MD. JIM CROW CAR BILL TABLED 3 COMMISSION BILLS IN HAND OF LEGISLATURE 3 COMMISSION BILLS IN HAND OF LEGISLATURE Jim Crow Car Bill Tabled Tuesday In Senate Committee LEADERS STILL HOPE TO BRING IT OUT Governor Ritchie And Curran Are Asked To Use Their Influence The three bills of the Maryland Inter-Racial Commission are in the hands of the State Legislature which enters its final session this week. These bills, according to T. J. Callaway are, first, a bill to abolish the jum crow car law in the state, introduced by Sonator A. L. McCardle, of Frederick; second, a bill to equize county teachers' salaries, introduced by Mr. Peverly, of Prince George's county; and third, a bill to make the Inter-Racial Commission a permanent body, also introduced, by Mr. Bill Tabled The jim crow car bill was tabled Monday in the Senate Judiciary committee. It was a surprise as an ten members, except Senators Beck and Kennedy, had decided they personal bills of the bill of the committee are: G. L. Sasser, Upper Maribor. W. J. Mitchell, La Piatn. S. C. Beck, Chestertown. O. Harrison, Berlin. W. A. Gunter, Cumberland. L. C. Beauchamp, Princess Anne. D. B. Chambers, 3339 Windsor Ave. E. J. Colgan, 330 E. 22nd st. I. H. Bouse, 317 S. Ann S. B. Kenned, 80 E. 22nd st. B. 823 Brooks Lane. Make Good In a letter made public today, T. J. Calloway, secretary of the Interracial Commission, declared that these bills are a test as to what will make good. He had been given assurances by friends and by Governor Ritchie that an effort would be made still to get the bill out of the committee. He also has been asked to use his good offices for the measures. School Salaries On the question of school saireas, Mr. Calloway points out that Baltimore equalized its colored teachers' salaries sometime ago and that these improved conditions attract to Baltimore constant migration. The counties, in turn, because farmers there are unwilling to remain where conditions for the education of their children are poor. The best farmers, Mr. Calloway saireas, no longer migrate to the escape to the suburbs and poorly paid teachers. Many of the schools now carried on in some of the counties are a mere shame, a wasteful expenditure of public funds. A poorly paid, half grafted teacher is a worst investment than a half-starved cow or scrub horse. Hearings Hearings before the House Committee on Education showed that in some of the counties the turn-over of teaching staff and some schools have been forced to remain closed at least part of the year because no teacher could be retained for the salary. The salaries paid do not enable the meeting conditions during the school year to save nothing of the vacation period and the expense of summer work. And can the county afford to buy the Mr. McCullough degree and the question by saying, "Can the emerger afford to buy good fertilizer and proper machinery, or a good feed of cattle?" Promises Of Support C. Callaway said today he had the promises of support from T. McCullough president of the state; Dudley E. president from seven Annes County; and A. L. McCullough, senator from Frederick county.

PORO COLLEGE CASE IS NOW SET FOR APRIL THE 11TH saturday, April 2, 1927 APRIL 11 NEW DATE FOR THE MALONE CASE Malone's Friends Claim Postponement Is Sign Of His Strong Case OTHERS BELIEVE A SETTLEMENT IS NEAR O. P. Machine ST. LOUIS, MO., (Special) —April 11th is the new date set for a hearing on the petition of Aaron E. Malone to place a permanent receiver in Poro College. The case was all set last week he hearing of the case in judge Malone's court. The room was died but the absence of newspaper material had been informed before and that both parties would ask in a postponement of the case. Postponement Friends of Malone point out that the several postponements in this case have been asked for by Malone. Malone was and is assisting for half of his wife's $2- $4,000 property and manufactured articles which pay the government's tax of from $3,000 to $50,000. If Malone's case had been weak, his friends point out. Mrs. Malone's havers would have been willing to take the case, but she also have secured an injunction restraining the white receiver from acting in that capacity at Poole College. She would have given them, Mrs. Malone's friends claim, two chances to receive the receiver, that is, there would have been one hearing before this failed second hearing on the petition to make the receiver permanent. Willing. Continuing postponement, these friends claim, is an evidence of the fact that Mrs. Malone is willing to give the case out of court and avoid excessive court and receiver's fees. Malone's friends also say that the fact that they have been quiet does not mean they have been guilty. They point out that when Malone married Mrs. Malone she took her husband on equality with her, and gave him a share of the presidency of company. Made Poro Big They so further and say that Poro College was never a big national institution until Mr. Malone took the book-selling methods and the art of the Poro salesman-system. Ms. Malone's Friends' Denial both of these assertions vehemently. They claim that at the marriage of the couple, Malone was a poor, poverty-stricken man on the business, not on继承 his position, but largely in spite of his opposition. They claim that the system of establishing branch offices in the large cities was Mrs. Malone's own thought and enter-prise that Mr. Malone openly accepted it. Evidence Meanwhile, Mrs. Malone's friends continue to collect and send in to her evidence of Malone's social activities in various parts of the country, and the evidence is anticipated if the case ever comes to trial. Malone's lawyer is Edward Forstall, who with Conrad Pacenb, the lawyer for the judge in the case, are all members of the same Republic political machine in the city. Mrs. Malone's lawyers are Nagei and Congreves, both white, and Honor Philips. Newton's illness caused the postponement of the trial last week.

RELY LESS ON RELIGION SAYS DARROW HERE The Negro is going to have pretty rough sledding for some time to come and can only "cash in" on recent Supreme Court decisions in proportion as he, himself, takes advantage of them, Clarence Darrow, nationally known criminal lawyer and defender of human rights told the AFROAMERICAN in an interview Monday. Darrog Speaking particularly of the Texas Pride decision, Mr. Darrow said: "You may expect the white lawmakers of the South to get around this law some way, but the way to meet such opposition will be to divide your vote. "Crossing the river into Texas, the North and West, the Negro vote must change its more and more as it penetrates the South. "The democrats of the South will mass their opposition to Negro suffrage so long as Negroes mass their against democrats. Divide your vote with others." Commenting on his recent reception in Washington where hundreds of people were turned away from the veiling event, particularly did I note the changing spirit of independence and determination of the men involved in the marked improvement in economic advancement as expressed in dress and seeming prosperity. The only questions asked by the AFRO representative as he kept a number of people waiting to see him in the Belvedere Hotel in New York was that he hoped and was sure that the Negro was making gains, he did not want to over express this optimism and set by American standards and have a hard time ahead. It will be a long fight towards real freedom I repeat what I said that you must understand the weapons and less on religion.

Page Three AFRO PUTS ON A NEW DRESS THIS WEEK Larger, Clearer Type Is Resul sult Of Twenty Years Experimenting AFRO READERS EXPRESS THE I R APPRECIATION No More Eyestrain Is Chorus Of Afro-American Family Everywhere the AFRO appeared in the homes of its readers Thursday in an entirely new dress of body type—a type designed to be more easily read and at the same time to conserve space and maintain neatness of appearance—and readers generally, as well as experts in printing and reading, expressed unqualified approval of the change. (This paragraph set in the new type.) Who, in the style of type, involved replacement of all matrices on Linotype machines setting the body type of the paper, results in broader and "fatter" faced letters and utilized a wider width of paper with wider waste space in the line, although the number of letters and spaces in each line remains the same. It is an improvement that is being adopted by other metropolitan newspapers. (This paragraph is set in the old type.) The new type is known to the printers as 7 point Ionie 5 on an 8 point slug, while the old type was 7 point 2 on an 8 point slug. The following examples both indicate differences in appearance, the new type being the top and the old type the lower line, both in capital letters: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP The change in appearance and legibility is equally marked, the lower line being the seen in following example, the top line being the new and the bottom line the old type: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz As may be observed, the number of letters with capital and lower case letters, is the same, yet the legibility of the new type is so much greater than one might, except for a demonstration, believe that greater space is required for each letter. This new departure is one of the latest developments in newspaper typography and wherever employee has access to the approval of a newspaper reading is extensive and of oversight experts. The AFRO is the first weekly to adopt this new 7 point type which was introduced but a short while ago and has been the sensation of the publishing world. The type has been adopted with remarkable results by 85 of the leading dailies in the country. Like New Type Mrs. Florence Ray, 1215 Drudl Hill Avenue says-"I think the AFRO a great improvement every year. I think the new type is another example of the up-to-dateness of the paper and the reading pleasure because it is easier on the eye." Mrs. Bertha Proctor—1234 Druid Avenue says—"I read the AFRO to keep abreast of the times. The New type is much plainer and is a wonderful improvement. I hope its use is continued." Mrs. Bradford James, 108 E. Center Street, says—I read the AFRO every week and would not do without it because it tells me all the news without going out to seek it. I like the new type because I read a lot at night and the new type is more distinct. Miss Ruth Diggs—554 Dolphin St., says—"The new type makes reading a pleasure. I hope the AFRO will use it altogether in the future. Mrs. Alfred Knox—2015 Druid Hill Avenue says—The new type will be appreciated by mothers because it is easier for the children to read. Maistrate Paul Johannsen of the Northwestern District says, "The new type used by the AFRO makes the paper a decideder deeper and cleaner." Dr. Daniel M. C. Casson, Optician, 1001 Block Pennsylvania avenue, says "The new type is larger and plain and will have a restful effect on the eyes." The Rev. John T. Colbert, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, says "The new type is larger and plainer and restful on the reader's eyes. We sure the many thousands of your readers will appreciate the difference."

