Experience wrote that before books became the fashion. Better-than-thou Republicans and democrats, who are born wrong, are born wrong. They are great states of Illinois and Pennsylvania. Five democrats held back. Please and Smith of N. W. Randdell and Broussard of La. They said among themselves, these five, after the senators of Illinois and Pennsylvania, Frank L. Smith and William S. Vare, are denied seats in the Senate. They were ELECTED by the people. You look, read, wonder why. --- Some tell you one thing, some another, and still you are left in the dark. This humble writer in lighting the lamp for you gives light to At. For 62 years democrats have plotted and schemed to get even with Illinois and Pennsylvania—Illinois on account of Lincoln when he took this glorious Union; Pennsylvania on account of Thaddeus Stevens, who put life in Grant's victory and took up where Lincoln left off. "We go out here," whispered desiderate themselves. Then, they went to look up a few Republics who honest themselves. Find it hard to tell a thief from a deacon. You know all about Lincoln and Grant to whom you are cheerful MON-MENTS as you walk and talk and hold out against their enemies. Go look up Thaddeus Stevens. Ask some educated person who has been born to you when he attested public attention: what he did, that made him famous. Fifth Article 2. Great daily papers tell you of the Fifth Article to the Constitution Senator James Argentine our Mara we no one recite it. You might look up that article. You are in it. It is plain enough to be understood all—somewhat like the Bible that interpretation.” As the authors of the Constitution handed their propositions to James Madison our Bible that is somewhat understood by their do and all days to come. Roger B. Taney got to fooling with their language and let you loose. A few give the law but many interpret. This is the sentence of the Fifth Article senators and editors are arguing about, AND THAT STATE, WE CONSENT, BE DEPRIVED OF ITS EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN THE SENATE.” Is not that plain? As plain as your nose on your face. Democrats are now worried over the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. In order to defeat the amendments they had to nullify the Article. Our white people. Real white people in this section of the world, are soft-hearted and hardheaded. They don't like advice. They are afraid colored citizens. They want to serve the people. They will allow to serve the government to be broken up by those who went to war to destroy it. Yet bear with them. Thus far they brought in publicists to know by now that democrats who disfrience Americans on account of condition and politics are not above disfrience and on account of history. Everybody, however, is not asleep at the switch. Read the three stirrings from the famous New York Herald-Tribune: "Time brins in its revenge. The emperor is bribing the abolishing the safeguards now thrown about lawful state credentials; is laying up money for the unfinished knifelines may have a bitter aftermath extending through mankind."

Marcus Garvey told Jamaica's correspondent of the AFRO-AMERICAN shortly after his arrival in that country. "All this indication, declares this correspondent, Garvey is stronger in the island than when he left to center his activities in America." Garvey made his first big address on Sunday night.

His address was "My Advent, Work, Persecution, Indictment, Conviction, Appeal, Imprisonment and Liberation in America." American Adherents Follow. It was noticeable also that a large number of Jamaicans who have been in America are returning to the island in touch with their leader. Liberty Hall here has been removed and given extensive improvements to welcome Garvey. Jacques Garvey had not reached the island on December 20, when this communication was written, but it was said on authority that he is expected to join her husband Garvey has made no announcement as to his next move, but the fact that he has been in Jamaica at the business department of the U.

The tragedy, which cast gloom over the city, followed the quarterly drill when 2,000 youths participated in the regulation training. The steam launch J. J.

The news revealed that 42 lads, one the only son of Ex-President Howard, were missing. Of these less than half of the bodies were recovered, and these were the only ones who saw the entire life of Monrovia was halted and business closed while the entire community buried the ill-fated body.

THIS IS SECOND CASE THIS YEAR Police Accept Alleged Bribe Of $150 To Let Mob Have Sway. JACKSON, Miss. (Special)—Ruptured, castrated, their cars cut off by a mob, two men were left to die outside the city last week. They had been arrested in a room of a local hotel where they worked as bellhorm. Two white girls, who had enticed them thither, were also arrested with entirely clad. The women admitted that their relations had been wholly mutual. The boys were arrested, taken out of Jackson under the prentense of safe keeping to a little town about two hundred people twelve miles away. Mah Of But 12 Brought back for a hearing, accompanied by only tow constables, the party was met by a masked mob of 12 armed men. For a consideration said to be $150, the officers are reported as offering no resistance. Mutilated—Ruptured Both boys were castrated, their ears cut off, and placed on their backs and heavy members of the mob jumped up and down in their abdomens and thighs. These cases make four such cases to have happened here in Jackson within the past year, wherein Negro boys have been charged with carnal knowledge of white women, the Negro consent and the Negroes were afterwards arrested, put in jail and afterwards taken out of town under pretense of safe keeping only to be taken charge of by a police officer, the Negroes ears off and otherwise mayhem them and left them in the woods to die, and nothing whatever has been done about either case, though the Government knows the facts. Away From Protection In the case that happened about a week ago, the teenagers arrested in the Negro boys' rooms. Many feel that certain city and county officials are out of town away from protection. Daily Paper Despite the fact that the white girls solicited the bellmen and the whole affair took place in a hotel, the bellmen were taken to the mob into the woods nearby, where the assault was said to have occurred. The Associated Press did not handle the story and any prominence in the municipal news, but the girls did actually entice the bellmen to their rooms. 5 YRS.

NO SUPERVISORS IN SIX MD. COUNTIES In Three, White Truant Officer Is Found Supervising Colored Schools BALTIMORE INCLUDED State Supervisor Huffington Mum On Query Washington County employs six supervisors of grammar and high school grades, Garrett County has four, neither has any per- son responsible for the race schools. When asked to make a statement as to the absence of supervisors in three of the counties Supervisor J. Walter Huffington stated that he had nothing to say. Other agencies which have no colored supervisors are Howard and Somerset. In these two counties and in Anne Arundel County the white attendance officer acts. In spite of the fact that the State Board of Education makes it a regulation that there should be a supervisor in each county, six counties are still without such supervision of their colored schools a recent sur- vey shows. An even more objectionable feature is the fact that in three of the counties the white attendance officer is also supervisor of colored schools and the county school board, and in four advanced training or education is required for this position. Anne Arundel, Howard and Somerset Counties have this arrangement. Baltimore County* None. Baltimore County* openly displayed its hostility to Negro education in the recent high school issue, employs more people in its administrative office than any of the counties but has no supervisor, no supervisor of the various departments, two attendance officers and five stenographers and clerks. All are white. The school officials over a year ago requested county teachers to recommission their officers. They unanimously endorsed Jesse L. Nicholas for the cost. Nothing has been done since. It is commonly reported that the officials did not expect the teachers could give up their positions, and some reason why the appointment could be held up.

An excellent indication of the growth of the profession among colored teachers in North Carolina is shown by the number of Black Within Teaching Teachers' vaccination has a membership of 3,000 and is the largest of its kind in the United States.

Newspaper Claims Georgia Conference Election A Fraud ATLANTA, Ga. — The Independence in an editorial terms the recent Griffin, Ga. A. M. E. Conference election a fraud. It says: "The election of delegates in Georgia to the Chicago General Conference this year stands out as the monumental steal of Christendom, and there is no preacher in the church with religion; in his heart to serve God long enough to tell the whole truth, so help me God. At the Griffin Conference there was no election—no delegate received a majority of all the votes cost—the election was a fraud upon its face. We had on hand 74 of the 107 tickets voted in Griffin. Three tickets sheer when that teacher whom the professional teller gave 107 votes, didn't get but 30 votes on the 74 tickets; that W. J. William got 45—but the leader's name was read on these 74 tickets, when in truth his name was written on them. This is a sample of the state-wide practice in every conference. Ben Tillman and Jim Vardman in their palmist days never pulled off a reder crime with shot guns against Negroes at the ballot box than these preacher-political people in the church of God and rightcousness. Bishop J. S. Flipper is head of the church in Georgia. Both Mother And Daughter Attending College LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 'AXP.

There are now more than three times as many college students in the Negro colleges as there were a few years ago. A study of 99 Negro colleges shows the enrollment to be over 10,000 students.

Dr. Dillard, president of the American Association of Universities and Colleges.

HOOVER BACK FROM FLOOD AREA WASHINGTON—With the rehabilitation program complete and enough funds available to carry the injured in the sufferers in the Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana flooded area should finally be "on their feet" by April 1. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of State, said in an oral statement Thursday. The secretary, who has just returned from his final survey of the flooded areas, said with local committees in charge, said the needs of the people for the next three months are provided, the whole cost about $100,000.

(ANP.) — Did or did not the president of the P. Committeeman for Mississippi, give the brilliant banquet at which he was invited at the Whitewater Hotel. [1825X] "This is the first time in all my long public career." Host Howard said, "that I have ever paused in my busy effort to serve my people and help others in life worthwhile, that I have ever dug down into my pocket to provide a banquet for my friends. You are thrice welcome here." Melvin J. Zumum who is accounted to be a host was observed to applaud heartily. It was an evening of matchless oratory. Everyone present spoke save a few who wearying of waiting their turn, retired. Beginning at nine o'clock, it was one before Dean Kelley Miller pledge to pronounce the term-diction. Finley Wilson J. Finley Wilson, who before the now famous secret caucus of the 1960s, was groomed by the host to head the national campaign next year in place away from Frisco, served as keynoteer. "I do not choose," Mr. Wilson said. "I surrender the post of Grand Exalted long as my friends will elect me to it." Ben Davis "Get votes and the race problem will be solved," shouted Ben Davis, doughty warrior from Georgia. Mrs Booze old, and Mrs Williams spoke of the interest colored women are now taking in politics. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who Mr. Howard in introduction of Howard University, set forth in a graceful speech his interest in the race, while Neval Thomas stated he now realized, that "we need colored women, as well as radicals on the outside thundering about race oppression." Even William Pickens felt the spirit of the evening for he remained in support of Ben Davis' policy (times, "but at heart we are all together." So on and on they went. R. R. Church, the peerless leader, did not attend, and his absence was regretful. Simmons came and left very early. Knockers Of course, the knockers were on hand. Toastmaster Howard, who was in rare form, occupied 300 minutes of the room and replying to each address. For the tenth time, he had announced "this is my party given for my birthday." Gliding from chair to chair grew stronger and stronger an敏ent the motive which inspired the dinner. When Entertaining the Lark, On the Board, the chairman of the Republican National Committee gave a dinner for the members of the committee. The committeemen were invited to an open meeting by Mr. Butler. But Mr. Howard according to rumor diplomatically suggested in the proper order to pour a champagne, an敏ent where there would be no embarrassment. $5.00 a plate should suffice and 100 guests would be the maximum. Caterer was being criticized for serving so small a portion, what it was all about, so he admitted that the cost for the guests was $1.00 per all this was the grist of dame rumor and the knockers. Nerroticians "Colored men in politics," said Carson Blake, head of the Mystic Shrine, "are always working for the benefit of the race, rather than any party, and are Negroists instead of politicians." "Negroes are the finest politicians in all the world," opined W. P. Dabney, former mayor of Cincinnati. "Twas then that Dean Kelly Miller closed the eventful evening by making a plea for the dry law. I have never noticed," said the Doc. "The debate of the 18th amendment, despite the fact that it is bound up with the 14th and 15th, and if we lose one we lose them all. The Negro bootlegger is the most racist race." The meeting dispersed without further opinion on the subject. H. U. Delegates At N. S. F. A. WASHINGTON, W. C.—Walter J. Upperman and Miss Bobbie Turner, seniors in the School of Liberal Arts, represented Howard at the annual meeting of the National Students' Federation of America at the university. sity of Oberlin, Ohio. Hundred colleges represented, there were only two colored. Howard and Fisk. Some of the questions discussed were with the Prentices, Honor System, Student Government, and College Journalism. The aims of the N. S. A. were to "chiefly support cooperation among students, give consideration to questions affecting students' interests, develop student opinions on questions of importance, and foster understanding among the students of the world."

Matthews. CAUCUS A SECRET George W. Harris Asked Those Present Not To Tell WASHINGTON, D. C., (ANP.) Politicians gathered here recently for the meeting of the National Republican Committee failed to select a national leader. Numerous causes were held. The White House took notice. The Whitehall Hotel. National Committee Howard of Mississippi called it and of those present were Ben. Davis. Commissioner from Georgia. George Harris of the New York News; John Rishier of 1216 Pennsylvania avenue; Robert R. Church, fresh from his college. Mr. Mahon, Mr. Howard's new partner in Mississippi; E. L. Patton, referee from the same state; a few Washingtonians, and Captain Walter L. Johnson who was nominated as chairman. He thought the group present should arrive at an understanding and pledge all within room to secrecy. Ben Davis objected, saying that the caucus had no authority, represented one but two leaders, that the effort was premature and that it was presumptuous his opinion for them to assume to form a program for twelve million people to follow other leaders in committees. Howard finally rising to suggest the name of R. R. Church of Memphis as national leader. Church's name seemed acceptable to all, putting to rest the report that Mr. Howard had selected Finley Wilson for the role of leader of the male contingent and Miss Howard for the role of a newly became an Eik as chieftain for the women. Church Declines Mr. Church, however, wrote and viewed that he said he agreed with Mr. Davis and that he woud have none of the leadership nor of the Lincoln League either. As that joint statement was observed that Col. Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, who has been invited, was not present. The meeting then broke up without concrete results as did most of the Wetty's Failure Effort of politicians to elect a spokesman indicates they are disappointed in Clarence Matthews, whom Chairman Butler picked out over the weekend. Gecoldide frowned on Matty's "14 points" and the latter thereon accepted a place as Assistant U. S. OUR COLLEGES SHOULD EXCHANGE PROFESS'RS Dr. Alain Locke Who Goes To Fisk Soon Gives Inter- view WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. The time has come for Negro colleges to establish an exchange of professors. Alain Leroy Locke, president of Howard University and one time Rhodes scholar, declared in an interview Monday. Dr. Locke has been granted a license to teach in the winter quarter. He is going to Fisk University where he will teach and do research in social philosophy and on the Negro University. Howard University at the beginning of the spring quarter and resume his courses. It were formally an exchange of professors, he said. "Iseems to me that it is time for Negro schools to develop closer relations and cooperation. The time he will teach the course the better—when Negro schools must pool their educational resources." Before the opening of school last fall, Fisk University offered a professorship at a salary of $4,500 a year. The board of trustees of Howard University also offered him the professorship of philosophy, which he had previously While the research professorship at Pisk University was more lucrative, Dr. Locke declined it in order that he might be vindicated by a return to his former position. He again remained near New York City because of his interest in art and literature. Wed At Bel Air BEL AIR, Md.—Donald Tashk Redd, Boreale, and Emma Aitte, Tittle, Boreale.

