Roscoe Simmons Doctors Listen Doctors, note the resolution sent by the National Grange to the American Medical Association. Maybe the Grange would have sent a copy to the National Medical Association if it had known the address of Dr. W. G. Alexander. You know what the National Grange is, of course. The Grange asks the American Medical Association to undertake a hard task. It appeals for more doctors for the country. The country doctors, in the opinion of the Grange, "threaten to become extinct, the city of New York, in investment towards the city and specialization continues at the present rate." Such an appeal sent to Dr. Alexander at Orange, New Jersey, would probably get the reply, "As far as the National Medical Association goes, the country doctors are about already extinct." Not only "country doctors", only a few of whom colored people ever had but town doctors. City doctor of the North. Then small town doctors, who did not try to make it to the North, settled in Southern cities. Many unable to decide whether to heal the sick or steal their own ambitions for sudden wealth went in for banking, industry, real estate and medicine on the side. Instead of two, they serve several masters. Millions of colored people in the South have only heard of a "colored doctor." Thousands that once hunted "colored" doctors up now find themselves at the mercy of white physicians more interested in keeping them sick than in curing them or having them die. Did you ever hear Booker T. Washington tell of the white doctor who returned from a vacation and found that his son, a young doctor who cured him, was alluded to "Why the doctor said to his son, "I educated a whole family on that case. You have ruined me." Dr. George W. Hubbard, founder of Meharry Medical College and one of the world's greatest benefactors, often said to this humble writer, "The south is sick and only the south can heal itself." Doctors, go South and keep in mind Voltaire's thought, that order to be valuable to the human nature from his youth up. Few great physicians are social lions. Doctor, govern yourself accordingly. G. O. P. Meeting Any meeting of the G. O. P. interests you. When Democrats meet your fears increase. When Republicans meet your hopes rise. Is not that true? December 6 the National Committee of your party and the Washington, the last and last city under your flag. Think of Washington, but stay from it. Look out for the call for the 1928 National Convention. San Francisco and Detroit are fighting Chicago for the honor of entertaining the convention. A good way out of this biennial contest between cities asking the Republican Convention would be to make Chicago the home of Republican Conventions. You know it is a seat of Republican principles. Every movement ought to have a base. Do you think it strange that the Democrat Party never meets where its members and South was in 1860 at Charleston. Out of that convention came the Civil War. Out of that war came YOU, hand in hand with God. Calhoun was dead then. The two great men on God's side in the Rebellion came from Illinois. GRANT AND LINCOLN. Both were first put up by Republicans for President in Chicago. Lincoln in 1860, Grant in 1868. Read; study. Craeger-Answer Maybe Mr. R. B. Creager, the gentleman who looks well in eye-glasses, the ill-yellow-white, who says the G. O. P. can't stand so much "color," may be asked a question or two by the Republican National Committee. He may be told to attend to his business, hold down his job, draw his salary and not talk so much. The great Chairman William M. Butler, is a John A. Andrew Republican of Massachusetts, put your trust in him. (Continued On Editorial Page) COOLIDGE ASKS CONGRESS TO HALT MOBS President In Annual Message Wars On "Foul" Crime Of Lynching" SAYS RACE HAS MADE GREATEST PROGRESS "Worthy Of All Encouragement It Has Received," He Adds Dr. LOUIS R. LAUTIER WASHINGTON, D. C. President Coolidge praised the accomplishments of the Negro, gave figures to show the extent of his government employment approved of his management of the U. S. veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., and recommended enactment of anti-lynching legislation in his message to the Congress delivered Tuesday. No other race has accomplished as much in the same length of time, he told the Congress. Negroes, he added, have come up from slavery to be prominent in education, the professions, art, science, agriculture, and commerce. 50,000 In Government Pitty fifty thousand Negroes are on the payroll of the Federal government, he declared. The pay amounts to eighty-five years. They have also received presidential appointments. They are in charge of the entire management and control of the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee. Ala., and their conduct of this institution has taken high rank. Al-Lam Law Needed Northernmen their accomplishments, the President said, they are still the victims of mob violence. They are especially the target of the "soil crime of lynching." He recommended to the Congress to enact an legislation it can under the Constitution to wipe out lynch- Only two races were silenced by the President for special treatment in his message. One was the Negro. The other was the American Indian. That portion of his message dealing with the Negro is as follows: "History does not anywhere record so much progress in the same length of time as that which has been accomplished by the Negro race in the United States since the Emancipation Proclamation. They have come up from some to be prominent in education, the agriculture, banking, and commerce. It is estimated that 50,000 of them are on the Government payrolls, drawing about $50,000,000 each year. They have been the recipients of presidential medals and have ability to a sufficiently high plane so that they have been intrusted with the entire management and control of the great veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, where their conduct has taken high rank. They have shown that they have been worthy of all the encouragement which they received. Nevertheless, they are too often subject to thoughtless and inconsiderate treatment, unworthy alike of the white or colored races. They have especially been made the target of the foul crime of lynching. The several years these acts of unlawful violence had been diminished." White Man Named Ethiopian Consul WASHINGTON — The President sent to the Senate Tuesday the name of Addison E. Southard, white, Kentucky, now foreign service officer of class 3, to be Minister and Consul General to Abyssinia (Ethiopia). William T.

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1927 Nora Ray Wins $42,000 Suit Hubby Filed --- EASTON, Pa.—Race attorneys, the pick of the Philadelphia bar, were too much for the wealthy, most exclusive white law firm in Easton, Pa. this week when Nora Holt Ray won a $1,000 suit from her husband in alimony. Joseph L. Ray, her husband, secretary to Charles Schwab, white steel king, brought suit against his wife for real estate valued at $30,000 and jewelry valued at $12,000 thru fraud. Ray claims his wife swiped $12,000 worth of jewelry from him because he was married and when they separated took it back with her to Chicago. Agreed to Divide He also claimed that when they were married they agreed that the property that each owned should be transferred to joint ownership. Subsequently Ray said he conveyed property to his wife and then moved to his wife and now wants to recover clear title to it. Mrs. Ray admitted that her husband promised to convey half of his $75,000 properties to her, but said she made no promise to do the same for him. Bigamist Besides stealing his jewels and duping him out of his property Ray claimed that his wife was a bigamist and not properly divorced from a previous Chicago husband. Testimony at the trail staged originally last June showed that both parties had been married three years. Ray claimed that his wife proposed to him on an east bound train to which Mr. Schwab's private car was attached. Maryland, Virginia And D. C. Couples Wed At Rockville Maryland, Virginia And D. C.

Actress "Bawls Out" White Stage Door Johnnie LOS ANGELES, Calif. (A N P)—Mildred Washington threw constation into the heart of a rich would-be masher of the Caucasian race at the stage door of the big Metropolitan剧院. The earth night on the theatre engagement, only colored performer on the notable bill, she had made a great hit with her "mirrorette" dance which she had originated while filming the new Paramount feature "Legion of the Condemned." Nightly a great bouquet had been handed her on the stage from some mysterious sender. On the night, in question while leading the stage door she was met by a liveried Filipino chauffeur who handed her a note. "Dear Little Girl" the noteadress, "I have watched you on the stage for four nights, She denied proposing and told how Mr. Ray sent her an engagement ring by parcel post. Attorneys for Mrs. Ray were Raymond Paul Alexander John Francis Williams and W. Hubbard, of Philadelphia. Opposing them was the law firm of Kirkpatrick, Maxwell, Chidsey, one of the wealthiest and most exclusive white law firms of Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick has been appointed by President Coolidge as a district judge of the Federal court of Philadelphia. Court Considered The court decided considering the case since that all day trial in Boston last June and handed down as decision last week. Notwithstanding the fact that the defense was based entirely upon the testimony of Mrs. Ray versus Wilson, the defense witnesses, Mr. Ray was dismissed. The court found that Mrs. Ray didn't defraud her husband by securing the $30,000 worth of real estate; didn't steal his $12,000 worth of jewelry; that she was properly married in Illinois and properly married to Ray. Three Year Litigation Marital troubles of the Rays have been in the courts for three years. They began in 1924 when Ray Fly suit for divorce, facing the difficulty of fidelity, told the found her in a New York apartment with a prominent New York lawyer. The case went to the Superior Court on appeal and Alexander, as counsel for Alexander, his case, in appeal to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania failed. Ray sought to get rid of his wife by alleging fraud and bigamy. G. O. P. "Jim Crow' At Dinner Riles Mrs. Lawton BROOKLYN, N.

Frank H. Gilbert, head of the Republican County colored organization not only was not asked to speak by Louis M. Swasey, but his district manager was also assigned the jim crow tables reserved for colored guests.

REBUKES JUDGE WHOSENTENCED HIM TO DEATH "You Are Killing An Honest Man" He Cries; "Sit Down" Says Judge COURT ROOM REQUIRES EXTRA VIRGINIA POLICE Condemned Man Accused Of Assault, Had Been Paroled From Asylum RICHMOND, VA.—Insane, provoked by Virginia justice which gave him only one attorney against 3 for the state, Shirley Winningham arose in court and had his say. Winningham, Isle of Wight county resident, was last Wednesday sentenced to the electric chair for the crime of raping and later strangling to death a fourteen-year-old white girl. The evidence was largely circumstantial. The star witness for the state was an eighteen-year-old lad of the same county. The trial of the case lasted through all of Tuesday and late into the night. Three lawyers served for the prosecution: the Isle of Wight commonwealth's attorney, Richmond commonwealth's attorney, and E. H. Williams, employed as special attorney and appellate attorney for James Martin (white) of Norfolk for the defense. The defense's contention centered around two points: the fact that Winningham had been committed to an insane asylum in August, and the fact that James Martin at the time of the crime; that the strange stories of the eighteen-year-old witness indicated his guilt instead of Winningham's. **Star Witness** The state used as evidence the testimony of the star witness, the clothespin and the apples from James Martin's blood on the legs and mud on the knees), and the findings of a committee from the institutions for the insane of the state, stating that the accused was sane, even above the average in intelligence. **Sane Or Insane** In August Commission had declared Winningham incurably insane. The commission declaring him sane sat November 3rd and 4th. Winningham accounted for the drops of blood on his pants and the mud on his knees in that he had hurt his hand through a wheelbarrow collision, and that his helping with an injured necessitated kneeling on the ground. The entrance to the court room was crowded Wednesday morning when the door was opened. The jury was sent out and stayed an hour and a half. In due time several extra policemen were placed about in the court room. The air was pregnant with suspense. The verdict was given; the condemned shook his head, when asked to say that he had to say. The judge commanded him to stand and lectured to him on the hideousness of the crime, the JUSTICE and FAIRNESS of the PROCEDURE, the coming physical agony until he is "dead, dead, dead." Court Rebuked The judge further asked that "GOD HAVE MERCY on you SOUL." Winnings should "You will tell me the honest man." He was apparently desirous of saying something more, but the judge yelled at him "Sit, down." The defense attorney appealed the case. The court stood adjourned after an exchange of elements between the Isle of Wight attorney and the presiding judge, the former thanking the latter for estonian PAIRNESS, the latter commending the former for his DILIGENCE. 4,000 Rosenwald Schools Now NASHVILLE, Tenn.

Leader Gives Press Statement Before He Is Deported WHITES GOT ALL THE MONEY GARVEY SAYS Thinks He Could Get It All Back If He Could Stay In U. S. NEW ORLEANS, LA., (A. N. P.)—In an exclusive statement to a representative of the Associated Negro Press, Marcus Garvey, who is waiting here to be deported to Jamaica, scored Negro intellectuals and outlined his plans for the future. Garvey's complete statement was as follows: "By the mandate of the United States government, I am forced to leave the United States, even though it was never my intention to make America my permanent residence as a national park, bound me to my mother country, Africa, where I hope at sometime to live or be buried. However, things have worked a little differently for the time being, and I am unpleasant commissions in America. I shall willingly and gladly depart as soon as I am able to arrange the affairs of my association,—the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and to see that proper steps be taken to protect me and the members of the association and the old stockholders of the Black Star Line. Work Goes On "In leaving America, I want it clearly understood that the great work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it is not a national movement, but an international one, and as our scattered leaders are assembled we shall present to the world a greater organization than we had before. We have lost anything in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Black Star Line, because if it takes fifty years every man shall be paid back according to his desire in the association and movement of the Black Star Line. Whites To Blame "It is surprising that the white people should accuse me of so many evil things when in fact all the losses that have been inflicted upon my many organizations were skillfully engineered by them to bring about their desired." "They have profit and will in stealing our ships and will really state why they imprisoned me simply be- (Continued on Page Four). KENTUCKY MOB OF LYNCHERS HALF WOMEN KENTUCKY MOB OF LYNCHERS HALF WOMEN Unmasked Woman Also Drove Car That Took Prisoner To Funeral Pyre SHERIFFS NOTIFIED ARRIVE TOO LATE Law Officers Look On As Whites Shoot Then Burn Their Victim WHITESBURG, KY.—Up until late hour Monday night, Kentucky and Virginia authorities were unable to learn the names of any of the 1,000 persons who took a part in the lynching of Leonard Woods, late Tuesday night near this city, following the shooting to death of Hershel Deaton, white, foreman at a coal mine at Fleming, Ky. A report of Harry G. Moore, white, Letche county attorney to Governor Fields of Kentucky, alleges that the lynching took place late Tuesday night at Pine Mountain, near miles from here, but about six miles over the Virginia line in Wise County. The mob motored into Whitesburg about 11 o'clock and swooped down on the jail, where Woods, two women, Susan Armister, 25, and Ann Mar Emory, 25, also charged with the lynching. Other other prisoners were quartered. The sheriff Morgan T. Reynolds, had been notified of the coming delegation but reached the jail too late. Dynamite The leaders of the band demanded the keys from the keeper. Mrs. Fess Whitesburg and them over. The gang began at once to force their way in. Several pleas of the prisoners in the building to the mob caused them to halt their efforts. Some of the prisoners told the mob to climb to the roof of the building and gain entrance through a trap door. In the meantime several members of the band went to a nearby hardware store, aroused the manager and got several hacksaws and other equipment to open the cell where they went to Woods' cell. Several in the mob entered the prison through the trap door on the roof and removed the two women. Then they went to Woods' cell. There was another man in there with him, and in order to be sure they got the right person witnesses were summoned. He was taken from the cell, and a chain placed around his neck. Many Women In Mob Woods outside the cell made a statement clearing the two women saying that the pistol with whom Deaton was shot was his, and he had carried all the way. The plenum was carried to fall. He was placed in an automobile driven by a woman and the band of nearly 150 cars moved to Jenkins, a few miles away. There a consultation was held and it was decided to move Woods to Pine Mountain. Platform Used At this place on a platform which had been constructed for the celebration of the Pound Gap Road which had opened November 18th, Woods was placed to be hanged. He was tied up by one foot and one hand. After that his body was riddled with bullets. One of the bullets cut the rope and he fell to the platform where his body was sunk with a vain plea for fire. The man made a vain plea for his life. Woods' body was removed from the platform late Wednesday afternoon and buried in Virginia by the deputy sheriff of Wise county. Half Masked According to sheriff Reynolds, the mob surrounded Whitsburg an hour before they took the prison. Half masked, the women, some were masked and some were not. It was composed of persons from the extreme eastern end of Letcher County, and the western end of Virginia. Many of the cars bore Virginia license. Unable to stop the lynching, the sheriff and the sheriff took the second floor of the court house and watched the crowd at work. Woods, it is said, in company with two women accosted Deaton, who was driving a Chrysler coupe, on the road near Fleming, Ky., and asked for a ride up to mine 206. Deaton refused and the shooting followed. The governors of both states have ordered that the persons implicated in the lynching be found and dealt with according to the state laws, Mr. Williams said. He said given warning that lynching will not be tolerated in that state. He said it was full time for Virginia to make example of those committing the crime of lynching, and to punish them as other murderers are punished.

NGTON- Capital Smiles Tancil Escapade WASHINGTON. D. C.-Word of the double divorce suit which followed the raid of detectives from the Chicago last week has caused nothing but smiles among society in the Capital. If the present Mrs. Tancil wins her marriage, she will be bound for the Doctor of Dr. Tancil into maritalian waters which has gone astray. Washington recalls that he married a pretty school teacher and almost against him and that he fled to Chicago to escape payment of it. There he married Miss Mae Brown, a teacher. It was this wife, number two, who together with Lawrence Abernathy, a harpist, and detectives tracked Mr. Tancil at dark one day last week, watched through the transome the alleged love of the couple until the lights were turned and began popping up. The noise of the raiders beating on the door of Dr. Tancil's office caused a commotion in the office where several passbyrs were attracted to the scene. Finally the light was turned on and the couple came out to face the commotion of the敌性mates. A pollerman remarked. "Well, now, you've got your ex- dence," and then walked away. Both Mrs. Tancil, number 108, said she filed a court alleging cruelty. As a result of the raid, Mr. Abernathy has filed a cross bill and Mrs. Tancil an additional affidavit. Mrs. Tancil declares that her husband is acting cleverly and that he is malignant an apartment on 37th street.

