NEAR TRAGEDY ON BALTIMORE ST. "You'd Have Done The Same Thing," She Says; "He's Too Sweet To Live" To the AFRO Editor: In your week's paper I read the story about Mr. Harry Smith and myself. Bernice Simpson, Valentine had nothing on him when it came to lovemaking, and if the person who wrote the story had been in my school, I knew a thing. The way he held me in his arms and loved me and called me sweet names, was all too wonderful. Was Jealous When I saw him on the street with other girls I could not stand it, but when I told him about it he would just smile and say he could not see the girl, but with all of them. That is why I went gunman for him. He is my sweet man. I am sorry I did it, now but I loved him and could not see him with another woman. Love At First Sight The first time I met Harry I fell in love with him. He was living on his bed in the Johns Hopkins hospital, and he smiled at me, and after that I would go to see him every day. He is too sweet to live because he will do other girls the same way he did me, break their hearts, too. I am yours. Bernice Simpson. While local police scoured the city this week for pretty Bernice Simpson, said to have shot at Harry Smith as he worked in a Baltimore street shop, she wrote a letter to the AFRO explaining why she went running for the man she loves. Bernice had nothing on him as a boy. "Because he is too sweet to live and I did not want him to break the heart of some other girl as he has broken mine," her letter sobs. The letter written in a nervous femme hand was mailed from some place unknown and no address was given. The young woman disappeared only from her home.

After questioning he admitted that Miss Simpson might have been the guilty party as she had threatened him some time before but he did think she would attempt such a threat to busy downtown section in broad daylight. Constraint reigned on Baltimore street when the face of a girl appeared at the window of the barbershop and before the occupants knew what had happened two bullets crashed through the window windows the legs of two white customers were seated on the booth black stand and one passing through the raf which Smith was using on their shoes. Traffic Tied Up As soon as courage enough was mustered up the patrons rushed to Street, a crowd quickly gathered, traffic was tied up but the perpetrator or the shooting had either vanished or been accompanying with the crowd seemingly as interested and as curious as the rest. Because of the light' complexion of the girl it was at first thought that she was shooting at one of the white customers, two of which were removed in hospital with bullet wounds in their eyes it was later learned that she was colored and was shooting at Smith. Admits Shooting In her letter Miss Simpson admits that she was the person who did the shooting and gives her reasons. Fortune Tellers Offer To Find Kidnapped Babe DETROIT, Mich.

NEW AND WILBUR SPEAK IN THE CAPITAL MEETING HELD IN ' INTEREST OF FISK University Needs $100,000 To Get Million Dollar Endowment WASHINGTON, D. C. Postmaster General Harry S. New, Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur and the president of Howard University, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, joined with the president of Fisk University, Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones, in speaking in the interest of the latter institution at a meeting at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Monday night. Mr. New said: "I am glad whenever I see any people—and when I speak of people I am not going to differentiate between the Negro and anybody else; we were all born on an equality in the United States. If I glad to see anyone interested in the progress of their own kind. "I said that we were all born on an equality in this country. Under the law the government can, should and must see that all people, without regard to race or color, have equal opportunities. No Sympathy "I have no excuse for, I have no sympathy with any man or any organization, whether it is social, religious or political that would to any citizen the rights and opportunities that he claims for him." The Postmaster General stated that he thought he would give some statistical information regarding Negroes in the postal service. He made an inquiry, which that he was unable to get, about this information he said for a reason that in the postal service no mark is set at the name of any man or woman to show whether he is white or black. Not A Friend Referring to a productory remark of Oldir Howard, who described him "as a friend of the Negro, Postmaster General New said that he did not know that he would put it that way. "I want to be fair," he said, "and to be fair you cannot discriminate between men. I cannot be fair to one man without being fair to another." "There is nothing in the world like justice. Let us make laws, yes, and make them as severe as you want, but make them apply to one man just the same as to "Offer opportunities, just and the greater they are, the better it is for all, but deny to the man an opportunity you would give to any other man." Dr. Jones Speaks Dr. Jones gave an account of the present condition of civil education. The support of the Association was withdrawn from the school in 1901. In June, a million dollar endowment has been raised for the school, but in order to obtain it the sum of $14,000 pay off the amount of the unit to be received.

Waters, one leader in the nineteenth Assembly District, under its new leadership Tammany Hall is "high hatting" the Negro democrats of Harlem to such a point that few Negroes will support the Democratic candidates in coming elections. Waters further declared that the Harlemites were now bitter against Governor Smith because of his failure to recognize the support accorded him by the Negro democrats as indicated in the fact that he has not appointed a Negro to any important office. Waters went to the State Republican Headquarters Saturday and expressed his intention of forming new political affiliation because 'Since the death of Charles F. Murphy, the interest of the Negro is above all obeyed by Tammany Hall. We might as well be down South for all the consideration we have received. The former Democratic leader also criticized the activities of Police Commissioner McLaughlin in raiding clubs in Harlem. "Well, I've licked all the kids in this neighborhood." Racing Fans Of Country Mourn "Bill" Perkins Chicago Election Means Rise Of New Leader Group Dan Jackson, Roscoe Simmons And Oscar De Priest, Supplant Boss "Ed" Wright (From Running Horse) LEXINGTON. Ky-William Perkins, widely known race horse trainer, died here suddenly Sunday from blood poisoning due to an infection in his foot. A week ago Perkins turned in his sleep, fell out of bed and injured a toe. The abrasion developed blood poisoning of a malignant nature, but instead of going immediately to a hospital for treatment, he family went on to Dayton last Thursday to attend the funeral of a friend, Moses Moore, another horseman. Returning, he immediately went to the hospital for an operation, but it was too late. The funeral was held from his home here. Wednesday afternoon. He was about 52 years old. He had a stable of fifty horses in training at the time of his death, for himself and many patrons. General Haldeman was among his charges when he died. William Walker. Raleigh Colston "Chick" Walker and some of the oldest horses in action all啦 a national horseman. He first went into racing with the horses of Colonel Jack Chinn when Raleigh Colston was trainer. Bill Perkins had few enemies in the wide wide world. Millionaires relied on him and the biggest folks in racecorn honored him for his integrity. $127,753 In 1928 Bill saddled the largest number of winners. He headed the list with eighty-two horses that won $127,753. Bill didn't have a Crusader, a Scapa Flow, or a Bubbling Over in his barn and put $127,753 is indeed a real monument to his name. He was a natural horseman. He brought out Little Nephew for W. J. Gruber, a Larry Hogan, a hungling horse for $50 and beat.

(Bee Press Service)—The triumph of William Hale Thompson in his fight for the Hale on the chair of Chicago on which brings back to power the wife of liberty has in power the life of the country harks the end of the E. H. Wright dominance of the great 2nd Ward and the ascendance of the Jackson-Anderson-Simmons combination. The new leader, Daniel M. Jackson, long hidden hard to the Wright camp, is on the front as the big Chicago politics and as a figure of high national importance. A man of great wealth and of wide popularity, Mr. Jackson has already announced that he will accept no position under Mayor Thompson. Deprist. With B. Anderson and Roscoe Simmons, the big three of the rockribbed Republican southside, is Oscar Deprist, who returns to power as the mogul of the Third Ward, ballwick of Aldermann Jackson, and the governor of Deprist; hand in hand throughout the campaign. Further to show his attitude Deprist will disband his independent Second Ward organization and deliver it to the Dan Jackson regulars of the Southern Ward. Deprist is complete. When he hucked the Thompson candidacy Wright was told by the leaders, all, except Deprist, being his friends, that he was digging his own political grave. In the primary contest Wright got only six votes, predict or not, compared to the fourommons. In the election Wright, who supported Robertson, the independent, could muster only 13 votes for his man, who got less than 500 votes in a total vote of 24,000. Taps have been sounded for the "iron mass." Jackson's Second ward organization had a tower of strength in Rocoe Conkling Simmons, who emerges from the contest heralded as spokesman of the G. O. P. in Chicago white and colored. Excepting Mayor Thompson, Simmons spoke to more people during the campaign than and N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo was enough to hold the crowds that wanted to hear him. In the white wards into which he is sent by Mayor Thompson and Committeeman Jackson to combat the race and color argument raised by the Democrats Simmons was given ovations never equalled in the city. Simmons is not only the Second ward organization to captain his own precinct, the 26th. He is the ardent and closest personal friend of Daniel M. Jackson. The high positions for colored Republicans under Thompson have not been announced but the Mayor's friendship and attitude are such that it is expected that important places in the city government never held before will be given the faithful. The refusal of both Dan Jackson and Dee Westerly consists in jobs for the factory representation for the 80,000 colored voters who stood by the mayor to a man. The result of the election means that the Democrats are out of the picture in Chicago politics. They fell back on the only positive point with that through the years: "Negro domination." Upon that principle they went to the people. The people of Chicago replied, by the vote, that no such "domination" was feared in Chicago. Lincoln again met Jefferson Davis.

Rapist Goes On Trial In Criminal Court Monday CRIME COMMITTED ON CAPITOL GROUNDS WASHINGTON, D, C.— Philip Jackson will go on trial for his life in criminal court No. 1 Monday morning. Justice A. A. Hoehling will preside. Jackson is charged with rape. He is alleged that after knocking his victim, Miss Daisy Welling, white, unconscious with a brick he dragged her behind some bushes and criminally assaulted her. The crime was committed in the Capitol grounds and was one of the most helpless in the history of the Capital. If the jury which tries him should find him guilty of the crime, it may add to its verdict the words, "with the death penalty." If the jury should fail to agree as to the punishment, the judge may impose a sentence of not less than 5 years and not more than 30 years imprisonment. After his arrest Jackson signed a confession. He was taken into the Capitol grounds by headquarters detectives and it is alleged, he reenacted the crime and described minutely the details. Attorney John H. Wilson was appointed to defend him by the Third Degree. Attorney Wilson has indicated that the defense will seek to repudiate the confession which the police are said to have obtained from Jackson by the use of "third degree" methods. Jackson will also have an alibi. The time was committed between 11:30 and 12 o'clock on the night of February 18. Defense witnesses will probably be called, who will testify that on the night Jackson was asleep at his room place 221 Third street, northeast. Alibi Mrs. Courtney, his landlady, says that on the night of the crime Jackson came home between 8 and 9 o'clock. He went home, and returned shortly. A little after 9 o'clock, he passed by her going upstairs to his room. She remained up until after midnight she states, and Jackson was still in his room. A statement is corroborated by her husband, her children and a brother, Michael Bailey, who was a roommate of Jackson. AFRO VISITORS AFRO VISITORS Othello J.

Wm L. Fitzgerald was named by the court under a $3,000 bond, the filing in Poughkeepsie in a bill asking the circuit court to set aside the dead bed will and after a stiff bait he just returned the verdict in favor of the plaintiff, the deceased filed the second will under influence and finding also that the execution of the will was under fraud, misrepresentation and duress.

Young, whose term expires June 15, according to information received here. Richardson is now president of the Western Baptist College of Kansas City. He was a member of the faculty of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., before coming to Missouri. Young, who ranks high as an educator, has been at odds with Republican members of the board for two years. He was once head of Fla. The curators re-elected Samuel W.

Lee declared Lincoln University had made more progress in the last three years than it had in the previous thirty years. During the last three years, courses of study of that institution were revised, the library and laboratories very materially improved and the teaching personnel raised to a high standard. he said. As a result last Lincoln University was fully a accredited by the North Central Association and the college was also a two-year teacher training institution. Young's friend said the whole affair was regarded as a political plum and any president must knuckle to politicians or lose his job. He had five presidents in the past ten years. Colored members of the board voted with whites to oust Young. The Best Dr Men and C.J.W. GLO Appl in w natur A THE MADAM 640N.WEST S Note: Agents wanted for Mme. C. J. Walker pr Philanthropist Starts Something In Fashionable Pennsylvania Town NEIGHBORS BEGUN IT; DR. BARNES ENDS IT This Is Answer To Those Who Planned Shacks Near His Foundation MERION, PA.—As his answer to a threat to surround his $7,000,000 art foundation in the fashionable town of Merion with cheap shacks because he allowed race men and women to attend, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, white, will probably move his collection to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and turn the buildings over to the Urban League for a center, it has been announced. The decision of Dr. Barnes was made public here last week when he heard that a zoning ordinance had been passed that allows the use of cheap homes near the foundation. He expressed his opinion that the erection of these small houses would eventually bring an undesirable impact and spoil the ideal he had spent 20 years in realizing. Race Prejudice Looms For some time, intense feeling has existed because Dr. Barnes' attitude toward the group and the ordinance permitting these shacks to be built near his magnificent foundation where colored art, is being given away. We have been inspired by race prejudice. In answer to this Dr. Barnes in an interview declared, that he intends to use the colored settlement as an unrestricted opportunity and place to live. He declared that the injection of race prejudice in the question is most unfortunate and an intelligent object to using our exceptional resources for giving the colored race an opportunity to participate in the scientific and educational program? Dr. Barnes' plans include having the Barnes Foundation serve as a national center for the development of the rare artistic and mental endowment of the group. The foundation would provide training in accommodation from oppression and instruction from skilled educators of both races. Should this educational center become a real business organization it would be subsidized by the Rockefeller, Carnegie and Sage Foundations for furthering harmonious relations between the races.

Eggs in the poorest quarters three cents each, and rather than for a nickel.

In the atheism church, in the underground, there are some eight thousand human remains, row on row, some lying flat but the majority standing on shelves, clad in white clothes in which they had worn when alive, some of them over three hundred years old. With the grinning many faces and bodies and hair on their heads, they stand in all manner of poses, and with expressions so weird, so grotesque that they stand on their open mouths all seem to be conversing in a silent ghastly language of their own.

Mary was the one who attested by her attendance at the Crucifixion, her visit at dawn at the tomb on the third day, when she emailed until the believer bed one." Bishop Gaines said that the Easter celebration is an announcement to modernists that fundamentalists will not yield to their new theories. Dr. A. J. Mitchell In Pittsburgh Dr. Albert J. Mitchell spoke Sunday morning at the Warren M. E. Church. Dr. D. K. D. Turpeau, pastor, and Sunday night, Dr. D. K. D. Turpeau, pastor, the Rev E. M. Mitchell, pastor.

