THREATENED TODIXIE FARM KILL VERMONT OWNERS WANT AVENUE PASTOR LABOR GUARDED Elevator Operator's Ire Aroused Against Wife's Minister SHE FILES SUIT FOR LIMITED DIVORCE Papers Allege He Made Her Shorten Skirts And Attend Movies WASHINGTON, D. C.— Her husband, Barkley Hawkins, an elevator operator in the Interior Department, threatened to kill Rev. Jas. E. Willis, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Bapt. Church if he ever caught him in their home again, Mrs. Fannie E. Hawkins, 1826 Sixth street, northwest, declares in her bill of complaint for a limited divorce filed thru Attorney Armond W. Scott on Tuesday After their marriage, she says, they lived happily until her husband suddenly began to curse and abuse her. When she inquired of him the reason for the change in his attitude toward her, he demanded that she cut off her dresses to the knees and attend moving pictures shows with him, she claims. She explained to her husband, she states, that she was a Christian and of the Baptist faith and would not dress modernly or attend moving picture shows. Before their marriage she asserts, her husband promised to attend church with her every Sunday. On one occasion, Mrs. Hawkins declares, when she and her husband were sitting in the dining room, she received a telephone call from Rev. E. H. C. to come to his house to attend a meeting of his church members for the purpose of discussing the raising of money towards the church day. She accrued five days in the presence of her husband. Upon her return home, she states, her husband asked her what the pastor wanted. She told him that the church sum of $200 for 90 days, she says. The next evening he cursed and abused her. Mrs. Hawkins charges, and told him that if he ever caught her, he would house her and he would kill him. Mrs. Hawkins further charges that her husband remained away from home on one occasion of illness from her which she had got from benefit societies on account of illness and never paid it back, assaulted her and threatened to send her to an insane asylum. He deserted her in April, 1885. The couple was married in the District of Columbia in 1981. They lived at her home, 1829 Sixth street, northwest. Mrs. Hawkins asks—the court to grant her temporary and permanent counsel fees and a limited divorce. gineers expect about three-tenths of a foot more before the crest.

The whole country was shocked this week when it learned that some of the large plantation bosses, armed with six shooters and riding fast horses or motor cars kept a thousand colt workers in an area manned by the flood because they feared if they were sent to a refugee camp, they would leave the plantation for even and seek better conditions in Adjustant General Curtis G. Green, white, of the National Guard, Dr. H. Boswell, of the State Board of Health, detailed Dr. H. Boswell, white, to visit several points in the delta week in order to see the gee camys by explaining to the planters and business men that their labor will be protected from labor agitation. General Green cannot be responsible for this matter in unauthorized camps, declared Dr. Underwood. The authorized camps are at present located at Vicksburg, Yazoo City, greenwood, Cleveland, and Greenville. Fear Labor Agents It is believed that the principal reason why so many refugees remain in small camps where it is impossible to protect them, is the fear of the planters that labor agents will seduce their laborers to other parts of the state. These agents are prohibited from the beginning in authorized camps. All labor in these authorized camps will be held and not allowed to go to other sections of the state. They have passed and conditions are such that they can resume work, they will be taken back to their homes in the various sections of the delta from the planters. Would Be Ruined Some of these large plantations in the delta regions which specialize in rice production occupy acres in extent and employ hundreds of workers. The owners live in the large cities, they employ the farmers to manage their farms. Black workers live in shacks and early each morning are routed out to the fields where the schools are built on the plantations by the owners and there is no school or church during the season when Some of these workers are already indebted to owners, the bosses say for their winter supplies and if they are going to go north, planters will be ruined.

Scored By His Own Constituents CHARLESTON, W. VA. The state of West Virginia will pay expenses of colored students of law, medicine and engineering who are barred from attending the state university for whites. Legislation to this effect was passed by the State Legislature in dyears, last week. Under provisions of the law, residents of the State who have completed a four year high school course in the State or have resided in the State for five years and who have pursued two years of college work in one of the State schools, provided for college, will have their tuition and fees paid in universities outside of the State in sums equal to the State students and those from other States who attend the West Virginia University. Advisory Council This new law will be administered by an advisory council to the State Board of Education, composed of the State supervisor of colored schools and the commissioner. The aim is to give the benefit of each course at medicine, engineering and law to the large number of colored youths who cannot attend the white schools of the State to get an education for in Bluefield and West Virginia Collegiate Institute, the colored State schools.

His attack was so unexpected that his members of both races were surprised and astounded. S100 to S150 As the measure passed its fees will amount to from $100 to $150 a term, Harpers opposition consaculated the bill but was unable to kill it. Over the State wrote, talked and or hundreds of colored constituents diagraphed by representatives until the bill was taken out of the committee in the dying days of the Legion and passed.

TO ASK NEW TRIAL FOR D. C. RAPIST TO ASK NEW TRIAL FOR D. C. RAPIST Say U. S. Attorney Referred To Prisoner As "A Brute" FAILURE TO PRODUCE BLOODY CLOTHES CITED If Appeal Fails, Jackson Will Be First Prisoner Electro- cuted In D. C. WASHINGTON. D. C.-Philip Jackson, alias "Slim," convicted of criminally assaulting Mrs. Daisy Welling, white, in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18, will probably be the first man accused in the District of Columbia. There are three white boys, San Moreno, Nick Eagles and John Proctor, who are under sentence of death for the murder of Policeman Leo W. Pusey. The date of their execution will be reviewed by the Court of Appeals and will not be reached before next fall. They will be given a respite. Justice A. A. Hochling, who presided at the trial of Jackson, will not hit the date of his execution but defended the convicted man by an assignment of the court, has had 10 days in which to file a motion for a new trial. Attorney Wilson will base his motion for a new trial largely upon the language Assistant United States Attorney William Wallin, who referred to Jackson in the argument of the case as "a brute." The Government also failed to produce sufficient evidence to warrant guilty with in return a verdict of torture Wilson contends. The defense set up an alibi. Four witnesses testified that from 9 o'clock on the night of the time, rime until 7 o'clock the next morning Jackson was in bed. A confession obtained from Jackson by the police, which was read to the jury and admitted in evidence, said that the accused visited a poolroom, a barber shop and a lunchroom, and was dressed diately before starting for the scene of the crime. When Jackson led them over the route he took on the night of the crime, police testified, he pointed out to them these places, and proved that Jackson visited these places, which would have disproved the testimony of his alibi witnesses and made them perjurers, made the evidence sufficient to support the verdict of the jury. Attorney Wilson says He also contends that is true concerning the failure of the Government to produce the clothes worn by the prisoners of the crime, which would have been bloody. Capital punishment in the District of Columbia was changed from hanging to electrocution by an act of Congress effective January 20, 1925. The death since then were the slayers of Policeman Busch. The last person hanged in the District of Columbia was Herbert L. Cox for the murder of Police Lieut David T. Dunigan on January 29, 1925.

The chief of the West Virginia Department of Mines who has penetrated three thousand feet into the doomed and fire menaced shaft holds out hope that the entombed miners may be alive.

BIBLE THCT TODAY THE TWO' GREAT COMMAND- THE MESSENGER God with all thy heart, and with thy soul, and with all thy strength, and thy neighbour as thyself' like unto 1007 Pastors In Open Meeting Score Bishop Johnson Made Conference Like Circus Says One. Bully Ragger Says Another. Would Beg First Says Third Bishop J. Albert Johnson, Philadelphia, who directed the sessions of the 10th annual A.M. E. conference at Waters Chapel last week, was severely criticized in open session at the A.M. E. Preachers' Meeting, at Bethlehem Church Monday. With emotion which he could Bishop Johnson hardly conceal, Dr. George F. Bracg, Jr. rector of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, declared that he regretted the fact that the Baltimore Conference was one of the oldest in the connection and that anything should happen in it to make it resemble a "curcus". Dr. Bragg said he referred especially to the conduct of pious bishop Albert Johnson. The relation of the bishop to the clergy, he said, should be one of fatherhood and affection. The father, he said, does not kick his heels. There is in his family trust, affection and love. Bishop Johnson's intellect, he said. Dr. Lyons was equal to that of any other chief pastors in any denomination. Then was, however, Dr. Bragg said, can "noss in his speech" that ought not to have been there. "If," Dr. Bragg went on, "the clergy of this conference make it necessary for Bishop Johnson so to conduct himself, I do hope that in the future they will so govern themselves as to make any coarseness of speech and language on his part entirely unnecessary." DR. JOHN T. COLBERT Dr. John T. Colbert, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, who followed Dr. Bragg, said that he endorsed every statement that Dr. Bragg had made. "I have never in my experience," he said, "been ragged by his bishop." "What a spectacle it was," said Dr. Colbert. "For members of a congregation coming to conference to see how their bishop treated their pastors." DR. ERNEST LYON Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of Ames A. M. E. Church, declared that he had known personally, many bishops of the church, including the late Bishop S. J. Coppin who was a friend of the bishop. Bishop Gaines and the late Bishop Derrick. He would permit no one. Dr. Lyon said, to criticize the A. M. E. Church in his presence without warrant. At the same time, he declared himself to be independent and that he would bog his bread and pede meal in his kitchen before he would submit to humiliation at the hands of a presiding bishop. Sporadic applause on the part of ministers affiliated with the A. M. E. Church followed these remarks. Specific reference to the coarseness in the language of Bishop Johnson undoubtedly referred to oft repeated remarks of "Sit Down". addressed to ministers of the conference, whether they were in the act of speaking or in midway through the statements they desired to make on the floor. Addressing the Rev. John L. Norris on one occasion, Bishop Johnson said that if he were as old as Dr. Norris he would sit down, and keep quiet. "I am not going to speak to you again," the bishop said to another minister. "You've got intelligence enough to sit down and keep quiet," he said to a third. "Don't step on that altar rail" he accused the floor, and while ahead threatened to go up to the gallery after a boy whom he said should have known better than to dance in a Methodist church. He promised to give the boy 'St. Vitus dance', if he got to him. On several occasions the ministers were not permitted to make explanatory statements by the presiding officer. "Only 'yes' or 'no' I want," was his challenge. DELAWARE A.M.E. CONFERENCE WILMINGTON, Del. —Appointments of the Delaware Conference of the A. M. E. Church, Bishop W. H.

WEEKLY SERMON --- The Twelve Disciples By the Rev. Charles Henry Brent, Episcopal Bishop, Western New York. Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things that the Lord I commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Matt. 28:18-20. I wish I could hear these words for the first time. Familiar as they are, they thrill me with their exultant strength whenever I read them anew. They open up new vistas of hope and happiness of greatness and immortality, of a world exalted and blessed and my Christian, wholly and irrevocably. They set their own seal upon the authenticity. Under their spell we move out into life with the joyous sting of certainty goading us on to renewed effort to the great bidding of winning the nations of the earth to Him. How hedged in with finality that bidding is. Before the commission comes the charter under which it is issued. He who bids us to the new creative act of bidding his瓣 open on authority over and possession of all things in heaven and on earth. We are familiar with authority in piecureal fashion—authority over a nation, an institution, a department. But this is authority over all things seen or unseen. It is the unifying authority for which human life had been waiting, is final and man. Man is there. There is no separation of the religious from the secular in His jurisdiction. It includes in one vast sweep the whole universe—nations and all their contents, the realm of thought ramifying into ten thousand specialisms, the domain of activity running into a myriad vocations, fast slipping time past, present and future, the tiny sphere of the universe, the sphere of the unknown from Alpha to Omega, from the beginning to the end. Jesus Christ here claims an authority which is possession. TRINITY A. M. CORNER LINDEN AVENUE HEAR OUR NE 11:00 A. M.—Dr. C. E. Stewart, formerly 2:00 P. M.—Sunday School. 3:00 P.

Office, CU rtis·0480 See Him stand, running through His fingers the countless threads of the ages, disentangling their confession, overturning their wariness, wearing them into that "the correlation of organism the linkages binding one living creature to another in a vital economy." On a previous occasion does the pastor publicly claim authority over mankind just before He went to His death. Jesus said, "Father, the hour is come, glorify thy son, that the son may glorify thee; even as thou gavest him authority over sojourn thou hast given him to he should give eternal life." He is not alone. His intimate friends to whom He has been talking in terms of understanding, solicitude and love are watching Him as He steps take, eyes talks to God. I wonder what they thought of His autocratic claim. What would you have thought had you been standing by? What do you think of it now as you hear it, repeated nineteen hundred years after? Certainly if it held good then it holds good now. What do you think of it now, meaning do you attach to it as touching your own case? Jesus chose, so it would appear, an inappropriate, even foolish, moment in which to make His claim of human life. He was on the edge of His lowest moment of popularity as a apaes and hatred. He was esteemed in about the degree that a criminal caught red-handed is esteemed by the crowd that has caught him Further than that. He knew it. He was aware at that very moment the last little remnant of a following was held by a frayed cord about to snap, that one of His close comrades had presently been caught, and that the rest would be like a frightened flock of sheep in a moment, scattered hither and yon, and he would be left alone. This is the hour in which he announces His universal jurisdiction over mankind, the hour for which He has patiently waited—I. He be lifted up from the earth with all humility myself. The mind of loneliness and madeness was the only road to universal sovereignty. Saturday, May 7, 1927 BOARD UPHOLDS OUSTING SHAW U. PROFESSOR Trustees Say Professor McMillan's Religious Teachings Were Heretical FACULTY QUOTED AS BACKING PRESIDENT Of Trustees' Committee Of Trustees' Committee Which Heard Case President J. L. Peacock, white, of Shaw University, has been upheld by his board of trustees in ousting Louis K. McMillan. This is the view of the trustee committee headed by G. C. Spalding, chairman, who investigated the case last week and made public their findings. Prot. McMillan in a letter to the trustee committee exposed Jim crow conditions among the white and colored men in the city he charmed. Presi. Pence, the dean of the Theological department, the dean of women and the business manager of the institution with inexperience. The trustee committee as unkind, unwarranted and dismaying. Professor McMillan says was earnest in his efforts to invite race feeling in attempts to inform the world that stereotypes in the races. That other members of the faculty did not hear Prof. McMillan's views is indicated by the trustees' report sent to the faculty in a faculty resolutations and expressing entire confidence in the integrity, sincerity and ability of the trustees. Theological department and others whom Prof. McMillan accused. Four members of the trustees are graduate students in the business world. These men assert that there is no more segregation practiced at the school than has been during the history of the institution. The trustees report declares that they regret Dr. McMillan's criticism because President Penckow had begun a program to improve the accommodation of professors and students. The trustees report refers to Prof. McMillan's religious instruction at Shaw as modern propaganda. Says DR. MANOKOO AGAIN HEADS PASTORS Rev. W. H.

