BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1928 SAYS SENATOR WISHED TO BE BORN COLORED Glass, (Dem., Va.), Storms At Bruce, (Dem., Md.). In Debate Monday SWANSON SAYS DIXIE ELECTION LAWS LEGAL South Circumvents 15th Amendment Says Bruce Urging Greater Tolerance WASHINGTON, D. C.— (Special)—Senator Carter Glass, (Dem., Va.), debating with Senator W. C. Bruce, (Dem., Md.), Monday referred to an unnamed senator as the only white man he knew on earth with a single exception who seemed to regret he was not born a Negro. When Senator Bruce asked him who the senator was, Senator Glass declined to answer. Swanson Heckled Swanson Interrupts A short speech by the Senator Swanson. (Dem., Dell.), made a long speech in which he was frequently beckoned by the other senators. Swanson sought to show that the South did not violate the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. His argument was that the South did not violate the tests, the so-called Understanding Clauses, and the poll taxes imposed by southern states to keep the Negro from the poll were not sufficient to these crimes and had been so passed on by the Supreme Court. Senator Stortridge. (Rep., Cal.), hecked Swanson so repeatedly that the Senator finally exploded and said. "The senator can consent himself to hear this or go out, just as he prefers." Senator Watson Interrupts Senator Watson. (Rep., ind.), interrupted to say that he did not believe the South was violating the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments but that the South was being violated because Congress did not refuse the representation of southern states which excluded certain persons from the polls. Swanson Admits Swanson admitted that the South was keeping thousands of colored people from the polls, but said it was done under the constitutional clause of ignorant, shiftless, corrupt voters. "The South has resolved to determine that no part of that section shall ever become a Hali or Santo Indian." "Suffrage laws, legal and constitutional, are and always will be invoked to save the happiest and fairest portraits of the nation, blinded by the ruling of ignorance and corruption." Senator Bruce Interrupts Senator Bruce interrupts to ask whether he would percentage of Negroes in the South vote and why it is so a much larger percentage of whites vote. Said Bruce, the right by the exercise of legal ingenity to nullify the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment, he asked to extricate ourselves from the op- pression of the Eighteenth Amendment, the Vollunt Act. He asked Senator Borah, (Ree, Idaho), came to the rescue of the Virginian by saving that he had been unable to and that he violated the Fifteenth Amendment. Borah said that statistics show that there were almost as many disfranchised, as there are blacks. Heflin-Bobs Up Over the protest of Senator Helfin, who previously asked for the floor at 2 o'clock Monday, Senator Bruce se-lered the conclusion of Swanson's speech.

She knows in the mingling of races their equality is discovered, and that in the mixed schools there can be no discriminatory capital punishment." The very fact that white America offers the Jim Crow school ought to make us reject it, for policies that serve themselves.

Senator Bruce's reply was that he did not allow the law meant to circumvent the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, the North Should be able to circumvent the 19th Amendment by legal means. He hops Up Senator Glass arose at this point to ask who could prevent the South from doing it.

He is becoming a better citizen. He certainly is in Maryland. Migration "Another thing, there has been a great efflux of Negroes from the South to northern communities in the South, and in the very great measure of political influence, measures which once suited the requirements of the South, and helped to supervise every respect, not just the measures on which the welfare of the South should be made to depend."

"The representation in Congress of those states where the ballot is reelected except for crime, should be reduced for in the Fourteenth Amendment. "It is my first conviction that lynching, peonage, Jim crow cars, and other crimes should appear if every citizen was protected in the exercise of his franchise. This right would not be denied if represe-ntation of such crimes the unfailing penalty for such denial. "We have a hard fight ahead of us, but it is our fight and we must be prepared. One else will make it for us. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." 2 Acquitted; 1 Held WASHINGTON, D.

White, Treasurer of the United States, slaughter there was no segregation in a department, but that in an hour a half of plain talk, the delegation was sent to Mr. Mills that it was generally understood segregation prevailed. The delegation, according to Mr. Thomas's report, inquired of Mr. Mills: "Mr. Secretary, do you mean discrimination here when out of the army of 67,000 people not one dwarf position is held by colored man who save woman in the Jim Crow division of the register of the Treasury?" Mr. Mills is reported to have promised at the conclusion of the interview that he would investigate the situation and inform the committee of the results of his investigation. It is generally understood that Cabinet Officers in Washington are none too eager to have the segregation issue raised in their deputy presidents' meetings, possibilities in the coming election and anything but pleasant for the persons involved.

Lollipop's Letter Last week we were alive with parties and quite the most brilliant was the one given by Madge Sheppard Hurst, the Jokers, the Jimbochs and many guests at the home of Annozean McCormick, the Bridge was the game. The spacious parlors make an ideal place to have a party, and the hostess does not want to leave the other than invite her guests, decide on the menu and purchase the prizes. There were thirteen tables, and many guests felt that that sinister evening, but when the gong sounded they were all off for the evening's struggle. By 11:30 the winners were finally in place, such a profusion of prizes. I saw three large brass bowls filled with fruit, nuts and figs; then I caught a glimpse of three exquisite shabaster dork clocks in odd colored frames; and lastly these huge Turkish towel throws that we all love as we energize the room. The winners were Gwendolyn Hughes Higginbothom, Jennie Mustapha and Bernice Cook; for the Jokers Maudie Rayford took the honors; and Francis Garvin, Pearl Curtis and Sallie Clark (all three running true to carried off the prizes for the guests. Mrs. Sadie Murphy, Mrs. Ruth Shipley, Miss Anita Thompson and Miss Kate Sheppard came over from Belfast. A delicious supper was served, and everybody went home hupow. and with the hope that more hostesses choose to entertain at Annozans. Isabelle Hall's Party Sometimes I 'vet to thinking about the way gifts and talents have been distributed among those whom I know, and it makes me blue to realize that I have been a part of the collectors along this line. Was over to Isabelle Hall's house last week, when she entertained her club at "Bridge" and I can't say when I've seen the movie. I don't really yet so subtly as I did there. The decorations were simple, yet so beautiful and so perfectly conceived and carried out that you just had a feeling that you were in the land of the artist, and your artist is an artist and just can't help it. The girls looked lovely, and added much to the tour ensemble. Well, as usual, Gladys Methlinger won first prize by the way the don't just give her the prize, she enters and save the others the suspense of hoping that they might win it. Frankie Thomas came along for the second prize. Trane Miller didn't know you, but you don't know you, Sallie Fisher Clarke and Alta Webb Clarke stayed at the head table all the evening, yet they didn't get any prizes. The supper was delicious and most dainfully needed, everyone just had a wonderful time. More Parties Caroline Calloway entertained the B.B.'s at her apartment on R street last week, and she had tables, and these girls really do study the game. C. Williams invited many of her friends in last Wednesday to meet her mother, Mrs. Clas. Chestnut, of Cleveland. It was a pleasure distinguishing her, distinguished visitor, and we all regretted that Mrs. Chestnut's stay was short. Thursday evening Jessie Paris entertained for Mrs. Chestnut. A sumptuous dinner was served for 12 ladies. More guests were invited the evening and cards were enjoyed. Mrs. Carrie Clifford entertained last Saturday in honor of Carrie Bond Day, the distinguished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percy Bond. Did you know that Dr. Hooton, who is professor in the Department of Anthropology of Harvard University? That is quite a distinction for one of our very own, and she will return to her school year, the school year, Mrs. Day; as I see I should not even though she is young, charming, and not one bit affected by all this recognition, has been a member of the faculty of Atlanta University for the past five years, and has done quite a bit of writing for magazines. The Brotherhood The Honorable A. Phillip Randolph, representing the Brotherhood Sleepy Hollow and the attorney for the Pullman, went before the Inter-State Commerce Commission last Saturday to present their respective sides. No evidence of misconduct has been reached yet, but it is expected in the near future. The big thing in the sport world of Washington, came off last Sat. evening, when Howard beat Morgan 10-6, and one of the best crowds that has yet graced the new Howard Gym was on hand to see the Bears win. The crowd was huge, L. Coats, "Freak," the two Jones, Pole Johnson, Beasley and Carpenter did the starring, "Lanky" Jones, and the crowd was huge, Beasley, Carpenter and Jimmie Jones cramped his style, "Pinkie" Clarke and Sheffey could not get away from the shackles on them. Time and time again the crowd went wild over a spectacular shot, however the game was not over, the Morgans Bearers weren't quite up to scratch, and Howard really played desperately. At the end of the game there was quite a bit wrangeling, a d J. D. Smith, but he didn't know what it was all about. Howard Beats Vets Last Wednesday evening, at the Howard Gym, the Bisons beat the Howard Vets (some of the old guard). The other did the worst. Simpson, George Washington, Archie Berry, Deck McClain and Bundrant. It was a good, fast game and the Bisons showed a lot of and displayed some good basketball. Sort O' Quiet The boys in the professional schools of Howard have their heads in their books, for this is exam time—and that accounts for such a large number of the Docs please note). The boys are cramming like the deuce and burning their midnight all—but after exams the "What-Good-Are-We" will call a session to celebrate, and then Washington will wake.

BRAGG CLAIMS Page Four MODERN DAY PREACH'R TERMED "FLABBY" God And Satan Both Said To Be Making Progress The modern day preacher is flabby, declared Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr. rector of St. James P. Church, speaking before the A. M. E. Masters' Meeting, Monday morning. Dr. Bragg was discussing a paper, "The Effect of Modern Day Preaching," read before the conference by A. M. E. Masters. The purpose of modern day preaching, Dr. Bragg said, was to get the spirit of Jesus Christ into the soul of man and results can be noticed by its effect upon the community. "The fact that we have crime waves is an indication that the pastor is not getting his message over. The preacher he said, can only get in touch with God through study and prayer. "An ignorant man cannot preach, God is wisdom, love and power." It is the business of the preacher, he said, and to become a religious and spiritual expert in the community. **ARA** The Rev. J. G. Martin said that in the change of times it is necessary for the preacher to quit shouting and to interpret the practical aspects of the Bible. Stiepauk said the pastors should be careful how they indict the ministry with flabbiness and lack of power. "If we indict ourselves, how can we get others to be we are trying?" No Modern Preachers The Rev. J. E. Lee said there was no such thing as a modern preacher. Preaching, he said, is the same to apostles and the present day preachers. have the same power. The Rev. L. D. Miller declared that the world accuses the ministry of being a priest, but the blame is not all on one side. "Both God and Satan are making progress," he declared, "and evil is more apparent than real in the world." The church's problem is with the middle class of people, said Dr. Miller, who are neither righteous nor wicked. The job is to convince these people that there is no middle ground and that they are either right or wrong, saved or damned." The Rev A. A. Murray said he had spent 15 years on his knees and wasted most of it when 15 seconds would have done. He added: "It was a great time to convince the world that Jesus saves now and that it is only necessary to say I truly believe on the Lord. Jesus Christ in order to be saved." Long waiting at the mourner's long waiter, Mr. Murray said, was unnecessary. Eloquence of the speaker carried the conference off its feet. The conference and the Love Feast ending with a general shaking of hands all around interrupted the meeting temporarily. Rev. Mr. Harris in his paper declared, "Some say this age is the worse of all ages. It is better. Some say religion is warning and wearing out. Some say religion is so many that despise the Christian religion. I believe there never was so many Christians or so many friends of the church so many that despise the Christian Committee Named On the suggestion of Dr. C. E. Stewart, a committee of seven was appointed to investigate in held in a number of white churches in which membership was advised that churches and clergy are not necessary for participation. The committee includes the Rev. J. C. Colbert, the Rev. Samuel Giles, the Rev. George F. Brgeg, Jr. the Rev. James C. Miller, the Rev. R. A. Greene, and the Rev. W. H. Manokoo. Following a talk by Charles C. Amy of Durham, N. C., representing Kittrell College, the meeting announced Rev C. E. Stewart the Rev J. E. Lee, the Rev P. J. Jordan and the Rev M. H. Davis, to determine what action the conference shall take toward railroad construction. Dr. Bragg To Speak "Struggle for Supremacy in the A. M. F.

Nathaniel H. Jelzil, evangelist at Mother Bethel A. M. E. Church here, exhorted an audience composed of men only, to exert their masculine superiority and cease being a "bunch of chippy-chasing men." Women, the evangelist stated, are expensive creatures. "Why, it takes a dozen, crazy, folish men to support one high-stepping, high-powered vamp," he shouted. In the minister's opinion the camps and flappers are running the men of today, who are to booth to take the situation in hands and exert their masculine superiority. Describing the American as a 'petitecat' man, the Rev. M. Jeltz pointed out that the men are weak willed and that they might strike some women's fancy. Women, consequently, have but to ask for something, and there is some jolly-backed man waiting to grant her request. The women are planned, and men will never be real men until they acquire some woman sense. Dellilah was a vamp' the Rev. Jeltz continued. "Look how she inveigled and ruined Samson. And the men of today—they are all broken down because of overindulgence in sex relations. Samson didn't have the sex sense at all. He just put his head in Dellilah's hip and did the rest." A. M. E.

