The complaining deacons say they have held office during varying periods from three to ten years and have fitted out a suite of rooms or life or during good behavior. The deacons charge that the Rev. Grecoen had no authority for declaring the deacons' offices vacant. The deacons claim that their successors were elected before their successors were elected. The deacons of any kind had been brought against them either individually or collectively. **Illegal** The petitioners claim that the church's proceeding is illegal and that he aims to put himself in absolute and unqualified control of the policies and manners of the church disregarding, but not abusing, the actions they declare, is against the rush of the majority of the members of the church.

DIXIE SENATORS DEFY G. O. P. IN VOTE PROBE WASHINGTON, D. C.—Dixie senators speaking on the floor of the Senate Monday told their republican colleagues to go as far as they like to investigate alleged disfranchisement of colored voters in the south. This barrage from Dixie followed a speech from Senator David A. Reed, (Penn.) in Pittsburgh before an amendment day exercise. Senator Reed was quoted as saying, "The chief opposition against Colonel Smith, or Illinois, comes from the democratic south but we all know that down there, scarcely more than five per cent of the population is permitted to vote." "Much is heard from democratic headquarters," Senator Reed continued "from theocratic south over wars in Philadelphia, but in Texas there were 12 counties in which the polls were not even open. If some of the southern senators mankinds attack or Smith, Republicans have a lot to tell them." Senator Caraway, (Dem. Ark.)-replying to this said, "I'm not a scrutch on the statute book to limit the franchise. Every colored man has the right to vote if he wants to." He colored people in Texas would vote if they would get paid for doing so as in Philadelphia. Caraway said it was strange that the south was threatened with the disfranchisement not because it was wrong but as a means of keeping them in Illinois and Pennsylvania. He quoted Senator Moses, of New Hampton as saying that you can't get colored people to vote unless you He said there was no market for the Negro vote in the south and that is the reason they do not vote. He said, "I am serving notice now that republicans must get ready to do what ever they are going to do to the south, because we are going through with the slush fund probe, Texas) backed up Caraway by saying that if colored people do not vote in Texas at the general election it is because they do not want to vote and not because of their election. There are 12 counties in the state at which the polls were not open, he said, they were sparsely populated counties located in the far western portion of the state and not five per cent of the voters in the counties are colored. BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1927 33 Lynched In '26 Include 2 Women,3 Whites,1 Indian Florida Leads With 8; Texas, 5; And Mississippi, 4. N. A. A. C. P. Lays Increase To Senate's Failure To Act NEW YORK.—The National Association for the welfare of the People reports 33 recorded lynchings in the United States for the year as against 13 last year. Florida leads the Lynchings State for the year and against 13 last year. Florida leads the Lynchings State for the year and against 13 last year. Mississippi third with 4. The other States having recorded lynchings are as follows: Arkansas, South Carolina, Texas, New Mexico, Indiana and Tennessee, 2 each; Kentucky, New Mexico and Virginia, 1 each. Of the victims of lynchings mobs the United States joined Indian and among the victims were two colored women, one of them lynched at Alken, South Carolina, and the other victims had been ordered acquitted by the presiding judge at his trial, one in Texas was shot by white officers while men broke, and among the alleged offences of the victims were: entering the room of a white woman; murder; and three Negroes who were in the room for crime with which they had no direct connect- ion. A statement issued by James Weldon Johnson; Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, lays the importance of the United States S site to take action on a federal anti-lynch bill. Mr. Johnson's statement says that the United States can enable explanation of the increase from 18 lynchings in 1925 to 33 in 1826. While there was threat on a federal action of federal courts over this crime, the lynchers hesitated. When the United States Senate refused even a DUI bill, that was equated to serving notice on the lynchers that they could pursue their pastime virtually unnoticed. So far no lynchings, and that Georgia has been visited by punishment at the hands of the law. The United States Senate refuses to discuss the DUI bill because of the obstructionist tacts of a small group of Senators from the lynchings." CONGRESS STILL TIED UP ON H. U. FUNDS WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Senate and House are still tied up on the question of the $368,000 appropriation for Howard University. The appropriation was struck out entirely in the House and $150,000 for the new girls' dormitory was struck in the Senate. The bill then went to conference. Members of the House conference committee are Louis C. Crampton, Frank Murphy and Edward T. Taylor. Members of the Senate committee are Reed, Smoot, Charles Curtls and William W. With the committee met on Monday they agreed on all other items except Number 37 which was Howard University, which went over for approval. Tuesday the House voted the whole appropriation for Howard, including the derivation. This practically ends the slubber. A statement issued by James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Women in lynchings to the failure of the United States S. ate to take action on a federal anti-lynching bill in 1855, one of the most consequent jurisdiction of federal courts over this crime, the lynchers hesitated. When the United States Senate refused even to discuss the bill, it was equivalent to serving notice on the lynchers that they could pursue their pastime virtually unmolested. "So far only one lynching, and the lynchers have been visited by punishment at the hands of the law. The United States Senate refuses to discuss the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, because of its tactical nature of its official group of Senators from the Lynching States."

C. — Sworn statement that the Holmes farm at Wilberforce, Ohio, thought to be owned by Bishop Joshua A. Jones is really the property of the university, was made by William A. Joyner, 910 street street, former principal of Wilberforce State Normal department. The affidavit was given to Sheridan A. Brusseaux, head of a Chicago detective agency, who was employed by university to probe the affairs of the university. Brusseaux was in town a few hours yesterday but returned suddenly to Columbus, Ohio to appear before Brown, who is taking testimony. Originally the detective planned also to visit Baltimore and New York, where he has been padded at the university, that coal has been purchased out of school funds and delivered to homes of the members of the trustee board, a plane was purchased, and a residence was built similarly to the home of the superintendent and other irregularities. Brusseaux recalls that the state legislature resolved a resolution providing for a reorganization of the school but it was vetoed by former Governor Cox. The governor promised a committee of investigation to be headed by the state investigator. This investigation, however, fell through. Want Woodson For WASHINGTON, D. C.-A. delegation headed by Dr. J.

Supreme Court Ban Asked On "White Primary" Laws Of Southern Democrats National Association Makes Test Case Of Texas Law Barring Them From Democratic Primaries Saturday, Jan. 8, 1927 WASH, D. C.-Attorney retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the 1972 Supreme Court, argued before the Supreme Court that the Texas "White primary" law, enacted May, 1923, barring Negroes from primaries of the State, as unconstitutional, urging that the Texas law was a violation of the 15th Amendment to the Constitution and the United States statutes. The case before the Supreme Court arose out of an action brought in the Texas courts by Dr. L. A. Nixon, a Democrat with poll tax receipt and entitled to vote in Precinct Number 9 of El Paso County, was on July 26, 1923, barring Negroes on primaries in partnership with the contested Texas law of 1923. The Judge and Associate Judge of elections is that district, Messrs. C. C. Henderson and Dr. Nixon continuing that they had declined to permit him to vote. Dr. Nikon in this test case, financed by the National Association for the Advancement of Cobed People, channeled the vote of the people. The case has come to the Supreme Court on appeal from the Federal District Court for the Western district court. The Law The text of the contested Texas law is as follows: All qualified voters under the state of Texas are institution of the state of Texas who are born side members of the Democratic party shall be eligible to participate in an election, provided such voter complies with all laws and rules governing party primary election, in such as Negro vote in a Democratic party primary election in the State of Texas, and in any party nominated in the Democratic party primary election, such ballot shall be void and election officials are herein directed to throw out such ballot and not count the Primaries Recognized by Law Fred C. Knollumberg, of El Paso, retained by the N.A.D. in favor of the Republican for Coloree in behalf of Dr. Nixon, argued that as Democratic party primary elections in Texas are recognized and regulated by the U.S. Constitution, a ballot election is an act within the meaning of the 2dth Amendment; and the immunity against discrimination on acin that amendment, process the Negro in his right to vote in such Primary Only Election Mr. Knollenberg's brief further "The Democratic party primary in Texas is the only real election in that state. November is going more than a formal ratification of the results of the Democratic primary. The same is true to a greater extent in the number of other States. If such an enactment under such conditions be valid, 'government of the people' would be the people; was an idle dream, and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States were what they were."

Bal is, VIHERE is an undeniable truth that might be applied to printed ty re) advertising. Advertising to have any real value must first - erst) be READ : NO matter how attractive the colors in your out-door sign-board, your lithograph posters and billboards, show cards, circulars, or car signs, they will not amount to the proverbial “tinker’s dam” unless they are READ. 1 NOW then—pick out any of the above mentioned modes of advertis- ing and see if you can find one that is read when the reader is ina “veading” attitude- : YOU catch a fleeting glimpse of the out-door sign board as you speed by on train or bus, or from your own car. + AS you return from work of an evening or while waiting for a street ear you casually glance at a'show card in the corner grocery or maybe you look up at 2 street car ad long enough to read one or two of them directly in your line of vision. The time worn and antiquated method of advertising by “circulars” is another sample of how the buyer is so- licited when he is not in the reading attitude. Hundreds of such circu- lars are thrown in the sewer by. unserupulous distributors, while hun- dreds mote are swept into the street from the vestibules by the busy housewife without so much as fleeting glance. But WHEN 2 man or woman pays 6 cents, 7 cents or 10 cents for a newspa- per can you imagine him throwing it down the sewer before he reads it or making a furnace fire with it before his wife has had a chance to read the society news, woman’s page, local news, etc. WHEN your message, Mr. Advertiser, goes to the buyer through the medium of a newspaper it is an undeniable fact that you send it to him to read when he is in the mood for reading or as we have termed it— the “Reading” Attitude. ONE doesn’t ordinarily pick ‘up a newspaper to look at the pictures, or to ecan it hastily for the racing results, or an atrocious murder or soci- ety scandal, although these items are of great news value. One usually picks up a newspaper to read it for the wonderful assortment of gene- yal and valuable information it gives on a wide range of subjects, and when he reads it he is almost invariably in a reading attitude.

Holmes, prominent physician, here, when ground will be broken in the east end for the erection of a theatre. Although a vast sum is required for the deal, only two thousand dollars is now needed to complete the taking over of the properties negotiated for. Beside the main building which will have the seating capacity of 1,000 people will be house-home for actresses, called the "Ada Overton-Florence Mills Home". It will contain a club room for men and afford an ideal place for theatrical training. Mr. John T. Gibson, the principal of Philadelphia, who owns and operates the Standard and Gibson theatres is reported interested in the project. Parisians are raving about Josephine Baker, the bright star of the Folles Bergere and former member of the "Folles Bergere" troupe. Honage paid to Miss Baker seems to be greater than that to any other of the stars who have invaded Paris. Pistachio was made and in the streets, and her picture adorns the walls in thousands of homes. SCRATCH THE S Write, ph THE JAZZ SHOP 1544 Penna.

The Afro-American----South's Biggest and Best Weekly BLACK AND TAN CAFES IN CHICAGO RAIDED Theatrical, Musical And Social Bits Of New York (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, ILL., Jan. 6.—Two black and tan cabarets were raled early Sunday morning by police who found more than 500 men and women making merry. The guests were not molested, but a score of men, including the waiters, managers, were held. The cafes called were the Sunset and the Plantation. The police have been making numerous raids in the South Side, where these cafes are located, recently. The police charge that heavy drinking and much merry making was in hilarious progress when they raided the places. Twenty gallons of liquor were confiscated and a quantity of counterfeit revenue stamps were found in a nearby building where the waiters could have obtained the liquor for their patrons. Johnnie Middleton, 25, musician, died while enroute with the Fashion Plate Minstrels in the South. He had been a trouper since 1919 and appeared with Harvey Minsertls, W. L.

