From The Bottom From "One as remarkable and American as the other," said William Monroe Trottier in speaking of Lincoln and Dougiss, "we came in the same direction. They were self-taught and self-made. Lincoln rose the higher, but Dougiss went the longer, distance away. They were both great servants of their country. They both helped equally to the country, the greatest benefactor of our race; the benefactor of our liberator; the other our own liberator." Strolling Minstrel After Dr. M. O.

"The thing that made Lincoln so famous was that they did" said Dr. Johnson, "the vision of a country by which they were presumed—a country in which men would know the truth and all men would control themselves by the love of the truth and in the interest of the truth." Such men, he said, "are always the gifts of God to the people. Their bodies pass away, but the thing which they learned for which they learned is never only at hand. It is always approaching, and always there are moral evils in the way of its com- Not Yet Arrived." "The men who truly love Douglas and Lincoln," he declared, "will not be content to enjoy the party in which he has been achieved, but they will be disturbed because of that part of the country which has not yet arrived."

However, I have reliably taught me to see that my past life was valuable, does it matter? Age is often great deal justice. Age is often great deal justice.

I shall ask you merely two. I shall quote you quite as copiously as I can, you like myself, copies of letters that passed between us. I will tell you, like myself, details of conversations in your letter of Dec. 18. You refer to my right to minidrule during my tenure, to be a remarkable memory of details of conversations being part of you, as you infer, that I misapproved my tenure. You cannot have forgotten—for your memory is a most important part of wasting school time, I learned it at a principal who is an annotator, or any person (and I except none) I have not met or known in my twentieth years of teaching.

'S9 SEEK BERTH IN CHI COUNCIL Colored Candidates Fight For The Wards COMMITTEEMAN ROW OVERSHADOWS PRIMARY Whites Name Alleged Under- world Leader As G. O. P. Choice CHICAGO, FEB. (ANP.)—Nine Negroes are asphalters for the city council in the primary election campaign here which comes to a close February 22. Four of these are running in the famous Second Ward, two in the Third, and three in the Fourth. As a background to the light these men are making against each other, is the struggle for leadership of big blocks of the Negro vote between Edward H. Wright, Illinois Commerce Commissioner, and duly elected committeeman of the Second Ward; Daniel M. Jackson, an undertaker who has been chosen to supervise the election; certain white interests, and Oscar Dearborn, first Negro alderman, and now reported to be a discredited leader. Wright is the only one possessing a clear chain of laurels. He was elected in 200 to represent the Second Ward in the councils of the Republican party. Wright and DePriest have been on opposing factional sides of the political fence for years. Early in the present campaign, DePriest is said to have been chosen to oppose Mr. Mawlah W. DePriest to handle his interests in the present campaign. Thompson aspires to control the black wards himself. This did not please Mr. Mawlah W. DePriest, document of Thompson was not coming from Wright's organization. Thompson, State's Attorney Crowe, and several other prominent white leaders, demanded that Wright support his campaign in the Second Ward. Wright refused to hear them. Allegd Gambler Daniel Jackson was thereupon named by these whites to take over Wright's prerogatives in the Second War. Wright is nicknamed for his influence in the city, and is reputed to be a millionaire. He is given credit for being the leader of the south side gambling syndicates. His philipson should win in the April election, it would mean a temporary celipse of Wright as a leader, or a serious clipping of his wings of power. The chances for Thompson winning are small. Wise political observers recognize that Wright's enemies, white and black, take a long chance to cripple him. Second Ward Louis B. Anderson is seeking reelection to the city council from the Second Ward. He is being opposed by Augustus I. Williams, a former state commissioner, who strong race against Anderson in the last election; Harvey A. Watkins, a real estate dealer and churchman, and Charles A. Travis, a realtor, who became state central committee chairman. William E. King, his opponent in the last election, Third Ward. Robert R. "Fighting" Bob Jackson, is after the job again in the Third Ward. William E. King, a former assistant corporation counsel and member of the state legislature. There are four Republican candidates in the Fourth Ward, but only three are colored. The present incumbent is Berthold A. Cronson, a Jew. The Negroes seeking his seat are Dr. George A. Prince, noted as a specialist in disease of women and children; Vigilall A. Cooke, an employee of the board of local improvements and S. W. Springer, a busy worker in Chicago insurance circles. Most of the Negroes white voters in the Fourth Ward are Democratic, for Negroes have refrained entering candidates in the 28th Ward where they form a large percentage of the population.

O Russian Jews Ridicule Heaven And Hell Theories, Pickens Finds Page Four JEWISH "PLAY" MAKES FUN OF OUR RELIGION Moses and Abraham Slip Down To Hell To Have A Little Fun PICKENS IN RUSSIA VISITS CHURCHES TOO Congregation Stands In Heatless Buildings For Long Service NEW YORK.—William Pickens, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. returned Wednesday on the White Star Junior Olympic from his European tour in the course of which he delivered 60 lectures in England and Scotland, and spoke in Germany, Poland and Russia. RUSSIA Trotzky — The Theater — The Church By William Pickens For the Associated Negro Press RUSSIA—Leon Trotaky is a very clever man, and like all very clever men, he is strongly suspected by the less clever people of being very egistic. He did not appear egistic to me. After I had cut my visit short with him to rush to the showing of the revolutionary picture, "Potemkin", a woman at the show place here in the United States, came to the movies, remarked "Well, I am glad for once that somebody did that to Trotsky everybody in this town would crawl into the minutes' interview with Trotsky." Do Whites Do Much Harm? In the course of our conversation, it dawned upon Trotky that there are members of every movement for the uplift of the American Negro—and he asked, with a twinkle in his eye, for our organization it do much harm? Later he elaborated: "If any white people come into an organization good; because they feel a feeling of 'sympathy' and 'benefulness,' they will do more harm to the organization than they could be good; because they look down on us, and feel themselves to be superior. The only way in which they could be good, is by being equals, as comrades in a common struggle for the common good." We do not need to make any comment on those words of Trotky; every person knows, is a plain comment on them, one way or the other. Theatre And Church On Saturday night I went to the Jewish theatre, and on Sunday morning to one of the great old Jews, and on Sunday Jews are now free in Russia, and when one remembers what a hell Russia was for the Jow, for generalization, and Jow in Russia would seem to justify all that Russia has had to pay for the change. I did no surprise me to find that Jow was fun of some of our religious hypocrisies in their theatre performance. They were playing a sort of parody on "The Angel of the Sea" and "the angel and 'saints' and the Devil in the play, and, of course, some sinners. I noticed that the Devil was realier looking and more attentive in all his ways than any of the others. Good Angel Ugliest And the ugliest character in the whole man was "certain 'good' anger what he knew around until he finally fell into love with one of "the daughters of men," and "promptly" to kill his sons and to dig fear and tied them to a pully rope that was sudden to the sky, and then these incorporeal articles and emblems back to heaven. In Heaven The scene later shifted to heaven where they were "olding high court Nearly everybody before the court husbands," and we noticed that the recording angels condemned the good-looking young lady sinners to be secretaries to the recording angels, and to the recording sentences, the whole hatch of old sinners were condemned to "to stay forever in heaven." In Hell This seemed to be such a severe sentence that the unhappy prisoners finally made a conspiracy with the man off to his abode. When they arrived in the Satanic domain, we noticed that it was labeled in blazing fiery letters, "EUROPE." Finally, the man was drawn up of the other archangels and secretaries, hearing the merry voices and the whistling coming up from the underworld, slipped up of heaven, drawn up to join in the good time, too. The crowd roared when Moses coming in sheepishly, said that he was going to whistle some, too. All of which was not a bit more sacrilegious than Bert Williams' famous monologue to the same effect. And the acting man who did the dance of death would be supreme artists anywhere. Congregation Stands Then Sunday morning we went to church. After seeing both the theatrical performance and the theatrical performance, we asked what a wrong opinion any person would get who saw only ONE of these two. Seeing the theatre, we conclude that Russia is all wrong. The congregation at the crowd at the theatre was largely workers and intellectuals; the congregation at the church was the two extremes—peasant and bourgeois—the great stone-floored cathedral has no room for the congregation stands during service which is a long service. Call Vernon 6016 Man Admitted Attack On Two Little Girls, But Gets Off With Light Sentence CASE SETTLED IN MAGISTRATE'S COURT Even Parents Did Not Press Charge Of Criminal Assault In Case "Boy Orator" Must File Answer ATLANTA, Ga.-L. H. A. Bell died here Thursday of last week at the residence of Mr. Bell was an Odd Fellow, Pythian and a thirty-third degree Mason. The man of the joint board of finance of the C. Church, "the body was carried to Ebbw Vale by a day afternoon. Mr. Bell left four sons and daughters, including Mr. G. his great coat on. The churches are filled with wealth, even after the government during the famine some years ago,—according to what we heard in the states. The great agressions and violence and circles of burning candles counted 300 candles, and then got tired and stopped counting. It was more interesting counting candles than to the weird chanting of the priest. Superb Singing But, O the singing! That was superb. The soprano and tenor were the best, the priest hummed his intonations and waved his mimicry, they sang, and more like that of the American Negroes than anything else I have ever seen anywhere in the world, one line at a time in the music and paid no attention to the Russian language, he might have been heartbroken in the musical institution on the American Negroes. Church's Mistake But undoubtedly the church does not hold the same place or respect for the first place, it made the mistake the keep on talking about "heaven" when men were starving to death in famine and needed food, and it was institute for temporal HUNGER. And the church had more respect for its sacred bodies, the perishing bodies of children and babies, so that the government had to take some of its wealth by force and not at all unlikely that the officers of government went too far,—took advantage of the situation to rob without fault or guilt in such a proceeding. The Czar Again, the church under the Czar was identified with Czarism, and heaven seemed to be allied with the Czar, and the Czar claimed the special favor and protection of heaven, and so when the people beat the Czar and his Cossacks, they had a first feeling that the Czar was his allies, including heaven and the church. The reaction after a successful revolution against a heaven-buttressed government is sure. The Russians are sure to come around and be responsible view of religion than the one they destroyed with the Czar. SUIT IS BEGUN ABOUT WHO DID START "BLUES" MEMPHIS, TENN.-Did William C. Hainy, known throughout the country for his "blues," rulen in the motif of "Memphis Blues" from Bruce Walker, ages 10, and the Mississippi River, who is now dying in dirt and squirrel in a ramshackle shanty off the Mississippi street in Memphis, Tennessee? Frederick Callaway, attorney, has been involved in efforts of settling the matter by taking the case. According to his contention, "Fiddler's Gal Was She," a song origi- nally written by Walker years ago, was the basis of the "Memphis Blues," which finally made Handy famous, and Handy the mo- del of the Negro spiritual, the ragtime of ragtime and the musical and speech idiom of the colored people, his music. I combined these characteristics and called them the "blues." Bruce Walker is dying, and the co- mposer of the conclusion. He belonged to the older group of river men, who earned their living by singing the most physical exertion of river workmen. Bruce is conducting a prosperous music business with offices at 1545 Broadway.

The alleged assault upon the girls Vioa Warek, age 10, 252 Pierce street, and Mary Radiof, age 7, 265 north Pine street, came to light after a petrated and when one of the little girls was found to be infected with the virus. Following the story that they had been taken to Harcus' home, he was arrested and according to police conditions, he was sentenced to prison to serve him to his room and pleaded guilty on a common assault charge. He lived at 527 West Lexington street. While police magistrates have no jurisdiction in rape cases the magistrate imposed the severest sentence minus the law in a case of rape, and assailed the man who was placed against the man by the police department when they were unable to prove by medical authority that charge was committed. A charge of assault by placing his hands on the children was made in each case and he was one year in each to run consecutively. Condition Sordid A visit to the home by an AFRO reefer was made in life.

You can stop them now with Cremoulison, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Cremoulison 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 a powerful agent for preservative medicines for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Cremoulison contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Cremoulison is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.

Rhodes, the Maryland Theatre doorman, as the champion job-holder of Baltimore. For more than a quarter of a century he has held his post in front of the old Franklin street vaudeville house, greeting Baltimore's site with his ever present smile, and being in old Calvert County, radiating with southern Maryland hospitality that made him an asset to the theatre, that smile of wel- liness which seemed to say "Come in." Started In 1992 Rhodes took his job in 1802 for a week's trial, when the old Auditorium Theatre, since torn down, decided to put on skirts and have a dress drive to the theatre in hansens with a coachman perched up on a box in the rear. His statue suspended above the air of aristocracy to the appearance of the theatre and he was held on. When the management of the theatre erected the Maryland Rhodes was placed there. The Maryland has since come to be known by theatre, goers as a Baltimore institution. The theatre is called by most about town, is a part of that institution. So well pleased was James Kerman, the manager with offices of the theatre when he died he provided in his will that he should have a job there as long as he lived. His family. Mr Rhodes has the family, consisting of a wife, two boys and a child. The boys have made a creditable reputation as members of the theatre community and branches of athletics. With privileges to Pione for monologuing with his famous quotation, we might say that "Honor and come from no condition rise, do well your job, there all the honor." Jack Rhode must have done his job well or he would have lost it long ago. ROYAL The Royal has a Jack Golberg presentation this week that is very entertaining and talented, headed by Clara Smith and her "Blackout" show, which will be very true, no different from lots of others seen here, but the talent assembled and the way they put over their numbers, makes it as entertaining a show as any that have seen it. Ms. Smith's song of "blues" and "Live Found A Round About Way To Heaven," a jubilee, was very well done, and also a great number of the audience uprepares with the way she childs the musicians and fellows sent near the stage. The ladies especially gained a lot of applause in the amusement when Miss Smith informed the men that said they did not have anybody, that she did not want them either, and from the large number of men of the audience, there must be something wrong. Then there is Nuggie Johnson, formerly of Ethel Waters' "Vaniotes." Nuggie has the anatomy of a child on an on-time in putting over his gas. He has adopted the stunt of balling out all of the performers that have appeared before him. He is the chorus girls. Nuggie has a pleasing voice and was exceptionally fine in his interpretation of a diety girl singing a song that Smith saw the same number. Happy Holmes, Willie the "bird" and George Green handle the rough house comedy. The former romance song that Smith speaks any girl. This song has been sung here before, but never have I seen an audience go as wild as those first nighters. He was comedy star in fact. Holmes controls his voice in such a way that no matter what he sings he holds his hearers spell-bound. Green stars with Florence Scott in the bit of song, dance and entertainment, while Willie the That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advises Women On Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was the desi tion of motherhood." writes Mrs. Margaret Newton, author of *Motherhood: A Companion to periods of terrible suffering and loss*. She is a beautiful little daughter and a true companion and inspiration to my husband, like he is the secret of my happiness, and I will write more. Mrs. Burton offers her advice strictly without charge. She has nothing to offend her, and her correspondence will be strictly condensed. A Dangerous Condition "There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Milss Hopkins, who said he "tried a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had score headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and I kept it lifeless and I took it a dose, after which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid."