Howard, an attorney of Vicksburg, Miss., said by many to be an Al speaker, is as work campaigning for Roosevelt on the Progressive ticket on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. He is in charge of the Rev. L. W. Deakins, an excellent Memoirist. The nation hardly knows what to make of the attempted assassination of Mr. Roosevelt. Many suppose and hope it will be the means of making power for the Progressive party, although the price paid is a very dear one. It may be that Roosevelt may forfeit his life as a sacrifice for his political activities. His friends hope that he will be spared to be inaugurated as president next March. Once president before by a bullet, maybe the bullet of this attempted assassin may make him president for a third term. Congressional Bookkeeping Congressional Bookkeeping DEBIT Senator Thomas Heflin* (Democrat Ala.) Attack Upon The Catholic Church The man from whom Hearts got the forged papers is a Roman Catholic. He testified that he obtained them from Roman Catholic clerks in the Mexican Government and that he told them he wanted the papers for Bishop Diaz, a Roman Catholic of Mexico. Hearts wife is a Roman Catholic. Senator Cole Blease (Democrat S. C.) Offers To Fight. Two remarks have been made upon this floor which I can not let go without having something to say. I have been from Montana [Mr. Walsh], that Senators who came here from the South after the Civil War were guilty of treason. The other was by the Senator from Pennsylvania [Mr. Reed] in reference to the South. I shall at another time answer my friend from Pennsylvania in reference to the Negro question in South Carolina, and the Senator from Montana, who has been so kind as to say that my father, and my brother, were four brothers, who fought in the Confederate Army, were guilty of treason. I shall answer that in a way that will be thoroughly and distinctly understood, and what I may will be responsible for. I will be of the Senate, at any time, in any way, and at any place that it suits any man who does not like it. Senator Walter F. George (Dem. Ga.) "Thinks" Colored Folk in Dixie May Vote. In my State and in every Southern State so far, I know the members of the Negro race may qualify and may vote. Approximately 3,000 of them in the last election for President in one city in my State did qualify and vote for the present Chief Executive of the United States. CREDIT Senator Josephus Robinson (Dem. Ark.) Says Senator Helfin Is a Fool. "Senator Helfin says that if I say here or in Arkansas or in Alabama that I am tired of hearing him abuse and denounce the Catholic Church, they will tar and feather me. That is illustrative, my friends, of how a good man can go wrong, and how far wrong he can go, and what a fool he can make of himself after he has gone wrong." Senator David A. Reed, (Rep. Penn.) Asks About Excluding Dixie Senate Fradulently Elected. "Does the Senator (Reed, Dem. Mo.) consider it to be corrupt and improper to suppress the Negro population in each of the Southern States? "I want to know whether, in the next Congress, the Senator, if he is here—applying this principle to men nominated in primaries from which all colored voters are excluded?" Senator C. C. Dill, (Rep. Wash.) Calls Intervention In Nebraska Foul Crime "When the Government of Nicaragua or any other country is in such a condition that the lives of our nationals are not safe it is the duty of us to protect them and to that extent I have no criticism of this Government to use whatever force is what has been done in Nicaragua. What I am criticising here is our actions out here, but it is the keeping of these armed forces there and sending more of them there, not merely to protect the lives of people who can not get out, but to put more lives there to be destroyed if necessary, merely for the purpose of protecting the investments of Americans." "We will not do it to a big country because it would mean war "In my judgment this one of the blackest, foulest crimes that has ever been committed. . . Pension For Pastors Pensions for the aged are a necessity, and especially for the aged pastors. The men who give themselves unselftishly for others during their productive years ought never to face the opteet of the amusehouse. Of an adequate pension system, the A. M. E. Zion Church Ministers and Laymen's Association in session last week in Knoxville, proposed a $500 a year pension for all ministers at the age of 70. The pension is to be paid from an endowment fund, raised yearly, according to the Association. The Zion Church ought not to deceive itself. The aged are as far from pensions as they ever were. The only way for an aged man to draw a $500 pension for 10 years is for him to put $5,000 away when he is young and productive. The guarantee this fund is for pastors to agree to pay a percentage of their salary each year into a denominational pension fund. If there were any other method of insurance, companies would long ago have discovered it. But there isn't. Denominations have tried to make sure they fund bv. endowment, and subscription campaigns. Peace and contentment in old age means sacrifice in youth. The principle applies to layman as well as preachers. It is time an intelllective teacher takes pensions and proceeded to raise them. Poverty Cause Of Crime Poverty Cause Of Crime From N. Y. Daily News. Speakers at a New York social welfare meeting attributed crime among Negroes to the same causes as provoke it among other people—namely, to poverty and lack of parental control CALL VE rmon 6016 The of children. The most recent. When Judge Lewis recently insulted the Negro he should have attacked, instead. The economic conditions under which the Negro citizens of this country suffer. They are made to demonstrate, the wonder is that they are discriminated against almost everywhere in industry. They are discriminated against almost everywhere educationally. They are made to demonstrate, the wonder is that they are as law-abiding and progressive as they are. Certainly, since it is the whites who keep the Negro in a subject position, it does not beoccur. They blame to blame the colored people for the results. DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES Negro Literature Ends an unusually active year in literature by and about the race group, "Ebony and Topaz," a collectively edited by Charles S. Gillard, whose close-up view of the present trend of Negro literature which young men and women will do well to study. Literature is generally either the surface expression of the underlying motivating forces developed in the Negro literature of the things for which they are striving. This is clearly brought out in "Ebony and Topaz," but long distant thinkers will be struck more by the changing trend in psychology than by the mere improvement in artistic treatment. When you read, for instance, the HOPE-LESS picture in "On the Road One Day," you will be told that Schuyler's satiric and veiled estimate of what white America would have been without the Negro, you get a significant and highly important picture of a character whose realization which is bound to crop out soon in everyday affairs, and in fact is already cropping out. A New Literary Emancipation For a long time Negro writers have had to write with their ears to the ground. They have had to please either a rigidly restrictive ethnic or a more rigidly restrictive Negro public. Much of the writing in this volume shows that there is still conscious deference to one or other of the authors. But there is a certain trend towards literary emancipation from catering to what either white or colored people may feel or think about. So LONG AS IT IS TRUE EXPRESSION This trend is permeating the whole field of Negro journalism and is an excellent indication that the race is seeking a mudsill foundation and that a destiny best suited to its own aspirations. So long as we have an inferiority complex and try to think what we believe white folks want us to think, our literary product will be less successful. The other hand it would be just as disastrous to try to express only what our own group thinks we should express. From both of these faults in general journalism as well as the higher reaches of literary expression. New York As A Literary Center If the prose and poetry of "Ebony and Topaz," however, give one the contrasts in the tone, the manner, the character, the drawings leave a certain misgiving. The influence of those little artistic groups found in highly congested centres where human minds take on the cubic slant is seen throughout the book, as being along the wave lengths of even our talented tenth. The fact is, a lot of drawings in the book seem to have been made with some one person in mind rather than the growing reading public. Too, it must be said of the volume as a whole, that the title "Ebony and Topaz" belongs appropriately to only a part of it. The aesthetic literary feasts as the words "Ebony and Topaz" denote, you are a little surprised to find corn beef and cabbage on the bill along with caviar. But the book marks the end of a glorious literary year in which group writers moved their horizon appreciably higher. Julla Pesterkin might have been given more space for her own writing, but she is still lachs." Some of these days an enterprising young author is going to spend a summer on one of those islands off the South Carolina coast, and the book of the year tucked in his brief case. Every young man and woman should read "Ebony and Toopaz." What Does Your Reading Bring You? Governor Fuller of Massachusetts, many times a millionaire, once said that he contributed his success to reading the editorial pages of the newspaper and things with too little nourishment in them. Men and women who read wisely develop the mental processes just as people who can wisely develop the physical ones. The successful people have also reserve stores of usable knowledge which they can command at the right time. Although not always the most interesting, the newspaper has always prepared section. Here are the days or week's results of the most highly trained minds of the newspaper organization. Men who have silted from the world's ever more digesting, them given you an expert analysis. Read the news of your paper; read the features of the newspaper; be most interested but don't miss the highly concentrated food on your editorial page. Another Contribution Of The American Negro Will somebody page George S. Schuyler, who always takes a satirical slant at the vaulted American white man with his inferiority complex, and tell him the story of Teen Jewett, who pretty close to adding another way in which the "blackamoor" contributes to the ascendency as bad as a gun shot. tou saw it purse those fauxious year used uses all of the paper, paper, though it all out and proceeded to black her neck, face, arms and hands and don a "Topsy" wig. Then she picked out the home of Mrs. Joseph Baker, white, whose jewels she had admired at some gala affair, when she herself as well she outraked up all the booty she could get and took a taxi to Manor hotel, where she lived. Detectives traced her there but found no evidence of her involvement, when she uncovered some of the jewelry in a fair white school girl's possession, and she confessed. Had she gotten away with it another contribution of what the Negro is contributing to Angola, she had been chalked up--A GOD METHOD WHEREBY THEY HIDE ANGLO SAXON CRIME Merited Award (Baltimore Evening Sun) The distinction of the Harmon awards to Negroes who have distinguished themselves in various ways in his career in various two manatee stands out because they are familiar to all the world. These are James Weldon Johnson, winner of a prize for literature, and Robert Nathaniel Dett, winner of a prize for music. Dett, in particular, is a worker whose reputation rests but little on his race. He has won other prizes which were not restricted to one section of the population, but were a Negro composer. He is a good composer, but as a good composer. His music is a contribution to the aesthetic pleasure of every race. He is appropriate that he should win a prize restricted to Negroes, for he is now making a contribution to the well-being of his own race. not the world in general. This is his work as a composer, and he is a ginia school for Negroes. As a composer he takes rank merely among musicians; but as a teacher in Hampton he has won the right to a high place among Negro leaders. His own people are according him the recognition he deserves. The Week (Continued From Page 1) "Mr. Hornsby talked too much," said the secretary of the Giants, thus settling the matter. Like Mr. Hornsby YOU also talk a great deal. If you want to own a hook, else fish further down the stream. Democrats Dine "This country is still a democracy in the making; a democracy that must fight for its existence. The conflict between Hamilton and Jefferson was not one of theories but of actualities. "Once the absorbing question was whether Federalism should be supreme within the Federal sphere or whether the states could nullify them. Governor, the states controlled by YOUR party, should be the Constitution lone ago as you can see by calling. Times brings many changes. Hamilton, always put down as the great republican, fought central government with YOU left out. Jefferson was the great American of Virginiaans who greatest men, fought for a government of the PEOPLE with you put in. Reed Lodge's Hamilton. The truth is thatarth will arise again according to the American poet. It breaks out often where least welcome. Often speeches are lones and hard to read but if they are made up of memoranda, this writer will go through them word for word and then to you. Words are words of the heart. News Of New York A sad note comes out of New York, usually a city where even death cuts but little figure. A secret store that is as large as the sports that more than 25 per cent of women in the Morals Courts are colored and more than one-fifth of the boys under 21 in the Tombs are colored. That is a disturbing report. Watch out for two or three more secretaries, workers, etc., for the Urban League. As long as morals of women are taken to court and the boys in the Tombs, the Tombs will catch as many colored boys as are necessary for the records and as few white boys as possible. Boys in the boys. Also, policemen and "investigators" have got to make a living. Two white gentlemen were heard on the manhole Henderson, of the Public Education Association. He helped colored boys in trouble because "race prejudice" wouldn't allow them to confide in white people. That child dreads the fire and fod dam will spread. Race consciousness is kept up by those who collect money from rich people to keep it down. As Daniel Jackson remarks, when worked up over politics, it is hard for some to tell whether they are afoot or horribly back. Another note and then you leave New York. P. C. Helbing, superintendent of refuge on Rancho Island (states institution for unfortunate children) and other children in New York do something for the poor children and Catholics do for theirs, colored children will continue to crowd jailhouses, penitentiaries and reformatories. Then, Mr. Helbing, prepare to see them come in, and people have been carried too long by others to do anything for themselves. Do not find that so. Then again, Catholics have one faith and one religion. That holds them together. Colored people have faith and profess all religions. That keeps them anon. So off the children go in the Black Marsh. Coolidge's Hayana Speech Follow Mr. Coolidge to Cuba. Years ago, before many who are reading these few lines were taken to Cuba. His orders were obeyed. Since McKinney's time you have lost ground, more in politics, government, than in land as surveyed. However, your president, your president. If you haven't time, or if you feel too tired to wake through such pleasant waters, get the children to read it to you. One evening at home won't read and reading Mr. Coolidge might loosen their minds. They will come across this sentence: THE WEEK THE ELECTIONUAL qualities of the Cuban people have won for them a monument place in science, art and literature. They have reached a position in the stability of their government, in the genuine expression of their values. In the recognized soundness of their public credit that has commanded universal respect and admiration. In many many exclaim. If your children are up on history, they might ask you: "Why, are not Cubans colored?" If you are up a little yourself you will answer. As soon as the president was taken around Havana he was shown the two great monuments of the city, both erected in honor of COLORED men. The most beautiful monument in the city was built in 1880. The other serious monument was in honor of Cuba's ONLY poet, Placido. COLORED. New Lincoln Shrine Although Lincoln's monument is human, and may be seen in YOU as you get about, shrimps and statues are still being erected to his memorial. Perhaps you read the report of the government's intention of overhauling the Ford thunderbird was murdered a few days after Lee's surrender. Lincoln always thought the veil his and probably felt he would go the way he did. The faithful will see God's hand in that tragedy. Lincoln was a man of great courage. Booth, the actor, played the leading role in the drama of the Union, when in the name of Virginia and secession, he murdered the Liberator. Lincoln was a man of which he knew the struggle of which he were slaves at its openings; was willing to be firm with freedom's foe where Lincoln might have been tender. In the nation's wounds was Lincoln's words in the Second Inaugural Grant, surgeon of conflict, knew the time to bind wounds. So again man proposes out God disposes. More the thunderbird will be heard, headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic, grandest of all associations of veterans. He prepared to hear some kind-hearted congratulations on the bill to be set aside concerning the building for the United Confederate Veterans or their children. Whereupon listen out for southern objects objection to the arrangement. Men make war by keeping it going long after peace has been declared. The building will be put in order by U. S. C. Army. The third grant is in charge of Uncle Sam's buildings and grounds. It will be fixed up as it was the night John Wilkes Boudreau murdered Lincoln, and achieved his ambition for public attention. Keep in mind, however, and tell the children that YOU and THEY are Lincoln's shrine. Keep in mind that YOU and THEY are Lincoln's shrine painted by the hand of gratitude.