Secretary Hawkins is reported to have offered $125,000 in lieu of these payments without avail. Others insist that the under current of rivalry between factions of the connection represented by two of the most prominent prelates of the church, is responsible for the debacle. These informants contend that some of the influences in church life here thwarted the sale or at least were lukewarm in their support and predict that the smouldering embers which abound beneath the situation will flare up when the Conference convenes. It is now proposed to hold the meeting in the Eighth Regiment Armory. EDUCATION IS RARE IN PRISON CAMPS EDUCATION IS RARE IN PRISON CAMPS CHAPEL HILL. N. C. Nov.—Of 1036 Negro convicts in thirty-three North Carolina prison camps recently investigated by the Department of the State University, is found that not one had received the equivalent of a high school education and only three were rated as of high school grade, according to a report entitled "The North Carolina Chain Gang", just issued by the University Press. Thirty-four per cent of the Negro convicts were found totally illiterate and eighty-three per cent unable to read newspapers. Of the illiterates 268 were boys of public school age, between fourteen and twenty, indicating, as the report points out, prior failure to enforce the compulsory education law.

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before the face, which shall prepare my way before the face. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Praise the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the fenestra we went out unto him all the land of Judae, and of Jerusalem, and all basked in the river of Judae their sins. And John was cloaked with camel's hair, and with a bride of a skin of wild honey. And preached, saying. There concheth one mighter than I after me, the latchest of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down. I indeed, have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

FROM DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS To the Afro-American:— To those who play such a significant part in the educational development of the boys and girls of the present age, we extend Greetings of the Season. Those who have been fortunate enough to live in the classroom with children for the last few years, must have been definitely impressed with the trend of education in the American schools. The marvelous growth of popular interests in human conduct by the citizenry of our country must arrest the attention of all who train for American citizenship. It seems fitting to suggest, that it is doubtful if the people ever saw an age when there was greater need for educational and vocational guidance than at the present time. Teeming millions of boys and girls in the springtime of their lives, look to the teachers for counsel and guidance in their effort to find themselves. As we approach the close of the present year, and pause for one moment to check results of our achievement, it must be very heartening when we can point definitely to that constructive piece of work that has helped those entrusted to our care to live more completely. I trust that we are warranted in the assumption that the teachers of "All the Children of All the People," face the New Year with a conscience "void of offense toward God and man." conscious of the fact that of the material placed in their hands, in the form of living clay, must issue the man of tomorrow. I trust that the teaching fraternity may be strengthened and sustained by "Him," whose birth we celebrate, and that all may enjoy a pleasant and profitable New Year. FRANCIS M. WOOD.

Bishop Clair Says Firestones Are Changing Entire Aspect Of Little Republic TO BUILD NEW SCHOOL Rubber Company To Aid Education There Imported foodstuffs at prices ranging from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent cheaper than those formerly sold Liberians and natives there by the U. S. Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Firestone interests, it was revealed here by Bishop M. W. Clair in an interview. Bishop Clair, who has presided over the Methodist Episcopal Church in Liberia for eight years, is on the eve of leaving America to take up work in the republic's future, and is planning an industrial school on the Hampton-Tuskegee type. "In a few years from now school children will be able to train for manhood and womanhood the more than 350-500 children of school age at present without schools. 4 verily believe that the future will be aeria in real and definite ways, thereby making sure and secure her future," he told his interviewer. 15,000 Employed Bishop Clair states that the Firestones are rapidly bringing under cultivation the land which has been used for employing 15,000 native workers. The company has acclaimed 200,000 rubber trees planted 16 years ago and has them in full production. Employing 15,000 native workers concession will be at a minimum of $100 an acre. President King and officials of the Liberian government are giving the educational and financial experts there every support. W. T. Francis, recently appointed American Minister to Liberia, and Bishop Clair recently made an inspection trip through the Firestone Center to visit the guests of Harvey S. Firestone and other officials.

This is a Foreign Missionary Convention made up almost entirely of men and women. Of the 1,000 colleges and schools of North America that will send despatches to the United States, the institutions of learning, mostly in the South, there are several important Negro Boards, like: the Lott Society of Negro Students, the Foreign Missions of the National Negro Baptist Convention, the A.M. E. and the A.M. E. Zion Mission, the A.M. E. Zion Mission, more than 4,000 students will attend the Detroit meeting and of this number several hundred will attend the Detroit meeting and students of other than white races. The unrest on the mission fields in Africa and the recent upheavals in China make this Convention more appropriate for college students. The work of Max Yergan under the auspices of the Foreign Division of the American Air Force; the accomplishments of the McDowells under the Congressional Board in Angola; together with the fact that the Congressional Board anticipates occupying fields in Africa under the leadership of Negro college men and women in the country, turned the eyes of many of our college students toward service in other lands. Add to this the recent reports of the American student leader, T. Z. Koo, in which he said: "China is now ready to receive as missionaries Negro men and women who are willing to serve as a sign of the Convention is: MAKING CHRIST KNOWN.

Men Have No Place In Their Thoughts, The Home And Even The Church WANTS FOOTBALL SPIRIT Dr. C. H. Matthews Wants Members To Root For God "There is no more room in the world Duncan for Christ than there was in the inn at Bethlehem 1927 years ago," declared the Rev. C. H. Matthews, field secretary of Washington Annual Conference at St. Claims. Endowment Duncan, P.O. Box Memorial A. M. E. Church, Sunday. There is little room in men's thoughts, declared the speaker. The world is too occupied with making money and things to do about God. There are even little room in the home. he continued. Mothers and fathers have permitted their children to drift from their home teachings and the family alive has been recorded for the card table and dance. Scores Church "There is even no room in the church for Christ." Dr. Matthews decided to form into a business institution and has lost its mission. It no longer has that personal touch and when any institution fails to serve humanity it loses sight of its dignity. It is gone. Men now consider it vulgar to say Amen when they are touched, but the devil can make as much noise as the wants in the church members would go to a football game, see the spirit manifested and come back and root for Christ." Christ was given to the world, he declared, because God had started him. He was given to Jesus and he had failed to live up to his expectations and had lost the world to Satan, so in Christ, his only ability was to deliver an infant to win the world back. W. Va.

NICE VIRGINIA PEOPLE FAVOR LYNCHINGS White Editor Who Started Fund To Uncover Mob Members Is Surprised THOUGHT FOLKS STOOD FOR LAW AND ORDER One Hundred Take Steps, However, At Once To Cancel Subscriptions NORTON, VA.--Reactions to his protest against the brutal lynching of Leonard Wood has revealed that many of Virginia's nice people favor lynching. "A surprisingly great number of supposedly enlightened people admonished it, and mildly defended it," declared BRAWORDS, white editor of CRAWFORDS's having editorially denounced lynching in Virginia and admonished states, he says in a signed article, to fear that few if any of the accused would countenance a lynching when I published the ruseous details of the Leonard Wood lynching, a subscription fund to the prosecution conviction of members of the lynching once ran up against a surprise. Hostile Reaction There was at once a hostile reaction, the first of which was a "tiered" Crawford's subscribers in the community. Crawford's white man lived whom Wood killed. Some of them stopped their subscription; others wrote or telephoned their notices to "stop the rotten paper." A petition was also circulated calling upon subscribers to ban Crawford's and upward of a hundred names were said to have been on the list. When some of the friends of Crawford suggested a murder tone, when subscribers editorial in which he branded the murderers, suggesting that if every state, particularly the Southern states, raised a fund of $3,000 with which to bring the muggers to prison, lynching as a sadistic southern sport would very rapidly decline. Not Many Ashamed "There may not be many around here, that Pound Guafair, the editorial said, 'but this paper confesses it.' "To justify that lynching is to seize a criminal act is to seize a criminal act by jury conviction, not civilized enough to make and enforce just laws and revert to a criminal act," she claims to Christian enlightenment and human progress. Not only is this paper heartily ashamed of that many people who lynch that many people of seeming enlightenment seek openly and frankly to seize and kill crime. "Our kind stands." CORPORAL PUNISHM'NT NECESSARY ON EARTH The Rev. W. R. Ashburn Wins In Debate With The Rev. W. H. Moses "It may be possible to run Heaven without corporal punishment, but on earth and in Hell it is necessary to rule by punishment," declared Dr. W. R. Ashburn, who on Monday night defeated the Rev. W. H. Moses in their debate. Resolved: That Capital Or Corporal Punishment Is Unchristian. The debate, held at the Morning Star Church, marked the close of the meetings of the faithful Baptist workers and was attended by more than 400 people despite the severe weather. Dr. Ashburn polled 17,000 votes against 14, Cites God's Army "Jehovah", argued Dr. Ashburn, in support of the negative, "was the first to have a standing army of angels with flaming swords to protect the Tree of Life. Some people can be controlled by moral suasion but not all." Countering the argument of Dr. Ashburn that physical punishment is highly necessary, Dr. Moses argued that the whole principle of corporal punishment is predicted upon "junior law" which he declared is unchristian. "Take the fourth commandment," he argued "it is strictly against all forms of corporal punishment, and each eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a life for a life. Christ himself, submitted to superior physical force on the physical field of combat, but He lifted the fight up into the realm of right and reason predicated upon the principle of doing to others as we would have them do to us." Two Subjects The fact that the debaters were dealing with two separate subjec- made the debate difficult. One, but contribu- ted to the difficulty of bridging transitions from one topic to the other. Biblical reference formed the bulwark of sides and quotations from passages of the Scriptures were given at the Speaking of Jesus and punishment, Dr. Ashburn said: "Jesus did dodge punishment, rather than jump on the Cross. The Scriptures say that I pleased God to bruise Him." According to human experience we must respect authority and vile people must be brought into subjection to rights. In his concluding argument, Dr. Moses insisted that we must "pay to reason rather than to child," he said: "a reflection upon the training and abilities of his parents. If made friends there would have no disposition to be a punishment people for whom we have a friendly feeling." THREE MONTHS OLDBABY KIDNAPPED FROMITSCARRIAGE curday, Dec. 31, 1927 TRUCKMAN OFFERS REWARD FOR BABY Christmas Joys Absent At Carolina Home Since Kidnapping BABE WAS 3 MOS. OLD BROOKLYN, N. X—Although but a poor truckman, working for $30.00 per week, from which he must support a wife and four children, Wm. Carolina, 222 Tillary street, has offered a reward of $200 for the return of his three-year-old baby girl, Ruby, believed to be the victim of a kidnapping. When interviewed at their meager age, all huddled around a wood-smart stone, the father said: "We weren't got much of Christmas, especially without our little Ruby. As the $200 reward to whoever's got me, I can pay back those that伤我. We want little Ruby." "Young " Woman Mr. Carolina and his wife believe that the child was stolen by a young woman, a stranger in the neighborhood, known to have recently offered Mrs. Carolina a well paying job as a nurse with a supposed wealthy Boston family, which was also said to have also been the home of Minu for the winter, according to the mysterious *Grace* Mrs. Carolina and her baby would have to go to the Boston family, where she was born, but never lacked the suspected woman, who called early in the week, returned to more days. Finally, one day, when Little Ruby was put on for an interview, her perambulation surprised. The Carolinas have three children, Edie, Josephine, and James, three sour, and seven years, respectively, who are devoted to descriptors to the case, and used them to speed up the search. Police forces throughout this State and Florida were asked yesterday by Brooklyn, N.J., for Grace Wilson, twenty-one, a colored maid, attendant to a wealthy white woman, arriving by either car, with 6 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds. The maid is suspected of kidnapping Ruby Carolina, because the wealthy white woman, oddly she shed like hair, with which would be a companion to her car. GEORGIA DEFIES SUPREME COURT NEW YORK — The N. A. A. C. P. has received a report from Rev. W. J. Redecks, President of the Macon, Georgia. Branch of the white Democrats of Georgia are excluding Negroes from the party primaries in direct violation of the decision handed down by the United States Court of Appeals for the White Primary Case. Redecks reports that he went before the Democratic Executive Committee of Bibb County that Negroes be allowed to vote in the February primary. This request was "unanimously denied" by the Committee which took upon itself to reverse the Supreme Court rule. Rule 20 of a set of rules adopted in Bibb County by the Democratic Committee, provides that "all qualified white Democratic voters" have an opportunity to cast a primary vote. The Committee sought to evade the issue by telling the Negroes that they might have a "black" primary of their own among Negroes for office in Georgia. Liberia Gets Back Sacred Alligator Liberia Gets Back Sacred Alligator NEW YORK. N. Y., Dec. (ANP.)- The famous tailless alligator stone stolen by a German explorer in the stone city of Bologna, Italy. The stone honored by the Golas of Bologna for centuries bears "the engraving of an alligator without tail, an object which is emblematic of the power of the amphibious character of the sovereignty of their sires and the lenency of their domination." The Government of Monrovia pursued Scandinavianism, the one responsible for the removal of the stone, but he claims that there had been no wicked intent, and claimed he had purchased the stone when he was had the authority to dispose of it. The Hamburg papers express the opinion that a bad precedent has been established which may be responsible to other retries in Germany.

In conversation with Mr. Hill recently the writer learned that his experience with the white members of the delegation was the most part, very discouraging.

Some of the whites objected to Hill as a member of the delegation, and they tried to have him displeased with a student almost until the day the delegation sailed from New York. Mr. Hill, however, insisted in remaining on the delegation and with the help of the better element in the team, he succeeded in making the trip. The disgruntled white students who objected to Hill, did all they could to make him uncomfortable during the game, his group was very much disappointed in the Russians were so attentive to Hill. The Russian students everywhere welcomed Hill as a comrade, and insisted on his speaking, often asking for no other speaker in the delegation.

The moment they discovered Hill, the rest of the car, was crowded around him and learning that he was an American Negro, they began to plly him with questions about the treatment of Negroes in America. Among others the Negroes still lynched in America? "Can Negroes and whites intermarry?" "Do white and Negro students attend the same school?" according to Mr. Hill, Russians exhibited keen interest in the race question and the Negro. xxxx Poison Liquor NEW YORK CITY.-Mabel Gordon, 31, residing at 49 East 133rd street, and John Washington, 45 years old, of 380 Hudson avenue.

