LOUIS, MO., (Wednesday) A. N. P., By Telegram.—When court convened today, Judge Moses Hartman announced Malone case was postponed until March 21st. It is probable receivership and divorce trial will be held simultaneously. ST. LOUIS, MO.—Answer to a receivership and a counting suit brought by her husband against herself and the Poro College, 4300 St. Ferdinand street, was filed in Circuit Court last week by Mrs. Anna Malone. Aaron Malone the plaintiff, has a separate suit pending for divorce. Following his filing for divorce Malone brought the receivership action on the ground he was a co-partner in the business and, as a result of the domestic bet between himself and his wife, and her remaining at the place of business, he could not get an even division of the profits of the business. Mrs. Malone, through her attorneys, Nagel and Kirby, last week, denied Malone was a co-partner, or that the business had ever been conducted on a partnership basis. She outlined the history of the company. A corporation was formed in December 1914, known as the Lorraine Corp., with 497 shares of stock, which were placed in her husband's name, but the assets of the company were conveyed to her alone and, as a result of this, the stock was hers, but his in name only. Corporation Dissolved The corporation was dissolved in December 1918, and all the property belonged to her alone and, as a result of this, the stock was hers, but his in name only. The stockholders and Board of Directors, of which he was a member, owed to her, as sole owner, by the stockholders and Board of Directors, of which he was a member, even after she stated, her husband never claimed to be a partner, and a claim at this time would be a statute, barred by the statute of limitations. "Nobody Knows Ill" he college, she says, was built solely by her before her marriage in 1914, and with no help from him. She added that it had always been her responsibility by contradicting his allegations that he had established the concern upon a firm basis. She says that she was the founder and proprietress of the college and that nobody knows him. PEERLESS CO, SOLD YEAR OLD CAR WASHINGTON, D. C., JAN.-Dr. T. C.

(Columbia Press) NEW YORK.—According to Oscar Hudson, late, former Liberian Consult in San Francisco, California, the organized Bank of Liberia, one of the chief sources of interest in the Hinterland of Liberia is the holding of court trials or palavers. Who has recently returned from an extensive tour of the Liberian Hinterland, tells of the many trials he observed in the February number of The Messenger: "Notwithstanding the fact that the Liberian Hinterland has long since all of the several tribes of its Hinterland under the domination of its insurgent allies, it obtains among the natives, the lesser offences and petty civil affairs are still punished and redressed under the laws. The tribesmen, seldom if ever have controversies with the natives, the designer, but they will institute a palavar (trial) against each other for the most trivial case, the diplomatic and actuate in these controversies, and the astonishing thing to the outsider is that the tribesmen if ever, accompanied with malice or hate, and generally instituted for purely material or commercial gain "The person against whom judgment is rendered generally takes same philosophically, with the declaration: 'Some will make me ill for it.' You will be soon to account in snort, they give much like other people."

Booth taught S. E. Tuesday afternoon about 4 p. m. The little girl was feel- less, and she proved it to those who were around in that section during the late afternoon. I found her in the hospital, and she purchased a small vial of carbo- alic acid, hurried back home and went to her room on the second floor and went to the hospital. One of the local hospitals the girl told the nurses she was better. She said she to answer the charge of attempting to take her own life. She said she was life. Her mouth was burned pretty badly, other than that she felt none the worse. Do you feel no?" asked Judge McMullen. "All right," responded the would-be suicide. "Think you will try it again?" "No." "Well, I let you off with a $10 fine," ejaculated the Judge. And so Ida passed out to look for her. "Lovey Joe." Ten Nights In a Barroom Charles Gifpin is not the only man to be featured in "Ten Nights in a Barroom." According to police officers testimony, Rufus Johnson was the real and only man to play the role of "Ten Nights in a Barroom." He was found in a near-beer saloon on Seventh Street Thursday night saturated in prohibition's best. He was past going and slouched half way upon the counter to keep from sprawling out on the floor. As usual in a case like the one Johnson was in, the man who can gain an audience and hold it, is always acclaimed the hero of the "Joint" and that's where he was really "shining." When Johnson got on the stand he told what he called a sob story but the Judge told him $10, and Johnson went back. Who Stole the Chickens from the Henhouse, Doon William Hichman was gliding peacefully along Maryland avenue the other day, and an amateur of live chickens.

Some lady by the name of Miss Josephine Hichman said that Bill had been sleeping in the hallway where she lived on P street, S. W., for several nights. She said that his wife was working in the country and he came for her clothes. She said and when do you work?" asked the cludge. "How much fare do you pay?" "Sometimes 55 cents." "That will do. $200 fine or 45 days in jail," responded the Judge. Eight President Assets WASHINGTON, D.

"Why judge that man come sneaking up behind me with a blackjack today and if I hadn't held him and took it away from him I spects he would have messed me up something then I had much trouble out of him," the Magistrate inquired. "Well he hasn't bothered me for the last three years; you see he was sent to the penitentiary in the state, which required him to stay there until just recently and no sooner does he get out of the cluches of the law than he comes around me flirting with the judge."

A story of hard times in the 1200s was always wakes well this year. A boy was asked to extract a price of a cup of coffee from a sympathetic passerby. The two were walking in the 1200s Bible shop when they saw through the window of a bakery shop that the place was at that moment deserted, the storekeeper having probably retired to the rear of the building. Stealthy Jones crept in, careful not to attract attention, and lifted the window to get the tiptoe toward the door with his foot when suddenly almost mysteriously the door shut and licked from the outside and into the room, who conducted confectionery across the street saw Barnes enter and riffle the cash drawer and locked it. Barnes was held a prisoner until the police arrived. Thompson who was supposed to be look-out man was taken to the police and both held for the Grand jury.

Wires President When Carolina Court Won't Indict Mob WALTER WHITE SAYS LYNCHERS ARE KNOWN Governor Can Issue Warrants For Their Arrest Says Association NEW YORK—Failure of the Aiken County, S. C., Grand Jury Friday to indict members of the mob which last October 8 lynched a colored woman and two men of the Lowman family, after removing their victims from the Aiken County Jail, today brought a telegram from the N. A. A. C. P. to Pres. Coolidge, asking him to urge passage of a federal anti-lynching law upon Congress. It also brought a statement from Walter White, assistant secretary of the association and first to investigate the Aiken Lynchings, declaring that the names of the Lynchers are known throughout Aiken county. Lynchers Known "The names of the Aiken县lynchers are known throughout the state, there, I spoke to leading white citizens. The names were freely mentioned to those names in a seven-page letter giving circumstantial facts, to former members of Thomas and South Carolina Swim affidavits of the police in the jail at the time the mob victims were involved, and to my charges that the sterilist and officers of the law connived in delivering the prisoners to the Aiken县. What evidence was presented to the Grand Jury by the state we have of county officials, the state wanted to present evidence warranting indictments, the evidence was at hand. The present Governor was informed. The state detective, W. W. Rogers, had it. And presumably, the state attorney Color Question "The failure of the Aiken county Grand Jury to indict is nothing new," said the judge, who said that South Carolina, despite the appeals of its Governor, its leading editors, and the presiding judge, incited the mob to kill its borders because the mob murders are white and the victims black. The civilization is to travesty the word: Telegram to Coolidge The telegram to President Goulding signed by James Weldon Johnson secretary, and by Mary White Ovington, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association of Teachers of Colored People is as follows: January 29, 1927. Hon. Calvin Coolidge. Yesterday the Grand Jury of Aiken county, South Carolina, indicted a known mob murderer of a colored woman and two colored men, who were removed from the Aiken county jail and done to death October 18. Mr. Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored women, placed in the hands of the governor of South Carolina evidence subsequently substantiated by woven lynchery and stating that offenders participated in the mob murders. The evidence, corroborated by the New York World's special correspondent by the state. The present Governor of South Carolina and leading newsmen, the names of the lynchers are secret in Aiken county. Whatever evidence presented by the Aiken county Grand Jury serves notice upon the country and upon the civilized world the accused is unable to punish mob murders in its midst, that law and orderly so-called break down the United States. The failure to indict the more than 200 victims had been acquitted in court trial and the other two victims were clearly innocent and would without doubt be acquitted. No stronger argument could be presented to the people of the United States to stamp out lynching, the shame of America. We therefore ask the apologist for the Nation and leader of its public opinion, that you make public utterance upon this disgrace upon the Congress of the United States to enact a federal anti-lynching James Weldon Johnson, secretary, Mary White Ovington, chairman, secretary, and sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, Sixty-Nine Fifth Avenue, New York. The Association also telegraphed Governor John G.

PICKENS JUMPS FROM LONDON TO MOSCOW Crosses English Channel To Paris, Thence Thru Germany By Rail POLES HATE RUSSIANS FRENCH HATE GERMANS Color No Issue Says Traveler In Welter Of Many Tongues BY WILLIAM PICKENS (For A.N.P.) PICKENE TELLS RUSSIANS ABOUT U. S. LYNCHINGS NEW YORK.-Letters have just been received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, from William Pickens, of New York, to N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Pickens-states that headressed an audience in Moscow, including twenty-two Chinese generals, a number of Russian leaders and representatives of ten to twelve nations and races. The entire group, writes Mr. Pickens, describes motion pictures being made of the speakers in action. He reports that "The Fire In The Flint" by Walter White, and "Bursting Bonds" by Pickens himself, are to be translated into Russian, and perhaps put on motion pictures, as well as motion pictures. Mr. Pickens has written a comprehensive article on lynching during the past forty years. MOSCOW, RUSSIA. I left London for Moscow via Belgium, Germany and Poland, Ostend, Berlin, and Warsaw. Before leaving London I strolled again thru the British Museum. Looking at the great granite and basaltic statues which the Pharaohs and the kings of the Mesopotamian Valley countries made their subjects carve out for them, grew the idea that that man has not neglected the art for the old Bani-Puts and Ankh-Amens burdened and broke the backs of their people by making them build temples, pyramids and great flattering statues of their rulers, cut the side of more bodies with heads as weapons, arms like sewer pipes and fingers like beer-kegs. But the modern kings of the world, while they may care a little less for flattering statuary to themselves and the gods, yet backs of the people to build banks, railroads to build works." What a difference? What matters it how a back is broken? The Marble Arch On a Sunday afternoon I stopped by the "Marble Arch" at the entrance to Hyde Park to hear the soap-boxers. Of course, they use soap boxes, but regular stands in most cases those used by the orators - no. Seventh Avenue in New York City. But the point is—they use what they please and say what they please. They arrest people in New York for saying what one may say at the Hyde Park gate when spoken to, and a fellow would get maybe fifteen years for a speech for which at the Marble Arch he hardly gets noticed. The police are busy directing traffic nearby and pay no attention to the speeches. Phinl clothes men may be present, they hear that a man is dangerous, and on a line on what he aims at, but they do not interfere. All Religious All religious, all politics, and all philosophies are there,—just talking their derdest. I saw within a few hundred-foot line, facing their various voluntary groups, the following organizations and many others: The Indian Home Rule League, where brown Hindus tell their side; the Primrose League, a conservative party organization which concends itself under that name in order to get a hearing in this strange audience; the Miners; the Salvation Army; the Protestant Alliance; the Catholic Evidence Guild; the Christiadelphian Missions, whatever that is—and so on. In short, a fellow can get whatever he wants here, unhindered; therefore, he puts less value on it; he can say whatever he pleases right out in public; therefore, he says it less violently in public, and says it not at all under cover; at the Marble Arch he can have all the verbal, vocal treason he wants—therefore. he has less interest in treason. The British are shrewd governors. When I wrote the last sentence above, I was in England,—and now it is about six days later and I am just leaving Warsaw, Poland, on way to Moscow. I have had six months many times in life without one sixth of the experiences of these last six days. Getting a little German money in London, I came down to Dover, crossed to Ostend in four and one half hours, a passage worse than four and a half days on the Atlantic. They say that if crossing the English Channel does not make you sick, nothing will. Many were sick. I felt as proud as Gerteide Ederle because I was sick, but I always keep quiet to avoid it.

Lucas, President of its New Orleans Branch, that the New Orleans and Louisiana Segregation Case has been hearing before the United States Supreme Court on Monday, March 7th. The chief counsel retained by the New Orleans Branch, Mr. Loys Charbonnet, is filling necessary briefs and has come to Washington for this purpose. He will confer with the Justice Springig, Vice president of the N. A. A. C. P., and chairman of its National Legal Committee. M. C. A., where those who have no definite homes are entertained. The head of the Dresden Y. M. C. A., is Herr von Prosch, who was a chum of the Saxon crown prince, a prisoner of war, and one who has accepted democratic Germany and gone to work with all his might.

Dresden is full of refugees from East Prussia and Russia, some of them former princes of empires. Many Languages How many languages a European must learn,—in order to live. A Dutch child has to learn to speak English, French, and German, as well as a little place that if one spoke only the language of Holland, he might as well be in jail for life: he could not travel comfortably for half a day. And there are the prejudices that exist between Jews and Germans, hating Germans a bit less, perhaps. Belgians are still unforgiving toward the Germans. It is interesting to a black man to be in a territory where there are other people and not him; on the train from Ostend toward Brussels, two persons wanted my company at dinner, a fat German and a young Belgian. I did not realize the embarrassing task after after after favor of the Belgian because the German had another companion. I was told by the Belgian: "You see, he is German, and did not want to eat with him. He then went on work, and we could not all three take one of the larger tables. Porters Linguists Even the porters on the trains must learn several languages. How simple it is when several languages are used in every sign and direction: one may see—"In cas de danger, titer lambant,"—then under danger, titer lambant, "Riluzzi—"then "In case d Petrificio, titer Panelle," and in English "In case of emergency, pull the handle (or ring)."—A day further on northwest and both Polish and Russian share in the company of languages, giving the simplest directions to travelers.

(ANP.)—"IF whites join a Negro organization with the idea of 'sympathy' and 'benevolence' and 'to help the Negro, they will do more harm than good." They will never do any good until they come in simply as equals and comrades and not as superiors opposing the doomed occupation" declared Leon Trotsky in an interview with William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and contributing editor of the Associated Negro Press, who is now toteholding the interview. The interview was held at the Concession Committee Building Friday and while it was brief, due to the desire and interest of the "Potemkin" on the tour of Mr. Pickens, he was much pleased with the Russian leader's attitude and said: "Trotsky does not have the least conceit and is one of the comradely world-chairmen. I have met." "He was sincerer in his opinions and showed much interest in the race problem in America."

E., were overcrowd by monoxide fumes while starting an automobile truck in the garage of the United Tile Products Co., Eighth and Kourney streets, N. E., Thursday morning. MORE IN LOVE SUIT Continued from page 1 East Lexington automobile dealership his former maid, Miss Daley Turner also of Lexington was convicted. The ex-mail sought $3,500 in three actions in the Middlesex Superior Court before Judge Keating. The largest suit brought by the Turner suit was $2,590 in a breach of promise action. A second suit seeks damages of $1,500. Miss Turner alleged that on various occasions Bolton publicly falsely and maliciously accused her of larceny of various articles from his home. Third Suit In the third suit Miss Turner seeks damages of $10,000. She alleges that the District Court for a secrec-tor to search her home for property, which he alleged had been stolen from his home and concealed in No Right To Love Miss Turner admitted during a crossfire of questions that she had no right to "love" the auto designer and their relations were wrong and had been going on sometime before Bolney's wife died in 1823. Before attorney Daniel O'Connell counsel for Bolney had opportunity to fire another question at her, she did not base her present action on events that took place before Mrs. Bolney missed away. Wild Blood Afire Attorney O'Connell counsel to Bolmy asked, "What did you must logpry 'all the wild blood of my city people to afire in me tonight?" Radeliffe Grad "I meant I loved him and wanted him, that is all I meant to cover" replied the maid who her friends stated. "What did you mean that tires because she ceases to interest him?" This was also included in the love letter she admitted pennning to the auto dealer. "He told me he was tired of Mrs. Bolina, she replied, seemingly to me, "I have a thick and cross ornamentation to which she has been subjected for days." Deluge Of Kisses For the benefit of the jury Miss Miss Turner painted a graphic portrait of Holly, clinging with her hands to her chin in a defection for her in an impassioned oration. In cross examination she insisted she was but 40 years of age, and always been known by her own father. Birth Certificate Her counsel produced a document supporting to be a birth certificate from Grutton, N.C., her birthplace (the county), the county record of Jessie Turner, born in 1883, stating it was that of the witness, making her out 44 years of age. She then explained the difference between the name and the one she goes by now. "When I was young, neighbors used to come to the house to see my folks," she said. "They sit in the kitchen, they call me 'Daisy' how they started to call me." Found In His Trouser While expecting to marry Mr. Boinay, and awaiting the coming of the wedding date, according to Miss Turner's testimony, she discovered in his pursuits, which she was about to press, a number of love letters from a woman. That evening, according to Miss Turner, she had a physical combat with Boinay. Fight In The Kitchen "We had a fight over the kitchen door," she said. "We tipped over the door and the woman came in and said, "You are a brave to treat Dab" like this. You have always said how much you treated of her, why are you treating her so brave to be shamed, she ought to have good you. It would serve you right." Tried To Kill Him "Did you try to kill him?" asked counsel. "I did," answered Miss Turner in a low voice. Nex marched on, holding Bolney pleaded for forgiveness, put his arms about her and kissed her. The fading of these letters was the first intimation she had that she was to be fitted for another bride, and that she testified that Bolney subsequently married the other woman, Bolney married Miss Laura London (white) of South Natick, who since the start of the present English period has beside Bolney in the courtroom. Ardour Love Letters The ex-mail read a number of ardent love letters, which she claimed she received from Boinny. She described in detail her alleged relations with Boinny, which according to her testimony, were at times extremely affectionate. A highlight of the trial was when M. Turner resumed the evidence a love letter to the account of Boinny of sending her, entitled "Absolution", which read as follows: Early Monday Mrs. Estelle Jacobs (white) told of making a special trip from her home in Chicago to testify for the former maid, whom she has known some 15 years. She told of being present at Boinny's funeral in January 1924 and of a midnight super with Boldnay, his maid and herself. Couple Found Together Couple Found Together She told of going into Daisy's room, finding Bolinny there with the mud, and of a conversation which ensued at the breakfast table, during which Bolinny told her he intended marrying his maid just as soon as he could get his business affairs arranged, subjected to a wild cross-examination direct testimony concerning her visit to the house. She steadfastly maintained she had been present, and kept the court room in an uprear parrying the thrusts of defiance.