The Plan In Detail Is as follows: When a stockholder has enough money in the Association to pay the expense of legal transfer of a property to the Association, six months expenses, (Ground Rent, Taxes &c) four weeks' payments of dues and interest and a fee for the management of the property until paid for, the Association will endeavor to find and buy a home suitable to his needs, and allow him to occupy it upon the following terms: A contract of sale will be given him in which the Association binds itself to deed the property to him when he has paid for it through regular weekly payments, each of which shall be made to him. Under this arrangement the proportion of the yearly expenses, taxes, ground rent, repairs &c.; twenty cents dues for each one hundred dollars of the cost of the property, and twelve cents for each one hundred dollars, as interest, this being subject to reduction as each one hundred dollars arrangement payment would be the same for ten years, but the purchaser has the right to ten as much more as he may be able to do; and the principal payments are increased as the interest decreases, thus lessening the time.

A high degree of safety, a rate of interest above that which banks can afford to pay, and the consciousness that every dollar entrusted to the Homemakers' Building Association will be put once in helping people of limited means to secure suitable homes, are factors which should appeal to many. If you have money in bank you can increase your interest earning by putting part of it in This Association at 6 percent. he Growth of the Home— How well the plan of the Homemakers' Building Association has succeeded is clearly evident in 1821 about 250 persons are now doing business with the Association, and property amounting in value to about $200,000 has been bought.

He and another going man, Dabney, the honor of whose acquaintance I did not have—had been the only members of the student group. I do not recall precisely the total number included, but the numbers eight and thirteen finger so persistently in my mind in connection with what was said, that I am inclined to believe that one or the other of them must have some relation to the size of the group. At any rate—eight, or thirteen, or whatever they were—they all survived the attack getting into Russia and the course of events arrived ultimately at Moscow. Making one of the universities their home, they fitted themselves with the student life of the city and proceeded to spend eight of the most wonderful weeks that had ever come into the experience of any Nowhere in the world are education and life so thoroughly identical in practice as well as in theory as in the United States. In Russia; so that even though the activities of these Americans were limited almost entirely to the student world, they were able to observe much of this government of the workers, for the workers, by the workers. Glenn gave us some very illuminating facts about it all, but perhaps they are a little too serious to find place in a letter from one middle-pated individual to another. There were, however, some interesting sidelights on the experience which might be appropriate for being told. The visiting of these one were being wined and dined—or if you wish, voddad and dined and ex-dined by their Russian comrades in a manner so touchingly sincere that the Americans were moved to respond with a cordially equally genuine. Glenn was their spokesman, and he started off by saying how sympathetically he and his fellows were watching this marvelous experiment of Soviet Russia that proved to be just about as unfortunate a beginning as could possibly have been made. The word experiment did as well as in experiment did to bring Russia what was doing does to a built. They protested vigorously and one of them in red-hot anger interrupted Glenn to say that the revolution was an accomplished fact and the term "experiment" not only a mis-homer, but an insult. Moral: Go to the USA, whenever you want to, but park "experiment" outside. Another funny thing: Glenn cowed one day when a young girl approached him. Yery evidently she had been hesitant about it.

The two in informal little group Sunday a Russian evening of it. peered curiously into his face, and curiously into his back of his hand. At length, gaining courage, she hastily lifted his hand, and then, that he gripped, dilled all eyes. Scott Nearring in his travels bad, of course, gone it alone. A citizen of the world, he knows Moscow and being as familiar as he knows the world of his intimate knowledge, he supplemented all that Glenn had said with some very fascinating discoveries and factual proof that came from him was that the Russian universities are manned almost entirely by the Russian elite, bitterly and bosheshike—handsome all of them from the old regime. Can you imagine it? His explanation of this paradox is the very simple one: the Russian universities in their respective positions are all dressed up with no places to go. The students are a thirst for knowledge, but for various reasons there are few adequately prepared to train them. The professors, on the other hand are admirably competent. Some of them are very well prepared, but for various reasons they are irrecoverably bound to Russia. Improved by the revolution, they must teach or starve; and whom they teach it not the prolearmat? Nearing talked principally of Russian art. He said that amusing as it may seem, art had suffered as a result of the fact that had taken place, that the art objects connected with the old national religion were as safe in the hands of the monks as in the seams now, as they had formerly been in the hands of the monks. He further showed that the social revolutions of the 18th century the nations art. It was as if the artist with his sensitive soul had gained prescience of the event and almost unconscious of whatever the materials with which he worked. But that I may not weary you, let's pass to happenings. I will dance for instance. It occurred on Friday last, you will remember.

As glowing and romantic an episode on this—one of the most sublime instances of undaunted courage utterable odds in a form but one arc of the appeal of forms, one arc of the appeal of forms, around it. Blowwid Sedgewick who also directed the production has written an absorbing story of the injustices of a "ring" who preyed on the Indiana and incited the uprising for their own ends and the plot a charming love story, making the picture an epic of frontier The screen story really centers in the person of Bob Langdon who first seen as a piny angel, comes through as a general officer. General Jack Stanford, Bob secures an appointment to West Point and falls in love with Sandra Woolley daughter Betty. She is a real friend of Indiana and to disregard the corrupt Indian agent, Beldon, seeks to frame up a scandal involving Stanford's son Lawrence weak-willed tough. He plots the plot and takes the blame and is ex-convicted.

In the fight that follows, Beldon is killed and his entire settlement set on fire, renece Stanford's woods, vinticates and is reappointed to the police, and wins Betty.

There she is found by Valentino, who suffering from remorse and now realizing that she did not betray him in the attack, he is killed by his father, the sheik, in attempting a rescue. What enues is said to be fraught with the most compelling and adventurous action the man has ever attempted on the screen.

We have and a full house at every performance. Thus it affords me, my self a former Baltimorean, great pleasure to speak so highly of this show of talent. The white people of Atlantic City highly enjoyed the show. They have a trap dinner, also from Baltimore, called "Badly" Stewart. I will say he is the best colored drummer that I have heard for sometime. He does not act monkey on the stage or in the pit, but drums like a real professional, thereby drawing favorable comments from local white musicians. Stewart dresses neatly and beams on the audience with a grateful smile. I think the people here should be proud of this young man, and he has a host of friends here who locked to the orchestra to greet him. Many thanks, as we handle all the leading colored papers as well as the city papers. Hoping you will give the Savoy favorable mention, as we are open for colored as well as white shows. Chaude R.

GAY ST., BALTIMORE, MD WE SHIP EVERYWHERE S. H. Dudley Se Small Vau S. H. Dudley Sees End Of Small Vaudeville Theatre In my opinion the small theatres days are numbered and cannot stand much longer and the same applies within the next three years we will be without either, as the public is demanding better, as the public is a higher and better line of attraction. There are few small theatres that will stand but they are located in cities where there is no competition, so people are forced to nominate them. We are located almost in every city where there is a large and beautiful theatre for us, there are two of them, located differently so we can have one good theatre in each city? It would break jumps for the shows and give the managers more profit. Take Washington for an example, we have three large theatres here, all opened in downtown section in a radius of seven blocks. And we have smaller theatres all catering to our people. Well that's too many theatres. Washington and beyond all are packed of them are making any money, and unless there is something done of the way of merging or closing some of the theatres, some book going broke trying to stay on.

Virginia Lliston Shot Bessie Smith Ill Revella Hughes III Harry Scott III MUSIC OTLIGHT A WOMAN MANAGER Changing the remark that what a man can do a woman can do, and make a success of it has been clearly demonstrated by the Miss Isis M. Fountaine who seems to be making good from the time she first took hold of the management of Irvin C. Miller's latest and greatest musical success "Desires Of 1927." Miss Fountaine admits that she has not been in the game, that is as manager for any space of her career, and to be happily that, if you believe you can accomplish what ever you start out to do, you will make a success of this thing, which follows closely on the old adage, "Self Confidence Is Half the Battle." Her motto, refers largely to her own life and success, and this too, so it seems, has never so much as slackened. Miss Fountaine believes that if you make yourself valuable to you you need to want for any thing, but your desires will in ways be in demand by others of whom realize your worth. Who says there is no beauty in the heart of man. How can we account for the great miracle of music? What is something superlatively beautiful in our hearts. God never would have given us the medium of music, when the least musically inclined among us no longer be impressed by the melody of great masters. There is something so soul-stirring about a simple melody well-rendered. Certain selections bring back certain memories to muse us so we may are memories of childhood and its carefree days; to others the memories of friendship; then there are the memories of gay romance; and some melodies reopen the wounds of sadness and all are the tears of memory for those we love who are far away. The Flaming Frontier After years of being prominently featured in big productions Noble Johnson proves that he is still a prominent asset upon the silver sheet. Johnson, one of the most prominent colored actors today will be seen as an Indian chief in the "Flaming Frontier" playing the Regent, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week.

EISENBERG'S THURSDAY al' and You'll Know Why HORTON Stage Hands At Theatres Admire Parts They Play --- It is always the stars of a show that get their names and photographs in the papers, while the poor stage hands, important factors, the lack of credit, go unheralded and unnoticed. Dropring back stage at the Royal Theatre, Thursday afternoon, during the progress of the show, we found the crew busy engaged in work on the street in Harlem to parts unknown, now in we are in a parlor, and the next minute have covered several hundred miles. These rapid changes are due to the speed of the stage hands, who move about swiftly and noiselessly, lest Interrupt whoever is entertaining. Back stage nearly all of the boys have been allotted nicknames, for instance the stage manager, James Kennard called "Gravey" while Watty, Jr., his helper is called "Red." "Gravey" is now a proud daddy and between shifting scenes and grabbing a rest, he loves to swell up his chest and has to answer as to how things are with the show folks, "Gravey's" only kick is that producers and managers seem to have a hard time deciding just where they want a curtain. He says that the show folks as a rule are a happy lot, carefree and orderly. Another scene must be changed and the boys get busy. Mean while before the curtain falls out of the spotlight, overhead lights and footlights. A few feet behind the actor, hid by a curtain, several boys are sweating, symptoms of honest toll. Thunderous anplause arose as the actor quit the stage, but not a hand in mind for training for this other group of workers. When next we get a chance to talk to "Gravey," he tells us that he takes after his dad who was one of the best stage managers in the south. We next make an attempt to reach the follow that pulls those heavy curtains up and lets them down. He is Vincent Smith and termed, theatrically speaking the "Flyman." After a climb to the top we have in among hundreds of ropes and sandbags. Looking down upon the actors, they appear to be the size of dolls. Beside taking care of curtains, Vincent must be sure that his ropes are in good condition at all times to avert any caustics that may be applied and agile. At times he must grab a rope and swing above the heads of the folks on the stage to make some sort of repair. We are shown various ropes, knots and safety devices while trying to catch our breath for our de Down again, backstage reminds us of a strobe, a flash of light in arm, others are whispering softly together, one is trying to perfect a new pose, who still an- We gave on a wonder at the life and the elite society audience to be found in back, the, action, the recent opening of the sixth annual Los Angeles National Horsfering with the actor out front. As Show. we gaze on, a lady comes up and inquires as to-if we are the house tailor, and, on being informed of our identity, blushingly apologized. The stage hands get a chance now and then, but never once have I found one that seemed to really enjoy it. The stage hand seems to dread the lights when he is cast outside his usual role. When we left the theater after watching this host in action, we were convinced that this group that move by electrified, quickly and firmly in a sense as worthy of being called stars as the heralded actor or actress. IN D. C. THEATRES Dewey Wineglass and "The Brown are leading the big musical revue at the Tea Street House this week. Thus how is jazzy, fuzzy, gay, and good dangling, is good dangling.

Harold Lloyd, the leading individual exponent of clean wholesome comedy on the screen today, offers you more for your money than any other star. And in "The Kid Brother" he offers a picture he worked on for nearly a year. A picture he "audience tested" time and again, editing and polishing before passing on for you to laugh at. Let "The Kid Brother" show you a real good time! You'll laugh long and Lloydy "The Kid Knouter" is up to the highest Lloyd standards. That means more than all the superlatives in the world. Rollicking punter -- Frolicking funster-- You'll laugh till you note a hit at this comical youngster. Arlene Lloyd, nearly a year making the "Nid Brother." He made sure it was exactly right. It's there a thousand per cent. "Oh, don't know your own laughing capacity until you've seen this one!" Harold as a mountain boy is a mountain of joy! The entertainment classic of the season. Be there when Lloyd Patterson and the Kingpin of comedies from the King of Comedians! This Harlem By Pearle M. Fisher Jean Toomer's "Subconscious Bunch"—Robeson's "Little bit a Note." Rudolph Fisher's "The Promise Land." Last year I was contently hearing about that electric circle of psychology devotees led by thor-renowned Jean Toomer which met every Friday night to hear it. Toomer expound the mysteries of the Gurjje System of Psychology. If you have read "Nigger Heaven," you have heard the name for Carl Van Vechten say somewhere in those famous or infamous pages that everybody nowadays has been Gurdjefed. So it seemed last year among the Harlemites who follow the latest intellectual fashions. From Brooklyn came Dorothy Peterson, from the Village came Dorothy Harris and Vivian Ward-Stones. Then there was Lere Walrond, and Franklin Nichols and an occasional ditinguished visitor like Charles Johnson of Opportunity, or Franklin Frazier from Atlanta, about a dozen in all. To this chosen few Dean Toomer discoursed on the problems of the sub-conscious state. They learned how to rid themselves of complexes and inhibitions. Their libidos were turned inside out. And how to hear Toomer is in Europe seeking perhaps still other answers to involved problems. Meanwhile, the Gurdjefes must attend to their own complexes and libidos, or else allow the sub-conscious state to remain undisturbed until the return of their high priest. In Music Realms February promises much of interest to music lovers. Taylor Gordon and J. Rosamond Johnson will give a recital at Carnegie Hall, and music lovers will be there to hear them. I have raved over their singing several times in this column, so it is enough to say I shall be among those that I admire. Lawrence Brown are trying about the country still delightful critical audiences with their performance. I run into Paul the other day just back from the Middle West. Incidentally, he is quite enthusiastic about the maestro with whom he is studying. If you haven't heard him recently you have a delightful surprise awaiting you in the future and resonance that he is developing. At The Recital I recall an amusing incident that occurred at one of Paul's earlier concert. Sitting next to me was a bored-looking little man who apparently had been dragged to the court by his rebellious host, against his ingratiation. Paul finished one of his songs in a soft covered time that flatted off into space leaving you wondering if it was not still there. My neighbor roused himself from his lethargy, counting the audience. When the applause died away he blurred out: "Humph! That little bit a note from that great big man." Julius Bledsoe The singer-actor combination has another exponent in Julius Bledsoe who has been giving his voice in the *Provincetown Playhouse* where he holds forth nightly—in "Abraham's Bosom" which, by the way, has been mentioned favorably for the Pulitzer Famous Relative The f. r. (famous relative) descended on the household the other night without warning, with a gang from the laboratory where he earns his daily bread by look-alike resumes, trying to find something new under the sun, if invited him to come over to the Douglass Junior High School and listen to the answers to some simple question like "What is a motto?" I guarantee that he will answer. The guests included an efficient scientist, who, because he is a modest fellow and shuns publicity, shall be called Sandy. Then, there was his wife, Stella, who plays Each and Schopenhauer, and her friend, Bookie, twin sister of Margaret and the husband on the South American trip that resulted in the writing of "Tom, Tom". A young physician of clever jokes completed the quartet. We added a few recruits from Harlem, including two geologists, who also supplied the blonds, much to Sandy's bewilderment. Then we did Harlem. Rudolph Fisher And going back to that relative, —I wonder if he has been spoofing me! I've been buying "Cosmopolitan" for months, looking for it. I don't know if I have appeared about last August. I expected to see — "Fire by Night." —by Rudolph Fischer, strung out on, the cover of the magazine long since, but I have waited in vain for a good book or literature? I know there was a manuscript, I read it. I know there was a check, I saw it. But what has become of it — the manuscript I mean? Could it have proved to be true? Could it have discriminate publics? Could it have perished in its own conflagration? Can't some Kind Reader send a fluffing of this "Column to Ray Long as a gentle reminder? Sisterly indiesly prevents my sending a book to be done to vindicate the budding author's integrity. Anyway, a check's a check for a that... Oh, by the way, there was a January Atlantic月刊, called "The Promised Land." And the Atlantic is the Atlantic you know.

