COOLIDGE WILL NOT REMOVE RECORDER FROE West Virginian Has Made Good Record As Official In District MANY APPLICANTS FOR HIS POSITION WASHINGTON, D. C.—The President has no intention of removing Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia and appointing in his stead one of the several men whose names have been presented to him, it was learned at the White House Saturday. Those who have been urged for the position being filled by Mr. Froe include Warner T. McGuinn, of Baltimore, who was supported by Representative John Phillip Hill, Republican of Maryland, R. A. Williams, of Chicago, supported by Senator Dickknley; Ernest Tiddington, of Evansville, Ind., supported by Senator James E. Watson, Republican of Indiana, and Charles Colburn, of Chicago, supported by Senator T. Coleman duPont, Republican of Delaware. Mr. Froe, it was said, has made a very fine recorder and has won the respect of the public proof bureau of the office, with his office. He has been instrumental in securing the passage, through this session of Congress of a bill to build an iron proof bureau of the office, which is now housed in cramped quarters in a non-iron proof rented building. This is but one of his accomplishments since his appointment The term of office of Mr. Froe is indefinite. He serves at the pleasure of the president, and has been no logical reason given to the President why Mr. Froe should not be continued. Under the new law, which has been signed by the President, Mr. Froe will reorganize the office of the recorder of deeds and will allocate the employees of his office on a salary basis instead of a fee based on which the office is now operated. Mr. Froe is a leading Republican of West Virginia and brought, on the full colored, to the state gave President Coolidge over 31,000 majority-over John W.

CITY EDITION CONGREGATION ROUTED; MOB FIRES CHURCH Labor Troubles In New Jersey Culminate In Race Riot FOREIGNERS FEARED RACE STRIKEBREAKERS Every Colored Home Visited. Residents Told To CARTERET, N. J.—Scores of peaceful persons were beaten, the Baptist Church burned and hundreds temporarily driven out of town in a race riot here this week. Casualties among the whites include on killed, one bally injured and one may hurt. Labor troubles are at the bottom of the riot. Riot began Sunday morning early when John Carroll, white pugilist and Ralph Johnson, accompanist by Mrs. Carroll, came involved in a fight between a white and colored man on the street. Carroll was killed instantly, a knife going into his heart, and Johnson was injured. Albert Duceau who has but one eye, together with six companions were inmediately placed under arrest. News spread fast. By night colored people were assembled in First Baptist Church. The Rev. R. Reader was preaching. Members of the church had them in the house and kept sticks and a few firearms. They fired several shots and threw stones into the windows. As the congregation fled, paper, wood and gasoline collected and the church set on fire. Members of the crowd told laughingly how they made innocent men dead from the house of worship. One eight year old youngster was struck on the head with a baseball bat by members of the mob, who died The firemen soon put out the blaze and turned the water on the mob, which gave way for a white and returned again, setting the fire on the mob. The mob was destroyed. This time it was destroyed. Members of the mob then went from door to door in the colored section waking up the people and telling them to go. Men and women were only allowed time to get their clothes on and to go. Women carried babies and men carried vallies and satutes. Three hundred were rounded up on the outskirts of the town and it was Monday morning before they got courage to go back home. Twenty-one special police were thrown into the colored man who came out of his house was searched for firearms. Police searched no white persons, however, many of whom were burned, sticks and talked about burning and bombing and buying firearms.

Some of the colored workers are newly arrived from the South They were brought here to work in the factory. The reason have aroused the hatred of the white foreigners who were heard to threaten hanging of the whites who were responsible for bringing colored people into the town. While the crowd responsible for Carroll's death may not have had the best reputation, members of the church were peaceful and law-abiding and not responsible in any way. Burned School Fairfathen public school near Red Bank, N. J., was burned to the ground by members of a white mob who attacked the school, which was attacked by colored children once. The Rev.

PAY NO MORE NEW HOWARD UNIVERSITY HEAD SHOULD COME FROM THE FACULTY SAYS ALUMNUS By ALUMNUS As the writer now sizes up the Howard situation, after weeks of tireless investigation, the question to the University press. Howard Alumni, and Negro educators is: whether Howard University is to be controlled by, a self-styled political "Black Cabinet" of educators beyond the politics of education. The approaching appointment of a new president will soon decide the issue. The trustees of the college, the decision and the press will stand ready to analyze their action interpreted in terms of the self-expressed qualifications of their appointee. **Rumors** As the eventful day draws near, the becoming more charged with pre-appointment rumors; at least one of which seems loaded. Extravagance is to be expected, for the most part, because of the importance of contemplated action. One rumor declares that the candidate has been depleted by common agreement of the Durkew forces. The rumor presents Dr. Durkew as saying that the next president of Howard University will be a white man. Still another names a colored man as being the impetus. If all come true, Howard will have presidents galore. Dr. Moorland Allowing, however, for such spontaneous extravagances, the writer is at last convinced that the person closest this far to the appointment of the trustee-board. The writer published the rumor a few weeks ago, but doubted its significance; but he is now convinced that unless vigorous steps taken by the president of the Dr. Moorland will rise to the dazzling heights of the presidency of Howard University. If the trustees go ahead with their alleged program to advance the most, Negro education a man so obviously devoid of the qualifications of a college president, they ought to be haunted for the rest of their lives by an indignation that the public may expect any kind ofological pedagogical action by the "Black Cabinet" group apparently running Howard University. It is better, therefore, to hold the trustee, as it is impossible, only to wake up to find the dire deed done. Accuracy Whatever the reader has been able to pick in these Alumnus articles, inaccuracies have not been in the number. The writer has been and accurate and accurate, and has accomplished, by plush publicity, every aim that he has sought. He entreats, therefore, for continued confidence that Howard University may yet be made safe for education and accurate representation, and support of the Negro press to prevent the high office of presidency of Howard University for meeting converted into a case for lame ducks. The writer seeks an expression from the president on the need for a trustees of the University to place one of their own number into the presidency—and a retired, jobless member at that. Real Shooting The alumnt did a perfect job last summer when they flooded the Board of Trustees with resolutions, hold inception meetings, and call for demands. Though they struck the bull's eye, their real shooting has just begun. If they fall off in a deep slumber, they are merely to clear the road for a greater danger. Now is the time for action. Delay will mean another campaign in the same line of duty. Strikes There must be a stumbler, uncompromised, and dignified fight for a qualified president of Howard University. The writer scoffs at such enforcing agencies, and presses the press and the platform for an effective campaign to educate the public (and perchance the trustees) concerning the probability of a fate that should be averted. Again, the writer wants to warn all true friends of Howard University not to proclaim for any cause such an unwise stop against well-intentioned sympathizers. The fight should be made for a standardized and professionalized presidency of Howard University as far as the light test now should go. If the trustees can see the wisdom of placing at the head of Howard University a man fully equipped academically, professionally, and morally, the writer will help to, sing their merited praises. But if they are going to select a man who has not the recognized qualifications to teach even first year students in a reputable high school, our curses should be deep and loud. Trustees' Policy There might not be so much fear of the possible action of the trustees if they had not already established the unenviable reputation for falling down in all matters requiring pedagogical judgment. No doubt, their former blunders have been due to blind guidance; but their record, nevertheless, stands open to the public. Their policy has been to act on the spur of the minute to cure a trouble temporarily, regardless of future consequences. Speed, unrestrained by even cursory judgment, has been their evident failing, thus leading to misunderstandings and confusion. For example, with their characteristic speed and indifference to existing facts and probable consequences, they voted last June to retire all prosecution cases, and at which it appeared would have reached the most troublesome deans and professors. When they put this rule into effect, necessitating about $10,000 and increasing yearly salaries with the weight of a deficit. Letters were sent to the beneficiaries, and immediate action was planned. Dr. George Cook's Case The bombardment of the press followed. Alumnus called attention to the low age, showing that the university coffers cannot stand the strain and frantically accusing the university of being more than vindictiveness. Alumnus suggested that whenever the university put George William. Cook, beloved of all Howard generations, upon the shelf, the admin- The administration went Alumnus one better. It postponed the day of pension, raised the congenial little Deans' salary, graced him with an "Emeritus", and relieved him of his obligation to help the United Order of College Deans. Pension Law-Framed At the recent meeting of the trustees, a teacher agreement was reached to withdraw gracefully tro mthe pension law, so now the aged, the balk. $39,615,851 NEW INSURANCE ISSUED R.

And again our prophecy is fulfilled, that Deans Cook and Miller and other prospective victims of the suburbs at Howard University when Dr. Durkee was right away from there. The reader will recall that when funds were alarmingly tight, the trustees had a midsummer night's dream of a president, of discovered 'platform and pulpit' accomplishments, around the country with the romantic story of Howard University. He will be his histong. And all this sudden excitement was not to raise funds but to dispense the fame of the university. The minute-man was once due much of male who had never heard of Howard University, so he advised as the first logical move towards educational greatness, the dropping of all financial support from the school of religion) and the excursion cross-countryward. Vice President The plan called for the creation of a new position, a vice presidency. The president was to be relieved of the university's responsibility. The vice president was to run the university, while the president-dean combination (not on bowing terms) was to bear Howard's roar. Alumnus meddled again, showing this time how ridiculous it was for a president to stick around for eight years and had a romantic story until an expert poked him in the ribs with the information, and then to manifest such speed to transport the president to enormous expense in the light of the economic campaign that cut adjourn four professors. The trip was abandoned, and the vice presidency, with which he was not affiliated without dental materialized. Perhaps the trustees feel honor-bound to offer him the presidency.

The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is, therefore, more than merely a successful commercial enterprise. It is the standard bearer of its Race. Its usefulness to the Race is now at the highest point in a history going back over twenty-seven years of growth and progress.

The university valued their service, but the coffers were depleted. Curtailment became inevitable. The official narration of how those two committees (Executive and Budget) struggled before coming to a decision is likely to bring tears to the eyes. The deed had to be done. Alumnus leaped into the fray again and proved to the satisfaction of the public that the trustees was being trusted. He showed how freely money was being spent and called attention to a quiet appointment that was made visible. He exposed the unanswerable hypocrisy of the whole business, showing how ties of consanguinity had precedence over administrative result, when the trustees had their first opportunity, they rescinded their action in part, and regardless of their power, the man who had the power for the current college year, at full salary. To prove their own insincerity, when a vacancy came a few weeks ago in the business courses, instead of replacing Professor Green, they put in a candidate of the "Ring," a professor so well qualified that when his class began to study investments he asked the class to excuse him for a week until the himself could look up the selects. These are enough instances to indicate that the trustees are obviously a tree on matters requiring psychological attention. Are they likely to their methods in selecting a president? The writer feels that in the light of past performances, the trustees are pretty certain to disappoint the public. Qualified From the alumn there should go up a mighty cry for a quillified president.

