FAVOR WELLER TO BEAT COL. HILL TUESDAY Present U. S. Senator Certain Victor In G. O. P. Primary THREE CANDIDATES FOR LEGISLATURE Berry, Davenport, Briscoe Have Weller Okey For Lower State Body Senator Ovington E. Weller, is favored to defeat Colonel John Philip Hill for the United States Senate in the Republican primary Tuesday. Senator Weller has not only control of the city and the State Central Committees, which constitute the organization throughout the State, but the Senator has lost no time since Congress ended, several weeks ago, in building up a strong organization behind the State. The great mass of the clergy in Baltimore city and in the counties have practically been forced into the Weller camp by the outspoken attitude of Colonel Hill on the prohibition question. Colonel Hill is deemed the sweetest of the clergy" and on the floor of the house urged the repeal of the dry amendment and the passage of new legislation to supersede the Volstead act. Colonel Hill made a number of enemies when he lined up with Democrats in the House this year to impose the siphonage bill. He was on the 372nd Infantry, colored troops. Colonel Hill was a member of the battle monument commission and argued that already sufficient recognition had been given to soldiers in the tablets placed upon monuments already erected in France. Political Suicide Politicians downtown point out that Colonel Hill's candidacy at this time is practically political suicide. As Republican congressman from the Second District, he could have been relected almost indefinitely. The district is ordinarily the party that, but deceived he would have won out with ease. Instead of seeking to go back to Congress, he chose to lock horns in the primary with the State's only Republican Senator, thereby arousing one of the bitterest party contests in the country, instead of into Republican representatives in Congress, winning without trouble, both seats are in jeopardy. Hawkins for Weller One of the surprising things of the campaign is that W. Ashleigh Hawkins, one of Senator Weller's opponents six years ago, are now running for the U. S. Senate, came out last week in the APRO in a statement supporting the senator for re-election. Three Candidates for Legislature Another master stroke on the part of Senator Weller and his friends, was the placing of three candidates in the field on the Weller ticket for legislature. All are in the third District, John Bolis II. Davenport, John Pearl and Arthur Briscoe. Mr. Davenport is a Pennsylvania avenue business man. Mr. Berry is a special representative of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company in the State, and Mr. Briscoe is a practicing attorney. The Hill ticket has no colored members for Legislature. In the same district are nine white candidates for Legislature. Only six can be elected out of the twelve persons who have filed. Fourth District voters point out that the colored group is, entitled to three members, and that the State Senate also, due to the fact that the whites number only 40 per cent of the Republican voters. Committeemen Walter S. Emerson is expected to have an easy time to defeat Everett E. Lane for committeeman from the 43rd ward, and in October 1918 John B. Hancock is expected to win over Charles Hall. Annapolis for Weller A poll of Annapolis and surrounding districts, show that Anne Arundel County is heavily for Weller. Jernahawk, Hawkins, of Prince Georges, who formerly is said to have been neutral, is now believed also herer. Organization-sentiment predominate also in Frederick and Hagerstown. COLUMBIA, S.

Photo by Penn Studio. WASHINGTON, D. C.— The resignation of the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood as United States minister to Liberia has been accepted, the State Department announced last week. A successor has not yet been chosen. This exclusive dispatch was carried last week only in the AFRO-AMERICAN. I'll health is given as the cause for the resignation of Mr. Hood. Prior to returning to the United States, he is said to have had several fainting spells in Monrovia. Inadequate salary is also ascribed as a cause by those who have lived conditions in Liberiaian capital. $5,000 Salary The salary of the United States minister to Liberia is only $3,000 a year, which is $5,000 less than is paid to any other minister of the United States, with the salary to $10,900 a year failed to be passed in the last session of Congress. According to Joseph C. Grew, acting secretary of State, With the exception of theigner being even higher than it is in the United States, it is impossible for the American minister, unless he be a man of large means, to meet the requirements of diplomatic service, and the salary now granted to the post." Aside from all this, the AFRO has learned that certain personal considerations, made it advisable for Mr. Obama to West Africa, and so he resigned. The Rev. Solomon Porter Hood was appointed the United States minister to Liberia on October 26, 2014, to late President Warren G. Harding. 73 Years Old M. Hood is 73 years old. The feeling in Liberia is that the government has a man of this age to cope with a tropical climate, and that a younger man, married, and with a business training, has been selected. Hood is a widower. WASHINGTON, D.

Tennis Stars G Brown Via W Tennis Stars Got Revenge On Brown Via Water Bucket ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Tennis stars in the national tournament of the Amateur League, who have their revenge upon Edgar Brown, national singles-champion in 1923. After winning the tennis crown that year, Brown made a tour of the country, playing in the principal offices of the tennis association in which he referred to his opponents as "pat ball artists," and "chop stroke advocates," declaring that the champion should be held in Richards and Williams, was the only kind of tennis for our athletes to play. Not satisfied with criticizing the players, he also criticized the national officials and was suspended for one year. He made an attempt to come back in 1925 at Bordentown, defeated by Ted Thompson in the semifinals. This year at St. Louis he was defeated by Eyre Satch, who won the national championship. Ted Thompson, 1925 champion, paired with Satch, defeated Brown and Hudin in the national tournament, the last day of the tourney, before a big crowd. BIRTHS DEATHS PENNSYLVANIA YORK, PA. The Afro-American South's Biggest and Best Weekly PORTO RICAN LABORERSMEET DIXIE REBUFF Unions Protest When 1. 500 Are Imported For Arizona 2500 COTTON PICKERS ARE NEEDED THERE Previous Unportation Of Mexicans And Orientals Failed BY GEORGE PERRY PHOENIX, ARIZ. (PCN B)—The labor situation in the cotton生产 states of the South-west has reac- ched the critical point of choosing between using Black American labor or the less efficient Mexican from our sister Republic. With a bumper crop in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California, thousands of harvest hands must be secured. Hours, sheer quantities , heretofore the chief sources of labor supply, have been driven away thru the strict enforcement of the anti-alien laws. It is not a sufficient quantities due to the United States immigration laws Seeking Solutions A solution in the Mexican situation is being sought thru an attempt to set aside the present immigration restrictions imposed by the Mexican labor to be imported across the border under the condition that they are to be returned after the harvest. A bill to this extent will be introduced in the next California leg. Porto Bicans Enter Porto Ricans. Another situation is the attempt of the Arizona Cotton Growers Association to import 1500 Porto Ricans and their families into the State. In 1970, where there exists a shortage of 2,500 cotton pickers, Claiming that the Porto Ricans being cultivated are barred by Federal immigration restrictions, a shipload of Porto Ricans is being brought in by the Association. They are active within a short time. Labor Organizations Protest. The labor organizations of the Southwest have filed a lawsuit claiming that their importation, claiming that their use in the Southwest cotton fields will lower the scale of cotton fields where American labor could get compensation. Black Americans Solution The bankers, railroads, merchants and moneyed interests are gradually becoming the only real solution to the problem is to populate the various communities in the cotton districts with a number of producing black American farmers.

Brown thereupon held the match until a bottle was secured. At the next opportunity Ted Thompson turned up the water bucket and drained it. He was surprised as much as he disliked drinking after anyone, the visits to the water bucket still went on. At the next opportunity Ted Thompson was given the water bucket while the gallery roared.

In addition, whereas no white man was lynched in 1925 there have been two lynchings already during the current year, and one more far this year are Florida with five lynchings, and Mississippi with four.

BUT SIX RACE CHILDREN IN GARRET COUNTY 25,592 CHILDREN IN COUNTY SCHOOLS Attendance In Alleghany And Talbot Ahead Of Baltimore City There are but six race children attending the public schools of Garret County, according to the State Superintendent of Education. These six children are scattered throughout the school system. It was learned by the AFRO-AMERICAN, there are 2000 whites in the schools of the county. Attendance Gains For the first time in the history of the State, the average daily attendance reached 50 per cent. It was 84.1 per cent, and an advance of 1.3 per cent over 1924. There were, according to the schoolensus, taken by teachers in November, 1934, a total of 50,132 children under 19 years of age. Of these, 30,132 were between the compulsory attendance ages of 7 and 16 years. In all of the public schools of the State of Baltimore City and Garrett County, 25,592 children were attending. A total of 13.1 per cent of children of school age were men, and a greater increase of 3.591 for the period from 1920 to 1925, and of 408 over 1924. State officials express themselves as being highly pleased with these increases. A average daily attendance for white is 7.1 per cent greater than the average for colored, while the number of those not in school is 4.7 per cent greater. The differences, the chief ones being that colored children are frequently widely scattered, and often live at greater distances from their schools than do other children. Allegheny Leads In the matter of average daily attendance, Alleghany County, with 234 children enrolled, ranked second in enrollment, the county, ninth in enrollment, had the poorest attendance average, 68 per cent. Talbot County, with the highest average attendance, Shore, was second with 89.9 per cent. The Counties of Alleghany and Talbot both led Baltimore City in this respect for the years ending in 1924 to 1928. Two counties, both on the "Western Shore," had over 2000 children enrolled. Worcester, Wicomico, SL, have over 2,524. Ten other counties have over 1000, namely, Somerset, Baltimore, Worcester, Montgomery, Dorchester, Wicomico, SL, St. Louis, and Baltimore. The total number of children enrolled in the nine counties of the "Eastern Shore" was 12,013; in the fourteen western counties there were 899. 12.

Dabney In Ukraine Tells How White Unions Here Bar Blacks SOVIETS INTERESTED IN OUR PROBLEMS Afro Correspondent Quiz- ed On Intermarriage and Wages By THOMAS L. DABNET With American Student Delegation Ahead KHARLOR, UKRAINE, Russian Republic, (By Mail)—The same interest which Russian students in all of the cities of the Soviet Union have exhibited in the race problem in America was manifested by the students in and around Kharlor which our delegation has met. I was particularly fortunate in meeting several Ukrainian students who speak English and one who speaks French. We had a long conversation together. Being interested in the problems of American workers, they first asked me about the relations of white and Negro workers in America. "Are white workers friendly toward Negro workers?" one student asked me. When I explained the situation in Ameri—of Chicago, Illinois in 1919—Carteret, New Jersey in 1926, and other cities, the students were aghast. **Contempt to the race** Our purpose of the race problem and the labor movement precipitated the question of the policy of the American Federation of Labor. Just as I expected, I found little more than concern for the American Federation of Labor. To the Russian and Ukrainian students the policy of the Federation toward the Negro is not only unwise but stupid. I should not allow the Royal Pay Question Asked. The students were eager to know whether Negro workers doing the same kind of work as white workers received the same pay. They asked the students if there was an opportunity to prepare for and to enter the skilled trades. All there were almost no Negroes in Russia with the exception of a few students and members of the theatrical troupes. I did run one of their working in a factory in Kharkov. Intermarriage For the first time during our trip in Russia, I was asked questions at Kharkov relative to the intermarriage between Ukrainian students inquired whether Negroes could marry white women in America. Again I had a long story to tell covering all the imbecilities connected with the Nordic propaganda of the Nazis. I was asked by Bernie Cox and John Powell. My narration was most amusing to the students. Just why American whites should labor so assiduously to preserve the racial integrity of the so-called was beyond the Ukrainian students.

OF US ARE MIXED Race Has Good Start, He Says, Towards Absorption Into White Group 2000 EXAMINED IN HARLEM AND HOWARD New Negro Physically Different From Either African Or White NEW YORK, (NAACP Press Service)—Writing in the September Number of Current History Magazine, Melville Herskovitz of the Anthropology Department of Columbia University, reports that a new physical type of Negro is being developed in the United States. Mr. Herskovitz arrived at his conclusion after an examination of 2,000 individuals in Harlem and at Howard University. The results indicate that the U. S. Census figures which state that 20 per cent of American Negroes are militate, understate the amount of mixture which has gone on, and the results oblige the majority of the mixture to have probably 50 per cent had mixed ancestry. This figure might be slightly reduced. Mr. Herskovitz states, because his measurements were undertaken in the The new type disclosed by the measurements is tending to become a stable one, he believes, because pressure against associating with the members of oppose groups among both Negroes and whites, North and South. Mr. Herskovzzi instances that African children conducted in Harlem which showed that in only 7 cases out of 500 were the fathers allied to be white. Mr. Herskovzzi, who adds that the measurements occupies a position between the African and the white man, concludes as follows: On the face of the results which have been found from this study, it must be confessed, barely graftes the surface of this field: it seems that from now on we shall have to think of the American race, which there has been mixed a small amount of white blood, a mixture which is still continuing and that will continue long enough finally the Negro into the dominant white population. We must think rather in terms of this New Negro, with his relat- tions and relatively stabilized type, who has solved the business of living in this American culture, and who, with his start fairly well, will press on in the Amer- can community as a full-fledged member of it.

