DARROW TAKES SUIT AGAINST PULLMAN CO.
Hero Of Sweet Case With Garfield Hays File Suit For $100,000
ATTORNEYS EMPLOYED BY THE N. A. A. C. P.
Client Is Mrs. Blanch Brookins, Ejected From Pullman In Florida
NEW YORK—Suit for damages aggregating $100,-000 against the Pullman Company and the Atlantic Coast Line Railway was announced today by the N. A. A. C. P., in behalf of Mrs. Blanche S. Brookins, a Pullman sleeper.
She had purchased through accommodation from New York to Orlando, and by a Palatka Court, was fined $500 and costs after a night in the County Jail for alleged violation of Florida's "Jim Crow" law which prohibits use of railway accommodations set apart for whites within the State by Negroes.
Arthur Garfield Hays has been retained as attorney in the case by the National Association with Clarence Darrow as associate. Damages are asked in the sum of $25,000 each, on four separate cases. The case were served on December 21, by Hays, St. John and Buckley, 43 Exchange Place.
Through Ticket
The complaint drawn by Mr. Hays recites that Mrs. Brookins on July 18, purchased a through N. Y. Orlando, Florida, on a car attached to the Havana Special, operated by the Atlantic Corp. Mrs. Brookins, the complainant continues, began her journey South on July 17, and when the car arrived, theirland ticket collector demanded that she leave the Pullman because she was riding in a car with white persons in the Jim Grow Law of the State of Florida.
Interstate Passenger
This Mrs. Brookins defined to do being the interstate passenger not subject to the provisions of the Florida law. The following day, July 19, Mrs. Brookins was "violently, forcibly and rudely" ejected from the Pullman car by order of and at the request of the Florida law officers summoned for the purpose, was asked to ride in a day coach, and upon declining an imprisonment in the County jail at Palmetto, Florida.
After being compelled to spend the night in the Palatka jail, Mrs. Brookins was found guilty of $656 for the Florida statutes, known as the Jim Crow law, of riding in a car set apart for whites with no accomodation for color, cost, or $550 costs amounting to $18.17, which was paid under protest.
PERKINS SQUARE VOTES TO RETAIN BOTH PASTORS
Members Select Rev. Williams And Rev. Edwards In Election Held By Court
Members of Perkins Square Baptist Church, acting under order of Judge Frank in Circuit Court, selected Rev. Frank Williams pastor, and Judge Edwards assistant. Wednesday night.
Rev. Mr. Williams, who has pastored the church for 48 years, was given unanimous approval to hold elections in dwarfs separately, since the old charter states that men only shall vote.
The vote for Rev. Mr. Williams
The vote for Rev. Mr. Edwards as assistant pastor was men 36 for, 15 against; women 53 for, 16 against. This is the third election in which the congregation has voted to reject their pastor and assistant, and appoint a new pastor, with bedings invoked by a minority of the church who are opposed to Rev. Mr. Falwards. The court, acted as moderator. A court-stenographer and counsel for both sides were present. The court, who were laid before Judge Frank Thursday, it is believed will open the pulpit to both pastors as formerly and to retain them from molting them.

HOWARD HOPES GIRL, ELEVEN FOR ITS ENTIRE ACCUSES BLIND APPROPRIATION MAN AND WOMAN
WHOLE SUM VOTED
BY SENATE WEDNESDAY
WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special)—Howard University hopes to secure its entire appropriation of $368,000 from Congress.
This includes $150,000 for teachers' salaries making an increase over the salary scale paid, $150,000 for a girls' dormitory, $68,000 for maintenance.
That part of the Interior Department Appropriation bill carrying the Howard University item was stricken out by a point of order in the House but reinstated by the Senate upon motion of Senator Smoot, (Rep, Utah), chairman of the senate committee last Wednesday.
A few moments later Senator Trammell, (Dem, Fla.) said that the item concerning Howard University and passion for knowledge and asked for a reconsideration.
He said that voting money every year for a federal budget and that he had a number of schools in Florida which would be glad to accept federal aid if Congress was going to give funds to Howard University.
As a matter of compromise, then, Senator Smoot secured unanimous support in the $150,000 for the dormitory for young women and leaving the appropriation for maintenance was then agreed to and the bill then went to the conference committee of the Senate and House.
Friends of Howard University are hopeful that the conference committee of the two houses will reassert the appropriation for the dormitory
and the force government appropriation. They point out that the half million, dollar appropriation for the medical school, building last year is illustrated by the conference committee after it had been struck out on the floor of Congress. Alumni of the school have asked of their states to vote for the entire appropriation.

New Year's Message
New Year's Message
By Bishop John Hurst, A. M. E. Church, Resident Bishop
By request of the AFRO-AMERICAN I take the liberty of sending this New Year Message to my people in the State of Maryland.
We enter upon the New Year with a consciousness of having done our best while passing through the old. Whatever good has been accomplished, may be easily matched by some evil done. It thus reminds us that we are human and, at best subject to mistakes and failures.
It is not best to go through life looking back—tied to the past. But the real joy is what a well spent day brings. When moved by it, the striving earnest soul forgets the bitter taste of yesterday and attunes itself for larger and nobler accomplishments; unceasingly remembering the debt it owes to mankind.
Happiness is a by-product. Pitiful indeed is the man who would go in quest of it by taking down the pike, reaching out for himself. To find happiness, a fellow must look away from himself to the other fellow. Of what good has he been to mankind? What has he done to make his neighbor strong and good and useful. The fact that a man has so wrought in others brings happiness to his life.

Rescued Man Tells Crew
"The Lord Smiled On Me"
BY RIENZI B. LEMUS
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.
—Often when a dining-car
traveling-chef dips into the
cooking of a regular Chef
who knows and does his
work a good meal is messed
up and service is destroyed.
Within the last three months two
disastrous train wrecks have occurred
with Travelling-engineers at the
trottie and the good regular engineers
looking on-the-latest on Christmas
Eve-Zeve" down in Georgia.
On December 23 the Ponce de Leon Train No. 2, Jacksonville to Cincinnati via Macon, Atlanta, Chattanooga over the great Southern Railway's lines, left Atlanta with orders to take a siding at Rockville, Georgia, 51 miles north so as to clear the single track main line--for the southbound Royal Palm, Train No. 101.
# NEOLLECTED ORDERS
The Traveling-engineer, took the throttle and the orders. He was helped an hour later his trunl was a tangled, twisted mass of steel which had crushed out the lives of 20 persons and maimed 35 others, some of them for life.
That was the day he died. He died 30 minutes after being placed in the Rome, Georgia hospital. It was the last trip of the regular engineer. He was blinded. And it was the day he died. Leon's dining-car crew, which was almost literally wiped out.
**SEVEN KILLED**
Of the crew of eight, including the white stewardship of the sailors, and the in-flight Chef-cook were killed; one, cook is 'missing', a cook and a waiter 'gravely injured'. All of the cooks-waiters were, active, members of, local, 6 Brotherhood of Dinner, live or dead, and they are, well known, and respected.
**DEATH LIST**
The dead dining car; men, wren; Wm.
Richards, Chef; Wm; Palmer, Wm.
Hughly and R. O. Horne, waiters, and
the injured. Wm. Hayser, cook; M'G
EDITOR'S NOTE--Roland Hayes denies the rumor of his engagement to an Austrian Countess declaring the story is designed to injure his concert tour.
The following article is from a recent issue of the Jewish Daily Forward. It recites the love affair of Hayes and the Countess as well as a list fight with the Count.
There was recently quite a turmoil in Vienna concerning a sensational affair between a black singer and a Countess. The black singer who recently sang in Vienna is not a Jew but a German Tenor, Hol and Hayes.
It is possible that in America, Hayes is not n. celebrated personage, but in Vienna he is charmed all feminine hearts. Weir broke out between the ladies in tickets for admission to his concert.
The women fiercely fought for the privilege of getting into the theatre to hear, and better yet, see, the singer who so enthralled their hearts by his singing and by his unusual (to them), "dark vignage.
Hayes Claims Royal Blood.
But wonderful is the handwriting of Hayes, who claims to have discovered from certain old records, that he is not an ordinary Negro, but a prince; a descendant from a prince, family; that his great-great-grandfather was a descendant of King Solomon, which of course means that we Jews are, distantly related to Roland Hayes and we have cause to joy in seeing that Hayes is in fact, a descendant of Solomon, there is now nothing to; prevent his marriage to the white countess and soon we will all be entitled as his kin, congratulations on the happy event.
Nevertheless, the Vienna paper do not restrain their disgust, and impatience. Their columns are still to be a scandalous affair, the romance of the white countess with the black singer, Roland Hayes.
N. C. FIRE INS. HEAD MISSING
DURHAM—W. Gomez, leading Durham citizen, secretary and finance company, of Durham, and connected with other business and financial organizations, has been missing since December. He is the husband and family to fear he has met with foul play.
He left on that date on a short business trip to Washington, where he fostered his foster, son there. Since that time he has not been seen, telegraphic falling to locate him; an audit of inquiries shows them entirely satisfactory, officials of, two or three companies with which he was connected report. He had no financial problems, but want to leave no fugues can be learned.
A wide search, being made for him, by his associates and family members, downsides, for only theory.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, (PCNB).
"I would not advise any American born Negro to go back to Africa," Vera Simlonto, author of "Hell's Playground" from which the much discussed play "The Cargo" dramatizes, told the department at the Biltmore Hotel here recently.
"The lines between the races are strictly drawn; there are no boundaries and while the natives would welcome them, their primitive customs would be unbearable to the African people to send them there. "Yes," she answered to my question, "every foot of ground in Africa, owned or occupied by you," As to female domestic servants, there are none, according to Miss Simonton who is constable. "You always hear the foreign explorers refer to their 'boy' servants. The reason for this is because you so low the natives refuse to permit their women to work for them." In Africa it is worth a person's life to free a man 'nigger which means slave."

things I enjoy painting." Hayden

"The
New Year Message
To Our Advertisers and Non-Advertisers
OUBTLESS you have seen the world famed picture called "The Gleaners" in which is depicted the peasants of a foreign country following the harvesters in the field and gathering the remaining fragments of grains, and in the distance an old wagon heavily loaded with the harvested cr op.
WE believe we can safely and aptly compare our advertisers with the REAPERS in this picture, and our non-advertisers with the GLEANERS.
OFTEN in the course of our daily rounds of advertising soliciting we come across the man who tells you that "he doesn't need to advertise," that he does enough business "without advertising."
THIS "NON-ADVERTISER" we likewise place in the classification of "GLEANERS."
JUST as the men who harvest the grain are the ones who have tilled soil and planted the grain, and are the ones that receive the greatest benefits so are the men who advertise. They give their thoughts to the proper method of advertising; they carefully plan their campaign, and consequently they REAP THE HARVEST OF GOOD RESULTS.
AND the NON-ADVERTISER—"THE CLEANER" must be satisfied with fragments, the crumbs that remain. If he lives and prospers at all it is because he is getting the benefit of something that the other fellow has advertised, but it is the ADVERTISER who gets the lion's share of results; and the lion's share of the business.
ALL indications point to the year 1927 as the biggest and most prosperous yet enjoyed by business men everywhere. You can get th lion's share of this business by being a REGULAR ADVERTISER in the AFRO-AMERICAN, the biggest weekly newspaper in the East. WRITE OR CALL THE

Gnd after describing for us in decal
fourteen particular cases, draws 3
few conclusions:
1, Two-thirds have come from ar
environment differing widely from
that. in whlch they were reared.
OF this two-thirds, one-third wore
foreign born, chietly West Indian.
2, Seventy-aix por cent were Un

3. The percentage of ” jitteracy
was douple that of the percentage
Yor the Negro throughout the ety.
1. Bighofive per cent. had been
engaged In domestic service. The
per cent, for the Negro wage eurn-
br in the elty Was seventy-dne.
5. In two-third of the cases the
cniia was kept by the mother of
with relatives while she went out
to work.

gro mother who. has brought. into

1926-Stage's Biggest Year
Leading Stars, Shows, Film, Revues, Concert Singers And Musicians During Year
New York Music And Stage
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a list of shows, etc., that have made impressive contributions to 1926 and in our opinion are at the head of the year's list.
"A Prince Of His Race"
The Colored Film Player's Corporation, Philadelphia, produced the best film of the year. A prize-winning film, directed by Howard, Clayton, Harris and Mickey Airline featured. Oscar Michelsaux's "Spider's Web" is a runner-up.
Sissle and Blake's singing and musical act of twenty-five minutes is the outstanding vaudeville attraction. They offer five numbers, four of them in the musical Comedy Or Revue.
"Brown Skin Models", although not as talented as the impression, being artistic and spectaculé, "Kentucky Succ" is the "singingest" attraction reviewed in ages.
Eddie's revival of "How Comedy under the title of '4-11-41," now a Columbia Burlesque attraction, heads the list of plot-planning shows.
Concert Singers
Although Roland Hayes, is nationally acclaimed the foremost, Paul Roleson is busy earning laurels for his comedy and the acclaimed Tentil Tibbs heads the female singers. Composers "Crooning And Singing" and J. C. Johnson wrote the music for Miller's "Desires" and several Broadway successes along with Leigh Whipner and Helen Merger, also composer for several "white way" products, lead the recognized list.
Organist
Ubsses Chambers, organist at the Lafayette Theatre, New York City, a former Baltimore, is represented as 1926's foremost manipulator of the organ.
New York Mu
EX AFRO-AMERICAN SCRIBE
Down at the theatre Mayfair no less
a personage than the celebrated Chas.
Gilpin is starring again in the great
play "Emperor Jones" with excellent
success.
We were glad to see Mr. Gilpin in
the Times Square Zone. For this is

world here in the great American
Mr. Gilpin has impersonated the "Emperor Jones," character over fifteen hundred times, and Hall, Johnson, DANGERS.
The Hall Johnson, Singer, composed a male and female vocalists, gave a mid-night performance at the Fifth Playhouse. Thursday night with wonderful success, she represented a musical representative of musical variety of Spirituals by colored composers, street songs, blues, characteristic conversation, monologues. Other special offerings were: Marguerite Avery, soprano, Luckenback Roberts, composer and pianist, Tiberius Jones, bassist, "blues" inter奏er, George Stamper, humester and eccentric dancer.
Mme. Blanche Berry presented a group of her original compositions, directed by George Stamper, director of music also appeared as a most emblematic accompanist, as well as Langston: Hughes the poet. Tiberius Jones, $3 and $4 in the price. The work was based on the personal direction of Mr. Hall Johnson, composer. Lead Violinist of the famous Ed. K. Newcomer, member of X. Y. Chang, will be concerted again later in January.

Mrs. Eva Jessies, late of Baltimore, and her singing group, "The Dixie Jubilee Singers", lead all other recognized groups. **Revue Haskell** Because Haskell, so many of our artists are going over the top at the head of revues, we find it necessary to make three ratings, top honors going to Florence Mills, now heading to New York, and Baken featured dancer of Poles Bergere, Paris and Gertrude Saunders with "Red Hot Mama". **Johnny Hudgins** leads the males, while Jimmy Perguson, although using Jimmy's line, runs a close
Tap Dancers
Rector and Cooper are the foremost tap dancing team in America, while honors include a single go to Bill (Bojangles) Robbins and Producers
Ivin C. Miller, Billy Pierce and Leonard Harper are the outstanding performers. Miller has created three musical successes, "Modelled," "Red Hat, Mama" and "Desired," of which are runs. Billy Pierce has an international reputation, one of his biggest successes being "Colin," which has enjoyed a successful foreign run.
Harper has staged numerous recreational Connie's fun and various white and colored night clubs in New York. He is also responsible for the work in "Blueck River."
Along The White Way

The holiday bills at our local play
houses this week are both good.
The Royal bill is superb.
The Regent show has the best
choices but to me I think the show
folks haven't got the show adjusted
to the three-a-day. There is a little
grown girl with a heavy dress and rest
of the curtains. We are stood overdes
the modest vilt stunt. Her hair was
arranged in 1918 style. I suppose
because the women generally enough to
pick out the oldest and ugliest
dresses for herself. Until she opened
her mouth you wondered certainly
can sing, though. There is an en-
gaged conduit and a short one. The
long one can dance supery.
Besides being fast steppers, it
chours at the end of close harmony. They
also have three good tippers.
I never care much about seeing a show early Monday. It sometimes doesn't work so smoothly. I think that the picture is too blurry. The picture into Her Kingdom" was also nice. The virtue was rewarded as usual. The result being that the Daughter of the Czar of Russia gave up her Royal kingdom for the kingdom of love and adultery. Angels could no nothing more.
Clarence Muse
Chrence Muse has a fine show. A wonderful orchestra. There isn't much plot. But Roscoe Montello gets are as funny as can be. Mr. Montello doesn't allow his wife to play long with anyone but himself. She has certainly developed since she was a child. The show is still featuring "Bye, blackbird", which they introduced at the Palace. The dancing and singing were all of the highest order, and I think so much of the show. She said it was too CLEAN. Ye God! I certainly enjoyed many a legitimate laugh without hiding behind my hand. The dancers are a good feature. One called the Aephremon Kids' Club. There is also an eccentric dancer who is likewise good-looking. All in all, it is a fine show. I didn't mind it being clean. I rather enchanted other dancers is from the Club Akhlam. He can sing, dance and play.
The thorough cleaning that the Royal has received and the soft carpet which prevents disturbance as for leisure and feeds insulation to one's feet, together with the warmth and brightness of the theatre do much to add to one's enjoyment of the show.
The Royal Horsesmen of the Apocrypie is a splendid, picture. Rudolph Valentino plays the lead in his usual splendid way. The book is recognizable in the picture which is quite a rare thing for Hollywood to do.