Dudley The year 1927 brought the amusement seekers very little comfort and several new titles for our musical comedy vehicles but the same old faces with the same old material with very few exceptions; and I think this had something to do with the falling of the business Of course we must admit that business in all lines was poor during the past year, but it was the most distressing time of our lives. We have experienced since the panic and I am now wondering what the colored actors and promoters of colorful movies have done for the new year. I do expect a few good shows from Irvin C. Miller, Leonard Harper, Quintard Miller and I think of all the theatres that need this type of attraction we are still short, and it is impossible for the theater to be able to market with all of the attractions that are needed to keep the theatres open for a while. So what are we going to do? That is the vital question. The T. O. B. A. are going to discuss the same thing at their annual meeting in January when they meet to discuss officers or reflect the present ones. As to the booking end of the colored theatres; there must be a bet between agreement and management that play the bigger tubs. There are two houses in the East that upset the routing by trying to book show independent management; there are about the same number in the middle West and twice as many in the South. **"Joby" To Stay** Each year about this time we hear all kinds of rumors about new colored circuits being organized, and this is one of the rumors of a new Eastern colored circuit and also one for the South, and from what I understand, the Eastern circuit will invade the middle West, and that this is the last year of the T. O. B. A. I have heard that for the past few years we have had a profitable existence and WILL BE until the heads of the organization disagree among themselves. **Cannon** that we had a profitable financially. It is the worst year we have had since the organization has been in existence. Now about the theatres again: There is one ance where the theatres can make money. If my colored program is in line with the play, I surely do business with them, for the class of pictures the COLORED PLAYERS FILM CORPORATION are going to make, with the help of the new play to produce six pictures in 1928, and among them two big road attractions: you don't need any other attraction that week. Mr. Manager, for this attraction alone will pack you SO GOOD BYE, OLD YEAR, HOW DO YOU DO, NEW YEAR? Airship And Smith In N. Y. Rustus Airship, Charlie Smith and Ruth Johnson, who just closed a two weeks' engagement in Detroit with Mastin and Richard's "Miss Cressa" formerly "Stratting Hannah," are now on the Lincoln Theatre.

GIBSON Ring In The New With the ringing in of the year 1928 the usual number of pledges and resolutions will be made, many to be as quickly broken. Ahead of that, in for big things that they are going to do. Some have been lucky in landing some juicy contracts and there are many at the top of the list of foundering around trying to land a booking. A few performers are starting off the year with fine prospects and are in for nice periods on Lowe, Keith and Orpheum time. Just last week Sunshine Sammy landed a fat Orpheum contract and performers today who have a pretty sour outlook on life because of tough sledding in 1937. Many dropped out of the business during the past year and it is understood that, particularly in certain southern sections, there are show people stranded there who have been so hard hit by the TWO YEARS. These people it will be extremely difficult to look with kindly spirit upon the new theatrical season. Disillusioned and bitter fight. No one knows what the New Year has in store. It will be full of surprises, some good and some bad, the oversupply and the impatient that some must drop out and some must stay, these latter in most cases being those most fit to survive. That seems to be the case. We wish success to the members of the profession and in exchange ask that they play the game square with the public. We want the public to make a transition in the economic life of the people of this country. Everyone is hoping for the best and as the public prosers, so will the performers. It is a challenge to the public to mutual benefit. Happiness is the result, and that's about all life's worth living for. The Repertoire Group The team creates that a number of players and writers, under the able leadership of Lester Walton has formed a group to present a repository of Negro plays on Broadway, is an encouraging beacon in this generation, and the mutual existence we have been living Reports have it that the group has ample financial backing. That's the talent, talent, talent. Talent, money, and advertising genius should make of the thing a success. The cast which is said to include Sidney Kirknick, Susie Sutton, J. Lawrence Grimer, and many other notables, expect to open in Washington about the middle of the year by Krank Wilson, star of "Perry." The formation of this group brings to mind the appearances of the Lafayette Players, which by the way, are the most prominent venture. A jazz-mad public, unappreciative of the finer qualities of the stage, saw and heard them, and the box office man was shunned so that the bunch had to come in off the road and put their talents to other uses. Hence the new venture, setting as its goal the presentation of Negro plays on Broadway. No doubt accentuated by the success of "Pearson" this group can be said to be a major force. Mr. Wilson's "Most Mosse" is the first play to be used and there are other playwrights to keep the group supplied with manners. Just how long the vogue for Negro plays will last on Broadway is an important consideration. The success of "Pearson" can be seen in the dump he and the group of Negro plays or plays with Negro themes has received more than one has been. This is in no way an anecdote of the group of this new venture. Far from that, for one of the least developed and most needed of the Negro artistic fields is the legitimate According to reliable advice the group is in no danger of financial embarrassment.

This sum does not include the theatre in attendance the downtown theatres. An approximately 25 per cent of this large number were children. Twelve Houses This amount was divided among the twelve principal theatres, namely, the Royal principal theatres, Lineinet (Nos 1 and 2), Roosevelt, Queen, Rumbow, Aladin and Goldfield theatres. Five of these houses are located on Pennsylvania avenue. Based on a per capita calculation of population in Baltimore, the theatre twelve times last year, or every month. The year saw a number of changes some in management, others in policy. The Regent after trying road shows and vaudeville acts adopted the strict picture policy in June, concentrating on first-class pictures and music. The Royal which changed the dress and managers caring the year also noted changes in the house discontinuing regular road shows in September and reacting to a strictly picture policy, only to change this later to a policy playing occasional street attractions when good ones could be found. Several times went extant these attractions during the year all of these improvements being toward greater comfort for theatre patrons. Films Despite a general complaint of a mother-theatre theatrical season, Palmer's showmen are not singing roles as the films have proved extremely popular and not altogether unprofitable. With the dismurrence of vaudeville at the larger houses, the standard of photographers has the standard noticeably raised the popular prices at which the films can be shown has well over the matinees have climbed over the year. Many Good Films The year was certainly an unusually good year for film fans, as there were a host of photoplayrs of the first magnitude shown at the various theatres during the season. Some of the best films seen here in-butude: Chang, Scarlet Letter, Faust, se Women Manager When Shows H Francis Goin And Rosa John Women Managers Have No Kick When Shows Have Bad Breaks Say Good Times In Far South Managing a show is no cinch, for theatrical season is there are many ups and downs, but even with all its difficulties, the job does not seem to daunt women managers if the words of Rosa Johnson and Francis Goln can be taken asATIVE. "Why were worse breaks than These two women, one with two years' experience in managing her own show, and the other with two months in the business 'on her own, have had about all the breaks that can come to a show manager. Rosa Johnson Miss Johnson, Willett Townsend, is a native of Norfolk, Va, and got her first taste of show life in 1922 when she appeared in Townsend and Townsend's "Broadway Vamps". Previously, she had had a little experience in entertaining in cabbettes in Norfolk, since joining the "Broadway Vamps" company, has appeared in several other productions. 1923 Miss Johnson took over the management of her own show, taming it after her first love and carrying 17 people. Most of these people were recruited from Florida, some being natives and others longing to show that had distanced in that state. She has kept the company intact and has met with particularly in playing the England. Francis Goin Although known as Miss. Francis Goin, she joined the folks in Atlanta, Ga., is in private life "Mrs. Goin. When only twelve years old she sang and danced at the Auditorium in Atlanta and in 1920 joined her first show, doing a simple act, played in a number of shows. Two months ago she organized her own show in Newport News, Va. carrying ten people in the vehicle which she labels the "Quick Stepping Revue", another T. O.B. A. unit. Lay Off Here Both of these shows got a temporary lay-off here last week. But there was no bitterness expressed by their managers. Miss Johnson played the last half of the show, Wilmington, Del., and Miss Goin's show played the last half of the week at the Goldfield. When talked to they were both cheerful and seemed successful in radiating that optimism among the members of their group were in excellent good spirits, at least so, as if they had landed in some soft, contracted. No Harshness Here No harsiness. You inadvertently some tough breaks. Explained Moss Goin, diminutive balls can of animated energy balls can't go as fast as she would. She then reminisced on some of the experiences she had had, saving that she found pickings very poor in Virginia than usual in Washington and Baltimore. Miss Johnson, however, found Virginia to be one of the best states her company has played, but whether this is due to the fact that it is a more health heath she modestly has devoted to her business, the winner "she said, "but my, it is terrible in the summer. Most of the houses there close down during the summer months or resort to strict picture policy. There are numerous personnel in Virginia today two years ago. But that's just one of the unhappy breaks of the show business." Cheen House Managers Both of these women managers deployed the fact that a large number of house managers had been named and who accepting the lower award and who refused to pay an act of fifteen people or less, more than $150 or $175 for the week. Carrying a company of fifteen or more and plaving for such low prices necessarily means that performers in the house must be poorer and accordingly accounting for the worth just about the amount paid them or possibly less. Both are hearkening to the call of the Southland, where the insist Francis Goin 27 Call VE rnon 6016 HILLS BE Billion And Half res During 1927 $325,000 To See Variety Of Image Productions Valencia, Monte Cristo, Moon of Israel, The Beloved Rogue.

Stage Attractions A host of road shows graced the local boards during 1927. There was an endless array of musical comedies and vaudeville acts, some good, some medicoore, and others not so good. All in all, however, Balanchine and the rest of entertainment. Among the attractions seen here were: Brownskin Models, Great Temptations, Shuffle Along, Runnin' Wild, Club Alabama, "Revue, Rarin" to Go, Dashin' Dinah, Whitman Sisters, Drake and Walker, Lucky Sambo, and Connie's. In addition, all of the "Smith girls" were here, Mantee and her gang, Clara, with her Black Bottom Revie, and Bessie, with the Harlem Follies. Sammy Lewis and Lovoy Austin also played here as she did a lave number of other shows and a musical by her group T.O. B.A. shows, such as Mailov and Bownan's Club, Tennessee Revue. Downtown Shows A large number of shows were witnessed in downtown houses, notably, Watermelons, 4-11-44, Jimmie Cooper's Black and White, Revuve and Rang Tang, Stone and the amusement rides, Moss and Frye, Glenn and Jonkins, Johnson and Johnson, Newman and Rodgers, and many others. Parks And Orchestras The summer season found Wonderland Park featuring numerous entertainers, orchestras, and showfolks, in auditoriums to the city, and regular amusements. Local orchestras have kept busy, as a rule, filling local and out of town engagements during the year and the devotees of the terpsichore have had their share of dances. Taking everything into consideration, the passing year has not been unusual in parish and recreation lowlands, Baltimore. There have been some profits and some losses but from present indication no one seems unusually blue. ers Have No Kick Have Bad Breaks Johnson Show No Bitterness— *theatrical season is better during the winter months. The theaters may be smaller but pay more money. Asked to leave because them to quit the show business, both replied in the negative. "Why we're not getting any worse breaks than a male manager would, probably not as many. Our companies are loyal to us. It's probably just the money, as they want us to quit and you know a woman usually gets what she goes after." HERE AND THERE THE THREE BROWNS, a trio of good dancers, stopped the show cold at the Granada, Chicago. A CINEMA, beginning of the film "In Old Chicago," says that it has at least two things to recommend it, "Carolynne Snow and Stephen Fetchit." "POROY" continues to do a good business around $14,000. MAGEO PINKARD got three nice songs through during 1927, the numbers being Dawning, There Must Be Somebody Else, and THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS of the Florence Mills Theatrical Association has presented papers of incorporation for Senator Al Smith's major theater programs in other eastern cities and in Chicago. JOYNER AND FOSTER, with their act, "Running Him Ragged," and a playing of "You're the Best of Me," have performed programs at HAMMETREE HARRINGTON and Cora Green in "nobody's Gal," are doing the stuff at the Riverside, New York.

Doris Niles Group Thrills Tuskegee TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. — One of the high water marks in the exceptionally fine entertainment course offered at Tuskegee this year was the recent appearance of Doris and Cornelia Niles and Company. Assisted by her sister and company Miss Doris Niles appeared in a varied program of interpretive dances, including in her program Dett's "Juua Dance" and suites of Russian Scandinavian. Turkish Indo- and Spanish dances. Cil Valeriano, Spanish tenor; sang a series of songs and as a singur Danubir's "Dawn" numbers of the faculty, students and the people of the community were greatly impressed with the performance. Adjusting Tire Chains Drape the chain over the wheel with the clamps to the rear, so that when the clamps strike the road they strike with a "closing" motion. If clamps are turned in reverse position, the emergency will open the clamps as they strike the chain, which is often the cause of losing a chain. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly ROYAL A re-arranged "Ace High" show is greeting the customers at the Royal Theatre this week, the production being presented by Charles L. Cohn, veteran showman. Except for a little drag in getting under way and a few dull spots that can be easily eliminated, the show took well with the hardened Baltimoreans. Realizing that even the best of shows often get the razzberry in the Monumental City, it can be said with out fear of treason that the Royal offering pleased. At least we didn't see any cold-hearted cynics walk out during the performance. And that's some progress. Lena Curry, attractive songbird, who also seems to possess a good dose of IT, sang tenderly and with fine expression, her best number being "Broken-hearted" Jennie Dancy, hard working and personable knew the audience's tastes and selected the "Song of Orleans" and "Baltimore," as her song offering and injected a measure of spice in her performance that could well be contagious. Alice Gorgas, singing in a cotton scene, would have registered more heavily had she used a little more volume, yet this scene was easily the most unique of the whole show. Using the old favorites, ignorance, nostalgia, honeymoon, Byrd and Crackshot Hackley manufactured comedy at will and furnish the audience with a few jokes at least. This was indeed refreshing. The cabaret and lion scenes were probably their best, Byrd, showing to particularly good advantage. The chorus of var.1-sized girls whose dancing was some of the same others we have seen furnished some fair dance numbers and by their personality made a pleasing background. Members of the chorus are Juanta Boisseau, Mildred Coleman, Myrtle Barnett, Mildred Mitchell, Lena Liggetts, Grace Michaels, Inez Smith, Rose Warren, Elsie Byrd, Estelle Binder, Drysdale and Coleman, Minor. Rice and Howard. young hoofers, draw well and Johnny Dane doing juveniles and dancing knocked a homer in a dance number with the chorus. Delmar, with his Fighting Lions, thrilled the audience and added a touch of adventure and suspense. Aces Hiigh" may not be one of the finest aggregations to grace the local boards but it is certainly one of the cleanest. There is also a good balance of comedy, singing and dancing, a diet which would agree with even the most chronic grouch. Musician's Trail By CARL DITON, for A. N. P. MARYLAND, CAMBRIDGE The trail now assumes a southern trend, temporarily, of course, for it is hardly worth entering the heart of the South for concerts until it begins to get cold in the North. Cambridge, Maryland, a small town populated with a considerable number of retired families and at one time a bustling center for the oyster industry. It situated within a stone's throw of the Chesapeake Bay, not what one could call a great distance from Philadelphia. I had threaded my way throughout the business district of Wilmington. Delaware, had made the right turn at the village of Odessa. Delaware, as designated by the Philadelphia Auto Club, and was on my way to Middletown, Delaware, when a sharp crack rang out amid the noise of the motor and my steering wheel began to wobble! Naturally I slowed down and took the usual road position of a motorist in a similar prediction. SOFT GROUND I must confess with some difficulty I succeeded in getting the naughty "long branch" wheel somewhat off the ground by means of the "jack". But I had not noticed in the excitement that the ground was a little too soft to stand much pressure on the wheel down came the "jack"—and the car! I mumbled to myself, "4 p. m., ninety miles to go, and a concert." Finally four dark-skinned, husky Samaritans came along and at about 5 p. m. after putting on muscles together, was able to proceed on my way. But the dusk that most motorists dread had begun to descend quite rapidly, and I was soon to find myself on a lonely road. pitch dark. To keep up cheer I followed a couple of fast cars and the next thing I was filled with excitement, Maryland, where my father had taught school some forty years back. forty years such BACK SEVEN MILES But as I was not feeling strong on historical backgrounds, I made inquiry as to whether I was on the road to Cambridge. "Yes," said my informant. "You may go back for seven miles over the hard road, but you could be followed along this dirt road," pointing the way, and then adding, "Of course, it's dirt, but it's good." So I started in search of the dirt road that could be "good" after a heavy rain. I knew it was not convinced me that the hard road was for me! So I started turning around. But the best way to right about on a muddy road is to forward for a few "inches," and back a few "inches," and back a few "inches," and very nearly didn't prevent me getting on the road again and there was nearly another nice hour with sixty miles and a concert! First a proud little Ford tried to pull me out but to no avail. Finally a Cadillac succeeded, and I launched out once FORCED INTO A FIELD You may rest assured that I stepped on it! But fate wasn't quite through with me. The curves are very abrupt in that part of Maryland practiced by the gym. I got there. Nevertheless, there was one that slipped up on me (or I slipped up on it) and I was forced into a field. It happened though that it was a level one and righting my self once more I rolled into Cambridge and after a few minutes the stage I would read for the concert. Of course, the moral of this is: By motor as well as by rail START EARLY! Yet the greatest art has been produced through great tribulation. According to this plan, you must have played magnificently at Cambridge, says. Your Musician. Girl Signed With, Fanchon and Narco LOS ANGELES.