AT OUR REGULAR PRICES Melvern Marries 35 PEOPLE By Cleveland Allen NEW YORK—Miss Minnie Binkie, the soprano soloist in the choir of St. John's X. E. Church, is a noted singer. She was born in Spokane, Wash., and for several years traveled with the Williams & Walker Company, where she gained fame as a soloist, and where she won special recognition for her special role. Miss Brown has a voice of remarkable beauty, and noted for its clarity of tones, which she uses with rare intelligence and charm of manner. Her voice never breaks and can be heard in a quiet, controlled count. For several years she sang for The Board of Education here where she interpreted the Negro spirituals, and, in which she is without an equal. Her singing is disingenuous and often in the form of interpretation calls for a great deal of praise. She resides at 165 W. 136th street. "Saturday Nighters" WASH, D.

Page Ten TUTT WHITNEY TELLS HOW HE GOT HIS NAME Salem Tutt Whitney writes in to wish us health, wealth and happiness for the New Year. He says, "I am feeling fine and will be able to get about soon." Along with the letter was an article explaining how Salem's last name is Whitney and Homer's Tutt, whining that he would be able to explain. According to Mr. Whitney's explanation, when he first started out with Puggsley Brothers, Louis, manager of the company, could never have Saul Tutt so old him he would. Id Whitney to his last name, which he could easily remember, as it was the name of a very famous white concert bass, Myron W. Whitney. A few years later when playing at Orlando, two theaters were side by side and Mr. Whitney was billed at one with his company as "Whitney" and next door was Salem at the head of another company. Salem then him how he happened to be named for him, and they had a big laugh. Salem is still confined to his apartment at 666 St. Nicholas ave. apartment 61. His volume of poems "Mellow Musings" are being widely praised by critics and poetry lovers. STAR John Berringer and the Berringer family are at the head of the "Black Cat Bone" Company, now playing the Star Theatre. Berringer has a might nice trick here, and has had it copyrighted. Berringer handles the comedy he created and made a laugh especially when he bawls out the members of the orchestra, and slides into a song about the "Bootleggers" Association. Nearly every words ends with T-I-O-N, and the way it sells is a first class recommendation for this comedian. Princess Ella Berringer has the qualities necessary to make a successful comedian. He is a hard-working Hannah' air, sells her songs to quick buyers: "Wee" Johnnie Mae Berringer, who is just 5 years old teams with Claire May Crummons in a nifty song and dance skit. But it is the dancing of the kid that the publics. Louise Gillard and Anna Belle Dodge help with the dancing and serve as a background. Herbert Griffin, juvenile lead and Albert Williams, (Frenchy), in character roles, equal anything seen here lately. Instead of bringing in a bunch of tacky girls, Berringer slipped in with only a few but made that few pleasing to the eye on Drake is at the ivories while George Beman handles the trombone.

It is a combination of modern romantic drama with situations implausible enough to border on farce, while prominent in the story is a pompous Chinese bandit who introduces a character who introduces an element suggestive of extravaganza or musical comedy. The comedy element however predominates with romance, handwriting, fashion and somewhat whimsical such as a chimpanzee. Altogether, while decidedly improbable and not intended to be taken seriously it contains a number of amusing situations and will probably prove pleasing entertainment. Eve, the heroine, is the daughter of the captain of a freight ship Notwithstanding his efforts to the contrary which include dressing her in boys clothes, Eve proves very well that she is a Chinese port she spies Bob and sets her cap for him but he kills her thinking she is a boy. Through a ruse she shanghais him and Chinese bandits swarm aboard the ship.

Kenton, featuring Marie Provost. The story starts out like a straight drama; almost imperceptibly the light comedy touches to creep in at the end, and there is marked subtlety at times in the handling of the slender plot. Dick and Kay are happily married. Dick's college chum, Dick, a lawyer, has moved home to dinner, Kay, pliqued at Dick follows his suggestion to be very nice to Jack, so well that Jack falls in love with her. When Kay goes out of town Jack finally returns home to dinner, a destructive girl. Dick however falls for Jack's lady friend and cuts him out. Jack then devotes his attention to Dick's wife.

ROYAL "Lost At Sea" There are certain situations in "Lost At Sea" that completely fooled the audience and which held them in a breathless suspense. There is no halting in the telling of the story and keeping up the drama. The book beaks highly for the director of this powerful drama. It would be unfair to unfold the plot of the story, for there is a surprise upon which the dramatic value of the picture hinges. Suffice to say that it is done with dignity, believing she is a widow again meets her old love. What happens after that brings the picture to an exciting and dramatic close. No better cast has been assembled for any picture shown here than appears in "Lost At Seat." Jane Novak excels all previous drama roles and wife of the woman and mother, while Huntly Gordon as the lover and Lowell Sherman as the husband, make their characterizations actually live. The little boy in the picture, Billy Kent Schaefer is far superior to the young girl in the picture, have appeared on the screen, and he played his part so realistically that there was many a moist eye in the audience. Others in the case were Natalie Kingston whose ravishing beauty was so compelling, William R. Walling and not forgetting Buddy, the dog. The picture was more than alyd directed by Louis J. Gasnier. "Lost At Seat" was suggested by the Louis Joseph Vance story "The Mainspring," a real enchantment don't miss seeing "Lost At Seat." It will be at the Royal Theatre.

The girl learned that a similar fate waited her but with the aid of another crook and they eluded the other crook and hid away in an apartment. Gradually there came to them realization of their love for each other and the determination to retreat. The other jewelers located their hiding place but they again eluded him and after a fierce battle with this crook's henchman and the police the unrepeated crook was killed and in accordance with the pact made with the girl and her sweet-heart were freed under the return of the jewels. While from a technical standpoint this picture suffers by comparison with the best modern production and is lacking in smoothness, it is an excellently constructed, exquisite drama.

Built upon a good idea that is well worked out so that there is unusually well-sustained suspense and fortified by thoroughly capable characters on part of the principal characters, it certain successes in holding the interest at high pitch.

Politics One of the most important factors in public education is the school principal.

After the proceedings a long negotiation with the High School Charges Are Rot along with this a photograph of the principal appeared. We can thank the pro- gressors, and we can thank the newspaper for their loyalty. They are friends of the learned Mr. Hawkins, and by the way, the same men who pulled the deal in 1821, own the newspaper along with Mr. Hawkins. Social Consideration It seems to us that Mr. Hawkins ought to look to the administration in the conduct of his office rather than in the administration. The trouble is apparently that our High School is organized upon political and social considerations and Mr. Hawkins will never administer the affairs of our million dollars. He can get out of his hands. He can not get before a public gathering and say that any teacher he doesn't want in the High School should be removed. He can threaten teachers that 99 per cent of his recommendations become the recommendations of the Superintendent. He cannot say that a teacher is making a mistake. If he has to do is to sign the dotted line. Community Another great responsibility of the legislator is to ensure that the community at large, and most especially the parents, the present and the future, will be satisfied with the parents' should mean.

His dictatorial attitude caused Mrs. Lillian Lottier to resign as president. Parent-Teacher Club At a meeting of the High School Parent-Teacher Club last year the president reported the program for the year which called on parents to give their set, and a large portfolio of Frederick Douglass. Dues were fixed at 50 cents per capita a year. This year the program calls for a $10,000 pipe organ, the common item of its last meeting, the resource. The legacy was worth $1.50. Jubilee Singers At a recent meeting of the Parent-Teacher Club, when each student had been provided with a directive to locate the teachers for conferences, after the main address by the Superintendent, the Principal was called to the WBLA station, left orders with the Vice-Principal to allow parents and teachers to to hold the audience in order that the Jubilee Singers might be heard in person. Many parents being doing loose to loose to loose failed to see the teachers of their children and consequently became disgusted. Mr. Hawkins is certainly not helpless in not neglecting his job and sings over the radio for a paltry TWO DOLLARS. The principal should not seek assistance in his personal advantage and advancement yet isn't that what Mr. Hawkins is doing when he lambors in the West Last Always?" 7 Cooperation The success of the principal will depend upon his ability to interest the community in the progress of his school. This can only be accomplished by the presence of obedience and the facilities at his disposal. He must keep contacts with the community. He must think of the school as a co-operative place where parents and parents are engaged in attaining certain desirable ends for their children. Mr. Hawkins has not done this after all these years. The remedy is the voluntary or involuntary negotiation of Mr. Mason A. Hawkins. THE ROYAL Ten Nights In The Barroom at Royal.

The acting of Charles Gilpin was to appear the real titself. He was the drunkard who after losing his mills to his scheming bugger, but was reformed by the death of his only child, who was killed by an empty beer glass, the sabouin, which had turned the peaceful village of Cedervite into a den of nuisance. The titself girl, who appeared to be about twelve years old, acted her part well. Arild Mickey and a one-eyed lover added a note Oscar Michaux is to be congratulated for his work in this film company. Anyone who watches it takes to produce a play will realize the struggle he must be having working independently of the great film companies that own the business. But what he seems to have a desire to teach a lesson in all his plays, and he truly shows the evil of drink in this play. A picture he wants to enjoy the picture alonsoy night. Sammy Lewis, whom I have labelled "Sophisticated Sammy," because of his bourne wounds, will be watching a wine after the picture. He has a female impersonator who surely is perfect. There was also another beautiful woman, who he failed to be funny when blacked up and really made a charming woman. Sammy and all of the chorus did something, and Aunt-Jemma the title actor of the play, herulesued their dances. King Swazey tooted as only he can and the band played all kinds of jazz. The chorus and snappy and fairly good-looking. When I say that the Regent is offering the Charmed Man, the show is still further curtailed but still good.

Mrs. Jabawu was only one of aussey who complained to me about the ridiculous Mrs. Tanga Jabawu. Mrs. Jabawu was a woman. Her home was a little larger than the average vondelovied occupied by natives, but it was one room with a window, washed, mud-and-plaster, chinch roof, but nested among the well-built roomy homes of elephants, window casings were features unknown to most native huts; but did the old house have a curtain, a kitchenette, a desk with drawers at either end, a typewriter, and a general air On a crudo wooden chair, the light from the window streaming in on her eager, mobile face, Mrs. Jabau sat, smiling, her tongue persevered, she wished me to speak.

"My husband edits a Xosa-English weekly which has a woman's commitment to mean something to native women as well as native men. All the months that I studied it was fitness to conduct that department I had in mind." "Our population must prepare themselves for themselves, women remain unprepared they will drag the men and the race to their level, for no race is higher than that of men. You cannot imagine, you cannot conceive the subjection of our women. It is not that even women should be housed to housekeeping. It is not that they have no financial independence. These are ill common experience of our women are slaves, with no control over their children, their homes or their bodies. They must bow to the women, the increase of industrial life, greater educational opportunities have widened the nation, the kralk. Our women have not kept pace with the change, but they shall. We women must help our women. Time passed and Mrs. Jabavah went in a spell; behind her hovered the ghosts of millions of women. Mrs. Jabavu had not traditions of individual thought, activity, or independence for the women, but for the black women in history. Rather, she could look back upon centuries of unbroken bondage. She had neither cooperation nor encouragement for other races, for the blazing of a trail is lonesane work. Yet she holds to her the vision of free black women.

