IS INSULTING SLUR Cites Negro Percentage In the World War WASHINGTON—The race issue was raised in connection with the measure before Congress, aimed at conferring the franchise on D. C. residents, when Theodore W. Noyes, publisher of the Washington Star, told the House Judiciary Committee that the assumption that the 25.1 per cent negro population would constitute no menace if the measure was passed. Citing the fact that the Negroes were represented in the World War by a greater percentage, he stated that no element in America has, since 1870, shown greater progress for racially mixing illiteracy and in industry and thrift than the Negroes of the District. Noyes denied Negroes would hold the balance of political power, and then quoted statistics to prove his assertion. If Washington had the 25.1 percentage, he said, then many other cities also are unfit, including Norfolk, with a Negro percentage of 37.5; Richmond, with a percentage of 34.5; and Baltimore, with a percentage of 21.6; and Baltimore, with a percentage of 14.8. He pointed out that Washington's Negro population has been decreasing for 50 years. In not one of the fourteen precincts here, he said, are Negroes in the majority. The assumption that the quarter population of Negroes politically will diminute the three-quarterly whites, he said, "that one Negro is politically stronger than three whites, inflicts a greater burden upon the 400,000 whites of the District today." "The assumption that the Negro is so hopelessly and incurably for the Negroes is a quarrel element of the population, he infects with his unfitness the whole community undeserved and insultingly stirs the Negro of the Recorder of Deeds Asked Why.

PREXY'S VIEWS "Chronicle" Applauds Forum Address. Eugene Gordon Condemns. CHURCH HAS FAILED SAYS DR. JOHNSON Races Cannot Worship One God Together Without Feeling Discomfort BOSTON, Mass., (Special)—Boston is divided over the address of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University before a monster audience at Ford Hall, Sunday night of last week. The Howard president's subject was "Conquest of Prejudices". Commenting upon the address the Boston "Chronicle" says it was straight on the shoulder and without compromise. "Gavillers whose warped minds tend to misconstruce may attempt to pleak flaws, but their minds welcome the intellectuality of the head of Howard University" said the chronicle. Eugene Gordon Condemns Eugene Gordon, an editor writer on the Boston Chronicle, referred to Dr. Johnson as an "excellent Baptist minister", Says Gordon further. "His value as a university president is to be doubted. In answer to the question as to whether the colored man in Americ could not gain confidence in his own life, by realizing that the men's claims to superiority are a bluff, Dr. Johnson asserted and in hesitating lost now an admirer. "He thinks it better that the black man go his accustomed way trusting in God and being wise in white and that way prejudice against him will be broken down." Trotters' Question Monroe Trotters, editor of the "Guardian," asks the question "What Negroes seek only those places among white people where they are sure they are wanted and will be welcome." Negroes maintain their rights to all public places regardless of whether they are wanted or not, or should Negroes build their own institutions where they are not wanted. President Johnson replied that Negroes should develop in two directions in the same way, that they should be made by whites and should fight and content for the rights to all public places, whether he were wanted or Church Has Failed The church itself has failed. Dr. Johnson said. People of different races cannot worship one God together without feeling uncomfortable. "The Negro formed his own church in America because the white pupils was so frozen he couldn't believe the Lord sent it to him. A Negro goes to Africa to raise a million heathens out of savagery but when one of these one-lime heathens moves into a so-called Christian wylee, from him. STAR EDITION Fair. 6:14 Colder. m. m.