Miller's Red Hot Mamma featuring Miss Gertrude Saunders and Gallie Do Gas. This show, according to reports does not reach the standard attained by the new version of "models of 27" or Blue-Moon, but for an all-star aggregation it has no equal. His gross receipts having broken all records in New York last week. He was shocked at the boldness displayed in the show, but yet seemed pleased with the pop and novelty of the Bed-Bit and doctor scene. Don't get the impression that this show is week of his songs or dancing with the pop and novelty of the Star of Dixie To Broadway, who turned a loose will take down any audience with his versatile entertaining. A group of chorus boys make a novelty back-ground and of course Gordon Wilson, a Baltimore chap stands out as a tap dancer. Billy Andrews, who is no newcomer aby assisted by Miss Marion Bradford, is able to put over a dose of steroids to help her easily swallowed in large doses. To look at that chap smile while he works one would think that there was no worries attached to the situation. Although assigned to light duties there is Wesley Hill, who can play the part of an old man as nobody else can. I have seen Hill in quite a few character roles and each was perfectly perceptible, only as an old man. This veteran quisite. Then too Anchie Cross, the silver tenor tenor has been allotted an old man role and plays it to perfection. Alonzo Fenderson his aunt to do as the doctor, who is a tool in the hands of the Red Hot Mama. Percy Colson has not lost any of the melodiousness of his voice, and soaked and dueted his way in and out. For comedy this show is a wow. Miss Saunders as the red hot mama, vamps both of the old men, the doctor, Percy, two cops, the male audience and I noticed a couple newspaper net that seemed well pleased. In the open Alice Gorgas as the dejected wife of the doctor stages a realistic fight with Miss Saunders, reminding me very much of the Alice play in "Runnin' Wild," as the Widow Green, has returned as a modern wife and keeps the folks in an uproar with her funny antics. Galle De Guston A. W. Woolley makes mate for Galilee De Guston. Jack is funny and as an executor of the flying Charleston that he brought from down south he is a riot. Truly, Galilee does not need any one to set the pace for him, as he is an A. consultant. The show of the show is Gertrude Saunders, the name alone means a packed house. Some will get vexed with her holdiness, but see any of the several shows on Broadway that revolve around sex and you will congratulate Miller. recommend all but that group, and joy-Killers. The word wants pep and in "Red Hot Mama" there is plenty of pep. The C J. C. Cremans, Prep.

The lineup is composed of Bennett Carter, alto saxophone clarinet and oboe; saxophone tenor; tenor saxophone and clarinet; Horace Holmes, trumpet; Tony Ladnier, trumpet; Lawrence Costner, tuba; Clarence Holiday, banjo; Walter Johnson, piano; Walter P. Johnson, drums, and Billy Fowler, saxophones and reeds. Like the rest of the noted musical groups, we find ten premier musicians where we have performed thirty instruments, besides being able to do some real vocal harmonizing. Up from the Everglades of Pensacola, Florida came Billy Fokker, to be raised in and around Akron and Columbus, Ohio, and nothing would be better than one of the foremost jazz bands of the day. After hearing the band perform at the Club Alabam in New York one will readily agree that Mr. Fowler's dream has become a realization. The band has been featured with Willie Davis, the band of the Orchestra, Keith Vaudeville, Club Tokio, La Petite Grill, Cinderella Ballroom, Everglade Club, Club Alabam, and broke all records for a continuous run at the Strand Ride. After filling a day in Newark, New Jersey, the band will return to New York, where they will be a nightly feature of the Club Cameo. The orchestra has Charlene Holiday, a former Baltimoreian, who had not been here in fifteen years, the two highest salaried musicians, Tommy Carter being the proprietor of a prominent Nite Club in Boston, and himself conductor of an orchestra: Bennett Carter, former Wilberforce student, and a member of the Ten Collegeus Orchestra, composed by the late Frank Holmes, who was a former member of Silas Carter's Blue Plane Radio Stars. Sheftell's Tour Joe Shettell opens a five weeks' engagement in Sydney, Australia, next month. Shettell and his revue plan a complete trip around the world before returning to New York. In Shettell's company are Bob Willis and Jeff McCann. Dick Saunders, Helen Wright, Dempsei Woodson, Bee Saunders and Marle Woods. In our review, last week, of "Shufflin' Sam," the name of Miss Gegrette Walker should have been listed as the strutter instead of Miss Jackle Chambers.

SHUFFLIN' SAM OPEN SEASON AT 'GIBSON'S' Coming to this city direct from the larger cities in the east, which include New York, "Shuffin' Sam From Alabam," the season's greatest musical comedy hit, is playing Gibson's Theatre, Broad at Lombard streets. Never in the history of the theatricals has an attraction like "Shuffin' Sam From Alabam," caused such a fascination and musical comedy hit as a attraction produced by the eastern Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Washington, Baltimore, and New York City. It is the largest musical comedy entourage—the finest costumed musical in America, mounted with a wonderful scene production, carrying its own augmented orchestra, featuring popular comedians, Nay Brothers, with a supporting cast the pick of colored artists. What is said by eastern cities as being the most beautiful and fastest stepping chorus of Creole belles, is also one of the big outstanding features. The original number one company with the same here and it will present "Shuffin' Sam From Alabam." In its entirety and just as it was presented in New York City. S. H. Dudley Here S. H. Dudley, veteran star and producer, is appearing in person at the Lincoln Theater, beginning Labor Day, with the all race picture, "Easy Money." Dudley has contracted to produce four new photoplays, one of them a tenel feature, the biggest and most spectacular production ever attempted. Easy Money" is the brightest and most exciting comedy drama of the year. The story is by J. Rufus Brown, and tells the story of a poor man whose girl was being courted by a wealthy admirer. Disgrace, the most of all, the poor man exposed the plot and became the man of the hour. Then he turns the tables and wins back his sweetheart. In the cast are S. H. Dudley, the mule, H. L. Pryor, Inez Clough, Edna Morton, Alex Shannon and Percy Ver- McGarr's "Ragtime Steppers" are the legitimate attraction.

In Musical Revue ATLANTIC CITY. — The Little Jackson girls of Baltimore, Md. were in a musical recital at H. E. Church, Arctic Ave. Friday day. Along The White Way By MAYBELLE CHEW The White Way is blazing this week with the opening of the Palace, featuring the "Seven-Eleven" company in "Watermelons," the Whitman Sisters at the Regent, Joe Clark's joy makers at the Royal, together with an all-colored picture, Baltimoreans may for a white pick and choose their theatr "Body and Soul" Of course, the picture is the "thing" at the Royal, Oh, boy! If some of the Reverends could see how Micheaux pictures the harm done by that Jack-leg Preacher, but, of course, they wouldn't go near it, of course, in Baltimore, of course, in Baltimore the women don't buy the Reverend suits, feed them on chicken dinners, hang on their slightest word and force their daughters on their attentions. Oh! No. So it wouldn't worry them. "Body and Soul are the picture of culture of mankind," indeed. If in the end it had not proved to be a dream I know the audience couldn't have stood it. In fact some of them were talking out loud to the picture, tearfully and wryly. And this, who called himself "The Black Deliverer," surely created havoc in the life of the trusting "Sis Martha Jane," and retribution followed surely and swiftly. The picture was well acted, especially the part of the minister, which was played by Paul Robeson, and the Makers were pretty good, but there seemed to me to be some quality lacking. Whitman Sisters After seeing the Whitman Sisters' show at the Regent I discovered what it was. It was team work. The comedians in Joe Clark's company were the whole show. Everything centered around them. They hogged attention in every scene, and as it would have taken superior artists to stand out against them, the show dragged and lacked pep. The artists as they are, the Whitman Sisters allowed every body in their show a little place in the spotlight, and as they are all up on theiroes getting ready for their European trip, the show moved like the proverbial greased lightning. I noticed that instead of dressing the person who had a song in a different costume as other shows have done, the man Sisters had some of the same colors. It avoided clashing of colors and likewise that "individual stellarism." To me it showed that the Whitman Sisters placed art first and were big enough to realize that their work, and not their costume, was never ruined by those insidious things, lack of co-operation and professional jealousy, and no manager ought to sacrifice the good of the show for personal vanity. Bandeau Held by Faith In one scene of the Clark show they chose those tiny bandeau across the bust and tried to hold them on by faith. Straps were non-existent. Instead of looking attractive they bordered on the vulgar. "Concealment is the greatest charm, and too much is like too much of anything else, boring. In the Whitman show every dress went up to the neck in front and exposed the backs. Now, backs are a novelty. Legs, arms and hips are no longer a novelty, and good girls like too much of anything else, how girls also wore hip stockings of exquisite quality and presented a dainty appearance. Their appearance, coupled with the really intelligent dancing of the whole company, the novelty, girl Princess Wee Wee and the two tiny girls, furnished a fine entertainment. The "Seven-Eleven" company can best be described by saying, Picture to yourself a show speeded up to the last notch in pep, with one of every kind of artist known on the stage today, all in the most beautiful and ap- Baltimore. Md. propriate costumes procurable, and rendered in gorgeous settings, and you have the show. He camp meeting scene when Mae Brown sang "Do You Call That Religion," and the dancing on skates of one of the male actors. On course, the comedian, "Speedy," Smith won everybody's applause, but me, the singer, "Moon," in one Indian scene, and the beautiful melody of the chorus. Also the perfect teamwork and finish of dancing of the chorus. The costumes of the little leading lady took my breath, and the heavy skirts I wore much as "Hot Stuff." Likewise, he could dance, and he seemed to like to do it. I am always interested in novelty acts, for their perfection means more, and the unfortunate act is so much a part of the Negro that he cannot claim much credit for it. That skate-tap dance was the most marvellous person I have seen and the boy who blackened shoes in waltz, and jazz time, also deserves credit. Taken altogether or in gits "Seven-Eleven" is just a real good show. The Whitman Sisters are ready for Europe and I wish them luck. And If Joe Clark will just let somebody else in his show work, he'll catch up soon. Dad James and his company have returned to the Star for this week and are offering "Race Horse Charlie" Last Chance. He has worked up a great following here and manages to get his show over without any exertion. After seeing the show, I think this is due largely to careful training and good trust with the elongated comedian of the company just wont behave. Dad speaks loud in his praises of Baltimore, for it was here he started his first show.

LOS ANGELES—Booked for passage to Shanghai, China, Frank Etheridge, noted musician, suddenly found his plans all distorted and the hope to escape from an insane house. Officers arrested Etheridge on a fugitive warrant sworn to by his wife, who is a cabaret entertainer in Chicago. Etheridge charges his wife with having made a fire before and bears many of acid burns on his face, which the claims were due to her attempts to blind him before leaving. RACE I SUNG Name Your Viola Bartlette, a local girl, who made a tromondible hit at the Royal last week, is being featured on the disc. Resisted by Lovie Austin's Serenaders, Viola successfully canned, "You Don't Mean Me No Good" and "Out Bound Train Blues." Miss Bartlette can be remembered as a actress, who married on the stage at the Regent about two years ago.

Miss Bertha Powell, former member of the Dixie Jubilee Singers, was a welcome visitor to our office last week. Miss Powell has a character role in "7-11," but will later be featured with a female quartet. Oscar Micheaux, noted film producer, on his trip here is stopping at the Royal Palace Hotel. Back of the stage at the Palace we were royally received by Garland Howard and several of our local folk, who are making us laugh with the amusements.

Back stage he hummed in peppy laughter, but says bootlight implements royally entertained us. His work will make the average drummer die with envy.