CARDUI A Beneficial Tonic 41 Young Men And Women Enrolled During Present Session COLUMNS TO AFRO Ten Advanced Students Now On Various Newspaper Pay Rolls With contributions to this week's issue of the AFROAMERICAN covering reportorial work in all departments, magazine and editorial material, the evening class in journalism, conducted at the Douglass Hi School by the Board of Education, closes its second year's work with 41 young men and women enrolled. The class this year was divided into two sections, the first comprising an advanced group of last year's class and 28 young men and women who enrolled this year. Of the new recruits a number of students wholege and School students who can make journalism their life work and will take advance work in accredited schools of journalism. The work has included text book study, lectures and practical field work in reporting and the first class has spent writing session in master's course details of the simple story while the advanced class has studied feature story writing and source material. 196 Columns Some idea of the practical results obtained from the group may be gotten from the fact that during the last year students in the course took 10 columns of acceptable material to the AFRO-AMERICAN alone. Five members of last year's class are now registered in a newsletter while five others receive pay for contributions to the AFRO-AMERICAN and other journals. The one outstanding accomplishment of the experiment, however, has been the discovery and stimulation of the ambitions of talented young men and women and setting forth the possibilities of artistic life that has also given these women and women the definite knowledge that journalism required the same study and mastery of technique that other professions require. Developing Talent Among those who have applied their journalistic training to practical results have been Ralph Matthews, regarded as one of the most promising humorists in the field today and a member of the AMBROCAN; Maybelle Robton Chew; whose special articles in current welfare topics have attracted wide attention; Lilian Lottier, who conducts a "From A Woman's Viewpoint: Bernard Briggs, feature stories: Pearle Fisher, now teaching New York and co-curriculum at the Eileen Owens, household arts contributor to several weeklies; Margaret Williams, head of the "Scribblers"; R. Maurice Moss, special social studies and Louise Camper, short story writer. Special mention should be made of the persistent study of Robby W. Coleman, a blind member of the class, who publishes the Baltimore and Washington Coleman's Directive. The class groups enrolled this year were as follows: Beginners' Class Clara E. Harris, Marjorie L. Gross, Wilhelmina Davis, Ida G. Care, Edna F. Lee, Mae Kichards, Flossie Sawyer, Martha Williams Ethel L. Taylor, Deavera M. Boston, Faith V.

The class was organized in 1925 when a member of the AFRO staff made inquiries as to similar work in the white evening club by William N. Jones, Managing Editor of the AFRO- AMERICAN.

Rogers, Afro Correspondent Tells Of Life In Morocco MANY NEVER HAD BATH DURING LIFE Water Sold On Streets— Beggars Scratch All Day Long CASABLANCA, MOROCO—Here, in this land made famous recently by Abdel-Krim, and still earlier by its leather, I am encountering experiences so singular that it seems as if I had been taken up bodily and thrust back a thousand years into the days of Haroun-al-Raschid. Morocco, "whose history is older than that of Rome, is rightly called 'The Classic Land of the Arabian Nights'. To read of it, I have seen in the past few days, is one thing, to be quite another. I shall try my best to communicate to my readers some of the things I have seen, some of the surprises I have experienced, but which consider myself formal, indeed, if I can convey part of it. My first impression of Casablanca from the ship was that of entering a modern American seaport, except for the whiteness of the buildings; it is literally casa blanca, white house in Spanish, with a white roof. The Moor. Overhead was the bluest sky I have ever seen, which came down to meet a sea so much its own color that it was difficult to define the horizon. Over the mountains, back toward the great desert, we saw the great flood suggesting fleecy flocks of enormous sheep. Looks Like Sheep Entering the town one is reminded of Paris, except for business. Taxes, hotels, French honeys, hither and thither, the shops, with Parisian names, have the latest styles, the terrasses of the cafes are crowded with patrons sipping their books of coffee, hotels, banks, all bar for the Moorish influence in the architecture, reminding one of Thousand Years Back But wait, all this is the entree to one of the biggest sights on American can ever behold.

Overhead a huge air-plane is humming. Verily a case of the 20th Century A. D. rubbing elbows with the Second Century B. And as to the human ensemble, how to describe it? The fittest description I can give is the following: Imagine. If you will a, a Ku Kiu Kon-vention Kou. Kou. the shirt, from that of cannel coal to the fairest blonde.

Women's Faces Hidden And as to the women that would need only the shoes, that one can wear the their kohl-darkened eyes, crimsoned finger-tips, and bare heels, colored with red and black. Of course, not all the native women are thus swathed, but these my interpreter told me are not the only women which includes all Jews Christians.

Readers of Leo Africanus, the famous Negro historian, who was born near here when I shall be accounted will recall that he accounted for the swarthy color of the people by attributing it to the marriage of "white women and black men," — a period prior to his own time, the sixteenth century. In this must not be included the present European population the members of which, will be old, secretly "poisoned," will be called theophilus, theophilus took this town by culture in 1907, after a terrific bombardment.

A. C. P., has been awarded a Fellowship by the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which will enable him to spend a year in the South of France writing a novel and a book on lynching in America. The Fellowships, in the words of the Guggenheim Foundation, "are intended for men and women of high intellectual and personal qualifications who have already demonstrated unusual capacity for productive scholarship or unusual creative ability in the fine arts" and are open to citizens "irrespective of race, color or creed." The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation was established three years ago by former United States Senator and Mrs. Simon Guggenheim as a memorial to a son who died in 1922. Among 63 Mr. White is one among 63 to receive fellowships this year. One other award goes to a Negro, Nicholas G. J.

White's Comment Commencing on the award of the Fellowship, Mr. White said: "I am extremely happy that the Guggenheim Foundation should have chosen me as one of its Fellows. It will give me the necessary freedom to do the writing for which my work with the N. A. C. P. has left me little time. The great strides made during the last decade in bringing a new conception of the Negro to white people through the work of men like Roland Hayes, Countie Cullen, Paul Roberson, Elijah Johnson, Johnson and of others was this much towards the solution of this thing we call the race problem. "It is my firm conviction that the race problem is almost wholly a matter of misunderstanding. When people get to know the aspirations and accomplishments of another people walls of race and color and religion are wiped out so far as the intelligent and decent member of each group can enjoy the Gaggle of Fellowship enables me to try to do something towards this end and to utilize the material which has come to me through my work with the N.

I don't know how I shall feel away from the N. A. A. C. P. and a half years—practically all my mature life—of very close connection with a work which is almost a religion with me. The Board of Directors has most generously granted me a year's leave of absence beginning in July after our Indianapolis Conference.

Saturday, April 2, 1927 VOTERS FAVOR RACE TICKET FOR COUNCIL Sentiment Strong For Going Down Line For Three Candidates SPIRANTS CONFIDENT ON EVE OF ELECTION Final Primary Day Draws Near Shifts and countershifts of alignments and the development of a strong current of opinion on the part of the voters of the Fourth District in favor of giving support to a race ticket featured the week's political The expected peace meeting in the street, whereby the leaders would meet the shipment by eliminating nine candidates and coming out beheaded a ticket, did not materialize for the district leaders have made endorsements and all of the cane except William L. Fitzgerald withdrew, and Marse S. Callahan, who got out of the race early, did not file will go to bat in the primary next Tuesday, hoping to White Develops Strength An unusual development during the week has been growing strength. Dr. James, White, who although notice in the political game, has raised more experienced politicians similarly in the race. Political leaders say that Dr. White has an ex-college of nomination. Warner T. McGuinn. Another favorite in street corner sitting is also Warner T. McGuinn, courtesy, who is regarded as one of the ablest and most experienced of the candidates. The field, McGuinn is not only being actively supported by the Hill element in the market, but will also get the support is believed, of a large number of the Weller organization men. He presses complete confidence in his imagination and is regarded by political teachers as one of the best bets success in the general election. The 17th's Fight Robert Young, who looms in the national fight in the 17th Ward, has the acute backing of his executive is expected to make a strong strong. Young came in the fight having first espoused the candidacy of Dr. White. The fact that has carried the 17th Ward in national contested flights and is assume politician, makes him a variable candidate. Friends of Walter S. Emerson, re- cused as the organization candi- sator, and himself an executive in the 11th Ward, are confident that he will be among those who go into general election. The strength of J. Howard Payne, who made the night all along an independent and people candidate, is hard to estimate. More than 3,000 people are said to signed a petition endorsing his candidate and he has conducted a state campaign, carrying his appeal ready to the homes and organiza- tors of the voters. Full Race Ticket Fair Race The outstanding development of the week has been a trend in the part of voters towards favoring going down the line for three colored candidates. At first organization leaders worked on the theory that a compromising ticket, comprising one white and two colored candidates would stand better chances of winning in the general election, there were others, including Senator Harry O. Levin, who thought that a ticket comprising a race man, a woman and a Gentile, would harmonize matters and give better results to the general election. Vote For Three But most of the voters seem to be in the opinion that the colored candidates would grand a better chance of three of them were nominated in the primary. They point out the nature of combination tickets, in the case of the candidates in invariably open candidates, while the colored ones have been left at home, and they say they had just as well take a chance on a complete ticket. At any rate, they believe that if a complete ticket is nominated, that white Republican voters in the district will be under the same obligation to vote for them as if the matter was reversed, and that at least, this has come for a show down. The matter is Marse S. Gallaway, who got out of the fight early in the campaign, came out this week in a statement that he was supporting Warner T. Guinn. Politicians take this to mean that McGunn will have the report of Harry O. Levin in the primary and general elections. HIGH SCHOOLS MAY ADD 2 COLLEGE YRS. SAYS DR.