OVER TAKES CONGREGATION TO NEW CHURCH Split Materializes As Adherents of Pastor Follows to New Edifice. FINANCIAL AFFAIRS STILL IN BALANCE Faction Opposing Pastor May Find Selves Hold- The threatened split in Union Baptist Church materialized Sunday morning when Dr. David Over led a large portion of the regular Sunday congregation to the Stone church at the corner of Edmondson and Fremont avenues, where services were held morning and evening. This church edifice which was bought several months ago by Thomas Smith, was hurriedly gotter in order Saturd- and word sent around with the effect that at both the morning and evening sessions the auditorium was filled. Called Protest Dr. Over in his morning sermon made a prepared statement in which he said that the pastor was a protest against conditions existing in the Union Baptist Church. "When," he said, "so-called church leaders will deliberately hire men and women from the street, who have no church membership to participate in church meetings, so as to enforce their will upon the congregation, the benevolence of honor, the faiths and decency have but one course left. That course has been taken. If these people here come together, many will hold membership in Union for a lifetime and know no other church, find it necessary to effect another organization, they propose to do so on principle." Among the five reasons for the action of the members, Rr. Over stated the following: They want a church where the Spirit is present and guide in all procedure; a church whose fundamental rule of conduct is morality and right living, with the principle of equality and the care of the size; a church whose aim is the exaltation of Jesus Christ in the lives of those who are called His children. Will Carry On The present plan of the Over faction, it was indicated that they carry on the Union Baptist church for the present. Technically Dr. Over is the pastor until the expiration of his tenure of office more than two months hence. The Union Baptist voted him out also gave him three months' vacation with pay. Shortly after this meeting, the deacons met and the pastor his pay and devotion was given. The time voted a check of $1,500 to be paid on church building at Madison and Adlaiette street. Members of the faction opposing the pastor say they expected that it will loom up in some way in the pending suit in which Union is being sued for specific performance on a contract to purchase the Madison store church. Holding The Bag Holding With Dr. Dennis the majority of his deacon board and the special committee sent out to make-plans for the new church, standing with the owners of the white church in the matter of the contract the deacon erected the trophies who will lose their case and be found holding the bag. If the white owners win, the effect will be to force the sale which will hypothetically increase the structure as collateral against the purchase of the Madison Avenue church. Under this contract, Union is said to have agreed to pay $2,000,000 more than the bail-when the Drudg Hill Avenue church is sold. Director Francis M.

"I believe there is nothing different in convention times than in the usual case. I suppose Negroes desiring to visit white delegates in their rooms would be denied the hotel facilities as usual. When the convention was solicited, we made it plain that Ne "Taffy Girl" Loses (Continued From Page 1) She is 35. She is 60 stout, white-haired, spectacled, immaculately dressed. She was presented by Richard Carey, and five associates, all colored. Curtis attorney was restive during her testimony. But she was quite happy about it. As Mr. And Mrs. Brown Curria, she testified, saved her in 1900, when she was 17, from being run over by a truck. She said they strolled and tea had, followed for a number of days by clandestine hiding, and reaigned a four-room apartment in W. 94th street, which he furnished, and where they lived as husband and wife. At his suggestion, she went on vacation, known as Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown. "You are my wife and I am your husband," she quoted as his ritual of marriage. He told me he loved me, and I said he loved me, and went toward the defendant with the query, "Ain't that right Harry?" "Harry, who was not on the stand, and not answering questions, was silent." He hugged and kissed me, she recited "He called me darling Ernestine." Again she sought his confirmation and again he held silent. "When America entered the war," she testified, "he said the German man we had wired we had to move where there wer a lot of Germans so we wouldn't be in danger. He got a beautiful dress and wore it there with colored men. The physician he called to attend us knew we were man and wife. He then introduced him as my husband and he acknowledged it. Ain't that so, Harry? Harry was still not on the stand and still remained still. Got $2,000 A Month "He was very kind. I got $3,000 a month from a trust fund he made for me. He filled the house with candles and mums." "He said his relatives complained about his living with a colored woman. He told me he told me that." "I went to the Hotel Devon in New York one day to see him. He saw me talking to a colored bell hop and awakened me out for talking to him." $250,000 Trust Fund In preliminary court actions, Curtis was said by the woman to have filed affidavits admitting a trust fund of $250,000, which he revoked on discovery that she was spending his money on a trip to Paris with a colored sweetheart. He charged her with being a blackmailer, gambler and drunkard. Justification for $250 a week alimony and $20,000 counsel fees pending trial. 66 Love Letters A total of sixty-six love letters were identified as from Curtis to Letta, some from Letta to Curtis, and some from a man named Patton to Letta. Weeps as Letter Is Read One alleged letter from Curtis read: "You are constantly in my thoughts, I love you. It seems hard that I can't see you tonight. Good night, sweet.

