Carter, foreign service officer 'of class seven assigned as counsel at Bananariv, Madagascar, was confirmed by the Senate Tuesday and is now the new minister to Liberia. The delay in confirming Carter was not due to any question of his qualifications, but in order to debate the question as to whether he could maintain his consular status and eligibility for a pension if he accepted the Liberian post. Carter had served 26 years as consul and is entitled to a pension upon retiring. The Senate and State Department understand that, since Carter's new official title is minister resident and consul general he can accept the post without forfeiting his pension or consular perogatives. FLAPPER'S SHOT MEANS TRAGEDY TO BEAU OF 15 Raymond·Watkins Not Expected To Live With Bullet Wound In Back "THREATENED TO BEAT ME" SOBS GIRL MITE Youngest Held On Serious Assault Charge Tips Scales At 60 Pounds Raymond Watkins, age 15, is reported near death in Johns Hopkins Hospital with a bullet wound in his back and Ruth Green, 1303 Orleans street, his fifteen year old sweetheart, is being held by Northeastern District authorities. She is charged with firing the shot during a juvenile love quarrel last Wednesday night. According to the story told to police by the girl, when she was finally persuaded to talk after crying all night in the Northeastern Police Station, Watkins, who lives at 651 E. Madison street, had been taken to her home during the absence of her parents Wednesday night. An argument ensued during which the boy declared that he was going to beat her just like the big fellows did who around the pool rooms. She said in SAYS GIRL, "The girl then declared that she went upstairs and returned with a revolver, which she found in a bureau drawer. She told him that if he touched her she would shoot him. She had no intentions of firing the gun she said, but when she pointed it at him it went off." Police have been unable to verify this statement, Captain Money of the Northeastern, declared, because the youth is in such a serious condition that hospital physicians refuse to let them interview him. The boy was carried to the hospital by 1621 E. Mountain street and William Jones, 1314 Orleans, who were attracted by the shot and rushed to the scene. The girl lives with her mother, she told police and has an aunt and uncle and a sister at the same address. The girl is one of the youngest ever to police charges, according to police records. She said about 60 pounds and her actions are those of a child. RECEIVER RUNS WILD AT THE PORO COLLEGE ST. LOUIS, MO., (By Telegram, A. N.

CONGRESS Dollar Endowment Campaign For Howard University Is Now Under Way Readers Reminded To Make Out Checks Payable To Howard University-No Sums Larger Than a Dollar To Be Accepted. Campaign Has But Short Time To Run. Page Two DISFRA Dollar Endow Univers Readers Reminded T University-No Su Campaign Has Bu Bc Alumnus The keynote of the Howard University Endowment Fund Campaign has been some intimate response from New York State who possesses at least one dollar. The campaign has a number of unusually attractive features. it is a competition in which every cent will be turned over to Howard University. It is easy to see that there will be no traveling expenses, no advertising bills, no commission to pay college postage, compensation it a manifestation of race contention to open its columns for this purpose, and the writer's only motivation lies in the need of such a competition University placed a wish. No Expenses Too often after expenses are deducted from the donation of a dollar, only the sking of a slender dress remains. This is why many people tend to conclude that a generous message, for they realize that a generous part of the gift goes to the expense items. This campaign commands others to most dissemantically offer, for every cent which is awarded solely for the benefit which it is asked. Make Payable To Howard Every dollar should be seized, in the form of a check, deserved by Howard Thurman that day. The name of each donor and the accumulating amount appear weekly. The donor will be turned over on commencement day as the loving tribute of a sacrificing race for the endowment of Howard Thurman. The most glorious is commencement in the proud and proud of a Negro president he be made possible by the inauguration of a Negro president and the gift of an endowment Without The Walls Again, this campaign has the attractive feature of having started without the walls of Howard University, the university that determines to see the first president of the race succeed. Whatever may be President Johnson's plans to plan a race, the movement is designed to help him bring about this result and to let him know in the most important that his people will be told, that the colored people support a great university. Future Respect However pediatric it may sound to many, future respect for medical leadership is imperative with this university. The present administration. If this administration fails unto Negro aspirations succeeds and a new chapter will be written in Negro achievement. Just One Dollar Still another attractive feature of this campaign lies in the reasonableness of the request. DOLLAR. No staggering prices, no burdensome demands is made. No opportunity is afforded for some of the more illiquid to outdistance others with their contributions, consequent embarrassment of the rivalry. No attention made to alienate donors, no other worthy projects. The movement is so simple and democratic that it can be done without a book-like 15 Weeks Between now and commencement, there must be about fifteen weeks. A person contributing one dollar would thus be giving an hour about six weeks — week — to which which would not be missed by the most financially pinched. All that is necessary therefore, send in a request to the college and install expenditures by SEVEN CENTS a week until commencement. Could a request leading to a great undertaking be combined with a request to give a week a week for fifteen weeks to assure a great university perpetual life? It really has been necessary only for some one to state the case. Response will surely be given. Support Our Own Perhaps the most pluring feature of this project is the opportunity it affords students to their own great spirit that characterized philanthropy. The good old missionaryity of the past continues passionately in the case, without any embellishments, good friends of yore are beginning to feel that colored people can support some of their own Financial Progress In the light of the published figures of the financial progress of the race, it is becoming evident that attractive automobiles, and the like, dress in the most appropriate and fashionable fashion, they ought to be called upon to shoulder more of the responsibility of educating their own youth. The conclusion relative to the logic of this contention, but the fact remains that the props are being gradually from under Negro population.

Burrill Here Is The Chance To view the matter family and courageously, it does appear as the Negro ought to make a solid commitment to give youth and that stand ought surely to represent the endowment of at least one institution of higher learning. It is a serious reflection of the Negro's commitment to a single university which it has endowed. Here now is the American Negro's chance to measure up to one of the elementary schools of the University of report goes out in June that the Negroes of America have themselves endowed Howard University, recognize the Negro's commitment will represent even a great investment than the endowment. Slender Resistance Following the line of the most slender resistance, the Negroes of America, white savviety gave the most serious thought to their own universities. So far as toward is concerned, they have ever successfully supported by the Federal Government. As a result, there has been too much complacency, too much confidence too many misinformation about the situation. Federal Funds Inadequate The Federal Government has been very generous to Howard University and has been adequate to maintain Howard University. The university has a large fund with resources of its own. This fact is not generally known for the erroneous thought is that the governmentoses the sole financial university. The federal appropriations are merely a gratuity, which at present have no justification by law. A more polite course would be the bit, once such a point of order was unknown; then it became rare; now it is annual. If the Senate should ever take the notion to concur with the House in the point of order the very existence of Harvard University would be measured. Endowment Imperative There is pending a bill to justify the appropriations, but the passim of this bill will be so far on the needs of Howard University are concerned. An endowment is most imperative, legalizing the appropriation does not require that the money be to cover all Howard's needs. No seriously inclined person can have any doubt as to the attractiveness or necessity of the request. No one will doubt the need of this endowment. No one will consider the request of ONE DOL.

Many persons who have helped President Johnson have open to them the very way. No Committees There are no committees to be appointed. Everybody helps to form the People's Committee, with the help of the President, to but all in common. It ought to be a delightful labor to have a share in such a constructive campaign and to look forward to an improvement to all in common. Theills are the contribution of ONE DOLLAR. Ever since Dr. Johnson has been President of Howard University, there has been an enthusiasm manifold. There are more numerous than he can answer. He has, however, mounted many platforms and has left a most profound impression of his strength. Long before he came to Howard University, he enjoyed this reputation. If such a man is not the type to stand steadily behind, the colored people will be the ghost. Moon Compliments Instead of passing mere compliments to Dr. Johnson's qualities, there is an opportunity to express with dollars, confidence, with kindness, with his heads, with doubtless, warm words of communication must make him feel happy, but it takes dollars to endear him. The will gladly contribute the amount requested. Persons who are not intimately acquainted with him should willingly risk ONE (DOLLAR) on the representation of worthy Amount Small? The amount requested is so small that there is a tendency to praise the campaign but to postpone sending the dollar. The effect of seeing the dollar start is psychological. It would certainly be inspiring to get immediate response rather than to have prospective contributors wait until a week or two to respond. Pass The Word Along One way of helping the campaign is the word along to persons who have not seen these articles and to inspire them to do their part. It is possible to make a person who knows about this campaign sends a message and checks that another person sends one. It is desirable that every person worth a dollar be given the opportunity to show how Howard endowment 100 Percent Showing It is earnestly hoped that every class in Howard University makes a difference in the colored church in America will not let this opportunity pass unheeded; that every fraternity membership; that every Negro business enterprise will account for its work; that every Negro organization will lend a hand.

C.-President Couldee last Friday approved and signed two congressional acts affecting the Niue Islands. One is to counter United States citizenship upon the inhabitants and to extend the naturalization laws to the Virgin Islands. The government authorizes an appropriation of $100,000 to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to construct and maintain public highways in the island of St. Thomas. There are about 10 or 17 miles of road demanding reconstruction. In most places there is already a road bed, but territorial rails and consequent washouts have many years to go before these roads reach the capacity of the local government to rebuild or to repair. This bill was designed to encourage the large landholder to purchase reasonable prices to deserving small farmers, encourage agriculture in the outskirts, beautify beaches readily accessible to tourists, increase trade and revenues, keep down unpleasant costs, and mitigate the natives to be self-respecting and self-supporting.

BALLOT BOXES OPENED Mo. Senator Admits Voteles States In Dixie Might Be Probed Too By Louis Lautier WASHINGTON, D. C. The question of investigating disfranchisement in the South flared up in the Senate when Senator James A. Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, asked for unanimous consent for a session Tuesday night to consider his resolution extending the life of the committee investigating campaign expenditures and authorizing the opening of ballot boxes in the Pennsylvania senatorial election. Senator David A. Reed, Republican, of Pennsylvania, objected that are tired in Pennsylvania," he said, "of being singled out for investment." He intended to do my best to compel that investigation to be extended to the states in the South where less than 1 per cent of the voters have voted for United States Senator. Then Senator George Reed clashed with Senator Reed, conducted by him, "for the purpose of determining the character of elections that are being held in the United States," Senator George Moss, Republican, of New Hampshire, joined in the debate. Under questioning the beneficiary Senator stated that his committee would conduct an investigation and make a statement by a Senator of any situation by the Constitution under cover of state statutes with a statement facts and the names of witnesses that if he should submit to a chairman of the committee a statement that the election returns a given state showed not only the results of the election but would it be sufficient grounds for an investigation. When Senator Read replied to the chairman that he did not, Senator Moses asked by the following hypothetical question "Suppose I were able to bring to you, as I think you, a graduate of color who had gone to the house in a given country, had attended at the central entrance and had turned to the left into the school of schools, had there passed an examination which entitled him to a certificate as a teacher in school to and including the other states." "The statute of that state provides that in order to vote a must have certain educational qualification such as being a legal bar and have written taxes on property amounting to certain number of hundreds of dollars. This man comes out of the county and he has in his hand a certificate etching him to teach school up and including the eighth grade. He goes right across the hall on the county clerk. He presents the certificate and asks to be registered as a voter, but is denied that right by the Senator from Missouri as a man of this committee, to investigate the conditions in that case. Senator Roed married. He is married to that commonly and generally to the extent that might affect the result in an election citizen of the county so powerfully perceived that right to be entitled to a Senate committee could possibly go into the state. 11,398 BORN IN D.

Whv We're In Haiti Whv We're In Haiti The American occupation of Haiti is directly traceable to a single concession. The invasion of our small, defenseless, and unoffending neighbor by the armed forces of the United States, the destruction of its more than centuries old liberties, the killing of 3,000 peaceable Haitians, including women and children, the incidental death of a score of American boys wearing the United States uniform are due primarily to the desire of a small group of New York financiers to recoup themselves for their loss in a gamble. The venture in question is the so-called National Railroad of Haiti, a road never more than begun, over which no trains have ever been run, which, nevertheless, in consequence of a treaty imposed by "military pressure," those being the words of the admiral who imposed it, has paid the bankers 100 cents on the dollar in capital and 6 per cent interest out of the funds which those same bankers forced the Government of Haiti to borrow from them. To make this possible the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and State Department have worked diligently and at the expense of the American taxpayer. This is not a question of opinion but of fact, verifiable by anyone who cares to investigate. It constitutes a complete violation of fundamental American principles and is a gross and total violation of the spirit and letter of the immortal doctrine of President Monroe, which is often invoked to justify the proceedings of the American officeholders who are responsible. In reality it is a betrayal of the American people, to whom the facts have been misrepresented, when they could not be concealed by official propaganda. TOMORROW WE'LL BOTH BE IN HELL! Picture 4.

GREEKS FALTER BEFORE ONRUSH OF WILBERFORCE Richie's Long Shots From Floor Spell Defeat For Athenians JACKSON STARS UNTIL HE IS INJURED Spectacular tosses from the court by Richie, Wilberforce University's forward gave the Western invaders a 45 to 34 victory over the Athenians Wednesday night in one of the most exciting and scintillating contest ever witnessed on the New Albert floor. High spirit was manifest through the evening and in hundreds of spectators who skipped the audience, shouted and beloved for both teams with the same urgency. Willierforce drew first bloom, off a field goal by center for a 3-point shot, giving the 21-year-old Wong Wang Ward with a mark from near the center of the court and all was poached. The odds drive began and Eriche could not be stopped until the half end of the game. In that first session Pobbs, Simonson and Sparks, the batter, showed U. star making his first appearance with the bats, fought hard to register successive goals but the visitors' defense was able to clever tossing by Ward and Carter in the first five minutes of the second half put the visitors on the long end of a 30 to 21 Ward was a holy terror, now moving on the wild game around the goal. Jackson started the three of a little spurt with 3 long shots from the center of the court. His 15 was injured and he had to replay. On the next tap-off Spears debilitated the visitor's defense and sent a short one force under the net and the crowd went wild. Spears added another outburst and the Greeks had pulled up within five points of the visitor's head. Force Is Fast. At this time, Witherforce jumped out of a brief comma, closing in on the local's defense and seizing a passing game that bewildered the Greeks and netted them the game. In the closing minutes it was likely who brought defeat to the allies. The locals were the jihadists, holding high hopes to a total of eighteen points and in the game ended the Westerforce won their last scheduled contest, 45 to 24. The most outstanding players on the Witherforce team were Ward Carter and Richele, the latter being the total of 15 points. Jackson and Simpson led the local attack. The game as compared with the Morgan-Force contest, on Monday night, was just as thrilling even though the score was high. Evans whose arm was hurt a thief at 10 game, was unable to play.

Page Four TERM DOUGLASS HIGH ASSEMBLY REAL DISGRACE YELLS THERE HEARD ON THE TOP FLOOR (Seventh of a series of article by an alumnus of Douglass High School) Nowhere has Douglass Hi administration failed more conspicuously than in the Douglass High Auditorium. There it has clearly revealed its incapacity to manage anything above a third rate country circus. In this assembly, the erudite officials have given full rein to cherished educational shenanigans and peccadilloes. An elaborately auditorium is surely put in a school building for something. In the response school, both literally and figuratively. In the assembly, a one good or bad, is given to the institution. There is the place to develop respect for authority, school The assembly is the clearing house for the whole school. Everything of common interest. Everything of common interest. it is the only convenient place in which all the pupils of a modern public school are required to aid in administering the school. It is obvious that the administration has significantly failed in both respects. Training in Citizenship. In the first place, educators agree that a school assembly should give training in citizenship. A principal who fails to use his authority for the primary aim, accordingly, not making the best possible use of his knowledge. What sort of training in citizenship have the Dougress High youngsters received in Principal Mason's training? In accordance with responsible citizens be trained in an assembly, where no combination of order or respect for authority exists, cool deliberation and preliminary practice in meetings, where boys and girls rudely shout down performers whose纪律 do not A secondary school should certainly train young people some kind of leadership in the body profession, the best place the school can train for those things. Good Habits. The assoc. with the largest in the school. Moreover, it is often the only place the principal meets all of them at once. Consistently good behavior is indicated there, the school breaks down and falls in Sangion. But what is going to be the situation of future citizens in the school? The highest official in the school? What respect can the principal's schoolmates cease any authority, get from boy and girl students who show their respect to the school? What support can free and orderly government ever get from children who, in their adolescence, are not ready to accept people be trained for participation in democratic government. That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advices Women On Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessings of motherhood." writes Mrs. Margaret Burton, mother of three children, subject to periods of terrible suffering and infliction of little dismember and a time compounded by the horrors of other children. She knows the secret of my happiness, and I will write me," Mrs. Burton offers her advice. "I will write to you, a nursing girl.

Correspondence will be strictly Pains in Side Weakness in Back "I suffered so much last spring with my right side, sore pain and a weakness in my back" says Mrs. Core Smith, of 422 Pelham St., Montgomery, Ala., whose picture is printed above. "At times it seemed I could not stand it. When I would have to stand on my feet the pain was very bad. I would get hurt, knew I must take something.

