Every caught bird is caged, as this and young bird kindly of Kip. He is an improvement on most young white gentleman. His feet followed his heart, afterwards went his hand. For Christmas he sent Miss Alice a bouquet. He sent her many brown roses. That then happy young lady skews of her beloved: "Only Lionard knows where to buy such roses. They are the same as he sent me that Christmas that he still loves me." Yes, Miss Alice that shows he still loves you. Also you show the elegance of woman in putting last Christmas in the record. Miss Alice is suing Kip for separation. In New York there is but one ground for divorce. You see what that man is doing to show what state divorce? What state incomes you to come over and get one? is not the clerk in heaven busy if he keeps a record of our white people marriages? He is in Louisiana getting married for a divorce.

JOHNNY HUDGINS NEWEST PARIS SENSATION NOW One Time Baltimore Stage Hand Accepts Contract With Paramount Theatre MRS. HUDGINS BEST DRESSED PARIS GIRL Paris Picture Papers Snap Her In The Paddock At Long Champs Races PARIS., (By J. A. Rogers)—Each year some colored person from across the big pond somehow manages to find himself or herself, the centre of attraction in this gay city by the Seine. There has been Florence Mills, and there are Al Brown, Josephine Baker and others. Now the spotlight is turned on Johnny Hudgins, he of the songless song and the frisky feet—Moo-seed Dionny Eudjeens, as the Parisians, who already the Parisians "Wah-Wah dolls" are on sale on the grand boulevards, and are finding themselves into the boudours of the fair Parisienne. Hudgins is a star of the Moulin Rouge—his cession in its new production Paris Aux Etolles—one of the most gorgeous and expensive productions in the history of the Parisian music halls. While starring Ambassadeurs, the famous noted Peggy Clineille, last May, the manager of the Moulin Rouge, M. Pierre Foucet, saw him and at once offered him an engagement at his theatre at a salary that runs about $25,000, that the frame is 25 to the dollar. Some 350 persons are in the cast, and a seat on the main of the Moulin Rouge costs 70 francs, which at the current rates of wages would be about six dollars in America. And at that point must be engaged long in advance. The last star at the Moulin Rouge was the noted Minguett, hence to be a star at this theatre means that one is a puppeteer. Appears Nine Times Hudeins appears nine times in the evening, receiving generous applause, even though applause is rare in the French theatre. With his droll make-up, his huge, warm, warm supple, slippery seat, and his songless "Wah-Wah" song he simply captivates his audience.

So much how was raised by the press members of the board of interest in the human treatment of boys, committed to the institution, over the method of hiring the boys out into veritable slavery that the management promised that this procedure would no longer continue, would be placed on the educational development of the inmates. Many of the boys were recalled from the farms in accordance with the promise, but the fact that they were not served with servitude is shown in the recent report which says that of the 380 boys supposed to be in the institution less than 100 were found on the grounds of the farm, and a special committee sent by the Grand Jury to investigate conditions. Mr. W. R. J. Ranny, secretary-treasurer of the reformatory, informed the committee that the boys recommended changes in the state road, the report says. Broom Factory Fire Trap In spite of the fact that each grant was made to a boy recommended changes in the broom factory where a large number of boys are employed, the present committee again brands the place as fire trap, which has been the complaint of all previous committees.

The place was found to be unsanitary, and the classrooms were prac- Conditions found at Cheltahan were quite different from those reported by the committee which visited the Maryland Training School for Boys at Lochraven, where white boys were found in different grades and classes at their studies and in the vocational department. The boys were also found with the appearance and general behavior of the boys. Upon visiting the cottages where the boys make their home we were impressed with the arrangement of the cottages. Every boy was in good taste. The boys form units in the different cottages in a military fashion which are commanded by officers of the boys at the school not one was in the hospital, which we found in excellent condition. The high degree of health speaks well for the authorities who by giving wholesome food and providing proper recreation and sanitation show that they have the welfare of the boys. Melissa G. O. K Maryke Schenck The Medical School for Girls also received praise because of the wholesome conditions which prevail. The place was said to be clean and the girls were pleasantly occupied and apparently happy, the report says. The school also provided that the practice of holding state witnesses in jail pending the trial of an accused person be discontinued because it was unfair to the witness in as many cases the prisoner was out on bail. A more vigilant inspection of the剧院 by health authorities was also recommended. The practice of subletting stalls in city markets was asked to be discontinued. The market author would be held accountable to the stalkerkeeper instead of to individuals who in turn lease their property and necessitate the stall-keepers charging higher prices.

The shortage of A. F. Ward alone is $50,000, and the $300,000. Ward is in the county jail and although police say he has admitted improper use of $50,000 of the bank's funds, an AFRO-AMERCOR company has said that he claims innocence and will plead not guilty to embezzlement charges likely to be preferred against him. The arrest of some of the officers and former officers of the bank is expected hourly here as bank examiners unearth further evidences of wrongful uses of the bank's funds. It is rumored that the bank has specialized speculations dating back over several years, and that if the sweeping investigation being made is carried back far enough it will involve the administration of former President Bert M. Roddy. Sandford, who several years ago moved to Chicago where he purchased a vast amount of property. It is also rumored that it will involve Bert M. Roddy, former carlier, and for many years a controller, the development of the institution. Roddy resigned two years ago to become field director of the National Negro Business League. More than $100,000 of the frozen assets of the bank were taken into the institution under his administration as cashier. Another leading business man, said to be involved in the Fraternal Bank end of the Tri-State politician and manager of the Tri-State Casket and Coffin Company, a manufacturing plant which has been doing business here for seven years. Wilkerson was one of the leading spirits in negotiations which brought about the merger of the two insti- Boddy Deples Rumor In a statement made to the National Negro Associated Press, Bert M. Roddy, who returned to Memphis last week from our visit to the National Negro Business League, declared that the statement that the bank hold paper on him for a loan of $10,000 made several years ago when he was operating a chain of grocery stores. "There was no such item several years ago, and there is no such item now," he said. Two Weeks Bank Examiners Wilson, Hunt and McFarland say it will require fully two weeks to straighten out the tangled affair and account accounts of the discrepancies. Ward is said to have taken large sums of money out of the bank for real estate and other operations. Dummy loans, money and cash are said to have also figured in methods by which the actual cash was depleted. During the "run" many savings accounts were said to have been stolen against. Just how far this kind of juggling has gone and whom it will involve will not be known until a complete investigation is completed and the ac- Levy Williams, a protege of A. F. Ward, brought into the merged institution from the Fraeral Bank and Trust Company and E. Fasch. Williams and E. Fasch Ward are still in jail. The enraged temper of depositors would make it dangerous to release them, leading citizens say. J. E. Walker Out Dr. J. E. Walker, arrested when it was found that he withdrew $20,000 Universal Life Insurance money from the institution a few hours before it closed. J. E. Walker, AFRO-AMERICAN correspondent learned that the charge against Dr. Walker is recarded by his friends as technical. He claims that he merely bought $20,000 worth of money held by the bank for Universal Life. Financial Chaos The failure of the bank with its 90,000 depositors including many large organizations and business financial closes in the Memmish section. The first result was the failure of the Delta Penny Savings Bank of Indianapolis to issue a bond of $200,000, a large part of which was said to be on deposit in the Solvent and Fraternal institution. Deposits closed immediately after "run" started by panic stricken depositors on hearing of its involvement with the defunct institution. Deposits fail. Desiree has shortage it is believed that depositors will be fully protected. An indemnity bond for $100,000 signed by some of the directors that recovery can be made of much of the improperly withdrawn funds. Efforts to organize the bank are made, and a local realty concern is offering to accept accounts in the bank up to $200 as first payment on purchases of homes. Churches and school children are said to be among those who have been hard struck by the failure of the church to be linked to one of Memphis leading ministers. The bank was the depositor of the thrift system promoted in the 1960s by the regular Christmas Saving department, largely patronized by children.

ALA., —Acting upon the recommendations of the Colored Advisory Commission on rehabilitation in the flood district Secretary Hoover has outlined in a letter to Dr. Robert R. Moton, Chairman of the Commission, a new program for relief work. It provides for the appointment of one colored worker for each white worker in the service of the Red Cross, both races will be equally represented. The program is effective January 1. Dr. J. S. Clark president of Southern Baton Rouge, La.; I. M. McCoy president of Rust College, Holly Sarinus, Miss.; and H. C. Ray, Extension Service state agent for Arkansas, all of whom are members of the commission have been appointed by the commission to serve as their respective states to supervise relief work among Negroes in cooperation with the Red Cross.

They will see that houses which have been destroyed or damaged are rebuilt or restored. They will also work with local contractors or those in for the purpose. Committees Equal "In order that there can be no mistake or failure in this situation, Secretary Hoover writes, "I have suggested that MESS. Ray, McCoy and Clark comprise a committee, advisory to the Red Cross and of the strength of the staff of college assistants to a number equal to the National Red Cross representatives in the different counties; that these assistants undertake at once to compile a survey of the entire situation of the Red Cross needless, to the Red Cross representatives who will at once investigate and find remedy."

PROHIBITION CAUSE OF LYNCH DECLINE Mob Victims 255 In 1892 And 20 In 1927 DECREASE EVERY YEAR Even State Dry Laws Helped Says Kelly Miller WASHINGTON. D. C.-According to Kelly Miller, Howard University professor of sociology and a publicist, better known for his prohibition, the cause of the reduction in the number of lynchings in recent years. Lynching he says, "treached its chilren in 1892, with 255 victims. Since that time there has been a regular and rapid decrease to something like twenty a year. In 1893 there were 100 victims. Since that time there has been a similar decline in both races, although the whites have decreased the more rapidly. In 1903 there were 40 years something like 1,000 whites and 3,000 Negroes have died at the hand of the mob. I am convinced that the decline in lynching is due primarily to the restriction in the use of intoxicating beverages. A careful study of the figures will show that it has followed closely the prohibition laws Southern states. "The South, where the Negro mainly resides and where the bulk of lynchings occur, is a prohibition long before the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment. In 1920 the number of lynchings had dropped to 61, and since that time, under Federal prohibition, lynchings are perfectly natural that free flowing liquor would add to the frenzy of the mob. Whenever an outbreak of any kind occurred in a community, the authorities would first order the curing of all saloons. "Lynching cannot be isolated by itself and treated as a separate evil. It is but a symptom of the spirit of the people. The people of the people are afflicted. The cure calls for systemic, and not systematic treatment. This most virulent form of lawlessness shows itself in the lynchings, the disregard of the fourteenth, fifteenth and eighteenth amendments."

A little belated, my dear, but I am still givt my heart a little joy. My vacation was a "long time between drinks", as we used to say before the Volsteadian days—however, one of my New Year's gifts was to write you more often and tell you what you are going on in this burg. My mind is so crammed full of saucy things, I hardly know where to start to tell what has been what, and HOW! Frats And Sororities It was Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha in Cleveland, Omega in New York, Kappa in Detroit, Phi Beta Sigma in St. Louis, and Delta Sigma Theta in Washington. The boys and girls were flying high and now I guess the debts have taken the place of the credits, and the noses of the girls were flying high and Walburginmath, twelve months hence. (Look up your Faust.) There is so much to tell you about Deltas joins in D. C. that Iain must slight the others. Pardon the antiquity, but the Deltas powdered their faces while the Kappas and the social lions turned to lamps, and the fox said the grapes were sour, for the Deltas had their own personal social register, and at their dance the lions turned to lamps, and the dining Hall at which all of the lions and tanners were supposed to be gathered, many who ventured near only got near enough to the music the Deltas had two at the door, and all those whose invitations did not correspond with their social register. Many were turned away with karenes for his said some of the lions' stresses and had to waste their fragrance on the campus air. It seemed to be a case of 'no tickee, no shirtee' as the Chinese laundryman said. Focus on the Deltas turning away some of the peers of the University? The dance was truly more and I never saw the dining hall more beautifully decorated, the music was good and 'twere exclusive, and how!' The Alpha Kappa Alpha gave the Deltas a cozy dance at the Odds and Ends, a fun, inclusive and cutieable. The Alpha Phi Alpha contributed a sight-seeing bus ride, so I hear, and so the Deltas brought that week to a successful The Brotherhood The Honorable A. Phillip Randolph is in town to present the case of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car and made a perfectable wonderful address Sunday night at the John Wesley A. M. E.

Louisa Hayes, Alice Bell and the everloving Gerald Hayes. The music was snappy, the guests were full of the joy of living and punch, and the party was very lively. Oh! how good it is to have some something to do, sometimes. I never have enjoyed myself so much, and why wouldn't I—beautiful home, good things to partake, stumping girls, handsome and tame, after all that, the fairies no longer until dawn. What! No "Women". Last week Charlie Drew and Mr. Cook gave a stag at the well-appointed apartment of Miss Halie Queen. When news first seeped out, we were all very excited, and I was a bit concerned, wondering what it was all about. It seems the hosts did the inviting, and there were a dozen men present, but no the hosts proceeded to get busy on the telephone. Moral—Lady First. Frances Garvin and Pearl Curtis, those inseparable two, gave a lovely dance the former on bouncing holiday and the latter on jolly lunch on hand and enjoyed the dance, the eats 'neathing. Constance Willis, of 'Red' Brooks, and Sol Johnson was on hand with Carroll Carson—and what a handsome couple they make? Elizabeth B. Hbowland blew into town last week, enroute back to Kansas City, Mo., from New York City, where she spent the holidays in Kansas City. She was comedied by the nurses and doctors of Freedmen's Hospital where she was one of the head nurses for so many years. In June, when she felt to accept the position as Superintendent of Nurses at the Provident-Wheatley Hospital in Kansas City, Mary was chosen to deserve the return to Freedmen's Hospital, now that her arch enemy has been dispossessed, but from the huge burglar attack on her finger, training about 40 diamonds (yest! I said 40) and the diamond crescent pin, and hearing about these long stories, she came coming in nightly. I believe Lizzie will be hard to pull away from way out there. It did seem like old times. In your own neighborhood, there are doubtless many men and women who had suffered one time or another from colds—and at last found in Terminoll the so much wanted relief.

According to Dr. Carter G. Woodson, we have the understanding on the part of some persons that the aim of this movement was to diminish the interracial relations by suggesting less attention to the achievements of other races and nations and by eulogizing unduly the achievements of the race. The Association is the New his place among the achievements of the world without any exaggeration. The establishment of the Home School Association is under instruction by mail and the Association is urging schools and libraries to use textbooks and other materials to organize classes and clubs for the serious study of the significant record of the race.

Page Three LIBERIAN POST CARRIES $5,000 SALARY CHECK No Provision To Increase It In Bureau's Budget For 1929 PAY IS LOWEST IN U. S. SERVICE New Embassy In Liberia Planned — Increase Before Congress Committee WASHINGTON, D. C.—No provision for an increase in the salary of the minister resident and consul general to Liberia is carried in the bill making appropriations for the State Department, which is now under consideration in the House. The present salary of the minister resident and consul general to Liberia is $5,000 a year. Two years ago President Coolidge recommended an increase in this salary to $10,000 a year in order to access to enact legislation authorizing it. The estimates of the Budget Bureau for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, are an increase. Wilbur J. Carr, assistant secretary of state, who appeared before the subcommittee of the State Department, stated that the State Department estimated for an increase in salary of the minister to Liberia, but the Budget Bureau thought it was not appropriate to bill it come in the appropriation bill. Want Salary Increased An effort will be made before the Committee on Foreign affairs, Mr. Carr said, to have the salary of St. Paul, Minn., is the present minister to Liberia. He succeeded the Rev. Solomon Porter Hood, of New Jersey, who is designated years ago to be the president; his general to Liberia ought to be a full minister, Mr. Carr declared. "Ten thousand, dollars will barely pay $50,000 simply means that he must go into his own pocket or into debt. The last man we had there went into the office and a good thing for the government." Other Countries Pay More The minister to Liberia is required to perform hpth diplomatic and consular functions. His salary is $5,000 less than paid in the United States. It is also less than the salary received by any other foreign representative in Monrovia, of whom he has a higher grade than charge d'affaires. The German consul at Monrovia each receives a salary of $7,500 a year and, in addition, entertainment and household allotments. The British vice consul is paid as much as as the American minister and consular general. To Erect Embassy In carrying into effect the provisions of the foreign service building plans to acquire land and erase a building in Monrovia for the use of the diplomatic and consular service buildings for the building. Re-resentative Stephen G. Porter, chairman of the foreign service buildings of the house of appropriations committee at the hearings on the State Department appropriations, will follow the general standardized tropical building. Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little fretful spells and infantile aliments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the day? If you don't know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Castoria. It is sweet to the taste, and sweet to the mouth. The influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher's Castoria is purely vegetarian, and you give it freely at first sign of colie; or constipation; or diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don't know what is the matter. For real sickness, call the doctor; often you encounter a few cases of Fletcher's Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher's other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but you can go on gnore and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold!