The pastor is delighted with the events of our Lord. At the evident disposition of Union Church to seek higher level in the Christain faith. The Easter Sunday service was a morning. Standing room was at a premium and many were turned away. The Sunday School had charge of the program presenting a child and illiterate teacher, "The Garden of the Lord." Real credit was earned by the committee in their faithful and effectful service to the children in such a splendid presentation. At night the pastor's sermon dealt with the events of the first Easter. The fine book on worship showed his delivery to warrant attention. Sunday School attendance on Easter reached a high water mark, considering that no special effort had been made to enroll the pupils responding out of a total enrollment of less than six hundred. It was the close of the attendance campaign for the year past and many received gold button emblematic of 52-week attendance. The attendance and record was made Sunday, Sunday School. Plans are being perfected by the Sunday School officials looking toward the organization of a daily vacation Bible school to discuss six weeks of bible lit. It will involve the education of children of all ages to consider the advantage of a daily church school in which much play and a bit of religion is incorporated into a vacation program rather than to drive their little ones to a summer school. Definite announcement will be made as to the conclusion of the plans. The pastor is making announcement of a series of four Sunday morning sermons the beginning of the annual subject, "The Christ-Message to Men." The themes run as follows, next Sunday, "The Message of the Cross," Sunday, May 1st. The Message of the Easter, "The Message of the Ascension." May 15th, "The Message of Pentecost." This series of sermons logically follow the discourse of the pre-Easter week. Do you may be gotten by those in attendance. 一 MINISTER DIES JUST BEFORE SUNDAY SERMON Rev. C. A.

A German unpreached, declares in part: "Those who have kept the faith need not fear, because Jesus who died or them is dead, and even the people did their cause." "How we dread the grave, that is natural. Death is the gate to endure joy and yet we dread to enter there. Jesus can say, 'I will be your pillow. While on his breast I lean my head and breathe my life cut sweet there.'" Among Churches PAYNE MEM. A. M. E. CHURCH Madison Ave. & Lauren's St. Rev. J. A. Briscoe, Pastor 6:00 P. M. - Allen C. E.

GRANT, of the Washington Conference Blackstone defines law as "a rule of the conduct prescribed by the supra- nme power in a state, commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong." As law is a rule of civil conduct, we readily see that it is vitally related to civil life. Without some rule of guidance society is chaos and marchy. There is no doubt whatever that primal rights are essential to safeguard himself. Law is a protector and a conservator of human life. As it is formed by man, the very existence of life depends upon it. Among primitive man had certain fundamental rights, the foremost of which was the right of life. Incident- ally we might say that the right of safeguard himself. Corresponding to this right was the corresponding duty to respect it, which devolved upon others. A violation of that duty constituted a wrong, and an enforcement that required a remedy for that wrong. Certain rights are personal, such as the absolute right of personal security, personal liberty, and private property in relation to others, such as the rights and the duties existing between fellow citizens, as such, those who work for the employer and officers and the relations between employer and employee, husband and wife, guardian and ward and the like. property rights, although they relate primarily to property, are none the less personal rights, centering in those having legal relation thereto. All law is capable of classification into either substantive or procedural provisions, all provisions which relate to the rights and obligations of individuals between themselves, between individuals and the community at large, and of the rights which violate such rights and obligations. Adjective law has to do solely with the rules of legal procedure and practice by which such rights are obtained, such wrongs redressed and punished. The principal basis of the law in this country is the common law of England. The law of England is the U.S. law. The only Federal law is the U.S. Constitution, statutes and treaties. The relative importance of the written law of the United States is as follows: the statutes and laws made in conformity therewith. 3 state constitution. 4 state statutes. 5 municipal ordinances. Out of the inadequacies and unyielding technicalities of the English system of equity jurisdiction. Judicial law is "unwritten". The oldest known code of laws is that of Hammanurah B. C. Law was administered chiefly by the priests and its procedure consisted largely of long and formal oaths, rather than by relying upon direct evidence. Marriage was by purchase of the bride from her parents. it was the subject of contract. Mortgages, pledges and annuities were very common. Wills were not known under this law. The ancient Greeks wisely accepted the principal property and commonsystem and the provisions of the maritime laws of the Phoenicians. The Justinian Code of Roman laws was enacted 583 CE. The system of unwritten law evolved by any nation of modern law is that of the English common law. This system arises from immanence of the force of law. It is based upon the crude laws of the ancient Britians and improved upon from time to Young People's Meeting at 6:00 P. M. 7:45 P. M.

The law protects our moral interests; also our social and business and political interests. We do not claim perfection for the law by reason of the fact that it is a human institution, but we do say that it is an essential life function. All rights would be violated and no remedies available. It is due to the wisdom of the "fathers" that we now have the U. S. constitution—to guide us in establishing the law as fundamental. No law is effective, however, good it may be, unless it is supported by the people: therefore public opinion is an important element in law enforcers. PARKS ICE!

C.-In her answer to the suit of her husband, McKinley J. Anderson, 1406 Columbia road, northwest for an abusive divorce. He and Anderson denies his charges of infidelity. In his bill of complaint, Mr. Anderson questions the paternity of her 4 months old child, Felton, who was born December 18, 1926.

Anderson, Jr., 4 years old, Louise Anderson, 3 years old, and Felton, whose paternity is question- Mrs. Anderson attributes their marital difficulties to the desire of her husband to be rid of her in order that he might marry another woman whom he considers to be more suited to be his wife. She admits that she has not lived with her husband since December 18, last, when she was taken to the Columbia Hospital. She returned to their home December 29, she says, and her husband came in and ordered her to leave and take the infants with her. Home Raided Mrs. Anderson denies that her husband had their home raided in March, 1926, and found McIntyre in the bedroom with her with the doors and blinds fastened. She states that he returned home with a policeman and demanded the arrest of McIntyre, who was talking with her in her bedroom, but she and McIntyre were fully clothed and the doors were open, and the policeman refused to make the arrest. She contradicts the statement of her husband that a few days after this alleged raid she asked him for money with which to visit her mother in order to forget her wrongs and live a better life. At the point of a gun, she charges, April 27, 1926, he ordered her to visit her mother and take their two children with her.

Let Ministers Go To Movies Says Ra Put Minisrty On Par With Out Of Greed, Jealousy An Let Ministers Play Cards, Go To Movies And Dance Says Ralph Matthews Put Minisrity On Par With Other Professions And Rid It Of Greed, Jealousy And Graft, Says Writer (By RALPH MATTHEWS) We see by the papers that Professor William Stuart Nelson, in an address here last week laments the fact that so few men are educating themselves preparatory to entering the ministry and that of the two thousand and eighty who were filled by trained men, he declared. Why does this exist? The clergy says it is because modern youth is not willing to make the sacrifices demanded by a ministerial career. Educators say it is because other professions offer more lucrative returns. Hundreds of other reasons are given, but the good one is that if there could not be something radically wrong with the ministry itself, smashed up a dozen autos, bought a half dozen homes and is sent on an annual three months' vacation, the expenses of which are paid by the sisters and brothers who must stay at home in order to come up with their uttings. All these good things come to him who knoweth his onions regardless of whether he spent twenty minutes or twenty years in an institution of learning.

All these good things come to him who knoweth his omons regardless of whether he spent twenty minutes or twenty years in an institution of learning. The Methodists The Methodist ministry is even less inviting than the Baptist. While there is a certain standard set before a man is admitted to the conference of this denomination, yet the alqeebes are so political that his education does him no good. Year after year trained and capable men are buried in little out of the way communities, hardly able to pay them a living wage while a gang of favored yokels are picked up by the government, simply because they are members of a clique. Muck-de-Mucks In the event that the trained minister does through his own efforts develop a desirable pastorate after years of hard work—what happens? Some member of the "muck-demucks" looks upon this with greedy eyes, puts a bug in the Bishop's ear, and snatches the prize. Methodism a good line of soft soap will go just as far as a theological education, if not further. So what incentive has a young man to spend half of life in school when the returns are not commensurate with his training? To be blunt, why should a man prepare for success in church need when that success is governed large- those who are mentally his inferior? Social Emancipation It is strange but true that the same people who seek the best lawyer to get them out of trouble, the best prepared to fight them, will trust a jackass to keep them out of Hades. What is the answer? How can the ministry be made more effective, might be in social emancipation. By this we mean rid the profession of the ideas of "fogism" that makes it criminal for a minister to enjoy the same teachers, doctors, and lawyers indulge. Go To Movies Why should a preacher simply because he is a preacher go to the devil any quicker for going to a movie, playing cards, or dancing when he should help him? Why should a man, simply because he is a minister deny himself and family the luxuries of life? The idea of the clergyman leading a life of sacrifice is not in keeping with the modern practice of teaching us to teach us by precept how to die, but by example, how best to live. Half Shells Weed out the half shells, rid the organization of greed, jealousy, and graffiti discard and pettiog. Put the ministry on a par with other professions. The ideas of the Puritan age can be applied to the way Modernize it or be content with the type of men we have and cut out the squawk. bo-Malone, through her earnest very best Hair and Toilet Prep- ed beyond question, under the Hair and Toilet Preparations so years the accepted standard, g thousands as seasoned and Please Particular People.

He was the orphan of Wingland. It was a sad sad story how his parents met their dead. In a hot summer night—one of those nights when even the Winglets found it hard to sleep—Daddy Mosquito called to Mama Mosquito to join him in an attack on Mr. Man. Jimmy Mosquito looked long at the tiny thing before she decided to leave. Poor Mrs. Mosquito she never saw her child again. Papa Moth, who was right on the scene, said that, after the Mosquito injured him, Mr. Man's chamber. Together they circled round and round Mr. Man's head singing. Mr. Man did not want to make trouble, but he simply could not sleep with that chorus in his ear. Rising hastily, he snatched a towel and waved it wildly, then handed it to the manances. Mr. Man creep to bed. Papa. Moth hearing no more of the E-ee chorus. near the dangerous towel. What do you think he saw? There, slaughtered by Mr. Mrs. Mosquito dead. Papa moth troll back to Wingland with the news. Poor little Jimmy. Poor little Jimmy Mosquito? No father. All of Wingland adopted Jimmy. He was every body's child and nobody's child. Spoiled and pampered by first one and then the other, he always did just as he pleased. At eventide he curried home with thoughts of slumber in their heads. Jimmy was starting out on his nightly expedition. In the dead of the night, when all nature was hushed, he came and there singing his fools' song. Mrs. Fly and Grandmother Gnat were talking one day at sunset about Jimmy's behavior. "Of course," said Mrs. Fly, "I know my son Philip is bad, but he is not半 so annoying as Jimmy's. "Have you not noticed?" asked Grandma, "Oh, Johnny always says an 'e-couss'." "Surely I have," retorted Miraz. Fly and "Wolf." Grandma Gnat continued, "I bet you did not know that Jimmys mother and I were the same." And the night they wore shim. "Yes mum," answered the Gnattles, ma Gnat. "Some words they flew away to seek Jimmy. They flew here and there; they searched everywhere but no Jimmy! They finally overtook the Gnattles and searched everywhere! They were foolishly gadding about as usual. "Stop your whirling!" cried their grandmother," and listen to me. "Yes mum," answered the Gnattles, pausing for their "Have you seen Jimmy Mosquito?" asked Grandma Gnat. "No!" the Gnattles answered in chatter. "Walt! Walt!" piped up a thin little voice. "I think I know where Jimmy is, him with someone going somewhere." With whom, pray? asked Mrs. Fly. He was playing with the aftermath, then son, Philip. "Oh! My Philip!" shrieked Mrs. Fly in alarm. "Where did they go?" answered the thin little voice. "just like his father and mother," said Mrs. Gnat. "but he will sing that man's song." No, not "cried Mrs. Fly. Didn't you hear that Gattie say Philip is "no, Philip isn't for there he is," responded Grandma Gnat. "Where is Jimmy now?" asked Grandma Gnat. In spite of his waywardness, she was very fond of the creatures. Then too, she was an orphan who had been answered that the other children had had. "I left him," answered Philip quickly. "I look at you. I see you. I get sleepy; but Jimmy said that nighttime was his time. When I left he was just rehearsing a song to sing in Mr. Marsh. He was high up, Fly. He will certainly be slain like his father" and mother. That was their song. "We go to warn him," suggested Grandma Gnat. Orphima Ghat. "Yes, let us" agreed Mrs. Fly Away they flew to Mr. Man's chamber. Fortunately there was a hole in the window screen, and Mrs. Fly and Grandma Gnat entered with ease. Just as they entered, Mr. Man was standing in the center of the room waving a hugh towel. Mrs. Fly and Grandma Gnat stood far out of his reach. Finally, Mr. Man went back to his bed, but the visitors had seen nothing that looked like Jimmy. Then a faint "E-e-e" from somewhere on the floor attracted them. They looked down and there, sadly injured, lay Jimmy Mosquito. "Jimmy, how many times have I told you to keep out of Mr. Man's chamber?" asked Grandma Gnat. cinnamon "that's how your mother and father would say." said Mrs. Fly. "That's how your Mouth and father were killed," said Mrs. Ply. "That same song," added Grandma Gnat. "What song? asked Jimmy, surprised that they knw. "That little 'Be-e-ee song', you know the one, please please stop scolding about my song and get me away from here," begged Jimmy. "Do this and I shall promise to stop singing." Grandma Gnat and Mrs. Fly did as Jimmy begged. Between them, they lifted the invalid to safety, where he had to remain until his broken leg was well. But Dot was still there. He was still the same spoiled Jimmy and one the first day that he was out he went about singing the same foolish "E-love" song. GOOD WILL GROUP TOUR THE CITY Mrs. Elizabeth Meijer, White.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly YE YOUNGER FOLK "We-e-e-e- Will-l-l-l-l Sting-g-g-g, Me-c-c ```markdown ``` Just three hundred and sixty-three years ago today a child, destined to become the most important figure in English literature, was William Shakespeare, talented with whom every boy and girl over ten years of age ought to be familiar. In the little town of Stratford on the banks of the Avon Stream, Shakespeare first saw the light of day, father, a merchant of the city, a merchant of his time to making life easy for his wife and many children. To his mother, the boy William turned for understanding. Though she could neither read nor write she was able to create a wonderful companion for her unusual son. It was through her that the child, roaming the fair fields of Stratford, learned the names of the flowers, the calls of the birds, and many other charming things about nature. William attended was very crude and in many cases the teacher knew little more than the pupil. Not until after he had married and forced by poverty, had gone to another William place of location of experience which made possible his great success. In London Shakespeare started his career as a menial worker in the theatre and by persistent effort worked up to player. In this role he soon discarded that he could write plays as good as he could play, since he was acting. His rapid ascent to fame and fortune followed as one excellent play succeeded another. He soon became the master of English drama. In 1597 so large was his fortune that he bought for his family one of the most beautiful estates that his home town offered. During the next fifteen years he frequently visited Stratford, but not until 1619 did he return to spend time with his family with his family. Here he died in 1616 at the age of 22 and in the little parish church yard found his final resting place. No little town, however, can hold or claim him. He belongs to the world. No type of human being was too lofty to be used as a subject for his plains and no man so lowly that his life did not present an interesting study. All the great human emotions this book presents his drama is the story for the boy who is driven by ambition; for the girl of the sharp tongue; for the lads and lasses entrapped by love; and for the old scorned by ungrateful children. The lovers of the sad and gloomy will find tragedy enough in the great man's pages, as the lover of the lowly will find every image that dreams can conjure. Shakespeare, the immortal! Shakespeare, "a little lower than angels!" Ignorant is the boy or girl of ten years or over who is not familiar with such a man. Make a hasty trip to the library and procure a volume of Shakespeare's plays, you may even select at random because any one of them is interesting. If you find the plays, a little difficult to understand ask for "Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare." In this volume you will find many of the master's stories retold in simple language for you.