Manufactured in the South and used by women for more than 45 years. For sale by drugstores everywhere. CARDUI A Beneficial Tonic if they are living in an echolocacy? Notelius Example Then, can we be surprised at mobs and disorderly crowd, when our leading institutions of learning set such a notorious example, grave misgivings about the future of our youngsters and the race they are supposed to lead. We hate to think where leaders with such training have. How can we spend millions on school plants, and put them in the care of men who misuse them? Still, we do not have to speculate on the future consequences of maladministration in our High School. The present results are enough to stagger us. The assembly which should be the pivot in school organization, is generally reported to have become a storm center, from which disorder radiates to every corner of the institution. Imagine the effect on a school, if children in the auditorium on the first floor, disturb classes in the top of the building by their yelling and screaming: What is going to be the resulting morale of a school, if pupils come from the assembly to their classes in disorder? What can any teacher do, if he must spend a large part of the period getting his students in order, after the latter are fresh from a backchandrian orgy in the auditorium? It is said that the administration recently made one of its perilous organizations of the High School By the way, that seems to be one of the favorite pastimes. But, to go on, it seems to have been the third and fourth year pupils responsible for conduct of the student body. In addition, it made some of them grand marshals, and conferred various military dignities on others. Yet, how can funners and seniors have the proper restraining influence on the younger pupils, when they are not so well-versed in coordinating the most assembly exercises in the school? Grand marshals, tartans and polémarchs certainly cannot expect to control their frivolous trivial example. If they evince incredible lack of system and self-control in their own meetings, what would happen if they have on others? There is surely something wrong with an administration that condones and encourages much anomalies in its organization. The truth in a nutshell is that if a principal cannot command respect and obedience, no one can be trusted to give them. Every plan for organization — or rather, disorganization — is sure to fail, for precisely the same reason. How can teachers get wholesome respect from pupils, if they stand in the assembly like ushers, while the children sit and disport them? How can teachers be successful, you, I bear that teachers are asked to sit through these tireless exercises. By thus passing the back and trying to make faculty bear the children in an incompetence, the administration can succeed in making it more evident. Really armed guards would be necessary to secure order in the Dougson High School auditorium, the public platform. The governor may yet have to order out the state militia, to preserve a minimum of quiet, to preserve if federal troops are not required. Teacher On Guard If school officials really have control of the pupils, why are teachers required to watch and attend bedlam during these exercises? Furthermore, if the administration has the responsibility of the students who attend bedlam, what are they watching them, while in school. Moreover, why does the vice-president sometimes when children exercise tered the auditorium in disorder? Why does the principal not start himself? Why do school officials often have someone to play the piano, to get pupils quiet, in the school. Again, why are teachers in the Douglass High School so severely criticized, when they fail to get to unmakehift programs for the assembly? Anything to keep the turbulent youngsters quiet is in order. If we take a look at the present organization, or lack of it, we can find the source of much trouble divided into four lunch groups, eating at the third fourth, fifth and sixth periods, respectively. However, they do not speak all of any of the words, and they are after hurrying through their midday meal, the children are ushered into the assembly, where they frequently spend more than half of their time coming to exercises of various kinds. Hurrying Lunchcon This is not the place to call attention to obviously brutalizing effect of hurrying children through office at the zoo. But, the bad results of having them listen to cheap, impatient inmigrants. We somehow suspect that the school administration must have advised Mr. Hawkins against suggested that he make a radical change in the use of the auditorium. Community Disgrace No matter how clever and versatile Mr. Hawkins may be, it may be in adapting themselves to this unheard of situation, no matter how ingenious they may be. Miserize disorder, no matter how cleverly they may pass the buck to "more teachers". Douglass High Auditorium exercises can only be under the grace, under the presuppositions. It is time to quit using a million and a half dollar plant, as an experimental station for trying out new administration techniques in the administration. Tax-payers do not want the school they are paying for, to be a dumbing ground, for their students to be citizens of Baltimore demand sound, practical administration and conditions favorable for good teaching, rather than prognosis sheets and schoolmen. In short, they want a school, not an intellectual cloud cuckoo-town, who do not ask patrons to take our word without question. Why cannot they see for themselves? They are cordially invited to the coursete High School, to find questions and verify our statements. LOVE HAPPINESS LUCK and PROSPERITY Thousands made happy everywhere.

MALONE VISITS FLORIDA FOR BISHOPS' MEET Ex-Poro President Said To Have Refused Compromise Again DIVORCE SUIT TO BE TRIED MARCH 21 Group Of St. Louis Business Men Declared Interested In Case ST. LOUIS, MO., (A. N. P.)—The local public here in St. Louis, as well as observers generally throut out the country, now that the first thrills of the Malone divorce and partition suit have subsided, are beginning to delve somewhat into the background of the famous case. Pending the hearing in Judge Hartman's court on March 21, to decide whether the temporary receivership shall be made permanent, onlookers are contenting themselves with conjectures regarding the attitude of Mr. Malone, the complainant. Some there are who thought that even after the suit was filed and a receiver appointed, Malone would retreat from his disastrous stand because of the tremendous that court proceedings and the receivership would naturally entail. The white temporary receiver and his assistants, who are also white, will draw down a big jig percentage of the money they are short, short time they are in charge, although there has been nothing for them to do save to keep tab on the receipts. Disbursements have been held down to the minimum as the more money there is on hand when the larger the share the receiver draws down. Malone In Florida Mr. Malone who has been in Florida for the past ten days hollowing with the Bishops and ministers of the A. M. E. Church, who met at Jacksonville, has been adamant when approached by those interested in encouraging settlement of the suit. Some attribute to him and "have it or break it up" attitude. Others think he has a contract with his lawyers and when he ever pleads not accepting the settlement which hisife and her layers offered in order to avoid hiring the case in the courts. But those on the inside put forward suit another version of the case and when even the settlement there has been plotting with a group of well-known St. Louis men and planning for this move. This group is said to have influenced the selection of Forester, Mr. Malone's lawyer, known as one of the most damage suit lawyers in Missouri. A prominent educator said to have a great deal of influence over Malone is reputed by these informants to have been the "brains behind the combination", which included several professional and business men and a social worker or two. It was this group of schemers they decide who so actively poisoned public opinion against Mrs. Malone at the time the suit was first filed. Motives "What could have been their motive?" is the question uppermost in the minds of those discussing this phase of the case. The idea as these people have figured it out is that if Malone was victorious, his whistle of advisers would all come out, and the would be less if he gained a part of the business they would all be taken care of with jobs. Prospects for their success are carefully as rosace as before the suit was planned. General opinion now that the public has had an opportunity to hear Mrs. Malone's side of the case and they say she's awerved sharply in her favor and a majority express the belief that with a fair handling of the case, she will win with ease.

QUAKERS REAL CHRISTIANS IN EYES OF WORLD THEY WON'T FIGHT; HAVE NO ENEMIES Pickens Recalls They Gave BY WILLIAM PICKENS, A. N. P. RUSSIA.—One may not doubt the genuineness of the religious conscience after one knows well "the Quakers." One of the best credentials one can have when crossing the suspicious frontiers between two discordant European states, is to say: "I am going to the Friends' House, or to the Quakers' Center." Immediately the guardian of the frontier shows less suspicion of the "forgier." For if one is looking for the "quakers," he must be at least a decent and reliable fellow. We had many illustrations of this during our stay and travels for two months in muddled northern Europe. The English are more suspicious about admitting strangers to their little island than they have to in many generations, perhaps. That is a part of the legacy of the World War. But when we reached the port in south England, "Where are you going?" queried the Scotland Yard passport inspector, with considerable satisfaction, in his voice, "My house." "The passport officer interrupted us with identity and a fainting of relief in his tones: 'Oh, the new place on Euston Road, Good!' And in five seconds he had signed on "allen landing card," without who no foreigner could give a ship and seize a British sail. "To the Kwacker Juerro," we said in German and immediately the German officers lost all interest in searching our bags for whiskey or cigars. The Poles are somewhat suspicious of the German frontier and awfully disgracefully suspicious of the Russian borders. Journeying through Poland, we encountered some young Poles, one of whom could tell English. We were always frank and open about our journey to Russia, never concealing the fact that we were bound for shin. These young men immediatly identified Frighten us about "the Solsheviks." They told how almost impossible it would be to get "into Russia," and that it may be worse to go out. They spoke of German generals, the Russians when we referred to it as an interesting experiment. SUSPICIOUS They were a bit less suspicious of me because of my friskiness and apparent unconcern, perhaps,—but when they asked what, meanwhile, I was doing, I countered: "Well, in the first place I am going to visit my friends at the Quaker Center there."—One of them remarked: "We have Quakers in resiew, and then them in"—"The Society friends are to be doing good work amore, all of you." QUAKERS ALL RIGHT QUAKERS ALL HIGH "Yes," said one, with a grin; "those Quakers are all right, the only thing about them is that they are too good to those Russians." That induced pliment was the final one he could have paid for the benefit meant was that胜利 of Friends dealt impartially as between Poles and Russians. Stop and analyze his statement; he did NOT say that the Quakers were not good enough to the Poles, or that they were better to the Russians than to the Poles—but that they were too good to Russians to suit the Poles who are an enemy to the Russians. One felt as the Pole spoke, that the Poles really had greater respect for friends because they were important as between Poles and Russians. The aim of the Pole was uttered with a grin and a tone of facetiousness. The young fellow was a college graduate and a journalist, and no doubt thoroughly appreciated the weakness of his position. IN RUSSIA And in Russia, when a "powerful political leader was explaining to me that Russia did not look with favor upon the invasion or intermedding of foreign religious organizations for any purpose, implying that the Russian people spoke of the Friends in Borthogleski street (immediately he qualified his sweeping statement: "Well, the Quakers...of all the religious sects, they are most tolerable. They appear to do the service which they profess to do doing and do not meddle with them, don't concern them, they would not come in...But" he concluded, "they are the least undesirable of all." GAVE UP SLAVES These are the people who, in America, their slaves in obedience to their own consciences, and without a war—who have headed the procession of those who have turned their backs on military murder and march bravely toward the temple of universal peace,—who even in savage South Africa dare to stand against the "coor or bar" of the enemy, who led Russian babies when their own nations and other nations were cutlessly attacking Russia, babies, paupers and all. They have stoutly refused to be used as the enemies of any race or any nation. They have maintained that they are brothers in spirit,—that they will sacrifice for their country and go to jail for it, but that they will neither hate nor kill others for it. BELIEVE IN LEGAL Because one of the most friendly of friends, John P. Welcher, of London, was arranging most of our lectures in Europe, we have had the opportunity of seeing the Friends at close range—and they have stood up well in the "close-up." In many places they have shared that they wives and children and other friends. And they are not as a rule actors in an Equality Drama— GOOD LOOKS An easy road to fame NO OTHER single factor means so much to the woman of today as does her beauty.

NEARLY LYNCHED PRISONER IS NOW FOUND INNOCENT NEW YORK—How John Wilson barely escaped lynching, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to die in the electric chair while he was in fact an innocent man, is revealed in subsequent testimony upon which the Commonwealth's attorney has recommended his retrial, near tragedy of southern lynch law.

In a statement given out to the press, Brennan, who is supporting Dever, declared that Thompson's main support came from the black belt of the boroughs. Thompson retaliated by using the phrase popularized by Roscoe C. Simmons during the way-days that "A democratic president had sent his deputy secretary and a black huer that is good enough to pull a trigger in defense of this country is good enough to mark a ballot for me." Brennan's statement was due to the fact that though the Nexpos in Chicago had received the vote for the democratic administration as under the republican, ninety-nine percent of them voted for Thompson in the primaries and the other one percent cast their ballots for the republican candidate of the Dereen Greer or not the Negro vote will be split between Thompson and Bill Robertson, independent republican candidate is a question of much interest, but it is generally conceded that the majority will stick to "Big Bill" Thompson who apparently holds them hand through personal popularity. Protest meetings are being held over the city as a result of Mayor Devers interview. Dever has tightened up on the second ward, police raiding the gambling houses which have been running wide open.

HUMAN MINDS ALL THE SAME SAYS SCIENTIST NEW YORK.—There is no reason for supposing any essential difference to exist between the white and black man's mind", according to Prof., R. F. Alfred Hoerrle, whose conclusion is reached after studies of the Bantu people of Africa and which is published in his journal of philosophical studies. Commenting on those conclusions, according to the National Association of Colored People, Prof Hoerrle says, "As regards power to assimilate the white man's civilization, the available evidence is for rather than against the Bantu. On the material side, de-terribalized natives living in town locations are rapidly acquiring the white man's standard of living in respect to housing, furniture, games, and leisure, the skill to use the white man's "ols and machines, else whites would find it necessary to erect color-bars. On the spiritual side, he says "Let alone the spread of Christianity among them, individuals have successfully sought and achieved higher education and a beneficial training in Europe and America" He cited the case of six medical man of pure Bantu descent, who have acquired their professional qualifications at Edinburgh and other medical schools. The essential difference between white and black at present, Prof Houreville believes to be different social traditions and not in any caused by difference in type or degree of intellectual capacity.

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

"One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years. "Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation." Thefdord's BLACK·DRAUGHT For Constipation MORE THEATRES BOXING AT THE GOLDFIELD In the initial boxing show at the Goldfield Theater, South Baltimore Wednesday night, young Young "Kid" Norford. The bout was a thriller from start to finish and should have been a draw as both young flywheel fougres and young boxers were the preliminary bouts, Young Lankford won a four round referee decision over Battling Young and an eight round referee decision over the count in the second round of their scheduled four round match. These three boxing contests were the first of a series of bouts to be staged at the Goldfield Theater every Wednesday night. Principals: Jean Stars, the personality girl, Lottie Gee, Mercia Marquez, Teddy Peters, a ton of humor, Santa Revere, Johnny Vigal, the nut; Clarence Robinson, whose feet and voice won't quilt Johnny Murdecai, something different in dancing, Dewey Brown, a black-face clot, Gaulls and Adele. The ladies of the ensemble include Lucha Moses, Adele Williams, Doris Wilson, Lucille Smith, Helena Kingsland, Dorothy Turner, Ollie Bache and Henderson Potter. Miss Lovie Austin at the Piano, Seymour, cornet and the Royal Theatre orchestra accompanying. One night, a couple of years ago, I was asked to jump down to Broadway and give the gang at the "Club Alabama" white, the once over. I was slow about making up my mind but once down there amid an array of beautiful female faces and forms, cleverly staged dancing and plenty of humor I was greatly impressed with the entertainment that the whites were paying for. "This week, that same rite revue, with the exception of a few old oil lady being missing, fully fouled all mallorems over the Royal's patronage, after they have been removed, with high class attractions, for a year ago it was impossible to bring to this city the Club Album revue. cost is an all-star ensemble, each working hard helping to put the thing over. Jen Starr, the personal girl he is after the chorus has executed a drill. She appears as captain of the unit and from that time on riot. She made lasting imprints, rendered "Nobody But My Baby," Lottie Gee handles the opening and proves her ability as a concert performer when she renders "Klub Again." Merci, Marquez, of course this name may be a little hard for some people, so Merci. Every thing about this lady is impressing, her knack of acting as foll for the comedian, one was more loved than Merci. Teddy Peters, our own Teddy, a comedienne of weight, rocks the house with laughter, giving him joy and help. He does her stuff. Miss Peters, of course, we are not going to get in touch by trying to give you her weight, but every joust of "bliss" is also a joy. He is a "bliss" man. Johnny Vigel and Clarence Robinson entertain with song, dance and comedy, all of which is new in these parts. Vigel, as a comedian, any cook and easily proves that cork does not make the comedian, his work being more on the order of the Harold Lloyd, nut stuff. Because he laughs with their laughter these boys were in a dance that made the house with applause. "My Women" by Vigel and "Because I Love You" by Vigel show their quality as singers. Johnny Mordicaud's best forte is his dancing; in fact he does not have to do any thing else, he being able to the old market basket shaking his head. Dewey Brown under cook is receiving money for working opposite here and Baltimore that are fellow here the Baltimore that are fellow the job for nothing. The boy strums a mean banjo, is funny without being salacious and is a man doing Johnny Hudgins' pantomime. Several scenes are done that are unique and entertaining, one is the looking one in the revue, and that the look one in the revue to select from. The haren dances are done in such a way we can not lift. Just as a dope fiend is cast in an underworld role, built around "Too Many Parties and Too Many Pals" song by Robinson. It carries the idea of a dope fiend and accidentally dope an anachie dance. The climax comes when the dope fiend tries to shoot Gulls and accidentally dope an anachie dance. The costuming is pretty and during and the music is pepy, the girls are pretty and even the men are good working, so what more FAMOUS STAR REVEALS "I owe everything to Herolin Beauty Preparations for they have beautifulized my appearance," says Miss Margaret Beckett the wistful little star of the "Miss Calice" Company.

Albaan Cline" is playing the role of a reivev. We have had a rest from stomach exercises for several weeks but this show revives them, however not to evoke any real fear. I saw the show, the actors seemed to have a superiority complex. They evidently regard Baltimore as a kick town and didn't care. I saw one actor talking to another right in front of the footlights and the other one almost laughed aloud. I think they were disappointed. I was enthusiastic about them. Miss Star and the Black-face comedian were the only persons who seemed to give their best. The audience did not fail to The first scene between the comedian and the lady is such old stuff that it wonder if the lady is old fashioned repair. The unworked comedian got off a lot of clever stuff but made the mistake of letting some of it get showed their disappointment by diminishing applause. The young man was evidently trying to find the level he could use to show his comedian town he displayed poor judgment. He ought to realize there are some sensible people in every town. He showed the show. One young lady rendered "Kiss Me Again" in a manner that would please the most fastidious. The other young lady was charming also. The chorus is pretty and well-trained. However, they seemed to share the feeling of made men dame women; the choreum displayed a form that left nothing to be desired, or to the imagination. Teddy Bears came to her "Drunken Man" act in superb. If prohibition were a complete success she might not be able to remember quite so well, but she has plenty of chance to use her technique on observation. Doughess Fairbanks in the Black Pirate is at the Regent. He is one man who plays, just to see him make dreams come true is an inspiration. Even the smallest boys realize that superb form and perfect fitness can be the appearance of the luckiest man in his profession. Not only can he play the heroes he admired as a boy, but he has the appearance of a present. The beautiful colors of this picture and the minute attention to detail make them seem like animated "Old Masters" in parade. The days and nights pirates are faithfully reproduced. The Regent has given up competing with the Royal in shows and the good acts this week also. Two dark boys who can do anything with their feet open the bill. They are very good, when there is a lust. A white trapeze net is also pleasing. Aunt Jemima, formerly with King Swazey plays alone. The show closes with a novelty dancing or restaurant seating. REGENT The Recent is still offering a vauducee presentation of five big time acts. It is opened by Williams and Seout in a series of tap dancing. The boys work under work and are well received. A tap "Charleston" stool and a tap "Charleston" a winnow Miss of the Phillipine Glands, in the duo spot. With her violin she renders a series of classical selections. A Tampa Marchetta, an Igorotra girl, the daughter of a head hunter. She possesses unusual personality and receives the greatest ovation from Alexander and Ganghier, white, mixed team, wing about upon the trapeze. Especially well received is the "Mary Jane" the male blind-folded is a very clever bag puncher. Ella Kinggold, "Aunt Jemima," has been the revue and has in next to ceoing with a song and dance skit. The quint dress and the box of pancake flour makes the act very original. Reuse of five people does the bill offering song, dance and comedy.

