It publishes herewith without charge and without comment a letter from the scene of the crime. The first story said Wood was lynched because he punished the white man to take him and two young women companions in his house. This did not sound like Dizze, so we awaited the true story. Here it is. Wood was lynched because he tried to keep two white men from going on a wild joy ride with two colored women who were his franks. It is necessary of course to hold confidential the name of our correspondent. WHITESBURG, KY., (By Mail to the Afro)—"The cause of the lynching of Leonard Wood."

C.—Cordelia Townsend, a New York white woman, director of Red Cross Work in Melville, La., has been removed. The Mississippi Flood Relief Auxiliary Commission headed by Dr. R. R. Moton filed charges against Miss Townsend with Secretary Hoover last week. Miss Townsend ignored colored refugees in giving out Red Cross supplies and refused to recognized authorized workers, sent to assist her by the Auxiliary. Meeting With Hoover The Auxiliary Commission met with Secretary Hoover last week. It described what it termed "bad spots" in relief work. The Commission found landlords refusing rations and building supplies to their tenants altogether. Other landlords were sold. Selling Red Food supplies to tenants who should be received them free. The Commission is also faced with the task of getting ignorant and backward delta tenants to apply* for needed materials to rebuild their homes, for stock and implements to do their farm work. In some cases supplies have been exhausted by whites who outfitted themselves in fine style and "dared" colored folk to apply for aid. Dishonest floors have been found and distributed supplies in some a way as to make political friends for themselves. Want Colored Aids In its recommendations the commission asked that colored Red Cross representatives be appointed in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana and that they be appointed to the actual Red Cross records and that a new order restructuring instructions that supplies be given directly to tenants instead of landlords, be given.

S. in "Opportunity Magazine," December, 1927, says: "One of the most outstanding achievements of Negro journalism for 1927 was the AFRO-AMERICANS undoubted publishing of MORE NEWS and this MORE EXPERTLY TREATED than any other colored newspaper."

WHITE WOMAN EXPLAINS VISIT TO MAN'S HOME "Sought Eggs," Says Eliz. Radcliffe Who Claims She Was Assaulted LEWIS THOMAS GETS 15 YRS. AT ELKTON Three Judges Sentence Prisoner Whom Kent Island Nearly Lynched ELKTON, M.D., (Staff Correspondence)—Following conflicting evidence given by Elizabeth Radcliffe, a white married woman, as to the motive of her visit to the home of Lewis Thomas, whom she charged with assaulting her March 12th, the latter was sentenced to 15 years in the Maryland Penitentiary by three judges sitting in the Criminal Court here Tuesday. The case, which almost precipitated a lynching when Mrs. Radliffe first made her charge, was taken from Queen Anne County to Ekton for trial and Thomas brought to Baltimore when Kent County whites made a demonstration of mob violence. According to the first story told by Mrs. Radliffe, Thomas assaulted her in his home where she had gone at his request to aid his sick wife. He was arrested and a charge of rape placed against her. Ekton this week, however, Mrs. Radliffe changed her story, declaring that she had gone to Thomas' house to get some eggs. When she went into the house, she said, Mrs. Thomas made advances when she repulsed her and then asked her to be counsel. When asked directly by counsel for defense if Thomas succeeded in his attempt, she stated that she was not sure just what happened. She only got free, she testified, and left the house in a disheveled condition. Witnesses said that she was seen from the house with her clothes disarranged. It was also brought out at the trial that the two families were on friendly terms, and often exchanged household necessi- Declares Innocence Thomas declared this. Thomas was not but the woman came. Make no attempt to assault her, she left the house and immediately made an outtry. Witnesses for the defense, two of which were white, testified to his character and declared that he plenied reputation in the motherhood. The case was submitted to the judges without arguments, J. H. C. Legg of Centreville, and James Evans, of Elkton, both having and the defense appalled, testimony given, but held withheld until 10:30 Tuesday morning. Thomas' trial was orderly, no demonstrations such as followed his arrest being in evidence. He will be sent to the penitentiary the latter part of the week following the close of the December term of court.

C.—Are the two Albert Armstrongs who served in the world war one and the same man? That is the question the War Department and Veterans Bureau have been asking themselves. They think so because the second Albert Armstrong was drafted after the first was discharged. First Armstrong A bill for the relief of and compensation for Albert Armstrong. a patient at the Tuberculosis Hospital. was introduced in the House on last Saturday by Representative Thomas Butler, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Naval Affairs committee. Armstrong enlisted in Pennsylvania. He was sent overseas with the Three Hundred and Sixty-Seventh Infantry of the Ninety-second division. His company was commanded by Capt. Hamilton S. Fish, a member of Congress from New York. He was found in a shell-hole wounded and shell shocked. He was returned to the United States as a casualty. After he had sufficiently recovered, he was honorably discharged. Soon after this discharge another Army Infantry was drafted and sent to a southern training camp. He deserted and was apprehended, courtmartialed, found guilty of desertion, and sentenced to serve one year in the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., and to be dishonorably discharged from the service. completion of his sentence. He later received treatment for tuberculosis. This case has puzzled the officials of the War Department and of the Veterans Bureau. They do not know whether there were two Alberts strongens in the army. Whether Armstrong the honorably discharged soldier, and Armstrong, the deserter, are one and the same person. The War Department unofficially admits that there is a mass of incomplete records and that it was possible for a soldier to be returned from overseas. Armstrong this mind derailed by shell shock and to be drafted into the service. GIRL WAITING TO FLY The Rev. Hal T.

A. Rogers tells the story of the black Napoleon who fought continually for fifty years in W. Africa and successfully held off the armies of France for eighteen years of that time. Says Rogers: "Samory, West African conqueror, was born at Bissauandougou in the basin of the Niger, about 1830. The subjunct, 'The Black Napoleon of the Sudan,' was given him in recognition of his great military skill by the French commanders who fought him for fourteen years. 'The warriors of Samory, were many of them armed with the latest style of rifle from German, English and French armies. It was said that he got these weapons in Liberia and Sierre Leone largely through the confluence of the powers named." Samory ran into the French in 1861, and from thence onward there was almost continuous warfare between the two. Describing one of the battles, he wrote: "Meeting him at Kokouma, Col. Archibaud repulsed him and captured his capital, Bissardougou. Samory's army numbered 30,000, a vast number with modern rifles, and 2,000 cavalry. The French force was much smaller but had the advantage of artillery. Samory had only two small cannon, and the French were taken from the British. These were served by captured British natives. La Grange Encyclopedia (French) says in part of him: 'Samory, great artilleryman, had a long time with France for possession of the Souden. Handome, of splendid height, very intelligent, and an amusing, courageous. Unhappily for him, he crossed the path of France from the Senegal to the Niger when France wished to ascend the mountains and found Timbubué. The war between us and him commenced in 1881-82 and lashed until 1898. "Having thus strugged very cleverly by Borgnish Desbordes, Combes, and after having lost his capital, Bissardon in 1801, he abandoned the Niger, who had the coast to the east, the country of Kong in the region of the rivers. Here he built a new empire from which he was driven by France in 1808." KENTUCKY'S RICHEST WOMAN IS DEAD LEXINGTON, Ky. Dec. (ANP)—Mrs. Betty Patterson, who is known as Kentucky's richest woman of the 1980s, leaving a son, Robert Patterson, her only child.

Betty Patterson was the father of Robert Patterson and had him educated in Europe. Ala. K. K. K. Celebrates Victory In Parade BIRMINGHAM, ALA. (P. N.

YOUNG BLOOD NEEDED IN PRESS-MRS. COOK WASHINGTON, D. C. "Ingrating young blood into the staffs of our newspapers is an important condition and increasing our educational advantages", said Mrs. Coraline Franklin Cook, prominent educator and clubwoman. "The trouble with Negro papers is not that they are Negro papers, but just that they are newspapers and not Negro papers. This result we get a lot of gossip and scandal. Enough of the bad of us is to be bad from white dailies; from our papers ought to give us the Women Responsible But because most news is openly an appeal to women, Mrs. Cook declared that colored women are largely responsible for the sort of stuff that is printed today. She continued: "It should not be assumed, however, that women of color experience in women's clubs. I know that many of them dislike it. And the fact that they have not registered their disapproval does not excuse the papers for not trying something better. We put on the table for our children to be well written and worthwhile." Enlist Young Minds Enlist Young Minds" "There is one big thing papers make that it would increase their circulation. That thing is to enlist the young minds that are about our colleges—that is, in Washington, in Nashville, in Atlanta ta for instance. Suppose the papers would get to you and ask what they are doing, what they are thinking? Do you not see how much that would mean?" This statement was based on the assumption that the peculiar position of the prophet in this book interested in news of hope, and of betrayment. Educate Children Mrs. Cook also said that our newspapers could do something in helping to educate Negro children. They might create sentiment or education materials. According to Mrs. Cook's theory, newspapers, while working to create funds themselves, might arouse sentiments in the Negro population and spend on useless display. She then recalled that some papers had taken this stand in regard to the Elk parade last week. She said, "I do not think that the same thing applies to the Elks parade however. They are doing some educational work, and they know that when I saw that rain and that regalia, and the people marching undaunted, proud, upright? I said 'Here are the people who express the race of the people expressing itself. The Elks won't run, they 'fight.'" H. U. Is Featured On Ins. Calendar H. U. Is Featured On Ins.

STUDENT Graduate Of Dental School And One Time Dentist To Mikado DR. WISEMAN TALKS Tells Club Foreigners Must Feel At Home WASHINGTON, D. G.—The Carribean Club is one of the most important of all the clubs of the University." So declared the Dr. Daniel Wiseman, an alumnus of the University, and the GRAND OLD MAN of foreign students when he addressed the club at one of its recent meetings. Dr. Wiseman impressed on all present that the West Indian must not feel himself a stranger in a strange land. He felt that he could speak with authority because he himself had come to Howard more than four years ago upon the urge of a go-to-Howard idea. He said he soon found friends among some little fellows' who are now none other than Kelly Miller, professor Geoffrey Cook and Dr. Trudruss and others. In addition to these friendships, Dr. Wiseman recalled contacts with the founder of the University, Geh. Dr. Wiseman became in touch with another Dean Balloch of the medical school, and with others of the early workers at Howard. As his mind passes from one scene to another, Dr. Wiseman became in touch with the early days, and the many different countries represented at Howard from year to year. He said that he felt that few people knew what General Hl Yabi of the Japanese army was once a student at Howard, and a graduate of the Howard dental school. Later he became official dentist to the Mado. More other graduates of foreign birth have also made enviable records. Dr. Wiseman concluded by saying: "Anyone who has a motive must color or birth need be no bandage."

