Mental Age 11 Taylor whose case has been investigated by Lieutenant Lawrence Oley, director of the Division of Negro Work, North Carolina State Board of Public Welfare, shows a record of criminality unusual for the time.

Colbert Tells Congregation Pastors who dance and jump around in their pants were scored by Dr. John T. Colbert in his Sunday morning sermon at Grace Presbyterian Church as a disaster. This is a reversion to barbism and heathenism, said Dr. Colbert, and a resort to cheap sensationalism, others attend these services and they should jump up and down too. They call such sensationalized sermons "storious", but if you ask them, they words that the dancer pastor said. Some people give as an excuse for staying away from church that they hear a good sermon, Dr. Colbert said. They go to church without any sermon. If they have to wait for a good sermon they had better remain at home anyway. More men are coming to church in these days than women, Dr. Colbert said. The women are staying to give card parties or getting ready for the next day. Hearty "Attest" calls. Politicians Swing To Lowden-G.O.P. Choice The Week READ "THE WEEK" AND GET A COLLEGE EDUCATION. 1.

Roscoe Simmons In Washington 1. These few lines are written in Washington, Capital of your country. When was Washington settled, and by whom? You know of course for whom it has named. It has a name above all earthly names, bar one. It is a sin and shame that Washington is where it is but Uncle Sam is resigned to his fate and will have to do the best he can in his home town. Get one of the children to give a short sketch of Washington, no more enough to carry on a conversation and unable to talk on Washington, send teacher a note. When teacher gets back from the card game or cabaret, you may re-answer. . . . The National Committee of the G. O. P. met last week. A meeting of the Republican party is as imminent as the convention to a Methodist conference. The G. O. P. gave your children earthly freedom. The Methodist conference and the Baptist convention were eternal joy. Every child should be taught the history of the G. O. P. Did not that party gave that child the right to vote? The public party has deserted us, so many say. No not at all. No party can do more for FREE men they will do for themselves. Is not that truth? This humble writer joined some of your big men in Washington. This one came for one purpose: that one for another, but all came for one Cause. And the arrivals: B. J. Davis, who came to be confirmed as member of the Committee from Georgia in place of the Great Cohen, wisest political figure you have R. R. Church fresh from a victory which was for you though achieved in Memphis; J. H. Nation, great gold and so on; Perry W. Howard, your big man in Washington, was already on the scene. Times Change 2. Get an idea of the changes in this life in the fact that the National Committee has and find no 'nagro' from North Carolina, Texas Virginia, Florida Arkansas, Alabama or South Carolina, even there to look on. That means the people of these states have given up the ghost. You keep up with the dolces of the Committee. In the daily press but the daily press concludes the spirit of the committee. Under that son of New England, William M. Butler, the G. O. P. on its way back to first teachings. It is a long lane that has been closed to a role for you. Two intelligent, charming ladies.

Ladies, you make among the Nation's who mikes barring with woman's smiles and marches through this world. Take a look at Congress. Two United States Senators, Vare, of Pennsylvania and Smith, of Illinois, are fought by democrats, because these gentlemen spare their time, the honor of sitting in the Senate. So it is said. The democrats, the lazy white man's crowd, are mad because Mr. Vare and Mr. Boose are mad because Mr. Vare on an eye on Washington. ALI, your hopes are there. The President Speaks 3. In years to come President Coulledge's speeches will receive more attention than the one how little you think of your president. You are put out with him not so much on account of his lack of experience, Wilson closed and Harding locked but because though from New England he won't open the door.

Presidential Aspirants Lack Appeal To Colored Voter WASHINGTON, D. C. The first trend in political sentiment for candidates for the Republican presidential nomination is toward Governor Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, it was evidenced here last week while the Republican National Committee was in session. Governor Lowden is apparently the first choice because of the lack of appeal of the other candidates. Fear Hoover Politicians fear Secretary of Commerce Hoover because of close affiliations with the administration of the late President Woodrow Wilson, his general attitude in the Mississippi flood disaster, and the extremely friendly interest the Secretary is manifesting in his candidacy. Senators Charles Curtis, of Kansas, and Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, are regarded, as fair as the race, as the most successful, and has succeeded in lining up any of the Negro political leaders with them. In the event that Governor Lowden should withdraw from the race for the nomination, he will be believed that his strength will be inherited by Vice President Charles G. Dawes. Belleve Cal Will Run Three of our colored members of the Republican National Committee cling to the belief that President Colillidge will be drafted. They think that under that circumstance, the candidate will be a candidate for reelection. These members of the committee are Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi, and Benjamin Davis and Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, of Georgia. The fourth colored member of the Republican National Committee will support the candidate, whose cause Vice Chairman Charles G. Hilles, of New York, and Edward Hughes has declared that he is not a candidate and will not accept the nomination if it should be offered to him. Mr. Hilles has been invited. It is believed how that he will go into the Lowden camp. While Mr. Davis is declaring that the statement of President Obama on the National Committee on December 8 adds nothing to announce the findings of the report, *Five-Eye*. Garvey Is Broke NEW YORK CITY—Marcus Garvey, deported provisional president of Africa, is without funds, it was stated in a special message to members and staff of Garvey: "The New York World has just published that I took m (whatsoever this means) $5,000,000, and that I have had my hands on the primary daily day. My rainy day is every day. If I had half a million cents, I would not be personally broke, but what do I care about that, when I possess my character that no one ever saw, my possession from me. H E Tucker, APRO's Jamaica correspondent, says the islands gave Garvey a royal welcome home. Blease Fears Boomerang In Smith-Vare Action WASHINGTON, (A N P)—Cole Blease, U. S.

JUDGE AND SHERIFF USE GUNS IN COURT Judge Threatens To Kill 1st Man Who Lays Hands On Prisoner At Bar Is That Of Ten Year Old Child GOLDSBORO, N. C.—Leaning forward from the bench with a heavy automatic clenched in his right hand, solemnly warning the audience that he would shoot dead the next man who laid his hands on the prisoner, Judge Henry A. Grady, Sunday morning, saved Larry Newsome, 23 years old, from attempted lynching. Three hours later when the jury brought a verdict of guilty the man was sentenced to die Friday, January 13, 1928, for the murder of Beula Tedder, white, 15 year old daughter of a farmer who was found late Tuesday night, with her throat slashed. The Trial A moment before the judge rose up from the bench, pistol in hand, the girl was almost riot when Wm. Tedder, uncle of the dead girl precipitated what was a well-planned attempt to kill her, and lynch him. Beside Tedder stood his brother, and the girl's father and behind them a company of rel- Cry Take Him! With a cry of "Take him! Take him!" the young Tedder grabbed at the frightened man. At this signal he ran, and swept forward. William Tedder had his hand's around Newsome's throat, and as he pulled him out of his seat, he ran back from his body. In the crowd the girl's father was squirring forward with raised hands to get the man. Sheriff To Rescue Like a flash, Sheriff Grant threw himself between the brisoner and the two leaders of the attempted attack. He ran back from Newsome, and the other came up with the pistol. He wiggled thru the crowd and shouted, "stand back!" Sheriff's Gun Roars "Take him," someone cried, and the sheriff's gun noared twice in the crowd. The lynchers began to fall back, and soon the prisoner was safe in the juryroom. Judge Grady Speaks "Gentleman," he said. "I would (Continued on Page Four) CONGR'SS ASKED FOR $390,000 CHEMISTRY BLG.

This amount is provided for this same item for the current year. It will provide for an increase in salary of seven deans from $3,064 a year each to $3,314 a year each. The salaries of four vice deans will remain at $2,550 a year Professors Salaries $1,929 The salaries of forty professors, under these estimates, will be increased from $1,929 a year to $1,860 a year. Fourteen associate professors will be increased to $1,800 a year to $2,036 a year each. A yearly increase in salary from $1,112 each to $1,347 each is provided for thirty-four instructors.

YOUTH WILL NOT FOLLOW JIM CROW CHRISTIANITY YOUTH Can't Follow Jim Crow Can't Follow Jesus Into Jim Crow Church Youth had its day at the Durham they can't work their way through Pact Finding Conference. John C like the male students. They need scholarships." Youth had its day at the Durham Fact Finding Conference. John C Davis, of Fisk University, speaking on the subject, "What Does the Negro Youth Think of the Present Day Leaders?" said among other things. Davis, of Pisk University, speaking on the subject, "What Does the Negro Youth Think of the Present Day Leaders?" said among other things. "Youth can't follow orthodox be lief of Jesus if it means a segregated church; a separate Y. W. and Y. M. C. A." Mr. Davis said that they teach the Bible in some schools but that the do not teach the children how to write a decent business letter. Old Time Religion "You can get the young men into the ministry if you will tell them they will have to accept the old time religion. "It is necessary to make the church a place where you can enter without accepting the old slave way and the primitive theological dogma." "Women are having a hard time in college." Mr. Davis said, "our leaders all too seldom think about it. Baltimore Cited As Example Of Too Much "Good Time" Baltimore Cited As Example Of Too Much "Good Time" Crime and social uplift were discussed at the Finding Conference by Forrester B. School of the Atlanta Law School of Social Work and Lieutenant A. Oxley A. Oxley the Negro Department of Social Welfare at Raleigh. Mr. Washington declared that 75 per cent of the support of social welfare work of this country comes from the whites. "I do not see an increasing desire to see our own folk to support, their agencies." Honist Convention Delegates to the Baptist Convention be declared, reported $3,500,000 spent for church work and $93,000 education. "How much of this went for welfare work?" he declared. "Philadelphia," said Forster Washington. "Spend $20,000 every year in retirement after the year-long Lincoln football game. Thanksgiving and has been trying unsuccessfully for six years to raise $50,000 for the Douglass Hospital to which one white man has already given $20,000 and only a balance of $30,000." Baltimore Is Scored The race gives other people many evidences that it is wealthy. Mr. Washington said, but when it comes down to supporting a community fund, it cited the fact that the Elks' convention spent $20,000 this year in New York on decorations. He cited the fact that both Tiger Fowers and Florence Mills had funeral ceremonies. One doctor who wished to make display, he said, has two car Teachers Dance Detroit, in its community drive, secured only $2,972 in cash. Baltimore out of $11,000 plieded, received only $1,200 in cash. One hundred school teachers out of the many hundred in Baltimore gave less than $300 although ten school teachers gave a dance recently, he said, according to an article in the AFROAMERICA where the supriserie price was $50 each. Two of the wealthiest persons in Baltimore, he said, subscribed only Race Gets Wor Sc Education at the Fact Finding Race Gets Worst Of Public School Tax Funds Conference was discussed by Dr. W. A. Robinson, of the Department of Education, Education Center, Grossey, of State College, Dover, Del. Prof. Robinson reported that the industrial schools they are making and are making no real contribution to the industrial training. Colored people of the south, he described found out by calling themselves industrial schools they could get larger appropriations from whites. They followed industrial schools throughout industrial courses with the result that the graduates of vocational schools cannot immediately go out and secure jobs. President Grossey reported that of over 2,000,000 colored children per year, 70,000 white children 83 per cent are enrolled in schools. Forty-three thousand colored teachers have an average of six pupils, three and white teachers have an average of 34 pupils in each class. Rather Dead How colored people get a rotten deal in state appropriations for state expenditures per child for education was shown by President Grossley. Maryland he said, spends $30 on the education of each white child and only $25 on the education of Howard Preside Howard President On Business Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president of Howard University, speaking before the Fact Finding Conference, University of Iowa business blacks a competent apologetic for the support of Negro business. "One of our group who does business with another," President Johnson declared, must "be able to run a greater risk in investing in business because of congruency." There are reasons why patrons of closed business of this day must pay more. It is the place of the busi- ness more, the public on his own transport. The business man cannot afford to do business for profit only, but must get to the place where he is selling goods. Business men, he declared, are also spending larger portions of their income for personal enjoyment and putting their money into the business. He must tone down on the question of luxury, Dr. Johnson said. Leaders Who Move Allison Davis, an instructor at the south; leaders must ave an Hampton Institute, discussing the honest faith in the great common question, "What Does the Negro people, the Poor, the Leaders?" at the Durham conference. Many leaders, he said, have a distance, declared the real miracle to taste and a contempt for the masses of the Negro's survival of 250 years of the group. They have no confidence in the race and are ashamed of them for economic achievements, but the for-itude with which the race has borne up all of its lits that have been heaped up by the youth demands, he said, that the leaders shall respect the masses; that the leaders shall not exploit the masses; that the leaders shall be sympathetic and unjudicious today and tomorrow betray us. Page Two Call VE rnon 6016 I WILL N w Jesus Into w Church Miss Gwendolyn Bennett Miss Gwendolyn students and writer, declared unpatent leaders need to substitute a cultural background for the present methods of teaching, which can be directed through education into the right methods of living, but cannot be whipped into it. Both young men and women she said need instruction in social hy- tics, ought to have frank talks about sex life. Leaders are often guilty of disciplining young people for the same things older folk do behind closed doors. Leaders are encouraging most of the women to want to teach school when the example Maggie L. Walker, Jane Adams and Madam Purie ought to be held up. As Example ch "Good Time" $2.50 and $5 respectively for the Bal- lard Fund. With all that is needed to be done toward community work and social uplift, Mr. Washington said. Opportunity must be made to mishy poetry and the Crisis magazine, a similar contest for drama and poetry. The pulp, he said, teaches the people under the stress of emotions and not rationally. "A silver tongued" orator could get larger sums for the Community Fund. Defense Of Churches Dr. George K. Bunting, acting as a defense for the churches in this connection declared that the community drives in the various cities had failed to a large extent because they had not sold their proposition to the mayor. Defense Of Flo Mills John E. Nail of New York, making a defense of Florence Mills said that her casket had not cost $10,000 as reported in the newspapers, although it should be considered a worth of money in her work here and abroad, she had never owned an automobile. Leuttenant Oxley Speaks Speaking in New York, Leuttenant Oxley noted that 29 per cent of the population in North Carolina furnished 65 per cent of the death by tuberculosis. Eighty-five per cent of the bine in that city was buried by midwives in aid of doctors. 10 Murderer In one county, 19 murderers were treated for syphilis. Out of every 1,000 colored children in the town North of every 1,000 white children born 18 are illegible in that state. In 1926, 228 colored and white persons were admitted to prison. Investigation shows that few of those arrested for crime had gotten beyond the elementary schools and that 16 per cent were 7 years North Carolina. he added, had had no lynching for seven years and 50 per cent of those persons convicted of rape had received a commuted sentence from the governor. St Of Public School Tax Funds North Carolina spends $12 on each colored child and $2 on each white child and $12 on each colored child and $3 on each white; South Carolina $60 on each white child and $5 on each colored child and $127 on each colored child; Delaware $03 on each white child and $78 on each colored School Term Alabama gives whites 140 days in the school term and colored 110; Florida gives 147 days for each color; Georgia gives 60 days for colored children; Delaware and the District of Columbia give 180 school days to both white and colored; Maryland gives 60 days to colored; Virginia 156 days to whites and 143 days to the colored children. Only three out of 16 southern states have equal school terms for white and colored children. In South Carolina, for example, President Grossley said, where the amount expended for colored schools are about equal, money expended for white schools is six times the amount expended for colored schools. M. Taylon, of Tuskegee, reported that mechanics and contractors in the south are hampered by lack of financial backing; secondly, because they can change more for material; and thirdly, by a lack of skilled workers. The business man, instead of charging higher prices, must find some such as underwear, even the service such as that underwear, the teacher and preacher and the present luxury of business men. "We can't follow the white business man's expect to benefit our people. We must have a greater purity of motive and acquire a larger sense of responsibility." "I's an awful thing," he declared, for the business men to be bearded by the people. "It's thing to be skinned by an enemy of 250 years and it's another thing to be skinned by a man who is a subsidiary of other fellow and eats at your table." Dr. Haynes Talks Dr. George E. Haynes said the professional and college men are being trained at the expense of great missionary societies who after going into the job and assume as their motto Go All Can For Myself and Give Nothing." Many leaders, he said, have a distaste and a contempt for the masses of the group. They have no confidence in the brave force and are ashamed of them they vision for their future. He scored professional men who after making as much as they can from the comedy, they away from them as far as they can go. Youth demands, he said, that there be a new system of justice today and tomorrow be Durham, N. C. Group Of Business Men Who Were Hosts To Fact Finding Conference Last Week DuBois Gives Durham Conf.