TWO CHILDREN FIGURE IN DIVORCE CASE Born Since Separation, Husband Now Asks Court To Divorce Him Two children alleged to have been born to his wife, Mrs. Patsy Johnson, since their separation three years ago, are the cause of a divorce filed in Circuit Court, Part 2. by Henry Johnson in which he alleges abandonment and unfaithfulness. According to the bill of complaint, the Johnsons were married in 1920, and the separation took place on December 29th, 1923. Johnson stated some time prior to their separation that he was aware of his infidelity and on an occasion when he met his wife and the co-respondent, whose name is Shieldhawk, in Johnson's Square in an argument ensued following which Johnson told his wife, that either he would leave or she must. He returned home, he says, one afternoon to find his wife gone. She is now living in a room on Gilmor street. it is said, where the man is said to be providing a home for her. There is one child as the result of their union, which is now in the home of the plaintiff's mother, in Culpeper, Va. He asks to be given the custody of the child. The divorce was filed through the office of E. Everett Lane, attorney. Masons Ask N. C. Mutual (By Geo. E.

Bledsoe's contract called for featuring. On the house boards his name first appeared alone in large letters, then changed and the names of two women players were added, all in the same size type. The arbitrator decided that while that may have technically violated the terms of the contract, there was no reason for the actor to walk out without notice.

ROYAL ROYAL Donald Heywood and Jimmy Marshall were to bring to Baltimore the "Great Sensation of 1827" and it was to again have a chance to put my stamp of approval on a brand new tie. The biggest asset is the comedy department under the handling of "Dink" Stewart and Jimmy acting as foil. The comedy used is sure laugh producing material and the house was in a continuous uprase the entire time these boys were on the board. The music is the next asset. Most of it is by Heywood and there's no denying, he knows his business, having written most of the music for Miller and other prominent shows. Especially pleasing is a song called "Come Along Mandy" which has been written in "Simon & Schuster" and Percy Verwayne feature the number. Percy is well known here having made quite a bit opposite Evelyn Preer in pictures. The chorus worked a little slow on Monday due to the fact that most of the girls were green, not others in "Simon & Schuster" and their first appearance before an audience. It is easy to sit out front and be entertained, but try and exchange places with all of these girls for just one show. There is where you will receive your "Great Sensation", a queer feeling that is foreign to most of us. However the girls stood their places and took into it, perhaps a little slow and weak with their singing, but as it progressed it became better. Lottie Brown, soprano, joined with one voice, featured one of his woods compositions, which was a sol-out. She has great possibilities: self-d- Geraldine Goodwin is in several seats and she handles them well. She has been endowed with a peculiar gift from the curent. She is shown to her best advantage in a Mexican dance routine. "Pumples" and Reggie York handle bally dance routine, while "Bill" Bally handles with snap and pen. Russell and Vernon are placed in character hits. Thea STREET RBAN Pira 2 DAYS ONLY again for a long Fairbanks' outsta- cen you will want will. Yes, you will is greatest.

W. H. Moses, corresponding secretary of the Home Mission Board of the National Association, left as a clue when she disappeared from their 7th avenue home, Saturday. With her were also Misses Hortense Nipson and Ruth Hutchins, both of Long Island, and former school mates of Miss Moses who were visiting the Moses family at the time, the three were殴ed. Stage Struck. It is believed that at the three young women were stage struck and that the young Moses sister was left home to follow in the footsteps of an older sister, Miss Ethel Moses, who is a well-known actress and who was the Florence Moss rev. at the Plantation in Charleston, although for 44 years of age, she is said to have the demeanor and appearance of a much older person. When last seen, she was a satin dress, a brown fur-trimmed coat and black skirts with Cuban heels.

Near EUTAW REGENT-5 VAUDEVILLE ACTS Saturday, April 2, 1927 EVERY GIRL CAN STAR IN "SHAKE YOUR FEET" Cloe Mitchell Gives Each Chorus Girl Chance To Sell Her Wares In Musical Gifting Just a little different—that is one of the impressions which one gets from Joe Carmouche's 'Shake. Your Company, for every chorus girl offers one or more specialty and puts it over pleasingly. The contacts are evidently cordial among producer and players for there ten members of the show have been with it over five years. Male Wroteen, an entertaining dansseuse, considers the company's location as her home. She has played with the company for five years. "Where the show is and hang my column is home for me. is the way Miss Wroteen puts it. Her feature number is toe dancing; jazz and another of the ladies of the ensemble who play as principals is Queenie Price. When the peep and spirit of access usus must lust Miss Lissie is always the one to inquire the new life into them. Queenie has played for Carmouche several years and offers oriental dances in addition to her fashion and Fashion and Girl. On the stage Eden Young, as a definite young woman characterizes the first visit to a night club. With a splendid spilt舞 with trays and dresses of the young wife is true to her husband and reuses to dance or take a drink. Backstage and off, Edna impresses you with being reserved, shy and thoroughly old fashioned when it comes to all night parties and other amusements. Twelve years ago she len New York as a great girl of 13. She joined Prediece for the job few months later. After she had parted the ways Miss Young joined Carmouche's company and has been with it for eight years. Miss Young offers a wide variety of dance numbers and has added Russian dancing to her. repertoire. When asked about her girlfriend she said, "I first went on the stage, was convinced that the wild girl didn't pay. After twelve more years I still think that the quiet, careful hues does pay." STAR Over at the Star they have an assembly of dancers and comedians who take one back to the old days of minstrel shows. "Rastus" Wintelfeld's "Dancing Dunt" is a presentation of some clever dancer, humor of the troop and principals are paired plenty of well deserved applause. The singing falls very short except in one number, where George Gouide out hits over pleasingly. He should be allowed to do more of the song numbers. Gouide does some worth over entertaining in her dance numbers and is well supported by the quintet of chorus girls. Mary Willimun stands out as one of the best of these girls who put themselves into their work. Their unison dancing reflects hard practice. "Hair" Gouder who is the blackface partner on his way to Prisco. In the finale, which is one of the colorful old minstrel styles, these comics draw all the laughter and applause of the house with their tap dancers. Question would be to the singers up to the standard of the dancers. The chorus is composed of Mary Williamham, Gusseis Goulde, Gern- mann, Brown and An- thony. The recue carries its guitar and drummer. CAREY "The Black Pirate" Douglas Fairbanks comes to the Carey Monday and Tuesday in his technicolor pirate yarn. "The Black pirate escaped from a jail most of the elements that go into the making of a tale of bold, bad scammen who fly under a black flag. The story is an old one. The father, a merchantman, i stripped of his goods by the pirates and his ship blown up. The son sweeps revenge over the body of his father and joins the pirates in order to make them pay more dearly. There are the daring deeds that the boys have dreamed of since reading "Treasure Island", and the beautiful heroine is the main prize.

Mrs. Ali was born in Macon, Ga. 27 years ago and christened Margaret Barbara Lee Carr. She is survived by a father, Robert Carr; mother, John Walker Carr; grandmother, Mary Walker; and a cousin, Hattie Walker McDaniels of Baltimore. Boby had been on the stage about 10 years and was quite a prominent figure in the nite clubs. Her sudden illness caused her to lose an engagement at the Regent Theatre recently. She married William Benbow, own- er of the farm, and was later married to Bamal. Her most devoted friends during her illness were Viola McCoy, Edna Brown and Willie Porter.

Five synaponic artists and a drummer who tossed the drum to kick the drum over the drums, appeared at a local theatre with the current revue. The Sharp Street recital1 shows a sharp contrast with the music productions of white Baltimoreans. At the recent presentation of "Aida" 1500 opera geors took all the seats at the Lyric and 350 took seats on the stairs where they could not see the musicians. At Sharp Street the music patrons filled about 200 seats and left some 400 vacant. Some day we may be able to tour our exponents of beauty in expression. Beethoven, who died 100 years ago was one of the forerunners of composers of jazz themes. Lucky for Beethoven that he also wrote an opera and some unsurpassed classics and the world honored him last week. The Memphis Blues has been one of the most popular best sellers for a decade. Who knows whether Handy will be honored as an old master in the future? Over at the Star Theatre last week a little girl of six cleverly executed some dances which were distinctly vulgar. The child was not vulgar for she does not know what it is all about. What do you say about her mother who taught them to her, and the people who applauded her? A class of ten came to the house next door Friday and asked her sister what dress she should wear to the show. The sister told the child and was asked if she were accompanying her to the show. "No," she replied. "She always goes to her herself." That is even a little more dangerous than sending the children to Sunday school while you stay at home. The charming Honey Brown gave Baltimoreans a treat in her toe dancing and comedy with "Shake, Rattle and Roll." She had another actress to follow her last week with an able presentation of that most difficult of dancing. Charleston and black bottom dancers are so numerous that the change is delightfully refreshing. Edmonds As Playwright S.