Dr. Harrison also travelled widely on lecture tours, going from Mainz Sunny South and half way across the United States, leading to large audiences of all races. Literary Critic Equally as broad and effective were Harrison's literary efforts. Early in 1907, he began writing literary criticism, and so contributed to The Herald-Tribune. The N. Y. Sun, The New Republic, New Masses and the Christian Science Monitor. In 1912 he was appointed the Director Pict. Vlag.

Known Everywhere As Soap Box Lecturer Who Made People Listen THRONGS AT BIER IN FUNERAL PARLOR In Later Years He Addressed Crowds In N. Y.'s Big Lecture Halls NEW YORK CITY—The shadow of Dr. Hubert H. Harrison's mortal existence has been foreshortened into eternity; there appears now but the perspective of his memory. The distinguished author, editor, lecturer, and humanitarian, accele- fied faded out on the screen of life, Saturday opening, December 7, about the lives of the 19th-century man who was due to perennial complications resulting from an operation for appendicitis. Harlem, his beloved Harlem—for he loved it and cherished it with love—was not stunned. That he, a man who but short time ago converted Seventh avenue into "The People's" University, and made the streets of the Heights section sacred temples for learning, is not to speak to them nor walk nor counsel with them any more, seems beyond their belief. In the trinity of their sorrow, the Flower of the Tiger Flowers have gone just before they feel that their cup of sorrow has been filled to the overflowing. Harrison Had "It" the color, or the "it," if you desire that symbolic, suggestive epitheat—characterization—which Florentius used in his realism, and Tiger Flowers in the preuring, was unconsciously and thus the more effectively brought by Inubert's visual activities. For him to stand before the crowd, wherever it might be, or however turbulent it might be, he must change to interested, unindented attention. Throngs At Bier Throngs flocked to the funeral parors of A. T. Saunders, 106 West 138th street. From Monday afternoon on Friday, the remains of Harlem's own Harrison. There were no cemeteries or pump nor splendor. There were on expensive surroundings. There was only the two cemeteries, like his two recently depicted contemporaries, Flo and Tiger. Harrison was not particularly well endowed with the material side of the world's capital. He was a philosopher, a scholar, a seeker after light—lines not guaranteed to enrich in terms of the dollar sign. But with the homage of lonesome, right-handed, his simple bier was right-heddy. Corn In Virgin Islands Hubert Henry Harrison was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, lands, April 27, 1883. The islands were then a Danish possession. He was the first Danish governor of Coecela Haynes Harrison. His early education was obtained in the Danish government schools, and he attended the "under-teacher" in the public schools. At the age of 16, in 1889, he see sail with a group of Danish servants on a ship. He was the first time was spent in Denmark, where he studied at the University of Copenhagen, and then he continued Arrived In N. Y. In 1900 1900. Dr. Harrison landed in New York City. He worked in many and varied capacities for seventy successive years, including a elevator operator, a messenger, a clerk for a Japanese Pan company, and a U. S. postal clerk. During these years, however, he was rounding out his formal study. He enrolled in the New York Evening Classes, and in economics, the classes, especially Latin, and in Literature. He thus enriched and strengthened a mind of great native genius and great interest. As early as 1911, Harrison found the work of postal clerk too narrowing and stultifying, and he left the job upon educational and literary work. In the earlier stages he taught. Great Orator It was during these early years that he began his work as a street lecturer. He spoke on many and the few on few, and fervor; but in a language of chastic simplicity that carried conviction to all his hearers. White and Negro masses alike, were enthralled by the intensity of his intellect. One of the local panors speaking in characterization of his work at its height said: Whenver the Mr. Harrison speaks the crowd, Mr. Harrison lectures. Lecturer For Scool Board Shortly after the great World War, Dr. Harrison was made a staff lecturer at the University of Education. Some of his best lectures, were "Some Literary Beauties Page Six THE AFRO-AMERICAN An Independent Weekly Newspaper A Champion of Civic Welfare and the Square Deal Published every Saturday in the Afro-American Building, 628 N.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER I see before me a number of young men, strong, brilliant and capable, men of brain and activity, and as brave as the bravest; men fit for any task, the best how fast or many barriers there may be in the way. This strength, this brain, this energy, this capability must be put to work, to the kind of work beftaking men, the kind of work men only can be. This force must be however a united force, a force for uplift, a force for upbuilding, a constructive force, no other kind will avail. Christmas, 1927 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into neaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and ponded them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find and trapped in swaddling-clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. Councilmanic War Two white city councilmen fought at a political meeting last week. One was carried to the hospital and took pains before leaving to get a doctor's consent that he would drink of each said the other was infroxicated. The councilman in the hospital, J. James O. Mea, weighs 125 pounds. His opponent, Frank P. Bush, who soaked him in the lip, weighs 200. If our colored councilman, Messrs. McGuinn and Emerson, had gotten themselves in such a mess, some of our white friends would have suggested that such a mucker fight proved the race should not have political representation. However since Messrs. Busch and O'Meara were both white, the question is why should a 200 pound heavyweight pick 125 lb featherweight to fight instead of some one in his own class. Rubbing It In A number of paintings and caricatures of black Frenchmen, black Britishers, black Jews, such as are found in Haiti, were placed on exhibition in the Alshiee galleries of New York recently. They are the work of three artists who accompanied Explorer William Beebe to Haiti on the tenth expedition of the New York Geological Survey. The work is done in crayon, water color and oil. What the Haitian think of the display is told by a Port au Prince newspaper, "Le Novelliste," which declared. "If there existed a leper settlement or sanitarium for paralysis it is certain that this painter would certainly go there in search of Haitian specimens." The newspaper added "that no government would tolerate its soil more than 24 hours at a time of this kind. It is the duty of the government and the police to prevent these paintings from getting out of the country." They got out and are exhibited in New York chiefly because Uncle Sam has Haiti by its threat and has added the art of caricature to that of electing Haitian presidents and killing Haitian citizens with the aid of United States marines. College Dance Hounds If the AFRO-AMERICAN were asked to recommend a college Greek letter fraternity today, it would say without qualification to young men "Join if you can the Phi Beta Sigma." This is one of the youngest college fraternities, organized long after the others had picked over the field and selected all the "very best men." For the benefit of our lay readers we explain that each college fraternity always fools itself by saying its members are the "very best men" in the college. Our judgment as to quality is based on the official notices these fraternities have sent out for their annual conventions which meet Christmas week. These announcements were printed in last week's AFRO. Here's one from Alpha Phi Alpha. Tuesday—Smoker, buffet supper, exclusive Metropolitan club. Dance 10 P. M. to 2 A. M. Wednesday—"Dance from 10 until." Thursday—Formal dance of A. K. A. Friday—Annual prom, "dawn dance" 12 to 4 A. M. Saturday—Banquet. This gives us some idea of what a college fraternity is. The notice concludes as follows. "In addition to the above there will be numerous other parties, receptions, breakfasts, games, ideas, card parties, theatre parties and dances." We have mentioned the Alphas specifically, but a Kappa man of Chicago describes the regular meetings of his fraternity as called for 9 A.M. There are also several ice-fed liquors, cards, smokes, eats until 3 A.M. If there are any tea and dance hounds in PBI Beta Sigma, you cannot tell it from the official notices, which explain that fraternity's efforts to send a commission will also be with the Fraternity's interest in a nation-wide business week celebration and name important men who will address the convention. Everly here is one college convention where dinner jacket and dancing pumps are not necessary. Call VE rnon 6016 When Experts Fall Out Dr. C. H. Steptheau in the course of his sermon at Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday morning declared that members who joined the A. M. E. Church took the obligation not to dance or play. "Whatever we think about the advisability of the church rescinding these regulations," Dr. Steptheau said, "the fact remains that they are still in effect and that members of this church have obligated themselves by their actions." Hardly six squares away, Dr. James F. Bragg, rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church, quoted a great Episcopallian who succeeded in keeping the denomination from regulating amusements. "The prohibition law" on round dancing was termed an eleventh commandment unwanted because it was already hard enough to keep the ten given by Moses. When religious experts fall out on a proposition of this nature, the layman is justified in accepting either view with perfect propriety.