When rumors of a contemplated disturbance were circulated Captain Henry of the Northwestern Dispain stationed special officers near the house in prevent trouble. Saturday night proving uneventful the special detail was withdrawn and Sunday night a brick was hurled through the window by a bunch of men or boys who passed in an automobile. Foster came out to investigate and found the front of his house had been smashed with white cement and his white stone deeps were covered with a lamp black. The police believe that been seen closing their door shortly the brick was broken but was unable to say whether they were guilty of the act. The town block is occupied entirely by whites white the 200 block of Railroad avenue is exclusively colored. Foster was the first race finisher.

In Automobile YE YO YE YOUNGER FOLK Jean Grasshopper's Punishment Joan Grasshopper was angry; so angry that there could be no doubt about his feeling. Why after all should he be angry? He was angry at all of Wingland, every family was to be represented by one male, and had they said one word to him? Not one. To be thus agreed was trying even to be angry. They thought him too gay to care, but he would prove to them that if any Winglet deserved a perch in the assembly, he did. Such information as he did possess on the proposed proposal had been gained from cousin Katydd, "Yes, Joan," Kaydid told him not supporting for one swish of her wings that he know nothing of the conference, "I think it is going to be a great night, in the shape of nothing but all night. In fact, beginning at eventide, I board many whispers among the Winglets." Do you mean to tell me that all the numbers have been invited already?" Joan was too excited to hath him hurt. Yes, I heard Mousse mosquito so night. Why are you so surprised? You have your initiation, of course. Katy never knew just what Joan answered, but he did say something as he hid in the grass and was angry at attack. Ab' he knew what he would do. He would go to the regular meeting place just as if he had been invited, and he would be the one to challenge that they had meant to impede. That could not find him. And then if they had not intended to invite him, surely they would not have the badness to have him in the room. High noon was the appointed hour, and the bedroom by the murmuring break, the play, Long before the old arrived, Joan moved to the bedroom and sat down. Joan, he reached a very low twig of the blue bush. For this he had to call into play all four of his wings as he legs to give him an upward start. A row of twigs mid day. The sun was sending its rays, straight down on the bedroom, and if he had not been urged to imagination to have his own wings, Joan would shatter spot in the grass. Soon the Wing-It is arrived in great numbers and took their places on the branches of the blue bush. All species were represented. The Fly family had sent Philip as its representative. When Jean learned this he was more certain than ever that he had been only accidentally overlooked. Jimmy Mosquito, with his among-singing was among the first to arrive though it was daylight and he had said that was his sleeping time. Each of the one hundred thousand species of the fleete family had sent a delegate, and it was no difficult task with as many present to have a member of their family elected children. Plapper Motel's father perched restlessly, for it was a known fact that Flapper's burns were serious. Poor Grandfather Gint was there, worried as usual about his thousand grandchildren. To Jean's simple even, the disgraced Mr. Humble, too had been asked, and he, the king of the meadow, had been silicated. Indeed it was from this member that Jean learned why he had been so seemed. Humble had perched he side Philip quite nearتام and had begun whispering. Most likely he had failed to distinguish Jean's green coat from the leaf. Anyhow whether he saw Jean or not he began gossiping and continued even after Mr. Stind Bocto called the meeting to order. "Philip, you old mascal." Bumble said, "you are a lucky one." The Winghts continued Bumble, "Because," continued Bumble, "as much whichevers as you are one would think that the Winghts would have bored you." And one would hardly have expected to see a Winght as lazy as you have reported the aunted Philp. "Philip, you old mascal hardly had any meeting without us," explained the conceived Bumble. "Ha, that's what Joan Grosshopper thought," replied Philin. thought," replied Philip. "I mean, please "heeped out his green coat."

"Jean Grasshopper was not left out because he was lazy and hopped through the woods. Well what was the reason? Philip was now thoroughly interested. "It's a long story. One day he and I went to a dance. Anne soaked Joe for playing all summer and begging all winter." "Which is certainly true," interrupted him. "But When Anne told him about this, he became angry and hagged at her because she had to move so slowly on the dance floor. He ragged that he could both hop and fly." "He can't fly high though. Can he put in Philly Fly, who was just a wee bit jealous, but he certainly has four good wines." "What did Amie do?" asked Philip says to hear the rest. "Told Mr. Beetle listen to that?" Philip had great respect for Mr. Beetle's jokemouth. But he didn't but you know Benny is a revengeful Winglet. He told Mr. Beetle if Jean Grasshopper came to the assembly that he, Benny, was going to sting everyone and make a confusion to break up the meeting. "What did Mr. Beetle decide then?" questioned Philip. "He finally agreed not to invite him to the assembly the case," concluded Mr. Humbie Lee. "So that's the way of it," thought Jean, "That's why they left me out, oh." He continued to think of Benny grievous. He gave. So proceeded was he that momentously he rubbed the spiny surface of his thighs against the wing-cover. Such a cracking sound he made that all the men in the room were shocked and Philip discovering Jean right beside them, shrieked out above all the continuation. "Jean Grasshopper is here!" (Read in this column next week how the Winglets punished Jean for intruding.) TWO MEN GET THREE MONTHS FOR ASSAULTS Two men were sentenced to three month each by Magistrate O'Donell in the Southern Police Station on charges of attempted criminal assault Friday. They were against Richard Base 25, Clover, Va. by Mrs. Mary Young were to the effect that he had attempted to abuse her six year old daughter Beatrice. The alleged assault took place in their home at 727 100-foot square. The sufficient evidence the charge was changed to common assault and Page was given three months. A similar disposition resulted in the case of Robert Chase, 26 Hammacker Court, who was charged with assault against Vince Smith, age 40, 22 Reddings Court. He was also given three months. Six Morris reported to police that his sixteen months' old baby, Finny, was found dead by the fire on Burpury street early Tuesday. The address in the article headed "Man Held When Girl is Found in Room," was incorrectly given as 714 Dobbin Street. It should have read 744 Dobbin Street.

That is just the kind of quarrel I have for you. I must admit that I have been harboring it for two or three weeks. Why don't you make use of your column? I had hoped that here this year stories and poems would have been submitted in such numbers as to cause confusion in selection. If you have followed "Letter Box", you have probably noticed that the poem published two weeks ago and the sketch of last week were the contributions of a boy and girl of other localities. We welcome you of town members, but it would be sad to have to admit that these members are no a interested in the section than in town members. Welcome at all times your letters and original work. Do not hesitate because it lacks perfection. Time and training alone make that. Go over your compositions and revise them as best you can, then submit them for consideration. Much latent talent is found among the younger folk. In the newspaper of last week there appeared a discussion concerning prodigies. This was the story of the twelve year old Barbara Follet of New Haven who is writing her second book, her first appeared when she was nine. In a magazine Baltimore girl, who will be ten in May, has been reciting original verses since she was eight. I think the following poem, one of her earliest, is most delicately phrased: Stopping in an afternoon fashion. Stop, my window, the soft Stood at my window in the soft night air; All night long the frost had lain like a fairy crypt on the window- pane."

Aunt Pay ANSWERS Q—Is Mocha coffee still availabl- E. L. T. A—Coffee was originally shipped from the port of Mocha, to which it owes the name of "Mocha". But for about 200 years nothing has been shipped from that port, which has been closed by drifting sands. This name, however, has earned a certain kind of high grade coffee. Abysinia now ships a grade of Mocha, and much of that kind of coffee is shipped from Aden, Arabia.

I had thought that there might be an opportunity to discover this last week, since there are a few men about town who were eligible to appear at the respective affairs of the D. D. Club and the Lolectas on Monday night, the dance of the Bon Temps Club on Thursday, and the Asco and Adelphian festivities Friday. Thus far, though, I have not encountered anyone who took them all in, so the matter remains a mystery. Meanwhile, language is being used lavishly and—I might say—appropriately in declaring the glories of each event. rage Light NANCY Dear Naila. It has long been said that Jack a dull boy, but there is what would happen to the pooed. I had thought that they discover this last week, since town who were cligible to all of the D. D. Club and the Lance of the Bon Tempis Club and Adelphian festivities. Fri not encountered anyone who remains a mystery. Mean lavishly and—I might say—a glories of each event. The D. Ds. have already been widely and deeply paragraphed in the previous letter so that I pass on to the Laberdes, a group of young matrons whose names have been familiar to Baltimore since their inter-irrigation days. Most of them married early—too early, perhaps, to have enjoyed all the harbours, privileges and gifts that have been his compressions even as it has difficulties. These women have been married long enough to have solved each in her own way whatever problems there are incidental to marriage. They have been married to a minimum. Their children, in cases where there are any, are beyond the age where they demand every bit of a mother's attention. And now at a time when most of her pet husbands, to get along with husbands, or to get rid of husbands, these women still young, face life with the serenity which comes with perfect adjustment. They have their bisease and they devote the major part in association with one another. You will remember them all. First there is Lilian Eckes Watkins, she of the glorious complexion; and let me say incidentally that the years have dealt most kindly with that complexion too. Then there are the two deffersions, Bessie and Camille, who can easily see the eyes as ever they possess. Bessie is now Mrs. Adger and Venanda, too, has affixed the title Mrs. to her name, Evelyn Bart Credit is Jerome's wife and another one of the group, Maude Perkins Dotson, is the last whom can name right the crowd. Their party reflected their vivacity and their guests were delightfully entertained. "Refreshing" is the word that the Ron Tempis dance brings to mind, for it was all of that, and I doff an admiring chapeau to this club for the effect which they produced at their Thursday affair. Right here, let me tell you how Mary Brown, Margaret Bryant, Olga Chambers, Dorothy Coleman, Olga Dorsey, Ruth Ungs, Sara Fernandes, Robert Holmes, Noel Johnson, Sally Logan, Milford Meacham, Tate Tierney, Mary Scofield, Tate Tierney, Wenner. You know the social season is on the wane and one has become accustomed to seeing the same people in practically the same costumes, and has heard over and over again "The Birth of the Blues" or "Moonlight on the Canges" or "Walt Disney"; it's quently difficult to put all the punch into a party that is necessary to make it go over. But this group got it and got it by the very simple device of bringing out some new people. By "new" don't understand, by "all" don't understand, by "all" I mean, rather, the people who don't elect to make a fetish of Society. It's a clever stunt; try the next time you at your wits' end to know what to do to make things go. The new people introduce new clothes and thususus, too, just as you'll have the interest in the combination. And no; to the Adelphians; I shouldn't attempt to mention them singly for their name is legion. Actually Diogenes in his memorable search for that honest man had a lead-pipe cinch of it in common to what I about to find a finding to a prospective member a member or a prospective member, should I essay the task. They, likewise, were 'on enough to recognize their disadvantage in attempting to stage a dance after so many colorful dances had already been given; and their solved their difficulty through their and their highs. Johnny Dobyns and his boys were on hand to supply the former. Need I say more? The latter was obtained by means of a contrivance used so successfully in Washington. A crystal ball with an irregular surface was suspended from the center of the cornelled lights from each of the four corners of the bail. The crystal ball cast reflections of these lights with respendent effect. Little Peggy Williams, the young hopeful of the Henry Williams' became suddenly and seriously ill last Monday morning and was rushed to Horkins Hospital where she goe rning. That news came to my Monday evening, I have heard nothing since despite my efforts to get the family over the telephone.

The servant dog disguised himself as the servant dog. From the questioning the servant bears that she shaped a common history in their youth. The servant allows the questioner the first play, Fangon Boccher entertained with a very creable dance number entitled, "The Justice of the Jester," James Waters rendered a blush so The second platter depleted the rest of a very wealthy man to his brother whom he has never seen before, and who said that will burden or send him to his death for having committed a murder. The wealthy brother reviewed his brother's hopes for commutation of that crime, and said that he had secured for him a pardon. However, at the destined hour the prison chaplain comes to administer the last rites and there the confections are served, and that he has delivered him might be opened a few moments of bitter anguish. Concluding the program, Funion brother annulled the death of a friend in a very excellent tashkil.

I already business fallen below the regular schedule at this time of the year. The Columbia, Burlesque has a close several companies that were to play in the playground of the Theatres, some are going into permanent stock. The colored theatres are not doing much any more, some excuse, so this is one well. It is always off campanying year, but after election, money will be gone on the trees as it is not hard to reach on bushes and all you will have to do is to stop and gather in the coln, but I am not going to wait for the playground to be open. I can not, I must make now, I suppose you are wondering how! Well, this is how. They open at April 1st, old Suffy is doing this. I was just thinking and wondering if we had some real colored pictures with real stars appearing photography, big纪老 stories good photography, big details carefully looked after, a real director and camera man. I mean a picture that would compare favorites, like Brenna Fox and Paramount. I feel sure it would do business. Would you believe that I am still booking "Easy Money", a picture that I made about five years ago of a girl I met this year. This is what I do believe that colored pictures will make money for colored theaters and the ones who produce them, so I am going to try to understand what it means of speaking of made and then see how many live managers we have. In fact, I think if we had some firm theaters, it would mean a sure profit, all colored theaters, but it does cost a lot of money to put a picture out, when you do it right. The public has not the slightest idea of the cost of a movie, but it will say more about this after it. I got it straightout, so that you can understand it, as I myself, will have to gather some more information about anything I am not thoroughly familiar with. I notice the Lincoln Theatre in this city is still playing light vaudeville with their pictures and is doing nothing, but it could a lot of money to run a house like the Lincoln. The shows this week are as follows: Midway Theater, Washington, D. C., Beverly Hills, Carnegie. Robert Bentley Theater, Washington, D. C. Bombrey and Baxter, Katie Baxter, La- jole and Two Bits. Blue Mountain Theater, Washington, D. C. Fargo Theater, Fargo, D. C. Palo Alto Theater, Norfolk, Va., John Berringer Co. Hippodrome Theater, Danville, Va. Bilbo, Peterson's Co.

HERE AND THERE Paul Green, whose first play, "In Abraham's Bombon," the Providence Playhouse that it was moved upon to the Garrick last week in rehearsing a performance of "poor whites" of North Carolina. It is reported that Julius Bledsoe, who was later in "In Abraham's Bombon," has broken with the company because of the manner of billing the company. Frank Wiesen, already in the cast, stepped into the role after the curtain had been closed. The company group claims that Bledsoe's not automatically breaks the contract and Wilson will play him. Bledsoe expected to be billed alone but received equal featuring with Rose McClendon and Abba Mitchell. An all-Negro show for white people is the new novelty being Washington Theatre, Houston. The experiment begins with a blues singing act and "The Set" features the bill. Call Vernon 6016 By S. H. Dudley Harry Duval, Manager --- Sunday musical activities in the city included a number of events held at the College, including a ballet. The male quartet of Morgan College song a number of spirituals at the morning service of the church, and the group included "Climbing Up The Ladder," "Little David," "Scandallering My Name," and "Do You Call Christ" institution Church dedicated its new pipe organ before a large audience. Trinity A. M. E. Church had a musical in its celebration of Lincoln-Douglas Day. The main feature of its music was a recital of spirituals and folk songs aggregation of singers has been highly applauded in all its appearances and is regarded as one of the leading glee clubs of the East. GENERAL The primitive African motif is steadily making its impress upon the classic music of modern composers. One of the best feature of the group is to two songs with African themes played by the Maxwell House Orchestra over the net work of stations the National Broadway. The first of the songs was an intermezzo, "Kukokomora" from "Girl Interrupted" by Albert Kettley. The other selection was a number by Albert Kettley entitled "Jungle Drums." The reports recording the sinking of the summer City of Annapolis Thursday tell a story of the spiritual and tragic aspects that has come to have a tragic aspect. It was reported that while many white passengers on board were rushing about telling stories of their abolitions, or then sang a spiritual or two. Only a people with such a background the Negro would place spiritual music before seeking to save their lives. **Williams' Singers** The Williams' Singers will appear in Richmond, April 22.

I went to Columbus and found a beautiful little play house, but no stage room. It is a shame that such beautiful little theatres, so well managed, I saw the "Lucky Samba" company there, playing the Lyceum Theatre, the old house where I used to play the "Lucky Samba" stage. When Billy Higgins and I walked in the stage, door I was accorded a hearty welcome by the local stage house. We talked of good old days for it. It really made me feel good to have them to my side, so good to be a member of the "Samba" company. The "Lucky Samba" company is doing fine business, the show is great, the actors are well cared for we expect with Jesse Shipp at the helm! I spent several pleasant hours with Jesse Shipp and a few others. All of my meetings were spent with Billy Higgins and Eric Rowe, and there is no question what? On my arrival home, I found that Mr. Lloyd Wyckes, my general manager, was in the office. Mr. C.

Nevertheless, we managed to bring in WJZ fairly well at 10 p.m. where the Utica Singers again presented a program of spiritulals. Also heard Marion Talley, Metropolitan opera star on the same program. FLETCHER HENDERSON Fletcher Henderson and his orchestra broadcast from WOR. Newark, or this night.

