"There they are in most instances, helpless, clothesless, most of them destitute having in this case on the one hand, the children everywhere, sleeping ten and fifteen in a tent, while the government through the Red Cross works hard to provide food and temporary shelter. "All of these camps are closely guarded by militia. It was necessary for us to get a pass in order to go to another pass in order to come out. "The Red Cross explanation of this is that close guarding is necessary for us to get a pass in order to go to another pass in order to come out. "Refugees themselves, many of whom rent on farmlands, believe that close guarding is done to prevent them from leaving and finding more pleasant homes elsewhere. "Farmers for the first time.

This labor, kept in ignorance, poorly housed and in virtual peonage, is now out for funds, independent of the Red Cross. "In each of the communities."

ISAAC C. GANNISTER, Manager INQUIRY ASKED INTO SANITY OF RAPIST NEW TRIAL DENIED; NO GROUNDS FOR APPEAL WASHINGTON, D. C.—The District Supreme Court will be asked to inquire into the mental condition of Philip Jackson, who is under sentence to be electrocuted Friday, July 1, for a criminal assault upon Mrs. Daisy Welling, white in the Capitol grounds on the night of February 18. Attorney John H. Wilson, who defended Jackson by assignment of the court, declared Monday that he does not believe the convicted man is of sound mind. He said that he would punish the man by incarring the law of Jackson before the law exacts the death penalty. Jackson is 30 years of age, evidently an adult. He has of low intelligence, practically illiterate, being barely able to sign his name. On the witness stand he appeared stupid in testifying in his own behalf. A motion for a new trial on the ground of improper conduct by Assassin K. Collins referring to Jackson in the course of his argument to the jury as a "brute" was first overruled Justice Hoehling. Assassin K. Collins notated an appeal and asked the court to grant him sufficient time to perfect his appeal to the District Court of Appeals, prior to the date for the execution of Nick Eagles, Sam Moreno and John Proctor, all white men, the defense's lawyer, W. Busch Justice Hoehling indicated that for the electrocution of Jackson, Jackson had been given a fair trial and complimented Mr. Wilson upon which he handled the defense. Execution Delayed The inquiry of the severity of Jackson and the appeal will probably delay his execution. Legal opinion, however, is that there are little or no grounds in the case to believe the penalty statically. He and nothing to say when the court clerk asked him if he had anything to say why senators should not be imposed upon him. After the date for his execution he told Attorney Wilson that he had been sent to prison to have him attend to. He seemed not to realize that in less than two months the law had said that he was to be burned down. First he Be Electroced. Jackson will probably be the first person to be electrocuted in the District. He was punished to be charged from beginning to end of electrocution January 30, 1925. No one as yet has been electrocuted in the District all. The death of the prisoner has death have taken an appeal and is not likely that their case will be heard next. Herbert L. Copeland was the last person to be hanged here. COMMENCEMENT DATES FIXED WASHINGTON. D. C.

Worth M. Tippy who is in the flood area as the representative of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, wired on April 30 that his "understanding of the magnitude of the disaster increases every hour." He reports by wire that "aid in government must come from outside the imminated area," and appeals to the churches to give the most generous support to the American Red Cross in its efforts to cop with a visit to the refugee camp today and it taught me more than any amount of statistics. Negroes are the greatest sufferers. I have the husbands, wives, children and aged people huddled together. Practically all are landy for meat and poultry. They have practically left and since this year crop is being ruined the prospect for the five million acres of cotton are under destroyed and it is too late to do much planting. 80 Per Cent Word.

Then there will be a demand for vast water, building, return of people to their homes, care of the sick and injured. The whole intense suffering will have to be faced and this is doubly difficult because the population is rural, and beateried over the plantations in some parts of the accessible parts of the United States. "This is the job of the Red Cross immediate, pressing, literally staggering. They need all the money a generous and prosperous people can give it quickly. The Red Cross spent five million dollars in the Florida disaster. The present need is several times greater." Dr. W. H. Thomas Given Welcome WASHINGTON. —Metropolitan A. M. E.

PASTORS ALLEGE CRIME STORIES HELP CRIME Newspaper stories of crime are not a deterent, but to the contrary actually aid in making criminals, declared the Rev. R. A.

Green, called the pastor of mercy in the prison for the morbid years ago in which the morbidity of mercury was used as a poison. It started a wave of bichloride poisoning, the pastor. An elaborate story about a student suicide was followed by an epidemic of suicides in 38 other localities this year, the pastor stated, because the newspaper gets into places where the church does not reach and these stories were terrified in life, "As the race is struggling," said the Rev. Mr. Green, we need to hold up the best rather than the life of our life." worst Sue. Dr. George F. Braga said that crime stories in the newspapers called attention to the clergy of their duty institutions. The Rev. D. L. Miller said that newspapers give so much attention to crime that they do not give sufficient space to the more serious side of life, and that church activities are not adequately covered in the news The Rev. C. H. Steptoeau declared with if crime stories were published and with the intention to expose, and with the sentiment that crimes out of the jurisdiction punished swiftly, some measure crime stories might help in some measure to deter crime.

The cramped and inadequate quarters at Saratoga and Vincent streets where they were located for more than a half century, they have graduated in a similarly beautiful marble structure.

McCard, who related in an address punctured with humor his twenty-five years of experience.

This Bible verse was supplied by Franklin Johnson, a member of Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. WEEKLY SERMON PROPHECY By the Rev. E. Y. Mullins of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky. Eye hath not seen, nor car heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared or them that lioned in the wilderness. All things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23. Both these texts show that contrast between the testimony of the senses and the discoveries of faith. Eye hath not seen, nor car heard, that faith penetrates beyond senses and discovers new words. I had the pleasure recently of hearing an address by a scientific man on the subject of Soil Science, especially interesting forecast of the possible course of scientific achievement. Many things were foreseen, and there were among them were chemical production of food in various forms, the cheapening of light and power, the poses, the conquest of cancer and other diseases, the increase of speed limits on land and sea and communication between the planets of our solar system. These and other possible advances in power were confidently affirmed. These prophecies were based upon past achievements. The speaker reminded us of the slowness of the earth's crust, and of the past which later became established facts. Wise men said yellow fever and diphtheria would never be mastered. In earlier days the air was absurd and absurd idea. The idea of the navigation of the air was ridiculed as crack-brained. One prophet said among the wildest dreams that the earth was already full grown. No genius new force would be discovered. And yet men went on discovering new laws. Today science is more eager and alert and purposeful than ever. All along the way it has been a conflict between sense and faith. Bethel A.M.E. Church SUNDAY, MAY 15th QUARTERLY MEETING DAY Dr. P. J.

The truth has graduated emergence that the unimaginable storehouse of forces, of lawful gifts from God to man, awakening his discovery. Religion and science work. Faith has large capacity for belief. Both learn from once that doubt paralyzes while faith stimulates. Doubt of course has its place as a means towards truth. It projects against illusion and reality and self-deception. But doubt by itself tends to paralyze, while faith is a very sharp spur to effort. The human mind and the unimaginable storehouse of forces each other. They match each other the glove matches the hand for which it is made. The unseen unheard, unspected forces are all about a photographic plate. Wrapped to these facts and forces and the right focus is attained it registers them. Every new fact and law we discover is a fresh proof of the unseen unheard than our speaking to us through the things that are made. The music of the orchestra is not music to any except those who are not so naive to some animals, which are offended by it. The leader may be hidden from the audience behind the curtains in players on the instruments see in the book through them he impresses his mind upon the hearers. God is the hidden leader of the great orchestra of the universe. The outreaching of the divine mind is but the reflection in us of the infinite. Now just as faith knows so limitly what it may discover in physical universe, just as the mind of man is made for nature, so also, the soul of man is made for God in Christ. In him, says Paul, is hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The spiritual faculty of God, out of faith surpasses love and is the great reveler of spiritual riches.