Judge Keating called counsel to the bench and the question of the admissibility of the evidence was threshed in a half-hour debate, following which Mr. Smith was excused from the stand. ```markdown ``` PORO Over three million pleased persons endorse Poro Products.

Mr. Cary, with the League since its inception in this city and is considered the father of the movement locally.

Progress Shown The report of the officers as given at the meeting showed marked progress for this new organization among the people of Baltimore, with whom it years ago. December it has rapidly found its place in the lives of the colored people as is attested by the many calls for its services. The report of the executive committee among other things, that the Loqueg has placed seven white speakers before colored audiences in the past year; that the executive has addressed nineteen of the white groups; and that a prominent part has been taken in other affairs of an interracial nature including the Oxford-Lincoln Debate and an interracial conference of 20 white groups present. During the year a study of the death rates of the Baltimore Negro end of the hospital facilities was made of improvement in the clock around the new colored elementary school were secured from the city fathers.

Class for the future include the celebration of "Negro in Industry Week March" cooperation with the National Negro Week groups; promotion of inter-racial gatherings; and the formation of city-wide case work conferences in cooperation with the Family Welfare Association.

Principal Should Be Administrator Not A Lamp Lighter.—Inviting Mayor To Speak Termed Political Move. Coming of President Mordecai Johnson Watched As Another Booster Attempt. Fifth of a series of articles on Douglass High School Baltimore by an alumnus of the school. As education becomes more and more important in our national life, those who administer our schools must continually meet higher requirements. As the cost of school purchases inevitably seek the services of school executives who make expensive buildings pay for what is put into them. In other words, it is important to have a man give up schools and put little principals in charge of them. The modern principal, therefore, should be a big man, an educational expert who trusts sense. To be a principal, he must do at least two thirties. First he must improve instruction in his class by making constructive suggestions. Second, he must tone to his school. It will not take long to prove that Mr. Mason Hawkins falls short of both requirements in Douglass High School. To begin, he must visit our students. I am told that his classroom visitors are to merely a series of educational antics, and furnish a butt of ridicule for the youngsters in the school. Lights And Inkwells Instead of being interested in the instruction and observing in a dignified manner he fervently examines the inkwells and adjusts the curtains with infinite care. These are the teachers he surreptitiously buys but. But they are only meant to an end. But Mason Hawkins regards them as being of prime importance to teachers to maintain order by his presence, the principal has often actually thrown classes in disorder, the teacher makes himself an official lamp-holder, he is not likely to have the respect of the student. Goes When Needed A big principal visits classes often enough to find out what is going on, but not often enough to visit. He is needed. He does not make his supervisory visits merely an occasion for venting his spleen on teachers he is needed. A man big enough for the job would not nag such teachers about the mechanics of classroom management, and thereby impair his ability to leave his favorites to do as they please. In short, a real principal keeps his supervision on a professional plane. The principal does not enter a classroom, but in on the lesson, take the class from the teacher and then proceed to show off. Moreover, he does not get up with his classmates to try to hide his discomfiture by a barrage of big words. Such flap-doodles as these not only make the administration ridiculous, but show the smallness of the man who indulges in them. Real Problems A principal fit for the job Mr. VETS URGED TO KEEP WAR RISK INSURANCE The United States Veterans' Bureau has sent out a country-wide appeal, urging all war veterans, who have not done so, to secure insurance for their war risk insurance, if it has lapsed. Many veterans, it is said, do not seem to know that even the they have allowed their insurance to the government, the exceedingly low premium rate which the government gave to them by the payment of two monthly premiums, provided they are in good health, are not in good health, there are provisions made for reinsurance by the payment of premiums and interest payments in some cases, even these premiums and interest payments are not required. Only has this insurance a low premium rate, but provides all of the forms of insurance or similar protective policies. Provision is made for extended insurance paid by the veterans' tender values, and dividend participation.

More than twenty five thousand agents. Sail Poro Products. Hawkins holds would devote his faculty meetings to the discussion of real educational problems. He is able to rate teachers over the costs, for signing the register at $4.50 a.m. instead of $4.44 a.m. I hear that the spirit of poetry in his department has been copied by his subordinates and pervades the whole school. His students strive to emulate him in their department, and he teaches the teachers time, beating them for such heinous defenses as those: allowing two pupils to occupy one seat, not having the end of every period, etc. I would wear the reader to learn all the misdeans that teachers in the school are said to be criticized for. In short, administration in the Doughlass High, is little but wretched fault finding; and supervision degenerates. If all the things reported about Mr. Hawkins and his department heads are true, they are no more than educational provocateurs, and small ones like the be fond of saying: "All it goes back to the teacher"; "All of this petty stuff certainly" "goes back to the principal"; "for Mr. Hawkins; and money spent on the school when he administers it, it is not put to its best use."—Tone. Furthermore, he has failed miserably in giving tone to the institution. The principal of a school attends to the main campus, and most of the staff will leave most of the routine to the vice-principal, or even to clerks. Needless to say, he should give an impression of power and the background, with a reserve of power, ever ready to back up the teachers, and help them with problems they cannot solve. Any typo in school administration is a bad idea. Of course, this cannot be done, if the principal is unduly offensive and meddles in every little thing, and from his dignity and thereby hurts the tone of the school. A principal who bobs up everywhere and tries to stock of himself. The following incident is typical of Mr. Hawkins' administrative methods. Murray Jackson Expects I am to be the principal January twenty-first last, he expected Mayor Jackson to address his school. Naturally, he was anxious to make as good a showing as possible, the true state of affairs in his school. Any principal would have been glad to make a good showing. The true principal would have let his subordinates work out the details, and would have been satisfied to present the visiting official. A big man appears. He does not pose with him. He does not pose his nose into everything. But what is the principal of the department said to have done? For one thing, he seems to have disturbed the routine of his WOMEN DISAGREE ON CONVICT FRAZIER OF COUNCILMANIC FIGHT 2ND DEGREE MURDER THINK CANDIDATES SHOULD GET TOGETHER Mrs. Jennie Ross Suggests That Men Agree To Support Ones Who Can Win That women of the Fourth District who are active in politics are not in accord with the proposition offered by the Republican Central Committee that the councilmanic ticket of that district consist of a colored candidate, a Gentile and a Jew, was made known to an inquiring reporter this week. Mrs. Jennie Ross, of 2047 Division street says "Personally, I would be glad to see, represented in the 4th District for nomination, one Negro, one Hebrew, one Gentleman. I think the ticket would win with a representative from each race. I am hoping that the Colored candidates will get together and settle on one man, and give their support. V. G. Coleman of 2030 McColloh street says—The Colored man is a great factor in the affairs of the finest citizens are found in the 4th District, where they pay very heavy taxes, high rents, and the highest prices on property. Here are found men and women ever at any call for civic settlement. No Gentile or Jew can fully represent the Negro, for they are ignorant as well as his qualifications. Taxation without representation is as unjust in 1927 as it was in 1776. The 4th District, by all means, should be represented by two highly qualified men and one Jew Gentile. Mrs. George McMechen says, "Most assuredly, there should be three honest representatives in the 4th District in the City Council. There should be no question as to whether they be black or white. But since it is not clear whether they are to color, thereby lessening the privileges of some, and according greater opportunities to others, brings about a questionable opinion about the color of the public office. Therefore, wards, and districts, segregated as to color, should certainly be represented by the person (man) most sympathetic and efficient. That, in turn, would lead me to believe that the 4th District should have two colored representatives in the white white citizen be Jew, Irish, German, Italian or whatnot, his duties would require, necessary cooperation and efficiency among the white white citizen be represented in the 4th District. the Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Snogoping --- bedham-ridden school.

If the necessity of auditorium, he could have performed the necessary computation. That was not the reason for assembling them. He feared they would disguise him by disorder, if the May Teacher Of Musle But to show how his littleness appears on all occasions, I thought Mr. Llewellyn Wilson was teacher in the high School, and was competent to lead the singing. But Musson Hawkins thought otherwise. Rather than allow a "mere teacher" to have that coveted position, he told the singing himself, "the singing himself." de First the school song "My Country 'Tis Of Three"; next the "Star-Spirit Band"; finally the Baltimore Our Baltimore.

But I am told that he did not mind the second period's work, or go straight to the third period. Of course, indescribable confusion would result from this anywhere.

Frazier, who is a notorious character, Baltimore. He was accused of the murder of Smith after the latter was found shot near the former's saloon. After the shooting he called the police station, and two men had attempted to hold him up and he had shot one of them. It was later made known by Deaver Montgomery with Smith at the time of the shooting, that Frazier and Smith had engaged in an argument over Lenora Hemphill, a sixteen-year-old girl, and THE ALTERED THE SHOOTING took place. Frazier who is 31 years of age is a well known character, to the Northwestern police. On several occasions an armed 100 man has been taken from his cabaret in raids. Frazier has managed in all cases however to squirm out of all difficulties. The girl was said to have recently come to the city from Nor'i Carolina and Frazier and Smith were both in prison. The matron and turnkey of the station where the witnesses were locked up declared that they overheard Frazier talk as he did about the holdup he would take care of her when he got out. The girl refused however and declared that she would tell the truth. Sentence was suspenseful and the verdict of guilty after deliberating only eight minutes. Paid $50,000 To Divorce Husband MUSKOGEE, OKLA., (PNS.)—Miss Exle Fife Tolleson, Eufaula, Okla., Indian girl, early in 1924 signed away $50,000 of the funds held trust by the trustee to obtain $500,000 in cash and a divorce from her white husband, Berlin Jackson, she testified in federal district court here Thursday. The holder of Tulsa, former congressman, and seven Eufaula, Okla., attorneys are on trial charged with conspiring to defeat the Indian girl in making an excessive charge for the divorce. Gain in Strength---Increase Vitality In 30 Days or Money Back did not reach the high school the day he was expected. All of this preparation time was lost. Recently, the mayor of Douglass High School is properly run, why was it necessary to call a great assembly, drill the children and practice them in activities which ought to be normal routine? Johnny Mrs. Jervin and Mrs. Brown of the school board have paid special visits to the school. The school principal and intermentists staff is also frequently there. Why is it necessary to warn department heads, teachers and pupils when the school has visitors? A good housekeeper cleans house when company comes. She cleans it beforehand, and if she's a capable woman she keeps a clean room working at the job every day. When Mr. Coulbourn arrives at Douglass HI word is passed around that "Johnny" is in the building. Appeal To Politics Having the mayor at Douglass High School was evidently a political man in the part of Mr. Johnny's friends. Finding his work under fire his friends call a public meeting at the college and crowd of the Boole are present. They, together with his political allies, W. L. Fitzgerald, took the lead in having a resolution passed declaring the Hi School administration Ten to one these same gentlemen added by the McCards and other students to the move to have the Mayor at the High School. What for? - a political demonstration to hide mal-administration. The Cover Off Another political gesture, it seems, is the movement to have Dr. Mordecai Johnson, University spokesman at Douglass High School, February 22nd. We welcome Dr. Johnson to Baltimore, more than the High School. But from what we know of the politicians behind the move, it becomes more evident that the meeting is another step in the process. If this is not so why all the collection of funds from the public to "finance" such a meeting is held in the high school where rent is free and the speech delivered by an orator who will not charge a penny to those of Douglass High School to watch this meeting and see if it is not to boost Mr. Hawkins' stock. Mayor Jackson recently said that Baltimore needed smaller school buildings, he made no precedent request to the Huffington Post; but if he had thought of it, he should have said that we also need bigger principals. Big buildings need bigger principals, well together. A school executive should fill ever nook and corner of a job. He should not move in if he can't rutting around in a household. STATEMENT OF DYING WIFE SAVES CLERK The deathbed statement of Mrs. Irene Banks, in which she took the blame for firing the shot that later ended in her death saved John Banks, a mail carrier from conviction of murder in the Criminal Court Thursday. The woman died in the Mercy Hospital on December 9th, from a bullet wound in the neck which shattered her spinal cord. Banks was arrested following the shooting which took place in their home at 11:30 a.m. three days prior to his wife's death. Neighbors testified that they heard the pair quarrelling and Mrs. Rachel Moore, 323 West 28th St., declared on the stand that she heard the N.A. being with the man not shoot her. Shooting Accidental Banks declared that his wife had accidentally shot herself while playing with a revolver and he declared that the negotiation he was trying to persuade her to put the weapon away. She insisted that it was not loaded he declared and he insisted that it finally discharged. He summoned the police, himself, he testified and had his wife removed to the hospital. The peculiar way the bullet had entered the neck from the rear made hospital authorities doubtful of the story told of how the shooting occurred and Banks was charged with the shooting. 48 Stitches; 175 Lbs; 6 Mths.

Judge Says Government Has Sacred Obligation To Guarantee Pledge Of Citizenship "We are full fledged citizens of this country entitled to all the rights and the government, by the sacredness of contract embodied in the constitution, is bound to guarantee to the judge and privileges, said Judge James A. Cobb, a member of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbus, at address the Drummond Branch of the M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon. -Judge Cobb's subject was "The Obligation of a Contract to Serve." He was introduced by Roy S. Bond, president of the Monumental Bar Association, said the Judge. "The machinery of government is based upon a contract—the constitution which is an agreement between the government "The Dred Scott decision, by Chief Justice Taney declared that Negroes were not citizens, but the 19th and 20th centuries, while the 15th amendment wiped the word color, out of the constitution. These parts of the constitution, rated citizenship under the government, superior to state citizenship. "As citizens of this country we should always do our part to support the government. In accordance to demand that our government do its duty by us. "During the war I was criticised for urging our people to liberty and applied that it is first the duty of a citizen to perform his duty to his government, then the government would do its part. The speaker quoted the Supreme Court's decisions of Chief Justice Story and White, and decisions in several cases, all supporting the argument that we are concerned, full fledged citizens of this country. "The citizen who sits quietly by while the rights of his group are being voted. is not a good citizen, because he is not doing anything, instead of about of good government. It is only a step from the lynching of Negro to the lynching of a white man. "History shows that the fall of governments has come when a government failed to shade its control over its citizens," the speaker included. He cited the cases of Rome, of When your nose —is almost useless for breathing purposes— and your throat —feels as if it had been sandpapered— and you cough —until you are a nuisance to yourself and to others— take a LUDEN'S —and see how quickly relief comes — millions do.

He has a strong interest played by the female contingent was usual a source of pride and wonder. I need not say that the costumes, artistry and design. All who have seen the show can testify to that. The juggling minstrel sold his tricks to the public. There is a new straight man and he is also the soloist. He has a pleasing apparently well-trained vocalist, sentimental numbers and a new top dancer were the only new features. One of the comedians gave a sudden display of grotesque laughter and a jovialy illuminated audience fill for more. He seems to have developed new speed since his last appearance. "Shuffle Along" at the Regent may be one "Shuffle Along" but I don't believe its the original. I recognized two of the principals as members who shows here within the week. The chorus was snappy and worse beautiful costumes. Too much work however was left to the man, though they seemed to be among the best they made the show one-sided. The straight man in this show is a fine young follow-up to the Black Bottom, very well. He also put over a couple of sentimental songs in a pleasing way. His carelessly intimate voice seemed to tickle every one. He danced to dance herself wild. She and a male partner put on a good demonstration of the Black Bottom. In the show she seemed to drag and I believe it was because the comedians hogged all the spots. They even forgot to work on them. The show seemed to drag and I believe it was because the comedians busy acting themselves. Maybe some day we shall be able to realize what work means.

