HELPED FATHER LOOK FOR SON HE HAD MURDERED King Jones Who Killed Youth With Axe Acted As Guide In Search MAN HELD FOR CRIME GETS BAIL; NABS SLAYER William Robinson Turns Detective And Makes Guilty Man Confess Another argument to prove that truth is stranger than fiction was revealed to an Afro Reporter by Miles Nixon, aged paper dealer, this week when he declared that he had spent several days with King Jones of Camden, N. J., looking for his missing son before it was brought to light that Jones himself had murdered the youth with an axe and robbed him of $288 last October. The son, Joseph Morris Nixon, went to Philadelphia, about two months prior to the tragedy and worked with Jones, who was a distant relative of Nixon. In Seattle, he is well known around Baltimore, went to that city to visit his children, having there besides the one who was sixteen years of age, two married daughters. Lead On Widowgose Chase. Uncle to locate his son, Jones, who was the aunt of his son-law's sister, offered to take him to his son's place of abode. For three days Jones led him around Philadelphia and Camden on wildgoose chases, until finally in desperate need of the youth with the police. Two months, so William Robinson was arrested and held in connection with the murder of the boy, who was found shin with an ax in the latter's home. Jones and the youth had taken rooms with Robinson in Camden and Camden with Nixon. The murder Jones disappeared and Robinson was held. Accused Proves Detective Robinson was released on bail and he had incurred suspensions against the latter, but the queer actions of Jones led him to investigate and taking a long chance when he saw an officer approach he pointed at Jones, saying 'Officer arrest this man, he has been caught, he thought he was joking and would have paid no attention had not Jones taken to his heels and was only caught after a chase of several blocks. At the amusement Police Jones Jones is in jail he confessed the murder and told police that the boy had told him that he had $288 on his person and when Robinson left the house he struck the boy in the head with an axe while he was ...leep and took the money, Jones is in jail and the authorities on a murder charge. The father of the boy said he is going to Philadelphia next week to await the action of the Court. "ACE" FORMAN FORCED DOWN AT SALT LAKE SALT LAKE CITY, Utah—"Ace" Forman, who started a cross-country flight from Eagle Air Port, California, to New York City, last Sunday, was forced down four miles when he was caught in a hibiscus Tuesday when his crew took four miles through the snow and stated that he would continue his flight as soon as funds arrived from Los Angeles for a new engine. Five hundred enthusiastic spectators him when he jumped off at Eagle Air Port in a Curtis plane with Artis Ward as passenger mechanic. They made their first landing at Cleveland Field, Santa Monica, at six o'clock. What was heard from the fliers until Wednesday afternoon when a telegram from Salt Lake City was received by the California Eagle, asking the editor J. B. Bass, to get in touch with Dr. Hudson, president of the local branch of the druggist, and raise $250 so that the flight could be continued. The telegram read that they, Foreman and Ward, had made a force landing some five miles from Salt Lake City in the snow because of a need for a new motor. Lochard, Fired by Durkee, Appointed to D. C.

This ONE DOLLAR campaign for the endowment of Howard University is finding favor, for it is the easiest way of giving the colored people of America a chance to attend Howard University their institution. If the colored people can be persuaded to put their campaign they will gain the admiration of all races. Race respect and recognition grow logically out of race pride. It is hoped that the college will play a major role in bringing attention to this campaign. Not long ago, a group of Washington chancellors gave President Johnson a public testimonial and requested their assistance in his administration and pledging him their support.

Commencement The plan is to present to Howard University on Commencement Day. A double, out-segregated ONE DOLLAR donations by Negroes. The campaign has just started. He needs the widest publicity. Every friend of the race is invited to ONE DOLLAR himself and pass the ONE DOLLAR along to others. The check should be made out to Howard University but not to the MAGNIFICANT that the total amount may be presented on Commencement Day. Though the meeting was held under denominational auspices, the true sentiment was undercounted. The true support of Howard's first colored president, At the time, no definite proposal was made as to the ways and means of helping the university to work out, so that those eminent churchmen have an opportunity to express in a tangible way their confidence and support. Terms Of Race Now is the time for the churchmen throughout the country to have the opportunity to express their confidence and support. An appeal to the churches is particularly fitting, for President Johnson himself wears the cloth of the Christian history and churchmen, regardless of denomination. The writer hopes that colored people will think in terms of race and not in terms of religion. Howard University belongs to the tag. Like in any noble and enduring enterprise, Howard University is the September 17, 1866, at the monthly concert of the First Congregational Church of Washington, D.C. that Howard University came to know and the freedom became the tone of that meeting. The First Eleven On the 26th of the same month eleven members assembled to consider the question further. A committee was appointed to prepare and report on a plan in detail. The report was the opening of a night school in which instruction should be given in evidences of Christianity, Biblical Interpretation, Biblical History and Sacred Literature in their relation to Hygiene—a rather strange collection to be sure, but nevertheless the plan. Senator Samuel Porter of Kansas and a professor of Wilson of Massachusetts attended this meeting. The former suggested that the scope of the institution be enlarged to include the professors so the name was changed to the Theological and Normal Institute. The first charter was drawn by Senator Potterey. Later, the doors were thrown open to women and all races. He was among its illustrious alumni many representatives of the white race. At the suggestion of General Howard, in time for the charter, a university was established to include, besides the theoretical and normal department of medicine, and one of agriculture, also a preparatory department and collegiate department or departments. On March 1, 1867, the House of the Roe D. J. Nichols, a vote was taken to call the new institution Howard University in honor of General O. O. Nichols, the first president of its institution. On March 2, 1867, the revised bill for incorporation passed both houses of Congress. Modest Beginning From this modest beginning. Howard University grew up in great heights, but the fact to be borne in mind is that it was the church which gave birth to this institution. The church naturally retains an interest in The irony of the situation is that the federal funds cannot be used in theological school. The fundamental school of the university has thus had to be made available to how much Congress may appropriate for the university, not one cent can be used for the school which is the main spring of the university. big Jamboree Company "Exelento is Wonderful" Star of Big Jambo Says "Exelent Star of Big Jamboree Company Says "Exelento is Wonderful" 10 Exelento Skin and Shampoo Soap is guaranteed to preserve the complexion hoofy.

Your name here is a receipt for one dollar which has been forward- ed to the Treasurer of Howard University. Church Is Potent Sober thought, even in these days of unbridled freedom, believes that the church is still one of the most potent agencies, when functioning alert, to bring peace and good school to the mind and to the development of any race as a strong college, medical school, or law school. Every effort should be made to give Howard's theological school facilities that it needs. The endowment of Howard University would give the theological school the chance which it merits. To do so, Howard wrote this connotation. ONE DOLLAR from every colored person would easily solve the problem. Usual Retort The usual return from the church is that its coffers are already overaxed. We hear much of the constant demands being made on the church. We are aware of the millions and similar claims. Whenever a church ceases to have such demands or ceases to attempt to satisfy such demands, the usefulness that institution is spent. One of the most important refuges in the time of storm, the place which never turns a worthy cause from its doors. Pastor Should Entreat All that Alumnus asks is that the members of every Negro church in this country be entrusted by its pastor to sacrifice just Oust 1011. Our investment fund. The sacrifice is by no means a burdenless one and can help to make possible a great monument to the Negro race. In the combination of dollars there is strength. The enforced American Army could be a valuable force if they but recognized the true efficacy of union, even of dollars. Without feeling the burden, the Negroes of this country, simply by making a sacrifice, could endow in time every worthy institution that is helping to improve the race. Another Year The dollars, which this year could endow Howard University, could be contributed, another year, to some other institution. Nergess themselves have taken care of their most valued institutions. It is not necessary to sit byly by until some millionaire takes place on an Ngress himself to offer an unpaid effort to ruso endowments in this modest way. It is a truism that people spend their lives on their own tastes and desires. It is also a truism that races that have ever played any serious part in the world's history have first and foremost cultivated a set of values that has and never will sorrow to enviable heights. The job of educating the youth of the race is one of the most imperative services bequeathed to Enthusiasm In our enthusiasm to raise the Howard endowment, we must not lose sight of the fact that the Negroes have a strong tradition of situations. The church schools, for example, have had a long and notable struggle, but even their struggle would be at an end if the colored people had not instituted the institution for the contribution of a dollar each. This year, the ONE DOLLAR appeal is the most successful. All the writer asks is that every Negro take enough pride in the Negroes' largest university to send ONE DOLLAR to place the university beyond the boundaries of an appropriate year, because for the first time in the history of the largest col- Gonzaleil White, celebrated star in her own Big Jamboree Company, whose beautiful hair and lovely skin have been admired by thousands, says she owes these charms to the regular use of Exelso toilet alts.

Commencement The plan is to present to Howard University on Commencement Day an endowment collected through ONE DOLLAR donation by students. The DOLLAR donation is colored president and the gift of an endowment by colored people themselves will make history for the race. The campaign has just started. It will be held on campus and publicly. Every friend of the race is asked to do double duty—send ONE DOLLAR himself and pass the along to others. The check should be made out to the AFRO-AMERICAN that the total amount may be presented on Commencement Day. One Dollar Only The appeal is for checks and money orders of ONE DOLLAR only. Parents, of course, may send checks covering the members of their families. The aim is to let every person share the movement in endowing Howard University. The movement is democratic, so that the humblest newspaper boy may be just as important in the endowing of Howard University as the wealthiest students. All donations are thus impossible. All donations are equalized. No Expense This is the most wonderful opportunity to make Howard University the university of the people. Every cent goes to Howard University. Not one cent is expended in the compartment. Time, space, and collections are without any expense. There are no advertising expenses, no traveling expenses, no commissions to collectors, no telephone bills, no payment to the university, one cent of expenses that will be taken out of the dollar. Every penny goes to Howard University. Donors Names Printed The applause is to all. Who will deny Howard University ONE DOLLAR under these circumstances? Let the dollars be paid, but be sure to send contributions in the form of checks or money orders made payable to Howard University but sent to the AFRO-AMERICAN. Watch our column of donors grow. Every check will be acknowledged in these columns. Send in ONE DOLLAR now making it payable to Howard University, but sent to the AFRO-AMERICAN. Remember, no deductions. Every cent for the Howard Endowment. Look for your name. FARMER'S BODY IS PLANNED WASHINGTON:—Melvin J.

SUPREME COURT HALTS TEXAS PRIMARY ELECTION LAW Saturday, Mar. 12, 1927 SUPREME COURT CALLS HALT ON TEXAS Race Wins Right To Vote In Democratic Primaries There TEXAS LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL Leading Lawyers Of Nation Argued Case For The N. A. A. C. P. WASHINGTON, D. C.— The United States Supreme Court Monday declared un- constitutional the Texas statue barring Negroes from voting in Democratic primaries in that state. The court held that the statute violates the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution, which grants the equal protection of the laws. Primary Question The question of whether a primary is a part of the election, over which the "United States Senate" is elected, is the Supreme Court. The Texas statute is such a direct and obvious infringement of the fourteenth amendment that it unnecessary to the fifteenth amendment, the court held. Lower Court Reversed The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the United States court for the western district of Texas, which dismissed the suit brought by the plaintiff against Nikki Levin of the Texas against C. C. Heryndon and Charles Porras, election officers, for $2,000 damages for preventing the plaintiff from arbitrate primary election July 25, 1924. Writ Of Review The case came before the United States court for the primary election for writ of review. It was argued January 4, last by Attorney Fred C. Knollberg of C. E. Paso, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York, on behalf of Dr. Nikon. On the brief for the plaintiff were Robert J. Channell of Cobb, Robert J. Channell of E Paso, and Mr. Knollberg. No argument was made on behalf of the defendants, but Attorney General Robert J. Channell 50 days in which to file a brief. Justice Holmes The opinion of the United States Supreme Court was delivered by Justice Oliver Wendel Holmes. It is as follows: “This is an action against the Judges of Elections for refusing to permit the plaintiff to vote at a primary election in Texas. It lays the damages at $5,000. Qualified To Fete The petition alleges that the plaintiff is Negro, a citizen of the United States and of Texas and a resident of El Paso, and in every way qualified to vote, as set forth in detail, except that the statute to be mentioned interferes with his right; that on July 25, 1924, a primary election w.c.s held at El Paso for the nomination of candidates for a Senator and Representatives in Congress and state and other offices of the Democratic ticket; that the plaintiff, being a member of the Democratic party, sought to vote but was denied the right by defendants; that the denial was based upon a statute of Texas enacted in May, 1923, and designated Article 3993a, by the words of which "no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic party primary election held in the State of Texas," etc., and that this statute is contrary to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. Move To Dismiss "The defendants moved to dismiss upon the ground that the sub-tenant was not within the jurisdiction of the court. The suit - as dismissed and a writ of error was taken directly from the court, the defendant was made on behalf of the defendants, but a brief was allowed to be filed by the Attorney General of the State." Play On Words The objection that the subject matter of the suit is political is little more than a play: "on words." Of course, the petition concerns political action but it alleges and seeks to recover for private damage. Private Damage "That private damage may be caused by such political action and may be recovered for i. a suit at law hardly has been doubted for over two hundred years, since Ashby v. White, 2 Ld. Raym. 933, 3 Id. 320, and has been recognized by this court. While v. Stinkler, 179 U. S. 58, 64, 65. Giles v. Harris, 189 U. S. 475, 485. See also Judicial Code, sec. 23 (11), (12). Act of March 3, 1911, c. 231; 36 Stat. 1087, 1092." "If defendants' conduct was a wrong to the plaintiff the (same reasons that allow a recovery for denying the plaintiff a vote at a final election allow it for denying a vote at the primary election that may determine the final result." The important question is whether the statute can be sustained. But although we state it as a question the answer does not seem to us open to it and we should consider the Fifteenth Amend. but it seems to us hard to imagine a more direct and obvious infringement of the Fourteenth. Amendment while it applies to all was, passed as we know, with a special intent to protect the blacks from discrimination against them. Shagter House Cases. 16. 100 J. S. 303. Shagter v.

