The bar association adopted a resolution declaring that if the signed article expressed the views of Judge Hitt, it regarded him as unfit to be a police officer. Two Kings of Justice The members of the bar association took the view that a police court judge, who believes in segregating prisoners, might also believe in segregating officers, but he believed in offenders and another kind for colored offenders. In fact, many of the lawyers, who try cases before Judge Hitt, declare that it is impossible to get a fair and impartial trial where the testimony of white people is invariably. Invariably, they say, he will take the word of the white person, especially if he should be a police man.

Lindbergh in Haiti. BY ROSCOE SIMMONS A young white lady of Rockville, Conn. Miss Helen Taylor, marries a young colored man, Clarence Kellem, also of Rockville, You. Miss Helen Taylor, also of Rockville, no nepapers carried the story because news is the unusual. Is it not unusual for a decent young white girl to marry a deceased woman? No, you say, VERY unusual. Many of our white people will never understand why young people kick over the traces. Love is blind, even to you. Love under the sky, everybody including you, starts running his mouth. White gentlemen got along all right, and many still get along without the church or the courthouse. Sentiment is one thing, law another. You can break off from a girl without much talk, gentleman think, but you can still have a fine case in law, jury and newspapers. Shake hand with Miss Taylor, Miss Helen Taylor. Not much trouble to remember: her name, since you have missed Miss Taylor's in your social register. Miss Taylor's ancestors on her father's side started at the Mayflower and descended of Robert E. Lee. Kellem, the groom-to-be, does not much talking about ancestry. His mother is "white" and she told the better, Mr Kellem may be thinking. Children of such a union will be able to brang on the Mayflower, pay the taxes they pay the their father, not having much of a tree to talk about, planted one. Unable to find a wife to court, among them, he married a Ethiopian girl, a daughter of Jethro, and won her. Take time and read a little, and you will find that since Moses crossed all lines for women, some under the law, as Moses and Europeans, and a few out of the law, as our white gentleman of the "Well, sir," Lee will sav as he looks down on the Kellen-Kermel wedding procession. He rinsered, white gentlemen took colored girls by THEIR law. Now a white girl accepts a colored boy under the COUNTRY'S lace. Hope that Miss Taylor and Mr.Kermel will live long and be happy. Praying For Floods Will Rogers, the famous clown, was one of the speakers at the recent democratic get-together Washington. He got off this piece. The flood was a terrible thing, and the Red Cross did a great doub about amounting to the relief part was successful that the hardest part was to get the people to go home.

They knew they down a button-holeor two, another washout would cure them. As for the Red Cross the less said it was the Red Cross is all right as a relief, but as a charity, that is something else. Hope that Mr. Rogers in his next speech on the Negro thought the flood all right. Baptists Still Warring Baptists, that warring band of earnest Christians, will be in, in, in, on between K.

Gibson, wealthy theatre owner here, out of thousands of dollars was blocked after he had paid over the first $1,000, when police intervened and arrested a man who gave his name as Howard Johnson, Saturday night. The man's arrest came as the clinix of two hectic months in which Mr. Gibson had been in fear of his life after receiving a number of threatening letters from what he believed a desperate set of blackmail- The first letter ordered him to place $1,000 at a marked spot on his desk.

If he is wrong you could tell him of his wrongs before telling them and if you want him no longer, don't kill him and blight his future. Give him a chance to leave in and women some day and remember we are not without faults and shortcomings. Don't throw away your stick before you give it to a sake, get together in harmony with the school right away even at a temporary sacrifice. S. M. BECKFORD, P. S.—Nearly all are back. P. S.—Nearly all are oack. The student committee of eleven sent the following resolutions to the effect of offering chancellor of the school and head of the trustees. The resolutions say: the students of the college department have sufficient evidence to condemn the morals of the present; administration and the department have the completely lost confidence in the said administration, and; Whereas, morality ceases to be a virtue with the present administration We resolve, that we will withdraw from the institution if the present administration is no longer a member of the college department, absolutely protest against the president's request for the resignation of the FM. The Historical Department, inasmuch as his character is spotless and no reason has been tendered as to why he has been asked, Bishop Returns Resolutions Bishop Johnson returned the resolutions to Dr. A. J. Wilson, head of the Historical Department, was one which the board should settle. The trustee board consists of 100 pastors and laymen. 25 from each conference, we that entire board was no longer a board. No Resignation Asked "I have never asked for Dean Dent's 'resignation', the president "He is still a member of the faculty." Students All Back President Edwards said school is going on as usual and the entire college is being prepared for the exception of a few students who have not been allowed to return. The president of the college league was among the strikers who petitioned to be allowed. If You Are Skeptical Just Ask Your Neighbors For 15 years Terpinoil has been helping people suffering from Chest Colds, Bronchitis back to health and strength. (Continued From Page 1) all the peoples who came to these shores you were, you were voluntarily. For 50 years you have been freed from slavery, but the white man attitude toward you has changed very little, and he himsay he will not your color, but the stigma of slavery that causes his attitude toward you. "White people have been slaves all the time, the history of the world. But that was long ago and they have had time to live it down. You have not had time. The memory of your enslavement is too recent. The whites have it and he treats you accordingly. Excluded From Unions "There is no white man anywhere, no matter how ignorant it is, that does not know of the injustices that that man has underdone when you do the same work that the white man does. You are excluded from unions, because he cannot work if you work when a strike is called you are designated a scab. The white man does not want you to compete in your competition, either. I confess I do not see what it is that you can do—the problem there can only be explained in the logic of the white man." First Place In Battle "There is only one place where the white man gives you the first place that I know of—only one place that is on the battlefield. Thousands of colored people died in the war so make the world safe for democracy." There are many colored people believed that is what the war in which they fought, for a country that had consistently treated them in gentler terms and their condition. And when they came home after this war off the democracy they were pushed off the wards! **Worked Like A "Nigger"** "The hypocrisy of the white award the colorado state has made that Negroes are yet, when they wish to say how hard they have been working they say I've been working longer than you to join in trains and street cars because you are divvy." "But you are clean enough to serve and prepare the food in your kitchen. But if you use it on their table, but you may not sit down unless you have a white child in your arm." "Dust Wasted Making Man" now what is the difference between a white man and a black man? They have the same bodies; skin a white man and a black man. They are made the same way. There is no biological or other evidence to show that marking is divided into races. There is no creation, which tells of how God scooped up dust and made a man—and I will see that if He did mark him from this man He took a rib and made woman—another perfectly good waste! But the story does not say that the man is what color. He made the man—and there is no record anywhere that He did any painting. This is the story of the fundamen- Then there is the belief of the evolutionist, that man evolved from a lower form of animal. We call it lower because we are ones who do not walking. Here again it is no evidence of diff. species evolving. Real Creation "What really happened?" You can believe that man was created in one place and then queen-given to different places, the globe to live—or you can believe that life began simultaneously in different places. AT any rate, in some manner, some people of the earth were created another. Now it is a known fact that dark skin will stand heat better than fair skin, and that fair skin will stand the cold best. Another who was created then obvious, who was created with the fair skin had the best chances of survival, while those with dark skins had the best chance of surviving in the South. "Thus through nature over a period of time the peoples and those in the North retained fair skins. Thus the question of race is disposed of. One man be the white or black of the people, a man be the manner of skin, a difference brought about by nature. "No people have ever suffered such handicaps as the colored. They do not do well in good schools and do not in many places now. Every effort is made by the white people to keep the Negro in what they thought was his place. They oppressed and every effort to rise. "An automobile concern got a large number of colored people to leave the South and come to a certain form to work in the North, there was no place for them to live—they could work in the factory all day, but as night there was no room for them. Segregation "White people refuse to allow Negroes to live in the same neighborhood with them and thus oppose, a higher standard of living on the part of the latter," the filmmakers were burned and colored people terrorized because a member of their race raped a white woman. They TEPHORA and Ginger COOL TEPHORA and Ginger COOL got a colored man for it, and were about to lynch him when they discovered they had. But they got another, but. But they got another, he said, and that time were not so particular. Just a colored man. was all that they really want- Hayes-DuBois Yet in spite of all that has been done and is being done to you, you have advanced. Today you have in every field someone who is superior to the white man same field. Same field. No voice in that of Roland Hayes. I know no educator who has done more than Walter White. "You have come far in your fifty years—a bitter torture road, but you have still further to go. I do not believe that you will be able to master it in this generation. But you must work for the generations to come. You must work for your children and your children's children. That is a high self esteem ideal at all times. But all you must do is ideal, for without ideals life is nothing. South-North No Difference "I sometimes wonder if you are very much better off than you were in the days before the war, but you are not much better treated. Do not get the idea in your heads that the colored man in the North is much better off than the colored man in the South—of course there is some difference. "Smith and Wasson line," but not much. The white everywhere looks down upon and scorns the Negro. Still, you would not go back. I am sure. Loose Freedom "I am reminded of a story by a southern colonel, who had been visiting in Tuskegee. Ala., and who had engaged in military training before the Negro is better today than in slavery days. The colonel called to him one day a colored man whom he knew, and who had been a slave. Sam, he said, you were not sent you. On yes, Sam replied. I was well treated. 'You had enough to eat, didn't you?' the colonel asked. Yes, indeed. I had enough to eat. And a comfortable bed. Yes, I had a nice place to sleep, said Sam. Not any better now that you have your freedom. Is it Sam? 'No. I guess it isn't any better really. Colonel said Sam. But there is a looseness about this freedom that I kinda Sympathy Not Wanted Mr. Darrow warned the colored people against the sympathy of white people. Pinyu, he said, is the one of superiorcy on the side of the other. Do not ask for the white man's help. If you want to be treated as his equal, he told them. Don't Rebel Now "Above all" he said, toward the end of his talk. "Do not rebel against the white man—but do not accept them in your soul. Do not let him crush your spirit, whatever he may do to you, respect your respect and your knowledge that you are not inferior. Be wise as the serpent and harmless as the dove and be harmless as the serpent and wise as the dove." N. A. A. C. P. SETS WRIT IN TWO CASES NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-Royal L.

Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little fretful spells and infantile aliments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the time? If you don't know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Castoria. It is sweet, it is hardwearing and sweet to eat, the stomach, and sweet influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distasteful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher's Castoria is purely vegetable, so give it freely, at least of colic, or constipation or diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don't know what is the matter. For real sickness, call the doctor, always. For a few babies a few Fletcher's Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher's Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from drugs, but why? Besides, Fletcher's is nourishing and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold!

THE TELEPHONE-JUST CALL The above paragraph printed in the AFRO-AMERICAN, page 1, in the issue of January 14, gave Dean and Mrs. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, the first information that their son, Paul, "the baby," a student with Miss Williams, and eldges with Miss Williams, a fellow student to Rockville, on December 8th, where they were married. He secret and perhaps it would have been kept until the end of the year, except that the AFRO inadvertently "spilled the beans." Course, there has been perennial forgiveness, but the young married couple went up against a stone wall when they attempted to e-mail a proposal to Howard University following the announcement that they were married. Howard has a rule that students who marry during the year co-education with the university. It is designed to protect those parents who send their children to Howard University with the expectation that they will be well The university cannot prevent any couple from getting married who desire to get married a good deal, but they must ask 9 persons them to leave their classes, in mediately if they marry without the consent of their parents, and the consent of their parents, and the consent of the university authorities. According to university authorities, the couple is guilty of technical deception in that they registered for the university under the application of the rule, they will be compelled to remain out of their classes for a year.

