HOWARD'S $390,000 APPROPRIATION KILLED Havana, Cuba Bars Revolutionary Delegates From Haiti NEWYORKER DIVORCES JEWESS HOUSE STRIKES OUT $390,000 HOWARD ITEMS Lowery, Miss. Democrat, At Usual Pastime Of Making Points Of Order SENATE EXPECTED TO PUT $390,000 BACK House Authorizes Total Of $474,000 For Freed- men's Hospital WASHINGTON, D. C.— The Howard University items totaling $390,000 were stricken from the In- terior Department appropriation bill upon points of order by Representative B. G. Lowery, Democrat, of Mississippi, shortly before that measure passed the House last Friday. Lowery made the point of order against each item for Howard Uni- versity that it is not authorized by law. This is his yearly pastime. Crampton In Charge Representative Louis C. Champion publisher of the book, who was in the bill, considered it hopes to appeal to Lowy to withdraw his point of order. Representative W. W. Chalmers, republican, of Ohio, however, made an appeal to his side press, pass this bill up here in the National Capital a great institution for the colored race. Chalmers' Defense "I know that when I was a student in college in Michigan, I sat in next to a classed boy, and we follow them around the campus in parts of Gaui. I found him a good, honest, hard-working student. "Last month at a meeting of Washington University, Congressional members of the press the speakers' table and eating dinner with Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, the distinguished president of Howard University, gave a presentation to the principal speaker of the evening. He gave one of the most learned and finished addresses I have had the pleasure of listening to. Dr. Johnson, the fine administrator. Any investment that the Congress sees fit to make in Howard University will bring splendid returns. He only said: "I renew the point of order." Howard University which we steered from the bill include the sum of $160,000 for the payments, $80,000 for general expenses, and $150,000 toward construction of a chemistry building. Freedman's Hospital The Interior Department supply bill as passed by the House carried the bill of $74,500 for Freedman's Hospital, and $150,000 toward the bill provides, shall be paid by the District of Columbia. The Federal Government has previously borne the cost of a maid and operating Freedman's Hospital. The items for Freedman's Hospital include the sum of $142,000 for salaries for officers and employees; generation of $22,900. The sum of $150,000 is carried in the building item for an addition to and remodeling a nursery home. The power plant is also be remodeled and enlarged at a cost $20,000. The dining room and kitchen are enlarged at a cost $22,000. The employees' quarters are also to be enclosed at a cost of $8,000. Two new classrooms at a cost of $10,000 are to be installed. Senate To Restore The Senate will very properly restore items for Howard University. The procedure to behavrehe the items have been broken out in the House.

COMMISSION TO HEAR PULLMAN CASE SATURDAY Interstate Commerce Body To Pass On Abolishing Of Tips PORTERS SEEKING PAY INCREASE FROM $72.50 Brotherhood Head Enlists Senators To Set In At The Hearing WASHINGTON, D. C.— (Special)—Complaint No. 20,007 is listed for a hearing by the Interstate Commerce Commission here Saturday. The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, headed by A. Philip Randolph, organizer, have petitioned the commission to abolish the tipping practice on Pulman cars. This practice is said to violate sections of the Interstate Commerce Act. in that passengers are induced to pay charges in addition to those stamped on their tickets, and because of the size of the tip, porters are persuaded to render some passengers higher quality of service than others. In employing porters, the brotherhood claims the company notifies the porters that they will receive $72.50 in pay and $50 to $100 a month as contributions from passengers. The brotherhood declares $72.50 is not sufficient pay for porters and they should not be compelled to resort to professional begging to earn a livelihood, while working for a company only to pay its employees a living wage. Company To Answer The Pullman Company will contend that tipping is a matter between passengers and porters with which the company is not concerned. The company denies that tips are a legitimate expense of that the company requires porters to differentiate in the amount and quality of service because of tips. The company says the real purpose of the brotherhood is to secure increased pay and better working conditions and to uphold the Commission jurisdiction. Counsel Representing the porters will come besides Randolph, Roy Lancaster, secretary; Henry T. Hunt, Frank P. Walsh, Donald Richich, attorneys. Continuance of the slipping system will mean a strike by the declining company answered this recently by employing a crew of Chinese porters. Senators To Sit In Mr. Randolph exhibited today letters from a number of senators who he has requested them to sit in at the hearing in order to kind it their moral support. The letters include, Masters. S. D.; Curtis, Kansas; Frazier, S. D.; Cooper, Kansas Edge, N. J.; Ferris, Michigan; Waterman, Colorado; Dillen, Texas; Kirk, Texas; Shepard, Texas; and King, Utah. Frank B. Willis, Ohio, says "I shall always be more or less an American and considerable of a nuisance." Mother Of Child, Thought White Ordered To Leave KINGSTON. N. C.

Mrs. Semmes Reports 1. Mrs. J. Semmes. widow of the attorney general of the Confederate States, crosses the river at New Orleans and, in answer to her name, reports to Peter. Mrs. Semmes had much to tell. Her great husband, who crossed over many years ago, might have been looking for her. You might have time to read about the family of Semmes. Most southerners would like to claim kin with the Semmes family, and, around Mobile, you find many who wear the name. The first attorney general of the Confederate States, Mr. Semmes, but Judah Benjamin, the Jew, Benjamin was the only Jew in the Civil War and he was on the wrong side. You know he thought the Jews were the side. Few Jews in history ever lost. If you trace Judah you find him secretary of the state at the time of Lee's surrender. When he heard all was over but the penalty was "mid-ocean, climb aboard an English steamer, and made it to London. There he became a great lawyer. Semmes succeeded Benjamin. Study the Jew. --- Dear Mrs. Semmes, once in heaven, looked up her husband, and looked up her wife, when I said good bye to New Orleans, ALL the colored people were free, had plenty money, were living in the city, I think? Why, that Walter Cohen was something high in the government and had an office in the Custom House. It is simply awful. For the love of Mike, dear, who IS that angel dressed in red? Isn't that Lucy? Semmes, who had dropped the Mister, and put aside all airs, told the madam to lower her voice. He also told Lincoln closest to the throne. "Good Lord," she cried. Citizen Vs. Inhabitant 2. Garrett of Tennessee, prominent member of the House of Representatives, and next Sesame Street judge, raises a question that you might care to look into. Mr. Garrett, who has been told he is something of a parliamentarian in objecting to the policy of his seat as successor to William S. Vare in the House, made the point that a man can be a citizen without being an inhabitant. See what crime he did, a gentleman like Mr. Garrett of the "first families". Mr. Garrett's party, the democratic party, which has been a criminal conspiracy since it ruined Buchanan, got up in his habit without being a citizen. Hence, see millions of native Americans denied the ballot, although producers of the wealth, the luxury of the state, from the federal government. A Southern "Negro" is an inhabitant, but not a citizen, says Mr. Garrett's party. Northern republicans were silent. "Sienna gives consent to the state," agreed on a step further. Since the "Negro", who is republican, can be an inhabitant without being a citizen, according to Mr. Garrett, in Pennsylvania can be a citizen without being an inhabitant and citizen. Thus both ends appear against the middle. As he sleeps in his class but when he drew a law book on Mr. Beck he got up his own obituary. The G. O. P. learns that the "Nagasaki" movement on account of "race" but on account of political belief - it is a "Nagasaki" movement. Like Wills, a. Worth WILL turn. Mr. Slemp of Virginia You hear from Mr. Slemp, Virginian, able political figure, and as an ANY American you know. When he retired from the White House as secretary to Coolidge, several prominent colored men and women presented him with the traveling bag. "Use it when you travel," the spokesman said to Mr. Slemp, "but always buy a round trip ticket." Mr. Slemp said he loved freedom and plenty room to yawn and stretch in. CONTINUED ON EDITORIAL PAGE.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND COLD HIT MANY Police Stations Used As "Flop-Houses" As Men Seek Shelter FROM ALL SECTIONS Officers And Magistrates Help Down-And-Outers With 38 men applying for shelter in police station houses during the pressure of unemployment is being emphasized here by welfare workers. Requests for lodging in police stations are generally good barometers of working conditions; experienced officers work, and while there are times when shifts of labor from other cities may bring a large number of down- and-outers to town, the number of people applying for free lodging in the lock-up indicates unusual pressure. At the Central Police Station 22 men asked to be accommodated for night's lodgings. At other stations throughout the city there were 16 men applying "Flop House"s. At the "flop houses", where men can get a bed for a dime and a cheap room for an afternoon an idle day, it is generally the man wholly without funds who applies at police stations. In most cases police officers either direct them to some Good Samaritan or give them a meal on leaving the following morning.

Prevented From Landing EMBARRASSMENT TO COOLIDGE IS FEARED Police Take Precautions Against Anti U. S. Demonstration HAVANA, CUBA.—The suppressed conditions of the Haitian Republic again loomed on the horizon of Pan-American diplomacy, Friday. Dr. Pierre Hundecourt and Dr. Dates Bellegar" leaders of the independent movement in that island, who hoped to bring their country's plight before the Congress now in session here, were intercepted at Santiago and prevented from landing. The independent movement leaders, it is believed, were barred on advice from Borno, president of the Republic, whose leaders of the Italian masses claim, is the puppet of the U. S. sugar companies and financial interests and who is being kept in the saddle by the U. S. Government machine guns in the hands of marines. Borno Delegates The Borno delegates sent to the conference, according to Drs. Hunde-court and delegates do not represent the Borno people in a cross section of Haitian opinion. Haiti, like Nicaragua, is a virtual protectorate of the United States. The Borno people are sources are being exploited by money interests in this country and her citizens held under control by U. S.army. In both countries there is a form of election, but the real power of government rests in commissions appointed by the president of the country, by the President of the United States.

PRETTY JEWESS DIVORCED BY NEW YORKER Nude Escapade With Cuban Is Too Much For Harlem Hubby FAMILIES IGNORANT OF WEDDING 2 YEARS AGO Wife Fights Divorce But Yields When Vice Raid Witnesses Testify By GEO. E. TAYLOR NEW YORK—Harlem experienced another supertrill Monday when the highly spiced escapades of a pretty Jewish white wife were aired in divorce court where her colored husband had sought relief. The wife, Mrs. Dorothy Strauss Abraham, is the daughter of a prominent New York family, while her husband, Ultiman Abraham, though bearing a Jewish name, is really a member of a colored family with well known branches in New York state and Detroit. Follows Vi:: Rald The divorce proceedings, which came up before Referee Davis in Part I of the Supreme Court, were the result of a raid in which the police fashioned apartment at No. I W. 129th street, several weeks ago.

Genuine SDIDIN SHRINERS' CASE MEMPHIS RISES IS ARGUED IN FROM SHOCK OF SUPREME COURT BANK FAILNRE Whites Claim Exclusive Right To Name, Em- blems And Insignia ORDER OPERATED IN TEXAS FOR 16 YEARS By LOUIS LAUTIER WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Supreme Court of the United States has under consideration the Mystic Shrine case, in which shriners are seeking a review of the decision of Texas courts enjoining them from using the name, emblems and insignia of the Order of Mystic Shrine (white). Argument for whites was concluded by Attorney General Claude Pollard, of Texas last Friday. Argument for the colored Shriners was made last Thursday by Harold S. Davis a white attorney. Samuel Winkler, of James E. White, attorneys, of Chicago, ll. sat the counsel table with Mr. Davis but took no part in the argument. Jurisdiction By their questioning of counsel some members of the Supreme Court indicated that they doubted that the court had jurisdiction to review the decision of the Texas courts Pollard advised them, however, that the question of jurisdiction had been purposely waived by the white Shriners to a man controlling decision might be obtained from the highest court on the right of the white Shriners to the exclusive use of the name, emblems and insignia of the Mystic Shrine. Whatever right of action the white Shriners may have had against collateral defendants had been lost by failure of the whites to assert that right within a reasonable time. Case Of Pythians Cited In supporting this contention he cited the case of Creswil against the Knights of Pythias. The Supreme Court held in that case that the white Knights of Pythias were guilty of such long delay and, accordingly, were convicted. It was shown that the colored order was permitted to exist for a number of years without objection from the white Knights of Pythias. The whole case, in the Texas courts, turned on the question of whether the M. Mylly case, the Supreme Court. The injunction was granted he declared, because the defendants in the Texas trial court were colored and the plaintiffs were white. The whole record of the case, he said, was filled with inflammatory statements. The Parade White Shriners had no knowledge of the existence of colored Shriners in Texas until there was a parade of colored Shriners in 1918, he declared. Six months later a suit for an injunction was filed by the white Shriners. Colored Shriners claim that their first temple in Texas was inaugurated at El Paso on 12.10.1902. 19 13, 1902. Whites Start In '72 WHITE START in 1822 The white Shrine was organized in new orchid in 1872 by a small group of Masons as a playground or Masonry. In 1876 the Imperial Council, the national governing body, was organized. Colored Organized 1893 A colored Shrine was first organized in Chicago, Ill., in 1893, by a man calling himself Rofeld Pasha, of Arabia, assisted by S. Hussein of Syria, Amel Kader, of Palestine and A. H. G. G. of North Africa. Pasha claimed he was authorized by the Shrine in Arabia to institute the Shrine among colored people in America. Origin Is The Same Both white and colored Shriners trace their origin to the same source. The injunction suit was originally a local controversy between Arabia Temple, white, and Doric Temple, colored, at El Paso, Texas. The national organization of colored Shriners voluntarily intervened as a party defendant and submitted itself to the jurisdiction of the Texas courts. Later the national organization of aspera was empowered as a party plaintiff. The controversy then became national in scope. The injunction granted by the trial court was broadened to extend throughout the United States.

