HOWARD, DEAR OLD HOWARD By Alumus At the overflow meeting of the N. A. A. C. P., the other night in Washington, Mr. Darrow told the colored people of America to win respect by first striving for independence, to try to be tippers rather than recipients of tips, and to try to support their won enterprises. He declared that they had more white friends than perhaps they had reason to pose. He stressed that they must contain what they stood ready to help the colored people if they helped themselves. His sentiments were received with echoing abuse. This was to be expected. Colored people have never been unresponsive to the homely philosophies of life. They have always been conversant with the basic principles of racial survival and respect, but they have a most unfortunate view of "A correlating failure with prompt action. Their "entente" are loud, but their serious feeble. Emotions have their functions to perform, but they do not translate themselves automatically into action. It takes a real will to execute the promptings of even the strongest emotions. Mr. Darrow, thereafter, had the vast host with his hilft as emotional response was concerned, but when Mr. Darrow was made aware of Mr. Darrow, in terms of dollars, how the colored people were going to support their own cause, the ruthlessism became frost bitten. Begging And Whining Perhaps, the appeal at that particular meeting was unfortunate. Perhaps, the manner of marching an expectant audience to the collection table was more unfortunate, but the significance of the encounter with the escapable Mr. Darrow, his periods and then lapse into the proverbial racial inertia, hardly justified the slender optimism which Mr. Darrow ventured. No race has ever secured respect by begging or whining for it. Not even laws bring race respect, though they may mitigate grave graves, but the kind of any kind is won by acts and deeds that win the plaudits of those from whom it is sought. There is no royal road to race recognition and respect. If the Negro is really serious about the situation, which he lamented, he must be willing to assume the serious hurdles that are fundamental to his cause. If about one-twelfth of the Negro population of this country would send yearly just one dollar for the purpose of education, the problem of Negro education would be solved. There is no simpler or surer way of endowing worthy institutions than through the medium of collective contributions of small amounts from the masses. This has been written about the Negro's marvelous progress since slavery. Mr. Darrow made reference to it. Annual statistics show the increase in the Negro's property holdings, in his business enterprises, and in his general welfare. It is customary to enumerate the increasing number of graduates from the various institutions of the land in the gradual progress of the land. The race fails to get the recognition which it seeks. The reason is obvious. Strength In Education The fundamental strength of any race lies in its education, any race that wins respect has to prove its attitude towards its own offspring. The history of America reveals the undisputed fact that the colonies which paid the closest taxation to the colonies of the young impressed themselves the most forcefully upon the pages of American history. However homely the assertion may sound, it is nevertheless true that a race that can buy luxuries of the rich, support styles of the most approved society, and possesses in worldly goods, will never win respect unless it can point proudly to its real investments in institutions that make races.

Your name here is a receipt for one dollar, which has been for- warded to the Treasurer of Howard University. Terrible Indictment The Negroes of America, despite their reputed progress, can not point to one institution of higher learning which their dollars adequately support, especially when the endowment of every Negro university in this country is within the reach of the race. All that is lacking is will. The writer has singled out Howard University for the first test of the experiment in the report. If the experiment succeeds, another worthy institution should receive similar concerted action next year. We should remain on the job until we have placed beyond want our struggling educational institu Simple Proposition The simple proposition is that of sending a check to the AFROAMERICAN, to swell an endowment fund for Howard University. The plan is to have every Negro in America interested in race progress send just ONE DOLAR. This act of giving of every dollar and the donor's name will appear weekly in these columns. On commencement Day, when the first colored president of Howard University is inaugurated, the fund is to be presented. The request is simple, the attractive, by racial co-operation. Howard University can be endowed by colored people. It was intended to be the colored people's great summary term. Colored people are logical supporters of their own university. Surely, the donation of ONE DOLAR is not a burden. The most attractive feature of this appeal is that every dollar donated goes to Howard University. This is made possible by the absence of any ex- Famous Star, Exelento Toilet Aids Nothing adds more to a woman's loveliness than beautiful, silky hair and smooth skin, free from blemishes.

Call Vernon 6016 The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.--South's Biggest and Best Weekly expenses whatever. It is seldom that any financial campaign can make this assertion, for there are usually expenses that have to be deducted. Campaign No Expense The columns of this paper are given free of charge to this weekly appeal. There is not one cent of deduction for postage, traveling expenses, telephone calls, advertising, and the like. It is a wholesome to-the-communities service that is so simple that every Negro in America can become an investor in Howard University. If this movement, with all its advantages, does not comment itself, the colored people, it will be almost futile to face the other race on any proposition to improve the race. No. We could be simpler, less burdensome, and more effective than this ONE DOLLAR campaign, the white people will watch it with interest. A record for or against the race is in the make-up of the University by colored people could not help from winning beneficial respect from the opposite race. It might be a most interesting revelation if we could read many minds diligently turning over reasons why the dollar should not be given. The writer all but bears the "hard times" argument, the "constant giving" argument, and other well coined arguments. At least one hundred reasons for not separating with ONE DOLLAR can possibly found. There is just one reason why any person should respond to this appeal and that is the manifestation of race pride, which is willing to contribute ONE DOLLAR to a cause of tried and approved service to the race. Perpetual Life If such pride is absent, the dollar can not be expected. If it is present, Howard University will be endowed. There should be no bubbling over such a simple matter. The situation Howard University, in its present status, can be closed in the twinkling of an eye. The last article covered this point. The combined dollars of the colored people of America can give Howard University permission to course will the colored people elect? What this campaign needs most is self-appointed committee n to disperse the news. A dentist in New Jersey has written that he is going to secure $100 for the campaign, by asking ninety-nine persons and giving him $100. His name is a wise one. The whole movement is voluntary.

Spencer, Truly Hatchett And Josiah Henry Delivers Addresses SALISBURY, MD.—"Altho I was elected on the Democratic ticket and received little support from the colorful members. I believe that all people should get their just deserts, regardless of race, creed or color, and am in hearty accord with the program of the Inter-racial Committee and believe we are now on the right track to race adjustment", declared the Honorable Percy White. Democratic representative from Wisconsin county in an address at an Eastern Shore wide mass meeting held in the armory at Salisbury, Sunday. Mr. White, who spoke in place of Senator David J. Ward, further stated that while he was in favor of the projects advocated for, he also noted that the colored people must show by their educational and moral growth that they are ready to accept these things. In order to have your neighbor give you your just deserts and the respect you should, you must first respect yourselves. One Big Family In a response, Dr. John O. Spencer, of Morgan College, said that in the same way that no stream can rise higher than those enjoyed by the man lowest degree, he can rise higher than those enjoyed by the man lowest degree taxes on $70,000,000 worth of property in the state of Maryland. $20,000,000 of which is located in the city of Baltimore. In asking for the equalization of teachers' salaries and an appropriation for Morgan College, they are only asking for a fab share as a member of the group. The group will be treated as one of the family is all they are asking, he declared. The laws of the state provide that every teacher in the high school must have a college degree, added Dr. Spencer, but until this day the state had not contributed any stantial sum or provided an institution 'we' this training can be obtained. Truly, I teach, who followed Dr. Spencer on 'he program, in advocating the education of salaries for county teachers said that the teacher, next to the home, played the greatest part in fitting the child for future life and this teacher should be well-equipped, but they could not be expected to spend time and money obtaining a college education and live on the starvation wages paid in many counties.

NEGROACCEPTS INFERIORITY; CALVERTON Forum Speaker Declares Whites Gave Us Religion To Make Race Meek GROUP OWES NOTHING TO REPUBLICAN PARTY New Program Should Be Interracial And Emphasize Economic Problems "The doctrine of the inferiority of the Negro grows out of a desire to believe it, and the Negro in a sheep like manner accepts certain other doctrines that prevent his progress," said V. T. Calverton, white, editor of the Modern Quarterly, at the Open Forum meeting last Sunday, at the new Elks' Home, Madison avenue and McMechen St. White people claim that the Negro is inferior because such doctrine is necessary to keep up the present economic situation, he said, and added, that, very much to the convenience of the whites, the Negro continues to worship the name of Abraham Lincoln, to put his faith in the Republican party, and to accept the white man's religion. "More activity in the economic world, and less faith in Jesus, is what you need. Your religion was given you to make you meek and satisfied with slavery," said Mr. Calverton, "and as long as you cling to it, you will continue to fall behind the economic monster of the day." The songs that you sing, your spirituals, merely reflect this altitude. Mr. Calverton's subject was, "Some of the Contradictions That Surround the Negro." Throughout the address he showed that he possessed a large store of knowledge concern- ing the Negro, and charged us with internal jealousies and class distinctions. One of the myths that we have been led to believe is that the solution of our problems lies in unified race action. Prejudice exists between the rich and the poor of our group as it does between classes of any race. Three Stages. There have been three stages of advancement among us, since the Civil War, the speaker said. They were the poor in the Bois stage, and the present stage, marked by the appearance of the newer group of Negroes, who see that the solution of the problem is inter-racial co-operation. Washington, represented the continuation of slave psychology. Mr. Calverton declared, while Dibois advanced the ideas of unity and defini- The speaker declared, in no uncertain terms, that Abraham Lincoln was not eager to face the slaves as were Garrison and other Abolitionists. He said that the Emancipation Proclamation was political in nature and that the Negroes no gratitude to the Republican party. In beginning his address Mr. Calverton said that he was not connected in any way with the John Hookins University, and that he could not understand that he did not admit coerced men as students, should be used to recommend him to his audience. Music was furnished by a quartet of course boys. They sang two spirituals, which were afterward referred to by the speaker. Mr. Wm. N. Jones, presided. A lovely disheard from the door, followed the address in the room, followed pointed questions were asked? This meeting was the last of the Forum sessions for this season. The Forum Committee, of which Gough D. McDaniel is chairman, has been well pleased with the response and support of the public. The choice of the Open Forum, said the chair of the public education, We feel that the meetings have been of some benefit to the public, and how to make the Forum of next year bigger and better than it was this winter.

The committee decided that the charges were of such a nature that it cannot be ignored and turned the case over to the United States Attorney. After an investigation the United States Attorney advised the Board of Education that criminal prosecution could not be successfully maintained, and along that line could not be justified. After a poll of the members of the Board of Education last Friday afternoon, Mr. Menard was reinstated. The question of pay for the time he was under suspension will probably be referred to the Corporation Council by the Board of Education. The United States Attorney has decision upon the fact that Miss Coleman was not desirous of prosecuting the matter and would be an unwilling witness together with the fact that the statement purporting to have been signed by the Court circumstances as to make it an involuntary statement and therefore not admissible in evidence. He also took into consideration the fact that a period of two years had elapsed between the alleged occurrence and the filing of the complaint. Mr. Menard was represented by Attorney Charles S.

Finances Are Good But Courts Are Bad In The Haitian Republic Children Cry for Saturday, Mar. 26, 1927 Finances FINANCES GOOD COURTS BAD IN HAITI American High Commissioner Praises Borno But Urges Judicial Changes CONTRADICTS SENATOR KING'S CRITICISM Latter Declared Haitian People To Be In State Of Political Servitude BY LOUIS R. LAUTIER WASHINGTON, D.C. During the past year the American treaty officials have been directing their efforts toward increasing the productive wealth of Haiti to the ultimate end of strengthening and improving the general economic condition, Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, American High Commissioner to Haiti, declared in his fifth annual report to the Secretary of State, which was made public by the State Department Monday. In addition, he reported, the Haitian Government and the treaty officials have continued the general governing program for the stabilization of Haitian finances, the maintenance of law and order, the construction of public works, and the improvement of the public health service. A bumper coffee crop in a period of exceptionally high and abnormal prices and the reelection of President Borno contributed to the stability and prosperity of Haiti in 1926. General Russell stated. "Confidence among business men, which, on account of the usual sensational rumors which precede a presidential election in Haiti, had been trembling in the balance, was restored immediately upon the promulgation of the results of the election." General Russell reports. "This fact contributed largely in making the past year the greatest in the history of the Republic from a financial and business point of view." As a result of the visit of President Borno to the United States in last June he returned to Haiti imbued with a stronger desire to further the progress and development of his country and to make it a republic in being as well as in name General Russell states. Judiciary Scorned The Haitian judiciary system is in need of complete renovation. "The courts are, if such could be possible less effective than ever and their inefficiency and incompetence more notorious," General Russell reports "Trials by jury are farcial." There has been no reduction in the United States forces in Haiti. They consist of a skeleton brigade of United States marines and a nine sweeper of 950 tons displacement. Martial law has only been exercised upon the rarest occasions says General Russell. The customs receipts for the past year were unprecedented. The total receipts amounted to $9,072,929.62. Of this amount the sum of $8,118,966.35 was from custom revenues. The actual debt reducing amortization was $1,384,836.90. The required reduction was only $717,218.36. The total public debt amounts to $18,849,000. As a result of the favorable year just closed the Haitian people have been benefited materially, says General Russell. They are better fed, better clothed, and better housed than ever before. The commerce of Haiti during the past year has been most satisfactory. There has been a healthy growth of shipping entering the harbors of the Republic and a gradual increase in traffic across the Dominican border. Educational System The Haitian Government believes that its educational system should be designed to furnish agricultural education to the rural and industrial education to the urban population. He says that the Haitian government states. He says that the Haitian Government considers it not only essential but vital that the Haitian Children C Fletcher's CASTORIA MOTHER:- Fletcher's Castoria is a pleasant, harmless Substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Teething Drops and Soothing Syrups, especially prepared for Infants in To avoid imitations, always look for the Proven directions on each package. Call Vernon 6016 people be taught to use their hands." General Russell also states in his report: "The efforts that have been made and are being made to foster the further increase of production in Haiti will soon show results and with the passing of an appropriate revenue law and the renovation of the Haitian judiciary, the advance toward the stabilization of government will be most marked" "As in past years President Ecuador has cooperated in every way for the carrying out of the provisions of the treaty of 1915, and has made the marked improvement of last year possible." "The treaty officials have consistently, tactfully and energetically carried out their duties and the efficient management of the respective departments under their control has largely contributed to the remarkable progress which is being made in the bringing of happiness and prosperity to the Haitian people." Contradicts, Sen. King Statements in the report of General Russell are contradictory of those made upon the floor of the Senate by Senator William H.King, Democrat, of Utah, who was recently barred by President Borno from visiting Haiti because of derogatory remarks made by the Senator concerning the Haitian president in demanding that the American forces be withdrawn from the island republic. In a speech in the Senate of February 1, last. Senator King declared: "First let it be remembered that by every standard of morality and justice there was no treaty. Our forces were in possession of the country. We had destroyed the legislative branch of the government and taken possession of all governmental agencies of the country. We set up a shadow government. It was not a Haitian government. A few Haitians were put into position, but they were named by Naval officers of the United States and they did the will of those who named them. One of them we called a President, and he was required to sign a treaty prepared by the United States." Senator King described the rejection of President Borno as a faint. This "shadow president," he said, was chosen by members of an assembly which he had appointed. "The Haitian people," he declared, "are in a condition of political servitude." RIDGELY, MD.

Can you imagine such a thing? Well—quite two years ago, a very distinguished physician employed me in the Laboratory of Botany of the University of Oxford and help feed white rats and mice. This Laboratory contained about 150 rats, and about 250 mice. The sole purpose of these animals were for experimentation, to try and discover the cure for cancer. After I had been there about three days, I secretly named this laboratory, "The White Rat and Mice Hospital", and divided each room into wards—such as mating room, observation room, maternity room, cancer room, and operating Have Pedigrees Most of those animals have pedigrees, and some come from all parts of the United States. They are taken care of just like children. We fed them once a day; the meal consisting of water, milk, andbage leaves three times a week, and bits of meat twice a week. The rats and mice are not in the same room, but all are kept in clean cages, with glass vessels for water; white deep saucers, for bread and milk, clean dry shavings for flooring, and sweet hay and grass for feeding. We feed the animals. Everything is sterilized before putting into the cages again. One room a day we houseclean and see that each cage is perfectly dry and clean, no rat or mouse dead, or out of the cages, or any unnecessary offensive odor. The mice are very clean, and the question to try and time them. They make very quickly, and produce litters of from DENTON, MD. DENTON, Md.-At John Wesley M. E. Church, the Rev. J. N.

At the time of motherhood, the rat or mouse, is taken from its mother and is soaked in maternity room. They are watched daily, and kept on hard boiled eggs every other day, and extra portions of their daily meal given them. As soon as the litter is born they are counted and recorded. When they are old enough to take their mother, placed in the observation room, for serum tests, and the mothers taken back to their mates. It is from the young generation that experiment is made, and when results are successful, clinics are cled, lectures given, and humanity benefited. The young cage of about 22 mice, one became frightened and hopped out of the cage down my back. I mean, all I said was, “doctor—get out” (I guess you are reading between the lines). Anyhow we had some chase, but the poor little mouse, when it came on its way to the Great Beyond. The rats and I, stood on very good terms. All I had to do, was to enter the room, and say, good morning, what a chatter of rat language I saw. I was in the door of the cage, out they came—some on my feet, others on my hip, and still others, on my shoulder. No indeed they did not bite. Just as soon as I had the cage in order, food in its place, in the room, and I would go about my business. So after all is said and done, white rats and mice, at least, are not the worse of enemies. By the way, rats and mice, can be human being, and in operating, have found out, the heart of a mouse can beat three minutes after it is dead.

