GIRL TELLS HER EXPERIENCE IN WHITE SLAVEDEN
18 Year Old Miss Taken When Police Raid Penna. Ave. House
Tired Girls Drenched With Cold Water When They Fall Asleep
What is said by police to be one of the worst vice rings for the transportation and enslaving of young girls was broken up when Sarah and William Chambers were arrested by Northwestern District authorities, Monday.
The arrest followed a raid on the home of the pair at 1008 Pennsylvania avenue which is branded as a white slave depot. 19 old Estella Williams of Newport, News, Va., who was perceived from a life of prostitution told police how she had been persuaded to come to Baltimore by the Chambers woman on the promise of a good job and ever since her arrival has been held a prisoner in the home said, but who was perceived to the desires of male frequenters of the place. According to Sergeant Moore, who conducted the raid, the place has been under suspicion of the police for some time. On several occasions the place has been raided but the illegal practices could be obtained.
The police produced a valuable witness in the person of Miss Dorothy Matthews, 20.624 W. Hoffman street, who declared two years ago she was brought to Baltimore. Chambers woman at Harbor News was forced to submit to similar prosecutions until she escaped from the home.
Tells Of Life
Miss Matthews related vividly the outrages perpetrated against the girls. Money received for illicit relationships with girls in the home was paid to Mrs. Chambers who fed and clothed the girls alone then cryed for privacy whenever they were accompanied by either Chambers or his wife. When they fell asleep during the day, the girls were doused with cold water. They were never given more than 60 cents at a time. Miss Matthews stood her hold in bondage about two weeks and escaped when she found friends willing to aid her until he could obtain employment.
The Chambers couple who was represented by Roy S. Bond, attorney for the firm, committed for the action of the grand jury in $1,000 bond each.

Wilson Declines To Sign $30,000 Elks' Bond
DENIES PORTERS' BLACK ENGINEER CASE HAS BEEN DOES $2,500,000 "THROWN OUT" COLLEGE PLANT
WASINGTON, D. C.-Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson has declined to sign a $30,000 surety bond permitting the Elks' convention to meet in New York. As reported in the AFRO last week Elks in New York requested a ruling from carrying the convention to Cleveland. At that time Grand Legal Advisor Perry W. Howard, of the Order of Elks, proposed to have the New York lodges plantation in the proceeding at Newark, execute a surety bond for $30,000 to indemnify the grand officers in event of arrest for violating the Gratian Law, an injunction, should the convention be held in New York. Representatives of the New York lodges were willing to offer such a signed guarantee except J. Dalmus Steele, of Manhattan Lodge. Wilson, however, refused his signature.

NEW YORK (By telegram to the AFRO)-A. Phillip Randolph, organizer of the Pullman Porter's Union denied the report that the Union's application to be officially recognized as a representative of the Pullman porters and through the Board of Mediation has been thrown out by the Board of Mediation.
Randolph quoted the following telegram signed by John Marriman and dated July 2nd: "This office is not responsible for unfortunate statements in press referred to in your telegram." "The matter submitted by your organization remains under consideration by this Board."
WASHINGTON, D. G. BY ANP—The newspapers of this city printed a story about morning to the effect that the case of the so-called Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters thought to be organized by A. Phillip Randolph, had been thrown out by the United States Board of Mediation because the member of the board lacked such authority. Governor Edward Morrow, of Kentucky, is the chairman, found no ground for intervention on their part, and Randolph did not represent the Pullman porters.
The action of the board came after nearly two years of pronounced infaction and elaborate preparation on the part of Randolph and a group of self-styled radicals who had associated themselves with him.

BLACK ENGINEER DOES $2,500,000 COLLEGE PLANT
Iowa U. Grad Now Big Western Contractor
Archie A. Alexander, of Des Moines, a young colored engineer, has just completed the erection of a $2,500,000 central-heating plant for the University of Iowa.
This marks the conclusion of contracts worth $5,000,000 in twelve years by Alexander. In commenting upon the successful career of this young engineer, "The Gazette-Re-publican article" published at Cedar Rapids, Iowa says:
"Fifteen years ago the University of Iowa awarded the degree of bachelor of science in engineering to a young Negro. Starting in 1815 in a field practically closed to his race, he won the front row, improving recognized as one of the leading contracting engineers in Iowa and the Midwest.
For two years after his graduation from Iowa, he worked as a designing engineer for a Denver company. Then he became a contracting engineer, getting small paying jobs at the start, but gradually improving his field until now he has built many bridges, viaducts, sewage systems and buildings, including the central-heating plant. Practically all of the skilled workmen on Alexander's jobs are white men and their comments on their boss give a direct commentary on his work, with a manander goes about his jobs with a pack of blue prints in his hands and a gleam in his eyes as he directs the rearing of a monument to himself that will outlast even the memorial to his class."
It will be recalled that is is the same Alexander that be me the first of a great trio of Negro tackles on the University of Iowa football team.

New Electric Chair Ready
To Be Tried Out Must
Wait 30 Days
KIENZI B. LEMUS
WASHINGTON, D. C.—
Fast and excellent work by
Louis R. Lautier, AFRO
special Washington correspondent, C. Lucien Skinner
and attorney John H. Wilson virtually snatched Philip Jackson from the electric chair here at the "11th hour."
Jackson was found guilty in May of assaulting a white woman in the grounds of the Capitol early in the spring. His acts were extremely brutal and bore all the earmarks of an abnormal person. Because Jackson was fundless and friendly, the court assigned Attorney John H. Wilson to defend him. Mr. Wilson ably and vigorously defended but was convicted. He was sentenced to die—the first in Washington's new electric chair, as there have been no executions since the callows was discarded.
Lautier Gets Tip
Influential and affluent Negro Washington went its way, arrangements for the condemned man's funeral were being made when Mr. Laustier was given a "lift" in the auto of the District Jail Warden at the chauffeur and learned that Philip Jackson is the son of a brother and sister. The information was passed on to Mr. Skinner, whose force is achieving the "impossible." Skinner got necessary affidavits and in touch with Attorney Wilson. They went before Justice A. A. Hoehling of the District Supreme Court and sought a stay of presentation, Assistant Attorney Collins, bitterly opposed; Mr. Wilson ran rings around the district attorney, however, and Justice Hoehling granted a 30-day stay.
To Test Sanity
Jackson's sanity is to be tested. It is believed that his abnormal traits may be traced to his origin, as it is definitely stated that his father was the brother of his mother, who still survives.
Thus, the work of three men: Leroy Skinner and Wilson, robs Washington of the opportunity to christen its brand-new electric chain with an abnormal Negro and saves the race from the odium of it—at least for thirty days.
Burial arrangements for Jackson had been completed. John T. Rhines, undertakes his hire charge of murders. The War Department had refused permission for the burial of Jackson in Arlington National Cemetery. It ruled that no war veteran who is executed for a criminal offense shall be buried in that sacred ground.
While Attorney Wilson is making his fight against the electric chair, he first intended victim, another fighter is being waged over the disposition of $800 due Jackson as back compensation from the Government.
TWO WILLS
Jackson, it seems, has made two wills. In one he left all his earthly possession to people he had been living. Later he made another will in which he left his money to the aged colored minister, known as David Roberts. Roberts was the District Judge. Should he die before settling this matter, litigation over his estate is like to result.
"BROTHER" ROBERTS
Attorney Wilson is very much opposed to the influence exerted by Brother" Roberts over prisoners. While Jackson was in the cell room awaiting trial, Mr. Wilson discovered "Brother" Roberts talking with him. He told the preacher that if he caught him talking with Jackson again during the trial he would report him to justice. Hoehling.

Afro Advertising Agent Gets Warrants For Four Employees
RESIGNATIONS OF 5 MEN ARE REPORTED
Employees Send Out Letters Charging Firm With Corrupt Business Practice
A big shake-up which may result in the arrest of four of its leading employees on charges of criminal conspiracy and counter charges that corrupt business practices have been discovered by attorneys and auditors developed Tuesday in the advertising firm of W. B. Ziff and Co. of Chicago
The rupture was first revealed when five executives of this firm which handles the bulk of national advertisement for the AFRO and other weekdays for the local newspaper, southeastern newspapers on their list a statement charging the company with corrupt business, announcing their resignations and advising them to hold June payments for advertising.
The company signified this statement were R. B. Hamilton, secretary-treasurer; J. R. Fred Henry, general sales manager; T. M. Bulger, assistant sales manager; M. B. Kernan, manager order department, and G. H. Reeling, solicitor.
The company says Ziff Hard on the heels of this statement followed a letter from W. B. Ziff stating that warrants had been obtained for the arrest of four employees charging them with criminal conspiracy, and that to take the conspiracy for themselves.
According to Mr. Ziff, the conspiracy was nipped in the bud and all business will proceed as usual. The firm has made capable substitution; he says, of all the principals involved, the company could come upon because of illness Ziff, head and owner of the firm, has been away.

NORA HOLT RAY FACES BARRAGE OF CHARGES
Annulment, Bigamy, Divorce, Theft And Misconduct Are Alleged
LURID DETAILS OF LOVE NESTS GUARDED
He Says She Proposed; She Says He Sent Ring Parcel Post
EASTON, PA.—This staid little Pennsylvania town departed from the even tenure of its ways long enough to pack the Northumberland County Court room where the marital affair of the $100,000 Joseph L. Ray and his galavanting wife, the Mrs. Nora Holt Ray, were aired here Tuesday before Judge McKeen.
Thrill seekers were slightly disappointed if their expected to hear the lurid results of raids on his vivacious spouse's Harlem apartments or of their whirlwind romance for while there are two suits pending, one for annulment and one for a divorce on grounds of adultery, the action Tuesday was a strictly equal proceeding for recission and annulment of deeds amounting to $40,000 which he conveyed to his wife following their marriage.
CALLS WIFE BIGAMIST
Mr. Ray's according to his attorney, Mr. T. McKean Chisidye, white, is basing his action on the contention that at the time of his marriage on July 29, 1923 to the then Mrs. Nora Holt, she was not legally married, and second husband, Bruce K. Jones of Chicago. This divorce is not recognized by the state of Pennsylvania, the husband contends because it was obtained by publication although not by Illinois, where the decree was obtained and should have been given an opportunity to contest the suit.
STILL TWICE MARRIED
Mr. Ray contends that she is far as Pennsylvania Laws are concerned Mrs. Ray still married to her former husband who is still alive. From Kansas City, Mo. Mr. Ray brought his lawsuit, attorney, to testify to this fact.
BOTH MUCHLY MARRIED
That both Ray and his titan haired wife were not new at the matrimonial game was divulged on the witness stand when it developed that both had been married three times prior to the present union. Mrs. Ray's first mate was Paul Scroggins, her second Bruce K. Jones over whom the present controversy arises and her third George Holt, whose death left her one of the richest women in Chicago, the deceased holding extensive real property. The marriage of Mr. Ray's former wives was not disclosed it was said that he had lost two by death and one by the divorce route.
ALLEGES THEFT
Ears were pricked and necks were strained when Mr. Ray who had been on the stand under direct and cross examination the greater part of the morning declared that Mr. Holt's visits prior to their marriage he accused her of taking $12,000 worth of jewelry which she carried with her on her return to Chicago. "You proposed to her after this," demanded one of the attorneys., suspecting her of taking this jewelry?"
SHE PROPOSED
Mr. Ray paused for a moment to get the full import of the question then answered sharply making no effort to hide his anger. "No she proposed to me. She even made all of (Continued on Page Three.)

DEATH "RATE"
LOWER IN NORTH
HIGHER IN WEST
WASHINGTON Wyoming leads all other states in Negro death rate, according to a report on mortality statistics prepared by the Office of Public Health of Congress.
Mortality figures show that the death rate has steadily decreased in other states where there has been considerable mitigation, the rate has increased in Idaho, Colorado and Georgia during the period from 1922 to 1992. Figures for the entire country, according to this report, show that the Negro death rate is 1.1 per 100,000 of the population. Figures are not accurate and dependable in the South, which make comparisons uncertain. It is credited with the lowest death rate of any state, it being 12.8 per 100,000 in 1924 and 14.0 in 1924. Kentucky has the highest suicide rate, the lowest, there being no race suicides reported there. The white suicide rate is much higher than the white suicide rate is 28, seven times that of the highest colored state.

SENT RING
Mrs. Ray effectively cowed and visibly bored at the long drawn out questioning with slow precision proceeded to break down her husband's testimony.
She and Ray met before the war. The two of them of each other after this first meeting although she was at this time divorced from Jones.
She during this interval married Holt. They again met and Ray made suit to her, even inviting her to his home before the death of his wife.
RING BY PARCEL POST
She denied that she proposed to Ray but that while riding on an East bound train, to which Mr. Schwab's private was attached, Ray came back to her coach and discussed marriage. He sent in a ring by parcel post. He met the Holthem jeweler where Mr. Ray lives.
MADE NO PROMISE
Mrs. Rav denied that she had been accused of the larceny of jewelry from the Ray home but averred that she had been the recipient of many valuable presents from Mr. Ray. She also related now to the time of her death, that Ray had told her that he was worth $75,000 to $100,000 and was willing to place all of his property in their joint names if she would do the same with her Chicago property. She accepted his promise which he had but made no promises relative to her own property which she did not convey to her husband
The property over which the litigation arose was that located at 1102 Linden street, Bethlehem, which was half owned after their marriage. Mr. Ray wishes to recover clear title to the property. Mr. Ray is a highly respected citizen of that section because he both Bethlehem and Easton. An Afro reporter who called upon him at his bachelor apartment at 402 E. Third avenue Saturday night failed to obtain the right to enter the court. Mr. Ray entertained a number of distinguished guests from California in Easton. It was learned. He and his big Stuart Sedan are well known figures and are highly rich.
STIFF LEGAL FIGHT
Some idea of the calibre of Mr. Ray's battery of legal advisors may be drawn from the fact that T. McKeean Chidsey is a member of the law firm of Kirkpatrick. Maxwell will be appointed as the most exclusive law firms of Eastern Pennsylvania. Kirkpatrick, who was originally retained in the case was recently appointed as the court Judge of the Federal Court of Philadelphia.
When interviewed at his College Hill residence Chidsey declared that they were prepared to prove that Mrs. Ray has been guilty of misuse of money. Clinton in their divorce proceedings, should the suit of annulment fail.
He admitted that the present case depended on a battle of legal minds because while he was acquainted he is not recognized by the state of Pennsylvania the fact that the marriage took place in Ill. where that divorce was obtained and is considering valid must be dealt with.
DENIED ALMONT
Efforts to obtain information concerning Mrs. Ray's legal move were successful when it was impossible to locate her attorney Raymond Pace Alexander at his Philadelphia offices after the trial. Alexander was at Atlantic City and the temporary set back at Tuesday's hearing when Judge McKeen refused to grant Mrs. Ray alimony or issue an order for the payment of counsel fees.
NO DECISION
He will at a later date hear the arguments of the opposing counsel in the case before rendering his decision.
NO DECISION FOR MONTHS
That decision or even the arguments may not be heard until the end of the month. Thomas Hay, clerk of the court, as the proceedings marked the ending of the Spring term and no further hearing during the summer months.

Circulation That Brings Advertisers Results
---
NEURY F. ARNOLD
BY HENRY
Chicago is the daily paper with the largest circulation of any Metropolitan daily in America. Chicago is the second largest city in America. Illiteracy is at a low level, only 250 miles from Chicago, has a daily with less than one fourth of the circulation of the Chicago paper. In the month March, one of America's most popular advertising campaigns in the Chicago paper with the hope of building a greater volume of business in the Windy City and the State of Illinois, the manufacturer who had previously put on a glicemic campaign in St. Louis in one of the St. Louis papers in February, was very much disappointed over the results obtained. Statistics given out on the amount of business done by the manufacturer show that more goods were sold in St. Louis than in Illinois in weeks than was sold in Chicago and the State of Illinois in five weeks. The president of the manufacturer became somewhat more confident in showing of his salesmen in Illinois, and ordered an investigation made relative to the small volume of business done in proportion to the money spent in advertising.
The advertising agency who placed the copy for the manufacturer made a check up on the amount of homes reached by both papers, checks she sent to the company, the direction of the St. Louis paper went into the home and was read by the housewife, hence the basic reason for the success of the product advertised is obvious, to the head of the agency.
One of the things which makes the AFRO-AMERICAN a good business proposition for advertisers is because it goes into the home and is relevant. Were this the only agreement to be used in favor of the AFRO-AMERICAN it would suffice. There is an argument that by far transcends this argument because more homes come-home owners than any other city in America.
The manufacturer who hopes to reach this large colored buying population will, sooner or later, find that they can only be reached through columns of the AFRO-AMERICAN.

A number of the young male high school teachers take the attitude, Key Walterson stated, that the school authorities have not noticed that their condition is poor in school. He said that they visit cabarres and other questionable places of amusements, "Students see them in these places," he said, for granted that the teacher can frequent such places, they can do so easily. "Many of the young male school teachers," he declared, "have habit of daring to teach the girls whom places that are not recorded as reports of respectable people. On the next day they fail to secure the respect and the respect they teach."

Bishops Protest
Twelve bishops of the A. M. E. Church presided in council at Pittsburg has week signed a letter of protest directed to the ministers, laymen, church and friends of the denomination.
The resolution directed against Mr. Ira Bvytan, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, and a general officer of the church reads as follows:
Mr. Ira Bvytan presided in this meeting against the good names of the bishops in violation of the constitution of the conduct of a Christian and a general officer. With patience and long suffering that increased wisdom and awareness of these unlawful acts and we have become unstable and we have now reorganized and we have now reorganized against the unacceptable conduct of Mr. Bvytan and insist that he turn from the error and self in the laws of the Church which he so loyally proclaims to the good deeds.

