Coolidge Asked To Aid MAKE WIFE LEAD LYNCHERS TO HUBBY HIDING MACON, MISS., (ANP) — A mob of some 200 white men "overpowered" the officers who had arrested Dan Anderson for killing Tom Edwards, a white man, near here, and killed the prisoner's body with bullets. More than a hundred shots were fired into Anderson's body by the mob in order to be sure that the nigger who dared to kill a white man was dead. Anderson is alleged to have killed Edwards when the white man, who is an over-seer on his father's plantation, sought to restrain him by force from leaving the area. The man from Anderson was planning to move his family North, and Edwards went to Anderson's home and threatened violence. Seeing that his life was in danger, Anderson shot Edwards, fatally wounding the man of a white man so aroused the Mississippiians that a mob formed immediately to "help the officers." The county was scoured but Anderson could not be found. The mob, then, is alleged to have killed Anderson and treated his wife until she disclosed the hiding place of her husband.

Capital Broadcast By MARY CHURCH TERRELL Every now and then something happens in the National Capital which must give the demon of race prejudice a pain in his side. He certainly got a slap in the face not long ago. For, if a visitor had gone into the ball room of the New Willard Hotel, (one of the finest here) he would have seen both white and colored women attending what was called a public meeting which was conducted by the League of Republican Women. It was a most unusual sight for Washington, D. C., where racial lines are strictly drawn, as a rule. Several years ago notices were sent out that this league would hold a meeting at the last minute plans were hastily changed and those who had registered as pupils were directed to go to the New Willard. Folks who claimed to know why this change was made say that when the manager of the hotel the helpless was first advertised to the hold learned that a few colored women had been admitted as pupils, he absolutely refused to agree to this unheard of affront to his regular patrons, so the contract was canceled immediately. No Friction But in the school at the New Willard there was no friction whatever between the colored and white women, and the slight evidence that colored women were not welcome. About ten colored women were registered, paid the tuition fee of $5 and enjoyed all the privileges of the "School". And indeed it was a school in every sense of the word. In the first place it was sponsored by the anime women of the Capital among these were the the Secretaries of War, Navy, Agriculture, Commerce and the Postmaster General, as well as the wives of judges, representatives and senators. The most interesting subjects pertaining to the government were discussed by experts in the afternoon and evening.

In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Reed says that in January 1923, she was confined in the hospital, unable to work and with very little money. Miss Simpson came to her, she states, representing herself to be actuated solely by reason of her natural love and affection for her aunt, and entreated her to convey to her the remainder in fee of her property at No. 1614 11th Street, northwest, dependent on her.

MONUMENT PLANNED FOR LINK JOHNSON Societies To Visit Grave On Decoration Day WASHINGTON, D. C., (PNS). Mrs. George S. Williams, of Savannah, Ga., is working to erect a monument to the late Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson. The monument is to be an honorary memorial to the Harmony Gemetery, near the entrance. A few weeks ago, Hon. Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., placed a floral token of love and respect on the grave of this hero and friend. Following that a party of Elks, headed by Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, marched to this same location, placed a floral token, after which a photograph was taken of the assembled group. The Henry Lincoln Johnson Relief Association will visit the grave on May 30th, place a floral token in the grave, and this early program was inaugurated last May. During her visit to Washington last week, Mrs. Williams, led a delegation of prominent women to aid and placed a beautiful floral token on it. Through generosity and sinere respect for Mr. Johnson, Joseph Watson, and the rest, it is possible for the Johnson plot to be beautified. Long, green grass now waves over the plot and four tran-quilced kears keep watch at the four corner of the quiet square. The center of this quiet square will rise the monument.

When his attention has to be given continuously to the matter of funds, the big problems lose just so much of his attention. The function of a great university is not merely to graduate yearly men and women to take their several places in the community, but also to create an educational, professional, and social atmosphere that will be beneficial to the country at large. The president's time should be devoted thought rather than to begging to keep his institution alive. Independent Howard University will never measure up to its possibilities until it is financially independent. This will require the colored people will only arouse themselves to a duty which the writer has been trying to stress in these courses. If Howard University is ever endowed, the endowment will have to come from the colored people. The colored people will never be philanthropic donors of the other race, and though the sympathy of such donors will always much to the university, there will never be a philanthropic endow. Howard University. The Medical School may attract such attention. Possibly the School of Rehabilitation will but the college will never attract the charity of white America. Superior Facts are stubborn things, but they have to be employed. White America as a country does not believe in the mental development of the Negro race, but it does have in any way develop a rivalry between the two races, white support is not to be expected. The white race declares that it is the superior one. To make good its boast, it must not be a race, and race it must prove the converse. It follows, therefore, that whenever the mind of the Negro is Memorial services were recently held in the Capitol at Washington, D.C., by the University ofett, founder of the Washington College of Law and a pioneer feminist. The Rev. Dr. John J. Quinn, president of the Washington Education Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley, Dean George Grace Hayes Riley, dean of the Washington College of Law, and Mrs. Donald R. Hooker, dean of the Women's Party participated in the services. The American Legion Auxiliary of the District of Columbia organized the in service upon advice from headquarters at Indianapolis that it was not a patriotic demonstration. Mrs. Hooker had a remarkable career. She was talented and ambitious, but sex barred her from all white law schools of the District of Columbia, established for Negroes, but open to all applicants, regardless of sex or color, opened its doors to her. She complied with the Howard University Law School, and was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia, where she became an Her greatest service lay in establishing a woman's law class which eventually became the Washington College of Law, of which she and with both sexes represented on the faculty. The Law College has a woman as its dean. FORD NAMED TO REPRESENT B. U. WASHINGTON, D. C. — Charles P. Ford, an attorney, has been named by Daniel L.

SECOND ANNUAL CONCERT SAINT AUGUSTINE'S SANCTUARY CHOIR Motets, Madrigals, Part Songs, Solos, Cantata, Orchestra at ST. AUGUSTINE'S CHURCH—Main Auditorium 15th Street, between L and M Streets, Northwest Wednesday, June 1st, 1927 at 8:15 P. M.

Boulding, Wewoka, Okla. Total $198. to be trained, the process is by no means acceptable to the race that one designated itself as the superior one. It may, therefore, be accepted as an axiomatic fact that the interest taken in education in America now comes to a college training. Much is being said in these days about social integration, with the expressed hope that all classes of heterogenous American students can be made one harmonious whole, but the Negro is never considered in the equation. All the hopes for this ambitious social program have no thought, the Negro Waiting. It is very evident, therefore, that the college training which is the backbone of any professional training must be supplied for the Negro by the other race to look after his education, he is going to wake up some morning a man without an education. There ought not to develop the proper argument for the endowment of Howard University. Just because the university has been running largely on the appropriations of the government, it does not follow that the university will be endowed for manent. There are unfavorable symptoms of embarrassment for Howard University. The time to prevent an embarrassment is now enacted and it will be endowed if each reader of this column will send in just ONE DOLLAR. in the form of a check or money-order, but it will be endowed if the AFPRO-AMERICAN, in order that the accumulated amount may be presented on Commencement Day to Howard University in succession. It will be President Johnson's successful administration. Confusion Possibly there is some confusion about this campaign. Some are evidently confusing it with the Medical School drive, mistakenly that both campaigns are on at the same time. This ONE DOLLAR campaign should not in any way be associated with the school Drive. Whether the reader has given to the Medical School or not, this appeal is for just ONE DOLLAR to be mentioned from the colored images of America to place the entire university beyond want.

On next Sunday, the 29th, fifty-second minute talk in five minutes talk in fifty churches of the city. In view of the success of a meeting in New York City last week, the department desirs was realized there is great enthusiasm over the plan. It may happen that the reader has already given the Medical School freely of his hard earnings. This apportionment is an entirely different fund, but having for its objective virtually the same goal. One fact stands out clearly: the medical school succeeds, every department Howard University will be placed beyond need. This assertion, however, is not made to persuade the person who has pledged a sum to the Medical School, but to keep his word, to transfer his affections suddenly from the pledge to a donation of a dollar. It is to persuade even such a person to give this additional ONE DOLLAR. Combination Strength lies in the combination of dollars given singly. This is one lesson that has never been thoroughly taught in business, big syndicates, and big universities will become possible among Negroes only when they learn how to make the common good. The success of an enterprise like the endowment of a university is based upon real accomplishment, which comes profitable when it ripens into a realization. No doubt, the collection of pledges in Washington alone is not complete. The Medical School fund. The point is that the pledge method of raising money is not reliable because there is no interest in articulation between the pledge and the payment. A dollar may not be any easier to give than a hundred dollars is pledged. The ability to have more value. Guaranteed Result The writer has been suggesting the easy combination of dollars — ONE DOLLAR from each contributor, though for each contributor its combination with other dollars will produce power. The endowing of Howard University thus the combination of dollars gives singles a possibility but a rather not result. The resolution to give just ONE DOLLAR for the endowment of Howard University, I would effort that thousands of dollars would appear on this page. While this fund has been dragging along, among other accomplishments, an effort Howardies, the most gorgeous balls throughout the land have been given by colored people, representing endowment funds. The Medical School fund and to help establish an endowment fund for the university. No One Would Bann Pleasure. Newly admitted pleasures from the Negro race. Even if one did advocate such a policy, his hopes could not possibly be achieved. A call attention to the disproportionate interest given by colored people to educational matters. From a praying race, colored people to a race, surely the education of their offsprings should not be left wholly to the charity of another race. The appeal of Howardies for a contribution of just ONE DOLLAR a piece for the permanent endowment of Howard University, I would effort this fund. Send in just ONE DOLLAR. Y.W.C.A.

He said he was a Pharisee, an浸服er, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the judges, and indeed ye put the apostles forth a little space. And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take what ye intend to do as touching these men. And new I say unto you. Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught. But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; test heptly ye be found even to fight God. And to him they agreed; and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that the should not speak the name of Jesus and let them go.

P Union Baptist Church Notes Sunday morning saw the close of the series of sermons that have occupied the attention of the Union congregation for the past five weeks. "The Christ Message For Today," was delivered with the pastor's accustomed energy and appeared to hold the interest of the audience that was hardly up in point of attendance to the usual morning group. Many of the students pressed themselves as having not only been deeply interested but highly benefited. The pulpit subjects for the Sunday School were the "Good Shepherd" and at evening time, a motion picture lecture on the Near East Relief. The Sunday School was very much alike the out-of-doors showed a slight decrease in comparison with that of the past few weeks. Summer is drawing nigh and the call of the out-of-doors is growing. School planning to combat this as it successfully last summer. Our motto is to "Grow" and we mean to grow at all seasons. During two years the school will be able to attend by nearly 100 per cent. Plans are being worked out for the opening of our Daily Vacation School in the month of July. Miss Nannie Gray with the group of assistants will be in charge each week day, except Saturday. From July 10 through August 10, Enrollment cards are soon be to circulated and we are hoping that the response of the parents will enable us to secure a large number of students. The organization is organized play adapted to a few practical things that will at the same time teach. The children who come will consider it a vacation indeed. Missionary Society has announced a Woman's Day for the third Sunday in June. At the morning service the pastor will give a special message to the program is arranged, including appropriate music and addresses by prominent women of the city. It is hoped and expected that the women of the city will regard the day in unusual importance. On Monday night of the present week the recital by Mr. Norton E. Dennis proved an unusual success and he fully instilled his reputation as being a baritone singer of great and pleasing gifts. The large audience was fairly swept in its appreciation of his art and his charisma in homage to his satisfaction that it had spent a delightful evening. Rev. Over is expecting to leave the city early in June to attend the National Sunday School Congress, meet engagements on the return trip will keep him away about two weeks.