Unless the president select motion of run- ning Howard University is checked now, the institution is going to be- come an alluring plumtree of patron- age, rather than a university of the rich and practices. In our present American society, medicine, law, and the ministry are universally recognized as being fully professionalized. In education has been a common indicator to standardize professional universities' presidencies. Only in isolated cases of state universities can any element of politics become discernible. Howard University should follow the best practices and be a prominent man with academic training in professional equipment. The presidency of Howard University should offer a permanent tenure, and it will if it so selects a real educator. 25 On The List The professors are keenly interested in the outcome of the present undertaking to select the best candidates, and they are going over the qualifications of some twenty-five candidates. It might have sounded more assuringly they had said that they are the best available candidate that the salary and other emoluments could attract. The Howard professors are persuaded to write to the writer to "get together." The writer knows all about the schisms. All the past should be forgotten and the professors' own number of strong president, even if the trustees should see fit to select one of the professors' own number. A frankly, selection could easily be made from the Howard family. There are men of scholarship, vision and executive ability who could rehabilitate Howard-University. Professors Available Whenever such a reference is made, the reply is that those professors would pull against one of their own. The writer feels otherwise. It will be to the overheating disgrace of Negro scholarship if the trustees can prove that such is the situation; but saying 898 926 Saturday, May 1, 1926 so does not make it so. The trustees have made a practice of taking care of any discoverable qualifications for the presidency, why not take a chance on one of their own scholars? The white man will go as far as he can professors he promoted the Howard professors that an opportunity to give tenure that an opportunity to this wholesome experiment. The writer would even like to see professors themselves declare their choice of a member of their own group to professors to give them whole-hearted co-operation. They need not be any fear of that. A White Man If at the end of five years the professors prove the contention that the must have a white man over the must have them pull together in the harshness, there can remain no potent of practice of electing the colored man; be give the colored man the chance to be the condemnation. Colored men are running big school systems. They preside over normal universities if given a chance. They only reason why colored men succeeded in running other institutions is that they have been given the opportunity to work. The writer wants the public to know that they are professors in Howard University who fill the presidency of the institution they are serving. They have had the opportunity to prove their problems. They have had the experience. They can pull together. They have pulled together. No Choice The writer has no choice. He will support loyalty any promoted protector of the faculty endorses of his fellow professors. The writer asks is that, whether the instituting Committee goes within or outside the university for the next president, he shall be a trained educator. He will support the administrative qualities, and important morals. Howard University must be made safe for education, and this can be thought about only through staff dedication and professionalizing the presidency. Would Be Elk's Treasure WASHINGTON, D. C.-C.

Sweet, whose occupancy of a house at 2905 Garland avenue, led to the disturbance resulting in Beiner's death. Dr. Sweet, his wife and eight others are charged with the killing. Prosecutor Toma arranged to bring Benny Sweet to trial first because it heaped evidence is strongest against him due to a statement made by him in the former trial where he self-defense will be the nob. Benny Sweet, according to his attorneys, who have misidentified the right of a man to protect his life and property when the law makes it possible when a Negro to own property anywhere in the city of Detroit. Racial prejudice, unwillingness to serve and other reasons made the selection of the jury a difficult task. With two jury acquitted, Judge Murphy threatened to send sheriffs into the street and press-in to service any who seemed suitable The first Sweet trial took place last November and lasted four weeks. The jury disagreed after deliberating 46 hours. After that trial Clarence Darrow, representing the defendants moved for separate trials which was granted. Sweet declared today that he was confident of his trial. He believes implicity in Clarence Darrow who recites the fact that four members of the KUK lux Klan got on the other jury. Within the past ten years, this city's colored population has increased from 15,000 to 81,331. At the same time 300,000 whites have come in from the south. While the court is not in session, Judge Murphy has ordered the jury locked up. They may not go to the theater, be on or visit their home, and will be supplied with bumpers from which all articles relating to the trial will be clipped out. Friday five prospective jurors made prejudicial statements during examination. Darrow was infuriated and suggested in a bold remark that there must be a difference between people and the proportion of jurors to talk as they did the prospective juror. Philip Savage confessed to a " firm conviction that these people invited attack." Another explained: "I own property in this neighborhood which would be depreciated in value. New in it, have confidence against Negroes, but think that they should move into white neighborhoods." Darrow explained to them the right of a citizen under the law to buy property wherever he chose. It was impossible to find Negro jurors able to qualify because of the fact that all Detroit Negroes have read of the case and that they have definite opinions that it "would take evidence to remove", or are prejudiced in favor of the defendants.

FOUND WIFE ASLEEP IN BOX FACTORY M Boulin Detective Raids Plant Of Virgin Islander In New York PROPRIETOR NAMED DIVORCE CORESPONDENT Husband Alleges He Stole Wife's Affections Worth $30,000 NEW YORK.—Alexander H. McIntosh, a pullman porter of 32 W. 127th street has started two suits in the Supreme Court, through his attorney, Benedict A. Leerburgher, one against his wife, Mrs. Leonell McIntosh, 2127 Madison avenue, for absolute divorce, and the other against John F. Moore, 207 W. 60th street, a wealthy box manufacturer, for a $30,000 allenation suit, whom he named as correspondent. Moore owns and operates the box factory for several years at 588 Greenwich street. He is a bachelor and is considered wealthy. Mr. McIntosh claims that for several months he had engaged the services of Boulin's National Detective Agency to make investigations which culminated in a raid on Moore factories on April 16th, after the detectives, Mr. McIntosh and several witnesses had kept an all night watch over the factory where Mr. McIntosh claims his wife and Moore had remained all night in the small bed room on the second floor. Mr. McIntosh blains all his domestic trouble, which extends over several months, on April 14th and on numerous other occasions, his wife was a frequent visitor to Moores place. The couple were married in October, 1905, in New York City. There are two children. The husband states that they have been separated twice, first time was nine years ago and the last time was four years. He has had him arrested and put on probation through the Family Court many times. Both Mrs. McIntosh and Moore are natives of St. Croix, Virgin Is. It is said that Moore is one of the most prominent known persons in the United States among the Virgin Islanders.

GARVEY LOSES CASE IN COURT Detectives Who Raided "Love Nest" Not Guilty Of Disorderly Conduct COMPANION ACTED AS A SUBSTITUTE NURSE Court Convulsed With Laughter, Judge Threatens To Clear Room NEW YORK.—As a result of a raid by detectives in the apartment of Mrs. Garvey No. 1, 666 St. Nicholas Ave., in the early morning of April 5th, Mr. Boulin, the head of Boulin's National Detective Agency, was summoned to the Heights Court by Mrs.Garvey and Jos. Krazer, who was named as correspondent in a divorce suit, started against her by her husband, Marcus Garvey. They charged the head of the Agency who disorderly conduct and raiding party, after Frazers' hands were tied. At the end of the hearing, during which several of the witnesses testified to the Agency, Magistrate Simpson told Mrs. Garvey and Frazer, he did not believe their story and dismissed the com- paint. It is said that this was the most interesting and amusing case that has been tried in the Magistrate Court for some time. The merciless cross examination by Mr. Kohn of Kohn and Nagier, 38 W. 44th street, attorneys for Mr. Garvey and the detective, shattered the film's story of Mrs. Garvey and Fruzer, who claimed that they were engaged in the writing of a book. Both complainants submitted that they were undressed and asleep at the time when the raiding party dropped in. It was not clear why it was necessary for them to be in such a position at 3 a.m. just for the sake of writing a book. Mr. Frazer was forced to explain the dark secret when cross examined by Mr. Kohn. Frazer said that he is a pullman porter, but was assisting Mrs. Garvey with this book as a side line; that after he was somewhat tired out by his library efforts, Mrs. Garvey explained of not feeling well, so he decided to stay right and act cautiously "nurse" according to Frazer's own statement on the witness stand. The whole court burst out into laughter when he made this answer to the lawyer, and the judge rapped for order and threatened to clear the court. What is supposed to be one of the embarrassing moments in Mr. Frazer's life was home, when Lawyer Kohn asked him to give the name of any other married women whom he had assisted in a literary way, while undersed and in bed. After assisting in the white collar and applying to a lieutenant chief freely to his last forehead he hesitated and called the name of an unknown woman in Boston, which he said had taken place about ten years ago and whose address he could not remember. The court robe was filled with an intervening band, during the lengthy battle at the end of which both complaintants were disqualified and the detective exonerated. Senate Approves "Colored" Beach WASHINGTON, D. C.—The bill providing for the establishment of separate bathing beaches or pools for white and colored persons in the district of Columbia, which was introduced by Representative Frederick N. Zihman, Republican, of Maryland, was passed by the Senate last Thursday. At the instance of Senator Lee S. Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina, Senator Royal S. Copeland, Democrat, of New York offered an amendment which will restrict the use of one, of these beaches or pools to white persons and the other to colored persons. The amendment was agreed to, and the bill was passed. One pool will accommodate 2,000 white, the other 1,000. The bill as it passed the House simply provided for the establishment of two artificial bathing beaches at a total cost not to exceed $345,000. There was no language in the bill requiring that the pools be separate. It was understood, however, that one pool would be used by white persons and the other by colored persons. It was planned to let the commissioners of the District of Columbia provide for the separation of the races in the use of the pools. Senator Overman objected to the bill, and to have the bill passed Senator Copeland offered the amendment which was agreed to. The bill goes back to the House for concurrence in the Senate Amendment. After the House approves the Senate amendment, it will then go to the President for his signature.

Some few fortunates there were among the scholars who were able to go out to the grounds on the old York Road and puzzle down the fairland under the big, white top. Pink lemon-pale and peanuts were circus drink and food; or there was the tempting device, hard friend or crab cakes to tickle the palate of those armed with nickle.