FILM REVIEWS In presenting "The Black Pirate" which is coming here, Douglass Furbanks is up to one of his pioneers. The story is an original from the facile pen of Mr. Klon Thomas. All the "yo-hos" and "avavus" of 17th century pirates and "avavus" of 17th century pirates write everything that any pirate ever did, from burying treasure to walking the plank. Without being specific, Furbanks tells the story of a cute, thus giving his adventure plenty of sea room. Albert Parker was custodian of the megaphone on "The Black Pirate." The young leading lady who is rapidly heading for stardom, furnishes the pitchture in this picture and also Doug's motive for cleaning up a couple of Mr. Fairbanks opens the picture we are told, where most of them stand up a galloon along with the passengers and crew. After this passenger incident things get exciting, and the man goes back to the black pirate, rowing about and capturing ships single-handed and all that. All told two ships are blown apart and the hero is made well with planks and just how he extricated himself from that unhappy predicament after he blind his back is quite a story in itself. After viewing this film there no doubt will be an exodus of small vessels with vaulted lots and back yards to dig for the huge quantities of doubloons and pieces of eight that they contain. With a story flavored by the tango of the sea and highly spiced with Falbarbanks stunts and the wildness of a ploughing romance, it would seem that much is in store for those who go down to the screen in cushioned unfilled of flickering fantasies. The cast for the picture is of very compact dimensions. There are three actors: Billie Dove and Tempte Piguit, the latter in the role of maid to the heroine. Other featured players are Anders, who is a pirate captain (the brunette); the Grusso, a pirate; and Donal Crisp as a genial kind of a pirate. In support of his role, he is of his wickedly looking freebooters as ever stepped out of a story book. CAREY "PADLOCKED" The tremendous furore 'Padlocked' has created as a Cosmopolitan amateur serial is impressively proof that it is a story rich in human appeal, dramatic vigor, strength and realism. Line with the newest craze, Loa Meran introduces two new dances that are certain to intrigue the fancy of the great majority of children in a La Tamale," an adaptation of the Charleston to the Spanish dance; the other is the "Charleston to King," a combination of Charleston and the classic ballet dance. An amusing "kid party," at which children are peering in children's clothing, is one of the fascinating features of the film. How New York millionaires amuse themselves is shown via a magnificent garden party at a fashionable Long Island estate. Forty of the most beautiful girls to be Hollywood appear in this sequence. The atmosphere of Broadway night life is vividly reproduced with For grim realism there is a reformatory scene that for sheer pathos and emotional appeal has sedimented on the cast Edith Gilbert Lale McKinney Gilbert Noah Berry Mrs. Alcott Louise Dresser Belle Galloway Helen Jerome Eddy Pelt Ellen Simpson Mrs. Gilbert Pelt "Tubby" Clark Richard Arlen Monte Hermann Charles, Lane "Sonny" Galloway Gladys Falkhanks, Jr. Blanche Galloway Charlot Bird DUNBAR "MIDNIGHT SUN" "The Midnight Sun" is notable because of its dramatic and gripping story, as well as its gorgeous ensembles. The story is a highly dramatic tale from the Carr, who has four leading characters: the premiere dansuee of the Imperial Russian Ballet, portrayed by the Carr and Duke Sergius played by Pat F. McAlon; Russius leading banker, portrayed by George Seigman; and Alexis, a young Russian dancer, portrayed by Keane, Buchowetzki's recent "End." All three are in love with the girl, Olga, and how she pits the Grand Duke, to save her lover's life makes a stirring romance filled with thrills. Others in the cast include Arribas Joy, Cesare Gravina, Earl Metcalf, M. Vavitch, Nikoli Sousain, Nina Romanol, Medeu Radsain, Albert Prisco and George B. One of the huse sets especially constructed for the picture, under the supervision of Buchovetzki, was a reproduction of the great theatre housing the Imperial Russian Ballet.

The prisoner, who has refused to talk through a courtroom, twentyeight years old, has as instructed to tell his tale to the kind hearted warden. His story is as follows: The prisoner, as a young man, has been a muscular, is named Boss. He was a partner in a traveling carnival acrobatic art with a beautiful girl, Bertha, whom Boss idolized. She, however, was a selfish little filie who made Boss price. The carnival was playing in an outlying section of a great European city. To the fact that it still required igromabatic star in the world—and a notorious shlock among women, Artillin was facing the prospect of losing a very valuable girl. He had been summoned: Winter Garden because of the loss of his partner in an accident. He was looking for another sort of girl to join him. At sight of the beautiful Bertha, Artillin at once made a lucrative proposition to Boss and girl to join him. Winter Garden they accepted. So soon they became the sensation of Europe and packed the great theatre at every performance. The girl was the triple death-defying somersault in which Artillin's life depended upon the skill of Boss in catching him. He two hundred feet above the heads of the audience. Meantime, off-stage, Artillin was making every effort to lure Bertha and succeed. For some time the two kept their guilty knowledge away from Boss but at last, through gossip in a cafe, Boss learned the During the performance that night, he debated with himself whether or not to kill Mr. Tarrer. He could not persuade him, knowing he could hurt his rift to death simply by failing to catch his flying wrists by a fraction of an inch. Right up to the moment he traced his loss his nerve and permitted the fear to be successfully accomplished. But—that night he sought Arnell in his room and laughed, the two fought it out. The struggle ended with the death of Arinelli, and Boss gave himself up to the police. The scene shifts back to Prisoner 76 telling his story to the warden. L. U. T. Mt. Olive Beneficial Asso.

Bert has one of those soft, soothing voices that he masters with ease and was recalled several times before the "gang" was satisfied. There is also Martha Copeland, recalled by the Easton's famous trio, who renders her Aunt Jemima and several appealing "blues". Mildred Graves, who hails from Baltimore and was a singer in the early 1960s, has a nice voice for the love songs that she is singing. Than there are the Lawsuits, Angeline and Claude, Coley Grant and Billy Moore, each doing what well he can. Paul Floyd is straight man, that means that this show has no need to worry as far as a speaker of lines is concerned. In the first place Paul has been in the game about. Second, he has that which so many straight characters lack, personality and last he fails to murder the English language. When the company has finished the annis of "Shuffle Along" the show takes on new life, a sort of 2-1. The Easton Trio sings, dances, Howell fiddles and Syd plays the organ. Syd finds new chords in the instrument. Mae Barnes in her specialties fairly riffs causing much laughter with her seeming difficulty in being able to repeat her routine after being corrupted.

Ness, manager of the Potoboi Art Theatre recently, where the play will be produced, the future Carrying the sanguine and symbolic name of "lee River", the drama won first prize in the National Drama League contest of 1926. Author Interested The author is famous Rideout, Professor of Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California, and is a native son of California. Mr. Rideout impressed me as being entirely free from racial prejudices and sincere in his desire to mold a sympathetic bond of understanding between the same time the subject of intermarriage the mighty blow as did "White Cargo." Mr. Rideout has made a first hand study of his subject, and while the play will be very entertaining to a mixed audience, it will make the average man in the river a thinking man for "Deep River" is concerned with the dangerous undercurrents which draw and pull one from his native land only to be dissatisfied with the things most longed for in the end. It is a calamitous tale of a New Orleans Negro, Israel DuBois, who having become stranded in Paris at the beginning of the War, joins the French Army, marries a French woman who has married a French man, and becomes reluctant smile of his (DuBois') former white boss, Major Edward Powell, in charge of a group of colored troops from America. The casual meeting with a few men from Powell's troops causes him to leave his friends. A friend, Samia Sarr, a discharged Senegalese soldier, prating of the African freedmen, sounds a tractic note, and the "Deep River" of life, goes on and on and DuBois is bound to follow its great current. Two Whites In The Cast There are, six main Negro and two white participants, in which not yet chosen, will probably include a well-known white film actress in the role of Lise, the wife of DuBois, and entire Negro cast will be secured for the other participants, instead of whites with their faces blackened. If the play is successful, her arrangements will be for four. The main plot of the story was told the author by a "down and out" Negro in Paris, when Mr. Rideau was there during the War.

Miller's spectacular production "Brown Skin Models" has returned to the Royal for a week' run and from all indications, the manager and producer are in for a good harvest. The show goes down in practically fashion as when previously presented here, and with the exception of a few new faces, familiarity is prominent. Doe Doe Green is filling the shoes of George Crawford and Andy Razaf has been allotted the role previously handled by George Crawford, and Jason being more fitted for the role. His crooning style accompanying himself with a "uke" was very entertaining. Especially noticeable was his mimicking in which he promphed his words. George Williams and "Minstrel" Morris, each in their respective styles run neck and neck for public favor. These two joys working under comedians to pattern after in the line of dress. The former does specialities in full dress, while the latter appears attired in a tuxedo. The singing in the female department is given over to Eva Metcalf, soprano, whose voice is soft and melodious. When it comes to dancing, the Models are in a home. From princess to the chorus, everybody steps. Lilly Yuen is past-mistress at doing the "Charleston" and "Black Bottom." Lavenia Mack, a tan dancer deluxe and has added to her taps since her last appearance here. As for the members of the chorus, here we find some real tercisephan artists. Young, Lyles is active all through the modeling, his big hit when he heads the chorus and models in a number called "By the Sea." With the aid of a film this number is one of the show's big hits. Monte Hawley and Blanch Thompson gracefully executed a Spanish dance routine. There are oceans of feminine beauty to feast the eyes upon in Models. Olivia Yonn and Leila Legrange will class in fact, Mr. Miller put in this show, he did not lose any time in selecting beauties. Several scenes and the costumes used in the show are worth seeing, William Sibby, dancer is in a class by himself, the boy is a steeper of rare ability, and an A-1 acrobat. His knack of pulling funny faces and his humorous stunts help to make him a great seller. We recommend that the fellow be allowed to work under cork for 100 per cent efficiency.

The show, so reports go, has been enjoying a splendid run of business since the opening of the new season of 1927. Starting off the week of January 31, will see another good attraction grazing the boards of the Bijou in the appearance of Boisy De Lege's "Bandana Girls" Company. This too, so reports go, has been doing nicely over the past few weeks. Starting off February 7th, first time in Nashville, will see another Irvin C. Miller holding forth at the Bijou. This being none other than the much heralded success "Desires of 1927." Opening the week of February 14th, will see the show known as "Kentucky Sue" holding forth at the Bijou. This show too, so reports state, seems to be the most successful on its tour of the T. O. R. A. Taking over the week of February 21st, return engagement of the Biljou, will see another Jervin C. Miller succeed in his role. He heralded success known as "Red Hot Mama" with such stars as Miss Gertrude Saunders at its helm, along with a host of other past masters in the art of meritorious amusements. It was about the month of November 1, 1926, when this show was in Neshville. "Dixie Brevities" Miller and Slater's world famous song and dance revue "Dixie Brevities" held their engagement here, Sunday night.

Board of Directors, N. A. A. C. P. "THE LONESOME ROAD" By Paul Green. Published by Robert M. McBride & Company. 7 W. 18th Street. New York City. Price. $2.00. By mail $2.10. This is not the first time that I have called the attention of readers of Book Chat of Paul Green. If I have been more enthusiastic before, the popular vote has not been with me, for only today has Paul Green arrived. "In Abraham's Bosom," with Julius Bledsoe in the leading part, is having a run at the Provincetown Playhouse in New York. If I positions for any length of time, Paul Green will take his place with the success at the cen- The volume under review contains six one-act plays, all tragedies. Doubtless six of Eugene O'Nell's one-act plays, or a dozen for that matter, would all be tragedies for Eugene O'Nell is essentially a tragedian. But Paul Green has shown us that he has a light and lovely touch, and has distinctly disappointing and hacking in verity to finish an inspiring North Carolina Nellore always meeting failings to chance does anyone of his. Negroes win through. White Dresses One of the plays, "White Dresser," tells of the love of a light colored girl for a white man and of the impossibility of their even indulging their passion, since, unknown to one another, they are half brother and sister. Another, "The End of the Row," also depicts the love of mulatto and white, this time of a girl of some education. She is hated by her companions because she knows more than they and she ends by giving herself to the widows, "The Prayer Meeting," and "The Hot Iron" have only Negro characters. But the gloom is thick hero also. In the first, an old mummy goes all the younger generation go to destruction; in the second, the children are sacred; in the third, the brutal husband is length—but I won't tell this ending, only that it is as frightful as it could well be made. In Abraham's Bosom Two scenes from "In Abraham's Bosom" are given here. As presented in New York, it is in seven scenes. The first scene, and the first play in the book, is an exquisite bit of art. NEW A "Wow" of a Call Vernon 6016 Istry. Abraham wants to study and to teach and everyone but his wife hates his books and peers at him. He travels "The Lonesome Road" to school sympathize with the Lonesome. The Negroes close his school, only one little boy wanting to stay on. But I won't spoil the play by telling the story. It's ending is stark tragedy. As acted at the Provincetown, it has great sympathy for it is monotonous in its hopelessness. The N. A. A. C. P. has been blamed often for drawing as tragic a picture as it does of the South, but Paul Green's section of North Carolina is worse than anything we have learned about. Lunchings and burnings are sporadic, but thwarted ambition in "The Lonesome Road" is the rule. No one can rise from his deadening environment. Are there to be no new Negro themes? The light colored girl and the white man, how tired we are of them! The statement: "White blood coming to do top. Dat make him wanna climb up and be sumpin" we have heard that so often and know it so foolish. This is surely the talk of yesterday. I do not doubt that Mr. Green has seen all he deplays. He tells us that he grew up to know well a bit of the farmland of North Carolina. But it is disappointed that he doesn't know the No Count Box" should bring out such a volume "The Lonesome Goad." It is as sad as Eric Waldron's "Tropic Death." He continues, "I want to thank you for your candid opinion of my show which played the Royal, has week. It is my aim and effort to make Miss Patterson one of the greatest stars on the speaking stage. She has talent and above all, personality."

Locke's Catalogue For Art Exhibit NEW YORK.--An illustrated brochure and catalogue of the Blondon Theater Arts collection which will be exhibited in New York. February 7. is being prepared by Dr. Alaine Locke, who located the collection. An exhibition, which is heredad as one of the leading art events in New York, will feature primitive African sculpture and craft arts. The collection, which was formerly the property of a Belgian, who spent 25 years in assembling it, was acquired last summer by Theater Arts monthly. There are more than a thousand pieces, including, every and hand carving, meeting work, decorated carpentry, painting and pottery, and they represent a complete picture of the art work of the Congo region. The exhibit will open February 7, and close March 5. Cuney Conner Here Cuney Conner, former Baltimoreian has returned here as the musical director of "Brown Skin Models," and states that he is always glad to get back to his old warring grounds. He is always so easy to make the rough spots in the show pass the notice of the patrons, his latest stunt being to render soft, continuous music all through the show. This novel form of playing adds much color to the show as well as the mind toward anything that may lend toward the monotonous point.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md. —South's Biggest and Best Weekly YOUTHFUL NOVELIST IS T. O. B. A. DOPE SCENARIO WRITER By W. R. ARNOLD NEW YORK'S LATEST REVUE A Wonderful Cast Harry Liscomb May Sign With Paramount Movie Corporation, NEW YORK—Harry Francis Liscomb, 435 W. 126th street, is now engaged in putting the finishing touches to the ten scenarios he has created with the Famous "Player's" favorite stars. The young author confidentially told an AFRO reporter, sent to interview him, that if present negotiations are carried out successfully by the two parties involved in the transaction, he may ask his employer to assist with the Paramount organization. Mr. Liscomb hopes some day to personally produce his stories upon the silver sheet. His latest title, bearing the intriguing title of *Missing Baughman*, is also being published by a former publication. Harry believes would make a splendid starring vehicle for Clara Bow. Although the youngster has just reached the vaping age he may justly no classified as a veteran in the writing game. He has started a series and articles to the magazines and newspapers ever since he was fourteen years old. His literary efforts in later years captured the fancy of the film magnates. But he has consistently refused fluttering off made him by the larger movie comparisons in the must. Mr. Lissomba has spent the last two years making an intensive study of the "story needs" of the stars now shining brightly in the Famous Players-Lasky for and subsequent years he will be able to achieve his best results with that organization. The indefatigable young writer also hastens to add that his parents were born in Cumberland County, Virginia, and the rest of the family, consisting of two brothers, his three sisters and himself, are native New Yorkers. Ye humble scribe gathered from the beaming Lissomba that he knew many moments collecting data for his new book, tentatively titled "Lad's Lovers." A card from Messrs.