BY BISHOP PAYNE Delivered at the New York Conference 75 Years Ago and Supplied by the Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr. Who is sufficient for these things? II Cor. 2:16. First then, the preaching of the one who asks by this? Various are the answers given. Some there are who believe it consists in loud declamation, laughter in whoooping, stamping and beating the Bible or desk with their fists, and in cutting as many old capers as a wild imagination builds up, previously on this subject as to think that he who halops the loudest and speaks the longest is the best preacher. We have plenty of ideas have their origin in our education, tor we believe that just what we have been taught. But if any man wishes to be a Gospel man, him as ask of mere mortal man, but let him find his answer in the teachings of Him who spake as never man spake, and whose wisdom was never spake. Hear him in the matchless sermon on the Mount, teaching poverty and meekness in peace and righteousness, in mercy and purity, and to find exceeding righteousness. He is a righteousness' sake. See with what divine skill he expounds the moral law, and carries its appertaining to the invisible conduct into the interior and invisible workings of the human soul. Him either in private houses or on the seashore, or in the temple, by parables of the most striking beauty and similecipes upon which the moral government of the universe is based. Bethel A. M.E.

No notification of this situation had been given us by the management, William Smith could not be found.

C.—(Special)—Likelihood of a boom for Gifford Pinchot as the next president of the United States has aroused the interest of voters here. Efforts to run down the boom landed an AFRO reporter in the apartment of Melvin Chisum, efficiency engineer connected with the Iran Embassy, Chicago, who spent a few days in Washington last week, at the New Liberty Hotel. Mr. Chisum, by the way, is a Maryland and for many years lived in Salisbury. At one time also, he conducted a newspaper in Baltimore and at present is field secretary of the National Negro Press Association. "There are several things," Mr. Chisum said, "that commend Mr. Pinchot to our group as the next president. Chief among them, however, is his attitude toward colored people, first as a personal friend of the late President Roosevelt and chief of the forestry bureau in the Department of Agriculture; and second, his attitude toward colored people while governor of the state of Pennsylvania. Appointments "There are colored people in the department of Agriculture today who owe their appointments to the influenza with the department. Never before, nor since, has that department been so liberal in its treatment of our group. Men as governor of the state of Pennsylvania, Mr. Pinchot appointed Edward Henry as magistrate in Philadelphia and was 'accused' by his enemies of appointing colored men as justices of the peace an over the Boxing Commissioner "He was responsible, also, for the appointment of Charles Fred White Pennsylvania State Boxing Commission. "Mr. Pinchot not only believed in treating everybody squarely in the Constitution, he also believes in the Constitution and law enforcement. It is impossibly while the law of the land is ruthlessly violated or the rights of 'any American citizen trampled under foot. Born In Connecticut "Mr. Pinchot is a New Englander, having been born in Connecticut fifteen years ago, and received further broadening training and contact in the university of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and France. "He began the first systematic forest work in the United States and worked on several books on this chosen field. "I like to think of him, however, as Gifford Pinchot, the square shooter and the friend of 'Teddy' Roosevelt.

JUNIOR HIGH SECTION Many View Exhibit At St. Peter Claver's Those who have not witnessed the remarkable religious exhibit at St Peter Claver's will have an opportunity for another week, according to announcement made by the management. This exhibit, which is one of the most unique ever constructed, has been the wonders of religious development. The mechanical group of figures enacting the Last Supper, are clear examples of the many other artists, but idealists. The naturalness of the faces and movements, the kindly countenance of Jesus, and the intimacy with the knowledge of his evil; these are but few impressions gained from this masterpiece. Possible the most interesting of the miniatures is the Shadow of the Cross, a life size canvas of Jesus walking alone. When all lights are turned out, the figure may be seen in the darkness, and over the cross appears on His left shoulder. There are other paintings depicting various artworks, including the pativity to his crucifixion. Coins minted by the Caesars are on display.

Weglein, Supervisor Wood, Principals of Schools Among Elite Present With 1,250 pupils and 2,500 parents and patrons in attend- ance, the Third Annual Music Festival of Pupils in the Public School, will be presented at the Theatre Thursday evening. The festival was under the auspices of music department of pubs and schools, and board of school commissioners. It is regarded by many as one of the outstanding annual social and cultural events in the direction of John Dennes, white director of musical education, thirty-one schools were represented by the participants, Thursday evening. The presentations of the elementary grades was divided into three stages: the first stage, a cycle of rhythms and songs from the new course of study, was directed by Miss Abia F. Jackson, Assistant Director of Music, made in the 23 schools, represented, were artistic and lent beauty to the garden scene. The rhythmic interplay of birds, raindrops, four winds, sunbeams, and at the finale, seven graceful spring sprites, coupled with the sounds of grass beds, as their individual songs were rendered by the chorus. A novelty of the program was the chorus of 150 boys, one of which was made by Miss Jackson. The enunciation and melow tone qualification of the group, especially well noted in the spiritual devotional, made this a leading feature. The most pretentious number by the elementary group was the canvassing (Ira Wilson), sung by a costumed chorus of 200 boys and girls of the intermediate grades, with the pianist Miss Adah Killion, assistant supervisor of music. The artistic interpretation, clearness of diction and rhythm, as well as the warmth of the youthful singers, combined with the responsiveness of the actors, made the cantata a number of outstanding interest. The second of the success of these three offerings was due to the very capable and sympathetic accompanying by Mrs. Ruth B. McAbe, assistant supervisor of music, with W. L. Wilson; Killion and Killion, also trained individual groups in the three choruses. The three junior high schools Douglas Wilson; Dunbar; and W. L. Wilson; Dunbar, with Medames Wharton and Washington with Miss Carrie Smith, conducting, rendered groups, all of them careful training, with decidedly pleasing results. The culminating feature of the High School Chorus and Orchestra program, the conductorship of W. L. Wilson, singing with splendid effect three choruses, exhibiting excellent qualification and musical acumen. Gundol's "Send Out Thy Light," in which the choral effects were noteworthy. Under the capable guidance of H. Milton Gross and J. Harry Hunt the stage management was excellent, arranged. The quiet and rapid handling of the large choruses was outstanding. Among the notables were: Supt. Davie E. W. Wheat, Inst. Ms. Francis Jackman, supervisor of musical education. John Itzel, supervisor of orchestras and bands. Supervision of Tr. James C. V. Vivian, Vice principals and vice principals were present in boxes. SAYS PREACHER CAN'T MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY "You cannot expect to come to church on Sunday and get happy and full of the spirit unless you do something good throughout the week" declared the Rev. Page M. Beech a sensate at the First Baptist Church. "Some people, he declared, fight and wrangle and do mean things all week and then get mad because the preacher can't make them happy on Sunday. The feeling of spiritual hapiness must come from the words of a minister regardless of how loud and long he preaches." "In order to be touched by the Holy Ghost it is necessary to do like the first Christians did on Pentecostal Day. They talked about differences, envy, malice and make your hearts of one accord." he declared. Selfishness is killing the church people: instead of talking about themselves too much They talk about themselves too much They are jealous of each other. If one member owns a Pierce Arrow and another member owns a Ford, he should resist the pierce owner owning a Pierce Arrow instead of being envious and causing dissension.

He is a musician and musician, presented Cecil Cohen, pianist and member of the faculty of Howard University, in recital at Grace Congregational Church, Sunday afternoon. Mr. Cohen's program was both biolinguistic and articulately, and fortunately a third over before the arrival of most of the audience. I was greatly surprised at the utter lack of formality and customary stage decorum one would expect in a concert. Mr. Cohen appeared disinterested and slightly bored, smiling only once during the entire afternoon. While this may be his natural manner it certainly does not endear him to the audience but rather detracts from the otherwise excellence of his performance. Saint-Saens, Schumann, Chopin, Brahms, Faure, Debussy, Scribain, Godowsky, Gruenfeld were composers represented on the program, evinced by the use of massive and sustained works, though a well-merited encore following the Ballade in G Minor, by Brahms, was a brief tone poem of sheer beauty With Emil Jannings WEDNESDAY and, with passages in various compositions, displayed sensitiveness and warmth, to a gratifying degree. There was strict avoidance of sensitious manners, he played with ease and assurance. Despite an occasional heavy pedal and obscured passages, Mr. Cohen deserved hearty commendation.

But the theatre won't accept a small company. They demand a large star cast and offer you a trio salary. It is true we can cut quantity for quality and it will pay. I can voucher for that myself. I do believe that alpine movies have a musical comedy revue, comedy drama, or drama, from 10 to 25 people and I have never hired a leading lady or man, sometimes hire some people who are so saline that I picked up some local talent and rehearse them two days and run my "stars" out. So you see they don't mean much to me and headliners in the game that should be in service and some local talent people that should be stars. I make anyone I want. Old-timers depend on their past, back in the Teens. That stuff is out. Some of the old-timers produce their famous public street act and their office act surpasses "Ben Hur" but can they do a same beetle as the foot lights? The greatest question of today is: What do our booking agents do? They are a (mental wrecker) they only give you an idea of where and when you go. They make one feel like they are the appointed, hour, then you realize that it was a dream. A nervous wreckage follows. The booking agent wholly responsible? My answer is no. The theatre managers authorize and elect an agent, yet they will not allow any managers to do more booking than the agent. They bring in whom they please, the agent only notifies the house manager that a company is nearby. I will ask one more question: How much money is required? I will answer this question next week.

