(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.

A charge of abduction was placed against the woman. Mrs. Corbin's woman, denied the girl's charges and declared that she had come to her house and asked her to let her spend the night as her people had put her out. Consent was given on the condition that she leave in the morning. Miss Corbin denied that she knew that the girl was in the same room with Rich. His room was in the rear, she stated. The magistrate declared that it was with reluctance that he held the woman for the action of the Grand Jury but the seriousness of the charge prevented him from doing otherwise. Accused Blind Man Rich was held without ball when officers testified that they had to break the door down to gain admittance to his room. A warrant was issued for James Jones, a blind man of Hamstead Court, when the girl stated that she had stayed with him several nights before going to the Riggs average home, after her mother had threatened to put her in a home. James is 40 years of age. He is also being held in connection with the case. 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. BISHOP BROOKS FATHER OF 34 SAILS FEB. 10TH JUST BURIES FOR AFRICA FIFTH WIFE NEW YORK—Bishop W.

Whole Dining Car Crew Wiped Out; 20 Killed, 35 Injured BLOW TORCHES USED TO LIBERATE WAITER 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. Captivates Countess. And strange to say, the slinger captured the heart of the Well known Vienna beauty. Countess Helena Koloyro, of a high born Austrian family, formerly of the Kaiser's Court. Her husband is the distinguished Vienna aristocrat. Count Koloyro is important in the Countess's place. The Countess upon seeing and hearing the tenor, fell head over heels in love with him, since which time she never misses one of his concerts. Afterwards, she invited him to her home, where he sang to her, while she sat at her feet. She was loved, and she loved her love for him, which he fully returned. The affair continued until the Count became aware of his wife's lover and an occasion when Hayes called, attempted to expel him from the house. Manhandels Count Iroland not only has a powerful voice to bewitch women, but, as he-bitting an American, he has a strong belief in the power, probably well known to the l'usbands of his loves, which he used with advantage in repulsing the Count, and after handling the Count quite roughly, fled with his beloved Countess to an Austrian waterling place. Seeming The Count, he said, had a strong sense of power and his beautiful white wife, enamoured with the black singer, announced her engagement to him. Our press seethed with the extraordinary story and the artisocracy were convulsed with chagrin. "In Heaven's Name," cried they, "I am an affair!". "A精细 lady, to wed a woman!" said he, proudly. "Now, let us know. 'Negro?'" "Open heaven, weep." "What are things coming to?" "Is indeed the universe tosy turvy?" "Has the Countess gone mad?" 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.

The time was when children showed symptoms of mental disorders that they were either taken out of school and buried from view and associations in their homes, or sent away to a school for the public school system of Baltimore is finding another way to deal with such cases and has established in some of its schools classes for mentally defected boys and girls. IS HE MARRIED Various Defects Science has discovered that the mental mechanism of children may become temporarily disarranged in about the same manner that trouble may occur in a telephone or telegraph system. serves may become broken in which case as in which carry delicate electric impulses may be crossed or broken and just as your telephone or your electric lights may fail to work you may be unable to brain faculties of the human being show results of disarrangements. When this happens in your telephone system, you don't scrap it, but you send it to the cross or broken wires and mends them. This is just exactly what the public school is making for backward children, of which is now established in School 114 at Caroline and Lombardia. The present class at School 114 is composed of two girls and six boys. Although their ages range up to 13 or 14 years they need to be trained in the kindergarten state of their development. Therefore, you will find in the kindergarten room for children a specially trained instructor, all of the paraphernalla that you find in a kindergarten room for children to be trained in the reporter for the AFRG-AMERICAN visited this class recently, there was a little organ, numerous blocks and paper dolls, many pictures and The method of instruction also follows the individual type and each child is dealt with as a "case" in some things and especially in the playing of games. For instance, a game, wherein the teacher hides an article and the children look at it, then they play a game. They are not to touch the article, but when it is seen, the children take their seats and the last one who finds it must take it to the teacher. This process sets the stage for an action thus which, even though abnormal, it is trained to orderly. Unusual Cases Many unusual cases occur among children of this type. For instance, in this class there is a little boy who does not interest in any game and even when made to look is always the last one to find the lost article and the first one to sit down when they are asked to sing. This does not sing with the group and would sit throughout the entire class period without so much as an utkep out of the insane asylum or upon him to preach and he goes directly into action, getting off a sermon as coherent and orderly as if he were a prodigy. The moment involves what scientists call dementia, precox, by which they mean a mental illusion which makes the subject's mind center about some one activity, wishes to do and will do normally is preach and sing, and he sings with a voice which is clear and loud. Except when preaching, note his utterances gr understandable. Another little girl presents an interesting case. When she first came to school she had to talk or do anything. She is now the leading singer in the little group and although she writes in the recorder, she reads from left to right, you must read from right to left to decipher what she says. She can do so with unusual dexterity. It can easily, with looking glass, which sets it in the right position. How she learned this queer menhship, no one knows. Three of the boys are building a house and store for Christmas. They keep to their tasks without paying attention to the room. In fact, they seem so intently occupied with what they are doing, that they did not even hear the surrounding conversation. The girl mentioned had not been sent to school at all. The picture of what they would have in mind becomes absolutely normal, but the design of Li class is to fit them as nearly as possible to take some place in society which will not be a The little class room in which this interesting experiment is being carried on is on the second floor of the building, and the sunlight come in. For the most part, they are allowed to do in the room just about what they please, the instructor stepping in to guide them only where she can change the normality. If these children are any of them become normal, which is expected, this class will have served its purpose. Abnormalities Although there are only eight children being thus treated in the colored division of the public school system, it is known that there are eight children with slightly abnormal minds. It is also known that even in some of the best families, children, because of a disinclination on their part to struggle along with normal children without the special treatment which a special class would give and thus so handicapped into life, their defects to break out at some when it is too late to mend them. In a recent visit to Crownville, the writer's attention was called to a large number of cases, which the writer cured if treated in extreme youth. The time will probably come when every child will be as carefully examined as physical defects as he cures prescribed in each case. "Bob" Church Sued On $17,000 Note Memphis, Tenn.

The borough of Lawnside was incorporated by the State of New Jersey in March, 1928. The first election of officers was held in April, at which time the present mayor, the Honorable Lawns, Hammings, six councilmen and assessor and collector of taxes were elected. The population of the town is slightly over one million. In 40 of which whites, people in that election there were 1713 votes cast. That the borough of Lawnside is a thriving town may be seen by the fact that already it boasts of three churches, two fire stations, a school, a nursing home, a eight room school with eight teachers, and a Board of Education, comprising nine members. It has also a post office, a Building with a library, a $155,000, and its borough clerk had the distinction of being the first colored calendar clerk in the assembly of New Jersey. According to Mayor Hemmings, the borough has wide opportunities for expansion and would be an excellent place for manufacturing. It could locate where they would have every encouragement. Recently the Herbs of Life Company, directed by Dr. Peter Pike, has been employing ten or twelve persons. A hotel, which is patronized by motorists of both races enroute to the Atlantic City area, has been located there. Being on the White Horse Pike, there are all kinds of opportunities for business men to enter to the constant flow of traffic between Atlantic City and Philadelphia. The borough of Lawnside, according to its Mayor, promises to become one of the most promising towns in New Jersey. BEDFORD, VA.—Rev. William Lettwich died at his home on Franklin St., BEDFORD, VA.

