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 introduction of a vocational guidance program for this school is contemplated. The guidance has been introduced in both the senior and junior high schools. Mr. Wilkinson reports. This movement is under the general supervision of the department of re Auditorium Teacher An experiment with the "auditorium teacher" was conducted at the University of Chicago that this innovation is meeting a long-felt cultural need. This work embraces the teaching of poems and music, the preparation and reproduction, music appreciation, singing games, dramatization, preparation and rendition, and lessons in visual education, individual instruction, and organized activities such as basketball, glee clubs, auditorium clubs and school library. 277 Examined A total of 277 persons were given examinations by the board of examiners. Only 125 out of this number attended the examinations. Some of the important personal changes were the promotions of R. N. Mattingly from head of the department of Languages to principalship of the Francis Junior High School. Miss E. C. Harris from a teacher at the Armstrong Technical High School to the head of the department of Languages. Miss A.

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. The school has been Call VE rnon 6016 P WALLS Convention Can't Have School Says Nannin T OVER TO EITHER TION, SHE DECLARES Convention And I Won't Round Like A Hound' In operation more than three years and the National Baptist Convention has not been able to raise the money to get chairs for the students to sit in; nor dishes for them to eat out of Dr. Isaac says that they could not raise Fifty Dollars a month for a teacher of Music and that he is doing the work of the Music. It seems to us that if the Convention cannot raise Six Hundred Dollars to pay a teacher of music and Three Hundred Dollars to pay a teacher of music, then low the students to walk three miles a day, to get something to eat, that it is hardly in position to assume the management of another Institu- Never Gave A Dollar Before it was loaded down with a Million Dollar Publishing House and was GIVEN a school to carry out the "manage" task, never gave a dollar to the National Training School for Women and Girls. 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? Has Its Hands Full The fact is, is the National Baptist Convention has its hands full and its back laden. The Board of Directors those who hold the mortgage on the house. Dollars by January eighth, 1988 to satisfy, FOR A FEW MINUTES, those who hold the mortgage on the house. Somebody going to call these statements an attack on the National Baptist Convention. 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.

MORE ASKS ALIMONY (Continued From Page 1) Married In 1924 Alice Jones and Leonard Kip Rhinelander were married in the fall 1950s, a public society was all-agos, and the rich, aristocratic Rhinelander family is said to have stepped in immediately and to have broken up the mixed-marriage romance. In 1960, a suit was brought in young Kip's name in the Supreme Court here to annul the marriage on the ground that had been deceived by his bride as to her true or Negro racial identity. Filthy Divorce Trial After one of the most lurid, sensational and filthy trials in the annals of American divorce courts, a jury convicted a young woman of young colored bride.

Soon after landing in New York, he met Harlem's elite and after loaking about Harlem has made a series of drawings, representing different types that he found there. For as Mr. McGEE says, He has missed nothing, apparently, in the well-known list of types he gives you the "Jazz Baby", the Negro "Preacher", the chocolatier "Sheik", the heavily jowled New Yorker "Singer". Even the now classic "Gakew" inspires him to a masterpiece. "In all the playhouses of exacerbation in the megaheads there is a great knowledge of the true formation of the skull. The massive teeth close upon each other with the precision of extensive machinery, and the lins that fold them in, especially when seen in a arexorily rigid drawing.