PHILADELPHIA, (ANP.) — That perennial favorite story of fairyland, "Cinderella in Flowerland," drew a large crowd to St. Peter Claver's Hall last week when Mrs. Leona Knox Robinson, well-known in playground and recreation circles, presented her Percissive Javeline Pictures, her Peerless Javeline Pictures, playing the part well, while the proud sisters were Dorothy Wagner and Charlotte Evans, who carried off all the stuff they played. The piece, but for dramatic effect her spoken lines were almost wonderful. Elizabeth Vaughan was Godmother Nature; Charlotte Daisy was butterfly; white John M.

Eugene M. Martin, Violinist, Dead
BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN
NEW YORK CITY — Eugene M. Marx Jr. of the dreaded Martin-Smith School of Music, died suddenly on Thursday at his home. His death comes as a distinct shock to the music world, and before he was apparently in good health, and went about his duties as assistant. He was one of the first musicians, and had made a national reputation as a violinist. He succeeded his father, the late Martin-Smith, as director of the Martin-Smith School of Music, for three years ago. Young Martin began his musical training under his father, and played in concert when he was five years of age. He was born in New York, and was a graduate of Devitt University, where he played in the school orchestra. His higher musical education was received at The Institute of Musical Record, and where his playing attracted the attention of the faculty.
He has appeared throughout the country in a concert by the band courted from his Philip I. Phillip I. K Church on Sunday. Young Martin and his wife, Katherine, of the crude Martin a sister. Certrude Martin, a brother. David I. Martin, a small child, and several relatives.

Percy, Verwayne, former screen star, plays the lead singer and as straight characters, live their parts.
Two comedy doctors, Phil Giles and his brother, Phil is a funny boss. Phil proves a good running mate. Phil's dancing, although not new, is done in the same way as Danny Cordett does well as maddy.
Dancing Fetence
The only thing this show is the dancing, and the "gunge", from principals to chorus, really can dance. Ton honors went, to Gregory the combs, to the orchestra they will be able have their own act or be handlers on anybodies' time. Al Rogers and Charlie Costen showed the former they also were no slouchs as dancers.
Junior Shelton and Albert Lancester contribute nicely, the latter featuring prominently all through the show.
Junior Pledge, who hails from Boston, plays a wicked uke, whistles, spoons and jazzy tea spoons. The Duncan Sisters of, topped and even "were" to show and were so impressed with his work that they hired him. He has also worked on the bill with the late Harry Houdini. He strums his uke the whole show gets itself to together and ends up with a flourish. There are some nice lookers in the chorus. The members are Annie Parks, Billie Bow and Ethel Taylor (who appeared here with "Runnin' Wild". The boys are Lawrence Wanger and Lawrence Darden.
Love is one game, says Mrs. Anna Ondis, 1727 Carlisle Place, in which he finds it easy to handle the music.

ROYAL CLOSES YEAR WITH EXCELLENT BILL
Chronec Musse's Show Among High Spots Of Year's Bookings at Theatre
If you look back on the shows which the royal Theatre furnished in the year 1926, you'll have to determine Baltimore's own son, the musician and as pleasing a show as any one.
Turning and twisting the present in any way you can, you will not not and few spots which are exceptionally strong.
Opening chorus is one of those likeable things that you can't get enough of.
Following the Rossee and Faustine with a song and bit of soft shoe dancing.
Marie Gongzlz leads the chorus in Charleston number that is fast and furious. Then comes Hope Black and Johnny Brugg. How those two dance feet that do wonders.
In the opening, Miss Gongzlz does her mammy song and you can't blame the audience for becoming, a show any day.
Grace Smith and Rupert Marks break into the scene here and start playing the wildly known and need only to appear to get big hands. Blackbirds
Miss Natalie choirs the chorus with "blackbirds" and an appropriate picture is thrown showing birds in light. This film novelty is based on a song by Montella and Skeeter Winston know how to put the comedy across. They get away with a lot of mischief, beside being very good dancers.
Billie McDonald and Lillian Jackson, two members of the chorus, play the same routine. Lillian is a dendringer for Ethel Waters in looks.
After a bit of humor by Skeeter, she sings and put on show all their own. An eccentric piano player, running away with first honors. It is a great song and her biggest hit. Her dancing, singing and splits, fairly riot.
Mactis proves himself a capable
man, when he appears
Pedro the Mexican.
Henry Lee and partner sure can sing. Lee furnishing the music with a in a 'dancing contest between Hope, Lee and Bragg, the former hops, the latter the others are unusual hands. John Henderson, prominent juvenile lead with his songs and personality. Three artistic poses follow in which Mushe's has eclipsed all participants. "Brown Skin" beauties.
Pauline has looks, can dance and
bring a smile to her capable of
bringing, female smile.
The chorus is full of local girls so need we say more. It is peppy, speedy and full of unusual good lookers. The biggest headlined is Muse himself, whose vew pocket edition of Dr. Jekyle and Mr. Hyde is a new aloe. He proclaims the distinct characters, changes voice and costumes unaled. He is the equal of Barrymore, Shen, or Mansfield and of him. The whole show is good, with lots of fast work.

STAR
Reynald's show Neil Revue brings a mixed show to the patrons of the Star this week. By mixed we do not refer to race or color, but to a mixture of good and pur features.
The chus does not work in unison and all the etching is of a poor quality.
The causing of Johnnie Wiggins and Kid Wiley is not only clever but well executed, gut it well deserves an alpause that the audience can give. The jokes are good with, very few exceptions.
Snookums McDowell, who is a handsome lad of possible eighteen, puts over some exquisite stature, but he counts among the big time stars if he continues to work.
The whole company stars as an unhappy jungle man jokes those syncopated wild cubs he can be satisfied by the Neil Revue.
The company Annie Wiggins and Josie Nelson leads; Willie Lawson, straight; Estella Young, Walter Wright and Wilma Perkins, choir.

Ten years ago Detective George Williams, known as, the "Santa Claus" brought joy to the hearts of children in the city of "Brotherly Love." It was an annual custom of Mr. Williams to bring cheer to the hearts of children in the city. He said, "I have five hundred are all shapes, and sizes, creeds, nationalities and colors, but they are poor and that is all that counts with us. We all hold that same feeling as Detective Williams, back in 1916. Was Christmas to you just a day to receive the gift of the poor around you? — Friend's come, and friends go, but the poor, we have; with us always, so let us look to the comforts of our friends, and not what we give, but we give.
This: desk wishes to thank the numerous ones that helped him to be impossible to answer them all, but any way we honestly: and <u>tully</u> appreciated them.
"To the theatrical field in general we wish you A Happy and Prosperous New Year and to such notables Marguerite and with dimine Cooper's Revue, Doc Gardner of Shuffin' Sam company" and "the Four-Eleven, Marguerite and with dimine Cooper for your 'greetings.' May success in abundance ever abide with you.

“The Negro is king, and how

CAST OF 75 IN AFRICAN PLAY "THE RIVER"
BURBANK, CAL, DEC., (PCNB)
"The River" a thrilling cinema
melodrama of Northern Africa is
the most pretentious production
now being filmed at the new Bur-
bank Studios of First National Pro-
ductions. It is being made by the
National Productions, with Lewis Stone
as star and King Baggot directing.
Being an African story, the principal
"atmosphere" of course, is
black, so most of the best "Black
Stars" not engaged elsewhere, are
acting with Lewis Stone to make
this a really great production. At
present headed by Nathan Curry,
some 15 actors and actresses are re-
presented daily to the First National
Studio.
Have Import Bits
Charlie Moore and Ernest Wilson
have been instructed with two of
the most important "bits" that have
come up to date, altho the produc-
tion has only been running seven
days in the scenes. Nathan
Curry and Daisy Bufford will have
some prominent work.
Ten dancing girls, Celestet Allen, Eugenia, Prayer, Celestet Brooks, Katherine Garrett, Mildred Harris, Ena Mae Johnson, Millie Kendrelx, Ena Mae Johnson, Millie Kendrelx, Woodson, last Monday did an African dance that will stand out in the finished production. Several days will be spent on location, Balboa and Needles, California, are the places that have been spent at Balboa and a week at Needles on the Colorado River.

Bojangles Breaks Ice In Chicago
LOS ANGELES, CALIF., Dec. (NCNB.)—The name of "Bolanges" in the Legion Club cabaret advertising caused the "S. R. O." sign to be put out at that popular place of amusement last year. The world's Greatest Single" not only made a personal appearance at the Club but he brought with him Dora Maughn and Walter Fohl (white) otter Orpheum headliners.
Thanks to "Bolanges" the coffers of the Benjamin J. Bowte Post of the American Legion are the past materially strengthened, "Bill" Robinson left Wednesday for Salt Lake City on his way east over the Orpheum circuit and soon he will open at the Palace Theatre in Chicago for two weeks breaking the ice for our performers at that house.

Miller's Desires Brings $3.50 Top
Cleveland, O.—"Desires of 1927" is still moving along, writes J. Homer Tutt, manager of Miller's youngest and seemingly most successful show. Managers and owners of the Ohio theater here saw our show at the Globe, December 8th, and booked a return engagement at the Ohio, one of the finest theatres in Cleveland, as the first Colored attraction to ever play this house. Some of the critics said the show did not appeal to the Colored or Scandals, while others declared we acted white reviews, but Miller and "Desires" was built for the T. O. B. at A. at 75 cents top and is now getting from $1.00 to $3.50 top. One critic said, "Desires" has as much right to steal ideas from white reviews as to buying and the Negro introduces-calling attention to the Charleston and to the black bottom.

Picture 5. Assertion of Carroll Owens, at the Bethel Forum Sunday, that the races are not equal created a sensation which the chairman ended by making him take his seat immediately.
"Merry Makers"
WASHINGTON—The "Merry Makers" successfully passed a second week-end run at the Lincoln Saturday night with little Dora. Wyatt, Charleston specialist in the feature blit.
Miss Wyatt, a juvenile is no newcomer to the local theatre geers and went over well as a promising little danceuse. James Price and Katherine Mallary, a dancing team come on next with a few of Rector and Cooper's steps, which seem to be all the vogue with dancers and shows lately.
Melha's Jazzers closed the bill with an attempt to play some of the late dance hits. The boys were a joke.

Miss Louise A. Smith, 1717 Pressstman street, wins the first prize this week of $2.50 for three excellent household hints. They are:
Add a small amount of sugar to meat when too much salt has been used, this takes away the extra salt without spoiling the flavor of the meat. It works equally well when too much salt has been added to soup.
A little ammonia added to the dishwater will remove all trace of fish or onion odor from the dishes.
By using hot, moderately strong washing soda water to clean hairbrushes, the bristles of hairbrushes will remain white and stiff for a long time.

As we gathered around the dinner table one day, my little cousin asked her mother:
"Mama, where do eggs come from?" Mama, where do eggs come from?
After a moment's thought Betty asked. Betty's mother did not know how to apply them to the cake. Her mother had broken the shell of their eggs.
Mrs. Elizabeth DeVan, 2104 Atlantic City, wins the third prize and true recipe for fruit cake after the holidays as before:
Two pounds raisins; 2 pounds currants bitron; 4 level teaspoones Royal baking powder and eggs; add molasses and milk, then two clour, add spices and flavoring, lastly add powder. Make in a slow oven, 235 degrees F.
From the moment's thought Betty asked, "Well, where do eggs come from?"
Betty's mother did not know how to apprehend her in this manner, because no longer than the week before her mother had told her that four little chicks had broken the shell of their eggs.
Mrs. Elizabeth DeVan, 210½ North Maryland avenue, Atlantic City, wins the third prize of $1.00 for the following tried and true recipe for fruit cake. She says it is just as good after the holidays as before:
Two pounds raisins, 2 pounds currants; 1 pound brown sugar; ½ pound bittern; 4 level teaspoons Royal baking powder; 3 eggs; ½ cup of molasses; 1 cup milk; 4 cups flour; ½ nutmeg, grated; ½ teaspoon allspice. Cream butter, sugar and eggs, add molasses and milk, then two cups of flour. Mix fruit with one cup flour, add spices and flavoring, lastly add cup of flour, well sifted, with baking powder.

THE BAY HAMMAM, 1430 Carroll street
With earless arrogance, a swish of running fires, and a swirl of car that encamped all the Nazis and Zuland and party stopped at the Manhashin kirael, the royal kraal of Solomon Dinkulak, King of the Nazis on suspicion and fear, curiosity, and delight at strange visitors stamped all visible faces. One unruffled woman leaned against her position, watched all proceedings dispassionately, and registered a cynical amusement. Her attitude was more than persuasive. "That," said Chief Magistrate Fynny, without waiting to be asked, "is Christina! If Christina's beard hung over her head, Chief Magistrate was conclusive. Christina was a personage! At close range she was charming, and Christina was in her blue Mother Hubbard and black throuched head. For Christina garbed her body and soul in Christianity, undoubtable Zulu. That was her tragedy.
Christina learned at the mission church that Christians marry the men why she smiled and looked with ravior on John, and loved John, a common sweep of the knight and shapey, was the subject of wily speculation among the elders of the tribe. Many a day they deliberated on well-placed ground in the church, the price of the tribe. After considerable negotiation a suitable important and well-placed ground was encountered. Cetaway, King of the mighty Zulut, whose word was law in the tribe, sent for his daughter to the tribe, and her of the forthcoming marriage.
Christina announced she was a Christian and would marry only the man of her choice. Cetewayo laughed at even the suggestion of such an alliance. John or no one was Christina's final word. But he did not admit the omnipotent obdurate despite the progress of arrangements for the marriage, Cetewayo, grim and threatening, endeavored to explain that Zulah only marry a man of noble blood, a man of her own or approximate rank. When Christina pined and sighed as do all love their maledicts regardless of the color of their skins. Christina's maiden was the attention of the local missionary. "What nonense is this, Christina?"

*You and John are fine young people sturdy, honorable, and faithful members of the church. You will make a fine young couple. Leave the kraal; will find work for you. Let me man you.*
*You don't understand.* Christina assured him. "A Zulu cannot marry without the consent of the Zulu king Win my father's consent, and John King
Promptly the local missionary visited Cetewayo and urged the marriage of Christina and John, but with no intention of marrying Christina's and John's romance, and went of their own accord to visit Cetewayo to win his consent to the marriage, but to one and all Cetewayo's answer. At daughter and sister of Zufu Kings cannot marry a commoner." Finally the Bishop heard of Christina and John and of their obstacle to happiness. "This is silly business," she said. "We forthwish ordered the marriage of Christina and John. Again Christina explained. "I want to marry John and John wants to marry me, but I want to marry my king. Don't order me to marry; win the consent of my king."
So the Bishop journeyed to call on the King of the Zulus. And the king, a man well versed in the niceties of rank, appreciated the position of a dictator respected in the land of the Zulus. The Bishop, thanking him humbly for the honor conferred by the visit, showed him every courtesy of the kraal, and showed him with headwear and skins. The Bishop, knowing his regrets not to be able to grant the Bishop's request, but surely the Bishop would understand that laxity in the king's conduct would be subservient of discipline to all the sons and daughters of the tribe. The Bishop's visit closed the affairs of Christina and John.
Ceteway died, and his son Dinizzula ruled in his stead. Christina appealed to her father, who too died, while Christina and Joan maintained unmarried. Solomon, Christina's nephew, many years her junior now reigned. Solomon wears tric bracelets on his wrist, a large cap, and drives about in high-powered automobiles. It is rumored that Solomon does not take ancient books as a form of humor. Christina appealed to him.
Solomon assured Christina that his sympathy, was with her; that he would like to see her happy, but if he could be done at the sacrifice of respect for her, he would not traditions had to be maintained. Did he not have forty wives, a strain on his time and attention; because the tribe expected it if him? Members of the tribe would have to put the interests of the tribe first. Christina had made a mistake, but it was too late, for though she, was getting old a good husband would be able to see she had better; forget John. Christina asked asking permission to marry.
When I saw Christina she was nea-

had died. Neither one of them had
ever married.
Christina, a daughter of the ancient house of Zulu, whose basic creed is the one of the African people gone the pleasure and prestige of family life. She had remained true to her lover, for she had loved no one other than her husband. She her church, for she had refused to marry except at the dictates of her heart; she had remained loyal to her husband without the consent of her King. But not even Christina realized that she had been a slave side her supreme independence; that she had pitied her own sense of right, and stood out alone against the most powerful country in which she had been born, the Christian church and the Zulu state.
When card sharps play among the African people the motto seems to be: All things are good.