While their white colleagues are to be taken care of in the big hotels of Kansas City, the plan is to move them to the M.C. A. and similar quarters, and they have sent a delegation to Chairman Butler to tell him that they will attend at a Republican convention, where their votes count as much as those of any other delegates. They made the master plan in conference room at the Washington, National Committeemen Ben Davis of Georgia and Perry Howard of Mississippi who were being debated whether the convention was to go to Kansas City, as Chairman Butler proposed, or to some Northern city. They stood out because they were given assurances that there would be no color line. So Color Line In Cleveland In the same same accommodations as the white members of the convention. They were in the first class, that is, and even in St. Louis they were treated with the consideration usually accorded statements on these occasions. So they were promised the no discrimination in Kansas City. They discovered the promise was not being carried out when form letters were sent to the national committee. Glasson, notifying them that hotel space had been allotted to them for the delegations from their respective States. Each commissioner was reserved at each denominated hotel for his delegation. The stinger was in an added paragraph to the effect that the question of color was not the "Local Committee" on arrangements which he, no doubt would provide for them at the Negro Y. M. C. A. and private homes. Fifty-six chored delegates already have been selected in the South Eleven of the Georgia delegation of sixteen delegates from Georgia, Carolina and Florida all have Negroes among their representatives at the National Convention. Lettia wept when that letter was read. "I am so sorry." I was so devilish when I am always so sorry afterwards. But then you are pretty devilish, too, and so you make me worse. I have been thinking about you so much since I left you. dear, I have been a strong, loving feeling for you." Darling Letty "My darling Lettie: I have had two sweet letters from you and you are constantly daring me to throw in unchanging love. It does seem hard that such things are so to do. I cannot see you as I want to see February 15 on the same ship as last year. Write me after now, Letty. darling, and I was not able able to see you. Good night, my sweet darling girl. Lovingly, Little Bit Of Love Holding a batch of letters in his hand, Steuer turned suddenly toward Lettia, who squirmed a bit uneasily in her chair. "Do you write love letters to different men at the same time?" Steuer demanded. "What wants to know?" she countered, politely. "Are you full of love and sweetness? You stewed continued. "Not too much, just a little bit." Has Her Reply Taffy Steener picked up another missive and read: "Honey, I love you so good every night or cry myself to sleep if she did if her didn't have you no more." Wonderful Woman "I feel well, that I don't want to be your cross," she wrote in another letter. I don't want to stand in way of your freedom and happiness. ness. If we were the same color Mrs. Brown smiled again. shook her head enthusiastically, and com- mandered, a wonderful woman he, so, he, so, kind. Gave Much "You just left me a little white ago, I was sorry, so could have stayed until Monday. You gave me so much yesterday, I was sorry, so I don't know it. God will bless you a hundredfold. I asked Him and He always answers my questions." "Great Stuff" She admitted a letter to Curtis, in which she wrote: To begin with. Hon, let me thank you from the depth of my heart for the presents divine you gave me. few minutes with you are like heaven. "I am not blind to the fact I love you," she wrote another time. Steuer was moved to inquire whether she wasn't a very good author for a book, and responded with a tone of pride: "I didn't know I was so capable as to write such great stuff." He stifled the laughter that resounded. Body And Soul Steuer presented further letters from the woman to prove she did not consider herself Curtis's wife. One of the letters said she was getting down and married, her wife. She admitted this letter to Curtis: "Now, honey, as I have always told you, whenever you find someone as a wife, marry her." Again she wrote: "I love you more than the world will ever know me." Mairi: She told of being born in Florida and of being married at Port Tampa when 14 to a colored man now dead. In New York in 1919, he met Melon the extent of their friendship was so slow of reply as to impel the court to admonish her against the delays. Gave Money To One She told her with a man named Gerland Patton and sending him money. Curtis says this was money he himself gave the woman. She confessed that she knew her husband. She agreed, named her in an alienation of affections suit while she was still living in Freeport, L. I, as Mrs. Harry Brown. She testified confessing this to Curtis and said: "He forgave me." She admitted Patton talked of Curtis to her as "the monkey man." 