Gifts Gets O. K. In Com- mittee HOUSE IS EXPECTED TO PASS MEASURE Of Order Against Annual Appropriations WASHINGTON, D. C. After a bitter wrangle, the House committee on education, of which Representative Daniel A. Reed, republican, of New York, is chairman, ordered a favorable report last Friday on the Reed bill which would authorize annual appropriations for Howard University. 48 years Congress has been appropriating money for the maintenance of Howard University, the first appropriation being the sum of $80000 in 1879. Since that time there have been numerous and important appropriations. The Government has also appropriated money for the erection of new buildings. There is no authority in law for these appropriations and the management of Howard University. Consequently it has frequently happened that appropriations proposed in a bill were stricter than the appropriations proposed by the Senate has invariably restored the appropriations. The conference committee has agreed to the restoration, and the House has accepted the concession. The Dead Points Of Order The Reed bill would amend the organic act incorporating Howard University so that points of order so be made against the appropriations. The Reed bill is identical with the Crampton bill introduced in the last session of Congress by Representative T. H. McCormick. It would authorize appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement, and maintenance of the university. The appropriations appropriations shall be used for religious instruction. An inspection of the university by the Bureau of Education would be made at the university. Annual Report The bill would also require an annual report making a full exhibit the affairs of the University. Congress each year in the report of the Bureau of Education. The committee on education has approved but permitted Representatives, 1925, M. C. Tarver, of Georgia, and B. G. Lowery, of Mississippi, democratic members of the committee, to insert the opposition to the proposed legislation. Reservoiry to the Front.

Intermixture of white, Indian and black skinned races, he says, in less than a century has developed a Negro than Caucasian. In such details as the color of the skin, the shape of the nose, the thickness of the lips and the size of the body, Negro than Caucasian, as such is distinct from his forebears. Prof. Herskovitz's deaths on this subject are contained in a book. "The American Negro. A Study In Racial Assessing the course of publication by Alfred York. The volume is expected to appear in February, the professor told the AFRO-AMERICAN. The ultimate color of the American Negro were discussed by him in a paper published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Science for October. New Physical Type The fact that the American Negro is evolving a new physical type was first suggested by Prof. Herskovitz, the department of Anthropology at Columbia University, and his conclusion was published in the Current History Magazine of September, 1926. The Negro physically averages about halfway between the African Negro and the white European. Width of Nose Taking width of nose, he found that the American whiters average 35.0; Africans 43.4; American Negroes' nosil width is about JAMAICA PRESS TWITS MARCUS GARVEY "Gleaner" Says He Is A Virtual Prisoner In British West Indies Second Paper Admits Garvey Has Power KINGSTON, Jamaica—Marcus Garvey's arrival here has caused much excitement that newspapers have begun to "twit" him. The "Gleaner" recalls that Marcus Garvey not having secured a proper divorce from his first wife, the publication further charges that Garvey is virtually a prisoner of the British government, having arrived in the West Indian, the "Gleaner" comments she should not pick to the ship to pick a second wife. Garvey, said to be furious, has threatened a suit of 100,000 pounds, "$500,000," unless this newspaper retracts. What Part Of Africa? A writer in the "Jamaica Times" asks Mr. Garvey to take part in which part of the 11,000,000 square miles of Africa he means to settle down. He has a large choice. It is true there might be more than 5,000 present occupants, but no doubt that little detail has been thought out satisfactorily. He would carry 5,000 passengers, which would mean 200 voyages if she were to do the work for Mr. Garvey. She could hardly keep up with her life, she would be 20 years getting the millions of Mr. Garvey's adherents back to their country of origin. What a honey. Another writer in the "Jamaica Times" says there might be some division of opinion as to whether the improvement Association, but there is no doubt about Marcus Garvey being a leader. It says he swains considerable inclination to a large section of this community. "Many of his followers are too thriftless; many still believe in the obaahman; many are still too fond of useless laws, and waste time and money in going to work. They should be settled at home. These are some of the failings of our people that want remedying, and Mr. Garyve can help." Comparisons in the Discussions Prof. Herskovitz found that the average colored American is 171.1 centimeters tall. White Americans are 174.3 centimeters tall and West Africans average 175.5 centimeters tall. He also found that the sitting height of the Africans is shorter than that of the European white man, which means that the legs of the Negro are longer. Measurement of Lips Measuring lip thickness, Prof. Herskovitz found that the thickness of the African lip is 23.9 millimeters of the African nose is 80.9 and the American Negro nose is 19.2 and 80. Per Cent of Mixed Blood Contradicting the census reports of 1920 which declared that 15 per cent of the Negro are white and that the rest are pure Negro. Prof. Herskovitz's figures show that only 20 per cent of the men from whom he had obtained information are without mixture and that older 80 per cent are of mixed blood. Howard University students, he found, were lighter than New York school children. According to Prof. Herskovitz, we should not think of the American Negro as an African type in which there has been mixed a small amount of black blood, but still continuing and that will continue long enough finally to achieve the absorption of the Negro into the white population. According to Prof. Herskovitz, we should not think of this New Negro as a stabilized type in between the African and white American who has solved the business of living in the United States and will as a full-fledged member of it.

Quarter Section Of Oklahoma Oil Field Worth Near $20,000,000 TOM JOHNSON PUTS ASIDE BUCKET, BRUSH Leaves For Oil Fields To Get First Sight Of His New Wealth MAYFIELD, KY.—For 20 years Tom Johnson, said to be half Indian and colored, has lived on a small farm in this county neither very poor nor very well off in the goods of this world. Today, when life's shadow is beginning to lengthen, he has learned that he is worth millions of dollars—somewhere between $10,000,000 and $20,000,000, the exact amount to be worked out later by lawyers and government income tax experts, no doubt. Tom is dazed—he is not overconfident but is dared to be the wealthiest race man in the world. Johnson received a telephone message from Ben C. Axtley, white, an attorney of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the other day telling him that he was a millionaire. Tom took that news quietly and waited for developments. Now Axley has arrived here and identified Johnson positively as owner of a quarter section of Oklahoma just wallowing in the best grade of oil. According to Attorney Axley, Johnson was born at Beeks, Okla. 45 years ago. He was an Indian man. He may have been colored. However, she may have been another Indian, though Tom passes as colored here. Johnson was allotted to the Creeks in what was then Indian territory. Johnson was given a quarter section. Rich In Oil The attorney's story goes on that now quarter section is being developed by several big corporations and is rich petroleum-producing land. Johnson came to this country about a score of years ago and established himself on a little farm near town. He worked at farming and was expert as a plasterer and was kindly busy. But he probably will put aside his bucket and brush now. As with what he saw, he has not seen the millions so far, but the story is accepted here as a fact, and even Tom is not phlegmatic about oil.

Dr. Scott say: "The increase in the salary scale of other Negro colleges threatens to draw off our most competent men, and we need to be ready pared to offer our professors more than they receive at Howard, while one college has threatened to break the backbone of our faculty by offering professors nearly twice the salary they receive."

SENATOR BRUCE SAYS ALABAMA IS KU KLUXED Race And Religious Questions Provoked Bitter Debate In Upper House WASHINGTON, D. C. — The bitterness of the Senate debate on race and religious issues last week has seldom been equalled in recent years. Senator Helfin, (Dem. Ala.), attacked the Catholic Church, Senator Swanson, (Dem. Va.), declared the South is not violating the Fourth Amendment, Senator Bluce, (Dem. Md.), defended the Catholic Church, and declared that the South is not violating the war amendment, but is nullifying them by legal ingestion. Senator Blease, (Dem. S. C.), taking the position that the war technically guilty of treason, denied that this was true. "South Carolina," he said, "had a right under its constitution to succeed the Union if the people desired it." For nearly two hours Blease defended the South, declaring that nine of the first fifteen presidents were from South Carolina and for 54 years judges of the Supreme Court were southerners. He quoted General Sherman reporting on his march through Georgia, saying that he "estimated the damage to the state at $100,000,000, $200,000,000 of which inured to our benefit and the remainder was simply wasteful." He scored Abraham Lincoln, who asked Grant to put his 22-year-old son just graduating from Harvard to Grant's military family instead of him in the ranks where danger was." What Colored Folk Want Discussing how colored people felt toward him in South Carolina, Blease said that when he was governor he and his chain gang 1,700 colored persons who didn't have any business there. The only mistake he made, he said was when he left office he failed to travel to the city to treat the people. Colored people in South Carolina he said, who desire equal rights and equal accommodations in traveling have no desire to hold office and have no desire to associate with white people. "They do not want social equality." Helfin Rants. In a speech equally as long as Senator Blease's, Senator Helfin attends a conference of the case of a Catholic priest, Father O'Connor, charged with performing an operation upon a woman destroying his own child in Montgomery. The priest, he said, fled to Canada, and the Catholic Church had opposed all efforts at extradition. Bruce Challenges Senator Bruce challenging this statement said that the Catholic father no longer is protect Father O'Connor if he ever gives "If the priest is guilty," said Senator Bruce. "he will not only be punished by municipal law, but he will be excommunicated by the church." Senator Bruce said, "is that it is innocent leaved that the priest is innocent and that he fled from the state of Alabama because, dominated as that the Klan influence, he does not believe that he could get a fair trial there." Backing up his charge that Alabama is Klan ridden, Senator Bruce declared that for the last three years, 700 lawless floggings in Alabama, and in some cases, old men, women and children. Recently, he said, one state's attorney under the influence of Klan hus withdrawn no less than 100 indictments against some 34 men. Newspaper men who reported Heflin's anti-Catholic speeches were called "lars," by Heflin, who attacked the Hearst newspapers especially and served notice on William Randolph Hearst, the publisher, that if these newspaper reports continued he would read some affidavits in the newspaper private life and committing him to murder these little hickory nut reporters in his employment out of the press gallery."

Unemployed Form Group At The Urban League NEW YORK CITY — "The We-Want-a-Job-air-Gant-Get-it" Group has been instituted by the Industrial Department of the University group meets each morning from eleven to twelve oclock in the Employment Waiting Room of the Urban League, 204 W. 18th Street. On last Thursday three men were able to find just the types of jobs they were seeking through the medium of the club. Even though he is able to help the other fellow. Persons also tell of their experiences in seeking employment during the morning and afternoon preceding the meeting. Ira De A. Reid, Industrial secretary of the Urban League said: "It is our hope that the memoirer will know how much eventually it will have no members." LITTLE CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT FIELD LITTLE CHANGE IN EMPLOYMENT FIELD JOBLESS IN CHICAGO Slight Improvement NEW YORK—"The day-to-day appeals for work during December resulted in scant relief and little or no promise of improvement thru the country," says Bulletin No. 20, issued by the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League from its headquarters at 17 Madison avenue, New York City. The Bulletin states further that reports from the League's advisors indicate considerable replacement of colored employees by white workers. In Boston a manager for a process organization became patrons of the store not of the Negro race objected to his serving in such a capacity. In Chicago Negro porters were discharged because the拣ing managers that employed them wanted to try an "experiment" with white labor in that capacity. In that city unemployment is said to be at its highest peak since 1921. "There is moreover," the Bulletin continues, "a large number of skilled and semi-skilled workers doing unskilled work, with the result that unskilled workers, customarily the most unprotected of all classes of industry, are forced to a larger degree than is usual." Because of the uncertainty of securing jobs there is an unusually heavy movement of people from place to place. Pittsburgh has experienced difficult problems because of this aspect of the situation due to the high cost of service regions in and around the city. The Bulletin states that here and there some little change for the better was noticed during December. In Cleveland the Urban League placed a new building in November, but 22 percent less than in December 1920. In Milwaukee, where a plant is employing 60 Negroes and another 50, these plants have resumed full operations, and in San Antonio "several hundred Negroes and crewes of colored waiters." In Jefferson City, Mo. Hotel Missouri has now all colored domestic help and many colored men are being used in Highway building.