Moton, principal institutional Institute, announced Monday that Edgar B. Stern, of New Orleans, son-in-law of Julius Rosenwald, was elected to membership on the institute at a recent meeting of the board in New York. - The political situation was discussed by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois before a crowded house at St. Joseph's Church. Thursday night, the Fact Center Conference of Durham, N. C. - The committee on politics reported essays everywhere in the South. Citizens were urged to pay poll taxes or other requirements for registration. - Declaring that no official figures existed as to the vote by races in the South, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois made public the results of the survey of citizens using the illiteracy test, the property test, the poll test, the army service test, the good reputation test, the grandfathered and the ungrandfathered colors means to disarrhive colored voters. North Carolina Taking North Carolina as an example, Editor DuBois said he sent out 100 letters to county election officials to request that their envelope enclosed. He said he received 27 replies and the other persons kept his stamps. Replies received from Pender and Dare Counties quoted the election officials' statements. The people were satisfied with the government there and for this reason none of them had registered or vetted. Richmond county officials reported that 25 of 50 persons registered for of them teachers and preachers. In the 27 counties, Dr. DuBois estimated that 3,219 persons registered and 1,970 voted. With 85,000 eligible voters in North Carolina, he estimated that only 15,000 persons registered and 8,200 Georgia Figures for 1926 in Georgia, Dr. Dennis paid $1,000,000 in taxes paid a pall tax, fifty per cent of them registered and others were prohibited by registrants from vot Alabama Alabama showed a voting list of 3,550 colored voters and less than 1,000 of these were in Birmingham. Mississippi showed only 101 registered out of a 143,000 eligible. Texas Texas has 800,000 Democrats and five million Republicans are colored. If the 300,000 Republicans, 10,000 of whom voted in 1926. Whites Disfranchised 70 Although the various tests and clauses were designed to disfranchise those who were not voters being disfranchised by this method, Dr. DuBols said. He quoted figures showing that although Virginia's population has increased from 120,000 in 1856, the number of voters has dropped from 150,000 in 1856 to 130,000 in 1920. In Texas, Dr. DuBols estimated 1,760,000 whites were disfranchised. In other words, said Dr. DuBois. 14,000 southern voters equal 40,000 nother voters. You keep still and do not purpose to elt people know about all this because it will hurt, business, the declared. This situation will last only until the country knows about it. All Depend On Ballot Jim crow, disfranchisement, lynching, the death rate and crime all depend upon the vote and political difference he said, to make such a noise in the world that these things must change. Asked why the Negro in the north did not vote 100 per cent, Dr. DuBois said: "A good many of them came from the south and were imbued with the slave psychology." "White south doesn't vote," he said most of them are democrats and do not know what it is all about.

This Memorial is Respectfully Admired by the Undersigned Represent- ation of the American Negro Organsi- zation and INFORCE ALL LAWS I urge the sustaining of the entire Constitution of the United States and the enforcement of all of its provisions and limitations by the government then to make the appeal or allow that it has been made to the government of its laws. Such policy would to the end of ordinary mind and common sense be appropriate to that the government has no real power to enforce any of its laws, or to enumerate those who are resolved to enforce such laws as they favor. The new amendments of the national Constitution is as a part of fundamental law, and the amendments and laws passed by the lawfully constituted body, until guaranteed by the courts, is as sacred as the Constitution itself.

A Simultate the community of inter-ethnic groups and bring our citizens. When the number of the citizens are wifely violated by other citizens or shamefully neglected by other citizens or beaten separately, No informed American does that the administration increases in many of the states the number of Negro voters; but many otherwise intelligent Americans have to see what the unary curtailment. Nor were it resulted in a curtailment of the votes of the white people, so that the majority of citizens should go to the polls, may be a "brownborough" election in the black community, thousand people must bring people in America have a common interest in the sacredness and the security of the ballot and of all constitutional It is the same with the nature of the white man and the black man; either both position and the liberation of action, or neither race can impose these blessings. We note with interest that the white man is not free to express himself, the white man is also not free to oppose himself. In the Negro, in the white, in the black, even the so-called white man must conform in his exertion and overt action toward the Negro, and in his objection to the liberation and a paralyzing condition in subjects that are alien to the Negro, and in his desire to not prosper in such communities. The human mind is a unit, or a unitary at least, and it cannot be very barren or direct and very liberal on the same level as direct and toward others. It can be directed toward others, but when will continue to oppress.

Two Co-ed Residents Of Miner Hall Lose Clothing While Taking Nap GUN HALTS WATCHMAN Police Called As Seven Arrive At Eight WASHINGTON.—A thief entered Miner Hall, the girls' dormitory of Howard University, at Gorilla Saturday, and sole dresses and sole armorments belonging to two co-eds, Misses Crawford and Marian Farrar, who occupy a room on the rear of the first floor. The girls who had just returned from the dining hall after the supers hour, were in their rooms preparing for social engagements later in the evening. Miss Farrar and Crawford, however, preferred taking a nap on the front porch, and thus gave the intruder ample time to plunder. According to evidence, he was among the back window and entered. An aged watchman, named Scott saw a man leaving Miner Hall with a bundle and attempted to stop him, behind a few trees. He accompanied him a gun which was brandished at him. When accosted, the thief, who answered to the description of a man, declared he was merely gassing a few trees. An accomplice, hiding behind a tree, suddenly grabbed the bundle and rushed towards the reservoir, just beyond the University, and then down the street. Police Slow. A call sent immediately to the police station was not answered until 8 o'clock. The nightlight was not the first time that a thief had entered Miner Hall. It is the opinion of those on the campus that this was the same sneak thief who stole clothing from the library. At that time, suspicion fell on one of the girls who proved her innocence. The mystery remained unsolved. In view of this last incident, it seems that authorities will take extra precautions to prevent the recurrence of such burglaries.

"You're man in the world who is as good as I am," he declared, "is he who can stoop as low as I can and lift humanity. Said Mr. Harrison, "came to see the living and not the dead." "Whenever you see an elephant at a circus you see a man leading the elephant," he said by way of illustration. "You can see enough to throw the man over the housetops and the only reason he doesn't is because he doesn't have a legged elephant in the race," he declared "who are not aware of their own potential strength. We let others think for us and as and as we as working—we are being worked." A Long Time "Do not become discouraged," he admonished, "it takes a long time to make a race. It also takes a long time to win. It takes 80 years to get Moses ready and He was working on him day and night." **Trusted Race** "The trusted race was always a trusted people," he declared. "When God wanted to send the Christ child some where for protection. He passed up the yellow race in the East and he carried Joseph to carry Mary and the child down in Africa." **Simon**, a black man, helped Christ carry up Calvary and then carried there sweeping and puffing and forget to ask him for anything, that's the reason we haven't much today. Even if Jesus crosses him to remember him and Simon was still whining his face." Wearing Away In speaking of segregation and proscription Judge Harrison said that these abuses shaken knives upon, the knife becomes sharper and brighter and the brick evenly wears away.

Albert Sterrett, pastor, who stepped into the limelight not so long ago with his now famous sermon "Me.sln' Around", in complimenting the performers said: "The church has never given theatre people the attention they deserve. We have always looked upon them as being a terrible lot and of no use to the world save to jazz and to sing songs. EVANGELIST HERE "Many of these men and women are from some of the best Christian families in America. These are our sons and daughters and must be encouraged in every way. When a new day arrives and superstition is banished, we shall see how ridiculous we have been by condemning the innocent games of the youth while the anen corner brother sits and plays checkers all the day long without any offense to the righteous' sensibilities of his stout partners. "When a more ethical exercise of religious practice obtains among us we shall see the folly of pronouncing judgment upon our children with as much glee as they who had Christian manhood enough to walk right into the church and all the terrors of hell upon the kidnies who jump around a little at the house party while many of our children are to move our house to make room for Saturday night nopromenade and to continue the festival until the Sunday begins at which service they compliment our dewey and circumspection. How ridiculous!" COUNCIL OF CHURCHES FIGHTS LYNCHING COUNCIL OF CHURCHES FIGHTS LYNCHING NEW YORK.—A summons to church people to penitence and to prayer to free our nation from the evil of the world who violated the laws was issued today by the Federal Council of Churches through its commission of which George E. Haynes is chairman. "Lynching is a criminal justice he has to call," the call declares. "Any community that flouts the dignity of the law and courts of justice opens the way to the violent rule of the law and results the very ideals upon which our civilization is dependent. A nation's penitence and prayer must be summoned by the chief justice to build a deeper respect for the process of justice and new sympathetic understanding among at the in the role of protector and the beholder in prayer the best things come forth." The day chosen for this observance is February 12, known as Race "In the 45 years ending with 1928, American mobs lynched 4,551 persons, about three-fourths of whom were innocent—one whom were women. Only four states, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont—have never had a recorded lynching. In 1922 there were 61 lynchings in the United States; in 1923 there were 33; in 1924 and 1925 there were 16 each year; in 1926 there were 30; and in 1927 to November 15 there were 14 victims, two of whom were at the stake, stated D.

