RECOMMENDS MACHINE GUNS FOR DIXIE PRISONS Lily White Hospital In Washington D.C. Bars Dying Woman ASKS KIP FOR $1000 ALIMONY WOULD PLACE MACHINE GUNS ON DIXIE JAILS Congressman Fish, Rep. N. Y. Emancipation Day Speaker In Washington LINCOLN ACTED FROM MILITARY NECESSITY 65 Years Ago Even North Was Luke Warm On WASHINGTON, D. C.—Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation came as the result of common justice and military necessity, Congressman Hamminton Fish, Rep. N. Y. told an audience at John Wesley Church, Tuesday night. Mr. Fish, who spoke under the auspices of the National Inter-demonial Nationalists' Alliance, declare that the destiny of the Negro is only secure but exerted bright. Machine Guns Machine Guns Speaking of the anti-lynching bill Mr. Fish said, "If I had my own law, I would have had the rights where lynchings have occurred and place the responsibility on the sheriff and his subordinate to use them against any lawless man. Black ar white, trying to interfere with the course of justice." Mr. Fish said in part: Capital A Battleground The City of Washington had been the battle ground on the slavery question more than the Civil War, and the Halls of Congress had resounded with bitter and acrimonious debate between the adherents of slavery and the champions of freedom ever since John Quincy Adams first attempted to present the petitions against slavery back in 1835. Senator Charles Summer of Massachusetts was brutally assaigned and beaten unconscious in the Senate of the United States portraying a slaveholder in Kansas a Representative from South Carolina, and verbal combat, were the order of the day in the cities. The First Emancipation Bill The first emancipation bill is also noted as the birth certificate of the first emancipation bill signed by President Lincoln on April 16, 1862. The bill was introduced by Senator Henry Wilson of Massachusetts and abolished slavery in the District of Columbia. The letters from three thousand slaves and tendering compensation to their masters. But the senators and representatives from the border states remaining in the Union poured money into the fight against this long delayed act of justice and predicted that the passage of the bill would result in the exile or extermination of the freed slaves. Time alone has proven how hard and extravagant were the efforts by the upholders of that ancient and entrenched institution of slavery. Alare Champions It is difficult for us living in these days to appreciate the power, aggression, and tenacity of the champions of slavery in their efforts to maintain it against the onward march of justice, humanity and the invasions of the West. The Today's News reported that one raise his voice against the Emancipation Proclamation, but 65 years ago even the North was jukewarm. Abraham Lincoln was imbued from his childhood with a love of free institutions, and human rights, and naturally abhorred human slavery, said of himself, "I am naturalist, and nothing is wrong." On September 22, 1862 President Lincoln read the proposed Proclamation of Emancipation to his cabinet stating that he had made a promise to his Maker to issue the proclamation if the rebel army was driven out of Maryland, Military Necessity. The Proclamation received unqualified approval of the cabinet and was released for publication in the newspapers September 23, 1862. It provided that on the first day of January, 1863, all persons held as slaves within any state or designated a state, the people whereof shall be in rebellion against the United States be the then enforce forward and forever free. Inasmuch as the warning Proclamation was not heeded President Lincoln issued the formal Proclamation of Emancipation on January 1, 1863, concluding these words "And upon this Act, uncerely believed to be an act of justice, unceriously believed upon Military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgement of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God."

O. P. at Kansas City. The race is not always to the closest one to the horse that leaves the harrier in front. You saw where Chairman Butler and one of his aides would be in Kansas City January 6. They will talk over the matters with the local committee, particularly as to local officials, and intend to do with ALL delegates and ALL visitors during the convention. Trust Chairman Butler, who would make a fine president himself. He was educated at Harvard in books, in life by experience, in politics by N. Murray Crane. It makes no difference what book you read, party on its side of the Potomac, the G. O. P. might wisely hold on to Mr. Butler. Pray that Mr. Coolidge will listen to Mr. Butler. Mr. Butler like John a Murray, is OF New England. Like Daniel Webster. Mr. Coolidge is FROM New England. Kansas City will be told by Chairman Butler that colored delegates don't need any particular education and colored writers should not want any colored citizens, who should not hand in carrying the convention to their city should hands off if asked to "set aside" colored delegates. Money talks, but oftens it gives bad advice. A few days ago Senator Nye said, in a New York interview, that "Charles Dawes is the boy who is sitting pretty." Two or three evenings after Dawes sat next to William Hale Thompson, Chicago banquet. REALLY sitting pretty now. he might have said to himself, drawing closer to Thompson, greatest living Republican.

Anti-Saloon Fete The Anti Saloon League, chosen agent of the Lord, announces a celebration for Monday, January 16. It will be the 8th anniversary of the Volstead Act, that nice piece of legislation that started our Irish people out in the country, also took the saloon the corner and put it in your dining room. The Volstead Act is called a "new Declaration of Independence", Looking down from heaven, where he sits around with Paul, another famous writer, Thomas Jeerson doesn't feel complimented to hear that his greatest composition is saddled with a theological creed that had to ratified by your legislature, after the Jefferson Declaration and the evolution, the cry was heard, "Give us more schools". After the Volstead Act Uncle Sam himself uttered the cry, "Give me more jails." According to the Anti-Saloon League, 25,000 churches will take part in celebrating the beginning of the Age, Sunday, January 15 prophers are asked to prepare serions urging observance of the prohibition laws. Elder, you are not supposed to preach from laws gotten up by man who is still experimenting on himself: If you are "called" an not "pinted" by you on our authority you will stay on the main line and only "Jesus and Him crucified." Brothers and sisters, if your preacher takes the pulpit and starts out on human legislation, get your hat. Further along, when you shall have found yourselves, in the church, you will be brethren of Jesus. He will have a show in this world. Strike up conversation with our white people about the Volsted Act and then ask if they ever heard of the amendments dealing with the RIGHTS of men that God made MAN; that Jesus dealt only in KEN in meat and drink, and said so. A good way to stop your preachers from me-tooing white "divines" is to let the collection plate pass by and stay away from the table when the choir performs. More ways than to kill a chicken.

CASHIER UNDER ARREST Reorganization, So That Depositors May Not Lose, Is Being Considered MEMPHIS, TENN., (By Telegram)—The Fraternal and Solvent Bank and Trust Company closed after a two day run, Saturday. Friday, when a large number of school children withdrew Christmas club accounts it started a rumor among the students out the city and the directors asked state bank examiners to take charge. At first the withdrawal of $60,000 Christmas savings funds and frozen assets were blamed for the crash but the president, Ward, president, J. E. Walker, vice-president and Leroy Williams, assistant cashier, pointed to irregularities, misuse and juggling of accounts. Police claim to have signed confessions from Ward and Williams that more than $50,000 had been thus Efforts Fail Efforts to save the institution, lead by Robert R. Church and others, failed. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company sent $40,000 a week ago as a deposit. Titles to the bank buildings the bank transferred to Church in trust for the National Benefit Company for loans totaling $101,000 made by the company of which the last $40,000 was a part. R. H. Rutherford, its president, declared that every person would not effect the financial condition of the company. Dr. J. E. Walker, vice-president, was also president of the Universal Life Insurance Company. This company was the first to admit and when it was apparent that the Universal might also be caught in the crash, he tendered his check for $20,000 in securities and $6,000 in cash to secure his company's interests. His lead to his arrest as he was not actively in charge of affairs at the bank. Indemnity Bond That it was probable that depositors would not lose was revealed by the fact that an indemnity bond for $100,000 signed by various members of the directorate was held by bank executives that they would have to make up the deficit. More than $100,000 worth of paper made seven years ago by Bert M Roddy, then cashier, is said to be held in the bank out of the city Saturday when an AFRO-AMERICAN correspondent tried to reach him.

ALICE TO ASK $1,000 A MONTH IN ALIMONY Mrs. Kip Rhinelander Finds $300 She Now Receives Is Not Enough AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSES XMAS GIFT Alice Admits They Are Like Flowers He Sent Her Last Christmas WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. The last week in the old year marked the beginning of the final chapter in that sordid, spectacular, short-lived romance-marriage between Leonard Kip Rhinelander, white, tongue tied blue blood and heir to Huguenot millions, and Alice Jones Rhinelander, daughter of a poor New Rochelle backman. Copies of a summons and complaint in an action initiated by Mrs. Rhinelander for separation on the grounds of cruelty and abandonment of a child in Westchester County and upon the sheriffs of Queens' and New York counties. The action is brought in the Supreme Court at White Plains. Where Is Klip? Neither the wife nor her counsel, Judge Samuel Swinburne, have now nor have had for some time any knowledge of Kips's whereabouts, the husband cannot be found, formal application will be made to Supreme Court Justice Morschauser to serve the missing husband by publication. Mrs. Rhinelander is at her home, 765 Pelham road, the town filed the action state in part that "The plaintiff has always conducted herself as a faithful, obedient wife," and "the defendant disregarding his duties and obligations, has abandoned her, wily and unlawfully without cause or infliction. Cruel—Irhuman "The defendant's treatment of her has been uniformly cruel and inhuman. On or about November 26, 1924, the defendant publicly and openly charged and accused the plaintiff of having practiced fraud and deceit on him and of having deliberately lied to him, although he knew the charges to be false and untrue. "I stought that Mrs. Rhlender's reason for bringing action for separation now is to secure a court decision fixing her status and allowing her increased alimony as a wife living apart from her husband but dependent upon him for support. May Win $1,000 A Month Motion for alimony and counsel fees will be made when Kip appears in court to answer the summons. In case he fails to put in appearance after due service, the court will defer it. Through his attorneys the court has paid $300 monthly alimony during the period since the court action of 1925. It is now reported that $1,000 per month he sought as the alimony payment. Real Case Leon R. Jacobs, attorney for the young millionaire husband, has freely admitted that the wife has a real case for suit to secure separation, and is entitled to a decree since she really has been deserted. On the other hand, however, Mr. Jacobs stoutly maintains, that Leonard Klip Rhinelander has been guilty of no dishonorably emblemely acts, and that any effort to injure the young man's character will be proven felon. No Case Against Alice The defendant and his attorneys are also reported to have admitted that the action was inevitable, since the Rhinelander side has not been able to secure any evidence upon which to predicate a suit against the colored spouse of the blue blooded aristocrat. I took up the abandonment charges in the complaint, Judge Swinburne, attorney for Mrs. Rhinelander, claims to have in his possession scores of letters from various parts of the country where Leonard Rhinelander has stayed a time on his tour. The letters are from various interested in the case and which that he is since Mrs. Rhinelander's husband has made his residence in New York where his wife lives. (Continued on Page Five.)

"At the beginning of this new year, let us all put ourselves squarely on the side of Jesus Christ; let us enter his school and be ever learning of him." That was the message for the New Year delivered by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, at the morning services last Sunday. His message was based on the text: "Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls, for my yoke is burdened in your burden is light." (Mathew 11-28-30). "All humanity, in one way or another," the Rev. Dr. Grimke said, "is burdened, is heavy laden. Nobody is perfectly happy, nobody is satisfied, nobody is wholly at ease. There is something wrong somewhere." Great Burden Is Sin "The great burden, under which humanity is laboring, and out of which all the other burdens come, is the burden of sin; the doing of what we know to be wrong with all the consequences that follow. We know that we never us that creates the condition out of which all of our wretchessness and misery come. If it were not for sin in your life and mine, in the life of men everywhere, things would be very different from what they are. There would be no burdens, no mahes, no fruitless, unsatisfying labor. In The Submarine "Not many days ago a submarine was struck by a coast guard steamer, and went to the bottom with forty men on board. All efforts to rescue them proved futile. Suppose you had been one of them, and had accepted the gracious invitation of the captain, to take his roke upon you and had been learning of Him? Even under such distressing circumstances, hopelessly lying at the bottom of the sea expecting every moment to be your last, the promise made here by Jesus would have been realized by you, would have been peace, rest, quiet of would have been sure, have been sure that the end here would have in it no evil for you in the life beyond. "Let us be wise. Let us accept the gracious invitation. Let us take his yoke upon us, and learn of Him. And let us do it at once. Let us not delay another day. The best time to begin to do a good thing is at once. If we are wise, we will make the decision today, and not for too long, but the beginning of this new year, let us ourselves squarely on the side of Jesus Christ. Let us enter His school and be ever learning of Him. So shall we find peace, lasting peace, the great peace of God." To prove that these troubles can be stopped often in a few hours, the W. B.

STALKER BILL HIT BY KELLY MILLER WASHINGTON.—The bill for elimination aliens from representation in the national primary which is being introduced into Congress by Representative Stalker, of New York, was declared dangerous tampering with the Constitution by Kelly Miller, in connection with the Washington Post Tuesday. Dr. Miller says in part: "According to the Constitution the individual person, without regard to age, sex, race, nationality, citizenship or the right to vote, constitutes the primary unit of representation. Because the question was answered with direct taxation the slave was divested of 40 per cent of his representative capacity by reason of his mixed character as a person and as a chattel. "There is no purpose or motive in any state to restrict the franchise except as a sinister means of evading the fifteenth amendment. There is no purpose or motive in restriction, except as a weapon of retaliation. The power of a state is expressed by the sum total of the number of people in it. The universal denomination of a state is toward universal suffrage except in the mind of Mussolini and a few diehard provincial politicians in the lower Southern States."

Wilkinson Makes Annual Report Of Year's Work HANDICAPPED 'COACHED Washington, D. C., Jan.-Improved teaching was the outstanding feature of the work of officers in the schools of divisions 10 to 13 in the school-year 1926-27, according to the annual report of Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools. Three steps toward the reorganization of the normal schools have been taken, Mr. Wilkinson reports. They are a survey by the Bureau of Education, action upon the survey by the Board of Education, and the filing of a tentative report on the revision of the courses of study with the superintendent. Approval of the report and the execution of these new policies are the remaining steps to be taken and are logically the work for the school year, Mr. Wilkinson states. The taking advantage of opportunities offered for self-improvement of teachers is a key element in kinetics and teachers took extension courses from Columbia and Pennsylvania. Universities, evening courses at Howard University, correspondence courses, courses and forums and conferences. "The improvement of instruction through a program of activities tending to modernize our methods of teaching is essential for supervision of teachers," he reports, "was for the year the outstanding feature of the work of officers in the elementary schools of divisions 10 to The Handicapped A reorganization of the coaching system was made in September. ARC staff and other staff were assigned to the coaching of handicapped children. In the senior high schools for the fifth grade, ARC grouped for instruction purposes, he reports. The department of research analyzed the general intelligence of the children classes and advised with the principals in the matter of grouping. Tests In both the senior and junior high schools, he reports, progress was made toward modernizing procedure for the adoption and use of standardized tests by the heads of departments. Trade Schools Three senior college departments in the trade schools are noted. At the Phelps Trade School for boys all academic instruction below grade 7. Three junior college departments was extended from a two-year limit to a three-year limit. For the first time, Mr. Wilkinson instructed students sought to improve themselves in the past school year by attendance upon an extension course offered at the University of Pennsylvania. Voyational Guidance The third significant development was the administering of mental and achievement tests to all pupils in the Trade School for girls through the department of research.

The BABY Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little fretful spells and infantile aliments that used to worry mothers through the night? If you don't know the answer, you have a discarded case. Fletcher's Castoria is sweet to the taste, and sweet in the little stomach. And its gentle influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does it work. Fletcher's Castoria is purely vegetable, so you may give it freely, at first sign of colic; or constipation; or diarrhea. But you just don't know what is the matter. For real sickness, call the doctor. always. At other times a few drops of castor oil often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher's Other preparations must be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why expect them? Castor oil and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold!