JOHNNY HUDGINS IS GOING ABROAD Sail On May 15 To Open In Paris With "Blackbirds Of 1926" BALTIMORE BOY IS DRAWING BIG PAY Engagement At Club Alabama Has Made Famous Night Place Prosperous Johnny Hudgins, known as the greatest pantomimic comedian of recent years has joined Florence Mills' "Blackbirds of 1926" at the Alambra this week as an added attraction. Hudgins expects to sell with the company for Paris on May 15th for four weeks engagement at one of Paris' largest cafes. Hudgins has been at the Club Alabama, one of New York's smartest night clubs since 1924 almost continuously, excepting ten weeks at the Cotton Club in Harlem. These ten weeks absence of the comic are believed to have greatly affected the takings of the Alabama who had refused Hudgins a requested raise in salary. The story runs that such a decline was caused the management to attempt to substitute several others at a much lower salary to ill Hudgins' place. These steps proved a "flop" and the famous club was on the verge of closing its doors. Broadway Salary During Hudgins's stay at the Cotton Club he was approached by numerous theatrical managers who were diskering for his "services." However the Alabama stepped in at this time with an offer to meet the requested salary increase which was accepted. The Alabama is said to be thriving as never before, due to the drawing power of Johnny Hudgins, the highest salaried colored actor on Broadway. Singer Kills Wife; Surrenders CLARKSVILLE, TENN.

This is the virile type of Western sprinkled generously with smart action and humor. On the whole it is pleasantly diverting, chiefly thru the treatment which makes it differ from the storotyped Western. It has the makings of a satisfactory offering, not only at houses catering to Westerns, but wherever an action picture is appreciated. Its difference from the usual Western is in an almost lack of horses. The cowpunchers use automobiles instead, and likewise, there are more airplanes about than bucking crowns. Yet so smoothly has Willard created the atmosphere for these modern devices on a wild background that for a moment do these obtrude themselves as being out of place. The use of ultra-modern effects do not infer that the basic passions and play of emotions among the hard-bolled westerners are not the same as when larvaits, chaps and sundry dot the scene. The constant attempts made on the life of Holt in the role of a gentleman rancher, cover a multitude of sinister tactics.

Both were feathers. Cohen carried every round by a wide margin and Schwartz was in distress fro the first round Schwartz took a lot of punishment in the opening sessions as Cohen had the Baltimore boy at his mercy. Schwartz Helpless A stiff right to the jaw ended Schwartz about the middle of the fifth, and as Schwartz hung on the ropes Cohen peppered Schwartz with the right of eight and as he staggered to the ropes helpless he was unable to raise his hands. As Schwartz lay helpless the referee raised Cohen hand as the big crowd cheered this. This was the first big mixed bout Baltimore has had in some time. A fan who yelled "nigger" at Cohen was called down by Manager Hough and he ran to the ring and he went. Cohen had lots of friends here. He remained in the ring after the bout, fearing some sore-head fan might take a crack at him. Two policemen made a path thrue the outcourt ring and he went out amid cheers. State Boxing Commissioner and Promoter Benny Franklin showed Cohen every courtesy due visiting fighters. He made the third time Cohen he floored him twice in Atlantic City and once in Philadelphia. In the Philadelphia bout Schwartz was the first opponent before he finally took the count. Cohen Unhurt At the opening bell Cohen set the pace although he took several blows on the head and body, none of them did him much damage. Besides a cut in his left arm, the Harlem boy was as fresh as a daisy as he came into the AFRO office with his manager the morning after the fight. Nate Carp challenged the winner for a bout hero on May 11, 2014, and stated that if terms are satisfactory the two will fight here on that date. Schwartz Boood Cohen is one of the ranking feathers rated by Tex Rieck and is being groomed for a championship and Cannonball Eddie Martin to a standstill. He won by a knockout over boys Pancho Villa failed to stare. Cohen is one of the big infighters in the ring today. Several times during the fight the crowd booed Baltimore and Baltimore was guilty twice of hecking Cohen. The crowd booed their disapproval at his methods. manager and Jack Farrel, Chester Cameron, left Tuesday for New York.

He will bring a number of athletes from the 372nd Infantry of Boston. These men rank among the best in New England in the middle distance race. Sandy is a spectacular performer and among the best in the country at the half mile. The management is putting forth every effort to have some competition in his specialty. The Washington High Schools are training faithfully to hold the interscholastic championship in the District, while Bowie Normal, Madison and Downtown will make a strong bid for these honors. Other noted clubs sending entries are the 369th New York Infantry A.C., Mendowbrook club of Philadelphia. The University of Washington is recruiting the team and expects to enter a strong squad. The list of entries is growing daily and the Meet promises to be well worth the while of fans, not only in Washington, but in nearby cities. Appropriate social events are being offered for the evening of the Meet.

Carroll ran last year at Howard in this event and won the Parker of Howard for first place. The time was 9 minutes, 42 and a half seconds new record is expected to be made this year as the Baltimore flash is with the local community and is more familiar with the Howard track. B.A. Robert Lee and Ernest Moody who finish, at the same time, prospectively in the local marathon will enter the same event with Jarrett Timmel. Jarrett's event is attracting considerable notice as Carroll will be matched with some of the fastest two milers in college. Grace Boys' club is grooming Carroll for the Olympic tryouts and his showing in this race will determine his status as a college company. A number of boys from Baltimore are planning to enter the meet and Leo Wood is leading a fast all-time race. Saturday, Alan Watts' physical director at the Drudg Hill "Y" is sending a complete squad, also Douglas High. Entry blanks may be allowed. All entrants to Drudg Hill avenue and Dutwat street.

Wills says he will take them between 126 and 135 pounds. At Harden is the manager and he can be reached by address, the aPatine Club, Pennsylvania avenue. SPORTS MIRROR PR-AREO SPORTS EDITOR BECKWITH RETURNS TO THE SOX With the return of Julio Rojo and John Beckwith, the Black Sox will present the same line up that represented the Monumental entry in the Eastern league last year. Rojo is on the way from Cuba and is scheduled to arrive this week. Rojo is able to capitulate and his signature on the dotted line completes the roster for this year. Reports were circulated the first of the year that Beckwith had signed a contract to play with the Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh, but this column at the time stated that it was doubtful if he would play with an independent team when a league berth meant 100 per cent more to a player and could offer more than an independent team. Wilson, Johnson and Beckwith give the Sox four of the most powerful hitters in baseball. It is rare that one team has four men who are known to hit consistently above the 400 mark. Beckwith led the country last year in home runs and closed the season with a batting percentage of 415. Wilson hit 468 in Cuba has had the best batting season. Jones, Johnson and Taylor are expected to be among this select class. It will be interesting to watch these switters in action this year.

The Sox took the first at Dundalk, near Sparrows Point, Saturday by the score of 9.5. The first game of Sunday's doubleheader went to the Sox, 10-8, but the five inning night cap was won by the Steel City boys in the fifth inning, 8 to 4. Taylor and his gang showed their superiority, but evidently showed up in the last game of the series as fans and players were feeling the effects of the cold weather. Mungin To The Rescue Wilburn got himself in bad in the fourth timing when four walks, two hips and two errors scored six runs. Mungin went to his rescue with the bases loaded, managed to hold the Steelmen to two runs during the fruitful session. He took the California pace, held the visitors glued to the bags, carpenter went the last two timing and twirled a classy bit of baseball. Wilburn is a youngster that came up from Sparrows Point last week and given a tryout by Taylor. A southside albo having one good eye, he was well under the circumstances. Second Homer For Wilson Atkinson a former Virginia league pitcher, went the entire distance for the Bethlehem mine. The Sox got next to him for 15 hits, six being doubles by Day, Wilson Clark, Johnson and two by Belt. This second hit his second hit when he sent the sphere over the center field fence in the night cap. His next trip to the bat netted him a double. Goodell hit a freak home run when he sent the pellet to the right field, the ball bouncing in the stands. Force thought it was a foul and hesitated to recover the ball in the mound, the runner had to run the circuit. Then, fast double plays in which Comie play played an important role made the fans forget the cold weather for a while. McClure Pinch Hits Tadashio hits Ilya, Hay, Wilson, Clark, Britt, 2.

Leaving no stone unturned in their effort to establish the true extent of the Thomas fortune, Attorney J. Howard Payne filed an amended bill to the petition ordering Archie Thomas to produce his account books in court and included the name of his brother, Winfield Thomas on the ground that the latter handled a large portion of the Thomas finances. The first order was signed by Judge Frank last week after the petition of Mrs. Thomas stated that she was unable to proceed with her case unless this information was given at her disposal. The new bill was then when it was thought that a large portion of her husband's holdings had been transferred to his brother. Boy Struck By Auto James Ebanks, age 13, was struck by an automobile when he ran from the curbing at Howard and Linden avenue Friday. The car was operated by Charles Burnup, 821 Light street, who removed the boy to the hospital where he remained. George W. Jones vs Mrs. Florence Jones. Mrs. Viola Scott vs William E. Scott.

