"Three years prior to the present case," reports Mr. Rice, "a case in involving this issue arise in a section of the city presumably Negro but declared white at the instance of white people and fined and a group of Negroes at once raised $1,500 for defense and employed attorneys. City officials never brought the case to trial and the tenant was never forced to move. "It might be of interest to the association to know that another case is being made to draft a state-wide segregation ordinance and the representatives are being approached for their views on the question. The measure is one in five which have to be likely to raise amenable question which will be state-wide in its extent." Commenting on the above report, James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A.

VICTOR TALKING MACHINE COMPANY Page Three EQUAL CHANCE FOR ALL RACES SAY STUDENTS 2500 In National Conference Vote For Newest, Broadest Creed HOWARD PRESIDENT PRINCIPAL SPEAKER "Keeping Races In Their Places" Gets Only Eleven Votes MILWAUKEE, W I S.—Gathered here in a great national conference recently twenty-five hundred boys and girls, representing every state in the Union and hundreds of institutions, gave earnest consideration to the question of race relations, and on the final day by almost unanimous vote adopted the following: "I am willing to give to the members of every race the same opportunities that I have." The opposite view was then submitted—"Regarding some races as inherently inferior to my own, I favor keeping them in the "n"—and received only eleven votes. On a previous day Dr. Mordeckal Johnson, President of Howard University, had delivered an address and conducted an open forum on the role of the university in group discussions in which the whole conference participated. Dr. Johnson made a very favorable impression, as did also Rev. Howard Thurman, president of Ohio, who was another subject. At no previous conference of like character had the delegates gone so far in their thinking about race, or reached conclusions so liberal and so nearly unanimous. Among the delegates was a number of thirty-odd racial and national groups, including many Negro students. The hotels of the city were open to all delegates alike and the relationships between the delegates and the university uniformly considerate and cordial. Other subjects featured on the program were war and industry, but on these the conclusions, "I will not support any war," got 327 votes; "I am ready to support some wars" and "I will support any war that is declared by the authority of my country," got 95; While 356 stated that they were not ready to commit themselves. On the question of industry only thirty-eight went on record as favoring the existing capitalistic system, the present competitive economic order, based on production for profit than for use, is wrong; 582 thought the present system should be displaced by a cooperative distributive system and a method of production in which the workers should be supported and went on record as favoring communism; 385 declared that students should support the efforts of organized labor. $5.00 NECKLACE COST HAITIANS $8,000,000 NEW YORK.—$6.00 string of bauleis, baulein pearls, launched Haiti into a financial venture which will in the end cost her people more than $8,000,000 which was the amount necessary for an important intervention in 1916, according to Paul H. Douglass writing in the current issue of the Nation. In 1900 an American advertiser named James P. McDonald came to Haiti and by bribing the members of the company a concession for the National railway and also a concession of 20 kilometers of land on either side of the railroad for a growing of tropical fruit. He also bribed the president Antoine Simon but the latter delayed the McDonald went to the president's daughter, Colestine, and promised her a costly string of pearls if she would induce her father to sign. In 1914, said Douglass, Haiti found it had three disconnected pearls, one of 60 miles another of 20 and another short snout of 28. Douglas obtained mony to build the railroad from foreigners and charged for his work at the rate of $0,000,000 each section of the railroad over difficult country and mountains were never completed and the bonds got into the hands of unscrupulous bankers, some of them Americans, who since 1870 have been intervened have extorted from Haiti the sum of $8,000,000 for this disconnected railroad.

He was at once a pug and a gentleman. A fierce beast in the ring and without a gentle lamb with manner that made him look like a monkey. He was famous and unassuming. He was a man among men but never grew up. Joe possessed intelligence far above the fifth grade. He loved to see others enjoy themselves sometimes paying for their enjoyment but was himself not EAST STREET It was at old East Street where Joe got his learning. There policeman, the six foot tall man, sat all day near the door to protect the teachers. Ther were no colored teachers at old East Street Department of Education after a half day's trial in that institution lost all inclination to make teaching their profession. There that Mr. Henry Griffon Brown, on his first day as principal of the school, collected two quarters of razors, and some guns. HELL'S KITCHEN In the back was that portion of the "Red Light District" known as Hell's Kitchen. The licensed house of prostitution (girrished and people thought twice before they went to Low Street, Chestnut Street and Forest. Out front was the street old Belair lot which served as the Circus Ground and where Joe won the lot. The ground was also a threeroom of East Baltimore. There, too, Joe took his first experience as a sand lot baseball player with the first rate mil man at first base. On that lot Joe took part in some of the gang fights and fought and ran sometimes when things got too hot to beat any of the gang throwing stones. WHERE JOE FOUHT Joe was found to be a good drawing card around the cellar boxing clubs and old man Bond, his employer Joe Bauer, who was in the Space, became Joe's first manager, Ai Herford who kept the "Three-Cent Jinny", a saloon where you could get a full glass of liquor for three cents (which he would have having money enough and pull enough soon brought the young fighter to the front. Many of his early lights around the city were amplifiers on the outskirts of the city. This was a big barn-like structure capable of holding about 500. Many of his later lights were fitted with amplifiers. There the German Choral Society met and sang and drank foaming scuttes of beer and ate an lumberjane cheese and Joe was a jolly good fei- It was there that Joo fought the fight with the tough Irishman from the Marshall Farham, the chief of police (they called him then), to prevent mixed bucks in the city. That fight was a grudge fight. Joe had fought the police in the first round, but because the fans grumbled because they got so little for their money. Joe steppeed back and let his opponent get up and fight. Joe stepped him out during the next 15 rounds and "Whitle" went the limit. A' GRUDGE FIGHT Then "White" bragged and with justification because few stayed 15 rounds with Joe. Another fight was arranged in which Joe offered him a chance to fight four. That was big money then and the place was packed and jammed because the fans knew that Joe meant business. When the end of the fourth round came, Joe was aggrigated from his corner and held on. The gong was followed by another gong and still "White" was wabgly, waggy, but on his feet. The old master with all of his skill and courage aggrigated from his opponent until the police stopped the bout and after that colored boxes and white boxes were not permitted to fight in Baltimore until recently. COCK FIGHTS AND CRAZE FIGHTS I measures about 10 feet, coming about different from what they are today. Cock fights are an interesting but unlawful sport. Down a Shell Road (so named because it was built of oyster shells) which is now known as a popular place for such contests. These fights being prohibited by law were not advertised, but persons known to have a stiff upper lip were named in the lists of the owners of the game cocks were not known even to the promoters themselves and many nights the owners would sweep down and raid the place, taking 25 to 50 prisoners. Dancing was not as popular then as the promoord or the cake walk and when on swen occasions, they were Paul and Center Streets for a cake walk contest and the whole town turned out. This hall owned by a white man by a full brass band was very stable, was the big noise in those days. The jazz band was unheard of then and a full brass band furnished the most popular band the best of today's Charleston was "saving your partner" then. The barbarian twist of the modern dance could not be compared with big Bill Barrett with his partner on his arm strutted from ten to two and carcled off the prize. The modestly dressed, mingled with his friends and laughed and danced and no one knew unless they asked that he was the Call Vernon 6016 RUTH WHITEHEAD WHALEY Washington, D. C.—If the federal government has the power to imprison, because of a riotous uprising, why cannot similar action be taken in communities where law precludes, was the point Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whale, of New York, laid before the judge at the White House last week. The president admitted the suggestion was a new one, which he considered by the president recalled that while him in connection with lyching, he was vice president, senators opposing the Dyer Bill filibustered for days. The president defended that justice had not been allowed to take the man who were lynched in Alken, S. C., and said that no one is more conceived of as a victim than the man on the country's history. "If we can't protect colored people," the president said, "we can't protect anybody." Haley was Prof. S. R. Williams who presented to the president a resolution adopted by a mass protest on April 19th which called on the president to enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments with the same vigor as the 18th, and that the protest would be followed by the exigencies of the circumstances demand, making it impossible for a protestor to resist the whims of a blood-thirsty group of fiends. COPS NEWEST STUNT CLOSING DANCE HALL CALLED TOO CROWDED The "Charleston Shleks" who promoted the largest dance affair witnessed in Baltimore in quite some time, were bitterly assailed by the Fans when Fletcher Henderson and His Roseland Ballroom Orchestra failed to appear here, Monday night. When seen by a reporter of the AFRO-AMERICAN, the promoters stated that Henderson had been consulted prior to the distribution of the advertisement, and had agreed to send a second band, but at the last moment had reurned the deposit stating that it was impossible to fill the engagement. Percy Glascoe and his Plantation orchestra, a local organization, were engaged to vie with Henderson. This created an unusual interest, as Percy and his boys have worked up a following that believe the "Plantation Boys" are the equal of any dance orchestra. The Glascoe band being made up of musicians that have had long Broadway engagements and are well versed in music is believed to be a real rival for Henderson. Force Not Implicated Percy himself was not implicated in the promotion of the affair, as he had always loved, but was simply hired to fill the night's engagement. The real promoters of the dance in the city were those in the lobby that only Percy Glasscoe had appeared and it was up to them as to whether they cared to go in. But twourns were hired all at the music of Glasscoe and his boys were enjoyed as much as if Henderson had appeared. At 10 P.M., the hall was filled to its capacity with a crowd steadily moving in and others leaving. Overcrowded Auditorium. At the police information promoters, they would have to be closed as the crowd was way above the maximum capacity. The lire of the crowd was accrued, but no disturbance was raised, the ladies and gentlemen marching in an orderly manner to the check room, then to pass into the streets. So tremendous was the crowd estimated at 1800 that for a period of 30 minutes people flowed from the Public Not Fooled "We did not fool the public," says Henderson before we advertised and know if it could have been avoided. I appointed the people of Baltimore." DEDICATE KNIGHTS OF ST. JOHN'S HALL The new Knights of St. John hall, was dedicated with impressive service served by Charles Carrord officiated Sunday.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Hard Luck Is Good Luck Just Sometimes Hard Luck Is Good Luck Just Sometimes He had looked for work but luck was against him. He had tried everything he knew to make a living honestly but it was always failure that came at the end of his efforts. Back home at 101 East street, the wolf was at the door and he couldn't go back and tell those four little tots that he had nothing to give them. They wouldn't understand how it was that he couldn't get food when there was plenty in the markets on the stalls. They saw it, and the kids next door seemed to have all they wanted and even the stay dog that they had petted seem sleek and fat. He couldn't look his wife in the eye and tell her that he had failed. That's why Andrew Henderson took the loaf of bread from the doorstep of Mrs. Lillian White, white, in the 700 block of East Fayette street. Hard luck that seemed to be stalking him was close at hand in the form of a policeman and he was locked up for larceny. Henderson was desperate. They lined him up with the other prisoners and arraigned him before the magistrate in the Central Police Station. Sure he had stolen the bread; they caught him with the goods; there was no way out. He hung his head and waited for the worse. But the magistrate was kind, he listened to his story. Mrs. White listened to his story and when he was done, she told him to come go home with her and she would give him food to carry home. And as he walked down the aisle of the courtroom, attorneys who had heard his story slipped coins in his hand. At 101 East street, when he came in loaded down with food and saw the smiles on those little hungry faces he was glad. They did not asq where it came from, they only knew that daddy had brought home something to eat and thats what daddies are for anyway. But their mother could look behind that smile that covered his ebony face and see that something had happened. $100,000 Afro Suit Argued Before Court Of Appeals ANNAPOLIS, MD—The case of R. R. Wright, Sr., R. R. Wright, Jr., and Lillian M. Wright, individually and as partners, in a private corporation called Citizens Banking Company, was argued before the Court of Appeals of Maryland today. W. Ashie Hawkins represented the plaintiffs and McGunn the McGunn the WKEK. Tuesday This is a label suit brought against the AFRO for damages in the sum of $100,000 because of the 1924, in which the plaintiff claimed that their Banking business had been grossly labelled. This case was twice before the Superior Court of Baltimore City, where the plaintiff filed the AFRO attorney, Mr. McGulen and each time the demurrows were sustained. Finally the plaintiff pleaded and took aimed to the Court of Appeals. The points urged by Mr. McGuinn before the Court this morning were: That in the event of a fatal error to unite in one suit different individual parties; that from the very nature of the wrong, it must of necessity be a separate suit; that wrong done to one is no wrong to the other; that the extent of damages done to the one may be wholly different from that done to the other; that the damages partnership jointly the damages which the jury may award will be limited to the injury done to the business; if the suits are by the court will recover in proportion to the injury sustained by him individually; the measure of damages being the ordinary one for such personal wrongs. The suit results from the publication of an article in the AFRO containing the proceeding of an action filed in the court of Common Pleas No. 10 of Philadelphia, City of Southern Bank and Trust Co, was the defendant and in which receivers were asked for the Trust Company. The AFRO claims that under the law these court proceedings con- The Court will hand down its decision on the principle of perpetuity, principles of law. In spite of the cold, Sunday morning saw a splendid gathering at Union for the purpose of participating in the farewell meeting for the Bears. The program was programmed to preach the morning serenity, but owing to a breakdown driving over from Washington, he did not reach us till after the service. The pastor proclaimed instead, Both Dr. Dennis and Dr. Evan at the evening service. In all it was a splendid day, giving emphasis to the concern in which the congregation is coming to regard the work of Foreign Missions. The Sunday school also saw a large attendance and the primary department of course was somewhat depleted in attendance because of the weather. The silver buttons were on hand and those who were without break. Easter Sunday included the incidents of this beautiful badge for the quarter. At the close of the year, for perfect attendance the faithful ones will receive a badge of solid gold. It is surprising how the strong others has helped attendance. The revival meetings are to be in order next Sunday morning. The treat for the congregation and ministry is to have Susan Jenkins, Miss Kennedy is without doubt the sweetest contralto voice now in singing evangelism. We are confident that service amongst us. The meetings will continue each night and on Sundays till the 6th of February. All are welcome. Mrs. Bannerjee leaves this week for engagement in Philadelphia on the 23rd and another in Brooklyn on the 30th she will sail next day to begin operations for the Lott Care Board on the 31st and is determined to do its share in support of this work.