He has been recognized as a premier for a score of years in his field. Goldberg Has Spent Heavily Ir Dressing Up The Show For This Engagement By Lou Goldberg When "7-11" comes to the Palace Theatre, week of April 4th, the Palace will offer one of the banner shows of the Columbia Circuit, a scream of laughter, a burst of melody, nonsense and harmony from start to finish. When the assertion is made that Garland Howard, Mae Brown, and Speedy Smith are the stars of this extraordinary attraction that in itself, is sufficient guarantee of a riot of fun and hilarity, the stars of known entertainers were last seen in "7-11" the good taste of which still lingers in every city this show has visited. The three stars have been provided with new gags from the jokesmits and new songs from their own sources. The show has given to the show a wealth of costuming and harmonizing beyond compare. Supporting this distinguished trio is a cast that is fully capable of being each and every one a star. There is a chorus of twenty-four fast stepping damsels, chorus numbers, ensembles without a lead, and will prove as novel and divining as any of its contemporaries. There will be a mid-nite show at 5 minutes after Mid-nite, Sunday night, April 3rd. AROUND NEW YORK Eva A. Jussyne Cilicia, N.Y.

One of the many "different" things about this picture is the fact that there's not a Royal Northwest Mounted Cop in the length of it. Tom Meighan today is making the strongest pictures of his career. After finishing "Tin Gods" he searched high and low for a worthy "follow-up" film. "The Canadian" is that film. A real Meighan special by the autho of "Rain"—adapted for the screen by the author of "Manhandled." That should make it doubly entertaining. A smashing, virile successor to "Tin Gods." The mighty drama of a man who had to battle for love and happiness against the very elements of Nature itself. Filmed amid the majestic mountains and sweeping wheat fields of Canada.

He felt out of place, first he had become accustomed to New York's mode of living and Baltimore seemed to him a bit provincial. The years that had brought about the change in him had also played havoc with his old home town. The modern Baltimore was but a shell of the Baltimore he had known and loved, the home life had gone and in its stand was fast cropping up a desire to live—live as New York lived—which was at best merely existing.

That old hospitality that he used to brag about was slowly being choked to death in such crowded quarters. In its stead was a selfishness and coldness that always follows in the wake of the apartment house evil. He took rooms at the Y and was making a desperate pretense at court Joyce. He was hoping against hope that he might learn to love her, but the more he courted the more certain he became that such could never be. The more convinced he was that his carefree bachelor life, his ultra modern convictions on the marriage question which had become a part of him could never be cramped to fit her orthodox ideas of marriage. Then, too, Joyce was ambitious, too much so for a woman who expected to make a success of married life. She often told him that she did not intend to let matrimony interfere with her career as a teacher.

"By Gad! Joyce," he cried seizing her arm, "that's Al Freeman. I wonder what he's doing down here?" "Oh. I don't see anything in a blackface comedian to get excited about," rejoined Joyce. "But Al is more than a blackface comedian, he's my pal. I want you to meet him." "Another one of your low friends from New York, I suppose," said Joyce. "Me meet him?-What would my friends say if they saw me talking to a stage actor." "Oh, well don't bother. Just wait here in the lobby while I slip back-stage and say hello." "Weil.

She refused to leave her folks, you know, and between the lot of them they cleaned me for every cent I had and then tried to jail me because I wouldn't pay more. Gosh man. I wish I was like you and never thought about getting married." "But I am Al. I am engaged now." "What!" Freeman looked his amazement. "Don't do it Les.

Spring brought wedding bells—wedding bells that seemed to have a harsh jingle instead of a melodious chime to leslie. To the admiring hosts Joyce, his wife, was as perfect as womanhood could flashing eyes and glistened under tremendously long lashes, a mass of black shiny hair, quite in contrast to her golden brown complexion, highly educated—all that a man could wish. Men enlived him. She was perfect—but in herEssay she was not that they actually existed but because try as he would he could not look at her with eyes of love. As a sister he might—but not as a man looks at the woman, well the woman he desires above others. He only looked at one woman he loved at the moment of his life forever. He would make the best of it, he resulted. He rented offices down town and went about his work half headedly. Cases came to him without all solicitation—his father's old chefs. He found he was still caring for himself. He bought a car, a Chevrolet, then hired a secretary. As a secretary Alison Roberts proved ideal. She took so much off his mind. She reminded him of his appointments. Kill his files, answered his business letters. How he lated office routine. How he lated the news into the country alone to dream and form little tuneful melodies in his mind. "You are a jewel, Miss Roberts," said Leslie one day as he was leaving her desk. "Rather familiar way for a married man to address his secretary," said a male voice coping from the direction of the doorway. Leslie looked up suddenly. A man was standing just inside his door. A satanic smile spread over his whole countenance. It was Rupert Clifford.

Never before 1. is the word with such cruelty on the people in the United States. Mr. Collins, the writ-gives some interesting facts about Churches in this country, and also advances some good reasons why some of them should down Among those important points in this article are these. 1-There are two hundred thousand and churches in the United States. 2-They belong to two hundred different economic regions. 3-They present an investment of three billion dollars. 4-They cost three hundred million dollars a year to maintain. 5-They pay no taxes to the community. 6—They spend less than FIFTY CENTS A YEAR FOR CHILD FOR RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION 7—They only three times a week. The first two points may be taken as causes, the last two as effects. The fact that after expiring three pence each week while the church from taxes, the church spend less than fifty cents a year on religious instruction of the child, who will some day be given, gives some reason to add. Add to this the lack of foresight that allows costly plants, often worth millions, to stand over a third of the church situation, see reason why that some of the churches should be torn down. Baltimore Churches After reading this excellent article I thought over a great situation I made a few inquiries and I asked a few questions of welfare workers and social workers found out that I had a small size just like the general situation of the country. In Northwest In North West, Baltimore alone there are TWENTY-ONE large churches to say nothing of the East and Baltimore there are at least TEN large churches and only the Lord knows how many missions and little churches. There also churches are only on upon Sunday. Some are so large and rich-looking that some poor people are; raided only by the East and Baltimore where one can see way when the world has brushed and buffeted the soul, and sank down in peace. There are also shouts, persevere church, tranquilizes and heals the torn conditions. Him Excited in the name of Him, who breeds the body first, so that the soul might, have a perfect home, there is but one Community House connected with us. So far as I can learn there is not a single church with a trained nurse on its board and aside from the one church named, there is no church with a wolf worker. Soul Clinics Some of these churches cost thousands of dollars, many as yet, and six days in the week. Some of them have a sealing capacity of AP ESTABLISHED 1859 "WHILE BROADWAY RULES" He Small Bottle OLD DUTCH CLEANS A & P BAKED BEANS 4 CANS 25c Call VE rnon 6016 DOWN SOM Of God, Tear the Churches as Mabelle Chew Big People On Way To Movies Idle Churches—They Might Interested In Its Activities ousands, but seldom draw more than a hundred. The auditoriums could be built in. Not only health but soul clinics. Places where men and women may be rebuilt. Employment officers, classes in various trades, study groups, and other orchestras. If young people on the way to the movies saw a light in the church they might stop and become interested in some church activity. Shares of the community house is always full of young people but they cannot reach them all. Best Families Only WHY NOT TEAR DOWN a church where only the best families are wanted? Where things are done in the same way they were done in years ago, the lights the Ladies' Aid about who shall use the monogrammed linen and silver in the church kitchen. Why not tie in the church where poor mothers could bring their under-nourished babies and obtain milk at a price within their reach or free when there was a need. Big Sports. WHY NOT TEAR DOWN a church where a Christian says "All the Sports go to Rev. So and so's church. If it isn't a place to be and it could be torn down and never missed. The fact that Rev. So and can draw sinners and sports seems to me to be an institution that he is doing. Call sinners to repentance. I often wonder what some people think the purpose of the church is. To some it is merely a place where their plans may be Just a few months ago two other three churches moved from their former homes, and they or caused any loss to their particular parishes. Had they large factories or business houses, they would have had to be missed more than a church. It is a sad commentary on the usefulness of a church that it is not missed by the Gents Per Child. Mr. Collins said in his article that the churches spend less than FIFTY CENTS a year. He added, "Debt there is an answer to the question which agitates religious worker today. How shall we keep the young people when you have to commit murder or suicide to attract attention how can the church expect to get the minds of young people. With young people knowing nothing of God or the doctrine of the church one can see the decade that attract even people. Then why not tear down some of our churches now. It will save time and the sites will bring more money and resources. Farthest South In the farthest part of the South there is no country that doesn't spend more than a dollar a year per child In East Baltimore, hundreds of children never go to Sunday school although one particular building will have a hooch of a large church. Do you know that there is no Community Center of any kind in East Baltimore for colored children? you know that the people of East Baltimore are big enough to forget about denominational lines and consolidate on a community program that will help suffering humanity? inz's Ketchup 15c Large Bottle 23c The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md. .South's Biggest and Best Weekly WHY NOT TEAR DOWN SUCH CHURCHES and put up public baths, model homes and diet kitchens so that these hundreds, yea thousands of painful children may have an opportunity to realize, more abundant life, that wonderful asset, which your minister and mine, tells us that Christ The congregations of some of these churches are more large and are too small to carry on the work alone but yet they will need BUILDINGS and real churches.