Henderson, director of educational in colored schools, last summer football official, last Saturday posted a bond of $1,000 for his appearance on a charge of conspiracy with the fraud. With Mr. Henderson, indicted last Friday, Gilbert Cipatt, President of the Central Christian College, 1914 Seventh Street, N.W., member of the faculty of the school, which Brown has not yet surrendered, a bench warrant for his arrest will probably be needed. The charges that for a year Brown was required as practicing attorney and president of the United States Incorporating Company which could legally charge the government of learning with degree institutions to operate anywhere in the world. All of these representations, the indictment charges were false. The government in the indictment includes a batch of letters, most of which were written by Dr. Brown. In them he solicited Prof. C. Braganza of Boston, Massachusetts, to incorporate the name "National Occult Schools." The only overt act alleged to have been committed by Mr. Henderson was written in a letter on October 28, 1927, in Professor Briganza, "to leave of professor and 'degrees' in sighing his name." The connection of Mr. Henderson's connection with the Central Christian practice and United States Incorporating Companies came before the Board of Education last spring Mr. Henderson made a full statement regarding his connection. At that time it was decided that the matter would be dropped in contests with the institution immediately resigned and petitioned the School Board of his action.

SUED FOR VIOLATION OF TEACHER'S CONTRACT SOCIAL SCIENCE SECRETARY AT FISK SUES Fired To Make Room For White Successor, Mrs. Proctor Charges HER CONTRACT READS FOR YEAR 1927-28 President Jones Quoted As Saying Case May Revive Race Issue NASHVILLE, TENN.—(Special to the Afro-American)—Fisk University will be defendant in a suit for breach of contract filed by Eulalia Osby Proctor, who was given one day's notice that she was to be supplanted by a white woman, brought from New York by Dr. Paul Radin, head of the Department of Social Science, in the University. The notice was given Mrs. Proctor by Dr. Thomas E. Jones, president of the school, who expressed regret and who gave Mrs. Proctor a letter of recommendation which showed that she had had not been guilty of inefficiency. No mention of the contract existing was made between Dr. Jones and Mrs. Proctor at the time of the interview, and the action of the discharged employee comes as a surprise to the institution's officials. Mrs. Proctor's contract which was given in June calls for her retention as "Head Secretary in the Department of Social Science of Fisk University for the year 1927-1928", and is signed by Dr. Jones, as president. Dr. Radin's name is not included in this document. However, it was learned through reliable channels that Dr. Radin had expressed his intention to bring a white secretary to the campus some weeks ago and that in a meeting of the department where the matter was discussed, this president of the school expressed the fear that such action would involve a rare issue and that Mrs. Proctor was to be retained at any rate, as the other members of the department were pleased with her ser- Attitude Changes Just why the president's attitude later changed has not been learned, but it is expected that a number of interesting things will be uncovered in the investigations of the next few weeks, for friends of Mrs. Proctor have advised her to push her suit in an effort to establish whether or not the contracts issued by Fisk University to Negroes are considered more than "scrapes of paper" by the institution's executives. Holy Experiment Holy Experiment. It is also expected that the next few weeks will reveal the true status of campus conditions and whether or not this "holy" experiment" as President Jones styles the present administration and organization of Fisk. is not another form of exploitation of Necroes under the guise of "biracial cooperation". Mrs. Proctor, who recently inaugurated a column in the AFRO-AMERICAN under the caption "So This Is Dixie", is a member of a prominent family of Central Illinois. Two of her sisters. Mrs. Edward L. Goodwin, of Tulsa. Okla., and Miss Mayne Osby, of the East Tennessee News staff in Knoxville, Tenn., are alumn of Fisk, and are actively interested in Mrs. Proctor's situation, and Fisk's action. President Jones Away Dr. Jones left the campus on the evening of December 1st. on an expedition to raise money for Fisk's renovated dormitory for girls, and it is probable that news of the suit will reach him through these columns.

JACKSON, Miss. (PNS.)—Attorneys for H. R. Redmond, "herb doctor", who was enjoined from the practice of medicine on November 19, have appealed the case to the State Supreme Court. This brings up directly for determination by the Supreme Court, the question, "What Constitutes the Practice of Medicine?" Redmond's friends claimed that he merely recommended to his callers or patients that they take certain decoctions—brewed by himself from herbs of his own selection, and that he did not charge for such advice but left it optional with the patient as to whether he chose to buy the remedy or not. The health authorities claim that these herbs were bought from an Indian medical firm, and further that Redman did make physical examinations and did treat patients on beds or cots in his house for various alleged complaints. M. WALKER CO. INVITES FRATS TO INDIANAPOLIS GREEK LETTER BODIES HOLD SEPARATE MEETS Walker Company Suggests Joint Session And United Program INDIANAPOLIS, IND.—Fraternity and sorority circles all over the country were astir last week when they received an invitation from the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Company to be its guests at a national Pan Hellenic in 1928. Much interest is being manifested in this invitation because there has been talk of a united session of all the organizations among college men and women, and this effort of an outside agency to encourage and foster the movement has met with a hearty response in many quarters. There are nine or ten national Greek Letter organizations with several thousand members but they have never met at the same place at one time. Each year thousands of dollars are spent in the separate meetings and no united-program has ever been attempted. F. B. Ransom, general manager of the Mme. C. J. Walker Co. in speaking of the company's offer said: "Mme. A Lelia Walker, following in the footsteps of her illustrious mother, has always had a deep interest in college students and their problems, and through her the Mme. C. J. Walker apologized for the dollars in the way of gifts and scholarships and endowment donations. It is only natural that the company should take the lead in offering the facilities of its splendid new million dollar plant for such a gathering." S317,000 Y. W. C. A. In addition to the new million dollar building of the Mme. Walker Co. and the handsomely equipped theatre which they are opening, Indianapolis has raised $217,000 for a W. Y. C. A. building and this will be opened for the Pan Hellenic. The large YMCA and the million dollar high school offer additional inducements. The Chamber of Commerce and other Indianapolis businesses civic organizations has sent the fraternities and sororities personal invitations reinforcing the Mme. Walker- invitation. The conventions of the various organizations will be held in Detroit Cleveland, New York, and St. Louis and the invitation from the Walker Co. is urging the appointment of special Pan Hellenic committee, to work out the details of a united national meeting in Indianapolis in 1928, as well as that the individual meetings be held there. 15,000 PUPILS IN N.

But it has taken, and will continue to take, much effort. Competition will be keen the tempers will be thwarted and the enemies will be severe, the provocations to deal harshly with weaker peoples will be many. All of these are cmrful greatness. "They will be overbalanced by cooperation, by generosity, and by the forces of the universe are taking humanly in that direction. In doing good, in walking humbly, in sustaining our people, in helping other nations, America will work out its own mighty destiny." MORE SURVEY (Continued From Page 1) increasing excellence of editors in the Kansas City Call; (4) the Baltimore Afro-American's undoubted publishing of more news, and this more expertly managed (5) the continued manliness, in the face of continued odds, of the editors of the Houston Informer, Dallas, Texas and the Blue Ridge Press. Comparison With Other Papers I encountered considerable difficulty at the beginning of my attempt to determine which of the news stories in the Houston, the Defender, and the Courter, had the most news and that best treated (written, edited, and displayed). It became necessary, in order to place the number of news stories in each paper over a given period, then, at the end, to measure the amount of space allotted to each story. After this I had to consider: Was the news written according to accepted standards? Was it displayed in accordance with its reliance on the public? Was it local or national? My final judgment was that as a medium for more pure news while it is news, the MTA is the rivals. It seems to me, also, that the editor who supervises news editing here invariably employs discrimination in his judgment of comparative news values and the news items are almost always, well, written. MOST OUTSTANDING NEGRO NEWS- PAPERS, 1927. The First Three Papers The AFRO has three firsts, one fourth, one seventh, a total of 13 The Courier has two firsts, one third one seventh, a total of 12. The Defender one second, two thirds, one fourth, a total of 13. Authority The Negro oress, finally, has attained that position for which it has long been the authority. More and more, editorials and news items in Negro journals are quoted and commented on by the Washington Tribune, which recently the Washington Tribune was quoted in the New York World on a matter involving the Klu Klux Klan and a church church. The short, obviously the World quoted a news item from the Amsterdam News, which related the Italian restaurant episode involving Mayor Wagner. Some weeks ago the Norfolk Journal Guide was taken to task by a white contemporary for an anecdote about the New York Age has drawn apologetic comment from, Bide Dulley, a clownish column conductor on the Evening News. The Pittsburgh Courter, thanks both to Schuyler and that paper's consistent tone of excellence, has received a more careful attention of H. L. Mencenk The Baltimore AFRO-AMER CAN'S expose of segregation in the city, doubtedly responsible for Mr. Work's bettering conditions there. There are others, I have observed, but the city's cases are sufficient to show that the city is not responsible. Not Ridiculous They show, that the Negro press has risen from that pittable state of white persons to it ridiculous. There was a time when white persons read Negro papers to laugh. The labored efforts of inexperienced reporters were evidence of being more than humorous to those not closely allied with the colored paper themselves. Another thing shown by the frequent mention in white papers of items in the colored press, is that not only are Negro journals read, but read seriously. The man ceases to rant unintelligibly and begins to speak calmly, rationally, and with authority, not only audibly, but lengthily, and having listened, will comment on what he said. If what he said bears particularly close to matters touching their own lives, it will not be length, thus calling attention of others to his views. This has been true in each of the cases cited. Still another thing shown by this evidence of whites reading papers published by the blacks is that the whites are being earnest to learn about the Negro press. It has been said repeatedly—I, myself, have frequently said it—that through the white press and Sunday newspapers, infinitely better informed about the white man than the white man is about the black man. This statement has been indisputably recorded. Note the increasing bulk of Mr. Mencken's information about his colored brother, Notice too, Carl Van Vechten's, and that of few less known writers who have published the white press, and are being influenced by it. Few Colored Don't Read. That this press influences those for whom maintained a clear view of the few colored folk who declare boastfully that they never read a Negro newspaper; the number of these, happily, is diminishing. Few colored folk not only read these papers, but prove their interest in and, often, their partiality for, a particular journal, by quoting from it. Not only that, but the Negro-reading public has reached that stage of development where it has its favorite news-sheet, editorial pages, feature articles, and so on. Public a few years ago would have been an amazing phenomenon. The Negro press, then, is more insecure than the white public opinion, than ever before. As to whether this influence is always the same, it could be. however, is another matter. Preaches Way Thru College PITTSBURGH, Pa., (PNS.) — Charles E.

ALLY RELIGION WITH HEALTH, SAYS MOSES Minister Tells Trinity Baptist Congregation To Return To Fundamentals Of Jesus RAPS FAITH HEALERS Declares Some Preachers Menace Rather Than Aid Health The Christian world is losing some of the fundamental principles that Jesus Christ stressed, and that we should ally religion with health, the Rev. W. H. Moses, corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Convention, told the Trinity A. M. E. Sunday morning. The sermon, one of many preached in Baltimore churches last Sunday, had as its general theme an appeal to the sick and to the poor Hospital. Taking as his text the parable of the Good Samaritan, Rev. Moses declared that the present day ministry is menacing health rather than healing. "Even the theological seminaries," he said, "are neglecting to link up their students with the health problems of the sick and to the jobs they must eventually serve. You cannot minister spiritually to people who are alling physically. Our big job is to keep healthy physically as well." Declaring that most testimonial meetings were a complete waste of time and denouncing the practice of faith healing, the sermon called the city of every pastor to use common sense in dealing with sick members, sending for the doctor instead of wailing around the bedside of the sick and offering up He insisted that the Christian religion must 'sober up' and go back to the teaching of Jesus. Many ministers within the church even understanding the words of Jesus. Some of them have thought that Jesus opposed the use of medicine and the use of all drugs, all wrongly declared Rey, Moses, and he pointed out the fact that everyone takes medicine when he or she cuts a meal. "The Negro community of America only treats health program," declared Rey, Moses, and until they do have one the race will continue to suffer a high mortality rate. The minister's appeal to give their wholehearted financial support to the new hospital. Attorney Koger was present at the service and outlined the needs of the New Provident Hospital to give as liberally as possible. 1,738 PUPILS IN CATHOLIC SCHLS There are 1,738 pupils in the colored Catholic schools of this archdiocese, according to a report sub- by Father John Barrett in publication by Father John Barrett last week.

MORE GARVEY (Continued From Page 1) cause they knew that they were better able to deal with the unprepared representatives than with me. We said, "Would you be as strict?" "As an instance of their fraud and chicanery, two months before I was imprisoned, I bought the S. S. Gen. Goethals from the Panama Canal. United States government for a cost and outlay of $160,000. After we title the state to $160,000, Wall Walk would urge my immediate imprisonment. Then, dealing with my representatives, whom they believed they could better handle, I would try to remove cargo. "They placed aboard the ship about $1,000 worth of this cargo and then created such a ship to ensure its insurance and other legal requirements for sailing as to make it impossible for the ship to sail. Bought It Back For $25,000 Then, when we did not perform their confederates and had them label the ship for non-performance. Before I could act, being a prisoner of the United States Government, we were being a prisoner, they sold the ship at a marshal's sale and bought it in themselves. The same kind of scheme was played by the same group of white men in the construction of Liberty Hall in New York, an investment of $120,000, and our office building, 52-54-56 West 135th street, New York City, an investment of $20,000, and we played by the same group of white men in depriving us of our printing and publishing plant, an investment of $25,000 at 54 West 156th street, New York. "Conla Icecover problem," I am along with the narrow-minded politicians in Washington who have been jealous of my success with the organization and the Negro people, and have railroaded me out of the country from New Orleans, so that I may not return to New York, where I could institute proceedings. I have been the people who have stolen asses. And yet these are the same people who influenced the newspapers to call me the "Black Penal." It is surprising that the Negro people of America, because I am a prisoner of the government. But I suppose I have to adopt the homely philosophy that "All's well that crafts are done, and time comes with no bitterness. I love and deeply respect the Negro masses of America. I have done everything for you, the extent that crafts may for me, in 1838, in my efforts to help in the solution of a problem.

Phil Randolph, Chandler Owens, George Schuyler, and the fellows of their like. I mean to include in this also some of your newspaper readers of your age and of your students. I hold them in contempt not because of their education, but because of their prostitution of it. I shall be sorry for the American newspapers if they continue to accept leadership from this group. I hope to see a new and virulent leadership spring up from among the people, one that is subservient, that will not accept its ideas and instructions from other sources than from itself, for the Negro to go ahead in America, he must develop a leadership that is free from the influence of the white man but freely expressive of 500 At The Wharf Five hundred persons stood in a pouring rain last Friday and shouted, "God Save President Garvey," as boarded the United Fruit Steamship "Saranatza," bound for Cristobal, Canal Zone.

Charges Pastors Are Not Keeping Up ATLANTA, Ga.—"Preachers are not keeping up," declared the Atlanta independent edition last week. The Independent charges that 75 per cent of the pastors make no special training to fit themselves for theology and are not required to come up to a certain standard of literary preparation as are the doctors, lawyers and teachers. They make the majority of churches have no system, no budget control and cannot tell its paying members from the non-paying members. As a rule," it says, "the average pastor is the wealthiest member connected with the church and in the structure which consists more than the aggregate wealth of every member of his congregation. "Presidents, presiding edibles, bishops, and clergy are usually wealthy men living on large estates in spacious homes, riding in $5,000 automobiles while the poor in their churches beatering for bread raiment. "Numbers of them pay no tax never register nor open their mouths to the public, and lines. The pastor does not preach against dancing, whiskey drinking bootlegging, public immorality adultery, or forcification; blind tigers They loom up all around the church and as a rule the preacher never raises his voice in their denunciation." Independent quotes Bishop A J. Payne as saying 40 years ago "There is till more ignorance in the pulpit than there is in the pew." Struck By Automobile SYKESVILLE.

Jersey Ice Cream Co. 1700 Block Pratt St., East Jersey IT'S DUE ICE CREAM "Builds Healthy Children" IRA BRYANT ATTACKS BISHOP JONES' REPORT Financial Report Of $300, 000 Raised For Wilber force U. Is Involved RECEIPTS AND BANK DEPOSITS AT VARIANCE No Donors Names Given For 1927 Amounts Tot taling $70,000 NASHVILLE, TENN. Current issue of the Young Allenite, an official A. M. E. publication edited by Ira Bryant, secretary of the Sunday School Union, is devoted exclusively to a discussion and publication of the financial report of Bishop J. H. Jones. This report which deals with the raising and expending of $300,000 for the building of Shorter Hall at Worcester University, was made public at the June meeting of Wiberefort trustees and okeyed by an auditing committee consisting of J. Q. Walace, J. M. Gillmere, D. T. Scott, D. Ormande Walker, J. W. Saunders, B. U. Taylor, Wm. T. Anderson, U. H. Butler, chairman, R. H. Bump and J. C. Beckett, assistant secretary Bryant Says Bryant points out what he calls the following high points in Bishop Jones's book: That Bishop Jones admit he was his own superintendent of construction, his own collector of funds, and his own bookkeeper; that he was the first to advance for his poor bookkeeper but the Auditing Committee "commands him for the care and painstaking way in which the books have been with exceptional care and accuracy"; Third: Bishop Jones credits "friends" on page 41 of the report why she asks the names of these "friends" were not given. Fourth: Bryant claims that the $74,852.72 which Bishop Jones was due during 1927, the year Brussels, the Chicago detective and others were investigating the university affairs. Fifth: "No friends" was the last money collected of the money listed in the year of 1927. No "friends" were listed as contributing from 1920 up to that time. Sixth: This $74,852.72 from "friends" plus the other contribution listed on page 41 makes a total contribution of $70,250.75 for the year of Seventh: On page 42 to 44. Bishop Jones has listed the pace each year of the money he owed to five and only five items of deposits listed for 1927 at the bottom of page 44. These items total only $3,974.10. Eighth: Which of which will be seen that according to Bishop Jones' own figures he received $70,735.67 into his in 1927 but only put in the bank at the credit of the school $3,974.10. Bryant Wants To Know Bryant declares that he would like to know which funds are "armed" by $80,000 and were not modest, perhaps, that their names should appear in print. He also desires to know how it is that Bishop Jones would get these funds from him from 1919 to 1927 while the Willforder campaign was going on and he closed waited until just before he closed in 1927 to make up the total report. ice, color or creed—plenty of Ice Cream without a penny's back to these old folks partimas—days they can never but never forget. attendant or matron of any ice Aged will write us NOW one of the institution and the only folk to serve—we'll take or cream must be made by Saturday, Dec. 10, 1927 HARLEM MAID SAYS NORDIC ROMEO WAS ARDENT White Lawyer's Attentions Made Her Quit Her Job, She Swears Testimony May Help Wife To Get Divorce NEW YORK—An affidavit given by Miss France Copeland, former Miss Michel family, alleges that Victor Milch, white, former Columbia football star, and now a lawyer with offices at 215 Broadway, advance toward her, imply to inveigle her into caring with him, and then threatened to kill her if she told her that affidavit was made a part of the papers filed before Supreme Court Justice Isadora Wassergrove in the accused deplorement of the accused lawyer asks an absolence Made Her Quit Miss Copeland also claims that the commencement of these indictments was forced her to leave her position at the Milch home, then at $27,100 street, where she worked between the dates of July 1 and No- Last October, so continues the former maid's statement, when she formed an incarceration and her husband had separated and that they had been principally in a court case, she told her to the wife.

Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Easily and cheaply made at home, but it boasts them all for quick results. Thousands of housewives have found how to save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations, by using this well-known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for results. It gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough. 24 hours or less. Get 2½ ounces of Pinex from any frugist, pour it into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make a full pint. If you prefer, use a clarified honey, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts a family a long time. It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs—soosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying throat tickle and dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, oresensitivity or bronchial asthma. Pinex is a special and highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract and palatable guaiacol, known the world over for its healing effect on membranes. To avoid disappointment, ask your in- spired coach with directions. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co., Pt. Wayne, Ind.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER All open in our news columns of this morning in the list of the candidates of the various offices to be voted for, mention is made of those who the Maryland Legislature, the Maryland Legislature, I note that one from the Seventeenth Ward and one from the Fourteenth Ward have attached to their names, in parenthesis, colon. I notice, judging from the names there, are these Italian, Jews, Germans, Slavs and various other nationalities. Will you kindly tell me why the nation is courageous enough to tell me why a class of people thrifty enough to accumulate sufficient money to purchase homes and become a worthy class of law abiding citizens of legislation pure like the Sun' which numbers hundreds if not thousands of readers among this class goes out of its way to do a small thing as designating a person by this means an enemy to defeat them for election. J. K. Murphy Opportunity's Survey Opportunity Magazine's annual survey of the weekly press made by Mr. Eugene Gordon of the Boston Post was made public last week. Newspapers we 1. According to news 2. According to editorials, 3. According to features, 4. According to make-up and general appearances. Mr. Gordon rated the "AFRO" first in news and general appearance, among the nation's weekly newspapers fourth in features and editorials. For the first time in three years the "AFRO" is not rated as the best all-round newspaper It's a delightful commentary upon the work of Mr. Gordon and "Opportunity Magazine" that these annual surveys have not only marked the progress of the press in general, but have inspired individual newspapers to improve Frankly the AFRO-AMERICAN is proud of the estimate Mr. Gordon places upon it. He says we undoubtedly "publish more news, and this more expertly treated than any other or ored newspaper." In another case he says "My final question is, what a medium it WHILE IT IS NEWS the AFRO-AMERICAN is superior to its rivals." When Mr. Gordon also puts us first in general make-up and appearance he also pays a fine compliment. In this group he rates the "Norfolk Journal" and the second and the "Philadelphia" third. These three papers, produced in their own plants where the non-union workmen are black from devil to compositor and pressman. Mr. Gordon rates above other newspapers workmen in far larger shops, by white union workmen presumably of greater skill and large experi- In many cases workers in the plants of the AFRO the "Tribune" and the "Guide" are self made. They have had no training outside of their home shops. Therefore when you Gordon places the highest stamp of approval upon their work, he is, perhaps unconsciously, paying a higher rate of workmen than he knows. The AFRO covets the honor of standing first in news and first in its general appearance. It believes features and editors should occupy second place in the finished weekly. Features we regard as the necessary evil in life of any newspaper, the dessert to top off a good meal. Grant M. Hyde in his book "Newpaper Editing: the old time American newspaper featured its editors and gave them a page. Now however editors have lost much of their prestige and in many papers are being maintained as an empty custom. News properly presented, not from the customary two sides but all sides and angles, makes a very less important. With the in hand no reader needs an editor to think for him. Manufacturer's Record The Manhattappletree magazine with a large audience largely in the South. Occasionally it prints a page or two upon the problem and we have pointed out that if its manufacturing reports were as shot thru with hokum, bigotry and conceive as its articles on the Negro, it would go bankrupt within a decade. For example there is an article on the "Negro question" in the current issue from the pen of the loquacious Mr. George Garner. In the course of two pages he declares: (1.) The people of the South understand the Negro. (2.) The Negro is amenable and even affectionate to the white race. He accepts them as his superiors, racially and in intellect and civilization. (3.) The theot of racial or social equality with the Negro is abhorrent to white men and women of the South. (4.) 70 per cent of the Negroes in Baltimore vote the Democratic ticket. (5.) The theot "more of this type of driver in the "Record" but AFRO readers have heard the first three points made ad nausea. We know to the contrary:— (1.) The South STANDS the Negro, therefore the latter are leaving as rapidly as they secure intelligence and a competence. (2.) As to the race superiority theory, we know that the race superiority theory, without approving it. (3. As to social equality, we have been over the ground so often that the path is well beaten. Mr. Garner, with all due respect to his color and his "Dixie" raiser is palpably ignorant. He shuts his eyes to the hairs in the South and sanctimoniously rants about the necessity of being white blood generally white. He even virtuously supposes that these two million mulattoes in the United States got their white blood by inoculation, or that mulattoes are simply a light skinned native African race. (4. Nothing shows Mr. Garner's senile stupidity any more than his statement about the vote in Baltimore, where he says "70 per cent of Negroes vote the democratic ticket and have a public vote." The registered vote shows 50 colored republicans in the city for every one colored democrat. At the last election these republicans Call VE'ron 6016 helped elect a republican mayor and two colored these are the facts and they are easily accessible to any person of energy and initiative. When Mr. Garner thru ignorance mishandles facts in the interest of a cause as far lost as his, he demonstrates the Record's need of more assistance in manufacturing and fewer on the race question. --- Reassuring Mr. Wilson Business men called a conference at Durham. N. C. this week December 7, 8. Invitations were sent out four months ago. Mr. Wm. C. Matthews, more politician than business man, declined to attend and "hoped" the Durham Conference would not turn out to be political. This next fact which we shall state has no connection with the two above, but it is true. Mr. J. Finley Wilson called a conference of fraternal leaders and "others" to meet in Washington December 6th and 7th. Invitations were sent out last week. If these three facts have any connection, it ought to be that for the Durham business man to remind Mr. Wilson that for once B-U-S-I-N-E-S-S does not mean the business of landing a political job. Religion -- Negroes Religion -- Negroes BY V. T. CALVERTON. Editor of "Modern Quarterly" Religion has invariably been a handicap to scientific advance. The martyrdom of the Brunos and Vannis and the genuflections of the Galioes have been but overt expressions of this struggle. In every country, in every era, this conflict has prevailed. Religion has rationalized the unknown in such terms as to keep it from being known. Science has endeavored to analyze the unknown so as to make it knowable and subject to control. The two attitudes are violently incompatible. Both have been used for the defense of ruling classes, but it is religion that stands itself more easily to the support of the status goo. Science Modern science developed with the rise of the bourgeoisie, and, therefore, at the time of its rapid growth, it performed a continuous effort to improve its knowledge. Today it is encouraged and utilized far more for the protection of the reigning order than for the advance of the new. Nevertheless, with the method of approach to the order Within method of religion lies only the return to an old. The Negro in clinging to Christianity handicaps his intellectual advance and economic progress. Christianity was foisted upon the Negro by a ruline class that has steadily used this religious influence to justify its own activities. Christianity was always followed the lead of the ruling order. Middle Ages In the Middle Ages, Gratian, one of the leading hierophants of the era, declared "the ideal system of life is communism," and one of the famous Schoolmen of the period argued that "he who has enough to satisfy his wants, and nevertheless ceaselessly labors to acquire riches—is incited by damnable avarice, sensuality and pride." When the sweep of social change ended the semi-communal life of feudalism, and the rise of the bourgeoisie with its individualistic economics and capitalistic greed created a new economic world, Christianity changed its color. In the Middle Ages it had attacked usury or interest-taking—the church itself had maintained that interest-takers were "monsters of inquiry." In the new commercial age it defends usury and exalts profit-seeking and financial success. The merchant who was once scorned, suddenly became exalted. John Calvin John Calvin, one of the greatest religious reformers, following the dictates of the BOUR-GEOEHEN, said: "What reason, he argued, is there why the income from business should not be larger than that from land-owning? Whence does the income from business accept from his own diligence and industry? Baxter, the English ecclesiastical, discovered that prudence and stability are more important than Steele, another English cleric, was even more emphatic. His words are memorable. "Success in business is proof that a man has labored faithfully in his vocation and that God has blessed his trade." Sermons were actually preached on the topic: "Kewe ye not your own, but your neighbor's wealth." War And Christianity In the past war Christianity reacted in the same fashion. The same Jesus was imbled by both sides to destroy the other. Jesus, the prince of peace, was made to justify war. In the class struggle, Jesus is not the one who is ejected from a Fifth Avenue church for preaching the gospel of the proletarian Jesus. In brief, this Jesus or this Christianity is anything that the changing order necessitates. It is one time communalistic, another time individualistic, another time bellicose. It has nothing of the steadiness and absoluteness which its adherents attribute to it. Spirituals Yet the Negro has absorbed this religion as his own. He is a man of great spirituality. His spirituals are shot, through with this sentiment: "All I need is a little more faith in Jesus' becomes a prevailing cry. Jesus becomes But has this Jesus, this Christianity, been such a warm and unchanging friend of the Nephrotes, that he enraged the enemy within camp and without. In the days of slavery it was this Jesus, this Christianity, that he was called the Savior. Scripture was adduced as evidence of the righteousness of slavery. The Negro was a descendant of Ham. He was cursed by God. He was a slave by the persecution of the system of slavery. Regret Garvey's Going (NEW YORK WORLD) "On the whole, we have a suspicion that the colored population of the country, and particularly of Harlem, will be better off for the deportation of Marcus Garvey. The colored population of Harvey has an unwelcome skill at separating the colored population from its money, and thus it is probably more desirable that he live in Jamaica, where the colored population has no money, than that he live in the United States, where it has a great "These considerations, however, do not lessen our grief at the prospect of losing him. For Garvey, in truth, is a fabulous fellow, a cow of swelling veneration, and a man of all sorts for all such members of the species. Was there ever such a title the one he conferred on himself—"His Highness, the Potentate of the Universal New Testament, the President of Africa." Had he been a railroad he could not have picked out for himself a more magnificently sonorous moniker. Particularly do we like the way he disregards the fact that he is the President of Africa and existing threats, and made himself not President of Abysinia or the Congo Free State or Egypt but Africa. There you get a glimpse of the size of Garsvey's soul. For Garvey the Jones in flesh, except that he is ten times as great a man as the arrogant Brutus. For Brutus Jones was in business, as he was frank to admit for the first time that he had got his he was perfectly willing to leave his empire to shift for itself. But Garvey was in business for the improvement of the human race, and. as we all know, there is no affliction of the ego company that derived from improving the human race. "Of course, what Garvey took for Garvey made what Jones took for Jones, that was accidental. The main thing with Garvey was always the human race, and say what you will, he made an impressive statement about the value of the worthy of a pretty good hire? As we have said, we regret his departure, and we only hope that somewhere in Jamaica he can find a uniform as good as which he used to wear in his palmy days here."