He shows the folk some well executed he steps and brings the waltz clock down to pace. Helen Bombraire and Helen Baxter, two New York girls, appear in a new comic skit which is refreshing and well received. Miss Baxter is especially pleasing in her characterization of a washerwoman and her children and dances play neatly on the bill. These girls have recently completed a tour of the white circuits in the East. The musical star of the acts is "Wizard" Sullivan who appeared in the Royal with his telephone last week. The audience appears to play much better than he did last week, so we believe is due to the fact that he confines himself to the popular numbers.

Monroe, of Brunswick, Maryland, seems to have bad luck by achievement, instead of a good voice. Nevertheless, she isn't so unlucky after all, for she won the first prize of $2.50. This is what she wrote to the Out-O-Luck Editor this week: "I'm so unlucky that when I sing to my baby, it frightens her into a terrible squall." "I'm so unlucky that if Henry Ford were giving every Ford owner 50 shares of preferred stock, I'd own a Chevrolet," writes John Green, 954 Forrest street, city, and the second prize of $1.50 will be sent to him. The third prize of $1 goes down to Cambridge, Md., to James O. Land, 120 Pine street, who is some unlucky. He says: "I'm so unlucky that if I should slip and fall into a cellar and break my leg, I would be arrested for trespassing on private property." We want every reader of the AFRO to try this new and fascinating game, and only one profitable, too. Five dollars in about three minutes. That's the best paying job that one could have and it's pleasant work. You don't have to live in Baltimore or Maryland to enter this contest, you may live in Alaska or Florida, just write and tell us how unlucky you are and let us mail you a prize check. Here are some near prize winners who receive honorable mention: "I'm so unlucky that if I played a good piano solo, all the AFRO reporters would use my unlucky keyboard to play it."

Master艾里·Hill From A Woman's Viewpoint BY LILIAN LOTTIER Page Twelve "Yes, We Have No Leaders To-day" (With apologies to a popular song) I had planned something quite different this week for that long-suffering patron who reads these little articles of mine, but I can't help it. I simply must enthuse some of the coursework in leadership being given to the Community House. I found myself there again—this time to hear Mr. R. M. Beck, of the Central University Club Leader, and I thanked my lucky stars that I had missed as helpful, practical, and stimulating a talk as well as a lot of especially like about this series of lectures is that they are interesting and beneficial to any intelligent or learn-person. You don't have to be a "W" worker, a Sunday-School teacher, a club leader, or actively contact social organizations. All you need is a "mess" for any kind of information which better equips you for living and makes human relationship more un Nothing functions best that's one-sided. It isn't enough that leaders should know the qualifications of the ship and who are being told them also. AND THEY DEMAND THEM IN THEIR LEADERS. Just as long as the great mass of content to inlay indifference and inexcessible ignorance and accept incompetent, self-interested, misdirected leadership, just so long will we have such leaders. More often than not, you get what you DEMAND in this world, and the strength your demands, your knowledge of what you should know WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD LEADERSHIP DEMAND GOOD LEADERSHIP AND SOONER OR LESS WILL GET GOOD LEADERSHIP. Mr. Beck gave five qualifications for first-class leadership, PERSO so the list, and well it might for three is nothing more important. Apply this test to our leaders in all phases of life. Just note how much he must do on the pugnant right on down. Why, the stogian today is "the king of leadership," and leadership is often synonymous with license. It seems to mean increased and PROTECTED opportunities for growth. Well, the "blind lens" the blind, both of them "fill into the ditch." So you can judge just how much you do along moral lines. The second qualification was a SYMPATHETIC RELATIONSHIP to those who are not led. You do 50 fall, most emphatically. You take the average boy or girl, let him sit in college classrooms, and teach him for four years, and in nine cases out of ten, you have Dress Your Hair With MARIEAN GARDEN BOUQUET IN POMADE HIGHLY PERFORMED PARISIAN GARDEN BOUQUET HAIR POMADE FOR THE HAIR MINKY PERFORMED STRAIGHTENERS STUBBORN MAIR BALMORE BARBER STORE CO., 344 NORTH GAY ST.

For a good time, I could spend nothing lyn, N. LOTTIER the finest example of "superiority" and "exclusiveness" you may encounter in this connection I think of Klipping's "IF," the line which says: "And talk with kings, nor lose the common touch." That's a common touch. And no leader is a real leader without it. A leader must be ahead and keep up with the changes in business, but he must never be out of touch with them. It's a big thing, — this sympathetic business, and only big men can qualify. Not big in their own estimation, big in their own adapted importance, and only big men can qualify. Just SO IMPORTANT—but big in heart, big in understanding, their less fortunate brothers are big in an intensity of desire to help in any way possible. A knowledge of the needs of education, of educational processes, and a knowledge of one's program are other qualifications mentioned by Mr. Beck but we Instead, I want to touch upon one other point in the lección one as saying that "the period of greediness is the period of growth". When fruit is grown in the process of growth. When fruit is ripe, the next step is decay. This is a particularly significant reason why some leaders and companies outgrow their usefulness. They so soon know all there is to be known about their job. They "reuse", and decay rapidly sets in. That's another one of our courses that we do to know about everything so quickly. A few years of school and we are now finished learning how to do everything else so that other folks have just found out how little they know and begin learning how to keep in all the rest of their lives. — WE ARE THRU AND ARE READY TO TEACH EVERYONE ELSE FOREVER AND EVER Well, we are a young race and these are the faults of youth, so nobody we'll outgrow them some day. However, when we want an adult we should not be content to exhibit adolescent characteristics. It's time to "get a share on" and grow up. AND THE FIRST STEP IS TO DO SOME HOUSE-CLEANING IN HIGH PLACES. Rosie's Search One day Rosie left her good home, Just at the hour of four, of seven, Just at the hour of seven, When the angels took to heaven. She wandered through the village streets, Like the glowing sun, And did impulse along the way, From each and every one. Saying: "Tell me where is Heaven full of life? I want to go to that good place. For dad is there I am told. "They carried him off in a big hearse, Mother told me that they had Taken him home, to heaven.

The more sunlight little children can receive the better they will withstand colds, infections and contagious diseases. During the summer, many children are taken to the sensuous water, and they are easily given. On the beach, baths are easily given. On the beach, wearing a sleeveless, low neck bathing suit, or better still, a pair of bathing trunks, a little child can receive an ideal sun bath. After his body is once well tanged, he can be given a small number of water, or a small number of beach. In the country, however, for in the city, no one thinks of dressing a child in a bathing suit when he is playing in the fields or in the ack yard. A pair of bathing trunks will serve as well for a small bath. In the city, in the city, a big water bath at the sea, or a fresh water bath at the lake. Sun bathing is much more important than sea bathing or lake bathing, and has the great advantage of being everywhere accessible in summer. Sun-bathing suits should all be covered and skin as well as the whole, and the sun is the best of a thin short sleeveless low necked slip or romper or a simple set of sleeveless cotton underwear which will leave the arms and legs and neck on a bare, short-scale, the sun, the whole, the for children. Should be the fashion from May until October, and children should view with one another as to which one gets the best cost of tan. Doing one of these in the afternoon, or in the afternoon of the morning, urges us to have a excellent book on "sun-bathing" and "health" not to let fashion dominate our choice of children's clothes. Another New Year has begun. And we've an uphill battle to much superstition, And fill its place with real ambition. Let's stop crying, "Give us a chance!" But work and make wise advances, of every day. To try to keep hard times away. The whole world's plight, now needs a chance. Or we won't fall seema at close range, For profiters from year to year, Have wrecked the commerce far and near. Rise up crime, you can't prevent, As long as there is no discontent.

And they would know that W hope the Lord will surely send, More peace in every land and place. And better times to live. —Dokes, Bran, Va Do You Know? The Coldest Place in the U. S.?

Within Prison Walls BY AN INSIDER (Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) EDITOR'S NOTE—Written Prison Well, the installment of which was published in this issue, was written by a young man of good family and training who for obvious reasons is with-holding his real identity, and who due to his ability served (during a course of nearly ten years) in high positions (while an inmate) some of which have never been filled by any other inmate of any race. During this series he will remain on certain phases of prison life rarely disclosed to the public. A Romance Which Faded Hardly had I got started in business however before romance which had been denied to me for four years again sprang into my life. I was a girl without any thoughts of conquest in company with some other young business men I not a very charming girl who was very popular in my school. I did not even thinking that I could secure even a smile from such a fair creature, little was I to blame when I later learned that the girl had been denied her love and starving for the love of some feminine soul for four years who would have denied her? I did not. For a while things went along morphed and I had to hold this interesting girl became so arduous that business was sacrificed. Soon it became general knowledge that this girl was spending her time online and men and women in our association did not cease in our association did not cease. I became alarmed and talked the matter over with the warden who insisted some felony or was caught at some misdemeanor. I would not be returned to prison. With such insurance I would not be occasion men in company with an attorney tried to force the girl to sign a statement on which they could base a parole violation against. In the promise of the girl that she would see me no more she was released without making any statement. Of course, I was immediately arrested and so ingrusted that I immediately went Home Education TESTED IN A TEXAS NORTHER **(John Swayze Ward)** A savage middle Texas norther was distilling through the Spanish man, who lived in ten, fifteen, perhaps twenty-four (festivals from the spreading branches of the big live oaks that so resemble giant apple trees—green leaves and all, if that might be true). A rare snow had fallen, covering all small plants and bushes sufficiently to make them look like Eskimo snow igloos with green-clad plants in the back. The roadway was miserable, being a muddy river between banks of waving moss. In a carriage on this road were a mother, two boys and a driver. The roadway must reach the ten o'clock train for her northern home. The driver was her father in whose home she had enjoyed a two weeks happy holiday, ending in this necessary trip which should have been a One of the children, a boy of ten months, snuggled under the wraps in his mothers arms, peeping his hooded head out occasionally to fill eyes with what was inside and white. The other was a boy of four who wished to see and stood right up to do it, pulling the robes and wraps from brother, mother and grandfather. The fierce northern caught this boy in the middle of a back away. He soon began to cry and the tears were almost frozen on his cheeks. He pulled off his mittens and cap and dug his knuckles into his eyes. Soon his wet fingers were bitten by the cold, he used his voice in a languid blow. Young people, in these days, often look with disdain upon the manners and ideas of the older folks. so brand them with a serious dislike is sufficient reason for discarding it, and to have to follow an out-of-date custom is to them a cause for serious regret. Rarely is anyone justified in being disgusted by their dispositions may not be agreeable, and they may do unwise or unjust things, yet they are our parents, and we should honour and selfish hearts that have no toleration for the hobbies and pet ideals of others. So let us remember that some day we may be long enough, and very likely shall be found clinging to our habits of today quite stubbornly, and we shall be deeply hurt if sneers of frighten meet your remarks and movement there are some reason for the attitude of youth toward age. It may be that older persons hold too fondly to the long-age, especially to its future, and are to be held in suspense by the "way we used to do." Mary was a wise young girl who saw that soon she would be moving in a circle of acquaintance in which she would "back number", because of her antiquated fashion of dress. This girl did not scout at old styles, nor rulecule her mother's appearance, some of her mother's older, more loving mother, and besides she knew that would defeat her purpose. Her crusade to break down her mother's prejudice against "modern foolishness" felt a persuasive persuasion—such as mothers may well take to heart if they would hold the confidence of their children today. She presents her mother with a title presents of dutty neckwear, a stylish hand-bag, "nifty" toilet articles and so forth. She often remarked upon the modish appearance of her chums, who were uninous yet acted a gradual change in her mother's opinion. One day Mary found an old magazine with a story exactly suited to her situation and completed the revolution in her position regarding present-day methods. It was about a good and loving mother who had her daughter to her, having in a tragic loss of confidence. A year later, rummaging through a closet where there was some easel-standing dress she had once worn. She tried it on to see if she had grown stouter. It fastened easily and she shouted, "Why Mary?" she gasped, astonishment and dismay pictured on her face, "did I ever look like this?" "There are three kinds of salesmen: the one who does it, the one who wishes he had done it, and the one who promises to do it." *to the office of the parties with a view of securing vengeance but everything was smoothed over even that the warden had taken sick and was rushed to Mayo Brothers Hospital in Rochester, Minnesota. The parties were very prominent and that the warden was under their obligation, in fact his job was held subject to their good-will. He was but put in their hands and at their command he worked without even a semblance of an excuse, without even any opportunity to allow me to save any of my business effects. I had thousands of dollars invested in money and time. The warden did not return for several weeks and when he did there was nothing he could do to the Peter office at Lansing catch case. At this time a Parole and Pardon Commissioner had supplanted the old system of a Pardon Board appointed only at intervals of several months. With the encouragement received from the warring parties outside the state with a view of securing definite offers from reliable firms so that I could be reparoled outside the state when the Parole Commissioner ar- I successfully secured a splendid offer through Mr. Ira Lewis of the Pittsburgh Courier and a liberal contract, was drawn up that mothers have netted me several thousands a year as their special traveling representative. They had gotten in touch both with the Governor and the Iardon Commissioner and their consent seemed imminent. "Sit down, Ned, sit down," begged the mother, "the one are freezing yourself and Brother and Grandpa, too." Dear slave, she said nothing of herself. Continually she begged the mother, "I want to see the warmth and comfort of wipes, but he would not listen. "I want to see Ma, I want to see! Oh, oh, I am cold." These words and many like them beamed as he smiled down the wind. Every boy in discomfort because this boy had not been taught obedience. "You should be more firm," said Grandfather. "Firmness is kindness, teach the child obedience to laws of nature, that is safety and the only real liberty." "Nod, sit down," ordered the mother, herself almost in tears. "Ned, do please sit down. You are freezing us The helpless family drove on more miserable than the mules which had occasion (for discomfort). The grandfather patted him near hysteria. It seemed sad when all this misery could be ended by one firm move of his good left hand putting the foolish boy into the room and holding him singly up. But — It was only three miles to the station and the boy was permitted to wall it out to the complete distress of all and the spasm the most beautiful hour of the visit. This boy by no means ended in the pentiment. He became a good worker, graduated from the public school and went to college. He became imbued with the family spirit; the fine example of his mother told at hast. Yet there was a better, easier and way of obedience.

ADJUDED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-26 Saturday, February 5, 1925 YE YOUNGER FOLK When Mrs. Bumble Bee Put Mr. Bumble Bee Out Of The Hive Never had there been such a scandal in Wingland. Indeed it is the case that Mrs. Wasp told it and they were his cousins. The whole of Wingland at last had some friends. Mrs. Bumble Bee had driven Mr. Bumble Bee out of the hive. It is a long, long journey. Mrs. Bumble Bee had always held herself the queen of the hive, in fact every other bee in the colony. She had many workers. Every Winglet knew that the Carpenter Bee, the Digger Bee, and the Prepare Bee had prepare her hive. She was even too proud to keep her own home after it was built. She was always all the rules of the hive. They gathered the honey and made the bee-bread to feed the bees. The wax and built the comb. During this work, Mrs. Bumble Bee supervised doggedly about the nest all day. "You drone!" Mrs. Bumble Bee continually sang in his car. "One of these days I shall drive you out." Mrs. Bee was servant of whom Mrs. Bee was particularly fond. She had reason to be, for wasn't Busy the best worker of the hive? Mr. Bee licked her ear and often took her away from her work that they might fly together. It was a lovely May day and the flowers, gently swaying, in the breeze, were so inviting that even Mr. Bumble Bee bestirred himself. "Come on, Busy," he said to the Queen's best worker. "The queen won't mind at all. Tell her the flowers are just taken down with honey. She'll let Hail reluctantly Busy sought the queen and made his request, "please give me the reward, the gift, my dear, gather honey to your heart's content." Mr. Bumble Bee and Miss Busy flew, but as usual he forgot about the honey he was to take home. Busy, however, carefully gathered the pollen from the honey and it with one lind leg into the basket of the other. Busy never gave gone all right had Mr. Bumble Bee not heard some hurge creature in man's kingdom hustling singing: "A bee in May Is worth a load of hay; A swarm of bees in June Is worth a moon But a swarm in July Is not worth a fly." That song started the trouble. It appeared that the queen, usual, he called to his companion, "Busy," he said, "sing that horrid man." Busy, forgetting the penalty, obeyed her master and slew straight at the offending singer, singing him well. Immediately after the act she came to a victim, for now having stung someone she herself must die. Hastily she returned to the hive and sadly sobed out "O dear Busy," said the queen, "I don't know how I shall get along without you. If only Bumble had stayed home, this might not have happened. If he had been working he would not have heard the man's song. I shall certainly punish him." Even while the queen was speaking poor Busy turned over on her back and died. The queen wept tears of honey but they could not revive poor Busy. The other workers swarmed round and round, adding their tears, but poor Busy could not hear them. In the midst of this confusion Mr. Bumble Bee returned. "O! you wicked one," cried his wife as he entered, "your selfishness is unbearable. I have stood enough of your thoughtlessness already and now you have killed Busy." So there's the story just as Benny Wasp told it and if it is not true, qurelure with him and let him give you a stinging answer.