To the Editor: Woman's Christian Temperance Union believes that the victory achieved eight years ago has contributed largely to the unequaled advance in our country's welfare. Our country has the fastest, distributing to wealth among all people, regardless of race or previous condition of servitude. Destination from drink has been greatly reduced. Drinking is rapidly going away with the slums. In place of drink, vice, poverty, and dirt we have a greater abundance of life, work, light, health, and happiness. Today's school children are more alert in mind and body and there are more of them at school. States and cities are today appropriating from the resources of the country and one amazing result of Prohibition is that students are coming forward faster than the building resources. Nearly every city has a shortage of school desks and our colleges are straining Opponents of Prohibition take partial results in wet cities and declare that deaths from alcoholism are doubling; or that drunkenness is increasing. No matter what they claim about any other issue, the United States has none of the evils they point out are as great as they were ten years ago; and that the entire United States is better of physically, morally, and materially. The death rate today is ten percent lower than it was ten years ago, and there are four million more life insurance policies this year, than last. The great majority of the American people welcome Prohibition and are doing well under its protection. (VIOLET HILL WHYTE. Cor. Secretary Maryland Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) Brooklyn, N. Y. Pastor Gives His Views On Stimulation At Concord Baptist Church. To the Editor: In an article in this paper last week headed: "Assistant Pastor at Concord Baptist Quiz," referring to the ministers of Brooklyn were branched as fighting the "aspiring domine" on the ground that he is "too good a preacher." If the Baptist ministers of Brooklyn are guilty of stifling the ministerial freedom of the Berean Baptist Church on the ground that he is "too good a preacher," they had just as well start another campaign, because when the Rev. Hoggard comes to town everybody will know he is a preacher. By the Baptist Ministers' Conference and the brethren in general, as being one of the most successful pastors and gifted preachers among young Baptist ministers throughout the country. Rev. Mr. Franklin knew he was taking a cooperate chance when he allowed his name to be used for the Beren Baptist Church. He was defeated and is taking his medicine like a real man. There may be a few narrow-minded ministers, but the real ministers welcome it. Ministers may come and ministers may go, but the real pastors remain. PORTLAND, PHILIPS, P pastor Brown Memorial Baptist Church; Secretary Ministers Conference, Brooklyn N. Y. Contradictions Contradictions To the Editor: Rev. Charles B. Dobson: The answers given by you—issue of January 21—are illogical. It is another one of those explanations that does not explain. These men claim to have seen and talked with God before Christ was born. That explanation may suffice for the morons of the world, but it does not explain that they have been many Bibles. The first Latin Bible originated in Africa. It was not until the fourteenth century that the Bible was translated into German, and not until the fifteenth that Bibles were printed in the principal languages of Europe. The first one, the one by Luttrein, the Dort King James; Genevan, French, besides the Danish and Swedish. Most of these differed from each other. The first English translation, 1538, in 1690 the first English Bible was written divided into verses. Under Henry vii, the Bible was revised again under Queen Elizabeth and once under King James. This last was used in the first English Bible in general use. Too it is "the Word of God." nor a diabolical forgery. I shall ask you to keep fresh in your mind, 1611, and the slaves of Africa, not to mention those of the United States. In King James' motive for writing the following: SELF-CONTRADICTIONS OF THE BIBLE Slaves and Oppression Ordained. Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmails, which thou shalt hail, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye bury bondmen and bondmails. Of the bondmen and bondmails that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy. . . They shall be your bondmen forever. (Lev. xxv, 44, 45, 46). Will sell your sons and daughters into the hand of the shepards, and bondmen shall seem to the Sabeans, to a goeater at war for the Lord hath spoken it (Joel iii, 8). Slavery and Oppression Forbidden Undo the heavy burdens. . . Let the oppressed go free. Break every yoke. (Is. ii, 6) be brought up as a stranger, nor oppress him. (Ex. xxii, 21). Neither be ye called masters. (Matt. xxiii, 10). There is to be a Resurrection of the Dead The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be saw by the shepards, saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. (Gen. xx, 10) were judged, every man according to his works. (Rev. xx, 12, 13). The hour is coming in the which all that are in the graver shall hear his voice, and shall come in (John v, 28, 29). For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised. (Cor. xv, 16.) There is to be No Resurrection of the Dead There is to be Consumed and vanished away, so that the goat consumed and vanished shall up no more. (Job vii. 9. The dead know not anything, neither have they any more a re- ward. (Eccl. ix. 5. ... They are dead, they shall be deceased, they shall not rise. (Isx. xvii. 14.) The Earth Is to Be Destroyed The earth also and the works that are there in shall be burned up. (2 Peter iii. 10. Hea- land and earth shall pass away. (Matt. xxii. 35.) The Earth Is Never to Be Destroyed Who aids the foundations of the earth that it should be burned up. (Ps. civ. 5.) But the earth abideth forever. (Eccl. i. 4.) Poverty Is a Blessing Blessed by ye poor. ... Woe unto you that are righ! (Luke vii. 20, 44. Rashot not God chosen the poor of this world, in rashot and heirs of the kingdom? (James ii. 5.) Riches 2 Blessingz The rich man's wealth is his strong tower, but the destruction of the poor is their poverty; but the destruction of the return unto the Almighty; then thus shall be侍职. Thus shall lay up gold as dust. (Job xxii, 23, 24) So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, for he had 14,000 camels and a thousand koe of oxen, and a thousand sheep. (Neither Poverty Nor Riches a Blessing Give me neither poverty nor riches, feed me with food convenient for me; lest I be full and deny them, and say, Who is the Lord? or lest I be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in the earth. (The Two Thieves Reviled Jesus The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. (Matt, xxvi, 44). And they that were crucified with him, reviled him. (Mark xv, 32). Only one of the Thieves Reviled Him. And one of the Thieves which were hanged railed on him. . . But the other answering, rebuked him, saying, Dost thou not fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? (Luke xxii, 39, 40). Jacob xxii, 39, 40) 189 Moore Street. Brooklyn, N. Y.

HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE BY RALPH MATTHEWS There has been a lot of good news going to waste around these parts. Ourustomte one-stop per carried an account of the first non-stop flight of our own Capt. Cheese Limburger, across the Chesapeake Bay. Police reserves were called out to keep back the milling crowds, which gathered at the foot of Pratt Street wharf to see the gallant young aviator hop off in his winged fliver, the "Spirit of St Vitus." We want Limby! We want Limby! rose the hue and cry as the excited spectators closed in around the plane. It was all the patrolmen could do to hold the man who had the tar and feathers. No sooner had the dangers of the perilous trip he was about to take been broadcast because it illuminated insurance companies sent their highest powered agents to write Limby millions of dollars worth of protection. So taxing would the long flight of 45 minutes be on his personal reserve, that the young Ace slept for five days before making the attempt. Some idea of his dogmatic personality can be obtained from the fact that he refused to an chum, or whatever, but carried along two chums, a leg of maltion, and three loaves of bread just to nibble on. When asked if this would be enough to tide him over, he answered in near dareded spirit of his. "It will be enough if I make it. If not, I will turn around and come back for more." Limb spent two hours and a half studying the air routes on his map before he realized he had been reading the annual death rate statistics compiled by the Urban League. The morbid crowds stood spell bound as Limburger crawled into the cockpit at exactly 11:40 Eastern Standard time, and sent up wild chums dragged out again at 2:16 Eastern Standard time and made to pay for his gas. His loving wife, attractively attired in conventional mourning, burst into tears, when the mechanics declared the plane to be perfectly safe and there was a chance of the flight ending successfully. A male quartette representing the Embauer's Union seneced the hero with two verses of his song "I Will Your Life," and responded to him with many "A Brave Man Lies Asleep In The Deep." His first experience at flying came when his old man's still exploded and blew off the roof. He learned parachute jumping from leaping out of a story windows with an umbrella when husband returned unexpectedly. Limby was ever a love aviator; his girl was constantly giving him the air. He was only in touch with the sky when he was when a nose dive on the pavement when a tough baby looped the loop on his chin. But hard kink! Wireless intelligence, just received, brings the glad tidings Lane has landed safely on the outskirts of Salisbury been acclaimed Baltimore's goodwill ambassador to the warlike tribes of the Eastern Shore. Limby was accepted with open arms right in the stronghold of the Democrat. He shook hands with the Mayor and was given a key to the city, which has a Yale look. The welcome was spontaneous, but the hospitality was careful, everything was naked down. Over night did insignificant Limburger become the man of the hour, the hero of the universe, the cheese in the welch rarebit. His wife was waked without mishap, for which Heaven be waisted. Saturday. Jan. 28, 1928 A Strong Reply To "In West Virginia" Dear Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your paper to make a brief reply to a writepost of West Virginia Lewis McMillan in a recent issue of the *Lewis McMillan* magazine. The follow head: "In West Virginia, Clergy, Out to Politicians. Mine Owners are Enlisted by a prince." To the impartial faimed minister of West Virginia needs no one to defend her name, which has been maliciously libelled and named by his Highness, the Hon. Lewis McMillan. We do not claim absolute perfection in the government of West Virginia headed at Charleston, but we do claim that it is more than a government fact. If Mr. McMillan had been in seeking the truth about the government of Virginia for the benefit of the readers of his article, he would have found that the government of the state had the enlightenment of the full rights of citizenship, citizenry without regard to race or color, that includes the right of suffrage and the right to hold office. We would have learned, had he been seen General Assembly of the state, that there was General Negro majestates in the state who hold positions through the suffrage of the people. One Negro whose district includes the county is the governor of the state and home of one of our Congressmen. Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia for eight successive terms of office, 1883-86, 1887-88, 1891-92. On School Board He might have learned that Negroes hold older positions as members of school boards and local government, and might have learned, had he been interested in giving the true status of our governmental affairs, that a liberator of the great state of West Virginia was the president of West Virginia that a Negro who holds a first grade certificate has recently been appointed to a position as instructor at Department of Mining. Mr. McMillan refers to owners of the coal industry as being a set of "serious able laborers who hire, hire and fire, and build cheap, low-cost machines." In his further adds that they, the operators, law unto themselves; they reap the profits from the coal and gas. Rising to heights in his body, Negroes are natural bounty echo and re-echo with the creature of the starved and enslaved and slaughtered. They are desecrated by these bold bodies who have stored for all people. I do not know where he claimed so much intrigue information about the mining industry of West Virginia are men of honor in the industry who have a personal interest in their employees. These men have made large investments in the industry to a reasonable profit on their investments. Directors of West Virginia are handicapped by discriminatory freight rates. Wages in many cases may not be entirely satisfactory to the miners, but the miners as a rule receive better wages and shorter hours than laborers of other industries. The Mine Workers Most of the miners of West Virginia are provided with eight rooms. Many of these rooms are well painted and have plastered walls with electric lights and water. The rent, water fuel and light rates are ten or so skewed dollars per month. Miners are not favored favorably with the camps of any other state. Our friend, Mr. McMillen, referred to the public schools as being under the control of the state. He said that the state could have found that the average length of the school term in West Virginia for white and colored is 160 days, and that Negro teachers on elementary and rural schools of the state receive a higher rate of attendance than Negroes. If he had been intensely interested in seeking the truth, he might have learned that West Virginia spends an average of Fifty-three percent of its students Negroes while his native state. South Carolina spends Five Dollars, ninety cents ($8.90). Biggest Joke Our erudite senior at the Bureau of Negro Welfare and Statistics as the State's best joke. He would have the readers believe that the director was too ignorant to explain the cuts in the budget and statistics and the statement which had been agreed to (the part of which, Mr. Editor, through your courtesy had already appeared in the columns of your paper. In his characteristic seeming eloquence, he only quoted one sentence from the statement. I endeavored to show him something of the health and economic survey which he is being made to present, and to explain it as being of sufficient importance to mention. He failed to ask the director anything about his qualifications. We have no idea where he received the information which he so generously provided. We have not learned the truth about the qualifications of the director, so we could have found out that he is an A.B. and A.M. of Shaw University, and that he graduated course in Sociology at Columbia University. We have not Hans the best authority in the field of Social Science in America. We might have informed the readers of his career by mentioning the enabling scores of disabled miners to have their claims adjusted so that they have been enabled to receive increased compensation ranging from Two Thousand and Five Hundred ($2,500.00) to more than a Trio Hundred ($500.00). Ministry Not Sold We deny the charge that all of the ministry of West Virginia, with the exception of Mercer, has left the state, is sold out, and the nine operators and politicians, or is enslaved by ignorance. As a whole, West Virginia can boast of ministry that will compare favorably with the minister of agriculture. He concludes with the following: "There is a question mark behind the future of Negroes in West Virginia." Give West Virginia a square deal and help him. J. W.