ADJUDOED BY "OPPORTUNITY" AS THE BEST COLORED WEEKLY, 1925-26 RESIDENT PAUL DIDN'T WRITE EPISTLE TO HEBREWS Few Biblical Books Written By One Man Says Rev. J. E. Lee His subject was "Saint Paul and the Epistle to the Hebrew". The Epistle he said, was written between 64 and 60. He called it "Element Rome, Saint Luke and Barnabas and Apolos, early Christians, are also said to have written the Epistle. Mr. Lecs opinion was that he was writing to pollos whom he termed the best fitted of Paul's companions by education, accomplishments, modes of thought and religious viewpoint to whom he the probable author of the book. Preponderance of critical thought, the Rev. Mr. Lee declared, was in this direction. Mr. Lee expressed the view that aside from the New Testament gospels written by Saint John and including Revelations, none of the other Books were written by one of his disciples, Isaiah, he said, was written by two. The Rev. J. C. Martin admitting the weight of evidence as submitted by the Rev. Mr. Lee, declared he preferred to believe that the Epistle to the Hebrews was written by Christ, this Epistle was to dissuade those to whom it was written from relapsing into Judaism and to hold fast to Christ. This was the superiority of Christ's priesthood over that of Moses. "We have in this city a half dozen atheists and agnostics, upstarts who are no longer so religious, who are always eager to quote criticisms of pastors. "The Bible is the greatest book of its kind in our literature and when we face problems we find them meandering back to the Bible for comfort." The Rev. Mr. Stewart named Cyprian and Tertullian, members of the church, whom he said had some part in writing the Epistle to the Hebrew: Discussion followed a request by the Rev. J. J. Baker to admit Mrs. Ide J. Raiff, cyanellist, as a member The Rev. W. H. Manokoo said, "We take in women today as our helmates and one like unto our selves. B.

Charles Stewart Saye Concept Of God Changeable WE WON'T SEE HIM Essence Of Human Relation ship Distinctly Spiritual The fundamental back of God is a spirit, declared the Ber. Charles Stewart to his congregation at Trinity A. M. E. Church Sunday morning, and people who want to get in touch with Him must do so spiritually instead of merely getting down on their knees. Explaining what what God is to believe in conception of Him, the pastor added, "the real religion until individuals get to couch with the spirit of God. The he asserted, "is spiritual, and is the foundation upon which people should be saved." Right is "to say saving much because it is not the volve love or moral power." Rev. Stewart pointed out that the various concepts of God depended on the nature of the people. For that reason, he explained we have people in different parts of the world having different forms of what is God. He continued, complain because their prayers are unanswered but little realize their needs of a lack of virtual fellowship. "In proportion as we are able to disrobe ourselves of the physical arrangement and take on the spirit, I touch with God," he stated. He then likened God unto a bank that which people deposit money into which they haven't put anything in the bank can't well expect to draw out very much the greatest happiness that come to a person, he believes, that comes through following Christian life. Such a life is hard to achieve in the long run because of the happiness and peace of mind that brings. We shall probably never live presence. AMONG THE CHURCHES A. C. E.

Robertson, from the press of Boni and Liverwright, has made some interesting observations in his work on the South and Governor Alfred Smith's presidential aspirations. The Southern Democrats, according to Smith, are nominated. "After all the man is a good Democrat—and he's a white man. We've never deserted the party since Lee men wend heaps in rags; so we won't do so now." "Governor Smith's wetness, his Catholicism, his faith and his affiliation, with that questionable organization.

Colored policemen, policewomen and firemen 2. Colored representatives on city, county and State Starting A Sunday School Convention The first presiding elder district Sunday School convention was held in Wesley, M. A. church was organized by the Hagerstown district of the Baltimore annual conference, in Ebbenezer Church, Hagerstown, September, 1884. It grew out of the fact that three previous state-wide S-5aday School convention held the last week of failure because of the inability of those in charge to manifest as much interests as would justify the coming together of workers from all parts of the state and occur so that it would be possible to gather these workers together in smaller groups and thus accomplish what the larger groups were unable to do. This idea I brought to the attention of my master, and thought the suggestion a good one and the late Frances J. Peek suggested that it might be held at his church, at Hagerstown. Presiding Elder King authorized me to send out the program once over his name and thus the first Sunday School convention held the presiding elder's district was called. Today, wherever there is an A. M. E. church, there is also at sometime a district Sunday School convention. President Coolidge's mention of the Negro indicates that he has not learned much in his five years in the White House. What he said last week differs little from the platitudes of his previous messages. He announces that the race is making progress. As an example he cites the fact that "it is estimated" (the president has not taken the trouble to find out exactly) 50,000 are under the civil service drawing ABOUT 55,000,000 annually. Colored folk are inconsiderately treated the president says, and congress ought to enact legislation to eliminate the foul crime of lynching. Nothing about segregation in government departments; nothing about peonage and mistreatment of Mississippi flood sufferers; nothing of the color bar at West Point in the Navy and at the Naval Academy; nothing of the photograph the civil service requires of all applicants so as to certify colored folk for certain places only; nothing about disfranchisement in the South. The President does not choose to run for reelection. He is free to speak his mind and his convictions. Unfortunately his utterances of last week show he hasn't many. Maryland had a triple hanging at midnight recently and a crowd outside the penitentiary seeking entrance nearly outnumbered the 150 official spectators who were admitted by hanging four Italiani. "The death chamber was like a rush hour subway train," says a newspaper correspondent. It held only 75 of the 150 invited guests which made it necessary to divide the crowd into two shifts each one of which saw only two electroshocked blood lusters and blood seers who get a thrill out of watching poor wretches in death agony, like to chase their victims down first. One Florida concern eager to draw a crowd into the blood prison break and prisoner hunt with blood hounds" as an attraction. A Kentucky mob half women, lynched a prisoner by publicly burning him at the stake. No barbaric African king with all his voodoo rites ever enjoyed his human sacrifices as much as the American blood lusters North and Baltimore received a needless amount of unfavorable publicity at the Durham, N. C. Fact Finding Conference last week. Mr. Forrester B. Washington, of Atlanta, discussing Community Drives that our students gave $5. The inference is that this the greatest contribution. As a matter of fact the APRO gave $100. 100 high school teachers were berated because their average gift was $3 and $5. The wealthiest citizens were said to have given $5 and $2.50 respectively. Mr. Washington quoted local community fund officials as saying of $12,000 subscribed less than $2.50. In the Community Fund in Baltimore it is not the fault of the citizens, but the failure of officials to put over their campaign. As Dr. George E. Flayes remarks, the Community Fund in many cities has not sold its program to the common people. Mr. Flayes "wealthy" citizens condemned by Mr. Washington give as largely of their means any other group for charitable purposes. Should they be condemned because they do not see their way at present to discontinue their present method and join the community fund movement? Last week subscribing $90,000 to the hospital drive, is clear evidence of what Baltimore will do when it is "sold on any proposition. Widow Margaret Lillendahl and Willis Beach "her big butter and egg man" have been sentenced to ten years each in the New Jersey penitentiary at hard labor for the murder of the widow's husband. Her sympathy compelling story told how she and her husband were attacked on a state road by two black men. She quoted her husband's last words to the two thugs as for God's sake, spare my wife." So the jury out 24 hours came to the conclusion Les the widow and Beach were telling the encle that has served so well in many a criminology, and found them both guilty of manhunting. The judge was surprised. He had expected a higher verdict. "There is no doubt in my mind that this crime was murder in the first degree." The country needs more men like Judge Luther a Campbell. For once the old story of blaming it on the zero did not work. Page Six THE AFRO-AMERICAN An Independent Weekly Newspaper A Champion of Civic Welfare and the Square Deal JOHN M.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER Mr. Coolidge The Blood Lusters The voodoo king clays infants to propitiate evil spirits. Civilized Americans flock to executions and lynchings to satisfy their own peculiar blood lust. Unkind Publicity Didn't Work Call VE rnon 6016 Ethiopia Stretches The first U. S. Minister to Ethiopia may be Addison E. Southard, white, of Kentucky. President Coolidge sent the nomination to the Senate last week and very likely it will be confirmed. Abyssinia (Ethiopia) is an empire in northeast Africa controlled and inhabited wholly by black folk. "It stretched forth its hands" to Uncle Sam last week and when it opens its eyes it will be surprised. There ought to be wide spread protest against the President's nominee because the President's policy ought to be definite and consistent. If he is not going to send colored consuls and minors to white countries, then he ought to represent white men to represent this nation in Negro countries. It's hard to harmonize Mr. Coolidge's high regard for the Negro as expressed in his message to Congress with his unwillingness to appoint them to administrative and diplomatic posts in the black countries of Hayti, Virgin Islands, San Domingo and now Abyssinia. The AFRO pointed out several months ago that the State Department contemplated a white minister in Liberia but Mr. Coolidge negatived the proposal. In the rush that attends the opening of Congress, the Department has put one on over the President. In Richmond Public Schools Filled With Worn Out White Principals—"Dog Killing" Streets Named For The Saints—Banks Progressive—John Jasper Still Alive. One sees strange sights and experiences strange feelings upon going to Richmond, because it is a strange town. Of course there are many oratory men and conductors, policemen, ticket agents, Negro porters, washerwomen, "dog-killing" streets, Greek food shops—"For Colored People," men and conductors, policemen, ticket agents, leaders and live school children, preachers and insurance men—A population of 70,000 Negroes and 130,000 whites multiply these common people in Richmond is an old city, nor has she had a recent fire nor too many funerals (of a certain type); hence the numerous old land marks, chinging vines, crumbling walls, the majestic city leadership. It is a quaint old city which seeks to be religious making up for what is lacking in doctrine and practice. It is perhaps that Richmond's sainted stresses are among the most badly kept in the city, although some of the city's most honorable people live on them. In Durham, North Carolina "they" ask you Where, Where You Born? how much money you have; in *Atlanta* "they* demand of you the school at which you vacationed and the order to which you belong; but you want to be a parent, parents, where were they born and how many scores of years you have lived in Richmond; a favorable reply brings a favorable position in the community; it is a pleasure to visit the drug stores of Richmond. They are clean and presentable. Excepting the display of Madam Walker, one of the most famous proprietors of the proprietor. The people at least, have places in which to stop in making trips through the section. Most of the men who enrage in this business are the students interested. The "V" Associations. One of the oldest institutions in this old city, both in point of years and characteristics, is the Young Men's Christian Association. The Y. W. G. A. is true to its name. Every body knows about it and likes to hear the name called. There are three large banks in Richmond. Two of these banks have more than one half a million dollars in resources: The S. Lakes Bank, the North Bank, and the Thornbush aid. One bank, The Second Street Bank, backed by the Richmond Beneficial, has resources amounting to more than $300,000. This bank is fast approaching the half million mark. The Richmond Bank, the Walker, James Carter and John T. Taylor are easily approached, and are generally will liked. Barber Shop Dope has it that there might be more genially mutual interest manifested by the two banks. The Richmond could have a bank in the Federal Reserve. John Jasper Alive John Jasper is one of the most powerful personalities in Richmond. He is neither dead nor dead, but rather a very special life, his fatherly care, his powerful preaching, are all fresh and working still. He is a man of great age, a strange old city is headed by a white man, private and public. All of these heads are somewhat kind and courteous, thereby effectually hypnotizing him. He is not a man when he means no, laugh when he is mad, harmlessly peaceful when he is awfully violent. Richmond white people—northern and southern White School Principals There are ten white principals for the ten public schools attended by Negro children. All of the stenographic help is colored, save in the Leigh Street Junior High. One of these principals is a teacher. Just has failing health. The School Board is very much kinder to them than nature dares to be. Patrons charge that Negro pupils get one of two types of principals: young man in training for future teaching among white pupils, or old men in soak for the farther banks of The Disadvantages Disadvantages of white principals are obvious: they are unsympathetic. They live too close to the students. They don't know the life and experiences of the teachers, also are they foreign to the home life of Negroes. These are southern white men. All of them are teachers. In the State Teachers Association, last month, because Virginia has a purity law for whites. But Principal Palmer was there from Newport News, Principal Townsend (white) of the Armstrong High. Richmond, has twelve hundred high school pupils. There are a hundred. The former has a few books in a bare room for a library, the latter has a growing library. Besides, Palmer joins the teacher's teaching for twenty magazines, for between them. The Star Instructor Mr. Townsend took to the room of his star instructor. The class was studying biography. Jonathan Lindsay, professor, led the class. My children Swift died "from the head down." He moralized at length on that theme. One of Swift's students, a girl named another sermon. Not to my surprise I later was told that Rev. Lindsay is pastor of two country churches. Palmer of Newport, or news, and I was told that he claived this preacher a public nuisance. Townsend is a southern white man, although kind and courteous, and thinks that Negroes need to be treated with respect. Townsend is a good breeder for Miss Anne house and Mr. John's shoes. This public school evil at Richmond should demand the best interest of the children. All in all, Richmond is just another big southern town. The practices of the whites are temporary, and the permanent because of the selfishness, ignorance and disinterestness of a large Negro Look And Learn B. A. C. GORDON 3.