To the Editor: We wish to let the public know the conditions that exist within the walls of the one man Frederick Douglass High School. We wish to let the public know the modern high school or college. Some of the strict rules are as follows: The pupils are not given their thirty-five minutes of freedom as they should have it. After having have it, they are compelled to go to the auditorium and sit there as quiet as dummies or otherwise go to the courts in any sort of weather; or be seated in the auditorium for thirty-five minutes are not up, they are compelled to go to the auditorium and sit there as quiet as dummies or otherwise go to the courts in any sort of weather; or be seated in the auditorium for thirty-five minutes are not up, they are compelled to go to the auditorium and sit there as quiet as dummies or otherwise go to the courts in any sort of weather; or be seated in the auditorium for thirty-five minutes are not up, they are forced to lose two periods of their valuable work listening to the same dumb speech every morning by the vice principal, besides being detained after school until four or If a pupil should disobey anyone of these hard, selfish unjust rules he is sent to the principal without any chance of explanation and sometimes forced to lose from two to four weeks N. C. School Principal Explains Why He Wanted On Table At A Banquet In Addition To His Regular Teaching Duties. To the Editor: There appeared in the columns of the AFO-AMERICAN a few issues back an article, in which the high school section of the Negro System and the local state General System and the lowly principals were given no little attention. It may perhaps, be of interest to you to know what an "A" grade college for its white citizens. On this evening the machinery was to be seen and the students were to be requested to see just how that was to be done. I volunteered my services. I need not tell you that the cream of this little village was present. Not only when "white teachers are guests" but I wait at banquets when black teachers are guests. I am not ashamed to tell the world what I have done to people who can care for people who can change my conviction. I declare and contend that the world needs more than ever, men and women who can care for people who can change my conviction in these fields. The human touch is needed in every walk of life. If education means anything, it means that training that fits a person to serve humanity, that gives greater value to the common people. Of course, such men like Lewis L. McMillan, whose brains if put into a jay bird's head could be used to help him fight a disease, fail with me for waiting at a banquet while holding the principalship of a school. The bond of personal interest thus strengthened will not only bless the community but will enrich the life of the man. Lemus Prophesies The Recognition Of The Fulman Invention By The Fulman Company And Tells Why. To the Editor: Recognition of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the Pulman porters' union organized under leadership of A. Phillip Randolph by the Pulman Company will not be long deferred. It is entirely probable that such recognition will be accorded by the company based on evidence submitted by the Brotherhood to the U.S. Mediation Board without the superfluous formality of arbitration. This was forecast when the Chicago Defender came out two weeks ago in an editorial categorically indorsing the porters' union and laundering Mr. Randolph as a great leader. Hitherto, the DEFENDER had not editorially condemned the union. Its news columns, however, were always available for anti-union publicity while nothing pro-union was able to make the grade, and it was alleged that at least a ton of FENDERS were gratuitously distributed among Pulman porters by the company during the two years that have elapsed since Messrs. Randolph and Lancaster began their uphill task of organizing porters and maids of the Pulman service The reasons for recognition of the union by the Pullman Company are not far to seek. First, the leaders have, or at least had, a majority of the votes in the House of Representatives sent to the Mediation Board. If this were not true, Mediator Morrow never would have asked the company to arbitrate the question of representation with General Organizer Ralphon and the Pullman Company violated a law, that was not needed, but which was put on the statute books by the Coolidge administration for the purpose of settling a dispute as obtains between the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company. The company must pledge the administration, and the administration must not be made ridiculous with a national election in the offing. Therefore, the Brotherhood will be accorded recognition and the Pullman Company will seek to compensate pride by lying the Porters Union agreed to. The difference table. This Writer Wants His Fiction Heroes To Lead Blameless Lives. So... He Prefers "Heard And Seen In Baltimore" To "Detour For Hades." To the Editor: Methods our estrawhile esteemed penman, Rallers Matthews, should stick to writing humor. There was something quite charming in "Three Wives," and we were prone to feel, after all, that the young chap might write novels. But he has for the first time from the "Detour for Hades" that we find ourselves craving for more. "Heard and Seen around Baltimore." It is not ours to discourage any young aspiring artist. We would urge the young man to keep it, but he has a speak of "deaf" editor, for letting another story of the "Hades" type get the stamp of your approval. Confessedly, we do not know enough about the art of the writer writing to criticize the authors' role. We have quite more, however, that there were flashes of brilliance here and there in the story. If interest is a potent factor in a story—and it must be "Detour for Hades"—it has ever successful effort. The plot of the tale were well laid, and other features that go to make up a well written story were, so far as we are able to discover, well brought out with "the excess" That one exception ruins the story. It has no moral. All novels that are worth anything at all, any story that is worthy of the name leaves some moral lesson that is aimed to heliosociety. In this, "DETOUR FOR HAGES" registers, 240. It is a pity that a beautiful character like Vera Lane had to lose her honor and damn her pity because she had been disappointed in love. The crowning glory of a truly beautiful character is that she remains beautiful through adversity; that she does not, "bow to Bail," that she is not a victim of the injustice and forebearance and gentleness and loyalty and FAITH triumph. Why do our modern novelists like to do that sort of thing? Why do they have to drag every character into the story? Why is the heroine of the story a heroine at the start and at the finish, why can't she be all the way through? Is that not, after all, the challenge of being a writer? Is the worthy of emulation by those who shall read? What is to be gained by any of us when we read of the life Vera Lane lived in Baltimore? Although the influence is, at the end of the story, a great source of characters we can we think of her again as the priceless jewel we first knew at Bridgeville? It would be a mighty fine thing if our writers all had a more lofty idealism; that of the Shakespearean character, characters it was "Her voice was EVER so soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman." It would be a mighty counter-balance, however, by saying, we would like to know what Vera Lane was like. What is the "Heard and Seen Around Baltimore"? And for the present, at least, we think he might concentrate his efforts on writing in that vein. The Week Two strong intelligent, brave men represent you in that great body of intellect, justice. character. wealth—Benjamin J. Davi, great editor and Perry W. Howard, great lawyer. The committee missed its greatest debater, Henry Lincoln Johnson, but R. R. Church, that sterling young warrior and Walter L. Cohen, Chief in Counsel of all political progress were there. “You have great leaders yet. ‘Where are they?’ some will ask. Answer: in hiding, not from your enemies but from your doubt and your loud mouths. Count on these G. O. P. chieftains: Butler, Hilles, Pepper, the great lawyer. Mulvane, Kealing. Estabrook. McCloud, Allen Moore. Peck, Winfield. Lanstorm. Slemp. DuPont. the great Ruth McCormick, that sweet lady. Mrs. Sinclair LeVan, of Ohio, as noble as she is b. 'ful.' "Why is he such a Republican?" ing men will ask. My son, don't swap horses while crossing a stream. John Brown The last survivor of John Brown's stands at Harper Park. John Edward Rastall, is dead in Washington. Direct from John Brown, a governor reported to his old commander, on reaching the other side. "Sir, all is well." A good book to read on John Brown is Owald Carson Villard's history. You afford it, take and take it home. Reading makes a full man. Have the children read Villard's book to you discuss the children don't get much of John Brown's and then they sing: "John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave." That is about all. What they get about Lincoln is disgraceful. William Hale Thompson, please take notice. This is what Governor Henry W. Wise, of Virginia, who saw that John Brown was hanged, said of John Brown: "When men who think John Brown could be a mad man. He is a bundle, of the best nerves I ever saw, bleeding and in bonds. He is a man of courage, cool, collected and indomitable." (Look up that last verse.) Frederick Douglass thought Shed Green the hero of that day. When you think of Lincoln as Savior of the Union, think of John Brown as a bastion for the slave states. As a bastion and Lincoln had his John Brown. If Jesus takes exception to this, this humble writer is sorry, and apologizes. John Brown said to Douglass is scriptural. "The mountains are the basis of my plan. God has given the strength of the hilt tr freedom." Rastall was able to tell the great martyr: "Sir, I pray your soul is marching." YOU ARE THE SOUL OF JOHN BROWN. MARCH ON. Gary, Indiana Don't believe all you read or hear about that Gary (Ind.) school situation. Above all don't let anybody, high or low, whitewash Mayor Ploy Gold and take whatever he says with a grain of salt. This humble writer, knows the Mayor of Gary, better than any man of you. Because he is a bit more nervous than the Berner, Whitlock and Blackwell, all true blue. The only trouble in Gary from the start was due to your aldermen out-thinking Mayor Ploy Gold of Gerry, nothing of that kind can change facts. None of it is true. Why are you so quick to believe something that is not of your own mind? Your progress in real freedom is very, very slow. "Detectives" find out what they are paid to find out. A white detective is the last word. Think what you want to of a Negro detective. Tell him what a cheap politician. Tell your children about it. Now turn to more pleasant news from Indiana, and learn that Mayor and "detectives" to their tricks and trade. Better News A mixed football team from Froebel High School, Gary, composed of six "foreign young" players, includes the American and American vauished the Emerson High eleven, Gary, the Lil-whites who can't bear to read from the same book with God's children other-wise. Two or three days thereafter the same Froebel High School, eleven composed of "foreign" young white gentlemen, includes the eleven from the famous Shortridge High School, the all white high school of Indianapolis. The score was 70-0 in favor of Froebel. The mixed eleven of Gary is now champion of Indiana. The Ku Klux Klan and the colt native School of Indianapolis will please notice. A Decision By Taft Chief Justice Taft evidently took delight in handing down that Chinese decision. You read it of course, did you not? If not, then how can you discuss it? Mr. Taft said, "We are Chief Justice without ever having tried a law-suit. He not carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease." Think kindly of Mr. Harding. However, remember that he challenged the people when he appointed Mr. Taft. Remember that the people sat down on Mr. Taft. Is one unit to be president fit to be Chief Justice? Talk over this in your family; form your conclusions. Forget Mr. Taft, who is white with blue eyes, or at least gave you a sense of reassurance. The Chicago Tribune invites Mr. Glass of Virginia and Senator Borah of Idaho to debate. Mr. Glass says "No." Mr. Borah says "All right." Mr. Glass remembers Stephen A. Douglass. The man described Virginian" may have read Thomas Jefferson. Abyssinia You read about Abyssinia? Do you know anything about Abyssinia? Your ignorance appalls everybody. A few evenings ago, Dr. Wilfred H. Osgood spotted a woman in a street in Abyssinia. Dr. Osgood may be ignorant; uninformed, as many believe him to be, but pay attention to him. Believe in Abyssinia. Believe in yourselves. Tell every "white" gentleman you meet that Abyssinia is not old in government as government itself. ALL you read is written by those who don't believe in you and don't want you to believe in yourselves. Therefore, as you know, you don't believe that you are much and your children believe you are less. The average Abyssinian" are Osgood's words, "likes to show he is a fighting man". You are different from your first cousin back home. You are not as intelligent as your cousin. Between bullies in street cars and elders in the public we WILL be heard. Good Bye Garvey Say goodbye to Marcus Garvey. No use start cending Mr. Coolidge a lot of letters, petitions, prayers, why and whereforces. Mr. Garvey is a friend, so far as uncle Sam is concerned, home, forever. He got in the way of the N. A. A. C. P. and pays for his smartness. The difference between Mr. Garvey and the collection plate crowd of Fifth avenue is Mr. Garvey wished his "race" to show off while Fifth avenue ladies and gentlemen are satisfied with speeches, big articles, get into the court house now and then, hang on to the Dyer Bil. as a stock in trade. Nobody knows better than Diver, one of the lucky men of this world, that the bill bearing his name will never pass Congress; nobody better than the ladies and gentlemen passing the hat. Mr. Garvey, who will be deported, talked himself out of a home. Uncle Sam serves him right. Uncle Sam ought to go through Tarsem and embezzle his money. He has this country five years without becoming a citizen. The greatest West Indian was York Russell, who died several years ago. "Ship them back home," he used to tell this writer when he was a child. He shotoing his head in daily pastimes of a West Indian American "colored" people take that jaw and think a West Indian to be something superior, when, a matter of fact, a West Indian Negro is the last Negro in this world. Knock of Garvey, a great man and say goodbye. The Late Rule H S COMMITTEE LOUICO H. HALL, Principal J. C. Price School—Salbury. N. C. RIENZI B. LEMUS., Wash. D.

Table Etiket Dear Linotype: After having eaten in a restaurant for four years, I feel the urge of writing a book on table etiquette, from my limited observations. Among my rules are the follow- 1. Never bring food to your mouth, get your map as close as possible to your plate. 2. If your food is good, don't compliment the cook audibly so the world will know you appreciate it. 3. Don't wipe your mouth on a napkin, what's a table cloth for? What's a laundry bill for? 4. Don't talk softly to your companion, entreat him, or give him. Maybe they haven't heard the latest gossip. 5. Never tip the waitress, she's a big souled person and doesn't expect it. H. T.

But oh, the magic such coin can buy, The waking joy of a dawn-flushed sky, Dancing in the heartbats of common things, Songs in the heartbats of common things, And fireflit shadows of evening blent With peace and comfort and all-content. The wages of love are small, so small One scarce could say that they cost at all; Yet lives are lonely, and herats still ache In the heartbats of common things; The coin of a sake; And, many, a silk-clad life of ease. Would barter its purse of gold for these. Weekly Lessons In English Word Often Misused Don't say "he fell down upon the floor." "Down" is superfluous. Omit it.

Shepherd, Courageous Leader, Dies Tucked away in the corners of most race journals last week was the news that Dr. William H. Shepherd, courageous minister defied a government, suffered imprisonment to expose inhuman treatment of people he hated the Belgian Congo, had died in Louisville, Ky. High school boys and girls in this country who can give the life history of Florence Mills and Tigers. Flowerers without missing a man, the man who left luxuries to face cannibals and a brutal government in the heart of the Thick Continent. The thrilling exploits of Dr. Shepherd, fighting to toma, native superstition, wild animals and scorring feathers, after friends tried his soul, would make good bed time stories for race boys and girls. Of all things, however, she should not forgo Belgium when its King Leopold was chosen off the hands of natives who did not bring in their allotment of ivory and rubber. That expose sent a horrifying reaction around the nation which even effected the armoury lancers. Tell your boys and girls about Florence Mills, who made America and Europe laugh; tell them who instructed honest physical combat; but tell them of Dr. Shepherd, who cried; who bled; who suffered in prison for a noble deed; for an act which will give thousands of unborn men and women a chance to laugh. A Congress Goes Into Session Again We are actually farther away from a voice in that body than we were in December, 1926. We are of one in every ten of population we have one representative in whom we can depend to unalterably express our interests: Madden of Illinois. Maybe our leaders could manage a program through which we can again get some kind of representation in this legislative body. Of 96 senators and 435 members of congress, leaders could manage obtain two or three. There was a time when we could blame it on disfranchisement and other causes. But next year there won't be five states in which we have their votes. IPHE FIGHT HARD ENOUGH TO DO IT. There are more than a dozen congressional districts where if the race voters were pro-communist they could elect a representative to congress. From now on our group statesmen, politicians and leaders must take the blame for our low political state. What we need is leadership with objectives which extend beyond their own jobs and aspirations. This week with no race representative is a disgrace which cannot now be blamed on white men. We might just as well be frank; We lack the leadership; the brains and the organization ability. And until we get it, you can bet your life and party is going to be agressional birth into our laps. They are too valuable. Students representing more than 20 races and countries meeting in Baltimore this week to promote internal values of capitalistic, socialistic and communistic governments. For the general happiness and welfare of all human beings within their realms, which are the same as those in the United States; a socialistic regime like that being tried to some extent in Austria and some other European countries or a communistic government like Russia. Twenty years from now most countries will be deciding this vital question: just as a few years ago they began to try democracy and scrap kings. For most most nations can afford to see how communism works in Russia and how socialism works in Europe; but most of us will agree that human relations and economic development are satisfactorily anywhere on this sphere, and if any kind of an "ism" shows a system where human beings can get a more equitable distribution of human rights, the coming generations will give it consideration.

CELEBRETIES OF SHUFFLE ALONG NOW NEARLY ALL STARS Call VE rnon 6016 "Shuffle Along"A Vehicle For Many Stage Stars Flo Mills, Jo Baker, Lottie Gee, Miller And Lyles, Sissle And Blake, Edith Spencer, Pal Robeson, May Barnes, And Katherine Yarborough Were In Big Broadway Success. NEW YORK CITY—The recent passing of Florence Mills, whose first Broadway success was scored in the original "Shuffle Along" show team up Miller and Lyles with Sissle and Blake, causes your scribe to observe that probably no other race show has ever been as successful a vehicle for transport in many of our performers to the highways of stardom during spots. When the temperamental Gertie Saunders stepped out leaving wide open the door through which Flo was to step onto the road beginning her career to international renown, simultaneously many other careers desired to receive high points of stage success were being spun out by the fates that were unwittingly shaping the stage destinies of the first Shuffle Along" group. LOTTIE GEE The refined diminutive, charming, and alluring Lottie Gee received for the first time a sufficient setting and play for the proper portrayal and eminence of her stage roles. Before this, she had never received such accord and acclaim, coupled with pay raise and European billings, prior to her "Shuffle Along" accreture. SISSLE AND BEAKE Sissle Blake, almost an obscure piano player and struggling composer with Noble Sissle, the son of a preacher and an A.E.P. veteran with an overseas band outfit, sprang at once into the spotlight of the theatrical recognition and the limelight glare of spectacular special additions in private at large metropolitan "Four Hundred" affairs. Subsequent to this for a series of years, they had varied, successful, and captivated audiences, by storm captivated and by nearly a year the center of favoritism among the theatre and club public of the British Isles. Their successes as a team were uniform to the recent break. Blake is now teamed with "Broadway" Jones, playing Loew houses. Sissie is hired staging a mammoth revue which he later proposes to bring to Manhattan Isles. **MILLER AND LYLES** With the theatrical public acclaim that greeted Miller and Lyles in the first suspicious "Shuffle Along" effort, it was easily discernible to the most casual observer that upon their shoulders had fallen the mantle of the star of the show. We have these two Fisk University boys failed since this to be headlines. For a time they enjoyed feature spots on the Columbia wheel in Black and White" shows. This year they have come back with their production "Rang-Tang", which did a big business on Broadway for a long stretch and then took over being in the midst of an weeks engagement at the Tremont Theatre Boston. **PAUL ROBESON** The masterly singer-actor, Paul Robeson of ubiquitous intellectual powers and talents, received some of his first lessons in the "sock and cinnamon" series to take a part with the "Four Harmony" and the "first" "Shuffle Along." Soon thereafter he went to London to play opposite Mrs. Pat Campbell in "Wooden." The Protuctown Players seized upon him with an avidity on his return. Successively he was an added starter for Charles Gilpin and the first "Shuffle Along." He was then with Lawrence Brown, accompanist, he is now in France appears with great and uniform success in concert work. He seems to have forged the stage for the concert world and the work of recording for Victor. The brilliant scintillating, ever pleasing Edith Spencer, who crashed the gate of Broadway's acclaim, afterwards to feature in other shows and profitable vaudeville and night club engagements; the clever May Barnes, in her grotesque gaucheries; the Countess Mary Barnes, in her eccentric dress; and the chastened dull from the press dispatches by her escapades and daring originality; and the winnome, warm-singing Catherine Yarborough, whose voice as it tug out was a challenge to soulfulness and to surcause from sorrow—all and yet some more flit before the mind of your scribe as he sits in good reminiscence. The scribes sooner or later, other wittingly or unwittingly, stand out for fate to tap them on the shoulder—a signal that they are to step out a sign that they have been elected to sit in the seats of the mighty among the performers, a potent that bright lights are to herald their offences, that brilliant scribes are to chronicle their doings, a signal that dull, hum-drum of relative obscurity and routine minor parts have been waved into the umbo of part of colored performers, all longing for that one big chance, has fate by her tap selected more for page glory and preeminence than she did from the first "Shuffle Along." And at that your scribe fears that he has not even told the tale.

The jury has also sentenced him to "Underworld," the gripping, stark drama of modern gangster feuds that comes to the Regent for a three-day run beginning Monday, December 12. This actual story of the underworld was especially written for the screen by Ben Hecht, and gives the dramatic story of a man who dropped from the crust of life deep down into the mire and nightmares. The story also features the guns of the underworld, the Paramount masterpiece that includes in its cast headed by George Bancroft, such screen film as Clive Broek, Evelyn Brent and Larry Semon. Actual underworld characters that Hecht observed in his reporter days will be seen in all their frankness. Searchlights, revolvers, bricks, machines and the weapons of modern gang warfare will be seen in this absorbing story. Thursday and Friday the King of Swat, Babe Ruth, himself, will be seen in "Babe Comes Home" with Anna N. Nillson. The picture has the baseballer opportunities to get some good laugh and there is a plenty of comedy to watch. Walt and Walt, and The Little Journey, starring Lew Cody is the attraction for Saturday, "Beau Geste," Seventh Heaven, and "The Rough Riders" have been booked for the Regent and will be seen there soon. "Fourth Commandment," "Ankles Preferred," And "Salvation Lung" On Carey Bill Belle Bennett and Mary Carr, two of the screen's most likeable "mother" characters, will be seen in the picture, "The Fourth Commandment" that opens the Carey program on Monday. The story, a smashing drama of mother love, carries a powerful message and is full of unusual marriage themes. The "Claw" is Tuesday's Teature and will be followed on Wednesday by Ken Maynard in "Somewhere In Sonora," a historical western that has besides a good story some excellent photography. Madge Bellamy, a typical American girl who is eager to make her way in the world and who finds that her ankles are assets rather than liabilities. "Salvation Jane," with Viola Dana, is the feature picture on Friday, the picture being the story of a tenement-girl in her struggle to support an aged grandfather. "The Rides," number 6 and "The Isle Of Sunken Gold," chapter 8 supplemented by western feature and comedy will close the Carey program on Saturday. "Blood Ship," With Negro Actor, At Dunbar For Two Days—"Ben Hur" Coming "The Blood Ship" with Hobart Bosworth, Jacqueline Logan and Richard Arlen, is the attraction at the Dunbar for Monday and Tuesday, December 12 and 13. This picture, a stout drama of red-blooded sea fighting, and individual acting carries him to heights that approach those of stardom. His acting alone is well worth the price of admission and the story of captive prisoners in the early 30's. Wednesday is double feature day and the two pictures will be "Vanity," a short drama of red-blooded sea fighting. Friday's feature is the "Valley of Holl," a rip-coaring western, supplemented by "Hawk Of The Hills," number 7 and a good patre comedy. A good western picture will be the piece de resistance on Saturday, flanked by another chapter of "Whispering Smith Rides," a news reel, and a good two reel comedy. The management has secured that the former picture will play that house sometime within the next three weeks. "The Big Parade" will follow shortly after. For Thursday, "One Glorious Serap" is the attraction and for Saturday, the management has secured another of Bob Cusser's pictures, "The Terror Of Bar X."