BISHOP WALLS ADVOCATES EQUAL LAY REPRESENTATION Baptist Convention Can't Have Her School Says Nannie Burroughs WON'T TURN IT OVER TO EITHER BAPTIST FACTION, SHE DECLARES "I Won't Leave Convention And I Won't Be Kicked Around Like A Hound Dog," She Adds. Page Four BISHOP Baptist Conve Sch WON'T TURN IT O BAPTIST FACTI "I Won't Leave Con Be Kicked Arou Dog," She Adds. (Continued From Page 1) of financial pressure the Training school property will not be jeopardized. The Convention Charter has "fixed it." However, if a lawyer says the Corporation (Convention) may use and dispose of property turned over to it in accordance with the law, the law will allow the Directors to mortgage the change the school management at will. Convention Would Control Article V of the Charter under which the National Baptist Convention is now operated says this Corporation (when they say it 'this Corporation' is not a Board of Directors of the National Baptist Convention under the Charter) shall have the exclusive right and power to conduct such other time as shall be provided by By-Laws, to nominate and appoint Officers, Managers, and Directors for each and all of the said officers of the National Baptist Convention (that would include the Training School) and that said auxiliary boards and their officers of the Training School would exercise no power or control over the affairs and property of said boards. Why should the Board of Directors, who have not toiled night and day to build up the denominational work, be given more voice and power in matters and Churches of Boards who work like galley slaves the year round? Secretaries And Chairmen Why can't the Secretaries and Chairman of the Boards be legal members of the Board of Directors of the National Baptist Convention? the Board of Directors reduced the Secretaries of all the boards of the National Baptist Convention to mere hirelings? No Woman On Board Funerals? No woman on the Board of Directors, which, of course, means that the Woman's Convention has no voice, vote not legal status under the Charter of the national Baptist Convention and that the woman turned over to it. For some reason the Convention Charter is never published in the minutes. Why? The Charter gives the Convention (and in fact) exclusive management over the Woman's Convention Auxiliary and reduces it in the Charter to "The Woman's Auxiliary Board" and says the Board must nominate and appoint the officers. Isn't that some Charter in this Twentieth Century of Woman Suffrage? In case of foreclosure or pressure for the holders of the mortgage, all property owned by the Convention should be used as security, under separate or blanket mortgage. The promise not to make the Training School illiquidation does not make the Training School property half as secure as it is now under its own separate Characterization or the Training School absolutely secure. 18th Century Position For Women. In amplification of this 18th Century Position for Women, the 20th Century, a plank was put into the Convention platform at St. Louis, which became the Convention should sustain the same relationship to the National Baptist. Convention that a Missionary Society sustains to a It is true the Missionary Society is a church auxiliary but how and thereby upon the mind and measure of the man in the mulpt. Not many of our churches concern themselves with the Missionary Society. It is not a fixture in many of our churches and its true relationship is not definitely established. Its life depends upon a few faithful women and the expenditure of its funds upon the pastor's interpretation of the purpose of a Missionary Society. Clear Vision If a man of clear vision and unselfish interest is in charge of the financial affairs of the advancement of the Heavenly Kingdom: but, if a selfish man of limited vision is in charge, the Missionary Board must be in charge, the advancement of the "earthly King." The Charter says "The Auxiliary Board" must be "subject to" and "unsubject to" fortunate enough to attend the New York meeting got a perfect idea of what "subject to" means, because when on the ground the Woman's Convention, she came forward and after a whispered consultation, went "way back—and sat down." She never said a humiliation. Convention can't Finance The National Baptist Convention is not in position to finance the Church and Girls. It owes over a half million dollars on the Publishing Plant and it will take at least twenty-five million dollars on the Debt and its staggering interest. Furthermore, the Training School is a Welfare Corporation. Its organization commercial enterprises of the Convention. The Publishing House is loaded down with debt and staggered in clear-headed business men nor philanthropists will put money into any school if it becomes entangled with a million dollar, mortgaged commercial institution. American Baptist Seminary The financial inability of the National Baptist Convention is shown in the fact that it will not part of its work of the American Baptist Theological Seminary at Nashville, which Southern Baptists believe that the Convention give dollar for dollar for its upkeep and operation. The National Baptist Convention gives the Baptists their dollar money in the bank, waiting for us to raise ours. Just think of it! The money we give to the Baptists and we cannot manage to get it. Dr. Isaac Says Here is some more evidence of how we "imagine" schools. Dr. E. W. D. Kasper, in strong appeal for help from Seminole and the New York Board meeting, said: "We haven't been able to formulate the Hundred Dollars to cost Three Hundred Dollars to teach our students must walk a mile, three days a day, to get something to eat because of the things." Need Money for Churches? Think of it.

It has never "passed the hat" for an after-collection for the school of the Board of Directors of a Convention that has a school given to them and have not provided chairs and dishes for less than one hundred students, and al-ready had three miles a day to get something to demand another school to "manage" in the same way?

It is not. It is a statement of facts. Not. Kicked around. Permit me to digress here and make my personal intentions: There are two things I want to make clear: Despite the fact that we are a military organization, the program of unity and cooperation, Nannie Burroughs is not going to leave the National Baptist Convention, and she is not going to be kicked around like a dog. No disagreement over policy will drive her to do anything except to say in language of that noble Roman Christian. None of these things move the people. By the Grace of God "None of these things will keep me from moving." Nannie Burchs leads **Building UP** in Nannie Burchs' open the entire public life to building up, from the ground, the Woman's Convention and she has by her services, endeavored to make the entire denomination. She believes in the tremendous dynamic possibilities of the Three Million Baptists, when they are quickened by high spiritual ideales. She is going to help the labor for unity, and work on a constructive program until God calls her to higher service in another world. Get Out Your Hammers Nannie Burroughs might be put out of Office but she can and will work just as hard in the ranks as she is now working. The nanness at the trustees' office (which come into their glory through service. Nobody has stood more misrepresentations and knocks, than she has. Nobody can stand more more—so get out your hammers, ye unemployed! Knowing the financial condition of the trustees, knowing the uncertain and spasmodic way we support institutions, the Trustees of the Training School would be unhappy. We insist upon having a Charter that enables them, not only to work unempowered, but to teach from all Baptists and from all friends of Christian Education, regardless of race. The trustees are sworn to preserve and promote the trust, and to give the trust is for and not to be passed around, to be used as an experiment. Won't Turn Over To Either Side. When he is given a building to build up the School to its present status, gave under the split of secured 1901 before the split of secured 1904 Convention. The Trustees have no right to turn over the property entrusted to them, the applauding one, to either side. So their duty to stav as they were (a self-perpetuating board) before the split, and to find that they cannot operate the trust of 1907 it is their duty to carry out the legal provision clearly stated in drawn in 1907, which provision reads: Legal Provision "In case circumstances ever shall arise which in the judgment of the Board of Trustees should be deemed to discontinue the institution and to dispose of the property, the Board of Trustees shall have the power to sell the property, provided the sale has been approved by the Women's Auxiliary and the National Baptist Convention in joint session at annual meetings of the convention, monthly meetings of the convention, and published least at different State denominational papers for ten consecutive weeks preceding the annual meeting. The sale of the property is ordered by the two conventions in the same joint session in which the consent of sale is given. Any endowment funds in the hands of the Women's Auxiliary, the donors and the Executive Board of the Women's Auxiliary in trust, to be used only for the purpose of education as intended, the donors and the Board of Trustees are received by the Board of Trustees with the reserved right of contingent transfer aforesaid. The promise is strong enough to secure the Women's Convention and to satisfy any reasonable people. Three Attitudes It is interesting to note that in the past seventeen years the National Convention assumed three different and distinct attitudes toward the Training School. FIRST—The Convention opposed the Convention after it was established, the Convention ignored it—looked on with a kind of amused contempt. Finally, they assumed an attitude of watchful waiting for it to fall as prophesied. These two attitudes covered a period of ten years. perished on years. THIRTY-FOUR demanded, that property be pooled under a Con- tainer. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.-South's Biggest and Best Weekly Too Poor Until 1917 It is strange that up to 1917, not a word of criticism or protest was uttered against the Charter. The Charter had been published and scattered broadcast, for ten successive years. Was it that the school was too poor, insignificant, and unpromising for the Convention leaders to even read the Charter? One thing we do not know—that while the By-laws provide that the Officers of the National Baptist Convention and of the Woman's Auxiliary be ex-officio members of the Board of Trustees, the Nursing School, not three of those officers have ever attended a meeting of the Board of Trustees, at any one of the seventeen years, except when they can over here from Baltimore in 1925. The Officers of both Conventions, as ex-officio members, have a voice (no vote) in the Convention. The officers did not attend the dedicatory exercises in 1907. The Convention met in Washington that year and the National Baptist Convention came to the red clay hill. They were invited. Owns $200,000 Now A secretary of one of the Boards, who is a Trustee, came out. But, the amount was less than Seven Thousand Dollars ($7,000) worth of property. It owns over two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) worth now and its value is more than every day. It needs controlling now. It did not need any attention then. School Out Of Fights The growth of the School was not effected by the Chicago Convention of 1886, but by throwing the School on either side of the fight. The Trustees kept the School where it belonged, out of the city, and in the country, because its charter saved it. The School has lived through these years of strife because it has a law that allows the Trustees. Anybody who knows anything about the Chicago school knows full well that we been under the Charter which allowed it to dictateachings, all kinds of changes would have taken place and the Training School would have been able to teach. The Trustees have stood by the School in a devoted and courageous manner that is seldom exhibited by Negroes in a crisis and over a period of years. Both Conventions May Work In the face of the demands to the Training School property under no conditions, you ask what are the Trustees Training School going to do? Our answer is that they are going to operate under the present Charter; the Trustees are going to convenions work with them as ex-servicemen, if they will. Furthermore, the Trustees are going to give a full account of their stewardship to the State; and to all doers; let the State be the By-laws provide) nominate Trustees; allow the Auditor of the National Baptist Convention to audit the school; always done and the school pay for it. If they are going to work night and day to bring to the Training School, funds for its upbuilding and unselfish, safe and for its preservation and perpetuity. School To Own Uself In other words, they are going to let the Training School own itself as a body corporate, and give the Conference for education, as it did last year which $60,010.16 the Convention did not raise though it got (in its own way) done, and they got it without putting anything worthwhile into it. Woman's Convention Can't Support the Training School cannot support the Convention it gave only $655.00 this year and less than that the year before. It gave more than a thousand and dollars and reached the five hundred dollar mark at any session since the split, until 1927. National Training School is a National Educational Ideal—an ideal around which the entire race should rally. It is the only education school for its women and girls. All the other Schools for our girls are operated by white people for the Ideal Girl's School 1 All Negroes should get behind this one School and make it the pride of our community, and ideal, too great of value, to be instituted for the glory of petty church politics. Great National Institution for our women is going to be built in Washington. If we Negro Baptists are too shortsighted and divided to be able to form an group will build and endow here, at the Nation's Capital, a great Christian University for our women, and sacred to the Negro race as Holyoke or Vassar or Wellesley is to the Anglo-Saxon race. I serve for my own beloved Convention, through a self-perceptual Board of Trustees, nominated by State Conventions and elected by the Trustees, as is required by law. It is with that hope and in that faith that I have sacrificed all my life to the woman who succeeds me may begin the great superstructure. May God give us grace enough to support long enough to lay that foundation.

Science Must Change But Gospel Sufficient For All Generations—Rev. Johnson GOD AS SILVERSMITH Admitting the wonders of science and paying tribute to its progress, the Rev. S. J. Johnson, senior vice president of the Department of the A.M. E. Church, declared at Payne Memorial Church that it was insufficient when compared with the Goes. Science must continue to grow he pointed out, because it had such a small beginning. "People ask us, 'What does Christ does not change to meet the demands of the 20th century.' But my answer to them is that the Gospel was sufficient from the beginning," he said. "We have the same message for all generations and will stand forever." Balks At Death According to the Rev. Johnson we have seen the wonders of medical care, and we have seen certain diseases and ailments, but as yet science is of no avail when death approaches. Science should be used to discover things that have been accomplished in its name. The minister cautioned his listeners, however, that they too must exercise disappointment and not be discouraged. Keep Your Ideal "If you strive and expect to get what you want, you insisted, "you will always be disappointed. It is the group of 'small people upon whom we must depend on you, and who are ideal and keep it high, always strive in to reach it, but never quite attaining it. This keeps us always going forward. We are an ideal but never reach THE ideal."

Simon held the heater into the syngeneus, and he entered And they were asstoned at his deocrity, and he was sent to the authority, and not as the serbess. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, "What is this?" and he withdrew with three, thou Jesus of Nazareth" Art with the serbess, and the other who wooed thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the uncle's spirit had torn him and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. And they were all amazed, incomprehensible that they questioned among themselves saying: What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Gailice. And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever: and upon they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and Immediately the fever left her and she inminstered unto them. And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city gathered together at the door.

MARCUS GARVEY TO MAKE HOME IN LONDON, ENG. National Headquarters To Remain, However, In New York City TOUR OF CONTINENTAL EUROPE IS PLANNED Garvey Expects To Appear Before League Of Nations, He Says KINGSTON, JAMAICA, B. W. I.—Following a six weeks' tour of the Jamaican Islands, Marcus Garvey will tour the West Indies, Central and South America, after which he will make his future home in London. This announcement has been made from Garvey headquarters on audits of the provisional president himself, is the president speaking campaign in the islands. It was also definitely announced that the headquarters of the Universal Association will remain in New York. In London, Garvey hopes to establish a base for the future development of the association and continental Europe. He will also visit periodically the various centers of his activities and, it is said, might return to the United States, with a change in the political atmosphere. Plans Greater U. N. L. A. That Garvey plans to organize and construct even a bigger Universal Negro Improvement Association was indicated in what is regarded his keynote address made at Ward's lecture. Quoting the great poet philosopher of England, W. E. Henley, in his "Invictus," Garvey dramatically declared, "In the fledlitch of circumstances, I have not winced or cried under the blightings of chance, my head is bloody, but umowed. "I a short time I shall be in the mother country, England, not only interests but shall be in other matters, England and continental Europe to represent the interests of the Negroes of America and the Negroes of the world to represent the interests of other representative bodies. I desire to see prosperity, but, by God, it shall not be on one side. I am not at all interested in the Negroes of America. I shall, as a common duty, devote my abilities to the uplift of the people of my race. I have not to apologize to smooth or behave black, because America is the place where I was doomed when he made me black. Must See Beauty In Black "Go back to ancient history and the mighty Greeks who laid the foundation of the present generation, and the will of the people of Europe were existing in continental barbarity, there were cave men eating their own dead and the people of Europe were existing in Ethiopia the cedds had a progressive civilization, because the Greeks looked upon us then as gods, the black men of Ethiopia, the black men of Egypt and Timbuco and Alexandria gave the light of civilization to the black men of Ethiopia, stretch forth her hands unto God, and princes shall come out of Egypt. I would be untrue to the faith of my own conscience. I would be untrue to my God, if I did not stand upon the platform of racial righteousness, of the people of Europe, of racial self-respect. Why, there is no beauty in the world except it looks "I shall teach the black man to see beauty in himself to the exclusion of all others and be hanged to the execution of all crimes. What do I care about you, if you do not care anything about me? I should not be willing to honor men as they honor me, but if you think the honor is going to be on one side, you are Fear God. Respect Law Bou, respect law "Reduce the proposition to its finest logical conclusion and you will find that outside of the desire of society to arrange itself for its own protection, there is nothing in the world outside of law for a man who wants to be a judge. You want Negro people of Jamaica and the world to realize that God is the only power in the world that you should fear. Respect law, because society arranges the law for your own benefit. Society certain executives, see that the executive. Respect those executives, respect law, but fear no man." Fcars No Man "Where is there a man in all the universe that can strike fear or terror in the heart of Marcus Garvey and abuse other people. That does not mean license to run amuck, and that does not mean a license to disobey. You expect others to respect you, you naturally must respect them. These are the cardinal principles upon which the Negro Improvement Association, and anyone who says to the contrary is a darned liar." *Wife Joins President Mrs. Amanda Garvey for life last week to join her husband in Jamaica.* "Y" Arrivals Guesses registered at the Y.

Walls REFORM DEPENDS UPON THE COMMON PEOPLE Mission Field Idle While Self Chosen Band Gam- ble At Pie Counter A transition is coming when laymen and ministers shall vote equally in mak- ing of laws, declares B. shop W. J. Walls. Taking up the cudgel in law of Bishop Vernon's "Reformation of Revolution" the Zion leader, who is the official national paper, denies the church faces a change in the attitude and the rank and file that shows in dissatisfaction with the machineries of the church. Prey Of Ambitions The change is more and more becoming the prey of ambitions who with their training influence seek to control things in the interest of themselves and their largest churches. That is if you push me to power, give me the advantage boards and large conferences I will give you the best and largest churches. That is if you slogan of the rush. The people in the leadership that makes it an emphasis the collecting coroul chars and the making of offices and the materialized trend of our discussion and on conference floors is depressed to the people of vision and service. War Spirit Brewing The war spirit is brewing and in stead of a meeting whose subject is the strengthening the stakes and the workers, we are increasing the workers and gathering the feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, we have the coming battle of the giants over the heritage of the advantage of the workers in associations with those who subsist to the fond schemes of their chief, political combines and promises that presage a scene contributing to the advantage of just as another struggle of human that has forgotten Christ—For what one says I am of Paul and another, I am of Apollos, are not carmil People Losing Respect The pope has asked the leaders, growing cowered toward the church, calling its chief priest jokes. The word is being passed only after what they can cut out of the church and let us keep ours for ourselves and children. When we make practically no provision for the old age of those who give their whole time to the ministry while we elect them to serve other jobs for them to serve other jobs for them while they draw salary from the church and then proceed to pension their own widows from the general Knows The Hell Because I know the hell that the worldly spirit wreaks upon organizations, and because I recall how it nations when given the ropes, and because I have the faith that the soul of Zion is right, and when one is justice and vindication of justice and vindication Eternal Prudence to man. I sense a transition for the church. As one of the men chosen to lead the church, his hands are tied who hold office unless the men and women closest to the people stand up and stand up for the right. The church is not the place to enrich the higher up, and no man, nor group of men who spend their time on the small issues of "what shall we eat", and "what shall we be clothed" on serve the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Al. Pie Counter It will become a church whose home mission field for the most part is standing faltering for the lack of men and means to have a chosen heavenly place, the gaze of mighty and money coffee while they exploit and deceive the poorer and weaker ones of the group to slin off to the general conference to perpetuate themselves as the office and with no intention of giving the returns of service and sacrifice. The inference is plain. All men who carry the gospel must be the office or pulitin gives the man the feeling of exemption from the spirit of sympathy for his fellow and sacrifice for the well-being of others. he misses the mark of the Christian witness.

Then another thought seemed to threaten. Hawkins as to needs of the masses. He was around in his swivel chair and looked at the writer, he said: "The biggest thing in the government of this great city is to keep the budget down to the necessary size.