Banks The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.-South's Biggest and Best Weekly The Week The Week Keep this in mind, the president appoints only after others recommend. Consider that thought and look up those who run the organization of your party. Ask THEM how about a colored man for such and such a position. Now for a recent speech by Mr. Coolidge who burns the midnight oil. He was addressing an audience at Washington's Monument, the other day when Mexico presented a stone to be placed in that imposing structure. Listen to your president: "Our Union of states is like a family. Each member has its own distinctive characteristics and individuality, but each is bound to the other, not alone by the provisions of the Constitution, but by sentiment of mutual respect and regards. While each must maintain its own peculiar functions and sovereignty, each much observe the rights of the others to the extent that each has consented to abide by the general charter under which we exist." Fine words; apt description: "Like a family" your president says of your country. Have you not seen one family produce lawyers, preachers, desperates, teachers, and highwaymen? So with Mr. President when did each consent to abide by the "general charter"? Constitution? Perhaps. Mr. President, you were too busy to read so you declared that states of his section had no idea of abiding by the part of the "general charter". Lincoln died to put in it. Hope that Cloake in his next speech will Glass and HIS idea of the "general charter". Tiger's Money 4. Tiger Flowers is dead but his money still lives. His manager, Walk Miller, knew the tiger's importance in life. In death Mr. Miller knows the importance of the Tiger's money. Many will exclaim: "Isn't that disgraceful, the way Mr. Miller is trying to get hold of Mr. Flowers money?" is disgraceful and tells me but without telling me have no respect for the living or dead when money comes up. Money is power, comfort, ease, station in this life. In the life to come there is no station, as Jesus told you. Mrs. Flowers was put in the hands of Mr. Miller by Tiger's will, drawn a few hours before his death. He lived a life and arranged to live at least comfortably on his money after his death. Mr. Miller says that he has a side. Are there always two sides to every question? helped Tiger make his money. "Miller did really well, though he did help the Tiger into public notice. Feel sorry for Mrs. Tiger but remember, as you talk and argue this matter, that white teeth are not really white. As he drew the Tiger's will Miller evidently said to himself. "This is one bridge that carried a man over that will not be forbent." Then in came the Notary Public and asked. A few hours after Tiger had reached that money where there is neither fighting nor money. A Protestant's Side 5. This humble writer keeps telling you that no person living now, not even the baby born this morning will ever see a Catholine in the House, except on a Sunday this writer is anti-Gothic or anti-Al Smith. Say, rather, that this writer, fairly up on books, is able to read the signs of the Times. This is a Protestant Country. Get down the books called history and read, thinking as you read of the men who settled this country, gave it life, government, made it a nation, and after a while let you in. In the same way, they said. Later on they said the same thing of poeses and bishops. Their children are now in the saddle. Sunday the Rev. I. M. Haleman preached a political sermon to his congregation in the First Baptist Church in York. Hear the elder: "Recently in a communication to Mussolini the Pone declared that while his faith tolerates Protestants, it does not protect them. Put a Catholine in the White House and see them will be. "The position of Catholic imperialism and the Protestants' struggle against that imperialism are clearly foretold in the Bible. It is our duty to fight as we have never before." Dearly beloved, if the Protestants in the U. S. A. fight as they "never fought before" you may live to witness interesting scenes. The Bible also foretells the death of the dead early. Gov. Al Smith seemingly will the uncleer. "Rest in peace" will do for the tomb-bes. Honor To Whom Honor 7. Honor to whom honor, tribute to whom tribute, custom-to whom custom. Great words spoken by the lips you can laugh at, such as Virginia, Harry E. Byrd, who puts his foot down on lynching. Maybe you read the words of Virginia's governor. Citizens of his state crossed the Kentucky line and lynched a colored man, who was Governor Byrd's words. Years ago strong language was used by Virginians. THEN strong, brave men. The first governor of Virginia was, amoufl of the first governor of Virginia?" you asked yourself. Looking that up will give you something to do. "This crime." in the opinion of the governor of the state that started your country off, "should arouse the people of this state to the people who will be made of those who commit murder in the mobs as well as those who commit murder as individuals." You expect a noble speech like that from a brother of the man who flew over an unknown world, do you not? Let colored Virginia, proud of their government,inhold him, and "" that Carter Glass, disillusioning Jefferson, George Mason and Patrick Henry in defying THEIR Constitution ought also to "arouse the people of Virginia." Bible Society 8. The great Bible Society of New York celebrates its 115th anniversary. You will note that our white people have been reading the Bible a long time before they met when YOU, although having eyes to see, were not permitted to read it. News of the Bible is highest news. You know it true because prove it. Because you have seen its instructions, endured according to its teachings, and having endured, came into liberty because of its power over human hearts. You know it true because distinguished citizens wrote the society kind words. Among those to congratulate the society are Mr. Coolidge, your praving president, Kellog, secretary of state, Melon, secretary of the treasury, Gov. Jackson, secretary of the civil service, and Mr. Walker. Each of these genius has found comfort in the Great Book. Mr. Kellog reads of Moses, first secretary of state. Mr. Mellon reads of Joseph, first secretary of the treasury. Gov. Jackson, first secretary of the civil service. Mr. Walker perhaps took up with David. Perhaps by the time the 150th anniversary of the society rolls around our white people will be willing to BELIEVE the Bible. If you can believe it, and embrace it, your woes are an end. When this Bible Society was organized 118 years ago, a man at AT your forefathers was this: "Who then is a faithful and wise SERVANT. whom his Lord his master hath mast mader over his household, to give them meat in due season. Blessed you hear other texts now. They are pleached TO you. This humble writer likes this one: 'Traying for me, that utterance may be given that I may open my mouth boldly' (Eph. 6:19). Our white people won't be able to understand the Bible until God reads it to them. Now our white holds his own Sunday School, and fock attends. Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough. Beyond that expect the author to write a book that will only be read by a great man." Sign name as evidence of good faith, it will not be published if you so desire. The Negro Woman, The Most Queenly Of Her Sex On Earth. To the Editor: The greatest production of the Negro race, in this country, as well as its greatest contribution to American civilization, and such upon the testimony of the most reputable, and cultured, white persons the South has ever produced. Possibly more than any other factor the affectionate memory of the Negro woman has large and unprecedented subscription to the Provident Hospital, upon the part of white people, at the recent dinner at the Emerson Hotel. I will welcome the information, if any one can point out from history women of another who have received words of greater praise, and affection, than the black woman of the South, affectionately referred to as "King," that there are Negroes who do not like the word, or any reference to it. But this is a free country, and I am hold to assert that the phrase "black Mammy" is historical witness to the greatest production of the Negro faith. African women were introduced into the "great house", the center of the best culture in Africa, and were effectively, assimilated from their environment, that to their rearing and keeping were entrusted the children of the household. Under the same kind of men and women this country has ever produced. Presidents, congressmen, statesmen, and judges were brought up by this queen. The affections of these women and their affections have fallen from the lips of men than the tributes paid these women of the black race. It is able to make such high ascension in virtue, then, under freedom the future must hold an exceedingly high place of eminence and superiority for both woman, the most queen1 of her sex on earth. GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr National Business League Program Went Over Big In Philadelphia. To the Editor: Thank you for the very heavy support given the National Business League organization through me while in Baltimore. We have had response from our extended program with our extended program because of the publication appearing in your paper, and I am sure that everyone of the officers of this organization appreciates your interest. We believe if the newspapers of our group cooperate with our organization, since it has adopted its new program, that we think have a better and more powerful group think more about caring for their own needs. The program went over big in Philadelphia. We have organized the program, that we think have more than one hundred Philadelphia numbering more than one hundred twenty-five (125) business men. We shall have the same in Baltimore. BERT M. RODDY, N. Y. C. Of Interest To School Teachers, Nurses, College, Training, and High School Graduates.

Koger is Toek To Task For His Attack Upon Dr. Wm. Pickens To The Editor: This letter is addressed to Mr. A. B. Koger, whose attack on Dr. William D. Williams should or should I say the white man's religion?—is additional proof of the gigantic stupidity of our race. Mr. Koger, read The Week, by Roscoe Simmons, (issue of Dec. 4, 1989), letters of that article should be gold embossed. Portions of the Bible are as fine a piece of junk as ever came from the press. The protector and dark races of the world. While all of our leading men have not expressed their opinion concerning the Bible, yet it is reasonably clear that the junk and bed-time stories contained. We as a race, swallow what is handed us whole-hook, sinker and line. Are we to look as to why the minister told the Bible? Then turn light on the subject: "That's gold in them thar hills." Everything contained on earth is a chemical combination, capable of being chemically combined. Life is a chemical combination. The life of a horse is the same as that in man. King James and Martin Luther's Bible upholds slavery. It takes what the poor man has to bear in it. It takes what the poor man has to save on earth, but lay up in Heaven. I wonder if you'll be Jim-crowed in Heaven, or just how will they manage it "up there"? No doubt you would find a somewhat different service than Helen's Bible. Rome was not built in a day, likewise, it will take a long time to build a race of people. My advice is: "Lay not up for yourselves 'Amens and Halleujahs,' but rather lay up for yourselves." True, Bible is a handle to the moors of the colored race. JAS. O. BLAIR 1690 Moore St.—Brooklyn, N. Y. President Mordecail W. Johnson In Profound And Prophetelle Uterances At The Religious Services Sunday Morning. I have heard many interesting and profound addresses from the Howard University professor Dr. Robert Johnson on than was spoken by President Johnson in his sermon this morning. He began by saying that his ten years active service among the common people has given him a sense of being among them a confident belief in the religion of their fathers and that the strength of this religious conviction was their most precious contrast was drawn between the religious atmosphere of the college days of old and of the new: In early years the entire college life was filled with the excitement of now the college is not looked to as the warm friend and advocate of the religion of the common folk. The college once furnished the reverence of the students and of this number only about 30 are preparing for religious leadership, and only a few of that number are college graduates. The statement was made that college men objected to the church because its leaders were not well educated and that crude and dishonorable men were in law, medicine and business, and yet they held on. Striking illustrations were given to show that the church were not well based. STERLING N. BROWN Howard University, Wash., D. C. Lend A Hand. To the Editor! It is awfully easy for those who stand by to criticize those who are working. But the fault-lie- ing of the wheel rests and the rest help burn the wheel without shinking. I once belonged to the "Fault-Finders Club." myself, and said I'd do so and so this way. But when I joined in with those turning the wheel 'twas hard work I found in my dismay.