Five or six ought to be closed or merged with others." Bishop Reverdy Ransome, of Nashville, Tenn., told the A. M. E. Bishop's Council in session here last week. At the last moment the meeting place of the council was changed from the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, originally selected to this bishop, to its ultimately to oe St. John's A. M. E. Church. Bishop H. B. Parks, D. D., of California, and senior bishop, presided with Bishop S. F. Happert and Bick. of Johnson as secretaries. Every bishop was present except Bishop W. Sampson Brooks who was 'etained in the West African field. The main item before the Bishops Council was the adoption of an Episcopal address which will be printed and broadcast to the denomination and feature such questions as rotation of the bishop for the increase of lay representation in the General Conference, centralizing of education, creating new districts in foreign field and increasing Episcopal supervision, womens rights in the church, attention of the academy at the church, and General sentiment expressed among the 400 ministers who constituted the lower house in session here was to the effect that two bishops for the home work should be elected. Bishop Ransome's Adress "We have too many church schools with the result that we have loaded the backs of the people with this point where we cannot reach a point where they cannot much longer endure the strain. We have already wound our ecclesiastical machine up tight. Just one more turn of the screws in certain directions and so on. We know at least five or six of our church schools that could be closed or merged with others with the result that but a little prestige vanity or pride. Public Schools Now "The public school of the school term and the strengthening and broadening of the public school system for Negroes in nearly every southern state is making our schools a less necessary. In our zealous expansion we are educating the laity with on corresponding effort to educate ministers to preach to them. Edward Waters College we have a beautiful and commodious theological seminary building but no theological seminary. At Wilberforce University we have a beautiful theological seminary and no seminary building except a decaying pile which inadequately houses its occupants. From this time onward trained ministers should be our goal in education. Superannuated superannuated cry goes up for better support for our superannuated preaches, widows and orphans. The discipline already provides for it but with the least the already heavily burdened people find it impossible to report ten cents from or for each member to supplement it. We have this our Easter offerings and our Children's Day money have been disrecarded or depleted in the almost ruthless campaign for educational money in some episcopal dis Too Much Zeal "In the past 50 years our zeal in the field of missions and education has so far outrun our financial strength and our power to tatter the fabric of control that we now almost at the breaking point. "As things are now, few have time, energy or spirit for the spiritual side of the work of the gospel. But with the help of the presiding elders our enter upon the work of evangelical preaching and effort. Our altars would be sufficiently cleared, money "eathers and "raised tables," make room for penitents and for Five Bishop Sentiment at the Council was that five and six bishops ought to be elected. There are now four vacancies on the bench due to death. Leading candidate is Kansas City; Dr. R. A. Grant, Florida; Dr. C. S. Williams, Kansas City; Dr. M. H., Davis, Baltimore; Dr. M. W. Thornton, New York; Dr. J. Anderson, Pittsburgh; Dr. R. W. Thornton, much in evidence in the Connectional Council was sent for by the Bishops, but he came out of the E.

In fashion that women should furl around their necks and go barefooted, women would do it, he declared. **Determine Own Destiny** Man was not made to be the slave of the machine, but the power within that makes him ruler of his surroundings. People mortgage their homes and buy automobiles simply because their neighbors own one, this makes them slaves of the man. Man is not a beggar to be cuffed about by the circumstances in which he finds himself, but a king to rule these circumstances. Where we are born and where we live, the heights to which we shall rise. A rock near the source of a stream may cause that stream to turn definitely to the right or to the left, and it sends its way to the sea, but the handicaps or fortunes of childhood do not determine a man's course in life because he is endowed with a power to shape his destiny. God had his choice. Rev. Mr. Navar declared, of making man incapable of sinning himself whether he preferred to be good or evil. He preferred to expose him to the possibilities of both, but the one that determines whether a man is good or bad. Sin Does Not Destroy Sin in itself does not destroy, but the doctrine does not. So God tools used to bring men to their senses. Every affection that follows in the wake of transgression is made good. God follows from the path of wrong and return to the road of right. It is not right. The pastor stated good person to save his own soul alone. because every evil doer in the community imposes a responsibility on the good person and not concern himself about his neighbors, but the disease germs that generate in the adjoining yard come over the fence the whole neighborhood is affected.

Africa—Archbishop of Capetown and the Bishop of Bloquefontain have come out in public statement in a defense, the reasons according to the "African World." The bishop declared that the church cannot be silent in the face of this. In this letter the archbishop declares that the Color Bar Bill proposes the disfranchisement of men who have voted for many years, a reason except that they are colored. "We do not desire," the clergy say, "to dictate what passions the church should be to the natives, what qualification to n of the franchise should be, but we do say that whatever the government plans are these must be able to sustain us just and fair. To sell our birthright of standing for justice,—however much in the past the church may have sinned—is a crime that we shall not try to S. S.

DR. WILLIAMS REFERR'D ONLY TO BAPTISTS DR. WILLIAMS REFERR'D ONLY TO BAPTISTS Tells Afro He Didn't Mean Baptists "Run Everything," Outside Their Own Church NO ATTACK MADE Convention Has Tolerant Attitude Toward Miss Burroughs Dr. L. K. Williams, president of the National Baptist Convention, in a statement to the AFRO forwarded from Chicago this week, explained what he meant by the Baptists running everything. He said in part, "When I was in Washington when I said we run everything, I was illustrating that the Baptist church was a perfect democratic institution, that it was not ruled by any other government." He refused no reference to anything or person outside of the Baptist Church and its own affairs. He agreed with me that this is a democratic age with a democratic spirit permeating and remaking countries, nations and old institutions. My point in this case was that the Baptist community is liberal democratic spirit, that is, the genius of the Baptist church". Referring to an editorial in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN. Dr. Williams denied that he made any attacks upon Miss Burroughs or the National Training School. He said that the question that the acitation in respect to the training school started in 1916 in Savannah. Ga. six years before I was elected president of the National Baptist Convention. The convention voted to abolish the school in 1920, two months before I became president of the convention. I have maintained a tolerant attitude toward the school since I have been president and have held down until now those legal proceedings."

W. H. Manakop told members of the Rosa J. Richardson Court of Calanthe No. 54, K. of P. at their second anniversary service held at St. John's A. M. E. Church, Sunday night. "Many people with perfectly good eyes, are blind to Christ," the pastor continued, "and they consequently don't know him. You lodge members are charged with the duty of helping someone who is down-of-leading someone—but you must be led if you too are to be good leaders." We Have Two Sides Bringing in a homely but graphite analogy, the Rev. Mr. Manakoo declared that many people never get the other person to approach the other person cannot be approached. This, he explained, is because we only see the rough side of the person. But problem is that we are our duty to know them both if we are to get along in life. Continue his analogy, the pastor pointed out that some people are a persimmon—the sweet their friendship grows, the sweet they become. Deformed Religion "There are many people," he insisted, "who are out of the church than those who are in the church. You know, lots of these people in the church are deforme. They are a man with a short and long leg—they have plenty of religion on one side, but when comes to the other side, they In his concluding remarks the Court to John's pastor charged the Court to have sympathy with his pain, lift their feet from the mire and plant them on higher ground.

Steinway 131 West 57th street. the music was furnished by one of the floor uits of Deacon' Johnson's entertainers. A short sketch of the history of the AFRO-AMERICAN was by J. Le Count Chestnut, local representative of the paper. The program was supervised by A. D. Clark of the state and announcements were by H. P. Sampson, official emblem of WABC. The musical program was varied. Among the orchestral selections were "Night In June," and "Blue Heaven." The vocal solos were "Blue Heaven" by Mitchell Lewis; "Broken Heatred" by P. Addison; "Loves Old Sweet Song" by Arthur 'Strut' Payn; Wayne Talbert at the piano for W. Jordan's rendition of "Here Comes Miss Clementine." Arthur Gaines in a rendition of the spiritual "Go Away Moses," W. P. Tiller and Ernest Elliott handled the saxophone. William E. Cole, well known immanor, was at the piano as helper of the outfit. Mr. Chestnut had the following to say: "Ladies and gentleman of the radio audience, as New York representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN, a weekly newspaper owned and control by person of Afro-American descent, and published in Baltimore, I am happy to be present on this occasion. In behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Murphy, editor and our 250,000 readers. I welcome and sponsor this hour dedicated to the achievement of Mathew Henson, with the late Admiral Pearry, was among the first to reach the frigid washes of the North Pole You may be interested to know that the founder of the AFRO-AMERICAN, the late John Henry Murphy, originally a waiter and porter by occupation, when fifty years of age, found himself not only broke but out of a job and with his death, some thirty years later, he left one of the newsnaucers that ever served the people of his race and at the same time, this great country. Born a slave in Baltimore, Maryland, November 25, 1840, and set free by the Maryland Emancipation Act of 1863, Mr. Murphy, as a non-commissioned officer in the Civil War, turned in point in his life when, at 50 years of age, he learned the printing trade. Shortly thereafter he purchased the AFRO-AMERICAN, the paper which tonight sponsors this tribute to the intrepid courage of a man of Negro blood tradition. Matthew B. Henson, himself born in Maryland, near Balti- It is also interesting to know that the AFRO-AMERICAN is now housed in its own building, a large, five-story structure located near the heart of Baltimore's great business district. It is thoroughly equipped with all the most modern kinds of apparatus and apparatus, machines, machines, machines, which is canable of turning out copy in three colors cost over $50,000. And what makes it all the more interesting and inspiring is the fact that the AFRO-AMERICAN is the only Nerro paper in the world housed in its own building and wholly printed, edited and managed by persons of the colored race. Strange as it may seem, although the AFRO-AMERICAN is a product of a race traditionally supposed to be uniformly Republicans in politics, the paper is strictly independent; along these lines, supporting either Democrat or Republican in as the editors feel this support will be the best man in office. Its religious attitude, too, is of the greatest breadth. You may also be interested in know that the AFRO-AMRICAN believes that inter-racial cooperation is for the best interests of this country and to that end it advocates the following in its platform: Positively Relieves PAIN Sufferers from the sharp, knife-like pains, the dull, throbbing, continuous aches which accompany kidney troubles and liver affections, can find relief by putting on a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster. It will bring almost immediate relief from the terrible suffering, and will not interfere with but will positively assist any other treatment which your physician has prescribed. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster is not to be considered as a remedy in any sense for these organic derangements—your physician must be certified and his treatment taken for remedying the underlying causes. The plaster warms and soothes, and its medication at once begins to be absorbed through the skin directly to the affected parts. Its beneficial results continue as long as the plaster remains on the body. Be sure to ask for the Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. All drug-takers.

In his annual survey, he neglected the AFRO-ERICAN as first. Again in 1927 Mr. Gordon selected the AFRO-as first in news and general appearance. "Active at present in the management of the paper are Mr. Murphy's four sons. Two of his grandsons are in apprentice positions. The plant employs persons with annual pay of $83,000.80. We trust these bits of information relative to the accomplishment of just one Negro, born a slave on these shores, together with the pioneer work of Matthew Henson, may serve to emphasize the minds of hearers, that he is way of enlightenment the land of opportunity for all classes, creeds and races." Henson Talks Mr. Henson, a native Marvlander, in his initial talk over the air, traced the numerous attempts to drive the North from 1588 to 1899 when he and Admiral Peary made the first successful dash to the frigid wastes of the Arctic. Said Henson of the final, persisting si: that pressed on to this momentous accomplishment. "We were six: Peary, the commander; the Eskimos Oatah, Eligiwah, Sello, Quah, four in number, and myself. We night were the same. My thoughts were the same and getting forwards and on nothing else. The wind was from the southeast and seemed to push us on. The sun was at our backs, a ball og livid fire, rolling its way above the horizon in never ending day. "Commander Pearly and I were alone save for the four Eskimos, the same as we had been so often in past years, and we居所 each other, and we居所 each position; and we居所 without sneaking "at the time we had come for us to demonstrate that we were the men who it had been ordained should unlock the door which held the mystery of the Arctic. "Onward we forced our wear" way and on April 6 1909 we planted the Stars and Stripes at the North Pole. "Rises There." "Again it is an interesting fact that in the final conquest of the prizes of the centuries, not alone individuals but races were represented. On that brilliant day in April, 1909, when the Stars and Stripes floated at the North Pole, Caucasian, Ethiopian, and Mongolian stood side by side at the apex of the earth in the harmonious companionship resulting from hard work, exposure, danger, and a common object".

But there's no need for making it a HABIT. If you have the habit, you can be rid of it in thirty days. Or less! And this is how! The next time you go to take any strong cathartic — don't. Instead, take a little cascara. That's not a vicious drug, but the bark of a tree. The laxative made with coca, a child. It is, in fact, the one cathartic many physicians will approve for children.

O HOUR VAN VECHTEN NOW VISITING BROOKLYN Author Of "Nigger Heaven" In "City Of Churches" For Observation Purposes ONE "MATE" OBJECTS "Daughters Not In Show" "She's Quoted As Saying BROOKLN, N. Y.—Reports are current here to the effect that Carl Van Vechten of "Nigger Heaven" fame, is now very much interested in breaking into the 'African social folds of Brooklyn; presumably, it is said, for observation purposes. Since the "intellegentsia" of Harlem, and the so-called elite wine and dined him in preparation for his last best sellout, he is said to feel that they may be hope for new prospecting in the "City of Churches." An interesting story is going the rounds to the effect that he was taken to the home of one of our families over here, and despite his long and varied contact, with his brethren and sister Caucasian husbands of Harlem, he is reported to have expressed great wonderment over two young daughters of the house, who were Caucasian to all intents and purposes, "Carl" is said to have further expressed the desire to see more of the girls and to make a study of them, whereat the 'materfamilies' informed him that "her daughters were not on school." It is said that one of our racial group, a female teacher in the high schools of New York, is bestirring herself in the interest of promoting his social entrance into the folds over here. In this connection, many are recalling how a certain high school teacher in another large high school in one of our cities bestirring herself in the introduction of a self-styled student of Caucasian lineage who desired to make observation of colored girls—and also to take pictures.

