GRAHAM OUSTED FROM ZION CHURCH Courts Holds Lott Carey Head Resigned, Pulpit Is Denied Him PASTOR WILL HARDLY FIGHT COURT'S RULE Trouble In Church Arose Originally Over Assistant Pastor PHOEBUS. VA.—The Rev. A. A. Graham, for 27 years pastor of Zion Baptist Church has been ousted by court order. The court action came following a hearing on an injunction filed by seasons of the church to restrain him from acting as pastor. The de- cision handed down by Judge C. Vernon Spraate in the Circuit Court held that Dr. Graham was no longer the pastor of the church and that he has no authority as the minister of the congregation. Judge Spartan held that the evidence presented conclusively showed that Dr. Graham tendered his resignation to the congregation and that he was not following a statement by the court that a permanent injunction would be issued, if Dr. Graham attempted to act as pastor on any way. Judge Spartan also stated the church, his attorney, J. W. Newsome stated that his client would not attempt to further pastor the church and that permanent injunction would not be issued. Assistant Pastor The trouble which resulted in the outing of Dr. Graham arose last year when because of his secretarial career, Care Foreign Mission Convention Dr. Graham employed the Rev. C. H. Pearson as assistant, his services increased. The amount of this salary was so small that the Rev. Mr. Pearson refused to serve after a short time and when he was leaving members predeceased a purse of over a hummed dollars. This is said to have riled pastor Graham and at the meeting June 16, 2004, he would no longer criticize and that the church could get a pastor after three months of the officers took him at his vows and September paid him his salary to date. At this time, however, Dr. Graham refused to relinquish the pulpit with his vows and September issued it. It was this fact which the court settled Monday in ousting him. Started Suit In the matter of controversy with his officials, the Rev. Mr. Graham instituted a label suit against the church clerk, J. N. Clark.

SENATE Measure Aimed At Mixed Indians Passed In House; Failed In Senate BLACKS MARRIED REDS BEFORE CIVIL WAR One Drop Of Colored Blood Would Have Made Negroes Of Them RICHMOND, VA.—The Price Bill to define a Negro, as a person having even one drop of Negro blood, passed the Virginia house of delegates, but was blocked and failed in the Senate this week. The bill, which passed the house last week and had been reported favorably by the Senate committee, was voted down, 26 to 13. In the presence of the venerable chiefs, tribal heads of the Pamunkeys, princesses and squares in our Indian attire, Senator Henry T. Wockham denounced the measure as discrimination against the Indians. The measure passed the house after a heated debate and defines Negroes a stable amount of Ethiopian blood without reference to limit of time or number of generations, and would define Indians as having one-fourth or more of Ethiopian blood. A Single Tree. Under its provisions any Indian with a drop of Negro blood would be a Negro instead of an Indian. The sum will remain automatically the status of 5000 Indians now classed as white.

He admitted that many Indians had Negro blood in their veins, and a 99 per cent Indian as a Negro. It was also brought out that many Indians now belong to white churches and have a 99 per cent Christian terms with whites. "What shall we do with them if we class them as Negroes?" a minister asked. Integrity Crusader John B. Crusader, integrity zealot who is sponsoring the bill, declared that he was surprised that a Virginia preacher would alimit that he may members with Negro blood in their fifty thousand near white mixed breeds are pressing on the color line, he yelled, and if we let down the bars, we would be in danger.

His reason for visiting Washington to contortory between him and Miss Burroughs is at fever-heat. Dr. Williams said, is that he is traveling in America to promote the interests of Baptists through the Baptists denomination Baptists have a larger opportunity than any other denomination, he stated, because there are more of them, he out the number of Baptists at three and one-half millions.

Stevenson of South Carolina was getting off a tirade against Negro employees of the Chicago Post Office Representative Martin B. Madden admonished him to go back down South and clean up his own house, in a stinging rebuke Wednesday. The rebuke followed a sarcastic speech made by the South Carolina representative while he was resulting from a resolution from the National Civic Welfare Association of Chicago, headed by one W. Gellbaugh, white, and another fighting the present policy of employing more people in the Chicago office. go. Stevenson declared that it was the contention of the National Welfare League that Negroes too much recognition from political bosses. They say in this communication that the population of Chicago was 400,000,000 of this population or about five per cent, are colored. Out of the entire employment in the Chicago post office, 11,019 men, 2,950, or 31 per cent are colored. Quoting a report made by efficiency experts during the Harding administration in the time 900 white men could do the work that 1400 colored men were doing. Stevenson suggested that the state should reduce the number of race men and women employed. "I will say in conclusion, Stevenson said, 'that they, Mayor English from the public schools and higher institutions of learning, according to these people, ought to eliminate a Africans from the post office, if they are telling the truth."

UNIT IN HOUSE Majority Report States U. S. Should Do As Much For Negroes As Indians MINORITY DIXIE MEMBERS OBJECT WASHINGTON, D. C. The bill authorizing Federal appropriations to aid in the construction, development, improvement and maintenance of Howard University was favorably reported to the House last Wednesday by Representative Daniel A. Reed, Republican, of New York, from the Committee on Education to which the bill was referred. The committee recommended that the bill be passed as introduced. A minority report, signed by Representative M. C. Tarver, of Mississippi, M. C. Tarver, of Georgia, and Renc L. DeRouen, of Louisiana, all Democrats, was also submitted. Majority Report The majority report is in part as follows: Apart from the precedent established by 49 years of congressional action, the committee of the Howard University is fully justified by the national importance of the Negro problem. "For many years past it has been for the Negro to be denied an obligation to the Indian, whom they dispossessed of his land, and annual appropriations of sizable amounts to the cause of the Indian. The Negro was not robbed of his land as was the Indian, but he was selzed by forces and brought to the case of the Indian. The Negro was not robbed of his land as was the Indian, but he was selzed by forces and brought to the case of the Indian. For generations he was the slave of the white man, and where, as a race, he has since been compelled to eke meager, and precarious existence." "Moreover, financial aid has been and still is extended by the Federal Government grant colleges of the various states. While it is true that Negroes may be admitted to these colleges, the conditions of admission generally it may be said that these colleges are not at all available to the Negro, except for agricultural and industrial education. "This is particularly so in the professional medical schools, so that the only class A school has doctors, dentists, and pharmacists, aside from Mehary College, at Nashville, Tenn. is Howard University, it being the only place where compulsory secured by the colored student. "There is furthermore, a strong school like Howard University should be maintained in the District of Columbia. The Freedmen's Hospital was authorized by Congress, and named by Howard University. The university generously leased the land to the Federal Government for 99 years, at $1 a year, with privilege of renewal for a like period. "The existence of this hospital so near to the medical school of Howard University offers the students of the university an opportunity which exists nowhere else. The clinical instruction which is necessary to complete each student's medical course. On the other hand, this opportunity exists for white students in every sale of the school." The edition to the great importance to the country of having an institution capable of developing trained leaders for the colored race of the country, the necessary of making a possible a supply of properly trained physicians of that race for the protection of the health of all our people, white as well as black, must be made by every fair-minded American citizen. Minority Report In the minority report, the annual appropriations ranging from $10,000 to over $500,000 are declared to have been made illegally for the reason of authorizing them has been passed. The question involved, the minority report says, is the establishment of a governmental policy of "sustaining one university for one race by Federal funds, while the minority report says that race and all other races are left to state county, or municipal support, or to private philanthropy."

Then shall we go on from year to year making these large donations to the city of Washington while the constituents of our home schools pay the taxes and struggle in in poverty with their own institutions? White Doctors Preferred? "Some members of this House have expressed a hesitancy as to their vote on this bill because of the answer they may have to make to their behalf for some to consider the answer to be made to their white constituents who are struggling so hard to maintain institutions for the education of their own young people.

District Funds "But finally, if Howard must be submitted for our reason, we submit that it should be done with District funds, just as other cities all over the Nation give large funds for great institutions of learning, and we give them material and otherwise which such an institution brings to the town in which it is located." Boxer, 64, Spars With Wife; Freed PHILADELPHIA. Pa.-Big Joo Butler, a former heavy-weight pugilist of four decades ago, because Joe is now 64 years old, was acquitted in 1992.

She said, when she was removing the furniture which she claims was hers, "Joe" smashed the furniture and hit her with a piece of steel made by Mary. The stentomaker made by Mary, and said, the furniture was his and he had worked hard for it. He said Mary moved it away on April 1st. He said it was "April Fool's Day," and he was the fool.

Race Relations was the topic of a very fine meeting at the Phyllis Wheatley Vespers Sunday, Miss Colinary Franklin Cost presiding, the University of Hawaii Howard University, Miss Marion Haney, who has just returned from Honolulu, and Dr. Stanwood Cobb, professor in Roberts College. Comparison of otayes were in the audience. It appears to me that while the intermingling of the races is slow in Washington, and the meetings for better understanding between the getting-together is on a higher intellectual plane than many places where contacts are made, and where the otayes come appear to view the "zoo" to analyze us or to get a kick for their jaded passions. The Krigwa Our little Theatre Movement has made another bow to the Washington public, and even though last Saturday night was a bit threatening, the audience was almost packed. Now I do not want to burden you by going into the plots of the plays, but I must tell you something about the players who gave such a good account of them—the praise and hand-clapping of sympathetic and enthusiastic audience. The first play given was "Blue Blood," and May Miller, who took the role of the lead, was very intense, and held the stage throughout the play: Beatrice Brown played the other mother, with much suppressed emotion and like an old stager; Elmir Robinson was a sweet bride, and Wayland Rudd was appalled, the jilted but finally successful lover. The second play was "The Hunch!", portraying the life of today of Harold Turner, a man whose slang and vernacular, Vivian Turner was splendid as the star and (she is a cute lover, too!) Estelle Evans and her suasive, avaricious landlady; Leander Hill could make his living handing out numbers, and was most convincing and acted well; Jennings Newsome played the hero and saved the heroine in a spectacular way; and as the devilish, filmmaker lover. "The Flight of the Natives" was the third play, and this was by far the most appealing of the three, because he taken back to those odious antebellum davs. The characters were splendidly chosen, and the actors submerged their own personalities and played the parts of slaves with remarkable charisma. Helen Kenny was fine as a stunning slave woman, willing to risk everything for their men and freedom; Bernard Pryor was wonderful as the leading rebellious slave, and he was a great man, well, especially Sam Ponel as the cracker slave owner; but the find of the season was Llewellyn Scott, small, quick and alert, who threw himself into his part with a feeling. Washington public is looking forward to more of this worth-while endeavor. S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society This society gave a musical Tess A. You would have enjoyed the mis- cellaneous program rendered by one of the outstanding musicians of the this organization of the church, a concert of their spiritualists in the spring. I am so glad our group has at last seen the beauty in these songs, the Nordics have taken our music, the blackface comedian chatter (and excelling in it: viz: Moran and Mack), and are now taking our spiritualists and making their chatter (and excelling in it, but the one drop of sepia blood, and they can't use that. Chez Savoy I mentioned about the party last day of Dr. Chester Ames, the pride of Dotroit, and I know you are itching for a few particulars. It is hard, hard, hard, hard, whether it was Ruth and Sevy, Arthur (Helen has flown West you know) or Hattie. Well, anyhow, there's no use in my telling you over and over again what you already know of the qualities of the house-owner, their guests enjoyment and entertainment. Their reputation along that line has traveled s far as the ether waves. The honored guest is a most splendid woman, for her speech, which means in low-down English, that he's got a clever line, and a few of the girls around here have already found that out and believe me. Lollop, he has a discriminating eye for feminine beauty, and a choice morsel, but will let the guest depart in peace. The return to the doings—the music was superb until Doue Speaks arrived, and then he was true, but you might as well try to keep us women away from a bargain counter, as to keep him from the piano; and there were no nicks against that punch, but from it. It had the touch of a master. More Parties Violet Thompson entertained the Cleetis Club at her residence, known as Studio Violet last Tuesday night, and enjoyed a delicious dinner, cards and enjoyed a delicious supper. Florence Waters and Ruth Piper Houstonn won the club prizes; and Gladys Layner Price Grady took guest honors. The Matrons Eta Young entertained the Matrons at the Clarke T. Street last Thursday night. There were eight tables of friends, and a most enjoyable evening at the Master of Grasslands, that exclusive club catering only to the creme Washington's society, and men assemble. Audie Lewis and Mrs. Terrell won the club prizes; and for the guests Tessa Comnelly, Tuth Sawyer and Narka Rayford book their honors and such lovely linen towels they were. The Youthfuls Sallie Fisher Clark entertained the Youthfuls at her home last Saturday evening, and had about twenty-five guests. The guests were served with a delicious luncheon of creamed shrimp in pattie shell, stuffed celery, pickles, sliced cured pineapple with whipped cream cake and cherry with whipped cream.