Along Alpine Tangle, Lional Barymore and Norman Kerry the picture that the Royal management is bringing to its patrons for Monday and Tuesday, December 12 and 13. The graphic story of the woman, her lover, and her husband, and how her husband fought for her when he felt her slipping from his grasp, is revealed with startling sincerity in a series of scenes that will not soon be forgotten by those who see this For Wednesday and Thursday, "Singed," the offering starring Blanche Sweet who is ably supported by Warner Baxter and Mary McAllister. The picture taken from the story, and loved by Rogers St. Clair, is the story of its Old Passions. Blanche Sweet is probably at her best in this stirring love story. Rex, the Wild Horse, will be seen in a Universal production on Friday, and the horse production taken from the story by Sylvia Seldin and gives this wonderful horse opportunities to extend himself to the limit of his powers. Appearing in the photoplay "Topsy and Eva", at the Century this week is Noble Johnson, who portrays the part of Uncle Tom.

Third Floor Studio Drops Show Job Miss Lorraine, who was discovered hard at work in her little third-floor studio on Pennsylvania avenue, is a graduate of Baltimore two years ago, unknown and unsung, to embark on her most cherished mission. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, she shows interest in the lower grades, and just in the lower grades, and without instruction of any kind, practiced her art work, her principal satisfaction coming at that time, in being selected to draw holiday markers on the classroom blackboards. Traveling with a show and making jumps every week-end did not matter to her. She planned, so when "Broadway Bastus" after playing an engagement here in 1935, got ready to leave, it was minus one member, but she was in Baltimore. A total stranger in a large city, she secured lodging with Mrs. Elizabeth (Lizzie) She had been there only a short time when she sent for her mother and father who were then living in North Carolina.

BEN·HUR ROLAND HAYES GIVES FIRST RECITAL OF LONDON SEASON Saturday, Dec. 10, 1927 ROLAND HAYES SINGS TO LONDON CROWD Virginia Hall Too Small To Accomodate Those Who Wished To Hear Him SPIRITUALS BEST Audience Forces Him To En- cores As Usual (Lady Trene In African World) The world-famed tenor, Mr. Roland Hayes, took the packed audience by storm on Thursday evening. November 12, when he performed "More Hall," which was all too small to accommodate those who knew him, his appreciations due to his artistry. The concert was a delight all through, for in addition to Mr was a delightful hit in addition to his known ability to depict feeling he exhibits a command of beautiful legato and cellulite, and must completely capture his hearers. It is indeed, particularly with his technique, that he makes his big appeal, producing as he does a sort of "tender" tone although the sound is hardly adequate with the lightest touch and most exquisite effect. This hing he exhibits a command of beautiful legato and delicate nuance that brings him pleasure to capture his hearts. It is, indeed, particularly with the latter quality and the big peal, producing as he does a sort of 'tender' tone (although the word 'tender' is quite adjective with the lightest touch and most exquisite effect). This cast by Antonello Lotti, Mr Hayes rendering of which was notable for sheer beauty. His voice lends charm to everything he sings, but in Schubert's 'Die Liebe Hat Diegeln' as is Trequand, with a tonic in the higher register was sometimes slightly forced strained. Another delicious item was 'Der Jungling an der Perlquellen' as best perfectly as a vehicle for the display of Mr. Hayes wonderful art. Griffes two-namely: "In a Myrtle Shade", and "The Dreams Lake"—were especially enchanting, their allurement being enhanced by the singer's admirably clear diction. Mr. Haves' performance of Neuro Spirituals has already been acclaimed: suffice it then to say that he is the ideal exponent. On Thursday night he gave four. "Done Made My Vow." "It's Me, O Lord". "Sit Down" and "Great Camp Meetin", and you could have heard a pin drop for some time after he sionped, before the applause began. The plagiarism expression he put into "It's Me, O Lord" was sufficient of itself to leave an unforgettable mark on the memory.

Whether this is a re-inforcement for the hypothesis of age giving way to youth, will not be argued here. Another phase of this story is Facts bear out the statement that some old-timers and those who have attained a small degree of eminence in the show world, are restless, are not keeping pace with the demands of the theatre-going public. Managers and producers have been waiting the indigo some insisting outside of the theatre outside of the theatre and that good acts are going begging. An actor in a recent show was asked about such production, and people who had seen him in those shows knew that he had given some very credit to him. He saw him on the first night, and again on the second night, meandered through performance as we have been forced to see, they scratched their heads and rubbed their eyes saving, "Surely this is the same man." But sad to say, it was. Acts Repeated Acts are being repeated with almost the identical sameness that they were in the past, often being unknown to the coming generation. The youngsters, how-ever they may be, are finding nothing to lose, are finding that freshness and variety are requisites to their staze advancement and are requiring their acts generously with them. It may be pointed out that old-timers are writing the acts for these children given a hand chiefly because of their youth and as encouragement of their efforts, but this is no excuse for their neglecting their own turns. If they can produce good stuff for the kids they can do to do equally well for them, themselves. The Kiddies There will always be some old reigning favorites—those who keep upace of the times. Honor and praise are due these veterans who realize that the fight is never really over. We are the crop of juvenile performers on the upward grade, singers, dancers, comedians, and others, with special acts. Our first high salaried movie actor was only a child and from the amusement of our stage it looks at if a little child shall show the way. Show Music A patron at a road show performance recently remarked, "Can you beat it? That piece is every bit of five years old." He was wrong, however for the piece in question was PTFT. Which leads to the point that there are a goodly number of shows on the road today that have some fair talent, some fine talent, we will say. But they let this talent waste itself singing numbers that have an infant canine days. Music when it is good is lifted $dilly from other shows or com- panies, and about Negress but being written by whites. We realize that the late use of certain pieces is due to certain copyright restrictions. But what makes a show so exciting is the showman, before starting out in the producing game, doesn't write, or get some one to write for him or her. It might be an expensive beginning but it would certainly go a long way toward remedying a condition that is next to nauseaating when show players are in the audience. "Someday Sweetheart" "Hello Bluebird", and the host of others that grate upon the customers' ears. "We're not expecting anything like that," the Shuffle elfinger." "Banz Tang" and the like. but are thinking chiefly of some catchy little tunes that would make of the show something that would be popular among others that follow in its wake. The walk into a theatre and hear music of this nature would be a mighty pleasing thing and were we would would enjoy it if they didn't飞 first. Show Girls Salaries A chorus girl, when asked between shows the other day as to her intentions of remaining in the show business, replied in an emphatic negative. She clarified her position by explaining that it was not because of a dislike for the stage but because she felt the money paid insufficient. Before she could get further in her arraignment of the show business in general, two or three other chorines chimed in, in support of the first speaker's argument. The gist of the girls' arguments hinged around the little word 'per'. Hired to receive certain wages per week, they insist that they receive it 'perhaps' and that quite frequently. The salary level, even when met regularly, they say, is entirely too low, stating that even the quiet, conservative type of a girl finds it next to impossible to lay aside a penny for a wet spell and is forced to use of the car openers as the chief cooking utensils. It may be that a large number of these complainers are, if paid all, being paid more than their abilities are worth and then there are examples of the chorus girls who stay with aggregations for long periods without squawk. One girl said that it was impossible for girls in some shows to get clothed the girls, extending them credit until they are in such debt as to be unable to get away, as to be unable toisations have as yet remained undenied. Within recent weeks several shows have been disbanded or forced to close for a week or two because their casts were not performing these folks were being paid according to their worth is a matter of conjecture but we hardly believe they would quit flat as long as the iron men were rolling in merrill the box office drew out well you can't get blood from a turnip. Seeking Segregation Almost on the heels of the article by Gustavus T. Steward concerning the "best" of our people ACCEPT comes the news from New Orleans saying that the Lyric Theatre, reputed to be the largest colored house in the South, had been forced to BEERRED to nay the same price charged for orchestra seats in the Lyric, for the PRIVILEGE of sitting in the gallery of the white theaters in town. There may have been many reasons for the refusal of Negroes there, but there must have been some, and probably there was a justifiable one. But we can see no reason why Negroes should flock to get a gallery in a white house to see white seats. It hardly seems possible that a theatre could keep its doors open for almost six years without giving it any security, and if the management did not give its customers a fair break the boxoffice could have been their resource long before now. As we said before, something is needed for both, to bring the theatre's closing, but yet we can see why even the refusal to keep their own house lighted should lead to the gallery complex. "the best people" are included in the number that now infest the galleries of New Orleans white theatres is a gamble. There probably are some, but most of them are not well cared for. But as has been said, "My people, My people." "BROADWAY TO DINIE" LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Carryng twenty people, the new Tolliver and Harris show, a bain, a bain.

Producer PANAMA—People on the Isthmus are still humming the tunes from Milton Garvey's latest play, "Helen. The Showdown," which lyrics were by Fred Braithwaite and music by Garfield Murray. Garvey, play playwright, began his career in 1923 when he wrote starring Miss Rickett and directed by V. Moore, was represented by the Musical Art Association in the cities Panama and Colon with marked excellence. Inspired by this success, Garvey popularly called Milton, produced in Out of Wall Street. In this play he starred Miss Iris George and the play scored the greatest triumph of all the large cities on the Isthmus. Last year he produced "Helen. The Showwit" and in this play featured Miss Carly Cumberland. He presented "The Isthmus," playing the Variedades Theatre, the Paradise Clubhouse and La Boca Clubhouse, Panama, and at the Strand Theatre in Colon and at the Cobham Theatre, being called the Panama Melodramatic Company. The story of the play is built around the clubhouse, who is made up in 2 years then the money of a big financier, Mem- ADJUDGED BY "Opportunity" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-28 LONDON "SHOW BOAT" Brown-Skin Gal by Barber There is something might "Brown-Skin Gal" that of.

"Making folks happy is my greatest pleasure", says Miss Copeland and besides the numerous theatre-goers that she entertains are those little waifs down in Virginia who await expectantly the coming of the boxes from "Martha". During the summer months she visits her family and friends sometimes remaining three or four months. Although brought up in a traditional Baptist family, Martha, with growing experience, has turned to the Christian Science faith and is a devout reader of its literature. Having no children of her own, but being especially fond of them, she says her one ambition now is to be able to accumulate enough money to buy and operate a home for orphan and friendless children, and she sets aside a portion of her earnings each year, looking toward the future. Cornell Johnson, was formerly with Cole and Johnson, but her immediate family was devoid of any theatrical experience or inclination. "It just seemed to come natural to me to believe the world has a living for me, I'm going to get it and in doing so try to help others along the way."

MUSICIAN'S TRAIL By CARL DITON Rain is a very serious factor to contend with in the concert field, and concert promoter and concert artist alike hold the greatest awe of it. Strange to say, however, rain not so frequently is encountered by the concert artist as one might expect. This may be due in part to the sufficiently large daily mileage taking the artist far from the pace of an impending rain. Occasionally, tho, it pours. And it fell to the lot of Harrisburg to receive it on a night when I was supposed to make my initial bow as baritone recitalist. One might have readily quoted the next morning the well-known spiritual: "Didn't it And so the prospects of what everyone was looking forward to, a highly successful concert, were lost in the midst of the course. I went through my program before the few who had braved the inclemency, Harrisburg, the capital of the Keystone state. is one of the most important cities for a nobler appreciation of genuine music. For some years, I am told, there was but one important music event per year and that concluded in a dance! But since the Harrisburg concert of Negro Musicians, Inc. came into existence, a higher standard of concert-giving has been the outcome. And no one seems to miss the dance! Baltimore Numbers Feature At Regent The Regent Theatre Orchestra, under the direction of Isaiah Thompson, is featuring this week compositions of Baltimoreans, James Jones, solo violinist, is heard in a number of his works, including a accompaniment, and George Blas, popular songster, is singing "There's No One I Can Love But You," a fox-trot number composed by Tomie Jackson, local musician.

He has moved to Colorado and moved and moved to the regular winter quarters at Little Rock. J. Ross曼顿 Johnson and Taylor Sage attended a bit of attention at the Mayflower Hotel, London. John Diggs writes that the Banbow "Get My Gig, January 1, 1928" Martha Corsonel has just knocked out two opponents for the Columbia Pho- nix. Harrison Blackburn, the one man circus, is doing stock at the Moore Theatre, Dallas, Texas. Stewart's staff is still doing the stage unit stuff at the Willard in Chicago. George Watts is playing his single over Lew's eastern and is getting a good hand. Joyner And Foster A critic of "Billboard", theatrical magazine, who saw the team of Joyner and Foster at the Palace Theatre, New York, says this of the play. This is a capable burnt-cork due with fast stepping as their specialty. They indulge in some cross-fire chalk points, but at this performance go over nicely. Their dialog compries the familiar threats to do each other bodily harm and they contribut to the success of this line of action. The shorter of the twain is a speedy tap dancer and showed his paces in a couple of nifty contributions. His partner—heward is a clever eccentric dancer. When it comes to shuffling this chap can hold his own with anything playing around vaudeville. As comedian he has the power to get away with the laughs. Their closing bit is a wow. They enter into an argument regarding their puelistic prowess, and the tall fellow, who does most of the gropeing, eventually gets the word of the argument, flashes a razor and chases the smaller chap off in a standstill race for life while the flicker spots gives him the laugh. They were given a bag hand at this performance.

Chorus Girls Frown On Idea Of 'Companionate Marriage' Josephine Oliver And Mildred Pritchett Say Love Impossible Under Such Conditions Josephine Oliver and Mildred Pritchett, the Ruth and Naomi of the Royal Flush Revue Co. were the first to wear 10 oclock in the morning. Who wouldn't be prevented to have their slumber disturbed especially after they had turned over for dinner? But Miss Oliver, we only want to talk to you about companionate marriage. And then both of these petite dancers were in love with you. "Companionate marriage? this from Miss Oliver. "Companionate marriage? echoed Miss Pritchett, the Naomi of the Royal Flush Co. they chinned; "mothin' but a lot of old razzberries." "Do you mean to say that you would object to such a marriage?" "Oh, I don't. I am phatic affirmative. Miss Oliver continued: "This companionate marriage stuff is too much of a business for me. I want to marry. Marriage to me would mean sharing my happiness with my husband, and believe me. I want to see him every day." Miss Pritchett, her appraisal and added a "me too." Sing And Dance These two lithe young, brown-skinned girls, who dance and prance in the sun, never knew each other until they were each about 12 years old. Josephine Phillips, a Yorker, comes from a family of three children, all of whom have had some stage experience. Meet In N. Y. When verses appeared in recitations at the Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York City, later ap- Washington Boys With Burlesque Two Washington lads, Edward Morton and "Buster" Newman, appeared on the Palace Theatre stage last week with the "Here" actress, a singing and dancing act. Newman, who gives his address as 326 Tea street, N. W., and Morton, who lives at 1317 S street, N. W., received a nice performance of buck n wing that they put over. Newman used to work around Howard selling candy and has appeared in "Broadway Brevities" and "Raritah" to the present show season is 'Off' and mentioned the numerous actors now idle and others working for much less money than formally. The cutting off of Negro shows Colored Golf wheel the circuit and Mutual combined, three many out of jobs, and since that time show managers have been offering less money. One of the players that has hurt the most, the host, they said, was the use of big pictures and using a few acts as presentations. STAR Rosa Johnson, with her "Broadway Flappers" is at the Star this week. Rosa is handling the blues end of the show and wining the contest, which she makes the customers hang their heads and sigh. She gets good support from her jazz band of 7 pieces too, for those who hogging the Smith, choreine, singing "Tie Me to Your Apron Strings" again but falls to get the expression necessary to put the number across the truth. She plays violin, Bennie Robinson, slim clarinet, appear to good advantage in a couple of duos and it can be said right here that this Robinson boy toots a wicked reed and that's not Marie Hampton and Mary Smith do a duo dance that needs a whole lot more of variation to be perfect. However it wont accrue as much by no means to the customers of their seats. Willie Townsend, in a straight part does some fast, but not-born-yesterday hoofing, which got a nice hand. He was followed by Lola Belle Willett, who pepped up and singing "Tell Me What You've Made Me" added with some improved hoofing by the chorines. Slick Potter and Kid County handles the blackface comedy getting across some patter that would be better they took advantages of more opportunities to make comedy sit- The band is the mainstay of the show and we would like to try to correct some of the mistakes we get the once in a while. It would aid in pepping up a show that has good possibilities, but which fails to utilize them to their maximum potential. Theatre History 10 YEARS Roland Hayes, Lillian Evans (Mme.

ADJUDGED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-28 USICAL CHARLIE CHIRPS: A CONDUCTOR FEARS NO ONE - HE TELLS EM ALL WHERE TO GET OFF! E UNCLE DUDLEY SAYS There are a number of idle actors in Washington, they don't care to work any place other than Washington. I guess it's pretty soft for them around here, still I see them pan handling it and the handlers it is easier for them in Washington during the winter than it is in New York. I am proud to say that business is placed in and around Washington. I do believe if we are able to give the public what they want they will support these houses, but who knows what the cause of the increase in business in and around Washington is due to the fact that we are getting a little better and would think that this would encourage the actors to get something new, but the only thing they get new is the OVER NIGHT JOHN BALLY. It is too bad that the people have no ambition. We are now setting ready to make the greatest colored picture ever possible, much for we have never had a real great picture, we have had only fails. So when I say we are going to make a great climbing a mountain. Still I am sure the COLORED PLAYERS CORPORATION will make this picture. Therefore, I wish to invite all pretty girls (brownskins) to send in their photographs, as we want the most beautiful brownskins available for this picture.