MECHANICSVILLE, MD Page Five KANSAS MOB "REPULSED" IN RACE ATTACK Attempt To Invade Colored Section Fails When Residents Use Guns MARTIAL LAW ORDERED IN COFFEYVILLE Outbreak Followed Attempt To Storm Jail And Take Prisoners COFFEYVILLE, KANSAS —A wild mob of more than 1,000 white men and youths was tamed here Fri. and after an unsuccessful attempt to storm a jail and take two prisoners it invaded the colored section and was pulsed when citizens used guns with more or less deadly effect. The outbreak followed a night of general disorder and rioting after two white girls were alleged to have been attacked by unknown parties. Two suspects, one of which, Curtis Smith was found to have been wholly disconnected with the crime, were connected by the molt bent on a lunch bee. Use Tear Bombs When the crowd of white men and youths gathered about the jail failed to disperse when ordered to do so by officers; tear gas guns were fired into the crowd. Further angered by their unsuccessful attempt to obtain the prisoners, the men made a dash toward the colored section. Here they were met by volleys of shot coming from residents who had determined to protect their homes at all costs and they speedily retreated. William Waddie, white. 17, and a number of others were taken to the hospital with buckshot in their bodies. The mob finding an invasion of the colored section not without its difficulties, turned its attention toward the jail. Several arrests were also made when it was found that a hardware store had been looted of its stock of guns and ammunition. On Saturday, Mayor Elmer Joyce advised the governor to send troops to Coffeyville and martial law was declared. Major E. T. Patterson, white, invoked the curfew law and closed down all business houses, cafes, theatres and other public gathering places at nine o'clock as a precautionary measure. Troops also guarded the city hall in which the jail is looted and Union street where most of the colored business and amusement establishments are looted. Protest Search Numerous complaints were made by race leaders when military officers insisted on searching citizens on downtown streets. The soldiers, it is said, seemed over zealous in taking firearms from colored men and all gatherer men. Each one held that as long as a black man possessed firearms it was dangerous to deprive colored homes of the necessary protection. CALLS HALT ON J. C. SCHOOL TRENTON, N.

In turn I exercised all the powers at my request to promote my interests and the views of my own service. Whether or not my application, I leave for them to In the light of these facts there are more scenes clear and interesting. Only a selfish ambition with at any cost could impel no progressive interest in the cause. It is for this reason that deeply appreciative of the hope that has been conferred on me in the past, and anxious an harmony may be secured in our mind before the primaries. I announce my decision to withdraw as candidate for the Council from the "Permit me," while withdrawing, to thank my many supporters and to assure the voters of the district of my unqualified support of my movement that may secure harmony so that we can rely on the unity of realization of the meaning of the representation that our people should have on this district."

Community House Notes The Club Leaders' Training Course came to a successful close, Tuesday, March 15, quoting by Cromwell, of Morgon in College, who was the speaker of the session. The course was titled "Tired Thieves" to become it later servants of the People. The entire course as considered by those persons taking the course and the Community House, was a decided victory. But those persons who have been volunteering to give their time so needly to the various social agencies, have been benefited tremendously because they are now better prepared to make the most of their time. The public is so often complaining about the ill breeding of children these days and the responsibility of the best possible development of their own child or children.

LANGLY LOSES IN SUIT FOR ALIMONY Bill Asking For Separate Maintenance Is Dismissed By Judge Stanton COULD NOT PROVE CRUELTY CHARGES Allegations Of Non Support Also Break Down; $3,600 Placed At Her Command A decision handed down by Judge Robert F. Stanton in Circuit Court part two brought the suit for permanent alimony filed by Mrs. William H. Langy, against her husband to a close in favor of the latter at a trial in open court, Thursday. Mrs. Langly in her suit did not ask for a decree of separation but alleged that because of her husband's cruelty she was forced to live apart from him and demanded separate and permanent maintenance. She alleged that she poorly contribute to her support and asked that a stipulated amount be paid her in accordance with his financial standing. Several months ago she stated that following the separation the house in which they lived was sold and their two daughters were sent to Washington to live. Claims Unproven At hearing, Lanyang was unable to demonstrate her allegations of cruelty. She related several instances where her son Herbert Lanyang, 21, was abusive and declared that at these times her husband would not take her part, but was unable to show where the husband was ever actually the aggressor. Her claims of non-support were told the court that Mr. Lanyang sold the large share of rentals on three pieces of property and that she had received a large share of the money derived from their home after the sale. This amounted to $3600, which was deposited in her name and subject to her order. Since the filing of the suit, he has paid $200 in alimony at the $20 a week rate set by the court. In dismissing the bill, the court did not provide that counsel fees be paid by Mr. Langly. He was represented by George W. F. McMechen while Mrs. Langly was represented by Max Freeman, white, attorney. In a statement to the AFOR, Mr. Langly declared that he was well pleased with the verdict. It was impossible to interview Mrs. Langly due to the fact that she left for New York for an indefinite stay immediately after the decision was handed down. Mr. Langly has been in the wholesale produce business for 35 years. Baltimore Boy Wins Honors At Harvard Robert T.

She was caught, and the policemen, if she was trusted for bruises and swore out a warrant for the arrest of her caveman husband. A stirring court fight is expected in a court where the demand to give in his wife's property, but will be given a stiff face, if found guilty.

THOUSANDS TAKE 7-11 COLDS, GRIPPE, CHILLS & FEVER Sure Does the Work Can't Be Beat Drugists and Dealers 25c Per Bottle THIS WEEK IN THEATRES DUNBAR "THE THIRD DEGREE" Dolores Costello is starred in this murder mystery melodrama which comes to the Dunbar March 28. The picture tells the story of a wealthy young man who seeks a mate below his social standing. As he takes a circus girl as his bride, a man murdered and the young man accused is accused. He is subjected to a police grilling for 48 hours and forced to confess the crime. He faces the electric chair, and only one person knows who did the killing. That is his young circus bride, and her mother was the killer, and so do? Man options and maternal loyalty are strained to the breaking point in this thriller. Louise Dresser is co-starred. STAR "THE KNOCKOUT KID" Jack Perrin is seen with his old friend Martin Turner, a popular action actor of Universal City, in his action picture which plays March 29 at the Star. In "The Knockout Kid," Jack is seen as a millionaire's son with curiosity and liking for boxing. At the end of one exciting battle in which Jack is victorious, his father denounces him. Gout of without a nuckle Jack and Martin start off for nowhere and anywhere. They have not gone far when they are held up by bandits and robbed of Jack's automobile. Soon after the adventurers are unfortunate enough to be robbed of all their clothing while they are in bathing. The play is a typical Western feature and carries enough action and punch to satisfy thrill seekers. The second episode of "On Guard," the military serial, will be shown March 28. The Star patrons are being entertained this week by one of the largest companies that has been in the house. The "Black Cat Bone" Company is composed of a group of 28 persons and the juveniles are decidedly the drawing attractions. Johnnie Premont and Leon Fields, two youngest and most handsome pupils are investing bounds of well deserved applause. These lads are working as blackfaces but the cork is unnecessary, for the people recognize and appreciate such dancing as they present. The other bright light on the bill is a little girl, Johnnie Mac Berringer, who is a leader amore many of the juveniles who have experience. Several chorus girls and principals can get a tip or two from the little one. Dorothy and Elsie Bongerson, two fast steppers of the chorus put over a little dance and some skit which had its appeal with the Star crowds. These girls along with the other youngsters only need a few years to theothem to theorem on big time. Most of the song numbers show the weakness of the show and there could be some improvements in the comedy. It drags a bit at times and the performance had its little share of swear words. Princelia Berringer is the soubrette and she puts plenty of action into her work, especially in the dancing, but her song numbers fell a little short. The company carries a chorus of seven and a jazz band of six. Penson is director of the orchestra. Josephine Baker's former dancing partner. Joe Alex, is appearing with Georges Carpentier in a sketch, "Match," at the Palace, Paris. Dancers Hold Class DEKI'QE, LA. - Van Small and Harry Hayes, dancers, at the Majestic, gave instructions at the theatre to a class of students each morning during the engagement.

The fascinating Dorothy Gish heads the cast. Nell is a reckless girl of the London slums who earns a living by selling her clothes in the Derry district in the days of King Charles II. Her charms meet the glance of the king as he is going to the theatre and then the great romance begins. The great desire to be an actress, the merry spirit of Charles II, and the opposition of the royalty make the story one of treasuring interest, the glamour hall, big hearted king, clanking swords and brave cavaliers, these are parts of "Nell Gwyn." The Carey will present the picture on March 28. REGENT Think of clear and crystal-like soprano issuing from the throat of a chorio mascine live foot nine gentleman, and then hearing it change to the deep register of the throat that is what he performs. Anderson, who is singing the Regent this week as the special feature actor. Anderson's numbers include. Your Eyes Have Told Me So, and 'O Sole Male'. For tone sustaining and presenting the yodel with such mastery, the singer is receiving the largest audience. He appears in an Argentine dancer's costume and in Tuxedo. The bill is opened with "Gang" and Jacqueline Jines, whose numbers were enthusiastically received. "Gang" is a member of the old school and a former partner of Irvin C. Miller. He is also well known as a theatre columnist on several weeklies in the mid-west. Bailey and Taylor are in a song and an anecdote. These numbers well. With the aid of cork and some nut jokes the team brings out a series of good chuckles. Mack and Barnes, a female team, take the dancing honors of all the acts. Miss Mack is an accomplished tap dancer and was seen here with the last edition of "Brown Skin Models". Miss Mack's dance pose is a real interpretation of the soaked gentleman, but her work suffers from one ill fitting costume. TRADIE in any musical instrument you have as part payment For sheer disregard of personal safety, skill and strength, the Nichias, a Japanese trio, stand alone on the program.

In "The Maiden's Prayer", and his third "Leonora", the Polish master of a hundred years ago, surpasses jazz themes of 1927. Beethoven was very careless in appearance and strong in self-expression. In addition to the jazz motif, the master composed several operas and a number of selections which are unsurpassed for beauty and tender sentimentality. Cleo Mitchell and her gang are at the Royal. That announcement in itself, void of further elaboration, would assure to the regular theatre-goer, a good show with a fast and well trained chorus. Miss Mitchell in surrounding herself with talent has outdone any of her previous efforts and with a galaxy of stars, who can really do something, has produced a rollicking performance that clicks from curtain to curtain. First there is a chorus of pretty girls one of which could do half of what they are doing and be a leading lady on any other show. Cleo gives them plenty of opportunities to display their wares and they appreciate from the enthusiasm and dash they put into their work. "Sugar" is the featured number in which the whole company contributes to the production presented by Donal Van Briquet, a dancing with the girls makes up for his lack of voice. Queen Price and Susie Wroten are clever dancers, the latter appearing a solo dance that was well applauded. Tressie and Edna. team up well but need a little brighter chatter to keep up with the fast pace set in the early part of these how. King Nappy with his dance specialty gave the show a good start and his comedy work throughout was above the average. He was ably assisted by Willie Qglesby. For real comedy, Edna Young squeezed many laughs with her quaint and clever impersonation of the neglected wife who stepped out. The kid has the makings of a wonderful character comedienne. The show carries a jazz band that performs on the stage as they are the personification of pop and energy, one is Henry Coleman, an exceptional dancer, and the other is Herbert Cowens, a drummer, who gets all there is to be gotten out of his set, besides doing a dance which alone would have assured him a place on the bill. Taken all in all, Joe Carmouche and Cleo have a nice show. EMENT BOOKING PANY Revenue, Baltimore, Md.

The play has been one of the most successful and best known of amateur productions. John A. Frazer is the author. The plot is from an old English script called "Jerry, The Tramp", and has the villain who strives for the beautiful girl and a persecuted convict with a thirst for liquor. Howard Cornish has the leading role and is supported by Miss Nellie Henry. James Carr is cast as Blackburn, a black-heatred rascal. Manager Holtkamp has gathered together a score of sterling singers, whose voices blend harmoniously in the concert setting, selected for the tone and quality of their voices, from hundreds of applicants. Holtkamp's "Smartset" Minstrel—justly acclaimed the greatest organization of its kind ever offered the American public—includes some of America's best known minstrels of unsurpassed commedians, sweet-voiced singers and talented musicians. The writer has reference to Vernon Ewings' Jazz Band and Orchestra. Solistists, skillful dancers and scores of "gloomy" destroyers for a program of humor, melody, mirth, happiness and revelry. The players are under the direction of Prof. S. Randolph Edmonds of the English department. Two of Prof. Edmonds plays have been given recently by a dramatic group at Oberlin, O., and a third will be produced by the Morgan club in April. I stood one day by the Gates of Dawn, And scranned the world at my feet, I saw great gardens of the fae, I saw huge houses and sweet, I saw huge ships all laden down With spills of spices and cloth of gold, And pirate hoards and diadems, And precious gems and joys untold. I saw Life's bubbles by one by one, Fame, Fortune, Pride and the Lust to Ride. I glittered in the morning sun All held by a thread to a giant Spoon. The Spood of Life, from which are un- wound The destinies of human life. Then hold it, a curious babel of sound. The eager voice of daily strife. Then whispered one into my ear In a hell-like voice above the strife, And yet so low that none might hear "Too much to be a place in the game of Life." Wil Richie, Fortune, Glory and Pams, Be grow old, live living, aloof when dead. "Tell me," I begged, "what is your name?" "My name is Ambition," my advisor I liked his advice, the words were sweet To my young heart as I stood at the Gate. GENT ment!!

O. B. A. DOPE BY W. R. ARNOLD NASHVILLE—The big sensation of the current season L. B. Holtkump's famous original "Smartest" Minstrels, which played a return engagement at the BJI, last week, was a complete sellout, every seat within the theatre being taken. Those arriving after the curtain went up were forced to stand, as the S. R. O. sign was dug from the place of seclusion, early. The house was padlocked, plumome with a gay gathering of enthusiastic minstrel lovers, all of whom, seemed to find enjoyment in what was prepared for their pleasure. A surprise worth while is the great singing a four dancing "Smartset" Creole beauty chorus who receive their share of high praise. As a whole, the show presented this season, is a marked success from a box-office standpoint. Theatre History 15 Years Age Prof. L. Elbworth Toonney gave a delightful radial at the Plaza Academy.

In presenting Miss Hazel Harrison, of Chicago, foremost pianist of the race, in a joint recital with Mrs. Ethel Hardy Smith, lyric soprano, of Boston, Mass., and Miss Olivia Carter, of Baltimore, dramatic reader, at Sharp St. Men, Church, Tuesday, March 22nd, the Post Office Glee performed an epocalish service. For several years this group of young men has not only worked to build itself up as a musical organization, but has had no small part in devolving music appreciation in Baltimore. All of the artists and the Glee Club presented flawless performances Tuesday night. Mrs. Smith is a native of Boston sonality and beauty of face that are sufficient to attract of themselves. Added to these were a perfect voice controlled, and warmly sympathetic. Even the numbers in foreign languages satisfied because of her ex- And I restless, moved on youthful feet, Faster to go, unwilling to wait. Then another whispered a message to me. A soft new message unto my heart; "Stay a moment tine caer feet. Be not so anxious to depart!" Why do you seek the empty glory of a heartstick, ever changing world? Know where your heart is, where your heart is whose battle flags are furled. Your head will ache, your heart be sad; And you will know the touch of pain, Dance brings Sorrow, and there no Joy I will have. I offer you an humble cot. So solicited from the world's unrest, Where daily joy will be your lot, And Duty done your only test. Where none beoved at your side shall be And taught shall come of Ambition's The little ones about your life Will be the crown and joy of Life. And you will learn the love of mothers, And you will find that it is best To Eve your life in the life of others Than to take a place in the world's heart He ceased speaking, and a spell Of secrety settled around, above. And my Soul whispered: "It is well." So I plained my heart in the hands of BIG SM to the great cost of this pro of film, we will not be able this week.

TIME OF PROGRAM 2 to 5, 5 to 8, 8 to 11 P.M. pressive features and splendid interpretation. Her group of folk songs, among which was "Wade in the Water", by Burleigh, gave a pleasing change to the program of classics with the music which does not appreciate the superb placing and voice control evidenced in the other numbers. Mrs. Smith is an active of Boston and told me that she began singing with Roland Hayes, later going to his teacher. Miss Harrison was a revelation of the possibilities of a pianist. Her absolute mastery of her instrument commanded the respectful admiration and attention of everyone regardless of his knowledge of music. She extracted all of the melody from the Steinway Grand that could possibly be gotten. The marvelous thing about her was that she played all of her numbers from memory. One number alone, consisted of 92. She also gave a new conception of color through tones and four other difficult numbers. It was a performance that I shall never forget. Miss Harrison attributes her excellent work to having had good teachers and every opportunity. She has recently returned from Berlin where, in addition to her German Masters, she was able to get training in Russian music from exiled professors who now live in Berlin. Miss Harrison has always had private teachers. Miss Olivia Carter, dramatic reader, was also a delight to the audience. Product of our own Baltimore schools, her talent is natural and she has had very little technical training as yet. However, her renditions Tuesday night were sufficient to please the most fastidious. She also has a charmingly girlish form and face. These were well brought out in her rendition of Dunbairn's "Little Brown Baby" and "Jump Back Honey Jump Back". Her dramatic number "Varhassius", was also a marvelous offering. The Post Office Glee Club was in its usual fine form, but with their innate and unfailing courtesy, kept themselves in the background rendering only four choruses. They however, were perfect. Mrs. Herndon White, accompanied Mrs. Smith efficiently and pleasingly. Mrs. Alma J. Thewles, strained and careful, ease her control of this large group of young men, as whose accompanist, she is always present. In spite of the lengthy program hardly six of the four hundred, who made up the audience, left before the conclusion of the recital. —Maybelle Robinson Chew.