Two loans on the furniture to have my children in the church to a campaign or fund, but not one hour of time or one nickel for an athletic Club in Raborg street where boys may exercise, but not in beads in a cram game. Why not tear down some of these churches where everybody has a car from the pastor on down, and yet nobod, has room to bring one old lady, (whose eyes and hands gave while working) pay for the church? Within A Block Why not tear down churches within a block of each other whose members shift churches with the aim that they don't like. Why not get rid of some of these buildings and let parish of the coal fund starving humans, who are homeless, and build one or two houses of God.

Families may bring their difficulties and adjust demand. Where men may be directed to work that will satisfy their needs and Dirty Children Where dirty little children will be welcome and will find God in a hot bath and a wholesome meal. Why not, people of Baltimore? I wager you that in ten years just one such church will outstep every other in Baltimore in membership and value of church property. Preaching But some may say, but what of the ministers. Not one real minister is appointed only essential of ministry. Many ministers will find in personal service real opportunities to mold men and women. Many who have been preaching will find that talent in them is the gift of learning, which ought to be a healer of souls, a榜样 of so great others. They will find that they have administrative abilities. In these new ministers, the main task is to carry out the program. The thing that will be really done is to cut down maintenance expense and work of the kingdom. The reclaiming of Mankind, body, mind and soul. On the sites of our presents HOUSES OF GOD.

On warm days give some fresh air. Occasionally give a plant food, weak liquid manure is excellent. About first of May we will have our plants to set out. We must plant our flower garden on paper. Our arrangement is much better than if we planted with no plan. Decide on the flowers you will have. The garden catalogue will be of much service to you there. They are full of beautiful pictures and descriptions of all kinds of flowers. Decide on location of beds or rows. Plan to have tall flowers in the back rows, low ones in front, edging plants for edges of beds or borders. We are now ready to prepare the yard for planting. We will have it spaced up, break up cieds and rule soil line, getting out stones. Over this we will put a good layer of manure, and if possible some good top soil utilized with some meal over the bed. Every one don't take so much trouble with preparation, but the results are well worth the extra trouble.

"That this is fickle April, and 'tis dangerous to get wet." "You are too cautious, little one." I laughed her fears inside. And continued on my journey through the country far and wide. So bright had been the morning that I noted not the morning. And without a bit of warning, huge drops began to fall. I looked about for shelter, but there wasn't any nish. So I had to stand and weather all the tears of April's sky. Quite wet and ah! much wiser when returning on my way, I met the self-same lady.

Butter and Cottage Cheese Maryland Dairy XTER, Chairman of Board Nature's April Fool All winter the trees had soaked bare and brown in their makeaked. During four long afternoons, months of cold weather caused the trees to heaven in grief for the loss of their green beauty. Her Nature was to blame for their sad plight. She was such a change of spirit. So one knew just when to expect her to become dislodged. She was in the warmth of color August offered, would have thought her happy. But but she was not happy. She October came, she called her son, Jack Frost. "Jack," she said to him, "if I am more than a cold green dress. Get your magic bristle and go to work." for he loved such pranks of the trees. Their green husk becomes more drosome." Mother Nature added, "They grow before he desolated away on the cradle. Faulty to the request of his mother, he immediately strangled the body clung to their rich green foliage, but jack Frock came again. This time he green husk soaked in their green leaves turned gold and crimson. And sigh they how they danced in the breeze, so no garments. But the trees were sad, for they knew that such joy fordont their coming death. They fell leaving the trees sad in their mundeness. Thus the March winds found Mother Nature meantime had frequently changed her garments. Sometimes she wore brown, but more often she wore white, and she felt leaving the trees sad in their mundeness, however, she became tired of this, and after four long months she longed for the green one more. She "Master Sun," she said, "I think that I have been shyly long enough. If I can have it, I shall change my garment. I think green dotted here and there with garments bloom, will make a beautiful garden." "I am of the same mind. Mistress Nature, and she surely do my best," she said. True to his word he began to put all the ardor possible in his rays although it was early in March. Mother Nature tipped about from place to place whispering to all the doves, "Get up, get up, lazy ones. Don't you know spring is here?" To the trees, she cried, "Cover your bare limbs. 'Tis time to let your tiny green ones come forth to adorn you." The flowers heard in joy. First the jonquills sent up green shoots to find out whether all was well. The bright yellow flowers followed. The hymeths and tulips were encouraged to try their fortunes. The trees were a little wary. Mother Nature had foiled them before. Very cautiously did they put forth their tender green offspring, always whispering, "Slowly, slowly now, little ones. There is no haste." The leaves obeyed, but after two weeks of such sunshine they grew bold. They complained to the trees. "We are wasting gay sunshine. See how long the jonquills, the tulips, and the hyacinths have been enjoying themselves. We are sure the time for us." The trees at last agreed. On March thirty-first Mother Nature carried beside a gay little brook which had just been freed from its ley bondage. The stream was swollen with melodious snow from the hilltops, and its waters were high and clear. Mother Nature was not particularly vain, but what damsel would not take a peep into a mirror if it was placed before her? There she beheld herself in vivid young green, dotted here and there with splashes of color. One would have thought her well, with such small, but significant role as the needs of Nature? No, sooner did she behold herself thus arrayed than she thought of how long she had to wear that green. April, May, June, July, August, and September seemed an eternity. Oh, how she longed to see herself in white just once more. Night fell. The flowers nodded happily. The trees, well satisfied that their young ones were safe, boozed peacefully. Only Mother Nature kept awake. All during the night the thought persisted, "I want to see myself in white once more." At day-break she decided, in white, I shall be dressed on the first day of the day, to be dressed in white. Fool, the grass, flowers, and trees. Immediately she busied herself and rapidly changed her garment. And the first came. The w, awoke to a snow-covered land. The bright serene of the flowers were nowhere visible; only their long green blades could be seen above the snow. The grass was completely covered. Sadly the trees called to their offspring, "Nestle close, little ones." But the leaves in their delicate green walled, "wh" we are so cold, I fear we shall catch our death of cold. "No dear, you won't die," comforted "But we shall be so long growing, 'Oh! Oh!' the poor little leaves shivered. The wire old trees nodded their heads, and the old tree would well. Well she would so weep. All durings the sunny days of April she would cry, cry, cry. For her willful wrank. Everytime she cazed at herself in the brook she would cry, cry, cry. For her willful wrank. Everything she had done. April after all would not be so much play-time. The old tree would be unmarried another April with many shewers.

To what event in history are the Captain and Captain Bennett attached? delivered with your Milk if ordered a day ahead Aunt Ray's Letter Children: Did you know that April, the most fanciful month of the year, has a most interesting origin? When the old Romans were making our calendars, they set aside thirty days for the windy season and designated them as the fourth month. To this month they gave the name "April" from the Latin verb, meaning "open". They probably did this because they noted, even as we, that at this time all nature opens. Charlemagne, the great French ruler of old, called these days "Grass Months" a name still retained by the Dutch. April is ushered in by a most joyous festival day, for who doesn't enjoy All Fools' Day? April Fool, as we call it, is the day for mocking unlady wary persons by sending them on senseless errands and making their victims of artful pranks. For years mankind has observed this festival. Some trace its origin back to the plays with humorous characters which were presented about Easter time in Germany, France and England. Others claim it dates back to the ancient Hindus' pagan festival. Be that as it may, All Fool's Day we have and enjoy. If you read the contest announcement in this issue, you noted that we are awarding the best April Pool experience. I feel confident that we shall have some interesting stories to print, because sometime during the day all of us have some prank and in turn play pranks on others. I look upon "Letter Box" with pride this week. It ought to be but as well supplied each week since we have members as far away as Virginia and Georgia.

During various springs of the past we have witnessed the lovely lady's fancy turning to thoughts of church, of charity, yea, even of academic degrees; but to love she has hitherto appeared singularly immune.

DO YOU KNOW NERVES AND BLOOD ARE LIFE? GET RID OF THAT PAIN IN YOUR BACK. Nature never allows a mistake to be equipped with many more tools. Irregular habits, wrong food, overwork, worry, late hours, neglect of little precautions are punished by the pangs of dyspepsia, shattered nerves, insomnia, liver or kidney trouble, and a wrecked and wasted constitution. But this misery and hopelessness does not amount to a life sentence for those who are willing to come back and obey the laws which Nature has laid down. Her penalties are severe and inevitable, but her rewards are generous. Chronic diseases of men have been successfully throughout my long and successful career.

The trial horse was rectangular in shape on account of it being necessary to pitch it in the two parlorers. The 'trial horse' had a trifle the better of the battle and the horse was sawed by who saw the sinewy negro-groungster fight that night doubled that he was going to put up a first-class article in the pugilistic line when he died. And it is probably equally true that no one who witnessed that practically first public appearance of Gans dreamed that he would ever be of fame he was destined to reach. "Soon after this Gans appeared in Kerman's amphitheater, which was the scene of some strenuous amateur film. He came to own with valuable items. He took to own a violet a stout, short black fellow who offered $50 to anyone who would stay six rounds with him. The theatre was packed on the night Gans ensured never met an opponent of the black visitor, and he went at his task with that carefulness that always afterward characterized the film. He was not over a light one occasionally, to the exasperation and discomfiture of the Rosebud." "Gans staved the six rounds and probably captured the $50, but what himself that he could best "the Rosebud," and a match was made. The light came off a few nights later, and he man up. There was yery, litle to it. "From that time on Gans' star trained in brilliance and he was ready for the best of them. "Gans was a clean fighter. He never stood over a enemy, ready but generally as soon as he arose, but generously extended a helping hand and aided him to his feet. He was a 'white' black fighter."