Page Four ASKS SUPERVISOR TO SIT TIGHT ON SCH'OL PROBLEMS "Where There Is So Much Smoke," She Says, "There Must Be Fire." PARENT-TEACHER HEAD AIRS SCHOOL VIEWS Mrs. William Bauernschmidt Tells Forum Officials Should Meet Issue Stating that where there was so much smoke, there must be some fire, and urging Supervisors on the M. Wheel to sit tight on the lid of colored school problems, Mrs. William Baurcrushmidt, executive secretary of the Public School Association, placed a school problem at the Open Forum at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Baurcrushmidt, in her characteristic manner, went through the list of school problems, from the proposed to the work for elementary pupils. She praised Frank Kelly and Thomas Smith and in the same breath told them to get off. She explained the policy of the APRO-AMERICAN and the Herald-Commonwealth in keeping up the light over the high school situation. Mrs. Baurcrushmidt, describing the high school should be straightened out by public officials. She also promised to fight to secure for colored school nearly $2,000,000 in fund "I look with grave concern," said the speaker, "on the policy of the Herbert J. Wood business. It is understanding the morale of your boys and girls, and breaking down the respect of your high school students for wrapper authority." Whether matters are right or wrong at the high school, she said. "I am not a competent judge. But where there is a fire, Mr. Wood is the duty of no one but Mr. Wood, backed by Dr. Weglen, to put the fire out." "The question is shattering the morale of your boys and girls. My advice is, stop talking about the high school; do not lend yourselves to promote it. You must not take your information to Mr. Wood, or Dr. Weglen." "The question is this. It or is not the principal running the high school, the best interests of the school children." Mrs. Bauerschmidt said, at the beginning of her address, in reply to the chairman, that she would never become a candidate for any political office, or accept any appointive office, because if she did, she would never be free to protest. She believed, she said, in equality of opportunity for all children regardless of race or color. She believed in the platoon system in the grades and hoped to see more schools like the Caroline School and the Locust Point school, established in 1912, in having trained principals for elementary schools, and a definite plan for selecting and promoting actively said the speaker, "your buildings are little or no good. You have been reeved old and worn out buildings have been used, and you have been used if a site could be found on the streets of the city where a large playground could be bad, and that was difficult. Sites for colored schools within the city limits are expensive, because colored people unreasonably hight rents for the houses that would have to be con- She mentioned the difficulty that the Public School Association$^2$ faced in securing the site for the new Presion Street building. Mrs. Burton Advises Women On Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton. "I was subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholy little daughter and proud son true companion and inspiration to my husband. I am the secret of the woman world, with the secret of my bapiness, and I will gladly write to her." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without chance. She has nothing to offer Mrs. Margaret, Burton, 252 Massachusetts, Kansas conditional. Indigestion Relieved "I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sabel, of Gadsden, Ala., "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Pureju Vegetable for a long time. The druggist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made in to tea and take it any time I need the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the price." Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose. **Sold Everywhere** Call Vernon 6016 The Baltimore Federation of Parent-Teacher Clubs held its regular meeting in the Community House, as the guest of School 118, Tuesday night.

(ANP)—The advertising field offers the most fierce opportunity to work with Negro men or woman, said Henry F. Arnold, special advertising representative of the Baltimore Afro-American, as he worked with the press week and discussed various phases of Negro journalism in the offices of the Associated Negro Press. Her association, the speaker asserted, is going to fight to have placed in the ordinance the pro-immigrant statue that the definite sum of $1,500,000 be used for colored schools. At least four new buildings ought to be built with this amount, she declared. Frank Kelley had his support to this loan Mrs. Bauersmidt, who was the president, but he defeated. "I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Kelley, as a political leader," she d'clared, "but he knows he cannot touch out of colored schools. I also an able political leader, but I want him to keep his fingers out of colored schools. When he I has his fingers in the schools, he will have At this point, the speaker criticized the parents for failure to stand together on school questions, and accused the parents-teacher organizations. She told them to provide proper home study conditions for their children, and scored teachers for their failure when assigning conditions when assigning home work. "If you honestly believe that your child is given too much home study conditions, come to me, and we will ride Mr. Wood out of town. He has b. appointed by the school to take care of the schools, and it is up to him to see that your children get fair treatment and equal opportunity. He scolded her talk with a warning to her audience not to be carried away by political candidates who talk of a colored member on the school board, was not yet ripe. She said it was a cheap bid for cheap votes. What promised to be an animated member on the school board was cut short by the chairman because of the lack of time. Rev. A. J.

Maurice Moss asked why the site for Doughtas High School had been placed, and would be repaid that at the time, when a site for this school was being secured, the association was not functorizing very strongly, a white opposition had prevented that.

LOUIS PROTESTS ACTS PORO RECEIVER Conrad Paeben's Axe Chops Off Heads Of Two More Employees FORMER PASTOR CONDEMNS MALONE The Rev. M. W. Williams, His Pastor, Raps Him In Sunday Sermon ST. LOUIS. (By A. N. P.) —All St. Louis is said to be rising in indignation and protest as Conrad Paeben, white receiver for Poro Col- lege, rides rough shod over what they believe the best interests of one of the race's greatest institutions. Paheen has discharged two more Poro employees, one for many years the secretary of Mrs. Malone. Those who have lost their jobs thus far are Edgar McDaniel, office manager, Charlene Stone, Stone net manager; Mrs. A. H. Stevely and Mrs. L. Procope, a bookkeeper. These sudden dismissals together with a series of other high handed acts at Poro College have aroused all St. Louis to a realization that the very perpetuity of the organization is threatened. From the start the tactics of the receiver have shown how ill heigned his appointment was, although a sawyer named Immanuel type politician Paheen, who it is said is a former hack driver, actually appears ignorant. He talks condescendingly to the employees, threats and storms about and with some differences in degree, acts, it was evident that the organization Legere, a different kind of man would have gotten along very well at Poro, but Paheen's attitude is unfortunate. Ministers of the city, Baptist Methodist, and of every persuasion, preached on Poro last Sunday morning. At staid St. Paul when Rev. W. Williams, the pastor of Aaron E. Malone and long his friend finished the Poro meant to the room in which he condemned Malone's actions and ended with aribute to Mrs. Malone for her accomplishment, the audience disregarded tradition and stood cheering. Rev. Williams proposed a mass meeting of St. Louis citizens to test against the prosecution and hastened dissession of Mrs. Malone. Paube, accompanied by S. E. Garner, a colored attorney, who was named "Attorney For The Receiver" has even taken charge of the chapel services at Pore, where he lays down the rules for Bible quotation to edit himself. Recently he said "To him who hath shall be given and to him who hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away." He told the employees that "Loyalty to Pore is the legality of loyalty to him." He advised the employees to "Pay No Attention To What You See In Negro Newspapers." Some of the charges against the receiver are that he had a check for Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) drawn in favor of himself. Mrs. Malone's lawyer, Kris Huffman, the defense attorney, Moses Hartman, and demanded to know what the receiver was going to do with the check. Paube refused to tell, saying he would explain to the judge in private. Friday he returned the check uncashed to Pore. It is said that Receiver Paube has any personal charge of opening the mail at Pore, using a colored nightwatchman, whom he recently hired, to assist him. Much of Mrs. Malone's personal mail has been opened, according to rumor, which also explains because of her close relationship with C.E. business, Mrs. Malone personally. Paeben probably finds it hard to understand the brethren. In an effort to ingratiate himself, he takes M. Garner with him every morning on a round of the departments and stops to smile at the patrick with a good morning'. Attorney Garner, charged by some with instigating the dismissal of Messrs. McDaniel and Stone, strenuously denies it. Mr. Garner, who has practiced here for several years, formerly was a resident of Mississippi, where he was a citizen. Citizens here are awaiting March 21, the day of the next hearing, almost with bated breath. Porter Gets Divorce MARTINSBURG, W. VA. A.

(By A. N. P.)—Not a single measure, which might be construed as of special benefit to the race group, was passed in the 69th Congress, according to analysis made of its proceedings this week. Since the most important bill of the session were lost in the parliamentary battles during the last few days, among them being the general deficiency bill, carrying provisions for World War veterans, farmers North and South, and a release of money which would have release of employment situation throughout the country. The immigration quota bill became a law, controlling future immigration on the basis of the number of nationals already in America. The South opposed it united. Many well informed Negroes contended will be admitted under the new law, they would rather see members of the Latin race coming to America than those of the related national. The Watson-Barker railway labor bill, backed by the Republicans and Democrats, would be allowed the old railway labor board, under which the Negro railway workers had made rapid gains and substituted therefor machinery more difficult to manipulate. The Pullman porters have the first case on record before the new leadership and counsel. Onlookers are waiting to see what they can accomplish. D.C. WOMAN NAMES SISTER IN DIVORCE WASHINGTON, D.

P. living in cities and towns from which the 15 Committee members come, wait on each member and this delegation pledged 13 of the 15 members to an adverse report on the bill. Moorfield Story, the National Press Office, N. A. A. A. C. P., submitted a statement in which he said: "If there is any objection to unions between the two races, a bill to forbid marriage is not the way to prevent it. The South is the South, as is shown by the number of mis-roots, and that they naturally come together is shown by the multitude of descendants from such relations. They will continue to do so, and no law will prevent it. It is certain that their colored woman have the same protection which is given to her white sister than, that she should be at the mercy of white seducers. Such a law is proposed in a long series of hearings, and it would be a disgrace to Massachusetts, if it is not defeated overwhelmingly." Others who submitted statements include Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, leading suffragist and Florence H. Luscomb, both white. DIDN'T DO HIM RIGHT SO HE KILLED HER D. C.

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 cough and cold of three troubles. Cremulsion 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 cough and colds, bromide and chloride respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your drumm师. (adv.)

The Minerva Art Club in sponsoring a benefit and party last Saturday, returned to one of its caricature boys — Sweet Charity. Perhaps you, too, can recall how proudly this so went in for that sort of a thing a white back. One year they screened the Day Nursery there on David Hill avenue, and screen it from garret to garret. Then another time, I think, they benefited Provident Hospital and St. Katherine's Home; in fact, many worthy causes have been added through their activities. Their objective in this effort was to furnish a plane to the institution for deficient birds at Mekwale. Miss Gorinchian Fields, who keeps in close contact with the situation there outlined to the guests the expressing conditions of the place and she called attention, too, to the fact that all of its inmates were not there because of insurgency, illness, or loss and are there only because Mackensie and Ritchie's Free State has made no other provision for them in all sounded so disallayed that no wished he could have submitted in their behalf.

LEMONS ARE BEST to whiten the skin and clear the complexion Many beauty specialists claim that the best way to bleach the skin and to keep the face, arms and hands soft is to massage them with lemon-cream made as follows: Squeeze the juice of two lemons into a three ounce bottle of Orchard White shaker and only you will have a quarter pint of the finest skin white-cream, gritter and beautifier known. Any dreggist will supply you with tequila White for just a few cents. You will find this wonderful, sweetly-fragrant lemon lotion to be perfectly hardiness and non-irritating. Actresses whose professional calls for this lemon cream prefer this lemon cream because it keeps the skin in a youthful, healthy condition.

They are both scientists at the game. About the others, you hadn't been quite so sure, because after least a dozen others who were no pilkers, but of them, Nellie Buchanan, Mrs. Hull of Madison avenue, and Ruth DeMond were the only ones to come out of the tray with honors.

Her first selection was "The Lord is My Shepherd," but all the while she was singing, "Where Have You Been that persistently in my mind was, 'Where Have You Been Hiding All These Years.'

Of the 150 persons employed in presenting "Great Tempations" fully 30 per cent are female. And such women are well-fitted, well-charmed, cubical of tautilizing mannequins in their vestments of talenum, crops of captivating coryphes, lime limbed and celestious, cause the beholder to admit that those who chose the title entitlement are indeed it well.

The California Three, members of the "Plantation Days" revue, were in next to closing rendering their selections in close and clever harmony. The boys were really dressed from head to foot. The itch Japs, one of the cleavest and fastest acts calling for their hands, closed the bill and was selected by the gang as the bill's favorite act. ROYAL RESSE'S SMITH'S FROLICS Principles.