'Never mind your heart' leave your heart home, chided Steuer, who apparently has small us: for mental fiercenly alone. "In part I was," confided Lettay, "Kisses Aplenty, She Say: "Kisses I Appreciate? What she was asked by her lawyer, Richard E. Carey. "He was kissing me all the time" and calling me his darling Ernestine." From "Jim" Steuer stirred up another love affair of Letty's when he read a letter from a Philadelphia man named J. Michaelphian named throughout the hearing-situated her as "My dear, dear Tish," and said he longed for "the dear sweet murmurings from our sweet lips," but J. Michaelphian which set my pulse agging." Mr. Steuer expressed curiosity as to why she allowed "an ordinary acquaintance" go so far, informed him reproachfully, "Letty informed him reproachfully," Mr. Steuer concluded. Letter To Paton Steuer provided supporting to be from to action, saying: "You are ungrateful. No matter what I give you, you want more. haven't been given enough. I have been giving it to you in bunches." Asked why she did not tell Curtis, or Harry, as Curtis was called, about her giving money to Patton, Letty turned the question over in her mind a minute and said she did not him for the reason. She did not, she said she did not remember having sent him to Paris or California. Ku Klux She said she obtained part of this money the gavage gave her, and she needed it to bribe the KuKu Klan to refrain from molesting them in their home in Freeport, Marriage Describing her marriage to Curtis, Lettie said it was sixteen years ago. They were sitting in the living room when she related, when he solemnly took her hand and said, "I will be your husband and you will be my wife. Then she considered herself a third Lover White. The third lover of Lettie's was a white man, C. C. Ingold, also of Philadelphia. She identified a letter from Ingold in 1923 in which he wrote her: "Dearest Sweetheart, are discreet, will be great wife. With big kiss on your great sweet lips I close. "C. C. I." After The Split Following a split in their friendship, the plaintiff wrote to Curtis: "After a sleepless night, Harry, beyond doubt you are the biggest Judaever made. I looked into your face when you told Mr. Maidan that I was a bode stone around your neck that you had to take your checkbook and ledger with you to lunch. I couldn't be trusted as you as good told her I to help." "You told me to come to Cully's. Then you left me. I was terrified. Harry that was always good and kind and sweet and gracious and divine. I hate and despise you. You "Spirit" Moved Her Referring to her explanation about other letters that they were "the bunk," Steuer asked whether she was on that she had written it "because the spirit moved her." "I have nothing now," went on from the letter, "from Ava Bank because you are so stingy and cheap with me, so exact with me—nobody else. You supported and took care of Darkwood famiarly her husband." "I never want to see you again as long as I live. I will pay you every cent I owe you. Forever goodbye," she said, which was signed "The Trief." Kore Dark Suit The tall girl sat on the stand wearing a dark suit and small black hat, nervously twining her fingers as admissions were forced upon her. Her short hair were produced by counsel for Letry after she, with great relief, left the stand. She heard little of the ensuing testimony, for she became ill and, with swaying steps, left the courtroom. She returned near the close of the Joke On Steuer The biggest laugh, however, was on Steuer. He was examining Mrs. Lilian Coleys, Freeport, L. I. aged and bent with deeply lined face. She knew Curtis and Lily from the beginning of their romance, she said, and as Steuer snapped out a The BABY Why do so many, many babies of today escape all the little frettful spells and infantile aliments that used to worry mothers through the day and keep them up half the night?