He is a prominent figure upown and highly respected. During the later days of the Taft administration, he pointed Minister to Liberia, but President Wilson nullified the appointment before the incumbent had a chance to sail. He and an aidesman is $5,000 per year, and the term is for two years. Bluebird Dance NEWARK, N.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER It is now nearly fifty years since the last gun of the Civil war was fired. The right to vote, the right to office, and to enjoy the civil rights and social privileges, things prevalent then, now forty years afterward are denied, either through legislation or custom. Today when the daily papers in America minimize the good that we do and magnify the evil, the need of a strong Negro press becomes more and more of a necessity. I cannot too strongly emphasize this important point. Bitter Dose Governor Al Smith has come out against the Ku Klux Klan. He said last week "I regard the purposes of this organization with abhorrence and I consider them subversive of the fundamentals of American democracy. "Nevertheless, in so far as it lies within my power under the law, I would accord to you exoneration and the unjustified justice that I would give to anybody else." Klan ridden Dixie will read with a bleary face, for it has already conceded the democratic nomination to Al Smith and is busy devising excuses for climbing into his band wagon. Dixie knows it must accept either wet, Catholic and anti-Klan Al Smith or four more lean years of G. O. P. control. The national pine counter Dixie will cast aside its principles and support Al. It's a bitter dose but "half a loaf is better than no bread." Emancipation Day Celebration of January 2. Emancipation Day is not nation wide for the very good reason that when Abraham Lincoln's proclamation went into effect January 2, 1863, half the colored people in Maryland for example were already free. At that time Maryland's colored population numbered 170,000-35,000 people and Baltimore there were 29,911 free colored persons and 5400 slaves. Here is a table showing the number of free people and slaves in the year 1860. | Precedents | Slaves | | :--- | :--- | | UNITED STATES | 83,070 | | MARYLAND | 83,942 | 2,358,531 | | VIRGINIA | 58,042 | 81,180 | | NEW ENGLAND | 50,499 | 400,865 | | NEW YORK | 40,056 | ... | | NORTH CAROLINA | 30,463 | 331,059 | | WEST CAROLINA | 30,463 | 331,059 | | DELAWARE | 18,282 | ... | | DELAWARE | 18,282 | ... | | LOUISIANA | 18,647 | 331,275 | | GOSPEL | 16,547 | 432,188 | | ALABAMA | 2,690 | 432,080 | | MISSISSIPPI | 773 | 436,831 | The table shows a number of states without a slave. New England states were exterminated slavery just after the Revolution and the continental congress abolished slavery in the North-West territory in 1787. Another reason for the lack of interest in Emancipation Day as a fete day lies in the discovery of the younger generation that Abraham Lincoln's proclamation was dictated by military necessity rather than by moral and humane reasons. Emancipation might have been an act of Providence, but Providence waited until the union was in jeopardy before it acted. The emancipation would must turn from the emancipator and his motives to the fact that today Negroes are still but half free. Complete emancipation is an achievement not a bequest. If full citizenship is the goal, time now not to celebrate part accomplishments. Charity Begins At Home Need of change in the American immigration policy in order to admit more aliens was emphasized in an address by Governor Alceo C. Ritchie of Maryland speaking before a Washington audience last week. The governor is merely an academic question which he discussed in order to impress the capital that he can think in international terms and is therefore to be considered seriously in his bid for democratic nomination for the presidency. This he theorizes 10,000 good Americans in Baltimore City were out of work. This is Baltimore City and what of rural Maryland? The Bureau of Agricultural Economics reports that "during 1908 there has been a great increase in the number of colored persons living on farms decreased almost twice as rapidly as the number of whites. Mr. Victor Daniels, superintendent of Cardinal Gibbons Institute at Ridge, Md., made an instructive address at Carvel Hall recently, where he have listened in with Prof. Mr. Daniels said. "Investigation shows very little that could be classed as a state program for the advancement of the colored farm population of the State. To encourage the 48.318 colored people who are living and toiling on other farms, Mary Ward has been vocational agriculture. One of these schools is in Charles county; the other, in Somerset county. "Two colored local farm demonstration agents and one colored woman demonstrator were the total of the personnel of workers assigned to the help of the colored rural population, to enable the farm dwellers of American standards. When we realize that the colored citizens of the State are distributed through twenty-three counties, the inadequacy of this help is obvious. Again, while it is theoretically true that the entire staff of trained agriculturists of the University of Maryland is at the disposal of American, regardless of color, in practice this seldom if ever works out satisfactorily. Does Not Ask For Help "If a colored farmer were to take the initiative and ask for this help, no doubt he would receive consideration; but the very fact that the majority of these farmers are uneducated and unprogressive, means that they will fail to attempt to secure help, and are incapable of using the printed directions which may be sent to them. The result is that the average colored farmer is not appropriate to moon, set his chickens after a dark night and waste valuable days and sometimes weeks of perfect planting weather, waiting for appropriate rain, basking with milk and line on the shore of the creek, while land remains unemployed. and his family remains living from hand to mouth. What does Maryland's governor think of all this? Hear him: "The fundamental fact in American history, was the fact that this country received the benefit of experienced workers from abroad who played abig part in the economic development of the country." Governor Robert R. McKee the AFRO-AMERICAN of the man who hunted all over the world to find a four leafed clover and returning home exhausted and aged picked up one in his own back yard. Maryland needs in the state house at Annapolis is a chief executive who will use his time and talent to improving and educating the citizens we already have. Why discuss the problem of Europe. Governor, when there are thousands at home without a job, without a school house and outside the influence of state farm, Charity should begin at home. DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES What Did Our Fact Finding Conference Find? Thousands of young men and women on the brink of active careers will await with interest any settled racial policy growing out of the finding racial policy growing out of the Durham. Whether or not such a definite racial formula will be forthcoming as a result of the assessment, the assessment, or the listed reports, it will be enough to pub- lish the various addresses as a symposium. Any eight grade public school student has had opportunity to read every view of the various books that the student reads. What Negro needs now is a definite and workable formula under which, aside from his or her personal and individual aspir- ation, contribute something to a fixed racial destiny. Black Or White They do not want *any* sidestepping or equivocation. They want to know definitely whether they are to work towards a race that they want to achieve. They want business aspirant wants to know whether he should have a racial attitude towards business, or whether he should seek to find places in the world where he can work and want to know they use the biological factors and make to lessen darker or lighter: pigmentation. Young men aspiring to stateships want to train their forces awards a fine and decisive credit in the world, or shall the American Negro lose his identity in the American melting pot. These, of course, are questions that few leaders have the courage to meet in practical answers, BUT UNTIL THEY ARE SET DOWN AUTHORITATIVELY FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THEIR FELLOWS. THEY WILL BE DRIPTING ON AN UNCHARTERED SEA AND WITHOUT COMPASS. Divided In Aims At present we are extremely divided in aims. At the very top there is a small group of women and women who believe that the group should be taken into the white as it obtains cultural and economic autonomy; at the bottom are those of the Garvey persuasion who see salvation and liberation and cementing the interest of the colored race in national basis with Africa as a background. Between these are all gradations of those who go to so-called time when a satisfactory race relation exists, and here in America without either race losing its identity. At any rate, it is about time that we decide what we can history to set down as our ultimate race destiny. Japanese Dolls Return Good Will What is going on in on the minds of children today becomes of vast importance twenty years ago. In an effort to offset injustice and prejudice towards Japanese territorials on the island of Japan, a group sent to that country some time ago a number of "good will dolls," that twenty years from now that growing and powerful nation might not be able to afford to pay them. Although there was a certain amount of "method in this madness," there was no doubt of the basic soundness of the project, and that the group was willing to bear the bearing gifts, they have reincorporated the jesture and a few days ago a number of Japanese dolls arrived in this country to sow the good will among American white children. Here is a sound formula also which might be used to advantage by those white and coloured children in the racial welfare in these United States. Stop spending so much energy attempting to alter the jelly brains of grownups and sow the good will among the cars of the men and women of TOMORROW. Wipe Out Jim Crow This will mean of, course, the wiping out of jim crow schools, jim crow playgrounds, jim crow Sunday Schools and jim crow Jesus Christ. If for just one generation we could keep the cankerous venom of racial prejudice out of our schools, we could scrap navy; reduce our blood sucking army to a minimum; tear down half of our jails and asylums and distribute our wealth in such a way that all who worked honestly have plenty in this land of "milk and honey." The Mining Industry The same kind of peonage, if press reports are to be credited, that has been used on plantations in this region, may ploit migrants into the Ohio and Pennsylvania coal regions. Analysis of some of the pay checks of colored labor in this region has to have shown net wages of $3 per day, a wage in that section which makes it barely possible to meet family expenses and thereby keeps the work; it has also been used to employ in some of the districts "company" money in the forms of brass checks, good only at company stores, is being used to pay wages. The depression in the steel industry, have always been the first to feel any industry depression and have been forced to go to the plantations to work. The workers are being used to break the strike conducted by the United Milne Workers of America, a strike, which, if lost, will cast a dark shadow on the man in this country for many years to come. There are some unions which have themselves been responsible for scrabbing, but the United States Mine Workers Union has been the first to condone it to race workers. In fact, workers in the group are fighting in the strike side by side with their white co-laborers. They should join in a movement to either group out of the striking mines, or have them join in the common struggle to improve working conditions and wages there along with their white brothers. ---O--- Poem This Week Poem This Week A LOVING WORD Take time to speak a loving word And gather others in the mind And gather others of its kind And gather others of its nature Erstwhile the heart we wear and bare; And somewhere on thy heavenward track There music will come with melody, Such is love's immortality.

To the Editor: We extend Supreme Ruler of the universe, we commend to Thy fatherly loving kindness and tender mericles, this race of ours. Help us in the coming days to be on the side of righteousness and right, and to be on the side of kindness and purity, and to be of mankind. As thou hast given us the tendencies to smile, sing and pray in the time of troubles, sorrows and afflictions even in great and singing melodies in our hearts to thee, no matter what troubles, trials and tribulations may confront us, as we journey on. Grant us into that of great successes, we may be strong and of a great courage. Have mercy upon the people of our race in the great continent of Africa and the continent of Asia, afflicted, or oppressed by other races, and exploiters who have reduced them to involuntary servitude, and help them, as only Thou can do. We do not know what we do that we do pray for their deliverance, and that thou hast heard and answered our prayer. Bless all races of people throughout the entire continent of being kindness and tender mericles. Remove far from us, all hatred, malice and strife, so that we may turn To thee with clean eyes and pure mind. We will be grateful to this people to Thee, the day and occasion they celebrate, and be Thou to them a mighty fortress, rock and tower. We will be kindness and benefits in the name of the Tribe, God, Amen. Try This For 1928. Recipe for A Happy Year.

The batch will keep for one year; make up one batch as a time with all of them each day of courage, nine of work (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest). eight of hope, seven of fidelity, six of liberality, eight of courage, nine of work (some people omit is like leaving the oil out of the salad—Do not do it; three of prayer, two of meditation and one well selected resolution.

BY MATTET TRUEL, 1807 North Carey St. Jas. O. Blair The Great Propert and His Attack on Christian Religion And Not A. B. Koger. This letter is addressed to Mr. Jas. O. Bliak who upholds Dr. William Pickens' discourse on the Christian faith. He calls our religion the *farthest* and calls our religion the *most* man's religion, and as a race we are called stupid. He then wants the letter by Roscoe Simmons, engraved. First, Mr. Pickens and Mr. Simmons are products of the Church and not the church of them. Whatever they once were they owe it to religion and whatever they are now they owe it to them. You mention the Bible as a fine piece of junk as ever came from the press. Here you undertake to show your vit but ignorance appears ahead. You also state that the Bible was written to deceive the proletarian and dark races of the world, to show your vit but ignorance appears ahead. You race has furnished the greatest number martyrs, from Stephen down to this day. Proceed farther and attend* to speak for: our leading men and denounce at least a part of God's word as junk and bed-time stories; your very English junk betrays your sense of reason, your sense of duty, your sense of the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord. So you are wrong in trying to justify Pickens as your second condemnation is your insult to Koger. REV. P. A. ROSE, 21 Priscilla Ave., Duquesne, Pa. Pastor of Payne A. M. E. Church. America's Culture Is Like The Sun: Sometimes You Can't See It. In Georgia, Civilization Has Been Dead For Centuries. To the Editor: Of all the hideous crimes committed in cultured America since Emancipation, none yet is so barbarous as those revealed at Jacksonville. Pla, where with human power the proud city authorities boast of the fact that they use Negroes to do the work that even horses, mules, oxen, saw nothing of machinery, cannot do. Imagine, if you please, human souls, ye, black men; the children of noble royalty, the descendants of the once proud Ethiopians who dispensed civilization to the world, from which lineage sprang Solomon, and the children of Ham, and others. These are the sons of the fathers that build and furnished the materials with which the great temple was built, by orders of Solomon, the children of Hiram. Now that they have been unmercifully reduced to the abhorrent level of common beast, that they are being strung to plows in teams of six and eight, in this day of advanced culture, education and science. Has mankind, especially the white man, lost all sense of human justice of sympathy or remorse? Garvey fold us so several years ago, now we see clearly the difference. There are extremes back the vast plantations. There are extremes southern states, where black men have not known a dav of partial freedom since their birth. They have been tied down to the credit system, and they have not been born. They have not seen a city. Neither can they read. But that is a small matter; the deplorable thing about it is that this condition continues to exist in this country flowing with Democratic power. Land of the free, and the Brave." But it's Hard To Smile When Some One Steps Out. To The Editor: "Self-respect" means a lot, but a tew have it. When we citizens ride public on street cars, we should respect them. If someone from the sudden flick of the car should step on your foot and ask excuse, it is hard to do. You really need it hurts, to take it with a smile. But do not cause a commotion or hurt anyone's feeling. Do not let the people know more about your home, you know you know your home you get your friends in private to discuss matters. If you have nothing to do, read a book and get the AFRO and learn how the race is improving. Simple Thoughts. We are nearing the end of the old year and as we do our best or not, if we have done our best or not. If we have there is still a chance, for the New Year presents us with opportunities for more and better work. The Week The Week A Georgia Hero This humble writer stood talking with Walter S. Dickey, the Kansas City millionaire and publisher of the Kansas City Post and Kansas City Journal, on Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, when a band, playing for dear life, swung into the avenue from the Treasury Building. Conversation gave way to that martial strain. There followed a great parade of young white men and grizzled old white men dressed in uniforms now out of date. It was Georgia, represented by the young and old, ladies of another generation and belles of this age, on its way to the Capitol to dedicate a monument to Alexander H. Stephens as one of its two heroes given place under the dome. . . . Get down your histories and read up on Stephens and Georgia. Take time to look up the proceedings of the Darden convention. Turn to the book "The Darden Toubms, one of the great intellects of his time." Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy, didn't have much use for Jefferson Davis. After the rebellion he returned to Congress at Washington. Georgia, unable to march down Pennsylvania vanage behind Stephens in the flesh, marched down the Way of Liberty behind his memory. Are not Southern Americans deprived? Learn from them endurance, purpose, patience. One of the great stories of the Civil War is Stephens's War Between the States. You will hardly find it in an ordinary book store, but some one of your class might have read it. Ask them to touch it up for you. February 12, 1878 Carpenter's famous picture of Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation was unveiled in the Capitol. Mr. Stephens, then a member of congress, was asked to sign it. Here is a sentence from that speech: In the providence of God, why their ancestors (colored Americans) were permitted to travel over ever since not only say, but they have a location and habitation here, especially in the South; and since the changed condition of their status, though it was the leading cause of the late terrible storm of 1883, I think I may venture to affirm there is not one within the circle of my acquaintance, or in the whole Southern country, who would wish to be honored in the honoured in the Capitol he wanted to tear down. Our white people are getting together. If you are wise you will join them, make merry and celebrate. Some day your children will see a monument to Henry Lincoln Johnson in the state capitol at Atlanta. So life runs. Stephens in Washington and Lincoln Johnson in Washington would be honored UNITED PEOPLE. Faith removes mountains. Praver Book England is torn to pieces over a quarrel over a Prayer Book. The lords, that is, the hisheng, the king, the emperor, the Emperor Commons, that is the branch of the legislature which corresponds to your House of Representatives, asked to uphold the vote of the lords, voted the prayer book down. That is interesting, particularly to a praying people like you. Christians, like to pray, some calling the Lord by name, some by another. Do you think it possible to improve upon the prayers of years ago John Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church of England, although he died a member of the Church of England, which is one of the oldest and most readable prayers and told his followers to pray as the Spirit moved. Religion and prayer are always a MOST important element in the life of a person, enlightened, filled with power. Your religion has brought you thus far, although many laugh at you, often saying that God ought to do some people who think so much of Him as you do. . . . History doesn't show that He has ever done as MUCH for anybody else. In the Prayer Book written by man and pray from the heart. After awhile you will begin to pray AFTER faith and you for faith. Then days will be brighter. You often hear the say, "His mouth is no praver book," The best prayer book, however, is the one that is heart; heart; not humble before men but before God. The Flag Of The Confederacy The flag of the Confederacy, emblem of the warriors, who fought against the stars, is buried with Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, known to many, many thousands and died recently. Richmond, who honorary president of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, most tenacious organization of tenacious women in this country, took our heart to Colobol and her age. The flag graced the casket of the great Jefferson Davis, whose affection was divided between the Confederacy and his love of right. Mr. Davis' love of the confederacy was a love of liberty in government. But he was ineffective because his heart was on the side of the slave. Read the estimate of Jefferson Davis from the pen of Edward A. Pollard, editor of the famous Richmond Examiner during the war, and brilliant historian. Turn now to page 88-90 of 91 of his Causes. Mr. Davis was a man whose dignity, political scholarship, whose classical and lofty expressions, whose literary style—unexcelled—perhaps in the power of STATE-MEMORIAM, well-polished manners and distinguished air were likely to adorn the high station to which he had been raised, and calculated to qualify him, in many striking respects, to be the proud inhabitant of the south. "But these accomplishments CONCEALED from the hasty and superficial view defects of character which were most serious, almost NTAL, in their consequence. His dignity was not a mere display of his intelligence, which stimulated by an intellectual coneit, spurned the counsels of equal minds." And so on Mr. Pollard goes, you had never heard that Mr. Davis had been criticised by a friend, when on the occasion of a bad fold. At another time, this humble looking, listening, TRAVELING for you, will bring to you from Mr. Pollard and other coniferate historians descriptions of Mr. Davis. Now all are gone—Davis, Pollard, Lee. around him, the shaven-headed Stephen, whose "War Between the States" will give you much to think about if you would take it from the shelf, and Mrs. Randolph. Angels looking at her beloved flag will say, "O. Lord, please look under it; then Sisera, and now and then the Caesars, great warriors. English sings fouch under it at Valley Forge; then Lee and Jefferson Davis. Mr. Randolph. Her flag, though buried with her, will be seen above ALL soldiers who contest God. Though buried it still floats. No Color Line There Bennet J. Doty, *white*, of Alabama, in the story of his experiences in the French Foreign Legion tells how he had to rely upon a black Californian to get his start. (From the N. Y. WORLD) I entered the guardroom and presented my enlistment papers to the Sergeant in charge, a little Frenchman with fierce upturned moustaches. Noticing in my papers, "nationality was not remarked," "There is another here. Call Phillips." Down the stairs came a big black boy. "Writing to you?" You joined up? "Come along and I will fix you up." Whereupon Phillips, whose first name is Charles, took me up to the sleeping quarters and got me a bunk. For the next two or three hours, I watched him play. Was my official interpreter. I knew no French. I picked it up as I went along. I never learned much about Phillips. He hailed from California, believe and then had served about forty years and self. He was the healer as a railway station guard. Afro Readers Say Readers may write on any subject they like. Usual 180-page books are enough.