W YORK ELK BAND SERENADES NEW ALDERMEN Fred Moore And John Hawk kins Inducted Into Of fice TAMMANY REBUKED G. O. P. Victory Termed Re venge Upon Democrats NEW YORK CITY—For the second time in the history of this great metropolis, two Negro Alfermen are sitting on the city's governing board at the same time. Fred R. Moore, Republican, from the 19th A. D., and John Clifford Hawkins, Republican, from the 21st A. D. They were inducted into office at the first meeting of the new aldermanic board held in the Aldemanche City, in Stockton, moon, Monday, January 2, 1928, incumbents were serenaded by the Mite Monarch Elks Band. The other two incumbents, both of whom were aldermen, to hold office simultaneously, were to George Harris and Dr. Charles Roberts. Both of the new incumbents had been sworn in previously. Mr. Hawkins was sworn in by Judge John R. Davis, the District Municipal Court, December 22, 1997. Mr. Moore was sworn in at the same place by the same judge, two days earlier. Both were elected the colored voters of the revolt of the colored voters of the ninth years of consecutive loyalty to Tammany leaders in Harlem. Death Rate In his interview with the APFO correspondent here, Mr. Hawkins surreptitiously told me, "I have very fundamental respect." Said he: "There is in Harlem a much higher death rate than there ought to be in fact, rates might be said to be in fact, rates of this is traceable to official neglect of enforcement of laws by the Board of Health and the Tenement House." One of my first steps shall be to see if I am seeing that the laws on the scars in this direction are made operation." Traffic Lights The new alderman from the 25th District also stated his determination to install a traffic light on the installation of a street throughfare in his district. 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. This is particularly essential in cases of the poor, average, everyday. To keep the budget down means to lower taxes, and this, of course, it is that the mass of workers get their returns." Rebuke To Tammany Editor Moore, when seen at his office, by the AFRO, representative of the felt that the election of himself and his office to office was a direct rebuke. Hall for its broken promises, as well as for its neglect of Commissioner of its official colored leader up here. He the avariciousness of the white Tamale in this district, when it came to patronage and control had proved their undoing. A new alderman from the 19th District said that he had defended pronouncement of policies to offence. He said that he hoped to be a "good Alderman for Harlem and people of all sections of New York City." Mr. Hawkins was born in Henderson, N. C., 1879. He was educated in the Henderson Normal and Indus School and graduated from Lincoln, N. C., 1890. He then came to New York and studied law at N. Y. University. In 1910 he married Miss Edith M. Gilbert, also of North Carolina. He served as the Republican member of the Assembly from the 21st District 1919, 1920 and 1921. He was also Assistant Counsel for the 19th Shipping Board, with offices at 45, 50, and 52 years, until December 20, 1927, when tired from office to prepare for his new duties, who is 70, came to New York nearly a half century later, Washington, D. C., where he had attended school and for a time had worked in the government offices, married, living with his wife in Hawaii, and working as a teacher and daughters and several grandchildren. 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.

Colored representatives of city, county and State 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.

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. 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 . . . 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 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.

ROLAND HAYES CROWDS LONDON MUSIC HALL IN DEBUT Page Eight ROLAND HAYES SINGS TO LONDON CROWD ROLAND HAYES SINGS TO LONDON CROWD First Recital Of Winter Season Is Staged In Wigmore Hall "CRUCIFIXION" BEST Critics Says He Held His Au dience Spellbound LONDON, England, Dec. 14, (From the African World)—Roland Hayes, American tenor, was beamed by a large crowd this evening in his first recital at Wigmore Hall. 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.

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. Blue, and Pacific coast networks in presenting radio programs. "In addition to this amount, over $2,000,000 was spent for talent alone on 'sponsored programs presented some American industries where clients are interested.' 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.

Died. ting his enlistment and also during his stay in the show business he saw much of the world as the minstrels played in most of the important European and all over America. **Importer And Newspaper Man** At one time Mr. Burris was employed as correspondent for the Chicago Mastry, a white man. 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."

Charley White, who once charmed audiences a silver tenor, and down and down he pops in Baltimore.

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. I am told, excellent Caucasian pianists and piano teachers there, Hartford, and is therefore, our leading Negro piano pedagogue. 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!

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.

Organized 1906 The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company was organized in 1908 and became a subsidiary of $100,000.

A few months ago the jobless and others, whom statisticians call the lower strata, welcomed a restaurant, where did the place offer the lesser parts of pork at reduced prices, but the sign on the window proclaimed in gold maybe they were gift letters that "We Never Close." 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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."

A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Persistent cough and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creamulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. 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. Money refunded if any cough or cold is dire, or if illness according to dire Peb. - 25 Watson Gives The News Of The Week In Pictures Picture 1.

Inc., has announced its second exclusive beverage, a dry ginger ale. The new product, according to W Coffee, will manage of the Whatabee Street plant, which developed during a year of experiments and tests, but will be improved with new equipment and market. Setting a precedent for race bottlers, the company first produced elder-champagne. The new drink will be put up in artistic bottles for competition with well-known high class established ales on the market. The company has always made a specific flavor, Sold I flavors. American drinks are handled by 950 dealers in the city and neighborhood districts. The present plant has daily capa- tion of 450 bottles.

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. James Vaughn, 629 S. Hanover St. sustained a probable fractured skull when the automobile in which he was riding enroute to Baltimore from Annapolis was struck and overturned by the automobile operated by Robert Clarke. 218 Saton street, N. 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.