I entered Roanoke at night, at the end of a long day, and I felt the presence of an inhabitant in Roanville country. For that reason there is still some question concerning the cause of the first impression of this mountain town. But it is such that one can easily understand the contaminating influences of anti-bellium and reconstruction Virginia never had the fullest affect upon isolated Roanoke. Rugged mountains developed rugged men, hence the name of Roanoke. The contaminating influences of large tracts of and made powerful landlords impossible, hence the spirit of freedom and democracy. When the war was over the region embracing Roanoke had lost little, having it to be mad at the men of Negroes, making the lives of other sections foolish. J. C. Station Year Old It is a miracle that Roanoke did not sit with the rest of Western Virginia. Since she did not have a room, she had to GINIAN would call it "progress." Jim Crowvis in the railway station is an infant one year old; her growth has been abnormal. A year ago she was in the waiting rooms, now there is no limit to the freshly painted signs. Some say that this condition was caused by the babies' dressing their babies they forget to take up薪 garments. Others say that PURITY forces from the Richmond section brought pressure to Working Men Wear Overalls Roanoke is a working man's town. I have never seen so large a proportion of men who wear uniforms. Railroad furnishes employment for thousands of the honest toilers. Freed from the extravagance of "Society," families of the most common employment live in beautiful and comfortable homes. Credit Negroes with 3,500 tax tickets, whites, 29,000. Professional and welfare forces with intelligent purposes and decent motives could build a thriving community, having normal individuals with which to work. Big Bill Crowell "Bill" Crowell is easily the most striking individual in colored Roanoke. He is a three-hundred-pounder, more or less, to the playing children. Every secret order carries his name, and he its policies — a big man in a small town. "Bill," Little Bits, "Crowell" are called out loudly. Everybody in Roanoke has a friend and everybody, an enemy. Small town gossip and news-pressing shops are divided only by a few steps, but neither boss is curious about the other's physical condition. The two drug stores represent the most famous pastors has broken off from all fellowship with his brother Baptists, but he is still strong with his church. Dumas Hotel, operated by Y. Cooper Anderson, seem, however, to be on neutral grounds. The fact is that they are surprising improvements over what went before them — a clear hotel, a large restaurant, where many more are needed. City Library The city's Public Library for whites is just a few months older than the branch for colored. It is a quiet, quiet place, a lege of reading some of the best magazines and most up-to-date books. The Outlook. The Literature Review. The Journal of Negro Life, School and Society; these are carried in current, as well as bound, copies. On the new book shelf are found the Reconstruction of Virginia"; Lewis Brown's "This Believing World"; "New Voices"; by Marguerite Wilkens; Countee Cullen's "Caring Dust" and "Copper The Children's Department of this Library is not developed nor is it maintained in fact none on the main Board — in this selection of the books. Miss Hortense Mills, Hampton Institute Library Co-ordinator. The "High School" has been principally by one woman for forty years, until the end of last year. All natural evils are satisfied by the High School equipment and courses. H. C. Hammond, A. U. and The University of Pittsburgh, succeeded the former Principals as capable of making some needed implemen Bluefield Bluefield is a marked success — located in West Virginia, bearing the sign of a different state from Virginia, this little "sassy" village set out to prove that there was nothing a man could do in Virginia, in many respects, she out-Virginia Virginia. Nature has so twisted the streets that segregation has never been achieved. It is necessary to use almost — not too much — here. Here is where Jim Crowmish both stops and starts — stations are open, south bound trains are sectioned. Relations would be better were the harrow across the Virginia border and actually come over in spirit. Bluefield consists of few people — less than four thousand. Negroes — many professional men, scores of churches and minors, a few doctors, a pharmacist, make up the list of medical men. Three Baptist Churches, two costing $30,000 each and estimated at $5,000. Included among others are the A. M. M. E. Zion. In the Episcopal Church, the Mother and protesting Daughter of the Holiness Church, and others that time will not allow to mention. All of these brethren are struggling; struggling for a place in the Episcopal Church, for denominations and, when time and energy are left, for the cause of GOODNESS. There is one hospital in Bluedef. The Providence Hospital, owned by Dr. Clarence A. Rogers and Dr. James A. Rogers. The former operates a race institution, affording opportunity for the practice of surgery by physicians. The latter operates under contract with a white hospital, serving miners' hospitals. The hospital has been operated on by white surgeons and hustled thru the streets while still under the influence of ether. Groslow's Drug Store compares favorably with any competing stores, operated by whites. It serves as a sort of center of information for the town, free, however, from leafers, and the town's police. Kruskow is a young man, a graduate of Ohio State and has lived in New Jersey. The village of 20,000 people is still talking about the town's Institute. The whole town shares in the achievement. Do You Know? The Weight Of A Bale Of Cotton? Cotton when picked is called "seed cotton"; the weight of cotton is called the cotton gin, where the lint is separated from the seed. It is then compressed into bales of an average weight of 500 pounds, the weight recog- nates in cotton exchanges in contracts as a commercial bale.

Roscoe Simmons Dublin, Mississippi Our white people, busy trying to protect their "color" while operating a government built on MAX, have their hands full again. From Dublin, situated on the "dog," ten miles east by south of Clarkdale, Mississippi, five miles west of Towler, finds itself newly famous. Chinese to the Pacific are trying to find it on the map. The Supreme Court at Washington will have to work for Dublin, one of the riddles of China? Be patient with our white people in their distress; deal gently with them, since you know, as wise men among them know, that they can hardly hope to win a fight against right. I miss Mississippi court, the Coahoma court, says that a Chinese boy is "white" when he starts out to school. The supreme court at Jackson says "No." He, the white man, will have provided a yellow and brownish people, he will have to step over to that side when the school bell rings. Now Mr. Taft and the eight great men, who think deeply on great question, have their hands full. They would be more full if they were asked to determine what a Japanese is when he is at home. Good. Go on. A treaty signed years ago between China and Uncle Sam. Mississippi doesn't pay much attention to treaties, but Mr. Taft will have to look over. He will have to fight a strip of soil all your country, you find Chinese merchants, rich, progressive, who often make white merchants step around lively in the world of trade. Both Chinese and white merchants are involved in people who are arguing and coming from church to pay much attention to stores. The question in the record is the color of a Chinese boy. The question of CCT is sometimes difficult, few know. Chinese thinkers might send a picture of Confucius to important people of Mississippi. Yes, many would say, we have heard of him, but we know how strange looking Giannman, could that be, Ladies Make War Here are two letters touching ladies. The famous Tribune of Chicago opened its columns in South. A lady wrote that the South was right in the war, is now right, was always right, and that the North knew it. She wrote strong words, as only ladies can write when believing in it. You may wish to preserve these letters: Quincy, Oct. 11, Oct. 1 in the Tribune of October 5, with quite a little amusement, the tirade of Mr. Muppets's over F. S. Stewart's letter to the Tribune. I have traveled through ten southern states in the past year, talked with them in regard to the Civil War, and I have the first one to see that bears any enemy insignia. I was in Houston, Texas, and met Gen. Foster, the commander of the confidence veterans, and a number of national encampment at Tampa. This is the universal expression of the men that did the fighting: "The women of the south try to keep up the bitter feeling engendered by the war." That letter was signed by John E. Andrew, former Illinois commander of the Grand Army. Then S. F. Stewart takes his pen in hand. Evanson, Ill. Oct. 4. I am glad you published your book in today's Trilune. Her statement, "Our cause was right and should have succeeded," is in full record. She said that the government did not end with the war. Confederacy, and goes for towards proving that dissolving to our government did not end with the war. The old Gilt Oil skates are still, as always, controlled by a "dominant minority," and are led or greatly influenced by the United Daughters of the Mother, who colored people back in slavery. That is the cause she thinks was right and for which they fought in 1865. These letter writers are important people. Nothing you did not already know will be found in the book. Although they may keep your nose on the grindstone, you have to take off your hat to ladies of the South. They teach the world to understand the power. They represent the POWER of womanhood. Douglass Monument The towering monument to Stephen A. Douglass, that stands at 5th street and the Lake in Chicago, was built 10 days ago. In came the corporation counsel of Chicago and held that the monument is public property. You ought to sit down and read two or three of the Lincoln-Douglass debates. Mr. Douglas thought you ought to have been enslaved. Mr. Lincoln thought freedom belonged to you and down the state they traveled and argued. Mr. Douglas asked Mr. Lincoln the usual question: "Would you want your daughter to be shredded with his answer: "Because I may not wish a colored woman for a wife is no reason why I should want her for a slave." Books, much as many of your "leaders" do now. Mr. Lincoln argued out of reason. Then came Mr. Douglas' death in 1861. His admiration for books, the highest in Chicago. Where do you think fate placed in? In the heart of what you hear spoken or as "the black bell" in the famous poem "The Blues." In the hands of freemen, owning all the property around his home and tomb. And now the city threatens to sell it because the city is not God, wonders in HIS workings? As soon as this last line is dictated to the teacher, the student will papers in helping this humble writer try to serve you. this writer will walk over and take pictures of this monument. Man proposes but God disposes. History 6. The trainers of the American Historical Association train its guns on William Hale Thompson. If you can get hold of a picture of Mr. Thompson, put it in the parlor. Further on he will have a "race side on" shirt. He will be on the side of the Time seems to work over him. Don't be surprised to see him in a higher place than "Mayor of Chicago." . . . These are big words as written by that Council—but you can handle them if you take your time! "In the opinion of this association the clearly implied charges that many of our leading scholars are engaged in treasonable propaganda and that tens of thousands of American school teachers and officials are so stupid or disloyal as to place treasonable text books in the hands of children is inherently and obviously absurd." After using your dictionary on that paragraph, consider this one: "The successful continuance (was ever a continuance not successful?) of such an agitation must inevitably bring about a serious deterioration both of text books and of the teachings of history in our schools since self-resnective scholars will not stoop to the methods advocated." Sounds like one of your big words users, does it not? Mayor Thomson, bravest American in public life will be able to handle both King George and the American Historical Association. Further alone attention will be directed to what is taught, millions of children about Lincoln, Grant, and the Union Army. How to keep you thinking you aren't so much while making the world think Lincoln is history's greatest man, isn't so easy. But our American "historians" are able to carry water on both shoulders. Fighting Alone 9. That great newspaper the New Orleans Times. Times is a good source for flood control. Page ads are taken by that newspapers in big, northern dailies to attract consideration of Congress, money of the state, and the people. As your "home," give the South your best wishes and hope the Times-Picayune success. These newspapers are in big type at the top the T-Pa page ads. THE SOUTH CANNOT FIGHT ALONE Very true, is is not? The South fought the T-Pa page ads. The South is capable of pouring out over it. It was a flood of tears and blood. It overran all the land. You can still see its path.