Doctors And Dentists Prosperous Another Illusion shattered was that a dozen Negroes reputed as the one that Negroes stand together in order to be the most prosperous. They were most op-pressed. My observation was that in such cases the tendency was to be the other way. In the North and generally without whites and blame conditions on the own people. The militant ones usually leave. On the other hand, in some places, the more the better. In the South, it was almost Northern, I found the so-called Negro, in spite of individual differences, standing together for their common good, as in Purnham, N. C., and to a pretty good extent in Louisville, Ky., while in Knoxville, Tenn., where the so-called color line is also much frayed, I found dissension, although the individuals when met personally were in a very low position. The pardons were in black, the colored section begins, while the colored section begins, while in Knoxville, Winston-Stem and The whites in Knoxville are a war with one another and so that communicated itself to the Negroes who, here and there are usually the sole holders of land, is they are subject to the same economic system, and economic systems, not color or hair, determining the spatial column determines the shape and movements of the body. The Negro is, in reality, just a poorer white man. The difference is that the so-called Negro said, the so-called Negro has been thoroughly assimilated mentally. Patronage Hence, since Negro business is departmental already on Negro putonage, it is trilling in the South where one would expect most of it. I came across more than a dozillion living insurance companies, several banks, some of which would be a credit anywhere, but clothing stores, restaurants, groceries, wore almost all white. In short, the only Negro fields in which there was no white competition, such as barber and beauty shops and undertaking par- I visited more than thirty towns and found only two restaurants worthy of the name—a very good one, the Michael's Building in Nashville and another, Coleman's, at Durham. White Restaurants I heard of a white restaurant whose menu read something like this: "Soup 10 cents, Hamburger 20 cents," and underneath: "Prepared with potatoes, potatoes, precisely how I felt after each dose of Southern cooking. Of course, there were also the hamb-houses of the ubiquitous Greek, with the sign "Hamburger with Negroes, but I avoided these like the plague, choosing rather the dyspepsia of the descendants of Negroes. The most thriving business town I saw was Louisville—the four-colored theatres were run by Negroes. There is no jim-crow car in Louisville. In the Michael's building Michael led. Durgers and Dentists." The doctors and dentists seemed better off than those in the other hospital, and I visited dozens of them, seening on the whole, better equipped. Some of them had much white practice, and in social diseases almost the most common in the city served in "The Fire in the Flint". While sitting in one doctor's office I counted seven white men who entered in less than an hour. Homes Housing: Some of the homes I visited in Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham, and the eight, Chattanooga, and elsewhere were palatial and reflected a high artistic development. I met more Poultry Care Proper housing conditions are very essential to good egg production. The layer must be protected from the rain and should be covered in the weather in order that the largest possible percentage of the feed consumed will be available to form eggs, and the required for the production of body fat. The house should be tightly constructed on all sides, with open space on the front which should not interfere with the view of the front of the house, for the shed roof type. The house should be sufficiently deep to prevent drifts from the open space striking the roof. The house should face south or southeast, in order to get the benefit of the greatest possible amount of sunlight. It should be located if possible where it is naturally protected by a hill, woods or buildings on the north and west. Such arrangement and location give the production of eggs in winter. A concrete floor is very satisfactory, provided it is properly constructed. A properly constructed concrete floor is permanent, rat-proof, dry, and easily cleaned. Bare concrete floors often cause swollen feet (known as bumblefoot) from brushes sustained by the birds in jumping off roosts, nests, etc. A concrete floor, therefore, should be kept covered with straw to a depth of several inches. Roosts placed on a level with each other, rather than in a sloping fashion, will prevent all the birds trying to crowd on a few of the higher ones. A dropping board should be provided, as it affords a means of removing much manure without cleaning the entire house. A dropping board also serves to make a more sanitary house, it cleaned often, and helps make warmer roosting quarters in cold weather. The house should not be overcrowded. Light breeds, such as Leghorns, should have an allowance of not less than three and one-half square feet of floor space per bird, while the heavier breeds should be allowed four square feet per bird. Thus, a house 20 by 30 feet in size can properly accommodate not more than 100 hens of the heavier breeds nor more than 120 of the lighter breeds.

The majority of the housing, however, was inferior to the North and generally without running water, and most present were without electricity. I took this percentage from a comprehensive survey in book form, H. D. Form, "The Negroes in the South," the title and up-to-date colored librarian. The names of most of the poorer Negroes are the "shot-gun" type, that is one long room where the sex, eat, sleep and have their being indiscriminate. They usually end where the colored section begins, while streets of the poor are water-ruts, Wilmington, N. C. Wilmington, and richest country on earth, nevertheless there is a type of Negro in the South, usually as the whites in Europe. And they are hard-working people, Booker T. W. Washington went to Eupolis, Down. He could very profitably have begun under his own nose. Education: This is progressing rapidly in some places, but by and large it is inferior to the North. The South, inferior in wealth, sadder in culture, less advanced in school systems, two sets of teachers, etc., when in many instances it can't afford one decent one. Hence, the weaker sufferer. There are many books that go on to help us, as in Atlanta, Norfolk and Birmingham. The colored teachers invariably get less pay for the same work and the same hours, with the exception of the teacher who goes inferior service. Good teachers and I met quite a few, usually remain at a sacrifice, or because of financial difficulties. Books Teach The text-books used for both so-called races are the same, with the result that the young Negro is, to the extent that the white man thinks against himself. Some of these books have the antiquated stuff about "Aryans"; others teach that mulattoes are superior to Caucasians. On the front cover of text-books given to students in Atlanta is a full-length picture of Robert E. Lee, justifying his drawing on behalf of slavery, with the words: "Trusting in Almighty God, an Continued on Colley 8." approving conscience, and the aid of my native State, in whose behalf alone will I ever draw my sword." Can't Forget Defeat The South has never forgotten to do the work. The State schools, as the Tennessee State Normal, A. and T. College of Greensboro, and the North Carolina College for Negroes, were of great importance, type, with large building programs. The colored colleges, supported by private funds, seem, generally, to be having a Lard time. White philanthropy for the literary education of Negroes, are giving less now with the fabulous tales of Negro wealth. Pisk In Bad Shape. The buildings at Fisk University, that splendid old institution, are in need of a new master, Dr. Thomas E. Jones, an extraordinarily fine young man, is having no easy task. Maintained only by Negroes, like Roger Williams and Morris, seem to be having a hard time. Places like these are doing a highly necessary work—all students for many reasons cannot come to the State without liberal support than at present. Those preceding us had to make sacrifices for us, and since the time he graduated, he gave youth a square deal, even though his parents are already taxed for his education, we will have to dig again. in our pockets to help. Thrill At Tuskegee Tuskegee: I have seen many of the noted spots on the earth, big Tuskegee, great thrill.

The atmosphere, educationally, is a liberal one, and I am a very admiring man. When I expressed my admiration, omitting Washington's name, he was prompt to introduce it, and to give him all the information. The Veterans' Hospital: Another Veterans' Hospital, under command of Colonel Ward, assisted by some of the oldest surgeons and psychiatrists, the latter. I must make especial mention of Dr. Geo. S. Moore, formerly of Meharrry, who is a master in his line, the able assistant, Berker. I visited the hospital three times noticing the mentality of the staff of rehabilitation that was going on among the mentally sick veterans. I was impressed by the skill of general good nature among the inmates, which made me deduct that they were being treated. ing well treated. The food served was of very best quality; and the grounds and building kept in regular army style. Most of the staff are Northern, and to some with whom I talked the one drop of bitterness was at being in the South. The hospital has a fine library, begun and conducted by Mrs. Sadie Peterson, formerly of the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library, who is much beloved by the inmates and staff. No Dry Spots in Dixie Prohibition: It is difficult to restrain a snicker whenever I come upon the phrase "dry South". It is about as dry as the area in which the Ancient Mariner found himself. Go into any town and ask anyone where liquor is to be had, and you will hear of a dozen different places. But one single place I heard of that it was difficult to get liquor in and that was Oakdale, Ky. One morning in Durham, N. C., the first fourteen cases in court were drunk-eness, thirteen of which were Ne-groes. I am convinced that there is only one way to rid the United States of the flood of booze, and that is for Christ to return and turn wine back to water.

Punishment For Those Who Tricked@n's dying request to have the gun Punishment For Those Who Tried To Escape - Hidden Gun Is Turned In By P prisoner Who Was Promised Bard But Didn't Get In Immediately after the state police arrived on that fateful Sunday evening they subdued the crowd, locked them all in and locked Gypsy Bob. Perry and the known third member, a young foolish upstart who was being loved in the footsteps of older but mis-guided criminals, were placed in solitary confinement in the "bulldog" where they were continually tortured. The officials in charge decreed that they should be flogged and the next morning the "barrel" was placed in operation. Fifty lashes each were administered to the bulldog as the bulldog pleading or mercy. Perry, cool and calm as his make-up took his without a whimper. The way that man underwent punishment became the official and the wonders of all. Knowing that they were to receive the same punishment each day for an indefinite period Gypsy Boss had in his cell by butting his head against the rion rivets. He succeeded only in inflicting serious pain and the threat of death in his cell by butting his head against the rion rivets. He succeeded only in inflicting serious pain and the threat of death in his cell by butting his head against the lashes for a few days but in the end he received ten additional ones, the others receiving one-hundred and fifty lashes, and he received one-hundred and sixty. Perry maintained his degree of coolness throughout and the only audible sound he evoked was a threat to kill an additional official for every lash that was administered. Just before the Warden's death Bill, of whom we have referred above, before, played another spectacular one that would appear strange even in a sensational novel by a famous fictionalist. The day of the riot Gypsy Boss kept calling for the gun that apparently was supposed to be there. Some thought that such a threat was merely gusto but the officials including the Warden felt that there really was a gun in the prison and some of the hard-bolled guys who resented the wholesale killers would have readily participated in a jail-delivery, were in sympathy with the War- Few Know That Poet Robert B What We C MENU BREAKFAST Fruit Cocktails Fish Cakes Chill Sauce Bread Rolls Coffee LUNCHEON OR SUPPER Cold Sliced Tongue Rolls Ginger Ale Raised Cake Fruit Jelly DINNER Few Know That Great English Poet Robert Browning Was What We Call "Colored" Mushroom Soup Finger Rolls Celery Salted Nuts Olives Radishes Oranberry Jelly Roast Capon Chestnut Dressing Glaced Sweet Potatoes Fresh Green Peas Pear Salad Olive Strawberries Orange Green Sherbet Megogona Have ready two cups of light bread dough and two cups of brown sugar and add two lightly beaten eggs, two teaspoonfuls of flour, and two teaspoonfuls of baking soda.