J. Albert Green, pastor of First Colored Baptist Church, was written this week when both sides practically agreed on a compromise settlement. This decision followed court action Friday when Judge Owens sustained a demurrier filed by attorneys for the church. The demurrier, restored by the deacons preventing him from occupying the pulpit of the church. While the dismissal of the demurrier was not restored, Green the Green to the pastorate, it was declared by persons in a position to know that he would not make any attempt to retain the pastorate of the monetary adjourns were made. Two Weeks' Notice The decision of Judge Owens was based on the fact that the meeting which ousted the pastor was not announced two weeks in advance, as required. This decision and the certainty that the church would again attempt to oust him, were given as reasons why both sides may reach a compromise settlement. The decision officer declared that they would take the matter to the court of appeals rather than have the pastor return. S8.200 Involved There is $8,200 cash in bank to the credit of the church. it is said, and some Green adherents half of whatever sum is on hand. It was also said that later the sum was fixed at more than $10,000 to date, and other expenses involved in the proceedings. Officers of the church are said to be willing to make this offer, but this week to have this offer approved by the congregation. Long Fought Case The case has been one of the most sensationally successful of the denomination here. On December 23, 1925, at the instigation of the Rev. Mr. Green, eight of his 13 deacons and by men sympathy with the pastor. In the following Wednesday they filed suit for an injunction on the grounds that they had been accused of firing a came in the courts it precipitated charges that the pastor had asked a $1000 extra fee for adjusting a property that he had charged full expenses on a trip to California when he had in reality only paid clergymen rates and that he was trying to get in possession of the church for selfish purposes. The Rev. Mr. Green charged that the ousted deacons were unprogressive and that they were detained. The case was decided in favor of the pastor by Judge Stanton June 2nd. New Fight Immediately following this, however, a new fight arose when Chuhnu was called to the status of the deacons and at the same time ousted the pastor. On June 25 a bill for an injunction was filed by the pulpit. On June 30th an answer was filed and on July 1st another bill was filed for dissolution. On July 16 the lawyers agreed to strike out the answer filed by the Rev. Mr. Green and the deacons toemnur which Owens dismissed Friday. ESTABLISHED 1908 Insure In The STAR LIFE INSURANCE CO.

Ga.-in a show down, the Tigers field and 2000 people on the line, the Tuskegee Tigers downed Atlanta University 7 to 0, at Spiller Field Friday. Visitors, with an unusually large assortment of trick plays and forward passes, were forced to resort to line bucking, but with the field covered, the ball ground was gained by either eleven. Tuskegee, after playing in Atlanta's territory for the larger part of the season, covered the ball when the former fumbled near their goal line. Then on the first two plays in the next play the former went thru the local line ten yards to the place kick. Abbott went Shanklin in to replace Bailey at full, and on the next play the former went thru the local line ten yards to the place kick. Abbott added the extra point. Atlanta made a determined drive in the third period, where he captured 35-yard line down the field fifty yards on short passes, only to lose it on a fumble. Several times the locals had the ball in Tuskegee's territory, but lost it by fumbles. Out of nine picks, the Alabama completed two. The Alabama boys won their fourth Southern championship, and their forty-ninth straight victory.

Nearly every spectator, old player, or alumnus at some time or another expresses himself critically about the work of an official. This is part of the game. It is a splendid means of argumentative recreation. Many of the comments are extremely amusing to officials. In fact a high sense of humor is necessary that the official be able to stand the strain. The loud mouthed verbal shafts hurled from out the stands and bleachers usually pass off like pellets of hall from airn roof in hot summer time Occasionally, however, some incident lets loose the pent up emotions of a crowd of stank partisans and transforms them into a mob which causes officials many anxious seconds from which they sometimes do not emerge unsheathed. **OLD GRAD** The "Old Grad" whose this year's criticism is framed from a knowledge of last year's or some other year's knowledge works off his declining confidence and is harder in warning the coaches about the future use of that "rotten" official.

Giant Socked In Claimed For There is an old story told of how Peter Jackson, famous pugilist fighter, attained his first pugilistic greatness, in Louisville, Ky. He offered $500 to any fighter in the city who could stay in the ring four rounds with Pete. Many of the much-quoted boxers of the city considered him a formidable opponent formed by some of the local sports to bring on a scraper from Birmingham. Ala. He was much talked of as a "wonder" and his backers were formed a side but on $1,000. Pete's manager was game and the money was put up. On the night of the fight the unknown appeared in the ring as a stocking feet weighting 250 pounds. He made Jackson look like a pimp. At the end of the first round, Peter was asked what he thought of his opponent. Finally he replied that the round would be "Big Six's" last. When the bell rang Peter fainted. When the spirit of the Yule-tide appeared, we knew exactly what it meant. We meant that every man, woman and child would throw off the old and put on the new business appeal. We told it our business head in our men's headwear in a crowd. We invited a visitor to a stall to either of our four stores which convinced us that we have made a good selection.

MOREHOUSE,14 FISK U.,13 Fisk's Second Score Comes On 65-Yard Run By JOHN DAVIS NASHVILLE. Tenn.—Morehouse College ended its football season by defeating “Tubby” Johnson’s Fisk Buldoos 14 to 13, in a closely played game here Saturday. In the first quarter the running of Davis and Gee twice brought the ball within Morehouse's ten-yard line, but on each occasion the "Tigers" backfield broke up passes that seemed sure touchdowns. In the second quarter the Maroon eleven through the brilliant running of Saunders and Forbes carried the ball into Fisk's territory. A pass from Saunders to Bell brought the ball to the nine-yard line and an off-tackle play took the ball within a foot-of goal. Three times the Fisk line prevented the ball from going over, but on the fourth down Saunders crashed through for a touchdown. A pass from Saunders to Edmonds scored the point after goal. Intercepted Pass Early in the second half Edmonds intercepted a pass from Yost to Thornhill and ran thirty-five yards for a touchdown. Eberhardt scored the extra point by an end run. Two touchdowns behind, the Bulldogs rallied and showed remarkable fight. Gee made two successive runs of 25 yards and scored two for Thornhill. Netted fourteen yards. A long pass from Thornhill to Brooks netted a touchdown. Yost failed to make point after goal on an end run. In fourth quarter a 25-yard run by Gee again paved the way for a touchdown. On the next play with perfect interference Peterson ran right through Morehouse's line for a touchdown. Yost kicked goal. Morehouse's Line Holds Three times the Bulldogs broke through the line and blocked punt. The ball was returned and we were unable to gain through the Morehouse line. Twice-long passes. The game ended with the ball on Morehouse's 28-yard line with a teammate by clean playing and good sportsmanship, only one fifteen-yard penalty in the whole game. Line-Up Brooks ..... L. B .....

The public is entitled to know the facts about the Wick Waller interest in the "Tiger Flowers' estate; and just why he nursed his corpse; stayed in the understake" of his wife not to come to New York for his remains; why he sought and seeks to keep her from her home; continues to visit and threaten her with taking the child away from her, and putting her in the asylum. The public is entitled to know who Negroes better than he does his own interest with Negroes on the sky, and Mr. Miller is no exception to the rule. The public is questioning Mr. Miller's interest, and not love. "Tiger" Flowers left an estate of $100,000, more or less, and sought to entail it for the benefit of his legal home was his wife's in fee simple, and was not his to dispose of. In November 1928, he conveyed by trust deed, his daughter, Verna Lee, naming said property in trust deed. He appointed himself trustee, to hold in trust said property for the benefit of his daughter, Verna Lee, bond, or the obligation to report or account to anybody. This trust was conveyed, without reservation, by making a trust, or warranty deed. Flowers provided for the trustees, Trustee for Verna Lee Flowers, for her use and benefit. The trust deed provided, that in case of death, or resignation of the trustee, Flowers provided by law. The deed was prepared by Thomas W. Holmes, attorney, and legally executed, but after the deed left Attorney Holmes, an attorney, the trustee reserved the right to mention his successor in his will. Mr. Flowers omitted from the trusteeship certain property, or real estate, which at the time of his death could turn up with a will executed in New York, the day before the trustee's death, disposing of his estate, and appointing Mr. Miller, both trustee and attorney, to the estate, without bond and relieved of the duty of reporting, or accounting to the law, or anybody else on earth, and providing no compensation to him, without bond, without him with the full power and authority of the original trustee. Under this will, Miller could sell the entire property, and put the proceeds in his pocket, and hold him to accountability. It was all right for such power and authority to be lodged in the original trustee, who created the trust, but all willows were to accept the handling of an estate of $125,000, and acting the trustee in perpetuity for nothing. Under Walk Miller's will, the little girl would not even come into possession of her property when she is twenty-one years old, but Mr. Miller will give the wife all of his personal property without naming it, and the company will give him the property without naming it, and $2,500 in cash. To his mother, he gave $1,000 in cash, and a house and lot at 938 Simpson Street, a friend, named Mattle Jarrett, provided always that there was enough cash to meet these items. These are Miller's property. Miller claims Mr. Flowers executed in New York, a few hours before he went upon the table for the operation Mr. Miller advised him. Mrs. Flowers Harassed Mrs. Flowers reciept her attorneys the following story, which was released by them: That, Mr. Mijler continues to visit her, annoy and harass her, and build away, put it in an orphan house, and put her in an asylum for the insane; that he has not settled with Tiger, nor her for the last three months of her husband's care of her husband's $5,000 Lincoln automobiles; that he demanded that she turn over to him the keys to her husband's safe deposit box; that she has been so intimidated by him that she is actually afraid to come out into the streets to attend to her business, or to consult her attorneys. That she is living in actual fear of her husband's manager, who has taken complete charge of his estate; that he has ordered her to move out of the house, and execute in charge of the estate, and trustee for her child, whom he would remove, and put her out of doors, unless she took his orders.

LE COUNT CHESTNUT NEW YORK CITY.—"Hype Igo" metropolitan sports writer last week issued a list weighty heaviests from the time of John L. Sullivan. The choices were thus: 1. Dempsey; 2. Corbett; 3. Fitzsimmons; 4. Jackson; 5. Sullivan; 6. Johnson; 7. Jeffries; 8. Tunney; 9. Willard; 10. NEW YORK CITY.—"Hype Ige last week issued a list of rating heavy van. The choices were thus: 1. Den Jackson; 2. Sullivan; 6. Johnson; 7. Sharkey (Form). In issuing it to note that this issued by "Gentleman" James Curtis sports writer, and considered a leap put Peter Jackson No. 1. They also In discussing his rating of the "Hype" has this to say: "Johnson of The Curtis course, raises a very interesting questio on prize fighting, pauses to add it rightly there was nothing the man showed when he packed his leather r region with such force that as the ill-used listening device "front teeth from his. It is interesting to note that this list is at wide variance with the ones issued by "Gentleman" James Corset, himself, and by Otto Floto, Denver sports' writer, and considered a leading authority. Both of these men put Peter Jackson No. 1. They also rated Jack Johnson above Dempsey. In discussing his rating of the two colored fighters in the list Mr. "Gee" has this to say, "Johnson of Reno was a great defensive fighter. The top five would have outroured an opponent and taken him to the point of authorizing an attack, and your scribe, while no authority on prize fighting, pauses to add the observation that if he remembers it rightly there was nothing the matter with the punching Jack Johnson showed when he packed his leather pusher into Stanley Ketchel's chewing region with such force as he could, he would have to deal a little birdies chirp. Jack was busy wiping the "boy wonder" front teeth from his glove. THE JEFFRIES FIGHT Again, it seems pertinent to observe that in the Reno contest with Jeffries, as your scribe remembers it, Johnson did not have much necessity for the strength of his arm. He was the willingness if necessary to rough and mix it by the way he held Jeffries up in his arms, and by the way he treated him in the clinches. Nor was even the Jeffries as strong as he was, considering considerable of the blessed power to punch, and to those in doubt we suggest that Mr. Jeffries be paged at once. Again, it seems pertinent to obey Jeffries, as your scribe remembers it, for defensive work. But he did show the willingness if necessary to rough wires even the Jeffries of Reno any in this same contest considerable of those in doubt we suggest that Mr. DEMPTSEX-THING that all the others are and outpunched Jackson." This we we but say that Jim Corbett, admit all for all times, could not in a six outspouse the Australian black, and Jackson was fighting under the same hat. Further Mr. Igee rises to observe. "The Dempsey of Toledo had EVERYTHING that all the others had at their best—He would have outsped and outpunched him. He would have outsped and outpunched Jim Corbett, admittedly the greatest speeder-up" of them all for all times, could not in a sixty-one round bout with Peter Jackson outsped the Australian black, and at a time when it is well known that Jackson was fighting the handicap of an ankle injured a few days earlier. "That's that." DEMPSEY—JOHNSON 'Now this from our friend writer "Hype," Dempsey would have out-roughed Johnson. "To this your scribe rises but to say, "Dear, me. How pathetic." Knowing the admitted cleverness of Jack, and mindful of the statement. If Dempsey, when not yet tot of his twenties, and in a both great defensive skill of Johnson, was not yet out of his twenties, and in about statement, Dempsey knew he had but to last only ten rounds, presented the pitiful spectacle of lack of resourcefulness, speed, and ring generalship that he did when he stood there in the center of the ring baffled, and "blah-blah-ed" a school boy for Tunney to come and fight, when it was up to him Jack to catch him and put him out, how courageous he had rough the resourceful Jack. And remember, he was thus lost when he had just had his man "horizontal" for a near count resulting from some cracks. "Now this from our friend writer roughed Johnson. "To this your serpetic pathetic." Knowing the admitted client statement. If Dempsey was the great defensive skill of Johnson, it a statement. If Dempsey, when not where he knew he had but to last spectacle of lack of resourcefulness, did when he stood there in the center of his school key for him him Jack to catch him and put him rough the resourceful Jack. And rent just had his man "horizontal" for a to the "button." TUNNEY—FEATHER Nor has your scribe even passed Jack Johnson be doing all the time an open target like Dempsey, who thoroughly punched drunk from a "fee" stutter with a two-fisted but suicide. Now when Mr. Igoe" announce these word, "I'm going to put on a Well, we have just thrown a few, and P. A. L. SOCCER LEAGUE Nor has your scribe even passed to provoke the question, what would Jack Johnson be doing all the time Jack Dempsey was roughing it? For an open target like Dempsey, who has on two occasions been rendered thoroughly punch drunk from a "feather duster" puncher like Tumney, to attempt to mix it with a two-fisted fighter like Johnson, would have been nothing but a punch. And when Mr. Igoe" announced his decision he prefaced it with these word, "I'm going to put on a football helmet to offset the brickbats. Well we have just thrown a few, and we hope your helmet will not weaken. P. A. L.

Several weeks ago McVey visited the office of the commission and tried to tie a challenge to the case. He informed that George Courtney of Oklahoma was recognized as challenger, and if Walker failed to agree, it would be a time, which has expired, they would make Courtney take him on and the winner be recognized as a holder title. He matched the Garden, broached the match for the commission, and they apparently have lost interest in McVey, a Harlem boy, since the court did not either fight Jack or be suspended.