NEW YORK CITY.—In his address delivered last week before the Methodist, Preachers' Meeting at the university, Jamesames, a senior executive secretary, the local Urban League, stated that the colored population of New York was 3 percent of the total population, roughly speaking, but that their percentage could be more or less pursued range from 8 to 20 per cent. This condition the speaker attributed to the fact that large numbers of the colored inhabitants here were not white and the South could not adjust themselves to the city life.

RS ESTA TATE TO CHOOSE EGRO Stick To Some Job Says Rutherford HOUSE MIGHT CHOOSE TO BAR A NEGRO Action Of Senate In Smith Case Is Menace To Minority Groups 1,500,000 PERSONS VOTED FOR SMITH Entire Dixie Delegation In Congress Polled Far Fewer Votes By WILLIAM PICKENS NEW YORK, (ANP.)—Frank L. Smith, regularly elected senator from Illinois, was barred from his seat in Congress by a vote which was dominated by "gentlemen from the South." It's a grim joke for the southern senators to be voting against any other senator on account of "corruption", when nearly every senator from the South is elected by means of the most immoral disfranchisement of both white and black citizens. A senator from a southern senator was elected by a senator enroll nearly one million voters, gets himself elected to Congress by a little rotten-borough vote of less than one percent, and a bar a man who was sent by an Illinois vote of 800,000, in an election that poured 1,500,000 votes—or thirty times as many votes as were pouled for both the southern senators and the governor. Nearly as many free and untramplured votes were cast in the Illinois election as were cast to elect the centrally delegated senator in Congress. But, waving aside the question of morals, let us take up the question of policy and politics. Frank L. Smith was elected by the people of Illinois about his campaign expenses: they knew how much money had been spent on his campaign and where the money came from. Still they preferred Smith to his democratic opponent, and they spent all the money: he could get on his campaign—and had gotten all the money that anybody was willing to give him. This fact makes the question of the right of the people of Illinois to choose their representatives the primary question. If Smith had joined the people of Illinois, then the rest of the United States Senate might stand against him in defense of the people of Illinois, but the people chose for themselves, and regardless of whether their choice was good or bad, they are not self-governing if their choice cannot be made. People who dissimil do not deserve to appoint themselves as guardians for the people of Illinois. Any state that is ignorant enough to elect a Biblio for governor, cannot set itself up as a guardian for the people of Alabama making any suggestions to Illinois after Alabama sent Hefflin to Congress! If You Are SK Just Ask You For 15 years Terpinolin suffering from Chest Col health and strength.

C. “‘Get a job that leads somewhere, then stick and win.’” was the advice of S. W. Rutherford, secretary-general manager of the National Benefit Life Insurance Co. before the students of Howard University, Monday of last week. “Too many men and women have a divided mind.” he said. “They want to achieve in many directions. As a result, they are sowing the seed of discontent, worry, disappointment and final failure. Many waste precious time and even years, trying this, but not succeeding. A short road to success or fame: looking for an easy method or way of obtaining a livelihood. Just remember that there is heavy competition for easy jobs, so you get them, that do not last.” The student working his way thru college, if he has the right attitude, will regard his work as waiter, janitor, caretaker or wood cutter as of importance, and education as the class room lecture.

I think the development of strong building and our associations would relieve the bank.

When the little system is sick, a mache-ach, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic–remember, a good "inside cleansing" should always be, the first thing.

The annual meeting of the Executive Committee of the Federal Council met here last week, and among the several reports of the various Commissions was that of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations.

The committee also recommended the recent national Exhibit of Fine Arts by Negro artists in New York held in cooperation with the Harmon Foundation. The proposal that such an exhibit of fine arts by Negroes be fostered annually. Amendments The question drawing the keenest attention was a recommendation on the Constitution, to the Constitution, involving the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth. This recommendation was presented by George E. Haynes, secretary of the Constitution, expressed by some of the delegates that such a resolution would partake too much of politics and thus involve issues in partisan political controversy. Bishop George C. Glement, chairman of the Commission, defended the resolution on the ground that it was not a moral question, especially the enforcement of the Constitution which is the bulwark of liberties. Bishop George Clement, a member of the Church, a member of the Commission, said, "We must face these questions; I am inclined to believe that our not being willing to face the Constitution on the part of the white people and hypocrisy on the part of us coloro people." The "resolution adopted was as follows: "The question of enforcing the 18th Amendment has become an outstanding moral issue today and has raised questions of obedience law and law of our land. Including all amendments to the Constitution. We therefore go on to consider the question of the Constitution including all the amendments, and we ask the cooperation of all the communions of the Federal Council of the States." No Jim Crow The committee also passed without debate the following resolutions: decide the following resolutions: in selecting their places of meeting to insist that provision be made for delegates of other than the white race and that every precaution be taken to protect such delegates from any form of social discrimination.

GRAHAM SPEAKS Methodists In Africa Behind Other Denominations Struggle for supremacy between trustees and pastors in many M.E. churches has been going on for more a century. Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr., rector of St. James P. E. Church, told the A.M.E. Ministers' Meeting at Bachel A.M. E. Church, Monday morning. Quoting excerpts from Bishop Daniel A. Payne's history, Dr. Bragg recalled early outbreaks in Bethel Church, early control of Bethel Church, of Philadelphia, which is led by the courts declaring these churches not independent and under control of trustees, but a part of the control and under the direction of a bishop. These law suits in the early church cost the Philadelphia Methodists $7,000 and the Methodists $1,000. Five hundred members out of Bethel, Philadelphia, and 45 out of Bethel, Baltimore. Dr. Bragg established that the principle was established that the denomination has become Methodist in character and not Congregational. Pastors At Fault The Rev. J. E. Lee commenting upon that in the denominational trouble in Maryland for the past 15 years, the pastor has usually been at fault. The Rev. W. H. Coston declared that the Episcopal Church also not without faith in assigning ministers and pastors to churches. In rebuttal Dr. Bragg declared that the need of the church is for Christian pastors. Few should seek to become a bishop. The church, he declared, should Christian teachers in its colleges, Christian administrators and Christian financiers to handle church problems. He set up two tests for the ministry, education and gentlemanly instincts. D. A. Graham Speaks D. A. Graham, president of Monrovia College, Liberia, West Africa, in an address declared that both Bishop and Mrs. Brooks, still on the job, are in poor health because of the disease and will probably return the latter part of March or the first of April. After other determinations are ahead of the A. M. E. Church he said, in mission work in West Africa. Native Teachers These denominations are sending highly trained pastors and teachers into the jungles. He told how Methodists are relying on native teachers to lead the work of the West Africa $25 to $100 a year, some of whom are over a year in arrears in their salaries. The only creditable work being done by the Missionary College, Dr. Graham said, was at Mt. St. Joseph College, which was supported almost entirely by the financial campaigns by Bishop Brooks. Funds from the Missionary Department went to pay for two native missionaries only, he said. The Missionary Department sent Bishop Brooks $9,000 last year. Five thousand of this was capped when the Missionary College was cracked by a tropical storm and $4,000 from the bishop was used for back pay by some of the college teachers. SWEDPSBORO. N.

The regular meeting held at headquarters. 428 Herkimer street, Wednesday evening, a committee was appointed to confer with leaders from other counties in the city. Charles W. Eckman, a prominent Ek, was named chairman, to be assisted by Frank Brawer and Stephen Mayo. Members of the organization went on a tour of the town determined to see what they called the voteless minions of the District of Columbia, Federal Office holders, and Republican bosses from Tixie, who can only represent the Republican conventions but have no power to regulate the votes at the poll that sends candidates into office. The state fire state to men who can and do vote and control many others. Speakers mentioned the names of some slated to come to New York on Monday. Miss Nannie M. Burroughs, Washington, D.

It seems to be based on a working agreement, however, that if Mr. Coolidge is drafted, Mr. Hoover will catch the Empire state delegations' Morton For Smith But before I leave this subject, you ought to know that despite Republican leaders who have called City for "self-determination" in running campaigns, it must be remarked that no countenance of hue other than white, darkened the Up-State "Pow-er" of the big bows that has just mapped out what it is all real- to be about.