Says State Should Take Over Storer CHARLESTON, W. VA.—Mrs. Wm. Drewery of Clark is the only city councilwoman of the state and wife of the U. S. Pentagon Spotlight is thrown on Mrs. Drew Negro life just issued by the Beuah Negro life just issued by the Beuah Negro welfare and the same recount shows that there are councilmen and five states in various sections of the state. Among the postmasters A. C. Spurlock in Westchester, ROSA Harper Brown Institute; Mrs. Carrie Brown Denmar and Mrs. Jessie and Mitchell, Watoga. Office Holders Some ideas in the report in which it distributes its municipal state offices among the race map is shown by the report which three justices of the peace, three deputy sheriffs, and three patrolmen, and there are 38 employees attached to the State Executive Department, including a director of the Bureau of Welfare and Deputy Harper, and another Howard Harper, in the office of Delegates. Two-thirds of men over sixteen are engaged in mining. In 1925, 2590 colored men were thus employed. The majority of employed in the state in practically all of the counties where矿 is mined in commercial quantities over sixteen years ago. In 1919 it is said to show the efficiency and the competency of colored miners and their value and importance in the farming however, is not an inexorable means of livelihood is bound by the fact that of the 14,000 men in the group are owned by them. In the proxuses are listed 62 physicians, 31 pharmacists, 2 chirochirurgists, 25 lawyers and 14 registered Physiclans Needed The report also calls attention to the fact that more physicians are needed in the state. At least 100 more could find lucrative fields, especially in Charleston, more lawyers, pharmacists and nurses is shown by the report. The total population of Negroes throughout the state is 4,000 and 4,000 years there was an increase of 12,000. In Bluefield the own 82.1 per cent of the homes they occupy; in Huntington 60 per cent while in Clarksville and 64.7 and 49.8 per cent respectively. Business activities cover a wide range and the four large insurance companies operating throughout the state are 400,000 of insurance on 11,000 people. Need Educated Ministers One of the great needs as the present time as pointed out by the ministers. Of the more than 400 ministers in the state less than 50 have had two years of more of standard college work and than 100 have had schooling to a standard high school course. While a majority of the ministers in the state are earnest conscientious men, and are serving the spiritual needs of the people, a few of them have any well thought out programs for social welfare, community betterment or children's and youth improvement. With the few exceptions, the ministry, the report says, there is very little hope for improvement in this condition in the near future. The problem seems to be one which the ministers are coming to understand and to address in the local churches and, in this connection the young people who are coming out of high schools and colleges and take activities in the churches and communities may greatly aid in the solution by entering into religious work and creating a healthy sentiment of fellowship among the churches the important, immoral, venous and venal preachers who are disturbances to the cause of religion and the progress of the race. There are seven Negro hospitals in Wa. Storer College Stover College The report highlights that the State take over the maintenance and further development of Stover College, a measure of educational expansion and financial needs of that institution. A weakness pointed out in the national system is the lack of schools. Notwithstanding the fact that two thirds of the people are buried in mines there are no schools in any trade or this industry; the students are all taught branches of this highly important industry. Union And Mining The report is given to the question of the report is given to the question of the question of the Negroes to coal mining. The mine owners have employed a larger number of colored than white mines. This policy followed the mine miners took towards the strike discrimination on the part of the mines a large number of colored miners to defend Logan County, the armed marchers of the Union Miners. Although in the past work has been irregular and the migration from the lowlands increased the number in cases of the demand, since 1925 the work has been reduced without the state and Nero miners have been in constant demand.

Benvenuto Collini. Fra Angelico, Giotto. Lorenzo the Magnificent, an Italian playwright who played the organ in the great cathedral; and Browning, Ruskin. Lowell and many other great American artists and writers also spent considerable time here. Galileo Here also was the home of Galileo, the astronomer, who will be remembered by the Churchmen to sign the famous document, which declared that the earth was flat and did not move around the earth, but that the sun moved around it. Florence was really the home of the Renaissance; so far as artistic interest is concerned, her place in the world that can be mentioned in the same breath with Florence is not the same. Come to Italy and not visit Florence, or Firenze, as it is known here, is like putting your knife in your mouth. You simply don't belong. that you simply don't belong. Tourists Gallop Thru **tourists Gallop** And be sure to tradition the Florentine hotel-keepers wax rich to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars yearly for their service. They book the flock here, know little and care less what it's all about, from the manner in which they gallop through the places. It's here, and that enough. Most of the tourists are English and American, the former do it as a rite, but many do it for the other reasons, that these around them don't know English frankly express themselves. "I'm glad this town is the last, and we can have a good time in it," they say, older lady with a down-home accent to say to her husband. Both were being dragged around by an enthusiastic daughter. It warred, and there were some seventy-six palaces in Florence. These palaces were built many centuries ago, and today, look like anything inviting as homes. I at least would much prefer a steam-heated flat in America. But in their day they were the last word in residences. The rich of course, have moved out of most of these palaces, many of which are now used as public buildings. The poor are still building out of these their homes built about the same time, and as builders in those days made little or no PALMER 25 YRS. OLD OPENS 2 BUILDINGS By J. C. HYMAN SEDALIA, N.

GALLOP THRU TO GET TO P provision for getting rid of the waste of the human body by bathing or otherwise, one can imagine how it is. Fancy, as is the case in many sections of Italian and French towns, of having to walk a quarter of a mile or more to a water-closet. Italy Lacks Wood And as these houses as they are made of stone, are icy in winter, and are cold in summer in Italy, as there are almost no trees. At least, I have seen comparatively few. And since Florence is a mountainous city, we now-clad mountains, it is pretty cold. Urinoirs Throughout France and Italy there are public urinaries on the streets. In France they are partly covered, but in Italy, they are entirely open, and the urinals are very clean. Anglo-Saxonized pee-people like myself to use them at first. Wouldn't it be a treat to be able to project one's self into the mind of some of our goody-goody English and Americans who they first see in public. But what is it seeing away from what ought to be one's chief topic in writing about Florence. The Medicls Perhaps the most historical place here is the Duomo, or Cathedral a great structure of bright-colored marble on the exterior with a vast interior. The Duomo remind me of the giant trees of California. In this place really centered the power of the great Medici family, which ruled the duchy for a very long time. Giuliano, was assassinated near the altar at the moment of breaking the Eucharist wafer. One of the conspirators to make sure that the Duke was protected, the duchy was assigned to guard his arm around the Duke's waist as he entered, and said with a laugh: "Your Grace, it seems to me you're getting fat." Savanarola Here also, Savonarola, the great reformer, preached many of his most influential works, and such burning eloquence that he won the people away from the Medici, and that he burns many of their art treasures, particularly their pictures of nude ladies. However, he made the missteps, and he burns his own for mixed politics with his preaching, at least, so historians say, and was burned alive in the public Machlayelli Another famous Florentine was Niccolo Machiavelli, whose book, "The Prince", has been the Bible of almost, every city. It is also that of Mussolini. His theory, in brief, is that "rule by the people" is a pleasant fiction; that as a mass they have about as much intelligence and sense of rejection as they may have been and thrown in the yard; that although they say much about what they want, they wouldn't know their "FROCK DAY" AT WILBERFORCE BY "SECK" SIMMS The Kappa Alpha Pai Fraternity rendered its annual program a shorter auditorium.

The meeting will open the campaign in this city to need $325,000 the amount needed at the present to repair buildings, and for other purposes at the University. An effort is being made to reach every student and parent student, well as friends of Fisk, to bring before their attention the crisis facing the University at the present time. The meeting here will give the alumni and the public opportunity and the first time the new President Elsa Jones, the new President of Fisk. COME RIGHT ON IN Picture 4.

Crowd Can't Get Used To European Comfort Station. rights even if they had them, hence the best thing was, like the doctor said, to use the sugar-coating liberally for them, sugar-coating liberally with patriotism, religion, race or any other handy prediction of theirs. Color Question This city has the scene of a color question between blacks and whites (Biancan and Neri) which raged with even more violence than it did in America because the matched the whites. If I remember rightly, were headed by Dante; and the blacks by Donati. The latter, getting the upper hand, ordered Dante to be burned alive. Dante escaped, and later got even with Donati when he wrote his immortal work, "The Divine Comedy." He made Donati one of the characters, and pictured him the head to the This color dispute, by the way, was about as logical as one between two of the most known Negro ancestry. The followers of Donath, were called Blacks, because they represented the priesthood. The great bell of the cathedral is rung on Holy Thursday, and mothers wait, babies in arm; for the first time the children's eyes are washed at that moment they will never suffer from weak eyes, and that if the children will never be knock-kneed or bow-legged. One of the most picturesque spots in the city is the Frescoed Arno. This bridge, which is over the River Arno, a rapid river which runs thrust the heart of the town, was built in 1810. It is a street, leading to it, are occupied for some distance entirely by jewelry stores, full of watches and beautiful stools. The two leading art galleries are the Bargallo and the Uffizi Palace, both of which contain priceless originals, one of which is Betticelli's. But as to art itself, the persons that seem most interested are the foreigners. And the Florentines can pay more attention to most of the places is about twenty-five cents, which in a country of low wages is equivalent to fifty or sixty cents. The youngest Florentines are also interested in being more interested in dancing, jazz such at it is, and moving pictures than in the staple product (art). But this seems to be the old cry. For the last three centuries, a movement that has been going to the dogs, is it not about time that it arrives? HAMPTON I. LIBRARY STUDENTS ON TOUR HAMPTON INSTITUTE, VA.—Nine graduating students of the Hampton Institute Library School, under the leadership of Florence McCormick, received by Dr. Herbert Putman, librarian of the Library of Congress, at Washington, and were taken to all departments where work behind the scenes in both the library and other technical processes were seen at first hand. The Photosatst Department, managed and handled entirely by Negroes, demonstrated skills in the use of reproducing. At a luncheon given in the National Library by the colored members of the staff, M. Alexander, of the office of the Director of the Library, acted as a judge. After viewing rare editions, the original of the Constitution, and valuable prints held in the Congressional Library, a visit was made to the offices of the Director of the Library, ways of caring for maps and other unusually shaped documents were demonstrated here. Three members of the class will next year have charge of libraries in agricultural The student party was also shown the library of the Miner Normal School by Miss Lula Allen, and that of Howard University where they saw the Moreland Collection on the Negro. The group gathered on the campus of Librarian Edward Williams and Deans Woodward, Holmes, and Slowe. En route to Washington the group visited the library of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, Va. EASTERN SHO' CHAMP ORATOR SELECTED EASTON.