John Philip Hill Host To Bird B Evening Sun Sends Successful Cont Excursion To Nation's Evening Sun Sends Successful Contestants On All Day Excursion To Nation's Capital "A scrumptious time. Boy, we did the Charleston on the White House ball room floor. We ate 'umpteen kinds of 'eats' in a swell dining room and took in the sights in great style." This is how one of then the boy winners in the bird box contest summed up to his pal the result of the trip taken Saturday to Washington where they were the guests of Congressman John Phillip Hill and the Evening Sun. Eight of the boys, accompanied by J. R. Meck, of the Evening Sun, J. C. Briscoe, principal of Vocational School and William N. Jones, of the AFRO-AMERICAN, left the Y. Airport at 9:30 and arrived in Washington one and half hour later where they went by arrangement to the office of Congressman John Phillip Hill whose guests were for the day. The congressman, who had a speaking engagement at the Johns Hopkins in the morning, made a fast beeline to fishing on be on time to fetch the boys and personally greeted and chatted for some time with them before they were escorted into the Speaker's private dining room where arrangements had been made for them to dinner. Annual Home Brew Several very original humorous incidents helped to enliven the occasion one being when one of the boys wanted to know if Congressman Hill had on hand any of the home brew of which they had heard so much. One of the boys was seen coily taking a package from his overcoat pocket and making an attempt to get rid of it. It turned out to be a lunch which he had brought along on the "safety first" idea. Stenographers and secretaries in the office of Representative Hill stated that the group exhibited unusual good humor. Historic Paintings Historiic Paintings As a guide we invited and the party was taken through the capital building where they showed unusual interest in the great paintings and historical pictures on the walls of this building. Their eyes sparkled in wonder as the guide told them of the enormous cost and long spent in producing these paintings. "Can you beat it?!" bust out one lad "$30,000 just for one picture." Others showed interest in the architectural features of the building and took special note of the enormous tonnage of steel in the great dome. "The whispering voice", that peculiar acoustic phenomena under the dome whereby voice utterances at one point is reflected at a certain spot in another point, and that part of the boys as they were given a demonstration by the guide. Lincoln's Monument It was at the great Lincoln monument, however, that the group took on a more serious attitude. Here Principal Briscoe pointed out all the historical details and the zoo stocked with animals and drank the spirit of human freedom before that might figure. A visit was also made to the Washington Monument and the zoo where some time was spent. At the zoo additional refreshments were provided by Mr. Meck of the Sun. At White House By special arrangements made by Representative Hill the group visited the White House in the afternoon. President Coolidge was just leaving for lunch as the group walked in and into the House. He up took them into the President's office, the office of the Secretary of State, the White House hall room and other places where they got a "close-up" of the nation's central government. Do Charleston In one of the big ball rooms the boys were told that great social functions were held, and in a jocular vein one of them asked, "Is this where the President and his guests dance? Well," he said, "m going to do one step of the Charleston dance." The humor of the thing overcame the breach against the grave dignity as stone faced guards looked on with a chuckle. One man remarked, "Well, he does a mean Charleston, anyway." Following a ride around Potomac Jail, boys were driven through the business section of the city and then returned, reaching Baltimore at 6:00 o'clock. Those who took the trip were: Elwood Murray, School 101; Howard Williams, 101; William E. Evans, 101; Douglas Junior High; Edward Lewis, 113; George Moore, 112; Bernard Mills, 113; Robert Hines, 110; Eugene Brown, 113.

Only One Grade FAIRFIELD FARMS MILK Famous for Babies P The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Local Organization Puts Court Room Segregation Up To Judge Gorter Contrasting the divorce laws of Baltimore with those of Philadelphia where the minimum cost of obtaining legal separation is around $200 as against about $80 here, Attorney Raymond P. Alexander of Philadelphia pointed out the social advantages of Baltimore at the monthly meeting of the Monumental Bar Association Saturday evening. The speaker, who was the guest of the local association, spoke on "The Practicing Colored Lawyer in Philadelphia" and gave a vivid description of the experience being made by the confession there to control the practice of the group and establish themselves before the Pennsylvania Bar. 25 Lawyers There are 25 colored lawyers practicing in Philadelphia, according to Attorney Alexander, many of whom are recent arrivals. In discussing the divorce laws, the speaker stated that with an initial master's fee of $100, the minimum cost of securing a divorce is around $200. Here in Baltimore divorces which do not get to open court may be tried before an examiner for a fee. Many poorer people, he said, can not pay the price and the result is that many either become bigamists or live together without marriage sanction. Fights Jim Crow At the business session of the association, which was held at the home of Norman Bishop, a committee headed by W. C. McCard reported that the matter of segregation in the Criminal Court rooms of Baltimore had been discussed with Chief Judge James P. Gortor and that the Judge stated that it was not being done at the instigation Supreme Bench and would be remedied. President Roy S. Bond, who is serving his second term, has also appointed a committee to visit Cheltenham. After the formal meeting the members repaired to Club Arabia where a dinner was served.

Glimor street, in an interview Tuesday as to why her brother, George Smith, of the same address shot and killed Miss Dorothy Carter and then ended his own life in the Wyman Apartments where they were both employed, Thursday night. Mrs. Harrison stated that she had been assigned to Miss Carter by her brother, who was younger than herself, but knew little of her. She has since learned that she was married. Whether the return of the husband had anything to do with the tragedy or not she was unable to say. World War Veteran Smith, according to Mrs. Harrison, came to the city from Stuartton, Virginia, in 1915. He enlisted here and served overseas during the war. He made his home here after his return. Since the installation of dining room service at the Wyman Apartment he had been employed as a nurse. He became acquainted with Miss Carter who was employed as a maid. What transpired between the two prior to the shooting may never be known. Smith was removed to his apartment where the funeral took place. Calls Cheltenham A Real Hell Cheltenham is a real Hall Attorney Josh Henry told the AFKO-AMERICAN this week following a hearing in which he failed by habeous corpus to secure the release of a man, age 29, from the State reformatory. Cook was brought to Baltimore from Cheltenham by order of his sister who lives in Philadelphia. She said she was committed at the age of 15 as an inmate without proper care, and that she had provided a home for him now and wanted him with her. The boy who is hired to a warden who is not what the charge of a guide while in the city appeared frightened and told the court he didn't want to leave. Cook said Attorney Henry, "shied out our case, but is really a slave contract. He wanted to come but was afraid to say, so for fear there might be some slip and the guard would take him back and beat him." The real incense of Cheltenham is that it takes away the manhood of every boy incarcerated there."

Mr. dear Mr. Arnold: I trust you will pardon me for taking the liberty of writing you as I am not personally acquainted with you, and I am sure such that I have no hesitation in believing that to remain silent would do nothing against injustice to a deserving Regent. I understand that a question has been raised as to the support given in my effort to secure confirmation of my appointment as Comptroller by the U. S. Senate, by Senator Weller. It is with much pleasure that I assure you that on every occasion that my name came before the U. S. Senate for confirmation, I was present and not only voted for my confirmation but urged other Senators to do so. My name was before the Senate on three different occasions and each time Senator Weller was confirmation. During my fight for confirmation, I frequently consulted with Senator Weller as to the attitude of several Senators and the very willfully gave me most interest in which which one to charge their attitude. My fight for confirmation was not a personal fight but a Race fight and my victory was a Race victory and Empathetic will show gratitude in giving their support to Senator Weller in his candidacy for the nomination. With best wishes for your success I am. We very truly, (Signed) Walter L. Cohen, Comptroller of Customs. ADV.

Thoughts Of The Founder Too many of our sons want to be lawyers, doctors, preachers and school teachers. There is just as much honor in being a good mechanic as there is in being a good lawyer or doctor and very often a good deal more money. A first class mechanic is always in demand, and at good wages." Cullen INCIDENT Once riding in old Baltimore, heart-filled, head-filled with glee, lay Baltimore I sat, keep looking straight at me. Now I was eight, and very small. And he was no whit bigger. And so I smiled, but he poked out His tongue, and called me "Nigger." I saw the whole of Baltimore From May until December; Of all the things that happened That's all that I remember. Saturday Mr. Countee Cullen, author of the above lines, now 23 years old, Harvard student and winner of the Harvard university prize, back to Baltimore, the prize his parents called home. He was to be the guest of the City club at its weekly luncheon at the Emerson Hotel, and give a talk to the lobby of the hotel, he was not by club officials who made his visit Saturday very like that other visit ten years ago. No one poked out his tongue and called him maniac. He did worse, he him, they whose guest he was to be, informed him the management of the hotel subjected to colored guards that situation to speeches with withdrawal. He was to the recent Roland Hines concert and now the affron to Mr. Cullen, and nothing to Biltmore reputation as a man of the hill town provincialism so common to the backwoods of Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas. In such places worth, character, achievement matter little. Only Folk there are like a 'lady' Mr. Collen wrote about in his new book 'Color.' The quatrain runs: 'She even thinks that up in heaven her class lies late and snores. While near black cherubs rise at "To do celestial chores." Mr. Cullen, regretfully, the AF-AMERICAN apologizes for Baltimore poor manners. There never was and never will be any excuse for 18-breeding. You only excuse the white for the white here, there is that they are not fully civilized. Most of them are barely one generation from poverty and small streets. Dumas, Dusain among the men, would have been subjected to the same indigency in Baltimore, the city club and Emerson Hotel color phobists offered you. The truth is, Mr. Cullen, you should be in position in Baltimore as your placeman, fireman, street sweeper or even garbage collector. Knowing this city color insanity as we do we are not surprised so much that its leading club insults you, such as we are surprised they invited you to come in the first place. Weller And Hill Mr. O. E. Weller and Mr. John Philip Hill are candidates for the U. S. Senate in the coming elections. Both of these gentlemen will represent the interests of sympathetic Republicans in their candidates by asking the President to make a federal appointment. Strangely enough both Mr. Weller and the President of Deeds in the District of Columbia, which is not vacant. Mr. Weller, suggested Mr. Wm. L. Fitzgerald for the place last year. The other day Mr. Hill went to a house with the name of Mr. McGuintie. If the President holds to his policy of not mixing in state primary elections, Messrs. Weller and Hill must seek other means to be involved in the job position. If they are convinced as we are that "Silent Carl" will remain neutral, they may not take it amiss that we suggest that federal plums in Maryland be more than "sour graves" in Washington. Two years ago we estimated that Maryland G. O. P. might select a colored assistant U. S. district attorney and an assistant U. S. marshal to represent city. What about it, gentleman? Morgan College in its recent campaign for a half million dollar endowment secured $100,000 in pledges, cash in hand by June 1 in order to secure a similar amount from the university, notices sent out last week signed by Dr. J. O. Spencer, president and Mr. Charles W. Baldwin, president of the board of trustees, urged those students to take action due. Those who had paid up to date were invited to make a payment in advance to 'insure' 'victory' Morgan College represents the brightest spot in the educational system of the State. It opens the only door to training beyond the university's image available for colored people. Maryland should subscribe the Morgan College endowment and pay in full the cost to too great for this cause. Fitchett The finding of the body of the Rev. J. M. H. Fitchett, A. M. E. pastor, in the Pocomoke River has many who had followed the search for the pastor since his disappearance three months ago. A Burns detective who investigated the case with the Baltimore's A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting, was convinced that Rev. M. Fitchett had fled Pocomoke under circumstances which indicated compromising position from which he sought to escape through flight. The finding of the body with its remains in the flight theory, does away with the flight theory, also casts serious doubt upon the story of Harrison Hargis, a neighbor, who said he found the pastor in his mother's closet the night of the disappearance. According to the findings of the coroner's jury, the Fitchett case is a brutal and sinister murder. The authorities have instructed the institute to institute more thorough investigation and punish the guilty. "Dance Fan" As expected the Baltimore grand jury refused to indict the Messrs Ernest Purbury and Isaac Dixon, the two officers who were a local weekly on the charge of printing indecent photographs. The photographs represented crimes in drugs and are of the type that the court daily in the theatres and press. Similar photos of gage girls with more or less of the body exposed could be used in a city so that the question arises immediately if the Northwestern District police intended to start a new kind of clean-up campaign, why did not start with the big follows.