Armstrong Hi TALK AT ALLEN LEAGUE This is the first time in history that an attempt has been made to establish a civilization made alone, since the declaration of a David of Jerusalem principal of Armstrong High School, Washington, in an address Sunday before the A. C. E. League of Allen A. M. E. Church, St. Louis, Missouri, for the stance of Prayer", Mr. Houston told his hearers that all the leisure which has come as a result of the advancement of science and inventions has been made in the spiritual advancement of man and other countries. The shorter working day has been a big boost for the motion picture producers, he declared, but it has meant nothing in the matter of increasing church attendance. Older Folk Jazzy "I am not alarmed at the jazz antics of the youth," he continued, "but I am alarmed at the same qualities in so many old people, especially gives us cause for worry." The present situation of the children leading the parents is entirely to be depended on. Reviewing in history a long list of great men who had confidence in prayer, he urged that there be some sort of cooperative movement for a rejuvenation of prayer life. **Boosters' Program** The Sunday afternoon program was under the auspices of the Boosters' League.

Davis Approved By Ministers' Alliance Two local pastors, Dr. M. H. Church, pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church, and Dr. C. Harold Steppe, pastor of Balmoral Church were endorsed. Thursday as candidates for the bishopric of the A. M. E. Church at the organization meeting of the Mt. Olive Conference and Volinity at Grace Presbyterian Church. Following an address by Dr. Davis which on a committee recommended a publication of the message in pamphlet form, Dr. Davis asked the body to endorse him. Dr. Stepthean annotated the motion was carried and asked that the pastors not show any special favor, but consider any candidates for honors. During a general discussion in which it was suggested that no endorsement be made at any time, and the protests of Dr. Ernest Lyon and the two were endorsed toptly. Green Elected The Rev J. H. Greene, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, was elected president of the Alliance of 60 ministers representing seven representatives are Baptist. Methodist Episcopal, A. M. E. A. M. E. Z. C. M. E. Presbyterian, and Episcopal. Four other such alliances have been in existence. The constitution provides that in the monthly meetings, which are to be held at Grace Church, no discernible difference in the tenets of any of the member denominations. Committees include those for education, social and economic welfare, programs, current topics, and the scores I honor. Much of the loss of prestige and respect of the church today is due to the influence of Dr. Lyon in an informal address. Urging that special emphasis be placed upon educational programs, he told the congregation would continue to listen to men who can hardly read their Bibles. The ministry must have men who are superior to the congregations, or doom itself for In the opening sermon the Rev. Dr. Davis outlined the history of denominationalism. Beginning with the citation found in the book of advent of various spiritual leaders, there are now 130 different faiths in America alone, he said. Differences in denomination, he stated, are only reflections of the differences in temperaments of leaders. Declaring that business had reached its achievement only because of the organization, he said, both must have some sort of union to meet the growing demands of church people who are not satisfied with slipspeed men and scouring modernists who attack the sacredness of parts of the Bible and criticise its writers.

NEED MORE PROPHETS SAYS A. M. E. BISHOPS Ministry Must Prophesy, So Masses May Have Vision, Declares Bishop Ransome Minister Declares That Many Christians Are Faithless That there are far too few prophets in the race pulpits of today, and that there are many professed Christians who lack faith and are unwilling to make sacrifices to the some of the light of the message that Bishop R. C. Kanssone brought to the members of Trinity A. M. E. Church, Sunday morning. Giving as his subject, "Seeing the God of things long before." We must see things long before they come to pass, for if we don't, we fail before we have begun. All great things, whether of material or spiritual, were realized before they were worked out. We must look ahead and see the future of our children and of our race." Not Rough Enough Bishop Ransome asserted his belief that there are too many professed Christians who lack faith and who refuse to make sacrifices when they are most necessary. He declared that for the churches of today to accomplish their mission the people of the church must renew their faith in God and their fellowmen. Bishop Ransome compared the Negro race with the Israelites. We must prove to our opponents, he said, that we can do the things they say we cannot, but we can only do this by having faith all the way along. No Prophets "There is not enough prophecy in the Negro pulps of today," he declared. "A ministry that does not have a mass as a mass to have vision. We have a lot of owl's bats, and frogs in the ministry, hunting and croaking in the church. We have a lot of owl's bats, and frogs in the church. These men are not prophets. What we need is a group of intelligent and trained men who will lead us to darkness." Giles Baltimore. The minister then cited the work of such faithful prophets as Wayman, Payne, Douglass, and others to prophesy the life of prophets of an educated ministry. It is to them, he pointed out, that we owe much for the more enlightened Transcendrine the combined value of all material things is faith, the bishop concluded. He pleaded for the young people of today to unite with the people who have more years of usefulness. Many people think that they are too bad to join, but just the people the church needs and who in turn need the church. S. S. Lesson Sunday, January 15th: JESUS AND SIN And they came unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four, and they took him to him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was; and when they had taken him to the bed where the bed where in the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said un- during the palay, Son, thy sins be forgiven these. But there were certain of the serbes silt- less and reasoning in the heart of them. Why can they forgive sins but God phenomenes? Who can forgive sins but God And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within them, why reason why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether it is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Tsin has forgiven them; or to take up the bed, and walk? But that you can on earth to the Son of his power, both power to forgive us, (he saith to the sick of the palsy). I say unto the sick, Arise, and take up the bed. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insolence glorified God, saying, We never saw it this fashion. And to pass, as Jesus sat at most in his house, many publicans and sinners and also together with Jesus and his disciples there were many, and they followed him. And when the serbes and Pharisees saw him, many publicans and sinners said unto his disciples, How he sailed unto eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners. Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, they that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came to repentance. Golden text: I came not to call the right-hand sinners.

Officers of the church invited the Rev. Milton Waldron, of Washington, over to preside, and on motion of Lewis H. Davenport, it was decided that the pastor maintain the chair. Lively Tilts Several lively tits between the pastor and officers punctuated the meeting. Joseph P. Evans, Dr. O. A. Joseph P. Evans, Dr. O. A. and others insisted that rotation was not at issue, but the deal where the church had involved itself into a money loss proposition. Both Mr. Evans and Dr. Reid stated that had Koener been present to offer his resolution they would have remained silent or voted against asking for the resignation of Dr. Reid. Charge Bad Faith In reply to Dr. Reid, the Rev. Mr. Over charged bad faith, and derided that no ten in the church had done as much to cripple his ministry. He stated that in several conversations with the doctor proceeding to the church, he asked the Methodist Church at Lafayette and Madison avenues, he had told Dr. Reid that because of his high standing and experience, he relied upon the church to deal with the contract had been signed, and that he had asked him about the church deal and that he had no once expressed disapproval until the contract had been signed. A former statement that the church deal was carried through with "vicious intent" stated that he meant no personal reflection to the pastor, but that he could think the world and all of him, he could have a poor opinion of him as a real estate dealer. Aologies were written to Dr. Reid during their repartee. Makes Statement In a plain statement on the church deal, Dr. Over intimated that the church would lose all its money in the new church deal. They were still trying to reach a compromise whereby they would get some of the money from the trouble, he stated, was not the church buying deal. It was personal opposition and the church did not accept that we have abandoned the church project he declared, the fight against him had intensified instead of lessened. We had gone and gone with him to look at the church had expressed approval and had later changed over night. At 11:00 o'clock with a collection and handshake. A. C. E. LEAGUE OF COPPIN MEM. A. M. E.

PEN White Governor, Judges, Mayor And Member Of Congress Were There PERSONAL LIBRARY OF 2,000 VOLUMES "Pen" Called Health Resort For Politicians Not In Power NEW YORK.—Writing to the "Negro World," Marcus Garvey, recently freed from Atlanta pen and deported to Jamaica, described prison as a health resort for politicians not in power. we argue in part: Why, do you know that at a prison where I was, I was they, 300 people there—2,300 white men and 700 colored men. We had a white governor of a state there. You know how many states we were in. We had white Federal judges, and we had state judges; we had municipal judges and mayors; we had members of Congress; we had editors by the hundreds, lawyers by the hundred, bankers by the hundred, presidents of corporations, and all kinds of people. We had some men serving 100 years, some serving 90 some 50, some 20 years, and some life, and others two years, and ten years, and others who were by the ahead of me; he was doing ten years. Daughter. Indiana Governor He was a strapping well-built white man from the great Republican state of Indiana, a state about ten times the size of Jamaica. While he was a rich man, he got money from a bank. He was a rich man and had cattle farms, but he still noted notes for more than he had, and his political enemies got behind him in impersonation or fraud. A similar charge to mine, using the mails to defraud, but the difference was that he was charged $50,000, the quality of 50. He not ten years. I was indicted on 50 counts and found guilty on one, and was given the maximum of five years. He was a good Christian, but was crying all the time. (Laughter) "Resort for Friendless Politicians" Then there was a white mayor, also from Indiana, named Johnson. When I went to Indiana in 1921 he was then mayor and president at the place. I met him was in Atlanta Prison. He served a year and a day and then he made parole and went home. Then the next person I met enough, was at the same meeting where the mayor presided. Nominated In Prison Then we had Eugene Victor Deas. He was sent for 10 years in the army; a man who ran for president, animated prison and ran against Harding, and believe cut two million votes. So he made up of the penitentiary, the make-up of the penitentiary. Health Resort It is just a health resort for politicians whose friends are not in it and whose people are not in to do things against the people in power, and for crooks. Now don't you doubt that there are crooks who will pick your pockets who will pick your pockets with your eyes open and with your eyes closed. You have there villains cans and eat everybody off, and then they take away two million dollars worth of mail. The most of the villains are to be found there. Library of 2,000 So I spent two years and 10 months out of five years, and I was disbanded one minute later. For my five years was clear. was so busy for the seven years preceding my conviction that I was not able to open a book. I had a 1980 book, 1980 books, not even three to four of them for about seven and a half years. In Atlanta I had a library of 2,000 books, and I had all the time to read reflect; therefore I feel good now, reflect; therefore I feel good another ten years.

BLUE RIBBONERS Rockfellow Tenements Built Originally For Those Earning $25 Week COG SLIPPED, POOR FOLKS HELD BACK DuBois, Pickens, Johnson, NEW YORK CITY.—Much speculation was aroused here when it was announced that the title to the model tenement houses erected by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., occupying the block bounded by Seventh and Eighth avenues and 149 and 150th streets, had been conveyed to the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Apartments, Inc., with Charles A. Hedys as president. Investigation at the office of the Resident Manager, Roscoe Conkling Brothers, 1862. The information that the company was in essence a holding one for the tenants who have bought, and in much of the stock of the corporation, particularly the preferred stock. Mortgage Taken Back In the fall of 2012, Mackenzie took back a mortgage of $2,000,000 at 5% per cent, which is to run for 30 years, expiring December 31, 1957. Mackenzie is governing the sales of apartments is to obtain. At this date the buyers will have liquidated the mortgage and those who have will receive title to their apartment, subject to certain community restrictions. Inquiry at the office brought out the practice of renting apartments had been sold, and that the company was contemplating renting any of those remaining, feeling that in view of the demand at present, all would surely be sold very Originally For Poor These apartments, according to announcements, were originally intended to offer a chance to a charmed apartment, a cooperative basis and thus to bring about a betterment of the living level of many of the masses of Negro workers in Harlem. Among them, the shipped, and much of the register of the new apartments reads like the Negro social register of Harlem. Among them, Mr. B. Du Bois, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnson, Noah D. Thompson, Dr. and Mrs. Peter M. Murray, Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Whipner, Mr. and Mrs. William Pickens, Miss Owens, and many other social "blue ribs." "Mazuma" Lacking It appears that when the time came for the sale of the apartments, the type of brother that he had with him that the back his unilenthantic mind did not materialize with sufficient of what is vulgarly known as "mazuma" to effect a purchase. This group supposed that it was all about despair, that it was all about despair, the very savie and clear representations of Manager Roscoe Bruce and his staff. There arises then a situation similar to that which recently confronted a board of executors that had built apartments for white workers with families supposed to be earning not in excess of $25 per week. It was found that "no such animal" was in existence in Man- Onulent Rushed To make a long story short, the more eminent rushed in making true stories, the more difficult that hath shall be given." Thus in both the white and colored cases, philanthropy was a little near-sighted in its surveys of the work of the philanthropist in New York and the "hurreisee" the story. And so endeth the story. 4 Jim Crowed At New York Univ. NEW YORK CITY. (ANP)—Because there is only one shower bath available at Washington Square and bathing facilities were so limited at the time, students were deemed adjustable to permit Negro students at the university to take the course in physical education, according to Harold O.

Tinkham Calls Disfranchis'ment Unparalleled National Scandal NEW YORK—Speaking Sunday in the Church before the annual mass, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Representation of Massachusetts, assailed the "gross and lawless disfranchisement of the Negro voter in the South," as being the result of a railroad in any other civilized country." Mr. Tinkham, in an address during which he minced no words, assures that the present is more of a fraud upon the whole country than it is upon the Negro, making the national elector "inconstitutional and hait unconstitutional." This condition, Representative Tinkham asserted, can no longer confer rights and power as he possesses by refusing to vote for a party which unconstitutionally and lawlessly allows his distranchisement. There can be no constitutional enforcement. The political morality of one state of the Union "Too Good A Preacher" Rivals Quoted As Saying BROOKLYN, N. N. - As an atermath of Berean Church, the Baptist ministers of Brooklyn, against his selection as pastor of Berean Baptist Church, including even, it said, the had taken over the church. Rev. Claude Lavosler Franklin, formerly assistant pastor at Concord Baptist Church, tendered his resignation from the church to become effective January 15, 1828. It is said that the Baptist brethren in cloth of this city, who had autos, burned plenty of gas, and that such planes of spiritual plenitude "hot-footed" it to the doors of the members of Berean Church and uttered suspensions against younger candidates. No character charges, as far as can be learned could be made against him, though, that his unmarried state was urged against him, despite the fact that he was not engaged when approached, that on that ground Jesus would have been left Lost By Two Votes As a result the good Rev. Franklin, who has been very acceptable at Concord as assistant, at least to the congregants of the Episcopal Church, two votes. The former assistant is a graduate of the theological school of Virginia Union, Richmond, Va., and has taken degree work in theology. It is common talk hereabouts that the Baptist "Skv Pilots" felt that the young purveyor of the gospel was too good a preacher to be turned loose. His trouble, many freely assert, began when the good brethren and sisters at Concord Baptist, of which Rev. James B. Adams is passported, met the man which he said to be modern and inspiring. At any rate, it is alleged that Dr. Adams was among those who canvassed against his own assistant, getting another Baptist Take A Rest Dr. Franklin plans to take a short rest from his arduous work of the last year, after which he will become active again.

