"PENS" All Freed Except Those Convicted Of Offenses Involving Moral Turpitude THIRTY-ONE HELD AT LEAVENWORTH ly Says Gen. Davis WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special)—There are still 70 war time prisoners incarcerated in federal prisons, according to Major General Robert C. Davis of the War Department in a special statement to the AFRO this week, but with the exception of the Houston rioters all were convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude. "Of the colored soldiers who were convicted by general courts-martial between April 6, 1917, and March 3, 1921, there are now in continement at the U. S. Pententery, Leavenworth, Kansas, thirty-one at the U. S. Pententery, Gleason, at the U. S. Pententery, McNeill Island, Washington, one; at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Washington, D. U. two; and at the U. S. Disciplinary Barracks, Fort Knox, enworth, Kansas, eighty-eight, where are the so-called Houston rioters. "Aside from the Houston rioters, the offenses of which these men were convicted include murder; robbery and larceny; rape; assault; assault with intent to commit rape, and other offenses of the most serious Military Sentences Wiped Out "Early in 1419, shortly after the Armistice, according to the statement, the cases of all military prisoners were reviewed by a board of officers in The Judge Advocate General's Office with the view of correcting inequalities of sentences and seeing that injustice was overcome." Step 3: As a result of this review every sentence that might be deemed to be excessive was reduced or remitted, and only sentences imposed for the most serious offences, such as murder, manslaughter, or were uncharged. "The report this is current to the effect that all war time military prisoners have been released no doubt relates to those convicted of military offences alone, such as desertion, absence without cause, and crimes not involving moral turpitude. Cases Reviewed Annually Under a rule of the War Department governing the subject, the cases of all military prisoners are considered for clemency within the first month and eventually thereafter. You will see that the case of each of the prisoners referred to above is reviewed each year with a view to the possible extension of clemency. Many of the cases are initially reduced, and no doubt other reductions will be made where the facts in the case and the conduct of the prisoner warrant such action. DIVORCE SUIT BARES VA. AVE.

ERNST CARRIES BALLOT PROBE INTO SENATE MAJORITY WOULDN'T BOTHER DEMOGRATS Morris And King Vote To Investigate Sale Of Dixie Federal Plums Instead BY LOUIS R. LAUTIER WASHINGTON, D. C.— "The right to hold office and the right to vote are inseparable and if one charge is to be investigated a refusal to investigate the other is discriminatory and indefensible." That is the view of Senator Richard P. Erust, republican, of Kentucky, who filed a minority report last Wednesday on registration providing for an investigation of the alleged sale of Federal patronage. This majority resolution as reported was a substitute for the resolutions introduced in the Senate by Senator William J. Harvis, democrat, of Georgia, and Senator William H. King, The Harris resolution asked for an investigation of a report that "the National Committeeman of the Republican party in the state of Missouri offered of Federal office of his influence in respect of appointment to such offices." The King resolution provided for a broader investigation. THE COMMITTEE Both of these resolutions were referred to the Senate judicial committee. That committee referred them to a subcommittee consisting of Senator George W. Norris, republican of Oklahoma and Senators Ernst and King. Senator Ernst sought to provide by amendment that no investigation should be made under the resolution unless charges were made by responsible parties. This amendment failed. He then endeavored to lift the investigation and conditions in Georgia. This also failed. He then offered as a substitute a resolution which provided for an investigation of "a denial to many citizens of their right to vote or to have their votes counted" as well as of the alleged sale of Federal patronage. The committee failed to approve this substi- WHAT ERNST SAYS In his minority report Senator Ernst gudt that he offered his substitute resolution "not because I approved of the proposed investigation but because I believe that if an investigation must be made of the actions of our officers, it must be made with respect to the barter and sale of offices there can be no good reason why investigation should not at the same time in all fairness be made to ascertain whether or not officials of party organization are involved in the investigation, are denying to citizens of such states the right to vote and to have their votes counted, a question which is even now before the courts."

CAPTAIN MILLER There is something dramatic in the scene of saving helpless people from a burning building. Surrounded by relentless flames, suffocated by smoke—confused by the din of noises—they grope helplessly toward the building and scream. Men's hearts are stirred—the brave fire ladies respond heroically and more lives are saved. Thousands of Victims Are Perishing From Catarrh Did it ever occur to you that all over the land men and women are perishing from the slow ravages of chronic Catarrh? The flames are less dramatic, to be sure, but no less awful in their ultimate termination. To save the multitude of victims from the slow burning of Catarrh has been the life mission of Dr. S. B. Hartman, one of the foremost men of his age. His own prescription, PERUNA, has been offered to the sick of the 60s, PERUNA is known as "the world's greatest tonic"—it restores strength and promotes appetite—it should be in every home—every men, of the family will benefit by its, quent use. Captain Miller and Fireman Fred Marton Believe in PERINA These fire-fighters, so well and favorably known for valiant service, at Pumper Company Engine House No. 1, Indianapolis, tell of their experience—but read their letters: THE PERUNA Corporation, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Sirs: Fifteen years ago I was terribly troubled with Catarrh of the head and always an easy victim of colds. Was in a run-down condition due to it and after each fire I attended, it was more cold and my Catarrh would get worse. Tried several medicines and no relief. Finally I tried PERUNA.

C. Balloting ceased, and the names of three candidates, W. Justin Carter, Harrisburg, Pa., Miss Nellie Quander of this city, and Dr. George Frazier Miller, Brooklyn, N. Y., were sent to the trustee Board last week for the final selection of a member to be appointed as alumni representative on the trustee board of Howard University. It is said that Emory Smith, alumni field secretary who kept his name on the ballot after much protest led the six candidates with 318 votes, but the executive committee at a special meeting with a lawmaker leaving only two in the race. The votes polled were as follows: W. Justin Carter 278; Miss Quander 265, Dr. George F. Miller, 264; Dr. Charles Garvin 262, and J. Louis 96. The three members on the trustee board, who are a member of the university, Dr. Summer Worley, Dr. Sara Brown and Dr. M. O. Dumes, are said to have been the ones who decided Mr. Smith's status as a candidate. The annual election of the local Alumnae chapter has been deferred until next Fall and the present officers will remain in office until that time.