BRITISH LABOR IS OPPOSED TO IMPERIALISM ment Fight Explortion In Africa And India British White Females Like Colored Workers Shut Out Of Unions By Thomas L. Dabney LONDON.—The liberal politicians of England have their hands full in the fight against British imperialism among the subject races and minority groups of Asia and Africa. Particularly praiseworthy is their work in behalf of the exploited Indians and enslaved Africans. For a long time I have been an ardently new definitely what the labor groups of England were doing in regard to the exploitation of African workers by the British Capitalists. On living America I plan to go all the information available in regard to the attitude and action of labor members of Parliament toward the imperialistic designs of the British Government. I put these questions to Hon. Morgan Jones, labor member of Parliament, last October on the occasion of his college. His answer was general, vague and entirely unsatisfactory. He merely said that the labor members were opposed to the imperialistic policies of the Government and did what could against it. Secretary Brookway I was fortunate enough yesterday to arrange a meeting with former Broker Lawyer of the Tennessean Labor Party of England. I lost no time putting questions to him relative to the attitude of the I. L. P. and Labor members of Parliament to the imperialistic policies of Great Britain in Africa and In- Mr. Brockway assured me that labor members of Parliament and leaders of the Independent Party, and work parties, are fighting against the exploitation of Africans and Indians by British and aid of the Government. One Irish Capitalists with the parliamentary party, for example, is devoted to a discussion of the Indian budget during which time labor members speak against the Indian government, expose the shameful policies of the Government in regard to the natives. Indian Workers On July 20, Hon. Thomas Johnson laid out the policies of Parliament, made an able speech on the conditions of the Indian workers in which he criticized the Government for its imperialistic policies, and the natives. Other labor members also spoke on the situation in South and East Africa, Keyna and Irah where British Capitalists are exploiting and enslaving the workers. The Independent Labor Party has published a pamphlet by one of its members, Charles Loden Buxon, on 'The Black Jack' in his pamphlet with these fine grills of truth. White Sisters The white Sisters are sweating the black man. I do not mean merely the white man on the spot; I mean the white races—ourselves. That is the broad and terrible significance of what is called the "Native Race ramifications and the literature, of Question." The question is one of wide range and deen significance. We are not the only group which we can not evade. And white races may profit for a time but the exploitation of the black man will lead, sooner or later, to the degradation of the white worker also. Socialism Pamphlets The Independent Labor Party was published several times on pages in Africa in Inlandia, Today, A Report of Condi. tions in India; The Black Man's dia and China. Among these are their studies and How to End War. In the last three considerable space is devoted to the conditions and problems of of the natives in Africa under the Nation's rule. The I. L. P. also publishes two journals. The Socialist Review, a monthly paper and the New Leader, a weekly paper of these articles and reports on the condition of the natives of Africa and India. Summer School at Easton The work of the other, the P. L. revealed. It conducts annually a summer school at Easton Lodge. At Easton Lodge the East meets the West. The students who attend this Nation's school are involved in and participate in a frank discussion of the race problems precipitated by the British imperialism in Africa. The much of the supervision of the school lacks tain meetings in the South to discuss the race problem. Negroes are welcomed at the school and they are given sympathetic treatment. Much weight and significance are attached to the speeches made by Negroes. During the week beginning August 7th, lectures and discussions were held on British imperialism in Africa as well as in India. On Friday the question of Africa was raised by students of R. S. Blay, the President of the Union of Students of Africa Descent. Mr. Blay spoke on the "social and economic life of Africa" and the conditions under which the natives of East and South Africa are living are virtually those of chattel slavery. Mr. Blay being a native of Africa, could speak well of the situation in his native land. African Problems During the last week of the summer school moved to Africa, where the main speech was made by Dr. S. Leys on "Subject Races." He was in a position to contribute much to the study of Africa, and living lived in East Africa 16 years. England's Interest in U. S. The Independent Labor Party is interested in race relations in Africa, but it is also interested in race relations in America, Mr. Brockway expressed the desire to make contacts with young energetic Negro workers in the Negro Socialists. He was greatly impressed with the campaign to organize the Negro porters. The reading public here is greatly interested in the American Negro. Several editors whom I have met said that the English were interested in the latest developments in America among Negroes, but I saw little about such developments. Marcus Garvey Many people have asked me to make contact with his movement. There is much interest among the labor and trade union group in the question of the union of white and black workers in the American The assistant Editor of the New Leader told me that the women conditions to face while trying to break into the British Trade Union Movement that Negro Worker and the American trade union officials and labor leaders are expressing sympathy and in the meantime are working to produce a whole True Greatness ARANS By R.