Mood Standard To the Editor: Recalling to mind the progress of the race to date, I am brought to a realization of the fact that women have possessed a major role in contributing to that progress. When I say the women of the race, I have in mind these of the sex, who have contributed the manpower to construct substantial characters whose duty it was to lead the black hosts that were emerging from the jit of a city of intelligence, thrift, and the realm of good American citizenship; women whose interests were centered in and whose mentored led them to see that the advancement of the race meant preservation of self; women to whom the integrity of the race and its upward trajectory were important of life and who labored with a joy unexcelled to assist the race in all its noble efforts; who by their clean environment in which we gained strength and renewed vigor after the stress of battle. Their lives have been our inspiration and our guiding stars and be ever mindful of their service. One Professor Huxley said of them, "They are much better endowed in most of these respects than many men." Over the great expanse of time we can say they have wrought well. The latest of their many assets is the ballot and we are hoping they will wield it as never man made. We are never man made of the corrupting influences instituted by man; gaining through it more of the rights and privileges due their race. We see them on the fireline during these Black Madnesses. In the homes they are laboring in cooperation with those of the class room teaching and instructing the standard business of the morrow, American citizens and home builders. In the nurseries of great fraternities with patients teaching the little tots in the work of "carrying on." Lets not be lacking in recognition of their noble efforts. Since the 1960s, we have been man's inspiration and it is said of her that she is the race. May their zeal be as a torch that illuminates the path of the race. Insisting to mollor deeds, higher and loftier ideals, a greater sense of duty to God and race and the establishment of a higher standard of mobility. O. Travers, 946 Westminster St. N. W. Washington, D. C. This Writer Insists There Are Jim Crow Arrangements At The Custom House During Civil Service Service # Examinations To the Editor: On the last page in the sixth column of last weeks' issue you will read: "No Jim grew used at the Custom Base Intelligence shows writer of recent letter of complaint in error." I want to say that I am ready to back up in the Custom House for March 6, 1918. I myself took the examination for most inspector of the department of agriculture. I was deliberately told to take a rear seat. I was the only colored man present and my position was six sents from the white men and 2 sents from the black men. About 25 feet from the man who had charge of the examination. Being a little hard of hearing it was impossible for me to hear what was given I asked for the words that were given and was told that it was illegal to repeat. I knew from that that I would never pass the exam. I passed everything according to reports except spelling. I have received a letter from Inquiring Service in Washington D. C. saying that they have filed my paper and to try again. In conclusion I wish to address personally the employees of a prison office, stating that is impossible for them to see, what is going on in the examination room because before you are admitted there is a man standing at the door with your phone, and these are the only ones who can enter the room. There is segregation in the Civil Service Examinations and every colored man is discriminated, segregated and jim crowed. Harvey A. Rogers, 1844 Eagle street, Balto, Md.

MAYOR NEWS ITEMS: Mississippi Governor orders officials to apprehend mob who lynched white man. DAY BY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES A joint committee of Baltimore ministers representing the three preschoolers's meetings the preschoolers attend midnight shows and some of the high-powered jazz life which they feel is detrimental to youth. If out of this movement there are more real sessions and practical thought of the churches' responsibility to the youth and especially to the question of amusement a recreation, it well will be worth while. In jazz spirit and the increasing tendency to speed up life present problems not only for youth but those of every age. The fact is there is a pace killing dominance of active activities, and in own sphere flaming youth cannot be expected to lose age when every activity in life takes on more and more vigor, more mature guidance of the pulsating, vibrant and naturally playful life of the young. Insofar this writer asked a number of ministers to approve a number of amusements from a list submitted to them that would have the sanction of the church or to submit others which might be submitted. Checkers, dancing, cards, billiards theatre, even movies are banned by most ministers, but they do not substitute anyone for them. If you are going to dump up the flow of youthful energy at any point you must provide an outlet at another. This is the problem that can be avoided by many youth activities. Youth must not be blamed, however, for the price making speed of life. Every day this week you have grown in momentum and a mud rushing current of human activity. Even church activities volume until the faithful must cave in to hear heavier hurders to keep up. Business and professional competition is keener and the whole scheme of existence is pitched on a higher key. Youth instructors must understand is that the same primal motive which makes them crave an automobile and two months vacation where once they would go to the beach, all the year round, is the same motive which prompts the youth to heed the wailing call of the saxophone, the mile-a-minute Charleston dance and the midnight Ministers have their enjoyment in their way and the same instinct makes youth do the same. We are now forgetting that we have to lift up of us set LIFE in our way and youth to whom play is as natural as work and achievement is grown-ups. WILL HATTER to be able. What Ministers want to know more what they CAN do and less of what they CAN do. Some time ago when a number of civile spiters women wanted to be a teacher, they ground for children in a certain section of the city, it was a minister who registered the most effective objection which prevented it. Any movement, therefore on the part of ministers to give serious and intelligent study to the question of recreation should have far reaching effects. For when the church reorganised, the collogon is is wrapped up more with the play periods in life than it is with work of worship, they will begin to see the importance of preparing ahead of presenting amusements. Men and women do not go wrong, or strong or home, or for home, THE MOST PART THEY HIT THE ROCKS THE QUEST You get the exciting causes for some things in unexpected sources. You can also get the good example. Before the change from large to one-man cars on this line there was very little outward show of racial feeling by passenger. Now, packed like sardines most every passenger gets angry during the crowded morning and evening as an evident growing antagonism. There is always the problem of crowding in big cities. You can get the route like the Fulton avenue line, is certainly no place for such small equipment as the one man car. As a woman carried two blocks beyond her stop one day Race Relations And Street Cars this week because she found it impossible to squeeze through the crowd in time. If the officials responsible for these cars on the Fulton line had to make just two trips, the police during the rush period there would be some changes made. Take The Veil Discussing her idea of the changing place of woman in modern society, a young lady remarked in a group recently that she had taken (and was) a career in anewheres was concerned an henceforth looked to a life of economic independence. "Even if I get married," remarked her, "my career of work and let others have the job of raising the families. That causal remarks of this kind are piling up huge statistics to back them up and that more and more women, both single and married, are becoming bread winners and independent occupants, a fact which escapes notice. While in the great Catholic church women take the vell out of religious sacrifice and devotion, in every day life they are certainly consigning themselves to careers which will deny them mother, hood, and knowingly, because it pleases them to do so. But they have the threshold of a new voluntary process where there will be a few specialized mothers and a humanity of neuter femininity. Is one angle of this development. Some animal groups, bees for instance have tried this with remarkable success. Here they have developed mobs and swarms of nenate females who do the work. In this scheme the males are reduced to a number of drones sufficient to supply males for the work. In other words the females in the bee hives solve their moral question by killing all but a few of the bees and strongest males, probably because they would not like this of course, but if we are headed in this direction, we will get there some day even if it takes a million years. Womankind have slowly, emancipated themselves in a man made world where plural wives and economic dependence once were the norm, but till today they have taken a fifty-fifty position. Will they stop there, is the question. Political Scavengers The more you watch results of political elections the more you must be convinced that the good old man of the political scavenger is passing. Only in the hidebond South now is there anything like curry mixed with miltious chiefs of the great cities cannot always now be depended upon to control the majority of votes of the increasing group of independent citizens. With this change is passing a relic of campaign times which made many honest men and public officials. This was the swarm of habitual political hukkers who buzzed about political do anything, go anywhere and espouse any cause, for a few petty dollars. They have not all passed, but the intelligence of voters of all groups is making them obsolete. Most candidates have learned from more or less unpleasant ex-ministers of votes' and leaders of the people are for the most part but fakes. The effective factors in popular opinion and direction of public sentiment. Even the relative strength of organization and direction of public opinion is changing in favor of the machine in favor of the person. It is limited to the actual number of people which the machine can help directly or indirectly while those whom public opinion may reach have no control. We need young men and women to help guide the busy voters, but these young men and women will do well to grasp the machine's coercion and base their leadership on intelligent direction and presentation of the practical issues and probable consequences of things they want the voters to do. The City Club Most cities can boast of city clubs facility of having the most elemental facility of having the most elemental for polite manners, But Baltimore cant. So where in this country, not every heart of the South would a civic organization of this kind send an unsolicited invitation to a man and then nurl into his house the cowardly City Club did last Saturday to Courteen Cullen, prominent poet and author. Leaving his studies in Boston, Mr. Cullen was not invited to an invitation of officials of what should be the city's most representative organization. He was not seeking the honor; he was not seeking the city Club where the City Club held a private room for its meeting. HE WAS INVITED. Even if the hotel objected to a colored man spelling out a message, host with a sense of common courtesy would have taken their guest to some more congenial place. One cannot believe that such such guard of gentleman, sentiment of the outstanding and by procedure represents the fair minded white man and woman of the city. They should The authors of th' offices responsible for the lecture of their last Saturday invited speaker was not a race queen, but simply a professor of deocrity. Heard and Seen In Baltimore B- RALPH MATTHEWS We have just finished reading the book issued by the Baltimore Association of Commerce which gives 157 reasons why we should enclose over Baltimore. For instance, it states that more than one hundred years ago Francis Scott key wrote Spamalot. Samuel Spamalot right here under our noses in the Baltimore harbor. It fails to state that of the 798,000 population only 219 can remember the second verse. It states that five Baltimore factories turn out more than one billion tin cans annually. And we thought all the Fords were made in Detroit. Our city also turns out more hot stoppers and scaling devices than any other city. Twice, as many stoppers are used now as and to think some folk as still talk about what a success prohibition is. Women's clothing to the extent of $133,000,000 is manufactured in Baltimore and who fears them if flappers in oilier cities wear little clothing as they do here? In the manufacture of sporting goods Baltimore is potted for its cheap skates. We know this is true because we have not met some of them. Over 1,100,000 hoops are slaughtered here every year. And yet some folk are raising a hut about the Jews taking the city. It doesn't say what kind. Two and one qt. per million cans of corn were robbed, committed here than any other city of the same population. And yet we seem to have just as many taxi cabs here as they have elsewhere. Baltimore ranks high in the manufacture of watches and clocks. This probably shows why so many of our friends have so much time on their hands. The murder rate of Baltimore is far below, that of other cities, the book states. In another place it says that there are not one-third as many jazz bands here as in a busy city, this probably explains it. The most outstanding reason why we should enclose over Baltimore is that there isn't any fence built around it like there was around olden cities and if you don't like it you can get out. AFRO Deserves Its First Place Rating Among Newspapers To the Editor: The AFRO deserves its rating among the Negro newspapers. It is very gratifying that it is the product of my old home,town and that it is edited and managed by my friends, students and associates. We all read it all the time. D. Q. W. Holmes, Washington. Baltimore, Md. E 2d S Kelly Miller Says Kelly Miller Says is now the law and must be of all law will be weakened The 18th Amendment measure. The manner of it with its enforcement. How I said some time ago that the Negro bootlegger was the greatest is now the law and must be enforced, on the sanction of all law will be weakened. The 18th Amendment was pushed thru as a war measure. The manner of its enactment has much to do with its enforcement. Howsoever that might be, it sinner against his race. Granted that Mr. Obama are equally lawful and are equally forbidden to break it, yet there is a residuum of difference in the surrounding circuit. The salvation of the enforcement of certain constitutional amendments calculated especially for his benefit. He violates the eightth amendment of the constitution's applause of secondary advantage so to do, wherein lies the moral consistency in demanding of the nation the enforcement of secondary amendments? He who seeks equity must do equity. The court of justice must be approached with clean hands. Newspapers Object Several newspapers at the time took my position sharply to task. Negro must assert his equality even in his privilege of breaking the law. Since I throw out this casual observation the whole issue of the problem has beenocused upon public attention. The issue hinges upon the question of moral consistency. The violation of the Civil War amendments with the intention of violation for the eighteenth amendment. If Mississippi and South Carolina may ignore part of the constitution to sell California, it may violate by what moral authority can they point the condemning finger at New York and New Jersey, if those states balk at the constitutional provision for prohibition? Moral Question I revert to my original position. Whatever the white people may think or do, the Negro should stand firmly by the strict enforcement of the law. I have often said that the black man's interest in politics is He may well defer to the white overlords of things for the proper guidance and government of the people, and the purity and material welfare are concerned. But when it comes to the question of the rights of maked, unadorned manhood then his interests become primary and paramount. The right to rights is a moral question. The Negro should take a firm stand whatever the politicians may decide to should stand firmly by the right principle. We are now proaching a political campaign for the control of congress. The politicians of both parties are much puzzled us to the prudentin alliance to a mutter of votes. With us it should be a matter of principle. Pulpit Silent In scanning newspapers and other organs of public opinion one regrets to say that he finds no firm note on this question. Even the Negro pulpit Silent has a great moral question of temperance. With all of its defects and imperfections the enactment of prohibitions benefited to the colored race. After making the largest allowable discount for the bootleggers and the violators of the law yet the balance of the population was balanced side of the amendment. The hardened drinker will find some way to satisfy his thirst despite the exactions of law. Youth The real advantage lies in the fact that the temptation is removed from the youth who have not yet formed the evil habit. The fact that the places of safe are secret temptation. When there was an open saloon on every corner, there it stood as an open invitation to the young to drink. The young stood waiting to rush into the evil traffic as soon as the legal age limit was reached. But now they must go out of their under special entitlement to come in contact with the demon of drink. The wiser heads know at the time of the passage of the law that it would not be immediately enforceable. The generation that had beaten it would have to die out before the reform would become fully effective. The enforcement of the eighteenth amendment is testing the American people more seriously than any other in the foundation of the government. The respect of law lies at the basis of all constituted order. The people may outgrow a law and let it fall into harmless disuse. They may be enforcement by indirection made in compliance in the case of the fourthenth and fifteenth amendments. But in all such cases the violation is accompanied with some measure of shame in terms of conscience. South Every revised constitution of the Southern states intended to protect the Civil War Amendments acknowledges their validity by seeming conformity with their exactions. Vice pays a homage to virtue when it bows to its superiority in princlivity. Vice persists in its perversion in practice. Men have violated the Ten Commandments every hour since their birth, but at the same time they feel guiltiness of conscience at each violation. But with the eighteenth century, not only do the hawkbreakers violate the law, but they justify the illegal deed. If this practice is allowed to conform to respect for law, when the fabric of the order weakens the weak people are always the chief sufferers. The stronger element of society can be weakened by the law is the bulwark of defence of the weak. Therefore it behooves the weaker race to uphold the law the full strength of its integrity. The Volested Act. Act is not a part of vision for putting the law into effect. But the issue has been drawn. The law and the drive. There are. Newspapers Object Moral Question Pulpit Silent Wiser Heads Volstead Act Not An Amendment Had the matter of light wine and beers been the first step towards restricting the liquor, the right to drink it have well been it their support. But the bottle line has been drawn at the Volstead Act. it must be fought out, and the law should be made this at this time under pressure of threats of open violators of the law would be equivalent to compromising with evil. It is always changed by a moral issue. We should never lower the standard to suit the practice, but raise the practice to the requirements of the standard. Theories There are two theories of the Constitution. The effervescent idea was human constitution waggedly, a contemporary demand of the generation enacting it and that it should be re-enacted. According to this idea the document would have only the force and effect of a statute passed by the legislature. It would need shift with the shifting exigencies of time and circumstances. There could be no reversal. There is uncertainty about such an instrument. Sacred Document The other theory is that the constitution is a sacred document which expresses the loftiest conception and the most fundamental principle. It deals only those broad basic principles which are permanent in their effect and influence. It becomes a matter of the document and obeyed. Like the Ten Commandments, it is hardly to be modified to meet every gust of popular sentiment, but stands through the ages. From the latter point of view, which has become the dominant principle of the document far between, the document should never be amended except when some new moral principle makes the excerpt of its original intention inevitable. War Amendments The three war amendments were but the fulfillment of the original meaning and purpose of the constituent document of our national life made inevitable. Nor should any principle or practice however worthy be added to the constitution with the approval of an overwhelming majority of the people. This majority should not be the autocrats of some hardy propaganda or emojo-istic populism, but collectively derived with assurance of its permanent duration. Referendum We have seen such measures as the initiative, referendum and re-creation of the law, and people as result of some emotional movement or eloquent presentation. Even though such measures might be less significant of the people, they they imbbed in the Constitution until they have been thoroughly infiltrated by the will of the people and experience of the people alone should furnish assurance that they would be easily enforced and part of the organic law of the land. It Is The Law It cannot be said that the Eleventh Amendment was passed with deliberate intent. It was pushed through the manner of its enactment has much to do with the matter of its enforcement. But however this might be the case, the Negro must be enforced or the sanction of all law will be weakened. The Negro has most at stake, and should be enforced as the principle even if the whites should. By A. C. Gordon 1. What bird can outswim the fish? 2.