A few years ago, a newspaper reporter interviewed him at the Brown and Stevens Bank Building, Broadway in New York. Brown showed the reporter a letter, which showed he had just received $1,300,000 for the Payton appointment in New York. His auditor had called attention to the fact that the Payton apartments constituted the third largest apartments in New York, and the Mr. Brown was the largest colored taxayer in the city.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER December 23, 1909. I am in total accord with the views of Booker T. Washington, precepts of Tuskegee, on the history of the University of Tuskegee. He wrote me yesterday that he had just read in the AFRO the "very generous editorial bearing upon my new book, The Story of the Negro." If the spirit moves you at the Story, I wish you might say a word in your paper concerning the importance of putting the African American in the only race on earth that does not study the history of our own people. "I suspect that if you should go into the Negro public you would know that you would children with copies of books in their hands concerning the history of white Americans, the English, the Germans, and the French, but not a book you will find there concerning an own race. This weakness should be corrected." J. N. Murray Going Ahead Considerable publicity attended the failure of a bank in Memphis, Tennessee, recently that carried along with it two smaller financial institutions. Figures for bank failures thruout the country in the past 10 years are now available and they are enlightening. | Year | No Failed | Liabilities | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1918 | 20 | $ 1,151,000 | | 1919 | 54 | 11,520,850 | | 1920 | 129 | 54,058,850 | | 1921 | 451 | 201,500,000 | | 1922 | 312 | 94,188,000 | | 1923 | 655 | 94,977,000 | | 1924 | 734 | 272,582,000 | | 1925 | 464 | 164,697,000 | | 1926 | 772 | 266,000,000 | | 1927 | 488 | 195,000,000 | | 10 Yr. Total | 4079 | $1,504,983,850 These figures say that in 10 years 4079 banks failed with liabilities of a billion and a half dollars. Yet we go right along building banks bigger and stronger. Fifteen million Americans have funds in savings banks alone. In 9502 state and national banks depositors have today 29 billion dollars. That's the answer to pessimists. Republicans Punch Out The South built the nation. It is not violating the 14th and 15th amendments. It has a right to circumvent these amendments by property and education tests, poll taxes etc which disfranchise whites as well as blacks. All this and more come from the Senate. On the Republican side there was silence, except for Senator Borah, Idaho republican, who termed himself "an onlooker in Venice," and yet bolstered the arguments of the nullifiers. Up to the bat stepped Senator Bruce, Maryland democrat, who said that while the South may never violate the letter of the Declaration, it does nullify the amendments "everywhere" thru dishonest and crooked administration of election laws. Senator Bruce pointed to the universal franchise in Maryland. He said the south could be more liberal. It ought to have two parties. Senator Swanson, (Va. dem.) was peeved because Mr. Bruce interrupted. Flery Sen Glass (Va. dem.) a victim of emotional insanity referred to a member of Congress as regretting "the unjust Negro." On the republican side there was still silence. The G. O. P. had punched out. Senator Jones (rep. Washington) moved to proceed to executive business. Mayor Broening Baltimore's mayor has made rapid progress in correcting the mistakes of a previous administration. He has placed Mr. Howard Young on the jail board. Mr. Wallace Lansey on the City Charity board and has had two names certified as eligibles for appointment as assistant city solicitor. The mayor has picked able men who are willing to devote their time to the city's business and he has best some satisfaction to his constituents have long felt that taxation with representation is tyranny. New appointments are yet to be made to the school board, the most important of all the city boards and the one on which representation has been most consistently urged. has been most successful. The mayor might place the fitting capstone upon his administration by making this appointment. Hampton-Tuskegee Mrs. Anna M. Harkness, widow of one of the founders of the Standard Oil Company, left an estate of over $100,000,000, the largest ever to be recorded in New York state. Among the bequests was $750,000 to Hampton Institute and $500,000 to Tuskegee Institute. There is very little difference between the agricultural, industrial, teachers' training, college work done at the two schools, Hampton is older, and, therefore, it has a slightly larger endowment, but in the recent campaign for endowment funds, the two institutions went in together and shared alike with the $5,000,000 raised. Just a month ago, Miss Olivia Eggleton-Stokes, philanthropist, died in New York leaving $125,000 to Hampton and $100,000 to Tus The question is, why the generous friends of the North make any distinction in their pity to these people? Because the Tuskegee administration is white and the Tuskegee administration colored? Poem This Week THEN LAUGH BY BERTHA ADAMS BACKUS Build for yourself a strong box. Flashback with cars; What is strong as your hand can make it. Pit, hit your troubles there; Tell no one else its contents, Need no secret share care; When you've dropped your care and worry, Hide them forever there; Hide them from sight so completely That the world will never dream half; Pass them on; Then set on the lid and hatch. Call VE. non 6016 DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES Prosperity The Test Of Character The recent failure of the Solvent and Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company and the death of the E. C. Brown, the Philadelphia banker, brings vividly to the surface that old, old fact, that prosperity, and not hardship and poverty, is human character's greatest asset. Fifteen years ago Alfred Ward, the guiding genius of the Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company, was a careful young banker living in an unpretentious but comfortable home in Memphis. His conservative policy of both living and investments, made him a banker of service and business. The trouble in both men's lives came when he commenced to dream of colossal prosperity and its tempting awards. He dreamed of prosperity but the trouble comes when that dreaming sets up mirages which make some men lose their balance and sense of safety. Star gazing in finance is perilous, and as a result of the loss of precious sea the earnings and savings of others. Young business men should learn from these failures that "safety first" is the fundamental asset; banking is not while they are struggling up, that the failure is likely to come; but when they have reached a conscious prosperity, the wealth of the company can be strained from the compass long enough to see the tempting selves of high life; the visualization of themselves in marble halls and moving with the wealth of the company can be reached by his birellings, spent $200,000 wrongly in the last few years and are now in jail, not because of poverty and lack of opportunity; but because of prosperity. Brown, a greater financial genius than Ward, is dead at age $3, not because he failed to conquer handicaps, race prejudice, or other obstacles, because he failed to conquer PEROSITY. The Harmon Award In Religion Every church organization in this country, from the stately edifice of the big cities to the little building down on the courthouse floor, is a member of the Harvard Award for Religion to the Rev. William N. DeBerry, minister of the St. John Congregational church of Springfield, Mass. The congregation is being most formidably assailed by modern progress is the Christian church, and any distinctive leadership effecting this great institution is of vital concern. It is there about the church work being conducted by the Rev. Mr. DeBerry, that made it outstanding in 19277. The St. John Congregational church, organized by the historical background of having once been the worshiping place of John Brown, "The Hero of Harper's Ferry," but has had remarkable success in adapting its work to the needs of the community. Besides its church building and community center its properties include a St. John boys club building, a parish house, a church building, a department and housing properties from which it derives income. Seven departments of institutional work are included in its program and it has an annual budget of $100,000. But it is not its physical worth which turned attention of Harmon Award judges to Dr. DeBerry's work in Springfield, Illinois, which can boast of being many times this value. IT WAS THE FACT THAT HERE IS A CHURCH ORGANIZATION ON THE ISLE OF EVERYMAN, MARKED BY THE EVERYDAY PROBLEMS OF THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY. Here is a church which thinks it worth while to employ eleven paid workers to go out into the highways and byways and produce a Sunday meeting where threadbare dogma is dislaced in sermons modulated to the conventional twang, and which looks at religion in its practical relation to faith, but there is a lot wrong with its application and practice and the awarding of this medal should turn every church man's attention to what can be done in their own communities to set the Christian example he did not pick out the seats of the mighty. He went to Blind Bartimeus, to the woman at the well of Samaria; to the diseased in the alleys of Jerusalem, and down by the sea of Gal- In all Baltimore there is but one institutional church movement and the same is true of most cities. For most week days to the wayfaring soul they are but empty sepulchres. Their directive heads are doing sorts of things during the week in direct politics in crooked cities, to shaving real notes and serving hot dogs in restaurants. Some religious organization would greatly promote the cause of religion in America if it would print complete program of the St. Thomas Church and send it to every passer in the land. Senate On Likker Won't Talk Votes BY WILLIAM PICKENS Let no American be fooled by that little life someone has in the past. American voters and prohibition. Neither Swanson and Glass, of Virginia; nor Bruce, of Maryland; nor Borah, of Idaho, had any interest in defending the right of American cowed people of the United States to drink whiskey, and Senator Bruce, who wants his drinks, dragged in the Negro question for spite. Borah is sincerely against liquor, but by feeling it eternally necessary to drink, he finds himself continually trying to uphold one part of the Constitution, the 18th Amendment, while encouraging the violation and evasion of other parts, the laws that in order to stand with the South (or keep them standing with him) on the liquor question, he must stand with them on the Negro question; for the southern people, he must hold that in order to stand subject of Paradise if he disagreed with them on the subject of the Negro. Therefore, Borah, in many other ways a strong and admirable man, finds himself playing on the Negro question the same problem as Daniel Webster played on the question of fictive slave laws. Borah is wrong on the rights of colored citizens, and promises to stay wrong; he sees, or pretends to see, no violation of the Constitution colored citizens as voters. His technical argument is this: That the state LAWS of the South do not direct the officers to refuse Negroes and the refusal is the act of the Constitution colored citizens as statesman does not know, or pretends not to know, that the ADMINISTRATION of laws by state officials is as much an act of the state as the MAKING OF LAWS by the state's legislative body. Of course, of Maryland, is much simpler: If we let you southerners get away with stealing the Negro's vote, why can't you reciprocate by letting us whiskey fellows get around that Amendment, and make an amenable unworthy of a senator, and almost criminal: It is an appeal to the "honor of thieves". Then Swanson, supported by Glass, of Virginia, is believed to believe that the mere passing of the 15th Amendment, which sought to make it plainly unlawful to disfranchise people on account of race or color, "repeals" section 2 of the 12th Amendment, which is not an affirmative in proportion to such unlawful disfranchisement. It is a mere quibble to say that the 15th Amendment "repeals" anything, when the sole object of the 15th was to support and strengthen the law laid down Bruce boldly acknowledged that he is not a black man. He said that he is but simply threatening to use the unconstitutional treatment of the Negro in a "deal" to him. That is all a low level for American statemanship. School Teachers Are Overworked Maybelle Chew Says Mr. Taxpayer Is One Of The Hardest Task Masters In The World. By MAYBELLE CHEW I work for Mr. Taxpayer, the hardest task master in the world. Mr. Taxpayer is never satisfied. Sometimes his children have too much home work, sometimes not enough. Sometimes the teacher is too rigid, sometimes too lax. Nobody can satisfy Mr. Taxpayer. As for Mr. Taxpayer, she wants her children's teacher to be a chaste virgin who is emotional, sometimes not emotional. Johnny's moods. She reserves for herself the right to drink, swear and smoke before Johnny and expects the teacher to contacter her influence in the five hours that Johnny is herded with the other forty-nine in the school room. Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer expect the best in modern education for their children, but if two cents is added to their tax bill, they send up a howl. In order to get the teacher to comply with School Board is compelled to overwork the teacher in order to keep down the tax rate. I like to teach, as I think I have said before, and I hoped that I could get from the fresh child minds before me, many new and wonderful ideas. I have been reading for sometime Mr. Angelo Patris' articles and one or two of his books. I see them as a source of study much information which would give the world some new knowledge of the working of the child mind, and I have always believed that every teacher ought to be written enough to cast his mind on the child mind. But in Baltimore we are trying to do the impossible. We are endeavoring to put over the modern methods of Education that are not working and that leaves the teacher mentally exhausted. New Dress Mental Stagnation No wonder the Schoolmasters slept on their speaker. If he was talking about anything real and concerned with life itself, they were unconscious. The one was talking about playing in the house all day Sunday. I haven't been to church but once this year I simply must read some of the current books. So I have to stay home from church. I have friends in the profession who think I am talking Greek when I mention some of the latest books, and they are not dumb, either; simply worked to death. Some of them say, I don't see how you do as many things as I do, but I myself stagnate. Not even the children for whom the sacrifice is made think any more of one. Mental stagnations is bound to show. Understand me now, if it were possible to manufacture center. Visits to the station the teacher will fill out full of ideas and mental pictures, and new vision. And, last but not least, fresh air. But can you imagine, taking fifty-five children any where and by the time you had taken them in groups, the proprietors would be tired of looking at them. Intelligence Overrated We have in our high school numbers of young teachers who have come to us from the great colleges of the middle West, North and South. When I heard some of their names, I looked to them and asked them if they were buchcures on the various subjects which they teach. To date I have yet to read a squub put out by any of them. Can it be that their intelligence is visibly overrated? I am inclined to think now. Students tell me that many of them will kill any spirit. Modern Methods All this I've been saying is one of the reasons I haven't written anything for so long. I've been trying to see that every one of my sixty children had their arithmetic all done for them, and I have been trying to attach the answers. I have carefully given all their number drills in the form of guessing games and auto races. I have earnestly made up another story for them, using the same words they used in the my cah, and I have been trying careful not to let them know what story they were going to read. If you don't believe this will tax any mentality, try it for just one month. I have taught three separate reading groups, the elementary, the middle, and the high up seat work for each group that would test their grasp of the work. I have taught three new songs each month, and about five games in physical, mental, and personal habits, and know, according to them, just when they bathe, eat, and go to bed. I have talked and sung all about how good vegetables are for children until I could scream. I have made up a principal card. A pumpl card. A memo test card. A memo card. A report card every three months. A number of absentee cards. for each of sixty two children. I have kept a progress card for the physical training teacher, and attended a demonstration lesson every Thursday. Grade 1 teacher gave me three months. I have gone back to school at night to parents meetings once each month and acted as secretary. I have washed my boards in ink twice a dav and drawn a new calendar. I have washed hands; sold from twenty to forty bottles of milk each week (still I couldn't keep the Western Maryland going), and had newly washed teeth lal in my hand; treated children with various pain and that's why I haven't written. P. S.-Some day next summer I am going to sit down and really do a little writing. I'd like to talk to you, I do. You like to share with you just one or two happy experiences I've had with a few of my youngsters. I'd like to tell you how, in s. e. of it all, the little old world is a mighty place. I like to share with you happiness, my primitive formula. Have patience and wait for me, will you? Weckly Lessons In English Do not say "there is no use in me writing to you." Say "in my writing."

