FEDE
MRS. WHEATLEY TO RUN AGAIN FOR PRESIDENT
Delegates Nominate Mrs. Lillian Lottier On Opposition Ticket.
MEETING HELD IN SUBURBAN SCHOOL
Business Held Up Until 10: 30 For Lack Of Constitutional Quorum
The nomination of Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley at head of a slate and the placing in nomination of Mrs. Lillian Lottier were among the outstanding proceedings of a stormy session of the Federation of Parent Teachers at the Waverly School, 32nd and Talbert street, Tuesday evening.
The business session in which the nominating committee made its report came at 10:20 p. m. only after a heroic effort had been made by the chairman, Mrs. Wheatley, to major a constitutional majority of 25 delegates, and only after she had dispatched her husband, Dr. Wheatley, to call for a delegate which she said expected to attend.
From the very beginning the meeting seemed charged with the elements of explosive tension. It was after a clock before the meeting, when Mrs. Wheless introduced Mrs. Thomas E. Cottman of Ecclesiastion, who gave an interesting talk on the surgical wounds being performed in cuffs, at the John Hopkins University, Mrs. Cottman, accompanied by her husband, left immediately after her talk, and reports of ac-

WASHINGTON, D. C.—General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans Bureau, in a statement Monday, denied that there would be any change in the policy of operating the United States Hospital for disabled Negro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala.

N. Y. Senator And Health Expert Speaks At Interracial Meeting
DR. SPENCER WOULD BAR JIM CROW CAR
Morgan President Stands On Same Platform With Senator Bruce
That the time will come that every person may expect to live a century and that there are now 3500 men and women in this country more than 100 years of age, were some of the high spots in an address by Senator Royal C. Copeland which featured Health Week here Friday evening.
The speaker also made his hearers sit up and take notice when he stated that his study of the U. S. Constitution had brought him to the belief that his main duty is not to protect property but to serve humanity.
Predicting that we faced a future of an enormous population, he stated that it was time that we give thought as to how we are going to house and properly protect this population. 137,000 babies, he said, are born in New York City each year. The U.S. population will double itself, he said, within the century.
The Senator predicted a decline in the death rate until physicians would go out of style. Even now, he said, he is embarrassed when he finds himself affected with a common cold. Sickness, he said, indicated a violation of health laws which could have been avoided.
Having lived all his years in the North and West, the senator said he had no idea of the color problem until he attended the meeting here and listened to the speech of those who preceded him.
Others who spoke on the program were U.S. District Judge Morris A. Soper, former Judge Charles W. Heusler, President John O. Spencer of Morgan College, Supervisor Francis M. Wood, C. J. Calloway, secretary of the Interracial Commission which sponsored the meeting, and John Berry, Health Week Chairman, Senator Copeland was introduced by Dr. Harry S. McCard.
End Of Jim Crow Cars
Dr. Spencer, discussing the aims of the Interracial Commission, said he wished the same educational opportunities for colored children as he wished for his own. Quoting a recent statement by Senator Wim Koehler, he said the time had come to get rid of the jim crow car in this state.
None Safe Until All Are Safe
Supervisor Wood told how the Koehler Commission of which he is a member, improved conditions in that state. Health, he said, is an interracial question. Dr. Spencer said he would all are safe from disease."

Alumnus Declares Mere Pulpit Residence Not Enough Training to Run A College Some Other Way Ought To Be Found For Howard to Pay its Debt to Congregational Church—Same Trustees Who Elected Durkee to Pick New Head—Trustees and Alumni Pulling Apart.
Br ALUMNUS
While some of our contemporaries are industriously picking the next president of Howard University, Alumnus will shrink from such an ambition. He insists that candidates should not be unloaded upon the trustees, but feels that the colored people must realize that they have a vital interest in this matter. Just now every serious thought should be centered upon Howard University; although the function of selecting the president is that of the trustees, the result of their momentous action will be felt by the whole race.
It is possible that the machinery of the Nominating Committee is so well lubricated that there can be no hitch in their plans. Loyal to Howard Publishing, seriously hope that trustees will not repeat their tragic consequences of last June. According to their spokesman at that time two committee in joint session had a gigantic struggle to decide what professors should be "economized out of the professors' budget" and religiously up to the prophecy of the Washington Post of June 8, 1925, dismissing the very professors whose names had been listed by the POST.
Prestige
Whether the Howard Trustees know it or not, their memorable acts of last June have diminished greatly their prestige. They may or may not care about such a loss, but for the good of Howard University they should give the institution a new administration that will merit confidence. The writer feels that the press is making a mistake in naming candidations, and in promoting candidates. This is no political campaign. It is or should be, a solemn and sober piece of business requiring clearness of vision and forcefulness of thought.
Qualifications
The press may well insist upon the qualifications of the next president, but not upon the name, except to call attention frankly to the unfitness of glaringly weak possibilities. Nevar in the history of Howard University has there been a more urgent need for an educator and administrator. Let no reader be advised that strong opinions all that are necessary. The president must be a man whose qualifications as an educator and administrator his faculty will be compelled to respect.
Howard Ill
Howard University today is a very ill patient. For eight consecutive years it has suffered from a complication of complaints. Every time some poor painful professor has tried in an agony, he has been lashed into an unnatural humane. The most stalwart wart have almine snapping the brain, the only blinding faith in the ultimate supremacy of right over wrong has kept many faithful professors on the job.
If the Nominating Committee is going to fill the real need at Howard University, rather than merely the presidency, it must first recognize that there is a serious illness at Howard and diagnose the symptoms attempting to write the prescription. The committee may, of course, defy the thinking public, but it is not wise to take such a course.
Weak Leadership
One incapable symptom of Howard's aliment is that of a weak leadership. Almost every ill in the whole category of educational maladies has its origin in this germ, weak administration. No institution can become great under weak leadership. The whole-hearted support of a trustee board is to expected, but it can not supplement innate weakness in the attempt is going to be made to put a strong educator at Howard, the situation will not be improved and the agitation will surely become more bitter. The alumni wish it to be known in every section of the country that they will not compromise on qualifications. They frankly prefer a Howard man, for they feel that Alma Mater, with over a half century of service, has provided one of its own graduate education is competent president. In spite, however, of this natural sentiment, they will accept any outstanding educator whose qualifications and achievements will command their respect. No Church Politician
They demand that the presidency of Howard University be removed from church and ward politics and placed into the field of education where it rightfully belongs. Thereby hangs a terrible tale of trouble that is brewing between the alumni and the trustees. A clash between the basic desires of the alumni and the undisputed preagregatives of the trustees is inevitable.
Same Trustees
With a few exceptions, the very same trustees that brought the retiring president of Howard University back upon to elect another. To the casual observer it looks as though the trustees of well-intentioned persons is by no means expert in sizing up the qualifications of university presidents.
Each, no doubt, is expert in his own profession, but that profession does not evidently embrace the seating. When they brought to Howard University for its president a village preacher who did not have one idea of his problem, they acted with as much wisdom as might be expected of a Baptist minister who is capable to pick the winner at a horse race.
Well Pleased
The public must keep in mind that the trustees, with slight exception, are well pleased with their retiring president. They consider him wonderful and ascribe to his honor and glory a mythical development of Howard University. They declare that he has raised the college from an overgrown high school to the first rank of American Colleges; that he has covard the campus with new buildings; and that he has brought an enviable name to the university.
Alumni Scoff
The alumni, who are closest to Howard, scoff at those representations. They know that the morale at Howard has never been so low; that the scholarship has never been so low; that the present administration has made Howard the big joke of American education by stroying and restoring will the college, by hiring professors to take salary, by absentee with full salary, and by creating collegeless deans. The person eager to produce a book
on what a college administration should not do can find all the material for his thesis at Howard University between the years 1918 and
Pulling Together
Whether the trustees or the alumni can maintain their opinion is not a matter of moment. The point is that when it comes to ideas of a president, these two bills together, cannot possibly agree. Sane and sober public opinion will concede the rights of the trustees in making a selection, but it will not deny that the alumni have a perfect right to insist upon the type of president they want. If they want them, they would be a disgrace to their degrees if they sat idly by with no interest in the matter.
Long Vacation
While the trustees have publicly indorsed the present administration the alumni have insisted in press on the platform and in resolutions that the administration go on a long vacation. The administration has obeyed, the administration has obeyed, the Public press has quoted some as requesting Dr. Durkee to reconsider his resignation. Despite therefore, the resignation of Dr. Durkee, alumni and trustees are as far apart as they were last June.
Dubious Wisdom
It may show wisdom on the part of university trustees to ignore the wishes of their alumni, but such wisdom is surely dubious. The university that can live long without the sympathetic cooperation of its offsprings is an anomaly, the like of which education has not yet known. The trustees, of course, at the upper hand, who enjoy the right to attend an appointment. The writer, however, wishes to repeat his former advice that the employment of every right does not always lead to happiness or contentment. A happy, contented Howard means much more than the exhibition of a right that the trustees may employ without challenge.
The Way Out
It remains to be seen if the trustees will come right back at the alumni with the same type of president as the departing ambassador to Brooklyn. Will their action result in a continuation of the right to the alumni? Will the trustees offer the alumni no real reason for continued strife? The only way to quiet the alumni is to give Howard University a president for whose qualifications the trustees will not have to apologize.
Congregational
The reader must realize that Howard University is the proud offspring of the Congregational Church. It is impossible to say too much in praise of the relation of that denomination to Howard University. In fact, the Christian attitude of that denomination towards the Neo-Christian basis has been unkindable, but this is no potential argument for making the presidency of Howard University a pension berth for ministers of that faith. It is about time for the trustees to find some other means of expressing gratitude to that altruistic denomination. Neither gratitude nor sentiment should ever die, but the traditional virtues should form the basis of a selection of the president of Howard University
No Preacher
It is by no means essential that Howard University have a congregationalist minister as president but it is very essential that the institution have an educational leader. Out standing qualifications, and not denominations, should then form the selection train of president of Howard University. There is crying need of a real educator who is competent to study his problem and give Howard a place not deprived wholly upon publicity agents. There is positively no objection to a preacher-president if he has added the edgings of any successor president. More pulpit and platform qualities are not sufficient for university guidance. A minister trained to run an educational institution is as acceptable as any other educator, but mere pulpit residence is not enough training to run a university. Churchmen are the most college presidents any more than schoolmen are the best selections for leadership in churches.
Real Educator
Many of the blunders leading to the present estrangement between the present administration and the alumni could never have been made by a real educator. A trained educator, like a trained musician, can teach a subject to a student. It is always an unprofitable risk to put a conspicuously untrained person over a carefully trained group. First of all, the untrained leader becomes unduly inflated. When he realizes that a field of knowledge is necessary, he assures over for him; he considers his lack of training a real virtue and consciously or unconsciously declares war on the most highly trained of his subordinate group. The weaker he is, the more often he has to call upon his board to back him, and uch backing is always ready.
On the other hand, it is a pretty bitter pill for any group of carefully trained persons to swallow in having placed over them a superior whose qualifications are so feeble that fickle fortune is cursed for playing such a trick. There is no common ground upon which a weak leader and strong subordinates can meet. The alternative is to weaken all subordinates to replace the weak leader by a stronger person of unquestionable qualifications. Lawyer In Hospital
It is an excellent policy to place over every group a person whose qualifications are recognizable. It is dangerous to put a lawyer in charge of a hospital, a physician on a prison, or a priest in a bishop's place. It is just as dangerous to put a minister over an educational institution. Until the trustees of Howard University are impressed with this simple truism, the university will consider a specialization, and men cannot function in strange occupations for which they have had no training.
Kind Of Education
The aim of every incer- negr should be to make Howard University an efficient institution. The very life of a nation depends upon the kind of education that is provided. Unfortunately, colored people are not as fussy.
as they ought to be about the standards of their universities. They have grown to value good homes, clothes, and automobiles, but are still a little to satisfied with the schoolmaster. Race advancement cannot be divorced from education. This means

W. L, Davis, chairinan of the Branch
Legal Committee und J. ‘Thomas
Newsome, of Newport News, assisted
the Commoniveulth's prosecutor in
conducting thé case uguinst the
white merchant.
Banks, the convicted. merchant,
testified ‘that the shooting was ac-
cldental, that he broke open a re-
volver he kept in his store and a
bulletin the chamber accidentally
exploded killing the young colored
boy. Detectives testitied, however,
that the heighth of the counter was
‘slich that the boy could not have
been accidentally shot from behind
it unless the revolver had been held
at_the height of a man’s shoulder.
Reports sent by Mr. Edwards tn-
dicate that the occasion of the kill-
ing was u dispute over pay for work

3 cents, “That is not what you
promised,” he is reported to have
sald, whereupon the merchant is
alleged to have reached under his
counter and shot the 11-year-old
child through” the head. Mr, Ed-
Wards states {t us of his personal
knowledge that this is. the third
murder of a colored child under 13
years of age by white men in Nor-
Tolk within tho past ten months.

The "The Miracle" he did with the batik work used in the production; designed all of Lady Diana Manner's costumes all of the scenery in the Gold Scene; and helped in the execution of the Biel-Gedess scenery. He also executed the "Red and Gold" number for the Junior League show. He poses for the Rice studios and appears in picture productions occasionally.
He was brought from Fort Scotts, Kansas, where he was born, by the late Joe Williams who placed him among the famous Williams and Walker productions. After being stranded several times with various companies and undergoing many hardships, his persistence finally landed him on top.

INDIANAPOLIS—Eddie Lemon, well known comedian formerly with "Shuffle Along" and recently heading his own musical, "The Stepping Babies," shot and seriously wounded Charles Olden, following an argument in the dressing room of the Washington Theatre here last Week.

The actor is charged with assault and battery, with intent to murder. The argument, members of the company told the police, began over money that Lemon was alleged to have overcharged him. He shot Olden and then hit him over the head with the butt of the revolver. Olden is in a critical condition.