Probe DETECTIVE'S EXPENSES REACH $7,000 MARK Friends Say Whole Affair Is Plan To Get Even With Bishop Jones CHICAGO, ILL., (A. N. P.)—Chicago money, that of a millionaire, is behind the investigation now being made into the affairs of Wilberforce University, according to Sheridan E. Brusseaux, principal of the Keystone National Detective Agency, under whose direction the probe is being made. That much the Chicago detective acknowledged in an interview with a representative of the Associated Negro Press, under whose direction the probe is being made. From one of the many trips he has made to the Ohio school. "I am not at liberty now to tell you who this man is," the detective professed, "but there will come time when not only of my own kind, but of the inside known, but all the facts in connection with this investigation." Millionafre "Why should a Chicago millionaire be interested in exposing conditions at Wilberforce?" Mr. Brusenoux, was asked. To this question he gave a reply that was not exactly a reply. The Chicago millionaire is supposed to have been approached by a doctor, which were to be made on the church side of Witlerforce. He was asked for a donation, according to Mr. Brussouse. Before the rich man could make up his mind, a doctor from a series of irregularities at Witlerforce. He therefore is said to have decided that before he would give the institution anything, would spend much time on concrete investigation into the condition of the school. Excuse $7,000 That so far is the explanation of expenditures that Brussels claims have amounted to $7,000. The inquiry is gone three weeks after the inquiry came to a head. So far, the school authorities have made no direct answer to statements that have appeared in newspapers. Mr. Jones, president of the church school, or the university, and Richard C. Bundy, superintendent of the state or national school, have both denied the authority of the investigation and the character of the investigators. These statements were broadcast by the Associated Negro Press. Detailed answers were given to the question. The answers have come in number of "facts" have been recounted by the newspapers, none which any of the school officials have given. The important issue is the allegation that Bissoura Jones Jones illegally manipulated $125,000 worth of contracts in Shorter Hall, the school head at the school. Anches "facts" are contracts and checks for $11,000 worth of coal which the school never received. Reporters On Hand Reporter Brussels claims that he has released the information which has appeared in the papers. At the scene of the inquiry, he says, were reporters. These men, he acknowledges, accompanied him in his work, and wrote of the things that "But I have made no report to them or to anybody else," he says, "I shall not make a report until January 15, when I expect to hear before the committee of representatives." for the Rangers asserted that students and teachers at Witwerfer had come so incensed over the investigation that they sought to run the investigation, said to have been manhandled by an instructor named Green and a student named Sweet, a brother of the Detroit Sweet who was defended by murder charge by the Darrow. "I Told Sweet after the incident," Brussaux says "that he had better be careful, that Detroit could would be glad to get the informa-mentally he was trying to molest." Sweet Involved With the authorities at Wilberforce maintaining their silence, is left for the authorities to provide background for the present disturbance. Most of those friends do not believe that there is anything fundamentally wrong at Wilberforce. The Joneses "The entire trouble down there," one friend who seems to express explains, "is one of the others that is good to too many. For a good few years there has been a growing resentment toward the domination of Bishan Jones and his ambition for his son, Gilbert. This resentment has persisted in disregard of any amount of creditible to the Bishop or done." "Bishon Jones has worked here. He has always been an indefatible worker, an ahead of time business and has not waited and the time to explain. He has pursued the course that would require no explanation and the course that would admit of the time he intends to represent and advance. But not having that, his critics have been alert for every seeming Bishon Not Wealthy. "But isn't it a fact that, Bishon Jones has grown rich. By the time he was asked, "I do not know that Bishon Jones is rich," he replied. "But I feel that most of what he may have done to motivate enterprises. For many years he has been a practical intensive farmer, working in the fields himself, that he has been successful in this work. If the present investigation should force Bishon Jones to expose him, that he will have nothing to blame but the original act of working to displace the late President Scarborough, has been. Such effort, has grown to be regarded as notorious. Call VE rnon 6016 William C. Graves, secretary to Julius Rosenwald, said that he knew of no Wilberforce request for aid and believes Mr. Rosenwald is making no investigation of that college. WILBERFORCE TO HIT BACK AT PROBERS President Gilbert Jones Believes Detectives' Reports Are Libellous FOUNDERS DAY DRIVE IS CASE IN POINT Bishop Jones In No Wise Involved As Detectives Charged WILBERFORCE, O.—Wilberforce University victim of unfavorable publicity for the past few weeks, plans to hit back at enemies of the institution. By Gilbert H. Jones (President, Witherforce University, WILBERFORD, OHIO) We have, for the first favorable publicity for the past few weeks plans to hit back at enemies of the institution. Sheridan Brusselsky, Chicago district attorney, who have so far kept under cover while broadcasting false statements as to the management of the school's come out and fight in the open the libelous statements they have made. President Jones said today, "We are in a position to consider consideration, but, I am not in position to say just what will be done." To the AFRO President Jones gave the following statement today: "We regret that institutions and people could be made the victims of this attack been proved and as I believe cannot be proved true. Most of it I know is false, but it seems that such an attack cannot be proved but we have to suffer it to go on." "The man's aim, undoubtedly, is to muddy and tarnish the institution much of which he manufactures out of the whole cloth and he gives an urgly term to perfectly fine things that he can possibly turn to muck-raking purposes; for example, he charges the Founders Day drive. Day drive raises $4,000.00 for Wilberforce University and turned in $4,000.00. And had anything to do with the Founders Day drive. It is a drive gotten up by the President, the Faculty, and within the school organization. The reports are made directly to the President of the institute, who over all the funds the drive paid and the balance turned over to the Secretary of the University. "That is the knowledge that every student has had of Founders Day who has been at the institution." Day drive. "In the second place the average of the Founders Day drive is usually small ranging anywhere from "The report of the President, in 1822, was incorporated in his report to the Tristeza Board, and nothing to do with it the Board had nothing to do with it and knew nothing of it. No Founders Day drive has ever brought us to what more interesting to me is that Bishop Jones nor any other Bishop ever got hold of the Founders Day report on the Founders' Day money." Only Color Counts (Phillip Kerr, Capetown Dispatch To African World) "There was no doubt that color was entering more and more into the international relations of the world. The Asiatic was becoming race conscious and color conscious. The African was tending to do the same thing." "As they knew, color was an in-predient, if they introduced it into politics or society, which acted as an irritant." "Undoubtedly it would require all the statesmanship that the world possessed to prevent the world from lining up on color lines in the next century. He said that in every country in which we had people who had got to deal with color problems or to consider that aspect of the question, if once they allowed international politics to become organized on color lines they were introducing an element which would be far more difficult to deal with than of the sort of racial feelings and passions which divided countries on a minor scale. There was no doubt that color was going to be one of the most acute problems." U. S. Publications A Portable Direction Finder for 90 to 1,700 Kilocyles.