The Free States, who favored the fight and who held the balance of power at that time, insisted that the Americans took the negative side of the argument. Sikl, unable to read never did know what it was all about until that day for the Lascaux theatre, the scene of the battle. Then he learned plenty. The Free States provided both military and military escort. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until the Sikl entourage arrived within a block of the arena. At this point the Republicans had proved barricades and beganiring when the Free States have into interview. Bullets whizzed by Sikl and the Republicans which ensued, which ensued, but the Battler, thinking the boys were staging a demonstration in his honor, stood in a riddling and defted his hat in graded acknowledgment. While the battle was on indoors, the Republicans tried to blow up the moving picture cameras, but bombed the wrong cable. Soldiers with bayonets were posted around the rimside, in every aisle and at all Mike got the decision and the title after twenty rounds, much to the surprise. But when the news of the decision reached the mob outside, it was the signal for another. The battle waxed so warm that everybody inside, including spectators and fighters, were overcome 6 'oclock the following morning. BOXING When Did Boxing Start America is probably supreme in the art of pugilism. Except within a few instances her battles dominate the world. But what part has the colored boxers in the infamous distinction for this country? There is no authentic record of boxing in the early days of the American Revolutionary period and was certain that the art went on. First Colored Battler Bill Richmond, known as the Black Terror, was taken from the United States first year of the American Revolution. He was born at Richmond, on Staten Island, in 1763 and died six-six years later. He was a native of where he was a great favorite and a friend of Lord Byron. Richmond was taken abroad by the general Earl Percy, early in 1777. Molincaux Tom Mollineaux, another great fighter of the early days was from Columbia and became a boxer after the Revolutionary days. His name was taken from the Mollineaux who was born in shave. Mollineaux was the first to claim the heavyweight championship of America. He was a boxing champion who was credited with introducing the art of self-defense in boxing in 1818. One bout was against and he won the second contest. First Champion George Dixon, was probably the first brusser to gain a world championship. He started to fame after he graduated from the featherweight class. While in the latter class he met and defeated some of the greatest fighters of the times. Many state that he was the greatest featherweight of them all. Joe Gans Joe Gans is without a doubt the greatest lightweight boxer ruled in his class for many years and went out of his class many times to meet and defeat the best in classes above him. Joe was a native boxed and too, was far above the average in intelligence he told a friend once concerning his early plight that he was a boy working in a Baltimore fish market when he discovered he had fighting ability a little above the average. From fists fights in the market he moved up a notch by fighting in local clubs. He earned a few small purses and began to get a reputation. Then one night he paid 30 cents to see Bob Fitzsimmons, the great mid-dleweight champion, box in a theatre. Sitting there in the upper gallery he was fascinated by what he saw of Lanky Bob's uncann't skill. He went to see Bob the next day, and then moved to Washington with him. He saw Bob in every show for a week, then his money gave out and he returned to Baltimore to the fish market. End of the Old Master Gans in his early days, did some desperate fighting. It was outside a knotted line, a knot of the time. Dab Hawkins who proved to be a foe for Gans in the early days took a 15 year decision that led to a 1986. Four years later Hawkins met Joe and dropped him for a nine second cunt with the first left hook. They were rematched in 1989 and seconded a knockout in the third round. The finish of Gans' ring career came with the Nelson fight at Frisco on July 19. 1988. That title was the second time the pair had met. The first meeting was in Goldfield, Nevada, where Gans was awarded a forty-second round. The strain of reducing two and one-half pounds for the first battle with Nelson reduced Gans all his past skill. outboxed his back round after round, but skill and cold courage could not supply strength to a dying man. In the seventeenth round Joe was knocked out and Nelson knocked him out. Gans came East and fought a few battles before he died. The end of Gans victorious career in the ring was over. Joe was once the price began telling upon him he looked an old, old man. Johnson Jack Johnson was the first to win the heavyweight title and to win the world title. The world champion never see him. Tommy Burns, Jim Flynn, Moran and Jefferies were among his victims. The record can he complete without mentioning Sam Langford the Boston Terror. Sam never could win the title. He is doubtful if any man of any color could have taken Sam on the up and up when he was at the bottom. Hurry, Wills, George Godrey, "Tiger" Flowers, Buddy Taylor, Young Joe Gans, Young Harry of California, and a score of others were very active at the present time. BY JACK FARRELL, in N. Y.

Whether or not the astute one has an abundance of this world's wampum and to discuss no more, its open to discussion is that the wampum, the fastic folks labor under the impression its another. Anyway Jim Multena of Chicago wielded the last fraces between the two is ready and willing to toss a mere pittance of $100,000 in the pot for a reaper, also Dr. Donna Gordon, a former Wrigley Field years to have them mingle for him while Floyd Fitzsimmons of Benton Harbor also is expressing his interest in staging an extended stint to foster the fraces. But no word of acceptance comes from the camp of Keerns and Walker; they make coy clams claim as a new inunded speaker. Miller Loses Patience Now Walk Miller, punch pilot for the Deacon, has lost his patience waiting while the above mentioned combination have been given him more time to run around, the hide and seek than there are dark complexions in Africa and is just as determined to see the thing through as they are to avoid it. Miller is able to make the thing to happen by bringing things to a showdown in that manner if that is the only way it can be done. Apparently, judging from past performances, that is the one and only way for many moons have passed under the bridge since the last meeting of the Going To Court December 3rd was the date of the festive event which caused more excitement and unfavorable gossip than anything in the sporting line since the Gans-McGovern affair and at that time set for the return engagement was March 3rd. Be that as it may, February has rolled around and the pair are no nearer than the two poles and as long as they, Keans and Walker, are allowed to pursue their ways along the paths of pugilism they will never be any closer, therefore Walk Miller has decided to take a hand in the affair and endeavor to bring things to a head. With a contract signed that will hold in any court, the smiling southerner will start suit that will probably disclose more kick than the Browning-Peaches affair and will be a new wrinkle in the boxing game. In days gone by most affairs of that sort were smoothed out among the boxers, and managers by the commission. However, this one promises to be a big time affair and will be handled in like manner.

The championship called for the best five out of nine. Chicago looked in four already, it looked like a chinch. These were pre-prohibition days and 'Rube came on to Indianapolis. He was driving and had plenty of chameleon and whiskey to celebrate. Charles Shively and Clark were heavy hitters, but old C. C. Bolls built like the rest. Only three of the A. B. C's, the two Taylor brothers and Powell, who were slow men were allowed to beat out slow hit balls to the Chicago infield who threw the ball in the grand stand, over the bases, against the very few trying to catch these fleet Indianapolis players. The scheme worked so well that Indianapolis won four straight games and the chameleon Chicago players didn't get a chance to sport their suits. Fact is, they kept to their rooms after each game, they were beaten so badly. Rube's Foster's wet goods were used up, but not in celebration of a world's championship. After the last game, "Rube" locked himself up in his stateroom, and declined to see anybody. See you to morrow in Chicago, was all he would say.

Plot In Flowers Lominski Bout LOS ANGELES—A double killing was made on the queer decision in the bout between Tiger Flowers and Lee Lominiak here the other night, made by a friend, former middleweight champion, this week. Flowers was a heavy favorite to win the bout, but there was a tote of money to win. It was the prevailing odds. It was difficult to understand why this money was backging Lominiak, for he didn't figure to have much of a chance, but the bout progressed he figured even less. To the surprise of two-thirds of the crowd, Referee Harry Lee raised Lominiak's a sign, which, with a result $10,000 went into the pocket of wise entry. But that wasn't all of the popular fighters announced before the bout that Mickey Walker, who had won the title from Flowers in Chicago by a decision that was just an queer, would meet the winner from the Now a Walker-Lomlinski match match, the making of, is stood that you are to meet next month in a bout that will be bally- hooed from coast to coast as a guest of "Tiger" Flowers.

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder Captain Brown of his own volition, out of his desire to see his own people make progress has donated a cup for the best speller in the world. Along about the year of 1906 Captain Brown was running an engine in a laundry. He went into the steamboat business with a small steamer, "W. J. Newville". This steamboat he has now dismantled and the "Starlight" a much finer and larger boat carrying excursionists down the bay to Brown's Grove. Through difficulties he has made success. He has had an aim in life. Not only has he done something for himself but he has done some excellent things for the race. Baltimore has higher respect for its business man because Captain Brown has lived and worked here. The Liberian Church Foreign support and control of religious organizations in Liberia. West Africa, was presaged by President C. B. D. King's annual message to the Liberian Congress. Copies of the message which became available through the office of Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian consul general, were first published in the AFRO-AMERICAN three weeks ago and created a sensation throughout the country. President King's remarks, however, should create no uneasiness, if not necessarily. "Every nation," says the President, "like every individual must know God for himself. The churches in Liberia in their awakening to national and racial control must and will support along the same lines as churches in other countries. The control of foreign religious bodies must be withdrawn as well as their financial support from the churches in Liberia. Liberia, says the President, realizes the income and political freedom of religious servitude. President's message, however, merely marks the trend of public opinion. The legislature has passed no new laws barring alien missionaries and clergy. Eventually, of course, this will be done and Liberia will require all clergymen, bishops and others connected with its church to be native. A similar step was taken by Mexico, our sister republic south of Rio Grande this year and number of foreign Catholic bishops and clergy were required to leave the While we commend President King and the Liberian people for their independence in this matter, we question their wise stewardship. If the missionaries in Africa were busy only with the work we would agree with President King that the second Liberian were left to find God for itself the better. As a matter of fact, practically all of the educational work in republic is carried on by these missionaries. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones report of 1921 shows only 185 children in school in Liberia. All of them are enrolled in elementary schools. The government's appropriation for education that year was $737.53. Dr. Jones estimated that there were 10,000 of civilized parents, 200,000 to 400,000 children of native parents eligible or of select The best figures available indicate that allen denominations are spending $260,000 every year in missionary work in Liberia. Most of this course, is for the schools. President King in his message recognizes the value of the missionary work in his own country. He declared: "As in people, we Liberans are the representative of the religious guidance and assistance which we have received in the past from our foreign spiritual leaders. We recognize the immeasurable benefits which have accrued to us therefrom. We deep, loud and reverberating sounds of the great bell of time announcing the fact that Liberia is Liberia's spiritual freedom and religious independence. To this call of freedom every true and patriotic Liberian must rejoice in faith or creed." What Party? Prominent citizens presented a petition signed by 500 persons at the City Hall Tuesday urging Mayor Howard Jackson to run again for office. Mayor Jackson, a democrat, hos made good of the city's head. The president expresses the sincere conviction of thinking voters. If the governor and those who share his confidence at the state capitol were as eager for the progress and welfare of the whole people as Mayor Jackson's administration, there would be no doubt about manpower on thousands of intelligent black supporters. And why not? What's a party, nama in these days? Page Sixteen CO-AMERICAN Welfare and the Square Deal Afro-American Building, 628 N. Eutaw RO-AMERICAN COMPANY. and Publisher, 1896 to 1922 D.

Its 12 typed pages constitute a flamboyant but futile attempt to placate public resentment against one of the worst outrages in the history of our educational system. Here is a detective agency hired by anonymous parties descending with lawyers upon a university campus and demanding that they be permitted to make an investigation of its affairs. It is against the worst. Newspapers were informed that the university was in wretched shape; that its president was incapable. Its chancellor an embezzler; that inefficiency and graft prevailed. Now Mr. Brusseaux reports no graft at Wilberforce; the president is capable, the chancellor is not a grafter, in fact he has used his own fund to unify university; to bookkeeping system is modern and efficient. Further the report shows Wilberforce is worth today a million dollars more than it was three years ago when it had 27 college students. Today it has 256—15 teachers and is worth $1,600,000. Wilberforce is in the position of a useful citizen who has been set upon in the dead of night by detectives, sandbagged, thrown in fall, accused of horrifying crimes and eventually released with the excuse that the detectives that hit him a highwayman, anonymous mischief makers can hide behind a detective agency in a matter like this. no institution is safe no matter how large or how efficient. Keep On Praying At the suggestion of Mr. Emory Smith, alumni secretary of Howard University some $300 basketball fans assembled in the Howard University gym for a game the other day, stood for a moment in silent tribute to the white Baylor University. Waco Texas, students, who wore a uniform in athletic convoy to play a basketball game. In view of the fact that Baylor University is supported in part by the funds that ought to go to Texas colored colleges and as the Philadelphia Tribune wisely remarked, "no colored student can attend Baylor University, or play a game with that school." it's to be wondered why the prayers for this Dixie University unless Howard planned to follow the biblical injunction praying for those who dospitiously ask. However, if your basketball games are to be turned into prayer meetings, we suggest that each team pray for the other and let it go at that. Marines In Haiti The Senate turned down again last week the resolution of Senator Wm. H. King, Democrat, of Utah to withdraw U. S. Marines from Haiti and leave the Haitian people the control of their government. The resolution was in the form of an amendment to the navy appropriation bill which provided that no part of the funds should be used to keep marines in Haiti. The King has introduced this same amendment in Congress for several years. Each time he is voted down by republicans whose eyes are on American capital which has invested millions in Haiti's fertile fields. Even senators like Lenropt (Rep. Wisconsin) and Hale, Rep. Maine) put up the silly objection that marines were in Haiti to protect U. S. lives and property. The rape of Haiti is not a party issue, as he was begun under Wilson and continues under his republican processors. It's a measure like the Dyer-Anti lynching bill which cannot secure a majority vote in Congress because those it would benefit are black. Filth Jack Goldberg knows how to stage shows. If he didn't have "I-11" and "Watermelons" would not be paying propositions on the Columbia Burlesque.