E. ARCHITECT Court Inspects Husband's Home And Decides It Is Comfortable ALEXANDRIA, VA. — The suit of Mrs. Josephine Lankford Johnson, of 1489 Q street, northwest, Washington, D.C., for a divorce from Mr. Johnson, a chiropractic, was dismissed by Judge Smith, before whom the case was heard in the City Court of Alexandria last Thursday and Decision on the cross bill filed by Dr. Johnson was reserved, the Judge indicating that it was his belief that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson would effect a reconciliation if not divorced. Mr. Johnson is Mrs. Johnson is the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. J. A. Lankford. Prof. Lankford is an architect and is widely known in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Johnson flies to suit for a divorce on January 16, 1920. She claimed that her husband had failed to furnish her a home in keeping with her station in life and contributed nothing to her support. Dr. Johnson lives and has his offices at 1205 Cameron street. His home is modest but nicely furnished, with a large suite, which is at the home of Mrs. Johnson's parents, Dr. Johnson states. Dr. Johnson denied that he had failed to furnish a suitable home. He filled a cross bill charging her with desertion, saying that on a half dozen occasions at least one of his sisters shared with him his home. He asked for a divorce and custody of their prospective child. The hearing last Thursday and Friday, he showed that a second child, little Fannie Johnson, was born in Paducah, Ky, and was brought to Washington about a month ago and was removed from the second floor room at 1209 Sixth Street, northwest, to the Childrens Hospital, April 14, last, with bronchial penumonia, but is much improved now and is expected to n denying Mrs. Johnson's petition for a divorce, Judge Smith stated that it appeared that the suit was brought by parents of Mrs. Johnson. Judge Johnson said that the couple suspected the home of Dr. Johnson and that it met all the requirements of a comfortable home. He found that she had no grounds for a d trial, and that those young people would get off at the door they would probably get together and work out their own salvation. For this reason a decree on the original bill of Dr. Johnson was left in the possession of an opportunity for a reconciliation. Says Guilty Man Needs No Lawyer Charleston. W.