It was not applied to the advocates of a war against the power of war in the Russo-Turkish war of 1878-79. A popular song written by G. W. Hunt, and sung by a man named MacDermott, suggested the modern use of word. The first two lines of the chorus run: We don't want to fight, but by jingo, if we do. We've got the ships, we've got the men. From this circumstance the politicians who urged Premier D'Israeli to side with the Turks were called Jingoes. Since then the word extended to include rabid Patriots in general. | ‘Saturday, Jan. 28, 1928 __ Call VE ron 616° The /Affo“Aitrichn-—Baltimote, Md Souths Bigtett and Best Weekly _“viuattmnsmres gram” > _Page Saye VE mon 6016 °____ TNE Aho Ainerican—Balimste, Ma South's Biggest dnd Best Weekly “ugnaweayam ano Page Save WEEK’S PROGRAMS FOR BALTIMORE PICTURE THEATRES Countee And Yolande Loved In|( Page De Vinci | [YOUNG BARYTONE TO B STARR+SCALES CHAI Another World, Poems Reveal La — STUDY IN NEW YORK [____ Bue oy Poet tn26 __| "rg THEATRE Yories In Poet's Books Dedigated To Fi ete Ne anitse te pee : att Southern Owners Add Nei erses In Post's Books Dedicated To Fiancee Breathe | & ae ee ey | ieee Ean ae Y $50,000 Alabama House T ne ee ae ee ee ES eS SIN etre NTE 5 { /_ DUNBAR | p SPECIAL BANNER WEEK i To seecratgannen wees TI i] MONDAY—Big Special Feature Production : Two Reel Western and Pathe Fables i f <a j “Tl belong f Zor. } ‘to you~ | ete oe) > t a i Sa ] KE Ace caw oN S SA SRES Sesieee EONS — ee | A Pay | A ce BODY SY fq "AG We SOUL i BG S/N : Wat ] \rOUTH maried to middieege—Mey AWE i y wedded to December —can sich a Wa | CGT aap otsewe) Hees ons i ansiver, tuid in stich powerful drama as the tt scieen lias seldom seen! f ] with AILEEN PRINGLE, NORMAN ‘3 i KERRY, LIONEL BARRYMORE / i ) Servet phar by fa Gov ‘Pitter by Jon Farahani, i |e UKs y pi / ff | ED a Mak KY EE 6S, fe Iv Wa Fe SF S o N- Se e/a ayer i OS picture Countee Cullen and Yolande Du- no are eneaued.

F. GOFF Wealthy Cleveland Said He Liked Way Dett Walked HAMPTON, Va.—The fact that the late F. F. Goff, white, was attracted to him by the way he walked was largely responsible for the rise of R. Nathaniel Dett from a hotel waiter to an author- ity on music and winner of the Harmon award in music for 1921, the composer and director revealed last week. Mr. Dett, who heads the Hampstead Institute department of music, was the first composer to use a Negro theme for a classical composition at Dett's school at Dewey Park, Canada, October 11, 1882, he learned to play the piano as a boy and later became a writer at a hotel in Niagara Falls, N. Y. There the man Mr. Dett was entertained by his wife. When asked what his ambition was Mr. Dett replied a musical career. The hotel guest gave the youth the surprise of his life by offering to pay his bills through the necessary compter. Mr. Dett was not joking and enabled Mr. Dett to accomplish his desire. The composer attended Oliver Willis Conservatory, Lockport, N. Y., at first, and later entered Oberlin Conservatory. Mr. Dett's doctoral degree in music in 1888 Following his graduation he studied at Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania, American Conservatory (Chicago), and Harvard University. He was married to Miss Helen Ellis Smith, in 1816. Mr. Dett was church and social pianist at Nagara Falls from 1899 to 1911. At Lake College, Tenn., from 1908 to 1911. From there he went to Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City. Mo. and became a director at Hampton University. Compositions The composer has written a number of compositions which have taken leading rank in American music Among them are "The Magnolia Suite", for piano; In The Bottom Suite", for piano; or piano "The Baritone", for Charlot Jubilee "America The Beautiful", (chorus); "Enchantment Suite", or piano, and numerous other songs and anthems. Won Harvard Prize He won the Bowdoin prize from Harvard in 1920 for his essay, "Emancipation of Negro Music", and the Bott prize the same year there for his motet on the rave motive. "Don't Be Weary, Traveller." Mr. Dett, the National Association of Negro Musicians and is still one of the leading figures in the organization. He is organizer of the Musical Art Society. His alma mater, Oberlin, and Howard University, conferred degree of doctor of music upon him. The wife of the late Mr. Goff is still living in Cleveland, and she retains an interest in Mr. Dett, regarding him as a member of the family and applauding his rise to renown in the world of music.

ANIEL DET LOTHROP STODDARD REBUKED BY ARTIST The paper entitled "What Of It?" is a very masterly arrangement of the prominent Negro-phobis who recently re-identified his racial bias in a case of Alain LeBoy Locks in the Forum. Says Miss Richardson, "It would be well for him to realize that his outlined future for the two races, principally the preservation and undefinition of the white race, will not be neglected and patterned place he has designed and created. The hopes may be nothing but a delusion." "Judging from the authoritative manner in which Mr. Stoddard speaks, it would be assumed that the person has been consumed into and that no memoir has stated that "it will not abolish the color line, will not admit the Negro to social equality, will not open the door to racial amalgamation. Now I have no doubt that for those whom the essay is apologetic, this is exactly the essence of a character in the matter. But what a pity that Mr. Stoddard neglected inquiring of a few white Americans! "It is obvious that he overlooked the white parents of the four or five million mulatos in this country, to say nothing of those men and women who are not the parents of mulatos, but the graces of God or the use of bootlegger Serger literature. Of course, these mulatos will be attributed by a large number of persons who are only half informed on the subject. If at all, to surreptitious affairs between black women and white men in the nature of a slave, No Inherent Repurnance "True, a good many may be accounted for in this manner. But even this proves something. Where is the inherent Caucasian repugnance of the Negro race? For even in illicit one person, generally a traction.

Jail fearing, superstitious and ignorant types of revues was predicted by a prominent actress here last week. The race is perennial, shown in show itself the role of a black buffoon, and the whites will accept Negroes for what they are within a few years, was her assertion. The statement is hardly a new theory, decreases in the show's audience, and the desire for least more variety according to the opinion of many producers and actors with whom we have come in contact during several months. Would the blackface really face out of the picture and become just plain comedian, accepted and laughed when he gives out a good gag, he will still be considered the real pioneer in race theatricals. Beginning at time when white audiences acceded to the history of vaudeville, revues, musicals and extravaganzas has centered largely about him. The minister end man, now the minister in the state which have no revues, really opened the field for the profession. Chicago, city of high rentals and politicians who get money positions for their constituents, is making one more step ahead in the organization. The organization under the direction of Harrison Fervell, violinist, is composed of men from all walks of life, the stockards, factories and coal yards furnishing their quota. The department meets in February, according to men in the organization, and the promoters are starting a $5,000 campaign. James Young, local musician, was making fair headway here with a similar organization on a less pretentious scale. His orchestra, however, has been somewhat in the background since the two factions have been somewhat in arms over the church program. Having a few excellent bands and special concerts has been somewhat similar to the Symphony organization. Baltimore is hardly likely to follow Chicago's lead, for the time being at least. Morgan Artists At Afro Club Miss Velma Whyte, 1927, and Miss Jannie Lee Pettis, a student, were guest artists at the AFRO-AMERICAN Club at its Saturday meeting.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly CHICAGO — Experiences ranging from trumpeting with a white carnival company at the age of eight years to breaking the color line in Los Angeles' most exclusive night club have been in the colorful careers of the "Three Black Aces", comedy and dance team which has won distinction here in the de luxe theatres.

His parents operated honest with ourselves (if not the public), we cannot be sure what racial amalgamation would be to either the black or white race, never having given it complete trial. It being a matter which never can be merely tried either there will be or there will be an indication of the wrong. And likewise, whichever principle we will never have an indication from it of the measure of success or failure of the losink principle had it been the one chosen and followed."

THE AZTEC CABEZES MORE NEWS ZANE ANT OTZER WEEKLY."—Eugene Gordon, 1927 Survey. Saturday, Jan. 28, 1928 Writer Says New Race Group Can Not Regain Esthetic Ideals Of Ethiopians MUST CREATE OWN ART Independent Exhibitors Open NEW YORK—A renaissance of the highly developed art of old Africa is an impossible feat for the present Negro art movement, and the artist Achoy, while, writing in the Sunday World concerning the exhibit of race artists now at the International House. The best art of the race at present is behind, says the writer, is buried in the new ideas which have come to the Africans with the adjoining countries. However, believe that, a brilliant success is sheed for the artists if he will "create an art which will be an honest expression of his own individuality rather than medico-laboration of the art of another race" "The exhibition of creative works by Negro artists now on view at International House is an attempt to regain for the African race its old position of culture in the arts. It may be that in time these modern artists, will have become the groc art—an art which will be an expression of their present status of living. But a rebirth of that which flourished in Africa centuries ago and which has such a tremendous influence on modern art is both impossible and "examples of the best Negro art can hardly be found today. For one thing, the missionaries, in their religious fervor, were careful to destroy as many of them as possible, which now passes as primitive. Negro art is in rare imitations by semi or wholly civilized natives. "Nor can the present Negro art movement bring about the renascence of an art which was the direct expression of the life of a people unspoilt by civilization. Dr. Harvey Agree. In an interview Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, one of the sponsors of the exhibits, agreed with Achoy in part and explained the situation in which present artists find themselves: "Modern Negro art is only in its infancy," he explained. "Primitive African art cannot find expression in the art of our people today because our lives are economical and emotionally different from that of the monolithic exhibitors are young artists—young in years, and young because it is only now that they are having an opportunity to express their latent art. "This latent art could not find an outlier sooner because there had been no hope of winning an audience." The Society of Independent Artists has invited all and any race artists to exhibit with it. The availabilities of the sales and subjects which were strictly racial because of prejudice of whites has been closed almost entirely until recent years. Achoy commends Aaron Douglas, Palmer Davenport and Sargent Johnson for the tendering of an active racial work instead of imitations of the whites. In Chicago Theatres GRAND Irvin C.

CHASE PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Madame Florence Cole Talbert, internationally known dramatic soprano, who made her debut last season in grand opera in Italy, will sing at Moose Hull on February 9 on the occasion of founders' Day at Mercy Hospital. The numbers on her program have been appraised. not been. The soprano began her musical career at the age of eight years, undergoing Schubert's "Serenade" with unusual feeling and advanced interpretation at a school play, *Wood Nymph*. When interviewed at the home of her father, G. A. Sturray, in whom she is starring, in the city, she declared that inheritance had much to do with her success in music. Her mother attended all the best concerts before her daughter's birth. Her grandmother, a concerted on-the-cast when past the age of 70, was a member of the first race choir organized in Cincinnati. She boasted of being a descendant of a famous family of England, Madane Talbert was the only race number of her class at graduation from high school. She was selected as the class soloist and the ovation was given to her for continuing her fight for the larger recognition. Her teacher, Madane Hackley, took her to a performance of "Alda and that performance staged in addition to be presented by her singer. When asked what she thought of the future for Negro musicians of achievement, Madame Talbert spanned the years she worked in the store for Negro singers who come up to the standard. "They used to make allowance, but not so now" decaured Madame Talbert. "Once it was all right for her, he or she did right for 'colored' but now, and as you come up to their standards and they recognize you. Opportunities are more and more open, but music from members of the race, and it is good to note that this is becoming more and more evident. It is to our own people to back those who are aspiring to be music of the race. It is greater." So many Kadiere Musicians Madame Talbert is of the opinion that they are too many mediecore musicians, and this makes it hard for the others. She urges hard and patient study and through love of music for the arts sake. The soprano has an interesting and pleasing repertoire which consists of classical and modern songs, in Italian, German, French and Italian, and popular songs, and songs by race composers. Down Theatrical Lane BY WALTER L. REEVES, Jr. WASHINGTON. — "Sammyp," Graham, former manager of the Howard Theatre, rushed over to *Baltimore* the other night to see the Brown-Lombardo fight. Since leaving the famous *Brown House*, Graham has a world of offers from a press agent up to manager, and has declined them all. By the way, Sammy, who is the youngest 32nd degree Mason in the country planned another unit or office, and is giving the show business the once over again, decided to wait until a later date to open his revue "Business," in the midst of a financial crisis, ordering to Graham, and all those who are not in the field now had better stay out. In many instances the managers are not making expenses, and in other cases the money and keeping it, whereas the poor actor is just left out in the dark. Chorus Girls The first thing that pops into the mind of the average theatre goers is, "What is it, is it, who is the leading lady, what does she get, and oh, what about the choir, the orchestra, the trons and readers of the AFRO, the footlight prancers of the first-rate musical revues average from $25 to $30 per show." The second shows often shows get from $15 to $18 per week. Howard Players The announcement the other day that the Howard University Players, who are now under the direction of the university, play in the early spring, brought back memories of the days when the little group was quite active under Montgomery Gregory. To be exact, Montgomery was that of 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923. Gregory in those days was working hard to put the little theatre movement over, and too, to give the naive audience the chance to see it in dramatics. Classes were offered in dramatics and public speaking. There was also a little work shop. On the hill at that time, and figuring in the major production of "The Emperor Jones," were Alston Burleigh, who is now playing the "legit"; Jennings Newsome, associated with the Kirkwa and now married; Costumer Green James Cobb. Robert Bowdin, *Bulldog Williams*, the fellow who played in the University production of "The Emperor Jones"; Thelma Duncan, the act play produced by the Players, which is now among the collection of plays in the recent book of Negro Plays by Gregory and Alain Locke. Last year just some of those who as students were in the Gregory workshop. Under the present regime very little in regards to dramatics is ever seen. Last year at graduation, the group have a play, and too, the year before. Krigwa Players It was learned this week that the Krigwa Players, that little theatre force in trying to get under way on the road, has been meeting with hostile forces in trying to get under way on the road. The players have to have been given early in December at Dunbar High School, then came a last minute change to the road around January 15. Now the whole The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly TO STUDY ABROAD A. Jerome N. Addison, local barytone plans to go to Europe this fall for advanced studies. He goes to New York to study the arts and to attend of Abbie Mitchell, well known singer and teacher. business has been put off indefinitely. Just who could be pouring the fire in these neoplasms is what we all want to know. Willis Richardson, perhaps the most widely known playwright of the present day group is leading the revues and this time very successfully. Of course there is Jennings Newsome, formerly of the Howard Players, Edward Saunders, late of the revues, and this time gent and Bernard Pryor, also of the "legit" who assist Richardson. Among Richardson's best pieces are the "Flight of the Natives" and the "Flight of the Natives".