The "Castor Oil" and Nightingale" jokes sprung in a Baltimore audience this week have no place on any stage.

Lest it seems hazy let us be reminded that all of this hurrah is about a chemical in medical and chemical books along with stitching, turpentine, and a host of other useful drugs, such as BETA CAROTIDINE AND VALABLE USES AS DRUGS, BUT NOT NEEDED IN NORMAL HUMAN BODIES. The real question is how to allow a normal well person. The most persistent wets will have to admit that considered purely as a chemical, alcohol or amine is symptomatic indication. It is a high powered stimulant; it whips up the heart, even a tired exhausted heart, like a bruise; it whips up an overloaded horse. If you are sick and need it, take it; but why should states take it? It is not selfish go getters want; to make normal young men and women regard it as a beverage upon which their human rights de Like cocaine, which also has some mighty good uses and can be harmful, it makes men and women drunk.

Deacons and officials of the local Majority Baptist churches of that city will officially meet this week to end a year ago, and into which have been enriched enough episodes of hate, love, sorrow, even assassination, some of our young authors buzzing around Harlem's white lights enough courageous material for a book of writing. Thirty years ago, when a Methodist was a Methodist and a Baptist a Baptist, Mt. Morish Baptist church dominated the life of the South side of this city, where it held 12,000 white folk, and the Silver Hill Methodist church held forth on the north side. From The Country To Mt. Morrah's pulpit came a young man from the country, more than familiar social tablier of the South where the savvy Nordic fused his blood into the race it again in man's strange ways. His name was G. F. Mills, and like John from the Wilderness, he came preacher. Heaven and curses upon the inconsistent white men and women who through a one sided missegenation passed through the battles through blood into the race and then lynched them because this very spirit and ambition perhaps nowhere in all these United States had a preacher a more devoted following. This man buggy into the public square of Spartanburg, gather a crowd of colored men in defiance of white men and men who were out punishment to two white men who had criminally abused two colored girls. Split Came But his stinging personal tirades from the pulpit soon brought power to the church and the inevitable split came. One Sunday the factions doctor barred the church with their pastor barred by injunction, a sister literally kicked another preacher out of the pulpit and an officer then a hundred in the police station and started a bitter feud. Two churches mursed the hatred. sweethearts, husbands, wives and kni split, some of them carrying their hatreds into their church. In the name of the Meek and and Lowly Nazarine every Sun minister and every minister mounted the rostrums of the two churches and perpetuated the revival of the cloak of bushes one day and hung himself as a result of a brooding and intense wont to the imam aslum at Columbia and one man to the State penthouse of that foul. Good Religion And Bad You will wonder that such fate could come out of a church affair, but there is good religion and a strong sense of the masses. The worst religion is that which lift the selfish desires of its leaders above the interests of the masses and split. They always tear the heart out of the religious organization and set in motion hatreds. You don't find in cities hats growing out of saloon against saloon; dance hall against dance hall or immortality against immortality. It is in the churches; sanctums where brotherly love is supposed to dominate and posed to hover THAT YOU FIND HATREDS AND CONTENTIONS KEPT ALIVE IN HARMONIZATION AND AVIARICE. Prize Winner Prize Winner (P. N. S.) Again New York State steps into the limelight of educational fairness and justice, without regard to color. This time it was a budding colored girl, Martha Washington who was honored b the New York schools with a prize of $150, as being the most deserving girl in the mid-year graduating classes of the Manhattan public schools. The little prize winner is a missile of fourteen years, and led her class at Public School 119 for several years. Miss Washington pursued her studies, led her school, and won the coveted prize in the face of the handicap of defective eyesight which has been under constant treatment. This award, closely following the Wallington Self-Reliance award of $100 at White Plains, NY, typifies the Empire State as being f�est of the fair in the distribution of its public benefits.

To the Editor: I am very well pleased with the presentation of the Sabbath question held at Ames A. M. E. Church on Sunday, January 30th. My opponent received 14 more votes than I, but when one took an inconsistent answer, that were less than one hundred Sabbath keepers, it is strange that the affirmative did not get an overwhelming response. Nearly one hundred Sunday observers did not vote at all; which I am sure were convinced that the negative did not get an overwhelming response. I still voted $1,000 to any one who can prove from the Bible that Sunday is the right Sabbath. M. S. Bannfield Liberian Student at Falks says His Country is Rapidly Passing Into Hands Of Capitalists. In the February 5 issue of the AFRO. Masses. Ayres and Houston expressed what they believed to be the truth about the role that say that Mr. Ayres knew the facts, and Mr. J. Marceau Houston is either ignorant of his government, or tried to distort the facts, to minimize that the country is slowly but indisputably passing into the hands of capitalists. My friend will admit that we entered these colleges for three reasons: to find the truth; to find the truth; to be broad and firm in facing the truth; and to be strong enough to make the sacrifices that will be required in facing the truth. We have those responsible. It is too late now for any subterfuge. It is a matter of years when we shall return to live in the city, just consider the greet, laziness and incompetency.

"Does a man dance first with his wife or with his hostess?" asks a puzzled man. Enquires in large, presentable manner in smaller places. Even circles reflect different customs. Husbands and wives look on a social affair as an occasion for greetings, not for sticking together. At dinner they are separated as far as possible, giving both chance and opportunity to not and not as halves of the "never-to-be-divided" whole. At a dance they should both have people to dance with, and themselves to each other. Otherwise, it appears that they do not know many people, or might as well have enjoyed each other's society at all times, and not to see others, not to be together. But if the pair know few people they naturally dance together. But once once or twice during the evening, but it need not be the first dance.

White Folk Write Book On Negroes White Folk Write Book On Negroes (Review of Dow's "Negro in American Life" by Eugene Gordon in "Opportunity Magazine"). Whether it is an outcropping of prejudice or a deliberate ignoring of the Negro is a poignant poem from the works of Dunbar, Cullen. Claudo McKay, James Woldon Johnson and Joshua H. Jones, queries: Why should these critics a model and bitter compaint find such general expression in the more recent Negro poets? He answers gibby: "Nearly all of the Negro poets are interested in the material concerning the Negro novelists and historians comes directly, word for word, from the Negro Year Book. Those who it is advised to procure a copy. His is ignorance of the Negro press in characteristic. According to his valuation the Crisis is the leading magazine of the Negro world. P."

'She Is Not White.' said the Pullman porter. 'Don't care. I said I want to come somewhere. I am not very tired. Such a hubbub! Such a commotion! I sat on my bag and waited. By and by they put me in the white car.' She laughed, and then I put my helmet on. Then your race problem would be all solved, yes?" It appears from the above interesting but rather pathetic incident that a colored people—except natives—are to the wealth of the Nation, who with unalloyed patriotism fight her battles at home and abroad, who enjoy every comfort and embrace allusions—can enjoy every comfort, use of every facility and embrace every opportunity that the great country affords. ALL BUT THE NEGRO. Measure Of Man By R. A. ADAMS, P. N. S. May you be may your creed, Your lineage, or breed, If in your heart you right, Your circumstances despite, You are a man!

(Columbian Press Burcan) WASHINGTON—On in Missouri is colored member of the legislature recently announced that he is in favor of an Equal Rights Bill for the state, and it is reported by the Los Angeles Times that the "Talmit-Time-Year" bunch of colored professional progressors instructors. In Maryland however, an Inter-Rail Commission, composed of some of the colored and white men in the state has submitted a report to Governor Rick Santorum which the repeal of "Jim Crow" railroad legislation was strongly and publicly urged. The Commission also made other recommendations pertaining to agricultural education and greatly to improve the conditions under which the citizens of both races in that state now live. In Maryland all members of the "Daughters of the Talmit-Time-Year Club" were baptized by immersion, some years ago, in a tank filled with a volatile liquid, used for the immersion. They are otherwise known as chloroform. (Raleigh, N. C. News & Observer.) One of the familiar figures in the senate is to be found in that servitor par excellence. Nick Blount. This session is the sixth consecutive time he has been there. Nick is a member of the senate, a citizen in Raleigh, and has a manner about him, that lends a dignity to the background of the upper house. In him is seen the type peculiar to Southern white men who have been written it is the presence of those like him that have served to keep high the thoughts and conduct of Southern white men for generations. Successive and polite manners of attendants like Nick are an incentive to the best in white men, and helps to keep them at their best.