The story is from the pen of the famous writer, Mary Roberts Rhineheart, and is filled with scenes that will make you grip your seat with ear, shrink with excitement and roar with laughter at the comedic actions of a ghost believing maid and two very funny detectives. A great work will be exercised trying to fathom the real identity of "The Bat." Naturally the plot contains a supposed murder robbery and a beautiful woman. The week of September 12th, Regent patrons will see "Stella Dallas" which tells the story of all those little heartaches of life which arises from social discrepancies, and which develop into deep tragedies. "Stella Dallas" purges and exalts a modern movie-goer more triumphantly than any antiquated classic could do, so turns, we can brought to Dyke's attention the heights of laughter, the bitterness of suffering, and the joys of love. We have told enough of the story to give you an idea what to expect, and yet only a small part of the picture.

Chaney takes the part of a demented musician, who through supernatural power shifts his accomplishment as a musician to a young girl of the community, telling her that some day he will come to claim her. Without the truth of the real identity of the Phantom she believes that The great climax comes when the phantom, who has carried the new and old star to his dungeon, where she unmasks him reveal his idiotic fear for life.

In reality a war wound tells him when his prayers are likely to be efficacious. Thrown in a race, he is taken to a hospital where he comes under the ministration of Nell Wendel, a probationary nurse. Nell has been a Honkatonk girl and seeks the hospital as a way out. Nell, who owns a dive in which she has worked, seeks her for a new dive in a development and when she is dismissed, she seeks him out. There bodies send her and in the stress of an epidemic they work out their salvation. Next week the Dunbar will celebrate the annual "National Fox Week," using first class Fox pictures every day. The list includes: "No Man's Love," "The Wheel," "Lazy Roses," "When the Door Opened." On Saturday, the "Johnstown Flood" will be show. Around the great catastrophe of a generation ago which was caused by the breaking of a dam, resulting in the flooding of a valley in Pennsylvania with tremendous loss of life and destruction of property, there has been built up a dramatic story with enough melodramatic villainy to add additional epic. Unlike many pictures of this type, built up around a thrilling event, the story itself is much more dramatic but it is made the main point. In fact, the entire action is developed around the menace of the weak dam and the peril which it offers to the surrounding country. George O'Frien has the role of a young engineer who seeks to bring about the necessary repairs. He is opposed by a villainous superintendent of the lumber company owning the dam, who seeks to profit by the nonfulfillment of a contract. There is a pretty romance which culminates during the flood which occurs before the necessary steps can be made to insure safety. STAR The tSar is offering a series of first class serials, newsreels and comedies, for the weekly showing. "The Heart" will be the main attraction; Thursday Frank Merrill in "Fighting Hearts" and Friday, Aloxie in a new tale of the old west-quoted, "Kidding Romance."

Miller presents "Blue Moon" a musical revue in one act with book and lyrics by Mr. Miller and Donald Hewlett. THE CAST Princess Mysteria, Lorenzo McLane, Stewart Hampion, Babe Townsend, Henrietta Loveless, Ena Barr, Belle Hampion, Geo. Nixon, Buster Schwain, Mary Chase, Mary Welch, Sadie Williams, Mary Flisby, Louise Jeter, Thelma Thomas, B. B Savri, Phyllis Martin, W. Davis, Harry Berry, Billy Chase, Art Johnson and Rimal with Princess Mysteria The clever, mournful and jazzy musical revue "Blue Moon" with a cast made up principally of Washington talent had its initial opening at the Howard Theatre, Monday Miss Ethel Barr, pretty, wistful, vivacious and formerly a Y. W. C. A., worker, but now a footlight aspirant, emerged thru an aroma of flowers and a fragrant smell. The show which is in five scenes opens with a beautiful 'number entitled "Happiness" written by Mr. Heywood, the director. This essential hit is put over by a fast chorus of ten girls and six boys. Then one is led thru a bit of wit and comedy by Melane and Hampton. The funny bits these two put together are a delightful collection of images to win the applause of a few. Babe Townsend, known thru the East and West by formerly being a member of the Lafayette Players neither adds nor takes anything from the show as they as a drawing card. Then there is Princess Mysteria, the lady who reads the mind. It is natural that her act would score a hit because everyone is eager to learn what the future has in store Belle Hampton, late of the Whitman Misters' group, does the soubrette role and successfully pushes "Sunshine will follow the Hain." Miss Barr goes over well in "Good Time" and "Morning." As this is developed in the Capitol City, she seems to have evidently won a place in the Washingtonians hearts from their manner of response. Miss Henrietta Loveless, pretty well known in Washington does commendably well as the primadonna. "Cumella," a Spanish ballet dancer, Miss Loveless, went over the top. "Huck and wing honors go to Reginald York and Buster Newton, both local products." NEWS from the old Home Town is the best news of all. Wherever you go, let the follow you.

Fred Longshaw, who appeared for several years as musical director for Bessie Smith, directs the orchestra. John Henderson, well tutored as a juvenile lead, has all that goes to make up a leading man. Rogers and Anders are just as entertaining and take good care of the spot they are allotted. Happy Cole uses a line of familiar gag and draws hands. Rogers and Rogers Togers and Rogers, who appeared here last season are back and to show them that they are always welcome, they were greeted with a royal ovation. Sara Martin The show is well under way before the main attraction makes her appearance, Sara Martin, the record star. A little plot is tacked on here, something about one of those sweetheart duddles (Henderson) and another (Jane Martin). It seems as if Miss Martin would rather be a high yuller's slave than the golden idol of the ebony work-ox. But when Eliza Jane (Josephine Byrd) starts to talk about how that High Yuller was spared the manicurist's "suds" for and giving him, on a certain manicurist, things get too bad. White: and Byrd Annie White and Josephine Bydr are both funny as comedians, and get many well placed laughs. Both work under cork. Herby Leonard ties up things with a gang of harmonicas, especially when she plays the guitar. I never saw man use so many mouth organs, carried them up his sleeves, in his pockets and everywhere. The most remarkable feat accomplished was the playing of two at one time, one with the mouth and the other with the nose. Dete Nugent, formerly of the Wild牛, went in and executed a song that was heard at Bardstown. He was forced to repeat three times and take a couple of bows. Gladys and Ida snoator, does a nifty strut. Ida Forsyne has left the "Smart Set" show and that means this show has obtained the services of the foreword in the game. Then there is the dainty Goldie Blue who sings, dances and lets the world know that she is a soubrette. James J. Smith, Jr. is drummer for the orchestra. The chorus belles are, Billy Henderson, Florence Blake, Hortense Lightford, Ethel Gibole "Little Rits" Smith, Baby Knight, Mattie Sutton and Jewel Thomas. EASTON, MD.

It was the largestgest win of its way thru the gates at Maryland Park and on hand, estimated at between nine and ten thousand and as is generally the case in all families when a lot of company comes everything seemed to go wrong to cause embarrassment to the heads of the house. It was the chief offender of the Sox team in this respect, showing the worse form he has displayed since donning a Sox outfit. The Sox started off like a house alire, electrifying the fans in the first inning with a double play. Crockett led off with a safe hit. Francis rolled to Sykes, who tossed to Wilson at first cutting off the bat and then Wilson spying Crockett sprinting to third on the play the pellet to ROJQ FANS WITH SACKS LOADED In the seventh inning, the score stood 5 to 1, in 1 With two down, Harper after hitting Sykes and Smith walked Wilson filling the bags.

With two down, Harper after hitting Sykes and Smith getting a single, Harper scored 6 to 1, and Sykes, rooters plumed with him to put the ball over the palings, but Harper, master of the situation forced the pepperball receiver to repeat the feat of the mighty Casey. The Sox rallied in the ninth to make three runs, but the visitors won 4 to 1. SECOND GAME After the visitors had scored one run in the first inning of the night, cap which was all they could do on four miscues in succession by Raggs, the Sox hung up a record for the Park by scoring nine runs in their half. After the visitors had scored one run in the first inning cap which all they did on four miscues in the Sox hung up a record for the Park by scoring nine half.

Pickens writes us from New York:— It ought to be a thing of pride to Pennsylvania the cleanest and most incorruptible member of their nation for the last three years has been a Negro—Charles for as our observation went, he was the only mission who visited Pennsylvania for their state to accept the two Dempsey the Dudger, and Tunney the "set-up" on after New York had turned it down. We do not mean arranged to lie down to Dempsey, but we do mean to with Wills, as a fighter, he amounts to a mere set-up not. Because the only colored member of the Commission rage to stand for cleanliness and honor, Governor Pinchot at the evident corruptionists. That is clear enough to be followed the matter. This ought to be an ASSET to Chas, Fred White of life; that, contrary to the usual opinion about color, political job-holders, he was not bought or free himself; the prize was $4000 for a job rather than the general sporting public. The game was the weirdest contest seen at the park for many a day. It was five inning by agreement and ended by a score of 13 to 9. GOVERNOR PINCHOT AND PA. BOXING It ought to be a thing of pride to Pennsylvania colored folk that the cleanest and most incorruptible member of their Boxing Commission for the last three years has been a Negro—Charles Fred White. So far as our observation went, he was the only member of the State Commission who had the nerve to tell the Governor and the public that it is a disgrace to Pennsylvania for their state to accept the reason he had between Dempsey the Dodger and the boxer "or possible 'fence' to tie Dempsey the Dodger and it down it. We do not mean that Tunney has arranged to lie down to Dempsey, but we do mean that, as compared with Wills, as a fighter, he amounts to a mere set-up—intended so or not. Because the only colored member of the Commission had the courage to stand for cleanness and honor, Governor Pinchot dismissed him as the political opinionists. That is clear enough to anybody who has followed the matter. This ought to be an ASSET to Chas. Fred White for the rest of his life: that, contrary to the usual opinion about colored politicians and political job-holders, he was not to be bought or bullied, and that he let himself he pushed out of a $7,000.00 a year job rather than betray either his race or the general spending increase.

UBE FOSTER IN STATE INSANE HOSPITAL--ENDS FINE CAREER UBE F UBE FOSTER" CANE-WONDER AREER ENDED Ball League Head Has Delusion He's In World Series AT 19 RUBE WAS A KING PITCHER A Manager Rose From $40 Month To $100 A Day Salary CHICAGO—Declared inane and committed to theate Asylum at Kankake. Friday the career of a great baseball player, Rube Foster appears at an end Foster, a pitcher whose fame is widespread, as president of the National League major league players in exhibition tussles throughout the middle West, was considered best player ever. Foster libers under the delusion that a world series is under way and is to pitch for one of the contending teams. Larek reported that Bob's as he was always called, had been sent to the big league organization, his home, 4131 Michigan Boulevard, where he had been ill for several weeks. He only sent to the hospital when his condition became so vicious that it was no longer safe to him at home, and he was attacked by his attacks. "Ruben was about 60 years old and in the prime of life. No Olar. "Ruben was no year of baseball, the big league manager of the Chicago American Giants, when in Baltimore, October 3rd, 1923, attaining the Kansas City manager of the PRO-AERMERIAN reporter had risen from a salary of $40 and 150 to $100 to a salary one of Chicago." "The years ago colorado baseball got nothing out of the game," retired Tube. "Last year $380,000 to see colored baseball." "Rube" was born in Texas, but came to Philadelphia at the age of 9. He was N. Strong, Jim Keenon, both white, as the Zazzard pitcher. Keenan and Strong still doing business in New York with the Lincoln Giants and Brooklyn. Although Ruble could deliver the oops he and ten other men of the team to the court, he also jumped to Chicago. Ruble was offered $150 a month to go with a white club, but he said with his colorful jersey a nucleus of the present National League, which has eight ball clubs, owns baseball parks and makes jumps of a couple thousand billiard tables to play a single series. Rube Boasts Rube liked to boost (1) that as a 19-year-old pitcher he was the best in the country and pointed with his right hand to Rube Waddell and with ten more whipped the best league teams in the country. (2) That he organized a league, which has developed more players than any other agency. (3) That he knows more people than any other player. (4) That he never entered politics and never cast a vote. Likes Automobiles Rube was crazy about automobiles and had a passion for outfitting and an Apperson Jack Rabbit sedan. He liked to drive them himself and said he could make 9 miles an hour in a car. "I know you," said Judge Landis when Rube entered his office one day without announcement. "You're Rube Under." The rules no professional clubs may play in major league ball parks, but after Rube had talked to Landis and had met him, he hurried his players from the minor leagues, Judge Landis gave in. Colored professional teams were the reason rugged eligible to games from every point. On Every Point When asked about the recent baseball war between the East and West, Rube said that the West had won every point, the baseball peace area (1) the East to accept no more contract jumps from the West; (2) the West not to take back men who have jumped. Refuses. Comment Asked about the high school salaries paid the baseball players of the East was the reason for the fact that the schedule is no, completed. Rube said the game anything about the fact that Boden and George Robinson were turned down as commissioners of the World Series. Pompei substituted in their places.