Listen to what a "billboard" critic thinks of them. The Pan-American Four, singers, have an offering easily rating them as one of the best male quartet turns in vaudellee. Not only they have an attractive texture, ability to paint but a beautiful and polish that bespeaks careful training. The net result is a thorny entertaining presentation of part singing, in which the ensemble or blending of voices is far above the average. Their program is nicely balanced and cleverly arranged. It embraces jazz numbers, spiring melodies, some trick yodeling which packs a big comedy punch. The members of the quartet are all attired in farmer costumes.

ROOFING SPIRIT OF LATE JOHN MURPHY AT AFRO DINNER Fifty Men And Women At Banquet Give Annual Silent Tribute EMPLOYEES GET XMAS BONUSES Witty Program Also Fea- Club Dinner With frequent pathetic tributes to the memory of the late John H. Murphy, founder, the distribution of several thousand dollars in bonuses, and a program of sparkling witticism, a half hundred employees, officials and friends of the AFRO-AMERICAN met in their annual Christmas luncheon at the company's building Saturday. The scene of this year's festivities was a striking contrast with that of three decades ago when employees numbered about a half dozen and the holiday gifts cost less than that number dollars. With 40 full workers in attendance (the largest number employed by any race weekly), the affair was declared possibly the largest in the history of colored Baltimore. The rivalry and merry spirit prevailing, the note of pathos crept in frequently as the speakers aluded to the late founder and his son Daniel, also deceased, who lied the foundation, and the brothers and their employees. Touching even as the final moment of silent tribute to the deceased, was the speech of D. Arnett Murphy, advertiser of the "Ma say," he said. Reviewing the growth of the institution from the lean days up to the present when it is declared the first in news and makeup, he asked what could be the reason and largely made the success possible. Not Family Paper. In distributing bonuses, John H. Murphy, Jr., manager, commended workers for their part in maintaining the high standards, and urged them to cut more into the budget. The AFRO-AMERICAN he said, "does not belong to the Murphys, but it is the property of all who contribute to its success." Carl Murphy, editor declared that the founder should rather be considered in heritage to be cherished and passed on to succeeding generations. Among others who paid tribute to the founder were Isaac Bannister, Washington distributor. George B. E. Arnold, vice president, and Henry E. Arnold. Matthews As Wit Asked to tell why Christmas is celebrated, Ralph Matthews forgot his subject, launched into a sparkling line repartise, Noah Thompson, Levi Jolley, and Garrett D. Rawlings followed with offerings of carned humor. Musical numbers included a solo by little Elizabeth Murphy, who played and sang Purcell's "Passing Br." Miss Faith Woodson, of the editorial department, rendered "enveloped" the offerings" and "Hot vowes" at the piano. Present Key People Employees oldest in service and kev members of the staff were presented by the president with the company 14 years. Others who have been employed over five years were Samuel D. Hayward, William N. Jones, meaning Lester Harry Gibraltar Moye Bloo.

Just Baltimore By OBSERVER Lines On Beggars Down in Central Police Court last week, the time when most people were out looking either for favors or Christmas gifts, one begger got on the street and exchanged a Lexington street. In addition to his contribution to the city coffers or sojourn as municipal guest, he got a lecture. Lexington street must be made for shopers and beggars unwanted. The whole trouble was that the poor fellow didn't understand the "dope." He made the mistake to simply hold out his cup because he was handcapped in making a living. The other handicapped solitors (who happen to be white) don't work it that way. That one should get a minor privilege license and purchase chewing gum, pencils, shee strings or whatnots, and hold them in one hand while extending a lookout. Then he forgot that he was breaking into a white field. Un on Howard street, somewhat out of the rush district another brown man held out his hand to pedestrians but his hand was pressed against inches of holly in the other. Downtown Baltimore must be kept free of beggars. They may hold down the corners in the Northwest section or down in East. But Lexington street is reserved for hued "minor" privilege salemen. Lines On Believers Even stronger than they believe in fairies and the sun's shouting at Easter, a bunch down the street that they believe in Santa Claus. Perched about the cold stone pillars in front of the bank, a nondescript gargoyle hangs in Baltimore, waited on him there Thursday. Somehow the announcement of the fellow who gets around to the bank didn't appeal to the better dressed kids. A ragged youngster now and then looked up at the sign proclaiming Santa Claus. "Do you think he's really coming and will have a present for me?" There on the stone flagging of the school "Do you think he's really prejudice. Polish kids from South Baltimore didn't mind sharing their cold seat with darker youngsters from the other side of kids, poor and much alike, waiting on their dream man. Lines On Vanity Now that the papers are publishing complete lists of the subscribers to the papers and vanity ought to be tickled. When the journalist crowd started putting in the name of the paper, Brown, who gave a dollar more, the campaign office was swamped with protests. Curiosity to see what Jim Hibge gave and to see one's own name in print won out, and the fund expenses dollars did to the debt listed under advertising.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER Baltimore is the cradle of the A. M. E. Church. Bishop James A. Handy, who claims to have seen the death of the eighth Chai Sik, date of his death, in his scraps history that the first annual conference of the A. M. E. Church was held in Baltimore and therefore the Baltimore Conference is the mother conference in his history gives Bethel, Baltimore conference over that of Philadelphia. Not only because its written procedure dates back to any other, but also its annual deliberations have always been prior to those of others. It will be remembered that at the time of the organization of the A. M. E. Church in 1816, no conference was held until 1818. Also Bishop Payne that to the counsel and man of Stephen Hill, more than to any other man, the church was indebted for the form it took. John T. Jenifer in his history states that the first Philadelphia conference was held May 3, 1818. Baltimore shows records of conference proceedings dated April 7, 1918. Baltimore is final conference proceedings two years before date of Philadelphia. Blind Senator Heflin Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama, is opposed to seating Smith and Vare because of the money they spent in the election. He drew a laugh in the senate the other day when he declared that Republicans vote anybody in Philadelphia, all they want is a name. He told of registrars asked a colored voter if anyone lived in his home. The voter said "No sir, nobody but my dog Tige." "Tige who?" "Tige Johnson." They said, "Put him down and vote him." Perhaps Pennsylvania is politically corrupt, but how could Mr. Heflin serve 20 years in the state is equally as corrupt? There, according to estimates of Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, but 3500 colored people vote and less than 100 of these are in Birmingham. By the time Alabama invokes its poll tax and property tests, its educational and grandfather clause tests, it disfranchises one million persons of both races. Surely there should be some middle ground between Pennsylvania which votes a few too many persons and Alabama which votes a milieu. Moreover, we wonder how much time Mr. Helin can give to Pennsylvania graft since his own confession took from me, the unseen torture of misons, preachers and KluX for anti-Catholic aid and anti-Mexico lectures last summer. A number of these lectures were inserted in the Congressional Record. Democrats of Boston learning of the fees sent a letter to Mr. Helin, saying that the Helin be read out of the Democratic party." Governor Ritchie Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Democrat, Maryland's chief executive, came into the lime light this week by entertaining the children of the State Capital at an annual Christmas party in Annapolis theaters. But three days before Christmas, Governor Ralph J. James, A. Walton, white, of Annapolis, to the Board of Managers of the State Hospital for Negro Insane at Crownville, in Anne Arundel County. Mr. Walton fills the vacancy caused by the death of Harry J. Hopkins, white, of Annapolis a few days ago. Ritchie is running true to form. Speaking over the country advocating the various phases of his State's rights program, he seeks to impress the nation that he is a fit candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. He never has a word to say, however about the rights of the minority so that there is not a similar institution under colored management, although at Henryton, the tuberculosis hospital, the Mélvale School for Girls, and the Crownville Hospital for the Insane all of the patients or inmates are colored. As a governor, Mr. Ritchie has been a disgust. As a candidate for president, we think he would make a better entertainer of children. Toleration Protestants, Catholics and Jews gathered in a goodwill banquet recently at the Southern Hotel. The Protestant speaker was the Rev. Charles E. Offenbach of the Brownsville Tabernacle, New York. The Protestant Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts; and the Jewish speaker Rabbi Stephen Wise, of New York. The banquet was arranged by the Rev. Albert E. Smith, editor of the Baltimore Catholic Review, Dr. Peter Anisle, of Christian Temple and Rabbi Edward L. Israel, of Har Sinai Temple. Inasmuch as no colored persons were invited to this banquet, we respectively suggest that the name "tolerance banquet" should have been changed to "white tolerance banquet." Not much tolerance is involved when a Jew or a Christian, or a Protestant and a Catholic, down at the banquet. It would be a shame of the Christianity of the entire committee, however, had the program been broad enough to include all races. Champagne President and Mrs. Coolidge attended the opening night of the American Opera Company at Poli's Theatre recently. The singers were received at the White House caterer in the day. Mr. Coolidge sat in the box of Mr. Joseph Leiter, referred to the newspapers as the whole performance, stayed through the whole performance and complimented the director at its conclusion. After the opera President and Mrs. Coolidge went home, while Mrs. Leiter is reported as welcoming the American Opera Company at a party envisioned by her bountiful store of champagne. At that Mrs. Leiter has nothing on a certain Baltimore caterer who gave his fifteenth birthday party last week, the features of which, according to press reports were an "ofaf" orchestra and more champagne than the guests could drink. Dispensing of champagne evidently has government approval except when a fellow like Earl Carrol puts it into a bathhug. Call VE rmon 6016 Why We Oppose Public Segregation By WILLIAM PICKENS People are often impatient with each other's attitude because they have never considered each other's viewpoint. For example: Why do the students segregate in public places and in public institutions, while the great majority of white Americans either favor such segregation or are, at least, tolerant of it? What are the reasons and the illustrations are plentiful. This is the answer: In public segregation the minority, or weaker people always get the worst of it; while the majority, or dominant, people always get the best of it. In The Gallery Now, the illustration of this truth in American life are legion. In fact, every single person in the United States is illustrated of it. For examples: In segregation in places of amusement, the colored people are never put down next to the stage or platform they can see and hear best, but out at the back or in the last gallery where they see and hear least. In segregation on the trains and other public transportation, they always give over the wheels or up amidst the smoke of the engine. When the public schools are segregated, colored children always given a school they further attend over the average colored child; a school with inferior equipment, fewer seats to the number of pupils, more pupils in the school; a teacher with an average much smaller teaching force, which therefore, in the long run, must necessarily have a teaching force of less training and lower cffi- No Exact Justice There can be no such thing as a segregated public school system that can do exact justice to the two equalities that take the two adequate public school systems; therefore every state and city of the Union that has so far attempted it, finds itself after a few years in the process of making it more appropriate for the children of the dominant group and another set of schools for the dominated people on a more or less makehift basis. This is of course not necessarily necessary certainly knows no countervailing law. For illustration: In the United States there are ten white people for every one colored person, and ten black people for every one necessary but in most of the states the proportion of the colored population is much smaller than that—being in some northern and western states for every fifteen or even less. Usually and on the average the ratio of colored children of school age to white children of school age is about the same as in the general colored population in any given state. The Why Of Poor Schools Beating that fact in mind, let us now consider the plight of such a minority if it must be put under the authority of the public authorities will do everything possible to be fair to the minority, at least to see that it gets its proportionate share of the public school funds. Say, for instance, that there are fifty children of white and twenty of black whites or 2,500 white children. And suppose that the school funds per capita are $20—twenty dollars for each child, white and colored, of the money they can have a school for $1,000; while the other children of the community would have a school for $50,000. One thousand dollars for each child, white and colored, they can have a sanifon; not to speak of a teacher, the equipment, the rent and the coal bill. In other words, when a minority is put out of the body politic, the real justice is not statistical justice, would be to give it much more than its proportionate share of the funds, and that would be a hardship and injustice to the majority people, for it would be too hard and lower the quality of their institutions. A Fifty To One Case What usually happens is: In the 50 to 1 case, the school board, having a conscience, will take a bit more than the $1,000 from the funds and endeavor to increase the white schools—for every dollar over the twenty dollars spent on each colored child is evidently a charge against the per capita fund for whites. Therefore the school minority becomes "the white schools' irritation is increased and the race problem is identified. People who do not analyze will feel vexed at this Negro burden instead of feeling vexed at the system of segregation which makes this anomalous condition. The white schools' irritation is increased and the school children were simply kept in the general school system, the burden of their education, would simply fall into its normal economic proportion. If they are ousted, either a white school or a black school, the efficiency of the whole system lowered, or both of these things may happen, and usually both do happen. The states that maintain "separate" schools, have inferior school systems for both races. So far, we have not segregated inculcated the administration would give to colored people their per capita share of the funds. We only assumed that for the purpose of making the argument unanswerable by assumption, that the white schools' irritation is increased and the race problem is identified. But this assumption is contrary to the facts in nine tenths of the cases of segregation. In states where racial segregation in the school district is objectionable by law, states like Mississippi, South Carolina and Alabama, the Neerzo child in the separate school is given only one eighth one cent of the total amount of money, twentieth of his per capita share of the school funds. There is not a state of the south in which even though in all of the southern states, except two, the Neerzo's full per capita share of the states, except two, the Neerzo's full per capita share of the states, with inferior or schools. Who Pays Taxes? One of the drawbacks to fair thinking in such matters has been the false economic notion that people who smash the taxes. The people who work, and who rent and buy goods, even if they never see the tax collector, are the very people who abide all others pay the taxes. The man who the house pays the taxes on the house, not the landlord. The landlord, of course, hands the money to the tax-collector and gets the receipt. The landlord is but the agent of society for the component; for the landlord is the one of the two who is less likely to move and the one who cannot easily avoid the responsibility of his office. But not one who understands the matter supposes that the landlord owns the taxes like the insurance and all other costs and expenses of the property, are added to the rent which the tenant pays. Similarly, most of the pair of shoes pays a pound of round of meat or that pair of shoes. The taxes of the business, like all other costs, are passed on to the worker and consume the money for his wages are lower because the taxes are higher. In Mississippi In Mississippi at least half of the people are colored. If the colored people were of the same economic condition as the white people, half of the taxes would be when we consider that colored people in Mississippi are out of all proportion as renters, workers and ultimate consumers of such goods, it is clear that they pay most of the taxes, even though they have the smallest contact with the people. The dominant people need never fear that they pay the taxes for the economically weaker people; the laws of the present economic system take care of that.