Jack Gee is presenting Bessie Smith and a supporting cast in "Harlem Frolies," a sonz and dance revue runs along the lines of the average revue. A very nice crowd was on hand to greet the "Empress Of The Blues" at matinee on Monday and voice: the approval of Bessie's singing by letting loose with their hands. The closest rival to Bessie for hands were Lerling and Phillips, two dancers that offer plenty of dancing, during familiar routines, but in a classy and graceful manner. The show has a fast opening but seems to have been stretched out, with the audience lessening and lessening of bits will reminded this. There is one rather nice comedy handled by Smith and Scott, Scott and Gerlie with a few new songs will be on, and in lead. The main attraction is Bessie, she has lost none of her art in selling the "blues" or acting as a comedienne. MONEY TO BE MADE IN THE MOVIES "Prince Of His Race" Example Of Drawing Power Of Race Films By S. H. Dudley, Sr. "Colored pictures is my subject for this week," writes Vince Dudley veteran producer. "I don't believe any manager lost a dime on one regardless of how rotten it was." "This being the gossip why can't they make money with good pictures, with good scenarios written carefully around colored attunes, oneself and stop trying to use the white man. "I believe that if the Lafayette Players had used special plays of Negro life instead of playing the same shows that they would not have suffered in comparison and would have made an ever-sing success. "When one goes to a theatre he wants cooled amusement and I feel safe in saying that one colored picture a month would not be too much, but, of course; we want good pictures to make them. All managers of the剧院 should play them." as there are so few colored theatres in the United States : compared with much to produce ; a good colored picture as it does to produce a good white picture with the single exception of a high salaried star. Now: what we need is a producing film company, capitalized for our own work, and for our own working crew with the single exception of a cameraman, director and detail man as we have not had the opportunity to learn these fine points; but after the company has functioned two of three years we could then qualify, so you could have would mean to our people financially. I am asking your opinion, not only the managers of theatres, but the public, so write your thoughts and ideas to this paper. The last picture of color that I saw was made by the Colored Players Corporation of Philadelphia entitled: Prince of His Race; a safe message that will agree that it was by far the best one that we have ever produced and we will get better as we go 'ing." Langston Hughes In Reading Darby, Ta.-Louston Hughes, author of "Pins Clothes to the Jew," who pleased a large audience who he wrote a reading here Thursday night. $5000 Row Boat Race LOS ANGELES, CAL.—A row boat race to be called the "Skiff Skimmers Derby" is rumored to take place sometime soon over the same 22 mile-course followed by the Catalina swimmers several weeks after the contest is open all and the winner will receive $5,000 in cash. Rarin' To Go Palace-Columbia Burlesque The greatest colored-and-white musical revue on the road is Ed. D. Dolley's "Rarin To Go," which opens Sunday night at the Palace Theatre for a week's engagement. This is the offering that is being presented in Columbia Circuit last season in gross business drawn and for this swing around the "Wheel." A special midnight show will be given Friday night. There are 75 and one half performers including 37 white and 25 and one half colored stars. The Harry Luces, the half-pint funter, Jimmie Ferguson, late star of "Dixie to Broadway," and Jones and Jones, unending counts of merchant, lead the merrymaking. Then there is Perry and Haynes and Wesley Hill, and among the lot a half inch is exploded every few minutes. There are some attractive women principals including Edith Spencer, international entertainer, favorite soubette and dancer. There is also a colored beauty beige of 15 women who are quoted as being world-beaters for looks and activity. Joe Jordan's Ten Sharps and Flats is an instrumental group of colored musicians who play jazz ditties during the show's action on the stage and in the orchestra treble. The musical effects and equipment are carried and 26 gorgeous scenes are utilized. STAR Gilda Gray, the American star who won fame and fortune as a wriggling dancing girl in "Alma Of The South Is Sissy," is hard pressed to cheer her chers of Mabel McMarr's Hello Dixieland Company. The show is a light little musical comedy with some plot, comedy that is sometimes funny and sometimes not funny, but there are girls who know how to dance. There are several notes which were written for the company. Miss McMarr proves she is a leading lady who shows up well in her songs and she has an able subtreite in Miss Jessie Furrell Roberta the music is diried by Zee Roberta who shows some excellent playing at the plane. The plot deals with "Samba," Johnnie Williams, who comes up from Vicksburg with more money than intelligence. He falls among a group of female charmers and a deceitful friend. At Reid, and is forced to count the crusities back to his home, Johnnie appears a bit fresene with hit, comedy at times but he exceeds in his conde dancing. Willie Morris, another blackface, adds to the ensemble with his Charleston and comedy parts. The show has its weak spots in the comedy, and in not allowing Johnnie Williams to sing more. The chorus takes the brightest spots on the bill with its speed, grace and ease in dancing. Their contortions approach the borders of suit occasionally, but as a whole they made a good impression. Lila: Moe McKinney, Edna Lewis, Essie: Moe Baker, and Beatrice Tapset from the chorus. Wrigley Chef Wins Fame ANALOG, Catalina Island, Calif. Rodney W. Jefferson, chief at the famous William Wright Hotel here has won fame as a culinary specialist and his cooking is said to be one of the chief attr- tions which brings distinguished people to the resort. Preaching Records by a preacher who can preach HEAR Rev. J. C. Burnett A T, O, B, A, DOPE By W. R. Arnold NASHYLL,—Being a constant reader of the AFRO-AMERICAN theatrical pages, and "believe others who read them each week will vouche safely acknowledge," the writer is right in saying that they have lost none of their prestige. Great credit should be given its theatrical editor, George D. Lytter, for the manure he has to carry out his aims towards the pages' success. In the issue of Saturday, March 5th, my attention was called to bear upon a very deserving mention contributed by a Mr. Sammy Graham. What Graham says shows that he seemingly knows of "and outs" of what I call just "plain facts", and facts like figures don't As Graham says, the stage needs talent, I for one, say that this statement is based on actual fact. Everyone is running, non-aspirant, those with little or no training, the ones with the idea that he or she will become a star in the theatrical performance over night, but it just such dreams as this which have shattered many an aspirant's ambition. They strive to reach the pinnacle of their night and day dreams. If it doesn't, it some don't come never will. Just as Graham says, "Many show producers have robbed private homes of good maids and chauffeurs." They may be proficiently adapted to their line of work, they may be an excellent artist, they may be a great difference between a maid and a chauffeur. Does this mean that they will become artists? There is no line of business that takes any more careful study than the stage. They start at the bottom of which some always linger, and never reach the As old "Bill" Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely play-eyes." The "early players" are right. They look at actual training they should have. It is this training that perfects them in their chosen line of endover. The stage these days isn't what it used to be. This is the main trouble. It has nothing to offer, nothing the amusement seekers care to witness, ever one tries to be an noter for actress, and the managers are right, picking maids and thauffers to make actors and actresses of them. To further this, Graham says, "There is nothing the matter with these how business, it is now better for the colored performers than ever." It is the colored performers that seem to be gaining in their line of endeavor, and just as Mr. Graham says, "The only trouble lies in the fact, there are too many people on the stage that do not belong there." Mr. Graham is to be congratulated on, such statement. There are "Too" many people on the stage. "The NOT BELOWN THE STATE THAT DO NOT BELONG TO TERR. And how they I have had many of whom have been eager to play behind the footlights, approach the camera, changing them simply for the reason they have no theoretical training. Their eager desire to appear before the footlights is a testament to their skill. Right now, or has there ever been, a greater believer in arranging his performers with an array of beautiful costumes than Kevin C. Miller, does. And Miller, too, does not arrange his ideas in this way, equip all of his shows with an attractive line of beautiful costumes, gorgeous scenery and what not, to help raise them to a high standard of perfection and excellence, and to capturing all of his shows in such a manner, but any to follow of which he has produced will, in all likelihood, receive the same attention. It is such as this that has placed Kevin C. Miller's name at the top of his choosers' list. He will always make it as long as he's in the game. Why, all because he adheres to the belief that, it always pays to equip an attraction with the best that can be contained in the costume and along with a high class array of talent. To make a success of your endearments you've got to lay down the "mighty dollar." Some are afraid to do this. I have always believed in the old saying that "It takes money to make money" "Good help the man," "And it's a blessing that when you pass to the great Beyond, you can't take the money you have made with you. I have as yet not found out where there is any coin of the realm in Heaven. It's the public's eagerness, the theatre-goers, that are the ones who ambulently always looking forward to the day when they will be faithful security and an array of handsome costumes. If you managers would devote your time more to putting your money to some "good use" the shows you put out would be more successful. So a hint to the wise is sufficient. Follow Irvin C. Miller's policy. Handicapped, But Wins NEW YORK.—Although a cripple and suffering from an infantile paralysis, Miss Ruth L.

A cute innocent looking little miss, a member of the "Club Alabah" revues' chorus, blushing, yetoudly admits that she has never had a boy friend in her 20 years of living. One colored "traffic cop", stood at the corner of Seventh and Morr and streets, and was dressed in military uniform and billed officers. In one hand he carried a yellow sign, on, which was written the word "stop" in big black letters and in the other a whistle which was used to denote the time of change of traffic direction. The officer how he got the job, the chaup said, Miss Bacne, pronounced, "Bashay," joined the show one week after serving as clerk and was the first little member of the ensemble. She says the only explanation that she can give as to why she has never sought the company of a fellow is, the fact that she graduated in 1924 from Schenley HI School, Pittsburgh, and spent most of time in reading. Not merely reading, but studying, she will help her most in her location. "You see, mister, we act as traffie cops every morning and afterter- tories we go to the colored children would get run over were it not for the fact that we are on the job here." "Where did it originate?" was the Miss Bache contends that she will work hard in hopes of some day becoming a star. She realizes, although she has been on the stage but a week, that only hard work will put at the top where she desires to be. "Well, one time the police had a strike and they had to come out to the school and get us boys. We made good, so now they keep us up. When asked did he receive any pay, he stated. "No, those guys at the City Hall don't pay us, although they help to keep our buddies from being run over by these old cars, and also you can't be a traffic cop unless you make good in mathematics and gymnastics and every- The manager of the company stated that he finds the little lady congenial and not of the sort with which managers have trouble.

GENERAL This press report should be interesting to music lovers. "Opera that can be understoo by the masses is the purpose of the National Opera Guild, Inc. incorporation of which was approved this week by Supreme Court Justice Levy. It is proposed to produce classical operas in English with American casts with American superintendent composers are to be encouraged. "The project was inspired by Semion Tomars, formerly of the Metropolitan and Manhattan opera companies. "The plan calls for a season season of at least thirty weeks in New York with an extensive repertoire. A co-operative guild is planned." The plan shows the gradual enjoyment of things esthetic by the masses as well as the classes. It appears to be about time for the Race to have its premiers in the theatre and choral society offerings. Chicago made its initial attempt to present an all Negro opera in 1925, when "Thalia" was sung by: cast of the best local and national talent obtainable. It is almost certain that Negro opera will have to be of a popular type which will make its appeal to the musical appreciation of masses who will not willingly pay five dollars for a seat. Wit and not income must be the view taken by the artist of a popular and occasional opera.

Mary is seen in a role in which she portrays even better than most of her former successes. A human brute who cares more for money than the good of other humans, has a farm where he keeps a large group of wounded children in his care.

Like a sort of godsend, she puts mirth and little touches of happiness into lives which would otherwise be only bleak, and cold existence. When the work grows at most, she forms a new murder in his demands. Mary is the only source of comfort. Other children are gradually brought to the miserable prison. Most of these tots are orphans, or from families of people who are mentally and morally deprived, and make no real organized search for them. The children of a man is brought prisoner to the farm. The parents start the police on the trail. The cruel slave master learns of the approach of the authorities and plans to kill all the children and throw their bodies in to the nearby swamp in order to cover up his crime. The plot and then the climax comes. There are adventure, humor, cruelty and pathos vividly shown in this photoplay, and best of all there is Mary Pickford.

The Morgan Seniors gave a notube performance of amateur dramas in their presentation of the Flipper of the Forest poliovirus M. E. Church Thursday evening. The acting was commendable. The play is first of a series of four. The story tells of a man who was not true to the trust placed in him by his business associates and is sent to prison.

TYLER As a result of the fight waged by the American Federation of Musicians Union several theatres are being blacklisted and a ban placed on union men entering the pit. In Baltimore the Lincoln and Renaissance theatres and the Bros. recently were placed on the list by the Baltimore Local and the city placarded by union sympathizers ordering a boycott. The Lafayette Theatre, New York, is the only Harlem house to have fallen under the ban. Where vaudeville acts go in musicians are permitted to appear as a part of the curtain before being kept from going into the pit where non-union men are regularly employed. The union is the union and as such is difficult to buck, as witnessed in these cases. But if a man is perfectly capable of rendering music why not let him work. The greatest example of effronthon union men that I have ever heard was at the Howard Theatre, Washington. Every one of these men are perfectly fitted for playing a show. The country is full of musicians that can render dance music, but there is a scarcity of adequate theatre musicians. In this case what is a manager to do? is he to must the reputation of the show suffer for the lack of some one to play their music? For Fans Only I had a chance to witness the showing of the "Club Alabam" Revue in a New York night club when people were paying two dollars per seat for it, and were catched at the Lafayette theatre in York, where it was likewise devoured. Washington claims it as the season's best drawing card. As spokesman for the fans as well as the performers I asked you not to miss the revue playing at the Royal. I had my reason for asking it. While in New York I was always envious of the Hartemites who seemed to get all the best entertainment while Baltimore were catching as catch can. I spoke to several of the managers in reference to investing a little money in some of these worth while attractions, but at the time it was impossible to get these people out of New York as they were bound to the night club.