PRODUCTION Page Ten STAGE NEEDS TALENT SAYS SAMMY GRAHAM Many So-Called Actors Would And Maids CALLS IRVIN C. MILLER LEADING PRODUCER Writer Thinks Managers In Costumes WASHINGTON. — Many show producers have robbed private homes of good maids and chauffeurs, declares Sammy Graham, in commenting on the need of the stage for more talent. "1926 was a real bad season for the tab shows of ten and twelve people, but she's a great season for the large shows," continued Graham, and as chief deputy and director of the Actor's Union, it witnessed a lot of shows closing and calling on the union for help. Quite a few persons have asked "what is wrong with the show business?" There is nothing the matter with the show business, it is now better for the colored performer than the actor. The only trouble lies in the fact there are too many people on the stage that do not belong there. Since becoming manager of the Howard Theatre I can be in contact with a lot of Managers, some of them have little tab shows but not dressed. Wrong Investments The first hundred dollars the tail manager gets he invests in in an automobile instead of costing his show. Automobiles are all right to have when you are permanently on the road with your shows. On the trains, and you will more than likely complete your jumps on time. This idea of buying an automobile and shipping part of the company by train and part in the car is all you need. You always be there in time for work and not worn out from working on the road with blowouts and engine trouble, and arriving at their destination looking like huboos. After years of constant struggling tryin C. Miller is now recognizing the greatest colored show producer the best of him. He has four shows and every one of them is a success. He costumes his shows and secures them to the liking of the public and hires principals to deliver his goods and drills his chores to the minute. All of his shows are a box office attraction and any manager can expect, and do business with any Miller show. The singiest show on the road in '26 was Chappello and Skinnette's "Kentucky Sue" company, which played the Howard Theatre, and Carmouche and Mitchell had the best drilled and dancing chorus. "Brother and sister performer wake up and being the public something now, slowly and originate a new idea of how to sell your goods. Oh, how we need more Irvin C. Millers today."

Recently, the show moved from the Provincetown Playhouse to the Garrett Theater, and Bledsoe refused to appear at the Garrett unless he was paid. The white actors protested and Bledsoe did not appear. The Equity has been asked to adjudicate the matter. Last week's AFRO contained 500 different news articles and 201 advertisements—20 pages. The week before there were 576 different news articles and 251 ad pages and 24 pages. The AFRO is our money's worth. It's the world's newsiest weekly. THE Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly PHILLY BAND HAS NEW INSTRUMENTS PHILLY BAND HAS NEW INSTRUMENTS PHILADELPHIA, PA. (ANP) With a set of brand new Coin instruments from drum to baton, the Robert C. Goddin Band of Philadelphia, under the direction of J. Lawrence Grinnell, is hard at work preparing to "win a few more prizes" during the year 1927. Pitted against some of the best bands of the country in the Interstate Band Contest, held annually, the Robert C. Goddin Band has emerged victorious each time withing from such organizations as the famous 15th Regimental Band, New York City, the Imperial Elks Band, New York City, the A.

MARIE LUCAS ONCE ENTERTAINED PRINCE The only colored child in an English city — appearing at a musical where the Prince of Wales was guest — directing the music of such successes as "7-11," these are some of the reminiscences of Marie Anne who took her mother character sketch at the Regent last week. Miss Lucas was born in Boston and spent her early childhood in London and other English cities and mother studied and taught music. Her education was completed upon her return to Boston. She is now appearing in a character and blackface sketch with a shaggy hairstyle. Miss Lucas act is filled with humor. She makes a laughable interpretation of a lady of the old days trying to meet with the jazz of a modern cabaret, you there is something in her acting which is reminiscent of the polish and finesse of the symphonist. It is hard to hide real culture. Carey Lewis Wins Promotion CHICAGO.-Carsey B. Lewis, who for the past year has been assistant manager of the Metropolitan Theatre, 47th and Grand Boulevard, was unanimously voted manager at the Board of Directors, last meeting. There are 25 colored and 10 whites on the payroll. PHOTO - PLAYS BY GEORGE D. TYLER This bit of exposition will not please some theatrical people. The ultra modernists among audiences will also turn up their noses with a sneer. It concerns the father of eight, or men, who has probably received many from stage spotlights than from the sun. (There are several other little girls similar to her.) She is a juvenile star and is well versed in footlight department, courses, smiles and other puppetry, and also dances and songs. Dances with the free abandon which only youth can portray; dances with all the grace of a fairy creature and yet with all the boothhome, suggestive contortions known to women who star at shows "for men only." She sings the songs which do not warn the audience of the sex impulse when song by one who is neither young nor innocent. She will say, "We are developing a future for her. Little girls do not necessarily have the skills to hold pictures with picture books and dolls. Later, she will be a stage artist." Possibly little girls may do with THEY DO NEED CHILDHOOD Members of the Chicago Civic Opera sang "Alda" at the lyric last week. It was a great performance. Trained dramatic singers with all background of musical italian sang an old tale of the days of the flourishing black empires of Egypt and Ethiopia. The local Africans were fair Nords and experienced complexed Latines. Negro singers usually go to Europe for their opera appearances. The white press is given considerable space to the discussion of children attending the theatre, a municipal court and a disastrous fire in Montreal added strength to the newspapers contention that managers in the theatre should adhere to our theatres' rules and subject to the danger of fire and also in this choice smut of the vanderville houses. It is hard for managers to turn away dimes. Boys of ten and twelve are apreciative enough to yell out "Sing 'em, Mama!" when an address sings a song intended for NOW UNDER DIRECTION OF GEO. W. BENNETHUM THEATRES WITH CLARENCE SMITH AND DINA SCOTT COMEDIANS OF CLASS AND A Juvenile Artistry White Ethiopians Turning Away Dimes chiefly bachelors. They also develop a taste for chorus girls who display most flesh and least choreography. The only suggestion which we could offer would be to start at home. Get rid of that photograph record entitled "Shake That Thing" and bliss actors and mannequins to suit your dececy. That would easily make producers THINK. Personality An Asset One of the assets necessary to real success on the stage is that indefinable something called personality. Stage personality may be considered as knowing how to smile and compel the audience to try to butress that you are trying to butress that you can not make beautiful bows will pay well for it. Eddie Connor's Revue which appeared along with the vaudeville teams at the Regent last week, exhibited the polish and refinement which comes from art. Miss Hilbert. Smallwood was especially well known for dances and stage manners. And Connor's company comes from some of the best families. Each week the public picks as its favorite one of the chorus girls, especially when that girl has some outstanding feature about this week's choice at the Royal happened to be Maria Saunders. Miss Samplers was born in Shreveport, La., and reared in Niagara. She has spent quite a bit of time in the city because of the fact the dearest man in the world lives in Chicago, her husband, Maria calls it home. Five years ago Maria became a member of Billy King's American" company and since that time has alternated between keeping house and trumpeting. Maria likes the stage, to be sure, but says "there is nothing like a fine a husband to return to when you are tired of touring.

Horsey, a member of the Three Eldies, it is reported, has been living with an English woman and having violent raws. Last Friday the houseowner who occupied apartment above him went down to quiet Horsey, and was stabbed by the latter.

Members of the company houseowner refuse to work with Horsey, whom another dancer will displace. The manager will have another dancer sent over to replace Horsey. Chicago Singers To Render "Elijah" CHICAGO.—With a symphony orchestra of 25 pieces under the direction of James A.

Little Eva is portrayed by Virginia Gray, a nine year old child who has the ethereal beauty and the soul of the tragic little Eva. Topsy, in all her英lish abilities, was portrayed by Mom Kay, a white girl. Uncle Tom will be portrayed by James B. Lowe, surpacing Charles Gilpin, in the greatest role that has yet been recorded a Negro in the history of the cinema. Lowe is a natural, instructive actor. He attains the attunement possessor of the spiritual work in his eyes, and all the spiritual qualities that simply could not be expressed by a sophisticated actor.

There the hero is under the enchantment of adoring native girls and subject to the many thrilling episodes which may happen.

Every dowager shakes her head that outcoughs to wonder what the world is coming to. Sermons are preached from every pulp, books are written. Tongues pug everywhere depenancing the poor young folks. Only here and there is a voice Not being in the Ancient Mariner class myself I am able to touch shoulders with some of the very young folks and the more I see of them the more sympathy I see for them. Have you ever known them? Have you ever heard of them? Have you ever felt that there was nothing worth while? I know you have. That is what aids your young people. They have nothing to do. Nobody is interested in them. They have never been taught to appear on themselves for attention, help and consequently they are like an eye or blank juries. Having no permanent of their own they take on what never their environment offers and they are true mirrors of those are of them. Modern "Home" homes, modern years when one came home, years when there were a dozen honestly tasks to perform in the better class homes there were lamps to clean, clothes to carry or the laundry to take. Broad had to be gotten. School clothes had to be changed in to do these tasks and they could not be returned again until the next class. Nowadays, the shaper changes but her make-up, that is, wudt about nine o'clock at night when she takes off her thick skirt and gathers her shoes and dance frock and goes to a night club. Instead of cleaning the bums, she presses a button. Some of them live in apartments and have only to set a match to the gas radiator to have the boos. Woman when she gets up is often a dry bed and has been amounted in the morning by silk coats and pillows in order to restore the living room to its usual appearance. Positing her books on the table there is nothing to do but to powder one's nose, and mind at some saled or look at the Latest "True Story" until mother arrives. What woman that when a car loaded with equally bored friends compacts she dishes down the street and goes to the long that her parents are worried. It has not been so many years that going to school mornings one could find the first dandelion growing up beside the curb. Today our children walk for blocks over gray asphalt streets, that offer no break if they want it. Trees need to grow on the sidewalks and a little child could make chains of maple keys. On a certain street there was a tree from which wild locusts would drop over the street, and their nests. Ever so often someone came to a vacant lot. Try and find one today. One could slide on frosty mornings a few years ago. The coming of Easter brought cries of "Who got an egg?" The children totaled eight million memories. Littering is a lost art. Can one help feeling sorry for these poor youngsters. Ten years ago, even when one was in HI School, going to the movies was an event. And usually on went to the church moving picture show. New-o-day you can hear the sound of the church moving. Don't you feel sorry for one who is tired of one of the world's wonders at sixteen? No wonder they don't want to live until they are old. They have gorged themselves on life already and their minds weary of contemplation of the same old things, break down and we find them voluntarily giving up life. Ten years ago another mother was usually home. If she had to go out to work big sister was talked to very carefully about what mother was trying to accomplish and she was taught to take mother's place. It seems now that the mothers who have not the foolish idea that they are being used as they do, have one other idea, and that is that they don't intend to be put on the shelf before.

Young people are very frank that is their one saving quality. Their very openness is their salvation. Unless driven to it by petty watching and nagging, they are not measures. They simply have never had any childhood. Their rights have never been taken from them. They are strangers in the world, forcing themselves to be blindly for the simple joys and dreams that are their right in childhood.

And they are playing them although they are supposed to have outgrown them. They are trying to find their lost children. That's why I'm sorry for them. They don't need so much preaching. They need a love to play. I don't believe they would have God less if the churches provided such a place for them. Certainly they are not going to hear preaching. They don't need so many books to learn about them. They need books fit for them to read. They hate to hear so many people talking about them, but one understanding person talking to them will help them by the dozens. I am not afraid of the young people. Maybe it's because I am that kind of person. I am not afraid of some of these things are true about myself and I believe that they are true about others.

The New Job As Coal Heaver The holidays, over I began to feel uneasy as I did not relish the prospect of becoming a professional coal heaver. It was two weeks before we could do that work, and then it was to unload ten cars of coal, live men being assigned to a car. and tobacco for the fifteen cents day extra if he was willing to do the work and at this proposition jumped with the result that all was forced to do and then on when a foreman or some office would come around and that wou With so many men the work seemed but play as we had all day to unload the car in and could have done it in a couple of hours if necessary. We were known as "extric" and we were the one day the foreman, thinking that I was a pretty good worker, put me on the regular assignment and in this there was no play for only two men were allowed to a car and we had to throw the cool into a box. Fortune however favored me as my working mate was a strong robust Turk and who boasted that he could unload any tar of coal in eight hours by himself and would gladly do so if they would pay him more money. I asked him what he would do if he had to work a day at the state only paid him. I offered to buy him groceries. From A Woman's Viewpoint BY LILIAN LOTTIER AT DOUGLASS "HI" ON THE 22ND It isn't of in this vale of tears that on realization comes up to anticipation, but so far as I am concerned, it certainly did on Tuesday night of last week when Dr. Mordecai Johnson of Howard University was presented to the Baltimore public. Knowing the poor acoustic properties of the auditorium at the Douglass High School, and not wishing to use my stage ticket, I went early that I might both see and hear with perfect satisfaction. I said I would say I particularly enjoyed the orchestra, and I am more than willing to blame it on the auditorium. It is an undeniable and unfortunate fact that nothing is heard to advantage in that room. Therefore it is all I am aware of, Mrs. R. F. Brown that her solo was such a pleasing success. The stage presented an interesting and varied spectacle. Those on it—if I am speaking particularly up and down the scale of human worth and character. There were those whose honor, integrity, and real devotion to the service of mankind are unquestioned and undoubted. were those whose high ideals and unselfish living help discouraged and disgusted morals to hang on to a few shrews of their faith in human nature. Beacon lights in the darkness of an oak woodage of materialism are they. Then, there were—OTHERS. Now, for the distinguished guests of the occasion. Dr. Joseph is always good-looking, but at all times on top. He furnished the much-needed lighter touch, and put the audience in a good humor from the start. Yet, underneath it all, one caught a significant glimpse of some of the nerve-tracking and often unpredictable actions of a college president's life. One fact alone convinces me that Dr. William Hallock Johnson is an unusual man. That fact is that he got the united support of enough of the alumni to win the recent fight over the presidency ANYTHING OR ANYTHING THAT EXITES COLORED FOLKS IS UNUSUAL. He is witty, too. Everybody seemed to enjoy his speech. When I come to the third speaker, I feel like putting on sacklehats and ashes. I sat there and equally misjudged him. He didn't look to me like the kind of man I'd want to see at the head of a Negro college. And my mother was the kind of others thought the same way I did. That is—it's he smoke. And Home Education Minerva Hunter "I don't know what I am going to do when William gets old enough to go to school." Mrs. Goodman told her husband's sister who was visiting her "He never will be on time, or if he is on time he will be too much." "I have never thought of William as being stupid," his Aunt Frances answered. "That is because he has been allowed to sleep as long as he pleased since you have been here the morning when William will have to catch the early train. He will be dull and will whine all day." The next morning the grown folks were up early to get ready for the trip. Frances went to William's bed and worked in the arms and worked gently back and forth. "For goodness sake, Frances, don't wake William up yet. He will be cross as a bear, let him until the last minute," the mother admonished. "Leave William to me," Frances replied. "I am going to have him up early and in a good humor." Then she took William's legs and began working them gently. After this she turned him over and left him alone. Then she timed her preparations for the day. Off and on for the next twenty minutes. Frances worked William's arms and legs and then turned him over. Soon he was stretching himself, yawning and turning over by hindrance. When his majestic mother came in to dress him he dressed her with a smile, announcing: "We are going to the seashore on the train!" William stood the trip well and was in the room with whom he destination. His mother was delighted and surprised. "You must explain the wonderful secret to me," she told Frances. "How did you manage to get William up early and have him in a good humor day?" William was child. I was hard to wake. Frances began. "Many a time I was taken from bed and dressed for school while I was half asleep. I would be too sick to eat breakfast and the whole day would be allowed to sleep as long as I pleased and I would always feel better. But and tobacco for the fifteen cents a day extra if he was willing to do all the work and at this proposition he jumped with the result that all of us would be when a foreman or some officer would come around and that would be to take my shovel and scoop the coal up in a heap so that my obliging Turk could get it more easily and throw it into the bunker. The coal pile was reserved for men who had a reputation of being shiftless or those that wouldn't work and just as soon as one of the deputies in the position of good worker he was taken off the coal pile assignment. Personally, as long as my arrangement lasted with the Turk I was getting along fine, as enjoying the free indispensable sentence and most of all the fresh air. After a few weeks of this I guess they figured that either I had been punished enough or that I was too contented a workman for I was laid off the assignment and did no work whatever the balance of the order did in my cell, read all day and awaited the next turn of events. > then what a rebellion! Any one who can identify himself as sincerely and whole-heartedly with this group of ours as Dr. Thomas H. Thomas, and with this group of ours as Dr. Thomas H. Thomas, I could hardly have he wasn't colored himself. Fisk University is indeed to be congratulated. With three such exceptionally disliked and who he forgeruns, I wondered on earth there was left for Dr. Mordecad Johnson to say. However, he found plenty to say, and he said it fearlessly, forcefully, dramatically. He seemed to put up a strong face, but very being—of his innest hopes, ideals, and purposes. I don't know when I've heard an address which aroused, stirred, and gripped me, and my mind that this one. And, on every day, I must greatest of all rebruits: "He believes everything he says, and he practices everything he preaches." When I think of all he said, and when of this tribute, I almost believe if it all isn't too good to be true. We surely need such men as Dr. Johnson. We need them in the pulpit and the pew, in the professions, in the educational field and in every phase of life. The weakness of our national and racial life is that we have so few leaders of his calibre. The more name is added to the alt too short list of those who meet the qualifications for real leadership. And as president of Howard University we will only qualification he has best est expression. They will also be subjected to severest testing, for the world at large doesn't want the kind of doctrine Dr. Johnson preaches. And — PRACTICES, It's a wonderful privilege to have a man like Dr. Mordecai Johnson at the head of one of our educational institutions where, with the cooperation he so richly deserves, he can touch the lives of hundreds and hundreds of our students. He can help new youth's falling faith in the worthwhile things of life. He can help restore youth's belief in God and eternity. He can help youth find ideal and a safe, sane, constructive, upward-tending program for living. A school like Howard with a president Johnson should not be left dependent for support upon the prejudiced whim of some "cracker" senator. We should be our own piper and call our own educational tune. We should rally to the call of Howard and give her and her president our unstinted support. Our unity, our community, our duty, our challenge. We would be less than a race did we not respond. school took up more than half the year and my health was not good. Mother took me to a doctor who explained that it is never good to go outside. The vital organs of the body are relaxed. It is far better to work gradually. It is far better to stretch and yawn and turn over several times before getting out of bed. I understand what I should do. Mother would call me ahead of time so that I could take my yawning and stretching exercises. I was interested and willing to do more dull days over and I could enjoy breakfast all the year round." "So it was the yawning and stretching exercises that you gave William this morning?" the mother asks. "Yes, and if you will keep it up this summer, by autumn he will be doing it all by himself, I am sure." Frances answered. "It certainly seems worth while," said the mother, who looked at her happy little boy splashing joyfully in the water. Exactly 102 different sport items in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN.