She was born in a little gray house on a little back street in Catonsville. The street went up in times when she showed smiles mothed as if if the little gray house must come sliding down into the bottom of the valley. And it did. And it also gripped in the street so hard, soooo, although it was the finest of little houses. Bells called it the hornets' nest, because it was little and buzzy with hair and a face that kept the whole Lowden family laughing and guessing. There were seven boys older than herself—she was the learned Lowden's ways rather than run jump, handle a bike, ride a horse and climb a tree. A come through these schools with her short hair, but her mother never sowed up the rents. A receiver, gentler woman never lived than Mrs. Lowden, nor a kinder, truer worker-working man than Mr. The one idea in the Lowden family was education, and the boys manned it to get high school and nonschool education, and them to good starts in life. Unfortunate circumstances right along with her demands—the Lowden children came close together and there were two pairs of twins—and the boys not got where they were, so she helped them what she could. Mr. Lowden was beginning to get old, Mrs. Lowden had had to have an operation, and it looked like I Hollis, as the girl, became the housekeeper manager to the exhibition. But Hollis studied every chance she got and managed to graduate in a dress that she made with her own hands. She was not pretty, but she was small, dark, vivid, with a little smile that won everybody she met. Hollis' smile was as playful and joyous and small as a candle beam, but even a candle beam can light a large region of darkness at times. The operation helped Mrs. Lowden so much that she was able to attend to her household affairs again, and the boys continued to give Hollis the wish of her heart and sent her to business school. Six month later two wonderful things happened to her. She got her first position and became engaged. quinn, her eldest brother grum blod. "What was the use of my putting two months' wages in your business education, Hollis, if you are going to burry Ted Thompson," he demands. Hollig laughed and colored. Hollis laughed men- "Well, I'm not going to marry Ted under a year and that will give me many of the money at my salary to pay me." she retorted. "As if I let you," Quinn looked ashamed. "It wasn't just that I meant. You know I—I thought Ted had good enough for a little looties eyes sobered. "Please don't go to running down my dance. He suits you through course." Hollis stumbled. "He has pretty nearly spoiled me. When it comes to picking out a husband there'll never body who has that quality, or directly—I know that, Quinn. But Ted suits me. That's the only reason I can give. No member of her really made another criticize her. They received cordially, and if sometimes Mother Lowden sighed or Fadher Lowden shook his head, they did not let Hollis know. She was earning money, she was living at home and she had Ted—Ted, who was so gay and good enough, he was known him always and loved him longer than she knew. Maybe he was a little sooty and couldn't afford to be, but he would steady out impoverished. He couldn't impower himself doing different. She began to save for her wedding outfit and the girls gave her show. And then Weoa Wicks came to town to work in the grocery store. Weoa was as brown and pretty as a carnel, as crushable as a glass of cocacola. Within a week Hollis knew that Ted would have seen her blown to atoms for Weoa's final touch, finally the engagement but she was half killed. Another week and the little diamond she had returned to Ted sparkling with her. She was looking for rooms to be in housekeeping in when Hollis left. UNION MAN --- ```markdown ``` for Philadelphia. She had given up her job because she couldn't stay on and look on at Ted's happiness with Weona. She thought her husband, her faith, that were shattered. Still, what was the sense in letting font know how you felt? There was her great granddaughter, burning death in her bosom for eightteen years—and had smiled over it. This wasn't much worse. Hollis' new job was in the office of a firm of lawyers at a salary twice as high as at home. She lived with an old friend of her mother's, a kindly elderly woman, who aside from Mrs. Lovden was perhaps the best company in the other girls in the office—there were eight—she held aloof. They were different in every respect from herself. "I am like a partridge in a flock of canaries," she said to her husband. The two members of the firm were elderly men, who threatened the little country girl with kindly respect. There was another member whose last j died. Hie was at present. One morning he entered the office. Hollis gave him a glance and thought: "He is isocratic plain, but he is not a good man. He shall like Mr. Murray better even than I do Mr. Carter and Mr. Robbins." He liked Mr. Murray very much; he was anxious to please him; anxious to make herself useful to him. And presently she began to feel that she was not a good girl. Not just Miss Lowden who took dictation at his command; she was a girl to whom he was delicately paying attention. She asked her to lunch with him and Hollis went. Sitting together at the table, alone for the first time, she asked her to marry him. She asked her to her eyes as she turned her head. "I can't," she stammered. "—oh. I can't." There was still Ted. It did no occurence when she graved this grave, middle-aged well-to-do man asking her abruptly to be his wife. She was only sorry that she couldn't seem so earnestly to be seemed so earnestly to desire. But her negative crystallized the opinion of Roger Murray already had of her. He was lonely and lost in thought. He was an ants that waited upon him. He needed a wife. There were women he might have had, fine, beautiful appearing ladies, but this little brown boyish glimpse of her seemed to him when he turned him out of himself. He wouldn't give her up. To Mrs. Bontley's plain little apartment came wonderful gifts—orchids, baskets of candy, books. He asked him, my desk, asked Mrs. Bontley. But Hollis, continued to shake her head. Then all at once she began to feel different. When he asked her again she said, "Till go home and ask my folks. He was quick with his phone. When you and we will both ask them." So the great ask Mr. Murray came to the little house on the hill. A fall flood was in progress, but house was still standing at that time, so to stand long enough to shelter Hollis' wedding. Two months later after she returned from a southern honeymoon, she came again to see her people. Accompanied by Ted Thompson on the street. Her glance puzzled and surprised, followed Ted across her shoulder. "How has changed?" she murmured in amazement. Quinn smilingly looked down 'at the dainty, alert, radiant little figure stepping lightly beside him. "It is your choice," charged, "dear." TO A GIRL Blessings on thee, little girl, With shingle bob, must curt; Curl up, down, down, down And thy dimped knee that shows; With thy red lips redder still Kissed by lipsticks at the will; With the sunshine in the face Frown from the face its trace; From my heart I wish the well Just to be a girl I wish the well A little bit dumber Is Flor McStellar, She's heard of the bob But the dumbest of all is Miss Sarabell Dezea, She thinks he has fusses. The Afro-American—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Why Pretty? There has been a passion for thinness in America, that has so absorbed the minds of the best of our women, until it has aroused the great sources of information to take definite steps to send out information to the extent that we do not destroy our health, and, very energy, thrue and by applications of the great sources of inferior and骄傲 kind.

They seem never to grow tired of it, either, returning each morning carrying their little spades and seashells to the beach as soon as heism ever. It is always there, and its possibilities are never exhausted. The secret of the popularity of sand as a plaything is, of course, that it lends itself so readily to molding. There is nothing more useful than sand to children as the making of things and the putting into actual form the fancies and figures that their own imaginations conjure up. Children can play with sand, and costly toys to play in sand, or even in mud, for while toys may take the attention for a time, in the long run they prefer the playful, thoughtful, and engaging. This has been recognized by educators, and in most schools the sand table is one of the most important and effective pieces equipment used in sand play. Children can make mugs and diagrams, illustrate history and geography lessons, and in many ways gain a clearer and more lasting conception of their work than they can in sand play. A number of book lessons. They learn, too, the lessons of working together, of collaborating, of putting into form their own ideas, of creating the ultimate purpose of the work as it is being done by the class. Sand is also used as a plaything in the home but not to the extent that it should be. For the price of sand, it is very easy to carry an on children at Christmas time, a sand table or an outdoor sand box could be constructed and filled with sand enough to last through the whole year. The expense is concerned, it can be just about what you care to make it. One may have a bar or table that will be finished and the yard that will be filled with sand, and may make the cost run up to a high figure, but the children will not enjoy it any more than they would the plainest and easiest sandbox. The yard can be made to hold sand. A good table can be made by setting a flat box on legs of the desired height, and an outdoor garden by filling it with sand together in a square or a rectangle for a fence and using the ground for a floor. Of course all boxes and boards should be planned smooth and the sharp corners covered with The best sand to use is that known as fine beach sand, although ordinal numbers do not exist except that it is not so clean. Children, however, are not at all prejudiced against kind of sand obtainable, they should certainly not be de prived of its use. Soap and water will overcome the drawback, and the contentment and pleasure of the singer is greater. You can be the bible. You can be for a while and you will nuerest let your children be without sand to play with. Plan on the day you want to play their gift money, or some of it at least into sand and see what returns you will reap in the hours of amusement it will turnish them.

Congressman Wm. S. Vare has as his leader in Eastern Pennsylvania J. C. Ashby, former member of the legislature, and known as the shrewdest leader in political arena. Ashby with Mr. Ashbury is Ernest Wright and his organization, the United Reubican Active Workers' Association. White Leaders Offer Many Baits The Pepper crowd is becoming desperate as a result of Vare strength, which seems to be gaining pace. One of the grand stand plays that has been made is the verbal appointment of E. Washington Rhodes, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune, as assistant United States District Attorney in Philadelphia. Mr. Rhodes, admitted to the case three weeks ago, has been out by the Pepper organization as a bait for elected vote. Much excitement prevails throughout the state, as a result of the Pittsburgh Couriers' silence. It is alleged that Robert T. Vann, editor-in-chief of the Courier, has swung to the Vare "camp" as a result of Mellons' failure to make him register of the Treasury. Leaders are wondering why Mr. Vann, paper was the first to advocate "Coolidge for President," has not been influenced by Mellon's mil- hons. Charge Colored Editors Have Been "been" One of the chief topics of the day is that the colored editors have been seen. Leaders of both the Vare and Pinchot camps are charging that the Pepper leaders have bought off certain editors. Absbury Out-Smarts the Gang Pandemonium broke out in Philadelphia Thursday when it became known that W. Absbury, a veteran of many battles, was aligning the cowardly bottles behind Vare. Absbury is said to be "Worrying Judge Edward W. Henry, leader of Pinchot forces, by his shrewd system of gum-shooting throughout the wards. Vare Leaders Well Organized The great game of politics hinges on the shrewdness of the leader in the matter of organization. In this particular role, Absbury is a master of war. While Judge Henry is passing out thirty days to some law violators, Mr. Absbury is gather-ing thirty votes. Mr. Ashbury says "That why he is for Vare" is because he is the candidate of the Republican organization of Philadelphia, and that the Republican Organization of Philadelphia has served the race better than any other organization in the United States. 400 Policemen While other political organizations have favored colored men and women with more prominent and outstanding appointments, no other organization has given to the race so many and diversified appointments. Not including nurses paid School teachers, colored pointers draw annually from the Municipal Treasury more than one million dollars. There are nearly four hundred colored policemen on the force in Philadelphia which in more than all other colored policemen in the United States. The Vares have always taken the side of the colored citizens against a segregated school system. During the session of the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1925 Vare influence killed a bill which thought colored citizens of Philadelphia believed would have meant a separate segregated school system in this state. It is known that the late State Senator Edwin H. Vare broke more than twelve years ago with the District Attorney of Philadelphia, because he refused to appoint a colored assistant.

METHODISTS END CONFERENCE CHANGES FEW Rev. D. G. Hill Transferred To Ebenezer. G. W. Scott To Annapolis RESOLUTIONS PASSED ON FITCHETT CASE Rev. Frederick Douglass Among Conference Ap- HAGERSTOWN, MD. The 109th annual session of the Baltimore conference closed here Sunday night with the reading of the appointments. There were few changes. The Rev. C. E. Walden was transferred from Ebenezer, Baltimore to Kensington. The Rev. D. G. Hill was transferred from Mt. Morliah, Annapolis to Ebenezer. The Rev. G. W. Scott was sent to Mt. Morliah, Annapolis. The Rev. J. M. Harrison the only candidate admitted to the ministry at the session was sent to Wayman, Baltimore. Rev. J. G. Martin was sent from Handy to Carroll and Rev. W. O. Snowden to Ct. Md. The Rev. A. J. Ward was sent to Pocomoke, Md., taking the place of the late Rev. J. H. Fitchett. Douglass Case Apparently the conference recognized the Rev. Frederick Douglass, pastor of what was formerly Cosmopolitan Community A. M. E. church, as a regular member. Evidently the Rev. Mr. Douglass changed his mind about entering the conference because at Silhon Baptist church nearly a year ago, declared the church would be independent, lest if he should join the conference, the bishop would have the right to remove him and send him elsewhere at the end of five years. Many of the members of Cosmopolitan Church are former members of Bethel A. M. E. Church. $10,000 Raised The conference raised $19,000. A resolution was passed deprecating the fact that no more news of the cause of the death of the Rev. J. H. Fitzlett could be discovered. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, who presided; Bishop W. D. Johnson, of Texas, and Bishop A. L. Gaines. Bishops in attendance included The Rev. Charles H. Young, 80, retired member of the conference and president of the ministerial Relief, was prevented from attending by illness. It was the first conference he has missed in 63 years. The Rev. M. W.