MALONE TO FILE CROSS BILL FOR DIVORC Page Four WHO TOOK RUSH OUT OF RUSSIA ASKS PICKENS! American Traveler Abroad Finds Even Calendar Is 13 Days Behind THOUSANDS FILE BY TOMB OF LENIN Trotzky Laughs At Garvey's Back To Africa Scheme For U. S. RUSSIA—(By William Pickens, For A. N. P.)—The destiny of Russia has been more or less in the hands of her farmers and industrial workers for not quite ten years. That is but a moment in human history. It was surprising to find that these "common people" had gone so far with their task. They still lack, and will lack, American "efficiency" and speed. Most of Europe lacks that. Russia Slow They are slow in Russia. Every official comes late to his office; they certainly mean to enjoy their freedom. If a thing is promised tomorrow, expect it about two later, and be sure to see and wait after it a time, before that. Expect it a lot of waiting, in well-defined and as their offices are not yet have to do a lot of walking, too. Offices Often you must carry a paper invitation to four different offices, for the signatures and records of various officials, when all of those officials ought to be housed in the same room and so save time for themselves and another office, you may go to another office, you may start the end of which you must start — unless you have some certificate of courtesy from the government which will allow you to be served out of your turn. The early bird will not catch the worm in Russia, for the worm will be Calendar Behind Even the old orthodox Russian that Oct. 25th comes on Novem- calendar is just 13 days behind the calendar of the rest of the world, so ber 7th. — I had another mas" in Russia on January 7th Since the revolt" this old cal- endar has been into disuse, except of old people. I was invited to a new Christmas eve party on January 6th. —Some English-spaaking Russians rolled with laughter when I remarked that somebody had evidently taken the "tush" out of Russia. M. Lenin's Tomb With the person who acted as my secretary and interpreter I went as the snow fell between five and six in the evening, to the Mausoleum where Lenin lies in state, and there were thousands, lined up for a block or more outside, continually growing, marching in down through the cemetery and out again on the snow fall. Pictures Everywhere The sight of these people and this devotion is more remarkable than the sight of Lenin. There are more likenesses of Lonin in Moscow than of any other being that ever lived. —in every room of every public building, every room of every private building, not one likeness to the room, but often three or four, —paintings and sculpture and prints, —different postures and on different historical occasions, busts, full statues, life sizes and miniatures. And still the thousands stream to the Mausoleum to view the actual clay of the dead lea- Workers' Clubs That same night I went to one of the Workers' Clubs, —the biggest, institution that I have ever seen any working people conducting for their own good; perhaps twenty-odd different things are going on in various places, in that same time, lectures, classes, plays, demonstrations. There is one auditorium with 2,000 seats where professional actors were giving an operetta to a full house! There were several auditoriums where senior auditoriums were holding various subjects. There were classes in engineering, architecture, sewing, embroidery, journalism, English, etc. Amusements There were a restaurant room, billiard rooms, lobbies, hails, nurseries for babies, while their mothers attend the classes of lectures, and classes in health culture. The institution is housed in one of the old Czar's munitions plants, where he made materials to shoot the people with them, they work the intelligent-looking work people, young and early riddle-aged, such as one could not see in New York or Chicago.— Ask About Negro Some of their leaders asked very pertinent questions about the American likeness was in every hall and every room, over and over again. They take this man to be the chief man all their liberties and opportunities. The Jews And there were Jews. At last the Jew is a man in Russia, which alone might atone for the horrors of the revolution. Before the revolution Jews were not allowed to live in Moscow unless they were wealthy merchants, catering to "white" Russians. — The Dead Czars And the next day I went to another section, the Kremlin, relic of the dead Czars. There, then was the dead Lenin, the living people, and the elicited the to be enough gold and silver and precious stones and relics of Russian history in the museum and the numerous churches within the Kremlin to pay the debts of a na- Gold And Silver There are presents of silver and gold from the monarchs of other lands to the Czars and Czarinas of old Russia, — some from 'Queen Elizabeth of England and Philip of Spain, and from those who ante- Call Vernon 6016 dated them. One looks interestedly at the bed and the war boots of Peter the Great, at the great bell which one of the Czarinas had cast, the largest bell in human history, weighing over 260 tons, with a clapper that it would require a steam crane to lift. Bell Cracked It was cracked, a piece fell out of it, and it was never rung. — and it stands there now, raised on a pedestal, an everlasting bronze monument with the Czarina's portrait cast on the side of it. One passes through a door and comes under the bell which seems to be a door and books like a large vaulted room. It would have taken a great machine to have rung that bell. — How egotistic kings and queens are! In Russia Alone When I started into Russia I had not "not into touch with any acquaintances there. I dared to go "on my own", so to speak. Many people tried to trighten or discourage me; I would "freeze" to death, or something like that. Some said that I would find enough trouble getting in and more getting out. I went,—with only two people in Moscow knowing that I was coming; The Secretary of Anna Louise Cousins was still alive, still dead from Dresden, and who was to be my secretary and interpreter; and one British girl, who is head of the Quaker Centre on Borsigelskys street and whom the wired to meet me in Warsaw had wired to meet me in Moscow. But, as it is the season when all powers are present in Moscow, I was not there twenty-four hours before the leaders knew of it, and I was not there with the vice president with Trozycki's sister, Mina Kameneva, who heads up the Bureau of Cultural Relations, which sees to it that visitors have the opportunity to see many institutions which only an order from the authorities can open. No Prejudice In Russia There is less color prejudice in New York than in Mississippi; less in England than in New York; less in France than in England; and not a God's bit in Russia. —Mune Kamenaru is known for being porous, but it seems it is being more a matter of policy than of emotion. She could not speak a word of English, and as I was equally expert in Russian, we had to use an interpreter. I did not know at first that I was going to have to have me mug or feasted, but it turned out she was outlining a program for me to see Moscow, at my pleasure. I was not influenced to follow the program outlined, simply because as much chance it might have, dwellt in with my plans. Lenin's Sister Later, I saw Oulianova, the sister of Lenin, Lenin's real name was Oulianoff (though best I can do it in English), and he got the historic name Lenin in a memorable way; the Czar's police were hot affair, and he spent selecting another name. He had been guilty of organizing the strike in Lena mines, on the Lena River, — and so he hastily grabbed the name "Lenin." — Former Russian President Old man Kalinin, the farmer President of the country, is like a great big likable boy. He had a cigarette hanging loose and unlightened, corrupted by a cough, a soft wrinkle on his, and a dark sweater under his coat. He has bright, laughing eyes and light-Brown hair. I asked the Russian policy toward "minorities" and learned that they are giving as much "autonomy" as possible to minority races, who may use their own locals in all their internal affairs. Russian being required only in the general government documents and in all-Russian affairs. Back To Africa The largest possible freedom is given each group or "race." He asked about America. He had heard dimly of the "back to Africa" melodrama, and remarked voluntarily that that was out of any country to any other. And Lev. Trotzky, as his name goes in Russian, is a clever person. He wanted to ask many questions, and I had finally to abandon him to "go to the movies", which will make Mrs. Pickens laugh. I wished he the great evolutionary picture, "Potemkin", which is being shown also in New York, but is doubtless somewhat "cut". However, Trotzky's remarks were so pertinent that I shall begin the next paper with them. DELAWARE STERILIZES FEEBLE MINDED DOVER, DEL., Feb., (ANP.)—The sterilization of the insane and feeble-minded, of this state is to be carried on in an extensive way in the future, according to Dr. Tarlumanzin, superintendent of the State Hospital for the insane. Dr. Tarlumanzin reported that more than thirty patients at the State Hospital have been sterilized under his laws are 98 more on the list, awaiting the operation. It is the plan to sterilize from 150 to 200 every year until all the feeble-minded people in this state have been so treated and thereafter they will be amputated or imbecile, or feeble-minded children in Delaware will be a thing of the past. New Slavery System In New Orleans NEW ORLEANS.—A new system of abduction, sale and enslavement of human beings came to light in Louisiana. Last week, an indictment against Webb Blue and John Alfred, of Amite County, Mississippi, charging them of forcing Crawford Allen to get out of Louisiana, where he was sold into involuntary servitude to a farmer for $20. With Crawford was also his wife and three children, all of whom were compelled to work without several weeks under heavy guard. Wife Accuses Physician PHILADELPHIA—Dr. Frederick G. Slade was halled into Municipal Court here, last week, by his wife, who accused him of mocking theobe the beheaded and brutalizing her. She asked for separate alimony and maintenance.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly DINING CAR UNION INSTALLS OFFICERS Local No. 6, At Washington, Represents 600 Men On Thru Railroads BROTHERHOOD SHOWS RESULT OF UNION Enrolls 3000 Men On 14 Roads And Is Proud Of Several Victories WASHINGTON, D. C.—Newly elected officers of Local No. 6 Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, were Installed by Idlenz B. Lemus, Grand Presi- dent of Organization here Feb- ruary 1st. Local No. 6 has 600 members, is in beautiful financial state, has base at Washington and comprises in its membership the Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard and Southern Railway Companies. It is one of the locals of the dining room of the brotherhood, whose territory covers the eastern and southeastern regions, ranging from Boston to New Orleans and Jacksonville to Cincinnati, with a total membership of 3,000 on 14 Before proceeding to the installation exercises, Mr. Lemus cited the facts that a brotherhood dishwasher on dining cars now gets more money than a pre-war chef-cook; that prior to organization, employees had no day in court when accused, when local relevance committee brings about restoration of some unjustly disciplined brother or secures adjustment of dispute due to improper computation of overtime, or passes it on to the Grand Council, which ultimately achieves the desired result. Until 1924 there was no such thing as an 8-hour-day and overtime compensation for the brotherhood acquired from the Railroad Administration and predicated on contracts negotiated individually on nine rail lines. In proof of the oft repeated axiom — in union there's strength. Mr. Lemus told of how the Seaboard men saved their wage increases and overtime in 1821 through brotherhood and representation while the men of the Coast Line lost theirs by their failure to remain unionized — only to get them back two years later when they had rejoined the organization. Among the recent achievements are 4 per cent commission on all made by waiters in coaches of Pennsylvania trains; effecting of standard cooks' rates of pay on New York Central, New York, New Haven and Hartford and Boston and Albany Railroads (1828), as assigned by Agreee, Pennsylvania Railroad in 1921, and abolishment of rest-periods — serving without pay while enroute — on the Southern. 6 Tf. to come 16 Tf. to general for the enquiring year are: T.

A consumptious repast was served. Among invited guests and speakers were: Robert J. N. Johnson, general manager; Rohlington Emile H. Jones, alliance bureau; Harriet H. Jones, office of deeds, D. C. SCHOOLS Board Members At Capital WASHINGTON—Following an informal hearing with the District Commissioners Tuesday, Rev. R. E. H. McCormick, the school Board and white members of the school Board and Dr. Frank Ballou, superintendent of schools, urged them to act upon their concerns and take action to inform the public system. The most important bill would give the school board authority to teach, supervise, and pay for all educational employed for educational improvement, rest and travel for a period not exceeding one year, and measures would exempt all school employees from the $2,000 salary limitation provision of the legislative, executive and judicial appointees of 1916. The third proposed to amend the public school organic act to allow the level of liability the school board of educational liability for acts of that body. The fourth deals with the furnishing of educational supplies free of charge to pupils of the junior and senior high schools. MINER NORMAL SCHOOL WASHINGTON—Under the direction of the direction of J. Arthur Turner, the reorganization of classes at Minner Malone school became effective May 14. Minner Malone school was made on Tuesday for Tuesday were made at this time.

S BILL MORE S. C. BARBERS Continued from Page One years have women taken to clipping their flowing locks. The time has come when, if women do not exercise discretion, their locks of faithfulness as admirers of true womanhood, should put restrictions up to protect women. I don't believe a Negro barber has a right to cut the hair of a white woman, though I am a friend of the Neu- Does Not Ban Shoe Shine "Does this bill," inquired Senator D. A. Splyvey, of Hory, "regulate bootblacks? Does it prohibit a Negro bootblack from shining the shoes of a white woman or white girl." The bill does not prohibit Negroes from shining the shoes of white women", Senator Martin replied. "Well, it does seem to me that that is more dangerous a business man than the, the Horry senator remarked. Imprisonment And Fine Imprisonment And Fine The measure classified Fine shops where white persons are barbers and only white persons served; Class 2. shops where white and Negro barbers are employed only white persons and white girls to be walked on by white barbers; Class 3. shops where Negroes only are barbers and where only white barbers are shops where only Negroes are barbers and where only Negroes are served. Violators of the terms of the bill would be subject to a fine of not more than $100 or imprisonment of not more than $100, or both. Papers Pose Measure Both of the Columbia Daily papers, The State and The Daily Record, oppose the measure. In a shaking editorial, captioned "Pooling With High Explosives." The p- in Group State, among other things has the following to say: "Have those members of the general assembly, who would have Negro barbers prohibited from cutting the hair of white women, ever heard the word 'is well' in speaking does it." "In this state our industries are employing whites by the thousands, from which Negroes are excluded. This exclusion is effected with the assistance of statutes. Would members of the general assembly be able to these conditions be enacted? Do they the Negro associations of northern states, backed by the wealth of the northern white men, to resort to the federal courts? "Why monkey with the federal constitution, when the occasion is not urgent and when no emergency occurs? "Tinkering with the question of the Negro in industry might cause discussion that would end in upheaval. Trouble that the barber's bill, if passed, might set on foot would begin in the north and come around. "Who wants disturbance? Kindling a little fire is one thing, and putting it out another".

Dr. Liberia and now president of the trustee board said there has long been a conspiracy at Wilberforce to get Supt. Richard Bunday, who has established an "airtight business system", for expending the nearly $200,000 annually appropriated by the state for the normal department. 3. A white contractor, Serra, testified that he paid him $1,900 on a $2,500 bill and when asked for the balance said that "he, Bundy, wasn't in business, for his health." State Funds Not Miscused 4. Dr. Johnson denied the books and magazines intended for the children's home, that the furniture now in the Bundy home was purchased illegally, that the trip of Mr. Bundy through the East in an automobile belonging to the state was for purely social purposes, but was an effort to secure new members of the faculty, that the average cost of dinners for the Trustee Board was over sixty dollars, that Supt. Bundy bought a $333.75 radio set out of state and then put it in the house without it, that coal was delivered to Board members' homes, that he (Dr. Johnson) rode through on state gasoline, that he had ever carted meat away from the state farm. Proof Business Method 5. State Examiner Brown's findings were put in 70 pages. He says: "The manner in which Bundy handled a plumbing job showed poor management and poor business methods. The state is out for a bill against Plumbing twice, it looks like an 'argument to decryle." Board Backs The Board met Monday and passed a resolution assuring Bundy of their confidence and import of his splenic management. Brussels's Statement Brusseaux's Statement Sheridan Brusseaux of the detective agency, said, "We generally inefficiency in the school, but we believe that the trustees first, and the alumni second, are responsible for most of this. Neither trustees or alumni are sufficiently active, financially and morally, in the interests of the school. They don't give anything. The stand off and matters go as they go, and something special happens. Then they tell us. Our investigation shows that they have a direct responsibility in the matter." TEXAS LYNCHES WILLIS, TEXAS. — More mob violence flared up again in Texas, Wednesday, when Tom Payne, 25, was taken from two officers by an unmasked mob of 40 white men and hanged to a roadside fence. An investigation by Sheriff Hicks, failed to identify any of the members of the mob, although of them are said to have been masked. Payne, who had been arrested in connection with cutting and robbing a white saw mill worker, was being taken to Hunsville for safekeeping, when the lynching occurred. The unusual angle of the case is that Rogers' wife is under arrest on a charge of assault to murder. Carlisle Vs.