Rogers After Dixie Tour Predicts 2nd Emancipation Blacks In South Throw Up A "Protective Psychology" Against White Oppression. Dixie Whites Demand Economic And Sexual Explanation By J. A. Rogers Another Emancipation Coming Northern states, with horror at tales of lynching and segregation in the South, are inclined to think that the migration to the North was due, primarily, to those things. The few who were chased by the mob, it is safe to say that the great majority came because of oppression in the pocketbook, and they saw relief in the North, or were sent to projects. In short, they bled with indignation, not at the lynchings, but at the size of the pay envelope. Back South Again And when work slackened in the North they returned, to the South in hordes, the majority remaining, of oppression, with some heat that they could get jobs at home they couldn't get in the North. One blacksmith, working at his trade, said the best job and get in Detroit was as a helper. ital on the spot, low taxes and plenty of cheap, unorganized labor, added to the northern capitalists paradise. But this will not be long, as industrialization means increased education, which brings increased desirability to better wages, which is going to be had only by unionization, hence it is only a matter of time when the North will be an unionized workers will be an unionized as in the North. Industrial Triangle Furthermore, with the Negro worker experiencing a slim laboration, there be an industrial triangle—white worker, Negro worker, capitalists. During periods of unemployment or strikes there are going to be two opposing armies of the North, with some heat that they could get jobs at home they couldn't get in the North. One blacksmith, working at his trade, said the best job and get in Detroit was as a helper. At East St. Louis and Chicago the Negro workers are at home and in great numbers. Everywhere I found Negroes in the South doing work, mechanical work, or only with great difficulty in the North. Of course, there ought to be no cause for surprise at this, because there is a lack, there is a black, just as in the North the bulk of it is white. From North To South Furious. For the economic is economic is the fact that there is a continuous migration of northern Negroes to the South—of teachings to fill supplies while collar jobs in clerks, accountants, stenographe Negro concerns. And make themselves at home, assuming the protective psychology, and even becoming anti-North, while many are angry, but remain for the money, sale. These facts may seem to bear out the southern white's suitment that the South is the best place for the white to be worse. It shows that the Caucasianized Negro, here as well as in the West Indies and South Africa, is so much of a white man within, that he himself for himself that he hasn't sufficient group-sympathy to be hired by conditions that would be most gifting to the whites were they in the Negro. When the southern white man says the best place for the Negro is in the South, he is thinking not of the Negro, but of himself. He cannot capacities or to have them around mainly because of lower wages, color, egism, the Negro's definitely mixed social position, and the fact that he felt from his experiences in America, Europe and elsewhere that white persons have less real color prejudice than multitudes and blacks. The economic and sexual exploitation of the Negro, and as Olsunsted pointed out in his "Slave Race" race report, the Negro has a proportion as these forms of exploitation are permitted or resisted. For instance, the Jim-Crow law of Georgia expressly provides that when a colored man travels as the servant of white he rides in the white coach. This is the law, written or unwritten, over the entire South, and includes convicts in the charge of white sheriffs. Between Durham and Greensboro is a bus line that will take Negroes only in these capacities, hence one way to wipe out the Jim-Crow car is for all Negroes to become donies for convicts. What is almed at, as was said, is the social degradation of the Negro, in order that his labor and his sex power may be had in the cheapest market. Hence, too many Negroes, white men at heart, demand segregation. I talk casually with many native whites, and I found among them a great dislike for the foreign born white, particularly the Jew, who was positively detested, and who is saved only by his color from much attacks. When the white foreigner goes South, instead of being exploited he becomes an exploiter. He starts in by invading the southerner's special preserve, the Negro, and having fattened on that, turns in and exploits the would-be exploit And so for that and other reasons at the routher work. At times he even gets a white collar job, minus that being that would be "social equality." For instance, in Atlanta, the white nurse refused to wear the sand-colored La Grange, Georgia, a textile town, the company houses for the white are painted white; those for the colored, chocolate. To have some color would be "social equality." Wages, generally speaking, are from a half to three-quarters of the income in such lines as bricklaying, plumbing, coal mining. Many are in the union and get the union wage, but complain, as in the North, about discrimination. Housewives in the North ten to fifteen; porters, ten to fifteen to the North's eighteen and twenty-five; farm hands, dollars, dollars, Food costs about the same, but rent is cheaper and the general standard of living is lower. Birmingham, Ala. There are exceptions, however, in Birmingham where wages are almost as high as in New York. Birmingham Negroes, with plenty of ready money, have perhaps a higher per capita wealth than elsewhere. the labor in Birmingham, however, I understood, was on place for Chicago and the Middle West, and for those further South, who after making a rapid stake in the effect of cheapening labor, the blame for which was placed on greed in Chicago. Wakes, as was said, were generally, low, and the employers sought, to keep them so. I was asked to help Sears, Roebuck & Company suggest- continued on Galley 14. paid paying workers in Atlanta for Commerce objected: the same in Norfolk, Va., when the Ford plant objected: the same in Nebraska, and other instances. Nevertheless, I found particularly among domestics a sentimental effect of Negro psychology is that it is too effuse over small mercles. The Negro worker is too inclined to pay a driver does him a fayer, hiring him. The South, with the greatest undeveloped resources, agricultural land and coal for northern capital. The textile industries have practically deserted New England; Birmingham, New York; and the steel city; North Carolina is progressing rapidly; almost every there are signs of industrialization. Caucasianized Negro Bough Work Birmingham, Ala. In the spot, low taxes and plenty of cheap, unorganized labor, admit and child, is the northern capitalists' paradise. But this will not be for long, as industrialization means increased education, which brings increased desires, which mean greater unrest and a demand for better wages, which is going to be had only by unionization, hence, it is only a matter of time when the steel and textile workers will be unionized as in the North. Industrial Triangle Furthermore, with the Negro worker experiencing a similar evolution, there is going to be an industrial triangle—white worker, Negro worker, capitalists. During periods of unemployment or strikes there are going to be two opposing armies of labor, one white, the other black. Northern race riots after the war were, at the bottom, incited by competition for the job. At East St. Louis and Chicago the Negroes were strangers, but in this case they are at home, and in great numbers. The whites then must either take in the Negroes, or they will find them, pitted against them when they demand better wages—a step the whites surely will be forced to in spite of such sops as welfare programs. However, I am not expecting the workers to take in the Negro, as they, more than the other whites, are bitten with the rabies of race prejudice. Lightning to Strike Some day there is going to be the死 of the Negro, and this carefully prepared arsenal of hate. This degradation and exploitation of humanity on the insane pretest of a differecnt of completeness or always, if it was monstrous a contradiction. Not ten miles from Atlanta, the leading city of the South, I saw Negroes so low in the scale of our clothes so encurred with dirt, that they would have been better off had they remained in the jungles of Africa, where there was little to hide. Their clothes have been washed by the dew. And all of this in America whose purse is bursting with gold. Another emancipation is due, and it is because of Thomas Jefferson foresaw, in a similar evil, the Civil War and said that he trembled for his country when he remembered that God was just.

A Study Of 500 Free Love Mothers In New York Fuzzy Wuzzy- Kipling Hero Dies At Age Of 90 MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman, Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. By Rutli Reed. Published by The Columbus Press, 2060. Broadway, New York City. Price $2.25. I like occasionally to call attention of readers of Book Chat to some college thesis upon a phase of the course. I am not a fan of the small contributions to the sum of human knowledge on our much dis- cussed question, they do bring knowledge rather than discussion. I am not a fan of the small Ruth Reed has studied five cases of Negro mothers in New York who have given birth to illegitimate children from the records of philanthropic agencies. They represent, she tells us, Negroes of the lower economic group, and we must be cautious in extending our touch with this group, and with this group and of the city studied. Miss Reed starts out with describing the status of the parents on American States the mother is held in the same relation to the illegitimate child in only one State, Minnesota, is the father held to the same degree of responsibility. Dollars are the Scandinavian element for in Norway we have the same position given to the father, and State laws contribute Quite early in the book we learn that illiteracy cannot be explained in terms of education. Miss Reed tells us, "are invariably" higher than the corresponding rates for whites in the same communities, yet their education can be lower for whites and can be explained in terms of historical conditions and present social surroundings without the need for education. Climate likewise cannot explain illegitimacy. One can, however, note that "The unmarried mother group known to private and public schools has been exceeding the number of women from the lower economic groups whose educational and occupational opportunities have been exceeding the number of dull and feeble-minded women are found in (From Boston Chronicle) We doubt if many of the present generation have heard of Gosman Digma, who died this week at the age of 90. A quotation from Klipping who epitomized Digma's career in a poem entitled Fuzzy Wuzzy may give a description of the man: "An 'er' to you Fuzzy Wuzzy, you Big, you Big, you Big, your 'aykirk head of hair' you broke a British square." The poem tells the story of this man, a leader in the Soudanese war, the British General, Lord Kitchener, and defeated some of Britain's crack troopers. He was held captive, captured for 22 years only having been released four years ago. The exploits of the warrior who captured the British invasion of the British into the Soudan make interesting reading. His greatest feat is told: the Soudanese led an indiscriminate attack on the left and Joining square when the enemy was sighted on the edge of the khar. The tribesmen came down to the town, deserved to charge, and up it went. It opened a little as it went and the tribesmen came down to the town, deserved to charge, and up it went. It joined the khar, and the brigade came back in disorder. Man to man, Phi Delta Kappas End Session WASHINGTON. - The Phil Delta Kappa security, composed largely of teachers who have graduated from the local normal school, closed a two hour day school, held a Clover and School. The organization was established in 1922, and has grown so within the last 3 years until chapters have been organized including Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The main object of the convention was to promote an expansion campaign. The national officers are as follows: Hilda Cannon, Alpha president; Mrs. Agnes Freeman, Beta, first vice-president; Miss Gross, Alpha, second vice-president; Miss Lillie Grimpee, third Beta, recording secretary; Miss Julia Ashbury, Alpha, financial secretary; Mrs. Milda Brown, Beta, juror; and Miss Millard Bals, Alta, correspondent secretary, will preside.