Anne Johnson and Tessa Connellly for the club; and Annozan Flagg, Rush Savoy and Madge McCormick. The girls were given consolation favors of all-day suckers dressed up like dolls. Twins Mary Dulancy Evans has the disdain of boys born to two boys, born last Saturday. Now the school authorities ought to extend Mary's leave of absence twice as Elopers! ! ! \ And Lollipop! there is another exciting event! Speaking of twins reminds me to tell you that Charlotte Wesley took her brother Elizabeth last fall to Philadelphia last fall she cloped to Philadelphia with Wilburt Strickland. Elizabeth and "Tick" Smith actually went with the elopers and saw the knot tied and sped them to Philadelphia. The elopers are honeymoonly; for a brief time. They are to return to the city Tuesday, and of course the first thing they will do is to seek parental love in easy way for Dr. and Mrs. Chas. I West to do—but let us hope their path will soon be rosey. I hear the newlyweds are to have a cow apartment on Georgia avenue and soon they will be in a supportive school duties; for Charlotte is a teacher at the Armstrong High School, while Wilbur is a "freshie" in the edible School, so he has a merry one with to travel. Out Again Everyone is glad to see Bessie Russell stepping out again, after her encounter with the forward end of that automobile. And she looks so well—the girl really absorbed some shock, without showing it. Sonhomores' Hop The Sops of Howard University gave a formal Prom at the Howard University new dining hall last Friday. All the girls came doldup in upstairs rooms, and were immaculate in their tux and slicked down with bear grease. During the intermission, two blondes gave a vocal demonstration, and made every effort to please the guests. The guest was NICE and closed at 12 o'clock. Kappa Alpha Psi These boys cave a dance at their Club House. 4th and T streets last Friday night. Nothing out of the ordinary happened—they all bumped on until the next hours. Basketball Howard beat the Vets Thursday night at the Howard Gym. The place was jammed and the Howard only won in the five minute extra period. No spectacular plays were recorded. Howard warm up Saturday night; however, and trounced the Blue Jackets by 10 points. The game was fast and very good, and made every one sit up and take notice. The place was packed and dammed, and the boys were just aided. We await the Moorhouse game tonight with keen anticipation. The Mockin Bird The Omega is still going to be home and have already started rehearsals. Will Marion Cook, our peer of musical directors, is to be in the city for about a month visiting his son, Mercer Cork, and will direct his sister, Katie, and two boys to real, live he-men with melodious voices, and I hope they will not insist upon only warbling for Washington audiences. Well, Lollipop, I know you have been reading the papers, and see that things are getting very warm in the house. I have a brother to sit up and take notice; for after all the agitation of mass meetings, and rallies dies down about our rights, segregation, discrimination, and the fact that the ballot is our one hope, let me tell you, the brother should wake up. Perry W. Howard, republican national committee from Mississippi, and Ben Davis, ditto from Georgia, are fighting for Hoover and a place in the sun for us, and of course their selected candidate is Hoover, but a little bird told me that the Old Guard has no intention of giving him a nomination. Somehow I hate to see Hoover being endorsed by our leaders, because that will not play with the brother. Bob Church does not have the honor of being national committee man from Tennessee, but he is the man who knows he is one of the Four Horsemen who go to the Republican National Convention in Kansas City. Melvin J. Chium, efficiency expert at the University of Iowa, large" is fighting for Lowden, and is touring the South. Those silent members of the "Black Cabinet" who are prominent leaders in the state are sitting steady in the boat. are Dr. Emmett J. Scott, the Honorable Arthur G. Free, His Honor James A. Cobb and Dean Kelly Miller, and they are presenting their moment's notice for the surf is going to be rough. Dr. Robert Russa Moton was in the city for a couple of days last week, and I hear he spent an hour complying with the friday, apparently discussing the flood situation. I imagine, though, a lot of politics were thrown in. And now, my dear colleague, a flip of his hat, a collision whether I go to see Gloria Swanson in Sadie Thompson, or bury my head in Emil Ludwik's book. Genius and Character. Flip! -Gloria wins.

The largest of its kind in the country. Mr. Reid is a violin-maker by trade, and he has inaugurated the method of selling by phone. Customers call and they may hear one or a phone and they may hear one or a dozen photograph records played. The ones they like they can have by phone and they may hear one or a mail. The phone company laughed when Mr. Reid purposed his novel method, but while an APRO man stood talking with him, he received three calls to hear records over the phone. One of the four clerks found the records desired, moved a machine close to the telephone mouthpiece in a booth and the customer at home. A stationery store and men's furnishings store are associated enterprises. Asked what he was the basis of his business, unfailing cheerfulness and an eagerness to please customers. We've done more business this January than last. Mr. Reid took first prize last year, in a competition sponsored by the Washington Eagle to determine the merchant making greatest progress.

YOU ONLY WANT ME WHEN YOU'RE LONESOME. Elmo Tanner THE TELEPHONE—JUST CALL NANNIE BURROUGHS REPLIES TO L. K. WILLIAMS' ARTICLE Page Four "I FOUNDED SCHOOL" -NANNIE BURROUGHS Have Done Everything Except Plow To Keep It Going She Says WASHINGTON—Statement in week's AFRO by Dr. L. K. Williams concerning the National Training School for Girls brought reply from Principal Nannie Burroughs, Monday. Dr. Williams said the National Baptist Convention founded the school, put up the first $1000 to purchase the property, and his convention now has a right to control it through the election of trustees that Dr. Williams lacks information and regard for the truth. She asks where he was 17 years ago when she was busy starting the school. She asks where he was in "Brazos Bottoms fighting against great ideals." Who Founded It Miss Burroughs says the Convention never had $7000 at any one time to make the initial payment on the school. She first payment on the Training School property was five hundred dollars and I raised $2550.00 by direct appeal, from the platform after it was approved. The Mission Board and the Woman's Convention all day and riding on Jim Crawl cars all night to get to some little sticks place to get an appeal for the money, and I raised over two hundred dollars by appeals sent out from the office. "I give our Convention woman credit for the convention that I raise near, but two-thirds of the money I raise, comes from people who are not connected with the Women's Auxiliary, not the National Basketball Association, and many other of the Baptist denomination, and an increasing number of them not of the colored race. "But at the founding as now, the women were skeptical and apathetic." Owed $16,000 "Dr. Williams says that they are paying me. They are not doing anything of the kind; but, if he wants to control this school that is the way to start. Up to July 1st, 1927, the Trustees owed me sixteen thousand dollars and twenty-one cents (516,000.21) for salary and loans." "Furthermore, in order to build up this Institution, I have done everything except plow, and as badly as we need money just now, for other pressing obligations. I might have to do that when the time for spring plowing comes around." Convention Spent Nothing "With its tremendous obligations to three million Baptists with the greatest challenge ever offered a group of Christian leaders, with debts piling threateningly high and funds running distressingly low, and the spirit of the faithful wanting the secretaries and servants of the Boards of the National Convention treading the winepress almost alone; and several of these Boards not functioning at all, we are sick and tired of Dr. L. K. Williams making one woman the chief tople of his Annual Message and the discrediting of her contribution to the de-nomination, his major note in his Won't Be Run Out "The National Baptist Convention I helped to make. For years, worked like a galerier: for years, flooring, for years, keeping books, for years, editing books, for years, editing books, written books, raising interest in a devoted, loyal way, and I will fill it all let her. I have out of my mind for which I have done to probe up to than any woman in the world. "I think more of the National Baptist Convention than Dr. Williams. Everybody Absent "Dr. Williams claims that the National Baptist Convention is backed in with it. The best evidence is that the Convention met right within thirty years, in 1907, at the school, when it was a dedicated, and the officials did not come out, the Convention did not send a committee to them nor a contribution. Whoever heard of an organization backing an enterprise of kind and dedicate it, and being represented in any way, at the ex- World Step Out "Furthermore, if the National Bantist Convention and the Woman's Convention were to meet, let Dr. Williams and the School accord scheme. I could and would step down and out, the minute they pay me; and, I would my sleeves and work in the Convention for cause that could not be verified."

Dr. Williams went into a lengthy and critical analysis of the the organization of the Baptist church, which he also other denominations to their disparagement. Each Baptist church is a complete organization, in itself, free from any "super-overhead outside" Baptists also have no creed that keeps them together, he declared. Yet they have unity, he said, because it is inside and foundation of the Baptist church that is preached to the hearts of men and women, as asserted. He acknowledged the divinity of Jesus Christ. "He is the Son of God," he declared, "the King of things and Lord of lords." He expressed his belief in a literal interpretation of the new testament from the birth of Christ to the His crucifixion including the raising of Lazara from the dead. The world is ripe for the spread of Baptist ideals and the accommodation of "the religious system to the person to the religious system." His any remark that can in any way be interpreted as a reference to the religious system is the National Training School for Women and Girls w.s.s his statement that "whatever is created in the name of the denomination may be subdued by the denomination." At the close of his address, Miss Burroughs was invited from the audience to the platform. She was the only one she made her new way to the rostrum. Later Miss Burroughs spoke and declared that her chief concern in church affairs was the factions of the Baptist church, the Lott Caey faction, the incorporated group and the unincorporated group.

Some organizations of it may be untrue and lose the presence of their Lord, but as Christ, the head, the chief cornerstone, the church cannot fail." Thus spoke Dr. W. A. English, pastor of Sharp M. E. Church, before the A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Monday morning. Dr. English said occasionally we read of the loss power of the church and sometimes hear statements that the church "The church is now, and always has been a targes at which to show national lapses," he said. "Every day thousands of Christians break down in their faith. Lack of thought, inexperience, sudden trial or tempest, or lack of understanding on these human conductors. They do not measure up to the hopes of their own hearts even. But has Christ failed? His truth is still true. Crowds, social prestige and money. Dr. English said, are not to be taken as evidences of the church's success. Christ had a crowd, he said, when the leaves and fashes were given out, but when He began to talk of deep things, the disciples disappeared. Dr. Bragg Speaks. Dr. George F. Pierce, rector of St. James Church, declared that individuals to success, are very often stopping to speak of such individual lapses as a failure of the church. Dr. C. H.

Evil Nearly As Bad As When 'Al' Adams Was Policy King ALL RACES PLAY Lowest Bet 5c; Slip Peddler's Usual Winners NEW YORK CITY—Chief Magistrate McAdoo, white, of the Special Sessions Court, gave out last week an interview as to the extent to which "the numbers" have taken a hold on local residents. He also brought out the point that whites, as well as colored residents living in Harlem, are equally addicted. He says, "when the last two years there has been an outbreak of the gambling policy and it has grown to such an extent that conditions are almost as bad as in the days when the banker known as the Policy King'. There is no policy king at present, but so far as I can ascertain on the records of the courts and the police there are many men who the bankers and big men, the sharks. "As in former days, the disease, as it might be called, is particularly severe," Harrien, but it is most confined to them, and has its victims in all of the boroughs of the greater city, from the inner city to the outer city. I have no reason to doubt that the number of white people who play the game is equal to those of the colored races. And the corner, we will say, is a little cigar or candy store in the ostensible business of selling cigars and candy, but the game is derived from the sale of policy slips. The worst feature of the game is that it can be played from cents up. The players are enveloping in the daily returns of the Federal Reserve Bank or the Clearing House. Even where the bank is open, the fellow who peddles the slips nearly always as a rule welches on the winner." This game has grown to such an extent that the clearing area, that incinacious publishers are now selling records in book form, a sort of "dose sheet," like a past performances horse, which gives the clearing house records for years back on each day of the year.