Therefore, the public generally reminded unaware of their estrangement. New Business Manager One of the things people here point to concerns the building, supervising and equipping of the new building, and men. Malone's refusal to work after he lost his stock led to the employment of Rev William H. Pec as manager, and Annabel and Joseph Evans and Edgar McDaniel joined the executive staff, the latter continuing yet as office manager. Mr. Malone is the claimed, however, owner of the building, and proudly shared the honor and credit. Mr. Malone is also charged, according to those sources with becoming the owner, to discredit her, sowing discord among the feminine employees, causing their insubordination and consequent loss of their jobs. Mr. Malone is being "hard to get along with." Lose Liberty Bonds In 1924, $10,000 of Liberty Bonds disappeared from the safe to which Mr. Malone had the combination.

She returned Friday and gave a version of the affair. The dailies have been equally as generous. Broke When Married "Everything he has is the result of my effort," she said. "Every penny in the business is mine, and every dollar is mine. I passed judgment on everything. It was my effort that started Poro College, and it was my job. When I married Mr. Malone in 1914 he did not have a cent. He was just a teacher in a second rate school where the old tribute to the manager of Poro College" I gave him as a matter of courtesy, because he was my husband, and because I wanted to soothe his vanity and make the best of an embarrassing situation. This is my reward. The greatest sin I think is the one of inscrutitude. No. 50-50 Malone in his suit has contended that the institution was a 50-50 proposition and that it had a present scope "When I married Mr. Malone," said his wife, "the business was well established, the age was right, and the large manufacture on Pine Street, and had made money. The money which I have made, however, has come from seeking money alone, but working on the theory that through cleanliness and good appearance the institution can attain recognition and respect. I have to help my people." Malone Mysterious Mr. Malone in his bill contended that his wife treated him with scorn and contempt and excluded him from her social functions, but his wife says: "I could never quite understand what a very mysterious and never seemed to take much interest in the business. He went in for polo, got on the bus, and had an idea he was going to be a political power. "It fizzed out. One day with no explanation. He moved across the hall.

He later explained what he meant by prevarication by using "the more famous Immediately upon his taking seat, the Rev. Mr. Luck rose after considerable general discussion as to continuing such prevarication iterated the charge, stating that he had quoted the exact words of the Rev. Mr. Hicks, and called up the judge to decide to be heeded by witnesses who so heard the statement. The reference, however, decided to tour without taking any further action on the matter, comprising the Rev. W. Winston, Rev. D. Bryant and the Luke Reynolds, was appointed to look into the matter and take action the conference could take. The order of the day included what proved to be a stirring season by the Rev. F. W. Black, Union University graduate and pastor of Virginia. In his summer, the Rev. Mr. Black charged that vice and wrong doing seem to be replacing virtue and satirizing and that questionable women stand a better chance for preferment to our institutions than those who follow the straight and narrow path.

Connor Tells Forum Race Requires Some Training As Whites That our group may need a deeper insight into the philosophy of race, the capability do not need a type of education different from that needed by other races, was the emphatic declaration of Miles Connor, principal of the Open Poli Normal School at the Open Forum at Bethel A. M. E. Church, last Sunday afternoon. Professor Connor's subject was the philosophy of Education 7. He traced the development of various theories concerning the Negro ability to be educated and scholars of who had claimed to be dead that colored people had the same capacity for learning as other people. One of these, Victor Coules, a late gro writer, claimed that education of his race had failed had not populated any leaders of character. Mr. Coules argued that philosophy of education was needed "The aim of modern education, said Professor Connor, "is to it the individual to lead a life of the greatest usefulness in the society, and this education is the same for the Negro as for any other." In the course of his remarks the speaker attacked the conclusion announced by intelligence test ports, who claim to have found evidence of information in the school information office. Discussion from the floor was lively. R. Maurice Moss of bunlun League, W. C. C. Edwin Briscoe, and Ossie Thomas, correspondent for Amsterdam News supersites. made Thomas stirred some excitement when he criticised rather sharply the lack of control poor discipline with claimed were spots of Baltimore children. He stated that conduct of children on the streets of Baltimore, could not be compared with that of other cities in New York. An excellent musical program was rendered by an orchestra composed of alumni and a glee club of young ladies, students of the same school. Both organizations were under the direction of Aida Killen. Super Musle Dr. Sylvester, Assistant Superintendent of Schools in charge of Vocational Education, will be the speaker. McDaniels, chairman of the Forum, outlined the plan of the campaign to be started in the for a new school for the city's Scholar Fund. It is hoped that the citizens of Baltimore will raise this amount to be placed in trust. From the income, it is planned to scholarships for the need of assistance to develop their talents.

J. H. Taylor in a sermon at Fulton Baptist Church, which was the only recessions made to the recent disturbances in which police were forced recently to quell a near riot at the pastorial election, Sunday. While an undercurrent of dissent is quite apparent in the church and electioneering and but tohoeling is much in evidence at the church, the services of the church are in no wise affected and proceed as usual. The custom in vogue since the death of the pastor, The Rev. D. G. Willis, of calling pastors from the church, has carried out Sunday and the Rev Mr. Taylor delivered the sermon. Deacon W. H. Johnson, who has been a member of the church since 1905 told an AFRO reporter that he has suffered much embarrassment from the articles appearing in a recent issue as many mistake him for the Deacon Johnson who was reported to have attacked John W. Johnson. He then heated debate at the election meeting which terminated in a light Thursday. This was Deacon Walter Johnson, he said, a member who has been appointed to the board since the death of the pastor. A new election is slated for Thursday, January 20th. The Johnson choir leader who had the Deacon Walter Johnson arrested after the assault declared that new developments are likely to occur at this meeting.

The Indian names were retained in the founding of Tatums, Mantu, and Tallahassee, Oklahoma. That state leads with 14 towns and settlements governed exclusively by colored people. Of these Boley is the largest with a population of 3,000. Garveyism may have effected the selection of New Africa as the name of a little settlement in Mississippi.

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

DIVISION OF ESTATE CAUSES FAMILY ROW Father Pitted Against Daughters In Court Fight Over Furniture Distribution GIRLS TOOK PROPERTY WITHOUT HIS CONSENT Henry Williams, 60, Says Home Was Stripped After Death Of Wife A family row, the outgrowth of a too hurried distribution of the estate of Mrs. Henry Williams, resulted in her husband having his three daughters and a grand son arranged in the Northwestern where he requested their arrest on a charge of larceny of the household effects Monday. Williams told the magistrate that immediately following his wife's death his daughters Mrs. Alverna Curtis, and Agnes Ross sent the son of the latter, Oliver Ross, to his dining room suite, kitchen effects and parlor furniture without his knowledge. Mrs. Williams died on January 5, after a short illness. He declared that the property was his and demanded that the daughters be forced to return the things they had taken. He also declared that the grandson, a boy of 18, had been taken into custody and taken his horse and wagon with which he removed the furniture. Mrs. Curtis in her own defense declared that she moved the furniture to keep the father from selling it for. While her mother was sick he began selling pieces of furniture out of the house and a kitchen cabinet listed among the things he had owned from him had been sold to a Jewish furniture man, but because the piece had not been fully paid for she had been sold to another home and the items was ill the daughter was forced to have her father arrested on a charge of non support.

The city's Department of Charity reports its inability to secure sufficient beds, particularly for On the basis of population about one-seventh of the beds in the city should be availible for the poor and those who do not take into consideration the fact that the death and consequently the vires of second illness are the greatest for the whites. But what is the situation? Accurate figures are difficult to obtain for several reasons chief of which are: (4) The number of beds available varies from time to time. In epidemics the hospitals often set up extra beds not ordinarily used, for example. Some hospitals which do not ordinarily take colored patients, will do so in an emergency; particularly in cases of acetylneuroneal disease, most complete count yet made was completed by the Mayor's Hospital Commission in the Fall of 1926. The above shows that of the 32 hospitals listed only 15 will even receive colored patients. This situation is further complicated, from the cerebrovascular disease, by only six of the beds are private, except the indefinite number at Sydenham. No matter what the financial standing of the ill Nigrohe, or she, must enter the open Leaving out of consideration the number of beds in Sydenham for which the age of 65 beds accounted for by (a), (b), (c) and (c) in TABLE XIV above there are 3572 available for the 65 beds and 523 Negro patients. There is thus one bed for each 191 whites resident in the city and one bed for each 226 whites in the city and one bed for the record for the colored people on a par with that for the whites 611 beds would be needed. i. e. 3572. Two Accept Physicians Among the hospitals which receive colored patients, only two West Baltimore and one New York that the colored physician may receive clinical instruction in their institution is the one which states that the colored physician may attend their patients in the hospital, but not ALL charity patients and, of course, are treated by the hospital staff. Replies were not received from the Colonial Mercy, and Sydenham to two questions. The West Baltimore General is the only one that seems to provide special accommodations for patients with veneral diseases. St. Joseph's is one of the states that急病馆的 cases are taken care of the Hopkins takes care of a limited number of cases where other conditions complicated by veneral diseases indicate a need for above hospitals have accommodations for tubercular patients, though the Hopkins receives patients suffering from tuberculosis if complicated with other diseases but, in such cases the patients Penryton For the care of the tubercular patient there are two institutions, one of which is City Hospitals (Bay View), has a children's ward and a school class under the Board of Education. Education is administered at Henryton, Maryland, is a tuberculosis sanitarium with about 110 beds available. On April 15, 1926, there were 100 beds in this list, and the men's ward was full and there were ten on the waiting list. The unoccupied beds were in the women's ward and could not be used. This institution is most modernly equipped but is inadequate the face of the existing hospital situation it cannot provide capacity it not hope to do more than care for the worst cases. Moreover this institution is for the entire State and thus only a part of beds are really available to Battl- Recently the building on Division Street near McMechen, formerly the site of the Union Protestant Institute, was taken in order to organize and will shortly be opened at the New Provident Hospital. This will have a total of about 60 beds for general hospital use. Since it is part of the present Provident Hospital on Biddle Street when the move to Division Street is made, the actual gain in the number of beds for colored patients will be about $10,000. Dr. White A private hospital operated by Dr. White on Madison Avenue has beds for 20, most of them devoted to maternity cases. The rest of the colored crippled child are available at the Children's Hospital School but the medical director, Dr. Bear, estimates that at least 30 such are needed.

Nazarene who never taught the people to shout, but emphasized living as the test of Christianity, there are some who believe that the shouting brand of religion is superior to the more quiet kind, but certain observations have opened their eyes, therefore, shouting is not so popular as in other days. The observations have demonstrated these facts. The most persistent shouters are not always the most consistent persons, that, as a general rule these shouters are high-tempered and will get angry almost as quickly as they will get happy. The most persistent shouters are among the most sensitive people of the church: that they are "touchy," or easily offended, especially concerning the shouters. That the most class are "checked up," more disagreements PASTORS PRAY FOR ILL MEMBER PASTORS PRAY FOR ILL MEMBER Special prayers were recited at the A. M. E. Minister's Meeting Monday for Rev.

That many of these shouters and noisy demonstrators are often accused of dishonesty in the church finances. 6. That many, very many of them, are weak in the matter of sex morality. 7. That they of the shouting fraternity are often very lax in meeting their church obligations. The conclusion is not that these shouters are hypocrites and are shouting to hide their defective lives, but that they are very emotional and are deceived to believing that what they feel is always the touch of the Holy Spirit when it is simple, elemental emotion, such as would cause them to cheer for a winner in a baseball game, or for one who had accomplished some special thing. These same people would weep as readily at a show as they would in church. It would be foolish, unfair and disastrous to deal harshly with these people and to ridicule them as some ministers do. A better plan and a more kindly way would be to teach them and help them to understand what Christianity is, and thus help them to live more consistent lives. KEEP READING PAPERS SAYS BISHOP CHARLOTTE, N. C.-ANP—Outlining a program for the New Year in his address before the citizens of this city, Bishop W. J. Walls urged his hearers to support education and interpersonal enterprises, encourage education and work for interacial goodwill. "No Negro, declared the Bishop, does not have Negro magazines and newspapers coming to his home weekly. The newspapers occupy a place that makes the Negro press the most potent force in public conscience. They fight out battles, hold up our ideals, plead our cause before the world, articulate race spirit and enterprise, keep the fires of religion on our airs of arts and science. If you could strike the Negro press and its work from us, we would be a better nation on our airs of arts and science, or take the air out of religion."