But to took the young thespians of the Douglass High School to mime the classical Shakespearean drama with the help of the actors and dance out an evening's entertainment that far exceeds any previous offering of amateurs this year, in their presentation of The Beggar Prince at the school auditorium. While the atmosphere was decidedly Shakespearean and now and then a passage was used, had had of the old master, from the writings of the old master, yet the program informs that the Misses Mae Miller, Helen Reynolds and Yolande DuBois are responsible for the script, which was both well written and well performed. Henrietta Brown There is little doubt that little Miss Henrietta Brown, as Peterkin, a village boy, gave the outstanding individual performance of the evening. While she had very little to do, that little was done so well and naturalness that the audience acclaimed her in both her songs and Annie. Too. There was just a shade of difference between her and her elder sister. Annie Brown, her older sister, was unusual sweetness, is an actress of no mean ability. Thomas Harris, as Prince Florian, acquitted himself well, but, as the sister of Miss Brown, his male voice did not possess the volume of that of the young woman. Jack-in-the-box and a jester, Miss Robinette Male added a vivaciousness that spiced up the dull moments. Karen, as Klotz, a fruit vendor, portrayed well his character, but was handicapped by the neglect of the directors in failing to make him up in accordance with the age he grew up. Gypsy Charleston As a dancing team, Lola Mallory and Kermit Lee covered themselves with glory when they stopped the show in his imitative fashion and left the audience crying for more. Fannie Martin as an entertainer also appeared. The march of the Wooden Soldiers by students of the Junior Hi School, My Dream, and the School of the Arts were the most picturesque offerings. Solos by Miss Annie Brown, Thomas Harris and Gracie Meade were pleasing. The scene was laid in an imaginary kingdom of Floriana, where a fruit dealer in his efforts to revenge himself a beast of disguise conceived of disguising a begar as a prince in order that she might be deceived.

Helen Bombraye Says Actors Often Live Their Parts Stage Folk Reflect Humor And Pathos In Life Off The Stage Johnny Hudgins, the inimitable cork or other artificial a comedian, has an old-time partner who is carrying on along the T. O. B. A. circuit. Helen Bombrye who is now with the team of Bombrye and Baxter, was Hudgins' only lady partner and toured Columbia burlesque with him six years. The tour dates are 1997. Miss Bombrye came originally from Richmond, Virginia, and despite her years in New York, Detroit and St. Louis, she has remained that Southern hospital. Miss Bombrye has a When asked about her home and some of her early experiences, her eyes lighted up as she staged a stage reminiscences. "It is more than a work," she said, "I see the humor and pathos in many of my partners when we are in this comedieine. This comedieine is strongly in favor of acts which stand entirely upon their merits. I do not like the suggestive nature of the act, the actors think that they must lower themselves in order to get by. They are lacking in ability and try to hide it behind such a thin screen." Her act is excellent and needs no preparation. "I know that when you sing a pretty sentimental song, or do a good itch, you can tell it and speak well of you. When the performance is of a lower character they may appraise you, but you can go to a dinner party, and tell a good joke without MCCOLLUM'S WEEKLY STAGE REVIEW MCCOLLUM'S WEEKLY STAGE REVIEW By OBIE McCOLLUM There is a heroine in the chorus of Matt Houseley's "A Trip To Araby, Houseley's," a play that takes place in the Royal Theatre. Not the kind that goes through smoke and fire of a burning tenement building, and is eligible for a Carnegie mansion, but cavorts and dances madly because audiences must be pleased. Two weeks ago the Mississippi girls went to plantation across from Memphis and swept away her two brothers, two sisters, and two of their parents are dead and she has only her own baby left—the child of a husband who deserted her. But the little girl has her eyes and hearts buried her heartache beneath the tusk glamor of the gay and merry show. We wonder how many of the theatre patrons dance and sing under such strain. "NARY A WIGGLE" Some of the coming June junes should be handed to Matt Housewives for a presentation of an Oriental scene and a dance in his "Trip To Araby."

More power to you, Matt. 27 "May Balls" In the presentation of "The Capture of The Queen of May", which will be offered at the Lyri's Theatre on May 27th, the apex of Baltimore's artistic expression is expected to be reached. E. L. Toomey is a local landmark, the present occasion being his 27th annual "May Ball." Numerous placards about the city tell you of this "grand entertainment" and that "May Ball" but members of the old citizenry tell you that most of the affairs are mere shadows in imitation of the class of deportment of the Toomey studios. If you appreciate a temporary departure from the black bottom and blue notes, you might well break an engagement and witness the 50 Juvenile artists' "Capture Of The Queen of May."

Two-Reel Western—"FLAMING SNOW" Two brothers aim for the love of the same girl, one a minister and other a Pirate; Bros. Minister is too soft to enter the Island, therefore Bros.

Miss Bombraye has been an entertainer in a number of the larger cabarees. Among them are the Manhattan in St. Louis, the Over chain cabarets in Ohio and the Arcadia in Detroit. She has also recorded for the Paramount company. The team mate of Helen Bombraye is a namesake and cousin. Helen Baxter. Despite 14 years as an actress, Miss Baxter has a winsome smile and a pair of dimples that would make some debutantes envious. I do not know how old she is for no woman keeps up with her age after she reaches 27. In 1912, when J. Rosamond Johnson was staging his "Darktown Follies" in New York, he picked Miss Baxter, a Harlem girl, for a title role. Later she appeared again as a soloist in Ruby Taylor Jones' "Five High Browns". She has a pleasing voice and sings blues and popular numbers with equal ease and beauty of rendition. Miss Baxter has spent a large portion of her time entertaining at New York's "Leroy's" and "Baron Wilkins", and the "Renaissance". She has also shown in saving and investment by the new generation of actors. This charming lady is a record holder of the "My Dream Of The Big Parade."

BILLY PIERCE OP'NS ELABORATE DANCE STUDIO NEW YORK. — Billy Pierce, of Broadway fame, who has made hundreds of stage favorites walk and tie the "chalk line", is branching, or rather, growing out from restricting elaborate, artistically, and well equipped studios of the dance in the United States. The BILLY PIERCE STUDIO is now the entire first floor of the street, consists of 4,500 square feet of floor space, and is the last word in comfort, convenience and service. Padded Floors Mindful of his pupils, Pierce has gone to enormous expense to heavily pad the floors of instruction rooms with a rubberized inoleum of several thicknesses. Thus, the floors of jars and body strain. The rooms are furnished with stretching bars, and mirrors all around the rooms enable both pupil and instructor to observe views of poses, steps and gestures. Can Stage Shows Two courses are planned across a hallway with doors opening directly opposite. With this arrangement, Mr. Pierce can stage an entire chorus of 16 in a solid line, the dressing room can advance of sixteen steps, or to the usual footlight front. Since it has been the honor of this studio to stage choruses in the leading music as well as the current, this arrangement can be readily understood. A ventilating system prevents draught or overheating, and scores of private lockers, ventilated. Separate Dressing Rooms Separate dressing rooms are maintained for star and chorus, the stars dressing room beaten up. Generous provision has been made for shower baths. Hallways are carpeted in the fashionable marble linoleum of black and white design, works of prominent works on the walls of hallway and restroom. Crowded To Doors At present Mr. Pierce has a classrol of more than three hundred rhythmically inclined, but those time classes, in which he is the instructor of each one, he is assisted by Buddy Bradley. Master. Frank Harrington. Chief Instructor, and Aaron Gates assistant. He is the instructor of all that is art in dance, registers the BILLY PIERCE SCHOOL as the best school of tap dancing in the world. He is the instructor of the number staged by Pierce in the sensational "Rio Rita." When interviewed a few days ago, Pierce confided: "When I came to Broadway, oh about three or four years ago, some folks said, 'You're going to stand right in front of me, but I have proven that all a chap has to do is to know what's to be done and do it.' Service and courtesy have been given to me. I am succeeding, it least fairly."

Randolph Edmonds' "Rocky Roads", by the Morgan Drama Association at the Morgan State Association. Assemble the theatre company. Mr. Kemmons is a young playwright and he shows good judgment in painting a simple picture with plain and every day background, and paint it well. He takes a problem into view, places it in villages and to some cities, and lets the solution come as a natural result of efficient training. He reflects his philosophy through the mouth of the hero and throws in some laughs for good measure. That combined with earnest amateur activity, makes him a prominent man. The Story Paul Franklin, a Howard medical student, is persuaded by his friend, Walter Hanson, a dentist, practicing in Smoky Cress, Alabama, to come to Smoky Cress to practice at Thompson Hospital. He stops him and disappears somewhere in the South. An accident makes it necessary for Paul to have a nurse, who proves to be his lost sweetheart. She assures him in a dangerous operation, and he is saved by the loved one and the discoverers that the rocks in his road have vanished. Jackson Good Houston R. Jackson leaves a decidedly good impression as the Howard doctor, who has the prejudices of the apparent townpeople and the exclusion of his sweetheart to contend with. For naturalism and grasp of his supernatural powers, he makes the players. He was well supported by McIntyre. Miss Anita Short is a likeable heroine although she would not ordinarily impress one as suited to such a role. Her voice is effective in dramatic high lights and she is fairly responsive in the love-making whose portraits acted were: Frank White, and Mitch Fax. Mitch Fax did her comic role in an easy and almost non-chalent manner, convulsing with laughter, with laughter. While Dorothy Mitchell did all in her power to act the hero who had been seriously injured in the automobile accident, detectives in the city had detected in the play. Among others whose portrayals were impressively acted were: Frances Male, Velma White, and Evelyn Pax. Miss Pax died her comic role in an easy and almost non-chalent manner, concuising her audience with laughter. While Dorothy Mitchell died all in her power to act, the part of a woman who had been seriously injured in the automobile accident, Frances Male defects in the part which may be laid to the playwright and director. Conscious And Yelling Before there was time to realize that they be the victim, following the crash, the patient was stretched out on a lounge in the doctors office. She was suffering from brain concussion and a piece of the fractured bone was resting against her brain, yet the woman was conscious and yelling histily, in response to being temporarily seated. Successfully be true in some exceptions, but hardly often enough to be used in a picture which can be readily interpreted. Monroe Lyon Monroe Lyon, the son of the Liberal Consul, was a duplicate of the former manager Crawford Trader was laughingly to the scared fighter and the country lower, Samuel Owens and John Gundy were representative gentlemen of the "canvasser industry." Taking "Rocky Road" as a whole, it may be said that it is an evening of the production for Ferdolph Edmond, as a plausible indicate that his read "were rocky long." Aladdin Playing Stock Frank Norwood's reuse company is playing stock engagements with weekly changes of programs at the Aladdin Theatre. Norwood is a comedy and specialty actor and he has surrounded himself with eleven supporters who readily respond with a "new bag of tris" at the end of each week.

MUSIC CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE. PNS Violin once played by Negro artist now proud possession of American millionaire. It is generally conceded that the most famous violin maker who ever lived was the great Italian Antonio Salieri, may be between 1640 and 1650 and died in 1737. He was a past master of the art of violin making. Stradivarius was a very industrious workman; during his life time he was three thousand violins although at the present time only about one hundred are accounted for. One of the instruments, the famous "Betts Strad" is now the property of an American who is said to be a very enormous sum of twenty thousand dollars for it. A year or so ago Rodman Wanamaker, the American millionaire, returned from Eurone with a collection of instruments which includes many of the most famous specimens of the great master makers of string instruments. In the collection was a famous as the "Swan Song" or last instrument made by Stradivarius when he was 33 years old. This violin is dated 1737. It was for many years owned and played by Joseph White, a violinist of Negro blood who was born in Mantanza, Cuba, Dec. 31, 1839. He studied under Alard at the Paris Conservatory where he was awarded first prize. For a number of years he acted as Court Violinist to the Emperor Don Pedro of Brazil. He was an admirable interpreter of the classics. Prior to his death in 1918 White was a professor at the Paris Conservatory and taught many serious violinists of the present generation. Early in his career he tore the America but on account of color prejudice did not achieve the success there but the success America where was received with great acclaim. White sold his famous solo instrument in 1933 to a wealthy European Collector from whom it was purchased. He then moved to America and proposes now in the strong room of the New York Wanamaker Store. "BLACKBIRDS" GET PERMIT EXTENSION LONDON.-Florence Mills' "Blackbirds" will remain in England for an engagement beginning May 30 at the St. Paul's Church.