Home Education FREEDOM THROUGH OBEDIENCE FREEDOM THROUGH OBEDIENCE NELIA GARDNER WHITE Earliest childhood is none too soon for us to start building for our children's later freedom. It is necessary, is our responsibility, to the ordinary demands of living, necessary that this obedience be automatic as mature years come, that the mind may be free to grow, mature and develop, not gained early, it daily seems more difficult for the mother to secure and the child to attach. One of the best reasons for obedience is the expectation of obedience, and this is one of the easiest habits to form. Coming in from play, going, being cared for, washing hands, giving up playthings to others—isn't it true that most people expect children to find these things disagreeable? Do objects to them rather than to give a prompt, obedient response? Don't mothers, unconsciously perhaps, prepare to meet our children, the greatest object to them rather than to give a prompt, obedient response? Don't they often begin to coax before the children have refused to do what they desire? An expectation that a thing will be persevered is long way toward the performance. And then there is the "don't" mather. Instead of "John, please come in," she says, "John, I don't think I'd stay here." And then we learn the inevitable difference whether or not we make our commands positive. Do we think, before we give a command, that we want something just because were older and in a *p*-sition to order? Probably over half the commands we give are not in a *p*-sition to order, neither because they weren't necessary or because we don't see that they are obeyed, once given. They are often occasions when we become annoyed by the command "Don't do that, and In this connection Bill became the intermediary, not because he was the gunman, but because he could best use his head in an emergency. Without making any attempt to turn against his pals but because he could best use his head in an emergency. Without making any attempt to turn against the bedside of the Warden and talked terms. He was willing to aid in having the gun turned in and no one was hurt there, but one of the contrary that someone should receive "consideration" for so doing. He went to the Warden and the boys who were in the know of the gun. Concession by concession he gained until an absolute promise was made, supposed Governor, that the man that turned in the gun would receive his freedom, especially after Bill had been fired. He would turn his crowd would be the one to turn the gun in but on the contrary some inmate whom no objections could be made for clemency shown him. A world war veteran was chosen, who was then crippled, but who had ten years to serve. The proposition the gun was unearthed, taken to pieces and planted on the world war veteran in sections with in-depth deputy's office and to whomever he found there pass the gun, piece by piece to him. This cripple struggled into the department's seated police official was seated. The cripple sat down opposite him with a desk intervening. He asked the official if he knew why he was there and what he did. He pulled the gun out piece by piece and passed it under the desk. Thus the gun was turned in before the Warden died and my conquest in the Woman was much that if he had lived I know the poor cripple would be a free man today as it transpired, however, the poor lawman transferred to another prison where he remains today while the state police official moved up the ladder of fame and won for himself a new additional爵位 and much additional money and prestice. Perhaps the one who today feels the most humility and sadness over the affair is Bill himself and to the person who double-raised him I wouldn't offer much space should Bill get loose to face him. at Great English Browning Was all "Colored" By (The Hamill League) English poet next to Shakespeare, was a man of African descent. His maternal grandmother was a black skinned woman of the time and she was measured and her picture thrust into life. That he had Negro blood was the direct cause of his elopment with Elizabeth Barret his wife of the famous women novelist, George Elliot, introduced Browning into the Barret home. But Elizabeth's father found that Browning was a Negro, he forbade his daughter ever to permit him to enter their home again. Instead, but was difficult for the reason that Elizabeth Barret was an invalid. However at the opportunity moment Browning went to her home and her away. She received her health. The father never forgave. Some years after a son was born and when he thinned that the sight of the child might make the father forgive, took him to her first home and let him door and when he saw the child and recognized Elizabeth at the gate, slammed the door upon the baby. It was then that Browning and his wife Only one American book of which we know mentions Browning's Negro novel, *The Black Prince*, by Charles Dudley Warner. Dr. Furnival, the 'biographer of Browning, the first founder of a Browning poet, is the author of the above facts. "Don't do that!" until half the joy is squeezed out of the play. And the noise or the laughter or the argument may have been perfectly legitimate to childhood and not in the least wang or shout. Our voices loud and argumentative or quiet and assured of equally quiet responses when we speak! Haven't you seen, time and time again another grow angry because child has been quietly offended by herself had used for reproof? Yes, it does sound different when on the lips children cry because they are offended by the child. Whatsoever offended to demand of the children let us also demand of ourselves! Above all, let us be patient. Ten minutes of patience is worth ten hours of learning. Children at all but children; do not be surprised if they make mistakes. Even in our maturity, we make mistakes, we've had to learn. An耿 does not grow in a day. The perfect freedom may come very slowly but it will be a result of learning lessons of obedience.

The Winters Of Baltimore Although practically every old person will tell you that there are "when we are away or there were when we were away" and a weight of evidence seems to show the reverse, that they are slowly becoming more mature, the offspring of the offspring since 1818 parently show little change in the mean temperatures of the months they have been in mind that 1817 Bahamas was little than an overgrown village with no great fuel-use industries. Since then it has become of great city in the mid-1800s, the center of some hundred thousands and chimneys, all emitting volume of highly heated air. Of course in cold windy weather; but with our coldest days there is but little wind. Under such conditions, the temperature of their smoke forming a pall which stops radiation of heat, would have great effect. In proof of this, let us when comparisons are made (as is often done during cold spells) of temperatures in the suburbs and the city within a radius of three miles, variably show a reading of from 5 degrees to 20 degrees lower than all readings go to make an average, it seems to me that, had there been no climatic changes in the last fifteen years, should now be from degrees five degrees higher than in 1817. On the contrary, they seem to run slightly lower than then. Although the temperature has risen than half as often as fifteen years ago, it is the smoky hue that presides that time. Yet, despite this influence, January, 1917, was the coldest ever recorded. April 1, 1923, was the coldest on that late April, 1924, a 9 - inch drifting snow impeded travel, and this was never known before in April. The two years before the fall of Oct. 1925, ground after the fall of Oct. 1925. RICHMOND, VA.

Mrs. Fannie Austin of Hickory HIll, was the victim of gasoline explosion when she arose from bed and went to theiner. Evidently a mistake was made by theiner.

This shows, at least, that our winters are not becoming General Remarks The Baltimore winter, while not so severe as those of the north, is far more trying to persons of delicate skin, with a normal mean so scar 32 degrees, must be disagreeable in the last extreme; there is one continuous change, from ice to snow to open water, and then to open the mouth of the body, and a few hours later cold enough to drive one indoors; abrupt changes from a desert dryness of air to an atmosphere at saturation point, and back To demonstrate the absurdity of trying to forecast the winter any point out that on March 17, 1842, peach trees were in full bloom. On March 17, 1842, snowdrifts ten to fifteen inches thick, peach trees. New Year's Day, 1880, windows were open everywhere; New Year's Day, 1881, showed eleven thick thins in the harbor and a resemblance of six degrees below zero. During the winter of 1858-1859 thirty-three inches thick in the harbor and a resemblance of six degrees below zero. During the winter of 1858-1859 came on February 14th, while the last frost of the winter of 1857-1858 came on February 20th. March 19th was the first day of spring, when the goosbone, sources gathering nuts, etc., pointed to a terrible winter. It was the first year in history that the Hudson river had frozen. Lastly, it is a popular idea that mild and rigorous winters alternate. I have from an ancestor a general knowledge of weather since 1682; and I cannot find in it any deviance that the weather of even one month has any influence on that of next month, and that the change in climate is taking place, anything to indicate that any great The destructive floods now occurring, unmentioned before 1802, may be accounted for by the clearing away of trees, which allow sudden run-offs.

Old. Dear— It's the fag end of the holiday season and all the glamor that has surrounded us the occasion is fading rapidly so far as our household is concerned. Mother is making a courageous effort to bring out of the chaos which prevails on Christmas day, critically the aftermath of Christmas—bills which came in the morning's mail—and has threatened to shut down on all accounts, or words and music to that effect. Jack and Kilty are expressing their attitude in a rather clever little song, "Back to Howard," done to the "Bye-Byte Blackbird" motif; they are expressing their private places for the things which came my way in the recent give-and-take experience of this letter; I do thank you most heartily for the lovely pillow. It is exquisitely beautiful and too, it seconds perfectly with the color scheme of my room. If I were disposed to leave from you would be Exigent A. I do hope, though, that in the grand exchange you will be friends as you did to me. Prudely, I was "broke"—"broke broke"—and thats all I want to the occasion. I to check your book wasnt to the occasion. I to check your friendship a letter which will attempt to flush the high lights of all the Baltimore happenings which might be of interest to This time there are many of them Ida Lackey's marriage the initial Berry, but it has been duly chronicated by the press and further, though, the wedding gave Dessertia Thomas her third time in the role of host and attendante of the wedding, never a bride* . Still, nobody who remember Augusta Ward While I'm on the subject of mar- riage, I must not forget to mention Ruth Knowsley, Mary Moore, Mary Brewing, and the "Brewing" Breeding, all automated selected Tulefids as the time entering the bands of marriann- ity. I am not able to see them, but I am glad to know that I like, because they are all very intimate affairs and dea- tions about them have not been discussed. I am surprised the lot. Some runners of the other were current before the events occurred, however gail not been. Philadelphia, met the Niglish there by appointment, and they took the usual vows "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer," and The Cyclones, another contingent of the younger generation, gave me a sandwich tomorrow. Oh yes! I nearly forgot too, that Mrs. Tingle gave a lunchroom in honor of the Housekeepers and heard many favorable comments on it. I think there were many novel features about it which appended to the guests for they would have to see. The Half Century club took place at that night and as that time Gloria McKenzie Wright and Louise Young were presented as candidates for social honors. Now this survey, if I may so dignify, my interest, but I am just about all in. Next time I shouldn't be quite so tired, or for a long time good wishes for a happy New Year.

S. Young Of Lincoln Outlines Practical Way This Can Be Done C. I. A. A. BAN ON HOWARD RESCINDED Eligibility rules constitute the only fly in the inter-collegiate ointment. Stated another way, these rules are the only barrier preventing from seeing the game with Hampel A. & T., and Union as in former years, football, basketball and track. Coach U. S. Young, Jr. of Lincoln wore jerseys to the present inter-collegiate Athletic middle patch up outlined for the AFRO today how it may be done. The C. I. A. A. has resisted its ban toward as well as all non-collegiate teams said Coach Young. The association has made the first step with an olive branch in her hand, and now let Howard say it is not a violation of eligibility rules. If each side, said Coach Young, is willing to concede something, peace can be effected. As the matter now stands it is in every way the same as it two years ago. I feel however that the general attitude of the C. I. A. has changed. It would appear that while the white team is in the question of eligibility, is still the hope of contention. According to the C. I. A. A. recently根 ruling Lincoln or any other team in the C. I. A. A. may play Howard providing Howard so change her attitude toward eligibility as to con- form to the standard of the C. I. A. A. eligibility code. This brings us to the old question, namely, if a man playing on a varsity team in the C. I. A. A. is a student in the Preparatory Department and upon graduation from that Preparatory Department enters Howard or Lincoln, would he have the same number of years to play football at either of these schools as would a student from a high school or preparatory school outside of the C. I. A. A.? Howard malntains the attitude that any student entering her Freshman College department has the privilege of playing four years of college football despite the fact that that same student might have played four years of football as a preparatory student in any school of the C. I. A. A. Lincoln has never accepted this position of Howard and the schools of the C. I. A. A. are, of course, fighting ONE YEAR RULE The question, too, of one year elapsing before a transfer student is obligible to represent an institution in a national examination. If a student plays on any team in the C. I. A. A, and transfers to any other school in that Association, the EAR must show that student you will recall was the cause of the Miller controversy several years ago. It is no longer a case of Howard making at least an effort in the direction of changing her eligibility for those schools feel justified in playing her. Lincoln is going to make an honest effort to bring these schools together to play in the national examination. I. A. A. is neither all RIGHT nor ALL WRONG. Howard University is neither ALL RIGHT nor ALL WRONG. Howard University is neither ALL RIGHT nor WRONG. The question is one of ELIGIBILITY which finally must be solved. It will be the spirit of general good and patience and pattern of doing it to be done and can be done. I have no hesitancy in stating that thus far Howard has not been willing to meet the challenge of halfway there is no way out until Howard is willing to meet these schools and I solve the problem of give and receive the prize. Lincoln feels that the time has come to tighten up on eligibility rules and give the prize game. As matters now stand there is in 'practice' no eligibility rules governing this contest. What will be done and the result of that doing finally solve the whole controversy. Lincoln Formally Enters C. I. A. A. At the recent meeting of the Athletic Board of Control of Lincoln University, the two students relative to athletics were cleared up. Lincoln will again resume its membership in the C. I. A. A. action taken due to the recent resolution of the C. I. A. A. and the assurance stated in a letter under the resolution of the C. I. A. A. and the Williams of Hampton and Secretary of the C. I. A. A. that that body playing on its Varsity teams men of bend its efforts toward the College Game. Williams is of the opinion that this definite action will soon be taken by the C. I. A. A. Lincoln feels the importance of her or her take her place beside those institutions working for such an ideal. Games in basketball, baseball, football and basketball of the C. I. A.

The football player who is entitled to an award his first year will receive a gold football; if that same player be entitled to an award his second year he shall receive a silver.

In the month of October the only hope in the heavyweight ranks went down. Jack Sharkey defeated Harry Wills. The weightman Chick Sugga, the featherweight title contender, lost the most important match of his career when Honey Roy Finnegan, white, beat him. In the month of December was a "pain," Tiger Flowers "lost" to Mickey Walker.