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder Our price must be for the quality of all men under the law, the law to be supreme. The law is supreme and every man shall have a fair trial before an impartial judge. We hear too much of this magistrate and that judge breaking up this or the other practice when a colored man comes before him for trial to offer punishment. If these crimes can be broken up the same method to prevent one class from committing crime must be used as to prevent the other class from doing the same thing. Where we see partiality shown on the bench we must step in and see that it is corrected. We must also see to it that a larger number of colored men are drawn on the Petit Jury in the criminal courts of the city. The three months while on the Grand Jury I did the single colored man in the Petit Jury. This is state of affairs we ought not to allow to exist. We are taxpayers and citizens and we have a right to sit as jurors in all of the courts. 2600 Miles The editor is back again at his desk this week after a 2600 mile trip that carried him as far West as St. Louis, and as far South as Little Rock, Arkansas. We have seen a little Dixie, that part of the United States which is at one and the same time the wonder and the despair of those who seek a Christian solution of the race problem. We saw colored and white people get out of a sin crew street car and enter a colored church to sit side by side and worship in the same pew. We saw a black cop directing traffic on one of the busiest streets of the West while around the cornert the first colored high school is in course for a new school. We saw southern Democratic candidates for Mayor making public appeal for colored voters and appropriating several thousand dollars for a campaign in the colored section. We saw department store clerks trying gowns, shoes and hats on colored folks while 40 miles away was a town in which no colored folks were permitted to remain overnight. Above all we were encouraged to walk. Woodmen of Union, Poro College, People's Finance Co., of St. Louis and the Pythian Sanitarium where hundreds of dollars are handled every year efficiently, wisely and as a matter of fact. Everywhere among both races the feeling is expressed that race relations are improving. Optimism of Dixie is contagious. Economically, the reports show that the volume of business has done the greatest in history. Dixie is working and it is saving and investing. Harakiri Republican nomination of Mr. William F. Browning for mayor is an evident confession of a dearth of mayoral timber in the G. O. P. ranks. It is said without any reflection upon Mr. Browning who did not seek the nomination which went abegging until the last moment. Candor compels us to admit however that the party either is not in earnest or has bad situation. Can any other view be tenable when it is recognized that Mr. Browning who was elected mayor of Baltimore over his Democratic opponent by 9,238 votes in 1919, was snowed under in 1923 and view be tenable when it is recognized that Mr. Browning who polled 60,238 votes in 1919, mustered only 49,010 in 1923. This ought to be fair enough notice of what the city thought of Mr. Browning at the expiration of his term of office. It must be forgotten that in the 1923 election there were two democrats in the field against him. The democrats were split and divided their votes giving 41,434 to the presiding Mayor, W. Jackson and 30,922 to James W. Preston, an independent democrat. The question recurs. If Mr. Browning, the Republican could not be reelected four years ago with the Democratic party split, how can this year with his opponents united? To put it another way, what has Mr. Browning to offer the voters as a candidate? He lacked four years ago when they retired him from public life? Whatever we may think of the courage of Mr. Browning, however we may admire his willingness to sacrifice, we must admit that he坚韧 we must admit that if the party desired to commit political suicide it could not have selected a better method to nominate Mr. Browning.

Two hundred years ago there were 239 colored to every 1000 whites in the U. S. In 1910 there were but 120 colored to folk to every 1000 whites. The drop was 50%. Professor Hankins is therefore apparently logical in assuming that in 200 years more this remaining 50% will be lost. But the learned professor forgot to notice that the Negro population in the past 10 years increased by 625,000, and in the period 1900-10 by 550,000. At this rate 280 years will elapse before the birth rate of the Negro population will remain stationary at around 25,000,000. Then Prof. Hankins would have to answer the question how long these 25,000,000 will take to die out or be assimilated by the whites. But this light the professor's prophecy becomes a more estimate which has taken into account few eventualities. Suppose, for example, the beauty culturists, who sell every year ten million tins of hair straightener, per cent of their sales, to make black skin white. The northern part of the black race would disappear over a fortnight. The truth is that we do not know enough about social laws and the melting pot to predict the end of it. The fact is that one of those situations in which a fool will guess, but a wise man will hold his peace. Plain Ignorance A Pittsburgh reader sends us what is purported to be a "letter from the Savior." It contains an injunction that it should be "published by whoever found it and declares that mistrust and bad luck would follow the person having possession of it in the event that it is not given publicity. According to the history of the letter, it is by way of the crucifixion, signed by the Angel Gabriel 99 years after the Savior's birth and deposited by him under a stone at the foot of the this letter to publish declaring that cross. The correspondent sends the APRO her failure to have it printed previously accounts for the fact that her husband lost a narrative position he held for many years. The APRO is not publishing the letter because of ignorance and superstition in the world without our adding anything to it. Moral, social and economic laws are real, as binding and as discoverable by chemical formula or the multifaceted nature. If the husband of our correspondent lost his job, it was because of his own inefficiency, the short temper or short sightedness of his employer, a temporary or permanent business depression. No wise worker has a job pawnbake it on his back. If the employer is with him, he will never be able to succeed no matter how long he may hold down a job. If the fault is not his, he has only to keep trying until he finds the employer who appreciates and can make use of his gifts. What a world this would be if our success in it depends on luck or the ridiculous "chain letter," rather than hard work, clear thinking, honesty, enthusiasm, and willingness to sacrifice something for the common good. The Free Press Victor Sterns, white, was fired and imprisoned in Toronto, Canada last week for a newspaper article titled "Why Jebel Amrush and 'an irate old party,' as one who in the case of Cain and Abel preferred 'roast cutlets to boiled cabbage.' The week before the University of Washington at Seattle, students two students who described Abraham Lincoln as a 'cow country politician' who was barely tolerated by his wife. They criticised Lincoln for depriving Southern slave owners of "millions of dollars in property" and the foundation to the constitution. Down in Munice, Indiana, a judge who disagreed with articles printed about him in a local newspaper, cited the editor for contempt and accused him of toil to help the sale of papers by newsbys. Incidents like this make us wonder how free are American speech and press. Besides, if we start jailing everybody who criticizes the party, we will have no room for his jackers and bootleggers.