Girl We Have Had Companionate Marriages For Ages Only We Have Not Been Honest Enough To Admit It. She Says BY PALESTINE WELLS The recent marriage of Miss Josephine Haldeman-Julius to Aubrey Roselle, has brought forth nationwide publicity and comment, because this union differs from the common garden variety in that it is companionate, and the articles on this marriage and disposed of the matter with a grunt of disapproval or with a nod of approval and let it go at that. Perhaps that was enough for the marriage of boy and girl, and nothing more for your life. However, the companionate marriage—w worthy of a moment's thoughtful consideration. There are sound arguments for and against this new idea in marriage. Some look upon it to the male union, while others with horror, seeing in it only a debaement of holy marmimy — a vicious thing threatening to destroy the significance of the marriage tie and annihilate the family of the best thunks in an affair. We have voiced opinions on the pros and the con about equally divided and much to my surprise I found myself voting with the pros. The Ideal Marriage Let me say at the outset that I am convinced that the ideal marriage is one in which the couple together build a home—the woman at home her part—the man supporting that name. I am old-fashioned enough to imagine marriage for myself. I am modern enough to see the possibilities that companion marriage offers to those who can not start in the accom- It is true to say that marriage is the most significant institution in society. However the charm-increase in divorces and the spotlight-up among women that theories for our attention are being constantly brought to our attention. We are hoping to make marriage more conducive to human happiness. companionate marriage has this end in view. If, we should understand not an end but means For those who are able in always to assume the responsibility of marriage I do not highly approve companionate marriage, vast possibilities for good. I might add to the young people those who I marriage a physical necessity but a financial impossibility. A crowd of women I know can tie in with I think of them—some passionate, joyous. Life is so delicately so subtly intoxicating! Before one realizes, one swaps along with the tide. The dignity the little ones need to sparkle, sparkling waters used to be only fine short assumes the aspect of grim tragedy. One does not mean to do wrong. One only answered the husky, voice of life if it was the ethics, politics, and threats, the age old impulse is still unshackled after millions of years. Can't Steal Love One can somehow pardon the starving man who steals a bottle of milk, or a loaf of bread, but those who steal a bit o' love and get caught, can hope for little money. He doesn't care little love. He hasn't finished school, he has no money, head but it's a taught proposition to your your heart. A fellow can teach that he gets better, next year, next year, but you'll tell your heart that. Love demands fullfillment now. It is splendid if he is brave enough to wait most of us are afraid. He will hope to marry the Marys but meanwhile the body with love from a Mary who is not quite so dear and so nice. Later when the pile is made, when school is finished and one can go now to marry the Marys and please the body from his fellows. I need go no further with that. You understand. What a difference it would make if they could have their love when it first awakens. They then always come together sometimes makes adjust- clerery. One takes his love without benefit of clerery. Since one can no longer be 'good' one is careful. I am greatly the opinion that companionate marriage would clear up these Merely Legal Means One objection to companionate marriage is that it is merely a legal means for satisfying the passions. Even granting that this is true, it better to have the sanction of the law and cease than not to do so of the made-in-law marriages are based purely on desire. It is not a question of the kind of marriage but the kind of people. Another objection is that the couple set out with the expressed intention of parenthood. Here again, call attention to the whether the man and the woman determine whether there shall be children and when. Berenge the selfish were finding and infiltrating means of birth control. We as there are people who want children. On the other hand people who want children will have them regardless of the kind of marriage. *Honesty* One beautiful thing about companionate marriage is its honesty and will be publicly admired that they want each other and satisfy their desires. Much as we hate to admit it, secret as we like to keep it a whole lot of folks have felt the some way about it. We've had companionate marriages for ages except that we didn't call them anything. Nobody knew the man and woman involved, and the suspicious gossips. Seems to me we ought to look upon this companionate as a step forward in morals if Pal Marriage Pal marriage is not an end. Its stammerchest supporters see it as a means to an end. The ultimate aim of all marriage reformers is to men and women to together happily, rearing citizens. nearest. We must remember that people differ. Neither commanionate marriage nor regulation marriage will fit every cast or rather every individual. We must reach the place where we are most tolerant of the love faith of individuals as of their religious faith. We must live his own life? choosing his own way, doing as suits him as long as not interfere with the happiness and comfort of another. Safe Stairways Falls from stairways are responsible for a considerable proportion of the claims paid by insurance companies. Such accidents are rarely serious and sometimes While there are many of them are clearly preventable if conditions conducive to accidents are remedied. Constructing stairways having narrow treads, high risers and at turns, and no hand-rails, to the likelihood of falls. Doors that open onto inclosed stairways offer hazards that should be reduced by either installing electric switches in such a manner that opening door will cause a fall, or by automatically stretching a chain across the door way to indicate that an unusual condition is present. Waxed stairs and landings slippery floors or surfaces on the top of stairways, are liable to falls, and worn stair-carpets, or those that are wrinkled. The use of the steps as a place of storage for the greatest variety of objects should be discarded, together with lack of illumination. This condition uses more serious accidents than other hazards. If small children are near, all open stairways should have gates at the top, and doors should always be closed at the top of inclosed stairways. The latter should always have a catch or lock set at a level too high for such children to climb. The possibility of small objects being left on the stairs by children, which will roll or slide when stepped upon. Why Aren't Oysters Eaten In Summer? There are two reasons why oysters are not generally R in the name. Although oysters are edible at all times of the year, immediately after spawning they are poor in quality, flavor and actual physical condition. But the main reason is that they are not the most durable during the summer is the fact that most shells these mollusks during the spawning season. Call VE rnon 6016 Woman's Viewpoint Back Again By LILIAN LOTTIER I am feeling especially pleased and just a wee bit puffed up these days. "There's a reason." In fact, there are several. Here is one. It comes from the very "best" round world. Writes she from Germantown: "Say, are you writing for the Afro or not? If not, do not tell me. for I have other friends in the town at ten o'clock at night to buy the paper, and couldn't find a word from you in it." From Youngstown, Ohio, comes this message: "I miss you. You were a great teacher. Have you stopped writing along for them?" A facetious friend in Washington sends this nonsense letter. Absent, And Unaccounted-For "Woman's Viewpoint": column was swell, And all received it quite well. "Till it struck a vamp. At least it struck a vamp. Now, there's space in the Afro to sell." Isn't that delicious? Of course, not by the wildest stretch of a lively imagination can call my friend a vamp. My poetry itself could not possibly mean as much to me as those five crazy lines. "Pleased Or Puffed Up" These are three lessons I am feeling, poetry and puffed up." There are many more spoken ones. I have honestly been surprised at the number of my friends who have asked me why I have "stopped writing-for" the author and have told me that "missed" articles. Such delightful fattery would be accepted to a seasoned, experienced, "sure—nough" writer, but I am not sure. I am but a "would-be" writer, am wearing a broad grin and a slightly larger hat. It is decidedly pleasant to know that there are those who read the articles I write from time to time. As it happens, dear interested ones, I have not "stopped writing for the Afo." I have, I least, not been told politely but firmly that my "services are no longer required." The blow may fall at any day, but up to the present time the management has been generous and forbearant. The Truth If you want the truth about the matter, I sincerely hope the management will continue to be generous and forbearing for quite some time, and I will be very happy to see that you can stay right in one little room and send his thoughts, feelings, and reactions to just hundreds and hundreds of persons he will never see or know. You remember the magic carpet of your children's fairy tales upon which one could seat one's self and float away to far-away lands? Well, newspapers, books, and magazines are the things that carry our thoughts and carry them here, there, and everywhere, north, east, south, and west, and even across the ocean. Into all kinds of hearts and minds and minds we carry our thoughts and carry them here, wonderful, the sheer magic, 12? When we take time really to THINK about it, this modern world is every bit as marvelous and thrilling as the fairy tale world of our childhood and the fore-shadowings of the great material achievements of to-day, the spiritual ideas of actual facts. Every day in many ways we pull out stories from our own lives and magicians of romance. We rub our Aladdins lamps and wonderful things happen. Thrills So it is that it thrills me to know that I too can sit in my room and send out my thoughts to hundreds of human beings that I cannot see and hear. I am a woman that I do know and that fact puts an extra touch to the thrill. A friend here, a friend there; a young man or a young woman who I used to teach as boy and girl; an older man or an older woman who used to know me; a woman who loved me and long family loyalty and blindness believe that my articles are the most important things in the Afro—and they are to them, bless their darling hearts—all such folks put a heart-warming joy in my thrill which means much for which no amount of money could compensate. Sense Of Responsibility With the thrill, however, there is also a very real sense of responsibility. I feel that I owe my readers the very best that is within me, and that I should strive hard to make that best increasingly better. I feel that I want to pass on to those who are interested enough to listen the safest, sanest, most constructive thoughts of which I am capable. It is my sincere ambition to be a humble member of that class of the Afro's contributors who strike the higher, more dignified, more worthwhile notes. I want to do just a wee bit toward helping to educate the public taste of my own group above the coarse, the vulgar, the sordid, the purely sensational. That is why I hope the Afro management will continue to be generous and forbearing. I believe I can do this to a certain extent thru its pages, for I believe this is also its aim. Oh, yes, I know. There are plenty of things about the Afro you don't like, and don't like, and THE MANAGEMENT DOESN'T LIKE. But, you can't educate a whole race of people in a day, a month, a year, a generation, or even a century. IT TAKES TIME. ALSO, NEWSPAPERS CATER TO ALL SORTS OF TASTES AND INTELLIGENCES. That means a very mixed journalistic diet in the newspapers, vaping the sensational and the constructive. Here is a pretty good way to judge a newspaper fairly. WATCH IT TREND. See if from year to year it slowly but unmistakably changes for the better. It is more the good, a little less the sordid and more of the elevating, a little less of the sensational and more of the constructive. That's your test. When you read this, Not as rapidly, perhaps, as some of us would like; not as rapidly as the management would like. But, on the whole, I do feel it is doing it as fast as the masses of folks will permit. Some very splendid features we can add. One has six wives—wives to the肩膀 the level-headed, the above-the-average classes. They are indeed an "education" in themselves. Nudity And, there isn't QUITE as 'much nudity. Just don't you get tired of nearly-bare bodies? Nudity and nausea. Of course, there is still some nudity. Of course, there are some ones, as you know, there are just oodles and oodles of folks who don't like anything else, just haven't developed any higher. The same kind of folks who date on smutty jokes, and who just swallow in sex. Their patient as long as there are signs of improvement. Some day we will have a newspaper so firmly established and on such a sound, independent financial basis that it won't have to cater to any but the best. Here's hoping you will do for me. I shall try not too busy to do my work from time to time as long as I am permitted. BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE NO WOMAN UGLY No woman is ugly who chooses to be fair. Beauty of disposition is ninety percent of charm in the workplace and in the industry. Perhaps you are the so called ugly girl with harsh dark skin and a down turned mouth, but you can be friendly to smile, turn up the lip and be kind-think hopefully and expect things of life—as for your dark skin—try this: heals the skin, removes the outer rough and darkened skin—after a week or two your face will be as it was or should have been when you were tiny. Now you can be beautiful and have vanities that hold one admirer before the glass—Caution—DON'T BE VAIN. Can Snakes Poison Themselves Snakes are immune to their own poison when it is swallowed. Most poisonous snakes kill animals and birds for food by striking them with their venom-infecting fangs. Whether venom is injected into their blood, is injected into their blood, is not certain. Raymond Ditmars, the well-known authority on reptiles, says that snakes are quite immune from venom. They are not immune to injected into their blood. On the other hand, the U. S. Biological Survey states that rattlesnakes are susceptible to their own poison and may cause death by biting themselves. The survey also finds that venom injected into the fangs in such cases may puncture the spinal nerve or some vital organ, and that death, therefore, is not invariably due to the poison. Snakes can be bitten to bite their own except when severely injured or injured in a unable to wreak oxygen on their tormentors. To The Pacific Coast And Back Again By JOSEPH N. HILL Start on a trip across the United States, realizing that you have nearly twelve thousand miles to travel, and you will suddenly catch the spirit of adventure which links you to that group and learn learned to love the country and to love nature. America can offer an endless variety of scenery. In fact, she can offer what no other single country can offer. There are lakes, rivers, falls or even oceans; land in the form of fruitful valleys, shady glens, green tablelands, all these things, added to mountains towering thousands of feet above sea level, combine to make this country the theatre of natural beauty. We had but a faint idea of the many things that awaited us as we left Baltimore and Washington behind. Glad to be on our way we yet had a little misgiving over leaving well-known persons and making our way up Fifteen Mountains. We were hardly more than sixty miles away before we were passing through the fertile Middletown and Cumberland valleys of Maryland. Fifteen times, we ascended the Appalachian Mountains, altitudes of from 2,000 to 2,900 feet above sea level. We passed with rapidity from Maryland, through Pennsylvania and West Virginia into Ohio. Our route, known as the National Old Trails, barely touched these mountains, and we were on our way toward the golden West. As for the «eople» we found that they followed the same occupations that most of us followed. They were men, and they were mune workers, while still others refused to be classified. Negroes were not numerous, and often seemed to be filling the mental positions. At times, they were the most significant in the world of great economic factors. At Wilberforce A few more miles into Ohio and we were at Wil伯力森 University. Unquestionably here is an institution that should be great. A best place to study in, and a desirable support, from the state of Ohio, a large student enrollment and all this in the hands of somebody who insists on squabbling, firing and mismanagement. It is quite striking to see a great raving divine the state-side from the church-side. Striking because I am not altogether certain that the church side is not still raving. We tarried in Wilberforce just long enough to get our two additional companions of the trip, then we made a continuous trip through Indianapolis, where we met a couple of our youths and with another addition to the Poro College enterprises. By the way, there is a People's Finance Corporation in St. Louis, Mo, that is doing a great job. Washington have not yet dreamed of doing. They handle loans of various descriptions and handle them speedily, efficiently and apparently safely. St. Louis St. Louis gave us a chance to see some evidence of the disastrous Mississippi flood we entered. We would not dare leave the city, however, without visiting it. We had a distinct credit to the race. Well equipped, beautifully appointed, quietly and perfectly managed and oh—how clean and comfortable. Madame Malone is now helping to care for those who have been affected by the flood. Educationally we were profoundly impressed with the Jefferson Memorial and the Lindbergh Collection. Forest Park, with its interesting zoo and its perfectly poised stadium, is enthralled by the almost constructed by nature, added to these impressions. Kansas City. Before long we were leaving the extremely progressive and hospitable port of Kansas we were waiting for actually facing the true West. Not until you have left the good road behind and have faced the possibility of getting stuck in the mud roads of Kansas or of being almost imbedded in the mud. We were that you have tasted the real tourist fare of the middle West. We spent our first uncomfortable night of the trip in the hovel of a good-hearted felt being in the little town of Ouley, Kansas We went to order to reach Denver by nom of the next day. Denver And The Rockies Here we had our first sight of the Rockies. It was actually a *thrill*, such as I shall never forget. Massive peaks that seem to mingle with the sky and share heaven's confidence. Some ranges appeared green, some blue, some awed by the sun. Many snowy peaks anglued into the sun's rays when all the earth beneath them was taking on the so sibriety of night. Denver, the gateway to the Rockies, the city of sparkling clear mountain water, of delicious mountain trout, the introduces you to a new section of the United States and the world. At last we were in the West. Colorado has forty six mountains that reach a height of 14,000 feet or above. We must have seen most of these peaks, for we climbed to the tops of mountains, descended to the bottoms, and cooled to boils, skirted the surrounding country for several days. This is the scenic state of America. For two days we drove almost continually in second gear, climbing or descending the process was slow but painful. Men who spend most of their time in cities learn to hate cities if they ever travel. The Home Of Indians Colorado Springs. Florence. Mount of the Holy Cross all came into view as if summoned some magic power. Cliff dwellings, homes from which Indians were driven hundreds of years ago, butte rising suddenly from the plains, plateaus and every conceivable type of terrain would ever leave this section. We finally tore ourselves away from Colorado passed through the poor Indian reservations of New Mexico, drove for seventy miles with our seeking army, stopped for the night at Gallup, New Mexico. Prejudice? Prelude? Not so much as we had left in Baltimore and Washington. Yes, even Arizona was kind—no I should be. I was a member of the memorandum book. We saw more Mexicans, half-breeds and Indians in New Mexico than any other nationality. In Arizona we had members of our own race, who opened their doors from the genuine friendliness of people who know no cast, who know no discrimination within the race, who know no discrimination among the people who could not but pause to make comparisons with the folk back East. In Desert Arizona Arizona gave us our first desert experiences. She also gave us two mild sand storms. But chiefly among her gifts were the ninted Desert, the Petrified Forest and the Colorado. A tremendous cavity in the earth, reached suddenly and without any warnin' a chasm 217 miles lone and from 12 to 15 miles wide. There is nothing in the desert that can be seen on the several wonders of the world. Giantic and still, the canyon forces you into silence and comels you to worship nature. I dare say that I felt more spiritual fervor on the brink of the Grand Canyon together. Miss the Grand Canyon and you will be sent back from heaven to see the wonders prepared for man here on earth. California Several hundred miles took us from Arizona, across the Mojave Desert and let us rest in sunny California. Arain we enjoyed, a rainbow of imaginable type of flowers. fruit growers by the acre, paints waving in the winds, manic trees alternate with flowers, mimicking interminal lanes of Christmas trees—a veritable paradise on earth. Drive from the mountains to the desert in a few minutes, or if you prefer, to go to the Pacific ocean, or step out to the desert in a few minutes, if your taste runs in that direction, drive down millionaires' row in beautiful Pasadena. Ask what you will and it will be given unto you. Visit the poor, visit the McPherson temple, visit the Nevo churches or the Nevo business firms, visit the thousands of Movie houses and theaters, visit the Mary Pickford or Charles Chaplin, Hollywood. Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara Mission, all the things you read about and dream of, when you know that you must keep moving in order to return to the East aain. Yozemite Valley But before we started eastward we had gone to Yosemite National Park, had seen the walls of granite rises peripherally from the peace zone in Oregon, into Seattle, Washington, and even into Vancouver and Victoria. British Columbia. Surely we began to retreat our ports to Port-au-Prince.

We had followed the life-giving trail through the Sixton Banks and the American Falls of Idaho, and had landed in the park of parks—Yellowstone. Geysers Geysers, beautiful, sprite-like in their actions, playful in their eruptions, boiling pots of mud that in appearance and stench remained one of man's imaginations about the earth, but they could be compiled, but there is not room enough here. Coolidge visited the park while we were there, seven hundred bears also called to see the tourists occasionally. The Falls and the Canyon surpass all. Pressing eastward still, we left Yellowstone, left the great Shoshoni dam just outside the east entrance to the park, left hell's half acre in Wyoming, and drove through the Wind River River in Missouri and retraced our steps homeward. We met many former Baltimore and Washington people in the West. We noticed greater business activity among the people of the race. We were more honest. The enterprises are new and are therefore proof of an added progressive movement among the people. Undoubtedly, the people are inclined to be more friendly, this can be seen in the performance of the forces forced into friendliness by the loneliness and by the experiences of travel.

ADJUDGED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-26 Saturday, Dec. 10, 1927 Week's Recipes California Special To the juice from a can of white cherries add enough water to make a pint. Heat to boiling point and dissolve a package of lemon flavored gelatin in it. When it begins to melt, pour half of white cherries, half a cup of nutmets, half a cup of celery. Serve with mayonnaise. Cream Of Celery Soup Separate stalks of celery. Use outside stalks for making for making soup. Scrape off brown spots, wash, then cut in small pieces. Allow two cups of water to one cup of cut celery. Allow until celery is is brown. Add this mixture (using water in which celery was cooked) to two cups thin cream sauce. Season and serve hot. A medium cream sauce calls for 1 cup milk; 2 tbs. flour; 2 tbs. butter; 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Melt the cream in a bowl and stir four seasons. Mix gradually and stir to avoid bumps. Use double boiler, if possible. Cook 15-20 minutes to improve flavor. Mix grated orange rind with fruit juices and let stand 15 minutes. Strain into beaten egg yolks and add enough sifted confectioners' sugar to spread. Aunt Ann's Drop Cakes 1 c. sour cream 1 c. sugar 1 egg 15 tsp. soda 15 tsp. salt 15 tsp. vanilla Flour enough to make stiff batter. Mix all the ingredients together and drop from a spoon into a baking sheet. Pinoche 2 cups light brown sugar Boll first three ingredients until a soft ball can be formed in cold water. Remove from frys, cover and cool. Add the water and candy until it begins to thicken. Add nuts and pour the mixture into a well-buttered pan. Baking Powder Orange Rolls Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Work in shortening. Add 1 tablepoon grated orange rind and in addition many cubes of loaf sugar as there are biscuits with orange juice. Put between biscuits. Spread tops with powdered sugar moistened with orange juice. Bake for 40 (400 degrees) 15 minutes. **1 tsp paprika** **1 tsp bacon** **1 tsp milk** Add cheese, salt, parikka and mustard to the hot cream sauce (1 c. milk, 1 tsp. butter, 1 tsp. flour). Stir constantly until the cheese is soft. It is better to mix the boiler and oven from sieve while adding cheese. (Do not allow the water to boil). If a low temperature is maintained after the cheese is added it will not become stringy. One or two spoons of cheese sauce may be added, or half a cup of chopped olive. Serve at once on hot buttered toast or crackers. Modern Etiquette Q. Is it polite to finish a conversation while holding a forkful of food poised in the air? A.