We have repeated failures in our city of white banks, time and again, but have we ever heard a single person say that it would set the strong man next to me? Is it usually one of the incidents that is constantly occurring, unpleasant as they may be. They are the occasional footsteps. Many people who have succeeded have at sometime their life failed somewhere, but their failure did not stop their trying to make success out of failure. In business we have many obstacles yet to be overcome. Firms need strong arms to make us fail but we never fail because of over pessimism because of the fact that we never start to get anywhere. Dance Mad Collegians After reading the pre-convention announcements of several college fraternities the AFRO advised delegates not to attend without dinner jackets and dance pumps. The Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity was mentioned specifically as one fraternity which guaranteed its delegates a dance for each day of the gathering. Further inquiry indicates that the Alphas have company. Take the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority's "grand clconclave" in Richmond, Va., last week. A semi-official report tells of five dances, a tea, a musicale and a banquet during the five day sessions. Describing one of the two formal dances, the report recites:—The hall was beautifully decorated—gold fish, ferns, birds, DIM lights and peeping flowers. The perfume of heaven permeated the atmosphere until day reminded us that, we must come back to the realm of mortals. In the report of the other formal dance it is stated "sisters and brothers danced until morning." The question suggesting itself at once is how can the delegates "sniff the perfume of heaven" referred to above thru the night hours and then spend a full day transacting convention business. The answer—they don't. Alphas attacked the problem in their Cleveland Convention by cutting meeting days from five to three—a gentle hint to the dance hounds to work more and dance less. The AFRO tentatively congratulates the Alphas. Suspicion is current however that the heavenly sniffers" will not accept the hint given. If it does, do the congratulations stand. If not, the AFRO will be forced to a manful and honest retraction. Memphis Bank Failure The Fraternal and Solvent Bank and Trust Company of Memphis failed last week. Three of its officers were placed under arrest and irregularities amounting to $50,000 confessed. But the directors of this bank were under a $100,000 indemnity bond which will be sufficient to make good the shortage and leave something over. Since the bank changed its policy of investment seven years ago, it has failed rapidly. A merger with the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company last year simply delayed the inevitable crash. The Fraternal Savfit Life Insurance Company came to the rescue with a loan of $101,000. A run on the bank wiped out all cash in two days. The Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company's real trouble began when it abandoned its policy of investing in securities not approved by the clearing house. The bank was supposed to have closed in chain grocery store investment which proved a failure. A large part of $750,000 the bank has out in loans, is upon real estate, so tied up that it cannot now be profitably liquidated. C. C. Spaulding, President of the N. C. Mutual Life Insurance Company, in a latter to the AFRO, said that the banks failed last year and only one colored bank The fact remains as Mr. Spaulding realizes—that we cannot afford to lose even one. The memphis bank it made mistakes in the race. The race cannot bank the banking business without mistakes. Memphis owes it to itself not to let this mistake crush its business thinking and its cooperative spirit. Fraternal and Solvent Bank should be responsible to work under men who have learned from experience now how a bank should invest its funds. A W. Virginian Answers McMillan By GEORGE HARVEY CHARLESTON, W. VA.—Readers of the APRO-AMERICAN in this state are somewhat chagrined over recent aspersions cast over West Virginians by the Rev. Lewis K. McMillan, Special Correspondent. Not that they are too narrow to take criticism, but that they believe that with the bad the writer saw, he might have seen much to commend if he had not been keeping one eye closed. The intimation that there are only one or two educated people in the state and that such advancement as has been made by the race is in the realms of shady politics, would be humorous if not about such a serious affair. Progress of the race in this state is far above and beyond other race achievements in proportion to population. If Mr. McMillan had consulted the Governor's report and year book he would have found that despite the fact, as he says, our politicians are ignorant, they have many more que the payroll of county, state and nation than the state. The great trouble is that we have too many critics and so few constructive helpers. We do need more trained doctors, dentists, lawyers and business men. We need more trained ministers and we invite the Rev. Mr. McMillan to come over in Macedonia and help us. Our miners are said to be poor, underpaid and illiterate, but more than two out of every ten own a home and an automobile. They could own more if we had more constructive leadership. Come on over, then and bring your panacea. We need to do more than we do your adverse criticism. No Second Place A new and entirely novel point of view is expressed by Mr. Benjamin G. Brawley, professor of English at Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. in declining a second prize of $100 and a third prize for his published works on English literature. First award in this class went to Mr. John W. Davis who has built West Virginia Institute into a Class A college. Professor Brawley wrote the AFRO this week declining the Harmon award. He is quoted saying, "The my life I have done strictly first class work and I am not willing to accept anything that looks like an award for the second order of merit." The AFRO has sympathy with Prof. Brawley's point of view. Certainly every worker should work not only of first rank but deserving of first prize. However, the Harmon Awards were made on the basis of what a group of judges think is the best achievement of the year. Their award of a second prize infers no second rate to the class of work done, but instead says plainly that values the first class contribution of Mr. Davis above that first class contribution by Mr. Brawley. Super-sensitiveness guided Mr. Brawley's pen in declining the Harmon Award. He ought to reconsider and recall his declination, rejoicing he is not without honor among his fellow men. DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES Where Did They Get These Rezors? Reports in the Bureau of Accidents of Baltimore show five suicides who slashed themselves to death with razors. FOUR OF THEM WERE WHITE AND ONE COLORED. This fact does not fit so well with the generally accepted idea as to who makes most deadly use of the trusty steel. The men in the missions, the running from ghosts, the fear of hoodoos, the laziness of husbands, the promiscuity of the "all coons looks alike" idea, this affinity between razor and race has always gotten a set back when the bare facts are analyzed. The country is going to wake up from a dream; wipe the mist from their eyes and look into an amazingly new white and colored world. Staging Another Shanghai Gesture Another type of Shanghai Gesture, this time staged by the Pullman Company, is looming. In order to further browbeat porters into submitting to low wages and perpetuating the humiliating principle of salary by tips, a threat to install Chinese youth in the Pullman service corps is already a group of young Chinese has been placed on a club car on a western railroad, and the thing has been given sufficient publicity to make it seem as a hugaboo with the hope of putting the organizing of this group of workers. This last gesture thrown into this grim struggle is interesting and discloses a dumbbell of Chinese workers, marked by one of the race advisors to the company suggested this, for it could hardly be believed that these workers consent with the close kung Mongol solider and the trend of Chinese-American relations, would think seriously of introducing the "yellow peril" into the porter situation. Anyway porters will not be frightened by any such red herring. The fact is the fight to organize these workers has become the outspoken issue of the present crait in racial development. EVEN IF THEY MUST GET ENTIRELY OUT OF THE VOCATION, THEY CANNOT BECOME. Most of them are types of men who are involved in industry and the very principle involved makes it worth a life and death struggle. You Can't Beat Law And Order The publishing of Walter Malone's poem "Opportunity" in this column two weeks ago brought in some interesting letters. From them I have started all over again at 55, comes that time worth truth that you can't beat the game of law and order. "I rebelled at convention," he says, "I tore the soul out of a good wife; I neglected my duty towards the greatest things God gave me, children, all just to have my fling of life; and now I am at the beginning, starting all over again at the beginning, cannot win against the things men call law." Here is good thinking material for young men and women. No human being in this world has ever escaped the consequences of a wrong decision, but der. The world may not always know, but like Banquo's Ghost, every wrong comes back sometime, somewhere and to somebody. One millionth of an inch change in the course of the Sun would set the whole solar system out of gear. Camets and shooting stars, tearing through space are but the result of some deviation of bodies, often millions of years old. Every wrong must meet at some judgment seat sooner or later. The young man who decides to get something for nothing; the husband and wife, selfishly pleasure bent, who snap their fingers at the sacred ties of matrimony; the capitals of the city over wanderer human beings; the Judas Iscariot who sell their Christs; all come some day face to face with the eternal fact, that you can't beat law and order. Wherever you are headed you will go unless you stop some where and sometime to start in another direction. And as Walter Cronkite never too late to start in the right direction. To "Get" Sandino By WM. PICKENS We have been boasting all over the front pages of our daily papers about the number of "direct hits" which the bombs of our war-planes have struck. We have been telling just as soon as Sandin's soldiers (or "bandits" a la New York Times) made one "direct hit" on a few of our marines, we yell like hell-fire and send off a great force of armed boats and men to seek out and destroy those internal dials who had been sent there on a harmless mission to kill Nicaraguans, especially of the Sadino crowd. The poor "simp" who wrote: "Bright makes poorly simply ought to have been put in an insane jungle, just like the fellow who put his coat on backwards. For it is plain that might makes right. See how much more of a crime it is for the weak to kill soldiers of the mighty than for the mighty to kill soldiers of the weak. We would doubtless behave himself there so far as we are concerned, if we would let him alone. Our soldiers, on the other hand, are thousands of miles away from home, hunting Sandin, as if he were a monster. Lindbergh was just about to make a good impression for us in Latin America, when here comes our military spoils and spills it all. It looks as if this Nicaraguan bomb was timed to explode under that Pan-American Congress in Haiti, but it was utterly. If Sandin did not, he is a smart fellow.

Although a thinker and a doer, you don't think much of him. Mr. Wilson broke down trying to ride two horses both going in opposite directions at the same time. He tried to please the democratic party while attempting to up to justice, honor, liberty. Can a man serve two masters at one time? Every great man who has touched the democratic party came to grief. Cleveland, Tilden, Wilson, and, since a few judged him great, Mr. Bryan. Mr. Wilson got to the White House via New Jersey who thought his probation satisfactory. As soon as he got seated good, his party began whispering to him "Remember Lee." Wilson wanted to remember Jefferson, from whose university he graduated. Colonel House told him to try remember both. To know men, know history. Not to know men is not to understand government, the offspring of law. Young man, read, read slowly, DAILY! Until his "Woodrow Wilson" appeared, Ray Stannard Baker's fame rested in "Following the Color Line." "Choose well your subject," said Tacitus. On other day Mr. Baker made a brilliant speech on Wilson in Albany. Read a few of his thoughts: "We may, then, upon such an occasion as this, ask ourselves what Wilson's principles will be, our essence to them, whether the need is any difference for the new problems of the day, and whether we, gathered to honor the man, are likewise prepared to follow him. "The more deeply I study Woodrow Wilson, the more clearly I think I grasp the secret of the man. It was a genius for the inner realities." "Wilson's power, in large part, lay in the fact that he expressed so completely what may be called the great TRADITION of the race, in which its social and political ideals, its ethics. Coming from Mr. Baker, 'traditions of the race' is good. You are in that 'race', its religion, its social and political ideals; its whiteness, its race; so well our white people stopped the experiment and called out the Ku Klux. Mr. Wilson's party found him too hard to control and lead him like a lamb to the slaughter. White House Cake Gov. Alfred E. Smith, of New York, who took two fingers of whisky and almost broke up the G. O. P. of his state, celebrates his 54th birthday with a miniature (small likeness) of the White House. The saying is, as Gov. Smith recalls, that you can't eat your cake and have it too. As near as Mr. Smith will get to the White House will be more interesting to Gov. Smith on his birthday than the pretty cake were the few lines addressed at him by Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of the Klan, who uses the pages of "The Wizard of Oz" for his foundation of that famous magazine, would like to have read proof on the Wizard's article white sitting in heaven doing nothing. Get Mr. Page's Memoirs and read them. Wizard Evans takes no ordinary pen in hand when about to write these warm, interesting words. We find a chasm opened in the democratic party to which there is no bottom. We find an absolute division between the native American-minded Protestant dry and conscientious democracy of the South and west, and the alien Catholic boss-rules, wet nifflies and the cultists with priests instead of consciences. We find that a condition has arisen in which the eastern democracy must become Americanized or it will condition. An condition that will "wreck" the democratic party will suit you, will it not? To the Wizard Gov. Smith replies: "I hope those few lines will find you the same." If Mr. Porter have much to show his wife and children, he must have much to show his wife and children, gets home. The Protestant North will let him leave the Protestant South and eae him up. Religion is the power behind the wheels of human progress. The PROTEST country. Only a Protestant country would have abolished slavery and as when it was abolished in the U. S. A. This writer would like to see a Catholic in the White House. But likes, like tolerance, is one thing, facts another. Our country is the other Protestor nor Catholic but entire RACIAL in religion. The "race" Klan grew in the South. The RELIGIOUS Klan grew in the North. Put away feeling. Look at what you see. Except for a short visit no Catholic will be seen in the White House during the life of the venerous American. A bitter pill to swallow but one rolled by facts. Fighting At Home Now and then you read of some prominent colored citizen getting ready to go to Europe to represent you at first one gathering, then an announcement of male participation of brotherhood and so on. Frederick lougss could tell him he is throwing away time. After Douglass, Mrs. Stowe and Henry Ward Beecher had labored long in England in the cause of abolition, that country turned up on the side of the Atlantic. THINK your condition through. Sit down and think. The U. S. is your stage. In every scene of your life the curtain goes up and drops on THAT stage. During war, war liberty, freedom, DELIVERANCE of your women, your experience is here. No distant human power can help or change the "tedious hours." In December 1860 William H. Seward, speaking before the Union Society in the old Aster House in New York said: "There is not a state OUTSIDE the American Union that I like half so well as I do the State of South Carolina. . . . and I am very sure that if anybody was to make a descent upon Louis Napoleon, or the Prince, or his mother, or the Emperor of Russia or Austria—if either of them were to make a descent upon the city of New York tomorrow, I believe all the hills of South Carolina would pour forth" population to the rescue of New York. Read that over again. That is your case when you come home. You make ALL white people mad when you cross the ocean to talk about any of them. Unless you hold the book crowd to reason, mother of common sense, you will be in the wilderness longer than necessary. King Of Kings Once again the Jew, his money, intelligence organization, solidarity, but, above all, his EMA, announced the president of Briar Britha, announced that the Jew, Christ "King of Kings", have agreed not to present the picture in certain European countries because it would bring on anti-Jewish demonstrations. The nice of the owners', many will say, Very nice, as long as the owners' are not talking. Most likely the "owners" are Jews themselves. If not, then Jewish money backs the Jews, and the Jews amusements, groceries—these Jews control. Touch the Jew and you begin counting money. All the pictures that hold the "Nagro" up to ridicule, set his countrymen against the Jews, and out of prejudice, even prejudice aimed at them. You know the story of the Jew who offered midsight to the Klan at a figure away below anybody else. You know how to live well without physical labor. if they know anything about the notorious picture from Dixon's "Clansman" Jews saw nothing wrong in the picture and leading groceries, leaving money for protest" so that popular interest increase the door receipts. You live and learn, as you see. Christ is not "king of kings". He was never called by that name. God alone is "Lord of God" and Jesus is "Lord of the proper name for Christ? Jew know and will never permit it to adorn a picture. It is, as written, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the JEWS." Jesus is the king of the world, although his throne is the market place. Your ancestors started out with him but grew tired. Maybe you can go along with him from this Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough. Beyond that expect the editor's blue pencil. "Reading maketh a reader man, writing a writer." Scribbles are prides of good faith, it will not be published if you so desire. Dr. Bragg Disagrees With Mr. Roscoe Simmons On The Method Of Prayer. To the Editor: In your issue of January 7, Mr. Simmons ventures to give the following advice: "Take your eyes off the lines in the Prayer Book written by man and man, the Lord Jesus says: "Out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil blasphemy, pride, foolishness."-St. Mark 7:21-21. GEORGE P. BRAGG, JR. But Nothing But Receptions, Teas, Dances And Laughs We Noted On This Fraternity's Official Pre-convention Announcement. To the Editor: In your issue of December 31st, you published a very interesting letter, written by Dr. O. Wilson Winters, of Morristown, Pa. In this letter you describe the experience of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, like many other persons, agree with Dr. Winters. The "Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College" campaign of the Alpha Phi Alpha is undoubtedly of incalculable value. I cannot understand now any one could class Dr. Winter's fraternity as "College Dance Hounds". It is the consensus of opinion, that the Alpha Phi Alpha rarely dances and then only to select aggressive students, think that Alpha Phi Alpha was unjustly accused. Thanking the doctor for the dignity shown to the deserving Phi Beta Sigma. Fraternity, through the simile drawn between Sigma's Idolism and that of Alpha, I truly wish him suc- BENTON GIBBS, Brooklyn, N. Y Surprised At Lack Of Knowledge Of Current News Among His Friends.