The first reason is that Dewey is Russian and dancer par excellence. The second reason is that singing of "Ell, Ell" in the Hebrew, by Lawrence Lomax, lyric tenor. Other reasons are the three charming singers, Flo Brown, Marie Moore and Blondina, Stern. Miss Brown cavorts aboutally her singing, her duesing duet with Ril Rivers, and adds her contralto to the female trio. Miss Stern's novelty, "Home", is one of the decided features of the bill.

Lomax has the voice, personality and the trainings, which anticipate pleasure before hearing him. Billy McLauren and "Slim" Thompson are back again with their funny capers.

Let no one persuade This is our national State. Let us live up to our citizenship. "This is a white man's country," writes a Norfolk, Va., correspondent to this newspaper. "He is the master mind. He produces everything. Negroes complain of segregation. Why shouldn't the white man look out for himself first?" We assume that our correspondent sincere and has actually been led to believe the treaty of above agreement. What determines ownership of a country? Certainly not priority of settlement, for if it did the country would belong to the red men whom whites dispossessed in the last four centuries. Look at the constitution of the United States to settle the point. It says. "We the people of the United States in order to establish a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the welfare of the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America." Note the words of the constitution are plain: "We the people." Not the reds or blacks, not the rich or poor, not the Protestants or Catholics are cited, but WE that includes every citizen without reference to color, property or condition. The declaration of independence declared all men born free and equal. The constitution supreme law of the land guarantees citizenship in full and all commitments added subsequently specifically abolished slavery, made citizens of former slaves and their descendants and provided for their enjoyment of full citizenship privileges and immunities including the right to vote. Not only is the United States our country by right of constitution and contract, but it is ours by birth and loyalty. We are among its first citizens. We will own forests and tilled its soil till the fields grew white with harvest. We built its roads and drained its swamps. We kept its homes safe and sacred, we sacrificed our lives in time of peril for its defense. Because we are black, fetal cast our lots in humble circumstances. We are yeoman. America has prospered because of the sweat of our brow and we have done our jobs with a cheerfulness and a patience that has made the world marvel. Use the war this patience and good-will has always been predicated on that fact that we know that the ownership of the United States is vested in a democratic government and that sovereignty in the last analysis resides in all the people. Then there is that other thing, that cowardly statement sometimes made by our enemies who think with their feelings instead of with their intellects. They say the whites have produced everything, the Negroes nothing. Yet these same enemies are they who oppose, and oppose most often successfully, the advancement of the black folk into any vocation except the unskilled jobs, agriculture and domestic service. Cannot find that not only in our own country, but in other countries millions of persons whose economic condition is on the par with ours? Are there not millions of white farm hands, white domestic servants, white common laborers? Do you ever hear anyone taunt them because they have not risen to better circumstances? Does anyone say that these humble tasks are not as important as running a paper mill or a street car company or trading securities on the stock market? As to segregation, certainly we oppose it and condemn it. The constitution, our contract, our country, expressly wipes out the color line, and we are of a supreme court decision, not only "guarantees our political rights; but our social rights as well." We tolerate Jim crow cars and separate schools and colored ghettoes and separate churches and colored Y. M. C. A. s, but it's only temporary. We're sensible enough to be quiescent but not acquiescent. We know the history of civilization. Its language is plain. No two races, widely divergent, ever inhabited the same land without the one absorbed the other or exterminated it. As for extermination look at the census figures. As for absorption, look at the growing number of mulattoes. No dear Virginia correspondent, this country belongs to you as much as to anyone. Let no one persuade you to believe otherwise. This is our United States. Let us make it live up to its constitution. Let us live up to our citizenship. Thoughts Of The Founder A letter to Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, dated July 29, My dear Mr. President: I take this means of thanking you personally for the strong and many hands that have made a great preparation to the people of the United States against the evil of lynching. It is to be hoped that you will surely sure that the colored people will be greatly inspired by your noble letter. We are the strongest feeling that if the government at Washington would only speak out against the evils which plague us, our relief would come will come very much quicker. Thanking you again for your inspiring letter, I am. Very respect 7 yours. J. M.

Suffrage In Oregon Suffrage In Oregon On the June 28 special election ballot another "dark blot", a reminder of racial prejudice of by-gone days, will be submitted, to voters for repeal. Last November the people approved the deletion from the Oregon constitution of one "blot". Section 35, Article 1, frobid Negroes and mulattoes to enter Oregon and provided punishment for white persons who brought such colored persons into the state. But in proposing that Section 35, Article 1, be repealed, Representative William F. Woodward, who introduced the original resolution in the 1925 Legislature that repealed the repeal, overlooked another equally obnoxious provision. Section 6, Article II, which provides that no Negro, mulatto or Chinaman should have the right to vote in Oregon. This section was long ago nullified and repealed by the 15th amendment to the Federal Constitution which mandates that all citizens of the state, the right of citizens to vote due to "race, color or previous condition of servitude". Since Chinamen can become american citizens the ballot for repeat competes the process of expurgating from the state's constitution all reference to limitations on rights of residence and suffrage of colored peoples.

Like many others this writer thought it best that another president be elected, but now that the qualified majority of voters have spoken, it is but good sportsmanship that we all claps hands over the battle line and close ranks for real work in the organization for a year. This is a country where the democratic doctrine of rule by the majority should be applied to organizations especially city-wide organizations, and destructive gumming of the works might reassert itself, BUT IT ALSO MIGHT RETARD OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOUSANDS OF INCENTOCE CHILDREN FOR WHICH THE ASSOCIATION SHOULD BE WORKING. Let us watch and pray and be on the alert, but let us all now work like good Turks to help put over any constructive work the administration might propose. Let both sides be good sports. What We Do To Handicapped Speaking before a mass meeting conducted in Baltimore by the Association For The Handicapped. Dr. Robert W. Johnson, Jr., of John Hopkins hospital, declared that wherein the Greeks left their cripples and handicapped on the hill side to die we make an effort to reconstruct them into useful lives. In spirit and attitude, we have gone a long ways towards a more humane treatment of handicapped human beings, but if you read the death list last year you saw the death of the little boy age, WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIVING TODAY HAD THE GOOD CHRISTIAN PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE EQUATE HOSPITAL PACILITIES. According to Dr. Johnson, there are 60 available beds for treatment of cripples and with these beads occupied a constant waiting list of people who cannot be properly treated. The Greeks had their hills but we have our alleys and it makes but little difference to the little dead boy whether we deliberately put him out on the hill to die, or whether by neglect we let him die in an alley, HE IS DEAD. Tragedy In The Mississippi Valley What would happen in your community if some catastrophe swept suddenly away every home and over every corner out of work for three months? Contemplate this together with the hardships that would come if your dear family suddenly had to move to a new town and you will get some idea of the tragedy which has come upon more than 200,000 men and women in the Mississippi Valley. But out of the tragedy may come labor and stold living quarters on these big plantations will be less American public opinion w-locus not only on flood prevention but on other conditions in this rich farming section. Three months of wholesale farmwork would wreck any community and every American citizen should share the burden of this great tragedy. In 1827 the United States in 1827 could ever lost St. Peter squarely in the lace when THEY HAD NOT CONSTRUED IN SOME WAY OR BELIEF OF THESE REFLECTIONS. Get Into The Flying Game Any paper of any race or clime would be out of tune this week if it did not pay some manatee heat of "Lucky" Burry, the first to fly a monoplane across the Atlantic. Wherever news could go this week human hearts be hard to do and dare was quickened by this young dare devil who "hocked" his life to convince a world that he could do what he needs will be doing ten years hence. It ought to remind young men of the race also that there is still plenty to be done in RACE in this world. It took less than $10,000, an amount that will be spent this very night in any group of finance Lindbergh's matchless effort. Young men of the group should get into the flying game before ALL THE GESTURES JS CONSTRUCTED. Before very long most of the mail of the country will be sent through the air and there will be fewer jobs for many of the old time manatees who travel on the ocean. We cannot always continue to win applause as a race by "keeping up with the achievements" of other races and believing that WE HAVE BEEN DONE BY OTHERS. We must pass them in some things. We must DO SOME THINGS FIRST. Not one tenth of ten per cent of the really big things we be done by hum in things in this world have even been thought of yet. Consider what might have been the result if the thing that Lindbergh did had had no effect and then get busy on some of the things which are YET TO BE DONE. Constitution Dead (Columbian D. C. Press Service) Charles Willis Thompson, the late governor of Eighteenth Amendment will never be repealed. Repeal is unnecessary, he says, inasmuch as the Constitution condone or erade any section of the Constitution which is obnoxious to them. As an example, Thompson refers to the 1791 amendment, "The South silently decided that this amendment applied only to the North." It took a great many years for the Noth to in trouble to change this silent amendment." Afro Readers Say Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough.

Your recent article on the "Convention Activities at Baltimore of the American Federation of Musicians" has raised questions. While I appreciate your zeal ingiving publicity to what should be a worth while news article, I cannot understand why you are marked with the disloyalty to the institution which protects us.

Lec. Secy's Local 591, A. F. of M. Clean Shirt On Earth Comes Before A White Robe In Heaven. To the Editor: The land Marcus Garvey had went to embarked up by American capitalists—a portion of land the size of the State of Pennsylvania. Why? Because America has no rubber supply and buys from England as well. In the days when soldiers went to war dressed like they were going to a dance the U. S. capitalists reduced the native population of slavery and brutal treatment causing them to work for about 24 a day, which is about half what the natives in India receive for the same day. Whether it is Marcus Garvey or Harry Firestone, Jr., who will reap the benefits of millions from the college students who consider a college diploma of no greater worth than a fight for living wages for the laborers will be there, and for every Bible we will hand them a union card, and build institutes for Adult Education and force wages up to the living standard just as we have done in South America. We Christian socialists believe in a comfortable home and every opportunity to revivals. A man must first satisfy his physical wants before he will think about spiritual things. A man wants a clean shirt on this earth because he needs a desire for a white robe in Heaven. We Socialists have organized most of the Unions and the backbone or organized them. —W. E. Thomas, Boston, Mass. Thinks Race Should Promote Mil- Dollar Movie Producing Concern To the Editor: I noticed the article written by M. S. H. Dudley, Sr., about colored movies. My candid opinion is that it would be a grand thing to see a picture of our own group, but nothing of the blood and thunder type. What we need is pictures depicting the struggle to the top with confidence, and women who have made a success of life, starting from the beginning and the struggle to the top with confidence, in their lives and themselves. Also have dramas and comedies. A million dollar corporation would build a movie theater to take a lot of money to get a good start. For instance, a good location, scenery, painters, carpenters, electricians, camera men and directors, but it should be returned for the sole purpose to bring you back ten fold. In my opinion, I should say that out of the surplus that should go to the theatre, the sole purpose should be returned for the sole purpose of building the theatres in every large city in the United States where our people are in throngs, a moment where there can be no possibility of segregation in ticket sales or seats. Gave No Such Advice, Says The Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, of Memphis, Tennessee. In your column of the Afro-American, "Day By Day", in the issue of May 14th, you say: "With the Board of Education standing by, Dr. Griggs and I have been in a group that their only hope lies in currying favor with the southern white people and to accept the southern white man's views on the race question." Here is here made to the address which I made recently in connection with the dedication of the Booker T. Washington High School building, and nothing in that address that in the remotest way resembles any such advice. In none of the sixteen books which I have written, I have addressed addresses which I have deferred in all parts of the country, have I given any such advice. I do not know how soon it is to be able to deliver a deadline hour. I have never read a line of criticism of anything I have actually said or written concerning the race question in the south. On several occasions, criticism has been directed at things I wish sincerely, along with our other progress, we might find some way of using the mails or the telegraph to enquire as to the accuracy of harmful statements made with regard to those endeavoring to serve the public.