Beethoven 100th Anniversary According to a statement of Llewellyn Wilson, supervisor of Baltimore school music, the pupils of all the schools are making a strict observance of Beethoven week. In additions to studying his life they are being entertained with Beethoven selections. One of Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata, considered his best, was dedicated to Bridgegower, a Negro contemporary of the master. Bridgegower was the son of an African and a Polish woman.

Clay, the woman author who k. s a strong heart appealed to the readers of the famous and infamous film more than any other of her heroines in the person of Margaret Wilkins, a winnows little Baltimore lass who is the power and the glory of Mea Wilson's "Brown Beauties." Margaret says that it all began when she and sister Daisy were kids three years ago at the Carey Street School, where Mr. Crediti is principal. She was graduated of 16 and has been kissed when she would rather not have been. Well, the theaters were the cause of it all. While the good principal was urging upon the pupils the high school, the big school and later to Morgan College, Margaret and sister Daisy too, had motions of their own. The tender impressible age of the early teens" and that little bonding came" and that the floodlights capped their dreams, and all roads led to New York. The attractive Miss Wilkins did not attend high school and spent a considerable part of her time praying, singing and dancing with her friends. Later engagementships with some of the chorus girls led to some practical instruction in the art of entertainment. The opportunity to get on the stage lists many opportunities into a company controlled into New York. Margaret jumped at the chance and left without even mentioning the fact to Ma and Pa. In relating her experiences in the "white light" city, Margaret said that she was a woman of heart and pain because of a heart transplant who won her love. The would-be husband took her to a cafeater and coaxed the girl into taking a few drinks. After leaving her allege, she in her dew he wore to her sick, dejected and without money. Margaret has played with several shows on T. O. B. A. and other circuits since her stage debut last year. Her greatest ambition is to rise to the position of a premier dancer and charm with her twinkling feet. The two sisters, Margaret and Ann, have taught me how to dance at the church and Sunday school services at Ames with their parents when they are in town. WHitman Sister Takes Baths HOT SPRINGS.

"You see there are so many of our group that believe in the wait and see, or we are doing well enough progress of the Negro not only in the show business, but all walks of life. The sooner we learn to promote our own enterprises the sooner we will gain recognition in the business world. "I remember conversing with a very close friend of mine, white. I wanted to borrow thirty thousand dollars. He finally got it for me and we began talking and the color question arose. He said that I ought not have any trouble in raising any reasonable amount of money as I had always made good my obligations. I told him that there were other good colored men and the trouble with the white there that they should classify us as they have trained them. He answered "You classify yourselves and we will accept you." He was right. We have got to do something for ourselves, and a Half Million Dollar Corporation, producing colored pictures is surely doing something for ourselves. "A Half Million Dollar Corporation with its capital stock fully paid up means that we will have a credit twice that amount if the corporation was producing. Can't you see that this is about the biggest thing we can do as a race? Why not interest yourself enough to boost colored pictures? We have twelve million colored people in the U. S. A. and if one million of them would put in 500 each, the problem would be solved. Surely you are going to do your share, if so why not start now, the time is right and the opportunity awaits you but it will not wait forever. Come on, put your shoulders to the wheel and let's make this colored picture corporation one big gigantic Negro industry. "I claim that the colored picture is a solid investment. I started a colored circuit of theatres, seventen years ago, and tried to get colored men interested but could not, and today there are any number of white men who have golden rich off the colored theatres.

MCGOLLUM'S WEEKLY STAGE REVIEW By OBIE McCOLLUM Creative And Copying One of the greatest tools of the colored producer is that he has a tenacity to copy and reproduce skits and sketches that have already been presented by the whites. In reproduction, these have to be presented of the fact that the whites have, are and will make money with them, so why not they. Yet they give us thought to the way colored auditions will receive these presentations. They fail to see the vast difference in the two audiences. The one of a type that has always been able to look to the higher level of the other is the other, who has always been handicapped. Now Under Direction Of GEO. W.

But step—and consider the choices he made in take place in the past few years, save since 1925, which was one of the greatest and most successful years in the colored theatrical field. The greatest and best theater is this time of a typical Negro presentation was Eddie Hunter's "How Coose." There is plenty of original material and color among the race to produce both films, but the comedy to deepest drama. We have no real cause to copy. We can create and the sooner the better. Too many . . . owes are born over time, and comparatively speaking it is no better than the week before, this week's the same and next to different and so on week after week. The public says, "why say I go to the show?" and different from others all are alike. And nine times out of ten, the public is right. Week after week it review shows that run along the same lines, some doing bits that are so familiar that I could have stayed in mind as long as just as good a writem as I did after seeing the show. One of the greatest reliefs in the newspaper field is the fact that things are or should be constantly changing, giving the journalist a chance in action to get the story to see the same path over and over or trot the same path of dangling with out a let up or change the thing becomes monotonous and boring some.

M. S. Banfield, pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and the Rev. Wm. M. Ivy, a Methodist Evangelist, on the occasion of their debate on the true Sabbath, recently, was filed in City Court by the latter. Friday. According to the bill of complaint filed by the Rev. Ivy, the Rev. Banfield promised him the stipulated amount if he succeeded in proving that the Christian Sabbath was Sunday instead of Saturday, as advocated by the Seventh Day Adventist faith in a debate at Ames M. E Church, on January 7. At the debate which was held in the afternoon, the Rev. Ivy was victorious with 6 votes more than his opponent. The debate was decided by popular vote. The church was packed with adherents of both the Seventh Day and other faiths. The arguments were to be deduced from the Scriptures. While the Rev. Banfield was backed by his whole congregation, the Rev. Ivy was alone, having no church connection or pastorate in the city.

Patton was removed to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the patrol where he was said to have a probable fracture of the skull and was suffering from loss of blood. A search was made for Brown, who was said to have just been dismissed from the City Jail a few days before. He accused Patton of holding some pet tickets which he had given to his girl before being sent to jail. When the man denied having received pet tickets, he seized a hatchet and struck Patton in the head, knocking him to the floor. He dealt the prostrate man a blow with the sharp edge of the weapon. After lying unconscious for some time, Patton made his way to the WHITE YOUTH FINED FOR ATTACK ON BOY U. of M.

They then made him lay down while they dressed the wound after which they carried him home in a Ford. He was then taken out of the ford and thrown into his doorway with the rest of the papers thrown on top of him. He was later taken to the Johns Hopkins Hospital where he remained for two weeks. McAnally and three other University of Maryland students said that Smith came to their apartment and got disorderly and when they asked him to go he refused. They gave as the reason for him being stabbed for refusing to move his hands from behind. They also claim that they thought that he had a gun and was going to shoot.

"I am a hard working man and for years had been run down to such an extent that the least unclem-in weather had forced me to carry a very bad cold and a backing cough. "In fact I had grown so despondent because of the medicines I had actually taken that the weather had forced me that I was ready to give up hope of getting well, when fortunately as if guided by some unseen hand, noticed that the weather had forced LEM-GOD to how highly that product was recommended. I bought a bottle of the fami- nary four doses when my cough stopped. I continued to take this remedy and noticed that I was regaining my strength in health and feeling like my old self again. "I have just finished taking my first bottle and since it all me so much to see that this medicine came to me as if by Magic," and I am telling the reader of benefit to others.

Howard University, and Manager of the National Open Championships and Intercollegiate Track and Field Meet, has announced the renewal of this event for Saturday, May 14th, 1927, beginning at 1:00 p. m. in the new Howard Stadium. Management is, particularly enthusiastic about the prospects of this meet since, for the first time, adequate seating facilities will be available to the public. The sporting public has come to regard this meet as the Spring Classic and has turned out in large numbers to celebrate this occasion. But it has always been a serious handicap to both spectators and of people surging to and fro over the course, and interfering with the contestants. It is expected that the New Howard Stadium will be filled to capacity to witness the performance of the best athletes in the country. The American Collegiate Athletic Association is sponsoring this meet which is destined to be the official meet of the Association.

There will be a special cup award for upper award winners. Each Event Award cup will be awarded the winning open and scholastic relay teams. GANS ONLY MAN TO REGAIN LOST TITLE Even In His Case Suspicion Of Crookedness Surrounds Action In the history of the prize ring there is but one case on record where a champion pugilist was knocked out, and afterward it was knocked out again. This case must be discounted by the practical recent admission that the fight was not strictly on the level. "Joe" Gans champion of the wrestling championship was knocked out by Terry McGowan at Chicago on December 13, 1900. He continued in the ring and regained his title defeating the champion in America until he went down to defeat before Batting Nelson. Pugilistic history however is recurrent to that of James D. Jeffries. In 1907 "Job Pflizhmons" the heavyweight championship be defeating James J. Corbett. Two years later he was knocked out by the tattooed trunk fight with some minor victories before meeting defries a second time, but his first defeat seemed to take all the flies out of his face.

"Bizz" Mackey, Hilldale backstopper, is through as far as the Eastern League is concerned if the report is true that he joined Lonnie Goodwin's Coast League barnstormers on a tour of the Oriental. For the next five weeks he may be anywhere, as anytime, with any club. Oscar Charleston just by the nick of a hair escaped the same fate that has befallen Mackey. Posey wanted him to chase flies with the Homestead Grays, but a bit of persuasion by friends soon eradicated the "jumping" Mackey, with Dixon, the latter, one of the best batters in the Eastern League and a member of the Harrisburg Giants, Duncan and Cooper of the Western League, have set out on a journey which will result in a sorry episode. But when he returns will be nothing for them to do but keep on barnstorming. These four men will be greatly lost in baseball because the Hilldale club will have to set out now in search of a good catcher. Harrisburg will be weakened at bat and in the outfield, as Dixon was without a doubt one of the best outfielders in either league. Duncan performed at Kansas City behind the bat, and like Mackie is there in good catcher gear. There is no doubt in it, but what the many players in both leagues will see the grave mistake the four men are making, a. remain loyal at all times to their club, and to the league. Will Simms Won Laurels In Famous Kentucky Derby Late Jockey Drove Ben Bush To Three Great Victories in 1896 The Annual Kentucky Derby is just a little over a month away and less than three weeks ago. William Simms, jockey, who rode Ben Brush to victory in that notable sweepstake in 1896, was buried at Asbury Park, N. J., a victim of pneumonia. Simms was 47 years old when he died. Few race fans in this section know or have ever heard of Simms, or even the Murphy, who was proclaimed the champion jockey back in the eighties. Simms began his career on the turf in 1892 and was a notable character until 1900. It was in 1893 that Simms won the Kentucky Derby with Ben Brush. In the same year, he copied the Latina Derby and the Brighton Handicap with the same horse. PICKING THE WINNER By Walter L.

Do you know Murphy's record was a bit more scintillating than the above rider. He took the Kentucky Derby once, the American Derby four times and the Latona Handicap five times. Lester Walton writes in the New York World. Simms, who enjoyed a highly successful career in the saddle from 1822 to 1900, was born forty-seven years ago in Warren County, Ga., and was taken to Augusta by his mother when a lad. The late Isham Welborn, an uncle, conducted a lively stable and Will's admission by his ability to ride the most fractional steeds in the establishment. "He first left Augusta as a stable boy for George Cunningham, a wealthy white liverman of that city. He was not long before Simms attracted the attention of Mike Miskin and yet not out of hisoes" was the favorite jockey of the Dower, stable. "When Simms went to England to ride for the Dick Croker stables he failed to meet with his usual pronounced success. Returning to America, he finally gave up riding and became an athlete in his heyday he bought a home for his mother which was one of the show places of Augusta. When the noted jockey died he was living with his widowed mother, Mrs. Ida Pleasant in Asbury Park. He never married." **Simms Record** Brighton Handicap at Brighton Beach—1897. Ben Brush; 1898.

Football is demoralizing said the late President Elliot Harvard, in the AFCO back in 1965. The game of football has become seriously injurious to rational academics, the players, and the lesser objections to the game are its extreme publicity, the large proportion of injuries among the absorption of the team but not the two months and the disproportionate exalation of the football hero in the college world. The carrying into elaborate and highly artificial practice the enfeebled but not the no team can do its best except in the presence of hosts of applauding fields is still another lesson evils of football. Worse parental attitudes in college engender life can hardly be imagined. The orator, advocate, preacher, surgeon, engineer, banker, tradesman, craftsman, or statesman who cannot do his sympathetic work is a synthetic crowd is distinctly a second class man. None of these things, however, enters into the main objective to the game for the u in objective lies against its As developed in this country, it has become a game in which the action of the enemy is invaded, not only from the mass of spectators on the benches, but from the nearer observers on the battlefield, but the chief who gets as near as possible to the combatants. The game is played under established and recognized rules, but uniform enforcer rules and rules of violation of the rules are in many respects highly profitable toward victory. These rules are profitable and even necessary in the consummate savage caled war, in which the immobile object of the enemy is as possible. To surprise, ambushade, and deceive the enemy and invade to overwhelm a smaller force by a method of war. The game of football today has increased in popularity so within the last ten years that it is the expected method of sport. It is a game that is helping to mould the character of college men and at the same time inspiring students to higher institution of learning.

Von Laurels Kentucky Derby In Bush To Three Great In 1896 PICKING THE WINNER By Walter L. Roeves, Jr. "Give me a tip," seems to be the slogan of the many persons who play the races daily, who her they win them, and who their they win will soon find the horses getting under way at Bowie and Pimlico. Some will come from the track daily with a neat little purse, others will come back broke and so it goes with the races. You can never beat them. The primary issues in playing the horse races are how many winners you can pick? Do you beat the races? How do you go about picking out the winner? You, who play this game, must always beat them? Do you know of any one who has been able to retire on the money won by playing the races? There is but one way to beat the races and that is not to play them. For the thousands who will turn to Bowie and Pimlico next month, this little rule is playing winner, you cannot. Do not play the horse by name or by what some friend tells you. Make an examination of the animal's past performance and its breeding. Next note its class: Second, weather conditions, condition of the track and distance of the race; Third, study its present training condition. Fourth, study its past position probable jockey, past betting, the owner and trainer involved. Ala. Win Opener MONTGOMERY, ALA..

BISHOP COMPANY 1425 Penna. Ave. Balto, Md. - Edwards 111 Want Bouts WASHINGTON HI TAKES W. VA. STATE TOURNEY CHARLESTON, W. VA.—Washington High of London, W. Va., defeated Kimball High of Kimball state basket ball championship held at West Virginia College Institute. Washington won four straight games. They defeated Summer, 38-18; Genoa, 25-12; Lincoln, 30-22; Kimbail, 30-20; and 29-24. Kimbail winner of last year's game fought desperately to retain her title, but the fast passing, close guarding and accurate shooting of the Calloway coached machine forced them to defeat. The final game of the tournament was a thriller from stars to finish. The crowd which supported the Gyn was kept quiet by the proxies of the dribbling, ploveting and passing of the teams. The two teams were never more than two points apart. The score of the first half was 11-11. Saunders, Capt. and star of the Washington team, was out in the third quarter but returned to the game in a few minutes. Coach Calloway stressed teamwork, therefore, the team had no outstanding stars. C. Sanders dribbed well and many times brought the ball down the field passed to Ray, R. under the basket who Kimball fought hard and went down fighting. Saddler and Mitchell were the outstanding players on their team. The officiating was excellent, much credit was due to "Cum" Posey, of Pittsburgh, Keene, former Howard athlete of Fisk, and Springs of Wilberforce for the manner in which they handled the games. The tournament was the most successful held in the history of this school. The athletic and student committees handled the additional five hundred people well. The one bad feature is the fact that the Institute Gym was not large enough to accommodate the crowd, and many people were left on the outside unable to see the game. Kelley Miller, Garnett Gary, Genoa, and Sumner and Lincoln played a superior brand of basketball. Some of the outstanding players of the games were: Oneal of Kelly Miller; Kenny of Lincoln; Powell of Garnett; Mayo of Genoa; Hill of Sumner; Willis of Simmons; Glover of Donlass.

A., Second and Christian streets. Hill was knocked out in the fourth round of his fight with Jack Gross, of Salem, N. J., when he received a hard blow which sent him to the mat. As the Wilmington heavyweight went down his head struck the mat with a resounding crash and he failed to respond to the usual restorative treatment. There was no interruption to the show, for few realized that the fighter had been seriously injured, so the final bout was put on. Hill was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital where he died an hour later without leg injuries. The officials connected with the show were placed under arrest. Dr. Abe Barton, physician for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission, testified he examined both fighters at noon and found Hill to be in good condition. He also Charles C. Gallagher, a member of the Commission declared that the ring was in proper condition. Frank McCracken, the referee, testified the fight was clean, with Hill having it set up to the time of the fatal blow.