Youth, Romance and Avoidupols
By Ralph Matthews
The third installment of a humorous series by the author of "Heard and Seen in the City," which understands young Bain timoreans and Knows their haunts. It was two-thirty and the New year's party of Jimmy Rickow was staged on the window by a patrolman had caused the bolstered joy-makers to release the large pans where they plunked out jazz tunes mostly on the black keys, and retire to the deeper recesses of the dining room for a shot of the million of the law. Chairs, tables and all other furnishings were plucked out of the phone stand which held the punch box, and addition from hip pocket fasks had made extremely interesting, were reloaded to kitchen cabinets, but which lacked none too gently, to make dancing space. The strains of a jazz hand gesture gave but which made them just loud enough to hear above the shuffling feet and not too loud to arouse the neighborhood, as Jimmy fingered the dial.
The station from whence they came mattered little to that huddled bunch of boys and girls, half-southern and half-urban, their lives before the juvenile festivities came to an end and sent them back to their respective schools. Royster, usually gay, unreserved, especially where pretty girls and doped punch was in evidence, was ill at ease. The night had been wonderful, he had looked forward to the day of his roommate, Jimmy Ricketts, not merely because Jimmy was known to throw wild and woody parties, but because to this one he was to be giving dance. Jimmy dealt to Jack during these holidays, her southern milk and honey disposition had brought something unexpected into his life. It was a peculiar affinity that he contracted about every six months brought on by the sight of another pretty face but this was not a serious attack he had even suffered.
But Janice was angry. She did come to the party with him and from eleven until one he had drunk and from eleven until one he had drunk and since he had also drunk too freely from the impoverished punch bowl. Not that Janice objected to the party, but Janice carried, but Jack had developed an unquenchable thirst that made each glass take the same action of so much oil poured on a flame, so her persevered gently when he dropped the expense that he took from the mantlepiece. A little more severely when he pulled down the portieres from the hallway. She was angry when he hid the remainder of his ice cream in a girl's new hat which he found on the floor. She played her real feelings until she caught him kissing Kitty Sanderson under the mistletoe when there wasn't any mistletoe. She was a minor offense but it grew in magnitude when Janice learned that Kitty was Jack's old sweetheart and that young lady had spread the report that she could take him back at home.
Jack was sober now: some one had just made it clear to him that Janice had asked one of the boys to see her home and had left in a huff. He was just debating in his mind whether the best thing to do was to call her up right now and apologize or wait until next day when Kitty offered to help him out of his difficulties.
"Now the thing to do Jack," she explained is to go down town and buy her a nice present. And really I'm sorry that this has happened that I want to help you right yourself. I'm frightfully sorry Jack, you know I honestly am but you are so strong and it was so much like what used to be—don't you Jack—honestly wish o!W-w wish for those days back again Jack—honestly don't you?"
The girl was so close to him her head was tilted back and her lips were puckered almost invitingly. She was pretty and he could feel her warm breath against his face. Jack was above all an opportunist. He kissed her first and then said, "I didn't quite understand your question."
"I'll go down town with you tomorrow and help you pick out a nice present," continued Kitty, "how dear and deal as I said before I feel partly to blame and I wouldn't have you leave her on account of me and wouldn't Jack, even if you insisted but you can see me home, just for old times sake."
"Not that you at two tomorrow, or that you at today," reminded Jack as he left her at her door just as the milk-man was gathering the empty bottles off the white stone step.
"Bediously Jack rang the doorbell and was admitted to the Anderson household in much the same way he had been in town," he made no comment when Kitty's very gossipy cadd remarked that that she was glad to that he and Kitty had made it up again.
"She was pleasantly unaware that just a few moments before his entry Kitty had just hung the receiver from calling up Janet, the informant, to take her invitation to attend her little whist party that afternoon. Jack might have heard the following conversation had he been a few
"Honest Janice, dear, I am so sorry that I cannot get over to your honesty am, but I have a date with Mr. Royster at two and you know how awfully fussy he is when one keeps him waiting. He due now wants to do some shopping and he insists upon my accompanying him. He thinks I have such exquisite taste, you love your honesty does, you care you leave me soon last night, dearle. We actually stayed out so late that if Jack hadn't brought me home last night, I would have been afraid to come: home at all."
There was an entirely different expression on the faces of the two men, and the after that conversation. On the face of one人 was a smile of victory, on the other a bitter smile. This bitterness was augmented when one of the guests at the card party tactfully met Jack Roster and Kilty Sanderson looking at rings in Kays Jewelry Store, before the expression on her face was of the host told her that she had spilled the beans. She simply got to Do it, Jillmy, deplaged Jack fushed. "Got to understand?" I’ve tried every method I know to get in touch with

*Janiece and she refuses to see me. You've got to explain to her.* Jimmy Rickenbacker, a humpous, bouncy man, all of his 200 pounds in a strenuous mental effort. Jimmy couldn't understand for the life of me, and themselves to get worked up over any girl (he called them Broads). But his friend and roommate, a peculiar frame of mind and it was up to him to help him out. All right. He's some kind of ground there and spill that Jane such a line that she will think you are the Prince of Wales. You can call on whatever on around.*
Retaliation was the thought that popped in the head of Janice Medcalm and the admit Jimmy Ricketts. Jimmy's jovial expression was gone as was it's wont when he had a very serious mission to perform. Jimmy's form active at best and in the presence of pretty and attractive women it was with a great deal of care. Jimmy's form active at best came surprise that he had a handsome face his full moon countenance and other exaggerated proportions prevented him from being a lady of the moment. Nearly an hour had passed during which Jack was seated before the phone in Jimmy's hallway, had smoked a cigarette, had accesses of cigarettes and tossed the butts in the umbrella holder; before the magic call came.
"Shall I come now?" almost yellowed in his eyes, himself that Jimmy's jovial

So engrossed was Jimmy Ricketts in his newly found romance as he stood in the long line waiting to gain his own attention. He did not notice the big touring car containing several young men of his own age until the loud blowing of the horn attracted his attention. He watched the car leave his high charge and consented to come to the curb to see what they wanted. They were all his school chanters and enthusiasts, unaware that his position in the line, just behind the laughing Janice was filled by a less youthful mix. We are you hobbies insisting upon me going riding for when you know I've got to take this dame in the show? Whaasa matter you leisurely? You can't you make a match with like me? "Oh, you might as well come along because the lady doesn't seem to want to wait for you." This was the way you must have your massive body just in time to see his new love pass through the door and a young man, seemingly her escort, hand the doorman his hand. The long man was his pal, Jack Roster.
"You can't trust wimmen no how." vowed Jimmy as he dropped heavily into the back sea of the boat, then into the him cigarette from one of the occupants.

He was then filled by any other inmate of any race. During this series he i. will duell intimately on certain phases of prison life rarely if ever, disclosed to the public.
MORE ABOUT TREE PRISON OUT much as I would have enjoyed so my match I was too timid to venture BREAK.
The writer was still perched on the bottom of the stairs not daring to move to the right or left and expected a very close call to death for the one on my right who had more spirit of bravado than good judgment kept taunting the office with the gun and admiring him while shooting, etc., and each time he levelled his gun our way I felt it was my first monster. Walterson had been carried out of the building the crowd subdued and we were permitted to go our way, but we were not permitted to enter. I felt a solace could be found. I played a few tunes on my victoria for that was all with which I could soothe my unrest for unstrung they certainly were.
Up to this point Perry the most hardened of the attackers did not realize that a jail-delivery was not in progress. They all rushed into the west cell-block and as is customary with a crowd when one suggests something they all follow the lead in building down and kerosene can were quickly gathered together, thrown on the wooden partitions separating the two cells in progress of construction and set atire. It was not long before the block was filled with smoke and it became so hot that the leader as soon as he stepped out. To escape suffocation for all was impossible and to gain freedom even more remote. We were trapped, clinging myself, appealed to Perry and convinced him that escape was impossible with the result that leader as soon as he stepped out and eagerly the followers set about to obey his commands. If it had not been for the saneness of this act no doubt a different history would have been written of the initial 11th day of December 1921.
The guards were frightened, beyond description and made no attempt to the result that riot and madness predominated the entire afternoon. The state police, some miles away, had been called in before they arrived. Those who signified a willingness to be locked in their cells were permitted to arrive, and were permitted to room around the cell-block at will. I chose to be locked in. Perry coaxed and cajoled him into a gate of checkers for as he expressed it when the state police would arrive he would be given a passport and a gate of checkers past it them to give him the "black-bottle." Perry was a keen student of checkers as was the writer but
Within Prison Walls BY AN INSIDER
From A Woman's Viewpoint
"Other Interests"
"I certainly don't agree with everything that precious David of yours said in that article you wrote here. I didn't think of insulting your intelligence by telling you that the speaker was a man. "I didn't expect it, and what you don't agree with is the part about women having other interests besides their husbands," was my answer. I looked a little sheepish but spoke up stoutly. "Of course, I don't agree with you. I am sensible man would? You modern women are trying so hard to get away from the home and your true man would be sensible man would? To form." I applauded. "In fact, what you have just said is so typically nineteenth-century masculine wrestling without any arguments on you. However, you really may be more intelligent and sensitive than you were." At this point I judiciously took any possible sting out of my remarks by handing out a book and expansive smile before I went.
"In the first place, I know you'll admit that a man knows what interests you. In life according to the number of worthwhile interests he has. In fact, his growth is in direct proportion to the range and character of his interests. Now why should this he any less true for a wo-
"Women's needs are different from a man's. It doesn't take all that to run ahome, answered her. Men so often wear this air when they are arguing with a woman. They can't seem to realize that things aren't so just because "That's just where you're wrong," contradicted finally. A woman is just as much in need of a man as she is of developing factors of life to do her work well as a man is. The home is what she makes it, and she makes it. The more highly trained and properly developed she is as an individual, the better the home she can manage." The better home she makes, nothing. "That's exactly when she doesn't want to make a home at all," trumpfully stated the
"Not all women," I declared. "Of course. I'm perfectly willing to admit that in many cases her new friend has lost all sense of value and production, but will cure that. It is merely a phase. Old Mother Nature will bring her back back and back, and she'll use the reloseness of her variety of interests to make better homes than the world has ever known. You mean by 'all those who belong back?'
I hugged. "Now, I know I AM going to shock you," I said, "but I don't. I am not a home-makers. I believe there are those—comparatively few in number, than fortune—who are home-makers, that line, and I have known men who have had the homemaking instinct to a romantic degree. I am not a home-makers are no blanket rules in life. And Dame Nature has her joke every now and then. However, her busiest encounters, so she doesn't crack many,
much as I would have enjoyed such a-match I was too timid to venture from my cell on that day and there I was. Early the next morning word trickled in that the deputy-warden had died during the night and that his son had been taken down town and that he expected momentarily. There are some who never respect even death and to this news there were loud shouts of gusto and approval while the science were sad and mournful as was the writer. The entire prison was locked in their cells for, the day but the writer, a front office officer, was permitted to attend my duties as usual.
The front office was a despairing sight. On the one side with death in the deputy's quarters and near death in the office, certainly bore a desolate appearance. On the day of the deputy's funeral the Warden was rushed down-town to a hospital as it was felt he could no longer afford the aid of firmer stuff and he lingered for about five weeks before finally departing. The day he was buried and Mrs. Catlin began preparations to leave I felt as though I had been left behind for friends they certainly had been to me. The prison was entirely upset, no attempt to maintain order was beaten, and I felt alone and took charge of affairs and a policy of tolerance was instilled.

"You women are never satisfied. I like to know what you all want, any way. To get more out of this home-making business, that's all." I flashed. "We're tired of handling the biggest challenge in this little consideration outside of poetry and air-air. We want deeds, not words; and were not made out representation. We insist upon having some rights and privileges as human beings and making must respect. We want what other workers of the world are striking for,—more returns for our work, more making must respect for individual enjoyment and development. And, if that be treason, make the most of it. It is making my woman's prerogative of having the last would, I left, knowing full well that a man convinced against his will,—upon the subject of women" of the same opinion still."

Little Accidents or Big Catastrophes
What we are going to do about the innumerable little, irritating accidents which tear the children's clothes or work disaster to the household in one or more of the many other ways? Is it really a momentous occasion to wear cloth-cleaned, easily soiled, the filthiest, or the stockings torn? Those things are merely little pimpricks of every day life to the wise mother. The principal care should be to avoid making them seem such terrible catastrophes that they upkeep themselves so they do serious harm to the child nature.
"Oh, dear! Mama, see what I done." The little girl's eyes were wide and she came into the kitchen holding on to her bleeding knee and soiled, torn stocking. "And that right up" said her mother, setting it cheerfully.
"Of course, it is too bad it happened, but we won't worry over it. I know you are as careful as you are with your clothes so as to help Mother."
"I remember when Brother was a little boy I sat mending his stockings and how you get so many little holes in your stockings." 'Well, you see, Brother explained, all when play, my stockings catch on things and tear.' I guess you must be like Brother, ended her mother with a smile. 'I said to me, "said the little girl with a graziel hug. "I don't mind the bump on my knee, but I was so afraid you could粘 about the hole in my stockings.'

This child was of the sensitive type to whom a scolding beats on the ear like blows on the heart. A girl who is not a teacher, a sensitive kindness for the bruise, and a swift mending of the stocking soon destroyed all the trouble, and a loving, happy child wont out to play, knowing that her mother will afraid to tell her mother anything.
A girl just entering her teens was staying with an aunt one summer, and in carrying a picture across the floor she dropped it and it broke. The girl was clapped her hands tightly and cried piteously, "Oh! don't hit me, I didn't mean to do it."
"What do you mean! Of course I wouldn't hit you—especially for you," she said. "But I have always been hit when I broke anything," flattered the young girl, and she drew a long breath of relief, as she realized that her broken pitcher was not a calamity.
Adults often have accidents which are annoying, but beyond an imminent regret, little notice is taken of them. Why then should children's minds be impressed with the unforgettable accidents? Usually such an attitude makes them more nervous and awkward and leads to further accrual of their accidents. The inevitable annoyances occur to remedy them quickly and cheerfully with the children's aid, in a matter of seconds. Children may also avoid future mishaps. When children are habitually careless it may be wise to suggest that they wear a seatbelt and replace broken airbags, paying perhaps half of the price, or that they assist in buying new clothes to replace those damaged. Most children do not wear a seatbelt, so it is presented to them in a kindly way, as they know it is fair and just, and they feel the dignity of being treated with reason and consideration.

Woman Educator Makes European-American Tour With One Small Handbag
Mrs. W. F. Crockett, Hawaiian Teacher And Daughter Of The Late Rev. W. P. Rider Is Now Visiting In The States
How that a lone woman traveled through Canada, England, Wales Ireland, France and a large part of the United States, with all of its resources, to visit Hawaii this week by Mrs. W. F. Crockett, Hawaiian teacher and daughter of the late Rev. W. P. Rider, a native host, Mrs. Crockett, whose home has been in Wailuku, Malu, Hawaii, for the last twenty-five years. Mrs. W. H. Rice of Frederick, were guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George W. F. McMhegan, did not state just that she was a Hawaiian, a banding contained, but she coyly showed a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN the handbag as a symbol of her experiences and some of her problems, and some of her experiences in the Hawaiian Islands.
Hawaiian children are all a part of one class. She also sates that the Hawaiian people themselves have amalgamated with all racial groups in the United States, when the pure-blooded Hawaiian will pass out of existence. Islands contain about $30,000 inhabitants and for the most part they are agriculturists. More than 40 per cent of the entire population are Japanese, whom she says are the most progressive people in the island. There are about 26,000 Americans, most of whom are white, those being only a small number of American colored people.

For a number of years, Mrs. Crockett has been a teacher in the islands. She was formerly the daughter of the Rev. W. P. Rider, who for many years served as pastor of Metropolitan M. E. Church in Baltimore. Her husband, the Rev. W. F. Crockett, is the Chief Justice in the Hawaiian courts and has been a resident in the island for twenty-six years.
Some idea of the Crockett attachment for their newly adopted home may be gleaned from the fact that twenty-six years ago the Rev. Mr. Crockett went on a mission to the islands for the Hawaiian Planters Association, and liking the place, sent for his family where they have remained since.
28 Nationalities
In the Hawaiian Islands, according to Mrs. Crockett, 23 nationalities live together in perfect harmony, and there is no segregation in their school systems, nor in their civic or social life.
Some idea of the problems of the people also may be gained by the fact that in Mrs. Crockett's classroom, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Philippines, Russians, Japanese and

She also sates that the Hawaiian people themselves have a history and that it is only a matter of time when the pure-blooded Hawaiian will pass out of existence. They contain about $300,000 inhabitants and for the most part they are agriculturists. more than 40 per cent of the entire population are Japanese, whom she says are the most progressive people in the island.

Stowaway Is Back Learned 3 French Words While Abro'd
CLEVELAND, O., (P.N.)—George Martin, aged 23, arrived in New York last week from a more or less empty apartment in the labs, and left for France, knowing but three words of French and practically no cash. For some time Martin had been employed in the job, one day he made up his mind to see France and accordingly went over as a stowaway. Then he was in France his travels were exceedingly monotonic for he was constant in his inability to furnish another, he said, had resulted in his arrest, "I said 'bon jour'," he explained, "and I said 'I will be there, which probably conceived me of everything in France." Martin told newspaper men that his next trip he would certainly have his papers as well as know more French words.

Persistent cough and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Cremulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Cremulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent cough and colds and other of trouble troubles. Cremulation contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the skin of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Cremulation is guaranteed satisfactory treatment of persistent cough and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions.