Lest you forget who they are, let me remind you: Xaveria Gordon, Martha Harmon, Martha Jones, Maja Matthews, Lois Macbeth, Beth Saunders, Dessandra Thomas, Elmira Tibbs, Gertrude Wallace, Alphna Williams, Iradelle Williams, and, of course, Ivy. In addition to these, there were also Audrey Berry, Katherine Conner, Helena Conner, Clothilde Dent, Florence Gloster, Muriel Grooms, Viola Matthews, Mildred McMechen, Blanche McAe, Anita Thomas and Ethel Waters.

H. WEIS & SON Established 1859 801-3-5 Penna. Ave. PHONE VERNON 3956 Out of the High Rent District Open Late Saturday Night Of course the exotic atmosphere of the club makes it impossible for any group to follow a strictly conventional program of entertainment there; so that while cards were the feature of the afternoon, the club's musicians had a means of diversion. An hour or so before an revours were said, Ethel Waters sat down at the piano and broke the ice, and Milford Waters played with a little skit. Let me tell you too—there was a clever little dansseuse lost to the world when Milford went in for pedagogy. Among the artists of the Arabia orchestra furnished music during the afternoon. The local Hampton Alumni celebrated Founders' Day at the house of the Levi Moores Sunday evening, Augustus Holsey sang one of the spirituals as the opening number of the program. And, by the way, I didn't know that you could? The same Holsey, like Washington and Moton, seems no matterly connected with Trusgee that I simply couldn't disassociate the two. But getting back to the topic; there followed a biographical sketch of the life of General Armstrongs, Mrs. Fernandes, I believe gave this. Mr. Francis Wood showed how strongly General Armstrongs' influence is felt in the present development of the Negro. There were other unusual numbers—Mr. Holsey sang again and Mrs. Hermond White gave a piano solo. The occasion was emphasized when the formal program was ended; and this is as it should be, because there is no way in which the memory of any personality or the influence of any institution can be perpetuated except by establishing a close personal relationship of that personality or of the institution—as the case might be. The stock continues busy. I should have told you last week that the Charles Shilbers were on his hammock and not since they have one, I think it quite fortunate that a girl has come into the family. If she inherits anything in the way of appearances from her mother she is certainly destined to be more than an easy on clothes that Ruth and Charles will give her, will make this world soft for her to sit on. A letter from Washington bears the good news that the Bill Howardsoo, too, have a young daughter: That's a surprise for you I know. Quite a little water has gone under the bridge since that New Year's Day when Bill and the former Dorothy Howard had to meet each other at the alley; and this is their first child. The rest of my news is not so fortunate Ralph Reckling's older brother died at Newport during the week; and as if that were not enough, his selfless effort to his physician would not allow him to make any attempt: o go the funeral. The other unfortunate happening is that Addie Young's father — Addie is known socially as Mrs. Ralph Young. — is in Washington because her father last week. He was knocked down by an automobile and suffered a fracture of the skull. Langston Hughes is publishing a new book of poems, "Fine Clothes To The Jew," he calls it he've never felt before he have fallen into my hands and I spent last night reading it. The book gets its name from one of his collection of "Blues"—"Hard Luck," its title it is one of those which he read to me this time last year when he came through Baltimore on his way to Lincoln. The first garza goes: "When hard luck overtakes you Nothin' for you to do. When hard luck overtakes you Nothin' for you to rest. Gather up your fine clothes An' sell 'em to de Jow." The first eight and the last nine poems in the book are "Blues," and the preface contains the same excerpts as the rest of the poem—that the "Blues" have a strict poetic pattern; one long line repeated and a third line to rhyme with the other two. As a group I like these better than any others in the book, although, no one of them is as good as the poems come up to his "The Weary Blues." Some of the poems, as poems, are around over my head.

Indianapolis Absent Warner Sowell, who held the Indianapolis franchise last season, was not present, his interest being taken care of by Bingo DeMoss, his manager. It became evident early in the proceedings, that Mr. Sowell would have been unanimous for the coming season, so it was agreed to the plans of the Cleveland group, presented by Mr. Brady, he heard. Southern League Association Bert Roldy, president of the Southern League, was in attendance to help formulate some working agreement between his organization and the Negro National League, whereby the Southern League team could become associate members of the Negro National League. He was also presenting the application of Birmingham for re-entry into the present organization. A plan adopted under which the Southern League will be accepted as associate members of the Negro National League.

This agreement was accepted and signed by Mr. Roddy for the Southern League and Dr. Key for the Negro National Dr. Key thereby making Memorial and Birmingham members of the Negro National League for the season of At the opening of the session Friday, the matter of Indianapolis was taken up.

Hneston: Elected President Election of officers was next in order and several man's were offered for consideration. It was finally moved by Mr. Kent, and secondly by Mr. Hueston, William C. Hueston, of Gary, Indiana, be tendered the office. This met, with the uninimous ap- proach of the man, is a kind of murder (and national) known kurt- gerly. Call Vernon 6016 list was elected to the position. R. S. Lewis, of Memphis was chosen vice-president; G. J. Glimor, of Kansas City, secretary-treasurer and Dr. G. B. Lewis, chairman of the Board of Directors, which is composed of all team owners. Mr. Glimor, as treasurer, was required to post a $10,000 bond. Judge No Team Owner The election of Judge Hueston to the presidency was the culmination of the idea advanced early in the series. Upon writing outings that a outside the circle of team owners be chosen for the League leadership. It was strengthened when the Eastern League, just before the joint session held earlier in the month, chose Attorney Isaac Nuttson, no No League connections, as its head. It has been contended that a league president, who was also owner of a club in the league, could not give the impartial consideration to grievances that should be given, especially if his club happened to be one of the parties involved. Again in his job a president was more than likely to be secondary to his interest in his team, especially if that team was high in the pennant race, with a change to win. Municipal Judge Municipal Judge Therefore it was agreed that it would be best to consider out of touch men whose knowledge of baseball need not be so great as their good judgment and their ability to see both sides of a question. These qualities, together with a reputation for fairness, the new incumbent possesses. He is at present a municipal judge with criminal jurisdiction. He is head of the new Educational Committee formed by the Elks and stands high in A. M. E. Church circles. DEHART HUBBARD STARS BUT HIS TEAM LOSES Hubbard's Brother. "Bf. Member Of Tea. COLUMBUS, OHIO — Dehart Hubbard led .. brilliant court aggregation in its first invasion of this city tonight, but his game was down to stunning defeat at the hands of the Columbus Lucien Club, 55 to 33, in one of the most consistently sensational games of the season. Well drilled, strong defensively, and uncanny, the teammates took a commanding lead early in the game and held it until the third quarter, but from that point one of two things is said to have happened. First, the defense of the famousruck ball into it, with the fiery attack of the Luciens, of second, the local combination carved a groove in the Aquinas Gymnasium atmosphere and just dropped the ball into it, with the result of a rout. And both of those possibilities mean only that when the dazzling work of Scott, the Whittaker brothers, Butler, Dolby and their supporters reached its goal there was nothing left by defeat. A description of the game would read like the account of a miracle. Cincinnati pierced the locals' offense regularly in the first half, half of the first quarter, and end of the first quarter, the fine work of Dehart Hubbard and his brother, "Bo" Hubbard, Johnson, Redden. old Wil伯力force star, and Rodgers forced Lucien Fosse. At the 1-6 count, it was closer at the half, time 23 to 20. NUTTER CALLS FIRST PARLEY PHILADELPHIA—The Commissioners of the Eastern Colored League will meet at Atlantic City, Friday, Feb. 4th. Isaac H. Nutter, the new president will be installed to office and the first steps of drafting a schedule for 1927 season will be taken. ____0____ Says Entire Team Should Be Out in Uniform To the Editor: There is beginning to become a question among the Athenians considered the favorites of the fans of Basketball and after seeing the game Friday Nite, I am convinced the rumor that have reached me are true. The team lacks fighting spirit. The first half of the game was the best playing hard to win. They were: "Scrapy" Brown, "Google's" Poles, Joe Jackson, who deserve credit for what playing was done. In my estimation manager Wright should be in uniform whether they play or not. There was "Chippy" Taylor who took the responsibility to watch his team lose before he would get in uniform.

A fair and orderly crowd were on hand to witness the series of three games in choir as Douglass talked up 454 in the opening with "Poly" 4 pins behind. Sewell Stars Sewell of Douglass High was the star of the day, making 315 points, the highest individual score in the Koehler of Polytechnic, scored 300. Zius bays by 365 and Marcelli by 344.

In the final game the "Ducks" scored 525 while the "Ducks" chalked up 485. Spare a score freely made by the opposing team was a noticeable scarcity of strikes. This was especially noticeable in the bowling of "Fee Wee" Marcell, one of the most juvenile stars at the olympics. To Meet City College The Douglas lads, who hold the silver cup won in the Lord Baltimore League, are planning a return match with Polytechnic as soon as the College flies at the City College Five. Manager Shapiro of the Bowling Center says, "I am proud of the showing and orderly manners which the team has produced ourselves and know that the Tolly lads will sanction a return meet.

Now comes another of those half line things out in the golden West. Once more Flowers is holding a blinding "Flowers Clean" Here we have one of the cleanest of all athletes in the ring or in any other sport.

Los Angeles New Decision To Los Angeles Newspapers Gave Decision To Tiger Flowers --- LOS ANGELES, CAL, JAN. (PCNB.) A repetition of the Flowers-Walker boxing robbery, was enacted at the Wrigley Baseball Park, Saturday, January 27, when the Los Angeles Lakers took on Los Angeles over Tiger Flowers, after the "Deacon" had won cight of ten rounds. Harry Grayson, white, sport editor of the Los Angeles Record, had the following to say, "The decision to Lee Lomski over Tiger Flowers at Wrigley was the Three-Fingered Jack stuck up his last stage during the winter of '87. Those who accept a referee's decision as being final and were not among the 10,000 persons present, will never know how the fight came out from that dear, old Atlanta, and back again." "How'd the crowd take it? How does a guy act when belabored over the head with a blackjack? The majority were stunned... speechless."

He was with that club for seventeen years, until it was moved to Can Francisco, sold to a new owner and renamed the Missions. One of the conditions of the sale the price of which was $250,000, was that "Shine" should be turned over with Always a confident of Vernon team managers and players, because of his excellent judgment of men and baseball and basketball, he is "Uncle Tom" in him. His philosophy is rare and original and it is because of his ability to keep up the morale of a player or team in baseball and tennis in baseball, black or white. He could at any time go to the major leagues, to which he has sent many players but as he is nearing the sunset of life he is wearing a jacket and an shirt.

There are those who will say that Lomski was given quite a boost over the waves of reference Harry Lee. They are right. It was pretty hard to see how big Harry Lee was, but he shoved his mind on points alike. He is little doubt that the victor was the superior puncher and did more damage when damage was done. But as for rounds, Flowers won five, Lomski four and one was even. In those rallies Flowers won he outshut his rival almost three to one.

With the exception of Coach Graves' Wilberforce University Tossers, and the Cleveland Cyclones, the other teams were met on an equal footing. The Cleveland were the best combination in the country," says Bill Harris, business manager of the Greeks. The Wilberforce crews laughed at the locals, who wrestled a 51 to 25 defeat, then came the Elks with a 48-38 setback.

The locals entered the game heavy favorites with the hundreds of fans who crowded the bleachers and sidelines and confidence grew as Long Herb Keller tossed the ball to the whistle, followed in close order by Brown and before the visitors could open their eyes Keller clicked again. But their adherents could not see the fagged-out look and the strain on their features that they had their dash to prove that they had their same dash and speed. But it wasn't there. Whitted, by some oversight on the part of the啄, did not start the game for the Alcos and Pope was in the pivot position. This mistake had been made that young gentleman was sent in and accounted 8 points in the first six minutes. Not satisfied, he run his total up to 14 before he was finally ousted for committing four personal fouls. Saiter and Kennard chalked up three baskets each. The latter, besides being an exceptional guard, had an uncanny way of making his shots find the basket. **Soup Turner** "Soup" Turner, the fussy little forward, paid more attention to his business of tossing the basket. He did he on his last visit to these parts, but "Fats" Veney, the Athenian Guard, interfered a great deal with his business and the youth with the appetizing nick-name, was contented with two goals from good however. Keller got his only two shots in the first few minutes of play and except for a nose dive into the laps of the female spectators on the sidelines, he contributed little to the evening's excitement. Brown, as usual, proved himself a point scorer in spite of conditions, and four field goals and three soul goals were charged up to him. Jackson took the lead to the third hole. Poles, Lewis, Butler and Taylor accounted for one each. The first half ended with the Athenians trailing a 20-15 score. The first portion of the second half saw the Alcos with renewed confidence piling them up higher and higher. The turning point came with the Alcos in the lead, 33-19, and Whitted was put out on fouls. Then with slow but sure precision the Athenians began to score. The teams contended to play, they were still lacking 6 points. When the whistle blew, they—— Well, the game ended 36-30. Basketball Results Alcoes, 36; Athenians, 30. Flying Aces, 17; Peerless, 16.

J.—The Carlisle Club of Washington went down to defeat, 20-22, before the Buckcancers at Waltz Dream, Friday night. Even in defeat they won the acclaim of the most rabid throng that ever attended a game here. Their fighting spirit, coupled with managerial strategy and the ever improving, elongated Henderson at center nearly gained them the verdict, and they are now numbered among the visiting quintets. The Bues joe, Queen and Pondleton, strangers to the visiting players, scored damaging goals. Queen was at forward instead of Howard and Wayman started at guard. Henderson's damaging shooting and floor work forced Stanfield out. Queen went to center and Pondleton forward. The visiting center had a duet of scores from the field and a trio from the foul mark. Braddick scored a long one. Brooks, Queen and Wayman kept the Bues in the running, the half ending, 9-8. Carlisle. The second half saw the crowns on its toes. Pendleton was at guard for Wayman Ev. Dav. Evs was at forward for Hill and Simmons replace Braddick. The crowd cheered.

Davs and Hawkins scored, but he broke loose as the crowds raved to give the Bucs a 20-17 lead Braddick scored from the foul mark, and with 30 seconds to go Evs Davs tied it up with a desperate shot from the tying end. It was 20 all at the end of regulation play. Extra Period Henderson was first to score in the extra period, but pandemonium broke as Queen scored from past center and the root trembled with pain. She then put the game on ice with another from under the basket. RINKY DINKS SPLIT EVEN ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.—The Rinky Dinks split even in a two-game series last week.

L. A. A. officials. They are published in the interest of Athletic peace. If there is not enough good will and wise statesmanship in our colleges to arbitrate athletic differences WHICH INVOKE NO GREAT PRINCIPLE, who shall learn to find these human qualities? If great principles were involved wed urge both sides to fight to the last ditch. The differences between these two groups are neither deen nor fundamental. Both men need not organize the fact that the parties not involved. The one not heretofore taken into account is the public which foots the bills. Nobody can "bil hat" the public Nobody can "hi hat" the public for long and get away with it. Let's get together. HOWARD PRESIDENT IN ACCORD WITH DESIRE TO BRING ABOUT ATHLETIC PEACE To the AFRO-AMERICAN: I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter enclosing copy of your complaint with the H. W. Hammons Athletic Director of Hampton Institute. Your letter to Mr. Williams is a fine expression. I am in heart accord with your desire to affect reconciliation the case and am taking up the matter at once with our Board of Athletic Control. MORDECAI W. J. HONSON, President, Howard University. DR. DAVIS SAYS ALL COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO PLAY ON COLLEGE TROLLS. I CALL ON THE WHEE PREP DAYS WERE SPENT To The AFRO-AMERICAN, Upon withdrawing from the C. I. A. A., Howard expressed a hope that friendly relations with the organization might continue. This has remained our position to the pres- It is the C. I. A. A. that refused to play Howard, not Howard the C. I. A. A. Therefore, the request for Howard was made by the association. When this request comes from any C. I. A. A. institutions, Howard will endeavor to place them on her schedule as far as loyalty to her friends and the Howard faculty imposes the highest academic standards upon all students with no exception at all in athletics. The Howard Board of Athletics, in compliance with rules of athletic eligibility the best ethical standards. We believe that no institution among those that normally play us can excel, if possession can equal us in either respect. It is therefore mere nonsense for any school to complain of our rules. As you have pointed out with such success, Howard is the athletic right of a student just graduated from high school to en- ALPHA PHI A'S MEET OMEGAS IN TOURNEY NEW YORK, JAN. 21—Alpha and Omega will clash on Easter Monday for the inter-fraternity basketball championship of New York City. They were survivors in this city's first inter-fraternity tournament in joins with Kappa Alpha Isi and Phi Beta Sigma respectively, at the Remissance Casino here this afternoon, a crowd of cheering eager fans. The first game was neck and neck unto the end when Kappa Alpha was trailing close healed Alpha Phi Alpha, the final score, Alpha 26; Kappa Lawton, of Alpha, was easily the man whose work in the shooting zone brought best results. He made five goals from the floor and three from the foul line. His team mate, Pollard, sank two double shots while Quentin Han accounted for one of each. Dick Harvey for two free throws and Sykes, the former Morehouse star, one. Work, in center for the losing five, did most of the work, shooting two floor goals and five fouls. Sims, although at times clined to him, played boy好 tough, was a stellar defense and also registered a basket and four fouls. Omega Takes Easy Victory The other number on the program came in the form of an anticlimax. While Sigma made a bid at the beginning to tumble the dope bottle obtaining a 3-1 lead on foul shots, there was nothing that could stop Omega once the team got working, Captain "Stretch" the "Bob" Payne, McCoy and the rest could not be halted. "Stretch" the rest could five door goals and four fouls for a total of fourteen points, beating by one point the mark set by Lawton in the previous game. The final score was, Omega, 36; Sigma, 16. There seemed to be something uncanny about the shooting of Grant, the Omega leader, that made him ever a dangerous man. Payne, entering four field goals and a foul shot into the books, besides thrilling with his usual tenacious game, was one of the bright lights. McNichols in a comeback drowned two baskets. McCoy, Howard big gun of the pleasant surprise of the day. He accounted a field goal and a couple of single counters besides playing a very flashy game. Daniels got away with one field basket while Day reported one of each kind. New York Y.M.C.A. Downs Brooklyn NEW YORK—While the Y. M. D. cagers of the West 135th Street Y. M. C.