In a high-school in the county, Mr. Layne pointed out, because the children turned out of school at this early age, they were not allowed to be stated, he said, that they did not want their children finishing the seventh grade so young. But it is not clear why they were been reduced that the counties will see the necessity of establishing a high school. Hereofore children aged 18 and were ready to get married.

Phone Mad. 7018 Baltimore Churches Invested $542,000 In Edifices During Last Two Years With A Combined Membership Of About 4,600, Eight Churches Will Carry Annual Obligations Of $51 Per Capita For Next Ten Years FAMOUS STAR REVEALS Page Six If every one of the listed 4,600 members of eight churches, which have taken over obligations for new church edifices during the last two years do their full duty, they will contribute to the "lower right hand corner" of their church bill just about $51 each per year for the next years required to wipe out the obligation. Experienced pastors, however, say that the real work of the church is the maintenance of the listed membership, and figuring on this basis, the faithful few will find about $102 instead in the "lower right hand corner" provided. Correspondence of these churches is wiped out in the next ten years. The per capita obligations may be reduced, of course, from extra efforts, which include concerts, special rallies, and other activities in which church and the general public take part.

Figuring these transactions on the ordinary basis of real estate transfers in Baltimore, they represent appraisals of real estate bonuses yearly. Counting that each of the 4,600 members they represent do their full duty, the interest and carrying charges on these properties are calculated yearly. Allowance, however, must be made for such initial capital as has been put in through the transfer of the property, many of the churches were already carrying obligations this item may reduce the yearly expenses very materially. These investments in churches are added the investments in fraternal buildings. The figures would approach the neighborhood of $700,000 in capital invested upon which interest and carrying charges will be paid during the ten years. Business Activities Compared with this outlay in capital fraternal organization buildings, the group has invested during the same period in productive business enterprise. New Orleans NAAC P.

He had a system all his own, the operator but when he lost he refused to give up his dime.

NAT'L BAPTIST PLANT SCENE OF RACE RIOT National Baptist Concern At Nashville Scene Of Sunday Killing WATCHMAN STOOD OFF OFFICERS TEN HOURS NASHVILLE, TEN N. With more than 60 bullets pumped into his body by officers whom he had stood off for ten hours with a rifle, Jerry Robinson, for twenty years watchman at the National Baptist Publishing Board, was killed here at daybreak Sunday morning. The killing, in which squads of officers used machine guns, was the result of trouble which started Saturday night when Robinson refused to allow an alleged white deputy to enter the place. When the deputy started to force an entrance with a gun, Robinson used a rifle and drove him from the plant several shots were fired by both men. When the deputy returned with assistance to "get" him Robinson barricaded himself and stood them off all night with his rifle, by firing from different points in the building. **Boyd Summond** Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary of the Board and general manager of the plant, was called from his home by officers who are said to have insisted that he heed building an alarm and Robinson. Dr Boyd however, failed to find the barricaded watchmen, and the officers went into camp setting up machine guns about halfway. Two stories of how Robinson met his death Sunday morning have been told. According to parolman Marsherello, he saw a man sitting at a day-break Sunday morning and, having known him for some time, called him to come out. His request, he said, was answered by officers then using machine guns riddled his body as it stood in a door. Officers also testified that when the locker where Robinson kept his effects was searched, a half-gallon jug of corn whiskey was found. Two officers were wounded during the barricade. Henry Allen Boyd, Secretary of the P.A. officers, would give out no statement as to the incidents leading up to the accident.

Hawkins, 1826 Sixth street, D. C., says pastor James E. Willis, of Vermont Ave. Baptist Church invited her to his home for a meeting. BY OBIE McCOLLUM In the musical comedy, "Sons Of Rest In Shiloh," which played the Royal Theatre in week, there are Jules the lead character of the stage in the leading roles. December is Coley Grant, who began his stage career in 1884, played for 20 years, and still does most character portrayals puts a little kick into an occasional dance. June is a dimpled little lady, Louise Williams, who was graduated from Summa High School in New Jersey in the class of 26. Back in 1898 when Anita Patt Brown and her "Troubadours" were winning the commendation with critics, she filled up colonies ones that Mr. Grant was one of the bunch in the bloom of his career. He is said to have been the first stage tutor of Aida Overton Walker. Cakewalk When the cakewalk was popular in America years ago, Grant and Grant introduced the dance in Europe and were valued at the Palace, Lisbon, London, Pietro and Vienna, these are the reveries of the old trouper, scenes of the hey day of himself and his wife and partner. Amosmil treasured possessive programs some faded and advertising sheets picturing him and Mrs. Grant in the shelk and flapper dress a la 1880.

He has been a domain for 43 years he does not blemish any stage decline. His entire manner is dominated by optimism. When he thinks things are going well he used to be and can not measure up to the rigors of the black bottom; he dreams, dreams of days at the Moscow in Russia, or perhaps of times when Europeans paid eighty pounds weekly for a good cakewalk and plantation song Escaped Chorus Role Louise Williams, the clever ingenue of the "Sons of Rest" had school teaching selected as her profession.

The Monday supper show found the "Gang" from the Middle West, and without their scenery and all their costumes. Miss Smith's aggregation would not match much of entertainment, and received scores of laughs and a large measure of applause. The feature of her revue is as much as Mamie Smith, she has surrounded herself with a group of supporting stars. Frances and Hilda Smith lead the choir of the company's presentations, solos and dances. The "Black Bottom" is ably portrayed by Zudora de Gaston, who interprets of a woman with the blues. John Mason is along with his comedy, and is assisted by Eddie Matthews. Their bits have an abundance of what drawn out. It can reasonably be expected that they will reach their credit to himself in the entire suite. Hope Black, former featured dancer with Clarence Muse's "Charleston Dandles," is with the "Gang" dancers of Charlestons. Black is one of the leading younger dancers and only needs to add to his repertoire. The dancers are handled by Herbert Wilkins. Miss Smith appears to be as popular as ever. Her "blues" numbers are the most popular, and predominated the singers of a decade ago. Her "Going Crazy With The Blues" is a likeable and impressive singer. Her "Smith's pianist and musical director." The "Black Diamond" Chorus is composed of Eugenia Bowman. "Baby," Johnson, Ruth Robinson, Marion Brown, and Frederica Phoenix. ROYAL "Southland Revue" There are good laughs and pleasant entertainment at the Royal in the "Southland Revue". For an enlightening color, costumes that are of offence, he bill stands as one of the best of the entire season. The variety runs from the toe dancing of Ehiel Williams to the nuttie of Billy Mitchell. Costumes that are of offence, he bill stands as one of the outstanding features of the show. Billy Mitchell is getting a lion's share of the applause. He presents a costume that is the dance of "Toby", his little dog, which adds his bark to the chorus. His contortion dance and oriental burlesque are among the most brilliant. He presents a costume that is Billy's impersonation of the corporate man are comical and fairly clean, but he detracts by "razing" members of the audience. Jimmy Johnson, a partner, is deserved of credit for clean-cut work in the straight roles. The singing of Ethel Williams was a trifle below par at the Monday night show. She sold her dances to her patrons in a manner which demanded an encore. Miss Williams precisely executed a routine of toe dances which she placed among the leaders in the theater. She danced honors of the ladies go to Cora La Redd. Miss La Redd couples ability and interest in her work in every number that she offers. Her dancing variation of the "Black Bottom". On the bill we find the big genial Tim Moore and Freddie Johnson in a laughable bake off at Scotch House, a very black and looking Scotchman, but nevertheless, a funny one. Unfortunately, some of their humor passes over the theatre patrons, one will get plenty of comment out of the quarter-hour's comedy. Violet Speed is the soubrette and she finishes a natural gift of charm and personality, serene smile and spirit of the audience, feel the spirit of her offerings. The Berry brothers, James and Ananas. These lads are undoubtedly among the most versatile and clever of any actress, and the prototype of the late George Walker; and his brother, James, can favorably compare his antics with many seasoned comedians. With the exception of those he has received, these boys have no limit. The chorus dances are led by the dance team of Campbell and Farrell, who have developed sense of unison work and have a well outlined routine. The chorus is well drilled and includes a series of stage stages. The girls composing the chorus are: Deloris Mitchell, Vioila Wilson, Jenile Simmons, Blanche Brans, Lillian Baitmore, Lillian Williams and Lorraine Hunter.