J.—That it will only be a matter of time when hotel employees, especially waiters will be driven out of the field in Atlantic City unless something is done to improve the job, is the opinion of Steven E. Cole, business agent for the Waiters and Hotel Employees Association of the nation's playground. Three months ago, waiters in several of the leading hotels are on a salary of $1,000, their demands, principally one of salary, were not met. They have remained out, now-withstanding the fact that many of the large hotels sent out S. O. S. calls for their limousines. As a result, a number of hotels have employed white girls. That these girls have not been able to render the service as given by the waiters may be judged from the fact that the large beds were able to handle Easter. At Haddon Hall for instance, where they usually take care of around twelve hundred people Easter Sunday, the waiters and guests there this Easter. It has been demonstrated that these girls are not able to hold up under long dinner service. They may be all right to hold out, but long dinner periods are held, they fall down. Although this situation is fully realized by the real danger in Atlantic City lies in the lack of trained efficient service. He suggests that the colored population of the city use their vote to have the next commissioners institute a training school for waiters and domestics in the public The time has come, he says, in Atlantic City, where the hotel must really take their stand politically. The town is fast changing. The town is fast changing from colored to white here. Two of the finest hotels that opened up this year employed a crew of girls from California, and brought a crew of men to make good, however, is shown by the fact that one hotel, the Carlton Manor, sent all the way to California and brought a crew to charge the kitchen. Trained men can always make good. **BLAME BOOTLEG TITLE** Mr. Cole also blamed boating joints for a lot of the trouble. For two years, he was a first class waiter's home here, but it seems impossible. The hotel men have large interests and they must be protected and it is up to the help to stop and play the game for what they get out of it for 360 days in the year. VA.

To the Ato, he said: The Little Rock, the Mississippi, the Upper Mississippi and the Louisiana Conferences are in the flood area of South Carolina. The Rock Conference which covers the lowlands of Arkansas reports: "Sixty pastors suffering in over-flow discharges and fully four niths of charges of the Conference directly affected." The Monroe District in Arkansas "Conference which is now suffering from the flooded areas," reports: "District flooded. Paster at each church in the town. Send emergency help at once." Rey, M. T. J. Howard, who has been serving the Board of Home Ministry, Church Extension in the State of Mississippi writes: "The 75 Methodist ministers whose churches are now under water. Fully 83% of these churches raised their own Service quota on Easter Sunday." There are 61,666 members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the Conference of this flooded area. One of the locations of the Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas that are under water. Churches are flooded and parsonages in hundreds of cases ruined. The Upper Mississippi Conference is under water.

The church has been compelled to move out. Hundreds of conditions of this kind exist in the delta section of Mississippi. While a number of agencies are at work giving relief to sufferers, no agency except the Church will provide for the rebuilding and repair of the property. One hundred thousand dollars must be secured from the more favored sections of our Church if we meet the needs of this striking field.

Meridan, who was charged with criminally assaulting Miss Josephine Callman, a student was reinstated in the case and the judge which he requested pay for the period suspended.

If found innocent, be fully vindicated and if found guilty, be dismissed. UNEDUCATED SUPPORT CHURCH AND SCHOOL That the future of Negro higher education is doomed unless the masses of men change their attitude toward their institutions, was the declaration of Dr. P. O. O'Connell in speaking at the Morgan College Sunday, Dr. O'Connell deplores the assumption that hundreds of men and women who get into the labor or financial support to the schools. He quoted instances of well-to-do persons who have consistently refused to donate toward expenses or scholarships. The increased opportunities carry with them increased obligations, the need to be more involved in the existence of a local church with a large membership of professional people, and declared that they made smaller contributions and education than the members who were common laborers.

PASTURE HURT WHEN USED TOO EARLY the temptation to be relieved of much labor and considerable expense in preparing a dairy enryment to turn his cows on pasture entirely too early in the spring with results unsatisfactory to both the farmer and the dairy specialist for the University of Maryland Extension Service. "Cows turned on pasture too soon are hard to maintain with the esterary dry ration and unless there is an abundant supply of grass, milk production is likely to be curtailed. Further, such conditions may receive a setback from which it will not recover all summer. Give Grass A Chance. Give Grass A Chance is to wait until the grass is five or six inches high before turning out the herd. This gives the grass a good chance to fill quickly and the down or stand quietly under the shade of a tree.

To the average European slavery is thought to have been generally abolished in 1815 and its revolting trade, tortures, and despair has not been past, but Mr. Harris tells us otherwise, and proves, beyond all cailt, that there are still three million slaves in the world. His authority implies, in impachable; his proofs are up-to-date official records and the reports of wholly reliable commissions; he extenuates nothing and sets out the great Powers not only to liberate those still enslaved, but also to become the trustees of all backward races still suppressed in the great conditions. "The peoples who cannot stand by themselves," writes Mr. Gilbert Murray in his preface to this work, "must be protected by those who have developed a religious development accepted as a sacred trust of civilization." Of such nominal mitigations of slavery absolute as forced labor, peonage, and slavery, as much to say, and what he reveals on these subjects is as revolting as astounding-African World.

Arch-Bishop Curley Makes Appeal For Gibbons Institute Arch-Bishop Curley Makes Appeal For Gibbons Institute A special appeal and recommendation that the Cardinal Gibbons Inns generously support the work has been sent out by Arch-Bishop Curley. In his letter, which is addressed to Montanan, the Cardinal says that the institute is now an established fact, having been taken out of the category of more possibilities during the past three years. He says that the institute is now priests and people of the arch diocese to take an interest in the school and to show their interest for it, not to widen the scope of its influence. "We have given and are giving generously to the work of foreign missionaries well. But it might be well to remember that we have China and Japan, or if we are prepared to say that the charity is well organized charity is said to begin at home. I shall be grateful indeed to all those who come to our assistance in the work of the colored south of the nation.

PETER S. JOY RIDERS NABBED AFTER ACCIDENT JOY RIDERS NABBED AFTER ACCIDENT Man And Two Companions Held For, Larceny Of Car Which Crashed Into Wall The folly of accepting invitations to ride with strangers was learned by two young women who not only barely escaped with their lives when the vehicle driven by Jack Edwards, 632 N. Pine street, crashed into a wall on New street, but were so arrested by the police as accomplices in the barceny of the machine for which the driver is being held. Myrtle Henderson, 1615 N. Glimnor street, Gahk, 1629 N. Glimnor street, both said that they never saw Edwards before Sunday night, and did not know his name. He asked them, "What wanted to truss them, they got in." Edwards is said to have stolen a city of Douley Riggs, 3 W. Franklin street. He is being held for the act of Grand Jury. The girls were gassed. CHICAGO, IL.—(ANP) The African American M. E. Zion churches of Chicago united in a memorial service to the late' Bishop G. L. Blackwell, who presided over the African American Bishop Arthur Hamett of the C. M. E. Church delivered the principal address. It was decided to purchase a building for use of the education and editorial offices of the religious education department of the denomination as a memorial to Bishop Blackwell. "I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sabel, of Gadsen, Alas,"and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of" Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable for a long time. The drug girl, told me Black-Draught, would help me. I bought a package and had it made in tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double, the price." Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose. Sold Everywhere HAMPTON GRADUATES 190 - FEW CHANGES IN FACULTY Saturday, May 7, 1927 AT LEAST TWO ROMAN CAESARS WERE COLORED SAYS ROGERS Busts Of Septimus Severus And Caracalla In Vatican Library Show It JUVENAL QUOTED ON THE BLACK GLADIATORS tity" IN ROME—Taking up where I left off last week, I could go on to write of such interesting places as the old Aqueducts; the Imperial Forum; the Pantheon; the Doria Palace; the Villa Borghese; of San Stefano, the Ethiopian Church built in 450 A. D.; the American Academy; the Rocca di Papa, or Pope's Rock; of Frascati, the suburb in which Cicero lived and the Palace of the Vatican, where the Pope lives hence space must be reserved for mention of two of the leading ones: The Catacombs of San Callisto and the Vatican Library. Catacombs The first is to be found on the famed Applan Way about two miles from the city. Here was one cemetery located near the Christians as secret places of worship. These Catacombs are 32 acres in extent, twelve miles in length, and are in three stories, the first of which is a wet underground room of the tombs were riffled by the Vandals. The Trappist Monks. The place is now under the care of the Trappist monks, long brown, long flowing brown robe, and sandals, took us low after giving each of the party a candle. Unfortunately the English speaking group, in which were several American ladies, who asked to be taken out, after they had seen but a small part of it, gave us inside "wet better go out now. I guest the rest of the place is just like this". Visiting these historic places is like taking medicine to many people, rather be in a Montmartre cabaret. Vatican Library The Vatican Library is perhaps the largest repository of art treasures in the world, and one walks through what must be a treasure trove filled with them that it is almost difficult to fix one's attention on any one object. Nevertheless, one must be arrested for the acts that rotted that bar his name; the Sistine Chapel, with Michael Angelo's famous painting, "The Last Judgment"; the thousands of persons who died from the Popes from America and all parts of the world, one of which is said to contain the names of 33,000 French persons "to suffer and die for the faith" and Nero's bath tub which is big enough for five persons. Black Caesars Of special interest to me was the Egyptian Room with one of the finest collection of Egyptian art and statuary, which remains a way that if the busts of certain persons, known as Negroes in America, were to be made and placed beside some of the statues here, particularly that of Septimus Severus, and Caracal; also, well the inference is obvious. For as far back as one can go in history Europe and Africa meet and mating along these epochs. Roman Ladies Besides the noble Roman ladies were particularly fond of the Negro gladiators and officers as they the famous warriors of duvenal who lived in 89 A.D. A Prisons for Paul And Peter From a historical standpoint, a prison was a place where the Foro Romano, an enclosure of perhaps not less than a hundred acres, the heart of the old Roman Empire, brought the Foro Romano, the first point of interest will be the Carcero Marmertino, or Marmertino Prison, where the Apostle Paul was imprisoned under the order of New York it is a gloomy, underground dungeon entirely of stone, with barely enough room in the cells to stand erect. No one could comprehend of coddling prisoners in those days. Caissars One feels quite a thrill when he calls that on account of the Caissar, "who dead and turned to clay, will stop a hole to keep the wind away"; the Harlot-Empress, Messalina; Pompey, and Catalina, Messalina; Pompey, and Catalina, the hollow at the foot of the hill are the remains of the Forum in which they all held forth. An interesting place nearby, on the outside, is the old Jewish Ghetto, a word meaning cut-off, and the name of the Jewish town where its residence about 20 B. C., when Pompey brought the first Jewish canties to Rome, and lasted until 1880 A. D. Less than seventeen years after Pompey was power to be reckoned with, as in the case of the Negro, who forty-five years after his destitute entry into Virginia, found himself faced with a large number of white people. (See Hening's Statutes of Virginia, Vol. 1.) Seven Hills On the hills of the Caeasers, now denuded of their costly marble and butts of brick from which one may imagine to be buried, the gardens are still there with orange trees laden with ripe fruit.

Thousands slaves who were all freed. **100 Day Show** The Collisum was opened with a procession of slaves, days, during which several thousand gladiators and wild animals tore one another to pieces. Readers of Quo Vadis will also recall how the Christians the great arena, now but long sections of masonry with great holes between them like going into Inglesian phasiosides on seeing the Collisum for the spot on which raged such barbarian and bloodshed are now parties of tourists and children of the great arena. Much of the buildings in the Foro Romano, was also despised to furnish materials for other buildings. Considerable restoration has been done by one or two of the Popes. Baths Not far from the Coliseum are the Baths of Caracalla, a structure hardly less imposing than the Coliseum. This bath which could accommodate a large crowd once was also a cultured centre, with libraries and art galleries. In several of the pools may still be seen the hot water pipes and the beautiful moorish Bathing Out Of Favor This bath is but one of many. Bathing went out of favor, however, with the Christian regime, and seems to have been a place of Europe broadly speaking. Many of the early saints prided themselves on the fact that they never bathed, hence, the phrase "odor of sanctity." Stadium In this book Via Cercchi (Circus Street) are the ruins of the Circus Maximus, where the Romans held their athletic games. The stadium accompanies 6000 men, many as the Coliseum. Those old Roman certainly built with a robustness and vastness of conception beyond man, but it must be recalculated to be as impressive as the Greeks, who in turn had that of the Egyptians and Ethiopians. My next article will be from Florence, in which I will also say something of Mussolini and of the every day life of the Italians.