Law Student Alleges Discrimination When He Applied For Seat In Orchestra
CIVIL RIGHTS LAW
ALLEGEDLY VIOLATED
Policy Of Theatre Insulting To Large Colored Patronage Is Said
NEW YORK—F. W. McCoy, a post office clerk and law student at Columbia University, has entered suit against Loew's Victoria Theatre alleging that the management violated the Civil Rights Act on Easter Monday. McCoy says that he purchased a downstairs ticket for the matinee performance, but when he started to go into the orchestra he was stopped at the door by a female usher who informed him that all seats on the first floor were taken, and the balcony was taken by the balcony. Presenting his ticket at the box-office he was told by the cashier that the ticket he held called for downstairs he alleges. However this assurance did not secure him the desired seat.
General Fact.
Several persons testified that they gave white paper purchases or orchestra seats, and vigorously deny that all orchestra seats had been sold as contended by the manager of the theatre. Loew's Victoria has a large colored patronage, but they are seated in the upper part of the house. It is said that the statement "All orchestra seats sold" is the stereotyped reply to colored purchasers.

The Idaho Company, repeating here for the second time in the last two months, opened on Monday afternoon. The buyers though just informal in number distributed evidences of satisfaction generously throughout the entertainment, and tamped at the finish.
Whoever produced the show has a wonderful memory, for the resurrection of "Dan Chain Lightening" as a closer request to grow old and show world wide parallels. Which was proven when customers howled with glee at Idaho and Boatner in their roles of the cowardly cop and Bad Dan respectively. The presentation ticked East Baltimore on Monday and doubtless for the rest of the week. Dan Chain Lightning may be able to flash on Broadway with his old time speed, but he's bright in Old Town.
Idaho's company is composed of a bunch of willing workers, who are ably directed by Idaho and his attractive wife. The pair formerly appeared as a team in vaudeville, and are piloting their company to success as they did their former act. A chapter of "Wild West," a Mathe News and two comedies opened the bill.

Dusty Murray—Eddie Hunter Trio
"Dusty" Murray's Strutting Along
Company, seen earlier in the season
at the Star opened here on Monday
for the week. A large supper show
audience watched the company strut
on Monday night.
Belle Johnson Murray, (Miss Red
Top) established favorite, was wildly
greeted and individually captured
the lion's share of the honors. The
company "Dusty" Murray are the comics, reaching
their highest point in applause-
gaining in an inpiece which is
a humorous satire on "Everyman"
and similar plays. A quintette com-
posed of four men and Belle Murray
proved popular, as did "Little
Bits" Randolph, a Farewell local en-
gagement, Belle Hicks and Dorothy Holmes, the two girls from
Galveston who are making their first
acquaintance with the North, did a sister act that was evidently appreciated.
Dorothy Ray, also a Baltimore artist, was noticed in the lineup of choristers and gave a most excellent account of herself. "Bob" Robinson used a number of instruments, including the jazz trimming without the aid of the orchestra. Murray also soled a speciality to which was added a pantomine. Ray, mound and Sam Johnson are chorus men. The company is tasy and easy to sing, and they are to great advantage in a "strut" number at the close.
Eddie Hunter, recently star of "How Come," Randall, and Senorita, have been added to the program. Hunter, one of the ace comics of
with
THE DANCE OF THE WEEK
the country, had the customers doubled up with laughter in a sketch having to do with an army prisoner. Senorita uncorked some dancing that was far too short for those in the army to shoot and all more of the fetching young woman's interpretations. Randall proved a ready foil for Hunter. The three work together with a professional smoothness which Baltimore is not often enabled to enjoy. As a word of caution I might add for the general good of all apprehension that all dialogue and talk be pitched to carry to the rear of the theatre. The acoustics in this house make it necessary that every word be spoken forte to carry to the rear of the auditorium. There is a decided contrast in the sound of the Eddie artist and that of the other artists who appear here. Each word of the former could be distinctly heard from each section of the house.
Western House Sold
Tulsa, Oklahoma—Loula, T. and J. W. Williams have sold the Dream-land to J. W. Cotter, white. The theatre is in the business section and will have a population of 30,000 to draw from.

I am with the cash buyers, hook, line and sinker. Tan Town Topics will be the subject of discussion for all of this week, and will leave pleasant thatrical state in the mouths of everyone long after they have packed their trunks and left.
In the first place there is a collection of artists up here this week that cannot be assembled in a short days journey. Maude Mills, sister of the Divine Florence, and Philip Giles, an elongated comic, who is a comic, appeared early in the proceedings, and could have had the family plate for all the customers cared. Miss Mills running true to family form looks good, good associated with that tall Giles boy, but two form an incomparable combination.
Then there are delightful Adelaide Hall and Leondus Simmons, both with everything they need in appearances and artistic ability. Miss Hall has just returned from Europe, and may she stay on this side of the Atlantic forever and EVER. Miss Simmons, is a big dummer, a fact that was testified to by auditors on Monday evening. They noted that of these two artiste here, Gulfport and Brown, the male double, in "Leave My Wife Alone" unloosened some CHEST lauds from the chair-holders that
other act that proved class will tell.
Arthur Gaines, whose billing says demonstrated their approval. An is a songbird extraordinary, lives up to a his billing thoroughly and convincingly. In a Spanish troubadour's colorful costume and strumming a guitar Gaines made several feminine hearts thump just a little faster. Walter Brown whistled his way to distinction, and added a novel variation rather rare. Eddie Rector and Ralph Cooper, received an ovation when he went on to dance in the teams for their entry, and from thence until evermore they danced in the infinitable style that few dancing teams of today.can equal.
Baltimore likes its dancing—but likes its dancing hot—Eddie Rector and Ralph Cooper. Up in Baltimore coming to Baltimore must be RIGHT, after the twon folk have lamped these two past masters.
"Fats" Wailer has assembled a band that in the number they played for a curtain raiser and in their subsequent accompaniment proved another unit of the company that the cash customers didn't hate. Several nervy patrons who came in on "Oakley" were as noisy as the rest: I wasn't silent myself. A lavish hand has furnished georg-

THEATRICAL SECTION Where the Professionals Play—Routings
Two weeks ago, Carolyn Snowden appeared at the Regent in Fox's "The First Year," in the trade papers and in the screen cast Miss Snowden's name appeared. Hers was a comedy role to be sure, but purely comedy, and not the clownish antics that have so often been portrayed when viewing pictures. Recently Florence from the movie appeared as a "mammy" in "The Dancer from Paris," she too was rightfully given program notice in the cast. The accomplishments of Farina and "Sunshine Sammy" are of such recent achievement that they need but a
slight reminder, the dean of colored players, has long borne the distinction of appearing in the greatest of spectacles and being given just recognition in mentioning the cast. It is gratifying to join him in the belated acknowledgment of his ability. It is announced that Cecil B. De Mille, famous director of "The Ten Commandments" will soon B. make a picture with the colored cast. No foolish race relation discussion will be expected in the plot, but it is reported to be a pure exposition. No life. If true that means something incubacally val, Micheux is holding on like grim death to his objective, and is producing some mighty good pictures. TELL 'EM "WE ARE RISING IN PICTURES."
"Little Annie Rooney" First Of
SHE'S MY SWEETHEART, I AM HER BEAU
SHE'S MY ANNIE,
SHE'S MY NELL MARRY, NEVER TO PART
LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY IS MY SWEETHEART,
You'll be more than 25 years of age to remember when this chorus was more popular than what-the Charleston is today. If you are one of those who sang it, go on up to the RECORD for a day, Friday, or Saturday and watch the "My Roooney" for the picture it was on, and the golden times when this song was on. You are younger go up too AND GET ACQUAINED.
every time.
Imagine charming Mary Pickford in one of the kid roles that helped so large to build her fame. There are lots of kids in the picture that you'll be sure to like especially two little colored boys who are as clever four kid actors, that you have ever seen.
There is a nice mixture of comedy and drama—even tragedy. One of the most effective scenes is the one at the end of the night. She has prepared a feast to celebrate. There are table decorations and presents. But a stalwart blue-count arrives to tell with a gulp that Officer Rooney will never come home
The battles between the rival gangs of kids are full of good comedy. All sorts of weapons are used. Annie hurls and is hurled at by all varieties of missiles. Perhaps there is a bit too much repetition here.
the backyard "Wild West Show" is a scream. Also the gathering of many national artists who are members of re-works of the frightening in the hands of Annie's mob.
You'll Be No "April Fool" When You
Each matinee and night performance next week, the Royal is going to play "The American Venus," a type of picture that is decidedly new and absorbingly entertaining. Seven of the leading contests in the 1925 beauty pageant in Atlantic City, and seven principals dressed in georgeous costumes will appear lightly to you ladies, and the gentleman fan will not hate the abbreviated costumes which
are scanty. There are too gorgeous floats and the beautiful contestants of the recent beauty pageant held in Miami, Florida, who are also judges at the Pier Theatre with the most beautiful girls in the country as mannequins, also done in Technicolor, furnish additional eye lamps, and America" and America" and would give up some excitement.
seven other contests, every thrilling automobile and motorcycle rides during which collisions are providentially avoided. A motorcycle with the hero and heroine sandwiched between two trains running at a furious rate of speed provides a moment of silence.
THE STORY
Mary Gray is betrothed to Horace Niles, a say to whose father Mary's dad is indebted. Both Mr. Gray and Mr. Niles are engaged in the manufacture of cold creams. Niles presents his gestures signing up for a tour of the Atlantic City beauty pageant, and he asks for testimonial. When he falls in love with Mary and realizing her great chance to win the contest Chip appoints himself her publicity manager. Mary breaks her engagement with Horace and enters and wins the contest with Mary's team, destabilizing and putting the meantime taken flower and their marriage is planned.

topics. Pola Nogel, gorgeously gowned and exhaling exotic waves of personal manganese intimacy, is the centerpiece of the event, with experts. On the side Mal St. Clair, the director, has added some Hal Roach comedy fourishes, which brings the film to the very brink of realism. The sort of love of sending you a movie that you're getting your money's worth.
CAST AND SYNOPSIS
Countess Elmora Natalitorini.....Pola Negri
Gareth Johns.....Charles Emmett Mack
Richard Granger.....Holmes Harbor
Lennile Porter.....Blankspirit
Santi Poore.....Chester Conklin
David Poore.....Lucille Ward
Judge Porter.....Guy Oliver
Mrs. Macbauer.....Dot Parley
Mrs. Fox.....Mrs. Pourier
Annie.....Dorothea Wolbert
The Countess Elmora, disappointed in love and betrayed by the man she believed in most, decides to leave society's European playgrounds, and retreat to the quiet, subdued life of a mid-western American city. Her arrival in the strictly moral community occasions a sensation, exotic appearance and maneuvering the basis for slurious group, which virtue. Her orders her to leave town. She refuses. At a public bazaar, in an impassioned oration the district attorney counts the countess as an femoral woman. Later the infuriated Countess horse-wips him, and arangely, he sequesters in a chanted spirit, the same feelings for him. So the incident closes with their betrothed.
"Midshipman" At Carey On Tuesday
The Carey has scored another coup by securing "The Midshipman." A story of Annapolis and the Navy. This wonder drama bears a special appeal to Marylanders because of the local interest awakened by its Annapolis locale.
The early sequences are devoted almost entirely to the development of humorous situations. Later the film turns into melodrama with the boys in blue again dashing to the rescue in the picture stress. One of the scenes in the picture contends when Novarro is asked by breckled-free Wesley Burry to fill out his sister's dance card. Novarro looks at Barry, who disgives into a girl the image of her brother. Wesley as a girl will get a laugh anywhere. There are other shots showing the hazing of the new arrivals by the upper classman. The characters are well stressed. Novarro and Harold Goodwin, Tex in the picture put on a good lively bounty in the beginning of the film. They remain enemies throughout the action, but the Navy spirit wins and in the last reel they are fast friends. The uniforms of the Academy become Midshipman Randall. The uniforms of the Academy become him. Harold Goodwin renders an even performance in the character bit of another caddet, Tex. The rest of the cast helps materially. Crauford Kent plays the heavy with easy confidence.

The Mills Sisters
Maude Mills, who appears at the Royal this week is one of three sisters of whom Florence Mills now starring "Blackbirds of 1936" is the most famous. The two sisters with another Olivia, once formed a trio was disbanded and dwindled to Maude and Florence. Florence soon joined hands with the late "Kinky" Clark and played many dates throughout the country.

The Regent management seems determined that Northwest Ballard more shall get a chance at success. "Phantom of the Opera," and other features that will be screened within the next few months substantiate this. Frequently features have almost paralleled their showing in the
might be the growth of this house from the former 499 seat theatre to the present structure that has a capacity of nearly 2,000 in 10 years shows commendable progress. Since his founding of the house most every prominent read show and voudeville act that has ever toured the country has appeared here. A father Lewis Hornstetler and Isaac Hornstetler are the owners of the managers. Recently a playroom was built on the equipment thus enhancing the pleasure of the patrons. The Regent is one of the few houses in the country with stage space enough to play the largest road companies.
Uncle Tom's Uncle
After enjoying a short vacation Farina and her associates in "Our Gang" have returned to work. Their first picture will be entitled, "Little Tom's Uncle" a traversity on "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Little Farina seems to maintain her lead as child star since "Sunshine Sammy" has been appearing in vaudeville. Sammy, it is thought, will return to the lots when he has completed his vaudeville bookings.
New York's Operators
New York City's motion picture operators are making a determined fight, backed by press and public, to secure the positions in all of the colored theatres. A writer on a weekly of that city last week seemed to doubt the ability of the colored men to measure up, or so we take the following statement. "Operators going into the Lincoln must be able to man the spot, and conversant with the men, and be prepared for suggesting, we cite the experience of ten houses in Baltimore who now employ colored men. Some of them for years have done so.