Dear Brother,
We, the Rishpus of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, in semi-annual session,
dear it proper to send you greetings and
"We have needed for several years the unwaverable press of the press of the country, particularly in the Albania published by Prof. Bryant of the University, and frequented in the Sunday School literature of the A. M. E. Church, against the good African Methodist Epistolary Church, as well as the Norn bishops of our sister churches, the courts of America is that no man has a right to slander and libel his fellowman; they also good name of his fellowman and incriminate him, and that the trials and trials have found them guilty. The resolution is far milder than the occasion warrants. It is a slap on the wrist when it should have been a welcoming from a shingle. It is however, and is fairly evident, the document met the universal approval of all the bishops present and was drawn as severely as all were willing to stand for Heroicomorro. Mr Bryant has had supposes some bishops such as him in his attacks upon fellow bishops. Apparently all feel that the thing has gone far enough and a church divided against itself cannot stand. If this be a correct interpretation of the bishops latter, we deserve it more and more, since striving round out and progress.
If it be but a mask behind which disunion, suspicion and vilification are still to be carried on, the church is digging for itself a grave from which neither its members nor its friends will be able to extricate it.

FAREWELL, I Sam. 12.
And Samuel said unto all Israel,
Beboh I have heartken unto you,
voice in all that ye said unto me, and
have made a kins to you,
have walked before you, and I am old and gray-
headed, and behold, my sons are with
you, and I have walked before you
from my childhood unto this day.
Beboh I am, I am witness against
me before whose eyes I have taken
or whom I defrauded? whom have
I repressed? or of whose hand have
I received any bribe, to blind minds
ever therewith? And I will restore it

witness against you, and His ap-

have not found aunt of any man's

And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not; ye have done all this wickedness; ye turn not aside from following; the Lord will serve the people, and the Lord will serve your heart. And turn ye not aside; for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. And the Lord will not; forseake his people for his great name's sake; because if hath pleased the Lord to make you His people. Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin arraign the Lord to make you His people; but I will teach you the good and the right way. Only fear the Lord, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consummate great things He hath for you.
But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your

SAY BISHOPS' COUNCIL UNVEIL MONUMENTS BACKED CAREY TO CATHOLIC PRIESTS
TUSKEGEE. Ala.—Yes. I have a mother," said Dr. R. M. Rotman, principal of Tuskegee in a talk to students. "I had hoped to have her down here this winter, but we were away and we could not. I hope she can come next winter. I want you to see her." "She is a remarkable woman." "A woman of great force of character, of strong will." She likes to have to work with people, but whatever happens, wherever I am, whatever I do whether sick or well, failing or succeeding, there is one thing I am perfectly sure of—that she never goes to bed any night and never gets up any morning but that old woman, that old black woman with no education—she can read the Bible, that old woman takes Gods' advice on her son every day. She never fails.
"I do not care what I do. I can go to that old mother and she will be perfectly sure. I am almost equally sure that your mother would do the same thing. You can take the sakes, boys and girls, do not neglect your mother. You can never know until you get old what is happening the has had, physical suffering, and sometimes other suffering, even more, and often far more serious and try-

Council's Action Said To Low-
bership
Ernest Rice McKinney
PITTSBURG, PA., (P. S.A.)
It seems that the office of Bishop
in A. M. E. Church is not so high an office as most of the
ministers and bishops of that denomination claim. It does not
seem that the office in the A. M.
M. E. Government and dignified as the same office
in the M. E. Church. For instance it is not as worth while a
job, it seems, as that of Civil Service Commissioner of the rot-
tational municipal government of a great American city.
Bishop Carrye, of the great A. M. E. Church bench of bishops has accepted the position of City of Chicago not only this but he has retained his apostolic position in his church. Bishop Carrye is attempting the impossible. He cannot fill both jobs honestly, righteously and as a Christian man. He will be a Christian minister and a politician. The appointment of Mr. Carrye is a political appointment. No one will be foolish in accepting the Civil Service Commission. All of us know how municipal civil service commissions function. An appointment would have been no worse. I learn, too, that the Bishops, in session in Pittsburgh recently, agreed to vote to thank Mayor Thompson. This whole business will NOT ELEVATE THE A. M. E. CHURCH IN OP ITS OWN COMMUNIGANTS.
If the Christian ministry is what the preachers say it is then Bishop Carey says it is the BLOT in the A.M. Church. If it is not what they say it is then they are LIARS and HYPOCRITIS the whole thing is useless and unnecessary men and women. The more I see of this sort of thing the better I can understand what a friend said to me: "You are the preachers were going in for cleaning up cities and driving out vice because they have lost out in religion." All this, the pain the preachers have been in because from the church, the empty pews and the filling of the membership books with the names of morons, neurotics and certain shrewd individuals that join up is "good for business."
BIG CAMP MEETING
A soul winning camp meeting will be held under the auspices of Maryland Baptist Church in the tent on Friday, July 28th. From the Church and Carrollion Avenues, beginning Friday, July 29th. Some of the most noted evangelists and gospel singers will appear on program each evening. A special invitation is extended to ministers and gospel singers to take part in those services.

"Help Others If You
Would Be Happy
Says. Rev. Williams
"The greatest good can be got out of life by administering to the needs of the beneficiaries declared the best William's church at Metropolitan Church Sunday.
"The individual who seeks to store up for himself all the benefits he receives from the church is a person lous and uncharming being and he cannot receive that full measure of joy until he is willing to share with the beneficiaries."
Instead of a lengthy preaching service at night, Metropolitan holds vesper services during the summer months from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. If members are thus given an opportunity to go other places after the services.

"A boy came into my office last winter. I had made up my mind he ought to go home. I talked with him. I told him his mistakes. He admitted them and finally in hesitating way said, 'Dr. Iotton, I wish in some way you could do something so that my mother would not know.'"
"He hated to have his mother know. It would break her heart. I said to Capt. Neely I am not going to offset the action of the council, but I will resume responsibility for him. Give him a trial. He didn't want his mother to know, did not want to hurt her."
"Do you think about your mother when you are about to slip? Do you sit down and anticipate what it might mean to do this or that? The mother who is struggling and trying to keep you in school; do you think about it before you make a mistake? Did it ever occur to you that you might break your mother's heart? He did not want to break his mother's heart, so I gave him a chance."
"I will never do a thing that will be a sorrow to my mother. She may be ignorant, but many of those old people have a great deal more sense than you and I ever had or will have."
"Remember your mottler in your prayers, in your life, in your often and in her the nice things that she will like. My mother carries my letters around in her bosom. She cannot read them. But they make her happy."

WOULD REMOVE TIME LIMIT FROM PASTORS
New York Seeks: Election to Bishop- opic on This Platform
BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN
NEW YORK N. Y. - When the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church meets in Chicago next May, prominent among the candidates likely to be elected bishop in the A. M. E. Church, will be K. Spearman, pastor of the Beth A. M. E. Church.
He has been pastor of Bebel A. M. E. Church in 1805, during time he has raised over $75,000 and added over 1800 to the membership. A. M. E. Church, which is one of the largest in the connection.
If elected bishop Dr. Spearman said he our own, especially in the establishment of a church system both in the individual and general church He favors the removal of the time limit for pastors, especially in the individual system. He said he strongly favored the establishment of a pension system, that would give a comfort to pastors to come out of preachers of the connection.
He feels that the educational system of the church could be greatly improved by the standardization of the connectional schools, and there ought to be the establishment and maintenance of at least one great theological seminary.
Dr. Spearman was born in Newberry, S. C., of slave parents. He is a graduate of Lincoln University and Yale Divinity School. Dr. Spearman worked his way through college. He was licensed to preach in 1899 at Oxford, Pa., and was admitted to the New England conference in 1901. In 1903 he was ordained elder by Bishop Derrick. His first appointment was at Chelsea, Mass. He has pastored with success at Lynn, Mass.

WANT SCHOOLS NAMED FOR TWO PASTORS
Mt. Joy Baptist Church Pastor Admitted To Local Conference
A committee from the Baptist Ministers' Conference was appointed last Monday at Trinity Baptist Church to cooperate with the movement to have two of the public schools named in honor of the late Dr. William Alexander and Harvey Johnson. Dr. Alexander's name was mentioned for School No. 112 because of the fact that practically the first school started in Dr. Alexander's school in Dr. Alexander's church and his wife and he were the teachers.
The committee appointed included the Revs. W. W. Allen, W. J. Winston, G. A. Crawley and J. W. Jones.
Miss Lucy Wade, of Richmond County, N. C. she is the chair of the school near Hamble in the same county. Her mission is to solicit $1000 to help equip the new building. Ms. Wade received $800 in cash and pledges. The ministers gave her the assurance of $200 from this fund. Ms. Wade is pastor of Faith Baptist Church, is head of the movement. Others introduced were the Reds, John Newport, Newport News, Va. M. Davis, Philadelphia, D. A. Scott and Dr. G. Brage, Jr. The Rev. J. S. Brown, a member of the board, admitted to membership.

CHURCH NOT PLACE TO SHOUT SAYS MISS NANNIE BURROUGHS
The church is not the place to get happy and shout, but the place to get strength and courage. The church did Miss Nannie H. Burrowings in an address at Shiloh Baptist Church Just Sunday.
Miss Burrowings addressed the audience in the object "The Importance of Christian Union." A race with dreamers she said, is like a ship upon the ocean without a compass. We need men to help us. It is not races especially that God helps, but all men who will try Him. But this race in particular has exceeded the limits that they have come from the brush harbors and corn fields of the south to the mansions and other luxuries in the north.
The Christian religion is to give one cold one on which to run. We must live the Christian religion and let men see what it looks like, and we must carry the message to those who do not hear it. The day of Pentecost was a great success, not so much because Peter was such a wonderful prochester because the people
The churches have turned their real mission over to declare their attitude and condemn these organizations but what would become of many people were not aware of the church to administer to the sick, to feed those who are hungry and help those who are less fortunate, was instituted by the Good Samaritan, which means the church, not the hospital, is administered by the hospitals anywhere.
When, the church takes up a collection for one who is down and out, the church asks that person is so embarrassed he does not feel like accepting it. How does this harmonize when the Bible says, "Let not perish but know what is good and death."
We must organize selflessly, not with the head to see what is in it for oneself, but with the heart for others. The Rev. W. A. Gray, president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington, spoke on the nature of the church and the object of the movement is to assist the church in making the community better: to encourage and control the life of the young people and our religion a seven day religion. Special music was rendered by Sinclair choir, the Southern quartet to the tune of "Reddie. The Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor of the church delivered the welcome address and Dr. D. G. Mack, United Baptist Missionary. Convention, was master of ceremonies.

Extracts from the Baccalaurate
curriculum to the graduates of Douglass High
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of the heart are the issues
The author of the text was the scholar of the Old Testament. In the field of lettering, he was the author of the Old Testament scholars. Just as Paul outclasped the apostles in culture and learning, so did Solomon the prophets and sage of ancient jurisprudence; Abraham the father of the great nation, Solomon was the Crocus and sage of his day. The author of the wise sayings to the sons of men.
The book of Proverbs is but of his complications. He wrote a collection of stories, and he wrote twelve sermons and called them the Ecclesiastes. He was a king and a wise man but he was best king Israel ever knew. His riches abound in mountains and little plains including all of the lands of Ophat. His wisdom enriched the globe. His kingdom extended from the Mediterranean Sea these riches and wisdom and dominion. he stops and writes us saying: "Keep thy heart with all dillusions of thy heart are the issues of life."
Anyone who reads the history of religion and that of culture will find that these are the things. The cultured mind is placed before the consecrated heart and intellectual dexterity above ideality. Mentality walks the line between feeling as bond slaves. For this worship intellectually we must blame the scholars of our age. Our historians these immortals make up an army of great thinkers; philosophers, scientists, poets, jurists and generals. We idolize the great minds, but we do not. It is true that when the sons of Genius assemble, the great thinkers occupy the center of the world. But when the minds of this study, our minds will lead us to believe that brain is the king of the world; that great thinkers are the creators of the world; that science is the only providence for the future; that God Himself is simply an infinite brain, an eternal logic engine, cold steel, weaving endlessly a title and art, about nature and man.

- The oldest and most frequent book tells us that the throne of the world is the universe; the ruler of the universe is heart, rather than crystalline mind. God then is the eternal friend who will make the world. His those forms of love called monotheism thropples, social bounties and benefaction, just as the ocean sends its life-giving tides into every bay and creek and river. His monsters have not risen up to their moral light. The Robert Burns had a brilliant mind, but his will was far off. If his mind was upon the snow capped mountain of immorality. The poet Burns had noble thoughts but he lived a love life. Goethe had the wisdom of a sage but he lived the life of a quarryer. He lived his life in his son's in the morning and at midnight stole his neighbor's goods.
Thoughts must be led by sentiment. When sentiment works in sound, it makes music when it works in colour. When it works in literature, it forms beautiful poems. Granting this, it is not strange then that the heart with its affections, the knowledge and wisdom. It was said, thought out their truths, but as have lived long enough to know that the greatest truths are tell out, they have been deemed to think about God. In narrow, hath and rigorous heart has a despot and cruel conception of God. When the heart grows kindly, sympathy emphasizes the sympathy and love of God. Every man paints his picture of God. But the heart lends the pigments. What force and law governs the sympathy and good will. The heart is taking the rigor out of toil, the drudgery out of service, the cruelty out of law, the harshness out of theology, in which society is entering into all classes of society through the heart.
To you, young men and women, cultivate the art of loving man. Do not go out with the erroneous idea that to love one another is a race common everybody, white people as well as colored. The one who goes thus life loving, laughing, working and weeping shall march thru the gates of heaven into paradise with a heart believing unto immortality. Keep thy heart with all diligence. Keep out of it are the issues of life."

PRESIDENT DECLINES TO APPOINT COLORED REGISTRAR
Saturday, July 9, 1927
"CAL" FIRES J.C. REGISTRAR OF TREASURY
Speelman, Originator Of Segregation, Ousted By Order From S. D.
COLORED REPUBLICANS ARE GIVEN NO COMFORT
Post They Always Held Is Given To Another White Official
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Harley V. Speelman, Registrar of the Treasury, who has been a leader in enforcing segregation in the government departments here, will no longer be connected with the government service after August service after August 1.
Notice of his severance from the Federal payrolls came from the summer white house at Rapid City, S. D. unceremoniously last Tuesday. Dispatches from the summer executive offices announced the appointment of Walter O. Wood, of Kansas, as registrar of the treasury.
"Cal" Sends Order
President Coolidge announced the reservation of Speelman. When inked of the appointment of Mr. Wood, Speelman declared that he hadn't resigned and had no intention of doing so. It developed latter that his only reason for not having resigned is that he is seeking disability retirement. The passing of Speelman from official life is hailed with delight. Ever since his appointment as registrar of the treasury, the late President Speelman has been a source of continued embarrassment to the president and his administration by his segregation practices.
First Protest
The first big protest came against Speelman when it was learned that colored clerks in the office of the registrar of the treasury were segregated in the building which houses his offices. The colored clerks were located on the most unattainable side of this floor and were segregated from white clerks by means of a beaverboard window. The elevator service was arranged so that there would be no contact between the two races, the colored clerks being required to go to work for minutes earlier than the white clerks.
Jim Crow Tablets
The second protest, in which a number of white employees joined, was occasioned when Speelman sought to erect in the registrar's building a crow-table for the man who had gone from that office into the World War and died in the service of their country. Speelman ordered two tablets, one for the man and the other for the colonel. When his trick was discovered at memorial exercises for the unveiling of the tablets, objections were so strenuous that a cardboard containing the names of all the men wanted to be removed from the table and a single bronze table ordered instead.
Reduction Of Force
There were other protests caused by his discrimination in the reduction of his office force. On each occasion when a reduction was to be made, a larger proportion of colored clerks was given notice of the discrimination, and a number of influential members of Congress also sought his official head.
Little Comfort
The appointment of Wood as his successor, however, holds little consultation to colored Republicans. Before the Harding administration a man held the job of public speaker. The late Charles Cattell sought this plum, but the late President Harding turned him down. The Goodale ascended to the presidency; it was thought that he would return the custom of Harding's predecessors. Efforts to secure the appointment of a colored man were continually made, but always it was stated that there was no vacancy. Harding colored Republican when he declared a vacancy is disappointing.
Hall-Merchant Wedding Event In Cincinnati
CINCINNATI, Ohio — A romance of wide country interest ended here Thursday evening when Mrs. Daisy Merchant, wealthy business woman was led to the altar by George Hall, widely known Grand Master of Odd Fellows of Ohio and reactor of Franklin. The wedding ceremony, a beautiful and elaborate Epicopal service, was performed by the Rev. Wm. Turpeau as Calvary M. E. Church and the affair attracted the cream of O, Indiana. Kentucky and Missouri society. As the harpist and violinist broke forth in the strains of Here Cones Bride, Mrs. Lillian Mallory of Davenport and Mrs. Beatrice Darnell of Middletown preceded by forlorn daring little eris. Hon. George Price. Deputy County treasurer of Montgomery County, and of Dayton served as best man. The bride followed on the arm of her brother, Leander Simms of New York who gave her in troth.
Besides numerous wedding presents which filled two rooms, a unique wedding cake which rose four feet high was a gift from Mrs. Annie M. Ma. who is a close friend of the bride. This cake which was made by Jos. Poro College will later be donated by the bride and groom to some charitable institution. Mr. and Mrs. are at home at 15 Elizabeth street, pressing business having prevented them from taking a honeymoon tour.

SOUTHWEST IN NEED OF PLAY GROUND WORK'RS
Recreational Activities Show
Southern States
NEW ORLEANS, LA.—Reports from the Southwestern section. Louisiana and Texas, indicate a tremendous interest in the music work being promoted by the Playground and Recreation Association of America, through George Leon Johnson, special organizer of musical activities. In New Orleans, recently there was organized a Negro chorus whose exhibition was attended by over three thousand white and colored persons, including the more prominent and outstanding citizens of that city. Prior to this event, Johnson had just finished developing work in Houston, Texas, and on Monday evening last. presented a tremendous musical al. Galveston, Texas.
The attention to recreational problem was directed by these activities has greatly increased interest in the all-around programs of community recreation fostered by the association. It has also created new demands for recreational leadership in various sections of the country, and because of this an increased demand for trained leaders has developed.
To meet these demands the community recreation school, which this year will be held in Philadelphia, July 5 to 23, at the Sager Playground. Tenth and Lombard streets, has attracted the community of qualified leaders in social and recreational work. This recreational training school invited the applications of those who would care to enter the recreational field. Announcements concerning these have been issued by Ernest T Attwell, Field Director, Bureau of Coal Mining, 1000 North Street, Philadelphia. While the tuition is free to those who are accepted for the school, the organization has spared no effort in securing the leaders in the major recreational activities of community work. Included in the work of teachers is the state of teachers who John Marsh the nationally known leader plays and games and recreational athletics; Mrs. Hundley, specialist in community dramas and pageantry.