Discussed NEW WINDSOR, Md. — De- claring that we should know more about the kind of delegates we are sending to conferences, the Rev. Elzia P, Moon has suggested that prospective delegates be guizzed on important matters to come be- fore that body before they arc elected. In this way, declared the Rev. Mr Moon, the interests of the members of the unit churches can be best pro- tected. The pastor, is also not de- cided whether or not it would be best to have district superintendents and some other officers appointed by the bishop as ts now done; OF whether It would not be best to elect them, Life Tenure Among some of the questions the members should know from prospec: tive candidates ere: ‘Do sou believe in Wife tenure for bishops? Do yott believe that appointment by cabinets benefits the greatest number of pastors? Do you believe that salaries of pas- tors should be equalized? ‘Do you believe the tima Is ripe for the Negro to establish an independent conference in the M, E. Church? ‘Do you belleve that $6000 1s tod much to pay eny officer in the con- ference? ‘Would you take 2 stand against 0 bishop of others in the conference who did things unnecessarily to sub- mit a minister and his family to hu- miliation? .

Weak Back Strengthened Quickly Weak Back Strengthened Quickly If it hurts your back to lift a heavy object, if you have strained the back muscles, if a "cold has settled in your back," or if you suffer from lumbago, put on a Red Cross Kidney Plaster and you will get relief almost at once. It gives the support needed by the weakened, sore muscles. It provides a continuous automatic massage with every movement of the body, thus relieving congestion and stimulating circulation in the affected tissues. The medication is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, sore, lame muscles, quieting the pain, relieving the irritated nerves, and restoring the free use of the muscles. Be sure to ask for Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. At all drug stores. How Old Are You By Your Hair?

For the past two years, Hallstalk has been running his elevator at the above address tending two furnaces and doing general handy work in the building, which includes among its tenants several art and antique deal Again and again the humble elevator man, who's man was alert and who dreamed dreams, saw the fortunes being paid for canvases brought into the Hallstalk talk. In discussing Halstalk talk I could Paint As Well "When I heard that this picture brought $2,000 and that one a measly $1,000, I asked Mr. Russell, "How come?" He took my breath away by showing me a painting worth $25,000. I said, "I am sure paint," as I was most of Mr. Russell just laughed, and told me to go ahead, and if I could, he would sell it. "I produced a sketch in about a half hour, which so pleased him that he asked me to do it in. Bob the canvasser, and when he home every night I just lit my pipe and sat in front of the canvass and got to thinking about my birthplace down in Warrenton, Va., and pretty soon I worked out a picture in my old neighborhood." Born in Virginia I listen now in a more words from the film "Find," who lives at 117 W. 60th street, as to the varied and many experiences of his career. "I was born on a farm in Warenton, thirty-two years ago. From the time I was able to toddle, I worked the farm. When I was eight, I started schooling, but only my first job I lasted out as a shoemaker's apprentice. "Hearing tales about New York, old Warentown got too small for me, so I headed here. Was Shoemaker "However two years of hard work in restaurants, hotels, and in the subways made me long for the shoemaking trade and home; so I returned and took myself a wife. Inez "The honeymoon over, Uncle Sam decided he needed me, so off I went to Camp Meade and served throughout the war in the officers' quarters. While I was in the service my wife purchased a small moving picture house, and I became showman, then I left the service. Besides, I worked the shoemaking trade and ran itinerary." Hallstalk cannont understand why there is such a furore over his work. He says that until he started his prize painting, six weeks ago, he had never even held a brush in his hand. Say Fla.

C. — A waiter was injured here by having a chair crashed down on his head last week during a faked riot scene at the lunch- ceon meeting of the Rotary Club. The white chairman had arranged that two waiters should collide, break their dishes and begin a fight. Carrying out their program one of the men ran and the other fired a blank revolver at him. Before he could fire again, a diner who though the scene real, crashed a chair on his head, injuring him slightly. What Doc of the Laxative Habit In all history, no Indian was ever known to have constipation. Nor need YOU. He chewed the bark of a tree called cascara. Today, we have the candy cascaret. Cascarizing the bowels never forms a laxative habit. If already formed, an occasional cascaret will usually strengthen the ability. Poisonous strengths the muscular walls of the bowels, and their need of any aid at all grows constantly less. What other cathartic has this characteristic? The writer knows of none. An evacuation brought gently about by cascara will, nine times in ten, be followed by full functioning bowels, the fall frown, and for days after. For there is no RE-ACTION as with sickening salts, or any of the man-made purgatives that go through one's system like a bullet. Physicians tell us carcara is the ideal laxative—and the tongue tells CASCARETS They Work While You Sleep!