The Winters Of Baltimore
To state the exact beginning or ending of winter in a climate scene, you can use the word possible; but averages taken over fifty years or more show that in Baltimore the ninety coldest days begin about December 5th and end about March 15th. I think is the most accurate way of arriving at the length of our winter. Again, if we divide the ninety days into three periods of thirty days each, then find that the period differs from the others in several ways.
First Period—Dec 8th to Jan. 7th
This period Legina with a normal temperature (Average over a period of fifty-five years.) This normal slowly drops until the end of the period. January 14th to January 21st is characterized by the shortest days, rainy, cloudy weather and cold rains. Very few heavy snowfalls occur, it being not unusual to see any snowfall whatever. Severe cold waves are rare, although in 1876, December 10th, with a minimum temperature of 65°F, the coldest day of the entire winter; and the most severe cold wave on record, by 1817, at least, on January 1, 1880-1883, when 5, 3 and 6 were recorded; and this is the only instance on record that snow occurs each year on these days. The deepest snow on record for this period just preceded this extraordinary (if id apell, for nearly two feet were on the ground) greatest snowfall.
in passing that the winter of 1880 to 1881 was one of the longest-on record throughout the whole country, there being ice two inches thick in Baltimore on November 15th, and in showers on November 28th in snowfall of November 28th remained until the latter part of March.
Second Period Jan. 7th to Feb. 6th.
The second period maintains a normal temperature of 34 degrees nearly constant. The most remarkable of Maryland weather occurs during this period. Of all recurring events, the most intense is the Indian summer, the equinoid storm, etc.) the regularity of the so-called January thwink makes it apparently the only phenomenon of the period of fifty-five years that January 29th to 25th has an average temperature of 34 degrees days preceding and following it. As far as I can find, there has been no extreme cold (5 de rees or lower) during this five-day period, while the coldest, is by far the most pleasant and least frequent of the three. The days, while not the coldest of the first period, and as a rule the skim is much less overcast than during either of the other-periods. Moreover, weather changes are much less pronounced and less than in either of the other periods.
Third Period—Feb. 6th to Mar. 5th.
The third period begins with a normal temperature of 34 degrees, on a morning of 39 degrees at the end of the period. This is by far the most discernible and trying part of winter by reason of its great extremes in temperature, cold and gold on March 4, 1873, (In Baltimore 5 to 14 degrees); the record depth of snow, thirty inches on February 13, 1892; the record cold degree, on ebony wood; the record fall of 52 degrees in fourteen hours on February 25, 1885; and the polar gale of February 1876 are within the memory of those who are still in March 4, 1899, is remembered by those who are still in the flush of youth. On the other hand, it is not rare for fruit trees to bloom in this period, only in winter. In 1888 the latest frost of the winter occurred on February 20th.
Brooks Of The Weather
One of the most notable of weather freaks was the unparalleled cold of March, 1843. The average temperature of that month was 30.4 degrees, or 12.4 degrees below the freezing point, below the next coldest March recorded in 1886. Two degrees was recorded on the 8th. An old German man named J. of driving a sleigh across the Gunpowder river twice on the 14th and 15th. On the 16th, along the entire seaboard and as far west as Pittsburgh, the snowfall ever recorded, probably. The Sun of March 17th gives the depth in Baltimore as about twenty feet of deafness of 25 and 30 feet high sound fabulous. However that may be, it was several weeks before the roads were opened. The most notorious of Maryland derers, Adam H. his wife wrote the storm, and, owing to the blockade, the crime was not discovered and announced until April 12th. A number of residents of different cities wrote to compare notes as to the time of the beginning of the storm; and The Sun later announced that he began a storm, 1.15 p.m. m.; New York 3.45 p.m. m.; Boston 12.10 a. m.; the 17th, at and at Pittsburgh, 10 a. m., with a fall of 26 inches in unmanaging the unbrooding houses. This was probably the first conclusive evidence of the SW-NE movement of storms although Franklin advanced probably in a letter to a friend in 1748.
Legends Which I Cannot Verify
On the last Saturday in September,
1756, snow fell and the ice
cumbersed. The earliest frost ever
recorded in Baltimore was on Octo-
bric iron was hauled across Bird-
river from the old Ridgely furnace
till the end of April.
In January 27, 1857, snow to a
depth of 9 inches fell in Baltimore
and it drifted so bodily that it reach-
ed the second story of many
citizens' houses. In August
1837, the farmers and farmers had
sleighing for the major part of the
month.

JOSEPH M. PRESS DIES WHILE ON VACATION
struction
Lack of facilities at John Hopkins University, which caused several hours delay in treatment, probably contributed to the death of Joseph Meltin Press, young Howard Senior, and many in a collapse following a three-day's illness, Sunday.
Young Mr. Press, who had come home Thursday for the holidays, was in poor health and illness. He was given medical attention and his condition was not considered serious until Sunday morning.

A. M. E. MINISTERS HEAR XMAS SERMON
The A. M. E. Ministers closed their meeting for the year last Monday with a Christian sermon by the pastor of Payne Memorial M. E. Church. The subject selected was The Shepherds and the Wise Shepherds. The Shepherds were the bishops of Mary and Joseph, who knew of the birth of the Saviour, said the Rev. Briscoe, and they were the Shepherds were the first to pay homage to the King because they were already on the plains of Bithchem, like the King, and they were well classed. The Shepherds were poor, illiterate people, while the Wise Men were rich and they carried gifts to the King. The Shepherds were poor, illiterate people in heaven and multitudes on earth, have worshipped this Saviour. Before the sermon, expression and praise served the King. A. R. G. Greene, pastor of Allen A. M. E. Church. This service was very impressive, leading up to the sermon by the blessings they had received in their work. The Rev. P. O. Bundick, said he praised the sermon and lived 54 Christian Days.
Next Monday, the New Year ser-
mon will be preached by the Rev
D. L. Miller, pastor of Union Wes-
ley D. C. M. E. Church.
Presbyterians
Rev. W. W. Walker, pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian Church was at his best last Sunday morning in his home. He was the story of The Wise Men. He first sketched graphically the Biblical narrative,—the long search of these learned distinguishability, and the start of their starry guidance, their interview with Herod, their finding the infant Christ, and the presentation of their gifts of gold, frankincense and cinnamon, both brilliant and striking application of several vitally important lessons to be learned from the Christmas story, which plainly impressed his audience. Beautiful anthms were rendered by the choir, and added to the effect the sermon in the morning wasiveness of the occasion. A great occasion, the Church preached by the Rev. Mr. Haskins in the usual good audience.
Christmas carols and the distribution of boxes of candy marked the accolades of the event. There was a large attendance, and the superintendent took advantage of the occasion to describe the joy given ten needy families by the school district by the Sunday School.
The pastor, Rev. I. T. Colbert, also announced the beginning with the new year, under the auspices of Miss Catherine Wyatt, young peoples' meetings would be held every Sunday at the church at six o'clock. A cordial invitation to participate is extended the public.
Counsel: "Now, sir, tell me, are you well acquainted with the prisoner? Witness: I've known him for twenty years."
Counsel: "Have you ever known him be a disturber of the public peace?"
Witness: "Well-er-he used to belong to a band."

BLUEFIELD PLANS MORGAN GAME
Basketball Prospects 'Bright At Bluedeck, W. Va. Institute
BLUEFIELD, W. VA.-At the call of Coaches Jefferson and Moore of the first Basket. Ball workout of the new season in the Bluedeck Gym.
Of the old men who composed the team of the country's best, only five remained. The two Holley boys, Leander and Perry, are not in school. This leaves the big blue baskets in the national bination. The two Holley boys are two of the best guards ever developed in West Virginia, and were the backbone of the team. Of last year's varsity, Brown, Buford, Hickman, Hayden, and Woods remain. This gives the coaches a good bunch to weld in machine like the fast team of 1329
The Bluefield Schedule has not been yet completed. Games with Morgan College and Wilberforce College have been hoped that the games with Union, Seminary, and Shaw will be renewed. The Union and Shaw teams are very popular. The College Institute Team will probably not play the Big Blue Team this year. The Bluefield School has not been able to get a game with the College Institute their teams have been so strong due to the fact that the Yellow Jackets will have little resistance to offer the fast flying big blues. Negotiations are under way with Howard and Lincolnville.

HOWARD ADOPTS 4 YEAR RULE FOR 1928
New Regulation Limits Athletic Competition To College Men
COLES, BROWN, ROSS HAVE 2 MORE YEARS
Basketball. Games Ahead With Lincoln, Morgan Fisk and Douglass
WASHINGTON, D. C.—That Coles, Brown and Ross, would play next year if there was any Howard and Lincoln game at all, was the statement of Coach Watson, Monday when ask concerning a reported assertion said to have been made by Prof. Grimm, Lincoln, that such men as the above would not be allowed to play in future games between the two schools.
```markdown
```
Dixie sports writers said Howard made the Lions the gout in the 1928 football clause, but Lincoln made Howard the gout by playing who did not conform to the eligibility rule.
One Year Rule
Not one Howard man participated in the recent game without adhering to the clause in the contract, but Howard either school with nine or more semester hours of credit would not be eligible to compete in the Howeon game until after one year of residence.
Young And Oswell
Young and Oswell game to Lincoln this year from Morgan College and Boston University, respectively, played in the Howard-Lincoln game, disregarding the clause. The game would have been protested but Coach Watson wanted to be fair. But one man on the Howard team played the game of any clause in the contract.
There will be a Howard-Lincoln game next year and Jack Coles, Dan Brown and Ross will be in the game. There will be a football, Coles, Brown and Ross have played two years on the Bison squad. All three entered as college and according to the eligibility rule still have two more years to play. Act that many students play football at various Southern "prep" schools before entering Howard. does not effect their status to play four years as long as they enter a freshman. **Hinton Out** Hinton, who entered Howard for football, allowed to play in the game with Lincoln because of the resident clause. He was one of the best players allowed to play in the game with Coach Watson did not use him. As long as Howard upholds the rules set forth each season, Lincoln or other school should worry about the outcome.
Next year will find two fellows from Union University by the names of James Howard and Howard team. And if the boys make good, watch them play. The girls make good, watch them play. The prens at Union does not matter, because they are members of the freshman class this year and will have passed the eligibility rule next
No. Advantage
Howard has never had any ad-
vanantage, and lost will decide that better
than anything else. The Lions have

New Rule
Beginning September, 1928, no student will be eligible for intermission for four years of college work or has a bachelor's degree. Combination collegiate and professional players have played two, or three years may compete until they have played four years.
Classic Certain This Year
Lincoln. A. not affect the Classic for 1927, as the contract for the game was signed in January, 1925. And the conference does not affect the Southern Conference at their meeting several weeks ago, which gives the schools permission to play teams or collegiate rank outside the North Jersey Lincoln game certain for next season.

Texas Scrapper Who Later Became Champ Fell Victim
To Joe Choynski
Under New Ruling C.I. A. A. Teams May Play Howard
(In N. Y. World)
Bryan Russell R. Chowdhury
By-Joseph B. Choyniak
Downtown, a gigantic black jacket, Jack Johnson by name, was beginning to attract attention in 1901. He had an attack, knocked Chicago heavyweight, who had achieved sudden fame by a one-round knockout of Kid McCormack, and McCoy revenged himself later by almost murdering McCormack in a return engagement. Johnson had also stepped twenty rounds to a victory, and McCoy heavyweight of repute in those days. But I saw nothing disturbing in this record. I guarded Johnson as I watched the Texas Rangers promoters offered me $800 and two return tickets to meet their colored champ I gladly accepted. I looked on this match as a sort of training when I reached Calveston I learned that the Texas Governor had ordered out the Texas Rangers if the law is violated. The promoters had been pulling off fights with men not so well known, and if the law was violated there would be nothing serious done; that the Rangers would simply preserve order in the event of a social trouble if the black man fights.
It turned out later that "all concern," which included Joe Choynowski, and I seemed from the penitentiary, and sent thirty days in the Galveston jail.
When Johnson and I crawled thru the jail, we stood up for the customary referee to watch us, before going to work, we looked like a tableau of David and Gollath. I discerned in my opponent a wondrous character, and I condition to the handicap in weight and size, I was spotting Johnson ten years in age. I was no longer a child, and far from being thirty-three. But fortery my punch was far from decrepit.
Quick Figuring At Start
As we squared away in the first discovery, we discovered that Johnson was clever in his set-up. In fact, I had never met a better defensive fighter. "This is going to be a long scram," I said to him, and I figured to win by a decision.
Johnson boxed with extreme caution. He seemed to have great restraint and round, when his advisers urged him to cut loose, Johnson called back rather hotly, "This isn't Me! You're not going to be careful to night--doggie careful." However, toward the close of the round Jack did loosen the weathervane we had seven puppery exchanges, was hard to hit. The third round had been under the fighting fairly even. Suddenly opened up with a lead, and I pulled the old conviencer solid to the floor, where the fellow picked out a nice spot on the rink floor and curled up for a nap. The last I heard from his corner, Johnson protested, angrily to his collar, "I wasn't fighting Jack Macnock." Then the Rangers escorted me to the hoosier's account of a ring scrap I ever read appeared next
HAMPTON, VA.—Under a new C. L. A. A. ruling, teams of this Association may play Howard, Morgan or Hayes. Chas. H. Wiliams, athletic director of Hampton, told the AFRO today. Mr. Williams said: "When the suspension was removed from the team, the privilege of resuming membership in the association, that automatically teams play all instituted of college grade outside the association complying with the following requirements: "That the C. L. A. A. members when playing on the collegiate grade play only such a basketball as adheres to conforming to those of the C. L. A. A." No More Boycott
This rule materially rescinds the rule passed last year boycoting Howard and forbidding all association play such a basketball as adheres to conforming to those of the C. L. A. A."
The only stipulation the association makes is that its teams must always play under association eligibility rules.
Basketball
Concerning basketball, Mr. Williams said:
The C. I. A. A. basket ball schedule has not yet been completed due to having difficulty some of the schools are having in acquiring suitable places for the games. We hope to be able to complete the schedule during early January.

"Time was called at 9:47. Both contestants entered into the spirit of the event immediately; There Choynski led out with his left arm Johnson pulled down his head in beautiful style. Johnson led for the event with a tight-tap Choynski but a cautious blow on the chin of Johnson. He then bunted Johnson on the forehead and just before time was called, led Choynski out with a cautious side of his opponent's head.
"When they came out for the second round each began a tattoo on the other's forehead. Johnson put on a stomach but hit a glove. Choynski had his fist tapped lightly on the jaw of Johnson as the gong sounded.
"The third was scarcely started when Johnson fell forward into the arms of Choynski and gradually to the floor, face downward. The referee rolled over on his back."
My unhappiness in jail was not lessened by the fact that, my part of the charge, I was not much company for each other, for he was sloughed up by the guards, the bowels of the earth below the jail basement. The keeper explained that Jack was so accustomed to the prison that he would be bored by an ordinary cell.

Lincoln Univ. Vs. Athenians
By Joseph B. Choynski (In N. X. World)
My fight with Joe Walcott has become a nigric legend. The Barbarian Dumbo, as this crusader, was credited with beating a heavily weight, and Walcott was known thereafter as the "Giant Killer." The battle we fought at the Broadway nightclub, New York and lasted not quite seven rounds. So far as I was concerned it was over in the first round, for I got a settled matters for the remainder of the evening. How I managed to stay on my feet until the seventh round, Walcott was undoubtedly a remarkable fighter for his weight, in beating me that night he did not beat a heavyweight or even a lightweight. I have already explained that I was only a middleweight. It is true that at various times, especially in the final round, he was announced more than it was when I met Jeffries. It was a common practice among the larger fighting men of the day to state that he was the winner. The purpose was to impress a foe. And as they did not have official weighing-in before the boxing match, no one could dispute the figures.
And while I never took the pains to explain the Walcott deficit I find necessary now to set forth the facts.
While training for the Walcott battle I slipped on the ice and fell and this caused injury to my side. This aggravated could I had and turned it into "fail."
Several days before the fight my teammate, Frank C.Namara of Chicago, now owned the Cook County (Chicago) Jail, wired Tom O'Rourke, who was not only Walcott's manager but manager of the team that I was in no condition to fight.
O'Rourke urged me by wire to save the show. There had been an agreement to go on with the match O'Rourke offered me 75 per cent of the gross receipts regardless of the team, the fight, the new contract, and the besetion in my weakened state. There is no question in my mind that I could have stopped him in two rounds under normal conditions. I could go through with the engagement.
When I reached New York the Athletic Club of the Broadway Athletic Club Jim Corbett and Tommy Wost, among others, refused to pass on me knowing of my injury. Walcott made a strange look pair. The black fellow was only five feet one inch tall but was wearing a knee brace. He was almost devoid of a neck. Long, muscular arms gave him great reaching and punching down under the protection of his huge shoulders there was little target exposure. Walcott ten inches tall. As the flight started I felt confident I could travel along with motive and excitement, and the keep out quickly saw that I had underestimated Walcott's abnormal strength and ability and in the first hand caught me with a looping, overhand right to the jaw that all but put me out. I told my seconds I could not so much further. For the first time in my fighting career I was on the move. I managed to fight on for nearly six round more is a mystery.
Fighters as well as other men get sick. The business man or actor
may stay on the job when ill at the cost of only pain or distress, and it is not his trade when physically below par it means disaster. He might fight with Walcott, it should also be borne in mind that I defeated at least two men in the game of Cliff and Tommy West. Certainly no one would say that men like Fitzsimons, McCoy, Maher, Jim McCoy, Tommy West, superior to Walcott, in fighting ability.
WANT SCHOOL BOARDS RULE RESCINDED
Effort will be made this week to get permission of the School Board to allow Douglass High School to play athletic teams from outside the State.
The rule barring all Baltimore schools from athletic contest with schools outside the State was passed after City College (white) experienced difficulty in relations with Chicago High School Supervisor Francis M. Wood of Colored. Schools, conferred with Superintendent Wiegeln, Tuesday he explained that unlawful the rule was not enforced. He said HI, that school will have no competition in athletics, as there are no other colored schools in the state where are in the same class with Douglass.
For over two decades Douglass has staged football and basketball games with Washington, D.C. teams. He has been temporarily suspended pending request to have the rule changed.

LYNCHBURG, VA., (FNS.)—Judge F. W. Whitaker was more blind, was arraigned before his Cook, was arraigned before his gambling charge following his arrest with a number of others in a raid on a poker game here Thursday night. Cook, who could have easily claimed that he was not implicated, stood with his fellow friends in the courtroom, playing poker and to back it up picked at random from the deck proceeded to call a number of cards and then to pick out the cards had carefully marked the cards with pin pricks. He told the judge that he knew and trusted the ones that印 on him. Cook did not draw a fine.

The biggest thrill of the evening came within the three final minutes of play. The count was 25 to 25, and both teams were fighting hard for the victory. Harris, Greeks, left guard made a sensational shot from the center of the court for a field goal.