MCCILLAN A trip through the Shenandoah Valley is resort to the very heart of nature. If heaven comes to earth anywhere, it is here. (the ap preciative) Indian gave the river its name—Shenandoah: "Daughter of the Stars"—which came to the name also of the Valley. In the Shenandoah Valley there are signs of countless years of activity—intense and varied numerous caverns, including one whose end has never been found; a natural bridge, chisel out of stibborn stone by tireless persistent wawers; a river that was watched now leaping only a quiet little stream some seventy feet beneath hills, mountains, valleys, all sorts of stone brooklets, streams, rivers, fertility, barrenness Nature has been at work for a long time in the Shenandoah. A trip through the Shenandoah Valley is a resort to the very heart of nature. If heaven comes to earth anywhere, it is here. The (apparently) only river that lives in the Shenandoah: "Daughter of the Stars"—which came to the name also of the valley. In the Shenandoah Valley there are signs of countless years of activity—intense and varied, numerous aureums, inverting into a lake, and one on a natural bridge chiselled out of stubborn stone by tireless persistent waters—waters that have vanished now, leaving only a quiet little stream some seventy feet beneath; hills mountains, valleys, all its stones, hills mountains, river fertility, long time Nature has ben at work for a long time in the Shenandoah. Valley Of Many Battles Though departing from the spirit of nature men have been very active the few years that they have lived in the valley. The quiet life but immediately upon the arrival of CIVILIZATION war commenced; within a little more than a century four major wars and numberless British SUPREMACY. The "Grave, liberty-loving American Colonists disputed with the comparatively defenseless Indians. The superior force of the more deadly weapons. And on they fought; imperialistic England against France, with the Indian as a means to an end; the revolting American Colonists against American struggle; John Brown's feat at Harper's Ferry and his fate at Charlestown; Shearidan and Jackson contended bitterly around Winchester. The town changed hands seventy odd times in the war—four times in one day. Jackson was killed in the valley. Lee died at Lexington. McMahon may have been very active the few years that they have lived in the Shenandoah. Though departing from the spirit of nature, men have been very active the few years that have followed, hunting, fishing, farming, dreaming, plenicing. But immediately upon the arrival of CIVILIZATION war commenced; within a little more than a century four major wars and numberless battles, the American SUPREMACY, the "srave" liberty-loving American Colonists disputed with the comparatively defenseless Indians. The superior force of the more deadly weapons. And on they fought: imperialistic England against France, with the Indian as a means to an end; the revolving wheel of the American struggle; John Brown's attack at Harper's Ferry and his fate at Charlestown; Sheridan and Jackson contended bitterly around Winchester. The town changed hands seventy odd times in the war—four times in one day. Jackson was killed in the valley. Lee died at Lexington. Woodrow Wilson was born at Staunton. Men fought in the wars that they have lived in the Shenandoah. Selling Nature What a strange condition one finds in the Shenandoah: at one and the same time one sees openly revealed the heart of nature—spiritual kind, generous, impartial—and the heart of civilization—materialistic, cruel, narrow, clannish. To see the marvellous cavers or the Natural Bridge it is necessary to pay the price of a good show in New York. These objects are not only beautiful but also the policy of taking from creation what was intended for the comfort and the making of all. "June may be had by the poorest corner." Nor can sunless and sunsets be fenced in by lazy money-makers. The rich symphony of the wonderful nature and Shenandoah continues in the face of all perversions. Winchester Here one finds the DOMINANT race taking all its share and practically all of ours in the name of progress. In these times the most powerful influence is its own boom. The powerful influence and the preponderance in nurbers of the opposition to freedom make John Brown still look ridiculous. Just thirty-two miles from Harper's Ferry, has about the best public high school building in Virginia for white children. Neger children have been provided with a NEW school, a new kitchen, a cooking and, a few colleges in high school. Harrisburg Harrisonburg, fifty miles south, has the only public high school in the state which is reopened. The town is now erecting a new building costing $400,000. Half of the project will be completed by the end of the year, building, crowded conditions, teachers having to teach everything, a junior high school. With a population of only seven thousand five hundred, the school will eat up all tax funds for many years. Staunton Staunton's quarter of a million high school siis the school for all children. Besides, the Negro patrons had to buy the laboratory equipment they needed, and they are denied the paying jobs in the city. Lexington Lexington has a population of three thousand and five hundred, at least a third of whom are college students. Lexington has recently completed the first public school building for Negroes in its eventful history. Seven grades are taught in the school, each room a classroom. The school is one of three elementary schools constitute the share of the ruling whites. Private white schools—Colleges and prep—are distributed from one end of the Shenandoah to the other. Swanson and Glass are having their day—their hey day. The vicious circle of igorization has negroes will remain unbroken a long time yet. Missionaries Many of the relies of anti-bolum times, physical and spiritual, are still seen in the Shenandoah Valley; a most interesting and pathetic relic is the rather large group of poor, ignorant, spiritless whites. In the town Athens, where the scores of white people who are in a far worse condition than the PRIMITIVE Indians. They care nothing about themselves, the "blooded" whites care less about them still. Caste with white bodies—surely as much justified as the rank, prejudiced in Southland in sending converts to that country. A bus had stopped at a little town up the valley, and one of the low caste whites was displaying his supply of morning papers. Some one on the outside called out, "Say, when are you going to shave?" White people, every body had a big laugh. A little later another person asked, "Why don't you shave?" The answer, "I need to do." Maybe he had shaved for Thanksgiving. Guides I met two interesting Negro guides, one at the Lee Memorial and the other at the Natural Bridge. The former is in charge at the museum and is interesting because of his intelligence and the skill of the General, his work is more than a job—although a man without much formal schooling. The guide at Natural Bridge is trained in the art of foolish reading and the lost River Cave, the Saltpeter Cave, affold but little interest in themselves. They might well be likened to attractively named side shows where the name is all. The guide in question is about the history of the Negro, they have really seen something. It was not enough for him to point out the stone on which George Washington, the surveyor, carved his initials and the name of his brother, John, the ingot was the first man to discover the bridge. Forgetting the centuries' trampines of the Indians, his simple believing class went on to learn more about American history. Many of the relics of anti-bellum times, physical and spiritual, are still seen in the Shenandoah Valley; a most interesting and pathetic story is that of a girl named Whitess whites sprites. In the very Athens of the state and South. Lexington, there are scores of white people who are in a far worse condition than the rest of the world, about themselves, the "blooded" whites care less about them. Still cast-wild India would be justified in sending missionaries into the valley—surely as much as justified as the rank, prepuce in Southland in sending converts to that country. The bus had stopped at a little town up the valley, and one of the leses low caste whites was dismayed. "What are you doing on the outside called out, 'Say, when are you going to shave?' The reply came, 'When I get ready.' Well, every body had a big laugh. 'Why don't you shave?' The answer, "I don't need to." Maybe he had shaved for Thanksgiving. Guides I met two interesting Negro guides, one at the Lee Memorial and the other at the Natural Bridge. The former is in charge at the museum and devotion to the spirit of the General. To him his work is more than a job—although a man without much formal schooling. The guide at Natural Bridge is trained in the art of fishing, the River "the Slatetower" cared, afford little interest in themselves. They might well be likened to attractively named side shows where the name is all. The guide in question is able to make many courses that that the museum has made, nor more for him to point out the stone on which George Washington, the surveyor, carved his initials and the ground, as being the indication that Washington was the first man to discover the bridge. The museum has a collection of Indians, his simple believing class went on to learn more about American history. Capitol Invited The little towns in the Shenandoah are mud in the effort to induce foreign capital to come in. Such inducements as unorganized labor, with low incomes, logging, native born whites, good schools, are published. The natural scenery of the valley is described in floods of printed matter that is sent all over the country. The people speak English above the heads of Virginians who he urged the state to agree to the Shenandoah National Park project, because the people need much of the beautiful to make their lives mean more. The people suffer with the money for whom these efforts are made, and not the native who is always in the midst of a veritable Garden of Eden. They merely a figure in Genesis' Eden may yet become a literal fact in Virginia's Shenandoah: because bad things go on in this region of free choice.

Bible Not An Elinor Glynn Love Story And This Writer Thinks Mr. Blair Might Make Better Use Of His Writing Ability. To the Editor: I have been reading with much interest the so-called Bible conditions by Mr. I. C. Blair. I should think that he might use his time to far more advantage than trying to reduce the influence of the Bible. Regardless of the so-called self-conceptions he never been able to overcome, anyone might mislead Mr. Blair's attempt to bumble the minds of those who are struggling to find the light in the darkness. The Bible is not an Elinor Glynn love story, and if it is not studied and interpreted in a spiritual sense, it cannot be wholly understood. I would suggest that Mr. Blair use his abilities and politics or worldly amusement, but keep off the Bible, for God's words are "quick and powerful and sharper than any two sword." Bible Not An Elinor Glynn Love Story And This Writer Thinks Mr. Blair Might Make Better Use Of His Writing Ability. To the Editor:— I have been reading with much interest the so-called Biblical contradictions by Mr. J. C. Blair. I should think that he might use his time to far more advantage than trying to reduce the influence of the Bible. Regardless of the so-called self-contradictions, it has never been the real cause of anyone being misled. Mr. Blair's attempt to benumb the minds of those who are struggling to find the light of righteousness is both selfish and shallow. The Bible is not an Elinor Glynn love story and, if it is not studied and interpreted in a spiritual sense, it cannot be wholly understood.

But Won't The South Nullify Such Uniform Marriage And Divorce Law As Senator Curtis Proposes Just As It Has The 14th And 15th Amendments? To the question Senator Curtis, of Presidential aspirations, proposes uniform marriage and divorce laws. In all the southern states, and some of the northern, there are statutes forbidding intermarriage of whites and Negroes. Such statutes are not particularly different from the of the amorous Caucasian who is not averse by any means, to have a nocturnal affair d'une with a woman slightly different ethnologically. The thousands of mutilates present evidence that the father is able to evade the mother. Now, there is nothing particularly wrong in that except for the fact that the poor mother and, even more so, the children have to suffer because the father is able to evade the mother. Now, well and good, the proposed to outlaw such statutes, thus providing means whereby the white culprit can be forced to marry and support any woman that he outrages, then, well and good, the mother. Given that the legislation of the Congress will be considered mandatory? Will not those who oppose certain sections find ways of nullification? Most assuredly, there is no pretense of observing the fourteenth and the fifteenth amendments in His Hat Off To Hefflin Whose Chief Fame Is Hes From The Tuskegee Institute District of Alabama And Shot A Colored Man On A Street Car. To the Editor: Hefflin has resumed his routine denunciation of Governor Smith and the Roman Church. To our surprise the democratic party in the Senate has been thrown into a panic. Such advocates of human rights and exponents of the right to vote has caused cas and Glass of Virginia have become suddenly shocked by the religious bigotry of the senator from Alabama although for twenty years Mr. Hefflin's record has been an open one. He has been characterized by such service as he has rendered the democratic party. Indeed Mr. Hefflin was merely a typical backwoodsman chiefly known for being the representative of the shot Negro in a Washington street car and won undying fame from the very many men who now rise to repudiate him. It was largely on such a record that Mr. Hefflin was elevated by his state to his present seat in the Senate. When will the white press, also alarmed, learn to attach the same importance to all racial attacks and place the same emphasis on all reactions to the assault, we glory in the democratic discourse. We glory and the fox our favor is with the lion always. Article Concerning Union Baptist Church Pained This Reader Who Terms Situation There A Tragedy. The Editor: It was with a heavy heart that I read your article concerning Union Baptist Church. Perhaps to some it may be amusing but to the faithful followers of Dr. Harvey Johnson, it is a tragedy, to think of a work of fifty years torn asunder in a few months. I have been told that I am not for progress. Progress is just what I want and Dr. Johnson left us free of debt so that we could progress and do something for the benefit of mankind. Dr. David E. Over told us when he came here that he had prayed to God to send some one to Baltimore to save the girls and boys of Baltimore. He seemed so zealous to do the work that he claimed God wanted done, said he was willing to go in the by ways and hedges, willing to preach in the streets, and said we need not be surprised if we saw him doing so. And I want to know why he has not done the thing God sent him here to do, and gather the harvest of souls and filled the church. If he had done this we would be ready for the great expansion he dreams of. Dr. Johnson left his memorial not in those stones on Druid Hill Avenue, but in the lawyers, doctors, teachers and women and men in other walks of life that are trying to live clean lives. I am not against the move merely for sentiment. I am against the move because we do not want to pay for an antique castle on Madison avenue is about a rest room, kitchen, dining room and dishes. We do not go to chicureo. We do not go to chicureo. If we had stayed out of debt we would not need to be in the kitchen and dining room all the time. It is much cheaper to buy a pay for and remodel an eighty foot church. Contradictions In The Bible Prove Its Authenticity And The Humanness Of The Various Men Who Wrote It. To Editor. Prove it. Mr Blair attempting to prove or disprove by amassing such an array of facts and apparent contradictions as he claims are found in the Bible? Contradictions prove? If anything they certainly help to prove the authenticity of the Bible and the humanness of the writers. An inspired Bible from a spiritual standpoint. The Bible is not a spiritual standpoint does not necessarily mean inflatable dates, memories and language on the part of the authors. A book that has gone through as many translations, in equally as many languages, is not necessarily mean inflatable the Bible, would not compare favorably with it. Our friend out to differentiate at least between history, biography, auto-biography, direct and indirect quotations, lyrics and narratives. We cannot compare written by many authors over a period of several centuries.Literal contradictions why of course? What has that to do with the spiritual message? The Bible is an oriental book. Some of its messages are not easily understandable. A charismatic mind of the accident cannot yet understand or even appreciate the Mystic of the East: Mahatma Gandhi and his passive-resistance program is still a type of Eastern mysticism yet understood by the materialistic Westerner. Now, unceremoniously Brother Blair selects a verse from Levicitus and one from Joel in order to ordain slavery, and then quotes Isaiah, "And I will send you to the land of all this is done with utter disrespect to historical background, setting of the story, and the circumstances and conditions under which it is written. A representative of the intelligentia! ! Heres a verse from the academic attack upon the Bible? Even H. L. Mencken or Haldeman-Julius would be faster than Broth-r. Blair. NEVAL H. THOMAS. Washington.

The other day they sentenced a woman to serve from 10 to 20 years in the penitentiary for murder. We understand John was sentenced by one judge, but had he been sentenced to serve sure he had gotten double life. --- Imagine, if 'you please, twelve jurors, tried and true, all trying to pronounce Kwaii55,75&' name at one time. They would at least have been slaughtered at a court slaughter against poor old John. The strain on larynx, tonsils, epiglottis, et al., would have been more than the peers have stood. And then being instructed to return a verdict of guilt, might, while engaged in such strenuous labial acrobatics, twist his scandal flipper into a fist, and then benefit the benefit of the doubt and go scot free, as they say in Scotland. Take the case of Ralph Matthews rioting fritz, he of the euphonious momentature, to say the least. Why old Snoozie, as if affectionately call him, told me from his own mouth that the day he discovered the name on him, the old man caught a boat for Singapore,—and he bought a one-way ticket too. And there's the instance of Alonzauge Whippershooogle, brilliant young printers, design by A. C. Bunting, which in brief is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Babies at Christenings, said society to be envious of the work of a gentley of handicapping children with such bogus titles. *** By the way, it's probable that our good friend John Kw$^a&F^c$ who was sentenced to serve from 10 to 20 years to wearing a suit whose collar was bumped off the old man for the dirty trick he played on him. You couldn't much blame the boy, could you? *** But after all what's a name between friends? A boob by any other name would be just as dumb. Pond would be the search of a title for their spring-offs. Consider, if you so be pleased, Kate and Duplicate, or better yet, Peter. Your parents both are their parents' pride and joy. We found Mr. White, of a complexion akin to stylian velvet, and we found Mr. Coward to be a publicistic terror. That of course, he was a swindler as ever wrapped up a gold brick or that Mr. Wise was so dumb that he thought a tennis racket was a squabble? Names, after all, are only things that you are called, or are called at you, mostly at you. You know, they say that your ears burn, somebody's talking about you. Probably they hear you talk, but auditory organs a. w. o. l. wouldn't that burn your car drums? No wonder old Mark Anthony wanted those Romans to lend him their ears. They're been talking to him. didn't let anyone tell you differently. --- And speaking of names, these are not only the atrocious appellations affixed to mortal beings but there are those coerced upon them and intimidated by Pullman cars, for example. We've always entertained a suspicion (no Scotchman would even do that) that the nammers of Pullman cars had imbibed just a little already before engaging in their dirty work. They get paid for it too—wherein if they put those names up for prudence they would be locked up for prudency. The nammers of ships atone for it by smashing a jug of hooch against the sides of the vessel. One ambitious father tried this on his spinnaker, but they would have found out what it's all about. You know they used to say it's a wise child that knows his own father, or something like that, but they have found out certain changes in his name, you may well say it's a wise parent that knows his own child. No foolin'. Who knows good old Sue after she becomes consecutively Suzanne, Sussay, Susye and Sizee? And it just happens that she will always appear Claudius and later Cloyde. And it just happens that in Baltimore there are a lot of people interested in her suit and brass buttons acclaim them minions of the Commonwealth. Folks are always changing names with them. “What’s your Christian name?” asks the law of a hardened sinner. Such irony. Nowadays you can’t wear your own paraphrase pick your teeth. view of this I’m going to advocate a law whereby children will be known by numbers until old enough to choose a name that will decrease our quota of crime.