To the Editor: Despite Mrs. Margaret Lillendahl's alibis it has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt before the Mays Landing court of justice that two degrees did not murder her husband on account of her Such white women as Mrs. Lillendahl have caused many innocent Negroes to be lynched or sentenced to the electric chair, when they knew nothing of the crime which others committed. May she and her reputed lover, Willis Beach remember that "the way of the transgrosser is to kill her former husband is their penalty." Lawyer Hinkle, the New Jersey prosecutor, thinks the electric chair should be the maximum penalty for her murder. It will kill Lillian GVENS, 565% Orchard St. This Reader Does Not Use "Sub Deb Chatter" and Saxe St. Point Blank. To the Editor: I am an interested reader of your paper, and I want to tell you that I am great deal of your interest in my reading of its rating. The columns run by Mrs. Lottler and Mabell Chew are a credit to the paper. The "Sub Deb Chatter" by Non-Volunteer editors should cut it out. What is he trying to do, to imitate that abominate "Dance Fan"? Such expressions as "always hot and just won't quit anyhow" are not offensive but too bad" are offensive to intelligent people. If the paper is to maintain its high rating, the authors must that its writers do not stoop to common vulgarism. J. HAYWOOD BROWN, 1743 Ashland Avenue. This Reader Takes Issue With V. F. Calverton's New Christianity As Victory Expressed On This Page. To the Editor: There appeared in the columns of the AFPRO-Journal in the article by V. F. Calverton, in which he says: "The Negro in clinging to Christianity handicaps his intellectual advance and economic progress. I wish to summarize the mortality of the soul, while intellect and economics are only for time, but Christianity is for time, but Christianity is for time and eternity, therefore they cannot compare." But has this Jesus, this Christianity, that justified the bondage of the Negro? The hallowed scripture was adduced as evidence that Christianity was a descendant of Han. He was cursed by God. Christianity carried out God's will by the perpetuation of the symbom of slavery. In his statement, Mr. Calverton shows his ignorance of the Bible. God did not curse Ham; it was Noah who cursed Canaan, Ham's youngest son. Ham had four sons, which were Canaan, Ham, Noah, and the Negro is descendant from Cush, and not Canaan who was cursed. Congratulates N. C. Principal Who Wrote Us A Letter Last Week Declaring He Was Not Ashamed To Wait On Table For Whites After School Duties Were Done. The Teacher I wish to congratulate Mr. Louise H. Hall, principal of J. C. Price School, Salisbury. N. C. for his firm convictions, fearless of ridicule. The number of those who are willing to follow their own opinions to stick to relegated theories are relegated to desisture and labeled as "old fashioned." And, for this reason many desert their honest opinion and follow the crowd to escape being ridiculed. I am reminded of a very timely article I read the day before. "One should not necessarily mold his thoughts and actions in conformity with the majority. One should not necessarily mold his thoughts and actions in conformity with the majority. Other words he must be able to paddle his own canoe, not simply move down the current with the driftor, nor change his course too quickly. He should not worry about worthy craft shouts advice.

We had more principals to teach our youth to dignity labor and to know that work is honorable. (MRS. LAVINIA M. WEAVER. Asst. Prin. Norcom High. Portsmouth, Va. The Bible, He Believes, Is A Jewish Scrapbook Writer, Nonmythical Writer. Were There Examples of Fishermen and The Like, And Has Neither Head Nor Tall. Not being unfitfully unaware with the content of the Negro in these United States, I am naturally disgusted with the tenor of an editorial that R. C. Simmons wrote in the last issue of your paper. The caption of this article is The ability of Mr. Simmons is well known to me. His literary efforts have always evoked interest. He is a man of great intellect, am therefore, surprised and disappointed that he credits the Bible for giving the Negroes their liberty. These ancient Hebrews, who were not able to conceive of a society without slaves—even in Paradise. Of this world they are not concerned. They brand as sinful the Christian religion. They are not concerned. They brand as sinful the Christian religion helped give the Negro his freedom, should refer to the bobks of that famous book. "The Bible is the main pillar of slavery." Belief in the Bible has no relation to the plight of the Negro. The most superstitious deities Tennessee, Texas and their sister states. Does this belief help the Negro? Hardly. In Tennessee it makes them more important than any other state, and scientific thought of the day. In Texas, the player of cards in public places is made a felony. Will no attention at all give to his belief? Will argue, will cause one to spend eternity in Hell—whatever that means—the burning of a few Negrons is not so important. Orthodox belief in the Bible will give more interest in his dream-world beyond the skies than he is in the material present. How can such a state of mind lead him to bury prejudices against him? The question. The Holy Book has never done anything toward destroying prejudice anywhere. Consider the believers—the whole group of a deity who do not believe that those who do not believe? New York City is less religious than Tennessee. But New York is not less fair toward brethren of darker hue. We cannot upon any consideration give religion As for understanding the Bible—most of the Books are anonymous. The known writers were comparatively ignorant men—fishermen and the like. They were living in an age when most natural phenomenon was accounted for by superstitious tradition. They were superstitious; they were credulous; they were ignorant. How could such men write anything intelligible? They couldn't and didn't. As a result, they have left us what might be called a Jewish scrapbook, with neither that nor tail. It is not probable that Mr. Simmons was earnest in his article. Most likely it was merely a gesture to satisfy the unthinking public. But even then, his attitude was wrong. A leader should labor not to increase but to destroy mental inactivity. 1907-4th St., N. W. LONDON KING Washington, D. C.

A Sad Mistake The night before Christmas I loud rang the bell Of a maiden named Gladys, in whose arms I fell At the twist of the doorknob, but ah me, how shocking It was my eyes to behold the huge stocking She handed me smiling—asking me sweetly To carefully hang it on the chimney placeably Askance did I look at the maiden whose profile I'd admired and whose lips, warm and doole Were molded for pressing—but still her silk Did leave me uneasy, titanily mocking The measurements mental I made of her knees. With fear in my heart I approached the maid slowly And finally did tell her in voice meek and lowly.

JONES Scientific Advance And Provident Hospital Among the many advantages that the good hospitalization assured by the phenomenal success of the Provident drive should bring to our group in Baltimore are opportunities for race doctors to advance medical science and the Baltimore Medical center of development of this profession in America. Although we have skilled surgeons, abiognosticians and specialists in practice, we have yet to produce a group of professional surgeons. We have not had access to research work to make great discoveries. There have, of course, been reasons for this. The economic background has caused most professional men to make the commercial aspects of their profession objective, and we have not had access to the research hospitals. Looking the fact square in the face, however, we simply have not produced medical men with the pioneering attitude necessary to creative knowledge in this field. The hospitals of Europe are as open to Negro medical men as they are to the Japanese, yet Japan has run all over us in scientific knowledge. But let us hope that, with a completely equipped hospital as the Provident will be there will inspiration for a number of young medical men to make some important disciplines which will force world recognition. Walking into a Northwest Baltimore coal dealer's office this week, Raymond Lewis, 1703 Laurens street, found a 60 year old woman seeking to buy 10 cents worth of coal she planned to cook her days meal and keep warm. Filling her little basket with coal the dealer smiling told her to keep the dime for a Christmas present. She had a sumptuous banquet board this Christmas; when you revel in the satisfaction that you and yours have all the world's goods to make you happy, it will be a good time to picture in your mind this 60 year old woman with ten cents in her pocket—a world of ten cents to take Lulan Lottier's advice and give something to some one from whom YOU DO NOT EXPECT A PRESENT. Help Divorce Evil With 180,688 divorces granted in 1929 and the number promising to mount higher and higher this and future years, long distance thinkers are wondering how to relate relations this bibleless globe with our great grand children are coming of age. Last year, out of every six marriages one of them broke up in a complete divorce, and two of them were married realizes that the courts do not get one half the cases where there is family breakdown, it is time to be seriously concerned with this vital problem. Prof. W. P. Ogburn, of Chicago University has suggested that science come to the rescue. Religion is failing, even in the Catholic and Episcopal churches, to keep dissatisfied couples together. Women are making enough money to keep in touch with those phases of separation for the protective motive, there are but few clinging vines. Our "society" has become so democratic that it is no longer necessary for womankind to marry for advancement and for marriage for the family, much it has been about slices to pieces. With our growing industrialism, men, too, are finding married life less binding. Homes, buildings, and gardens are being built and amusement. In fact what few institutions our growing and complex commercialism has left are being taken by the State. The city directed nurse steps in a few minors and a dentist and physician looks after its physical welfare and the commercial amusement harms look after its amusement as soon as it can be done. About every prop except affection and sex attraction has been knocked from under the marriage altar and when most boys and girls pass through our highly spacious and well-furnished apartment with impassible movie life and become obsessed with the idea that life means a swift morning panorama of clothes, Ruddy Valentino hugs and kisses, and shadow dances, few of them to take care to devote themselves to one well ordered home. Professor Ogburn suggests that just as we have applied science to disease eradication, we might call in Sociology. Physiology and technology to help us eradicate the divorce. Perhaps some of these days Mary and John will be able to take a course in the history of sociology which will quench this most important human function to unregulated instinct. Cutting Melons Newspapers this week announced the proposed cutting of $400,000 from Federal taxes, as well as big corporations out of the country to amount extra dividends of the same amount. All of this sounds like prosperity, and would be good for the country to pass through so many and devious hands. But up in Detroit, the very seat of one of the biggest industries in the country, hundreds of poor people, caught between two cities by forced sales. Here in Baltimore many home buyers are on the verge of a financial crisis. While the government is lending money taken from the poor to people in the cities to people in three per cent and giving them 40 years in which to pay it back, that same government is allowing the city loan sharks and the bankers to exploit labor of 11 per cent in home buying in cities. Up in Massachusetts an unholly combination of Northern capital and southern sentiment has led to the exploitation of exploited labor of Dixie, while the Navy Department is getting ready to harness the country up to another billion dollar ship building program. There is plenty of prosperity in this country and there should be a hungry working person. The troubles come in proper governmental management. Why not a reasonable rate? Look And Learn 1.

There is a definite rate of growth in the normal and healthy persons and it is possible, however, that shaving makes the beard grow faster for a different reason. Shaving tends to irritate the skin somewhat and causes increased flow of blood to the shaved area. This is the nourishment of the hair follicles, and this may cause the beard to grow stiffer and heavier, and perhaps faster. It is widely believed, with much truth we do not know, that this increased flow of blood will heavy a beard as he would have if he shaved a few years and then stopped. : aturday, Dec. 24, 1927 call VE ron 6016 ~ .