This is the word which comes from Mayor Jackson and City Solicitor Wallace. The letter is preparing the measure. Mayor especially is enthusiastic about that part of the loan which sets apart a certain sum for colored schools. "It's my program," he told the AFRO, "and I'm sure it will go through." Public Improvement Commission is not to administer this new loan. The school board is to pick the sites. A commission will select the architect whose plans and specifications must be approved by the school board. The architect and building inspector are to build the schools subject to the approval of the board. The setting inside of a certain amount in the loan for colored schools must be approved by Parent Teachers' Clubs, Mrs. Lutra Wheatley, president. The Public School Commissioner, Mrs. Marie Rauenschmidt, secretary, and the School Board. The board is giving a stipulation of this amount might lead some voters to oppose the loan was overridden by the views of those who think that if the city is not willing to give decent schools this fact has been known, the earlier civic organizations can start a campaign of education.

Break all dates to KEEP THIS ONE You'll never forget or regret it! BY GEORGE D. TYLER Dancer And Gentry According to a story released by the Associated Negro Bress, James Gentry, a theatrical writer of the Light and Hebee Jeebe who is known, because of his gentility and kindness, as "Gentle Jimmy," was a "light" by two bricks harried by unseen hands less than four hours after he had sworn at and threatened by Earl Baner, husband and manager of Ethel Waters. As a cattle, we believe Gentry had a perfect right to express his opinion of R.H.S. show. We have been saying to uplift the profession and at the same time are deceiving the public. Because Gentry said the show was unclean and vulgar is no reason that he should be attacked. Is the December 11th, issue of the AFRICAMERICAN, appeared a very under the caption "Critic Condemns Ethel Water's Show." The article was by R.J. Mclaughlin, white, theorist reviewer of the Detroit News and read as follows: A certain quality in "Miss Calice," R.H. Water's newest review, reaches its culmination when Miss Waters says a song that is so unspeakably Rotten that you can't believe your eyes. Following the publishing of this article, not a missile was thrown. The performers, in general, do course, there are exceptions to the rules. They are not knocking the performers. They seem to think the writers are aiming only to knock the performers, not really see and know that the writers are aiming to all them in every possible way without running amuck on the public. Personally, they don't want any bait, they don't want any mindmind, they don't want any few tomatoes, but even those must be served without the can. "Crazy Blues." A few years ago Mamie Smith popularized the song "The Crazy Glues and the Holy Trinity Baptist church, Brooklyn, N.Y., decided to take that very same title for his subject on last Sunday. We are not even claiming that there are songs used today that are unit for public presentation and would make wonderful subjects for some man-made works, but with suggestive and indecent songs and there seems no possible way to check them. One of the latest to be created by a prominent record company and is sung by Miss Waters. "My Special Friends' Back In Town" "I'll be busy after eight" With a special heavy hair With my special friend that's back Can't you guess what's on my mind? If you don't see no light If you don't see no light Don't ring my bell tonight. Cause my special friend is back in town. This portion of this song is suggestive and borders so heavily on the edge of indecency that better thinking people and music lovers of the higher and intelligent classes create this number on their shelves. In the songs of today the preachers will be able to find plenty of material that is much of good, delivered. Call Vernon 6016 Monty Hawley Says Monty Hawley, character man whoseown sown Models once served with Navy. He navy years after leaving the Chicago University. Hawley was with Sousa's band in the Great Lakes Station as Drum- er. He served three years sea duty and two years in the army. Monty was offered a chance by the Lafayette Players, which he had. In 1923 he went to New York to make motion pictures and was cast in "Under The Red Role" with Robert Mantell and Alma Wilson in "Runnin' Wild" was given in part with a white stock company, but gave it up to accept the straight role in Miller and Lyles in "Runnin' Wild" with Ivinc C. Miller, who is taking a keen interest in him and has been promising him to manage one of his shows. Monty says, "My greatest ambition is to see the T. O. B. A. owned and controlled by colored people. It is not an impossibility but just a matter of a few of our people being up and getting into action." "Then too, the colored motion pops up, and people grab hands to be affiliated with the unions," lawlippy contends, "and would make better wages for laborers and producers, getting good service from experienced stage hands. As conditions are now, in 8 out of 10 shows, the audience when the show leaves a theatre, the unexperienced balm around the theatre houses props or other items "ruined them." Guy Gibson Says Miss Gibson, member of the "Models" chorus is rather shy and demure when cornered back stage and about her, however, that rates him high above the chorus girl, for she sings, whistles and plays the ukulele, besides dancing. For five weeks actual stage experience, but her ability and the showing she makes, equals that of many seasoned trouppers. Back stage before she performs, she Gay who tunes it, for Andy Razaf. Then too, this demure Miss is then too, this demure Miss that and modestly admits that it is a gift, as she has never had a lesson. SIDNEY EASTON The life of Sidney Easton has been as colorful as any one of the absorbingly human stories of the 1950s. He was a child who refused to grow old, embodies in many respects the old traditions of the stage. Easton says with a flourish of his voice he is a sort of Dream. The people expect an actor to be part of a pleasant piece of scenery, he is always supposed to be well-to-do and he will fill the public's dream ideal. But we are just folks." Mr. Easton tells us that he began his work when he born and lived until he became sixteen. Despite the fact that he lived in the south Easton knew but little of color prejudice because his parents were born in some wealthy Northern whites. As a sad Sid had worked in the Savannah Theater, which is the oldest theater in America, and held a callboy to stage manager in 1907 Easton started on the road, and since has played on Mutual, Columbia, T.

Berry Brothers At Club Alabama The Berry Brothers are being billed in vaudeville as the "Mini-Theater," and the boys are said to be the best juvenile team ever seen in New York. The boys were featured in the Chicago Theater, which played the Lafayette Theater, New York, last week. The theater broke all previous records during their engagement. The brothers who hail from Los Angeles, have a long contract with the Lafayette Theater, the Lafayette appearance, the have had several offers to tour with road shows, as well as an offer from the theater, which they were unable to accept.

A. Jack Thomas Ill In The Realm Of Music --- Miss Annie Brown and Lucy Mason were the guests of the APFO Employee's Saturday Club where they presented selections that were beyond the average of juvenile singers. Miss Brown, daughter of Dr. Harry Brown is a colorful sequoia, and she is a class of singers, but far above the average money paid concert artists. Her melting of Victory Herbert's "Kiss Me Again" was vibrant and lively. The girl has great possibilities and with proper training and a little encouragement, will ripen into one of the most popular songbirds that died from the "Monumental City." Miss Mason, her accompanist, also very youthful, has an artistic touch and magnificent execution. She is a little soft and encourages On Monday morning between 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. it is possible to witness the orchestra rehearsal to that the musical director of the company or some one well versed in music gathers to make the house music as it is acquainted with the music access.

While looking over one of these three members impressively impressed with the manner in which Prof. Isaiah Thompson at the Royal refused to allow the orchestra to play until the show members had finished which one was correct as to the proper time wanted. Three members of the company stood upon the stage, each giving his and her imprecision to one of the three had the same BALTIMORE In The Theatre time. When the performers had decided who had the right time, time, Prot. Thompson proceeded with the rehearsal.

GENERAL Johnson and Gordon --- This Harlem By Pearle M. Fisher "In Abraham's Bosom," Is Stark Tragedy. Nevertheless it is a Beautiful play. It is an event in the annals of the New American Drama. Quite the most interesting dramatic event for Barcumbies this month was the production of "In Abraham's Bosom" with a practically all-colored cast at the Providence Theater. The announcement that the cost would include Julius Blesse Rose, McCleland, and Aubie Mitchell was announced on the evening of all play lovers, and those who have witnessed the performance have been loud in comment on the merits of the play. A favored performer, less experienced during the holidays, and in addition to individual patrons from Hiram at every performance, there are other performers under the auspices of "Opportunity" followed by an informal celebration at the Keiss Studio — a few blocks away. "Count Boy," "Lonesome Road" you already know what to expect of Paul Green, their author. You will probably remember that. In Abraham, the play is told by "The Lonesome Road," and that the volume is dedicated to Abraham McCrane, about whose life the first play is woven. The reading of the play (a one-act play as it occurs in "The Lonesome Road") left me with a feeling of incompetence and a sense of futility. I was therefore in the longer version as presented at the Provincetown Playhouse. To. Provincetown If you have never been to the Provincetown Playhouse, you will very probably lose your way the day you go down in the Village below Washington Square in that part of little Old New York that still has little streetlights. You will have to step into MacDougal street and stop before what appears to have been at one time a stable, before which hangs a sign indicating that this is the place where you inside you go down the one central nise behind the girl usher, and take your place on a plain wood bench beside other persons who are sitting in the theatre. You have time to note the severe simplicity, the absolute lack of anything ornate, the utter sincerity of it all before the curtains. The Play The play is in seven scenes, the first being practically identical with the one-action play in "The Lonesome Boy" of William Shakespeare, the title of Abraham McCranane, a powerful Negro employed by Colonel John Abraham, son of Abraham, is a "h id" on the Colonel's turpentine plantation. Abraham's ambition to rise above his surroundings by study brings him to the plantation, the loyal devotion of Goldie McAllister, whom he later marries, and the loyal devotion of McCranane, the Colonel's white son. Lonnie's hatred resulted in the Colonel administering a beating to Abraham, and the Colonel, the Colonel's white son, Lonnie's hatred resulted in the Colonel administering a beating to Abraham. Also knew himself to be the physical superior of his white father. Devotion To Ideals Abe's passionate devotion to his ideals, and his pathetic attempts to realize them through his son, carry him through years of poverty and hardship, understanding and bitter frustration. At last, deserted by all except his faithful Goldie, cruelly disappointed in the son whom he had consecrated as his beloved daughter, clinging to the things dear to his heart; he still believes that he can convince others that there is a way out for his people—a way to escape the supernatural and hatreds that thrive on ignorance. With a last high hope in his heart he goes必先 only to fail a victim he crushes before him to crush. Forlorn and beaten before man and God, writening with the pain of the dastardly onslaught made upon him at the instigation of Abraham, he only haven't known the only haven he knows — Golde. The climax is stupendous. Fate presses him to push him up, push and Abraham, umble to hear another straw, turn upon the man whose taints had seared his soul. With his bare hands, supreme at ease, Abraham helpless Lonnie like a leaf. The conclusion is inevitable, but even here Abraham goes forth to meet him with a cry of freedom on his limb. Stark Tragedy It is all stark tragedy. Nevertheless it a beautiful play, not in spite of the fact that it deals with heart-breaking things, but literally because of this fact. Paul Green has written tragedy, but it is neither sentimental, nor pessimistic, nor cynical. It is tragedy sympathetically and reverently treated and the result is artistically satisfying. Jullus Bledsoe Jullus Bledsoe as Abraham McCranle, Rose McClendon as Goldie McAllister, both of whom will be remembered for their excellent work in "Deep River", and Apple Mitchell as Muh Mack, all do splendid work in the major roles. Miss Mitchell leaves an unforgettable Muh Mack in the memory, and to my mind, does the most finished acting in the play. All the parts are cast with extraordinary skill and every member of the company does excellent work. L. Rufus Hill as Col. McCranle, was especially good. So enthusiastic has been the reception of the play that, I am told, it is to be moved uptown to one of the larger and more conveniently located houses where it will have the added advantages of a larger stage and new sets. It is indeed, a true statement, that the production of "In Abraham's Bosum" is an event in the annals of New American drama. No Movies For Brookline BROOKLINE, MASS. FEB.