The members of the first team represent the pick of our collegiate basketball players. This combination could easily win the championship over any basketball team including the Chicago All Stars, Leonids, Benedice Drugs and other leading independent teams. Leading basketball critics state that an ideal basketball team is one with all five men shooting as well as guarding the ball. Of the best scoring men in the country, Hill and Richey are the best forwardes of the season. Both are well known in the court. The best defensive men have failed to hold these two men scoreless in any game. Dillard and Sykes obey the rules of the game, men only suppressed by Hill and Richey. Johnson and Lunceford do not have the experience of Dillard and Sykes and therefore they were awarded.
The pivot position is a very important place on any team and usually involves a player who is the pivot man in basketball has the same relation to the court game as the quarterback does to football. In other words the center is usually the brains of the team. The pivot man is also because of his height and offensive ability obtains first place. There is but little difference between Spars and Players. Good defensive players are rare. Ward is without a doubt the best guard in collegiate circles. He is a good shot and a wonderful team drummer. The other player is going to do and he always breaks up shots and passes. Johnson makes an ideal running mate for Ward. There is but slight difference between the other guards, which are mentioned above. With the closeup of the basketball season of this year and the problem of not a tournament next season at some large city as Atlanta, with the four leading teams competing for the first authentic collegiate championship of the season.
WALLACE'S PITCHING BEATS HAMPTON. 5-2
HAMPTON, Va.—The St. Paul Tigers with Wallace hurling mastery mall defeated the Hampton mall by a score of 5 to 2, evening the count in games and at Wallace struck out eight men and allowed but five hits. His support in the field was almost airight. "Jimmy Adams, doing mound duty for the Seasiders, fanned light and was touched by a blast" by Ragged support by the Hampton fielders, which was taken advantage of by the Tigers, was one of the factors inaling the St. Paul nine to victory.

Jack Johnson Granted Temporary Injunction
CHICAGO, ILL.—Jack Johnson former heavyweight-champion of the world, was granted a temporary prison sentence by Wilton Tuesday, enjoining the police from interfering with the operation of his fight club unless they have knowledge of the premises being occupied by the premises. Johnson sued for the injunction before his opening a few nights ago but the order was denied on the boxing law this week. The raid on his club opening night forced Johnson to push his suit, which resulted in the granting of the inju-

NEW YORK—The Brooklyn Royal Glants won a slugging bee from the Bay Ridge nine at Graham Field Sunday by a 14-0 victory. John Armstrong and Johnny Armstrong, for Bay Ridge were the opposing pitchers.

A few are all expected to show the multitude of worthy opponents in meeting the Sox. A number of the District players are already being sought after by league scouts.

Peine, a new recruit, has been training in the outfield all week and looks like he is sure of a regular berth for the Cubs. Nor will he be seen in action in the infield. Both have lived up to expectations in practice and it remains to be seen just how they will conduct themselves under fire. "Babe Ruth" Wilson, if possible, is better than last year. The "Babe" is sporting a Bulk Roader as well as a mighty lightning. In the first game the Giants he proved beyond a doubt that he is the same terror to opposing pitchers. The Sox will open up the league season on May 14, and the home game will be played on a Saturday at Sparrows Point. On Sunday the same teams will play a doubleheader at Maryland Park and on the following Monday they will play at Baltimore. All four games will be counted as league contests. Jojo is still holding out and it is more than likely that the Cuban and Speddell will not come to

Tarleton Strong who is rated as one of the best young pitchers in the country, has been in Ohio all winter and will be back in time to open the season and William Pinkney, 52 Edmondson Avenue, dyed in the wool Sox fans, almost had the heebee jebies when they heard that Strong would not be bearded this year, he would said he would not be.

OVER HAMPTON NINE
RICHMOND, Va. — "Bish" Merritt, Virginia University's oldest pitching "pitch" made the Hampton baseball team fan out and fly out without a tie. Three runs from as many hits, last Monday before a large and colorful crowd. Last year's chumps appeared well-worn for the game, with pitching as it did. Union is bound to again be up with the leaders in the championship race this year. The team was nip and tuck until Haverford made up things by poling out a four-baser over the centerfield fence and Shields completed the loop around the base paths in front of the Shields and Jackson also hit safely. Harrogree twirled a good game for Hampton: his support was somewhat less than usual, the whole team behind him as a unit. Breaux and W. A. Smith made hard

Someone perhaps has been the co-founder of the two leaders in organized baseball. It will mark the third term that each has been a member of the seaboard top. Lloyd P. Thompson will hold the Bacharach Giants, while Taylor sponsored the Washington Potomacs and last year played with the Harrisburg Giants. Just another coincidence is the fact that each leader in the old old buddies in their new berths. In Baltimore Brother Ben will find Bob McClure, Bill Force, Crush and all of these players all of the players were under the wing of Taylor when he headed the Indianapolis A. B. C. team in 1922. He again established in New York with a quartet of former Bacharach Giants whom he managed last season in Bill Nuttal, Tom Finley, Roy Roberts and Johnnie

Hugh Fullerton in a recent issue of *Liberty* gives some new faces on an old subject. Under the caption, "Why Dempsey Does Not Fight Willis," Air. Fullerton throws fresh light on a mystery that has kept the sport, puzzled for six years.
He starts off by saying that Jack Dempsey would rather fight Harry Wills than anyone else, and Harry Wills would rather fight Jack Dempsey than any one else; in fact both seem to refuse to fight Jack Dempsey. He also assures Dempsey to fight Wills two years ago than refused to let the two fight. Then two years later the Board ordered Dempsey to fight Wills on pain of suspension and suspended Dempsey from boxing in New York or in any state under the rules. Tex Rickard, the world's greatest fight promoter, admits the fight and $200,000 to Wills to have the match staged at the sequesterment to promote it. Philadelphia made an open call, but the judge, yet he refused absolutely celebration, Mr. Fullerton asks the following questions:
WILL AFFECT VOTES
"Why are these things? Why won't Rickard promote the fight? order men to fight, forbid them to fight?" Back of all the mysterious men have puzzled fight fans is polite, a fight between a Negro and a white world will affect votes. The Negro City have been promised that Wills politically favor to keep that persuaded that a match between blow to boxing, not only in New York Dempsey is likely to fight Cen York politicians blame Rickard and it their power to force a Dempsey Puddle Mullins, manager of Wills is to fight Wills.

Why does the Boxing Commission order men to fight, forbid them to fight and then again order them to fight." "Back of all the mysterious moves and quick changes of front that have puzzled fight fans is politics. The fact is the politicians fear that they will be defeated. The Negroes of the Harlem section of New York City have been promised that Wills shall have a chance at the title." "Politicians fear to keep that promise. The promoters have been persuaded to box, not only in New York, but all over the country. Therefore Dempsey is likely to fight Gene Tunne in New Jersey while New York politicians blame Rickard and declare they have done everything in their power to force a Dempsey fight-Wills, so they will fight-Wills."

BY AFRO SPORTS EDITOR
The All-Baltimore Senior Basketball team presents a combination that would be hard to beat by any of the best professionals. It includes two men from Morgan and three from the Athenians. The selection to make was the first position which went to "Lanky" Jones of Morgan. This selection was based entirely on the performance of the two against the Boca Juniors played Howard, Lincoln and the Buccaneers under the same conditions. Jones scored more points and showed more skill on the tall Keller.
Honors Divided
However, when the two met, the honors were evenly divided. Jones scored a point in the first game while Keller scored 14 points against Morgan. In the game Easter Monday Jones scored two points while Keller scored an even 24 points against each other. So the decision was reached after studying the performance of each under other environments which were similar to both. Jones is cooler under fire than the Athenian pivot. A hard jolt or rough handing can make Jones "wanky" very rarely loses his head or temper under trying conditions. Both have height, but Jones is no doubt seven feet taller and youth

New Rule Works More Harm Than Good, Says Coach Young
This is the third of a series of articles by noted football coach Jason Kidd, who now forward pass rulling recently adopted by the American Inter-Collegiate Football League, curbing the use of the forward pass by teams on the short-end line in a minute minute — Editor's Note.
Br U. S. YOUNG
Hend Coach Lincoln University.
It seems to me that the Football Rules Committee has action taken to the forward pass more darn hard than good.
It is known by most everyone having any knowledge of football that the forward passing game has been the greatest competition between the large and small colleges and schools.
The question of weight and physical strength was certainly the greatest assesment in the forward pass. Small men in early days of the game were rarely of any service to a team. There were truly giants in the good old days. Gives me the forward pass play gave the small men their chance. Football has only become a thinking, scientific game since the advent of the open game. Small colleges and universities have advantages of the pass been able to make the going too hard for the big fellows. In my estimation the big schools have in the main not been able to keep up with the old rule, and are seeking measures to make their football lives more tranquil.
Much of the strategy of the game, in my opinion, is lost. The most natural thing now is to try your pass on the first down, the defenses will be a team which can complete a pass when the defense is set to meet it does not have to resort to any character of strategy. As a result of a series play the best used in a series of some kind. As a result of a series play the best strategy might be to throw a pass on the second or third down. As a result the proper play to use a team could easily be placed in a mighty embarrassing position by the loss of five sards. No football play can be guaranteed to be successful, it seems unfair to deny the loss of the pass on the second third down.

The Second Team
In basketball' as in any other sport, a good big man is always better than a good man who is. So Charlie is a good man. So Charlie is the first lineup. Charlie has all the advantages of Hickson except height. "Scrapy" Brown, although an opponent, has been erratic. He is known as an 'off and on player'. When he is good he is very, very good, but when he hs cis he is rotten. He is not good. He is loose and you never can tell when he is 'on' or for that matter. 'off'. On his 'on days' his peer is hard to find. Like the best profession
Young and Veney in guard, round out the second team. Both are good defensive players and can shoot. Young invariably shoots when his man is going to do and he is on the job breaking up shots and passes. With Veney as his co-partner these two compete with some of the best in this section of the country.
Better Passes Maybe
It is possibly argued that a team possesses a better system of passes; that the forward pass will now be greatly improved. Granted that this improvement will result, it is also possible that the system which have hereofore developed a splendid system of offensive tactics, based upon the forward pass threats are placed at a decided disadvantage
The rule protects and gives comfort to those less progressive teams, while putting an unfair problem to those more advanced teams, made the forward pass what it is. Why should teams like Notre Dame or the Dartmouth team of last year be penalized for failure to complete the forward pass? Because the very nature of their offensive system is based upon their deceptive and over-threatening aerial attack. By making the defensive system chiefly based on the forward pass, be limited in its use?
Few Win In Last Minute
I do not see wherein a team on the small side of the score should be penalized for moments through a violent air attack. I dare say that few games can be found where a team actually won a game through a penalty, known fact that many of these last minute. forward pass: are intercepted by the opponent with the result that the score is larger. With the smaller score attempts those plays which seems the best possible means of scoring. In baseball pinch hits are used; in basketball long shots are
The Fumbled Ball
As a general rule the pinch hitter fans out or pops up. The long baseballs get thrown into the ball and freezing it. In football the pass is generally incomplete or missed, sensational, last moment dying effort away from any team which has the grit to fight to the limit as to an inferior team defeating its opponent by what has been treated fortuitous circumstances. I am of the opinion that a hitter, a hazy player, leaving no the job who is allowed to run for a touchdown, is the play which the Rule Makers have sensational and legitimate out of football.

John Wesley Lewis, the All Star forward picked by the AFRO, shared scoring honors with 12 points each. These two scored enough points to beat the visitors. Parker and Sawage rounded out a fortunate game combination that kept the Capital boys out of shooting distance. Brown was a terrible threat at all times. His work added two leads to the right side, of ledger.
Lewis Shines
Lewis was really the big noise of the game. His sensational playing, shooting and court generalship, brought a lot of excitement. Time and again he ducked, dodged and skipped opponents to score from the floor. There was no stopping him. He took the six foot-three pivot, for the Community team, led his mates with four doubledeckers for high scoring honors, Glenns and Lacey reaped the points. Johns and Walker were closely guarded and failed to make a point. St. "Bs" Beat Grace Again. In the preliminary, Bain巴纳基教练 Grace emerged with Grace to emerge on the front end of a 27 to 24 score.

Carl Glass, the strike-out king, this year assumes the manager of a Red Sox. Bill Gatewood, veteran home run and pinch hitter, who for many years was with the National League, has been called to manage the Albany
Birmingham has drafted Clarence Smith, of Detroit, into service. Felton Stratton, who played as a fan for the Southern Giants last year, will be manager this year of the Nashville Elite Giants. As manager and owner of the New Orleans Ads, Fred Caulfield is national coach. William Love, pride of the Tennessee State Normal, formerly of the Detroit Stars, recently of the Detroit Red Sox, goes to Chattanooga to manage the team. Montgomery has wisely harnessed "Daddy" Cunningham, one of the best first basemen in America. Charles Bentley, probably manages Atlanta Black Crackers. He is known to ball fans wherever the "Black Barons" are known, having played with them for years. Under this same competitor, Southern Negro Baseball League will open its season.

"Face" Frazier and Ed Cotman made a fine combination at the "Grabbers" a merry chase.
Sam Turpin, center, starred for Crisfield, caging a total of five field goals. R. Sterling, slipped one over who also made good a chance from the foul line. W. Turpin and S. Miles, guards were held scoreless, as were the Academy guards. No institutions were made on either side.

John Carroll, the unconquerable distance runner of Baltimore, sailing under the wraps of the Grace Boys' Club, romped to a decisive victory over a classy field of 40 star marathoners in the annual Health Week street race Saturday afternoon.
The course of three and one half miles was covered by Carroll in 20 minutes, 15 and three-fifths seconds, a new record. Last year he won in 21 minutes, 39 and four-fifths seconds. The time was driven by one minute, 25 and one fifth seconds.

Robert Lee and Earnest Moody, all running for Grace, finished two and three respectively, hardly 10 yards apart. These three runners finished in the same order last year, but were running under the colors of the Bloom
Kane Leads
The race was run without a hitch and started two minutes after the scheduled time, while the course open and traffic at a standstill until the last runner had passed. The entire race was completed within half an hour after the start. Lincoln University, came in fourth, while William Dorsey, of the Druld Hall "Y" was the fifth to brace the tape.
Brace Wins Team Trophy
Grace Wins Team Trophy
Brace Grace also won the team trophy by anexing the least number of points, which were six.
Carroll was presented AFO gold tartre, the Royal Tartre, the Callaway silver cup for breaking the record and a leg on the Royal Theatre silver cup.
Grace was presented Grace to Grace, which was a silver cup known as the Regent Theatre trophy. The members of the winning team will receive in addition bronze medals from the Regent Theatre. The first 12 finishing prizes from various local merchants.
The prizes will be awarded Friday night from the stage of the two theatres. Those that live out of town have their prizes sent thru the mail.
Among the first 10 living out of Baltimore were: Frank Mitchell fourth, of Lincoln University; Tasco Thomas, sixth, of Manassas Industrial School; Leen Henderson, seventh, of Manassas Industrial School; Hugh Normal, and Hugh Hinecke Doran, tenhit, of Dunbar High, Washington.
Carroll Enter Big Meets
Carroll will. no doubt, compete in the big outdoor meets this spring and will be the host of the Olympics and the Hampton meets he will have to run for his school. His club is grooming him into an Olympian. He takes it in Europe. Carroll started his track career under "Tom" Jones a few years ago at School 112. Jones realigned the position from the rudiments of track competition.
Ran For AFRO
The AFRO induced Carroll last year to enter the Howard Meet in Washinton, where he finished second after slowing up on the last lap thinking it was the finish. This was his first active competition. He bested his five miles, but he can run at steady 10-mile race.
Altho. he broke his record of last year. Carroll was never pushed in the race. He stayed a block ahead of the field and finished in a brilliant and spectacular sprint as a daisy.
He took five steps of the race, of Bowle, led, William Dosey, of Drud Hill "I," was last and just ahead of him Charles Wallace, also of Drud Hill the rest of the runners punched.