JONES Watching The World Go By 25 Years If, like this writer, you have had the opportunity to watch this old world of ours go by for 25 years you have seen and witnessed some marvelous things. At last 25 years, for instance, came Halley's comet out of the unfathomable regions of the universe. Traveling at the rate of several hundred miles each day, Halley's comet exhibits its splendor and then start- ed back on a 72 year trip. For the last 20 years it has been travel- ing at this enormous speed in curved space. Just a little section of the universe. Thinking of distances in this big scale ought to make young men and women think bigger thoughts. It should also settle the question of what ever being guides the course of Halley's comet on its 72 year hundreds of miles a minute trip thru the ether as well as to millet the millions of stars all the miles of stars and worlds. SHOULD SUTT ANYBODY'S IDEA OF A GOD. Then those who can look back 25 years can recall towns at that time in which there was no automobiles there, all the miles of blocks in any American city where an automobile does not park. Flying machines, radios and movies have all come into existence during the last 25 years. But if science has added to comfort on this terrestrial sphere, human relations have also changed greatly. Just 22 years ago this writer saw a South Carolina governor leave a lynching motif to his office after he had addresses the men in an effort to prevent it and go calmly back to his mansion office. Thanks to men in this nation, he was in this nation, THAT COULD NOT HAPPEN TODAY. 25 years from now lynchers will be given full punishment for the murder of men 25 years ago in Russia, Germany, England, and many other countries held life and death power over human beings as privileged groups. Inhabitants worked in virtual slavery to provide luxuries and ease for those who regarded themselves as privileged groups. He found a poorasant worker sitting where Russia's great Czar once ruled their mighty domain. German socialist, president; England's King taking orders from a self-made man who rose from the ranks of the workers in the submerged masses. Colored races in India, Africa, China and Egypt dispute the pre-1990 status of white men and women themselves are fighting for the equality of opportunity for all human beings in greater propor Following science and economic expansion are coming also deep seated social changes. In 1960, a Booker T. Washington dining with a president was not only 'front page news,' but the news, which made rich Americans with marriageable daughters flock to Europe to mate them with "their betters" is now regarded as the most important five years ago there were more social relationship between white and colored folk, but under cover. Today a white man in a colored girl married a colored girl and a white girl with lineage running back to the Mayflower marries a colored youth, and the girl is even down South feel a thrill of suppressed heroism. So that despite the many conflicts between right and left, human injustice; despite the selfishness of entrenched privilege and lingering prejudices, this old world is moving along very well, If you survey the progress of the world, you see similar changes during the next quarter century, you have no confidence that fate brought you into existence. The association for the advancement of Negro Country Life is organizing a farm and home owning association. The property acquisitions will be stressed throughout the country. If this movement will tend to challenge the ground floor interest in American economic life it will be worth the time and energy every man and woman must pay to other farm sections of the country. The latest U. S. census reports show that the race group is losing hold on farm lands throughout the South and making no compensation for other farm sections of the country. Migration has done some mighty good things for the group, especially when it can get the best advantages. But it has also decreased farm ownership and this is no good for the group. Georgia alone it is estimated that we have lost 5000 farms during the last ten years. Down in South Carolina where the $300 million investment in law stimulated farm buying 25 years ago, the race group at one time owned more farms than it now holds, have greatly fallen off. Many of our farmers are now in the industrial centers of the North where the high price of land will prevent them buying much of it But while general encouragement, to acquire and keep farm land, is really needed is a scientifically arrived at economic program for the group. Negro group, like all other groups, should have title to enough farm land in this country as to make its absolutely certain that land should be enough to land enough produce to meet the actual necessities of life, plus enough to produce a wealth accumulated. If the Association for the Advancement of Country Life could tell the group (1) what acreage they should own to reach an economic efficiency; and (3) furnish up to date information where it is best to acquire it, they would do a great deal. This knowledge should be followed by marshaling sufficient big insurance companies and race savings to finance farm land buy- Human Relations Have Also Changed Social Customs Following In Wake Farm And Home Ownership Week Farm And Home Ownership Week - ing on a large scale and community programs which would help distribute farm labor where it was best to be. - If the Jewish race after years of struggle in all parts of the card and after having acquired culture and wealth of proportion to their population, for it from regions have found at this late date that firm ownership of land is the at the each are spending million dollars in back portance of land ownership in the Negro should realize, the in-to the land movement, certainly in trav- for trav- Highway Robbery In South Carolina And Nobody Is Arrested For It (From "S.

Hope of the state department of education. The average pay for Negro teachers employed, divided as follows: White men, 1,290; white women, 7,400; Negro teachers, 8,581; White pupils made a better for regular attendance than Negro. The former had an average attendance of 73.68 percent out of an enrollment of 115.23 Negro pupils enrolled averaged attendance was 69.18 percent. White schools had an average session of 171 days, as compared with 115 for Negro schools. On the basis of enrollment the per capita expenditure was 800.25 in white schools and 800.25 in negro schools. Taking attendance as basis, the average expenditure were 891.78 in white schools and 110.68 in negro. The average attendance for both races was 337.421 out of a total enrollment of 471.701. The white attendance was 181.838 out of 246.587 and the Negro was 155.523 out of 242.873. Both groups enrolled with an average of 91.911 attending: white girls on the roll totaled 122.714, while 89.958 were regular in attendance. Of the Negro students, 86.84 out of 101.790, and for Negro girls, 86.759 out of 123.633. The Diary Of An Old Baltimorean The Diary Of An Old Baltimorean BY WALTER L. REEVES JR.

EARS, MIND CLOSED HE DECLARES Applause HAMPTON, V.A., (By Wire By Allen Doggett) Characterizing him as "a maker of music for all the world" Douglass Gordon, white, editor of the Norfolk Ledger Dispatch in a stirring meeting in Ogden Hall presented Dr. Nathaniel Dett, Director of the School of Music at Hampton Institute with the Harmon Award of four hundred dollars and gold medal for creative achievement in music. Mr. Gordon indicated the changing attitude toward the Negro of the middle younger white people of the South through stories of his own contact as music critic and editor. He said, "I am young enough to know that we have changed. I am young enough to know that most of the white people in Virginia and here in the South generally know almost nothing of the vast problem with which we of the South are supposed to be most familiar. In Richard not long ago I heard a white man say, why don't the people of the North use us alone? We are the only people who understand the Negro people." "That man knows the Negro that I know as a little boy. He does not know the Negro I know now. He knows only the servile Negro. But what does he know of Countee Cullen, James Weldon Johnson, Henry O Tanner, Ethel Waters, Nathaniel Dew?" "He knows less and he is flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood than men in any other section of the United States and I have known that for about five years. I know the truth and the truth has made me free." We in Virginia and of the South in general have closed our eyes, have closed our ears, have even closed our minds I fear.

"Most of us grow up with the feeling that the Negor is not susceptible to musical education. We thought such music as 'the Negor had or could attain must be a gift of God. Then I began to sing the music of Coleridge-Taylor, the music of Burleigh, and then the poems of Dunbar. Then I heard Roland Hayes. I heard the ubiquitous whistler Dr. Dedd a d training and was training. Then knew the truth and the truth was beginning to mak me free. I heard Dr. Dett play. I heard his compositions, and my mind blushed with the density of my ignorance. I know that the music of the School Negor is not Negor music, it is universal music." Dr. Delt Replies Dett Rehmes In responding to the address of Mr. Gordon and accepting the award Dr. Dett said, "I stand here I regret to say apart from you today. I have a feeling of regret because it seems to me in my fifteen years at Hampton we haev always gone together. So I hope you all feel with me that if I receive, you also receive, as we always have shared together. It is because you have achieved that I have achieved. "I am happy to receive these honors because manlike I glory in any honor which comes to my family, to my race and to this great institution I have tried to serve." Dr. Dett then spoke intimately to his students in the audience calling to their attention the years of hard work back of perfection in the voice of Roland Hayes, or in the John plonging of Mr. Douglas, of which public performance is but manifestation. At this point the spoke of his mother in the audience who had traveled from Ontario, Canada for the occasion. She was assisted to the platform amidst tremendous applause. Mr. Dett said, "Fathers will understand something of my feeling but only mothers will understand fully." She congratulated her and staved the platform during the presentation of a wreath of roses from the Hampton Institute chair presented by Mercer Bratcher, soloist of the organization.

"The Rose of the Golden West." featuring Mary Astor and Gilbert Roland. is the picture you will want to see next week at the Regent Theater. There will be other Pathe News features, comics, photo-colo reel and the music of Isaiah Tinnipson's 13 piece orchestra for entertainment but the real thrill will come from the big picture which shows dramatically how the United States won California 61 years ago. There will be Spanish costumes of both men and women to intrigue the younger folk and the women will wonder how the hundreds of bobbed head girls who play the part of senoras in the cast are able to keep Spanish combs a foot high in their hair. Some 3,500 persons are used in the cast, one of the largest in recent years. Historically, California once belonged to Mexico. General Fremont, an American, aided by a few hundred men seized California and declared it a separate republic, from Spanish grandees, of noblemen, later petitioning that it be taken into the union of the states. This was done in 1850, the year after gold was discovered. "Rose of the Golden West." pictures the romantic events surrounding the plotting and counter-plotting of the times. "The Rose of the Golden West. is going to be THE PICTURE of next week. I want to advise you in advance not to miss it. "HEAVEN ON EARTH" "Heaven On Earth," a film of heart throbs featuring Renee Adoree and Conrad Nagel, is second best bet at the Regent next week. The picture shows that parental supervision and love should be the greatest force in the life of a young man, but it also can be made a yoke which kills whatever talent and thoughts a boy may have. The hero, Edmund Durand, whose life has been mapped out for him from the time of his birth, finds himself at 26 in control of mills, the world's most unhappy man. He had had any fun in his lift, his aunt had always kept on his coat tails and now he must marry a pretty girl but not particularly intelligent. Then comes the war and after peace comes the hero and his new beloved finds their "Heaven On Earth." as vagabonds in a gypsy wagon. "THE FAIR CO-ED" Marion Davies, in "The Fair Co-Ed." will be the third best bet at the Regent next week. Students of Morgan College and Douglass High School will have a chance to see a real co-ed play basketball making an almost impossible shot in order to win a game for her team. Men will have a chance to see Johnny Mack Brown former Alabama star half back on Walter Coyle's all-American football team in 1975. Another athlete in this picture is Lillian Hoffman, an all basketball player and the world's record holder for putting the shot, hurling the discus and javelin. She has defended her title for three years against all other women athletes, and half a dozen other college captains of football teams in the roster. From the will, she will wear some dresses. They will be four inches longer than the skirts worn in "Tillie the Toiler." Her bob is less extreme. she wears flat heels on her slippers and skirts are ultra smart. There will be 1,444 college boys and girls in the film. Royal Theater "Sorrell And Son" "Sorrell and Son," the long waited screen version of the novel by Warwick Deeping, English author, comes to the Royal for a week's stay beginning Monday. The story is that of a British war veteran whose wife deserts him and his six-year old son when the exsoldier is no longer able to satisfy whims. Broken in health, he struggles against ingratitude, poverty, vice and physical exhaustion in order to educate his son. In this country alone, although the novel has a British locals and English characters, 150,000 copies of "Sorrell and Son" were sold during 1927. The members of the United Artists company traveled 6445 miles from Hollywood to England in order to do most of the filming on the scenes described in the book. Mr. Deeping, the author, assisted Herbert Brennon in making the pho- topics. H. B. Warner plays therole of Sorrell, while Mickey McBan. 11-year old youngster, is the son. Mickey had his film debut in "Peter Pan" and has been seen since in "The Return of Peter Grimm" and "Beau Geste." Public school pupils will find something of interest in this "regular kid." a devotee of swimming and fishing. The lad has won five medals in water contests. Carmel Myers protrays the character of Flo Palrefey, an inn keeper. She forces Sorrell to work long and weary hours, and taunts him with a pince de lighter work if he will yield to her infatuation for him. The faithless and pleasure loving Mrs. Sorrell is acted by Anna Q. Nilsson. After deserting the war stricken husband she marries a wealthy war profiteer and tries to lure her son, Kit Sorrell, away from the sacrificing father. Louis Wolheim, known as one of the "hardest boiled" actors in screendom, is shown as Sergeant-Major Buck, who later becomes boss of Sorrrell when the two air porters in the pen. Wolheim, however, is the reverse in his real life. He was an instructor in mathematics at Cornell before becoming an actor. "The Hairy Ape" was his first acting venture. He won fame in "What Price Glory" as the original Captain Flarg and repeated this success in the screen version. screen One of the bits of realism in "Sorrell and Son" is a wedding in an old English church by an ordained minister, the uncle of Director Berrnon. The Rev. William Brennon is 76 years old and only by persuasion was he induced to take his boy before the camera.