A&P ESTABLISHED 1859 Del Monte Home Education OLD-FASHIONED WAYS Stella E. Fulton "When Grandma comes, I hope she won't upset Betty's training. She's so old-fashioned. The afraid she will want to interfere with the children, but she will make important, impossible things to eat." Mrs. Treadwell had said when the vigorous old lady had announced her intention of making a visit. But, on her ordinary Grandma had no success, to make regarding Betty-Betty was fcalled about her food, restless and impatient, bursting into tears at slight provocation and altogether too pale and languid. Betty lived in a household of grown-ups. Grandpa Joyce movies and plays in her afternoon. Cousin Mary danced on fliffon bonnets and white broaccloth coatings, father brought home a pair of real kid gloves, just to see her eyes shine, and a doll so fragrant and delicately arrayed, that someone had to be so careful not to soil it. Mother took her on her shopping proud of the attention she received in the store. And still Grandma said nothing. Until one day young Mrs. Treadwell remarked, "I don't see how mothers in your day ever succeeded in raising their families. They paid so little attention." Grandma must have been slightly ruffled for she repaired. "We weren't perhaps as careful of the food that went into their stomachs as you are, but they were more part of the food we gave their parts. Maybe did give them too much space in their virtuals, but not so much in their amusement. We didn't dash in a lot of excitement on the top of a full day. We take them about two hours to overstimulate them. You say you don't want Betty to get a taste for highly seasoned food. Mell, our children didn't get such a taste for excitement that they couldn't enjoy it home, reading. Excertainties arouse them. More excitement, just as the condiments you worry so about, cause a desire for more condiments. You say certain foods are a burden to a child's delicate stomach. We made playful suggestions that child ought not to be pestered about taking care of a fragile toy. If Betty were my child I put away that fancy doll until she were older. A simpler one would be better for her now. A simpler one would be better for her now. But her clothes are more fit for a vigorous child than that rich pudding you refused her last night. They belong to her future. "Our children were not always fed wisely, but perhaps they survived it all because they didn't have too much food. They were more napping about non-essentials, fussy clothes, elaborate toys or constant stimulation." "But what can a mother do in this modern world? We can'n't live as you did then," said the mother. "You can as far as the essentials go. Just as you choose for her simple food out of all that is on the table, you can choose for her child's companionship she so much needs." The Household Scrapbook How To Make A Moth Paper A good moth paper can be made by melting together 4 ounces of naphthalene and 8 ounces of paraffin wax. Get some unsized paper and the solvent to mix the paint on the paper. Then pack paper away with the goods to be stored. **Group** For quick relief give the child inhalations of steam. It is also well to cause vomiting by giving 20 drops of syrup of ipecac every 13 minutes for 3 or 4 doses. If this is not effective, run the finger down the throat as far as possible to produce vomiting **Pastry** Butter can be omitted from the pastry by adding 4 ounces of saline oil with water to each pound of flour, and stirring it thoroughly into the paste. Cause Of Falling Hair All of the many causes of falling hair can be traced back to one—deficient blood circulation by the scalp. This may be due to weak heart brought on by ill health, late hours, loss of sleep lack of exercise etc., which lower stature, cording etc. So, the lower stature is a symptom of lower vitality. Restore the tone and vigor of the body, he says, and the hair will stop falling out. Saturday, Dec. 10, 1927 NEW JERSEY Atlantic City, N. J.

S. Employers Should Hold Out Hope Of Promotion And Advance WASHINGTON, D. C.—"It is but fair and just to give the Negro worker an equal wage for his labor, and the permanent hope for promotion and advancement commensurate with the training, efficiency and skill which he puts into his labor," says Secretary Jas. J. Davis in the Fifteenth Annual Report of the Secretary of Labor to Congress. He emphasizes at the same time his conviction that the workers of the Negro are indissolubly a part of those of all the American people." The full text of the reference of the Negro in industry appears in the following paragraphs: "In the sense of absolute justice to all people living in America. Press "The social well-being of our country requires our constant effort for the amusement of the extent to all elements of equal opportunity and equal protection under the laws which are guaranteed by the Constitution." Nation assuming de duties of directing the Federal Department of Labor in its work in behalf of the Nation's wage-earners. I said: "No Segregation." There are duties as segregating the economics of the Negro from those of any other group in America." At this time I am firmly convinced of the industrial and economic interests of the Negro are indispassibly a part of those of all the American people. Our Constitution so decrees it; and our constitution, Nation's constitution, among the powers of justice of the world forbid that any group within our keeping should be denied the full freedom of democratic government, opportunity, creed, or conditions of servitude. "The Negro in America has made his way as a citizen, a soldier, and in worker. During the 19th century in industry and agriculture, and among the Nation's gainfully employed people, he has gone forward in satisfaction, self-esteem, and enriched the enrichment of America. His continue progress will be an industrial asset of value to all the people. Laws that allow the Negro to work as an employer and employer to encourage the Negro group to continue its advancement in home life in education, and in its respect for and loyalty to. American practice Equal Wage "This means that it will be but pain and hustion to give the Negro worker an equal wage for his labor in the business promotion and advancement commensurate with the he puts into his labor. He becomes capable of contributing a great toward increasing our prosperity and wealth as a Nation. "He will become a larger American protector, knowing beyond the opportunities of life, rather than a poorly-paid competitor, unable to purchase common comforts the comforts of life, increase his business and create an increased demand and supply.

Apparently, that drive, those of the PoCAhontas, may have for the first million relative debt, for the Morgan College constitute a problem. Here in the land of cheap coal and dear food and clothing a man's family may have to pay for the modern hospital for a year for the small sum of two dollars a month. Like the Chinese, preparedness for ill health is the rule. PoCAhontas miners for the coal companies have paid about $1.50 monthly as dispensary fees. Usually, they got their money with the meacles, wife needing an operation or the old man got his leg broken, it was all the same. There were ambulance service doctors and nurses, who matter so much whether he was a wick or a year, he had paid his $18 and expected treatment. Cases requiring a hospital's care were sent to the hospital at Welch, W. Va. a special hospital. Now it is different. White Baltimoreans and others must hand over from $7.00 a week to $7.50 a day for hospital attention. For companies beds the poor miner and his family struggle under a total medical bill of $4.00 a month up, depending upon number of patients in the family work. Should he die from illness or accident his heirs get $1,000 from a free policy, a house to live in and sometimes a pension. The company's workers living nearest Welch go there for treatment. Those nearest Bluefield, W. Va., go to the Lomax Hospital, a 50 bed race institution. Jobs Are Plent Says Hopki Salisbury, North Carolina Und Says Wages Are Low On F Jobs Are Plentiful In South Says Hopkins Patient Salisbury, North Carolina Undertaker, Here For Treatment Says Wages Are Low On Farms, Good In Shops. While wages are low and working conditions not up to the highest standard, there is plenty of work in the Southland, declared James A. Noble, prominent, Salisbury, N.C. Undertaker, guest at the Penn Hotel and patient in Johns Hopkins, to an AFRO-AMERICAN reporter, Friday. Mr. Noble, who says he has heard more of lack of work and hard times since he has been in Baltimore than he has heard for a long time down South, attributes the labor situation to the migration which has taken place. Especially in the farming district where they are gathering cotton and other crops there is an actual scarcity of labor, while in the city shops any laborer who applies is being put to work. ROSENWALD FUND TURNS DOWN W. VA. Too Many States Where Need Is Greater State Supervisor Reports STORER COLLEGE URGED AS STATE INSTITUTION Professional Courses Recommended At W. Va. Institute CHARLESTON, W. Va.—The Julius Roosewald Foundation declined to render assistance in building colored school houses Wages are low on the farms, he declares, but the relative low community prices make the average wage more favourable with higher wages being paid in some sections of the country. He fields the average wages run as low as $1.25 per day and for this reason most of the men are leaving the field work for the city shops. The Southern Railroad shops in Saskatoon employ 700 additional employed in the freight yards. **Investment Time Ripe** Mr. Noble thinks southern land offers the best realty investment in the country for long distance real estate. The factors have brought southern land to its lowest prices in years. The pendulum is bound to swing back. A few thousand dollars invested in the South now, he said, should double itself during the next ten years. Further information may be obtained by contacting C.

Lomax now plans a new building for next year. His nature, partly composed of a tendency toward whining, is just the same here. While Baltimoreare are half enthusiastic about their pro- gress, half whining about hardships; the folk here are split on the question of keeping well families of four to 14 on $5 a year. HOWARD MAN TRUMPHS He is good one here about Dr. C. H. Welch, a Howard University man, who began practice here a few months ago. Leaving practice after graduation, he came here to try his hand among the 1,000 race people who were ministered to almost wholly by company doc- sors. He was no race doctor in several years. Here was the old Dr. John P. Haller, white, a skilled physician, who had served nearly 30 years and brought up a son in the profession. He was a black, that he could do nothing for them, he sent them away. Many of them came to Dr. Welch for treatment, and he was a large clientele of both races. The white physician's practice caused him to be discharged after a score and a call. Being out of school a shorter time than the white team, Drs. Stump and Alexander, which succeeded the outstretched goal, called into consultation. Cooperative work is done in many cases. Thus, the old timers here chuckle, the young Howard put it over on one the Nordics with years of experience. ROSENWALD FUND TURNS DOWN W. VA Too Many States Where Need Is Greater State Supervisor Reports STORER COLLEGE URGED AS STATE INSTITUTION Professional Courses Recommended At W. Va. Institute CHARLESTON, W. Va.—The Junie Rosenwald Foundation declined to allow assistance in building colored school houses in West Virginia. This the announcement of William W. Osseman, state superintendent of schools in his biennial report to the W. Va. state superintendent of education. Mr. Osseman included a letter from the director of the Rosenwald Fund stating that there were so many states with larger Negro population in West Virginia, which states were unable to provide adequate facilities for colored children, that the foundation may offer no assistance to West Virginia. Mr. Saunders reported 416 school buildings in the state of which 355 are built for school children. Only a few of the buildings are of substantial character and the rented buildings, are mostly of residential construction and heated and have unsanitary surroundings. Playgrounds are rare and seating is inadequate. Many rooms and dwellings house that have been improved for the purpose. Supervision State school supervisors have very little class room supervision. The teacher who frequently is inexperienced, is left to flounder her way through school. Poorly managed daily programs. She is provided no nonlibrary and receives no helpful suggestions except infrequent institutes, help as she may receive from summer school. Teachers There are 827 teachers in the elementary and high schools the state has of which 13 hold first grade certificates ranging from first grade elementary to high school certifi- There is a pretty general sentiment for the equalization of teaching and learning, but there are still a few communities in which colored teachers are discriminated against in the payment of salaries. Enrollment Six hundred sixty-five persons are enrolled in evening schools in the elementary schools; 1,548 students in the high schools; 560 in secondary departments of colleges and normal schools including West Virginia Institute in Bluefield institute and Storer College. High Schools There are three schools in the first class and eight in the second and two in the third. Average pay for teachers in normal schools and colleges is $12,000. Recruited Storer As. State School Because of the fact that Storer College at Harper's Ferry, has only a small endowment and receives a small percentage of the money, Mr. Saunders recommends that this institution be taken over by the state. Bluefield Institute The Bluefield Institute be equipped to offer courses in trades and industry. The V. A. Coleague Institute has recent friends that West Virginia Collegiate Institute equipped to provide professional courses of law, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. This college has recently opened a new administration building and boys' formatory. The report recomm- ders also a gymnasium, a science hall and a new home for the presi- dent.

There are thousands of everyday occurrences, odd happenings, etc., for which newspapers and magazines would be glad to pay, if some with the trained journalistic eye, would write them up. THE AFRO-AMERICAN FEATURE BUREAU will attempt to train a number of such young men and women in various sections of the country. They will have an opportunity to join a nation-wide news gathering organization, which will sell their output in proportion as they become efficient and will have the personal guidance and supervision of William N.

GOOD MORNING JUDGE Half Pint Costs $125 Plus A man can never tell what his liquor may cost him now. Engaged in a fight over a half pint of before or after Volstead liquor, five men were locked up in Western Police and were told that the Bible story of dividing so little among so many apparently did not appeal to them, hence the fraacs. The men gave their names as William Skinner, Curtis Bay, Henderson and John Sutton, 729 W. Fairmount avenue; Ebenezer Brooks, 721 W. Pfarr street; and John Sutton, 718 W. Fairmount avenue. After telling their little story the Magistrate decided upon $25 for each person sidering the purchase price, no one will ever know the total cost of that half pint. A shrill scream pierced the Saturday night air and murder instantly. Hashed before the brain of politically insignificant Hopkins street at Pennsylvania avenue. No, not that. Blear-eyed Louis Wheeler. 719 Eden street, came down the street, and was exasperated by his desire to reside at the "Cut" this winter. "You want to go to the "Cut," queried the judge in the courtroom, "How come?" "Well, your Honor," the now sober Wheeler said. "I did think so before being arrested, but when the cell I changed my mind." "All cells don't have reminders," said the administrator of the law, "one dollar and costs." Bank Robbed; President Fined Going to sleep and leaving unguarded. First National Bank, (stocking) may result in the loss of the money, and fines for not having proper evidence against the conscientious criminal. Ask Mrs. Well, it seems that James Barnes, 363 Prost street, was a Saturday night caller at Mrs. Carrs' home up in the city, and evidently O. K. with her for, as she told the magistrate, she fell asleep and awakened to find him and SS missing. After seeing Barnes at the bank, she right approached officers saving that the bank had been tapped again. The blue coated men then gave her a cell in the same building on charges of disorderly behavior. Sunday morning when she said "I suspect" instead of "I saw" in her testimony.

A Rare Opportunity To Get Cocktails-Poker-White House Features Under Harding NEW YORK.-The prohibition law didn't apply to the White House during the Harding administration according to Colonel Charles E. Forbes, white, a former director of the U.S. War Hisk Bureau and recently released from Atlanta penitentiary where he served a term for fraud. Colonel Forbes' statement given exclusively to the World War II survivors of the White House as it was under the Harding administration. He describes a poker party held in the library of the White House in which Will Hayes, Albert Lake, Harry McLaugherty, Edward McLean, McLaugherty and Mrs. Harding, together with the president sat in. Colonel Forbes said he won $397 and Will Hayes won and that the losers all paid promptly. The president was a good player, Forbes said. "He had a feeling for cards and sat in numerous games at the White House, McLean home and on May Flower. In addition to those he mentioned above, he named others who sometimes played in the White House games as Senator Harry New, now postmaster general; Senator Hyssen, of New Jersey; Senator Fred Hale, of Maine; and General Sawyer, of Pennsylvania; and General Charles G. Dawes. It was during one of the poker parties at the White House. Forbes declared, that Ned McLean announced that Jack Johnson, the prize fighter, was to be discharged from the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth and either Ned or Albert Lasker exclaimed. "Why his old mother used to work for me and he has a fine of $1,000 hanging over him and can't pay it." Ned McLean said, "Albert, I'll give $500 and you give $500 and we'll pay his fine." The president spoke up. "Don't let that worry you. I'll remit the fine," and the game went on. Major Brooks' Cocktails On another occasion when Colonel Forbes went to the White House, he quotes Mrs. Harding as coming up to him and saying, "Brooks" referring to Major Brooks, the President's valet, "mixing the colonel a cocktail." Brooks, said Colonel Forbes, was famous for his cocktails. The President came up and joined them. The White House not only violated the Prohibition law, but also the law which forbids the transportation of prizefight films from one Colonel Forbes tells how the Dempsey-Carpenter pictures were shown at the White House before the President $5,000 In Liquor Colonel Forbes also tells about the James Darden $5,000 in prize toward the White House campaign, to the said, was turned over to Dr. Sawyer to purchase $5,000 worth of whiskey and he is in Dr. Sawyer and he is Santarini at the Marlboro Club and at Harding residence. Whenewher the supply ran low at the Harding residence, Colonel Forbes said, was renamed from one $4 the He said the $50,000 worth of whisky was far from sufficient to quench the thirst of the office seer who descended upon Marion. In the trading home it was kept in the bottom section of the sideboard in the dining room and probably plains why Harding before he was president, held so many front porch parties.

He quoted Victor Hugo, who said that "Africa in the twentieth century will be the most interesting continent of that century," and reinforced that statement with one from Darwin who stated "the transformation of the lesser animals into man happened in Africa." In further support of his thesis, Prof. Hansberry quoted from a book of Dr. Dixon, noted Harvard anthropologist, who says, "If the Scandinavians could trace back their ancestors enough they would find ancestral "golden" and science are in perfect agreement the speaker believes referring to the passage that "Out of one blood come all nations."