A newspaper must meet the demands of the masses, as there are many classes of intelligent people, newspapers need the financial support of the newspaper's philosophy, humor and ironical jokes give color to monotony of business items and current events. If Any Attack Upon Bishop W. F. McDowell was Unwarranted, Certainly That One Was Which Announm Of Being Too Modern in Religious Views To the Editor: The unfavorable attacks that have been published and broadcast all over the world by some of the daily papers about the president of the Baltimore Conference have done untold damage. Not only to the man that has proven himself a friend and brother, but it is embarrassing to the local churches. When we notice it here, it is a sign of great danger. When that some of the leaders of the Baltimore Conference have gone on record, as being afraid to champion the cause of the Bishop, is a leader of merit. I appeal to you, and kindly but firmly ask you to help us this way cause. I know if it is possible to do anything in this case, you will find a way or make one. 0 Bellmen In Disie White Hotels Are Reminded Of The Example Of Joseph. To the Editor: I regret to have read in your last week's paper about two Nebro bellboys who were castrated and cars chained to Mississippi mob. Having been a bellboy, I wish to admonish those who work in southern hotels. If by chance you are enticed by white women, consent thou not, and if it is necessary, flee as did Joseph in old days when he was enticed by the king's wife. There are white men who will marry Negro women as did Rhinelander, and there are some who will use the Negro women to satisfy their hustful passions, and if they fell suspicious of a Negro man and a white woman, they will go beyond the law to try to crisify him. The beast of the field and the birds of the air have their hiding places. The white woman has the protection of the law, but the poor Negro woman in many of the southern states has not. J. L. GIVENS. Not Fair To Criticise Any Movement Which Strives To Make Better Feeling Among Men Merely Because It Does Not Take In Every Form Of Intolerance. To the Editor: A copy of your excellent-publication was sent me, doubtless, for my attention to your editorial entitled "Toleration" in the issue of December 31st. You are perfectly right when you maintain that the problem of intolerance were not considered under the banquet the recent dinner. There is, for example, the racial intolerance of whites toward the yellow race as well as toward the black race. The banquet could have been called appropriately "White Tolerance Banquet." It aimed to deal specifically with the misunderstandings that exist among white and black Seminaries of faith. As to the intolerance against the Negro, I can assure you of my unqualified support in doing anything to overcome it. Only last week, I was sent to the Seminar of the Congregationalist. Churches of the United States addressed the conference at its meeting in New York City and as a member of the Findings Committee. I insisted on a specific mention of finiteness in solving industrial problems of the Negro. As chairman of the Social Justice Commission of the Central Conference of American Rabbi, I have been involved in our support of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Cap Ports, am ready to consider and support at all times the efforts to wipe out the intolerances existing between men and women as well as between men of various creeds. In this I ask you to be a member. There are so many types of intolerance in the world that it is unfair to criticise any occasion of movement which strives to make for better living in a better frame of mind not take into account every phase of intolerance. As a matter of fact, through the fellowship that was fostered by a meeting such as the Tolerance闸闸 movement, in a better frame of mind to oppose all intolerance. You are to be complimented on the journalistic prestige which you have established for yourself. RABBI EDWARD L. ISRAEL Har Sinai Congregation, Bolton and Winston streets. Ebony Philosophy. To the Editor: An exhenter was heard to use these words, "If you haven't anything, you don't get anything. But you have something." Now work and save brethren and you'll be able to "hath". Our failure to save is like our failure to grasp a religious faith—Tomorrow is the day we will need it. A used Ford offers more comforts today than imagine a Rolls-Royce will five years from now. Fire and brimstone are cooler when we think of them as receiving us ten years hence. But alas! They are not what we want, what was future is present—and life is a on what was there. Therefore, we are not justified in doing as the man who sold his stone on circus day because the winter was far off, but the circus was here. LINOTYPE Birthdays They are all good linotypers.

Contradictions Brooklyn Reader Collects What He Terms Many Contradictory Statements In The Bible. To the Editor: Rev. P. A. Rose: Referring to your letter in this column of January 7. Nicodemus came to Jesus by night, but I call on you in the open. The writers of the Christ Bible may have been upon us! No person with a medicine of believes that a God who is pictured to us as, "all wise, all powerful and merciful," would deliberately create man, and by reproduction, we would have been given water, eventually. He would, have to pour (the Flood) water on them and drown them like rats. I do not know what time God took such a life, but surely it succeeded the Flood, for we live and Gave us the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever would believe on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."—Bible He gave him, "blue pen," it is necessary that I abridged this letter. It is Christian Bible the "word of God," or is it forgery? If it is the word of God, then explain the following: SELF-ADVERDICTIONS OF THE BIBLE God is Satisfied With His Works. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. (Gen. 1. 31.) God is Dissatisfied With His Works. And instructed the Lord that he had made man on earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (Gen. Vi. 6.) Man was Created After the Other Animals. Man was Created After the Earth after earth his kind, and cattle after their kind. God said. Let us make man... So God created man in his own image. (Gen. 1. 25, 26. 27.) Before the Other Animals. And the Lord God gave to the man should be alone; I will make him helpmeet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them unto see what he would call them. (Gen. 1. 18, 18.) God is Seen and Heard And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt partse. (Ex. xxxiii, 23). And the Lord said unto him, face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. (Ex. xxxiii, 11. And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him. Where are thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid. (Gen. iii, 9, 10). For I have seen God face to face, and my face is thou. (Ex. xxxiii, 30). In the year that King situped I died. I saw also, the Lord situping upon a throne, high and lifted up. (Is. vi. 1). Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abi and Aaron, and Esau and And they saw the God of Israel. They went up, and did eat and drink. (Ex. xxiv, 9, 10, 11.) Ye hath neither heard his voice, at any time his shape (John v. 37). And he said he can cause my face; for there shall no man see me and live. (Ex. xxxii, 20). I am no man hath seen nor can see.

BY LEWIS K. MOHILLAN There are four facts in West Virginia which make educational conditions different from other southern states. The Negro in the state has the ballot and in practice at least of some political power. McDowell County's Negroes are almost a third of the total. For the whole it is a democratic center. About 8,000 Negroes Chimneystown with a population of 70,000 (app) and many elected by as few as two hundred votes, can serve as legislature, two from McDowell County Capehare and E. H. Harper), and one from Charleston (G. T. Nutter). E. H. Harper is a member. 12 Pupils May Have School A second fact is the policy of the state. Teachers in pupils create a legal demand for a school to any given community. Negro teachers are asked to pay a salary scale without whites. The state has recently funded funds for youths of the race of the state, sist them in the pursuit of professional training, and infested by white citizens for athletic activities of the state, schools for the race. Thousands of them attend A Bluefield daily carried cuts of outlasted players and gave first place to the news of the state. Negro officials are recognized as definite parts of the state, which they are connected. W. W. Saunders, State schools of Negro schools, has an office in the campus of Negro schools with other officials of the state building along with other Negros is on the Trustee Boards of the state schools. This is not true in any other southern state schools. Grading Of Schools A third fact is that an outside association independently grades high schools and colleges, only the state department in North Carolina, asserts that the state department in West Virginia names twelve colored high schools as being in the first division, the North Central Association of Colleges names only two, the Central Association of Colleges names only two, the Douglass High, H. W. Barner, Principal, and the Douglass High, H. H. D. Hazelwood, Principal. There is not another school colored in the state in the class with these schools. The standards of the Center Association are not colored in the class with these schools, telling fat, it is that of a fair-minded whining who is the real head of all state educational institutions. James S. Lakin. This is his attitude toward Negro youth; many white and Negro LEADERS' colleges over at West Virginia Collegiate Institutes have insisted that Bluefield be made an industrial school. President R. P. Sims has opposed the school. It has been seen that, since Bluefield is nearest the black school since most Negroes are laborers, the school should be made to serve the "actual needs of the people." Lakin holds that the duty of the state first, foremost, is to give a cultural training to all black students to meet changing conditions and to live as much He holds further that industries change with generations and at times more often still. Hence the unfairness of limiting young people to one generation by forcing certain types of training upon them at all. No Second Hand Equipment Largely because of Lakin. Negro institutions are second hand equipment; similar institution is a second hand institution. a fine personal relation exists between him and the colored officials. I saw a letter that he wrote to the State Hospital for Colored Insane, thanking him for his year's service and assuring him that he will open to the people that a Negro can successfully attend. He closes with cordial regards and best wishes to Mrs. Barnett. A few weeks previously, Mr. Lakin was in a visit to another of the state institutions. Six Evils Of J. C. Schools The dual system of education has to fairest test in West Virginia. All the problems and most of the evils which attend the system, as well as the work. As I think now of my experiences in all parts of the state six of these are outstanding. First, waste to tax payers and involvement to pupils. In many respects the Kumulah High school is the best. For there are only 215 pupils in the Jumah school. Many of these boys and girls come from other towns and districts, as this is a district high school. The white high school has every convenience, including separate "gym" and chapel. The white high school has both purposes, besides the building is inferior. Thirteen teachers are employed in the school. Bowing Principals (2)—Second-rate, bowrite and serenity principals hold the day even in West Virginia. Principal Superintendent of New School and Pro-Teacher Superintendent of the city's (white) head of schools who shows definite leaning towards the Kluxers. He has gone so far as to bring the public library under the Board of Education so as to bar Negroes from using it. The Libarian was as justly as she could be in informing me that the Board of Education forade Negroes to use it at all. In her sass she library on that there was a branch of college which, of course, is Blackfield has an elderly man as principal, who is serving his first year. And of course, in the coal fields only certain sorts of school heads are hired or use. (3)—Important and weak public sentiment among Negroes is most common. The people are preyed upon by narrow whites as well as by their own politicians and their own lack of intelligent notions of what the children really need. White civic clubs, influence, intelligence sympathy, and their own lack of children, which the Negro left alone, cannot get for himself. It is an unfair handicap. The contrasts at Charleston is pathetic, but this is the city of an unusual (comparative) number of schooled Negroes. Untrained Officials (4)—Untrained officials and go-betweens are also the rule. North Carolina has in A. W. Robinson, an expert in the high school field. West Virginia has no such man. (5)—Separate schools for colored. Schools is the chief advisor for all the colleges and high schools for colored. The evil he is clear, and could not obtain in a mixed system. (6)—Segregated, isolated heads of institutions are allowed to attend. (7)—Separate schools for colored youth afar a comparatively weak collegiate and advanced training. The Institute has a college enrollment of 482, but 191 secondary pupils are there also. With all its excellent equipment one fails to find a college of philosophy too many things are attested in them. Bluefield Institute Bluefield Institute has an enrollment of 125 in normal or collegiate courses and 164 in high school. Besides the usual handicaps, this school has the unfair disadvantage of unfair competition with Institute for appropriations. The Nerro youth suffers as heads of institutions fight for their rights. Mixed schools in West Virginia are the one solution to the present problems. Do You Know? What European language is most underspoken? English is the most widely spoken European language. It is estimated that 160,000,000 people speak it in France. French come next, being spoken by about 110,000,000. 100,000,000 and 70,000,000 people respectively. Spanish and Italian are spoken by about 30,000,000 each. Chinese leads all the world in number of individuals, 41,000 whom it is spoken. German is 40,000,000 people speak Chinese in its various dialects. Look And Learn 1. What is the most popular of all flowers? 2.

"Indians has crested on himself with his courage, the foremost colored actor with his original, spontaneity and unsurpassing shuffling of feet."

New York of the Prince of Wales could dance like that; there'd be some reason for the fuss that is made over. Coming to U. S. in May.

When we asked him which of all his stage experiences stands out, it was his engagement at the Star Theatre, Wiley Ave. Pittsburgh. "I was singing a song called: I Love the Lads; but I got homeick for chicken, and I was fit for engagement, so quietly bringing my way back home with all the money I had—eight dollars." His first appearance, he said, was as an instructor at Ford's Open, Baltimore.

Wah-Wah Song Two other facts show that Johnny Hudgins has really arrived as a Parisian star. The original of his songs, the Jockey Bar, a famous cosmopolitan resort on the Boulevard Montparnasse; and the white performers are imitating his Wah-Wah song on the night he received many cablegraphs of congratulations from well-known artists, among them being Dorothy McKinnon. Hudgins says that he is taking steps to stop his imitators. "I wouldn't have to pay me credit, and put my name on their programs, as Josephine Baker has done."

Page Seven Just Baltimore BY OBSERVER Lines On "Buck" Hunt Down in Nashville, Tennessee, out on Centennial Boulevard at 38th avenue, where the old Tennessee A. State college was located, come fashionable "Tennessee State," there are some sad grid heroes this week. According to the papers, he was a captain of three teams at Howard University, died here at the home of his sister without his friends' even knowing that he was in town. He was a World War veteran, and later "taught" in the South. Out at State Normal, however, that was what he did. There in 1922-1923) "Buck" was never referred to as a teacher, although he was officially listed as a teacher. Rather they think of him as the little coach who made them lick the stuffing out of Pisk in the glory of the game. Was on that university's team. They remember him as the short guy who stood on the sideline and yelled, "Get in there and get that man, or I will go good beating when you come out!" He donated a large part of the energy that made Tennessee State's offense so strong and win other victories in the far South and be recognized as one of the "teams" down home. All knew that he would not mounce words on the ball, but he did and well directed kicks for the fellow who didn't play his part well. Baltimore and his alma mater, Howard, may think of Hunt as their coach. But the South, but State Normal, which has now become fashionable "Tennessee State," will remember him as "coach," who had strong adjectives like "fine," "old boy," for the man who played the game.

EMMA MAITLANE LEARNED BOXING FROM 7 BROTHERS Butterbeans Breaks Down And Gives Secret Of Tight Pants Comedian, In Exclusive Interview Tells How He Got' Name And Also Life Partner Page Eight PASSING IN REVIEW B7 WILLIAM GIBSON Education And The Stage Somebody's always criticising something or someone else. It seems at times that all the world is made out of is criticism. Now criticism, the art of judging, is not necessarily of detrimental or destructive nature. Constructive criticism, it is said, is welcomed. So I'm passing along a probably often-heard matter, but one which was forcibly brought to my attention not long ago, and you may take it or leave it. A friend of mine said to me in all sincerity that he believed that next to a certain group of ministers there was more ignorance to the square inch among people than among any other group that he knew. I differed with him strenuously, and later I did a little sleuthing of my own in checking up on some of the arrangements he made. I found out several interesting things. I was principally interested in comedians and chorus girls but carried my investigation even further and safely said that among the women of the stage there is a much higher percentage of them with ordinary and more-than-ordinary education than girls. Girls are usually kept in school through the primary grades and some go into high schools and graduate. There are some who go to college and the intelligence level among the women is found to be higher than among the men. Men usually quit school earlier, the great lack of education among the men of the stage, notably among comedians. I have been observing this class of girls and don't think I am biased when I say that the general run of intelligence is at a low ebb with them. I am thinking principally of the girls who are boasted that he had been on the stage for a large number of years still referred to himself as a "comedian," he certainly was not a It may be all right to say that the intelligence of these old men is to be taken to whom they play but they are graduating into faster company each day with more opportunities. Little time is spent in trying to improve themselves and consequently to attain humor which they are familiar either the vulgar or the obvious. Professional Standards Actors have prided themselves on their "profession," but they have in so many instances neglected to see the world. The most recent is coming when the numskull actor with a can of cork and a grain of two of inherent humor will be pass. No one is advocating for the numskull on the part to raising themselves from the level of scum. We have some college men who are now comedians, others filling various parts in shows and a variety of other education, but the number is yet far too small. If the applalation "profession" is to be attached to the work of the comedian, themselves to be worthy of the honor. Now We Are Thirteen With all due apology to A. A. Milne we wrote the above caption, however unlike Mr. Milne we are not greedy. This column has been blessed with understanding readers since its inception. Yes, the three of us—the limotype operator, the proof reader, the writer of our welfare. But now we are thirteen. Just the other day we happened backstage and saw ten AFROS and the readers were reading our review and our column. No. We did not talk, but, we did get one of the nicest new typewriter ribbons you ever saw. Ten "Toby" Shows With Irvin G. Miller producing ten shows for the T. O. B. A. theatricals and showfowl's something with his own shows make him the outstanding choice for this big job One has but to look at "Brown Skin Models" "Desire" "Brown Baby" and his showmanship of this race Ziegfeld. It is distinctly recognized that the standard of present T. O. B. A. shows must be raised as merit box-office reaction that manages their and producers desire above all else. With Miller at the helm and with ample financial resources decided success. It is unfortunate that the Nero theatre lover must suffer for want of good standard productions such as Ziegfeld's Folies-Bergamote. Once upon a time when the Smarter Set Company was in its prime the race looked forward to its continuation with the Smarter Set were numbered. After a lull, along came "Shuffle Along" and "Runnin' Wild", but they were but of a moment in business and forth but seems to be withering. All of these productions were usually at downtown white houses and Negro saw entertainment from choice vantage points. The shows were usually too large for the colored houses, so they were charged for such big productions were beyond the reach or will to pay of the colored theatre-goer. A solution seems to provide that it can be accommodated in the average Negro theatre at a price that will not run the customers away, so that it can be accommodated to toward that point. It is a mighty nice thing to be able to say: "I feel certain that I am going to see a show." The calibre means a lot of hard work, but it would mean a box office rejuvenation if we could have dependable men strewed shows either. We believe the T. O. B. A. and Mr. Miller are on the right track. And by the time something for the girls to think about. In a recent interview Mr. Miller attested much of his work to show how he has talented girls as a background for his principals. There's a hint, girls for, for at least 100 girls who are, good lookers and 100 girls who possess; ability as --- The STAR Call VE rnon 6016 MAITLA Breaks Down And It Of Tight Pants Interview Tells How He Got Name so Life Partner The old query "When are pants not pants?" and the comeback, "When they've tights," might easily apply to Jodie and Susie Edwards, or more accurately to Jodie. What you don't know the genie man? Perhaps you know him better as "Butterbeans," for such he is, and Susie is none other than the second half of this season. Butterbeans, Jimmie Cooper's pocket jingle, "Butterbeans," a native of Marietta, Ga., started in the show business. He did what, that time, was termed a 'pickin' blit. He was only a youngster then, but by his singing and dancing worked himself up into faster company. He was a talent, and he travelled his travels he met a little brown-skinned girl who answered to the name of Susie. But as he travelled about the country he did not see her often, nevertheless she was always on Meet With Ma Rainey But (as the poet would say). Fate brought them together in 1913 when time Susie Hawthorne, the girl, and "Butterbeans", the man, met with Ma and Fla. Butterbeans, Fla. girl, who had been doing vaudeville work, found something attractive about "Butterbeans" and this mutual attraction led to wedding bells in 114. Edwards worked with Tolliver's Smart Sats and the two beaten woman go work with Butter May (String-bells). Turpin Names Butterbeans Edwards, who had been wearing his skin-tight trousers had beengetting a little more comfortable awhile with "Stringbeans", became to be called by some people, "Stringbeans No. 2". It was Charles Turpin, who binge the comedian "Butterbeans" to distinguish him from "Stringbeans" and that name has stuck to him unimaginably. "Butterbeans and Susie" ever since, and the two have created for themselves a permanent niche in showcases on their clever husband and wife act. Confesses Pants Secret "Now about those trousers." I said, "How in the world do you ever manage to wear rubber?" And here a tear came to the comedian's eye as he broke down and confessed that the trousers were as the trousers of any other man. "The trousers that I wear," he explained, "are nothing but cast-offs for my wife makes over; to fit me in a skin-tight manner. I take any old suit, and after frequent tries at fitting it, I get it right. Then Susie sews it and makes it as you see it on the stage. A special method of getting into my trousers? How do you get into them as I would get into my own. In fact, he did it with about the same speed that a collegian would use in donning his Split Once "I did have them spit on me once," he declared. "It was while I was playing an engagement in Toledo Ohio. Of course, I had to run off the stage, but lots of people I met. I can bend down to the floor with these with perfect ease," and he removed all doubt about it by doing it before my very eyes. So the secret is out.