Now, Upper Hill or Upper Fairmount is just one instance of a regular place, created by the prejudice of Maryland whites who set themselves up in Fairmount and permitted the darker brethren to have their own settlement over a mile away. It is inhabited by approximately 350 Aframericans. The village is in the center of a farming district that yields tomatoes and strawberries such as only the Eastern Shore can offer. Being almost surrounded by the Manokin and Annamese Rivers, when the siders tertile ozenen they would often good market for their oysters in Baltimore. Philadelphia and other cities.

Possibly the most famous person who was the owner of Upper Hill is Countie Cullen, brilliant young poet, graduate of Harvard and assistant editor of Opportunity magazine. His father, the Rev. Mr. Frederick Cullen, is pastor of Salem M. E. Church, New York. The other upper Hill men who have "made good" are the Drs. Hodson Waters, elder of the Philadelphia A. M. E. Conference, and J. R. Waters' pension and relief

Taking in the fact that Upper Hillisiders residents of one of the few colored towns, have no time to bother with sex appeal movies and worry no more than the income tax reports, the place is just a regular hometown with "Main Street and everything."

There isn't anything miscarried in God's universe
There's a place for everything.
God found a thought for each wise man.

For each drop of rain he found some
And a place for each drop of dew.

There must be a place for you.

Neither fret nor complain;
We invest in flowers.
And in their places remain;
For it's there they fulfill their mission
As they radiate joy and cheer.

So if you would make your life worthy
Contentment I give as the key,
Just find the place where you do the best.
For there's where God wants you to be.

TO HIGHEST COURT
Color Not Sufficient Basis To Give Children A School Apart
Apart
TOMS RIVER, N. J.-Reinstatement in the local school by the Dover Township Board of Education of thirty Negro school children, tuition pupils from Berkeley Township, was ordered yesterday by Commissioner of Education John H. Logan at Trenton.
Segregation of the Negro children by the Dover Township Board of Education attracted state-wide attention. Parents of the pupils protested to the Governor, Commissioner of Education and carried the case to the Supreme Court where it still is pending. Senator Alexander Simpson of Hudson, also introduced in the 1927 Legislature a bill to prohibit segregation.
segregation
Tentative drafts of both the Republican and Democratic State conventions carry planks condemning segregation of school children because of race, color or creed. These planks are a result of publicity attracted by the segregation.
In disposing of appeal from the segregation parents and guardians of the children yesterday, Commissoner Logan held that the Board of Education failed to substantiate its contention that the children were moved to a church with a Negro teacher, because were from one to three years below normal and coordinate as to constitute entrance to the discipline Tems River school.
of the Towns Commissioner Logan's decision said in part: "It would appear from the facts in the case that the facilities provided by the Dover Township Board in the South Fork River School were inferior to the other facility offered to some of the white pupils, and that the Dover Township Board of Education in the first instance intended in good faith to provide special class facilities for certain individual cases of retardation or unruthiness among the Negro child-
"That ultimately, however, the placing of children in such school was determined upon a color basis is evident from the fact that not only appellants other not only pupils are sent, but that no white children were ever placed among them and no characteristics other than color were proved to be peculiar to appellants and in no way shared by the Toms River School so as to justify the exclusion of such appellants on other grounds."

Alice Gorgas, Character Ar-
It Won't Last Long
NEW PLAY MATERIAL
WILL REVIVE DRAMA
Audiences Will Support Plays
That Express Racial Life
Of Present Day
"The reason for the present rejection of drama by colored audiences is due to the tiresome, old-fashioned type of plays that are offered," declared Alice Gorgas, character artist with Tricia C. Miller's shows, for the past twelve years and former member of the Lafayette Players, in an interview Thursday.
Miss Gorcas has had the opportunity for viewing practically all厉害的 dramatic efforts from the mode for several years. She believes that the audiences can and will support the drama as the life of the life of the race that imperates the present.
"The name of revues," she added, is a temporary one and will wane once the reach a definite point in蔓延.
"Pioneer," a soloist in a Philadelphia Formal church, Miss Gorcas appears to appear in a musical tabulation because her first professional operation. Having had considerable success dramatic and stage training, she will come into prominence.
More travel seasons, with Weimeng and follow Me', and other shows, she will given an opportunity to play a role in the Laylayette plays in the absence of Abbie himself. Yourthful enthusiasm and some useful ability aided her in employment. Her appearance in Baltimore last week only changes from the role she had woman to that of a young one and back as the aged female one. Hanna worked in excessively several seasons without any rest, she plans a summer vacation to allow her voice a chance to return some of her earlier roles. Miss Goreen has been a teacher in the new Miller school, which is planned for a opening next season. In her last time she acts as tutor for the school troupes in the Miller town with which she is playing.

BY OBIE McCOLLUM
When Irvin C. Miller's new show, planned as a Broadway production, goes online within a few days, two chorus girls play the theatrical work much less time than many of their friends, but have put more into their work, will be in the cast.
The two, one a former student of Schenley High School of Pittsburgh, High School in Washington, have before the radiant dazzle spotlights less than a year. Conscientious attention to their work and interest in doing more than enough to "get by" have not been overlooked by Miller or his managers.
Helen Powell who by the way is related to S.H. Duncan and the theatre magnate, says that she naturally drifted into the profession. Her parents were close.
Helen Powell who by the way is related to S. Dixie of the actor and theatre magnate, says that she naturally drifted into the profession. Her parents were taken opposed to any part of the stage when she proposed leaving the senior class of the Pittsburgh high school and beginning a career as a performer. They had overlooked the fact that Helen had long before drawn her ideals from S. H. Dudley, William Wheeler and the late Aida Owens Walker, the cream of the tribe of actors.
Having studied music along with her academic work, and winning some little note as an amateur entertainer, Helen persuaded her to begin a school and began as a soloist and dancer with Lois B. Deppe's Orchestra at the Empire Theatre in Pittsburgh. She was stained dancing with the Emma Mae Hopper studios and came time to play the stage routines of classies took most of her time that might have been given to leisure. Miss Powell was engaged last season for a chorus part in the form of Miller production of the film "Dad and promote special work.

Finish "Uncle Tom"
At $1,500,000 Cost
LOS ANGELES. — "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be finished for Universal this week after more than a year spent on production and at a cost running close to $1,500,000. When Harry Pollard started making movies in the 1930s he was thought $750,000 would do the work. With his misfortune on account of illness in the cast a year ago and then the recasting of the picture upon his return, some of the film had to be scrapped and production cost mounted. James B. Love, who has the title role, has received considerable favorable comment for his portrayal of Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous fiction and drama character. The picture is scheduled to be a red show with the initial showing to take place in New York about Sept. 15.

MCCULLOM'S WEEKLY STAGE REVIEW
MCCULLOM'S WEEKLY STAGE REVIEW
BY OBIE McCULLUM
Who Is Responsible?
The controversy as to whether the Negro or white musicians originated the jazz music is necessary by Dr. Gustav Stresemann, foreign minister of Germany, at the recent music convention in Frankfort. The noted German denounced the jazz music that is interpreted by Paul Whiteman. Will Marion Cook and other white and colored composers and musicians of Dr. Stresemann is quoted as saying that he regrets that Negro rhythm has triumphed over harmony. In saying this he places the blame upon the shoulders of colored people.
We wonder how many musicians will be ashamed of accepting that blame. Fletcher Henderson. Will Marion Cook, will Vodery and others who are enviable success will not be sad hearted to learn that their people are to blame for causing the world a melody. And there is the fact that we gave more than rhythm in our spirituals and melodies.
Is Broadway White?
Following a story by a New York writer saying that Broadway is closed to Negro shows and especially to female performers, comes the announcement that Clarence Bottom, the singer and Lyles "Tane" are now on the white way, and that Irvin C. Miller and others will open there next season. The two now playing to white audiences at top prices may or may not be available. One thing is almost certain, however, if they maintain the grade and are successful, they will remain until next summer. A man forgets a part of his prejudice toward you when you can earn money or the theater by his hit film. Ask the theater and other whites who operate colored films or theaters.
Where Do We Go?
Probably the most discussed question among many performers today is: Will Hurtig and Seamon put colored shows on the Mutual circuit? When the veteran producers, who gave Williams and Seamon the title, Columbia circuit the franchise for colored shows was given to only two producers and one of them is for a mixed show. Hurtig and Seamon, now connected with Mutual, the circuit that barred Negro Show audiences shows some will be done with them. Should they find no outlet through white circuits the time in our theatres will be crowded with big time shows and actors. The houses can well use a few better shows, actors and talent previews. The two songs, two dances and two jokes formula might be varied with pleasing results.

Extravagance in Production Blamed
For Measures That Stir Film
Industry
BY GEO. PERRY
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (P C N B) -
Changing from the new announcement that contracted actors and
newly learned more than $50 per
per week would be affected, the film
industry economy measure was extended to include even the extras
earning from $5 to $50 per day
thereby increasing the number of
Negro actors employed by the
various studios.
Adolph Zinker ordered his own
salary of $25,000 cut, likewise that
of Jesse Lasky, Sidney Kent, Walter
L. Wagner and other Foreign Play-
ers. In Mix, reported to be the highest paid motion picture
actor in the business with a salary
estimated at between $17,000 and
$20,000 a week, opposes the cut and
successfully arbitrarily he permits
to be cut will return his contract.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" starring the Negro actor James B. Lowe, originally planned as a $400,000 production took nearly a year to build, but now estimated to exceed a million dollars. "Ben Hurt" produced in Hollywood and Europe at a cost so great the producers do not expect it to be a big profit which exceeds $2,000,000 are made in contrast to the profit earning program pictures like "Abraham Lincoln" "Salvation Hunters" "Babbitts" "The Callahans and Kelvin" at a cost of less than salary checks of the stars of the superstars.

EVA A. JESSYE Theatre
NEW YORK.—One of the outstanding entertainments of the year was the midnight show staged by Miss Grace Gines at the Larayette Theatre, the performers being a few exceptions, pupil of her dance studio, and ranging from tiny tots of three to members of the younger
A full house greeted the opening chorus which was a reproduction in which Ethel Waters scored her greatest success "I'm Coming, Virginia."
**Exhibit Showmanship**
Gloria Wilson, a mere tot in rhinestone satin, danced with remarkable rhythm. Isabel Stars demonstrated unusual supplication by combing her hair with a comb behind on her toes, as well as going through contortion challenging a seasoned teacher.
A little brownskinned beauty, Elmira Smith, captivated the folks with singing and dancing of Blue Skies. Edna Raimond, a grenadier in full high kicks and little Floretta Lee was a sensation. She was dressed so prettily in filmie white and showed how daintily and with what cuteness the black bottom can be danced.
Anna Davis, the master for the Miller and Lyles show, displayed marked ability. Margaret Street was engaging as Mary Lou, and Hazel Street put over "Muddy Water" acceptably.
"Senorita Mine" was ensemble by the great paints during which Custis proudly sang the lyrics while Corneilla Street depicted a scornful Senorita.
In All Humors
Almost every type of dance had its exponent, and caper pose at that. Luscious and beautiful. Ward addition to proving possession of a remarkable voice for a youngster, capped a clever routine with a roller skating exit. Carrie Payne, a delightful soubrette with promise of a future swing, most sympathetic to beautiful form. Harris was a one-o-clock baby. Jeppie Johnson was welcomed as an old favorite and Marie Jackson excelled in high kicks. Nadine Jones turned the world upside down. She stood in front of Sylvia Abraham and Emalina Jones were sane enough in "Crazy Quilt."
The blues singer was portrayed by Catherine Hotwell, radiating good humor and delightful unconcern. She stopped the show. "Deed I Do" was sung and danced by Grace Flood, little Minnie Reed was like a one doll in French, she sang "Love You." A fast back and wing was inserted by Geo. Poster, Marjorie Moulke licked Vo-de-o-o-do and finished it off with a little stepping. The Custis sisters sang in "If I Could Be With You."
"Song of the Wanderer" was sold by Carrie Payne . . . in the manner of the old Marian Wildy sang "So Blue" . . . then came an ensemble number "Birds" . . . blue birds, robin red breasts, canary, and even the butterfly (Pearl Clarke) to complete the idea of summer. Rags the boy came to the success of Dorothy Small, Sadie Jones and Iona Sneed made a good dancing couple. Aline Richason and Mildred Forrester charmed the audience with their singing of their chirping revealed very good voices.
Clara Layba furnished welcome variety in an oriental dance, delicately done. Ernest Morrison (not Sunshine Sammy) contributed a Charleston that had their sitting on the edges of their seats. He was the class medal winner last season. Marie Henderson, daughter of Rosa Henderson, famed, led a black bottom ensemble.
Professionals Assisted
Several professionals contributed their services in the cause; among them, Miss Dy Jones, cornetist with Ethel Waters. Compelled to attend a rehearsal, Miss Jones. For her role, the Melody Three. Todd, Holland and Beasley were there on the harmonics, gave "Alabama Stomp". Creamer and Johnson's big hit in "Varibles."
"Sweet Virginia" "No Hidin" Place There." a spirited, Holland saint the Road to Mandalay" in a wood hallway. The new Beasley's high, ubliant tenor elicited much handclapping.
Crawford and Hart did a piano and dancing turn. Joseph Jackson and Miss Marian Jones danced an Eastside Apache which was something new in these parts. They also put on a show, and the high hat that would stand up without a challenge on any big time boards. The marked resemblance of this couple to Florence Mills and George Walker was something to marvel at. Alfonso Black mystified the wise sons by apparently swallowing the threaded apparently later nulling the threaded needles from his mouth.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—"Oh, won't you come in?" said Ms. Greeley, smiling wistfully when an AFRO man greeted her in her dressing room in Lincolnshire, fifteen minutes before her act was scheduled to go on. Across the hall was Leroy Broomfield, her partner.
Miss Aurora Greeley, as she has become Greely, four years before the footlights is a New Yorker, but was born in Jacksonville. Fla. When a mere girl her people moved to the big city and she came up in the place that in later years has made her a founding young comedy actress.
Like Miss Bessie Allison and a score of other young actresses who made their debut while in high school Miss Greeley left Wadeigh High for New York, where she and the chorus of Irv C. Miller's "Liza." She was in the chorus six months and upon the illness of Miss Margaret Simms, took the latter's role as ingeneue and portrayed it so successfully that her other girl made the role in "Broadway Rastus" and "Rumpin in Wild."
Last year she joined "4-11-44" and worked with the company until it closed several days ago. Miss Greeley has big black eyes, brown skin and stands about four feet and ten inches in height. Larry Broomfield
A desire for the footlights, a desire to dance the light fantastic the realization of a dream that began when he was a boy is what lured Leroy Broomfield to the stage. He was born in Omaha, Neb. and got his first tryout with Whitney and Tutt as a chorus boy in "Up and Down." That was in 1923. The chorus he moved up to juvenile dancer and has been making rapid strides ever since. Broomfield is a hoofer of high rank. His work varies from that of the usual dancer seen in most of the late reues. He has made eccentric dancing his hobby.
In the west he is known as the nephew of Broomfield, well known reese dealer. His moth-
Mrs. Sallie Broomfield also resides in the Nebraska metropolis.
After leaving Whitney and Tutt, Broomfield worked eleven months at the Sunset Cafe, Chicago, making the longest stand of any principal to ever appear at the mall. Then a "4-11-44" company and the blonde "4-11-44" company and with Miss Greeley, after the close of the show last week, opened at the Lincoln here for a two weeks' run.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: Roger's interview was written before Miss Baker's announcement that the wedding was a access agent stunt.)
BY J. A. ROGERS
PARIS, France—By Mall—"Yes we were married," smiled Miss Jose Peipino baker, or rather the Countess guest of Alberte, whether the report of her witness was true. She added: "And I got the finest husband in the world," she turned to the Count, handsome, dark-featured, and
There were three of us, Dr. Chas
H. Johnson, of Atlanta, Ga., on a
jour of Europe with his wife, Spencer
Williams, well known composer
and myself. The Count received us
with a bow, full of grace and elegance,
and apologized for his English.
"Yes," he replied, after our congrat-
ions. "I'm the happiest man in
the world. I saw Josephine for
the first time in the Filles-Bergere
and I was so smitten with her amber
beauty that I arranged for an intro-
duction.
Give Up Position
He continued with a twirl of his eight manchette. "She is a wonderful band. I am proud to be husband. I am going to devote the life of my life to her to make a great artist of her." He developed, gave up his position with the British Government to be with her. He is also an artist.
In Paris, she said Miss Baker in an aslide, when I questioned about the Count's little, the comes from a very ancient family, I took care to have that look ad into, though I love him that look, not. I know his family's family tree, which dates back to the famous Gardener, Mario. The Count's home is in Palermo, Sicily, and when I pointed that city of beautiful villas at the foot of Monte Pelligrino, he said with genuine pleasure, "Family Glad of Wedding "The Count." explained Miss Baker, her pardon being countless,—is the first one of his life to marry a girl whose title I thought his first going to be very angry when they heard of our engagement, but they were just the opposite.
His mother, was present at our wedding at the American Embassy and his father, writes me the most kind of letters. I understand that the Count's family has a chateau in Italy, but as my contract with the Polites is finished I am going down to visit them, at their
Ninety Months' Courtship
"I met the Count just nine months ago, one night up in Monmartre. No it wasn't love at first sight. I did think he was a handsome fellow, and when I heard he was a Count, too. I was thrilled. He came to me at the theatre three nights later, and one of the first things he asked me was whether I was married." I said no, but his reply was a proposal. I didn't take him seriously but he was really in earnest, for the next time he had his mother marry him. Then I knew he was in earnest, and suddenly it occurred that he that I did love him. I ringed and he gave me this ring—he displayed a home-made engagement ring on his finger—and that wasn't all he gave me either in the lovely valens.
mim. "Yes I am just as happy as I can be. I had no idea that getting married was so exciting."
Secret Disclosed at Party
The Count and Countess were married on June 3rd, but the pair kept the marriage secret until Saturday night at a party given to her friends at the cabaret which bears Miss Baker's name at 40 Rue Fontaine. Then she slipped on her ring for the first time. Why did you keep it a secret she was asked "Oh," she replied in her usual sprightly manner. "you see I am only twenty-one—I married on my twenty-first birthday. It's the first time I got married, and see, I really didn't know what to do.
The marriage was performed by Ambassador Herric. Only other persons were present, one of whom was Seymour, who writes songs for the Countess.
Iv Paris Two Years
Miss Baker's marriage comes as the elimax of her rapid rise to fame. Entering Paris two years ago almost unknown and practically penniless she won instant success at the Champs Elysées Theatre. In less than a week later she was being showered with offers from the leading actress. From this humble review she became the star of the Theatre Follies Bergere, the most famous music hall in the world, and on whose stage hundreds of persons appear nightly. At this time Miss Baker was not yet her mother success was so great that her vogue swept the Gay City. Models of her appeared in the leading shop windows on the Rue de Opéra: her pictures were hung in various art salons; Parisiennes began to use a dark-skinned佣人 France's leading novelist. Source Dekoba wrote a movie scenic around her, and which is to appear soon.
Offer From Berlin
There also came offers from other leading theatres in Europe, from London, Vienna, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin. The Countess had told him short time previously that he had accepted an offer with a Berlin theatre at a $1500 a week to begin when her contract with the Folies expires. To letters from admirers the Countess received titles of them, some from titled persons, other than the Count. Needless to say that in this land of no color-line, she great majority of these admirers are from white persons. Here, her marriages being accepted as nothing out of the ordinary, so far as color concerned