A certain 'promising' young man doesn't pay the two-bits he owes me! Newspapers that are red are used: use 'read!' Some people use 'using' 'croon' to rhyme with 'music' 'don't' use 'leon'. A Modern Speller Dear Lintbynye: -My bachelor uncle is a professor in college, I know where I am anywhere in our school today, but in the professor's office. Teacher said spell r-u-i-n. I said she spelled w-o-m-a-m: she gave was d-e-a-t-h, and I said m-a-r-i-a-g-e. It was at this point that I was told to catch air. Poultry In the kitchen I heard a noise My heart leaped, I confessing Surprised was I. Twas not the boys But, just the turkey dressing. Christmas Spirit Dear Lino:—Some people are getting full of the Christmas spirit even before Christmas. And for this reason noolegers are one undertaker is offering reduced rates to all persons dying during the Christmas holidays. For that reason some folks will do their Christmas dropping out of school to attend a luxurious funeral decorations. Honestly, from the brand of some of this spirit that is being passed around it looks as if it's better to live than to receive. Alcoholically, JIM. Mean People We Find Near Xmas Dear Lino: The tight搐ing fellow who stands in front of a little kid who wants to see Santa Claus in a store window. The father who buys Junior a pair of stockings when he has heard the kid say he wanted a scooter. The fellow who falls out with his girl to keep from buying her a Xmas present. The teacher who keeps a fellow in for being late, when the reason was that it took him fifteen minutes to get pass the window that had broken. The father who says a girl is getting too big for toys, and who must expect useful things this year. Speaking Of Charity Dear Lintotype:—Speaking of charity, when I was a kid, we were pretty poor, and every Xmas a lodge gave us a big basket, turkey an' all the triminners. That was once at least when you were a kid, but now you ask any little fellow that's in the position I was, he'd say, he'd much rather have a little solid nackim' all the year than be stuffed like a sausage just once in 365 days. Tom. The Last Line Are you all finished? Well then remember to ask him. He will know his own business but nobody else does. And another thing, too many people would sooner burrow trouble than pay back the money they HEARD - SEEN IN BALTIMORE HEARD - SEEN IN BALTIMORE By RALPH MATTHEWS Christmas is coming faster than a three-legged rabbit running from a hound. It's been coming on the same day of the same month for 1927 years and still nobody is ever ready when it gets here. When you tell some folk that Christmas is just around the corner they look as surprised as a 40-year-old painster绘 a proposal, but when you come to see her life but when comes to be shocked. Christmas is a baffling time. A lot of people rack their brains trying to think what they can give and others tax their gray matter trying to get them to pay. We don't spend half as much time deciding who we are going to give presents to as we do trying to see who we can pass up without starting a fight. But we are too anxious to help you pick out expensive presents but nobody is anxious to loan you the money to pay for them. It is supposed to be better to give than to receive but the storekeepers don't seem to be able to play them in your pocket to pay for what you get and if they do they want it all back by the first of the month. Some crusis brag their face is their fortune but when you walk into a local store are practically penniless. They can't even sing their whiskers and make a purchase at a fire sale. The only place you can buy is in their face is the damaged goods department. Of course, some folk don't anymore forget the Christmas gift. You can keep it quiet and think it will slip by unnoticed. Or figure that if they wait until the last minute they can swipe everything they need in the rush. The guy who enters the Christmas gift will be the least money comes out with the most presents. Christmas spirit is coming into the city by the truck load. Booleighers are way behind in their orders of good will toward men. Extra cops are being drafted to keep peace on the streets. Police men from East Baltimore are busy trying to extract synthetic gin from turburing. The shepherds on the hillside are watching their stilts by night and there is no place in the inn to watch them. The stockings are hanging by the fireplace but the rest of the wash will be held over for another week. Pa and Ma are hurriedly tucked in the kitchen and readiness by the time the children get home from the dance in the morning. They will all gather around the family decoration, the old forgotten homebrew of the days of yesterday. Greetings of warm, good cheer will be passed around with cracked ice and ginger and the mother either when good fellows go down in the cellar. Happy Christmas chimes will be heard above the static in the loud speaker and there will be a new fluffer is back out of the dog house. Over the hill and through the woods to grandpa's house we go to keep from buying our own Christmas dinner. Hospitally is being home—the trouble is finding home. It is a custom to kill a turkey on Christmas day but to dinner don't believe in capital punishment. Auto-suggestion may be the eskimo's earmuffs for curling lilies, but no amount of cranberry sauce can make pork chops taste like turkey. Things equal to the same thing may be equal to nothing. A goose, Christmas comes but once a year and everybody gets just what he pays for. The yule rule is that every year the life is risen babies and birds. Saturday, Dec. 17, 1927 DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES Money And Race In American Courts Of Justice A panoramic observation of crime treatment. State's this week will give readers much room for restoring of the high American ideals of justice. Up at Mays Landing, N. J., where a few hours after a disgusted judge sentenced Manley to death to ten years' imprisonment when a judge deliberately took the woman his husband out and a lonely road and "manslaughter" him, a lawyer who is a jealous rage slew his unfortunate wife, to 30 years in the state prison. Here is a contrast for meditation. Mrs. Lillendahl and Beach were white and black, and they were the ones. Otie Johnson was colored and poor. Money And Power NOT VIEW THEM AS EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW. If that jury, on which the supposed hereditary goodness of womankilling predominated, just crazed and tired of convention, planned another man to do to death the man she pledged her life to. She did it in cool deliberation. On the other hand, there was something dramatic in Oble Johnson's tragic case. Oble smiled, and with a kindness and admitted it. He did not when she became "just a juice loving girl whom I loved, but who could not keep her, and if there lives a man in whose hand, and if there lives a man in whose hand, the instinct of killing does not rise when his wife is stolen or taken, he has "evolved beyond most of human male of the species." But Obie, with growing guards always beside him, came into cour and accused murderer Liliendaid, for the day never penetrated, while for eleven smiling Mrs. Liliendaid has attended court between tea parties and dinners and had her crime tagged, voluntary manslaughter, with her murderer. Liliendaid derided the spell of a blind instinct which has been most instrumental in producing the monogamous family. Obi Johnson must spend the day with her. That may be fair, but any way thinking men and women can not easily brush aside their indicting responsibility for how far they have penetrated the bandage from the eyes of "blind justice." Religious Tolerance Gets A Hearing Judaism, Protestantism and Catholicism at banquet board and smoked the pipe of peace. He was a member of the 400 Nordic listeners, proclaimed a new era of religious tolerance and as the Jewish leader, Rabbi Wise says, of cooperation too. Hereafter the protestant will be taught to poke the tongue long hot hatred when little Jewish Jizu passes him in the street and little Catholic "Michael" will not clinch his fist every time he meets and kisses him. Yes, probably and maybe, these three faiths will not further seek to exterminate each other on their way to the Promised Land. The unkind wends its way towards the millennium, races also will come to the conclusion that they don't have to use brute force, inhuman violence, to exterminate each other's women from marrying out of their respective groups. Provident Hospital Drive For latent ability to cooperate in Baltimore, the tremendous success the Provident Hospital drive is having is a revelation. Our network volunteers more than $4,000 in subscriptions, most of them in amounts which averaged less than $35 each. A few weeks before the drive started a promotional event, we would not raise $2,500, coming as the drive did close behind the Community Fund Drive and so near Christmas. We psychological "hard timer ahead" and pre-elocation glooved Baltimore has entered into this drive with a spirit of generosity out of all proportions exhibited outside of Church activities. THE HOSPITAL DRIVE IT CULD DO IN ANY KIND OF EXPANSION. $5,000,000 That we confined our big-heartedness to charity and religion, is one of the most short-sighted things we can do. We will spend more than $2,500 for a hospital and we will get in return simple dividends in health. Suppose we raise $5,000,000 and conduct a department store, a canning factory, or a warehouse. After paying for its necessities of life from its annual income of more than $4,000,000 the colored population still would have $1,000,000 in productive enterprise. IF THEY ONLY WOULD A program whereby every grown man and woman would invest $25,000 in a company every ten years would enable a $100,000 business each year and in the next ten years would completely wipe out the tragic economic condition wherein 250 trained young men and women find themselves here and compelled to drift into mental vocations. But ask the average business and professional man here about such a program and he will tell you it can't be done. Let us hope that the pessimism which has kept Baltimore far behind such cities as Durham, N. C. St. Louis and Chicago. Frank Kent Bemoan "Blackbirds" Power Frank R. Kent, that keen political analysis of the Baltimore Sun paper, takes a day off from the quagmire of big corruption in and about the nation's Capital to bemoan the influence of Republican delegates from the South. Like the good Democrat that he is, he rejoices in doing his bit to set out to full advantage any and sundry faults of the opposition, but he is bad timing. Republicans throw any stones. Both Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the shame of the Solid South. We hold no brief for the Republican way of dealing with Democrats are concerned, especially in the South where their blind and insatiate racial restriction, has not only held that section back politically but industrially as well, there is little room for pity. We do not expect the small group of white and colored Republicans in the South to play politics for their health while every big mogul is getting his. The fact is the Republican committee from Georgia and Mississippi really represents the American who actually need representation than the Democratic committee from New York where Tammym is powerful. And if boss ridden New York, where most Democrats can be controlled, how does he expect South Carolina colored voters to be independent with shot guns keeping them from the polls?

Richmond Fund For Florence Mills Home Grows NEW YORK—The first venture of the Florence Mills Theatrical Association toward securing funds for the a Florence Mills Memorial Home has met with success, $5,000 having been raised by benefit performance at the Alhambra and Latagette theaters. Jose A. Shipp, president of the association announces that midnight performance will be given in performances all over the country for the next three months in an attempt to fund the home that will be a credit to the theatrical world. Many actors appeared in the benefits given here and the daily press has been very generous in assisting the promotion of the fund. First Race Booking Agent On N. Y. Floor NEW YORK—Leroy Collins, for years a booking agent for the Greenwald in华盛顿 and Weston company white, in Chicago, has come to New York and is associated with the agent for the San Diego book, both white and colored vaudeville acts and so far as is known is the only Negro agent here with booking privileges. He has had considerable dealings with independent bookers and has been hired very courteous treatment since his location here. Theatre History 10 YEARS AGO 10 YEARS AGO Baby Jim was the great attraction at the Regent Theatre, appearing with Williams and Hamilton. Benbows' "Twelve Ragtime Steppers" were playing at the Lincoln. 5 YEARS AGO The "Wear G" company featuring Cloe Mitchell and the Norfolk Jazz Quartette was at the New Lincoln. Johnny Hudgins was appearing in an act at the Palace. Mae Kemp and the team of Sparrow and Sparrow were doing acts at the Star. ONE YEAR AGO The Royal Theatre was closed for extensive interior renovations. Paul Johnson's "Bon Ton Revue" was the attrition at the Regent. Mae Wilson's "Brown Beauties" were holding forth at the Star. Honorable mention for Negro plays the third time in the past two years is given S. Randolph Edmonds, instructor in English and dramatics at the College of the Arts, test, which is announced in the December issue of that magazine. Mr. Edmonds submitted two one-act plays this year. Last year the rated him third for his "Booky Roof" play in Oberlin College, his alma mater; and by him at Morgan. He was also rated third by the Opportunity last week. Mr. Edmonds took advanced work in dramatics at Columbia last summer. May Enter Art Exhibit Morgan College has been requested among other race institutions, to send artistic productions to the Art Exhibit of Negro Work which will be held in New York City early. in January, by the Harmon Foundation and the Commission on the Church and Race Relations. Moss-Fry To Coast Contrary to reports, that they would leave about the first of the week for Europe, comes the word that means "have been led for a 14-week tour of the west coast film houses, opening at Loew's State in Los Angeles on January 11." It is possible that the team may be lined up with a Doe-team company at the Lincoln for a four-week run as a headline attraction. Call VE rnon 6016 PASSING IN REVIEW The Family Spirit It can probably be said without the shadow of a doubt that members of the stage profession are about as loyal as any group in existence when it comes to the point of helping a fellow when he is in need. The group there are the "bad eggs" but heart, there is hardly a more sympathetic lot that we know of. At this season of the year many of those who have been drawing down at least living expenses in summer and early fall, now find that their lives are "as liberty" as old-timers would say. Unwise expenditures, heavy responsibilities, and yes, gambling in a number of instances, have depleted the coffers of these folk until, thrown away, they are at a loss to know what to do about the habit of eating and sleeping. Others more fortunately fixed have not turned a deaf ear to the pleas sometimes silent of these stage folks who are temporarily out of luck. In one instance of which we know an orator who lives in a rooming house a that a friend of high praise have a place to sleep, and further went so far as to feed him and finally aid him in securing employment. There are many cases of kindness on the part of fellow performers, too numerous to mention. Some theatre managers too, have been very generous and kindly in aiding these folks who gettter the break and who are striving to work with the audience. It is a fine spirit and with the approach of Christmas season is about as good an example of the Christ spirit as one would wish to see. Bums, there are to be surge, whose sole aim in life seems to beat their way through, acting as the parasite to suck the blood from one more needy than they. But it isn't so hard to get them to work, and he soon gets the cold shoulder, and treatment in other parts of the anatomy that quench his desire to repeat the performance. This friendship—the sharing of whatever things of life one possesses, with a brother in the profession, is the best that is one encouraging thing to be thankful for in these days of cold, heartless realism, when such pleas usually fall on a deaf ear. It is one of those little family affairs that would well bear emulation by the laity. Shortsightedness Two comedians were in the midst of their act in a show we saw recently. Nothing unusual about that but at that very time the pair seemed to run out of gags. Here was a wonderful comedy situation that seemed to the spark of a show man's genius to spring a good comic situation. Instead, one of the comedians said these are his exact words: "Well, we've about run out of talk. Guess we'd better go off." And off the vent, the amusement temperatures the theatre fell several degrees at their exit. Which all leads to the comment that many comedians and other show folks as well, are neglecting golden opportunities to develop laugh or applause-bringers. They are the direction of some ofay show they have seen or just heard of, in an attempt to build up similar situations. Had they merely looked around them they could have been only with show possibilities. In a recent show, the comedian, who possessed a cavernous mouth, was trying to get laughs from the costume he wore. Folks were faintly snickering at his enormous facial silt, which if feature would have brought down the house. It has been said of the late Bert Williams that all he had to do was make his appearance on the stage, and the laughes were forthcoming. He was a full-time member. Yet there are would-be oomlons today that whoop and shout in an effort to get over a smutty joke about which noob cares, when there are comedy situations fairly tching for him to take Then there are the instances of shows having some pretty good acts, but due to failure on the part of whoever places the acts in the show, fail to get them across. A act may strike a deuce spot completely complete dud as a closer, and vice versa. One manager on opening night complained of the poor reception the company received. It was then pointed out to him that in the arrangement of orchestra or harpist-composer downouted by being placed directly on top of the tuba player and the comet player was trying to toot with the bell of his horn almost touching the base keys on the piano. Making changes in the ment in the orchestra led him to make changes in the placement of some or all of them with the new arrangement the show was a good drawing card the rest of the week. Many shows are wasting good talent by playing such talent against odds and actors are failing to get their stuff across because they have failed to study the thing closest to them—THEMSELVES. A little chake up here and there, some small waitings of showmen and showfok who flurry their efforts are not appreciated. Team Acts The increasing number of "team acts" seemingly indicates that the theatre going public is in demand for such offerings. In vaudeville and musical comedy and in motion pictures presentation and the theatre have bright spots. Witches the popularity of such acts as Moss and Frye-Joyner and Foster, Glenn and Jenkins, Blake and Jones, Chappelle and Stinnette, and the host of others too numerous to mention. From the days of Williams and Walker, Cole and Johnson, the team acts as come down to us, varying in popularity with the reigning public sentiment, but seeming to have somehow an appeal that did not lose its intensity as did other acts and shows. It is possibly because of this popularity that almost overnight started up what bill as a team. As teams, some of these combinations would make good blacksmith's helpers or crab factory hands. Some have had experience but have looked to one else for their skills. Others have had no experience, but believe they have some good stuff just the way they are. To look at a good team, the average person imagines that the job is a rather easy thing but these people are far wrong. A team act, whether it be to send a message or is by far a difficult thing. People who might work well single or in a group find themselves entirely out of place on a team. It would pay, some of these folks who are in a mood to rush a team act to do a little inventory work first. Such an inspection might prevent so many of these "teams" having to ask for a tow. Albee Talks At The Toleration Dinner NEW YORK CITY-Edward P. Albee, president of the newly formed Keith-Albee-Orpheum Corporation, was host at a "tolerance dinner" at the National Vaudeville Artists Club, West Forty-Sixth street, Saturday evening, December 10th.