November 25, 1999 Unless my eyes deceive me in my walks thru the streets of this city, some parents either do not know how to train their children or they are myself. Unless my eyes see the streets of this city, I can't help but include the children in the training of a child. The training of the children very largely upstairs. No day can child go to the street. No need, but his wants. Unless my eyes deceive me in my walks the streets of this city can be too dark to do so. I am not sure their children or they are letting the children train themselves. The training of a child should begin 100 years before. The training of the child that is to come depends very largely upon the training of the child today. No child can ever be trained properly unless he or she must study the child's needs, not his wants. The training of a child should begin 100 years before it is born. The training of the child that is to come depends very largely upon the training of the child today. No child can ever be trained properly who has his own way. You must study the child's needs, not his wants. Rosenwald-Dillard A gold medal for Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago. A gold medal and $500 for Dr. James H. Dillard, of Tennessee, Va. Awards were made at First Congregational Church, Washington, February 22nd at 2:30 P.M. by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes acting for the Harmon Foundation of New York City. The reason back of the awards was that the Harmon Foundation sought to honor two men for their outstanding contributions in improving relations between colored and white people in the United States. The Harmon Foundation is a Jew. He knows what race prejudice, even the he is president of Sears Roebuck company, one of the largest mail order houses in the world. Thru gifts of $25,000 in each case, he has made possible erection of Mr. C. A. buildings in Baltimore, New York City, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and other cities. He has other contribution to human welfare has been his gifts to build schools and homes for teachers in the rural south. There are in Maryland 107 such school buildings which Mr. Rosenwald helped to erect. Virginia there are 306, in North Carolina 656, and in the whole south 3769. Nearly a half million children are attending these Rosenwald schools—10,033 in Maryland, 3,715 in the north and 2,205 in North Carolina. For the first three hundred "Rosenwald Schools" Mr. Rosenwald contributed half the cost of construction. Under the present arrangements the Rosenwald Fund gives up to $2,100 for the erection of a school building and requires the balance to be made up by the parents, the interested white friends and the public school treasury. Here's how they worked out in 10 years since they were incorporated. Mr. Rosenwald now 65 years old gave $3,032,511 to the 3769 schools. Colored people gave $5,550,763, whites gave $784,861. County and state school boards to understand what that means, think this. Mr. Rosenwald invested $299,436 in North Carolina school children and $200,690 in Virginia school children. We paid $72,000 in Maryland school children. We dollars into better schools for these three alone, helped thousands of children he will never see, and compelled inter-racial cooperation and a changed attitude in the school communities. As a nofficial of the Jeanes and Stater funds Dr. Dillard has seen rural high schools in Dixie grow from four to 300 members. He said public appropriations have increased from $3,000 to over a million percent. He inaugurated the so-called University Interracial Commission in the South and helped to found the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Dr. Dillard is president of the Jeanes Fund which spends $160,000 a year in paying salaries of 302 supervising teachers. Dr. Dillard is the owner of the Phelps Stokes Fund which has made surveys of colored schools in America and Africa. It has also established fellowships in white colleges for the study of the Negro. Dr. Dillard is also a member of the Rockefeller General Education Board which in 1923 alone appropriated $2,702,168 for colored education. At some men retire. Dr. Dillard is busy talking all over the south for education and interracial good will. From time to time the AFRO has asked its readers to express themselves by letter, telegram or card to individuals who plan or perpetuate hostile activities. Mr. Rosenwald and Dr. Dillard are our friends and are friends of humanity. So help a line of cheer today. Say that with the Harmon Award goes the good will, the good wishes and eternal gratitude of colored folk everywhere in the land. Write—Mr. Julius Rosenwald. Cars Sears Roebuck, Chicago, Ill.

If it were Mexico or Nicaragua members of the race would be safer, for the protection of Uncle Sam's police force would be available. But Danville is farther away than Nicaragua. The Nicaraguanans are not quite so dangerous as it comes with a few events of the strange life of a Virginia town: In 1882 or 1883 Prof. W. F. Grasty, a graduate of Hampton Institute, became principal of the public school, and he is still head of the HIGH SCHOOL. During the "World War" tobacco sold in the Danville market as high as one dollar per pound Yesterday half for one hundred pounds, dollars and cigarettes still sell high; but the Marines are settling affairs in foreign countries and citizens have no power. Mexico is too civil to us, unless we know it. Danville Bank The Danville Savings Bank was opened for business September 8, 1928. The bank closed to $3236. Under the leadership of M. G.

(From The Pathfinder) "The word 'fan' in the sense of an enthousious baseball, football, radio or any sport, amusement or entertainment modern or ancient, is often a contraction of "fantic." Scarcely as often advanced by popular writing that "fan" in this sense is derived from the word "o fan," meaning blow upon someone. Some writers apparently came into general use sometime between 1880 and 1900. It is supposed with so season that it originated with Chris Worthington, a philologist, who the 80's Von der Ahe said that Charles H. was the greatest baseball fanatic he had ever. After that baseball enthusiasts were called fans, and it is an interesting fact that centuries ago "fan" is frequently used as a contraction of "fanin" in the literal sense of that word. The word "fan." in the sense of an enthusiast over baseball, football, radio or any sport, amusement or entertainment, modern fan, entertainment or "fantic." The theory, as often advanced by popular writers, that "fan" in this sense is derived from the verb "to fan," meaning to be a supporter, discredited by philologists. This word apparently came into general use sometime between 1880 and 1900. It is supposed to have been the name of the owner of the St. Louis Browns. Sometimes in the 80's Von der Ahe said that Charles Haas was the greatest, the best, the most enthusiastic and all enthusiasts were called "fanatics," which was soon shortened to "fans." It is an interesting fact that centuries ago "fan" was frequently used as a contraction of "fanatic." Afro Readers Say Afro Readers Say Readers may write on any subject they like.

To the Editor: While visiting a church on Madison avenue Sunday, I happened to be a bench neighbor and close observer of the conduct of two neatly dressed and apparently educated young couples, who entered very late during the sermon and left before the benediction, thereby attracting much attention getting in and out daily. I tried very hard to listen to the inspiring sermon and the excellent singing by the chair, but these rude people kept up a constant giggling and talking that annoyed all around them, not even bowing their heads during the consolation of the sermon. On inquiry, I found that these ladies were public school teachers of the domestic art and science departments of the local public schools and one of them married. I wonder how they expect to demand good conduct in their classes when they behave so rudely themselves in public? —HOPEFUL. Never Cease Objecting About Jim Crow Cars, Said Chief Justice Harlan. I think it would be worthwhile for you to keep standing, in a prominent part of your paper, the extract subjugated. Mr. Justice Harlan, of the U. S. Supreme Court, was a SOUTHERN MAN. This is most important to remember. In 1896, in his dissenting opinion, respect to the Louisiana separate coach law, other things, he gave expression to the following: "It is scarcely just to say that a colored citizen should not object to occupying a public coach assigned to his own race. He does not object, nor perhaps, would he object to occupying a public coach under the law were recognized. But he does object, and he ought never to cease objecting, that citizens of the white and black races can be adjudged criminals because they sit, or claim the right to sit, in the same public coarseness as citizens. The adjudication of citizens, on the basis of race, while they are on a public highway, is a badge of servitude wholly inconsistent with the civil freedom and the equality before the law established by the Constitution. It cannot be justified upon any legal ground." GEO. F. BRAGG, Jr. Religion is Blamed For All The Ills Of The People Day Blue Laws, Peonage, Lynching, Rape—New York And the South Constraint. To the Editor: For the benefit of those writers who have undertaken recently to defend the Bible against rational criticism, like to add these two recent issue. Mr. George Theodore Johnson credits Christianity with having preserved civilization. Christianity has never contributed to the economy, or to the military, or to the civilization. It has fought science unceasingly, it has caused most of the bloody wars in European history; it has caused death of millions in the Inquishment—from Joan D'Arc to the scientist Galileo; it has caused the destruction of mankind, continually harping upon what their white lord has done. His doctrines have done nothing toward the advancement of mankind, beyond causing blue laws, justifying Negro slavery, and helping to keep the religion is not and has never been responsible for any improvement in morals. If any protagonist thinks will, he please tell me why it is that they have so many lynchings, and that they have been wounded women in those states where religion is protected by law. In New York the people are commonly known to be less religious than Mississippi or Tennessee. And despite its irreligion it still maintains general superiority over these two southern states. The only function of religion is to keep the lower classes down, and that is why the whites have been cramming it down the Nebraska ever since he first landed on these shoes. LONDON KING, 1907 4th St. Washington...D. G. Says Eugene Gordon Made A Monkey Of Himself For Amusement Of Nordics. Editor of Afro-American: The article by Eugene Gordon on Negro Influence in the American Mercury is certainly the cheapest sort of advertisement he has ever obtained and at the expense of ridicule of his own race. It is supposed that he is doing this merely as burlesque and to please or "tickle the fancy" of his many Nordic associates. In his article we wonder just why he mentions the "Bachmar Club." No doubt he has received invitations to social affairs of other clubs. There are numerous social clubs throughout the country that attainment rank far ahead of either being a white or black Negro. Certainly, he is "poking fun" and ridicule at his own people—surely from those who still believe he knows better and is only in this article seeing Negro affairs as a form of entertainment and contact. We know Mr. Gordon will apologize for his burlesque of our women and their mode of dress—absolutely no different from any other race—matching shades of clothing with their color and not dressing as they seem in loud, gaudy and uncooperative shades. Let us sincerely hope that articles such as this appear in print and may we implore all of the "Gods that be" to stop so-called Intelligent Geniuses and their "keys" of their Race for the Nordic's Armament.

ISAAC CANNON, MHR By PALESTINE WELLS Up in Connecticut Clarence Kelium and Beatrice Fuller were married and the rest of America raised a farm. For over two hundred years those superior beings mixed their blood with ours without benefit of law or clergy. Well, here we are. Few of us today are without a jot of that patriotic blood and we did not so will. Now two hundred odd years after we intermarry in the North it stirs up a hornet's nest. "Mr. Charles should have been our daughter," his daughter looks with favor upon a Negro boy. Besides the boy in this case is 50 per cent almost white anyhow. One would hardly know how to deal with her. Mr. Charles, surely didn't confuse the dusky belles from that first ship with the girls coming over from European ports. Of course we are presuming that he wasn't color blind. In the case of course we can be sure that the threats of mutilations to defective vision. Sooner Or Later Seriously though sooner or later we will come to mixed marriages. The sooner the better for us. No, not because we are ashamed to race but because we are to protect race. Lynching is the result of one sided marriage laws. It is easy under the present system to fasten the crime of rape, indiscriminately upon a Negro.

Baltimoreans have been eating some mighty rotten food. To judge from the line of gab some folks hand out you would think they were raised on applesauce. A lot of people who think they are a frog, eat a small snail and if what people think is also affected by what they eat some guys are on a permanent diet. Of course, a ginkgo doesn't have to eat all his meat, good house fish or any fish more than a banker has to eat in a bakery shop to handle the dough. Contrary to belief there is a lot more mush served in the dishable when lovers say good night, than is served on the breakfast table in 'the Only a small portion of the shrimps in the world are found in lettuce salad; the majority of them teach sounding subjects in our best regu- Some folks are like hen fruit, you have to beat the devil out of them before they are fit to eat and you have to like coffee, you have to give them plenty of time to percolate. Lazy people resemble flapjacks they won't even turn over by themselves. A farmer carries his 200 pound sweetheart a box of candy is on reason for saying he is making love to a sugar-tender. He takes a strong place in our every day life. A young girl is a chicken and an old maid is a hen. We talk turkey and duck automobiles but not ains like they We have even invaded the barnyard. We put our money on the hores, sling the bull, put on the dog and a pair of calves have caused more men's dreams than all the apples we have developed big butter and egg men, sugar papas, sweetbacks and roadhats; and many a cake eater has no taste for pastry, whatever.