This fact causes the daily haggle of daily coach equipment on its trains. It is entirely possible that Southern Railway train No. 23, named the "Boll," was a stranger of the "oxodus," operated between Augusta, Georgia and Washington, carries more day coaches than any train, and has three. The equipment is a combination baggage-jim-crow car, "white folks' coach", diner, with the Pullmans bringing up the rear. Such with the makeup of the Ponce de Leon—and JIM CROW CAR NEAR ENGIN The jim crow car was next to the engine. It should have been canopy, to receive, full air, heavy cars behind running on, and thus have least resistance. It got the impact but resisted. The "white folks" coach did the driving in the fins—just as if the bottom had been taken out and the remainder lifted up and then forced down on eating, the killed and maked passengers in these two cars, in which were no Negro passengers. MELTED One wanked caught in the wreckage and had to be got out by melting the imprisoning steel with blow torches. He prayed and was finally released uninjured. He was weighed and killed. The Lord smiled on me. He may have as truthfully said the Lord had smiled on that jim-crow car, jammed—when no mail or express cars are carried—up against the engine tender. The new balloon pants have sure satisfied man's craving for the wide the group. A large proportion come from homes where relationships between parents were abnormal or where one or both parents where Taking up the definite five hundred Negro cases studied Mild Reed, Riley after describing for us in detail fourteen particular cases, draws a few conclusions: We have come from an environment differing widely from that in which they were reared. Of this two-thirds, one-third were born in the city. Seventy-six per cent were under twenty-five years of age. The percentage of literacy for the Negro percentage for the Negro throughout the city. Eighty-five per cent had been engaged in domestic service. The percentage of women in the city was seventy-one. In two-third of the cases the child was kept by the mother or with relatives while she went out The book has few generalizations. The writer cannot see that the Negro mother an illegitimate child is different from the white mother. She finds that the Negro is trying to conform to the white mother, she does not need that. She is creating any new type of morals. If she is a wage earner oftener than the white mother, she does not need that. She is creating a greater social freedom. She finds that she can do best in America by conforming as far as she can to the white world. Such conformity helps her economically. She straightens her hair for this reason, and lightens her complexion, she then becomes the limitlessness of the Negro as a factor in his assimilation of an American culture, but perhaps she has been the granting or the withholding of the goods of life in proportion as the Negro conformed or did not conform to the ideals of the living group. Miss Reed tells us that we cannot compare Negro illegitimacy with white illegitimacy because we have not the compressive dane. And with this win conclusion she finishes her book. Kipling Hero Age Of 90 breast to breast, bayonet to knife, they died there that morning and the naval guns which had been left behind were captured before they. And to prove that Kipling was right when he died. "It's the only thing that doesn't give a damn For a regiment of British Infantry." we quote a short account of the engagement which led up to the temporary relief of the Sudan owing to the activities of this redoubled warrior: "But only two days later he came to Tafrek a victory for the battle of Tafrek a victory for the rebel standard.

The party was returning from a trip to a roadhouse in Sharon and had stopped to allow a train to pass when they were acceded by the driving down E. State street. Occupants of the car claim the officer got on the running board and sticking his gun to the car driving down E. State street. Occupants of the car claim the officer got on the running board and sticking his gun to the car driving down E. State street. Gripped by fear, Hearth stepped on the gas and dashed away.

"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.

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 By Maybellie Robinson Chew 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. THOUSANDS INSIST UPON ____.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. Dodd, who has traveled with a number of musical shows, began his musical career when he was five years of age, although he has had a long and successful instruction, given him by his sister, Mrs. Naomi D. Francis, who was able to play his first overture, "A Little Waltz", at the age of ten. Mrs. Naomi D. Francis was one year old and had planned to give her younger brother a complete course in music, but circumstances prevented after she had given him seven weeks of instructions. From that time on, according to young Dodd, he acquired his musical training alone. Played White Keys At first the young pianist played on the white keys, but finally armored to study the notes, flats, trips and naturals, often falling into the book in his hand. He was during this period that Mr. Dodd says that during these years he kept right on playing and playing well, but that many difficult problems he was unable to solve while he came to him during these him periods. The career of Mr. Dodd's training and which showed his怒ness to acquire a musical training was his habit of asking questions. By the time he was fifteen years of age, he acquired a degree of music and could form well. Mr. Dodd at one time traveled with the "Smarter Set" company and Irvin C. Miller, doing a song dance act. In 1917 he joined Leon Pellgrilln's white aggregation and toured the country for one season. He has composed several numbels, including "I Know What It Means To Be Sorry," "Buzing The Reef" and "When The Sun Goes Down in America." He makes Concert Tour. Mr. Dodd has lived all his life and at present is employed as organist at St. Luke's U. A. M. E. Church. He is planning to make a concert tour in the near future.