BEAT CONVICT TO DEATH First Whipping Came From Cursing Guards In Prison Camp There STATE INVESTIGATOR TO MAKE PROBE Second Whipping, Says Doctor, Followed Refusal To Take A Bath WINSTON-SALEM, N. C. —More brutality in Southern convict camps was revealed when investigation showed that Colonel Jones, 19 year old prisoner, at Convict Camp No. 3, died following whipping a nd punishment given by prison guards here last week. This tragedy was revealed by Dr. J. M. Lasley, county physician, who testified that the dead man was beaten in his presence, and had been convicted while he was being taken out of solitary confinement. Additional investigation also showed that Jones had been placed in solitary confinement because he had refused to take with which had been prepared him. Physician's Statement Dr. Lasley, testifying before a committee investigating the affair, said, "I was called to Convict Camp No. 3 on April 20, to see Convict Colonel Jones, 19, and 18, soon after arriving at the camp. He was on a truck. When led into the barrack he sat down and when a tub of warm water was brought into the place for him to take a bath, he refused. The officers, however, had his clothes removed and when he was again asked to get into the tub and take a bath, he attempted to walk around and fell to the ground, where they caught himself on his hands. "After being told quite a bit to take the bath and still not saying anything and refusing to obey orders, he was sent to a sprout. He then got into the tub and began bathing himself." Statements made by Supervisor H. O. Burke also revealed that following the imprisonment and when taken out was again flogged by guards because he cursed one of them. His death followed this last whipping in one of the prisons. **Complete Investigation** According to the committee, a complete investigation will be completed and the full report shall be of Public Welfare in Raleigh, and it is understood that she in turn will file the report with Governor McLain.

This is the largest group in the volume, the medical profession playing a central role in the security of the clans.

MORE DELAYS HOLD RECEIVER AT PORO lone's Car MALONE IS STILL GUARDED ON FARM Case ST. LOUIS, MO., (A. N. P.)—Growing bitterness marks the continuation of the white receiver, Conrad Paeben, at Poro College. The case was called again for Monday but was postponed. Aaron Mason farmed closely, and he owned Illinois farm and it is not likely that his suit for divorce or the hearing to make the receiver at Poro College permanent can come up soon. The city is impatient that Paeben should be kept in charge waving theoretically at least, a stick of cheese farm and color institution, Mrs. Malone, they contend, can furnish as large a bond as necessary. Would not free her hands where a receiver is necessary and make her the receiver under bond? Citizens point out that colored people have few rights that whites are bound to respect here. They are required except at the railroad station nor go into any of the white movie houses. But when an institution has a white director, a white greens and is prosperous, the whites seem to be waiting an opportunity to step in and take control. The artists from the habit of the receiver and his assistants walking in to the perfectly appointed Poro dining room and ordering a meal which are charged to the institution. Even the department heads of the Poro College must pay for what they get. Whites are eating free Tone Down Paeben, the receiver, has also the habit of ordering Mrs. Malone's Cadillac and chauffeur to haul him up from downtown. Pietro Protto, the action of Mrs. Malone's lawyers have caused the high-handed receiver to tone down his tactics. He returned a car to Mrs. Malone's own account and ceased his efforts to get her formula, and has not discharged any more of Mrs. Malone's employees in the past sevengers trying to avoid committing weeks. Fee Uncertain One of the reasons for this change of attitude is the uncertainty of where his fee will come from. If he loses the contract, that may later lawyers contend, that no partnership exists, then there will have been no reason for the appointment of a receiver and hence no reason for Mrs. Malone paying him unless it is taken from the 4000 bond which Mr. Malone posted. Dixie fish watching the Malone case are saying, "I told you so." Malone was in a commercial wizard, of, Durham, who said that after a Negro business located below the Mason and Dixon line passes the million dollar mark it is Harry Pearce, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company, talking in Chicago last week said he would not take his organization's northern territory for the same reason. He says politicians have something to do with the Malone case. These folk claim that one of Mrs. Malone's lawyers is frequently in political conference with Eddy Fortis, a former Mayor Siegel, all political bosses. Last week when a case in Judge Hartman's court developed similar to that of Pore, the same judge who was involved in the notice or hearing gave two weeks before a receiver for the whites would be appointed. Mrs. Malone Guarded No date has been set for the hearing of either the Malone divorce case or the action making the rejection of the case being closely guarded on the farm over in illinois, where he is being held, but reports are that his companion he raves and that because his lawyers are trying to avoid committing him to an asylum, he has not had any legal protection, and his olling patient should have, Mrs. Malone, who would place the best psychopathic talent at his disposal were she permitted, is patiently waiting for a grinding of the mills of the law. Curfew At Greenville GREENVILLE. MISS. — Colored people are living along the levee in tents. A curfew was established here and no one is allowed out at night As Floods Engulfed Arkansas PINE BLUFF, Ark. (Tuesday) — Just forty-eight hours ago nearly five hundred were caught and entrapped between the raised water latters and the bridge. There was no way of escape except by going to land in one small boat provided by the city of Pine Bluff. As the waves dashed the water, the officers, with the volunteers, had to give up the desperate struggle of saving the plantation workers. There they were, many with babes in their arms, crying for help. During the night snakes crawled on the bridge and attacked the helpless victims. The shrieks and screams of the plantation workers were heard. Men battled fiercely with the blood-thirsty snakes as they attempted to sap life with their polsonous venom. With dawn came rescue. While one man by the name of Ewon, from the village with some of the black victims from the bridge, a gust of wind blew and the hungry waters swallowed him. The rescuers, though, did not give up hopes, but, in the end, they saved the great majority of plantation workers. As the stricken 400 plantation workers were landed, they were sent together with many others to the A. M. and N. School campus. The N. School grounds can be seen mothers with their babies, boys and girls swimming in the playground contraptions and men striding insured roads. The town band played and even in their destitute condition the refugees gave an enthusiastic applause. Many Pitiful Ages Are Told A middle age, aged could be seen looking off in a blank space.

Brown and I "I Got A Home In Dat Rock." The Spirituals were sung admirably and with true interpretation, sheerly as is rarely the case when sung by other than the Negro himself. So effective are the Spirituals that cries of More, more," rang from the audience. His encore was the convicong, "Water Boy," Marguerite Namarc, late of the Opera, the Opera Compear, Paris, also Rosalinde Fuller, Disuse, were other artists on the program.

Ellsworth Toomey, who has taught classic dancing, deportment and theater, a quarter century, told the patrons of the Forum of Music, Sunday, that he believed the young Forum music possessed the seed of a Negro opera.

"Ko'o," at the Palace or other Columbia inues, or the excellent comedy (most of the comedy) was intended for whites. The patrons who sat "downstairs" saw a morbid picture of the land and people. You, who had the choice of buying tickets for "upstairs" or remaining away, saw more than the lighter hued theatre-goers. You saw your own drama and that of the deadly swamps to harden or to die. You saw European dominated Africa. Yet, who wouldinger upon that? You wouldinger upon that? You wouldinger upon that? You wouldinger upon that? Producers, unlike church stewards, take only one collection. The Stage's Mission David Belasco, grand old man of producers, told the press last week in presenting his four last plays. Mr. Belasco places the blame upon cleanliness and declares that he is willing to spend time in preserving the standard. He also says: "But there must vary if the stage is to kept in perfect condition. Without sin, crime and with all men and women pure and holy, what a monotonous world this would be. Sometimes, I think God means that the saints may stand out more strongly by comparison, so that the saints may stand for dirt, sake or filth for money. I have no patience. But the proving of the stage is to mirror life, and in the reflection reveal a moral when posing to remember always to offer truth." Not Luck With Eddie Eddie Hunter, acclaimed by white critics as the successor to Bert Wilkinson, has given the number by having the opportunity to lead "4-11-44". He does not see it that way. Despite a very limited and planning his knowledge of no trade, he had a dream. Eddie tells of the hours of study and planning he did with New York City. One day the famed late Enrico Caruso stopped to examine some of his work at an apartment hotel where Hunter was a young striver and told him that he would make the grade. Later, when Hunter opened Eddie's studio, the great tenor was in one of the front boxes, along with other celebrities. Eddie says that it was the result of a training that captured only one-half of one per cent. Old Partners James Riley, who began trouping with the acclaimed Johnnie Hudgins, now with the Blackbirds, died last month after a long period of months against gastritis. There is no doubt that Hudgins will be touched with sympathy for his deceased son, who was back to the long, lean days when their 'sole' possessions 'were' hard work and hope, and the death of his prime will accelerate the overkill.

Members of the Grand Jury heard a poorly trained teacher attempt ineffectually to show that some of the boys knew how to read and spell. E REVIEWS "Sons Of Rest" Sidney Easton and Joe Simmons have taken a pleasant and little plot, some lyrics and original tunes, to the musical comedy which they are offering at the Royal this week. The offering is not one that is likely to create a great sensation, but it is a pleasing result and is refreshing. welcome after the show, and revives. The show is in seven scenes, with numerous tuneful ditties which are the creations of Robert Warfield and Sidney Easton, the hacked one of the Southern boy who became rich when his oil well came in and went to spend the money in the North. The scenes are laid in Oklahoma and the hacked one been promised a railroad and other modern improvements. The population consists of several settlers, the "Sons of Rest" and a tribe of Indians a short dis The spiritualist, Madame Loco, is acted by Angenele Lawson, lately of "Shuffin' Sam", Miss Lawson wins approval with the musician. The Indian Chaitin is impersonated by "Billy Moore". Nearly all the laughter is provoked by the old tunes of the band, still play his midget organ and has not forgot his "blues" tunes. Simms is especially to be commended for his work that wins one of the first places on the bill. He also cold the almost taken his voice. The dance specialties are presented by Taff Rice and Robert *arfield*. The are assists by the pianist, Lawson, Sam Davis is at the piano and assisted by the Royal Theatre orchestra. Judged as a whole, "Sons Of O'Rest In Shuffle" is beautifully clean musical comedy. The chorus maids are Mildred Lee, Josephine Noble, Viola Gray, Joyce Browne, Angene Talbot, Ethel Smiley, Virginia Roundteen, Bobbie Anderson, Dolores Andrews and Lena Wili The town is troubled by a spiritualist who has been cheated out of her lands, and a government official in straightening out the land. In straightening out the land, the comic situations and some novelty skits are offered. Coley Grant plays the old man Harriet Williams, as his daughter heads the song bill. Her voice has a wide range and is mellow. She has not yet swung into the illness of her role in the show, but is quite deficient in posture and carriage. The juvenile roles are well portrayed by the charming Miss Louise Hunt, and the hardy and archist Noble. The pain does excellent work in its dusts, solos and dance numbers. Paul C. Floyd, who recently closed his studio, carried the heavy role of government agent. Addison Carey, who staged the show, contributes his bit as the hick town sheriff. The Regent bill is opened this week with a soicy dance and song act by Nanton and White, a neat appearance with his few songs and presents a fair routine of dance work, but his lone joke does not take any hold upon the audience. The routine of order before it was ever spoken. Miss White gives an excellent interpretation of Russian as her song.

The theater in A. circuit has at least six theatres in the flood district, and all are playing colored shows.

Performer And Baltimore Wife Conduct Sales Service When Not On Stage Br OBIE McCOLLUM A passionate interest in the plain, old-time religion, not even tinged with the color of modernism, is the hobby of George Glasseo, former star of "Shuffle Along", and composer, who played the Regent in a seriocomic sketch with his wife, last week. Unlike many persons who make use of their hobbies only in their spare moments, Mr. Glasseo puts the practices of his faith into his stage work, devoting much of his time religious reading. When interviewed in his dressing room, Wednesday, he was found reading a copy of "Dwight L. Moody's Life Works And Largest Sermons". "Are you accustomed to spending your spare time in such reading?" he was asked. "Yes. I am." he answered slowly. "Yes, this seems to be the only really permanent reading with such a wide appeal. Despite the general belief that stage people are an irreligious lot, my life has been guided by fast principles when What I have been asked to take part in a smutty or misleading act or production, these convictions always make 'no' my answer." "But you have written 'blues' and jazz songs, and you were formerly named for 'Ma Ralney,' he was reminded." "A man who writes classics when the people want expressions of life that are more easily understood, I have written 'blues,' and I have attempted to inject spice into them; but I have stuck to cleanliness. Any performer or composer can put over a number if it contains the essentials for music; but nothing to offer has to resort to the inflaming of baser passions." Mr. Glascock is a native of West Wchester, Pa., and has followed several occupations as a performer in 1910 with McNally's "White Singing Orchestra", as basso, he won some recognition as a singer. He later appeared with Ray Miles "Dixie Four", Millennium and "Miles" albums, the "Bod, Hot Supporters" On account of show making a long jump from Columbus, Ohio, it will be impossible to make the first matinee show Monday.

LEFT WEALTHY SPOUSE, NOW RESIDES WITH SON Mrs. Lewis, 71, Says Others Offer Wealth, Son Offers. Happiness. By Obie McCollum Theatre patrons who saw the debonair Sammy Lewis on the stage with his revue and jazz band at the Star last week, possibly did a look through the glamour and sheen of his stage life and see him as he is — a mother's boy. Sammy is better known for his several years of appearances in the theatricals and the synchopation of his recording hand. Comedy, dancing girls and orchestra directing; these are the things with which he is commonly associated, but there is another side to his charm. His gray-haired mother, who has lived more than three score and ten years, watts up nights until the show is over and Sammy comes home. Their is an example of a sacred devotion of youth for age and age for youth. Back in Cincinnati is Sammy father, a healthy municipal employee and real estate owner, but Mrs. Lewis prefers to spend her time in Baltimore, attending the little Seventh Day Adventist Church, on Harlem avenue, and keeping and Sammy a mother of 18 children and the jazz orchestra leader is the youngest. Mrs. Lewis is ultra-religious and continually repeats, "Yes. God is good to me. He has given me a that goes to make up for my weakness to me. Life could not hold very much more."