REEVES, JR. WASHINGTON—A mule made him famous. S. H. Dudley, pioneer theatrical owner, producer and actor, became the stage's most popular comedian back in 1904 when he led a mule on the stage, as a part of his act, while a member of the "Black Politician" company. The show at that time was under Gus Hill, white, of New York, one of the founders of the Columbia Circuit. Thousands of theatre-goers and lovers of the stage have wondered why a mule, who had wits enough to train the animal. But, folks, there is no story to it. The whole thing is that the best idea what the result would be. Mr. Hill at that time had fourteen shows. He had shifted the mule from a to a boy to McFadden and it did not fit in any place. So his last resort was Dudley, who was playing at Cleveland, Ohio. Dudley was mule and cowboy that he was to do with animal. There was a race horse scene in which he gave an extemaneous monologue, but nobody had seen him. But there was nothing to do but try the scheme, if it flopped, it just flopped, thats all. He marched the horse and the house went wild. It was a hit; a decided hit, and one that has lived up until the present time. The success of Dudley the mule was killed accidentally country and he soon became the riot of the comical world. In 1907 Dudley joined Dave Marion, another white producer, and continued the mule act. From 1904 up until 1917 exactly fourteen years. Dudley had four children, while being removed from a railroad car. The other three died. The significant thing about Dudley and the mules, was that none of them had a name. Too, they were not Born In Texas Dudley was born in Dallas, Texas and started in the show game while a very young man with a "Medicine Show" outfit in 1895. Two years later he joined the "Nashville Student", a show under the direction of P. Wright. In those days the P. Wright co-created one of the best in the country. Retired In 1917 Dudley retired from the stage in 1917. One of the first things he did was to help organize the T. O. B. A. or the Theatrical Owners Booking Association, which operates as a bookstore in hundreds of the tab shows throughout the country. He also owns the theaters here and in Petersburg, Va. Race Horses Among his other interests are ten race horses, the most widely known being "Bible," and the "Maid." He also purchased several years ago, one of the largest apartment houses in the city, and has one of the largest schools of miles of the city at Oxen Hill, Md. There is one child, S. H.

Ducking Blows Of 7 Brothers Starts Girl On Ring Career Emma Maitland Gives Up Music Book For Boxing Gloves With Aurelia Wheeldin Makes Successful European Tour. When Emma Maitland was ducking and dodging the blows of the seven brothers to whose mercy she was subjected in a Richmond, va backyard several years ago, little did she dream that she was hardening and preparing herself for a puglisi- booking agent saw her picture in the offices of Billy Pierce. "Can you get me eight girls like that?" he questioned. Billy replied that he could, with the result that a contract with Rouge and Miss Maitland was put in charge of the girls, who included in addition to Miss Maitland, Martha Glichrist, Sybil Turk, Frances Smith, Amelia Wheeldin, Day Bookkin, and Laura Womble. One of the girls was forced to remain home the very day the group was to sail. While the revue was being staged at the Moulin Rouge, Miss Maitland, who had found that Aurelia Wheeldin was also athletic, suggested she attend a boxing exhibitions, which she had found to be a popular act for women abroad. The pair began intensive training, taking gymnastic exercises and training in boxing. When the "Tea For Two" girls got ready to return to the U. S. A, the Misses Maitland and Wheeldin announced that they were not returnees. The girls met their own managers, not a date in Milan, Italy, where they put on their first exhibition. For two and one-half years they traveled doing various women boxers who accepted their challenges. Act Is Liberative The girl's dress, the numerous dancing acts of colored and white Americans abroad, and feeling that the field was overcrowded specialized with their boxing acts but on occasion came out to singine. During their stay abroad they traveled in Belgium, France, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, and Germany and found hospitable and warm surroundings. For some bouts they received as much as $200 for three minutes fighting in addition to the extra money that boxing fans would present the winnings. They revile, declare that after they make a tour of the United States theatres they desire to return to Europe and possibly go to Africa. "The women are so afraid of the sport, but once they want to give it up," they won't want to give it up.

Miss Maitland's nose has been smashed once and both boxers admit to cauliflower ears. Regular training keeps them in condition for either boxing or they have come hardened to the punches and fabs.

SUCCEESS Negro Play Listed In Year's The Morgan College Dramatic Club will make its first bow of the presentation of Lewis Beacre "The Goose Hangs High" at Elks' Auditorium. Attaining a new mark in college dramatics, the club's offering is灵动 from Broadway. The three drama, which throbts with the jazz tempo of co-eds and youthful colloquiality, a solid year to New York audiences has only recently been released to amateur groups. Story Of Play In the matter of theme the story focuses on the excess of frotty collegiate rite on the part of real soles beneath the dross when faced with a problem that demands sacrifice. William McLeod plays the story, the father who deduced himself and the daughter to enjoy the best that the colleges offer. He works as tax assessor in a small office, a charm that plays little attitude. Noelle Henry plays the part of the wife. The two collegians are Edward Carroll and Geraldine Tongue, who combine in making the father's school at the holidays they pester their parents for cash for everything imaginable, clothes, parties, drinks and accessories. In the meantime the school of the city government and the father's position is in jeopardy. Angered, he resigns suddenly and fights off the attack to take off and no other position in view. The outcome, however, is not an entirely tragic one, for the son and daughter are taken to the cause of dropping a little cheer at home and adding to the family larder. Cast The cast includes several players who were in last season's productions. Mrs. Dorothy Thomas-Young.

It has leaked out in a maze of use and downs which has overtaken the popular "Charleston" dancer that Prince Roussé-Kalam of Zambia, has lost his heart to the brom beauty and has offered his hand. It is also rufified that "Jo" is acting very much like someone else, so be a surprise at all if she becomes the Princess of Zambia. Is Cultured Gent Prince Rousselbi-Klam, his apparent to a large domain, is highly studied at Eton and Oxford, where England trains叔-gentlemen. So he is to return to assume his duties as head of his government, and because of the royalty requirement, his subjects to have, it has been suggested might have come down through a long line of descendants running back to the principality itself. In fact, the Prince, himself, is staggering to prove that she is the great king of Rousselbi-Klam. Makes Paris Home While the Princess would have to accompany her husband back to his court, she would have been sentenced at court, and other formalities pointed out that the Prince's subjects are not averse to having their rules of pomp and style in European cities. "Jo would therefore have the privilege of being princess and also living in Paris, where she would could assume as a star, at least in social circles.

SIMON SIMON THE CYRENIAN NOT BLACK-DE MILLE Producer Would Have Given Negro Role In "Kings Of Kings" Had He Known QUIZZED BY ATTORNEY Not Sufficient Historical Foundation, Says De Mille By GEO. PERRY HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Exclusive, P C N B.)-Although the $2,000,000 Cecil B. DeMille's pictorial story of Christ, "The King of Kings," was produced at a daily show in SIU, the university which was expended for Biblical research by the studio staff and nationally known authorities on Jewish history, no foundation could be found in history to subsist on the legendary Sinai slave from the Temple, a black man, states Cecil B. DeMille in answer to query by Curtis C. Taylor, prominent attorney of Los Angeles. Mr. Taylor wanted to know whether the assignment of the role to him from DeGrasse "was overly or simply part on or the part of those responsible for it or was it as is so often the case, a deliberate attempt to take all credit and all worthwhile achievements away from him and put it on the shoulders of those who entitled to it. "I am surprised that a producer of your rank should allow such an inexcessable error in historical facts in so great a production as the 'King of Kings', writes Taylor. Mr. Doille, Reply. Replying, Mr. Doille writes, "I appreciate very much your interest in writing me and in reply wish to assure you that I am entirely in sympathy with the position you take as to the work of the Black Race in literature. "In the case of Simon, the Cyrrenan, (The King of Kings) you state that most careful student of history knows that he was a black man, but I cannot find any foundation for this statement. There is much legendary data on the subject, but no fact, at least none has come to my knowledge. It might be said to be a possibility, and had sufficient evidence to it, would you have been very happy to have the character of Simon played by a black man."

Wilberforce University Aud Toledo, Ohio One more week north and The Trail will carry us southward! But before we take the leave let us have one more good look at our native Pennsylvania and a brief visit to Ohio. Pennsylvania's musical progress within recent years is largely dependent upon the contribution made by Harrisburg previously alluded to in an earlier column, Pittsburgh, and, of course, Philadelphia. Pittsburgh's music evidence is perhaps the most conspicuous, not the weak in- portant. Many musical affairs have been launched in that city for some years, but the impressions I gathered from the advance advertisements were that the musical attractions savored of the mediocre and evidenti- ness too weak to stand up without the aid of the dance orchestra to put it over. But this is happily no longer the Pittsburgh standard. This last fall three artists were presented within a month, either of national consequence or of a national calibre. This, one of our somewhat crowded arrangement and a new one, demonstrates to what lenting a thing will go if someone just starts the ball. Personally, I shall look back at my Pittsburgh baritone recital in Schenley High School with much affection, for it was splendidly organized by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Oversee Psi Fraternity. Sewickley "Y" The Sewickley, Pa. branch of the association gathered together a modes and enthusiastic group for a concert, which there was an after-concert, one and the same evening, in which a considerable number of vocally and instrumentally talented local people were invited to be impressed at the scene of the talent. Wilberforce And Toledo There have always been one or two individuals at Wilberforce University who have treated me with great cordiality on occasional visits over a period of seventeen years. But an agreeable attitude of a few individuals toward an outsider and a sound institutional musical policy have little or no connection. I am a friend musically to Wilberforce, as really all musicians at Wilberforce, that that she is capable of far greater musical strides. The trouble, it seems to me, is that she does not have enough concerts of high calibre by visiting artists. She has enough concerts of high school calibre by visiting artists. She has been advancing though within recent years. Toledo, Ohio At Tolcado the inevitable happened contrary to prediction! A splendid and apparently appreciative audience turned out in what had been previously called an unmusical town!

Leslie has secured the premises at Lake W. 57th street, and converted them into a theatre for those atre pleasure seekers. The club, christened Les Ambassadeurs, was to have opened Thursday night, but due to what was called 'some trouble with writing' those who turned out were turned back.

The entire company was there and there was nothing barred except the blues and the dozens. The inscription on the cake read 'Our Susie'. Mr. Dudley lit 40 candles on the cake and said he had the cake was too small to hold them. Susie said she was twenty-six but we couldn't understand this as she has been in the theatrical profession thirty years. "Miss Blanche Calloway was hostess and Madame Tolliver and other guests.

His friends and admirers turned out in force and crowded Salle Pleyel, the largest concert hall in the city. The audience, composed largely of English, Americans, and the social and musical elite of Paris, gave him an uproarous 'welcome at his appearance, perhaps eclipsing any audience in America. His repertoire consisted of English, French and German songs, and services, and his recent indisposition his voice seemed even better than ever. In the German love songs, particularly, his voice had all the charm and sweetness that won instant favor when he first sang in America after his marriage abroad. Encore after encore was necessary until he had responded eight times. But it was the singing of the spirituals over which the audience went wild, and "bravos" rang through the hall. These numbers included: "Done Made My Vow," "It's Me. O Me," "Ring Dem Bells," and "Cammethin." At the finish of the program the audience kept its seat to a man, and began to call for its favorite spirituals. Hayes sang several and ended with "Crucifixion," a spiritual in which he is at his best. At the close hundreds flocked to shake his hand backstage, and when last seen he had right hand in his pocket and shaking with left, the first having given out under the pressure. As one of his admirers who was eager to shake his hand was heard to say: "The kindest thing would be to leave him alone now."

Norwich town. Reading, or anywhere else in southern Pennsylvania. The box office and the ticket agencies staid off riots of people insisting upon seeing "Show Boat," and finally you had to preserve credentials to be allowed to 2.93 stand nearly three hours and a half. Meanwhile the chorus gaily sang and danced through the haunting melody of I'm gwine to love one man till I die. Can't help lown' that man O mine'. Liberties have been taken with Edna Ferber's delightful novel, and hideous liberties with the costumes of 1880. But the changes in the text are pleasing; was too bad to kill off the delightful book, and the Hawkes, as the author did in the book. So he remains, delightful to the last, and the debonair Gaylord Ravenal returns in the last act, chastened and silver halred to his successful wife, and no less successful daughter, leaving a good taste moment to the spectator. Other than that, the author, the editor, and it is good to note that the Julie incident—the lovely octoon Julie is kept intact.

WITH MARY BRIAN A GREGORY LA CAVA PRODUCTION "Running Wild" Little Excursions "Fish gotta swim The best work of the play, of course is that done by the "Jubilee" Singers and dancers. A delicate way of indicating to the patrons that some of us were careful with Vodory and done was careful piece of music that chorus. Beside them the "Ladies and Gentlemen of the ensemble sound thin and weak and poor. The singing of the jubilee chorus is not only fine, but their acting is well done, natural, easy, graceful, and their dancing is exhilarating. Thru the whole play Julius Bledsoe's rich voice weave a melodious obbligate. He does not character part, and he does not overdo it. Naturally, to us the interest in "Show Boat" lies in the part played in it by our folks, and they play n. mean part. A mystery seems to surround "Queenie". On the program she is billed as "Aunt Jemima", and behind that famous pseudonym hides a very good actress, with a mellow, sweet voice, and spite of her obvious two hundred pounds. "Aunt Jemima" should come out in the open. "Show Boat" will doubtless be another Broadway success, depending upon its Negro artists for its best scenes. May there be others.