FORTUNES WIPED OUT MEMPHIS, TENN. — "Memphis race group is rising to its feet before the count of ten" is the way a local business man describes the reaction which is taking place following the crash of the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company here recently. State bank examiners are still delving into the muddled affairs of the defunct institution, and while no additional arrests have been made this week, it has developed that the entire fortunes and holdings of several of the directors and other prominent business men whose membership in the bank, will be entirely wiped out. Doubtful Collateral It has also developed that much of the $474,154.1 loans on its books are on doubtful security. Some business men here are on paper directly and in note. Bond is more than $10,000. T. H. Hayes, prominent undertaker; E. W. Irving, physician and stockholder; J. L. Campbell, local pastor minister and Dr. C. A. Terrell, physician, are endorsers on notes aggregating from $60,000 to $75,000 each. The crash is expected completely to wipe out the assets of these and other business men. Even then it is not generally believed that these endorsements and the $150,000 bond signed when the two banks merged are due to be collectable to their face value. Like Destructive Fire But despite the fact that the crash struck the group like a great destructive fire, they are recovering from the shock and are making plans to rebuild the buildings on the ruins can be carted away. While Memphis has had many white bank failures effecting the savings of the group, this is the first time a face bank has gone to the bank. It is the most of the depositors. "I got a tip but I could not believe it," said a small depositor and this expresses the psychology which prevailed before the people were stunned by the actual crash. I seen the Memphis Savings Bank, a large, white institution, with 90 per cent of the entire bank accounts of the colored people. fail. They had seen the Marcantile Bank, regarded one of the strongest in the city, and served men like Ex-Attorney General of the U. S. Luke Lee. close its doors when one of its cashiers took a million from its coffers and they had seen him sent to the Federal Reserve. I believe the Solvent Bank could fail. Harry H. Pace, the first cashier of the Solvent Bank and Trust Company, lays the failure of the merger of the two institutions. He points out the two men apparently criminally involved were officers of the company and that the Solvent directors were ill advised in entering the merger. Nothing has developed to substantiate rumors that Bert M. Roddy, J. W. Sandford and other former officers are involved in the crash. Roddy returned from a business trip through the South last week denied the allegation that $100,000 had been borrowed in connection with the chain grocery stores promoted by him several years ago. It was under Roddy's administration that the Solvent Savings Bank experienced its greatest growth and, when he had more than two years of credit, was among the best in the city, his friends say. Plans to raise $225,000 capital to establish another banking institution are under way.

GUARDS Retired Officer WASHINGTON, D. C.—Of the U. S. Army authorized by the National Defense Act of 118,810, but 4,032 enlisted colored men are on the rolls, according to figures just tabulated by Elijah Reynolds, Master Sergeant U. S. Army, retired. This representation. Sergeant Reynolds points out in his careful analysis of Negro units under the Colors, is not only meager for more than 12,000,000 population, but would more mercifully be defended due to his suddenly called upon as in the great World War. The group would also be denied full opportunity, according to ratio of population, to acquire its due resources and standing in military efficiency. 3.000 Combat Troops 3003 Combat troops Of the 3003 Combat troops 0000 are combat troops with training for field work. The complete list of com- bat troops is by Sergeant Reynolds as follows. Ninth Calvary, Fort Riley, Kansas. 446; 10th Calvary, Arizona. 578; 24th Infantry, Georgia, 849; 25th Infantry, Arizona. 935; 100 Motor Troupe Co., Georgia, 40; Detachments U.S. Military Academy, West Point, 274; Army War College, Washington, 70; General Service Schools Detachment, Ft.

Below Regular Army Although, declares Sergeant Reynolds, the National Defense Act established the first real military policy worthy of a name in the United States, it left the number of Negro units less than those in the Regular Army which it replaced. Turning to the National Guard, the country's second line of defense, which is left to the mercy of the military, has a lack of representation. There are but 165 officers and 2,784 men distributed as follows: Massachusetts, New York, 63 officers and 880 men; District of Columbia, 4 officers and 67 men; Ohio, 15 officers and 303 men; Illinois, 67 officers and 1,076 men; Maryland, 3 officers and 85 men. Infantry Division Under present conditions and with the modern equipment and with the modern use, they could take from eight to ten months properly to train men of the group who would surely be sent to Sergeant Reynolds, and he urges that the National Defense Act be so amended and the apportionment made that it will include an army division of colored enlisted men. This, he says, would not only draw to the service some of the best material of the race, who would be glad to take advantage of it, but would also command of this size, but it would also help to create a reserve that could be advantageously used to expand the first line of defense in time of war. Asleep At Switch "Shall twelve million loyal American citizens stand asleep at the switch and let their members in their country dwindle to the vanishing point? Any man who is good enough to die for his country in time of war is good enough to serve in all branches of the armed forces of the country. Glosing his appeal the writer says that we should not only have a complete infantry division, but representation through as many as possible in proportion to their ratio in cann state's population. This is our country, too. Give us fair and due opportunity to defend ourselves called upon—in an efficient manner.

ALL DRUGGISTS "THE AFBOC CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY." Eugene Gordon, 1027 Survey. Lollipop's Letter January 17, 1928. Dearest Lollipop: ooney, read the AFBQ. Forget, week before last? It was called to my attention last week, and pained me much. A person, whose intelligence can only be likened to a child, welfare, said he missed Lollipop's letters because he could not get sufficient low-down on Washington's money, wouldn't that kill you? Far be it from me to pose as an iconoclast. I have no desire to broadcast dirt on hurt anyone, and I wouldn't want a few choice tid bits, and while my letters may rub some folks, they are never meant to dig. So, let us be on our flippant Omega's Musical The boys really did themselves proud by issuing formal invitations to a musical at the Omega Psi Phi Prairie House, which they received to 10. There were several recitations, numbers by a stringed trio, and piano solos. C. T. Collins, of Philadelphia, cites the music of the most creditably, Gladys Davis took the ivories, Gerry Brown rendered a violin solo, James Cobb (not his Honor) call to McGrew, and told this punishment the boys bade their suits adieu. Oh! You First Year Medics It was my good fortune to be at the front entrance of Harvard and University Medical School the other day, when the first year Medics were stepping down the street for tea at Mme Palmer's. My! what an illustrious gathering of friends and fellow Medics. There must be about sixty or sixty-five of the young brethren and embryo mechanics, and how they do sturt even in this first year, and how they lead the good man of that show, and I can safely number some of the headlights as follows: Tom Brown, Kay Trigge, Wilbur Strickland, Beed Brooks, Peter Crawford, Jim Shields and Charlie Gibson. I can't name them all, and the rest the rest don't feel hurt. Three years from now, if these boys can weather the storms, the ambitions to pick from, for these boys, who make such a booful bunch, will be enter- upon their lucrative careers. But there are so many wise girls that must give all these booful eligibles have been PICKED cre, this. Basketball Howard and Storer played basketball at the new gym of Howard University last Saturday night, before the Storer boys seemed to be no trouble—why they weren't even good looking. Next Saturday Howard plays Morgan, and he is alive. Bessley, Coates, Serram, Jones, Peter, Johnson, Frank, Bill Carpenter, Allison Cobbs and "Horse Hinder" will do the other night, if they want to beat Morgan. Parties Frankie Thomas, possessor of that pretend faction, excites laughter as the Junior Matrons at her home last week. Everyone always has a good time at Frankie, and this particular day is the day the carvin Pearl Curtis and Francis Garvin carried away the prizes. The Joseph E. Triggs pulled the trigger on a no-bake pie, when they entertained about ten couples at their home. Dancing was the in-door sport, indulged in, and everyone voted a large evening until the wee smal Tessa Connellly entertained last week about three dozen of her friends, both male and female, at bridge. The presence of the men-folk made the ladies pleasurable and cunning and made much enjoyment as they unified all through the evening. The prizes were very lovely and unique. Evanti Sails Very quietly Lillian Evans Tibbs (our own Evanti) pulled out of Washington last week and sailed on the Paris, Friday morning, to events in Europe. I thought surely that some music-loving group would present Evanti in a recital here. The months spent in the cities filled with travel and giving concerts throughout the country, and the outstanding musical critics far and near, we given her the most glowing acknowledgments of her Isn't it a pity that here, in EventA's home, where there is a super-abundance of these young men, we are agitation for racial recognition, and also a goodly amount of the filthy here, that some of these repentant men may give her a testimonial commensurate with her acknowledged attributions. When the Washington public will emulate the action of a Western city, which gave a large testimonial in the public study, to one of its promising operatic stars.

The BABY No mother in this enlightened age would give her baby something she did not know was perfectly harmless, especially when we drop eggs, or when we put her baby stomach and end almost any little it. Fretfulness and fever, too; it seems no time until everything is serene. That's the thing. Its great sense seems just what is needed. It does all that castor oil might accomplish, without shock to the system. Without the evil taste. It's delicious. Being purely vegetarian, it gives you a sign of colic; constipation; diarrhea; or need to aid sound natural sleep. Just on warning: It is genuine Fletcher Castoria that physicians recommend. Other preparations may be just as free from all doubtful drugs, but no child of this writer's is going to test them. Besides the reason that comes with Fletcher Castoria is worth its weight in gold. Children Cry for Fletcher's CASTORIA Page Three $22,575 SENATE ASKED TO PAY WM. H. HART $22,575 Relief Prayed Teacher Who Went Bankrupt Conducting Reform School COMPLAINT GOES BACK OVER 22 YEAR PERIOD Hart Lost 640 Acre Farm, Stock, And His City Property WASHINGTON, D. C.—A bill for the relief of William H. H. Hart, former professor of criminal law in the Howard University law school, is pending in the Senate committee on claims. It was introduced by Senator Charles Curtis, Republican, of Kansas, on January 9. The bill would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay Prof. Hart the sum of $2,575.14 with interest from December 31, 1925, to date of payments. This sum would be paid to him to cover costs incurred, losses sustained, d.mages suffered, and annual commercial profits on his undertaking in the care, maintenance and teaching of Columbia placed with him by the Board of Children's Guardians, from November 8, 1997, to June 30, 1905. Similar Bill Under a similar bill the claim of Prof. Hart against the United States is up for grabs. That court ascertained the facts and reported them to Congress. In 1897 there was no place available for a farm of 295 acres about two miles older colored wards of the Board of Children's Guardians of the District of Columbia. Prof. Hart owned a farm of 295 acres about two miles older colored wards of the Board of Children's Guardians of the District of Columbia. Prof. Hart owned a farm of 295 acres about two miles older colored wards of the Board of Children's Guardians of the District of Columbia. Prof. Hart later acquired this adjoining tract. Prof. Hart later acquired this adjoining tract. Nine Contracts Prof. Hart entered into nine contracts with the Board of Children's Guardians for the care and education of its older colored male wards. After four years serious differences began to arise between him and the Hard Put Prof. Hart was hard put to secure the necessary funds to maintain the school. He suffered a financial loss, from the action of the men: his action of his repudiation $200, $175 a ward and his withdrawal of its wards from his school for awhile. His financial resources were so limited that he lost many of his horses and cattle by starvation. He gave away some and sold others at prices greatly below to prevent their loss by starvation. In the contract of July 1, 1903, there was inserted a provision that in case of any loss to the board, the board acted by wards of the board, the board was to recommend to Congress an appropriation to pay him. On April 17, 1903, a ward set fire to the building, his burrow with palm and farming implements. The loss was a total one, but the board took no notice of it. Another fire occurred in 1904, desecrating the building and store-. The board took no action respecting this loss. Bankruptcy In March, 1906, Prof. Hart went into bankruptcy. His farm school and property in Maryland was proved in Washington into the hands of a trustee in bankruptcy. The Court of Claims in its opinion, delivered by the Fenton W. Howard who is also the dean of the Howard University law school, stated that just what portion of the loss sustained by the wrongful or the wrongful and arbitrary action of the board, and what amount is chargeable to his own mismanagement, is a matter we have unable to determine from the evidence.

BACKSLIDERS, LIKE ARMY DESERTERS, SHOULD BE BACKSI SAYS CH'RCH MEMB'RS SHOULD BE SHOT SAYS CH'RCH MEMB'RS SHOULD BE SHOT Remedy Applied To Army Deserters Proposed For Backsliders DENOMINATIONS HURT Speaker Says They Make World Clannish The various denominations existing in America retard rather than aid the progress of Christianity, Balo Matthews, city editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN, told a large audience at the Sharp Memorial M. E. Church, Sunday. In causes Methodists to war against Baptists, Presbyterians Catholics and instead of making military and blood, makes us mar- yellow, sellin and clamming, he de- "The trouble with the church day is there are entirely too many church members and not enough people who really appreciate and understand the church. The members are concerned about building up large congregations than about actually changing the dreams of the members the speaker declared. Should Be Shot "The story is told of how, during the war, a soldier, who was stationed to watch the arsenal was found sleep at the post. He was court married and shot. If the rules of the army were applied to the church, a general supposed to be church members would join. When people join the church just because someone persuades them to do so without giving a thought as to the seriousness of their obligation and refuse to give up their wordly possessions, which is equivalent to backpackers, in which the army deserves are shot." "When church members make themselves liable, so that saints can say, I am just as good as he; they leave the arsenal unprotected and leave the man should join them; so in the church until he is made the rules of the church or else join a church that has rules that he can abide by, because a decent sinner is better than a hypocrite, who tries to foot God." Matthew stated. Christianity Cannot Endure "The very existence of a Negro church and a white church in America is silent evidence that there is something radically wrong with our Christianity. If it is true that a house divided against itself cannot live, we must not nurrow. Rewarded of how complicated we make our creeds, until we realize that true religion does not lie in ceremonies, but in fair play, it will never amount to much."