ADJUDED BY OPPORTUNITY AB THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1828-26 Saturday, Mar. 12, Week Beg.MAR.14 The Big New Sensation of 1927 AND ROLL The Premier Female Entertainer on the American Stage A Good Act Green and Williams, two clever blackface singers and dancers, brought a wonderfully entertaining show to the Greek. They are good dancers and their interpretation. of the blackbird's return to the South was a welcome innovation to semi-classical singers; they are to be commended for it. They are also to be pitied for their patronizing and superior attitude toward our theatres and audiences. People go to theatres to be entertained and not to be given the impression that' they are fortunate to see persons who consider them "bozos". Unappreciated Talent There was a concert at Sharp Street M. E. Church, Tuesday night which offered some of the best talent and music in the city, advertising and canvassing among supposed music lovers, the musicians had to render their numbers to a house which was hardly a quarter filled. The ending piece barytone, was also invited to sing at the same church last year and found an audience so small that he refused to sing. The people who give so little support to their artistic enterprises are not likely to soon develop a large group of artists. More Singing, Less Talking More Singing, Less Tinker Eddie Connor, musical comedy and the author of the shuffle Along and foster son of J. Rosamond Johnson, in speaking of the success of American companies on the theatrical stage in m.m-English speaking countries, tells the secret. "Over there being liked by the people does not consist of a lot of talking which the people are not singing and plenty of action, which are universal languages." The Negro theatrical people might get a hint out of that. They could possibly get together eliminate some talking and re-engage toward realizing some of the profits which they throw into the laps of countless white financiers.

Coleman Entertains Handicapped Kiddies The crippled children of the city had their inning on Washington's birthday, when the Association for the Handicapped, was host to the handicapped at the Sharp Street Community House. An audience of over 200, composed largely of children, took part in this third annual event prepared for them by Robert W. Coleman; as manager of the Association. Crippled children from the public schools, orphan children from the St. Katherine's Home, and blind folk from the Maryland Workshop for the Blind were present and furnished part of the program themselves. The opening exercises were conducted by the Rev. Dr. George E. Bragg, Jr., who gave a short talk on the comment men of history who were born in the month of July, Lincoln, Douglas and Washington. He stated that the Negro had all along had a share in the making of this country's history and urged the children to sing "America" as though they meant it. The children of the St. Katharine House, under the leadership of Miss Hortense Lilly, gave a group of dances and songs which the youthful audience as well as the older folks present enjoyed. Miss Antoniete Henry and Miss Mary Kyle from the school for crippled children, for school for their charges through the paces next. A very enjoyable program was rendered by this group.

Coleman in a brief talk pointed out the object of the Association and told of some of the things that it has accomplished. He asked for the cooperation of the community in the effort that is being put forward by the organization. This affair is to be an annual event in the Association program, and the Hayes prepares throughout the afternoon. The Eldy Ducklings, a group of young girls, aided a force of older women headed by Mrs. Estelle Young. In serving those present, there were sandwiches, soft drinks, oranges, apples, ice cream and cake in abundance, furnished by friend of the Association.

ACQUITS ACCUSED Gaston Bell, Accused By 14 Year Old Expectant Mother Is Set Free A alleged rape case in which a whole family was envolved in testimony, was heard in Criminal Court Thursday and resulted in the dismissal of Gaston Bell, 24, 19 N. Schroeder street, after suspicion had been directed against both the foster father and brother of Roberta Goodman, 14, of the same address, and against whom the crime was alleged to have been perpetrated. Bell, who is a married man and has one child, was indicted for the crime after the child began to show signs of expectant motherhood. The charges were laid by Mrs. Hattie Parks, who stated that she adopted the girl when she was two years of age. Father And Brother Accused According to the statement of the child Bell attacked her in her home while his wife and her mother were out together. He placed his hand over her mouth and prevented her from making so outrage. The accused, declared that she surprised the girl and her foster brother in a compromising position, in her bedroom, in the early hours of the morning. Other witnesses testified that they had talked to her in endearing terms and telling her that he preferred her to his wife. He has been seen to kiss her and fondle her in ways that did not become a father. Witnesses also testified that they had overheard the girl's mother accuse of improper relations with the girl. So complicated were the accusations that Judge Ulman found Bell not guilty. A welfare organization will investigate the conditions at the home and decide how to place the girl in institution. Bell was represented by William E. Thomas. HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, NERVOUSNESS, FATIGUE, Correct glasses relieve eyestrain and its kindred ailments soon disappear. TO SEE BETTER-SEE Dr. D. M.

"seventeen students when it was founded, and they 'I had Negro concubines. Our worthy forefathers.' ..... "I read somewhere that this, I read somewhere that men have for mutatto women will ultimately solve the race problem." A few phrases were all that Allen caught, as he fumbled for a cigarette or gulped the crystal liquid from his glass. His deep-set eyes remained intent on the page of the book, and he held no attentions to the physical or verbal—of the others in the room. The lamp at his elbow flooded the print; and catching his face in profile, accentuated the shadow where his enim was cleft. His head was fair, his eyes a dark blue; and his lips, parting in the soundless laugh of the crowd, two rows of white and even teeth. It we half paused, three o'clock, and the party proper had recently broken up, although a few interested ones remained in the apartment Mary, in decert, drunken happiness, Black clothing, Black shoes, Patty and John Breckentudge were discussing the New Negro and miscognition. Allen had come only to see Patty, and finding her engaged, had consolled himself with charming rudeness, cop with the man Van Vechters, masterpiece of Negro delinication. The print blurred into greyish-white before his eyes. He looked across at Patty and inwardly shuddered at the thought of the preceding afternoon. A funeral, of course, had been held but not been that; it was the bitter damnable induction ... Patty was spilling ephemeristic phrases for Breckentudge's heavy-toned replies and their words were to Allen as the stokes of a satiric chaperound recording from the 1930s that held them to discuss miscellaneous of all subjects, tonight If he had not known that Patty was courting, he would not have attended this adolescent ours, and he would not have her for several months. An engagement while both realized that marriage was out of the question for a year was implicit between them, and they had definitely assumed a future of mutual love and comradeship. She was an unusual girl; and he had been stimulated by an intelligence actually capable, as a friend had said, of understanding. He helped the ordinary college man pursuing in characteristic fashion the kisses of easy conquest, but the she was beautiful and always popular. Patty shone like a flower among the bloom, and "flames" girls. Allen had visited her home, and had been received in a manner almost absolute in the commercial South. An old darky "uncle" had bowed him into the great bare hall; and Patty's father, white-haired and affable, had welcomed him like a son. Afterwards, over the black-berry brandy, Allen had conceived a deep admiration and affection for the courtly gentleman who was Patty's father; and it was then that he had resolved to marry Patty. She charmed him, and amazed him with the apparent contradictions of her character. With ancestral roots deep in the old South, she had nevertheless detached herself from the old traditions and was entirely independent and advanced, alert, amiable, and agnostic. She had travelled much, and had dabbled in art, music and philosophy—she had never been to school, although she had endured a succession of governesses and tutors; but her chief interest was in human life, which she studied with an intuitive delicacy of experience and an amused comprehension of the various of mankind. Even tonight, with its drinking and dancing its kisses and vulgarity, she had reserved herself coo and fragrant, watching the others participating when she met two couples who did not become triozy with drink. Mary stopped dancing, the needles ground on the Victoria. Breckenridge rose to remove the record and supported Mary into the bed room. "She's a bit sleek," he explained. "Davy name and sat on the arm of Allen's chair. She was wearing pijamas, and a fanning, silker gown. Her hair was unbound and heavy, wearing with dull coupe rints, parted serenely at the very pather of Allen's head. Her lips were vivid and a dimple in the left cheek invaded Allen's kisses. "I hate a pseudo-literary drunk." Call VE rnon 6016 *She said, "I'm tired of everything but you."* Broekenridge opened the door, searched vainly for his hat, shrugged his shoulders, and went out. "Goo' night," he called. "I'll have to see if Mary's all right," said Patty, disengaging herself. She tip-toed to the doorway Mary lay on her side, breathing heavily, her dress in disarray. Patty turned to the other bedroom. "I'm sleepy," she said. "One more kiss." Her eyebrows raised, mingled and she could tell if there was a demand, a question or a further invitation. Her mouth was sweet on his..... "Good night." "I'll come and tuck you in soon," he said. Allen returned to his chair, harrassed by confused emotions and by impulses whose significance he could not understand. Absent-minded he poured the power of the word "Nigger Heaven" again Negroes. Negroes! But Van Vechten's characters knew at least that they were Negroes! The author's quoted phrase ran thru his mind: "this . . . this . . . flair white men have for malatu women will eventually solve the race problem" and perhaps there might be some grain of truth in it. Should he go in to Patty, now. Dear Patty, how exquisite she was! His life, his heart, and resurrection. Allen grinned, not believing in or opposing the insults that might some day, given genius, he art-illusions that exalt, or entrap to ruin through, he smiled, the Christian sins. But enough—let this illusion stand; he gulped down his drink to thame the textures of himself his mind, like a leader plummet in swamp water, sink back to the events of the preceding afternoon. A young woman had phoned Allen and asked if he cared to assist her in the funeral that will actually amuse you" said Mrs. Pieces, and Allen had accepted. It was a rainy day, and Margaré had driven by for him. She was a plain, white woman with a warm and great, intelligent eyes. The charming slowness of her speech, her quite corrupt scepticism, so unusual with Southern gentiletic, and her warm, whole-hearted friendship had formed with the years one of Allen's most pleasurable distractions. "The deceased," Margaret told him, "was a miliary old skinfint, as the popular phrase has it. He came originally from a fairly good family, but sank mighty: how in the early white trash will go to his funeral. "He was married three times, and deserted his first two wives; he deserted the third now—who, by the way, is a mulatto—although not quite in the man er he would have liked. They wired his children in Bucasun County that their father was dead, and didn't get a reply. But his present widow, the one you're going to see, didn't far behind him in the litte matrimonial slen-ures. Do you know how they chose the pall-bearers? With one exception, the towldow deceived her husband. These country people have a grin humor that's exquisite." Alen had "raised anything," he said. They had driven up the muddy lane to the low-roofed, three-room shack. A dark man, the undertaker, directed them to park in the rear of some six or seven cars. Entering the house, they pressed into a crowd of untidy, country women who sat around the tiny room or chairs borrowed for the obsolete while the minister prepared for prayer. The widow, seated on a bench, rested her elbows on an unplanned chair, while the minister himself he fanned on either side by solicitous women. Allen could see through the widow's veil nothing but a crumpled handkerchief that a hand, freed from the voluminous black sleeve, dabbed from time to time on the floor of the sobbing rhythmic with African despair, lost itself in snuffing susurus among the rafters. Allen, remembering the pallbearers, asked Margaret if her grief "Of cause," she whispered back: "it's her Negro blood—the emotion of the moment, you know, whether she's glued the old deaths dead or attracted attention, attracting attention. "Look around you. Allen: half the people in this room have Negro blood, but a stranger would never know it."

Incidentally the main team or first team which is composed of the pick of the best players in the prison usually has a team that beats the state and is always conceded to be the fastest team in Jackson County or Southern Michigan. Within the memory's library the Detroit Tigers played a six-six draw with the prison nine. It was for some time the writer's lot to send to the daily papers at the conclusion of each name a detailed summary along with the official summary. One evening the deputy at the new prison called me to his office and stated definitely that in a concession that with the Jacobs Commission that he had conided in him that he was going to recommend to the Governor that I again be placed on parole.

Why was the Vegetable Kingdom created before the Animal Kingdom? Until plants developed there was nothing for anything else to live on. Even the beginning plants have lived on the lifespan matter of the earth; and in addition to feeding themselves have produced everything except water on which the animal lived. In short, plants have produced food. To get back for growth, even the fleshyating animals are vegetarians, because the lesser animals on which the carnivorous animals subsist are grass and plant eaters—vegetable food in a reared animal.