Gordon, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, has denied the resurrection and the atoning blood of Christ. Charges were made last week by the Baptist Ministers' Union and the Rev. Mr. Gordon was haled into a meeting to answer the allegations of heresy. Among the radical beliefs said to have been expressed by the minister are: That the New Testament is not the Gospel of Christ; that he regarded spiritualism as the ideal religion; and that he had spewed the Baptist principles out of his mouth.

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

Industrial Schools REAL CHURCHES NEEDED 25,000, Mostly West Indians Reported Affected NEW YORK CITY. — In connection with the meeting of the American Episcopal Church Institute for Negroes, which met at Earniegie Hall, Monday night, it brought out that the Episcopal Church alone has from 18,000 to 25,000 communicants of color in Harlem, who have no real church homes. Bishop Mannul. was presented with a large Bible, the gift of colored boys and girls in nine industrial schools of nine Indian schools. Bishop Mannul was based on the lectern of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. In making his speech of acceptance Bishop Mannul said that "Common sense and Christian behavior" were the two most common things in the school of the race problem. Going on, he explained. "For my own part, he said, "I think I can claim to know something of this question, for I have lived and worked many happy years in the South and I take pride in the fact that the first two children ever baptized were little colored babies.

Wendell Goode, 363 W. 126th street, was found two days after he died. He left the following note: "This is the happiest day of my life. The Lord has got into my heart and showed me the way. I forgive everybody." According to Policeman James Callahan and George Boss, who broke into the room and found the dead man, the note was left for an aged mother "in Virginia.

"If we could only get the same effort that goes into keeping the races apart, if we could just get half this same energy put into same judicious constructive efforts toward cooperation between the races, we would have a Southland that would far surpass any of its glories of the past where both races would realize their highest hopes without loss of energy.

Goldsborough Is Back Goldsborough Is Back Mr. Phillips Lee Goldborough came out last week as Republican candidate for U. S. Senate, Unless he hires the second candidate necessitates a P. primary, Mr. Goldborough will elect Senator Wm. Cable Bruce, present Democratic incumbent in the general election. Mr. Goldborough is no new figure in state politics. Born on the Eastern shore, he climbed to political power in part over the back of his colored constituents. He was state's attorney in Dorechester County; Comptroller and Treasurer, Collector of Internal Revenue, and Governor. In 1916 he ran for the U. S. Senate and was defeated in the primaries by Mr. Joseph I. France. In that campagin, the "AFRO" opposed Mr. Goldborough, and emphasized the fact that while governor of the state, he to make a single appointment of the state a single health, educational or welfare improvement for colored people. The AFRO cited espusibility his impatience with a delegation from Anne Arundel County, which complained among other things, of the three months' school term then existing. Between now and the May election, there is time for considerable research and contemplation. In this case the AFRO would like to hear from Goldborough and therefore propose the following question: Mr. Phillips Lee Goldsborough came out last week as Republican candidate for U. S. Senate. Unless he filing a second candidate necessitates a G. O. P. primary, Mr. Goldsborough will oppose Senator Wade, Cabinet member, Democratic incumbent, general election. Democratic governor is no new figure in state politics. Born on the Eastern shore, he climbed to political power in part over the back of his colored constituents. He was state's attorney in Dorchester County; Comptroller of the Treasurer, Collector of Internal Revenue, and Governor. In 1916 he was the U. S. Senate and was killed in the primaries by Mr. Joseph I. France. In that campaign, the "AFRO" opposed Mr. Goldsborough, and emphasized the fact that while governor of the state, he failed to make a single appointment or to further a single health, educational or ment for colored people. The AFRO cited especially the fact that with a delegation from Arnold County, which complained among other things, of the three months' school term then existing. Between now and the May election, there is time for considerable research and contemplation. In this period, the AFRO would like to hear from Goldsborough and therefore pro- Mr. M. Goldsborough: Since the majority of colored voters opposed your candidacy for the United States Senate in 1916, have you undergone such a change of mind to conallong public office with responsibility to all of the people black as well as white, as to which political enemies of twelve years ago they should become your political friends today? The School Board Baltimore's Mayor Broening has three vacancies on the School Board. Fifty-eight civic bodies and hundreds of people have asked him to re-appoint three men whose terms have just expired. In equal proportions the color group of this city, have petitioned the mayor to name a colored person on this board. This situation is nothing new. The mayor faces his former administration and simply declined to name a colored member. It is true that the three men now on the board were appointed by the mayor in a press administration, and to them is due credit for the comprehensive school program which has raised Baltimore schools from a place "far down the list to one near the top." It is also true that in this republican administration of Mayor Broening, there is but one republican on the school board as the AFRO pointed out last week. Does the mayor admit that good republicans can not be found in Baltimore to run the schools. And it is necessary to appoint democrats? The situation seems "further complicated, according to the mayor, because two other colored persons besides Dr. Bj M) Rhetta have been recommended as candidates for the school board vacancy. To the contrary, he ought to be greatly rejoiced over the fact that he has three persons from whom he can select the one. The U. S. Civil Service and the city merit board usually certify three persons for their prospective job, allowing an appointee officer latitude in the final choice. In view of the fact that the school board has a present seven democrats and one republican, the AFRO believes Mr. Broening will make a mistake unless he names three republicans on this board. Unless he believes also in the principle of "taxation without representation," he will name one of the colored persons, whose names are before him. Help Lincoln Lincoln University (Pa.) is in a campaign to raise an endowment fund of $250,000 by July 1. Alumni are asked to contribute $50,000, nearly 50 per cent of which has been already secured.