A shortage of Athletic funds is said to have caused the 'red and black match' in the game, and the last season, and , the school only played three games, one with Manassas, another with Douglass high of Baltimore and the inter-city competition at Arlington. Douglass High According to way things stand now, it is apparent that Douglass High, Baltimore will probably meet the state team, and all of the inter-State teams on the gridiron or court if the Athletic Committee of the former institution rescheduled which bans all games with teams outside the state. Supervisor John has had the opportunity to interview with Superintendent Weglein and the outlook is hopeful that games between Douglass and the schools outside the state school board meets January 6th. This will give the locals time to arrange for their game with Dunbarton. Dunbarton and Douglass are scheduled to meet January 13, at Washington, but L. U. Gibson, coach and assistant coach of the states that he has heard nothing from the Athletic Committee and will not be able to say that the game will be played until they pass it. Seemingly Dunbarton and Douglass high both are having trouble with Athletics, but the lack of funds, at the other pupils say they have a non-Athletic head, who is about to put the "damper" on sports. Armstrong Moving Smoothly The only school in this section that has been able within the last two seasons to carry on its athletic program without any problems is represented in the Inter-Conference next season. The "Tech" boys have the spirit and say that they are ready to "Caju" the title regardless of Douglass, Booker T. and Dunbarton. Mr. Westmoreland, secretary-Treasurer, Inter-State Conference football eleven, says that with Dunbar back they are now awaiting the outcome at Doughty high school because of a penalty in the game. Then too, here is another high school, probably Armstrong of Richmond, Va., seeking admission in Baltimore and Dunbar returns the Conference will get under way next season with the biggest array of teams ever represented in a high school league. Eligibility Rule' The eligibility rule Mr. Westmoreland says has hampered both Washington high schools in athletics. In instance, this season Armstrong and Dunbar a day or two before the former met Booker T. and the latter met Booker T. in poor scholastic scholarship. This is a part of the Athletic rule in the District school, but the other schools in it are circuit Such little actions as this taken up by the Athletic Committee, less than a month before, in high school athletics, and the fellow who would make the best football player, for that reason does not have a Dabney To Lead Orange in 1927.

It was what is generally called in football circles an "pistrel." Gans, a hard hitting, shifty and finished lightweight, displayed no inclination to even fight back and went down on his k-ees several times in the second round finally to be counted out. McGovern, a fighter of more than passing ability—in fact, one of the greatest battlers of all times for his weight—mauled the lithe, black battler all over the ring. But Gans himself was a superfighter and just why he wasn't disposed to fight on this particular night has never, until this very day, been made clear by the racketeers. The doubt that Gans had fought his best so persisted in the minds of those who saw the one-sided fight that the city council shortly thereafter passed a law prohibiting the sport in Chicago. Referee Sial had this to say of the match: "It wasn't a fake, but Gans didn't seem to be trying to fight." Harry Forbes, second for Gans, said he was "very nervous." "Gans had to take to the road in the afternoon and take off an extra pound and one-half. That weakened him so he couldn't take any punches." Ai Hedford, manager for the Baltimore battler, had no reason for worrying about weight. McGovern who demanded that Gans make 143 pounds was very nervous, who were signed and declared he Two Colored Natators Enter California Channel Swim May Swim In The Nude For All He Cares, Says Wm.

Wrigley, Jr., the chewing gum magnet, sponsor of the aquatic event says, "I don't see where it makes much difference. If he or she feels that the race will be a bit easier without the handicap of a suit, why I'm for it." Opinions of various swimmers differ.

The trip would include Coles, of Howard, Stevenson, of Tuskegee, Duke Slater, former Iowa tackle and 'ink' pro player, Fitz Pollard and 'ink' adventures would also be made to Paul Robeson and Charlie Drew. Nothing will come of this except the talk, for Coles has two more years at Howard and he wouldn't be likely to risk his college career for which he would be compelled to turn professional.

The bookmakers offered to give odds that McGovern would win by a knockout—and Joe Gans was the most formidable century had produced. They even went further. They offered to "take a chance" on naming the round in which the knockout would occur, and offered honest to goodness cash to all com- Takers were few. The sportively inclined gentry had smelled a rat and held a firework to come off. But the boys with the long green were bold and carefree. They offered to bet it "anyway you want to" and switch to Gans and McGewen were on their feet at the end of the fourth round. That is the low-down on the boxing force that doomed pugilism in Chicago more than 26 years ago. Incidentally, Benny Yanger, who seems to have gotten a Mickey Walker title hout, was a snaquer on the memorable night McGewen beat Joe Gans, the greatest fighter for his weight of all times, to his knees later to the dreaded count of 60. catators Enter a Channel Swim He Cares, Says Wm.

Beckwith couldn't get along with the Sox and rumor has it now that he has been traded from the Harrisburg team. The trade, according to he Chicago Whip, will send Beckwith to the Chicago American Giants in exchange for Pitcher George Harnay, Jackson and Shackleford. After this has been completed Beckwill will be turned over to the Kansas City Monarchs by the Chicago Giants in exchange for Duncan and Allen. Critics admit that Beckwith is a mighty sticker and a fair helper, but they declare that he cannot perform on the field. Nothing Allen, of the Kansas City Monarchs.

Athletic Now At A. And T. BOSTON, MASS.—Johnny Shelburne, former football star at Dartmouth College, and now director of Physical Education at Evanville High School, Evanville, Ind., and Paul V. Jewell, former football and truck star at Massachusetts "Tech", and now an instructor at A. & T. College, Greensboro, N. C., were in Boston last week, and with them came memories of the old fall days in 1919 and 1920, when Johnny was halled the "Iron Man" on the big Green Eleven. Jewell's record as an athlete is less vivid than that of Shelburne. Although he won honors at Massachusetts "Tech" as a member of the football team and track squad, very few people have a record of him, but Johnny is known throughout the States as Shelburne, the boy who stopped Cornell. Jewell graduated from Tech last year and is now instructor in Physics at A. & T. College. Shelburne Coached Lincoln After finishing Dartmouth in 1921, with the distinction of being selected by Walter Camp and Gil Dable, as All-American fullback, Shelburne took up the duties as foot In 1920, the Howard Bilsons, led by "Cute" Carter and "Bulldog" Williams had given the Lions the most licking in the history of the institution. The score that year was 42 to 0. When the Lions and Howard met in Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day, the Lions scored 13 to 12. The Boston went to Lincoln that year and put out a winning team. Truck Star Shulburn was a member of the 1920 and 1921, Durmont track team, a ten-second man in the 120-yard dash and a winner in the 220. In 1921 he was intercollegiate shot put champion and a winner in the 220.

The huddle system of calling signals is also doomed. At the meeting of the American Football Coaches Association at the Waldorf Hotel last week most of the 200 coaches present voiced their sentiment against the two pet signs of The report of the committee on stabilizing the coaching profession at the University of Chicago's crism of college alumni and student bodies, was prepared by Dr. Alonso Stagg, veteran Chicago University coach and read by Hugo Bedeck. Dr. Stagg declared that a survey of 120 American Universities prominent in football showed that in age tenure of office by coaches had been only 2 1-5 years and that each institution had averaged 3-1-1 coaches during a period of 10 years. The 120 coaches had 375 coaches, and in only sixteen had the same coach held his job throughout the period. Single year terms for coaches were reported among 140 colleges. Victories Demanded What makes the profession of football coaching so perilous the prosecution event will answer that the main factors were: 1. The demand of the alumn, student bodies and the general public for winning games. 2. The popularity and unstable nature of athletic control and organization in American institutions of leisure. 3. The tendency of the press to act as mouthpiece for disgruntled alumni and captious critics among the student bodies and the public Better Games Better and quicker games are sure to result from cutting the shift and huddle. These two features have given the sport its backgroun in our circuits. They have given no end to arguments both among spectators, coaches and playmates, and long as an hour while officials tried to straighten out the legality of the sport, the sport's simplicity and clarify football in our collegiate ranks will increase the love of the sport among spectators. But do not know what it is all about. Removing Menaces Removal of several menaces from our youthful coaching staff now serving our schools will make for better athletes and stronger characters gambling and low moral conduct hinder our coaches in the result column. Most of them know the game and are coming from great schools and best athletic instructors are given. But once they don the coaches badge of authority—and become the idol of the campus, they lose their魅. The social shirt gets them the M.A. degree, they get their laxity. Many more should go for the good of the profession. Coaching—instructing young men to lead clean lives, thus shaping their character, feelings and should be kept clean. BABY JOE GANS AFTER MANDELL LOS ANGELES, CAL. JAN. (PGNB.)—Took Baby Joe Gans just four and a half rounds to stop hot airplane pilots, who came from San Francisco with a very impressive record. Evidently fully recovered from a severe swarm all over Daley, Jabbing him with a marvelous left and rocking him to his heels with rights to the head. Manager James Larson, coach and Tox Cox, managers of Gans have many offers for his services including two weeks at the Eastin. Should the Eastern offer be taken up, Gans and his managers and trainers will make the Eastern trip. Although Chicago wants a Mandell-Gans championship bout, Jack Doyle, millionaire, would stage a charity football game. He can get Baby Gans services and he has wired Mandell an offer.

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder Wages in the south have been low because the supply of labor has been plentiful. The wages of the south have been a standing disgrace to that sation of the country, and no other people would have stood it as long as the Negro has stood it. You cannot blame a man for not wanting to work in the hot sun of the brick yards, tumultuous swamps in the cotton fields or rice swamps when he gets only three or four dollars a week. Dirty Work Somebody down in Georgin has been doing dirty work. Winberly E. Brown, white, an attorney, at Lyons, Ga., was taken from his home by a masked band, spirited outside of town, flogged and left to make his way home the best he could. Herefordo, the Ku Klux in Georgia, have been flogging mostly colored folk, but this time they made a mistake, as Ku Klux will do, and the first thing the thing they governor had offered was $1,000 for the conviction of the first member of that flogged Brown, threatened, the county with martial law if any more flogging occurred, and generally upset the Ku Kluxers of Georgia, so that Nathan head of the Klan in Georgia, made announcement and day that no flogging involved in the flogging and offered $500 for the arrest and conviction of the leader of the masked band. "It's dirty work," said Forest, "when people will go out and kidnap good men and flog them under the sheets of the Ku Klux." Forest insisted in a loud voice that no Ku Klux were engaged in the kidnapping until the Vidalia, Ga. klan announced that eight of its robes were misstored. Born to Forest, here for the flogging occurred: Some citizens, not members of the K. K. K., broke into the klan headquarters, stole eight ku klux masks, put them on, kidnapped Brown and flogged him so that the crime could be fastened on the ku klux klan. We agree with Forest that dirty work has been done. Then we go one step further and state our belief that the klan did it. Our Friend Letters from a correspondent who signs himself "Truth" of Mt. Washington. Md., appearing from time to time in recent issues of the AFRO-AMERICAN must have opened the eyes of some of our readers to what some of our white American citizens think of their colored brothers. Some have so many warm fries, white, black and yellow that we are frequently led to the belief that we have no bitter enemies. It takes letters like those of "Truth" to wake us up. There is a similar surprise in store for those who bank wholeheartedly and believing upon the republican party. For example, there is Senator William L. Rep. (idaho), supposedly a friend of humanity, a friend, a champion of charity, the constitution and American principles. Nevertheless, writing in a recent issue of the Crisis on the question of Negro suffrage, Senator Borah says he is one of those who believes that the fifteenth amendment to the constitution at the time it was written was a mistake, his colored people in this country were better off if the franchise had been given only to the intelligent colored people and to those who would serve the war as soldiers. Senator Borah is also opposed to any force bill or to the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. They are founded, he declares, upon a wholly false theory. Senator Borah is one of those Republicans who very probably votes for the secretary of the treasury appropriation to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment but doesn't believe in forcing the south to recognize the Fifteenth Amendment on the Fourth Amendment. He'll probably vote to have the U.S. to save American property in Mexico while denouncing federal efforts to mob outrages in southerns. Readers of the AFRO-AMERICAN who thought a good deal of Senator William Borah need to look at him now in a different light. It is not the principle he stands on not a theory of government, but it is a question of sentiment, and concern. Senator Borah explains his feelings by saying the south is doing the best it can and that the Negro problem was thrust upon them, "a proud and brave people," and the north ought to be considerate. The AFRO-AMERICAN has pointed out republicans should not be blamed for the failure of Congress to pass the anti-lynching bill. That responsibility lies wholly on the shoulders of the republican majority. They have the power to see that the constitution is enforced and if they do not, it will be the responsibility of the democratic minority, they nevertheless, must, shoulder the full responsibility.