Promotions (From Postal Alliance) There have been about six promotions to formmanships, one to Assistant Superintendent of Mails, these are appreciated but in what they should be given we have shown that the per centage is to our advantage in special clerks etc, but what is the per centage in supervisory positions, what is the per centage in Chicago, New York, St. Louis and other larger In the cases of local promotions the postmaster likes to look for loop holes, chief among them is the information that the "colored client" all want the place on the map, not condescension or one man.

Laws prevent mourning or encourage exploitation of black women. Laws permitting mixed marriage everywhere would give a black man a chance to prove that man is not a black man who needs to find favor with him. Such laws would give black women the right to demand marriage of the white man who comes seeking her after dark. Justice is no respecter of race or creed. We should try to think of the union of this boy and girl as another person who will be successful. They are in the final analysis just two young people seeking the bluebird of happiness. We should hope the best for it for equal marriage laws everywhere. Harder To Get Husbands DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES There is one project about which Baltimore people must very soon have some serious thought and action. This is our Y. M. C. A. This institution, with its $150,-000 plant and capability of bridging a gap between talking and practicing religion, is being neglected by nine tenths of the good people of the city. Whether we know it or not, there is not a man, woman or child in this city that will not be in some way affected by the success or failure of the Y. M. C. A. properly carry out its mission new Baltimore. If you are a mother or father of a son, of course you have a vital and direct interest, or have a daughter, or have a mother, a daughter, you have or should have a direct interest in the young man who will some day marry your daughter, and consequently that the Y. M. C. A. may do for you. But somehow, not one out of every 100 of the leading men and women in Baltimore have an active part in the prosecution of this institution. Not one out of every ten ministers of the gospel are on its membership roll or visit it every year. The business of the business and professional men who must get their business and professional clentle from the young men it help sto mold, have any active part in the prosecution of this institution. There are 20,000 men and boys in Baltimore who should belong to the Y. M. C. A. for their own good. BUT THERE ARE ARE also 0,000 CHRISTIAN MEN WHO WOULD BE TO IT OUT FOR CHRISTIAN OBLIGATION. Likewise there are 5,000 mothers who for the sake of their own boys and girls, shelters for their own boys and girls. Y. M. C. A. is fulfilling its mission in every section of the city. In fact this should be Baltimore's next big job. It should be put on an efficient basis, This writer takes the liberty to suggest some examples. Why can't 200 of our leaders get together and see that Baltimore can boast of a well run city? Lilian Lottier, always interesting, went to see "Seventh Heaven" recently. There is something about this movie which appeals to simple human emotions—but Lilian Lottier has brought some change to the surface so vivid that we would her to talk about it in this column. I went to "Seventh Heaven" at the Regent last week, and if you didn't go you missed a rare treat. I came away tingling with the sheer sweetness of it—the simplicity, the naturalness, the whole-someness of it. Also, the refreshing decency, the big, fundamental truth of it. There was film without the ravishing clothes—there's only one dress in the whole picture that a woman would call a dress and that was old-fashioned—and the stately mansions, the lavishly luxurious, elaborately ornate interiors and exterior which are so dear to the usual feminine heart. Not one glimpse of the spindler or the sure and pleasures with which the rich fill their privileged lives. No Monte Carlo scenes to dazzle the eye and take the breath with the sheer amazingness of the mountains and equally burning tropical love from a picturequease, masterful, Arabian lover, and rather daring peeps into the activities of the desert, where the night life, no wild parties, no hectic cabaret scenes. No pandering brazenly, boldly, wholly to the sex excitation which sees the sun, just seer scenes, gutter scenes, lowly scenes! Just sewer life, gutter life, lowly life! And war—the unspeakable scenes. Just the hell that we know About. such as "Seventh Heaven." Doesn't sound enticing, does it? Nothing to take one out of one's self, to give self-forgetful enjoyment, is it? Well, go and see for yourself, and if you don't come out feeling thrilled and delighted and refreshing, you will miss my guess. Also, I'll be rather sorry for you, just as I am sorry for one who doesn't know gold from tinsel, a real diamond from glass, a real diamond from glass, a real sorry for one who always prefers the heavy smoke!aden air of night clubs to the invigorating breezes of the "wide-open spaces," and a band on a spree to the haunting, lifting masterful strains of a symphony orchestra. Glorious Youth Yes, I will be sorry for you if you don't just love Chico, and if you don't thrill to the simple, unspoiled, swagging, glorious youth of Chico, your house and his home among the stars. Chico, with his healthy young manhood somehow untouched by the muck and mire of the stars, with an engaging simplicity which tested out God and, finding Him wanting, so far as his simple philosophy was concerned, dismissed Him childlike naturalness and honesty. Chico, with his "big thoughts," his whimsical humor, and his abounding confidence in himself—a confidence not induced by the wild nature, but the confidence that comes, from a sense of the trump-phant power of that part of man which is linked with the divine, with him and which is nature, his matter-of-fact handling of a situation which most men would have turned to their own selfish and bestial advantage. Chico, with the sudden flaming, with him and which brought him back from the very jaws of death—back to Diane. If you don't fairly love this sewer-born bit of radiant, hope, and clean manhood and his star-ward outlook; if you can't work with him, laugh with him, clean streets with him, swagger with him, love with him, with him, and LEARN TO KNOW GOD with him—I am, indeed, sorry for you, for you have missed much. Diane Then, there is Diane—poor, little, h.t. ro-weaten, bitterly abused Thinking Seriously Or Our Y. M. C. A. Viewpoint "Seventh Heaven" At The Regent No Scenes To Dazzle Glorious Youth Saturday, Feb. 25, 1928 Diane, who rose to flaming heights of pure sacrifice when she shefed Diane, who wiped her starless plan. Diane, who wiped her doubtful past with one act of sheer love, past with one act of sheer love, and pure courage, and who later learned thru love the life of bravage and pure laughing among the stars in their thoughts, that they work in a sewer.

One, too, who hasn't lost all faith in the ultimate faith that faith has been amply justified in the door receipts. For, one must be blase and hopelessly sophisticated not to enjoy this life. Oh, there are those who won't dare admit it, those whose outward circumstances and daily occupation may be on a broad bouncer. And those who inner life are in Chiesa's sense. These will yarn behind blended thusiasm, but, dear folks, such hands and smile condescendingly will not persons really count. We have them with us just like we have small-pox and other malignant disease. WE TO CATCH THEM. YOU KNOW. So, go see "Seventh Heaven" at your next opportunity, and get a glimpse of some of life's sweetness and pureness and wholesomeness, and you will come out with courage among the stars and big "them" even the work in the sewer of human nature's sordiness.

Times) Caucasians and Negroes in this country are not on the same social basis. We are "batter" than the other; in fact, that word "better" is much abused anyway and may have a wide latitude of meaning. It may be that in some future world they will be on the same social basis, that they will never be here. Neither race wants to be. The Negroes do not want it any more than the whites. The intermarriage of the races is now and always will a sin against nature and against the social ideas of the best people of both races.

Won sometimes, but did no crowns, dost sometimes, Too his life, but kept going, Never let his courage fail. He was fallible and human. The former loved and understood— Both his fellow-man and woman. Whether good or not—so good. Kept his spirit undiminished. Played the game till it was finished. Lived a sportman to the end.