Regrets that the AFRO Has Stopped Publication of "Lollipop" Letters. To the Editor: much interested in a recent editorial on the fraternities. These college youngsters, in the modern spirit of "flaming youth," are running wild, drinking like fish and gambling like the meat without grammers. I hope that you will touch them up again. Many decent people in the District of Columbia are wondering why you stopped the Lollipop from dropping on me. We were destined to do good work. There are some conditions in Negro so-called society that escape the vigilant eye of the police. It takes the eyes of the police to notice the inscriptions and expose them in the interest of decency. I have my grave suspicions relative to that Court. I have been in the day, and that day was enough to convince me that it was no place for me. Though ladies had been invited, there was so much liquor; floaters and alcohol could kill the odor. My fears ever since have been increasing. Those letters, were justifying my convictions. I am sorry, with publicity—D. C. By MATTIE TRUEL, 1607 North Carey St. LEONARDO DI VINCI SCHMIDT, Detroit, Mich "THE AFRO CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY," -Eugene Gordon, 1927 Survey. An orphanage and a school for blind and deaf, each costing more than $100,000 has been constructed in less than two years. As the state has rebuilt Galloway and Jawahir Hill reconstructed these buildings only—But Neurosci could remind the almshouse under the highest direction of Mr. Lakshmin and through the efforts of T. G. Nerur, the physical physician specializing in Hospital For Injury. The State Hospital for Colored People is quite two years old. It is being built in sections, the first of which cost a quarter of a million, and the second section will be constructed for another quarter of a million. The appropriation is already seen made. In the case of all the other institutions for colored people, the appropriation for a colored staff throughout, Dr. G. C. Burrell, the superintendent, came to the hospital from a private practice coupled with a successful private practice run by Negroes in the state. The state provides a separate sanitation for the colored patients, superintended by Dr. B. A. Critchley, who has been successful private practice in Charleston, W. Va. The West Virginia Collegiate Institute, John W. Davis, president, has land and buildings to $830.757. Bluefield Institute, R. C. Simmons, president, has some large building appropriations, since the final decision of state officials and local officials to retain the present site of the school. It is trying to do in the faith attempt at faculty impossible task. serious questions increase with the present system. An effort was made some years ago to get a segro on the State Board of Education, and to compromise provided a board of Negro advisors and a committee of Negro advisors are paid $1000.00 a year each for his or her "SERVICES"; and are appointed by the Governor of the state. Education is not partisan; of the three members, he is from the minority party. But with the Negro Board it is wholly a matter of politics. The men now serving are J. R. Jefferson and H. Morton—and of the three members, the school and other former high school and W. W. State Supervisor of Negro Schools is the chief man. He has an A.B. degree from Lincoln University. This is no adequate warrant for his position in the two capacities. The legal title of his position is that of "Supervisor of Negro Rural Schools." The men (Negroes) who have the ears of politicians of the state are lenient. I tended to give the state's recommendations much wider ward Hill for Blacks. Industrial training for Negroes. The future of Negroes could not be left to their "wisdom" were they all clean and honest. The Clergy The clergy in West Virginia is in a bad way. The ministry in the state with executives (thank God) for the success of Johns and the other few), is said out either to mine operators and politicians or is enslaved by ignorance. In cases the threefold enslavement occurs. There is a question mark behind the future of Negroes in West Virginia.

Negro orators talk well for the sake of the audience, but they deeply enough not to act contrary to their preachments. Perhaps, reformers are not supposed to be reformed. There exists among Negroes a society with an unbroken tradition of being accredited with some excellent achievements. It might, however, render as laudable service if it leveled some of its lively artillery at members of its own race until it has wiped out of existence some of its own constantly with the self-respect of the race. Inconvenience When one reduces all this segregation business to its lowest terms, one finds that the Negro is the most vulnerable to the acceptance of the cliché, but rather upon its inconvenience. Whenever segregation brings happiness to the Negro, the radical opponents are accepted even by the most radical opponents, and gustily evident that much of the furore is for platforms, periodicals, and buttonholes convoluted so that no one not only talk what they feel, but live it as well. The most recent example of Negro inconsistency, of national scope, was witnessed a few years ago by a group of ability wilttered at the Republican banquet that had its origin in the most clever trick that segregationists have ever practiced upon intellectuals. The result was the acceptance of Columbia. Hon. Perry, Howard was host. The Why Of It It happened like this. Certain national commemoration, of sable hue, were by right of their own, and the national league, in honor of the national committee, the fain would have been there—in fact, belonged there; but their presence would not be "tolerant" of the sable hue, in the capital of the world's greatest democracy. Simultaneously with the white banquet, the in-crow banquet was brought to such a subsidiary pletion that the unsuspecting lagen are still proclaiming wondering when the Republic will fall. Long List Of Diners A glance at the list of those who attended the jamboree and the names of some of the race most valiant women who are fighting in season and out of season against segregation. The society with the most valiant fellows, who are usually the most susceptible to make them look little and ridiculous. So it follows that we suggest howlers about segregation were pulled out of the byways to make up a segregated party for the colored national committee, whose table at which they belonged, we lead 127. Democrats Laugh Some of the democrats from states which are not quite humane in their discrimination and segregation are laughing up their sleeves. It is going to be especially embarrassing to a number of these local gladiators to be taunted about their inconsistency in helping to make up a segregated assembly, in order that members of their race might be jim-crowded. Not even ignorance of the source of the feast will excuse those who walked so nimbly into segregation. Most sane people of voting age know that all political banquets have some source and some purpose. No man single-handed digs down into his pocket, however fathomless it may be, to furnish such a feast. No particular benefit could accrue to any political party from a free feed to a motley host that could not raise a dozen bona fide voters in the entire assembly. Hhelping Segregation There must have been some ulterior motive for taking people socially busy from their access to the cat traits and listen to a few moss-covered jokes. They give the high and mighty national committee a chance to eat with their own hue, though they logically belonged with other committees. Every person who helped to swell the audience gave the high and mighty national committee. Well, this is the story. Loud denials are now in order. Perhaps some of the representatives of the society with the long name will care to investigate this form of segregation and make a report on the founder of the feast and the Loudest Yellers The fact persists that the Negroes who yell the loudest about segregation fail the easiest victims of the violence. The convenience does not suffer. Rob some of the the publicity of their vallant battles, and no battles will ensue. They may wrought up over insults. It may be that the sun never goes down on their wrath. This is one reason why insults are loaded upon the Negroes. They are easily plate, and a sparkling beeker are enough to banish all cares and to allay all indignation. Free Plate A final word to these race leaders who are carrying the burdens of the race so heavily is merely to persuade them to stop all this talk and expand the practice is a free plale by welcome. Saturday, Jan. 7, 1928 Clergy And Leaders Sold Out To Politicians, Mine Owners Or Enslaved By Ignorance. LEWIS K. McMILLAN Like young Joseph of Canaan, West Virginia wears a coat of many colors. Spiritually the state borders various extra combination states, Kentucky, Ohio. Pennsylvania; all have spheres of influence which are far more real than state lines themselves. And in the interior similarly extreme contours. And most provinces of all sections of the people come from other states with them the common characteristics and anders—those feeling hardship or those seeking larger opportunity, or those seeking other victims. shades of conditions obtain—anything from blessed open freedom to the form and conditions of slavery and soulless serenity. Dual Government A dual government exists in the state; that is for and by the people, in name, headed at the center by a numerous petro- governments, centered in the rich municipalities, explicitly for and by the greedy absurdities. They set the wakes, they hire and fire, they build cheap mountainous huts for the miners to work on, they build cheap houses at their own prices, and will not allow them to come in from without. They are the last ones themselves. They reap the profits from coal and gas. These holy hills of natural bounty echo the re-echo with the groans of the starve, and slaughtered. They are desecrated by bold bandits who take for selfish luxury and waste what Nature has stored for the comfort of the mine operator controls all phases of the life of his workers and their families: the schoolhouse and the church are on its property. He says who the preacher must be and what he teaches must be and what she teaches; the wages, and the taxes. Miners are now working from one to three days a week. Yet other men are being hired. With nothing laid up the miner will hardly be able to strike or to clear case for government ownership of coal, mine and other natural resources. Biggest Joke One of the biggest jokes in the whole state is the Negro Welfare Department, now headed by Dr. Robert E. Noland, from the well known Princeton University INDIANA. T. Edward Hill created the job for himsei and enjoyed it luxuriously for a few years, until he was forced to leave. As a local pastor at Clarksville, Rev. Johnson became a friend of Governor Gore and later made influence among Negroes—increasing political pressure against him. Brother Robinson what his present function is: He stammered a little but later referred to this written statement from the press: "This is the duty of the director to inspect all hotels, restaurants, noodles and other pub places operated by Negroes. He has recently completed the regular graduate course in The New York School of Social Work. Mr. Pase's policies rule out Economics and Sociology, but policies rule out Negroes in West Virginia are in politics." Industrial Home For Girls The state of West Virginia is future business hard for an outsider to imagine what has been done here within the range of five cities in the line of new buildings and equimuths. Gisel is in the words of James S. Lakin, the State Board of Control and one of the largest souls in all America, more like a single man. The state's calloused, called inincorrect girls have been in a building that cost more than $100,000. Each girl has a separate room and decent comment. Accord is care of a woman of character — Mrs. Paroleen in as many schools and are manicured in as many schools and are manicured Boys' Home An Industrial Home for Boys is located at 1000 W. 42nd St., costing a quarter of a million dollars. Born and raised in Brooklyn, brothered by a gentleman, Samuel Gordon, and other associates, including two well-trained young women who devote full time to read class. Orphanage—School Filled! Hospital For Insane W. Va. Institute The Politicians The Clergy WEEK'S PROGRAMS FOR BALTIMORE PICTURE THEATRES Saturday, Jan. 7, 1928 Critics See "Show Boat" "Short Boat" has made its theatrical port. It was moved to the stage docks at the great Ziegfeld Theatre at Lincoln Center of arrival that has over attained any similar previous arrival of a theatrical craft at Broadway's traditional critic-ridden, hardbound book of "missing men"—and, too, open. That we may not seem to be over enthusiastic due to a race bias of favor, in reference to the significance of the "brother in black's" contribution to the musical field, are drawn from the columns of the poplistian dailies, as penned by the most exacting "Olaf" critic of the world—men who really know the difference between a high grade musical comedy with finished artistry, a low grade musical efforts, an artistic mediocre, musical mangle of doubtful finish: The first the critique of Alan Dale, the theater critic of New York University, December 21, 1957 The New York American, December 21, 1927. The "colored people" were in their elescent. I think we are gradually beginning to realize that they've "collected" neighbors of us as essentially dramatic and so in turn they've "collected" their "impossible" financial that we can use them for a good any purpose that the theatre demands. Take Jules Bledsoe, frinstance, and see his been dramatic instinct and hear his selvesty tones. Here in "Show Bont" we had a gorgeous story of the "colored folks" in their own putters and we listened to them chanting and singing and watched them all a dance and alive with energy, taking an interesting part of a variegated story. Host Scene Splendid Where Joe got down on his uppers and warbed Old Man River with his jubilee singers, I thought "Porgy" and of other adults, the colors selection, and you'd get the color of the 'Porgy' and you'd get the color selection, and you'd get the color selection. It was merely a "musical show". Of course, if you've read Miss Ferber, you'll recall the "White" characters and the very beautiful Magnolias and the heroic Pavena and all the queer types that entred them so excellently. But, for me, the "Show Boat" scene was in itself worth the price of admission. Donald Bustle Seat: Richard Watts, June in the Herald-Tobacco, December 21, 1927. If we want details, you must hereby be informed that the gorgeous pseudo-spiritual, Old Man River, the moving "Can't Help Loving That Man" and the amazing "Life on the Wicked Stage" are almost certain of seeing the inereticious success of being popular in the chabrets. "Though it is Mr. Winninger who carries off all the histrionic honors of "Show Boat" without effort, there should be mentioned also the quadroon Julie, sympathetically played and sung by Helen Morgan; her husband competently done by Charles Ellis; the site of Captain Andy, briefly and expertly beamed by Edna Mae Oliver, and the short list fortayed by the Negro, Jules Bledsoe, who says with vocal beauty worthy of it, the most beautiful number of the show, "Old Man River." World Next, take the Morning New York World. December 21, 1927. Old Man River has the lazy wash of the Mississippi in its cadence and there is the central croning of an impromptu Negro interest. The men are very so much as they can do with the same impompetible cast. To us the fact that Norma Teris was a pleasantly lyrical and extremely unseemed man has been seemed to him. The Man River Bledsoe's cello tones in Old Man River than the black laughter of the Rube chonc of that the superb spectacle of the man's chombs of the gorgon's chombs of the conscientious sponse in the gracious manner of a sentimental hobby-horse all decked out from Godys. New York Sun Stephen Raffanini: The New York Sun. December 21, 1927. The detones Kern songs are unusually melodious, and, thanks to the presence on the stage of many Negros, the singing of the banders of the two in town. "Howard Marsh of Student Prince" fame, plays the hoardbrewer gainbler, Gaylor Revival, and the section down into being a survival, and the "Mamch" March had as its only singing rival jules Bledsoe, the Negro actor. Who made such an excellent impression in Deep River, Edr. Marsh sang the song "The Man River" and the line of the song "Mr. Revise" had the honor of singing Old Man River, the biggest song hit of the piece. Jeone Kern's music ranks among his best and most common one of his music works. The "Mamch" was a long-term performance. New York's Eve celebration. By that time "Old Man River" will be one of the popular song hits of the season. Daily News The following is from Burns Mantle. The Daily News, December 21, 1927. A feature in a colored jubilee chorus of the band is the singing of boys and angels John, Bessie, Beesley and Holly with an Old Man River song and throughout the chorus. and now to enrich the unanimity of the retropolitan centres, we quote from the Brooklyn Field in the Brooklyn Daily Times, December 21, 1925. The company is that of Jules Bresliee, the Negro actor, who plays "Show Bout." This is the melodious score furnished by Jerome Kern. This fine composer is heard from infrequently these days in the Broadway theater, long term bound to achieve high success: Best of there is what might be called by Bresliee and a sorrowful colored male man River and in addition to being sung by Bresliee and a sorrowful colored male man River and in addition to being placed up againly again at several places in the action of the piece: "The Brooklyn Eagle," Last, the Brooklyn Eagle, December 21. The most enjoyable scenes are those belonging to the colored Jubilee Singers. With Bresliee, these six songs sing "Old Man River," about the best moment in the entire show, but still, Negro histrionic talents and Negro music are winning recognition as the parcel of what is best in true American life. Ray Snyder Out At Lincoln Theatre NEW YORK—Raymond Snyder white, for the past ten years man-made here, the new Lincoln Theatre here, restores the pavilion last week and has left Harlem. As to the exact cause of Mr. Snyder's resignation no one seems to know.

His resignation is looked upon as a culmination of these differences. Although whispers of a colored manager have been heard it is hard to know. The signed Drake and Walker's post.

Boston was nothing phenomenal and on the eve of its road tour from Broadway to its members are known have quite admittedly because of money differences. Lillian Westmorland, Mildred Coleman, Mae Barnes, Lavinia Mack, and others have known to have severed their connections with the aggregation. According to various performers, some have disbanded last week and left for their several homes.