Page Fourteen OWNERS TO BAN JAPAN TOUR FOR STARS Drastic Action Against Baseball Players Who Fail To Report April 28 EASTERN LEAGUE IS ALSO AFFECTED Mackey, Holloway And Dixon On Team Which Wants To Tour Japan CHICAGO.—Several reports have been received from the coast that some of the players belonging to the National, and the Eastern leagues are contemplating taking a trip to Japan during the month of May and returning to the States to rejoin their teams about the middle of June. A coast promoter by the name of Lonnie Goodman is supposed to be taking a club made up of the players that have represented his city in the Winter League. Very few of the owners in either of the two major leagues have received any reports direct from their players concerning the team. It is understood that Frank Duncan, catcher for the Kansas City Monarchs has applied owner Wilkinson of his intention of taking the trip. The following players are now on the coast: Duncan, Rogan, Joseph and Mothers, of the Monarchs; Harney and Foster, of the Chicagos; canning company, of the Storming of Holloway, of the Baltimore Black Sox; Dixon, of the Harrisburg Giants; Mackey of the Hilldales; Britt of the Homestead Grays and Wells, of the St. Louis Stars. These players' absence from their clubs will cause a great upset and the players' action expected to take action against any players not reporting to their clubs to the proper time. The league season opens Saturday, April 23rd, and all players must be ready to start, with the exception of those players still attending school or college. Schedule Meeting. The director together with the schedule committee of the Negro National League will gather in the city of St. Louis on March 16th, to complete the schedule for both halves. Youngsters To Be Given Chance. There will be more rookies reporting to the different clubs for Spring training, than for the Kansas City Monarchs will take nine to camp; St. Louis, seven; Chicago, five; Detroit, eight; Cleveland besides having the pick of the Indianapolis club, will have more rookies than any other club. Memphis and Birmingham will have the advantage over the other clubs for young players they can start most of the season, the Kansas City, having a chance to see them in action all of last season. DeMoss To Be Taken Care Of Bingo To Moes, late manager of the Indianapolis club and for years with the Chicago American Giants, will not have to be a member of the National League is concerned. Bingo is well thought of by all of the owners and he will be given any berth that he desires. He has been a credit to baseball and has done much to improve the Monarchs' Spring Dates The Monarchs who will do their training at Hot Springs, have aranged games at Shreveport, Alexandre and Monroe, La., and Texarkana. They will have games at Wiley University. The club will leave March 10th, for Hot Springs. Wm. Young, a big rangy right-hander with Gilkerson's Giants last season, and a brother to "Tum" Young, catcher for the Monarchs, has signed to play with the Kansas City club in the coming season. If this new pitcher is anything like his catching brother, the fans around the circuit are in for a real treat. Both boys in his home city of Wichita, Kansas, and expect to report in condition.

Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly SPORTS MIRROR BY AFRO SPORTS EDITOR Tex Rickard is still trying to give the Bud Taylor and Tony Cazonier right for the bantam- nial title from Chicago to New York. The fight has been announced to take place some time in March, and the Terre Haute "Terror" is rarlin' to go. Taylor has been recognized as the bantamweight champion of Chicago. It is now time for action and not so much ballyhooing about the bout. Show me a sop who says girl's basketball games are worst than a funeral of a rainy day and I will invite that fellow to go out and see the Celeritas, Morgan Girls, or the Washington "" tossers in action against a good opponent. There are reason for announcing the above teams is because the combinations I have in mind are too far down in Dixie and I have not seen them play. But what I am getting at is this: Last Friday night, down in At-tan-na, Ga. the Alabama State Normal girls downed Clark University was up to 27 Was. a girl's game! For Clark, Miss Demory, scored eleven field goals and two free tosses for a total of 24 points, three less than her team's entire score. In no game this season has a collegiate tosser hung up that many points. Lanky" Jones, of Morgan, made the team's contest, while Richay, of Wilberforce, made 20. The foot of Miss Demory can be looked upon as a season's record. When one speaks of nerve in athletes one is inclined to think first of men and their physical suffering, but last Friday night there was one person in the game who forgot fear and everything else, and that was Miss Demory, Clark University. "Never let the same hand bite you thrice," was a dear old slogan for the Hisons to heed and the Morgan Bears bumped into a stinging hornet when they met the D.

Will The Eastern And Western Leagues Become Money Pots Like Major Circuits? It is rumored that Cleveland, newest club to join the Western League, is after Oscar Charleston, home-run king and manager of the Harrisburg Giants. If money tuks, the Ohio city backers say they can get him. In a case a deal like the one proposed in the game is given them, the men like Backwith, "Nabe Ruth," Wilson, Mackey, Henderson, Dhigio and a half dozen others, would bring much pressure to bear on the club owners, because they would be in a position to dictate just how much salary they should draw down. That is the cause of so many hold-outs in the Major leagues. The present Eastern and Western teams are in position to turn to such tactics in a financial standpoint and if Cleveland succeeds in getting Charleston by the money route, other Eastern players are likely to follow.

X., in a three game series. Chappie, who has always been a forward for Philadelphia and is noted for his ability to develop youthful talent, will uncover his hired hands in Philadelphia after a three years' absence. Chappie isn't a bit backward in stating that he has one of the best teams that he has ever had in line and further states that the major portion of his crew are known to local fandom and fresh from the tail end of timber. The following week or April 21, 22. 23 Danny McCallen's Philadelphia Giants will get a chance to show in Quakertown and test the Eastern Colored Leaguers. As a matter of fact McCallen's crews will be deprived of the short stopping ability of one, Billy Yancey, who covered the mid section of the team in the season. Billy who shoves a mean basket ball over the wooden way during the fright months will get a chance to win his spurs with the Hilbrida outfielder Vince Murray. In another way, he just turned his twentieth year and born here in the thirteenth ward. One other promising prospect is Bill Hillery, who has just been mustered out of the Engineer Corps at Fort Hammond. Hillery is a big right hander. With the exception of "Ted" Ryan who is in Cuba and "Bizz" Mackey who has spent the Winter on the Pacific slope, all of the Hilldale vets are in or about the city and they are all wearing mud and tugs. Some have yet to sign but indications point quite strong to the fact that all of the players who finished the '26 season will be back at their posts. Mackey has unfortunately been reported considering a trip to China with a touring outfit, but with Mashaiah it will be highly probable that the versatile and affable "Bizz" will turn up in Philadelphia.

BUD TAYLOR BEATS SHEA Chicago — Bud Taylor, Terre Haute bantam weight lighter, moved another notch toward the crown when he won a ten round bout from San Antonio, Chicago featherweight. Thursday The little Illinois Champion gave Shea a terrific heating, and only in one round did the featherweight make any kind of a showing. Taylor closed both of Shea's eyes with left-hand jabs in the seventh and eighth rounds. Shea remained on his feet until the Dave Shade, white, of San Francisco, middleweight buttler, won a ten-round decision over K. O. Wallett, Langford, of Chicago, in the final match.

Madison Stars After Players PHILA.-The Madison Star Baseball team of the Penn-Jersey league will have their first meeting of the season on march 7, 1927. All Athletes who wish to have a chance or desire more information, please contact R. Smith. 1-12, 2 N 22nd street (Hype Igoc in N. Y. World) Bruce Flowers, the "second Joe Gans," came down town Tuesday night and showed the boys some of the art that has made him a riot in Harlem. He whipped Charley Rosen, five pounds heavier than himself and did it with one hand. His left was swollen and injured before he went in the ring, a souvenir of a bout he had taken part in last week. Flowers No Gans I don't think Flowers is a Gans. He's going to be a terror among the lightweights while he remains in that class. He was in at 134½ for Rosen and if he remains at that weight, he is going to be a hard man to beat. But why call him a second Gans? He is a Negro. That doesn't make him a second Old Master. He was only ONE Joe Gans. Only one lightweight in all the list down through the ages that could hit as true and as scientifically as Joe. He was unlike Bruce Flowers in that he didn't do any dancing around the ring. He was like a small Jack Johnson, always flat on the floor and always in a position to hit. He moved insistently makers with the almost broke his backers' hearts when they saw him brush off T N T wallops as if he had been blocking marshmallows. Stayed Hlt When Gans HIT his man, his man STAED HIT. He would work ten rounds sometimes to and the punch that brought the end. Any one he hit didn't go staggering across the ring, the tracks as if a gallows trap had been sprung from beneath his foot. I saw him knock out Willie Fitzgerald in San Francisco. Willie was young and tough and could clown. It went along for a few rounds and Willie had 'em wooed him this good guy. He went far epiphonized to suit Joe and, stopping inside, he cracked Willie squiggle on the button. Fitzgerald did not fall forward, didn't fall sidewise, he didn't fall backward. He settled right down on his knee. He could even though some giant hand had plucked the solit气 of his body. Just Sat Dazed He sat there, not totally unconscious. He looked around him in a silly, dazed way, and then suddenly discovered Gans carelessly lounging on ropes, watching his man. Willie sat and sat and sat to the seconds were bawled him by the fire. There were yells of warning from his corner, but do you think William could get up? Do you think he knew what was going on? He didn't for an hour afterward. He sat on the floor in that same position until his handlers came and lugged him back to his seat. He was a man who had been crowded with a crowbar, everlastingly down but not completely asleep. Oh, yes. Joe Gans DID HIT. There are no litters like him to-day and there have been no litters like him since his day. So when they get to calling him a bachelor, he blares a "second Gans" they're doing that boy an injustice. They simply didn't know Joe Gans. Benny Leonard You've heard them compare Benny Leonard to Gans. Benny was a smart hitter, but never in his best form. He had a big head and my hard to floor his man three on four times before he finally got him. Gans floored you ONCE. When you laid the boards in front of the door, if the signal to bring in the shutter, Leonard stood out in a crowd that wouldn't have gone far with Gans a fight a night until the whole team had whipped Leonard, though it would have been a beautiful duel if Mitch Mitchell, Charley White-Lew Tendler and Rockey Kansa could spen Leonard with staggering pace. He can be foolish if that Gans would have reached him. Gans reached any man he ever fought. He was old and pass when youthful Nielson on finally broke out and fought before Nelson was out of the candy-stick stakes.

The Westerners came East highly and easily came back the home team at University Tossers in Washington. Morgan outfitted two defenses within the back field and the injury to Hill's knee, expected to badly blow the invaders, but instead they battled them from all angles of the game and won by a wide in the spotlights were on hand when the game got under way in Morgan took the spot and the visitors took the longest 750 seats; the fourth and fifth tickets — seats cost In leading the tap-off the two teams passing games ever witnessed in the Monumental, City, them in the Clarke, City, he accepted one of Wesley's leaves to Ritchie and the net was 2 to 0, and the fans will. The locals lead was supported as Ritchie had been in the air and the ball sailed freely to the center of the field. Both teams were lightning like little demons, but Wesley the mighty "Wu Fang" was one of his long years in the American defense and Evans sank into the net for a 4 to 2 Sheffy There was a little fellow at forwards named Sheffy, who took the place of "Marse" Hill who is our boy who is a dislocated shoulder. In the Michigan defense and his scooter will win points. Sheffy made the 4. Then Brown of the field came through with one of his famous long shots and Morgan was out to a 6 to 4 count. Wilberforce overweave over locales pull away to early lead, and Evans had a field goal as the half end- Wilberforce Wilts That first 20 minutes of play was the most exciting bit of basketball exhibited here for many a day. Morgan was out to win, so was Wilberforce, but the latter combination was gradually wilting under the looms and it could only seem near the closet for the first session. John's Bears opened up an attack in the second half that simply bewitched the invaders. "Lucky" Jones simply starred that hand stuff and the like. Wilberforce pranced over the court like a bunch of wild horses. Jones came thru the line for his first score; from then on the Bears gradually increased their lead. Sheffy. That boy, Sheffy, was in it again. He got a tree toss, when Ward fouled him and low moments later he missed his second goal. In the closing minutes some dendly goal tossing by Wheatley and Jone ran the counts up to 10, the visitors were able to get four points, and hostilities ceased on the final score, 17 to 10. Both teams used the man to man defense as well as the zone guarding game, but the locals were superior in passing and speed and the vice for Wilbertforce, Evans and Richie were the most outstanding, while Ward and Thompson played well, they were too closely guarded to uncork anything. Ward, who ran wild against Howard, was unable to score a single Shelfy led the Morgan attack with seven points to his credit. On eight he graduated from a "b" to a regular. Wheatley and Brown at guard, played a good defensive game and he many rallies that would have resulted in probable scores for the losers. **Wilberforce Off** Wilberforce was off in shooting. They bombarded the base board and the basket rim, but their aim wasn't true. **Preliminary Game** In the preliminary contest the Vocational Seniors trounced the St. Barnabas five, 42 to 11. **Coaches Talk** **Coach Graves of Wilberforce:** "The refereeing of her, Gibson was excellent, and he no alibit; the better team won." **Before the game** Coach Creek of Morgan was worried. Injuries to Hill and Jones made him doubtful of the outcome. He said, "He glad when tonight he" "He was, for the students rode him and the entire arm off the court on their shoulders."

The "Ducks" beat Armstrong Tech of D. C., on their own court early in the season and then truncated them over here. Dunbar and Armstrong both came back this time with a entirely new team. The visitors were fast, passed well and several times threatened to tie the count with the locals, and probably would have had not the circled, around the sides, to fall out instead of in. Hendrickson, at center for the visitors was the first man to sink a basket and it came after 5 minutes of thrilling playing which was by the best passing game ever seen at the high school this season. Callaway made a free toss and was a moment later replaced by Hackett, who soon registered a field goal as the goals pulled to 6, 10 and 16, and then the first half. In the last 10 minutes of play Coach Gibson sent in his second team, not because the visitors were being outplayed but because the first crew lacked punch and team play. In the second session the first team came back and exhibited a much better brand of basketball. Consecutive field goals by Connecus Thomas and Campbell pulled the lacrosse team unlaced a counting bombardment that soon settled any doubt about the final results. Buss who went in for Henry, the latter being forced out by the personal foul route, was the last visitor to sink a field goal, and the team unlaced with Douglass leading 24 to 14. Henry, Hendrickson and Berry led the Dunbar attack and the team as a whole outpassed the locals but could not make their losses count on the other hand Douglas was superior in registering net markers. Jones with eight points and Hacket with six led the local's scoring.

Year Unit There was action aplenty between members of the two passing factions which was more or less expected, but not that which prevailed at the end of hostilities, when a nasty repartee on the part of "Chickie" Passon's brother developed into a spontaneous combination of both cuts which Bob Daughlass (Passon himself) and a dozen or more spectators.

A few moments later Myers and Ricks brought the figures to 22-13 at which hostilities ended for the half session. Sensation It was the sensational shooting of Ricks and George Flall that really sank the Philips' hopes.

How Rube Foster Beat C. I. Taylor BY BEN TAYLOR In my last letter to AFRO readers, I told of the rivalry between Rube Foster, manager of the Chicago Giants and the late C. I. Taylod, manager of the Indianapolis A. B. C's. In the old days, this rivalry on the playing field was real and two men were always up to tricks, but off the field they were the best friends. While the game was going on, C. I. and Rube were always shaking their fists in each other's faces over the court they have dinner, talk and smoke for several hours together. There was one time, however, when Rube Foster got the best of C. I. It was like this: Rube, and the sporting editor of one of the Chicago papers got together and laid out a scrimmage just for C. I. The paper came out just before the game between the two classics one Thursday. Rube got a copy just as the umpire was announcing the batteries, took it over to C. I. and said, "Look here what this paper says, "C. I. went right straight up in the air, setting the paper run up to the press box and began an argument with the sports writer which continued unabated until the seventh inning. That was exactly as Rube Foster came to. He wanted to get C. I. off the bench so that the Chicago team would get a chance to win the game. When C. I. got back from the press box and his argument, Chicago had the game sewed up. The A. B. Cs. were on an illustration of how strong the friendly feeling between the two men was, Rube Foster came on to Chicago as soon as he heard of the death of his friend, Taylor. To be accompanied the family to C. I. accompanied the family to the funeral which was held in the church hammed and packed to the worms. At these services, Rube, who ordinarily says little, talked for 40 minutes, edgizogens, and then suddenly became silent, for all time. STANTON A.C.,29 COMMUNITY,24 WASHINGTON.—Displaying a bewildering attack in the second half, the Stanton A. C. Tossers, white, downed the fast Community quint, 29 to 24, Sunday afternoon at the Lincoln Colonnade. The Stantons did not threaten to overcome the 11-10 first half lead of the locals until near the end of the second half when Tripp, right guard, sank six field goals and one foul shot into the net for 13 points and finally the game. Lacey, Ellis and Johnson led the locals attack while Tripp was the mainspring in the Stanton machine. In the preliminary game the "Y" Arrows downed Phelps Vocational five, 26 to 15 STANTON-G.F.C.