Warrants were issued against Eddie Johnson, Annie Maule Cox, Kerrieudd and Battle Snow, charging them with contributing to the moral felicitation of a minor, while the warrant against Luclie Bundy charged her with being a minor. She was wrongly accused of criminal acts and other things had been stolen and sold to various persons, including members of the Hippoprome troupe. Lloyd Patterson, Herman Grans and Waverley Jordan were booked under similar charges. There has been no proof submitted to the court that any of the company are guilty of the charges, and all of them are protesting against the execution of Lloide, who it is claimed made several admissions and charges. Listed among the "hot goods" obtained by the actors from the child were fountain pens, cigarette holders, scarf skates, wash rags and shields.

Whitemarsh refused to pay the boys their money at that time, but promised to pay it on Monday. This proved unsatisfactory to the boys who felt as if they were due to receive the money at the time the police took place. Claiming that one of the boys was unusually disorderly, Whitemarsh had him hung into the Northern Western Police Court. On Sunday morning the entire band appeared at witnesses and exhorted the Magistrate that all the trouble came when Whitemarsh refused to pay off. Columbia Re MI OTTOM THUR A tale of desperate lives in the alleys back of East India Dock. The season's most breathtaking crook story. The story of a dog trained to crime in London's Chinatown. Rin-Tin-Tin, the "dog wonder of the screen," as the dog of a master-criminal; torn between love for his evil master and his devotion to a lovely girl who has befriended him; Rinty in his most thrilling and ambitious role; the famous canine star in a breath-taking fight with the monster, half-man, half-beast . . . Don't miss "WHILE LONDO N SLEEPS" Half-man, half-beast, the huge monster carried the beautiful girl through the branches of great trees; leaping from tree-top to tree-top with his burden of loveliness; as she fainted in terror of the evil face that leered into hers. Then the \dog, like a streak of lightning, after the ape-man and his mistress; fighting and biting to save the girl who had befriended him. REVIEWS accept and practice the eleventh commandment. This commandment is "The Yourself." You know, and are not ashamed to admit to themselves, that they are playing to their betters when they play to southern white audiences. They strive to please. Watch an average white woman play in Atlanta. The performers, almost down to the last $15 a week, seem to feel that they are playing to the flat-heads, to the come-ons, to people who want to be in an inferiorly complex peculiar to second-raters off the stage as well as on it. Then watch a Negro performance at $1 and sense the difference. The staging and sounding was well and while of course it was "loud." It was entirely in harmony with the type of show. WEEK BEG.

Shipped Postal Anywhere in the Country WARM CONTEST FOR C'UNCILMAN IN PRIMARIES City Organization May Decide On Final Slate Next Tuesday Night REPUBLICAN CLUB ENDORSES EMERSON Calloway Wants Candidates To Agree On Two Nomi- Two developments, which politicians regard as a certainty, emerged from the under current of politics in Baltimore this week, and they were, that the fight for councilman in the 4th District will be the hottest contest ever held here and that the regular Republican ticket would be composed of two colored and one white men. At this writing it seems likely that all six candidates will go into the primary with the full intention of winning out, in the light. Marse Callaway Although all of the candidates express their willingness to abide by the will of the voters, in their nomination, the only one whose element indicates a willingness to move the light is Marse S. S. who made a statement to the AFRO-AMERICAN this week. After careful consideration of the scramble, which is an abolition of the system, we are aspiring for councilmen of our district, ought to think of the people first, that we ought to elect a council behind two candidates with a united force and effort and get them elected. We have been defended as groups in the Senate, and we have never able to unite our forces. We are entitled to representation in the Council, and we can get it if we can. I am willing to sacrifice my own personal ambition in order that the people might be represented in this district by meeting with the candidates and deciding on what two will be elected. Emerson Endorsed In a meeting last Friday evening for the M. Y. C. A. the Fourteenth Ward Republican Club endorsed the candidacy of Walter Emerson, the incumbent that most primary campaigns have no issues, but simply candidates. This primary will have an outstanding position in the race of proper race representation, he said. The time has come when we will no longer be assisted with just what Mr. Charles Purne Mukes Demands. At this meeting, J. Howard Bryne, also a candidate for the groundmine light, demanded that he make the fight for Council Purne protested the endorsement on the ground that an endorsement by those present did not represent the membership of over one hundred and that there were twenty judges and clocks of election present and that an endorsement by these members of over one hundred and that there were Emerson's appointees, would not show the sentiment of the Fourteenth Ward Club. "If Emerson is fair," he said, "the stop outside and see even his own appointees vote." Following this statement, Emergen rejoined by stating that he would fulfill his duty as ward executive and that he would not step down because Payne said so. The meeting was then addressed by Marvin R. Eckford of the Y. M. C. A. on Y. M. C. A. work. Sentiment Crystallizing While sentiment seems to have resisted into the opinion that the ticket should be composed of two bored and one white men and six men into the primary fight, there is a danger of so dividing the vote as to allow two or more white men to walk away with the Republican authoritative sources down town that the Republican organization, especially as represented in the city committee, presided over by Charlton Hammond, has two bored and one white candidate for the primary fight. It is freely predicted that the city committee will endorse such a ticket at its meeting next week as executives will meet for this purpose: Charles W. Main, Paul E. Zimmerman, Walter Emerson, Thomas E. B. Hall, Chas. Kubler, John H. McGee, John Adelaide, etc. Although it is believed that the personnel of the candidates were discussed in the meeting of the executives last Tuesday for the primary fight, it would give up that occurred. 17th Card In the Fourteenth and Seventh Wards, however, much talk is being done. There is considerable speculation about the candidates Badger and Drs. Adelia Greene will take as the candidates. Anything might happen, it is said, when the two candidates, who still say they are in the field to win, are Walter S. Simerson, Marse S. Callaway, Dr. James White, Warner T. McCormick, White, Fitzgerald and Howard Payne. Jail Two D. C. Girls As Shoplifters Picked up in by Elsberg Store devises with several articles of women's wearing upright posies, and by Mary Brown, 23, and Louise Raunle, 27, Washington, D. . . were sentenced to one year each to the Baltimore City Jail, when she was incarcerated in Criminal Court. Tuesday The Raunle girl declared that she was not familiar with Baltimore and as invited to accompany her com-munication on a shopping tour. The girl was stolen she declared.

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

The Medical School building now in course of construction and is well known in Baltimore for his work in connection with the Old Fellow's Hospital of Lanvale and McCullob streets. At the same time it was announced that the legal transfer of the Provident Division Street property to the Old Fellow's hospital has been completed. The old Victory Corporation was consolidated with the Provident corporation and the property was then transferred to the Union Memorial Hospital authorities. Repairs are scheduled to begin as soon as Mr. Cassell can get his plans in proper shape. It was also agreed that there should be a staff of visiting physi- sicians. The department demands of the local physicians that the local institution be open instead of closed. Cornell University designed Howard University building costing over $1- 250,000.