SWAM OVER 5 MILES A Miss Louise Parrot, who swam 45 miles in two hours and 40 minutes in the Texas — Pendleton Chasepoike Guy seinm from Baltimore to Brown's Grove recently. BOXING PHILADELPHIA, Sept. — George Goffrey, heavyweight, was compelled to call off his bout with Jack Sharkey in Boston this week, due to an injured finger. ATLANTIC CITY — Ed. Edwards says, in the feature card of an eight round match at the Waltz Dream Club last Tuesday night. Bock's white, with white, Harrisburg knockout artist, while in the semi-final Billy Washington, Philadelphia, won a referee's decision over Willee Beele, white, of Trenton. NEW YORK, Sept — Canada Lee, briefly weightless, of the Crescent A.C., outpainted Al Moskowitz, white, in four rounds at Coney Island Stadium. Jimmy Daugherty, who was former friend of Dempsey and his referee for three bouts for the heavyweight champion, is sore because Dempsey referred to George Goreley's manager, and we can easily understand why he should be angry. Goreley may be yellow. The question that now remains of Goreley's who has been dodging Harry Wills for the past three or four years. What has been dubbed the best joke of the season at the seashore was Hype Joe's announcement that Dempsey had invited Harry Wilts to join his camp as one of his sparring partners, to get in condition for his Tumor. While it is known that Harry will not accept, there are many who opine that this will about be the only way Harry will ever get Jack in the ring. The other joke is that the "champion" will look more like a football player than a prizefighter.

THOMAS NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—With the addition of Manassas at the last meet, the Football Conference officials, the membership was increased to six, namely Manassas, Dunbar, Armstrong Tech, Washington, Douglass and Huntington. Coach Wilson, of Booker T. reports that principally all of last year's games were played in fact this season with the possible exception of one man. Douglass will feel the loss of Mackenzie in keeping Douglass in the running last fall. Coach Gibson will have one or two other vital births to the experience in keeping Douglass into the dangerous football waters. Last year Armstrong was practiced experience of one grid season ought to give Westmoreland's charges a fighting chance at the coveted trophy. The football team on the field that is at all in the class with the track team that ran rings around everybody last spring, the older members of the conference. Dinderhughes will probably guide the destiny of the Dunbar grid managers well up at the close of the season. Huntington is, perhaps, the most badly crippled of all the conference teams. Coach Thomas will have to rebuild both line and base in the return. So with Booker T. intact, and Douglass about as strong as she was last autumn, it looks the finish fight will be between these two, with the other squads putting up aORKing place.

The Call Of The Gridiron Of Last Year's Upsets With The Big Four. The Call Of The Gridiron Some Of Last Year's Upsets With The Big Four Fall is almost here, "We want a touchdown," is echoing the air, hundreds of coaches, a college team, and more men have been training for the country's most popular sport—football. Last year witnessed many setbacks, but such as West Virginia Tuskegee, Atlanta, Morehouse, Wilberforce, Lincoln and Howard but among the weakest teams. Smoky Mills, Fisk, Morris Brown, Wiley and a score of others. The biggest upset last season was the overwhelming defeat by a team generally rated in past years a point or two below Howard and Lincoln, two rough-shoot over the Jones, but that was hardly it. Lincoln went into the fray over-confident. As for the teams which not so against the biger foes by playing a good brand of football, Morgan College, without a doubt, did the best against the bigger foes held the Lincoln Lions to a 7 to 0 score, and Howard, 26 to 0, and perhaps would have trumped over both the collegiate teams been as heavy Johnson C. Smith, Charlotte, marched up to Washington last fall and held the Bison, 9 to 6, put a scare into the Howard line. He scored the "Red" Thanksgiving. The schedule for the season follows: October 8—Douglass vs. Dunbar, at Washington. October 11-Manasasas v. Armstrong, at Ethington. October 11-Booker T. v. Huntington at Newport News. October 11-Dunbar v. Manasasas, at Newport News. Oregon Coast T. vs. Dunbar, al. Washington. November 22—Armstrong vs. Dunbar, at Washington.

Out of the South game Coach Alken's Atlanta crimson hurricane to Hampton, a team which used to make the big four scram to win and then sometimes lose, has drawn out against such schools as Virginia Normal, Virginia Seminary, Shaw, St. Paul and Union, teams which when praised against such schools as Mountaineers, but which, within the last two years have reached the height of those who were once peeps, have joined the Force at the close of the season, tied with the Lions 0 to 0, at the Institute. Of course, Howard, the former world, received its unexpected heart throb when Force held them 6 to 0, and Atlanta, a team rated three touchdowns below the teams, also held them to a 7 to 0 score. Tuskegee Against Lincoln Lincoln is to get a real chance to test her strength against the south, and, too, perform a spectacular game of any merit, when she meets the Alabama hurricane from Tuskegee, on Franklin Field.

Ave., next to Royal Theatre ADVICE FOR WEAK AND SICK MEN A HEALTHY BEING possessing the full power of manhood is truly a blessing to society and should be safeguarded as a sacred treasure. The loss of manly vigor and health is due to many causes such as congenital malformations, injury, or from acquired defects in the organs of generation it may also be consecutive, inherited, neuresthetic. TO RESTORE NORMAL FUNCTIONING of manly vigor in the young and old requires the most scientific treatment, weakened vitality is not a condition to laugh at or ridicule to pass over lightly, for you are a sick man and owe it to yourself and society to seek intelligent advice and treatment from a skilled physician. POISONED BLOOD is not cured by ordinary patient remedies and few of the many intravenous treatments are positive cures for poisoned blood without other medical treatments properly directed. It requires a most scientific course of treatments to overcome its ravage, and you must be under observation over a period of years. PIMPLED FACED MEN—Be very cautious in your relations with people who are broken out with diseased skin or sores mouths. I now warn you that too much propaganda of an educational nature cannot be brought to bear on the public to safeguard the innocent from being infected by contact with those visualizing the above described condition. BACKACHE is a symptom or sign that should not be neglected. You should consult your Family Doctor or a Specialist at once as this may turn out to be the sign of a very serious kidney trouble or a complication of causes.

These contests bid fair farewell to the Pennsylvaniaans, as this was their final appearance in Baltimore this season. Both games were exhibitions and do not count in the league stand- Strong, opposed by Campbell, let the hilldale boys down with four bingles, fanning two. It appeared for sometime that the teams would not play as a rather small crowd was on hand as a clock. Then around 2:30 o'clock Umpire Spencer called play, and fans then numbered hundred. The Sox started the fireworks on the first pitched ball by Campbell. P. Johnson lined a hot one thru Campbell, which Stevens could not hold. Holloway lined himself, who could not hold the ball and P. Johnson second on the miscue. Wilson laid down a pretty sacrifice bunt and beat it out, Johnson going to third. Holloway to second. Johnson, trying to worry Campbell, almost caught the ball at third, caused which took several minutes. Umpire Cromwell, in calling Johnson safe, threw up his hands and the Hildale boys thought he meant it. Taylor dropped a Texas leaguer behind the base, scoring P. Johnson and Holloway; Wilson going to third. Eggleton flied out to Stevens. Tojo lined one to Stevens, who threw Warfield at second, forcing Taylor but Wilson scored and tied first safely, flicking it back Clark and flicking it to Warfield, ending the inning. The Sox put over three runs on two hits, two errors and a sacrifice. In the third, Warfield's boys put run across. Carr drove out the long fly to Holloway, who dropped the ball and Carr went. Campbell laid down and was thrown out at first, Carr going to third. Briggs sent a long fly to P. Johnson in right field. Carr scored when Clark dropped P. Johnson's throw in. Warfield was out on an easy roller. Wilson took Campbell had got his shoots to working and the Sox did nothing until the second. The Darby boys, however, one across in the fifth. Washington lined a hard one to Seay, who made a wonderful stop over near third, but missed getting the runner on first by a hair. Stevens came thru with a bunt of Strong and outrun it. Warfield to second, another ball was out at first on an easy roller, Taylor in trying to Washington at second, threw the ball into center field and the runner raced home.

Taylor, who was to have been next out, according to Mr. Warfield's way of thinking, lifted one of Campbell's slants into deep center for two bases, putting across P. Johnson and Holloway.

HILLDALE TAKES 2 FROM CUBANS Stars Are Unable To Get Going And Lose Chance To Grab Flag SCORES ARE 11-1 AND·11-3 MONDAY Dihigo Wrist Still Injured Held To A Single Hit All Day PHILADELPHIA—(Monday) —Hildale just about wrecked the chances of Alex Pompey's Cuban Stars for winning the championship of the Eastern League with the Dairy Dalies in the Islanders a double reverse in the holiday bill at Hildale park. The locals took both contests handily and without much trouble, coping the first fray, 11 to 3, and gaining 11 to 1 victory in the afternoon combat. Sun and Pedrosa pitched the first game and Hilldale batters hammered out sixteen hits. Oscar and Fabre tried the second game and the Darby sluggers fattened both averages with fifteen more safeties. Mackey and Judy Johnson led the batting fest with six hits each. Mackey got two triples and a double. Thomas also got two triples. The lone hit was Winters held the Cubans to three hits and Script Lee, in the second game, shut them out until the eighth, when the Islanders bunched hits and scored all three runs. The fans dropped two games in Hardship last week and the strain of their long winning streak seems to be telling at last. BASEBALL BASEBALL Hooks Mitchell, one of the star pitchers of the Bacharach "Bees" has pitched 24 scoreless innings. Luther Ferrel and G. H. Lockhart have returned to the game. "Nip" Winters, a product of the Washington sandlots, is now the pride of the Darby team's pitching stuff. Carr, the first sacker, dreaming of last year's pennant win and the gold series, failed to get with the rest of the team that they reached Baltimore and therefore went through to Washington, as the train was a limited. Carr is said to have had only one dollar on him. How he got back to Baltimore so quick is a mystery. Force, Black Sox twirler, got his name in the Hall of Fame Saturday, when he registered two wins over the Allentown Dukes, 4 to 1 and 4 to 3. The Dukes' team is composed principally of ex-big leaguers. The fans were raving for action when the game was delayed half an hour Sunday. One among them ejaculated: "Come on! I am going to hold the AFRO stop-watch on you." Seay played a wonderful game at short, and can be credited with saving the Sox from defeat. His stop of Washington's drive in the fifth was a grandstand play. Briggs was out in the seventh inning of the first game in an attempt to steal home. Clark's single in the eighth was his first in the last two Sunday engagements. Hildale tried to put over a rally in the ninth of the first game. W. Field made a single to right field. Mackey hit a hot one to Wilson, who fell on catching the ball, but got Warfield going to second, while Mackey reached first safely. J. Johnson fled out to Holloway and Thomas took the same route. Taylor and Wilson got a walk in the first inning of the second game, but could get no further. Thomas had the only stolen base in the second game when he beat Clark's easy throw to second base. Warfield said the Cubans proved to be Hilliard's biggest drawing card in the Quaker City. The attendance this year was not as good as last year in 1981, and in other ways, he belief, he says, is that the Bacharach will probably win the pennant as their remaining games are at home. Nevertheless, the Cubans, who have seven games to play yet, with the Lincoln Giants, may pull thru. No triple play in Sunday's game. One of the local papers stated in its Sunday that the locals made a triple play. The play was as follows: Carr, first man up, walked. Ryan popped to McClure, who dropped the ball, but recovered in time to catch Carr going into the end. He attempted sacrifice. Briggs hit a line drive to Seay, who caught the ball near second, touched the bag and then threw to Taylor, doubling Ryan. Why would Taylor have to explain himself, but the play was only a double and not a triple, as one man was already out. Mt. Winans On Rampage The Mt. Winns, runner up in the amateur league, defeated the Lincoln Giants. 13 to 2. at Elliott City Mt. Winns will meet the fast Rex A. C., at the Rex Oval Sunday double bill. Play will start at 2 P.M.