SCHOLASTICS LOSE TO HOWARD OMEGAS Phly Boys To Play Va. Seminary March 12, and Lincoln March 18. PHILADELPHIA, PA. — The Omega Psi Phil of Howard University traveled to Philly last Saturday and defeated the team at the score of 18 to 17. Neither team was able to penetrate their opponent's defense with much success in the first half the scoring being chiefly fouls. The score at half time was 7 to 7. In the second half the Howard boys unscored a dazzling passing attack and kept the half the opposition at majority of the time. God's sensational field goals kept the Frat Boys ahead, the elongated centre garnered three doubledeckers and was the high scorer of the evening. Charlie Mitchell's guarding featured for the losers. The Scholastics with the addition of Cooper who has just returned to England States will meet Virginia Seminary in Philly March 12 and Lincoln March 18. MORGAN READY FOR HAMPTON-LINCOLN Coach Drew's Morgan College Bears will meet the Hampton Seasideers Friday night at the New Albert Auditorium. Fresh from a victory over the Wichita State Seasideers the locals expect little opposition from the Southernners. Several week's ago on the Hampton Court, Morgan decisively scored over the Virginians. Lincoln Coming The Bears stopped off at Lincoln Saturday night while en route home the locals lost a hard fought contest to the Buccaneers of Atlantic City 10 to 10. On next Friday, March 11, Lincoln will invade Baltimore or at least time to play. The locals probably not have an easy time subduing the Pennsylvaniaians as they will no doubt touch up the rough spots from last week's defeat. "Marse" Hill who is out with a dislocated shoulder will probably not get back into the game until city championship with the Greeks. Sigma Defeats Kappas BY C. P.

Reeves, Jr. WASHINGTON, D. C. Running true to previous predictions .the big green five of Wilberforce University came to town Thursday and defeated Coach Burr's Howard University Tossers 20 to 13 in a fairly interesting played game before five hundred spectators in the new gymnasium. Led by "Wu Fang," the Ohioans got off to an early lead and just could not be stopped. Howard started their second team, with the exception of Trigg at guard, this combo performed like a group of unattractive towers, Ward, who became the outstanding player of the game, started the green five off with a free toss then a field goal, and later Evans soaked one in the net as the count went 10 to 1, after five minutes of play. First Team On Coach Burr, realizing the team he sent in against Morgan, Tuesday, could not stem the tide of the Westerners' onslaught, sent Berry, Coates, Spears and Bundrant on the threshold but it was too late. The Ward gang was out, the coach did not overcome. The advent of the big team into the game did not change matters a bit, and play remained listless and interesting as the first half closed with the visitors leading, 14-4. Between the periods, the head coach to turn the tide, 800 threats sang Howard Alma Mater with a vim. Howard Makes Spurt Berry missed two free tossers to open the second session, but Coach enlivened the team. He made the midfield goal from near the center of the outt. The spectators became frenzied. It was "come on Howard," amid hilarious cheers and wild shouts, but the "Force" tossers marched on unheeded. "Ted" Thompson, former National Champion, told the team they contributed goal in the closing minutes of the contest and received much applause. "Wu Fang" Ward, demon of the gridiron, is also a stellar court player. His passing was fair, his shooting good, but his ability to elude the entire Bison five and seven goals under his feet was without an air. He was his most outstanding feat of the evening. Without Ward the Bisons would have tumbled the big green, because he made eight of this team's 20 points. Thompson and Robinson performed well, but the locals that beat the locals' forwards from making numerous "set-up shots" count. Richey played brilliantly at forward, registering three field goals, while Evans got one. Thompson and Richey inspired in the Howard machine, but the inability of both to make several "shots" count cut short the locals' score. The latter counted two field goals, while the elongated center made a field goal and the Bundrant and Trigge at guard were the other outstanding Bison tossers. Tricks went out by the foul route at the beginning of the second session, and Ward followed several minutes later for the same act. Out of 12 free tosses, Wilberforce made 7 good, while Howard was credited with 11 foul tosses, only five were made good. In the preliminary game the Howard Point team downed the Shiloh Point, 22 to 19. SHILOH-10 G.F.C. FRESHMEN-22 Fisher, rf 2 0 G.F.C. G.F.C. Ifler, lf 2 0 G.F.C. Young, 1 0 0 Atkinson, lf 2 0 G.F.C.

After losing, 35-23, to the fast Atlantic City Vandals at the Seaside resort, Tuesday night, the Greeks came back home and evened the count by trouncing the same combination, 35 to 30, at the New Albert Auditorium, Friday night. Starting a much improved line up which included Butler and Poles at forward; Simpson, former Howard and Veney, at guard; the Greeks got away to an early lead and ran up an 18 to 8 score in the first half. The second session was a bit more dramatic and thrilling than the first. Brown went out by the personal foul route to start the half, then the second, and after ten minutes of play were leading, 29 to 11. The Vandals took a decided spurt in the last ten minutes to go and Todd, Knox, Fields and Howard unleashed an attack that almost ended the final whistle blew the visitors were trailing by five points. Although Poles made six field goats, and Simpson, four, the latter was the individual star of the game. Told led the scoring of the losers and played a masterly floor game through out, while Basker and Knox performed creditably. In the preliminary contest the Decatur Tossers defeated the Palace Aces, 26 to 23.

Pickling an all-hallway team this season is a rather hard job as Douglass had an exceptionally stellar array of men, while Armstrong and Ballpark were in whitehall, had only mediocre material. Graham, slender, youth, saved Tech High from many defeats this season by his long and short field goals. His floor work without Ballpark has had no impact on any of the above named players.

The carpenter's son was never satisfied with doing things in a half-hearted way. Whether rebuking the Sadducees, the serpent and the Pharisees, healing the skim, curing his wounds or explaining to Nixelemus the way he was never left any doubt about it. It was thoroughly done and done for all times. The waves were not only reckoned but there was a great calm. The healing of the leper was thorough and the blind man saw not only physically but spiritually. So thoroughly and scathingly were they and Pharisees condemned that they sought a king to kill him and thus get him out of the way. So spiritually satisfied that there were 12 baskets of the fragments gathered up so the cure of the woman with an issue of the blood was complete and Lazarus although dead for so long stood up, and he came to his home. J. R. Mullery Unchristian Christianity Unchristian Christianity The exodus of youth from the organized church, said Dr. Mordeckel Johnson, president of Howard University, speaking in the city, recently. "You don't part in the fight they cannot tell a Christian from a non-Christian white man. Apply to either for a position which is not mental and the answer is the same. Dr. Johnson is right. Few have expressed this idea with such clarity, or vigor, but test of American Christianity is not brotherhood, but cowardry. Twenty white and 26 colored pastors of the Baptist faith sat down in an interracial gathering last week at Trinity Baptist Church. The whites told of 15,000 missionaries, part of which goes to colored missions. One colored speaker disregarding talk of money called upon the white pastors to open their pulpits to their colored "brethren" and thereby demonstrate practical brotherhood and objective Christianity. The silence at the heart of 20 white pastors was as eloquent as if they had all shouted "amen." Older folk may shut their eyes to the situation, but youth's clear vision has long ago perceived Christianity in Eastmoreland stops at the color line. Is not the Baptists alone, what could here of them applies equally to most of the others, Methodist, Presbyterian or Holy Rollers. Last year the AFRO asked twelve white ministers if they were willing to exchange pulpits with colored ministers on Religious Sunday. Not one gave a clear answer, "yes" or "no." Their replies, and evasive no. If they could have found it possible without being discoureous they would have been as silent as the twenty who twiddled their thumbs and opened their notices at Trinity Baptist Church, Monday. This is the situation that requires conversion. The Christianity as practiced by our white churches in Baltimore is a force and a travesty upon the religion of Jesus Christ. We need to denounce him upon it test it intrigue us to follow false prophets. We seek Christian love and the white church meets us with cold indifference. We need to resist and it prates of how much it gives to missions. We seek or opportunity, it offers alms. We ask bread. It offers a stone. Genuine Christianity complements neither Jew nor Greek, nor Christian nor black, but all come in Christ Jesus. B. & O. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad saw to it that the colored group had a representative in its jargon depicting its 100th Anniversary. Records show that colored labor helped by the fire between here and Old City, where helped the trucks open for traffic during the Civil War and in many instances have built their lines into that of a great national railroad. Our only regret is that even more emphasis has not been placed upon pointing out dehumanization to this enterprise. It's there and historians must dig if this group is to find pride in its past achievements. As Dr. George F. Brugg pointed out recently, we are scratching only the historical surface. When we should be relating authentic history details. For example said Dr. Bragg, last month we told school children how great George Washington was. We told them that he revolution he shared his straw and blanket with his colored servant; that he invited Phyllis Wheatley, the colored poetess, to camp and spend the day with him and courtesy; and that he appointed Benjamin Banncker as one of three communicators to lay off the school. When we know these things, we do not have to guess what the first president that of social, equality or of appointment, Negroes to office.

It makes colored teachers receive salaries one-third less than white. $100 teachers' pay runs from $100 to $1,750 per year; colored from $40 to $130 per month.

Colored boys are sent to a private and inadequate institu- tion at Uchelenham, another discriminatory and unconscionable The appeal is made to the Gov- ernor of all the people. But it looks as if the appeal should be made to "Boss" Kelly instead; and if it fails there, it can but become increasingly evident that this administration proves to have improve race relations in Maryland. Napkins "Lord, here is my pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin." Luke 19:29. Evidently people of earlier days used napkins more for wrapping paper than for table use. Today the average person wraps themselves laid up until company comes. And company, if it wants to impress itself as asly "being at home" will decline to use the linen square we call a napkin, because it is not used to bring to the housewife's laundry bill. Tablecloths we use for the family cloth, but for napkins Pa uses the back of his hand and Ma her apron, the children must ask for a roller towel. An expert grocer can't pour sugar into a live pound sack without spilling a few grains. Even an opening as large as a furniture door is too small for all of the coal that he uses to heat his showers. These are openings he can see and at him with a steady hand. Imagine then an impatient, hungry man trying to insert a fork full of feas or a spoonful of soul, into an opening xf which he can't see and hope to strike by force of habit. Then, you'll not wonder he misses occasionally, because at the same time he's trying to tell how he was caught in the falling down Junior for using his fingers in his plate as a pusher and kicking at the family cat, which meows plaintively under his chair. Napkins aren't a injury. There've been days when you don't days. On Sundays even Junior gets one together with the admonition that he's to remember he only has one Sunday suit. The question of present conditions and the knowledge that weekly celebrations are on the increase leads the APRO to suggest the first week in April for the nation-wide celebration of "Napkin We'll still have Health Week, First Prevention Week, *Thrift Week, Truth Week, Go-to-School Week, Far East Week, and several others, but at least on one week in the entire year the population of Baltimore could count on a napkin at every meal. City Council There are six candidates in the participation list. The fourth district candidates from the fourth district The Republican City Committee has decided that two of the three candidates for council from this district shall be colored and were allowed candidates shall come from the 14th and 17th wards, respectively, So far, however, the City Committee* has refrained from endorsing any of the candidates and promiscuous organization support. This is a mistake. If a bitter fractional fight is to be avoided the committee should place its stamp of approval upon one of these candidates from each ward, accepting the recommendation the ward organizer in each case. That's the purpose of a ward organization and it might as well not exist if it were not necessary. And make recommendations to the City Committee. For Mavor Republicans have failed so far to place a mayoralty candidate in the field. Win H. Broening, A. R. L. Dohme and John Philip Hill have been elected to the nomination because he fears the opposition of the party leader, Senator O. E. Weller. Mr. Dohme is not a politician and Mr. Broening is politically dead. It looks as if the G. O. P., will have to continue to search for a candidate. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly DAYBYDAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES Boomerangs In South Carolina Of all states in the Union which seems to profit least by experience South Carolina stands out most notoriously. Her "best white folk" sent up a wall this week when the 173,900 white men and women go to the primary polls were to ram down the throats of the possible 300,900 other white voters men and women denied the privilege, a measure to abolish the State Tax Commission and turn this decision over to the greedy Well. It will serve "the best folk" right, for they only think of the voting distance in that state when about to go down into the jeans. Practically everything South Carolina white people have done during the last fifty years has become a booming and struck They provided disfranchisement on the property owning and educational exclusion bass, and it tended to make it easier to resist injustices and struggling progressive colored. It produced monstrosities like Cole Bless and barbarous lynchings like the Alken disgrace. With all their scars down the spine, they kept in mind that when you take away the incentive to struggle from the white group and give it to the colored you weaken the white and strengthen the colored. They were the oppressed and disfranchised Negro in that state which needs the most pity. If they are worth their salt they fight through and beheaded and beheaded thereby; but the whites are becoming fubby, weak, consuelenceless, and with their keeping 300,000 colored men and women from the polio to themselves; but they have made 300,000 of their own too cautious to go. Coolidge Vetoes Farm Measure For sheer courage and audacity, President Coolidge's veto of Hill McNary-Haggett's bill was an outstanding thing he has done in his administration. For once, at least, he has had to break through his big shell of two powerful groups and act. While most race political leaders will barely give the veto a serious thought, long ago the job of economic conscience may reach deep into the interests of farmers of this country, and farming is still the basically productive and independent institution in which our group engages. The bill, as passed, authorized the appropriation of $250,000,000 as a revolving fund, shall have been established to stabilize the farm products. In practical effect it would have RAISED THE SALARIES OF FARMERS and any salary raising is bad luck to big financial interests in the farm. You will therefore not wonder why the big steel, mining and railroad interests of the east fongli measures the financial interests to KEEP WAGES DOWN. Then, too, many men in China go "deal in wheat" and make millions without ever seeing a wheat field, and men in New York who "deal in cotton" sweated out of race labor in the South, would have to get other employment. IF THE PRICES OF WHEAT AND COTTON WERE SO STABILIZED, AS TO PREVENT "SQUEEZING" AND STOCK GAMBLING. During the early days of the war when farmers in the South got high prices for cotton, YOU COULD NOT PREVENT THE NEGRO FARMER FROM BECOMING PROSPEROUS. BECAUSE YOU STILL CAN OWN A FARM DOWN THERE. What Coolidge has done, unless some other method succeeds, will allow the financiers of the east to keep their strangle hold on basic industries and any oppression is bound to squeeze the man at the bottom most. But "it is an ill wind that blows nobody good" and the opposition which the G. holds in the middle west holds the group a better political advantage in the doubtful states next year. Otherwise, white Republican leaders are not worrying about what our so-called leaders will do. These gentlemen will take their orders and act as the "Grand Old Party" resu But there may arise a leader ship under some unseen and unqualified forces for reaching concessions from the men who during the past administration have made palpable efforts to race artificial inhibitions. Developing The Negro Press What is said to be the most largely attended and practical session of the Negro Press Association in the history of that organization closed last week in Chicago. No doubt, subjects discussed and exchanged experience with fellow members of the Fourth Estate and by inspiration at least more than pay for lunch in to be regretted, however, is that along with the valuable resolutions adopted to guide the 1927 editorial and editorial board, there was not devised some more practical plan of cooperation. Only a weekly field show only the need but the opportunity of developing more cooperative means of promoting distribution, advertising and news gathering. Some day some enterprising young newspaper man is going to pick on a dozen small companies and editorial equipment, centralize their advertisement selling, distribution and news gathering, and a NEWTON. This will be done, however, with papers WHO MAKE NEWS-PAPER AND ONLY OBJECTIVE. Negro journalism is fast emerging from the field of hyphenated products to that of local newspapers. Every city and town in this country with 5,000 colored people within a radius of 30 miles could supra-terrorize the newspapers hundreds of such cities. It might have been expected this year that the National Negro News-Paper attempted to weld together into some kind of practical organization what has been developed in new gathering. Maybe this will work. FORUM Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough. Beyond that expect the editor's blueprint "needling makek a ready man, write."

I am sorry to say, that his statement was quite wrong in his statements about the "Slavery" existing in Liberia at present. It is a peculiar on the part of Mr. Vandercook to comment that to our young people. In Liberia it is a custom for anyone who can afford to have homes, a male, to care for their homes and nursing the children as it is done here in this country by the colored men, to great compensation for the domestic servants because they are considered as one's own family and live like any member in the family. Is this what Mr. Vandercook calls Servitude? He is absolutely wrong in his case was writing on this article, my "AFGIO-AMERICAN" came to my desk, and on page four, column two, I read the statement. "New Slavery System in New Orleans." A new system of abduction, sale and enshrement of human beings, has begun, when the Grand Jury returned an indictment against Wobbl Blue and John Alfred, of Antoine of Loring Crawford Allen to take a sick bed and accompany them to Louisiana, where he was sold into wages for several weeks. With Crawford were also his wife and three children, all of whom were compelled to work without wages for several weeks. This has happened here in Mr. Vandercook's own country, a Christian Nation, and the people of religious fantasy. Mr. Vandercook to show me one example in any city of Liberia where such a human catastrophe has ever happened. The government of Liberia is due to the misunderstanding between the American and Native Liberals, as to who is the rightful political leader, and the ever-basing animosity between these two groups, the American Liberals think that they can conquer their consent. However, the century conflict which resulted into the failure of Liberia will soon be abolished by the intervention of any outside Nation or Foreign power. The land of Liberia is the land of aborigines and it is now the time for them to reclaim their land and not the foreign descendants. Thorems Lee, Morgan graduate, New York. Neval Thomas Backs Bumus Campus For A Dollar Endowment University. To the Editor: I am profoundly impressed with the suggestion of Alumnus that the university should be the seat of friends, make a contribution of one dollar toward a fund to be presented to the school at the coming inauguration of President Obama. I therefore, consider it a privilege to enclose mine, and a promise to interest others. I am sure it will be contagious, and touch the heart of the students, the sweating laborer in the ditch and in the cotton fields, the very salt of the earth, as well as the six thousand graduates and Our great institution makes a universal appeal, for its high standards of instruction. Its record of service to the nation is outstanding. The institution here in the capital of the nation make it the common property and common pride of the race. There is no reason why we should not present $100,000 by means of this democratic method and asked of the whole nation to do so. We have a splendid administration at the institution now, and all faculty, trustees, and administration — faculty, alumni, and student body — are working in one record for a greater forward. Already the administration has made a strong effort from Congress in addition to a large appropriation for maintenance. The magnificent new medical building is now under construction, which will make it possible to treble its output of physicians, dentists, and pharmacists, so solely needed for our work. The outstanding for additional instructors. The other departments are similarly handled, some classes having more than one instructor. The contribution can be used for additional additions to the professional staff, for equipment, and for cancellation of indebtedness. Our effective organ made its in valuable contribution to the university in its forty articles by Alam. We could not have won our fight for reform. Your new suggestion is but following out your long record of racial and cultural diversity. H.