Then Carpenter got the ball on an intercepted pass and sank the ball into the net to even the quint 2 all. Simpson regretted two consecutive field goals, and the Greeks were ahead for the second time. Four straight singles by Scrumpy Brown helped the locus out to a 23 to 12 loss, the first half ended. Butter started the second half off with a pretty field goal from the sideline. The Washington College players were holding fierce, but could not stand off the local attack and the game waned in interest as the final moments assured victory for the Greeks. Frank Trigg, brother of "Kay" Trig, Howard Varsity Tosser, and Cappeler led the Alphas attack, the former senior four goals into the net and the latter three, "Deck" McLean, former Lincoln U, gridiron warrior, held up the forward berth and played a creditable game. In the locals' line-up, Scrapy Brown with seven markers; Simpson, fire, and Keller, who played center in Spears' place, with four led the attack, while Veney and "Feney" Brown, formed St. Barnabas star, played a good name at guard. GERMANTOWN IN HECTIC GAME AMID PROTEST By Lidar T. Reuzau GERMANY TOWN, M. PARCHE — Poor sportsmanship on the part of two coaches, and a howling mob of some, the hardened spectators contributed one of the most bctic basketball exhibitions seen around these parts for a long while, when the Demonstrant Girl Tossers beat the Germantown "W" to 18 to 17, for the Inter-sy Championship, Friday. Both girl outfits were exceptionally good, possessing uncanny ability to dribble, pass and shoot. But unfortunately, during the first half, a referee was used who, frankly speaking, did not know his work. Mythical fouls were called time and again in favor of the Quaker City outfit, with the result that the first half of the debacle ended 10-7, in favor of the "W". At the outset of the second period, it is alleged the referee was accused of betting for the "Y" team, upon which he was removed, and a white fan who had accompanied the Dunnore aggregation was given the job. The tables were immediately overturned, foul and more fouls were called in favor of the white outfit, until finally the game was tied. Amid a bedlam of protests between both coaches, and much argument on the part of both factions, another foul was called, and Miss Czarkel of the white team made good, putting the game on ice as hostilities ended. 18 to 17.

What promised in the first half to be a close game, developed into a rout in the second half and Bordentown scored almost at will. The game started off slowly, with both teams cautious and fearful of the strength of each other. Close guarding prevailed, until Spruel broke theice for the schoolboys by dropping the ball through the cords on a free foul throw. Murphy followed for Student Council by whisking a pretty double-decker from the fifteen foot line, and the battle was on. Murphy, who formerly played on the Orange High School, led the attack for the Newark rings, leading points in the first half which ended, 11-10, in favor of Bordentown. In the second half, Hamilton, diminutive forward of the Manual Training School, found his shooting eye and run off a swift succession of five field goals. McCann of Bordentown went out of the game in the third quarter by the personal foul route. The preliminary game, the Iron-sided Five, Bordentown girls' student team, defeated Newark council girls by a 12-2 score, in a one sided game.

Time and again Jones, Brown, Hill and Clark were knocked out floor wide. Whether it was good or bad, the ability to withstand the opposing attack. Game On The Bears were the first to score in the opening minutes and carried a 6 to 0 until near the midfield, where they half field. The latter became the locals outstanding star, sank one then two field goals, into the backend and the game was a tie. The Bears made two looking made a double driebold and stepped up floor. Then the referee blew his whistle as the big guard sent the ball sailing thus the oval for a field goal and it counted. From this juncture on the Renaissance Bears led the Bears 14 to 8 at half time. Sheffy Stars It took a second half substitution to elucchin the honors on the visitors' side by completion, and fast as a streak of lightning by way of speaking, is the one who unloaded some of the most spectacular playing of the evening. The team has this trove of which were impossible shots on a sure bet. Lanky Jones was most of the game-preparing, but he finally cut loose as he hoisted his trove of another luminary, whose bright performance cannot be represented by the mere two baskets he got. "Tactic" Brown handed one goal and a couple of shots to the relatively small ratio shown on the score sheet. Morgan's team showed something that has been seen in the past, continually breaking in passes and blocking shots they hold the count down to the relatively small ratio shown on the score sheet. Morgan's team displayed the better disciplined mechanics. Passing accurately and with snap, and shooting as of old from a distance (entertaining Thurlow Maynard) to another team, bringing up another boom in their potency, which by now needs room for expansion. PONTEAU K, O.'S HARRY WILLS Waterloo! Waterloo! When Young Harry Wills, the pride of the local lightweight puillistes, fell before the terrific onlaughter of Ben Ponteau, Chester, battler and former member of the Olympic team, at the New Albert Auditorium. Tuesday night, he was just another high-touted ringman who met his Waterloo. The fatal blow came near the end of the third round. Wills had gone down for a count of eight, then 30 seconds after he was back on his feet. Ponteau sent a terrific right to his chin, and the boy wheeled around like a top and flatted out on the floor. He was gone, gone! Ponteau had the better of the first round, taking things somewhat easy, seeking an opening. Near the close of the frame, Ponteau clouted Wills on the mouth and nose with a right swing. In the second round Wills barred Ponteau with a short riot to the face. This evidently kicked the Pennsylvanian because he came back in the third stanza and knocked the local boy cold. In the semi-windup match, Kid Crowford won the judges' decision over K. O. Dillard in a six-round match. Dillard carried the fight throughout but was unable to hit Crawford at close range. Ours Johnson knocked Kid Crowford in the second round in the opening preliminary bout. In the second match Young Sam Langford and Battling Wong fought a four-round draw. Seattle Kid refereed the bouts while "Bill" Lewis. Black Sox announcer, introduced the fighters Tuesday night's show was the first of a series to be presented from time to time.

SAM LANGFORD, the famous old Boston Tigers player of the 1930s, will be missed all time, never win but one championship, because champions would not fight him. But he claims the distinction of winning his one championship, the heavyweight title in Mexico, while stone blind and unable to see his enemy. Sam : flows that no other man can win any other championship while able to see the man he was fighting. Fred Fulton, the plastered plasterer and the best tanker, or diver, ever sent out of Minneapolis or any other State, was the cause of Langley's first arrest in the left eye ball one night in Boston that the eye never was the same. After that Harry Wilts and other heavy sharpshooters worked on that bumper until Spring 1915. Then, with his left eye gone, which is worse than having the eight eye on the hummer, as Tommy Ryan will tell you, Sam had to fight him and tats the boys got shooting at the right one. Finally they got on the blink, a cataract developed and old Samman was fighting for gin money until he was shot in the head and kept on fighting. he still was punch and his heart always was all right.

Where Is NUTTER OPPOSES FIVE YEAR BAN AS LEAGUE MEETS League Convenes Friday In Quaker City With All Clubs Represented Lloyd Thompson PHILADELPHIA. — Declaring that the ruling enacted by both leagues, banishing a player for a five year period for jumping a contract, too drastic. Ike Nutter, the new leader of the Eastern loop has already intimated that he will come out in a flat footed manner for modifying this rule at the league meeting here Friday. In fact the Atlantic City attorney will insist upon power to reinstate ering players in the Eastern Circuit whom he thinks have been sufficiently punished or their case warrants clemency. This ruling was put over by the converted opinion of resentful owners who felt they had made maximum concessions to ball-takers, who in turn disregarded contracts and gentlemen's agreement and turned into which ever avenue their whims desired, mulching from the coffers of the various clubs' cash tills as they jumped from club to club. However the inception of organized ball alone has downed much to erate tails such as the ones held from the owning club. But president Nutter has brought out the point that the owners as well as the players were responsible for the previous condition, and it is unjust to bar a resentful player from his profession well as deprive league of capable and ering players. Whatever hope that Edd Bolden may have had relative to adding Buck Ewing to the string, his team was not the one accompanying with the ultimatum handed to the Hilldale boss from two points. The case of Buck Ewing is as peculiar as it is lengthy and may be the first important controversy that the Nutter will pass The funny angle of the Ewing case is that the player in question has never worn the uniform of any club in the Eastern League, Jim Keenan secured the signature back over a jacket worn back over a jacket of two years, but refused to report. He, however, was recognized as property of the New York team. Then during the past winter when the Lincoln Giants hopped out on the League, he, who holds fourth in Harrisburg, signed up the same Ewing and done so with a feeling that Ewing was a free agent from a couple of angles. On top of those happenings Ewing has been offered the managing position, he played in Schebethey, N. T., and in turn has accepted some. When Bolden felt that another gaterer must be added to replace Jackie he cast bonding eyes at Ewing and feeling that the player had taken a rooftop car to the two fellow league clubs and the fact that wast black basketball was his job had led to both Keenan and Strothers inquiring the possibility of asking permission to seek the services of Ewing. The Colonel from Harrisonburg promptly answered that at present he had no other catcher hired at the Capital City. Then Jim Keenan, the orator from the Bronx came through in no uncertain tone informing Bolden that Jack Ewing was the property of the Lincoln Giants and under no consideration would be held against Philadelphia to advance to the sought catcher. And thereby hung a tale. The difference of opinion always stimulates action so there is bound to be a skirmish about the player who has never appeared. Sigma Wins Title BY DICK NASHVILLE. TENN. --The Phil Beta Tossers won the inter-city Firaternal championship Friday night when they downed the Omega quinten 23 to 21 in a hard fought game. Parnell and Keene, former Howard men led the attack for the winners, while Knox, Kent and Greene, starred for the losers. There was a funny thing about Langford's eye affliction. He could see well enough to light on a dark and glorious day or at night if the lights above the ring shone brightly, such as prevails in Mexico. Sam was like an owl. When he got to Mexico City he insisted on a night sight, but the promoters made him sight, and at the time of the twenty-four hours they named. And they dragged old Samuel out to face Savage with the Mexican sum at its blinding best. Up Against It Langford was up against it, knew he could not, able to see Savage at all, but the game old follow went in there just to get the money. He expected to be seeked around with only a slight chance of landing a lucky hawker. And they were to go twenty When they were called to the center of the ring for instructions Sam's seconds to the hit, the referee told him the referee then refinished his option he told the men to go back to their corners and wait for the bell. Gets Lucky Break "Ah could not see seeing hitting. Ah goes on seeing hitting. my gloves on my trunks and waiting for the goh. Ah did not know how ah was going to get away with it, but intended to let fly as soon as he started hitting me. That man Savage rushed at me as soon as the bell rang, hit me once and then fell right into my arms. They say Harry Wilts often is g/ty of holding and hit him often and know old Sam was g/ty of holding and hitting this day." BY WACTER L. REEVES, JR. Eleven years ago, L. I. Gibson was a raving backfield man on the Springfield College team at Springfield, Mass. Now he is athletic director at bourgess High School, Edilton, MD.

The Lions took the lead in the early part of the game and run the score up to 6 to 1 before the Scholasties found themselves. The home boys found themselves after Bethard sent two double deckers through the basket, the lead then zigzagged until at the end of the first half the winners led with a four-point lead 13 to 9. The visitors' were unable to check the onrush of the Scholastic machine who were never headed for the remainder of the game. Virtually the same line-up that turned back the Howard University Quintet, was pitted against the "Schos". Timmons who starred in the Howard-Lincoln fracas, was forced to play defensively and did very little scoring. Charlie Mitchell excelled for the winners with four field goals while Day's floor work featured for the losers.

The local Eastern League outfit will make its season's debut on Sunday, April 3. When the Locust Point All-Stars and the Newark, Del. Stars are met in a doublebill at Westport Park. Aside from the regular aggregation that lined up last season with the Sox, will come Lindsey and Singer on the Lincoln Giants, Bowers, a recruit from last year, "Jim" Bailey, a portider from Winston Salem, N. C., and Petre an outfielder from the latter city. Bailey comes recommended as a better finger than Yokoley. Sox twirler, now in school at Livingston college, Petre is rated as a good collegian fly chaser and can also swat the ball. Bowers is from Richmond and got his knowledge of the game on the Virginia City Sandlots. As To Mound Staff Manager Taylor said he had a good crop of pitchers. McClure, Force, Pritchard and Strong form the big four, while Yokely and Bailey will probably come through in grand style. If the club bumps a jinx he has a world of unified and field material to use as an antidote. Wilson O-K "Babe Ruth" Wilson, general all-around man and one of the best swatters in the league will be back this season. He is now in Washington, his native town. No definite arrangements have been made as to how the infield and outfield will line up. Holloway and Wilson are sure to draw outfield berths, also P. Johnson, Lindsey. Brown, Jackson and Taylor will be the probable infield line up, with Eggleston and Clark behind the plate. On Sunday April 10, the Sox will meet a strong Semi-pro-Club from Camden, N. J.

The disappearance of the wooden snow guards from the white marble steps is a sure sign of spring. A realist's sign in the 2300 block of Woodyear street reads "Buy here, this block is 100% white." A new radio has been installed in the waiting room of "My" Barber Shop on Dolphin street, and you can either wait to jazz or waltz time. Saunders has a hobby horse for kiddies hairbobbing. The old lunch loft in the 400 block Dolphin street, has been renovated. There old Baltimoreans could get a good warm snack in the wee hours of the morning. The atmosphere was decidedly Bohemian, large lounging chairs, a corking hot fire, lights encased in Japanese lanterns, a muffled piano in the rear to entertain you for a nickle or Charlie Brown, the fat and joyful proprietor in an enormous white apron, a greasy tuxedo and a broad smile to draw a caricature of you on the back of a paper pie plate. The old loft will never be the same. A medicine show is packing them in on Pennsylvania avenue. same old stuff, a couple of blackface conedians with barrios, a barker and the usual crowd who buy patent medicines.

"Do you charge them for their dinner?" came the quick response from one much older. "Of course not!" was the laughing answer, afterwards she looked thoughtful. Should the children help in the ordinary home where the mother does the housework, laundry, cooking, sewing, and all there is to do? Should they be paid for small services? After many years' experience we think that practically all children, when little, want to do the things they see their elders doing, but if they are put off and not allowed to "help," as they get older they become so used to having everything done or that they no longer are useful. In a home recently visited, a little girl of two is very active. She runs to get the dust-pan, the broom, the baby's bib and to put the baby's boots away. She wants to help; she finds her joy in doing things she thinks will help. It is true that many of the things she does hinder more than they help, but she is cultivating the spirit of helpfulness.

Mrs. Marion Aldib has the smallest lunchroom in the city in the 400 block Presstman street, two tables to accommodate two customers each, soft red lights, an ideal place for a necking party. To the hall or fame we elect Wm Green, 1400 block Division street, because he is a cosmopolitan. Because he has traveled around the world a half dozen times, because he can talk with perfect familiarity about every seaport town in the world; because he has constructed models of ships inside of narrow neck bottles; because he can talk about Druld Hill avenue, the Escolta in Manila, Elizabeth street in Hong Kong, China and Twelfth street in Yokohama on the same breath. Because he is just as much at home on Radcliffe Highway, Lincoln. Paradise St. in Liverpool, Butte Road in Cardiff and on the Bund in Constantinople as he is on Division street here. Because he tried to join the crew when Peary started on his successful voyage to the pole, because he is a friend of Matt Henson and sat on the edge of the boat a.n.d watched him build the sleds on which he made his dash to the pole. Because, besides being a globe trotter, he is a pretty good guy. Just through the joy of doing things, and when she is old enough to be really helpful there is little danger that she will demand pay for every small service. And, moreover, we believe that she will remain so close in companionship to her mother that she will never need "winning back." Most of us, mothers who are crying, "Ho, shall I gain the confidence of my daughter?" put that confidence aside years ago, so effectively that it will be difficult indeed to regain. If parents and children begin right, work together, play together, read together and share things, there will be very little question of being paid for service. A mother of three, one a girl of sixteen, the others younger, says, "No, my children don't help; they could but they don't, and I haven't the heart to make them." The fault is in their bringing up, and they have been defrauded of one of the greatest joys of childhood, the joy of serving in the small ways in which they could serve. There is no joy in play or study that brings the satisfaction that the knowledge of having done something for Mother gives. Let the children help, do not discipline them to the pitiless of service. Do the little, helpful things about the home is as pleasant as play and very good exercise. The desire for activity is inherent in every healthy child, and the inclination to do the things others do is likewise a common gift. Why quell it, why not take advantage of it?

On dish washing, we associate dish-washing with red, rough hands, in these days of card playing who wants rough harens. So lets look at the dishwashing job and see if there is not some way to make it pleasanter and at the same time keep soft hands. So let women who do their dishin in such a careless way. They stack dishes with scraps of food on them. Then carelessly take them to the sink, dump them into the water, off-times with strong washing powder in it. Then in goes their hands, when they have finished carelessly put dirty dishes. The result is red, rough hands. Let us follow the woman who saves her hands. We will find her taking a fork and bow to the table, scraping scraps from the dishes into the bowl, or maybe she has a rubber skink clear she scrapes Then she takes the dishes to the kitchen. If she has plenty of hot water she first rinses the dishes, then puts them into a pan of hot suds. Now here's where a dishshaker comes in. She washes the dishshaker plus them in the ruck which is setting on the sink drainer, pours over them plenty of hot water. She saves them to dry. Much time is saved by this method. Now of course the real bugaboo is pots and pans. She should have put them in a soak their contents in water. When ready to wash she used the sink cleaner to scrape them. Then she takes the dish mop, and washes them thoroughly — then scours them. Then she wipes them dry, puts them on stove to dry thoroughly. After this she washes her hands and rubs some cold cream into them. Such a way of doing dishes makes the job quite a pleasure too. BY NINA TEMPLE CREAM AS A BEAUTIFIER Where do you put your cream—inside or out? If you are thin and emaciated, well and good, drink your cream. It is so good that you will put it if you are as rounded as you wish to be. Then, take your cream on the outside. If it is a skin food, not it it gently into the pores about the eyes especially and into the laughing wrinkles besides the mouth. It will make the skin smooth and play around with it. Put the cream into a smooth plane. Put the cream into the neck if it shows signs of shrivelling, at night time very generally, and in the morning it sheets to protect the bed linen. Use the ice cream after each cream treatment to tighter the skin. Put the cream into the backs of the hands and pull large kid gloves over them at night. Be sure to cut off the finger ends of the gloves for ventilation. The cream is also good for the skin, the cuticle and lessening brittleness. Do You Know? Alternating current (abbreviated A.C.) does not flow steadily in one direction. At a given instant it is flowing thru the circuit in one direction; the next instant in the opposite direction. Each change of direction is known as a "cycle". Ordinary current (a cycle) and power is known as the "60-cycle" circuit which means that it has gone thru 60 reversals of flow (cycles) in one second.