BEAUTY HINTS BY NINA TEMPLE The Tight Skin Of Youth The time to begin keeping the skin tight in youth, is while we have it; otherwise, it is quite another matter and we must work to restore and redeem it as one would rebuild a typewriter. It is much easier to keep what we have done than to regain something that has been lost. I have noticed young girls on the streetcars dabbing their faces with powder putts, pulling their faces down, down until I could almost scream to them, "stop it! you are criticizing your beautiful face." The face she puttens is pulled down but ever and always up and up. The body sags and the face does the same thing — we want to counteract it. We must tone the face up — use stringing, tighteners. Have you ever noticed the tight little baby face? Life tries to rob The thing to be remembered is this; always tone up the face after cleaning it. otherwise, the skin is with the teeth, peeling and laked. Winter thing is wonderful for the face as there is snow and ice everywhere, enough coldness in it to tighten up the faces of all the women of the world, try it. TREATING CHILDREN WITH COURTESY BY HELEN GREEG GREEN "Hail ye small, small courtesies of life For sweet doe you make the road of it." "Sterne. While Aunt Emmy-Lou and I were calling at Doris's, small Throck trotted in from school. "Good afternoon, Aunt Emmy-Lou. Good afternoon, Mrs. Medill," he nodded, can in hand. "Mother, I think _____ "Don't speak to me, Throck. You greet my guests, but never a little 'good afternoon' for Mother," Doris wined. "But, Mother, I _____" "Run along, Throck. I don't care to be bothered now. Can't you see that I have company?" And in a most impressive way she waved an exit. The child hung his head, and got away as quickly as possible, his small face. "I will command respect and courtesy from my son," Doria declared. And then Aunt Emmy-Lou said, "Oh, Doria, I'm ashamed of you." "Ashamed of me? Why, Aunt Emmy-Lou, what do you mean?" He expected courtesy from children must set examples of courtesy. Courtesy begets courtesy. And you were positively rude to Throck. "But——" Doria hesitated, "he was discounted to me, when he came in (the door)." "Not intentionally so, my dear. He was on intenton to tell you something, he simply forgot. While you were intentionally rude to him, humiliating him before us, he'll not soon forget it." "Oh, Emmy-Lou." Doria answered after a moment's thought. "Do thank you." And wouldn't it be well for us all to remember that if we wish our boys girls to be curious and considerate of others, we ourselves must set the example?

YE YOUNGER FOLK When Philip Fly and Bumble Bee screamed, "Jean Grasshopper is here," poor Jean shook down to the end of his long legs. He was brave, and yellow out of the assembly, "Yes, Jean Grasshopper is here, and here because he belongs here." "Make him prove it," sang Jimmy Mosquito. Mr. Staid Beetle called the meeting to order, "Jean he most solemnly instructed, 'we called this assembly without you because we wanted to discuss your case.'" "Very well, you may," Jean answered boldly, "but here I stay." "Come to the front, sir." Jean hopped out to the end of the twig where he rested in full view of the Winglets. Benny Wing was on staging, you shall hear Bony Wasp we shall now listen to your testimony. Benny Wing circled round three times and finally took a stand, and then Bony Wasp is not a gallant. He pecked fun at a very fine lady and tried to destroy here home. "We shall have to hear more of this," Mr. Beetle said. He was trying to "I mean that Annie Aunt, my cousin, spoke most kindly to Jean Grasshopper about his laziness and advised him to prepare for winter." "Was that any of her business?" asked Jean silently. asked Jean Suttenly. "No interruptions, please," announced Mr. Beetle. "After this kind lady had thus advised him," continued Benny, "Jean told her that she was a horrible insect, crawling on the tiny short legs. He haughted loudly and so slowly as she moved her house was well stored for winter and that he had better not come begging in cold weather. This made Jean angry and he shrieked. Is that so?" He took a backpack and until prior Annie's mound was flat to the ground." Benny Wasp concluded his speech and circled round four times with satisfaction. "It this so, sir?" Mr. Beetle questioned. Jean said not a word and tried to appear indifferent, but he could feel his sides against his wings. Mr. Beetle turned to the assembly hall, where the testimony of Benny Wasp which the silence of Jean only strengthens. What do you wish to do about it?" Bumble Bee, who was also one of Annie Ant's cousins, spoke up. "If you permit Jean to enter any meeting in Wingland until he apologizes to Annie." The Winglets buzzed their approval. "Now Jean, what have you to ans- "Only that Annie Ant is a middle- some old lady and I meant everything that I said to her. I will not apologize either," Jean's voice rose to a shriek. "I am sorry," Mr. Beetle said regretfully, "that you feel that way; but if you fall to do this you are barred from Wingland." "Ah! so you bit me a four winged creature for a horrible crawling insect." With these words Jean hopped away, but he was not as bold as he had made believe. Way down under his wings was a sinking feeling. He did long to go back and tell them he would apologize, but no—that would not do. There in the grass all alone, he thought of his disgrace. He loved Wingland and the Winglets, and to be thus barred was a sad thing for Jean. So well was he hidden in the fall grass that Gusle Grasshopper, his sister had nearly passed before she distinguished his long green legs from the blades of grass. "What are you doing hiding here in an anecdote?" "I am disgraced," Jean barted out. "The Winglets have barred me from the assembly, all on account of my quarrel with that hateful Annie Ant." "They surely wouldn't treat any member of our family like I?" "Well, they did and I can't return." "Well, they did not I cess, return until I am grateful to that insert." "Don't you think of apologizing. We shall inform all our family of what they have done to you and the Winglets made you happy." Gruss made queer crackling sounds with wings. The more she thought, the nugler she became. "Do you mean that we shall make an owl man and great respect for his older sister?" Gruss said, and the knack of getting what she wanted. "Yes, it's been seventeen years since the great Grasshopper family was scaled out, but it can be done again. You will be able to see the owl man and the tussle will give the alarm. Away she hopped, leaving Jean quite behindered at her great scheme. And so it was that the great family came to see the owl man and the tussle that they covered the mound and made the run for miles around dark. They hopped here, they hopped there. The Winglets had to desert their meeting place. All the Arts deserted their Grasshopper had the land." The poor foolish creatures in man's kingdom knew nothing of Jean's injury. They knew only that grasshopper crops and driving all insects before them. Poor men!—They held up their hands in horror and shrieked. "The seventeen year locusts!" Little did they realize how hard they were Grasshopper's way of making the Worms receive him in the assembly once more. Need it be added?—the scheme worked. If sleep is mislabeled as has been suggested, the present rising generation will scarcely notice the innovation.

Now that the Saint Patrick party is over and the dishes washed up, I hear you asking, "Who was Saint Patrick?" Do we celebrate his anniversary? Saint Patrick is possibly the greatest Christian missionary that Ireland has ever known. As far as we can usenewed years after Christ in a village near the Irish Channel. When only sixteen years old, he was captured and held on barge. After six years of slavery, he came to France. From there he roamed from place to place, always urged on by strange visions. Finally, he settled in the bishop there. After much desolation by the bishop there, after murder during fourteen years, he returned to Ireland where he was consecrated bishop's mission was to convert the jungle, sought God in the wind and raid people trees and stones. In this work, he succeeded admirably. Churches were founded by him in many parts of Ireland. Numerous stories are told about Saint Patrick. Some claim that he drove the snakes from Ireland, and brought the unusual custom of wearing the shinrock is based on the story which relates how he used this simple plant God-head.

The newly elected pastor comes to Fulton with a complete staff of officers, and a good membership, and an aptitude to work under his leadership, who was the successful candidate over the Rev. R. C. Williams. The Rev. Francis Story, who came to us as a stranger, was never a candidate before the church, because he was a former priest. Mr. Story and his Followers have occupied a church at Schroeder and Pierce streets. There has been no split at Fulton and up to this time only seven members have asked for their letters, and the church was founded by the late Rev. Samuel Ward, who pastored successfully until his death. Then the late Rev. M. D. Willis, was called from Washington. Dr. Willis was a high school teacher and pulpit curator. He dbl splendid career with his health failed. His wife, Mrs. Nursey Willis now holds suit against the church, not for back salary, but for a promise to aid the Rev. Willis on his own home on Whitelock street. The church is holding its own at present and the newly elected pastor will be installed Sunday. April 3rd.

FITZGERALD MAY WITHDRAW FROM RACE Former Councilman Says He Does Not Want To Stand In Way Of Success DR. JAMES A. WHITE QUITS BADGER CAMP Candidate Says He Refused To Hand Over $2,000 Check For Support William L. Fitzgerald may withdraw from the councilmanic primary fight, he told a reporter for the Afro-American, this week. When asked his definite reasons for considering withdrawing, the former councilman stated that he did not want to allow his children ambition to stand in the court of the best interests of the citizens of the When rumors of the possibility of his withdrawal reached a number of his friends, many of them besieged his office, eager to stay in the office. While I have not made up my mind, Mr. Fitzgerald when asked, "I am giving the matter careful consideration and will take some definite action within the next few days." White In Hall Camp Dr. James A. White, aldermanic candidate, has definitely aligned with Hall faction in the 17th Ward, he told a reporter for the White AMERICAN. Thursday, White candidacy was first sponsored by the Badger and Richardson element in the 17th Ward, and he asked why he had broken with the Badger combination, he stated that he found it impossible to agree to hand over to them a check for $2,000, and asked in return for his support. He no stated that there were other important elements in the 17th Ward that would not work with the Badger group. He has therefore, definitely, aligned himself with the Charlie faction. I. Howard Payne was endorsed for counselman at a meeting of the Ushers' Association of Baltimore this week. This organization, which comprises ushers from the various churches, is also aligned with the national organization of the same type. Walter Emerson is still in the fight and is going strong, accord- ing. Warner T. McGuinn stated that he is completely satisfied with the progress his campaign is making, and that there are no changes in his plans. New Candidate It is rumored in the 17th Ward that the Badge faction will bring out a new candidate. This group, which first intimated that they will support Dr. White, seems to be now without a candidate, and some move in this direction is expected to be made within the next few days.

Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul, stated Wednesday Dr. Lyon expressed an opinion that many newspapers which published articles on the Liberian executive's inaugural message advocating a national church, had misinterpreted the speech and misinformation. The message and an exclusive interview were first given to the APRO-AMERICAN. "The idem of the president was not to exclude foreign missionary aid," the Consul said, "but to encourage and empower the spirit in the ecclesiastical bodies. It is hard for a people 8,000 miles away to elect and direct officials and workers for a church." When questioned about emigration to Liberia, Dr. Lyon stated that all recent emigration was been processed. One dentist, a chirurgist and a lawyer were among those who sailed last week. "The greatest demand is not for laborers, mechanics or professional men," the Consul said, "but for farmers who are able and ready to invest in the agricultural development upfront that Liberia's future largely depends." Dr. Lyon stated that the great mistake of most of Liberia's immigrants is that they attempt to live without the background which life without the background which the Liberians have naturally developed.

White arms yearning and crimson lips, the sail at morning that swerves and dips.

In His Old Home Town Randolph Tucker, who a year ago or so was a sensation with the junior basketball tossers and physique of one of the best basketsleaders in Baltimore, who was killed by a friend during the time of the former's death, and played a week with the Hampton Seasideers. Tucker, like Jerome Wood, of the Howard University Tossers, was anxious to get into the game, and home folks he had lost none of his early skill as a net tosser. Late in the second session Coach Jillian Sullivan shehred and you should have seen the little fellow holding "Big Tom" Wheatley of the Morgan Bears at bay, with the boy was fast.

Townsend however, does not see it that way and a colored manager by next week. Football Rules Change Drastic changes in football have been made by the Football Rules Committee, following a two-day session. The outstanding points of the conference resulted in the retention of the "shift play" and the "goal-line" rules, in kicking for field goals or points after touchdown it now measures 120 yards. For years much objection has been raised to the rule allowing point-after-touchdown kick. To curb this, the officials decided to move the posts back. This will also return field-goal-kick rules to better playing team a chance to score a victory. Of late many colleges have players who specialize in such matters, and are获悉 from the toe of some promising booster more so than from the combined efforts of the eleventh. The "shift play", which was successfully used last year calls Says White Youth Used Dagger On Boy Who Went To Room To Serve Papers Charles, McConnally, whitee, University of Maryland Student is being held for ten days pending the outcome of wounds inflicted Miles Smith, 123 Madison Avenue, a newsboy when he was stabbed in the room of the former at S.E. Center street Monday. He claims that Smith came to his room and attempted to sell papers when they refused he refused to leave the room and an argument started. Smith and was taught to drunk and during the suffle that resulted in his attempt to eject him, McConnally says that he stabbed the boy. He used for murder cutting is being held by the police. Man Is Badly Shot At Conwingo Dance BEL AIR, MD—Authorities are securing this section to apprehend Henry Johnson, who on Tuesday night seriously wounded a woman who was knocked when she refused to give him money at the Jews' dance hall, here. Jack Townsend U. Of M. Student Held --- Papers --- --- for a full second stop before the backfield goes into motion. Fifteen-yards, penalty will be meted out if the referee decides a full second's stop has not been taken. The action on the "shift play" retains all its strategic advantages, while also giving officials dehine more important actions. Another important change is that of fumbled points being called dead at the point of recovery. However, this ruling does not cover fumbles on kickoff, kick from fair catch or a kick following a safety. The field-goal proposition is most worthy. It will certainly eliminate a number of those scant yards that have been unattuned ten yards to sometimes scores. And the shift—if all of the college teams, used it, football would be more speculative, more tricky than it is today. HUDDLE SYSTEM To speed up the game the committee reduced from four to three players, and the team then may take in either half without penalty and put a limit on the "hudle" which the Howard Bison used to perfect the season. The team then tends to end in putting the inlay in after it is ready for play or a team in a "hudle" in a "hudle" may be considered prima racle evidence of intentional delay of the game. A five yard rule for any intentional delay. Let Ben Alone Frank Hawkins, a Black Sox fan, says he will take an even bet on the ability of "Babe Ruth" Wilson to catch a pitch. Frank is one of the fans who does not want to "Babe Ruth" leave the Sox. He says: Remember, Backward day, and Roll the ball around him. If we keep on we will soon see the Sox in Harrisburg and the Giants in Baltimore. Frank would lose his bet. These official statistics show that Charleston led Wilson in batting by 24 and was 30 points ahead of him in 1923. As a fielder, both leagues, the Eastern and National admit that Charleston is the best hitter. Monego said to say he is the premier outfielder in baseball white or black. Ben Taylor is busy building a baseball team. He ought to have the full encouragement of the fans. A team of stars will lose every day in the week to a team willing to work together and willing to have from a manager who knows baseball. The Black Sox owners brought Ben Taylor here and gave him a chance to pick out themselves. Under these circumstances they couldn't hold Ben responsible if he failed to bring a nennant to Baltimore. He has been given wider latitude. He has been permitted to trade a number of players whom he felt wouldn't cooperate with him for other players who worked in other words, the Black Sox this year will be Ben Taylor's team. I'm thinking he would be willing to pick his reputation on the show, to pitch it to the team. If the team this year fails to make good, fans have a right to criticize Ben. In the meantime fans ought to pick club owners, to bring championship baseball clubs to Baltimore. If you can't boost, don't knock. That is, not now, wait until the chance the season. Give Ben a chance. Quaker City Elks Plan Big Ball PHILADELPHIA — The Quaker City Lodge, No. 729, assisted by the Lodge's initial ball and reception on Easter Monday night, April 18.