High" Revue. Cobb's company, which is headed by Mae Wilson, his wife, disbanded at the Roosevelt Theatre, Cincinnati, Thursday night after playing at a loss during the whole time on the road. The revue left here the latter part of October and played the T. O. B. A. houses as far west as St. Louis and north to Detroit. The producer laid the blame for conditions to the widespread unemployment and to the opposition of picture houses which offer fair entertainment for smaller prices. In Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago, and Detroit so many men are out of work that thousands are patronizing the bread lines instead of popular-priced revues, he declared. *Added to the small sums paid for the shows the producers are faced with jumps on the race circuit with individual fares running as high as $12.50. Lay-offs are also frequent. he stated. Only in the South are any of the shows paying any money according to Mr. John. Any the houses are smaller than in the West, but attendance is better and living costs are much lower. When asked whether he believed that the dull season would end following the presidential election, the producer expressed an opinion that the permanent betterment of conditions for race actors would come thru the production of more photoplays. The audiences will patronize the pictures because of lower prices, and the films could be shown in practically all the houses and draw bigger revenues for producers and actors, he said. Miss Wilson, the wife of Cobb, has headed a number of revues over the eastern, southern and western circuits. She produced the "Brown Beauties" last season. "Dink" Stewart. Baltimore comedian, who was among the principals of the recently disbanded show, went to Chicago following the closing in Cincinnati. Stewart will play vaudeville and work in the picture houses. Patti In N. Carolina GREENVILLE, N. C.-Anita Patti Brown, dramatic soprano, is giving recitals in this section with engagements which carry her as far South as Miami. Fla. She returns to the state of New York in May. Coming Photoplays Regent "The Woman On Trial"—"Prince Of Headwaiters Has a woman on trial for murder twice as much chance for acquittal as a man? Has a woman with a child twice as much chance for acquittal as a childless woman? These questions are answered in "The Woman On Trial", the Regent's next feature for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Pola Negri, known to thousands as a screen vamp, takes the principal role in the drama which answers the questions, for she is the star. The theme of the drama is taken from "Confession", a stage play by Ernest Vadja, Hungarian dramatist. The playwright shows to what extent a woman will sacrifice in the name of love. As Julie Morland, Pola cares deeply for one man who is deathly ill, she married another in order to secure money to restore the first to health. When her child by the loveless marriage is taken from her, the motherhood instinct comes to the fore and she begins the search for happiness with a vengeance. Local ladies who have become tired of bobbed hair can take a hint from Pola. In "The Woman On Trial" she wears her hair done loosely in a knot at the back of her neck, a mode of coiffure which reveals studied carelessness. In the matter of clothes there are several hints. Women who pride themselves on smartness of dress will want to see Pola's apparel. Four new colors, sunlight yellow, desert brown, rain gray and aurora blue, which will be in vogue this spring and summer, are used in the gowns worn by Pola. Although the photography does not permit showing of the clothes it does cover cut out corners of the smart costumes. In the wardrobe used in the film the ensembles come first. The star wears one crepe ensemble of dress and coat with natural lines. The color scheme is desert brown, and the garments are trimmed in mink fur. With it she wears a brown crepe hat and a chiffon veil. The shoes are brown satin with bronze buckles and the hose are nude. Among her costumes is a tea garden of sunlight yellow. It is made of superimposed layers of chiffon. There are two cascades of the same material falling over the shoulders. Her negligee is of Bvzantine brocade in royal purple, gold and silver, lined in fuchsia. The style is Oriental and the garment has wide sleeves. "The Prince of Headwaiters", a powerful caducei drama of fatherlove starring Lewis Stone, is the feature for Thursday and Friday. The play is taken from the Liberty Magazine story by Garrett Fort. Hundreds of Baltimoreans have read the story and will be equally anxious to see the characters on the screen. The plot involves the love of a father for his son, the love of a stern father for his daughter. Most of the scenes are laid in the Ritz Hotel in New York. Tell It To Sweeney "Tell It To Sweney", a farce comedy, will be shown Saturday. The Regent management has provided other selected comedies, newsreels and short subjects. The public gave a demonstration of the theatre's increasing popularity last week by crowding the house to capacity. "Seventh Heaven" was held over on account of the crowds that could not be accommodated on the first three days. Royal "Becky", "Very Confidential", "The Return Of Boston Blackie". On Monday and Tuesday, February 27 and 28 will be seen "Becky" with Sally O'Nell in the title role is one of the most interesting stories of the American Stage that has ever found its way on the screen. Little Miss O'Nell plays the title role of a little Irish Jewish shop girl who has an ambition to become an Opera singer butis discharged from the department store. She meets a very crooked crook. Through his love for the girl he is regenerated and it is until the heroine has ventured on the stage and in society that she spurs the hand of the rich man for the now regenerated pickpocket. The latest mode in sport clothing is one of the interesting features of "Very Confidential", the photoplay in which Madge Bellamy stars at the Royal Theatre for Wednesday and Thursday. Miss Bellamy's wardrobe is said to be one of the most extensive used in the filming of any picture. She effects 18 changes during the scenes. Sport toks predominate for the actress is shown as a vivacious miss who gets her share of fishing, horseback riding, hunting, aviation, and motoring. Interesting to women in Baltimore is her motoring outfit. The coat is of heavy white wool checked with narrow lines of brilliant green. It has raglan sleeves and is bound down the front with bright green embroidery. Underneath the coat is a simple frock of white crepe romaine with a snug waist. The dress has bands of green hand-woven material at the wrists and waist. A smart white felt hat, and dainty white kid slimers with high heels and straps of apple green, white kid gloves, and a white kid bag complete the ensemble. "Very Confidential!" is a Fox production and sets out to prove two things: that a woman can keep a secret, and that she can land the man she wants if she has the determination to keep everlastingly at the task. Madge is shown as a salesgirl and model in a sporting goods store. She has, however, an eye for better things and convinces the firm that she can dispose of its wares to fashionable society in winnable quantities. In showing the film hilarious comedy situations arise and continue to the merry end. The salesgirl (she's Patricia Murphy in the film) is forced into a thrilling auto race in cars geared to do 115 miles an hour with her rival for the love of Roger Allen, popular all-American halfback. She knows nothing about cars but anything must be utilized for love's sake. Patricia argues. There is also an auto race in which "Pat" is spilled. "Return Of Boston Blackie"—A dog tear, too, and Raffle. STORY VOE BINT KARA Boston Black gentleman crook, tuns his new leaf and goes straight in this film which play the Royal during the last half of the week, starting Friday. The photoplay is from the Cosmopolitan Magazine story by Jack Boyie. Raymond Glenn is shown as Blackie. A strange girl steals a valuable necklace. Boston Blackie, aided by Strongheart, his dog, uses his knowledge of criminal methods to regain the gem. Dunbar "Seventh Heaven"—"Old San Francisco" In selecting its list of big productions for 1928 the Dunbar management included, what is credited by critics and theatre patrons as one of the greatest dramas based on the World War, "Seventh Heaven". This stupendous epic by the Fox Corporation, will be shown Thursday. You can laugh· or cry whichever you choose looking at this picture. I cried more than I have at any film this year. Unlike many of the plays in which the brutal force of arms stands out predominately, "Seventh Heaven's" theme is that of elevation of the soul above drab and sordid surroundings. Chico (played by Charles Farrell) is a worker in the Paris sewers. He does not really belong in that class of people, however, for he lives near the stars. The action is deep yet clear. You see every page in the character's book and you like it. Janet Gaynor is in the role of Diane, a girl of the streets. She is saved from death by Chico when her degenerate sister fights her for telling the truth when a lie would have meant a life of luxury. She goes to the attic home of Chico to live in order to keep him from losing a coveted job as street washer. There the two learn that heaven is a mental state and has little to do with worldly possessions. with worthy people. Farrell beautifully characterizes the unaffected egotism of Chico. the atheist. Throughout the scenes he is "a very remarkable fellow", as the lonely worker expresses it. "Seventh Heaven" abounds in comedy despite its pathetic and melodramatic features. Eloise, one of the oldtime taxis of Paris, aids in the laugh making with the assistance of the driver. The war scenes include the saving of Paris by the taxco army when the German troops wore within 30 miles of the French capital. The French troops are shown going over the top, and the heavy artillery is seen in action. Liquid fire, one of the most deadly instruments of warfare, is used by the Germans and by France's infantrymen during the scenes. Some 10.00 persons took part in the production of "Seventh Heaven". San Francisco's Great Fire, the hurid old Chinatown and the almost gotten Barbary Coast come to the Dunbar Monday and Tuesday in Warner Brthers' "Old San Francisco". Dolores Coste:lo plays the part of a Spanish heiress who is kidnaped by a half-caste boss of the underworld, goes through weird and horrible experiences. Carey "Children Of Divorce", "Not For Publication". Have you ever thought about the inner life of sons and daughters who spend six months with Papa and six months with Mama, on account of their divorce? This social problem, which is engaging the attention of some of the leading students of human nature, is shown in a new light in "The Children Of Divorce", a screen play billed to play the Carey Theatre here Monday. JUST TRY IT YOU'LL All the things you have wished for in a face powder are offered you in BLACKWHITE Face Powder! BLACK AND WHITE Face Powder Exquisitely Textured work in "It," "Kid Boots," "Mantrap" and "Wings," is co-starred with Esther Ralston. "Children of Divorce" shows the impossible marriages and the ruining of lives among the idle wealthy class. As an added feature for Monday, the Carey management has arranged to show Charley Chaplin in "Sunnside." The old funny man is the all-round hired man in this comedy. He milkts the cows, cooks the meals, acts as clerk in the hotel, gets the kicks of the farmer boss, and falls in love in this picture. Children and even elder lovers of humor can find interesting features in "Sunnside." Ralph Ince will be on the screen Wednesday, February 29, in "Not for Publication," a romance of the West centering about the construction of a dam project. Ince is shown as the contractor who uses politics to accomplish his ends, though motivated by sincere ideals. The ingenious methods of a newspaper reporter in getting the story are depicted by Rex Lease. Others in the cast include Jola Mendez Eugen Strong and Tom McGuire. STAGE REVIEW ROYAL If you like snappy dancing and the peppy kind of singing mixed with a dash of sensational stuff, then you'll find something enjoyable in the "Dixie Vagabond," the revue holding forth at the Royal this week. In the matter of names it is a headache provoking task to determine from whence the monicker came. Perhaps the jesters. Roscoe Montella, Comsy and Simpson, are the supposed vagabonds, but cotton patches and river fronts are scarce in the scenes. In the matter of talent the outfit is fairly well supplied. Lillian West-moreland, who, by the way, was the queen of Africa in "Rang Tang"? goes over for a huge slice of applause in a duo-voiced number, and is well received in "Charmaine." Julia Moody, she of Ballimore Towne, sings "One Sweet Letter From You" and "What Will You Do?" with a husky appeal. Ernest Whitman offers a Spanish-type ballad, "Paquita", and comes back with "Baby Your Mother". Montella, Whitman, and Miss Moody offer the best bit in the show, a burlesque pantomine of love making. Comsy and Simpson step into some lively chatter and exhibit their wares in dancing. Paulina Montella, Hazel Lee, and Marlon Moore lead the chorus. The dames are excellent in their doll dance. Lilly Yuen, best known as soubrette and specialty dancer with "Brown Skin Models" in the past two seasons, has a trio. Lilly, Brownie and Perry. The team comes with a conventional line of stepping with Miss Yuen in one of those airy summer day frocks. She returns for a solo eccentric number. Perry and Brownie offer a wide routine which shows some finesse. Members of the chorus are Mildred Pritchard, Hazel Miller, Minnie Harris, Edith Oliver, Bernice Cameron, Evelyn and Minnie Plunkett, Jaunita Sylvester, Flossie Pleasant, and Delores Minton. Rosa Hostler, comedienne, who shifts from a male impersonation role to that of a burnt cork Topsy, heads her revue, "The Surprise Company," at the Star Theatre. Miss Hostler is supported by Rastus Murray and Sam Theard on the comedy end, and by Louise Redder as soubrette. Baby Doris Wallace, versatile little Baltimore miss of the tender age of nine years, is sometimes leading lady, dance specialty worker, and chorus leader. The chorus members are Susie Turner, Jessie Mae Turner, Bobbie White, Margaret Johnson, Tiny Marshall, and Frances Clark.

THINGS THEATRICAL THINGS THEATRICAL By OBIE McCOLLUM Mamie Smith Started Something When Mamie Smith, an Atlanta girl, went beyond the footlights some 12 years ago and had her "blues" cannel in "race records" she started something. In the short time that has elapsed since hundred artists, good and bad, have had their work preserved for future generations. Incidentally they have earned amounts which can hard- be estimated in dollars and cents but it is known that family larders have increased material source revenue. The weekly press benefit also by advertising of their wares. According to Billboard, a theatrical publication, ignorance in the South and West has helped the popularity of phonograph records. The record company who know little about radio and can't play the piano may buy most of the "hot" records. The "preaching" records by the evangelists and their folks are also being listed with the best. You may or may not like the "hot" records and may be unalterably opposed to ministers' canning their sermons and offering the sensationales at fancy prices. Or perhaps you don't like jubilee singers, who get much better break times and more for the big recording companies. But of Mamie Smith you will say, "she started something." British Citizenship Last week the daily press put up a howl about American actors not being wanted in England. Miss Alden Gay, white, according to reports from her agents, was kept from an engagement because notice of her appearance had not been filed early with the Labor Ministry. The American papers declared that the technicality was merely used to discriminate in favor of English talent. It is believed that the State Department will be asked to investigate the matter. As the race group is concerned all indications reveal that there is little national or racial discrimination in the matter of English theatricals. The Three Eddies who played with Florence Mill's troupe are still over there and plunging away. Layton, who have recently received for British civil clichery, James B. Lowe and a company of 40 are appearing before the London footlights in a prologue to the film "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Noble Sissie is working on a new revue which will use a half hundred americans. A scout or two other actors are acting in the British capital provinces. The English actors; who fail in their attempt to entertain will certainly be disgruntled by the advent and popularity of the foreigners. One daily has lately come out with a cable story, saying that the white actress was playing the home papers for free space preparatory to returning to America for engagements. Yep, Merrie England may be down on the Americans, but the dark contingents are apparently still 'sitting pretty'. Burleigh Singers At The White House WASHINGTON.—The Burleigh Singers, a group of sixteen, the outgrowth of the chorus of Negro singers who were heard from the Capital steps in 1926, and who also greeted Lindbergh last year in his return from Europe, were presented at the White House, Saturday. Accompanying the group, headed by Miss Virginia L. Williams, were Mrs. Marille F. Cook, former member of the board of education; Assistant Superintendent of Schools Garnet C. Wilkinson; Dr. J. Hayden Johnson and Robert N. Mattingly.

REGENT A WOMAN bares her soul before the world to gain the one thing she loves—her child! Drama that will hold you—tense! A picture that will thrill you—to the utmost! CHESTER GEORGE CONKLIN BANCROFT "KEEP SHUFFLIN" SAVED BY MUSIC Miller And Lyles In New Show Work Under Handicap Of 'Inferior Material By W. I. GIBSON PHILADELPHIA. — "Keep Shufflin'", the latest Miller and Lyles vehicle, while it inspires the plaudits of oftay reviewers in Philadelphia; seems to fall short of the previous Miller and Lyles productions. The singing and dancing are the outstanding features and there are some melodies in the score that you vehicle long after leaving the theatre. With all due regard for Messrs. Miller and Lyles, whose comic artives have won them a cherished place in the heart of the theatre-going public, it is evident that two master artists are here working with material that is of an inferior quality. There is a ragged creto, to itself, are one敏丽, and the atempts of humor, particularly in the first act, are brutally blunt. On the night that we saw the show, the audience, at least three persons occupying the orchestra floor, was composed of about 95 percent white. But how they enjoyed the show—but it was the dancing and singing again that they applauded loudest and longest. Honey Brown, mining about the stairs on her toes, drew a heavy hand with her ballet Charleston and vivacious, yet modest Billie Yarbough, with her eccentric dancing and interpretation of the Black Bolton, won the hearts of every one in house. And by the way, Billie, who you all know is not so dark, is the darkest girl seen in this show, the 24 prancers in the ensemble but of extreme grande complexion, who shapes that are revealing. They wore tights, too. Maude Russell and John Vigal do a nice turn in song and dance, Johnny doing a rub part throughout the show. Evelyn Keyes and Byron Jones keep customers calling with their strutting, diminutive Evelyn being in particularly good voice. Josephine Hall failed to impress us as doing right by her press azents, but was duly supported by Clarence Robinson. Ross Battles and the mute jubilee chorus get some emotional cheers, but it is dainty Jean Slarr, that the honors of the evening go, for this personable, cream colored maid, exuded rays 'IT' all over the house and with her coining voice, won top honors for the evening. Music is extremely catchy, the most popular numbers seeming to be, "Chocolate Bar", "How Jazz was Born", "Give Me The Sunshine", and "Harlem Rose". With the music and dancing that the show already has, it seems that with some brushing off attention, "K-2 Shuffin' could make hardened Broadway loosen up a little, when it goes there next week.