To the Editor: In your issue of May 14. under the caption, "Do You Know," you express doubt as to the presence of air at a distance of approximately 0.1米 from the value of a supposition, but it seems to me that you over-steped the mark, when you inferred that "nothing remains but empty space"; at this disjunction, let us for one minute omit the ether or light wave theory of the physicist and reason the thing out from a logical point of view, as empty space, this assertion would imply a vacuum. Such a condition is contrary, to all of our physical laws. It cannot exist. Kindly tell me what to prevent, substantiate, fill in, fill space, or planet for that matter. Do you suppose that the sun exerts a retaining force upon our earth, and conversely the earth against the sun like one upon its atmosphere? All this may be true: but what force do you think is anchoring the sun and conversely the earth against the sun, the "Empitness" which you maintain? Benton Gibbs, Brooklyn, N. Y. If Capital Punishment Had Any Effect On Society, Death Implements Would Long Ago Have Been Laid Aside. To the Editor: I quite agree with your correspondent, Virginia Peters Parkhurst, in opposition to capital punishment. Has capital punishment helped society? I think this question has been answered many years ago, by some of the best criminal lawyers in the negative, and very recently by one of the best lawyers of today. Clarence Darrow. The theory that penalty prevents crime is absolutely number of people who have been wrong. Consider, too, the great butchered, and later found innocent, than two months old, in which a man, convicted of the murder of a girl, was given life sentence, but after serving two years of his time, the alleged dead appeared, and the man was restored to liberty. Here we can learn a great lesson. Let us not be satisfied with taking a life. Why can't we be more modern human, although they have erred with the criminals? Are they not crimes do not originate in a positive desire for evil, but in the want of will-power, and before the poor unfortunate finds himself, he has been driven to excess by bitter fate. If execution had any effect on sohave been laid aside years ago, ciyet, the death implements would have carried on the dark past, finally cleared away, and capital punishment abolished everywhere? The real punishment for Mrs. Snider, Gray and Jackson, should be confinement for many years, or life. If execution have time to reent, and reform. Surely, civilization demands this much consideration, where human life is concerned. (Mrs.) Leonora C. Davidson, 1333 R street, Wash., D. C.

Heard and Seen In Baltimore Heard and Seen In Baltimore The owners of a local cemetery advertised in last week's AFRO to the effect that they would give a burying service of charge to any poor person who dies in the city within the next two weeks. This would be a pretty good offer if they didn't have to die to get it. Yet some folks would do anything once if they thought they would be saving money. One old fossil who had been planning to die for some time turned up his nose at the offer because the management wouldn't include a tomb stone. Being a graveyard landlord might have its setbacks but your tenants do very little kicking. And if they couldn't pack up and move out. The owners say that this is the most beautiful cemetery in the city but of course this cuts little ice with the inmates. Dead men tell no tales but unless they are cremated they continue to lie.

They have to be; look at all the excuses they have to think up every time they want to go out or come in. Bachelors may be dumb but if ignorance is bliss it is folly to be married. Marriage is an institution. The entrance fee is only two bucks but you have to pay tuition for life. You keep right on paying even if you quit school only instead of calling it tuition they call it alimony. Of course it is hardly fair to say just because a husband gets struck with a rolling pin occasionally that he has been through the school of hard knocks. MILD MUSINGS By OBIE McCOLLUM INEQUALITIES A rich man met a beger on a leading thoroflowe on a beach and a devil on such a haughty, low down air. Said he, "Hey, my man, be going and be going mighty quick. For the sight of you is loathsome And you nearly make me sick." With a bold and fearless wit With a bold and fearless air, "When you spurn me like a viper, Are you really on the square? Now the difference between us That you have your second million And I'm starting on my first." Prof L. S. James, principal of Bowie State Normal, told graduates of Pocomoke City High School that use of paint and powder by both races shows that the races are equal.

If he does not change the civil service commission so that colored clerks can receive appointments, there will soon be need of delegations to the White House asking him to abolish segregation in government departments Why Not A Colored Man On The United States Civil Service Commission The New York Times of Sunday, May 15th, contained an interesting editorial on. "Fifty Years Ago," the article recounts the early struggle of the civil service reformers thru whose patriotic efforts the proposition became law. Up to that time the public service was recruited through the parishioner and congressman was silted so many places in departmental service. These public servants, partisans and benchesmen of the benefited politicians, with little or no heed of the position sought, are the applicant for the position sought. Such high minded and patriotic citizens as George Washington andarl Schurz regarded this patronage saturations as undermining the very foundation of the government. They were also vital to the perpetuation of free institution. One would have to project himself backward for more time to achieve the significance and import of this vital reform. We are so accustomed to the process that we are disposed to ignore it when we operate. It is the fate of the reformer. As soon as the reform succeeds, the reformer is forgotten. The Times calls attention to the progress of the movement and at the same time a recognition less the old patronage evil reassert itself again. As a student of social subjects, I find that it is necessary to public interest twice — once to ascertain its general aspect, and then to point out its special application to racial situation and circumstance. First went in operation, there was absolutely no discrimination on account of race or color. And women recruit the classified service, as result of competitive examinations. Theodore Roosevelt, the civil service commissioner, should have a square deal, and that merit only should count. Grover Cleveland was then President, and upheld the hand of his commissioner in his attitude of righteousness in the public service. Somewhat later photographic identification was required for each applicant to prevent fraudulent impersonation, as frequently required by law, harmed, and helpful innovation has served the vicious purpose of effectively shutting out the colored race from entering the classified service. When the service Commission, when called upon, must certify to the appointing officers of the several departments of the government three of the four photographs. When the photograph in hand these appointing officers always reject the applicant whose face shows pigmentation, register, or other marks that these cases have been known where a candidate with concealed pigmentation has been cited for appointment, and then turned down on reporting closer inspection revealed the trace of color which the photograph did not isolate. Although in the earlier years hundreds of the race qualified under the competitive test and received appointment to the race today, after our schools and colleges have greatly improved in facilities and methods of instruction, scarcely any of the off-colored group took course in the clerical grade. The ranks of the colored clerks are gradually fading. Thousands have been reduced to hundreds; and hundreds will soon be reduced to tens. A lot of the without intake must soon run dry. A knowing friend who keeps in touch with inside information advised me the other day that three hundred colored clerks in the departments at Washington. President Coolidge has given definite assurance to more than 100,000 men going to effectually wipe out racial segregation in the public service. So far we have not been able to discern any direct evidence of his involvement in the office for fifty-five months and has twenty-two months yet to serve. It would be an interesting and enlightening experience, and colored clerks have been withdrawn from the service through resignation, death and retirement during the present incumbency, and had to be replaced by taking the place of those who have fallen out. One wonders if Mr. Coolidge has in his capacity by getting rid of the segregated group. If he is renominated and elected, and if the colored clerical contingency continues to decline, he will have to wait for years as it has during the last quadrennium, there will be no further need of delegations besieging the department in the issue of department segregation. For the past four years, I have been hammer—away, as best I could, on the inquietus injustice of the civil service machinery. I have urged the politicians and statesmen of the race to focus their efforts on this evil. I have urged the Civil Service Reform League, the Civil Service Commission, and the President of the United States to wipe out this moral stigma from the machinery of our national government. No whit abashed. I shall continue to hammer until something gives way. The Civil Service offers a respectable outlet for hundreds of our educated youth, a privilege out of which they are being A cheated by the government itself. The race has become intimidated. Colored—this no longer enter competitive examinations with the fore feel that there will be cheated out—fruits of the effort. I suggested to the Civil Service Bureau to set up a Binet test for photographic identification. The commission rejoined the Binet test to everyone to operate. How long will it take? Against Old Evil Identification Ranks Of Clerks Gradually Fading President Coolidge Does Nothing Four Years Of Hammering And Binet Tests Saturday, May 28, 1977 our high-minded government above the mere incidents of administration to stand in the way of justice and fairness to its citizens. I here and now suggest to our public influence to urge upward Congress to lift the law, such manner that no cuzier to sustain the competitive test shall sustain the competitive test this reward. I shall proceed to draw an amendment to the Civil Service and hope to get some of my friends and hope to get some of my friends houses of Congress to introduce an successful enactment. I beg, however our politicians — I use the term their influence, and take their inside influence, and take their inside of my hands. The laying of egg is of more importance than the hatching thereof. M. W. Chicago Lead It is interesting to note that our two largest cities have placed colored men on our civil service board. Boeheim and Weichert have made such assignments. In the latter case, we are told that the mayor made the assignation the purpose afforethought. The colored man has been flagrantly discriminated against by the city civil service machinery. Mayor Thompson wishes men to be dropped, and places a colored man on the government. The injustice to the colored man is that justice is done his race. Why is this not a reasonable and seasonable suggestion to the mayor to the government. The injustice to the colored man too painfully obvious. It is hard to see how Mr. Coolidge can re-enter with his granite New England Canadian be a capital idea to place a colored man on the commission, whose very presence would insure racial justice? Terrell Suggested Some time ago, when there was a vacancy on the commission which must be filled by a woman, under the name of Mary Church Terrell, the name of any woman in America, white or black. The proposition was made in one of my releases. But I suppose my lack of political sagacity in suggestion to fall short of mitered acceptance as far as I can recall, no influential or politician seconded the motion. The race is a slave to precedent. There are a dozen candidates for the position of Recorder of Deeds in the State of Columbia, and Registrar of the Treasury each incoming administration only reason that can be put forward why the race concentrates on those positions is because some colored man has had them in the past. The racial function or relation. The patriarch of the Treasury has no more relation to the welfare of the Negro race as such than the Astronomer at the Naval Observatory, or a position that is closely related to racial interest and advantage. Why should the race not unite on securing this position which position will give large racial usefulness of large racial usefulness of the gro makes a great many demands of the party of his preference before election and of the administration immediately after election.