Renovating Old Furniture By Elsie Owens Guests coming next week! That news had just come to me in a letter the postman brought yesterday. I looked round the bare guest room, feeling so discouraged. A press room but unfurnished. What could I do? I went to the attic. There were many pieces of old furniture there, but in bad shape. Aunt Emma's old bureau, it had been stained walnut once upon a time; an old an old an old all in different finishes. I wondered if I could use them. But I thought, the guest room will surely not be artistic. Suddenly an idea came to me. I would paint. I went to the store, purchased a pale green stained a pale green, and then I started to work My husband brought the old furniture down to the guest room. I spread papers around, then washed my furniture thorolv. Then I was ready to paint. I had bought one of the new lacquered wooden diddies to remove old finish at all. I put one on coat. In a couple of hours it was dry enough for a second coat. The next morning I put on a third coat. The results were astonishing. The fashioned bureau now looks like some old furniture to remove furniture seen Charles street. All the pieces had been brought together into a pale green suite. Then another idea came to me. I decided to decorate the furniture. I got some gold paint. With this I put touches on the quaint knobs and pencil handles, and found the drawers, and the chest doors. The results were pleasing. My furniture looked still more expensive. Then I thought of the little painted designs seen decorating furniture. So I bought a set of decalcomania transfers. Little cushions in one of rugish green, darker than the lacquer. I followed directions found on the envelope, which were so simple. Just put a thin coat of 12 BEAUTY FREE!

But demand McCoy's, the original and genuine, glue on face of transfer, let stand a few minutes, then place face down on parts of furniture to be decorated—flatten out with palm of hand, pull off heavy paper. Then put the paper on the thin tissue with a wet cloth, the thin tissue will release. Well I was so excited, for on my bureau was the dearest dune scene. I put decorations on each piece of furniture and now instead of looking like junk it looks like "a million dollars" for a little exertion and about $3.50. Now I shall get a rose spread and put rose hangings at a windows. When my guests come they will have a pleasant room.

As the sponsor of jazz tendencies in dancing, Wayburn views the "Stomp" as another edition of the "Charleston", but newer, livelier and more fascinating. The "Stomp" apparently has little regard for grace. There is no dancing on the toes. Leg movements are similar to the "Charleston" but feet are brought down at, the toe and heel simultaneously. It is doubtful if a regiment of cavalry marching across a ballroom floor would create such a rhythmic racket as the "Stomp". It promises to be the noisiest of all.

EN RE The G The Newest Music By Record Stars Blues that are of the deepest indigo jazz that stresses rhythm to an extraordinary degree. congregational singing that preserves all the atmosphere and sincerity out of which the spirituals were born, are to be found in some of the most recent recordings by nationally famous musicians. Blues jazz that is calculated to stimulate lagging feet to the same degree as a new Victor recording by the Dixieland group, the Lard Away," with a vocal story of the borrowing deacon, and Jazzo Green's pathetic appeal to his most famous song, "Day." It is a rare combination of laughable lines and spontaneous redot jazz. The companion number, "Rent Rag," is equally foot-teasing. And those who have not heard Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra to the way of high temperature jazz. This famous organization is represented in the new Victor list represented in the new Missouri Wobble. Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers, whose name is accurately denoted "Grandpa's Spells," played in a manner which would indicate that grandpa was a gay old bird with a year-old high stepper. With it is recorded "Cannonball Blues," by the same organization, and it is as blue as the other high spots in the Victor list. There are two stomp numbers by the Savoy Bearcats, "Stampede," and "Hot Character," that innately sing, singa Eden Winston, "Pail In My Hand," and "Mamma's Gonna Drop Your Curtain," and "Donna," the disguised Volunteer Theater, who organ, at his best with "Rusty Pail Blues," and "Sloppy Water Blues." J. M. Gates and his little congregation have become a recording favorite in the last few months. Their most recent Victor record contains "Hosees in the Wilderness," and "Hosew Children in the Fiery Furnace." Deacon A. W. Wilson is also responsible for one side of which is "You Need Jesus on Your Side," and on the other is "Certainly Lord." Some excepterists heard in the congratulatory sings. Among prominent artists heard over the radio during the Easter festivities was Harry T. Burleigh, composer and arranger of spirituals and baritone soloist of St. Georges Church, who was heard over WJZ at four o'clock from "The Resurrection." The great baritone's voice came over great and was one of the radio features of the day. Utica Jubilee Singers The Utica Jubilee Singers were heard from WJZ at 7:30 Sunday night. These artists sang a program of Southern chants, including such selections as "Steal Away," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," and "Little David, Play On Your Harp." The Utica Singers have been features of WJZ since their entry into the radio field. UTICA JUBILEE SINGERS The Utica Jubilee Singers were again heard from WJZ at 7:30 o'clock Sunday night in a program of typical Southern religious chants, including the following: "Steal Away," "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray," "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," "Little David, Play on Your Harp."

Arnold "Models" Pack Bijou NASHVILLE—Irvin C. Brown, C. Allen's all-white, Brown Skin Models" packed the 2,000 seats of the Bijou Theatre, here, last week, despite the fact that the Lenten season was on. An wonder at the huge success attained by any of Mr. Miller's presentations. Why? Simply because he has the ability of "knowing" the ins and outs of the amusement game, knows how to get the biggest jaws we want in the way of intrinsic amusements. All of his shows take personal pride in providing a very shaggy glance at the dresses in an outlay of handsome costumes. All of his shows boast of an outlay of attractive scenery. Thus is it any wonder that Irvin C. Miller is not accredited for bringing a huge undertakings. Among its large cast of artists are such names as M. W. Hawley, George Randol, Misses B. Berts, Berts Upsew, Elmore Feake, Meva Metcalf, Lily Yunn, Dorn Woods, Olivia Yunn, Teddy Johnson, Cecil Graham, Theresa Williams, Ruby Myers, Mildred Minstrel Morris, Doe-Doe Green, Ossie Lyles, Goins and Wilson are among the males. Among the staff are the following: Miss Blaine Jackson, business manager; props, Ossie Miller; stage manager; props, Ossie Miller; electrician, Monte Hawley, wardrobe mistress, Camilla Miller. The music teacher of four hands of Cuney Counor, also known as one of the best in his line of work. The Lenten season has been on for the past few weeks, and during this time it has placed a K. O. on all the amusement rides. The business in the various houses, motion pictures included, gaining an upward trend, it been a downward one instigate, and the managers have been the ones to usher since Lent set in, a large jority of Nashville's enthusiastic amusement lovers have turned attention to the churches,urches, attending too, as often as is possible while Lent is on. Hence, the writer knows too, that, Nashville, the only city whose amusement lovers toward the churches during the Lenten season. But like everything else time brings wonderful changes, seasons come and seasons go, and during such a decade must either be a sacrifice or a deference to the amusement line as the case happens to be. Since the opening of the new season of 1827, long before the Lenten season, both white and colored, has been very inviting. Now we have the summer month to celebrate July, usually, as the happens to be, they are slumpy months, in the amusement game. Right now, and in justice to the circuit's welfare. I dare say, that there are no better class of attractions being booked out of either the Chattanooga, Southern end, Chicago, Western end, or that office of S. H. Dudley, of Washington, D. C., that can dare compete with such attractions as these offices are furnishing. And what's more, they are getting better as time goes on. It's the right kind of theatrical offerings that go into the hosts of theatres on the T. O. B. A., that materially help swell the box-office receipts. A medocre theatrical offering whether it be a vaudeville presentation or a tabloid, is like a spoilt child, he's just too bad. Hence no one wants to sit beneath the roof of any theatre and witness a "just too bad" theatrical offering. Again, a good show can be a good show, and a bad show can be a bad show. It's a mansion of flair on smaller rooftops; shingles on smaller rooftops of roofs. And, too, a show of this calibre, is usually the means of elvine the newspaper reviewers' criticism, a chance itself known, the enthusiasm the view branch of the enthusiastic treasurer's attention it's dollars to dounts the show will be the talk of the town in which it appears as Old Man's Thing. Once said: "The man's the thine". So try and endeavor to carry out old "Bills" logic.

Isaac Campbell, 606 Arlington avenue, learned in the Western Police station, Friday morning, when he was arraigned on a charge of destroying property. An officer standing in the 500 block of Fremont avenue. Thursday night, was attracted by the crash of a window pane. At 520 Fremont avenue, he saw the scattered fragments of what was formerly a display window of a shop store. Looking in all directions the patrolman was puzzled to see no one going or coming. He was just turning the corner when he looked back to see a man leave a vestibule and walk slowly down the street. The walker, who turned out to be Campbell, was under arrest. He decided that he knew nothing of the thick throwing at first but later admitted that he had an idea who did it but was not incited to tell. "In that case," said the Magistrate. "We'll just fine you for keeping your mouth shut." "$10, please." Roger Garnett. 28 S. Caroline street, and Charles Turner. 1427 Melderry street, were walking on Pratt street, Monday when they paused in front of the pawnbroker's shop of Morris Kolker, white. 1407 E. Pratt street, to examine some wearing apparel. Garnett stood near the door while Turner went in the back to look at some top coats. Suddenly, Garnett dashed out into the street. not knowing what had happened to his feet too. Garnett had propped about a block when they heard someone calling loudly behind them. Garnett looked back and increased his stride. Turner, still ignorant of what it was all about, ran a little faster too. Garnett stopped suddenly as they turned the corner and jumped into a cellar door. Turner followed and there an officer found them when he finished his search of the surroundings. He arrested Garnett for stealing watch and a revolver. Turner told the Magistrate that he ran simply because his pal ran but he had nothing to do with the theft. "Well," said the Magistrate, "since you do everything Garnett does, you can keep it up. He's "oing to jail and so are you."

She was headed for a lunchroom on Pearl street, she told the Magistrate in the Western Police Station, when she was stopped by Smith who struck up a flirtation. Thinking that he might prove to be a meal-ticket, she did not resent his advances. Smith was willing to eat, drink and be merry, but he wanted to drink first, so they stopped in a Vine street saloon and imbibed freely. Margaret wanted to eat after her spirits began to rise but Simmons insisted upon worsening the order and shaking a playful mood wanted to make merry first. They were settling this argument loudly when the police interfered. "Judge," said Margaret when she was arraigned. "Please let me off so I can get my breakfast." "Don't let that worry you," said the Magistrate. "If you haven't got a dollar and costs each, you'll both get breakfast, dinner and sunner and it won't cost you a cent. They did not have it.

The show is said to have done a record business on Monday. The singing of Lottie Brown is one of the features of the presentation. Her voice is of the type we rarely find outside the concert field. Give her a song with a feeling and she does the rest. Dink Stewart and Bill Bailey (the Chocolate Eddie Cantor) are running wild with the comedy. Dink puts on the "Man In Red" and its a riot. Reggie York. "Kid Pimples" and Joe Hubert are the dancing boys of the trick. Hubert, who was recently added, received a thunderous ovation for his tapping, but was hard pushed by Reggie. Little Mildred Mitchell and Viola Colson are fast, aspiring soubrettes with class and personality. Each in turn does not miss. Reggie and Eva's "Black Bottom" stomp stopped the show dead. Lou Vernon, as the cop and old actor, was at his best. In the latter Lou made a deep impression on the first nighters. The chorus, headed by the fast theaxom Ethel Tyler is fast and furious. The music is all, practically, by Donald Heywood Donald Heywood. The "Children of Fate", a colored picture, has a wonderful love theme and rood clean photography. It has real appeal and should not be missed. OWNER OF ROYAL DIES AT HOT SPRINGS According to a report reaching the management of the Royal Theatre, Baltimore, George W.