To the Editor: I wish to say that your recent editorial comment in Company Day on the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company deserves to take rank as one of the greatest business editors on behalf of the Race that it has been my pleasure to read your analytical handling of this great question is refreshingly clear and insightful. I am sure that know there are those outside of the insurance business who realize just what a drain upon the Race's finances this patronage of the Metropolitan by our people constitutes, and that there is no compensating return in the way of employment and of For years I have been preaching the idea that we are spending FROM ourselves when we are spending FROM ourselves when we patronize our own enterprises. The financial stream going out from us is copious, but the one returning to us from the enterprises of the other people is a slingy Yours very truly M. S. STUART. Just a brief word of congratulation on the new dress of the AFPRO-AMERICAN. It is a great improvement, and all of us who are your friends rejoice with you in the change and all of us who are your friends rejoice with the change and all of us who are your friends rejoice with the change and remarkable improvement which has taken place under your editorship. We have noticed a steady improvement with almost every issue and hope you will continue to serve and prosper for thirty-seven more years. We have a remarkable interest in the matter, doubtless a blessing. GEORGE A. WHALEN, Burkittsville, Md. Wisdom Most Desirable: All Other Things Will Follow. To the Editor: Race leaders must be careful not to mislead youth. The stress wealth alone, youth will think that is the main thing in life to accomplish. The greatest thing on earth for any race to seek, is wisdom, knowledge, and understanding—like Solomon of old, riches, honor and long life (MRS.) M. L. MITCHELL G. L. SOMERVILLE Press And Pulpit Should Unite Behind Congress To Secure Enforcement of 14th Amendment. To the Editor: Every colored church, minister and newspaper should be allowed to publish a paimag to get a law enforcement plank that would include the 14th amendment into the 1928 republican platform. This should be observed both North and South. During this decennial each Congress has "fired" the plain constitutional duty in not passing an apportionment. Chairman Penn of the Census Com. now offers a bill (H. R. 130) that also violates the U. S. Constitution. It is based on "ratios of population" and not on "percentage of population" which is required in the tenth amendment. What looks like a legislative trick, joker, or effort at deception states it is not for 4 years (until 1932) to become operative. Reason and good sense would then suggest it ought to go over until returns from the 15th census become available but the 71st Congress make the apportionment. The ballot is the best defense the Negro can have against lynching, other acts of violence, or judicial murders that have been affirmed (see Supreme Courts). Without the colored vote the republican party is a minority in Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Missouri. The Democratic party is a minority to be close. Any considerable withdrawal of this vote in New Jersey, New York, or even Massachusetts may bring defeat to the whole grit and end in a republican flasco like the 1925 presidential nomination, permitted to annul and set aside the 14th it can with equal property so with the 16th, or 18th amendment. We would then practically be without a Constitution and soon have a government of "blocks" like France. McKinley was elected on a platform promising to every citizen "the right to cast one free ballot in all public elections and have the same honestly counted." I had it from some close to him Sen. Gerald R. McKinley intentionally relied upon like President Harriet Sturgeon in his next message before Congress. Dr. Winston Says The AFRO Reflects The Wisdom And Achievement Of His Founder. To the Editor: After visiting your up-to-date printing plant last week and making a few hundred century old manuscripts in ink you are performing your journalistic task and doing general printing, it would be selfish in me to withhold my congratulation and comment. The foundation of the great AFRO-AMERICAN was laid wisely by the late Mr. John H. Murphy, your distinguished and fairminded father, who taught the country this important lesson, that it is not the size of an individual, nor the strength of his muscles and guides, but the strongest brain, the deepest thought, the clearest intellect, broadest vision and real sanctified common sense. Today the AFRO-AMERICAN is the greatest RACE JOURNAL, and speaks a tongueless tribute to the greatest ERIC Murphy's wonderful wisdom and eloquence. Desertion of duty was not the habit of the late Murphy and I rejoice that it is not the custom of his intrepid and far-sighted son. Instead, he read your editor's weekly and take delight in testifying to the fact, that what you teach through the EDITORIAL COLUNANS weekly is ethically right, economically sound and psychologically right, would accept and address themselves to the task. The AFRO-AMERICAN is a benediction to our race, an honor to the country and a compliment to our editor's deserves of interest and the goodness of our performing will reflect themselves in the pages of history as a crystal lake reflects the eternal stars, for you have added luster to the race and the dips of coming generations will greet the memory of the man, who in time of reconstruction, defended his people against encroachment and saved their cherished name, and preserved their memory. He will be honored to the memory of the late hero. John H. Murphy, and compliments and congratulations to his worthy and learned successors of Northern H. RAFON, President of Northern H. RAFON, N. J.

She leaves familiar and良好 evidence so that future viewers see her lips, smarting, vision difficulty, and comfort. Even gloom and frowns, old school fellows to tears, are heartily condemned. Nature imprints a furrow in the frown and mouth with a perpetual glom. And while man has no direct control over the elements of wind, rain and clouds, yet man is able to see what he would have himself believe. He can smile. And smiles are man-made sunshine. HEARD AND SEEN IN BALTIMORE By RALPH MATTHEWS Local happenings—Mrs. Estelle Smoot, of the Druid Hill avenue and delacettess section, has called a special meeting of the Put and Take Bridge Club composed of the exclusive biscuit committee to discuss plans for adding the starving ear muff manufacturers. The radio and the I. W. W. have done much to case the once popular ear protector into the repute, and the conditions under which these honest laborers are forced to live are deplorable. "Many people," Mrs. Smoot declared in a statement to the AFRO, "who used to be loyal adherents of the ear muff have moved from the country and now drive Reo cars." This, she points out, shows to what depths humanity can descend when it strays from the old established institution, so dear to our fathers. "Is the ear muff destined to follow the same fate of red flannel underwear, corsets, beaver hats, and other time honored institutions, which form the very foundation upon which such a durable government has built. Never she ever answers," she murmurs. "The ear muff must reap rightful place in the hearts of man if our civilization is to endure." The program of the club to popularize the covering for scandal grabbers includes many novel innovations. Magic latern slides shown, showcased in the garden, depict the growth and development of the ear muff from the time it opens its eyes, until it grows a full coat of fur and is ready to serve mankind. Ear muff seeds will be distributed by the ladies of the club, upon receipt of an essay of 100 or more words on "The Part of the Ear Muff Has Played In Our National Development." If planted in the spring and properly cultivated these lancet seeds will be beautiful. Ear Muff bush, right in your own back yard, and by the first snow will blossom and produce enough ear muffs to protect the whole family. Luther Burbank has experimented with several Ear Muff bushes by grafting them with the milk weed and has developed a very palatable fruit, not unlike stewed prunes and cream. Few people know the amount of nourishment contained, and how invigorating one feels after a goodly bowl of steaming ear muffs, seasoned with a warmth of spirit. The ear muff bush blooms all winter, but at the first sign of spring becomes barren. To preserve it during the summer months, it must be constantly sprinkled with pulverized moth bails. Too many people. Mrs. Smoot declares, look upon the gristled protusions that nature has provided at either end of vacuum found at the top of the neck, as something to be neglected. Some use them to rest their derbies on, hook their spectacles on, and inform about the declares, "is not the sole purpose of ears. They are very necessary organs, and while they have done nothing constructive, they are directly responsible for the invention and existence of the radio, telephone and alarm clocks." Ears do not talk like the mouth or hink like the nose, but in it are informed about all the dirt among our neighbors, and in this respect are as valuable as any other part of the anatomy. Before the bobbed hair plague was visited upon the sinful world it was the consensus of colfurce opinion that bustle busters had no ears, but since the lawn mowers has been applied to feminine curls, these horrible looking naked beef are now preceptible to the naked eye. "We have exerted much energy saving our moirs for the tooth paste dispensers," stated Mrs. Smooth in her elegant and choosest language, "and now the time is ripe, when we should do something to preserve our gossip catchers." The drive has received the hearty endorsement and support of the pulpit and press. Mrs. Smoot is confident that not many moons will pass before the pulpit will have ear muffs on both sides of the singing and rightness will be restored in America. (Continued From Page 1) Other southerners talked about for the democratic nomination: Robinson, Arkansas, Georgia, Georgia, Hull, Tennessee, Glass, of Virginia. These are all highly respectable gentlemen, married, church members, and total abstainers, according to the Anti-Saloon League. The Virginia senator told Mr. Bruce that his grand children would not see a southerner in the presidency. You wonder why no southerner can reach the White House, do you not? The reason is YOU. Southerners keep you out of the voting booth. Turn about being fair play, they them out of authority, power, the highest bea Mr. Wilson got to the White House, not from Virginia, Georgia, or South Carolina, his home, from New Jersey, showing once more that often the longest way around is the shorter way home. City Struck Prof. A. R. Hatton, authority on population, tells one of the great Woman's Clubs that the people are city struck. Twenty years from now, 1 per cent of the population will be city dwellers. A nation of city people means early decay. It is all right to question the wisdom of white Americans desertin' the land, but you understand why colored people leave the farm for the city. Northern colored people have never been a country people. On the other hand southern colored people were never city people until the Rebellion. In the last twenty years country colored people in the South up and in the North down. Better times further on and started North. Mr. Borah, who started out to be an actor, told the United States Senate that he thought the South treated the Negro better than the North economically and industrially. You know what he, Borah is driving at. Booker T. Washington is used to say that a Negro could spend a dollar in the North but he couldn't make one there. Times have changed, see Now the Negro makes a dollar in the North and what make it in the South. A votess man living among a voting people will get what he can. A voting man living among those who vote with him may not earn much, but he will get what he earns. You see that of course. Mr. Borah, the Negro left the country for night city life. He left the South because he heard of a land where the democratic party hadn't read him out of the government. Colored men who make a good living solving the problem, say otherwise, but the truth is the light. Having driven colored people from the country our white people may some day repeat after GOTO. "Princes and lords may flourish or may fade. A breath can make them as a breath has made. But when peaceantry, their country's pride. When once destroyed can never be supplied." One Harmon Award Perhaps you were interested in the news that an award of some kind had been made to Julius Rosenwald and James H. Dillard. These distinguished gentlemen are honored because of their work with the poor, for men. As you find in the Bible, Honor to whom honor, custom to whom custom. Hang a picture of Mr. Rosenwald on the wall if you have one and tell the children of Nim. There are free races, according to those who have looked in the book Are the Caucus, the Negro and the Mozonian. Mr. Rosenwald's race started out, not a race, but a PEOPLE. After the grandeur of Babylon came the Jews, the only undoubted race. They knew how to know it as they have borne it if they knew it upon others. Rosenwald's interest in YOUR advancement is the cry of sympathy from the heavy heart. Mr. Dillard's "race" is in debt to all other "races," more in debt to yours than to any. Men in your time have done more for peace, goodwill, love among them. than Mr. Dillard Tell the children of both Mr. Rosenwald and Mr. Dillard, and say further as you speak to them that these gentlemen are signs of better times. White people must have plenty of money to operate on. YOU know how to skim, save make over old clothes, fatten on a little, get alone on the street. Your long Hampton will grow into a real college and Tuskegee, having changed its name to Booker Washington University, will catch up with the secret plan of its founder and become the one true university of the South. When you are about to pass resolutions denouncing our white people, remember Mrs. Harkness. Others among the rich will be remembered and until you could learn to walk by yourself.