A.Lella Walker is hailed as the greatest race patroness of arts and letters by William Pickens, because of her establishment of "The Dark Tower," an artist's rendezvous, in her residence here. Mr. Pickens writes of the meeting program: "There those who have been invited to register as members can bring their friends and enjoy an evening of real informal human assessment, and usually the magnificent hostess of the occasion, and there is no stiffness anywhere. People may sing the music, or simply converse—as they like."

SAYS RAGE MINSTRELS BEGUN BY GERMANS SAYS RAGE MINSTRELS BEGUN BY GERMANS Writer Declares Ethel Waters Is Successor To Florence Mills FIRST SHOW IN 1820 PITTSBURGH, (PNS)—Nogrim minstrels were not originated by race people but by two Germans: George Seibel and George Seibel, white, in writing of the lead taken by colored performers, following Ethel Waters' treatment here at the Nikon Theatre. The writer states that Miss Waters is the logical successor of Florence Mills. In outlining the background of the present he says: "We have become accustomed to seating the audience in the honors in white productions. Earlier this season, when 'Weather Clear, Fast Past' was given at the Orchestra, we had ordered comedians and dancers, showed that they had more magnetism than Willard Kel's melodrama, Golden Dawn, and Show Bout colored singers scored the biggest hits. Several vaudeville turns of black-face have been above the average." "Of course, the Negro on the stage is nothing new. One of the strongest rivals of the great Edmund Kean an almost older Booth was in his Frederick I known as the African Rosusus. Aldridge appeared in Belfast as Othello, with Kean as Iago, and Kean praised him highly. There is a tradition that he was a slave and so learned the valiant Edmund's words and ways. But there's another tradition that his father was a preacher in a New York Negro church and that Ira was sent to the ministry, but drifted upon the stage. "Aldridge played Othello oftener than any other part, but also appeared as Aaron the Moor in Shapes, and as Titus Andronicus, "Nittus Andronicus," and in "Southerne's tragedy of 'Orocnoko," which also was a favorite with Kean and Junius Brutus Booth. Zanga, Rolla and Orcenzo about exhausted the tragedian, but with his limited possibilities Aldridge managed to get dec orations from the rulers of Russia, Austria and Frussia, besides playing in Brussels to enormous audiences. He used his color as a great stage asset. Madge Kendall, who played Desdemona with him, tells how one of his effects was gained by a white hand in his huge black hand during the course of the drama. First Race Company "But there is record of an all-black company appearing in New York City about 1820 or 1821. An old play bill advertisements "The African Company which is in Mercer street, rear of the One mile stone on Broadway." There is no other trace of this company or this theatre, but it is supposed to have been the place of many who arrived on the scene a century too soon. Our Negro minstrels, of course, were not originated by Negroes; in fact, the credit is with the African whose name smacks of the Rhine rather than the Kongo. Other Stars "That the Negroes should devote themselves to the musical stage is natural, although Eugene O'Neill gave one of their fine actors an opportunity to win fame in The Emperor Joan of Arc with the Negro has always excelled. Just about the best tenor appearing in concert today is Roland Hayes, a Negro. And just about the best composer in concert today is Coleridge Taylor, whose father came from Sierra Leone. His 'Hawatha' trilogy is full of melodic charm and native rhythmic effects. He has written incidental music. He has written live. Behrbohm Tree got him to furnish the music for many of Stephen Phillip's tragedies, like 'Herod,' 'Uysses,' 'Nero,' and 'Faust.' NEW YORK—Raymond Claymes, baryton, appeared in recital Thursday evening at Salem M. E. Church. Mr. Claymes, a graduate of W. public schools, presented a well balanced program, closing with three spiritual, two of which were arrangements by Burleigh. His numbers included the local ballet class. The artist was accompanied by Harry Williams. Hampton Club Tours HAMPTON INST.

Page Nine STOGIES AND DAMNS IN MORGAN DRAMA STOGIES AND DAMNS IN MORGAN DRAMA Dramatic Club's Presentation Of "Goose Hangs High" It Starless Affair PLAY AT ELKS' HALL Production Only Two Seasons From Broadway "THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH" A comedy-drama by Lewis Beech in his first feature film, *The Dreamdramatic Club*, S. Randolph Edmonds, director. **CHARACTERS** In order of their appearance Berna Ingalls, William Good-Good Eunice Ingalls, Nellie Henry Noel Doer, Leander Spencer Rhoda Rhoda Ione Thomas Julia Murda, Panda Pendleton Nugh Ingals, F. Carlton Moss Ronald Murdock Alain Johnson Bradley Ingals, Edward Carroll Bradley Ingals, Gertrude Carr Bradley Kimberley Walt Smith --- the somewhat remote period play, often expected by patrons on college dramas or theatrical Thursday night when the Morgan College Dramatic Club gave its performance of "The Goose Hangs High," a comedy two seasons from Brandon Wheeler. With many of the performers reaching any heights of stardom in its presentation, and several doing creditable characterizations of their roles, the club won its audience competition. The club distributed dams, bottle of analyzed liquor brought home by the wild collegian, Eddie Carroll; nor the cigars and cigarettes seemed so appealing to aaron's right direction. The play showed Bernard Ingals, a small city tax colector, and his wife, preparing to welcome home their children, who were being kept at a great sacrifice. Ingals and his wife live in a home rented from his mother-in-law, a retired old woman. The twins and an elder son come home, all wanting money from the parents and preparing to spend their Christmas vacation with friends. In the meantime Ingals is cuffed in about the city hall by the pollination society city councilman, and finally resigning in a fit of rage. Without a job and no chance for the twins to return to college, he becomes a broken man and youngsters deserving him and denouncing his unpreparedness to meet the crisis, they obtain positions and when they return to school when the horizons clear and obtains a better position. Eddie Carroll and Geraldine Tongue gave creditable interpretations of the movie, and collegians. When in the comedy parts, they put over laughs with a natural ease and showed up well in the movie. Henry came in for a warm reception as the mother. Mrs. Young, the "granny", whent in for the laurels in the movie, and received them. She was certainly old woman, but she approached the burlesque in interpreting the role, robbing it of all the grouchy old woman, but she approached the burlesque in interpreting the role, robbing it of all the grouchy atmosphere indicated by the text. James, Carr, who was starred last season in "The Noble Outcast," came as a councilman and a social climber, and was the one of the "600" provided one of the most pleasing spots on the entire productions. His part, however, was less successful, as lowling him no opportunity to delevon a character for which he was well fitted. F. Carlton Moss, playing the part of a police officer, seated to Dagmar Carroll (Geneva Rainey) and Walter Smith, as the infuriated politician, were given the biggest ovations, nearly "stopping" the crowd. Taken as a whole, and judged by college standards, which are justly different from professional one, the audience was a lauding success. Mr. Edmonds and the club officers made a forward step in presenting this type of drama and lead will doubtless be upon other amateur groups. Race Theme Wins 1927 Story Prize NEW YORK — Roark Bradford, white New Orleans author, whose writings, have been exclusively of southern race, people, his best friend, Henry Pope, for $500 for the best short story of 1827, it was announced here last week. The prize story "Child of God" was given June 4th. Bradford got the idea of his story while reporting hangings of Negroes for a New Orleans paper. The story shows the condemnation rather than one going to certain doom, relation proving stronger than the hangman's noose. An interview published in the Sunday New York World, the author says: "All my stories have been about Negro life. I was brought up on Tennessee plantation. I have known the Negro community seemed to picture Negroes as clowns, or as tragic characters. I felt that there was a field for an unprejudiced interpretation of the Negro. In the 1930s I tried to catch the primitive simplicity of the black people, which education and Northern influence have already destroyed."

"THE AFRO CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY." -Eugene Gordon, 1027 Survey. Saturday, Jan. 28 10:00 Talking It Over By Afro Sports Editor Humbert Fugazy—Coach Drew—At Wilberforce—A Joe Gans Story—S. E. Conference—A Blind Basketball Fan—Wrong Basketball Tactics. Hamicite boxers may yet get to look upon Humbert J. Fugazy as a sort of guardian angel. The promoter, so the story goes, after seeing the freeze act that 'Takes-us' Rickard pulled with the Sengambian boxers, is planning to build an arena in New York City, in which he plans to let FIGHTERS show their wares, regardless of creed or color. The illusion of entrepreneurship and will go the limit, to see the pastimeastic on the level. It is he who has been loud in praise of the Gator, or it is possible that he will match the Loyalties menace with some formidable foe ere much time passes. Rickard, with his control of Madison Square Garden, is all powerful in boxing circles. With the Gator, or literally make or break has resisted. The building of an indoor arena housing 22,000 people, will set up a team of 12 players and the leather pushers a chance to show their wares. We hope the proposed plan of Signor Fugazy may be carried through to a successful completion. Fans who saw the Morgan-Howard game Saturday night, especially those who have seen both teams in early action, a stunt given dead Morgan's doff. Howard played some of the best basketball seen this year and much credit is due Coach Howard. The team lacked the vim and scoring punch that it has displayed in previous performances. The four substitutes when Morgan was leading by a very scant margin seemed to many to be an unwise move, as the first stringers there just getting up steam to trawl the court. Coach Drew is not yet understood by the fans. Then to climax the evening and see how nice Victory and Howard timer had to rush off with the timers' watch. They're all talking around Wilberforce about "Hallie" Harding, who is looked upon as a sort of big mutter to the team. Harding, according to reports, has been quite disgruntled since football season—in fact, he has been disgruntled even longer than that. Harding, so the story goes, considered himself a bigger satellite in the athletic firmament than Coach Graves, himself, and consequently conspired to make him a star by taking some of the star basketballers from the "varsity fold". Coach Graves paid about as much attention to Harding as a deaf mute would have, and he has been his business turning out winners. Wilberforce topped the strong Savoy quint of Chicago, two weeks ago. Yes, they won the game, Mr. Harding to the contrary, notwithstanding. --- If you've heard this one about Joe Gans, you may skip this paragraph. Joe, old-timers say, was standing in a corner of the near corner. Drudl Hill saw her, and Eutaw SL, now a part of the AFRO building. There had been some sort of commotion in the street and the door ordered everybody off the sidewalk. To be standing in the doorway of your own place of business seemed to Gans a perfectly legitimate thing to No. 1000. No matter when your blood was spilled, force ordered him inside, and with an air of finality too. Across from Gans' place of business was the No. 1000. No matter when the same spilled, that one is now at Trussville and Eutaw street. "Inside n—"r", saith the officer. About fifteen minutes later he awoke in the engine house. Someone was standing in the corner. One punch did it and Gans gave himself up and paid a nominal fine. The Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is to be com-mitted in courage in making what it tenors "severe" courageous and far-facing changes since its foundation in 1910. "It is to be congratulated on its foresight and upon the general practicability of sections as those that pertain to the limit of participation, attendance, delinquency, et cetera. All of these are. But there is one section in which we believe the brethren are almighty at an almost Uptopian state of affairs. Not that they are so pessimistic concerning proxieship, reading: "Soliciting of athletes by coaches, members of the faculty, or by anyone acting for them, or any members of them, with W. W. W. if that it may be called, to believe that such prohibition is impractable. It is true that we aim at an ideal that may never attain, but in this case, we may members of the association, in their enthusiasm, over-shot their mark. If you have been to any of the games at the New Albert you certainly have seen a young fellow on the south end of the platform on which you sit. There is always a smile on his face and he always cheers a winner. You watch the ball speed back and forth, the court your blood may tinge on the creditment, but not as much as his. Wendell Amiss, who misses few games played in Baltimore, is blinded by the court, keep him away from the games. He has where others see and is one of the most ardent rooters to turn out at a basketball game. We were glad to get to the news that Coach Louis Watson is to be retained at Howard University—and for three wars, too. Coach Watson is the type of player who places his all about place would be much harder to fill than some of those who once clamored for his scalp realize. He's a likeable fellow, straightforward and square-shootin' and in addition he's all about. You couldn't expect much more in one man, could you? Did you ever make extensive plans, figuring on what someone else said they were going to do FOR you and then have them upset by what someone did TO you? If you have, you have to share with some of the teams that have worked in the guarantee of lets say, $125 of $150 and then get about $18 or $20.