Miss Henrietta Loveless, formerly star of "Kentucky Sue" appearing this week in vaudeville skit at the Regent. KILLED BY AUTO WASHINGTON—Mrs. Hattie Clium, 58 years old, 2132 Eleventh street, was fatally injured Saturday night, when run down by an automobile at Fifteenth and You street. A perfectly balanced, clean and entertaining vaudeville bill, about the best this season, is offered here. A white act opens with daring teats of strength, tumbling and trapeze stunts followed by Cooper and Thomas, the hoofing dandies. James Thomas, romping under cork, is hitting high with some light comedy, and we were completely taken by surprise. Georgie Cooper, Jr., feeds him nicely, and in their finale they got away with their feature hit, "In My Home Town". The act dresses neatly and is decidedly good. RIN-TIN-TIN Hills of Kentucky McClain and Loveless offer an 18 minute skit of song and comedy. Henrietta's voice has lost none of its charm; and she, none of her grace and personality. Alonzo hit hard with his song, "Take It Into Cote". Henrietta performs nicely on the piano. Two new members, Lillian Cowan and Eddie Jackson, the latter a real dance artist, appear with the "Runnin' Wild Six." Their repertoire now includes dancing, vocal and instrumental selections. Jennings and Reed with saxaphone and banjo offer a medley of jazz and sentimental songs that landed hard. Georgette Harvey surprised with one of her Jewish ballads sung in her rich and clear bass voice. Musa Williams and her pipes let loose with "Blue Skies" and won the gang with case. Miss Cowan has no special spot, but shows up to perfection in the quartette.

The revue is minus Aunt Jemima minus any good singing, and minus Sammy in all except one scene; but it is drawing the crowds like a magnet. There is the spirit of jazz in the entire offering; in the widely plaued dances and the strains of King Swayze's quintet of symphony artists. The show gets under way in rather dull manner, but it becomes better at end point and reaches a climax. Eddie Cushionberry, who gives his impression, jazz man happer, Eddie looks like a girl, spars his roiled hose like an ultra modern gold digger and has a tremolo in his voice; and with all that Eddie is a man. Sammy has gathered two lads who are not yet seasoned troupers to lead the bill in dancing. The two James Simmons and Leonard Underhill, are on their way to big time and will arrive. Their Monday offering of stepping denoted ability and promise. The comics of George Craft, who ably and humorously depicts the character of a homely woman, were loudly applauded Monday by the huge crowd. George is funny naturally and cannot help from appearing the same on the stage. The girls of the chorus and the principals keep up the swift pace of dances to the moaning music of Swayze's orchestra. There are charlestons which are cleverly done, oriental and muscle dances which border around vulgarity and others which are just dances, no names having been found for them thus far. Leona Miller is one of the chorus girls who puts plenty of extra power into her work and easily leads her ensemble sisters. HARRY T.

MAN MISTAKES WIFE'S PROTECTOR FOR LOVER Screams Bring Police When Husband Leaps From Hiding To Attack Mate ACTED AS ESCORT AFTER WHITES FLIRT Woman Says Companion Was Stranger Who Protected Her From Auto Sheiks A series of errors landed Walter Dougan, 1014 N. Carey Street, his wife, Martha of the same address and Albert Colbert, 2014 Madison Avenue in the Northwestern Police District, on charge of disturbing the peace, but when the errors were straightened out to the satisfaction of the court the trio was dismissed. According to Dougan he was waiting for his wife to come home from a visit. When she overstayed her time he went to look for her taking up his station in a blind alley which she would have to pass. His vigil was soon rewarded by seeing his wife walking leisurely and a man wearing a coat became to Colbert. Dougan declares that he jumped from the alley and grabbed his wife and her screams brought the police. And all three were arrested. Mrs. Dougan explained that she was walking home when at a dark street several white men in an automobile drove near the curb an attempted to tie him. He was the structure that Cobert, who was a stranger to her offered to walk home with her for protection. Her husband mistaking him for a friend attempted to assault her when she screamed, not knowing who it was that appeared so suddenly from the recesses of the house. He instantiated the testimony of Mrs. Dougan concerning the meeting, but declared that he did not know he would be called upon to use his manly arm of protection as soon as he did. The explanation was accepted by the court and the three were dismissed. AT HOME Mr. and Mrs. George L.

PROCTOR, Principal The week of April 4th, was the busiest, so far in the history of the school. The week began with a rush immediately after devotionals on Monday morning. A short talk on Negro Health Week was given by the Principal. The week was successfully carried out in the classes—Monday "History of Negro Health Week"—Tuesday, "Care of the Teeth"—Wednesday, "Importance of Bodily Glenniness"—Thursday, "Boiler Eat"—Friday, "Correct Food Habits". Aside from health projects in the forms of individual compositions, newspaper articles, pictures and charts, a very inspiring health program was given in assembling the classes of the ternary grades. The climax of the week was the monster mass meeting, promoted by the Parent-Teacher Club on last Wednesday evening at Trinity Baptist Church in the town center. The motion pictures, were heartily appreciated by an overflow crowd of adults and young folks. The pictures on the screen were shown by the members of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association literature was distributed by the latter. Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders' 3a class again won the attendance banner, with an attendance for the preceding month of 250. As usual the school bank is showing a steady climb with more than $250 being deposited to the credit of the school bank. Athletics are on the bench.

As the result the girls' attendance for Thursday and Wednesday morning was 100 per cent. The boys' attendance reached the 100 per cent mark Thursday. This class also started a Saving Club last Friday. The members are working to see who can save the most by June. So far, Robert Ambers and Marie Hill are in the lead. The pupils of the third grades are competing with each other in an effort to improve their attendance. The class keeps a record of his class attendance after they confer on Friday afternoon, the president of the losing class awards the prizes, a beautiful silk American flag to the winners, with a few-chosen remarks, in the assembly room. One class under Miss Eva Smallwood has an attendance club in which she has an office in charge. They play the part of attendance officers and look up absentees after school hours. Another class has a chart and each perfect or very good attendance pupil is given a gold or silver star each week and a prize at the end of each month. Much interest and improvement has been noted in the attention of the students and it is needless to say that each class is very desirous of keeping the flag in their room as many weeks as possible. The 2A class under the supervision of Miss Lillian Dorsey organized a club known as "The Good Health Club." The officers are: Eunice Allen, president; Rosa Spencer, secretary; Catherine H. Moore. The first grade classes gave a party on last Thursday in honor of St. Patrick's birthday. There was singing and reciting by the pupils and the story of the life of St. Patrick and other stories told by the teachers. Later refreshments were served by the children in little green and hiding. Miss Adah I. Killion, music supervisor, expressed herself as especially pleased with the music work in the school. In several rooms the teachers have organized Boys' Choirs. Clarence T.

That Easter is a time of re-awakening is no less evident in the social world than in the natural. Especially is this true in such cities as Baltimore where recreational activities are none too varied—due to no fault of our own, however. Thus it is, that after the drab aspect which things take on with the lenten season, we find life suddenly becoming colorful again. The first roseate touch was supplied by the Mitzi Club Easter Monday whe nthey danced in formally at a little get-to-gether on McCulloh street. I think I have mentioned this die is behind him — that he has before, but there are so many rived, to so speak. Dear Naila. I think I have mentioned group before, but there are so many clubs about town that it is difficult for us who are here to identify them when they are mentioned. This difficulty is increased a hundred fold if it is so far removed from the scene of action as you. For this reason I'd better repeat. They are a bunch with all the effervescence, all the sparkle, all the charm of the little Hungarian actress whose name they have appropriated. Hyla Thomas is one of them: Vashti Thomas another: Let me see who else? Oh yes, pretty, little Celestine Thomas. Dorothy Howard, just as pretty, too, not so little. Irene Brenn not little at all, but pretty just the same; and about six or eight others whose names do not come to mind at the moment. Their ages approximate those of the college crowd of boys, and with most of the boys at home for Easter, can't you imagine what a grand and glorious time they had? I was kind of time possession of the one boy of the side of twenty-five. A pleasing combination of nonsense-nonchance, the profound wisdom of twenty-one year old boys, the superb imperiousness of girls just beyond their "teens," the air which says so plainly, "I don't care I stand with the world since I am in my gang"—I could call this to make it. Tuesday gave the older contingent its innings. The occasion was the dance given by the Half-Century Club — one of the social institutions of Baltimore. This group, too, had a thoroughly enjoyable time of it and — in a way, too, that can be assumed they have taken their stage in life. To see them one feels sometimes that youth is really vastly over-rated. Theirs is the calm, the dignity, which comes when one knows that the last hur- MORE CHOIR SINGER MORE CHOIR SINGER bought his wife and alleged that her conduct was not above reproach and that she had not been a kind and affectionate wife throughout their married life. Tells Of Cruelty In her testimony taken before an examiner, Mrs. Lee stated that her husband was cruel and harsh in his treatment, and she was forced to leave his house. The incident which occurred her to leave on October 2, when he forced her to get out of her bed and sleep on the floor. He wore a pair of heavy army shoes, she declared, and kicked her about the floor, while she was just recovering from a serious illness. Others Truths Her husband failed to provide for her support, and she was forced to work for her living, she decided. In order to get clothing, she had to buy on the account of Miss Helen Gray. 422 East 23rd street, a school teacher, who was a boarder in her home at the time. This testimony was substantiated by Miss Gray, who stated that she left the house when Mrs. Louise Edmonds, 1112 Riggs area, who was at the time of the separation a neighbor of the Lees also testified concerning the issue bands court and declared that he support his wife.

HOWARD M. G. ROSS. Principal. The domestic science department of Mrs. Taylor, made an excursion last week to the Western Maryland Dairy to study milk and its products. A most cordial reception was given the department, and Mrs. Taylor, Every department of the dairy was turned over to the school for that session. After a very profitable and pleasurable visit to all departments of the cold milk, Misses Sonia Morris and Dorothy Nichols assisted Mrs. Taylor with the children. Thursday, Mrs. Taylor assisted by Misses Ann Moore and Grace Whiting, supervised an excursion to Henderson's ice Cream Plant. This was another found of enjoyment from an educational and recreational standpoint, of any colored school of the city to visit the plant in over three years. The management expressed its willingness to co-operate with all programs carried out on programs of this kind. The management showed its hospitality by affording a guide for each group and by serving the pupils ice cream and cake in the Hendler recep- The teachers of this school recognize the great educational value of excursions. Follow-up lessons always follow the instructions. Dates were secured for carrying other classes to the dairy and to the plant. The classes of this school, celebrated Fleetwood Week with suitable exercises, were held on Monday, March 14. Maryland Day marked the end of a successful week at school 114. By Grace E. Whiting.

The scene was a crowded courtroom. And the judge was a stern old man. The prisoner before you knew the enemy. A lack of the evening—you know the penalty. Don't let her beauty sway you—don't mind her ready tears. Don't let her youth mislead you, she's wise beyond her years. Her eyes reflect the red lights. Her shocks are thick with pain. But I knew her mother, Gentlemen. Her mother was a saint. She isn't like her mother and yet she might have been. She isn't like her mother and yet she might have been.

Downs made a corking back- hand catch of Judy Johnson's liner through the shortstop position in the field from the crowd when he flung himself at full length on the ground to knock down Downs' hot bounder over the second back.

He scored twice for Darley, Daissies clotted three of the Stars' hurriers to all points of the Darby lot for 11 hits that totaled 17 bases.

Like football, they simply cannot let the game alone, and they strive to once bounce will cure eight major ailments of the game says a mid-western university coach. He has taught that basketball on a team basis in contrast to one-man performances. 1. Save the game to the small clever man now relegated to the show. 2. Virtually eliminate "stalling" the team in the lead. 3. Tend to eliminate the accidents resulting from efforts to stop a dribble. 4. Eliminate 70 per cent of the batteries by using a dribble browning is caused by double dribbling. 5. Force coaches to perfect real play by being more likely to be merely pierced WINNINGS. 6. Take a great burden of officials who have had to decide when a dribble was "double" and illegal. 7. Moderate the speed of the game and give the lighter clever man the advantage through the defense of big men. 8. The one-bounce rule will also save the game for the type of men who will win the game. The 190-pound man with the dribble couldn't be stopped. 9. Small men, no matter how hard they defend, as a result, in the last four years, the small player lost out. We hope to bring him back to the plane where he can play. THE SOX TO START Baltimore fans will get a good line on Ben Taylor's Black Sox Sunday, when they meet the Bethlehem Steel outfit.

The team had to go in the box to pitch for batting practice when Sox players started in to have some fun at the expense of Outfielder Little, a recruit. "You can't go in the box, Bob," said one. "it's locked up". Little was sent to look up Upcle Henry, the groundkeeper, who was worse to the joke, and returned with a big bunch of keys.

COURTESY: YOUR PATRONAGE --- --- NATIONAL LEAGUERS OPEN SATURDAY Many Veterans Missing A Older League Gets Under Way April 23 NEWT ALLEN IS ILL AT HOT SPRINGS, ARK Montalvo, Outfielder Reported A Holdout By Cuban Star's Boss KANSAS CITY—The National League will swing into action Saturday, April 23, with the American Giants, minus the service of Thompson, their crack outfielder, and Kansas City, suffering from the loss of Moore, shortstop and Frank Duncan, first string catcher who jumped to Japan with Goodwin's globe trots. The other clubs are offering no alibis. The opening day will find Detroit playing Chicago, Cleveland battling Philadelphia and the Cuban Stars entertaining the Birmingham Black Barons Monarchs Newt Allen, the Monarchs' regular, will have shifted over to short to fill the position of Moore, is sick at Hot Springs, Ark. and will not be ready for the opening. Grady Darden, who was at school, will report the first of June, together with the loss of the hardhitting Torrentina, who was sent to Detroit, seems to have champs in rather a hard position. The Monarchs have been rained out in their spring training, and arrived in Memphis ahead of time so they can play in the hot weather. Boss Rogan states that the three extra days work at Memphis has put his club in fair condition. Wm. Bell the Monarch pitcher, joined his club here, coming over from Hot Springs. Detroit The Detroit Stars have new management and the securing of several experienced players and the addition of a new coach, working with Indianapolis last season, and Torrienda makes the Stars real contenders for a penant. St. Louis Stars The St. Louis Stars appear about the same as they did last season and with everything working in their favor should be around the top and hard to beat. Southern Club The two Southern clubs with the pick of the star players from the Southern League, and the return of a few of their former players, consideration. Birmingham from their present line-up looks stronger than Memphis. The Cuban Stars, with the addition of the several new faces, will be much stronger than last season. Boss Mollina has been having trouble coming to terms with his crack out of the ball, but everything will come out O. K. For the first time in several seasons the clubs appear more equal than ever before and the fans should see more exciting contests. **Umpires** The umpires who will work this season have received their instructions and their work should be a bit more formal.