But they amounted to less than the scrap of paper upon which they were written. The will now, in advance of nomination and election, must with unified and persistent insistence, upon the righteous amendment of the Civil Service Act which will admit applicants and upon the selection of a colored man for a place on the Civil Service Commission, there is no good reason why we should not both of these patriotic objectives.

The festival was better this year than ever before; and, curiously enough, the very department which heretofore has been something of a drag on the program of a off the wall show, all the honors this time I refer to the elementary schools. "They were really forty" at any slang has it. The first, second and third grades presented a pageant, "The Awakening of Spring". It was built around appropriate spring songs in the course of study for those grades and was presented in pantomime. Another feature was the chorus of virtuosic one- and two-verse choruses of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. As I listened, I thought that that would be the outstanding achievement of the department. I couldn't conceive of anything better done by youngsters of their tender years than performing the wrong. The singing in the cantata, "Hiawatha", by chorus of mixed voices of these intermediate grades set the highwater mark for the department. To begin with, the kiddies were thoroughly imbued with the spirit of compassion, who selected it shares, knows childhood. The interaction was remarkable. The children used varying one qualities express varying situations. Their attack and release of phrases was surprising. The parts, too, were well balanced, allos stood out prominently, yet not too prominently, against sopranos. Finally, the was petered. The little printed folder with the words of the score was needed except to tell one in advance what it was all about. The intrinsic ability of the four children who were cast as the stel- lar characters was entirely up to the rest of the production. All in all, the effort was a triumph for Llewellyn Wilson who is respon- sible for the advance in music in our school. It was a triumph for Achil Kulloh, Aba Jackson, and Ruth McAbeo, who organized, direct FOR WHITE.

It was a triumph for the elementary school teachers who shared with the supervisors, the responsibility of training the children, and who looked after getting the children to rehearsals, keeping them reasonably quiet, and so on. It was a triumph for the parents who co-operated so graciously and so effectively with the school. Finally, it was a triumph for the children themselves. "God bless 'em, everyone." The junior high schools sang at a decided disadvantage. They had selected some very difficult part songs and the choruses gave all evidence of very thorough training in the singing of those songs; but they were handicapped by being too far removed from the piano. On Winters Day, the choir performed at Dunbarton School, and the "Don Juan Minuet" (Mozart) by the Booker T. Washington School, were given with pleasing effect and merit special commendation in view of the circumstance the elder I mean — and to Carrie Smith belongs the credit for the success of these features. "The Bergar Prince" given by Douglass HI to make secure their athletics for another season, was a success artistically and financially. May Miller, Yolande DuBois and one other faculty member collaborated on the design of a plot which adapted itself to lyrics from outstanding musical successes of the professional stage. Thomas harris had the title role with Annie Brown playing opposite him. They were both very well cast and, of course, Annie's singing did much to get the thing over. I cannot, however, overlook Annie's little sister, Heinrieta who had a comeback. She was probably the best thing in the show. She was so natural! Robinette Male, however, ran her a close second. The setting, the costuming, and the dancing were very good; altho it especially liked the Floradora Sextet, for the dancing and the Rose Bate. Her good music and the brightest spot was a male chorus of the first act. They were costumed as sailors. As individuals, Louise Coleman was conspicuous for dancing; and her sister, for the exquisite butterfly costume which she wore. New Munyau's fine sense of stage direction was evident throughout the production. The undergraduate chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at Morgan College, gave a subscription whist tourney last Wednesday at the home of the Wes Harrison and Gunther Thomas, one of the members. There were twelve tables. Elizabeth Nengou scored highest among the women, Odessa Smith was next, and Miss Moore: matron at the College, was third. Josephine Fields received the Charles Pinderhughes won top honors among the men, with a Mr. Fowlkes as runner-up. Mr. Wheatley of Morgan, was the third most fortunate man, since the "booby" went to him. She was a gay well planned affair and I was hoping that as a result the treasury of the chapter has increased amazingly. The Phi Delta Kappa Sorority members were hostesses at a subscription tea, given Sunday after afternoon at the home of Soror Bertia Pennington.

The economic conditions in their respective families are such that the income always lags behind the outgo, and the youngsters faced the prospect of going out into the work force. It was the outlook for these kiddies until the sorority attempted to help them make a go of it. the girls, planned their recreation, etc. Now, the older one of them is graduating from the junior school as the ranking member of her class, and the proceeds from the Sunday tea will be used to equip her for the occasion.

He may have pimples on the face or back, dark circles under the eyes, coated tongue, feet and hands perspire. He feels that he has lived an irregular life, and lacks the feeling of manly pride that every normal man should possess.

Y. - Hitting the ball to all parts of the park, the Harrisburg Giants defeated the Lincoln Giants two games in their first appearance at the Protectory Oval Sunday, 9 to 4 and 13 to 5. Montalvo Out The loss of Montalvo, the big Cuban outfielder, seemed to have caused the local team to go into a batting slump, and except for George Washington, the Lincoln were way off their form at the bat. In the first game Carter, pitching for Harrisburg, had the entire team at his mercy, allowing but 4 hits for the game, one being a home run by Johnson, the Lincoln centerfielder. Carter Injured While at bat in the eighth inning Carter was hit with a pitched ball by Dudley and so badly injured the ball because of the one-sidedness of the game up to this point, it was called by agreement. Since the Lincoln did not get a bat in the eighth inning, he was out seventh, and this prevented the two home runs—one by Beckwith and the other by "Frats" Jenkins—together with a three-base hit by Oscar Charlton the batting average these players. Gisentaner was on the mound for the Lincolns and was relieved by Dudley in the fifth inning. Netter was to check the heavy hitting ball. Second Game The home team led the visitors in the second game until the seventh inning, when Charleston's two baggers and a sacrifice fly by Perez gaveth them three runs. The next play was relieve Craig in the next inning and stop the scoring but he was so wild Henderson had to take his place for the final inning. Four of the Lincoln's five runs came in the first inning when Scales hit a home run with three men on the bags. Bees Down Hilldale NORFOLK.

The pitching of McLeod for the locals and Roye for the visitors, was super, and an error in the seventh inlay by Lawless, at third base, gave the Howard team the odds as they could tree tails to break a 3 to deadlock. Howard scored in the second when Walker singled to center, went to second on first when Wright let one pass him advancing Wright to third, and Roye scored to score two men. Morgan came back in their half of the field when Wright was safe on an infield hit. He stole second and scored when Lomax threw wild into centerfield. Ninety-nine balls were nally. Stole second and went to third when Gillian let Codwell's toss to catch Wright on an infield hit get away from him, when Turnin got third on a pass ball and Chase scored.