Be Some Truth In
Marriage To "The
After All
Made a Fortune
And best of all, the Countess has made a fortune, which she has taken care of, her closest friends have informed me. She is said to be worth all the money she has made in less than two years, in addition to her jewels. "Yes," she replied. "I take care of my money. No butterfly life for me. I have no time for that. I dance at the Acacias—a fashionable teacroom—in the afternoon. I am at the poles until the sun sets. I am to my cabaret, where I am busy until the wee hours of the morning. Yes. I have no time for anything else. I used to pray for all these things when I was very young, and now that the chance has come, believe me. I will go to Rome. I will to Mount Carlo, for me, and all the other things that go with it."
And there is our Josephine, from St. Louis, Mo., launched into European society, of which the Countess seemed most proud, after the Count was that she was only twenty-one.
"How does it feel to be famous, the Countess was asked, 'Oh,' she replied, "that is nothing to what I hope to be some day. The Count is an artist, he knows the stage too, and he is going to devote the rest of his life toward perfecting it." More U.S.A. "Do you ever intend to return to America?" "Sure, I have my mother in St. Louis and all my friends. There are all the friends who were so kind when I was struggling along. I want to see them and thank them. But as to living in America that is important, I couldn't change my life. I couldn't stand that dogging around as we used to suffer when I was on the road, especially in the South. These white people here are different. They're so good, and kind, that you don't think of their color. Everyone has been so kind to me." "Yes, she went on. 'I'm glad of my success.' And believe me I've worked hard for it. I'm glad of it several reasons. It's my mother's mother. I to make it easier for colored folk to get employment on the stage in Europe."
"That Revue Negre at the Champs-Élysées certainly started a vogue for the colored musician in Europe. Of course, many had been popular before I came, and I do not for a moment to take away any credit from them."
The Color Line
The Countess admitted that she had made a fortune, a fact that would have been impossible in America. "The best I could have had," she said, "would have been a place on some circuit as so many of our best colored players have. They have had to take a more or less inferior place simply because of color. No. I could never think of making my mom again in America after all of this."
The Countess has a Spanish father, and was born in St. Louis. She went later to Philadelphia. At fifteen she joined a chorus in New York, where she performed nightly for $18 a week. Later she danced at the Hamilton. The dance affair ended with the Chocolate Dandies. Luckily for her that play failed and she came to Paris, where she has become famous and wealthy.
Expert Horseman
The Count in addition to being an artist is an expert horseman. At present he is a leutenant in the Ardidt Corps one of Italy's cricket regiments. He has won recognition in Rome and other cities for his horsemanship.
At the Countess' cabaret come the smartest folk in Europe, with royalty and the nobility galore. She has played before or entertained privately some of the leading persons of Europe, America, and Asia. Appear In Film
The Count intends to continue her theatrical career. She and the Count are to appear in the film being written by Maurice Dekobra. A close friend of the writer was earning 8000 francs a week, and that he has done much to keep the Countess before the public. The Countess, herself, told me that she was engaged to him and that was sometime before the marriage had taken place. She told me that she had had an offer from a vaudeville company in the States, but that if she ever came, she intended to leave the Count behind. The Count gave up his position in the Italian Ministry of Finance, expressly to be in Paris with his former fliance.
He could not work and make love, but he said Miss Baker so he gave up business. Now he is making success in the theatrical line himself."

LONDON. — Completing more than 300 performances without missing a show, Florence Mills, starred principal of "Blackbirds", will take a vacation here this summer and not remain with the orchestra.
Miss Mills' place will probably be taken by Mabelle Mercer, an English colored girl. The star of "Blackbirds", who has won acclaim in London and Paris, gave her services in many private engagements and charity shows while playing the long run with her company.
It is suspected that the company will not London again for two years. Will Vodery, musical director and composer of many of the tunes for Low Leslie's new "Whitebirds" will help conduct the troupe on its European tour. It is reported that Mr. Vodery owns a large share in the show.
The former Philadelphia musician returned from a hurried trip to the state only this week. He will also direct a new show for Charles B. Cochran.
Cora Green and Hamtrey Hartington will be listed among the principals of the new European edition of the "Blackbirds". It is expected that several numbers of the old cast will venture into vaudeville, having been encouraged by the success of Rucker and Perrin and the "Four Harmony Kings", who are here from Germany and other countries on the continent for a tour of the "British Isles.

HUDGINS PAYS LATE JAS. RILEY TRIBUTE
Star In French Capital Gives Old
Partner a Credit For
His Success
THE NEW YORK TIMES
PARIS.—Johnny Hudgins, featured comedy pantomine artist at the Ambassadeurs Theatre here, paid tribute Monday to the memory of the late James Riley, former partner of the star who died in Baltimore. April 23. Mr. Hudgins in a statement to the AFRO said: "Although I am enjoying unusual success now and very busy making plans for my appearance in the big Moulin Rouge revue this coming season I can not help thinking about the death of my partner, the late James Riley of Baltimore. Md. I must say that Riley and I, besides being partners, were the very best of friends and I feel that in his passing the theatrical world has lost one of the clearest fellows in show business.
"He was one of my greatest inspirations and I attribute much of my present success to this wonderful little artist. He was always ready and willing to encourage things in line; as he one day I would become a rea star. I go over the different experiences he and I had together and I can see even now more than that time that he himself lived life in which he the tel would advance worthwhile ideas and ideals in the theatrical world.
"It was my ambition to visit Baltimore in a real production in order that Riley should see me, and that my ambition was realized during my appearance with the "Chocolate Company." "I regret to say that my friend Riley perhaps took too many chances in allowing his health to not be the first consideration in life." His time and agree with his system of cooling off his careless way after being off the stage would surely in due time cause the breaking down of his health. The said ending of his life is merely a lesson to others of the profession along the health line, because without health our lives mean nothing. May I remember friend rest in peace. I shall always remember him as one of the cleverest and finest little gentlemen ever born."

"BOTTOMLAND" IS TOO LONG CRITICS SAY SEVEN GRADUATE AT HALETHORPE
NEW YORK.—Clarence William's new musical comedy, "Bottomland," which is playing downtown at the Princess, just off Broadway, won the approval of the critic of the Evening Journal as being a piece with good music and dancing, but is classed by the World as having a "debatable professional aspect." Garric, of the Journal, says in part:
"The main tune of the evening was "Bottomland." and it was planted throughout the piece that you just couldn't keep from humming it over as you left.
"There were other melodies of lesser value, but in the newer context a one or two aided the dark steppers to rise to heights in their footwork.
"The best feature of the performance was the dancing of a team called Farrow and Campbell. If memory serves they have been seen many times at the crowds of strangers to the crowd. They opened with and maintained a terrific pace such as only people of their race can attain while down in the pit the Williams orchestra it on in good measures. Nevertheless, you go to see "Botteland" you not going to be interested in plot or romance--you're going for the real Negro singing and dancing—and there's plenty of that." Alison Smith of the World says: "The professional aspect of this venture is debatable, but there is no question about it being different."
"For its general effect is as if those little black urchins who dance for pennies on the street in front of the theatre through intermissions on summer nights had been herded up on the stage. And the book and lyrics might have been written by Frank Verman. From Frank Verman. All this has a charm and an infectious hilarity that no sophisticated performance can give.

naturalness, is a brother of Bruce Neugent, author of "Cain." Pete works without makeup and usually dances in street clothing.
"But juvenile entertainment has its drawbacks, and one of them is never knowing when to stop. The show is intermingleable and through its length a fretful audience wanders in and out of the drama for the sidewalk when the plot grew thickest and returning when a blare of jazz brought hope for one of the more promising numbers.
"There are enough of those to make a thoroughly amusing outing after a performance, but there is an agile a pair of clog dancers as ever flourished under the names of Skimny and Rastus: Eva Taylor herself morning out an amused group of blues, and a comedy team who have sewed a man of the street.

George B. Murphy Makes Report On California Trip
A special feature of the morning service at Grace Presbyterian Church Sunday was a very instructive talk by George B. Murphy, Principal of School 117, who presented his visit to San Francisco, as commissioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, which met there recently. Particularly interesting was the late colleague, the spent last year by the Home Mission Board on Colored work, that the Quartette from Johnson C. Smith University received applause and was called back again, that the one served commissioned 90 olders served communion at the opening service of the Assembly.
Mr. Murphy stated that the announcement by Will Hays, that the laymen of the Presbyterian Church had raised $15,000,000 as a pension fund for disabled ministers caused more enthusiasm than anything else.
According to the session, it is significant that there is a decided increase on the part of this laymen in the business matters of the church. The newly elected moderator, Dr. Speer, is one of the most outstanding laymen in the connection. That the church needs Christ and may craders was the key of the work of the assembly. And it was with this in mind that many perplexing questions were settled.
The speaker prefaced his remarks by stating that he considered it an honor to be selected to represent the Presbyterian Church, made the an-general Assembly and that every cider should aspire to a similar privilege.
Rev. J. T. Colbert, pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church, made the announcement that Grace Church had a total of 12 graduates from High school and colleges this year, the largest number in any one year in the history of the church.
Rev. J. A. Scott, who is assisting Rev. David E. Over at Union Baptist Church this summer, was a visitor at the morning service.

Handling Acting U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Mills a check for $35,610.46, Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul-General, put that republic on record as the first nation to have paid the principal and interest on its war debt, Wednesday.
The payment of this debt was made possible by the rapid increase in Liberia's making to the Army Firestone be the development of a 1,000,000 Liberia to float a $3,000,000 loan in a project there and which enabled Wall street recently.
In handing the Acting Secretary the check, Dr. Lyon stated, "This monetary obligation which the Liberian government settles today with the American government carries our memories back to the great World
He recalled that notwithstanding the fact that the republic at the breaking out of the war had no grievances against the central powers that when the United States mentions the conflict LI followed the example of her good and great friend. The republic he said, is entering upon a prosperous career and her economic conditions have been wonderfully improved since the close of the war, and the country to American capitalists marks a new day for the government and the people of the republic.
1 000 000 ACRES
It will be recalled that Harvey Firestone now has 1,000,000 acres of rubber land in Liberia under concession, the largest rubber plantation in the world outside the Far East.
The potential production of the Liberian rubber annually is more than 300,000,000 pounds of rubber annually or the equivalent of 60,000,000 automobile tires each year. When the great project is completed, that it will employ about one-thirdth of the republic's entire population. In receiving the check, Acting Secretary James Finch instructed Dr. Lyon a letter of felicitation from Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon. "I trust," the letter concludes, "that your government has granted me the president King and to your government an expression of the admiration felt here for a nation that has been able to achieve the hope of this government that a future of peace and prosperity lies before Liberia in which the traditional friendship between the two nations will be frequent and cordial reaffirmation."

"America's greatest sin of preaching race hatred instead of the gossip," he wrote, "to cause her and cause her downfall as the sins of mighty nations of the past have been their undoing, said the Rev. A. J. Payne in a memoir at Eton Baptist Church Sunday. The pastortook as his text 'Righteousness exalthes a Nation, but sin was the cause of that devil's design that God death with nations in the same way he death with individuals and just as men were struck down for misuse of the power of the nation, so it would be with nations.

One of the most resplendent acts is a Japanese one, the Nippon Shimbun, which numbers acceptably with their man-dolin-guitar quartette. Artie Raymone, takes the larger instrument being held between his legs, and with the bow between his knees. Two Japanese girls discarach the instrument being held between their Orient and their kimonas flirt about like the Western chorus girls in their black bottom dances. They also give an exhibition of Jiu-Jitsu, which is no realist for even the modern girl.
There are two teams with acrobatic offerings, the Arabian Knights, four very clever jumps and tumbles, and the Milletts, a team of cavort about with heavy weights and in trapeze stunts.

We hope he doesn't hit this fact remains that he still交叉 the letter and that he, a medical missionary in a primitive black country 1000 miles from a railroad, cannot in his dealings with nine takes escape the ordinary considerations of color.
Not Commissioner
Dr D L Washington is and is not of our group to be elected commissioner of Bowie, the Maryland own famous chiefly for its race race. He is because one of his white opponents on the ticket is disqualified in holding office on the ground in length of residence, ownership of property and one of filing his papers as a candidate. He is because Dr. Washington is the third largest individual property owner in the town, not care to jeopardize his real estate holdings by contesting the election. Originally there were but three candidates in the field for commissioner of the certainty of Dr. Washington's election. A minority group raised the race issue and at the last moment put into the race fourth candidate, said to have had the backing of the Ku Klux Klan. There may be some who think the good doctor foolish for not complying the election. They are included.
At his advanced age there are more things more important than holding a town commissionship in a community where civic righteousness is no more highly developed than at Evee.
Cops Good And Bad
Social workers complain that many arrests in our American communities would be unnecessary if cities were able to secure a higher grade of intelligence on the police force. This statement holds true whether or not the racial element is injected.
Liberia offers a case in point. Last week the AFRO carried a news story of how an American, John Hall, of Washington, Pa., John B. Burchard, a burglar hired in his home and through a day and a night kept the entire police force at bay, killing three and wounding eight. Eventually his shop was burned over his head, but when police entered, they found he killed himself.
Double started over the trivial matter of taking bits of food from Hall's Candy Shop without paying for them. Twice he complained to the authorities without redress. The third time he took the law into his own hands and fired into a group of Libyan police. What followed must be reminded former Americans in Libya of mob outrages in our own Southland.
"They got" John Hall allright, and Monroia officials deemed the "getting" of such import that a "general holiday" was declared next day for "thanksgiving." Services of "praise for the safety deference of this city from the dastardly attackers" were held in Trinity Memorial Church and the irony of all lay in the invitation to the Liberian militia and police force, who had caused all lite trouble, to be present. If there be any other lesson worth bearing in this incident it is in the form of "John Hall represents the type of militia to be a threat" which ought to be kept at home.
New Bogie Needed
Forty-seven years ago, the south was struck by a period migration of colored labor. During the recent world war, several hundred thousand colored workers Ulixie farms for the northern factories. The earlier migration however, carried workers to the west and northwest. In both instances southern dailies depreciated the leaving of workers, even the it was to better their condition. They advised better educational facilities and better working conditions as a means of checking the movement. The worst was the period, city and state officials wont further by imposing exorbitant taxes and fines upon labor agents and solicitors operating in the south. Such agents were accused of "enticing our workers" and when other means failed were driven out of town by mob methods. Though the south's labor and its like grabbing a man by his sore thumb. Nor is the north much better.
Witness last week the effusions of the New York "Tribune" which in a copyrighted article sees the flames of Bolshevism kindled by Lenin and threatening at one time to set all Europe ablaze, be quietly centered on the United States. The American Negro Labor Congress with headquarters in Chicago is termed a "plan of the Reds to establish an organization among the members of the race with the idea of selecting certain individuals among them for transportation to Moscow, seize their instrument and operate and stories of Communism; 3rd their return with the purpose of bringing the whole Negro population solidly under the influence of their Red ideas and thus them eventually to strike an effective blow at the Government.
The Tribune style Lovett-Fort Whiteman, former Morgan College student as leader in the movement, beaten with Richard B. Moore of Chicago.
Among the members of the provisional committee the "Tribune" names the following persons: William Bryant, business manager of the Asphalt Workers Union, Milwaukee; Edward L. Doth, organizer of Negro plumbers of Negro work; Phillips, organizer of Llahav; Chicago; Elizabeth Griffin, president of Chicago Negro Women's Household League; Everett Greene, Chicago correspondent of AFRO-AMERICAN, Baltimore; William Scarville of the Pittsburgh American; Charles Henry, representative of unorganized Negro steel workers, Chicago; Otto Hall, 3440 Vernon avenue, Chicago; Walters and Cooks Association, Chicago; Lonshore, Lonshore Protective and Benevolent Union, New Orleans; Otto Huswood, African Blood Brotherhood, New York; Aaron Davis, Neighborhood Protective Association, Toomsba, Miss.; Rosina Davis, secretary of the Chicago Women's Household League. E. A. Lynch, trafical delegate from West African Seamens' Union, Negro workers of Negro Polish man workers, Chicago, and Sahir Karimilj, trafical delegate from Natal Agricultural Workers, South Africa.
The list shows that the Red leaders are all workers and union organizers. Mr. Fort-Wortman, himself a Marylander, spoke here in the interest of his work last year.
He denied any connection between his Congressional role the Russian reds. He said, stood for lawful organizations and propaganda. It stood for the radical overthrow of capitalism and opposition to racial antagonism, segregation and Jim crow, or such other methods as capitalists may use to keep workers in economic bondage.
How seriously he was taken may been seen from the impression of his hearers expressed subsequently in these columns. One referred to him as an "ordinary labor agitator."
Another twisted him on his pronunciation of "Russ-yaa" "Octobah," "Cawn-gress" "nash-un," "articles," "bankhak."
"Still another asked why the workers failed to select one of their number to represent them instead of Mr. Fort-Wortman who gave the impression that he disliked and performed any labor.
Certainly Mr. Whitman did not make so great an impression here upon working people as he did in New York upon capitalists. The truth of the matter is that a new bogle man must. We want one who will frighten the colored as much as it does the whites. Then we will get somewhere.
If labor agents could actually strip the south of labor and the Labor Congress actually organize 51 percent of colored workers, tremendous progress would necessarily result. Under circumstances we understand conclusion that the white man is as easily "scair" as the Negro is understood.
History
During the summer of 1879 political comment, long after adjournment, of congress was kept active by a great Negro exodus from the South to the Northwest most of the emigrants to Kansas. The Republicans ascribed this to ill treatment, the Democrats to the operations of railroad agents. The people of Kansas were sold out, not other of the emigrants, were slow to their manifestations of hospitality, and the exodus soon ceased for a time. It was renewed Carolin's 1881-82 decision to remove to Arkansas. The Southern journals generally advise more liberal treatment of the blacks in matters of education, labor contracts, etc., while none of the Northern or other workmen efforts to get the benefit of their labor, if indeed they ever did.