Colored folk were his neighbors and his pals. Lately he has gone to New York to live and in an interview written for Success Magazine, Mr. Malkus confesses that his convictions about the Negro gained from long association in the South have udegone many revisions since he has been in the north. Let him speak for himself, he says: "I have seen the Negro in a different and more favorable environment to it. Also I have learned more about his capacities and his accomplishments. "I see no reason why Negroes should not be allowed to vote everywhere as they are in New York, Pennsylvania, New England and other northern and western states. I do not object to his holding public office and responsible positions in private business. For my part, I have felt that the laws and privileges any other American is entitled to, including the right to live where he will. "When my children go to public school I am not going to be alarmed or degraded if there are Negro boys and girls in their classrooms. I lose no pride in the same Pullman car with me. I frequently sit beside colored men in the subway and feel no dishonor thereby. Occasionally I would prefer to sit somewhere else, but I have felt the same way about other members of the included blonde Nordics. All contact with crowds is likely to prove unpleasant." Mr. Malkus is a representative of the new liberal south, we cheerfully recommend him for member in the AFRO'S Golden Rule Club. Wilberforce The so-called "investigation" at Wilberforce University which began with a good deal of fuss and splutter several weeks ago is in a fair way to peter out during the next week. It has been a seven days' wonder and perhaps that is all the investigators wish. To be sure no other investigation of the past year has been given the publicity as has the alleged probe at Wilberforce by the press and unless the investigators bring out more than they have already the whole affair will rank with the sensational attack of a Pittsburgh newsroom upon the N. A. A. C. P. recently. To begin with, nobody knows who is behind the alleged probe of Wilberforce University affairs. The boss investigator has withheld his name. In the second place Wilberforce has a dual government. Its normal school is conducted by the university, the school grounds annually to supervise expenditures and audit them. The other part of the university, the college and the theological school, is conducted by the A. M. E. Church, with Bishop Joshua H. Jones, resident bishop, in charge of the university. Bishop Jones and the trustees board have the sole right to authorize an investigation. Under these circumstances the proper place to seek authorization of a probe of the university's affairs would be a trustee meeting of the college or of the university or interference of the church which supports the institution. No matter what the incentive, no individual has the right to walk on a university campus, accompanied by a lawyer, detective and newspaper reporters and announce he has come to investigate the affairs of President Gilbert Jones would have been justified if he had ordered their arrest, and prosecuted them for trespassing on the university property. We hold no bristles for Wilberford Jones. We do not know when its financial affairs are conducted rightly or wrongly. But we do know there is a proper method of procedure if we wish those affairs investigated. Wilberforce has its church conferences in the middle west while support the institution. It has its board of trustees and it has its alumni association. Until those who feel aggrieved take up their case before one of these professors, they should be insane enough to take his case to the public. Until those who are behind this so-called probe are many enough to come forward and identify them, another job pulled off by any other boy while the boss is away. Matt Henson The AFKO nominates Matt Henson, of New York, for the Spingar medal of 1927. Mr. Henson who was born in Charles County, Maryland, sixty years ago, accompanied Commander Robert E. Peary, white on his north pole expedition April 7, 1909. There are those who may feel such an award now is tardy. Certainly, no one can say that it would be undeserved. Describing Henson's part in the discovery of the north pole, Peary said Call VE rmon 6016 sulting from hard work, exposure, danger and a common object: the Henson ranger assistant, has been with me in one capacity or another since my second trip to Nicaragua in 1887. I have taken him on our trip to Nicaragua, the first and also without exception on each of my farthest polar trips. This position has given him power to have adaptability and fitness for the work; and second, on account of his loyalty. He is a better dog driver than any man in the best Espinoza hunters themselves. Alogether Peary made eight trips to the Arctic regions. Similar high praise of Mr. Henson's work was brought out by Donald B. MacMillan, white, another famous Arctic ex- Speaking of Hen's work he said to millions of radio listeners. "Peary took Henson to the pole because he was better than any other white man for the purpose, better in many respects than Peary himself." William credited Henson with having constructed the sledges and planned all the equipment for the polar dash. He quotes Peary as saying, "We could not have done without Matt Henson." So much honor was paid to Peary for his pole dash that Mr. Henson was commanded in recent years leaves Mr. Henson as the only human civilized being who has ever set foot in the region of the north pole. However, tardy we have been heretofore in acknowledging Mr. Henson's contribution in his trip to the pole dash to the point at which he admits gratitude of the nation is more widely recognized today than ever before.

Negro call art, but a correspondent impresses us to say something about the tendency of our growing crop of young writers to glorify ice and realistic gutter life. If you have read recent fiction stories in the Crisis, Opportunity and Fire, you will agree with the correspondent when she says that most of our writers are going to the writings of the big cities for their source material. If they don't do this they are likely to overplay the color line theme which has become hackered and sickening to red blood youth. Since "Nigger Heaven," which along with the risque theatrical productions, has proven a money gambit, generous and ambitious young writers will resort more and more to this field and herein the danger lies. We might just as well admit it, that we have been from the great hakes to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the gates of the golden West, is taking its shape, its spirit, and its soul like flouting into the great cides. Harlem, Harlem; State street, South street, Pennsylvania avenue places like these loom like spectral cones on the floor. Every writer must drop into the Bamboo Inn or Connie's or some such emporium for a breath of inspiration and setting down the fifty stuff, call it art. Lonsided There should, of course, be some well written descriptive novels picturing life as we find it in existence. But criticism must begin when this kind of things completely crowds out all of the more constructive forms. But the young especially, these kinds of books, plays and poems seem highly interesting. They give a kick and give them too much spice cake and too little solid food. THERE IS INDIGESTION. They don't have to tell mothers now worrying their souls out contemplating the possible fates of 15 year old girls what is their most important thing is doing to the young. Many of them know too well. Yet despite this, even mothers of the gospel and teachers in schools are soft-sounding the timid masses by broadcasting the idea that the modern spoon is the rising right. We are all losing our balance called "oldfirmers," "moss backs" and "drabs" we are yielding to descriptive extremes of modern- Even though we know it is squeezing blood of sorrow out of our hearts, we ourselves that this tendency of the younger generation, this literary bravery, this drunken orgy of the thing we call life, is all right. When a Belasco gives us a "Lulu Bello" who raises her hands in a Vulcan Teken takes us slumming and parades brown skinned Jezebels before us we glarefully swallow the more with the sweet tasting social recognition, we do not taste the bitter poison within. Follows Along As long as we present this listless leadership—as long as we are afraid to speak out, how can we encourage our students to gluifying vices, curse, get drunk and make sex degeneracy their daily topic of discussion? The worst thing we pass up the most interesting phases, episodes, and situations in their crowded rush towards the crowded middle school in my country hamlet an embryo genius and the first thing we do is to cart him or her to school so that few of them can regard the great white ways as abnormal efforts to obtain human happiness, as stimulating and encouraging that break monotony of life—BUT THEY MAKE IT LIFE ITSELF. In every village of this country there are countless unusual, poetic and artistic for a thousand books or for the highest reaches of art.

To the Editor: I think the word "Truth" is a very unbecoming nickname for your correspondent from Mount Washington. I did not know that there was a man born above the Mason and Dixon line possessing such gross ignorance. Colored talks to him were influenced by their environments.

None begets immorality when Africa, none of these knew he when he came; he must either be taught or acquire them through personal contact and with whom was that contact?

Editor, here's a black-skinned friend to answer. Why is the Negro barred from all first-class hotels and public places? Why have millions of white people left their homes at great expense to get away from Negroes? Why do white people shun Negroes on the street cars and refuse to sit with them? Why are people in speaking of something that's inferior say it's good enough for a Negro? Why are Negroes so afraid of slave riots? Why is the death rate among Negroes per cent higher than the whites? Why is it that the white people have invented everything and the Negro nothing? Why is the Negro filthy? Why do thousands of Negroes work for white people, but no white people work for Negroes? Why do Negroes copy everything from the white people? Why are Negroes so evasive? Why do all Negroes have such courage? Why are Negroes barred from a great many large towns in the wess? Why are Negroes such cowards? Why is it the Negro has reached his height and now he is on the road to victory. Truth. Mt. Washington.