Williams, the big spinner from the Middle West, is breezing away from the track guard, including Joe Carter, formerly of Brown University. From his past record and present form, Williams promises to give Do Hart Hubbard neat shave in the 100 yard speeches.
The Howard coaches are expecting Williams to lead both Hubbard and the famous "Jazz" Byrd to the task.
The Howard squandr expects to participate in the Penn Relays, the Baltimore Meet, the Lincoln Meet, and the Tampa Bay Meet. Try-outs for the Penn Relays will be held the first of next week.

James Sanford, a singer and dancer, was also a member of one of the bands that sat in a sorted in Camden, South Carolina. Barnum knew no color line.

Thoughts Of The Founder
Thoughts Of The Founder
All over the country can be found colored men occupying reasonable positions and the reason there are not more of them parish we are not prepared to them. Our classes in the public schools teaching trades should be crowded with boys seeking technical instruction."
Likker
Hearings before the Senate Judiciary sub-committee continued this week an bill proposing to modify the Obsted Act. The United States was termed the most lawless nation in the world. A survey of 185 cities showed an increase of arrests reported for
Witnesses declared jurors will indict while violating the law themselves. Former Judge Alfred Talley of New York has his observation from the bench is inciting that the dry laws are the largest factors toward crime. Judge Talley's survey of the murder rate in 1925 is as follows:
Pop. No. Rate per Murder 100,000
Jacksonville 95,460 69 72.3
Memphis 174,533 103 65.0
Birmingham 206,470 114 52.0
Savannah 69,347 37 38.3
Alabama 414,493 154 37.2
Houston 164,752 45 27.3
Ballas 194,450 53 27.3
Savannah 136,220 63 27.3
Chicago 202,280 563 18.8
Cincinnati 631,563 62 9.8
Philadelphia 1,575,364 192 9.7
Washington 457,906 81 12.3
Baltimore 796,296 82 10.4
New York 5,825,296 104 6.0
Philadelphia 773,690 14 6.2
Boston 773,690 24 3.1
Comparison with the murder rate in the same cities for 1924 shows that Birmingham, Boston, Memphis, Norfolk and Pittsburgh had fewer menders in 1925 burglaries than the other
Judge Talley's figures were cited to show that murder, the gravest human crime, increased as year due to the liquor law has increased by the figures showing how there were 50 per cent more prisoners in county jails in 1925 than in 1924; 62 per cent in county penitentiaries and 8 per cent in state prisoners were indicted in the county. There is something else Judge Talley's figures show. That is the high murder rate in cities of the south. Jacksonville, Memphis, Birmingham, Dallas, Houston, Miami heads the murder rate list. Jacksonville's murder rate is 7 times that of Baltimore, six times that of Washington and 9 times that of Norfolk. It is named on the Volsatad Act. It was so before the liquor laws were passed. It can't be blamed on Negroes. Baltimore, Washington and Norfolk have a nearly equal proportion of Negro and white
America's high crime, rate is tased by failure to enforce it by the general disrespect for law which had its beginning when the South demonstrated to the nation it could violate the 13th and 14th amendments to the Constitution being called to account by the federal government. This is the club held by the North over the head of the State of Texas and the 13th amendment and we'll agitate enforcement of the 14th. There results a deadlock. Neither is properly enforced and the crime increases. Letting down the bars to liquor and disfranchisement are behind the increase in crime. No part of the constitution has long as any part of it is unsafe.
Douglass Hi
the president of Williams College advised a Douglass High School graduate who had failed in his freshman year to return home and work in Dumbarton School, which he said, was one of the best preparatory schools in the country. This is a deserved compliment for the Washington High School for which he has sent its best scholarships to school colleges. However, he was thought, Ballmore had an A class High School.
Fisk Prexy
Mr. Thomas Elsa Jones, white, newly elected Fisk president, told Chicago alumni last week he took the job altho he has been warned he will lose his social standing and deserate his future. The educators have also applied for the position as president of Howard University.
Dodging
Dodging behind a technicality the Hinton代表, Representing Hinton, last week overwhelmingly voted down the reapportionment bill. The Constitution says:
"Representative; and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may include the states in accordance with their respective numbers. . . . The actual cummation shall be made within three years after the first instance of the United States and within every subsequent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. "The taxes the view that the "shall in the paragraph above refers to enumeration and not to reapportionment, despite the fact that such reapportionment has been made following every census since the first instance of the clear intent of the constitution. In dodging the issue, nullifying the constitution, congress is only obligated to be the keeper and the voteless South. It is an injustice. Some states have more and some less Congressmen than they are due. The folly of it can best be imagined. If succeeding states take the same stand.
Pat Harrison
Pat Harrison (Dem.) Senator from Louisiana, is having his innings. The Senate candidate late Judge Robert Terrell's place on the D. C. bench then reconsidered the nomination at Senator Pats's request. The vote was absent when the vote was taken.
Senator Pat says Mr. Colibb is too radical. He has been connected with the A.A. Liberian Loan and Segregation Case, which indicate that he may perchance believe in social equality or overcome the remarkable thing is how the Republican senatorial majority is always so weak-knined whenever offering Negroes are unconsidered.
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company figures indicate it costs $6.16 to raise a girl and $6.077 to raise a boy to the age of 18 years. Food costs $2,500; boy's clothing $12; girls $1,002. How know then how does a dad get by who has seven kids and an income of $25 a week.
The Interracial Commission
(From the Balto, Jewish Times)
There are more than one hundred thousand Negroes in the State of Maryland and we should all be interested in the well-being of all groups. Indifference means danger to the health and happiness of the rest. Last year we had an Interacial Commission composed of leading representatives of the white and colored races, to study the problems of the black and to improve the community. 1327. The Interacial Commission now functioning in other states, have been of great importance in promoting better understanding between the races. The Interacial Commission interests of the races in a community or state are discovered and advanced. Their usefulness has been evidenced by the splendid progress made in housing fields with noticeable benefits redounding to the entire community.
The Maryland Interfaith mission is the first of two basic forms. The first is that the New Negro is a person who is worth encouraging for the good not only of his own but of all peoples. As never before in the past, the second expression. In Music, Poetry, Art, in books, he is saying things of import. He is no longer the silent, suffering person we once knew. The second thesis is that each people has a contribution to make to the world's civilization. The sooner all groups can be brought to efficiency, the sooner the sooner be the people. Neither races or individuals work out their destines alone, but in cooperation.

Do Not Let Homes Run Down Advises This Forum Writer
Frequently much concern is expressed over the regrettable change in appearance that sometimes takes place in residential sections. We have observed / certain neighborhoods change hands rapidly and with the windows and painted woodwork have disappeared, while the houses have taken on an aspect of general neglect.
The lower part of a certain street in the northwest section presents, generally, the same condition as while certain blocks of another street, more recently occupied by colored residents, are already beginning to show signs of deterioration in many other sections of the city. This situation is partly due to the opening here and there of small stores and shops, but a large part are converted and used solely for residential purposes.
As unfortunate as this condition is, it is not without its parallel. The same disregard for tidiness and cleanliness of property is apparent among the various foreign national citizens living in certain sections of our city. For example, a walk through the district bounded by the Fallsway, Baltimore street, Caroline street and the water front in Washington to those described above. The great majority of the people who live here are from the countries of southern Europe. They seem perfectly contented to live a comfortable life, their economic condition is responsible for. Their steps are soldly washed and still less, frequently painted; they loll, dull cries, and shout out of front windows; their hallways exhibit rough, bare floors, with dirty uncarpeted stairways; untidy beds stand boldly in what in better days were living rooms, and before they broken window panes.
Many of these dilapidated dwellings give evidence of having been at one time the homes caretakers carefelt to preserve from the same conditions as do the dwellings in other sections, occupied by some members of our group, who are possessed of a certain familiarism in certain respects, to that of the southern European immigrant. The cleanliness of these homes will be preserved only when the caretakers are cultured an appreciation of desirable living conditions.
We All Are Newly Rich
When we stop to think if we were rich and the things which we could enjoy. Do you ever stop to consider that we all are in the same place as the few ancestors did not enjoy in their life. We are newly rich in blessings which we as a race did not enjoy a few years ago. Some are rich in money. Most of us are rich in opportunity, large in education, rich in science. The most profitable one is education. This wealth is not accomplished by fooling around. If a man or woman is blessed with wealth, he has accomplished these things. I consider these people as capitalists of their race. Howard Wallace, Brooklyn, Md.
Trouble With Archer's Laundry But None With Druld Laundry
To the Editor: The longest way around is certain. You go home.
We have been carrying our laundry to a branch office of Archer's Laundry because of its closeness to our place of employment; they lose some of the articles, and after dilly-dallying for a month we get no satisfaction. We go so often to the branch that it becomes embarrassing; then we are sent to the claim agent at the main office. He bustles around for about an hour and sets a time for your return at which time he must make some kind of an adjustment. When you return, in the gruffest kind of a manner, he tells you that he is unable to do anything and that we must wait for a curse. He is more about his appointment, we fall to have any confidence in his promises either one way or another.
A deal like this with many customers should enable the firm, in a short while to buy a few more blocks of streets, and to erect an immense
We: wonder that though it takes more time, more car fare to do so if it will not be more profitable to take our time.

But Graham's Cablegram To Bishop Brooks from Liberia Dated "Credit Exhausted, Situation Critical"
To the Editor:
I note that you made reference to a cablegram from West Africa stating that the missionaries are starving to Board. In reply, I beg to inform you that with what we have already sent to West Africa, and what we have ordered to be sent to that country in ten months over $22,000. We also have in our possession a letter from West Africa, dated February 19, 2014, checking on the Bank of British West Africa Limited, for the amount of Twelve Shillings and six pence—amounting to $3.00 in American money—his sister Liberia for a two years' subscription to our missionary periodical—The Voice of Missions—and the sender also sent to solicit, subscriptions for the paper from other missionaries. That is pretty good for "starving" preachers, do you not think so? H. COTT, Secretary Home and Foreign Mission Department:

There are 35,000 men and women in this country over 100 years of age, according to the Health Council, will be healthy until 2015. Senator from New York, who spoke at a Health Week Mass Meeting here Friday.
This ought to be the most encouraging milestone for Dr. Copeland predicts that 100 years will ultimately be the expectation of the average life. Think what you do. If you KNOW what I VOICE YEARS. You could have added five more years of educational preparation without missing it, and put in that ten years of intensive preparation before you become what beings seem not to have time to do.
Dr. Copeland also pointed out the CRIME OF DISEASE at illness preparation for the BREAKING OF SOME LAW BY SOMEBODY it may shock your sensibilities to realize that even when an innocent baby dies, CRIME AGAINST NATURE AT LEAST.
We may well predict the time when every recovery from illness will be followed by arrest and trial and death, since, practically, every illness effects every other human being in the community IN SOME WAY. You may be able to believe that the devil will flick the fittest and "the Devil will the hindermost" in the race of life, but you will have to admit that DISEASE - DOESN'T DOESEM - As Dr. Copeland emphasizes, the State must become responsible for certain fundamental conditions which will guarantee at least a chance to survive in this world. Particularism or communism to this degree would not hurt even the most individualistic believers.
Down on 762 Sarah Ann街 and at hundreds of similar places found by the Health Wesw Corners are suee sites where children are soothed why the society is emphasizing a health year instead of a health week.
At 762 and 764 Sarah Ann街, Miss Anna Williams and her paint up and clean committees found clear landlords had collected rents for ten years without providing any toilet arrangements for tenants and where the paper on the walls had not been changed for the next ten years.
It won't take much imagination to visualize the sanitary and health condition of such homes which exist in 'practically every town' to take much thinking either to figure out what Sarah Ann street means to McCollish St. when you realize that children from Sarah Ann街 associate with and sit with YOUR children in public
Before Miss Williams and her committee was through with the problem on Sarah Ann street the building fire department and the Street Cleaning departments had been brought into play and a toilet was going up at 762 Sarah Ann street and paper was on the wain at 764. The same thing could be done with every disease breeding alley or any reason at least why the people of Baltimore should have a health year instead of a health week until we crutseat it and I think we could correct folk die twice as fass as white folk in this city.
Russian Wives, Vodka And Divorce
An interesting bit of news came from Russia lately to the effect that husbands there have sold wives for two, bottles of Russian liquor. If this news item interest you think how many country interest foreigners.
Think for instance of reading a dispatch from Baltimore in woke love when 200 couples admit living together openly outside of wedlock. They do that right here. Or on the summary of recent divorce case as follows: "Divorce cost man $500,000 in American city." Some years ago and good and pliant this country almost down "in sackclothes" and ashes" because a Belgian king mutilated natives on rubber boots of them men, women and children looked on while a human

Their Reward
Two great characters, one international and one of local, one believing and one not-believing in the same thing, passed on their reward this week.
Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, who almost joined hands, with God in CREATING new things in the world, and who fathomed in eternal life. Good Mother Thaddeus Bennett, Oblate Sister of providence, who for more than 40 years was a GIVING HER LIFE- FOR OTHERS who passed believing that she would awake from her sleep of death in a paradise where souls live on for eternity. You get a shock when a man has courage enough to express his honest disbelief in God. When this writer was ill, he realized that indulges were sure to go to hell. Few of us believe that now. It will be probably a million years before any human being has anything like the right idea of God. We have yet to find out just how some things and wonders on THIS world look and what we believe in God and the world beyond.
Most of us believe in God like children believe in Santa Claus. The fact is some of us ideas we paint of God are true, but than the old day of Santa Claus. Last Sunday in a Baltimore pupit a conscientious and honest minded minister after assuring his congregation that God was wrong, then proceeded to tell them that He, this same God, afflicted them with disease and brought sorrow to them in the form of a terrible trouble. CASE THEIR FAITH. Certainly you don't believe that a merciful and ally God would kill a mother's baby to test her faith. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE THEM BELIEVE TO BE BELIEVE IN GOD.
The child who believes in a santa claus with reindeers and acorns ACTS UPON THIS BELIEF AND IS GOOD. IF HE WANTS TO GET THESE WANTS TO GO UP ON later and learn that Santa was a real father. You would not punish your child because you were a santa claus, PERHAPS NEITHER WILL GOD. The main thing is to act on such belief as we so the mighty scientist Luther Burbank and the sacrificing noble hearted Good Mother Bennett faced their Maker who like a father will understand it all better than we

He stole three chickens from
an old woman.
Balliff—"What is your plea
not guilty or did you really steal
the chickens?"
Prisoner—"Gullity."
Judge—"Shut up; we don't allow anyone to plead guilty in this
court. We are going to find you
guilty so we will draw a fee for
me."
Ballistic—"Do you want to be tried

Juror—"No; one look at the man tells me he is guilty." He looks at the wrong man; that's not the prizer; that's the State's Attorney."
Policeman—"Well, he made so much noise he woke me up."
Witness—"I didn't see him take them either, but I saw feathers in his back yard and saw him picking his teeth on the front steps."
State's Attorney—"Yes, your honor, and he has egg stains on his vest."
Judge—"Strike out that egg testimony. We won't have any fowl language in this court."
Judge—"Prisoner, what do you do for a living?"
Prisoner—"I am a music hall detective."