Matrimonial Tangle There is just one serious fly in the ointment. Mrs. Garvey admitted when asked about her recent divorce and when asked to separate from the Provisional President, and that is that she already has the status of a married woman. With Garvey filling a cross bill, she technically paid the status of his wife, who had failed in the divorce proceedings, and Mrs. Amy Jaques Garvey, whom Garvey married here in Baltimore, still actively upon the scene, the matrimonium of the trio is somewhat tangled.

Gilpin in "TEN NIGHTS IN A BARROOM" Norma Shearer in "UP STAGE" Call Vernon 6016 Comedian Began Chicago "Bee" Joe Simms Arranges Benefit Mississippi Delta F While the Rev. Mr. David Simms, for 25 years pastor of King David Baptist Church, of Vicksburg, Miss., is directing his church workers in the care and relief of flood victims, his son, Joseph, is directing his musical comedy at the Gibson Theatre, in Philadelphia, and arranging a benefit for the sufferers. Simms and Eastern's "Sons of Rest In Shiloh", played the Royal Theatre in Baltimore, last week. The former is a nephew of James F. Hall, former superintendent of Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Back in 1901, Joe was a lad who willingly accepted the opportunity to go to La Grange, Illinois, with his grandmother who became intolerant with the South. From the Illinois high school he drifted into Chicago of the amateur stagecraft that he had gained in "church functions and plays down home." The good father, who was and is a prominent member of the National Baptist Convention: had frowned upon any sort of entertainment, except for the aid of the church, and Joe had not been allowed to publicly demonstrate his dance steps. The first professional work came The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly in a State Street saloon which went under the more elite name of Beer Garden. A performer was allowed to come in, blacken his face, deliver a line of chatter and some buck and collar, and dollar bills every night if he were satisfactory. Joe was satisfactory and found himself with an engagement three years later at the old Pekin Theatre, near 29th street. Among his partners in his career have been Walker Thompson, now owner of the Warner Sweatwear company who has long been associated with big amusements; and Crickett Smith, whose jazz band is now one of the leading musical attractions in Paris, France. He contributed his lyrics to their compositions and arranged the plays he played in the eastern streets. Simms replaced Lyles in the original cast of "Shuffle Along" in 1923 and played with the show for 22 weeks. After making a tour on Keith time, he and Easton began the revival of "Shuffle Along" and recently introduced their latest musical comedy. This old favorite funster has a reputation for doing clean acting and not permitting any obscenity among his players. One of his girl principals is a "very careful" about his actions and his girls." FILM REVIEWS The picture story of Custer's Last Fight and the terrible vengeance of the angry redskin will appear in The Flaming Frontier, which comes to Duncan's store. The play has the hard riding and hard shooting Hoot Gibson as its leading character. The fur of Indians who had long been mistreated by the whites, their plotting, and their killers and the destruction of the crack regiment of U. S. troopers are the swift unfolding scenes. 'Road To Mandalay "Ship me somewheres cast of Suez where the best is like the worst." Rudyard Kipling's great poem and song is vividly pictured in "The Road To Mandalay", which comes to the Lafayette next week, and the best feature of it is that the popular Lon Chaney is starred. The land where white, yellow and blue burns incense of oriental temples, mysterious women and strange religion flit thru the scenes. Evil plottings, heartless riffians and a love theme are among the elements of interest in the ensemble. Colleen Moore has a new type of role and a charming personality in her latest vehicle, "Twinkletoes", which is the leading attraction at the Carey on May 6. In her roles the part of a young woman who tries to follow in the footsteps of her mother as a dancer and her struggles bring about the ill will of gossipy old women and many troubles with her thieving father. The scenes are laid with the background of the London slums. Path-ologist and friend of an unfailing woman are but few of the elements that enter into this screen story. Harry Langdon comes to America seeking a girl whom he knows only through letters and a faded photograph in "The Strong Man" and the Screen Titanic in May 17. The comedian is cast as a Belgian immigrant, who because of his lack of knowledge of English and of American ways, gets into numerous difficulties. Langdon's search for the girl gives him a glimpse of the story, which include New York, a border town and several small towns. In the concer, of the Howard University Glee Club Friday evening before a mammoth audience at Douglass High School, Barrington Guy tenor, was acclaimed as one of the most promising young artists. The Glee Club presented a program varied with brilliant renditions of classics, spirituals and dramatic readings. Harry Smith, Baltimore pianist, Levington Smith and Lester Cavallo's arioso, "Vesti la gubba" in Italian and Scholastic "Eri," was warmly received in their offerings. Mr. Guy's numbers included Leoncavallo's arioso, "Vesti la gubba" in Italian and Scholastic "Eri," was clear his expression brilliant. Mr. Guy has been favorably reviewed by the leading Chicago critics and they are unanimous in praising his dramatical effectiveness. Among the most heartily received numbers were the concert were Victoria's "Ave Maria" in Latin, Protheroe's "Shadow March," and the two humorous choruses: Mofats's "ChiChat" and "But They Didn'T by Rogers." The Glee Club did not receive any instruction from the musicians, who were presented by the Baltimore Federation of Parent-Teachers' Clubs.