AELIGIBILITY RULE, SAYS ASSOCIATION IS STILL WILLIING TO DISCUSS ENTIRE ASSOCIATION Editor, The AFRO-AMERICAN: I have your letter of January 22, 2014, requesting to continue the agitation, but that in the interest of athletic development of our youth, you are trying to bring about an adjustment. The member of A. A. I, be pleased of competing with all the institutions in this section. I realize that the student bodies of both institutions (Howard and Hampton) as well as the athletic teams are much by these institutions not competing-The C. I. A. A. has made, it seems to me, the honest endeavor to meet Howard in conference on several occasions—this Howard has refused The members of the C. I. A. feel that under the present educational standards in the various states, we have four year eligibility rule is fair to all concerned. It may interest you to know that most interest you in our Association are composed of college men. Hampton alone has 400 college students. This rule is not aimed at Howard, but it operates in the same way. It is a well known fact that before Hampton had any college students at all, the Hampton team played in the state championship. Their share of games. I do not tell that anyone could say that such players as Gayle, Dabney, Scott, and a host of others I could mention, could be classed as college players. The Association feels that when players with athletic prowess can play on various teams which compete against each other, and Lincoln, such years of competition should count whatever department academically they are in in institutions which they represent. The Association to be absolutely fair. As far as our group of schools is concerned, it has prevented prolegeling, and has made for fine competition and achievement. The demands desired by Howard will in the natural development of our institutions be realized in the future. But until that happens the Association feel that the present regulations serve to the best interest of sport in our institutions. However, the Association as stated here, has always been and is now willing to meet and discuss the entire question. CHARLES H.

The locals got away to an early lead and throught the first quarter played as though it was going to be their day, but the visitors got themselves together and almost evened the count when the half game. It Looked Like Stage Fright Graham Tech center registered the first goal 7 the game and the locals were off on their mighty stride. Wiggins cluded the Douglass dribbles down the court and shot for two more points. The way the locals were guarding it appeared that the visitors were going to trial for a good while. Coach Gibson sent Hackett in to replace Callaway and the oligom- gated forward did what he did, does, get the goal and a goal before he was in play three minutes and the count then stood 4 to 3 in the locals favor. The half ended with Tech leading 7 to Second Half Not all teams that trail during the end of the first half lose the game and so it was with the Douglas Ducks. The boys came back in that second half and simply missed the ball. They not only out passed them but they out shot them and out generalised them. Callaway went back at forward and with Hackett started a march that netted a field goal at 11 minutes, followed by taking minutes followed by the count 7 all, followed by a foul goal by Hackett. On a pretty pass down the court from Hackett to Callaway the latter made another field goal as he passed in under the basket. Then the Tech boys battled themselves to within three points of the visitors when the third quarter ended. During the final session the locals did not register a single point while the Dotzels had 6 and won the game 13-13. For Douglass Jones, Calloway, Hackett and Brown were outstanding while Graham, Wiggins and Christian played well for the locals.

It is always bemoaning the trials and hardships and frequently says, "We are never going to get anywhere." Banks fail. We lose a little money and at once we explain its going to set us back twenty years. When as a matter of fact if we were not so pessimistic, would not set us back twenty days. Or the other hand optimism sees a long way ahead. Optimism sees the view from the mountain top above the clouds and rejoices at what it has seen when it gets below. Aiken, S. C. Alken County grand jury for the second time last week declined to indict members of a mob which engaged in a triple lynching there three months ago. The third effort of the state and the county to bring the lynchers to justice. First, the coroner's jury reported that the mob consisted of persons unknown and then the October 14 jury announced that had been unable to evidence sufficient to warrant indictment. The grand jury was in session three days. It called nine witnesses, among them seven inmates of the Alken fall on June 10, October 5th when the three prisoners were taken out to their slaughter. The grand jury had before them affidavits of a number of persons including the prisoners who testified and gave the names of certain Despite this fact the grand jury filed back into the county court room after a long deliberation, and in their first report to the court discussed some minor things as repairing the sinks in the court house to keep it open. It offered its final presentation on the lynching case stating in part, that, "we realize the publicity that has been given this crime and hope the same publicity be given the fact that, in heavily condemned mob violence or an attack that will bring reproach to the peace and dignity of our state." The action of the grand jury was no surprise to many newspapers of the state who correctly predicted the outcome of the grand jury investigation. Moreover, members of the mob conducted by Mr. Walter White who conducted the investigation for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are quoted in South Carolina parish boostering the would never be in injustice. Governor John G. Richard, however, is still hopeful. He termed the failure of the grand jury to return indictment in the Lowman lynching case "miserable miserable" of justice." He told the press, the governor said. "I promised in my inaugural address that I would stand for the majesty of the law. I meant what I said. I promised the people of South Carolina that if it lies within my jurisdiction lynchers shall be brought to justice." This is a fine statement by Governor Richard. We have had similar fine statements by upstanding men in South Carolina who have been quoted profusely. In the New Carolina press and also in the New York press for more than a week conducted a nation-wide campaign urging the punishment of the Alken lynchers. But the truth of the matter is that so long as a grand jury in Alken County refuses to indict, the lynchers cannot be brought to pun South Carolina has had every opportunity to punish these lynchers. The fight to expose the members of the mob and to indict them is only by the best thinking white people of the state, but also by the best thinking white people of the surrounding states. All of this has failed, and its failure has ever had for the passage of a federal and lynching bill. Bluff And Sham By a vote of nine to three the judicial committee of the Senate voted last week not to Inquire into the distranchissement of colored voters in the south. The committee was urged upon the Norris Resolution for an unlimited Inquiry into charges that political offices were sold by party organizations in the south. While this committee was in犹豫, these were current reports on the cloak room of the senate that the governor of Illinois would appoint Edward H. Wright, Illinois Commerce Commissioner to the senate. Frank S. Smith, white, the governor's former appointee. The resolution calling for an investigation of distranchissement was introduced by Senator Erast, of Kentucky, not because he is interested in the south, but in order to back at the Ditch senators who were Page Sixteen Call Vernon 6016 Welfare and the Square Deal Afro-American Building, 628 N.

It was also a bluff intended to affect certain southern congressmen who insisted upon investigating the exorbitant campaign expenditures of Smith, of Illinois, and Vare, of Pennsylvania. We talked about the governor of Illinois named Mr. Wright to the Senate in Smith's place is also a bluff and threat, a declaration to the south. "If you don't accept Smith, we will send you a colored senator." Naturally, colored people are grateful to their white friends in congress and to their staffs who are taking their interest and behav, but it's time our friends ceased using us as a threat and a bugaboo. If they want to appoint us to political office, we want the appointment made on its merits. If they want to investigate disfranchisement in the south, let this be done for its own sake and not for the purpose of bluffing and frightening the south. We are sick and tired of being the scape goat of the republicans in congress and out of congress. It's time we recognize the fact that the congressmen who make these suggestions, whatever their protestations to the contrary, are not our sincere friends. Infant Mortality Out of every 1,000 colored babies born alive, in Leavenworth, Kansas, 615 die before they reach one year of age. In Montclair, N. J., out of every 1,500 colored babies born, only 19 die before they reach their first birthday. There is a big difference between 19 and 615. Leavenworth leads the country according to figures just issued by the Department of Commerce at Washington in high infant mortality. The department lists include all figures in the birth registration area of more 10,000 population having other not less than 10 per cent or 10,000 colored population. While the Kansas town has the highest rate of infant mortality, Montclair, N. J., has the lowest. The figures show that Leavenworth is in a class by itself having nearly three times the infant mortality rate of any other city in the country. Paducah, Ky., the second city loses 229 colored babies during the first year. In the same way Montchair, N. J., is in a class by itself. Its infant mortality of 19 per 1,000 is far lower than that of Burray, N. J., which has an infant mortality of 39 per 1,000. The record of certain other selective cities is as follows: Deaths of Infants Under One Year of Age in Newark, N. J. Number White Collar White births Lakeview, N. J.

J. 1 31 18.9 100.0 Back of this high infant mortality are at least four causes; first, poor wages; second, ignorance of motherhood and prenatal care; third, illegitimate children; fourth, inadequate education in the south concerning mid-wives. Fight to raise economic and moral standards is a slow process. Generations rather than years are required. Our state governments and our women's organizations however, can women proper information on prenatal care. These organizations can also urge state legislature to license and regulate mid-wives as strictly as nurses and physicians are now regulated. Scanning the infant mortality statistics, it is one of the disagreeable things which we cannot get rid of merely by disregarding. Lynch Law (The New York World) The Grand Jur. of Alken County, S. C., reports that it finds the evidence submitted concerning the lynch-law murder last October of Calvin M. Alken, Alken Law, Negroes, insufficient to warrant indictments. The prepraters are well known in the community. The finding of the Alken Grand Jury simply upgrades lynch law in defense of the known facts. Gov. Richards is fortunate alive to the smirch upon the honor of the State left by the Alken County mob. The lynch law is a civilization of lynch law. I care not what the offense." The lyncher "strikes at the very foundation of our civilization. Gov. Richards is Alken, County's -shame- has attention of the whole country.

JONES Dr. Pazavia O'Connell, just back from conducting a series of religious meetings, has taken the role of American Saturday Club, that he met young people there who told him frankly that they did not believe what he was saying. That is extremely shocking to men like Dr. O'Connell, but to the man in the streets, it is every day expression. Youth is shying away. When you delve deeply into the attitude of youth, their growing disregard for religious dogma and belief, holden to the realization that it is not wicked abandon, but conscientious and deliberate taking stock of Christian belief and women with strength of character are the most outspoken. A young man told this writer a young man told more he studied the life of Christ, the more certain he was that neither HE, NOR THESE WHO MAKE UP THE WORLD, OR THESE WHO WERE FOLLOWING HIM. "When preachers tell us about a Christ," said this young man, "who came to this world, was born in a church, and promulgated the doctrines of a communist, told the rich man to sell all he had and give it to the poor, who with Heaven, kings and gold did not have a place to buy his property and did not have a place to lay His head that He might exemplify the spirit of unacclimatisation. AND SEE HIS ELECT FOLLOWERS AND PREACHERS. THEMSELVES, HITTING LIFE IN HIGH POWERED AUTOMOBILES, SHOPPED BY THE GREED AND AVAICE OF ORDINARY MORTALS, BUILDING UP TREASURES HERE ON EARTH, CAN YOU BLAKE US FOR THEM OR ON TWO IN OUR OWN WAY?" Most young people figure that if Christ did not mean the solemn injunction He gave to all the world and preach my gospel-taking neither script nor purse." He did not mean any other part of the Bible. When youth passes the "make-believe" age they have a deep seated aversion to hypocrisy and they preach about with the Christ they live. For modern youth it would be better for far to have a Christ who lived in marble halls, had strings of servants, taxed working men, his spleener and comfort, wore silk jupanes and kept a fleet of automobiles. OF CHRIST HE WOULD HAVE TO BE IF HE CAME TO THE WORLD IN THIS AGE AND LIVED IN FORMER MINISTERS WHO PREACH HIS WORD. South Carolina, where the pendulum of racial relations has swung in history to wider extremes than ever, not only disregards itself but accepts that disregards with complicity. You study that state you want to study, and the deep scathed foundations of racial hatred. Pious Yankee financiers of the North who clip cotton and their labor system have their labor system which has retarded even white education and made much of the colored education. The Allen horror. Intelligence, backed up by opportunities for material prosperity is the more gross ignorance, not of colored men and women but of whites, and blood sucking economic contempt in which lynchings grow. Poor whites have not yet stop building their spleen on colored men in memory of Reconstruction days. The prosperous white man is not oblivious; for where in this country would you find men more outspoken against mob law than the editors of the Columbia daily paper. Some twenty years ago a Governor of South Carolina stood on a rail fence platform and sat at the law his course in the case of a colored man they had captured to lynch. They listened uninterrupted and then immediately proceeded to do the poor wretch to death. That a grand jury would even consider jury verdicts white or mob murder represents some gain in South Carolina. NO WHITE MAN THERE HAS EVER BEEN BROKEN YET FOR VIOLENCE. Immediately following the fiasco of the Alken County Grand Jury, the Columbia County appropriated $25,000 to be used by Governor Richards to vindicate the honor of the State. He followed a statement by the Governor who said: "I promised in my inaugural address that I would stand and stand until I said I promised the people of South Carolina that if it lies within my power the Alken lynchers shall be brought to "I am familiar with the evidence gathered by Governor McLough and his staff, and that that makes myself, and I that convinced in my own mind that it makes out a prime facie case. The failure of the grand jury to present those cases before the squarely on shoulders." No, Mr. Governor, the failure rests on you and every citizen in these United States from President Coolidge down. Nigerian Natives The Oxford University Press, London, announces a new book, "The Natives of South Africa," by P. Amery Talbot, which deals historically and otherwise with the Southern provinces of Nigeria in Western Africa. In a detailed and able review of the volume, J. Herskovits says: "The information Mr. Talbot has gathered regarding the forms and functions of the secret societies of the Nigerian tribes is of importance, and his table covering their various aspects will be of great importance to students. The amount of data about the religious practices of these people is tremendous—practically one whole large volume is given to that aspect of their lives, which obviously fascinates Mr. Talbot. "Although he figures for us numerous fetishes and masks, this is incidental, and it is unfortunate. For this is the heart of the religion from which the marvelous pieces of African bronze, and wood-carving come, and we sadly lack data covering this artistic material, the ways in which the pieces we admire so highly are utilized or information on the technique by which they are produced."

When our people call themselves COLORED, they are exercising a legal right guaranteed to us by a law that Negro leaders, with the aid of our white enemies, are trying to fasten upon us the name of Negroes. By the laws of Louisiana are usurping the functions of the State Supreme Court, and are attempting to frighten us from the courts, which has been the force of our legal rights for over a hundred years. At least place. Negroes have no right to be born in New Orleans. When a child is born of colored parents in our city, he is always classed with the records of the City Board of Health. Negroes have no right to free public education in New Orleans, and to free public education of our children are COLORED public schools. In fact, the Constitution of Louisiana makes it mandatory for public school students to maintain free public schools for COLORED children. Negroes have no right to ride on a bus to a partition with a sign on that partition is found on all street cars, stating that the year portion of the car has "For COLORED Patients Only." Negroes have no right to marry in New Orleans. Both the groom and the bride must in order to procure a license with an authorization for a legal contract between two perks of our race. Negroes must in order to procure a license in New Orleans. When Will Jones so-called Negro member of a so-called Negro improvement association, Negroes must in order to aspirations: are uncoercionally cut short By the Official Police Records, where uncoercionally found with a full description of the complaint made against him. Negroes cannot vote in New Orleans. A voter must register before he can exercise the right of franchise and only COLORED people are permitted to register in New Orleans. Negroes cannot even die in New Orleans. When the City Board of Health makes a record of the final death of a Negro leader, it is recorded in most appropriate language that a COLORED man has departed from our midst.sequently, when such newspapers as the Times-Picayune and the Louisiana Weekly, the State Department of Education and other people call us Negroes, regardless of race, court, or location. Court has, on more than one occasion, decided that COLORED and not Negro is the proper legal nomenclature of the non-white population, that they are dragging us down to a level even below the dog, for even the worthless dog has the inenable right to die known as a dog within the limits of the City of New John F.