Bailiff—No, your honor, the jury is in a deadlock. "Judge—What, can't they decide on this innocence or guilt of this man?" Bailiff—It's not that, your honor, they are all drunk and can't remember whether they are trying a man to kill them. Judge—It looks more like they have been trying a case of home brew.

AFRO Clipings Used For Class Room Discussions
The AFRO-AMERICAN. Is not only a delight as a newspaper in my home, but a help to the boys and girls in my community. A prize or speech prize from any colored paper, to be discussed in classes in the school room, and it is a delight to see their pride and appreciation in reading the AFRO-AMERICAN. To me, it is a necessary journal.
I could not well do without it.

Kelly Miller Says
If in the next half generation we could fill our leading pulpits with college men of culture and consecration, and if the high places in leadership of thought and opinion were manned by men of college breath and righteous outlook on life, our whole racial life would be on its upward way.
Of Education
During the past fifteen or twenty years we have heard very little of the discussion of power of education as a factor in the equation of race problems and the race problem. The prevalent discussion and agitation take on more of a political character which concerns itself mainly with how Negro schools should be controlled, manned and managed. Behind this improvement in efficiency, but far as concerns the standardization of the former day have died away almost to shoulderder embers. Facilities have increased, faculties have grown, classrooms and appliances have been augmented, but the affair has shown no like expansion.
In the beginning, the idea was new, the appeal was compelling. Lincoln, Fisk, Howard, Atlanta, Willberforce and Shaw were names to conjure with Hears Call
The black boys heard the call and came rushing in from the cotton fields of rice swamps to meet the teachers who came down from the North were not educators, in the present day sense of that term, but they were inspirators. They brought the Bible in their right hands.
They believed in God and in the possibilities of His creatures, albeit their faculties and powers had been smothered, by suppression and ill usage. He also appointed a pupil face, heart to heart and mind to mind. They regarded themselves as elder brothers, not as superior creatures, and they were not so obnoxious. They appealed to the manhood of the Negro, and the appeal met with immediate response. As in water, face answerworth to face, so the heart of man to the heart of man:
Early Missionaries
The early missionaries had no gullor nor was there any deceit in their soul but believed in the degree into which they into the world college graduates, the sum total of whose schooling would not equal a high school certificate; but the degree into which they and the righteousness of their cause that they were enabled to do feats of service which seem marvelous in our eyes. After all, inspiration is the dynamic factor in education. The letter kethler the spirit maketh alive. Mere tech-technique and seat is shot thru concentration and seal but a vexation and vanity of spirit.
Waning Ferver
We all deplore the waning of the old time force and fervor, and would seek the means by which it might be possible to have gone with the enthusiasm and passion of the era which brought them forth. It is vain to hope for the return of the old benevolent dispensation. It may be also that the age in which zeal for human service expressed its self in that form has also depleted the resources New York is able. Can neither see nor feel as his forebears saw and felt. The issues of the times must needs be translated in the present day generation of college youth are overy whit as noble as that which went before them. But the consecration to God, country and race is neither so obvious or assertive now that there is no response to the education, appeal or so spectacular nor so spontaneous.
Self Belief
Self Belief
After the all effectiveness of education depends upon the trend of social philosophy and opinion. The influence of training is largely the outcome of what the student thinks of
If he thinks that he is a man among men, it will react upon his life accordingly, feels that he is good for nothing but he can cast out and trodden under the feet of better men, then all of the education under heaven can not ennoble his nature or effectuate his deeds because the greatest vice that can invade the soul, Self belief is the only virtue worth while. What is the value of educa- tion that does not believ- ing himself? He becomes a mere intellectual automaton.
The Negro collegian of the elder day, had self-belief. He _loved_ in an world in which this spirit was rife, and he was a man of great dedication per cent equality. Statesmen vied with each other in support of the manhood claims of the Negro. Members encouraged to seek high public station. Negroes sought seats in congress as place in the diplomatic service. The Negro was asked to prepare for any form of service which their capacities warranted. The Negro was buoyed up by this atmosphere and aspired to serve his race on the highest level of his powers.
College Courses
A college course was looked upon as having talismanic power. To go to college was like removing one's self with the talismanic vulgar with the ordinary run, the world and placing one's self in a rarefied atmosphere where the choicest spirits held high communion with one another. A college diploma was an open door to the world. But, alas, all of this has changed. The Negro has been cast down from the high seat of public favor. The tide of public feeling runs icy against him. He now hardly dares-aspire to be polished. The party which once held him in high esteem now courts his mavor only on election day. The cultural element in his education is tolerated as subsidiary to its vocational use.
Manhood Missing
Few, men now have the hardihood to advocate the higher education of the Negro without apology. The Negro must prepare for self leadership. The ignorant must be educated; the blind must be wisely guided. But this guidance, we are told, must be in harmony, with a preconceived philosophy which limits his aspiration to: *a humble and sacrificial spheres of duty*.

* There is missing that ancient appeal to the quickening energies of manhood. Self culture must come before selfworth. Selfworth must be worth while to sacrifice. A conscious sense of manhood must precede specific fields of service. The man is more than his work. Worthwhile work can only be done by worth while work.
Task Great
The task which devolves upon the shoulders of this generation of Negro youth is as great a human shoulder. It is lamentable to relate that their present day education, whether in public or private schools, is so inadequate that inspired appeal which will strengthen and nerve them for this august responsibility. The old appeal has lost its persuasiveness, and dominates over the social motive. A canvass of any of our colleges today would reveal that the vast majority of our women are willing for pursuits which offer the greatest personal returns. Service to race, country and humanity comes in as a result of the fact that lies in their precursors. Or rather it inheres in the atmosphere by which they are environed.
The stress of emphasis needs be shifted from a selfish to a social center. Whence is to come the right minded Negroes in the United States, if not from our colleges? How can the right impulse be imparted unless the atmosphere is surcharged with it? A missionary atmosphere is surcharged with it; are the vital questions which confront the higher education of the Negro to-day.
If the college is merely to prepare men for appointed jobs, boots it from the gospel differs from a brick mason mainly in motive. The one acquires skill to serve himself; the other seeks culture to serve his fellow man. True College Spirit
The true physician has a passion for justice and social duty; the right minded law and society is devoted to the cause of justice and equity; the ideal teacher displaces, ignorance with knowledge. The compensation is but incidental to the service. The right minded college spirit gives his life to his calling, and hopes that his calling will yield him a living. The places of intellectual, moral and spiritual authority among the twelve million
Woe be unto the race if they are incompetently or unworthy filled in the next generation. We are present generation of college men and women, if they fall us, God help this race of ours in the years that are yet to come.
The men and women who are in college in this year of our Lord, would be imbued with the requisite spirit of race loyalty and duty; if they could be led to a realizing sense of the great responsibility and, indeed, the great responsibility of the great of our complex problems would be on the right road to solution.
College Preachers
In the next half generation we could fill our leading pulpits with college men of culture and concession: the men medical and would be recruited with men of the scientific spirit and social impulse towards private and public health; if our college and high school faculties were filled by college men and women consumed with a sense of racial duty and responsibility; if the high places in the leadership of thought and opinion were manned by men of college and righteous outlook on life, our whole racial life would be on its upward way.
Such is the task devolving upon our higher educational agencies. God grant that they may rise to the high level of it.

The Radio Fans
A SHORT STORY
With a faint sigh of regret Jane took off the headpiece and brought her rst radio session to a close.
"I declare, it's plain as day" she incautated. "Ain't it goin' to there alone or the fire? Sure, it brings the whole world to your door. But what Tim is oint to say"I—I don't know. He always says he would mount the stairs, room, and I've just as bad." She chuckled and it back in her old rocker while she judled the radio set with great pride, there was a most exciting scene. He hadn't heard. He hadn't learned just how to move a little do-digger" as she called it, and set a flood of music in her quiet quips "that could be so easy, and a delightfully plain to her ears. 'I've been simple,' she declared out, not to have had it long enough to understand, and just a costly toy for rich folks. Even now I can't say
get hang of the workin' of the rhinoceros—just a miracle! Erica had to be careful, she shout weight the old car. If it wasn't for "im~if I knew he wouldn't act fussy about me spendin' the money for it, I couldn't care less. When he gets a notice, bless the Irish heart!" She shook her head doubtfully, then rose to her feet and went on. She had taken a seat when the radio set had arrived. As she scurried around the rim littered with June cast many a loving glance at the set on the table by the window. Her mind was busily trying to think up some plan for peaking the window. Tim when he was dueling.
"He'll be so surprised—and maybe good and cross" she admitted; "but if I body curl go on a regular, if I fifth wedding anniversary, her twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, when can she? Maybe I m crazy, but after learnin' Tee's radio talk, I wish I hadn't said quite so much about hatin' the noisy things—but that was before I knew that you could get such a line plan, "Well, its here anyway; and there's tohin' like doin' a thing and askin' your husband if you can afterwards, specially when you know it, like when you're learning many years ago! If he is cross about it, I can show him that it isn't one of those terrible 'low squawkers' that just you can hear, but the quiet little box, no trouble to any if they don't want to faint!"
She frowned thoughtfully and moved Jim's big, easy old chair closer to the window, glanced at the clock, then musted into the chair to see what he thought to think in some way to break the bad news to him before he sees the radio set, for he'll say what know the first thing he'll say will be: "What did the fool thing cost?" Jane chucked again and took a seat. "I've a wonderful dinner for him, and that will help some," she said; "I'll manage to have him eat first, so as not to spoil his appetite." Sheook her market basket and started for the door, pausing to look off across the funny yards with pleasure in the fresh.
"It's a fine day for celebratin'," she murmured, "and we've had as easy a twenty-five years as most." She smiled softly, as though she had been busy in it. "I remember well that I thought Tim was near perfect when I married him—and, look back at that he often stood from my quick emperor. I don't know what he is. Jane stopped suddenly in the dismay: "Pool ado drove everything out of my head his mornin'. I clean forgot Tim's sandy." She turned and started back up the street and again arrived to her loane Jane noticed in surprise that it wasn't quite shout. "Am I such a dune," she quesmeed. "That I leave my door unlocked." With a slight feeling in her throat, she moved to the certainly heard some one moving about in the small room off the living room. "Now, what's all this?" she uttered, and walked straight forward. Then she stopped and looked at a big brood man; Tim, no one else, and beside him stooled a dapper, businesslike young yellow, tinkering with a big box which stood before him on the table, men turned quickly as she entered.
"Tim!" exclaimed Jane in relief and surprise. "What on earth are you lont' me this time of day, and what's bat hox?"
Tim's broad face was scarlet. "Well," he said shortly. "I *spose* I will move now more than to you when you twenty-five years!" He grinned in spite of himself and pointed to the box. "It's just one of the seto sets. I can just use to enjoy Ted's and I thought maybe it would be kind if company winter nights and all—it

ain't one of those loud squawkin' kind; this is just a fine little one. No trouble at all and you don't have to listen if you aren't been set against one, and I 'spouse I will never hear the last about the expense of it; but a fellow has a right to be when he's celebratin' his twenty-fifth weddin' anniversary, ain't he? Tim broke off and stared in wonder at his wife. She had dropped into a chair and was rocking with laughter, "Well," said Tim at last, "will you tell me what so funny?" When Jane could speak she got up, wiped the tears from her eyes. She sat down Tim by the arm. She ted him to the other room, up to the table by the window, where she silently pointed to the radio set. At the look on Tim's face she sat down and off again into delighted chuckles. "Sure, Tim darth," she began, when she could speak, "your idea was fine, we see such a pair of old geses as we are? Both of us wanting it—and both ashamed to say so. "Tim's great laugh filled the room. "And you sayin you hated the things——"
"And what did ouy say about them bein'a pest?" Inquired Jane, with spirit. Then she added, with a toss of her hand, "I know what an knows when to change her mind—" And you've had years of practice at it," retorted Tim, still laughing. "Well, at least, we didn't either of us finally said Jane, with a sigh of relief, "but, now, what will we do with two sets?" Right here the young salesman saw his opportunity, and came to the store. "What you folks want here," he began briskly, "is a good amplifier—not a loud-squawker, he hastened, "but a good so that you can enjoy together, can change the way you sets for just the right time, for your phones, or anything like that—" "All right," said Tim, with a large gesture, putting one big arm about Jane arm, smiling broadly at her rosy cheeks. "What's the expense?" He added, "We been list'nin in together for over twenty-five years, ain't we mother? We might as well have our show together. How soon can you connect to the radio?" The Juggin, family had joined the radio fans.