SUNDAY Page Ten IN MUSICAL REALMS IN MUSICAL REALMS The Third Annual Spring Festival of music to be presented by 850 pupils at the Lyric Theatre. May 19. is expected to be one of the most brilliant of musical and social events of the season, according to a statement. Adah L. Killen, assistant supervisor of music in colored schools. The patrons this year include Alphians, Ambassadors, Etude, Peerless, Post Office, WBAL Jubilee Singers, Frederick Douglass Orchestra and Coppin Normal School Alumni Orchestra. Baltimore society is expected to attend. The festival has been organized in three groups. The elementary grades will present three features. "Spring": a cycle of song; a boys' chorus; and a cantata with part singing. The second and third groups of the program will include three junior high and three senior high school choruses. The third group will accompany. Their songs will be excerpts from well known light operas. The singers will be directed by Miss Carrie M. Smith of Booker T. Washington Junior High. Mrs. Paul Washington, Mrs. W. Llewellyn, Wilson, who will have charge of the Douglass Junior and Senior groups. The elementary grades and general organization are under the direction of Miss Carrie M. Smith of Booker T. Washington and Miss Ruth B. McAbe, assistant supervisor of music, in then ublic schools. Choir Sings For White Audience The 40-voiced choir of the First Baptist Church of Norfolk, Va., presented a sacred concert Sunday for white patrons only. On many previous occasions they have proved to be a drawing card for fans as many as 50 seats being reserved for them. Only recently the number of white guests was so large that many were unable to get standing room. In Cleveland Carl Diton, noted pianist and composer, will appear in recital at Cleveland. Ohio on May 27. Mr. Diton is being presented by his wife. He adds variety to his programs with vocal numbers. Call Vernon 6016 Philippine Girl At D. C. Music School WASHINGTON.— The Wellington A. Adams studios, 1000 Euclid street, N. W. will present its pupils in their annual May program on the evening of May 19. One of the expected features of the school will be the presentation of Maria Anastasia of the Philippine Islands in a series of the numbered. She will offer a costume rectal of the "Death Scene" and the "Coracha Dance" in Spanish. In connection with the local Fisk University financial drive, the Fisk Jubilee Singers gave a series of impressive spirituals to the regio plan, including Bethel A. M. E. Church, Thursday evening. Their program was as given: "Steal Away," "In a That Morning," "Go Down, Moses," "Crossing the Bar," "Shepard, My Secret," "Show Me The Way," "Run, Run, Run," "Lord, I Have Done," "Lil Lize, I Lub You." "You Better Mind," "Swing Low." STAR Enlivening its picture bill with four acts of spicy vaudeville, the Star is drawing large sized crowds this week and sending out pleased patrons. The stage performance opens with a song and dance act by Ragland and Reynolds. These girls are old figures on the circuit and can be depended upon to always show style and step in their dances. Billie and Wille Mae, lately billed with Travis Tucker's revue, have a little entertaining skit. Billy is depicting a bellboy who has a few more troubles than he has the maid and Wille Mae is the maid who does more dancing than dusting. They have their chatter well outlined and Billy sings a sentimental song that you will hum for several weeks. Leroy ad Evon, who find it impossible to even look like small time troupers offer the music, repertoire, comedy and song bits. This pair presents no dancing but keeps to a strict policy of chatter and pappy songs. Fisk Singers Sing Now as to the show business I regret to say that this was a bad year for promoters and theatre owners as well. I don't believe that one per cent of the theaters made a dime. I know several promoters that lost lots of money. One of them was big colored shows "7-11, 'Lucky Suco' and "4-11-44" have cut their shows down and are now playing colored time. Just what the coming season will bring forth is not known, but unless there are several changes in show business in general the outlook is bad. It is up to the producer to offer something new and attractive and a nice price for the light price. If the light price is not answer I will say "WES," but salaries must be cut, the number of rail road tickets must be less. So how can we do it? Here we are get fewer principals, pay them more salary. The same applies to chorus girls; then you will see better attractions. And a cut in the salary list also the rail road fare affects the same effect those who are competent but it will throw a few actors out of work, and some of them should be thrown out—the sooner the better. Professionals Complain Complaints of mistreatment by producers and theatre managers have been numerous this week. One chorus girl, Elise Ferebee writes that the was deserted by Bessie Smith after becoming ill, and declares that she can furnish 500 signatures of persons who write ill, the gallantly written paper, published in the theatrical correspondence of this week and Miss Smith is invited to give her version thru these columns. In Baltimore one act Rose and Fraverse were thrown out at the Regent and a company Baker and Baker was cancelled at the matrimonial lowing of the matrimony. One older defends his stand by saying that the act was not well executed. The other maintains that the com- The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly We will announce the feature picture for this performance later. An admission of 25 cents will be charged and the entire proceeds will be given to the Red Cross for the Flood Sufferers. The theatre, and all of its employees are donating free service for this worthy cause. Red Cross Workers will be in attendance. This is a wonderful opportunity to help in this urgent hour of need. DUD'S DOPE By S. H. DUDLEY pany substituted indecency for act ing Unfortunately, the theatrical profession has a few members who are their own secretaries. But with all that it is the mirror of its patrons. Brown And Marguerite Rest Brown and Marguerite, team dancers who have won acclaim in every stage appearance during the past few years, are resting in Atlantic City preparatory to beginning an engagement at the Paradise Cafe of that resort town. The pair represent a peak in grace and finesse of performance. Their career is one of the brilliant after troups might fashion their efforts. Brown and Marguerite "got that way" by working more than the producer required of them and having a goal in view. Musicians Fare Forth Last week was one of the most musical in Baltimore's recent history. Following in the wake of the Williams Singers and an artistic group of Baltimore youth, came Fisk Jubilee Singers. Howard Glee Club and Georgia Warner was a celebrated band so cordial and brilliant that one is inclined to think that the monument city is ready to honor her artists. The Morgan College Orchestra, which was organized only a few months ago has become an enjoyable ensemble following a period of study and practice. One group hopes it will be the group is that it is directed by students. Robert Jackson, young Baltimore cornetist, is co-director with Miss Frances Berry, a talented pianist and accompanist from Lynchburg, Va. Two Records By W. Va. NEW YORK. (PNS.)—The Brunswick Company has just released two records by the West Virginia College Glee Club.

To the oldtimers who remembei when the college students could al be crowded into one little pigeor bole while the knowledge seeker: rather sarcastically referred 0 a “Preps” by the upper classmen ‘spread all over the place, the an- nouncement brings a slight pang of regret, something: like a kid {cel when they take away the dog he has learned to love. The oldtimers probably remembe: when the hatred of the Balkans was mother love compared to the utte contempt with which college mer looked on “prep” and vice versa Those were the days when a collese prom, to which the preps were not invited meant a fight to the death Those were the days when a prep thought it his sacred right to swipe the icecream at every fraternity party and his sacred uy to blow the fuses in the middle of every col- lege social. ‘Athletic Rivalry | ‘Those were the days that * the teams of the two departments were willing to lose every Rame to every other school during the year just so they beat each other at the end of the year. And the side that won the game could expect a visit from the losers to their dormitory late al night, so instead of sleeping in thei pajamas they would go to bed in their fighting togs. ‘The collegians were the aristocracy while the ree to were the common people. The former enjoyed the privilege of leaving the campus without asking the disciplinarian They could cut chapel with immun- ity. They could stroll on the cam- pus with their girl friends, All of these good things were denied the lowly "prep. Every academic student dreamed of the time when he could reach these heights. When he too could wear a cap, a gown and a fraternity pin. Romance Gone With the academy there it was possible for a student to leave the eight grade back home and pass from one degree of alleged, intelli gence to another without leaving the campus for eight years. With the academy gone there goes romance. of having someone to look down on or look up to: the romance of hav- ing somebody to despise whoie- heartedly either because they are above you or below voit: the romance of warfare, warfare that is enjoy- able whether you lick or get licked. just so long as vou are fighting some- one who thinks they are better than you or think they are as good as you. The college folk added the dignity but. it was the “preps” who contributed that boisterousness and spontaneity that makes college life worth living. College men looked up- on a “prep” as a sort of barbarous creature that night be taught. the ways of civilization after, his sopho- more year and the “prep” looked on the college man as a rather sophis- ‘icated. overbearing. stupid biped who thought studying was more im- nortant than raisine cain.

Assistant Superintendent Telf- Schoolmasters H Just Needs Guidance "The spirit and instincts which make boys fight is not a wrong one, but just one that needs guiding in the right direction." declared Prof. Eugene A. Clarke, associate professor of Washington, D.C. his peaking on "Character Education" at the School Masters' Club. Saturday evening, The character element, declared the spearhead of 70% of the child's life, while the educational element makes up 30%. The average observer is likely to understand many actions in child life unless they are able to understand the educational education. The student should always be to develop the individual up to the point that he feels that there is something he wishes to do, that he wishes to retain, that he wishes to acquire. The natural tendency of the child for direct action whether it is expressed in fighting or not is merely one to be guided rather than suppressed. develop the ability to understand things that are right and others that are wrong. Assistant Superintendent Clarke was accompanied by Prof. J. Nathan Burrell, principal of the School, and Prof. G. Smith Wormlein, principal of Randall Junior High School, and Prof. J. L.

Glee Club Scores Triumph In Philadelphia BY FLOSSIE E. WHITE In a concert under the direction of the Philharmonic Club of Philadelphia held in the Fashion Hall, the Post Office Glee Club, well-known musical aggregation scored a big trumpet before a crowded audience. Mr. Flossié programed the opening with the singing of the "Negro National Anthem with 'Twilight' as second to it. The audience responded with applause. Next came the solo of Mr. Braile H. Mason, who was at the best. Then the Miserere Chorus from the Philadelphia Orchestra took Scott was next in the Baritone solo—"West of the Great Divide," to which the audience responded with such applause the choir was given. Scott's voice was clear and he brought out his tones with ease and grace. Then he was next sang by the Club, Mr. Clarence Thomas gave a declaration which was very well rendered and judging from the applause received the audience was pleased. Mr. G. Bernard Young came next in a tenor solo, in which the clear even tones of his voice seemed to float over the audience. There was a double quartet, that Render To A Martial Artist. The martial air was next sun by the club closing the first part of the program. After the intermission, "Drinking Song" (student Prince) opened the second half of the program. He played a bass solo, the rich tones of his voice provoked much appalause and he was recalled for an encore. The Pillars of the Earth was very pleasing to the vast audience in this number the chorus excelled all former renditions. A quartet rendered "When the Bell in the Hearth" and the number one could imagine they were hearing the ringing of the various tones of bells. Mr. Clarence Thomas gave another declaenation it was so well rendered he was recalled several times, rendering some readings in a humorous vein. "Homeland" (Louis OX) came in for its more of a musical rendition. Mr. Clarence rendered "Where d'er you walk" and some spirituals, by Harry T. Burleigh, the very pleasing manner also the well rendition of the soles won the audience several times. The program closed with the "Soldier Chorus" from Faust. By request the club rendered "Everytime I feel the Spirit." After that Mr. Keen's Orchestra furnished the music for the dance and reception. Judging from the favorable expressions, Philadelphia was the best Club so much so that a return engagement in the near future is being arranged. 2 COUNCILMEN MAY HOLD A WHIP HAND Close Vote In City Body Gives Race Members Strategic Position REPUBLICANS MAY GAIN GROUP CONTROL Rumored Deals Whereby Broening May Have Free Hand In Government With the Republicans and Democrats almost equally divided in the one Branch City Council, the strategic position of the two race members from the Fourth District has been the topic of discussion in political circles this week.