This Writer Takes Some Dirty Digs At The Would Be Young Sports Of Today. To the Editor: The young sports of today really don't know what its all about, and they dress up without a dime in their pockets. They will buy a five-cent cigar and keep it in their mouth and never touch it. They don't know what its all about. If they go to a baseball game, or football game, they will either try to rush by the crowd or find a friend who wants to go to the show, they either have some important engagement or they don't feel well. To satisfy herself she'll go away and if she turns around the final finds him and asks him way him sitting up in the gallery. After the show is over, he will try to make his get-away but he finally finds him and asks him way him. Well, dear! My engagement was broken or I felt better and not having any place to go, I called you up, and not there, I de- sired to be in the show. To make himself good he will promise to take her to a dance the next day, dresses with her and other girls and then sneaking around the corner and buys a cold drink. He will do anything, and he was too cheap to offer her. The next day he will tell you about all the money he spends on her, and cost him fifty cents because he had a pass. This is a small sketch of his life. James Mitchell, Long Branch, N. Y.

And fast as the kings of the Orient and fast as the angels of grace So the musical leaders of Bowtie to the art of Hayes. What Harriet Beecher had woven in Evans's voice, pleasing so fair—in the same way as Uncle Tom's fervent pray—in the seems anew resounding Awakening sympathy— Famous are the wives of the Master; they will be "the wives of the Master" in the workshop of the Almighty A thousand years mean a day— To the patient at least are given the allowances for which they pray The purge seems at the end To higher planes on and on— From the realms of the boundless Floats the song—like a dying swan: —Theodora Spenacle, Cindennat, O (Translation from the German). Wheren A Young Woman Says A Pew Things! For The Elidification Of the Modern Preachers. To the Ed. Church. Dear me! What has become of the old time religion? Has it failed to be "good enough for us?" Has it been passed a lowly Church of God, that just the beautiful strains of the old time tunes tunnel one, "Rocks of Jesus, Lover of My Soul," and others, not to rollicking jazz tunes, good old good mediotous ones, rang out. At that time if one allowed one's self to enter, it seemed the air was that Christ's spirit that one felt the weight of life, lowly inside, as well as out, bore one down with nothing but peace. And the good old straight-shoulder sermons about Salvation Who could fail to feel benefited? But now. One comes down the street and as soon as he is within sight, he can begin to mark time forward. Then into the blazing flaring, glaring grandeur of an amphitheatre, in which one gets anything from a long sermon that only a college student can understand to a prize fight. Another, thing—all these so-called houses of God must be on the byway, waxy? Would it not be better to take a few of them into the byway, expand the moral and civic condition of the sections? Instead of so much splendor, could not some of the money expanded be used in having a municipality house, cared with each church? These houses not only to attract the youth from other areas, but to permit permanent shelter for its faithful aged and orphans. In this way aged people' homes and orphan houses and standing up yelling our heads off at the street, to nurture parors, bring all these and more into your community houses, so that under careful supervision will get only what is pure and good. For God's sake stop making "Golden Calves" and "Nevada Battling Arenas" of our churches; and give us some money to help Sunday was every day in the week. Avonia D. Brown. A *Zastronautical Desertation On Hate For The Benefit Of Truth. To the Editor: Truth, undoubtedly you are an emissary of Satan. What is your object, and up more race prejudice? What good do you expect to get out of it? Don't you realize that you are not here to stay always? not here to stay always?</td> Would you want to die with hatred in your heart for a people who hate you, or for your head except in self-defense?</td> Why would you welcome a race war, the results of which, as you think would mean the elimination of color race, some people hate dogs, some people hate almost everything, but probably you have a better definition of the name hatred or hate than if you were a Christian. Now are there any material difference in hatred for one object than another?</td> In the Bible we are taught to (often in unanticipated evidence) you are not a Christian?</td> Now just a brief analysis…If you treat a dog with kindness, naturally, he'll like you. Whereas if you, him mightly will dislike you. The former attracts, the latter repels.</td> But the psychological effect of the two forms of treatment produces hatred or repulsion, and on the other hand, a feeling of admiration or respect. And regardless of what the object is that is liked or disliked, the response to your head or bad or are reversely the same. Some people don't like cabbage, some don't like apples but they are good, some don't like potatoes, kind of fruit and vegetables is what might be termed gastrointestinal hatred, which pertains to the physical side of man. Some people have no mind or soul, therefore, it makes no difference whether they are like or disliked. But race hatred is a more and pungent form of hatred to the heart and soul, and when the mind which is only another name for the soul realizes that certain things are not worth it, whether in the form of a calamity, economic retardation, bodily violence, or disfranchisement, which is all a form of prejudice, the mind intuitively rebelts. This rebellion produces a sense of protection, or self preservation, and if the evil done by one is rebelled against, it comes a matter of evil asserting itself against evil, which plainly shows that all the trouble in the world today is the result of reciprocal Thus race prejudice is the worst evil in the world today, and motherhood is the greatest standing mistreated with justice, and saturated with the grace of God incorporated in the "Golden Rule" over stamp out the evil of race hatred. Fat Rascal ADJUDED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-28 The Week's Best Story MORE PATRIICIAN PARTS OF THE HOG Uncle Ned' had been a Civil War veteran but for some reason had not yet received his pension, and so he made his living by doing old jobs for his white neighbor, a "hug killin' time." For such help they usually paid him in kind—that is, in some kinds he received his pay in parts of the pig, sometimes in a small basket, sometimes a piece of jowl, or maybe the whole head. But later Uncle Ned was absent for the winter and some of the whites met on the street well-dressed and apparently well-fed, they said: "Uncle, we missed you from the good killings last week, and we had a lot of fine cars and snouts "Well, white fokes," said the old man archy, "Uncle Ned's pension started his' month, an' he's eaten further back on de hog now!" Heard and Seen In Baltimore Others Say Mr. Malone-The Ass By Ernest Rice McKinney, P. N. S. Mr. Aaron Malone, Mrs. Annle E. Malone's husband and a former book agent and smalltown school teacher, is making a grand effort to destroy Poro College and all that goes with it. Malone is attempting to get one-half of something that he doesn't own and something that he has done very little to help build. Poro College is the brain child of Mrs. Malone. The business is the result — almost solely — of her determination, grit and ability. As far as I can learn Malone was something of a parasite, a gentleman who got the glory and gained wide popularity due to the fact that he married a woman who was smart enough to build an enterprise that really brought in the dollars. Such marriages are seldom successful. Usually the man in the case chafes under such conditions and ends up by making an ass of himself. Malone is taking advantage of a provision of our archic legal system, which allows him to think. I don't believe, however, that he will be able to build anything as lasting and as worthwhile as Poro College. Mrs Malone and I were both very proud that he had been better off if he had continued teaching school and peddling books. BY WILLIAM PICKENS (The American Esop) By Ralph H. Hines According to municipal reports, automobiles were the cause—of over half of the untimely deaths during the year. But the truth is, just think of all the men who were shot for being caught out riding with other men's wives. And even this number would hardly compare with those who worked themselves to death trying to pay for the blame that if I am not mistaken, a few people might have been run over too. But this is no more than is expected. What is the use of paying to have bumpers put on your car if you can't handle body off every now and then? In the days of horses, the only time you took a chance of being run over was when one one bind of the reins. Now it's so seedy around; you see so many fool has hold of the wheel. Whatever faults a horse might have had, he could never go so far in half an hour that he would all go on a walk back. Automobiles make girls more healthy. No wonder, look at all the exercise they get. Autos are much safer however. A guy has to keep at least one hand on the wheel. America is inconsistent. They invented automobiles so people could enjoy themselves and then flee the city, instead drunken driving. This all right for the rich birds, but a gink has to be drunk to have enough nerve to drive a flyver. The only car that will give more trouble than a flyver is the flower. It has looked most of the people. Henry Ford must be the National Executioner. Autos have also created a lot of unnecessary evils. In the days of horses you never heard of a traffic cop. And you never feed store build like a palace. You often hear cars referred to as "Boots". This is because filling station men think a car can run on gasoline. Wutter is all right the radiator but it is as out of place in the gas tank as it is at an Elk's stag. We know a guy who calls his trouble buggy "Baby" because it always has a rattle. When you are driving you are liable to call it anything. That's why a man can drive a second hand car and stay in the ministry. Parking lights are what you put on your car to make easier to see and then night. It's getting a guy has to take his "hitzie" to bed with him in order to have it in the morning. It's tough to have your car stolen before you finish paying for it. Paying installments on stolen car like paying all the money you pay the price while some other guy gets all the pleasure. Rear end trouble is when your wife tries to tell you how you can fix the vacuum tank is located in the space above the cars of every reckless driver. Your bus may not have four wheel brakes, but if you have to buy tires for all four wheels at the same "time you'll be broke. To run a car you not only need a tire but also "jack" in your pocket. There have been several arguments as to which has the right brake trim. The auto has won most of the disputes so far. Kelly Miller Says Congress has just voted thirty million dollars to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, but the past twenty Congresses have not provided one cent for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment whose violation is more palpable than that of the Eighteenth. If consistency is a jewel, American statesmen should be decorated with brass. They have not only lost all moral perception, but all sense of humor. The Negro Vote Again To The Fore The public mind had become adjusted to the denial of the Negro's constitutional rights. The political conscience of the nation of the intension of the Civil War had become reconciled. Amendment 46 gave himself the callous to his guaranteed rights vouchsafed to him two generations ago. No appeal seemed to him from his lethality. * The President occasionally sermonizes on what the nation should do as a man, and how recommendation for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments has come from White men. Just thirty years. No statesman has artisen on the floor of either House of Congress with his advantage of firm arguments during the present century. The settled policy has been to suppress the Negro vote in the South and to manipulate it in North so that it would have serious effect on the general political equation. The whole issue had practically passed out of the political consciousness of unsettled questions of politicians. Recent happenings have brought the question again into public focus. 1. The presidential election is now approaching. The basis of the campaign of 1928 must be examined, the 1929 must get anxious, "To run or not to run", is the question now brooding in the presidential campaign, the affirmative the Southern Negro delegates will be given the necessary consideration to secure their vote, and the delegates will more the declared policy of his party and reverse his own availablenot to appoint a new South, out of consideration of the exigencies of his own nomination? The Negro is but a pawn in the game and do is to stand and await the next move. However, we shall probably be spared the nuisance of the Negro power and land, proclaiming to the race that its deliverance is contingent alone upon the success of the Republican Party and its nominated politic II. A Senator from Georgia has pushed through Congress a resolution' forbidding assessment of office holders as aunalong with the goal to eliminate the two Negro members from the national committee of the Republican Party, which would effectively remove the race from functioning in federal politics. A motion is now pending to investigate past conduct in this respect, with assistance of eliminating Ben Davis and Perry Howard, the only vestige of Negro authority carrying with it political control. Democrats and Republicans alike get behind closed doors and refrain 'Dye. Bye Blackbird.' III. The enactment has called renewed attention to the failure of the antecedent Civil War Amendment to the Civil War, and to obeying the Eighteenth Amendment" says New York to Mississippi, "when you persist in violating the Fourteenth and Fifteenth with impunity." The North and the South have exchanged places. The North is now insisting upon the right to determine their own type of conduct, while the South maintains the supremacy of federal law. The involved moral inconsistence is escape public notice and comment. Both sections revere the Constitution in spots. One section says to the other, "you should obey the laws of the Constitution which I do not like I will keep quiet on those portions which you ignore. But if you do amendments which are distasteful to me, then you must not expect me to continue to accuse you of your wrongdoing which are disagreeable to you." This is a pretty moral mess for a high-minded nation to indulge in. Amidst the din we hear the voices of those who are our chief magistrate chosen to carry out the decrees of a brave and honest people:—"You ought to obey the law because it is the law which we need no need to impotent moralizing." 14th Amendment Flagrantly Violated The other day, on the floor of the Senate, the Senator from the great state of New York, stated that every senator, knew fully well that the 18th Amendment is igrained in its violation. Why did he not also say that every member of Congress is fully aware that the Fourteenth Amendment is flagrantly violated, and that a goodly proportion of Senators and members of the beneficiaries of that annuity? The Fourteenth Amendment declares that if any state shall distrishise male citizens over representation in Congress shall be reduced in that proportion. It further declares that Congress shall have power to enforce this provision. It also neither the President nor Congress has taken any step to enforce this part of the Constitution. Congress has just voted thirty-eightth Amendment, but the past twenty Congresses have not provided one cent for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment. They are not unreasonable than that of the Eighteenth. If consistency is a Jewel, American statesmen should be decorated with brass. They have not on occasion been unable to sense of humor. How the European nations must hold their sides with laughter at the moral predicament of the American man against the moral monitor of mankind? 1928 Presidential Campaign Ben Davis And Perry Howard North, South And States' Rights * Death Knell Of Nation's Doom The Negro is the passive bearer of the law. Every black thinker in the world must be a nation which violates its law is sounding the death penalty or an own doom. President Cox is saying that overriding of the Carson provision, in any of its parts or provisions, will soon lead to the execution. Will he ignore Cussandra, the person who ignores his prophecy yet they fail to bear his heart of heart yet his admiration is true and his speech is right. We can not anticipate the coe-binance of his moral anarchy by taking him male, and moralist, then taking him must end. This knot of his lessness cannot be unangle. Ll without giving the Negro his fortune, he will not wait. All things come to him as he waits. All of the protests of a plot of the Negros from the timer to the tortor Blease, has gulped the but little political advantage. But the unfolding of the moral effect of the political conclusion so devoutly to his wished. Political Mammon Of Unrighteousness IV. The lavish use of monarchy the primaries has become a bad political issue. It also cared with it moral consideration. The Republicans North have exchanged sides. The Democratic party that has so stoutly for state rights no insist on the power of the federal Senate to override the state will of the individual state. As the New York Times puts it elsewhere, the North says to the South, "We will put our yearly elections, we will put our yearly you to steal yours." If the South reed would keep quiet on the corrupt politics, it could go on suppression. After the Negro vote till朵朵 day, so and far as the North would date to impeach glass houses they must not throw stones. So that the Pennsylvania senator has put the South or so far with the keystone state as to its method of conducting election of the keystone state as to its mute and then the ground and grand old parish will institute inquiry into well known Southern methods. Nor at least are abuses in the South no money to taxish on elections as the North has. The North has no hords of Negro politicians fall out, Negroes get their dues. He again becomes the benefactor, the political mammon of the South has. Grandfather Clauses Null And Void V. Occasionally cases arise involving the rights of the Negro under the constitution of the United States when clearly stated issue of political rights has been involved, the Court has upheld the fundamental purpose of the Constitution. The grandfather clauses in the several revised constitutions of the Southern states were negative in their own right, and nine judges of that judicial arbiter. Chief Justice White, a Louisiana Democrat, nominated by the Supreme Court of its annulment, delivered the opinion that these provisions were in contravention of the Fifteenth Amendment, and were therefore void. I doubt whether this great decision caused a single addition Negro to avail himself of the suffrage of the Constitution, a violation of the Constitution bringing all race distinction in the right of franchise. It is well to keep open the door to Negroes, not a single individual goes through. A case is now before the Supreme Court involving the right of Negroes to enter a Democratic primary. It is not a case involving federal features, the decision can easily anticipated. Although it is difficult to see just what concrete political changes Negroes by forcing his way into a Democratic primary in Texas, yet all affirmative decisions accumulate in the same direction and involve Negro's ultimate political advantage. 19th Amendment Broaden Franchise VL The Nineteenth Amendment conferring the suffrage upon women, the right to vote, on women's potentiality, but his reinforced his claims by broadening the basis of the franchise and with the democratic principle.

If political exigencies require the Republican Party to glaze over corruption in public life, he should not approve if the grand old party uses unethical money in the local or national election, he should not approve; if the whole nation engages in corruption, he should lynch and be laden with lynching and be laden with lynching, he should cry out the louder; if both political parties should agree to ignore the Eightseventh Amendment he should lynch his only weapon of defense in his political helplessness is the sword and shield of righteousness.

We asked William Ayers, a native Liberian, member of a Val tribe, and he blamed the country's troubles on the government which taxes native natives and uses the money to have a good time. He also blamed the country's backwardness in letter and who blames his country's backwardness on the church which sends missionaries to Africa with a E Bible instead of a hoc, a hammer and chisel.