Speedy All-Round Athlete From University Of Minnesota
Stops Over Enroute To Richmond
By Ralph Mathews
Unassigned
Bill O'Sheids, himself drifted into town this week enroute to Richmond, Va., to attend the Alpha Phi Alpha Convention.
He and his fans the name of Bill O'Sheids might not create a great deal of excitement but out in the west where men are athletes, Bill is the guy you read about, to be a basketball coach in Nesota, where Bill is a student. He is a football player, a track man, boxer, a wrestler, a swimmer and for all I know, he might play tenacious sports. But I must press me as that sort of a shap.
The remarkable thing about Bill and his various athletic endeavors, it matters not what he takes part in, but what he asks you to take my word for it. Bill doesn't know where I got them but I have clippings from some of the leading sport serius of Minnesota, and I know that he wants to keep it a secret, that they think right well of this tough youngster. Makes Frozen Team. Bill has been down in the numb fingers and frost-bitten noses, Rochester, Minn., where he made an enviable prep school football record. His Freshman year at the university, he had a back position and was crowding several veterans for a regular position. That terrible slashing period that occurs after the first few weeks of high school from 100 to 66 then to 45 and then running. At the end of the year on down, found O'Shields still in the when they were giving out "Ms" and
During the winter months O'Shields coped the light-heavy-weight box of scramblingers. And for a while he set back and made other contenders fight it out among themselves to decide which one would have the light, to skip in the ring with him. There was great disappointment in the mitt circles when after Don Kopin he hoped John Kopin wouldorto mix it up with O'Shields the latter.
Football "Signs Off" Now For Basketball
BY DR. E. B. HENDERSON
BY DR. E. B. HENDERSON
I have heard from so many sources that this column has been of interest and helpful to those interested in the game of football. See me these questions and answers to add more football sense to their squads. I hope my replies to individuals who solicited correspondence from me will be satisfied as I am ending this column with a few observations on the game of today.
Are The Rules Of Today Satisfi-
They are about as satisfactory as they ever will be. There are two points to the shift and the point after touchdown. Many prominent coaches think the shift will always be a doubtful play for the team who the officials are and how they see it. The rule demands a motionless stance before the ball is snapped,—not alone, but also the incomplete passes in the same scrimmage made some teams slow up in indiscriminate hurling of the ball, and caused coaches to lose art of passing and receiving. Of course, the last word in the evolution of new methods of attack of defense has not been said. The for intolerable situations rules will be changed.
Is Modern Football A Harder Game than The Game Of Ten
It is a harder game on the nervous system but less arduous. It requires a good game. A premium is placed on brains. A team of well-drilled players is needed to attack, strong in the fundamental elements of defense and offense will win much more than they did yesterday in the game of today.
Is Not The Game Being Over-Emphasized?
The book question of the teachers of the old school who still believe the objectives of education in schools of today are the same as of medieval times. Schools now almighty to turn out better citizens. When a man spends a college year away in school in paired to walk out into life and live his part without further schooling in practical citizen skills he benefits the niches he helps do this very thing, not by any means for the football player alone, but for the entire school. No, football is not being over-emphasized, but our education and coaches need to be wondrous to character building possibilities of athletics for

Spring found Bill with spikes in his shoes tearing off yards in record time. Bill got his name on the roll and recorded and clicking off 100 yards in 94.5 sec. In the indoor track meet Bill smatched both the 220 and the 75 yard dash, stepping the longer one and the shorter one. On the relay team Bill carried one of the sticks and there were only two. Bill Got His Chance. It was in the following year and the years that followed that Bill got his chance in varsity football. And varsity track and varsity everything else in varsity football had a chance in and Bill weighed 175 pounds. I could tell you how Bill got his first chance in varsity football in the game with Wabash and the Minneapolis Journal tells it better. "He didn't make the team. With the "Three Musketeers" and I am sure see out for football, he didn't have music. He was just a scrub all year. "And all this year, too—up until Saturday—he has just remained a scrub for every day for practice."
Minnesota students knew some of these things about Bill O'Shields. Write what would Bill O'Shields football star feel good, they let him know that they knew about it when he trotted out on the field Saturday. It was Mr. Nydah's day. And Mr. Peplaws' day. And Mr. Almoust. Mr. Joesting's—one of his many. But anyhow, O'Shields it likes spitballs. In fact, we won that football game. And now—Look out Wisconsin!' Bill likes football, Bill likes boxing, Bill likes spitballs. In fact, any form of exercise and just between you and I. from the smile I saw on his face in Odd Fellows Hall, Monday. Bill likes dancing with our Baltimore girls best of all. He admitted it.

Why Has There Been So Much
Uncontrolled Feeling Exhibited
At Coughe Year?
I doubt if there has been so much more. Some events like mobbing of officials and fearing up of goal posts have stood out and received great publicity and attention, but that did not receive so much publicity. Whenever there is a let down in the system of controls, there is likelihood of uncontrolled outbreaks. It now seems that management to be to sure that human nature is safe because for a long time nothing untoward has happened.
Are There Enough Good Colored Officials In Around the World? For Saturday
Yes and no. We have in our group men who are as good as men in the other group. We have in our group men who are coming along. It would help if management of conferences were to split up the groups and we have most experienced men were not in any one game unless it was the most important game. E-Commerce majors are jealousies among officials and will make a man as efficient as lineman as another is as unhappy as the other. Officials study and confer. Nothing so shows up the weakness of an official as the weekly conferences. Many a man who has had a false conception of some problem in officiating. We often wonder if have have have so obvious a solution. Too many officials depend upon their ability to run games on their exertion. The weeppoints though similar have many angles of divergence.
Does Our Sporting Press Too
Severely Criticize Officials?
Seems to be through the columns of the big purveyors of football news on Sunday mornings and will seldom see mentioned any errors in the game. But decisive bone that directly affects the outcome as did the boner pulled by one of the players in the Yale game. Yet there are thousands of wrong penalties, and poor judgments made every Saturday. In my experience, in my own pulled of decisive nature. In fact some of the most startling errors made by our very best on nearly everybody but members of the official groups who want to know the reasons for the ball is safe or out—it is a strike or a ball. In football on every play you could come to see some technical judgment and smack on a penalty but the official who sees every hair offside or spills the牙 to die could last only a short time in the game. People come to see football and not officials.
Which Is the Best Team Of the Year?
It is no doubt but that the Howard team, the Tuskegee team, and the Hampton team are best in their sections. Although they are not so well prepared to compete teams of the C. I. A. A. and Howard or Tuskegee, there are many who would be honored to play the team of the country. Let us hope that another season will find more interconference games.
Do You Expect To Pick An All-American Team?
No. To a large extent All-American selections have lost their ability to move from boundary to boundary it is next to impossible to select eleven best men. Within containment, the best men are also possible thing. The names of the best men could then be given out for meritorious achievement.

The Atlas combination was one of the best seen on the Albert court this season. They passed and shot from the baseline, and were slow getting started, but managed to wiff.

LAWRENCEVILLE, VA—There is a spirit at St. Paul Normal and Industrial School at Lawrenceville, Va. that starts at the top and filters down through to the younger students. You learn your system and before you have been on the campus five minutes you feel like you are one of the student teachers at the Alumni building welcomed back again.
The school, consisting of forty buildings, stands on one of the main streets of the town running back to the campus and acres of posturage, timber and farming land. It was established 33 years ago by the Rev. James S. Hill. The palatial buildings which now adorn the campus were built by student labor. According to Mr. A. H. Turner business, the income from the 1925 was $79,323.54 and total expenditures were $76,030.13.
Students are permitted to work that way through the institution and for the year 15, $17.87 was paid for student labor. In many cases this money is not paid directly to the student. It is credited to him and is applied to the student's tuition and board.
Hospital Gift
The Loie Taylor Lester Memorial Hospital is the most recent building constructed on the campus. The building was given to the school by Colonel John Lester and is a memorial to his wife. It represents the only structure on the campus constructed from a direct gift. The hospital is not only used for the care of the patients it serves the needs of the race throughout the section.
Farmers Helped
Besides a summer course for normal teachers the school conducts a course in farming which the farmers of the county are instructed to attend and discuss their problems. The subjects were handled by men detailed from the United States Demonstration Service.
The annual mid-winter teachers' institute is another educational activity of the School along the line of helping the public school teachers of the county to become teachers. Holders of the joint auspices of the County School Board and St. Paul's School it lasts three days, during which time the School is host to the school. The attendance this year was sixty.
Unusual Merger
By virtue of a merger between the school and the Brunswick County authorities all elementary pupils within a four mile radius of the situation study center from the first to the ninth inclusive. The school reserves the right to set the standard of education, select and dismiss teachers and conduct school work with the management. By this agreement the county pays to the school for the pupils up to the seventh grade, $1,500. annually. This sum may be increased for qualified teachers and ninth grade work. By this affiliation with the county the school obtains the privilege of using state architects. A new building being constructed on the campus by the county, but operated solely and identified as as part of St. Paul is to be known as High School and the school is to furnish tuition free to all the pupils of the county for a consideration of $2,000. The maximum curriculum is $11 and the maximum for high school pupils (leftth and ninth) is $680.
Military Training
Like all industrial schools, St. Paul believes in military training. A course of instruction in military Tactics is given daily, Sundays excepted, when all young men are required to complete a military student ID. All male students are required to march in line to their meals, unless they are excused by the commandant of cadets. Day school cadets are also required to present themselves for a drill. All cadets are required to $115 o'clock. Cadets are required to drill to
Good Bye '26-Year

wags on.
The writer firmly believes both bouts were on the level.
Jack Dempsey has always been a Jack Dempsey has always been a defense—say to hit—claiming he fights so fast and furious that he keeps the OTHER FELLOW on the defense. Always entraining the his style of fighting is a defense in itself, the late John L. Sullivan and Harry Greb had the same idea. A very poor boy you that all great champions-of-by-gone days had a wonderful defense.
Counter-attack vs. Rush
In Gone Tunney Jack Dempsey was called upon to face a type of fighting different from any he had ever met. Tunney, not wondered, is the greatest counter in the ring today. In rallion parade a counterer is a man who generally succeeds in starting and landing a blow just a moment of a second ahead of his on opportunities.
This trick enabled Tunley to land four or five blows in rapid succession and fock to such extent he could regnish his posture, landing about two blows during the whole ten rounds which made him look like an animated man focking to Tunney was having training practice.
The defeat of Harry Wills by Jack Sharkey is plainly a case of Youth vs. Age. The crowd who witnessed that fight saw, not a boxing match but a half-wrestling match between two young men sitting on his shoulders and a young second-rater who will probably amount to something by and by. Wills' mere ghost of a once defensive fighter wrestled two opponents, which later disqualified by the referee who had repeatedly warned him for such taceties. No doubt, during rest periods, Sharkey must have thought to help him by making him who made Dempsey play the role of Santa Claus by giving away $50,000 (forfelt) rather than flight." What's In A Name? Shakespeare wrote "What's in a name?" May be there 15 something in it! Perhaps the name, "Brown Panther," frightened Dempsey. It seems that some fighters viewed as a real Panther possessed all of a real Power the power of that beast for which he is nicknamed.

Base Ball
Nineteen twenty-six with surprises galore! Hardly had the public recover, but the crowd suddenly shocked with another. Take base-ball for instance, who would have thought Chicago could come from the Bronx? Most fans had conceded the National flag to Kansas City. Chicago, a tired team, having played itself range, range range, by winning the championship from the Bacharachs, of Atlanta City. But there should be nothing more game noted for uncertainty. Hildale was conceded the Eastern pennant so well the Cubans later in the season, but the Bacharachs won. Buffalo Roush Lions before. Howard upset football depey by defeating Lincoln in their annual chastise at Howard's new stadium. What can be more pleasing to a new audience's victory?
Biggest Surprise
Perhaps the biggest surprises occurred in pugilism. The dechroning of Harry Wills and the defeat of Harry Wills at the hands of Jack Sharkey astounded the nation. Some believe both bouts were despite all arguments to the contrary.
church on Sunday mornings for religious services. Major W. M. Whitehead, who has charge of the school, is the dominant of cadets. All forms of physical culture are stressed. The school boasts of $2,000 worth of equipment in its gymnasium. In the industrial department, the boys are taught blacksmithing, blacksmithing, blacksmithing, carpentry, cabinet making, harness making and shoe repainting, mechanical engineering, painting, printing and sculpting. The girls are instructed in sewing, dressmaking, millinery and home economics. There are an instructed students, there are students taking masonry are enabled to pay a portion of their tuition by working around the school and taking part in the construction of buildings in the town of Lawrenceville were built by student labor.
Discipline Good
Discipline at the school is strict and a line of demarcation between very evident. The instructors mix at no time in the social functions of the students but have separate amusements of their own. Excuse cards are given to their girls and girls dormitories the teachers live in separate buildings and eat in a separate dining hall. Respect is a credit to their students is a credit to the institution.
BY SIDELINE
Eight Easterners and three Westerners win places on the first selection, while the sharing is just almost reversal on the second eleven.
Howard, undefeated in season, gets second place.
EASTERN BACKFIELD
The sideline backfield is all eastern with the exception of Hitchle, Wilberforce, and the ball carrier in the country this season. Tick Smith is a fast man in the backfield and has no use in Coles. Dan Brown is a natural born line player and is without a doubt the best in the country. Hard is just a good backfield man, though.
Good ends, tackles and guards were found on all four of the teams.

Radio Announcer Barred From Jury
New York—Appearing in court as a prospective juror, in the trial of a Negro and Irish Catholic attorney, was more than the Court could countenance, when Franklin Ford, a radio announcer, admitted his prejudice in court. Declaring that such antipathies were foreign to the form of justice, Rossalsky promptly excused Ford from jury service and suggested that his name be permanently stricken from the jury lists of New York County.

Get My Opinion.
Men with weak nerves. Not sick—yet hardly able to work. Why not get well?
How common it is to see a business man—bright, capable, intellectual and possessing the requisite keenness to make his business a success financially—bowed down with alimantine, allow complicated, and difficult fire of his body apparently protecting exertion. Such men we see by the score in this and every other city. And the most extraordinary part of it is that these men have accepted the burden of an incomplete life and take their conditions as a matter of course. Perhaps they have expanded large sums of money their birth and happiness restored, but, meeting with ineffective results, hope has left them. DON'T GIVE UP.
Men—Do not stay away on account of money matters. Charges reasonable. You may pay as able. I want to place my services within reach of everyone and make terms to suit. Blame yourself, therefore, if you do not get the benefit of my services at once. Men with impure blood. Not visible—yet liable to break out any day. Be warned in time. I give solventine, up-to-date treatment. Only curable cases accepted. NO PAINTS, NO LOSS OF TIME FROM WORK. Quick results and small fees make lasting friends.
My offices are equipped with many modern facilities that medical staff use, high frequency, complete chemical laboratory, electrical machines, wizard ovens and you will see that will cure you in the shortest space of time and most thoroughly that will give you unwanted pain.
Again I say, whatever you may be suffering from, do not confine your opinion of it. I am master of my profession—consult me and see how the situation is and teaching my example is. Be fair to yourself.
Come today and have a plain talk with me. My subject is more dangerous than if in pain, in trouble or in doubt.

Thoughts Of The Founder
Have you ever studied yourself gone over and over yourself much an the merchants take stock to see how much you are worth? Have you ever thought just how much you are worth? What are you worth?
The man who wants to think can think, and the man who wants to do can do.
You want to change your condition of life, of course you do. You want to live better and you want to have more money in the bank than you have. What are you doing to get it?
While the Italian boy is attending the fruit stand at the corner he is thinking about the day when he is going to conduct a big wholesale business and will sell to other poor fellows who are like he is today. That boy is a self-warranter self-starter. He is thinking.
A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon and found none.
Then said he unto the dresser of fig trees, Rebehold these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none; but it down. Why cumberbeth it the ground?
And he answered and said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also until I shall tend it and fertilize it.
And if it bear fruit WELL; and if not, THEN after that thou shalt cut it down.
John Hurst
Does foreign missionary work
back?
We point to Bishop John Hurst of the A. M. E. Church, who will receive the Harmon award for his work in the development of educational and religious organization among colored people in Florida. The award consisting of $100 and a bronze medal is offered annually by the Harmon Foundation in New York and the commission of church and race relations of the Federal Council of churches and is awarded for distinguished achievement during the year in the field of literature, fine arts, education, business, industry and religion. The first prize under the religious group carries with it $400 in cash and a gold medal.
In Bishop Hurst's case the award will be made at Bethel Church this city, at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Simultaneously in other parts of the country medals and awards will be delivered to 12 other persons including Max Yergen, a south African "Y" secretary; C. C. Spaunding, insurance president; Countee Cullen poet; poet Estelle Handolph, a Virgilian artist; Joseph Escher the artist; and Fathar D. Hayden, a New York painter.
It is fitting that the award will be presented Bishop Hurst by the mayor of the city on an occasion when several hundred of his fellow citizens will gather to do him honor.
Bishop Hurst's work in Florida includes his reorganization of the conferences there and the development of Edward Waters College, Jacksonville, constitutes on the bright spots in African Methodist church progress for the last few
Bishop Hurst found at Edward Waters a typical southern school. He developed it into a college and theological school with a strong faculty with modern buildings built and maintained solely by the church people of that state.
Bishop Hurst interested in education of new, Fifty years ago missionaries of his church were sent to Haiti. As a result of their labor, John Hurst, a native, was sent to Wilberforce, educated and returned to teach and preach Methodist mission at Port au Prince, Haiti.
He had the ambition to establish on the island an industrial school practically for girls where homemaking would be taught. As late as 1890 he was carrying on a day school at his own expense with lack of books and the need of almost constant convenience that a school demands.
Then he returned to America and for 14 years was secretary of the Haitian Legation in Washington, but forsook a diplomatic career to serve in the United States as an financial secretary for the denomination and later in 1912 bishop of Florida, which post he has held since although he maintains a residence in New York. Bishop Hurst is public, evidence that his missionary work pays THE ANCO-AMERICANOTHER SOLUTION. Baltimore, Maryland, says it does so again today, with renewed pride in his achievement.