Waddy Says Present Stage Nudity Is Disgusting Petite Star Says They Prefer The Suggestive "There is no dependability in show business, and for sure, more you have. You have every cent you want." It was Blanche Callaway speaking—petite and winsome Blanche of Baltimore, who has forsaken local confines for Chicago. The death of her grandmother brought to Callaway here last and she has decided to remain over until at least the close of the holidays. "Must Spend Money" "But certainly, Miss Callaway," we curtured, "you headlineers are drawn down enough money to enable you to lay aside a little for incline- ment we see the substance of the whole thing," she replied emphatically "You have to make appearances keeping with the money," she told me. We stage play in the public eye all the time. Often the public surreally we are making more than we really are. But even when you're making good money you spend it to keep appearances the public demands. It would have been an entire place for the late social affair Mills have appeared at a clothes. She had to wear cheap or she kept with the money, popular in that she had created for herself. So with others who are making even less. Miss Calloway believes that the year 1927 has witnessed a great slump in the theatrical Producers. She neglected a golden opportunity when they failed to keep going the momentum given the stage by shows like *Along* and *An oppose of like nature may be degrade or more in return, she says. The reasons for this seem to fall on shoulders of the public producers. Too many and acts have copied rather than creating acts or shows for themselves. The public of the hand, is to turn out as they are to turn out for a show at a colored house but will flock the galleries of white houses to see the same performers or even poor initiations of them. **Indulences Hard** The little star then cited instances in which the same shows, after playing several weeks at the theatre only to hold off reception. She told of unappreciative audiences in which little children, after dance number, the theatre only to do that. Artistic productions are booed, she continued, only the openly suggestive type of shows seem to meet with approval. Following out this thought, Miss Calloway said. "The present use of mudity on the stage is the most artistic mude finding, not fully appreciated by audiences, producers, instead of trying to educate the public, especially application, that mudity was tumult to it as a laugh producer.

ROLAND HAYES IN PARIS VILLA, READY FOR CONCERT TOUR ROGERS FINDS ROLAND HAYES IN PARIS VILLA Great Tenor Says He Achieved Success When He Quit Worship Of Whites 1928 TOUR INCLUDES ALSO SOUTH AMERICA His Next U. S. Appearance Will Be In The Fall Of 1928 PARIS—Hearing that Roland Hayes, who is resting here, was about to start on a European tour, I arranged for an introduction thru Mr. Lawrence Brown, and had the pleasure of meeting the noted tenor at the villa in Neullu where he is staying. Inquiring as to his tour he told me that he had several engagements in England, France, Italy, Hungary, Austria, and elsewhere, which he has through the winter and thrugher. He must then go to Canada in the year, to South America in the summer, and back to Paris in the autumn of 1928. He has been a life of great hardiness overcome, with all his difficulties he told me, by no means all accounted out now. Maintaining a reputation less easily difficult Gwens 800 Aceres he was born in Gilley, Gau. He on land that he had been bought by his mother from the man who had owned her people, the original owner of the land. The remainder have been purchased by Hayes, himself, who with poetic justice, plans to buy an order to give some of his people the opportunity he had craved as a boy. Moves To Tennessee At the age of fourteen his mother took him with her two other children to Cattalones with its better educational facilities but with arduous trips at going to school and working in the iron fortress. In the meantime he had been learning into knowledge of his former friend, Caleb Callow to go to Fisk University where he remained four years, while he was asked by Fisk University to ship with others at a miserable movement. This proved successful that he gave himself the first half years. "Discovered Himself In 1918, but it was not until 1918 that fully found myself," he said, "it was then I discovered something I would have ever given up. I would have given up my worship of the white man, that I would have to work at my highest ideals be and work in my new tool, I went away in 1918 with my new tool and found that it had set me much better than I thought it. First European Tour First European Teenager On April 1, he sailed for England, and one year later, on that same date he was "commanded to sine before their Maltese at the insham Palace. The Enchanted Castle in the museum, the artist ranking with the best, and offers of engagement from America began to pour in, institutionally of one from the leading concert stages in America, to whom he had personally applied some time before, and who had been a friend of one of the leaders of ancestry. He told me that of the appearances he had made, the one that stands out most in his mind is first one in the Town Hall, New York Rerital In Munich Recital Tril Munich Havest the prince had even in Munich and of how a certain German Prince came to him, marvelling that Hayes, the prince, had a point of his the prince's class. I forget what he said was his reply. I was too busy thinking up my own ideas, but I remember that Hayes had said earlier to the effect that his policy, so far as music went, was to imbue of cream of the milk, and that culture, although always, further than true culture could not be put on like tarnish but tursins from the innermost depths (one's being and that regardless of Believes In Doing Believe. When I told him whether he would care to say anything to the folks in America, he replied that he did not believe in talking or in giving advice but in doing so, doing. Nevertheless his policy of silence with the probability of being misunderstood seems to trouble him somewhat as he several times referred to him as a person who would make some pronouncement on the race question. I assured him that in my country he sensible Nero excelled that of his role of artist; and that besides it was necessary to have some field to us writers, speakers, and others of lesser brilliance. I assented. He was done more to break down race prejudice than a large number of us together were able to do by writing and speaking. "You do an interesting amount of good for all the people who are not conscious of it," said. "O" he said quickly. "I am conscious of it all the time. My people earn more money." "This he did ask me, however, and others coming to Europe not to be too content with the absence of color prejudice they met among the bourgeois but to work hard and be nervous themselves alone as Nephilim themselves and women. 'Don't come and ask the people. Seek knowledge and not people. I know Europeans. Very few of them meet the people. I ask you, if I have done that it is what I have done that has forced them to take me in. I don't abuse their generosity, see their ways, and take unto me only one builds one's best that makes for supremacy." Follows God Within He went on: "I follow the guide that God has given to me, the God that is within me and each man can achieve in his own calling if he TESSIE TISH—Zero Is Nothing.

He then "appear on the stage," he said, "and encourage to have this ideal so projected that the people see my work rather than myself." On the mantlepiece was a large picture, a landscape which I learn was the site on which he intends to build the institution of learning, already mentioned. As to his plans he would say nothing, saying that he "would wait until the time came and then act." Turns Down White Aid He said, however, that he had received service of a day on white persons and that he had written them thanking them and assuring them that if he needed their help he "call on them." But, said he "that call on I would in real life's work, and I am going to do it all. As a people we have asked alms too long. Why ask alms when that will open any door?" Two Hours And A Half I talked with him for two hours, and he was the party of friends to the second Robeson-Brown recital—and I left him. Ambassador Who said that we were not represented in Europe, we were not. In Hayes we have an ambassador not only to a single European nation but an ambassador to all Europe. His popularity continues. Of his record in England, the London times said: "His 'Pur deceti,' showed both charm of voice and finish of style. His example of pure mezzo-voice singing than 'Der Jungling an der Quelle. His spiritual he brings the authentic note of sincerity and inspiration." IN CHICAGO THEATRES GEO. D.

I know that we may know where you are. Merry Christmas, folks, and may a happy New Year be yours! Single Showfolk A showman recently remarked to me that the number of married couples in the show business is increasing. "It is encouraging sign," he said, and "doing much to elevate the moral tone of the stage." He was in elaboration of his belief. Many men and women in the show business have been married but have been separated by belonging to different families. He assures us that for them to try to appear in the same company wherever possible or practicable, there are many members of chorus girls, he said, are married and quite frequently are married to the show musicians. This condition, he explained, makes it more difficult for roof folks, he believes, have fewer distracting diversions and are consequently more dependable than single people. He also said that companies outside the ranks of the companies with whom they appear. They can be counted on for rehearsals and shows and are considerably more temperate in their social acti- There you have in a nutshell, a viewpoint that is being expressed by numerous shoppers by single performers who insist that their cakes and coffee are endangered by the increasing number of married couples. These people can be seen as the income of two people often are underbid because the married couple will work for less having a larger gross. Some people fold in the show business are raising the morality of the stage is simply a matter of conjecture. We do know of instance on our website of a woman who folds a note to a match. But that's neither here nor there. The question is highly controversial and will not permit any absolute conclusion—at least as If the presence of married people on the stage is going to help in raising the morality of the theatre, all well and good—that is, if these married folks have talent as well. Strange to say, the theatre-goals public seems little concerned with showfolks' morals, for most folks believe them to be a rather bad lot. You know the old argument. Theatregoers are interested in seeing good performances, and if single people best their married associates in the art of entertaining, they cry "bring on the single folks", and vice versa. The ultimate aim of the theatre is entertainment and when we bring in morality we stir up an awful rumour. If we can incidentally boost the moral tone of the stage, all well and good. But if we start with that aim as our prime objective—well, glass houses, castles, stones, and The Show Public There will no doubt be a number of producers and actors, who at the very least think about theatre audiennes. They will say that the theatre public does not know what it wants. It wants to be going public is a nickle thing and can change overnight. One thing is pretty certain. Theatre shows and their taste is constantly improving. Producers might well take cognizance of this fact. On the other hand, producers may be rank poison for another. An actor whose company was often booked at two different houses in the city, changed his type of jokes and acts as he moved from one theatre to the other, because the tastes of the two houses which he played, were widely divergent. Yet I have seen and acted actors whose lines fell flat on the opening day come back the next day and they don't get a big hand. They have never stopped to consider that an audience in Podunk is different from one in Hoboken. They can of burnt cork has afflicted some of these people with the belief that they were comedians. Using the facial make-up entirely up to date, you can with fresh gaze or to improve in any way. Little wonder they fall fat in some towns. It would be a mighty challenge to see these people who are so severe and caustic in their arrangement of the theatre-going public to resolve to feel the pulse and take the temperature of certain types of amusement. That's what good doctors generally do. PRIZE BEAUTY NEW YORK — The charming Miss Brown of Harlem's prize beauty winners. of Harlem's prize beauty winners. IN FILWLAND IN FILWLAND HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