Impressionistic Description of W. Pickens As An Orator By A New Yorker. An orthodox Negro Baptist church in the middle of a narrow data street, a brightly lit nave, vaulted with a brightly lit majestic magnifying against the background, an unnotenous pulpit many other accoutrements that are awfully through the thorny paths of sin up to the pearly gates, an opening prayer by the parson thanking God for the favors bestowed upon the Negro race, an incoherent shy chairman instigating striving to explain the purpose of the meeting, glowing brown, black and yellow faces, and Pickers. With little or no polish, carless of his diction, primitive and uncuttual with that is at all times uncanny and inscrutable. With color that sparkles and flashes, a scattering wit that makes words that pound against another with sentences clashing against the minds of his accusers. With their emotions sette and swirl for a moment until finally, in a vague and unconceived way, they penetrate to the intellect. Through him the Negroes can chant — and after all who is to saw them not to nod the g.d of the N. A. C. P. and Wm. Pickens is its prophet. James Price. — New York City Chicago Reader Disagrees With Bish-Coles As To Financial Reports of Bethel A. L. E. Church In Chicago I have seen a copy of your paper containing a statement, reported to have been made recently by Bishop A. L. Gaines, in which reference is made to the Church and its Trustee funds and other matters during the pastorate of Dr. C. M. Tanner. During the entire time that Bishop Gaines was "with us and Dr. Tanner," he was the president of the Church and the Bishop stayed in my home. I even allowed him to open a "political headquarters" as he called it, for Hon. Wm. Senate, who was defeated, although personally I favored candidate Hon. Frank L. Smith, who was elected. Being my Bishop I thought he knew everything and is must be allright. I did not ask him for a single penny extra. Dr. Tanner never once handled, held, or paid out a single dollar of money, or even held over night a single collection during the entire time I was treasurer. I always deposited the money in the banks and paid out the money in the accounts, every dollar appropriated by the Board, which met regularly. My books were regularly audited by Mr. Tanner, now with the Binae State Bank, and his reports were shown to and known to the Church and Bishop. My intimate and constant contact with the Bishop as my house guest rendered me aware of the many misappropriation of funds as he implies, then I, am responsible. My books have been turned over to the Church and my accounts have been turned over to a father and a grandfather. All my days have been given to the service of our dear old denomination, so do not pollish the false implication. The Bishop says there were $14,000.00 received through subscriptions taken by the Chicago church now $9,000.00 ever paid in from money promised. The Bishop himself never even paid in the money which he received unless sold to $15,500.00 column avenue, let me say it is still owned by the Church and even now unless sold to $750.00. There is still, I think, some money due the city for taxes on improvements. But the parsonage is still owned by the church, as was theurer we paid from money raised $715.00 to Mr. Duke, architect for complete plans for the church. The site of the fire. A building permit has been granted. We have also spent over $784.750 to the fire and lowering the walls and towers of the burned building and cutting out the burned and bent girders. We did this to save money. We paid to the church paid $300.00 of money that was owing to members of the Church. These made a total of $10,622.22 of money from cellar subscriptions. George W. Davidson, 4341 Calumet avenue, Chicago, Illinois. (By Clarence Darrow) "You have no monopoly in having been slaves. My own ancestors were slaves. That was true. But that makes you slaves, but that makes no difference. You went through the same history as my ancestors. But you do not hear of any other racial group holding annual Emancipation Celebrations which serve to emphasize their economic status, thus which their ancestors passed. Other peoples are so busy with affairs concerning their economic and social status time nor inclination to celebrate or even recall their emancipation from slavery. They seek no inspiration from slavery. That is very unusual. To most of them, it is forbidden history. The New Negro Considerable surprise was felt in Los Angeles last summer when the progressive princess, ran for state assembly on the democratic ticket. It had been. The forward looking Negro is no longer tied to the apron strings of High School Evening Class In Journalism Analyzes 'Nigger Heaven' Extracts From Book Review Studies Done By The Advance Group Studying Jurnalism In Baltimore Public Evening School. Reaction One Of Physical Nausea It is difficult to be fair in the analysis of a book that fails to create enthusiasm and appreciation for the subject, but must contess that the book "Nigger Heaven" offended me, and I might " further and say- both's cried and insulted was one almost of physical nausea. One recognizes that there are all types of human deprivacy and that both types can be hard to identify if we would have the entire picture clear; but there must also be good taste in presentation of the book. The hand could indicate the depth of deprivacy without giving all the sordid details. The type of writing in "Nigger Heaven" alters the author gives clear pictures of life as he found it in Harlem- yet he falls far short of the. artistic. He paints his readers and put over a big book by first taking an unexplored field- Negro life—and second by putting its most vivid images in. The ever-present curiosity of human nature and the universal interest in the lurid will appeal to the majority of the population in a temporary "good seller" is produced. To my mind the author's main objective is motority and money; he appeals to the reader's ability to the extent that he can present an uncolored racial life before a curious and avid public. He has been shrewd enough (at the outside of the race) to hit upon some racial characteristics and failings. The jealousy of the less successful for the successful; the emphasis of grades in Harlem; the demeany life which he deems racial; the emphasis which the Negro himself puts upon shades of color; the xixing of all grades in Harlem; the fear by their nearness to truth lead the reader to believe that the author has struck upon basic characteristics of the race. His book the aunt and convictor of Harlem, the superficial in Harlem life will not live as a literary master piece as the author has neither the technique nor power to analyze the racial or gradual growth of his characters. His book will sell—but will not live. By M. L. H. Entertaining Realism Carl Van Vechten is a confirmed sophisticate. His novels are creations of brilliantly clever, beautifully colored, delightfully entertaining realism. In his latest book, 'Nigger Heaven' however, he strikes a more somber note. He paints a picture of certain African Americans in a situation which is an arresting combination of tragedy and sensuality. The tragedy deals with the struggle to survive in a conflicting forces on, his own complex nature on one hand, and against the discriminatory injustices of a world prejudiced to color on the other hand. Humanity, as shown in the barbaric abandon of the night life in cabarets, is typical of any race at the stage of development of the human body. That the student of human nature, accustomed to finer shades of evolution it sometimes seems like the refine of human beauty and well-being, honors people. Allowing for a certain amount of natural exaggeration and over-emphasis, "Nigger Heaven" is an essentially true picture of the peculiar hybrid life it portrays. It is a mirror held up to specific phases of Harlem life. It is also a case of seeing "ourselves as others see us." Most of us won't like this. Indeed, some folks are greatly exercised over "Nigger Heaven", claiming it presents a picture of Harlem life wholly cut of focus. Although these admit that the individual characters and incidents could all be true of life, yet they assert, these are put together that a more "caricature" results, giving the impression that "the black cabaret is Harlem—a nasty, sordid corner into which black folks are herded, and yet a place which they in their gross ignorance are fools enough to enjoy." To the unprejudiced mind, this criticism is unfair. Harlem is no obscure corner of New York, subject to easily therefore to misrepresentation. It has become exceedingly well-known in these later years. In March 1925, an entire issue of the Survey Graphic was devoted to it. It is confessably something more than a Negro community. It is a city within a city, and has brought together all possible elements of Negro life. Danger, Look Out (Bishop R. E. Jones at Wiley College) There are serious disadvantages about college. The more completion of a college course of getting a degree does not indicate that a man is educated. Deferring to a college course is easy; in fact, we are too much disposed in America to lay false emphasis on degrees and college courses, have created in the minds of half baked graduates the notion that a degree from some university is a degree from another. No number of degrees, no amount of hook learning counts for a fig if the person having such has not the same sense to make the right use of it. A. college education prevents many a person from gaining a job because from receiving the wrong perspective of life. Alice Nelson Says: "While indignation burns high at the Toms River episode, I wonder if deep down the very root and mind find that the trouble was still not find that the original idea of segregation came from the desire of some colored citizen of Toms River wanting to be a mother, sister, sister or other female relative a job teaching school? And the town not being educated up to putting colored teachers in school was advocated in order that some colored girl might get a teachership? That is the way segregated schools are now likely start. It will bear looking into." reactionary republicanism. The race with the white people ready to break with the traditional party. The recent case before the United States supreme court, in which it was decided that Texas Negroes have a constitutional right to vote in the primarys, emphasizes the trend. The rising intelligence and the culture of the black can seek open - One feels the more convinced of this when one notes that the author is familiar with only one Negro, with which one or one keenly observant of Negroes, could know. For instance, the fact that colored people put undue emphasis upon color—that there is color discrimination within our own race Of course, our color complex arises out of circumstances and is based on the nature of the situation, the explanation of or excuse for, the cause doesn't destroy the fact, which is only too well known within the group, despite our pretenses and fears. In a third instance the author shows his knowledge of our people. In the tenacity rather than the rather than the basic objective of their lives. My candid opinion is that this is unquestionably true, and things necessarily true, considering our comparative poverty, and it is almost inevitably true since white America is largely made up of other peoples. There are other instances, but these are sufficient to indicate that in the main "Nigger Heaven" is a true place, and there are gratifying reasons that isn't necessarily dark. Several particularly fine characters brighten its pages, and there are gratifying reasons that it's as vivid arresting exotic as the theme itself. The situations are not stained and the climax, dramatically taken, as it is, does not over-credit it. "Nigger Heaven" is interesting, exciting, barbaric, tragic. It is a hard to imagine. That it will live for any far distant to-morrow is extremely doubtful. The theme is big enough to treatment. L. A. L. significant enough. Literary Quality Judging from the familiarity with which the author discusses certain situations one can readily see the importance of first hand. The meticulous care with which he described some of the activities of his characters, is further emphasized with the subject. How ever, he exaggerates somewhat on some points. The multiplicity of situations in his work entirely are discussed with a frankness and fullness that are fascinating. As far as the standards of Walt Whitman, all classes of Negroes has no place as a literary man, as far as this book is concerned. But the large sale of his book is due to the amount of sensationalism. The following points are those that I consider to be the places where the author exaggerates. All classes of Negroes are not frequenters of Cabaret, etc. 2. Characters like the Creeper are not idolized. Fails to carry out expectations of reader in regards to the outcome of characters. F. U. W. No Reflection Frankly, I enjoyed every line of "Nigger Heaven." Mr. Van Vechten didn't use me, because he told us off weed. He told us off the "Nigger Heaven" running through my mind for years, and if I could wield my pen as well as Mr. Van Vechten, he did. When I closed the book, I had but one regret—that Mr. Van Vechten isn't a Negro. I felt a stinging pain that we haven't reached the place where we can tell the truth. I don't think that the author intends the book to appear a reflection on Negro life in racism. I do think he meant to reflect a phase of Negro life, and I take my hat off. To be sure I don't know Harlem, but I know other big cities where Negroes live and I am a Negro. So can I travel to Harlem, take a picture of truth, for after all, what is Harlem but a glorified Baltimore, Washington, Chicago? I cannot see anything in the book to offend, unless I see someone send with that "I'm a deserved and hated Negro" chip on his shoulder. Of course, Van Vechten makes a lot of culpable mistakes doesn't exert the types of people who go are those he sends there. Van Vechten paints us a picture of stark sensuality, but he offends my sensitive soul. Living in an age of sensuality, having it in the most unexpected places and knowing it exists in those men who clothe themselves with how could I take with the author? M. L. B. POEM A WEEK It's All In The State Of Mind Just Ahead Back in the tender days of long age I used to wander with my father dear, My hand in his; and oh, he loved me so! I was content; I had no harm to fear. One day we wandered far and lost, our way. Well I remember what his dear lips said: "Child, I will find the path, and you must stay; I'll only be a little way ahead." He would return the very way he went. When he came back he found a tired child; He carried me safe on his loving breast; He spoke to me; his voice was sweet and mild: "Dear little one, we're going home to rest." Father, the years have borne you in their flight To God's Own Land. They say that you are "dead." I know you're searching for the Path of Light; You're only gone a little way ahead. You'll come for me. Ah, very well I know! My feet are tired, heavy is my load. You left me waiting. Dear, you loved me so.