Bacharachs Lead their series with the Brooklyn Royals, will invade the home grounds of the Lincoln Giants in New York City. This will leave four games to be played before the 15th of the month, when the season closes, and after which date no league games count. When the season first opened, favorite Hail Mary players were treated in the country, was picked to win. Then the Harrisburg Senators, another formidable crew. Looming up big later, were the Lincoln Giants, truly a strong team, led by the Newark Stars, watched by the other clubs of the Taylor's Baltimore Black Sox were league with eagle eyes—they were thought to win. The Newark Stars, Brooklyn Royals and Bacharach considered. The Bacharach Giants have astonished the world in the past six weeks. They jumped from the bottom to "sit on top of the world" for a short time. World's 1st straight win made them an unbeaten bid for the flag. The strange part about the Bacharach club is the fact that two months ago nearly every man had some alliment—knees out of joint, charley horses, pitchers with sore arms and everything that would go to hinder the success of a team. They were the magnificent leadership of Richard Lundy and the tenacious spirit of his men, they rest calmly upon "Sun Kissed Hill," where fame crowns the heroes' heads. Before have the fight been so terrific. The famous Cuban Sahara proves that the hardest thing the Hillida team has earned the distinction of being one of the hardest teams in the world to knock from the high pedestal. They have a wonderful team and have had a percentage of over .600 all season. They have shown more fight this season than ever before and though they are on our side, they are not beaten. They be enabled to play their quota of games by the 15th, they are still to be feared. D. C. BLACK SOX WIN AND LOSE The Washington Black Sox broke even in a double bill Sunday, losing the first game to the Le Droit Tigers, 6 to 4, but winning the nightcap from the Stonewalls, 4 to 2. The first game, a pitching duel between Lacy and Lymon, who was relieved by Bland in the second game to well the Sox getting 10 bingles and the Tigers 11.

Tenn. (ANP)—From present indications the Memphis Red Sox will hook up with the Birmingham Black Barons in the post-season series to determine the pennant winners in the Southern League. Birmingham led the field during the first half of the season and also served to put several contenders out of the playoffs. Jumping into the lead some four weeks ago, the Red Sox have put up a winning brand of baseball and have increased their lead over New Orleans and Birmingham to more than a half. An even-break in the remaining series the championship of the second half will be theirs. The Albany Giants after gaining the reputation of being the most dominant team in the first half, were considered the favorites in the last half. The Giants, however, hit a slump in mid season and were never able to hit their strides, and were put out of the running when they lost four games to New Orleans and Birmingham.

Baltimore, Md. --- HILLDALI K. C. Falters In Giants Appear Chicago Aggregation Has Ed Five Games At Home While Clubs On Foreign Te K. C. Falters In Pennant Race Giants Appear To Be Winne Chicago Aggregation Has Edge On Missourians—Play One Five Games At Home While Monarchs Must Tackle Two Clubs On Foreign Territory In Ten Games CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. — (ANP)—The Kansas City Monarchs, winners of the first half in the Negro National League and aspirants for the second half lead pennants in the Windy City when they met the American Giants in a five-game series, losing three out of the five, and dropping to second place in the standings. The Monarchs are lucky to get away with their first win, but they should have been an easy out for the Giants. The Giants are now lending the league by a slight margin to play with the Indianapolis club before they close the season, while the Kawasaki have ten games on an elite basis. So should the opponents. The Monarchs will be forced to win at least nine of their remaining ten games from the play. Should the Giants win all five of their remaining games and the Monarchs lose one game out of their ten, the pennants with Kansas City, which will off will be necessary to decide the leader for the season. The Chicago Monarchs have been given a wonderful strides during the second half and at this time are tied with Indianapolis for fourth place in the game series this week with the St. Louis Stars and that will end the league season, as will the series of the team and their scheduled games for the season. The Detroit Stars failed during the St. Louis Stars season, and they will doubt finish right where they are present. The St. Louis club will have the usual peppery strides and will take the measure of the Cubs and then cope with the Monarchs with any success whatever. The Monarchs will not take the measure of the Cubs than that of the Giants-Monarchs just finished last week, and it will lose a link-up between the two as the game in the meantime, so sure are the Giants of the pennant for the second half, with Kansas City, which will off will be necessary to decide the leader for the season. Royals Outh But Lo Royals Outhit Bacharachs But Lose 2-1 ATLANTIC CITY.—The Bacharach Giants, leaders in the Eastern league race, are mighty thankful today the reception game is nine innings. The lowly Brooklyn Giants throw into the leaders' camp, but they lost their chance of victory when they were only able to score one run off "Rats" Henderson in the ninth frame. The final score was 2-1. In only eight innings, the contest looked like only one sure no-hit, no-mur game for Mr. Henderson, but the Brooklyn Royals began to show animation in the last three innings almost—almost—caught the league leaders. During these rounds the New Yorkers tapped out four sateties. Henderson fanned eight men and only gave one hit. By making use of a few sacrifice hits and timely bingies on one Bill Holland in the first and fourth rounds the Bacharach Giants only collected a total of six sateties off Holland.

Candidate Denies Levin Charge And Uses Word "Lie" 12,41 STAR PUBI High School 360,K 10.73 ALTFELDAIDED 12,416 PUPILS FIGHT TO KILL START WORK IN J. CROW BILL PUBLIC SCHOOL CITES COUNTER CHARGE AGAINST REPUBLICAN Levin Said To Have Favored J. C. Law Before Progressive Club E. Milton Altfeld was against the Jim Crow Bills in the state legislation of 1914. Mr. Altfeld, Democratic candidate for state senate, not only denies the charge made by his Republican opponent, Harry O. Levin, but he uses also the short ugly word. In a signed statement printed in the Afro-American last week, my opponent makes the charge that the Legislature of 1914. In order to invest the charge with some semblance of truth, my opponent uses the charges and Pages from the House and Senate Journal. An investigation of the dates and pages proves that my opponent did not imply his imagination. The charge is a lie. The charge that I voted for the Jim Crow Law was true, I might with decency and fairness say that my views when I was 21 years old, and I was 19 in 1914, had changed. But the fact is that I did not vote for the Jim Crow Law. In truth, a lobbyist whose employee I was at the time, General Felix Agnus and William F. Stone, his friend, defeated the Hon. Lloyd Wilkinson, Democrat floor leader, when it came up for vote. (Vol. 1649) to move the Legislature to a 4 to 0, which act killed the hill. This fact can be ascertained from the House Journal of 1914, Volume 1, published and now in the New York Times, in an anthology. While such a bulky volume drawn up in haste may contain some slight errors, the facts are clear to the opponent. Levin lied when he composed the article, and in his passion for an office he is soon to lose, is deceived by the elements of decency and honor. Now I charge that my opponent at a meeting on Palatine, the mayor of Chicago, organized. Wednesday, August 25, announced that he favored The Jim Crow Club and of those who heard him. They speak for themselves. Hospital Real Issue Why did Lewin make this charge that I had voted for the Jim Crow law in 1914? Simply to show that all of the colored man off of the wilt. The million dollar colored hospital plan would have been the man of will obtain by electing me a member of the Senate. That Lewin was a Democrat three years ago and swapped the Redelegated party when the district was changed. To return to the facts regarding Jim Crowland. On Judiciary Committee In the Judiciary Committee of 13144 (Page 3650, Vol. 1) despite my youth and inexperience, Triple appointee to the Judiciary Committee, House Bill No. 904 had been referred to it. (Volume 1, House Journal.) In the Judiciary Committee of 13144, white and colored passengers in cars operated by electricity. (Volume 2, Page 2865) I was with the formentioned event. (April 6, Vol. 2, Page 3649). We then killed the Bill, provoking the formentioned event. When it was discovered that the segregation bill had slipped through the House as is often done with members of the House, I was in killing it across the chamber. (Vol. 1, Senate Journal.) Loyin A Democrat? Where was Levin, the 1925 promiserion, in those days? On our street we were Democrats politics of the Fifth ward. Had anyone heard of him up to three years ago? He's written his statement about me on a par with his recently reported utterance in the newspaper. He watched on McCush street that he worshipped there as a boy. It was the town joke. My opponent with his immense wealth believes that he can bamboo the colored voter he is in error.

All Dressed Up For Company But Pantry Shelves Are Bare Annapolis, The State Capital BY RALP MATTHEWS Three thousand lights in the great white building of the thousands of visiting Odd Fellows when they arrive for their convention next week. Local politicians are rejoicing over their victory in indicting the mayor to appropriate $3,500 for the project. Being little interested in fraternal conventions and less in peanut politics has been withering, with any amount of enthusiasm. To Hide Hunger The affair looks to me like an idle display-much like the modern apartment dweller makes when he adorns his receiving rooms with the furniture he has brought in. Economically speaking, our shelves are bare. Who knows but that those 3000 dazzling lights may glare into the faces of our visitors and so blind them the eyes. We are hungry we are for real political food. On our shelves we have no policemen, no firemen, no street cleaners, no doctors, no nurses for civil service positions, no librarians, no clerks in the municipal buildings, not even janitors. Our bread box is full of books and information in the distribution of teachers' salaries. Our playground cat has a lean and hungry look and our vocational training dog shows how starved Back Yard Dirty Those lights on Druid Hill avenue may so captivate our visitors with their beauty, that we time to look in our back yard and see the rubbish, the stagnant puddles of jim crowson on our buses and in our backyard, and the forms of blocks where we may own not live, and our pungent garbage can, Cheltenham, or in our alley, where we might rent a house, lords, rent tumble down, unsanitary houses, which serve more as an abode for vice, disease and death than as a better posterity.

Why wasn't it a colored reverence? **Wb??** Because Mr. Louis Aariel, is by his own admission, a native of Virginia. Down where their idea of race shows is the Florida Bloom Minisatres, where everybody years red suits and rattles the Aariel came to the Post with a warped idea about what a race production should be like. The actors used the words "this," "that" and "doose" and like whole thing went with the house of the reading Broadway shows. It was clean, wholesome entertainment. Therefore, it wasn't truly a race production, and the excitement. Negro producers are changing with the times. See that white critics keep up with them by doing the same. CATONSVILLE, MD.

Father G. E. Warren, white, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, was taken from a picnic by 25 masked and white robed men. Wednesday night of last week, placed in an automobile roadside truck, the road thirty miles from Norfolk, questioned and put out to find his way back to his home in the city as best he could. Father Warren is rector of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, and head of a school in which there are 500 boys. Accompanied by the school band and a number of his parishioners, the priest was in attendance upon an outing at the home of Mr. Charles Woodhouse, a farmer, residing in Virginia. Princess Anne Court House, Virginia. On the lawn of the Woodhouse home, a band concert was in progress when the abductors arrived in eight automobiles. The attack was expected because Father Warren had been advised that alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan were opposed to the activities of the school and to the convert and would resent it. The Kluxans understood that there were persons in the band. When informed of their error, they still objected to Father Warren accompanying it. With the arrival of the masked men, the band was ordered to strike a lively tune in order to disruc attention from what was going on near the automobiles. Now the point we make is this. We agree with the Protestant passions of Virginia, which is the most disgraceful ever committed upon Christianity in that section of Virginia and nothing could be more humiliating to the community. Throughout the country there are white Catholic priests serving colored parishes with piety, enthusiasm and efficiency, and supported by their communicants. But on the other hand, what kind of cowardly citizenship is Virginia raising when 500 of them will permit 25 masked men to walk into their mud and abduct the leader of the flock without protest or resistance. There ought to be among them that band and among the attendants of that law party those who would have willingly given their lives before they permitted Father Warren to be taken away by a masked band. Two or three determined men in Virginia could have routed the Ku Kluxans with as much speed and dispatch as a resentment of cavalry. During the past few weeks race relations in Virginia have become steadily worse. There was the lynching at Wytheville. The beating of two white girls at Bristol and now we have the abduction of Father Warren of these disturbances go back in the last analysis to the propaganda spread this year by Powell, Cox, and the Anglo-Saxon clubs at an absolute separation of the white and black races in the The propaganda resulted in the passage of a law in the last Legislature compelling absolute segregation, making it impossible for white and colored persons to worship in the same church together. Another silly bit of legislation forbids colored persons from belonging to certain kinds of insurance. In the state if the officials are white. The state is laying the foundation for mob violence and race riots on a large scale and when they become aware they have no one to blame, but herself. Mr. Solomon Porter Hood has resigned his post as United States minister to Liberia, Wet Africa. Whether he resigned voluntarily or under pressure, the State Department did not say in making its announcement to the AFRO-AMERICAN last week. It did supplement the bare notice with the formal statement that Mr. Hood was suffering from ill health. How long Mr. Hood has been out of office is not known. The fact that he had resigned might be still hidden from the public but for the information coming to the AFRO-AMERICAN from West African sources, which led to an investigation and a subsequent confirmation of the report by the State Department. Mr. Hood returned from West Africa in February of this year and immediately Mr. Reed Flood Clark, who sent to West Africa in his stead. Subsequently Mr. Hood showed himself on public occasions, like the Lincoln University commencement, where he made an address and at various A. M. E. missionary meetings throughout the country where he spoke for the increased appropriations to missionary work, so that the APRF concluded that ill health would not cause a loss of Mr. Hood's coming to America. The APRO surmised and stated publicly that Mr. Hood would probably never go back to West Africa: that the appointment of Mr. Clark, while apparently tentative was after all permanent; and that naming of, a charge-de-affairs meant that the State Department had decided Hood Welfare and the Square Deal Afro-American Building, 628 N.