FEDER EISENBERG’S COMMITTEE TABLES PLAN FOR $1,000,000 HOSPITAL Saturday, Jan. 22, 1927 CITY HOSPITAL PLAN KILLED BY COMMITTEE Mayor's Body Agrees On Aid To Provident Hospital Instead HOSPITAL PROPOSED WOULD COST MILLION Plan Is Ideal Solution Say Members, But Not Practical Now A Municipal hospital is ideal, but not practical was the verdict of the Mayor's committee considering the question of a municipal hospital for colored people, Friday. The Committed manned by Mayor Jackson, which has been at work for several months, reported that $250 additional hospital beds for colored people needed. Such a hospital created in the city would cost $1,500,000 to build and $375,000 annually to maintain. It would also require a larger staff of colored physicians than is available. The committee recommended that the city should the new Provident Hospital be a preparation for the present and make the start for a municipal hospital later. Dr. Rowland White, chairman, told of visits to colored hospitals in Freedman's is fine, clean and efficient. He was pleased to learn that colored people could conduct a big hospital plant so efficiently. Atlanta Dirty Grady's Hospital, Atlanta, he said, run by whites for colored was dirty, body kept and poorly administered. The proposal "not only would create a million municipal hospital but would add 4 cents to the tax rate was passed over the objection of Dr. Wp. J. Wright who said a million was too small amount if It would save Dr. Ernest Lyon said the city would spend two millions on colored school uniforms at the next loan. The education wouldn't do him much good if he were dead meanime because of lack of a hospital. Chairman Rowland made him that the city should begin in small key at Providence and after adding up a staff and putting over the hospital to consider the larger project. Mayor Jackson told the committee, he would "go the limit" in City President Hospital. Committee MEMBERS of the Mayor's Committee include: Mayor Jackson, Dr. J. Rockland, chr. Judge Jos. N. Ulman, Carl Murphy, J. Steward Jos. Dr. Ernest Lyon, John L. Alcec, H. S. McCrad, Dr. C. Hampson, Ms. J. K. Kobler and E. Mil- Resolution Resolution Judge Williams' resolution as adopted read: RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this Committee that at present no hospital for colored people be built in city but that, as far as as is possible, every encounter should be given the institutional hospital organization in establishing a hospital at former Union Memorials by the assignment of City by direct appropriation by any other method open to the City of Baltimore and the City of Maryland to provide service for the free colored patients as the hospital can accommodate the training for colored medicals-training for colored nurses and private rooms to pay for Colored people. 250 Beds Needed 1. We find that a hospital with a bad capacity of at least 100 beds is care of all covered patients needing hospitalization, excluding the tubercular and Cost a Million 2. The cost of building such a hospital, with necessary equipment and nurses' home, would cost not less than $1,500,000, but the cost of maintenance on the hospital would be added on the hospital in Baltimore, would be not less than $75,000, to $400,000 yearly, which would add to the cost after deducting the probable income from private patients, about 4½ City Property 3. Such a hospital would necessarily be built either on present property or on purchased land while it would meet all the requirements set forth, our previous report would present difficulty and expense for recruitment for remote points, as the actual population is widely scattered. It would be hampered too in the matter of dispensing service, one of the major pids to hospital efficiency and without which much of the effectiveness of observation and accident cases of illness certainly be increased because of great disarray. Three Kinds of Staffs Proposed Three Kinds of Staff Propose 4. The method of appointment of its staff must be difficult.

We find that the governing body of the Provident hospital, already established and operated by colored people, has taken over the buildings formerly occupied. This will be the Union Memorial increased space-private rooms—nursing quarters—and the opportunity for the establishment of a dispensary in the very heart that part of the city is colored people. This fulfills all the requirements of our first report, all the necessary number of beds. This deficiency can be taken care of by established hospitals, who are now satisfactorily taking care of these cases. Union Memorial We understand, further, that the Union Memorial buildings are to be turned over to the Provident Depot for the visiting staff of the Provident hospital shall be subject to the approval of a committee of white physicians shall consider a staff of colored physicians capable of conducting the hospital without assistance. This provision will ensure that the possible staff which can be selected from the colored physicians in Baltimore, and moreover, will probably find a place for them in colored colleges in Baltimore.

Don't bring references and I mean it! SPECIAL STORAGE RATES First Class Service Third of a series of articles on the administration of Douglass High School by an alumnus of the school. No doubt, one reason for Mason Hawkins' failure in the Douglass High School has been his inability to get along with people. As a result, his administration is handicapped, because he is unable to secure the enthusiastic cooperation of most of his teachers. Likewise, he has failed to secure the confidence of the school's patrons and the colored citizens at large. The first fact is not hard to explain. The following incident gives a cue. During the Christmas recess of the school year 1919-1920 Professor Hawkins introduced Dr John M. Gandy, president of the Petersburg Normal and Industrial institute, to the Maryland Colored Teachers Association meeting in Baltimore. He referred to Dr Gandy as a brilliant educator, who had risen from the rank of a "more teacher" to be head of the institution. Mere Teacher Needless to say, it was impolite to refer to a "mere teacher" in an audience that contained several hundred such individuals. It would have been bad enough, if it had been better. If that had been too obtuse to notice the chilling silence, with which this egregious blunder was received. Instead of trying to cover up his mistake, he repeated that he had been too obtuse to notice the insignificant position of a "mere teacher" but now held the exalted position of principal. He simply had to call attention to his own meteoric rise through the degrees of office, to the school. Such neglect buffoony has characterized the whole of Mason Hawkins' administration, which loses opportunities to belittle the teachers and make them appear insignificant. It is not really consulted about most things concerning the administration of the High School. The faculty as a whole is simply expected to maintain and satisfy the decisions of the principal and his administrative council. Not Popular Then, it is not hard to understand why, with the exception of the department heads, and a few favorites expecting promotion, Mr. Hawkins is not popular with the Douglas community, but he has not that whole-hearted, enthusiastic cooperation of his teaching staff, which is so necessary to the success of any school. Mr. Hawkins' unpopularity with the patrons of the school and with the faculty of the university, the attitude of superiority (Ubermenschlichkei) and has had even worse consequences for him. Patrons think he is unbisholic. They think he is trying to be a one-horse aristocrat, instead of attempting to understand. For example, of course, he has not been able to get along this way. His miserable failure in handling the Par- MR. CARTER I DON'T WANT I STAND ready to pay sincere man or work with any furniture ple promise to pay. D and I mean it! 6-Pc.

Association and his frequent rows with parents are conclusive proof of his unpopularity. Common People To speak plainly, Mr. Hawkins acts as if common people had an odor disagreeable to him. Such a principal cannot function anywhere, and should not be tolerated. An Olympian aloofness and false sense of superiority are no traits of a successful person. Such an attitude certainly unifies a man holding an executive position in the public schools. Being efficient on the job's only one of the qualifications of a success school executive. He must be a man capable of getting along in a community and harmonizing his school with it. The principal of the Doughlass High School meets neither requirement. His tactlessness in dealing with teachers makes it impossible for him to run efficiently. He must be unaware of superiority keeps him selling it to the community it is supposed to serve. Dwight Holmes One example of this unpopularity is evidenced in the long line of teachers who have resigned from Doughtus High school and sought elsewhere. Some of them were Baltimoreans and preferred to accept lower pay here than higher pay elsewhere, but they could not get along with Mr. Hawkins. Of them was Dwight O. W. Holmes, one time vice principal under Mr. Hawkins. When Dr. Warling resigned the principalship sought and benefited by being the Washington High School force. He saw no future here under the superior theory of directing schools. In Washington he rose through Continued on Galley 21. He called finally to the registrar's post later to dean of the school of education at Howard. Dwight Holmes "knows his stuff" to use a common expression, but it does not give him a pain in the neck to meet the folks as one of them. Dave Houston Both Holmes and Dave Houston are members of the Boute, the powerful secret fraternity which fostered a meeting here recently and put the okay stamp on our school. That's about all they have in common though. Mr. Houston got busy as soon as Dr. Waring left too and besought Roscoe Bruce, then head of D.C. schools, to give him any kind of a post which would get him away from Mr. Boute. Baltimore, all the means as much to its members as a high sign to the Masons but these two boule men lost no time in leaving their fellow Boule. Principal Hawkins, to use any methods of running high schools he deserves, said a man meticulously. They left and left as they could without jeopardizing their future. Mr. Houston comes to Baltimore now sometimes. He teaches courses at Morgan in addition to holding down the principalship in strong schools. Washington, he has been a professor and head of the department of English at Howard University, and earned his A.M. at Howard.

Turner, now of Hampton Inst., more recently head of the department of biology at Howard and before that with Mrs. Miller, a teacher in Douglass HI. Doctor's Degree Since leaving here Dr. Turner earned his doctor's degree at Cornell and has added the government in extensive experiments with the potato. He looked forward to a career of teaching coupled with a professional association that would stimulate him to make advancement in and contribution to science. He found what he desired and applied it under Dr. J. H. N. Waring as principal, but when Mr. Hawkins succeeded him, Dr. Turner sought academic shelter elsewhere.

From A Woman's Viewpoint BY LILIAN LOTTIER Some More Prophecies The coming of each new year always loses a flood of predictions and prophecies of the happening of the future. Astrologers, seers, and those versed in reading signs of the times all come forth with prognostications of what will happen in the future. This race of ours, not of ours, has its Prophil Jones who does just as much predicting as the rest. More and more, the five peers live in the future and foresees disasters for New York in 1931. Well, I can't read the stars, don't understand, and prophecies of powers were denied me, but I can predict a very doubtful future for this race of ours if we don't soon wake up in a few very vital and important ones, is that much of our boasted religion is a joke, yes, we have the HILOCHOS, we have the stone buildings with spires pointing heavenward, beautiful stained glass windows, pine organs, vested chors, cloquent preachers, and many biblical churches. We sit comfortably in our cushioned pews, listen to able sermons, contribute to a bermuda triangle of entertainment for raising still more money, hold revival services and "exhorts" simmers to come and go. We are good oldfriends, walking in the footsteps of the Master. But that isn't the worst of it. We stage nails, health scams, novelties, and police law suits we have warring factions, who aren't a bit accustomed to intimidation and abuse. Prefachers fight laymen, and the WORLD LOOKS THE Negro is popularly supposed to be endowed with the religious instinct. If that is true, right now we have a restrained instinct, and there isn't much hope for him until he starts awe and learns it, over again what are the true principles of real Another fact we must wake up to is that we are wasting our money. Oh, know that everything costs us, that only the few at the top have incomes even half-way worthy the name. But the fact remains that we do not yet know the value of a doer. We are just like children in this respect. The little that we have seems so much to us who have little money, we proceed to spend right and left for anything that strikes our fancy. We haven't yet seriousness in our foundation upon which to insure our future as a race. We're just living in the present seeing no farther ahead than the end of our nues. And anybody knows that they are. — And we haven't any excuse—unless it is that of temperament. For right in our midst, side by side with us, is a race making good which has had as many handcare as we have had. We have their example day in and day out to follow but we keep right on in our happy-go-lucky, improvident way, "buying what we want and begging the white man for what we need." A third fact we must face—and the sooner, the better—is that we are only half-educated. And so vary few of us are cultured, that they don't count at all. Most of us don't realize that education is far more than getting back knowledge. It is the development of the man, putting him in right relationships with life as a whole. It is laughable what "finished products" we become just as we get a degree or two. Instead of just beginning to find out how little we know, we strut around with the air of being the repository of all the learning of the world. And this attitude is the death-knell of real education.

The other day, Miss Gertrude Lawrence, of New York City, exchanged some kisses by radio-phone with Jack Buchanan, in London, at the front of the train. More power to both of them. That kissing business over radio-phones will not bring it, because all who may be listening in would term as kissing the world. I prefer mine the usual way. I like to see who I'm kissing. How about it? Mr. Ernest Hardy, the noted "Shick" or Douglas Hirts, says, "It's a long Jane that has no curves." The nice thing about calling up the Siamese Twins, is that you do not have to ask if the other one is at home. Quite correct, eh, what? The Weather: Fair and Colder. Bob McCluney is out the city.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Beauty Hints BY NINA TEMPLE (Questions on beauty will be answered in this column each week by Mrs. Temple) Now that everybody is bobbing the hair, a woman must be more than ever alert with regard to her toilet. Sagging faces betray the welt of years, and unreelieved as they are often revealed, and stand revealed. However, this is easily remedied. There is magic in ice and every woman should hold to it as a never-falling ally. No day should be avoided without this rite of ice being coerced. First, do you know how to cleanse the face? Do not—listen! Cover the face with light, light, cleanwashing cream, working this into the pores. Then with some absorbent cotton, mop it off. Remember always to use an upward and effusive mouth. Then you are ready for the ice-tonic. Slip a small place into a bit of cheese-cloth, and run lightly and swiftly over the fact. There will follow a little process. The skin will close and tighten. Now for a finishing cream—almond cream is good. Let that dry and then you are ready for your唇膏 and rage. But beware of neglecting the toning up of the skin after each cleansing for in this lies the secret of the skin with contour that is so enjied in the young. Next week I will tell you how to rebuild a contour already broken by a very inexpensive device. Weekly Lessons In English Word Often Missed Don't say by the latter end of the month. "Omit "latter."