"Mid the gusty wind of March. From his peach on high He called the cry, "Tis spring! 'Tis spring! 'Tis spring!" The Story Of Spring So long ago that it is almost forgotten by men there was a time of eternal sunshine. There was then no patching summer new cold, and no fall or autumn. The only rain that fell gently patted the earth and encouraged it to send forth the shoots of grain and blossoms with flowers in its colorful decoration, nor the trees without their protecting foliage. It was indeed a time of eternal sunshine. So profuse was the growth that Jupiter gave god who ruled the world, gave the care of the grain, flowers, and all the things that grow into the care of his sister, Ceres. The rock, the happy caretaker, the waving grain and the blooming flowers. Now Ceres had a most beautiful daughter named Prosperia. Prosperia sometimes helped her mother to grow flowers, but more frequently she stole away to the fair island of Sicily to spend the day gathering flowers on the green slopes of Mount Ema or dancing with the nymphs on the level plains of One day while Proserpina and her companions were weaving long garlands of flowers, old Pluto, the ruler of the dark region under the moon, the maidens were singing such humble times and sending forth such gay ripples of silver laughter that he paused behind some bushes to hear and see their lovely light! There couched on a bank of mosses and flower buds sat Proserpina, the furthest maiden of all. Pluto thought of his dark kingdom and said to himself: "Would it not be better to have this bright creature to be my queen. She can rule with me and bring happiness to the dark underworld. But also: poor me," he continued. "I know that but I would ever wish to desert the green earth for my black throne in Hades. The only way to gain her is to kidnap her and flee." The idea became a great desire. He must have the brave strength through the maidens. The nymphs saw him and fled in fright. Foor Proserpina. Too late did she realize her danger. She was chased in strong arms and borne away far far, far below her beautiful horns. The first shades of evening creep over the horizon and Ceres, returning from the deepest missing. She went to her daughter's favorite spot, but the scattered flowers gave no message. When night drew her jobless, she went to Properia could be found. Ceres' heart was heavy. She lighted a torch at the fire of Mount Actina and continued her search. The sun shone on her heart. Her "Where are you Properia? Where are you?" No answer came but she continued. All night the echoes were kept awake by the sound of the town found then still busy. One day when Ceres was most heavy with grief and worry with searching, she sat down beside a crystal fountain to rest. Her tired eyes were just about caught a tinkling murmur. The fountain was trying to whisper something. She leaned a lattice closer. "Dear Ceres," it murmured. "Grieve not. Properia, the very unloved one of photos." Ceres listened for more, but the fountain was silent except for the phallusphish of the clear water. At last she was able to see what could she do? Pluto was very strong and he would never permit Prosperina to leave him alone in his gloomy home. Ceres was truly sad now. She did not want him in side where she grieved all alone, forgetting her beloved vegetation. The dainty flowers dropped their smiling faces and died. The leaves turned brown and fell. The grain dried before it ripened. Then she paid no attention to their distress. She only shook her head sorrowfully and said, "As long as Prosperina, my daughter, rejoiced. Hes, hies, not minded the vegetation and nothing on earth shall grow." The people then addressed Jupiter, "Great god!" they cried, "arise and free Prosperina. We have already suffered too much." We continued days and nights while black famine laid waste the land. Finally, Jupiter, weary of these prayers, called Ceres and spoke with her, "Ceres, my sister," he The most dangerous ill of childhood is—worms! You may not know your child has them.

She has居于 her daughter's abode, Pale and sad-faced, Proserpina came forth to greet her. When they had embraced and discussed to soil their hands down the narrow passage back to the earth and freedom.

For every seed one month of every year in her husband's realm. More than this, I can not do." Thus it came about that Properly spends one half of every year with Pluto in Hades. During these six months, Ceres retreats to her mountain cave to grieve. The world is truly under the brown earth and sometimes even a month of snow. The treeslet their leaves fall and stretch bare, brown arms to Jupiter in prayer. Men are gloomy peril autumn and winter. But during the second six months, which men call spring and summer, Ceres is perilous perils return. The skies overhead become bright blue. The flowers break forth in bloom. The grass springs fresh and green. The birds upon the budding trees spring. "Tis spring!" Tis spring! A—Ernest Batch established a camp for a group of boys on Lake Asquam, New Hampshire, about 1880. It was so well liked that other camps were soon started, and the movement grew steadily. Aunt Ray's Letter Dear Children: Spring! spring!—the word keeps ringing in my ears. Do not wonder if my letter to you is full of it. How many have noticed the ant-hills in the street, one of the surest signs of spring? I am sure that no one of you has failed to feel his spirit lighten with the first signs of spring. I thought that you might be interested in knowing something about the division of the year into seasons. When you grow older and delve into learned books, you will learn many scientific reasons for changes in weather and causes of seasons. For the present, however, read the story of the week and believe with the old Greeks this beautiful version of the origin of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The months seems to have passed unusually fast since our little section started. When the idea of Ye Younger Folk first came to me, I remember well that the children were lustily singing. "How can a little child be merry in snow, blowy January?" By each day doing what is best, by thinking, working for the rest So can a little child be merry in snow, blowy January." Then came February. This month with its collection of birthdays and celebrations serves as a lovely introduction to the fairest season of the year. Some maker of verses, inspired by high hope of the coming season, penned these lines to February: "Will the dark days never be over, Will the cold winds always blow, Must the buttercup and the clover Be ever hid under snow?" Ahl! lend me your little ear, love, For 'tis a wonderful thing That the earliest month of the year, love, is shortest and closest to spring". And now at last spring itself! Did you ever think of it as the world's greatest promise. That's what it truly is — the promise of beauty, of happiness and of all of the lovely things that one dreams of. Not only do men realize this but all nature responds to the call. In the land of spring is a great and joyous secret. Those of you who do not know how the owers learn 'tis time to bloom or how the brook knows 'tis time to sing read this little poem called 'Pussy Willow's Secret': "Pussy Willow had a secret. That the snow-drops whispered her. And she purred it to the South wind while it stroked her velvet fur; And the South wind hummed it softly to the busy honey-bees. And they buzzed it to the blossoms And the brooks told Robin Redbreast as they chattered to and fro; Little Robin could not keep it so he sang it loud and clearo To the sleep fields and meadows. "Wake up! spring is here!" I shall stop now, lest I give you poems for the other months of the year and have none when the months actually arrive. Just one little thought I would leave with you — springtime is your time; enjoy it. Aunt Pay A—The Bureau of Agricultural Economics says that the reason the United States does not have as large a yield per acre as some other countries is because more acres are farmed with less man power.

His mouth wished and had been rubbing vigorous worms were in her eyes as she giddled herself up.

The girl looked her bewilderment. "Treated you?" she asked, "don't you think it was the one who was miserably around? I was the one who was miserably.

You said if I ever needed a friend to out, and God knows I need one now." Leslie made no comment. He was kneeling at her feet gazing off into space. He could see it all now. Some dirty dog had sent her a letter calling off the wedding, had used his paper and duplicated his hand written note. The girl was talking again. "I was so hurt that night, Les.

"Yes, I had left him his bedings, his rattings, his luxury parties no longer. His running around with other women, not that I was jealous or cared where he went or what he did, but he was my husband and the way he treated me was common gossip." "You must have cared to run away, probably expected him to look at you and tell me what he did." "Why Leslie, that is so different from what I expected from you even though you told me that you realized that I was not the kind of girl for you. I, at least, expected sympathy for old time's sake." "Because I came home late one night from a club meeting and a brother of one of the girls accompanied me home because it was dark on our street. Rupert was drunk: he saw us and waited in the vestibule. I saw him. He would have beaten me, as he did on previous occasions, and I would have been sent to the ment.

William Coleman, in whose home the murder took place, stated that on the day of the shooting, Brown, who lived at 5321's Greenwillow street, Barnes and three other men were engaged in a card game, in which he himself took part. Brown and Barnes suddenly became engaged in a dispute over money matters.

STORY RECANTS USE OF 'STRONG' WORD Tells Baptist Preachers "Damn Liar" Language Was A Little Strong Acknowledging that language used in recent subjects, could have been modified, the Rev. Francis Story, pastor of St. Paul Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, appeared before the Baptist Conference last Monday, with a statement to that effect. The statement as read by the Rev. Story seemed to have been satisfactory to some of the ministers present, and a motion was about to be passed to accept it, provided it be published in the press. The Rev. Joshua Green, having been late, asked that the secretary read the matter for his benefit. This reading revealed that things are not always what they seem, and the matter was referred to the following committee: the Revs. W. F. Dickerson, J. H. Green, J. Robinson, G. A. Crawley, A. J. Pavne, D. G. Mack, S. Williamson, C. J. Garnett, and G. W. King. The Rev. Mr. Story told the ministers that he did not want to stand off from them, and that he needed their friendship. He said also that he had made no assertion that he could make it in this city alone, and he was willing to modify the themes to the satisfaction of the ministers. Visitors present were: the Revs. M. Howard-Staunton, of Washington; C. Franklin, Washington; M. Graven, Shenandoah, Va.; George L. Harris, Rahway, N. J.; George W. Klimbe, Pittsburgh, the Rev George F. Bragg, Jr. s. and Amy J.

To Open Here The Try Me Bottling Company, just completing a modern bottling plant at the corner of Preston and Madison avenue will not only cater largely to colored trade but will carry more than 25 race employees according to a statement made by its managers this week. The plant which has been especially equipped with the most modern machinery is a unit of a number of similar plants operated in other cities especially throughout the south. They manufacture a line of nine flavors of soft drinks which are put up in nine ounce bottles. The usual size of bottles of most of the soft drinks of this character is six ounces, but the Try Me Company claims that with the lower cost of materials they have increased the contents instead of decreasing the price and that in doing so they had kept the same high quality which makes their beverages the most popular in all cities where they operate. At an early date the company will hold an opening in which they intend to serve 10,000 or more free drinks to the public. NATURES HERBS OF LIFE I am a Herbologist and System Renovator.

She threw her arms around his neck hastily. Leslie took her in his arms, wrapped the blanket around her again and settled down in the chair. She sung closely close to him. She tucked the methodical tick-tock of the mounted clock, as the minutes drifted into hours—and soon her breathing told him she was asleep. His brain was in a turmoil, such thoughts! A thickening light played upon her face, her face, to what she had come through—and she was once so pretty, so talented, he thought. That hacking cough raised a doubt in his mind. Could she ever sing again? But the physical exposure she had suffered affected her, she rubbed her of its sweetness, its melody. But why should he bother? She meant nothing to him—she belonged to someone else. He cursed under his breath the whole institution—he cursed. Supervised. It took him mad. He reached over and adjusted the carphones of his radio to his head. He had to do something to take the load off his mind. Even while he was fingering the hat the thought kept reporting, the man's wife. He had picked up an early morning concert, the strains of an orchestra became more distinct as he turned the diat. He knew the section, but it was not. He knew the Might Belong to Somebody Else. But Tonight You belong to Me." He listened forgetful of all the world without until a sound of life in the pathway told him it was dawned. With daylight came a solution to his problem. Gwendolyn was to have her treated in Harlem Hospital. He placed his emergency savings at her demand. Nothing was too good.

They seemed to have a new appeal, he would form them into a musical comedy. Gwen would be the star. He would write new ones. How would they be formed?

JOUDGED BY 'OPPORTUNITY' AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-26 ve Serial about enty People ELY FOR Joph Matthews Almost Assured, News Co ges His Plans And Nick "Hello, man of mystery," called a merry voice as Kayne felt a friendly shap on the back one day as he left his apartment. He turned to look in the smiling countenance of Al Freeman. "You've been so busy and mysterious so far, what are you doing over at Harlem Hospital so much, undergoing an operation or studying nursing?" "Neither?" laughed Kayne. "You see a friend of mine is very ill and I try to carry a little cheer." "Must he a woman, you old buzzard, because no man would hardly pay for orchids to clide up another man. Don't try to hide them. I isn't so dumb." Leslie looked sheepishly. "You're right, old man, it is a woman, an old classmate of mine from Baltimore. Just learned she was over there. Are you going my way?" "Yep, I'm on my way to change the setting in this ring. Grace wants two small diamonds and one sapphire instead of two small sapphires and one diamond." "I see my theory is at work already," smiled Kayne, "women-like she has to be company even before you are married. How do you expect to agree after she gets you?" "Oh, a little thing like that is nothing to do f. Grace. She has been used to having her own way she just a spoiled kid but she will just a spoiled kid but she won't expect too much." "Women never outgrow their own way once they get started. At. Put your foot down right now so she won't expect too much." "Good idea. Leslie, she has changed the place where we are to spend our honeymoon six times, and by god, I'm going where I had planned at first." "You have walked past the jewelry store where you intended to change the setting. reminded Leslie, "It's a block back." Attended to, that ring is going to stay just like it is. So long, old man." Leslie dropped in the office of Billy Ansen, the theatrical booking agent, to inform him that he expected to team up with a female partner soon with a knockout act, and was just left with a shocking result with him in an explanation that sent cold chills down his back. San Diego, Cal.-Dennis V. Allen, well-known business man here, has been appointed as a member of the local educational advisory committee, under the direction of the local school board.

Double Called Heath Page Seventeen omes From Baltimore Is It In The Bud ♦ "Met a chap from Baltimore today, friend of yours—Clifford—Rupert Clifford. He's a lawyer, I believe and mightly anxious to see you." "Is that so," said Kayne nervously. You didn't give him my address did you? "Nope, don't know it." "Good," replied Leslie as he left the office. He was more trouble. It seemed an although Clifford was ever to a thorn in his side, turning up to nick his happiness in the bud. Leslie had gained a reputation among his friends as a cynic but he hated it. He was just getting back himself with Gwen as an inspiration when his old enemy Rupert fooms again across the horizon to darken his future. Such luck! Was Rupert ever to cause the knock in his engine of happiness? Had he not caused him enough misery, hardened his heart and made him less than a man? Why? What was the shadow over the future, which a moment before had seemed so bright? What could his mission be? If he found Gwen and knew of their relationship he would probable apply for a divorce, naming him correspondent, the scandal of it being scandal. Suppose he had repented and wanted to take her back. Well there was Gwen's promise that she would never return—but at best women can never be trusted where husbands are concerned. When affection did not afford him in appearance Leslie dismissed him from his mind. The days dragged into weeks—live—six—at last she was well. She was coming out today. A letter from Baltimore lately unmotivated to his dresser as Leslie insisted. One piece and he stuffed it in his pocket unopened. Half way down the stairs a messenger boy stopped him with a telegram. He took it open on the run and was just hailing a cab—the cab that was to bring Gwen home—when he stopped short. Mother's is dying, come at once. "Where to?" demanded the driver hearsely as he pulled near the curb and opened the door. Leslie sank into the seat; he was in a daze. For several seconds he thought, then in a choked voice said, "Pennsylvania station."