Call VE rmon: 6016 Bathing Beauties In Uncle Tom's Cabin UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIF., Dec. (P.C.N.C.)—Mildred Boyd, who first prize in the Bathing Beauty contest at Pacific Beach, California, a year ago, has been selected by Harry Pollard, director, to dance and play the important slave girls of the St. Clare School. He recently returned from San Francisco where she played for three weeks with the "Strutin' Sam" company. Other Beauties Selected Selected at the same time as Miss Boyd, were seven other beauties Hazel Jones, Marie Padre, Essie McKinney, Dorothy Johnson, Daisy Burford, Ela Mose Johnson and Edna Cunningham. Ten Nights In A Barroom One of the most remarkable features accompanying the presentation of "Ten Nights in a Barroom," which will be shown at the Royal Theatre in London, is the fact which it has aroused amongst religious teachers all over the United States of America. It appears they agreed to forget their differences and tell the people what it did in the past; what it would continue to do in the present if the old condition of things which led to the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment remained in force. It is the same. "The picture of 'Ten Nights in a Barroom' does not preach. It tells a very fine heart interest story. And it is not a gloomy picture. There is a great deal of humor in it; a great deal of human nature at its best. There is a great deal of philosylogy, tragedy and action. Added to the above is the important fact that the most distinguished all-star colored cast obtainable has been assembled by the Colored Players Film Corporation in the presentation of its version of this wonder attraction. This company is headed by the incomparable Chas, S. Glipin and is able supported by Lawrence Chenault, Harry Henderson, Wm. Clay, Jr., Ethel Rosen, Mickey, and Baby Rosen, Mickleberry. Practically the entire personnel of the above mentioned cast appeared in this company's first release, "A Prince Races", which enjoyed phenomenal run in practically every city in America. REGENT Big Parade Coming The Regent announces that they will soon present the gigantic superproduction "The Big Parade", which tells a story of hardships and suffering during the world war. This picture, which enjoyed a prolonged and successful financial run on Broadway will no doubt attract wide attention and will be presented at popular prices. New Year's day they will screen "Waltz Dream" a film full of romance and galaety. For New Year's the screen attraction here will be the "Volga Boatman," a story of suffering in Russia. Although struggling beneath the weight of the scows, the Russian heart was always light and as he would along he would not stop-t-song. With the war came revolutions and the collar was put on the neck of Royalty. The Princess loves a poor boatman and is made to suffer by her aristocratic lover, but then the poor boatman becomes the leader of the revolutionists and many strong events like the massacre of ladies, men in evening clothes and members of Royalty at the ropes of the scows. On New Year's day the Carey will run her usual program of short subjects composed of comedies, western and newswire plays. It will be "Odysse The Law," starring Lon Chaney and Priscilla Dean will be the screen attraction. It is the story of honor among thieves and of a Chinese who believes that if a crook is given a chance to redeem his will he will prove that he can go straight. The play is full of action and thrills and shows Lon Chaney in one of his many grotesque characterizations. The play will be an interesting story will be unfurled. "She" lived thousands of years ago. Men died for her. Men fought for her. People came and went but she lived on forever. See "She" and her life will be of eternal life. It will hold you spellbound from beginning to end. DUNBAR CAREY Blacks Are Jazz Swiss Theater AMONG THEATRES Blacks Are Jazz Kings Says Swiss Theatre Papers Paris, France, (ANP)—The Negro is king in New York, he is king in Paris and now he has established himself in Geneva, where all the aristocracy hasumed upon the Charleston and the Black Bottom and of acrobatics and grimaces says Comedia, a French journal. The principal artists of the colored troupe at Geneva, "the Miss Reavis, Willie Robins, and Honey Boy Thompson. E. F. writes in the "Suisse," a French-Swiss paper of Geneva: "The Negro is king, and how quickly he has conquered the city is virtually unknown in our theatres, but already he has entered with his strange fetishes. America came, to save Europe, as everyone knows), and depicted leaving us the League and the songs of gentlemen of color. "The Negro Revue, offered at the Comedie, is a slight thing, but interpreted wildly, without restraint by a troupe whose members, I dare say, have fire in the bottom and in the heart with their warmth, their abundance, their solace to the men of Europe too cold themselves, too much given to the worship of reason. "It is not merely that the Southern Delight are pretty and illuminated, but the other plougant contrasts more pleasing than the deadly uniformity of Anglo-Saxon girls. They sing agreeably, and if not with perfect predation they are more pleasing. The Roses excel in sentimental songs and lends to her voice the tender colors of a saxophone. Willie Robbins, and Honey Boy Thompson are not only accomplished acrobatic dancers, but masters of symphony, and so to Montgomery, with his delicate sense of cadence. Cook is marvelous with his astonishing supple body, and Rustus Banks, who is not only graceful in everything he does, but aerobic to the point of defying the laws of physics. "Then there is M. F. Mores, excellent and sensitive singer with a warm and ample voice. As for Miss Miles, she is a great singer, which bowls one over, a voice of bronze, a fine sense of parody, and robust and agile legs which, when they 'black-bottom', give her body the most amusing movements, and which makes her Negroes bring us? Frenetic rhythms, not as varied as they seem (for they are based always on syncopation and contre-temps) rhythms which are always leaning toward parody, dances which return invariably to the same steps, varied only by amazing acrobatics. And one feels that in the course of these performances the body tricks has been used." "Nevertheless they give us two hours of frank and lively pleasure, the jazz of musicians adroit and spirituels and a precise and subdued touch to touch them, lets loose these tempests whose magnificent disorder is an effect of the finest art." Fox Studio Using Actors In "The Wedding Ring" HOLLYWOOD, CALIF., DEC., (P.CNB.)—Falling in line with other studios, the William Fox Casting Director, Joe Egil, has in a call with the Chipman, a bartender for ten colored actors and actresses who will be a part of the cast of "The Wedding Ring", a story that went into production Wednesday and is being directed by Roy Nell.

It is reported that Mr. Travis, in order to make faster advancement while on dry land in the Orient has purchased a handsome Packard car, which will be delivered in Frisco and shipped on the same boat with him.

(PCNB.) Texas which has more color- ed theatres than any state in the Union, has recently added two more to its list, the Washington Theatre in Houston and the New State The- atre in Dallas. The Washington recently opened in Houston, catering to pictures and musical revues. The New State loca- ted on Hall and Thomas streets, has just been completed. One thing that Adam escaped was that Eve never tainted him with the number of men who had proposed to her. BY UNCLE DUDLEY I have just returned from a meeting of the Directors of the T. O B. A. and I must say that the outlook for bigger and better attractions are good as the Managers are beginning to wake-up. I also covered Mr. Irving Miller's Brownskin Models, and it was my first time to see the show, although I had no previous experiences. I must congratulate Mr. Miller for his producing ability. I learned from the Managers that all of the Miller attractions had given them record breaking business, and we only wish that we had more Managers. Hends of the T. O. B. A. agreed to play any show that Mr. Miller organizes and give him top salary and consecutive, booking. I must give Mr. Miller credit for the business attractions, they are equipped and presented like a Broadway show, no wonder he gets the. Money. Why don't Billy King and a few other producers put out two or three attractions? the time is ripe and the bookings are out out the right kind of attractions. New Circuit I also learned that there was a new Circuit organizing, direct opposition to the T. O. B. A. I can not say much about it at this writing, but these columns will be full of it in the next few weeks. There are just so many colored theaters, and, of course, this new Circuit will have to try and take a few theaters from the O. A. circuiting Circuits, and the way the T. O. B. A. Circuit has been runned for the past two years, all the managers seemed to be well pleased and at our meeting this time the Directors agreed to even handle things in a more businesslike manner. In my opinion, the new Circuit will have a hard time framing up or forming. Of course, there are al- William Lockley, 511 N.

The world critic called Robeson the finest Negro baritone he has ever heard. "In his folk songs he was positively delightful. In Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child," and the convict song, "Water Boy," he payed to listen to. The AFRO noted last week that Robeson's spirituals most of which were arranged by his accompanist, Lawrence Brown, were the same numbers which RICHARD H. M.

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.

CARO Are The Ath Becoming P Local Club Cries Like Spe Given Victory T By Ralph Matthews The Baltimore, Athensians are fast making a bed that will eventually become too hard for them to lie in. Teams like individuals build character and reputation by their everyday acts, and if the local club does not watch out it will find itself with a reputation for poor sportmanship, squabbling for the advantage in every closely-contested game that is played in the city. The game Monday night with the Washington was a repetition of several games played here last year, when after the fans had accepted the score and had crowded down from the stands, a team seen a hilly contested game, after some dillydalling at the official table the decision was reversed and the Athensians given the victory. The local teams would rather have it played out between the teams than shrewd managers and the officials. They would rather have their games won with athletic skill than with technical The Athletians in former years did not win games by .e. methods but by .i. methods later. Those were the days when Richmond Market Armory was packed to overflowing and matters not who played were more outdressed. Crows were Athenian to the man. Now a glance over the New Albert during any contest will reveal the audience was more outdressed. It's not because the present fans are any the less loyal than those high-handed methods used in wrenching games from their opponents after the whistle has shown. It was the high-handed adherent wish that the local club would get a darn good licking. Not THOMAS, W. VA. THOMAS, W. Y., VA—Bernard Gilbert of Petrobras is home visiting his sisters and sisters.

In all athletic contests victory is the thing to be desired but better put the victor in the fight of a hard loser, swaukker and a mucker, Esketball is the only sport that Baltimore supports consistently. In local fans that makes them come up for the support, sponsible for that support. During the years they have created by clean sportsmanship, a confidence in local fans that makes them come up for the support, sponsible for a good clean game. The Athenians that Baltimore has learned to know and to love are the Athenians who fought like blazes to win, but when they were back they took a whimper. This crying like a spoit child as though someone has taken away their candy is a new wrinkle for "Baltimore's Pride" Shiloh. The victory Monday night was a high-handed up-up. The Kappas won it and when they weren't using the Athenians picked their nocks. They then tried to justify the larceny by claiming that time was up before the visitor pointed out whatstanding the old point of not understanding the fact that the whistle was not blown and but a second intervened between that score and the one they, themselves, made the gave. True, the whistle was a true second is as good as a year, but what about the whistle. The players did not hear it, the referee did not hear it, and above all the shot after that shot, that shot that heat the locals, they accepted it as defeat.