"What Price Glory," the war pic which was filmed by the Fox Corporation following its enthusiastic reception on the stage, comes to the Dunbar Monday for a stay of two days. Clearly revealing the horrors and the desolation of the World War, this drama in which more than 5,000 actors take part, is tinged enough with humor to relieve one from its more harsh aspect. The film was adapted from the stage play by Lawrence Stallings and Maxwell Anderson. The scenes open with Louis Wolhain in the role of a hard boiled captain of the American doughbys. Flagg depicts the machine-like human who knows nothing but obedience to orders. Edmund Lowe is shown as a sergeant under Flagg, and his superior officer's rival for the hand of a Dolores Del Rio, who is cast as French girl. The big guns of the German and American forces are shown in action. Flagg is seen taking his boys over the top, leading them into the fight until "they whine like whipped dogs" as one officer phrases the situation. Flagg and his sergeant go through a campaign hating each other because of love for woman, but bound inseparably by love for America. Upon returning for a leave, wounded and reeking with the dirt and vermin of the trenches, they face the real fight of the drama; that of winning the simple peasant girl "What Price Glory" has been listed among the ten best photoplayings of 1027. Critics have also given it high rating as a historical drama. The Fox production was directed by Raoul Walsh. The Dunbar management has secured two other big features for the week of February 27. St. Francisco, a Varner Brothers production, starring Dolores Costello, is centered about the vice and corruption of the days when Frisco was the Paris of America. Dolores is in the role of the daughter, of an old Spanish don, Hernan- --- Dunbar dez Vasquez. Out of Chinatown comes the "boss," Chris Buckwell who kills her father and forces his attentions upon the girl. The great fire and earthquake of 1906 form one of the impressive spectacles in the film. The costumes will give the ladies an idea of what their sex wore out in the west in the old days. The cast includes Warner Oland William Demarest, John Miljan, Josef Swickard, and Anders Randolf. Star Theatre Ken Maynard and Dorothy Devore are stars in "Senor Daredevil" a great western picture which is the feature at the Satr Theater next week. Included in the picture play cast is Maynard's cream colored horse, "Tarzan" with a white mane and tail. Speaking of horses, Ken Maynard says, "Training a horse is very much like training a child. You can't spank a horse, but there are other ways of punishing a horse without physical measures." "Tarzan." he says, "is a pal of mine. By the use of apples and carrots I have taught him a half a hundred tricks and there is no limit to what I can teach him yet." Maynard is one of the foremost roughriders of the world and his athletic training makes possible the breath-taking stunts he does in this picture. "The Sea Tiger." "The Sea Tiger." featuring Milton Sills and Alice White is one of the big pictures of the year. A tremendous storm at sea, a fight between Sills and a professional strong man, the love of Sills and his brother for a pretty girl all go to give this picture a great kick. Carey Theater "The Crystal Cup," a First National Picture with Jack Mullhall and Dorothy Mackaall as stars, and an FBO dog picture entitled, "Breed of Courage," will be the features of the Page Seven MPTON Carey Theater next week. Ranger has been the dog star of many animal pictures, but in "Breed of Courage", he is supported by two new faces on the screen, Nitcha-moose, the charming lady dog and Ogoma, a villianous looking "heavy" dog. Nitcha-moose, the lady dog heroine was chosen for her lovable disposition and gentle ways, and Ogoma is a real rough neck. He plays hard and cruel only lacking the black whiskers and mustache of the drama villian. If you like animals, see the "Breed of Courage." Lafayette "Old San Francisco." The terrible vengeance taken by the Chinese upon one of their race who betray them is vividly portrayed in "Old San Francisco," the feature photoplay coming to the Lafayette Theatre here Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Warner Oland does a skillful characterization of a Chinese who disguises himself as a white man and becomes the underground ruler of San Francisco's Chinatown in the Dolores Costello, in the role of a days before the great fire of 1906. Spanish donna, the last of a long line of proud Castillans. In those days men carried swords and made frequent use of them. Dolores father, an aged nobleman, is seen meeting his death in a duel with the Celestial boss, defense of his daughter. The enchauche which destroyed the old city and gave rise to the New San Francisco forms one of the striking incidents in the climax. Alan Crossland directed "Old San Francisco." The story is by Darryl Francis Zanuck. The last two days of the week will bring two western thrillers to the Lafayette screen. Bob Reeves will be shown in "The Silent Hero" on Friday. Jack Perrin takes the lead in Saturday's feature, "Skedaddle Gold." 5 PARIS THEATRE CROWDED A MONTH FOR "JO" BAKER FILM MONDAY—TUESDAY—WEDNESDAY Page Eight "SIREN OF TROPICS" IS 'JO' BAKER FILM "SIREN OF TROPICS" IS 'JO' BAKER FILM Picture Has Been Showing Day And Night To Crowds At Paris Blvd. House 'JO' STILL SINGLE Application For Passport Says She Has No Hubby PARIS (Special to the AFRO)—While the Austrian Parliament is deciding this week whether Josephine later will perform in Vienna or other Austrian cities, the American dancer and comedienne is winning new honors on the screen here in "Siren of the Tropies," a film in which she is starred. The photoplay has been showing at the Aubert Palace on the Grand Boulevard for the past month and keeps the place crowded day and night. The play, a rather conventional one showing a native girl falling hopelessly in love with a white man, was written by Maurice Dekobra, one of France's most popular The Story The story relates how the Marquis of Severe, gay sportsman and a proprietor of lands in the West Indies, immortal this adopted daughter. The wife objects and tells him of the love of the daughter for a young engineer in the employ of the Marquis of Severe, the heir to his West Indian lands, to prospects for minerals. There he (Berval) meets Papion (Josephine Baker) a daughter. The girl falls in love with Berval and even takes passage to France as a nurse in order to be near the marquis. The girl fails to do native dances in a great music hall. She accepts only because she hopes Berval will be in the crowds, leaving the performance because her lover is not there. The proprietors are alarmed and secure the services of the Marquis with the hope that he have Berval come to the city. The nobleman takes the girl to the home and announces her as a visitor. When she and Berval entreat him to leave, he proposes his prospective son-in-law. At the time of the duel Berval shoots into the air but the girl, hidden in a tree, kills the Marquis. She then goes to a music hall work with repressed effort. "Count" In Cast Miss Baker dispairs herself as a frolicsome maiden, doing the dances with the naturalism which characterized her work. Many other race people take part in the film. Appearing as the music hall manager is Signor Albertini, the "count" to whom she bakes, her best friend last year. The star is single, however, according to her declaration, for she stated this much in applying for her passport at the American consulate before leaving for Austrians Debating The American girl, who rose from obscurity to the leading music hall artist of Paris, is being guarded by a demonstration against "Johnnie", a jazz opera which caused a near riot there before the star's arrival. The piece showed an African in a leading role proclaiming the victory of the band, assisted him. Austrian students rebuked the audience for applauding the actor by tossing stench, smoke and sneezing bombs from the balcony. A group of Budapest promoters has also offered the actor a month's enagement with the art company 4000 businesses. Disposition of her case will be made during the sessions of the Parliament this week. White Stars To Replace 'Jo' Baker In Paris PARIS—Josephine Baker's place in the Moulin Rouge will be unveiled by Bille, American white sister team, according to advises. Call VE rnon 6016 THINGS THEATRICAL By OBIE McCOLLUM Throwing Away A Stage Art Two weeks ago the 'Pittsburgh Guard came up suddenly, criticized the race stage for the blackface humor which constitutes a large part of every revue, musical or whatnot. Declar- ation of the verses of the comedies namely chicken stealing, superstition, ignorance, were no index to the race, he declared that they should be discarded and entertainment more representative of the group substi- tutes. White Man's View The dramatic editor of the New York Daily Mirror, white, in a collar with a black bow, presented a different attitude toward the travesty on dark folk. According to the writer, George Le Maire and his wife, Marjorie, have seized almost fabulous sums for their initiative droolery, have just opened for 20 weeks on one of the country's largest banks, and have insured weekly income from their "clowing" record, "Black Jacks". The writer passes his opinion upon the children, "Some day wise parents will teach their children to apply burn cook properly and tell gags in presidents' meetings, bank officials, doctors and lawyers out of them." Few Artists There aer a few actors who have refined the work of blackface until it has become an art form, they then to command big offers from the Schuberts and other producing companies than can well pay for the work of respect of the general public because of superior training and generally casting their lot with the "upper crust." Andrew K. Roberts, another individual who has taken a role so ridiculous that few will accept it and has made himself an enthusiast. While the gradual discard of many the burlesqued themes which arose from slaves from the Caribbean out, there is certainly danger in following out the editor's suggestion and beginning anew. The present trend of the blackface films will remain for awhile. Variety? Yes, but the raw material that we have thrown away will certainly be polished and utilized by the other group. S. R. O.

GRAND After an absence of a couple months the Grand gives its patrons a real snappy revue headed by Dusty Perkins. The "Harlem Strutters" although not elaborate is full of laughs and has a chorus of live performers. **VERONA** My old pal Lou is shaping together a revue to be billed as the "Jolly Mixers" which opens at the Monogram. With the gang besides Vernon are Emma Richardson. Noah Robinson, George Vinson. Pearl Lee. John Ella Gaye. Hurlock. Lou Lee. Ebb Evans. James Johnson is musical director. Watch out for further developments and contemplated changes. The million dollar palace erected at 47th street and State Parkway next to the elaborate Savoy Ballroom has done much to make this section of the city a bright lights, a source of employment and a target for the knockers. Nowhere in the country will we find a house to equal the Regal. The newspapers, magazines and other periodicals aer satisfied with the move made by Lubliner and Trinz, each receiving a goodly share of the a goodly share of the patrons have expressed satisfaction with the theatre and its shows. The theatre was opened the theatre were satisfied with the wonderful ovation. Dave Peyton, although a little late on opening day was satisfied with the orchestra received and Sammy Williams, organist, although satisfied, would have felt better had the audience joined in and sang his melodies Dissatisfied In the street, barber shops and hotel lobbies we hear asked: "Have you visited the new theatre?" If the answer is how how how we like "Fess" Williams. This question is being asked so much that I became a little skeptical as to Chicagoans really accepting "Fess". A goodly portion of the lobbies have accepted this leader, declaring that he is of the "Uncle Tom" type. We hear every where, "Do you like Fess? He does not do the race justice with his uncle." Chicagoans are not pitted enough. He is a wonderful musician but no talker or director." ERSKINE TATE Quite a few have expressed a desire at the Vendome leading this orchestra with King Jones as master of ceremonies. Jones, although not as widely known as Tate, is well known and known in Dumieland and numerous other cafes. All that is necessary to give Jones the name of a party to be introduced or a song to be plugged and the boy does his stuff in rhymes. Blanch recently spent a few days in Baltimore, at which time she aimed an article at nudity on the stage, wearing a costume that she could easily get into her vanity case. **TINY PARHAM** Tiny, parham and pianist, with Cliff Jones' *Dreamland Serenaders*, has a splendid program laid out that is bringing the big promoters from the loop out South to the stage. This group although only a month old is said to be the equal of any orchestra in the city. The old same-day band was busy writing new material to be featured exclusively by them. **MANAGER** Manager and owner Glasser of the Plantation Cafe was sentenced to 10 years last week on a year old charge. Glasser was accused of attacking a 14-year-old. **The Plantation** is one of the 12 night clubs recently ordered closed by the prohibition authority. **MUSICIAN DIES** John Haire, familiarly known as "Pop" Haire, tuba player with Erskine Tate's Vendome Symcapitors, died suddenly in a taxi cab on Mon- Hare and other members of the groun had gone to the Savoy Ballroom, where he became ill. After several futile attempts to get a physician Jerome Carrington and Jimmy Bristol got the man into a cab and drove to Providence Hospital where he died enroute. The musicians felt the shock so keenly that they were unable to work. He was arranging to give a floral design.

NEW YORK——"Meek Mose," a simple drama which marks the initial tempt of Lester Walton and a repertory group to establish a race theatre, met with cuffs and caresses from the "feeble and faltering" chief man who took the Bible literally and tried to live by its creed. The Plot The action is laid in Mexia, Texas, where a colony has been evicted by a lot of greedy whites. "Meek Mom," a sort of religious funia, finds refuge in swamp country and there illness and pestilence begin their ravages. But the girl's favorite is his favorite bestiature, "Blessed are the meek." His followers by this time have become skeptical and conditions are being found in the swamp country of prosperity and a jubilee celebration. Praises Laura Bowman Alexander Woolcott, white of the New York World, said in part of the premiere on Monday week: "Mr. Wilson's play seemed to me awkward and the excellent work of Laura Bowman as the mother, the company was not a promising one.... The redeeming feature of the production was the use of the Mose" burst into the singing of spirituals, the players taking to them with the alacrity born of their knowledge that here TOO MUCH JAZZ IS RUINING SHOW TODAY TOO MUCH JAZZ IS RUINING SHOW TODAY By S. H. DUDLEY In my opinion there is too much jazz in the present day shows. When you see one you see it. When you see it, the Charleston and blackbottom and we get the Charleston and blackbottom until the final curtain. I notice the shows that are a little different from the shows, that's what I get my conclusion. Another draw-back is—the bits used in these revues are too old and too many shows do the same bits, these shows and it is time for the producers of this kind of entertainment to wake up and bring us something new or the theatres will have to go to straight to theaters. For Chances I think the time is about right for a show with a theme. Let us have a story show once in a while to break the monotony. I also need a musical number in which we would add a few musical numbers in it to itep it up; it is worth a trial anyway. One thing sure it could not make business worse for the promoters of the shows than The present day producer or stage director doesn't have to go on the stage to stage his dance numbers. He just sits in the front on stage and sings "Charleston in this number, and blackbottom in that number." And when he is asked what will we do the closing of the show? We simply say, the blackbottom, so we will close this one with the Charleston." The elusive girls of today can leave one show at matinee today and open with another for night performance or making a dance. This is because all shows are the same with very few exceptions. I would like for some of our progressive young producers to rehearse our questions and let us have a rest on ONL MAN JAZZ, for a short while anyway. ARNOLD BACK WITH 'TOBY' NASHVILLE, Tenn.-W. R.

Creditable Performance The height (daily) was milder in its estimate: "It was on the whole a creditable performance, with many good vocational skills. Vive P. Hopkins, the spirituals." The New York Times summarizes its opinion in: "that play becomes no more a reflection of Negroes or Negro problems than it does the American farming conditions, the point may be well brought up that 'Meek Mosk is not supposed to be a realistic portrayal.' but simply a theatrical entertainment." Romeo Dougherty, of the Amsterdamsky News credited Laura Bowman, Ruth Ellis, and J. Lawrence Criner with portraying their roles faithfully. The supporting actors were also praised for doing their work with the more charac-teristic. The critic's estimate of the script is: "The story, however, lacks sufficient depth, we think to bring us to the theatre for the second time. Hope that it will have a run, but we doubt it. It is, however, an important step in the right direction." While failing to comment upon the actors or their performances, Wm. E. Clark of the New York declared "the less vicious attempt the less vicious element of Negro life and a faithful study of the pacifist type of minister."