The State Department denied that Mr. Hood had resigned. The question is why did the State Department withhold the announcement of the resignation of Minister Hood? Was it something overlooked or was it a well-designed plan to postpone it as long as possible in order to avoid a subsequent appointment of Mr. Hood's successor? Pullman Company Mr. I. P. Harden, Chicago lawyer, lost his suit before the Inter-State Commerce Commission against the Pullman Company for $25,000 damages last week. Harden claimed that he requested a pullman ticket from Atlanta, Ga., to Chicago and was refused, threatened and ordered away from the ticket window. Thereupon he boarded a day coach, rode in the Jim crow section and was refused pullman accommodation by the conductor until his heaped Evansville, Ind. Contradicting this testimony, the railway company placed railway conductors and ticket agents from Atlanta on the stand, who testified that it had been their practice to color people, whenever they had applied, and that no applicant for pullman, berth or chair, had ever been refused by them. In the face of official denials of officers of the Pullman Company and the railway company there was no objection to do but throw out the complaint. However, it is our belief not only was Mr. Harden telling the truth, but that the Pullman Company and its officials deliberately mislead the facts. From Virginia to Georgia it is usual if railway employees can be persuaded to sell ordinary passengers pullman tickets. The practice of barring colored folk from pullmans is so general and so common that everybody in the South knows it apparently except the Pullman Company and the inter-state Commerce Commission. The trick is that the Pullman Company knows, that it is and its agents admit they refuse to sell colored people pullman tickets, it will be compelled to put on special cars for these people, and this would incur an item of expense amounting to hundreds, thousand dollars a year. Rather than do this it resorts to the doubtful experiment of having its agents refuse to sell colored people tickets, but in the case of law suits the same employees are willing to swear that they have sold pullman berths to all who have applied. General Garcia The revolution in Cuba, which was to end in independence for that island, actually began 31 years ago. Cause of the trouble lay in the fact that Spain refused to grant what the Cubans thought was adequate representation in the Spanish Congress. A legacy of the revolt were General Maximus Gomez, Antonio Macro, Jose Malti, and Calixio García. The fiercest civil war in the history of the island followed. Three years after the war started the United States intervened to aid the Cuban patriots. The blowing up of the battleship, "Maine," in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, followed, which resulted in the United States definitely declaring war upon Spain and proclaiming Cuba a republic Spain was defeated. Actually the American administration ceased and troops were withdrawn from the island in 1995. Cuba remained an independent under its own government, president and Congress with courts and its diplomatic representatives. The liberty and prosperity, which Cuba enjoys, owe their existence to the Cuban patriots of 1886, who against great odds fought for and maintained their right to be free and independent. Last week Baltimore was honored by the visit of the grandson of one of these patriots. He was Jose Garcia Juareray, a man known as an electrical engineer in the city of Havana. To the AFOER-AMERICAN youth Garcia said, "There used to be slavery and a color line in Cuba, but it doesn't exist now. We got together down there and used the ballot to put an end to it. Colored people today enjoy full citizenship in Cuba." What is the moral? Why here is a community within a "few hours ride from the United States, consisting of nearly two and a half million persons, 66 percent of whom label 30 per cent of them colored, living together in peace and harmony. Despite the fact that the ratio of colored to white is three times as great as in the United States there is no jim crow, no segregation, no disfranchisement and ap parently no color line.

Call VErnon 6016 NEW YORK Ministers Endorse A Candidate Fifteen ministers of the Gospel, above their own signatures endorses the candidacy of John Philip Hill in the election. Whatlov your opinion might be of the propriety of ministers taking such an active part in parishian politics you must have sickened your mind by the insignificance of the document to which these men of the cloth, some of them pastoring Baltimore's largest Baptist churches have signed their own petitions to ameliorate things about John Philip Hill. There are also many voters who with all honor and sincerity stand behind the policies which distinguish him as a leader. But as an example in consistency in platform preachment and political performance, this ministerial endorsement of the soaking wet fee of prohibition is just about the limit. We might be generous in our opinion of these ministers and support them in their breast with the policies of the state sufficiently to know what Hill advocates in his Senatorial pledges which they say are "Ethically right." In fact we might be more generous than this and surmise that they just signed this endorsement and that they would be for some politician or even for a consideration, for any surmise would place them in a better position than they are. We would one outstanding policy of War on prohibition advocated by Hill. JOHN PHILIP HILL IS AN AVOIDED WET. He believes that the prohibition law should be repealed and that their ministers should open bar rooms where wines and real beer can be bought. He believes stood shoulder to shoulder with the group of men in Maryland who have sought to throw every barrier possible in the way of prohibition law enforcement. He lins defied the Federal Government by openly dispensing alcoholic home beer and thereby helped to spread the disapproval for this law in Maryland. Is this what the ministers who signed their names to this document endorse? could they stand in their pupils' and their Sunday school classes or look seriously into faces of their own children and tell them they endorsed light wines and beer and a repeal of the 18th amend- That is what they do—or should have sense enough to know they mean—when they publicly endorse young men and women who hear these divines preach against a social dance at Alberni*; when they harmonize it with a public urge to have wine and beer shops opened for them through votes of their parents. Proper advice from the public may not be candidate; may not be amiss. In fact it would be a good thing for ministers of the gospel to take an active part in candidates—but when it reaches the level of political huckstering so plainly evident among some presachers, it makes mess us as either hypocrites or prostitutes. White Lights And Playgrounds Last week the Old Fellows of Baltimore announced that they had persuaded the City Officials to provide David Hill avenue the week the B. M. C. meets here. For the $3,500 grown men and women will be an audience and social worker told this article that a much smaller amount than $3,500 had been refused those who wanted to provide playground and social worker for children of Baltimore. Don't put all the blame on white officials, for THESE MEN WHO INDUCED THE GROWN PEOPLE'S amusement for grown men and women, most of whom do not really need it. could have induced the city to provide proper playground for WHO DO NEED IT, if they had tried as hard. Few Baltimore mothers and fathers realize and understand the value of directed play. It does not matter half so much what happens the half so much of your boy or girl the few hours he is in church or even the long while they are in school, as it matters what happens, WHEN HE KNOWS. In fact there is nothing so important in the lives of children as PLAY, WE AREALLY ENDERSTAND. It is their philosophy, the moulder of their cities, sense of fair play, and their human relations. Wise city fathers are coming to realize that there are places of money the city spends on directed play and recreation, and the amount spent on the police department, the courts and crime, more so than the places around the lea you have to spend on crime. It's better to spend it on play grounds. Let us hope that some group of men who have been educated for $3,500 for a week's education of grown men and women, will make some effort to get proper play facilities and have all the future before them.

With the library system in Baltimore, we undergoing reorganization some civic organization should get behind a movement for colored libraries. While the general policy of the Enoch Pratt library to keep its doors open to all residents is required to that of a Jim crow system, there should be employed a number of men and women of the group to carry the library influences into the more intimate activities of the colored people. A library may be merely a distributing station, or it may be an education station. In doing so this writer asked a labor organization did its members use the books on their craft at Enoch Pratt. NOT ONE HAD BEEN THERE. In the school system, the library good work—to get its best influence in a city like Baltimore it must have a more intimate contact with the civic and social life of the The development of art, literature, industry, and science depends upon proper library influence.

A few library workers, of the profession, could give the youth a new and stimulated perspective. In Dixie Land (From Atlanta, Ga. Independent) From Atlanta to New York you pass through Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina to the University of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware Pennsylvania, New Jersey and a part of New York. In each of these states where race matters the best measurement of the real progress of the state. In those states where race matters the control politics you find bad roads and poor school facilities. In Georgia and Virginia, where the building element has not learned that the permanent progress of any part of the people means the progress of people, we people have the best roads, school houses and the highest taxes. In these states, the white man, order, desire and opportunity before the law has denied himself and posterity many blessings of free government, the New York state has a liberal education, and good roads.