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder No matter 't what way you advertise your business whatever method you take be everlasting at it. There is no big business today that will last a year without persistent and consistent 'verising. Do not think because you are doing well today you will be well. Remember there is always another fellow in the same business and this person is your friend or he may not only have his own business but may get yours. A Jewish clothing store advertised means of a big sign in front which, "The Cheapest Place In Town... another follow two doors below." "Goods Cheaper Here Than At Any Other Place." The man who owned the store in the middle pad on a sign, "Main Entrance." This was advertising. Go then and do likewise. J. M. Wiley Poor Sam Sam Four banks failed in and around Palm Beach, Florida last week, and fearful lest Uncle Sam were "busted" too. our folk started an all day run on the penal saving bank, with- drawing 25,000 before the end of bours. At first that this might seem a reflection upon the Florida folk who did not realize that Uncle Joe's world's safest friend and that their funds are well guarded with him as it is humanly possible to have them. All of which may be true, but nothing has happened in Florida to make our group there a special confidence environment, which has been unable to assure them the ballot it promised, unable to make safe their lives and property against the mobs and the lynchers, or other respects enforce its own faws. Isn't it then reasonable for the man of the street to come to the conclusion that Uncle Sam cannot be trusted with his citizens isn't also to be trusted too face with the dollars of the same folks? Old Recipes There was a time when ingredients for cooking were not measured by the spoon or the cup but by what they cost in money. Ten cents' worth of ginger runs one recipe from this period. A modern house-wife, searching into old cookbooks and diaries, Fail to translate 10 cents' worth of ginger 25 years ago into cups and spoons of today, she at last decided to get 10 cents' worth as stated, and to her surprise, it was the right amount of seasoning. Ginger, it seemed, had no price in price. "Ald 5 cents' worth of almonds bought four times" admonishes another recipe. A consultation with elderly housewives whose memories still served brought the solution. In those days, when 5 cents' worth of anything was not too transaction to be handled with respect, the tradesman, not to be riggary, gave generous measure, so that 5 cents' worth four times meant more than 20 cents' worth at one time. There are shoppers today who say that this way of buying is still to the buyer's advantage. Coffee Vindicated Coffee Vindicated (The Atlanta Constitution) Again is Coffee county to be commended for upholding law and order, vouchsafing the integrity of courts, and stamping out violence. Four murders in Dave Wright Lynch's home have been convicted sentenced to long penitentiary terms. There were 17 persons in the mob. Sixteen of them are serving sentences, two of them with life terms. Court officials of the county are determined the one to yet at large shall be apprehended made to pay as are his confidantes. Dave Wright was lynched in 1926—the only person lynched in the state last year, though other mob activities such as flogging, some sections of the city, few days before lynching the Coffee superior court, presided over by Judge Harry Reed, of Waycross, began to gather the lynchers in. Today the county has blotted out the stain and fully vindicated herself. The mob participants can be brought to the court. Coffee they in any other county. The overwhelming majority of the people in every county not only want law and order but they dey accusations upon constituted authority. Coffee ought to serve as an example for other counties to emulate. U. S. In Haiti (PROOF THE NATION) Haiti's customs house will recall, was occupied by American Marines in 1916. and the marines are still there. Haiti's customs-house Page Lighteen Call Vernon 6016 are under American control, her Constitution and budget are American-made, and her President, M. Louis Borno, is a pure American invention. Haiti has not elected so much as a dog-catcher since Smedley Butler, pistol in hand; dissolved her Senate because it refused to sign on the dotted line. Admiral Caperton from his battleship arranged for the election of Sudre Dartigueau despite the hostility of the Senate which Butler later dissolved; and Dartigueau's hand-picked Cabinet arranged for Borno to succeed him, without consultation of the Haitian people. When therefore, "President" Borno announces that Senator King will not be permitted to land in Haiti because of his expressed hostility to the French government, a person in the language of the street, smells a rat. Mr. Borno does not so much as change his peculiar style of hair-cut without consulting the American High Commissioner, Genocide Survivor Bar American Senator without at least finding out what General Russell would think of such a course. And when the State Department—which instructed Admiral Caperton of the Dartmouth College to bar an American Senator without at least finding out what General Russell would think of such a course—advises the Haitian Constitution which supervises Haiti's finances and instructs General Russell what to do—announces that it could not think of invading Haiti's "national sovereignty" until the commission of Senator King—well, again in the language of the street, it is to laugh. Philosophy Of Darrow Is Negroes' God Philosophy Of Darrow Is Negroes' God By Bishop E. W. D. JONES Jesus said, "He who is not against us is for us." Predicted upon this hypothesis Mr. Darrow is with Jesus, whether he confesses Him or not. God stans for love of man, for justice, for sellerness, for morals, for truth for the oppressed, for intellect, for humanity, for right, for fellow-brotherhood. So does Mr. Darrow and in these excellent virtues they are one. When we find this conception freeing, ennobling and empowering life we know that we have the creating and developing forces of worthest, and most valuable, but talks of Supreme Energy means God. The man who talks of moral principles, aesthetic and nature, means God, for "the conception of principle, values and nature are merely conceptions of the unseen." We identify with all good. Right-acting individuals are nobler than creeds. Must a man know, believe and confess God before he receives revelations and directions from God? The God of creation is the God and the life was the light of men which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Darrow is controlled by faith. I might wish that faith in God be for positive faith in God is mightiest and more productive of good, but I rejoice that he is not a hypocrite. He rings true on the great causes of God and stand unflinching before God. He is the one whose itsils white citying to treat the Negro as Jesus would treat him. Our race has suffered more from misrepresentation of Jesus than from any attempt to deny His existence. In this connection we have never known an Alistair, a Socialist nor an Agnostic who was not square and fair and just on the race question. White people who are not such a God is not the God of the Negro nor the Oppressed. The greatest and most monumental sin of all the ages is to so interpret Jesus in exordiums and sermons in the House of God, before the open Bible, as to incite and excite a nation to prejudice as if it were just—a section to the righteousness of Jesus and to avoid mob to the belief that it is doing God's will in brutality and slaughter. What about a Christian ministry, (from which we have received our hardest blows) of which Sinclair Lewis says, in Elmer Gantry—the Book of the Mouth of March—that prioritizing the white ministry: "Many of the most worthy Methodist and Baptist Congregations supported the Ku Klux Klan and were supported by it?" Mr. Darrow will not support his marriage to Ku Klux, and still he is neither Protestant nor Catholic. He is a Christian acter. Darrow is not the only man who cannot believe in the Christ of a Christianity that denies an honest man a chance; a Christianity that Jim-crows a fellow because of his color; a Christianity that sneers at him and denies him a seat in consecrated pews, in dedicated colossal edifices which are monuments to him, where professed Christians are chanting hymns of love from hearts of hate; a Christianity that discriminates against men in their unequal struggle to educate and provide for dependents; a Christianity which brazenly seek to impress upon fellow men inferiority and submissiveness as such a Christian. It is rocking the spiritual pillars of thought and righteous action in the universe. Give us only the Jesus of the Good Samaritan parable; the Jesus of the Syro-Phoenician woman; the Jesus at the well of Sychar; the Jesus of Calvary. Give us this or convert the world to Darrowism. DAYBYDAY DAYBYDAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES Little Sallie Moody, 9, who lives in a little street near Payne A. M. E. Church, in Northwest Baltimore, may not be a juvenile prodigy, but you will be interested in his ability to aid children. Until Payne A. M. E. church moved into the fashionable neighborhood of Madison avenue, Sally went to its Sunday school down in Laurens street. Payne is gone, but Sally still lives in Laurens street and when asked asked she did still go to Sunday school she replied, "No, God has moved." This week another large church now in the heart of a closely congested section of Baltimore is taking the preliminary steps to move to a more fashionable and beautiful section of the city. JESSE CHRIST IS MOVING FROM THE ALLEYS AND LOWLY PLACES INTO STRIVER'S ROW. Probably Christ was all wrong when he chose to be born in a manger in Nazareth rather than in Roman marmite balls—when he talked to the woman at the well of the Sea of Galilee rather than kings of the money maries of Jerusalem or high societief folk of Nineveh. But this migration of churches from "their fields white with harvest" is just another phase of the bloody event. We are no longer concerned with the spirit of sacrifice, but have joined the mad rush of big business. Per Cent Law? What has become of that law on the statute books which limits the legal rate of interest one may charge to six per cent? Perhaps it has gone the way of the 1984 amendments, for no law is so fragrantly disregarded than this one against usury. By bonuses, fees and discounts, the money lender is still able to get his pound of flesh. Recent loans to colored folk in Baltimore for which actual first mortgage real estate security was given, shows that they average 11 per cent without legal and other costs incidental thereto. That this extra interest on a 5000 mortgage which some broker negotiates with a bank costs more than the burden of taxes and that the men get more for negotiation of loans than the government takes from your earnings for American pro There is a legitimate place for the money lender. They are need ed and serve a good purpose in any case. The law requires six per cent the legal rate, the law should to see to it that six per cent only is charged. We Don't Want It M. S. Stewart of Memphis, Tennessee, is an efficient insurance man but as a logician he misses the mark in a recent issue of the Memphis Triangle in which he philosophizes on social equality. Down in the Southland prudent leaders emphasize the classic statement of Booker T. Washington that the races can live "one as the hand but separate as the fingers." In setting himself square, Mr. Stewart begins by giving out the following hackneyed expression so well known to southern audiences: "I have no sort of desire to force my presence and my association into the home, the church, the social function or the family of any man, set of men, or race of men. If social equality used as a subterfuge and smoke screen to accomplish more substantial and material injustices did not cost me any money. I would not care. I care nothing about purely social isolation or segregation, or discrimination; but it is the material values denied me at every cross and turn against which I most emphatically protest." It may be fatalistic but the younger generation of colored folk have long since punctured this fallacy of Booker T. Washington's philosophy. They know that you never can be bedecked of the United States without setting down in social contact with the big men of the world and THAT AS LONG AS YOU ARE DENIED SOCIAL EQUALITY YOU WILL BE DENIED EQUALIZATION OF OTHER MATERIAL VALUES. Frankness is the best way to temper the deep seated problem. The white men and women of the South are not half as arvivex to social equality in all its most intimate contacts as they are to getting rid of the economic system whereby they can keep a white race in economic slavery. There is more real social contact (mispli) than there is in Boston. BUT AS LONG AS THE WHITES CAN KEEP MEN AND WOMEN LEADERS TALKING LIKE MR. STEWARTH AND ACQUISITION OF SOCIAL ISOLATION THEY CAN KEEP THE SOUTH SAFE FOR SLAVERY. Equalization Of Preacher's Salaries One of the most vital influences in Methodist churches is the spectre of appointment at each annual conference, when men of the cloth face change involving salaries and living conditions, realize that many of the activities of the entire year in our churches revolve around hopes of proper placement at annual conferences. Getting into the big and wealthy charges is the ambition of every minister and saving souls of the homeless of secondary consideration. At a recent meeting of ministers here it was suggested that the general conference work out a more equitable basis of salary apportionment. Some of the great challenges this basis and its common practice in the school teaching profession. Certainly the minister sent down in an isolated district to save souls often needs as much ability and spirit of sacrifice as the man who主持 the highly organized city charge. FORUM Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough. The editor's blue pen phrase "makes a ready man, writes an agreed man."

Nice Deer To University Or College But Wants to Do It Is Bit For Clericism To the Editor: In response to your appeal for Howard University, I am sending money order for the opportunity to go to universities or colleges, but I am glad to do my little part, help bring about the result set forth in your appeal. Samuel Carroll, 507 Bloom St. President Mordecail Johnson Commends AFRO Dollar Campaign To the Editor: I will express my admiration and thanks to the AFRO-AMERI-CAN for its noble and rigorous effort to raise an endowment fund for Forward University by securing one dollar gifts from a multitude of Such a fund could not fall to be a blessing to the Howard University as a purely spiritual as well as in a financial sense. I know of nothing that would give a greater stimulus to it morale or the knowledge that the university was getting part of its very life from numerous one dollar contributors in the Negro race. W. W. Johnson, President, Howard University, Washington. "What a fortune for Howard University and the large group of colored Americans that Prof. Kelly Miller was to possess possible eruption in the Current History magazine indicates that he is beating positively dangerous as a Negro publicist and propagandist. He has written his little article among his moronic following about as they used the utterances of Marcel Garvey. A article to many will seem be a recitation of focus I it's its many Millerized interpretations and wrong statements are harmful. For instance in the Sweet case an innocent by-sender is like calling member of any lynching mob, innocent. The answer to the sentiment of a white man is Seligman, a white man in the same magazine, entitled, "A Protest Against Ghetto Conditions. How fortunate a man who has made a segregation, except that he has made a good living by capitalizing it, should defend it, and a white man should write opposing it for the best interests of the colored people." Much weekly release from the facile pen of Prof. Miller is enlightened like ideas sugar coated with thick verbage, but it is mostly read by us. Writing for a fee for capitalistic journalism, Miller makes it easier to keep the masses hating each other is another thing. Race hatred and denominational Christianity and the segregation and teaching that rewards should be looked for in heaven are parts of the scheme. Prof. Miller is becoming sourced or failing to get fame in force straddling on all issues, decides non-denominary interests. Living by Howard University surrounded by his colored friends represents a soulful and non-denominary professor, but how about the frontier colored man on the border line with the enemy in the Negro Gillette district to extend onto the avenues, into the electric lights, the good paved streets, better schools, light, air and some of the good schools. Prof. Miller does say that many of us profit by virtue of segregation and that we don't make a supreme sacrifice and leave our job of administering to our own sick teaching our own children in separate schools, preaching to them and drawing our money by such service. No, and neither did it my millions of Americans leave the country when we entered the various wars. Thousands and millions thought as did Bryan and Wilson that we had no place in the struggle, and should be too proud to fight. Just before we all were entered in the last war. Against segregation we should maintain an antagonistic attitude. We need not be loyal to every tyrant or every cause but we can be loyal to ourselves and the best interests of generations of people to come just as many of our foreparents living as slaves kept a non-servile and rebellious attitude towards slavery, even though they may have lived worse had they been free men. E. B. Henderson, Falls Church, Va It's All In The State Of Mind If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't; If you'd like to win, but you think you can't. It's almost a cliché it won't. If you think you will lose, you've lost. For you in the world you find Success begins with a fellow's will— It's all in the state of mind. Ever after his work's begun. Think big, and your deeds will grow. Think small and you'll fall behind. Think that you can and you will— If you think you're outclassed, you are: You've got to think high to rise; You've got to be sure of yourself before. You ever can win a prize.

In the days when the smows had retreated from the hills, the people of Baltimore began much talk, is spring, they say, "See how the air is sweet, the air is Lo, our windows are open." The best thing for a man to do when he is down is to get up. A great woman rose up in the west. She was wise and sold aromatic oils and perfumes to them she knew no better to beautifully selfs. She flourished as a bay tree and a poor male bush came up by her side. She was when the bay tree was weighted with many dollars the male bush demanded that he should be transplanted and should have half of the fruit of the bay tree. I quoth, I have been the power and the glory in the beauty college and I demand my half. And there was much muttering in the land. If a man is on the downhill way There's many a boost on the way. When the great Howard Jackson was ruler of the city of Bali, he chose their spokesman from the fourth district. The Islames and the Gentiles said. We shall represent you.

J. H. Russell, who bears the double t it i e of Brigadier-General and American High Commissioner to the Haitian Government, reports that the Civil War is booming along in lively fashion with notable advances to be recorded in public health, but suffers severely from a shaky and unreliable judiciary; the juries of which are not well trained and unreliable. Well, so might read the report of the Martian High Commissioner to the American Government, if there were one — and who knows that there is not? Our public finances have been better than the current proof that the Treasury Department last winter once more under-guessed the surplus; our public works surpass anything since the time of the Romans, and our public education and public health are so important as to be positively embarrassing. But our judicially system? Well, there have been cases here, as in Haiti, where postponements have been remarkable for duration. We are still wrestling with Mr. Sinclair, for example. There are cases where witnesses have disappeared. Ask Willem van der Groot, gentleman in the oil scandals who lit out for Europe and fingered their noses at us. There have been cases where witnesses have forgotten their facts. Revert to the Daughter-Miller trials. And as to juries going against the Government, what of the youths who witnessed passes the Dohney and Fail in the conspiracy cases? All in all, it looks very much as though the dark-hued ward in the Carribean is the spitting image of us. She looks so much like us, indeed, that we are afraid some malicious neighbor will crack an unseemly joke about our interest in her difference, that is in Haiti they propose to do something about their one ill, while we slump helplessly in the belief that we can do nothing about ours. But what will the Haitians do? The double-titled Russell indicates that the juries are the worst feature of the Haitian judicial system, and he declares that the Haitian Government is bont on reelection. Haitians are to reform the juries out of existence, with the benediction of our Mr. Russell? Weekly Lessons In English **WORD OFTEN MISUSED** "Dozen" and "dozenen".

WORTHWHILE. Word Study Heard and Seen In Baltimore BY RALP MATTHEWS HEARD AND SEEN Thoughts while glancing through the crowd—if many more candidates throw their hats in the councillional ring we'll either have to get a bigger ring or smaller hats. If derbies were made to fit the brain instead of the head the latter would be an easy matter. We know that several criminal lawyers are running for office but we can't prove anything on them. A real estate man is lucky. He can either make his tenants put him in office or threaten to put them out of his house. Then it can't be denied that he is a man of deeds. A dentist ought to have a lot of pull. Most candidates are Mexican athletes, that is they are good at throwing the bull. The best man wins everywhere else, but the best liar wins in politics. A man down in Adick, Texas, said to be 123 years old, remembers when he saw Abraham Lincoln, Ulysess S. Grant, and Gen. Robert E. Lee. He one drink of Pennsylvania mirae avenue hooched and we can see them right now. Speaking of Lincoln tolk's in east Baltimore tolk's in paying a buck to see the skeleton of the great emancipator on display in a tent. The man has two skeletons, the tall one was Lincoln when he was a man and the smaller one was Lincoln as a little boy. A man borrowed $125 from his wife and went on his honeymoon alone. This was a low thing to do; the very idea of JUST BORROWING $125. Mat Henson, the great explorer, said in a lecture that while at the North Pole they could only sleep a five hours at rest. This same scheme is being practiced by modern apartment houses dwellers in winter. He also said that when food was scarety they unhitched one of the dogs from the sleds and ate him. We wouldn't think of eating dog meat down here unless it was labeled hamburger steak and cost fifty cents a pound. A New York Radio Station is broadcasting a College course over the ether. Soon we'll see a lot of guys with college degrees and heads full of statie. A few generations will find them putting education in a bag and selling it by the pound. Some men will be able to eat up a whole encyclopedia at one meal. They can have historical pudding with mathematical sauce for desert. Polks will suffer intolerable inertia.

WE'd all be equipped with meters and would start ourselves off in the morning with a switch. You would have to be mighty careful not to get your wires crossed and have a short circuit. Then there is the constant danger of getting excited and blowing out a fuse. A man with a fiery temper might be condemned as a fire hazard. Amos Hokum It often happens that the man who never does anything has the most to say about it. AMOS HOKUM SAYS That the world is composed of "its" That the A. B.