In a program which ranged from Handel and Beethoven to Rachmaninoff and Quilter, and which included a group of grotesque symphonic and artistic comprehension to bear on each song. If at times one notices a departure from tradition, more especially in the classical songs, one was immediately repaired by the singer's rejection, and by his prodigious command of color. "She Comes Not" A particularly interesting example of this latter quality occurred in the parish besiege, which, in response to prolonged applause, Mr. Ioland Hays repeated a second time. In the inlet by *张旛亮*, the parish invested the words *starlight*, *candlelight*, and *dreamlight* each with a special significance and an individual tone—and, subtly, which is quite baffling. One might hesitate to bring the cumbersome machinery of an orchestra and a choir, while delicate pieces of gossamer as this were it not for the fact that it is one of the singer's most striking characteristics, and consequently one which deserves especial In this connection it is perhaps worth while recalling to mind that great works are often said to have cloaked the common letters of the alphabet with the dignity of a tragic poem, merely by the varying forms and dramatic power which is the indispensable asset of every great performer, and which Mr Roland Hayes may be said to possess a very remarkable degree of intensity. Handel-Brahms One remembers with especial pleasure his rendering of "Would Handel, for its delicacy and lightness of touch, the brooding calm of his rendering of his idolatrousness." The ruzged grandeur of the same composer's "Auf dem Kirehee and the Charmannoff's All Things Fade." Spirituals And then came the Negro Spiritual, and here we felt we were listening, and here we felt an interesting and refreshing experience to hear these sacred songs of the American Negroes sing at the half and passionate fervour that went to their creation. They are a genuine expression of the deep faith which the half and passionate syncretism in no way impure. Of these "Wade in the Water," with its unanswerable logic, inconsistent consequence, and "Steal Away," with its note of challenge, "My Lord, He Calls Me-He Calls Me by the Tundra," and Roland Haves reserved his tour defense for the final encore. "Crucifixion" A spiritual entitled the "Crucifixion". This he rendered unaccompanied, and held his audience soellbound—it was a veritable cry from the Mr. Harold Craxion accompanied the songs, and proved himself again that rare and sensitive great twitches of his voice would well to every mood of the singer in order to achieve the perfect blend of voice and pianoforte.

I am wishing you all a prosperous and happy Christmas. I WONDER "I wonder how many of our pro- fessors can stand up and say, 'Owing to owing one penny back salary.'" Not many. 1927 was a hard season for Mr. M. well often times found it impossible to meet his obligations, while there were a few bad eggs that—not hold the show and fed their people on promi- ses. A careful survey of the passing shows that many of them were E. M. Muse, Chappelle and Stimette, Billy King, Mrs. Garvey, Mitchell and Bradford had bad sales, and many of them scents, may these folks profit by their previous mistakes and prospez. PICKING WINNERS There were quite a few worth while attractions on the road this season, making quite compliments to Mastin and too, too. East a little too early to be positive. "Strutting" Hannah From Savannah "Mastin's" and Richardson's "Mastin" were the two that entered the Grand. In the East top honors go to Tim Moore's revue. As a single, no one has been able to unscat Bill (Boylans) Robinson, Jether Henderson and his Rosemary orchestra continue to lead in music. Concert honors go to Roland Hayes and Mine, Evantl. Irvin C. Miller and his honors as the race leading producer. Donald Heywood's "Tm Coming Virginia" brings him into the limelight. Of this year's photoplayers were on a per and not one could be rated over 15 per cent. ACCOMPLISHMENTS During 1827 a couple of new circuits sprung up opening new paths to the city's weekend shopping while seven new houses, opened. The Savoy Ballroom, Chicago, which recently opened, also affords additional work for performers. The city's events caused Broadway to sit up and take notice, so not a bad year after all. DIFFICULTIES 1927 was not without her difficulties. Mme. Lillian Evanti was forced to air her facial troubles, to have her face examined, to experience various difficulties with all her shows. Donald Heywood and Mitchell and Bradford headed nice revues that went under and Ger-den Sanders was the victim of bandits. OBITURARY As we gaze back into the passions of the year we find *Hudson Gilee* entertains *Baby Boy* All, cabaret entertainer, "Bass Turner, songster, Florence Mills, Instrumentalist," *Banks* Banks, Ralph Brown, both musicians, Fred Hart, noted *sight* character, and Naomi and *Jla*, rrominent helped to make up the toll of death.

The trip to "African" in Philadelphia, was to have taken her show "Paris Bound" to Europe, but the American dates seem to be more profitable than those in Africa, in the midst of its second week in the Quaker City and indications are that it will run even longer.

NEW YORK—Reviewing the year 1927 and looking forward to a new era of radio in 1928, M. H. Aylesworth, president of the National Association of Broadcasters, during the year approximately $60,000,000 was spent in the company's Red.

The company itself spent over $500,000 for talent utilized in 'sustaining' programs presented by itself, however, the achievements of our first program have been reached in every week of broadcasting.

Burris, Old Mosher street, one of the last of the original "Georgia Minstrels", as he deplored the dearth of good theatrical productions today. To him, there are no more "good" shows and the prospects for the future seem ex- MUSICIAN'S TRAIL By CARL DITON (For The A. N. P.) There is a sufficiently large Negro Joins Show Early Mr. Burris, at the early age of ten, entered the show business in New York City. He was one of the first stars of the gaga Minstrels, the company being at that time the only colored show on the road. He did songs, dances and monologues and associated Billy Green with Billy Green, Billy Banks, Tony Lucas and Charley White. Kersands who died many years ago, was the leading singer of the show, laugh with the little dancer, that was his insignable pal. Quick Money When the "Georgia Minstrels" were in their hey-day, Mr. Burris recalls that there were only two colored theatres of any importance in the city, and they were the Adelphia and Walnut Street Theatres in Philadelphia. The majority of minstrel audiences played under a tent or in the largest white theatres. After several tours of the United States the company went abroad and it was here, that, to use Mr. Burris's money seemed to flow "water." It was the custom when in England and Germany to put on performances in the big beer gardens. These performances were to be solely for the benefit of the individual minstrel members, and many were the times. Mr. Burris declares, when two or three of the men would pass big hats around and return with them loaded to the brim with colts and pater Joins Army After eight or ten years with Calender's "Georgia Mintrels, Burris joined him.

He was a writer and wrote up so many exposes of scandal and corruption that he was forcibly invited to leave town. He also worked on Mr. Burris' Gazette, the oldest Negro paper in Chicago, and the show business he composed a number of songs. Who remembers this song? A is for Adam P is for Pal P is for Sculptile, great and small Satan tempted Adam A tempted man Hadn't been for the Grace of God You'd all be dead and damned. Chorus: O, mourner you shall be When the good Lord sets you free, Mr. Burris takes credit for writing the verses for this song which has been sung by the band. This is "Angel Gabriel" "Great Camp Meeting in the Promised Land" "Who Broke the Lock On the Hen House Door?" and "Greep On the Hen House Door," and set it up. Rans Present Shows Raps Present "No, the stage today are notary, compared to those of years ago," this old-timer reminiscently, "I seldom to the theatre because I know I'm going to be a singer in the Nightlinees, the girl singers with our minstrel show and when I compare them with the girls of the stage today the latter show by the comparison, we have about that not saying much."

There is a sufficiently large Negro population in New England to work with it. We have a dedicated dedication on the part of the Negroes to become absorbed by the surrounding Nordic atmosphere and to be content with what is provided for them, especially in the independence and to create and work on their own plans some of the time. In Flushing I was arrested by a modest audience but one apparently came to me to do to spread the gospel of good music. Late in the evening I set out for Hartford. But I was well repaid for having met with an enthusiastic musical reception in Union Baptist Church the next evening, but I made the acquaintance of a fine little musician, with an enthusiastic musical reception in Union Baptist Church the very top among the coming generation of Negro musical leaders.arner Lawson. By way of introduction, I met with the Lawson, who for many years has been turning out.

At noon next day, I enjoyed lunch at the Lawson's and after exchanging few vocal renditions with Mrs Lawson, I started back for Philadelphia. The next night brought me to Camden. When music is lagging in the past few years, it is progressing. What a difference musically, has came to Camden in the past few years! What crudе sings they used to have!

LICHTMAN DICKERING FOR 3 MORE CAPITAL THEATRES REGENT National And Municipal Authorities Deny Her Right To Appear On The Stage PERFORMANCE NUDE Theatre Managers Offer To Clothe "Countess" Josephine Baker, idol of French night life, who recently closed a Paris engagement, has been denied permission by the national and municipal governments to appear on the stage in Budapest. Hungary, giving as their reason the fact that they deemed her performances too risque. This ban is but the culmination of a war waged by Southern European countries against foreign motion picture films and stage performers. Mile Mistakes, the other artist to fall under the ban and though no specific reasons were given for barring these stresses, it is reliably understood that the police come because the proposed performers were to be or semi-mute. During 1926 Hungary prohibited jazz to protect home talent but placed a heavier ban upon vaudeville than upon the legitimate stage. Even after theatre managers offered to cover the performers in accordance with police regulations, government authority ultimately still refused to allow the shows to be staged, saying under normal conditions the performers would be admitted but stating that at this time the foreign quota has been already overtaxed. Tourists in France, who visited the Moulin Rouge, the Folles Bergere and Josephine's own Montmartre cabaret, thus believed that the wearing nothing at all, and at other times wearing only a string of beads and a bunch of bananas. Styled the Countess de Albertini she married to Count Pepito de Albertini was announced last June, announcing then that she never intended to return to Paris, where she last appeared in Baltimore in Sissie and Blake's "In Bamville" company. "Seventh Heaven" To Play Regent Soon Based on John Golden's great stage success "Seventh Heaven", starring Janet Gaynor and Charles Farell, is booked and will come to the Regent Theatre soon. A worker in the Paris sewers, a teacher at a school, the principals in this shining romance and the story follows through from the depths of despair to the very "seventh heaven". The wistful and appealing beauty of Janet Gaynor as Daine, has won many hearts and she has brought to the role a deeply moving and new heights in this film of spiritual awakening. The picture was a riot on Broadway and has piled up additional prestige throughout the country in the past two years. The theme of the picture is world-wide in scope, and critics and the public alike have claimed of it as one of the most outstanding contributions to the cinema art. Scenes are laid in Paris and many scenes of the Paris underworld are shown.

Call VE rnon 6016 PASSING IN REVIEW PASSING IN REVIEW By WML GIBSON The Film Outlook Right now there is much discussion of the photoplay and its place in the theatre. Many houses have discourses as uaveville as such and have turned to the use only as an adjunct for the awe-inspiring productions of the silver sheet. Higher prices are being charged than were formerly charged for the ordinary run of stage shows. In line with these developments comes the word from the Colored Players' Film Corporation, announcing that 1928 is looked forward to as being a fertile year for Negro films. In 1929, there were films that have been produced and polite to the golden opportunities in this hitherto undeveloped field. Laying aside, for the moment, the question of financial outlay, such a program should meet the approval of the schools of race thinkers, those who know the consciousness looking upon it as an opportunity to show Negro actors in pictures dealing with various phases of Negro life, and the others looking upon it as an opportunity to get into subjects and deal with pure art alone. As said, the chief objective in this case, at least temporarily, is that of finances. To support a movement morally is all well and good but iron men must be forthcoming from someone. There seems to me to be another question involved, one which should be given much more than a casual consideration. Assuming that there are a plenty of good subjects and that there are directors capable of giving the question the question actors next comes up. And this is the serious question that I believe should not be passed. Because an actor has made a wonderful impression as a stage performer is no index to his ability to take well on the screen. Too many times, however, the fact that a person has appeared successfully on the screen, and then that it was due in selecting a cast, Desnitte the large sums of money spent on Al Johnson in a current photoplay, he did not appear to as great advantage as he did upon the stage. The film "What Price Glory" did not use the exact cast that appeared in stage sensation. There other things taken into consideration before the cast was selected. Being illly endowed with this world's goods and possessing charlets of infinitesimal dimensions, I am offering this suggestion as my bit toward the future of the Negro. In the future of the Negro may be small the spirit back of it is no pun thing. Let those who are more bountifully endowed beware, lest they tread on each others' toes in the rush. A producer and two actor friends are in a heated discussion the other day over the question of whether or not it was necessary to be 'in' the know in order to break into New York theatricals. New York, gentle reader, is used as in all other instances, as a standard, a criterion, if you please. But it may, the producer insisted that it is well nigh impossible good talent, but talent not nationally for a small show aggregation, with known, to get a hearing on the New York stage. He cited cases in which certain house managers insisted on providing the comedians and sometimes the chorus girls too before the 'let a show play their houses. He elaborated at length upon the practice of letting the size of a show exceed the quality determine its worth. To break into the show business, he said, it is essential that New York put its stamp of approval on an actor or a show, but that to get this approval one must be a member of a clique who possessed the power to 'make or break' and used it without discretion or mercy. And in this latter statement his actor friends concurred. Whether this is true or not no one person can say. If it is true it is a sorry commentary of the state of affairs on the capital of the Negro show in the same time is not limited to that one particular field but practically any other field one night name. It is the old, old, story of starting at the top and working your way up. What about the breaks, you say? If a show possesses merit and packs the customers in on the smaller circle, the larger houses are going to hear about it and become at least lukewarm. The hotter the show the hotter will these managers become. If they may not come as quickly as some producers might think it should, but merit will not down. Favored players may be featured for a while, but when they fail to deliver the show, they may not come back door and opens the front door for more deserving talent. The story has been told of the actor who lived for a while on his reputation, but who, believing reputation to be everything lay down on the job and woke up with a jolt to that there was no job there. That it is dismengling or smaller shows to see larger but more inefficient shows reaping a literal harvest is recognized. And it should also be said that the majority of these smaller shows are unqualified to change places with larger brothers and sisters. They always at the top for the bell ringer. Keep ringing, someone will come to the door and let you in. But you must ring hard and pick out a time when someone is at home. Going Abroad Several years ago the announcement that a Negro troupe was going 'abroad' caused no small flurry in the realm of actors and theatre-lovers. A distinction indeed was apparent. Opportunities were Nordic audiences of another continent. Phenomenal successes have attended a number of these show groups and obscure actors and actresses from the Dismal Swamp area have gone across the pond and their dancing and indigo bellowing. The pendulum swung in the direction of the foreign stage and the vogue for Negro shows set a precedent. It has thus become the 'thing-to-do' among some shows in influence of abroad and, complicately, they are so good 'abroad'. "See this dazzling production for the last time before it leaves for foreign shores," they warn, but so many of these advance notices of departure have proved blanks that the show lovers are becoming a little more aware of how to see these shows. Often the shows were little better than third raters. Today it seems that the pendulum in the foreign market is swinging away from the Negro show at the White House, and towards its popularity. On the other hand the straining-at-a-gnat idea of organizing troupes has resulted in the swallowing-a-camel habit of neglecting productions for the Afro-American audiences in America. Consequently, the audience will find themselves between the Scylla of home and the Charybdis of the foreign market. TEXANS TO HAVE PARK BEAUMONT.

Balto.'s Finest Orchestra 'FLO' MILLS SAVED DOWN AND OUTER 'FLO' MILLS SAVED DOWN AND OUTER Englishman Ready To Commit Suicide Gets Note From Late Actress BENEFIT IN PHILLY Association Has Been Incorporated In New York NEW YORK.—The Florence Mills' Memorial Association made public today a letter from an Englishman telling how 'Flo' Mills when abroad, saved the life of a "down and outer." The letter reads: I did not have the pleasure of meeting your esteemed wife, Florence Mills, but I do know of a wonderful act of kindness that I have witnessed one night on a seat of the Thames enbankment, resolved on ending his miserable existence in the river, when suddenly as it heaves sent a treasury note was placed in his pocket. This act of grace saved his life, it encouraged him to make good, and actually started him. Trade in the streets, and he was a man of great charm. After all, this was only one of the many beautiful acts of hers, in bringing joy to the hearts of destitute and miserable creature, and slums of London. I am a white but from residence of ten years in West, and forty years in South Africa, amongst colored inhabitants I have learned to adhere to the disqualification of color. Association The words of Mr. Bowler convey concisely a few of the ideals that inspired the organizing of the Florence Mills' Theatrical Association. Is it to be wondered that we are growing daily; receiving nation wide applause and volunteer aid; becoming interested and sprucing with activities? A special notice from Albany, N. Y. was published on December 23rd that a charter had been granted to the Florence Mills' Theatrical Association by Secretary of State Robert Moses. The next benefit will be at midnight on Thursday, January 5, 1928 at the Gibson Theatre, Broad and Lombard streets, in Philadelphia. On The Program A host of prominent show folks have promised to contribute to the success of the performance, some from the leading uptown theatres, and many from other cities. Among them are the musicians who teered their services are Ann Pennington, Eugene and Willie Howard, Tom Potricola, Charles Gilpin, Belle Baker, Jack Norworth and Dorothy Adelph, Hamtree Harrington and Cora Green, Ethel Waters, Eddie Dowling, William Waters, and the Four Honey Boys and Al Wohman and Company in addition to a host of others whose offers of help have been pouring in consistently.

It is cooperation that applies to those who are wise are cooperating and monopolizing; those who are otherwise are simply marking time and they cannot mark long. We all make mistakes in business. I remember when the Murray brothers and myself started to cooperate and control the theatre situation of this city but the time was not right not due to me get the support that I needed. I remember that I did have succeeded in our adventure. At one time we did control the Howard, the Dudley, the Dunbar, the Hiwatha, the Foraker and the Midcity, all of this city; but we were just a few years ahead of time and just do think time manager and sweet time manager are doing what we tried to do seven years ago. This only goes to show that sometimes we work too fast and sometimes we are too slow. It pays to take advantage of opportunities it possible. Now we only have to do that and sweet time manager for opportunities, but we cannot do this at all times and that is why the Duddev-Murray Theatre Corporation is not in control of a chain of theatres in Washington today. But it is a pleasure for me to write and then just to think about how I can do it. It takes a keen business man to make a success out of any kind of business of this day and time. You will have to follow the pas. As the old loke goes: IF YOU GO TOO FAST YOU WILL RUN OVER SOMETHING AND IF YOU RUN OVER YOU, but I am sure that the opportunity is here for COLORED PICTURES. Let us not overlook, this opportunity.