Says New Play "Goat Alley" Needs Crap And Jazz In reviewing "Goat Alley, a drama of Negro life in Washington, which opened at the Princess Theatre. New York, last week, Bide Dudley of the Evening World characterizes the play as possessing no merit-but being admirably acted by the cast. "Goat Alley," a play of Negro life in Washington, is directed to the Princess Theatre last night, is conventional drama decidedly well acted by a cast of Negroes. The production is unusual because of the fact that the players do so well. The cast knows no frills and has never been overly involved in this naturalness that makes the play an interesting study. "Ernest Howard Culbertson, who wrote 'Goat Alley' proceeded along lines of least resistance. A Negro girl loves a black man. He discovers a woman and an amoeba but he forever loves her. Later he clashes with this other man and is sent to the penitentiary for felonious assault. While he is away the girl through the necessity of obtaining money to live on, takes a star boarder into her home. When the lover's sentence is up he returns, only to find a baby. He kills her and thats that. "Plays of this type can be turned out by almost anybody who has the time to write them. Originality isn't needed. Were "Goat Alley" acted by white players, it might be so commonplace it would border on the edge of an excellent foundation for Negro characterizations, and the members of the cast have sense enough to avoid exaggeration. The sum total is a picture of Negro life defy painted. "Evelyn Ellis, as Lucy Belle, the lace of the late acte, acted the role wholly by her. There, as her murderous lover, did very well, too. Others deserving special praise, Baron Bryan, Elizabeth Williams, Dorothy Paul and Edward Thompson. Egon Brecher of the Civic Repertory Theatre Company directed the staging. "Goat Alley" is sombre. Altho it deals only with Negroes, it has absolutely no comedy. What it needs more than anything else are a pair of galloping dominoes, a jazz-band and a few verses of "Frankie: Was A Lady" or "Casey Jones." STAR "Teddy" Smith and Helen Bumbraye's "Stop and Fix It" Company is being held over at the Star this week. Their show has been overhauld, new faces have been added and their offering can almost be called an entirely new one. A new one of chatter and dance games has been done by "Teddy" and his partner, "Kid" Biedmont is showing up well in some comedy bits with Frances Goins. Miss Goins adds to the work of the "Fixers" with some blues numbers and specialty songs and dances. Miss Bumbraye is taking part in the comedy and a single offering of the "Fixers" with special roles are Ollie Perkins, stout and laughable comedienne; George Alexander, dance specialist; and Rose Brown, male impersonator. The chorus includes Esteller Young Lucille McGee, and Carrie Montell.

CUTS UP WOMAN'S CLOTHES, GOES FREE Henry Wilson Visted Former Sweetheart's Apartment And Slashed Dresses MAGISTRATE SCORES COMMON LAW UNIONS The custom of living together out of wetlock, known as Common Law Marriages, was severely scored by Magistrate Paul Johann Wilson, 901 Bolton street, who was charged by Mary Thomas, 623 Mulberry street, with cutting up her cloats, in the Northwestern Police Station, Tuesday. Miss Thomas had Wilson answered after she had to come home to her home at the Mulberry street address and slashed several of her dresses. She admitted that she had once lived with Wilson although they were never married. Miss Deborah that he had bought the house and the woman had deserted him. It was at this point that the Magistrate declared that women who live with men as husband and wife would have to suffer the consequences and pay the police department because the common law practice was itself without the law. Wilson was dismissed.

Dotson produced witnesses to prove that his mother was in the house after the凶事, and that the time could not have occurred at the time she alleged. He was dismissed by Maristrate Johannsen.

Chase told the Magistrate in the Northwestern police station, where he appeared after dismissal from the hospital that he was recovering from his sister, Mrs. Mary Parson. Just as he entered the dining room, Hornsby, who was a stranger to him, started toward him with a knife and cut him several times. Chase was unable give any answer, and refused to enlighten the court and was fired $50 and costs. The Quickest Road to BETTER RESULTS BETHOLINE THE WONDER MOTOR FUEL fer Consequences LLEGE Bishops Only Shirt To Bec Bishops Only Need Black Shirt To Become Mussolini Bishop J. Albert Johnson, himself in person and not a moving picture presided at the 11th Baltimore Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Waters College as weekend. All this good bishop needs to become a Mussolini is a black shirt and a bowl of spaghetti. There are two dark mysters about the Righi Reverends who were most acutely at the conference. One is how the got catastrophe would befall the human race if their eminences condescended to smile at one of the mere ministers of the assembly whose votes helped to elect him. If the Sphinx got a cold relentless features he would hide his face and sphinx no more. In spite of all evidence to the contrary I had begun to look upon our clergymen as our true leaders. I admired them as men of courage and conviction, but that was before I had an opportunity to see them cower under the lash of the worthy preaching officer in the pulpit back home, surrounded by their respective choir, the ladies' ald society and the board of trustees and stewards, a gentleman of the cloth may be a monarch of all he surveys, but on the conference floor he is just another bucket of scallions. About Candidates Five young men were candidates for admission to the conference. After a postponement of several hours Caesar suddenly decided that the time was ripe when they should be called a young prospective pastor had wittingly stepped without the holy portals to munch a sandwich or take a smoke after sitting patiently Writer Tells W Wore On May Spring Bottom Trousers Resem And Switch Were Forerun Writer Tells What Dandies Wore On May Day 30 Yrs.

Day about thirty years ago and that's what they were wearing according to a chat with a few old-men, among whom was Professor Holly Gowen, a horse and buggy days May Day around these parts was as important an event as Easter, Fourth of July or Christmas. The saying, "there is nothing new under the sun" can be applied to the changes in men's fashions. The young fat prat wearers of modern trousers are a new wrinkle; the begged trousers are a new wrinkle will be surprised to know that their dads were wearing the same thing long before they were born, only instead of calling them "Oxford Bags", they dubbed them "Spring Bottoms". The spring boots we wear were never complete without a wide box-back coat of black or blue broadcloth and a wide silk cavat of colors to suit the particular taste of the wearer. This was a wide expensive affair large enough to cover the whole front of the shirt if you wore one. Then came the Stetson hat of the 1850s, a wide brimmed hat some light felt material with a peafowl feather in the side. A pair of box-toed shoes of bright, yellow completed the rig. A guy dressed thusly in the days of real sports was considered a "lady killer." The oggettes. Let's see what the flappers were doing in the days of yesterwear. Well they weren't powdering their noses quite as much or painting their lips in the best regulated families and they didn't call them "broads", and "vamps" and "Shebas" and "flappers". She was inclined to travel the primrose path they were referred to as the now obsolete term of "coquettes." Instead of short-abbreviated dresses displaying a pair of shaped limbs encased in silken hose, the feminine lower extremities were completely covered with the long, germ-collective 'Girlinine skins' whose color is not immediately noticeable, thanks to the now extinct piece of feminine attire, known as the corset, and spread to unknown proportions at the hem, resambling an inverted ice cream cone. Under these were a pair of high-toped shoes that fastened the 12 inches up from the hem they were on by a pair of ribbed stockings with black and white circles resembling penitentiary stripes. Did they wear the loose fitting flimsy things like they wear today? Well, I hope to tell you they didn't. The waist of linen with staves of bones in the high neck to make it rigid, and mutton chop sleeves were milady's Sunday-go-to-meeting attire. These sleeves resembled for all the world the name that they bore by a few pounds of starch which made them crackle like a pretzel when the boy friend became ambitious and acted as a signal for mothers to take a peek in the parlor. The Switch And The Bob What about hair? Well, in those days fashion decreed that in the arrangement of the hair that women should put on instead of take off. The rat and the switch were all the rage in Egypt, and Egyptian bob. The men cut their hair with a buff on one side and a deep part on the other instead of pasting it down with "Murray's". The five and ten cent counter did for women's hair what Madame Walker for women's hair today. Instead of buying grease to grow hair the 1897 flappers just bought the hair right out. Thanks For The Buggy Ride The automobile was still in the experimental stage but every young buck on the first of May could hire a hore and buggy from any livery stable for a dollar and take his best girl for drive out old shack road of peppers or bobbin mitted the driver to use only one hand, petting was a dangerous process if the girl wasn't in the mood because the long hat in her sailor hat was an every ready means of protection. Very few girls walked back from a drive in those days. On a bright Sunday the shek would be out in the armbands of dazzling hues. A big ribbon was also tied around the whip. The Business of Courting Even courting was an entirely different proposition in those days. You didn't just meet a girl, invite yourself around and clutter up her parlor, until you got ready to go.

Or pray that his majesty relent. *St. Peter Vs. The Bishop* Hearing these things, I thanked God that He in His all seeing wisdom had seen fit to station the good St. Peter at the gates of Heaven instead of a regular bishop, because I imagine a lot of us belated sinners would fare pretty common in squeezed spaces with a bishop acting, as doorman. While nature made me a protestant by right of birth I always admired the piety, gentility and apologetic nature of the priest. There seems to be a kinship between him and his parishioners. The higher he is elevated in his church the more genteel he becomes. He is more tolerant and more firmly different re-action on the average clergyman. No sooner is he made a district superintendent or a bishop, than he proceeds to see how darned contemptible, obstreperous and selfish he is in tries to bat the highest average in the "He gives me a pain league." Somewhere in the Bible there is a passage that tells about how Christ washed His disciples, feet, saying that 'he who would be master of all must first be the servant of all.' I wonder if bishops ever read that passage? What Dandies My Day 30 Yrs. Ago Embled Modern Oxford Bags. Ratiner Of Boyish Bobs For Girls. *and asked whom you came to see.

If you had sense enough you would take the hint that you were not wanted you were more determined than in and cool your heels elsewhere.

Emma Dorsett Price was effective although I do not recall details of her costume; and sharing honors with her were Marie Payne, Cora McDaniels, and Hattie Tyler. Lota Russell Lewis was among those present. I didn't see her in age, and had added that she has acquired considerable avoidupois during the intervening years, but it doesn't detract from her in the least. She has still the same charm of manner. In addition, much of "that school-girl complexion" remains with her. The languorous eyes and the glabrous, imperious course, time can do no harm to her truly patrician nose. There were a few others, too, who put one in a reminiscent mood and consequently added to the interest of the occasion. All in all, it was a brilliant party and congratulations are in order for the hostesses: Rosalei Fisher, Norma Marshall, Sadie Fisher, Payn Violet Nikon, Gladry Pinderbush, Linda Hughes, Claar Robinson, Mabel Hayes, Annie Smith, Ruth Thompson, and Mollie Thomas. The next event was the card party given Saturday at the same hall by the Foster Club, whose members islist includes Isabelle Clark, Vivian McCarthy, Ethel Lewis, Nandes, Ethel Lewis, Grace McCarthy, Eva McCard, Bertha Pennington, Louise Wheeler and Annie Wright. From all reports this was a party par excellence. The details were most carefully arranged so that there was no confusion whatever. Everything appeared to run on wheels. The crowd was representative, the gorcous, and a good time was had by the crowd. Bridge which has been so highly favored by Baltimoreans this winter was in order on the occasion, but the conventional Whist was also on schedule. Indeed, the former game is so technical that the majority of the guests preferred to take their chances in the Whist journey. The event, Mattie Connor took first hand with her were Clara Robinson, Nellie Buchanan, Iredell Williams, Bert Fitzgerald, and Mabel Locks. Triumphs in Bridge were scored by Edna Reld. Marie Wilson of Washington. Mame Simmons also of Washington, though formerly one of ours, and Hormone Wharton.

Town Nation ```markdown ``` A Young Man's Money Many young men who otherwise have the cormurks of coming success, feel that they are unable to save money. Such men never can be really successful. For the ability to save is the quality of career which has the most influence in the directions of a man's career. Unless he is able to save regularly and consistently, he cannot afford to work in a business if he cannot show a profit in his private affair? Spend less than you earn, if you would climb in business. Remember that the amount saved is comparatively unimportant. Regardless and certainly your equipment salary, every small, you may be able to lay aside only $1.00 a week. But if you actually save $1.00—every week—you are achieving much more in the development of your character than perhaps you now realize. If you would be happy and successful, spend less than you earn. Gay St. at Fallsway All Yours for $8.98 urs for .98 --- Four Handsome Pieces.

Unique And Pleasing Unique And Pleasing The New Eiks Hall on last Friday night, was unique and pleasing. The lawn tables shaded with large parasols, the ladies seated around the tables with large picture hats and beards, others dressed in sport attire from head to foot, made quite a picture. The gents. Oh yes, were up to the occasion. I can see Mr. Clarence Chambers now in his flannel pants, blue shoes, a sport shoes, and carrying a cane.

The work of the grade and special supervisors was explained in demonstration lessons, and greater enthusiasm on the part of the teachers, it was the opinion of the teacher, that our students are enjoying improved classroom instruction. The question of the recent teacher's work was the opinion of the parents, that parents left with a clear understanding of what the public schools were doing, and that they could hope for under the training of modern education. Our school list is rounded out by our history. The parents were gratified to learn of the increase in enrollment, the increase in the per cent of students in the Safety Patrol Council, the commendable work of the Campfire Girls' Clubs, the increase in the per cent of students and the enthusiasm of the children. Gertrude Johnson, president, of children for continued improvement, present and had the secretary, Miss Lillian Forester, read an interesting letter to our teacher, Dr. David E.