And to my surprise a few of them have enjoyed reading them. I seem to have made a lot of friends in a lot of now places. After all that is the important thing to me. If I have made any enemies, and I hope that has not been my aim. For I love people. Any kind of people. Singly and collectively. All of us. Friends. Friends seem to think I'm crazy because I say I love crowds. I do. I like to mingle with them, and study their facial expressions. I like to talk with them and learn about their lives. I'm constantly being amused by friends who need to and some of them require quite a quantification with the wash board, overalls or they who just simply CAWN'T stand crowds. Another friend asks about "that class of people". Some of our friends are talking about "our class of people", "our set". I can say "I shake with them". I shake with them. God forbid, that I should ever belong to a set or class. I want to be big enough to be a friend to the Negro Race has started too soon to divide into classes and sets. We are not yet far enough out of our class, we set ourselves apart in prose. We do not want the favor of those in high places, we move into every new and better location opened up, and any little girl who will refuse to let us eat a sandwich at a lunch counter. If she doesn't meet you are white enough to be a classmate, and you let her assume you are white to register shame of your race. I like to go to Lexington market at night. I like to lose myself in the crowds. Most of my friends are online on Saturday. What I find interesting is situations I have with chance acquaintances. Some of the women are feeding a family of six on five live animals, found talking with them that we had loss. Zits devoted to free verses and more on practical home management. Watch scales. Some of the women found on a doll meet at something, and accents, some of the uneducated folks will have difficulty in figuring the total. Sometimes I win the greatest victory, undying hatred of the dealer but I don't care. They're my folks and I feel that I ought to help them. My "Larger half" feels my forehead, sometimes. When I come home and tell him that I just carried some half-child child home in front of me, moving picture parlor, where I shivering and begging for pennies. Just last Saturday while marketing at night, I found a tiny cold child about three years old in Lexington, Kentucky, who had garried her to the Western police station. The poor baby was numb with cold. Somebody had given her a nickle and passed on. I am happy to say that the desk clerk reasoned that her father had come after her. I could no more have passed her by than I could my own sister. She was one of MY people. Spectacular Morphements I do work well in large spectacular moments. I would never be a shining success. I love people too well. Home Education LUCY CHANDLER FULLER Dan, aged five, was given to ask long questions. When something that he wanted to know came into his head out popped the question and the nearest adult was at his mercy. One morning in the kindergarten when the other children were modeling, he sat watching the rain splash against the window pane. Suddenly he called to his teacher "Miss Rutherford, what makes I rain?" "That's quite time," remonstrated Miss Rutherford, "I'll tell you after kindergarten." After kindergarten Dan's big brother was in too much of a hurry to get home to lunch to wait for Dan to ask any of his questions. "Well, you tell me, then, George," begged Dan as he tried to keep step with the long strides of his brother, "what makes it rain?" "Oh, I'm too wet and hungry to answer questions," replied George in a lordly manner. "Hurry along, kid, or you will be soaked." When Dan reached home he ran up to his mother's room. "Mother," he began, "what makes ...?" "Danny!" exclaimed the child's mother, "take those wet things right down-stairs." He held his wraps below. When he returned his mother was putting on her hat. In one breath he shouted: "Mother, please tell me what makes it rain!" I can't stop, dear. I am late for the party. I will go to Pearl and she will give you your lunch. Dan found Pearl dislashing up his soup. "Say, Pearl," he began, "do you know what makes it rain." The Lord, I suppose, now comes. Now come. And that was all Dan could get out of Pearl. All the afternoon it rained, and Dan wandered from the nursery to the kitchen and back again. At the door, he opened the door over the bannisters and spying the visitor rushed down-stairs with a joyous cry. "Aunt Grace!" He patted the door, and then he waited before his aunt had time to drop her wet things, "what makes it rain?" His aunt laughed knowing that Dan knew the aunt was aunt. "Voll Dan," she replied, "let's see if we can find out." Leading the excited child over to the bookcase, she took down the Century Dictionary, and running to "rain" began reading aloud. "Tell me," interrupted Dan. "I'll tell you, dear, but I just wanted to show you, we have all the things the aunt know." And letting the little fellow climb up into her aunt. Aunt Grace began a laborious explanation in child language, as interpreted by a teacher, about atmospheric saturation, condensation and so forth. In the midst of it, Dan's mother came home. "Poor daughter," she replied, "has corrupted you." "Yes," laughed the aunt, "but you're not going to help Dana? Dan?" she asked, giving the child a glance. Every new store in an all-colored section is a personal stab to me. Every white drug store with its soda fountain dunk and cool colors lights. Yet I see our colored physicians send their prescriptions to these drug stores and patronize them too. And they can't get a phosphate if happened to be thirsty white in them. In the neighborhood where I live two or three of the drug stores look like junk shops since colored people are not allowed to be seen. Yet there seems to be no increase in business. Nor are they offering the businesses for sale. I don't want to belong to a glass or seat on the bus that blind to the welfare of so many people. Lack of Love What is it that makes us do these love each other. The struggle for life is so keen in the United States that today even the privileged race finds it hard. How much worse is it that we have two mill-stones, between the devil and the deep blue sea. But still I believe that a little more love will oll even our grind stones and make things a little bet- True, we need to fight tooth and nail. True it is a case of the survival of the fittest, but let us fight it together. We need to judge wherever it arises, but not each other. Let us go into the little grocery store opened by our own color. Let us at least be as curious as to whom they say we are related. We live around Jews all our lives. In the harbor shops, in the corner drug store, you can hear some of the laughter and cry of a Jew begging, yet there doesn't seem to be any lesson in this for him. We love each other. We have a host of secret societies who will -indly lay you away decently, but who will not put any of the huge sums they collect into business enterprises. They build dance halls, they build a museum, they never seem to have any surplus money for cooperative business. Meanwhile, one local department store has spread itself into four buildings chiefly because of colored teeth. We don't love each other. We hear the word "Nigger" on the lips of white people. Every time we call somebody that we mean, according to Webster, "A low mean, miserly and know the meaning of the word and show that you hate and not love each other. Galleries We don't love each other. We go to white dentists. Some colored real estate dealers won't employ colored help on the repairs of their homes, ourselves, and gladly crawl up back allies to the galleries of the theaters down town. We are not want to run little petty bills and we spread the new and render it impossible for anyone to go there. All because we don't love each other and don't patronize the stores of our own. We need more love. More confidence in each other. Less snobishness. Less frilliness. Over the business. Less friendliness and them in the face as we climb. We have a little business here and there. What we need is to cut back the prune. We need to prune for strength. And truly he truly "In union there is strength." * "You bet," said Dan, returning the bug, and jumping to the floor he began to tell his mother what makes it rain. "Why, he really understands it," commented the boy's mother. "Of course he understands it," replied the aunt. "If we grown people would only take the trouble to inform ourselves first and then animate their own language, we could not only give him some background information but could also excite his mother further knowledge. Don't you think? It would more we encourage a child's natural desire to know things of this nature the more we are going to help that man or woman." "As usual," Grace, you're right and carry the bag.

Thermometer Indispensable In Sitting Rooms Average Temperature In Winter Should Always Be Degrees Fahrenheit.-Sore Throats and Colds Result From Quick Changes How 15 Escaped In State's Biggest Jail Break. The largest jail-delivery in the history of Michigan incurred during this same period, a afternoon 15 men turned up missing. The writer at this period had been in the habit of riding down with the prison truck each Sunday afternoon when too many people home at four-thirty and remained until the mail was brought back at seven. I had been waiting at the switchboard in the front office for the afternoon count, but before the guards were released for the day. After some delay the phone message came in that some twenty or thirty men were short. The count was again taken, this time each person each individual cell which was vacant and after allowing out on detail and otherwise had work to do out of their cells left out on detail which no account could be made. There upon a systematic search of the prison and yard was begun and to look high and low not a trace could be seen of them. It was an hour or so later that the Wardens wife looking out our window sampled across the field and innocently asked where he came from. Many conflicting ideas exist regarding ventilation and its relation to health, comfort and efficiency. This article outlines very briefly the results of many experiments and careful studies of this subject made by the New York State Commission on Ventilation whose report has aroused nationwide interest. Hundreds of years ago it was discovered that the air in which we live is a nicely balanced mixture of gases—principally nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. In the vast out-of-doors nature maintains this balance but, when air is breathed some of the oxygen is used the body and a waste product is carried out. Old theories of ventilation called for frequent change of air in densely populated rooms so as to keep the carbon dioxide content down to a safe level. Males and people have shown, however, that the proportions of oxygen and carbon dioxide can vary through a wide range without apparent harmful or distressing re Recently it has been learned that the physical properties of air, particularly TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY and MOTION, are of much greater importance than any other variation in its chemical makeup. Temperature is the most important element in healthful ventilation except in certain industries where inhumidious dusts and gases are produced. In these industries we want to keep the air in your home, office, church or school in the condition most favorable for those who breathe it, get a good thermometer, hang it where it will record average temperature, or test at 68 degrees F. Don't let it go higher. The increase of colds, some throats, pneumonia and similar discussions in the winter appear to be related to the temperature of the air, breathed. Going from overheated rooms to the very cold out-of-doors weakens the delicate linings of the nose and throat, making them susceptible to attack of the germs which cause disease. A Healthy Child Or Young Adult Who Feeds Cold With The Theromancer 98 o Probably Needs Carbon Dioxide should not be confused with Carbon MONOxide, which is a part of the exhaust gas from gasoline engines and is very toxic. Carbon dioxide makes itself felt in the "raw" and chilly weather of winter and in the "muggy" and oppressive conditions of very great humidity combined with high temperatures (such as found in laundries and dyo works) are well known. As to the effect on health in the air we breathe, in the air we breathe, scientific opinion is divided. Moderately most warm air feels warmer than very cold air, which fact is important in saving fuel and also in making it easier to keep the temperature down without exhaust. It is said that when gases form will be sufficient humidity for human beings. Motion of the air produced by an electric fan in a warm room is very refreshing. The fan does not change the air temperature; neither the temperature or chemical content—but the results are very evident just the same. A person sealed up in a small chamber will begin to feel badly warm in minutes, but if a fan is started, the same warm air can be breathed with entire comfort for a long time. Temperature regulation remains the most important element in ventilation, even where large numbers of occupants are present. Factors, such as the removal of odors, must be considered, however, and this requires changing the air. In general, this can be accomplished lower cost and with effect on the health of the room. If fresh air is admitted through open windows rather than by means of mechanical ventilation. Window ventilation of schools has been found to be the favorable results under the following conditions, which apply also to offices and other places of this general nature. 1. Open the windows from the back of the room from the front. 2. Fix to the sides of the window frame, plateau or board deflectors about 12 inches high, resting on the window-sill, sloping upward and inward at an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical, to give the incoming an upward dissection and to prevent the window from directing directly on the occupant of Although all the post-guarden be specially notified not a glitter of anyone scaling the wall or the wall proved equally out success. About this time others were sent in to look at the wall and warden's wife remarked she looked as though they came from their house. The officer the switch-board asked me to look into the wall and darted into the front office where a hole was discovered and it was through this aperture that the power tunnel from the power tunnel inside the prison to avoid just escapes, and crawled clear an the prison yard, under the building, digging a hole on which they managed to crawl and traversing the basement in their window and come one by one. Among the fifteen were some the most desperate men on the Giant's pen of prison institutions, need Bill of Rights we have offered before. They scattered in all situations and for a week there were one of the most desperate hunts in Michigan history at end of which time every man been caught and returned to cell, without any fatalities and the Warden taking the leading in the capture of each. For Indispensable Living Rooms Winter Should Always Be More Throats and Colds Re Quick Changes 3. In a room heated by steam, the radiators should under the windows so the coil may be carried still higher and the same time mixed with the air rising from the radiators. Mr. shields covering the entire interior may be carried still higher and near it from being overheated. 4. Near the ceiling in the water pose the windows are openings on the warm air like a chimney. The openings should be provided in dampers so the amount of air passing through them may be regulated. 5. A reliable thermometer on the 65 degree line clearly marked indicates when to regulate the heat windows and the exhaust pipe. Careful studies in many schools over a long period of time show that there were 70 per cent colds and sore throats among all rooms than among those in rooms ventilated by windows as described above. The adoption of these recommendations by school authorities will not only reduce science classes in classrooms and limit the use of a great deal of money now spent in installation and operation of the necessary machinery and equipment. The fact that more and better methods of ventilation also make these discoveries of particular use in industry. At home, where ample space is provided for each person, indoor satisfactory air conditions can be achieved. The recommendations for the ventilation of school rooms are followed in general, however, air radiator and exhaust pipes will not be necessary from the home, even when open doors, so regulated that the ten temperature is kept not higher than 65 degrees, air conditions can usually be maintained in a state of With sufficient body covering much lower temperatures are not only endurable but positively best suited to the treatment by the successful treatment of tuberculosis in places where it gets very cold indeed. COLD AIR IS, OF ITSLEE NOT HARMFUL. Doing It Well By R. A. Adams, P. X. 8. Whatever you may undertake, If meagre be the task, or great, If failure you would oblate, Whatever there may be at stake, If you would make it tell, Then always do it well! Whatever you may have to say, For self, or pleading human well, Your best put into the appeal, And if it is a well-written will, And their applause compell, By always doing well! If knowledge you desire to gain, And win a niche among the wise, The smallest things do not despair. What you desire you may obtain, And a maximum praise, By doing well, always. This is a motto worth your while so, whatever you strive to do, Whatever course you may pursue.

Henry Waters honored their daughter-in-law and son, Therese and Rannia; now haven't you? Well, your interest is indeed justified, for the Waters' are thoroughly skilled in doing precisely the proper thing in precisely the proper manner, and trumpeting over the affair has been general. It was the very last word in elegance—more elaborate, perhaps, than anything of the kind recorded in the annals of our social history. What with artistic decorations, splendid cuisine, beautiful music, a gracious hostess, a genial host, there were all the elements essential to a de luxe social stunt. But you are eager to hear about the guests, I know, and without further preliminaries I shall get to them. Naila, my dear. Vashti Maxwell was on the scene in an exquisite d'ass of varying shades of rose-taffeta done in bonfiant and glist of red-haired admirably adapted to her type.

The program was very unique and suggestive of the programs of The Browns of Washington in the mid-19th century; but what a grand and elaborate time they do have with cards, the dancing, and the men. There were games which tested one's knowledge of current topics, games, and other varieties of 14th which made it impossible to be a good time. The celebration of Founders Day by the Epsilon and Epsilon-Omega chapters of the Algae Kappa Alpium Society happened last Sunday. It was the nineteenth anniversary of the origin of the organization. Miss Slowowicz — the first national president of the society was present and outlined the responsibilities of college students. Erma Davis gave the history of the Organization. Nellie Henry received the poem. The Ivy Leaf, and there were one or two musical numbers other than those already mentioned. The affair was held in the reception rooms of the Mansion, the Aloha Show, Frances Male, and Ginette were among the under-graduate members whom I saw; while Florence Carroll, a graduate of Grace Hill Jacobs, Edna over, Vivian Cook, and Gladys Underhughes were the representatives of the university evening at her home on Madison avenue. Howard Gross, "Albahbet Pennington," John Cook, John Nixon, Duck Gibson, James Thomas, and those interesting East Indians, Glamma and them, were around to help out with the celebration; and they had the kind of a time that only a ginger man can have when Speaking of birthday reminders me that I've heard a lot about them recently and I'm beginning to think that snow, blowy snow and frost from February in this respect.

The fellow who is rather tall brought forth wild shouts of laughter as he ran up and down the door, and when the Groves had the ball under their opponent's goal.