Lang Hughes' Newest Book Of "Blues" Jazz, Blues Spirituals In Latest Volume of Lincoln University Poet, Author of The "Weary Blues" If you're a stranger to jazz and an enemy of realism as it applies to sex, you'll not like Langston Hurghes' new book of poems. The author of the "Niger Blue" comeback book by lovers this month with "Fine Clothes to the Jew," dedicated to Carl Van Vechten, author of "Nigger Heaven," and published by Alfred K. Knopf, Inc. New York, price $400 net. A number of new poems in addition to those published in current magazines of 1926, including "Poetry," "Vanity Fair," "The Crisis," "The Messenger," "New Republic," "Fire," and the New York Herald Tribune. The blues, jazz and spirituals tumble over each other in Mr. Hurghes' new book. Here's an spiritual: I been stinkin' low down, mean. Fire. Fire, Lord! Fire gonna burn ma soul! I been stealin' Been tellin' lies. Ind more women... Than Pharoah had wives. Fire. Fire, Lord! Fire gonna burn ma soul I means Fire, Lord. Fire gonna burn ma soul. "Hard Luck" "Hard Luck" is the title of the poem which gives the volume its name. —"Fine Clothes to the Jew" Note the "poetic pattern" of the following stanza which as Mr. Hughes remarks, contains a long line repeated and a third line to rhyme with the first two. —"When hard luck overtakes you When hard luck overtakes you When hard luck overtakes you Gather up so' line clothes All sell 'em to the Jew. "Gin Marry" Then there's the "Bailad of Gin Mary." Old judge says you're a drunkard Fact is you worries me Gwine give you eighteen months So licker! let you be. "Porter Here's a bit of introspection dedicated to the porter, pointe always continues to whom life is just one big mountain of "yes, yes." Climbing up a great big mountain Of yes, sir. "Black Girl" Here's one to the black working girl who dresses her man, but can't keep him and imagines he prefers girls of lighter hue. I dressed up Albert Johnson I bought him suits of clothes As soon as he got out de barrel Then out ma door he goes. "The Lynchers" Another dark girl whose love was lynched by hanging to the cross roads tree is made to say: Way down south in Dixe Brussel body high in air, I asked the Lord Jesus What was the use of prayer. "Love" It's real is to Langston Hughes It's something that's always ac companied by jazz or blues or liquors, and is creat ed objectiv as anything in life. Here's the "Young Gal's Blues" When love is gone what Can a young gal do? When love is gone, O what can a young gal do? Can you alow daddy Cause I don't want to be blue. Realism A cover note to the volume recites that "these poems interpret the more primitive types of the American Negro, the bell boys, the cabaret girls, the immigratory workers, the singers of Blues and spirituals. Mr. Hughes expresses the joy and pathos, beauty and gulliness of their lives." He was born in Joplin, Mo. in 1902, has traveled as a sailor in America, Europe and Africa and won Opportunity Poetry contest last year. He is now enrolled as a student at Lincoln University. POEM A WEEK A Tribute from Julia Ward Howe This poem was recited by the author of the book *The Painted Heart* (republic of Lincoln's birthday anniversary in 1899, when she herself was in her 90th year. Through the dim pageant of the years A wondrous tracery appears; A cabin in the Western wild Shelters in sleep a new-born child. Nor nurse, nor parent dear can know How to care for her child; And yet a nation's hope and hope. Are sealed within that horoscope. Beyond is toll for daily bread, And through to noble issues led, And through to noble sorrow. For whose behest this man was born. A man of honesty, rustic ways, Yet he achieved the forum's praise; And soon earth's highest meed was The seat and sway of Washington. No throne of honors and delights, Distrustful days and sleepiness nights To struggle, suffer and aspire, To be a warrior and fire. A tracherous shot, a sob of rest, A martyr's palm upon his breast; A welcome from the glorious seat Where blameless souls of heroes. And thrilling through unseen, days A cry that all the earth shall heed. To God who gave him for our need. — Julia Ward Howe, (1519-1540) How To Be Happy Though Married Maritalistic happiness consists of preening you don't know what the other half is doing. Men and Women If interested, send stamp to NATIONAL SERVICE BUREAU Pontiac, Michigan By LILIAN LOTTIER Mr. Van Vechten's Each of us have at least two selves—every single, solitary one of us. The self we really are on the inside, and the self we seem to be on the outside. I have seen another classification of these selves of ours—a very interesting one, too. It saddles us poor mortals with three selves. The self we really are, the self others we are, the self think others think we are. There are intriguing possibilities in this classification, aren't there? However, for our purpose, two selves will do—especially since most of us can't handle even one of them any too successfully. Now, these two selves sometimes differ astonishingly. In fact, if no one are they identical. In fact, we experience a gap that we wonder how they can possibly belong to one and the same person. The difference varies from being really involuntary and unintentional to being deliberately planned and shrewdly cultivated to tell the truth, with some it is a matter of pure policy. It is quite different from the outside different from the self on the inside. It just wouldn't do to let folks know them as they are. You hear about the "protective coloration" of nature. Well, this is the "deceptive coloration" of human nature. However, and this is true of all of us, the cannot always hide the self on the inside. It the real self, you know, and like Truth, it sometimes just will "up and out". Sometimes its a big occasion which betrays us, and then again we tell on ourselves in little, unsuspected words. A word here, an action there, an expression of opinion at some other time, and in others, do we unconsciously reveal these inside series of ours. I have been particularly interested in the reaction of Van Vetchen's "Nigger Heaven." Also, I have been at times secretly mused of course you already know of the man—our own Harlem. In this book there are vivid descriptions of cabaret life, and of the jungle passion of the underworld of sex. But that isn't all. There is also the sympathetic and skillful detachment of several very nice characters. The author knows more of Nerra life than the dive and the den.

During this cries he, it dwells intimately on certain phases of prison life rarely if ever, disclosed to the public. No Freedom But Instead Roadwork it might be appropriate to explain the method in vogue. on a Friday night some months after I had telegram was received by the War Department to Lansing at once. I was several hundred miles from there and getting in communication by wire they were instructed that it was unnecessary to send an officer with me. This again to one freedom and I left it to myself. I had no money or business but an excellent contract with the Pittsburgh Courier people and felt I would have no trouble in making good. Arriving at Lansing however I was told that the police were as clerk to the Superintendent of a road Camp that he had just created. Up to this period no prisoners had been employed on the roads and Michigan was tightly behind them in the matter of road improvements. This was the first camp established as an experiment and due to my knowledge and experience of prison conditions and men together with my ability to take charge of and manage the prison in conjunction with the camp's Governor felt I would be a good assistant to Mr. Arnold, the road superintendent, which I afterwards became, Secretary and Assistant. As this camp was but the beginning of what has since proved to be a successful system of road-building by prisoners undertaken anywhere in the country. Home Education My little son, who is in his third year at school, usually brings an account of the day's openings as soon as he bursts open the door on his bed in this as I like to have him confide in me and hope to retain this confidence as the years pass. I am never too busy or too tired to be interested, and by questioning, I am not sure if I relate to an incident in which he himself is involved. So far, I have reason to believe that he has always given me an accurate account of events even if he himself is somewhat discredited by the wrong I do not scold or punish but say to him, "Do you think you were in the right about that?" or "Couldn't you have avolied the trouble?" During his first year at school, he came running in one afternoon with the eager exclamation, "Say, Mom. With James he today for some of the tricks he played on me!" Questioned, he explained, "Well, he'd he said give me a piece of candy for a piece of my cake, and I didn't say anything but just took the candy when he held it out to me, and then I laughed and told him my cake was all gone." But, the boy said, "that was fair play." I said, "He protested that James had treated him in the same way a number of times, but I finally persuaded him that he must play fair regardless of the behavior of others, and I put an extra piece of cake in his lunch box the next day to be given to James." I grew a little sad of the things he tells me to do when concern him directly, but they give me an insight into the characters of his little playmates so that I can more easily help him choose his friends wisely. He is, in his childish way, learning to distinguish between characteristics that matter and those that do not. He was very much disturbed by what he heard that a little girl whom he admired much was cheating in school. I myself had already discovered that the He shows the pitiful tragedy of our struggle against. prejudice within and without. He pictures with unexpected understanding the challenges we threaten to swamp and overwhelm us. He even holds up for renewed appreciation some of our own race who would receive more honor from us. What is the strongest impression you carry away from reading "Nigger Heaven," what interests you most, and I shall have a pretty fair idea of that inside self of yours, which appealed to me. What sensuallity? Which will you remember longest—splendid Mary Love or the notorious Lascar? Were you heart-broken over the story of Mary's tragic love, or secretly thrilled over the voluptuous By actual count a little over one-third of the pages of this much-discussed book deals with the sordid and sensual. And remember, it is a realistic novel, which should lead you to expect the laid portrayal of much of the modern society certainly isn't the pleasantest thing on earth. Judged by this standard, "Nigger Heaven" isn't the worst book of its kind. Of course, many of us don't like realistic novels, and those who don't are quite, within the book because of its classification is not the same thing as condemning it for its object matter. When you come down to fine points we don't like this book because there is entirely too much truth in it—ugly disgusting truth. And there again is where we read, because the way we read to truth, however, unpleasant and unwelcome. One can hate the name of this book, but one should hate more the fact that we ourselves use constantly the very word we object to, however gibby we explain it to, however anything and the white man does. One can be revolted by the sensuality, but one should be more revolted by the knowledge that just that sort of thing exists among us in large measure, from the lowest class right on up to the highest. Instead of bothering to criticize Van Petten, who certainly can't care very much what we say, we should look ourselves squarely in the face, admit the ugly truth of what we see, and then try to make the selves we really are more like us. We want others to think we are. IN THAT WAY ONLY TRUE PROGRESS LIES. Prison Walls INSIDER reserved exclusively by the author.)

During this a certain phases of prison life rarely diety it might be appropriate to explain the method in vogue. It was the governor's desire to take the men out of the study sweat-shops inside the prison and place them in some beneficial fresh air and work and road-building proved the result. At the same time he did pay Michigan to become one of those states where the men worked the roads were, but slaves to some contractor where brutalities and extortion existed. With this in view he organized model camps placing each under the charge of experienced humanitarian with a physician at each camp. A team was installed and plenty of the best wholesome food was provided under the experienced care of a competent chef and steward. The very latest machinery was secured and installed thereby keep each camp free from the cruel indulgence from the cruel prisoners we were using and at the same time providing a finished complete job under the guidance of skilled expert engineers that was possible to obtain. In addition the men were paid a dollar and a quarter a day thus giving each man who was sent the end of his prison term an opportunity of earning and saving a few hundred dollars towards the day when freedom should come.

I certainly do not want him to be a talebearer, but how proud I shall be in the years to come he can always come to me unhesitatingly to discuss with me the problems of his daily life.

It might have been that some wicked printers, jolous of the pupil, the black creature there to mar their perfect happiness. Be that as it might, the fact was that the goblin was there and there to stay, given a large stationery store. The valentine was printed soon after Christmas and was mailed early to a large stationery store. When the shopkeeper the beautiful girl, the cover message the joyous exclaimed, "Ah there is just the valentine for my window. The did not turn over to the back so, never saw the black goblin hiding there, nor man who bought it for his sweetheart. T/though the mail the valentine prepared to a young lady's hand on her shoulder, the girl finally "see my valentine!" she exclaimed "What a pretty lady and good man!" her little sister cried. "Give it to me that I can have them for my super deluxe." "And destroy my message? Never!" replied her older sister. "I will kill him, kill him!" "I wouldn't cry, sir," comforted her male twin. "Look on the other side, see the ugly man. I wouldn't want it." "You girl turned the paper over and sure enough there was the hideous goblin. "I cried its owner, in dismay. With these works she lay the valentine on the table amid many other letters and cards, where it lay forgotten until midnight. With twelve, wonder of wonders, a little fairy all in red danced into the room. Waving a golden wand, she gaily sang this song: "Am I the spit of Valentine day." I give to love and peace full sway. Awake, my folk, 'tis dead of night: Awake and make the room full bright. For when the shades of dawn do greep. I wave all paper folk back to How changed the room was! All the paper cottages on valentines and cards stood like real houses; the trees and bushes were tall and bare; breezees and all the gracious quirky figures danced minutes and promo-ended on green hawks.

One bawled "looking as a faint grey light stole into the eastern sky, the sprite returned and, true to her word, wassed all the valentine folk back to nausea. One bawled "looking for his lost lady; but what could he do. He was only paper now. The twins, in their daily exploration of the waste-basket, were delighted to find out the sister's valentine in the waste-basket and the other half on the table. "Now, I can have for paper dolls" the little girl cried in delight as the basket clutching the of the valentine. "Did you look on the table, sis? You wouldn't want that old goblin among us," she said. "The little girl followed the suggestion, but failed to find any trace of the goblin. She he is in that trash," she little boy said, as he reached into the basket again. "Ah! here's the bibleous creature," he shouted as he crumpled the paper goblin in his hand. "The little girl cared for our our great gentleman, and the gracious gentleman who was still bowing on a half valentine to an empty cottage door. Placing them side by side, she was entertaining. "Somebody tote your funny old valentine," she pleaded to an unheeding sister. "But the lady and gentleman look out, May I?" I cut them out to keep May.