WHITE ACTORS KICK ON MIXED BOOKINGS Accept Date Rather Than Face Poverty NEW. YORK—White performers, playing independent circuits that book for race theatres, have registered a kick against playing on a mixed bill in Harlem theatres. They complain that they are booked into these houses without any previous information as to the character of the audiences they are to play or without any knowledge of the back-stage conditions which they describe as "not only unfavorable but distasteful." Mixed Bill The theatres to which they are sent are usually houses playing one, two, or three-day stands, and using a number of vaudelle acts on the bill, the majority being colored acts. The actors say that they sign their bookers and that the theatre managers for the types of shows they know, or at least believe, will please Harlem audiences. A theatre manager who went up to Harlem to spot an act, and subsequently went back stage, is quoted as describing conditions there as "not what the average vaudeville tolerates. One girl is said to have used a man's manager to dress her dressing room, much to the detriment of her 'temperament'. Face Poverty These white performers who are loudest in registering the kick are the theatre managers offered them. Poverty that they are forced to accept the starvation wages that small theatre managers offer them. Regardless of their previous knowledge of the theatre in which they are to work, they must play the date or invite the wrath of the booking office and thus jeopardize their chances of getting another engagement.

ARNOLD A thirty line space which appeared in the AFRO in the form of a straw ballot in its issue of December thirty-first shows according to the number of votes given President Coolidge that he is the choice among AFRO readers for the presidency. Governor Al Smith who is said to be the strongest man the democratic party has to wrest the presidency from the republicans made a show unequaled by Vice President Dawes and was led by only a few votes by Ex-Governor Lowden and Secretary Hoover who are both the vice president with the issue the Afro will carry a straw ballot for four consecutive weeks, thereby giving its readers the opportunity to vote for their choice to president in this strate campaign. The total vote received up to date in the campaign is Coolidge 29. Lowden and Vice President Dawes 14. Governor Al Smith, the only democrat to receive a vote, was given 12, two coming from the state of Pennsylvania, a "rock-ribbed" republican state. The vote given Governor Smith shows that there will be thousands of Negroes who will vote the democratic ticket next November in the state, is no nominated by the Democratic National Convention. The writer has been told on numerous occasions by those who are close to the republican committee that much apprehension is noted among the big sticks. It is no surprise that Smith's being made the standard bearer of his party. Rumors are current in Washington and New York that republicans are doing more to block the nomination of Smith than the Klan and dry cemetery. It is also rumored that orders have gone out to the lily whites in the South to cease their hostility to Committeeman Ben Davis of Georgia, and Perry Howard of Mississippi to state legislators in the state become estranged to the republican party.

He elected to tell the truth he elected to stay three years ago when he first went to take charge of the Old East Street school which was one of the first to be placed in charge of a colored principal. Up to the time that he entered the wilds of East Baltimore the schools had been manned and womaned; too, for that matter, entirely by whites. He walked in with about 135 pounds of bone and muscle and a couple of tons of flesh. And so big were the boys who attended the old East Street school in those days that two fat policemen were posted regularly at the door for emergencies. It was a common occurrence to search the huskies when they reported for school and remove a razor. He was also a teacher who helped to instill knowledge into the heads of a gang, who besides being dense had an aversion to learning, the teacher of 35 years ago had to fight three times a day. ... Punishing children in those days didn't consist of tapping them with a ruler on the hand. It meant taking off your coat and doing just what Gene Tunney goes a toll for. It was a toll for the rest of East Village, but that isn't how he got his title. He got it by going through the Hell infested redlight district that surrounded his school and making the parents send their children to school, and when they didn't have clothes to wear, he would get them. He would get them, and then he would clean up the "Devil's Kitchen," as the section was known then, than all the police on the force. That's one reason why they call him "the little mayor." 300 LISTED IN GIRLS' ENVIRONMENT COUNTS RESERVE MOVEMENT MOST, SAYS LONG Many Take Advantage Of Recreational Program Offered At Y. W. C. A.

A. caters to older girls and women who are "younger girls in business", young women employed in domestic service, and business and professional work.

Howard H. Long, one of the assistant superintendents in charge of colored schools, made this declaration before the Schoolmasters' Club meeting at the Y. M. C. A., Saturday night. He added, however, that other intelligence tests showed that Northern whites colored were ahead of Southern whites.

A large number of these were born of eminent physicians, and the percentage of 16 such eminent persons could not be found at all, he said. Mr. Long's conclusion was that environment counted more than heredity or any other factor in the intelligence quotient. Discussing the importance of public for public school purposes, Mr. Long said that tests in reading, writing and arithmetic had been found sufficiently significant for oratory purpose. Mr. Long answered a question of Mr. Gough McDaniels by saying he knew of the tests showing comparative intelligence tests because they had been taken them longer, Mr. Long said almost 10 per cent ought to be allowed to practice and after three years Accompanying Mr. Long were Assistant Superintendent Eugene Clark and Smith Wormley, principal of Randall Junior High School.

Ga. — Morehouse College turned in its fourth straight victory here Saturday night defeating Howard University 21 to 27, in one of the most thrilling and colorful games seen here this season. Led by Captain Coates, who finished as the individual high scorer of the evening, the visitors got away to an early lead and at half time were ahead 18 to 15. In the early stages of the second half, Howard resorted to the "freezing" game in an effort to keep the locals trailing. A brilliant pass attack later gave the Tigers a 24 all back with the Brown In Ahmed Brown, a letter man of last season, went in at forward, shifting Captain Sapp to guard. Then the Fireworks team had to locate the locals had pulled away to a three-point lead. In the final minutes of play. Howard fought strongly to catch three shots from the rear as the whistle found the fray 31 to 27 in Morehouse's favor. For Howard, the entire team functioned well, taking three points dribbling completely overheated Morehouse at times. Yet the playing of Coates at forward, who took high point home, deserve special mention for their contributions. Johnson at guard also played well. For Morehouse, A. Brown was the outspoken leader, literally turning defeat into victory in the last five minutes of play, scoring the last seven marked ties by team and defense from Hammond. Supporting him was Traylor at forward, who subbed for Crawford, another tower of strength in the Maroon quintet, offense, who was to discontinue because of personal N. C.

LE COUNT CHESTNUT With the same incisive directness and snappy tone, differing only in volume from the staccato barks with which he gave out his signals when playing quarterback on the old 1950s Howard faculty, the writer told this interesting reminiscence in his office on the "Hillop" not so long ago. As he confured up the past, the writer's mind went back years calling up the image of a tough little bantamweight with sharp ears and a big smile, working out how to work worting around the field bundled up in a big white sweater with the old time deep rolled neck fittling collar, the vogue of that day and time. And at the same time there jumped up and out of the ground images of those grid heroes of Howard's team: "Gap," Washington Holmes: "Jake" Fox, "Bumpus" White, "Gap," Washington With the same incisive directness and snapping volume from the staccato barks to the eleven degs, R say not.

He jumped up and out of the ground images of some Howard's earlier days, who served with Holmes: Jones, Leigh Whipper, Canis. The writer's mind was quicki The writer's mind was quickly called back, however, by a sharp thought uttered by Dwight, who despite the years that have rolled by, the thinned hair,prominent in his career, has a piercing look not withstanding the horn-rimmed glasses, looked but the bantamweight boy of wagerer. Holmes, in this writer's mind, one of the most resourceful and bruny quarterbacks, who ever drew on a cleated shoe, has made good in life. He has "carried the ball" to the basket, one plunging athletic training to later life ought to prove both interesting and instructive as he sees it. "In my day, I feel that we overdid the physical side. The physical values, which should result normally, would have come more perfectly in my life had the team been under the pressure of the great breakness, due to this unfortunate lack are now apparent to me. "In moral effects, however, the greatest benefits are felt in the later life of an athlete.

True Prof. Holmes' life has been an illustration just such values as he claims for athletes. He has cliently and unselfishly. For 3 months after gradu Louisville, he joined the Army and centerfielder of the Howard varsity and captain for a in 1902, he went to Baltimore high school as and football coach. Later he became head of the s vice-principal. In 1911 he became head of the had Holmes' work been, that when Howard Univer a registrar's office in 1919, the old quarterback was team again.

From this union there is one child who is now a senior at Dumbar High School. Wash beminning the fact that Young Dwight "Apparently bitions." Said the father, "I can't understand it."

Where They Play SEASIDER Bright Holmes' values in after life of competitive athletics, just so sure am I that the moral realm their values cannot be questioned. Fair play is what one needs to develop for life, in the spirit of community and dedication to full development. "Those who fight hard, and can even take a drumming gracefully in their school day athletic life, may be depended upon generally in later years. Indeed, the spirit of athletics is the great leveller, the great motive force for democracy in this country. It goes even beyond school competition over into our national athletic life; the only realm where in more than any other, narrow racial lines and bigoted prejudice are put to rout. Witness baseball contests and prize fights as an illustration. In the bleachers and in the scattered seats, temporarily forget narrow separation and commune and converse freely and spontaneously." Truly Prof. Holmes' life has been an illustration of the realization of just such values as he claims for athletics. He has served humanity efficiently. He has served the nation with great distinction. High school and coached the baseball team, for Dwight was also centerfielder on the Howard varsity and captain for 2 years. In 1802, he went to Baltimore high school as an instructor in science and football coach. Later he became head of a science department and head of a mathematics position. In college, he studied psychology at the Miner Normal School, Washington, D. C. But so marked Holmes' work been that when Howard University decided to develop a registrar's office in 1819, the old quarterback was called in "to run the team again." Again in 1821, he stepped up and became Dean of the school of education. The subject of this sketch was born in Lewiston, West Va. November 15, 1877, of the union Rev John A.

Interesting, too, it is to note, that this is but another instance of the numberless sons of ministers who make good, contrary to the popular re Now the story is done, except for this. The writer left Old Dwight bemoaning the fact that Young was under "attention." He would rather dance attendance upon young ladies than even look at a football game. Oh well! Neither can I. Nor can countless others understand why children vary so in likes and dislikes from their parents. At any rate, though Old Dwight has the heritage. You can't tell when he may look out.

Kueston Talks After a few words of welcome by President Hueston on Thursday, the able Indiana jurist threw a bombshell into the meeting by delivering one of the most inspiring addresses of the day. The ballmen and in this address were some recommendations that even surprised the older members of the league. The president showed clearly that he had not been so "dummy" when he addressed the ballmen that he had been able to sense faulty situations to such an extent that these recommendations relied the owners of many things that had embarrassed them during the past few years, and was met with a five-minute applause. Among some of the matters hit in the president's address was the conduct of the bait plague that was carried on the payroll, the mime situation, the raising of the entry fee, the subject of fines and the caliber of men confronted. The speech was accepted by the committee appointed by acting President R. T. Jackson, who took charge during the address of President Huston.

NEW YORK—Because they are said to have used ineligible players in league games, the last three contests played by the Carlisles of Washington, members of the Eastern Basketball Association, were forfeited to its opponents at a meeting held by the officials here Monday. The trouble of the Washington team came before the meeting when Jack Caldwell, business manager of the association, asked Manager Timpson of the Capitol Records showing the lineup of the recent Carlie games. The unmistakable guilt of using ineligible players was clearly shown. Although the man at fault was not present it was unanimously decided to award the last three games that the games have played to their opponents. Lose All Games That means the Carlisles have lost all games played to date and puts the Vandals in second place. It also means the second and third place respectively of leading scores. The action taken against the Carlisles is positive. The Carlisles will not uphold the wild-cat tactics of players or managers. It specifically states in the league by rule that players in before the second scheduled league game. The Carlisles have played four games to date and as yet have not remitted a players list, although they have received repeated warnings. Cut Fees Referees' expenses and fees have been reduced. Before the fee was $10 for ordinary league games, this amount was limited. Limitations on expense accounts have been reduced correspondently. These items thus far have put the association in a very embarrassing position. The players have not met their obligations and the ten per cent extracted from the gross receipts has not been sufficient to meet their requirements. Play Hubbard.

Requested To Petition School Board Unless pressure can be brought to bear that will persuade Assistant Superintendent Coleman to modify his ruling on out-of-town athletics to fit the needs of colored schools, competitive athletics will be killed so far as Douglass High School is concerned. A ruling of the school board makes it unlawful for any school to enter into competition with any out-of-town unified team can leave here after 2:30 p. m. and return on the same day. With the exception of Washington and Wilmington, Douglass High is the only school in this order, as is impossible to compose this book and play Booker T. in Norfolk or any of their other competitors. Night Games Suggested Assistance superintendent Coleman suggested that play at night, but this is not in accordance with the practices at many of the schools. The ruling does not affect the schools in the way it does Douglass because the former several right in the city and can form a league among themselves Douglass is the only one in its class and has therefore requested that the school be reconsidered the ruling. The School Board is expected to reconsider the ruling. An almost similar ban confronts the football team for next season, as Mr. Coleman has proposed the games and week-end games would in this incar a financial loss as in most cities collegiate games are being played in this section.

The Lions and the Bisons have been meeting on the gridiron for forty years, and within the last decade the annual contest has become a national feature, drawing attention by the Pennsylvaniaians annually. Last year at Philadelphia the attendance was estimated at 20,000, and said to have been a thankless game in the history of collegiate football. Wilberforce The Wilberforce matter, which has almost resulted in a break between the two teams, probably be settled at the meeting of the Athletic Council next Friday night. On account of the intense rivalry, the games are held in November when the big machine quit, the field, with just four minutes to play, the famous basketball court, where the local schedule this winter. For this reason, the Ohioans may not come East at all, although they have a tentative game pending with Morgan. C. I. A. A. Trouble Although the Athletic Council heard from the officials of the C. I.

As it now stands, Lincoln and Shaw are the only two schools standing from the standpoint of eligibility rules. Watson Max Be Be-elected In all probability Louis Watson, coach of the football team, will be re-elected to the council meeting Friday night. During his three years as coach, he led a championship eleven, winning national honor in 1925 and 1825.

Howard was but 5 yards from Shaw's goal line. I barked, as I thought, the signal for old "Bill" Bailey, our left end, to take the ball and go around right end, a sort of crisism. "Now! The ball was snapped; part of the Howard backfield started around right end, but to my amazement, no "Bill" Bailey came." Big Jack, our fullback, immediately sensed my blunder of a wrong signal. We field a glance, and saw the right end of Shaw's line all sucked in. We were in the best bevelled grasp, and dashed around that end for a touchdown, just grounding the ball as the final whistle blew.