Page Sixteen MORE FIRST BAPTIST (Continued from page 1) Instate the deposed deacons, the pastor is expected to resign as it was the choice between the pastor the deacon board that forced the issue on the night of the eventful meet- Deacons Will Be Fired Should the decision be favorable to the pastor there is little doubt that the opposing deacon only does not institution, but will also drop from the membership on the ground that any member of the Baptist church who takes the church into court loses his rights as a judge. Several issues are to be considered by the judge, before he reaches his decision. Whether a meeting properly announced and out in accordance with the laws of the church. Second, whether it is necessary to give the deposed deacons a chance to their dismissal. Third, whether deacons should be elected at a special meeting set for that purpose or if they can be elected or deposed on a similar business basis by the church. BEV GREENE TAKES STAND The Rev. Albert J. Greene took the stand in his own defense at 3:30 today. He said that he has been a pastor for 20 years and is now the first Sunday in February 1921. He said that when he took up his pastorate, he found nine deacons on the board. From time to time, he increased that board to thirteen. That he found continual wrangling among the old deacons and that the Deacon Miller was the ring leader of the agitation against him. On a number of occasions he nearly became the branded Deacon Miller as being objectionable, nagging and continually creating an ugly feeling in the board meeting. FOUR OBJECTORS He said that allied with him were three other deacons who were opposed. Entermenting them he said that they objected to the installation of the budget system, objected to the use of the budget system in paying missionary funds, and also objected to the hiring of paid missionaries to work among the influx of colonists in the East Baltimore section. On every occasion when he sought funds to go on trips he was denied by Deacon Miller caused a great deal of trouble over railroad rates. EXPLAINS CLERICAL RATES Pastor Greene, when called upon to explain why he charmed the church full rates when he went on conventions instead of the and fare conventions, he be called the clerical clerestar that the clerical rates were an agreement between the minister and the railroad and that the church or organization, which he represented, be called the clerical. He said that as far as the church was concerned, he was paying the same rates as the lay delegates because he was the clerical. The clerical rates he forcited all his rights to sue the railroad in case of any accident or any inconvenience that he might suffer. This agreement did not mention the institution, but to the pastor individually. DIFFERENT BILLS In explaining the different bills and loans which the church paid him, he said that in 1829 he accepted a loan he had lost that amount when the Taylor-Jenkins Bank failed. He agreed to pay this money back after he had paid the loan to the house. These payments have not been completed and the church has not pressed him for the money and he has not yet paid back the full amount. In discussing the case where the church paid $75 for him through Mr. Browne, he said he was seated by him in court in his favor and he was ordered not to pay it. The church hearing that Yarbough upon paying this against his wife and advice. This is one of the items that Deacon Miller brought up in his testimony when he was on the stand as he had paid the pastor owed the church. Telephone Bill After a rigid cross examination the deacon met the greater part of two days, the Green left the witness stand at two oclock Monday. The pastor denied the deacon board had asked the deacon board to pay his telephone or garage bill. This matter was settled, said, but one member had asked an opinion on the matter when the deacons met in a joint meeting with the deacon board, deciding the budget for the year. Have $6,000 Budget Archie Hawkins, counsel for the deacons, asked the pastor to explain why a church of only 900 members of limited means should have a buddy group. Judge Stanton after a moment's figuring declared that this was only fifteen cents per week a member. He asked if he thought that the opposition to some of his plans by the deacons was sufficient: cause to oust them from their positions. Rev Mr. Greene deacons declared that because he had made special preparation for the pastorate while they had not been especially trained to be deacons and he felt that in view of this they should abide by the suggestions of the pastor instead of opposing him. Why They Could Not Pray Why They Could Not Pray In explaining what happened, we were told they prayed in church after they instituted suit, the pastor declared that the laws of the Baptist church provided that if any member engaged the church in the action, that member would be required to apologize in the spiritual activities of the church. On the night of December 23, on which the deacons were turned out of office, the pastor was sent out of the church was responsible for the action. He told the congregation, he declared, that he had suffered possession at the church, and that he had ever since he had been called to the church and he had reached the point where patience ceased to be a virtue. He requested them that he must pastor to give the deacon board an honorable discharge and permit him to select a new board with whom he could work peacefully and successfully. The church granted his request and both motions were carried out. Shook Fist In Face Deacon Baily Brooks is said to have taken exception to this ruling and demanded a hearing after the motion had been acted upon. The pastor, who was presiding, ruled him out of the order. At this point the deacon is said to have shaken his fist in the pastor's face and told him that he himself was out of order for bringing such a matter before the church without the permission of the deacon board. On several previous occasions the pastor had made a similar suggestion to the deacon board, he declared, for them to vote themselves out of office and permit the church to reflect the desirable members with what additions they saw fit. They asked him if he thought they were crazy to do such a thing. The course he took was the only way the matter could have been put to the congregation. Action Final When asked if he refused to call a meeting to allow the dismissed deacons to put their case before the Court, Greene declared that he emphatically did. In explaining this action he stated that after the action had been taken against him, he would not meet him in his study and requested that he announce another meeting to re-consider the matter. He told deputy commissioners that they could get seven members of the congregation who voted them out to ask for such a meeting he would do, and he committed to obtaining it, as he considered the action as final. Object To Missions The deacons always raised a bow of protest, he declared, whenever the time came to pay over the money he owed to the church. This work. This fund was collected separately from the money for operating expense of the church, he declared, in the duplex court side of the envelope printed in black went to the church itself but the money placed in the side was sent to the Foreign Mission Board for distribution for education and other benevolences. The deacons, except separately, declared, one being known as the church's money and the other as the Lord's money. When time comes to turn over the money, the deacons always objected, he declared, and wanted to use the money for their own needs. The Lord's Money Mr. Hawkins asked why was it that the pastor objected to the deacons using the Lord's money for the treasury, but then he promised him his full railroad fare out of that fund for him to make the reports in Philadelphia, while it only cost him half fare, so did he. He answered that the law provided that the expenses of the pastor were to be taken out of this fund when he was on business, and that the half fare rate was not made to the Mission Board but to him as an individual. Rev. Junius Gray On Stand After the defense closed case by counsel, the court thirteen witnesses if called upon would testify that the meeting of January 23, which ousted the deacons, the business of that meeting was carried on according to parliamentary practices, and that the deacons were in regular order to shorten the trial, the plaintiff's attorneys accepted the offer. In rebuttal the Rev. Junius Gray, a pastor of Saint Baptist Church was called to the stand to deny the assertion made by the Rev. D. G. Mack that he had turned out his money for the treasury. Rev. Mr. Gray stated that he had The Afro-American—Baltimore. Md.-South's Biggest and Best Weekly Incidents Like This Do Not Help Baltimore As A Convention City Picture 1. The American Federation of Musicians agreed to hold its 32nd meeting at the Southern Hotel with the understanding there was to be no jim crow. not only turned out the deaconess board but also every officer in the church, but he had given them three notice, prior to the action. The Rev. J. P. McCormick, white, pastor of Baptist Church, Linden and North Avenue, witness for the deacons, declared that he deacons had been for 40 years, some with and some without constitution or by laws. When asked if it was necessary for the pastor to leave the deacons deacons that had to move them he, deacons requested the pastor to delay action until the deacons had been properly notified he would have been bound to do so until at the meeting to act at once without this notification, the pastor was within his rights by putting them out at that meeting. PASTOR COULD BE OUSTED Any member of the congregation that he put out and the position of pastor be declared vacant, declared Rev. Mr. McCormick, and if the church upon it he would have to step down witness for the plaintiffs but his testimony was decided in favor of the defendants as was that of the Rev. Dr. John M. Day. also whistle pastor of the Seventh Baptist Church once took the stand Tuesday morning. There is no such thing, declared Rev Day, as the Baptist denomination, each church to deny to any other church except by its own selection. There is an agreement, merely in theory that in case of a dispute and a fight, the council of sister churches and settle the affair in this manner and not by seeking relief in a court. I will not agree to meet my hearty approval: declared Judge Stanton, "had this case been settled in that manner instead of burdening me with it for years." CAMP MEETING Recess time in the court took on the semblance of an old time camp meeting as many of the members of the church have been. Churches and bologna were much in evidence. The Rev. J. T. Moleck, who it is rumored is preparing to establish a church here, has been court appointed to the location of the church and their friends are said to favor him as their pastor. Many women members of the church have attended a festively session of the church. The heat in the stultry room sometimes becomes unbearable and several have been seen, after removing every other vestment, the deacon's permit, to loosen the lips of their shoes and enjoy the trial in comfort.

I would feel sleepy and stuppe. I didn't feel the pain I wanted to. I heard of Black-Draught and how high it was recommended. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I keep it in the 'house all the time. It keeps me in splendid shape." Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisonous substances have been added into the system instead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and much relief has been found, in many cases, by seeing to it that the bowels act regularly and freely every day. They should be taken as often as necessary to open the bowels and put them in a healthy state of daily activity. COLORED USE TREIGHT ELEVATOR IN REAR ALRIGHT CUT OUT THE JIM CROW OR WE QUIT THOM B.

MILAN, ITALY — Although the Italian language is almost so much Greek to me I am beginning to feel quite at ease in the Italian Italy has its North and South, and it also has Fascism. The Northern Italian believes himself superior to the Southern one and from the standpoint of intellectual and commercial development he is. In the words of a resident American with whom he had a long chardonnay they seem to be appreciate faces. South versus North In this part of Italy it is almost as easy to get a hearing against the Southern Italian as it is to get one against the Japanese. I was in the South or the Jew New York. In a conversation with a number of young Fascists I praised Northern Italy, and then referred to the condition, when what he said from him said about South Italians in general made me feel quite at home. Mankind, everywhere, has its little hates, and seems to be as uncomfortable as anyone else. I had maid who can find nothing to complain about. In Milan Milan. too — a very old city — has its spots almost as bad as Naples but it is commercial and manufacturing centre of about 700,000 population. Its chief business district is in appearance with that of any of our great American cities, not to mention the fact that it is handsome and more archaic than America. Cathedral Seats 40,000 The chief building of Milan is the Duomo, or Cathedral, that is the most beautiful of the city. It is very ornate on the outside, with its 4,500 columns and statues of 3,000 And the interior! If I compared the pillars of the Dumbo at Florence to the trunks of the giant trees in California, the pillars I like are Milan? The fact it seats 40,000 will give some idea of its size. Mussolini It is my purpose to devote the rest of this article — my last on Italy to the nation's leaders — to just a word about Genoa, the great shipping centre in which I spent a day. Genoa, it is a city recalled, is the ancient city of Christopher Columbus, to whom there is a monument in front of the railroad station. It gave Augustine a name, the same beams derived from Amerigo Vesperius, the Florentine navigator. Another, vertigine, Vesperius, discovered the Battery Bay. Visitors to the Battery in New York will recall his sature here. Mussolini, II Duce (The Chief), the other man, that made me feel sad, as I said, was Fascism, or should I say Mussolini. I have been through the arduous journey to Harlan in 1822, and I have but to shut my eyes and ears to color, to issues, and watch human conduct to hear the same old tung song to different Not that there is any storm of discussion here now — I got that impression by reading back — for Pascim is in saddle, and it seems like a one-way street, and it consists of those who walk in Naples, on which you if attempt to walk in the other direction you'll be quickly chased by a black-shirted policeman. Mussolini No Cheese All Italy loves Mussolini and speaks well of him. As I said in another article I soon learned that he had better love him well and tell him well. A few months ago a smart young American got himself into a peck of trouble here. In an argument with a car owner, he thought Mussolini was "a big cheese" or words to that effect. To find out what some Italian really like Mussolini or Fassbender term you prefer, one must get out of Italy. One might take a chance and speak a part of him, but several Americans, and English and French persons with whom I have talked over it's worth one's life to say anything against him in the smaller towns. Fascism Like Ku Klux Fascism. What about Fascism that had a familiar ring to me is that the charges against it, most of which are true, read very much like the history of the Kiss. Recently I interviewed him, invoking the invasion and destruction of private homes, the raiding and burning of newspaper offices, and other outrages. And somehow, just as in the case of the Racers, the Russians never happen to be around, or are powerless to deal with the situation. In one year 26 anti-Fascists are killed and been assassinated, a number being Mussolini's leading component. Mantello. Press Muzzled At present no newspaper is permitted, to print any opinion hostile to Musolini: he is not permitted in the draft which was abolished has been revived; jazz is not permitted — a reason why colored Americans are very scarce in Italy, dancing to a minimum, and work is the order of the day. The Duce, a tireless worker, aims to have all Italy following his example.

Mead Cycle Company Dear, Chicago ted is church-going, and it is said the Duce would have a finger in that pie, too, but the church is too strong, a challenge, and earlier days he was also anti-clergy. Barbelles Must Wed One law of his that will be of interest to the ladies is that all men over twenty-five must marry or pay their dues, and the clergy say that the tax which is about ten dollars a year is cheap at any price? It seems to me that one on the single ladies must pay the tax. The Duce is also against beards, which, of course, makes a hit with the barbers. King, Not Important Yes, Italy is Mussolini, and Mussolini is also against the Duce. The Duce is also against beards, which, of course, there's a king but he seems about as important as one of those hen-pecked husbands one sees in the picture of himself and the Duce are posted all over the kingdom. In this picture the king is shown as being taller than a muskox, as Barbelles would call it a muskoxel would call it a muskoxel for it is almost impossible to be shorter than the king. He is such a man that heears heeds heeds heeds understand, an inside heel, too. Mussolini is the perfect example of a man who has reversed himself. Before the war, he had served sentenances in the prisons of five European nations against capitalism and militarism. Now he is the spokesman of capital. He, like the Pope, also opposes Presenssaryism. He said, recently, as regards free speech: "Be it known, once for all that Pascasian knows no idols, worships no fetishes. It has already stepped and I need to step once more, over the more or less putrid body, of the goddess, Liberty." Once A Socialist Match those with the following uttered while he was a Socialist: "It is necessary that side by side with the other side be side with the side with those who exalt the army; those who dey it; side by side with those who acclaim our bourgeois society; those who would fain demolish the clashes of views, strife, - Unanimity, uniformity, spell brains and death. Strife is the origin of all things." On the other hand almost every resident foreigner with whom I have talked agrees that Mussolini has been the most involved in推进 the railroads, now all efficiently run under government ownership; cleaned up the cities in comparison with what they are; bettered Italy has an illiteracy rate higher than that of the Mississippi Negro, or Georgia poor-saved; saved the way of the mark, and in short, restored order out of the chaos that followed the Versailles treaty.