ALL PRICES 一 AS HOME RUN KING League's History Manager Ben Taylor of the Sox said today he was going to give David Simpson, Howard University four letter man, and a member of the Athens now, a try out this season. The Chicago boy is noted in collegiate baseball as a home-run "king". The Baltimore Black Sox will soon be batting the pill out at Westport Park, and the locals will be on their fifth year as a member of the Eastern League. Last season the boys got away to an early leaf, and went like a house afire for several weeks, then came management, training rules broken and every other little jinx that follows a baseball team. This season, Manager Taylor will have almost a new team, willing to work and anxious to compete and Late hours, cabareting, wild women and thatsounds of other little petty things will not keep a baseball player in trim, then, when the team does not play winning, ball the fans bellow, for a new manager. If they don't win this season they will cop the pennant because they will have material. "Heavy" Johnson "Heavy" Johnson who was released outright by the Sox last season is doing his bit at a dairy company, and found playing here with the America Sugar Refining Company, and his ability to swat the ball out of his own hands. He got him, and then he passed to Harrisburg for a season, then back to the locals. It is not known who he is, but he is a holder of bison with this spring. Jackson Coming Richard Jackson, who was trained to the Sox last season for "Connie Day, second baseman has set up a new righthanders' Club and will report to the locals this Spring. The Giants are said to have owed Jackson some money to Baltimore until this matter was settled. The infielder is a good batter and a crack ground cover. He makes, plays look easy while Day is on the side, and the Sox have Stellar Outfield. If Oscar Charleston reports, the Sox will have the best outfield in the Eastern League. He is on the side, Johnson, right, "horn-run" Charleston in center. On the reserve list is "Al Singer, newcomer from the Lince Giants," and Carolina State college s. Lindsay new third baseman, who came along with Singer from the Lincoln Giants, and manager Tex Taylor, said both he would report for Spring training. Fans Won't Miss Rolo Julio Rojo, now the property of the Lincoln Gains, will not be missed by local fans. "All Singer and Lindsay, who came there in the trade for Rojo are both good men. The former hit for 302 last season, and the latter, 277. Rojo's average season is 264. We have percentages for a regular infielder. Many of the fans have said that the New Yorkers got the best of the deal, but they didn't. Eltham is the new men is as good as Rojo. Lindsay can bat, and Singer is one of the best utility men in the circuit and in Lindsay, draws up from the Richmond. Va. Giants in 1920, while Singer made his debut in New York.

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder I wish for everybody the greatest happiness and success, and may the world be all the better for our having lived in it. I am reminded of an Irishman's best wishes for his friends. He said, "May you all live until you knock your brains out on the gold knobs of your own doors. And then may you be in heaven three weeks before the devil knows you're there." Penn State Wins The Lincoln University debating team which won from Oxford here recently lost to Penn State debating team at Union Baptist Church Philadelphia last week before 1500 persons. The subject in both debates was the modification of the 18th Amendment. In the Oxford debate, Lincoln argued the negative and won. Against Penn State, Lincoln argued the affirmative and lost. The debate may prove that public sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of the dry amendment as it stands, or that Lincoln is better at debating the affirmative of the question or that Penn State is better than Oxford. None of these conjectures is as significant as the fact that Penn State has been so impressed by the example of this Oxford debating team that it has been the first institution to stretch its hands across the color line and ask for a debate with a sister college of color. At the present time we cannot think of a better way to banish snubbery and Ku Klux fallacies from college halls. Primary Victory One of the most important, if not the most momentous decisions handed down by the United States Supreme Court in the last fifty years and the opening wedge in the change of political content of the solid South, is the United States Supreme Court interpretation that the right to vote applies to primaries as well as general elections. While crafty politicians of the Southland may resort to other methods to deprive colored men and women of their constitutional right to the ballot and temporarily halt the mandate of the country's highest tribunal, the principle has been elevated to the surface, and it will show now to be up to race voters to see to it that we benefit by this far reaching decision. The first benefits will come, no doubt, in the effect the decision will have in widening the political horizon of the group of voters in the South. It is not improbable that there are some liberal minded white men in even Texas who might welcome a chance to help wipe out some of the lines which have tended to keep hide bound white Democrats and hide bound colored Republicans apart in matters of local political concern. It is also probable that there will be many broad minded race and women who have come to the cross-roads where they refuse to worship everything Republican and damn everything Democratic. To all of these the recent Supreme Court decision will offer a wonderful opportunity to serve the interests of good American government. The Court has added an added reason to take a more practical attitude towards the Negro vote. Votes, like American Dollars, often crash across the color line and where there are intense hatreds and prejudices in the South. The Negro vote is a ship's ship. Once the Negro can establish himself as a voting factor in local Southern affairs there will be some changes made in the attitude, of those in office, for as Killings would say, the "Judy O'Grady" of the Southern mother's Lady of the North are sisters under the skin, in politics at least. But interpretation of laws only paves the way for great human movements, and even the most liberal minded men and women of the country will not be inclined to attempt to make the political horse think after he has been taken to the job of lobbying politics as a practical means of self-government. It doesn't matter whether we vote in a Democratic primary or a Republican primary, if we get or even approach the things we want. The things of vital importance to our private privilege is closed and that we take advantage of this court decision.

(The Baltimore Evening Sun) Yesterday saw the arrest of ten adults in a car that had been arrested, added to the four arre- sted the preceding Sunday, brings the score to a total of fourteen. But no lynchers are as yet been ap- pointed. How many golfers will have be arrested in order to divert people attention from the fact that the golfers have been arrested, only the future can decide. But the Governor of South Carolina is resi- mate. He is determined to continue attention from the fact that the golfers have been arrested to his course long enough, perhaps he will eventually distract attention from the fact that the golfers have been arrested. But perhaps he will do nothing of the kind. Perhaps every additional golfer arrested will simply be arrested in South Carolina it appears to be much safer to murder Negroes than to play golf on Sunday. That, how- ever, is not much good. It would tend to persuade tourists who have not developed a taste for the outdoor sport to enjoy golf that they had better not go the North Carolina line.

It has sold a half million piano copies and a million and a half phonograph records. There is something undelishable but real, in Cheating The Public The (II.) Plain Dealer No section of this country is immune from the growing germ of prejudice and race hatred. This most contagious disease, South Africa has been disseminated throughout the whole United States. Even the West, with its broad vision of freedom and liberty, has been stricken with this malarkey. Maryland, Oregon, has become infected and a poor little Negro boy was denied access to a skating rink only because of his color. He had to suffer the exertion of the skating rink or be pressed off the rink in the presence of his classmates. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. These same classmates became indignant at this treatment of their school superintendent, who was the skating rink at the praise and approval of the anger of the rink expressed his "sorrow" at the occurrence, but stated that as the rink was for the general public" he had to abide by reg Negros no longer help to make up the "general public." This is certainly a new phase of the Negro problem. POEM A WEEK I FOUND IT SO Is love worth all the grieving That they who love must bear? The doubting and believing. The gladness and despair? When love comes laughing, sorrow Is never far away, And tears will fall tomorrow From eyes that glow today. Is love worth all the brooding. The jealousy and doubt? When love begins intruding Contentment hurries out. Love breedeth hard conditions. And levies heavy toll; When love is dark, suspicions Assail and tear the soul. Is love worth all the sighing. The waiting and the fears. The wreckage it leaves lying Along the passing years? Where love has promised pleasure And glittering success. Mistrust may learn to measure The depths of bitterness. Is love, with its attractions And ecstasies and thrills. Worth all its hard exactions And all its money illis? Is love worth all the getting. That follows where it knocks. The fighting and forgetting?— It is, you bet your socks! The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly DAYBY DAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES Do You Use Down in a little side street of Baltimore this week an irate husband came home in a jealous rage and when the disturbance was over emergency officers had hurried his wife seriously wounded to the hospital and the husband to jail. "What was the trouble?" inquired a reporter, to which submerged neighbors replied, "O Jim—went down to where John worked and spilled some poison gas and he came up here and raised the drill." The wife may die, hospital attendants say, and if she does a man faces a long prison term, just because some women and men told rumors or what the neighbor "called" "spilled poison gas." Polison gas gas came into active use during the war when European nations armed themselves with weapon to annihilate each other. But men and women with serpent's tongues have southerned them, rumors have ruined rumors, half true instinctions and morsels of gossip since time immemorial. All the wars since the world began have not sown half as much death and desolation over the land as the polison gas of lies and character smashing ruins. It courts of the land could tract half the ciris of domes, and the other half of many, many an innocent looking young miss or tongue wagging mischief, and wails for their part taking indecent lives by passing on cruel scandal which broke hearts, careers and lives of happiness. Like A Thief In The Night Men in battle will tell you that they did not mind going over the top of trenches in the very jaws of fire and decimating machine guns half so much as poison gas. It always came like a thief in the night, giving so much a chance, and decimating machine guns out of that internal fibres. The poison gas of "dame rumor" of whispered scandal when professional groups gathered, the density of this man or that when men gather; of immoral boasting of female conquests when professional groups gather; of the glow of young manhood which they do not understand, trying to raise themselves in the eyes of some poor unsuspecting young woman, all this poison gas is many times, more destructive than shot and stabbed in a South Carolina cemetery there is a little mound under which she a young woman cut down in the very bloody of life, the white haired mother dropped a few tears every now and then on that grave with the secrets of what she was doing always at her heart strings. It was a story of poison gas, a careless sentence taken up by old hags in church pews, insinuating gossip in socalled welfare clubs and holier than those human shrimps from whose nests puffs brood as they smile into your face. They plunged the stilletto of enuendo into her heart with a more cruel touch, as cold steel through her breast: for they robbed her of the man she loved; of the home she might have made and the word of children she might have given it. When ever you are tempted to listen to unsubstantiated rumor, whenever at bungalows or murts of trade, you hear bombs of poison gas exploding, lift your hand in protest as you would protect an innocent from the spring of a skilful hymn. Little Carolyn Littlejohn, living in Vincent street, is just three years old, but she has learned how to divide a nickel or dime into quarters, and it last all day in candy or cakes. Little Carolyn learned this from her short life of experiences in disappointments, cries and pouts; but many men and women much more experienced, including cries, disappointments and sorrows, have not learned as much about life as this little three-year-old. At 21 years old and healthy enough, she has 50 years of valuable life before him or her. They would not actually exchange one of those years for a cool million dollars, yet very few make any definite plans to how they spend these units of valuable years. Here is a formula we gave a young man who will graduate from college. He will graduate this year at the age of 25. Five years of intense practice and study during which he should be taught the basic skills and during which he has sacrificed social and personal pleasures, followed by ten years of intense saving, at the end of which he should be counted as success. THE MAN HAS NOT MADE A SUCCESS IN HIS CALLING TO THE MAN WHO HAVE THE COURAGE TO START LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN AND IF NECESSARY GO INTO SOME NEW CAREER. The young man has made a success at 48 he should give the next ten years of his life to either research, or some humanitarian work, or him to his fifteenth year — a time when every man should be able to slacken strenuous activities and enjoy without anxiety the fruits of success.