First, a serious primary which menaced Republican success. All effort to avoid a primary proved unsuccessful. Second, was William H. Fitzsander, who was early advised that his closeness to certain democrats had united all republican leaders against him, helped the success of his chances and to his credit, withdrew. This left seven in the field, Howard Payne, Dr. White, Abigail Boll, Ellison Bob, and Bob Oler. Oler never had a chance, being unknown to the voters.

He made excellent connections in other parts of the District and was endorsed by several prominent organizations, the he was never the choice of the for- "Bob" Young came in the fight too late and lost valuable support he would have received had not Dr. White been an early contender. Those behind McGuinn and Ellison were divided as to White and Young, some being linked with one, others with the other. I was with Young. The fight then was among Ellison, McGuinn, Emerson and Young. Payne, Oler and White were dark horses. White with an outsider's chance. Young lost considerable votes by the White candidacy and lost by less than a hundred votes. Ellison, McGuinn and Emerson became the republican candidates and our forces wholeheartedly combined behind them and for Mayor Broening and his running mates. The opposition of the lawyers, doctors and preachers disturbed us not in the Conference after conference was had. All differences were adjusted. There was never any talk of voting for two Republican candidates and one Democratic for every Redstone. So, for the first time since the gerrymander directed by Curran, the district went solidly republican and we have three first class in the Councilman's district.

Another who deserves credit is Walter the beginning of the campaign insisting on putting two colored men on the ticket for Councilmen. Most other leaders in the district were willing to compromise on two white men The result is a wonderful victory for the republican party, and we have been well paid for our hard work. We would say to our colored democratic friends who believe they have so much influence with the democratic party, that they use it influence by having the Democratic patrons purchase their tickets and have Democratic colored judges and clerks in the 4th District.

Not Christianity But The Churches According to some friends of mine, small-south Baltimoreans were disfigured at my nerve in asking, "Why not tear down some of the churches. One need has been coming over, but as not gotten here yet) to see that I oughtn't write such诗. She also declares that an eminent daim said, and as a fidle if that is true, and I doubt it, that is still another reason for tearing some of the churches. There will be many less places for him to display his ignorance. There will be always believed, and the who knows the true faith or rejects the Christian religion, in my article, that would lead any sensible person to believe that I rejected the Christian religion. This could not be, for never before in life have I realized as fairly as I do now, the wonderful truth of religion, especially as taught by Jesus of Nazareth, and because I do realize then I am more and more convinced that many edithies and many edithies will never bring one to the place where he realizes God as Father. Over all in all and An Omni-Loving Father I could never lack in God when I look around and see how he gives his benefits to all and sunshine. How he lets people that comfort and I would like to see remove from their places, because we are all apparently proper. Only an Omnious Father could tolerate some of the miseries and crimes done in His name. Only a Divine Intelligence could move serenely on oceans, uninterrupted and unimpeded to bring him to the face of man's efforts to do his worst. Limited human patience would have save held half of the sins that who for years have taught us that痛 and sorrow and woe were that pain from God. instead of that we are ourselves, through our faith to keep in contact with the eternal Good, have brought these con- counselors. Some never think me an infidel, but I never accuse God of bringing miscreant on any creature. I can see him as Eternal Goodness. Yet I have heard supposedly rated and trained ministers will congratulate those that trouble were seized from God, when His mercy had been traced to wryness, and in the breath quote "His mercy is as bawless as the sea." Hundreds of saxe and fear, driven from a leafless Father, by fear of an angry God. I know there is a god. He keeps these saddlers living. I do not preach Christ nor Christian. I plead for a recognition of tan America—in Baltimore. Not Christianity. But Religion Many people do not know that in especially heathen countries, right now our missionaries are being re- quested and asked to leave those coun- tries. With the wisdom of our an- cient races, the so-called heathen are saintly. And we love Christ, but you do not Christian lives. It is dominion they reject but denomin- ation religion. Religion as prac- ticed in American churches, these heathen say, "The dollar sign follows the cross." Well do we in Baltimore know it. And the money they do for the churches The less business-like their admin- istration Show me any large depar- tment since in town doing a weekly credit business, that takes more than ten minutes to find your little fifty but some of the large churches in Baltimore can't tell who he is pains his dies. If they keep books they are not posted for weeks, at Lack Business Show me any man in business earning $3 a month who doesn't put in eight hours every day of productive work. Some of our Baltimore ministers do set that much and don't even visit their sick. Their affairs are handled in such a muddled way that every year when their Correspondents are about to convene, they have to semilate to meet their obligations. The large business houses have no meetings, choirs, orchestras, social gatherings to promote friendliness and cooperation among their employees. The larger the Church the less participation the members are allowed. Trained and paid choirs are the smiling and should some older cases dress a bill in the stilted proceeding.

BAXTER, Chairman of Board Lives Of Founders Department stores and banks trace their growth from their foundation and recite the history of their owners or Presidents. Protestant Churches do not teach their young people the lives of their founders and the marvelous sacrifices these men made to establish the churches which we enjoy today. Indeed in East Belfast, find very few children who know what we celebrate Christmas and Easter. I'll wager you will have to look far to find a Methodist child who can tell you who Payne, Allen and Ashbury were. I was brought up in church. Have stayed in church all night. Have risen at dawn to attend early services. Have gone to class week after week. Have people get up in class and give in their "testimonies." Some of them have said that they have been Christians for twenty and thirty years. Yet every week they say "I am an unprofitable servant. Week after week, I lengthen the brittle threads of their unprofitable lives and bid their golden moments roll on." Show me any business where an unprofitable servant would be tolerated for twenty years. And some of them are telling the church they haven't bwn a bit more loving, a charitable or devoted time, at a sacrifice, to God's work in all those years. They have gone to church for pomp and power and the churches ought to be taken away so that plains can no longer use them as plains for their petty plans and schemes. Healing Power Some ministers have told me that the church will never fail. I know that it won't. It is founded on the eternal truths of Love, but there are so many factions in the church we are now calling the church of God. I asked a minister last week why Healing Power had left the church as it was one of the first activities of Jesus. He changed the church to a palatial Church of America, is trying to revive that power in their ministers. These men are all well-educated and have studied for years. It would mean a great deal to Christianity if they were to stick person and with a sincere prayer, heal him. Most of the ministers I know, jump into bed as soon as a pain hits them and not even a brother minister is called first. They want the best medical skill they can No Quarrel No, I have no quarrel with Christianity. It is still the hope of the world, but I suppose I shall always be though queer because I ask these questions. All of which can be summed up in one. "Why not live not our conception of Christianity?" There is nothing the matter with Christianity. Nothing wrong with the fundamentals of church law as I see them, but copy the Discipline of the M. E. Church. (My pastor not leader had ever explained it to me or even shown it.) I was amazed at the clear pure principles set forth in that book. Principles first promulgated by illiterate men under divine instruction. Showing the real power of God. What we need today is a return to the old beliefs and doctrines.

NEW YORK—The Viving Press, Publishers, of the "Viving Place, an announcement of," God's Trombones," a book of Necro sermons in verse by James Weldon Johnson. Secretary of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, has just been published. The seven poems are entitled "The Go Down Death," Prodredt's "The Go Down Death," Built The Ark," The Crucifixion,"Let My People Go," and the Judgment Day." The old-time Negro preacher has not yet been given the niche in which he properly belongs. He is a semi-comic figure, portrayed as a semi-comic figure. He had, it is true, his comic aspects, but on the whole he was an important figure, and at bottom a vital factor. It was through him that the people of the country and cusiners were brought here diverse parts of Africa and thrown into slavery were given their first sense of unity and solidarity. He was the first shepherd of this bewildered foetus. He is illustrated with 8 drawings by Aaron Douglas. 1316 AMENDMENTS In the last thirty-six years 1316 proposed amendments to the constitution have been introduced in congress.