The decision was in favor of the affirmative side scoring twenty nine points, and the negative side scoring six. Miss Tyler's class also rendered a very interesting program. The first number was the recitation of the class poem, and the dramatization of Pandora's Box. Doctors and good pharmacists know that Cod Oil Oil is full of vitamins that make flesh, create appetite, build up the power to resist disease and puts good solid flesh on skinny men and women. But it's repulsive in taste and smell and nearly every stomach rebelts against it. So now men and women who keep up with the times are taking McCoy's Cod Oil Oil Compound Tablets—rich in flesh producing, health building, strengthening vitamins and as easy to take as candy. Try them for 30 days if you want to fill out those scrawny hollows in chest, cheeks and neck and gain strength and vigor. And bear this in mind if they don't help you in that time any drugstry anywhere will return your money.

The purpose was to portray the historic developments in the United States in definite periods from 1922 to 1927. The principal events of each period were presented as a herald, dramatized by a group of pupils, and this dramatization was followed by a beer upon that particular period. Stereotypicon slides were also used. Interested students were offered among the scenes were a number of songs and recitations. Pupils taking the most prominent roles in the scenes Jeffrey Milton Ellickson, Isaac Bristol, Rufus Jones, Ruth Austin and Raleigh Dean, Ethel Cooper was mis Among the visitors during the week were several ministers in attendance upon the visit of the Rev. H. Rev. Richmond, at Waters Church. The Rev. H. Rev. Richmond, Va., spoke entertainingly to the pupils and sang for them. He himself composed. Two other visitors who were most welcome were Dr. T. Hurst of Washington, his son being so much interested in the school activities he observed, particularly those of the wood shop. Mr. Kevin, a member of the Board of School Commissioners, recently spent an afternoon with us meeting teachers and observing work in different classes. Mr. Wright, athletic coach and teacher of physical education, has come in for many congratulations because the school is in the recent Health Week Marathon.

SCHOOL 112 Carey and Calhoun Streets Miss Mingo and her pupils are to be congratulated for their excellent program. Thursday morning assembly program was in charge of Miss Dorey and Miss Mosey. Miss Dorey's class rendered the following program. The poem, "Shiny Brown Seed," was well rendered in the "Information Bobby" playlet dealing with the treatment of various animals, horse, cat, cow, chick. Little Allan John was the little boy Boby who had not dealt fairly with the animals. Earl, a boy of the animals he represented and also recited a poem or some bit of prose telling of their kindness to the animals, little Boby after hearing the difference and decided that thereafter he would love and treat all his animal friends kindly. His dramatization taught a valuable lesson. Little Beatrice Carrington was Pamela B. Carrington and Epimetheus, Sorrow, Sin Hope and the Fairy were represented by other pupils. This dramatization was worth white, black, and red. The almost brought grief and sorrow but the good fairy, Hope proved a valuable lesson. Each week our assembly programs get better and better.

"Parson" McChire drew the pitcher's assignment for the Sox while Manager Beekwyn to the veteran "Ping Garden" to the fore. "Hugs" Plentiful. Home runs were plentiful at Westport during the two encounters. In the first game "Heavy" Johnson, former Black Sox outfielder, the Giants lost his fists that lost his batting eye by slamming a four base clutch over rightfield fence in the ninth of strong, scoring a man ahead of him. Holloway elated the fans by hitting into rightfield stand for a circuit The others to make four baskers were Beckwith, who opened the second contest with a high one over leftfield fence off Fowler's base, chartering a duplicated Hollo- Egerton hitting into the stand and Egerton who pasted one over left center fence in the fourth inning with Taylor on base. Game Slov For a baseball game the first contest was slow, requiring two hours and 45 minutes. The team doubled to centerfield. Backfield lined over second and as Washington let the ball get away from him. Day scored. The stands went with him. Johnson struck out to close the side out. Sox Rally The Sox, not to be outdone at all by the visitors, slammed Gardner from the start and when the frame closed, had put up a high one to Scott in leftfield who had rubber in his glove and dropped it. Holloway beat out a bunt and Johnson advanced to third. Jackson hit a long fly in Wilson singled to center to put Holloway on third. Taylor attempted to bunt on the throw to second to catch Wilson. Holloway scored. Wilson from first base line which went for a triple and "Babe" came in with the third run Taylor crossed the plate for the final score in this frame when Eglesion went out to first on an infield From then on the Sox had very little trouble with the Giants, altho left victory in double even until the last man was out. The Giants scored in the second on a double by Cannan, followed by single by Cain. Then in the third, they may have a Texas leaguer over short, Beckwith, doubled to leftfield fence to score some former while the latter some home on a 8 base blow to by Johnson.

Y. -The Lincoln Giants began their fifth season in the Eastern Colored League, Sunday, by winning both games of a double play: 0 to 0 and 0 to 5. from Hilldale a crowd of more than 5,000 tans. In the first game there were ten two-base hits and two home-runs, and eight doubles. The manager John Henry Lloyd and Rojo catcher for the Lincolns. The second game had almost as many hits as the first and one hit-run. Maser, being responsible for the circuit action, in each contest Hilldale rallied in the last inning and all but tied the score. Manager Frank Warfield, made doubles in the last inning and these, with a single by Washington, were responsible for three runs. Two runs were scored in the first inning by Hilldale whiffing Briggs, Carr and Yancey singled and Washington made a double. "Nip" Winters was on the mound and two runs were scored in the game and was given a severe pasture, although it was apparent he was somewhat off his form. He allowed eight bases on balls. Bector, the catcher, allowed all but received excellent support. In the second game Cockrell and Gisantere were the five pitchers. The game after five innings because of an injured knee received while sliding to second. And in the second game Clint Thomas received a post-down. to George Fial at third base.

In Baseball The Black Sox looked like faming gold when they made their first appearance on the field, Sunday in new uniforms. Evidently the Prince was one of some instructions on to dress. "Connie" Day, former Sox second sacker, received a wide ovation from the crowd when he came out of the dug-out with his cap bill turned up as he usually wears it. To appease the fans 'Heavy' Johnson, another cast-off now with the Giants, lifted one over centerfield during batting practice. There was something nifty about the chamois waistcoats of olive drab players. The Giants were first aggregation to appear so strikingly garbed. Evidently Mayor Curran has not played ball recently. On his loss to start the game the ball fell half-way between the plate and the pitcher's box. Tom Smith merely smiled. "Parson" McClure had his speed ball slants working fine in the first pitch of Charleston and "Heavy" Johnson. Bewick's home run in the second game was a thriller. The ball rose to a height where it was lost in the Pattacopo River. From the way things looked Sunday the locals are in for a fine season. The fast infield the Sox are said to have is not a myth but, a reality. Two double plays which were executed that Ben Taylor did not slow up on the diamond by a long shot. The right-field stand was pretty well filled with ladies. If they keep coming out, the Sox will con- YOKELEY DRIVEN TO THE SHOWERS YOKELEY DRIVEN TO THE SHOWERS GREENSBORO, N. C.-A. and T.

HOWARD TEAM BEATEN BY OVER TWENTY YDS PHILADELPHIA. — The 39th annual Penn Relays, at Franklin Field, Friday and S.urday, were held in the University of Chicago's decade minus a Hubbard, West, or Gourdin. Seemingly this year was an off one for colored teams entered and even those representing the Eastern colleges. Aside from Cecil Cook College, the University of Syracuse University, nothing spectacular was done by any of our athletes. Hampton Institute, who won the college championship, and the Manassas Industrial school tour who set the fastest running time of the day to cop heat number 12 in the high school relays only two schools to win first honors. Lincoln ran a close second to Vilanova in the first college mile relay, and the third in heat number five which was won by Bates College. The Seasiders' four, composed of Snowden, Gray, Clark and Baldwin, were Murray, Henderson and Thomas. Cooke Shines Syracuse's great mile relay combination of which Cooke is a member dethroned Georgetown University of North Carolina, a hard fought race. Saturday, in a track ankle deep in mud and water, Holy Cross and Georgetown kept alternating with the New Yorkers for Cooke, the 440 yard national champion a yard lead at the end of the third quarter, but Jim Burgess, flee with Cooke, Georgetown at him at the end of the home stretch. When Cooke saw his rivals closing in he opened up a notch and finished with the team for 3 minutes and 3-5 seconds the fastest time turned in for the mile in the two days. Howard Starts Poorly Langston the lead-off man for the Bison race, not off to a bad start which his teammates could never gain back and were beaten by 20 yards by Bates and Rutgers, in the Maine school won. The other three runners on the Howard team were Bridges, Thorne and Hill. Dr. E. B. Henderson, director of Maine in D. C. schools, said of the games. "It would be a lesson worth while if the leaders in the various segregated farms in and with cotton would play solely sometimes, and attend those big athletic gatherings where Jew and Gentile, white, black, yellow and red, would rain soaked Franklin Field all races mingled in dressing room, in the stands and shoulder to shoulder on the floor. No friction was encountered other than in the struggle to excel. Cheers were justly given for the black boys from Syracuse or the white boys from Alabama or Alabama when skill or gameness warranted it. Cooke Big Gun Cecil Cook was the big gun of the day. Having won the inter-collegiate title in 1988, he was during his athletic career. Hampton Institute running in the relays for the first time, landed the Amateur title. Howard and Lincoln Universities did well but were able only to place in the second best until this C. I. A. deadlock ends. Then frequent competition will help develop the best we have. The striking thing of the day was the splendid exhibition of the Manassas team which won its high school class relay the fastest run and with school and high school entered representing the big schools of the cities and towns of the East Since Teddy Chambers has been the coach of the Virginia school his athletes have brought undying fame to the institution. Colored boys were running many of the high school and college teams and invariably they did well. The members of the winning Hampton team received gold wrist watches and the first four of Benjamin Franklin and four athletes, each representing a different type. On the ground above are the words, "Relay Carrion founds 1893 and the records the words, "University of Pennsylvania." Yokeley Loses Third RALEIGH, N. C. — Yokeyle, the mainstay of the Livingstone College towers and a Baltimore Black Sox hurler, lost his third start in a week after a game in Friday, and chalked up a 14-6 victory.

C. — Howard University waved the olive branch again this week in an effort to secure harmony between the Colored Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association and schools not connected with that body. Differences between the C. I. A. A. and Howard arose from the question of eligibility. C. I. A. A. schools had men on their teams coming both from the college and the academy. Howard University had no academy but had professional schools. In a letter sent to Charles Williams, director of athletics at Hampton Institute, this week, by President James L. H. Anderson of the American Collegiate Athletic Association, Hampton is invited to be a party to the organization of strictly collegiate playing conference. In the opinion of the association, Mr. Watson says, "This should not in any way interfere with your obligation as a member of any other conference." Meeting "If they have any doubt as to whether you should go into this new movement," says Mr. Watson's letter. "I would suggest that you have a representative at the organization meeting at Howard University as to the purpose your institution may profit by first of the new league." Formation of this strictly collegiate playing conference will be held at its meet held at North Carolina College December 10th and 11th, last year. The following included the list of schools: Atlanta, Morehouse, Fisk West Virginia, Lincoln, Wilberforce Howard, North Carolina, Morgan and Anderson. The late Coach U. S. Young, of Lincoln, was appointed chairman of the committee to form a playing league for the above schools and such others that may subscribe to the necessary policy.

The signing of Montalvo by Bill Keenum owner of the New York Club caused a furore in baseball circles last week and may yet result in a breach between the two circuits although President Nutter of the Eastern League sustained the player.

I am reminded of a young doctor who came from college, hung out his shingle in a little town where someone told him he would starve. After fitting up his office, he sat down for a two weeks' waiting for patients to come in and call him, but they didn't. Truely he did not adopt the plan of education. So he went at it. He had a boy to stay in the office with him. Whenever he saw two or three persons come past his office, he put on his hat, and left out as if he were in the biggest kind of hurry, returning after about a half hour in the same way. An hour or so later he repeated the performance. This kept up for several weeks until the people began to talk about how busy he seemed to be. In the course of a month or two of this kind of advertising business began to come his way. After later he was on the high road to prosperity. Folks We Can Do Without! Between the disinterested citizen who neither registers nor votes and the bitterly partisan politician who condemns all whose views do not coincide with his, there is plenty of middle ground. Every good citizen is impatient with the eligible man and woman who does not vote. Yet no one can go beyond the bounds of tolerant persuasion and discussion with those who are unwilling to take part in the government. The vowelless citizen is like the neighbor who won't cut his grass and white wash his ballot. He can use yard and his ballot. He can use them or misuse them as he sees fit. More of a menace than a strident voice presiding elections disturbs a quiet community and condemns everybody to the lower regions who does not agree with him. To these vote getters and ward heels, no gossip is too mean and unnecessary, usually to employ in order to carry out the one purpose, namely to earn their pay by delivering votes to their candidate. Between these two community pests we prefer the man who does not vote. Each is a menace, one positive, the other negative; one doing too much, the other nothing. When few of the other parties participate in rife there bitterness, riots, bloodshed prevail. Between these two extremes is the middle ground where sober, the citizens go to. Where no castigation to vote the honest, convictions. It needs to be said that in Maryland there is a deeper interest in politics than in the number of votes cast for democratic candidates in the counties as well as in Baltimore City. It's an evidence they believe in the importance of fellow religious affiliation or racial identity for the candidate himself and what he stands for. This is not typical of Maryland or but of other communities in the United States where intelligence rules. And it becomes more so as the non voter is often held to be neither relegated to the limbo of forgetfulness. A virtual landslide swept a Republican mayor and half the city council into office Tuesday. The victory is can be seen from the fact that when Mr William F. Broening was elected mayor on the republican ticket eight years ago, he was able to carry with him the fourth of the republican ticket. Mr. Broening polled 85,513 votes, 85,000 more than he polled four years ago when Mayor Jackson won with 78,124 votes. George Weens Williams for mayor 8 years ago. Republican councillors have to thank dissension within the democratic ranks for their election. George Weens and Walter Eisenon polled 2000 fewer votes Tuesday than the colored candidates for legislature last year, and nearly 500 more voters for the governor. Mr Wm L. Fitzgerald received when they were defeated for city council four years ago. G. O. P. colored councillors were elected because democrats were the vote for Daniel Ellison, white, 4th district was the largest ever given a republican. Larger by 2000 than that for State Senator Harry Burton, republican members of the legislature. Closer analysis of the balloting will tell what was behind the Republican landlide. The result is plain. The people have trusted the city government for the next four years to the republican party. The AFRO congratulates that party and trusts that it will be able to measure up to its responsibilities. age Sixteen Call Vernon 6016 Welfare and the Square Deal Aro-American building, 623 N.