Look and Learn Look and Learn BY A. C. GORDON ANSWERS Kelly Miller Says The evils of the world are moral evils and call for moral remedies. This includes the evil involved in the maladjustments of the economic order. Race prejudice is a moral disease and can be curred, if at all, neither by the political nor the economic treatment. Economics cannot solve the race problem; but the race problem cannot be solved without economics. Is The Race Problem An Economic One? We live in an economic age. The chief energies of our day and time are devoted to the production and distribution of food, and we demand that we shall drink, and wherewithal shall we be clothed, engage a large part of the effort of the age and country in which we live, but material wealth constitutes the condition for the development of the so-called higher and finer faculties of our nature. To say that Negro should be the only fully wealth would be to write one's self a self-condemned simpleton. The Negro race stands most surely in need of conditions essential to right living, and to intellectual moral and spiritual development. The doctrine of industry, thrift and economy is elementary in any rational race pro- The Negro's greatest relative deficiency lies in the domain of pollination, and it sustains one tenth of the population; He owns less than one percent of the wealth, and welds not only with iron and steel, but with a powerful power. On the other hand, on the scale of intelligence, moral and religious place, he holds a credible place. We are often misled by idle boasting concerning the wonderful material progress which the wonderful admirable, only when measured by the advance over the point of beginning. It is wholly without meaning that the question of the white race. It is calculated that the Negro has accumulated two billion dollars worth of property. These amounts to the number of the owner who seeks apiece by appealing to the vanity and conceit of his unsophisticated hearers. The wealth of the man who owns the billions of dollars, or approximately three thousand dollars per capita. Whereas the per capita holdings of the Negro would be something like two hundred dollars. A large part of his holdings is in the nature of home ownership. The Negro's farm holdings are about his only possession that has the potentiality of capital. Henry Ford and John D. Rochester, between them, own more wealth than all of the ten million Negroes possessed in any community a single white man who owns more wealth than all of the Negroes of that jurisdiction. In a comparative or comparative health, his wealth is all but a negligible quantity. And yet, the comparison is not complete. Dead wealth, such as is tied up in hospitality does not count for power. A much larger proportion of the white man's possession is of wealth. Practically every dollar of Mr. Ford's immense holdings is put out at usury to produce still more capital. On the other hand, the Negroes in the nature of unproductive home ownership. If we must rely upon wealth to solve the race problem, it seems quite clear that the Negro does not now, nor is likely in the near future, to materially affect the outcome. If rights are to be based upon wealth, then the man who has the most rights. According to this scheme of apportionment, one white man would be entitled to as much of rights as five million Negroes. Would the necessities of a decent livelihood, the Negro's wealth comparatively insignificant, and is likely to remain so for as far as possible, can be materially as our civilization is engineered and equipped for the production of wealth. Aggregated capital is monopolizing a larger and larger share in the production of material things. The Negro cannot command competitive capital. And if he could he would be shut out from our prejudice. The capital misjudgment of Booker T. Washington was the often expressed belief that the Negro would be purative wealth, then the white man would respect him. Respect that must be bought with all the resources he rejects if the Negro owned the mortgages on white men's homes, in the present inflamed state of racial fear, that he can be an unsatisfactory ownership. How can we hope that money will solve the race problem, when our observation of the money in the inharmonies in the world today. The World War was the outgrowth of the competitive conflict between Europe and America is caused by the economic issue. Capital and money in each others throats, not only in America, but all over the world. Every high thinker in the world today foresees that there must be a second reason for the monastic will be reprimanded by the service motive, before we can hope to bring about peace on earth and will grow among men. In the economic equation, the Negro contributes nothing but his bodily labor, and derives little more than the rare necessities of life. We gain more are rare and fortunate exceptions. We have before us the sad spectacle of Negroes trying to gain more than they too often bring themselves and their duped victims to grief. Every reader of this article can count even ministers of the gospel who have brought disgrace upon themselves and scandal upon the church by the mad rush after in Property Home Ownership Upon Wealth Competitive Capital Economic Order An Utterance Of Profound Wisdom Our forefathers, in the dark days of slavery, when they found themselves chaotic in their possessions, they distrusted: "You may have all the world, give me Jesus." Sophisticated Negroes of noteworthy at their surmounts ministered to the people. I have heard Frederick Daugherty hold the idea up to derision, and yet on closer analysis, it proves to be an utterance of profound wisdom. There was no human way for them to get possession of the world's goods under the bounds of slavery. They were only abstaining to the white man that he would have known, but was the wisdom of the foe, on finding that the grape hung beyond his reach to call them on. But after all, they reserved themselves the higher value. The term Jesus involved all that they could understand of the higher culture of the mind and spirit. To The Soul The Negro today might do worse than to imitate their secrecy by using the same terms of present conditions. The white race possesses the roads, steamships, the oars of the ships, the accumulated wealth. This he holds without the Negroes left or hindrance. He is secure in his undisputed possession; it is his right to proclaim; Negro to proclaim; "Bar if you will the way to wealth and power, but keep open the doorway of his wealth." Race prejudice will not yield to material wealth. The rich Negro is jimi-crowed along with his papier brother. Segregation is the result. I know a block in Washington built up in part of fine homes and apartments of small and pretenuous white. While I occupied the more pretentious dwellings and Negroes the hummer ones, I observed one object on Negroes the neighborhood, but one day some prosperous Negro underdog to buy one of the finer residences in the neighborhood. I observation over the segregation issue culminating in a discriminatory decision by Supreme Court of State. Money The Servant; Man The Master It was the inspired Peter who admonished Peter the soocer, that he could not purchase the gift of wealth, but with all of his wealth cannot secure complete equality with Gentile America. No where in the world can he possess the rights to his race. The Negroes are the only element who labor under the vuln delusion that money will solve their problems. Laboring man never argues thus, neither does the Catholics, or the Jew. Women never base their cause upon money or relative economic power. These women must be dealt with as such. Money is the servant; man is the master. All these great social problems must seek upon money, and not of money. Man makes money, and man makes and conditions human relations. Money is but a tool to be used by man, and not money, man develops manhood, he will make money, if necessary, and translate it into the desired form of service. Of Socialism The fundamentally weak point in the doctrine of socialism is that it places too great reliance on the evil world for moral evils and call for moral remedies. This includes the evil involved in the misuse of the economic order. Race prejudice is a moral disease and can be cured, if at all, neither by the political nor the economic treatment. Economic injustice is the race problem; but the race problem cannot be solved without economics. Weekly Lessons In English Words Often Misused "Jewels" and "jewelry."

Moton, in the Institute Chapel at Tuskegee on November 14th. Just eleven years ago today, Tuskegee experienced a destabilization ever known. Its founder, and for thirty years, its Principal, Booker T. Washington, passed into the Institute at the Oaks and among people whom he had loved and who had worked with him and his family. It is my purpose tonight to attempt a eulogy of I'm in any sense. It would be inappropriate, though unnecessary. But it occurs to me that he will for to pause as a family on this eleventh anniversary and death of Washington and we can in any simple way draw some lesson and get some inspiration from the great life that was given the night might enjoy greater opportunity. If one should ask me to sum up in a single expression the eleven qualities of Dr. Washington's big man, might say that he was a man of great faith in his fellow man. That would be correct. But the question is how can one conceive that characterizes the life of Booker T. Washington is that he loved his fellow man—individually and en muse. In humanity, he loved man and mankind, white or black, rich or poor, learned or ignorant. Under all circumstances he loved man, and in all circumstances he was to serve people—his own people, of course first. But his service was always open to anyone, anywhere, as was thus the case. Booker Washington loved his race. He saw as few other men saw, the things that need doing them. He realized the problem of his race. He saw the shortcomings of his people and knew that when these were gone he would go forward. But often he was misunderstood. People denounced and *bused* him and one in Boston, they mobbed him, he had no words of bitterness. He did not recognize them as enemies. To him they were not who they were, who they stand. He believed that in the heart of hearts of the white man in the South and in the North, he cared desire to give the Negro justice. Booker T. Washington succeeded in finding that he was able to serve man, and was able the better to serve his race and nation. And then there were people —the same people who mis- directed him—who said he was backing in courage when he said he was a coward because he did not shout the Negro's grevences from every house- town, but he crucified the South because he believed in cultivating the fundamental good will of the southern white people; that he belittled his name and his courage or of the South because he insisted on calling attention to the Negro's shortcomings and urging their eradication. All this they said was true. It was this same man who went into a district in Mississippi a few weeks after a lynching had occurred there in which three WATERS' A. M.

In reply to his friends' warnings, Salem police in New York while fellow members of his race were being shot down and killed in ... streets and they stopped so they could get in the lanta; got in touch with the Governor of the state, prominent leaders of both races; and together they stopped so they could get in the riot. There has not been a riot in Atlanta since. And yet the men who said he was a coward He saw that his own people were dying twice as fast as the population of a community from Maryland to Texas and that in the case of certain diseases the proportion was much greater. He was one of the first African Americans of ousness of this condition and to take steps to obviate it. He fostered the National Negro College and critically investigated the living conditions and surroundings of black folk, to teach mothers better care of their babies, to teach the race instruction in hygeine. A group of us met a few weeks ago in Washington with the United States General and his medical staff. We discussed the problem of Negro health and made suggestions concerning living conditions which the government is about to publish. The government is spending its money and time on Negro health and largely because the company had made the government realize the necessity for such a program. Although the government ought to do, it is a marvelous achievement in view of the widespread indifference to matters relating to the Negro some governmental department. When he organized the National Negro Business Longue Association, he understood what was being done. "Why does does not Booker Washington stay at the school?" they asked. "Why does he want to make bankers, manufacturers and business men of this health movement?" But it was then he urged the importance of an intelligent an African people throw up their hands and said, this man is an enemy of the Negro race, he is trying to bury the colorism that the race B. Dr. W. Ingleton knew that the church could not be built with an ignorant industry and an ignorant culture. Why did Booker Washington do all this? Why did he be healed from a serious illness or criticism? The answer is, he loved his fellow man. Who did he bear the years of service? He died poor because everything he worked for, every dollar he earned, was for his son and not for himself. He loved mankind and he gave his life to the service of human- EVERYBODY WELCOME Union Baptist Church Drulid Hill Ave, near Delphin St. REV, DAVID E.

During the year 1926, while a number of new business concerns came into existence, a general situation began. A big business underwent a setting process. Although some expansion is shown here and there, especially in the Negro business underwent a setting process. Although some expansion is shown here and there, especially in the Negro business, there is no perceptible advance in neither the distributing trades nor farming. Banking Business With the acceptance of the Pittsburgh Steel City Bank disaster, there have been no great failures during the year and most of the banker product, a steady growth employer, Negro concerns. While business in the Detroit area tends to show the result of slight unemployment, it has not a steady growth of concerns there. Mr. D. B. Fullwood, manager of the Finance Corporation, reports that the industry that there will be expansion along the line during the year 1928. The same condition is reported to the Douglas National Bank of Chicago go have sent out recent finance statements, which show a steep upward trend in the banker product, a steady growth employer, Negro concerns. Credit Buying Some anxiety is felt, however, In speaking of general conditions, J. L. Horace, Cashier of the People's Bank of Nashville, Tennessee, declares that the Nashville community docks towards 1937 with a degree of pride and ambition for a bigger war than the business business, he says, has been well up to the average, and the insurance business better than before, and most of the business men represent Nashville. Among the new enterprises in Nashville in 1926 were the Fidelity Laundry Company, which operates a laundry business employing eleven women and seven men; two undertaking establishments, Irving and Moore, and W. P. Payne, both of whom have also into that field. D. W. Hawkins, a prominent business man of Nashville was elected in 1926 as president of the Peoples Bank and an officer in the Mobile, Alabama. E. S. Peters, president and general manager of the Union Mutual Insurance Company, reports business conditions in that section as on the upward trend. The state of Alabama, he says, is investing $10,000,000 in docks at the Mobile port and is connecting mobile with Mobile. Besides the erection of two large brick buildings on the main business avenue in Mobile, the Masons are spending $15,000 to improve their temple. The business baron Mrs. Jas. H. Dennis James H.

Some anxiety is felt, however, by the customers, the constant increase of credit buying by all groups. While but few Negro concerns have entered this field, the hold that it is attaining on the rate of credit buying is beckoned with in contemplating future business growth. There are practically no companies in the finance field which take credit buying. There are bought on the installment plan. This field, it is pointed out, is one in which the Negro financier must find a place, or lose a large part of his business from general business transactions.

FIRESTONE PLANS FOR LIBERIAN RUBBER GROWS NEW YORK · (P.N.S.)—American rubber manufacturers not only can dominate the domestic market but they will take up the culture of virgin rubber, the opinion of Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., who has just returned from Liberia. Inspection of the Firestone company's newly acquired 1,000,000-acre rubber plantation there, the son of the rubber maker, has shown that that tract alone can free the American market of foreign domination from within seven to ten years. For least five years must elapse before the tree begins to yield, and the output will not cut an important figure in the world market until 2015. In full operation years ago, he estimated that the tract would produce 200,000 tons of crude rubber, against the average American annual consumption now of 50,000 The Firestone Plantation Company has a ninety-nine year" lease on the tract from the lborian government, and is building a modern harbor for exporting the rubber. The Firestone Company expects to erect a modern American city to secure for the American city will be surrounded by all sanitary safeguards.

PORTER'S CASE UP TO MEDIATION BOARD Pullman Union Says Employees Were Coerced Into Voting Company Plan NEW YORK—One of the most thoroughly organized cases which the Mediation Board had to present to the Court, it was presented by A. Philip Randolph, General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The hearings were staged in the Congress Hotel in Chicago. The Mediators who were assigned to conduct the hearings were Edwin Morrow and his Assistant Bloch. Covering a period of ten days or more, the Brotherhood and the Pullman Company were alternately engaged in conference and acquaintance contensions relative to the right of the Employees Representation Plan, the Company's Sleeping Car Porters, respectively, to represent the porters and mids. The Company contended that 85 per cent of the men voted agreeable over a period of five or six years. The Brotherhood, on the other hand, maintained that the Plan was a violation of the Federal Statutes which provides expressly and definitely for the self-organization of employees and not a company organization, such as the Employee Representative Plan is; that the Plan is not for over five or six years doesn't prove that the Plan is either lawful or that the agreements are valid. The Brotherhood presented 1,000 affidavits indicating coercion and intimidation practiced on the porters and maids in order to compel them to vote for its Plan. A resumption of the Plan in the Welfare Board will take place some time in January. SEASHORE HOTELS TO HAVE WAITRESSES ATLANTIC CITY.—Beginning January 36, Haddon Hall, a hotel owned by Heeds and Lippincott will supplant the waiters and waitresses.