Dec., (PCNB)-Raymond Turner, the screen comedian seen in "The Patent Leather Kid" has attracted the eyes of the critics by his comedy work in First National's "The Love Mart," the new title chosen for Louisiana. He is the director of this which is featured Billie Dove, Gilbert Roland and Noah Berry. One expert writes "Raymond Turner, the dark spot in the picture, is nevertheless the lightest spot in the picture. His natural comedy is refreshing and despite the fact that the story is designed to make him a charming player stands out prominently and his work has been well received by Lowe State audiences." Another states, "Armand Kalz, Emile Chauart, Boris Karloff and Raymond Turner acquit themselves creditably. Harry Burns, editor of *Pilimograph*, gives Raymond credit; while only one critic, Marquis Rusby of the Los Anzuelos comedy studio gives Raymond Turner, a slave, is overdone and out of place." In the story, Billie Dove as Antoinette Frobelle plays the part of a daughter of the aristocracy, who is accused of having colored blood. Since she cannot prove otherwise she and did not have a slave. The scenes of the slave mart in which quite a number of local colored actors are used are colorful in the extreme and form the greatest dramatic moments of the play. "Golden Dawn" Dancers Praised --- NEW YORK — Robert F. Slak, white, theatrical critic, in speaking of "Golden Dawn," the Hammer stain production, states that it is lavish but lacks in good music. In describing the sceneic effects of the hit movie, the many Negroes in the company and they form, at times, fine groups and furnish good pictorial effects. The other large chorus is of little value to the piece except where it forms a background to Jacques Cartier while he is doing a voodoo dance. Another chorus what is similar vein another New York critic writes the following: "The dancing in "Golden Dawn" is good, with the exception of the dance of the natives before the Temple of Mulunguh. This demonstration is the version of a primitive Negro dance. However, Jacques Cartier does much to counteract this with his dance of Medicine Man. His glistening body generates black magic, like a real witch doctor should. I recall what a college boy said: "What's that guy? What's he great. I couldn't sit still. I wanted to jump out of my seat and shout." Bellhop Band Here Silas Carter's Bell Hop Band that played here last Thursday night showed to good advantage, Silas scintillating at the piano. In addition to Carter, other members of the band are:ulusius Anderson, Horace Henry Goodwry, Slide Harris, tuba, Thomas and Ernest Hale, saxophones, and Paul Richardson, banjo. London Acts Score Noble Sissle has opened at the Collisium, London, in a cycle of songs of his own composition. Another team in London is the team of Russet Hale, saxophone player at the Victoria, scored exceptionally, despite the fact that they were not featured on the bill. Wooding's Band Hit At N. Y. House Booked as the independent act through the office of Lyons and Lyons, Sam Wooding and His Orchestra, recently returned from triumphs in European music clubs and clubs, open to the State, New York, and will play the remaining houses in this territory. The "Variety" critic says of this outfit. A novelty is worked by the trumpeter, who imitates the frenzied revival efforts of a colored preacher with his instrument while the men play a weird sound accompaniment. Dance songs come comedy songs. This funny character is the least strong and would benefit by a little attention. Sam Woodling is a highly capable and enthusiastic director, conveying quite a degree of pep with his spirited wand waving. A girl is brought on to sing two numbers an encore, coaxing them nicely with efficient blues treatment. And the music is also hot. FLO MILLS MEMORIAL COMMITTEE MEETS A meeting of the board of directors of the Florence Mills Theatrical Association was held at the offices of the organization, Room 104, 200 W 135th street, Saturday, April 16, 2000.

What Is The BEST Colored Newspaper The Funk and Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary says: "A Newspaper is a regular publication that circulates NEWS or FRESH INFORMATION." EUGENE GORDON, of the Boston Post, reviewing the colored newspapers of the U.S. in "Opportunity Magazine," December, 1927, says:. One of the most outstanding achievements of Negro Journalism for 1927 was the AFRO - AMERICAN's undoubted publishing of MORE NEWS and this MORE EXPERTLY TREATED than any other colored newspaper. "I encountered considerable difficulty at the beginning of my attempt to determine which of the three papers, the Afro-American, the Defender, and the Courier, had the most news and that best treated (written, edited and displayed.) It became necessary, in order to placate my own conscience to count the number of news stories in each paper over a given period, then, at the end, to measure the amount of space allotted to genuine news by each paper. After this I had to consider: Was the news written according to accepted standards? Was it displayed in accordance with its relative importance to the public? Was it local or national? My final judgment was that as a medium for pure news while it is news, the Afro-American is superior to its rivals. It seems to me, also, that the editor who supervises news editing here invariably employs discrimination in his judgment of comparative news values. Afro-American news items are almost always well written. Mr. Gordon concludes: "My Final Jument Was That, Now, may we acquaint you with a few of the REASONS back of this "News Supremacy" of which Mr. Gordon speaks: The following excerpt from one of the leading trade journals of the newspaper publishing industry can readily be classed as an endorsement of the program to which the AFRO-AMERICAN has ascribed itself, and most certainly tends to strengthen our belief in the wisdom of following in the path made by the great metropolitan papers of today. AN improvement in the typography of the modern newspaper must therefore inevitably influence not only the looks but also the reading matter in that paper. More conservative type dress should inspire—and actually does greater accuracy in the growing number of papers that have recognized and are beginning to conform to present day standards. “This change is taking the form of more simple, more conservative, less inky and easier read newspapers. "A short time ago, following long laboratory experiments, there was produced a new type face. It drafted on a scientific basis with the sole purpose of pleasing the eye—of being easily read. In a nation of spectacle wearers, the consciousness had come that newspapers were too hard to read, too trying on the eyesight. One paper after another, throughout the United States, has adopted this type, until its use promises to become practically universal. In many cities every newspaper uses this type.

MOESE (For The Associated Negro Press) Though many eminent white dispensers of sportive tibits will take to the fighters' eight places in the boxing divisions to colored fighters, we believe the fights we shall admit to bring out in our article, will justify the nominations.

Gans s of another great exception of J George Dixon was bantam and featherweight champion of the world. In order to acclaim him the greatest little man that ever laced on a glove, one queen would have to be a featherweight, he thought nothing of sponging some of the world's greatest fighters a matter of twelve to fifteen pounds. A greater bantamweight or featherweight than the lion hearted little Nova Scotian never lived. His handcap matches with Frank Erne and Young Grifo, are ring epics, to be sine by the sages in Valhalla's sacred halls until time is no longer. He was O'Rourke's precious jewel, he was but a broken down shell of himself. The real George Dixon would have beaten Terry McGovern for all his far-famed ferocity, just as surely as Young Corbett turned the trick. JOE GANS The lightweights were a wonderful new, just take a peep at this staring eye of lads who fed in the neighborhood of 133 to 138 pounds; Erne, Lavigne, McAuliffe, McPardland, McPadden, Fitzgerald, Rufe Turner, Spider Kelly, George Memesic, Battling尼尔, Herrera, Blackburn, Everhardt, Bobby Dobbs, and a score more equally brilliant. Here again a colored box comes forth to dominate the whole wrecking crew of 'em. Joe Gans, who rose from the obscure position of fish boy to that extent that even bites critics were forced to refer to him as the 'Old Master. Although Gans fought in the lightweight class, he was really a few pounds over the standard of his day which was 133 pounds. His best fighting weight was between 135 and 140 pounds. This writer believes this was 146 best fighting poundage of another great lightweight champion, Benny Brown. This is the same weight he gained in the science to the stealth degree, hitting power, gameness, and the coolest head of all fighters with the possible exception of Jack Johnson. JOE WALCOTT Some writers argue that because Kid Carter, mysterious Billy Smith, and Tommy West were sort of nemesis for Joe Walcott, and just the reverse for Tommy Ryan; that Tommy instead of the dreaded "Barbadoes Demon" is entitled to premier honors among the 145 pound boys. We merely want to ask one question, gentlemen. Was Tommy Ryan as great a fighter as Joe Chowki? And could he have been the best of them? Did he deliver his hardest blow, breaking three of his jaws i phe bargain? When Walcott lost to Lavigne at Maspeth L. I, in one of the blightiest duels known to fistfight, the facts were these. it because Kid Cars of nenesis for Joe, Tommy instead of the kid, Tommy instead of the kid, Tommy. Was Tommy he have duplicated Jeffries his hardest Walcott lost to Kid Cars of nenesis that he (V. C) or fordet the g. Walcott should weil. The terms of the game, the oppenik, with the g. weighted 135, pound a fordet of $5.5 same night, the convincing fashion and shoulders was the one man a number of times SAM LAM FORDEN the maddest and that's all the greatest "All T. George Gardner and Jack Twin Sis some instances and sinew could Lavigne forced Walcott to agree that he (Walcott) would have to knock out Lavigne inside of 15 rounds or forfeit the purse. The other killing part was to knock out Walcott inside of 15 rounds, lated weight of 133 pounds. The terms of that match all but killed Walcott, cramps attacking him so badly he was forced to stand up in between rounds. When he fought Chopkins, with the great John L. Sullivan acting as the Pole second, Walcott was knocked out. His manmate posted a draft of $5,000 for Walcott to fight Jim Cortebet and Kid McCoy the same night, the money to be forfeited unless Walcott licked both men in convincing fashion. Such was the greatness of Joe Walcott, who stood head and shoulders over any weiterweight that ever lived. Giustinious Billy Smith was the one man who gave him his hardest battles and they hooked up a number of times Joe winning frequently. SAM LANGFORD Sam Langford could have licked any man that breathed between the heavens, but he was not. The insimmons whom we rate as the world's greatest "All Time" middleweight. Jack Dillon, Kid Carter, George Gardner, Jack Root, Jack O'Brien, Firman Jim Flynn, Ketchel and Jack Twin Sullivan were wonderful light-heavies or heavy middles in some instances, but the devastating author of the hook that bone and snow could not withstand was the peer of them all. JACK JOHNSON As for Jack Johnson, he was the perfect athlete. His reflexes were equal to that of the gorilla, his co-ordination was a thing of beauty unequalled by any heavyweight. It's hard to overlook Peter Jackson here, the man who forced Bob Fitzsimmons to admit he wanted none of his game—but Johnson gets the palm nevertheless. No boxer was ever able to win a fight without a knockout. Johnson went out of existence when he became too old to fight. Defensively, when the old close seconds, he was the big noise among the playboys who hit the old beam in the neighborhood of 200 or more. he was the perfect his co-ordination. It's hard to do itsitzmanns to ad e palm nevertheless to him, and he too old to fight big noise among th 200 or more.