(Whenever baby is ill, be sure to promptly on the doctor for advice. Neglect of proper medical care is dangerous and is responsible for the death of the child. Avoid babies diarrhoea due to incorrect feeding or to contaminated food. Stop all food for 12 hours. Begin again to feed with diluted milk, no solid food for service.
Give baby all he wants of cool boiled water. If you are far away from a doctor or a nurse, give baby a teaspoonful of fresh castor oil. Do not give him patent medicines or mixtures advised by neighbors.
Dogs will kill and for doctor, dogs will kill the animal, but pen and observe it for symptoms of rabies. Extract poison from wound, applying warm, water to the wound and mud. The wound must be catered with strong nitric acid or hot iron. Telegraph to the State Board of Health at the direction of treatment.

Why Pretty?
That a woman is as young as she looks is true—but not always as young as she thinks she looks.
There is as much sense in wishing to be seventeen at middle age, and later, as there is in those who try to be a baby at seventeen.
If she cuts off ten years of her age, and let it go at that. This is lkg the most one can expect from, shingling, dyeing, powdering, rouging, and general dressing, accompanied with proper dressing.
More in the way of age reduction becomes ridiculous; in fact it only serves to call attention to the actual years one has passed, thus making it easier to remember. Remember always, the fitness of things and that it is hard to escape silliness with the ambition to appear of the earlier generation. Frequently made is, neglecting to care for the imprints of time, when we are at the turning point between youth and middle life. The inevitable marks of neglect, dissipation, improper eating, lack of proper nutrition, poor health, nature; will-reclaim the debt you owe: so flaming, radiant thoughtless youth, remember you must pay.

What A White Man Thinks Of Intermarriage
By the Editor Holdeman-Julius Weekly, Gird, Kansas
From Maurice Robinson, Paris, Texas
correspondent
Do you mean to say that you, a refined, cultured woman, advocate the coming of whites and Negroes' their association together in clubs their association together socially, their association together dancing together. You would look with favor upon your dancing with a Negro, or your daughter she grows up with a Negro, or your grocer call on her or going driving with them? Yes, Mr. Robinson, I certainly do advocate the co-mingling, especially do I advocate it in schools and colleges. It is indeed only by consistent co-mingling that races, fundamentally different, can hope to come eventually to a thorough understanding each other. And where, I ask you, is such an effort at understanding more properly or more wholly in place than at a university, the more you understand the further the contacts and deepen the comprehension of its students?
But I would not seem to quibble. I believe there should be as free a comingling of white and darker races throughout this, their common country, as of white people. I am very glad to state categorically, once and for all, that just as surely as I believe—not very militantly it is true but none the less so historically and socially and social equality between the white citizens and the darker citizens of the United States. I am entirely opposed to the segregation of races. Such segregation can and does only make for misapprehensions and misunderstandings with all the attendant evils that follow from such segregation, such child, white or dark, should have equal opportunities. I think white and colored people should enjoy precisely the same consideration and advantages at school, in travel, in restaurants in the剧院, in stores, in libraries, in playgrounds, in laboratories, in hospitals and anywhere else you can think of that I have chanced to omit.
You see, what so many people forget—or often honestly do not realize—is that there are all kinds of Negroes grown up and grown up and groomed, sensitive and course, high minded and bestial. In both white and Negro races there are women and women of wide vision. But, unfortunately, the moment the word Negro is mentioned many things in the past, the gifted race or even of its many

earnest and estimable mediocre expon-
shiftless type of Negro, or if not of
the very lowest type, then of the type
of minstrel shows have
exfoliated.
Dancing
Of course, you don't wish to eat with that type, nor do I. Of course I don't wish that sort of man (black) with a face like mine. (My older one, Josephine, is sixteen, very charming, and very popular indeed with her contemporaries. Youths buzz about her like proverbal beads about a football player. If you were Josephine, or later, Alice were to attend Ann Arbor and the inter-clairn club there should give a banquet or a dance (and we don't know if they are imagined). I am sure either of my daughters could both dine and dance with as much grace and dignity and as little self-consciousness with any of the self-worthy members as with any of its well members.
In School
My children always have gone to school with colored children, and accept them as simply as they do their white classmates. I have always taught boys and colored boys and girls—eat together, as a matter of course, in all an informal semicircle in one room under the supermarket. I have not lately no race consciousness among the children. There never is any natural spontaneous race antipathy between children. They acquire it only when they are prejudiced. It then by prejudiced olders. Then often the lesson is only too thoroughly absorbed. And, of course, intensified, with all the force of tradition behind it, it is passed on to the next gen-
Lunchcon
But do you think these same children who have just finished lunch side by side could go to any of our ice cream parlors and get a soda or a sandwich for lunch, or they could take the sensibilities of the adult whito people. Really, it is laughable—the utter illogic of it. Or rather it would be if the ultimate result were not so grim and often tragic. With the same token I know white mothers who are perfectly willing to have colored nursemaids to help them care for their children during the latter's most tender and impressionable moments, so to the idea of colored teachers in the public schools.
Childhood
According to them it is quite all right for a child of four or five to be taught and frequently rather undesirable type of colored girl, but quiet horrifying for an older child to be careful with her appearance, and well-educated, finer type of Negro, it fail to see either the good sense or logic of such an attitude. Even more important is the need to unbuffer colored mads in a household, but resent the idea of colored sten-
Baltimore, Md. ON ed nurses.
Personally, I do not dump people into classes. I consider each individual separately. And so, I am glad to observe, do my three children. For example, my daughter and gone to school with various Negro children, she has formed a real friendship with only one of them. They are all allowed to be included in these columns. Continued on Galley Three. A very genuine friendship it is, too, and I am sure they are unease and mutual development from it. Every now and then Alice asks to have her to lunch or dinner, and she comes. She is quite as dainty and well manned as she is, and sheself, and Alice, let me say, is very well mannered indeed. She doesn't like Jneuetta because she is colored than some people she has from Negroes. Nor does Jneuetta like Alice because she is white. They are both dear, likable and enjoy each other and they have many interests and tastes in common.
And that, Mr. Robinson, is exactly the attitude, it seems to me, grown white and grown colored people should and would have toward one another if they co-mingled freely. The more to be able to be any happier in the society of intellectual white folk than medicine white people will be in the society of intellectual Negroes. (I wonder if you realize how often an article about black which appeals to you in one of the best magazines is written by a Negro?)
It is so obvious a plattitude that I quite blush to present it—but surely there is no denying that like draws me to travel in a first-class restaurant, go to a first-class theater, prefer to travel in a Pullman, is scarcely going to be less manned or less correctly dressed and generally accepted than the same type of white person.
Advancement
Now don't misunderstand me. There is no denying that Negro race (as a whole) is, in this country at least, not as advanced as the white race as a whole. (Any more than women as a whole are as advanced as men. So it seems me the chief mistake of the Negro lies in his mistaken efforts to imitate his white brothers and sisters. Each race has to offer to offer to own the error of copying the other. Each race has mucu to teach, much to learn.
A house-to-house canvasser was met at the door by a woman of countenance.
"Is the boss in?" asked the canvasser timidly. "Yes" she snapped. "I'm him!"
"Do you think that beggar is real, blind? Why, when I gave him a dime, he said, 'Thank you, pretty lady.'"

Love Knoweth No Fear

"I'll tell your mother" is a threat used by the oldest daughter to hen brothers and sisters or by one girl to another. "I'll report to your mother," is a stern way in which teachers voice the same idea. Only the one she lives a group of children playing quite harmoniously together. Their play was certainly innocent enough, with just that spice of mischief in it which makes our children laugh. "One girl exclaimed, 'Oh my brother has seen me. I'll have to or he'll tell my mother.'"
"Would she be cross?" asked another girl.
The first speaker made a wry face; that was sufficient answer. "Would your mother mind?" asked one of the group turning towards

"Oh, no," was the quick answer. "My mother would call it fun!" I knew at once that this girl had it in the smile which lit up her face as she mentioned that mother. Why should our children fear us? If we are real chums with them, it would be children frightened because they tore their clothes getting blackberries! What would their mothers say when they reached home? those children would sensible women, especially if they had ever picked blackberries themselves, they would merely have mended the rents! If they had children were going, sensible women would have started them out in old overalls. No mother with a grain of sense will scold children for what they cannot help children to be going. It is so absurd to make a child afraid, just because she has torn her dress!

Committee Winds Up Activities With Luncheon Monday
With a summary which disclosed the fact that they had put over a successful health week, the committee closed its work with a luncheon Monday evening at the Sharp Street Community House.
Beginning with the broadcasting of the health talk on Easter Sunday, the committee with the working the second annual marathon, on Saturday, the local committee made good on their promise to have each event just a little larger and better than the times of the preceding years. Three times as many entries were received this year for the marathon as was the case in 1925. The details of Carroll's victory in this event will be found on the sport
138 In Baby Contest
In the baby contest, 138 young horcullus, as compared to 43 last year, were measured on all sections of town brought their young ones to compete for the valuable prizes that are offered to the physicians were on hand to give the examinations and the babies were rated on the cards provided for the purpose of the contest. The cards were submitted to a board of judges consisting of Drs. H. S. McCard, W. F. Noville, and T. J. Woolridge, the examinees of the examining physicians at the contest itself and it is hoped thus to have the prizes allotted in the fairest possible way. The moment of the winners will be made from the stage of the Regent Theatre at the evening performance on Friday, April 10, to have all of the mothers who had babies entered in the contest as guests of the theatre on that day. The Health Week Committee will announce the findings of the judges.
The team prizes the team that is awarded at this time from the stage. The winning team consists of John Carroll, Robbie Bentley, and the Grace Boys' Club. The Regent theatre cup will be presented to a representative of the organization to help them win.
Berry Re-elected
The report dinner of the Health Week group was held on Monday evening at the Community House John L. Berry, special representative of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, the 1926 chairman was unanimously re-elected to head the 1927 committee. A new plan of organization presented by Mr. Berry was adopted. This plan calls for a chairman and ten vice-chairman in charge of various features of the work of the committee. Tentative selections for these offices were also made at the meeting.
341 Homes Visited
Reports were heard from each of the committees at the council and the clean up committee reported a total of 341 house-to-house visits made in two of the sections to 46 residents of these neighborhoods. The street cleaning department cooperated with in making the victimien hikers
644 In Industries
"There were 644 reached directly in the industrial plants." R. Maurice Moss reported. "Some of them worked in on company time to talk to their employees and every one of them asked us to come and have a health week to come again. In one plant Dr. Dorothy Boulding, spoke to 150 women. Many of the plants had both colored workers to hear the talk.
Mr. Moss also reported that 75 boys had taken advantage of "Splash Week" in the school. They were open free of charge to school boys. Local news-papers were generous in the use of their Space for the events of the week. At least 100 boys were than 300 jiles of space to the celebration. Two of the articles were in the form of editorials. Two thousand posters were distributed and every troleyown carried a health week message.

tivities from various schools were
called for.
Art Exhibit Up
Following reports from the schools Mrs. Wheatley then called upon Mrs. Surah D. Mason and Mrs. Exhibit, Mrs. Mason stated that in view of the fact that there was not present a constitution, Mrs. Mason was unable to make her report. Considerable discussion followed, much of it of a highly explosive nature, but Mrs. Mason had no determination to withhold the report.
Nominates Slate
At 10:30 when sufficient delegates had sifted in to make the number exactly 25, the chairman called for the report of the committee to comprise S. De Coursey, John Jones and Mrs. Lovey Hustek. The following were recommended in the report: Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley, president; Mrs. J. Wright, second vice president; Miss Edna Hall, correspondent secretary; J. E. Grandson, recording secretary; Mrs. Mattle B. Warsomia, treasurer and Brown, Mrs. Lucy and Adly. Emma Jackson-members-at-large. The report of the committee was the signal for a storm of protests from some of the delegates who charged that steamer roller methods were unsafe and that the president to put over the slate. It was also charged that the meeting had been called at an unaccessible place and that many delegates could not comply with the req. The allegations were sturiously denied by Mrs. Wheatley.
Mrs. Lottler Nominated
It was during this part of the session that Mrs. Sarah B. Mason put in nomination the name of Mrs. Wheatley, the Opinion Chair. Mrs. Wheatley, it was said, would be crystallized in an effort to elect another president at the coming meeting. This session, which seems persistent, began some time ago when members of the federation accused Mrs. Wheatley of attempted graft and other charges on handling the art work of Miss Augusta Savage. Letters published at that time showed that the commission was a 20 per cent commission but later dealted when the matter came to public attention. Following this the executive commission asked the accusations asked to resign. This she refused to do. Delegates say that this controversy has thrown the federation over the肩 that the deposition of Mrs. Wheatley is the only way out.
Well Oiled Machine
One of the charges made at the meeting was that Mrs. Wheatley, the nominating committee, was a packed one. Of the 25 delegates present, however, 22 voted for the report of the committee.
Two Resign
The effect of the refusal of Mrs. Wheatley to resign is said to be the cause of the resignation of Mrs. Julia A. Carr, recording secretary, of the university, whose resignations were formally accepted Tuesday evening. Following the adoption of the report of the nominating committee, Mrs. Carr was again asked to render her report, but was stopped on a point of order when she insisted on prefacing it with a statement touching alleged financial irregularities. The meeting ended without hearing the report.