Inability on the part of the Bucs to locate the basket rim from the free toss marks played in conspicuous fashion, the team were able to count only 12 of 30 attempts from the 15 foot line.

Coach OPERATION DISCLOSED CANCER OF STOMACH Coach Told Reporter He Hadn't Square Meal For Two Years Coach Ulysses S. Young, director of athletics at Lincoln Uni- versity, died at Hopkins Hospi- thursday, from cancer of the He had been undergoing treatment at the hospital for several weeks after a cerebrovascular was decided upon, and a cancerous growth behind the stomach discovered and removed. Coach Young grew better and he returned to her home at Lincoln. Messages that he was worse and the end he expected were well received. A blood clot found on the lung and later in the heart. He died before his family received the hospital. His body was returned to East Orange, N. J., for burial. By Ralph Matthews The life of Coach U. S. Young, who died in the Johns Hopkins Hospital here last week was for years a contradiction. His work as an athletic director at one of the leading universities was in itself ironical according to the story that he told an AFRO reporter on the eve of the annual Howard-Lincoln Football Classic on Thanksgiving Day. The writer in coauthorship of others was seated at a table upon which was spread a bouquet of flowers with doilies in keeping with that season of the year. The fact the Mr. Young was not currently a co-author and hence forth invites. P I haven't eaten it in years," he replied to a question to that effect. A football coach unable to eat it seemed impossible. A man who made athletes, turned out championship teams was himself a bukup wreck. He had visited hospital after hospital, had tried every specialist he could afford and still no relief. Broad-shouldered, robust and apparently the personification of the power of the baby — for years he had confined his tests to milk and broths. Just here on this hill, he said, indicating with a wave of his hand the wide expanse of campus where he made his reputation, as a student present condition, took part in every form of athletics, went in the coldest days of winter without any more clothes, and were absorbed in cold coddles and paid no attention to them. "In short," he concluded, in grip of jerseys. I lost that which athletics are supposed to promote—good health. The five of us at that task, taken out of statue, confined all day in a safety office, had before we an dmen de- nied him. He was free to free outdoor life he enraged. After he told his story we realised the all- saying, all that elites are not told. The last few years of the life of Coach U. S. Young were a mackerel. He was a member of a family of athletes. One brother, Thomas Lacour, played for Louisiana Lacour Basketball team which for years was the peer of the courts. His younger brother, Isaac, left the interscholastic and intercollegiate high jump record and all-around track man. Young athletes played his pionce. The operation at Hollins was performed by Dr. Dean Lowe, pionced surgeon. Dr. W. T. Carr said today, that I was one of these cases where cancer had not spread from the base of an ulcer.

With eighty-three runners awaiting the starter's gun on Saturday, the stage is all set for the greatest race in the history of the Baltimore Health Week Marathon. John Carroll, who has twice won the bump through the city streets, will have to be in the best class field to show what he will oppose him this year. If he batters for even a brief space, there are several that are figured to uncover the kings. Frank Lichtenstein, who finishes fourth place last year, Ben Kiesner, the "Flying Eagle" from out of Atron, Lawrence Williams and George Park, are connected by the experts to an out-of-the-box first honors. in addition to the above there is Baker Lee, local boy; who last year spawned his heels to all the colleges save Sawyer Lee; who that Lee is a faster man than Carroll and that only his belief that Carroll is the better runner prevents him from being a better national team to way to the tape, say, is usually beaten for first place when the starting gun is fired because he can win. Howard University wore John Harris, George Parker, and Montague Cobb and any of this trio is apt to lead a gay up Eting street to the finish. The fight for the team prize will be no less engaging. Stories from the District and the Vocational School, simply because of Carroll, and Howard University are being poked in the most theatric way possible by the most famous Jones, of the Dundee Junior High School, has entered an even dozen and it barely possible that it will edge their way to the tape before any of the other teams can place their hands on the tape with the Grace Club trio disrupted by the withdrawal of Carroll, who will sport the colors of the Vocational School, the team prize is a difficult thing to Every precaution has been taken to see that the race goes smoothly.

Clarke HAMPTON, VA.—Hampton is contemplating sending a relay team, led by Captain Coles to the latter part of April. Coles, sensational mile and two-milier of these parts, will be entered so the team will skill and running ability against the best of the country. He will, if in condition, come thru with flying colors. At present he is having trouble from over development of muscles, but this defect, if left untreated, will increase. There are five quarter-milers that are showing up unusually well in the trophies for the relay team. They are the best of the three and King. Their time is pretty good in view of the fact that two or three more weeks of hard training are available. Hampton has lost her excellent and versatile half-milier, John D. Moore. Moore was always the darkest of the three, but he could tell when or where he trained. However, he led the pack to the tape more than once during his car ride. He shot put, shot put-repute, will also be lost to the "Seaside" team. Captain Coles was elected captain of the track team for the third consecutive season. Among the old men that will be seen in action at the C. I. A. A.

To The Sports Editor:— Just at present Howard varsity athletes are going stale for want the keen competition they need, but the best of scholastic athletes from the white as well as colored schools. From now on How-ler will be the best good material, for the simple reason that the other schools that are in the C. I. A. A. are bidding for the best. This is all because of the attractive schedules that the teams of this association have by the time the athlete loves nothing better than to test his ability against the best schools and colleges so that the record of the victories hung up on the gridiron, the diamond and the basketball court will mean something to him and to the Baseball Just now the Howard baseball team with an array of excellent material both on and off the field, with name here and there with some small secondary school with no game even scheduled with the ancient foe, Lincoln. Lincoln has sense enough to know that the colleges of the C. I. A. A. have and always will have the good tennis that Lincoln has only that but teams that are within reach of her rather isolated school. Lincoln finds herself unable to support the success of the one big football game with the Bisons each year. Athletic Plant The Bisons' big athletic plant will remain idle and her students will cease to train and make the sacrifices for the "Hill" unless we come down on the level and make up with the best of the colored schools within our reach. We cannot afford to begin making dates that conflict in an effort to exterminate.

When questioned about this condition by the members of the various teams, the men responsible for the condition have nothing to offer the athlete but simply say that we will have to play season after season is here again and the track team that has spent the winter training, the season is here again and the track team that has nothing in the way of competition this year. About six men will see action at the Penn Relays, and the stadium will be, if there is one, more of the nature of an interclass affair. In fact, it would be better to advertise the public just on the strength of one or two advertised stars. Ohio State Relays Why not make the Ohio State Relays which comes a week before the Penn Relays; then, while the public is aware of the race, a duel meet with the Wilberforce team that is being so highly touted? This would give the track candidate the work for the effort. Personally, I fail to see how the Howard meet will be any kind of a success this year, for the performance the same day at Hampton in the C. I. A. A. It is hoped for the good of dear Old Howard that such a situation will happen all the athletic spirit on the Hill. The writer has good reason to believe that it is more for the personal feelings of just a few responsible students than for the student body. If a vote was taken on the Hill for the return to the good old days of the C. I. A. A. competition will be 100 per cent. —"HILLTOP" Claflin Track Meet April 30th ORANGEBURG, S. C.

Thoughts Of The Founder Thoughts Of The Founder As a teacher, Christ laid down one principle if no other, that must continue to govern the life and conduct of every man—the law and principle of love. Who can forget his answer to the man who asked, "Who is my neighbor? The world had been trying for years to answer that question, in fact, even since Cain questioned as to the whereabouts of his brother, whom he had slain, answered, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The carpenters' son settled it in almost one single sentence, for all times. "That man is our neighbor, to whom we can render the best service." U. S. Young Ulysses S. Young, coach and athletic director of Lincoln University died at Johns Hopkins Hospital last week. He had been in apparent good health so far as outsiders could see although an enterprising AFRO reporter discovered Thanksgiving that the coach had a "glass" stomach and hadn't eaten a hearty meal for two years. Hopkins physicians who had treated him over a period of several months eventually operated, discovered for the first time and removed the coach's appetite. There was so far as we can learn no streak of yellow in Coach Young. He kept right on with his strenuous exertion as coach and athletic director despite his own almighty. More than this, he was an advocate of clean sports, but was none of the mucker in Coach Young. Lincoln athletes he turned out played hard and rough, but they always fair. In the celebrated incident, in the Morgan Lincoln football game, when a Lincoln player not on the field interrupted with a probable Morgan score, no one more hurt and apologetic than Coach Young. He wanted Morgan to have every amend possible; he wanted Morgan to believe in Lincoln fairness and goodwill and he actually wring his hands in anguish at the press stories of this incident which followed. All of our athletes and athletic directors are not advocates of what is clean, fair and man in sport. Some of them are to win at all hazards. Victory is to first in their eyes, observance of rules of the game, fair play come second. This was not the case with Coach Young. He left the impression that he sought to make of his men gentlemen as well as athletes. He regret his demise, his sympathy to Lincoln University and his family and he trust that he has impaired his own high qualities in office he held at Lincoln that those who come after him must perform measure up to the Young stand- recent "mayoralty campaign" turned Chicago upside down, notes that Chicago is ill. Democrats advised that the colored vote was 100 percent for William Hale Thompson. Republicans resorted to a number of well worn suburbs as to create race riots, which woke off colored voters from the polls and compel whites to vote against Thompson. One scheme was to invite 10,000 colored "folk to a big white hotel to meet Thompson at dinner. The hotel did not expect the crowd and a riot call was to be sent in. Banners were displayed. "This is a white man's city. Floats displaying white women and colored women bands playing "Bye. Bye. Blackbirds were sent into the white sections by ex-Mayor Dever, Thompson's democratic opponent. Dever later admitted that he raised race issue because he that it actually expedient." To the comedian provided folly, Thompson's bill, $5,000. Finally, Chicago democrats stirring up race prejudice and boomerang. This election have cured them of it but nevertheless it has cribs a bitter dose of where Baltimore was 20 every election, demo-jected the race issue inugaboo.

A brown-skinned lad who applied in New York for entrance to the Citizens' Military Training Camp there was turned down on account of his color, which was three shades too dark. Our dull witted army corps official, this is a government camp, but it's for whites only unless you can get 49 other colored boys to come in with you for a jim crow camp. This is the kind of things we must put up with under the supposedly Republican administration of Calvin Coolidge. "Mush" Coolidge would seem more appropriate as the name for our chief executive. The army runs Coolidge. Coolidge doesn't run the army. Ten years ago the army moved to the president's armed soldiers. President Wilson, despite other defects, had the backbone to set them straight. Then the same army beautocrats declared that these troops should have white officers only. Again, Mr. Wilson is less able to leap by establishing a training camp and turning out over 500 colored army corps. The army policy of recruiting colored units only and staffing them by white officers is based upon the customs and practices of the south when separation of the races in every walk of life is the rule. The army has in this same policy be insisted upon in sections of the country where race equity is the policy and the law? Everyone knows there have been colored regiments in Boston and New York for sixty years. It is also known that both races have been members of the same national guard or R. O. T. C. units in many northwestern states. The army policy of keeping Negroes out of West Point is also fairly evident and indefensible. The point in it all is that Mr. Coolidge sits calmly in the White House and does nothing while braided swivel chair job holders close up government schools and camps of citizens having a certain shade of skin. The N. A. A. C. P., which has had signal success with the White House occupant in the matter of its petition and memorials ought to be urged to come again to the defense of those born black. Its petition ought to ask the President to assert his leadership over the camps and open army schools to all citizens without requiring them to secure 49 or even 2 others before these facilities shall become available. Campaign Issues The APRO in these columns asked recently how Mr. Wim. P. Breening, candidate for mayor of Baltimore on the republican ticket, expects to win. But he multitied his administration program while mayor, four years ago. We asked "what has Mr. Broening to offer voters as a candidate for mayor today that he lacked four years ago when they retired him to public life?" More specifically we revert to this question in the present campaign. Mr. Broening is a republican. Four years ago the city council had 19 republicans and 19 democrats. Mr. Broening was inclined to name colored members of the jail board and school board and 17th wardens for the 14th and 17th wards. He declined to make these appointments, he was advised the democrats would not confirm them. He declined to make recess appointments or to send the names to the council and place the burden of rejection upon democrats. Even so is that the next council now reorganized will have only one, probably two republican members. 16 will be democrats. In other words, Mr. Broening, if elected mayor, can expect to count less city council support than he had four years ago. Will not his hands be more securely held than in his previous administration? Will not he throw the interests of colored voters overboard as he did four years ago in order to make a deal with Mabon or Kelly and get the rest of his program in him? Boering as mayor and the election at the same time of a democratic city council mean that Baltimore City will have half an executive in the city hall? Can Brooming or his friends truly point to a single reason why the 15,000 colored voters who deserted the party in 1923 to retire him from the city hall and place there the present incumbent, should return in 1927? The black administration was inelderly then, what makes its prospects good now? Just Brighten Up If you must suffer pain or loss, if heavy is your given purpose, withhold a song, "Just brighten up," and move along! if enemies scam and deride, if you by friends should be denied, when seems all help and comfort gone "Just brighten up," and journey on! when fierce temptations shall assail, if you against them would prevail, "Just brighten up," and fight and win Call Vernon 6016 DAYBYDAY In The South The Memphis COMMERCIAL APPEAL discussing the recent Chicago election, and depreciating the extortion charges against the responsible for the election of "Big Bill" Thompson as mayor of the third largest city in this country, and completing political equality until social equality is also established. People," says this paper, "will not accept as their officials those heartedly on terms of intimate equality and association in the daily affairs of life." COMMERCIAL APPEAL reasons soundly and perhaps courageously faces a truth that must be faced by American that an unjustly unthinkable absence is absolutely unthinkable down here and to a large extent in all other sections of the country. Having laid out the COMMERCIAL APPEAL then reiterates its stand for absolute equality for the Negro in opportunities and affairs and before the courts. This represents the typical philosophy of white men, boldly in the South, and at least passively in the North, that they also represent the spoken philosophy of many race leaders. This ultimatum, to a large extent, solicits a position, to youth, to also represent the spoken disfranchisement; that they cannot hope to hold office, share power, because WHITE AMERICANS CAN NEVER ACCEPT THEIR ASSOCIATION IN THE EVERY DAY APPAIRS OF LIFE. The same principal will be in commerce in industry and an honest meeting of this issue by both liberal whites and colored will be step in the so-called white problem. The white world frankly says that we must forever accept the crumbs of civilization along with disfranchisement, segregation and oppression. HOW SHALL WE The Negro could well and witily get along without social intermingling. IF HE COULD GET ABSOLUTE EQUIVALENCE IN ALL OTHER AFFAIRS. But here is the truth frankly expressed. IT CAN'T BE DONE. A New Political Era In The Making The election of William Hale Thompson in Chicago, the emphasis given as expressed in the boosting of Governor Smith of New York for the presidency, and the growing tension between the two divide on political questions are certainly showing the wind is blowing towards liberalism. In intolerance, ku kluxxism and bigotry commences to pinch the white man's toe, he conspelled the then unenforced cannot fully destroy one kind of tolerance without giving some attention to other kinds. The nominee for mayor of Baltimore speaking to a group here last week, emphasized this when he Mr. Curran is a catholic and is up against the religious prejudice which has operated to keep many a good man out. The prejudice of all prejudice and prosperity is the same. It is all blind, cruel and without some sense. The prejudice which may keep the Democrats out of the White House next year is the same kind. We enjoy citizenship to the full in this country for the last fifty years. Woman's Love Miss Bernice Simpson, pretty young woman who walked into the heart of her room at her lover, writes to tell why she "went gunning for the man she loved." Miss Simpson tells has been told over and over since the first love affair after the Garden of Eden. Men, women, BUT WOMEN GENERALLY KILL OUT OF LOVE. "Pity and sympathy," she says, "her fall in love with Smith lay helpless in Johns Hopkins as she visited there one day. She melted under, she died. Then came the old, old story: another woman. To him merely the rise of another sun, the twinkle of another star, the another into; BUT TO HER DARKNESS AND HELL. That is why she said she grasped her weapon and ashamed," she writes, "but he broke my heart." You can't analyze an act raging in the heat of the crowd to some of the deepest and best instincts in the human race. Even women who respond blindly to these instincts which protect child bearing, she will suffer more, love more, hate more and sacrifice more than the lordly made. WHY THE HUMAN RACE GOES ON Why Not A Little Theatre School Circuit? A correspondent to this column suggests that our larger organization is organizing a theatrical circuit where race plays might be produced and a better form of community attraction. We add a suggestion that the matter is one for some enterprising young actors in the schools in all sections of the country with adequate auditoriums and stage spaces. We play and we have hundreds of thousands of people who go amusement seeing every week in the city or woman who can properly organize these forces. Here is a chance for both fame and fortune. Dr. Charles Wesley in an Eastern message to pastors at Bethel Church Monday, declared we believe in "the resurrection because we want it." To logical minds, this is certainly an appeal that carries tremendous weight. It is that it is not emphasized more. The spectacle of the Christian religion giving ground in West Africa and China ought to compel a rigid inventory and inspection here at home. Our suggestion is that if here and abroad we emphasize the fundamental in our core beliefs; Christ's teaching of golden rule and his sermon on the mount, and pay less attention to those things which are matters of controversy, religion will occupy a more dominant place in the life of the world than ever before, The Afro-American—Baltimore.