Why Not Dignify This Love?
Down in Columbia, S. C., last Thursday the late Mrs. Queen Charlotte Elizabeth Morris, age 72, churchyard, white, her active churchyard, white, her active hall bearers all being white members and friends of a family for which she worked most of her life.
Among the many strange contests southern "Mammy" is perhaps the most familiar. Like half human beings they share a love which at times rises to the heights of sacrilege in steem but over all always the cloud of forced debasement hovens.
"Mammy" Morris belongs to a group of human beings which vanishing from this earth for years, from Columbia, perhaps, are "Mammy's" descendants who could not or did not attend the funeral of this faithful soul. These descendants from (the humblest) hotel with their souls free, their heads high, their faith in themselves as human beings unimpaired, than to marble halls with the consciousness of having surrendered the only real thing God gave them.
South Africa
East Indian natives in South Africa, home of black men but where black men are being segregated, are white men and white men there, according to inspired announcements coming from governmental sources.
While the natives will be barred from lands, the East Indians will be allowed all the legal privileges of the whites.
Union of South Africa with the cooperation of the British Empire is trying to head off a storm brewing in India and where sufficiently aroused to make matters difficult for foreign domination like India is doing they too will be able to control the status of white men there.
Some Work For
Now that the executive division of the Department of Education is handling the expansion of the public school satisfaction and the main questions of finance, teacher salaries, building expansion and supervision, the problems surrounding child welfare, parent-teacher clubs of the various schools and the Federation will have an excellent opportunity to improve the problems surrounding child welfare. Even with efficient school buildings, good teachers, faultless supervision, the problems of properly trained children are far from solved. A properly developed school system with a properly developed curriculum per development of each child to successful manhood and womanhood just as a properly developed and cared for pupil for quality raising. But few of our communities will stand the rigid application of standards of success applied to child poverty raising or even dog raising.

No one accustomed to human failures that it makes but a little dent in the folds of our brains when we know that but one out of every five boys and girls who enter the first grade school are a place in life which might be called success.
School Success
The fact is that in the past the custom has been to measure training success by room, while the real and only success can be measured ultimately only by the REALTIME TAKEN IN AND THE NUMBER PROPERLY TURNED OUT. But the school can plainly up ahead of what which reach beyond its sphere of influence. It cannot go into the home: it cannot follow it, nor can they play and in some of the unfortunate environments, which nullify in a few minutes all the influence the school can exert

Why Not Have Band Concerts?
Some time ago Director Huber of the Municipal Department of Music announced that a member had been invited to a concert of a band concert for Baltimore. Numerous inquiries coming to this office prompts the suggestion that it is about time that some one has heard of a band concert that has decided to abandon the policy of having a colored band play during the summer season. There are thousands of people of both sexes who should regard such a policy unfortunate and unwise, especially those who have heard the excellent concerts rendered in the pas^2. The reason involves the practice of racial discrimination in distribution of municipal work. When white directors of municipal departments give limit to the earning capacity of our group and thereby lowers living conditions, producing the relapse of a difference in race and colored death rates and efficiency. Already too many of Baltimore's public departments discriminate in job distribution. Our elected representatives in the municipal instrument might well look into this matter.

Wanting To Be White
Colored Americans are often accused of "wanting to be white," when they say they really want is the freedom and privileges of white persons. They seem ashamed to be colored when in fact they are simply afraid to be colored.
A civilization that puts a handicap on being colored and a premium on being white, suggests to be an adult ought to be proud to show that you are colored. Self-defense is a more primary instinct than pride: pride is a natural instinct that is self-defense. Any act or attitude that is destructive, will not long be supported by pride.
In the United States it means be black than to be white, there would be complete indifference as to color. Why should a beautiful brown skin want to become white, a million malatties have passed over permanently and dastardly into the white race. If passing for white will get a fellow better access to the theatre, immunity from inst in public places, and may even save his life from a mob, only idiots would fail to seize the advantage and be last occasion if not permanently.
Colored near-whiteis are often deprived for lightening their skins and straightening their hair. Why, that is, even a merely human characteristic, that is a universal animal characteristic. Animals take on the color of their skin and self-protection — not because they think the environment is better than they are. Animals insect looks like a walking leaf when in motion, and in the presence of an enemy it hooks quietly among the leaves, to avoid beetle prey upon. Another characteristic is a stick-like come to look like a leaf stem among other leaf stems, to protect itself. For the same reason butterflies blend with the landscape, form and color of the bark and leaves among which they dwell. The wild turkey, the loon and the pardigal blend with the landscape, form and color of the bark and leaves has marked his back with the colors and the linear configurations which make him indistinguishable from the leaves among which he
Science recognizes this as "protective mimicry" among the lower and middle classes, because presumed to have less brains or less disposition to defensive adaptability than has an insect or a snake "is a white family living in a colored neighborhood blacked its faces to avoid insult and escape injury.

Here's A Debater who did not get $1000.
To the Editor:
Please let the public know the truth of how the Mr. Banfield has gone back on his work. He said to me that if I could prove that Sunday, the first day of the week was the proper Sabbath of the Bible today, he would give me $1,000 and he agreed with me for it to be settled or decided by the vote of the people.
I proved it, for I got 246 and he 232 votes and he did not do as he promised, but two weeks after the decision, he put another bluff in the AFRO, that he would give $1,000 to anyone that would prove it.
You see, and everybody else can see plainly that he is nothing but a bluff, that he does not mean anything. I was not expecting the $1,000 at first because I did not think he was worth $1,000 any more than I was. I was glad to tell the people the truth that was in the Bible. That is what pleased me. He has not done anything, he promised to do.
I would be glad to meet any of his best men in a debase the man, the best man, the best men, men who know more than he dees; on the stage, I do not care on the stage, in the court house, or in the church, on the land or on the sea.

Suggests That Money Put Into Churches Be Put Into Commercial Enterprises Which Shall Provide Employment.
To the Editor:
The AFRO news articles tell of a group of pastors checking up on all white concerns doing business in colored neighborhoods for the purpose of forcing the owners of such businesses to coloristen with the amount of business that is done among colored people yearly.
The gentlemen who seem to be generous and generous in the interest of the race need to be highly commended for their effort.
The writer has been told that the committee was open to suggestion relative to what would give members of our group a employment, and force the Israelites whom the committee charges with drawing hundreds of thousands dollars from the coffers of our people yearly, to employ colored help, to make them makenin, in making this prediction, nevertheless we are willing to take the chance.
We prognosticate, that if the committee has power enough to force the organization to white "folks" second hand churches and have them to know that the money they receive should be used in building stores, manufactories and other commercial business which will give our group employment, that we will have the money we need, which will give our people double and treble the amount of employment that our group is able to give at present. We prognosticate, that if the committee is able to stop buying the said "second hand white churches" and put the money from competitors of the Israelites, which will force them to employ our people since competition is the life of the Israelites and a power with a great amount of business acumen.
The plan may not work out all right yet we believe that it is worth trying. More power to the committee.

Heard and Seen In Baltimore
Down on the corner of Eutaw and Franklin Street is an establishment called a shirt hospital. Such places are hard to find; it harder for girls to catch a husband every day.
Many a man who wouldn't fall for moonlight nights, daffy perfume and soft music has been driven into matrimony in order to keep buttons on his shirt.
Of course, it's pretty tough to marry a girl to keep your shirts mended and then find she can't sew.
It's getting so a man has to go courting with a needle and thread to tie his shirt, getting a raw deal. He should make his girl take an examination before he gives her a ring.
A guy ought not think of calling on his sweeie without carrying two or three pairs of old socks along for her to darn.
The way to a man's heart used to be through his stomach but in these days of expensive wearing apparel way to a man's heart is up his back.
A man used to have to marry in order to get some one to wash his clothes, but in these days of steam laundries, a man can get his buttons torn off by machinery.
And the guy who used to wed to get a good cook has learned that he have been just as well of single as he has to eat canned goods anyway.
If there was a shortage of can openers a lot of husbands would starve to death.
Now that they have shirt hospitals a single man won't have to worry about frayed cuffs and ragged collars; neither will a married man because he hasn't any shirt.
Now if somebody will invent a machine to bawl a man out when he comes home late he can get that married feeling without going thru the ceremony.
Married men look tired because after they run around the first half of the night, they have to set up the record book explaining where they have been.
If a man doesn't take his wife with him every time he goes out he won't get any peace when he comes back, and if a dog does her there won't be any use going.
Will all this married men live longer than single men because bachelors haven't anybody that they try to outlive.
It has always been a question whether married men actually live longer than single men or if it just seems longer.
Shirt hospitals may keep a man's clothes mended but they can't tuck them away in bottom of drawers or cart find them or stick them in wash after he has worn them only once.
No one has vet invented a machine that would make a bachelor wear his rubbers or carry an umbrella when it looks like rain.
And then, why doesn't somebody invent an automatic chest rubber when a guy has the gripe, or something that will take the covers off of her when you take up more than half of the bed?
Matrimony would be a success if it wasn't for too things—husbands and wives.
Shirt hospitals will add to the comfort of single men but it takes a regular out hospital to help a married man out of his difficulty.
For a shirt hospital has its limitations. You couldn't expect to carry them buttons and have a shirt sewed on them.
MILD MUSINGS

Summer Song
Oh, the city's mighty cheerful
When the winter's stark and cold.
And you "merely push the bottom"
For your comforts to unfold.
There the streets are never muddy
And the cleanest part of you.
There the most hostile bootleggers
With their gins and bottled brew.
Whenever you do not have a neighbor
That will gossip cross the fence.
For whom meddling in your business
Is a crime, the worse offense.
But I tire of streets and trolleys
When the sun is beaming down.
Of the leg shows and the follies
That are armworms of the town.
Then I long for country homesteads
Or a camp down on the shore.
For a place up in the mountains:
Just for comfort—nothing more.
Then I hear the call of nature
As she sings her summer song.
For a summer for living
From the city's vulgar throng.

Bible, Broom And Bathtub Chief Vehicles Of Race Progress-Nannie Burroughs
BY NANNIE H. BURROUGHS
in the Southern Workman
"The Negro race is a child race."
This fact was often repeated by the late Booker Washington to be used to put first things first. The cultivation of divine gifts—things of the spirit — is first in the building of individuals and
The Negro is highly endowed with things of the spirit—love, forbearance, gentleness, meekness, forgiveness, patience, forgiveness, cultivating them. Gifts of the spirit are made to races for three fundamental purposes, to enable them to live, to own boot straps as it were; to lay secure foundations on which to build materially, and to make valuable contributions to the community of, but conjoined with, other races. The first thing for a race to learn is the value of gifts of the spirit and the power to oppose moral stamina, self-respect, independence, and courage within, and secure respect from without. Thus panopliae are given tasks and tasks to battle unaffraid.
The Negro has undermined his spiritual and moral vitality, by cultivating an insatiable desire for higher virtues. As a result, he sits apathetic and paralytic before his great moral task of rescuing the valiant and selfless friends have done too much bragging about his material progress. He brages about what he owns, but he goes to others for what he needs. He is not sure should have been given to the development of qualities of soul. Despite his bragging "something inside of him," he is putting on the right armor. Despite his supernatural display of things material, he heads the receiving line before anthropists for gifts for his mulit.
Complete absorption of that, time, and strength to the acquisition of material things, spells moral death and spiritual death. In his military state of mind is conflated into believing that things—houses, land, bank accounts, second-hand knowledge, and rights—will get him place of power in the war. The will not. He cannot catch up with the Anglo-Saxon materially, but he can catch up with him spiritually and morally. His progress is measured in physicals and dollars and brains, in themselves, the Negro will be—by comparison, for centuries, contemptibly poor. Why, there is an automobile manufacturer, one of the biggest magnets in Chicago who could buy everything which the race owns and then have enough money left to keep on producing cars and mailing clothes. One other manufacturer in Chicago who could manufacture in Ohio has to keep the Negro moving physically than the Negro has done for himself in that particular. But where is the Negro going and what is he going to get he gets there? That's the question.
Despite the fact that the race is travelling at high speed materially, it cannot get within hailing distance of the race that has a thousand yennies. The Amelio-Saxon, on his own nerve, initiative and inventions has stopped riding and gone to flying. The Negro has no plane but he can carry it. The Negro has no plane but he can carry it. The Negro has did first. That is how he got the plane. The Negro must use his brains to supply some vital needs. This civilization is in great need of gifts of the spirit, but has no material to give. The Negro will destroy herself and revert to barbarian if she continues to cultivate the things of the flesh and neglect the Negro. Therefore, contribute to her doom, but must ransom her.
Furthermore, it will profit the Negro nothing to enter into ungodly competition for material possessions. The most valuable contribution which he can make to American civilization must be made out of his spiritual endowment. He must do this by the devotion of the degree of America. She needs it. Without it she will never dispense justice, and will be consumed by her own folly and wrath. The Negro has helped save America, and he must make a larger contribution to her spiritual salvation. Who knows but that the divine purpose for bringing him into this country was that, in due time he must make just such a contribution.
The tracedy in this problem-solving enterprise is that the Negro is not being taught the tremendous achieving power of his virtues. He is not being taught the tremendous power. When he learns that he has the leaven that is needed in this American lump, he will put it in. In other words, he will proceed to use his spiritual powers and give new strength to his Beatitudes, and at the same time, give new imputes to the development of a real Christian civilization.
When the Negro learns what manner of man he is spiritual, he will play white, even on the stage. He will rise in the majesty of his own soul. He will skim. He will stop thinking white and go to thinking straight and living right. He will realize that wrong reasoning have "most night ruin" him, and he will redeem his body and rescue his soul from the bondage of that death. He will realize that races are computed almost entirely in terms of high ideals and noble purposes lived up to. Jesus told his ambitious, maternal, and glorious glory the glory which they craved—it is not here and it is not there—it is within you. In other words, it is not what you are inside of that count, that counts.
I believe it the Negro's sacred duty to spiritualize American life and worshiping the color (or lack of color) of another race. It can be done in Negro life, in pictures, in plays, in movies, in paintings, in spending as much time glorifying his own character as he now spends imitating the color and fobles of the white race, in loving and beloved and the most lovely race in the world. His happy spirit and varied hue make him the very spice of among other races, rich in richness of quality and color than the Negro. Some day he will realize it and glorify them. He will popularize black. He actually use the bathub, the Bible, and the broom—weapons and emblems of health, righteousness, and industry, and make him a model of love of loviness and beauty. It is within him—within his grasp—within his power—within his group. If he uses her elegantly, the race will "rise"
God wants to help the Negro work out his own salvation. The Negro need not be skeptical as to the outcome, because the Almighty His His Son has been working with individual or race to prove that the weapons of His welfare are not carnal, but spiritual.

Cicles Of Race

For a timely sermon to preach to the
entire race, I would paraphrase and
analyze Solomon's wisdom-getting ad-

Get houses—but with all your getting—get homes.
Get forces—but with all your getting—get standards.
Get your rights—but with all your getting—get right."
Preachers, leaders, welfare workers ought to address them by teaching the entire race to glorify what it—has its face its color. its place its homes and communities. its grace its people. Negro does it. here is no earthly force that can stay him.

"For fifteen years I have been using Black-Draught, when needed, for billiousness and constipation," says Mr. J. O. Woolard of Oriental, N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it.
"I have found that Theford's BLACK-DRAUGHT
purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it.
"I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that.
"My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this."