In the past months Mr. Hood has been lecturing all over the country aiding a committee to raise funds for the benefit of A. M. E. mission work in foreign lands. Kelly Miller Says Eliot and Valentino have done their work and gone thehir way. The life f Valentino was brilliant, vivacious, bouyant; his influence is fleeting and evanescent. On the other hand, Eliot's granitic character, his influence upon the thought and culture of his age will go on with multiplying momentum in their wholesome effect upon the intellect character of unborn generations. Harvard And Hollywood President Eliot, of Harvard, and Rudolph Valentine, of Hollywood, died within twenty-four hours of each other in a car accident. Each other. Harvard and Hollywood represent two contrasted tendencies in contemporaneous life. Eliot embodied the tradition, the conscience and the culture of Harvard, which is New England, which is at the heart of the nation. Her roots strike deep into the soil of Puritanism, of whose seed American civilization, as we see it today, is the result. If any one of the hundreds of millions who have lived and died on this continent might be chosen to represent America at her host, Eliot would, double that number, be an intellectual, like Emerson, nor a moral genius like Lincoln, nor is patriotic idol like Washington; but his life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him, that like Spartan, it sufficient to say, that this was a man. On the other hand, Valentino may be made to typify Hollywood, which sprung up but yesterday; it represents the values of the past and the twentieth of life presented in pictorial form. Harvard says that life is real, life is earnest; Hollywood says that the play is the use. Harvard assures us that service and in service: it is consented to truth and service in the lexicon of Valentino these terms did not exist. Harvard scorns Hollywood; Hollywood laughs at Harvard; Harvard sensational ministration of Valentino as repugnant to his Puritanical soul. The learned didactics of the head of Harvard would give Valentino the headache. Nothing In Common The two have nothing in common in their cultural, social or ethical philology. They have two generations, to strenuous service consecrated to the welfare of his kind. Valentino, during a few lifetimes of existence, did nothing but pose. The one said to his fellows: "Follow my example, the other. Loses his life. Strangely is the way that follows my lead, add few there that find it." Hollywood says: "Mine is the broad way to joy, and the multitudes walk Harvard and Hollywood are both great educational institutions. Harvard teaches theology, and Harvard teaches the thousand young men shifted and selected by brain wracking process recruit the ranks of Harvard. One hundred million pupils pass their requirements, no preliminaries of the rigid academic sort. Whosever will may come, and look and learn. All of the facts of human history and human experience are presented to the eye. Time Wasted H. G. Wells, in a recent notable opinion, has said that the traditional Harvard sort is but time wasted, and that Harvard and Yale in the years to come will be the home of the owl and the bat. We started at this extreme view. And yet we do know that the visual dramatization of life will greatly modify educational content of marching through Gaul with Caesar at the rate of six inches a day, the student will enquire the whole campaign in two hours. Harvard should direct Hollywood, while Hollywood should supplement Harvard. Conflicting Influences The world today stands distraught between these two conflicting influences, the grave and severe, and the tolerant, social and ethical severity, Valentino, exulting in his personal pulchelitude, looks upon life as a perennial holdout of race may enter into these contrasted attitudes. The Vaukke takes his work, his play, his duty and his religion sensibly, lives in the world where he shapes the only man in the world who loves to work. The great bulk of mankind hate to work and love to play. The nuance of the Puritan is a disdainful influence in the world, Even Elliot is a protest against the awful severity of his ancestry. Sin To Play In the days of Johann Edward, it was a sin to dance, a sin to play cards, a sin to go to the theatre, and even a sin to romance. Jonathan Edward, Valentino, the ultimate sin of Harvard is to make the world bitter, while that of Hollywood is to make the world tolerant. The one is concerned with the life to come—either some remote supernatural blissful abode beyond the skies or a better order of things in the newer For Hollywood there is no life to come. The life that now is, is the only life that is. The older Harvard appealed to the public that the mass was looked upon as a folk to be exploited, prized and prayed for. They constituted no part of the ennobling cultural scheme. It was a pure aristocracy in which the common man had no more part than the Hielos of the past. The democratic spirit in constant at work Valentino Nothing In Common Time Wasted Sin To Play THEATRE AND MUSIC FEST HOOD RESIGNS Picture 5. Asked last week why Mr. Hood did not go back, the State Department told the AFRO he had resigned, because of poor health and poor salary. *Common People The enjoyment and delights of the common people are as much to be considered as the cultural enjoyments of the chosen few. American literature is fast falling under the dictatism of the problem, the problem is how to house and out what the people want, not what the critics praise. If we count by the number of Saturday Evening Post has a thousand times the circulation of the New York Nation. The number of the multitude, the other to the intellect and conscience of the few. Sixth Grade Minds Our widely circulated newspapers are yellow. Short stories in magazine and book form are rolling from the newspapers to the trees. They are adapted to meet the requirements of the sixth grade mind. It is only in politics and economics that we can expect to see recreation, literature and amusements it has come into its own. Under this tendency of things we may expect the growth of the book, the release, and that of Harvard to decrease. Success Eliot and Valentine—which of the twain achieved the greater success? If we regard success as the prosperity of our common standard of values—the almighty dollar—the Italian easily evens the palm. He earned as much money in a year as Eliot did. Our is a material time. The supreme query is too often: how much moral, spiritual, moral and spiritual values, but in terms of the coin of the realm. If, again, we measure success by the speculative appreciation and appraisal Valentine in his color, we have captured his thousands, and Valentine has ten of thousands. The death of fourth the digested honour and dressed respect of the Inner circle and the Bridecum to which he belonged and the cold calculated admiration of his life and his accomplishments in high esteem. The passing of Valentine moistened the eyes of the multitude. Two Classes Eilot was never called upon to suffer or to suffer; he lived in cultural isolation, above the level of the common man, and was a passionate in passion for all who felt a feign romantic love. They cannot but sweep at his untimely taking off. In, again, we take newspaper notice as a measure of esteem, the lovely sheikh of the city, the lovely secretary as the erudite president received columns. Even in Boston, the field of his life and labor, the same proportion holds good. The papers must give the impression that he desired the personalia of Valentino rather than of Eilot. Heart Throbs Another way to evaluate life is by thrills and heart throbs, rather than by length of years. Eliot lived to be ninety-two years old. Valentino reached but his throbs were not fully intact and his identity is lost in time. Eliot's nature was not capable of experiencing the kicks and thrills and throbs that characterized the vivacious Italian. If the making of money, the winning of popular applauses and adoration, the best of existence constitutes the charmed life. Valentino leads the way. Higher Appraisement But there is a higher appraisal of success. The happy outcome of an effort in terms of its own high aims and ideals constitutes the definition which appeals to the sober judgment of mankind. From this point of view President Elliot's life was a superlative success. The worthwhileness of the motive, reason, end in view, must also be given consideration. Valentino was of the earth, earthy. He could never rise above the appreciation of flesh and blood. Elliot was filled with the higher and higher motive, which comes from blood. Elliot was prompted by the higher and higher motive which comes from above. His aim was altruistic: his virtues were vicarious. He adhered to the school of ethics, which extolled truth and duty rather than the popular meaning of success. It is pathetically true that the god of success, reduced to its lowest terms of dollars and cents, is leading our youth down the steep path of destruction. The only greatness that is worth while grows out of positing high ideals and adhering to them. The outcome is indifferent. Who noble ends by noble means obtrains, or failing, smiles in exile or in chains; Like good orellis, let him reim, or bleed Like ecreates, that man is great indeed. Lasting Value New Eliot and Valentino have done their work and gone their way. Their works do follow them. The life of Valentino was brilliant, bonyant; his influence is fleeting and evanescent. In the years to come the world will willow to discover a single contribution of noble or lasting value. BY WILLIAM PICKENS (The American Aesop) Heaven, Hell, Or Home. The Negro soldier had a great way of lightening his burdens by his humor—One day at Camp Meade near Baltimore, a soldier went to the captain and said: "Cap'n, I want to go home," "Sorry," said the captain, "but we have orders not to issue any more passes or furloughs." "Capn, I've Jes' gotta go home said the soldier. "But yos can't go, you see, be cause you can't get a nass." "Well, cann. I'm a-goin' home," narrised the Nero soldier. "Now I know you're joking," said the captain. "For man, this is the army. This is not a dish-washing job at the Ritz. You can't walk out of the army without a blank wall and a firing squad, haven't you?" "Yes, I've head of that blank wall an I that firing squad, said morer, "but I have a mother in heaven, an" I have a father in hell, an I have a wife at home—an" all you white folks can do is to decide which one, because in this new hours I goin' to one of 'em."

Now, whatever may be true of the lordly male in adult years, it is a well-known fact when the sexes associates in early youth, the male does the leading. So, as would be expected, he played her games—little girls, it is true, but not the only role any role of importance or authority.

(I might remark at this juncture that, in many years of consciously church attendance, I have more than once felt like expressing the same sentiments. But for other eight-year-olds in this sophisticated age—but this particular little girl played with dolls. In fact, all of her favorite games centered around her dolls. And even the life he was a boy, little boy, is the same thing—and recently he was so contented with her. Now, you know, in the dim, dark days of the past century, the lines between mule and female were pretty sharply and rigidly drawn. Also, there was no over-stepping of the chapture of the old man's work. The woman's sphere and the kept within it. Man's work was man's work, and he passed up anything else with lofty disdain. Even with children the difference was strictly adhered to. A boy could not more be presented to the dishes than his father could be. He was so good for her infant off-spring. Well, it happened one day, when little Mr. Five and Little Miss Eight were most earnestly absorbed in the fascinating game, play-the-mind and made of a conduct were all of the century just left behind. Her scandalised eye fell upon our small nate as he tenderly cuddled one of the dolls in his arms. When I was immediately cried, "To think of a boy playing with a doll." Who ever heard of such a thing? Every bit of me leaped up in hot indignation and swift protest, but I hope I could utter a word the little fellow took charge of the situation him. I can see him now.—his head flung proudly back, the dolly clasped tightly to his bosom, and his bright eyes gazing straight into those of his error. "Then," he said, "I can't get that finally and with an air of "But, you see, Mrs. X., I am this dolly's father. I've got to play with her," that closed the incident for him, and he immediately went on. "Horrah," I mentally applauded. "Hip!" hip! hurrah!" But I discreetly said nothing, and with somewhat of a bewildered, nonplussed expression on her face, neither did Mrs. X., the I am sure she wanted to say that fathers didn't take care of babies. What prevented the retort was the way in which the little eld said the word "father." I wish I could describe the tone of his voice. He made of that word a wonderful relationship, with a vital importance and intrinsic dignity which overleap! all foolish consideration of mere sex.

Nay, not only his duty but his privilege. I could wish nothing better for little Mr. Five than that he should keep his childish wisdom, and not grow up into the false pride and ignorance of real values which characterized many adult males.

EDITORS NOTE—Within Prison Wells, the installment of which is published in this issue, was written by a young colored man of good family and training who for obvious reasons is withholding his real identity, and who due to his ability served during a course of service, was not at all content with him. He was a man of high rank, having never been filled by any other innate of any race. During this series he is all dwell intimately on certain phases of prison life rarely if ever, discussed to the public. Continued From Last Week In Jackson Prison—Cell 6 by Pilips Put Mc In Wrong With the Warns The following to Prisoners—How I Got a Letter Out. The following Sunday morning I was called into the Deputy's office, where the warden wished to interview me. It seemed that my friend was going to be given up. I was not likely to be. I should not be. He gave me for two hours one of the cruestest lectures. I have ever had the misfortune to let him go. He attributed my down-fall to having too easy a time at Jackson and he was going to make a call. The present is still. The present looked anything but easy. I returned to my but-men cell and reflected that I now was going to experience a steak. (Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively £7 the author.) On Monday I was taken out and dressed, going through practically the same room. My daughter was assigned to a cell and told I would remain there till they sent me to work. At that time, I was being passed in large pans and buckets past your door and served from there. I was in direct contrast to my first cell in Jackson, was large and roomy, being about six by nine. I was not very tall, but least it was clean. I had some money on arrival and the hall master gave me five dollars in prison script, which represented money, and told me I could It seemed strange to have any kind of money on my person in prison, but as I later learned it was Warden Russell's policy to make his prison a much like outside life as possible, as he felt that the psychological effect on the men proved more valuable and made them more accustomed to self-support. That evening in my new cell I was to learn of the most remarkable system of administering a prison that I had ever heard of or read of. By that time word had got to the parties of whom I had inquired when I was in the bull-pen and after their day's work was over they came up to my cell to shake hands. One, a white boy, then and thereafter, proved to be a true prison friend. He told me that the colored boys already knew of my coming and had planned against me before I ever got there, as they were afraid I would get a "front office" job there too. I had in Jackson, and as that was something away above the average jobs allotted to colored men, they didn't want to see me, a newcomer, come there and pass above them. My white friend told me that they had already sewed the seed of discontent among the officials by letting them know that it was I who had just Dress Your Hair With ORIGINAL PAPER BOUQUET HAIR POMADE JOHN HARVEY PARISIAN GARDEN BOUQUET HAIR POMADE FOR THE HAIR MIRKY PERFORMED STERNGHTING STORRON HAIR MATTHEW BARBER SERVICE CO.,LTD.

During this certain phases of prison life rarely on half year previous written a special feature article, which appeared in a newspaper, and two polished boys go along in Jackson, and that I was coming to Marquette to secretly write up the contrast: I am ashamed to admit that these boys would rather than their prison would rather that they go their way never achieving any job of merit in the prison rather than let a stranger get in and surpass it. Of the prison we had trained and its outcome we will dwell later. The men had not been in from the troops to the prison, though they steak, delicious coffee, etc. came waiting past my door, and readily did I assent when a man came to my door and asked me if I wanted to buy pork chops, ham or bacon and eggs, or a steak. Can you imagine it, dear reader? If I would have been justified in thinking the man crazy. However, he brought the supper and took my order for hot cakes and coffee or for breakfast. I had no idea that the prison merchants passed my door, offering to sell everything from homemade candy to silk socks, ties and It all seemed so remarkable that, not having anything else to do, I borged a girl friend back in Jackson, including in a jocular way about the various hucksters and peddlers offering their wares for sale at a country fair. I had to take to mail the letter, I holdered at my next door neighbor for information. He told me and I followed his instruction, a little time later, realizing that men of my own generation were listening to my every word, waiting and willing to get something compromising to run to the officials with a letter, and in the fact that before noon the next day the warden had me down in the deputy's office, accusing me of at least trying to smuggle a letter out, depleting surcantic happenings in the prison. I had no defense. I did not know what he was talking about and did not re-read the letter. The letter I had written my girl-friend until he asked me if I had not asked some one "how to get a letter out," and the girl-friend had told me a white friend had told me and I challenged the warden to recall from the front office the letter I had written the night before and to determine whether she was being attempted to smuggle out. He got the letter. Everything was in regular order and I was excused with a warning, but no further warn- ing was necessary for I realized I was up against a different proposition than I ever had been before.