Emory has served the house for 37 years and Duy for 34 years. Waiters, some six officers including the head waiter and the second man, are being pensioned the guess count was 904. The average of 10 days ending January 3rd was 650. The management declares there will be no waiters' service but they feel the girls will prove more attractive. Whites Stole Chickens GOLDSORO, N.

Law Varies With Railroad, City And State Enforced Some Places, In Others Ignored (By The Arkansas Traveler) JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Jan. (A.N.P.—The people of this state are much interested in the charges brought against the Shenandoah River. The Johnson Company by Mr. Brookins for being ejected from a Pullman, and thrown into jail, and fined, while an inter-state passenger. How do Negroes travel South? That question is constantly asked by the people North. There are many answers. They are separate coach, or "Jim Crow" car laws throughout the South. These laws are enforced for the comforts and benefits of the white passengers of the Negroes. This is evident practically everywhere. There are differences in enforcement, as between New York and Kansas. There are differences in different states, different railroads and otherwise. Crowds are sometimes illicitous, therefore, it cannot be just or fair. Hot Springs I know hundreds of men and women who would spend from one week to two months at Hot Springs each year. If it were not for the "Jim Crow" service and the bake service to Negroes, the folly of it all is in this: I took a first-class train out of Lifetime Rock to Kansas, and I am sorry, but you cannot get accommodations until you touch Coffeilley, Kansas. I reached Coffeilley, I went from the coach back to the same back into the Pullman, got a bed, and rode into Kansas, City without anyone having heart failure. Is it not a terrible state to get into my Pullman at Little Rock? I'll say it is. Law Of Supply And Demand Railroads are not charities. They Georgia Furnishes Example There is a difference in the degree of enforcement in two chief cities of Georgia, Georgia and Georgia, in the principal railway stations. In the Union station at Savannah, there is but a brass rail that divides the "Colored" from the "White" section, just that and nothing more. If there has to be separation, that ought to be fair In Atlanta, at the Terminal Station, colored passengers are forced up a long alley way, condemned by the city's strict dress code, wish fairness, at a disgusting exhibition of prejudicial arrangement. The white passenger room is large, and well-lit; the Dugger passenger room is small, dark, and ill-kept. GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter Samuel Green, 102 Carroll street, is one man who don't believe in foolishness. Sam came in to town on his girl friend, Miss Mary George, who lives at 110 Olivet street. Sam was one of those hard working middle aged businessmen who didn't business like manner and he wasn't too heartily in accord with the plan when she suggested that they take a walk, but Sam might make the heart beat a little faster it took more than love to keep Sam's feet warm. The climax came when Mary grew playful and ran expecting him to chase her. Sam wasn't in any chasing mood, his feet hurt, and he wanted to go home, and he had worked hard the past week but didn't want to be out walking anyway. Mary slapped Sam in the face again and didn't bother about running because she knew Sam would be hurt and didn't chance her and tap her back. She was mistaken in the latter because Sam struck out with all the right knocked Mary go-ho. After they picked her up and took her home. Sam was fine $10 and costs in the Southern Monday for playing too rough. If the Baltimore police minded their own business, Theodore Brown 718 W. Mulberry street would be steadily steered of waiting trial in the city jail. But everybody's business is police business and Brown is in trouble. Brown met Thomas Townsend, 561 Oxford street, when he was on his way home from work the other day and informed that gentleman Townsend was suspicious and scrutinized the salesman out of the corner of his eye. Townsend was walking around the street with a set of harness and didn't get no horse! he asked? "Just coming back from selling the criter and now the harness isn't good to me," explained Townsend was convinced and made the purchase. He had hardly gotten in the house, however, before he was asked, "Where is that set of harness?" Robbed Man Who Gave Him Lift To Work That the "Good Samaritan" is sometime taken in by the thieves and robbers was revealed when Wavley Harris 18, 615 S. Charles Street, New York, on the day of the Grand Jury. Tuesday on a charge of stealing papers systematically from the truck driver who pickled him up on his work to work on the job. Tuesday morning, the driver gave Harris the usual lift to the car line but after Harris had gotten off, the driver drove around the block and took his car. On returning he found Harris standing in a doorway with something bulging under his coat which proved to be 30 papers. Wilson Staked. His Claim But Had No Deed Minnie Hopper, who lives at 817 Green street, had been beaten up pretty badly when the police went to the disturbance, Sunday night. That's why they arrested John Wilson, who lived at the same address and was said to be Minnie's meal thief. That night, Monday morning he was arraigned on the charge of assault. "What was all the commotion about?" demanded the Magistrate, Minnie. "You see Judge, he came home unexpectedly and without giving me a word of explanation he began to beat me. Your Honor, and know what it what" was all about. "That woman didn't need no explanation, Your Honor," said Wilson, "she heard that back door slam just as I came in and she knew who Green Played Too Rough Brown Was A Good Salesman, But Good Morning Judge I know hundreds of men and women who would spend from one week to two months at Hot Springs each year. If it were not the "Jim Crow" service and the build fraternity denial of first-class status to Nergues. The folly-of it all is in this: I took a first-class train out of Little Rock to Kansas City, and the agent informed me that "I am sorry, but you cannot get accommodations until you reach Coffeyville, Kansas." I reached Coffeyville at one a. m. after sleeping on a pillow furnished by the Negro porter in the "Jim Crow" car, for twenty-five cents. On reaching Kansas, I went from the coach I was in, on the same train, back into the Pullman, got a bed, and rode into Kansas City without anyone having heart failure. Is it not a terrible state of mind that prevented me from getting into my Pullman at Little Rock? I'll say it is. Law of Supply And Demand Railroads are not charities. They are money makers. Therefore, the law of supply and demand is helping the "Jim crew" situation more than resolutions and protests. First, there are busses, there are becoming splendid bus lines, owned and operated by Negroes for Negroes, in many sections. There is one line from Jacksonville to Miami. Pla, and there are no flue busses running Then, Negroes are owning cars that take them into the interior within 200 miles is merely like stepping out in the back yard. Hundreds use their cars going long distances that him at his own game. The "tim crow" car was made to humiliate the better class to separate the humber class.

Callaway VANIA AVENUE ON 10296 JACKSON-In loving remembrance of a wife and mother, ANNIE M. JACKSON, born June 26, 1925. Nobody knows our longings. But few have seen us weep. We shed our tears with an aching heart. Whole others are sound asleep. We often sit and think of you always. For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. God took her home—it was His will—and she suffered lots and mumured not. We watched her night and day. Until at last, with a broken heart, We husband and DAUGHTER, LOUISE HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER, LOUISE MANFIELD—A loving tribute of my mother, FRANCES MANFIELD, who died four years ago, January 10, 1923. No trembling sad farewell from her quivering lips was heard; the stream Was not by a ripple stirred. So low was her Master's call That is did not reach our ears; But she heard the sound of her loving And she was full of joy, no tears. O, mother, smile on us from heaven Ask God to guide us on through life And thus avoid the worldly strife. Sometimes, some day our eyes will see Mother's face we loved so well: Someone's hands will be clapped in cures And never may farewell. By her devoted husband and children. PAGE—in memory of my dear husband, BENJAMIN PAGE, who died on January 4, 1923. Gave God to each and every one A blessing from above. Oh, what could he have given me? And his my husband and wife.

Sleep in peace, dear Mary weeping away, You are gone, but not forgotten As we think of you each day. By her loving parents, sister and By her loving parents, sister and brothers. TWINE—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother, MARTIA H. who departed this life January 6, 1822. Sleep in peace dear mother, MARTIA H. You are gone but not forgotten. As I think of you each day. By her devoted daughter, ROSA M. REID. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, daughter and sister, who departed this life Jan. 6, 1928. We remember her year ago. In sorrow and deep distress. You left this world of sorrow and woo. And want to the haven of rest. We miss you more than tongue can tell. We know that God does all things well, and we must obey his will. By your children, MABLE and JOHN EARL STOXES, MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. IN MEMORIAM Estella L. Ray JANUARY 4th, 1925 FAMILY.

"In one rally, the people paid $15,000. Since then they have built a Centennial building at a cost of $400,000, making Florida the only district with such a structure. They have also erected a boy's dormitory, an annex to the girl's dormitory, a science and an episcopal residence of teachers, and an episcopal residence on a two-acre plot of ground. $200,000 Building "On Oct. 8, 1925 was dedicated the B. F. Lee Seminary," continued the prelate, "at a cost of $200,000, not a cent of which was borrowed. In additional to this, my pleas for an educated minister of 600 at the summer School for Ministers, at Edward Slater College. The College was inspected during the summer of 1925." B. T.

On the one hand it points out the broad democratic opportunity that is stimulating the Negro people to achievement in the several countries measured by the best of our national standards. In the next place these awards are revealing to white people generally what discerning eyes may have seen heretofore—that Negro Americans have talent to achieve in the many fields which make up our life today. They will undoubtedly help the world to expect Negroes to achieve and to readily accord them merited reward. Such a day as this is another step toward that new emancipation from the mutual cooperation for such distinguished achievement as will be of lasting service to civilization."

Pronto' GRIPLETS For Grippe and Colds 25¢ HOMICIDES SHOW INCREASE DURING 1926 25 More Violent Deaths Recorded Than Took Place In 1925 TWO ARE EXECUTED ON THE GALLOWS Isaac Benson Asked Judge For Death Sentence Following Trial Homicides thruoghout the city during the year 1926 made a decided increase over the previous year and ended with 69 persons meeting an untimely death, 25 more than were killed the year before according to a survey of Municipal records this week. Of this number 40 were colped all of which, with the exception of two, were killed with malicious intent, and met their death through attacks with weapons. The records reveal that 29 of the last numped group were shot to death, 8 were stabbed two hurting by having been stuck with a lighted lamp and one choked. Two Die On Gallows Two Die On Gunshots The most revoltous in the year which enveloped the death of three, the double murder perpetrated by Isaac Benson, who cut his sweetheart's throat then shot her lover to death. Benson was also hanged in the Maryland Pentitary when he requested that he be sent to the gallows when arraigned for trial. He was one of the only two persons to be condemned to death during the year, the other was Richard Reese Whittimore, white bandit. There was the difference of one week between the two hangings. The next outstanding tragedy of the year was the rampage of Vanessa, the shell-shocked war veteran, who endangered the lives of persons in the Northwestern section with a brace of guns, wounding eight and killing two Northwestern District patrolmen before he was himself shot to death by officers. One of the murders that the police were unable to get clues was the mysterious murder of Belle Bishop, a woman of whom the police could learn little, who was shot in the head by an unknown assailant as she was muking a purchase in a small corner store. The woman had her back turned to the entrance but faced the counter when a bullet came through the display window and struck her in the base of the skull, killing her instantly. The only clue was a small hole in the window, which was not even cracked. The only eye-witness, was a white woman 90 years of age, who was so shocked by the damage that she lost memory. Arrests were made all over the country but the mystery is still unsolved. Flapper Murderess Vergie Brooks, a young girl of 18, years, went on record as the youngest female slayer when she shot her lover, Harry Fisher, to death after their return from a week's orgy in a seaside hotel, and he jilted her for another woman. The year closed with one of the most horrible tragedies on record when on Christmas night, Mrs. Amelia General a woman "saw" a bloodied dog and led the police to the conclusion that the woman had been first murdered and then set on fire.