"I have not been very much interested in the university for many years, although I graduated from it nearly fifty-cight years ago. The reason for my lack of interest was to be found in its backward, and, as it seemed to me, unworthy policy in regard to the admission of colored men into its board of trustees and on its staff of professors. "But now that its policy, in this respect, has been changed and a new order instituted under the able, efficient, and more liberal administration of President William Hallock Johnson, I wish, in public way, to express my hearty sympathy with the university as it looks out for the future, and as it goes forward to meet the ever-growing needs of a struggling and aspiring race. "It has well begun the new order of things by electing one of its graduates as a member of the board of trustees and as a member们 will be added as a this forward movement we will stop until representatives of the race will be found also on all its faculties.

Brother Blair Continues The Happy Pastime Of Finding Contradictions In The Bible. Other Readers Will Answer Him As Soon As He Arms Around To IL To the Editor: There is another Brother writing in this column—issue of February 11—who deposits the Bible in a book known—we are certain that Christianity has been vital in preserving civilization." Which is equivalent to saying that a straight line is a circle. He lets see. Are we to believe that an all-wise, all-powerful, merciful and loving God (He Sent His Son to die for us.) ever threw rocks at man? Are we to believe that God was experimenting when He created man, what it is that man is made of. He drew them all and tried His hand again? Have you any idea why God drowned the lower animals, the reptiles and fowls? How could the fish live if they were any better today than he was before the Flood? What!

Forum Club, Danville The Form Club at Danville, is composed twelve or fourteen men. It has a private room. The three clubs are similar in purpose: break the monotony of a quiet isolated snawn. They all also contribute to some charitable cause. But the Chisolit Club and the B Circle are more democratic, allowing the mumble people to join. Art Club—Lynchburg The Glossilla Art Club of Lynchburg was organized in 1922, and is composed largely of younger teachers (women). Glossilla has grown its original purpose-fancy needles. The club has many talents to appear before about one hundred invited guests. Cultivating literary interests, contributing to the Community Dish (the Sweet Turtle) an annual entertainment mothers are among the general activities. Virginia is characteristically a small town state, having also long stretches of sparsely settled rural districts. One does not have to go very far before he is impressed with being a great distance from somewhere. Three types of young people's clubs have recently come into being: **Blue Club—Staunton** The Staunton Club of Staunton has a membership of thirty-five. It was organized April, 1822, for the "moral social, physical and intellectual elevation of its members." Any man in good standing, between the third and fourth regular member, the club fosters programs, athletic games, socials. **Blue Circle—Harrisonburg** The Blue Circle Thirty Club, Harrisonburg, was organized January, 1827, as a "recreational and social center for the entertainment of the community." It has a membership of thirty. Members have the use of a pool table, weekly and daily papers, magazines, engage in sports and enjoy good fellowship. **Forum Club, Danville** The Form Club at Danville, is composed of twelve or fourteen men. It has a private club room. The three clubs are similar in purpose: to break the monotony of a quiet isolated small town. They all also contain a club room. The fourteen Club and the Blue Circle are more democratic, allowing the most humble person in the community to join. The Glossilla Art Club of Lynchburg was organized in 1922, and is composed largely of the youngest members of the club, its original purpose-fancy needle work.