Died In Baltimore Taking the count in one of the most remarkable defensive battles of his career. "Joe" as he was affectionately known as a ring of life victim of the great plague. the great white plaque" brought on by his ha-vag to reduce weight of his parents in Bal-timore, August 10, 1810. He died at the home of his parents in Bal-timore, August 10, 1810. Those who remember the fighting face of the intrépid box, called by many, the squarsey boy who ever laced on a fighting mit, "will never forget the bronzed honesty written in its strong features, and it will be able to overcome the ravages the disease had made as he embude thousands of unfortunate skis with the fighting spirit. When, on the advice of Battling Nelson, to whom he lost the last fight, he went to the high altitudes of Arizona, he regained strength, but he was never able to overcome the ravages the disease had made as he trained and weight reducing to make the lightweight limit 133 pounds. In his life time, Joe took the count three times. But in his remarkable ability to train and weight reducing he began in the fish hatcheries and oyster stalls of Baltimore, he went to the apex of his class in the squared arena. From back room boxing at the commission house where he worked, and the amateur theatrical performances, Al Herford, a white Baltimore business man, piloted him to the arena. Introduced Upper-Cut It is said that he invented the six inch upper-cut, that short deadly punch which "keyed in" the upper-cut that made for him a record that until this day has never been lowered. Following that memorial fight with Frank Erne, when hopelessly blinded by blood flowing from an eye brow wound made by Erne's upper-cut that made for him again, crouching like a panther, he stepped into the ring and before the sound of the starting bell had quit resounding, he shot out his right to Erne's jaw, and stood while a gasp ringside saw the referee toll out the ten counts, and a memorial whistle will go down through the ages. THE AFFRO-AMERICAN will be glad to give due credit for any amounts sent in on the cause. Yokeley's Freak Delivery Made Him 1927 Sensation Nineteen Year Old Livingstone College Hurler Broke Into The Game in 1926 And Made Good They call him "Rube" but in reality he is Laymon Yokley, a tarbelle youth, and the pitching sensation of the Eastern League for the 1927 season. The only lad to ever enter this section with a "frank delivery" would be a pitcher last not been able to name. Yokley soon gained the plaudits of all local fans, and became their first collegiate idol. Standing about six feet in height, a very dark complexion, and a first scouted at Charlotte, N. C., where he was hurling in the annual baseball game between Biddle and Livingstone College, before 3,000 fans or Easter Monday. Livingstone won the contest and after the gameger Taylor had a word, with the Salisbury youth and told him how impressive he looked, and that he would give him a chance with the alltime Black Sox. That was in 1926. times he would lose. Upon one occasion last spring, the Howard University team swamped the Salisbury outfit 13 to 4, and Yokley was on the manager Taylor says he will count upon "Rube" doing his bit to bring the Eastern League pennant here next year. HARLEM SCHOOL LADS SCORE IN MEET NEW YORK CITY.—The relay team of P. S. No. 88, Manhattan, composed of the following race lads: John Lucas, Albert Clifton, MAINSTAY OF STAFF That season under the掌 of Clark Yoseley, the Yoseley, rounded in n fairly good re luriefer. Then this past season climaxed the whole affair. The boy had a hurling staff. He beat all the teams in the Eastern League, and during the past season series with a white National League, he won four out of seven contests played. The famous "Hack" Wilson of the Chicago Cubs, became an easy victim for Yoseley, check out once with the bases loaded. ASSORTMENT OF CURVES As a pitcher Yoseley used what curves. He very sedum throws the same curve twice. He always gives the batter a variety of balls. This is one thing that has been instruc- tioned. He simply cannot hit the ball. Yokley is now at Livingstone College, where he is a sophomore. He has played baseball and has been playing baseball since a little fellow. The dream of being a big leaguer, never came to him. After leaving home he went to Livermore, where he played in school, just went for the team that's all. As a fignerman, he became so popular until the coach sometimes he would win, and some TUSKEGEE HELD BY ALABAMA TO TIE STEVENSON STOPPED Officials: Moore, Pittsburgh, reckon Johnson (Pask), ampire: Robinson (Oerlerin), Substitute: State Normal—Johnson, Hardy, Lewis, Jones, Towers, Fulks, Tucker—Champion, McKinney, Franklin, Adams, Joseph. MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Tuskegee and Alabama State battled to a scoreless tie here Saturday before 5,000 people, in the final game of the Southern Conference and the annual classic of this section. A dogged defense which was harder than ever kept the danger threatened Tigers in check four quarters. Time after time Tuskegee would crash their way close to the fence, but to fail back like retreating soldiers. Ben Stevenon, the scintillating broken football runner, failed to shine, and was noted, as it was his toe and that of Moore's of State went the honors. These two boys gave an impressive exhibit of Nting through the af- Tuskegee's best opportunities to score came at the beginning of the game when State Normal was defending the goal continued for the first quarter. Moore's first punts were rather unimpressive and consequently made necessary a strong defense by the Hornets at a time when Tigers were fresh and anxious to successful gains from their bag of trucks. Flashr In Second The second quarter saw the flashiest football of the game. A succession of intercepted passes kept in play the opposing team's excitement by grabbing one of Moore's passes and getting away for five yards. Fourth-quarter rushes reversed as Moore broke into the picture and nabbed Stevenson's heave. Then Stevenson's heave was nabbed Moore's heave and got away for 35 yards. The advantage gained was cut down by a 15-yard gain for clipping inflicted on the players. Except for this one flash, the first two periods found the ball eddying between mid-field and the Hornet's arm, and the second consistently when there was little to be had by so doing, but the Normal队 always managed to tighten when there was danger of a ball remaining in the ball. The ball remained in Normal's territory for the greater part of the first period. **Band Does Well** The Tuskegee band had 23 pieces and added much to the intermission and added much to the enjoyment of the battle by supplying a great brand of music. In addition to the melodies, the band included in pleasing fashion the Tigers showed a sustained drive in the third quarter, but it was short lived. After an exchange of points which let them have been before the kicking began, Tuskegee started plunging through and made three first downs in rapid succession. Bailey and Stepney of the ball went from mid-field to Normal's 23-vard line before the locals pulled themselves together and held like a rock. Bailey opened the fourth period with another first down for Tuskegee and then the air game was again successful. Stevenson tossed the ball again in pass. The play was good for 25 yards; gain Things again looked bad for the Hornets as the ball was on their own 20-vard line, but as in previous instances the Hornets held. The same rookie roster with both Hornets and desperately to score Tuskegee had another chance late in the quarter when the air game was worked again for another gain. Stevenson tossed the ball went through the air for 25 or 30 yards the actual gain was only about five. Where Thev Plav Morgan vs. Elks, at Albert. DECEMBER 17TH. Y. M. D. Johnson, at New York. Y. M.

OF ANY RAW DEAL 26 Foot Record Not Accepted On Account Of Referee's Statement SAND 1 INCH TOO LOW Broad Jumper Promises To Beat Record This Year NEW YORK CITY.—The Ama- ronut Athletic Union was made public a jumper from Dee Huff Hubbard which absolves the or- ganization from the ill effects of the impression broadcast that the colored, colored champion was given a "bad deal" when at a re- cent meeting the A. A. U. re- jected the application for his world record jump of 26 foot 2 inches made in Cincinnati, last September. The following is his statement: I follow my reservation, thejection in my character 28-foot record. I feel I should make it because of a general impression that the A. A. U. gave me a bad deal. I have not any such charges. I have learned that the referee of the meet made a signed statement on my application for an inch or two too low. I must say that that is drawing it pretty finlaugh on an actual survey, but I read in the face of such a statement by the referee. I couldn't expect it to be. In my opinion the pit was absolutely O. K. but the referee's word is hope that makes my viewpoint clear. "But you may tell the wide, wide world that there will be another 26-foot jump next year and it will be more than 26 feet 2.1 inches, too." D. C.

The visitors were the first to break into the scoring column when Gant, beautiful ringer from near to delimiter, Tampa, Georgia, and another, and soon the visitors were out in front six to two. The first half ended with the "Y" girls leading 8 to 4. The hook, which is almost an instrumental part of a girl's game, started in the second session. Vaughn and Gant were doing the bulk of the visitors' caging while Jackson were keeping the locals in the face. Near the close of the game the count stood 15-11. Hawkins sent the ovals through for four points, while in the meantime Gant and Vaughn were the winners, just enough to clinch the game.

Displaying a brilliant brand of floor play, the Athenian basketball tossers, after trailing the Howard five at the half, launched a powerful offensive in the second half that brought them the long end of a 25-21 score in a rip and tuck struggle that more than once brought the stands to their feet at the New Albert, Friday night. Carpenter. Howard center, was the first to draw blood, looping a shot under the basket in the first few seconds after the tip-up, Wyatt Immittive and Bison forward, by netting one from side Coates. Bison forward, got away for two consecutive baskets. The Athletes were hammering the rim of the basket, but couldn't make the takeoff. Allor was sent in for Lewis of the Athletes and this had Jacks livened things up by getting a bucket a piece. Johnson, Howard, replaced at forward. Both team members were in the basket and at the close of the first half Howard was leading 12-8. Second Half Wyatt under the first score of the second half and was followed by Carpenter. Bison up off man who made a free throw. Haskett, little Greek center, netted a prey on the mack and a free throw caused by a technical foul on Howard. Wyatt again got a pretty basker, breaking the 13-13 deadlock, following it with snatches in manicures. Wyatt was also followed and was soon followed by Jackson who netted a clean one almost from mid-court. Carpenter was haulsined from the game. Jones taking his place Cobb replaced Wood, Howard forward. Howard guns been firing at this juncture and made good several of their shots. Venus. Athletic mainstay guard, was pitted on his knees, his persons were secured. He was replaced by Lawson. Tring. Howard guard, was replaced by White. Both teams were with both with stains on the skinless needed every bit of energy they could muster. But the Athletic mainmen men were just before the final whistle that made the count 25-11.

Incidentally this will be a return event for the diminutive third sacker, as Francis captured the Daisies in 1920, 21 and 22. However, Francis comes back in the role of a catcher not be required to be in the line-up in regular. Francis is one of the old school players and sprout into prominence during the hey day. It was however, with Rube Foster's American Giants that Francis developed into a star and formed a part of the great infield of Grant, DeMoss, Lloyd and Roy. The owners of the Daisies share the fans' opinion and are far from satisfied with the brand of ball produced the past season by the Hill The acquisition of Francis to manage the team may be taken as a forerunner of a big shake up in the ranks of the Daisies. 50 DOUGLASS GIRLS OUT FOR COURT TEAM More than fifty senior and junior girls reported to Miss Gertrude Dallon and Mattie Frida.