A very great step forward in interracial good-will has been achieved by the interracial commission applauding Ritchie. Peraps. I can say it better than anyone else.

Three years ago, in the office of the AFRO-AMERICAN, after a fruitless contest with the editor of that paper, to look after race interests, the idea was born among a group of three men, who should their shoulders to the wheel immediately, and kept them there to this day. Both gave their money, gave their time, and gave their journal further the idea, and the other, even in sight, gave his talent and time, towards concreting the act, the same force industrious. And by such putting it over. And, after the Lesfature had passed the act, the same force industrious.

Need Is For Educated Pastors Interested In The Youth To the Editor: The young folks go to church merely as a matter of form, because the preachers are unprepared to face the modernism of the world today. Of helping them to keep away from the temptations of today, they condemn them and constantly preach that the youth of today are driving the world to rum. They are doing nothing in the church to hold them there. The church should be next to the home but if the preachers do not help parents to save the young from the temptations, do not encourage the young ones "who is going to preach tomorrow"? We need educated preachers the worse way. (Mrs.) D. C. Smith. 1606. McGhoul street. Member Of The Kroo Tribe, A Liberian, Now Studying At Fisk Discussions Conditions In His Native Language To The Editor:— Please grant me space in your paper to express my views on the Liberian situation dealt with by Mr. J. Marcus Houston, of Morristown, New Jersey. The country, during almost eighty years of existence as a Republic, has not produced a man, who is wise enough to recognize the undeveloped nature of the country, within her boundary which could be utilized to work in developing her raw materials for the benefit of LIFE, and to either ignoring the vital problems necessary for the nation, becoming less independent, or are not strong enough to support the progress of the Republic. The spirit of pleasure and comfort dominate over national feelings among them. The tragedy of it, is that every body wants to be a parasite, the government treasury as a host. The government is not dealing with its native population which inhabitants within Liberian territories. The cultivation of the underdeveloped resources among the natives is severely neglected. It is erratically neglected. Instead of fostering those qualities which make for national strength, which at present lie dormant in the characteristics of the native population, after administration has spent time and money fighting against them, and is doing everything within its power to suppress the aspirations of the native population. This selfish policy is carried out so as to enable the "powers that be" to extol enormous taxes from the tribes for the keepup of the Mendi and to promote the interest of the few. I would like to ask my friend and compatriot, Mr. Houston, who wrote that the progress of the country was slow. I would like to answer the following questions for the enlightenment of those American Negroes, who are interested in the Republic and would be happy to help me grebo tribes, unanimously vote "T" for Hon.

Heard and Seen In Baltimore By RALPH MATTHEWS A local pastor came out last week with the belated but startling announcement that Satan had greeted him in the garden of Eden. That at least settled one thing — regardless of what other sins the Old Boy will be held accountable for, he has been exonerated of that dirty trick. The good minister contends that Eve tempted herself. That is logical, but the man who could have startled all the trouble we have had since the fall of man. Man has been compelled to earn his bread by the sweater he brow has worn, and he wants to satisfy her curiosity. If the Lord hadn't told her to leave that apple be, it would have been hanging there yet. Let to himself Adam would have lit his pipe, laid down in the shade of a palm tree and taken a snooze and forgotten the forbidden fruit ever existed. He and honey yet, if woman hadn't come along. Eve gave Adam a bite of the apple and man has been eating out of woman's hand ever since. That's where he did it alluring. The way so man's heart is through his stomach. It all began with applesauce. Eve also started up the business of wearing clothes. All the other animals in the garden did it alluring and she did it alluring to let the other cats have anything on her. If Adam hadad had backbone enough to say that he didn't need to wear clothes she did not set up fashions, but it alluring abandoned the idea and we would still be wearing birthday suits. While Eve was the first woman to wear clothes she did not set up fashions, she tells us about Helen of Troy leaving her husband and going to Paris. And why were they kicked out of the house? Simply because Eve had to have the last word. The angel was just about ready to give them another chance, when she called out of the cave that Adam, this isn't the only garden in the world." Adam would have swallowed his pride and smoothed things out had not she put her mouth into it. Since that time man have been kicked out of more places because their wives said too much than for any other reason. The parrot learned to talk by accident. With no other woman to tie to. Eve saw him and cared and short blurted out. "For craps sake, shut up." He surprised himself. Adam should have been happy. He didn't have any of his relatives to boo him and Eve didn't injure him wearing his rubbers everytime it looked like rain. They might have gotten a divorce but what was the use? There were not any tabloid newspapers in those days, but you could tell how the other was. -din' rupu ring And even if Adam did stay out half the night playing poker with a bunny to impanzees, Eve screwed up and go straight home to mother. Adam had a tough break. They didn't give him an opportunity to gallivant around and pick out the woman he wanted. They just chucked Eve him and said take her or have her. He didn't have a chance to look up her family tree. There may have been a streak of infidelity in the lady or she might have had halliots. A young man can't be too careful, even though he is the only man on earth. They would be ostracized in polite society today because there always doubt about their being legally married. We could go on indefinitely spilling the dirt on our progenitors but what's the use? Evolutionists have proves that the Eve and Eve never argued anyway. Poem This Week Didst ever hear the legend Of how the lilies tame the earth Easter lilies The flower of world wide fame? Didst ever hear the story Of the lilies one night When the world wrapped in darkness? (In his bosom slept the light.) II Then I will tell the story Is long, long, long since then When the lilies sacrificed our Saviour Who bore no trace of sin. Then in the earth they laid him And rolled the stone above him! There in the quiet vale. II Death could not claim his victim, For Christ is Lord 'er all; And death is but his servant, And he is the Lord Him. He rose one night, remember, And the guards fled in dismay, For his robes were light resplendent And his face was like the day. V And 'tis told, a wondrous silence Spread 'er the earth that night To abate Him Spring beautiful flowers of woe. And thus came the Easter lilies More precious than any gem, And thus came the season And offer them to Him. Do You Know? 31.—Of What has the Finger Ring been a symbol from Remotest Times? When the remotest time the finger ring (usually connected with a seal) was an emblem of authority, which could be delighted by the simple process of delivering it to an agent. The emblem was also an instance of this. They have long been in almost universal use as a token of betrothal and marriage. Where Does Snow Never Fall? In the southern part of Florida and in the northern part of California it never snows. Where Frequently 50 to 70 feet In the Cascade range of mountains in the north and south of California about 5,000 to 6,000 feet the snow fall during a winter has reached much as 50 to 60 feet.

Garvey did the American people and turned the energy which he violent protestation into ne He saw that the mind was seed. He thereupon began kingdom of Africa. The West Indian Negro in America is a political conundrum. Conservative at home, he becomes a radical abroad. Garvey did not join in the tirade against the American people and government, but shrewdly turned the energy which heretofore had vented itself in violent protestation into new and constructive channels. He saw that the mind was ready for the sowing of new seed. He thereupon began to unfold the vision of the kingdom of Africa. Marcus Garvey came to the United States less than ten years ago, unheralded, unfriended, with out acquaintance, relationship, or means of employment. His jasminism was thirty years old, partially educated, and 100 per cent black. He possessed neither comeliness of appearance nor attractive physical characteristics, external appraisal, there was nothing to distinguish him from thousands of West Indian blacks who our seaport cities call him. Yet this man by sheer indomitability of will projected a propaganda and commanded a following, within the brief space of a deed, which made the whole matter him and write his speeches in their The Garvey movement seemed to be absurd, grotesque, and bizarre, but the possibilities of its achievements, as well as the ardour of advocacy of the extent and intensity of discipleship engendered by its author and founder, filled the minds of statesmen and thinkers with more than momentary amazement and apprehension. Cup Of Racial Humiliation Young Garvey in his island home had tasted to the dregs the cup of personal and racial humiliation and chagrin, and had experienced triple ostracism on account A personal affront in his adolescent years sent the iron into his soul from which it has never been withdrawn. Smarting under a keen sense of wrong, his restless, rebellious spirit drove him from country to country and from continent to continent, seeking rest and finding none. His intellectual and moral faculties, though untutored, were wildly active. His mind was swayed first by one wild notion and then by another. The consciousness gradually grew upon him that he was sent and commissioned to right the wrongs of his race. Suddenly the key-word flashed across his mind. Thenceforth this black John the Baptist, with amazing audacity proclaimed that the kingdom of Africa was at hand. The Negro race throughout the world was called upon to repent or change its mind, preparatory to the new order of things now about to be set up, which would solve forever the hitherto insoluble problems involved in Negro blood. The federation of the black members of the human family into a world empire of dreams, a dream which no mortal had ever dared to dream before. At first Garvey possessed only a vague and visionary conception of the world, but more he preached, the clearer the vision grew, until he became firmly convinced of its immeasurable conquest. The bandist is never daunted by practical impossibilities which stand between him and the realization of his dream, well as a cautious conscience, makes cowards of us all. A kindly failure saves the fanatic from the paralysis of provision. Improvement Association Before leaving Jamaica young Garvey launched 'The Universal Negro Improvement Society' and developed ideal of African unity in the background. The prophet soon found himself without honor in his own country. Familiarity breeds unbelief. You do not know what Jamaica because his fellow countrymen could not believe that anything out of the ordinary could from one of their own color, clime and degree.

He naturally turned to the land, the land the found the largest number of transplanted Africans, with the highest average of intelligence and advancement in civilization. When he was sent to the Afro-American intelligence, they received him with courtess, cold consideration, and quizzical indifference.

Of The Minority Garvey 'arrived in New York at the psychological moment. The European nations were engaged in the war, and Garvey, far, stood aside in benevolent aloofness and apologetic neutrality. The Negro caught the sound of the minority and the 'a war for self-determination', and was thrilled by the reverberations. He set out to unite the African people in unbridled the American conscience with the reproach of moral inconsistency. Democracy is to relieve the minorities oppressed by Germany why not those oppressed by Georgia? Why spill American blood for oppressed the Balkans and ignore like the Southern States? He failed to see the moral consistency in condemning atrocities in Turkey why not prevent Germany for regarding international treaty as a scrap of paper while the United States and the United States Amendment, without a reproof or a sense of shame?