The Week's Best Story BY WILLIAM PICKENS (The American Aesop) SUBSTANTIALLY CORRECT Early in the twentieth century they enacted a new constitution in a southern state. Some said it was passable, some said it was not, the right of registration being limited by educational tests and other tests. At any rate in one city they had decided to "test" and register only 15 Negroes who met certain other qualification. And when the 17th Negro, a farmer, came up to register, they asked him the list of reasonable questions, and he answered them. The register to get rid of this 17th Negro, and so he stepped to the back of the office and conferred with a local politician: "Byingo! this 11th Negro has answered the questions as well as the others did. What am I to do with him?" "Go out there," said the resourceful man, "and ask him what is a test of habes corpus ad testificandum. That ought to stump him." When he was asked the question, the Negro probed to be resourceful also in his answer. "As-is-boss, you are a jes' a special kinder 'rangement an devices to keep a Negro vom votin'." Heard and Seen In Baltimore By Ralph X::hews A man who struck a boy with an automobile sentence himself to three days in jail that he didn't drink when arraigned in court. If this precedent is followed we will soon have the jails overcrowded with ourselves. The judge told him that every man was his own policeman. Now you will have to pay yourself hush money everytime you take a drink. It will be mighty embarrassing to let yourself catch you making home brew in the cellar. There is one advantage of being our own booty owner, you must least know what you are drinking. Of course, it will be monotonous to let yourself snorting, around all the things you like. Our adult of being arrested over whiche you are alone. As your own judge you won't inflict as heavy a sentence as some guy you never saw before. And if you do you may take pity on your self when you have served half of what yourself out for good behavior. And even if you have to impose the death penalty you can sign a reprieve at the last minute. Or course it would be pricy tough if you didn't know how to write. If this is carried out to the fullest extent you might find yourself hawking the other go out and if he talks back you can lock him up for acting discourteous to an officer. If two are all pollenemone, there cannot be any objection every body carrying blackpacks and espantons. Or course you couldn't expect to draw a pension when you got too old for active service. If you catch yourself breaking the law and don't do your duty you are liable to be discharged from the force. This would be a stigma on your own family because any man you might fit in be a policeman isn't for anything. You might however be accepted in the fire department and if you can't make out there you can try to make out the building. They are feature of the fire department is you have to wear red flannel underwear. The salary you get would hardly compensate you for this sacrifice. If you are too low and degraded in the fire department you may be the only thing left to run for or. You are at least sure of two votes; yours and your own. But if you take a chance in these days of crooked politics you might double-cross yourself and vote for the guy who pays you the most money. It would be a dirty trick if right now you were to tell something on yourself that you thought nobody knew but you. This business of being your own policeman could be applied to other walks of life. If you are your own preacher you can go to sleep in the building of your own car and it won't make much difference. It would be too much to expect however that your wife would give you just as choice a part of the chicken as she would give the parson. As your own doctor you could write your own prescriptions and would have to bitter modi- tion you would have to be a con- tortorist to give yourself a chiro- pturic treatment. As your own undertaker — well, it's for just such emergencies that they put more than one person on earth. Wilson's Maid By Ernest Rice McKinney—P.N.S. Now it has been told. We know now, what was the cause of Wood- ford's death. Why Henry Cabot Lodge et. al. kicked the League of Nations out of the Senate, why Mr. Wilson lock- ed the Senate in place, usually and collectively and why this user of descriptive vivid alectives, that logan maker, got paralysis and mrs. Jaffray — former White House housekeeper — has told it all in a series of articles in Cosmopolitan. Mrs. Jaffray says that when some discuss that Paris there was some discussion maid should be taken. Mrs. Wilson insisted that she go as this some time. When the maid was so proclaimed by the Queen of England in conversation, she is reported to have replied to a certain question, to the Queen, "You bet they is, Queen." This sort of language, of course, was a breach of court eliquette. Mrs. Mifray says: 'this and the other little tale to President Wilson and he had insisted that she (the maid) was to be sent on her way when they got there.' There you have it; this insignificant maid was the cause of all Mr. Wilson's troubles. This maid may become one of the shining lights Kelly Miller Says Now is the time for the colored leaders to get busy, to impress whatever influence they may upon the public mind in behalf of constitutional integrity. Let the newspapers, pulpits, politicians and leaders in all walks of life preach and proclaim the righteous enforcement of law. If we wait until the delegates are chosen and the nominations are made, then there is nothing left but to follow the lead that has been already set. Are You Wet Or Dry? The fight is on. The fat has been thrown into the fire. The political pot is collapsing. The pot has to longer be advocated. Every alert citizen must take sides, one way or the other. History repeats itself. are remaining. The timid citizen avoided taking sides as long as possible. There was vacillation with the shifting white edge. But finally, when the abolitionists forced the issue to the sharp opposibility of right and wrong, they forged an indictment for indictment. The prohibition issue has now reached that focus. The Grand Old Party has tried to wage a war against the vain hope that they could force the onus of the issue on their Democratic persuasion, and sniffing the battle afar off. Butler's Challenge But just now Nicholas Murray Butler steps into the arena, and challenges the Grand Old Party to choose the Governor of American Educators. His educational influence reaches beyond the confines of the classroom and college walls, extends to the people in public and political affairs in the way. he thinks, they should go, and thereby fulfills his highest function as an educator. he is to greatly regretted that, in the present instance, he has thrown the weight of his mighty influence on the negotiation process. All must commend his courage while regretting his alignment with the forces' reaction. He is however, consistent with his reactionary philosophy. he is recalled, that in 1912, when the reactionary wing of the Republican party came out a bad third in the presidential election, Butler who threw himself into the breach as first lieutenant of a forlorn cause. The vice presidential candidate died between the election and the casting of Tatt and his cause had been thoroughly repudiated by the Ade with all of the prestige of his great name and eminent position. He was also accepting the designation to show his loyalty to a lost reactionary cause. Such devotion both destruction and commands admiration. Tradition Dr. Butler gently suggests to President Coolidge to step aside and make room for another of his friends. He then shows his reactionary tendency when he insists that the third term argument would tend to his defeat at the polls, even if he had been the president. The tradition of the day of George Washington has little force on the practical American political mind of so many. Revout could have been triumphantly renominated and elected, had he not previously disqualified himself by a too tasty character. Revout would enable his health held out to enable him to put across his League of Nations as he undoubtedly would have done. He would have been defeated by the Kluxian health rage and elected for three full terms. Coolidge Genius President Coolidge possesses genius for avoiding controverted ethical issues. He went through a series of trials, including Kluxian rage in all of the sinister and diabolical implications. No one knows until this hour, by any catagoric declaration in sympathy with their program. The prohibition issue has been to the fore during the past four years since he became President, and yet his position is not decoded. He has been accused of wards the colored race, which he has evinced by many a friendly reference, but if he has uttered one word concerning his purpose as to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, it has escaped the attention of the present writer. Dr. Butler believes that victory for the Republican cause demands the nomination of an unmistakable wet. Lion Of Idaho The challenge is no sooner thrown down, than it is taken up and debated in Idaho. The doughy Senate deares that the success of a Republican party does not wait up until the midterm, however eminent, but upon the clearly expressed will of the great majority of voters, the Senate has begun to enter into joint debate with the eminent educator, and bring the issue squarely before the electorate, chosen to carry out their imperialism. The contest of wit between Butler and Borah will assume the importance of the Lincoln-Douglas debate the slavery issue generations ago. The hoan expouses the cause of prohibition, not so much as an abstract principle, but because it is an organic part of the law. The Democratic party is vided by this great issue. The agricultured South is arrayed against the industrial East. The East is totally lost to the Democratic Union unless there is to be a reformation of alignment politically. 18th Amendment Repeal Unthinkable Now is the time for the average American voter to impress his own belief and conviction upon the nominating convention. Delegation to the nominating convention must elect the will of those who send them. If the people want to resind the Eighteenth Amendment to do so. If they want the president enforced it their duty to put in power a party and a president who will enforce it. It is on the side of the law on the technical grounds, merely because it is the law, and quite another thing to unhold the law because you believe the American people are in earnest. It is not to make the nation dry, then they should elect a president who, not merely gives his passive consent believes in it with all of his heart. ♦ Rescinding Unthinkable The rescinding of this amendment is all but unthinkable. It restricts thirty-six state legislatures both houses to undo this or any other law, so sober-minded persons believe it is possible. The remaining aliens are that the law must be amended or ignored. Which shall it be? Do Americans can people wish to appear in their own eyes or in the eyes of the nation which regard its fundamental law as a scrap of paper? Let me now apply the case to the special situation and circumstances we would afford to array ourselves on the side of lawlessness? Personally, if I were a wet by personal law advocate we would advocate prohibition as policy. I cannot see how we can do otherwise without stultifying our own society and have written our own policies from the outset frequently on this question there is little that is fresh to say. Our political sagittacus upon the enforcement of the law. All of our contention is to the fact. We appeal to the conscience upon the force to enforce our own constitution violates its own made, and in which we had no direct hand in the making. We join in the moral plea that the constitution overrides the constitution in all our own fundamental law. We denounce the South, in all of the moods and tensions of our country, and overrides the constitution in all our own effect our own interests. Now how can we, without self-stultification, the violation of that part of the organic law calculated to keep the nation dry? **Warning** Let me put the Negro on warning against the danger of getting into trouble the danger of getting habit of tampering with the Constitution. The rescindment of one amendment leads easily to the rescindment of others. The curtailment of Fourteenth Amendment finds life or no support in contemporaneous times, although it is ignored, yet is remaining reminder that it might some day be made effective. It would be Sixteenth Amendment than the Eighteenth. It is an unwise philosophy that would lead to the rescindment of a constitution because it is difficult to enforce. Commandments have never been fully enforced but who would be enough to advocate their repeal? In Public Mind I am not simple minded enough to suppose that the enforcement of Eighteenth Amendment would lead to the observance of the Fourteenth Amendment. I know that they are widely separated in the public present. Mr. McAdobe calls New York and Maryland disliked because they Even if we succeed in convincing the Republican party of the Republican party of the Democratic party of committing and electing a dry Prominent and no assurance that he will try to uphold those amendments which are not in harm with contemplation, public thought and feeling. But he is, in fact, a parent that laxity of attitude on one part of the Constitution leads to laxity of attitude towards other parts. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments would be pushed much further towards the back part of the public consciousness. The Eighteenth Amendment meets the Eighteenth Amendment proval of the American electorate and especially if with the assistance of Negro votes. Now Is The Time Now is the time for the coloredaders to get busy, to impress the public with the may appear on the public mind in the constitutional intersity. Let the newspapers, pulpits, politicians and leaders walk all walks of life preach the proclamation of righteous enforcement of law. If we wait until the delegates are chosen and the nomination are made, then there is nothing to be done to follow the lead that has been set. But now we may, to some slight extent, help to set the lead PEONAGE (From The Nation) Peonage and lynching are blood brothers. A federal grand jury has indicted inmates against two Mississippi plantations for the peonage law, and the gation in that State and in Louisiana has only just begun. The gation is simple and offensive. Negro tenant farmers have no money. Gation stores are ready to furnish credit, payment for goods purchased made out of the proceeds of the crop, and when the season is over the Negro finds that he owes the plantation-owner money which he must out in work the following year. Negroes who protest are, if the owner is a polite and generous-hearted fellow, kicked quietly out of the plantation, and sent home, has been known to result from too much temerity. The black man is illiterate, impoverished, and ignorant of his civil rights, and from this sort of exploitation. And lynching is only one step away. Editors Can'tErr When a plumber makes a mistake, he charges twice for it. When a lawyer makes a mistake, he just has a chance to try the case all over again. When a carpenter makes a mistake, it's just what he expected. When a doctor makes a mistake he buries it. When a judge makes a mistake, it becomes the law the land. When a lawyer makes a mistake, nobody knows the difference. But when the editor makes a mistake—good-night!

Just as Paderewski is a gifted piano player, or Roland Hayes a marvelous singer, so it seems the colored people of Maryland give gifted cooks. But something has evidently gone wrong. Those seem wonderful cooks who have been looking for other night I was hungry on Pennsylvania avenue. Have you ever seen a cook who has been true, dear Reader? Forced by circumstances to eat away from home I started from Laurets street and began looking for some where to eat. Ple's Feet Now maybe I am nimicky but for me to enjoy food it must look appetizing. Great gobs and hunks of goodies I have appealed to. Goodies I have appealed to. I approach a window, and was greeted by a heaping platter of pigs' feet, cold and stiff — in grease. A veritable little mountain of pigs' extremities. The pigs' feet was flanked by a dish of light brown fish on the left and a depressed looking custard pie on the right. Strenge at intervals along the edge, which I think look horrible when they have cooled and shrunken in places. Now I hold that pigs' feet ought to be surprizeful and one is so entranced by the smell that he can forget where they once abode, but a cold pig's foot is a certain cure for appetite. So I walked sadly away and saw a brightly lighted and attractive hope. Hopefully I went over but it turned out on to a bakery. It was a very clean, very clean tempting place it was. But I needed more substantial fare so I wendled my way down the street. I wouldn't risk in a Greek restaurant under certain circumstances, Eagerly I glanced into every window only to be met by an amnesiac looking fish or stiffening chops, or more plattered fish or a whimsical what-do-you-callens, inner tubes displayed for the public! "Ye gods! I cried. 'Is there no food in all this place that won't cause you to turn into disasters.' In several patrons户 were eating but one glance at the thick chipped china and doubtful cutlery, (with black handles) made me turn away with a shudder. I saw a food but went to the other extreme and displayed some empty fly-specked oyster boxes that were so old and yellow that I was afraid of getting offerer than the decorations. Indeed those shops had a dead unchanged look so I went on. On and on for weary blocks. My time was up I had to go to another meeting, when suddenly malignant fists released on me I found I was Fried Chicken. Clean brightly lighted and with a beautiful p.r.rief inside the window. True the window display was food, and to my mind too much but gentle mueses I have enjoyed. Maryland's crowning glory the real flag of the Free State, the only food Maryland ought to eat, and many success for the propeller of this restaurant. The chicken in his window was so well-cooked that it did not offend the eye. It deserved an artistic A Short Love Story By Marie Proctor "Who was the guy who wrote something about what puzzled him? What was it? A man with a mould?" Kiplin, wasn't it, or may be Tennison? Anyway that guy didn't know what he was talkin' about! And to prove it I tell you "Member way back in 16' fce the U. S. A mixed herself up in Well, there wasn't a likelier fellow than Jim. Him's none, too. Looked like a West Indian, or one of them foreign guys. Looks like he was hung out. This is all except Clara Wells, and no body knew what she thought. Ever a girl was first that you had all the young fellows wild over her, and a lot of the older ones too. Prettlest looking girl you ever saw, and her looks. One of them little things, sweet as honey, but flockle as the wind. Met her at a dance one night, and fell for we could warm him. You see, we didn't bother to warn the other fellows Clara fitted with, and thought that if they got burnt it was their own fault. But Jim—he was different. So doggeded him, and I thought he fool of him, and he was a goner before we knew it. "As I said before, he fell, and hard, too. He totally fall harder in the other kind. He fell from the very first and next thing we knew he was rushin' her. One or two of us fellows, but at the first word he shut us like a clam, and give us mind-'your-own - business-and-11-mind-mine' look of his. Once on he walked away without lesions. "After awhile we stopped trying to warn him, and decided to let him find out for himself. We thought he would see the real good in Jim, and change. "Then the U. S. entered the war, and us fellows were too busy enlisting to worry about poor old Jim. We had to wait the next time we saw him it was at a party Jessie Brown gave for us just before we left for training camp, and I tell you, man, the next time we saw him he looked years older, and his eyes reminded me of a dog's that I had to shoot once to put out of his misery. After awhile Jim left the room, and I thought he had gone outside for a smoke or something, so I went in another room to look at some pictures Jessie had taken of him. He was a bay window there, screened off with curtains, and I took the pictures to the window to see them the second time Jim came in. After I thought he was alone, until I hard him up saying something, what he said. But I heard the answer, an Chew Tells restaurants Psylvania Avenue To A Meal of Cold Pig's Feet ays Maybelle Chew treatment such as the modistes are now giving to women's clothes. Just one superlative good looking gown to a window. Just one of those chic- ness glass entwined on a platter surrounded with a crisp bunch of parsley and the whole under a glass bell to emphasize its wondrous goodness. Art that would be the best culinary triumph. And that what we ought to see in every colored restaurant. For over two hundred years we have been known as the house patrons of the great French men and women have carried their colored cooks to the capital of Europe to show them real cooking, and yet today, the descendants of these places have become chilliers as their masterpieces. Too many people are going into the restaurant business on the assumption that all people want is something to eat. People want to eat, but they want to eat in the cunteurs who cater to the gross in appetite help to keep the race down. They deserve failure and ought to be outlawed. How can a man think of beauty to be put on beans and chillings. Or how can it appeal to a man's higher emotions when he feels in him the urge to root brought on by hog noses. It can't be done. No less important than the preparation of food is the garnishing and serving. A tepid cup of tea will serve a meal. A most succulent fried fish and a steak without a single sprig of parsley to divert the eye from the rapidly congealing grease gravy will sour the disposition of the dish, particularly, but a cup so thick that it can't stretch my lips across it, full as they are, always puts me on a hard hand, coupled with a rusty knife of the same persuasion, is as painful to me as a curbullace. Paper napkins do save one the paper serving who used it host, but it seems to me that eighty for a dime is cheap enough to change them when they get limp and fly specked. One may say why not go over one more on Druid Hill avenue. There are some restaurants there. Yes, I know it. About three and one of those displays food that is most delicious is the standard of excellence it should be. The whole thing is we need better restaurants. I'm for more and BETTER lunch rooms. Where else would those men eat? houses eat, or the poor bachelors find sustenance? But there oughta be a law that the lunch rooms serve good food for our people have taken to killing their wives, and sweethearts. A man filled up the kitchen of all the restaurants serve is all ready to explode. No wonder that the one drink of "corn" makes them wild. The "corn" is one of the bomb. The bomb. The food is the bomb. The years ago when colored people ate at home you seldom heard of a man killing you.

And a minute later I was glad I had stayed! For he put his arm around her and said, then he said, in his old quiet way. "I told you 'no once, Jim. Why do you keep bothering me about it?

EXTRA SPARE TIME MONEY Men and Women If interested send stamp to NATIONAL SERVICE BUREAU Pontiac, Michigan From A Woman's Viewpoint By LILIAN LOTTIER "FLAPPER MOTHERS" AND "PREACHERS" Last week some one asked me to write an article on "flapper mothers," and this week I was asked to lambast them. I interested me and set me to thinking. One interesting feature about the first request is that it was made by a mature person and not by a flapper eager to learn. Interesting for criticising youth so severely. Its interesting because its indicative of the fact that some of us at least are beginning to consider the quilt howling so much about the "mote" in the eye of the young folks. Of course, by "flapper mothers" you'll understand we mean the older women. Simply imagine they are cheating Old Father Time and squeezing out a second youth by indulging in all the excesses of the most brunish adolescent. They dress in the most youthful clothes and pet. They are the widest of the wild at parties, and their main objective in life seems to be to prove themselves as utterly as those twenty years younger. Yes, much could be said about "chaper mothers", but I am not saying now. I'm much more confident that we are beginning to see that much of the blame for the younger generation lies upon the shoulders of the older kids. I have struck this note before, and doubtless I shall strike it again. It is my firm belief that the physician doesn't prescribe a disease, but instead studies the causes and works on them. And this is the only effective method for social life. Human nature generally follows the lines of best restraint, howl about what young folks are doing and thinking than it is to search for the reason and see just how much we ours Of course, we can console ourselves with the knowledge that that man was a child of other periods of the world's history, for I read the other day that the ancient Code of Hammurabi was 252 B.C. Proclaims, among other matters, "that times were not what they used to be, for the young people had forsaken the past." Now, isn't that a joke?

EDITOR'S NOTE—"Within Prison Welfare" the installment of which is published under and training who for obvious reasons is with-holding his real identity, and who due to his ability served (during a course of nearly ten years) in high positions (while an inmate) some of which have never been filled by any other inmate of any race.