There is nothing new about this revelation. It's the same story that is told by every careful investigator who visits the place without previous announcement. It's the idiotic story that reports for the past three years. The only wonder is that the state of Maryland permits the exploitation of wayward children by a group of philanthropists whose eyes are fixed on a few sordid jobs for relatives and cheap labor for their plantations. Whenever rightly indignant delights the reform school, these would be philanthropists have wigged out with the declaration that the state does not give sufficient money to support the reform school property. Perhaps not, but the 1923-26 report institutions shows the following: Look at these figures carefully. They show that Cheltenham's per capita cost each year is the second highest among the privately conducted state reform school. These other such schools one for whites and two for colored spend less money per child than Cheltenham. It's true that two of these are conducted by Catholics and that such reform schools' personnel of sisters is not paid, but what of the Industrial Home for girls which operates with a much lower per capita than Cheltenham and has fewer inmates. It's not the state appropriation which is at fault. It's the bad management. The appropriation for this year has been increased compelling counties to pay $200 for each boy sent to the school. By this means the per capita in 1928 will be raised from $278 to approximately $330. This is no small increase yet no relief need be expected. It is simply more money to be wasted. The spendthrift is left with nothing no matter how large the original fortune. What is needed at the Cheltenham reform school is the kind of house cleaning that will be rid of worn out and inefficient management. Until then any increase of appropriation state or county is simply throwing good money after bad. Flood Thank God for the Mississippi river flood. The homes are homeless, property worth $20,000,000 has been destroyed. President Coolidge has asked the country to raise $10,000,000 for flood victims and the nation will have to spend a half billion dollars to make such disastrous impossible. But. Hundreds of workers in Arkansas and Mississippi have been able to plant plants first time in their lives. There they have been held in slavery under so called riding bosses around with six large cities. All they own is their some of them are coming north. No more cotton field for them. Few will go back into slavery contented. They will be forced to plant under ordinary conditions, they would have been shot down like dogs. But God sent a flood to strike off their shackles and, glory be, they are bound for a land of greater promise. Bishop Johnson Bishop Johnson The AFRO commends the courage of Dr. George F. Bragg and his fellow-pastors who publicly protested the abuse of the school, J. Albert Johnson conducted the recent conference here. Personally, Dr. Bragg and those pastors had nothing to gain, except the ill will of those narrow ones who feel that the actions of Bishop Johnson are not subject to public view. The AFRO does not know whose interests and activities have long moved outside denominational lines. The AFRO only commits his actions to a delicate situation, but we trust that this mild protest, admirably expressed, will forever make impossible a repetition of such rudeness, either on the behalf of Bishop Johnson or on his successor. (Norfolk Journal and Guide) The fact that this appointment (R.S. Commissioner, Service Commissioner) passed over the heads of all the other professional and lay groups in Chicago, among which the most prominent is the bishop, to this church dignitary whose position as a spiritual leader gives him a great following and whose influence might be regarded as indicating a sinister move on the part of astute politicians to use as political games the ability to expedient a hiring of a high church leaders. The fact that the House of the Rev. Solomon, Power, Power of the A. M. E. Zion Church, as minister to Liberia is recalled as giving emphasis to this The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly DAYBYDAY WITH WILLIAM N. JONES "If Jesus Christ," declared a young man sitting near him, "manned at all times, the Conference held recently in Baltimore, "had given the report of his life work been sent to one of the worst backwoods charges in the hands of the bishop." The document was made following the practical excommunication of a minister by Bishop J. Albert Johnson whom he said "had reported but $60 dollar money." The wife of this minister had been sent to respond financial suffering and privation, endured when members of their flock failed to respond financial selection, stating "that if the wife would take it and use it for herself and children alone, that if the wife did not want a penny of it to go to the minister." You wonder what Jesus Christ which Bishop Johnson now administers, but who "had not where to meet him of his life, whose only church was the Sea of Galilee and the corners of the Jericho Johnson's stern preachment. You wonder what he would say about the question that the WIFE CEASES TO SHARE HER PATE WITH THE GIRL HE GIVES HER. WHOM SHE HAD BORN SEVEN CHILDREN BREAUSE HE COULD RAISE BEHIND $50 DOLLAR MONEY. Perhaps the good Bishop had other more serious reasons for his decision. THIS YOUNG MAN- SITTING THERE AND SCORES OF OTHER THINGS. TENDING THE CONFERENCE ONLY SAW THE BRUTAL, MOST LESS PROCEDURE, and that is why so many young men and women contempt for the way men administer the Christian religion. Religion Born In Sacrifice The dollar sign would be much more appropriate to the actual spirit and practices of many cultures that embody their lower laws. Yet religion was born in sacrifice and nourished by the devil, and is receiving a low cow when its members raise a low cow, and regard it for the minister, and when a minister's ability to raise money and administer upon which promotions depend. Whatever else happens in Baltimore this month, there are many more of her duties, more of her administration and petty lockings into when the matronate reservation. Parent office Clinton will emerge with a new president. While there are those who may not be disposed to sympathize with the president, she is not the present administration has been conducted, none can deny the fundamental reasons for this change. Following the several blunders, one of which was revealed in a letter signed by Miss Augusta bavage, the president, and announced to the president, krs. Laura Wheatley attempted to make her pay a commission on money from the public school, her resignation would have been the logical conclusion. But instead she persists in holding on to an important law that her public school or political procedure to perpetuate her hold. No one will deny her astuteness and her proactive procedure of constitutional amendment whereby quorum are reduced may finally reduce the organization to one member that member will be the president. A parent federation should be a mass movement. Its president should be a leader with the mass psychology and its real work should be done at the base rather than the apex of the organization. There must be something radically wrong with an organization that must reduce its quorum from 25 to 15 in a growing city like Baltimore and where it claims to represent more than 10,000 parents. There is but one way, it seems out of the muddle, since the incumbent will not exercise the good judgment to help clarify the situation by not running, THAT IS TO ELECT ANOTHER HEAD. Willard W. Allen, a broad-minded public man, has consented to accept the presidency and every member of every school association in the city should get behind their delegates and see that the best interest of the community is served by the election of Mr. Allen next Tuesday. We Don't Want Millionaires M. S. Stewart of Memphis, financier and insurance official raises the question of the scarcity of millionaires in the race. No doubt there are a few, but as Mr. Stewart points out, the importance of safety any announcements of the possession of millions by members of the group. There are数十 millionaires, white or colored. Millionaires and their counterparts are millionaires but human beings are cancerous growths on human society. They are human monstrosities. The giveaway of fat or overweight men and women. But more than this, every millionaire retains the normal growth of maturity and reduces human happiness. To make one millionaire requires that thousands of men women be given to a bound to dumb in the mighty maws of industry. Money does not rain down. It is the product of human toll and effort and its value is based on the necessities. Millionaires are made because in our system of economies men may still take not only what they want, but what is FROM WHAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER MEN AND WOMEN PRODUCE. They take the passing of kings, the millionaire will some day be relegated to the obsolete by-products of EVERY HUMAN BEING SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT, TO WEAVE THINGS THAT ARE THE THOSE THINGS WHICH PRODUCE COMFORT AND HAPPINESS.

Pray, let me be cautious Pray let me be cautious In your issue of April 23rd, we read an article by Ralph Matthews on ministers. He certainly has it in for the preachers good and strong even to the point of discourtesy. Why pick on particular group? Lawyers do, or ministers, is it fair? So few men are competent to write for the public, for this very reason. They write a narrow, biased point of view. They see only through the lens of prejudice. This writer is so bitter against the gentlemen of the cloth, that he calls them jackasses, while at the same time he respectfully speaks of lawyers as lawyers and doctors as doctors. Ministers. I am quite sure, compare favorably with any other group. The worthy preachers your scribbings fail to see. There are shyster lawyers, and quack doctors, as well as jackass ministers, but his eyes seem to be focused only on the churchmen. Good and bad will be found in every class, so why judge any group only by its black sheep. Your author speaks of pastors who smash up a dozens autos, buy a half-dozen homes, and go on annual three Really now, how many ministers does the maker of this state dozen automats, or saved enough money to buy a half-dozen homes or gone on three days?

Regarding the playing of cards, going to movies, and dancing, suggestive speech of all kinds, speaks of them now, and if the time ever came when they would be foolish enough to use the word "Christianity" in things to which Christianity is opposed, worldliness against which a true minister is continually changing, or children, children, children, and accuse of inconsistency. If this writer would take on the spirit of the world, he would helpfulness, let him remember these words, for I am sure he means well, but allowed the person of parish to creep into his writing this time. "Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of the men go by: The men who are good and the men J. DORE, N. Y. C. Belleve In Yourself. All Things Come To Those Who Strive With An Earnest Unfaltering Will. To the Editor: The Negro will never advance in life as long as he thinks he is inferior to the white man. There is no inferiority or depravity about the man that God made. The only inferiority in us is what we put in ourselves. Mind rules the world. We should not think thoughts to carry us downward. We should think thoughts to carry us upward to heights of superior realms. If we think more of ourselves than others will begin to think more of us. If we wish to succeed, we must have more faith in ourselves. The larger faith the more we will accomplish. Others think just what we think we are. No man can be greater than his estimate of himself at the moment. Self-confidence is a valuable asset. When you are seeking a job you have got to make the employer believe you can do the work. He won't believe you can do the work unless you believe you can. If you place a limitation on yourself you will not go beyond that limit. The more confidence you have in yourself, the more ability you will develop. What you think you can do, dream you can do, you have the ability to do it. There are men who are real genuine things because they do not believe they are: a man may have all the things he believes he possesses that ability he will not get results. It is good to know that things will turn out right. Cultivate assurance and divorce yourself if things will turn out right. Cultivate assurance and divorce yourself with negative thoughts; they kill ambition. A man's life in life is by his self-fashion, self-confidence. You will never advance until you take on your own self. Man has no limitations other than those which are self-impose things come to those who strive with an earnest, unfaltering will. A saving that will always be true.

M. E. Church To the Editor: As a reader of your paper and reading in Saturday's paper of April 23, 1927 of a lady wishing to know the location of Peck A. M. E. Church, it is located on Colvin street, between Hillen and Front streets on the right hand side. The church was sold to another faith. I cannot inform her of the sexton's name. The church took its name from the founder and builder, the Rev. Nathaniel Peck, born in Baltimore, free, a descendant of one of Baltimore's best families. He also was sent to Africa in company with the Rev. Daniel Coker by the Colonization Society of the United States in 1833. Salled on the ship, "Elizabeth," from New York. He returned to the states and married Miss Lydia Davis, also a descendant of one of Baltimore's oldest families. He lived a good and Christian life and died December 1st at sunrise on Sunday morning 1867. He was the father of ten children, the grandfather of 80 children, many of them now living. ALICE E.

This school is maintained by the state of North Carolina but the buildings are inadequate to accommodate the boys that should be cared for there.

Lily-White Boothblack Stand In State War And Navy Department Building. To the Editor: In the State War and Navy Department Building, on the ground floor of the 17th street side, there is a boothblack stand for shoes to be shined of the employees of the whole building. (Lily-Whites) but when colored employees seek to have their shoes shined, they are refused. On Saturday last, I stopped in the parlor to have my shoes shined and sat on the seat, but was politely told by the colored man who has to do the (lily-white), shining, that he could not polish my (lily-black) shoes, for it was his instructions not to shine colored employees' shoes in that parlor, but all whites. This parlor is under the supervision of the State War and Navy Building, and Superintendent of Public Buildings and grounds. The State War and Navy Building is just across the street from the White House, and in it the Secretary of State and Secretary of War have their offices and the foul discrimination should permeate the nostrils of the public fair-minded citizens that they may take notice. Lily-blacks, you can't have your shoes shined in this government building shoe shine parlor, but ye Lily-whites, all are welcome, men and women. Such is the rule in this land of Democracy, under a Republican administration "Unshined", Washington, D. C. Coolidge Asked To Name Colored Folk To Care For Flood Suffers In The South. To the Editor: I have sent the following letter to President Coolidge: "Miss Coolidge: The majority of the rea-sulters from the flood in the low-land Mississippi Valley will be colored people, tenants and farm 'hands'. It would be well, therefore, if the Negro officer charged would appoint as the right-hand help to the person or persons put in some Negro officer charged with the special duty of looking sympathetically into the needs and conditions of the Negro community under the general directions of the dictator or other officer in charge. It would prevent a great deal of intelligent and honest colored citizens from scandal if the co-operation of intelligent and honest colored citizens where the interests of the Negro masses are so dearly concerned. Conditions in the southern part of the country are more sary. There may come a day when color will not have to be thought of as a matter of preference of such disasters. But that day has not yet come. When labor is "conscripted" there, it will be great injustice and much scandal unless there is sympathetic authority with the local colored leaders and people. The white leadership is not local colored men, but as such men of color selected personally and locally will have no authority and little influence beyond the wishes of the will be mainly an abuse of the rights that just interests of the colored sufferers.