"THE AFOB CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY." - Eugene Gordon. 1927 Survey. ERS, SHO PLAINFI'LD N. J. PAST'R WAS THREATENED Letters Promise Bodily Harm If He Accepts Brooklyn Pastorate WON BY TWO VOTES City Pastors Campaigned Against The Loser BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Rev D. W. Hoggard, prominent Baptist preacher, of Plainfield, N. J., who was elected pastor at Berean Baptist Church here after Rev Claude Lavosier Franklin had lost by two votes, is reported to be the recipient of letters threatening him if he accepts the new charge. Dr. Hoggard, it is reported, after some conferences with the board of Berean as to the size of salary and certain ministerial perquisites, had finally agreed to come to the new charge. He has been conducting services for the last two Sundays, it is said. The "Rub " The rub came, when Mrs. Hoggard became rather saddly about coming to live in the parsonage provided, with two children, in view of the threatening missives. It is being claimed that in view of this sudden development that if Dr. Hoggard were in these new fields, Mrs. Hoggard would have to be in the language of an old hymn, "Fully Persuaded." The AFRO is told that a committee waited on the wife of the prospective new purveyor of salvation's tidings, but that she not only was not "Fully Persuaded", but was not even "Almost Persuaded". And there it is. Pastors Canvass The Baptist brethren of the "City of Churches" who are reported to have openly canvassed against Rev. Franklin's election, is told in the AFRO of last week, many say, have started something that they cannot control. Just what the end will be for the unfortunate Bercan congregation cannot yet be told, but it seems to be a subject for wide agreement among unbiased observers hereabouts, that the church is in anything but the state of mind necessary to do the work of Jesus. In fact, the flames from the spiritual conflagration in process at Berean even threaten to envelop the church. Many are the denials and countercharges from various and varied sources, but it is steadily maintained by those "in the know" that many Baptist preachers did actually canvass and lobby against Rev. Frank K. McCormick, insisting that even his own former head pastor at Concord Baptist, turned thumbs down on him. Pastor Condemns Cap. Punishment "We have no business to take life," said the Rev. Luke Reynolds, in his sermon at Trinity Baptist Church Sunday morning, in discussing capital punishment. "Those who carry out the law do it because there is no other alternative.

Price is president of the organization. What Doc of the Laxative Habit In all history, no Indian was ever known to have constipation. Nor need YOU. He measures the bark of a tree called cascara. Today, we have the candy cascara. Cascarizing the bowels never forms a laxative habit. If already formed, an occasional cascara will appear before the bark. For cascara strengthens the muscular walls of the bowels, and their need of any aid at all grows constantly less. What other cathartic has this characteristic? The writer knows of none. An evacuation brought gently about by cascara will, nine times in can, be followed by full functioning of the bowels on the morrow—and for days after. For there is no RE-ACTION as with sickening salts, or any of the man-made purgatives that go through one's system like a bullet. Physicians tell us cascara is the ideal laxative—and the tongue tells CASCARETS They Work While You Sleep! KEEPS THE SKIN CLEAR AND BRIGHT ST. AUGUSTINE'S St. Augustine's Church, Rev.

At least a million people know this, what a play, there are any who don't! Especially parents; because children love to take a cascaret. After which, for days-on-end, the toms will be seen to work their own accord. The only habit from cascara is that of regularity! Cascarets tone and train the bowels. But at the first sign of returning sluggishness another cascaret is as effective as the first. There isn't a druggist, who hasn't cascarets, so WHY experiment with laxatives?

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER February 4, 1913 Bishop J. Albert Johnson wrote the other day from Cape Town, South Africa, where it is 100 degrees in the shade, and took discouraging photos of his illness and incapability of doing his work. He said among other things "Yes, all bishops have their troubles, some more than others. I surely have mine good and plenty, as my boy would. We all need some Abraham Lincoln used to say a certain number of fleas are necessary to a dog. I fear we are inclined to the line of least resistance." Our Own Fraternals An autocrat on the Baltimore-Washington Boulevard would have gotten off with speeding except for the fact that he hanked his horn so loudly passing other cars that he attracted the attention of a state road policeman. Texas shirers were on duty in 1922. They would have gone now without bother from firing but in 1918 they elected to parade. This week the Supreme Court is hearing a case in which colored Shirners are asking relief from an injunction secured in Texas which enjoins them from using the name, emblems and insignia of the shrine. Just one little parade down in Texas started this country-wide agitation to kill the shrine order among the blacks. Negroes have as much right, legal and moral, to the shrine idea and ritual as whites. In fact, they have more. The order bounded by black Arabians has spread thru the world. A victory of the whites in the Supreme Court might have enforced the colored shirners of the folly of public demonstration and noise in the countryside. It might also give an impetus to Negro fraternals not patterned after whites. Success of the St. Lukes, Mosaic Templars, Samaritans and Royal Knights of King David indicate that the fraternal idea is susceptible of original and expansive development, resulting in an order that is not only the Negro's own, but bears his stamp, and serves his purpose better than any other. Propaganda The United States is run by propaganda, where rival propagandists compete, victory in the majority of cases goes to him who has the most money. The conclusion is that the United States is largely run by the propagandist interests. Take a look at the flood relief. Mr. William S. McCormick, the comedian and humorist, who charged the Dodge Motor Car Company $3,000 for an hour's talk over the radio the other night, was employed by wealthy persons in the flood area as a congressional lobbyist. He was introduced as House Mississippi Flood Central Commission as "Congressman at Large" put in a good word for federal aid to the flood district when he said:—"It seems to me that the nation should pay for all of it, we should not try to keep them half drowned. Congressmen voting taxpayers' control future floods in the river valley may forge a Coolidge's reason why the state should defray part of the costs, but they are not likely to forget Mr. Roger's reference to the Mississippi valley dwellers as "half drowned." The point made is that Congress always keeps one ear open to the voters back home and the other to the propagandists in Wash- Congress has dallied with the anti-lynching bill for three or four years. If those to be benefited especially by this legislation could employ Mr. Will Rogers to perform before Congress in joint session and sing a "mammay song" in the congressional cloak room before the bill is brought out for a vote, there is a chance of making headway. Of course the good relief bill has not passed yet, and it not pass. The ants may bring fortune and Dorothy Stone to entertain congress while Paul Whitenan and his band jazz it up. Gonna Rain no more." Travel In Dixie ATLANTA. Ga. (ANP) — Whatever there may of liberalization of policy toward colored travellers by the railroads of Atlanta, a direct request from the part of a dedicated men who travel frequently and defend the best accommodations available and the every courtesy tendered. Jose O. Thomas of the Urban Affairs Commission as a sort of unofficial transaction agent in securing reservations for sun-colored travellers out of Atlanta, and Andrew Atlanta from his tour of observation a member of the Hoover Colored Flood Advisory Commission. Mr. Thomas, who was weary, reclined on the last seat in the car, a long row cushion bench half again as long as a regular. The flagman came in and asked him to move because he wanted to use the space. He fled "to soak" in the water. "This is no place to sleep," said the flagman tarly. "Day coach tickets are not sold with sleeping car privileges," he continued. Yes, said Mr. Thomas. "I am not a seat in the Pullman." The flagman suicidid, but Mr. Thomas took the matter up with the train crew and West Point Railway as soon as he reach Atlanta. The result was immediate. "Your letter of December 28," Mr. Billips wrote, "of the train 35, has been referred to our superintendent of transportation, who has charge of all train crews. The matter has been such manner as you will have no further cause for complaint." Do You Know? HOW DO WE SEE? The working of the human eye is like a camera in many respects. The camera has a shutter to control the amount of light required: the pupil of the eye performs a similar duty. The camera has an aperture (the opening) to affect the light and brings them to a focus on the sensitive plate in the rear of the camera. The Crystalline Lens in the front of the eye focuses a picture of the object on the retina, the sensing surface of the eye and the inner surface of the back of the eyeball and does the seeing. A camera is focused by means of movable sides or by substituting a lens of different curvature. The normal human eye adjusts the focus of the lens and adjusts properly for distance are known as far-sighted or near-sighted. Call VE:mon 6016 DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES Metropolitan Life And The Negro Harry H. Pace, progressive financier and one of the most active business men in the race, writing in the Southern Workman, calls Life Insurance Company an "excellent life insurance company. Accepts Negro money in insurance premiums, it will not employ them in any capacity. There are companies who do not take Negro risks, nor employ, nor deal with them; as the custodian of millions of dollars belonging to the Negro group, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is a part in the fate of a race which should receive the most study and consideration. There are literally hundreds of thousands of men and women in the group whose only duties are to manage the valuits and banking accounts of this company. WHAT THIS MONEY IS DOING, WHOSE HOMES IT IS BUILDING. WHOSE BUSINESS IT IS DEVELOPING. WHOSE FAMILIES IT IS BUILDING. WHOSE CHILDREN IT IS MAKING FUTURE PLACES IN COMMERCE. TRADING AND INDUSTRY ARE OF FAP MORE VIENNA. ORNAMENTAL INCHINGS OR DESPIRANT HOME. Metropolitan Policies In Negro Welfare Work The very magnitude of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's activities in the group makes it imperative that every Negro in the group must study its consequences and take some definite action as to a solidly united group policy towards it. MUST DEAL WITH US AS A GROUP. WE MUST OP QOVIOUS NECESSITY DEAL WITH IT AS OF ITS GROUP POLICY. In fact, an analysis of the policy of this company is essential to the success of its soogenic, and its activities so wide-spread, it would well be worth our major consideration as a group either until their policies are altered or they are driven from their domicile. While it accepts premiums and does some excellent health work, it withholds its most constructive help. While it salves the wound, it bludgeons the race group with its cruel scolding, the most vital benefits derived from their own money. To understand how this works, take a trip with the humble premium paid by simple John Smith, the most successful members of his family insured in this company. These premiums, say, amounting to 80 per year, and dug from John Smith's meagre salary, and paid even if Smith's time must be spent with children of their food families, finally reach the coffers of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. For The Dead Here its contact is lost until somebody dies and it comes back to help usher them into the gloomy land. But the meantime, what has John Smith's $80 yearly savings been doing? Some years ago, down in Memphis, Tenn., this writer found some of it financing peonies and a Negro progress; we found it building stores where this very John Smith's children could not rise above the job of janitor; we found it buying comfortable homes for whites; Smith had to pay 11 per cent to use his own money; we found it giving white men jobs as agents, stenographers, superintendents, welfare workers, and executives to rear their businesses; Smith had to live while John Smith's own 30 told his own children YOU CANNOT WORK HERE. BEST OF ALL WE SAW IT PROSTITUTING NEGRO LEADERSHIP AND, WITH ITS MESS OF POTTAGE HIRING UNCLE TOMS TO PERPETUATE JIM CROW, DISRICHMENTEMENT. AND DOPE THE NEGRO TOMS TO PERPETUATE EQUIVOCATING IDEAS OF THEIR OWN PLACE IN THIS WORLD WHICH GOD MADE. The Negro race faces no menace more farreaching nor detrimental than this discrimination in economic opportunity. These black Metropolitan may seem their own business, but in fact, it reaches the very warp and woof of Negro life. When Memphis, Tennessee, decided to outlive the rise of light cities, this warrior director of the public social service work, helped to make the preliminary surveys which brought about the campaign against legalized vice. Dozens of once beautiful girls born in Memphis, Tennessee, and Arkansas, with team-dimmed eyes tragic stories of efforts to find honest jobs as stenographers, sales girls, clerks, and other forms of employment, and of despondency breaking down their resistance, the most vital factors in human development. It keeps certain kinds of labor without the realms of dignity, because it teaches white youth that certain jobs are for white and black men, and it worsen than slavery, for it gives free mental ties with enslaved bodies. About It Now? With millions of dollars already paid in as premiums, it will probably take part of two generations to reach a solution by withholding patronage. BUT IF THE METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY CANNOT BE INDUCED BY REASON TO ALTER ITS EMPLOYMENT POLICY, AND THE POLICY OF USE OF ITS VAST FUNDS OBTAINED FROM AND HELD FOR ITS NEGRO POLICY HOLDERS, IT WOULD PAY THE GROUP IN NET ADVANTAGE TO LOSE EVERY PREMIUM ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY AND PUT FUTURE PREMIUM SAVINGS IN COMPANIES WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE BASIC, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL STRUCTURES OF THE RACE. It is not of the Negro's wish to desire to be set aside as a special group, but with this policy so prevalent, he is forced to unite in group action. We must learn the deeper meaning of money as it affects society; that it not only buys necessities and luxuries of life; it makes racial and other human attitudes. IF ONE HALF OF THE NEGRO POLICY HOLDERS SHOULD DROP OFF THE BOOKS OF THE METROPOLITAN COMPANY IN ANY ONE MONTH, ITS OFFICERS WOULD WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING WITH A GREATLY CHANGED ATTITUDE TOWARDS EMPLOYMENT. Poem This Week OOD Could we but draw back the curtains That surround each other's lives. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly The Week (Continued From Page 1) The political conditions of 1923 please the rich courtesur Mr. Slep. So he says: "As a Southerner I welcome this condition as the most important advance in the political life of this wonderful and historic section. "The democrats will likely nominate Al Smith against the advice and goodwill of the party. The democrats will not put in the White House the man whose influence has made New York the principal law-violating state of the Union, and there are OTHER reasons why he would not be acceptable to the south." You know the "OTHER" reasons. They are RELIGIOUS. The South is protestant—by mouth as leas. The humble writer, as you know, would think a law to keep a democrat from even visiting the Capitol all right, but as to New York being the "principal law-violating state," you are dead wrong. The violating states are VIRGINIA, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana. Mr. Smith's state says no when asked to give up personal liberty. The states handed you say no when asked to make all the people equal under the law. Nominate the Pope on the democratic ticket and the South will go off after him like a June election. The Pope is the "leader" of the democratic party is "Little of Lincoln and nothing of the Negro". The goodwill of the democratic party is enjoyed by all who believe Lee a hero and Grant an invader. Let your feelings run away with your judgment. Also, no democrat can beat Mr. Collidge. The Flag In Virginia You saw, maybe, where the American Flag that was unified by Commander Berry North Pole was received by Virginia and placed in the state capitol. Hope that THIS American Flag will get between the American Flag placed in the capitol of Virginia after Patrick Henry lost to Washington. George Mason and Jefferson on the adoption of the American Constitution. When Virginiaians get mad, they are mad all through. They were all right until Lee weakened. Over night they hauled down the Stars and the Suns. Then told Lee, who had been educated by his government, to put his best foot forward. You know the rest. colored Virginiaians will wonder what Virginia will do with the American Flag as long as almost a million people the flag took out of physical slavery are COMPELLED to endure politics. The dispatches say that an effort will be made to have Col. Lindbergh accompany Major Berry, a Virginian, to the South Pole. Perhaps they will go along with, but Berry will be the company's company, not Lindbergh Berry's company. Memphis And Banks As distressing as the Memphis bank failure may be the end of the world is not in sight. More banks break in the S. Stuart insurance export and one of the business giants of Memphis, makes a good point. "This was a 'bank failure', says Mr. Stuart. "Not a COLORED bank failure." Support Mr. Stuart. "This was only a few months ago to the Fraternal and the Solvent: banks consolidated. The son of the founder of the Solvent. R. R. Church, J. a. bright, everlasting light in this world. He was a great business man, worked hard for consolidation. They were like the letter that came too late. Don't grieve over milk milk. Also, turn over in your recollection the story of Memphis that withstood the merciless assaults of yellow fever. Then white and non-white joined hands, saying to one another, "United we stand, divided we face." So now, colored Memphis, wealthiest color center in the United States, living among white Americans as fine as may be found, will come again. Beale street is not a back-door crowd. But the Memphis bankers, Pax but little attention to harsh criticism of the men in charge of affairs. They did not run. "We will put them in the penitentiary," officials are quoted as saying. If they are guilty of stealing they belong in the penitentiary, but not language when Main and Madison street fell? Alot of foolish people are in this world, white and those not passing for "white". Newspapers report that "white officials" are standing guard and that "white people" are not welcome in those are "white" who else would be standing "guard"? Is not ignorance a heavy load? As long as there is money to lend banks will continue to "break". As long as there is money to save, banks will be organized. Memphis the peculiar spot in Dixie thanks you for your interest but can get along without your sympathies. A Baltimore School Colored school children of Baltimore have a "new" building under an old roof. A hard state law requires that Mansfield place of Frederick Dodge, a great muse of modern times, show how difficult it is to take off the old and put on the new. An old high school building that until recently turned over to "colored" American children. A new building is opened for the white children. Imagine how this reads to people in other civilized countries. However, be of good cheer. Daniel M. Jackson, the wise, motivated political leader of Chicago, likes to quote Andrew Jackson, who said that a Negro soldier with a gun in his hand is dead. This is a dangerous hand is almost as dangerous, as time will prove. That book is his weapon. If he is capable of dead aim, prejudice is as good as gone. In the old building in Baltimore "white" children teach colored people, to their director, F. M. Wood, as headquarters, it will now be "colored" students instructed in teaching. The story is the story of progress. Not so lenient, not so harsh, in Maryland to teach colored children to read and write. To know about that, get the Life of Frederick Douglass. Now "white" children are moved to a new building to make room for descendants of Doug- The building is second hand, but it doesn't leak, and is equipped with blackboards. Learninz, which is old itself, feels at home within its walls. A half leaf is better than none at all. Smith Of Illinois Frank L. Smith, of Illinois, met the democratic party in the spirit of ancient republicans. "But he won't get his seat," mary says. "He will get it now, but Illinois will keep sending him back until the democrats learn that disfranchising men on account of race, color, previous condition is one thing while disfranchising states of geography and politics is another. A few weeks ago this humble writer laid before me the democrats it brings out and stands on it, defying the democrats, who have never been strong on the Constitution, to go the limit. You may say for the democrats that they will go except the moral power of the nation when stirred up. Look up history and you will see that democrats don't believe in law until they are hog-tied and given the law in doses. The paragraph from Senator Smith's statement: "I came to this body bearing the credentials of the third state of the Union. I pledged allegiance to the Constitution of a senator. The fact of my election is beyond controversy. I was nominated as the republican candidate for the office of vice president of the republican voters of Illinois. Under the law of my state any question as to integrity of my nomination could have been raised in the Senate. I was not in the state. No contest at any time was ever instituted and no suggestion has even been made but that I was the choice of a large number of senators. Search democratic history below the Potomac and see if there is a single senator able to say "I possess ALL the constitutional qualifications of a senator." Hope that Senator Smith has all the trouble possible in his situation. By and by the G. O. P may wish to look into the "qualifications" of his senator in all states where voters are few and far between. Afro Readers Say Readers may write on any subject they like.