The Pathfinder The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly Best Of The Bargain A Story Of Colored Doughboys In War Time France BY CLIFFORD L. MILLER To know how to speak English, order. She wondered what had gone fluently enough to cater to American trade, was Suzanne's ambition when she conceived of the idea of opening a restaurant. As luck would have it, the first American to be detailed for duty, who had the opportunity to assist her with her English was black American who proceeded him by means of the sign language, the understanding of exchanging object lessons, by means of which both would derive good working knowledge of each others tongue. The mademoiselle, taking a potato, said, "Pomme de terre." Later, responded the gibb-tongued Gordon. "Je laisse tomber le pomme de terre," pursued earnestly the potato to lady, as she allowed the potato to fall from her hands to the earth. "I drap de later," said Gordon. "Deed does." Again, potato from the earth Suzanne continued. "Je leve le pomme de terre." The soldier shot at her a look of utter surprise and asked, "Have you ever lived in South Carolina?" But Gordon who taught me English is from South Carolina. "Ah!" replied he. "that explain why you speak English dialect and not English." Dumbbounded was she by the orange revelation of events. A thief in precious hours spent for naught. She had given Gordon no arrogant but the pure Parisian French Gordon never at lost in apprehending the sign language said, "I tote de tater." Suzanne found herself strangely enough launching out into the deeps of English, surprised that the language used so fishish and guttural was sweet and mellow. Gordon took to the French as a duck to water. The leisure moments of these serious minded young people were used profitably enough. When Gordon was ordered elsewhere, fortunately Suzanne now had the assurance to make her business venture, speaking English, bright green in place she opened with bright cheery girl in herself acting as waitress. As a soldier of the Yankee Division on the opening day passed by, the sign "English Spoken" caught his eyes and his feet obedient to his will landed him in this restaurant. A smile greeted his entrance. "Bring me the meat, fried potatoes, bread and coffee," he said. Suzanne stood as one deaf.

Poem This Week "SELFISH LIVES" We go our ways in life too much alone. We hold ourselves too far from all our kind; Too often to the weak and helpless moan, Too often to the weak and hipless blind; Too often, where distress and want abide; We tide and pas upon the other side. The other side is trodden smooth and worn. By footsteps passing idly all the day; Where lie the bruised ones that faint and murmur Is seldom more than an untrudden way. Our selfish hearts are for our feet the guide- They fly by upon the other side. They should be ours the oil and wine to pour Into the bleeding wounds of stricken ones; To take the smitten and the sick and go And bear them where a stream of blessin runs. Instead we look upon the other side. Oh, friend and brothers, gliding down the tears Humanity calling each and all in tender accents, born of grief and tears; I pray you listen tothe thrilling call! You cannot in your cold and selfish pride, Pass, guiltless, by upon the other side. Weekly Lessons In English Word Often Misused Don't say "I do not know if she is coming."

The injunction asks that the pastor be restrained from interfering with the church and that the two banks be restrained from recognizing any new banking committees appointed at the meeting of the church. At the trial Wednesday George Myers, who was the first on the bench,ness stand declared that had been summary evidenced from the deacon beaten, while he lay ill in his home. He was followed by Walter Powers who declared that the charter gave deacons a life tenure in office during good behavior and that he had been secretary of the board from 1906 to the present. GROUND CALLED DOWN The small court room was crowded with persons, mostly members of the church. Among the audience was the Rev. A. J. Payne. When the case first opened, litters from the audience brought sharp criticism from Judge Stan- There will be no hilarity during this case. This is no moving picture," he said. "It is shameful that you think the Chinese have to bring their disagreements into the court at all. In case you do, we will treat this matter with all seriousness. There will be no comments on my statement," said I. from the crowd. The Rev. Greene is represented by George Evans and Warner T. McGuinn, attorneys and the trustees by W. Ashbie Hawkins.

Deacon Miller Testifies Deacon Miller admitted in his testimony that while he received copy of the bulletin personally, he had been shown one in which the business meeting was announced. According to the deacon, while he is able to visit and perform other duties, he is unable to attend the business meetings and while absent from one of these meetings he was outfitted On Banking Committee When questioned concerning his position on the banking committee, Deacon Miller was unable to give information concerning funds deposited by the church in the Equitable Trust, Christ of the Sacred Heart, when his duties were on the committee, other than he was to sign when funds were to be withdrawn. He was appointed to this committee, he testified during the pastoral period in 1866 during which year he was also appointed to the deacon board. Pastor Autocratic? In an effort to show that the pastor was autocratic, Deacon Miller testified, that on one occasion the pastor wished the services be changed from 130 a. to 100 a. This time he dressed down by the deacons by the time was changed anyway by the pastor. Later, he said, this ruling caused dissention among the church memos to vote for the change to thebers and the pastor asked the deacformer time which they refused to 250 Paid-up Members According to the deacon, while he are 250 financial members of the church and a floating congregation of about 4,000. Say Pastor Charged Full Fare Deacon Brooks, when called to the stand declared, that the main bone of contention between the deacon board and the pastor, was over financial matters. Rev. Mr. Greene, he said, filed expense accounts for a trip to St. Louis, Chicago and New York, for full traveling rates when an investigation showed that he had ridden on clerical rates. A more thorough probe of the pastor's activities was under way by the deacon board under the direction of the pastor, when they were ousted he stated. Clerical rates are said to be one-half the regular fare. The $500 Deacon Miller alsostetified that he thinks the pastor had ulcerative motives to put him off the board because he used similar methods to obtain $500 he wanted on a previous occasion. Deacon Brooks testified that no deacon had been dismissed in the past eleven years and only one Mr. Powell had resigned. THE AUTONOBILE Mr. Brooks said 'The Pastors' Aid had decided to purchase the pastor over the objections of the deacons. This had led to friction he said. Eight other deacons are yet to be called before Pastor Greene takes the stand. Conos adjourned at 4 p. m. to meet at 0 a. m. Friday. Deacon Brooks will probably be called again to take the stand. --- GET OUR PRICES TODAY—ESTIMATES FREE WE EMPLOY ONLY EXPERT ROOFERS OUR ASHPALT BUILT-UP are guaranteed for 10 years ROOFS SUBURBAN AND COUNTRY WORK SOLICITED Just drop us a card or call and we will send a man to examine your roof and give you an estimate. 25 YEARS' EXPERIENCE THE HOUSE FOR A SQUARE DEAL WATERMELONS IN SEASON A SPECIALTY 11 E.

STUDENTS RAISE $1,300 IN DRIVE Chairman Is Optimistic About Organization's Completing $2,000 Quota Swinging into the final week of its drive, the Morgan College student crusade organization reported funds of nearly $1,300 at the Wednesday assembly. The organization has been engaged in a six-week drive for $2,000 and is now in the process of in which $100,000 is being raised before June. The school is paying off a debt of $50,000 and matching a gift of $50,000 from the General Education Board. The general total of the student organization stood at $1,268.00, according to the announcement of Leroy Griffin, chairman. The midyear freshman class which was begun at the college in January and has no officers, leads the classes at $300,000. With East of the English department, has raised more than $300 in the drive. When interviewed Wednesday concerning the outlook for completing the college, I was asked a way in which the students and teachers have responded as a whole makes one almost confident that they will go over the top. Some, however, did not. I asked the drive end short on May 16 we shall immediately begin a new drive in order to complete our work before the general crusade ends June 1. I asked the drive end aside as a special pilgrimage day for a general report for the Morgan College drive. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the total amounts will be shown upon the screen in the computer. Friends of the institution are invited. An appeal sent out to white friends asks, them to contribute $50,000.

If the rear is brought to a complete stop, the wheels are turned to one side as far as possible, and the car backed, the wheels will easily mount the sides of the ruts without the least strain. How To Make A Long Spout Oil Can Take an ordinary oil can, taste a cork over end of the spout, not to obstruct the opening, then suck a cork of desired length into the cork, directly below the spout opening. The oil will flow along the wire to the farther end. Or Bolt Next time an unusually tight nut or bolt is encountered, try placing two wrenches on it instead of one the handles in a V position. Then pull jointly on both wrenches. This distributes the pressure over several faces of the nut or bolt and the jaws of the wrenches. Body Squeaks A mixture of kerosene and lubricating oil, forced between the body crevices with a squirt gun or a brush, will overcome body squash. Rocking the crevice oil will mix to penetrate. Of course it is necessary to see that all bolts are tight. Another excellent remedy is to loosen the body of bolts, then back them up with grease. The grease tightens and prevents the bolts when tightening and prevent many squeaks from this source. Use Of Graphite A thick paste of flake graphite and oil, applied to the spark plug threads when inserting them in the motor will make them easy to remove, and is also recommended to use on any bolts and studs which are subjected to considerable heat. Heat Expands And Cold Contract3 Don't exert much strength in screwing a spark plug so tightly into a hot motor. When engine cools the cylinder metal will contract, making it extremely difficult to remove the plug when necessary.