I have just read your last appeal and I am hastening to send you a letter of congratulations to see that some one sends a dollar each week from now until commencement.

McAden, Prep '11 College, '16 Buffalo, N. Y. America and England Two Thieves Loved With Loot, Cannot Yell For Police. The materialism of a government controlled by money, and the moral poverty of our poorer people, has our better exposed our recent relations to the little country called Nicaragua; there is almost no crime even though the government has stepped into the quarrel among citizens of a weaker country, and any big bully, in favor of the party that it wants to win. —and this party is confessively and professionally non-progressive, non-liberal party of us. By this action Young Americans are to be impressed that anything is all right to the only one we have and yet we pretend to marvel at the growth of domestic crime—burglary, highway robbery, and the plundering of property impounded to guard them. The great government itself is setting the example as the chief criminal when it considers one of the most dangerous crimes in dealing with a worker nation. What difference between such an act by a nation and the act of a well-armed burglar in jobs and jobs and another inhabitant? Another thing; it weakens the moral position of a government to be itself guilty of America's crimes to play rush-mouth on the doings of England in China because America is doing just as has, a deed in Central America. Britain has done the same, and America must keep quiet on Shanghai. Two thieves loaded with boot cannot yell for the police, one against the other.

That is we need somebody here to teach us "how to talk rumble." The title is: Any pupils (prenomers) could talk in the Auditorium during their respective lunch groups will have to come back and say from the classroom. The pupils of that school have named it the Douglass Pentitentiary. Those failing to report will be sent home for further instruction. The term is called a cell and each teacher is a guard. The *D* department heads are wardens. The principal is the final judge. The principal will be the Davis boy's principal. We suppose the next rule will be not move your mouth when you eat. As it stands now pupils are not allowed to talk during the day unless we get chance when the guards are not looking. In one of the rooms the pupils decided to execute the school's notorious acts. They wrote on the board: The Douglas Jail House Special ward No. The Douglas Penitentiary no. Donna All Rules. Donna All Rules. Just as they were finished the guard and judge Hawkins jumped on the board and saw the writing but left it to the Guard who commanded the boards be erased and told the prisoner what would fail, the pupils in that subject for a month. We, the prisoners ask the public to sympathize with us in such a jail. Sincerely, A. Prisoner. Howard Dentist In White Plains N. J.

I fail to see the benefit of the welfare society, which will let children at that age roam the streets. What about school? If ever there was a case for the welfare workers, the children would not be able. Do we need more and better welfare workers? Of course, not. We need more old men to visit the children. We need more parents to just their babies roam the streets. We need more partiality.

Firestones Make Business Pick Up In Liberia Says President of Bishop Brook's School—Americans Without Funds Advised To Shun West Africa To the Editor: So many are writing to ascertain all about the Firestone invasion of Liberia that it seems best to give wholesale answer. Well the $5,000,000 loan, and the million acre lease have been ratified by unanimous vote of the national legislature and that point is settled for ninety-nine years. All the conditions of the loan are not given to the public, but it is understood that the $5,000,000 loan absorbs a previous loan of $1,700,000 and that the General Recreationship in vogue at present, con- The million acre lease includes about two thousand acres of rubber and the company is already gathering and shipping rubber, while clearing up more land in which trees will be planted. Then you think of clearing up nearly a million acres of bush land and planting in trees and cultivating the produce, you get an idea of the millions of dollars this company is to spend in this country for years to come, without immediate return. Also a harbor is to be put in. That is a thing for which the company is important. Another important feature of the agreement is the construction of good roads. Until recently there were no roads in the country. The produce of the farms is carried on the heads of the natives often hundreds of miles to being it to march. It is said that one hundred million dollars will be spent by the Firestones in development of their plant and who will get that money. Well a wise provision in the agreement limits the number of foreigners the company is allowed to leave to workman. That leaves the bulk of the labor to be done by the Liberians and natives. Many Liberians are being employed already as clerks like and more and more will be taken in as the work progresses. All this means money put in circulation in Liberia. The American Negro wants to know if it is time for him to come over here. The answer is emphatically no, unless he has plenty of money with which to go to farming, or into business. He can employ a native laborer. Native labor is too cheap and plentiful. We would have you know that the American Embassy is no small employer.

He attacked most masterfully the disgusting bigyot of William Jennings Bryan in the celestial religious freedom. His genius made a mere toy out of the man who posed for him, and who could see no inharmony in Christ's sacred teachings, Florida's murmurings seas, her rustling tropical leaves, and her mournful cries of anguish. Even more than these, he has stood the supreme test—defense of the defenseless Black, defiance of the most complete and industrial African American's Color Trust. At Detroit, Detroit of imperishable memory, he crowned his glorious career. He spoke not to jury, to a petition to the state with hate seeking to save her from herself. His country was about to lynch the last right remaining to man, the right of domination, and to peace with his family in his castle the right of society to Live.

NERVEUS SUITOR (WHO WAS OF ASKING HIS LADY LOVE TO MARRY HIM) ; "W-W-WOULD BE HIM" ; "BWILD WITH WY PEOPLE?" The Week's Best Story BY WILLIAM PICKENS By Ralph M.....hews It naturally follows that in a short while we will have to carry a couple of bichloride of mercury tablets around with us all the time to keep people from thinking we are headlines. You will have to go out and shoot yourself to prove you are civilized. Caucasians kill themselves more than any other race but it is hard to live with Negro than a dead Caucasian. Folks who kill themselves for many reasons; for instance a guy jumps over board because a girl wouldn't marry him and if she married him she only have mugged him to death, so it doesn't make much difference. It's a wonderful thing. "It's better to give than to receive," said the young ering wife as she dropped arsenic in the coffee of around who threatened to shoot her. Suicide clubs are becoming popular in colleges; they are made up of students who are disgusted because they can't afford to buy a nucroon cost. If life wasn't worth living they wouldn't have given us three score and ten years to do. If it's a chuck and if folks get tired of living that short while eternity will probably bore them to death. Then it's mighty embarrassing to shoot at yourself and miss. If this sort of thing keeps up we will have to start a sharp-shooters school for would-be suicides. It would be mighty tough to ery time you wanted to take your life you would have to pay somebody else to do it. Jumping over board is a nice way to commit suicide is in the name you are liable to catch your death of cold. It would be might tough to jump into their liver and find that you couldn't swim. And there is no fun in starting out of windows since they started making pavements out of cement. Bachelor's commit suicide because they might commit suicide because they have too darn much *painy* Actors and poets kill themselves more than people in any other profession. This has the beauty of an arrangement of the public at large. HETTY HOWLES: "What ought to be the range of a soprano voice like mine? Blunt Professor: "Well, personally, I'd prefer it at long range."

As we drift along with the throng Kelly Miller Says John E. Milholland was our friend. He was not a practical politician, who never lets principle stand in the way of success, but he kept the faith. We honor ourselves by honoring his memory. By showing our appreciation of the man who stood upright and downstraight for the application of the constitution and the law of all American citizens, we show the world that we are worthy of the priceless boon of American citizenship. A committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-treasurer of Howe University to place busses of Mr. Mithiland in the Library of Howard University, the office of Crisis, and the University of Chicago, as may be interested in preserving the memory of this present day champion of the weak, and also fighting the battle of humanity. The career of John E. Mitholland is significant in the history of Negro liberation. He was a pioneer in the guage of battle took up the guage of battle where the elders left off. Born in 1860, he was too young to participate in Reconstruction. When he came on the stage of action the old fires fanned into fury by the issues of the time, including the searing embers. One strong hold after another had been surrendered to the forces of reaction. The civil rights statutes had been abolished, the local governments of the South had been turned over to Bourbon control; Southern constitutions were being made liable for divesting the Negro of his guaranteed political and civil rights; the rise of the economic gospel had caused moral issues which had previously dominated national politics. Young Millibullhon gained his political tuteage under the Stuart wars of his day and generation. He understood the importance of political boss in the history of Republican politics. He became editorial writer on the New York Tribune which published articles for human freedom and the rights of man. He was capable and nobly endowed. Talented, brilliant, of facile perusal and touch with the best political and cultural backing. There was no position within the gift of the people to reach. He might have been governor of New York, the stepping stone of higher political ambition. But he refused to pay the taxes to the Baud of political apostasy. He stubbornly refused to shift the emphasis of his philosophy from moral issues to politically alone. He Point out, if you can, the young men of this day with his opportunism finchingly to the grand old traditions of the Grand Old Party. Blaine had blazed the way. The men of the party must no longer stress the rights of men, but the safeguarding of money. The very elect were carved out of the new doctrine. But it was not so with Millibail. His was a voice crying in the wilderness, the highway of political righteousness." Advocated Cutting Southern Representation My first acquaintance with him was in the middle of the first decades of the twentieth century, when he attended Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. Most especially did he advocate cutting down Southern whites' men's means of bringing the Bourbons to their political senses. He led this propaganda to the great disgrace of cutting politicians and blacks. Personally, I never did believe in the efficacy of reducing representation. I did not then and do so until I met the sense of technical conformity to the requirements of the Constitution. I had prepared an acceptance statement that policy on the grounds which at that time seemed to me sufficient. But out of deference to the Constitution, my Milleholland and those closest to him in this case, I agreed that I would withhold, presenting my views on the Constitution, which they aimed. So that I desisted from my endeavor under understanding with the Hon. Archibald Gripping, the secretary of shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Milholland in behalf of curtailing, although I thought then, as feel now, that the scheme was impracticable and unprofitable. Mr. Mithiland not only sacrificed his political ambition by espousing the cause of the Negro, but his material fortune as a businessman and his access for *lending* the mail he came involved in the vortex of politics. His espousal of the cause of the lowly certainly did influence his influential support in high places. Now since he has sacrificed so much for us, we can at least show our appreciation by revering his memory. This leads me to say, that after watching the political game for many years, I am fully convinced that the Negro has lost out and not stood his friend who advised his cause in face of political adversity and defeat. The cratty politician is too prone to desert the friend who might have served him great stead in time of past need. Senator John Sherman, in the good old days, stood by the Negro's cause through thick and thin. But when he became a lifelong supporter of the presidential nomination, the Southern delegates deserted him for Gen. Alger, who it was said furnished the more abundant and alluring political pamubum. The great Ohio senator turned away grief, if not despair, by the affection of the black man's friendship and the fathality of beffrending him. If any public man, in the latter part of the nineteenth century ever spoused the cause of political equality for the Negro it was Speaker Reed of the late Billy Byrd of his great influence, he pushed for electoral bills through the House of Representatives. The Memorial To John Milholland Political Tutelage Under Stalwarts Sacrificed Political Ambition Cross Of Political Constancy Saturday, Mar. 12. * purpose of his bill was to protect the Negro in the right of the suffrage, guaranteed him by the constitution. On the other hand congress man McKillie of Obio, had taken up the early issue as the basis of the suffrage, professed no respectful friendship for the cause of political quality of the rights of the black man under the Negro. But they were rival candidates for the presidential nomination, the more attractive coffers of the Negroes to the Negroes to desert freed and flock to the standard of McKinley. Cuney of Texas stands and flocked to the cross of political constancy. The righted minded race ought to glorify that cross upon which the crafty politicians deserted their real friend for the material cause of the great projections they justify their reward. The Noblest Roman Of Them All I still further recall how Senator Foraker, the noblest Roman of then, all, staked his political power to the defense of the race against the persecution policy of Roosevelt of condemning the Brownsville soldiers without trial. When the dutifully young governor of his attitude, allowed his name to be used for the presidential nomination, the Negro delegates were corralled by his powerful sacrifice of the great defender. I distinctly remember, that one of the swallows of the old gaudier Potter can best be the presidential nomination, that he had reversed the doctrine of his life, and was going to give his life to the people, and had the best chance for success. He had shouted Foraker and Koehler, and he had course, but but not alone withstand so great a political temptation. His reason was entirely frank. He declared that he was a wagoner, because he was hungry and that this was his last call for dinner. He got his dinner and that this was his verily, verily he had his reward. Left Roosevelt I need not remind the reader how the Negro Southern delegates defeated the nomination of Roosevelt in 1922, when despite new political movement he promised to recover for the race much of the power and prestige which it had under Taft, for the newly advanced their elimination from official consideration. It is due to instances of this type that the race has lost every chance to win. It is the public life. What is the use, the reason to themselves, to expose their cause and sacrifice for their welfare, when the testing time comes, they will always be found indent entionment. Today there is not a man in either house of Congress who will stand" in his place in the bails of legislation and adduce full justified rights of the race. Any statesman who would now be in office would be in office. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments would be considered beside himself. Politics in the midsthip has brought us to a point where we will continue to apply principle we will continue to reaffirm to present helpless public position. Milholland War Our Friend The inference is obvious. John E. Milhalland was our friend. He was unsuccessful as the politician who was worthy politician. He brought to fruition none of the reforms which he advocated. He was not a practical politician, but a worthy politician in the way of success, but he kept the faith. Verily, verily, he has his reward, which is infinitely greater than that of the thrifty politician bent on the spoils of office. We honor ourselves by honoring his memory. By showing our appreciation of the man who succeeded us and our right for the application of the Constitution and the law to all American citizenship.