CallVE rnon 6016 Playing The Game By WILLIAM GIBSON The Douglass Situation Because someone blundered and has not yet been set aright, basketball at Douglass High School seems to be doomed as far as the 1928 season is going. A ruling made by the School Board, to apply to ALL city schools, has been made it impossible for its teams to appear on foreign courts, unless they leave after the regular closing hour and return to the city by nightfall. As a result of this action, which may be reasonably applicable to the white schools of the city, athlete competition has been practically nullified, since there are but two or three schools within range close enough to permit of the strict enforcement of the blanket ruling. As the games must be played during the day, this means, as far as will be concerned, that there will be no games. The unfortunate thing about the situation is that the ruling, aimed primarily at bringing the one-city law by team by team to white schools, has left them unscathed, and instead has done its greatest damage at Douglass for being the first school to have an opponent it has no opponents. There are enough white schools in the city to provide suitable interscholastic competition. But the fall, but not with the severity experienced now. As the situation now stands there is no basketball team in Douglass. The P. T. A. has been appended to in an effort to bring about some modification of the ruling, but to date nothing tumble has been done. The muddle created by this faux pas. Inter-class competition has been resorted to in an effort to bridge the gap between the appearances, is an unintentional ban, but it is evident that no class spirit can equal in enthusiasm and wholeheartedness in the school team. The school spirit engendered by previous interscholastic competition has been of a strengthening and vital sort and is needed To let the athletic fires smoulder and die at Douglass would be indeed a great achievement, and it appears that just this sort of a thing is in the process of becoming a stark reality. Coach "Duck" Gibson, who has turned out championship quants and has been a great hand, and stands willing to repeat his feats of previous years. He is one of the best court coaches in the country. Why do not some of these people, who continually profess a large measure of influence and authority, take some definite steps to renew their reputation? Certainly here is a fruitful opportunity for some of these organizations who devote a large amount of their time energy to the election of officers, and provide a reliable service for the city of Baltimore. All-Around Teams After seeing a number of teams in action this season and after checking carefully through the accounts of the country, we believe that we are safe in saying that a large number of court defeats have been due in large measure to a lack of all-around team defense. We believe that we are safe in saying that a large number of court defeats have been due in large measure to a lack of all-around team defense. To explain this point of view further, a few illustrations might be in order. There have been games played in which a team made it to make good at shooting fouls. In one game only one foul out of 11 was made. in another 4 out of 16 and in another 2 out of 16, the rules were changed it was possible for a team to develop a foul shooter against possibl e hlf eN fame, who shot a foul, called a team of the team. But with the change of the rule so that the man fouled had to shoot for himself, the number of fouls scored by some teams is quite low, and it quickly seems imperative that ALL members of a team get good practice in shooting fouls, for many games in shooting fouls, for making good or misusing a foul shot. In the matter of eagling field goals there is another example. There are a number of good guards who are owners of a defender as well as a defender as kinetics in a soup emporium when it comes to making a field goal. And it seems that these players get a goodly number of scoring chances too. We looked at Babo and his team, who scored 15 of his team's points last Friday, and yet found time to block his opponents' scoring, and remarked that a guard who can score and pre Forwards have to do some guarding, their position often being similar to that of the safety man on a football team. They there are cones and hurdles, but who are beaten out every time when it comes to handling the ball. In an amateur basketball it is almost impossible to get a combination of players who have mastered every department of the sport. Pivoting, dribbling, passing, blocking, shooting, and the like, are all arts that every player will perfect them all. It is not expecting too much, however, to ask that more attention be paid to the development of the players who are all developed we believe that two or three can be trained in the same way. Running guards who can fire with precision and teamwork can more than one out of eleven chances at foul goals are needed as much as forwards who can shoot after someone else has obtained possession of the ball and passed it We believe that more attention given to development of all-around abilities will help the game will bring about more satisfactory scoreboard results for some of these teams that have been losing by birthrate margins. *WKU* We were grouped around the table, discussing sports, as is our custom when it rains. Somehow or other, the subject of nationally prominent athletes. After running the gamut of such names as Hubbard Dismond, Scarlett Johnson, the subject of nationally prominent athletes, and a number of others, someone made the remark that the best athletes the race has had have been developed in white school. It was this assertion that fell as a bombshit in our ranks and provoked controversy. We don't know whether there can be any accurate gauge by which the question can be answered, but we know that the Negro athletes developed in white institutions would have developed as much or less had they not versa? Is there a greater stimulus of competition in white schools that makes an athlete fight harder, and that makes a star athlete more valuable?

JIM WILLIAMS TRIES MANASSAS LOOKS TO ON 'TIGER'S' MANTLE BRIGHT TRACK YEAR One of the greatest tributes paid a race athlete by a sports writer, comes from the pen of George O'Neill, the New York Sun. To Trevor Fritz Pollard is one of the greatest football players of all times, and of him says the following: "I was a great player than superlative linemen stand out in Brown University's football history. Subconsciously, one thinks of shifty, twist Richardson and of Sprackling's sanky dashes; of "Sailor" McCarthy's diving plumes; of elusive Jackson Keefer and, above all, of the back-hook and back-hook was more than a broken field phantom. Pollard was a great football player. He could infere or back up a line as effectively as this his way past rows of clutching hands." Pollard weighed only 155 pounds, but most of that poundage was below the waist of the antithesis of Bob Pitzsimons in physique. Both had freak builds. "Fitz" was a heavyweight from the waist up; Pollard's ballast was slung over his hip. His knee length was inordinately developed. They had to be to withstand the savage shocks Pollard was compelled to take. Rachael antithesis gave him no chance in football, but unhappily the millennium has not yet arrived. Unsusceptible opponents did their best to knock Brown great to get. Pollard and they weren't too particular how they got him. No white man would have had to take the punishment Pollard did. JIM WILLIAMS TRIES ON 'TIGER'S' MANTLE Middleweight. Winner of 35 Fights in Australia. To Challenge All Contenders. For Crown NEW YORK—"Sunny Jim" Williams, Harlem middleweight, who before sailing for Australia two years ago, counted among his knock-outs Jamaica Kid and Billy Conley, has returned to this city, and through his manager, Walk Miller, has made it known that he is a contender for the middleweight crown. He has also to Australia for five matches, but remained and fought thirty-five instead, winning all of his bouts. He knocked out Harry Collins, middleweight and champion, and twice defeated England's best middleweight, Lem Johnson, in 20 round matches. Since Williams has been recalled and Miller, his manager, has signified his intentions of this week posting a certified check for him with a Boxing Commission card. Right with Mickey Walker, titleholder, is being placed a challenge for any of the contenders in the middleweight division.

His forward progress had been definitely stopped, though Pollard remained standing. You couldn't get that black box on the back of his enemy guard came tearing up full tilt with the intention of clipping Pollard from behind. The Negro would have been whispsawed between his two opponents. The black box on the back of the badest, rarest piece of work you ever saw! Pollard noted what was happening out of the tail of his eye. He braced those cast iron legs and the sportsmanlike guard must have thought he had hit a concrete wall! He bounced off Pollard's granite thigh and dropped as though by a Mauser. That was one time he guilty party got what was coming to him. "Pollard's shadowy runs are a part of Brown's athletic history. Sometimes he raced up the sidelines forencums for touchdowns. What other back can match that record? How many of you know of Pollard's remarkable ability on the field in the late 1916, when the heavy Maroon teamore Brown to shred on a quagmire field Pollard stood like Gibraltar the place up to the point of putting his tacks on that day. College won 20 to 0. The score would have reached 50 but for Pollard's heroic backing up. Gillo, Spencer and Andrew up to the point of all the Brown defenders save Pollard. The Negro stood ten on their heads."

The new coach, Charles Robinson, captain of the 1926 football team of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri, and prospects appear bright.

A heated discussion and argument ensued, and the reference, in view of the disarranged floor, decided that the field goal should be taken. This discretion then, made the score During the hectic struggle the score see-sawed back and for the first time that made the separators' spines tingle, and even hardened the gamblers wince.

This discussion then, made the score 11-10, and the two teams left the floor. Many people went home believing the score 17 to 16 in favor of St. Christopher's.

C. UNDERDOWN LYNCHBURG, Va.—The Lincoln Lion was handed a surprise package here last week when a sure "wonder" passed and shot his way to a 37-14 victory. The Virginians outclassed the Pennsylvaniaians in all departments of the game, winning 10 minutes of the game piled up 18 points while their opponents were held scoreless. The Fowler-Bell-Henderson-Smith-Davis combination was the only caging of a field goal each by Hawkins and Young, prevented the Lions from being shut out in the final half. Although they fought hard in the second stanza the Lions were only able to garner 10 points, six of which were made by Carpenter, Harmon and Whittington. Baltimore products, including Davis and "Slim" Henderson scored 29 of the Perachers' points, the former getting 15 and the latter, 14. The undeateated Preachers, who are making a strong bid for the collegiate title, will get the acid test here Friday when they meet the strong Morgan College quint. Coachurt's charge is the Morgan Hampton (twice), Morris Brown, Va. State, Bluedef. Claflin, and Morehouse.

MOSES, For A. N. P. The question was asked us the vast improvement in present day of two decades ago?" Strange to say, it is not a variationizing the style of modern jungle fashion, but our various cities, and not the Bet Robertsons, et. al., as is the common. Consider the untutored youths of athletics at a time when first they were called him, or retards his development until such time as he will enter on Harry Hillman, or a Von Elm.

The question was asked us the other day, "What do you account for the vast improvement in present day elementary school athletes over those of two decades ago?" It is not a very moot one, and the credit for revolutionizing the style of modern junior and senior athletes, must be given to such coaches as are to be found in the grammar and high schools of our various cities, and not the Bernie Wefers, Farrells, Murphys, Lawson Robertsons, et. al., as is the common belief, who enters the competitive lists of athletes at a time when his bones have not set properly. His first coaching lesson either tends to bring out the very best that is in him, or retards his development a matter of from ten to twelve years until such time as he will enter college to receive the expert coach of a Harry Hillman, or all ALL CALISTHENICS ARE BENEFICIAL a champion at his favorite pastime. He is put through a series of class calisthens, and after a time, an individual course is mapped out by the coach, that if adhered to religiously will bring out the very best that is in him, athletically, without allowing him to fall heir to the numerous faults the coach has. Just as "Gentleman Jim Corbett," world famous boxing master, was accustomed to shadow box on the average of an hour each day without resting, the good coach puts his youngsters through starting exercises, leg limbing work, breathing from different postures, bending, body movement, and so on, until eight minutes at each successive task, until his heart and lungs are fitted for the arduous task of foot racing. Have you ever considered this thought? Suppose a coach would take ee boy at age of twelve who was capable of running 60 yards in close to 7 seconds flat as is Marlon Miller, erstwhile Public School and high sprint king (Colored) from New York; enter two thirds of the school boy meets that are held yearly in the Metropolitan District? FRANCIS HUSSEY PROVES CASE The answer, of course, is that the youth by the time he had completed his high school course, would be all "burned" out as athletic followers use the term. A glaring case to prove what we say is that of Frank Hussey, Hussey, a blonde-haired youth with the build of an Adonis, was one of the greatest schoolboy sprinters that ever lived, his feats nearly rivaling those of the incomparable Howard F. Drew. This Swaynesian High School phlebotomist, who was born in the city of open A. A. U. events. The result was that at a time when he should have been ready, to make an assault, upon all existing speed marks up to The answer, of course, is that the this high school course, would be all the term. A glaring case to prove is that the greatest schoolboy sprinters that ever of the incomparable Howard P. Dronom was entered in practically all of these schools, have been ready to make an assault. The wise coach singles out a lot 100 yards, he was forced to take a doctor and trainer. While at Bostone he was up for the trials of the American Amsterdam, Holland, this July. MODERN SPEECH In sooth this is the fastest humans that evolution boats, locomotives, automobiles, ice-like, are many seconds faster to the. It is the highest tribute imagery in the world, longboat, Rusie, McGrath, training methods and super-athletic ment. Methinks the ancient delity a gladly held in sung sandals.

The results in a third of the first result, upon all existing singles out a lad who potentially forced to take a much needed rest upon. While at Boston College, Hussey has been accustomed to, and at the end of the American Olympic squad, it has July. MODERN SPEED IS TERREYING s an age of terrifying speed. Not only would he go out of the world, but to the two automobiles, ice boats, ocean liners, onds faster to the mile than the world's the two-inch speed, and the two-kilometer-a-inch long, Frank Krause. In this age, he was an age of 18, and that in this age and super-athletic marvels, their mark is ancient deity "Mercury" who symbolized sandals for a plano like the first and the most unusual one. In with it, Col. Williams, who has flown a altered inhabitants of "God's" blue hustle and bustle of those who care no more on the land, and the other who have lost, and at a pace that would have been the first, a planner in direction to the west, decadent auto. A slight movement motors set up a din that causes the either in fear of their lives. The most human-like traffic pollinates, the most early along at a rate of 125 m in level cushions reading "The Morning's Award. Of course, we have painted a new, will be said are the within the world's the most chittering the that will retail almost as cheaply as Lizzie" did? All wonder that present day youth is not better runners than the free of the 10th month generation from now, en enl our world's children be? The wise coach singles out a lad who potentially promises to become a 200 yards, he was forced to take a much needed rest upon the advice of his doctor and trained. He was not so far off, he had been accustomed to, and at this writing he is building up for the trials of the American Olympic squad who will compete at Amsterdam, Holland, this July. MODERN SPEED IS TERRIFYING In sooth this is a good lerrifying speed. Not only are we watching the fastest humans that evolution has turned out, but airplanes, motor boats, locomotives, automobiles, ice boats, ocean liners, dirigiies, and the like, are many seconds faster to the mile than the world even dreamers of the 1960s. The most common such of the past year, the 2000s of Poster and�, is the Maxey Long, Frank Krmaer, Major Taylor, Colin, Lobert, Mathenson, Longboat, Rusie, McGrath, that in this age of vastly improved training methods and super-athletic marvels, their marks still defy better-than-thinkers, but the time has turned, would be really barely batted sandals for a plane like the Spirit of St. Louis that Colonel Lindbergh has made undying history with, or the DeHavind-land plane of Lieut. Col. Williams, who has flown a mile immeasurably faster than the feathered inhabitants of God's land. The most important of those who are nothing for the atre of sport is carried on at a pace that would have shocked our sires. The business man hopes into a plane kept in a specially built hanger which once housed the fast decadent auto. A slight movement of the stick, and the speed of the plane to the end of the course of the barnyard folk to try this, further and hither in fear of their lives. Without the formality of being halted by traffic policemen, his engineer of the air chariot rolls merrily along at a late 19th-century mile of the quารهب, he was in the business of the Morning, without the slits of the gowning downward. Of course, we have painted a picture of the ultra-fashionable, but who will dare say that within the next quarter century, the middle class folk won't be cluttering up the sky roadways with "Ford" built planes that will retail almost as cheaply as his present edition. Is it then small wonder that present day youth of American public schools are faster if not better runners than the predecessors of twenty years ago, and what of the tenth generation from now, what of the twentieth, what supermen will our children be?