Leave Older People alone And Start New Ideas With Youth. To the Editor: In an article written by William N. Jones, he says, "Stop spending so much energy with children. Give them cups and sow the seed of good will in the plant ears of the men and women of tomorrow." This is, indeed very true. Children can be taught to love and respect the human race; they can be taught to care for all animals; and that he has no respect for person; and he does not jim crow a race, neither does he approve of racial prejudice. There is a saying like this. It is hard to teach a child to love and care for all animals; it is very hard for persons who have been taught and schooled in a prejudiced belief toward his weaker neighbors to throw off or put aside that training for an idea so foreign. The writer said, the racial welfare committee need to let off with the old and train the youth. Mrs. M. L. Mitchell, Goldsboro, N. C. Here's A Definite Formula Suggested For Young People. To the Editor: A column of your editorial section by Mr. William Jones stated in part, the following concerning the Negro youth of today: "What Negro youth should be taught to the Negro under which, aside from his or her personal individual aspirations, he or she may contribute something to a fixed racial destiny. What Negro youth: Complete a high school course and secure a job or position of some kind and save some money. What Negro youth: Learn many things the race needs today is wealth. Every paper should put over a campaign of Negro youth to present the present. Mr. Edison urge the youth to save a little of his earnings and watch for opportunity. More Completely Covers News Field. To the Editor: Please permit me to command you upon the high-class newspaper that you are getting out. I think that the "AFRO" more completely covers the high class newspaper than it does paper in America and does it in a cleaner, more dignified manner, than most of our other sheets which are entirely sensational in their treatment at HARRY H. PACE, Northeastern Life Insurance Company, Newark, N. J. Colorphain Does Not Matter To Right and Wrong. Even In Washington, So Prejudice Sometimes Causes The Loss Of A Life. To the Editor:— I saw in the Afro, about a woman being treated at the Sibley Memorial Hospital Washington, where she was so sick, so why steps could not have been taken to try to save her life, regardless of her color. I did night duty at George Washington Hospital, and I saw them treat emergency cases and they were not as bad as a gun shot. On the other hand I have seen Freedman's treat (white) emergency cases. I can see is the doctor who was on duty did not want to be bothered with the woman, because she was colored, and if he was right, it was wrong for the Freedman's Theater disaster. No Question Mark Behind The Future Of West Virginia. To the Editor:— Referring to an article by one Mr. Lewis K. McMillan, I think he is completely wrong in speaking about our fair state of West Virginia. Judging from the time that he stayed in the state, I hardly believe he was here long enough to be in the Army. All loyal West Virginiaians are proud of their State institutions, and point to them with great pride, for they are run by race men and women. One of the great handicaps is that we cannot be in the Army. The state's PAST ENOUGH to take command of these positions and are forced to go on the outside. But every year we are turning out as leaders in their various communities. We are sold out to the mine operators as politicians, we are blessed with one of the largest church associations in the union, and we are proud of it. There is no question mark behind the future of the state's Negro. It is progressing and progressing FAST. CECIL R. H. SCOTT. Charleston, W. Va. A White Man Aided Mission By The Invention Of The Aerial Compass. His First Teacher In Mechanics Was A Black Atlanta U. Professor. To the Editor: It is an interesting and singular fact that almost importance to American life and civilization has taken place in the state of the American Negro, the most handicapped group in American life. The frequency with which the Negro participates in everything of great moment cannot be laid precisely to mere numbers. Nobody has read anything that Negroes have had to do even remotely with American aviation. But, he has had something to do with it, just the same. Everyone has read that Commander Byrd and his crew have given the greatest praise to Albert Bumstead, the inventor of the aerial compass that makes aviation safe and certain. But, who is Albert Bumstead? He is the son of the late Dr. Horace Bumstead of Atlanta University. As a mere lad, Mr. Bumstead received some of his first instruction in mechanical drawing and in mechanics from a Negro instructor, Professor David R. Lewis, a graduate engineer of Perdue University of Indiana, and a professor in the Knowles shops of Atlanta University. Mr. Bumstead was always a genius at invention, but there is no telling how much he owes to the early start given him by Professor Lewis in Atlanta University. GEORGE A. TOWNS, Atlanta Univ. Delaware Pastor Explains Seeming Contradictions In The Bible Sent In To The Afro Last Week By James C. Blair Of Brooklyn. To the Editor:— A question was asked in the Afro last week "is the Christian Bible the word of God, or is it forgery?" If it is the word of God, then explain the following: Self-Contradictions Of The Bible.—(1) God is satisfied with His works. Gen. 1: 31. (2) God is Dissatisfied with His works.—Gen. 6: 6. Explanation: God is satisfied with His own works of Creation, Gen. 1: 31. But He is not satisfied with the works of Satan, and the wickedness of man. Gen. 3: 1-19, Isa. 14: 12-14, Gen. 6: 3, 5-7. (1) Man was Created after the Animals.—Gen. 1: 25, 28. (2) Man was Created before the Animals.—Gen. 1: 1, 19. Explanation: God's work on the Fifth Day and part of the Sixth Day, was the Creation of Animals. See Gen. 1: 20-25 v. God's work on the Sixth Day ended with the creation of man. See Gen. 2: 7, 18, 21-23, Gen. 1: 26-27. (1) God is Seen and Heard. Ex 33: 23. Gen. 3: 19. Gen. 32: 30. Isa. 6: 1. (2) God is Invisible and can not be Heard. John 5: 37. John 1: 18. Explanation: The di-vine essence, God, in His triune Person, no human being in the flesh has seen. But God, velled in angelic form, and especially as incarnate in Jesus Christ, has been seen of men. Gen. 18: 2, 22. St. John 14: 8, 8. (1) Michal had no child.—2 Sam. 6: 23. (2) Michal had five children. 2 Sam. 21: 8. Explanation: The five sons were children of Michal's sister Merab, wife of Adriel whom she brought up for Adriel. 1 Sam. 18: 19 v. (1) Jesus' witness of Himself is true. St. John 8: 18. (2) Christ's Witness of Himself is not true. St. John 5: 31 v. Explanation: In John 5: 31 our Christ, defending His Messianic claims before Jews who denied those claims, accepts the biblical rule of evidence, which required "two witnesses." See St. John 8: 17; Num. 35: 30; Deut. 17: 6. A paraphrase of verse 31 in St. John 5: Ch. would be: "If I bear witness of myself (ye shall say) my witness is not true," St. John 8: 14. The testimony of the Bible to itself as God's Word. See 1 Cor. 2: 7-15. St. John 16: 12-15. Pet. 1: 19. REV. CHARLES B. DOBSON, Lewes, Del. LINOTYPE January 22nd: I. WILLS COLE, 41, 2217 W.

That Writers' Guild Dear Lino,—I see by your paper that your young writers have formed a Guild, the Aro Writers' Guild, not change the name to Afro Writers' Guild?