In the local gymnasium, in the middle years that Coach Gibson's boys have defeated the Red and Black on their own court, the team comprised a group of fairly good-sized boys, but they lacked training. The locals had speed, plenty of it, and fighting spirit, but the Baltimore boys were in form and were superior in practice. And finally, each state of the game. For the first five minutes the team played three point lead, Jones got forward, through individual brilliances, by far the outstanding player of the afternoon, scoring the first goal on the second stage on the Dunbur boys were not in it. Coach Gibson evidently sensed what a perfect duct Jones and his team had to do, latter in to replace Captain Galloway. Then it was Hackett, then Jones, each time these boys would score and register field goals right from under the basket. The half ended with Dougless leading, 29 to 5. Though weak, could spring a possible spurt, the Dougless tossers started the second half off at break neck. The locals were so completely baffled and out-classed until they stopped trying to make field goals. Randolph at center and Jackson at left forward, proved to be the outstanding players and between them seven of the locals 8 points Coach Gibson gave his entire squad a chance and with the exception of Jones he really stars, the entire Douglass squad performed well.

Davis, Chairman of the Board, to issue the following statement with reference to the reports of one kind of athletic activity that was prepared in the public press undertaking to chronicle the attitude of Howard University with reference to athletic Association, many of those statements being regarded by the Board of Athletic Control as being of character calling for contraction in his statement Doctor Davis says. Doctor Davis' Statement "The Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, although calling itself intercollegiate, has a number of high school students playing on the same teams. It even had graded school students playing on its teams. This condition probably exists still. Howard's withdrawal was due to his confusion with the organization for C. I. A. A. insisted upon imposing this anomaly upon us, who have no preparatory students, by voting that a preparatory student upon graduation be allowed to play at Howard should have deducted from his approaching term as a college player the years he had already played in the Association as a high school or graded school play. Obiected To "Howard objected to this. Latter Howard generously agreed to accept the Association's proposal, proclaiming that the student's participation should not be deducted or counted in any way. This was agreed to by a plenipotentiary committee of the Association and the Association broke faith and protested a Howard player, who had played one year and only one as a preparatory player. Howard declared forfeited the games in which this player had appeared. Howard then withdrew from the C. I. A. expressing her attitude as a student and drawn from the C. I. A. A.

Fans to the approximate number of 3,000 who recalled the exciting climax of last season's encounter with the Philadelphia team, including the original Cellets were then members of the famous South Philadelphia Hebrew Association, five which mapped up an entire court, the Original Cellets of New York, turned out and witnessed the Renaissance machine. After a bewildering half hour, the visitors left the court trailing by a 8-6 margin. It might here be said to the credit of The "Bob" Dongkass machine, that in the latter stage of the conference great comeback, they played under professional rules, with which they are more familiar, than with the intercollegiate rules under which the first stanza was contested. The first half was a veritable nightmare for who the Renaissance champion. Although difficult to remember, a remarkable passing game. The Phillies headed by Chick Passon, positively thwarted every attempt that they could make to score, for the first half of the game, failed to annex a single tally, until finally Mayre dribbed past the Philly defense and slipped a dribble into the second half however, in the second half however, a different story was told. Saunders, a lanky warrior went to center, while Stoumn, the regular point guard, was the only player the Philly Ricks previously had performed. The change worked wonders in the team. George Flippen, like demons, caging seemingly impossible shots from beyond mid-court, and from every conceivable angle. The dribbling and passing this trilo, was wonderful. So well did Renalissance keep faith with their form, that they amassed a huge goal shooting, while the local cagers could garner but three field goals with seven successful trips to the foul line. The big lead accumulated by the Quakers during the first half was the "Bob" Douglass warriors to overcome, and the final whistle ended with the final score, 88 to 88 against them.

Thursday night, the Celticers kicked ball circles, when they completely outclassed the local aggregation, triumphing 20 to 8. The Baltimore star center, Miss Ora Washington, the locals were at sea, and failed to function with that powerful smoothness which has characterized all of their previous exhibitions. The Celticers were easily the best defensive team and smothered every attempt of the local dribblers to resume play, to tumble on the other hand they uncovered a clever aerial attack, and made good on the majority of their chances to tally.

Thoughts Of The Founder How are each and all of us making use of this machine that is wound up in our heads? Every man is what he intends himself to be. No man never rose higher than his own ambitions, and no man ever will. You may force a man into a position for which he is not fitted, and he will never be made to fit it because it is not in him. The thing will have to be doing himself and the reason why it is not done is because he has never learned himself to think. A man must first learn to think before he is going to get anything out of himself or is going to give the world anything worthwhile. Just Suppose The New York World, one of the country's strongest newspapers, has consistently opposed the Dyn Anti-Lynchning bill declaring that it infringed upon our democratic theory of state rights. On the other hand, the World was foremost in exposing the guilt of a mob in the South Carolina, where three persons, one of them a woman. Its campaign carried on by means of editorials, cartoons and news articles aroused the state of South Carolina as never before. However, there has been no indictment of the lynchers although their names were placed in the hands of the governor more than a month ago. The World was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Now just suppose that the World is able to bring the people of South Carolina to the sense of their duty to secure the punishment of the lynchers six months after the crime is committed and his purpose is accomplished. World War II has been instilled in South Carolina it will conduct similar campaigns in Virginia, Florida and La., where unpunished lynchings mobs have operated recently; in Kiegria where the Klu Klu Khan has terrorized several communities; suppose that the state has already decided, theocracy, Congress and the President absolved from doing their duty to put down riotous uprisings which the state cannot handle. Are they absolved from the Constitutional provisions which designate that every accused criminal shall have a right to a trial by jury? Safety First John W. Vandercook, white, and his wife spent several months traveling among the uncivilized natives of Liberia, West Africa. He says there were times when he went to the village and did not return for 24 hours. She felt as safe as at her home in New York. Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon B. Marshall, were in Baltimore last week, after several months in Haiti. Mrs. Marshall who is a native of the United States also often walked alone at night out in the Haitian hinderland and felt safer there in Haiti than in the United States. The Vandercooks also visited Haiti once and that the number of the people there are several hundred years behind the uncivilized native Liberians. Most interesting, however, is the statement of these two sets of travellers, one white one colored, that they felt as safe among the people of West Africa as in the heart of civilization here at home. Right And Wrong Asked by a New York newspaper as to the best thing that has happened during 1926. Chance Darrow, a noted criminal lawyer, declared that 1926 was the most important and that no one could point with pride no single achievement. We differ with Mr. Darrow for in the year of 1926 he was chief counsel in the celebrated Sweet Cause in Detroit which settled a prison sentence and made that home is his castle," whether the man be black or white. However far he was wrong on the first question, he is absolutely right on the second. The best thing that can happen in 1927 would be a greater and more powerful among men, which can come about with money grubbing and grabbing. Damned Lies Heatedly denying that he was being paid $30,000 for a southern lecture tour by the Supreme Kingdom, an order patterned after the Ku Klux Klan, the Rev. John Roach Stratton, white, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, New York, termed the newspaper reports of his tour without the slightest foundation in facts."

The Howard appropriation was batted back and forth in the senate several weeks ago and then finally an appropriation for $100,000 for a girl's dormitory was stirred out. The appropriation is authorized by the senate and then finally agreed to by the senate committee toug both bodies. This is the operation that was followed this year. Democrats made the usual pay to the galleries by the senate and then measured at first, but when the final vote came there was no objection. The reason for the objection on the part of the Democrats, many of whom are opposed to education or opposed to Howard University, but Howard is not a federal institute and the government has no right to pick out the university and make appropriations for it. On the other side, Republicans point out that the government has not taken action in Annapolis from which schools colored boys are barred through color discrimination that colored students are barred in all state universities of the south. They say the federal government is exactly proper for the federal government to step in and fill the gap. Howard has received its appropriation from democratic Conn. as a republican. For nearly two years he has supported the university. At best, however, it is a step-child. Friends of the University should provide a bill making Howard a federal institution and a full fledged member of the federal family, best some day legislators decide utterly to disown it. "Christianize Christianity," was a the prayer of a minister in one of our churches Sunday. He is right. A survey of the world today shows that the Christian church is decidedly unchristian. Christianity selects certain individuals and races as divinely appointed and recognized all others as outsiders and inferior. The Christian Church divides itself into denominations each of which preaches that its organization only has found the right road to heaven, that all others are wrong, lost, miserable sinners. Christians uphold might as the final determinant in world affairs and not right. Mobs in Christian America last year lynched 33 persons. The United States a strong powerful Christian nation sent armed forces into China, Haiti and Nicaragua. Uen, Lord, Christianize Christianity. Down In Mexico Writing in the Dearborn Independent on the question "What Is the Matter with Mexico?" Bishop George A. Miller, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, declares that the chief drawback is the Catholic church which for over three centuries has held the sword against one-third of the property value in Mexico and has baptized the Indians but failed to Christianize or educate them. In the same magazine, the Rt. Rev. Pascal Diaz, secretary of the Episcopal Committee of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico, declares that the church has always given an education to such parts of the people who are able to appreciate it. If more were not done for the Indian it is because of a lack of opportunity. Bishop Diaz, resents the enforcement of the Mexican law which limits pastorates in Mexico to native born. Bishop Miller says the Catholic church would undergo no great discomfort and could remain in Mexico as long as the Methodist Episcopal church is doing. Bishop Miller thinks the Mexican administration is going to win its fight to oust foreign born pasionists because it has the support of 2,000,000 laborers and workers, many of them Catholics who want to see them put into the hands of the state. According to the bishop, 4,000 elementary schools have been opened, mostly for Indians in the past year, and 130,000 pupils are enrolled. When such experts as bishops of the diocese of Tijuana and the Methodist Episcopal church disagree as evidenced in the comments above, a layman is entitled to his own view. Our own surmise is that Mexico has awakened sufficiently to take public education, its public lands and its borders, and to have foreigners who have heretofore controlled them. Nations, like individuals grow up and reach the age of maturity. When they consult no one upon the adversity of managing their own affairs. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly DAYBYDAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES Rising Forms On Political Horizon If you are politically minded you have no doubt discerned the rising of forms and factors on the agenda of the 1923 presidential campaign is mirrored. It is in the Democratic camp that the special candidate is being indulged in and Marylanders of course are watching the careful groom of Governor Albert Ritchie, first third term governor the Dear Editor: The strategy of the Democratic leaders, as well as their hopes, lie in capturing several of the most powerful states or two normally Republican states in the middle west. They of course are not worried about the hide bound solid South. Governor Rick Hite has been setting forth certain pronouncements about high ideals of government, states rights and federal bureaucracy with the hope that voters will wet vote if perchance the nomination winds blow his way in 1928. In its inaugural address recently in the loosely the following very public sentiments: In many ways a Government can go wrong and still right itself. But if you let the initiality of your Government change, if you let the States yield their vitality and become anemic and dependent things. If you look at the burdens, its petty tyranny and its incompetence; if unprotesting you stand by while the Government is foiled, then do not say the fault lies in the stars when liberty and equality of opportunity fade and tolerance bids the Of course if you live in Maryland where Governor Kitchens party has complete control and management which dominates his distribution of citizenship rights; where we have a police department where no man of color can hold office in the state where you are told plainly that there are positions among state job holders for which no colored citizen can apply, because "IF I EXPLORESTING YOU STAND BY WHILE THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE FAULT LIES IN THE STARS WHEN LIBERTY AND EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY BIDDEN THE LAND EASEWELF." We take the liberty to suggest that colored voters take note of this pronouncement and do some protesting against Governor Rick Santorum in Maryland, but in New York where wet Democrat votes will be needed badly to swing that state to a Democratic win, we have Illinois, where black men and women are organized into political cohesion and such middle western states as Kansas where only eight percent of voters are white. Democrat who disappointed them. If a man like Governor Ritchie starts towards the White House, from Maine to California must speak out in protest. On the other hand if a just and broad minded Republican be in excellent opportunity to show party independence. "You can't apply" declares a "prominent author" the "ordinary animal laws of biology to human beings, making educational standards". In other words, according to the animal laws, horses, cows and corn by application of laws of nature, but human beings cannot be so controlled. There is no reason to believe that human beings will not respond to the laws of nature, guidance as they do to intellectual guidance. THE FACT IS TIBY DO. You can be as possible by natural selection to produce a human group 15 feet tall as it has been to produce pygmies in the South sea islands are PRODUCED IN NATURE BY ENVIRONMENT. CAN MAKE ENVIRONMENT. Likewise intellectual environment may be artificially produced by humans, or require any desired results. To the Editor: Some day some courteous educator will design a school system capable of teaching in various groups. If a racial group lacks cohesiveness, for instance, biology may step in and deceive the students by producing a standard of physical beauty as did the sculpture of the Romans, mothers will mate and produce children. In fact it is not too much to say, from the biological standpoint, at least, that it is possible to build it accordingly, both physically and intellectually. Good News From While Mr. Secretary of State Kellogg is busily engaged in the pastime of trying to tie the strings of Mexico and Nicaragua and conserve the rich oil lands for late coup clippers in the United States, American white wars, the Russians, according to William Pickens, are solidifying one of the most advanced steps in human government. Significantly enough, colored races of the world are meeting in Russia in February to form a white dominion. At the same time some of the groups are bursting bonds in various countries against white world domination. Chinese nationalists have risen up against white foreign masters in China; down in Nicaragua a subgroup of white nationalists whose policy allows foreign White aggression and even in Africa there are sinister rumblings which disturb the peace of English rulers. A serious question which American Negroes will ask is whether they will select to cast their racial face with that of the white world, which is often characterized by civilization, or shall we develop a distinct start of our own.

To the Jedi Knight After reading the Mt. Washington Bum's article last week I want to answer his question about Negroes copying "my shoes" from Negroes copying from whites. The Negro women have always worn short dresses and their hair has always been bobbed. They have their dresses up on their knees and their hair knotted up on top of their heads. Negro men have always worn big leg pants (several) now the white men have long pants and their legs. Everybody can see this for themselves, so this can be denied. It seems incredible to me for anyone to call himself Truth when he is such a liar as the M. Wash. governor, a few of his whys. First, the white folks are moving away from the Negroes because they are jealous and would like to see all Negroes and would like to see all Negroes like Truth says they are. I should advise the bottom of the Red Sca if they want to go where there are no colored people. Then there are white people. Then there are white people and a lot of white people copy after the Negro. Look at the black face comedians and whites trying Negro wattups which they never write in much ease and effect as the Negro. Truth, white people work for Negroes.