A pleasant St. Valentine Day, boy and girls! As we give the age-old greetings I wonder how many of you think of the meaning of the holiday. There are many opinions on the origin of the celebration, but I think he may appreciate the one I think there lived in Rome in the days of the Christian era. Valentine believed in Christ and who in spite of the threatenment, was not afraid to speak his belief anything the porer Claudius, who ruled the kingdom, a pagan and based the follo­ding on the board of works of Valentine he had thrown into chains, over to a guard. Asterius, to back to the pagan faith. Now'Asterius had one daughter whom he loved dearest. When Valentinus proposed beaten by Christian faith, doubling up with the proposed. Valentinus accomplished the task as brought the household of Asterius to belief, but after long impairment was beaten with a knife beheaded on February 14th. Then later when all of Rome was Christianized 'Aetna Sanctuary' was passed which set that day as England's most famous as goddess. The observation in nine makes on lighter aspects. In England, the custom was to put the names of youths and males in a box, and draw them in a basket. The names more drawn to other holy exchange presents can be other's valentines throughout its ensuing year. Thus, a charming custom comes down to us, and I have this week to devote our little tion to its celebration. The new cover puzzle drawing was made by the same poet-artist of whom I spoke last week The Twilight Tale gave way to valentine story. Our section in the issue of 25 week after next will be devoted to Men of the Month! This group such houses as Gene Washington, Abraham Lincoln, own Flooded Island, will display stories of these men submitted to you. How many will you sleep under our great moss? Remember that material for this house must留 office not later than Tuesday February 15th. Now I must close because I will want to propose your Sake that greetings to send to your mini friends.

Dear Naila: First there comes to mind Tradeleh Williams, very demure in a period costume which made one feel that she had stepped out of a Wallace Natting picture. Beneath the epitome, affinity done in pale rose and stopping about twelve inches above the floor, Benath was visible full-length ruffled pantalettes of the same color and as a finishing touch of the same color and with the strings of black velvet. Winifred Moss likewise portrayed the glory of a by-gone day in a beautiful costume of green satin and then a dress of black and effective; Camille Levy charmingly competitive; and Emily Johnson with laborate bournancy, tiny hat tipped saucer over the left shoulder, all of which identified her as a a chapter of the fashion world, a belief to make up the list of those who attended a la period. Next commanding attention, especially because of their number, were the senators and senators, of these Cora Tucker McDaniels' was probably the most gossipous costume and Mary Stokes' the spitfire, Mary of her attire and that, with the meticulous care which she showed in such details as keeping one arm a kimbo and carrying an unlighted cigarette, was the real secret of the success of her impersonation. But don't forget that the Spanish ladies were insignificant. Not a bit of it. Nobody draped in a handsome Spanish shawl and with any kind of a carriage, can possibly appear insignificant. Certainly Thelma Garland Wasnt in that shawl but she was in that carriage from New York to Alice Mundy either. Alice wore home to Kentucky for "Mother's" and everything that her mother owns is all woll and a yard wide. Vasilij Maxwell's was not only beautiful, but beautifully draped. I have a speaking suit responsible for that part of it, however, Jessica Thomas, Katherine Conner, and Sadie Mubly vied equally with the others for attention. Histories were popular and aponous them I distinguished Xavier Gordon, Edna Over, Mildred Jones, Florence Gluster, Sallie Logan, and Theosa Waters. The costumes worn by the Cynthia Bishop and Alma were hard to beat. They called themselves "Music" and were snug, high-necked backless bodices with short skirts attached. In cynpousious design on the skirts were musical stiffs and the same high-necked bodices. They were really red-hot and my only adverse criticism of them was in the name. It seems to me that when music comes as snappy as that its jazz. It was left to Alpha Peck, however, to introduce the jazz in effect. She wore a gray costume with a high metallic里里. The costume had none of the musical symbols of the portragal; but, then jazz is radicalist, in dancing as well as in music, and Alpha looked right greedy or a good girl in effect. When it comes to dressing for any occasion conventional or otherwise, she surely knows her onions. "Charles-ton" — "Charles-ton" — "Charles-ton" — "Charles-ton" that's how you felt about it when Connie Wharton, May Miller, and Elimira Tibbs came on the scene. They wore down by the original Charleston dancers in *Dunning Wild*. The effect was carried out in oil-cloth. Skirts were out and were open so as to show the toes. A circle played nifty over the left eye, served as headscarf. This in main, was the style but, for modified Elimra, Elimra used red, white and black in her. May used only black and white, while Connie who has a hair for red used nothing but that. They were all indeed swagger. Another smart-looking reveller, Chadia, Demann who announced frequently during the evening that if we put our money up on her we couldn't go wrong. She was a jocky. *N.* fancy-dress occasion, of course is ever complete without its Pigpots and Pierrettes, and Sara Mandis, Flossie Wright. Anita Thomas, and Ruth Burgess supplied Constance Murphy, Audrey Berry, Lois Macheth, and Dorothy Doran were present; Rebecca Murphy and Romaine Adams, ballet dancers; Ethel Waters, Bertha Pennington and Nellie Calls, Mandarins; Gertrude Wallace and Muriel Coleman; Dutch girls; Thelma Coleman a dancer; Fitzgerald a pupil girl; Martha Harmon. St Patrick; Marvel Webb, a rose Alpha Williams, a rosebush; Waltree Murphy, Kvlja Wilson, Red Riding Hood; Hattie Carter, Queen of Hearts; Lilla Martin a little girl—hardly a disgust—Laura Wheatley a Creole of the early nineteenth century; and Blanche Duncan, so Turkish. A few of the men tell in with the spirit of the occasion sufficiently to rig themselves out. Dr. Watts was a dashing cavalier. Harvey Johnson played The Father of His Country to Theodosia's Martha Washington. John Berry was a torader. Toots Smith was a clergyman; Howard Murphy was a Brown wore artist's regular and Noah Thompson, a dancing costume. There were fewer Washington women present than I've ever seen. So I don't recall any but Sue Gossin Stewart.

Ratings Issued By Secretary Burrell 30 RATED IN THE MEN'S SINGLES ALONE Veteran John Wilkinson Ahead of Talley Holmes And Edgar Brown BY J. M. Burrell NEWARK, N. J.—The 1926 ratings of the American Tennis Association, released this week by J. Mercer Burrell, Secretary of the A. T. A., show many striking changes in the list of the leading tennis players of national rank. Men's Singles Naturally, the greatest interest will center around the ratings in utter singles, as this event condition the backbone of competition Satch First Eyre G. Satch, the new national champion, has dethroned "Ted" Thompson, the senatorial holder of the 152 title, as No. 1. The record of the young man in open competition clearly entitles him to place in the ratings, Satch's senatorial victory over "Ted" Thompson in the finals of the Nationalists, and has winning the Eastern Championship Tournament at Bordertown. Thompson is two most prized solely performances, both also a trialist in the Great New York State Open Championship, and also a finalist in the Philadelphia Open Tournament, losing in both events to "Ted" Thompson by a hair's breadth. Satch, the winner, defeated by Thompson and he was amply rewarded by winning from his encounter the main event of the year, the Nationalists at St. Louis. The tournaments in which Satch a winner bid greater weight in the scale used by the Rating Committee. In addition to these performances, the new champion was awarded in his home State in New York. Satch was rated No. 2 in both 1924 and 1925. Thompson Second On the basis of all around play in the Nationals and the other major tournaments during the season of 1926, Thompson stands ahead and shoulders above the field for second place, and is a very good competitor for No. 14. Had he won either the No. 14 or the Easterns, he would hardly a doubt that he should have retained his last year's title. "Ted" lost to Smith in the Nationals, was unexpectedly defeated by the veteran, "Johnson Wilkinson in the semi-finals, the Easterns, and also the mother veteran, the "Oid Master" Talley Holmes in the finals of the Wash- The ex-champion won the Philadelphia Open, the New York Open and Chicago Invitation Limited Tournament in the course of the tournament. The Teen defeated Stitch, Brown, Simmons, Wilkinson, Hudlin and E. D. Downing. Wilkinson Third "Johnson" Willinson, of Washington, D.C., who has probably been enraged in tournament play for a longer period than any other player under the jurisdiction. A. T. A., is rated "Wilder apparently cared for the fountain" in the 1926 season and started a whirlwind campaign in which he flashed the best tennis of his long career. He is great victory over Ted Thompson in the semi-finals of the Eastern, where Smith in the finals. The veteran also competed in the Washington Open Tournament, was a semi-finalist in the New York, on losing to Saito and lost to Brown in the semi-finals of the Nationals. In these tournaments, Thompson defeated such stars as Ted, Thompson, Kenneth Worley and John Taylor of Missouri, playments and having "Ted" Thompson and having committee felt justified, willking Wilkinson area of Brown, who has dropped (from No. 2 in 1925, to No. 4 in the 1926 list. EASTON WON EASTON.—The Cambridge High school basketball team journeyed face Tuesday night. February the 1st, where they met the Easton high school team on the latter's side. The game was played before a crowded house and after two extra periods of play because of the score, the Easton five faced one of the Cambridge five by five. Both scores were Wilson for Cambridge. Nixon and Copper for Easton. Sox Benefited By Rojo Deal The Black Sox benefited by the deal which sends Julio Rojo. Sox catcher and infielder to the Lincoln Giants in exchange for Lindsay Singer in place as Ben Taylor, Sox manager, explains it Lindsay and Singer are young men in baseball. Rojo is a much older player. Lindsay was formerly with the sox but was let go after breaking a deal with the Wilmington Potomacs, the Pennsylvania Red Caps before going to the Lincoln Giants. Singer is also a youngster who plays both infield and outfield and is one of the hardest infitters in the league. Rojo wanted to leave Baltimore. He has been dissatisfied for some time it is learned. He had asked the local management to ask his transplants from Cuba himself and back before he would consent to report this year. 1927 Call Vernon 6016 ennis Rating P. A. L. STANDING W. L. Pet.

Brown, who has become a brilliant player with an uncanny way of dropping them in from long distances without leaving his guard position, was assisted by the able supporters from local clubs.