Haywood Brown Ought Not Read Sub-Deb Chatter. To the Editor. I think J. Haywood Brown's comments on the "Chatter" by the author were more offensive to intelligent people than the expressions used in the "Chatter", which he thinks are a disgrace. He is an intelligent man. I can't imagine him reading such "uplogarism" as he says appears in the "Chatter" and "Dance Fan" with his own words. He doesn't like what he did. I think he is a tilt eccentric and forgets the AFRO has other readers. If he likes Lillian Lottier's and Maybe Coyle's books, why doesn't he read them and omit the "Chatter" column? I'm sure the editor wouldn't mind. I truly hope the AFRO won't have to discontinue the "Chatter" to maintain its high ratings. Dr. Scott Wood Says He Is Alumni Secretary Of Howard University. To the Editor: In your excellent paper of Saturday, December 24, 1927 under the caption of "Dr. Wormley Wormley," you wrote that Dr. Wormley Wormley is quoted as saying that "the Alumni Association of Howard University had not elected a secretary as yet and that Scott Wood was only a secretary." I do not think that Dr. Wormley has been correctly quoted in this matter and if he has, he is not properly informed of the action of the Alumni Association. The election was held at the Rankin Memorial Church upon the campus, 1927, at which time all of the officers were elected. I do not know whether that number I was unanimously elected secretary of the Alumni Association. Although I have not received the salary, that does not destroy the fact that I am a member of the Association and I will in due time have the matter adjusted. If I am not secretary of the Alumni neither is Dr. eGorre Frazier Miller the president nor the other officers elected. And I shall continue to perform the duties until the end of my office. 1826 Another Who Wrote On "Richmond" Is Mildly Taken To Task By A Reader In New Jersey. To the Editor: I wish to contradict some very misleading statements which are attributed to the writer of this article. In my experience, his reference After reading a portion of the article, I paused and wondered whether or not the writer was referring to Richmond, the capital city of a former teacher of mine convinced me that the Richmond he portrayed was a product of a-shell I say wonderful imagination. To say that the streets in Richmond are marvelous and the streets in New York are correct. Out, out of the hundreds of streets inhabited by members of our race, only four of them are so named, and there, as in any other large city, certain parts of these streets are not as well cared for The statement pertaining to white principals is commendable, yet the writer is probably unaware that a few years back, the entire faculty of the high school was white. Nerous forces for a change and were present, as did race protesters, in the course of a few years. See, white principals eradicated. In reference to Prof. Lindsey. I wish to state that there is not a more progressive Neuro to be found in the school of the State Teachers' Association. As a teacher he is well respected, in fact, the senior class of 26 of which I was a member, dedicated a year to the school, and published in the state. to his honor. Is not that a sure sign of twentieth century leadership? This, briefly, is the Rishmond I know. I am constant reader of the AFRO and it is a credit to Better Things Besides Dances At The Alpha Phi Alpha Meeting. To the Editor: I beg to call your attention to an editorial appearing in the issue of the ALPHA ANCED Dated December 19, 2014. The title of the editions "College Dance Hounds." The author takes the trouble to berate fraternities in general and the Alpha Phi Alpha in particular for social activity indicated in the annual ALPHA ANCED page previous week. The writer very graciously gave the Phi Beta Sigma some free advertisement and most hearty encouragement the fraternity was free from such malignant influence as social activities and that all other fraternities were simply Bacchianalians. It is very surprising to me that a mentorship should be offered to the PRO-AMERICAN especially since this department is in a position to find out the policy and the ideals of the Alpha Phi Alpha nit; and other fraternities in this department have not offered the program. It has not official organ of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, was edited by Prof. Carl Murphy, an Alpha Phi Alpha man. Evidently Mr. Murphy sullen or he could inform the writer that the social activities are booked for the convention at Cleveland, December 27th to 31st. At the convention the fraternity, host the trip to sienna college, report of the school, Go-to-College" campaign conducted by the fraternity this year. The fraternity also intends to hear a few words, John Hone, president of College, John Hone, which also have a few minutes to discuss the fight by the pulman porters. The fraternity also will discuss the Inter-Fraternity educational plan as suggested by the president, which, perhaps, Hon. J. D. Marshall, Mayor J. Cleveland, will address the convention as promised and is scheduled to present wholesome features of the convention which will be given due publication after the convention. Now, Mr. Editor, is my hope that this letter, written by the spirit of publication) will explain the attitude of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and change the impression conceived in editorial that all fraternities except the Phi Beta Sigma are "Dance Hounds" in dimmer lighting. racket and canine units as trade marks.

Your First Lady Your first lady, Mrs. Marr McLeod Bethune, president of the National Association of Colored Women and college lounge. Talking with the Post in New York is taking directly to ladies and gentlemen who run New York. "Mrs. Bethune attended the meeting of the Walt-dorf-Astoria, From a plantation to the ballroom of the Waltdorf-Astoria is no small step. Mrs. Bethune took it, though in the beginning but little encouragement that she would make." Young ladies, study Mrs. Bethune, the unhixed queen, who overcame both nobility, prejudice within as well as without, the handicap of being a woman. She is reckoned with, charming enough to eb sought. She is one of the three great women of color. Margaret J. Washington, Maggie L. Walker, Mary McLeed Bethune. There are other ladies of interest in the world. HORDELERS. Mrs. Bethune told the Post: "Each year we colored women feel more at home. A more harmonious feelings seem to be developed. We are received as any one else in these conventions. I am able to participate in all parts of the program and am sure of a welcome wherever I go." She said, "The council of Women. The great lady had something else to say. She thought: "We have a great number of obstacles to overcome. I believe in my racial integrity and will not REST until it is recognized everywhere. We are in the field of women. You see there the determination of woman—will not REST." Southern white ladies at the Council meeting, back home, will say to their followers: We are in the field of women. Some women down means NO women altogether up." The great ambition of Margaret Washington was realized when Mrs. Bethune became president of Colored Women. The great knows its Young Men Look 4. All news is important; not hearsay, but news—what IS, not what is SAID to be, but what actually is too, too much, too much, too much, and rain, struggles, achievements, hands get and intellect, the modesty of genius and the how of the hit dog—Lindbergh and Heffin. Then, plenty news for YOU this week. Leave *Lindbergh* and visit with MAN a little while. See Lindbergh, a young man, play the real hero. On day, about noon, Lindbergh, having laughed and feeling good lifts his airship from earth towards the sky in Washington, and waves an adieu to a few friends. The next day around noon he lights in Mexico two thousand mils away, and bows to a hundred thousand strangers, all speaking a strange language. Young men, think of Lindbergh. Resolve to try a new field and think but little of glory, of getting your name in the press. Imagine IMAGINATION or achievement, and newspapers will worry about you, how to get your picture, how to get you to talk, sign up with you for a story of your life, you ask a teacher, and you go to a school to "go ye into the world" and solve a "race problem". Gentlemen, there is no "race problem". As you are so you were made by the Power that set you down where you are made that "race problem" trying to prove that TRUTH. One young man of color in the U. S. able to lift an airship to the sky as passersby, the night would lift a people with him and steer them through a night of despair. Big problems aerial solved by little things. Oaks from little acorns grow. Asked for a few words before leaving Greece, Alexander replied. "I may make a few remarks on him but you will hear me from at least as Pervyr." Returning Flags Perhaps you saw the picture of President Coolidge standing on the steps of the White House flanked by Union Soldiers and Stars pressed in the gray that once typified rebellion. Give that picture study deep thoughts. The gathering held a ceremony to honor Stars and Stems, the occasion of accession and slavery that was returned to the rebellion states by Maine through Governor Srewster. That IS important news. While this is the case, the situation so much the case should be slapped, look over the matter. Only a handful of rebel soldiers are left and if the evening of their lives can be made happy they fought to keep women in prostitution and men in bondage, don't deny them that pleasure. By this time Grant and Lee have made us. Most likely Lee has confessed to Grant how he knew from the time he met John Brown at Harper's Ferry that God was moving around. "However," Lee may have said. "I followed my mother, although I knew pride always goes before a fall." A few days ago a company of distinguished colored citizens, among them Kesey, Garnett Wilkerson, the noted educator, John T. Risher, and others, took a trip to Gettsyburg. This humble writer staved in, thinking of the gratitude of these gentlemen. Stayed in and read Lincoln's As long as there is a Gettyburg you can overlook Mr. Coolidge in the picture, the return of rebel flags and "Dixie," which was written by a man, being man on Pennsylvania avenue. Keep your eye on Lincoln at Gettyburg and nothing at the White House NOW can disturb you. Progress may order flank movements but it requires you to give three cheers for Robert Lee. Grants needs none. He is cheered by you, by your children, now free and to marry to yours, colored and to marry to the Confederate ordered around to suit whims and passions. For give and forget. More Facts 6. Distinguished colored men, most of them gentlemen on salary, first in one thing, then another, meet "Dear Lord, dear friend." That conference ought to have wide influence. For example, you ought to see that if you propose to go along with the civilization of YOUR country, you will have to look further than books and the "I second the motion" crowd. B or three or four people spoke formally abruptly, as to your business matters. Young people do no business feeling either one way or the other about the work of elders. THEIR dutty is to IMPROVE upon the work of older men and criticize in the silence of deeds better done. Angelo gazed in pride on a work of Ranhael and, calling for a ladder, ascended. With a stroke here, and others, using a hammer, unpacked clothes to a beautiful picture. Asked why he didn't let another touch up the work. Angelo replied, "I can criticize only with my brush." Young ladies and gentlemen with a dance card in one hand and a book in the other usually looking for a school to teach or a job in an art studio, do much to mimic using your present装置. Tell youth to look: learn, labor, dare, DO! Civilization*s, peoples, races are built on the soil, in factories, from the mines, upon the seas. Another FACT. Colored gentlemen who grow rich each month help the church money helping to win back the citizenship lost by the people when Uncle Sam turned his head a minute. What did the Durham conference did towards updating the work of Josephine Daniels, F. M. Simmons, now a senator in Washington, and Charles B. Aycock, now an attorney. Also you can wonder what colored gentlemen of North Carolina will do about Mr. Blair, who in bragging the tree, and went to Washington to bragg about it. Think of North Carolina, state of great intelligence: once the state of stout souls of your race.

They have control of the legal reserve of all the member banks, and are, therefore, able to concentrate funds where most needed. The Federal Reserve System produces loans that increase or decrease as business conditions justify.

T. **The lying** The year is old—the trees fly high. And somber tints bede the sky; And dry reeds quiver in the blast. And songs of lark and thrush are past. The hills beyond rear gaurt and bare, And meads are bleak—trees everywhere and ways—grim ghosts of sunny yesterday! The clouds hang low: the winds are harsh, And yonder in December's marsh, Where purple flags were wont to grow. The sun reflects cold atrium. A requiem is sung at night Through branches leafless by the blight. Where purple flags were wont to grow Keeps beckoning the year is old. Here's My Poultry Honny New Year "Ring out the old-ring in the new!" That can't mean much to me and you. Each month my bills I still must view. I like it. And still must drink synthetic brew. My hungry kids, a sturdy crew. As active as the savage sloux. We can always drink. Or rend their sturdy garments through Much quicker than I ever knew Will still think that I'm well-to-do. My luck breaks. I'll still wear. The world could have no lighter hue. My bitter pill I still will chew. And Old Man Gloom will still pursue Me in this world that so askew. Be careful, quite a nous, I guess my awful bugaboo Is simply that I'm feelin' blue. "Ring out the old-ring in the new!" With health and wealth and pleasure too A Happy New Year, folks, to you! The New Year Dear Lino: Ring on. Ring on. O bells and甜-sweet Ring on. and mug and fell! Ring out, ring out, all—jubilant, this joyous glad refrain: "A bright New Year, a glad New Year, hath come to us again." Oh, who can say how much of joy within it there may be Stored up for us, who listen now to your sweet mebody? Good-bye, Old Year! Tried, trusty friends, tiny tale at last is told. O New Year, write thou thine for us in lines of brightest gold! AMOS W. A Prayer For The New Year Dear Liar: Give us freely each day of the Spirit of Tolerance. May we be kindly disposed one toward another. Help us to esteem ourselves modestly, and to esteem our fellows generously. Help us to search diligently for Truth in the heart. Mind; and may we direct our Thoughts, our Words, and our Acts only toward Good.—M. R. Gas Right On Dear Lino: When dad had dates with maw he turned down the gas instead of stepping on 15. She Probably Was Dear Lino: An account of a recent wedding said: "The bride was attractive in an arm bokay of bride's roses and sweet peas." R. O. I "I'm With You Buddy" Dear Lintotype: If women continue to shoot and kill their husbands as they do in the past, they won't bawl out the woman he paid $125 for. If the steak is tough an' the biscuits are hard a fellow will have to eat at a restaurant. Then, if he does that, he likely to get a hammer.