Our idea of the most useless question a woman can ask her husband these days is what color the eyes of the girl they just passed were. A pretty girl, wearing the very lace dress, the beach when a young man approached her and took off his hat, remarking that it was a fine day," said the girl, indignantly. "I don't know you from Adam." "Will returned the young man, unaware," I would hardly know you from Eve. Kelly Miller Says Wherever the Negro contingent constitutes a considerable portion of the population, it will be assigned to separate schools and separate residential areas. I do not advocate either, but understand both. We must invoke the law because there is no supporting public opinion outside of the technical compulsion of the law. The very judges whose sworn duty compels them to resolve the law in our behalf have the same personal attitude as the rest of their race I contributed to the March number of Current History an article on the causes of Segregation. Mr. Sellman, the Press Agent of the I. A. A. C. I. in traversing this city, be forced construction sought to interpret my treatment as a plea for segregation. The following correspondence tells the rest of the story to date. March 5, 1927 Mr. James Weldon Johnson Executive See N. A. A. C. P. My dear Mr. Johnson: I was surprised to find that your organization outraged me in a release outlining that I advocated protection. Such a distortion is beneath the level of the intelligence and integrity which I have been told to ascribe to the personnel of the Current History. I endeavored to set forth an analysis of the segregation movements, the attempts which have been made to check and the unjust future. I will thank you if you will point out any error of fact or illogicality of inference. But your unleashing release unworthy of the award endowed to me, the battles of the race by honorable warfare. Yours truly, (Signed) Kelly Miller March 5, 1927 I have your letter of the 5th in which you say that this Association sent out a release stating that you will be able to characterize the release a "seemingly willful distortion" and "beneath the level of intelligence and integrity which you and we describe to the staff of this organization. Statement Warranted The release sent out by the Association stated that your article in the March number of Current History was written to understand between white and colored groups." We feel that that statement is warranted by your own opinion expressed in the release, to the release, namely, "A tactic understanding, though perhaps not a formal agreement will be reached, honorable and fair, good, and black, whose mutuals good-will and cooperation the welfare of our cities and of our nation depends." This expression of opinion is common and sums up your article after a discussion of pros and cons of segregation, and your words appear to us to be plain and unequivocal both in their explicit and implicit meanings. Sincerely Yours, (Signed) James Weldon Johnson Dr. James Weldon Johnson, Secretary N. A. A. C. P. would be proud to welcome my dear Dr. Johnson: Yours of the 5th in hand, which merely confirms my original be- felt desire to instigate me before the public as advocating the inviolible scheme of segregation which you are pledged to destroy as the sum of racial injustice. I once had occasion to defend you from the in- justice of the occasion of the late unpleasantness between you and Editor Vann. I am very anxious to pers- sue that my confidence was well placed. I rather enjoyed Mr. Seligman's reloinder in Current history. I would have appreciated a assignment by your organization as a professional necessity. He certainly filled up my time touching the integrity of my treatment. Perhaps his more serious variance is where he insists that the boundaries of our society are not knife-cut, but jugged. Fought Segregation It ought: not be necessary for me to say that I have persistently fought aggregation with voice and force, and with the legal issue. I headed a citizen's movement in the District of Columbia to raise funds to push the impeachment of the prime Court at a time when it did not seem prudent for the local N. A. A. C. P. to go to the front. I did without reward or official recognition, but that I missed the one-sided zeal of professional protestism. If you confuse the expression of professional forces to the outcome, you are offending obvious with advocacy of the result predicted, then with due respect to your literary acumen. I must know you secure a revised dictionary. Foresee Separate Areas It seems to me to me that the races in our large cities will gravitate toward areas, that these areas will acquire tacitly understood and recognized boundaries, and that the races that are satisfied with increased accommodations and facilities. I do not advocate this eventually nor do I want to do anything. What do you foresee? I am willing to place my forecast with any which you may care to venture as a movement. Do you hope to be able to abolish segregation within any future time with which the races are itself? When do you expect to abolish or seriously check it in Washington, Philadelphia, Baltimore, or in your beloved Harlem? I conceive you the counsel of finality. You can doubtless speak what is going to take place ten thousand years from now. But our chief present concern is with the generations which must live and move and have their experiences now challenge you to make a concrete test of my proposition. Let the colored members of your class and any high grade white block in New York City. The adjacent cooperative and a little become whole block would be black. The Common Sense And Segregation James Weldon Dr. Kelly Miller, Dr. Howard University, Washington, D.C. W. deeg, Dr. Miller My dear Dr. Johnson: Saturday, Mar. 26, 1927 process would proceed with equal swiftness and with equal certainty. N with or without the law. N with or without the consequence cause his segregation and no amount of fist shaking will alter this obvious fact. Essentially Satisfied If you do not see that the colored people are already essentially satisfied with segregation, then your powers of observation must be very poor. I tried my best here in Washington to combat the legal fixup of segregation at a time when I was not deemed advisable for the N. A. A. C. P. so make the local appeal. After six weeks of strenuous effort reaching practically every church and prominent individual, I was barely able to rise two hundred dollars from a hundred thousand well favored people, at the very moment of greatest jeopardy. If you think you might have greater success, I invite you down to try it. I wonder how much you have raised in Harlem in this behalf, except through card tournaments and baby shows. You have endorsed "Niger Heaven" as being an accurate and artistic portrayal of the self-disforged life of Harlem, the midst of which you and you colored co-wokers live and move with seeming complacency. Not Ghetto I have been fighting segregation as long as you have, although I do not light as one who bears the air blindly, but with a clearly perceived objective, to prevent humiliating legal limits which would pen the Negro ghetto of hated historical connotation. But I cannot bring my mind to consent to the proposition that the section of the city where Negro live is necessarily a ghetto. I have not that brand of infidelity, but has had no diminutive presence of the white man to add nobility to my beauty. N. A. A. C. P. Has Done Noble Work The N. A. A. C. P. has done noble work in combating segregation. The broad ganged decision of the Supreme Court in 1971 has effectively, but still as had no diminishing effect. Indeed, if the court has judged that case against us, we should not have segregation or slave segregation than we have today, although it would unplugly be more irreplaceable and impressive. I hope that the N. A. A. C. P. will secure the million dollar segregation fund which it seeks. It will doubtless require some sub fund to maintain our legal right to own the land of the issue. I warn you of the importance of self, and not to try to deceive the race that any sum of money or any amount of fighting is going to the white man remains as long as the white man retains prejudice and arrogant attitude. We must invoke the law because there is no supporting public compulsion of the law. The very judges whose sworn compulsions them to, resolve the law in our behalf have the same positive attitude as the rest of the race. Separate Schools Twin Offspring Segregation and separate schools are the twin offspring of common parent, the population constitutes a considerable proportion of the population it will be assigned to separate schools and to separate resident areas. Another advantage of separate schools are that they understand both. We contrast separate schools where these schools with segregation but good judgment should convince us that we can destroy neither although we may mitigate their further burden. In the city of Washington, our most ardent N. A. A. P. advocates, are trustees, teachers and separate schools. The extend the good features of those schools and praises them before the world. There is the basic free of division, in order to be consistent, you ought to send out a broadside holding up all such persons to public authority and planners for jim-crow schools. New Orleans Segregation Victory While I am indulging the letter the paper falls under my age setting that the Supreme Court has been segregation case the same way as did its Louisville prototype years ago. But you know as well as I do that it is not likely to have any more decisive effect than segregation in that city then it is in Louisville during the last decade. The N. A. A. C. P. has an important radial function to perform, but censorship falls out when you cannot determine what is race theology or monopolistic race patriotism. Whatever you assess the preoperative of exposing race to the public, who think as independently and as visually as yourself, like orbis, your occupation will be soon gone. BY A. C.

S. CHURCH Pastor And Church Colored HOT SPRINGS, ARK., (By Carl Murphy)—This town has the most unusual church in the South, if not in the United States. Its pastor, choir and congregation are colored but its attendance is mostly white. The pastor is the Rev. Joseph Hill who came here twelve years ago from Los Angeles, and built up what is known as the Ranooke Baptist Church. In addition to the word Ranooke, the electric sign in front announces that this is HILLS church. Dr. Hill was born in Virginia, but is a graduate of Baltimore elementary schools and Morgan College and regards himself as a Bal- I went to church Sunday night at 1:45. "Sit anywhere," the usher told me. Already the middle aisle was nearly filled with whites and a smacking of colored. By 8:15 when service began, the building was filled for the third time that day. whites making up 60 per cent of the congregation. There was congregational singing and an anthem by a choir of 30 before Dr. Hill not down to the business of handling the race question without gloves. Taking as his subject, "Paul Aboard," and using as his text Acts 35-31. "Except these abide in the ship they cannot be saved." Dr. Hill declared that Paul's presence on the ship saved the lives of the board passengers. It's good thing to have in our midst, he said, some one who is in touch with God. God would not permit the white South to live except for the pravers of the Negro. Dr. Hill said as the audience gasped. He adduced the wealthy visitors who are here taking the baths, never to neglect the opportunity of helping any colored church. Speaking of dependence of whites upon the praver of the Negro, Dr. Hill recalled the first night a steamer of the Weems Line from Baltimore sailed up the James River using a newly invented searchlight. As the light shaved the shores, he said, whites who saw it fled in an appearance to the colonies of folk in his own home. Dr. Hill said he'd dozen entered unceremoniously begging his mother, "Aunt me for me." The preacher lauded the Supreme Court whose recent decision kills the white Democratic primary system in the South, and told his audience of the existence of signs in certain parks of the South which read "Negro don't let the sun go down on you here." Destroy those signs and the condition back of them, whenever you see them, Dr. Hill told the whites. Outside one of the townsfolk explained Dr. Hill's large white congregation by saying that they came because they "liked to hear him wear them out." Offered White Pulpit Dr. Hill received the other day a telegramine offer to conduct a three weeks revival for a Swedish Church in Kansas. He is considering it. Each summer he has conducted vacation services for a white church in Canada. To this latter place he turned down the call to a white church which offered him $5,200 home and auto. Pickens Combination Dr. Hill is a six footer and weighs over two hundred. On the platform he appears a combination of Booker T. Washington and William Pickens. He has Washington's gift of using homely illustrations, and he has Pickens's gift of smiling while he is putting dynamite under the Dive theories of race superiority. No Segregation A white woman who entered the church the other Sunday asked Dr. Hill "are there reserved seats for us." "No," was the reply, "we do not segregate you in this church." Ku Klux Townspeople have not always been pleased with the minister's views on the race problem. Once he was "I know you think I am the worse woman in the world, to come to your apartment at this hour of the night," said the girl. "I do," replied Leslie. "But not for that reason. I am surprised that you had nerve enough to come after the way you treated me," he said bitterly. BEGIN 'Three Wives' Call Vernon 6016 Bruce R. F. Cobb threatened with lynching and another time the Ku Klux marched twice around his church. Not knowing what it was about he circled around behind them in his car looking for a place to park his car. The Toad Story Dr. Hill tells the story of opening his pulpit once to the visiting white minister of First Baptist Church. This preacher was a native of Mississippi and a graduate of Yale. In his discourse, he advised the colored people to be satisfied with the opportunities the whites opened to them and not to be ambitious and self assertive. After this address Dr. Hill declares he did not reply, but merely told the story of a toad which croaked dismally from a field where it lay pierced by the spike of a farmer's harrow. A mocking bird unable to sing because of the disturbance flew down to the field and asked the toad to be quiet so that its beautiful song might be heard. Whereupon the toad replied. I wish you had this spike in your back. Then we'd see what kind of noise you'd make. CHICAGO·BIDDING WITH BALTIMORE FOR CONFERENCE Both Cities Want A. M. E. General Session—Decision April 6th (By Carl Murphy) INDIANAPOLIS, IND. The full executive committee of the A. M. E. General Conference will meet here, April 6th, to select the place of the 1928 General Conference of the church. A year ago the committee accepted the invitation of Bishop W. T. Vernon to meet next year in this city. Subsequently, Bishop Vernon cancelled the bid when he discovered that acting as host to the conference did not mean that he was to have complete control of the entertainment, concessions, etc., connected with the meeting. The handling of the funds and the general control of the session, officials explain is always vested in the conference itself. Baltimore has already sent in its bid to the committee which will sit here. Baltimore's invitation is also supported by the entire Baltimore Conference, including pastors of Maryland, Washington and Virginia. Chicago is likewise bidding for the Conference, and in view of the fact that Bethel Church has purchased a new $450,000 church and community house there, it is likely that the committee will vote to carry the inspiration of the great Conference gathering there. [ Union Bapt. Church The beautiful morning of last Sunday brought to us a large congregation who apparently left feeling that their attendance at University was worth their effort. The pastor's from the subject, "The Gospel of Another Chance," was given with a forcefulness and vigor which evidently moved the great audience far beyond the usual limits of the service nine candidates for baptism entered the waters to the great delight of an unusually sympathetic crowd of witnesses, being the first Sunday. The university was observed and the very fine response of the membership was in evidence also a considerable number of visitors, the number of members and the hand of fellow-communion table to the Lord. The pastor made announcement of the beginning next Sunday night of a series of four sermons under the general subject, the second coming of Sunday night's topic will discuss "Prophesy and Its Fulfillment." Sunday night, "March 20, The Gospels: The Times." On March 20, the subject chosen is "The Coming of the King." The night of closing number, the first Sunday night in April, is "The Millennium and the General Judgment." These sermons are to take the lecture form in the serious attention of the congregation to the Bible readings upon this wondrous and important doctrine. Announcement also was made for the holding of pre-Easter Evangelistic service continuing for two weeks closing Friday night. A deep and sincere effort is to be made to reach the souls and the many in our community who have strained away from their first love, the prayer meetings, extending throughout the city, will be held as an adgment to the Evangelist. Religious Drama Played At Royal Mrs. Ryan Coleman and her group of organized players presented the religious drama, "The Way To The Cross," to a large and appreciative audience at the Royal Simpson church I. The drama, which has played nearly all the city churches, with both a financial and spiritual success was presented for the benefit of Tabernacle M. E. church, Fall. Bishop Hartzell Returns New Orleans, La.—Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell, for many years a missionary in Africa, the founder of New Orleans University, and the first editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, has returned, and was given a reception at Wesley A.

Mrs. Florence Williams Scores Modern Fads At Woman's Day Meet ASSIGNS FEMALES IMPORTANT ROLE Also Speaker At All Day "The world is not in need of women who are engaged in powdering their faces, rouging their cheeks and rolling their hose, but the demand is for women who will do clean constructive thinking." declared the Rev. Mrs. Florence F. Williams in the Women's Day sermon at Bethel A. M. E. church Sunday morning. The Rev. Mrs. Williams was speaking upon the subject, "Woman's Place In World Redemption." She carefully outlined the part that women have played throughout the Christian era and drew approva from her congregation. "She has done what she could. Again and again the scholarly minister declared that man would be a complete failure without the aid of the "weaker sex." Illustrations of Biblical and modern times were used to create a vivid picture of the female in the advancement of the kingdom. The afternoon service was given over to the annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias. Mrs. Terrell Seakens Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, widow of the late Judge Robert H. Terrell was the speaker at the evening service. Her subject was "Moral Courage." The entire services of the day were in charge of the ladies of the church. Several impressive music numbers were rendered by them. For Rev. C. S. Briggs Farewell Reception The farewell reception, tendered last Friday evening, by the members of Centennial M. E. Church, Caroline and Bank streets, to the pastor, Rev. Charles S. Briggs, was the biggest and best of all the receptions given him during his five years of service, according to expressions coming from many of the members. The sum of $105.00 was presented the pastor by the membership, the junior ushers and the senior ushers. Brief remarks expressing the sentiments of the various organizations of the church were given by William LeCompte, Exhorter; by John W. Goldsborough, local preacher, and John H. Hughes, Steward. Mrs. Sarah Mitchell was chairman of the reception committee; Luther Mitchell was master of ceremonies. An excellent musical program was rendered by the children of the Sunday School, and the Frederick Douglass Glee Club and Orchestra. A recitation, a solo, by Miss Milred Brummel, and two pleasing organ selections. The Quartet from Rigogon Infare, were features of the program. Refreshments were served in the lecture room of the church. CHURCH, Linden avenue and Biddle street, will present the— PENELOE ART CLUB in A MUSICAL AND LITERARY PROGRAM Sunday, March 27th, 1997.

Knox Chaplain of Columbia Uni srity "Therefore, if thou bring thy gifts to the altar, leave thy gift to the congregation to the way; first be recounted to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift," Matt. 5:23-24. Of all the sayings of Jesus, this is one of the most notable. It states precisely when, and under what circumstances, our worship is acceptable to God. Life, it is sometimes said, consists of two major components: worship toward and our duty toward man. But to Jesus, life was not thus divided into two compartments. According to his teaching, worship and conduct, faith and action, were inseparably related, and the striking thing I this declaration is this—that he makes the performance of our duty toward God. Doe- berly the performance of our duty toward man. Here he puts conduct first and worship as proceeding from it. The first requirement of religion is, he says, to be reconciled with man: for then and then only, can we be reconciled with God. To overcome the differences, the misunderstandings, the animosities, which estrange men from each other, and to establish fellow gods, we must be intolerable. Unless this is done, worship is of no avail. If this is neglected, we cannot approach God. And to achieve this supreme good, to be reconciled with God through reconciliation with men, Christ demanded that we be willing to do everything in our power to help bring back. We are not to be deterred by false pride or a wrong sens of honor; for then what is called pride or honor is made an obstacle to brotherhood. It is both false and wrong. We must be ready to forgive, not once or seven times for it; with still seven for it is God's nature to forgive and we are to be like him. If another has injured us, we are not to retaliate, to "got even," by giving back as good—or as bad—as we received; for such action does not lead to reconciliation with God, but to wider. And evil is not to be overcome with evil, but evil with good. WATERS' A. M. Alsquith Street Rev: M. H. Davis, Parsonage 427 A. SUNDAY, MAY 8 A. M.-Junior Church. 1. A.