Every child should be born with handles on him, with which his father could lift up onto the sidewalk. HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE BY RALPH MATTHEWS EVOLUTION Dr. J. R. Wadel Ward, who is 101 years old, has published a book that tells how to live to be most any age you might suggest. That may be all right but what possible excuse could you give you great encouragement should they were to catch you hanging around here 100 years from now. You couldn't expect to get away with that old gag about "just waiting for a street car." And such a gag would be difficult to be believe you were trying to get a chance to cross the street without getting hit, because all the pedestrians will be killed off by then, and they will catch you in a fib. Of course, you might try that one about being detained in a phone booth, waiting for central to give you the right number. I even doubt that will work, because if women keep gossiping over the telephone, they will develop receiver ears with a cord attached that they can just stick in the plug and get an ear full of seashell. Then, wouldn't you be a mess with a pair of everyday ears. Why, they could pan you out right before your eyes, and you would never need them. They would wear the cord around their necks in place of beads, when not in use. The process of evolution will affect machinery, too. Trolley cars will bore their way through the ground like moles, and commuters will walk on the sidewalk more than the other for strangling. Now, look what a freak you will be with both arms the same size. I suppose you think you would be acting smart, if you could look back and say that you remember when we primitive people did the Charleston and thought we were some pumpkins when we were creeping along on an express train at 70 or 80 miles an hour? So many people are smoking nowadays that they are not sure what probably be born with a smokestack sticking out of the back of their heads and a place under their chin to kindle a fire. Can you imagine what a razz you'll get when you go into a tobacco store and try to buy a pipe? People are riding in automobiles so much that nature will do away with legs all together. If you go wobbling around with a pair of feet, you will probably be your body, you are likely to be caught and put in a dime museum. I suppose you'll like that. Of course, nature always replaces what it takes away. The man of the future will have wheels on his shoes, the man of the future will have gloves on his shoes. I'll give the gloves to the other one goes in a store to buy a pair of rubber tires, and you go snooping on a pair of shoes, you will wish you had acted decent and craped out with the rest of us. Then, how do you expect to keep from being run over, when everybody else is else running, when you get the gloves of your pose, four wheel brakes, and a stop light on the seat of his pants? It would serve you right, if you were dragged into traffic court and fined for parking too long on earth. Even if this would happen, what would you do if the aeroplane craze caused everybody to be flying around up in the air, and you would be still an earth worm. Mental telepathy will replace the radio. Mouths will grow to be the size of loud speakers and everytime anybody gets indigestion there will be a lot of static. Nature protects her own. 100 years of prohibition will develop cement stomachs. Why, with a stomach of meat, you couldn't eat it? And with a contest. You would be poisoned and all the times you took getting old will have been wasted. Then what about your toilet? The constant use of safety razors will cause the man of the future to grow sharp edges under his index finger and may either that the fingers to together it will form a powder puff and will can powder their noses without carrying a vanity case. We will be looked upon as being still in the amoeba stage, and you are likely to be captured for the missing link, or be mistaken for some example of pre-historic man. They might send you a message of their experiment on you. With colleges getting every day, you can imagine what they will be 100 years from now. If dresses keep getting shorter the girls will be wearing gowns of closely woven atmosphere, decorated with sunbeams. Now, what are you wearing at? By that time you will be incappt that you won't be able to appreciate it. Oh yes, you can get monkey glands if you like, but mark my word: the girls for them aren't going to stand for any business Saturday, Jan At Hampton Inst. BY LEWIS K. McMILLAN Something happened at Hampton. Students with only a casual visit to the school. Students at Hampton became really dissatisfied. It is a serious error to think that the impulse was merely an abuse of the students. It was a natural expression. A few weeks before the strike one of the men, who later took a leading part, said to them: "We have been in the severe years now, and there seem no solution to our problems. If any of the plain we are shipped away, there is always a long waiting. The kind of training we have is not the general salutation. The government itself is behind it." After talking with several students and sensing the situation, I remarked to more than a dozen Hampton. Something happened; led by the types of students in the institution, the large majority of them organized, the school closed, even than school authorities; school had closed, students sent home and the pressure unsympathetic and misled parents had to continue to operate 200 Students Gone Something has happened at Hampton: Practically two hundred of her best male students are away, largely because of their own choice. The students, their fellows, have been turned out into the world and their ungrateful people have abandoned them. The SAFE MODEL institution has been shaken; everybody in authority there is excited. Whereas a year ago any person could be a Christmas tree, now all such people are given 'another chance'; the student body was the entire holiday period for the first time more care is taken in the laundrying of men's suits. The "Student Council" has been invited to form an investigation into the growth of the "reels." B. C. Is Before Committee Various amusing sayings are african among Hampton since tension has been relieved, among what. Anything to place blame on someone C. Before The Committee. The midst of the strike the definite understanding was that no individual or groups of students would discuss issues involved with anybody. One day a student was asked if he thought that the committee would be better off court, but the answer was, "You better see the committee." Something was and still is fundamental wrong at Hampton. When I had spent hard days with the committee, I felt powerful and super-advertisement, hollowness-creatures, secretaries. subordinate galore, and too many white faces in places of authority. Many people have reactions. There is something call of this surface. Seventeen To One The Trustee Board of Hampton consists of seventeen persons, three of whom are southern whites, most of the others have powerful financial and political connections. Major R. R. Merton is the only Negro representative. Mr. Merton is bound to Hampton's administration and equally so to the old order. In a few hours the old Major "settled" the Tuskeece strike by dismissing almost three hundred students without any consideration of their grievances. The Administrative Board at Hampton has a personnel of seventeen, only one of whom is a Negro—Major A. W. Washington, who, though very congenial, is completely out of sympathy for the New Negro student, and can take no part in their program. He is a Hampton man of yesterday. There are ten schools at Hampton not one of these is headed by a Negro. Of the thirteen trades, two are under Negro directorial Blacksmithing and Bricklaying and Plastering. Dett And Turner Two other departments are headed by Negroes: Music, Dr. M. Dettie. Biologist, Dr. T. W. Turner, Dr. Turner is the only Negro head and the only African American head of an excellent, young men associated in its department. Mr. Lawrence Fennner, white, is in charge of a religious organization of Hammond area school students of Hammond area problems, talkine always of mean white people and how badly the Negro suffers. He is abolished in power, taking in the Y. M. C. A. program, dispersing of funds and everything else. The Negro community relations relation with other forces and organizations. Dining Room For Whites In the Holly Tree Inn, according to direct word from President Green, there is a small group of white guests who do not desire to speak with Negroes. Yes, something is wrong at Hampton. The school is run by whites, for white office holdings. The students rather than to serve the growing needs of a growing people. Narrow, poverty-streaked, War-mad Virginia needs at least one spot where students could be found. Several hundred students fought on that issue. Methods of discipline at Hampton have not kept pace with other developments. There is a growing sense that the Commandant himself, who has led the training of leaders on the Strike Committee yet a stiff army discipline, in the form of a big bluff, has been kept up. When molestations became sick of it they did the marital thing. DuBois-Gregz Nobody knows what the outcome of the Hamilton Strike will be. Of course, everybody knows President Gregg, the strikers were "unified" "disobedient," "disloyal," Mr. DuBois is "president" and "discourteous." The Trustee Board will endorse the administration. The Alumni will stand by ORDER and DISGREE. Bezeging or autocratic school heads will make difficult the future of Hampton's heroes. Parents and the general public will do what they want. A Few Changes A few changes will doubtless be made to the only enough to quiet the troubled waters. A safety net is, however, that HE PRESIDEN'T NOT be used on the office floor. Instead, Hampton will be sufficiently shaken to be a new different order—an administration with right policies. He has a normal condition of life. Hampton is simply a reproduction of the streets existing order: white supremacy. There are high type white men and women on the facade; but the rest of the city is equally white. The institute must be thrown open to competition—FOR COLORED AND WHITES. Whites who "come down to serve Negroes," must learn the art of working with Negroes and in adjunct positions. The insulting institutions of Jim Crowism must disappear. Negro youth must be taught colorless principles of experiences, armed to go out and chase a cruel order, and not made senseless automobiles to conform to it.

With "Old San Francisco" and "Shanghai Bound" on the program next week, the Regent is offering two of the season's choicest melodramas for its patrons. "Old San Francisco" slated for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, is a vivid picture of the Golden Gate in when Chinatown was more than a house or slumming parties and annually gathered their toll of "lost man" and wavers the city with their oblivious it by old Spain and the picturesqueness of the Barbary Coast, the whole impression is one of the old city which lost its real self in the "Great Fire." The story hinges around Dolores Costello, who is the rich heiress kidnapped by a half cast of the underworld. The horrors to which she is subjected by her captor and the plight of her lover, make up a tale that is replete with thrills for adventure seekers and a love story for the "Shanghai Bound" is a sea tale of adventuresome mariners in China. Milton Sills, hero of many "he-man" dramas, is the captain in this play, both of his ship and his lady love. The following week will bring two other special attractions, "On The Road To Romance" and "Seventh Heaven." "Garden Of Allah," Story Of Desert, And "Loves Of Carmen" Offerings At Royal Theatre In "The Garden Of Allah," the Royal's forte for the first half of next week, the romance of the desert and the loves of two Christians are portrayed on a Mohammedan background in the Orient. Filmed under the direction of Rex Ingram, who gave movie fans "The Four Horsemen," "Scaramouche" and "Mare Nostrum," the picture has been regarded by many as one of the year's select pieces or 1923 entertainment. Alice Terry, known for her roles in the "Sheak" and "Son of Sheik" with the late Rudolph Valentino, is starred with Iain Petrovich. Married to a former monk who has left a monastery, she is faced with the fact that he is suffering under some secret of the past. The question of whether his first duty is toward his wife or Catholicism brings to a cimax in which the future appears fearful. Beginning Thursday and continuing through Saturday, "Loves Of Carmen," short of its garsan opera searing, brings the lovely Delores De Peregrino, the famous soldier of old Spain, this romance of the named bull lighter and the lowly cultivate girl turned a keen study of Castillian history. Lon Chance is on the bill following week in "London After Midnight," according to W. A. Punchback, manager of the Royal. "The Millionaire," Drama Of Soldier Of Fortune, With With Race Cast. On Dumbar Screen "The Millionaire," the story of how a Pullman porter won a fortune in the Argentine and later came to the point of sacrificing his very soul to a heartless harlem suren, cones to the Dambar Theatre Monday and Tuesday. The play is a Micheaux production with an all race cast, starring Grace Smith, a Baltimore girl. The boy who saved his money and roamed the Pampas for 18 years while his brother delved in crime and neglected returns to his people after his long absence. The boy he meets Cena Weingarten, cabaret dancer who has become inflamed while the choice he hands to his intended go to the "Lizard," a notorious Harlem crook. How he comes to his senses and how the words of his old sense teacher come to him in times of need, form a tale that is not often portrayed in race productions. In the cast are J. Lawrence Criter, Cleo Demond, William Emmonison, Vera Bracken, S. T. Jacks, and E. G. Tatum. "Crimson Flash," New Serial, Begins At Star, "Prince Of Plains" On Screen Tuesday "The Crimson Flash" a mystery serial in which the action is hinged about a ruby worth a considerable fortune, begins at the Star Theatre on January 28 and continues every Saturday. Cullen Landis is starred. With plenty of crooks, a rich "sugar daddy" father in the east, a hedonic hero and a pretty girl, "The Crimson Flash" is not likely to become a movie star. On Tuesday "Prince Of The Plain" a Western drama from the short story "Victor Dolls" will be the feature. The play shows a girl who falls in love with a cute carfie young man, known as "Prince of the plains." The character is unfortunate in being marked for attention by a powerful gambler, who outlaws her lover and has him arrested for murder. How things begin to happen for the interesting screen drama that follows. Tx Maynard is the hero. "Women's Wares," a picture play of two department store girls who enter a modiste shop on Fifth avenue to fish for millionaires, is the offering for Thursday.

CHISUM TELLS WHY HE FAVORS LOWDEN "I know, personally, the men managing the political interests of the Governor and I regard them as representative of the best blood in the nation. At their head is Senator Clarence F. Buck, a business man, a successful farmer, an honorable, high class American citizen. WASHINGTON. — Just returned from a survey of the political situation in southern states, Melvin J. Chisum, field secretary of the National Negro Press Association and an efficiency expert, of Chicago. Tuesday urged a group of political leaders to form a commission to investigate Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, for the Republican presidential nomination. "Senator Buck is broad-minded and I think Governor Lowden made the finest choice possible in his selection. He is entirely free from race paired and Negro prejudice. Mr. Chisum arrived here. Monday He came from a trip into the states of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Mississippi. He was in the interest of Governor Lowden. He conferred here. Tuesday, with a group of political leaders, who will control delegations to the Republican convention in Kansas City now. nay: he "When Governor Lowden is President, as I expect him to be — I say, without fear of successful contradiction — the interests of the colored people of the nation being handled by Senator Buck will be in the sates hands since the passing of the great and immortal Mark Kanaa."

"Blue Eagle" Heads Films At Carey; "What Price Glory" "Coming Lost Of Mouth" A stupendous war epic, "The Blue Eagle" is the outstanding feature on the bill at the Carey next week. "The Blue Eagle" billed for Tuesday, is a virile type of big city and sea story. It stars George O'Brien in a role which takes him from the ocean of the Caribbean to the submarine. With scenes showing an entire battle fleet in action and the deadly work of an undersea boat, the film is not lacking in thrills. O'Brien is supported by Janet Gaynor, Margaret Livingston, and others who make up a capable cast. In "What Price Glory," coming January 30, one sees possibly the most pronounced indictment against war. Piccadilly is the place where the film takes place, the ambition needed for no perfectly good reason. Carey patterns will have the opportunity to get a new view of the World War when the film comes to the theatre.

Page Eight Just Baltimore BY OBSERVED Lines On Best Cooks After twenty years of murruring "I suppose you are right" when told and re-told that one about, "my mother is the best cook in the world." Observers care to challenge onine烹飨ers. An invitation to dine last week put a monkey wrench in the whole works. The folklore of supposed wonderful Maryland biscuits; chicken and other delicacies had a setback. Listening to him home, the writer of this column sat down to a repast of "cat heads, chicken, sweet potatoes and apple pie. Unfortunately, this convention theory came lady's rescue. The recessive lied about the repast. It didn't matter that those biscuits had been beaten too much and the shortening was too short, and the fowl of touch bird variety. I did it matter that potatoes weren't cooked quite enough and the bottom onine烹飾ers? cross of business. Convention must be served and the lady got her compliments on her culinary accomplishment. In fact, she's an artist as the palate torpeded writer expressed it. But the next one who comes around with that fairy tale will get the "razz berry." Lines On Debaters Lines According to Dean W. Haywood, who is one of the pillars of Macdonald College, the football, basketball and baseball squads are going to be supplemented by another team, an official group of debaters. Unless it was in the somewhat more remote past, the school has put more attention toward developing some physical prowess heroes. Erik Griffith and others got some pieces a few years back in their overseas combats with Cheyenne, St. Louis and Delaware State College. They represented a litter. with S. Randolph Edinburgh, who is already recognized for his dramatic work, the hope is for at least a half dozen "champion arguers". In addition to diverting some of the collegiate glory to some bespectacled lads with weak backs, should prove valuable later in resisting insurance agents and book-sellers. Lines On Weight Cards Over in the Northwest district we talk for the guy to know he is talking about one business man who an interesting display on the walls of his office. It consists of a number of cards from those penny scales which print your weight and the date. Now it is perfectly proper for a gentleman to keep up with his uss and declines in avoidups. tertie, he should do so. the one, however, has the figure Rovetight turned the wall so that fire cared for dead. He is rather cared for fortunes. All the cards in one of those good luck stories which you get in addition to your weight for your penny. The man be- ing interested in his weight and more to his fortune, the weighing machine trust is assured of one best customer as long as five best weight and keeps regular that one about the superior business abilities which should aid you in becoming a great executive. Lings On Women Mechanics If the advent of office machines continues in business a man will demand that a woman should know pipe fitting, wood turning and the kindred trades before he will recognize her as secretary. Downtown stationery and office supplies are examples that file cards automatically bookkeeping machines and electric whattops. So far race offices have not generally exceeded electric typewriters. Speaking from a futuristic view, however, Hampton and Tuskegee come in handy for farming and girls in a clean pair of overalls. This revolution will again start a class war: the ones who merely push the buttons for the darned things to get the work out will naturally feel above those common girls who attend to the machines. Lines On Democratic Eating Somehow it is hard to convince Observer that the big guy who operates the American Lunch Room (better call it stall) over in Richmond Matel is not at a undead level. One of them gets good fish and chops in greasy Maryland style, but how can he account for that corned beef and cabbage? One might get around the beef if he were really hungry and didn't have to notice, but you can't cobble the cook-waiter's Irish-like countenance. Not much class distinction to be found over there. With your coal man and perhaps garbage man on both sides of you if you drop around noon, on one side is dark Trishman and on the other good fish keep a fellow from asking for reservations. Lines On Ministers' Alliance According to Dr. Ernest Lyon, the new Ministers' Alliance, which was organized Thursday, must make education one of the biggest factors on its program if the cloth is to gain new respect and win back one of the sickening of the teachers can hardly read their Bibles is one of the boomerangs that is contributing to Satan's army. Another reason, he says, is that the secret orders own the dance hall, and the orders are made up of the church people. Protests are not made against the dances because the parsons do not want to disturb their bread checks. The other reason which the good doctor forgot to mention is that the youngsters wonder why the brothers of the cloth are forming an alliance in 1928. According to some of the older pastors, four such organizations have existed short periods here before. They collectiate Johnny and girl friends "the keeping one eye open to get the newest wrinkle in dance floor embraces, one ear is open to hear how their pastors are getting along in their "union for brotherhood and fellowship".