NEW YORK THEATRICAL MARKET OVERSUPPLIED NEW YORK THEATRICAL MARKET OVERSUPPLIED Married Women Increase Problem, Carnival Man Tells Afro THOMAS MASON HERE With "Broadway Vamps" At The Lincoln Theatre That the New York show market is facing a decided oversupply, is the belief of Thomas Mason, carnival man, whose new production, "Broadway Vamps" is playing at the Lincoln Theatre this week. The increased number of acts and companies being formed in that city has led to the increasing number and the resulting competition has forced numerous persons out of employment. In many cases, there are a large number of performers playing in white companies and the various picture houses and theaters have been denied opportunities to display their abilities and still others are now owned from their jobs or workplaces. M and S Theatres M. and S. Theatres The M. and S. Theatres Mr. Mason declares, are using sets and companies of not more than 15 or 20 and have given employment to many, Mr. Mason says, don't get out of New York but play a continuous round over the M. and S. route. Chief of these theatres are the Noe De Noe, New York, and the United Brooklyn, and the American (Lodi, N. J.). Bookings for this circuit are handled by Jack Landis, white. Mr. Mason's show takes 12 weeks over a A. J. Street Contracts Because of gluttony market, the higher priced companies are meeting with stricter and stricter regulations in New York. Mr. Mason cited the instance of one well known company that had been booked to play an engagement but only under the stipulation that they stay at least 150 miles from New York before playing a return engagement. The company believed between the company received a liberal offer to play an engagement within the restricted territory, and not thinking particul- tively the agreement accepted and had gone into the theatre for the performance. The manager with who met him out, however, and came over during a performance and demanded that the show live up to the contract or not, had to be called off and the producer by doing some quick wiring and telephoning was able to place the show in a neighboring state until it stipulated time of option had expired. Married Women Married women, declared the producer, are on the increase in and around New York in the show business and are accepting even the smallest parts in the show. A good percentage of these women, he finds, are not really pressed for money, but want to get the thrill or that notoriety they can muster through a connection with the stage. Another group includes those women who have husbands in the show business and who want to be near them. The fact that most of these couples have no children makes it doubly easy for them to travel about a large number of women are thus thrown out of work and as the bulk of them have to come to New York from the South or from eastern states it is imperative that they find something else to do for a livelihood. There are many men out of work too. Continue Producing Shows are continually being produced in New York however, Mr. Mason pointed out, and mentioned the importance of the role of Dan Michaels. Many shows are playing around New York, going on the road for a month or so and then re-arranged and sent on the road again. Mr. Mason, whose speciality is carnivals, expects to reorganize his troupe and re-arrange the road again. In his promotion of indoor and outdoor amusements he has employed as many as 100 people at a time, believing that the combined interest will find placement for many new at liberty.

Listening In Baritone Sings Spirituals WBAL Walter Linthicum, white, l'eal baritone, and soloist for the WBAL Trio, assisted by that group, presented a program of unusual Negro spirituals on Wednesday night from 8 to 9 o'clock. His numbers included "Water Boy", by Avery Robinson; "The Old Arts A-Moverin"; "Lil' Gal" and "Me and My Partner" by Lily Strickland. In addition Mr. Linthicum sang "It's Me" and "I Wish I'd Died In Egypt Land" both numbers arranged by Gustav Klemm, program supervisor for WBAL, who arranged three spirituals especially for Roland Hayes. Henderson On WOR Program Pletcher Henderson and his Roseland Dance Orchestra will be heard in programs of the latest dance music from WOR Friday, December 23 at 11:05 p.m., and again on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Sacred Program From D. C. Church On WRC Beginning at midnight Christmas Eve, Station WRC, Washington, will broadcast the solemn high mass, sunday evening, at Washington.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa.-A big musical and educational program was presented over WGBS Thursday afternoon from 2.05 p.m. to o'clock, with music by the Durham Conference.

Ms. Williams sang, "Somebody Knows At Your Doe" (Dett), and the quartette favored with "My Lord What A Mourning (Dett) and 'Holy Night.' Mr. Henbey again sang, this time two songs, "My Native Land" and "My Native Land." Miss Amanda Randolph was at the plano during the evening. Mr. Calvin told his radio audience of the race relations in Durham and asked for help of Negroes there for managing their own affairs. Children's Hour Perhaps one of the best children's radio programs that will be given Christmas Day is the one arranged from Station JL New York at 8:30 m. The complete program contains 21 numbers and during the course of the program all of toys dear to the hearts of children will speak to themselves with the French word "Mamal Papal" and the teddy bear and the toy trumpet, as well as the wax doll who will recite The Got. The camper and jumping packs will tell their own stories as well as the rag baby and the toy piano. Unlike the rest, the Japanese children will sing a love lyric to the rocking horse. Milton J. Cross will hide his usual cheer face behind the mask of Santa Claus and will sing for the seven children in the audience of "JOYLY OLD St. Nick."

Where the complete management of properties has been placed in our hands every interest of all concerned has been carefully safeguarded. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Fire Insurance has been placed with the country's most reliable companies,—able and willing to pay in case of loss. Added to all this, we have given Free Investment Advice to scores who have profited highly through accepting it. "The Idea was a correct One."—For 1927 has proved our biggest year. To you, People of Baltimore and Maryland and Elsewhere, for the magnificent success which has been ours, we are deeply grateful. BUT, We Are Facing A New Year!! Our New Plans Are More Ambitious.

"Nothing too large; nothin' small." 3 We want to very greatly increase the volume of business in our Fire Insurance Department, and thus safeguard a greater number against loss by "fire" of the property they have accumulated.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md—South's Biggest and Best Weekly 59 MISSING PERSONS STILL NOT FOUND 8 Girls And 17 Boys On The List Of Accounted For At End Of Year AFRO FOUND THREE Many Others Of the 121 persons drifting into the port of missing men and women this year, 59 have never been accounted for, according to records in the office of the Bureau of Missing Persons. There were 62 who were either found or returned to their home. The AFRO-AMERICAN is given credit directly for the finding or return of three missing persons during the year and indirect credit for finding a large number of those reported. Eight Girls Of the numberv who seem to have dropped completely out of life were eight young girls whose ages ranged from 12 to 17 years. The youngest was two year old Robert Allford, who was stolen from his parents at 235 South Dahlah street and has never been heard from since. The oldest person lost was James Collins, 80 reported missing from his home in Edenton, Md., and on the list of permanently missing was one minister, the Rev., John Bush, 65, 2554 Madison street. Analysis of the reports show that married men outnumbered all others in making their sudden disappearance. There were 44 men while only 15 women disappeared. Many of the men have gone to other cities seeking employment, it is believed. As most of the young girls who left home took their best clothes, it is believed they left for other cities seeking thrills. Those still reported unaccounted for in the Bureau are as follows: Charles Mair, 39, 801 E. Mack. Charles Martin, 46, 814 Sharp. Bam Owens, 49, Spartanburg, S. C. Alfonso Peek, 13, 402 Durham.

Undertaker Declares Himself Summoned But Not Arrested. In answer to your issue of last week concerning charges preferred against Jesse W. Redden, 436 W. Biddle street, as of December 14, 1974. The man never been a friend of mine, but our acquaintance has only been from a business standpoint. It is true. I buried her husband, from whom she was separated at that time. My services were acquired by her and I know her previous to that time. I was not arrested, but summoned to the police court. Not having seen her for a year and a half, nor not knowing her residence at this time, I seems evident that she played on the sympathy of the court. I beg to state to my friends and the public in general, that should I want a wife, I think and hope I can get one better than the one who preferred the charges. It is a case of common courtesy mistaken for love. Respectfully submitted, JESSE W. REDDEN, 436 W. Biddle street. Telling your fortune in the tires "You are going on a long journey."