Pappy Monument
Proposal of a number of southern white women to erect a mamymon monument several years ago, elicited such bitter controversy and that the project was abandoned.
Where the mamymon monument failed, the pappy monument plan has succeeded without any fuss or feathers, largely, however, because the latter was posed by a single individual while the former was to have been erected by public subscription.
An aged Louisiana colonel now entering his second childhood with more money than he can aduateately possess, joined in September, Baltimore scoutier, to cast in bronze a life size the figure of the aged and polite colored servant of the days before the war, a type immortalized by the story of a murderous portrayal of the character, Uncle Tom, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
The monument when completed will be shipped to its Louisiana purchaser, erected probably in one of the notches and then probably forgotten.
In the race it would honor such a monument inspires neither gratitude nor emulation. To the contrary it arouses resentment that those who are so eager to memorize Uncle Tom are just as eager to lynch Uncle Tom's son and keep him in ignorance and poverty.
Probes
One method of preventing your neighbor from inquiring seriously into your business is to start a counter inquiry into his. The other method, adopted by certain republican gentlemen in congress who proposed last week to inquire into the disfranchisement of colored voters in the south, is AFRO-AMERICAN is not opposed to such an inquiry. In fact we know all about it and have known for the past 40 years. The facts have been evident to every intelligent citizen of the nation. Moses Dixon line, and to those who live north of it, by a study of the votes by which senators and congressmen are elected to office in Washington, have confirmed it is for the people in the United States, the Supreme Court will hear next week an appeal from Texas court where the democratic party claims it has the right to hold a white man's primary and exclude all colored vo-
We iterate that we would like the senate to derive into the Dixie disfranchisement. We'd like them to expose to the entire country the educational tests, protections and the "grandfather chauces" and other chiccary by means of which southern citizens are kept away from the poll. At the same time we voice our regrets that our society has not owned a sack hat to prevent southern democrats, first from investigating too fully charges of graft against Senator Arthur K. Gould, of Maine; second, the primary slush fund by means of which southern democrats are held and Frank L. Smith, Illinois, received the republican "nomination" to the senate from their respective states; third, to prevent southern democrats from investigating the barter and sale of federal offices by republican politicians in the state.
The fact of the matter is, that the republican majority in the senate is being harassed by the democratic minority. The resolution to investigate Negro disfranchisement in the south is the republicans anarchy's attack upon the majority party. However, feeble and futile this counter attack of the G. O. P. might seem it has worked well in the past. It proved a bugaboo from which Dixie democrats have always retired in utter confusion. The republicans bugaboo will fall and then perhaps the senate will rattle the dry bones in the closet of Dixie politicians.
Military South
While citizens in the former confederate states of the south furnished a smaller per cent of drifters during the world war thin any other section of the country had a unusually high percentage of former southerners hold commissions in the regular army today.
The new figures show that the state comprising the old confederacy have only 22 per cent of the United States but furnish 27 per cent of the officers in the regular army, the total number being 11,939.
The records show, for example, that 442 officers in the United States Army were born in the United States North Carolina, 207; Texas, 485; Alabama, 230; Maryland, 246.
Whereas the country as a whole has one commissioned officer in the army for every 7,900 whites. Virginia has one officer for each 360 white. South Carolina on officer for each 3,878 white.
Army men explaining this representation of the old southern states in the rank of officer, of the army, of the number of old and excellent military academies. That may be, but another and equally important reason, is the southerner's dislike of cowardry. He is uniformly fearful, and answer to the name of, "colonel, suh," when he wouldn't, or couldn't, because of the intelligence and fitness tests, should memorize and fight in the ranks.

DAYBYDAY
WITH WILLIAM N. JONES
Yoshihito, late emperor of Japan, perhaps responsible more than any man for the Sino-Japanese heart and soul and the Sino-Japanese religion with the most valuable accomplishments of Western civilization and thereby making the race of the 20th Century is dead. If Yoshihito, invalid but democratic ruler, was interested in the lives lived and the impact of Japanese development on world affairs were doubly so. WAS THE FIRST COLLORED RACE TO SUCCESSFULLY CHALLENGE WHITE SUPREMACY IN THE MODE R N. Since the Russian-Japanese war, in which the brave little sons of Nippon, brought to her knees the Japanese warriors of Hamburg, the shadow of the white men call the yellow peril has hovered continually over pale faced human beings the world
No nation on the face of the earth in modern times has so shupa-deen down under the surface of every play on the international chess board both biomechanical and looking anxiously at the next move of this little but mighty how. Now this nation with about 50,000,000 people and a country with fewer natural resources, is a country that has been beckoned away and leave plenty of room in Texas, has risen to so commanding a place in the world, presenting to all colored young men and women who have the will to feel that all human beings are doomed with same possibilities. An intimate history of Japan should be a part of the family of this so called oppressed race of men.
The Making
No doubt the foundation of Japanese achievements rest on Japanese motherhood. Years ago Japanese statesmen gave the Japanese women a blue print specification of what they were to bring into the world. They sent enlistees to every part of the civilized world to teach them the commercial and artistic accomplishments and solidifying these with the traditions of Japan. They also taught commercial and deep seated loyalty to race and racial destiny, they have produced wonderfully to let them in they keep all races out of their blood, as well as their social and economic lives, which sometimes hurts them in the air like a wild Texas pony, they stick, they hold they accommodate, they face to face the shot and shell of white warriors like they had to face the earthquakes and typhoons.

An Opportunity
For Mr. O'Connor
News that three assistants in the State's Attorney's office are for some time hides for civic cooperation in local problems have been made by the dominant white community, not been a few colored men and women who have responded. While the lack of little consequence the bigger question of crime in Baltimore is certainly one in which the police are interested in when all citizens should feel a deep responsibility. A special assistant in the State's Attorney's office would not only be able to run down many defrauded businesses and justice machinery work with more precision, but it would do a bigger job. DOWN THE IMPRESSION THAT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP AND WHITE DEFINITELY DECIDED UPON A POLICE WHICH WOULD BAR COLORED MEN WITH A HIGH SENSE OF THE WORD. And what is more it would give the group incentive to move away more slowly in lessening crime.
There is one problem alone, the question of common law attorney's office cannot or does not even have to remedy. Some people speak before the School Master's Club stated that this was a problem which must be worked through people then civic organization.

Old Santa comes but once a year.

He buys them joy.
All kinds of toys.

Abe Lincoln Is Neither Our Man Nor Our Model. He Advocated Enamulation And Colonization When He Thot That Would Save The Union. But Later He Changed His Mind And His Enamulation Proclamation Contains No Word Of Colonization.
To the Turtle.
A friend of mine had three houses in the Negro belt left to him several years ago. White people were just moving out from these dirty houses were clean and in first class condition, and in less than two years they were in such a fifty condition from these dirty houses, in first class condition, and in the highest hinder.
Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest men in the country has ever faced, had a very poor opinion of Negroes, so much so, that he said they were not fit in the army and he was going to colonize them and send them all back to Africa to their dug-outs. But Booth, a Negro lover, a dearly under a pretense of Americanism, and this myrmidion of the law shot to death this noble living man before he could carry out his or-
The shooting of Mr. Lincoln was one of the worst calamities that has ever happened to America. Born in a small town in a civilized country. Now I suppose you will say he was ignorant and bigoted, you better not. I traveled through Georgia and Florida and I found quite a number of signs near the depots in small towns with the following epitaph, "Negro, don't let the man go down, let him go up in crazy city, town and hamlet in the world. What a blessing it would be for humanity." Truth, Mt. Washington, Md.
A Voter Tells Why He Is Interested
In The Candidacy of J. Howard
The political situation in the Fourth Councilmatic District, is becoming quite salient men, who are seeking the nomination for Council, to represent this district, and they all have their friends advocating for them in the district. There is one, who I think, at this time, would make an outstanding candidate, to represent our group, and I would be a young man of ability, and unquestionable integrity, having risen from the ranks of manual labor in the military service. While serving in this service, he traveled from Baltimore to Washington at night to order in order to better serve his people.
He was graduated from the law class of Howard University, and admitted to the Hallmark University, before being appointed the esteem and respect of the members of the Supreme Bench, and his fellow members there are some who criticised him for introducing Governor Ritchie at a meeting held during the state campaign, the meeting was seen as politically polluted one, as Governor Ritchie simply wanted a fair chance to be elected to the state legislature and land that he was not in symmetry with a letter that had been circulated among our group, for the purpose of crowding our people, Mr. Wayne, in introducing the Governor, prefaced his remarks by saying, "he was not a person of interest, he was loyalty supporting the ticket, but considered it his duty when called upon by the Governor of all the states, to give him an opportunity to refute an erroneous statement that had been widely circulated the night before in a long, placing him in a false position. Caleb D. Anderson, 1106 N. Cary Street.
Mayor Jackson
On January 1st, Baltimore secondary school teachers including the Douglas high school and the Fannie J. Coppin Normal School will receive an increase in pay as they will receive the same stipend paid other secondary school teachers in the city.
Thus ends an effort begun nine years ago to improve secondary education in the city by removing one of the sore spots annoying the teaching force.
It is worth noting that this reference this book about under the administration of Mr. Howard W. Jackson, Democrat, as mayor of the city. Many members of the Board of School Commissioners directly responsible for the schools, were appointed by Mayor Jackson and Dr. David E. Goggin was appointed as the head of the city schools by the Jackson school board.
It is worthy of note also, that politics plays no part in the salary increase. It comes at a time when the mayor is not up to date with the principle of equal pay for equal work without regard to sex or color. It required the same academic preparation of all secondary teachers and by equalizing the salaries of all such teachers, let us be known that the same kind and quality of teaching in all its secondary schools.
The mayor, the board, and the superintendent are due the thanks, not only of the teachers, but of the community, involved required not only courage, but good-will and the fine spirit of cooperation. Their example gives new life and new inspiration to the secondary school system of Baltimore, the administration's action in this matter coupled with the erection of the million and a half dollar high school recently and the plans for other new school buildings means that Baltimore is resolved to make its colored schools part of the system, which the whole city shall be proud.
He brings them joy,
In America and far away.

They had a Negro baptizing down on the Mississippi River, last summer. There was a long river, a river, a river, including a number of damsels black as melted midnight. They sang, the Lillies of today. They did, the Old parson, taking them in one by one, finally came to a little, bullet-headed gun, sighting at a tree grazing steadily out into the water. Then the parson said, "Come right in, my brother, retching his hand up, right in my brother, come right in."
He said, "No; I ain't acomin' in."
He said, "What's the matter with you?" Has your faith weakened? "No; don't you see that alligator on that rock right over there?" (Laughter). The old Negro parson threw his knife into the rock and said, "Now, just listen to dat. Don't you remember when the while swallowed Jonah and the Almighty made him climb him the rock? Know if your faith is firm He will make that alligator throw you up? Book his head vigorously and said, "Parson, you may be acquainted with whales, but you don't have to dissassemble alligator. If ever one of them things swallows a nigger, it goes right off and goes to sleep and forgets all about the (Laughter). Georgina The Negroes had a protracted meeting down in Georgia, and did not want to die. He was 40. The parson considered it a great triumph. He said, "We got one member to help us. We want to hear from him."
Old Uncle Rufus got up, and he followed. "Folloys, I am individually concerned. The way, as fur as individually concerned, is clear."
They answered back, "Uh-huh," "It's, it's, "It's bad and smooth just like the ceiling." They said, "Tas." He said, "There aren't no rocks and roots and stumps in the way." He said, "All I got to do is walk right up to the pearly gate and get into the building." He said, "Uh-huh." "But," he said, "the only thing I'm getting me is here is I going to get my shirt on over my wings." Old Rastus rose up in the church-cran-shout' sinner you, your trouble is going to be how is you going to get your hat on over your daughter. Danville, Va.

I will take a take some while lightning, get one of these little building pistols, and it will be all over you when Christmas is gone."
I am reminded of what old Uncle Joe Cannon said about the baboon at the circus. He said he would take charge of him when he was 19 years old to carry him through the circus and hold his hands upon the bars of the cages of the wild animals. He said this Negro gripped his hands but once and that was when he took three days. He never lost sight of him and turned him loose but once and that was when he took three days. The baboon was swaying his body back and forth. The Negro turned him loose and tightened his hands and looked eagerly at the baboon and said, "How is you?"—(laughter.) The baboon said nothing, of course. The Negro said, "I say, how is you?" (Laughter.) Then he said, "Data's mouth, the mouth, the white folks will have you in a cotton patch in an hour."
We are honored by the presence of Geno' Peraling tonight, the great commander of the French, the French, and I am reminded of the story told on some of our southern Negroes who went overseas. As order was passed the illusion that all the niggers laughed when they read it. It said: "Thirty thousand Negro troops and the thousand French soldiers will go over the top at sunup."
One nigher said, "What you
he said. I say, 'I'm laughin' how

he said. How you it will
read?" He said, "I know how it will

"How will it read?"

The Week's Best Story
BY WILLIAM PICKENS (The American Esop)
A Negro in a northern community went to church one Sunday. It was church of minors who were speaking from the text; "Come all ye that labor and are heavy laden." In the exaltation of feelings and in the exaltation of individuality, "Come! The Gospel is free! Free to all alike! Salvation is free, absolutely free, free to all, so all mankind are individual! Come! The church, this church is a brotherhood of men!" Being a fundamentalist, the Negro interpreted this phrase as the preacher quietly whispered to the Negro that he would see him in his study, after he was asked: "Are you sure the Lord wants you to join this church? Don't you think it best to go and consult the matter, and let him direct you?"
' i axed de Lord if I must' keep keep in' to jine dis-fie ych church, an' he zse to me, sez he: 'Well, Hustus, I hates awfully to discourage you, but I do not want you do dispense wastin' yo' time on dat perticular church. Fer de la last twenty years', sez de Lord, sez he, 'dat is, since de cumbence' o' de present paster-inle, in' to dath church, itself an' I aint made it yet!"

Every year the APRO prints a Christmas curse but this year some time we missed it and better late than early rush to the fire to force this week with a chant that will knock your eyes out.
Because we fear our readers may get confused in the musical arrangement which has not been arranged you would suggest that you buy this book and try to sing it and you will find it a great comfort in your old age.
We confess that there might not be so much to the words but the sentiment is there, whether you find it hard trying to sing it and several paragraphs you will discover that it is written in poetry form, but don't let this confuse you, keep right on going.
To bring out the deep feeling in the poem it would be a good idea to sing some bells from the family trumpet drum rattle them very gently when you come to the part about 'Single bells. Single bells. The family wash the kitchen sink will serve just as well.
Read the words out loud, articulate clearly, take a deep breath after reading, and then the children to bed, now begin. J. S. This poem is for adults only because there are several instances of Jesus as to the existence of Santa Claus.
"Ye Christmas Karrell"
"Jingle bells, jingle bells to grandma's house we go to get a meal of turkey 'cause our bucks are sort of tall."
They tell me old Santa Claus comes down the chimney while I'm 'sleep. But how does he get in my bedroom when I use electric heat?
Jingle bells, jingle bells, mother's had a thrill, she gave pa a new fur coat. Kissed my girl 'neath the mistletoe, now both my eyes are black, you see I didn't know how soon her husband would be hack.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Grandpa's mad because, after ninety-seven learns there isn't no Santa Claus.
Father's hunting for the box of cigars from his son, but sister's wife, and they smoked them everyone.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, we've told the world we thought for was lost for weeks but he's been down in the cellar.
Bill took off his stocking, planting it on the shelf. But that stocking was so strong it stood up by itself.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jim's wife has got some scars, and if she bells you he'll spend New Years beaches with her. Merry Xmas, said his friends, but John was blue and worried, for how could he be happy when he had joyous bells.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Sam Jones took his life, he had to wear a neck tie that was picked out by his wife. They were seated on the sofa and the mélange was on him, when he got ambivalent she made him go up and go.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Santa's all hunk; he takes the rich kids lovely things and takes the poor ones. My aunt Kate never went with the boys carousing. My aunt Kate's an old maled now but it's not of her own choosing.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, why worries you when your rhymes you can plainly see just what is my condition.
The butcher's crying 'bout his bill, they both do the worrying 'cause I haven't got a cent.