DEMOCRATS HOPE TO SPLIT RACE VOTE Al Smith, As Candidate, Expected To Carry N. Y., N. J., And Mass. CLEVELAND RECALLED Democrat Appointed Many To Federal Office BY HENRY F. ARNOLD With Al Smith as the candidate, the dominant wing of the democratic party not only exerted control over the coming election, but to carry New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts into the democratic forefront. May Solve Problem Outstanding white and colored leaders throughout the country see in the present political situation a solution of a most difficult phase of the race problem, the candidate, and the democratic south supporting him, there will be brought into intimate and working contact southern democrats and Negro leaders as has never been done. Another angle of the situation which wise leaders point out, is that with the votes split, the republicans have hitherto been lukewarm in their support of a progressive program so far as the race is concerned. The fact is, the potential power of the Negro in the next national election is being discussed by both democrats and rebelled on. The democratic party has been taking stock of the gains the party has made in the state, where Negroes have held and are holding appointments under democratic administration. It also has appointed a result of efforts to appoint the race group is voting the democratic ticket in large numbers and is coming to the conclusion that the time is ripe to make a bid for the racial democratic organizations of the Negro by appointing representatives of the group to Federal positions. Cites Precedent The main argument in favor of National recognition is based on precedent. Under Grover Cleveland it was pointed out that Negroes in the South had more opportunities than any other president since emancipation. If Governor Smith is made the nominee of the presidency it is likely that committee Ben Davis and Perry Howard will have no further trouble with Bly-witism in Georgia and Mississippi and Massachusetts to be the battle grounds for both barries and Negroes in these three states will have the opportunity to tie into parties into restoring to the trace all that has been lost, many leaders believe. At any rate, they say, the dawn of a new era will present party alignments will amount to little in the coming election. $600 In Armstrong Cator's Goods Lost Edward Thomas, 130 W.

Political channels to ease any disagreeable measures through the legislature, Ah, ah! They were far too wise for that, but they did it quietly, systematically, without giving any outward evidences of their inward intentions. They secretly renovated the old Maryland Theatre on Franklin street at whose back door we multi-hued Baltimoreums dumped hundreds of dollars weekly to climb a million stairs to their "Nigger Heaven", and moved the Kelie-Albee vaudeville, which we liked to see to the Garden Theatre which always hung out the door. Bee, birddressed up like orphans in the entertainment storm. All dressed up and no place to go. The Maryland hung onto the principle that all men are created partly equal longer than any of the lily white amusement emporiums and now it too, closes the door of galleries in our very faces and Baltimore is at last the place to go to folkos. Well, who wants to go to white theatres anyhow? You ask. Not being possessed with that hypocritical sort of race pride that would make me prefer ignorance and smut in our own theatre, theageman which is not a true feet and an unmentionable portions of the human anatomy, I break down and confess that I do. If swallowing my pride and sneaking to the buzzard roost will net me a new pun, wittiness or show me the latest winkle in presentation to somebody, whether white or black, or indifferent, spend sleepless night originating and if car come out of the room, spend sleepless night originating and if car come out of the mental nugget that I can sail away, why I just swallow great hints of pride and thank God for the privilege. In the final analysis white loiks are several hundred years ahead of us in most every line of endeavor, and what is a peanut gallery among friends if it gives us a chance to peep in on them and steal their thunder. Judge Ralph If I were given my choice to play with a tin can on my tail or a probation officer in the Juvenile Court, I don't think I would be a probation officer in the Juvenile Court. Not that it isn't a lovely position, pays a fairly good salary and is more or less permanent if you lived upright, but I am just too soft-hearted for that sort of thing. I don't think I would like they do to "judge" George Ralph. I would keep the court room flooded with tears. And to listen all day to fat policemen complaining about little dirty faced scars whom they arrested, would wug at my heart strings in a most uncomfortable fashion, and running around trying to find a pair of shoes for this kid and a coat or dress for that one, blindly and easily. Mr. Ralph got busy and soon had the Salvation Army on the trail. The Salvation Army helps first and investigates afterwards, he says. **Children A Nuisance** Speaking of children, the highly quoted bad boy of modern homosexuals, was in the "Florida Tennis Union." "A child is a nuisance more than anything else. It is an intruder. It separates the husband from his wife. A woman who cannot afford to engage a nurse must spend more than $100 to love him. A child doesn't want it around him very long." "A child doesn't bring happiness into the home. It is not instrumental in making its parents love each other any more. For the sake of the child, in some cases, husband and wife who might have separated did, if that is consequential. They might have had an awareness to关爱 their children and passed the impressionable age. Mr. Mencken may be wrong in many respects, but if you were thrown in contact daily with the pitiful cases that come up in the various courts, and see that it is invariably the rule that the people who have the largest families are the least able to provide for them, this important power solely to the physical side of man, instead of regulating it by the heart or better still, the mind. As it is, folks with millions and a longing for an aneer are childless, while those with nothing are delenged with hungry teeth to feed. This important power obligates and homes where contentment reigns are robbed of their rightful heritage by the absence of an infant's smile. Women wholly unfitted for the exacting duties of motherhood have children to neglect, while others possessing a maternal instinct are forced to lavish this heavenly gift on the offspring of neighbors and strangers. criticising nature's work, mind you, because I think it knows how to run its business just about as well as any of us down here below.

The more optimistic view of Maryland was coming into its own, was getting a coffee house. now they have a sign on the place where they sell their coffee. Sinkers and coffee are no longer vended over the wood counter, felt-covered tables that you can't always believe in signs. Notes On Restaurant Perhaps the most cruel indignity ever perpetrated on the fair name of a businessman is evidence in a new busier establishment in the Northwest section. Why one employment office has cramped its quarters, making two business offices named a restaurant at the same address. When a fellow is down and almost out and hunting for a job, who would have the edge of success with the odds of succulent ham flanked by eggs and potatoes? When he has not met a payroll for a month and has a wife who nags him for more money, he upon more fortunate brothers revelling in Chesapeake Bay spots fried in pure lard? And the whole thing wrong. Some day a wise and big-hearted philanthropist may open a place that will feed jobless men free of charge, but having a restaurant in the city would work on until a realy hungry and penniless bird comes for a job. Notes On Christmas Trees The business man (temporary one) who bought too large a stock of Christmas trees is the most theoretic holiday figures. Throughout the Northwest section one sees the cedars, hemikinds and other evergreen unused and rapidly turning trees. Nobody objects to turkey hash or even plain left over turkey. Fruit cake is just as good ten days later. Christmas trees save for next year. Extra trees seem to be a drudge on the market.

Henry Fought In Three Revolutions And Helped Repulse 10th Cav. LEFT MORGAN COLLEGE Overthrew Diaz And Fought With Carranza And Villa A former lieutenant-colonel in the Mexican Army, who fought in three revolutions, commanded firing squads, strung up illiterate soldiers, spared a pastime and led one of the units that nearly annihilated the Tenth Calvary at the battle of Carrizal, is now engaged in the pastime of ladies' and gents' hair at White's Barbershop on Madison avenue. This adventuresome young man is a member of the Methodist preacher and is known as "Mexico," "Texas," "Geser," "Colonel" and a thousand other non-computers, and a thousand other josephine. His father was Rev. Joseph Henry, one of the pioneer members of the Washington Conference and his brother is the Rev. Henry Yankers, N. Y. Church, Yorkers N. Y. Lett Morgan College Henry College Morgan College College which was then located on Edmondson avenue and journeyed across the border into Mexico in 1910. Some trick of fate threw him into the Mexican city of Carranza, where he was forced to make things hot for all concerned. Henry had served under Villa but at the time of the split he was in the sector under the command of Carranza who remained throughout the campaign. Following the invasion of Vera Cruz he took part in the persecution of American whites upon whom he had been held at this time. He took a special pleasure in his hanging assignments, he stated, as he recalled the lynching of innocent Negroes in the South. He was in command of one of the Carranza units when the Tenth Calvary in pursuit of Villa penetrated further into Mexico than the government had agreed upon, and the forces of the former chief were ordered to repulse the Americans. After the battle, Henry declares, he aided many of the colored boys to safety. At the battle of Zacatecas, a Carranza calvary company of which he was a member, charged a Villa artillery battle which had been bombarding them for hours. His horse was shot from under him and an enemy slashed him with his sword as he lay on the ground. He carries the scar across his forehead today. The soldier who inflicted the wound just lived a few moments afterwards. Overthrew Dictator Prior to these encounters, he took part in the revolution in which Maderos overthrew Portfero Diaz, who had been dictator for 35 years. Maderos remained in power for three years and was in turn overthrown by Felix Diaz, a nephew of the dictator. He later fought with Zapata Heinta and Carranza. He was made a lieutenant-colonel for unusual bravery in the battle of Life is too dull in the army when there is no revolution coming on, he declared, and smacks. When thines were quiet he spent his time drifting from Mexico City to Tampico and Guadalajara. When he declared, although the people are divided into three distinct classes of which the peons are the lowest, he told them in their places, he stated, they accept their state naturally and make no oort to mix with the middle class in return to Mexico in the spring and declares that he would rather be in Mexico broke them in the United States, unlimited furious from the army and can return at will.

J. - One of the bigs League champion race came last Monday night when the Capital Club of Asbury Park took the Carlisles of Washington into camp and hand- ed a little drubbing to the tune of 29-25. In a game so close and exciting that the referee had to wave the specific ball to stop the team that they would bring technical fouls against their team, the boys from the Nation's Capital pull- off first half to force the fighting in the last half. With three minutes to play they led the Capital Club by one point to Timponeg. The foal that tied the game in the last five seconds. Davis was the outstanding star of the night making no less than 5 out of 6 foul tries and six ringers from various positions on the floor. Timpson and Jones were the leading scorers for the Capital Club. Jones taking the lead in high point scorers of the league. Both teams were full of hope and the lows and the home boys were the first to draw blood a lawton, as usual. Bill caged two pretty ones in succession and the Jerseyites wrote that the Capital Club meant that the Capital Club meant to win the game or know the reason why. For the first time in a league game Joe Newman sent his own first team to split the substitutions to the side-lines. He substituted to suit himself. Joe played the part of the mastermind and did it nobly. The playing was so fast and furious that as fast as a man could, the other man was out of his hand. Play was too fast for the spectators and the resulting bedam of excitement there was a peppering in people. Fifth Capital Club forged into the lead, then Carlisle until the closing minutes found Carlisle with a one point lead. Timpson drew a personal foul from Petterson and saved it the same for his team by making good, just as the closing whistle sounded with the ball in the air. All Asbury Park wont wild with the shot and it was 3 minutes before the crowd could be hustled back of the playing floor. In the five minutes overtime Harris and Timpson shot the winning field goals.

Goldfield, Gans' Old Hotel Closed Two Years Now Gans: Who Died Poor Earned $300,000 With His Fists Gone is the glamour and blaze crowds that used to make Goldfield Hotel the "Flaming Yukon" of Baltimore. Today the hotel that was built by Joe Gans, late lightweight champion of the world sports vacant, dirty, dark and dingy. Even the houses surrounding people in the neighborhood have changed. Goldfield Hotel today is just a memory of what Baltimore was year ago. It is signaled by Gans' bought with money earned from his fight with Nelson at Goldfield, Nev. Just one block up the street from the Goldfield stands the old bar of Gans, the most famous character in East Baltimore during the reign of Gans' hotel. Robinson was the only one of the most familiar like Gans, had his individual crowd that patronized him. He died about six years ago, also his son, and lives a daughter. Miss Lillian Robbins teaches school at Spartan Point. Gans' widow kept the hotel for a year and sold it to "Booty" Anderson and M. Washington of Washington and Washington both died suddenly and the latter's wife after keeping the place closed for several years leased it to George Washington. The hotel has been closed now for two years. Fourth of the last survivors of the Gans' crowd told an AFRO reporter last Friday that the Goldfield section seemed apparently like a new city. All the oldimmers have died in the section all in the section now are newcomers. He recalled when the crowds white and colored used to flow to the street because of his presence like Gans, had his individual crowd that patronized him. He died about six years ago, also his son, and lives a daughter. Miss Lillian Robbins teaches school at Spartan Point. Many of the people who lived in that section during the Gans moved up in Northwest Baltimore. The Goldfield was built in 1910 by Jozsef Moser. He left the building on the ground opening in his death Mrs. Mara Gans and her sister. Miss Ida Davis ran the booth. Eubie Blake Dubie Blake, one of the most well known actors on the American stage today got his start as a piano player for Gans. Blake at that time was a pianist, but now he is now at Bailey's Hotel in McCulloch Street was the drummer and among the entertainers were Miss Vergle Stafford, now of New York. Miss Elia Stafford, now of New York. Miss Mary Stafford-of Atlantic City and a girl called "Little Teddy." Among the oltimers who were seen frequently "at the Goldfield were: "A" Keys, Daniel Simms, George Schley, Horace Cummins, James Myers, Ned Eddi Myers, Benjamin Smith, Bickel Myers, "A" Washington, Oddie Anderson. inelastic) Broadway, Dorchester County, April 23 Baltimore, Time, 7-3 seconds.

The place been closed now for about two years. "Ben" Smith, one of the last survivors of the Gans' crowd told an ARO reporter last Friday that the crowds had like a new city. All the oldtimers have either died out or left the city. Nearly all in the section now are newcomers. He recalled when the crowds, in the early morning, hotel, the inflow beginning around 9 or 10 p. m. and lasting until daylight. Those were what he called the "good old days." Many of the people who lived in that section during the Gans moved up in Northwest Baltimore. Mrs. Anna Thomas, a resident in Mullinik street, not so far from the Baltimore and at one time worked at the hotel. She is quite an elderly woman now but recalls vividly the people she had moved upward and that section had been taken over by underworld crafters, apaches, crooks and others with the necessity ability and personality is responsible for the hotel being closed today, said Mrs. Thomas. "Not since I was a child, I have there been anyone managing the place who was capable or knew how to be sociable to the patrons."

Met All Comers In his period of usefulness with the champions of them all, he meet all conners in own and kindred classes disposed of his matches with ease. A few days before announcing his retirement from the ring Gans made a statement: "In lecture moments I have figured my earnings. They ran above the average. I began to manage my own fighting game. Since then I have earned about $100,000. I date this from the time I fought with the Sullivan. I won by Rie Wimpey." "The first big winning in this time was the win by Nelson, who later beat me. In this receipts were the largest ever taken on a fight. He got $11,000 the gate in on a fight.

JOE GANS FOUND RICKARD IN SLUMS Promoter Who Says Godfrey Is "Worst Fighter" Started At Goldfield With Gans SLEPT WITH JOHNSON Heavyweight Boxing Promoters Bunch Of Gamblers CHESTER. Pa.-Stating that he has no reason to squeal about George Godfrey being a second rater and not a contender for the heaviest crown, Jim Dougherty, manager of the big menace, said Saturday that Tex Riekard, promoter, who is rai- ing all the fuss, earned his first bill through Joe Gans, at Goldfield, New, years ago. "Tex Rickard is quoted as saving That Godfrey will not be considered as a heavyweight contender Turner would not fight a colored man be the last one in the world to make such a statement. He was picked up out of the shins in Goldfield, Ne- cissippi, to fight fighters. Joe Gans earned for him a place in the boxing game. Again, Jack Sutten, a womann colored man of Pitts- sauga, tells me that when Rickard came to Johnson thou he ate, drank and slept in bed with Johnson in his home. He is trying to inture and denive Godfrey from his just dues came to Johnson that same race. He put Tex Rickard in the game and made him famous and they are going to drive him out of the boxing game, because public Godfrey because he is going to rally around good man and an American son. "Handled By Gamblers" "The boxing game, as far as the boxing vision is concerned, is in the worst case the history of sports. It is handled by a lot of professional gamblers. he record is clean. He doesn't have a record to the tournament. Where does Rickey have the authority to eliminate Godfrey? He never asked Godfrey to be entered in that tournament because several of the principal men, their managers themselves that their men had no chance with Godfrey when matches were offered them in other matches. "Rickard should be glad to enter Godfrey if he thought anybody could like him. He told Joe Woodman that the other day. When he asked him if the he 'laugh' Hansen the Godfrey he wanted to fight him and Hansen yes, he said: If I were sure of that I would give you the twentieth of January in the Garden. As far as he concerned, if 'doesn't amount to anything' Bill Tate And Cecil Harris, Heavies, Suspended CHICAGO—The Illinois Boxing Commission suspended indefinitely Bill Tate and Cecil Harris, heavyweights, here Tuesday, and their licenses were revoked, and they were sent to court of their purse for stalling and defrauding to become warlike in their match here last Tuesday night.