Passion's Price ```markdown ``` Page Fourteen WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN CHAPTER I Dick Lee, Baltimore youth, receives a letter notifying him that he has a half-sister who has been orphaned in Chicago by the death of her This chapter tells of the boy's sister and the manner of his father's death. CHAPTER II A raging wind drove a frosty mist from the shores of Lake Michigan and whipped it to State street. It whirled about and formed little whirpools and tiny blizzards in the corners of steps and at the curbs. It was stinging, this hall-laden wind, and it cut like a tongsman's knife. All Chicago had taken to shelter before the fury of the storm; and the raging wind had its way in the deserted streets. It was cold, hard, and the color of the snow and half the blinding array of the snow and half made the streets almost impassable. For an hour or more, there was not one person to be seen on State street. State street, the home of crowds, was deserted. It was three thousand and one amusements; its boiling hub, where black men and white women meet; where rody gangland laps over into the peaceful city; where race, light, creep are all represented, and in the representation are merged! From the depths of the blinding blizzard a dark form staggered down, like a snow filled screen. The wind shook it and played with it, like a baby rattles its toy. It buffeted it, and at times turned it about-face, the dogged shadow pressed, the shadow became a man. He stumbled into a cross street, one of the Thirtes. The wind tossed his coat behind him, and all but fore his hat away, but the dogged shadow pressed, the shadow became a man and stubborn, so that one, if anyone had been there to see him, would have thought his errand more important than life. He arrived before a shop. A woman entered the shop, determined that he should not ente!! It hit him with all its fury, whirled him away, beat him back from the door; but every time the man patiently hung himself at last, turned the knob entered the store. There was a merchant seated there, before a gas stove, but the man who entered strope past him, nor indeed, did he seem to be in a room, a doorman in the back of the shop, passed through and closed it behind him. He was now in a corridor that led to an elevator at its end. There was hot and heavy, but the man, did not turn down the collar of his coat, which had been raised against the fury of the storm nor did he lift up the wide brim of the offender's coat, to protect his eyes. Straight to the elevator he went, and that was the only place to which the corridor led. It had but one entrance, the doorway of the shop, and but one exit, the elevator. Fat by the wind, now sagged limply over the gaud bones of his body. He was as thin as a rack and that small visible slit of his face was baked into the wind, now sagged limply over the elevator up to the elevator, before which sat a sprightly mulatto. He was dressed in a close fitting uniform of the operator's wear, and he made a devilish dance made up as an elevator boy than the real thing. At a fast motion of the gaud man's hand he hopped into the cage and bore his passenger upward. He held him, and if the man had spoken to him, one felt sure that he would have launched off into a gay and slangy repatriate. His passenger, however, was silent, and so he contented himself with the elevator. He deposited the visitor at the second floor, looked with a grimace at his empty palm, and went whistling downwards, dropped out of the car he was immediately confronted by a stocky, fellow of pugilistic mein and yellow hue. A broad face, pricked by small slanting eyes, gave a hint of a descent from Confucius; but he was no trick. Chinney, as one could tell from his sanguine hair. He faced the newcomer without blinking and without a ghost of a smile or welcome. The man lifted two long sticks, executed out a singsong sort of a jargon. At this Chinky turned and unlocked a long narrow door that faced the elevator cage and beckoned the visitor "once." The man passed inside and heard, Chinky lock the door behind him. At that he smiled, spite of his grimness. As if that mattered! He smiled once more as he surged to his side, moving more to his liking had himself arranged the occupants. As he had thought the place was nearly deserted because of the storm. It was, and furthermore, the occupants all had their ears to the door. He was glad of this luck also, not that it would have made any difference in the accomplishment of his purpose, but that it gave him an opportunity to look about, to see interesting place, and in it interesting people. The room was long and spacious as a ballroom. Handsome window draperies, shaded lamps and gleaming mahogany controlled the fenced living room. The man in the doorway, however, knew that the mirrors lining the walls concealed cupboards housing telephones connecting with the various tracks. The man in the corner unfolded into a bookmaking equipment. He knew that the leaves of the central library table hid a roulette wheel, over which men, and once himself, sat until the next table. The tables were usually surrounded by men and women too, who shot dancing dice across the polished surfaces. When they cried "Shoot you a nickel" a fifty dollar plopped on the table; the reloaded dice were picked up a century note. Flicks the tone of the place. Even now, there were two sitting at one of the dice tables and throwing the cubes, too. Not freemzing, but so white that her skin seemed pallid; her hair was straight, naturally blonde, and long; for this was long before hair bobbing orgy, and for this was long before she sat aside for she wore a short ballet skirt, was brown, although pale with the unhealthy pallor of the city dweller, who opened her eyes to the world. Her features were crafty and when he smiled, as he was doing now, his teeth cut a flash of white across his dusky cheeks. The man in the doorway recognized him, the employee, the manipulator of the late wheel. The white, slim fingers of the woman dropped a pair of dice on the table. She poured a small amount of the cream into the companion. She flung the dice again, smiled this time, reached for her lover's wallet, took a bill and stuffed it down her bosom while the man smiled his indulgence. Likely thought the man in the door, she would be a dancer from the Black and Tan, who had run over for a few minutes with her beak between dances. She put her coat which she had wrapped over her scant costume before braving the storm. The spectator's eyes shifted to another couple. They were facing him, and had he raised his eyes, he would have noticed him standing in the door. Instead he gazed down in the face of a slim girl who lay in her. Her proffered a cream-colored coat which his dark skirt, displayed the rare, pure beauty of a medallion of a mediaeval saint. But saint she was not, for her face was painted in those of a woman with a label; her women's skirts reached to their ankles, her slender rounded leg showed to the knee through a slit in her dress. Her brown fingers held a cigarette in her hand, her darkened ear of the youth who held her. She drew on it, then puffed the smoke up into his face. In mock anger he grasped her by her shoulders and shuffled braids of her black hair swept the cigarette stubs on the floor. At another table two men played cards. One was dark and bulky, and smiling, for he was winning. The other was was- and smiling, for he was winning and faced his rixs—was Scali Scala, the man whom he had fought the tearing winds to meet! Scala, for whom he had stayed off death, until he met Scala! Scala, who would now answer for all his past misdeeds and what was Scala? He could have been brown and white, but a life that prevailed to colorlessness. He could have been a white man, weather and sun-beaten to tan; as n's Price UISE CAMPER a lad he might have played on the shores of the Mediterranean, judging by the classic nobility of his features; and, from, the sleekness of his hair and softness of his eyes, he could have been an East Indian. No one, not even Scala, knew what race had bred him; and no one knew the dens and haunts of his kind in every town. Certainly the hodgepodge of humanity drifting into his place for a round with Lady Luck asked no questions of him who presided there. As the visitor gazed, Scala looked at him. Then, before recognition, or fear, or anger, or any other emoion mirrored on the man's face, he looked at her. Then, after the death of the man's overcoat, and Scala fell back dead with a neat little hole through the exact center of his forehead. A perfect shot. It should have been, considering how often the grim man had practiced his knife, but he had fallen down at his side. Even in the stuffy shooting gallery there had been the mental target vision of Scala's high forehead. The smile set on the black man's face. The wife girl screamed and drew his brown shirt under her. The youth lingered up and ran toward the murderer, but the slim flower of a girl who had been in his arms, leaped toward Scala and drew his setting body close to her arms. And the murderer, Daddy, you don't dead, speak to me, Daddy! O my father, my father! Her slim body fell across Seala's and she watered his hair with her tears. She swayed in an agony of grief and her wailing voice rose. Her distended eyes rolled about imploring for someone to tell her that this thing could not be real, that it was a dream. As they fell on the calm murderer the doorway, she jumped in and ran before her, shaking him as at his throat, shaking him as the wind shook him, clawing him as a tiger claws, with deep strokes that left streams of blood flowing from his mouth, shaking him as the screamed, cursed shrilly, "You'll die for this, you grinning dog! I kill you, myself, with my bare hands!" and she would have had not the compassionate man caught her in his arms and soothed her fury. His murmuring pity allayed her anger, and sorrowfully she turned back to her dead, but sobbed. He did for it, he'll pay for his father's death. At this the man burst into a coughing laugh, the effort of which caused a bloody mist to spray from his lips. Then he knew why he laughed until he looked a month later, quite peaceful, in his bed in the prison hospital at Joliet, with a pale trickle of blood oozing from his lips and the look on his face of a man who has satisfactorily completed his mission of life and is entirely willing to pass beyond. Dick Lee, in Baltimore, read the flaming headlines that told of Seal's murder and turned him into a hero. He said that the bullet that ended Jim Seal's life would change the entire course of his own.

Home Education Home Education WHAT THEY WANT MRS. NESTOR NOEL As Christmas draws nearer and nearer, we plan to give presents to our children and their little ones. I have often heard the expression: "It is not good for children to have what they want all the time." Of course not, all the time, but some people seem to think they want. I think that at Christmas we should try to give our children those gifts which are nearest to their hearts' desires. Even Santa Claus in our large department stores has such child, "What do you want for Christmas?" Take the case of your little daughter, perhaps you have the thing you want to have a certain book to read. An aunt inquires, "What would May like for Christmas?" You. full of your own idea, mention the book. This is not what May wants; it is what you want. If she be a normal girl, she will probably say, "I want a doll." Perhaps she has several dolls. Her father laughs at the idea of giving her more. You her mother, ought to know that she really wants another doll. You should see that she gets it. Perhaps you, yourself, want a necklace or a ring. Does your husband say, "You have several rings." If a boy wants an engine, why give him blocks? One should, however, be sure that the child really knows and wants to play. He will ask for a child who has a parent inquiries of a child what he wants he will answer at random, and sometimes, because he knows of an older child who has such a plaything, he will ask for something beyond his years. But children seldom ask for the best judgments of this. Do not force them to grow up too soon; they will be a long time grown-up. Let them keep their childish fancies and childish toys. I thing that nowadays children are included in the best judgments of seven and eight who appear much older than their parents did at that age. Children are so eager for Christmas. They count the days to it weeks before, even some days, when the best judges of all the world over, this is a Season of Joy. Shall we have tears this Day? Surely not if we mothers can help it. And it is so easy for a mother to know exactly what a child wants; the child's wants its wants a secret! The whole world may know. Do you think you will get a doll this year? Once asked a child after she told me how she longed for one, so" she answered, and her face clouded. "Daddy says I am too old for dolls. I am afraid they will give me a dress." Afraid she was going to get a new dress! Little girls generally love new clothes; but this one did not. I felt for that child. I talked to her mother, and I was glad to see that, on Christmas Morning, the child had the doll she feared she would not get. The joy on that child's face the rest of the day was a sight to warm any mother's heart. You may give your children what you wish all the rest of the year, but at Christmas, the children's own Festival, forget yourself, and give them what they want—not a lot of presents, but one for the one for which there has been a real loving And may I add one other admonition? There we have at Christmas time—the opportunity of giving. Be sure that they have it. For after all they might directed, will bring them their greatest love. Poem This Week and not singling around overhead. Yes, I see. Yes, that and that laughter Or you'll never get that dolly and you'll never get that sled! What's the trouble, now I wonder.

He was disconcerted for a moment, but seeing that we had him dead to rights, upown and admired that he had come to know of the time to spend a little joy with the chorus girls. He took us up to his room where he proved a genial host. In spite of his age the old geerer could pass for a more boy of 75 or 100. Mrs. Claus is about as well as can be expected, he informs us even occasionally the idea of him running around all Christmas Eve night putting things in strange women's stockings, but she doesn't raise as much fuss as she used to when he first stares at her. The old barrister effectually call him, "You're going over the increasing tendency to give more presents on the installment plan. Unless this can be checked he will find if necessary to take on several new clerks to keep his stockings stocked by our Mr. Snoozefritz in his apt way, what he thought of the coming presidential campaign. Mr. Claus replied that he thought as little to the man and another man who will be willing to keep his mouth shut for four years. "Although I have been active in public life for many years and am pretty certain that I could command the vote of most of the citizens tween the ages of 6 and 10 not choose a little joy with the chorus girls." When sounded on his attitude toward prohibition by our sly Mr. Snoscafitz, the foxy old reprobate replied that he thought it was a satire for a man with his own home if he stayed at the round table. All in all he feels that this will be the greatest Christmas we have had this year.

Millions of children have thrilled to the magic of "The Night Before Christmas." Millions have shouted in glee on Christmas morning as the hope of a new year dawns from the depths of tanzalizing stockings. Among those millions were you and I. Let us not forget as we grow older that little hearts thump just as joyfully over Christmas morning surprises as did the first snow falling. Footing, we unthinkingly rob the little ones of half the joy of this festive day. In spite of the fact that Santa Claus has many enemies in these realities, his name is known to everyone, but bring squeals of delight from tiny tots. We learn soon enough that this jolly little man is imaginary, but this is no reason for refusing to give our children the moments of extremes that were ours Christmas Days. By all means have a Christmas stocking. Do not throw it carelessly on a chair by the bed, smile indulently as you kiss the candle and hold it up to the window and candles into it. No! The Christmas stocking demands more than this. See that it is large. See that it is hung carefully and tenderly at the foot of the bed. And when the stockings have been closed, the stocking is packed thoughtfully, loving and sanely. Fill the toe with the inevitable Christmas orange. Then proceed to fill the remainder with lemon. Then proceed to fill the remainder with every little gifts that will fit into the stocking. Nothing please the wakening child more than a big bukey stocking that assures him immediately of Santa's kindness. Then proceed to rustling, crinkling packages that must be unwrapped and perhaps untied before he knows what they contain. Yes, a banana is often used as a top piece, but it can also be a doll, a born or some toy. The child is starting in on a day of heavy eating, and it is well to carefully watch his diet. This I would avoid chocolate, peanuts, bananas, and such things in the stocking. Hard nuts even give a greater thrill when unwrapped than the common peanut. Hard candies explode when you reach large quantities as will chocolates. Instead of allowing the child to start the morning with a banana, let him eat a big red apple or a chocolate bar. You can also eat the orange in the toe, have it labeled by Santa Claus so that he will eat this too. Surely such a loving deception is allowable. All day long, he will eat a good cookie and other acid-producing foods which are very likely to upset his stomach. An orange in the morning will help to offset this acidity, for the orange has a very desired alkaline reaction that will help to the fact that it is as an acid fruit. So have the Christmas stocking orange bear a message from Santa himself, insisting that it be eaten for breakfast. It may be in the form of a brief note, wishing a happy Christmas, the average age, not of think Christmas, the average age, not of think Christmas, the average age, and thus in juice, of dissolved form, a medicinal goody will be consumed and the day begun far more sane than with a handful of chocolates. BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE YOUR FORTUNE-*XOUR FACE* "My face is my fortune, sir she said." So runs the line of an old time song, whose philosophy is true even now as then. Maidens are too often cruelly confronted with the fact that much—too much depends upon it. Much too in their fact, before it is the wise woman for终身 time and the other toll takers of life by guarding against inroads. Verily, a stitch in time saves not only nine, but ninety and nine, even happiness. Again and again we use ice- and firm it, over the face to tighten and firm it, but listen to this gentle hint, having no ice available, use an astringent cologne water— 4711 is excellent. The astringent acts as an aroma—a product the greatest entourage the loose, saging skin which comes upon one with the years.