CHATTER
BY NOAH M. THOMPSON
Howdy, Fink! It seemed that each and every individual who could scatter and vacate from the city over the holiday, did it happen. A celebration has passed, there still remains a multitude of "Puffie and twinkle to be ignited so to speak," in radio Woe from the Quaker City, and heard the weather man state that the degrees above zero in the past week and he predicted extra warm weather next week that the city will also stay above zero in the heavens to find it out either, but he happened to be at the Mason Library accompanied by their Mother, Mrs. Joseph Mason, stepped off the train last Friday, evening. The parents and relatives and friends for two weeks.
A joyful crowd of sweet things and artworks, exerts, chaperoned by Mrs. L. Jones, including Miss Maragaret Jones, Lola Mallory, Ola De Neal, The Edwards, and Maurtaus Smith, Kermit Lee, Walter Smith, Bill Matthews, Hiram Butler, Famage and a most delightful picnic Monday July 4th, which consisted of a 30 mile motor trip into the county.
The bunch left at an early hour in the morning and returned at noon. Plenty of delightful eats, which were prepared by the belles, a selected shady spot surrounded by water, located just off the main road, and sweet melodious music straying away from the Ukes, just put the picnic over in the rarest kind of form. At noon the crowd returned to the city, and on the following afternoon was entertained by Miss Lola Mallory, with a little dancette at her residence on Myrtle Avenue, and so ended a prefect day.
By the way, Miss Louise Coleman left the city last Saturday morning for Washington where she is visiting her relatives and friends indefinitely.
We are about to send detectives out to round up Miss Ray Porter a very popular petite blonde and student at a private school. We haven't seen her in quite a while. Miss Mildred Grinnae entertained about thirty guests who were invited to the Pikeykids Museum, day all July 4th. It is stated that a keen time was witnessed by all. The out of town guests included Miss Alice Oren of Washington, D. C.

TIGER FLOWERS & ROSENBLOOM IN 10 RD. DRAW
Chicago Bout Fought In Rain Before A Slim Crowd At Ball Park
GEORGIA DEACON UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS
Handspring At End Of The Bout Floors Astonished Opponent
CHICAGO.—"Tiger Flowers" the Georgia Deacon and ex-middleweight champion who is on a barnstorming tour went 10 rounds to a draw with Maxie Rosenbloom, white, of New York at the White Sox Park here Monday night, July 4.
Flowers went into the fray a slight favorite and it was the general opinion that the ex-champ would gallop off with the decision. Flowers tipped the beacon at 167 and Rosenbloom, 166. It was a catch weight bout, no official poundage having agreed upon.
The first eight rounds were fought in a steady rain, which failed to slow up either boxer. Both fought fast, putting plenty of power in pinches. Attendance was only 10%. Few was the amount of advance ticket sale.
Flowers slipped to the floor in the sixth round but he lost his footing more because of the wet canvas than by Rosenbloom's punch. The New Yorker was slipping as much as Flowers and neither did the other much damage. The opponent somersault after the bout, of Flower's feet, struck Rosenbloom but flooding him. Maxie was surprised by "Tiger" rushed up and shook his hand.
Experts declared after the fight that if Flowers had had insisted on slapping with an open clove in the fists he would have easily defeated Rosenbloom.
The preliminaries outshine the main fight by far, as the little fellows really fought. The semi-windup prowess of fluke when Emmanuel Jondis, a Greek who evidenced that he served out of the kitchen, took on the chin delivered by Big Bill Tate, found a soft spot and turned in for the evening. If Jondis is in a fighter no failed to impress the crowd that booed him generously.
In the preliminaries "Mr. Sullivan outpointed Harry Dudley of California in six rounds. Rus Wichman crumbled, Rus six rounds. Johnson trained Mickey Forkins and Patsy Rocco and Chief Ekart drew in four rounds.

McGovern Could Making Monke
McGovern Couldn't Stand Gans Making Monkey Out Of Him
By HYPE I. Goe, N. Y. World
The world at large doesn't know that Terry McGeevern knocked out Joe Gans on two different occasions. Here is a story of the first knockout that never has been told until now. Paddy Donnelly, famous as a referee, is sponsor for the story, for he was trained in "ho" held the watch on the bolt.
Both Gans and McGeevern were training for bouts at Billy McElroy's at 167th and Jerome Avenue. Gans was conditioning himself for his fight with Wilmington. Each day, for him, was trained up for Tommy White, said Donnelly in telling the story.
"It so happened that the wives of both boxers visited the camp one day. Terry had been boxing with Charley Kelly. When he had finished, Gans said to him, "Terry let's give the girls an exhibition. Time we put a little boxing show on for them."
"All right with me. Let's go," said Terry, who weighed but 120 pounds at the time. "Paddy," Terry added, "the start of nicely enough Gans could always outbox Terry and he began to demonstrate that face for the edification of Mrs. Gans, who sat outside the ropes with her two children. Mrs. McGeevern's younger nestied in her arm. Terry dived into the idea of bending up before his missus. Gans naked him a few more times and then Terry began to boil.
"He crushed. He was mad any time he crumbled. Both women began to scream. He let Joe walk and landed clearly on the point. Joe tottled, and as he roared, McGovern broused over a smashing right to Joe's neck and Joe pitched over flat on his face. By this time the women could be heard for blocks. They were in a panic. Joe was out cold for five minutes. When he came to be asked:
"What's all this? What's the matter? What happened? What knocks? What's that what? I knock anybody dead who tries to make a monkey out of me before my wife." Terry as he walked away toward the door leading to the dining room. As he stepped into the room, Gans shook himself loose from us and started

Battling Chink Withdraws;
Lefty Cooper Beats Nathan
In Two Rounds
"Della" Campbell, the fighting Y. M. C. A. welterweight, smacked, punched and pelted "Bobby" Turner around the arena for two rounds and came back in the third session, sooked the latter with a terrific right jab to the chin that sent him sailing to the floor for a knockout, in the first summer boxing games at the Durd Hill Y. M. C. A., Friday night.
Campbell sent Turner down in the second round for a count of nine and a second later floored his opponent again but this time the bell saved him. He also won the first frame by a wide margin.
In the opening preliminary bout Clarley Tater won a close three round decision over "Bushy" Fennell. Both weighed 126 pounds.
"Kid" Moody, local lightweight champ of the "Y" cuffed Battling Chinck around like a whirlwind for three rounds and won the bout on a technical knockout when the latter bleeding profusely from the mouth the beginning of the fourth france. Moody showed his old time form.
Robert Lee of the "Y" was outpointed by "Billy" Matthews in the third preliminary bout which went four rounds.

"Lilly" Cooper, sensational Dougass High mauler presented the top-notch thrill of the evening when he knocked out John Nathan, who was substituted for John Banks in the second of their scheduled four round bout. Cooper, who always opens up like a "Georgia Cyclone" had Nathan dizzy at the end of the first frame. Then on the opening bout he stanza he rushed his opponent, getting a left hook over the heart that sent him down for the count. Both were wetterweights.
The bouts were all fast, clean and thrilling.

JAPANESE MARRY OUR WOMEN ON PACIFIC COAST
LOS ANGELES. Cal. (ANP) - Inter-marriages between Japanese men and colored women in California are increasing daily due to the fact that the stringent United States immigration laws and the stopping of "picture bride" importations to California has resulted in a surplus of $15,000 Nipponese over the total number of women. Homes are invariably sought in the clearer, modern and more attractive colored residential sections where the two races live in harmony and in many cases intelligent, beautiful children result from the interracial union.

210,000 Dip In Druid Hill Pool In Seven Years
An Average Of Two Thousand Per Week Attend The Aquatic Mecca To Escape Swoltering Summer Days
College Athletes Will Spend Summer Earning Tuition
Amherst Trainer Called Dean
BY WALTER L. REEVES, JR.
A desire for a cool summer breeze, and the lime of chilly waters has carried the 400 aquatic lovers to the Druid Hill Park Pool within the last seven years.
Without the white sand beach and the gray capped waves that bring thousands of vacationists to Atlantic Ocean resorts, the Druid Hill Pool although less than 10 feet deep, with a cement bottom entertains 2000 weekly. On Sundays, the biggest day in the week, 1100 to 1300 persons come out to enjoy the water. Even the hotest week day will not bring out over 100, and the decrease is due to so many people being employed that cannot make the early closing hours.
There are some interesting things to note about the Druid Pool and its operation. P. D. G. Pennington, Pennington has been there since the opening seven years ago, Chas. Harris, an attendant is the only person on the staff who has been in active service with Mr. Pennington since the opening.
College Athlete Summer
BY WALTER L. REEVES, JR.
Every year after school closes for the summer vacation the folk back home beckon the return of the boys to play football, basketball, football, baseball, basketball, or clipped off a new time on the cinder track. There is a score of students graduates of Douglass High who have returned for the summer.
Glascog Mack
Glasscoe Mack, former captain and star end in the "Ducks" aggregation blew into town the other day from Howard University, spent a few hours with the home folks and scouted the team. He missed the pass the summer. Mack used to play more football than any man on Coach Gibson's outfit. He skirted his opponents' ends at will, stopped every man who attempted to round his position and was always year on year on the Hilltop but for some unknown reason however, did not go out for the Bison machine last season.
Pendleton Brothers
Those two Pendleton boys, Clarence and George, both Howard students arrived in town several days ago. When it comes to athletics, both can do a little bit of everything. Doing the marathon swim fad Clarence accompanied by Clarence Tartar swim across the bay, a distance of about 10 miles, both areistance runners. They will remain here with their parents this summer returning to Howard University next fall.
BY WALTER REEVES. JR.
To Dwight Newport, who for years has been a familiar figure in the athletic and sporting life of Amherst College, goes the title of "Dean of College Trainers" in America.
For 39 years, Newport a towering six foot man with broad shoulders and a broad grin has walked the grounds of the old Massachusetts seat of learning and seen them come and go. From President Calvin Coolidge on down the line to the most obscure student who ever dunned a pair of running shoes, basketball trunks or the heavy shoulder pads of the gridiron.
It was under Newport's careful training that Charles Drew, now Coach at Morgan College made one of the best football records of any athlete of color since the days of
The pool was first opened on a 13
week's schedule. The hours were to
be from 9 to 9 daily and 9 a.m. to 6
p.m. Sunday. The admission one
child under three, 3c for
children between 6 and 12, and 5c
per hour for adults.
Emptied Weekly
The water is emptied once a week from the two pools and they are scrubbed clean. The flow when the pools are filled is continuous. One of the basins is for bathers who cannot swim and is from $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $4\frac{1}{2}$ feet deep, while the second basin is for those more experienced and is from $4\frac{1}{2}$ to $9\frac{1}{2}$ feet deep. Since the opening there has not been a single fatality.
The Baltimore City Park Board has charmed the operating of the Druid Hill Pool. Over two thousand water lovers leaped dlp in the Druid Hill Park Pool Sunday and Monday. Mr. Pennington said 600 were on hand the Sabbath day while the number almost tripled on July 4, a legal holiday.
Jerome Wood
Jerome Wood, former Douglass High basketball star perhaps drew more plaudits from the home jokers than any of the boys last winter. The young "Duck" went to Howell and the team's coach, who right off the reel. Conach Burr of the Bisons said at the beginning of the season that he counted upon Wood as being one of his best men. The sudden praise and press comments did not swell the Baltimore's head, and he broke into the game staving off defeat time and again before the toppers'. Wood will probably pass the summer at the New Jersey seashore.
From Lincoln "I"
Baltimore is very much represented at Lincoln University. There is Leon Roye, manager of the track team, Lewis Harmon, captain-elect of the basketball team, Robert Bennett and Everett Troy, who btw in town after commencement and hastened away to some other berg where he met a former friend like Mack was a great little football player while at Douglass and last year he performed at tackle for the Lions.
"Bob" Bennett also a "Duck" performed in the backfield when playing with the locals. He was looked upon as a good ball carrier.
Harmon took his basketball with him from Douglass and soon made a place for himself on the Lions varsity crest. He made this the court easily earned for him the captaincy of the Pennsylvania for next season. He also played football here but did not go out for the orange team at Lincoln
"Duke" Slater at Iowa and "Fritz" Pollard at Brown. To the redblooded youth, freed from their classrooms Newport is better thought of that the professors on the track, in the gym or on the gridiron to them he is the dean. When they are injured it is Newport who decides whether they should come out of the game on the field is Newport who dresses their wounds. Newport has recently brought his son Edward Newport to the campus who is following his father's footsteps. As an athlete Newport is one of the best pugilists in the game. Many a yung blade has picked him off the field as Newport Charles Porter, although he has not been in athletics as long as Newport, is also gaining a reputation at New City College as a trainer. Porter was formerly at the University of Syracuse. He is a college graduate from New City College Coach Keyne, white, who was for many years coach at Syracuse.

HOW A MAN SUFFERING FROM THE EFFECTS OF DISSIPA-TION, ETO MORTALITY
ION, ETC. MAY FEEL
He is lonely, tired, lustful, indifferent, and unfeeling. His brain does not function properly, his memory may be poor, the eye lacks its former luster, the gloomy thoughts and is usually irritable, crosses and easily annoyed, as he has run down, worn out, and is easily wants to be alone. He is nervous in the presence of someone who has pinples on the face or back, dares him to look at the eyes, coated tongue, foot and hands perspire. He feels that he has had an irregular life, and he hesitates to speak to every normal man should possess. He fears that his condition may be irreducible, and he hesitates to seek aid from a competent Specialist. He leads a double life, outwardly acting in a vain attempt to wardly a prey to his secret worries. Such a sufferer should imitate the specialist who understands such a specialist who be treated before it is too late.

Razz Chorus And Crowling Fans Turn Out Sunday
A Questionable Decision By Umpires Spencer And Cromwell is "Raw Meat" To The Restless Fans
Saturday, July 9, 1927
BY WALTER L. REEVES, Jr.
"Take him out." "Oh Mr. Ump." "Botten." "Dirty him." are just the beginning of hundreds of epithets heard at McKinley Park Sunday when the Black Sox are engaging an opponent.
The baseball fan believes in personal freedom and says what he pleases, regardless of the effect it may have on the players.
Last year near the close of the season the local fans razed Ben Tavar to death. "Uncle Ben." "You old and countless words were wurked at him, but Tavar ignored them. This season is the pride of their hearts. They are fickle and old ball
players.
"Bob" McClure was always addressed as Old Bob "why don't you quit the game. "You can't pitch," but this season the elongated fellow from Text has come in all over LOOK MISCUES SHOULD ALL OF THEM MISSUES Managers use the impure calls players using on out close plays and stands go wild, but when he gives it to the home team the rooter belts "murder, robber, thief and rascal." The prevailing ump might think something but he does not answer back.
The effect of criticism of this nature on ball players is some time useful and has much to do with the way a team plays. The Brooklyn Royals for instance have won the nong club, and when they are team they are dealt with you can't play well beat 'em Sox, and sometimes out of ten that's the way the visitors play.
Beckwith, Ropo, Charleston, Lundy, Rivan, the Hildaleast, Lundy, "Rats," Henderson, "Bond" Day, "Nip" Winters, and "Bill" Warfield are among the heroes the fans like to chant about everytime they come to
There are others who draw a big jazz and so it goes in all walks of life somebody is going to be the great and so the tame ease their emotion at the expense of the ball play-
TAYLOR'S BAT WINS FOR SOX IN 10TH
TAYLOR'S BAT WINS FOR SOX IN 10TH
PHILADELPHIA — The Baltimore Black Sox batted out a 10-inning victory over Ed. Bolden's Hilldale Club when the Maryland outfit put a quart of runs in the first inning of overtime play, winning the game on Wednesday. Phil Cookrell, of Hilldale, spitbait hurler, was the victim of the Baltimore rally in the tenth and was chased in favor of Campbell, after Manager Taylor clouted a six-run field with the ball defended, that drove in two runs. The visitors also put on more runs before the game has resisted.
The Black Sox got off to a one run lead in the first inning, when Jackson was safe on a fielders' choice, and Jud Wilson tripled to center. Hildale tied it up in the fourth on Thomas' walk, his steal of second and Bill Johnson's infield hit. The Daisies added another in the second inning, advanced to second on Cockrell's sacrifice and scored on Warfield's single to right field. The visitors appeared to have the game in the bag in the eighth inning, when they scored three runs. The Sox did the bases when Cockrell gave Wilson an interception and electedington shot a double to left field and Sox dug the rubber. Taylor's sacrifice fly admitted Wilson with the third run. The Darby Daisies scored another in the eighth and tied it up in the ninth. When Bill Johnson's double the only extra-base hit, Coals, a sacrifice by Sceens and Briggs, a sacrifice fly proceeded the run.

The Black Sox hope of copping the first half in the Eastern League went glimmering when they split a double header with the Harrisburg Giants, here Sunday, the opener going to the visitors 10 to 6 and the nightcap to the locals,
The 1500 fans present saw some of the most terrific clouting seen at the locals' lot for many a moon. Charleston, home run king who slammed out the longest hit of the season a day or so ago at harrisburg collection both were the first of the slants of Yokley in the first contest and sailed high over centerfield fence. These two clouts ran the Senator's total up to 12 "Johnny" Beckwith. He hit the circuit smash in the thirdenth circuit smash in the first game at the expense of Yokley. His clout sailed high over left field fence and evidently fell in the bay. Other homers were made by Candy. Giants and Eggleton of the locals in the second field, both cleared the fence.
Layman Yokley, the collegiate ace had the visitors eating out of his paw during the first five frames of the first game, while D. Cooper opposing him was held up in the sixth, the visitors collected four tallies including homers by Eggeston and "Beck". In the latter half Jackson's double to left got Cooper in trouble and the Sox counted twice. Charleston cast, a shadow gloom over the coliseum, gave that him to the showers in the seventh when he potted another homer over right field fence, the ball landing near the Western Maryland railroad tracks. Force and McChure in turn were sent in to stop the visitors while Cooper lasted thru the
Second Game
Samuel Cooper, who was selected to twirl in the second encounter was followed by three more flinging men. The first two, Carlie and Craig were socked behind the mound held local at his mercy. McClure was topped for five blows and five runs.
Six Hills For Ben
Taylor was the big gem with the stick for the locals, with six on eight rebounds, including two doubles. Jackson collected five bingles including two doubles and a triple in ten trips to the nubber. Washington and Holloway made sensational catches. Three doubles for his wonder playing at first. The little Cuban fielded bad throws with ease. The Sox collected a total of 25 bingles, while the Giants hung up 15 during the two games. Next the locals will meet the cadden in Professionals, white at Maryland Park.