Thought He Lost $500, Dr. E. N. Thomas had one bad hour Thursday of last week when in counting up the conference funds he found himself $500 short. Dr. Thomas has handled conference money for nine years without any difficulty, but when he found $500 missing the bottom seemed to drop out of the room, running money. I ever carefully and when a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN entered the room greenbacks were piled high on one of the church benches, but the Rev. Thomas could not find one package containing $400 of large donations running to $500. I find it right on that table there, he said, "and when I turned around it was gone." After he had searched high and low for an hour, he reported his loss to a member of the finance committee. One of them had seen the money being guarded in the room and had put it away for safe keeping. Baltimore District Rev. P. J. Jordan, Presiding Elder. Bethel—Rev. C. H. Stopteau. Trinity—Rev. W. H.

Sampson Brooks, touring this state in the interest of his work in Liberia, West Africa, in speaking here paid his respects to the Rev. E. H. Colt, Home and Foreign Missionary Secretary of the A. M. E. Church. Bishop Brooks called attention to the invitations broadcast throughout the country to the official opening and dedication of the Home of the missionary department at 13 W. 108th Street, New York City, at 11 a. m., May 10, 1926. "While the missionary department is spending its funds for new buildings in America, West African missionaries are starving. Since being sent to Africa, I am cent from Dr. Colt for my work in West Africa. I do not know how to account for the attitude. "How he can expect to collect continually from the church and not pay the missionaries and still maintain his credit as a minister in good health. His church is a question I cannot solve." Bishop Brooks will spend the touring Arkansas for ten days. Among Churches BIG ZION A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Pennsylvania Avenue, near Dolphin Street Restaurant, 11 W. Lacy, P. F. M. Restaurant at 11 W.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Sunday, May 2nd: GOD'S COVE NANT WITH NOAH.—Genels 5:28 to 9:28. And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him saying, and I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your mind after you; and with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more of the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you, and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a covenant over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the Bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may be between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the establishment between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

I can suit you. Mr. prices make it expensive to go elsewhere when you need an undertaker. "Wright Quality" There is no great demand for labor in Philadelphia, according to Forrester B. Washington, Executive Secretary of the Armstrong Association, affiliated with the National Urban League. Says Mr. Washington: Owing to retrenchment in the production of basic materials, especially of iron and steel, and a similar decrease in locomotive and ship building employment is in the condition which is technically described as "spotted." In other words, employers are hiring men on a short time basis only as production demands require. Types Of Employment Industrial opportunities for Negrees are chiefly at present of the unskilled variety, such as common labor on street railway construction, in subway now under construction, in the buildings for the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition, and in building construction. Factory and foundry labor is in very little demand with a plentiful supply of such labor on hand. About the only type of Negro mechanics who are finding fairly regular employment with good wages at the present time are building mechanics, especially on non-union operations. As it is to be expected, colored women in demand as domestics, especially those with some training and experience. There is another type of employment in which an increasing number of colored women and girls are being used. This is the garment trades, in which they are being employed both as power machine operatives and pressers. Very few colored women and girls are employed as saleswomen, as millers and factories as operatives or in offices as clerical assistants. Unemployment Owing to the large influx of Negro migrants during the past few years, there has been created in Philadelphia a surplus of Negro labor of all kinds, which is not fully utilized at any time. The reduction of working forces in the steel mills, locomotive works and shipyards has operated to increase this surplus, as a great many cases, who were employed to above named industries have been released. Housing Conditions For the lower wage earning class of Negroes housing conditions are not good. Rents are very high, and as a consequence, there has been a great overcrowding in the section of the city where this class of people live. Panicles of five or six people frequently occupy one or two rooms. The number of the lower wage earning class are forced to live in houses which are unsanitary and not provided with decent toilet, or water fixtures. There are few, if any, new houses for Negro occupants of any class. On the other hand, many Negroes who can afford to buy have been able to purchase homes vacated by white people who are moving into the new real estate developments in the suburbs of Philadelphia.

ADDING MACHINE IS A REAL WONDER The readers of this newspaper will note a large advertisement in this issue setting forth the merits of the vest pocket, size of the Baby Calculator, an adding machine which is considered the last word in things of this sort. It is not only a lightning fast and accurate adding device but it also subtracts, multiplies and divides and does all the work that adding machines costing hundreds of dollars will do and then some. It is so cheap that it can truly be classed as "within the price of all" and at the same time it is practically indestructible, carrying a five year guarantee against getting out of order or being called upon to "figure" from time to time will find it the greatest protection against errors, through which fact the device will save its own price many times over. The machine itself cannot make a difference to the manne in which it is made instantaneous totals is actually sturdy. The size of the Calculator should alone make it popular. It can be carried in the vest pocket or in Milady's purse. it is less than one third of an inch in thickness, and weighs about four ounces.

EARNS MILLIONS PAYS PITTANCE Celler Resolution Proposes Investigation Of Poor Wages Paid Porters 60 YEAR DIVIDENDS EQUAL $269,500,000 Profits Derived From Porter's Services Who Earn $75 A Month WASHINGTON, D. C. Representative Emanuel Celler, Democrat, of New York, introduced a resolution in the House, Monday, proposing an investigation by the House committee on labor of wages, hours and conditions of employment of Pullman porters and maids. The resolution also proposes an investigation of the financial history and conditions of the Pullman Company as they affect wages, and conditions of employment with a view to preventing exploitation of Pullman porters and maids and their receiving wages commensurate with their services. The Celler resolution would empower the House committee on labor to sweep witnesses and take testimony in the District of Columbia and other parts of the country. The preamble of the resolution declares that the Pullman company engages actively in the sale of services especially that of its porters and maids, from which it derives its profits. It sets forth that it is claimed by those engaged in an attempt to unionize Pullman porters that wages are at a miserable level and conditions and hours of employment are such as to menace health and efficiency. Mills in Dividends The earnings and profits of the Pullman Company are cited. The preamble to the resolution declares that the Pullman Company began business in 1867 with a capitalization of $32,300,000, to which no cash capitalization has since been added, and the company now claims a capitalization of $135,000,000. The sum total dividends since its incorporation has to over $260,500,000 and stock dividends of $64,000,000. The gross revenue of the Pullman Company in the last ten years, the resolution recites, was $90,131,319, of which $83,927,749 was from sleep ing and kindred services, and its $16,103,570 was from sleeping car and kindred services alone. Little Consideration Mr. Celler said that the Pullman porter "is given little sleep on his long trips and must spend from five to ten hours making and cleaning berths for which he receives no compensation whatsoever. Homes Ar Only when they have be can get beautiful furniture The Afro Court Reporter After waiting for weeks for her brother, David Ford, to refund $18 he had stolen from her, Mrs. Edna Murphy, 1036 Argyle avenue, took the matter in her own hands and asked the Magistrate in the Northwestern police station to issue a warrant for his arrest. "And if I do," said the Magistrate, "when the time comes to prosecute him you will refuse to do it." "No, your honor, I am tired of fooling with him and want you to send him just as far as you can." Saturday morning Ford was arraigned and Mrs. Murphy very positively told how he had broken open her drawer and taken her hard earnings. "I'll see if I can give him three months in the penitentiary," said the Magistrate. "But, your honor, I don't want him sent to jail; see if it can't be arranged for him to pay me back." "There," said the Magistrate, "I told you yesterday that when the time came you would change your mind. Now I will postpone the case for one month, giving him a chance to pay the money back. If he doesn't the next time he comes he better wear his jailhouse clothes because that is where he is going." Jessie Brown sure made a big mistake when he called a policeman for protection in front of the New Albert Auditorium Friday night. "What's the trouble?" ask the patrolman, rushing to the scene. Why," said Brown, "there is a stranger there threatening to shoot me." The stranger was soon collared and searched for a revolver he had none. "Officer, that man did have a gun because he went in his back pocket just like this and drew it out and pointed the gun. But the officer to the word. So engrossed he in giving his demonstration of how he was attacked that he did not notice what he drew from his pocket to represent a pistol. The officer did, however. It was a razor. "Your honor," he told the Magistrate in the Northwestern next month, "I don't know how that got in my pocket." "Well," said the Magistrate, "If you don't know where you are going to get $10 I am afraid you are going to stay in jail for a few days." Bad liquor and gasoline don't mix, Neither do midnight lunches, police and wet concrete. William Carter, 30. 304 Princeton street, found out all of these things when he was arraigned for reckless driving Thursday night. Carter was employed to wash cabs by one of the taxi companies when about 12 M. he became hungry and manned one of the vehicles and drove out to get something to eat. Carter had taken a few drinks before he started or not but it was certain that the cab he was driving took a mighty wobbly course. In fact, he was so wobbly that two patrolmen took after the auto on a run, and on the side Carter steered his cab into a plot of newly laid cement and jostled the minions of the law into the ally substance ruining the appearance of their nice blue uniforms. In spite of Carter's contention (possibly he was nevertheless held for the Traffic Court for reckless driving.

(ANP)—Thomas Shankle, father of 14, was convicted of incest here last week. He has been married twice. Eight of the children are girls. Investigation was handled by Lawrence A. Oxley, state social worker. His records show that from earliest childhood the father has had incestuous relations with all his daughters. Shankle's method was to begin by swearing each child to secrecy, so that none of the children knew that their father was having improper relations with any other member of the family. Later it became known, however, that for years Shankle was just one mother, in the presence of the others, and that he has also committed the most revolting acts of sodomy on his daughters, as well as his-second wife. The case proved difficult to handle because of the fact that Shankle had much influence among white people in Concord and the surrounding region. Our investigations were unsuccessful because of the father's influence in the community. Players Wanted The Baltimore Cubs are anxious to sign five players and two pitchers of 40 and 50.