NEW ORLEANS, IA. (ANP)—The proposal of Col. Wade H. Cooper, of Washington, D. C., to place a statue of Abraham Lincoln in the schoolhouse, would slight encouragement from the sciences of the old southern aristocracy. It was here that Lincoln as a boy witnessed on the auction block the purchase of a roasted his whole nature against the institution of slavery.
EUBIE BLAKE BACK FROM FOREIGN TOUR
Sissle And Blake Scored Hit In London And Ireland With Act
Bread Lines, Poverty, Poor Housing, Queer English Baffle Americans
Eubie Blake member of the team of Blake and Sissie which has just finished an eight months tour of Great Britain visited his mother, Mrs John S. Blake of Rutland avenue, on last Friday.
Eubie, as the pianist, is known to his friends was a well and showed few effects from his ocean voyage. He landed in New York from the French theater in La Salle Wednesday night.
PETER B.
The team opened at the Piccadilly in London soon after land-
The most important place in the British capital. Out of many acts that were offered the patrons of the latter. Blake and Sissie received the most votes and were engaged. Followed dates at the Victoria Palace, and at the Alhambra and Coliseum music halls. The Englishmen were particularly, enthusiastically in their reception of "Pickinnmy Shoes" and "Why" both numbers composed by the team.
"My playing of Jazz," said Euble, "seemed particularly astounding to the English musicians. They tried to classify it according to musical form, but failed. Yet when each measure would come out even as the schoolboy says of his sums, they were further nonplussed. However, our audiences in the clubs and theatres fell a victim to syncopation as my partner and I played and sang it, and we were called upon to play many repeat dates.
Wrote Three Hits
One outcome of our appearances was an order from Charles B. Cochran, the Ziegler and the Stilwell for his musical "Still Dancing." We wrote "Lady of the Moon" which was placed in the production, but suffered because the soloist was not a member of the number. Subsequently, however, we wrote "Tahiti!" a South Sea Island number and "which clicked" as the English say, both soon became the rage of London. Out of five numbers that the act wrote three became monumental hits and "which clicked" as the English say, Laxton and Johnson. Blake says that next to Scott and Whaley, Laxton and Johnson are the biggest Carpenter and Lottie Gee are also unusually popular. Lottie Gee is appearing in the music halls, (establishments, but not theaters) but will return home soon he understands. After London the act opened in Manchester, England and then went to Belfast and Dublin, Ireland, repeating their concert
Poverty Appalling
"In Europe, said the artist," a man or woman is either rich or poor. Poor boys don't grow to be rich men over all, but rich men over all. The cloakless consigns he to the estate in which he was born until death. There is a caste system as strong as there is in India. My advice to all American Negroes is to stay away from Europe. Particularly is this so if you are poor. No matter what happens or what the conditions may be in American, the most desirable conditions that exist in London. I have seen thousands sleeping in the streets, bread lines with human beings standing four abreast and clothed in distress that I hate to remember." English Customs The English customs of all tariff turning and keeping to the right, the absence of the tariff, English as it is spoken in Great Britain all seemed to puzzle and be distasteful to Blake. The treatment of the team was spoken of. however, as being courteous and entirely gratifying in a financial
Returning on the Paris the act was requested to participate in the theatrical actress, Amelia Bingham was a pas, senger, and participant in the concert, which was managed by Winchall Smith the distinguished playwright and producer who also acted as master of ceremonies.
Buble Baltimore Boy
The planis began at the famous Goldfield Hotel conducted in this city by the late Joe Gans. His first vaudeville engagement was in the Goldfield avenue. Several years ago he and Sissle collaborated with Miller and Lyles on "Shuffle Along." and later with Lew Cohen, the writer of The Chocolate Dandles.
At the close of the latter, the team was tendered an engagement to perform at the picture theatres, and only interrupted the tour to fill the European engagement. The team will shortly complete their tour of the picture

"It Was Splendid" Says Eugene Gordon, Whose Annual Surveys Of Negro Newspapers Have Attracted Wide Attention
Considerable interest in the recent edition of the AFRO-AMERICAN edited by the Douglass High School evening class in journalism is shown by comment made by men and women in various sections of the country.
The class is to be congratulated, said Mr. Eugene Gordon of the Boston Post. That the effort will do much to show not only the trained workers in the newspaper field, but the opportunities open, was also commented upon.

"The issue of March 27th represents an edition creditable and praiseworthy and I beg to - send through our office and I beg to - through our Belfish School evening class, an expression of my warmest congratulations. It would be difficult to point out any difference between this particular edition of the AFRO-AMERICAN Journal and the regular edition of the publication."
Mr. Ernest T. Atwell, National director of Colored Playgrounds, says:
"The members of the class are to be recommended on the success of their efforts as 'practical' journalists. The AFRO-AMERICAN has further justified its position as among the forward looking leaders of Negro journalism. The Executive Secretary, National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, says:
"The AFRO-AMERICAN of March 27th edition be by the Dougiss Classism, has been carefully gone over by me. The issue please me very much. The makeup, the selection of real news items shows that the members of the class in journalism High School have had good training."
Mr. Eugene Kinchele Jones, Executive Director, Urban Education, New York, says, "I think the AFRO-AMERICAN has rendered fine service in conduct of the Evening High School. The AFRO-AMERICAN is a good newspaper, and it has not suffered by the ex-convict in the issue of March 27th."

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND
April 18th to 24th, 1926
WHEREAS, The President of the United States has proclaimed the week from April 15th to 24th, 1926, us as the most desirable to emphasize the importance of this week to the people of Maryland.
Maryland has 2,228,000 acres of wood and timber growth is 50,000,000 cubic feet, but the annual cut is 80,000,000 cubic feet, or nearly 50 per cent, greater than the annual growth, and the annual consumption of wood and timber is 200,000,000 cubic feet one-half times the yearly growth.
These facts emphasize the necessity of conserving and developing our woodlands and using them upon sources for four-ninths of the lumber used, and our annual freight bill on imported woodlands of the States.
The woodlands of the States are sufficient, if properly conserved and managed, to produce all the wood and timber we now use.
We have 350,000 acres of waste
NOW, THEREFORE, I ALBERTO C. RITCHIE, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF RIVERIDA in the State of Maryland, with the Proclamation of the President of the United States, do designate the week from April 28th to May 1st Forest Week in the State of Maryland, and I urge all public officials, civic associations, the schools of the State and all parties to work for the task of forest conservation and renewal.

World's Middleweight Champion
I'm so happy I could bust. the
bags. I can do this here boy Theodore. How does it feel to be boss of the middleweights?
I'm so happy, my good man, I can't seem to realize that I'm champion at laxity. Boy, I'm a champion now and there isn't nobody going to bent Mister
A.
Did you see the way I tanged up Mister Gheb in those shoes, how I made him go back on his heels with hard left toes in more, and short ribs. But that there Mister Gheb he kept coming in more. Lord, man that Mr. Gheb he didn't human. During all that, he kept repeating the 14th Faith in the Bible, which reads "I am right." "Blessed be the Lord my strengeness to fight
gth, which teaches my fingers to fight and feet to walk."
I quoted some more Scripture and then I knew I was going to be the champion. The good Lord telme me and care for me, sixth round that the judge made.
Church Vs. Cabaret
Mister Greb, he couldn't hurt me. When he found out that the few punches he got in 'n' them pinned him back to back he woke back to his old tricks—builing me and cussing me like no one else can cuss. (But don't say anything about the prayer.) Every time Mister Greb quoted passages from his Cabaret Book I would come right back at him with verses from the prayer. But there ternth round my good manager, Mister Walk Miller, says to me: "Now, here, the Tiger, you take it easy; the championship is but they can't take it away from you.
There were five more rounds to go. I knew Mister Grob would make a flying finish. So I decides to beat him at his own game.
Believe me, I kept mumbling to myself, "Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teaches my fingers to fight and my feet to walk," as Mister Grob let loose a flock of flying fists.
Now we'll go back to the very first round. We start off like two wildcats. I look into Mister Grob's eyes and they look glossy. I say to myself, "Tiger, go in there and knock him out." You'll remember how I made him miss and how I hit him any and everywhere in the first two minutes. Then Mister Grob opens an old cut over my right eye. It didn't pain, but it bothered me.
My style, I figured, was going to bother Mister Grob. He doesn't know how to fight southpaws. So I crash in my left to the body and ribs, and I could see from Mister Grob's looks that he didn't like it, now.
Big Lead After Fifth
Boy, I'm out there winging in front by a whole passel after the fifth. I'm praying the good Lord that I win and I'm going to be coming to my chair and putting the crown jewels on this here humble head of mine. We're fighting like madmen in the midst of the seventh. Mister Greb lets飞 everything he's got. Then he sticks his thumb no my left eye when the referee isn't looking. Mister Greb likes advantage of everything. He's going to see fern fighting mad. I like to see em mad.
Mister Greb ain't hurt me, a bit. In the eighth he starts to call me ville names. I ain't got the heart to laugh
10 YEAR PEN TERM FOR
LAD WHO STOLE AUTO
18 Year Old Boy Arrested In Philadelphia With Hudson Coach Belonging To Annapolis Doctor
RAN AWAY FROM HOME IN NORTH CAROLINA
Tells Judge He Tired Of Work At Sparrows Point So He Took Car To Travel
Lawrence was arrested in Philadelphia, Pa., 48 hours after he had taken the Hudson Coach belonging to Dr. Martin, of Annapolis from where it had been parked at Pier four on Light street. The boy told the judge that he was a native of North Carolina. He ran away from home and worked his way to this city. He tired of working, he deceived and took the auto to continue his journey to Philadelphia. He was arrested on his arrival in that city when the license number was recognized. Due to the alarming increase in automobile thefts, the maximum sentence is given when the culprits are convicted.
ow 144th Psalm
n Championship
because I feel sorry for him, but I remember the 144th Psalm and one time while I was repeating "Blessed be the Lord my strength," and "and feet to walk." I could notice Mister Greb listen in. Mister Greb, he so wild, he could chew me alive. He sees what he is cringing at him. But he ain't thought fighting. In the clinches he's telling me some things which make people laugh in the jazz playlist. He thinks I must spoil him. I think of the nice things I hear in the church. The tenth is on. Mister Miller tells me, "take it easy. But if you go along with the party, may spoil my little party. Every time he misses by an open gate I shoot in the left to the body, uppercutting him in close, and I could see from Mister Greb's side. I reded. Greb Becomes Voluble me where I should be and where my folks should be sent to, and he cusses and fumes. But I pay no attention to him. I left to the short ribs.
We're into the eleventh. The crowd is hooting Mister Greb because he's fighting you, but that didn't bother me. I could see the good Lord hanging a swell outfit on me as the champion and I'm beginning to feel happy and I can see the baby girl will say when they hear the glad tidings.
Thirteenth? That ain't an unlucky number. It was a lucky round for me, and I see the face, grazing the chin. I seeears for one second. As I comes out of my dream my lips are saying, "Blessed be the day that my fingers to fight and to walk." And, would you believe it. I comes back and beats him easy! Mister Greb rushes at me when the boy that boy isn't human! He tears in and I'm in the middle of a shower of blows. I ducks, ducks and then ducks some more and I ain't hit once, all the time! I seeears here. Theodore, I sure thank him.
I could hear the people down front saying, "You can't lose." I could see the sweat coming down Mister Miller's face but that boy will say for the new champion, he says.
"Blessed be the Lord —" I starts to say again when Mister Greb bounces on me, and I get on the building fell down on me. He gets on my bicycle and race around him, and before he can hit me again I have broken up his last attack and Lady Luck is page her boy Theodore, and I get to the front waiting for the decision, I couldn't repeat the 14th Psalm for the last time.
**Bible Beats Grab**
I tell you the Bible is a wonderful thing that I saw in the thick of fighting, "Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teaches my fingers to fight and feet to walk," beat Mister Greb more than my fists. Twice a week I ran eighteen miles on the roads to strengthen my wind. Then I took long walks, ate food that would do me the most good, and on a schedule mapped out by Mister Miller. He sure knew his business.
It was not until last Sunday that Mister Miller decided to start on me Tuesday 15 1/4, Wednesday 16 1/4, Tuesday 15 1/4, and the day of the fight at 2 o'clock, when I was put on the scales by Mister Commissioner Muldoon, who was in charge of the fight. I knew I was going to beat Mister Greb, because I licked him once before. My wife, Willie Mae Flowers surely knew that I was going to be there. There are not many wives who encouraged their husbands to become fighters like Willie Mae begged me to. She was very strong. Billy Hooper beat me up, and when I went home she don't know whether I'm a burglar or her dear Theodore. Billy Hooper knocks me down and beats me she says:—"Now see here Theodore, you go right back and knock the

DOUBT FULLEST USE OF NEGRO OPPORTUNITIES
Dr. Charles Wesley Of Howard Is Speaker Before A. M. E. Pastors
BISHOP JOHN HURST
HOME FROM FLORIDA
Comparing the progress of the Negro before freedom and afterward, Dr. Charles Wesley, professor of history at Howard University, told the A.M.E. Friend that the doubt whether the colored race had made the fullest use of its opportunities.
Dr. Wesley cited the progress of Negroes in many large cities before emancipation, showing that the race had accumulated millions of dollars worth of property and thousands of cattle. He emphasized the industry of the south and furnished scores of outstanding men in religious and public life.
The work of these men, declared Dr. Wesley, is a challenge to the Negro, who must make even progress, material and spiritual, than we have made.
The next step in race progress, he declared, is the merger of a number of small business enterprises into big business. Nearly all of these businesses have necessities of food, clothing and shelter, is in the hands of the other race, he declared. By merger and cooperation, the Negro can begin, in some measure, to effect economic independence. Necessity of the merger of churches and a greater fraternity among the demonstrations were also stressed. We believe that we shall trust in business to solve all our problems. We must trust in God, pray if all depended upon Him, work as if it all depended upon us." Dr. George F. Bragg deprecated the modern emphasis of business to solve every day problems. It is the business of the church, not of the state. With that all other kinds of success, material and spiritual, will follow.
Bishop John Hurst just returned from a winter in Florida, declared the work under his direction there is prospering along all lines. Florida conferences. He said, have undertaken to build a $100,000 administration hall for Edward Waters College to indicate to the white people of the State what kind of a building Negro education requires.
"There isn't a finer building for public education in the state," Bishop Hurst said, "and the 55,000 African Methodists are paying for it out of their own funds."
No Pulpit Seat
Bishop Hurst said to take a seat on the platform prior to being called on to speak. He said he preferred to sit in the audience and didn't subscribe to the usual view that ministers not presiding at church functions should always be called upon to have a seat in the pulpit.
He denominates have a rule that the presiding officer only is to have a seat there while other visitors and other participants sit in the audience with their families.
The future of the Negro is safe, Bishop Hurst declared. Industry in many parts of the South is still in the hands of colored workers. "I have seen construction work in the South where Negroes were doing the work us masons and we were doing the carpentry. I would like to see the day when all of us would be on top for a time at least; that we would all be doing the skilled work and the other fellow the unskilled work. "I knew the time in the ministry when the preacher who made the biggest noise was the best pulpit orator; when he wasn't considered preaching unless he put his hand behind his ear and yelled his lungs out. "That day is past and that preacher is considered best when in a quiet way he brings the message most helpful to his congregation.
"I have seen some presiding elders who claimed that their assessments were too great; too great burdens were imposed upon them. They talk about the work they be required to pay the assessments. They are not. They are only asked to organize the people and raise the money to carry out the church work. If they cannot do it they must get to the way and give way to others who will work.
"The race is too young to have its leaders in the swivel chair, smoking cigars while others are at work. Our leaders and our pastors must be able to work with the shirt sleeves work long hours like those in the ranks."