Lincoln Giants Take Two
NEW YORK, N. Y.-The attendance at the Oval Eval Sunday, July 3, showed no loss of popularity for the Lincoln Giants, despite the fact they are no longer members of the Eastern League. As many fans as have been present at this park all season, saw the Giants defeat the White Plains Pro, the White Plains nines, the Local team won the first game by a score of 5-3 and the other 8-5. Montalvo did not get his usual run but he succeeded in making a single and a double in three times at bat against the Philadelphia team and a single in three times up against White Plains. George Scales hit a homer during the first game. John Lloyd also did well against the Professional and two singles in four trips to the plate. A feature of the second game was the catching of Flood, who has up to the present time been acting as a trainer for the local team.

vo
---
CHICAGO, Ill.-At the meeting of the directors of the National League held here several days ago, it was voted to add a $200 fine to the thirty-day suspension netted our league for the trip to Japan, namely Frank Duncan, Monarchs catcher and Lefty Cooper, Detroit pitcher.
The other two men, Dixon of Harrisburg and Mackey of Hilo will be accorded the same treatment in the league if the agreement between the two organizations holds Secretary Q. J. Gilmore notified President Nutter of the Eastern Mutual Baseball Association of the ruling immediately after it had been decided on.
FIVE YEARS FOR MONTALVO
The Montalvo matter was taken up and disposed of in short order. If the Cuban outfielder does not report to the owner of the Western-Cubans, August Molina, before the close of the 1927 season, he draws a five-year suspension from organized baseball. If he does not return then his punishment will be imposed.
THE CLEVELAND DROPS
The Cleveland Hornets have withdrawn from active membership in the league for the first of the season. They have made it able to make enough money over and above their transportation costs to maintain their ball club and will play only exhibitions with league clubs from now on out. The excessive rain has made it hard on all the clubs in the league who were forced, by the first-half schedule to be on the road most of the time.

Senators Beat Santops
HARRISBURG. — The Harrisburg Giants defeated Santops Bronchos here Saturday in a lousely played contest 14 to 8. Craig, formerly of the Lincoln Giants started for the locals, but was relieved in the sixth by Mungin. Hughes of the visitors clouted a homerun.
Moons Cop 3 Out Of 4
By winning two contests by a score of 9 to 0. on a forfeit when the East Baltimore A. C. failed to show up Sunday, the Silver Moon Tossers came back Monday and split 4 to 1, bleader with the nightcap aggregation, copting the nightcap 13 to 1, and dropping the opener 11 to 1.
Next Sunday, the Moon outfit will meet the Joe's again at Patterson
Sluggers Take Another
The Baltimore Sluggers easily downed the Sarrel A. C. white, 7 to 4 Monday. The game was featured by the hitting of Meekins of the Sluggers who collected a homer and double out of four times up.
PENNANT CONGEDED TO BACHARACHS
Atlantic City Team Has Played 45 Games And Black Sox Only 37 In Struggle
FIRST HALF OF RACE TO END ON SUNDAY
Commissioner Cut Second Half Of Schedule To Forty Games.
BY THE ARBITER
The Bacharach Giants now leading the league by over 70 points have virtually copped the first half as the pennant race ends Sunday when the Hulbert Daisies meet the Cuban stars at Newark, N.J.
The fight for the winner of the first half in the league race has been a hot one. The Black Sox topped the circuit for nearly two months then weakened two weeks before the close, giving the Seasiders a chance to forge ahead. A poor, good team of the clubs had more games listed than the locals caused criticism from many fans. The Bacharachs have played 45 games, Hildale, 48. Cubs, 43 and Black Sox, 37, Lincoln, 38, Royals, 32, Harrisburg, 46. The Sox are due eight more games to the league and the Lincoln Giants put up a hard fight to hold the lead, while the Bees and Sox were fighting it out to cop third or fourth place. The turning point came for the locals when the pitcher of Livingston College joined the team and chalked up six straight victories before he was tapped. In the meantime "bob" McClure was pitching winning ball and when Montalvo disrupted the Lincoln and Harrisburg took a decided into shoes and staved there.
The first half of the race has been a thrilling one for the Cubans too and many times it was thought they would cop the pennant. Dibigo with his home runs, aided by the superb hurling of Sans and Oscar several times put the Islanders within reach of first position.
Hilldale
The biggest disappointment during the first half has been the Hilldale club which heretofore has always been a winning aggregation. Warfield and his crew could not win even though his team Pawtucket has hung out good ball. With Briggs now leading the Darby gang they might spring a surprise and case up toward the top in the next half.
Brooklyn Royals
The Brooklyn Royals with the continued on Gal. 73 NLKES have been out of sight in the league started at the bottom and will finish in the same position. The team has a terrific bunch of batters, but listless playing and ineffective pitching has been their jinx. If the New Yorkers can get straight out in this next game cause a hard fight for all opposing clubs.
Commission Meets
The Commissioners cut the second half of the league schedule to four games with the opening game at Cedar Park and Hartford at Atlantic City.
The Black Sox do not play until Sunday, July 17, at which time the Hildale team will be entertained here. The locals will meet the Darby team in nine contests. The Bees eight, Hamburg, eight, Cincinnati, eight, Boston, eight, six. The season will close September 17; the Royals meeting the Cubans at Brooklyn. The Black Sox will engage in their last contest Sunday, September 11, when the Cubans will appear here. According to the schedule the following clubs have to play in the off-season: Black Sox 38, George Bacharachs, 35; Harrisburg 31; Hildale, 36; Cubans, 31, and The Royals, 25. This does not include doubleheaders in some instances.
GIANTS MAKE CLEAN SWEEP WITH BEES
HARRISBURG. Pa.—Wed. In the fastest game they have played on Is-
sward this year the Harrisburg Giants defeated the Bacharach Giants by the score of 4 to 2, making a clean sweep of the series here.
Brilliant fielding, coupled with effective pitching by Sam Cooper, en-
abled the Harrisburg aggregation to overtake the Bacharachs in the next
after the inning. Perez and Day, at first and second, provided the fielding sensa-
tions for Colonel Strothers' team and Lundy and Lewis starred for the
Bacharachs.

HILLDALE BEATS SOX TWICE ON MONDAY
PHILADLPHIA. (Monday. July 4)—Giltedge hurling on the part of Nip Winters and Red Ryan and great fielding on the part of the team. Bolden's Hilldale Club to cop both games of the holiday bill at Hilldale Park from the Baltimore Black Sox. The morning encounter went to the Daisies by the score of 6 to 2 and the home team also bagged the afternoon contest. 3 to 2
Nip Winters was handed the assignment to hurl the morning game and the big southpaw held the opponents to six widely-scattered hits and but for a wreck throw off Wilson at second the Marylanders would have been held to a single tally. Lefty Pritchett, who was on the hill for the visitors in the first game, lost his stuff in the sixth inning and singles by Judy Johnson, Stevens and Winters and had that game sweep over the plate and put the game on ice. Winters had perfect control and did not issue a single pass during the game.
In the afternoon game Red Ryan pitched good ball and also was a potent factor in the game. He was a triple and lugging one of the runs over the platter. Strong, who scored a victory over the Daisies in Saturday's game, attempted to come back after a single day's rest. He was quite effective, but Ben Taylor's error in the seventh inning paved the way for Stewart to seek out two hits in the second game and also pulled off two great stops and throws that saved Ryan a lot of trouble.

MARSEILLES. Frances—To give, as I promised in my last, the reasons why Marseilles with her colored hat has no color disturbances, while as at Chicago or Carteret, would cause a riot. I asked a good name. French people, on and off the tarmar, try this should be. and in nearly every case the reply was the answer. Suppose for instance that an American Nordie were to take that same country and take it as a part of people being denied their rights that they had red hair or some physical characterisie they were unable to change. further that people who have been burnt alive what Nordie think of Vesperia mental? What they would find is what the average European does think of America, and what people whom I questioned
Worst Element Of Europe In U. S. A
One of them gave as the reason
the allegation that the European
people mistreated to America. "Amer-
cian he said, 'Is only a European
colony after all.' The European
regime whites Americans is not
so concerned. Indeed, it is so
concerned with no special love for

No American Gentleman.
The story which told them set
out to tell could tell the most im-
pressive. The first begins as follows: "The
other day I met an American
gentleman who 'cried' the most
you win, there am not no such
animal."
The story and their way to the
European people do not help to impo-
ration and many white Americans
seek to inform Europeans that
they come from the part of
America where these attitudes are
Iu: A Restaurant
Some days ago in a restaurant in
Boston I was a tall dark Negro with
both hair cuttered and an earlobe
cut. I was sitting in the long table
in the wall between two white
men. At once the one on his right
french was closer to his companion
with the one on the left seemed
to be more interested in the
lady. I went to Negro and soon discover
the one he was from the French
Worries home and was an actor who
had minor parts in several
assorted movies and the Poles-Bergure.

Garvey. I am to be the only Negro in
America that the majority of white
people hear about. All of

Wishing to explain to my question that a third would be taken off Garvey's sentence for good behavior I said "un tiers" (one-third) but failing to get the "tiers" over I turned to the two white men on the right, who had been listening eagerly to me, for aid, whereupon one of them replied: "We don't know French so well ourselves. We are Americans."
Frenchman Gets Excited
The question ensued, during what he looked "What I want to know" and raising his voice and glancing at the attention of nearly everyone, he did not. All they are asking is he able to live like a man

pealing to me, asked me if it weren't true.
Personally I was enjoying their discomfiture, but I recalled the light of welcome in the eyes of both when I told them I was an American, and gave the desired assurance.
The Workers Differ
To return where I began. Another
chapter, a big difference between the
psychology of the French workingman
and that of the American one. The
sympathetic since he had felt the
pression of the bourgeoisie and the
nobility, and saw in the Negro, a fel-
gory like myself, while the
latter had been more maniacal
he was one with his master because
of color. The American worker, he
had even fought to uphold
slavery and even that that was
against his own interests.
French Law Strict
To these and other reasons I will add the two following: first, the law in France is very strict. To illustrate that in France the drug stores are to close on Sunday while most of the other places are open. As I write I have before me a newspaper clipping telling of an inquest into the death of a pharmacy and although the man was in a dying condition — she died a few minutes later — the drugguest would not run the risk of violating the law. I could multiply in that case and have been much in the French courts.
Don't Call Names
It is a criminal offense to call names, and I am waiting for the first cracker who calls me "nigger" to teach him a lesson. A few months ago, I was fined two hundred francs and costs for calling a ticket-taker an ambeite. I had always thought the Javert of Javert in Les Colonies was the location of North Africans, as I said, are not Continued on Galley 2. Contin, from No. L- Rogers's story much liked but let a group of French people try to mob one and the police land on them like a ton of bricks.
All Most Enter Army
The second reason: French governmental policy is strictly opposed to withdrawn military presence from without it is anxious to maintain national unity. Much is dependent on keeping its colored citizens in good tempest, where the War Department refused to give colored men training unless there were groups of fifty or more, the student from the French colonies, black or yellow, finished his studies, he is compelled to enter the army for one year, and it is not a matter of course that he diffused to get a publisher or an editor to print an anti-Negro book or article in France as the same is easy in America and that he could be called that when French Parliament who in such a case would at once raise the cry of "the enemy within". He replied that when Americans raised the color bar in Paris some raised the color bar in America raised the color bar in
Military Necessity
And this is not to say that all French people are bursting with love for black men, that all welcome him and enjoy seeing him strolline the houseards arm in arm with a beautiful white woman. I am told that many would not see him but say but dare the military necessity. Besides the black men fought, not in separate ranks, but side by side with Frenchmen in the last generality grateful. It is this service that has even the black men so much prestige in France, and that has been more than the French, a fact that America's treatment of their race serves to heighten. Am I to believe before the war the Negro was a little thought of in France and that the white women would associate with him only unceasecely. In my own article I plan to give the names and the positions held by some of the French Negroes.
I had hoped to include an account of a visit to the Château d'Iffle, famous now for France's most famous Nice, where I was too strong for every day I was here. The chateau is on a small rocky island out in the sea, and the chateau is quite secluded. The large number of boats some of which are quite largely devoted to that special place, is the favorite place of visitors. If fortune favors me I hope to be back here in the winter on my way to Egypt and North Africa, however, I will be at Avignon, former home of the Pope, and a great wine district.

A QUESTION: TO BEND AND NOT BREAK
A small old Mole Matkathan, three years old, was a man of years marched up to the sink with a haughty command. "Ant drink!" "Say 'please'," replied his mother, and said, "I drink the glass, and drink for a while." "Say 'please,' kindly insisted the mother, holding the glass of water in her hand as she waited for the child's return. "A little boy," said the boy, very stamp of his foot. "Son," said his mother, "you cannot have a drink until you say 'please,' and ask him to take a drink." "But," said the boy, brimly answered the baby, "liling his head back and lookings his mother full in the eyes with such a defiant expression, it made her catch her head, and she was full of playing hard and was warm and no doubt very thirsty. She wished she had quietly handed him a drink, ignoring the slipset lapse in manners. "Let it pass," said he, "let it pass now, for he must be taught obedience as well as manners." "No, son, you must ask mother properly," said he, "because he has not been told he began to whimper and insist on a drink. His mother placed the glass she had been holding in her hand on the table, and seating herself on the bed, and, after her with his hand, she coaxed him, telling him how easy is would be to say the one little word "please" as he always had done. She could not in disdain of her own, but she was not perplexed. It was near the dinner hour, and she had older children, her husband and help to cook for, so felt she must use other methods. At last, she was in the same position as her mother, breaking point, she arose and taking the small rebel by the hand, told him, "Now, son, unless you are a good boy, and 'Please,' as she says, you will be in the same way, and not rupturing herself. The small head slowly nodded." "I'm going to put you in the bedroom all by yourself, until you can see the light," said she, with leave the shades up, and let the sunshine in, but you must stay by your self until you think you are a good boy." With a jump in her throat, she began to speak, "Please, please, before leading her baby in, she raised him in her arms, and kissing him coaxed. "Won't you please tell mother please?" she said, "for a while." She was still a drunken, but firmly set lips remained silent, "All right," said she, "said the mother, "All have to put you in her alone, until you can see the light." "I'll just have to put you in here alone, until you can see the light," said she, "and you can come out." She set the child on a chair and going out quietly, closed the door. Time and again, she was still in her sleep, and she began to be met with a stony defiant stare and tightly closed his in answer to her inquiry as to his yielding to the law of obedience. She felt like letters of advice, and she was not so ill to do that for his sake. It would have been far the easier way, though. At last, when the afternoon was well advanced, she did not want to say with "Please, you will be in the dark with a sign of thankfulness, the mother snatched her boy up, and half smothering him with kisses on his head and cheeks, she bade him a drink and his beate'd dinner.
The experience cost the mother $1,000. The mother's naïveness paid. Son learned a lesson he has never forgotten, though today he needs head and shoulders above his mother.
Origin Of Soap
It is believed that soap was originally made by the Phoenicians from whom the art was learned by the Gauls. The ancient invention, although he preferred the soap made by the Germans. There is reason for believing that the Romans used a soap from the Germans rather than the Gauls. The original method of soap making was very crude. Tallow was treated with wood ashes, goat fat and the ashes of beech trees beaten together. The method was improved somewhat by the Romans. A complete soap factory was found among the ashes of plants and other similar simple materials mentioned in the Old Testament, it is believed that the word translated as "soap" refers simply to the ashes of plants and other similar simple materials. Before the invention of soap the inhabitants of Europe used the common plant known as soapwort to wash with the Romans used fuller's earth.

Chocolate is made from the large nutritive seeds or beans of the cacao tree, which is a small evergreen tree in the tropics. Formerly all cacao came from tropical America, but now the Gold Coast Colony in Africa is the largest producer of cacao. There is much use of the words, cocoa, cocoa and cacao. The original name of the tree was cacao, and that form is retained in German, Spanish and French. Johnson's dictionary it was spilled cocoa. It was probably an error. At any rate the spelling 'cocoa' is the accepted name for cacao or relation to coconuts, which are produced by coconut palms. There is also a small shrub which grows in South America called

Belleve it or not, but I had actually promised myself that regardless of what the provocation I would never admit, I would not mention the gentleness of the clergy. A sort of editorial truce between myself and the propounders of the gospel. If you get what I mean, I will tell you and my scruples about attacking the clergy. God nor because I had any touch of conscience or anything like that but just because I decided to let everybody, including preachers go to the devil or anyone else, know what I am. Now don't conclude for a moment that I want to be a reformer or make the world any Utopia or what have you, but I find myself forced by circumstances to guarantee my pen and stock up my arsenal with ink for a long and bitter campaign against a tribe of female windjammers who are making inroads on the front lines of tribes in Jardon my frankness, ignorant classes.

The worst has come to the worst. I have been the fascineous persuasion has described me as a "woman who is against everything." Yes, this is actually what has happened, but I was still standing with some other friends of mine and dramatically declared, "Here is a woman who is against everything. She isn't in favor of anything." Just like that Bill Bange.
Of course, I retorted with a joke—something about being at least in favor of removing him from this cartel of faggery. I was afraid flabbergusted. I took my mental breath, as it were.
I do know that there are many things folks might say about me, but I was flabbergusted. A whole lot of criticism of every kind, good, bad and indifferent. But some how I just didn't expect that particular criticism. I didn't know I was a rip-roaring radical as all that.
I have always claimed that it is good to "see ourselves as others see us," but I also admit it is sometimes disconcerted long, for we human beings have the faculty of believing only what we want to believe, and when folks say things about us that we don't like us we just don't believe them. So, very naturally, I don't believe one word that obstreperous male said, and what's more, I am setting out this very minute to prove him wrong. And what please me, some man wrong? It's one of our favorite pastimes. It's quite harmless, also, for it doesn't bother the men-folks one bit, but it merits of putting us in a good humor. What I propose to do is to tell this male in particular and all who happen to read this article in general a few of the things I favor enthusiastically.
For one thing, I am always ready to throw in a high the air for the same degree of politeness that has the same sincerity of purpose, the same clearness of vision, the same bigness of heart and the same sense of what seems to characterize the new president of Howard University, Dr. Mordecki Johnson. Do you know I really do believe that could have happened to our race just now is the securing of such a man, Johnson, as president of Howard. It is so often you know that this race of ours can produce the right man for the right place at the right time. I do believe it is true in this case.
Moreover, I would hold to this conviction even in the event that I am standing success at Howard. The world has a way of crucifying its great men, you know, and real apprehension of them only come after they have been dead many years. In the meantime it is quite possible that Dr. John Hancock's contribution may lie in the massing on some of his own solidnied unselfish spirit to a few of those with whom he has worked, and him the future may bring to us more leaders with the true qualifications for leadership.