The necessities of thousand of Negroes in New York from all parts of the country. Thousands were also attracted from the West Indian Islands. The preachers were filled with preachers and bishopy orators haranguing the people from morning to night. Rights are right, and Radicalism sprang up suddenly whose utterances were calculated to inflame the minds of the people. The West African Negro in the West and seemed to be better adeeds in mob psychology. The West, Indian Negro in Conservation at home, he becomes radical abroad. About this time the Negroes in New York, native and West Indian, are asserting wrongs of the race in such severe terms of denunciation as to cause the government much uneasiness. More assertive ones under surveillance, suppressed the most outspoken publications and threatened authors with serious punishment. In those days Marcus Garvey arrived in Harlem. The West Indies were the point of attachment with the general situation. He directly formed friendly affiliation with his fellow citizens, and more easily persuasive. He did not join in the trade against the American people and government, but rather in which hitherto had vested itself in violent protestation, into new and constructive channels. He axed the organization of the Sowing of new seed. He thereupon began to unfold the vision of the kingdom of Africa. The Negro Improvement Association, which he had projected abortives in the native Jamaica, as a practical venture for the commercial development of the dark comment. He next established The NEGRO ORGAN, a weekly and courtly force for the new movement. This journal reached a wide circulation among Negro people, and carried the great pel according to Garvey to all lands where the scattered children of Africa were to be bound. Sections were edited in "The War of the World." He built "Liberty Hut," a crude tatarian, with a seating capacity of six thousand, where on every Sunday evening he addressed overflowing crowds who hung breath upon his word.

"It hurts me to see you worrying so. Just what is the trouble? Is this?" said Kayne, handing her a letter. "They threaten to put me in jail if I don't meet that expect to have the money in the bank. I wrote that I couldn't and they have got me." "Why, it's only for two hundred dollars. I'll give it to you tonight." "You mean you will loan it to me—and on second thought, I thought I could accept it. They surely can't give me a life to a little thing like that." He laughed ironically. "Don't be foolish, Leslie. think of the grandchild his disrace. You must be careful. You can pay me back if you insist." "All right." said Leslie, hesitant to speak. "shall I meet you and a what time?" "Make it ten o'clock, the Lam- bert Apartments—Room twelve." "I'll be there," replied Leslie in difficulty not stopping to think of the importance or consequences of that. Someone else did weigh it and knew what it meant. That person was Rupert Clifford, who, during a visit to his car, pressed close to the wall that separated Kayne's office from his. As he resumed his seat at his desk he formulated certain plans for that night himself, presented themselves as to why he should spoil this party. One was that he was more than fond of Mrs. Hargrove himself, but he would not no longer be his. The others all saw him was his hate for Leslie Kayne. He could frustrate this meeting Kayne would do to jail tomorrow better still if he were to together—in that bedroom—the town would reek with sound. She would be divorced without a penny—then with his own money he could easily win her. He resolved upon the latter plan as he put on his hat and coat and left the Long after Cleo had gone Kayne paired and repaired his office encumbered in thoughts — though he himself as he was—a closal failure. He saw himself submerged in debt. Every footstep coming toward him made him an intotec creditor than a client. He was not a lawyer, he was never intended for one, he never would be. He only meant more worry, more financial difficulties, to but give up would brand him as a coward and false to his trust. To give up would bring his promise to his mother. He was the artist, temperamental trend of mind which depended on inspiration for his work, calculating argumentative type that was required in the legal profession. He worked spontaneously instead of with deliberate always, much labor in a song just for the sake of accomplishment than he could put in a case, although the latter meant dollars he would probably not be published. Men all about him in the profession were earning a living, but when he was just keeping out of the poorhouse. He did not envy them, they were perhaps delivered with your Milk if ordered a day ahead The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly better business men than he. They were not reluctant to work with their money-making. They did not relent and reduce their fees and were wept or a motherniked his死. Why was he in dent, we asked himself. Surely he was not an extravagant liver. Ifver, he smoked him, but dressed conservatively. But could he say the same of Joyce? No. Was it not her suggestion that they buy him a never pay to? Was it not her exquisite taste that filled it with elaborate and costly furniture; that kept the collectors and instantiated him? And how to set him out in the street? Was it not Joyce's wardrobe that was filled with the latest and most expensive clothing at the stores while he displayed signs of too frequent pressing and was not that she, who in spite of his remonstrances, continued to run up bills at the stores while he deferred payment, needed. And what, excuse did she give when he tried to reason with her? Merely that she was making him pay for her bills she saw fit. Husbands, he reminded, were duty bound to support their wives but wives were under no obligation, whatever, to their husbands. Working and buying what she wanting his money for him. Having summed up the situation, he finally placed the blame for his predicament on his wife. He was a widow, and he had been scolding her. He held himself accountable for her actions. He should have dealt with her | he severely she was young and embenthusiastic in his home that he should have, she would have acted differently. He was quite certain that she loved him that he owned her. He cursed himself for permitting thoughts of Gwen, who had by now gone out of his life forever to build a mental fortune. They had lived together as man and wife but they were spiritually perfect strangers. They had nothing in common, but it was all his fault. He really discussed their problems rationally and sanely, pooled their interests and worked for a common goal, they could accomplish wonders. His trials wouldn't be hard then, the working together instead of apart. He pounded the desk with his flat as he rose to his feet. He had caught his foot. He resolved to take different measures, he would win Jovie back the steps of his home and rushed in. It was a new Leslie who mounted the desk and took over the fool. There was a different stairs and a boyish anticipation in his eye as he waited and listened. For two minutes he stood there. No answer came. With an expression on his face he bounded the stairs. Joy's room was sadly disarranged, clothing was scattered about. He was dressed in dressing peek in her wardrobe showed that a number of her best gowns were gone. Her small steamer trunk had also disappeared from its place. He was standing under the meaning of it all. He dashed frantically from one room to the other and finally reached the kitchen. He found a plate set for him. He turned the corner of protruding from under it was opened nervously. He read— "Have gone to spend the week-end with the Milers in D. C. You'll find me in the office. Expect me sometime Sunday night. Leslie sink into a chair. His disappointment turns in recklessness. He determined to meet Cloar Hargrave regardless of consequences. At nine-thirty Rupiper Clifford rang the door, the office, which was in a different building from his home. The physician admitted him graciously as was his custom, being a member of the old school. "Well well," said Dr. Hargrave motioning him to a chair, "what can I do for you my young man." "It's about that that I drew up for you some time ago, doctor, right after the lease, in the room, in that will you tell all of your estate to charity. You are married again now, and I wondered if you would not like to change it." "Yes, I will the doctor, more assuredly. I shall come down to your office tomorrow." "Hadn't you better call your wife and have her remind you of that appointment?" suggested Rupert, who had been watching the clock. "Clever idea, very clever indeed. I will do at once." He picked up the telephone. For five minutes he waited wi 2 the operator runs and finally turned to Rupert. "She doesn't answer. Perhaps she is ill." home once. Perhaps she is ill." He snapped Rupert, "and I can take you to her." * "What do you mean?" demanded the doctor. * "I mean that at this very moment she is in the arms of another man." * "You lie!" cried the doctor in a mighty effort to control his temper. "I should brain you for that!" He shook all over. * "Does this belong to your wife?" questioned the doctor displaying a handkerchief. The doctor seized it eagerly. * "Where did you get this?" he asked perversely. "I picked it up after she left that man's office today." The doctor put on his coat and followed Clifford to his car. Leslie parked his car in front of the lamber and his arms and after the window and down for several minutes turned on his heels and walked in. He tapped softly on the door of room twelve and was admitted by Cloe, who was clad in a filmsie neiggee and seemed radiant than ever. Kaye stood looking at her, but a smile and to leave, but she pulled him toward her. A big Stuiz rollled around the corner and stopped just behind the smaller vehicle. Rupert examined Kauper's car. "Here, put this in your pocket," he quickly handing the doctor Leslie's revolver. "Now they in room twelve will be sitting on the car as the doctor mounted the steps and disappeared. Several moments passed. Rupert imagined everything as he sat exclaiming his radiolite writter, "Buddy!" asked a voice as some one peered into the car window. "Ten eighteen," replied Rupert looking up into the acquirer's face. "Guess the officer. 'Guess I'll go pull the box,' said the officer with a yawn. Gee, it's quiet on this boat tonight. He stopped short. From somewhere within came the unmistakable report of the revolver. TO BE CONTINUED. Why Do We Have Ten Fingers In the matter of fingers, we again notice that nature delights in variation though following it is not sure that some food end has been served by making the chances noticed in any definite animal. The original pattern for the back-boned animals was five foes on each limb, but now there are all kinds of variations. We find only one of the skeleton of its wing you will and three and a half fingers there. In the chicken, it is the same number but the chicken is ready to break through the shell, we find that it has five fingers, or toes, on the end of each wing you can tell us why it is best for the horse to have only one huge toe, instead of five, and also why it is best for birds to have two toes differently their toes are arranged. HOW SHALL MOTHER CHOOSE HER TASK? KATHERINE D. MILLT It is often so very difficult for a mother to know how best to spend her time and strength, and to ensure that her needs, feeding clothing and housing her family, her problem is still greater. Las summer I seized a most unusual opportunity, and I used my hands for an hour or so each day while I attended a university course. One day shortly after my return I found myself huge basketful of clothes fresh and white from my line, and as I laid aside the little undergarments to be worn unironed, I commenced to dress. Mother attends lecture courses and they have to wear clothes that are not ironed. Sometimes later as I mused over my mother's advice to wonder if I had my interest a grave condemnation against myself. But I am convinced that I am right in the standard I have set for myself in such I want to do for the children that which will be best for them not only today, but ten or twenty days, but only a happy childhood, but also a full rich, maturity. By such a standard I test my daily work. For example, if all of the children shall wear clothes inside and outside that are jipped, that unless I can hire Now sing a song, as you may guess. It certainly ain't a going to rain no less.

Poor Woman, She's Reaping What She Sowed By Lilian Lottier "Your article about the latest revolt of the flapper was good. I enjoyed it. I do hope the time will soon come when we will stop criticising the flapper so much and fire a little hot shot at the older women. "Just think of a mother saying she had nothing to live for and she wanted to kill herself. Her children—three in number, the oldest and the husband had his lodges, clubs, and other interests. She had all the work to do, the cleaning, cooking and care, and the same and she had washed the supper dishes she was too tired even to read. "I almost felt like telling her to go ahead and kill herself. The world is well, sometimes the new man sometimes who can't get any more out of life these days. If she's getting so little out of life that she feels like killing herself, it must be something, nothing really into life." The foregoing, dear readers, is an extract from a letter I received last week. I am sure you'll be interested to know in that the writer is not a young person with youth's usual quick, sharp criticism. She is within bowing distance of seventy. Quitely, gracefully, cheerfully she is facing the three score years and ten which are allotted to mankind. She has reared a family of five, all grown up, married and as would be expected, living their own lives and absorbed in their pursuits. She is not as fortunate as the other woman, for she is a widow and hasn't even the most occasional companionship of her husband. And from a background of long years of thought, intelligent, constructive living, she has little sympathy for the doleful lady with suicidal feelings. I must confess I can't scrape together much sympathy for her, either. I have little patience with the wife and mother who deliberately permits herself to be a household drudge, merely an unpaid servant. Not in these enlightened days when everybody is conceded some rights which others are bound to respect, even husbands and children. There's something wrong with the training in a home where the mother drags herself to the kitchen to read while her perfectly healthy, grown-up children enjoy themselves at the movies or dance hall and these same children are the ones she blamed, either. They're only doing what they've been trained to do, which to consider themselves first, last, and always, and aren't to be patient with that sort of short-signed, unintelligent, almost criminal training which children have been taught to love. It's often called motherlove, but it's a mighty poor, ignorant, harmful kind of mother-love, if you judge it. Who is most irritating is the poor lady's feeling like "killing" herself over a condition of affairs for which she herself is so largely used to be silly and spineless for words? Instead of going on a strike and reading the riot act to her self-centeredness, she uses to be the "soak" and wastes time foolishly wishing she was dead. A thing that can't be cured should be endured. — bravely, cheerfully, unconcerned. — she should be cured, that's all. If our would-be suicide really deserved to live, she'd stop slaving and drudging to help their did their share of the housework. She'd give herself enough rest and leisure and pleasure to feel like a human being embodying the spirit of human beings. Any woman with brains, tact, and determination could do it even at this late day. But you wouldn't be able to bed night after night to tired even say her prayers. These are the days when truly the mother must of necessity cook and wash and iron and clean and nurse and sew all herself with but the most occasional help from the husband and father. These are indeed the days. But these are also the days when the intelligent, forward-looking training is done, when little by little these children are taught to selfishly selfish little animals, are taught that in the home duties and responsibilities go hand in hand with comfort and privacy and consideration and co-operation. Then, with a grown-up family around her, mother can be free from some of the burdens of house-keeping to have well-cared-for leisure, can be free to take up new interests in the world at large. She is feeling and interesting life is open to the woman with a grown-up family if she has laid a good foundation. The woman with helpful things which she can now enage in and for which she has no time and strength while rearing her family, has learned to love you and you were dead. — you should be thankking God that there are so many things to make you glad to be alive these days.