Kelly Miller Says RESOLUTION
I call upon every upstanding and right-minded Negro in the land to take a New Year Resolution:
"I will observe the Eighteenth Amendment and will encourage others to do likewise. I will vote for no man or party that does not favor the enforcement of the Eighteenth, as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, without equivocation or invasion."
To The Colored Race: Greetings.
"We are now on the threes hold of a new year. At this period we haunt awhile to remember marching forward. The past year has been one of infinite incertitudes. Racial avenges, like Caesar's river, have been a slowness, that one can hardly tell whether they have been going forward or backward. Each movement has ploiled its weary way and pursued its favorite fantom. Our larger movements have pursued their fantom, but they can hardly tell whether they have been progressive, stationary or retrograde. They have been carrying out the program rather than carrying up the
The Ministers
The ministers of the gospel have filled the pulpits with fidelity and have proclaimed the truth as the main message. But it has fallen for much part on deaf ears and dead hearts. There has been little fresh impulse towards righteousness, and there has been a weakening of the conscience or fresh enthusiasm for the salvation of men on the heavenly side. The churches have held on to the devil. The mind of the race, especially the younger generation, has not been moved to the point of being chilled by the flesh has chilled the higher and holier lays of the spirit.
School Teachers
The school teachers have been holding class and hearing lessons. They have proceeded consciously satisfied things things that they are now ordained, unconscious of the fact that the educational regime is at the putting on of the end of education is inspiration, not information. The latter killeth; the spirit makehive. It is an observation, not a criticism, much less a reflection upon the educational fraternity to say that, on the whole, it has been menured in the mind, rather in manipulating the spiritual aim of educational standards. Our higher education has been augmented by rather intensifying in its stimulation of the intellectual, moral and spiritual energies. There have been internal changes in higher institutions of learning, whose forebodings, we are not yet quite sure. The outcome is issue, our hope and fears striving for the ascendency.
Marking Time In Economics
in the economic domain, we have been marketing time. At all times, we have been employed at good wages. Home ownership has been increased. Small businesses have sprung up and have been successful. But there has been little indication of fresh business energy or enterprise. The lamentable hamburgers have been housed underkings a year or so ago has campened the ardor and chilled the spirit. If it has not cut the nerve of conceived business
Politics
The political movement has been decidedly retragraded. If the Negro is not convinced of the political reckoning, he must be opaque to the point of obliteness. To cap the elitim, the President has skipped the task of designing a platform to the last vestige of political control on part of the race. On the face of it, the president is equally praiseworthy. An office holder should not be placed under tribute, directly or indirectly, to manipulate the political machine. But as ex-Secretary Stemp is well aware, it is impossible to situate without phlicing the important as well as the rewarded office holder, under tribute. The president eliminates every Negro from the slightest semblance of political leadership. Perry Howard and Ben Davis are the last of the
No Salvation In G. Q. P.
However, the past year has demonstrated one clear political preposition. The race has been for political salvation. For this at least we may be thankful; for what it has done with repeated success in the past, with decisive victory in many particular party or politician. During the year ouritative organizations have been building a counter-repudience, wherever it exhibits itself. But so fast as one head is bruised, just so fast does another emerge. We must reach that reach the symptom, where the disease is systematic. We must, continue to deal with surface indications, with the wholly unable to reach the core.
Literary Movement
The literary- movement has has been more or less active, Negro authorship that give interesting and encouraging indicative world in the out-past of Negro talent is still sustained. The no-night to the title, although it does not yet appear what he shall be.
Philanthropy
The great philanthropic movements are in a deliberate and hesitant mood. There must be a social philosophy before there is a social philosophy. You must know what you are helping a people for or who place they are to fill in the social scheme before philanthropy can be be wholly applied. There is a social philosophy or race philosophy or race statesmanship. Why and whither is the puzzle of it all?
Program For 1927
So much for the retrospect; but what of the immediate present and the next future which we are asking? What shall be the program for the year of our our, nineteen twenty-seven? Lord, let each individual and institution continue the work which it will do, mitten, with renewed zeal and determination. All of these projected lines of endeavor are help-

Prohibition
There is, however, one common sense, common place more movement which should engage the interest and the culture of the country, leading. The cause of prohibition promises more beneficial results for the race than any other movement which is ready to hand over the country to great political advantage. The old parties are split in twain. The Eastern Republicans are wet their Western or partizans are wet their Northern Democrats are dry; their Northern confederates are wet.
The politician deals in only one commodity—votes. The essence of political ethics is the use of the Eighteenth Amendment with unflinching –firmness, he will thereby exert great influence in the political equation. The women and the Negro hold the desi- tion of the vote, and their hand, if they will only use it wisely at this critical junction.
Common Moral Platform
Political asperities, even in the South, would be greatly minified. If both races stood upon a common moral platform, the North would one Negro so bitterly and so justly complains, is closely connected with the liquor evil. The decline of lynching and the abolition of slavery in hand in rush of Negroes in the North finds easier and smoother adjustment to the new and strange environment because the hands of the law are the evil passion of the rough element of both races. If we want the nation to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, let us show the nation by holding the Eighteenth Amendment.
Ministers Are Lukewarm On Dry Issues
Up to the present time, the Negro has shown little enthusiasm for the problem. There has been little enforcement order for the Eighteenth Amendment. Negro newspapers have not published any law against Negro on this racial policy. Even our ministers and churches have seemed to be lukewarm, both as a result of the Negro politician on the whole has been indifferent. If not disposed politically, they have looked upon the issue from a purely political angle, wholly unmindful of the maze of moral inconsistency in which they entangle themselves.

McRary Describes Birthplace Of Christ At Bethlehem
AT this Christmasmide when the gifts are giving to friends, the thoughts of many of us will bubbly review these world of mankind—our visitor, and the place of his birth, echelhem.
Of the many sacred places mentioned in the Holy Evangel, one of the best known is the city of Jerusalem. While reviewing notes of my sojourn in the Holy Land it occurred to me that some of your leaders might find a brief description of "The Church of The Navity" and the "Manger" interest.
Bethlehem (place of bread) about 1-2 miles almost directly south of Jerusalem, was the home of David. Its general situation is very much like that of Jerusalem. The town lies upon two ridges. The West Hill is connected with the beautiful dylf of the book of Joshua and its origin here. Agriculture and cattle raising are the principal industries. Not a few of the inhabitants have been minning crushes and rosas from mother of pearl and coral, for which they find a ready sale to tourists. I procured from one of the inhabitants of Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" carved in mother of pearl. The Biblical description and the tradition which dates to the time so conclusive that there has never been any dispute as to the birthplace of our Lord. No other spot in Bethlehem lends itself so admirably to the pur

NEW YORK—In honor of a quarter of a century's continuous service with the American Bible Society, Rev. Dr. John Percy Wragg, white secretary, secured the Colored People in the United States, was given a testimony of appreciation for his remarkable service to the Bible Society recently. A recognition of the services of his wife, Mrs. Jessie Elizabeth Wragg, was also included in the letter. Dr. Wragg has been very efficient in the circulation of the Scriptures. During the year he served as secretary of the Bible Society he has univerified the distribution of 1,000,000 copies of the Scriptures. He has had in his employ between four and seven years some of these workers have entered the leading pastorates of this country. Dr. Wragg holds the unique position of "Dean" of the Agency Secretaries in the United States. He was born in Charleston, but was raised in New York. It was he attended Avery Institute
during 1871-72 studied at Claf-Te-
University at Orangeburg. In
April 1854 partly after the open-
ing of Common Theological Semi-
ty, Atlanta, he entered the semi-
ty and graduated in June 1888.

Some authorities think the original building underwent considerable change later.
One legend has it that Hadrian destroyed a church which stood on the spot and erected in place of it a temple of Abdur. The remarkable agreement in the description given by all the pilgrims of the middle ages indicates that the structure has never undergone any material
The main entrance is on the west side. In front there is a large paved church is simplicity itself. A detailed description would be interesting but too long. The floor is paved with slabs of stone. Two nights of the Nativity. Of the Nativity. It is lighted by 32 Lamps. The chapel is 13 1-2 yards long, 4 yards wide, and ten feet high. I have paved the walls and walls are cemented with marble. There is an altar on the east side under which is a silver star with the inscription "Hic Virginis Marin Jesus Christus Natus Eut." Fifteen beautiful lamps are kept burning around the recess. From the floor to the ceiling the Chapel of the Manger. The Manger is of marble, the bottom white and the front brown. In it is a way to represent Christ. It is unlikely that the shape of the Manger and of the Chapel have undergone changes from time to time. I do not think there is any ground-room to the site.
One thing I know from experience, and this is that one standing hard by the Christ child was born these emotions he could never have elsewhere on earth.

It was while here he met Mrs Wragg, who was a student in Clark University, situated on an adjacent campus. JB 1001 the Board of Managers of the American Bible Society decided to set up in the United States an agency similar to those which were relying on its work of distributing the Scripts in foreign lands.
Many of the auxiliaries of the Society did a good work in the South for the colored people in connection with their general local Scripture distribution but there were still large areas not covered by the Bible world.
This peculiar need could not well be met without attempting some new measures to create a special procedure for the 'Colored People of the South.' In looking about for some one to take charge of this Agency it was natural to seek for advice from the Gannon Theological Seminary, the only African American conference giving its attention wholly to the training of colored preachers. The President, now Bishop P. F. Wright, recommended Rev. John Percy Wragg. Mr. Wragg had, at that time, had experience as a pastor and as a Presiding Earer of the Savannah and Methodist Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

UNITED BAPTISTS
DISREGARD DR. GRAY
Members of the United Baptist Ministers' Association of the State are paying little attention to a move headed by Dr. Junus Gray, pastor of Faithful Baptist Church, to establish an independent Baptist Association.
Members of the united association who have come together after 25 years of service in this church are too jubilant over this event to pay any attention to those who would sponsor any further rift in the denominational forces.
Here we point in this new unification, they say, for all Baptists, little or big, great or small.
The pastors point out that $2,200 deficit, incurred through the entertainment of the National Baptist Convention, was born by other pastors and not by Dr. Gray as claimed in the newspapers. They also declare that Dr. Gray has not been kindly invited to the National Baptist Convention which failed to elect him as vice-president for this state.

Peoples Christian Church, the Rev. C. Edward Brown, pastor, and the center for education that it owns on Jefferson street, in East Baltimore. Dr. Brown told the AFRO this week that dreams for sometime to provide a building which will look after the needs of young people. It will include a library, meeting room for young people, a rest room, a gymnasium and shower bath. The citizens are enthusiastic over the project because of the fact that the Y. M. C. A. Sharp Street Community House, the former High School gymnasiums are all located in the northwest section.

New Year's Message
New Year's Message
Bishop A. L. Gaines, A. M. E. Church, N. W., West Indies, S. America
My New Year's Wish to the readers of the Afro-American is:
That more sunshine shall be yours, that those who dwell in the shadows may the better see the path that leads to brighter pastures; that more tolerant you may be that others may be more charitable in the face of your own short comings; that your intellectual horizon may be broadened, that you may the better lead the benighted; that more material blessings may be yours, that your stewardship of the Master's treasures may enter larger fields of usefulness; that your spiritual vision may be enlarged, that you may the better aid in emphasizing the things of the spirit rather than the things of the flesh; that the legitimate rewards of your ordinary labor may be more adequate, that you may do more service to your fellowman without hope of reward.
Bishop Wm. F. McDowell, M. E. Church, Washington Area thru Dr. A. J. Mitchell
I send you and all your people my sincerest New Year's greetings. It is the season for both the existence and expression of good wishes. It is quite possible that our good wishes may be all too vague and general to be valuable.
I desire, therefore, to express my own sincere desires for the deepest spiritual and moral, intellectual and social life of all your people; for the greatest care for the children of your homes and churches that they may be saved from evil and given the best possible education; that Morgan College may this year fully realize its immediate hopes and ideals; that all pledges made to it shall be fully and promptly paid for the sake of the race and its highest welfare; and that your people may take their largest place in the service of the world.
Our greatest blessings are found in our deepest consecration and most sacrificial service for the world and the kingdom.

He that hath seen me hath seen
the Father. John 14: 9.
The text sets forth Jesus' reply to the question of whether he desired some direct indubitable knowledge of God. Philip expressed an universal craving by humankind to be the subject of his colleague disciples. The implication in Jesus' reply is that he does not see God, but rather Him, does not know Him, neither does he know the Father. The essence of any religion is that it cannot comprehend pure spirit. The human categories break down in the effort to think about God. There must be some concrete setting forth of the ideal. When the heathen in his blindness stone, he is actually making a supreme effort to worship his gods. He conceived image does not require a guide to reverence and devotion for those who attempt to find the ideal which is the God.
God is like Jesus Christ. The Son manifests the Father. Although one cannot speak with absurre problems of metaphysics as relates to the ontology of the Supreme Porson he can look into the world and the Father. Just here do we not think of the mystery of the incarnation? The a n e n t l e n t question the correct point of view when he observes 'God became man that man might become like God.' The revelation of God did not begin with Jesus Christ. The author of the Book of Revelation tells the whole when he speaks of 'The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.' The author of the star dust, and the fire mist, God has been revealing Himself and drawing night into the children men and to aid them in the development and expansion of the human intellect. From the caveman until now the Father has been present in human histo-

In the world-word God geometrizes, and the heavens are by the world of phenomena is lovely and altogether beautiful the ethical and moral order find their highest expression in the Man of the seamless robe. Perhaps we do not think and pretend revelation to the sons of men. In every religion he speaks to his creature(s) to witness anywhere. There is measure of truth and value in Brahman, Buddhism, and the following lines express more truth than poetry? Father of all, in jealousy by guilt, by savage, and by sage, Jehovah, Jove of Lord." While the truth in other religions is recognized, it is evident that the fullest measure is in Jesus. He reigns the earth. The life of Jesus is consistent throughout. It is dramatized on Calvary. There the loving intention is living purpose of the
If one desires to know how much the Father loves for men, he wishes to know how deeply and strongly the Father loves men, and to know how deeply and strongly the Father loves men, and to know how limits the Father will go to redeem men, let him go to Calvary. If one desires to suffer, suffering and dying for men, let him go to Calvary, called it patriaskionism, God's passion.

How apt are the lines which found yearning of Christ, yet God, for men: For none of the ransomance, even the waters crossed Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed thru, Ever he found his sheep that

The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has just announced that in keeping with its mission of Negro business and to serve as fully and as effectually as possible its policyholders and people at large, it will transfer its life insurance Company of Little Rock, Arkansas, which was organized to do Ordinary and industrial insurance business. Older members of the North Carolina Mutual in these states as a nucleus with which the Century Life can build their company.
The Century Life Insurance Company which has among its organizers and officers John A. Baldwin and other men and other men of ability and integrity has as its program the development of the Southwestern Mutual Insurance Company which will extend in time as far as California to care for a large number of the Negro population in this area. The Carolina Mutual Insurance Company have long known the men who are responsible for this underwriting and for the representative of the North Carolina Mutual, is among the most energized and efficient men that the North Carolina Mutual. It was on the appeal of Mr. Olive, through his loyalty and merit and the assurance of the good faith of the men who will be associated with him that the officers of the North Carolina Mutual agreed to transfer these care and further development.
The company assures all policyholders in these states that it is not offering withdrawn from these states, but is capable business group a part of its field which will not only strengthen and encourage the new policyholders, but it will improve and more concentrated field in which these states may be developed for the welfare of the policyholders, because they have frequent visits from and contacts with representatives of the state will thus inherit a well developed field with agency office established and agency forces trained, with agencies of the state, and with agents and the policyholders, and most of all with excellent contracts in force in both Ordinary and Infrastructure Finance. It is required by law to guarantee the contracts and to make certain beyond doubt that policyholders will

Another contributing factor to the transfer of the Southwestern territory is the demand which is constantly being made by a large number of North Carolina Mutual, who have removed to the Northern States and have retained their insurance policies. This demand, in conjunction with the evidence of local officers and the services of local agents in the Northern Centers where they now work, office service is devoted to correspondence and business transactions to care of its Northern policyholders. This demand not only can be carried out by police who moved, but also other members of their families and a larger number of friends and family with the company. This therefore, is a good opportunity for the North Carolina Mutual not only to aid other Negro business companies with the never-failing policy of the Durham business group, but also an opportunity for the company to people in Northern states, because of its twenty-six years of experience, its large trained home office and home office and home operation. The great volume of business of the company, nearly $45,000,000, and the large assets with one-third of the amount to about $25,500,000, the largest and best business experience of its career, the over $3,000,000 assets with one-third of a million policyholders and nearly one-half hundred million dollars of insurance coverage on one-third of the company's business a meritorious addition to a long career of service without loss to any of its policyholders or disappointment worthy member of its organization.
The North Carolina Mutual states that its exchange of correspondence and statements with more than two states has convolved its officials that the Negro population also needs a number of strong insurance companies operated by its own trained personnel. These groups and sections of the country. The insurance business requires most of all intensive development of the fields and careful supervision of the workers of the bankers of the nation learned through many trying experiences that the sectional interests of the Negro population are of the number of strong bank groups with ample capital under intelligent and careful administration, so as quickly and efficiently as possible, in the sections where they operate. The Federal Reserve system has thus given a better economic and financial environment that has ever been known before. The North Carolina Mutual will serve another large and good purpose if it can bring to the attention of strong Negro insurance companies which will better meet the

need of limited territories because of more ready, communication and easier accessibility.
The National Negro Insurance Association has as part of its program the opportunity to teach when the Federal Reserve banking system renders. It can so corporeate the interests of the companies they may serve the colored population without unwise duplication and conserve the spirit of race interest and welfare, though the several companies have only on one personnel, personnel and facilities. The exchanges which the National Negro Insurance Association can contract between the companies' statements and statistics dealing with risks, methods of operation and management of investments in the insurance field, and the benefits of annual sessions in which representatives of all companies can discuss their business activities, coordination and cooperation, will serve a large need for the promotion of a national outlook for Negro companies for the several companies in their particular fields of operation. The ratio of successful white companies to those of Negro companies will be a clear evidence that a like ration of well organized and efficiently conducted Negro companies to the white companies. Such business as is transferred is to assist companies already operating, and only after definite assurance that the policyholders amply and certainly provided for.
The officers have not announced the names or number of states in the Northwest, and the states only enter, but applications have been made to those closest to the present territory, some of which have been made to the business in the Northern states will be in keeping with the plan for concentration. The extension of the business in the adjacent fields are developed. The smaller territory of Northern states, the concentration of people in concentration effort, which these states may be developed and the business supervised make possible extension on a basis Northern State Management which then opened the field of Negro insurance business keeps faith with other business interests and with its partners. The North will be developed because there is need and demand for development, but the business in the North will continue to operate will not suffer loss of any of the service and protection which it has had. It will be organized to have a larger measure of supervision because the field as it will now be organized makes possible closer and more contact with the molder holders.