Saturday, May 28, 1927 Capital Broadcast By MARY CHURCH TERRELL (Continued from Page One) But Not 14th As one of the evening sessions a speaker delivered an address on "Upbuilding the Constitution" in which he referred in the most scathing terms to citizens who violate the Vestfold State who the Supreme Court and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell handed in following question: "Why does the United States Government spend millions enforcing the 18th amendment, while it spends nothing and makes no effort to enforce the 14th" of the Constitution, the president of the league happened to be the chairman who was answering questions that morning. She began by saying, "Mrs. Terrell has asked a question which I cannot answer. And another she launched forth into the most emphatic denunciation of the methods used to deprive colored people of their right of citizenship and the opinion that it would not be long before ways and means could be found to that 14th amendment that this right would be restored. Hiring A Husband According to an old law "There is ground law under the sun." And see the bargain made by a California woman with a man she hired and paid by the month to be the wife, now it is certainly worth thing to it. The lady's name is too long and unpronounceable to write. And, after all, what difference does a name make anyhow? The letter which the lady wrote to the young Russian prince, who consented to the marriage because he had been born by the Revolution and had an aged mother to support, read like this: "I consent to pay you during the existence of both of us $20 a month, but if there is a divorce I will pay you only $125 monthly during your life." Amce, that is the lady's first name, wanted to have the title "princess" tacked to her name, and the young prince, from the young prince that the marriage would be one in name only, she was perfectly willing to pay $250 a month for the sake of becoming a "noble-born" A Divorce Now But now Aimee is sitting young Prince Mistiah Galatzine for a divorce and that gentleman, who says he would never have consented to the terms if he had not been so hard up, is fighting it tooth and nail. Successfully recovered the Prince will receive only half of what he has been paid—and $15 a month is not enough spending charge for his Royal Highness. The servants say that the prince arose at 1 p.m., was served a good lunch, then salried forth in a motor car provided by his wife (in name only) and returned home to eat a good dinner, after which he left and did not respawn the early hours of the mornings. But one of the things which the prince said made Aimee of California very mad indeed. She told him that her father was a judge, whereupon His Royal Highness turned up his princely sense of humor, strangely "American judges are not very much." One awaits the outcome of this famous divorce case with batted breath. The Primaries Are The Thing The meeting of the National League of Republican Colored Women which recently held a three-day session in Washington was a success from every point of view, marked by the presence of milestone women and the progress of colored women. Reduced to their lowest terms the topics discussed concerned what we should do in politics and how we should do it. It was the consensus of opinion that it is the duty of colored women to be nominated in the primaries and then to do something in their power to elect them. The delegates to the political conference discussed the questions presented for their consideration like the importance of the race. It would have been a revelation to the average man, if he could have heard the clearness and the conciseness with which the women expressed their points of view and the earnestness with which they stated them. The interest which intelligent colored women are having in our superior well for the future.

Cover with a tight lid or waxed paper to prevent evaporation. Eggs may be cooked in many ways. Take our recipe and the scrambled eggs. Try adding a cup of grated American cheese to the eggs, before putting them in the pan. Chopped bolted ham can be added to the eggs to make a gravy. The cup of chipped beef may be mixed with the eggs or a quarter cup of tomatoes may be mixed with the eggs before scrambling. Bain omelet can be variegated by adding some of these ingredients: ground ham, tongue, any ground meat, grated cheese, cooked tomatoes. One cup of crab meat, cooked and a little cream sauce added to a plain omelet is good. Some of the meat can be used to garnish the dish. Stuffed eggs are dandy for outings. Boil six eggs, set aside to cool. When cold, remove the shell, cut the eggs in two pieces and remove the yolk. Add half cup of cream, some chopped ham or tongue, pepper and salt to taste. Mix with fork into a smooth white sauce, then add the white of the eggs. Join the two halves together. If wanted hot, neat in the oven. Serve with cream sauce or tomato sauce. Eggs baked with ham are good. Line a small baking dish with six slices of cooked ham. Spread with mustard. Pour some tomato casump up over the ham, one tablespoon in each. Iodine drops break the yolk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and small lumps of butter. Bake in a moderate oven for five minutes or until the eggs are set.

Are The Bunk Le the dear ladies who spend a great deal of money beautifying themselves beware lest they get hold of something which may have the opposite effect. Some of the patent preparations on the market are not dangerous, according to an educational exhibit arranged by the American Medical Society which has recently not in Washington. Analysis of one of the nostrums advertised to "beautify the complexion, whiten the skin and remove blackheads, tan and freckles" shows that it is only a small amount of pound of Epsom salts costs 15 cents in the drug store, while one pound of this famous toilet preparations cost $2.72. A "SURE CURE FOR DANDRUFF" WHICH SELLS AT $48 A GALLON is nothing but a mixture of kerosene, quinine, alcohol, water and a perfume which can easily be made for 20 minutes of beauty that is not effect upon dandruff whatsoever. Oriental Recipe Mostly Water A facial beautifier purporting to be made from an "oriental recipe" is nothing but a mixture consisting of an ounce of calomel to a pint of water. The doctors exhibiting this declare that it is not only worthless but also dangerous. A freckle remove is described as dangerous, because it contains ammoniated mercury which is poison. A hair dye which contains a silver salt that turns dark in the presence of organic matter when exposed to the light may permanently injure the skin if it is dried. Various hair removers are shown in the exhibit which may really remove hair from the skin, as they claim, but which also remove the skin at the same time without mentioning that little fact to the public at all. The doctors who arranged this interest warn women against beauty preparations on general principles, unless they are endorsed by some reputable authority. Truly ignorance is bliss. At Child Birth Speaking of doctors reminds me that at last a method of combining and injecting two anesthetics has been discovered not only which eliminates all pain at child birth but takes care of all pain for several days after the event. It is only a method known to science which provides absolute relief from pain without causing the patient to lose consciousness. Surely this should be good news to women all over the world without regard to race or condition. They have been made for a long time to find a method of pain relief which could be used in the average home by the family physician and especially in country districts where the doctor can only see the patient once every three or four days. This new method is so useful that problem. But it is difficult to persuade physicians to use it, because it is so simple.

Here is the experience of one boy: "Dear Editor: About the only cooking I can do is frying eggs and making coffee and toast. One evening when I returned from school with the usual appetite, I found everyone had one out, and happily did something that eat, I found what I thought was an egg that mother had broken and left in a saucer. Getting the skillet, I put in some butter and dumped in my find. I wondered why it did not cook and what I had done. I had been trying to fry an apricot, the apricot and juice looked exactly like an egg. WILLIAM READ." WILLIAM READ,¹ Now get busy with your cooking experience and write a book.

Frey's Vermifuge Expels Worms In the first month we sold over 1,000,000 loaves RICE'S PAY-LOOKY BREAD Copyright, 1927, by The City Baking Co. Butter and Cottage Cheese HERE'S TO AN UNKNOWN HERO! BY LILIAN LOTTIER This world isn't such a bad place after all. And humanity with its faults and defects, its degradations and sinning, its selfishness and cruelties has its moment of noble deeds and victorious achievement. If there is a recording angel who takes account of the actions of us mortals here below, then this week he turned to gold, and his deed is dipped his pen in molten gold, and wrote down to his eternal honor and credit a deed of real bravery and heroism. I know not what else is on that page. Perhaps it is marred and scarred with much sinning, with ugly human passion and the hideousness of his own gold, and capable. Perhaps the page is dark indeed, for this man of whom I write is a convict,—a convict serving life for murder. However, I do know that in the midst of all the sin and shame and sorrow and darkness and ugness, his golden deed, but of redeeming virtue. Down where the treacherous Mississippi sends its devastating, death-dealing floods of angry waters lapping at the levees, and the enormous cities, things have come to a pretty desperate pass. So desperate that convicts from Louisiana's State Penitentiary are being used to work on the levees. Practically impossible, but the heroic against the tremendous flow of water which threatens the lives and properties of thousands and thousands. Guards cannot be spared to watch that because they also are needed to work on the levees. So, it means that Louisiana is placing 600 of her prisoners on their honor. It is up to 600 criminals to keep faith with the state, up to 600 of her prisoners, with all that means, to work hard all day in "places threatened by the flood, where a sudden crevasse would endanger their lives," and then report at night to their plantation bargain, to his shuffled, and make no effort to escape. I wonder how many of our respected, law.abiding — presumably, at least, citizens could stand this strain upon their will power, could pass this test of their honor. Think of the temptation which stalks hourly by the side of these men as they bend to the breast — breath — to toll. Think, how alluringly freedom must beckon to them—a chance for liberty, for happiness. For some chastened ones, a chance to begin all over again, to live a new, a Ah, me! The best of us would go down under such a strain, the strongest of us would stifle our consciences and yield to such a temptation. This is true. We are true conditions of living. How much more so is it true in abnormal times when unusual conditions sap moral energies and weaken moral fiber? Yes, a big test this, for 'the best of us during the best of conditions, Downs 600 miles to the sea. There has been but one escape. Listen! "Only one escape has occurred—a Negro serving life for murder got away at Donaldsonville one night. THE NEXT HE WAS IN THE CAMP FWD SHAMEFACEDLY ASKED FOR HIS SHOEVL HE HAS BEEN WORKING SINCE." That's what the account said—just a few simple words. But, oh! what a story they tell between the lines. Can't you read it, and don't you place it? Put yourself in this poor man's place. First, a Negro in the south. Think what that probably means. No doubt a humble birth, meager training, little or no opportunity, thwarted ambitions, the debasing filth of oppression and prejudice. Then crime—perhaps a crime for which he if legally was not morally responsible, conviction — perhaps with the usual mockery of a trial accorded persons of color in the southland, — the penitentiary with the horrors that cling to the very name. The crime comes a chance to escape, a chance to put one over on these heartiest, pale-faced people with their cruel, crushing color-complex, a chance for liberty and perhaps a few crumbs, of honor. Only a fool could resist only an idiot who throw away such a golden opportunity. Can't you, visualize the battel that must have raged in this man's soul? Can't you visualize the battle that cepting and rejecting the idea—one moment recklessly yielding, one dom's persistent call for next influenced by the still small voice of a conscience which whispered of hon- The hardest battles that have ever been fought have been those waged against the good and evil in the human heart. — fought on on the battle ground of the human soul.

HARVEY BUNCH SCORES ON KEITH TIME The Running Wild Song Birds, female quartette, managed by Georgette Harvey, of international reputation, is scoring a big success in the theatres in and around New York. Last week the four appeared at the Capitol theatre. Union City, New Jersey, stops the show at every performance. The routine opens with "Dixie Bound in the Morning", a new hit by Chris Smith, and with its novelty effects and unexpected harmonies, bring; down the house. Lillian Cowan, first soprano, warbles "Sancee Gain to Miss" and "Happy Water" follows with the (just now) appropriate "Muddy Water". Misses Cowan and Williams' duet on "So Blue", and round it into a "Happy Old World" with the ensemble. The obligate in this number is an earopener. "You're Goin' to Miss" and "Happy Water" comes into "Block Bottom". The act is presented in snappy costumes from contrasting tissue ginghams to flashy black and white satin tuxes. This is the only female quartette presenting an act all to itself.

Voters have also turned their attention to the city administration, which is behind Davis, cited as a Nolo case, the outcome is being closely watched. With $83,331 in cash and pledges in hand, the Harlem Branch of the F. M. C.