Suggests Filming Of Aiken, S. C. Triple Lynching As A Commer- tor To The Wicked "Birth of A Nation" I saw in one of the leading southern papers where the famous "Birth of A Nation" would be in a leading newspaper, and I saw in another date each year that picture is kept over before the white race the hatred, malice and prejudice toward us, thus thinking that we have lots of things that are true that might be thrown on the screen. I suggest that we should not whale Alison dissuade. You could get enough out of the newspapers. Show the family, industrious and in comfortable house, of the father, mother, daughter, boy around the home, the former in the yard, making them in a trumped up whiskey raid, the family trying to defend the home from men; brutal murders; apparently wounded, others we're wounded; daughter carried to hospital, taken out, thrown in jail, before fully recovered, with her kins Whose gun fired the bullet that killed the officer? Poor old father, old as he was and innocent, arrested on a trumped up charge, arrested and made to work on the chain gang, prisoners languishing in jail for weeks, brought to trial, nothing proven, one acquitted taken from jail and lynched; and everything that was true about it made into a picture and thrown on the screen. Don't forget the brave white lawyer and the editors of Columbia State Record and New York World; also our brave Walter White and other investigators who came down and risked their lives. I suggest that this picture be shown all in the north and everywhere it will be allowed to be shown, and the proceeds, after expense money is taken out, used to defend the race where necessary. Have it shown every year just like the "Birth of A Nation" was shown and is being shown. Oh, can't it be done? I pray that it can, talk it over, think it over. Yours for justice, North Carolina. Hopeful. Doesn't Approve Of Attacks Upon Frederick Douglass and Harriet Becker Stowe. I wish through your journal to voice my protest to the attack made against Booker T. Washington and Harriet Beecher Stowe by the Rev. Charles Stewart in an address to the A. M. E. Preschers' Meeting. As a student of affairs I see no imperative need for such ludicrous attacks. It is cowardly to assail one when the person cannot defend themselves. The subject of the gentlemen's address was Frederick Douglass. And in the eulogy of the great abolitionist, there is nothing to give rise to such flagrant attacks. The speaker said the got the money and we got sympathy as the result of her fame, created by the writing of "Cune Tom's Cabin." Sympathy was what we needed in this period of the embryonic stage of freedom. Thanks to God for the sympathy she aroused. Booker T. Washington may have expired his idea of industrial training from the letter written by Douglass to Harriet Beecher Stowe, but the great Tuskegee Institute was not in that letter. The great work these characters wrought is without parallel. We have naught but words of praise for these souls when we think of the Negro, out of slavery into a schoolroom and fitted into the national fabric of this commonwealth. The modern student doesn't condone the kind of eulogy that characterize a few of the modern orators. Wants "Truth" To Take Another Nome-de-phone. Well, Editorially Speaking "Truths" dead. I enjoy every edition of your paper, but may I suggest that you cease printing the disgusting letters written by a person who signs it. It is a discredit to any paper, and especially to our paper, if "Truth" would write the REAL truth, and give us REAL arguments, well and good, to make known his opinion of the Negro. I suggest that "Truth" find another and more appropriate "home-de-plume" more in keeping with his real feelings. (Miss Movie.) Director, 1314 W. Mulberry. We Beat Columbus To America Although few historians take the contensions seriously. Dr. Leo Wiener, professor of Shivie Languages at the University, a well known scholar in Russian and Yiddish literature, insists that African disco-ized America, on contributions of certain words in African and Indian languages, as well as upon the possible African languages, sums, sweet potatoes and peanuts, also claimed that these early pre-Columbian Negroes greatly influenced the African and peanuts. Dr. Wiener's first volume, entitled "Africa and the Discovery of America," which was published in Philadelphia in 1920, has recently been elaborated. Smelly Evangelists (A. M. E.

In reading of the Russo-Japanese war, they believed that the Russo-Japanese war urged the "bitter end." "Use that expression in a sentence of your own, Johnny," said the school You may have noticed signs all over town telling us boldly that last week was set aside and getting to be a mighty poor commodity when they have to advertise it in street cars to get us to use it. Of course, a lot of people, after reading the sign had to go look it up in the dictionary to find out what they were talking about. This TRUTH crusade looks to us like nothing more than a well directed attack against the Ananian Club. They started too late however their organization has too strong a foothold. Listed among its members are doctors, nurses and all in all a life. Every time they say a word they pardon their dues. Telling lies isn't a habit, its an art. Its mighty tough to stage a TRUTH WEEK' just when the courts are the busiest. Its like taking bread right out of lawyers' mouths. How can they earn an dollar, if they can't get to it? BY WILLIAM PICKENS (The American Aesop) And Johnny, who had been paying the strictest attention, repiled at once. "This morning the dog chased the cat under our lounge an' bit her curt!" Heard and Seen In Baltimore By Ralph Matthews Honesty is the best policy but a lot of people aren't insured. Some folks look upon the TRUTH as they do their undertaker; they only use them for their business. They think that if you catch up with them after that it won't make much difference. It's a good thing they did not plan "TRUTH WEEK" during the fishing season, because then we wouldn't have been able to tell how big the one was which got away. Of course, fishermen do not really mean to be UNTRUTHFUL, when they exaggerate. It isn't their fault. The stuff you drink on fishing trips now makes them have been known to greet green elephants with pink flus. Young girls have to be careful during "TRUTH WEEK" because when your sweetie swears that he isn't good enough for you he means it. You can act a lie as well as tell one; for instance, there was the ginkgo who always set the theatre make people think he had hurls a seat in the front row. And then guys have been known to carry a monkey wrench around in their pocket to give the impressor of Course, a man doesn't have to be a mechanic to have a screw loose. TRUTH is stranger than fiction: it ought to be strange, we hear it soeldom. They say married men tell more falsehoods than single men. This isn't so much from choice as from necessity. Single men tell women lies to keep some other man from getting married while married men tell their wives lies to keep her out of getting him. What a dreary old world this would be if everybody told the TRUTT. Women's bridge clubs would disappear altogether and telephones would be as out of date as family prayers. With men telling the TRUTH a monkey will get jump a board when they will be just what they look like. If TRUTH really does hurt, a lot of us are mighty once after last week, we steal, we steal, but a guy with no arms will fire pretty common as a pickpocket. Dead men tell no tales, therefore "TRUTH WEEK" must have been a howling success in the cemetery when people observed it among the living. What's In A Name What's In A Name (From Opportunity) With every other race transplanted to America, save the African, the name remains a significant mark of lineage, the rhythmic, so rolls and swings, the vigorous, so vanished, as completely as the thread of ancestry itself.

No more Mamuibui, Bokalobi, Wekamba, Mogankuli; the descendants of these in America are more likely Smith, Jones and Johnson, compelled to the new life, but a new history, in this sense, at least, Negroes are a new race.

How Churches Got Their Start How Churches Got Their Start (Columbian Press Bureau) The first colored Baptist Church was organized in 1778 by David George and Jesse Peters at Silver Bluff in Alken County, South Carolina. These two men were slaves on the plantation of George Galpin. In 1787, a company of colored Methodists from the Methodist Episcopal Church, white. "In order to avoid certain humiliating discriminations practiced against them", and occuclated by Richard Allen, who in April 1816, became the first Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The A. M. E. Z. church was organized in New York City in 1796 by James Wurkle, Abraham Thompson. Kelly Miller Says The highest test of religious advancement is to be gauged by the impression which it makes upon the minds of the rising generations. · If those who now bear the burden of moral and religious leadership of this race of ours hope to have the best brains and character in the race take hold of the work which they must shortly lay down, they must beckon to them with clean hands and pure hearts. Is The Negro Church Deteriorating? The other day, I had a long drawn out conversation with a friend of mine who has had experience with Christian ministries who possesses a comparative grasp upon the general movements of the time. He has versed in the tradition of theological learning and may be called a fundalist with modernist tendencies. That the Christian church as a whole is apostate to the principles of the founder is a challenge. I will proof ample of this proposition. Let the theological adopts, if they can, point out upon what concept of Jesus Christ warf furnished. Let Christian cantould that you cannot serve God and Mammon; the present day church elects to follow the latter. But perhaps the best test test can be found in its missionary application. The so-called heathens in all parts of the world, are repudiating the missionary's good cause, and are in the home land. The heathen mind, in its unsophisticated state, is a very logical. A people who believe in the proof which preclaims "the shall not kill" must not kill ten million of fellow professors Christians, and many others, impressed with their moral consistency. A nation which boasts billions on top of billions need not expect the heathen mind to need the presence of earth. When Christians lynch other Christians because of the color of their skin they need not be doing the will of him whom they call masters. I spoke to a white audience recently on Christianity and Race pointed out to them encouraging the professed principles and actual practice of the ordinary white Christian. If Jesus should come to Washington, the greatest exert Christian nation, under the gudge of a colored man, how would he be received? He would give the greatest hotel welcome the door in his face. The Christian restaurant would give him no meat; the proprietor of the hotel would drink; he would find no welcome in a single white Christian home. If he sought Christian fellowship in any one of the churches which he died to establish, the plaus priest who worships in his home, would point him to the corner, courteously pointing out that this church is for white Christians only to the exclusion of communicants of The attempt to reconcile Christ and ease, creed and faith understaking. The white Christian may indeed do these things, if he hears he must but the one who himself that he can do so and remain true to the gospel of the meek and lowly heart of the possessing Christian assume any spiritual superiority because he is not disposed to this particular matter, but rather to other forms of apostasy which are just as revolting to the pure and undefiled gospel which Jesus released for the guidance of the world. My learned friend and myself discoursed at length upon the effort of the doctrine of evolution upon the good fortune to hear the late William Jennings Bryan, in what I believe was his first important pronouncement upon this great theme of the nineteenth century lecture tour in 1920, at Twin Falls, Idaho. He stated that Darwinism had undermined the faith and morals of the rising generation, but later controversy about this proposition. Modernists and fundamentalists have arisen each defending his view with the same intent, but no one has yet undertaken to dispute, much less to refute, Bryan's basic proposition. I am an avowed evolutionist, who has ever loved me in my teens, and yet to me the mantactive fact is too painfully apparent. Science, whether rightfully frustrated the religious belief or the rising generation. It has weakened the authority of the Bible as our fathers interpreted it, without putting good fortune into practice, with the same intention, in its stead. Darwinism will doubtlessly prey on Science will win, as it always has done in its historic conflict with religion. The church will sooner or later appeal to the faith of science satisfactorily to the claims of religion. But the period of transition experience great religious action and the faith of the fathers, it seems that the offense must needs come; but woe unto that generation by the faith of the fathers. If we could take a census of the actual, bona fide religious belief of our high schools and colleges today, we would find the olders almost beyond recovery. This is just as true of the Negro and Negro indoctrination in the physical and spiritual basis of things may restore the old foundation or perhaps lead to a still firmer basis for religious things. This is the only hope. "A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep or taste not the Pierian Spring. But the shallow draughts intoxicate the brain. But thinking largely sohes us unharmed. Our youth today are in the in-toxicated stage. They get but a smattering of science: id are not yet able to relate it to the whole world. We cannot afford to imitate Bryan and deny them science altogether because its harmful first effect. We must rather rely upon the sobering effect of the larger draught which we now suffer. We decri the mad push after wealth and pleasure as the dominant passion of our day. This is because the imagination is not dominated by a more fascinating idea. Herein lies it: we need a religious statesmanship. It is nec. des. into any loud denunciation of the If Christ Came To Washington Modernists And Fundamentalists Religious Beliefs Of Young People Saturday, March 5, 197 *cendency of the time.* You can choose to reform the heart and character of youth by condemnation; but the must be shown a more excellent ability to do this. Let me now speak more specially of the state of affairs of the Negro people. I must first distract them. I must have met with the ministry as parts of the country as general as any other living Negro people. I have been equally acceptable to the dressed ministers' meetings practically everywhere. Negro Clergyman Deserves Sympathy The Negro church participates often general apostasy of the times. The black woman rather than the clergy. The Negro改良ism in america. If so, he must keep heads, but the clergy part of it, for the good reason, that the older half of the congregation would repudiate it utterly. But the younger half would interpret it in a more interpretation. There is an almost impossible task to hold them in the same position in the dual society in which such great differences bound to satisfy their faith. The Negro elergerman demands growth in the dual society. The new issue has little or no spiritual passion; the older demons demand little or no passion; the new demons flow to the product of the high school of the college to the moral and spiritual enthusiasm which actualizes the discarded forhears! the rub. If one attend the conferences in general meetings of our great & nominations, he will be impressed with the thought that their exgies are almost wholly exercise with raising money and secular sectional activities. There is but the spiritual vitality. The New churches, except the Baptist, are scarcely more than holding the own. I have been in Washington more than forty years. The 8th population has more than 80% myself. The Negro churches, also in numbers, or spiritual force, have made little or no headway to 1890. All of our great cities are being baptized, while the other 7. The number of organizations is less, rigid exactions may account for this balance of advantage in any of the Baptists. Highest Test Of Religious Advancement The highest test of religious commitment is to be grazed by the minds of the rising generation. The older ones among us will be gathered with the elders. The younger ones must prove who are coming on. Will they have a spiritual equipment to manage the hazards in the hazard turbines. Negro children in Washington to the young men now the Dumbar High School or the Baltimore product Frodeau Doughty or of any other city to the rising intelligence? The nearly concentrated on the disquieting reports and images of misfeeds in high and low cloesthetic circles. If those who bear the burden of moral and legal responsibility have hope to have the best beaten character in the race take hold, they must be boxed down, they must be boxed with clean hands and pure hearts.

God Bless Curley By The Cameraman, P.N.S. The Roman Catholic Church has repeatedly challenged the Protestant Church to meet its standards of religious faith. Recently, in Washington, D. C., before an audience of two thousand white Catholics, Archbishop Miles White called people of the country to be exceeded the same educational advantages as the white people. If the church would but hear this cry, what a Heaven on earth would come to pass. The Archbishop doubtless had in mind spiritual but wholly urgent that the spiritual education learning from St. Peter's Cathedral, in New York, to the lowest parish house of New Orleans, be turned into burracks to the Y. Y. G. A. — from colorful education to colorless education, save in the internal essence of "Go thou and preach the good to the poor and do the doing." Love thy neighbor as yourself." God bless Archbishop Curley. (J. Albert Stertrette, D. D., in A. M. E.

Bishop Parks will be the center that bishops should be measured by their achievements, and not by their years of achievement in a district. They are the center that bishops continue in a foothold on one district over extended years. It is the influence of the demonstrated connection.

The priest of the cathedral standing by the cathedral is worthy and its presence is worthy. the number of people who present, possibly the largest of those for general use in the church were also proposed.

Bishop Gaines explained to the meeting that the congregation of Belfair was now workshopping in a high school building and that Belfair had been deposited on a new structure which will give its congregation one of the finest in the city. REV. MR. TANNEEL. Explaining why he removed the Rev. Mr. Tanner from this charge, although he had reported the large amount of dollars the history of the church Gaines said it was true that he had removed Pastor Tanner without compelling him, without warning and in the face of the fact that the congregation and voted apparently unanimously or by a large majority to have him back. "Rat," said Bishop Gaines. "The committees which came to me asking that Pastor Tanner be returned started their belief that the present pastor would not succeed in getting them into a new church and that anyone whom the bishop assigns would be allowed to pastor." When the church was burned, Bishop Gaines said, the Chicago Tribune opened its columns for subscriptions. Twenty thousand dollars was subscribed and $1,000 paid. When Pastor Tanner was transferred, however received only $220 plus a bill of some $700 for printing and the persuasion had been sold for taxes. In the little while that the new pastor has occupied the pulpit, Bishop Gaines said he had accumulated a building fund of $1,000 and in T. R.

MADISON OPPOSES THE MERGER Influential Pastor Says Minority Will Refuse To Join to Union PITTSBURGH, PA.—The proposed organic union of the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion Churches which was announced the first of the year following a meeting of bishops of both churches in Washington will be a difficult if not improbable event. It is actually inspired by motives that are described as an sighonable according to a statement issued today by K. E. Madison of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church and an influential figure in the inner councils of that connection. The second step in such a union is scheduled to take place at the Zion bishops council which is this city the second Three Denominations "The most outstanding and influential leaders in both bodies have consistently opposed such a union, for the principal reason that the actual result of it will be the formation of three church bodies hosted of two, they, M. Mission church, M. Mission church, and M. Mission church, will split from the united body and on what they are thus forming an A. M. E. Church, an A. M. Zion church and a third church body containing those who have deserted the other two, he declared. This will the aim of such a movement be defended. Hood and Turner The proposed union was opposed vigorously by two of the most dominant figures the church has had in the past, A. M. E. Church and Bishop J. W. Wlood of the Zion connection stood consistently for the two churches being separate. Many of the leaders in both churches who are living have expressed compensation of the plan at some time, although there has been a strong attitude around it very recently. Most of the experienced and influential men in the church have assumed a resident attitude in the matter. There are those in the Zion Church who have not decided to abandon the organization of that connection for any new enterprise. Dr. Madison stated. Difficulties Two thirds of the votes of each individual church in the connection and the other churches affected must be secured before there can be any ratification of such a union. Comments and announcements of the plan such as have been made by usors in the churches does not constitute ratification that the connection must overcome. The motives inspiring those who are initiating the union do not seem to be purely unselfish, according to Rev. Madison's statement. Many of the leaders have been through opression of union to support of it very recently he said. Greatly enlarged territories for such bishops, more churches to cover, and probable higher salaries seem to be playing an important part in the Bishop J. W. Walls of Charlotte, N.C. who passed through Pittsburgh last week, expressed great optimism concerning the proposed union. *1st week's AFRO contained 599 different news articles and 24 advertisements—20 pages.