SINGERS PARISIANS ACCLAIM Sextet Making Tour Of Southern France After Triumph In Capital MEET ROLAND HAYES French And American Press Lavish In Praise PARIS—The Fisk Jubilee Singers are now on a tour of southern France, following their triumphant bow of the season here at Salle Gaveau, and presentation in a private recital for Roland Hayes, who was once a student of Fisk. The soxet from the Nashville Tennessee college was given an acclaim by the French press which is said to have not been equalled this season except in the case of Roland Haves. The group will be abroad for six months and will include the principal cities of Eruope in its concert itinerary. The recital for Mr. Hayes was given at the home of Walter Varren, concert manager. Among the distinguished persons present were Miguel Covarubias, Mexican artist who won note in New York with his book of Negro drawings; Rose Rolando, dancer; Corrine Lowe, writer; and Eleanor Shaler, comedienne. The Paris edition of the New York Herald was warm in its praise of the American singers. It reported the affair: "Even more enthusiastic than the reception given the Flick Jubilee Singers, we had on the occasion of their first visit to Paris was the welcome given their return engagement by a crowd which packed the Salle Gaveau last night, and which included a large percentage of the American singers. Among those sponsoring the Paris concert were: William Phillips, American Minister to Canada; Miss Eva Gautler, the singer; Mme. Erenn Zimbalist, wife of the violinist; M. Vladimir de Pachman, the violinist; M. Vladimir de Bucques de Alba, Prinipelaes, Rospiglios, Baroness Hindenburg and numerous members of the Paris colony. The program. Including as it did, plantation songs, old Negro dudes, folk songs, spirituals, both American and French listeners." One French journal said in part: "Applause. American style. shook the unaccustomed walls of the Salle Gaveau last night when the enthusiast aroused by the singing of the Fisk Jubilee sextet gave rise to chore and pounding on the floor while the singers returned again and again for encores; the ball was sold out and many were turned away. The audience which filled the seats and packed standing room, was not as predominantly American as had been expected. "The majority were probably American, but plenty of French was heard in the hall, and the Parisians were as generous as the Americans in applauding." The article includes: Mrs. James A. Mvers, Lyds D. Collins, H. W. O'Bannon, Edward H. Matthews, Carl J. Barbour, and J. W. Whittaker. Musician's Trail By CARL DITON, For ANP NORTH CAROLINA: Sedalia, Oxford, Durham, Franklinton, Henderson, Kittrell. I had motored past a certain school just a few miles east of Greensboro on the Greensboro-Durham Highway quite a few times, but it had always occurred to me to be a Caretaker in institution. We will readily appreciate my surprise to find on the last time past that it was Palmer Institute, an institution founded some years ago by one of our most prominent educators, Charlotte Hawkins Brown. A comfortable crowd gathered to hear me on a Sunday afternoon and I was loath to leave the grounds the next day, for the atmosphere during my entire stay there was service personified. Besides, I missed the student body sing spirituals, for which it developed quite a pres- On a concert tour things now and then go wrong. And so it fell my lot to meet with some inconvenience my first week in that most progressive of the southern states, North Carolina, for it appeared that a whole week's mail had apparently gone astray in my coming, and landed in four towns without them being any antitimation of coming to give a concert! I have always found the South, however, quick to recover from a disadvantageous situation. So true to its reputation four of my concert promoters proceeded to set a crowd together for me for a Oxford graduate and a plaid audience Saturday until Monday for notification. How different Mary Peter School looked in comparison to earlier days! There was a dearth of tiny children, for she is gradually abolishing the early grades in favor of a full fledged college. College At Durham I gave one of the best piano recitals of my life in an effort to please President Shepard, of the North Carolina College, one of our prominent educators, who contributed so much encouragement the early days of my career I knew would be needed it now tranx across the continent. Naturally enough, I was especially anxious to please him planistically, and I believe that I succeeded. for he has recently acquired an especially responsive little grand piano. Franklin is a small town and President Savage of Albion Academy welcomes a noon-day appearance in lieu of channel services. The most cordial reception was given there. At Henderson I found myself with the Cotton family and their jolltie the week came to a close. Kirk, whose wife were the guests of another happily married educational couple. It being our custom, the, of using the Sabbath to cut down the distance to remote concert points, we set out from Kittrell College, which is undergoing improvements on a tremendous scale though not without being pulled out of the city by the highway by a corn desgrit of the dormitory boys, for we had been directed by the college president to leave the campus via the road used by the construction trucks and naturally we obeyed our host. But it had been raining!

Miller's "All Girls" Revua, the attraction playing the Royal this week, proves that the women can get along fairly well without the men, but even this road show novelty makes use of the one time exclusive badge of mere males. pants. The vehicle is one of Miller's attempts to bring the public entertainment which is not time worm, and the Male Girls, because there was its premiere. Packed with enough pleasing appearing maids, and with a wealth of costumes and draperies, the combination is somewhat ragged in spots. The changing of women into impersonations of male blackface comedians is an am- complishment which needs consider- able time or thinking time. Josephine Byrd, Marie Gonzalzis and Ismay Andrews put over their roles in good style. They easily hold the brightest spot on the bill, receiving a round of hands with their "Rock Plie Blues" and in the boxing bit. Mercla Marquez sells her taps and Charleston specialties throughout the production, winning the orchestra and the gallery with her vivacious grace. The girls at Karat's Karat Engegen, found it easy to click with the customers at the Monday evening performances. These girls have the grace and the span too. While the chorus singing comes out weakly and with no punch. Ada Banks and Sara Coleman come out splendidly in several numbers, including "Anytime", "Devilish", and "I Wonder". Miss Banks, Bvrd, Margaret Rhodes and Marie Coleman speak out loudly. The Six Plano Flends headed by Ona Welch, register feebly in their sextette numbers. They were using small Kimball uprights, each on a raised platform. In the act with Miss Welch are Margaret Rhodes Ismay Andrews. Iva Beasley Marie Coleman, and the Ada Banks. In the ensemble are Wilda Williams, Vela Mander, Lila Gordon, Zachary Cook, Alice Hoffman, Daisy Robinson, Clara Yearwood, Dora Woods and Iva Beasley. Miss I. M. Fontaine, who has managed Miller shows for nine years, is directing the girly revue. STAR Jules Weaver's revue creates very little applause at the Star this week. Coming in with a group of performers, who have an abundance of undeveloped material, the company fails to sell its wares in several numbers. Albert Spence, slack wrector and Lossie Bell Billups, contortionist, have an act which could be on Toby time and in the larger theater, but were given more professional finish. In the company's list of principals are Jules and Mrs. Weaver, Charlie Reed, "Raggs" Nelson, comedian; Margaret Nelson, Ralphael Weaver straight. The curtain turns to Katherine Reynold, Bessie Hola, Maud Eva Reid, Eula Moore, and Lossie Bell Billups.

The Inside Story MONDAY—TUESDAY RICHARD BARTHEL Adapted by Call VE rnon 6016 Listening In Listening In That Darn Transformer There are many things that can go wrong with the average can, but when the batteries are charged, the screws tightened, the aerial in excellent shape, the ground wire properly adjusted, and all the other "little things" humming nicely, take a look at the transformer. The trouble is often there. In fact, it is "very, very" often there. Seekers after distance have a habit of throwing the power on full before things are properly warmed, and inading of taking the charge gracefully, the transformer is likely to burn out.

Mr. Ziegfield, who happens to be handing four of his employees a $20,000 end, gave out some figures this week which indicate the increasing attitude of the whites toward race talent. His "Showboat", which employs a few white employees, costs $2,000 to operate for a week, and grosses an average of $50, 000 weekly. "Pory", with an all race cast, is in its 17th week at the Republic and still holding out above $12,000, a fine gross for a morbid Other indications of the interest of the moneyed white gentlemen in the three-year-old youngster Hannah Oatmeal Washington for Christie comedies in Los Angeles, and the planning of a new film production that she showed her merits as an atmosphere actress.

The risk, of course, the few occasionallywed the risk, of forestall the tragedy." Colors Taboo While a woman is a woman, be the white or otherwise, and color in women's clothes is desirable, prairie colors, colored hats, especially unisex American middle-aged women, are taboo the reason is that to wear bright colors may strengthen the white mind belief that the Negro is a childish race, and silly about flashy colors, in consequence, the average collection of dark ladies is a most drab and funeral affair. Nordic Approval Attention is also called to the fact that colored folk hesitate, less they err, and account their own men of accomplishment until the whites apprise them and pronounce them sound.