Wheatley president of the Federation of Parent-Teacher Clubs, deplored the fact that the second concert of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at Douglas High School was poorly attended, this cultural agency for the youth, she said, and slack attendance might cause it to be lost. At that time the holiday season was upon us. Too, there were and are some parents who have a number of children for whom they could afford. That price was a cowork, but unemployment of many parents made even that prohibitive. Last Saturday at the third concert the new price of ten cents went into effect. The auditorium was crowded, many patrons having to stand. Surely a demonstration is least indicative of the effort Baltimore to accept the better class of music when that acceptance involves no hardship. Here's hoping the price will remain the same, at least until the unemployment crisis is past. Getting Your Share According to the papers, Miller and Lyles, stars of "Shuffle Along," "Runnin Wild," and "Rang Tang" are preparing a new vehicle for Broadway to attempt the production also. That they know what will "click" and can stage it are no questions. While making the people laugh, gaining some fame and percentage, keeping many cases, is very desirable, the race group is also a worthy ambition. The two comics should be congratulated if they attempt producing on the White Way, and not sneered at if they do not succeed. Some failures be necessary before any of the large producers walk or that of any other producer who "buck" the obstacles in the game. New Move In Amateur Drama Following the debut of the Pioneer Little Theatre Players comes the seasonable bow of Morgan College. A new standard is being raised by the colleague group in producing a play that will be featured in seasons from Broadway. Herefordton, herefordton, college dramas were not written in the 20th century, or certainly in the early part of it. Braving a heavy royalty in face of a public that has not supported an academics largely, is an indication that the Morgan Club has confidence in the success of its forts. Perhaps, and here's a wish, that it is true, the portraying of ultra modern characters on the stages may mean the difference between an indifferent and an interested public. Say Woman Practiced Medicine WASHINGTON.-Following the complaint of Mrs. Mattle Hughes, 825 North Street, Elba Curl Hiawatha residing, 600 North Street, was arrested Monday on a warrant charging her with practicing medicine without a license. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md. —South's Biggest and Best Weekly "Carolina Nights," which is proclaimed a revue by the electric sign outside the Royal Theatre, proves to a musical comedy by "Doe Doe Grace," which she plays as the chief laughmaker, stealer of watermelons, mistreated husband, and errant New Yorker or better Harlemite, who puts on a party with plenty of glee with the reception. Green is an aid veteran of the boards, having played in Garland Anderson's "Appearances" in its Broadway premiers and several other White Way attractions. You ask for one of the best staged scenes of the musical, then it's the scarecrow ensemble dance. While lacking in precision and finesse in many of its numbers, the nine chorines put this one over adamant. Gladys Thompson and Frank Wattus, puts over some harmony singing that easily takes a bright place on the bill and a huge share of the applause. And Miss Thompson has the added touch of personality which she used on her audience during her solo warbling. Paul Floyd, who has played the entire gamut of heavy roles in musicals and revues, comes out as a Carolina youth with an ambition for concert singing. Arthur Porter, the old timer of Shuffle Along, goes as the cotton woven melon planter, working with Sadie Crawford as his "old lady." Also listed in the principals are Howard and Crawford, team dancers, who score mildly in taps and the black bottom; and Jula Levy, Oriental and character dancer. Miss Levy puts on a show without becoming suggestive. Evelyn Preer, lately of "Lulu Belle" and "Rang Tang," appears in a short sketch. "Everyday Life," with Edward Thompson. At the Monday performances the playlet was well received. Miss Preer and her husband receiving splendid ovations for their works and her indisposed and blood-sucking mate. They take no part in the musical.

Now far be it from me to indulge in the one chain of Bernard Taylor has to be being held in the Federal Court, being Juries, because you know E. B. as well as I do, know that he has other claims to fame, if such it is. The rest of us law abiding Baltimoreans, with hundreds of us dark skinned brethren walking around locals both courts were actually at daggers' ends over which would be honored with his services. Perhaps a difficult question to decide. In the Federal Court, the jurors at a chance to drink the evidence occasionally, but they only meet once a week, while in the Municipal Court the jurors work every day and get paid in accordance. The effect of the problem was felt in Washington and was the cause of death of one of our dark skinned brethren, whose name to orders for public hearings and publishes in the paper, will admit it. There was grave danger of Baltimore giving Uncle Sam a darn good liking about the matter. The trivial when compared to the question I am about to raise now. Is it possible that we shiglish, unappreciative Baltimoreans did not recognize the wonderful judicial talents that our Bernard must possess to be sought after as he is? But that is, we have done him a great injustice. Shame on us for allowing rank outsiders to reveal to us the qualities of our boy. We owe Bernard an apology, and, in atonement for the wrong we have done, I hereby start an "E. Bernard Taylor for Supreme Bench Boom." Of course, sensitive Bernard may ignore us completely and not choose to run, but at least my conscience is clear. CROOKED BUSINESS Two police detectives, Lieuts.

The Smith vote, which is of interest to the country by reason of the showing the New York Governor is making among colored voters, has jumped to 23 with Senator Reed of Missouri, polling four. Senator Reed is the only democrat with the exception of the Senator Reed to poll a vote. No votes were recorded for Governor Ritchie of Maryland.

The latest outstanding republican to face his hat in the ring is Senator Frank B. Willis of the state of Ohio. Ohioans remember that it was Senator Willis who, while Governor John Kasich was in Philadelphia, Pa., at a moving picture theatre, while in the state with a group of colored and white children at the Corn Boys Exposition, because the theatre was showing the "Birth Of A Nation". The senator declared that the purpose of the colored people and that so long as he was governor, the picture would not be shown in Ohio. Senator Willis was a Republican candidate to be voted for.

Call VE rnon 6016 Western Maryland Dairy Corporation Fairfield Farms Dairy, Incorporated We beg to announce the merger of our two Companies under a plan which makes it unnecessary to bring in additional capital or pay banking fees or arranging additional financing. We have not added to our overhead expenses. The purposes of the merger of our Companies are as follows: 1—To continue the management of Baltimore's Milk distribution in the hands of Baltimoreans who have spent their lives in this business and who are interested in Baltimore—there being danger of out of town interest getting control. 2—To keep the price of milk a fair one to both the Consumer and the Producer for the ever increasing expense of doing business would eventually make us ask for an increase in the price we sell at or a decrease in price we pay to meet these increasing expenses. This merger enables us to keep down expenses by eliminating duplications. 3—By making this a strictly Baltimore Company we are able to take care of the employees of the two Companies assure our customers of no increase in price and pay our producers of milk a fair return.

LOCKHART DEFENDS BASEBALL 'SLAVES' Says Players Have No Protection—Contracts Merely "Scraps Of Paper" NEED PLAYERS' UNION Managers Sing Blues And Fail To Pay Off Baseball players are characterized as slaves and managers as inhuman by George H. Lockhart, Caldagha meenii, in and Bacharach Giants' plucker, in a statement that the Bacharach Giants did not sell out in their World Series with the American Giants last fall, but were simply physically exhausted Referring to the World Series matter, Mr. Lockhart insists that due to the fact that the American Giants were in tip-top form, the Bacharach dropped the series, and further insists that the men in that series play Owners Ungrateful The Alabama mentor makes the comment that after six years observation of club owners he concludes that most of them are very ungrateful, that they don't expect a future, he believes, should receive 5 per cent more consideration than they have received in the past. Men have been playing for owners who knew absolutely nothing about the game and have been left with no choice but back to having salaries back for weeks and months, to fight in order to get their money. Mr. Lockhart, further explains that the work of the bail player is much more dangerous than that of many other members, and that the players themselves are markers. Scraps Of Paper Contracts, he continued, are merely useless pieces of paper so far as the individual players are concerned, being in the main in favor of the owners. According to Mr. Lockhart certain managers drove players to the dugout and clashed and then to give them any assurance of future work. When questioned, owners are said to sine the blues and point to depleted treasures. thic munt thic In speaking of men who were considered exceptional managers. Mr Lockhart mentioned Ed. Bolden, the Cuban Stars, Oscar Adams, of Birmingham, Robinson, of the Wilmington Potomacs, and John Dykes, of the needs, he explains, is a larger number of this type men with humanistic and alternative ideas concerning the rights and consideration of play. Predicts Union An organization that will look out for the interests of players is one of the greatest standing needs of basketball. We believe that the player of the future will be more sane and thoughtful than some of the present crop, and that we will be in order to help the National League out of its present dilemma.

Loc Turner Martin Turner Martin Young Brown Keller Simpson Dorsey —Victor Wright Photos Playing The Game By WILLIAM GIBSON C. P. T. Punctuality at basketball games in Baltimore has been conspicuous by its absence. This department does not recall a single game this season that started ON TIME. If there were any, we didn't see them. Games have been advertised to begin at 8:15 and have just gotten under way by 9:30 and others have varied in lateness from thirty minutes to one hour and a half. Team managers and players should do something to remedy this situation that most of the blue team rests with them. Both teams in the contests have put in late appearances and there was a multification of any forfeiture. One case the The charge has been repeatedly made that in no matter what way we see out to do, we are late in doing it. In sports, more so than in many other things, it seems that punctuality should go hand in hand with accuracy and team-work. Sportsmen, in particular, are punctuality. There are audacious attending these basketball games who probably have other engagements after the game and there are others engaging while sitting reslessly awaiting the start of the game. To these people it is unair. It is also unfair to the team members themselves, and it is entirely unacceptable. At 8:15 let's see that it starts at that time, otherwise change the hour on the placards that the paying public may know and thus put to good use these golden minutes test making for the referee's whistle. John M. Howe The death last week of "Jack" Howe, sports editor of the Philadelphia Tribune came as a distinct blow to his career, bed the press of a promising young writer. Just 30 years old, "Jack" had been a student from Lincoln in 1923, and during that time created a name for himself and distinction for the paper he served. A force of Baltimore schoolmen in the school in 1918, "Jack" had been prevented from much active participation in athletics due to a weak heart, but he was active in a managerial capacity. The Rev. Samuel Giles, who spoke at the funeral, was How's schoolmate high school and remained as well and well, and remained his friend, "Jack," burdened by his physical condition, from active participation in athletics, vowed to devote his frail heart to the cause of athletic deeds of those stronger than he. Time and again his pen brought inspiration to his alma mater and his sports events is commonly known. He was promoted to the position of sports editor a little more than a year ago and despite his illness, two weeks ago, he bed the copy for his regular column. He will be misled. He was a gentleman and a game sport, and the world is sorely in need of more like him. We Repeat We Repeat Last week this column called attention to the fact that the Morgan City team in their encounter with the Quaker City team. The encounter was not as stiff as we expected it to be for the Morgan City team, but it airheaded. We still hold that the encounter would have been of a much different nature had the REAL Quaker City team come here. We also mentioned another last week, and it concerned the tendency of "Rapp" Wheatley to take the team down to a minimum in the Friday afternoon he forward himself at one time, and when he leaped Troy ducked, precipitating him to the floor, the they were to make a basket. We so again, "Look for you leap, Rapp." Ouaker City Elks Baltimore basketball lovers had their appetites, whetted for a real snapper when they met the Quncker Chambers, formerly the Plankers. Played Morgan, Friday night. The fans had had hopes of seeing the Ceysey-Chambers. Belt or bear Cooper-Davis, the same combination that a week or two ago held the strong Renaissance five to a nine-point victory. This team was playing in New York, and the team that the fans had expected them here. It seems that the Philly team had booked the New England date first and rather than refuse the Morgan team, they had available. It was certainly unfair to the fans to advertise an attraction and then at the last minute fall to produce it. While the team that the fans had expected it, it was not the team that the fans paid their good money to see. Whoever is responsible for this mixture should be exposed and mistakes such turtles, regardless of their origin, have a demoralizing effect on the sport loving public and with Baltimore, awakening more and more to the ball such incidents do not save well. Heavy Gets Decision NEW YORK — Larry Creighton, scaling 184, won the decision in his four round bout with Mike Sankowitz, 189t, at Madison Square Garden. Friday night. Both men were knocked to do much damage, but Sankowitz was knocked to his knees in the second and received a bad cut over his eye. The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly HOWARD AND LINCOLN TO PLAY TH'NKSGIVING CONFIRMATION NEEDED Committees, representing Lincoln and Howard Universities, met at the Druid Hill Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. Saturday, and after two hours reached an agreement on the renewal of their contract for their Thanksgiving football game. The Howard committee, headed by Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Committee On Athletic Control, comprised the following members: Dean Dwight Holmes, representing the faculty, James M. Carter, representing the alumni, and James P. Goodwin, representing the student body. The Lincoln group, headed by Harold Grim, faculty director of athletics, Dean George Johnson, W. W. Wright, vice president, as members. Must Get O. K. Although the two committees came to terms here the contract is not binding until it has received the O. K. of the athletic councils of the two schools. However, it is expected that the approval of both schools will be received. There had been some talk of difficulty between the two schools, since Lincoln is still a member of the C. Athletic Conference and indications of such a difficulty were dispelled at the meeting here Saturday. Howard and Lincoln have been meeting on the gridiron for the first time since Thanksgiving battles, have been considered the classic football game of the season. The crowd of 20,000 at the game in 1927 is probably the largest to witness a college game. The contract when signed will be effective for two seasons and will insure football fans of two good games as Thanksgiving attractions. Neither of the coaches two schools was present at the meeting. FLOWERS WINS OVER BURNS BY DECISION To Tight Eddie Elkins Saturday. BROOKLYN, N. Y. — TAKEN by the lead at the outset and never relinquishing it. Bruce Flowers won the decision from Bobby Burns in a fast stepping six-rounder at the New Ridgewood Grove Club here Saturday, both batters seated in at 14:15 pounds. Flowers, by who many is believed to be the logical lightweight champion, was the first pitcher before the set-up and did not disappoint his backers. His effective use of the one-two punch was too much for Burns. The new pitcher was the first serious attack that Burns had suffered in his onward march. Young Flowers has been a consistent time and has been picked unofficially by the "Iron Duke" Mudroom of the State Athletic Commission as the logical opponent for Sammy Mander. Burns has been ordered to defend his crown within thirty days. His next boat will be on Saturday night, January 21, at the Olympic G. in Harlem. He will be Eddie Elkins in a ten round bout. Flowers and Sid Terris, white, were the first players to win West State Athletic Commission that they had been officially recognized as logical contenders for the *twelfth* championship era. m now worn by Summy Mundell. Lawson Aud Clisby Draw In K. C. Bout KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Bob Lawson. "Alabama Bearcat," and stabbleme of the late "Tiger" Flowers, fought ten grilling rounds to a draw in a game of pickup. In Jones' mail ticket, here last week. Friends and backers of Lawson insist that he was robbed of the decision, but Clisby put up a clever and shifty exhibition of fighting. Both sides used his left jab, which, although not dangerous, proved annoying to the California lad. Clisby opened the cut over Lawson's eye but was rushed by Lawson and Clisby, all the while. Clisby was letting Lawson do all the aggressive stuff and the pace began to tell on the "Bearcat" in the sixth. In the trading of matches Lawson seemed to have the edge and the crowd cried for a decision. Jimmy Black, featherweight, stabblemate of Gliesy, scored a knockout over the Knicks and Billy Lyons, of Des Moines, Iowa. Battling Young, welterweight, pummedlead Jack Byrd for two rounds, but was disqualified in the third for the bout was scheduled for six rounds. Harry Campbell, lightweight, battered Kortez Ols to the mat in the fourth for their bout. Ols never had a look-in. When Other Men Look!