"Matty" is going to knock out a home run or two. Batter Up! —— William Gibson. The papers reveal from time to time that Sonny Suggs, brother of Chick Suggs, New England's sensational leather pusher, is following in the footprints, or would you say fist cuffs, of his illustrious not so distant relative. Sonny, an old classmate of mine, is living up to all my expectations by carrying his five fingered sleep potents to the blond heads of the young white hopes who ruin their feet in the rosh of the corner opposite his. Sonny packs a hawkman at the end of either wrist. As a student Sonny was not at all bad, especially in geometry. Many of his classmates started an argument with Sonny vertical, left the room horizontal. Jean, as we called him then, and I, as we called him now, course, in the same pool. You know that those puppy love affairs are. Well, anyway my ego lego me to believe that bad, tried dreadful, hard, had I ever been hard, but when I saw him send a fellow twice my size and ten times together off to listen to the birds, and when I saw him send a fellow for that young lady. How unfathomable is the human heart, as Shakespeare might say or words to Sonny. Put the stop sign on Frank Hennessey last week and is getting his semaphore ready for Joe Arzetta. In the image the shadow of Rhode Island. Sonny is dead to meet—socially not professionally. Football Rules They are monkeying with the football rules again. It won't be long, if you don't get it. The boys, of say five years ago, will be as out of place at a football game as a ham sandwich at a Jewish picnic. They'll be playing the game. It has been proven conclusively that it takes at least the first two years in school for the average football player to become so complicated that get some sympathetic classmates to work his trig will be jumping out of the frying pan into the incendierism. Pauline Jackson, a lassie who hales from Baltimore and New York essays to navigate the treacherous situation of a suasion on any part can get Pauline to abandon her enterprise, not that I think she can't accomplish it, but she does deserve bigger and better things. Why swim the channel? Most any blond haired Gertrude Elder you pick up can conjure the wash away after a swim. You have been done, repetition would not detract from the oaf victory, while failure by a nut brown girl would creatively add to their superior compulsion. Pauline really ought to do something original. If she just must go in swimming on the big business plan, why not swim something that the Artie remains unswim, suggest the Artie to swim more bath, perhaps, but what does Pauline care about a little cold water? A red hot mama like our own Pauline will melt away, and the whole body of water will boil into polar Bear soup. There are any number of good healthy natural basins full of poor fish just dying for a glimpse of a girlish figure nymphlike as I have 3 sneaking suspicion Pauline has. consideration in this undertaking. These are just hints, to be ignored or thought about, but honestly Pauline has put her foot in it by asking her to swim. She has little excursion. Baltimoreans are tight. When the put up their hard earned cash they demand action, oodies of action and won't take us to the pool. Baltimoreans stand over $15,000 in cold Arizona water will have to swim that channel or else. In fact, for that much money, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they didn't insist upon Pauline swim from the pool before even attempted the channel try. I know, Baltimoreans. SEND THOSE SCORES!

KOESTER'S IS A MOTHER'S DUTY! Page Sixteen Passion A Serial by LOU Dick Lee, Baltimore youth, is seeking to reform his half sister, Luana, new in Chicago, who grew up beautiful, slurgy a habitue of dance halls, cabarets and zankling dens. She meets nice people in Baltimore, but finds she can't get rid of Joe Libertini, Chicago Italian with whom she has had an affair. To complicate matters she falls in love with Dr. Masson, young physician already engaged to a Washington girl. She accepts a fur coat from Frank Casson, the married man upstairs. Detectives invading the Frat dance when Luana and her doctor are love making reclaim her coat. CHAPTER X It was a strange procession that filled up to the second floor of the McCullah street apartment house. There was a detective in front, then Luana and Dr. Masson, and a detective in the erar. Luana closed the apartment door carefully behind them. Then all her reserve fled. She faced the men in fury, little hands clenched, eyes blazing. "What is the meaning of this outrage?" she demanded. "What do you mean by holding my coat?" "Not now." soothed the detective. "You acted too nice all the time. Take it easy. You all say it all about." know what. "No, I don't" cried Luana. "What is it all about? Tell me. I demand to know." Dick came padding in in his bathrobe and slippers. "The detective was unruffled by Luana's anger. "I'll tell you, all right," he said. "This coat was stolen last week. We've been checking up on it this winter, but this is the first time it has been checked at any public affair in Baltimore. The coat's hot—and you know it!" He pointed a thick finger at Luana. She sank in a heap on the divan. Stolen! Bobble: She shook her head weakly, "I didn't know to tell her, whispered. it." she whispered. The detective began in insincere wheedling tones. "Maybe you didn't know it was tassle toen. Come clean, and you'll get off easy. Where did you get the coat? How much did you pay for it?" "I paid nothing for it." answered Luana. "I was a gift." She told the detective. "Now we're getting somewhere. Who made you this little present?" But Luana felt the eyes of Dick and Dr. Mason on her face. Hot shame stained her cheeks. What construction would they place upon her she admitted that Carson had been the wrap? There was just a thing that they could think of girl who accepted a gift like a thick wrap from a married man. the mma Luna Lee shook her head and closed her lips tightly. ips "Come on, now, my lady. Talk. Talk!" one of the detectives sat beside her and caught her arm with his hot hand. But Dick and Masson stepped forward hastily. "None of that," ordered Dick. "Don't touch her." "She's got to tell me where she got this coat," growled the man. "Or else she'll be held for the kill." tell him. Luana" advised Dick. "Go on, tell him. Luhan: and but Luana remained soberly silent.

The house number made an instant im- the detective's mind. pression on pressure on McCullah strent." he repeated. Then suddenly he pulled a book from his pocket and leafed through its pages. "I'm beginning to see things," he remarked to his partner after consulting the book. "An employee of mine that lost this article also haves this address." He turned to Luana. "Is that so?" he demanded. "Does Frank Carson live here or has he ever lived here?" he replied. "Yes, he lives upstairs." His accusing eyes burned Luana. One of the detectives went to the unstairs apartment. Luana bent her head and tears trickled down her cheeks. She dared not even look up when Carson shuffled room accompanied by a telephone and Tvola. "Ever seen this coat before, Carson?" he was asked. "Frank Carson, red-eved and sullen, looked around at the smug detectives and at the weep-fing girl. Dazed from his abrupt awakening, a coward at best, he gave you some." he muttered. "I guess you are gone." he muttered. "What's she doing with it?" demanded Tolaia. Carson was in deed, so a little deeper did not matter. Besides Tolaia couldn't do so much to him before the policemen. "I gave it to her." he admitted. "Did you give it to her or did you sell it to her?" asked one detective. "Did you pay anything as all for it?" was any money? Again Luamu cheeks flashed red and she wished she could vanish in a nuff of smoke. "No, I just gave it to her." said Frank Carson. Tolaia gave vent to a loud shriek. A string of THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC Call VE rnon 6016 vile names rose to her lips and she held none of them back. She raised her hands as if to strike, but Luana Lee lifted her eyes and looked squarely at the raging woman. Someone those eyes made Tyola Carson smile and think even before the detective hurled her backward, "Oor you'll go along, too." Tyola went raging, to her apartment, Frank Carson and the coat went with the police and Luana Lee went weeping to bed, before her mind's eye the memory of, Dr. Masson's grieved face. It wore the look of a man who has just been warned in time. December's skies were grey and dismal as the heart of Luana Lee. Days passed without a glimpse of Dr. Masson. Luana Lee began to explain the metter of the death, but was too exhausted, for conversation. After all, the explanation, was not so good, of itself. There was nothing to do now but work, and forget. All hope was gone. After the night of the dance, Dr. Masson never again showed any tenderness toward her. He was courteous, was polite, but that was all. And Luana Lee wanted more than she was所能 love. Even knew it, just the same. He growled it, she mowed it, just the same. Soon it was Christmas. Through the bleak darkness of early morning under shining stars she trudged to church. Cutie there, singing in robe and surpice, singing like an angel, Holy Night. Silent Night' with Dick accompanying! Surely the soul of Martha Lee was gladdened! Then to the fragrant airtiment, sweet with the smell of turkey roasting and memories of ginger cakes and baked pudding that Florine and Luapa had, baked the day before. It was the gayest of Christmas breakfast, and how could it be otherwise with Cutie Lee and Florine to jest and banter, and Dr. Masson as special guest! There was a tiny Christmas tree on the living room table, and it, tissue wrapped gifts, gaudy with red, and green ribbons. A lace handkerchief from Dr. Masson to Luana and from Launa to Dr. Masson, an auri-scope. "Why, just the instrument I needed," he exclaimed. As though she had not spent weeks just to find it she needed! He gave her a grateful smile, for her thoughtfulness. Suddenly he reddened and gulped. Luana Lee's eyes followed his. She turned. A wave of embrace her head dangled a soray of mistletoe. Abby held it and chanted, "Kiss your girl under the mistletoe." It seemed an age to Luana Lee that she and Dr. Masson stood there, vibrating, under the mistletoe while Florine kept sineing, "Kiss girl, kiss your girl." Masson stared at Luana with surprised eyes and she held his hands at her, beak something gave way within him and he stepped forward. With almost a sob, he caught Luana in his arms. His lips found her warm, red mouth and his arms strained her close to his heart. Luana slipped her arms around his neck and held his dark head to her. A wave came over her, and she kissed him long and warmly. All the love she bore him welled to her mouth and slipped through their locked lips. O. it was sweet, and soothing after all the worry to find his lips on hers, like a pain, cracked mother kisses the hand of her child. Somewhere in the mind was savin, "I love you. I love you but saying it without moving her lips from his. Oblivion—that follows cestasy and then the sound of Florine screetching. south of Fortune, N.C. 'O. Cutie, pry 'em loose. They'll grow together. geren. Luana's Masson's arms loosened and he and Luane Lee became two separate beings again. Luana's head was dizzy. She saw through a blur. Cutie nonchilly holding a watch and laughing. "That breaks the record." Dick, surprised but still with a half pleased grin that plainly said, "It's not just right all!" Florine frankly tricked it out for the best after all. Florine frankly tricked it out, though she expected a taz of thanks from both participants. Luana floated around in a rosy maze until the men left, she prayed for Florine to go and leave her alone with her dreams. Not Florine! She talked and rattled on. if she had known that Masson could kiss like that, she said, she'd have had the spray of mistletoe over her head to me Luana," she laughed. "he hesitated so long, like Adam when Eve handed him the apple, and then, he swallowed it whole, core and all!!" Luana finally "gid of her," Goodbye, Florine. "Gone—at last." She flung herself across her bed as all women do in times of great emotion then laughed, and cried, and laughed out. She turned and looked at her, then the mirror, looked at her, and that had been pressed to his, touched expressively with her fingers. "He loves me. he loves me," she told herself. She knew it. "Knew that he had fought against kissing her and had lost; knew, like every woman an knows, that he would thrist for more. Hone reborn gave her new confidence, restored her flippancy. "Let Constance Lewis look out for herself" she said aloud, "I love that man and, by glory I have a love for her." But the laugh died on her lips. There was The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md—South's Biggest and Best Weekly not only Constance, there was Liebertini. The thought of Lieb gave Luana a sickening feeling She had given him hint after hint to no avail. He simply laughed off her protestations that they must break their relationship. She must be rid of him. She must make the way clear for her new love. She must break off with Liebertini so completely and decisively that Dr. Masson would never know he had existed. The kiss on her lips gave her courage. "I'll make Lieb a nice Christmas gift," she decided. "He won't think I'm playing when he gets it either." She ransacked her drawers, emptied her closets, took from them silken garments that carressed her fingers even as she divorced them, shoes, even limp stockings, she gathered them, and stuffed them in a suitcase and tied a tag on it. She found an empty candy box, filled it with jewels, poured in it heads, chains, bracelets, the diamond earrings. Ah, it was hard to give those up. She tried them on the last time, jerked them quickly from her arm, the general pendant came next. She fingered it lovingly, sighed, "O, well, whole hog or pope," dropped it in the box, snapped the lid on, wrapped it securely, tied it up with a little note on top. "I'm through for good," you get me? "I picked it tidied it again, printed the address on the tag, put it out in the hall to mail and insure on the next day. She went back to her bedroom and without knowing it made a motion as though she dusted her hands. She went back her thoughts of Dr. Masson. "I'll never know about Lieb," she said to herself. "And what he doesn't know won't hurt him." . . . Luana Lee was dying. She was sure of it. Her breath came unwillingly, she had to suck it out of her chest with painful, ribcracking effort. One minute she froze; the next she burned. This particular minute she was burning up, "Give me water," she tried to say, and found she couldn't make a sound. She groaned inwardly. "Here I am dying, darn the luck, just when I want to live." She struggled to open her red-shot eyes, made up by her bed stirring something in a glass. She made a superhuman effort. "Doctor, tell me. am I going to die?" He stirred on, "Well, most likely you are," he admitted: Luana looked at him as reproachfully as a dying girl care about Shen. If she didn't deny that, I was going to die? "All of us die soon or later" added Dr. Masson. "But you ought to be ashamed of yourself if you let this little attack of erin kill you." Liana tried to laugh her relief, but couldn't "Drink this." She drank it. It was unnecessarily bitter, but then she would probably have drunk poison if handed to her by those beloved hands. His hands! How she loved them. They were the most delicate tools of his profession, slender, swift, and sure, as scrupleship as as she was. As she closed her eyes, fitted them, through the slits. They belonged to her, she imagined. They were her brown birds that ministered to her. They were dropping something, drop by drop, in the barrel of a syringe, they were coming closer to her now, they rubbed a pad on her arm, they took up the springe and pressed it against the flesh. It stuck a little like a pin pricks. She lay still and quiet. Ah, that was better, now, the main was quiet away. She felt lighter, longer. "Are you going to stav with me, doctor?" "Yes, until your brother comes." "Is it a day?" "day?" "Are you really going to stay all day?" "Yes, so to sleep now." "All day, with me, that's just fine—" "Keep quiet, now and sleep." She was going to sleep, drifting away when suddenly the phone rang. She strained up to answer请求 of habit. The two brown birds settled on her shoulders, pressed her down on her bed. How strong, they were! She slent and dreamed that she had caught the two brown birds in her hands and carressed them and that they fluttered to her hair smoothing it, with their wings. When she awoke it was afternoon. The pain and the fever had gone, her head was as clear as a bell. Her first thought was of him she loved. Was he there? She raised her head to look. Her eyes searched the room for him. She gave a great start and strangled back a scream of terror. On a chair at the foot of her bed sat Joe Liebertini, and, for once in his life, he was not smiling.