Pem Studio. By WALTER L. REEVES, JR. There is that no wall so long and loud as that of the "knockerers." They sound so loud and always of life. And so our little story begins downtown at the City Hall. In order to keep up with news and know what is going on I find myself in a muddle some morning in the City Hall building. There were two young lawyers in Criminal Court. Judge Solter in Criminal Court No. 1. So after the proceedings I ran down stairs to the basement floor to get some "lowdown" on the two "birds" in the Probation Department. Upon entering I was met by a charming little lady who sought my mischief. "A reporter of the AFRO-AMERICAN" I stated. She paused for a second and politely told me that she never did give anything out to that paper. She further informed me that the information I was seeking could be get from one of the other works. It wore Niggers. It wore Niggers. It wore Niggers. There was only a dark spot here and there. The defendant was on the stand, and the prosecuting attorney was at his best. That is just a virid picture of how judge Owen's court room looked when he was in it. "men" were being tried. But we are not interested in that. It is this—(speaking to the jury). "How could anyone hear anything when in one cell was four 'niggers,' six niggers, gabbling like a bunch of monkeys," spoke Jesse Berry, a white fellow, who later told the court he was from Mobile, Ala., during a cross examination. This "cracker" repeated the erroneous alibi he gave his attorney, who is from Washington, requested him to refrain and say colored. Anyway, that's Baltimore. Prejudice is gradually creeping more and more into the City Courts. The practice has become a daily thing in the room of Judge Sollee's criminal court, where the door directs all white persons to the front of the court room benches and leaves the last and rear seat for colored. If a white person attempts to enter the courtroom, the door directed to find a place further up. But in the case of a colored visitor, he is always directed to the last bench. It may be that hundreds of 'Brownskin Models' Coming To Royal Irvin C. Miller's "Brownskin Models" now in their third edition, will come to the Royal Theatre next week bringing a bevy of beauties, comics and singers. The curtain is covered by Blanche Thompson, who is supported by Joe Russell, John Henderson, Teddle Thompson, Saitus and Boatner, and Helen Towell. Ten specially picked girls make up the chorus.

DIRECTOR PROTESTS REVIEW OF DRAMA Instructor Of Morgan Dramatic Club Says Criticism Was Too Sensational SAYS THEME WAS MISSED Terms Play And Players As "Good Combination" The review of the Morgan College Dramatic Club production, "The Goose Hangs High" which appeared in the theatrical columns of the AFRO-AMERICAN last week was hotly protested Tuesday in a letter to the editor S. Randolph Edmonds, who directs the players, takes issue with the conventional review and with the comment in the column "Just Baltimore." Unfortunately, his letter is too long to publish in full. The striking passages are given: "Since it appears, to me at least, that the criticism of the Morgan College's Dramatic Club's production of "The Goose Hang High" which was written to evoke a controversy, appeared in your paper last week, I should let it die without comment in the unfavorable reaction it has caused. But it is so amazing your critics could see you, of that kind, that you give any more to emphasize except the characters uttered a few demons." I wonder what your critics would say if they saw a production of "What Price Glory", or had seen the "Bad Man" at the Auditorium last week. I am sure they would miss the whole natural horror of the form, but I wonder throughout world have found to praise. In the same way they missed the whole natural conservatism of children, in spite of the flappers and jazz age. With people wondering whether this younger generation will ever amount to anything, it is very streshing to find a Lindbergh ride. The "Goose Hangs High" to show us that children just as conservative as parents. "I have read some of the works of every important dramatist from Aeschytes to O'Nell, and have been associated with the production of amateur dramatics in three states, and have seen over seventy amateur and professional productions in the last twelve years, and I have yet to see one win an audience the play was an exceedingly good one, or else was superbly acted. If we won the audience, it is only fair to assume that one of the combination. We and many other think it will be a combination you are asking for things to criticize, you can always find them in an amateur play. The Negro press has, however, taken a favorable view of the efforts of the various organizations and has done all it could to help. This is done to help educate the Negro public in the appreciation of the serious which, I think, is a great excuse for any newspaper. There are many things you might have emphasized; valuable "1. With not a penny in treasury, and facing a public that has consistently refused to support even va-deville, we presented a play with a production expense of $118.50 and made a fair profit." 2. That a minister, in making an announcement between the second and third acts, paid a high tribute to our entertainment. This was done when most all the so-called offensive words had been said. 3. The dean of the college, himself a minister, attended the play and gave only enthusiastic praises. 4. That ten days after the play had been given, we have received not one single protest against the play, but an overwhelming number of compliments. 5. That the audience that contained some of the best people in Baltimore has asked for a second presentation. 6. That we would give a second presentation in answer to this demand, if it wasn't for the high rosy "7. That we presented a play only a few years after it left Broadway, one that is especially recommended to colleges—and that the audience was pleased. The statement could be said without so much verbosity, in order that those who didn't get a chance to see it would know without having to fish around for it. I know how an audience acted at it. I know how the audience at the Lincoln theatre in New York when Jules Bledsoe was, howled off the stage in Emperor Jones. Nobody in our audience put up the first howl."

LANSEY STUDYING INSANE FACILITIES Finds Institutions Caring For Psychopathic Patients Crowded DEMENTED A MENACE Vannie Lee Case Cited As Example Of Problem If the State of Maryland provided amply for its insane, demented and otherwise psycho-aborted patients, the number of tragedies could be averted, declared T. Wallis Lansey, in an interview given the AFROAMERICAN Friday. Mr. Lansey, recently appointed a member of the Board of Charities of the State of Maryland, insane facilities and cited the Vannie Lee case where two officers were killed by a demented man who shot and killed a woman so go free without treatment or confinement in some institution of this kind. Now with the number of psychopathic wards of local institutions increased during the past year, authorities find themselves forced to either provide more accommodations to the insane, or them to roam the street, he said. Crownville Overcrowded It has been brought to attention attention of Charities that both Crownville and Bay View are overcrowded, with 132 patients more than present facilities can properly provide. Especially in the colored departments are all wards crowded and the situation is worse than the spite of the fact that they have Mt. Hope, Springfield and Spring Grove. Many Demented There are hundreds of demented men and women now circulating in society who are a menace in many ways. We owe it to both them and society to provide them with an environment in which cases confinement in an institution for treatment is the only proper care, he said. Since the Vannie Lee occurrence, local police authorities have been more vigilant in enforcing these accounts and this accounts for much of the overcrowded condition. Mr. Lanssey plans a complete study and survey of all colored institutions to which the city provides funds and which constitute whole final supervision of the Board of Chartles. It is the duty of the board, he says, to make recommendations as to appropriations and administrative charity institutions in the state.

NEW P SOUQ Principals pals O Eligible SMITH NOW LEADING AFRO STRAW VOTE Penna., Rockribbed G. O. P. State, Shows Activity For New Yorker CONGRESS DEBATE HELPS Senator Bruce Hailed As Sec- ond Lincoln By HENRY F. ARNOLD Judging by the vote which is being given Governor Albert E. Smith, of New York, the most popular democratic member in the race for president by AFRO readers, who are casting their ballots in the AFRO straw vote campaign, colored voters are planning to vote the other candidates large members in the event that AI is made the democratic nominee. The fourth week of balloting by AFRO readers has given the New York governor a lead over all of the prominent republicans mentioned in the story; vote campaign including Secretary of State John Koehler who seems to be AFRO's favorite. The balloting from the state of Pennsylvania, where the governors are based, was the most "reckribbed" republicans of our group, has become stronger each week, and every vote has been counted. A PFRO straw vote committee last Thursday Dr. J. T. Whitson, of Monseness, Pa., said that a "Smith for President"ubus was being ordered, which has for its purpose the enlistin" of the heads of families in the section of the state to work in the interest of Governor Dr. Whitson declared that "if Governor Sithm is elected, we will have a real president in the chair." The race was not expecting any governor Gov. Smith, who was elected from any other than a square deal. He declared that the republican party had ceased to recognize the race since the ending of the Roosevelt administration, and that instead of classing the race over the republican voters were looking on colored voter as a liability. Indiana, New Jersey, New York State, Virginia, and Connecticut registered votes for Governor Smith, while the solid vote of Ohio was given to another strike-incident which shows the trend of the colored brothers' mind was a ballot sent from Hartford. Conn., by a Protestant minister with a X behind the name of Governor Smith. 12 Young One of the schools which will add impress to the balloting was the debate on the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments last Monday in Congress. Senator Swanson, M. A. Virginia attempted to prove that Negroes did not negroity deprived of the ballot. Senator William C. Bruce, of Maryland, senator senator, cross fired Swanson, Borah, of Idaho, Shortridge, California, and another senator Bruce became involved. During the debate Senator Borah tacitly implied that Negroes in the South were not deprived of the ballot literally.

Under Warden Harry C. Martin, he says, prisoners are not only being reformed, but many of them are saving their first money and growing "As the jail is now conducted, it is more than a penal institution. It is a detention and reclamation agency. It must be remembered that many of the prisoners sent to the prison are not proven to have these proven cases of some misdemeanor name, are given a chance to amend their mistakes," he said. "During my inspection trips made so far and talking to many prisoners, I have found no evidence of such punishment. Such punishment to be confinement in cells while other prisoners are permitted to mingle." Dr. Young found some of the prisoners saving money. They are all required to perform tasks, but when this work is done, they are not required to work for time which they are paid. Some of them save from $25 to $30 per month. Regular habits of sleep and eating have also greatly improved the health of these prisoners. There are instances where as much as 25 pounds have been added to weight. The Jail Board, which Dr. Young is the race appointee, has complete supervision of the city jail and besides regular meetings, its members are required to make such inspections as will protect the city jail, inmates and the City of Baltimore.

In a sense, neither team will be playing on its own floor and there should be a game on stage on Friday. Predictions as to will win the contest are rife, and since the showing made by Howard in her win, the odds on Morgan will be high. Many are who believe that the Bears will make short work of Howard.

When the referee announced a draw at the end of the Flowers-Tenorio fight Friday night, there was a large crowd of paid customers who disagreed with him. In the opinion of some of these customers in the Philippines; in the opinion of others Flowers should have been awarded the verdict.

What's the Eastern Baseball League doing these days? As far as inside doin' are concerned, the public is in the dark. From theachievementHarrisburg, Lincoln, and Brooklyn Royals not a solitary word has come. We realize that for race baseball, at least, we should to expect elbowplate plans for 1928 activities now. Now is the time for these team managers and mopups to get their done. Now is the time when it's all about when he plunks down his shields in May.

In doing some nice work down in the Gulf State, Jap Washington, Ryan Pryor, Thomas, and the gang are down in where the season is where are they going to be when the season opens? Unfortunately, we don't remember the name of the school—it was a white one—but anyway, it this past season, we decided that the football captain for the 1978 season will be selected AFTER the season is over. The idea struck us as a reason to move the team we understand it, the team members will appoint some one to ACT as captain on the field, but the REAL captain will be showing he has made on the gridiron during the season. The idea struck us as being rather unique. Why not elect him on the previous season's record, or convert it still the popular method and may be the best. The feature that we liked about the new method is the fact that a man playing on the team for the last season with the player who won his spurs a year or two previous, and now rests on past achievement to a large extent. We believe the method an incentive to greatness will discourage team play. For this reason, and none other, we pass this on to you. In the C. I. A.

Questions like this were overheard in the Umpqua basketball game Friday night. The subject of these questions happened to be Giles. West Virginia guard, who gave local fans one of the best games in the season, was been witnessed on local courts this season. Giles played hard all through the game, but due to a little alteration with Sheffey, he was put out of the game. And to show that the fans weer with him, when no left the game there were cheers for him, but for Sheffey—boos. Do you believe that there is any man in the world today who can see everything that goes on? To answer for you I'll say that I don't believe that any of you really would, it plausible to me, to seek such an imbalance. Yet there are fans who expect the referee to see every little move made on the court.