I was taken into the record clerk's office, registered and instructed to wait nights in cabarres, etc., a pleasure that no paroled man should induce in much less one who was holding a position where his every hour of jail scores of identical ones. If at any time I should have exercised an abundance of will-power, I would have been able to walk while of course I resented it at that time I can now see that they were perfectly justified in returning me to in prison before the wild life that I was again acquainted with me to undertake the definite trouble. Mr. Arnold, the road superintendent, did not feel that I had committed any offense or had been caught in any misdemeasure and that I had been drastic and he immediately got in. Home Education Mary S. Stover Under the title, "Daydreams," our local paper has been running one of them the lad is represented as having brought home a very scrawny, unkempt dog. Both the little sister beam their welcome while mother declares that of course he may keep the stray! Who can say how many children will have some real dog, only to meet with pathetic disillusionment? Indeed that picture suggests one of the major tragedies of children in our community, that the might always be lightened, if not averted, by thoughtless and sympathy. Few homes can extend hospitality to every animal the children could possibly savour, that might always be difficult to convince a boy or girl of the reasonableness of our objectives. They do not even understand the measer limits of a city apartment or the exertions of landlord, janitor and fellow tenants. What, to them, would they avoid dirt, germ and disease? The very fact that children view the matter so differently should be a challenge to our sympathy and the ability to understand the fish of cost and effort to meet fittingly some situation that will leave with impulse. While we fall short to recognize the significance of moments that are destined to hold a large place in their memories, we have forgotten too much. We look at things through dull, grown up spectacles and it is the fresh vision of youth that is needed. Children cannot shift to the viewpoint of maturity. We know by observation, if not by personal experience, how much a child can understand the dog or cat appeals also to innate childish chivalry, so that the discussion of the creature's fate be understood, it as such and curb any crying the same sort of blues they cried over four thousand years, does it? The second request came from a man. He was quite wrought up over the tendency of so many modern-day preachers to use their holy office for personal gain and aggrandizement, with high time to call a halt to some of the flairgent abuses common to an increasingly large number of our churches. I had to agree, but man said, but this isn't the lambasting article that he wanted me to write. Just now I'm confining my interest to when his attitude and plenty of same attitude—seems to indicate. It's true that criticism is something one must be careful about. One must know how to wheat. All of it, and especially when the church is the target, doesn't proceed from pure motives. But on the other hand, much of the revolt of the younger generation is well Much of this criticism indicates that with the clearlightened, from Missouri youth of to-day practice another—not even the man in the pulpit with his cloak of religion. And if religion is going to be principal and product of everything which departs from the teachings of its founder. To my mind, in many cases, it shows interest. Especially when the men join the chorus. I have a notion that certain excesses wouldn't be noticeable to-day if men had formed a larger part of the congregations of or been so much of this "prescription-worship" which, in some cases, ranks higher than the worship of God. Woman, with her emotionalism a hasn't always used good judgment. To her, "the king can do no wrong," and that state of affairs leads to the strong temptation to lead the good, sisters around So. it is a good thing for the men to wake up and help get matters on a safe, sound basis. And every intelligent woman with the welfare of the church at heart will lend intelligent assistance. After all, you know a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and the church-chain has many weak links. So, it is up to all of us, men and women, in the spirit of genuine love and interest to work patiently and earnestly to strengthen all such links. AND THE RIGHT KIND OF CRITICISM WILL OPEN OUR EYES.

During this certain phases of prison life rarely touch with the Governor with the result that I was returned to Jack-knife instead of Katherine with the faith hope that when things were cleared up I would be given another chance. On arriving again at the prison in which we assume originally started I was met with almost an entirely new prison personnel. I was taken into the record clerk's office, registered and instructed to wait there as the Warden wished to see. In due time he arrived and proceeded to give me a most scorching lecture, which I no doubt just deserved. Governor had called him personally on the phone and told him that if he ever "talked" to anyone to do so to me as I needed some sort of advice, he would me to realize the seriousness of life. The Warden told me to forget about any previous prison operations or incarcerations that had had for this man "milled" right. He told me that I could look forward to nothing but hard work, possibly the coal pile, and that I would do every day of my life to respondence was rigidly censored and even my personal letters to personal friends returned to me. Certainly which I accepted philosophically and decided to make the best of it. *Cemptation to impatience or seeming heartlessness.* Even the best people ask our agreement in something that we feel is out of the question we take to us words of courteous explanation and regret. Why should it not be so hard to explain what we love desiring what seems to him or her a perfectly natural privilege? The very effort to see the child's side of the question has led many parents to believe that children would otherwise have been driven sharply away; and it was usually a fortunate relenting, for most boys the spiritual influences that come from caring for something that is alive and enjoying its companionship. But the child has made into a social bond through tender dependent pets.

ADJUDED BY 'POSPORTUNITY' AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-26 Saturday, February 19, 1927 YE YOUNGER FOLK Mr. Beetle's Bet It was most unlike Mr. Stalid Beetle to boast, but Benny Wasp and Philip Beetle were bragging from family members. Beetle could not refrain from interrupting. "Of course," Benny Wasp was saying, "I am proud of Bumble Bumble, but they too are members of our large family." "Well, I don't think I would mention that," Philip Beetle said. If I were you, Philip spoke scornfully. "Now, don't for a minute think all of those relatives. You are forgetting that Ante Ant is also one of my cousins, quickly reported to me. If you are going to include all of those relatives, I guess you have forgotten that Jimmy Josquite and all of the others sang Philip boastily. Thus they vied with one another until Mr. Beetle, who had sighted quite near, could stand it mop-up. "Philip and Benny," he said, "do hush your foolishness. Neither one of you has any right to be a member of your smartness, as. As if you had any!" Philip buzzed his disgust. Of your smartness, sir. Every Winglet, except you, knows that there are one hundred thousand different members in my family." Mr. Beetle's resistance of Philip's ignorance in his voice. "You ought to have numbers, for you up Benny Wasp, an ordinary lot," spoke up Benny Wasp. "Wish" shows how little you know of me," replied Mr. Beetle. "Maybe you never heard of Sparkle Firefly." "What about her asked Philip, informed himself of her kind." "And so with all your smartness, you never heard that she can with one breath make her body glow with fire. No matter how black the night, Sparkle can shine so brightly that anyone may see her leagues away." "That may be so, but I have my doubts," Benny Wasp replied. "As though I don't know better than that," Jeered Phillip. "Who ever heard of any thing carrying fire in his hand? No, let us talk of something sensible. If you had said that your cousin could fly into the fire and never burn, someone might listen to you. For example, take my cousin Flapper Moth who isn't afraid of the hottest flame," "I don't believe either of you," said Benny. "Phillip, you do such foolish talking. There isn't a Winglet who wouldn't burn if he flew into the fire," retorted Mr. Beetle. "All right, sir," boasted the youthful Phillip, "you think you know what you are talking of and I know I know." "Since you are so certain," continued Mr. Beetle, "let's us make a wager." "Surely," eagerly responded the boastful Phillip. "I bet a crumb of bread sparkle can make her feel online like a star and that she has made Moth cannot fly through a flame without injury," Mr. Beetle pronounced the terms slowly. "And I bet a crumb of cake that Sparkle can't and Flapper can," Phillip voiced his side of the contract. "Let me hold the stakes, since I am "Let me hold the stakes, since I am interested, said Benny, interest- ed at that. "That's arreocable," both Mr. Beetle and Philip consented. "and do what you promise, the stakes are mine." Benny Jasp, a hipster, found himself along, for Mr. Beetle and Philip had flown to find their talented cousins and the playwright. At the appearance of the Northern light in the sky (that was a sign that he was a hipster), the dancers with their miedoes were at the appointed place. Sparkle Firefly was there to present Flapper Moth, in a beautifully designed gown, lighted on a twigernest hanger. Indeed for once Mr. Beetle was just a little ashamed of his retiring life, and he later, exclaiming, "You know this is against my policy, for night time is sleep time for me," he gathered near a log fire loft by a creature, a man's klundum; truly the Winglets were beaten, and the creature careless. Mr. Beetle opened the conversation. Sparkle "he" addressed his cousin, "a great dispute has arisen as to your ability to make your body shine" "Feel! Hee!" giggled the shy Sparkle. "More proof, less foolishness," interrupted. "He was answered by another 'Feel' Hee!" which was followed by a deep breath, Mr. Beetle body was alow. For a minute Benny and Phillip were astonished, but Phillip recovering first said mockingly, "Who couldn't shine here? Even black Susie Spider could reflect the light of this bright log fire as Sparkle did. If she went three yards away who could see her?" This was answered by another "Hee! Hee!" and Sparkle retreated three yards. Behold, there she was shining like a tiny star against the black curtain. "Now, Benny," Mr. Beetle questioned, "who wins that part of the bet?" "I must confess that you do," reluctantly decided Benny. "Well, you haven't seen my side yet," argued Phillip, who was just a wee bit crestfallen at Sparkle's success. "We are waiting," Benny moved a bit as he spoke that he might see Flapper Moth better, she was such a beautiful. "Now, Flapper," encouraged Phillip, "These Winglets don't believe that you can fly into that flame and not be burnt." "Ha! Ha! Did you ever hear of such a thing? The Moth family have always liked flames." As she spoke she flapped her wings and rose from the twig. She most gracefully circled the fire; and as Benny watched, he had way down under his wings a little feeling that he didn't want to see such a lovely creature as he was. She circled nearer as nearer the fire; and just as the flames touched her wings, Mother Moth announced. Child, what are you doing?" she shrieked. But alas, it was too late, for flapper Moth had already fallen to the ground, and she beat the dust, with her singing, wings. "O. dear, how could you forget the face of your mothers and sisters in 'Mamma.' Mamma, you were then, when the unfortunate Flapper.

Admission to TEE Younger Folk, TEE Younger Folk, TEE Younger Folk, N.E. Equav, Bentham, Md. One day as I was walking along, I thought of the circus that was to be on the following Tuesday. I turned the corner, and walked up the street that led to my home. I was silent about my desire, and my sisters did not even speak of the circus. On Tuesday, my uncle called my sisters and me. He told us that he was going to take us to the circus. We dressed and when my uncle brought his auto to the door, we were ready to go. When we got there, we went into the large tent. We saw various strange looking specimens; but when a large black ferocious rattle-snake appeared with the snake-charmer, I trembled with fright. After we had seen the show through, we came home. I went to my bedroom immediately, took off my clothes, and went to bed. I was still thinking of the snake. After a while I dropped off to sleep. Soon something started to pull my cover. I tried to scream, but I could not utter a sound. I was shivering and almost smothering. Something touched my face, and I slowly opened my eyes to see my mother tucking the covers up around my neck.

Contest Announcement "The Error Hunters" Conditions A HORRIBLE SURPRISE Aunt Ray's Letter Children: This is the week of great men, and I am sure that you have read and talked much of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. All pleasant and memorable episodes of their childhood have been retained from mentions something about each man. Who among you doesn't remember the father of these United States men? You child can forget the characterization of George Washington given by Henry Lee when he first impress and first in the house of his countrymen. The best example of perseverance in an undertaking and equity in a case, truly, the man's life was marked by security. No higher债权 can be paid a man than that which a friend paid Washington when the hostess man that I live ever admired human nature. How many of you realize that Abraham Lincoln, the six-story, was educated and most adverse circumstances He once said of the neighborhood in which he lived, "It was a whooping with men with whom I worked with still in the woods, and were some schools, schools, but no qualification was not read, read, written, read, written, to the rule of three. There is absolutely nothing to exert attention for education." Concern that association with the ten engagement to in such which you receive. And again, take the case of our own Frederick Douglass, a national figure, belonged originally to our state. He was out at Tuckahoe, Maryland, February 1817. No education was required, Douglass was such a young youth at the age of 20 on the Mrs. Sophia Aud, his mistress gave him instruction until her husband objected. Frederick, a man of book, and here in the street of Baltimore learned to read the assistance of his white playmates, his studies seated in the kitchens left late at night when all inmates of his household were sleeping. It one little slave boy learned of such objection, estimate what we must owe society for our many advantages. Wouldn't it be a difficult task to calculate our debt if we did not know how to pay it to us? To see February come, because such dates as the 12th and 22nd serve as reminders of how to keep faith.

Tuesday ANNUAL SCANDAL ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL MARKS ABOUT READY TO BREAK February Graduates Remain In School Despite Fact They Have Finished Work. School Building Heated To 78-80 Degrees. Teachers Asked Out For Assembly Meeting. Pupils Report At 8:45 A.M. Excused At 3:20 P.M. Predict "Boule" Child Will Win Commencement Honors. Seventh of a series of articles by an Alumnus of Douglass High School The annual scandal concerning MARKS of the Douglass High School graduating class is about to begin. It’s usually deferred until May of each year, but its starting in February this year, because parents are on the job. Two members of that powerful secret fraternity THE BOULE are principal or heads of departments at Douglass H. Parents have seen in this an intimation of reason why they are so proud of their graduation prizes at commencement time. Records of recent years show that Misses Mace Elliott of Douglass High graduation honor students whose dads were supposedly Boule members. This year Miss Augusta Brexton is in line for graduation honors. Here’s the case for the Marks. The half term is ended. Douglass H. February class has ended its work. Some of them do not yet know their marks, and others are back to school to remain until June, thus putting the extra time high School (1) If February graduates of the Training School are not permitted to remain why are February graduates of the High School? (2) If Donglass Mls is so conducted that children are compelled to come at 8:45 a.m. and stay until 3:20 p.m., why doesn't Principal Mason klos sit down room by including February graduates leave the building? (3) Will the work done this last half year by February graduates allow students to miss no regular students who will put no extra time in school? SCHOOLMEN'S CLUB HEARS H. DOUGLASS Grandson Tells Intimate Story Of Life Of Great Statesman ATTRACTED ATTENTION AT WORLD'S FAIR Weighed 240 Pounds And Impressed Egyptians, Turks And Africans Some intimate views of the home life of Frederick Donzloss were given in an address delivered before the members and guests of the Secondary Schoolmen's Club, at the Doughlass Hi School, by Haley Doughlass, one of the grandons of the disdungished orator. The personal experiences of the grandson of his grandfather dated from the former's boyhood days after the family had moved to cedar Hill, in Anacosta, D. C. The speaker's subject was: Frederick Doughlass. The Man At Home that he did not spend a great deal of his time at home, said the grandson. Mr. Doughlass read an extance from a pamphlet written by his aunt. Mrs. Rosetta Doughlass Sprague, the daughter of Frederick Doughlass and his wife. Anna Murray. The letter developed the great interest of the grandson's grandfather, his excellent qualities as a housekeeper and mother, the vigor of her mind, and the high esteem in which she was held by her husband, until her death in 1838. The pamphlet reviewed the home life and struggles of the Douglass family, in their homes at Lynn, NY and at Murray Douglass enjoyed the life at Lynn, more than at Rochester, where race prejudice was pronounced. Mr. Dick Douglass enlarged his home at Rochester until it was big enough to accommodate 20 fustive slaves. His home was one of the important stations on the underground. At the evenings the Douglass family would gather around a table where they would spend much time in reading, or holding, a book, the publication on Friday of each week of the Douglass paper, the North Star, was always an event in this little family. Douglass and his wife were described that their children should have whatever education they could get, and at the ages of nine and eleven, two of the boys were trained in the work shop of the North Anna Murray carefully saved all the money that Frederick Doughlass spent during the Rochester period, and always avoided debts. On his speaking tours, she kept him supplied with fresh clean linen. During the Rochester period, John Brown, who spent a great deal of time at the home of Doughlass, was very fond of Anne, the youngest daughter. At the death of Frederick Doughlass, Anne was assisted by a white friend, and on this trip passed thru Chicago. He stopped at the home of the grandfather of J. J. Wheeler, teacher in the Doughlass High School. Doughlass was greatly affected by the death of Anne, who died while he was in Chicago. In 1872, the Rochester home was burned and the family moved to Washington. Cedar Hill commands the city, and the speaker said that Doughlass long life was caused by the pleasure he received from the beauties of his home and a walk around his house. "My grandfather," said the speaker, "took a cold bath every morning before his or her visitation, tramps, three or four apples, of which he was very fond. He had a habit of cutting them in half scraping them with a knife and eating them at the estate at Cedar Hill was a stone hut which was the favorite nunt of Douglas.