Webber Hood And Turrace Difficulties C. ASK WHITE PREACHERS TO OPEN PULPITS ASK WHITE PREACHERS TO OPEN PULPITS "For long time we have had a mortgage on the golden streets of heaven, but we are getting interested in its concrete pavement in a appeal to white ministers to open the pulpits, in a joint meeting of white and colored Baptist ministers at Trinity Church, Monday. The meeting, which was the second of its kind, held under the auspices of the Baptist Presachers Meeting, was attended by 20 white and 26 colored ministers. Although the principal address was given by the Rev. Junius Gray, it was the talk of the Rev. Mr. Ashburn, who is the secretary of the Church Extension Department. Department convention that seemed to deem more directly with the question of interracial cooperation among the Baptist teachers. Speaking directly to those ministers assembled, he called upon them to adhere to the convention in their pulpit, and thereby demonstrate the practicality of the religion of Jesus Christ. Preceding the addresses of the Revs. Gray and Rev. Mr. Ashburn, C. F. Davis, white, a Baptist churchman, told the gathering of the work that the two white ministers in the state were doing along missionary lines. Instated that they spent $45,000 yearly on missions, a part of which was spent on colored extension work from Rev. R. H. Alder, a white minister in giving a complete history of the white Baptist work in the state. Mr. Davis was followed by the Rev. James S. Gray, who traced the history of the first colored Baptist church, which he said was originally developed into the present First Baptist Church on February 29, 1836 at Carolina; and McLeddy street. There are 15 churches, he said, in Maryland, with 16,000 members and $1,600,000 in church property. Split Echoed the factional fight which developed in the reorganization of the one Baptist Convention in Maryland, with a group of men led by the Rev. Mr. Gray organized in another body barely missed airing on the floor of the meeting, when the Rev. W. A. Payne rose to object to statements the address by the Rev. Mr. Gray. In his statement, the Rev. Mr. Payne took exceptions to the statement that the present group of ministers in Baltimore were not accomplishing anything. He prophesied that under the present leadership, if not disrupted by fights, the Bandaists and convention of Maryland would perfect a program which would mean much to the baptists of the city. Rev. W. W. Allen presided. TESTIMONIAL GIVEN DR. GEORGE F. BRAGG TESTIMONIAL GIVEN DR. GEORGE F.

Text—"I am a debtor to the Greek and to the Barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise." How strange these words seen, to be spoken by St. Paul without a careful study. One might be forced to say at a glance that a postle is not known what it means, taking it as was just using words of which their meanings he did not know. Of times an individual uses words and he does not know their meaning, but uses them simply because they sound good to him. But the Apostle Paul never used words that he did not know, or spoke in terms that he did not understand. But how could St. Paul be a debtor to say that I am a debtor to the Greeks and to the Barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise? Did Paul really know what he was talking about? Of course it is quite natural to be indebted to the Greeks for language and philosophy, etc. We all are indebted to the Greeks. It is clearly understood why St. Paul wished to be wise; the wise help to build character and transform lives. We all are indebted to the wise for truth, sound doctrine, sound judgment, common sense, wisdom, good government, etc. But are we indebted to the Hadrianians and to the wise? The Barbarian never does anything but something that will hurt and make trouble; the musi says nothing but that which will harm; they hinder character, and hurt lives. Why would the Apothecary be indebted to the Greeks, be wise and the ignorantans, use them to make harm trouble and hurt, lunch, cruelty and burn at stake? He was indoicted to them simply for what Jesus Christ had told him. He owed it to Christ when he was on his way to Damascus, when a light shone from to seven round about him, and he fell to the ground. Hearing the word Jesus Christ, he immediately willt that have me to do "Jesus Christ had made him wise, bad, on him power, wicked, and understanding. That is why S.J. Christ praised the gospel.

But when Jesus was hanged upon the cross, the Barbarians said let him be crucified. The unwise said, "If thou be the Son of God, let us crucify the cross." But Pilot's wife said unto him, "Have thou nothing to do with that just man." Pilot's wife was wise. Hence after St. Paul had received a new revelation from God, he said, "I cannot that I could not my life dear unto me, lost after I have preached to others, I myself might become a cast away. And as he saw through the power which came from Jesus Christ that the Son of God could not able to see by themselves they needed a guide, he felt indebted to them as well as he did to the wise and to Jesus Christ for what He had done for him. And in like terms, he preached to both Barbarians and the unwise in promotion as Jesus Christ had helped him. Hold City Wide Revival GREENSBORO, N. C.

Knights Of The Grip Who Follow The Caterer Thrilling And Interesting Experiences Of Men Who Serve With Caterers At Many Baltimore Functions "It's a great life, maybe, this life of the water who follows the Baltimore caterer for a living. Many a guy that you see passing through the street, that you might take for a delegate to some convention is far from being what he seems. He, he carries a suitcase or a handbag, but this piece of baggage is always more or less cracked and well worn. It's also true that he often wears a dressy looking black or white bow tie, but your seasoned delegate doesn't dress up before he gets where he's going. His the suitcase carrying, bow the wearing chap, is none other than a knight of the handbag who some day may, if he wishes, get on the inside of some big hotel and become a knight of the pan, where he can park what he carries in his suitcase in a nice steel tooler, and book out at the snow and It's A Great Life But for the present, Matey, he's a follower of the caterer, and the changes are he likes it, and wouldn't change if he could. For us I told you before, it's a great life. "True, your caterer's man on the balcony, but he's always something different, something changing. Sometimes a big banquet; sometimes a small private party; sometimes a fancy ball, where the sky's the limit; sometimes a fashionable wedding, among the host of folks. But always, your caterer's man on the inside of things. He bears speeches by the big man of the country, who makes shoppers the leaders of fashion. He keeps pace with the latest fads that are used by the people who are hunting for fads, because they can afford it. So, Matey, if your McCullah street grisement wants to serve a buffet luncheon, or give any fashionable function, let him consult a seasoned caterer, who gives the very latest tip, from table decorations, to the newest thing in fancy lees.

Doesn't he eat them four or five times a week. All of 'em, from plain harlequin blocks to the last word in frozen puddings, where ice cream is the smallest part of the dessert. And that's only a starter. Even if he gulps his dessert first; after the service is over, he can go back up the scale with guinea, or chicken, or turkey. Smithfield ham and vegetables. And after all these things have been pulled out of their panties, he can what is served the walters, it's all washed down with real coffee. The Toothpick Next Then your seasonal caterer's man can lean back on a toothpick, or a seagull, with as much aplomb, as any of his guests whom he has just served. And, before long, the girl friend or the wife will enjoy some same elicitances. For your waiter man is not selfish, by any means. **Goes Everywhere** And so it goes, Matey. In all kinds of winter weather, all over Roland Park, and Green Spring Valley, or in the town section, even there you will find your knight of the grip. He cheerfully faces a truck filled with packing cases, or trumps home through the slush and sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning, so that Wilie might stay in school, and the.

While on the lily pad, he will kind of a follow, on the first-class private jobs, you wouldn't want to work with a better bunch. The men for these jobs must not only be good waiters; they must be clean-cut, and above all, things like a caricature will be very careless with her jewelry and precious trinkets. At least, she pretends to be. When she leaves her table to dance, she piles her box, purse, her golden vanity box, or silk cigarette case, right on the table.

Still another captain is selected because he can control large numbers of men on the big jobs. He must have tact and assurance, Matey, because he has all types of men to deal with. Here is your hard-holled waiter who has "hotelled" from Florida, Alexandra Eay, and "callled" from Prince, New York, and who may believe it or not, has won and lost between the horses and "African golf", two or three modest fortunes. Country Box Here is the big gawky country boy, not so many days removed from the pitch fork and hay stack whose clawy fingers now are handling dainty silver and linen. Here is the quick-tempered West Indian boy who thinks that he is being imposed upon. Here and there is a young school boy, sensitive and sulky, occasionally you will find an accomplished musician, and now and then a school-teacher. Here too, the one type, the gentleman of them all. The worn old man, past the prime of his life, Matety, but, having wasted his time and his money, is still clinging to this last straw. Maybe, on the next big job we will take up a collection to help bury him. Yes, Matety, it is a great life, this collection of following the enterter, but we stick t' it, because like everything else, it has its good as well as its bad points.

He had an idea where she was an went to 702 Edmondson avenue to look for her. Finding the door ajar, he found a mirror in contact a mighty cat in contact with his jaw. Jones turned to run but two pairs of hands seized him by the collar and snatched him into the room. In the darkness it seemed to Jones as at work and each with a pair of eyes that could see their way to head. Emil! as quickly the had escaped Jones landed on the sidewalk. When two officers heard Jones story they went to the house and arrested Hezekiah Fobbs and Steven Wilson, both of 702 Edmondson avenue. During the wait for the wearing in the Northwestern Fobbs and Wilson persuaded Jones not to move and assumed him. Jones did so and the judge fined him $5 and costs for lying. When Jones called upon his friends to get him out, they voiced their regrets and the unhappy man found him: "If with a missing wife, black eyes and a five dollar dollar to buy, while everybody else went free." Rodgers Robinson, booked about furiously in the 900 block of Pennsylvania avenue and making sure that he was not being watched, into a pin-broker's establishment and laid out contents of a package on a package. "Two dollars," he said, holding up two fingers that there might be no mistake. The broker's face took on a look of pain as he pulled full length. It was a handsomely encroached shawl on which the figures representing Hebrew hieroglyphics were inscribed. To Robinson that shawl was nothing more than a piece of material from the ancient temple needed two dollars. To the Hebrew pin-broker that shawl was an article of intrinsic value used in the Jewish religious services. When Robinson could not explain where he got it, the broker forgetting business for religion called a polishman and Robinson was locked in. STANDING Y. M. C. A. LEAGUE "Well," said the officer, "we can't put you in jail until we find out who the scarf belongs to, we will have to keep you here a few days while we investigate." For ten days, Robinson stayed behind the burs. Each day he was informed that they couldn't put him in jail yet, because they had not found the scarf. He was dismissed and was again informed that they couldn't find the owner. "Well, you kept me in jail ten days," said Robinson as he left the station house. "I guess if you had found out who it belonged to, I would have gotten life." Charlotte Motley, 50, 721 Eensor Francesca, 4, mums, 1222 K.

Office 521 McMechen St. Meets Monday Nights From 7 to 9 JOHN R. CARY, PRESIDENT Page Twenty RITCH RITCHIE WON'T BACK PROGRAM OF COMMISSION Governor Admits However, That Interracial Bills Should Be Introduced STATE WIDE MEETING FOR MARCH TENTH Be Present Governor Ritchie will not back the program of the Maryland Inter-Racial Commission, he told the Baltimore delegation which visited him at the State House in Annapolis, last week. The delegation consisted of T. J. Calloway, secretary of the Commission, Carl Murphy, the Rev. Ernest Lyon, the Rev. George P. Bragg Jr., the Rev. J. T. Cobbert, the Rev. W. H. Thomas, and R. Maurice Moss, secretary of the Urban League. Bills calling for the repeal of the jim crow law, the equalization of county teachers' salaries, making Cheltenham a state institution and creating a permanent inter-racial commission with a salaried secretary had been prepared and the governor was asked to use his power to use that these were introduced and put through the legislature. Didn't Studied Report The governor said that he had no chance to study the commission's report because he had been busy getting his "greenbag" ready, but would now have some time to give to legislative matters. While admitting that he had as many positions as any of these bills proposed, he said the delegation in asking him to back the measures was doing more than any other delegation that had been to him this season. He said he could not make them administrative measures because the equalization of county teachers' salaries was proposed by the State Department, a state institution out of Cheltenham would require a larger appropriation than he is willing to recommend. While declining to aid the measures personally the governor agreed that the measures should be placed before the legislature where appropriate that have the opportunity to submit arguments for their message. State-Wide Conference In forwarding, the program a State-Wide conference on Negro welfare has been called to meet in Annapolis next Thursday, March 10, at noon, in the County Court House. The Mayor of Annapolis, Hon. Alton Howard, will welcome the conference on behalf of the City, Hon.

In a statement issued today Secretary Calloway stated that of the 300 bills that have been introduced in the Maryland Legislature only those sponsored by the Internal Commission directly ain at bettermort of Negroes' welfare. There being no representative of this group in that body the Negro is forced to resort to public appeal to get a hearing. HENRYTON HOSPITAL HAS WAITING LIST HENRYTON HOSPITAL HAS WAITING LIST State Sanitarium Is Filled To Capacity According to Superintendent LEGISLATURE ASKED FOR $110,000 BUILDING Addition Would House 60 More Adults And 30 Children dren The Maryland Tuberculosis Sanitarium at Henryton, Md., is uniformly filled to almost capacity of 106 patients and always has a long waiting list, according to the annual report of the board of managers. Dr. Victor F. Cullen, superintendent. The sanitarium which has been in operation since 1923 was developed cautiously, the reports states, as no one knew whether such a hospital would attract patients or otherwise. Hence, plans were laid so that the hospital might be built in sections, one at a time. The number of patients seeking admission in 1923-24 did not justify the state to provide for much expanding and supplementations for maintenance have been made for 60 patients n.y. Under the management of Dr. John O'Neill, who became superintendent of Ennison branch the first year, 1926, the situation improved in the department, in winning the confidence of the medical profession as well as the present and prospective patients. The board of directors report that the Ennison sanitarium with increased staff would gratify the highest expectations. Pay patients' receipts amounted to $349. Expenses during the year exceeded the income $8,118 due to the fact that a new patients had to be provided for. The legislature is being asked to make up this deficit this year and in addition to appropriate $105,000 a new administration building which the doctors say is sorely needed. In this building, the dining room, the kitchen, the officers' quarters could be located which now require space in the hospital which should be devoted to housing sick people. With such facilities which were required to be placed in the hospital building in the meantime, a way of temporary makehift, removed from the hospital to an administration building, space will be free for 60 more patients including a special ward for 20 children. Last year the per capita cost of patients white and colored in the state district was $577, but it is difficult so that the government is recommending in his appropriation for salaries and maintenance an appropriation based on $621 patients and $799 per capita in all the state institutions. The governor is not recommending the new building for Henryton in his first budget. His remark is that such construction as is recommended for all the state sanction will be included in the general construction loan. of advertisements on the superior home Maker's Building Association.

Briggs, West Point. R. Franklin, Richmond. Jane Crowden, Richmond. Sam White, Richmond. Lillian, Richmond. Annie Lancaster. Catherine Smith, Glouster Point. Susan Smith, Glouster Point. Henrietta Taylor, Glouster Point. Will am Burton, Yorktown. Cecelia Taylor, Yorktown. Fla. Andersen, Yorktown. Among the 103 survivors taken from the ill fated Steamer "City of Annapolis" just before she sank after being rammed by a sister ship City of Richmond during a heavy fog Friday, 13 were colored, according to a statement issued to the AFRO by the passenger agent of the Chesapeake Steamship Company. The passengers, many of whom lost all of their belongings in the wreck bounded the boat at many different ports in Virginia, their addresses show. An investigation of the wreck began before the United States inspectors shortly after the crush. Thirty nesses including the ness of the two ships were summoned, and the investigators are attempting to place the blame for the catastrophe. According to testimony of the captains the engines of the "City of Annapolis" were stopped due to the dense fog. While the ship stood idle, the "City of Richmond" crushed into the port side. The passengers were removed to the "City of Richmond" before the ship went down. TELLS STORY OF WRECK The story of the crush was told to an AFRO reporter by Donald Redd, a member of the crew of the NCO of Richmond. Mr Redd was a native of Bourbonne. Mr Redd, of a graduate of Morse Academy in this city, the wreck was due to a misunderstanding of signals. Mr Redd said, "Our sleeping quarters on the City of Richmond" are on the top of the city. He said that the whistle and any blowing of the whistle usually wakes up on. Captain Willing of the City of Richmond being a man of many years of experience and unlimited nerve, never loves the whistle of the city of and, for the rest of the time, he is not in a fog. There was a Iran p ship running between the City of Richmond and the City of Annapolis, and the "Annamois" could not see the "Richmond" at the time. When the city of Richmond was signed to the "City of Annapolis", the tramp's whistle blew also and there was a confusion. The "City of Annapolis" swerved out of her course thinking the was gettin' out. Mr Redd was a first-in-out participant who had to be in the city. But in its path before either captains could do anything to avoid the accident. They met in a terrible crash which sent the how of the City of Richmond two weeks later in the city of the city of the holding port until all passengers were safe on the "City of Richmond". WOMAN AND BABIES SAVED It was a minute that she did not carry the "City of Richmond" down with her, because as she began to sink the baby around her, the mother had not propeller down and shining pull her out. If the cabins on the Annapolis had not been broken house as she sank, both ships would have gone down into ninety feet of water. SETTLE EXCITEMENT The mother had an amount of passengers or crew. One colored lady on the "City of Annapolis" had hysteresis after she and her two babies had been saved. She was awakened suddenly by the assistant, purser on the "City of Annapolis," who grabbed her babies, one under each arm and one under the back. She got to the dock, he handed the babies safely to the "City of Richmond," then helped the mother across, after which she fainted. The Cheesapeake is now operating one ship which sells every other day, the dock being required, expecting to be out in ten or fifteen days and resume her trip.