There are times when circumstances require the Christmas gift not be one of those times. We have the duty, which brought the Christ-child into the world—free, voluntary, uncalculating, uninspiring, given in honor of the Great Gift should be as much as possible take of the same spirit. Sensible Don't Merely Buying Don't Dont be content with merely buying your gifts--SELECT them. Just anything wont do however. You wont buy it if else will represent the spirit of Christmas something you have selected with care thought and a definite knowledge of the perse to whom it is to be given. Select your cards this way. And with the useful variety of cards those days it delightfully easy. And, just don't you love oodles of cards in Christmas? I do. Oh, yes, rather foolish and extravagant, no doubt. But, oh, the fun looking cards are great. And both the being reminded of friends both the near who have paused a blessed moment in their busy lives to wish us well, to let us see that like us or love us and have thought about us isn't that delightful in this dreary old world over to sordid preoccupation with material things. The Price Tag Don't Don't let the price-tag largely determine the gift. If Sally gave you something which cost a lot more, you would probably SIMPLY MUST buy something for her this year that cast at least that much. That's what you call "exchanging" gifts. Just a business-like-value-received transaction. Nothing at all on Christmas Day. You simply by your gift. I love you and I want to show it by this token which carries all my love. Your friend's gift implies the same thing. There may be a difference in price of several gifts, but the gift by both of them the same, if it is true love. Don't consider your Christmas giving complete unless you have given to some one less fortunate than yourself, the one that can continue to give and relish the gift after all. The real spirit of Christmas includes the spirit of the Lord when He said, "Inasmuch as we have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, we have done it unto The Household Scrapbook CLEANING TINWARE Make a paste of powdered whiting and ammonia, and rub the tin thoroughly.

Brown, rf 2 2 A taste of the brand of basketball that Baltimore has been taught to expect at the hands of Morgan College tossers was revived when the Bears in a thrilling contest dropped their opener to the Elks Big Five to the tune of 31-32 after playing an extra minute period at the New Albert auditorium, Friday night. The Bears were not, however, up to their usual standard of perfection in teamwork displayed in previous years, but the team was intact. Captain Edward (Lanky) Jones seemed to have suffered by the long layoff and it was not until late in the game that he began to control that made him one of the most brilliant figures of the local courts in the past two years. Teenle Brown Stars The outstanding individual performance of the evening was undoubtedly that of "Tecnie" Brown, left forward for the Elks, whose unanny ability to shoot from all sections of the court was one of the most spectacular players, field goals snatched from long distances, were his crop. "Scrappy" Brown and Turner crowded him for first place honors. The former received an injury of the leg that may incapacitate him for some time. The Elks have made a valuable find in Thomas, their elongated center used the final basket in the last 30 seconds of the game, which gave his team a one-point lead and the game. Suspense Rlfe The game opened with little action, as the players sized each other up, committing fouls in their efforts. Brown of Morgan missed the first free try and Simpson started the scoring after five minutes stalling by dropping a shot on the floor. His taste sent both into the affair with added zest. Morrison leading at 12:41. The second period was one of mid and tuck and ending with Wheatly drooping in a foul that tied the score 20-20 as the whistle blew. The crowded auditorium was a purpose as Clarke led the basket for a twoplank lead. Turner retaliated by completing a foul bringing the score 30-31. Thomas missed another free try when Sheffey committed a foul but rectified his mistake by tossing a goal from the floor throught the score to 32-31 as pandemonium broke loose and the whistle blew.

Shield. Displaying a fast carefree passing attack, which was effective throughout the game, the Monumental Elks routed the Philadelphia Scholastics 38 to 20, at the New Albert Monday night before a small crowd. Except in the early part of the first half when a scoring spurt brought their count up to within one point of the locals, the visitors played a listless game, being totally outclassed. Cranshaw was the first man to score, and that by way of a foul shot when Thomas was caught in the net. Davis caged a long shot near the center of the court. The Elks were playing at this time in a careless style, missing many shots. Some brilliant shooting by Simpson. T. Brown and Thomas near the close of the half ran the locals up, as Turner and "Scrappy" Brown-pit the locals ahead with one point by a couple of nice shots from the side of the court. The half ended with the Elks leading 12 to 11. The second session saw the locals swing out to a big lead, with every player getting into the scoring column. This half brought out Thomas, elongated center, who made four field goals running his total up to six for the evening. Team B made the valuable follow on the Elks' five, also came in to share honors with Thomas as he caged four field goals and three free tosses. David, who recognized five field goals, led the visitors' attack. His uncanny skill in handling the ball made him the outstanding performer on the Quaker team. Howe and Graves, guards, were also impressive. Celeritas Wins In the preliminary contest the Celeritas Tossers defeated the Camp Fire Girls of the Comcast team. The Celeritas attack was led by Cooper, Wharton and Parrott, while Tallilfero, Craig and C. Hawkins played well for the Camp Fire Five. SUNNY JIM SUGCEEDS TIGER FLOWERS SUNNY JIM SUGCEEDS TIGER FLOWERS Walk Miller Has New Fighter In Middleweight Division NEW YORK—"Sunny Jim" Williams, a sensation less than a defense in the light heavyweight and middle weight class, has appeared on the ring horizon again and has cast his lot along with Jack McVey for a crack at the middleweight crown now being held by Mickey Walker, white. Walk Miller, manager of Tiger Flowers, the latter who along during the years of 1923-24 and 25, was making a rapid rise in the middleweight class, said a terror in Williams and soon signed him in his stable. Williams had already beaten such fellows as Walcott Langford, Pal Reed, and Leo Lomski, and scored knockouts on both sides. Gordon McKay, all white, and Jamaica Kid. In 1926 Miller shipped Williams to Australia, where he remained in more than 25 contests. he knocked out the light heavyweight, of that country. Since the passing of "Tiger" Flowers, Miller has called Williams back to New York, and placed him in the middle and light heavyweight scratching. Also, admiring for a shot at the crown, Dave Shade, George Courtney, Maxie Rosenbloom and others, the affair will be enlivened. Williams was born in San Diego, Cal. in 1918. He entered the pro- fessional ring in 1923 and has engaged in 4 matches winning 31, 13 knockouts, lost 4, and one draw. EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING OF THE TEAMS TEAM W. L. P. 1. 0. 1800 ST.

HILLDALE SIGNS NEW FIRST BASEMAN "Nap" Cummings Formerly With Bacharach To Wear Daisy Uniform WHITWORTH IN Big Right Hand Pitcher Also In The Fold PHILADELPHIA—In an effort to build up a stellar nine for next season, Manager Bill Fancis, newly appointed leader of the Hilldale baskets, signed Richard Whitworth, big right hand pitcher, and Napoleon Cummings, first baseman, this week. Both of these players, veterans of the game, were members of the 1921 Hildale team that was obtained by Bill Francis. So the get-together conference in the spring will have the war ranks of a reunion in the Hildale camp. Chance Cummins, who made his bow in the baseball circles of the East with the Bacharach Giants in 1916, has been a member of the Atlantic City team over the entire period with the exception of two years. Aside from being with Hildale in 1921, he was inactive on the diamond the past season, being released by the team in 1922 and garaged as a star. Cummins is a capable performer of the consistent wne and a student of the game. Whitworth Dick Whitworth has blazed a swath on the diamond both in the West and East, was the pony hurler of Rube Foster's American Giants in 1925 and later developed into the Giants in 1930. He played the Hillel Club and for two years mowed them down in the East for Ed. Bolden's squad. In 1922 he rejoined the American Giants and early in the season was a victim of a motor mishap, his second in as many years. The following year he left Chicago and went to Munsing. Even in that season he went to be denied and he pitched the hick town to three straight championships.

JOE GANS GETS BROREN RIB LOS ANGELES, CAL. — A hard left to the body broke one of Young Joe Gans' ribs in the third round during a bout with Vincent Dindee, white, of Baltimore, here on Tuesday, 4-2. He lost the decision three times he had his opponent on the verge of a knockout. Basketball Dancing NEW YORK — Although they were trailing to 13 to 9, at the end of the first half, the St. Christophers took on a spurt in the final session to down the bands of Atlantic City to 24 to 24. Friary jumped in an Eastern League basketball game. Billy Baskerville and Knox started the fireworks for the visitors in the opening minutes of the contest, and for a while it seemed as though the locals were in for a neat little drubbing. Edder Corbin put the Saints in a scoring mood. The team held goals by White, Seay and Murphy enabled them to trail 13 to 9, at the end. In the second session the Salmets were slow getting started, while the Vandals pulled out to 21 to 9 lead. After the first ten minutes things began to change. "Stretch" Grant called his boys together and when the final whistle blew they had up the contest to 32. Over comfort, after flipping up a comfortable lead proved a bugbear for the Sensiders.