I used to feel that way about wash day too, until one day the thought occurred that the world are wash-in today each race in its own characteristic way. Somehow that cheered me. I suppose, "misory loves company." I decided to plan the simplest of the washings. I will give you the ideas that helped me so much. There's the preparation of the wash. It makes it easier to wash. It is done on Monday and the washing is done on Tuesday. If the wash is large this preparation is done. First, the clothes should be mended, remembering the old adage, "a stitch in time seams a story." Washing may be a large one after washing. By doing this mending before washing it is then not necessary to wrinkle the nicely shaped clothes. Next, the clothes should be divided into different piles. White clothes should be washed in cold water, rate, woolens and silks from linens and cottones, fine clothes from heavy clothes, linens etc. are often stained. Coffee stains may be removed by spreading the stained spot over a bowl, pouring boiling water on the stained stains may often be washed out with cold water and soap, or if this is not successful cover with water. Boiling water will remove all trace of the stain. Egg stains should be washed in cold water. Grease and dargery on the hot water. Warm water and soap are best for grease stains or difficult stains in white cotton and linens and can be moved in a mouvement. Javeline water is a mixture of 1 pound washing soda, 1 quart boiling water, one-half pound chloride of lime and 2 quarts cold water. It should be bottled in a dark place. When used for stains it should be used with equal quantities of hot water and thoroughly rinsed out. It should be covered by using salt and lemon juice. Moisten spot with this place in sun, wash in soap suds. This removal of stains is necessary before the wash, for the soap and water will make many stains permanent. The white clothes can now be put to soak. This lessons the labor of rubbing the clothes as well as saves the fabrics. The clothes should be soaked in cold water without soap. Three fourth of stains are dissolved in cold water. With this preparation a good part of the work is already done, and snowy, white clothes will be our reward. After a night's soaking, Tuesday morning you are ready to wash. Draw a tub full of hot water using some good washing compound. Wring the clothes from the water in which they have been soaked and put them in the suds. Wash on board or in washing machine. Overalls and heavy articles may be scrubbed with a small scrubbing brush. Scrub on both sides. White clothes may be sealed by pouring boiling water over them or boiling in a boiler. Boil occasionally, but clothes well washed will not need boiling each week. Rinse well thru several hot waters and thru a cool blue water. Hane in open air if possible. The sun will bleach white clothes. Colored clothes should be hung in the shade. BEAUTY HINTS BY NINA TEMPLZ CARE OF THE EARS Pew women know how much the ears men to the bringing about a tote to deter. Have you ever noticed the red-blood glow of perfectly groomed ears? There is an art in this. Some women possess the senses, while others face a mere surface require a very special and delicate handling. All of the little roils and turns and murmurings, must be massaged with cream and soap, then very cold water or ice. The ice keeps them firm and helps on with the glow. The massages with cold cream. Remove most of this, then if your ears will not remain a natural glow, touch the lower lobe with a bit of the same rouge that you use in the ear care of the ears carefully, leaving no superfluous powder to fall loosely into the interiors.

VA.—An inter- addition, the store has paid divi- esting experiment whereby laboratory methods similar to those used in physics and chemistry are applied to the commercial courses is being tried out by Bluefield Institute. The laboratory takes the form of a student cooperative store which is fostered by the commercial department in an attempt to supply the needs of the student body and provide a commercial laboratory for the application of business theory and practice. It is owned by student stockholders and the capital of the stock was raised by selling stock in the cooperative society at a price of less than one dollar per share. At present the venture carries school books, books supplies, athletics, teacher articles, pastries, confections and other sundries. The organization government and operation of the store is very simple. The Board of directors selected from the respectable classes of the school, the manager, stockholder has one assistant. The manager and his assistants are advanced students of the commercial department. In a very practical way the manager gets the executive point of view being held responsible for business as a whole and a succession of coordinations and coordination of departments. Studies for "leaks", the display of merchandise and the application and theory of advertising is carried along in a practical way. Big Business Volume The volume of business transacted by the store in its two years of operation has enabled the co-operative society to free itself of debt. and have clear ownership of store equipment and stock of merchandise.

Persistent tumors crop out here and there, however, of deeds being in the course of formation which will place two white men and one colored man in the council from the Fourth District. There are those who declare that Ellison is not heartedly, for Emerson, and that some of the Democrat candidates in the district are depending upon raising the race issue to lure sufficient white Republican votes to put over one or perhaps two of their men. In a signed statement, Dr. James A. White, who was placed in the primary, said that he intends to give every ounce of his energy in the fight for the success of the Republican ticket. WOODCOCK AGAIN SLAMS "DOOR" Amos W. Woodcock, U. S. District Attorney declined again this week to name a colored assistant in his office. Stanley E. Hartman. 26, white, was named to fill a vacancy. Mr. Woodcock had the applications of several colored attorneys for the position he was asked by G. O. P. bosses to name one then. He refused. The Baltimore Giants and the Spaulding A. C. battled to an 8-8 deadlock, at Drudg Hill Park, Sunday. Bowman led the Giants with the stick, getting a double and two singles out of four times at bat. The Royal Blues touched L. Robinson for sixteen hits and eighteen runs in the first four innings and won a slugfest, from the St. Monicas, 24 to 10, on Sunday. Robinson however, redeemed himself by clouting two homers, while Wiggins and Miller, not circuit clouts. Mr. Carter, Says: Get All 1 l These Get All These Want a Beautiful Kitchen Cabinet?

McGuinn And State Senator Levin Make Verbal Attacks SAY CURRAN FAVORED DISFRANCHISEMENT Mayoralty Candidate A Member Of Committee For Project, They Say William A. Curran, Democratic candidate for mayor, and the AFRO-AMERICAN became objects of attack in a verbal bombardment by Republican Senator Harry O. Levin and Warner T. McGuinn, candidate for city councilman, in a Republican mass meeting held at the Sharp Street Community House, Wednesday night. Mr. Levin, in a speech, accused the APOR-AMERICAN of misleading statements in regard to the Interracial Commission bills, which were recently brought before the Maryland State Senate at annapolis Statements in the Upper Marlin. Mr. Levin declared that the colored voters to that the Morgan College appropriation bill has been finally decided and credit the Democrat for its passage. This is untrue, he said because the bill has yet to be acted upon by the Governor before it will become final. Mr. Levin also accused the Democrat of insincerity in dealing with the repeal of the Jim Crow Car Law. The bill was held up by petty politics, after it had been decided. 8 to 3, in the committee room, he declared. The statement was also false and misleading that a salary for the secretary of the Interracial Commission was appropriated. Mr. Levin declar- Mr. Levin and Mr. McGuinn attacked Mr. Curran and declared that he was a member of the committee for disfranchisement the colony held in the town issue was at its height. He is also responsible for gerrymandering of districts, they allege, which through the Fourth District, puts Jew against Gentile, Catholic against Protestant, and colored against white. He broke up this strong Republican district, that it was easy for Democrats by playing upon the vartious prejudices to get a strong foothold and weaken the colony, which led Mr. Curran was president of the Board of Supervisors of Elections. McGinn, in his speech, emphasized the fact that he wanted colored voters to vote for Mr. Ellison to keep down dissention in the ranks. In the Fourth District, he declared, 65% of the total wealth is in the hands of colored people's voting power, he said, far surpassed that of the whites. For this reason, he said, he thought it wise for colored voters, instead of trying to get too many offices for colored candidates, to support the white Republicans as well. The meeting was presided over by John R. Cole, who declared that the first duty of colored voters was to put into office the two colored candidates and then consider the whites. Other speakers were Daniel Ellison, also Republican candidate for city councilman, William F. Breening, Republican candidate for mayor, and Walter S. Emerson, Republican candidate for city man. He being made a strong candidate for colored voters to support race candidates.

HORSE WREAKS HAVOC IN EAST BALTIMORE Three Hurt, Damage Done When Dobbin Goes On Rampage On Orleans St. MAN, LADY, BABY HURT WINDOWS BROKEN OUT Driver Loses Control When Animal Becomes Frightened At Street Car A horse, old fashioned enough to become frightened at a street car, broke from the wagon to which it was hitched and wrecked havoc in East Baltimore, breaking two store windows and injuring three persons before it was finally captured. Thursday. The horse was driven by George Harding, 1020 Hillen Road, when at Caroline and Millikan streets the animal became frightened by a one man car and broke from his traces. The horse dashed madly into the display window of a store operated by Chas. Moore, a store owner in Orleans and Orleans streets, valued at $100. The horse then ran over 13-month old Hattie Thompson, 1316 Orleans street, who was left on the ridewalk in front of her home. The child was treated at the John Hopkins Hospital for injuries, said not to be serious and later taken home by her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson. On his course the infuriated Dobbin crashed into the low window of a confectionary store owned by John Gender, white, at 1244 Orleans street, and then knocked down Mrs. Anna Belle Farrar, 126 Low St., who was standing on the side walk in the path of the animal. Mrs. Farrar was treated for bruises and broken arms. Harding was also slightly injured. He was driving for the Rocks Transfer Company, located at 317 Calvin street. The alibi that he has just returning a revolver to the owner, failed to save Benjamin Roberts, 1825 N. Carney street, from paying a $100 fine when he was arrested by Northwestness authorities on a charge of disturbing the peace. Sunday night. Roberts declared when arraigned before Magistrate Paul Johansen, Monday morning, that his employer, a gun operator, requested him to take the gun home and grease it. SAVES INVALID WOMAN FROM A BURNING HOUSE Hotel Waiter Fights Way Thru Flames And Rouses Family Of Four OLD LINEN IN CELLAR IS CAUSE OF BLAZE Fighting his way through smoke and fire which was rapidly undermining the stairway at 11:30 Saturday night, Sumner Clark, 44, 1112 N. Carrollton street, made his way to the second floor at 1114 N. Carrollton street, carried to safety Mrs. Anna Wicks, who has been-invalided 12 years by paralysis, and aroused her son and two daughters who were half suffocated by the fumes. Mrs. Wicks weighs close to 200 pounds. The fire began in a pile of old linen clothing in the basement directly under the stairway, razed the closet and was gaining headway on the upper stairs before Clark was aroused by the feeble cries of the four occupants who were sitting on the second floor. He forced the front door down, pushed through the rooms and flames to the rooms upstairs where the family was helpless. Shaking the brother and the sisters and throwing open the windows to relieve them from the smoke fumes, Clark took the aged lady to his house next door and turned in an alarm at the Fremont avenue fire station. The others were able to climb a front window and Richard Wicke, the brother, was able to assist his sisters in crawling out a front win- Daughters Teachers Mrs. Wicks has been constantly attended by a nurse for several years, and it is necessary for her to be moved and walked about continuously. Her husband is also an invalid and resides with another married daughter. The two Misses Wicks are teachers in the Baltimore public school system. Clark is very modest about his deed and considers it nothing out of the ordinary. He is the father of eight children, and is employed as a waiter at the Rempore Hotel. The fire was started after the light hit the firemen. Damages are estimated between $400 and $500. MISSING Madeleine Giles, Community House migrating, since March 3rd.

New Parent-Teacher Federation Rules Soak Members Who Rile Prexy COMMITTEE OF THREE TO RUN THE BODY Delegates Say Effort, Is Being Made To Keep Willard Allen Off Ticket Opposition to Mrs. Laura D. Wheatley, as president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Clubs took a new angle last week when delegates charged her with steam rolling through the executive council a new constitution which stifles free speech and perpetuates the power of the organization in the hands of a small group. Items in the new constitution to which several of the delegates who have signed their names to a petition endorsing the candidacy of Willard W. Allen, object are: (1st) A clause changing the monthly meetings to every other month, reducing the quorum from 25 to 15, and placing the affairs of the organization in the hands of a committee of three during the interim. (2nd) Limiting debate by not allowing a member to speak more than once on any subject without unanimous consent and imposing arbitrary fines of 25 and 50 cents on members who violate this rule and who otherwise objectionate to the rules of the president. (3rd) Consoling the news by passing a clause-intended to forbid the publication of any Parent-Teacher Association associations that have the approval of the Parent-Teacher public committee. Delegates declare that all of these sections are intended to centralize and perpetuate the power of the Federation in the hands of a small group. Nominating Committee Some idea of the opposition to the methods being used by the present administration is pointed out by delegates who exhibit an advanced report of the nominating committee in which the committee has appointed the nomination of Willard Allen as a protective candidate for the presidency. After listing the organization nominees this report states that in recognizing the minority they are presenting the name of Willard W. Allen but adds that in fairness it has not patented any ideas in the AFRO-AMERICAN that he had been endorsed by 30 delegates was not correct. This statement was made despite the fact that at that very moment Mr. Allen had been petitioned to run and endorsed by 32 delegates and members of the federation. Unsponsmanlike Delegates of the state that this unsponsmanlike attitude on the part of the administration nominating committee tends to stifle the free expression of delegates in electing their officers at the next election which will be held in May. When asked by a reporter for the ARGO MAGICAL the basis for her committee stating that the report published that 30 people had signed an endorsement of Mr. Allen was false Mrs. Lovey Husketh, its chairman, stated no such endorsement had been reported. When it was called to her attention that such a document existed concerning Mr. Allen, men under their own signature, she said the committee had ways of knowing that it was not genuine.

Plaintiff was Mrs. Nursery L. Willis, whose husband, the Rev M. D. Willis, died at Winters Hospital following the threat operation. The Rev Mr. Willis was pastor of Fulton Baptist Church, against whom a suit filed by Mrs. Willis is now pending for funds with which to complete the payment on her home, 1202 Whitelock street. The case this week was directed against Dr. Hurdon Winters of W. R. Beykins, 6188 N. Colloh street, tanny physician and anesthetist in the operation and Dr. S. Bernard Hughes, operating surgeon. Judge Dawkins, after listening to the witnesses for the plaintiff took the case from the jury declaring that there was "nothing for the jury to consider" and dismissed the suit. Physicians claimed the Rev Mr. Willis died of acute dilation of the heart of syphilitic origin. Dr. Boykin, Rev. Mr. Willis' family physician although a defendant testified for the deceive decaiming patient, hate the this social disease for sometime and sent him to Hopkins for examination. The report of this examination in 1924, read to the court, bore out the physicians' contention that the illness from which he suffered might have been to leus and St. Vincent's argina. Operation Free Dr. Boykin testified that because of his friendship for the Rev. Mr. Willis, his calls upon the doctor as well as the operation were entirely gratis. He was called to the Willis home he said the 18th of May this year he found the minister slowly guilfocating because of his throat affectation. It was an emergency, he declared and he ordered the pastor to White's Hospital where Dr. Hughes was called and an operation performed, permitting him to breath again. Two days after the operation the pastor died and subsequently Mrs. Willis filed it. No Witnesses No witnesses were able to testify to the lack of skill in the operation, nor neglect following it. Dr. B. M. Rhetta testified that Mr. Willis was active and able to do his work up to the time of his operation. Justices, Burrell and Wartt together with Henderson, the chair leader, were in the court room to testify that the pastor had been unable to perform his duties two weeks before the operation. Physicians were called. Physicians in the room there to testify for the three defendants were Dr. J. G. McArae, Dr. H. S. McCard, Dr. Herbert Blake and Dr. John F. McCard. Jude Gawkins' verdict was a non pros as to Dr. White, and in favor of Drs.