The Morgan Bear, stunned by the early 5-10 lead gained by the tossers of West Virginia College Institute at the New Albert Friday night, shifted into a higher gear and overtook the Mountaineers, devouring them by a 29 to 13 decision. The game, one of the best seen on local courts this season, was punctuated with brilliant flashes of individual play and stellar team work on the part of both teams, and at times, the team's defense if the West Virginia lads were going to take the proverbial bacon to the Mountain State. Inability to get the range of the ball, the skyward reaches of the stature, handicapped the visitors considerably. Morgan, once started, played a jam-up game of basketball, and the skyward reaches of the "Raps" were more than the Institute cagers could stop. Giles and Shannon, guards for the visitors, despite the score, were towers on the defense, and more blocked Morgan's scoring changes. Evidently believing in the adage about the early worm, Early. Institute forward, after being fouled by "Pinky" Clark, dropped a free throw through the cords, and the worm escaped incidentally, the only score that he made during the game. Touched as a point getter. Early's efforts were smothered by Wheatley and "Cattle" Brown. Shannon, running mate of Giles, runned mate of Giles, eluded the Morgan guards, and twice in succession sent the sphere swirling through the cords, placing the Westman on the long end of a 5 in. 0 score. "Pinky" Finds Basket Such conduct on the part of visitors was more than the shifty "Pinky" Clark could stand, and he accordingly roamed out and scored one for Morgan's first score. The Bears, now warmed up, began to display some of their old form, and Pinky's passing was less impressive. The missing the ball in, and slipped back again dropping one in that put Morgan out in front by the score of 6-5. Via the sky-scraper method, and Brown, after rambling around the court, got enough freedom to "seize him" and send one scorching third card. Whiting was sent in for Early At (Rward), but the Morgan defense Virginia forwards, unable to get within close range, would not take chances on long shots. At the end of the game, the score was, Morgan 13, Wa. V. 7. Fans Want Sheffey Whiting started thines off in the second stanza by caging one from the side within the 15-foot zone of fancy under-the-basket twirlers, and "Lanky", after crouching lofted one. The fans had been crying for Shelfie and blond and was last sent in to "Marse" "Hill" substitute for Jack Spencer, who had been crying for a basket. After warming up, Shelfie not away for one of his short shots. Redd. Institute forward, smoked one of the thirteen fans thrilled the fans by loquying one of those spectaculis shots from past mid-court. It was the most sensationally successful. Brown found the basket for a double-decker, and "Lanky", after showing one-hand artistry, galloped down the floor and caged one of his old reliable overhead shots. Forwards Checked The West Virginia forwards were able to score only three baskets during the game. Shannon accounting for the other, "Rapp" Wheatley's form would lean high in the air to smother the visitors' scoring plans and "Cutie" Brown was a constant menace to any scoring schemes. The team's defense was the outstanding features of the game. This youngster, by his headiness, clever floor work and vigorous of-fensive and defensive play, pivoted. That was the reason that no visiting guard has done here this season. Shannon was strong on the defense and offense, too, and played a creditable game. High scoring honors so to "Pinky" Clark.

When this pastor took the chair and announced the conference was ready for business, he accompanied the statement that there would be no wrangling; there was but one question to settle and that was whether the church was going to take over the Episcopal church or not and this would be voted on. On the Sunday evening previous to the meeting he had announced that the church would take over the William L. Gavin, attorney for the owners of the white church property, was to the effect that the church would over the church or probably face a suit for specific performance. Contract Given According to Mr. McKinney the Union church entered into a contract last August to purchase hte property, to pay $2000 cash, $300 within 15 days and then another when they could sell their building. It was this situation which faced the conference Thursday night and which the pastor announced must Joseph P. Evans and others opposing the purchase of the church, however, stated that there was no committee of officers handling the affair had authority only to enter into an optional agreement, but no power to complete the purchase. The pastor helped the action of the committee of officers behind it the full authority of the church body, and that it was binding. Resolution Questioned That the committee of the affair are likely to arise was indicated by remarks made by Mr. Evans, who stated that a resolution which he supported was taken up in August, was not the resolution which Dr. Over read as one giving the committee power to buy. This was taken to scan an accusation of animal resolution tampered with. The resolution read by the pastor is similar to one included in the minutes of the meeting when authorization of the church deal was voted on motion of The Madison Avenue Church, which has not been in use for some time, is now the property of Vincent N. Kerns, white, and wife of John Kerns. You negotiated the sale at a price of $72,000. Before it was bought by the Union Baptist Church, it was sold to the A. M. E. Zion Church, which also paid an auction price of $2,000. A prominent real estate agent is said to have it list- Called Bad Bargain Those who are opposing the pastor in buying the church say it is a bad bargain and that repairs would cost a valuable thousand dollars, in addition to the $72,000 purchase price. Those favoring the purchase say, however, that it is worth the money and needed to carry out the expansion. Immediately following the pastor's remarks, A. B. Koger offered the following motion: "We entire program for the removing to other quarters be dropped, and action taken thereciled; that all and any committees appointed to the pastor be dismissed, and all matters having arisen which require adjusting and be are hereby referred to the Trustee Board for immediate settlement." During the heated discussion by adherents of both sides, the motion was passed by a vote said to have been 146 to 106.