You can't see the five races of men in the geography, he printed the most intelligent looking white man he could find. He printed the worst looking Negro he could find.

Carrollton Ave. Hokum And Bunkum travelers accustomed to the theory of white superiority so common in America are surprised abroad to find that the Hindu, Chinese, Japanese and even the native African are equally contempt for the other races. Houston Chamberlin's (white), dogmatic assertion that the great men of all ages were Aryan and that King David must have been a German, provoked roars of laughter. In Precotton, West Africa, at a lecture given by Mr. S. K. Raleite, at Kingsway Hall. Truth Is Bitter Because Slavery Is At An End And We Have To Pay People Who, Work For Us. To the Editor: as highly esteemed as the APRO, printed especially for the uplifting of the colored race and trying to curb race hatred, why do print such letters as those of Of course, there has never been such a thing as a pure race because races of all colors have always mixed. When the Negro was a slave he was good enough to nurse white children live in the same house. He never ever back and call, but since they have him to pay he is no good. That is the reason he is so bitter against the Negro, because he cannot obtain his service for nothing. The Apostle Paul, that unpleit Little Jew," as Renan called him, met the issue of race superiority with the apostle Paul, and made of one blood all flesh that dwelth upon the earth. John Stuart Mills, the English philosopher, carried St. Paul's doctrine a little further when he suggested the slogan of "teepool suspects" to the Nordic doctrine of "superiority." a common inborn's job today? Why are there white garbage men, white street sweepers of white accountants, and white teachers of white And this is the class that use the word nigger, refuse to sit on a street corner, and refuse to live in a neighborhood where he is, and why asked Truth? Because he is so poor and won't be able to sell from a Negro. Germany's condition today is the result of over-reliance in the racial superfluity theory.

The Week's Best Story BY WILLIAM PICKENS (The American Esop) AT NIGHT EDITORS LIE IN BED "Last night I slept in an editor's bed, where there were no editors night; And as I tossed and tumbled, I said; "How equally editors lie!" FISH TALES In violation of law the fellow had been catching trout out of season and killing other game. On the train he was boasting to a fellow-traveler about how many trout he had caught and how badbugged. After he had told his whole story, the man to whom he was speaking, said: "Do you want to know who I am? I'm the game warden of this Simpson County." He replied: "And do you want to know who I am? I'm the bigger lizard in Simpson County." Heard and Seen In Baltimore By Ralph Matthews I was getting a shave in a barber's chair. A half dozen men were lounging about, one of whom was wearing a case which had been dissected, and each had chosen the section that interested him. They disbanded the divorce cases and showed that they were getting the low down on married folks, reporters were chumps. The question of the time was whether Liberia came up for discussion. "Did I ever tell you about the time Flats Snowontille and me went over to Christianize the heatouts?" drawn an unkempt individual, shifting a wad of tobacco to another locality. "That was a few years back when Flats and me was hanging out with him. They called Flats 'Flats' because he had a flat nose, flat feet and a flat head. Flats had the finest developed hunk of igneous rock. I've ever seen outside a college." We didn't intend to stay in the *Fur Heel State* as long as we did but we didn't know how there for stooling clichons until it was too late. "When we went out of the housewife we had worked our way as far north as Snatchville, and there was the sheriff awoke from a dream brought on by a gentle tap on the bean with a crowbar, and missionary had the true northern spirit and was too lazy to hunt for us." "It was in the suburbs of this village where Flats, who could do dumber things with less of her anybody on record, washed dishes and to pay for some grub we had enten before he found out it was a free feed." "The grub we had stowed away was grats given by the missionary, in honor of the successful termination of a rally to send a Missionary to Africa and two missionaries that day." It may have been because I was raggedy enough and Flats was dumb enough to look like a dog of a dog, but anyway they mistook us for the visitors. The pastor asked me if we prepared to carry the light into dark places and because I had already had experience in a coal mine I answered yes. Flats, being unusually blessed the whole place, nearly embellished the whole room, he named him he was a follower of the lamb and he places that he didn't never been on a sleep ranch in his HIRE. Of course when Flats and me met the deacon board we had no more idea of going to Africa than an elephant that had of making a key pass-signs with our plains-sensing reading about reward we decides that Africa is about the safest place for us. We reserve state rooms on a cattle ship and enjoyed the first few days of our voyage until the day they deliver us and puts us to work. After being inhabited mostly by dumb animals and the lower types of civilization, Flats heathens gave us a royal welcome but it made us nervous the way they kept smacking their lips whenever they came near us. Just before we started to expand the word, Flats, who as a heathen could tremble so scarcely in gray matter, got to arguing with me about the Bible. I had to break two of his words, could convince him that it was swallowed the whole instead of vice versa. He's the stubbornest man I ever seed." We finally decided to win their confidence through service. And Flats and my builda were both holly water before we realized they was planning to eat us. Now it was right there where me and Plats performed the miracle that proved to super-behind that you was super-behind. We started to walk on the water. Of course, I know that you all don't think it possible for them to walk on top of the water but until you trifle of savages behind you trying to cook you into a pot ple, you don't know what you can do." Others Say Liberian Bank (From Mera, World) It is difficult to understand how Liberia has managed to get along all of the past years without a banking system, but it has managed to that it needs a responsible banking system. Whether it is ready to pay up, whether it is ready to supply such a system remains to be seen. The American Negro, who is struggling with his own problem of bank and insurance development, has been shown very clearly and conclusively that the Liberian banking proposition is a good and safe one, because the men who will control the good and safe men before he makes the bank and safe men, 400,000 of stock to be offered to him. ADJUDGED BY "Opportunity" AS Saturday, Jan. 22, THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-28 Kelly Miller Says Notwithstanding certain specific accomplishments, the race on the whole is losing ground. This is a terrific indictment against the Negro intelligentsia; but it is no more terrific than the plain facts make necessary. But now what about the future of the Negro Sandhedrin? Is there sufficient statesmanship in the race to take hold of the work and carry it on? The hour of the Negro Sanhedrin Revival is at hand. Shall it be revived? Who Says So? The Negro Sanhedrin Redivivus Mr. Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, has more than once, in an offhand editorial way, made querulous reference to the apparently unfortunate situation. This organization was projected some three years ago with fair promise and - and hope of success. I can recall no one who had his spirit and who was more ardently devoted to its aim and ideal than the redubtable editor of the Pittsburgh Courier. The apparent collapse of the movement confessed, was a serious back-ack, if not a permanent mistrust to the race. But the movement is not dead, but sleeping. The fundamentals and vital principles of its inception can never die. The importance and necessity of such a movement: strengthens with the help of the public, loudly today, than it did three years ago. The intervening years have have emphasized the importance of existing agencies and d organizations, working as they do independent, non-profit purposes, makes some mode of unification imperative. Losing Ground Notwithstanding certain specific accomplishments, the race on the whole is steadily losing ground. The Negroes are sacrificed by default. All because the present generation of leaders have no excuse the requisite skills to govern efficiently and efficiently- administer the vast estate of racial welfare committed to its charge. This has led the Negro intelligence; but it is no more terrific than the plain facts make necessary. The plain facts make necessary that twelve million Negroes, to whom has been conchaded every right by the Constitution, have been divested of a playground because the requisite political sagacity has not been forthcoming. Will any one say that the Negro's political estate has been closed and efficiently managed? Stronger Intrenched Are we doing the best we can or are we and beeping the reptiles or selfishly snapping any one stand up in his place and say that the Negro is incapable of availing himself his most precious preoccupation, most obviously has done or is doing? The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our ourselves, that we are underlines. The N. A. A. C. P, and the Equal Rights League have been held and civil rights. Specific accomplishments are commendable; but the curve is steadily sloping, unlike generic evil at which they aim has been seriously affected. Crow curse, disfranchisement, segregation, separate schools, and anti-intermarriage restrictions in public favor than they ever have been before. The response of the race to these appeals is. Is this the best that the race can do? Or is it possible by united assault to make those傻瓜 foundations tremble? Of Racial Life The Urban League and the Y. M. C. A. are doing their quantities, good in their speed, fields, fields, scratch the surface of racial life and needs. The inter-racial conferences are moving nicely along the lines of limited service functions in some sort of fashion, and yet we are not savvy. The demand for an all race council is so obvious that a wayfaring man even though a fool, cannot but see the wisdom thereof. This council or organization, centenion, initiative and support. Up to the present time all such movements have been freely and imperfectly. On the other hand those movements that have been founded and fostered by white overlordship have been more permanent and The N. A. A. C. P. is more effective than the Equal Rights Amendment, precisely the same program and platform, simply because the former, up to now, has been under the white general oversesership, while the latter has to sail under its own steam. Emergence Of Race Consciousness In the Urban League, the M. Y. C. A., and the Inter-Racial Conferences, white men have enough encouragement and generous help to work with for Necrotes. They have furnished the principles of procedure as well as the sinuous of their work. But the still need much more of such vicarious fostering. May their their good work continue and their tribe increase. But the still need much more of such vicarious fostering on the wall. In all such movements, they must decrease; we must increase. The white man has done for him related to do. The one thing most needed to be done he is wholly incapable of effecting. His only fostering help serves the need for a race consciousness, from which alone can spring efficient racial relief. Without the race consciousness and strength to hold the fragmentary elements to a fixed objective and persistent procedure, all of our efforts and vexation of spirit, but vanity and vexation of spirit. This is the fundamental aim of the Negro Sansehdrin. No other foundation can be laid than that which has been left. The race must needs come to the next decade or the next turry. Are we now ready for a more propitious period? In Chicago Three years ago, I thought that the time was ripe. I laid down the foundation and called up the staff of Chicago. The meeting with more than anticipated success. My basic principles were approved with scarcely the dating of an offer, and the second good prospects of its immediate fruition. Why then, it is reasonably asked, did the movement not continue to move? Lack Of Funds 1. There was a lack of funds. Voluntary subscriptions were sufficient to destroy the preliminary fund, with a small surplus what is still in the hands of the treasurer, Professor John K. Hawkins. There was no adequate excuse for the executive to securely live in widely distant cities. There was no precision for adequate office force and clearance of the movement, requiring the time of a highly qualified man and annual hire of not less than four thousand dollars. The whites could not be employed N. A. M. A. P. and the Urban League of the Y. M. C. A. This would defeat the spirit of the movement. N. Organization would carry itself out with proper voluntary service. Howard University 2. Very distressing conditions University, which engrosses much of the energies of the Negro San- bedrin, 68,481. Existing Organizations 3. Existing organizations more or less conscious of their self-sufficiency followed the Negro Sanhedrin, as Peter followed. He was not that, whole bearer proffer of assistance and support on the part of many, who failed to fully understand that the Sanhedrin was not come to fulfill their function, but Goliath. 4. I immediately found that so great a project could not be promoted as a duty, but it must be made a business. It is also important to the comprehension and breadth of James Weldon Johnson, Engle Kincle Jones, C. Tallis and George I. Hobson, the work that needed to be done. White men have rendered a great service by showing us how our own civil affairs must be managed. There was no such effort, and the movement did not move. Foundation Remains 5. I am personally willing to take to myself all of the blanks which any one may be disposed of. I am confident that our stands greatly to the discretion of my personal sanity so solitary that we seem contingencies. But now what of the future? Suspense? If we were once myself the foundation of our awaiting the superstructure, is there sufficient statesmanship in work and work on it and carry it up? The hour of the Negro Sanhedrin Relativus is at 11 a.m. he will be revived? Who says so? AMOS HOKUM OUT FISHIN' A feller isn't thinkin' mean ... Out fishin'; His thoughts are mostly good and fairest.

JACKSONVILLE, FEA.-That the African Methodist Episcopal Church is ready and willing to unite with the African institutions was expressed by Bishop G. C. Clement of Louisville, Ky., in his speech of acceptance on Monday at the public meeting of the Bishops Council of the A. M. E. Zion Church which met here this week. The congregation, the churches, the Bishop said the A. M. E. Zion church has always stood for the unification of the Negro school system and the C. M. E. churches. We stand ready whenever they are to join with them that the Kingdom of our African communities be manifest throughout the world. In speaking of his personal attitude toward the unification, he said: "If I am an obstacle to unification it will be a small sacrifice for me to get out and let others come in that this may be accomplished for myself alone but I voice the sentiments of my colleagues here." He prophesied that it would only be a matter of time before unification actually came about. A. M. E. Zion church was strong and that it did not seek unification because it needed assistance, one way or the other. We were able to help the Race and to help spread Christianity throughout the world. "We do not say this because we through the world for 130 years, we feel that we can walk for the balance of our lives. We were over 400,000 strong, strong institutions of learning and have traveled from St. Johns church in New York 130 years ago into New York, to Florida, to Florida, up to Canada across the mountains into California, across the Pacific to the Philippines, then to South America and to Florida, we feel that we can walk right on it. Among the important things which came up was the underwriting of N. C. K. was the amount of $125,000 was raised for this institution, Prof. Aaron Brown reported to the Council. Of this amount, $1,000 and $100 were for the B. P. B. O. Elks of the World. The Council voted upon invitation of I. B. V. of the Council of others to hold the Council in St. Louis, Mo., in the Metropolitan Church of that city. Ten of the officers were present at the Council. Bishop C. A.