TIMERS: Evans, Shields. SCORERS: Wright, Hawthorne. The timer of the shiller's whistle was about all that saved the Athenians from losing their game with the Delta Big Five, Friday night, as the locals were unable to locate the basket, but were adept at fouling the frat boys who, by dint of accurate foul cagging, crept up within nine points of the Greek tossers, who managed to win by a 24-15 score. Trotting out on the court with all their teammates, the lopez gave evidence of playing in top form, and, while they won the game they deserve no bouquets for doing so. Time and time again did they, despite the team's directive beneath the goal and lofting the ball into the ratters. Evidently the layoff that the tossers have had, had its effect, as the team was off in separate ratters, Delta also was not up to the standard of those former years. Slow Start In the Athenians' starting line-up were Allor and Bishop in forward; Thomas, center, and R. Sheffey and Thomas, center, and R. Sheffey and first to score when Hill, center, made good on a free throw after being fouled by Sheffey. Jackson, Athenian captain, put in a shot and shot shot. The passing game began to speed up a little and Wyatt was sent in for Bishop. Sheffey was here, and everyone smothering the passes of the D.C. boys and interfering in general with their caging plans, Hackett and Lewis entered the game, teammates, they too seemed unable to find out what it was all about. Seven points were all the locals could annex in visitors scored two via the foul line. Ailor Saves Day Were it not for Allor, the Athenians would have been in a sorry pickle, as time and again the flashy forward stepped out and snatched a basket to hoist the score for field goals. Allor too was off, as he missed several good chances—but to him goes the credit for the victory. Thomas sent two fielders through the cords back to the good defensive game. Veney couldn't get up a heat but not his personal just the same. Wyatt. Jackson. Lewis and Hackett connected for one of the goals were made good by the Greeks. Fouls Save Deltas Accurate caging of free throws was a decided assesment. The Deltas as well as the foul route. Hansberry and Hill connected for two baskets each. Campbell played a nice game a guard for the visitors and Cunard within his pivoting had the fans applauded.

Playing The Game By WILLIAM GIBSON Neutral Officials The mix-up at the Morgan-Howard basketball game Saturday night seems proof positive that there should be some different arrangements made for keeping time at the games. Only one watch was used, and the game Saturday night and the game was called at least a half minute before time. The Howard timer, immediately after the close of the game, removed property, from the table. The Morgan property timer insisted and proved that the allotted time was not up. It is now up, and the Howard timer, has on previous occasions caused controversies. Both teams, the defence, and the umpire, acquitted the game, but the little difference at the table set up an unpleasant dispute. For this reason we insist upon a neutral timer as the final aribiter in such disputes so that similar incidents may be avoided. Apologia William Elmer Bradley, manager of the Quaker City Elks' basketball team, writes in to set the public right on the 'whys and wherefores' of the game between the two teams, and an Elk team two weeks ago. Last week I called attention to the fact that a large number of dyded-in-the-wool basketball fans were disillusioned with the Elks did not appear on the local court as per the previous advertisement. I further stated that whoever was responsible for the up-up should be responsible for and call upon an explanation of the tangled situation. It is in this explanatory manner that Mr. Bradley writes, and I am not disillusioned with his letter which needs no further comment: My dear Sir: In reference to the basketball game in Baltimore on last Friday evening for the Fort Wayne City Elks, the officials of Morgan College and the fans of Baltimore an apology. I want to assure them that no attempt was made to fool them when we sent down part of our squad to engage in the contest. Black Man's Burden To be all dressed up with no place to go. is bad enough but to be all dressed up with SOME PLACE to no and then be KEPT FROM GOING, seems to us. or be even worse. This is the sort of fix that. George Godfrey, Bruce Flowers, Reginald Sikl, and a host of others are in. Godfrey, sable dose of Black Lightening, cyeptel the Black Slit, al. despite his recent signing with Paulino Uzumdum, the late Los Angeles native and George Washington's birthday, is still out in the cold. Tex Rickard, Promoter Omnipotent, and whip-holder extraordinary, has done much to exert himself, exiled, in his attempt to keep the dusky battler from getting a peep-in on things 'higher up' Godfrey deserves a record. It is treated with about the same courtesy of a cat at a rodent convention. The proposed bolt with which Godfrey was placed and place in Group 3 of Tex Rickard's OWN rating of heavyweights, was a fizzle. The big Swede seconded the bolt and asserters that when Jimmy Daugherty tried to talk turkey to them he found himself stepping in circles, revolving from manager to manager. Thus he nightly died abnormally. Then there's Bruce Flowers who twice put the hoo-doo on Eddie Ekins, the former N.Y. State guard and the Harlem battle at the Olympia A. C. Saturday night. Bruce and his manager, Harry Tarn, set their plan to arm the 12-year-old Army with a certified check for $2,500. The pair called at the Boxing Commission and stated their plans. "But you may put on the sloves with Sid Terris, and then we'll consider the winner of that bout as a logical underfender for the battle with Sammy. Everything seemed to be O. K from this point and Bruce had visions of a bout with Terris when Jess McMahon sends out orders that in order to meet Terris, Flowers must interrupt the wrench. Not that it seemed any too unreasonable that Flowers should emerge victorious to get the bout, but after promising him the Terris bout without any restrictions on it, to come along and put the Elkins on the path, seemed a little mysterious. DUNBARS SWING SCYTHE WASHINGTON, D.

The Howard Bison, smarting under a series of early season feats, surprised an over-confident Morgan Bear, Saturday night in the Howard gym, outpaced and outgeneraled him, and played the short end of a 31-29 score. The game was protested by Coach Drew and Capt. Jones, of Morgan, who called before the official time had expired. As the final whistle blew, Paline. Howard score, took the time to get the dressing room. He was a later found, and examination of the watch, which was Morgan's property, showed that he had practically 30 seconds too soon. The crowd had now surged on the floor and Referee Westmorland and Uni-College declared the game won by Howard. The inability of the Morganites to shoot fouls was one cause of their defeat as the Baltimore lads made it worse. Morgan made 12 Tide goals. Howl 1. Howard shot 9 out of 13 free tosses, Beasley, Howard, center, started the scoring early in the game, when he made good on a free throw and then he compensated for this by sneaking away for one of his corner-shots and slipping one through the cords. The Morgan passing game was a big success. "Lanky" Jones and "Pinky" Clark were neglecting opportunities to score. The Howard guards were getting on to Sheffler's corner shot and began to run on him, and rushed him so, in several of them his alm was poor. Many Fouls Referee Westmoreland was calling fouls right and left. Howard losing her two best centers. Beasley and曼德勒 were on the right route. Beasley had his foul shooting eye on the basket and dropped in three free throws and one field goal taking the bench. Flint's Clark was going like the punch, often setting within the fifteen foot zone and then refusing to take a try at the basket. "Ramp" Whatley was in the thick of thines, breaking the outfit of the guardian. "Cuttle" Brown was covering up in fine style. The play of both teams was fast and the guardian was close. Coates was the first frame, being guarded closely and being consequently rushed in his one range firing. Jerome Woods, the head player, was the mainstay of the Howard accretion. time and time again, stealing his teammates when they threatened to wilt under the rapid pace. The score at the end of first half was Morgan 12; Howard 10. The Second Half Both teams entered the second half with a burst of speed, but Morgan slowed up soon, and that eventually meant a good bait in their defeat. The team was able to win with a caulital B and were beginning to find the weak spots in the Morgan defense. The dribbling of Johnson, Howard guard, was a slight to the left. Johnson shifty ladd wave his way in and out of a mass of players, keeping possession of the ball until he saw a team mate in scoring position. The team gave a little here and showed the fans that only one hand is needed in basketball. "Lanky" shot 3 in succession. Goals by Sheffey and Clark gave the team lead and with the score 21-16, Coach Drew took out everyone but Jones. It was the sending in of these cold men. Thomas. Garrettson. "Marse" Hill. and "Jack" Spencer. that gave Howard the jump. While they were guns started barking and "Bill" Carmerton shipped off for three successive field goals. Spencer made one goal and When they were rushed back into the game, but the Howard lads had gotten in some licks that served to unnerve the Baltimore boys. the team had some of the chances that he had been passing up in the first half, but with the strain of playing catch-up was able to make good on only about 20 of the missing shots in the first half, saunted his peeers and found the basket. Twice did he cut the cords from almost mid-floor, always sneak on the right side back. Woods, too, did a little gum stink and chin, and he was still trimming. Jones, who was seated center for Carpenter, who was banished with four personal things availible, and who had gone before the Morrison defense, been sucked in trailing Coates and Johnson. Morgan braced up and three times did the score see-saw him. The score was gotten, got in a couple of his favorites, and Brown dropped one in. The timer's whistle blew with the score over. Referee Westmoreland called a foul against Howard. That Morrison was not given a chance, but four that were of contention, but Referee Westmoreland over-ruled this protest as he had done that concerning stoppage. Referee Westmoreland up. It was practically twenty minutes after the timer's whistle had before the score was officially settled. Morgan Frosh Win HOW. FROSH G. GO. P.O.

You can stop them now with Cromulsion, an emulsified cresse that is pleasant to take. Cromulsion is a new medical discovery with Cromulsion, it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, cresse is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other troubles. Cromulsion contains, in addition to cresse, healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the cresse goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the cresse. Cromulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flun. It does not relieve any cough or colds not relieved by other directions. Ask your drugist. (adv.) PETER A.

Do go down and see Anita Thompson's Art Studio. Yes it is! Anita Thompson's Art Studio is on avenue. Well, that's true, she has the entire apartment and it's a daring, too. Anita Ruth Shipley has to do is open her room. Sure, she has a room. Sure the houses are right next to each other, and you would think you were in an art studio. Anita Dent: so often Ruth and Anita cook together. But the studio—already Anita has adapted her art to beautifying it by inking and painting. In fourth, in artistic work and is ready. I have heard, to accept orders along that line or to give lessons. Indeed she is the art school in schools here, and you know she must be good. ADELPHIAN DANCE Listen, Panay, I wonder if the invitations are yet for the Adelphian dance on the same day. You're going to put on some affair. None has ever come up to them yet, and they tell me at this one, you got to go to some place. If you get an invitation, let me know. The Giltilegs are giving one on the same day as the Giltilegs, to include mostly the same bunch. I guess, then, the folks will attend them both. It's good, good affairs come off on the same evening. IS IT TRUE EDITH? Indeed I can't get a thing out of Edith Mechenke. All she does is to smile, but they tell me the diamond ring Calvin Ash Jute. In June, it's a dream of a ring, all right.

A MINUTE WITH OUR ADVRTE'S More Progressive Companies Join Our Family This Week BLACK AND WHITE IS THE BIGGEST Making A Big Bid For Race Patronage In This Territory The latest recruit to the AFRO'S ever growing family of advertisers is the Plough Chemical Company of Memphis, Tenn., manufacturers of Black and White toilet preparations, St. Joseph's asphir. St. Joseph's G. F. P. and Prescription G.2223 This company which is one of the largest manufacturers of toilet preparations and patent medicines in the world, is known for its thoroughness with which it covers the Atlantic Seabord, and because of the high class of readers it serves. They have been convinced that nowhere else in this territory is it poserous and thrifty clientele they wish to serve through the AFRO. Their copy will appear regularly each week throughout the coming years. They make high-grade articles which are well-known in the homes of our readers. Announcement is made of the joining of the Western Maryland and Fairfield Farm Dairies. This merger makes possible a larger and better size of this household necessity, and likewise allows the company to keep from increasing the cost of their product to the consumer, which means a large and distinct saving to the family bankroll. They have assured their customers the same high quality milk and dairy products. The big advertising campaign, started last week by the Kohinoor Chemical Company, on "Kohinoor Liquid Hair Beautifier", has attracted widespread attention. Already this product is even trugstore in the city and the demand beginning to reach considerable proportions throughout the country. Users report very satisfactory results, and especially commend it for the fact that it is greaseless, and does not soil, linen, hats, hats, band or coat collars. The Shields Company, heating engineers and specialists, are advertising this week big price reductions these weeks in working room. This firm is one of the largest and most reputable concerns in the city doing this class of work, and a perusal of their "ad" will disclose remarkable savings of from ten to twenty percent reductions in prices in the kitchen and proportionate cuts on steam, hot water and hot air heating plants. Reisinger and Schlenker have a beautiful breakfast room suite advertised this week, for less than thirty dollars. It can be had in a dozen colors and they say on the most attractive terms imaginable. The set includes a drop hear table and four chairs. We note, with a great degree of pride and satisfaction, the wonderful insurance Company, which is a factory insurance company, which publishes where. This company, which is rapidly forging to the front as one of the race's biggest companies, tells us the truth. The worth of insurance was writ n last year and that in December, alone, $4,000 was written, passing all previous marks. This is really a worthwhile credit to the state manager, Mr H. C. Brown, and his associate agents. GIVES BREAKFAST Mrs. Bethe Cornish entertained a number of friends at breakfast, Saturday morning.