What do you suppose he asked me as has chicken pox will he lay eggs (cake now)? T. RUE No, You Win Dear Lintotype:—I'm a freshman girl at Howard, and I've been trying to figure out why they call me a co-ed. My findings are these: "Ed" is my shiek's name and Co (with) her name and Co (with) and an sure with him every chance I get. Have you looked up the word? I. M. Another New Word Dear Lintotype:—Former President Wilson coined the word "normalcy" and since I am much an American citizen as he was, can coin a new, new companion. I am a young, a young lady may say, Bill and I were companionated" instead of saying "we were married". C. M. T. New Year Resolutions Dear Lino: I was just getting ready to write down some resolutions for the New Year when I ran across those I made last year, by the time I got to the office I had the before. Now you can't say I don't keep my New Year's resolutions, can you? The Last Line Are you all thru? Well then, remember. It takes brains to make money, and character to keep it. Another thing, a new year is the entrance to a new hall of progress—LINOTYPE. Poem This Week I am the New Year, and I come to you pure and unstained. Fresh flesh, the hand of God. Each day, a precious pearl, to you is given That you must string upon the silver thread of, their hand. Once strunge can never be unthreaded but stays and undyng record of your faith and skill. Each golden hour you must then weld the chain of hours That is no stronger than its weakest link. Into your hands is given all the wealth and power To know your life just what you will I give to you, free and unstinted, twelve glorious months Of soothing rain and sunshine golden; The nights for work and rest, the nights for peaceful slumber. All that I have I give with love unspoken. All that I ask—you keep the faith unbroken! Page Nine DAY BY\DAY American Institutions And The Trend Of Crime Big crimes like the revolting Hickman slaying of a 12-year old white girl and the Snyder killing may rivet your attention on the acute phases of this growing menace, but you don't have to be an alarmist to take a look at the whole question of laffness in America. Big the crimes are but big bios and creptions which break through the surface at an alarming rate. External conditions infiltrating the whole rubric of society under our present institutions which need serious study. These are not unnoticed, we are having to increase police numbers, build bigger jails, widen insane asylum facilities and increase public homes where the dregs of human society can be kept. We are having to may well complicate an age when one half of the world will be engaged in the business of keeping the other half from committing suicide or tearing its entire body. The whole question depends upon whether, under our present institutions, crime and laffness are on the increase or decrease in the number and economic growth of the country. If it is on the comparative increase, then we must either modify our institutions and living or prepare for the fate of other people whose corruptions destroyed their civilizations. Our System Of Out in the jungle sometimes a tiger lies in wait and springs upon its prey in the mere struggle for food. The hyena, the wolf and panther all slay that they might live in a world where killing is the only way they can find subsistence. RARELY, HOWEVER, DO THEY LIE IN WAIT FOR THEIR OWN KIND. HUMAN BEINGS DO THAT. No tiger ever sprang with such sordid cunning as did William E. Hickman, when he tore the heart out of 12 year old Marian Parker. Yet what Hickman did lawlessly, millions of people try to do within the law—under a system of living guided by a selfish struggle for the things which they think make them happy. Shut your eyes and form a picture of the greedy millionaire who pounces upon working men and women and takes for himself the product of their toil BECAUSE OF HIS SUPERIOR FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE OR GENIUS; the war lord who kills that foolish men and women may satisfy his vanity; the scheming manipulator who sells a quarter's worth for a dollar; the grafting politician who pockets the nation's wealth, and you will have in substance the same impulse that makes the highwayman, or a Hickman who butchers a 12 year old girl that he might get money to pay his way in college. There will always be degenerates, but the general trend of lawlessness, the get-in-any way—you can spirit, and economic buckup hour—will keep 1000 and 1000 hours a day working men and $1000 12 hour per day tollers in the same factories; where we have prosperity and at the same time thousands of workers who cannot find jobs, is a problem. No family would tolerate selfishness within its ranks, and nations like families must produce statesmen and systems with the determination to wipe out unjust injustice. We might well study just how far our growing crime and lawlessness is being produced by our institutions and social customs. And Fond Parents If Noah Thompson's youthful column had done nothing more than prove the serious thinking relied on by Jaywood Brown's last week's Afro-AMERICAN Readers Say department, it would have served a valuable purpose. Mr. Brown, like a lot of "unisophisticated" people, has written a piece in his "just too bad" talk, but talk to him in some time on a group of these vivacious young boys and girls and he will return a musician referred to by him. Is it. Perthshire the thousands of Browns throughout the country kept in little more familiar touch with just what young people talk about and how they express it, there would be less cause for criticism. Chatham will not be all that is desired in cultural expression; it may even give us apprehension at times; but it is the talk and chatter of this group and nothing else is going on. But the trich like in the sand, and refusing to listen to it. It may be safe to soft pedal what grown-ups talk about and how they express it, but with young people the best safety we have is in unmerciful and frank facing the facts. A Thought With Walter Malone Walter Malone, late Memphis poet, said many wise things, but he rose to his zenith when he gave advice to men and women who wanted their life more fulfilling. Meeting him one day in the Cossit Library in that city, the poet expressed desire to write something inspiring to race men and women, and he fulfilled this wish. His poem "Opportunity" however should be an inspiration to men and women who think they have failed. We give it space as good reading for beginning the Opportunity ...They do me wrong who say I come no more. When once I knock and fail to find you in; For every day I stand outside the door, And bid you wake, and rise to fight again. Wail not for precious chances passed away, Weep not for golden ages on the wane; Ease not the records of the day; At sunrise every soul is born again. Laugh like a boy at splendors that have sped, To laugh joys be blind, and deaf and dumb; My judgments seal the dead past with the dead: But never blain a moment yet to come. Though deep in mire, wring not your hands and weep; I lend an arm to all who say "I can." No shamfucked outcast ever sank so deep But yet might rise and be again a man. Dost thou they lost youth all agast? Doth reel from righteous retribution's blow? Then turn from the hidden archives of the past And find the future's pages white as snow. Art thou a murmurer? Rouse thee from thy spell! Art thou a sinner? Sins may be forgiven; Each morning gives the wings to flee from hell, Each night to guide the feet to heaven! Look And Learn 1. Which is the nearest planet to the earth? 2. What our greatest critic, as well as one of our reading books? 3. When was the first U. S. census taken? 4. What city of South America is situated on one of the world's most fertile islands? 5. What man is credited with a great discovery through flying a kite?

C. 46-24 in the Parish House Gym. Murphy, St. Christopher's elusive forward, put the locals out in front a minutes after the opening whistle went on a rampage. Seay and Satchell closed the half to the time of 26-5. The seafold half found the visitors out for blood with Sonny Hawkins leading the battle. They piled up 19 points in second half but St. Christopher's lead was to much to overcome. Harlemites are already visualizing Coach Bradford's charges as the team to meet the winner of Defiant Bobbitt's Mid-Western League for the Bobbitts of the U. S.

HOWARD'S CASE IN HANDS OF CIA A H'ADS Agreement On The Four Year Collegiate Rule Only Thing To Break Barrier 'PREP' MEN ELIGIBLE FOR VARSITY AT HOWARD U. Howard-Lincoln Game Al- most Certain WASHINGTON—"Unless the Athletic Committee of the C. I. A. A., agrees upon the four year collegiate eligibility rule, Howard University will not join that or organization this year or the next." stated Dr. E. P. Davis chairman of the Athletic Council, Thursday, when interviewed by a rep- resentative of the AFRO. This was the only statement forthcoming from the Bison's executive, who with other members of the university, and other members of the C. I. A. Army general officers, got the AFRO Office with the expectation of clearing up the wrangle between Howard and C. I. A. A. A. E. The Conti oversaw that which has been a long Dr. E. P. drawer since he began in 1924 when the Southern conference ousted Howard because they used "Tubby" Miller, a former player, in that circuit. Lincoln University was also dumped out when they agreed to play Howard as usual in the annual Thanksgiving Game. The Trojan. The Howard Athletic body contends that a man who plays four years on a preparatory eleven in one of the C. I. I. A. schools, still has four years more of football to play when he enters college. The members of the team are made up of "prep" as well as college men, aver that a player can only play football four years in the conference, whether he is college or prep. C. I. A. A. Viewpoint C. I. A. A. viewpoint that is within two years, preparatory teams will be on a college basis and able to meet Howard's demands. Meantime, says Secretary Charles Williams, Howard ought to come into the association and help smaller schools to come up to higher standards. Howard, because it is big, ought not to want to impose its rules, excellence in school, when football men are so scarce in colleges that the props are called on to help out. A Compromise Howard could afford, they say, to enter the C. I. A. A., and schedule 2 or 3 games, agreeing to play them under C. I. A. A. rules but using its own eligibility rules when it plays non-conference games like Wilberforce and Atlanta. Lincoln Lincoln, who is a member of the C. I. A. A., buttens a strictly college eleven, will probably meet. Howard as usual in the annual Thanksgiving game. As the matter now stands, Shaw is the only C. I. A. A. team in that section using all college men when Hampton, Union, A. A. and T. State, Va. Seminary and St. Paul all move into the collegiate ranks, maybe then the wrangle will be settled. GEE NAMED TO LEAD FISK Howard U. Not On Nashville Schedule For Next Year NASHVILLE.

Friday night. A second after the whistle sent opposing quintets into action permitted the team to show how bad sent in different sum than that which met the Elks in previous week. A few minutes after the whistle turned fouled Jones, who completed half of the team's scoring, Sheffield started on a shootout rampage that the combined effaces of the opposing team seemed to stop. As one of the players and almost single-minded pulled up a 24 to 6 margin, scoring of its team's points. Jones displayed a better form than he did in the first encounter and took credit for four field goals and two touchdowns in the fall accounted for one each. A lack of team work was a great injury in the defeat of the Elks Team Brown of the aggregation is driving increasing symptoms of concussion and a period of concussion on the bench would give an opportunity to recuperate in a good team man. Stress Defense The victory was the culmination of the game during which Cash Drew stressed defensive tactics. His sleagon for the night was that they shall not pass. How successfully did they succeed in the fact that the game ended 47 in 16 in favor of his charges. Eight of the opponents' points were scored in long shots and two were the result of fouls. Mixup During the last period Simpson scored a rebound and referee Gibson got into a foul and bounced both. Morgan ran up such a substantial lead in the game that it frequently relied on "freezing" the ball at which art the team's breakup took place. This maneuver usually resulted in one Morgan player slipping under the basket for a score. Morgan has rounded into form. The first game made it seem doubtful if the 1927 champions could come back. They had speed and accuracy and were able to process the processes. Morgan made the Elkos look like high school boys because of the high speed the Boars maintained. Elke Carroll, midfielder sophomore, went in as a substitute in the last round. They've put in the "massively velled the Morgan" move and went to talk about the eve could scare to follow the play.

In the metropolitan city of New York, the staggering sum of $48,000,000 was spent by devotees of sport. Other, more modest, sources of the history of Spardon have fans in every branch of sport undertaken to support the tariff imposed by the powerful cars who rule with iron hands. C. C. Pyle, with his high salaried tennis professionals, and the magnetic "Red Grange rivalled Ricketts," have the shock to fight lovers the world over was the sudden passing of Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, picturesque middleweight champion, who first saw the light of day at Camille, Georgia. Walk Miller, the inapparable manager, pal of the soul paw of the world, would undergo a minor operation at the hands of the skilled Dr. Fraalik, well known bone specialist who gained no little fame through reconstructing the fighting paws of Jack Delaney, Paul Benchenbach, Gene Tunney, and Harry Wills. Flowers An operation was performed immediately for the correction of Flowers' frontal bone over the right eye that bothered him considerably for a number of years. It was later given out by Dr. Fraalik, that the Georgia Deacon suffered from a complaint that seldom appeared with those of mature age and that he was known to be a medical professional as "Lamphiatus." Like the never to be forgiven "Florence Mills" for whom the theatrical world still mourns, Flowers left a valuable estate estimated at $300,000 in buildings and holdings and was known to be the most famous of this will is in progress. The bursting of the "Harry Wills Bubble" at the hands of the talkative ex-sailorman Jack Sharkey, brought the herculean figure of George Godfrey into the picture. Prior to defeating Wills, Sharkey used George Godfrey to the rescue. Godfrey took the mastodonic colored fighter had gone through the 12 rounds without extra exertion. In his New York appearances against Jack Townsend and Martin Burke, Jimmy Dudherdy's protégé looked positively terrible. Like Godfrey, he was a brilliant fighter, and preto another "Dark Menace" was brought into being via the route of the facile pen of countless sport writers the country over. Potentially, Godfrey is the greatest boxer of the present day and figures to defeat Hiskor and the other great fighter. Godfrey is a skinking crew with consummate ease, finishing off with a win over the self-contained Gene Tunney. But championships are not won on paper, and there are many fans who still claim that George is lacking in real class and skill. Godfrey is a brilliant fighter, sharing in that opinion, and expects 1928 to find Godfrey, the toughest sort of nut to crack for anyone in the racket. Its dollars to doughnuts that the white brigade will give him the well known "runaround," as has Dempsey given Harry Wills. Oscar Charleston Still Great Charleston, unquestionably the greatest colored flycatcher and hitter in baseball, showed no signs of wear and tear. His wonderfully developed legs still carry him over the baseline paths with the speed of a frightened jack-knife. He is a potent factor against the best white and colored pilchers in the land. The Chicago American Giants won the 1927 baseball championship in the eight club circuit of the "National Negro Baseball League," an organization that is much stronger than any of the Minor Leagues in Canada and the United States. In fact the brand of ball played around the league was the "American League" in the 1927 berlind Posey's Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh, revived the memories of the Lincoln Giants of 1914, and Rube Foster's Famous Leland and American Giant ensembles of 1907-08-09-10. Vic Harris, Jap Washington, Mackey, entered the hall of fame during the late season, Dihigo the crack Cuban all around player was the most valuable colored ball player of the season, and he was the most valuable big lee star as Manush, Helman, Eddie Collins, and others pronouncing him the best thrower in all baseball. Colored football reached its usual high pinnacle, the annual Howard-Lincoln clash drawing a crowd of 20,000 from various parts of the country. Football West Virginia Institute, Bluefield, Wilberforce, Tuskegee, Edward, and Tallahoga, turned out powerful pitchers, and a few could be picked to pick an "All American," but space does not permit at this writing, and our selections for the season's close was published late in November. Wesley Foster, Wanachie H. S. and now of Washington State University, is a likely candidate for the Olympic teams in the sprints. He is just about the "fastest human" from 50 to 75 yards, and is a splendid relay performer. Butler of Geneva College, the inimitable Dehart Hubbard, and the most successful British Guiana in the 1928 Olympics at Amsterdam Holland; Charlie Mayor of St. Bonaventure, Cecil Cooke, of Syracuse; Cater, the broad jumping marvel from the doughy Isle of Haiti who has leaped over 25 feet, 6 inches were roughly, the year's sensation among the copper colored athletes. He is the most successful skirts of "Cass High School" to any a track meet victory. Randy Taylor of Tuffs, at present Ast. Football Coach at Johnson C.