He believes that philanthropy paralyzes the energies of the black people of the world and pauperizes their spirit. No greater vision has ever haunted the human mind. The accomplishment of the dream is worth a thousand years of the united endeavor of mankind. It is impossible to conceive of any task which will incur to greater advantage of the human race. With this wide difference the battle between the government and the death. Negro newspapers and magazines were filled with criticisms and allegations of a dangerous doctrine. The Garvey Movement became the Garvey Maven. This movement, the trouble-maker, dangerous to whites and blacks alike. His motive and strength urged that he should be deported as a foreign stirring up strife among the blacks. His violent transactions became involved in legal tangles. The "Black Star" filed against him by the Federal authorities for violation of postal regulations, in exchange for a fortune of his ships. Upon this charge he was convicted and sent 20 years is the Federal penitentiary. During the trial Garvey fought like a lion at bay. He and his disillusioned co-worker accused of righteousness' sake and that the technicality of the law was invoked as a pretext. His followers believe that in his zeal to promote a cause which he regarded as holy, a cause which he regarded as the technical letter of the law. No personal wrong-doing is attributed to him. He is attributed to those of those who believe in him, he is as much as much as those of India, both have sinned against the technicalities of India. This is the price which the reformer must reckon to pay when he is given the chance to finance with established public policy. The Garvey Movement attracted the attention of the nation and there was general feeling that he might lash the fury of his followers. His name was on the tongue of every speaker dealing with racial matters. The newspapers and magazines from every angle of approach and point of view. No Negro, not even a nationalist such national motive. He was regarded as a mountebank, a menace, a puzzle. Movement became international in its involvements. The governments of Europe with the United States came alarmed at the impression this Jamaican agitator was making in the international immanations of Negro peoples in the earth. He admonished Negro people to show ownership and assert self-sovereign. His African Empire sent representatives to sought recognition among sovereign nations. Mr. Garvey put governments with colonial control over African territory on notice that their tendency was temporary only, until the Empire of Africa should arrive to claim rightful sovereignty over its own. He sowed the seed of self-determination in the minds of Negroes in all lands and found it to be a fertile soil. They had caught the suggestion from the words of Woodrow Wilson which flew round the world to its remotest bounds and darkest corners. The black heathen in his blindness heard it and was glad. It was, indeed, the gospel of great joy and glad tidings. A Negro bishop to South Africa relates that whenever a white man mistreated a native, he would mark the grudge on his stick of remembrance with the suppressed murmur—"You just wait till Garvey comes." The nations were at first inclined to take the Garvey Movement as a joke, but a joke with a deep-seated undertone of serousness. They all uttered a sigh of relief when it was learned that Garvey had been convicted and placed behind prison bars. No other Negro within the period of recorded history has ever been the object of international solicitude. Mr. Garvey is now serving a five-year term in the台州 pentagon, where he will fine the insurgence of his spirit. A weekly encyclical is issued to the officers of the police, and faithful from a criminal's cell. His the skeleton of his organization but they miss the magic and spell of his mission. He has from his prison house sustain their flaming courage but the gilmo and dukes of the Nile are gone. The Knights of the Nile and Dukes of the Niger have lost their mission. The hour looks dark for the fate of the Empire of Africa. When the provinces resident, as served by the governor, are freed from bonds he may be deported as an undesirable alien. Banished to pent up by the confines of his little island, held under surveillance by the police, he will hardly be able to function effectively across the sea. If we consider, as it now seems even more important, that Harvard Movement is do spent might be profitable to consider the present and future effect of this movement on race and upon the permanent relations of the black and white race. The chief achievement of Marcus Garvey 'consists in his quickness and self-dignity on the part of the common people among black people and self-dignity of all the movements which have been launched by the intelligentsia among black people and have been able to penetrate a certain level of social grade. They do not reach the common people or stir their imagination. The National Association for the African People and its capable and consecrated leadership, so far has been able to penetrate the heart and imagination of groceriat- at. But Garvey are the zeal of the crusade, the lowliest to the frenzy of a crusade. Battle Between The Antagonists Attracted Attention Of The Nation Put Governments In Africa On Notice From Prison Cell Race Consciousness Saturday, May 7, 1972 Garvey Not Only African Apostle Mr. Garvey is by no means the most photogenic of the return of the African continent to the mother continent. The Colonization Society, in the nineteenth century established Liberia, a nineteenth century house of the Afro-Americans, so they could be freed. Many of the African Lincoln bibles, including Abraham Lincoln, bestowed that the American Negro could build a fortune best in his native land. Many leading Negroes of the harbor with this scheme of the wake of some forty years ago, Dr. Emmanuel Blyden, a West Indian man in the wake of this Liberian became an ardent advocate of the return of the race to the land of Africa, a famous Negro scholar depended on the good offices of the white man imbued with the mission spirit of the great enterprise. Bishop Turner, of the African-A.M.E. M.E. Turner, of the African-A.M.E. M.E. became sometime Bishop to Africa, became the patron of the African reclamation. Industrial And Social Conquest Various missionary societies are operating in Africa but have made little effort in lightning up the dark environment. Now comes Marcus Garber, a missionary, who, despite a new program, is preaches race independence, and suffers the reclamation of the political, industrial and social consequences that believers that philanthropy can the black peoples of the world pauzerize their spirit. He has an unparalleled ability in possibilities of his people. No vision has ever haunted the human mind. Compounded of the dream is worth a thousand of the united endeavor of mankind, impossible to conceive of any great advantage to the human world. Heard and Seen In Baltimore we seen in Halloween — We have the military campaign and the man we bosses picked as the people's chief officers. The men we are still arguing about the best man, the candidate who is supposed to win is already on his way to the City Hall. Long before the votes are counted, the candidate is placed on the desk to put his feet and has had his private cupider up to receive four years of political tobacco juice. The party, whose election judge can count, a democratic counter turns his back, his party, loses a vote. Winning an election used to consider of getting the most votes in the votist box, but now the party win with quick hands is more valuable than a dozen speech makers. Mayors are really elected in the back rooms of near-bear saloons; the polls are used just to make the rooms think they had something to do with it. Politics make strange bed-fellows but few of them are ever caught with one eye on his opponent and the other on his campaign manager. The best man always wins if he can buy enough votes. Being mayor has its uncertainties. You know when you will be called up to wear a high hat. Many a man who started out on the job from the City Hall get to the city by mistake. Either way you the city will pay your expenses. The work of a mayor is so confining that it is hard for him to find a job. It is impossible. A married man may be a bale man in the executive building, but he is just a husband in the home. The difference between being the mayor and being a bale man in the white house, but a mayor can paint the home any color his wife decides likes. Mayors should be elected on the ballot, should be given a reward for their services. For instance, why can we not honor John C. Nickelman for the opulent children's home for the opulent children's home. And Mr. O. Shucks, who declared that it was unfair for fish to have schools, while oysters are allowed to grow up in ignorance, is sure worthy of credit. Why are the oysters taken from the Chesapeake Bay considered the best in the country? Simply because of the extensive uplift work that Shucks has carried on for the past few years. The morale of the Baitmore oyster is much higher than that in any other city. Chicago politicians hire professional gunmen to shoot up the pits of Baltimore politicians hire them to shoot the bull.

The judge being cloaked for two hours in that room — hours that dragged like years to the man whose fate they were. Is Loisle Kayne guilty in the matter where he stands indicted or not guilty?" asked the bailiff after they had been seated. A deadly silence settled over the courtroom as the judge is guilty," he said slowly. Are you ready for sentence?" asked the judge in a voice that tried to the stern, in quarered. Are your honor," said Kayne standing. "Then I command that your body be delivered to the Warden of the Marsh, and you shall remain until such a time as his Excellency, the Governor, shall set a date for your execution, when you shall execute the sentence of your death and God have mercy on your soul." The words fell from his lips cold and deliberate. I nodded about the courtroom frantically. All faces were solemn, tears appeared in the eyes of women, men turned their gaze quietly upon the man, who was in the mother's lap, knowing not the meaning of it all, smiled and waved at him. Kayne smiled back, then turning followed his guard around. Alone in the death house he had time to think. In another part of the pentimento he were whistling and singing. Where Leslie was there was only the clanking of his own cell door or the shrieking of his own head to break the monotony. He thought about — first of all, Gwen — where she was, she did she know that she prayed she never would. If he had stayed in New York with her and continued to write songs he would not be the man they were meant to succeed — of Broadway — would never be realized. He was a miserable failure as a lawyer, he did not depend so much on mental capacity as on mental attitude. Nothing he wanted he did but the desire was not there. Three wives, he meditated, had played an important part in deciding most of them chose to help his aid. He cursed them at first, cursed them with all the vileness and bitterness they had given them. He changed, God forgive them, he prayed, all women are sickle. Joy might have saved him, money can do most anything. Clockwise, God did what she loves: *Of course, she knew nothing of his predicament and if she did, she too, had probably forgotten that he could only bear her voke again!* "The Governor has set a date for your execution," said the wife, the sixth, "Well, that's good news." r replied Karne, "So His Excellency finally found a few lilies from his polluted yard, could manure to send me a magazine two, could you Warden? it says I'd never come up of days off my life to just run my fingers over a plane again."

Three wives, strangely alike in many respects and yet vastly different. Three wives that to him had been mistresses, mistlings, regret and now death. The death of shame, the death of murderers, cut threats, traitors and men who were a menace to society, but who were the fact that he was innocent. What was that little Shakespearean verse he used to quote in school? He was a menace to society, die many times before their death, the valiant die but once. He too, would die but once. He was a menace to society, cultured, petted, pampered Joyce, Pride and ambition was with her more a fault than a virtue. Pride and ambition was with her aside to save him even though there was a doubt about his guilt. He could see her position plainly, embarrassing and rickish on another woman before the tragedy, what assurance had she that he would be true to her if she did get public pity. He could not blame her. He could hear the wagging tongues of gossipers making her an object of public pity. He could not blame her. Then there was Cleo. the wife of the murdered man. Frivolous, full劉 Cleo. He knew that she had killed man for the good things his money could afford, but he thought she had learned the lesson of the error of her ways. Could it be possible not to supply the sake of her husband's insurance money? Was she sending him to the gallows sacrificing his life for gold? No, he could not think that he would be something deeper. Could she have loved him too? No. he decided, love does not work like that. Then there was Gwen. Gwen the woman that imparted had stolen from him and tricked into becoming his wife. Since his early days at college Clifford had been his arch enemy and even now he was where at the bottom of this affair but just what part he had played in bringing about his condemnation he was unable to say. Gwen the woman he had even loved. The one woman for whom he was ready and willing to sacrifice his all. The woman of his day thought and night dreams, the inspiration of all his songs, songs that would never be Gwen, too, had gone. Three wives had each written an indelible chapter in his life, but she was the one in the link of destiny, preparatory to writing the word final, he found himself alone. He passed swiftly to those without but to the condemned man they dragged with intolerable slowness. The tickling minutes seemed to mark the might which might be brought contentment, refused to be courteed. Cigarettes lost their flavor, the food they brought him had no appeal. He read the newspapers and papers held no interest for him. One article did catch his attention. He read several pages and read the thing which had been his lifetime ambition.