Page Sixteen Passion A Serial by LO Dick Lee. Baltimore youth receives a letter notifying him that he has a half-sister, who has been orphaned in Chicago by the death of her father, Jim Scala. Scala was shot to death by a dying man who bore him an old grudge. Dick, finally convinced that the girl is an illegitimate child of his mother's, sends for her to make her home with him. He finds that she is extraordinarily beautiful, slangy, a habitue of Chicago's dance halls, cabarets, and gambling dens. Dick further finds that Luana has been able to life a passion with Joe Liebertini, white, of Italian parentage. He determines to try to save Luana from such a life as she has started to live and break the affair with Liebertini. Dick's younger brother, Cutie Lee, introduces Luana to night life in Baltimore. They attend a party and Luana is brought home intoxicated. Frank Carson, a married man living in the same apartment house, seems very pleased to discover her weakness. Liebertini comes to Baltimore to see Luana, and they go to the home of a friend, Florine, on Pennsylvania avenue. CHAPTER VII At length, Luana decided to take Liebertin to Florine's room. Florine's room was a dingy cubebyhole at the end of a bare hall that ran over the top of a store on Pennsylvania. It was dank. It was cheerless. It was dirty—but it was private—very December. Happily dressed in that dark December afternoon were in direct contrast to its ugleness. The girl's face blossomed like a rose from under her brown fur toque. Her cheeks glowed from the nip of the winter wind, and from the kisses that her companion rained on at the theyeight half staggering and laughing down the hall. Liebertin was young and handsome; as well, as handsome as only an Italian youth can be. His black eyes were as dewy as a girl's, and his face as comely, but further than that there was nothing effeminate about Joe Liebertin. The grip he had upon Luana was so tight that he laughed happily. He was in pursuit of pleasure—his favorite pastime. "You're a nuisance. Lieb," she told him, "Coming down here like this." "Why?" demanded Liebertin. "It's been nine long months since I've seen you." He held her up to him. Hard. He would never let her go. "Yes," murmured Luana. "But you mustn't." Joe Liebertin laughed and when he laughed his black eyes sparkled and his teeth shown, and one felt like laughing with him. "You'll ru me. I have something to live up to now, you know. Social position, you know." Liebertini smiled indulgently. "T'll promise to stay in the background," he smiled. Florine's room boasted no chairs, so the two stairs in the room had no Luana reared it somewhat skentically since she was well acquainted with Florine's deficiencies as a housekeeper. However, there being no other choice, she sat down on the side of it and Lieb sat beside her. She drew off his kid gloves and slipped them in the pocket of his overcoat. He rubbed her hands with his warm palms. He slipped off her toque and fluffed her hair around her ears as he liked it. His fingers were gentle and soothing, and tingly. Luana smiled at his affectionate caresses, but a worthed frown puckered her forehead. "It's my brother. He thinks it's wrong, Lieb." she told him. "What's wrong?" "About us." explained Luana. "Honest, Leib, you'd think I committed murder—the way he bawled me out." "Come back with me to Chicago." pleaded Liebertini. She shoved you not to leave. He shoved you not to leave. He shoved the place since Daddy's gone. I couldn't bear it." This was true. All the cabarets of Chicago, all its sophisticated pleasures, all Lieb's money and devotion could not take Luana back there with Scala dead. Nor was that that. In Chicago she was a child. She was that. It they called her Lieb's child. In Baltimore she was herself, Luana Lee, the Lee boys' sister. There was a difference. She didn't tell Lieb about that. "Then you don't want to see me any more. Is that it? " asked Lieb. A break was in his soft voice, and the laughter faded out of his eyes. "Now, Lieb don't get slushy," warned Luana. "Slushy!" the slang word restored Liebertini's morale. He burst into a laugh that was high and tanalingize. "O, you women," he jerred. "Here you come down here to this dead town, and your brother pumps you full of talk and right away you go off on a moral spree. And you forget things, he grasped Luana by her shoulders and swung her around to face him. "What was wrong about it?" he demanded. "Was it wrong that we grew together, played together, loved together? Go ask your brother that. --- n's Price OUISE CAMPER Ask him who looked out for you before you knew he was living? Brother, bah! Where was brother when you were flipping yourself up and down State street, getting yourself into all sorts of trouble? Where was he when I got this? And these?" he pointed to his shoulder and to a criss-cross of welted seams across the backs of his hands. "Lieb, don't." sighed Luana. So easy to become hysterical—Lieb was. She ran a conciliatory hand under his coat lapel, and patted his shoulders. She took his hands up and held them close to his chest. "I haven't forgotten. Lieb. Never could," she whispered. Memories flooded back upon her—the blustering pleasures of youth that she and Liebertini had enjoyed—ice skating in the moonlight, throbbing pulses as their hands met in the darkened theatre, stolen trips together. Liebertini had enjoyed Lieb's hands and remembered the night when those Indians from Arizona had drifted into Scala's den and had seen her, and had wanted her. After all, Lieb had protected her even though he had stamped her as his own. By his very patronage, he had fended off evils more horrible. Lieb had learned to play with Lieb's hands she did belong to him. Her head nestled in the hollow of his shoulder. Lieb—dear old Lieb! She smiled and stirred under his kisses. Her soft lips answered his eager call. The old, familiar thrill stirred them both. Under its spell, they sat as deaf to the racket of the avenue as satirically to the dullness of Dusk had settled upon the bare room when Liebertini looked about to mutter. "What a hole! Somebody lives here, right enough? A girl, too?" It is pretty terrible," said Luana. "This just about answers as a dressing room for Florine, though." "Don't blame her for keeping away from this cell," said Lieb. "We'll get another place." "Where?" asked Luana. "I tell you things are different here." "Leave it to me," said Lieb". I'll find some place... All right?" Luana nodded. What else could she do? And so they parted. When she reached her apartment Florine was there waiting for her. "Hi, there, kid," she greeted Luana. "Didn't want to bump you so I thought I'd stay here." "That wouldn't have mattered. Lieb likes girls, especially jolly ones," answered Luana. "Say, jump in here and help me get Dick's dinner, will you?" The two of them rushed about madly in order to have everything right on Dick's return. for Luana was conscientious in discharge of her household duties. "Listen, Luana," said Florine, "I met Frank Carson on the stairs today. Said he lives upstairs now." Luna salted and peppered a chop viciously. "That viper!" she grumbled, "Do you know him?" Yes, Florins told her. "We used to work together at the Phoenix Club. He says he was a good job now. By the way, he asked me to try to work up some interest in his favor with you." "Impossible," declared Luana. "I can't use him. Him or his gifts either!" "What gifts?" asked Florine, with interest. "Can't keep hints that he has some marvelous something to find out me. I haven't even bothered to find what it is." "But I'm going to," announced Florine. "Maybe I can use it myself!" The next days were filled with snatched moments with Lebertini, who was delightedly beautifying the 'place' he had found. When he finished, it was a nest of silk and pillows, a lazy haven to dream away the hours of love, and a place to come to. She smoked the slender cigarettes that Lebertini selected for her, and slipped his languorous wines. But her smiles covered an uselessness that crept upon her and she laughed to drown out a small voice that nagged at her. It was an irritating feeling, this conviction that made them so somewhere, to something Dick with the crowd, she would feel better; more like she felt in Chicago. But this slinking away in private gave her a shamed depression. Then, too, there was the ordeal of meeting Dick's clear eyes afterward. So she was glad when Lebertini left. She was glad in spite of the sadness of his almost agonized face. She promised everything he asked. Yes, she'd write to him. Yes, she'd always meet him when he called up from Chicago. Anything, anything, to keep him away from McCullow street! Anything to keep him a secret from Georgine and the set! Anything to keep visits secret from Dick! Day after later brought Florine in bursting with news "Say, guess what—just guess what!" she sputtered. "It's a coat, a fur coat. My glory, it's mink," spouted Florine. "That's what Carson had for you. A mink coat. What do you know about that?" "Liana soreamed with derisive laughter: "Mink! Cat-mink! Where's he going to get a mink coat, please tell me?" "He's working for a furrier. He's letting him have it at wholesale price, and Carson's paying for it out of his wages—dollar till he dies, you know." explained Florine. "Why doesn't he give it to old Pathe News, then?" "To who?" demanded Florine. "To Tyola. She's Pathe News—see's all, knows all." "My stars," groaned Florine. "You surely would not pass up a mink wrap? Why, only millionaires have them." "I'll never have one if I have to love Frank Carson to get it." said Luana flatly. "Why, if he had a six carat diamond set in every pore in his body, I wouldn't even touch him to pick one out." "Whew!" gasped Florine, as she whizzed away. "Why don't he smile at me?" A mink wrap, a mink wrap. It tantalized Luana Lee, who loved luxury. It dangled before her mind's eye. Wouldn't it dazzle Georgine and her crowd? And that bunch in Harlem? Wouldn't they sit up and take notice? She wondered if, by any chance, Carson had really gotten a real mink fur. If she only had it and the height of the social calendar and the frat dances just about to be held in Washington! Luana Lee timed herself to accidentally meet Frank Carson as he came from his work. She had been deliberately avoiding him and the sight of enough to be seen on time. He dared to accept her, even though he had no doubt that Tyola was hanging over the balustrade, listening. "Hello there," he whispered. "I've been trying to see you for the longest time." Luana gave him a title node and made as though he was a Carson grasped her arm. "Tell me," he pleaded, "may I talk with you—just a little while." "Well, if you must," said Luana grudgingly. Carson's heart sang. "When?" Luana gave him an impish grin. "Right now," she replied. Carson shuddered and glanced upward with a frown. "If I can give her the slip, may I come in tonight?" Luana laughed, a tantalizing sound, which meant neither refusal nor assent. Carson and his wife leave their apartment. An hour later Carson came plunging up the stairs on flying feet. Luana admitted him, and her eyes lighted as they rested on the flat box under his arm. They were in shock. "Is that the long threatened present, Santa Claus?" asked Luana. "For the most beautiful girl in the world," breathed Carson. "Let's have a look at it," said Luana briskly. She was all for retelling the business over with as quickly as possible. Carson broke the cords that tied the box. Luana gasped when she saw the loviness within. Under the light from the gas dome, the wrap she had on her arm seemed as though it out, carefully as though it was a sacred thing. She stroked the pelt with her fingers—it was deep, luxurious fur. She held it up to the light. It was rich, bloomy black, undyed. She weighed it. Light as dawn. She separated the fur and peered at the roots of the fur. O. it is mink, all right. The black dawn down to a yellow. Had it been black to the roots of Europe's richest queen would have owned it. She turned to Carson. "It's gorgeous," she said. "So you are," whispered Carson. He opened the wrap and folded it around her slender form. Instantly her face assumed a flower—like beauty above it. She preened herself like a vain bird. She ran her hands over her sleek hips. "I'm crazy over it. Thanks." At her acceptance, Carson caught her in his arms and grazed and looked calmly into his surprised countenance. "Not that," she informed him. Amazement gave way to anger and Frank Carson gripped her arms until her bones ached. What he said to her he asked. "I said, 'Thank you,' and that's all you get, tool!" said Luana. A red spasm crossed Carson's face. "You'll have to, though," said Luana sweetly, "or I'll take Tyla all the nice notes you've written." Carson let out a yell and lunged towards her, his hands tearing at the coat; but Luana wrapped herself more smugly in its folds. "Don't get rough," she advised him. "My brother's right out in the kitchen, and he's lots larger than you are." Defeated Carson went away, and Luana ran laughed to her breast, and smoothed it. So, she tells, a man fondled a snake which later strangled him in its folds. The Household Scrapbook Boil the eggs hard. Then melt a little carpenter's glue in with the dye.

One by one he had ruthlessly knocked down the props from the House-of-Life-As-It-Supposed-To-Be. Just listen, as they fall with slackening thud. Love went first. It always does. And my but he did wax eloquent. In fact, he almost violently repudiated the idea. There simply isn't any such thing as true love, he declared. Not in all this whole round world. Indeed, he doubted whether there ever had been, but most certainly, surely, undoubtedly, and undeniably there isn't any now. Just Sex Attraction I looked in the room, staring. Oh, sex attraction, pure and simple. That was the answer. Nature's time-honored method of lugging folks, will-nilly, into a very drab and disappointing existence. All the stuff about devotion and loyalty, self-sacrifice and service, was bunk, the bunkiest bunk. One mated, just like the animals, that's all. Perfectly natural, too, for what was man but an animal, a higher form of animal, and often not very much higher. As for marriage, just one of society's "big stick" methods. Necessary, perhaps, (a very doubtful perhaps) but nothing romantic. Oh, no! A mere matter of expediency. And the give-and-take part was a joke. It was. You give and take, and the combination of the taking. Strange, how possessing deeply foolish folks were, getting married and expecting this and expecting that when the only thing to expect was a raw deal. He'd wager no designing female would ever put anything over you on your life. He'd himself to marry, it would be with his eyes wide open. ```markdown ``` There was another thing that "got his goat": All this "apple-sauce" about women being so much different and better than men. All this poetic slush and sentimental mush. Women were not only a bit better than men, but they were also more dangerous, for they pulled on most of their devilment under the cloak of their own power. And they have to admit about his sex, most of them were soft in the head when it came to the question of the female of the species. Enticing Women Women were simply diabolically clever—yes, that was it. They use their sex as a net, and entangle man to his undoing. They use it as a lure, and entice him to his ruin. They fill the churches and pretend to be religious, and they are not. The man out for all they could get out of everything and everybody, just like all the rest of mankind. (The dear young man was evidently oblivious to the fact that his auditor was a woman. Lost in his pessimistic rhetoric, he even ignored the conventional gesture which would have made of him an opponent to rule. He fact cannot believe I existed for him as a conscious entity, at all.) --- Woman, having been tumbled ignominiously off her pedestal, this enterprising and omniscient male proceeded to pass on a little information about the home and parents. Home was just four walls—nothing more—a place to eat and sleep when no better place turns up. Parents were selish tyrants who acted as the guardian of their own benefit and pleasure. And all this tales about the joys and blessedness of family life were bologna. Patriotism—Bosh Patriotism is bish and tosh—the shrewd means governments use to get the unintelligent to go to war to grab something from some weaker government. Democracy is a myth, and the moneyed interests rule the country absolutely. . . . Education is but a conspiracy on the part of the older folk to bring up the younger generation according to a lot of worn-out and old-fashion ideals and customs which will enable the adults to keep the grip upon the reins of power. Morality and conventions were simply terms which meant nothing really, simply a matter of geography. Anything can be right or wrong... all according to where one lives, and how one happens to feel about the matter. In fact, any... "There is nothing better than salt and warm wate gargle.