Sunday, April 18th: THE BEGINNING OF SIN: Genesis 5:1-24.
Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, You, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the garden, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know, that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened; and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman says that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked; and they sawed fig leaves together and heeded themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden and saw that because I was a man, I did myself.
And the man said, The woman whom
thou gavest to be with me, she gave me
of the tree and I did eat.

WEEKLY SERMON
"To Be Carnally Minded Is Death" Roman 8-6.
Carnally minded is to be dominated by a mind centered on the things of this present world. He who is thus dominated is already dead. He is a living corpse. Science thus aggrandizes Christianity. To separate spirit from environment means death. Man cannot live apart from his environment. But, in the nature of affairs, there must come a time when there is a break-down in some part of the organism of life or a failure in adjustment to its environment.
This we call natural death. The man ceases his human existence. If however, the departed soul, in addition to his natural correspondence to his environment, sustained Communion with God, the fact of his death himself, bridges the grave and continues his existence, and his evolution in character, God alone is the environment of the soul, and this environment is everlasting.
The man who is carnally minded is dead to God. He has no spiritual communion. One little word accounts for the difference. It is the word "fath." Says Jesus: "Whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die." In one case the man refuses to "believe" and abides in the other the man refuses to "believe" and Communion between God and his soul. Thus such Communion has been actually established appears in the fruits of the spirit read and observed in his daily life. Where there are no fruits no Communion has been established.
The soul is endowed with Eternal Life because in the soul of the spiritually minded man is Christ Himself who "is the Resurrection and the Life." The correspondences of the carnally minded man are temporary and the spiritually minded man is Everlasting, and continue throughout eternity.
The sermon this week was supplied by the Rev. George F. Brugg, Jr., Rector St. James Episcopal Church.

A. remarkable parallel between race relations and industry is shown in the Interracial Blue Book of the Memphis and Shelby County (Teun.) Interracial League of which the T. O. Fuller is general chairman. The feature of this report is the interest taken by the Memphis Chamber of Commerce in race relations and civic projects in race group, by making more climate friendly takes by cities throughout the country.
Direct Contact
According to this report a direct contact between Negro industry and the Chamber of Commerce has been established by including actual Negro membership and the formation of a regular men as an integral part of the business body which promotes the industrial development of that section.
To make this contact practical, the Chamber of Commerce and the Community Fund finance a headquarters and personnel budget which the various agencies having to withhold from county's welfare coordinate their work.
Some idea of how seriously the business men of the city has taken the relation of the races is shown by the fact that there is a direct contact between the Board of Education, The Park Board at city commissions which makes it possible for the group to have a direct link in public matters.
Some Results Shown
As some of the recent accomplishments of the League the Blue Book gives the following:
The addition of $100,000 to the city's appropriation already made for a colored high school.
The placing into the city's budget of $10,000 for a detention home for juvenile offenders taken to the juvenile court. This gives Memphis what a number of larger cities have failed to provide, a home for children who have committed heresy may be handled until tried offenses may be handled until tried juvenile court. In many cities they are locked up in the city police stations until taken to court.
There were 28 class rooms added to the school facilities for colored children, according to the report.
Four supervised year round playgrounds have been put into operation under competent supervisors with 12 vacation playgrounds to be added.
Have eliminated objectionable terms such as "durky" nigger etc., for the in the daily press.
For some time Memphis had a woman in the police department with police power to look after the public welfare of women and girls. Industry
Although with emphasis is laid on the general humanistic phases of the Memphis League, a study of the whole development shows that industry is the key to the situation.
There are about 65,000 colored population which is about one third of the whole. They form the basis of the labor of many of the city's big plants. It was not an accident that although there was a damaging exodus from the surrounding territory, the colored population thereby increased, the total organization by leaders have impressed the employers that labor must receive some consideration and the Chamber of Commerce has been the outstanding force bringing about action with the city's government commissions and the race.
Among some of the men and women associated with Dr. Fuller are: H. C. Daniels, the Rev. A. L. DeMond, H. C. Shepherd, the Rev. S. A. Owens, Miss Bessie Siman, W. A. Locke, Dr. A. D. Bess, T. W. Hayes, T. J. Johnson, Mrs. T. S. Brown, John H. Eland, Atty. B. F. Booth and Atty. Wm. H. Foote.

BOUSEFIELD HEAD OF LIBERTY LIFE INSURANCE CO.
CHICAGO, ILL. (ANP)—That the Liberty Life Insurance Company, with headquarters in Chicago, is making rapid progress, was brought out at the recent meeting of the stockholders and directors of the company at which time Dr. M. O. Bousfield was elected president. The report of the auditor showed that the company had $175,000, which it is claimed represents the largest paid capital of an organization, the company in world, and that the company has admitted assets of $495,250.10 and more than $8,000,000 worth of insurance in force.
The company was formed by the late Frank L. Gillespie, who served as president until his death last year, and Dr. Bousefield was elevated from first vice president to the presidency to fill the unexpired term of the departed president. Dr. Bousefield was who was a successor of the "Gillespie method" the company has made rapid but sound growth, sowing an increase in assets of more than a $100,000 and a like increase in net reserve; and advance of more than two million dollars in insurance in force. This record of the company's growth insured Dr. Bousefield's election.
Other changes in the company's directors and officers were as follows: David Manson, who was elected first vice President; T. C. Birmingham, was elevated from the Board of Directors to a vice president, and E. H. Carry was elected a member of the board of directors.

had been fast friends for many
years and were boarders at 1138
Low street. Both got drunk
Sunday and by accident one put on
the other's trousers.
When police arrived they rushed
Ricks to the hospital where he was
treated for a battered head as the
result of Wilkins' blackjack. Wil-
kins was already at the hospital
when he put head
"Your honor," said Wilkins at
the hearing in the Northeastern
station Monday, "Ricks is my friend
and I don't want to prosecute
him."
"No sir, Judge," chimed Ricks,
"Wilkins is my buddle and I forgive
him for hurting me."
"That is all very well," said the
Magistrate, "so have made up

One man with sheikh ideas cause more trouble between women than a wild bull in a china closet. This was proven in the case of Miss Susie Stewart who had Miss Annie Valentine. 522 St. Mary's street, summoned to the Northwestern police station. It seems there was a man and the man owned an automobile and until recently Miss Valentine was the recognized occupant of the front seat. Miss Stewart gained favor with the driver of the upholstered chariot and before the other young woman realized what it was all about the police officer he joyful had been reduced to a minimum. Of course trouble started then. On one occasion they came near fighting in church. On another one forced the other to get out of the auto but the cliuzix came when they met down town last week and it was only a moment before they came at a department store. Miss Stewart then brought her troubles to the Magistrate. His honor dismissed the case with a warning to both.

"I went to 937 Shilads Alley and Emma Waters here yelled for me to come in and arrest her brother to reach the house and was heating her." "What happened after you went in?" asked the Magistrate. "Well, your honor, before I could reach the door she must have thought better of it because she hustled her brother out the back way and refused to tell me where he was." "Your honor." he continued, "the boy had broken out the windows and had cut Emma's head but when I went to follow him she attempted to break him so I just brought her in instead." "Well, Emma, you saved your brother, now see if he will save you and pay the $5 fine I am going to impose."

Tears fall when thou wert dying,

Only those who have lost can tell;
Of the brief that is born in silence
For the one I loved so well.

Sweet is the memory that never shall
Flowers may wither, fade and die.
Others may forget you, but never will L.

With floral designs banked about the bier and more than 2000 people present to bow in last tribute, Miss Marie Edyth Cooper, late acting principal of the training school, and one of the best known teachers in Baltimore, was laid to rest after an impressive funeral service at Metropolitan M.E. church Sunday after-
noon.
Beginning with soft strains of "How Firm A. Foundation" sung by the choir, and invocation by the Rev. W. A. English, a program full of fine eulogies was carried out.
The Rev. E. S. Williams read the obituary and the sermon was preached by the Rev. R. F. Contes. Other speakers included W. L. Flowers, assistant superintendent of Public Schools; Francis M. Wood, supervisor; John Wood. Woodhouse; J. O. Spencer of Morgan College; Prof. George Owens, Miss Mary Brown, the Revs. C. Y. Triggs, N. M. Carroll and L. B. Miller.
Special music was furnished by a quartette comprising Misses Jackson, Lawrence, Matthews and Smith and the Training School rendered numbers.

In 1895, she was graduated from the Baltimore High School and one year later began her career as a teacher in the elementary school of this city. She prepared for her chosen life work, Miss Cooper sought from time to time professional and academic training at the various educational centers of Hampton Institute, Martha's Vineyard, University of Pennsylvania and Morgan University. Further preparation were rewarded as she was advanced in 1903 to the position of practice teacher, associated with the New Training School. In 1910 Miss Cooper was appointed Supervisor of Practice, in which years she went next grade supervisor she exerted a strong influence for improved methods of education in Baltimore.

Sentence Boys Who Robbed Tailor Shop
Two youths, James Bland and James Carroll, were sentenced to eight months in the house of correction by Judge Eugene O'Dunne in Criminal Court Monday when they were found guilty of the larceny of six pairs of trousers from the house of the boys. The boys, whose ages are 16 and 19, were arrested when they were caught trying to dispose of the goods in a pool room. According to evidence, Carroll was employed on the second floor of the building and had a key. With the other boy he is said to have entered the place at night and made away with the trousers.

Says Baltimore Will Have New Theatrical Club Which Will Be Finest In East
NEW YORK—Mr. S. L. Burt, of the Lafayette, is offering at prices ranging from 15 cents to 50 cents the popular "Ciro Club's Cricle Follies," now on Broadway at $5.00 a seat. This musical revue is the most talked of sensation on Broadway. Sammy Speed, of Baltimore, is with this group.

Hezekiah Jenkins, Goo, W.

SLAYER SITS MUTE
IN THE CITY JAIL
Isaac Benson, Who Killed
Both Woman And Rival,
Resuses To Talk
Unusual similarity between
the acts of Isaac Benson, slayer
of a woman and rival and Will
Ilam Smothers, who killed a woman and then committed suicide, is shown, according to investigations of the homicides
made by the police department.
Accused Is Mute
Isaac Benson, one of the accused men, sits in a cell at the City Jail as mute as a statue. Neither his friends or officials have been able to induce him to tell any of the details of the killing, and they wonder whether he will go mutely to the gallows or whether his seeming determination not to talk will be broken before his case comes to trial. Although a frequenter of poolrooms, Benson was known for his quiet habits. He often played in silence.
Crimes. Similar
The similarity between the killings perpetrated by Benson and William Smothers is -very marked. Benson made a flying trip from Des Moines to Boston, where former sweetheart to death, and then went to the home of his rival and shoth him to death. In like manner Smothers came from Florida, and after shooting Miss Louise Jones, the sultor shot, out his own, brains.
May Reveal Mystery
Another mystery which the trial may reveal is the identity of a woman who was in the room with Haywood Price, whom Benson killed. This woman is said to have opened the door when Benson knocked, A coroner's jury held the latter on a charge of murder at the investigation held at the Northwestern station Thursday.

The police cannot regulate the length of women's skirts, Police Commissioner Galther told a committee from the A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting recently.
The committee was appointed several weeks ago to interview the police commissioner and protest against the police officer chosen by political interests on the stage of Pennsylvania avenue theatres.
Members of the committee included Dr. C. H. Stepleman, pastor of Bethel Church; the Rev. F. T. Carr, the Rev. John Collins, the Rev. John T. Colbert and Thaddeus Copeland. Most styles, said the commissioner made it unnecessary for the public to visit theatres in order to see scantily clad women -. Time was he said, when a woman wore her ankle on a seat was condemned for shocking and disgustful spectacle. Those days have passed now and women dressed in the latest style, short skirt and gown-bereft of sleeves or back may be seen on the streets, purse-rings or even in tae churches. The police can regulate it the commissioner.
The whole problem falls back upon the churches and other educative influences. Commissioner Gather promised to cooperate in sampling out any indecencies in vaudeville by placing plain actors men in the avenue theatres with orders to repert any violations of city ordinances.
This whole question was revived in the preachers' meeting Monday when Dr. Stepteaun made his report. A committee of pastors from the Baptist Preachers' Meeting, headed by Dr. Dr. Alan Lynn, Rev George Crawley, asked the M. E. ministers to appoint a committee of five to serve with similar committees from the Baptist and M. E. Preachers' Meetings to discuss what steps shall be taken to protest against the midnight shows in local theaters the committee headed by Dr. Stepteaun was authorized to act in conjunction with the Methodists and Bantists.

The car was operated by Eugene Carroll, 935 Eutaw street, who removed him to the Colonial Hospital where he was treated for an abrasion of the right hand. There was no violation of the traffic laws, police say.

Neither Attorneys Nor Detective Will Discuss Trailing Mrs. Page To Hotel Room
James Herman Page, postal clerk at Falls Station, began proceedings to obtain an absolute divorce from his wife, Mrs. Hattie Pago on grounds of infidelity and naming William Dixon on well known politician, as correspondent. Monday.
The bill, which was filed through the law office of Attorney Charles Maln, avers that they were married at St. Katherine's Church, April 6, 1921, and lived together until June 4, 1924, at which time the plaintiff alleges he discovered his wife's unfailfulness. They have not lived together since, he declares. Green Silent.
William L. Green, former prohibition agent and now a private detective, would neither affirm or deny the rumor that he trailed Mrs. Page in a local hotel where she was found in company with Dixon, when interviewed by a reporter, Wednesday. His obligations to the plaintiff prevented him-from making a statement for publication, he declared.
To Fightit Suit
The allegations will be fervently denied when the case is called to trial, Attorney J. Steward Davis, counsel for Mrs. Page, declared. Mrs. Page will also demand custody of their four year old son Calvin, he stated. The child has always been in her care and has never been properly supported by her husband he added. Mr. Davis refused to discuss the hotel episode. It is hardly likely that the case will be heard in open court, both attorneys intimated.