That is not the case, and you know that the average brother of color is more or less inclined to be a Baptist and to put that mysterious blemish on it about spirits or spooks shoots appeals to the primitive mind.

church situation as it exists among us to-day. I am not alone in the world, but I am not alone in worse and that something should be done about it. Just what is a matter for grave consideration. In the meantime, certain facts have been put into turbing clearness. One is that most churches as organized, managed and headed to-day seem actually irrigulous. To such an extent is this that the laity who have high ideals of religion are staying away from the church in increasing numbers, or are mere casual and occasional attenders. There are some others who stay away also—those among us who have a certain amount of undigested bookstores, or those who hefts look down upon religion as superstition or humbly or the "old-fashioned preoccupation" of their grandmothers. But I do not refer more intelligent among the laity.
I refer to those who believe that religion plays a highly important role in the true development of human beings, and that the Christian religion is the highest and best expression of God's will for mankind along this path. "Christian view of God and the world," even the view they are out of sympathy with much of the theological dogma of the past. Within the church, its manifest unwillingness to interpret great truths in terms of the changed intellectual, moral and spiritual nature of man, morality, hypocrisy, and self-selking of many in the ministry—all these factors work against the active and whole-hearted participation of such Christian believers, withdrawal of many honest earnest, and thoughtful men and women from the church leaves it too largely in the hands of the incomprehensible, and scrimmish. As a result we have conditions which are disgusting to the extreme and make of religion a farce and a joke. Who wouldn't be tended to change such conditions?
Then, too. I heartily endorse the sentiments of all those who preach the importance of more business enterprises among our group. Point out the foolishness and inconsistency and danger of our extravagant and unnecessary social expenditures while supporting our economic foundation is mighty insure and uncertain.
I am in favor of any and every thing that works for the greatest benefit to the greatest tend toward the highest and best development of all phases of human life. Just as I am unalterably opposed to all exaltation of the mankind, and to everything that retards humanity's evolution from its animal like ancestry.
But, after all, what the use? I consider all arguments by the yard, and they wouldn't convince that male. He'll read every word I write and then have the same opinion of me still. And, the real consolation is that man of all the man of all the sense expects a man's opinion of her to be based upon logic and reason. Selah!

Places To Eat
Next in importance to places are "ents." To make the make a success, there must be a plenty of ice cream and activities give one a keen appetite. A picnic lunch must be as compact as possible, for we usually pack it in a basket. Paper plates, paper cups, tablecloths are necessary articles. Spoons and forks can be bought at a ten cent store. This is better than taking silver, paper plates and tablecloths you can serve daintly, with nothing to break. Thermos bottles and thermos jars have them. In them, hot or cold drinks can be carried. The hot drinks or hot food should be nearly at a boiling point when placed in the ice box. If the cold food very cold before it is placed in the fars. Don't forget the salt and pepper shaker, the litle oven and a covered glass jar or tin can for sugar. In a vacuum ice cream freezer, ice cream or water ice can be carried. In a pleasing addition to the menu.
There are many goodies from which to select a lunch. I will suggest some menus to eat: plain jars and ice cream jar, plain jars and an ice cream cooler. If you have no thorns jar, plain jars can be used. But the cold food will be hot. Hot chocolate or cocoa in a thermos bottle, or Cold drinks in a thermos bottle, Potato salad in a thermos jar, put in when quite cold. Ham sandwiches, wrapped in vanilla ice cream in vacuum freezer. Chocolate layer cake, Fresh fruit. Another menu: Ginger ale. Veal thermos bottle, Fried chicken a la carte. Lettuce. Orange layer cake. Lemon ice in freezer. Another menu: Ginger ale. Veal salad or chicken salad, packed when fresh. Cream cheese and mint sandwiches. To make these sandwiches, chop the pimentos up fine with a sharp knife. Mix them together with two cakes, creme cheese and little mayonnaise may be added if you like it. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spread on sandwiches. Chocolate layer cake may be added to the lunch. Strawberry water
Another lunch could be cold lemonade. The lemonade is made of chopped, assorted fresh cooked vegetables mixed with yogurt, orange juice, cup cakes, Orange ice. Fresh fruit.

Slit In Men's Coat
The silt in the back of men's coats is now merely a part of style. It is supposed that men wore long-skirted garments and nearly everybody traveled on horseback. For riding it was hard to wear a coat, so he had to move the coat silt in the back. The fashion persists even though it now serves no useful purpose. There is, however, a coat that is a product of duelling. The coat was silt, accorded to this theory, so it could be buttoned up around the waist during a duelling practice. —ThePathfinder.

Many of the larger boys from the "Y" are working this summer and so their faces are missed somewhat. But they are still playing with the club called the "Rosebuds" have taken possession. These are little fellows whose ages range from nine to fifteen of this group are James Carroll, Walt Carr, Carlos Chase, Ernest Roholtt, Walter Landsey, H. Wise and Howard Lewis. There are other players who would take a long time to mention them all. Uncle Tom Smith says every "Rosebud" is a "regular fella". If the older checker players at the "Y" could see James Lansey, George Leprade and Hillard Shorter in action I am sure they would give up real wards.

Look Ahead
Thousands and thousands of boys and girls graduated from high school last month. Even a larger number of them went to the high school. And for all these boys and girls the big question right now has to do with the future. They are wondering what to do for them, what to do for work they should prepare themselves, and what they should do to be successful. They are girls and girls are being showered with advice just now—so much that most of it will be quickly forgotten. But from my own experience, I believe that the most important thing of all to remember is this: "Work For The Future." It is so easy to just barely do it, but you certainly need to don't seem important now. But if you think of the future—what each step taken now may be, what you will do your best in everything. Remember, then, to do that one thing: "Work For The Future." If you day to day will never be neglected.
How Ducks Shed Water
Ducks and other waterfowl are label to shed water because their feathers are kept in an oil condiment. If you will observe ducks in a rain storm or as they paddle about in a pond you will notice they frequently bend their heads back and rub oil from the oil island at the base of the pond. In addition, their heads they oil their entire body. In addition to being supplied with this oil, the feathers on a duck are exceedingly close together, a condition which als considerably in keeping out the water.

A peeping Tom is a prying or inquisitive person, especially in respect to prudent matters. The term Godiva is the legend of Lady Godiva of Coventry.
According to the legend, Leofte, earl of Mercia and lord of Coventry imposed oppression upon the tattered Godiva, appealed to him again and again in behalf of the people. Finally Leofte agreed to grant her request if she would give Godiva a book of Godiva took her lord at his word and issued a proclamation for all persons to remain indoors and close the shutters while she rode the streets clothed only in her long white coat. All the people compiled except Tom, the tailor, who bored a hole thru his shutter that he might see Lady Godiva pass. He was stunned to see Godiva being known as Peeping Tom to this day. Leofte was as good as his word and the oppressive taxes were abolished.

Because of these creatures on the ground immediately after a shower is probably due to one of two reasons. In the case of frogs, worm-like creatures are abundantly there before the rain and the downpour stimulated them into activity. In the case of fish and some other creatures, it is quite possible, scientists explain, for a waterspout or cyclone whirlwind to scoop up a large amount of water, a distant point, just as it will carry pebbles and pieces of wood a long distance. So-called "blood showers" usually consist of colored dust, volcanic ash or plant pollen in the rainbows.

Guzman, Thadeus Copeland, Harry Carpenter, proprietor of the New Albert Auditorium and Wm. H. Langeley.
MAY MERGE ACTIVITIES
For some time businessmen in Baltimore have seen the need of an active agency to promote business expansion and give the city the "goog-it" spirit possessed by such cities as Chicago, Durham, N. C., St. Louis and other places where this group is effectively organized. The local Business Men's Exchange, which owns its own building and which has laid the foundation for a real Chamber of Commerce, will form the back ground for the new grouping, according to those interest-
Local Tailors S
The P
Baltimore tailors are wide open on the patch question which threatens the place and harmony of the entire garment makers' craft.
Trouble arises from the fact that artists of the "needle and thimble" or of the "thread and tape measure," as they are sometimes called cannot agree as to whether or not left over small pieces of goods, from which have made handwork, shall be sent to the customer with his suit or retained at the shop.
One tailor told the AFRO he had over 1500 patches in his shop and is competed with by other customers because customers on their nose sut or elbow or pants cuff has become frayed frequently return and expect him to match the goods.
One man for whom he had made a suit 10 years ago came in last week and wanted a new pair of brushes.
Another tailor who argues against holding on to patches said that he had spent a half day looking over his collection in order to match a suit equally to have his customer call later and explain what he had found the patch at home. Appointments on the other side of this question were presented by another member of the thread and needle craft who told the AFRO that he sorted his patches by color and how they tiled in a separate fabric. He quickly find patches for any suit I ever made," he declared and "my customers knowing it bring me many repairs I wouldn't otherwise get." "Men's clothing is being装 as much today as ever and more. It's done scientifically, however you can't tell it exert by close examination. Many a man who makes a big inseason has a new lining in his coat, a new back in his vest, his pants seat patched and the bottom several times renewed."

MINISTERS START MOVE
At a meeting of laymen and ministers which has been studying employment for young men and women in this vicinity, plans were laid Friday for the making of a complete survey of white business concerns catering to colored.
The objective of this group is to see that more employment is present in the group. Following this survey some practical steps along this line will be started.
The general headquarters of all these movements might be merged, it is pointed out, and a strong business and industrial agency developed.
Baltimore might have obtained Poro College, might have obtained other colleges, if like other cities, it had some practical agency working for business expansion, according to leaders in the general movement, and it is intended by them that Baltimore shall get its share of progress if a bustling organization can bring it.
The agency will also study modern plans of group advertisement and cooperation. The Century Club plans a series of group meetings during the Fall and Winter and the adoption of more practical methods of promoting trade of group enterprises. Split On Patch Question

Winter Husband
During the winter months John Taylor, 118 Stockton Street is a model husband, working every day and providing for his wife and two children, but in the summer he takes a vacation.
That's what his wife Mrs. Elva Taylor, of the same name, told the Magistrate in the Northwestern, Friday.
We have been married six years, declared Mrs. Taylor, "and while he works fine every winter the minute it starts to get warm he goes on a loafing spell."
He must expect you and the kiddies to have off of snowballs in the summer, doesn't he?" demanded the Judge, "but when he gets out of jail he will have a different opinion."

Things looked dark for Graham until Mrs. Linn testified that she had herself taken the money.
Linn was then fined a dollar and costs for disturbing the peace which was exactly fortive cents more than the original cause of the trouble.

It has been said that successful funeral directing is work of the heart, as well as the head. This is very true. It requires a heart to serve people in their dying moments. Kindly Sympathy is essential, or services is impossible.

"The South Africans"
By Sarah Gertrude Millin. Published by Boul Gentleman Inc. West 48th B-New York City. Price $34.
A Book Review by Mary White Ovington, Chairman Board of Directors N. A. A. C. P.
Sarah Millin's novel of South Africa God's stepchildren," brought by the author years ago. She has followed with it South Africa itself—its background of history and its present day conditions. While she a South African, Mrs. Millin views the country accurately. She understands the viewpoint of the Englishman, the Boer, and to some extent the native. Her standard is one of liberality to all races.
"There is nothing in life," she says "so enraging as the offensiveness of the word 'door' in a door slamming in the face of the fire." With an open mind, therefore, she endeavors to show us conditions in her land. Her picture is a sorry one, but she is not alone. She tries in the days of its youth, when the aborigines were treated to the Centruy of Dishonor, of which she was a victim. In South Africa the number of natives is so great and the amount of arable land so small, comparatively, that the suffering of the masses of black Africans exceeds anything the Indians knew.
Mrs. Millin shows the various ecosystems that has passed—the pastoral stage which still prevails in the Transvaal and the importation of Indians; and the
IN MEMORIAM
GROOMES—In sad fond remembrance of my dear husband, who separated this life two years ago July 1926.
A voice that I loved is still.
A place is vacant in my home.
That never can be filled.
By his loving wife.
Annie B. Groomes
HACKETT—In sad and loving remembrance of my dear husband, who never can be filled this life one year ago July 1926.
I see your face, dear husband.
Still feel your hands in mine.
Still look you have me.
Still stilins in my mind.
The loss of Gold is great.
The loss of love is more.
But the loss of my dear husband
Is the love no one else has.
Until we reach the other shore
Then 'Oh Master let us have him
And never say farewell.
By his wife and children.
REYNOLDS—In loving remembrance of our loving sister and aunt, who departed this life one year ago July 6. 1926.
Par from the world of toll and strife to meet with the Lord.
The labors of her mortal life
End in a large reward.
By her sister and niece,
Sarah and Florence.
SAVAGE—In memory of my dear sister and aunt, Ida Helen Savage, who departed this life July 1926.
To take leave us.
We feel that you are with us still.
To dwell with those on high.
We will meet you by and by.
By her sister, EMAH MUNT and nieces of 2110 Etting Street.
SPEARS—In loving memory of my dear sister, Emah Spars, who departed this life three years ago today, July 5. 1924.
Today my heart is heavy
of all the tears; three:
How I love for you and miss you
None but God in Heaven can see.
There is grief that cannot be healed
And sorrows deep in human hearts
That cannot be revealed.
To live in the hearts you have left
behind
Is not to die.
By her loving mother. CATHERINE

a agricultural and commercial condi tions at the present time.
The white man exploits the native to the fullest extent, forbids by legislation his entrance into skilled labor. He is endeavoring to destroy competition in the one employment always open to him—domestic service. If the program presented by the Boers and the government, a servant's position economically will be worse than that of a slave. He will not possess economic freedom, and it will be no one's interest to treat him decently. And yet Mrs. Johnson is saying that he had better accept what he can get from this government.
The white man hogs it in South Africa. He has the land, the best land, the best land, however, seem to excel in any profession, unless it be that of athlete. He leads a pleasant outdoor club, he is hospitable and kindly to his own class. If he lives in the Transvaal he is a little more English than he lives in Cape Town. The aftermath of the Boer War has been a movement for a State Englishmen in South Africa usually oppose this. The Boers push it vigorously. Unquestionably the native appeal to the English Parliament.
But one should read Mrs. Millin's book to learn the various interests at work in this beautiful land, that was conquered first by the Onus, and then by the Titans. This is a pleasant book to handle, with colorful, photographic illustrations.

What Is Scandal
BY HENRY F. ARNOLD
One of the chief criticisms made of newspapers today, is that they carry too much scandal.
Since the public and press differ as to what is scandal it becomes highly imperative to cite the precedents apper to dismiss.
Mr. John Doe, who occupies a high place in the REALMS of society, in a sacred covenant before GOD, and in a sacred covenant before MRS. Doe, given numbers of witness and pledge, that she will keep from those things which go to make discord in the home.
Doe violates this sacred pledge and is sued by Mr. Doe. her husband for a divorce on the grounds of infidelity. Mrs. Doe secures some lawyer who is well versed to repressure.
The attorney finding that he has a hard case to beat instructs Mrs. Doe to ask for alimony. Mr. Doe in order to keep from paying alimony must have the court order to arrest Mrs. Doe's actions before court and jury.
Newspapers publish full accounts of what has been brought out in the press in respect of what is brought out.
That's news. It is not scandal. It is frequent. It is not scandal. Gentlemen hold the cloth or some man high up in fraternal and church circles or profession is caught in the mushes of the law and is hauled into the street. The gentleman in question has interminated himself by reason of misdeanor or felony. Society stands agape because of the man's promising Evidence shows that this particular gentleman has violated all of his duties. He is the statue of the State of Maryland. Newspapers herald the findings of the trial to the public. This is news not scandal. In its final analysis means a story which is designed to hurt one's character without foundation. When Horace Greedy acted, he was the paramount duty was to keep the public reliably informed of things that were taking place daily. This is the function of the press. The press carries current events of the day cannot be logically condemned by the public for carrying such information. This is the paramount duty of the press.
Newspapers are published for the purpose of furnishing the public with facts, evidence and information, in place in courts. Newspapers are not supposed to suppress facts. There is a vast difference between scandal and news.

DIDN'T KNOW THAT GOD HAD A BABY
Missionary Says African Natives Express Surprise When Told Of Jesus Christ
"Yes, we know God, but we didn't know God had a baby."
know such a man, the smile confession of Liberian natives to Dr. H. H. Jones missionary physician and minister who spoke at Metropolitan Baptist Church Tuesday evening, when he told the uncivilized people about Jesus some years ago. Dr. Jones, who has been engaged in his work in the West African for a quarter century, is giving a series of lectures in Baltimore and other large cities in order to build a new hospital upon his return. The speaker declared that he prepares pork meat or roast snake to the pork chops or steaks that are sold in America. Food, he stated is largely a matter of custom arising from the surroundings. "The greatest mistakes of missionaries are their attempts to force Christianity upon the African with out bringing him in contact with civilization or bettering his condition he said, and with the belief of 100 pounds or more upon his back does not want to know Jesus, he wants a Ford car."
Leaving the all-religious trend of most missionaries, he declared that the development must come through their comforts and enjoy the fruit of civilization and education. Dr. Jones stated that his first missionary work was accomplished by building and furnishing a well built church and a scene where elephants and baboons roamed. He was copied until at the people had more or less put on clothing and built homes. He praised his praise of the Firestone rubber development and believes that the project will almost revolutionize industry there. He stated that there are some excellent opportunities for persons who have some capital and go there for industries ranging from agriculture to mining of useful and precious metals.