The elaborate system of penal justice of which society boasts is no more than the same vindictive impulse which causes a man to strike out at his child in instinctive anger. All talk about "moral indignation," "preventive measures," and the "protection of society" is rot, the equality of the strong, the ruthlessness of power. Relirion—Bosb? When it came to religion, he fairly shuttered. It was to him more inflammatory than the proverbal red rag is to a bull. He glared at me and told me in loud, defiant tones that the only world he knew anything about was this world, that this world was composed of hard and ancient scientist code (tell your mind) and any rosy-colored suppositions about another existence. --- No preachers' "hokum" for him, he sneered, smooth, oily, money-grabbing hypocrites that they were. No really intelligent person believed that stuff nowadays, anyway. His religion was to be out for them, and he was to be, either. He only had one life to live that he knew anything about, and he was going to get the very most out of it that he possibly could. So there! To sum up all I heard up in "high-brow" language: "man is an incorrigible hypocrite civilization" positioned on a lie, and the whole fabric of humanity was woven into it but an elaborately woven veil of illusion by means of which men conceal from themselves Week's Recipes Lemon Crumb Pudding 2 cups milk 2 cups bread crumbs 1/4 cup sugar 1 egg Grated rind 1 lemon 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon melted butter Pour the milk over fine bread crumbs; add salt and sugar, whisk them egg, grated lemon rind, lemon juice and melted butter.

When the gentleman ran down, I politely bowed him out. Then I sat, both I washed my teeth, put on clean clothes from the inside out, got my hat and coat, and went out in the fresh air and bright sunshine. . . . I looked up into the blue, blue sky with its suggestion of limitless space, unfathomable mystery, and infinite possibilities, and said softly, "Deal with you, you manage to put up with all of us miserable inhabitants insignificant one of your countless worlds, so give one patience to stand one of them—even such a one."

PACE The greatest drawback to the purchase of stock in Negro corporations has been the inconvenience of the stock into cash. Many people who have surplus or idle funds, who do not doubt the wisdom of its management, or the possibility of large profits, would invest in the early stages of an enterprise if it was at all sure that the stock could be realised without unreasonable delay. The absence of any central market place is a great hindrance to this kind of business. The same kind would-be buyers is another and most important deterrent. Yet both of these things can be overcome by business enterprises are to be built up on a satisfactory basis. We cannot except people, we cannot overcome business. Those of us who are engaged in the great task of developing a financial side to the progress of the economy must work together that this condition be overcome. It must become apparent to all that values in stock do not happen; values are The white financier creates values for his output of stock just as the realer does for his vacant lots that become a beautiful suburb. The realtor buys by the acre, lays out his lots with streets and driveways, and sells to an original purchaser at a landowner. The realtor builds the confidence which the scheme and the management has brought him sells to another, and the chances are that entire property will be placed before the ultimate purchaser, the home builder, who is the real investor, comes in. Meanwhile the realtor has gone ahead developing the property. The realtor shrimpberry, etc., until the whole thing becomes something of definite and permanent value. With complete development comes access to the business into cash, or a ready acceptance as collateral. The managers and organizers of Negro commercial enterprises owe back the access into cash of the stocks of the various race enterprises. And this can be done with profit and safety to three classes: the investing public, the banking institutions of the race. As a matter of fact the banks can to their own advantage, create new stocks and bonds that will rebound to their safety in making loans, on approved collateral, rather than on the risk that is too often, not good in a pinch. The National Negro Bankers' Association could for instance, have a commission to be given to have the sworn statements and auditors reports of every Negro corporation seeking financial recognition filed with it, at least twice a year. These reports could be reported on its officers, on its reputation in the community, on the service it was rendering the public, and its general prospects. The community could then accurately determine the underlying value of the stock in each company and arrive at a conclusion of what it is worth from the standpoint of the company would then be notified, and an investor who owned the stock could readily assertin how much he could get on his holdings. The knowledge that he could borrow money, certainly rid him of any desire to sell. The banks themselves would be better off because they have a security for that a loan instead of some prominent citizen's names on note which they could not afford to process. The corporations themselves ought to support such a move by actually finding a market for every share of their stock that might be offered for a thing is offites the greatest amount had to absorb it temporarily before resale. The fact that a market exist for a thing is offites the greatest amount then be a double demand, that of the investor who held the stock and of the outsider who was interested in it. Convertibility into cash when needed would stimulate and a keep alive the purchase of Negro stock and make possible the development of a business by every reason ought to be begun. 25c 25c & M.

ULTIMATE OPEN IN RUSSIA Out Of Wedlock Legal Status As In Wedlock HOSE WORKING Proposal Sin- lor Disarmament THAS L. DABNEY AIRWAYS NO ILLEGITIMATE CITY IS SURVEYING CHILDREN IN RUSSIA UNEMPLOYMENT HERE PHILADELPHIA. — "Children born out of the wedlock receive the same legal status as those born illiterate in Russia as we know it in America," stated Miss Mary Winsor before the Sunday's Fête des Neiges Council of the American Negro Labor Congress here Sunday. While religious marriages are not forbidden, common law marriage is not. Children must be registered in court. Divorces are easy. The only social aspect of importance for the Russians is the need for the children, who in all cases must be taken care of by both parents. With no regard to women, marriage and children, Miss Winsor, who is a mother to the children, is convinced by saying that women are legally the equal of men, and socially they are achieving equality with men. Consider mothers as a girl, and consider women as a girl, the government, two months prior, and two months following child-birth they are granted leave from work with girls. They are required to food and medical care for themselves and child. This policy is followed because the Russians realize that who should care of their country rests children. In speaking of the general social life of the Russian people under Bolsheviks, the workers were furnished to workers at two-thirds of the regular price, while social insurance, education and other benefits were provided by the government and the trade unions, according to the speaker, the Russian peace proposal made at the Geneva conference was sincere. The people are strongly in favor of com-munities because they are fearful of attacks from the leading capitalist powers. National Benefit Ins. "Soopers" Meet WASHINGTON, D.

Many Seek Jobs At the headquarters of the Municipal Bureau of employment large crowds of men and women from 8:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon seeking employment. About 100 people were similar scenes were found at the Y. M. C. A. and other private employment agencies Thursday. Applying applications for jobs the actual employment is falling off, it was found. Placements Drop Mr. M. C. A. had made made following the Mayor's order during the United Railway carriage inquiry recently, a statistical chart of the number of placements made by the Municipal Bureau of employment the year of 1925. 1926 and 1927. These totals as follows. 1935. 10,813 number dropped to 8,252, and during just ended the number fell as low as 3,374 men and women. Of the placements in 1927, the larger proportion of director stated was of colored labor. Last year, he stated, there was proportionately a large demand for colored workers, which was first established in 1821. This increased demand for colored help included hotel, kitchen, domestic work, and construction. He could give no explanation for the growth of colored workers other than that they had been found to give endurance of improved efficiency in their work. Few Seek Charity One notable fact in connection with our bureau's clientele of men and women is that during recent business depressions there was but a negligible number of them to apply for charity. We seemed rather extraordinary to say that with thousands of colored workers at the present time, it was a rare occurrence for any of them to report to the bureau for work or charity.* employment insurance in Talent Management employment situation. Mr. McAllister expressed his strong faith that a very well-educated employee will be evil unemployment. If not a full-time for it in some cases, would be the un- employment insurance plan now in countries like the United States. This in term of business depression has been found to provide a much-needed rest to a few follars every week, and to help keep the wolf from the door. White Labor Must Recognize Negro White Labor Must Recognize Negro Statting that the white laborer must recognize the colored laborer or cut his own throat, the result of labor genetics, is a problem for colored laborer, was one of the principal issues brought out by William Foster, labor leader, who spoke before the gathering as the inter-racial Workers Hall Sunday Evening. In discussing his main topic which he called "decolonization in America", Mr. Foster added there was a need for industrial unions to replace trade unions in order to disruption.

Page Twenty HOOVER NOW LEADS IN STRAW BALLOT Lowden Is Second, Coolidge Is Third And Dawes Is Fourth NO RITCHIE VOTES Al Smith Has 29 To Reed's 6 By HENRY F. ARNOLD The third week of the AFRO straw vote campaign gives Secre- tary Hoover a lead over all his republican competitors and places Governor Al Smith in a class by himself on the democ- cratic side. Senator, Frank B. Willis, of the state of Ohio, received all of the votes that were cast by the Ohioans and a few scattered votes from Illinois and Indiana. Last week was the first appearance of the name of Senator Willis among the contestants and the vote given him shows that his Ohio constituents will cast their lot for him in the event that he is made his party's nominee. Smith backers come from every section of the country, a large number coming from the states of Virginia and Delaware. It is apparent that the Hoover organization is well oiled, as many votes have been cast for the secretary of commerce from the District of Columbia. The fact that Ex-Governor Lowen, of the state of Illinois, has made such a good showing casts out all doubt that Hoover is the choice of the colored voters of the country. Vice President Dawes has failed thus far to show his strength in the straw vote campaign, judging from the vote that is being received in the contest. The vote this week stands, Coolidge 33; Hoover 48; Lowen 36; Dawes 21; Willis 18; Senator Reed, of Missouri 6. The thing which is causing most concern among the republican bosses, at present is what has caused the unrest in the ranks of the colored republican brother in the middle West and East. It is an open secret which republican leaders are willing to conced that. If AL is made the nominee of the democratic party, the colored voter will be hard to line up for the G. O. P.

NATIONAL GUARDS NEARLY 46 YRS. OLD The First Separate Company, the only National Guard race troops south of the Mason-Dixon line with the exception of a company at Washington, will have its 46th birthday here. next month, having been a branch of the U. S. military since February 20, 1882. The company was organized on November 13, 1881, as the Monumental City Guards and was composed of waiters from the old Eutaw House, Barnum's Hotel and other hostelries. Lloyd Young was the first captain. The local young men with martial leanings in those days had to pay $33 for their uniforms. Colorful Uniforms The first uniform was somewhat similar to the dress of the Fifth Regiment. It consisted of a chaschause, and long blue overcoats low tail coat of blue with white facing, light blue trousers with white stripes, and white spats. Bearskin shakes were later substituted for the chasseuses, and long blue overcoats with white cross belts were added. Become Md. Militia Upon becoming a part of the Maryland militia the company retained its name of Monumental City Guards. No arms or uniforms were issued by the quartermaster's corps, and the men proceeded to purchase old muzzle loaders of the Civil War rifles, the state issued Springfield rifles, these were in time displaced by Krieg-organsons and still later with the seabirds now used. While under the command of Captain William R. Spencer, now retired, who was commissioned in June 20, 1883, the company drilled weekly at Moses Hall on Eutaw street. Captain Spencer, a stern old soldier, was known to keep up a discipline as rigid as that maintained in the regular army. Although his men kept their equipment at their homes, the blue overcoats issued years before were all accounted for when the company changed to the drab. Company inspection was held four or five times yearly. First In Spanish War The First Separate Volunteered along with the rest of the Maryland National Guard when the late President McKinley called for troops for the Spanish-American campaign. Assembling at its armory on April 31, 1898, in readiness for the call, the company on the trolley cars and on its way to carry five minutes after the command to men. They were in Camp Wilmer d'Similco a day before the other Maryland troops. Maryland has always been first in volunteers, old military men claim, and the First Separate was in the front ranks which entered the fray in Cuba. 80 Men In Ranks There are 80 men and three officers in the company now. They are headed by Capt. William Cregler. Thomas Chatmon is first lieutenant. and Henry E. Dorsey is second lieutenant. The men go to camp each summer for two weeks with the District of Columbia company. They were reviewed by the governor and his military staff. Drills are held at Richmond Armory. The old system of each man keeping his equipment is gone. All the needs of the company are supplied by the War Department and they have their locks* containing all the late equipment which is issued to the other National Guard units. **Army Uniforms** Now clad in the neat regular army uniforms with caps* instead of the hats which they formerly wore, the First Separate, Baltimore's own, faces its 46th birthday as a National Guard unit shorn of the color and romance of the '80s. First Separate is simply one of the Maryland companies with an efficient and modern touch, as the old soldiery expresses it.

Mistake In Name Leaves Man After spending 15 years in the Army and Navy and losing a leg during his service with the former in the Argonne, Isaac Walter Beatty, 45, a world war veteran, is destitute and left without a pension because a government clerk made a mistake in spelling his name years ago. According to the story told by Beaty when he appealed to the Walter Reed Post, local branch of the American Legion for aid. Saturday, he enlisted in the 369th Infantry in New York in 1916. In 1917 he was transferred from the National Guard to the regular army and sent abroad. It was during this transfer that his name was erroneously listed, which now keeps him from obtaining government aid. Lost Leg In War During the campaign in the Argonne forest, Beatty lost a leg, and remained in a base hospital until the end of the war. He was mustered out at the Walter Reed Hospital in office that time he was worked at the government works at Peer Point and was at o. time employed in the post office. Beatty declares that his disability makes it exceedingly difficult for him to obtain employment, and that the government makes no effort to aid injured veterans.