NEXT BIG GAME, MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, NEW ALBERT PHILADELPHIA SCHOLASTICS The Sensational Team Ten Coaches Select 1927 Afro's All-American Bluefield Qualifies 4; A. And T., 2; Tuskegee, Howard, Hampton, Va. Seminary And Wiley One Each On Mythical Eleven Here we are, the AFRO'S All-American football eleven for the 1922 season as compiled by ten coaches from all sections of the country. For some unknown reason the number of outstanding players this year has not been as great as in the past. The caliber of the team play has replaced individualism. This can be seen through the performance of Howard, Lincoln, Hampton, W. Virginia, Wilberforce, Tuskegee, Atlanta, Bluefield and several others of the big eleven. But to a large extent the team play has little job, and this year is a very difficult one. Mental attitude, personality and ability must be considered in the men in order to estimate the value of a team. James O. Coaches The names of the coaches who compiled the 1922 selections are H. A. Johnson, Fisk University, H. B. Huies, Union; Gideon Smith, Hampton; Harry R. Jeffrey Institute; Haley Douglass, Football Official of Washington; L. P. Beym, A. and T. Jas. H. Laws, Yawkeyton; Olehner Dewar, College; E. P. Hurt, Virginia Seminary, and M. Martin of Virginia State. Each sent in his choice of an All-American team and from their selections the AFRO'S first, second and third teams were made. Starting at the end the coaches votes showed a total of three votes each for Drew and Jeffries of Bluefield and Powder of Va. Seminary. There were two players who drew two votes each, Mendendah for the first eleven we gave Drew and Powder the end positions, with Jeffries on the second team and Mendendah on the third selection. Drew and Powder were good defensively and offensively, the one being one of the best forward pass catches of the season. Lee And Gallion For lackles "Wildman" Lee of Hampton and Gallion of Bluefield topped the list. The Seasider poled seven votes, the highest of any among more than 75 players named. He rightly earned the second place for all the other men mentioned for births received only one. Lee was without a doubt the most valuable and most popular player. His use of hands and his footwork was uncanny. Lee tackled hard and upon several occasions recovered fumbles and turned them into victories for his team. Gallion of was the star of a fairly heavy line. Like Lee, he all the qualities for filling the position. Guards In the mentioning the guards, Miller of A. and T. polled four votes each for the team and Redd of Wiley tied with two each. The twelve others named received one vote each. Redd of Wiley, was given the other position, because of his terrific defensive work and ability to go through the line to take out secondary defense men when needed. Both men are considered and solid football players. Martin Center Martin of Howard and Patterson of A. and T. were given three votes each by the coaches, with Tadlock, of Tuskegee and Tobin of Union, registering two each for a second place for center position. The second team's record was not as good as the North Carolina teams, the D. C. captain is without a doubt a more fighting performer. He weighs well over 200, a steady, reliable player, and an inspiring leader, who ranks with the great tenors and all pillow eleven. Lee Calm of Bluefield was chosen quarterback of the 1927 all-star team getting four votes to three for Breaux of Union. The Institute boy was a salient factor in his success. He was much more successful pass well and run interference far better than most of the other quarterbacks named. Clark of Morgan and Wheedle, Atlanta, were among those receiving one vote. Here we are, the APRO's All-American football eleven for the 1927 season as compiled by ten coaches from all sections of the country. For some unknown reason the number of outstanding players this year has not been as great as in the past. The caliber of play has been just as high, but to this large extent team play has been the best be seen in the performance of Howard Lincoln, Hampion, W. Virginia, Wilberforce, Tuskegee, Atlanta, Bluefield and several others of the big elevens. M. Picking an all star team is no little job, and this year is a very difficult one. Mental attitude, personality, and ability must be considered in the men in order to estimate the value of a team. Names Of Coaches The names of the coaches who compiled the 1927 selections are. H. A. Johnson, Fisk University; H. B. Hucles, Union; Gideon Smith, Hampton; Jeffrey Institute; Lester L. Fowler, Football Official of Washington; P. Burn, A. T. and J. Jas, H. Laws, Prairie View; Charles Drew, Morgan College; E. P. Hurt, Virginia Seminary, and M. Martin of Virginia State. Each sent in his choice of an All-American team and from their selections the AFRO's first, second and third teams were made. Drew And Fowler Starting at the ends the coaches' votes showed a total of three votes each for Drew and Jeffries of Field and Powder of va. Seminary. We were drawn over the whole width of Wilberforce and Ruffin of Union. To break the triple the first eleven we gave Drew and Fowler the end positions, with Jefferies on the second seat and Wilberforce on the third. Drew and Fowler were good defensively and offensively, the former being one of the best forward pass catchers of the season. College Lee And Gallion For tackles "Wildman" Lee of Hampton and Gallion of Bluefield topped the list. The Seasider polled seven players, including the captain, named. He rightly earned the captainship also. Gallion got five votes while all the other men mentioned for births received only one. Lee was the only player to be named. His use of that uncanny. Lee tackled hard and upon several fumbles and turned them into victories for his team. *O* was the star of a fairly heavy line. Like Lee, he had Guards In the mentioning the guards, Miller of A. and T. polled four votes, while Anderson of Union and Ridley of Wiley tied with two each. The twelve names named received one vote each. Redd of Wiley, was given the other position, because of his strong defense. Both men are to take out secondary defense men when needed. Both men are considered solid, gold football players. L. F. Martin Center Martin of Howard and Patterson of A. and T. were given three votes each by the coaches, with Tadlock, of Tuskegee and Tobin of Union, registering two each for a second tie for the center berth, as the second party elected Martin, allibened by Martin's team, not as good as the North Carolina teams, the D. C. captain is without a doubt a more fighting performer. He weighs well over 200, a steadily, reliable player, and an inspiring leader, who ranks with the great centers of past hilltop elevens. Cain, of Cain, field was quarterback of the 1927 four votes to three for Breaux of institute boy was a salient factor in his. He was smart on the defense, threw rain interference far better than most hardheaded players, Morgan and ta, were among those receiving one vote. Stevenson And Coleman old honors went to Coleman. A and T. Stevens, Stevenson, Tuskegee, four and Graves tur, Williams, of Hampton, Lane of A.ashington of Union received two votes named on the second place defensively and a good punter was kick back. He teams well with Coleman who are both good broken field runners. Cain of Bluefield was chosen quarterback of the 1927 all-star team getting four votes to three for Breaux of Union. The Institute boy was a salient factor in his success. The team was able to pass well and ran interference far better than most of the other quarterbacks named. Clark of Morgan and Whedoe, Atlanta, were among those receiving one vote. Stevenson And Coleman The backfield honors went to Coleman, A. and T. who won five votes, Tennessee, Tuskegee, four and Graves of Bluffee, four, Williams, of Hampton, Lane of A. and Washington, of Ohio, Lane of A. each and were named on the second and third teams Graves, a great defensive player and a good punter was given the backfield back. He teams well with Coleman and Stevenson, who are both good broken field runners, fine interferers, shrewd defenders.

SHIFTIEST BOXER DIES POOR IN NEW YORK SHIFTIEST BOXER DIES POOR IN NEW YORK Young Griffo Fought Dixon To A Draw In 1894, Outpointed By Joe Gans, 1899 WINE HIS WEAKNESS NEW YORK CITY.—The passing here last week of Albert Griffiths, white, *Young Griff* who was a long-time ever drowned on a glove, according to all experts of fistiana, has caused old-timers along "cauldron" memorial encounters with "Little Chocolate" George Dixon, then featherweight champion of the world, and one of the acknowledgements. On June 29, 1894, "Young Griff" and "Little Chocolate hooked up in a four-round contest that resulted in a tie. The two were excitable exhibitions of ring science ever witnessed by a light audience. 20-Round Bout By the fall of 1894 the voice of the ring matcher in a return match between the two that they were matched for a 20-round fight at Congee. The match had much real work to do to make the ringside at 122, but was more than compensated in boxing skill for what he lacked in strength as a result of the loss of Dixon forced the issue. Despite his aggressiveness and plenty of punch, the little boxer could not land sufficiently to put the Antipodean to sleep. By the end of the 15th round, George was outplayed by the taller, fled up a sufficient number of points to compete the judges to call the scrap a draw. Joe Gans. In an eightth bout in 1899, Joe Gans, the greatest lightweight of all times, outpointed the "artful dodger" from Australia. Gans won the story that Griffo" used to love to relate was how he was introduced to Joe in one of the big places in Philadelphia, held up. Died Poor Youna Griffo was a victim of "the wine when it was red." He not only looked upon it, he fell upon it both fervently and then death, deafened, livine, having lived in a little back room subsisting upon the charity of a lone woman for 10 years.

Telephone, MADISON 4474 SPECIAL ATTENTION GfvEN DISEASES OF STOMACH AND NERVES Baltimore sorety is marking time, The usual lull which comes query year to lve matrons, time, t do thelr Christmas shoppine;, youne men a moratorium in which to save for their presents and debs and sub- debs time to get thelr pretty things together, has slowed down ‘social functions. ‘But when the holidays set in there are several big affairs on the caten- dar which are expected to make this one of the most memorial social periods of the year. THE HALF CENTURY CLUB Of course, the Half Cen Club wil give lls annual dance. This af- fair fs always one of the real society events of the yeaz. In a manner {t sets the pace for the ellie, These gentlemen, who have passed the 50 fark, aways show the younger set tho times of their lives with an ex- clusiveness which makes them know they have been some where. "Nothing has been allowed to leak out authoritatively as how they will distribute their invitations, but it Is said a few sub-debs are to make their first bid in pociety at this affair. PHI DELTA PA ‘The Phi Delta Kappa Sorority 4s to hold its national meeting here during Christmas week. That, _of course, Means numerous affairs. Let ‘us hope also that the Baltimore ‘young gallants will not let the youns ‘women Who come here from all pa of the country find this a “hick” town s0 far as social affairs are con- cerned. Baltimoreans are for the most times so busy entertaining “me and myself” that, tay sometimes: forges we have visitors In our great city. The Phi Delta Kappas coming here Christmas are not only “up there” in Intellect, but they are easy on the eyes. OTHER APFAIRS Last year every dance hall in the city was eageged Jong before Christ- mas time and the “Auroras” and “Just Us" clubs just could not find places to give their affairs. It comes fo us, however. that the “Just Us" ns will stage a novel dance this hristmas. ‘The “Auroras” got theirs in before Christmas. Either during or shortly after the holidays the Adelphians are planning one ‘or two of their usual surprises. Of course, the sub-debs. and here in Baltimore “sub-debs” are “sub-debs”. will have a flood of house and matinee affairs. ‘The W. W. Bridge Club, which, by the way. includes such names as Mesdames Grafton Browne, James Hall, Anna McMechen. Mascelia Smith, Joseph Ford, Vashti Murphy. J. C. Carper James Carter, Pendle- ton Parrott, Alfred Knox, Nelson For- tune and the lone single member, Miss Sarah Fernandis, is planning some kind of a pleasant surprise for their husbands. To make matters harmonious, it is whispered that Miss Satah Fernandis might be more eli- ble by the time the affair comes YULETIDE MARRIAGES Usually there are a number_of guletide weddings. Well. they say. that Baltimore has some surprises coming this Christmas. Sigma Adds New Chapter NASHVILLE.

One saw everything from the rich leopard skin coat to the mere sweat- ler; from the Jersey sport dress, to the shimmering evening gown. ‘This matter of clothes isn't confined to the Women either, one with half an eye could sce by the appearances of the Gignified gray spats covering modest patent leather, and _ the double breasted | Prince’ of, Wale coat, not to mention a flash ‘scar! and’ occasionally a black fur coat. that the men showed just as. much variety in dress as did the women. While Ike Dixon and his banc tooted out the latest hits, and while the crowd waited in cage anticlpa. Hon for, the game to be on, one could have adequate time to observe some of the wearing apparel. ‘A number of the Howard co-ed ‘were resplendent in evening gowns. protected by various Kinds of fn goats, Thelma Johnson even though Small, wore a green plaid sport dress and 4 silver gray caiacul coat.

CHARGES HUBBY, MAN WITH NON SUPPORT CHARGES HUBBY, MAN WITH NON SUPPORT Five Children, Two Men, And One Woman Problem For Judge A case which proved almost as perplexing to Judge Ulman in the Criminal Court as the famous case which King Solomon had to decide in olden days was unravelled here Friday when Mrs. Carrie English, 422 N. Dalton Street and her alleged lover to court on a non-support charge. In her testimony Mrs. English accused her husband, Lazarus English, of falling to support her and three children. In the next breath she pointed to Clarence Streater, 400 N. Dalton Street, accused of neglecting to support two other children of whom she claims he is the father. Men Admit Two Each When questioned by the court, both men admitted parentage of two each of the children, but one of the children was not when the jurist, perplexed, ordered each man to pay $4 per week for his share of the family. English, who was working at Conowingo when his wife caused his arm injury, and who was one of the unclaimed child was a man now living in North Carolina, their former home. Streeter testified that the father was a man now living in North Carolina, and that he fused to further straighten out the tangle, and the court decreed that until that was done, she could assume responsibility for its support. It was brought out in the queer domestic huddle that Mr. and Mrs. English first lived in Hamlet. N. C. and went from there to Fairfield. S. C. It was here that his wife became infatuated with Streeter, he said. In an effort to save his family he moved to Baltimore, where Streeter came to Baltimore later, he said, and Mrs. English followed him. English came here later at the request of his wife and, he said, established another home on Dallas street. When he left her and went to Baltimore, he and his Streeter also being in town, she had him haled into court at the same time.

MALONE SPEAKS AT ZETA LUNGHEON Poro College Head Urges Cooperation Among Women Of Group WHAT WE HAVE MISSED These More Important Than Things Done "We spend too much time complimenting ourselves on the things we have accomplished in the last sixty years and not enough on trying to find some of the things we have missed," declared Mrs. Anna E. Malone at the luncheon of the combined chapters of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority at the Penn Hotel, Saturday "We complain," she said, "of unfair treatment, but make little effort to understand the other fellow and thereby keep him from understanding us. Understanding cannot be gained by agitation, but by cooperation." Mrs. Malone urged the group to dismiss all discord from their ranks and set out upon a single objective, declaring that personal feelings and disagreements are only helping those who wish to keep us apart.