BOARD Mayor Broening Sends Appointment To City Council Monday FOURTH APPOINTMENT MADE BY BROENING Group Now Represented On Zoning, Jail, Charities And Jail Bodies Joseph P. Evans, barber and fraternal leader was named by Mayor Broening to a place on the board of managers of the Reform School at Cheltenham, Monday evening. Mr. Evans' name was sent to the City Council by the Mayor. Confirmation is expected by Monday afternoon upon book meets. Fourth Appointment The appointment of Mr. Evans to the Cheltenham Board makes the fourth appointment, made by the Mayor to boards under his administration since his election to office. Willard W. Allen was named on the Zoning Board to manage the library of Charities, and Dr. Howard Young to the Jail Board. With the exception of an appointment to the City Solicitor's office, which is expected to be made by Solicitor Kraus, and a possible vacancy on the School Board, all of the Mayor's responsibilities so far as the Republican administration is concerned, have been realized. It was further stated, however, that the Mayor is expecting to make some places for the rank and file in the municipal buildings. Is Lodge Man Joseph P. Ewes was for many years Grand Master of Masons. While on the Grand Jury he was a member of the committee which made a sweeping report recommending changes in management at Cheltenham, which has been under fire for several years. Some time ago Councilman Walter S. Emerson put through the City Council a resolution recommending a complete colored managerial staff at Cheltenham. For years, it is said, the place has been made the dumping ground, and as a result the real objective of reforming delinquent youth of the race has been neglected. WAGON DRIVER GETS DAMAGES John R.

LSON'S DRESSING JIM KEENAN IS BACK IN LEAGUE Page Twelve TWO BASEBALL LEAGUES MEET Hueston And Nutter Re-elected Presidents For Another Year UMPIRES TO ROTATE By W. I. GIBSON (AFRO Sports Editor) PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — With presidents Nutter and Hueston presiding alternately, the organization has counting 14 organized baseball clubs, the fifth joint sessions of the Eastern and Negro National Leagues swapping players and disposing of six matters, vital to both organizations. The league teams, with the exception of Harrisonburg, were represented while Judge Hueston held proxies for the Eastern, Red, Peds, and W. L. Wilkinson of Kansas City, held the provy for the Cuban Stars, of the Western League. Members presided over the provy for the first time since the bodies have been holding joint sessions. Two Commands The moguls decidegd that: 1. While the Board of Commissioners shall consist of the two league heads and the two in each league, only the per diem expenses of the former during the World's Series, shall pay the same heads in view of unfavorable weather or financial circumstances, be the final word in determining where the season ends, and be End Third Club. 2. The teams finish in second and third positions at the end of the season shall NOT participate in the Rotate Umpires 3. Umpires shall be related in their leagues during the season, responsibility falling on a head umpire to be named in each league when the playing school administers the playing Players 4. The clause of the national agreement reaching "No club may sign a palyer who has played all or part of the season IMMEDIATELY following, and may only sign him within one or the other leagues when he has obtained a release from the club for either of the other clubs in the league" to read "No club may sign a player who has played all or part of a season with a league club for either of the other clubs from the club with which he has played and all other league clubs have waived their rights to him". (This change obviates any loophole for the previous season, but who the previous season was the property of another club. No Gambling 5. Any owner, manager, player, umpire, or person directly connected with organized baseball, found gambling during the season, shall be assessed a quality of $100. 6. **Swing Around Circle** 6. The swing around circle. 6. The swing around circle suggests a joint meeting, suggested during the coming season, said swing to consist of teams in second or third position in their respective teams intending each other's territory during the regular playing. **Keenan Back In** Jimmie Keenan, owner of the Lions, was out of the league last season, due to his playing of Montalvo of the Western League, was rooted back into the Eastern League at a session later. It was due to Mr. Keenan's contentions that the words "IMMEDIATELY" following "were stricken out of the war arena" ment. "Lions' owner intended to use during the comine season, will under these circumstances go back to Chicago. The announcement to the agreement will be discussed later. Alex Pompey, who has brought Cuban baseball to the front in America, made a plea before the assembly, raided by both white and colored teams and since many "ood players" are signed in Cuba, even before they were allowed to play in the city in signing up Cuban players. A motion was passed wherein the two leagues agreed not to sign any more Cuban baseball. Mr. Pompey had completed his roster. Re: Elect Hueston During the foremonon the two leagues held separate sessions and the Western League relected Judge W. E. Hucston, of Gary, Indiana, this leader. He was on the floor frequently offering suggestions. The Eastern League in its separate meeting set $500 as the minimum amount to be posted in good faith at the beginning of the season by each own- 40. Game Minimum To be eligible to participate in a World's Series, it was decided as per the 1924 agreement, that 40 players should have seen the game in the series. President Nutter brought to the attention of the joint body that Cum Posey has expressed a desire to become an assistant coach and play their teams, but as yet has not sent in a formal application for such membership. Decision in the matter, should such an application be received for the two league presidents. Members Present Representatives of teams of the Western League included: O. J. Gilmore and W. L.

Jackson of the Bacharach, the Black Sox; Alex Ponuzes of the Cianan Stars, of the Eastern League, and Bolden of the Hildale.

The clubs number among the teams for their action the allegation that condition in the league ARE NOT SUITABLE. One of that league seems to revolve about the question of money. Another involves the matter of interpretation of rules and regulation of sports. SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE. Good old Howard Wright, wise and brainy pilot of the Baltimore Athletians, was approving, in an attempt to get the local basketleaders lined up, but when Howard heard discussions of how much money the OFFICER had to pay, he decided that the Athletians could do better on the outside of the league. Who knows but what his foresight is minded, which other club managers may have? Godfrey-Uzcudun On the third day of the week they fight—Goddfrey and Uccadun. If you understood me, I said THEY FIGHT, and I believe that these men are their sheiks' worth. If ever anybody did. Both boxers are castouts from the eminent Takesus Rickard's little handshaking tournament. The Tounne regime for mysterious resaons and Paulino relegated to the cold outside atmosphere while Jack Delaney, to whom the Basque key to warm companionship and warm companionship afforded by Herr Rickard. The bout should elapse anything the Rickard offered in his tournment, and the key to his intentions of committing some real pugilism n Los Angeles on February 28. At any rate the west is quite agoy over the event and is let exposed to get their money's worth. Both boxers box lightning joins at the end of their wrists and their leather-trading exhibition is going on. Advance reports. May the best man win, and we hope it's not the third man in the ring, whoever he may be. DeHart Hubbard A letter just received from DeHart Hubbard informs me that the winged Mercury flash is suffering a weak ankle as the result of improperly improves enough he will endeavor to make the Olympic team. With all lovers of the sport, we hope that Hubbard will be able to meet in the spring practice that he needs. Not that there will be any great danger of anyone's outjumping him, but because we want him to be in the spring practice he has done 6 previous occasions. As matters now stand Hubbard and Charles Major, of St. Benedict, soon to be joined by his assistants we for the Olympic competition. And Charlie, by the way, is also laid up with an ankle injury, which will keep him out of the practice square Garden. February 29. Majors ankle was lost last sorrine, and the old trouble has developed again. These star jumps take care of themselves and go slowly until entirely O. K. They are our biggest bets for the Greek games and should be up among the games when the final game made. The Preachers Have you watched those preachers? We're talking about the Va. Seminary basketball team, been going like a collapse this season, having dropped one game, and that to Morehouse down in Atlanta, to Hamilton, Montage, Morris Brown, Morgan, Bluefield, etc., and are certain now of capturing the C. I. A. A. team, so they can play as well as shout, but they haven't been observing the Golden Rule, as they have been observing how soon here now against the Morgan Bears. Now, there's a card for you. Down at Lunchburg, the womin from Morgan, who is now in Baltimore? Watch those presachers. Unknown Johnstown Mitmen Crave **Bouts in Local Rings** JOHNSTEIN, 165, and Ike McFowler, 160 pounds, both under the management of Frank Burk, are making a bid for pugilistic favor.

Once He Played.The Whole Game For Amherst Against Cornell And He Helped Howard To Bea Lincoln. J. LeCOUNT CHESTNUT NEW YORK CITY — Dwight Newport, veteran trainer of Amherst teams for forty years, once told you scribe that he coached the team in the backfield cog in the Purple and White machine of the "Lord Jeffs" for 1988 and 1989. He said the team, worn in moleskin and clad shoes for the fappens Massachusetts institution. At the same time your scribe, who has been looking 'em over for the past quarter of a century, and who saw "Big Ed" perform for the and White elevens of Howard University from 1909-13, said to old friend Dewey that he would go him one better and say that he considered Gray one of the greatest backs of all times, and in addition the Greatest defensive back ever produced by the great American game. H Time and time again when situations arrests defensive action, and all other Howard men on the elevator. Ed Gray men on the elevator, baffled. Gray it was who went unerringly and instinctively to the place where the play was to break and made right move to checkmate his opponent. He played a sort of roving secondary defense game. He stood a little back of his own line, in a calm, but intense battle. He opposing quarter had snapped the ball, however. Ed moved with such meticulous precision to the immediate attack that others might be doing, that his uncanny fathoming of the opposing eleventh strategy was equally as decisive. He crashed and hurtling through to break up the impending drive. Craftsmanshin Many spectators and hosts of lovers and followers of the Big Blue and White teams of Howard in Grays and the Fulton in Hilton grid hosts. This was the type of unostentatious and precise craftsmanship in football that did not excite the popular imagination. He played the opposite half, who played the opposite half, was Flood Terry, known as "Terrible" Terry, now a dentist in New York, and in his day one of the most colorful opus of the sport. He was a great institution. Observers in their enthusiasm for Terry's spectacular dashes, lost sight of the masterly and super interference of Gray who preached "cleared the decks for action"; and your writer means just that, for Gray literally swept all would-be tacticians out of the manner. "Thus even on the offense, he was supremely great in defense." N. C. High Schools Blaze Modernized Athletic Trail RALEIGH, N. C.-Within a period of little more than one year, 40 students at the school's campus held the president's leadership of President Collins, have reconditioned their athletic organizations, and n d agreeing upon the advantages of arranging a temporary territory and placing new emphasis on the eligibility of players and the certification of officials are hastening the time when each school will be able to transfer to L.

In fact, to revert to your scissor pal, you would stand the gaff". In these days of "cream-puff" gridders, and emasculated, mongrelized, half basketball and half football eleven, even bedded in sik pants would look like a cavilier in the land of Liliputian forward passes. rt'o lf" In the fall of 1808, when Gau play against Cornell, he gave one of the greatest exhibitions of his competitive prowess. He was practically the whole Amherst team. Time after time he smashed and broke the Red team's line. Again and again, he shot off-tackle, and ever and anon on the defense he broke up play after play, as he dashed in a demoniac fury of inspiration, the string incarnation of the football spirit. Sport writers of the great Metropolitan papers wrote reams of copy of his book, *Historicism*, and his sterling performance of the day before on the field "Far Above Cuyhoga's Waters". Walter Camp, too, pickled him for his mythical novel, *American Eleven* in this, his first year, 1908. Although football was Gray's athletic "piece-de-resistance", he also击台 at track work and in basketball. He played guard on the dushes and was on the relay team. When in medical school at Howard University, he played guard on the basketball team, and White basketball team that beasted of such other stars as Huddy Oliver, Arthur Curtis, Nixon, and Gilliam. He also played guard on the famous "Big Five", 1908-09, organized by Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, now director of the Washington Hi Schools. In explanation further of Gray's success in sports, it is interesting to note that he was trained in higher high schools days, he was trained in competition. He prepared for college at the Old M Street Hi School. He played basketball and did some track work. Besides he lived a little way out of the city, over in the nearby Virginia town of open. He was in early, to bed early and up early, being conditioned constantly during his most formative period by the mother of his father, "Mother Nature." Uncoubledly, this goes a long way toward explaining his power "to stand the gaff" as Newport says. On the athletic field as off, Gray on the athletic field. He seldom spoke save when it was absolutely necessary; but he fully lived out his ideas. He was a hard fighter, but a clean man. He was a generous, human-suited contestant. His was the nature of depth, sincerity, and singleness of athletic as well as human purpose. There was no babbling of the water, no splashing of the water, no insincere brook-like laughter over the rills of his firm pressed lips. He did not undue rejoicing in victory, nor were any inexperious in the bitterness of defeat. Dr. Edward B. Gray was born in 1888 in Lincoln, Indiana. He attended Northwestern High Schools, spent 1908-09 at Amherst College, and studied medicine at Howard University, 190913. He was a member of the faculty of his fraternity. From 1913-14, Doctor Gray served as interne at Kansas University. After finishing his internship, he went to Cincinnati where he started the practice of medicine. He is chief of the medical department at the university is also president of the Model Drug Company, which owns and operates a set of stores in the city where he resides. He is also a 32nd degree In 1817 her married Miss Carolynne Wilson, of Washington D. C. There is one child, a daughter, Carolynne who is in ninth grade.