They merely intimated that the scores had a different twang to anything ever so broadway. And so in that show, No, they had not met the star. She too was a mystery. Most of her numbers wore to be sung alone, but she was to meet them tonight. Rupert Clifford who was in New York on a spree trying to escape his conscience, left his room at the Hotel Olaig and hailing a car. He was not an unknown figure around Harlem after midnight and was greeted with wild acclaim by a host of gold diggers. There were whisperings all about. "Who is this 'she' everybody is talking about?" he demanded between drinks of his high yaller companion. Why the star of Star of the Moon, the new show. It's supposed to be greater than "Shuffle Along" he was informed. There was a sudden comeback. There was a womenswear wrap staged majestically into the hall and was presented to the assembly by the floor manager as the "Ye gode," cried Clifford leaping to his feet, "why that’s my wife," she replied, "and I was passed his table. She uttered a scream of surprise as she recognized him. "You!" she cried. "She putting on any of your damned airs. Act like you are glad to see me. He pulled her forcefully into the air. You know that the man you throw me over for will hang like the dog he is tomorrow night, you wouldn’t be so Ritzy. There was a look of horror on her face as she stared at him. "Not Leslie," she faltered. "Tell me it can’t be. She was almost hysterical. "Can’t eh? Read that," he said with a sneering smile, tossing her a clipping from his paper. "She forced a laugh. Well, old dear," she said, "it’s nothing to me but forget him — but just tell me how you framed him. Here take another drink. Her hand shook nervously as she shook him a "My dear Mise," the Gov- ernor as she sat across the next afternoon, "as much as I would like to grant your request, I am powerless to do so. Twelve men have found him guillotine, and one man to reverse their decision, merely on the hands of a story you heard from a drunken slout in a club? What would you vote for the girl with cried the girl with *emotion.* "Does not a man's life mean more to you than a few menalty votes? You must save him. I tell you he is innocent." Gwen left the office. She was in a daze. She knew not which way to turn. Where could she and I be? Where could I be by the hands on the city hall clock moved. Ten-thirty and still her frantic search was not rewarded. Eleven o'clock. One minute after twelve Lieshow took his place in Liesley's cell "as your soul sate?" he asked in solemn tones. "Safe as a dollar, father," smiled Leslie. "And if it not even hell could meet me or than what I should have done here. Are they ready for me, out there?" "Yes," answered the priest, as the Warden nodded his head. "Brace up you chaps," said Kayne. "Any one would think it was you instead of me who was going to be the one. His voice choked on that last word. The Governor was pacing his office. He had been impressed with the girls aory and had refused to help. He had filled out the papers, but he thought it hopeless as his desk clock ticked consistent with the door open and two women entered. One fell at his feet. "I lied, I lied," she cried. "I lied because I loved him and he scorned me." He corner seized the phone. His line was already open direct to the Penitentiary. He talked hurriedly. Gee. Its tough to chest those boys down from the trap Kayne, looking down from the trap on which he stood upon the newspaper men as the noose was lifted from his neck. He met him the next day and carried him away. She told him about Rupert. Next morning Leslie had disappeared. Under her door she found a note reading, "I will take it to take him." They will need it as soon as I call Clifford. Kayne had gone to New York. She must follow him to his steps out of taxi in front of Rupert's seventh avenue apartment. her heart came into her mouth. There was a crowd gathered around her. The body of a dead man on a stretcher. was Rupert's. Kayne walked down the steps behind them. Restraining herself no longer. She forced her arms to touch the crowd and threw her arms around his neck. "Why did you do it, Leslie? she cried. "Didn't you returned Kayna, 'girl he ruined beat me to it." "Then you 'you're not a murderer?" "In my heart I am, but not in fear he hated me." The premiere of the new musical comedy had been postponed a week, and Leslie stood with Gwen Lowry at the twinkling lights Broadway. "How did you do it. Gwen? he naked, admirably, and had some I gathered up all your songs you left scattered about the place and made them into this revue. Gee. It was hard work. Leslie, especially with you away, had some music you would back to me." The mystery surrounding the writer of those catchy songs was at last revealed in the world, as the discovering singer smelled the phrase "Music by Leslie Kayne." FINIS.

Hokum Answered "Stanley, dear," she said, after she had accepted him, "you wouldn't think it strange to paper to the effect that we are engaged, would you?" Stanley was far too happy to think anything strange, and with trembling she sighed the demand. Then she sat down beside him. "Dearest," said Stanley, breaking the silence at last, "tell me why you wanted me to do this paper. My confidence in my affection." "Oh, yes," she sighed, "but darling, I've been fooled so many times. Some people marry me, some for them, but most of them for only a short time. Happy is the man who is too darned busy to feel sorry for himself. ELSIE OWENS Let me give you a few suggestions to help you make your meals health giving. Milk, cheese, eggs meats, meats, cheese, eggs and nuts are foods rich in protein and make blood and repair tissue. Foods rich in starch are bread cereals, meats for breakfast and fats there are several starchy foods. These starchy foods make heat and energy in the body. These foods containing sugar are molasses, syrup, honey, jellies and jam, cakes and desserts. The sugars also give heat and energy to the body. Fats also furnish energy. Some foods depended on for fats are butter, cream, dard and other culinary fats, salt pork, bacon, chocolate, cream among mineral salts, among which are milk and eggs, whole cereals, fruits, green and yellow vegetables. These foods are as balancers for the premature brain to brain and nerve cells. Knowing that different foods build different parts of the body should be the basis for the preparation of a meal now that loading the body on one material and supplying nothing for other needs is like starting a car with plenty of gas in the tank, but no water in the tank. Plan your menus then, so that at two meals each day will be provided from each group. You can also have a pint of milk a day for each member of the family even though it is skim milk. Use it for soups and desserts if not required. Remember that one quarter pound of edible meat is enough for one person a day and even that is not necessary if other protein is used. Fruit once a day, one raw vegetable, one leaf vegetable cooked. Buttering may be substituted for butter, and sugar made from sugar may be used occasionally for dessert. Here are some suggestions for a menu planned for eight people. Orange juice, served in punch glasses, cooked cereal, rolls, 8 boiled eggs, butter, top milk, 5 cups for cer- tain milk, 1 half cup, one-half cup for cereal, and coffee. Gumbo soup, roast veal, potatoes and cheese, grape juice, juice glipped cream. Oranges sliced with coconut, Boston bread, butter, one large head of lettuce, French dressing, sponge cake tea with milk and sugar. INJUDICIOUS PRAISE Lenora Bailey Mrs. Lee was visiting the studio where her five-year-old daughter, Virginia, was beginning the study of instrumental music. Virginia had been playing little songs and had done very well. "O, what a lovely voice you have, Virginia! you can certainly sing, gushed, held hands, owner and conductor." "Not she fine? She ought to have little lessons in vocal work, raved Faye, Mrs. Fields' grown sister. Virginia twisted with pleasure and complacency and remarked, "Yes, I think I do sing real well." "Of course you do," agreed the ladies. The thoughtful mother took her little daughter out of the studio as soon as possible. On the way home, Virginia asked, "What did you do. To this the another responded: "Yes, I think it so nice of them to say such kind things about my little girl. Of course you know, dear, they wanted to make us happy so they were extra genius." The child was thoughtful for a few minutes and then said, "Well, I do think can shine in the dark." I asked Mother, around here, Mother, don't you think I should begin to take vocal and dancing lessons?" "No, indeed, dear; not for quite a whirl." "But, Mother, Faye said I was a born dancer and Mrs. Fields told me I was the most graceful child in her family," Mother said. "I can do better than she can even if she does feel so smart and big." "Listen, dear, Mother will tell you when she wants you to do those exertions, but she is not worry any more about them." After a short silence: "Mother, Faye thinks I won't ever amount to anything the way you are raising me." The mother was absolutely nonplussed for a few moments. She felt in her heart that you should have been exposed in this way, especially since she had to help Virginia constantly because of a natural tendency to be insecure. She was sorry to see the unacustomed frown of irritation on the face and wondered how she could take such an attitude toward a child or permit her sister to do so. "Does Mrs. Fields carefully consider and weigh all her advice?" she asked. "Do I do?" she questioned. "We were both students of Child Psychology, yet I cannot see that she applies any of her knowledge either. Is it possible to deal in dealing with mine." But she pushed the annoying thoughts quickly and resolutely aside and looking down tenderly at her mother. "And what does Virginia think?" It was the child's turn to be non- plussed. Then meeting her mother's lovine gaze, a new spirit of loyalty was born. "I'd rather have you for my mother." was her somewhat irrelevant reply. A policeman saw an old man beating a small boy. "Why beat the boy?" he asked. "Listen," replied the man. "I sent Isaac to the delicatessen, and gave him two quarters, one to buy fish.

One way is as follows: 1. catch the chicken, any ordinary old hen will do; 2. hold the chicken's bill on board floor; 3. with a piece of chalk tap on the floor directly in front of the chicken's bill; 4. draw a heavy, straight chalk line, not less than the chicken's bill and leading directly from it in the direction the chicken is looking; 5. now let loose the chicken gently and remain perfectly quiet, and if there is no moment nearby the chicken will remain a considerable time starting at SPRING FEVER Lazy In April?

TRI-UNE Makes Your Feet Happy GOOD MORNING JUDGE Zack Took Too Much Zack Frazier, 1323 Argyle avenue, is one man who believes in killing two girls, and in stone. Zack had aggrandged by his best girl who happened to be a sister of Horace Fletcher, 1423 Winchester street. One night Zack went to the latters' home with a revolver to kill killing that young Horace Horace receive the weapon and re- ceive it give it back to him. Friday, Zack broke into the home to recover his gun, hounding $30 of Horace's money in the basement for good measure. In the Northwestern Police Station, Saturday, he told the Judge that he had a perfect right to kill which he did, him, but when he unable to justify his claim to the $30, he was committed to court. The City Dude And The age-old story of the city sheik and the country maid, took another turn in the case of Frank Kelly, 34, 1130 East street, who applauded John Horkins, a minister for treat-ments in the countryside, Sunday, after his return from Magothy, Anne Arundel County, Md. According to the police, he put his flashy clothes if the latest outfit in the country to give the natives a treat. Admiring eyes followed the fashion plate as he displayed his Drud Hill avenue raiment and Gowns. He also dressed in his Dorsay. So enamored did she become with the dashing young Adonis that her former lover, who was of the rustic type and thought that a new chick of erals was in the city attire, given the go to her. They gave a big party over at Jim Harrison's house, Friday night, and it was the city slicker instead of the tried and true country had who accompanied Miss Calle to the big toads. "Reds," the familiar names with which the small town lover was known, did not come to do but came uninvited, and unannounced. By virtue of his coming, Kelly on his return to the city applied at the hospital to have his wounded Anne Arundel County authorities are the jilted lover on charges of assault.

Preston street, became a connection on Pennsylvania avenue, getting both in the toils of the law. According to a Northwestern district officer, the father was Preston St. and Pennsylvania avenue, and saw two men struggling in the street. He had a suspicion that they were the father and both said William Randall, he was sure of it. At the hearing Sunday morning, the father both really were named William Randall, and that only the father was drunk. The struggle ensued when he refused to account for the father was fined $1 and costs for disturbing the peace. The judge advised the elder Randall to pattern his life after his son, whom he dismissed. FINED FOR ASSAULTING, CUTTING AND Arthur Blay, 221 N.

Apparently and mechanical condition will CURRY-STOUT MOINT RAIL AND MARITAL MOINT RAIL AND EVENING BALLET 45 40 40 FOR AUTO OWNERS Leathing Band Reflectors These band reflectors, which can be purchased at any drug or hardware store, is excellent to clean lamp reflectors. A little lamp reflector can be placed over the surface of the reflector, quickly restore its brilliance. Rub with a circular motion. It will not leave a band reflector. A time it leaves a certain film on the surface that prevents tarnishing. If the surface is badly tarnished, use a band of lampblack and water, finish with another cloth and dry lampblack. Oil Funnel Select a round quart bottle of clear glass. Saturate a piece of cord in kerosene or turpentine, it it tightly bottom and ignite the cord. As the flame dies out, tap the bottom of the bottle sharply. The bottom will break off where the cord was tied. Result is a practical funnel for pouring oil into the breather pipe. Grease The Headlight Rims Quite often a headlight lens is broken, or a cold chisel and hammer become necessary to remove the lens from the pipe, necessary to replace a lamp or clean a reflector. This can be avoided easily if a little grease is rubbed on the rims the next time they are removed. Adjusting Tire Chains Drape the chain over the wheel with the clamps to the rear, so that when the clamps strike the road, they strike with a "closing" motion. If the clamps are turned in a reverse direction, then the clamps as they strike the ground, which is often the cause of losing a chain. Squeaky whees are often caused by the drying out of the wooden spokes. When the spokes are allowed to work into the spoke joints, it will tighten the spokes. Corroded Fuse Electrical connections will sometimes corrode. Don't blame it always on a burn-out fuse if the lights go on and off. See if the fuse is corroded. To Clean The Class Try dipping a clean cloth in gasoline and polishing lightly over the windshield and windows, then polishing with a dry cloth. Pennsylvania Ave. at Dolphin—Fremont and Harlem Aves.

WILLARD ALLEN NAMED TO HEAD FEDERATION Delegates Say Popular Business Man Will Harmo- Delegates Say Popular Business Man Will Harmonize Factions Willard W. Allen, well known business and fraternal man, has been nominated by a group of more than 30 delegates to head the Federation of Parent Teacher Clubs subject to an election which is scheduled to take place somewhere in the city next Tuesday. In a letter to delegates seeking his assistance to lift the Federation from the factional, strife and dissension in which the present administration has drifted. Mr. Allen set forth his views on the organization's best efforts to the organization. His entering the election, he says follows submission to the will of the many delegates, parents and members of the various school federations. He emphasizes the importance and help make the organization a potent factor in school welfare, here. They point out that the organization has been for some time narrowing down to a one person affair and that only recount the quorum of the organization to actual work of organization placed in the hands of a committee of three as a result of administrative inefficiency and high handed politics. Mr. Allen plans to make it a mass organization and bring about the establishment of parents, teachers and others who make up the various associations. Won't Divulge Meeting Some idea of the kind of political tactics to which the organization is being subjected was also revealed this week when less than five days before the date of an annual election, Mr. Wheatley issued to give on the place of meeting. When, asked where the Federation was to be held next week, Mrs. Wheatley said they were deciding on one of two places. When asked to the two places were, she replied: "I don't think I am in a position to say just where the two places are." Later Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Wheatley telephoned the AFROMERICIA and stated she will be in the Vocational School, in the rear of Douglass High School. Efforts to reach the Rev. C. S.

They declare that if high-handed politics is kept out of the meeting he will be elected. Mr. Allen's letter to delegates follows: TO THE FEDERATION OF PARENT TEACHER CLUBS: We feel that a gross injustice and an unfair statement has been issued the Federation Parent Teachers Association to the effect that Mr. Allen was named by one person alone. It needs but one person if parliamentary usages are observed. Allen's name was endorsed by thirty-six persons in writing for his candidacy. We should be very grateful that Mr. Allen would even accept the Candidacy for President of the Federation Parent Teacher Association, he being such a busy man, and every minute minute so much to blow. Mr. Allen is one of the most highly respected citizens of our city, being recognized as such by both races. His opinions so strong on any matter moment relative to the welfare of our race. With the responsibility of welfare that rests upon us we must unite and elect the person who is his choice.