When you arise in the morning to spread the paste on in the room with a finger, you can drown into the crevices. Then leave it there while you go about shaving. That should take about five minutes. more or less. By that time the paste has had time to exercise its germicidal effect. It has not been diluted with water and applied for mercury a second or two. When you should wash the paste then wet your brush and remove the paste. It is not a bad practice to leave some of the paste in the crevices.

"Congaree Sketches" Reviewed BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON By E. G. L. Adams, With An Introduction by Paul Green, Published by The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, N. C. Price $2.00. This collection of Negro tales, sometimes only bits of conversation that Dr. Adams has doubtless overheard, sometimes poignant, terrible pictures of real life, sometimes bright travesties of Heaven and Hell, are the best sketches that have yet come out of the South, always excepting Joel Chandler Harris" "Folk Tales"; They are better than Kenedy's "Black Cameoes", even better than Gonzales" "Black Barder", though that book's rare humor would show more clearly in a less difficult dialect. They furnish an extraordinary field for future students who seek to know something of the life and the mind of humble, twentieenth-century black folk. "The Hopkins Nigger" the sketch that begins the book, is the story of a Negro's wonderful flight in heaven, Harper's magazine last spring had a short story, by a New Yorker on the same cover. Evidently it is a tragic bit of real life. I give it in its entirety. Seip: Un' Fed boy, Jonas. Voice: When dey guh finish? Seip: Dey done finish. Voice: Wha' dev do wid him? Scp: You talk like a fool. Ax me what dey gun do wid him. Ain't I tell you dey him? Ain't I tell you dey done finish try him. You ax me wha' dey do wid him. Ain't you know who set on the jury? Voice: White folks? Scp: Yes, white folks, and dat ain't all—poor white folks, poor buckra, cracker—ain't dat 'nuff? Dat what set on de jury. Voice: But Jonas ain't do nuttin'. Scp: Dat ain't make no difference. I done tell you who set on de jury. Voice: Is he pa fret much? Scp: No he ain't fret. He know dey ain't no nurse to fret. He raise he chillun right and he ain't fret. He got sense. He know what guh be, guh be, en he ain't fret. Sketches follow of "A Congaree Freshet", "Hell Fire", "Old Sister in Heaven", "Old Sister in Hell", "Wild Goose Nest", and many others. The story of the boy on the chain gang whose father brings food to his jailer, is the most terrible indictment of the chain gang I have yet read. Here is a father's advice to his son: When she's right she'll die to save you. An when she's wrong she'll die to git you. But the best thing in the volume is the generous backfellow Grisha. No Negro should fail to read his tribute to the colored men of promise today. To Robeson and Hayes, to Cullen and Locke and Brawley, to James Weldon and J. Rosamond Johnson, to Langston Hughes and Charles S. Johnson, and dozens of others. Especially Burke, Burke, Du Bois. And of the Negro race he says; "They are a magnificent people, and nothing can keep them down."" **FILING MAGAZINES** When it is desired to file away magazines for future reference, cut out the page containing the table of contents and write the name of the magazine and date at the top of this page.

C. this week. Incidentally the "Sage of Anacostia" might not know his home today if he could return suddenly, for this section of Southeast Washington is strangely built up with two-story semi-detached homes, concrete streets, walks and grass plots. None of these interfere with the water of Potomac river from the Douglass house stands on a hill, and the winding path to the house trod by Mr. Douglass 85 years ago has been replaced by a house of concrete steps and walks leading terrace fashion from the street to the porch. Wide lawns are well kept. In the yard is a sundial of the Married Women's Culture Club of Pittsburgh. The National Federation of Colored Women own and maintain the home. In the front room to the right are three bronze tablets containing names of those who contributed to the establishment its purchase. State Federation of Works' Club of Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia are among those represented. A large likeness of Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Federation when the building was purchased adorns the walls together with a large photo segment, Civil War Volunteers. The Madame Walker Company has wired the home with electricity. Mr. Douglass' library on the first door has also been restored. There are cases filled with books and ancient photo albums. There are easy and a Remington typewriter number and a Remington typewriter number. Everywhere are placed painting busts and photos of Mr. Douglass, some excellent and a few poorly executed. One of the best is a so-called "skating picture" of Mr. Douglass. It shows him dressed in a heavy coat and a long hair shows, but his chin shaved clean. There are also excellent photos of Mrs. Anna Murray Douglass, first wife and the second Mrs. Douglass who was white. In one case is wearing apparel including shirts, handkerchiefs, a flannel shirt and a number of original manuscripts and curtors from round the world. There is a file of the "North Star" 1817 and another of Frederick Douglass' Paper. 1852, two weekly papers Mr. Douglass issued, in his own hand. He also him a most humidian member of the Mfa Phi Alpha College fraternity. In the garden is a one room brick building provided with a fire place and chimney to which Mr. Douglas to compose his addresses and lectures.

Douglas, president of the Middle Georgia Savings and Investment Company, of Macon, Ga., is a keen and observing businessman with many years' experience in several lines of business. Out of that experience has come the philosophy which enables him to make money, not only in Macon, but with widely scattered investments. In a recent communication to the A. N. P.

The undertaking and insurance business is forging ahead nicely; but in the grocery, drug and theatre business, to mention a few lines, we are scarcely holding "You are interested in what must be done to improve business," he continued. "Well, the responsibility of the people and cater to it. He must prepare to meet the competition of prices and locations; and he must use plenty of public resources to take an interest in instilling in his people race pride and self consciousness, especially where his trade is primarily with his people. This interest must be taken up. His own benefits will come along with these of the other merchants of the group. "Before entering a particular business, you must investigate the capabilities of there being a fair chance at success for him in the field of operations he has chosen. If there are other opportunities prospering, unless he can detect the fault responsible, he has little right to expect to succeed in preference to those already there. He should be careful with his tools and be self-convinced that he is capable of better serving the public, can sell goods cheaper or has better substantial reason upon which to base the expectancy of suc- "P: must not hope to succeed through friendship great as that asset is to any business; nor will she luck avail him.

There is a card in the bus on which I frequently ride to work which I always read with a great deal of interest. Which Patronize Their Naborhood Stores Always Have The Best Stores? I sometimes sit and substitute two words in that slogan and think how is changed so as to read "Races Which Patronize Their Own Race Stores Always Have The Best Stores", the white man has learned many years ago but which we are slow to learn. The question of race patronage is a about which there has been a good deal of unfortunate and unthinking discussion. Some have argued that we should patronize each other the same quality and quantity of merchandise and price. This is a falacious argument, and the sooner we get away from it the sooner we will progress along commercial lines. The only way to enable a struggling race to get into position where it can compete with the powerful races who can win, is to have the organizations, is to patronize business ventures regardless of every other factor until those ventures get the point that because of their volume of patronage and the resultant increase in sales, they can provide same service as to quality and quantity and price as to other peoples do. WHAT BUSINESS NEEDS TO KNOW Investors, advertisers and credit men want to know certain things about every community, the business community and the co-laborated press *Gro Press* states this wek. They include the following: The earning power of this population, the range of employment so as to show the probabilities of the failure or closing of a given business creation, the conditions of the community which is an indicator of the future; t n a rate of population growth; the financial history of the community; the business together with as accurate approximation as may be obtained as to the average gross and net income. Learn the record of the people for credit and prompt payments; ascertain about bankruptures in the group; take a census; ligulate on the success of obtaining data upon the success or failures among the business men of the group. This is a job of perhaps a year for a competent secretary or research agent and its costs some money. But, do these jobs require you to have them well done; and the foundation for some splendid publicity and advertising will have been laid. Give the public the information and many investors seek such information, what is said that the community, and follow that with investment. JUST MARRIED GEORGE-DOVE BEAUPORT, N. C. — Mr. James B.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly SOUTH AFRICA AS BAD AS MISSISSIPPI SOUTH AFRICA AS BAD AS MISSISSIPPI NATIVES COMPLELED TO SHOW PASSES Can Hold Public Meetings In Groups Of Ten Only Three Times A Month PARIS, France.—Labor conditions are as bad in South Africa as in Mississippi, according to a report made to the AFR representative in the AFR AMERICAN CAN by Josiah T. lumede, head of the African National Congress, a radical organization. Because, said the labor leader, whites in South Africa are outnumbered five to one, they are desperately afraid that the natives will some day take their own country and take their own hands. In consequence, whites are doing everything they can to keep them down. Color Bar Bill The Color Bar bill passed about a year ago aims to prevent natives from doing other than unskilled work and is similar to conditions which prevail in the South following the war. There is also a sedition bill aimed especially at preventing any effective organization among natives and which allows no organization to have more than three meetings each month. In some sections of the Transvaal natives must present a move to move from place to place. Farm Wages Efforts of the natives to organize against their oppressors have only increased the pressure. Gumede says, "We have been forced to per month with porridge thrown in and even most of this is taken rent. We one pretext or another the South African natives are being robbed out of their land, even the British Government failing to carry out its agreement in protecting them. While all must pay taxes, but scant provision is made for education of the natives in the country places. In the past, the British Government by reports from the English Commission, sounds very much like darkest Mississippi with its separate churches, raping of colored women by the British government, the punishment of colored men found with white women.

The non-support charges were brought by Mrs. Margaret Gooden who is now residing at 1621 W. Mulberry street, and who testified that Gooden beat her severely and deserted her. Sunday. Surprised Pair Gooden, who lived at 1212 W. Franklin street, worked side by side as a clerk with Fauntleroy in the local post office. They, however, have off hours at different times, and it was during Fauntleroy's hour off that Gooden got a hunch, went home early and found him in the bathroom, he said. He approached the house, he said, Fauntleroy was in a front room, but when he entered he found no one but his wife there. It was after a search that he found the man hiding in the bath room. It was following this, he declared, that an argument took place during which his wife attempted to assault him with a vase. The couple was married three years ago and had children. The case was postponed to allow the couple time to effect a reconciliation, if possible.

Spencer, veteran, veteran and the First Separate Company as he was buried at National Cemetery, Loudon Park, Thursday. Solem and impressive services marked the last rites to the man who had spent the greater part of his 72 years in the uniform of his country during the war. Through out the night and through the following day, two sentinels from the company he loved so well stood statuelike at both ends of the flag-draped coffin as it lay in state in the Richmond Market Armory, which was given to his unit as a token of esteem for their brilliant career during the late war. From time to time the watch was chaged, silently ghostlike as if the corporal of the guard feared the slightest sound might disturb his slumber. Dr. Bragg Conducts Rites At one p. m. the vested figure of the Rev. George F. Bragg appeared behind the tricolored casket and the sculpture of a soldier, half later the company swung around the corner from Richmond street stood rigidly at attention as the body was lifted from its place amid a garden of floral designs and conveyed on the shoulders of his former comrades to the waiting hearse and the slow march to Loudon Park was begun. beyond the body, the procession reached its destination, a snail like procession that moved with marital tread to a mournful tune. The grave reached, the bugler blew his final revelille. Six rifles barked and before the smoke had cleared, knight-clad men were closing the grave of one of the last survivors of the Monumental Guards. The career of a soldier was ended.

Another innovation is the use of many pipes in the hairdresser's dummer, giving a rising sound as of water on the beach. Many Sunday parties feature this new style of music.

LINCOLN PARK CEMETERY STILL FORGING AHEAD LINCOLN PARK CEMETERY STILL FORGING AHEAD Petus To This Deserving At last it seems that our people are waking up to the importance of having an up-to-date, perpetual care cemetery in which they preserve their memory. It seems that the management have succeeded by their kindly manner and honest treatment to have won the confidence of the people to such an extent that business men, professional men and merchants are eager to make a success of the undertaking. A visit to the office is convincing proof of the fact that it is to be in Reality "a Colored Man's Cemetery" as we were shown subscriptions for shares from many well known men and women in the share-holders but have been placed on the Advisory Board of the Company. The long list of lot sales shows the wonderful possibilities for profit to those who were farsighted enough to see the world with willpower to invest their money to make it possible, but the really appealing thing about the whole matter is that they have kept faith with our people and allowed them to gain an interest in the company and then such a large voice and vote in it. Minister Does Not Favor Darwinism The Rev W. A. Hall does not believe in Darwinism as stated in a recent report of an address he made before the Baptist Preachers' Meeting, he told the AFRO-AMERICAN this week. Although admitting the correction of the quotation taken by itself, we said the inference that no subscribed to the Darwin theory of human evolution, was erroneous. We did not accept an evolutionary theory of life but did not believe that it had any connection with the creation of man. In fact, says the Rev. Hall, under my subject, "Heresie. Today" I include Darwinism as an outstanding heresy, as an outstanding as a half and half pass as the fuller light of truth climbs higher in the skies. There is really no conflict between Christianity and Evolution until evolution denies God as the guiding power behind it. The more we know about the universe, the more certain it is that at the bottom of it is a Spirit. The more we know about man, the more certain it is that he is fundamentally spiritual, akin to spirit; and the more we know about God, the more certain it becomes that the whole affair is dramatic and prophetic of a moral, spiritual and purposeful denouement.