How far forthrift has gone in the past at the Hi school is not known.

"Ben Hur," a tale of the Christ, a bold aspiration transference of a good book to visual values. In that it is more than a story, will open a limited return engagement at Ford's Monday matinee. It will be shown twice daily every succeeding day, the events at 2:15 and evening at 8:15. It is history, history which has lived through the centuries with a vitality comparable to that of no other period. But it is above and beyond all history. In that Wahnsen told his history in that glorious tenderness and a simplicity of Christ's message to the world, in contrast to the glory that was Rome's. One small room simply furnished, with short hours, buried deep thought. This hall was called the Growery. "There were many animals at Cedar Hill but the favorite one was an old grey horse, which Douglass drove on Cedar Hill. The Cedar Hill was always crowded with visitors." At World's Fair On a trip to the World's Fair, at Chicago, Douglass's stirling appearance attracted universal attention. He weighed 240 pounds; he was a massive white head. He met at the fair many Egyptians, Turks and Africans with whom he had formed friendships on his trips to the Old World. Douglass was the possessor of a cordial personality. He was liked by all who knew him, white or colored, great or small. He was vigorous until his death at the age of 78. He enjoyed the company of his friends during week-end gatherings at Cedar Hill. He played the violin and sang. A few days later, he was remarkable activity, an old-fashioned jig, to please his friends. Mrs. Rosetta Douglass Sprague was a classmate of the father of Douglass, a teacher in the Douglass High School. Correction Through some error the names of Mieses Georgia L.

Child Psychology Child psychology requires fair treatment. If children are expected to be in 'their home rooms by nine o'clock as the printed rules state, they should also see to it that they have their wraps and are started for home promptly at 2:30 p. m. Keeping classes until 11:30 a.m. another evidence of incompetence. Temperature Hot We've called attention to the fact that the Hi school clocks are out of order so much that it's a problem. Just another guilty plea. The principal admitted publicly he's unable personally to keep the correct time. The new oil heater system is out of order too.

GIRLS,5 AND 12 ACCUSE MEN OF SERIOUS CRIME Two men, charged with criminal assault upon a vehicle held this week for the action of the Grand Jury in the Northwestern Police Station. Henry Bolling, 22, of Chicago, alleged to have forcefully abused Dorothy Williams, age 12, 115 Lancale street, on January 18. Bolling was apprehended this week. The man, one of the children of the child, who stated that Bolling, whom they knew, came to the house in her absence and attacked the child. Hutchett, 1225 Pennsylvania avenue, showed her to be in a serious condition. Abuses Five Year Old James Jefferies, 31, 500 W. Biddle street, was also犯了. He was charged by Jury on charges brought by Mrs. Vloia Vincent, 621 West Lafayette avenue, who sat that he attempted a criminal assault upon her year old brother Sunday. According to the story told by Mrs. Emma Holman, who lives on the third oak, she heard a woman attempt to enter, found the door latched from the inside. With the assistance of the door, the door was forced and the child found crying, with Jefferies hiding behind the door. He is said to have been drinking and for the action of the Grand Jury.

Mayor Absent Mayor Jackson evidently had good reasons for not attending the two weeks ago. Maybe he knew that Mr. Hawkins' political left bower (his right bower) had been reported in touch with Walter F. Graham a candidate for Mayor and sounded him out concerning his role to guide the principal. Mr. Hawkins' friends want him politically fixed no matter who gets the nomination for Mayor. Two weeks ago it looked like Mr. Graham. Now it looks like Mayor Jackson. The Bowers The bowers evidently figure that if they can have Mr. Hawkins in school board's wishes they can likewise keep him in office even when school authorities find him in trouble. The Hawkins' high school administration and its political allies constitute a menace to education in When the city pays $4500 for brains it wants educational brains not political brains. The taxpayers. The taxpayers whose money has gone into a million dollar high school, and who are taxed hundreds of thousands additional for upkeep want an executive who can care for the students, and direct a faculty of eighty and earn the respect and confidence of 2000 adolescent boys and girls. Mr. Dawson lost the confidence of the community, the hearty cooperation of his faculty and the respect of an increasing portion of the pupils. His reservation voluntary or forfeiture of the law level to which higher public education in the city has fallen. CARTER APPOINTMENT MERITED SAYS ATTY. Assistant To Attorney General Does Not Want Credit For Influencing Choice FIRESTONE INVESTMENT MAKES POST IMPORTANT American Capital Requires That Minister Be Real Di- plomat By Ralph Matthews That neither "ne nor Benjamin Davis", Republican Committee-man from Georgia, were responsible for the appointment of James G. Carter, as minister to Liberia was denied by Perry Howard, Assistant to the Attorney General in an interview Wednesday. The appointment of Mr. Carter was not the result of any political overtures on the part of himself or Davis but was a reward for meritorious service, he said. Mr. Carter, he declared, has spent many years in the diplomatic service and is most capable in the performance of his duties. The appointment was made in accordance with the policy of the government to take trained diplomats who have been attached and reward them with more responsible positions instead of sending political clans unfamiliar with consular service. A bill is now under advisement to raise the salary of the Liberian post to the dignity of other ministers. Because of the large investment made in Liberia by American interests the office requires now, more than ever before, a skill of Mr. Carter visited in Washington last November, when he was recalled by the government from the naval, and was later on vacation of the government since his return. He visited relatives in Brunswick, Ga., and spent sometime with his wife for a visit to Chicago. He was called to Washington last week at the time the appointment was made. Mr. Carter, himself, did not make application for the post and was surprised when informed that he had been selected.

ROSENAU Jewish Leader Brands War In World Peace Lecture Sunday DOUGLASS HI TO HAVE PROGRAM SUNDAY Musical And Literary Num- bers Will Feature Day's Exercises "Humanity needs emancipation from the falsehood that war is a necessity," said Rabbi Wm. Rosman, of Entuw Place Synagogue, last Sunday at the Open Yorkium of Bohuel A. M. E. Church. "Let us teach morality in the schools, and in the churches, — the doctrine of universal peace, which is better than any other doctrine that can be preached. "When an American officer said 'War Is Hell,' he told the eternal truth. The prophet of old who declared that the time would come when nations would beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning books, established an ideal that has been echoed through the ages". Rabbi Rosonau, who was speaking on the topic, "Is World Peace Realizable?" said that people are wrong in judging civilization merely as advancement in the fields of science and invention. Telegraphy, railroads, steamships and the radio do not make civilization, he declared, but development of men's thoughts along all lines, for the betterment of humanity. "When God created the universe, he created one prehistoric ancestor for all races," continued the Rabbi. "He did this because he wanted to make humanity one. Unfortunately, men have been led by selfishness, and unholy ideals, to de- The speaker then mentioned Mr. Carnegie's move for peace when he built the United States' Holland. But the dawn of the twentieth century served to shatter the ideal of peace. Then when every dog has gone to war, it was like Versailles that settled the World War, it was claimed that there would be no more war, because all the racial and natural differences had been fought. "But," Rabbi Rosenau said, "conditions are worse now than before and the effects that are now going on, expressing the possibility that If Russia is left alone, the Soviet Union may that become the model for others. It was unfortunate, the speaker added, that United States had not entered the League of Nations. He thought that national jealousies were leading to another great conflagration of the idea of universal peace. The distinguished Rabbi criticised military training in school, and during a visit to the school allowed him to be led into the preaching of patriotism. "If war breaks out again, I shall do as the Quakers did, who said war was agonized," he said. "The ideal of peace may be restored," he said, "by teaching morality in the schools and in the press, and by teaching the doctrines of peace in the school." H. Stephen responded to the address, endorsing the ideas that the Rabbi had expressed. Vocal solos by Mrs. Lillian Matthews Parrre, Mrs. Catherine Washburn, and a piano solo by Miss E. Myers, a student of the Douglass High School, completed the program. Sunday the program will be given entirely by Douglass High School students. PETER H. Beautiful Cedar All new styles.

WHITE Rift Indicates Dentist May Run On Independent Ticket NO CANDIDATES ENDORSED AT MEETING "Just Reporting Progress" Charles Main Tells Reporter For AFRO The first rift in the lute steering the six candidates on to the Fourth District councilmanic primary came this week when L. H. Davenport, Republican war horse, and said to be the "daddy" of the Dr. J. A. White boom, left his camp after what was said to be a stormy interview on matters political. In an open letter to the AFRO-AMERICAN this week, Mr. Davenport explained his position as follows: I had scheduled a meeting for Friday, February 18 in the interest of Dr. J. A. White, who will be visiting his past patrol in City Council. I have canvassed in the Fourth District in his interest. I called at his office on Monday and asked him to attend his attention to the meeting that was to take place on February 18. I informed me that he preferred waiting until the meeting would indorse him and if he would run as an independent. I informed him that he would be independent, and therefore we parted by the ways and any of my friends I have approached in his interest will no doubt appreciate the position.

No man or race of men a Christian when he is a Christian when they oppress the weak, despell the ignorant, victimize the unoffending, and imbure murder their fellowmen and spike it. In advocating white supremacy the white man means to be supreme not by the Dominance of Right but by the Supreme Power of Mercy—not in the Ministry of Brotherhood, but Supreme by the hook or crook; supreme by the legal force; supreme by cowardly and unmerciful legislation. This principle of white supremacy as worked out bears fruit in the enactment of the Color Bar Bill of South Africa. It compels African natives to bear fruit within the city limits them to live within the city limits. The curfewings them off the city streets.

AFRICAN DRYS DISLIKE WET CHRISTIANITY MONROVIA, LIBERIA — The bringing in of rum, which has had such an evil effect upon the natives of Africa, a Graham, president of Morroville College, for much of the difficulty missions have in developing religion in that continent where 60,000,000 people follow Mohammedanism. Other reason given why the natives cling to Mohammedanism is that this religion allows him to maintain his many duties, the fact that he believes that Mohammedanism is essentially a religion for the black man. While true Mohammedan brotherhood is limited to those of the faithful, he believes that the social lines in order to consult the connexion of Africes by Mohammed, which will mean perpetual darkness for that dark continent, must be directed more against Mohammedanism than towards heathenism, and the Christian missionary must manifest the teachings of his thrice-monarch Mohammedan missionary exemplifies the precepts of Mohammed.

His report was presented by the Rev. Weaver K. Eubank of Jamesburg, N. J. "Pastors who have regularly used newspaper ads," said Mr. Clarke, "find that they are a good investment. There ads should not be merely perfunctory announcements of sermon topics, but should be stimulating enough to inspire readers to desire to attend church and should also be thought-awakeners for those who do not attend. There should be a real message for conscience and soul in every ad." "The church advertisement should strike a happy medium between crude sensationalism and cold dig "A church that cannot afford much money for promotion may join with other churches in the community in a united appeal, using liberal effective display space.

The world has always been religious. As far back as the days of Adam man had an idea of the God of Israel worshipped Jehovah in a tent after which the Tabernacle of the congregation was erected in the desert as a visible symbol of the presence in the midst of the people. To define the subject as stated, Origin refers to the beginning, the origin of the church applies to a body of organized religious believers in Christ, where the word of God is preached by the on the holy church took place immediately after the remarkable scenes of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit was poured into the church assembled together on that day. It was the birthday of the church and its first members were won by the preaching of Peter to the wonderful The Apostles in their ministry at first restricted their labors to Jerusalem, from which the church grew and the Jews took place on the part of the Jews took place about the middle of the first century, beginning with the execution of Stephen, scattering them apart, the knowledge of the Gospel was carried throughout all Palestine, down in Phoenicia and Syria. Philip preached with results in Samaria and head of his own church which is constituted congregation composed of Jews and Gentiles. Thus by the labors of the Apostles, the church developed. Jesus Christ was the sole author and head of his own church which he introduced and established, commissioning the Apostles to preach an universal gospel. The visible church was divided organized and has since been the chief exponent of righteousness and justice. The cause for the origin and existence WATERS A. M. Alisquith Street N, Rev M. H.

Matt. 6:33. Mrs. Henrietta Jones, a member SERMON of the church, was that man through disobedience had broken the law and lost confidence in God, therefore needed a Saviour to redeem man- kind The time had come when the dawn of a new era was needed to restore again to man the peace which he had lost. The Christian church had its source and inspiration in the life and teaching of Jesus; the life of its early members were simple and practical as the believers were yet few. All thoughts centered in Christ as a personal Savior, and in the consciousness of his continued presence. There was little difference between the Apostle and the unlettered believer; each in his own way, best, was to preach the new life in Christ. The most Important contribution to civilization was the Gospel of Jesus Christ: The early church was the originator of a common brotherhood. One of the principles was equality of all men. The church was permeated with the life, example and reaching of the man of Galilee. Their hearts were ablaze with the determination to plant the seed of truth and righteousness in the souls of men, regardless of color, ereed, or condition. The Christian church has set a standard of ethics, whereby all men can conform, and she has contributed to the development of women and womanhood, morally and socially. The founders of the church gave us an educational program. The many institutions of learning today of outstanding character, bear testament to the mission of the church is to manifest Christ to the world, by good works, the fruit of a living faith and with strong bairy strength. We must put their shoulders to the wheel and push the ark of God to the front. And when this gospel shall be truly accepted, it will solve all problems for the advancement of mankind, the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ. M. E. CHURCH Near Orleans P. D.