The teams, both from Lincoln University, battled in a catch-catch can encounter in which three men were held guilty of the six fouls called by "Lanky" who, who appeared as referee. The other two just weren't called. After a half of plunging,趾搔ing, stiff-arming, and passing, the count read Signals 12, Kappas 11. Individual play was the order of the evening, although both teams, the Washington-Ware-Harmon-Silver combine was baffling at times to the Smiths' defense. "Big Boy" Tim-Tim, Singer-Singer, beat at will the Kappa line to toss the pill; the hoop. Incidentally this big yellow accounted for 14 points of nis The presence of Harmon, "Dick" Whittington, and "Chink" Wyatt in the Kappa line-up brought spirted excitement. The mons soon found himself sharing this applause as he boosted the Sigma scoring column. The scorers' books failed to tally at the close of the game, two mons compromising on a 24-32 count, but the actual score was 33-29. Lack of a whistle at the timers' save was responsible for the cuttings, but this time was tacked on in the second stanza. Whittington accounted for 10 points and Silvera garnered 9 markers for the Kappas, while Law caged 7 for the Sigma Preliminary In a snappy preliminary the Pontiac nosed out the Celtics by a 25-24 score. Both teams were weak on defense, but the Celtics had a number of unsuccessful long shots. McPherson, Baymore and Young played best for the winners while Allor, Dorsey and Diggs were the best players. Little Eddie Carroll, playing forward for the Pontiacs, was off, passing poorly and seemed unable to hold the ball at crucial moments. McPherson was high score with 9 points, but was dismissed in a game in the second half because of four personalists. RALEIGH. N.

Many games have been played in the timers had no stop time and a game was played recently without a time limit. A time-out was consequently delayed several minutes. Competent timers and scorers who understand the rules of basketball as well as the referee are needed in the game. The timers are the best. The game can see his every move.

The Athetian team, after a brief espite, should present a ready-to-combination and will probably start Lewis and Wyatt at forward, Jackson and Sheffey at guard, with Hacket jumping center. It is not certain that "Moe" Vere will start, although it is understood his injured knee is needed to treatment. Bishop, who sent to a house after the Eastern Sister trip, may get the starting call, however, it is certain that the East Baltimore lad will show his wares before the game ends. In the preliminary contest, which is scheduled for 8:15, the Harmony Five will meet the scruppy Unknown team. Following this game, the Greeks will depart for a two-week tour of the mid-west where they will battle with some of the leading teams in that territory.

Opening the second half, the locals continued their accurate caging chances at scoring, Payr and Johnson played best for the Va. State team, while Washington and Harrison were many of the visitors' scoring attempts. The former showing sensational form and pass success, Williams was relieved by Jenkins in both halves and, during the last five minutes, the exception. Gardner, with the exception of Gardner, played the visitors to a standstill. Saturday, January 21, Union will play Hampton here.

He put Howard on the map in basketball. He fired the imagination of the students and the spectators, for he was not only an efficient player; he was one of the most colorful and East in his day. Gilmore—Curtis—Gray He remains forever an unforgettable memory to those who saw him in his heyday, as he received a pass, wound his way with sinuous weavings in and out among, opposing, and even playing one possessed of a spell. Surrounded by such other players as Dr. Ed. Gray, now of Cincinnati; Dr. Arthur Curtis, Washington, D. C.; Nixon and Gilmore, the last two now both deceased, all of whom caught the contagion of "Hudysd's enthusiasm, Howard enjoyed a "golden age" of basketball for four years. Her teams were simply unbeatable in the game. Oliver, too, was a mainspring in the famous Washington Y. M. C. A. team of 190, directed by Dr. E. B. Henderson, director of athletics in Washington Hi schools, who played center. Inter-city amateur basketball of the highest order was then born in the East, and those years were the scenes of many stirring conflicts between the S.C. team, the N.Y. team, the New York City, Bob Lattimore, "Boy Press," now of Chicago, the Norman brothers, Gerald, Clifford, and Conrad, were the names with which to conjure in those days. Why can calculate the good that came from these efforts? Dr. Hudson Oliver Today "Huddy," or Dr. Hudson Oliver, to speak more correctly, still carries on in New York City.

Dr. Oliver has been elected Exalted Ruler of Monarch Lodge No. 45 several times, and is at present the lodge head of the great palace, just outside the Grand Lodge parade. Monarch is the largest and strongest lodges financially in the country. Under Dr. Oliver's early regime the membership jumped from 608 to 1700. It was largely through his efforts that, like Elks, were invited to take their seat by side with their white "Brother Bills" at the Silver Jubilee celebration of Elkdom in New York City. Dr. Oliver is a specialist in female surgery, conducting a clinic at the great Harlem Hospital. He is a member of the county, state and national medical associations, belongs to the Harlem Physician's reading club, and is in the National Negro Medical Association.

Missing from the visitors' line-up were Yancey, Chambers, Bethard, Cooper, Mitchell and Davis, all stalks of the aggregation that held the strong Renaissance five to a 33-23 score in Philadelphia and it was this combination, but they were disappointed, as the regular five was playing in Hartford, Conn. that same night. Fast Passing Shields, the team guard, was the first to break into the scoring column when he made good on a throw. Both teams exhibited scorers up the ball up and down the floor but failing to get within good firing range. "Pinky" Clark was here, there and smearing the visitors' passes, but the team made good a number of up-set shots directly under the basket. The Elks were timing their passing plays, were often ahead of them in stopping the play, as time and time passed, but were leap into the air to block a pass from brothers of the Elks' team accounted for some swift passing and at times had the Morgan defense guessing. The Morgan guards were covering up so close that the visitors were 'orced to attempt long shots most of the time' (Brown) and 'cutie' Brown was in almost every play and would frequently dive into a cluster of players, capture the ball and dribble down the court, stopping them to marshal his team-mates. Sheffield goal of the Bears during the first half. Troy, Quaker City forward, made a pretty timed shot when he ducked Wheatley's leap and nudged one from the ten-foot mark. The half ended with Morgan leading 9-3. Lanky Jones started the scoring in the second stanza when he followed the ball in for deuce. Troy potted a tree throw bringing his team's score to 10 points.

Shields scored in the following that the scoring machine was working with precision and Lanky, just getting warmed up, dragged three men with him to score one beneath the basket, and dragged another beneath the sneaked away from J. Shields, and deep in Morgan's territory, near the outside of the court, he looped an arm around the fence and was the cleanest and most difficult shot of the game and the stands went wild. To convince the fans that it was made Jones repeated with another one shot from almost the same angle. Many Fouls The visitors here sent in Bansome for Shields who was unable to keep up with Lanky Jones. "Marse" Hill, "Jack" Spencer and a Garrison were sent in by Morgan for Sheffey Clark and Wheatley, rebounding back in, when the visitors threatened. Twelve fouls were called on the Quaker City team against four called on Morgan and in several instances the fans booed Re:feree Gibson for some of his decisions. Jones led the scoring with 10 points followed by Sheffield with 9. Ransome. Quaker City center got two field goals and Campbell and Trov one each. Girls Play Fast In the preliminary game the Morcan College girls won from the Campfire Girls by a 16-10 score. Close guarding on the part of the Campfires and inaccurate shooting from close range by the Morran team prevented a larger score. The Morcan girls were taller and got the thumb on their opponents almost every time. Miss Offut starred for Morcan and was high scorer, but the irbibling, passing, and headiness of Miss Hawkins. Campfire forward was easily the outstanding feature of the game. Morgan Girls (11) G.P.P. G.P.P. Burnell.ff. 1 G.P.P. Hewinstr.ff. 2 G.P.P. Warner.ff. 1 G.P.P.

The Quaker City Elks, formerly Panthers, minus the services of six regulars, succeeded to the onstings of the Morgan Bears on Friday night in a fast lift that indicated by the 32-10 final score. Fast Passing Jones Stars Many Fouls Talking It Over Talking It Over AFRO Sports Editor Fans who saw the Morgan girls and the Campfire girls basketball game last Friday night registered sound approval of a female preliminary, a notable brand of ball and the game was by no means as feminine as some probably expected it to be. The style of play was identical to the personalities were called several times. There was a nice exhibition of dribbling and the play of Hawkins of the Miami Dolphins as was that of Ouf, of Morgan. We believe the fans would like to see these girls' teams mix it again. With Morgan dickering for a date here with the powerful Renaissance five, with a possible return game of the Miami Dolphins scheduled appearance of Morehouse and possibility of a Wilberforce game, local fans should have no kick about Morgan, the Athletics, the local Elks, and Howard are good drawing cards themselves, and with the booking position for these players the 1927-28 season should be one long remembered. Of all local sports, wrestling seems to be a dead issue. Football, basketball, baseball, boxing, bowling tenacity and strength make me stimulated an interest that it has a spread until quite a following has been built up, but wrestling seems to be a more popular sport to come we ask. And why not a good pool or billiard tournament once in a while? The suicide of "Bright Eyes" Goodloe in Memphis last week removes from the realm of turf one of the most popular sports in the lace, who took his own life after taking that of his wife, was without funds at the time of his death, but in his day was one of the most colossal sports in the maneuver a sulky. In his day pursues were not large and the winning of a race brought more in satisfaction than the winning of the jockey received. The dead man came up through the School and Wellfine stables long years ago and with his entries won his spurs, stimulated by the race he with life in such a way. Boxing fans are probably w.ndering about the coming bout between two heavyweights, that has been signed for January 23 in the Quaker City Kickoff. The fight will be Rickard's tournament and were relied in the promoter's "Who's Whos" to first and second places in group 3 of the heavyweight division. What bearing the decision Monday night will have on the championship aspirations of the Eiks is matter of contendency. Five players will be in the back and Jack Sharkey, Jack Dempsey, and Champion Gene Tunney in the first, still stand above them on the list. Godfrey, through his manager, has been with Harry Wills, saving saying that such a bout would have no bearing on his championship aspirations. We can't see much more in the Hansen set-to. It will be unfortunate if the Athenians and local Elks fail to return in another game here this season. Artur Eiks, the Athenian players is known to have made the Greek managers averse to playing another game, with the probability of having a win over the Athenian players. Veney Wratt, and Lewis suffered some nasty injuries that forced the latter two out of the game for a while. Hackett also stood some distance from injury by skillful dodging. While twelfous were called on the Athenians artist seven for the Elks the crowd of fans clearly saw that the Eiks were more vicious and deliberate nature. It would be a fine gesture if these two teams could get together and play another game—with the roughness left on the outskirts of the drawing cards and it is important that be their 'homefolks' they can't get along in harmony. We hope it is not true that the teams have or are to severe relations. Looking thru the scores last week we were interested in noting that a large number of court pictures were by large numbers two being very pointy points. Such a situation shows that some teams in developing their style of play have neglected to stress, the importance of good guarding, the importance of accurate players is of significance the matter of preventing the opponents to register. Some of the fastest men on the court have been guards and good shooters too. Covering up is as necessary as time, the importance of guarding race horses at forward make unusable combination. We hope the news coming from Boston concernine Sam Lanford is true. Sam, according to one Jim Tolmer, white, who has hired the old masser as a boxing instructor in his evm, is neither blind nor lame but can still dance about the ring. Some time ago ame Sam Lanford, one of his eyes when it was thought that 'c' was going blind.

He finds that she is extraordinarily beautiful, slangy, a habitue of Chicago's dance halls, cabarets, and gambling dens.

Ife deter mines to try to save Luana from such a life as she has started (0 live and break. the affair with Licbertini. Dick's younger brother, Cutie Lee, in- troduces Luana to night life in Baltimore. They attend a party and Luana is brought home intoxicated. Frank Carson, a mar- ried man living in the same apartment Bouse, seems, very pleased to discover ‘her weakness, ‘The next day ‘after the party’ started evilly for Luana Lee.

Her dislike of Carson was violent. “The miserable little viper.” she thought. to her self as she steadied her throbbing head with her hand. “For much, Id take this right up to that wife of his. I bet she‘d show him @ good time, all right!" ‘She crumpled the paper in her fingers and tossed it Inte a wastebasket,” but on’ second thought, she retrieved it, smoothed the wrinkies out of it and put it away in a corner of her bureau drawer. ‘So much for Carson.