Moses then sold their garments at a great profit sayir, "unto him the sun shall not shine upon him who hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." Kelly Miller Says Darrow touches the fundamental depths of human nature. He pleads for elemental justice. To him race and color are but meaningless surface markings. He lent his legal talent and the devotion of his soul to the defense of the Negro's right to defend his home and fireside just as a white man defends his fireside. I have lived in Washington for more than forty years. During all of that time, I cannot easily recall that the appearance of any single individual ever stirred the imagination of the multitude as did the counts of Darrow a fortnight ago. We are accustomed to many distinguished languages, the national capitals, the national celebrity aside from political exclamation. There are now if any renowned orators since isryan died whose announcement would fill an ordinary auditorium. When Nevel Thomas, the local head of the N. A. A. C. P, announced the coming of Darrow the more cautious and hesitant became fearful that the audience might not prove to be complimentary to the renown of the great comedian A shabby. In an occasion the audience have been a sad reflection on the part of the colored people of the capital city. Nevel Thomas deserves the bulk of the credit. He is a human dynamo in the cause of liberty, fraternity, equality. Under the guiding hand of his leadership, our team won from victory to victory. The Washington branch of this organization has national significance. Everything radiates from this local point. Nevel Thomas is the right man in the right place at the right time, and he has impressed appeal that swung the population to this great national reception to Mr. Darrow. The city of Washington expressed the moment of the race at the rally. The dalai lama answered that there were 3,000 enthusiastic auditors inside the building with five thousand on the outside. The flow meeting quickly filled an adjacent church which Mr. Darrow addressed at the termination of the central meeting. I was among the throng which arrived out of due season and had to hear the emphatic pronouncement of the usher: "too late, you cannot enter now." Human nature changes slowly, if at all. The same appeal that moved the multitude in the days of old moves it still. Whenever appeal is made to the human heart, the human heart responds. Darrow touches the fundamental depths of human nature. He pleads for justice, freedom and color are being meaningless surface markings. I know of but one great American with whom to compare him, and that is Robert G. Ingersol, the eloquent apostle of freedom. Ingersol was the great religious liberal of his day. He ridiculed the religious beliefs and feelings which his fellow men held dear. But at the same time he was the outsider in his rights. The Negro never had a more fearless champion than this great infidel. Mr. Darrow pitted his wits against that of the great defender of the faith. William J. Bryan. They met on the battle field at Dayton, Tennessee. Darrow won and died of religious liberalism come to the capitol to speak on religious freedom, he doubtless would have met with wide acclaim. Some would have come to him, some would have come all but wholly from the whites. But turning aside from his great legal triumph in the religious arena, he took up the cause of an unpopular campaign to detach the detached devotion of his soul to the defense of the Negro's right to defend his home and fire-shelter his home and fire-side. Darrow at Detroit touches the high water mark of legal altruism. He was working for the mayor and met him in the office of my good friend, Dr. Bentley of Chicago. He was introduced as a white man who was willing to work for Detroit. Detroit merely presented the occasion to bring out what was in him. He rings true at every point. He is not a slave, and did not hear the address, but read large quotations in the morning press. Those present tell me that his speech encounters the eloquence and flamboyant words, but was a simple straight, almost conversational presentation of the faith and doctrine. After all, this is the most impressive mode of eloquence. One can pick out few pointed sentences from the speech, and his discourse. The presence of the man and his straightforward utterances held the crowd in rage attention. On the morrow, the universal commonman "it was good to have been there." The address covered his usual range of topics in his address to the colored audiences. He repeated his statement of his uprising upon the race that it has been too dependent upon vicarious religious success. Upon this feature of his work, he disagreed with the great commoner. I have expressed basis of my disagreement on another occasion. It was a time when he agreed to speak in a Christian Church. All knew before hand just what his views were. Some hope too that he would refrain from the expression of his belief merely because of the place in which they were to be presented. He would no more withhold his homeland from the feelings of colored people than he would refuse to speak out straight and clear on the race of the people to the sensitivity of white people. It would have been best had the man there have been no constraints of any kind. Most of the colored preachers on the following day were the religious figure of the great discourse. They advised their congregation to moor the incongruities which had brought them safe thus far. They accept his gos- sion, the human equality, but balk at his denial of the benefit of our cherished religion. Clarence Darrow In Washington Touches Depths Of Human Nature High Water Mark Of Legal Altruism On Religion Saturday, April 2, 1927 . Not Willing To Curse God And Die It would be a great calamity, in my view, if the colored people should up their pants. Darrow's warfare was not willing, however, gloomy the prospect may seem, to curse God and die. Mr. Darrow is an Anglo-Saxon, a man of great carelessness and date of his bloody Heaven. He is impatient with "he meekness and submission which all religion teaches as a means of overcoming evil. He looks upon the earth with an upside down eye of pity. He believes in measuring might against might which may be the race and class which holds all power with him. But where there is want of power, we must resort to patience. Gandhi in India, in humble submission to British dominion, urges his race to resent the oppressors. He knows that his race can not measure power with the Englishmen in terms of European standards. Darrow would have no patience. Gandhi knows his race better even than Darrow knows them. Negro Minister Knows Race The Negro minister in close contact with the race knows better than a good natured outsider, just how his own race exertion, and to what extent it must look beyond itself for higher guidance and direction. Mr. Darrow stated that it was the white morons that were opposed to his mission, but true it brings us little consolation. It is the mentality of the moron that furnishes the best lodging place and bred ground for race prejudice and hatred. There is no reason to which appeal may be made. When this amusement is the result of emotion and emotion of the deaf minds, it takes on all but the virus of animal fur. The lynchers are doubtless made up largely of this race, and ready for race prejudice especially when it finds lodgement in the bristish breast of human beings. Let us hope that the Darrow will up and down the land preaching the gospel of human brotherhood which will not talk at the completion of the skin or the texture of the hair. One cannot escape the reflection that our champion has already reached the mark of nine score and is now shortly decrease. There are few, if any, white men of the rising generation making ready to take his place, and the temptations of pleasure are too strong for the spirit of sacrifice to thrive in our day and generation. Let us say the good and pleasant things about him while his ears are still able to hear. Let us never more be accused of failure to appreciate the serious service which comes to Washington has done the Neocons of the nation applaud. The whole race joins in honoring this great comrade and devotion to an altruistic cause. Weekly Lessons In English Word Often Misused "Jewels" and "Jewelry." These two words are often misused.

Good Dean Kelly Miller finds himself caught between third base and the home plate, with "Jim" Johnson, of N. A. A. C. P., fame harassing him with the journalistic baseball—all because the alert Dean was not alert when a sizzling segregation grounder was cut off by rapid field work, causing Kelly to pause in his endeavor to make a home run in the March issue of "Current History." Just now, Kelly is trying to explain his predicament to the fleeting "bleachers" who like the usual fickle minded baseball audience, are loudly voicing their displeasure. All of which proves that a man may devote a lifetime's effort to sincere service; and then, with the slip of a verb, one or two prepositions, and a few misplaced commas, draw the ire of a forgetful populace, which with one back-handed stroke strives to wipe out the helpful results or a quarter century's ardent work.

Preachers' Meeting Monday at Bethel Church split on a historical value of Henry VIII, king of England. He G. Martin started the fireworks when he declared that Henry VIII was the best of all the Henrys, kings of England. The Rev. Mr. Martin admit'd that Henry VIII was the father of the modern divorce, but said he was the father of protestantism and God would be responsible for placing the Bible in the hands of the common people. Taking exceptions to this view, the Rev. Monroe H. Davis declared that Henry VIII was not the best of the Henrys, but Protestantism that his life was an outrage and a disgrace to the church. The Rev. George F. Bragg took up the issue here declaring that Henry VIII was a "grand rascal," that he never had any sympathy with the church that had the litum, and not the Bible. Mrs. Napolean Marshall made an appeal to the ministers to aid dollar subscriptions the Girl's Industrial School she is organizing in Hai- The committee consisting of the Rev. George P. Bragg, the Rev. J. G. Martin and the Rev. W. H. Thomas was appointed to draw up suitable Association Court for Court Judge, John C.

Who in hell believes them?" Second—"By God we won't be troubled with those damned fool's" against good taste; contrary to Christian ethics, and injurious to the public in general.

Pratt Street GOOD MORNING JUDGE The Afro Court Reporter Robert Prout, 9 Warner street, and John Clarke, 1895 Oxford street, were supposed to be good friends but this did not give the former the privilege of visiting the latter's home during his stay. According to the story told to the Magistrate in the Northwestern Police Station Friday, Clarke returned to his home just in time to catch his very good friend. Prout, in the act of ransacking his trunks and containers where he kept his valuables, he entered the intruder took a flying leap through the second story window landing on the ground below. Before he could make his escape, Clarke reached the ground and began to pummel the last bit of friendship out of him with a broom. Prout was then turned over to a policeman and conveyed to the station house where he was committed for the action of the Grand Jury for carrying his friendship too far. Samuel Jones, 1023 N.