From her headquarters at 252 W. 33 st. she has arranged a large and complete shopping service to that end. Mrs. Miller has recently returned from the Southwest where she observed shopping conditions for colored and the resultant consequences. Her observations convinced her of justice done colored women, in that section. For inferior goods through out Dixie she reports they pay outrageous prices. For showworm fittings, too, she reports. The colorful fashions with garrish colors and slip shod, sweat shop construction. Nearly everywhere throughout the south these conditions obtain. The results are that she colored women and poorly dressed. They are cherished and poorly dressed. Nor is this all. This energetic business woman declares. In none of the leading stores of the South are they permitted fittings. She gets her date-gowns, suits, coats, shoes, hats or the courteous, humane treatment from the clerks. In such places as they are allowed to shop at all they must take them, guess, in the fit and in addition must be dearly for the 'leavings of white ladies'.

All this she guarantees at a cost of only ten percent above the purchase price. The article is then delivered more much less than that asked for the inferior article in the south. The further and obvious advantage will be in making the southern women save money and have more time to shop at New York style. Mrs. Miller will be enabled to do this on this very small margin because of the volume of business she is beginning to do and the number of satisfied customers who will eventually let her force of complete experience purchase nearly everything for them. Mrs. Miller is a retired fashion modiste who has had large experience in the wholesale purchasing and marketing conditions. The puffin-style conditions for colored in the South brought home to her the service she could thus render and the necessity of her unique splendid business. AFRICAN WAGE IS 54C A DAY AFRICAN WAGE IS 54C A DAY NEW YORK—Lord Oliver, former British Secretary of State for India, writing in *The Nation* for Feb. 5, condemns the "slayery" imposed upon the native workers in South Africa by a system of laws and industry based entirely on exploitation of the colored man. White men in the South African mines, Lord Oliver points out, are paid "on the average of about ten times as much as the black," even skilled native machine operators receiving a maximum of 54 cents a day. "Some apologists argue that as the white man is racially superior to the black, he is justified in seeking to maintain his position by preventing the native from attaining equality in the workplace, in the first place, not all white men, on any scale of human valuations, are superior to all black, and a great many white men are inferior to a good many black.

New By-Laws In the new by-laws of the Provident Hospital and Free Dispensary, the corporate name, it is set forth that there shall be an advisory committee of fifteen members at least four of whom shall be registered physicians, two of whom shall be nominated by the faculty of the University and two of whom shall be nominated by the Medical Faculty of the School of Medicine of the University of Maryland. It is the duty of this committee to advise and make recommendations to the Board of Trustees, to the Medical Board, and to the Chief Staff on matters pertaining to the management and conduct of the hospital. Consulting Staff The by-laws then provide for a consulting staff which shall consist of registered physicians who shall be designated from the medical board. The Times upon recommendation, of the medical board. This medical board will consist of four registered physicians who may be admitted to the committee and it will be their duty to recommend the members of the visiting staff from a list provided by the consulting staff. The members be registered colored physicians. Vibrating Stuff "Members of the visiting staff" the article continue, "shall not be allowed to use the facilities of the hospital to perform a surgical operation in the hospital until the consulting staff shall recommend to the Trustees, and the Trustees shall approve the grant of the visiting staff." This provision is thought to assure the best of medical care to the patient. The question of the method of staffing the hospital has been a subject of debate among the physicians for some time but this is the first definite plan. Under this plan no regular colored resident staff is at present set up but each colored physician has the opportunity to qualify for a place on the staff. The hospital will, under this arrangement, be actually physicians becoming members of the regular staff as they prove their fitness. We Run Chicago Laundries WASHINGTON, D. C.—Department of Labor studies of typical Chicago laundries indicate that 65 per cent of the laundry employees are colored.

Intermarriage Ban Added To Boost Eugenics Bill TOPEKA, Kus-An amendment prohibiting marriage between the races, has been added to the eugenics bill, it is believed, to boost it through the legislature. The bill, which carried a provision that applicants to marry must have not less than $1,000 in the bank, was killed in committee, and its friends added the mixed marriage ban with the hope, it is said, of giving it a hearing on the floor.

"Money Back if Not Gatissed." GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter Emory Hays, $01 Greenmount Avenue, had an induction to set up house-keeping. Knowing the utter impossibility of furnishing a whole house with one cell because of his bank, he decided to get his furniture piece by piece. He started out slowly. He first brought home four dining room chairs, later he came in with two kitchen chairs. Then when he walked in with two rocking chairs his wife became disgusted. "Say man," she demanded, "don't you never get to bring home nothing? What are you going to sleep in, and eat off of?" "Now, baby," soothed Hays, "don't get excited, you know I have to just pick up these things when I run across them. Give me time, please, just give me time." "The Judge will do that," said a rough voice in the doorway and Hays turned to a Northwestern officer, "you get time enough for stealing those things from Morris Zall's warehouse on Greenmount avenue. Hays is now waiting trial in the city jail." William Wallace, 521 Lambert St. is going to move. The decision came suddenly and unexpectedly and Wallace did not decide it himself. The Magistrate in the Northwestern made up Wallace's mind. But Wallace isn't going to work away, he has got to go of jail first. That is where they put William because he wouldn't work in the past and take care of his wife, Mrs. Ida Wallace, of the same address, and her two children, one three the other four years of age. "No, sir, your honor," declared Mrs. Wallace, "he hasn't done any work here. Judge, how can woman can prevaricate," blured Wallace, "she is just trying to frame me, she knows just as well as she is slandering there, that I worked two weeks in July." "Why, you have a perfect record," smiled the Magistrate. "We couldn't possibly send you to jail if you have done all that work. Could we officers?" He asked his question to several policemen who were standing about the courtroom. "Why, of course not, your Honor?" they replied seizing Wallace by the shoulders and rushing him back to a cell. A little meditation in the police station Friday morning caused Mrs. Roxanna Harris, 213 West Biddeford street, to decide change her mind with reference to a sentence she meted out to her husband, John. After having Harris hailed into court, she testified that he had struck her several times and that when she grabbed one of the children in her arms and started in her arms, she knocked her across the bed. She further described him as being unusually brutal, and when the Magistrate asked her could she do without him for three months, she hastily replied yes, whereupon her husband was fined $75 and costs. Half an hour later, emerging from the rear of the court room, where she had been sitting listening to other cases and meditating she came up to the judge and asked him to please reduce the fine she was owed. The two acco-mulated her and made the fine $25 and costs. James Winott, 749 Wilmott Alley, is a business man and believes in applying the most modern business method to ever trivial money matters. Winott had a loan of three dollars Winott hosted a moment, "What kind of security can you give," he demanded. The friend fumbled in his jeans and after resurrecting several valuables trickles produced a revolver, and are, Ull take that," said Winott. "But," contended the friend, "this is worth lots more than three dollars." Winott had appreciated that fact when his eyes first feated on the gun and asked a business man. He demanded the gun and turned over the money. He was examining the gun and congratulating himself on his elegance when an officer tapped him with a gun. The officer was aggressive toy you have there," said the policeman. "A man just gave me this gun for a three-dollar loan." Winott told the Madison in the Northwestern. "And I am just going to give you a $100 fine for carrying concealed weapons," said the Judge. Robert Smith, 1433 Pennsylvania avenue was a perfect gentleman when sober, according to Addie Brown, 511 W. Lafayette avenue, but when he had fubbed too freely he became a demon and a chokeer. On last Thursday night Smith entered the home of Miss Brown and let out a valley of abusive language. Miss Brown sent her little adopted child out to bring in some friends to help quiet Smith. An officer was summoned and Smith was removed to the Northwestern Police Station. On Friday morning he was fined $50 and costs. Joseph Vanderhorst, 1214 McEldery street, was sentenced to three months in the Maryland House of Correction on charges of assaulting a police officer. Mary Vanderhorst, in her home at 225 N.

Sunday night he came to her home and forced his way in, breaking down the doer. He was taken by the police arrived M. Vanderhurst had suffered a fractured jaw, a dislocated shoulder and burns of the body when her husband knocked her over a stove turning over a container. No boilings water was used, and impose a time but sentenced Vanderhurst to three months in the House of Correction. Of Living The high cost of living struck Charles Chambers, 1423 McEldery street and Charles Chambers, 621 north Eden street, with a bang last Friday. Chambers and Bantham, who told the judge later that they had had a square meal in a bang time, sent a message of Jewish bread from in front of Meyers Governman's place at 1142 Lowe street. Placed the bread under their coats they were just unlucky enough to meet a patrolman, who hailed them before the judge in the Eastern Police Station. According to the Jew's estimate of the worth of the bread it should have cost, for 30 cents, but it cost Chambers and Bantham exactly $2.50, in two times.

Never before have such a variety of fine homes been available to the Homebuyer. That's why two-thirds of the people of Baltimore own their homes. Are you one of the prosperous two-thirds, or are you one of the backward third part that doesn't give a "rap" whether he gets ahead or not. Do you realize that as a rent-payer you must face your landlord 2 weeks in a year and as many years as you live, whereas if you start buying NOW, in seven or eight years your home will be yours and you'll never be a landlord again the rest of your natural life.

Very Callaway REAL ESTATE MAN VANIA AVENUE ON 10206 Along The White Way By Maybellie Robinson Chow One thing that is always a source of wonder to me is the phenomenal rise of the Smiths in the world. Never have I seen so many famous people named Smith. And still another strange thing about it is that all the female Smiths sing "blues". Not the least of the Smiths is Clara, who holds forth at the annual Smiths Revue, "Black Bottom Revue". I suppose it's named "Black Bottom" because some of the jokes touch the black bottom of suggestiveness. Anyway, there isn't anyone in it that does the "Black Bottom". May Barnes could tell them what it is all about. The comedians, and there were four, three of them, who are funny, especially the monologist who betrays signs of cleverness and a good voice. A tall beautiful brown who looks wonderful in male attire, believes that beauty is reason enough for being in the show. She acts as if she is in a trance. Clara, herself, seemed to please that portion of the audience by her record. I hear a viciola so wasn't acquainted with her. She certainly has powerful lungs. I liked her clean- number, "A Roundabout Way To Heaven". He accompanies certainly looks like a plate of lemon Jello but he can sing and play. The chorus might send some of their pretty dresses to the dry cleaner. This and his polish scene would scene might lift this revue into the good show class. As usual the kids ate it up. "Love 'Em And Love 'Em", the picture, was not at all as the subject would lead one to expect. It showed how a gold-digging younger sister took her sister's beau, and how the older sister causes a power to love her mother, and how a power to love and leave all men, hereafter. The Regent is still offering us vaudeville and a feature pictures. Tin Hirr is a feature pictures days with a love strain running through it. Not even in a comedy could the kings of the celluloid forget Angelo-Saxon superiority. You can't. But out about a dozen men in armor, Can you beat that? A duo, colored, did some really beautiful singing. The boys who cried so freely, at the toys, weeks and weeks, at the stage, slightly and fast little skirt, with one of the dancers who played last week with a female partner. Don Austin white, in person did chalk sketches of the clumps and also showed the vaudeville make a fairly good, evening's pleasure. Slices Of Wit "Billy" cum, at the Royal: You don't know how much I like you. Elizabeth: How could you like me when you met me only an hour ago? "Billy" cum, I reckon that's the reason I like you. Robert Taylor at the Star—A Baltimore woman has at last found out where her husband spends his evenings. She stayed at home one night last week and found that he spent them there. Irvin C. Miller, at the Royal—Your sister does not treat me right. Horsus Girl—Now what is the matter? Irving C. Miller—I sent her to town the other day to buy me a hat. She stayed four hours and came back with a sailor. Ethel Dudley—What is Harlem? Isaac Paul—Harlem is a big buff surrounded by instalment collectors. Mrs. LeJole, at the Star (prospective customer)—You haven't many buildings in this town. LeJole (Jewish salesman)—know, but just look at the parking space. "Rasusus" Brown—I have gone back to the "stone age" again. I am fighting my wife with bricks. I loving C. Miller, at the royal—Iowa, to be a party tonight. Chorus Girl—What kind? living C. Miller--A. pajama party. Everything is coming off. --- WE THOUGHT the housewives would like our new loaf-but we, ourselves, were surprised at its really sensational success. In the very first month, we sold more than 1,000,000 loaves. And today we're baking, every month, almost twice that amount. "My family won't eat any other kind now," declares one customer. "It's the first bread I've tried that we never get tired of." says another. "Whenever I've served it to company," says a third, "someone has always been sure to ask whose make it was." Everybody is complimenting us on the new richness of flavor. And on the texture—just that perfect combination of delicacy and firmness that is everybody's ideal. What makes this new loaf different? Why does it taste so much better than others-keep so much longer, slice so much more evenly? There are three reasons. The first is a larger quantity of fresh, rich milk than is used in any Page Twenty-four V K ```markdown ``` The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Call Vernon 6016 and You made us almost double our output in the first year Keeps days longer more milk than any other THE BAKERY THE IDEAL type of bread for sandwiches because of its rich flavor and delicate texture—and because it cuts so well into very thin slices RICES BREAD ADJUDGED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1825-26 Saturday, February 19, 1927 e it - you did! GLEAMING SILVER, sparkling glassware, exquisite linens, delicate china—and the bread that housewives have found worthy of these fine settings bread we know of. The second is the shortening more and better than is ordinarily used. And the third is the split top which helps the bread to rise and bake more evenly, and therefore, gives it a better flavor and texture. IF YOU haven't tried it yet, order a loaf. Notice how fresh it is when it reaches you. Just out of the oven-by all the signs good housewives know. That's because it is baked twice daily-and rushed in fast trucks right from the oven to your grocer. Now draw your knife across the crisp, brown crust, and watch the paper thin slices curl away from under it; never crumbling and never crushing together into a soggy spot in the middle as poorly baked bread is likely to do. Slices beautifully toasts to perfection Put it in your toaster and watch the lovely golden brown spread evenly over the gradually crisping surface. It is ideal for sandwiches, too-because of its rich flavor and delicate texture, and because it cuts so well into very thin slices. For every occasion, for every purpose that you use bread, the new Rice loaf is a delight and a satisfaction. Start serving it today. Your own grocer can serve you with it regularly. Baked twice a day and delivered oven-fresh,morning and afternoon, at your own grocer's.