GODFREY AND MCVEY COLOR LINE VICTIMS GODFREY AND MCVEY COLOR LINE VICTIMS Paddy Mullins, Manager Of Wills Between Jack And The Middleweight Crown JACK JOHNSON RECALL'D BY E.D. HUGHES BROOKLYN- JACK McVey, a Harlem boy in the middleweight championship class, and George Godrey, who has been burning 'em up in the heavyweight class have struck the "color line" issue as several of the estimable white bruisers have refused to meet them. Courtney recently had a forfeit signifying his willingness to engage anyone in order to detain him. Jack Kearn's Toy Bulldog, Mickey Walker. However, when it became patent that he would have to meet Jack McVey, Paddy Mullins withdrew the box and the collar removed that week. Mistah McVey looked too tough, and so the Courtney-Mullins combination decided to dodge the issue. If possible, Mullins Should Be Last To Draw Mullins yells something about a "color line" being drawn, inning possibly, the teaming up and running he to fraternize with the ebony-hued gent. That is indeed funny. Mullins, who spent wholesome part of his career at Harvard Wills the "Black Panther," should be the last one to each a "color line" for Courtney. That is, if he was sincerely a Wills. As for Courtney, his position with regard to McVey is just as untenable as that of his manager. Mullins Courtney was of color in the past, when he was less known and naturally less particular. Courtney's whisky style of batting and batting and his ring course have made him one of the best liked scrapers of the moment. Until McVey appeared to pick opponents, his dodging of the black boy, therefore, is sure to tarnish his reputation as a two-gun terror who feared no one. Commission Should Force Courtney Discourse Of McVey McVey is no false alarm. He's a scraper of parts himself, fully as well as the Oklahoma cowboy. The question is whether he is not more entitled to it than George. He does not overwhelming desire to straighten out this problem, so it naturally gravitates to the Boxing Commission to set the matter over. These gentlemen should see to it that Courtney disposes of the colored cloth there is talk of a match with Walker. It Is So Much "Color" As It Is Capability. It is interesting to note that the "colored cloth" only when the individual can really fight. The Ethiopian underlings of fistiana are not tormented by the color as of capability. John L. Sullivan couldn't see Peter-Jackson because Peter was a wonderful fighter and would probably have Jeffery bitted colored gents both before and after winning the title. He scrapped Bob Armstrong, Hairstylist. He knocked Pitz loose from the title, and he took another shot at Griffin after he had become the overlord of the fistic universe. But he later drew Jeffery back, spite the fact that he witnessed "L. Artha" knock out his brother, Jack. Jeff was in his prime then and should have been sleeper. He knocked him from the ring with "You next Jimi!" Jeff side-stepped Johnson until he was too old to do much. He tolerated of his six years of retiring, and then taunted his bursar more than anything else. When Dempsey Got An Eyeful Of Wills Harry Wills got Jack Dempsey for almost seven years and Jack permitted the "Black Panther" to rot in his socks rather than fight him. Wills was also whipped in his old age, but he was a real fighter in his prime and don't mistake it. The former Dempsey in New York the night Mishah Wills cleaned up big Fred Fulner. Fulner had been "on his good behavior" then. He was fresh from a string of knockouts in England, and don't forget his moments when he could fight. Wills' Brute Strength Would Have Troubled Dempsey Wills's brute strength would be capable that night, I don't think Dempsey ever erased the picture of the huge black man caving in poor Fred's ribs of the truly horrific strength he possessed. Dempsey's plasterer to his content. Perhaps Dempsey's speed and punching power would have beaten Wills had they fought. Wills's tremendous brute strength and the unquestioned force of his hits made Dempsey think twice about meeting him. And probably one calculation was enough to conceive that he would have had plenty of another accounting for such as Harry. Godfrey Looks Like Another Victim Of "Color Line" The heavyweight mantle of the "Black Menace" once worn by Jackson, Johnson, Landrefer and Wills, is now drenched about the wide shoulders of the famous George Godfrey, The "Black Shadow of Liperville" built very much aloof the massive lines of Jack Johnson, is feline with the hobbies" off Godfrey, the "Black Shadow" heavyweight contenders of the so-called "logical" brand. He's knocking them all stiff, though that Godfrey will see us as far as did Wils in his course of the heavyweight purge. "Gentleman Gene" Tunney, who has introduced the social register to the general public, paid up membership of the "Color Line Club". To make matters worse for Mistah Godfrey, Tex Richard, whose monopoly of boxing talent permits his jonship principals is one of the charter members of the "Color Line Club". Many Believe Godfrey Could Clean Up Whole Heavy Division No Whole Heavy Division Needs to be a slight racial disturbance when Jack Johnson chastised Mr. Jim Jeffries. Different people.

C.—With horse shoes strapped to their hips and rabbit feet dangling from their chests, Conway's Carabas, D. C.'s able representatives in the Eastern League of Associated Basketball Clubs, took a mediocre league game from the highly touted Vandals Wednesday night. The long ride from Atlantic City to New York was the spark and first that characterized them in their former encounters. Baskerville was the only player that evinced the slightest bit of petition, and were lissless. Therein the story. After the first ten minutes of that it became a matter of how big the stars were, the jaws and his side-kick, Slim Henderson, the luminaries in firmment of dullities. The eligibility of the stars was questioned by Trusscar was held up until Cecil produced the membership cards for both players. A. F. Jackson, president of the Association, was present and the station cleared up with despatch. At the half-time the score 13-9 in favor of Carlisle. In the session, the luck pieces that the local team had to work with the Wandals' defense shots of all description; figured in the visitors' downfall.

According to Coach A. P. Hamlin the "Yellow jackets" will meet Howard, Morgan, Bluedefield, Springfield Aces and Wilberforce among the ten opponents scheduled at the state star, and coach of the backfield on the football eleven, will assist with the court team. The coach says: Out Three Weeks "We have been practicing about three weeks and are gradually improving and it looks as though we would be able to make a creditable showing although I do not expect to have any whirling in the air. We have almost an entirely new team. Early, formerly of Lincoln High School, of Wheeling, and Free, of Bluefield, are the only letter men in school but we have some boys out of high school last year who are working very well. We'd like to thank you." "Giles, of Simmons High, of Montgomery, is showing up well at guard on the first squad and is both defensively and offensively good. He was a standout last year at the tournament held here Shannon, of Lincoln High School was a substitute on the team two years ago and will probably be the best player in the team. Redd, also a substitute on the team with Shannon, will probably be the other forward and is a fair floor man. Early being the best point guard he will At Center "Wade, a tally boy from Charlotteville, N. C., is showing up at center and will probably be a point guard. He is a better all round basketball player than is Freo, who gave his letter two years ago. Sandidge, all-state guard from Washington High School of London, is showing up offensively and will probably find a place in the lineup at times. "Woods, also an all-state guard last year, is well a well of the second team, Berry, a teammate of Woods, and Patterson, of Unionton. Pa. are showing up well as second stars for the games. Mason, also a substitute of two years ago, is also showing up well at center on the second team and looks fair at present and will be a second choice for the pivot position. "Nash Out "Nash guard out of the football team this year, is also out and may show up well before the season is far along. He is fast and shifty and handles the ball well but he doesn't. During the holidays are not having practice for the squad but five of the men are working out in the gym daily. "The revival of basketball in the school after a year's lay-off has increased the interest in the sport and we expect a more history within the team."

After putting the game on lee in the first half, the Athenian basketball tossers sent in their teammates to acquaint themselves in the kappa style, winning from the Kappa Alpha Pi fraternity quint of the New Albert Friday night. The locals, who refused to allow Wheatley of Morgan, to play during the first half, allowed him in the game during the second half when he was knocked out by Whittington, Lincoln forward, made the first score of the game during the first two minutes of play. For about four minutes after that the ball was in the basket and the floor and neither team was able to score due to the close guarding. Lewis Gets Away Lewis of the Athenians evened the wickets and slipped away beneath the basket and slipped a moment later repeated with a beautiful overhand shot looped white sizzling across the court. Lincoln and the ball shot up, and down the floor with bewildering rapidity. Hackett Follows Rufus Hackett. Greek tip-off man, not to be outdone by his teammate, not to be outdone by one from the vicinity of the foul line. The Irish defense here became practically airlift and the ball was kept the local's possession. From deep in coin territory, Johnny Lewis grabbed the ball and dribbling the entire field, and the team escaped to drop one in, one of the greatest baskets made during the game. "Dick" Whittington The second Lincoln score came when Whittington shot one standing almost under the basket, making four points for the Lion team, and incidentally the only points made by them during the quarter. Veney, who injured his knee in an ugly spill, was replaced by Lawson who acquitted himself in great order. "Chink" Wyatt, diminutive Greek marksman, who in previous games had led the scoring column, was a little off form and was replaced by Ailor who gun-ned away for four baskets during the game. Hackett, emulating Johnny Lewis, garnered a neat field goal after a long dribble. The half ended with the score 16 to 4 in favor of the Athenians. Of two free throws Lincoln missed both and the Athenians made good one out of three. Wheatley Gets In With the Injury of Don Wyatt, Lincoln ace. Wheatley was allowed to go in and he seemed to add some snap to his teammates' work. The tall boy broke up some nice passes by his leaps into the air. Good team work in working the ball all down in scoring distance was ruined by the Lincoln forwards who missed several set-up chances. Ailor started some Athenian fireworks and soon had Hackett and Lawson limiting his lead. Subs Do Well Later Whittleton got another and Spencer and Harmon were able to eke out one field goal each. Lincoln scored two goals and the Athelmus made good two. Passing was swift on the part of the locals and they frequently scored in the fans. Near the close of the game Bishon, Jones, Greer, Sharp, and young Sheffey were sent in and Lincoln quint from running in a score. Hatchett High Man Puffus Hackett, lankv Athenian center led the scoring with five field goals and one free throw for a total of 14 points, followed by Lewis with 10 and Allor with 8 points. Whittington scored three field goals for the frat quint. In the game, Hackett scored three defensive Palace Aces. 24-22.

Creamulsion is a new medical discovery with two action factors: it soothes and heals membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent cough and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creamulation contains, in addition to creosote, other ingredients that help the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the growth of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creamulation is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu.