Church in a recent speech on Race Relations before white preachers. The speech has caused such a stir that there is a widespread feeling that the church's statement should be made by the citizens. Detroit has never been so stirred about any issue, and has never been so united in a feeling of resentment and condemnation directed against one of its citizens. Under the pressure of the Detroit Free Press (whit paper) quoted the Bishop as follows: "They (the Negroes) are undoubtedly here to stay and one solution to some of the problems is an Area where suitable homes are built that would satisfy the educated and well-to-do, as well as the class." Many who were present quoted the Bishop as further saying that his attitude toward Jim-crowism and separate schools was the same as that on housing; that he I was not opposed to Jim-crowism in the Jim-crow cars provided that he welcomed separate schools with the proper facilities; and that he did not seek social equality. SEASIDE PASTOR BISHOP MURRAY BACKS OFF TO WEST INTERRACE REPORT ATLANTIC CITY — A testimonial was given the Rev. and Mrs. Silas W. Brister on Tuesday evening at the Duvoe Memorial Presbyterian Church. Rev. Brister who has been pastor of Jethro for the past five years with Mrs. Brister and family, has given their new home at Denver, Colorado. Mrs. Jacob M. Lamkin was the mistress of ceremonies. Short addresses were delivered by W. Hibbins Smith, T. Montgomery Green, former pastor. Rev. William H. Griffin, Rev. Albert Alken and Mrs. Gertrude Clark. Dr. Samuel A. Williamson, Mrs. Burney, Mr. A. Williamson, Lamkin, and Mrs. D. Willis' remarks foll-owed the general line of the others in speech. Sermon Points Condensed from the weekly serv. mon of the Rev. Dr. Henry Huch Proctor, pastor Nazarene Congre gational Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. 1. Jesus washed the feet of Judas, and have the ideal for the treatment of enemies. 2. Peter was weak; Judas was wild. 3. The attitude of Jesus to Judas was that of confidential trust, lov- ing service and unfailing patience. 4. Jesus was that of cynical criticism, base treachery and implacable hostility. 5. The experience of Jesus with Judas teaches us the futility o. ap- peal. 6. There is just one way to treat a hypocrite, and that is cut him dead, as did Peter. 7. Jesus knew a confirmed hypocrite to be changed? 8. Judas was chosen because of his possibilities. 9. Every man's life is a plan of God, and man does not follow that plan. 10. Dante assigns Judas the lowest place in hell. Beware of hypocrisy! New Congregation Holds First Service "True Way of Life," was the subject of a sermon preached by the pastor, the Rev. R. C. Williams, at the opening services of the New Independent Church, on last Sunday. A congregation of about twenty people showed their emotion deeply by shouting and singing. Rev. Williams came from Bicheno, his wife and mother, and says he was guided by the hand of God to come here and buy this church. I have no intention of going around and cavassing for people from Bicheno. My trust is in my God, and with the good will of the people, there is no reason why we can not build our church. The authorities first granted $100,000 for the property, but considered and sold it to him for $19,500. Evangelist In Georgia SAVANNAH, GA. — The Rev. Hawthorne Jeltz, well-known A. M.

Albert Johson told a huge audience at Payne A. M. E. Church, Sunday morning. The speaker chose the earnestness of Paul and the terrible price which he paid for his faith as the subject of his discourse in the Roman dungeons in which the apostle was imprisoned, the bishop told of his own visit of the scene in Italy a few years ago. Prejudice of race and religious forms and customs were heavily scored in the sermon. Bishop John Johson, the religion of many Christians is forgot before they leave the church. The great need, he said, is for a working faith which is in operation 24 hours a day and seven days a week. He said he would hand off of amens from his hourers when he humorously described the religious attitude of some persons when their ambitions and desires are opposed. Yes, I am bearing my cross, the infant of a woman, relating hindrances to his plans". The main auditorium, balcony and the vestibule of the church were filled by the congregation. The altar was decorated with fresh cut flowers which were afterwards filled with flowers. All communion was administered at the evening service.

WEEKLY SERMON THE HOUSE OF GOD By J. M. VANDER MEULEN, Louisville, Kentucky How lovely are they übernacles, O Lord of Hosts, Psalms 84:1. Thousands of years have passed since the Psalmist uttered this great upwelling sentiment. There have been centuries of change and the appeals to human interests have grown immensely in number and variety. But it is still true, as in the days of the Psalmist, that men love the worship of God and for them willing to make great sacrifices for it, of time, energy and love. There is not much in, all the world that can compare with the continuity and significance of the fact that men in this modern age can sing with the same lyrics as the ancient day, "How lovely are they übernacles, O Lord of Hosts." So I want to stop and ask with you the basis for this enduring sentiment. Why are the tabernacles of God so lovely? I find the most superior of the best. The first is because of their great superiority; the second is because of their high fellowship; the third is because of their supreme Presence. First of all, the Pastist, sees the superiority of the tabernacles of God over the resorts of the ungodly world. His expression of that is a beautiful one: "I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to dwell in the nests of wickedness." Now I would become a much more subtle and refined thing since then. The temptations that come to men today are not so much to choose evil, as to choose that which is evil chiefly because it is not well or indiscriminately call golf or baseball or motion pictures on the Sabbath, "wickedness." They merely prevent men from realizing their highest possibilities. With the havo, they have wrought it is tremendous. There is many and many an otherwise one man today who has sold his soul not to Bacchus, but to Pan. He carries about it as he has carried about his spiritual corpse. And a corpse, even in a polished coffin, is still an ugly thing. The most pathetic thing about it is that he is not even himself as precious as he is not as diagnosed by the fact that he no longer knows what Bethel A.M.E. Church Bethel A.M.E.

Esther Thompson, a member SERMON these words of the Psalmist mean, "How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of Hosts." He is incapable of that note. He may still be able to eat, but not sitting. O huddes of Hollywood. He may still be able to say with fervor. How refreshing are thy two-somes and thy foursomes, O Lords of the Gift Links. But he is dead to this sentiment of the Psalmist. The Lord God is no jeopardy. The Lord God is to him merely an el. trie light and a mid-iron. Now it can scarcely be denied, by even a modern worldling, that when the sense of worship has been sacrificed to even the best he can be saved, he can place of amusement whatever, something higher in him has been sacrificed to something lower. The desire for amusement or even the concern for the body can scarcely be compared to the sense of duty or gratitude or reverence that man goes to the House of God. The scene of adventure or over-lord romance which is presented to him at the motion picture show or the winning of a prize, may be rated as an object of thought or sentiment with the Gospel. So much, I think the absentee from the House of Worship. If, I indeed, he has not already lost, in sense, of value, he would seem, then, that, if he is honest, he can scarcely escape the conclusion that he is less of a man when he can no longer say with the Psalmist: "How lively may they abbrectes, O Lord of Hosts." why, as over against all these countless attractions and distractions of this age and in a day when all the old external compulsions, even that of respectability, are gone, do so many manly things, still at least quietly. Why, save for the *sep abiding instinct and sentiment voiced in my text*? Somewhere in the upper ranges of the *summit of what makes a man lie the chords of reverence and worship, and obedience and faith that obliterate in response to the worship of God* are not reached in places of amusement, in the laboratory, the art gallery, or the library. The man that is conscious of them at all is conscious also, that they are the finest strings in the harp of his soul. And though these strings are with a sense of the superiority of the others that he shing: "How lovely are the tibernacles, O Lord of Hosts."

Weber PITTSBURGH, PA.—The organiza- tion American labor movement is downed to failure and disintegration unless the Negro is freely taken into its ranks. So declared Scott Nearing, leading labor economist, in Labor Legacy High, Feb. Saturday night in response to a question put to him by the correspondent of this newspaper. The question was, what relation the Negro has to the general labor program in United States?" Mr. Nearing lectured to a group of people who are interested in what is known as the negro labor movement, with the possibilities of revolt with the possibilities of revolt on the part of the proletariat of China and the Far East. Following the feature a number of questions were answered, including the omitted one. It was Mr. Nearing's opinion that white labor would gradually be eliminated from industries in which the Negro would perform the same job as white labor unions which refuse membership to the race would thus find their prestige gone and their ranks torn to pieces. During the course of his career he both in reference to the question both in reference to the Negro and foreigner is stressed too much. Race differences are too magnified he said, claiming that this was due to the fact that American capital is more imaginative than international understanding between races. Capital desired this he said, because it was afraid different races would otherwise learn to understand and sympathize with the Negro and capital interests would thus be lessened because racial understanding would naturally result in a stronger union of labor interests.

THRIFT 7 CENTS PI All Flat Pi WEARING APPAREL DRUID L 1634 Druid Hill Ave. GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter Edna Gee, 1425 Anthony street, alarmed the neighborhood I a t a c Thursday night as she ran out into the street in her house screaming murder. Two policeman who inquired about the trouble were told that her husband, Clawley Gee, had shot at her and chased her out of the house. Gee was found at home when the police arrived and he was placed under arrest. "It was just like this your honor," said Gee, when he was called upon to explain. I went out for a little while, and when I was calling on another girl and started a rumpus. I came out and went home quietly and when we got home the argument started all over again. Before I knew what had happened, I was calling. That's all I know about it. Then you don't remember shooting at your wife and chasing her out?" asked the Migratee. "Then $10 and costs will refresh your memory," said His Honor. Howard Williams, 1829 McCubbish street, is a new type of bootlegger. He holds people up with a gun and makes them buy his boots on Saturday night, night one of his prospective customers took his gun away from him and then had him arrested. According to testimony in the Northwestern Satellite Albert Hopson, 1823 W. Stricker street, was standing at the corner of Lauresn and Perrish streets, when two men approached him with a hand bag. The smaller of the pair who happened to be Wee Whee stopped off of a ship and had a couple of quarts of the real stuff. When Hopson declared that he did not care for any stimulant, Walker started an argument, and then puffed up his stuff. He declared, Hopson, during the suffle, took the gun, ran to a drug store and called the police. After a three block chase Williams was nabbed and was later charged $500 costs for carrying concealed weapons. "James Blaney," said the Magistrate in the Northwestern Police Station. "I see by my desk that you are charged with carrying you into the office when the officer heard you fire a shot and then arrested you with the revolver on your person." "Now, Your Honor," said Blaney. "If you will just give me time I will be able to explain that whole situation." "You don't deny that you had the gun, do you?" asked the Magistrate. "No sir. Your Honor, 'but it was just like this: I was in my house at 7:60 Matherbury street, when I heard a shot out back and I saw I was shooting and I found a gun lying on the ground. Just as I picked it up the policeman came and placed me under arrest." MARRIAGES MISTER: DIXON-Win. F., 26, 1320 Madison Ave. Glivin. 27. MILLS: GONE-Andrew. 23, 300 Ed. mopomon Acl.

Back in June, 1924, action was begun in the Court of Common Pleas, in Philadelphia, against the Citizens' and Southern Bank and Trust Company for criminal and the rule was granted by Judge Charles E. Bartlett, to show cause why the prayers for release should not be granted. The AFRO published the proceedings of this suit, whereupon the Citizens' and Southern Bank and Trust Company, feeling itself managed by the Court of this publication, entered suit in the Superior Court of Baltimore City for that amount. Jury. Impanelled Subsequently in Baltimore a jury was impanelled to try the case on its merits. Warner T. McGulim, counsel for the APKO, objected to some questions asked R. R. Sr. a witness on the stand, and was susisted. A controversy arose on the ruling of the court. The case was halted and the judge called the respective counts to the bar. Barr represented the Philadelphia bankers. They discussed some features of the bankers' declaration. He advised an amendment to the plaintiffs' pleadings. This action resulted with a juror being withdrawn and the case being continued. Amped Declaration By leave of the court, the trust company filed an amended declaration. To this Mr. McGulfin again denounced and was saddened by the loss of the company in June, 1925. The philipth banking company was given leave to amend in 15 days. The judgment For AFRO The philipths however declined to amend the judgment was entered for the AFRO.

Accompanying her is Mrs. Robinson, who is but 17 years of age, she returned to Baltimore a short while ago from Wilmington, where she is living with her husband and his uncle, George Holland.

Yet, the "Avenue" which is commonly termed a shopping place for such artless necessities as meat, bread and cut rate clothing, has many of men who wrought beautifully. From Franklin to Mosher street, we find the shops along the "Avenue." They are not spick and span places, but dingy and dusty second hand stores, and the places have an oil painting but there are pieces moulded in metal and clay. Tarnished statuettes of the proud legions of the Caesars lie in a jumble of odd books, hearth irons and fire tongs. A wonderfully wrought candlestick, with a floral design, an emblem and a budding rose, stands as an example of the brass worker's art. One little store exhibits a Gothic soldier of a century before Christ done in dull bronze. A locksmith's shop has a ten inch figure of an English cavalier moulded of German silver with a sword in brass, and besides it is a Mrs. Girtha Wingate, of No. 2004 Madison Avenue, prominent housewife of this city, offers her approval of Bond Bread.