E. Church. We are mind of mental science called apperception. It is the fact as I see it, clear if my mind is clear, diverted if my mind is clear, or unclear if sight as I see it, the sound as I hear it. We are called upon here to interpret the doctor's instructions as I see them as taught by the apothecary Path. We are unconsolently governed by the law of apperception. We can no more separate our minds from ourselves from our very being. In the very last analysis, it will be the doctrine of predestination as taught by us as apperceived and understood by the writer. The theological world is divided into at least two principal doctrine of predestination—the Calvinists and the Arminians—and each prove their argument from the Pauline epistles, the second epistle to the Romans. Daniel Webster said that we attain to clearness in thinking by paying attention to delimitations and destination, for there is an ambiguity in the word? It may be used, first, in the general sense forordination. In this sense, we refer to events for God ordains whatever comes to pass. Secondly, it may refer to the general purpose of redemption, without reference to particular events. We need to create the heavens and the earth and to manifest his power, wisdom and benevolence. Thirdly, it is used in the theology to express the purpose of God in relation to the salvation of men. It includes one portion of the race saved and saved and lives in him. This we take it must have been the view taken by the framer of the subject, who has asked me to discuss "The Doctrine of Predestination as Pursued in the Epistle to the Romans." Now note, we are limited to Paul's view of predestination as the object of his epistles, as the object in writing each epistle was different, so the arguments used in writing each epistle are above the criticism that Paul contradicts himself, for to properly interpret an author you must take all his writings and not shipwreck it in a wide difference in what Paul says to the Romans, who boasted that they stood for law and justice in the justices whom he reproves for their fickleness, "O, foolish Galatians, who has bewitched thee?"¹ , as again, ask the question. What is predestination? Generally it comes from the Greek words meaning before and to know. To know before applies to the word of God and "foreknowledge" of God.

God can never be surprised. The only question which touches the matter of debate is what is the ring round of the stemma of the question to salvation? Is it the foreseen faith and repentance of the individuals themselves, or the man who has God? Each theological student must take one side or the other of this question. If he makes the side which makes the man normal, or foreseen faith the ground, he is also he holds. If he takes the side which makes the good man the ground, he is a Calvinist. Bethel A.M.E.

Although 1926 saw a rather uncertain month by month development, due to panicky and uncertain labor conditions, the optimistic reflection of big seems to indicate that 1926 would be the first business year than any one had hoped. This being true, and beginning with a fairly stabilized employment condition, the colored business man in 1927 can make his plans on an expansion basis. Looking at the problem purely from the standpoint of the business man, the one big factor to be taken into consideration always is the question of employee laborers are not only employed, but employed at living wages, it is easy to estimate in any community how far present business among colored people may expand, as well as what new enterprises may be It is here that competent city-wide leadership in the business life of a community is needed. Efficient Leadership Everybody is also agreed that in most of our cities race business needs organization, and organization requires efficient leadership. The mere fact that an individual may establish an enterprise out of which he himself may pay the wages is now an evidence of successful business leadership in a community. Leaders of this kind, who have no inclination or ability to link group welfare with economic welfare and who look upon their business activities with care of no more value to a community than the laborer who makes his salary and spends it all without adding anything to the sum total of the group's welfare. The rank and file of long distance thinkers are coming to know that we need a distinctive business leadership as imperatively as we need leadership in religion, education and political advancement. The rank and file of long distance thinkers also know that health, life, crime are also closely associated with the economic status of the group. in every community, therefore, the men and women who stand out in business leadership at the beginning of 1927 must face the response to which they carry their own enterprise, but the success of any expansion program in their community, and you will see and hear a group of people known in the community as leaders. They are always spoken of when an important person is to be named. They are always at the front to introduce the important person who comes to town. They must always be consulted when there is direction of public movements needed. In fact, they stand out as the leaders of the community.

Perspects In 1927 in Leadership should see the beginning of an expansion program, not dependent alone on the ones who plan business careers, but upon a wise leadership capability and our coming young business men and women upon firm foundations. Enterprises Needed The most fortunate fact about the second group of our group is that we have not developed the manufacturing and distributive activities in farm life and in labor. We have a basic income, but very little of it it sifts through the process of body which takes the raw material and makes it into the finished product and sells it to the consumer. Here is where we fall down woofly, in Georgia, for instance, a family of live people may produce ten bales of cotton, which will represent the most of a year's work. For this they get only a few hundred dollars necessary to their existence. In one day's trading the broker takes these, same ten bills of money and earns $10 more that the man earned in producing 44 with 9 State Industry OCEAN CITY—$150,000 appropriation asked for protection of natural inlet, stunted three miles south of the resort.

Employment Is Slack. Brooklyn and Chicago Get More Workers year's work. Here the process is not ended, for the manufacturer, carrying these same ten hales in his loom in a few hours, transforms its value into more profit also than the original, and makes out it in a year's toil. Then the manufactured goods is placed in the stores and sold back to the original producer at a profit by far more than the original - producer made with his year's toil. Then the process, the race group, none of which are brokers, none of which are manufacturers of cotton goods, none of which are salespeople or salesmen, get none of the actual profits. This lack of economic balance makes more to retard the progress of the race than all discrimination, jim crowing, mob violence, and disfranchisement we have, and if we cannot produce a leadership which will develop a more healthy economic status, the righting of all other wrongs will mean litigations. We need stores, we need manufacturing plants, we need financial institutions, and the spirit of cooperative grouping. The Business and Industry Department of the APRO-AMERICAN suggests that the business and professional men in every community in 1927 see to it that there is established some kind of a business organization that will take up in a serious and practical manner the expansion of business in the respective communities. Urban League Industry Migration Still Go On. E. Lyn and Chicago Bulletin No. 10 of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League summarizes employment conditions throughout the country as follows: General Conditions Labor are reporting throughout the country are reporting a slowing up in industry following the holiday rush. Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, and Florida are all feeding this depression by hiring more "the industrial situation has come almost to the acute stage." Laborers are being laid off there and only temporary work is available. Fort Wayne's "outlook in employment for January is rather gloomy," and Minnesota finds the usual seasonal depression coupled with a disinhibition to hire Negroes. Migration Brooklyn notes an influx of southern migrants, especially from the Carolinas. Many of the men have not sufficient industrial experiences to fit into jobs that are open and therefore drift aimlessly from city to city until they are without funds. Chicago from all sections of the country. There is no movement away from the city. Hot Springs, Arkansas, also reports incoming workers. Noteworthy Incidents The Lily Depot of Labor has released two significant incidents concerning Palmyra, New Jersey and Washington. D. C.: Palmyr, N. J.—In this city there is located an enameling factory which when it was incorporated in 1850, was accounted for $125,000. This plant is owned and operated by an entirely colored personnel which includes skilled and unskilled workers and a force of twenty-five experts. They manufacture and install durable and are preparing to install a furnace adapted to the manufacture of kitchen utensils. Orders have been filled from points as far distant as Porto Rico, Washington D. E., successfull building in the form of building trading school is being carried on here. Bricklaying, plastering, cement work and tile setting are being taught daily to a class of armacies and Harlem Aves. food Store e MA dison 4173 CONTAINS drugs useful in fighting GOOD MORNING JUDGE Mrs. Heath Saved The Rent The rent money is something guarded with dear life in Northwest Baltimore in the winter time. That's why Dora Heath: 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, laid her husband, Arnett Heath, down. She allowed to leave the house drunk with Izzy Cohen's rent money in his pocket Sunday night. Arnett was drunk, a condition that he enjoyed on Sunday nights, and the drunker Arnett got the more he wanted to drink. Every Saturday night he would bring home the money on which to run the house and every Sunday he would try to get the money to drink. Dora finally got tired of eating the first part of the week and fasting until Saturday rolled around again. She also got tired of having the landlord shaking his finger in her face because her husband had given the rent money to the bootlegger, so he would come out to the house Sunday with the money in his pocket, there was no other course to follow. She let him have it, right on the bean. When the police gathered Arnette up and carried him to the hospital, the police station house, the Municipal said, "I see wherein this woman hath done no wrong: it is he who hath given him sin, and I the him $10 and costs. Who Did The Shooting? Ask The Kyler Boys The Kyler boys got into trouble last week. James, Tom, Bob, Ford, and Esten, the baby who is about 13 and strong enough to go bear hunting with his fists, all landed in the station house and Mamma Kyler came along to get them out. Mrs. Kyler and her five husky sons occupy the house at 1226 N. Stricker street. Employment Is Slack. Brook-Get More Workers 15 white and 16 colored apprentices. The actual course may be covered in three months, with an additional month of practical experience on the course. On the second time 41 students have completed the course and are now at work on jobs at wages from $10 to $18 per day. The school apparently meets a long felt need as a substitute for apprentices. Beacon, N. J.—From April until September the dozen brickyards in and around Beacon beave employment to more than 1,000 colored men. During the fall and winter months the men are employed. There has been trouble among the men during the busy summer season, due largely to a lack of recreational facilities and the promiscuous manner in which men are hired. The men have made these conditions. Favorable Conditions Reported Boston, Mass.—The Boston Urban League has been quite successful in placing clerical workers in desirable positions in the publicity department in the publicity department of the Boston Cycle League. Brooklyn, N. Y.-The Y. M. C.

The Urban League is supplying the two colored workers for the factory and will furnish workers for a factory which plans to add 150 to its present force of 60 Negroes, making its entire personnel colored. This company has found Negro labor efficient in three other cities. Los Angeles, Cal.-A chain grocery store corporation has hired two men as clerks with assurances that they are in line to be made managers of the stores in which they are working.

Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Of course, police don't go in and arrest a whole family just because they occupy a house on Stricker street, but when there is some shooting in the alley just in back of that house and five husky boys run from the back door—well, that's another question. Three minutes after the shooting took place two equally as husky policemen knocked at the door and Mamma Kyrler opened it, looking sweet and innocent, like mothers of five husky boys have a love of doing when they have been doing when shooting in the alley. Refusing to take Mamma Kyrler's word that her boys wouldn't think of doing any shooting the officers forced their way into the house and found the nice little boys seated around the table waiting for grace to be said, the policeman but didn't tell them anything so they were dismissed Monday morning. But there really was some shooting done in that alley. Fined for Assaults, Striking, or Shooting: William Reed, 1019 N. Striker St. $10; Mack Hawkins, 1720 Cairo St. $10; Andrew Gray, 524 N.

SCHEME BROT PORTER JUST $6000 Mail Inspectors Uncover Intimate Plan To Defraud Authors ACCUSED IS INNOCENT Big Dailies And Monthly Magazines Among Those Duped What is said by postal officials to be one of the most pretentious and far reaching frauds to come to the attention of local authorities in recent years was revealed to United States Commissioner Frank J. Supplee, when J. Franklin Johnson, 2214 McCulloh street was arraigned on charges of illegal use of the mails Tuesday. Johnson is alloged to have obtained thousands of dollars worth of credit from natio.ally fund magna in cash from ambition writers seeking publication of their stories. Among the magazine which did not pay for its contents did not pay for is the "American Mercury". The New York Times, the San Francisco and the San Francisco and Chicago are also said to have been duped by Johnson. Reveals Scheme Post Office Inspector George E. Brill, who led the investigation that brought Johnson into the office, reported a detailed account of Johnson's activities, following his arrest. According to Mr. Brill complaints of magazines with whom he had received no returns for their money were lodged with the department as early as October, 1925. Letter heads said to have come from Philadelphia, Chicago and Service Company, with offices in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Baltimore, Chicago and other cities, were turned over to the department finally traced to Johnson here. The firm's address was given as the Spring Garden Building where some of the leading mail and business firms have offices in Philadelphia, it was learned that Johnson retained a forwarding privilege there and had his mail office and business firms a secret. He had previously operated from the Drexel Building but had been asked to discontinue Mr. Brill Collections Put At $6,000 Mr. Brill has scores of letters and pamphlets which will be used in the case against Johnson, which he said was from hoax and that the firms existed only in Johnson's imagination. Indicates the litigious office locations, the letterheads bore the names of alleged members of the board of directors of a firm which purported to be "Agents for authors, publishers and motion picture companies." Among the names of the alleged directors were that of his wife, Mrs. Rubey Johnson, J. Franklin Johnson, Bennie Hunt, and Charles Johnson. A pamphlet giving testimonials of pleased authors who had received "results beyond their expectation" for their works was also among the documents released by the post office department. Writers, who had difficulty in getting their works published were urged to cooperate in a Service Company. When the script was received, Johnson is alleged to have written back and sent the manuscript to his wife who hit and killed be published in print immediately upon the receipt of a retainer. Over $5,000 are have been collected in this way and complaints are still coming in. Innocent Says Mother Johnson's plans were perfectly honest and above board according to his mother, Mrs. Franklin Johnson, who conducts a stall in Lafayette, Louisiana. They were not arrived out she said because, Johnson was ill for two months and has not able to carry her husband. Johnson has appointed a produce stall for all years and is a step-daughter of Mrs. Winnie Johnson, of Kentucky, said to be the largest human, welcoming the age of 60 and even 70. Johnson's wife, Mrs. Rubye Johnson, stated that she had nothing to say concerning her husband's activities. They have been married two years, she said, and Johnson was a porter in a white print shop. Johnson spent his time between the two houses and government agents, and it difficult to locate at either for several days, Mr. Brill declared. He was at o.e time a postal employee and was ousted for tardiness. Relatives said Johnson never taught in county schools. The AFRO several ago had numerous letters to the Forum from an Easel teacher, he signed J. Franklin Johnson. Persons' who have seen the Johnson was a cake-naw for highbrow RITCH BEFORE GOVERNOR A. E.