Passion's Price A Serial by LOUISE CAMPER ```markdown ``` KOESTER'S HONEY BREAD With apologies to Longfellow, it's along about 4 o'clock when little bodies are being rebuilt with extra KOESTER richness. KOESTER'S IS A MOTHER'S DUTY! Page Sixteen WHAT HAS HAPPENED Dick Lee, a 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. Stim Sala. Scala was a boy 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, slang, a habitue of Chicago's dance halls, cabarets, and a bar. Dick further finds that Luana has been swept into a life of 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. Cole's younger brother, Cudie 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, but the fur coat he gives Luana afterwards will help him in his at- CHAPTER VIII The mink wrap accomplished all that Luana Lee expected. It set her apart from all women. She was referred to as 'the girl in the wonderful coat.' Women of Washington, Philadelphia and New York gazed at her with eyes in which glittery glittered. The season in Baltimore was slow that winter, when cared Luana Lee, who had three nearby cities in which to display her beauty, her vivacity and her mink wrap? Then, softly and silently, in the wake of chilly rains, slipped in the cities. The trees in the parks and along the avenues were all a shimmer with delicate green and oval edges, delicate green. The odor of sap was in the air, a hint of buds about to burst, the smell of fresh breezes that floated up from a fragrant Southland. Spring—Love's season! Those already in love were doomed to fall under the seductive spell of the balmy weather. In Washington one couple had already succumbed, and had one of far progressed beyond the mere stage of living in love that they were new for fulfillment—marriage. The girl was tall, slim, and daintly attired. She belonged to a race of dark-skinned people but she was as white as a Swede, blue-eyed as a Viking's daughter, and as yellow-haired as the Deutsche Lorelei. She was beautifully dressed and carefully groomed, but not even the man who looked her with the eyes of love could call her pretty. As for the man, he was tall, also, but brown, and he wore a stiffly starched interne's uniform and succeeded in looking military in it. For the rest of him, he wore a terrific frown. And why not? Was he not in the unenviable position of wanting to get married and not having the necessary cash to do so? Painfully so, while his girl was drawing down a fat salary teaching in Washington, not to mention the fact that she was the daughter of Attorney Lewis, who ruled Washington with one hand and took care of all the properties in the Negro section with the other. He that is, the poor interne, would soon be not even an interne. His year of service was coming, and he all dressed up in a cap and gown and with three diplomas and nothing to do with the whole business. The moonlight, the gleam of the lake, the nearness of Constance meant very little to Dr. Masson that spring night. What he was most interested in was where he was going to get the cash to furnish and maintain an office, and to furnish his interior with one meal every twenty-four hours. I wear I won't go to red capping." He remarked to Constance. "You don't have to." Constance Lewis reminded him with a laugh. "Don't be discouraged before you start. Van. dear. You have hordes of friends right in Washington, and the hospital right here, too." "That's just the trouble." complained her flame. "This town is overrun with doctors who have full normal reputations for themselves. It would take me ten years to get a good practice here." Not for nothing was Constance the daughter of the great Attorney Lewis. "Well, then, you'll have to go elsewhere. How about Baltimore? Didn't you say you were going to ask an old friend of yours to look over the helm in Baltimore?" she said. "I added the doctor. 'Dick Lee, my old classmate, can give me the lay of the land. I forget all about writing him.'" "Well, just make sure that you don't forget again. I'll write to him tonight. Come let's go home." They strolled down the hill to the monstrous old house on Tea street, where Lewis dwelt. And he consulted wrote, Mr. Masson mused. "Dick Lee is a good old val, if ever there was one. A chap with a lot of good common judgment tucked back in his hard thinking old bean. Yes, Dick the man who'll help me." Call VE rnon 6016 They took the letter and walked to the mail box on the corner. The arc light shining through the leaves of the old trees threw a lace, fluttering shadow around them, and since there was no light to see, she pressed the letter to her lips and murmured, "Bring him luck." If she could have seen the luck it was to bring him, she would have torn the letter to shreds and cast the pieces to the mild spring breezes. It was Saturday, noon and June, when Dr. Masson presented himself at Dick Lee's apartment. Luana Lee opened the door for him. His very first impression of her was her remarkable resemblance to some great actress of the screen — Louise Fazienda, the comedienne. Luana Lee housed her housekeeping, and she had on one arm of protection. She had rolled her hair in many small twists and had covered it over with a white cloth. Her head looked as though she had been badly treated by an army or hornets. Her face was covered with a thick coating of cold cream, her hands were hidden in a pair of Dick's old gloves. her feet were incased in a pair of tennis shoes—last year's. She wore an old gym suit; one shoulder leg up, one down; and while the outfit may have added greatly to her comfort, it certainly contributed nothing to her pulchritude. It was the pulchritude at the sight of Luana, but he was not so successful with his eyes for they laughed out loud. "He's laughing at me, the hungry looking high-brow." thought Luana. Aloid she demanded. "Well, what kind of life insurance are you trying to sell?" he boss," said Dr. Masson. "and be quick about it or this time next Saturday you'll be on a brand new job." "Outside, Lonboy," said Luana. "We buy our patent medicines at the drug store." "Kidly tell Mr. Lee that Mr. Masson is here," said the visitor with great dignity. "Oh, you're Dr. Masson. Why couldn't you say so? Dick will be in soon. Sit down and preserve the arches of your feet." Dr. Masson seated himself and Luana resumed her fight with accumulated dust and dirt. Her howls ran on a ching like this. He said that the way I like 'am; he's brownskinned I like that, too. And he looks good, but not too pretty. Well, well, fate has surely delivered you into my hands." What Dr. Masson thought of Luana had best remain unwritten. But when Dick came in and introduced Luana as his sister, a look of amazement came on Dr. Masson's face. To think of a sturdy old chap like Dick showing such bad taste in selecting a sister! Knowing that a new conquest impended, Luana made her toilette with extra care. She brushed her hair until it shone. her skin took its place. She wore it with a frock of green that was cool, and green and lace. And she was not above the baseness of wearing Lubinart's gleaming levels. When she stepped into the living room, Dr. Masson stopped in the middle of a sentence. His grave eyes met her half laughing ones and over his face spread a hallowed expression. It was as though someone and succeed him, his outstretched palms and he had thrilled and fallen silent before their beauty. He arose, as though he expected an introduction and stood there until Dick reminded him saying, "The my sister, you remember. You met her the afternoon." Dr. Masson reddened while Luana giggled at his discomfiture. He and Dick resumed their discussion, but Luana, in her favorite posture in the easy chair, drew his eyes like a magnet drawn iron ore. Dick was all for a big start in an exclusive residential neighborhood. "See here," he said, "you may as well start right. Take a chance. Borrow money to pay a stiff rental. In a couple of years you'll be fixed for life. Start with well-to-do people and in ten years you'll be chasing around with a collection in your hand." "That's good logic. Dick," said the physician. "The only trouble is that I don't want anything cut and dried. Nothing irks me like monotony. A batch of morning calls, back to a dull office, more calls, over and over again would be the death of me." "I'd be willing to starve almost if I could now and then get a good lively bounty with death and save some poor devil who has had sense enough to get where I don't know what the day will bring forth so it brings forth something big. Now. I want you to tell me where to find such a location." As the doctor talked both Dick and Luana turned surprised faces toward him. Finally Dick laurched and said. "I see. You prefer thrills to food." prepare Liana's eyes and the doctor's caught and held an instant. He thought, "She thinks I'm a sentimental fool." Luana thought no such thing. She was thinking that she'd like to work by his side. She volunteered, "Doctor, I know a section of the city that's just what you want. Where the children look like the pictures of the starving animals. It's right down in an alley back of— Dr. Masson and Dick joined in a shout of laughter. "Well, I won't insist on an alley," explained Dr. Masson. "I'd be satisfied with a street that borders on an alley." Dick knew the city intimately from his trips on the parcel post delivery. At last they considered a street in northwest Baltimore. It was thickly populated and new envelopes of spreading out blocks now occupied by white people, and was heavily trafficked. It was a broad street and the houses were large and airy, but decadent. Parallel ran two alleys, on each side. Every block or so it was crossed by small streets crowded with the type of folks that Dr. Masson seemed to hold dear. How's this for an avenue of thrills, medical and surgical?" asked Dick as they traversed its length. "Good enough," answered the doctor. "This section looks about ripe." With little difficulty they arranged to rent a "parlor." The room was deep with a high ceiling, and Dick began at once to measure it. "Say, listen! I'm a good handy man. I can come around heer after work and put up a partition so that you can have a waiting room. Man, this is just the place. I think you'll make good here." He was as happy a kid as some of his own lost ambitions came back to him. "Don't go so fast, boy, cautioned Masson, 'I have ambitions to board yet.' "O you'll climb it, all right," said Dick. "You tackle that and by the time you get your license I will have this place ready for business." He was as good as his word, for when June 15th came he filled papers and Dick had his office ready for him. "Now all you have to be in to hang out your shingle," said Dick, and Dr. Masson promptly and proudly did so. "But something's still missing," mused Dick. "with the doctor's The desk was in place, tied to the heavy books; the operating table and white well-worn cardboard sterilizer, and even the well known picture of the skeleton were all there. all mute testimony to Dick's ability to out-jew the Abrahams of the second hand Gay street shops. Messon rassed an arm across Dick's shoulder, "You have stood to me like a brother, pick I appreciate it." "O. forget it." said Dick and looked out of the window. "Southern know what's wrong. Curtains." he circulated. "You're right," said the doctor. "All offices have curtains." "Yep," said Dick, and added. "And I'm hanged if I can make curtains. But Luana can, I suppose." "So," said Dr. Masson with haste. "Don't bother her." "Sure, I'll bother her," said Dick. "The more work she has to do, the less trouble she'll get into. And she has a God-given aptitude for mischief." "You must make her stop drinking," the doctor cauticed Dick. doctor caftured Dick. "Well, how did you know?" "The sign on her dress," answered Dr. Masson. "In five years those shadows under her eyes will be pouches, and that little catch in her voice will be a croak. Make her cut out the liquor parties. That's one game that no woman can get away with." "It will take time," was Dick's reply. "I have a theory. I'm trying to show her a side of life that she hasn't seen before. She knows dance halls, cabaret and dens, and she knows the thrill of being Queen of them all. I'm trying to show her another side of life innocent pastimes that exact no bol. If I cut her entirely, my life—I lose her. This way, I'm sure to win." Dr. Masson was not so sure. "Her beauty" is against her," he said. "She has a ruinous face, like Hewlett's Helen of Troy. She invites temptation. You may reform a plain woman, but men won't let you reform her," protested Dick. "I'm simply exposing her forces for self betrayment, just as you would expose a patient to Violet-Ray lamp. Then I'll let her reform herself." "I hope it works," conceded Dr. Masson. "Any way, it making curtains will help, let her So Luana came to the office. She not only made curtains, she reenamelled the chair and the table so efficiently that they lost that well known second hand look. She stained the floors, she rearranged the pictures. Dr. Masson found her there when he returned from the few calls that took him out of the office. He seemed embarrassed, sometimes indifferent, and there were calls for help, asking calls for him but Luana seemed happy enough, so he thanked her and let her her way. She was there one afternoon when there came a terrific banging on the door. Dr. Masson opened the door. A woman rushed in. Her face was blanched and she was stricken dumb with fright. She thrust a screaming baby in the doctor's arms, and then she promptly collapsed on the floor. Dr. Masson carried the livid baby to the waiting room door and called to Luana. Luana's eyes opened wide and she recoiled at sight of the fallen mother and the horrible child. "The woman's simply fainted," said the doctor. "This child is burned. Get a clean sheet from the dresser on the table. Luana did as he directed. The doctor laid the agonized child on the sheet and turned to Luana, again. "Now, see if you can get those clothes off while I get my things prepared." Luana froze in terror. The child seemed to be one great raw wound. She wanted to scream out, "No, I will not touch it," but she shut the words behind tightly closed lips. With trembling fingers, she struggled with the crumpled, blackened clothing; with trembling lips she shrank from the cries of her touched hands. She saw that tiny patches of skin clinging to the burned rags as she stripped them off. It was with a mighty effort that Jim Scala's daughter, a child of dance and song, schooled her fingers to their terrible task. But Scala's sporting blood came to the surface and proved her game to the core, so soon the child was stripped of its clothes and covered with a sterile sheet. What happened next was all a daze to Luana Lee. She saw, as in a dream, Dr. Masson's swift fingers working. She saw him snapping off burned flesh, applying hot wax which hardened into a protective covering; she handed him bandages, adhesives, scissors. At length she realized that the screams of pain diminished, and then ceased, and that actually the baby had found the burned finger and suckled it. She then finished with a difficult little mite of humanity and Luana wrapped it in its clothes as best she could, and laid it in its mother's arms. And so, as far as Dr. Masson was concerned, one more case was over. Not so with Luana Lee. She followed the mother to the door and said. "That'll be two dollars, please." The woman reached in her pocket and smiled apologetically. "I declare, I was so worried that I forget all about paying the doctor. I went to the doctor's desk. He said, "Thought you were too frightened to ask for the money. I was going to collect later." "I am never too frightened to get what's coming to me. Another thing. I believe in collecting on the spot." She might have added that in Scala's den one naid the house on the way out. That night. Dick Lee looked across the table at her shining eyes and flushed cheeks. "What have you been up to," he asked. "Something wonderful," answered Luana proudly. He and I took the child up. Just immedit. It. Dick. We fixed the child up. Dr. Masson and I. I feel great. Great." She stretched her arms above her head in a sweeping movement. "I think I'll study nursing so I can be a real help to him." "Don't waste your time," Dick advised her. "Masson will probably get married and save himself the trouble of hiring an office girl." "Married," elucidated Luana. "Is he going to get married?" "Most of them do," returned Dick vaguely. "This was a new and disturbing thought to Luana Lee. She decided then and there that if Dr. Masson needed helping that she would do the helping herself. (To Be Continued) MANNERS Q. What two rules should be regarded as to the use of perfumed stationery? ? A. Perfumed stationery is used by women only, and the perfume should be faint. Q. Should friends or relatives in mourning be invited to a wedding? A. Yes; it is both proper and considerate to extend the invitation. Q. What type of tray should be used for tea? A. A wood, silver or glass tray. BEAUTY HINTS What can give a woman more the feeling of assurance than a perfect fitting, and becoming hat? The woman thus equipped goes her triumphant and conquering way with the lissom tread of security and conscious power. Too big in the crown, perhaps, or too drooping for your drooping face. Correct this. . . Take the scissors and slash that crown, sew it back overlapped until it does fit. If necessary, cover the seam with matching ribbon. If the brim is too drooping, cut the brim off and put a new flat one in its place. To cut a brim is simple, but if you are afraid to attempt it, glue it. By all means, attend to it that your hat helps instead of hindering your progress toward beauty.

For instance, the teenager who was not sure what those irresponsible ambeciles who shake a mean hoof when the lights are on and other parts of their—but why bother about that? Anyway, the younger generation is doing the Lindberg Hop. The Household Scrapbook The Household Scrapbook POLISHING WATER FAUCETS POLISHING WATER FACULTIES Scour the water faculties with a slice of lemon, after the juice has been extracted. Then wash them and polish with a soft dry cloth. The Lindbergh Hop is merely a variation of the Charleston, Black Bottom, and resembles closely two people having an equileptic fit in partnership.

For another instance, they are staging leap year dances. The girls pay their own way in as well as the way of the lounge lizard who accompanies them. Leap year dances are very popular, at least, with the lounge lizards.

Ernest has transported Paris to Baltimore, via New York. They have different nights at the Club Arabianan. Sometimes Moulin Moulin is called "Folles Nite" and sometimes it's "Jordan de Dance Nite"; in fact, sometimes it's almost any "nite" you can think of, so long as its French. Mix sugar and flour, add melted butter, lemon juice, egg yolk slightly beaten, milk, egg white slightly beaten, and salt. Bake in one crust, and cover with meringue or not, as desired.

"Any preparation that straightens the hair quickly, contains substances injurious both to the hair and the scalp. Kohinoor is not supposed to straighten the hair instantly," he declared. "Nor do its manufacturers guarantee luscious glossy hair at the first two or three applications, but with careful treatment and care. Just as one cares for hair, in caring the hair will not only become straight, but dandruff will be eradicated and hair restored to parts now growing thin." The banquet was the first of a series of demonstrations in a campaign to popularize the Kohinoor products in the city. CallVE rnon 6016 MOTHER Mrs. Wm. W. Cargill and son, wife of Dr. Wm. H.