Perhaps nothing in past history in this country has ever struck segregation such a death blow as this trial. The first trial which set forth vividly before the world the sufferings of the Negro from mob violence swung the American conscience in favor of the defendants, and the right of self-defense, in the home was conclusively established. Among the other other high lights of 1926 history was the election of Dr. Mordecal Johnson.

The program will give the institution a faculty of about 120 students it now has 17. Unless relief is forthcoming the president declares, the college cannot extend its usefulness in caring for the large number of people who cannot now be accommodated. Six buildings are proposed for the first year, costing approximately $597,500. The include an admin. building for $150,000, costing around $150,000; dull room building for $70,000; boys dormitory for $100,000; central building for $100,000; building for $60,000. These buildings are deemed necessary for immediate construction. The present administration building is a temporary building, the building is intended to take the place of one destroyed by fire. At present the students get 'their meals in a long wooden structure which is both uninterrupted and safe'; the buildings are equally as badly needed. The second years' program calls for a gymnasium to be erected at a cost of approximately $75,000; teachers' cotages; $25,000. kis "A Black Woman" a Story by Rebecca Hourwich; Get in the How About Game "A Black How About the Start the New Year right by Contest.

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.

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?"

WALTER BAYNAM, 1430 Carroll street. **Woman** CA HOURWICH *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- ly fifty. A few weeks before John 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.

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 RALPH D.

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 The answer came hesitatingly. "N-N not just now Jack. I think I have some bad news Jack. I have to tell you that Jack--Jack-- that is--I am still your friend. What the dickens are you driving round your road? Something something Jauce!? No, you see Jack I kinda think she likes me a little better than she does you. We are going to the Regent to see a show and-- He stopped there when he heard the click of the re- erder and it was hung up on the other side. 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.

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.

Home Education 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.

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. Chinese Daughter-In-Law In Hawaii. In Hawaii there is a Chinese daughter-in-law, her son, W. Frank Crockett, who is 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 ```markdown ``` To You 1927 Will Be A Year Full Of Friendly Credit If You Will See- W.

They occupy a modern dwelling of unusual beauty, and the citizens whom they have recently entertained were Dr. and Mrs. Gregg of Hampton Institute. Crockett also the sister of Miesh Miden now the wife of Rudolph Flasher of New York. While here, she addressed the student body at Morgan College, which school her husband attended years ago.

Trap For Santa Catches Daddy KINGSTON, N. C.—Two children of Jerry Robbins, planning to get a glimpse of Santa Claus, when he came down the c'meney, set a steel trip in the fireplace and then waited see what St. Nick would do. Instead of Santa, Robbins awakened the household when the decide to place for Christmas and accidentally stubbed his stocking foe against the log. The trap spry and the children came to see, "but it wasn't 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. ELKS DEDICATE NEW HOME XMAS DAY The New, Elk's Home was inspected on Christmas Day.

He left the house unassisted and was found dead a few doors away. Smith thought He Had Gun Smith had made his escape but was captured during the night in the difficulty of the situation, the that the altercation had started when Jones called him a harsh name. Up to this time the men had been in the room, when he reached in his pocket as though he would produce a gun. Mrs. Smith declared because he was attempting to pacify them when Smith reached over her shoulder and stabbed the man. She was, also cut slightly on the hand. Smith is being held without bail.

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.

AVERAGE COUNTY TEACHER'S PAY IS NOW $739 Average City Teacher's Pay Is $1419 Interrace Commission Hears CITY PUPILS DOUBLE IN PAST TEN YEARS Enrollment In Counties Drops 3,000 In Same Length Of Time The average county teacher's pay in Maryland is now $99 a year, according to Information furnished the Maryland Interracial Commission, Dr. J. O. Spencer, president, by Bessie E. Nease, attendant of the State Department of Education. Ten years ago the average county teacher's pay was $119. The average city school teacher is $1412. Ten years ago the average teacher's pay was $881. In the past 10 years the statistics show that while public school attendance in Baltimore City has increased in the counties has increased only 2,000. Enrollment in county schools shows a decrease of 3,000. Enrollment in the city school has increased by 5,000. Number Of Teachers While this number of teachers in Baltimore City has jumped from 288 to 300 in number of county teachers is only from 700 to 774. Number Of Schools In 1918 there were 18 schools in Baltimore City and 34 in number of county teachers is only from 700 to 774. Salaries Differ While the average salary for colored and white teachers in Baltimore is the same, $1419 a year, the average salary of a colored teacher in the county is $749, seven times the average salary of a white teacher. The Interracial Commission has recommended that the minimum school law requires that law enforcement agencies be paid equal salaries without regard to race or sex. 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." Baltimore, Md.

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 Not only does the loss of the Holleys weaken the Bluefield defense but Leander Holley jumped center and then dropped back on guard while Jazz Brown played the floor. This leaves the team without a good jumper, at the tipoff. Brown, Suzford and Hickman form a wonderful scoring combination that will be hard for opposing teams to stop but the big problem of Coach Jefferson will be to develop a defense that will hold Wilberforce and Morgan, two of the best Collegiate quintets. Of the new men, Drew. Halston, Barbour and Carter are coming fast and will give Coach Jefferson plenty of reserve forwards. From Shep Austin, Watkins, Woods, and Jeffries and Cunningham, must be found the men who will form the Blue 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.

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 a half-dozen or more to their clerk- New Rule Beginning September, 1928, no student will be eligible for intermission for four years of college work or has a bachelor's degree.

O.'d Jack Johnson 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. Men's Suits Pressed, 25c We remodel ladies' and girls' garments to latest styles.

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. Joy Riding In Jail Life The Sheriff treated me as a disingulished guest. Every night for a week he and some friends took me for a ride to a roadhouse several miles out of Galveston, and we enjoyed fried chicken and chammy night fries ceased. Thinking the racket, published the story and a page. But the papers got on to make me more comfortable, the Sheriff promoted me to the Insane ward on the top floor. There I was associated with more or less harmless "nuts" who accepted my standing without question. In the meantime the County Judge, an upright and virtuous man, was making determined efforts to get me a nice long prison sentence. His charge to the Grand Jury was a hammer. First, he read the Texas statute against men fighting each other for a prize, or fighting a bull or other animal. Just how they classified my late opponent I don't know.

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. But actually the disparity between Walcott and me was not so great as is generally supposed Walcott's fighting weight was 147.150 pounds and it is certain he went into the ring against me with all his poundage. My weight was 161 pounds ringside. Any middleweight to-day will go into the in-heavier than that, for the weighing-in is several hours before, the contest, and fighters who have trained down take on three to six pounds after weighing. Were I fighting to-day it would not be necessary for me to resort to "drying out" measures to be a middleweight. This is the first time I have taken the trouble to explain the apparent reversal of form which resulted in my defeat by a welter-weight. It has never been my policy to offer alibis. Any fighter who battled as long and as often as I must taste defeat. I was knocked out at times, as any man would be, taking so many chances. When any two strong men face each other in the ring, anything may happen, as in the case already mentioned when Jack McCormack, an unknown, got through the supposedly perfect defense of careful Kid McCoy and knocked him cold in one round. 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. 24th Beats Alabama State COLUMBUS, GA.-Local basket- ball members of the 24th Infantry from the Y. M. C.