He was the most successful Howard P. Drew. In basketball the Renaissance Big Five were but a stone's throw behind the World champion Celtics. Jenkins, Mayers, Faill, Slocum, Sanders, Ricks, and Saitch comprised the outfit that humbled the best professional clubs in the country. Ever Saitch won the tennis championship but was forced to relinquish his precious baule to Tuffs in the second half of the season, a badly sprained ankle contributing heavily to his defeat. Tommy Burns, who held the heavyweight championship of the world after Jim Jeffries had retired unbeaten, admits that size alone prevented his being a great world's title holder. This stocky little fellow, who was a stride back of greatness in everything he ever attempted in the way of a title, had been incapacified because he lacked in heft and stature he made up in courage, ability, determination there can be no doubt. It wasn't until Burns met Jack Johnson for the title in Australia that he realized how unkind nature had been to him. He tried to flog the giant black bear, but the bear refused to let him pass. It was on the occasion of this battle in the far away Land of the Southern Cross that the late Jack London wrote of Johnson's "golden smile," the "aubysmal brute." London was touring the world in his small boat, the Shark, at the time and was the only writer worth while lucky enough to be on the ground. He was very confident that he could whip Johnson despite the vast difference in their sizes. Johnson tricked every Australian betting man who popped up with a penny to bet on the result. He went about the streets with the aid of a cane, wearing dark glasses, the picture of dejection and utter collapse, the inner reason for doing this aside from the desire to clean up in the betting. He was afraid that Burns in the end would realize that he was up against a physical stone wall and might withdraw from the match to save his title. Whether Burns was taken in by Johnson's hoodwinking is not known. If he was not, he ignored the match. He went in to whip Johnson for good and all. How he failed is musty ring history. Burns had knocked out Jack Palmer and Gunner Moir in England, Jem Roche in Ireland, Jewey Smith in France and Quirrel in England. Jem Roche's world's heavyweight champion it was Burns. Yet there loomed before him the menacing shadow of Johnson. When they finally came to the ring Johnson toyed with Burns as he had always played with men smaller than himself. Burns, like the great Ketchel, found size agains him above every other consideration. He went on at and on bravely, unflinching, himself. Hugh McIntosh stopped the bout to save Burns furtherishment. "I wasn't a great champion," said Burns the other day. "I never would have been a great champion because with the help of the big fellow I belonged with a big fellow at a big strong fellow was bound to get me. It happened to be Johnson. I thought that I could outgame him. I was even conceived about it and I thought that I could outplay him. I got into the ring. I don't think any heavyweight ever lived who could have outsmarted Jack Johnson. He fought to suit himself. Made his own pace, his own battle, his own result. He was utterly indifferent concerning your own fighting plans.

BRUCE FLOWERS WINS DESPITE HISSES Lightweight Boxer Owes Victory To Excellent Physical Condition CROWD IS HOSTILE Hisses And Boos Make Him Look Like Amateur NEW YORK CITY — Bruce Flower, lightweight, fighting at 133½; took the decision from Lou Paluso, Salt Lake City, 134, in the semi-final of eight rounds to the Sid Tennis-Phil McGraw held in the Garden. The fight was a close one and Lou put up a worthy battle, but Flowers plainly proved that he was the better man, largely due to his superior strength and excellent condition. The crowd roundly "booed" the judge's decision, despite the universal agreement of all the sports writers that it was a merited one. Flowers had the shade in the third fourth, fifth, and eighth rounds, staggering Paluso twice with rights to the jaw in the third round. The best that could be said for Lou was that the other rounds were even, and this is being charitable. All in all little Bruce laughed by far the most effective blows and at least twice as many as his opponent. Flowers, despite his outclassing of Paluso, at times, because of his punching and missing, looked like a ragged amateur. MOREHOUSE WINS TWO ATLANTA.

Whitted And Johnson. Former Howard U. Stars, Are Now Members Here WASHINGTON. — Gone is that "Four Horsemen". Reuben Spears Dennis Simpson. Whitted and Lester Johnson, the most formidable basketball combination to ever play on an Eastern court, are just vivid memories as the season ushers in. The above quartet, natives of Chicago, and later stars at Howard University, and among "frat" teams, first became known to local fans in 1927 when they came east as members of the Wendell Phillips High School which met Armstrong at the old Convention Hall. The westerners won, but by a close score. In 1922 the local technical outfit journeyed to Chicago and were beaten again. Then the next year Chicago City College Hornsby University. Their debut into local basketball circles soon won for them the name "Four Hornesmen" because of their stellar attack and the boys played on the varsity quint. Spars was hailed as the best center in collegiate basketball. Many times critics and sports journalists ably the better, the Chicago boy or "Lanky" Jones of Morgan. Simpson, a big towering guard, like Spears, also went in for high threepoint combination was Lester Johnson, who stayed two years on the Hilltop. Last year Johnson played with a professional team called the Chicago Bulls, the combination, lined up at forward and was also ranked among the best in this section. The break in the "Four Horsemen" ranks came in at 25 when at the close of that school year Johnson was unable to return on account of the lava fever. Spears lost his foot, the result of playing semi-pro basketball with the Baltimore Athenians. He was returning from Atlantic City with the team that had been injured in a passenger collision with a big truck. He received injury to his right foot, which necessitated amputation. Whitted has entered West Virginia. He is playing in and around Washington, and playing "Semi-pro" basketball with the Baltimore Elks Big Five. BOYS POPULAR The boy team popularly section through their fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi. Every winter the frats' staged elimination court games to decide the city championship, and in this manner the "Kappas" became the "Kappa." It was the "Four Horsemen" as all games were played in the afternoon, and always followed. Last winter the frat's games lost their prize, and will probably be no contest played. The name, "Four Horsemen", will long be a remembrance to local Horsemen who came along when the "Windy City" four were at their best. IF YOU CAN FIND ANYONE DUMB ENOUGH TO KEEP ONE WITH YOU!!

Tuskegee won its fourth straight championship and in doing so completed a series of games from October 1923 to Morehouse College and two were tied, one with Atlanta University in October 1923 and the other with Florida State Normal in December 1927. Lincoln University, Tuskegee's international rival of the last two years was again beaten at Philadelphia 30-0. At Atlanta, the conqueror was defeated in football by mud 7 to 0. The Tuskegee team probably was a shade weaker than the wonderful line-up of 1928 but plenty of caliber to go with the team's smartness. King Of Lightweights Best Bout In 1898 Joe Gans King Of Lightweights Fought Best Bout In 1898 Joe Gans, a son of Baltimore, and in his day the greatest little lightweight the ring has ever seen, fought his most beautiful battle in New York with Kid McPartland, white, in 1898. McPartland had been mowing down all of the lightweights and had become the idol of the New York boxing enthusiasts. He was a fighter of great skill with only a lefthand punch. In this battle it was a game of superiority between two skillful boxers, both of whom could hit hard. For three rounds Gans did not try to hit a blow. He simply studied his man. After that he scored straight along on points. In the thirteenth round he reached McPartland's forehead with a blow so hard that Mac was sent backward to keep from falling, actually running backward to keep from falling down. The crowd marveled. Gans had not been struck on full blow, if any. The house, the big Lennox Club, was so quiet that the situation was actually dramatic.

Satisfied that he had won beyond any possible quibble, Gans simply defended himself for the last two rounds and got the decision. There was not a drop of blood spilled and save for the hard lump on McPartland's forehead and a heavy bruise on his jaw there was little except some redness of the face and body.

ELKS 'DUCK' BASKETEERS TO START JAN. 2 Ten Games Arranged Including Wilmington And D. C. Schools. 21 GET LETTERS Football Team To Lose Seven Men Next Year. With ten games listed, the first one to be played January 6, the Douglass High School championship basketball combination expects to start practice Monday, January 2, after being held up several weeks by the Athletic Council on a dispute as to whether the team will able to play on foreign fields. Experiencing the same trouble the varsity football team met with, local fans may not be able to see the "Ducks" meet Howard Preshniman, Dunbar, Armstrong and Minor Normal, whom they have games booked with. The ruling that the team must engage in games on foreign courts after their regular school hour, "and be here in the city the same evening, when they have all sports at the Baker Street School. The tentative schedule is as follows: January 6, location: Washington; January 20, Howard High here; January 27, Armstrong here; February 3, Dunbar here; February 14, Washington; February 19, Howard High at Wilmington; February 2, Armstrong at Washington; March 1, Dunbar; March 1, Northern Washington; March 1, Northern Washington. The same trouble that cut the football schedule to three games confronts the prospective court. The same trouble that Education that teams must play after school hours, and in case they go out of the city, they must be assigned to a football hall has alone ruled the "Ducks." The "Ducks," who plan opening January 6, are in a position to play the game. A city has become the problem. It is almost impossible for the locals to leave after school, which is at 4 p.m. I go into play a 6 game before lunch. The pulley was inaugurated for the first time in 1982.