Hale, a faculty committee at that school, nothing definite can be done until contracts with out-of-town teams have been returned. In view of the school board ruling to keep town high school athletic contests should be staged, the committee has written schools in Delaware, Maryland and Baltimore whether or not a playing time that will fall within the category provided by the ruling can be used. The committee, specific findings, said Mr. Callis, that the committee will then go to Mr. Coluburn and seek a modification of the over competitive athletics at Douglass. Practically Impossible Mr. Callis told the AFTO-AMERICAN that he felt sure that the schools in Washington and Delaware would find it impossible to meet the agreement as in most of these agreements, the schools in the smaller towns find it to their advantage to stage the games at night. As for the stazing of football games, Mr. Callis pointed out that it was necessary to accommodate any kind of a schedule under the present circumstances. Expect Replies Soon Expect. However it is likely be definitely shown that no teams in be booked under the ruling, competitive athletics as tough as football, basketball, and Raptors are expected from some of the schools this week and in all probability the committee, be more aware of the reasons to offer as to why the ruling should be modified.

Breakers Continue Winning Epidemic PALM BEACH, Fla.—Adding another game to their streak of wins, the Breakers nine answered a 1-9 victory in the last game of the season. Smoky Joe Williams was on the mound again for the losers, and held them hitless except for one win. The team cracked out two singles, which with the aid of an error, were good for the deciding run.

She meets nice people in Baltimore, but finds she can't get rid of Joe Liber仁, 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 man upstairs. Detectives invading the Frat dance when Luana and her husband love making reclaim her coat. Luana, hoping to be rid of Jo Libert仁 sends all his gifts back with a note I'm thru. Jo comes to Baltimore, calls on Luana and finds Dr. Masson treating her for gripe. CHAPTER XI Luana Lee sank back on her bed and made a mighty effort to marshal her strength. She needed it now. Her crisis was upon her. The two she had sought to keep as far as part as the poles were together—Dr. Masson and Liebertini. Her eyes were twin, glassy pools as she gazed at the apparition of Liebertini. How had he gotten her bedroom she wondered? Then all of a sudden the answer came to her. He had received the things she had mailed him, and, infuriated, he had come to their meeting place. Not being able to see her there, he had come to her home. Luana Lee shifted her terrified gaze to Dr. Masson, standing tall and grave at her bedside. She implored Doctor Doe. I feel all right, and I want your work any longer." in her. "I shall stay here until your brother comes," was Dr. Masson's quiet but determined reply. Terror gripped Luana. O, if he'd only go Go—before Liebertini began to talk. "Doctor. I must see him alone. Won't you please go?" Dr. Masson bent a searching look at Luana Lee. It seemed to her that he saw straight through all his hidden life. He said, "I shall be in the back of the house." He turned to Liebertini. His grave demeanor took on a shade of extra courtesy, but Luana felt that it hid a deep contempt. "As I told you before, she has had a bad time of it during last night and his morning, and though, she is yet so seriously ill, still she has consequences could occur from excitement. As her physician, may I ask that you talk no longer than fifteen minutes?" Liebertini made no answer—did not turn his head nor shift his burning gaze from Luana Lee's pale face. Just sat and devoured her like Bukadawin at Minnehahah's bedside. And Laughing Water, Luana Lee briefed her, and burned under his gaze. Not through fear of him, or her bodily welfare, but fear for her love of her life. Was Lieb going to kill the last spark of respect that he held for her? Rather than that—let him kill her. As the thud of the door told of Dr. Masson's departure, Lieb arose and strode to her side. "Explain," he said, and his voice was low and soft, but his black eyes burned as though a fire was behind them. He blood chilled in her veins. He was in a rage, she could tell a tearing rage. She had seen him like this before. She besoult him, "Lieb. I am sick. Let this pass today. I'll come around to the room and we'll have a long talk just as soon as am and I explain this note he "mead" this time in a slightly higher. "Explain that note and the things you sent." You're through with me, buh?" Luana Lee faltered. If she could only keep him quiet! If she could only keep him from yelling so that Masson would hear! Lieb was past all feeling or care for her sickness meant nothing. he was mad—mad! "Now Lieb, don't get excited. I'm not angry with you. You must stop the meetings. I am not happy. It's no good for either of us." "Your brother's religious influence, I suppose?" sneered Lieb. "No, it is my own decision. Lieb, be quiet, please. Don't raise a row." Liebertl laughed shrilly. He fell into mimicry-chattering. "That's right." he whined in his high voice. "Your lieb. Don't make a row. Be a nice little sucker and fade out gracefully. Take back the things you gave me, what's left of them, and close the door softly when you leave." The mimicry left his voice—he began to yell loud and clear. His swarthy face reddened. He caught Luana by her wrists and nanked her up to a sitting position. Do you think you can throw me down, do your me for you? "Think you can pump me dry, bleed me for years, then, when you get to going—gick me over?" good "Lieb, you know that's not true. I never did—" He screamed in rage. "You lie. You did." One look from those eyes of yours, those cursed eyes, one touch of your arms—and I wheedled every cent I could get out of my people to give you. You know it. Finery, jewelry, everything you drained out of me—vou— Liana covered her face and stopped her ears against his defiling words. She moaned, rocked back and forth, there was no stopping him now, no use in stopping him not to scream. She wheedled down her cheeks. Hemness tests streamed down in the bleach. With lightning like change Lieb was beside n's Price LOUISE CAMPER her, half kneeling, half lying on her bed, arms locked around her, his lips to her shoulders, her cheeks, her lips. He was crying himself. "Tell me, you didn't mean it, did you, Golden Girl. You love me, don't you. Nothing can change that?" She shoved him away, strained out his arms— "Yes. I meant it—it's the God's truth—I'm through with you and your kind of life forever." He snarled like an animal, gave an animal scream, leapt up, bore her up with him, dashed her back on the bed—again—again—until she thought he would knock her breath out of her body. She wouldn't call for help—Dr. Masson might come. She'd tried with the medicines tipped over, crashed, the noise shattering above and sound of Liebertini's wordless jabbering. "Lieb, Lieb, don't, don't for God's sake--don't let him hear you." She saw instantly that she had made a mistake in saying that. Liebertini snarled. "Yes," his is him, is it? Through with me so that you can marry him and be nice and respectable, huh? I thought you had something hidden. Want him, do you? Love him? "Yes," moaned Luiana Lee. "I love him. Now go ahead and kill me. Hurry up and get it over with." Better death than face Masson after this. Now him laughed, then stopped screaming so suddenly that the room seemed silent after the unproper. "There's no hurry," he cried softly. "I'm going to be nice and let you have him. Give him to you. But he's not ging to get anything my money bought." He leapt over and pushed down the latch on the door. It was a Yale lock, such as is used on outside doors, since it opened on a public hall. It was heavy and held like a bulldog's jaws. Lieb mumbled and muttered. "He'll get you, all right. Nothing else but you. You are enough for any man." He pulled out drawers, dumped their spilling contents on the floor, tore pictures from the walls, took up the silver encrusted mirror and hammered them to bits. He stripped everything, broke chairs, picking them up and hurling them at larger pieces. "Mature." He splintered the mirrors bringing them to the room, broke pigs, swept them and lotions from the vanity table, crushed the bottles with his heels, tore open boxes of powder, let the dust out into a great sweet smelling cloud that filled the room and settled on his clothing, making him look like some caraged Phantom. Perfume reeked through the room, over powering the door of the overturned medicine. "You love him, do you? Well, he'll get you!" He was cazy, crazy, thought Luana. She creaked under the blankets. She prayed to die. now Her movement caught Lieb's eye. He ripped the blankets from her, cursing, calling her vile names. A banging on the door, the sound of a steady beat with some heavy object. Dr. Masson crashing, his way in! "Kill me, kill me, Lieb." she begged. "Quick, quick!" "Don't worry." smiled Lieb. "You're going to the doctor." He tailed with fearful humor. "you'll need him too. He seized him down kilt, ripped it down with one strap of his hand, tore it from her back, threw it to the floor, stamped his feet upon it. "You won't go in my clothes." She watched him, terrified, paranyzed. Something flashed in his hand and came down across her shoulders, across her arms, her less, her hips. She held her ains tight across her face. A shaft of her hair dropped off. Wells of crimson blood pushed from the cuts, her hips shivering. He wielded the knife like a man wields a skin. It leapt over her body like a live thing. It fell across her back as she pivoted away from him. Crisz-cross, zig-zag— The hammering at the door continued and the panels of the door split. the doctor's coming for you." oried Lieb. "Don't you hear him? He wants you and he can have you, now." He grasped her by her hair and dragged her from the red soaked sheets. Opened the door, dragging her behind him as a butcher drags a carcass. Threw her at Masson's feet. "There she is. Take her. Ive had her for years. You're welcome to what's left. Take her!" Demonical laughter rose to his lips, as he teared Masson's white face. He stepped over Luann's body, jostling her so that she fell pro on her back, disappeared down the stems. Dr. Masson shuddered. Beneath the girl's left breast cleamed the silver handle of a knife. The rest of it was deep in her body.

The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md--South's Biggest and Best Weekly Home Education Home Education MRS. NESTOR NOEL Christmas day was over, with all its excite- ments, its glamour and fuss. I remarked to a lady whose children had been given expensive toys. "I suppose the little ones are feeling very happy." "Happy!" she echoed in disgust, "those children have everything they want, but they are never happy." What an admission for a mother to have to make! In contrast to this home, I could not help recalling one where the mother made each gift while the children were asleep. She was not strong, and she worked hard during the day for small remuneration. And she was the one who the oldest daughter hoped earn the living. Boots and shoes were always needed. When I called there Christmas morning, the children rushed joyously towards me, each showing the gift which mother-love had created so they should not be disappointed. Even the boys had re-wrapped their present in order to collect each carefully to show me the treasure within. Happy? Yes, these children were certainly happy. It is not expensive toys that make Christmas bright and gay. On the contrary, I think too many of these things rank with too much plum cake—the more they have, the more unhappy are the children. They cannot appreciate anything; they are so scared. I have seen mechanical toys strewn all over a handsome carpet. There were so many children that could not understand them and they were a force of irritation rather than pleasure. The parents, having been unusually lavish, could not understand why the children were unusually nauseous. On the other hand, I have seen children of wiser parents revelling in a few toys which cost little money. Everyone knows that little girls love dolls that they can hug to their hearts better than little stiff, unhuggable mechanical dolls which walk the floor and dance! These heavy, expensive toys are too big to be carried by a child must constantly be cautioned to be careful with them. There is little need to warn the average girl to be careful of the less expensive, huggable doll, because she loves it and wants to treat it kindly. Those who are to buy the children's Christmas toys need more wisdom than money. They need to know children in general and the particular children that they hope to make happy. As a general rule it is well to remember that children of all ages should not be a thing merely to look at and very expensive toys are rarely appreciated. A little study behind each child's gift will add much to the happiness of Christmas. Book Review BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON "THE FREEDMEN'S SAVINGS BANK" By Walter L. Fleming. Published by The University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Price $2.00. The story of the Freedmen's Bank is told by a scholar who fortifies his r.t with many footnotes, but whose contempt for the efforts of the Northerner to help the Negro, is a little too evident. The Freedmen's Bank was incorporated by Congress and its control placed in the hands of fifty trustees, many well-known business men, as Peter Cooper. A. A. Low, John Jay. The directors, however, were not personally liable, many never acted, some declared their names had been used without their consent, bank got into the hands of some officials, some drafters pure and simple. Incorporated in 1865 it failed in 1874. It suffered, according to Dr. Fleming, from poor business management; from neglect of duty by the more honest and capable trustees; from the failure of Congress to make an investigation in time; from the general business depression in 1873; from hostility to the bank as a race institution and as a connection of the Freedmen's Bureau; from dishonesty and incompetence the branches; and finally, fundamentally by the honest and corrupt use of its funds by the ring" of District of Columbia trustees and officials. The Negro was guilty of some dishonesty in the conduct of the Bank's business, but for the most part he was only incompetent, and many a white man's graft was put upon his shoulders. The final attempt to obtain Douglass was elected president. This was in 1874. After six weeks in that office, Douglass saw that the bank's condition was hopeless and secured the passage of an Act of Congress placing it in liquidation. Later, in 1875, 1878 and 1880 dividends were paid to depositors, of ten per cent. This was the same as done, though Cleveland in 1886 endeavored to secure the passage of an Act that should reimburse the depositors further.