Of all the things she most dreaded doing, Luana hated most to face Dick this morn- ng. “Nothing is quite embarrassins (oa per= son who has come off 4 spree as to face @ person ‘who does not go on sprees. “Well, I guess I may as well go out and ge: bawled out.” Luana decided. “Sooner it's over with. the better I'll feel.” Gutie’ was ih the kitchen, serambling _esgs. | smoking @ cigarette, and looking as fresh as {housh he had had eight hours sleep instead of | ree, “How's the Queen of Hot Sports"? he inquir- od gs Luana dragged herself in. "If you are talking about me, I feel miser- able.” answered Luana. “You look it,” grinned Cutie. “Where's Dick?” asked Luana. “Gone out,” said Culie and Luana breathed a great sigh of relief. “Yes,” continued Cutie. “Deacon Dick sat around with a woe-be-gone face all the morning. and then he dolled wp and roiled out. 1 guess he's gone to church to pray for us sinners.” He guessed wrong, All night long, Dick had thought of his problem of Liana. ‘How cond he best deal with her? How could he awaken her self-respect? How could he teach her seli-con- (rol, this willf) product of city vices? With that peapon could he fight heredity, environment and Inclination. No, this was not the time for prayer. Dick decided that if Luana was to be preserved for decent, womanhood, he must act and act quickly. Dick was one of these quiet, grave-eved men who have a surprisingly direct way of transfer- ing thought into action. + He did just one thinc—just one thin little rope to which he tied all his hopes of rescuing his fast sinking soul. He went to see Georgine. Georgine was. or hoped she was, Dick's best “nl, Dick, himself, had little to say’on the sub- ect. He was pleasant to Gcorgine, but he was ieasant to everyone.

There's alyays something going on of interest. in Chicago. You know how it is there. don't you?” Indeed Georgine did. She had often heard ot Chicago. It was 2 greai center of Negro life. Ne- avo art and music and civic progress were cen- tered in and were fostered by Chicago. It was a wonderfully interesting place, so Georgine had leamed, She told Dick all about Chicago and he listened quietly until she had finished. “Luana misses al! that activity,” said Dick sghon Georrine ended her leudation ot Chicago. “She finds Baltimore slow, the people unfriendly, and time drazs heavily on her hands.” “In fact.” Dick added, and he managed to put one most thovghiful expression, “T,_am Just about convinced that, considering my sister's Wel- fare. perhaps, itis best for me to go to Chicago 0 live." Here Georgine gave a little sereetch. She looked positively shocked. Dick go to Chicago! ‘That would never do. Why. that put a different. complexion on matters altogether. “Oh, “Dieky—boy,” grieved Georgine, “vou must not think of leaving Baltimore: Why, your sister hasn't had time even to meet any of our People yet. ‘I'm Just as sure as can be that she will be contented in Baltimore when she gets Ih a nice chele of people.” Goorgine was distressed, and showed it. She snuggled down close to Dick, “Til teli you what Til do. Dicky" she whis- pered, “Personally t think. your sister is a. fine Bitl," Do you think she would tike my crowd?” If this wes what Dick had been shooting at all along, he did not betray it by any eagerness. “T don't know, Georgine,” he answered doubt- fully, “Her tastes aren't very democratic. She 1s pecitliar.” “T know. T understand.” said Georeine, nod- ding her head. “But don't worry. Dick. ’ She'll like’ our girls. “And then she'll itke Baltimore. Just leave everything to me. Dicky—boy. Til see to it that she becomes interested in our town this winter. And don't you dare to even think of leaving us for Chicago,” Dick Lee smiled. “Don't want to.” he said; then added in @ word that chilled Georgine, “but T may have to.” “You Just. wait,” cautioned Georgine. “Don't be hasty. Let things take their course” That was just what Dick intended doing. Hav- ing done this much, he was satisfied to sit and wait and see what his work would bring forth. Accordingly. he dropped the subject of Luana. He sang and played for Georgine. All of Carrie Jacobs Bonds compositions: “At Dawning” and “Sweet Lil’ Feller”. He crooned some of Bur- leich’s spirituels. and sang some of Cook's lyrics.

Luena’s characteristic frame of mind was one of eager acceptance into any experience, so she promptly accepted Georrine's offer. 7 “Til come,” she sald. "I'll be delighted.” Soon Georgine whisked herself away, sur- prising Luana with a warm farewell, “You know, T like you awfully, Luana. Call me Georgine, won't you? And Jet's be frends?” ‘And she was gone, leaving Luana wondering where she purchased ‘her trickery little | frock, what was the name of her perfumes, and why the sudden friendly spirit.

Dick wanted to take the gin, and the jazz, and the man, Liebertini, out of Liiana’s life. Well, he must then ‘put something in to take their places, Accordingly. he had given her Georgine and ail Georgine's pieasures. " Having done this much. he sat quietly by to see how his scheme ‘would work out, So it happened that Luana Lee found herself occupying a place on the extreme ends of Balti- | more's social scale. "On one hand, towed by the energetic Geor- gine, she played’ cards with the best of society, winning prizes with such regularity thet even the most gullible members became slightly sus- Picious. ‘She danced at their dances. was invited lo their affairs.

All in all, Luana had a glorious time that fall and winter.’ Cutie had played remarkable foot- ball at Philadelphia that fall, | So remarkable that he ‘had gotten himself written up in the dailies and even Roger Pippen had given him a good line or two. Consequently, Cutie was more the Tage than ever, and great was the damage he did to the fair sex, 'AS. Soon as he was released from training he proceeded to indulge in a round of orgies in the cabarets of Philadelphia and the cubby holes of Harlem. To all these Luana was summoned and right willingly did she answer the call, Luana could only stand in reverence at Cuties ability to unearth a ‘big time place’ from the most un- expected pleces. like a magician pulling rabbits out of @ silk hat, In Harlem's dance rooms they were targets for all eyes.

Mr. Allen B. Doggett, Jr., editor of the magazine writes, "The publication is a contribution to published knowledge of insurance. Many of the facts cited are not generally known to the public. The fact that the Prudential Insurance Company, second largest company in America, will not issue any form of policy to Negroes and Tendencies in insurance relations with colored people upon the publication in 1898 of Frederick Hoffman's book "Race Traits and Tendencies in Negroes," he indicated that the entire Negro race would have died out by 1950 due to tuberculosis and social diseases, causing nearly all Negroes to re-enter or escape them up. During National Urban League meeting in New York last year following an address by the chairwoman of the Southern Workman articulation, took the Mr. Hoffman severely to task for his strictures upon the race and the false figures used in his book. The 387 life insurance companies into four classes according to their attitude on the Negro. It is interesting to note some of the contradiction in the way the New York Life employs Negro in its home office but very grudgingly insures only a special class, while the Metropolitan insures everybody but will give an employee a loan to help them money with which to build homes. The Metropolitan, it is reported, collects over a million dollars a week from Negroes alone without turning a dollar to them in wages or salaries. Twelve colored life insurance compiles have less insurance in force on their own people than they make a plea for race patronage of race companies in order to develop a reservoir of capital for mortgage loans and investments and for employment of Negroes who are coming out of our schools.

NEW YORK—Subjected to the most cruel treatment of mine guards hired by opera, jailed and dumped by the union, and company officials, the race unites the members of Pennsylvania are standing "pat" in their fight for unionism and fair wages, according to Charles Fulp, on the mission of aiding his fellows. Fulp is chairman of the Pennsylvania-Ohio Relief committee, a group consisting of an Italian, a Slovak and an American, who worked a life of 15,000 miles' families. Coming from McDonald, Pa., in the midst of the Washington County area, the organizer has worked as a member and has been president of his local. With the race suffering most in the new hardships which have come under the pressure of desperate for the militant trade unionists. The company officials are charged with setting white strikebreakers apart, and no charges are preferred against them. Hundreds of the workers were jailed two weeks ago, according to the organizer, and no specific charges are being filed. Many of the local union officials withholding strike funds and encouraging the mine owners to hire strikebreakers has reached the breaking point. The Primrose Mine, where Fulp worked, employs about 375 workers. The mine has 10 miles of the Carnegie Company and around Pittsburgh. In the main they are all fighters, according to pit committees being headed by race men in nearly all the operations. The race strikebreakers imported by the mine are reported to be mining the strikebreakers, and they learn the real attitude of the companies. Escape from their virtual state of peonage is necessary, and they are constantly guarded by mine guards. A mass meeting of Pulp's committee was held Sunday night at Mother Zion Community House here on 18618 The Teachers' Union. International Defense and American Negro Labor Congress are aiding the mission. Girl Among First 12 In Life Ins. Course NEWARK, N. J.—Miss R. B.

Firestones Plan Regular Boats Running To Their Rubber Plantations Chain Stores And Vocational Schools For Africans NEW YORK—Plans for developing Liberia into a winter resort with regular boat trips from New York will be revealed here Friday by Harry S. Firestone, Jr., son of the president of the rubber company which is in inaugural season there, just before sailing for West Africa. Mr. Firestone, a young college type said. "As you know, Liberia is a Negro republic, founded a hundred years ago by New England colonists. When it was founded, it left there for a hundred years.

Boy Pianist Plays For Afro Employees GIRL LIQUOR VICTIM GOOD MORNING JUDGE New Auto, Ragged Suit Suspicious, Jail The strong arm of the law stretched from Tampa, Fla., to the Monumental City and picked up John Nathans, 20, a native son, who traveled the way to Baltimore to obtain a job without being apprehended. Thursday, When Nathans stopped an officer at the corner of Howard and Lexington streets, the officer located the road to Philadelphia the officer became suspicious when he noticed the youth was driving a car and was wearing an old ragged suit. "Who's car is this?" questioned the limb of the law. "Mine," answered the boy. When the youth was unable to produce the proper credentials, he was arranged in the Central Police Station for investigation. "Where are you getting that car?" questioned the desk sergeant. "It's yours, how come you own a car like that and dress so shabby?" she explained Nathans. "I had to leave the city in a hurry, and, therefore, I was unable to change my clothes." It was pretty good, replied the sergeant. "Now, if you can answer this one. How does it happen that the car bearing your license number was reported stolen from Nathan Zycks, on January 8 in Tampa? Nathan could not explain and is being held 'or extradition.'" "Saying 'A Play In Three Acts' ACT ONE. SCENE ONE. The breakfast room of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Jefferson at 1220 N. Dellman Street on Thursday morning. Husband-Dad breakfast, as I am late for work. Wife—Now don't hurry me. You shouldn't lie in bed so long at the same time starting to place food on the bed. Husband (As he starts cutting eggs—Lauretta, come here and say grace. Wife (From the kitchen)—Is your ename paralyzed? Say your own name. Husband—I didn't ask you whether I was paralyzed or not. I asked you to say the blessing (voice growing louder). Now say it. Wife (Angered by the commandment to think at me. What do you think? Then the fight started in which Mrs Jefferson hurts, bottle at the husband's head and receives a punch in ACT TWO, SCENE TWO, Northwestern Police Station. Marshalez Onell-What is the trouble between you two? Wife-Judge, he murk in the fist when I refused to sate the girl. Husband-I get up to make her down. Your Honor, when she struck me over the head with a milk bottle. Marshalez-I will dismiss case if you both go home and say the trace together. ACT THREE, SCENE THREE, as act one, someone one. Husband-I have mercy this place and teach us both to say the grace Amen. When is junk not junk? That is the problem that confronted Judge Owens when Frederick Fagen, 89, Cumberland street, was arraigned before him in the Criminal Court charged with the jarcenv of a refrigerating machine, Friday. After the state had presented its case, and the evidence was taken to the effect that the machine valued at $600 was taken from a building at the corner of Pennsylvania and Pulmon Avenue, Fagen took the stand "Judge, Your Honor," he stated this charge is false, and those are categorical statements that the prosecutors have produced. "Why?" questioned His Honor. "To begin with, I will recite to you facts as I did when I was incarcerated. As I was ambuscated southward on Reisterstown road, I passed an unoccupied tract of land upon which this particular piece of machinery in question was reclinning among other apparently discarded pieces of mechanism, which I naturally assumed was of no further value to the previous owner, and therefore, arrived at the conclusion that it was what we commonly call junk. "I was embarrassed, to say the least, when upon my arrival in the minion of the law subjected me to the question, how concerned how I happened to my possession of the article in question. Then, seemingly, to add to my disclosure, informed me that just an article had been appropriated by some reprobate and that 7 must face charges of larceny." "Your recitation was very good, but do you think that I believe it? Hon. I happen that they value the machine at $600, and you say it's junk?" "Your point is decidedly well taken. Your Honor, but I am unfortunate! You happen that you on that score." replied Farr." "Well, the jailor will help you out on this score," replied the Judge. "Sixty days."

These certificates are good with any Sieberling dealer who joins in the contract. The result is that the motorist with a Sieberling Protected Service certificate not only gets free repairs from his local dealer but is assured hap in any other city or town where the local Sieberling dealer has entered the agreement.

ATTORNEY APPOINTMENT YET Leaders Expect Man To Be Named In City Office Early T. Wallis Lansey, manager Druid Laundry and prominent in local welfare work, was named to the Board of Supervisors of City Charities by Mayor Broening Monday and immediately confirmed by the City Council. Mr. Lansey was sworn in Tuesday morning and is the first appointee to be named to this board which handles all matters of charity to which the city appropriates money. As a member of this board Mr. Lansey will have an opportunity to influence the city's future attitude to Cheltenham and appropriations made to that institution. Not Political Friends who sought the appointment of Mr. Lansey say that there is no political significance attached, and that he was named because of his wide interest and experience in welfare work in the city. In fact, knowledge that he was being considered for this post came as a surprise. He is a republican by affiliation, but has not been active in politics. The appointee is a native Baltimore- and a product of the public schools. He is married, has five children and is a member of St. Xavier Catholic High School.

VE Attorney The appointment of an assistant in the office of the city attorney has not materialized yet. Leaders, in a position to kno, say the appointment will be made early this year. Arthur Briscoe, local attorney, seems to be the one slated for this post. School Board The announced resignation of Dr. Frank J. G. president of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and member of the Baltimore Board. has revived talk of a possible race appointment on that body. Republican leaders say Mayor Groening has expressed his willingness to appoint a member of the race on that body. The known intention of Dr. Goodnow to leave the country for an indefinite time will in all probability leave a vacancy and it is pointed out that this will give the republican organization a good chance to make this appointment. There is considerable talk in the downtown sections as to what the democrats will do to meet the formidable organization being perfected by the republicans. With the present trend, it is pointed out, the republican-prestige in the group is growing rapidly. Some talk is taking almost openly about heading the republicans off by making an appointment in the office of the state's attorney. Probe Woman's Death Coroner J. T.