CARVERWOULD PUT THE APPLE TO MORE USES
TUSKEGEE, ALA—Dr. George W. Curver, after touring Virginia, the state where he worked, the State that wider use should be made of its natural resources. Especially does he recommend newer uses of the apple which goes into the market.
Especially does he recommend newer uses of the apple which goes to waste in some sections. Dr. Crerver's letter in part says:
Dr. Carver's letter in part says: "To Virginia Students:
"Having just returned from a ten days' tour through Virginia, I am filled with inspiration, enthusiasm, and hope. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence come my help."
"I made a list of 56 medicinal plants of value, some of which are becoming quite scarce. These were growing wild and the soil, climate and everything seems favorable to their growth. I thought of the challenging, manufacturing opportunities for pharmaceutical drug laboratories."
"Almost everywhere I went, I saw chays of rare beauty, and of real commercial value. There were others ranging in color from blue to deep red, kareline of rare beauty, China clays, brick clays, and the heavy oxides of iron, and iron and manganese. Near Lynchburg I saw what appeared to be red bauxite, but I couldn't stop to confirm it. I feel sure, that I am not mistaken. I saw a fine quality of graphite, sugar quarts in which gold is often found. A granular silicious rock in which very small rubies were imbedded. Micas glittered everywhere nearly."
"As I passed through the apple-growing sections, sections of ground under the trees in many places literally covered with fine apples going to waste. I wrote letters of thanks to the letters, some of which are before me now, others in my files, asking for help with commercial commodities of almost every kind. They want new uses found for them, similar to the work of the apple-growing sections, clays, pecan, soybean, cow pea, I sensed the need with reference to the ground before it, is full of possibilities.

Alleged to have attacked, severely cut and beat his wife when she came home late Sunday, Stephen Patterson, 48, was sentenced to six months in the Maryland House; for Correction after a hearing in the Northeastern Police station. According to the story told by the wife, Mrs. Vivia Ball, her husband told her to look up a girl friend for his brother so they could make a phone call without her, he attacked her as she entered the kitchen and, dragging her into the dining room, took a razor from a drawer and cut off her hair from the house but was later nabbed by the police.
Came Home With Man
Ball declared that his wife went out early to seek the girl leaving him and the brother-in-law at home to wait. She did not go to the morning, at that time came in a taxi with another man. Following the usual custom of Magistrate O'Neil with offenders who use weapons, Ball was given a term in the House of Correction.
Bell Pays Dearly
For His Kiss
Mistletoe and tanglefoot gut *Luther Bell*. 2807 Lofot street, into trouble. Sunday night which resulted in a fight. Bell saunted into the lunchroom at 933 Pennsylvania avenue full of the holiday spirit, or spirits, and began to put that case on his mind to practice. He tried it out on several lady customers who were enjoying their dinner at one of the tables, not bothered to ask if they were willing or not. The proprietor, whose proportions made him a real boomer, seized the kisser by the roses and the gown, and he was there where his head came in violent contact with edge of the curb. Bell had a peculiar dislike for so much objection that an officer two blocks away started to send in the riot call. The objector was soon placed under arrest and later paid $25 and gave his desire to kiss.

BY HARRY H. PACE, A. N. P.
I know an amiable Jew who goes through the commercial buying and paying, and he will buy anything, and if you offer him a dollar more than he paid for it he will buy the neck that he now owns or even give broke who buys for one price and sells quickly for a higher price. Sometimes he buys fifty at the same price or the next day for a dollar more he does it, thereby making a cheap profit of $50. You can't lose shrug that he says with a wise shrug. Y.
So many of us never know when to sell. No matter what we get, whether real estate, stocks or bonds, jealousy can make the most of dear life. And sometimes to our sorrow. The time to take your profit is when you have it. A piece of property, which could be hundred per cent profit to the owner, later had to be sacrificed to the buyer's own property, which could be quoted at high prices in 1923 could not be given away in 1924.
Trade Don't Hold
There have been more fortunes made through during and successful trading than there have been through holding on to everything one got. There have been times when there is a time to make war on a friend, as well as a time to make peace with an enemy. There is likewise that if we are to make a success as a true to the commercial and financial field, we must know when to sell. I once knew a man who hosted a party with a piece of property in his life, and he was a large land-owner. He had a rent income running into its figures. He so incubated his theory into his business, he bought it. But because of their holdings the development of a big industry needing room to expand was held up, until the industry bought it and grew away from this man's property leaving his heirs with non-productive realty on their hands, which they would gladly sell now, but can-

That is why the uninitiated and the go-getter go into Wall Street to gamble is so often trimmed. He generally goes in greedily while prices are rising. He is not the one who is selling. He sees himself getting richer every day as he reads the quotations. He holds on for a long time when the stock market happens and the bubble bursts. Stocks come tumbling down. Before he reeves he dismounts to sell his shares that have dismounted, and his principal is wiped out.
Kirly Wikely
A year or so ago Clarence Sunderers, a Memphis man who had built up the Piggy-Wiggy Stores, a large chain store in Memphis, so come to New York with a million dollars to trim Wall Street. For a while he had the old traders scored and the small operations haken. He sold his holdings at one time at a profit of several millions it is related. He actually affected the unusual business of opening his stock, and had the old-timers on their knees to him begging for mercy. He refused to settle at a future that would have simply repaid him. He had the way of profit and satisfaction of victory that could be desired. But he held out, and overnight something happened that turned the tables on him. Defeated his profits were wiped out; he lost control of his business and today he is beginning over. He didn't know when he was profitable. **Sell All Profit**

A scholar was visiting a great convention in the Southwest, and noted that every preacher presented to him was introduced as "Doctor."
Finally the visitor became curious to learn whether this was just inter-clerical courtesy, or whether all of them actually had the degree. And so when he next heard the title bestowed upon an indifferent-looking parson, he said: "I am glad to met you, Mr. Heckelsh Schumpeter." The replay was: "I is."

In a statement to a reporter of the pre-American this week, Joseph P. Pars, a past grand master of Marines, has here, stated that he endorsed the proposal of leading candidates the councilmanic fight, that they are together and avoid a primary
This proposition was suggested some time ago by J. Howard Payne, one of the leading candidates in the race that time that he would willingly admit to any plan, whereby the voters would be able to avoid a test which would endanger the success of the colored men on the ticking clock. The voters would announce a definite campaign platform early in the new year.

Sidelights On African History
Heroes Of Homer's "Iliad" Are Negroes
The great Iliad of Homer is the epic of peoples of African descent. Never was this dreamed of, not even by scholars, until Sir Arthur Evans came to the island and discovered in Creto and Mycenaean. Anyone who has studied Grecian mythology deeply had much reason to believe that most of the principals of the Iliad were still undiscovered in people study the myths in such a manner.
In the myths Menelus, Agamemnon did not have the thick touch-borned of Ephesus the thick touch-borned of Zeus and 10. Priam, king of Trey, and father of the great hero Hector, was a blood brother of Athena, King of Athens. The most important principals were various related to African ancestors.
When Sir Arthur Evans the palace ruins of pre-historic Greece, for the first time, were discovered in the mural pictures of the peoples of Homer's time stood before the eyes of Europeans. They were not white, but brownskinned and possessed of the African features of full lips and curly hair.
Then our modern scholars went back to Homer's epic and studied the translations. It was found that descriptions had been mistranslated and words supposed to mean white, fair, or black were used instead, etc. So after untold centuries Africa comes again into her own. The lilad is an epic that belongs to her.
PATENT MEDICINES
PATENT MEDICINES
From Health News
No single remedy is good for everybody; each case of illness differs from that of every other. just as the personal suffering of every other sufferer and medicines self-prescribed and self-admitted are more likely to do harm than good. The postoperative claims of the superintendent would be enough to condemn their use, but some people are willing to take a chance on anything. Don't tinker with yourself by that time. When you are sick, go see your doctor.
Advice On The Use Of Patent Medicines—For Weak Lungs
Purchase a nice chamois-lined chest protector. Put it on your pet pouch (breathes) slowly before and open window each morning. Retire to warm bath room and take a cold glove above the waist line. Do this daily.
For Constitution
Take three or four of Dr. Patent Medicines each night each day around the block, using your hand as propeller. Drink one pint of cold water before breakfast and at bedtime. Eat with regularity less meat and vegetables, using water with a toothbrush. Don't forget to masticate your food thoroughly.
For Dyspepsia
Procure a box of your Dyspepsia Tablets. Put them in your flower pot. Charcoal is good for house plants. Go to your dentist and have your teeth examined. If fatigue, rest before eating. Select a good, wholesome diet, avoiding condiments and spices. Cut out middle and coffee.

And to prove our assertion we ask you to compare the living conditions of the man who is RENTING his home with the one who is BUYING one. The man who RENTS is generally satisfied with a little and usually takes things just as they are, never striving to get ahead and accomplish something.
The man who is BUYING his home can easily be distinguished by his progressiveness—his ambition to succeed; to have something of his own, something for his children and his children's children. He is the upstanding man of the community in nearly every instance.

JOE GANS GREAT LOVER AS WELL AS FIGHTER
Greatest Lightweight Of All Times Had Quartet Of Wives
THIRD MRS. GANS OF WILLIAMS AND WALKER
Joe Followed Show Around Country Until She Capitulated
A career, matters not how brilliant, is never half as interesting as the person who makes it.
Sometimes it is hard to differentiate between these two. For in many cases where persons are not on the field the world only bothers about what that person does after they have reached the pinnacle of success in the field, the trials, the courage in overcoming obstacles that always lay along the road to fame, yet in these we are often to forget, is revealed in the fact that many of his warmest friends and associates whyn the great fighters were to forget, is correctly a half-dozen fights in which he participated. Racially we are not hero builders and it is not the number of another race to far our memories and remind us that the greatest fighter the world has ever known was black and incidentally a Ballt
Robert Edgen, white, with thirty years experience at the library, wrote that he is a ring historian and we feel that we are quoting an authority when we reprint him with his reminiscences of the old master coupled with what bits of his private life that we have gathered from forgetful Baltimore.
Was Great Lover
Perhaps the greatest tribute that could be paid Gans, and reveals his finest trait, is that the same roustabouts who were his friends when he carried out fish around Old Market Space were his friends when he became famous and independent.
Besides being a great fighter Gans was a great lover. Four times he mated, but each time his love affairs were destined to go amiss. Little can be learned of wife number one and two, but in wife number three, there was a beautiful romance. Like the rest it ended on the rocks.
From this union two children were born, Jimmy and Julia, and it was for them that Gans made his supreme sacrifice at Goldfield.
It was there that Joe fought for the largest purse of his career. $11,000 for 42 rounds. But it was in that fight that Joe committed suicide. He was forced to reduce to 133 pounds via of the steam route and the strenuous contest with the hard-hitting Batting Nelson left him exposed so that tuberculosis set in and from that his death march.
The Third Mrs. Gans
Mrs. Gans number three who was recognized by the public as the only real wife, met her husband while she was & member of the Williams family. She followed a long negotiation at the Old Holiday Street Theatre, where colored companies first made their way to Baltimore audiences.
Joe spotted her on the stage fell in love with her followed the show around a bit and before the season was up he had persuaded her to become Mrs. Gans. They lived together in Baltimore and New York. Following their, separation, one month later Mrs. Gans took her abode in Chicago but later returned to this city where she is now employed as housekeeper of Smith's Hotel, whose proprietor.

They worshiped for some years at Calhoun and Smith streets. After son, the congregation wandered from place to place, and finally when the Mt. Zion M.

Old Hangouts
It was in Old Town where Joe spent his boyhood and learned to fight around small chicks and in the rain. Among these the pro-prairie days the following names were familiar: Bob Kelly's place at Springfield and Palmoum and Dallas. Jack Watt's on Orleans street and Coonys on Eden street.
Joe was a familiar figure around these places, although he was not the only person he returned from a fight he would order drinks for the house. Another hobby of Joe's after a fight was to try to get a group of young men to play with him and match them up with the gloves. Fifty cents for a couple of
It was quite a sensation around this neck of the woods when Joe was the first colored man to buy an automobile. It was one of those big carmen-colored affairs decorated with shiny brass and known as the Red Devil. Fifteen or twenty miles an hour was a terrific spectacle.
After the fight with Battling Nelson at Goldfield, Gans 'built the hotel at Lexington and Chestnut place. The Goldfield has housed many of the greatest colored celebrities known to man in that mashkellar, the black and tan mixing that Harlem brags about was old in southern Baltimore years ago. The largest share 'in this hotel was, left to his two children.

'NUMBERS' CRAZE IS SPREADING OVER BALTIMORE
Two "Banks" Said To Be Running And Taking In Big Sums Here Daily
ALLEGED "WINNINGS"
BOOSTING BUSINESS
Runners Comb City For New Prospects Whom They Tell Of Big Returns
The, "Numbers" craze which set New York City in a fury several years ago and is said to have taken millions from the laboring people, has struck Baltimore.
At least two "banks" have been found by a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN to be running full tilt here, and "runners" are busy in the pursuit of the big catches "every part of the city where there is a prospect."
Returns Daily
The gambling device is based on the daily publication of clearing house reports, certain numbers from the totals and balances being used. Here in Baltimore the last three digits of the total are discarded and the next two form the first two in the lucky number. To this is added a digit in the balance which completes the number.
In order to place a bet you name a number with three digits, just any number which strikes you as a lucky number. You give the runner from one cent to two dollars to place on the bet. You will understand the possibilities of the game when it was declared that a winning on one cent has reached as much as $7. A dollar placed recently is said to have netted the winner $200.
Every day when the first editions of the newspapers appear any player can figure out whether or not he or she has won. The betting is always predicated in the following day's figures.
Many Players
From conversations picked up in barber shops, restaurants and other public places, betting is done daily by a constantly growing number of people. From $30 to $40 daily in small amounts on their "beat". For a while the activities have been kept within the congested section of flower Drudr Hill avenue, but the outlying Northwest section.
John W. Hawkins, 321 Preston street, was not arrested and fined in Northwestern police station, he told an AFTO reporter this week Mr. Hawkins' name appeared on the docket, but according to his statement, it must have been in misfake.

High Principal Called On Teachers For Help When Students Gave Him Razz
Principal And Teachers Earn $2 Per Half Hour Singing
For Radio Station While Parents Wait For
Monthly Meeting
What took place in the Douglas High School gymnasium last week when pupils hissed protest when left in confusion is just-becoming known. Some of the pupils declare it was one of the many disgraceful incidents that mark the present administration of the high school. There was in progress a basketball game between the junior and the regular high school team. Athletic Director, Leonard U. Gibson, was acting as official. One side had just shot a goal; another who filled the gymnasium to capacity when Principal Hawkins walked on the floor and halted the game. Exactly what he said was so markedly the resulting confusion that no one could recall his words exactly. Several pupils present, however, declared that cheers and yells would have to stop; that pupils could yell streets but not in the school building.
Immediately there came from the pupils in the gallery cries of Goo and hisses, and hisses, Mr. Hawkins is then reported to have asked one of the teachers to no longer give the students. However, none of the teachers moved to execute his order and the rapidly pupils and hisses.
Mr. Gibson blew his whistle and game continued. There was no further interruption.
**The Christmas Assembly**
This incident which is declared to be typical of the high school where the administration is unable to control and disobey the rules because the reason why the Douglas High School hold no Christmas assembly before adjourning for the holidays.
The administration is believed, for the school to control the large number of students in a public assembly.
**Parents Meeting**
A number of parents were astonished at the report given at the recent Parent-Teacher meeting at the school this month which indicated that only three of the 60 students with membership fee of 60 cents each during the past school year.
The Parent-Teacher Club had a number of teachers under way but of them has materialized.
One of the projects talked about was the erection of a radio receiving and sending set at the school. Another was to purchase a large photograph of Frederick Douglass, for whom the school is named. The other project was the erection of a $10,000 organ in the school auditorium.
At this, meeting some of the teachers and for a time the principal was not present. Inquiry drew the statement from those present and the teachers from those present, the teachers are members of the Jubilee singers who perform every Tuesday night from 9 to 10:30 over WBAL radio station for which they receive a fee. For the absence of some of the teachers from the meeting.
One parent came especially to interview some nine teachers as to the progress of the school and able to tolerate five of them.
The Jubilee singers rehearsed Monday of this week in the music room of the school building prior to or after Tuesday's critical reel over the air.
Administration Observation
In the past two months that the school administration has the Douglas high school under observation for the purpose of determining if it might be adding in the maintenance of proper discipline.
One of the students reported Assistance as saying in his hearing that "it was a mess".
No Personal Criticism
Newspaper articles which have appeared from time to time in the AFRO-AMERICAN concerning conditions of Douglas high school have been the official Hawkeye as personal criticism.
Reporters from the AFRO-AMERICAN, however, were in agreement with the facts without editorial comment.
Complaints have frequently reached the AFRO-AMERICAN during the past few months concerning the disorder of classes, disorder in the assembly hall, where the students meet for regular devotions and literary programs, the admission of students, the sometimes fast and sometimes slow due to the fact that he could no longer get the correct time over the bus. The United States then came the incident of several hundred children locked out one morning because the school doors were closed before nine o'clock, easing Pennsylvania avenue to the office of Supervisor Francis Wood and

urged the abrogation of the rule under which the school doors were closed at nine o'clock so that late conveners could lose to a whole day in school.
At Old Building
Similar lack of discipline obtained at the old high school building, but was explained by reason of the fact, that some 1200 children were crowded in which norms are preempted by a 600. In the new building which the city erected at a cost of over $1,500,000 with facades of near £200,000 a year, this same explanation would not account for the continued absence of discipline.
Corrected
In educational circles there is a feeling that the school authorities are not under the control of the administrative administration of Douglass high school and are making efforts to have it corrected.
Apparently, some declare they are willing to take drastic action and make a change in the high school administration until they and the public are convinced through the continued public demonstrations that absolutely no other course available.