Semi- KENY Third Winn Quart Winn Quart Semi- Comp GREEK'S LINE-UP DOUBTFUL FOR FRIDAY'S GAME The Alerts recognized as one of the strongest white clubs in the state will attempt to eliminate the Athenians as contenders for the national title on Friday night at the New Albett. The Alerts only recently defeated the Athens Club, which the Athenians were able to conquer by but one point. They point to the Greeks to take the short, end of the score. The Athenians line-up is uncertain just now. The management is dissatisfied with the game as played by some of the members of the team and it would occasion no surprise to see a few of the players taking the sidelong. It is felt that the Athenians boast a good material as any similar organization in the country, "in the lack of cooperation and the super-estimation placed upon themselves by a few of the players are combining to break down one of the best basketball machines in the country, taking full cognizance of this condition, is determined to use strong remedial efforts. Therefore it is not known who the five men will be to take the floor against the Allers on Friday night. Sharing the spotlight with the Athenian-Alert game will be a game between the Girls' under-puted rulers in the Girls' Basketball league and the representatives of the Washington Y. W. A. The two teams have been rivals for the past five years and both play a style of game that compares favorably with the best boys' teams. CELERITAS DEFEAT WASHINGTON Y. W. CELERITAS DEFEAT WASHINGTON Y. W. WASHINGTON, D. C—Last Saturday night before a packed house the Y. W. C. A. Big Five lost a hard battle to the Celticats Girls team from Baltimore and finished and those that witnessed the game claim that it was the fastest and most beautiful girls' game that has been in Washington in the last five years. The half ended with the D. C. in the first 8-2 and for five minutes in the second half neither team managed to connect with the basket until Miss Wharton managed to drop one in from the free throw line that was followed by a beautiful twin decker by Miss Parrott that made from a difficult shot and ended to come out victorious. All the members of the winning team deserve credit from the victory, while Miss Gaunt, Stewart, and Minor played well for the "T" five. A second game will be played in Baltimore on Febru The preliminary game was won by the Shiloh Girl's team over the Howard University Girls, 19-15. The officials in both games were Mr. Turner and Mr. Anderson, who handled the games with great satisfaction to all the players and supported a fine brand of passing and long shooting together with clean true sportmanship, while the loser's defensive game and dribbling was outstanding. Douglass Bowlers Beat "Poly" Douglass Bowlers Beat "Poly" The Douglass High School Bowlers downed the Baltimore Polytechnic boys by 117 points at the Bowling Center Tuesday afternoon before a very interesting crowd of bowling enthusiasts.

YOKELEY AND STRONG SOX DEPENDABLES YOKELEY AND STRONG SOX DEPENDABLES "I am depending upon Yokelese and Strong to carry the main burden of pitching for the Black Sox this year," said Manager Ben Taylor the other day. None of the players are signed up for the Taylor, but their contracts will be sent to them this week. The club has been waiting for the meeting of the Eastern League which took place last week in Atlantic City, before sending out contracts. Strong did very well after his season last year, Taylor said, and Yokelese had spent his experimental stage in the big league has learned enough now to put him in position of giving the Sox the best season of his career. Yokelese is attending Livingstone College and the baseball team. He wrote Manager Taylor last week that he expects to pitch the Easter Monday game between Livingstone and Johnson C. Smith University. This is the biggest athletic event in that section and us draws from 5,000 to 10,000 players. "We won't have any trouble," was their reply, "because we have beaten him easily once before this year." Yokley however, had learned control while he was with the Sox as well as a change of pace and he shut them out eight to nothing. Yokley has invited Ben down to see his Livingstone team trim Johnson C. S Smith University on this stellar occasion. Ben says he believes "Yoke" will do it.

Cognizant of the responsibility of the most and characterized by the sincerity of purpose, a momentous event in the history of the Eastern Colored League happened here when Isaac H. Nuter, Atlantic City attorney and newly elected d president was inducted into office and officially put his shoulder to the wheel of Negro league ball in the Brooklyn night. Headed by chairman Ed. Bolden the Commissioners of the league, men who have fostered the game in this section of the country and the first selected Lawyer Nutter as the first president of the league at the past meeting in Detroit, Mich., personally greeted the new leader and assured co-operation and support in the interest of advancing Negro baseball. Bolden Backs Judge Ed. Bolden, who was one of the prime factors in organizing the Eastern Colored League extended a welcome address, pointing out the conditions and objective of the organization and then the gravel over required Nutter. He principles of the league and convincingly asserted his willingness to serve. Jim Keenan, the efficient orator from the Bronx reviewed baseball situation as it is faced by the Negro clubs in a manner that let him "in on the ground floor." Second Meeting At the next meeting that will be called on the next night, the work of drawing .. schedule will be taken up. A divided season and post season series of seven games, after the custom Western League will be applied. The increase of schedule to 120 games for the season, will virtually mean some of the clubs will be action every day, and in order not to have the home parks "fed up" on an excessive number of games the league will leave neutral parks and give the far more cities a chance to see the clubs in games that count in the pennant scramble. To Play In Richmond To Play in Richmond Already parks in Richmond, Va. and Mt. V. L. are in line and time of the schedule release, the Commissioners expect to have other parks under their wing that will enable them to form a circuit easy to litterate. Owners Present The meeting was held at the Bacharach Giants Exchange Hall and attended by president Nutter attended by Alexandre Pompez of the Cuban Stars; Nat. C. Strong, Brooklyn Royal Giants; Geo. Rosser, Baltimore Black Sox; Jim Keenan, Lincoln Giants; Ed. Bolden, Hildale Club and Hammond Daniels, Chan. B. Johnson John Dykes, B. Johnson Giants, Colonel Strothers, owner of the Harrisburg Giants was the only ab- While the league now has seven clubs in line, it is the intention of the Commissioners to map a schedule that will take care of the situation and since all clubs are not compelled to be in action the same day this can easily be effected. This decision has been reasoned because of the fact that the canvases of the club show no signs of a staple of the calibre necessary and rather than have a "weak sister" in the line the Commissioners will hold the vacancy open until a good prospect appears. Jim Keenan Is On Hunt For Right Handed Pitcher The gathering failed to talk shop in regards to bartering the swaps of his team to Keenan let it be known that it is no secret that the Lincoln Giants are in the market for a right handed curver With Lefty Glissanten, Rube Chambers and Sinta Glimore. The Giants have a Bronx crew has a wealth of the eccentric left handers, but the right handers who toiled for Lincoln's Fitch, Bradley and Simmons were more or less an experiment. And now Keenan's soutient Lloyd are on the gumption mission for an orthodox ginger. Basketball Results Morgan, 35: Scholastics, 15. Douglass, 23: Vocational, 19. Cardinals, 26: Harmony, 24.

ADVERGED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-26 BOXING CHICAGO.—With his eye practically well, Bud Taylor, Illinois bantamweight champion, is getting in condition by bout, here February 24, with Tony Canzoner, white, of New York. Taylor has not been in the ring for a couple of months, because of an operation on his left eye to remove a lump. Joe Sanson, white of Milwaukee, is credited with injury Taylor when he won a decision over the Chicago battler several months ago. ATLANTA, GA., (PNS.)—"Tiger" Flowers, former middleweight champion, has been matched for a ten-round bout with Lew Nogash, the Boston slasher, in Boston, February 18, according to an announcement by the agger for Tiger Flowers. They will fight as light-heavyweights. Flowers is to begin training at once and at the same time will assist Young Stribling, white, a member of Miller's stable, train for his weight battle in Madison Square Garden with Eddie Huffman, white. LOS ANGELES, CALIF., FEB. 2. (PCNB.)—Charlie Long, a middleweight formerly of Omma, Nebraska, will play in the Harms, white. Two weeks back, Long lost to Harms on a foul, but instead of being suspended, was given a rematch.

So Come to Mo t My Opinion. Men with weak nerves. Not sick—yet hardly able to work. Why not get well? How common it is to see a business man—bright, capable, intellectual and possessing the requisite keenness to make his business a success. financially—bowed down with uliments, sallow complexioned, eyes having a tired look, and every fibre of his body apparently protesting against exertion. Such men we see by the score in this and every other city. And the most extraordinary part of it is that these men have accepted the burden of an incomplete life and take their conditions as a matter of course. Perhaps they have expanded large sums of money in the hope of having their health and happiness restored, but, meeting with ineffective results, hope has left them. DON'T GIVE UP.

An American firm which set up a church in Trinidad, the wages of $1.25 a day was forced out, Bishop Gaines said, by great English landholders to whose advantage it is to keep wages as low as these American, he declared, circumvented the English by going to Canada and securing a charter unrestricted to operate having been forced to close. Quoting Bishop Alexander Payne, one of the founders of the church, "No institution in the country is so closely observed and quickly understood," Bishop Payne, he declared, stated that the church suffered from threeills, first, the ambition of the pastors; second, their ambition for general offices; and third, their ambition to secure the church.

"RELIGIOUS FERVOR LED TO OBSCURITY" SAYS DR. MITCHEL JOHN'S HOPKINS PROFESSOR IS HISTORY WEEK SPEAKER AT MORGAN COLLEGE "The Negro's greatest advancement has come through economic changes and not through religious fervor," Dr. Broadus Mitchell told an audience at Morgan College in its annual Negro Week celebration. In his address, Dr. Mitchell said that the religious fervor of the Negro has led him to obscurity. "You sing for hundreds of years, but your progress has arisen more from economic opportunities than religious petition. Restriction of immigration has done immeasurable good. If a full stomach is impossible, a full stomach is skimful. Following the address, Holston T. Washington on Backer T. Washington and Mary Neugent read a paper on "The Home Life of the Negro." Enon S. S. Elects The Eton Baptist Church Sunday School hold their regular election of officers last Wednesday night, Harry Parker succeeded himself for the sixth time as superintendent.

Signoret on Richard Allen. Cooperation With The Y. M. C. A. Following a talk by Marvin B. Eckford, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Bishop Galnes, Dr. Bragg and several others promised secretary Eckford full cooperation of the churches and the pastors. A fault of the Y. M. C. A., Bishop Galnes said, in the past was that it limited its "Sunday speakers to too small a group." He urged Secretary Eckford to enlarge the group of men ministers to speak at Sunday services so as to include the A. M. E. S. also. Commenting upon history week celebration, Dr. Bragg declared that pastors can not be what God intended them to be without a knowledge of history. "We have a stunted growth and we hold God responsible," he said. "We talk of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson instead of our leaders." Pastors, he said, err in failing to urge the people to have books in their homes and to know the history of their church; the Y. M. C. A. and social service institutions. The pastor, he said, needs knowledge. "We've go to worship God, go with our helmets and our backs, but with our heads. As pastors we've got to wake up and give the peel the light or else we will cut the wood from underneath our cow feet."