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.

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.

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 D-N H-A-T-S instruction, because they are it styles, and from the best ed fabrics.

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.

Bill likes dancing with our Baltimore girls best of all. He admitted it. Gms Off" Now basketball player and looker-on as well. 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 Afro-American----South's Biggest and Best Weekly Virginia Has Another Hampton In St. Paul Couling from behind in the 2nd, session after trailing by 8 points at the half, the Athens fans, with the aid of "Scrappy" Brown, who proved to be a sensation, downed the fast Atlas five, white, 35 to 34, in the New Albert Auditorium, Friday night. The Atlas crew started off as the Greeks were merely a second rate club. And in fact, the way Wright's boys played during that first half it was evident that the white team would win by a wide margin. Brotsman, Lafferman and Marks dishibbed time and again through the entire Greeks' team and caged pretty field goals. It was not until Poles, Butler, Keller and Harris were sent into the tray that the locals looked like a real aggregation. "Scrappy" Brown, played the best age game of the season, not only did he register 10 field goals for a total of 20 points, but was in every play defensively. Practically all his shots were made from near the side of the court. In the final session it was his passing and shooting that gave the Greeks their one point lead and finally the game. 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. Poles, Keller, Harris and Brown were outstanding. Unknown Win. In the playoffs, the Unknowns won a close game from the Harmony five, 11 to 29. The game was featured by the wonderful playing of "Boot" Jenkins, of the Hawkeye and Robinson of the Unknowns. By Ralph D. Matthews 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 Of Spo BY FRED B. WATSON The write 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.

For the Sporting World "26" he then just one big surprise after another. '26 Bad Luck For those who are superstitious suppose we have a statistician the figure 26? *Divided* by it equals 13—twice bad luck! At least it equals 16—too many to champion every day of sport. Even if you are not superstitious you must admit that '26 has been a Jinx to many an athlete. You must also know that he lost his title in '25 whether that number is double bad luck and quite likely he will unhastingly answer, "Yes!" Champions Aside Iceclone sweeping 'cross the plains, 1926 has swept champion after champion in every line of sport from the ice to the coast, in the presence of ex-champions. One would have to search far and wide to find even one champion in any line of sport who still retains an unshakable grip upon his 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. FIRST TEAM Va. (Va.) L. G. Tremple (Lincoln) V. Smith (Howard) L. G. Tremple (W. Va.) Rainey (Howard) L. G.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One half of the speech of "Tom" Berlin, Dem. S. senator, of the United States, in thequet—22nd, Convention National Rivers and Harbors Congress in Washington. (Horrified from Congressional Record) 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. They were carrying on a protracted meeting down at Danville before the bishop's church. The bishop said, "Some of my nieces won't be here after Christmas. 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." They said, "Uh-huh." He said, "If I had it in my power, I would 'stoy all the likker in the world." They said, "Yas." He said, "I done writ a letter to the President and ax him him to give me the key to the warehouses." "Uh-huh." "And to let me have the liker in the drug stores." "Yas." He said, "I am going to knock all the heads out of these keys and barrels and bust all them bottles and jugs: I am going to throw that likker in the river and on Christmas morning you nissers will see that river flowing red with likker. That's all I got to say. Let the cholr sling." The leader arose and said, "Let us turn to No. 242, 'Shall we Gather at the River?'" 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 it's gwine to read to-morrow he said. How you it will read?" He said, "I know how it will read." "How will it read?" "Fifty thousand French soldiers dript 'trom to death by $0- 000 nigger soldiers." (Laugh- ter.) Georgia Joe Cannon General Pershing Baltimore, Md. 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?" The man thought this a bit strange, as the Lord had already given an urgent, general and unqualified invitation—through this, same preacher. But he left the pastor's study, resolved to test the matter to the end. He therefore paid another visit to the preacher, indicating that the Lord was willing, and the white man said a little more fervently than before: "Consult the Lord a little further,—put the whole matter into the hands of the Lord,—and ask him 'whether you might not serve Him better in some other church.'" For a third time the Negro went. The pastor was chagrined, and became impatient: "My brother, you are not trusting in the Lord. I have put the matter before the Lord myself, and He has told me." "Wait a minute," said the man, attempting the white man. "Cause I done seen de Lord, too, an' he to'll me all about it." "Well, wh-what?" asked the anxious white man. ' 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!" Heard and Seen In Baltimore Br Ralph Matthews 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.

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- Saturday, Jan. 1, 1927 Killer Says SOLUTION Standing and right-minded Ne- New Year Resolution: Eighteenth Amendment and will newise.

There is no likelihood of any raci- cal departure from established existing ways during the suing year. No new or exciting reform is now in sight. Let every one perform his accustomed task with sharpened race conscious- ness and beener zest to serve the racial weal. 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.

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 Circulated 1,500 In The Circulated 1,500,000 Bibles In The Past 25 Years --- 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. Rev. M. W. D. In The Minist Rev. M. W. D.

McRary es Birthplace Of Bethlehem 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. 0,000 Bibles the Past 25 Years 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. Norman Deadtry 35 Years 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.

Mr. Berry spent eight years pursuing an education at Lutele, hence the calling for these years he had charge of the ringing of the bell in the adminis- tration building and was one of the best to hold this post in the Uni- versity. These bells marked not only the rising period at 5 o'clock every morning, but also the calling for the times and the call for the passing of the classess on every hour. Asked the other day why he pre- vented and rised the university bell, the Rev. Berry said, he had accustomed himself to regularity and the rest came easy.

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.

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.

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. They were ambitious to grasp the full meaning of Christ revealing Himself to men. 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 Such is our God as revealed by Christ.

Business Transferred To The Cen- ness To Other Negro Busi- tunity. For Northern P Agencies. 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.

Oppor- Policyholders To Have Local suffer no loss or benefits they are of the community, and invest in the education and investment 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 PLEDGE CONTRUSTED TO OUR CARE WITH ENESS, AS IF THEY WERE OUR AND ONE WHICH WE PLEDGE E H.

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. --- The Afro-American----South's Biggest and Best Weekly GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter Take Your Profits DRUID LAUNDRY W.

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. Get Enough Everybody was having a good time at 1434 Lanyale street, Sunday night when Eugene Cook of 570 Wilson street, wreaked a wrench in Mrs. Helen Washington, of the same address, heard the blizzard and took her friend bus an apartment and went up to join in. She had just gotten into the house, and she was on her return she found her pocketbook, which she had just laid down, gone with her. She was cooking, Cook who had up to that time been engaged in placing the records on the Vieira was also gone. Cook said, "that that." 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- Brooklyn In the recent reorganization of the street car and transportation companies of Brooklyn, which went into business last year, all the officers and directors who had been heavy stockholders in the beginning had disposed of almost all of their stock.

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** The time to sell is when you can do so at a profit.

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.

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.

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. There was irony even after death when Ford Dahney, who was the manager of the Gans, whom rumor says was the cause of the entanglement between him and his former wife, also was the estate as did an illegitimate daughter.

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.

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 No-day.