Scala was an old grudge. By a dying man who bore him an old grudge. Dick finally convinced that the girl is an ill-treatment child of her mother with him. He finds that she is extraordinarily beautiful, slangy, a habitue of Chicago's dance halls, cabaret, and theater, to admit herself to respectable Baltimore. CHAPTER III What would she be like, this new-found sister of his, wondered Dick Lee. A good looking kid, Scala had written. Perhaps, — but what more? Would she be gay lovable and dancing like Martha Lee, or would she be cold and scratutable like Jim? Would she be very and sensibly conscious of the cloud of her birth, missing always the arms of her mother? Great pity for this sister rose in Dick Lee's heart. Poor little mite, from conception to birth, hidden away from prying eyes and gossiping tongues; at birth smuggled away that none might know that she had come to life. No joyous reception for this little soul, no proud mother lifting a planked table to show its smiling, infant sways to an applauding world! Hustled away from from its mother's breast to ride the dangerous seas of life in its frail little ship with the gambler Scala as captain. Dick Lee knew well why Martha Lee had deprived herself of the daughter she had always wanted. It was for the sake of her sons, that they might be cast out with her by an irate fallout and husband. The unfortunate girl baby must take chances with her father — so Martha Lee had decided, while she kept her sons safe. Cold, it sounds, written like that, but Dick Lee knew the agony that that decision must have cost Martha Lee, knew with what awful trouble she must have had to do with Scala carry that precious Seventeen years had passed seventeen years of following Scala from town to town, from den to den. Seventeen years of shilly-shilly from the town of the town of dejeffour, on the other hand, a single throw of Luck's dice — before that baby girl had drifted back to the mother port — to Martha Lee's home and Martha Lee's blood. Dick Lee made one firm resolution. All the love was to be taken over the mother's hand, I lavished on her sons would pass on to her daughter, through him. He, Martha Lee's son, would pay for the sacrifice she made of mother love by a great and appreciative brotherly love. Seventeen years of the time, the gang-line has alleged kid, dressed in a middy blouse and with her hair twisted around in knots over her ears. She would have an enormous appetite for her, and a coolness of a little for her. She was the one who, like that, took that the strange girl in a great city, lost, and no doubt, she would blush furiously and protest, mightily if one mentioned 'beaux'. Dick doubted that she had finished High School in the city of New York. She would then go to Howard or Cheyen or Wilberforce or Oberlin. He did see her through. Pay for her education as he did for Cutie. As for that gentleman, he could stop jazzing around and work his own way through the life of his family. She was very dedicated to the welfare of the new sister from Chicago. Just to show he was no piker, he left Mrs. Carter, much to that good lady's distress, and rented an apartment on McCulloch Street. He forbade any except. The plan was to finish his On the appointed day in March, a jaunty spring day, he dressed himself in Sunday togs, took袜 leave from the hotel, as per agreement, and stationed himself in the waiting room of Union Station. There, apprehension overcame him. Suppose he himself felt all kinds of a补贴. Suppose the whole business was a mistake? Dick grounded to himself and felt all kinds of a补贴. Nothing to do now but see the thing through. So he went to the train station. A train rushed in, its roar diminishing to an exhausted puff-puff-puff. Stopped. A girl swung off. Dick leaned forward, eager peering. Yes. He knew it. He knew it. His daughter was ascending the steps to him. He knew it. though as yet he could not see her face. He knew it by the familiar set of the head on slim shoulders; of the Indian hairstyle; of the dress by it that spring, elastic mounting of the steps, the same swift way of Martha Lee. Dick felt a dreadness rush over him. Why he was in惊慌, here was restoration. His mother was coming back to him, his mother whom he had thought dead for many years. A wave of happiness warmed him. His knees were in pain, his knees and thanking God, and there! He knew that he loved her fiercely, loved her with all the love he had given his mother. She was coming through the gates now, spring to greet her; then muzzled. Two separate ideas struck Dick Lee like two separate blows on the head. First—this was not a girl, she was a woman; second, she was beautiful. Dick whistled to himself, by heck, she was a soothing sight! Luana Lee held up a finger for a red-cap. Six miraculously materialized to fight for the providing. She was the first and carelessly surveyed the waiting, letting her eyes slowly drift until they found and dropped her fingers in his outstretched hand. "So you're my brother," she said. Then she laughed, a low chuckle. "Say, that was a darn good joke on your old man, now wasn't it?" Dick was shocked speechless. Before he recovered, she rose to her toes to kiss his cheek and murmured, "It's good to have someone. I'm awfully glad you sent for me." Psalme, such as he had never smelled on any girl, rose to his nostrils in a warm, sweet gush. Not a flower scent like most women affected, this was spicy, piquant, mysterious. So, indeed, was the face into which he looked ours. Was Luana Lee pretty? Could you call a peacock pretty? She was gorgeous, breath-taking, eye-arresting, wonder-provoking. In Chicago, they said that the only males who didn't turn for a second look were those hadn't seen her. She had the kind of skin that looks like a high brown advertisement, yes, but with a generous twange of lemon in it, smooth as milk and clear, but with fantastic shadings, that darkened to shadows around the eyes and red-dened over the cheek bones. And her eyes! Big, but soft as lakes in the moonlight, dark, they were, but lightened by the fires of numerous little golden flecks that danced in their limps of depths. They were beguiling eyes, those of Luana Lee's and of them, from the anything and everything, but something to their laughing in-solenous, should have made men stop and think. When they did it was too late, Cleopatra must have had such eyes or she would have never been able to do what she did to Mark Anthony. Lips of curving beauty made a vivid little blotch in her gold-brown face. Provocative lips of a surprising redness, kissed by Nature, as the poets say, only in this case Melba's lipstick stole Mother Nature's duty. But red they were, surpassingly red with an effective brightness that caught the stray glance and held it riveted to that rosy, warm spot. They were lips that poults and full in the center then thinned off abruptly toward the tiled corners. They were lips that just begged you to miss them and then, with a haughted wish to be dazzled, they And her figure! It was the kind that makes men tingle just to look at it and that makes women envious, because they should have one just like, but it is not just for them to be just like, but it is not just for them to be as a boy in his 'teens, but still there was no mistaking the fact that Luana belonged to the feminine gender. Her breasts were small and showed in two delicate mounds under the silk shadings. She was here, and there were slim and swayed with a ripping undulation when she walked, the ankles were graceful, trim and a soothing delight to the masculine eye. All lines between flowed as prettily as though sketched in by an artist who really knew what a seven-teen year old Juno ought to look like. Add to these details that mysterious beauty which is found in the faces of the beauties of the Saad, the small and the person that found among the half-stripped person girls of the pacific Islands and you have Luana Lee. Top it off with up-to-the-minute clothes which must have been acquired just after Scala made a killing at the races, and you can see how she looked when Dick first saw her. Dick followed the swaying, weaving figure the way toward the scout of the wake of the red-cap. He had intended taking the trolley, but Luana had ordered the taxi. No matter, he reflected. Other things occupied his attention now. n's Price UISE CAMPER * For instance, how was this girl going to adjust herself to Baltimore, this girl of rare beauty, and slangy ways and experience that grew out of Chicago's vice dens? Dick Lee felt a little disturbed. For the first time it occurred to him that he had shouldered a best responsibility sending for this little sister from Chicago. What could he do for her? More, what would she do to him? He wondered. A silence settled on the taxi as it swerped up Charles street, then around into North ave. She walked back to the small town. He high-flipped, should say something, but to save his soul, he could think of nothing to say. The girl seemed not to mind. She pulled up the curtain and looked out at the cluttered, sprawling street with the "small town" still clinging to its fringes. With a shrug of slim shoulders turned back to Dick. He saw this town looks burn. Is it as dead as it looks? she inquired. Dick had a hand on hers. "You must give us a chance, little girl," he told her. "Don't get homes before you have seen what the old town looks like." Luna leaned forward, her eyes great with interest. What is it like, here? she asked. "Do you have big time. Are there any cabars or dance palaces?" "Cabarres?" echoed Dick. "Dance balls?" Incredibility was in the very tones of his voice. Unconsciously his mind went back to what he knew. The innocent seventeen year old school girl she was a painted woman, beautiful, yet with a demonde style. Instead of puzzling over schools, she inquired of cabarres. A worried brown crested cat was sitting in the doorway. The taxi drew up before the McCullon street house and spared Dick the embarrassment of answering the question about the cabarres. There were cabarres in Baltimore, and he knew where "Here's home, Luana," he told her as they entered the wide, cheerful hall. "I hope you'll come, Luana looked up to him and laughed. She gave his arm an affectionate squeeze, that someone kept with her years than anything Dick knew and yet nothing "You're a funny old thing," she giggled. "What difference does it make whether I like it or not. I hope I won't have to stay home that much." As they reached the stairs, a couple descended, so they stood aside. It was Frank Carson and his parents, was called Tyla. Frank was a tall individual, with an air about him that he devoutly hoped was like that of Ludophil alchemist, but he never had once been accused of powdering his小丽 face and making up his eyes. There he stood, and he and the rest of his body was in the same condition as his grimy finnicals, he surely needed it. He added to all his crimes against Luana. He was a type of suit commonly known as "monkey back." It was the height of fashion at the time, but it was the height of folly for Frank to wear it. But Luana was so voluminous, tells as little as he strutped. Comical though Frank undoubtedly was to Tyola he was a leasing brown skinned gentleman. She had had a strenuous time lassing him, and he had worked herself up into that stage of jealous cestasy when every pretty woman was a personal enemy to her. She gazed at the pretty girl who stood beside Dick Lee belligerently, and she knew that he bestowed upon Launa was from hostile. He stared as he came down the steps, he turned, boy-eyed, to stare as he went down the entrance hall. Tyola broke in upon his trance. He stared at like a googly-eyed simu? she demanded. Her diction betrayed her jealous excitement, for Tyola having arrived on McCullough street from nether reions west of Pennsylvania. was she there? Or be on this occasion, she preverted to au naturel. Frank mooned his brow, and whispered, "Say who's that chicken! He looks foolish, very foolish, 'My eye! She sure is a good-looking baby. Prettiest woman I ever saw. Too late, he. I was so happy in Trolls eyes." "Excepting you, of course, honey," he added lamently, "from that time on Frank Carson kept a watchful eye pessified for Liana Lee and from that minute on Tyola Carson hated Luana like a cat hates a bath.

HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE By RALPH MATTHEWS Three cheers and other expressions of unadulterated glee—the column has scored another scoop. None other than that Mr. Woofflesie's exhaustive report proves that nothing worth while was accomplished during the last 385 days which, he claims, shows the wonderful influence congress is exerting on the country as a whole. Baltimore has done itself proud in Mr. Woofflesie's survey. We are exceedingly happy to announce that although we trail other cities in the race, we often them in the lurch in the industry of things of no consequence whatever. Quoting directly we find these gratifying words: "With a population far below that of either New York or Chicago, Baltimore did more loafing to the square inch than both of these put together, by their mayor and city council and proves what can be accomplished when a body politic sets its heart and mind on one great purpose." There were 525,600 minutes in the past year, points out Mr. Woofflesie. 748,800 came on Sunday which were spent nothing but trying to the intelligence or morality of the nation, he claims. An equal number of minutes came on Thursday, one half of which equals 374,040 or repre- sents half of the total number of girls. Of course, nothing was done except go- ing to matinees and powdering noses. Posterity will receive no direct benefits from these lines of endeavor. 6240 minutes were wasted on Friday nights in vestibules by college boys bidding their sweet- est wishes to fifty-five points not shone vividly the necessity of a law abolishing vestibules, college boys or compelling parents to erect an automaticjector. They should be a kisometer attached to the door knob and a severe penalty for tampering with the meter. "7,589 minutes were utilized by heueped husbands explaining why they came home late only to get a thrashing at the end. This time could have been used more properly had it been handled by a nurse and used to bandage the wound," he declares. Mr. Woofsmifle, ever on the alert to help opened humanity, has committed a little booklet of iron clad excuses which can be torn out and handed to the storm and strife without delay. As a special offer he gives a handy hip-hop laceration and sores 4.220 minutes were wasted by brand new parents truing to figure out what their brains mean by their various coings. Mr. Woolfesniff, because Keinerwurst and Frye Co. publishers, have just released a new "Goo Coo" Book which is just the thing for brand new parents. It translates baby talk into 10 different languages and makes no sense in any. 7.824 minutes were wasted by old男 playing checkers in young boys' rooms. We all gave a great deal of valuable time but wore out fingernails, trousers and seats. We will either have to tear down Y. W. C. A's altogether or device some plan by which young men can get in occasionally. 9.228 minutes were wasted seeing people off at stations. Folks should arrange to say farewell at home and many things could have been accomplished while people were going to the depot and coming back. Also Mr. Woolfesniff points out, the energy wasted waving goodbye to good use would have been sufficient to pump water enough to irrigate the Sahara Desert. 1440 minutes were wasted volving. Thousands of people took up good time putting the name of a candidate on paper after the bosses had spent hours wondering when they wanted for president when the trustees had thought it out already. A lot of wear and tear could be saved the papers would just publish who the most president would be several days before the election. 27449 minutes were profitably spent. Mr. Woolfeslin arrived at this calculation by allowing five minutes on Thursday of each week for a reader to devour and digest this column. Municipal reports show that there were more cases of indigestion reported this year than ever before.

Rescue Of Marooned Men In '99 Retold By Capt. Ed. Wilson Race Man Piloted Fireboat Down Bay Over Protest Of Southern Rebel Captain The cold snap of December weather which usually brings rheumatism to old men, brought a sparkle to the eyes of 63-year-old Captain Edward N. Wilson Thursday when he retold the story of an ice jam rescue which went down in Maryland history as one of its supreme events. It was 'way back in 1899, according to Captain Wilson, whose hair has changed from black to silver in the intervening years, that he, a worker in the Custom House here, was called to duty eary by his chief. Upon reaching there he was informed that having had some years on the ships down in Somerset County, he was wanted to pilot a fireboat there to rescue a marooned party of oyster Race came again and he was denied a chart and a lead line for determining the depth of the water. After waiting thru the Saturday night the things were brought out. The tide pushed them off the bar and the boat was forced to enter Top Ships Bay. Saver Another Party Another party of white men who had been marooned a time on another island hailed the boat and came aboard. They hailed Captain Wilson as a saviour. Getting his boat underwater he managed to get within a mile of the other party only to meet them coming across the ice. The 15 along with 16 of the other oystermen gave him a big ovation.

Between the lighting of the Yuletide candles of 1926 and 1927 we have been deeply appreciative of the loyalty and support of our many friends, and right heartily we wish for them an Olde Tyne Merrie Christmas and a Very Happy New Year. Amen. McJerush Malone PORO COLLEGE SAINT LOUIS Bitterly cold, the bay filled with ice, the men had been held prisoners six days on an uninhabited island over Somerset in an Israeli Soldier's foxhole, not of equal except what they could tear from the ice, the party was in a desperate condition, Newspapermen were on the mainland awaiting the marching on Old Rebel Soldier. Race, that quality in men which causes no end of unpleasant scenes, came into view, and was subjected by men of his county and of Baltimore, he was acceptable to them but not to the white captain of the fireboat, he was revealed to the captain, he was a rebel. Insisting that he would help only if the captain agreed to give him full charge of the boat, Pilot Wilson was the first battle. Piloting the craft thru the jammed bay, forcing it against huge blocks, and larger than a few miles of island only to ground on a bar. Dog Provides Business Slacks Down For Up For Pa Pathos. that human quality which may be carried over into animals, linked a dog with an idea and made a triumph in soliciting down on Lexington street last week among the Christmas shoppers.

This unnamed curry not only made a good job of getting John Robinson into the thickest crowds and heavier pocketbooks, but also made business poor for Neile, an intelligent collie which has made times prosperous for a local master.

When the boat was grounded again the prejudiced skipper was glad to turn over the wheel to the race man. Running behind the wheel was helped by the newspapers, the Sun, and the AFRO-AMERICAN. Receptions and testimonials almost impaired his health. For once in Baltimore his crew three men was accepted by all prizes. Active In Politics For years active in politics, active in establishing a post office at Upper Fairmont, Md. a town which his father helped found, he has been the Republican banner for 65 years. Living quietly at his home on Myrtle avenue, Captain Wilson is no longer actively engaged in campaigns, he is a thinker, happy with the thought that he served his people while young. Now he is old, a man who can tell interesting true stories.

He was the only one who cared for her master's pail around for the collection after each exhibition, but business was not so brisk these holidays. While the nameless cur ran along ahead of his master, waiting at intervals for him to come up. A bell about his neck tinkled, and the dog was ready to follow him to follow. Now and then coins jingled musically in the pail as pedestrians noted the "advertisement" that was printed the cover about the dog. Mr. Robinson, who makes periodical visits here, has been blind for years, and his weakening of his eyes. "Does your dog do tricks?" he was asked. "Oh, yes." he replied, "folks have taught him a lot, but that one of the money pail is the best one he knows." ryland Dairy lity Products In Darker Baltimore BY RALPH I've found the meant mother, or where she lives or anything about very, mean, but also very foolish.

Personal bequests made by Mrs Calloway were: to Blanche. Bernice Cabell and Elmer. $10 each; to Mrs Eulalia Calloway. $10 each; to Mrs Sue Golding. $50 and a diamond ring; to Miss Hilda Anderson gold chain and jacket; to Edith Fletcher. $25 and a diamond ring.

Oldest "Orphan Child" Is 27 Union Home For Is Regula Fifteen Kiddies Are Clothed, I tion Started 15 Years Ago. Up on McCullough street at number 1809, 12 kiddies, some without parents, others who have lost a parent, of whose folk are not on good terms, find a home. There isn't much elegant about it, just one of those regular big houses of the dark invasion. Somehow generosity and goodwill have not been sufficient to make Union Industrial Home for Orphans and Destitute Children a grand place, but it has a honey air. Started 15 years ago by the Rev. George W. West, Delaware Williams, the Elle William Smith House, the barn of the Maryland State Baptist Convention when the late Dr. Harvey Johnson was one of its leading lights, the place has cared for over 250 children. Seeing its first few years ago as a school out in Baltimore County and later on Arlington avenue, the home has left its rented quarters, the home has left its present quarters. J. Howard Payne, local attorney, is agent for the institution. Quiet and unassuming, the Rev Mr. West and his wife have never forced the home upon the organized charities. The Baptist church collects a few dollars now and then and the amateur makes something. This mixed with prayer and what the institution can earn has somehow made up the $180 needed weekly for maintenance, the Rev Winston says. Inquiring here and there whether some husband's wife had left him with children or whereabouts of another widow, the work of juvenile charity has gone on. Now a family was found destitute, parents sick, food low. Baskets of food, usually obtained by sacrifices, went to them somehow. A mother had to work and needed to leave by someone's care, and Union came in handy again.

He came to the home when nine years old. Grown up and sent out for himself, he became married and had two children. Now at age eleven, he came to the school who gave him home care in an institution. Mrs. Harmon is assistant matron and her kiddies romp about the none too well furnished but comfortable house. "We do not have a fine place here," the Resident from the interview, said, "we are filling a distinct need. There is no home of this type operated by any other members of the race in the state. Cheltenham and the House of Good Shepherd do not fill the needs of small children who need the best care. "We teach the girls to do homework, sew, cook and some music. The boys do caning and upholstering. We have use for anything the public can give us from newspapers up." The 'six rooms for the youngsters are clean. Most of them with hats and dressers, the furnishings being severely plain in most instances. The house is heated by a hot air furnace. A drive for $37,000 to buy and equip a farm in Harford County will be held in January. An option has already been secured on the 45 acre place.