Dances, card parties, theatricals and whatnot, all felt the pinch of Baltimore's indifference and their sponsors were at a loss as just how to resuscitate their waning cash boxes. And behold! The voice of Father Fitzgerald was heard crying out of the wilderness, saving let us build us a hospital and collect needed sums. The word hospitalization became the pass word of every get-ric-quicker, and every househop, shindig breakdown and whist party where admission could be charged; came benefits from somebody. Oh! Provident, what sins are being committed in thy name. Of course, it's not for me even to intimate that any of the funds thus collected under the guise of sweet charity are not being properly accounted for. I could not do that contemptible. Do you however, without a doubt, have successful contructio that if C. C. and his co-workers are getting all of the money that is being taken in, why I wouldn't be at all surprised if some sunny day, they don't abdain the Union Memorial proposition altogether and just walk over and pay him. Johns Hopkins Hospital and have it our money on Drudl Hill avenue for our approval. If I have been an old meanie and cast reflection on anybody who is on the level, and who is really taking part of his earnings over to the institution instead of padding the expense account until it eats up all the profit, then the leaflet that do is give me names, and hope that goodness and mercy shall follow him all the days of his life and he shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Abolish Chirch Choirs Abish Chirren Gloria The letter from my old friend Joseph C. Hamer, Jr., 21, Drusid Hill avenue, has remained unanswered on my desk for sometime. Joe's cooperation in putting over a "Down with old people on church choirs movement." A good sermon is all right. Joe contends, but good singing is the spiritual dessert with the religious repast. He likes good singing on Sunday, but he rates have his anthems good enough false songs good enough those birds long since lost their feathers, Joe informs me, and I take his word for it, that he has compiled a list of psalm yodlers whose molers have long since disappeared and who are on the verge of a nervous breakdown every time they attempt a note higher than low G. This list will be put pamphlet on our campaign to earnest and distributed her propaganda. Just to give you an idea how deeply the instructor of the movement feels I print this passage from his letter verbatim. "What sounds sweeter than 20 or 30 well trained young girls pouring out their hearts and joying? Nothing. What sounds worse than 20 or 30 poorly trained old men and women pouring out their hearts' and souls in inaudible, inarticulate discords through false teeth? Noting." So there, you see, how a Hamer girl sees you. I go him one better, and suggest that we abolish choirs altogether. Choirs are the one thing in the word that bring about marital discords, cause husbands to war against, wives, sisters against, brothers, mothers, fathers and wives, happy homes and the members insist upon practicing in the home. All persons interested in this great humanitarian movement will kindly mail all checks.

It is the city where no other city can produce on a moment's ice quite so many members of the clergy who think they should be bishops. Just what qualities a right reverend is supposed to possess I am a little in the dark, but what qualities a bishopric our own African Methodist Episcopals are "broke out" all over with it. The Rev. Harold Steptuean and Dr. C. F. Stewart have it. The Rev. M. H. Davis has it, and a lot of others think they have it, but they aren't proclaiming their virtues quite as well as these three gentlemen of the cloist. If bishops are really chosen by the hurrah they kick up, and I am inclined to think they are, it won't be long now before Bethel, Trinity, and Waters A. M. E. congratulations will be given to those far less holier and less congratulated individuals than now expanded from their respective pulpits. Baltimore is to the bishopric what Virginia is to the presidency. We have sent more men to this cleared office than any other municipality in the country. Baltimore Galines, Payne and others whom it can't recall, stepped out of Baltimore into omnipotence. Whether it is because we have better men, better preachers or better politicians, it cannot say, but I do know that our unadulterated scooter is an even more enlightened enough to say that you will even have to pull a few strings to get a decent place in heaven.

Government Aids Merchants To Learn Bookkeeping BUSINE A WEEKL Co Information Bureau: This o ng, business opportunities stock Government Ai To Lea (ANP).—Many merchants, through no fault of their own, but because of the misfortunes of youth which denied them the training, and many others because of their earlier mercantile days did not realize the need, are without the knowledge of a system of expense accounts for their business. Federal Trade Commission of the United States Government in an effort to relieve this situation, released, "Printing Office," a pamphlet entitled, "A System of Accounts for Merchants." The volume is a simple and easily understood explanation of the small business accounting for the small business organization. Without the proper cost accounting system, the merchant is unable to conduct his business without the knowledge, largely price the goods he offers for sale. Neither is the merchant without an adequate book-keeping system. The merchant should consider with his bank. Even though a merchant be successful, if he has no records with which to verify the fact to his bank, he is regarded as a poor credit Banks insist upon knowing if a merchant is making a proper provision in his everyday life, such as buildings and fixtures. The accounting system outlined in this publication, and which is used as a reference in the library of the Domestic Commerce Department and Domestic Commerce for the answering of inquiries upon the subject, is so arranged that by following it, overhead may readily be ascertained, proper permission for the cost may be known and the Turnover determined. But four books are required to operate the system. One needs a book, a tool, and a ledger. The use to which each of these should be put is ably described in the pamphlet. So is the making and use of sales tickets, monthly summaries, profit and loss There is an explanation of the cash on hand and in bank item, the notes received, reserve for bad debts accrued, interest earned, property property, reserve for depreciations, store and Sales allowances. Those are but a few of the 45 items that enter into the system. The Bureau of Business Administration assisted the Government agency in preparing the instructions contained in the letftet. The adoption and use of the system is recommended by the DoD Commerce department, and members who already installed a system of some good sort into their business activities. An inquiry from either of the government agencies mentioned above, or a publication that is so certain to prove a boon to many.

In the swine world the removal of the hairy adornment by submission to the trusty blade of a tonsorial artist has always been taboo. On the contrary, the possession of smooth swine skin is the elephant of the swine world is indicative of health and vigor. Just do not forget this one little point when buying pigs in the future. If the animal offered you swine skin with hair, rough and dead looking, it should arouse your suspicion that the animals are unhealthy and not what you want for your hog lot. About 100,000 hog cholera in Maryland each year are caused by the purchase of hogs which have been exposed to the disease. Do not purchase any swine or permit such animals to be brought to place in the farm to know the condition of the hogs on the farm from which they come. FLA. COMPANY DID $1,000,000 BUSINESS FLA.

Among the interesting memoranda on markets that were recently sent into the Domestic Correspondence of Foreign and Domestic Commerce is the pamphlet entitled "Some facts concerning the Norfolk, Va.. Negro Journal", compiled by the Norfolk Journal Publishers and published in Norfolk and circulated in the Tidewater District of Virginia and North Eastern North Carolina. The survey includes Eighteen counties in the state as publishers as the trading territory of Norfolk. The Negro population of these counties is 360,368 and the purchasing power of the group, according to this survey, is $45,157,397 according to the same authority; savings deposits of $50,000,000,823 percent of literacy is reported." "The city of Norfolk has 64,000 Negro consumers" states the chapter devoted to detail concerning the challenges of families being home owners. This it would seem is an excellent showing for any community or population group, the figure suggests, one the greater significance to those interested in that market."

BILLY, MD DR.BUILL'S CoughSyrup STANDARD FOR FIFTY YEARS 309 FOR CHILDREN FOR CHILDREN UNEMPLOYMENT WORST SINCE YEAR 1923 WORKERS MOVE FROM ONE CITY TO ANOTHER NEW YORK—"At no time since 1923," says a recent bulletin of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, "has unemployment so greatly affected the country as at present. For colored workers, who are frequently the first to be discharged the single most important and a disproportionate number of appeals to relief agencies. Detroit appears to be the only exception" of the large cities that reported improvements for January. One office in New York has out of only 186 Negro men and women out of a total of 2177 applicants. The Department of Public Welfare of Philadelphia reported the most depressing period within the past ten years. New York, where unemployment has disturbed the whole state that the government has asked the state labor commissioner for a report of conditions, "is experiencing one of the worst employment-it has known since 1921. Charitable organizations are receiving more calls from jobless people than at any time since the war. In 1921, the number of Negroes was regarded during the month of January as "quite critical," and unemployment mounted during the month. Business of Negro Workers "From Los Angeles to New York and from Boston to Tampa, reports show that the restlessness of Negro workers move from city to city, is one of the perplexing problems social agencies face. Through the middle west there is a continual movement of Negroes from Detroit, Chicago and Milwaukee. Between Indianapolis, Cincinnati Columbus and Pittsburgh the restlessness is quite evident and in all cases more stable resources to support. Negroes faced with long periods of unemployment, there is also an unusually large number of incidents of wandering from the creative place. "In Pine Bluff, Ark., a mass meeting was held which was addressed by an editor, a lawyer and a banker representing, and a dentist and a dentist, representing the colored people in the community, when emphasis was placed upon improving the occupational opportunities for Negroes. Negroes were served for a living wage, jobs as drivers, porters, etc. which are now given to whites, although formerly were given to Negroes, and for better pay for women in the workforce, they can not keep clean and decent." The Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis conducted a four-day industrial institute to stimulate public thought on the matter of the low economic level of Negroes in that The St. Louis Urban League carried on an intensive week's campaign when employers were interviewed, meetings were held, and workers were delivered on the point of widening the occupational field for male and female workers. The occupational committee of the Cleveland Welfare League began to crystallize sentiment in favor of zero workers with the public. utilities. New Jersey The New Jersey Urban League, of Newark, inspired the training of colored applicants for appointment as policemen, one of the first to be appointed in Lansing, Mich., where conditions were reported at a standstill, a group of Negroes appealed to the Community Welfare Fund to institute some organization of the public the failure of employers to hire Negroes. A group of colored workers in Harlem are seeking to organize a Negro Federation of Labor, hoping to secure jobs for skilled workers at a standard wage. Evidences of Progress "In Akron, Ohio. Mayor G. Lloyd Well appointed three colored officers in the Municipal Building, the first to be so employed. A Negro member was appointed at the new Real Theater in Chicago, where the total number of colored applicants is to exceed 100. In this city also, stock girls entered a loop shop for the first time. Tampa A report from the Tampa Urban League states that since Christmas more people have been placed in domestic service than in preschool. The membership fact is that there has been a slight increase in pav. Louisville From Louisville. Ky. thirty men served in Florida. In Winnings-Salem. N. C. building workers, particularly carpenters and bricklayers, were employed in large numbers in January. Unions It was revealed that the American Federation of Labor is holding weekly meetings urging Negroes to join the union, and that the Reynolds Tobacco Factory is discharging those who join. The Los Angeles Urban League reported that their members are cent during the month of January.

GOOD MORNING JUDGE Modern Zaccheus Gets In Dutch Zaccheus climbed up a Synecant tree back in the Bible days and became a historical character. Times after times, though, James Brown, 1114 Muberry street, learned when he tried a similar trick. Friday night. Brown urged by far different motives than those moved the original Zaccheus to climb a tree. Police were notified that there was a man climbing the tree and upon investigating found Brown climbing to the topmost branches of a tree near his home. He was arrested the modern Zachariah to come down, he could give no reason for his acts other than the fact that he was full of spirits and was feeling good. He was fined large and costs for disturbing the peace. Corn Liquor Makes Strange Bedfellows One of the greatest equalizing a agencies in certain atrata of Baltimore society, is corn liquor.

One drink brought another and finished the drink easily the worthy plair became more uncertain, more wabby, more loquacious, more friendly. An hour and a half later, and clapping, his arms about his body to warm himself was surprised to find them lying side by side in a gutter unmindful of the temper of their firesides. The two, sleeping soundly were re- faced by the sound of a car where they were fined one dollar, each. "She tried to take my sweetie," declared Mrs. Edith Porter, 912 Carroll avenue, when she. Margaret Taylor, 912 Taylor and John Page were held at the Northwestern Police Station, late Sunday afternoon, on a charge of assault, disturbing the peace and disobeying. According to Miss Carter, she. Taylor and Pace were on the second floor of the Fremont avenue address having a car accident and being up and demanded an explanation from her recording Taylor. It seems that Miss Carter was not given time to state her case before Mrs. Taylor, her down and a free lot took place. In the fight someone kicked, slapped and cut Edith. She preferred charges against her. Mrs. Taylor was hailed down to the station house. Monday morning, Edith Porter and James Taylor were fined $5 and costs, while Margaret Carter and John Page were dismises. MISSING PERSONS MISSING PERSONS BUY NOW!