Passion's Price A Serial by LOUISE CAMPER ```markdown ``` Page Sixteen WHAT HAS HAPPENED Dick Lee, a Baltimore youth, receives a late day job as a nurse who is being orphaned in Chicago by the death of her father, Jim Scala. Scala was shot to death by a dying man who bore him. Dick finally convinced that the girl is an illegitimate child of his mother's, sends for her to make an effort to reunite him with an extraordinarily beautiful, slang, a habit of Chicago's dance hall, cabaret, and gambling dens. That lullness that Luana has been snapped into a life of passion with Joe Lischerin, white, of Italian parentage. He determines to try to save Luana from such a life that she is to live and live the affair with Lischerin. CHAPTER IV Six months later the blow fell upon Dick Lee. He stumbled upon an appalling truth, a sinister fact that hurt more than any lie could have hurt him. He suddenly, undreamed of; it found him unquared and left him bewildered and sick. Strange, too, it came just as he had drifted into peace and contentment—or maybe not so strange after all, for usually life hands out the wrong end of the story. Six months had been long enough for Dick Lee to understand Luana, or at least to think he understood her. He became "used to her ways." He no longer marveled when she smeared stuff around her eyes to make them seem redder than they ought to be. This misrepresentation of herself seemed to Dick an unnecessary imposition upon the public, but then she seemed very well pleased with the results. He no longer rebuked her when she lightened her cigarette and smoked along with him as they read in the living room after meals; in fact, he came to rather like the companionship of her death than the companionship of he would have confessed to her. He ceased to squirm when she broke all the rules of postures becoming to young ladies. He was the presence of his boy friends. She liked to throw herself deep back in his easy chair, press the button until she reclined at a most restful angle, and then lace. He was comfortable, comfortable, comfortable, comfortable, attitude no doubt, but quite revealing. At first, it worried Dick almost as much as it pleased his hals to see her sitting thus, but as has been said before, he became used to the Liana that she really should sit up straight with one foot six inches in front of other when she would rather lie back and cross her legs. Then in Liana Lee, as in all women, all her nices were neutralized by virtues. Having all the earmarks of a butterfly, she possessed all the energy of a born housekeeper. The amusement of the street became a crouch in the little house in Vine street. Crisp shadows shaded its windows, fresh paint, brightened its nooks and corners, glasses gleamed in its cupboards. Living things glanced at the porch of a flamboyant geranium on the kitchen window sill, a quarrelsome parrot in a bronze cage by the living room window and right beside it a pair of gorgeous Japanese fantails swimming A sweet place. Dick Lee thought, a place he loved to be. No wonder! What man doesn't love a girl he a new woman? Furthermore, to his great surprise, and to her also, Luana was usually home. He had expected her to spend her time in the street, where waiting for him, although she had a vague air of wishing herself elsewhere, and not knowing just where to go. The truth was that as far as Baltimore was concerned, Luana was just not interested. Dick had introduced her to Baltimore, and to Baltimore's impressions, the introductions were gracefully copied and there the matter ended. There were moments. Dick could not quite fathom the trouble. They had come down the bay on Saturday afternoons on Puritans' and, Luana, with big gold hoops in her ears and a red shirt, danced the duck suit, was a most entraining sailor less. His friends the male continent, had taken one look at her wearing a wig. Those whom she favored, she danced with with a cuddly kind of a motion that left them very pleasantly shocked. Those whom she didn't like, she wouldn't dance with at all, turned them down with a curtse smile. The girls--ah, there was the trouble--the girls of Dick's set didn't mix at all or if they came into contact with each other. Unusable. They acknowledged their introductions to the strange Miss Lee as hurriedly as possible, led their special friends, as far from the vicinity as they conceived, in little groups and gave her the three ever. They all agreed on some points; she was too upstage, she thought herself something because she came in, she thought she came in, the way she looked right through a person with those big eyes and didn't seem to see you, and the most irritating way she had of curling her lips. Scornful, that's what it was. So they all concluded that it was best to let this girl from Chicago alone. Not one of them said that she was being careful, not that perhaps she might steal away her own particular friend, oh, no. indeed. But they all thought that Luana was much more mote to Chicago than Baltimore, and they all gave her a sort of boy- Dick saw through their fears well enough and was first a little ached, then later, amused by the way he felt well enough to have Luna to himself. Very well pleased, he was, and mighty contented. Never more contented had he felt than this Sunday morning he and gave up the idea of going to church. Instead he gave himself over to playing on his airs on his airs of a most christian-like nature. He always used to play the guitar, and gave up the idea of knowing any hymns and complained that they sounded too murmurful anyway. So Dick played what pleased her. He very latest songs out, and smiled as she watched him play. When would Martha Lee do if she could have seen her children then, he wondered. He had brought his violin out to the kitchen and sat in the chair by the window, jazzy and lazzy, whistling under her breath. Heathenish, perhaps, but very pleasant, thought Dick. And then the bell rang and with its appeal All Dick's Dick put his violin down carefully, it was a good one, then went to answer the ring. The bearer of his bad tidings turned out to be a man of his acquaintance an employee of the post, a summer'summer'special while still a substitute. "What d'you say. Dick. he crested Dick as he gotta tell. "Gotta letter for this address. This right." Dick took the letter "Yos, that's for my sister," said Dick and reached for the book to sigh. Business being over, this Mercury leaned his tie over the book and handed himself with his hat and asked sociably. "Well, Dick, what do you know?" That started the conversation and for twenty minutes they laughed and joked off other things in finals. Dick and the other officiated specials and Dick went back to give his sister her letter. She received it joyously exclaiming. "It did! It didn't come a minute too soon." Luana Tore tore open the envelope and naked an exploratory finger between the folded sheets. She fished out a folded blue paper and held it up. It was a check, that much was obvious, and Luana laughed like a delicately child as she read its future. The letter that accompanied it crumpled it and tossing it into trash box. But the blue check she folded carefully and stuffed it into her garter too. She asked Dick absently, as he tuned his viol delicately. "From your lawyers, I suppose?" "Why, no, answered Luana. "Didn't you hear that I was asked Dick absently? Not even a penny. He had just been nicked for a huge sum, something like ten thousand dollars Call VE rnon 6016 that very afternoon. A merchant down Stave Street, name is Goldstein, won on a foul play parley at Tia Juana. He cleaned Daddy out and left him with nothing. Now Dick was not of an inquisitive nature, but the thought naturally occurred to him that if the check was not from Scala's estate, then from whom could it be? He faddled about a bit on his violin trying to find just the proper words to frame the question. Luana saved him the trouble. “I guess you may as well know now,” she announced somewhat hastily, although her voice was as collected as ever and absolutely free from embarrassment. “That came from Joe—Joe Liebertini.” Dick wheeled about sharply, puzzled. He did not understand this development, but he had a distinct sense of foreboding of disaster as though something precious was about to be smashed to pieces. "And who is this Joe," he asked as steadily as he could. "Why. he just Joe," replied Luana. "He's my sister." She found. Now that the question was put squarely to her she hardly knew how to define Joe Liebertin's status. "What did he finish later?" "Friend!" roared Dick Lee. "What kind of a friend do you call that?" He felt hot all over and everything in the kitchen took on a bloody, but still he kept a grip on himself. "Keep calm, keep cool," he told his rioting nervous. "Do what I can, give way to anger now." So Dick kept perfectly silent. He put his violin away in its case, slipped the tiny violin into the case, and waved it in its case. Gathered the sheep music up carried them in it to the living room, put each in Then he went back to the kitchen. Looked very steadily at Liana and said, in a voice not too loud, "I'll go." "Tell me this. Is this 'friend' a man who has reason to think that you will use his money?" For a minute Luana felt like laughing. The idea of *Luana's thinking* that she would use his change was funny. He clenched his fists, about it. He didn't have to, it something in Dick's look chilled the laugh, and killed it. She dropped her eyes from his and looked away. Shifted her gaze to the looked on the shelves, at the flushed amber tea set that looked so cool and inviting on its sea green tray, looked at the blocked tile pattern of the new inlobed table, looked anywhere but in Dick's scorning eyes. "I guess that about it," she murmured at last. Once, when Dick played football on the fenced field, he had been laid low by a blow in the stomach. Not only that, but the whole sophomore team had run over him, with their crested shoe kicking in his prostate body and unprotected face. He felt then to the point of mousse, Bewildered and helpless. This, then, was the fruit of his mother's sin. This was what living with Jim Scalia was doing, and she had helped her into. For Dick Lee knew well that if Luana had been reared by Martha Lee she would never have to confess to the age of seventeen, and she had helped her man had ruined her, heres her of everything that makes women worth man's adoration. A red rage flooded over Dick again. He turned into a murderous avenger. He grasped Luana's "Who is he? Tell me. I'll-I'll-kill him. Who is he?" he cried. "Why, I told you who he is." said Luana. "His name's Joe-Joe Liebertian." names' Job—Joe Bee 'been' "Libertian," ecked Dick. "Why, that's a sunny day." colored, man. lunched in a collar. "But he wasn't not colored." Luana corrected him. "He's white." "White!" exclaimed Dick in a voice that was near a scream. "My God!" And with that he collapsed in a chair, speechless, and with the blank, dead look of one who has been twice blown. "For heaven's sake, what's the matter with you," Luana inquired. "Are you sick?" This brought Dick back to earth. He sat up and stared at the girl as though he saw her for the first time. "Do you mean to tell me that you don't know that what you are doing is wrong." "What's wrong about it?" countered Liana. What's wrong about it?" cried Dick. "Every thing's wrong about it. You've made an outcast of yourself, sold yourself to some man, and worst of all, to a white man." Liana said. He's a good guy. Absolutely first class. And has plenty of money, too. Plenty girls would be glad to have him." She rattled on, unconscious of the horrified look that had settled on Dick's features. She explained, "Just look at the thins he's given me. Almost all of my clothes, and those diamond earrings. Dick brushes across her recital with a groan. "Stop for God's sake, stop," he moaned. "I can't bear it." He says the matter now?" asked Luana blondly. It was then that Dick realized what he was up against. That Dick was an opponent of war, that she was ignorant of any moral training, that she was uneducated in all the lore that a girl stands most in need of. His anger began to wash away in a tide of sympathy and pity. "Has no one ever talked with you about such matters?" he asked. "Didn't your father or his wife?" "Oldest wife?" Liana curled her lins up into a disillustrial grimace. "She's everybody's wife. Another thing, all she cared about was snow." "What?" Luana pressed her thumb against her forefinger, hold it under her nose and made a motion of sniffing. "Cocaine," she said. "You're so weakly. Then he asked. How long has this gone on—this affair between you and Lobertini?" "Long time," Luana informed him. "But you're only seventeen now, said Dick. Almost eleven." Luana amended. "But I've known him since I was about fourteen or fifteen, I guess." "Fifteen years old!" repeated Dick. "Yes, because it was in my first year at high school that I met him. His father kent a fruit and candy store (he's Italian, you see) and we bought it. He was a teacher. I met Lie. Then he used to give us things from the store. Chocolates and apples and fruits. Then he began to give me, not any of the other girls. And somehow we got more and more frisflies. I see," said Dick so quietly and with such finally that Luana ceased her explanations and went back to her work of making the salad. "Why don't you marry," asked Dick, at length. Luana looked around in surprise. "Get married!" she exclaimed. "Why, I never thought of that." Dick regarded her thoughtfully. Fir one minute he wished that she had been born widely. He wished that her skin had been well and was a good one. The white of the gene, and from her black hair; he wished that the fine haughtiness of Scala's features had not merged with the soft sweetness of his mother's countenance into such startling brown-eyed red-lippish呼救声. He was veryلىك, and in their�s of virtue would have remained in her clean body. Virtue, what was it? Martha Lee had told her boys that it was above all price. That it brought a happiness all its own, and that no earthly gain could be made. But what was it? The Martha Lee must have known what she was talking about, she had shimmered in the golden light of virtue and had agonized at its loss. Concerning the practicability of her teachings, however, Dick was doubtful. Cutie's work was outlined his first offenses against chastity and a happier, more carrefour soul than Cutie Lee could not be found. Now there was Luana calmly stuffing tomatoes with a golden filling as unconcerningly as though a good one had been made a discovery that completely would not over. But Martha Lee was not of these. Her lapses had tormented her on her deathbed. Suddenly a rage took hold of Dick. It wasn't fair that his son was a man who could be soو. Luana maintained an whole innuity of injustice and Standards were double, not according to sex. The College Snobs College Fraternities Split The Campus Into Factions—Draw. A Secondary Color Line—Are Social Organizations Only—Fail To Establish Brotherhood Ideals. To the Editor: Your editorial in last week's issue on college fraternities so impressed me that I am sending in this reply for which I trust you will find room in your journal. The College Fraternities Recently has there been so much discussion pro and con on the college "frat" in the press in general that the average reader cannot be sure of the status and worth in college life. The varied views are the sentiments first of men within the frat who usually boast them to be in and knock them; and lastly, from those who perchance have never seen a college or read a word of Greek but who are arrived from college from another country. Contrary to the opinion as stated in your editorial last week, a college frat cannot be judged by the published program of its alumni, but they may choose to call it. Be is said in the outset that the man is the individual unit of the "frat" and there aresome good ones in all of them, but more who are models for no mother's Purely Social Regardless of the national programs set forth by any of them whether it be "Go-to-School and College", "Bigger and Better Negro Business", "Clean Sweep Week", or what no, and regardless of their claims of being a religious, political athlete or occult, they will not be collected from is and always will be, first, and preeminently a social organization. Annual Meetings I will grant you that the annual meetings are no more than "back-slapping, self-communicating" gatherings and the social interactions that people have. Everyone knows this. They expect it. Why should a group of young college men from all parts of the nation meet to discuss Haiti, Africa or other international issues? They baffle the old and authorized heads of governments and defy solution? Better it were that the youngster solve the problems of his next semester's tuition or some other issue. Here the clubs such as prevail at Princeton and other fratless colleges which are local organizations have a decided advantage and may soothe or later replace the national fraternities there. Inflated Individuality But there is the human element, and an individual has his ego greatly inflated when he is finally admitted into the Mu Mu, a great organization with its chapters from the Pachyarthra of security when told that every other Mu Mu man is an ardent brother, who like Damon and Pythias, are inseparably bound by the unbreakable bonds of their fraternalty. The inside know it's all the bosh. Man's every attempt to establish an ideal brotherhood on a small basis has failed as miserably as the attempt of our Lord and Saviour to establish the brotherhood among all Destroyers Of Brotherhood They have proven themselves to be the greatest destroyst of brotherhood and unity on the campus today and tend to sniff it out. They have proven themselves to form a mere mosquito netting over a mass of miserable ignorance. They set up a class and group consciousness which is not only undesirable in a democratic society, but has been known to draw a 'secondary color line.' College Politics The part they play in college politics has been a deathblow to initiative and efficiency on the part of a student who happens to have a member of the student body with a large membership, or which swings the majority of votes. Some of the practices of initiation and of branding with red hot irons has not only been brutal but inhuman and wholly unnecessary and uncalled for. Frats have made "snobbs" of students who have nothing to be snobbish about and it is quite proper and even necessary now that one practically everyone save the dear brothers. Faculty Involved The faculty has not been exempted from the effects of the frat and while favoritism is sometimes shown by the professors, I think this item has been more aggratered and overplayed. Even in non-frat, the faculty we arrive at an angle of the problem which is so often overlooked. Were the facta ideal and perfect, we would be sufficient reason for my argument against them; for in him is always developed an "inferiority complex" and a constant humiliation which is next to tragic. Dean Cook of Howard once remarked, "The humiliation sin than the humiliation of a human soul." Co-eds Exaggerate The public in general and especially the coeds have greatly exaggerated the importance and significance of these organizations and one seldom inquires of one's anxiety the mani- sature of his filial status or religious faith, but always of his fraternal affiliations and from this arrivals at her conclusions. Several years ago I realized the fallacy of the whole situation and quickly pinned the following thesis: I have never been ce- cused of being a poet: How's the world to judge A man from a beast, A crook or chook From a saint or a priest? It has often been said Of the stranger one meets His character may be read In the company he keeps. Due nowadays we find The worst in the best. And it's useless to chime. "A man's known by his dress." Some judge by kinship But now most agree There's always some sap In the best family tree. Still there are others who confess After studying the signs That character is pressed In certain facial lines. So the theories have grown But the one dumbest jest Says a man may be known By the pin on his rest. "GENERAL O O HOWARD" but according to the consciences of the offenders. Luana recared Dibs for警告 alarm. She had quite comfortable. Sinners like to be laughed with, not worried over. She peeled at him through her long, shining lashes. She set his dinner before him. It was savory and tasty, flanked by colorful salad and amber tea. Dib punished away from the table, but Luana, being hungry, ate. "Listen, this has got to stop. Understand. You must never see him again. never take a gitt from him." Dick told her. Silane. "Understand me, Luana." "I'll never bring him here." she told him. That was the best he could get out of her. She would sell her son and a very checked eye seemed, but she would not lie. "Why must you see him?" cried Dick in des- "Because he'd probably kill me if I don't," replied Luana simply. "He's jealous as a devil, and he'd out of the kitchen and left her to eat in peace. Dick went to his room. He needed time and solitude to think this thing over. His future is the same as his past. Luana's Nature had moulded and tinted her into gorgeous perfection. then, had carelessly tossed her into an environment where the world was a high market value, where a pretty girl has as much chance as a shapely captive maiden on the slave stands of Rome. Dick went to his mother's picture and looked into her eyes, and those brooding eyes. "Mother, why didn't you keep your girl? Why didn't you face the world—and Dad—and keep your girl at your side?"

This is not a trick, but just a little experiment that will provide lots of fun as well as a good light. You simply put a piece of phosphorus about the size of a pear and place it in the boiling pot and pour the hot oil over the phosphorus, filling the bottle about one-third full. To avoid breaking the bottle with the hot oil be sure to thoroughly warm it by setting it in a pan of hot water. Cork the bottle and leave it until you need a light. Simply opening the bottle for a few minutes, allowing the fresh air to rush in, will fill the unoccupied space in the bottle with a continuous clear, luminous light. Now recoil the bottle tightly and you will see a colorful light for several days. The light begins to dim in more fresh air and records as before.

BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE Eye Beauty We may hide the defects of complexion and unattractive lips with rouge and powder, but the eyes must stand for themselves. They only arrest attention by their beauty or are neutral by their appearance. With age the eyes grow dim, unattractive and lusterless. A simple remedy to brighten and beautify them, is the old fashioned castor oil treatment. Massage the eyes gently with the oil, and lay absorbable cotton, well saturated with it. over them, and lie down an hour. This treatment, twice a month, will give your eyes new vigor, sparkle, and allure.

Woman's Viewpoint BY LILIAN LOTTIER Why Make New Year's Resolutions Yes, I know. You made them last year, I was smashed every one to smitherens. And you made them year before last, and these, too, were in smoke. And the year before that, told the same story. The one of throughout the long strong of the stretching back into the long spring. Discouraging, isn't it? Well, rather. But he's tell you of something even more discouraging of something which smacks of that, which is worse—hopelessness. If it is Not making New Year's Day, it is the most making of even the resolution to be just a week bit better in 1939 than you were in 1937. This is far, far worse, I assure you. You don't need to write a single thing down on paper. You don't need to have any great remembrance about the time you need to take the body else into your confidence. You don't need to own up to yourself what you doing; but it, as you enter upon this fresh, clean New Year, you don't make even the weakest, faintest, most tentative resolution to improve upon the year, there's something seriously wrong, my friend. Oh, yes, all of our "hard-bolled", highly-sophiisticated, ultra-modern friends will laugh derisively at what they call a foolish, hoary old custom. They will prove to you with impeccable logic, the truth of the world, and uselessness if it all, if it is not, you you to listen to them, polish them when they have gone and the nose of them, much speaking has died away, you quietly listen and give food to the logic of your own best self, the self which will always tell you that it is an error. FOOLISH OR USELESS TO TRY The person who tries and fails, and then tries and fails again, and even tries and fails to the day of his death ranks higher and gets far than the person who tries a while and then cuts. For the minute one stops trying to be better, one begins gradually, and insensibly to be worse, one starts slowly but surely on the downward path. On, you don't necessarily land in jail or anything like that. You may occupy a birth position in society, but that, eternal part of you which will last when earthly trappings have fallen away will be shrivelled and puny and plushable. You will be a whited sepucher full of the bones of dead ideals. You never can tell when you will rise to the height of keeping just one of the many resolutions you have made—and broken. Life is most surprising sort of a thing. Perhaps a chance word here or an unexpected for of inspiration there will suddenly do what it brings of previous effort have failed to accomplish. Then too, with every new attempt to make since——there will come a little more activity of will to do the things we would like to do. Or you will be a whited seputter that you have not expected to be in inspiration will do you any good. In addition to the evidence of an unimaginable desire to improve, there is something almost beneficial in the way you sell your business. You sell your business naturally be preceded by a certain amount of personal stock-taking. You look back over the past year and mentally separate the sheen of your business from the sheen of all the things you wish you had not done. You put your failures on one side of the screen and your achievements on the other side and see how far one outweighs the other. You see how much you have learned. It lets you see exactly where you are. If you a clear perspective on your progress in progress. It open your eyes and a new perspective on your business. It strange hold on the best of us at that. If you look yourself fairly and squarely in the mirror and shows you how much unsuccessful you are. Business men take stock every year. But after Christmas merchants begin taking account of the stock they have on hand. They look away from the stock they sell later at a fair price, and what is the end of at any price. They clear out the worn and defective, the things that are no longer in good goods for the future. So, don't hesitate to make a resolution of use this New Year. You may keep in a dark, cool secret cabinet which is absolutely out of sight during the season of the year, and that is the resolution NOT to make any resolutions. **JUNKET WITH CRANBERRY JELLY** Make a good firm cranberry jelly till the glasses half full.

Now I am the mother of a true companion and inspiration to me and a true companion and inspiration to my children.

Purchasing oils and other processes are conducted in the plant's laboratory. Perhaps the most striking detail of the work is the extraction of extracts, syrups and beverages. "The idea is."

After the syrups are prepared they are placed in tanks where they may be drawn to the machines as needed. Sugar used in the preparation of each day sometimes amounts to 200 pounds. The officers of the firm are Reginald A. Gardner, president; Allison Johnson, vice president; W. C. Lewis, secretary; and John H. Gibson, treasurer.

This Is The Synthetic Age, Says Matthews Old Prewar Institutions Have Been Diluted And The Labels Have Been Changed, Says Writer By RALPH MATTHEWS a goodly measure of sugar coated words and set the batch to be fern- The Yuletide season passed and gone, a prohibition torn nation beat its hip flasks in ploughshears, settles down to normalcy as its peace loving subjects return to their laborers and the children covered graves of those brave heroes who gave their lives that bootleggers might live. Bottle this concoction in a two-room flat and cork with a wedding ring. A month or two and the stuff is gone. Then Dan Cupid, master moonshiner of them all, gathers up his bottle of broth and pours new wine of affection into old bottles of disillusionment and defies the dry agents of lingering thought to raid the cellar of forgetfulness and drag out memories of the past due as evidence and spoil his brew. Earth is tranquil. No longer do we hear the rumblings of mighty caravans which moved under the cover of darkness rushing illicit supplies to the front line drenches. The night is no longer illuminated by flare and flash of exploding skills and the fierce love we do to don our gas skirts to keep from being suffocated by the deadly fumes from our neighbor's mash. Synthetic Age Synthetic age? Yes. We eat synthetic food, drink synthetic gin, engage in synthetice pleasures, dia a synthetic death, are buried with synthetic embalming fluid and yet men still repeat those immortal words, "life is real, life is earnest"—What fools these mortals be. No Dry Agents Land but let us pause and breathe a prayer for those little, gold sapphire mothers whose sons made us suffer in dry agents land and drop a sigh for the widows children, and sweethearts whose loved ones were lost in near beer saloons Faces 3 Charges After Collision With the horrors of the Yuletide just a memory, our boys marching home with wobbly tread, smiling behind their bandages that quiet the tears of their parents, the scars that are silent evidences of their heroic struggles and hand to hand encounters with bootleg gin, a crutch in place of a missing limb lost in the barbed wire entanglement of a speakeasy, we return to normaly.

W., Washington Sunday. Life A Distillery Out of the chaos and confusion comes a serious thought, suddenly we are brought face to face with the realization that we are living in a synthetic age in which even the gods of destiny are moonshine in a big distillery into which we all are poured to simmar and to drip. Vaughan was brought to the University Hospital by a passing motorist. Clarke, 216 Seaton street, northwest, with falling to give right away, fall into the center of a liftway and driving under the influence of liquor. Prohibition Scrap Ends In Stabbing The homes we knew have been adulterated into kickless beer, the sizzling suds remain the same, and the apartment houses have reduced God's greatest gift to man to hip pocket sizes, the good old keg we used to love and know has disappeared and the son of man has been lay his head unless his rent is paid. An argument over the pros and cons of the prohibition amendment of the 1954 Dallas street, being convinced by his opponent in a most impressive manner when the latter, Eugene Rich, 34. 519 South Carolina street, stabbed him in the abdomen, Saturday. Yes, this is the synthetic age Everything is concocted, diluted and the labels on the good old pre-war institutions have been changed. Even our religion has been tampered with. No longer does the wayward sinner have to pass through a vaporization chamber and then be strained and allowed age in the wood of fatherly counsel from his class leader. The argument took place in a saloon at 1506 Gough street. Burns is confined in the John Hopkins Hospital while Rich awaits trial at the Northeastern Police Station. Seek Hit And Run Driver Synthetic religion—shake the hand of your favorite clery doctor and he will write a prescription for the Holy Ghost and over night all of your volatile misdemeanors have been condensed and you are passed off on an unsuspecting public as a genuine pre-war Christian when if the facts were known none of your wood alcohol of sin has been re- Police are trying to locate the hit and run driver who struck and injured Andrew Hamrland. 32. 1208 Shields alley, when he attempted to cross the intersection of Saratoga Park.