K. of R. and S. the liberty wherewith Christ t entangled again with the na Evans a member of Handy A. SERMON Herein is the meaning of those difficult sayings which we have from Christ; to go, he second mile, to turn the other cheek, to give to the man who takes your hand, to give all for the object of changing foo into friend, of healing the divisions which separate men, and of effecting reconciliation. Christ did not teach a negative, obstructive pacifism, neither did he ignore facts. Rather, he put in the foreground the positive purpose of adjusting all difficulties, of creating and maintaining the conditions he demanded that everything he done to attain this end. Is not the great task which confronts us today to do even that which Christ directed; namely, so to overcome the differences, the frictions, the animosities, the antonomies among men, that we may live together in peace and really know God's reign on earth, so to overcome the unreconciled differences, the inflammable material, from which wars arise, are we willing to follow the principles of Christ? That is the question we all must face. There is no escape from it. "He that is not with me against me" says Christ, and he that gathere not, scarceth. Christ's principles are hard, especially when we come to apply them. They do not always conform to worldly wisdom. They involve risk and sacrifice just as they did in the days of the early disciples. So, when he said, is a good motto for a bank or a railroad, but a poor motto for a Christian man or a Christian nation. But if we believe our conduct is right, why not in that right and our ability to communicate with our children is wrong why not learn it, and then make it right? Why not hear the decision and play the game? If we are ready to reconsider, to make reconciliation our foremost aim, we can surely trust the people of our community, our customed generosity and fairness, and the breath shall be healed. "If ye love me," says Christ "keep my commandments. Why call me Lord? If ye do not the things that I command?" Of those to whom much has been given, much shall be he received among nations, among individuals, shall be the one that serves. M. E. CHURCH n near Orleans D. D.

BUSINESS A WEEKLY Co Information Bureau: This o ng, business opportunities stock Your Cab Co Is Year's F Lack Of Scientific Busi Accountin The failure of the Your Cab Company, the largest transportation venture of its kind ever launched by the race in any city, was brought about by a lack of honest and efficient cost to the company, leading to those close to the organization. It is predicted that the failure will wipe out of existence the assets of all of the stockholders, and that unless the court intervenes and allows certain stockholders to reorganize the company, there will be a total loss. The investment made and broadcast throughout the country as of December 31, Walter H. Lee, the president of the concern, gave a surplus of $13,000. In this statement, it was also shown that the concern had done $300,000 worth of business. Just 54 days after that, his company had surplus of $13,000 in surplus was sold to satisfy a judgment of $8,700. There are those who hold that President Lee, gave these misleading figures to bolster up the stock selling figures in the market. The statement was to be a foremerer of a campaign to add additional paper to save the immediate collapse of the concern. It is evident that from the time the cab company was the cab company, either did not develop an accurate cost accounting system, or that they did not carry on the business of the concern basis to the relations of its cost to its income. May Save Concern Some of the stockholders, headed by Dr. Charles Thompson, Dr. R. A. Williams, and William Randolph Cohen, are making an effort to retain possession of the company. These individuals did not lose it was not within his rights when the sale of the $200,000 corporation was consummated. One of the plans suggested has been to have Dr. Charles Thompson placed at the head of the people named Your Mester Company, and to conduct its affairs until it has repaid the $8,700 mortgage.

IS SOLID AND SOUND Present Head of Local Organization Deserving of Highest Praise For Wonderful Progress Made By During Past Five Years It seems like only a few years back when the Southern Life Insurance Company bid fair to become only a memory to the people of Baltimore. The company had undergone several changes and was in a terrific struggle for its existence when the present directors came to the rescue. Almost like a mushroom it has sprung up "over night" so to speak. It was as if Aladdin had rubbed his magic lamp and wished that this organization might become the leading insurance company in the State of Maryland, for such is the reputation of this organization now. With the indomitable courage of its president, Willard W. Allen, who is head of a large real estate concern as well as grand master of Marianne well known men, like Alfred Nixon.

The State Insurance Department has had occasion several times to congratulate the office of the Southern Life on the remarkable progress they have made and to commend them for the sound business sense which has characterized their efforts. Not only has the Southern Life paid over half a million dollars in sick and death claims, but every claim is read to date. Prominent citizens throughout Maryland have aligned themselves with the company and life insurance in the South in a manner that will allow them to employ twice the force of colored men and women now engaged.

Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Union Baptist Church Notes The past Sunday at Union was a day of unusual interest and splendid attendance notwithstanding the threatening weather. The Sunday School, while a little bit slow in coming, had an attendance well above the average mark. The congestion in this feature of our work is really being felt. The housing of the younger department has reached the point of real embarrassment. Still we are seeking more, and propose to have them come in as long as there is standing room. The Easter committee for the Sunday School program is energetically working to give us a service of the highest quality. Large numbers of the children are to take a part this year and the parents and congregation, generally, may be prepared for a real treat. The pastor has tentatively promised to give to the Sunday Easter Service the hour for the regular morning service for worship. The sermons given by Dr. Over were of unusual interest. The morning subject, "The Print of the Nails", seemed to have been greatly enjoyed. He stressed in the development of his subject that the positive evidences of real Christian character must be seen by the men of the world if they are to be expected to accept religion as a personal help. At the evening service, the continuation of the subject, "The Second Coming of Christ", was discussed under the title, "The Signs of the Times". The interest was such that an in-flight to keep back a very fine attendance, the best of the series to follow is, "The Coming King". The helpful feature about these sermons is the fact that a printed outline of the topic, with scriptural reference is circulated among the congregation. Announcement was made of the organization of a series of cottage prayer meetings to be held throughout the city in connection with the special Evangelistic services of Passion Week. The object is to secure a large group for prayer, which will not only deepen spiritual interest in the church itself, but will develop also an effective means for the reaching lost souls. The places designated for these meetings will be published and any persons who are interested in the community are cordially invited to attend.

From a company that was staggering along years back it has grown by leaps and bounds under the experienced and efficient leadership of its present officers until today its standing is unquestioned, and its soundness and stability rank with the best and largest institutions in the country. The Southern Life employs a large group of race men and women in its offices and in the field. Everyone of its claims are paid to date—and are paid promptly. Its growth over 1926 is almost astounding and it bids fair to become one of the largest race insurance companies in the State of Maryland.

Such a type of meeting will become a part of their curriculum during their period of supervised teaching. E. P. Moore, teacher-in-charge Handicapped pupils who would otherwise have to get along the best they could have to do, have the full opportunity for development at this school. Uppled pupils now number 35. These are divided into two classes of 18 each. Plans are being made for opening another class of 35 pupils in the school, among the kindles whose pupils are twisted and dwarfed, very few can be found who are not learning a handcraft which will enable them to make their own living. Boys and girls alike are learning to work together, girls are twisted and dwarfed, Handicapped pupils are brought to the school in a bus and taken home in the afternoons. Their lunches are served to them at the school lunchroom. The six regular grades and the handicapped classes there are two groups of subnormal pupils. Boys and girls whose mental development is below their ages are learning the practical trades in their own way. Individualism is the key word of the department. The woodworking classes are under the direction of Mr. Moore, and over the direction of Mr. McGraw, who objects which indicate substantial progress. One of the interesting contributions is a small phonograph constructed by a crank. The instrument plays standard records in spite of its crudeness. The school has managed to keep a fair average of attendance despite the fact that most of the pupils come from families who are more or less temporary and do not benefit for the reason semester is 50%.

Miller To Make The Star Life Of Baltimore Is Guide Character. Well Repres Service! On all sides we hear the word service. It starts in the church, runs the gamut of city and national government, and pervaces private business in every direction. Yet it is doubtful if any business was ever founded with a more sincere desire for public service than was the Star Life Insurance Company of Balti- more. In thinking or speaking of the Star Life, one necessarily sees in the background its president, founder and dominating factor. George W. Miller. A man of dynamic character, of tireless energy and possessing the ability to make snap decisions which are fair, he has guided the company from its inception in 1908 through the subsequent years of its growth. Mr. Miller has seen the company which he found outgrow the modest quarters which he provided from his own pocket, and has met the need for more space by erecting a building. The most important of all however, Mr. Miller has seen the business policies which he laid down at the beginning of the Star Life Insurance Company, tested time and again, and has found them sound. He works with no thought of resting on the oars, no idea of being content and retiring. The Star Life Insurance Company is making remarkable strides along the road to success. Already it has outgrown the epithet of a "small company", and from the Star Building at 529 West Franklin street. Baltimore, are directed operations all over the state of Maryland, and in the District of Columbia. Mr. Miller's chief idea is to develop, through his company, "health insurance". In 1908, when the company impressed him as being capable of great development. The health business appealed to Mr. Miller however, because of the 1100 Call Vernon 6016 The Right Man the "Star" Shine ded By A Man Of Ability And presented In Washington opportunity it offered for public service. The workingman, thought Mr. Miller, needs his salary each week. No matter what the circumstances are, he needs that salary every seven days to meet the expenses which continue if he is ill or well. The regularity of the income was a big point, he believed. He also believed that the average working man could easily invest a small sum each week in insurance which, when he became ill, would guarantee the continuation of his income. On this basis .e. Star Life Insurance Company was founded in 1908, and on this basis it has continued. In the administration of the affairs of the Star Life Insurance Company Mr. Miller is assisted by his brother, Mr. Ezra O. Miller, who is secretary of the company since he was founded. The company is represented in Washington by: O. H. Bowley and he continues to increase his quota from year to year. He will be found in the Stewart Building on 6th and D streets. Man Found Dead An unidentifier man was found dead by police in the rear yard of 805 Vine street. Friday.

The fracture was later said to have been the result of a fall that the man received while drunk.

The "prompt paying" policy of the Company, which was the slogan of the late President, George A.

HE Signing of the contract in Atlanta, Ga., on March 16th by which the NATIONAL BENEFIT INSURANCE COMPANY, of Washington, D. C., took over the business of the Standard Life Insurance Company stands as another milestone in the road of Negro progress and achievement. In addition it stands as another monument to the business sagacity and foresight of the pioneer of Insurance men, Samuel Wilson Rutherford, who in 1898 founded the company to which he has given twenty-eight years of uninterrupted service. The growth of the NATIONAL BENEFIT through this period has been both steady and sound, and the institution has through its life time commanded wide attention for its capable and conservative management. There is little doubt that the high position which the company occupied even prior to this transaction was due to the leadership and ability of Mr. Rutherford, who has served as its Secretary-Manager since the date of its organization. During the past decade we have seen the beginning of numerous business enterprises among Negroes, and especially has the number increased in the field of insurance. There has been a great deal of talk about the advantages of combinations and consolidations, with their attendant economies of operation, but it remained for THE NATIONAL BENEFIT to put these theories into practice in a big way. We have noted in recent years some of the greatest mergers between banks, insurance companies, and other commercial enterprises among the other Some of the Men Respo M. H. T. Much praise is due the Field and Clerical forces who kept the business going and who served as an inspiration to the army of policyholders of Standard Life to keep their insurance in force. That their efforts have borne fruit is attested to by the fact that over Five Millions of insurance was put on the books during the past two years, and approximately Twenty-three Million was retained, to be added to the already large volume now carried by THE NATIONL BENEFIT. It is one thing to see the benefits of such a combination as this, but it is quite another matter to work out a complete plan for its consummation that meets the tests of good insurance procedure. Here was the first point at which President R. H. Rutherford evidenced that keen judgement which has carried through all of the negotiations, for he went to one of the foremost firms of Insurance actuaries in the country. Miles M. Dawson and Son—and secured the services of Mr. Alfred B. Dawson, the junior member of the firm, to give his personal supervision and attention to the handling of the plan. The firm of Miles M. Dawson and Son, of New York City, is recognized as one of the leading firms in matters of insurance procedure, and the plan as worked out will thus be assured of a continuation of the counsel and guidance of men whose contribution to the field of actuarial science has had an inestimable value in the development of present insurance practice. Counsel for the NATIONAL BENEFIT in closing this transaction was the firm of Candler, Thomson and Hirsch, represented by Mr. W. D. Thomson. Quoting from a statement made by President R. H. Rutherford, when he was congratulated on the successful outcome of the plan- The National Benefit ne On the Lives Total Assets of the Company are They have the Largest Em 300 OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES AT THE HOME OFFICE AND BRANCHES.

THE NATIONAL BENEFIT and the Standard Life are the first two companies of unusual magnitude in their resources, operating among our people, to carry forward this modern business idea to a successful conclusion. The joining of these two companies gives to the race an institution with $75,000,000 worth of business in force, and makes THE NATIONAL BENEFIT the largest financial institution of our race. It is interesting to note and study the leaders and the forces which were responsible for the successful combination of the resources and man power of two institutions which have made their impress upon the economic development of the Negro race. The early history of Standard Life as a corporation organized in the State of Georgia, in 1913, is well known to those who have followed the course of Negro business. Starting from the very bottom it grew to the point where in January, 1925, there was approximately Twenty-six Millions of insurance in force on its books, and with assets of nearly Three Million Dollars, it represented the largest life insurance company of the race doing an exclusive ordinary life business. At this time the business was taken over by The Southern Insurance Company, a white institution of Nashville, Tennessee. To see the company pass out of the control of Negroes was without a doubt a blow to our racial pride, and the only hope of future control and ownership lay in the idea that at some time in the future the Negroes might be able to exercise the option responsible For the B ble For the Biggest Insurance Merger In the History of t M.

FERGUSON Assistant Secretary in Charge, Standard Division, Atlanta, Ga. "Service to the public was the main motive which prompted the NATIONAL BENEFIT to consider this deal." But the finest of motives would have availed nothing had they not been backed up by enthusiastic and persistent endeavor of this brilliant executive. Mr. Rutherford began his career with THE NATIONAL BENEFIT as an agent and received his training in life insurance at the hands of his capable father. His position as executive head of the largest Negro financial institution in the world is a well deserved one, and there is no doubt that this represents to him not the climax but the beginning of an era of larger service and endeavor. In the handling of details attendant upon the closing of the deal Mr. Rutherford was aly assisted by Mortimer F. Smith, Assistant Secretary of THE NATIONAL BENEFIT, one of their most trusted and valuable officers, and John R. Pinkett, Agency Director of their Ordinary Department. These men have a quiet and unassuming manner but underneath is a courage and a dare-to-do spirit that served to overcome the various obstacles which arose. All are agreed that this present combination could not have become an actuality had it not been for the cooperative spirit and support of officials and employees of both companies, who labored zealously for the consummation of this epoch-making transaction. In the initial stages of this matter THE NATIONAL BENEFIT was materially assisted by Honorable Scipio A. Jones, a well known attorney of Little Rock, Arkansas, and C. B.

After a year of operation by The Southern Insurance Company the business was sold to a group of white capitalists of Arkansas, who organized the Standard Life of Arkansas exclusively for the purpose of taking over this business. It is from the hands of this group that the entire organization passes into the hands of THE NATIONAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. During the two years of operation under white management, the main office of the company has always remained in Atlanta, and the Home Office personnel, Field Force, and Branch Office organization has been held practically intact. Uppermost in the minds of those who have remained with the Standard Life, under the leadership of T. J. Ferguson, General Manager, was the one thought of holding together and conserving the business until some plan could be worked out whereby ownership of the company could be brought back to our group. Associated with him in this program were: Dr. C. C. Cater, Medical Director; Aaron Day, Jr., Director of Agencies; Jos. H. B. Evans, Supervisor of Branch Offices; C. E. Arnold, Assistant Secretary; J. C. Arnold, Conservation; A. M. Carter, Statistician; J. B. Blayton, Auditor; the Agency Managers, Field Force, and Home Office employees. With this as their goal there was no question but that the offical group in Atlanta would enter into the project sponsored by THE NATIONAL BENEFIT and give it their loyal and enthusiastic support. y of the Negro Business [Picture of a man in a suit and tie].

Credit must also be given to the Negro leaders whose faith and hope that the Standard would ultimately return to Negro ownership, influenced them to stand solidly behind this movement; to the helpful attitude of the Negro press, reaching as it does the rank and file of our people; to the other insurance and financial institutions whose friendly attitude is evidenced by their intense interest in every movement which represents a forward step in business progress; and last but not least, to the vast army of policyholders of both companies who realize the fact that they can make bigger and better opportunities for our people thru their allegiance to institutions which have as their purpose the husbanding and conserving of the resources of our race. Prominent among the Negro leaders and deserving of special mention is Attorney A. H. Martin, of Cleveland, Ohio, who initiated and carried to a successful conclusion the long-pending suit to clarify and permanently settle the Standard Life affairs. This resulted in a decree of the Court approving the acquisition of Standard Life by THE NATIONAL BENEFIT as the best method of completely cleraining up the situation that existed in the past.