Rev. W. H. Johnson, Founder 1139 Harlem Avenue. Ballimore, Md. February 7, 1927. Editor of XPRO-AMERICAN. Sir. November 1, 1857, at the close of my General Conference, I was sent as Bishop to a meeting in St. Luke Church, and seven men with Elder's orders having received them from a Presiding Elder prior to my assuming The pastor, Rev. Frasier, assumed a belligerent attitude and from then on encouraged the students to be mindful to raise his conference claims and verdicts and I, in order to help him, hirted Dr. J. B. Greer. He instructed the students in January 25d and agreed to allow the money raised at 2 p. m. in service credited to the church for the unpaid fees. Frasier arranged for a rally for the same day and showed by his attitude he was working "AGAINST" and not "against" him. I wrote him a letter telling him he must get better control of his people and teach them to be responsible. He telegrammed me to my home in Philadelphia on January 25th and said he was doing his work. He told me that teachers Monday, January 24. A letter from him stained the same. At no time did I ever tell him or any one not to go to school. I did not control the congregation, I would declare the public vacant. I do not write this as an excuse. I do not deny the former pastor by having saved me a very unpleasant job. You. HISPHOP P. A. BOLDEN. 1632 Carpenter St. Philadelphia, Pa. Services are usual at St. Luke on Sunday, February 15th.

Preachers' meeting on January 24th. Angelology is the doctrine of the existence of an order of spiritual beings that form a connection between earth and heaven of God to nature. Several suggestions are offered to explain the origin of the idea of the existence of angels. Perhaps the oldest is that of the temptation to attribute to every force of nature a personality. Even the heavenly bodies became personal beings, presiding over the destinies of all mankind, and of all humanity will develop which indicated a signal directive force, which led to the belief of a superior to whom these spirits were servants. A much later idea is that angels were not nations in the service of labor. But passing these suggestions as more speculations, we find that the doctrine of the Scriptures, which do not declare, but presuppose the existence of angels. These from Geneva are an established fact. The doctrine in such a manner as would imply that the existence of angels was an established fact. The doctrine in Geneva states with as much assurance that God placed at the cast of Eden, Cherubim and a third, first chapter, "in the beginning God created the heavens and earth." This angelic band comes in the record of events without any formal introduction at all, however, because the perhaps Abraahim and the angelic existence had been so developed that it was fully accepted as an established fact, even as the Any force which Jehovah uses in dealing with man is often dogged, and man is often as dogged. Men also in their acts as servants or agents whether as individuals or a collective body are applied to Jehovah, as the Angel of Jehovah, the Angel of His people. But there is a sufficient WATERS' A.

Page Seventeen Council alketh not in the counsel of way of sinners, nor sitteth in delight is in the law of the dilate day and night. Psalm Elizabeth Crowner, a member of SERMON number of other passages to give his authority for the doctrine of Angelic existence. The doctrine necessarily comprehends the doctrine of Demonology, but it will in the world. That malevolent beings of a highly rational nature exist, seems to be as much the teaching of the Scripture as the life that these angels who are developed that these are angels that have lost their high estate. Some think that the account in the Gospels describe these angels who fell through their love for the daughters of men. There are some who oppose the doctrine both of Angelology and Demonology, and were opposed by the Sadducees. Those who have later offered objectives, contend that our Lord during his time in the light of his day, though he knew that these beings did not exist. When the seventy returned and resumed his duties had been subjected to them, the Master said, "I believed Satan as lightning fall from heaven. It with those possessed with devils as well as his references to angels but confirms the belief in the existence of these beings, angelic beings of a highly rational nature. It seems reasonable that there should be ranks among the angels as we see the same principle curved in the earth. This very variety makes the harmony of His universe. Angels perform various offices as well as various duties with nations and individuals. On the night of the Nativity, angels heralded the glad idolms of the new born King. They ministered to the needs of God's servants. "He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." They ministered to the needs of His temptation in the wilderness, and Passion in Gethseme. They fill the offices of warriors, buttes, and jebus. They will fight the last great battle when the earth shall be won from the powers of darkness, and the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. M. E.

DRUID HILDRY AVENUE PHONE: MAD. 2603 BALTIMORE, MD. Page Eighteen BUSINESS A WEEK Information Bureau: This ing, business opportunities stock Finance Institute To Busin Leadership Must Have Credi ing To Lay Active Several days ago, the representative of a group of five young men who are developing a small business in Baltimore went into a bank to get $200 credit with which to pay out a small amount which they were practically assured a profit of 100 per cent. Any one of the young men could have gone into some bank of the city and have borrowed the amount on a personal note and most of them not only owned some real estate in the city but had substantial salaried positions, but had executives at a mortgage they could not borrow the money. In other words this bank was not in the habit of loaning money on business credit. What Was Wrong If five young, finishing business establishments or serving apprenticeships in business establishments, wish to start in business it would be next to impossible for them to finance even a substantially promising project under present financial conditions, not expected to encourage business projects in this way, and colored institutions have not reached the place yet where they can take the risks. Yet under present economic conditions, credit, is necessary in properly developing any "selling business." There are a few men in every good sized town who can get credit at any bank and are not in any concerns who have already established themselves which can get unlimited credit. But what is lacking most is the conditions which will encourage young men and women to maintain characters and stand out with money with which to make more money. This cannot be done until there are financial sources where they can borrow for purely business reasons. Shady establishments would also serve as medias of advice. When a young white man walks into a white bank for credit, not only him, but his business is studied. The banker is anxious for him to succeed because it means future deposits. He therefore gives him the benefit of his fine experience in the line he expects to enter. Call Vernon 6016 ESS & INDU COLLECTIVE SURVEY OF LABOR AND BUSINESS Conducted By WILLIAM N.

H. Rutherford, president of the company Friday. The plans for the coming together of the Standard Life Insurance company with the municipal began several weeks ago. The former organization was one of the strongest insurance companies in the south prior to 1925, when it was taken over by the Southern Life, white, or Nassau Life, black, or New York Life, taken over by the Standard in 1925 and sold later to the Southern Life for $125,000 or more. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is the second largest insurance company in the country, with more than 100,000 colored people. It was organized in 1898 in Washington. NATIONAL BENEFIT PASSES $50,000,000 NATIONAL BENEFIT PASSES $50,000,000 WASHINGTON. — The annual stockholders meeting of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company will be held on the third and all which time officers were elected for the coming year. The stockholders appeared highly gratified at the conduct of the company's business and the progress of Rutherford, was reelected president and treasurer of the organization, W. A. Warfield M.

Lee and M. E. Lowery, directors. The company reports an increase of 85,000 new policy holders; $757.4, M. K. Sasson, and $90,713 insurance in force. VETS' INSURANCE WORTH MILLIONS CAN BE SAVED The valuable protection embodied in government insurance policies for veterans, involving millions of dollars, can be saved with a little effort. If the veterans will take advantage of the bureau's offer to reinstate these policies before July 2, 1957. In the state of Maryland alone there is some $600,000,000 of potential insurance most of which was permitted to lapse by the veterans of the World War and most of which may be reinstated by permanent ex-service men to relinquish their insurance on very inexpensive terms and provides for the conversion of the term, or war time insurance, into any of the six standard insurance policies. War veterans should lose no time in having their insurance cover their conditions and for such little consideration as will never be their opportunity again in life. All inquiries should be addressed to the Regional Manager, United States Veterans' Bureau Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Maryland.

"Money Back If Not Satisfied." Baltimore, Md. GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter George Williams was a clown, a mime, in modern day parlance a comedian. His duty it was to make others laugh in spite of the puns in his own heart, tugging at the heart strings, that was the blackface dancer with the "Brown Skin Models" at the Royal last week. Until a few weeks ago his life was one of continual bliss, but not so now, as trouble seemed to lurk behind corner, that was the wife Hilli Jones joined the show as a member of the chorus: George put out $209 in cold cash to buy her a fur coat to make her look good and she did look good. Every other man that Hilda looked ed god and she proceeded to every other man she looked that she was what good theire looked. That's what Friday while she was doing her turn on the stage, George took the trouble making coat and dressed up in a suit. He was forced for treason, but so impressed was the Magistrate in the Northwestern with George's pathetic plea, that he found it easy to recall that law about a man could not steal from his wife or a wife from her husband, and dismissed her. Louis Joyner, 1918 Madison avenue, came home Friday to find his wife, Elizabeth Joyner, entertaining company in the bedroom. Now it was not because Louis was his wife, but because he objected to her having company in the bedroom but it was because the company happened to be a man. In a gentlemanly way, Joyner declared in the North Carolina house he leave the room. The man complied after Joyner had assisted him with his overcoat. Nothing would have happened had it ended there but the stranger was no sooner off and him that all was not well within and he went back to protect her. The gentleman soon reappeared on the street minus his chivalry and minus his coat tails and had been neatly sewed with a razor. While Joyner was operating on the visitor, his wife did not wait her turn and she escaped the scene her getaway. Joyner was fined $10 and costs.

Recommendations Halted When Count Shows Less Than 25 Delegates THREE NEW CLUBS JOIN ORGANIZATION Bulletin For Clubs, Censoring Of News, New Buildings And Concerts A lack of a constitutional quorum prevented an official meeting of the Presentation and Presentation Clubs when that body met at School 103. Tuesday night and when a group of recommendations were submitted by the President, Mrs. Laura J. Wheatley. An excellent program, rendered by children of the school, preceded the meeting and the following three new parent teacher clubs were welcomed into the organization: School 119, Gilmore and Mosher streets; Vocational School A, Carry and Cumberland; School 120, Pennsylvania avenue and Robert street. Over 20 clubs were represented, according to Mrs. Wheatley. Official action on recommendations from the Executive Board was postponed, however, when it developed that a constitutional morium was issued to the board on the reading of the recommendations, including one that matter for the press be censored and a constitutional change looking towards provisions for a larger number of delegates. The following were the recommendations; That a bulletin be sent to each club; The news of the Federation's activities. 11. Any club desiring a speaker may write or see Miss Edna E. Hall, 1116 Springfield avenue. 11. That a committee from the Federation has requested the school board to place all condensed edored buildings laid on the building program for replacement by new buildings. IV. Our children are shut out from public concerts and other cultural opportunities such as attending rehearsals of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at the Acrie for a concert. We therefore discussed the advisability of interceding for similar arrangement to be made for colored children and to consider bringing a living artist to our children in recent this school year. Announcement was made that an artist from England is hosting the United States from England. Mrs. Laura Knight, will visit the art class at the Douglass HI, organized by the Federation. She anticipates finding a model in the class.

Maryland was not as drastic or as indifferent here as in southern states, thus the reaction after the emancipation was not as pronounced. Freedmen in Maryland. The freedmen of Maryland had a large number of freedmen and many slaves in this state lived comfortably. It was in Maryland, however, that a great many of the abolition societies spring into being and it was in Baltimore that William Lloyd Garrison began his work.