The lack of interest shown in all branches of the Health Week program was also felt in this endeavor. Of 200 announcements and invitations sent to mothers all over the city only 21 entered their young hopefuls in the contests were Doris Green, age 5 months, 1015 Madison avenue, first prize; Mary E. Breckenridge, age 15 months, Roslyn, Md., second prize; and Lois Branch, age 2 years, 1206 Myrtle avenue, third prize. The babies were examined by three physicists and rated the ones that received the highest average was chosen as winner. The first prize was $10 donated by the Home Friendly Life Insurance Company, the second was a life size colored doll given by the Bishop Manufacturing Company, and the third was a silver baby set given by the Bishop Manufacturing Company. The following were members of the committee: Mrs. J. G. McRae, Misses Hazel Macbeth, Lois Macbeth, Elmira, Tibbs, and Mae Grooms. Dr. Chasson Installs Modern Equipment Doubtless taking his cue from the slogan that is now widely advertised of "Patronizing your neighborhood store", Dr. D. M. Chasson, well known optometrist of 1540 Pennsylvania avenue has recently installed a very high class as well as expensive equipment for his patrons. It seems to be Dr. Chasson's firm opinion that if up-town patrons are given the same service and the expert attention in their neighborhood shops as they are in the big down town stores they would much prefer to save time and car fare by prioritizing the needs of their customers in support of this belief he has continued to improve his equipment until it is now on a par with any in the city. A little more of this progressive spirit could well be taken up by other Pennsylvania avenue merchants who find their trade drifting to the downtown stores.

Where no farewell tears are sheer. Sacred to the memory of my devoted husband, Joseph T. Porter, who departed this life one year ago. May 11, 1926.

He who brot me so much sunshine, Cheerer by heart thru darkest days, Making earth seem like a heaven, B this many loving ways. There's grief that can't find comfort, There are wounds that can't be healed; That can never be revealed. Sorrows down deep in my heart. Rest in peace, dear Joseph. One year has passed away; You are gone, but not forgotten. For I think of you each day. TOLSON—in loving memory of my dear SOLARA, LATURA V., who departed this life eleven years ago, May 19, 1916.

Monroe and Laurens St. Madison 0529 Page Nineteen "Monkey Business" Attracts Folk To Stare At Animals People Who Look Most Make Fewest Purchases And All Classes Are Drawn To Windows One of the slang expressions of today is "Darwin was right," which refers to Darwin's theory of evolution and man's relation to the monkey. I do not know whether Darwin was right or not, but I am certain of the attraction that the longtailed race holds for people. One needs only to pass a pet store, the organ grinder or the zoo, and there he finds the starling humans and the poor man's wondering what it is all about. On North Eutau street where there are two pet stores one can always find eight or ten persons who have yielded to the irresistible lure of their 10,000th cousins These stores carry stocks birds, dogs, goldfish and various other pets, but gaze as jungle gentlemen in the public raze as jungle gentlemen. Records show that monkeys grow in lesser proportion than the other animals. The gazers are seldom the buyers. One does not "monkey around" when he wants to buy a pet. Among those who are held by the appeal of the monkey may be found the high born and the poorest citizen, and strange to say, children are not as much in need of assistance as necessary that mischievous little animals be awake, even a sleeping monkey has its attraction. Seeks Brother Mrs. Gertrude McRae of 448 Mother avenue, Monessen, Pa., has asked the APRO to help her locate her brother, Luther Jones.

Taking The Starch Out Of Banking A bank is simply a "money store" and there is no more reason for excess dignity in a money store than there is in a grocery store or in a clothing store. At the Old Town National Bank banking si conducted without stiffness and without excess dignity. Here you are not merely a number on the bank's ledger; you are a valued customer, personally recognized by the Bank's officers. Here, too, you may expect friendly personal service—financial advice if you desire it—cordiality always.

Baltimore Pastors Glorify Mothers In Sunday Sermons Mother and motherhood were glorified in sermons by local pastors Sunday. Without exception, both sermons and music in practically all of the churches were directed to Mother's Day. The high spots in some of the sermons preached and gleaned by AFRO-AMERICAN reporters were as follows: Rev. C. E. Stewart, newly appointed pastor of Trinity A. M. E. Church: "The Negro woman is capable of becoming the best mother the world has ever known if they will follow the great example set by the brown-skinned Queen of Sheba and Solomon, the man of wisdom and prudence". **Union** The Rev. David Over. pastor of Union Baptist Church: "Women with domestic worries should emulate the heathen woman who made her daughter's troubles her own doggie for Jesus Christ. He is the greatest counsellor in domestic and paternal troubles." The Rev. E. S. Williams, pastor Metropolitan M. E. Church: "There is no love like a mother's love; if they are alive we owe it to them to live noble lives and cheer their hearts; perchance they need we should live to honor their memory their sacrifice and suffering in our behalf." Grace The Rev. T. T. Colbert, pastor Grace Presbyterian Church: "With the Sabbath being openly attacked by big organized forces; with Sun- day baseball, gambling, dancing and other amusements threatening the home. Mothers of 1927 have greater problems than the children of the dead and therefore must rise to a higher sense of efficiency and duty." Union Wesley The Rev. D. L. Miller, pastor C. M. E: "Keep the commandments of the Thather; forsake not the gifts of the Father; give the givers of life, physically, socially, morally, intellectually and spiritually." The Rev. R. A. Green, pastor of Allen A. M. E. Church; "Unfortunately many present day mothers are taking license for liberty." Bethel The Rev. Harold C. Stepteau, pastor Bethel A. M. E.

Sharp Street The Rev. W. A. English, pastor Sharp Street M. E. Church: "Sie is a mistaken mother who thinks she can go the way of the smart set and that her sons and daughters will go the way of God and the church. I can understand in a measure how some men forsake God and live worldly lives; but the saddest thing in our civilization today is a Godless. Christless mother with little children playing around her home." Mother's Day Mother's Day was first instituted by Miss Anna Javis, of Philadelphia and made a national day of observance on May 10. 1913. when the House of Representatives passed a resolution recommending it be observed by the House.

Mr. William Brown, 511 Welcome St. Many of us loose lots of time, and money and almost life itself trying to do with ordinary things when the extra-ordinary is what we need. This was the case with Mr. William Brown of 511 Welcome street in this city. He had been trying to get back his health and strength with the hundred and one "ordinary" "tonies" with which the druggists are flooded until he had become disgusted and was almost of the opinion that all patent medicine were no good, and the advertisements of them just a lot of fun. A friend persuaded him to try one bottle of LEM-COD. Well you that we were going to say he felt better on the first dose. But we know better than to try to pull that kind of stuff. But Mr. Brown does declare that he was a whole heap better after taking the first bottle and he is now on the third one and he is piping to the world that LEM-COD is his best friend and from now on no more of those ordinary tonies will for him—it's LEM-COD or notning.

HOPKINS' NURSE SAYS SHE KNEW MAN'S VOICE Thomas Johnson Was Accused Of Entering Bed Room Of Young Woman WAS ARRESTED AS A SUSPECT BUT IS FREED Judge Ullman Rules That Tone Of Voice Not Sufficient Identity The ruling that mere tone of voice was not sufficient evidence upon which to base the serious crime of attempted rape made in Criminal Court by Judge Ullman probably saved Thomas Johnson, accused of entering the room of a Hopkins nurse, from a long sentence in the penitentiary Monday. Johnson was accused by Miss Ruth Helen Brister, a white, nurse in the John Hopkins Hospital, who declared that on the night of April 10, she was awakened in the nurses' home on Broadway to find a man sitting on the floor. The man seized her by the throat and threatened her if she made an outcry. When the noise attracted the attention of people in other parts of the house, he dashed from the room before accomplishing his intentions. AFTER She indicated that she could not see his face because of the darkness of the room but got a glimpse of his back as he dashed out the door through the hall. In the station-house where he had been arrested, she is said to have picked him out of several men by his voice. Johnson was arrested on his occurrences having entered a house home away several months ago. At that time he was charged with robbery after he had made his way to another bedroom. He was acquitted on the plea of Attorney J. Stewart Davis, who was appointed by the state to defend him. Mr. Davies contested the finality of the indictation. Judge J. Davies, the Judge, was not sufficient identification in so serious a case in which the man's life was at stake. ATTENTION!