This is particularly true of the American public. When Carpenter sacked back in 1981, he said he would give him with him the esteem and good will of the American people, because he accepted his defeat no gracefully. Conversely, a certain man who was the victim of because she is suspected of being a poor sport. The training of a child to be a good loser is extremely important as the attitude he takes with regard to his loser is often the same attitude he will determine whether or not he can keep his friends. No one likes a whining, complaining person about. This training cannot be started too early, and it can grow, the harder the lesson becomes. My mother commenced with me when I was six years old. It appears that I attempted to drive the ball. Not being able to drive the ball through the wicket after one of the attempts, I burst into tears, threw my mallet on the grass in rage and ran back to the wicket more. My mother gently insisted that I must finish the game. She put the mallet back in the grass and I walked wilder than ever and I screamed loudly and wept, but it did not change my mind until I had been through every wicket. The fact that I was blinded by tears which continued to flow during the mother's supposed to make me a good loser and did not hesitate to sacrifice her own afternoon's pleasure. Her experiment worked to my advantage. As The crying habit I had inherited to some extent. Every time I tried to do something new and failed the first time, I wept and became so thoroughly discouraged that I gave up trying. This fault is absolutely fatal to the progress and advancement of any child or adult. It is impossible to get ahead if such an attitude of mind is permitted. My mother was fully alive to think and strove to reason with me and to encourage me never to cry, but to bite my lips and hold the tears back at all costs. She showed me what a hindrance this fault would be later on if I did not control it then. I gradually formed the habit of whistling when I felt myself on the verge of tears. I still find this helpful. It took time and patience on my mother's part to break me out of the crying habit. The tears gradually became less frequent. By the time I had finished high school the results of this training and smile with the best of them. Teens were a thing of the past. Under very good conditions a scholarship. The fact that the odds might be against me and the fact that I could not win a scholarship or that of "pink eye" did not deter me from straining every nerve to succeed. Success crowned my efforts. Had it not, I would have been under the mentions to undertake a similar series of examinations the very next week at a different university. Who shall say By Miss Julia Hicks Shanks A school teacher, HWaywood P. O., Madison Co. Va., one of the army of workmen, taught me the skills of interest and inspiration in the AFKO's magazine page. They sit before me in five straight legs With parted lips and eager eyes. And they sit in the light of the light, Like little new clouds in the skies. Five straight rows of merry children. Brown eyes boys and dimpled girls It is a pleasant thing to watch Their sparkling eyes and truant curls I think and plan as I look at them. Their eyes are bright. So many things I have to tell So many things too deep for speech. I'd like to teach of love and life. And I must give the Rule of Three. The Rule of Three is spell, spell, And the puzzie of geography. Of tines I tell a little tale Of fairy gives and knights of old; Of princess tall and ladies fair, And rainbow ends and gold. The young eyes widen at the tale And the young eyes stand and stand How near this of ours is kin To the father but unseen land. And as the bright eyes question mine, And the young lips form a amile; I am a child, and the mother say, "Haven't a little child." Oh, of all things high, all things low, all things great. Naught is in this world of ours. Naught is in this world of ours. As the heart of a little child. The long hours fly on joyful wings, As I toll with my little class; I shall soon speak myself!

My mother had white teachers and being addicted to telling the truth, she told me that you had to learn or else get a cow-hiding. She has often spoken of the welts which stood out on the backs and arms of those children who misbehaved and the things they did were as nothing to the insolence and selfishness of pupils today. Today we have some parents who don't see why the teacher should mark their children absent just because they stayed home one afternoon to go to a matinee. My niece told me that in her class in High School a certain student brought her assignment of a dress for the sewing class to the teacher all finished, he mstitched and beautifully made, although the teacher had never marked or directed its making, and the teacher marked it. Personal Habits Most of the kids and knocks about teachers are about their personal habits, amusements and ways of dressing. The parent has nothing to do with this unless it affects the child's work, but here's where a real kick should be registered: If a teacher is going to cater to a child's parents who are so foolish as not to see that to fake that child's work all through school is going to Do not place left-over in the refrigerator.

They knock everything, the School Board, the system, the buildings, and most of I hold no brief for the incompetent teacher, but any person who voluntarily charges a child of old age type I have been talking about, to say nothing of hordes of dirty children with no training whatever, ought to command respect and respect to them. I have every five years of service like a policeman. I have seen in the homes of relatives totally unable to make one five-year-old child anything they wanted him to do, and yet expect, a first worse than him, to train him up in the way he should go and teach him. When I went to school I received an instruction in manners and morals at home. I learned that a teacher is expected to train the child. I have actually heard a mother say, "You should learn to learn in school," to her own child. Many Late Although the School Board will arrange for the registration of new pupils, the school will be large (be willing to wager, dozens of parents will be coming to school a week after the opening to enter their child's class) and large to admit any more will go away muttering about the poor way the schools are managed since they have Personal Habits Milk should be placed in the coldest compartment of the refrigerator, and care must be taken that no water is left in the container.

The Largest Grocery House in the World handicap it, then its time to get that teacher. But the teacher who wears a pretty Grass, this kind of teacher is hardly incompetent. Some of the poor children never see any thing beautiful about their homes, and they love to see the teacher look Baltimoreans have pointed with pride to the record of a certain youth in Boston, New York, or of a hundred whites. They have, in their blindness, overlooked the fact that when only one student graduates to high school, they often walk along the way from kindergarten to high school hundreds of our children have lost out. In Baltimore, however, we graduated two hundred fifty from the high school and from our teacher training school, which is an accredited school over a country. A teacher gives over a country that can't be totally rotten. Vital Defect Of course, it has its defects. Having all through it as a student, taught four years, resigned and re-entered by the school, but not to that, but the things the public put it about are not the things of the most vital importance. The school has had a fickle attitude with the decision of the school Board to allow teachers to retain their positions if they married. This was done to silence the folks who experienced, but immediately a clamor arose that this would keep so many young folks out of jobs. Not every no that goes to Training School goes out of work. Most of them go because it is the only thing that pays them a fairly decent salary without (so they think) monthly work. The hope is to get those that are in arrest about training children, with his best of their ability. The Fickle Public But are they, the public, please? Say, Nay. They don't hesitate to tell students that they are keeping others out of job. They ought to thank God that their children aren't exposed to the tender administrations of student teachers, who could make an average of 75 in high school. Jesus of Nazareth could not heal any one in his home town because they didn't believe in him, and for that reason he went to Baltimore, while the people ask, "Jesus this old So and So, and So and So son or daughter? I knew him when So much does this policy provide the university with the ability to graduate to get into the high school a s a teacher, but folks from other schools are not so well enough, our folks who go to other laces make good and we hear of them as real factors in other cities or systems. Visit Schools They would know how long the school day is. Hundreds of mothers all over Baltimore don't know it has been changed. They would know that forty-four children is the minimum class per teacher, and if they also know that one of their children is what the child first learns to make the letter "A" they will begin to work on something that is worthwhile. They have only three children out of the way; to realize what it means to hear a recitation a week from a class like this in three or four subjects, to say nothing of teaching them a decent If they went to some of the schools, ere and saw the outside laboratories, oal stove heating and coats hanging in the class room, they would stop talking about the way the teacher dressed (except to wonder how she escaped pneumonia) and get busy aglbiting for more and better schools. Conditions Better I must say, right here that conditions are being refined in some cases and since the administration of Supervision Wood, have been much speeded up, but I cite them as evidences of the kind of things parents want to be busy about instead of talking about the personal affairs of the teaching force. And most particular of all, is the looking to of the home training of their children. If the teacher must spend half her time disciplining the class, her teaching time is cut in half, and certainly a child allowed to have its own way at home won't conform to mass and group instruction very easily. Half of the teachers adjudged incompetent would do better teaching if they didn't have to discipline so much. Every method of punishment has been forbidden the teacher but moral sunshine, and its a might ineffective weapon where there has never been the slightest attempt at persuasion of Strange to say, the child from a poor home, even though untrained, is better prepared than a good home. The poor child is virgile soil, but the child that has had everything has had certain wrong standards and these must be excused first. Right Attitude Start your children out with the right attitude. "O-operate, don't hinder. If you don't understand the rules, you won't be better. The real teacher will be glad to take a few minutes to explain to you if you really want to help your school at home. See that the child takes care of his books. Don't let him mark up your wall paper, but let him help with the school and a hundred more like him help out. Find out what lessons the child has and see that he prepares them if given any to prepare. For the child, even the high school student, gets eight hours sleep every night, and is kept free from emotional disturbances as far as possible. SOCIAL WHIRL MOUNTAIN, M. Green and Henry P.

She said "You look so ill you peaked why don't you take a bottle of cardui?" She had taken it herself a number of times, and it had always improved her health, so she thought I had better try it. "I got the Cardui and began taking it, and from the first dose or two I could see a change for the better. The first thing I noticed was that my appetite was improved. I began to be hungry and I gave my meals. I slept at night, my rest was much quieter that I got a benefit from it. I kept on with the Cardui and took it for several months. The pains in my back and sides grew less until they finally quit bothering me." Try Cardui for your case. At all drug stores.

OF THE ' . About 400 Colored Citizens. in Public Office in Maryland During Senator Weller's | : : * “gl Senatorial Term . , Weller Helped Kill Disfranchisement Laws : ‘The Democrats in 1901 called a special session of the Legislature to i .- pass the infamous Wilson Ballot Law to disfranchise colored people. i Other attempts to disfranchise the colored people by use of the grand- i father’s clause and other tricks were made through the Poe Amendment | in 1904, the Strauss Amendment in 1908, and the Diggs Amendment in ; | 1910. Senator Weller helped to lead the Republican fight against t these measures which defeated them. He worked to keep you from being robbed of your vote. : 7 ar 2 i ABOUT 400 COLORED, MARYLAND OFFICE _ HOLDERS WHILE WELLER IS SENATOR. - i While Weller has been United States Senator his friends among the i officials of the various Federal agencies in Maryland have madc a very. ! | large number of appointments to office and promotions of members of, the colored race to office, the total number being about 400, nearly all appointed with Weller's endorsement. Mr. Galen L. Tait. Collector of Internal Revenue. appointed George A. Watty. as a Deputy Collector. in i charge of the division of Stationery and Supplies, and has appointed a i number of other Deputy Collectors and’ Warehouse Agents, inclusling 1 such well-known names as Walter S. Emerson, Charles B. Bishop. Wil- | . liam L. Watkins, Charles C. Hall, William F, Tydings and others. Mr. i Charles H.

Cummings, the brother of the || late lamented Harry S. Cummings. colored city councilman. was ap- | pointed-as superintendent of the Falls Branch Station with 75 employees } under his supervision. Mr. Woelper has also established colured sub- i ; stations at convenient points for colored patrons. | WELLER SECURED CONFIRMATION OF | WALTER L. COHEN AND JAMES A. COBB. ' + -Senator. Weller cast the deviding vole in securing the confirmation "| : by the Senate of the appointment of Waiter L. Cohen..as Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans, He worked strenuously in Mr. Cohen's | behalf; first by having the confirmation reported favorably by the Com- | mittee on Commerce, of which he is a member, and later in defending and voting for it three times on the floor of the Senate. Mr. Cohen is | -the only colored man in the United States to hold the high position of Comptroller of Customs. Senator Weller was one of the leaders in bringing about the con- firmation of the appointment of Mr. James A. Cobb of Washington. as | Municipal Judge of the District of Columbia. He appealed personally : to Attorney-General Sargeant in this case, and did all he could in the Senate to bring about the confirmation. | : nt | NO OFFICIAL RACIAL DISCRIMINATION— ) SAYS WELLER. At the request of the Afro-American he made a sharp investigation of reports that there had been discriminations in Civil Service Com- mission examinations held in Baltimore and secured assuranves of ab- , Solutely fair treatment. | COLORED REPUBLICAN PARTY COMMIT- TEEMEN AND CONVENTION DELEGATES. | : In 1923 Senator Wellcr supported and assisted to elect three col- ored members of the Republican City Committee, John R, Goldsborough. Lawson N. Duffin and Chas. C. Hall. Some County Committees also | chave colored representation. In 1924 Senator Weller and friends se- : cured the election of two colored delegates and four colored alternates ! .to the Republican National Convention meeting in Cleveland in June. !