TBALL College vs Aia Panthers (City Elks) BALTIMORE TEAM The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly By AFRO SPORTS ERITOR More Seats Bleachers in New Albert Auditorium, most uncomfortable in the middle, 600 fans at weekly basketball games They are never crowded because women find them too difficult and dangerous of ascent, because the circuit variety; that is a number of parallel boards raised one foot above the other from floor to ceiling, taking up one full side of the auditorium. There are asles and the side pieces hidden in the middle of a woman spectator would break a limb or hurt her through the space between the boards to the floor being covered. Lack of asles means you crawl over somebody's legs and head to get a place to sit down. Lack of side boards and foot rests, mean you put your knees in somebody's back and step on them. The man in front either sits between your knees or on your feet. You can take your choice. You, your partner either dangle your feet on the teachers or you put them on the seat between the three folks in front of you. In Case Of Fire In case of fire. I would not like to think what would happen to New Albert's crowded bleachers. If such bleachers are in keeping with city fire regulations, then I still object to the fact that I can fort it too great for any body not furnished with hunks of fat or pneumatic cushions. Better Seating Baltimore is a basketball town, 1,000 spectators at a basketball game is the usual thing. 2,000 attend the game. Better arrangements to make these cash customers comfortable and at the same time provide them with a chance to play. The game would mean a doubling of baseball crowds within a year. The New Albert I trust the New Albert management will not feel that this is de- signed to feel like the Hall. The hall was built and planned for dancing pur- poses. It is a creditable building and creditably managed. As we learn, we think they should be perfectly erected or torn down. That's that. From Wilberforce University From Wilberforce University comes this letter: In the recent issue of your paper dated December 24, on page 18, we wrote to Wilberforce University Mirror relative to the recent Wilber- force-Howard game. "The account of the game as it was played," we take taken from the Hilltop 'which we criticised unfavorably. If you will note again the article in The Mirror a statement will be found to that effect. The article in question has a flattering account of Howard's victory over Wilberforce. We copied it in the newspaper and carefully "sporting" it was of one college to speak well of another. As the letter intimates, we over- looked the graph which we should have inserted. "The following account of the recent Howard-Wilberforce game appeared in the Hilltop, the official university publication of Howard University. To the public note the statement: 'All the Howard men starred.' A team of all stars should be champions. The contest ended with a forfeit of $1,000." In our issue of December 24th, we said because of this article—"Our hats are off to Wilberforce"—with the insertion of the above paragraph, we put our hats on again. Rough The Athenians came out of the Elks' game with four casualties. Black Hockey, with a bad knee from last year, hurt in an auto accident, and rehurt again this season twice, with two others, is out with twisted legs. Wyatt has a gouged eye. The Greeks accuse the Elks of unnecessary roughness name "Soup" Turner especially as one Elk who twisted the legs of the Greeks. Wyatt was under the doctor's core, and carries a finger nail mark over his injured optic. If the court game gets rougher, it will be necessary for men to wear shin guards, shoulder pads and head gears. Watch The Panthers Coach Drew's Morgan Bears meet the well coached Philly Panthers here and around their PJs or QJs on defense. The Elks got through Morgan's defense in their first game, but Wheatley and Brown pulled themselves together to get the head and "Rapp" Wheatley has a basketball head and "Rapp" Wheatley has a physique which is the envy of athletes. The Elks know "Kapp" weakness of going in the air everytime a forward bluffs a shot at the basket. Elk players then ducked underneath his arms to shoot a goal. The Elks play heady basketball. The Athletics in their prime have only won two out of seven games from the Panthers and have never defeated the Quaker boys on defense. Yes. "Lanks" Jones' gang have a tough job ahead of them.

'Pop' Warner's Indian Brave Just Plain Colored NEW YORK.—"Pop" Warner, one time coach at Carlisle Indian School wrote for daily papers the other day some football recollections. He recalled one James Johnson, a quarterback, who while he may have had some Indian blood was just plain colored as we judge things today. Johnson later studied dentistry and went to San Juan, Poro Rica, to practice. He was in New York City last year and spent some time with a great friend of his, Dr. George Chester Booth, prominent colored dentist of Harlem. Johnson has been picked as an all-time American quarterback. He was a very small man never weighing over 135 to 140 pounds as his best. Pop Warner, writing in the N. Y. Telegram recently had this to say:—"We have a lot of Indian foes, and we have 1800 of the civilian team for the second time was invited to play on the Pacific coast. A game was arranged with a team of stars called the All-California team, and we played on Christmas Day. On the way to the coast the Indians stopped at Salt Lake City and played at the University of Utah, often easily. Johnson our captain and quarterback had been chosen All-America by Walter Camp, and because there were some very high class quarterbacks about that time, the coast sporting scribes were somewhat doubtful about the wisdom of Camp's choice. Naturally there was great interest in seeing this little Indian in action against the West coast favo- I had had some trouble with Johnson over a matter of discipline on the trip. His substitute, Joe Baker, played in the game against Utah, and Johnson was very much peeved at me by the time we reached San Francisco.

H. U. MEE QUAKERS DAY NITE SATURDAY Before the team went on the field I was giving the players their final instructions. When I spoke to Captain Johnson individually regarding the game, he said, "I will be here if I never see your ball game!" I immediately told Baker to take his place, but the players pleaded with me to let Johnson play. I let the boy take his place. He played the best game of his career on that particular day. He was in every play, caught and ran back punts as few men have ever done before or since, and handled his team in such an inspiring and capable man. He was the best player in the mistake.

In a colorful nip and tuck struggle that thrilled from start to finish, the Athenian basketeers, trailing until the last four minutes of play, started a rally and, with their marshmenk shooting with deadly precision, registered enough points to give E-22 victory over the Elker Big Five at the New Albert, Friday night. Long before game time the auditorium was packed, the local factions had been fighting. The Elks were the first to score when "Teeney" Brown registered a free throw. "Scrapy" Brown scored the net and "Teeney" garnered two points via the field goal route. Jackson, Athenian captain, crouched as he watched the ball for one the prettiest. Aaron shots made during the game. Game Gets Rough With the score now 5-2 in the Elks' favor and with both teams guarding closely, the play became a little rough. Referee Gibson called the play as roughness and a technical foul on Capt. Brown. Bruce, Huckett, lanky Athenian, began to warm up and was here, there, and everywhere, and then sent in for "Teeney" Brown at forward. Simpson netted one for the Elks and "Scrapy" Brown, eluding him, for a second, shipped in another. The Athenians were doing some good passing but their forwards were neglecting to get off quick enough for the under-basket shots. Turner guarded and the fast pace was telling on both teams. After time out twice the Athenians began to take the ball. Lewis nabbed one field goal each. Allor was sent in for Lewis, who got a severe jolt and Thomas went in for Veney. The Elks' marksmen were covering men and their guards were covering up and smothering a number of good plays. Both teams missed some good; the basket and when the half ended the Elks were leading by a 14-11 score. Fast And Furious Wyatt started the ball rolling in the second frame by counting with a neat short shot and Allor looped one after sneaking through the Elks' back in the game, marshaling back was in the game, marshaling and the "Scrapy" Brown-Simpson passing combination was working effectively, with "Scrapy" on the scoring end. Lewis went back in for another pass, and the eye, and with the chunky forward back the Greek offensive seemed to take on new life, and Allor tailed with another one when he slipped away from both of the Elks' guards. With the Elks leading by an 18-17 score, and with the stands yelling for a score, "Rufie" Hackett slipped for a score, and the stands placed the ball in the basket. The took time out here for conference. Keller, who had been substituted for Thomas at center was replaced by Simpson himself, and the guard. Inspired by his previous shot, Hackett sank another basket from short range running the score. Simpson himself again, and dropped one himself again, and dropped one.

The final nine caught both teams batting in the Elks' territory with the score 25-22. Hackett Tops Scorers Rufus Hackett. Athenian tip-off, led the scorers with four field goals and three fouls, for a total of 11 points and "Scrapy" Brown with three field goals and one free throw over with points.

It all depends on her height of course. If she is five feet seven inches in height she should weigh according to the McCoy Table, 12 pounds. If she is 5 feet 5 inches her normal weight is 134 pounds. If she is 5 feet 3 inches she should weigh 127 pounds. It's dangerous to be always striving to grow thin — the Adirondack Mountains and health resorts everywhere have women who will tell you that it doesn't pay to be too thin. That is why so many thousands of underweight men and women are putting their faith in McCoy's Table. McCoy takes all the risk—Read this ironclad guarantee. If after taking 4 sixty cent boxes of McCoy's Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes any thin, underweight man or woman does gain at least 5 pounds and underweight woman does marked improvement in health your drugstreet is authorized to return the purchase price. The name McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tincture has been shortened—just ask for McCoy's Tablets at any drug store in America. Picture 4.

Von Schlick, herb specialist and manufacturer of the famous Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea, tells people that almost all diseases are caused by impure, poisoned blood. When the stomach is sick you feel miserable, you are conscripted and the poisons go into the blood. When the liver refuses to work the poisons go into the blood; when the kidneys are weak and out of order more poison is found into the blood and the result is that your body is sick all over. For many years I have been telling people sick with disease caused by poisoned blood, that my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea gives relief to those who suffer from stomach, liver, kidney and blood troubles. I say to every man and woman that suffers from sickness to try my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea—millions of people will use no other medicine—they know that the roots barks, leaves, herbs, plants and flowers are pure and help to make them well again. Go to your drugist today. Tell him you want Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea. He will be glad to supply you because he knows it is good medicine for the sick. It costs only a few cents. Doctors and druggists everywhere recommend my Bulgarian Herb can take to kill the remedy anyone can take to kill "Flur", Gripe or Pneumonia. Kill your cold with a hot dose of Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea. Just ask your druggist for a box today or I will send it either by mail or large family box for $1.00. or by mail G. O. D. just pay the postman. JOPEA MARYLAND --- I'M SORRY BUT YOUR NAME'S NOT HERE Picture 5.

FREMONT AVENUE MADISON 6236 Passion's Price A Serial by LOUISE CAMPER Page Sixteen WHAT HAS HAPPENED Dick Lee, a Baltimore youth, receives a letter motifying him that he has a half-sister, who has been father to Jim Scala. Scala was shot to death by a dying man who bore him an old grudge. Dick Lee, convinced that the girl is an illegitimate child of his mother's, sends for her to make her home with him. He finds that she is extraordinarily beautiful, slangy, a habitue of Chicago's dance halls, cabaret, and theater. Dick further finds that Luana has been swept into a life of passion with Joe Liebertini, white of Italian parentage. He determentally tries to keep her as she has started to live and break the affair with Liebertini. And now Cutie Lee, Dick's younger brother comes home from Atlantic City. It was the day after Labor Day when Cutie Lee was in Atlantic City, where he had entertained all summer. "Well, look who here," he greeted Luana, "The little Love-Child." Then he added as he caged her, "Were you a face like that and you had to be kni to me." Luana Lee looked Cutter over then burst into a nagle of laughter, like years and I don't believe you are any kni to her, she gigged. "Believe it or not, Luana, the biological throw back is our brother," contributed Dick "Altho, personally. I often wonder what circus lost him. He has, I think, a mother who couldn't at before breakfast. Cutie Lee joined in the general laugh as unconcernedly as though they discussed another person. She was a violent sort of ugliness, but it was an ugliness that people laugh with, not at. His head shot up into a peak, his eyes were too close together, giving him a look of a rather good face. He piled up his of his head like handles of a recap, and as for his nose and mouth, well they were all wrong. Nature indeed had pretty nearly ruined him; but suddenly on ply on the poor misshapen face and had slipped into his heart the gifts of laughter and song and ever since, Cutie's life had been one loud laugh and a syncopated joke. Cutie wore his ugliness like a sailor wears his little white cap, rakishly, sportively and with a dare-devi air, and all those who didn't like it could go—well, you know where. What's more Cutie use to wear was as popular as our suit at a beach. Consider his girls. He had 'em everywhere, in Baltimore. his home; in Washington, where he went to college; in Manhattan, where he specialized in a course in night life; and in Atlantic City, where he played his violin and sang, or plucked the banjo-mandolin and danced. He had as many girls as a chorus girl has with him. "I believe in the laws of balance," explained Cutie. "An ugly guy like me, can't afford to step out with homely girls." In Lansing, he gave her a good long look. Among other things, Cutie was an expert connoisseur of feminine beauty. "Listen kid, you're too good to stay in the house. I'll have to take you out and show you the toy you found you up on that," returned the flippant Luana "I dare you to do it." "I'll do that little thing this very evening," replied Cutiate. "Here, please tell me." said Luana. "Never you mind where," said Cutiate. "Just slide a little chow and leave the rest to Brother Cutiate. Luana gave him his dinner, and he ate an unbelievable amount then washed it down with a chill pitcher of lemonade. Then he bathed, filling the apartment with the sound of his voice, yelling jokes to Dick, who扑了他 onto the floor. That did him. Such was the nature of his information that Dick had to close the doors for tear the Society for the Preservation of Good Civic Morals would be. He shaved, dressed, polished. "How do I look?" he asked, which was unnecessary for he knew well enough how a man of his peculiar anatomical, incongruity looks when arrayed in a living room. Then he invades oxfordes and a white, floppy Panama hat. He called to Luana. "Wait for me, kid. I going to see my nice girl. Then I will be with you." He whistled for Luana. She ran down to him, gaily. Her eyes shone with excitement. Somehow or other Luana believed that time was capable of making it. She was dressed like a senatoria in a wide, lacy frock that looked, in the darkness, like a giant skull. Over this skull had thrown a cloak of satin. Cutie gave a low chuckle when he say her. "You're all right, kid." was his compliment. They took it in stride. Before a quiet little house that looked as though it had already dozed off in sleep. It was only two stories high and had its green shutters snugly closed. "Your big timers have gone to bed," complained. photograph. "Don't fool yourself!" said Cutie. "Every shout eye is not asleep. Cutie knocked two raps on the door with his knuckles. A small child answered. "Mister Cutie, she squawed." "You home?" and turned and scampered back up stairs. Cutie led Luana down a dark hall, then pushed open the closed door. Lights and the sound of her laughter flashed around, a half dozen or so couples dancing in hugged tightly against each other. "Hello, Gang," yelled Cutie. Instantly pandemonium broke loose. They all fell upon Cutie. She kissed and embraced him to the point of suffocation while the men thumped him on the back. "Here, you wild women, let me loose," gurgled Cutie. Air was shriek and laughter from all sides and cries of "Cutie's home!" Cutie finally came up for air, mopping a face turned red from his effusive greeting. "Lord, you women, he moaned that they can't eye at me!" Said Cutie, fetching my brand new suit. "I'ts she a knack-cut?" "Why. hello, everybody," she said simply, as she ploughed asplained to she had made a seshess "Her name's Luana, and she's just from Chicago, so step high. Folks. She the kid a good time." "He paused to throw his arms around a slim little girl. "This. Luana, is my one and only sweetheart. Florine Fulton. She's a regular little thoroughbred girl in the world to me, but the trouble is, she's just as sweet to so many others. She's my baby, alright, but a lot of the other guys call her mamma, too. Here she is, so many of her fingers are scowling. Florine laughed at Cutie through eyes that were almost closed tight. "That's why I love you so, Cutie. You tell such nice les." "She's the girl of complexion usually described as light which means that she was neither brown or blonde, but some sort of an near whiteness with a strong undercurrent of tan. She had a great mop of fuzzy hair which was beaded bright eyes, which had a way of closing up into slits when she laughed, which she was constantly doing. For the rest of her she was little like a little average a hundred volts of pep to every ounce. Goover, she kept Cutie Lee in a state of interestness, which is saying a lot. "Come on, Luana. I'll knock you down to the men. I can see they are all excited over you." A semi-circle of stags stood with look-wait- the-lord-has-sent-us expressions. John Clippe, Buddy Oliver, Ace Williams, Sonny Jones took their bows. She was blooming like a wilted flower clipped in cool water. She drifted into loo- cled arms to dance. He crushed her too tightly for comfort and insisted upon humming in her ear, but she was happy, anyway. Call VE rnon 6016 Th n's Price LOUISE CAMPER • stopped. "Let's have a drink, for a starter." "Sure," agreed Luana "What kind?" "Name it," said Clips. "Orange Blossoms" said Luana, "I love that." John Clipps yelled to the Gang, "Say, there, come out in the kitchen. This girl's going to mix us some Chicagoo drink." They streamed in the next room. Some book caught a punch bowl. They filled it with cracked milk sprinkled it with sugar, poured in orange juice. "Where's the gin? asked Luana. It came off the hips. They sampled it. Good. The party picked up speed. The girl's crocking her finger to Tom Grew, who was the tallest, brownest, and swiftest man in the hunch. "Let's dance." Eyes turned to Rose Hill, who frowned a little. Tom and Luana danced, cheek pressed against her lips. She slow 'blues' music, at times not moving at all. Tom's arms made two tight bands around Luana's waist. She looked at that, "meaned Rose to Florine. "I knew the minute she popped in here that she would get somebody's man. And it had to be mine. "She struggled," advised Florine. "When a woman that looks like that calls for your man, let her have him. You can't stop it, anyway." "Who is she, anyway," grumbled Rose. "How'd she get there?" "God knows she don't look something like him." "Forget it," said Florine. "Take a drink." Rose took her advice, brushed between them and scooped her up. "Chips, Buddy Oliver, and Ace started a crap game." Luana brushed between them and scooped up the dice. "How to make these sugars bumps get, like cirseus spots," she laughed. She rolled silently, like the men in Sealak's den. She neither pleaded nor coaxed, but she sneaked up to the table and tucked her Libertini's rings flashed on her brown, slim fingers and dangled from her ears, her finger nails, whitened, polished shone in the gas light. Her slim body crouched like a reed sent by her fingers, and she looked at her then a sound escaped her "Ah, hah, hah." Then a wild laugh. "Now, I've cleaned you." She tied the money in a handkerchief and skipped off. Let's have some 'rickeys." They followed her like children in a game follow the leader She sang, danced, shook the brown liquor, flirted their glasses. and they liked it All but Luana circled Tom's head with a bare arm, held her glass to her lips. "Take it easy." Rose. "Take it easy." whispered Florine. "Take another drink." Rose took two. Luana swirled away. "Play, somebody," she commanded. "I'm going to cute strummed a wicked tune from the ivories. Luana raised a frothy dress. The band twisted to the launcin music. The Gang applauded, cheered laughed. The noise was mounting now. More and more trips to the punch bowl on the kitchen table. Stopping the Blues Away." Heels clicking, soles, tapping eyes flashing, body twirling, Luana danced the blues away. More, more, yellow the hair, although her face. Her hair curved in damp rings around her forehead. "Alright, here's the Snake Dance. Can you stand it!" The ayes had it. "What's something slow, Cutie played Oriental Dresse?" "Can't do it in this wide dress," said Luana, so she peeled it off and threw it in the circle. Stood slim and sleek in a slik skirt. With the music, she crouched, then came upward slowly, dreamly like a snake coated out of the skin. She winked, then danced flower in the wind, twisting, shudding, undulating, writhing. Music strummed and she answered. Not so much like a snake now, more like a slave girl like a slave girl dancing to charm her master. Brown arms high, fingers snapping, body swaying, lower, lower, lower till she stopped, head bent back to the floor. Cutie discovered the Rose couldn't stand up straight. Neither could Williams, nor John Chippeau. He couldn't stand up, the dining room, Piled them up and laughed. "Look at the dead ones." Oliver came over to Luana. "You're sober," Oliver said. "Whaasmatter with you. Ain't you human?" "Nope," answered Luana. "I'm a fish, I swim in gin." "Here, little gin-fish," grinned Tom. "Have some oxygen." They took turns handing glasses to her and Launa sapped it up like a blotter, between hectic giggles. "She follows," said Thomas, the quiet one. "You'll kill that girl." Luauna giggled hysterically, "Kill me, kill me. I'm going to drown myself." She ducked her head down in the bowl and quaffed and came up with dripping face. The audience received a scold from the audience. The audience picked her up, inverted it over her head and gyrated first on one heel then the other. Screams of applause. She slipped, fell lawfully to floor in a sheer raincoat. The audience was dumbfounded, uncertain whether to applaud this big stunt or not. Oliver first saw the drops of blood coozing from her forehead. He yelled lustily for Cute, who ran in cautioning. "Shut up, dunce, you want the police in here?" He wiped away the specks of blood. "Only a few scratches." But Luana slept on. "Passed out." commented Cute. Ice did no good, neither did water, neither did fanning. So Cute called a "Lemme help you." proffered Oliver. "No," growled Cuttle, "One drunk's enough." Getting the inert Liana up the stairs to their apartment proved a task for the muscu- ter, who was glad to see Frank Carson come tipping n. "Say, Buddy, give me a lift here will you?" "What's happened," whispered Carson. "If she tried to drink up in East Baltimore, said Cuttle. "Take hold of her feet." "Shh," warned Carson, with an expressive glance upward. "She hauled Luiana and dumped her on her bed. Carson regarded the supine girl silently, then turned and tipped upstairs; but his eyes glittered and his thin lips were twisted in. She hauled Luiana and dumped her on Dick awakened by the noises, came in the room. He gazed on the figure lying there, sodden, unconscious, with matted hair and streaked face. Redolent of liquor instead of the per- formance of a few hours ago. A fallen, swolled magdalene. "And in five years, what?" asked Dick of hindsight. "He could not find a satisfactory answer, so he lit his pipe, sat in the darkness, trying to think it over. To Be Continued BEAUTY HINTS Winter time with its ever present clouds of dirt and smoke, play havoc with the complexion. The soot wedges its way into the pores and makes ugly black pimples. Then too, the snow is creeping up the cremosed look of the great majority of pedestrians. A cure for this condition is found through the meal-wash. Use a good facial soap "Sayman's or your favorite and mither with the meal. This cleanses and the friction starts circulation and drives out the blackheads. Re-ends it to finish the cleansing process by a quick ice rub. Having no ice, use cold water. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.-South's Biggest and Best Weekly 'The African Saga' 'The African Saga' MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman, Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P. Institution. By Blaine Cendrars. Translated by Margery Blance. Published by Fayton & Clark, Ltd. 6 E. 32nd St. In his interesting introduction to this book, Arthur B. Spinarm point out that the literature of Africa, collected as it has been by miscellaneous authors, has been treated as folk-lore rather than as the expression of the genius of a people. "Only incidentally, if at all, has it been read purely as literature." Blase Cendrars, however, in this volume views stories and poems as literature and translates stories and poems as literature and poet French, striving primarily to preserve their deep and delicate sense of power and beauty. While there is dislike in the translation, one would not guess it in African languages in the Foreword to soft, supple, flexible to an almost limitless degree. These translations like all other translations of African tales I have read, give the impression of a small encapulary, and of a very simple grate, when the reader is introduced to their grammatical principles are founded upon a systematic and philosophical basis, and the number of words can be augmented to infinity. We may then, as we read these stories, bare like a mother, clothe them if we desire in tropical foliage. There are 106 tales in the book, tales of the Creation, of Petish, of Totem, of Imaginary Science, of Adventure, of Romantic Tales, of Huwore, of the African culture, of a writer which in design and coloring copies a piece of African palm cloth. "The African Saga" is a soul-satisfying book. For you alone, O gun, for you alone, I have wounded my "root of an ear" path, I have crossed the rivers and the hills, I have crossed the streams. Laboring all day, through the whole day. This is a part of "The Song of the Gun", from the Masai. The Pygmy Dance of the Animals goes like this: I throw myself to the left, I turn myself to the right, I am the fish Who glides in the water, who glides, who twists himself, who leaps! Everything, everything, everything. In one of the Fan Tales we read this concerning death: "The chief of the men was very much afraid in his heart, for he saw death before him, but he saw nothing seen what lies beyond death? Death is like the moon; no one has seen the other side of it." Some of the stories have a familiar ring, not only Lots wife turns to look back, the Bastuo who was a child in a Cinderella in rags. Litalaane, a Sesuto hero, is swallowed like Jonah by a beast, but in the belly of this animal are the nations of the world whom Litalaane delivers from death. She lives long on, and her two sultons, her father having promised her to he who can first finish洗衣服. The girl knots very short threads for the man she animals may love on the stories, but Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox are conspicuous by their appearance. The spider is an important character and by his slimness and wisdom out. The elephant swings through one treedous tale, becoming in the end the friend of man. There are proverbs in abundance. Here is one: "An afternoon of happiness is worth more than a year of misery." And I close with this: "If you look for dry weather, God will send rain; whether sappon wants to lie, need only speak of the weather."

HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE BY RALP MATTHEWS Thoughts while glancing through the paper. "The object of the vocational guidance department in the public schools," declares Mrs. Ralph Cook, is to dignify labor and make children the vocational." Good idea that—what's wrong with making all janitors wear full dress suits while carrying out the ashes? Dignity is all right in its place, but no matter how many airs a street cleaner puts on, nobody will mistake him for a bank president. It wouldn't be a bad suggestion to make bricklayers keep their fingers manicured and make all truck drivers take a course in etiquette. Dignity is just the thing at a parlor social, but it doesn't matter. The dignified people are often the biggest loaders. One guy we know is so proud of his job that he won't abuse it by overdoing it. Work would be a splendid thing if there wasn't so much of it. We don't know who invented labor, but we wish he had stayed and finished it. Life is a funny thing. A man works himself to death saving up money, and his children go off and take a long rest. Man is supposed to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, and then he can't eat it because his wife is a bum cook. The only trouble with industrial education is the more education a guy gets the less industrious he becomes. The faster his brain works, the slower his hands move. Some birds won't even look in the dictionary for fear of finding work in it. Some quit their jobs at twelve o'clock figurating that a half a loaf is better than no loaf at all. This is Leap Year, which merely means that the open season for husband hunting is on, and every old maid is on the firing line. Many a man who has been roaming carefree on the plains of bachelorhood for the past four years will be brought down on the hoof. Every Jane is ready to jump out of the frying pan of spinnerhood into the fire of matrimony. They figure that a ring on the finger is better than two in a pawn shop. They lure a man into a dimly lighted parlor where he steals a kiss, a minister sentences him to life employment. Of course, matrimony isn't exactly a penitentiary, but once in it's just as hard to get out. Companionate marriage will never be a success. It violates the cardinal principle upon which the modern home is founded—alimony. Many a man enters marriage on the assumption that two can live as cheaply as one only to learn that the grecioman doesn't believe in the theory. Over in Japan when a wife or husband proves unfaithful, the other is supposed to commit whiff. That would never go on here because a husband would have to shoot himself everytime the back door slammed. It would be mighty embarrassing if every time you looked at a pretty ankle on the wife your wife would run home and take poison. Then after you had ended it all when you saw your wife kissing another man the papers would announce that it was her brother. Lean Year will mean another chance for a lot of dames who have almost knocked at the door of the old maids home and a lot of men who have a chance to keep themselves in practice. Some will propose to a man and drag him off the alter before he says no. Before marriage it is called the allar after marriage the husband thinks it is a halter. It is possible for a couple to live very happily, though married, if they can just live apart. The happiest man at a wedding is the best man. He knows what he's missing. Watch The AFRO Every Week For Good USED CAR Bargains THE ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEACO The Largest Grocery House in the World It is very natural for young women to discuss their children, their neighbor's children and their unusual to "listen in" when they are talking and hear them deciding how to control and control children of pre-school age. Yet strange things do happen. The friend, a friend of a county superintendent of schools, stepped in to the tender's office one day for a short time. The two young men after discussing other topics in mutual interest drifted into a conversation about running. The minister related the following: "You know I had a rare experience about a month ago. I had accepted an invitation to spend a week with some college friends. They were about five years old. I was at first very much in the mood for manners, but in the afternoon of the second of my visit the mother told the child they to call upon her aunt and cousin. Whereupon I saw a scene a scene by crying and shouting. I won't go! I don't want to go and I won't go." "But. dear, you will have such a lovely time playing with Donald and that nice new friend he has, pleaded the mother. I won't either; I don't want to play with him. "Don't you want to see Aunt Alice?" "And you make me go Icly and face and scream all the time the child walked as she ran out of the room. "Dear me! sighed the mother. What what I do with that girl? You know Elnore is such a temperamental girl but but she is so temperamental. I never know what I want to do what I wish to her to do. If I her she is just sure to make good her promise to kick and scream most of the time we are there. "Have you ever talked with her quietly by herself about this? I asked. "No, came the rather halting reply, not very serious. I have felt she was not old enough to understand. "Well. I said. I will be perfectly frank and I think she should be broken of such a vicious habit you should at a rate you will not be able to control it. "What would you suggest? asked the mother. "I should tell her quietly that happiness depends on each person's behaving properly; make the others unhappy; that she is to go with you and remember what you have told her! "Well, the mother acted upon my advice. The child screamed. When we returned home the mother said to me. You see it did not do any good. "You have not finished," I answered. You must prove your words. You will be necessary to prove your words. You should wait until morning, as it is now to near bed-time to do anything that may prove exciting. We talked more about it later. We talked more about it later. The little girl of what she had told her and gave her a choice between two kinds of punishment. She furthermore explained to her that she must not use such exciting expressions as, I won't go and I will. "A few days later I heard her again announce to her youthful daughter that they were going to call at that same home. I began Elinore, then she stopped, looked closely at her mother, then smiling went to her and said: "I almost did but not enough to be really rude, did I Mother? I was from these friends today and they said the treatment is still effective and no second punishment has yet been needed." Here is a little problem to try when you are lonesome. It is more than odd and interest set down these figures—1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9. Leave out eight. Choose one of these figures and mull over the result. Do your surprise the final result will be made up of nothing but the first figure chosen. For example, suppose you choose figure five. Multiplying five by nine gives 45. Multiplying five by 55555555 gives which figure is chosen to begin with the final result will always contain nine duplicates. Home Education "I'll Kick And Scream" Mrs. W. B.

PACE Be Careful What You Sign. no matter who urges you to sign it. The ITT may be a perfectly innocent innocent paper of papyrus may subsequently turn out to be your complete undoing. The important part of a thing that is signed, is not that part which is known, because it is in small type or on the next page, or for some other reason it is not read. That is really important, because occupies the position it does — it is earnestly hoped by somebody that you will not read it and too often we do what it is hoped we will do. Your document carefully you sign it, and if there is the slightest doubt in your mind as to what it means then don't sign it until that doubt is clear to you. You may way to clear up the doubt is not by asking the man who wants you to sign, but by asking somebody else. Of course, that somebody else ought know what is meant or intended. For years and years Negrives have been robbed, in the South of their possessions, and in the North of their illiterates, the use of the mark among illiterates and even among literates. Unscrupulous and designing white men have entered into seeming confusion, raised a Negro who had acquired property or who was getting ahead, and after making payment of the small, sums involved, asked for a receipt. Very quickly, the Negro was bearing the Negro's signature or "his mark", as a promissory note for a large amount. And in a Southern court, no defense could possibly avail. But the usual plan is to await the date of death, was known as the earliest and accounts against his estate. I, personally, knew one case in Georgia of a colored man who during a lifetime was known as the Negro, owned ten square miles of land. He owned ten square miles of land, operated a big farm, a store, a ginery and raised hundreds of bales of cotton each year. He also paid the Negro when he died every person in the county, with whom he had ever dealt, presented claim after claim against his estate which the courts of the state were swert away. But the darner to the average man is not along this line; it is in the making of chattel mortgages, the endorsing of promissory notes for loans, the endorsing of a receipt laid down before you. Every one of these things is dangerous. And if you would accumulate an estate, or save for a rainy day, be sure to sign your will. The sure to know is to read over carefully, BEFORE, you sign. DIST.

In this section, which is controlled by the Pocahontas Fuel Company of Pocahontas, both war and after war operations, the conditions are acute. There are 15,000 race workers in a radius of 25 miles. In both war and after war days when the lowest paid laborer received $5.54 for eight hours of work, the poor production bug in the coal loader falls under this amount for a day's work. To crown this low state of affairs he is fortunate to get that five or six days in a month. The coal loaders, who are the only workers in the coal fields called miners, have had their envelopes filled with coal every day and load 25 to 30 cars a week at $1.75 to $2.00 a car. Meanwhile, the five-ton cars have remained in a refuted but living Track workers, motormen, helpers and managers range from $2.80 to $4.00 daily Handicapped with large families in most cases, living in homes with few appliances.

As he put it in an interview, Saturday, "If the other race can make good in transporting passengers, we should able to get fair livings from it. At present the company has six cabs, and in addition Mr. Turner will be able to service when necessary. Five drivers are employed. The Royal taxis are a standard make, being in the service department. Departing from the old flat rate system, they are equipped with recognized types of meters, and are inspected weekly for accuracy. TWO-FIETY WEEKLY Commenting upon his start in the business, Mr. Turner went back to the old days when he came to Baltimore back in 1904. His first job was as a principal salary of $2.50 a week. Some two years later he was employed by a gravel company at the higher rate of $8.25 weekly. He remained with the company for 15 years, spending part of that time with the president as chauffeur.

The Norfolk and Western railroad, which hauls a majority of the Virginia and West Virginia outflows, has more than 300 towns and villages that have almost been reduced to absolute want.

For one to obtain employment he must sign a statement that he is a member of no cooperative movement and has no intention of becoming one. Revolts against this imperialism have been reported in the money controlled municipal governments and company paid police. have been met by closing every avenue of employment to the rebels. Unlike the operators in Western Pennsylvania who advance food and clothing to the race strikebreakers, the Pacific has company and many others who assist others in exceptional cases.