Both may be right. Neither may be nays are students at MorehouseCollege, Ariz. J. MARCUS HOUSTON The churches of America and Europe have been sending missionaries to Liberia for many years, and another more progress than she has. This question can be easily answered when we stop and think of the kinds of missionaries in Liberia. In the first place industry and the resources of Liberia have been ignored by the missionaries. All missionaries have been sent for the purpose of preaching the Gospel and to teach about the Christian faith. All missionaries have the most important thing in regard to the nation's progress and development of her resources. Civilized and educated missionaries affect the Christianity, yet Christianity of itself will never develop a nation. The kind of missionaries that Liberia civil engineers, miners, building contractors, bankers and professional teachers. Then we hope a great National development. For one to understand and appreciate the situation of Liberia, it is necessary to get a good geographical condition of that country. The bare feet that the Liberians have been able to keep intact the affairs of government, and the uprisings throughout the years, warrant the highest reapent. This burden has been rebounded by European aggrievance and industrial domination of the African continent and peoples, and by frequent encounters upon the limited territory bordered by the founders of the Republic. It was no easy task for any people to even mark time at forming a sea on the outskirts of teakhenian; the numerical and over balancing strength of which might have swept the civilization into the sea at certain dangerous places. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, if the forward march of Liberia has been halted and hindered for the past three centuries, and a fact warrants the highest commendation for the beaten accomplished by the under such strenuous and long circumstances. Take everything into consideration, and judging from the old strides made along the way, we must last thirty years we must say the Liberians are an unusual people. Few nations in the world have such possibilities of education in the true sense as the Liberians in such a short time, and the Liberians in such a diplomatic position, might appear to tl. critical mind, when we consider a nation with such a small size, which for many years post has been face to face with diplomatic problems with nations such as France and which has met the situation and won many cases. It then becomes easy to admit that wisdom in the statement Foreigners Welcome Liberia has received in the past much help by the foreign teachers, and is now in the position to handle her own religious responsibilities. This from a religious stand point will be better for the government and for the These have been many missionaries. In Liberia, whose interest has been for their own interests and augmented by the country and its people. These missionaries have been received by the people of that country, and have had extended to them the best opportunities. Some have taken the advantage of the treatment and incursion have depicted Liberia as a demoralized nation, on the basis of its poverty and the missionaries who have gone to Liberia with their whole intention to give that country all that is possible, and have conserved their resources. For such missionaries Liberia will always have an open door. Liberia is glad to have and to welcome all foreigners when they are in the country, and adding the development of the country. The Liberian government foreign policy has always been broad, and she will always respond to crises when it is constructive. Government educational system, which is under the direct control of the government has been handicapped in anathema and has been united with the educational system equal to the development of the nation. However, the government has many schools, and it is the responsibility of the government that most of the Liberians have received their higher education. As present the government ad-hocly takes this field. The natives of the jungle lack the educational advantages that are enjoyed by civilize people of Liberia. In many places there are no schools and the natives have to send their children sometimes over two hundred miles to the government or schools. Owing to her centering of all her effort upon other national and international national duties, daily, Ecclesiastical system of education has failed to reach most of these people so that it now becomes the task of the government to the educational needs of the people. Of course, the government will not be able to accomplish so great a task in a short while, unless aid from external sources.

Read their news. Bo ze, Atlanta, Ga. WILLIAM AYERS Why is it that Liberia, a Negro Republic on the West Coast of Africa, colonized over a century ago, has not made any more advancement than she has? Different individuals have answered the question in different ways. Those of us who know our prides, who know our prides would be hurt when the truths are told, generally coast of the coast, but those of us who prefer facts to pride, and prejudice, will receive the outspoken truths calmly, and think over the situation. Government In Name Only A government, that exists in name only and exerts enormous taxes from the half civilization, that is supported by those natives themselves and whose revenues are appropriated to comforts and pleasures of the government, is Lagerstroth's greatest handiwork. men who have studied the economic conditions of Liberia five years she has spent a million dollars more than she has spent on her birth has taken it that she has been able to make the natives pay taxes. This was hitherto the case in Liberia, taxes paid by the natives far exceeds that which is paid by the government to one. What is the use of the tax paid by the natives when they get no material profit from Borrowed Money Liberia, always unwilling to get down to hard work and force the fertile soil to yield its riches, has always lied to our bounty, which she has always been extraordinarily unucky and extraordinarily unhappy. "When she is always stuck, she is always stuck. In 1870 she borrowed $500,000 from private sources in London, and Liberia was sting. The country threw the thieving president and his assistants were made rich by it. In 1906 she borrowed another $500,000 from private banks and she was the worst of the deal. In 1918 she made many attempts to borrow $5,000,000 from the United States, but she was unable to all thoughtful Liberians. Right along she has been in the ditch," so to speak, and to liquidate her debt she has leased out a million Firestone Rubber Company. What this will culminate into countries, as San Domingo and Haiti, that have had financial business with the United States of America. Land Of Plenty Liberia is a land of plenty, and on the other hand she is a land of want. One would think it hard to soil that Africa would be a great industrial center, and that cultivation of cocoa, rubber, coffee, and oil or civilization would be encouraged and promoted. It has been proven by comparison, and by laborer Liberia that that cocoa and rubber Liberia coffee surpasses any other coffee on the globe. Does Liberia control coffee in Liberia? Control allowed to purchase the coffee from the Liberians for the enormous price of ten or twelve cents per pound, less than sixty cents for the same in the United States. At least one per cent of Liberia's or Liberia's rice is cultivated in the most private ways by the natives, who have no income. In the plant, only enough for their immediate use. This means that rice, the national food of Liberia, which grows with rice, can be planted and animal husbandry will cause. Church Schools Need 3 Education in Alabama is always still is a problem. If it were not for missionary societies, education in Liberia would be in a chaotic condition. Think a nuttier school than a small state schools. There are about fifty public schools in Liberia with fifty-four teachers, and an approximate enrollment of 10 million of mission schools with one hundred and twelve teachers, and four thousand pupils. This is to say that about one child in every ten thousand living an education in Liberia. Good Men Need Can you see what is really wrong with the good and able unselfish, and trustworthy—to steer her Ship of State. She needs "men whom the lust of office will not buy." She needs lawyers, financial advisors and fact, she needs everything. The question that often comes to me is can't the American Negro form a company to promote the industry of the world Liberia has failed. Hl Hatters "The educated native born Africans are adding an increasingly important quota of prominent men to the world of Liberian foreigners, as are a rule, free from the superiorities and rapid nonsense of the American-spoiled oligarchs who have had things their way and then and then skilled Negroes, not afraid to work to make homes in Liberia. A party of these two groups is organized in the Confederation. No criticism which I have voiced in this article, but may be heard a thousand times in Monrovia where men are massed, many of whom are already in the government, foregather. There are great illumitable possibilities in the great great great be trapped with intelligence. The Negro has not SABBATH DAY DEBATE IS WON BY REV. IVY SUN WORSHIPERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUN. By the murrow marzipn of 234 to 246 votes, the Rev. W. M. Wily won the decision over the Rev. M. S. Banshel, pastor of the Episcopal Church in their debate at Ames M. E. Church on the question "Prove by the Scriptures That Sunday is the Real sabbatah." The large audience was divided in opinion and food applause and applause sections of the auditorium as the debaters manipulated the Scriptures to make a foundation for their conventions. How many words were placed on the same verse was shown in some instances when the contestants would quote a portion of the same verse from the Bible, including portion of another verse in another book to make the interpretation entirely contradictory. The debate was opened by Dr. W. M. Ivy, who had the affirmative side of the question. Resolved, "That Sunday is the Christian Sabbath," he said. "He is the Bible that the first day of the week and not the seventh day was the proper day of rest. "I am not here," he began, "to do anything that I cannot defend me. The Sabbath was changed after the resurrection of Christ," he declared, "because the Hebrew refused to accept him as a follower and a followers of Christianity made Sunday their Sabbath in commemoration of the day Christ rose from the dept." The observance was the day of worship as the Sabbath is in accord with the laws of Moses and not with the laws of Christ. The verse which says we should not put our trust in the justious worship, he declared, "and we shall not attempt to follow the teachings of Jesus and also be governed by the laws of the new doctrine." Gurd Mado Sabbath Day Gold Made Sabbath Day The Second Day of Advent Church, took the negative side, and declared that "the seventh day of the week was the Sabbath because the Scriptures say the Sabbath because the seventh day and made it holy. If you are a follower of God, you have to observe this day as the true Sabbath because the Sabbath because that he had given authority to any one else to bless and make holy any other day." The Rev. Mr. Bansfield quoted a passage in the hedecension he decided not to reverse his command. If this is true, he declared, "the same sabbath of the old testament is the sabbath and the other breaking the commandment concerning the sabbath day." The debaters themselves were the greatest contrast and decision in the discussions. The Rev. Ivy, represented the old school of barnstorming minister, Large and pompous, dressed in a long-tailed coat that was worn in true Methode style as he became wrapped up in his subject, he sterned up and down the altar, and drew amens from the congregation as he quoted The Rev.

Peter, James an. John, who had already gone with the Master to the death bed in the house of Jairus, and would very soon come closer to his age, but his disciples, were now with him in "place apart," somewhere on the slopes of Hermon. Strange things woe a hapening there: things difficult for people the unfaithful mystery of life and learned that there are more things in heaven and earth than we dreamed of in our philosophy. As the Divieian man prayed that night, on the snow-capped mountain's city's hope upon his heart, his disciples beheld his body suddenly over, with an unfamiliar sister. His pure soul and owed his blessing to his friend with a wonderful radiance. His face shone as the sun, and his garments became glistening white and white, white them!" the glory of Jesus already attracted by a few fine and sensitive souls, was now apparent to the very eyes of men, high, venerable pioneers of law and prophecy, had come through the intervening mystery which separated them, were talking with Jesus, within sight and hearing of the disciples. Then a voice broke forth from a luminous cloak: "This is my dream," he whispered. Any one acquainted with Simon will not be surprised if he speaks now. He is the type of man who knows what others must think and feel, but dare not utter. He was a valuable man to Jesus: a Rock, Foundation Man, for this very reason he was a Rock, for this very reason he made it possible for Jesus to give them direction. Bishop McConnell says that Peter asked many foolish questions, but those questions brought from Jesus very It would be difficult for us to sojourn with Simon and dodge issues that stresses that so nearly concern us, and trying to hide them from ourselves as though they were real, but we must regain his gratius, for expression, which was WATERS' A.

Mrs. Corinthia Harris, a member SERMON the virtue of Simon Peter, would save us from the folly of applying ostrich wisdom to vital problems. If we had the courage to talk frankly concerning our problems, there would be less occasion to fight about them. In grave moral and social situations where the spokesman of Jesus, so-called, keep dependably mute, Simon Peter would certainly have something to say or at least ask some embarrassing questions. Peter was a true disciple of the one who came to earth "That thoughts out of many hearts might be revealed." So on the Mount of Transfiguration, while experience was rife, James reflected deeply, John thrilled with awe, and Peter spoke. Peter felt the tides running high in his soul; and he said so: "Lord it is good for us to be here." When Peter has a weighty idea or a generous impulse, it is likely to get expression. No matter what celebrities are present, no matter how delicate the situation, no matter if the God which he sets for himself; at least his Master may count on him to give honest expression to the best that he knows and copes with, to commissions to feed his sheep and lambs. This is the foundation man, on whose God-inspired utmost commitment against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. One of the biographers of Isaac the necessary instrument for Peter's decease during the Transformation. He knew not what to say, for he was so afraid. there are always disables, more cautious, but less valuable than Peter, who guard their words very zealously in temples situations, and in something indiscreet will almost certainly be silent. They talk most when there is but little need for them to be involved in the conversation is not likely to be material which will spread fire in the earth or set a father against his son, or make a martyr those of his own. There are things "that Rabbit will not talk about." No apology was really needed for what Peter said, and he was to be there, high upon the mountain, in those Transfigured Moments. The experience was so rich and lush that it was hard to imagine later three of the Coptes and one New Testament epistle; and the glory which shone that night, in its mountain peaks, was thousand years on every continent and over every sea.

SECRETARY ECKFORB AT MORGAN COLLEGE The urgent needs of the colored branch Y. M. C. A.'s are definite programs which will meet the needs of the lower classes, and a well educated group of executives who have a cultural and religious background. These points were set forth by Marvin B. Eckford, Executive Secretary of the Druld Hill Avenue branch Y. M. C. A. in an address before Morgan College assembly workers. Eckford frankly admitted that the Y. M. C. A. is an institution catering to people who have had some advantages of education and culture. This is due to the fact that the "Y" was organized as a club for clerks and office workers. Mr. Eckford urged that some of the students prepare for the positions of secretaries and special "Y" workers. Large Churches And Autos Attracting Ministers From God Large churches and automobiles have attracted many ministers away from God, was one of the charges made in an address before the Episcopal Church, Dr. A. A. Graham, Secretary Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Convention. On the foreign fields, said Dr. Graham, in many instances the Moorish divided Protestants, and no wonder there are controversies concerning the Virgin Birth, because the pulpit and the church as a whole are away from the teachings of the Saviour. Supervisor Francis M. Wood and Prof. H. T. Pratt were presented to the conference. They urged the ministers to cooperate with them in the work which begins, Sunday February 6th. The ministers voted to preach on some phases of Negro achievements next Sunday. The conference also demanded terrestrial Commission, as presented to them by Prof. T. J. Callaway, The following ministers joined the conference: J. R. Rees, W. F. Isaac, S. V. Reed, R. R. Fitzgerald, and T. M. Allen. The Rev. T. L. Jones was restored back to the conference. Next Monday Dr. J. H. Perryman will address the conference. Knight Templars Pilgrimage Assn. Is Organized Following a call issued by Harry P.

BY THE FAMILY HISTORY, POVERTY, POLITICS, BUSINESS ARE CHIEF PROBLEMS Howard Young Discusses Race Possibilities At Open Forum "Some Negro problems and their possible solution" was the subject of an address at the Open Forum on Sunday afternoon, by Howard Young, former secretary of Bishop Brooks. Mr. Young outlined four of the Negro's problems as the problem of history, the problem of poverty, the problem of politics and that of business. "King Negro home school and church should aim to make the individual colored man convergent with his history," declared the speaker. "Negroes should know that they have come from somewhere, somebody, and are going somewhere." Poverty is one of our greatest problems, Mr. Young asserted. "As a group we are distressingly poor," he said, "and it would be better for us to consider paying for relational institutions into one large one instead of attempting to run several precarious ventures." "Many of our churches have become Day-as you enter, pay-as-you-sit, and pay-as-you-leave, affairs. A few people feel that they should out and create a debt that their children and indeed the whole community must eventually assume." "Two of our problems are those of politics and business. The Negro is not in either of those to the extent he should be. Only the white children and indeed the public that the Negro take a more active part will we be able to solve this problem. A prominent part in the discussion that followed was taken by William Pitzgerald, Oscar Thomas, Henry C. Moore, and the speaker for next Sunday is C. G. Owens who will talk on "Some racial differences." Miner Supports Union Policy In a speech, characterized as an avalanche of oratory, in which he called the miner's union "a protecting tree, whose sheltering branches and treachery unite the miners of West Virginia," delegate M. Beatty, of Clarkshire, West Virginia, supported the administration amendment of John W. Lewis, a former governor of America power to make assessments without referendum. Baha'i Year Book Out NEW YORK.— The remarkable growth in this country and Europe of the comparatively new religion of brotherhood, founded by Bahá'u'l-hisher in Persia eighty years ago, is graphically presented in the first annual Bahá'u'l Year Book which shows that 69 percent of the United States and Canada have assemblies or groups of believers in that faith. WATERS—In sad but loving 'remembrance of our dear husband and father, William H. Waters, who departed this life one year ago to day, January 31, 1926. I loved him, yes I loved him But angels loved him more; And they have sweetly called him To yonder shining shore. The golden gates were open of home and peace; And with farewells unspoken He calmly entered home. By his loving wife and children.

You know each generation that moves on before you back to the one that shakes being balthic and worries what in the deuce is the world coming to, and what will become of the younger set.

Old St. Peter. And he always it possible for a bobbed haired girl to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Well, I've never read in any Biblical books where one's personal looks played a heck of a part in gaining admission to paradise. I firmly beats byish bob has as good a chance as her grandma did, in her high coifure and wide hoop skirts and I don't believe that old St. Peter would be mean enough to blackball a girl just because she clips hair and wears tow corests. But whether she goes to Heaven or not I can say this much for the bobbed haired girl. She sure makes things much pleasanter for us folks while we tarry here on earth. The New Testament says New between you and me there, as much purity in a pair of rolled Bond hose and just as much virtue 'neath a boyish bob as there was in the skirts that mopped up the earth and collected microbes and kept men from getting the slightest idea of what women used to propel them about. Now I may be nuts, but you'll have to confess that a modern flapper when put to the test will prove a much more interesting and attractive thing, that is as far as women folks go, than her predecessor with her modesty that made you feel like you were doing something kind of break, and made you watch everything that you did and careful of everything that you said. Be Yourself But with the modern maid you can be your self and say what you like and do as you please and she does. You can be your face because she conceals there are things about life that really aren't secrets anymore. Now I don't believe that she's any worse than her mother was when she was coming along, just a little more frank and perhaps she just doesn't give a darn.