Deaver Boston, Of School No. 118 Reported To Have Struck Child IMPROPER QUESTION IS ALSO ALLEGED Louvenia Hammond Tells Authorities Instructor Made Immoral Request Upon charges that he had administered corporal punishment to 12 year old Louvinia Hammond, after her charge that he had made an improper proposal, W. Deaver Boston, teacher in School 118, 1200 block Argyle avenue, was given a hearing before the Board of Superintendents at the administration building, Monday afternoon. Pending disposition of the case Mr. Boston has been relieved of his job and is out of which the charges grew so said to have taken place last week according to the Hammond child case. She told her that he wanted to see her. Girl Testines In her statement to the principal of the school, she declared that after asking her, did she have a sweetheart, proposed and that following this he called her to task and when she answered him in a manner which she could not understand, a pointer. When she ran from him, she stumbled and fell down the steps, knocking her unconscious and was taken back by him to the school board, which remained until the children passed out. When the matter was reported to the principal, a report was made to Supervisor Dox, who referred the matter to the school board and Mr. Boston was given a hearing. When seen by a representative of the AFO-AMERICAN, he refused to make a statement stating that he had received proposals of the School Board, and he would await their decision in the matter. Two other girls testified as to Mr. Boston's involvement in the school in other cases. School authorities state that it is necessary to the rules of the Board of Education of the corporal punishment to children in Baltimore public schools. Mr. Boston admitted, it was said, that he had been told he was supposed to give his reasons for doing so, stated that the child had caused a disturbance among the children. Involves Boy In his dervense, Mr. Boston is also a teacher, devoted to a boy, whom he claims he saw taking liberties with the girl in one of the chok rooms, according to Mrs. West guardian of the child, when asked, however by Mrs. West, who lives at 1005 Arlington avenue, at the hearing why he had not reported the matter, he failed to make a satisfactory answer. Other serious steps following the outcome of the School Board's decision may be taken, according to Mrs. West.

JOINT RESOLUTION GENERAL ASSEMBLY 1924 No. 8 Authorizing and directing the Governor of Maryland to appoint a commission to investigate legislation concerning the welfare of colored people residing in the State of Maryland, and requiring said Commission to investigate legislation governing the Governor and General Assembly in 1527. WHEREAS, a petition is signed by numerous colored citizens of Maryland requesting that a committee of white and colored citizens be appointed to conduct an investigation of form life, educational settlement, the administration of the Chesterham institution, general health regulations and other regulations and other matters relative to colored citizens of Maryland, such commission may feel justified for the good of all, therefore be it. RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL COMMISSION OF THE Governor of Maryland, he, and he is hereby authorized to appoint a commission of twenty-one citizens, with a commission shall consider covered race on said commission, and the said commission shall consider covered people residing in the State of Maryland and report with recommendations concerning such legislation to the Governor and to the General Assembly in 1527. Letter Of Transmission Honorable Albert C. Ritchie, Governor of Maryland, Annual Honorable and Dear Sir: The Inter-Racial Commission appointed by your Excellency has been daily appointed to organize a joint Resolution No. 5 adopted by the Legislature of Maryland authorizing the appointment of the Commission. The Commission organizes receiving the conditions for the study of Inter- racial conditions. These divisions are used as a basis in our report and are as follows: 1- Education, Public and Private. 2- Health, Housing and Sanitation. 3- Public Service and Legal Status. 4- Industry and Economic Life. 5- Public Velfare, Charitable and Public Welfare. The Negro population is approximately one-seventh or 14 per cent of the total population and is the fare of these Negro citizens is so interwoven with the general policies of the state that it is recommended specific remedies. The Negro farmer, laborer, family servant, the tradesman, and other tradesmen, makes only the same chance as his white neighbor, an apprentice and to enjoy his home and the fruits of his labor in peace and quiet. Ignorance The Negro's worst enemy, as with others, is ignorance and its train of mind. Just in proportion as these people can be educated into selfrespect and higher standards, they can be educated into death rate decline and the State's cost of courts and jails be proportionally reduced. Repressive measures only aggravate the problem, and the knowledge of the laws of health rewards of good morals, of the fruits of right living make for better lives. While the Negro race must be left to evolve from within, it must not be forbidden to slave or to responsible citizenship has been a wonderful achievement such as no other race has ever made in so short a time. Negroes can make no mistake in taking a gross attitude toward the colored people. This conclusion is borne out by the fact that Negroes are particularly North Carolina, have obtained good results in inter-racial relations through the boards of charity and welfare. The Secretary of this Commission has devoted some months to organizing the wik and to a limited amount of travel and to a limited amount of travel funds to meet expenses and the names of patrons and amounts contributed are listed in a supplementary If an inter-racial organization is audited, it will all over the State, we believe the Investment will be a highly profitable one. The recommendations accompanying this recommendation will confidence that the Governor of the State will be senting all the people, will unite in securing justice and fair play by which the prosperity of the whole state will be respected. SPENGER, Chairman THOS, J. CALLOWAY, Secy. CHAS. W. HOUISLER, Richard B. LARY. BENAMIN SCHWARTZ JUDGE MORRIS A. SOPER ALBERT G. TOWERS ALBERT G. TOWERS REV. GEORGE F. BRAGG W. L. FITZGERALD L. FITZGERALD MRS. ANXA L. MCHECH REV. ALBERT J. MITCHELL CARL MUNPHY MUNPHY Schools PUBLIC SCHOOLS The growth of Negro public schools in recent years has been remarkable. Education on this fact and hope that any inequalities and discrimination the State may be rapidly and thoroughly corrected. Bowie THE STATE NORMAL AT BOVIE: This institution has been established to provide education for training the country teachers of Negro youth. The enrolment of the school from 1923 to 1972 students. In view of the fact that the appropriation for the school during the last four years and that the value of the plant has increased during the last four years, the same period of time, and that the school has been advanced from grammar grade and high school work to the grade level, recommend a continued increase in the appropriations. The school must maintain the rapid progress of this Normal School, it is necessary to have increased facilities and equipment. This Normal School has been greatly improved through the construction of a dormitory and a dormitory recently completed. The Legislature will make a wise use of the funds, primarily grants more money to this school. 18 High Schools There are now eighteen high schools of various grades for Negroes in the city of Baltimore, but one and that in the city of Baltimore. With the increase in school attendance and an advance in the grade of certificates held by teachers, There are a few outstanding needs which this commission feels called upon to present. Asst. State Supervisor There should be an Assistant Supervisor, colored, for the Negro schools of the State. The high schools and colleges should have supervision. This is no reflection what ever on the able services of Professor J. Walter Huffington, the present supervisor. Indeed, we are informed, Prof Huffington, will appoint the appointment of an assistant. Teachers Salaries A revised schedule of salaries for Negro teachers should be adopted. This will require an Amendment of the Code of Education to include instruction recommends the principle of equal pay, grade by grade as shown in the standard and the principle of and of teachers' certificates toward attaining this standard. The State of Maryland shows proceed. The State of Maryland shows proceed. The State of Maryland shows proceed. Well trained, efficient teachers with experience can hardly be secured in any other way. We request that the Board as one of any other class to secure an education. We request that the Board of Education, the Governor and the Superintendent matter into immediate consultation. Bus Transportation In some parts of the counties the colored pupils are very widely scattered, school buildings, which necessitates that some provision be made for the transportation of such pupils in order to ensure the advantages of the public schools. RECOMMENDATIONS I-That additional supervision be provided by appointing an assistant supervisor of color for the Negro schools of the State. Private Schools There are few private schools for the Negroes in Maryland. In scholastic and industrial lines there is Princess Amma Gibbs, a graduate of Maryland with the University of Maryland and doing good work. The Cardinal Gibbs institute recently established a school of African-American excellent work of an industrial, agricultural and high school character. Both of these schools exert considerable influence on people of their respective communities. College Training The School Code of Maryland requires that the school (authorities employ a licensed teacher) be a high school of the State. The eleventh high schools already established, and other to be established, must be canceled or made law. How are the candidates for these high school positions and other positions requiring thorough advanced training? Educational Policy It has been, and still is, the educational policy of the State to aid schools and colleges already in existence for education, and to provide the services of the graduates of those schools is valuable to the public, especially the public schools. The colorado population is 250,000, about one-seventh of 14 percent of the total population. The State aides school, omitting charitable and non-profit schools, 242,500 per year; 1 colored school, $7,000 per year. One-seventh of the population received one thirty-seventh of the total dollars, not ask even a proportionate share of the State Fund, based on population, but we do ask that the manifest needs of these needs and of equity Morgan College RECOMMENDATION That appropriations to aid Morgan College, the only school in Maryland preparing college teachers for the state, of the State, be as liberal as possible. Health, Housing and Sanitation These subjects are very closely allied and are of universal interest and, of common importance to all regardless of the. The Negroes of the State show an alarmingly high death rate in certain areas of the State, as in this: Heavy and hazardous employment; unantibiotic houses and surroundings; over-crowding, caused by high numbers of patients in the high cost of hospital treatment and nursing. Sometimes the patient has an unantibiotic treatment, and refusal of hospital treatment until it is too late. This Commission recommends the increase of hospital facilities and other parts of the State. The loss of the State in labor alone through preventive disease is altogether too great. T. B. Preventorium There are in the State 200 beds for tuberculosis treatment for colored children who may be exposed to a tuberculoid environment. Children and families where tuberculosis if there were a proper prevention tolumor it are at present practically wards for colored women. Efforts now made toward securing hospital facilities. Housing Adequate sanitary housing is so co-operative that nurses and doctors as to be practically determined by these factors. As a general rule people need to be afforded to buy or rent. Where the demand for a very large accommodation and relatively larger and poorer the tendency is to poorer and poorer possible use should be made of Negro physicians and nurses and racial co-operation in sanitary boards and sanitary boards by actual membership where, possible on such boards, and at all events, a advisory bodies or colored workers. RECOMMENDATION That the Governor and the Legislature favor the plans proposed for providing increased hospital accommodation for the colored people of the Stake. Public Service In 1904 the Legislature enacted a law to require railways to provide separate passenger cars for all lines and colored cars for all lines in the State, however, the Court of Appeals subsequently held that the law required that all STATE passengers, (who constitute 90 per cent of the passenger traffic of the State), leaving the terms of the Act to apply only to those passengers from and to points within the State. Jim Crow Laws The effect of the construction of the law by the our own authorities on railway passengers having the longer haul passengers from the necessities of the railway, and for senate accommodations, and to impose the burden and extra cost of rollway railways, which run railroads wholly within the State, some of which have only a few miles of trackage of very irregular traffic. How It Works If John Jones, a negro from Virginia, or from the South travels to Baltimore, Maryland, he travels without segregation. On the other hand, if William Johnson, a white citizen of Maryland, wishes to travel to Baltimore or to other points within the state, he produces some part of the wealth of the State, he is forced under the Act to pay taxes, and he experiences that Act imposes. If any restrictions were necessary they should not be limited to our own citizens who are dutiful and domestic iabor, and respond to every need of the commonwealth to the full extent of their work. Act Of 1904 The Act of 1904 prescribed EQUAL but separate accommodations for the two races. We are known as railroaders, impossible to carry out this provision as to equal accommodation. Railroad equipment must depend upon the amount of traffic and the number of coaches doubling equipment absolutely necessary. We have all seen railway haulers, coaches with not enough passengers in touch of them to properly coach one coach. City Travel Under the separate coach law city travel is not affected. Managers of city travel must be licensed, since the Legislature that such restrictions as provided under the Act of 1806 would be intolerable, greatly increased, and white and colored passengers. Citizens of the counties can well afford to profit by the experience of the city. In lieu of farm hands, with the resultant loss in their products, common sense would be required of friction and misunderstanding. The cities have found it pays to be democratic. Under all natural laws it would be more democratic than city life. Race Alarmsits Notwithstanding the race alarmists who have appeared from time to time, the Negroes have perished when the Negroes have menace to the peace and welfare of the State. They have shown gratitude for the efforts of the Negroes for evens suffered. If the Negroes of 1644 was moved to enact a Separate Conch Law for reasons that seemed to be unjust, the public schools, the effect of good roads, and the general progress of the colored people have removed any causes of the Negroes as excuses for retaining this law. RECOMMENDATION That the Act of 1094, and any other Act relative the acto prescribing regulations for the separation of white carriers and migrants on public carriers, be repealed. In this, even less than in the matter of legal status can we expect direct economic opportunities, particularly said that lack of industrial and economic opportunities are at the root of many racial and inter-racial wage gaps in those occupations paying the least wages, it inevitably follows that the wages must be petted. The increasing cost of these facilities can only be met by opening industrial opportunities to all. Skilled Industries RECOMMENDATION the provision of facilities for Negro youth to fit themselves by scientific increased usefulness in mechanical arts and in scientific industries generally. Public Welfare, Charitable And Penal Institutions The House of reformation at Chelsea, Prince George's County, has 1200 acres under one-half of which is in timber, and one-half of which is under cultivation. have 625 acres. A splendid group of buildings have been erected and approximately 300 boys are committing to study there. The institution, $4,000 is received from the State and Baltimore City. Cheltenham One hundred and fifty dollars per child is needed to provide for the housing and feeding of these boys and their education has forced the management to resort to measures that have not been interested in the interests of the boys. These measures Paroled To Service What is known as "paroled to service" is the apprenticing of boys from this institution for 24 years of age, with no definite requirements for any education whatever. If the private family is willing to provide the service until his imposition, this has probably furnished splendid hometraining in some cases, but the danger is that the student will leave the institution will be retained until they are grown because of their satisfactory service. It appears that such apprentices may cannot shorten his term of service. Hiring Out Boys The worst feature of this institution is that of hiring boys to contractors, and boys told, since the World War, Under this practice, contractors pay the institution 60 cents a day for the boys, who leave on a day off on the job in most cases, and do not return until Saturday night. They are thus removed entirely from the supervision of the institution. Question. From this source the institution derives about $10,000 per year, and has been converted into the Maryland Training School for Boys. It would appear that the experience of that institution would be a guide for the problem at Cheltenham. RECOMMENDATION That the House of Reformation at Cheltamharn be converted into a State Training School for colored boys and that the educational features be developed for the State of Maryland Education. If the Board of Control of this institution will not consent to the proposed change of Charter, all grants from the State of Maryland and from the City of Baltimore be furnished and a State institution be organized. Permanent Commission As it may be necessary that extensive study be made of the subjects alluded to and others, a permanent instructor must be appointed to the Commission and women should be created. This Commission should an appropriation to be used as follows: 1-To employ a thoroughly trained executive to give his whole time to the improvement of the State with Bards and other organizations of the State now in existence for the improvement of racial and inter-mental matters. 2-For employment of adequate office assistants. 3-For traveling expenses. 4-For traveling expenses. 5-For the interruptions undertaken, and for the use of the Commission.