Artificial restraints in recreation are breaking down. Even the elders in the smallest towns are using sports balls, athletics and other games. These activities are neither sponsored by paid workers nor do the participants enjoy adequate facilities. There is not one high school in the state which provides a gymnasium for Negroes. The expensive facilities are not available to the people and Christians. Yet the people play some how and have a lot of fun from it. There are signs of changes in the old or in the Virginia towns.

Whilst meant the thrills of spring into my soul: Today the winds blow briskly from the dove. And there is little evidence of spring. Jesterday the sun was shining bright. The air was blue and the sky was blue: The sombre pines took on a radiant hue. Up their heads to sun, Today dark clouds have hidden the sun from sight. And yesterday my heart was just as blithe As any day might be of early spring: And in the morning I saw writing: Today I witness sorrow's lowering. And in the pangs of anguish now I write. And so is life throughout our little day, A panorama how of joy, then pain, And in the morning I see writing: For we in no continuous state remain: We never do "continue in one stay." I SHALL NOT FEAR B. EUGENE WILLIAMS Pastor M. E. Church, Sykervile, MD. I shall not fear that the world is too dark. I shall not fear that Though Satan's darts to me are hurried, My God shall neer me fall. Though Mountains skip across the plain, And earth's foundations shake: To be the end, I will not thee forsake. I'm with the when the way is dark, And earthly sheep drey, Within thy breast that fanning spark Shall guide to endless day. I shall be calm what'er beside I shall be calm what'er beside In Hirth I patiently confide He shall my cares relieve. DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES When the real history of heroic action on the part of white men and women who have stood four square for justice for Afro-Americans in this country is written, some of the most conspicuous examples will hail from below the Mason and Dixon line. It must be admitted that the first follow-up slavery came because white men and women North and South, more numerous in the North but no less heroic in the South, took heights of humanitarian action. Dying, perhaps, of cancer, in the Memorial Hospital of New York City is one of me. Alabama man is one of me. Alabama legislator. Because of his outspoken and unswerving' championship of the rights of colored men, Alabama news. Manning is practically an exile from his native Ku Klux ridden state. Few colored Folk know what it is to meet the dream of the black man. Folk the fact, is few of us can summon the courage to point out the faults of our own group, much less sufficer martyrdom from those of our kith and But Manning, driven from the South, carried on in the North, and if ever a sense of gratitude should rise in human breasts, he would have been the man who faced Southern injustice in our behalf. Manning does not need charity, but he does. Kettle, in which he discusses Ku Klux and the Lynching of the 15th Amendment, should be read by at least 50,000 of our group. It would be a tribute to a flood from the South. The cost is $1.00 by mail from J. A. HEBBONS, N. Y. Publishers. The lynching rope and the torch, purely American inventions to vent race siphon, have been carried to South Africa to keep native laborers according to a Reuter news story. In Greytown some time ago, a mob of whites, folled in their effort to gain entrance on two natives said to have been desecrating graves in the town cemetery, turned on the officers of the Industrial and Commerce Union, a native labor organization, and set fire to the buildings. After finishing this job, a part of the mob motored to Krantzkop, burned the union offices there. Race prejudice in South Africa, like race prejudice in every other section of the world, has the same economic salary and exploitation of human labor. South Africans catch natives desecrating graves and make of it a chance to curb labor organization in the city where man cannot import labor to exploit, he goes where it is and exploits it. England's far-flung battle line in Africa, India, Egypt; and the Philippines; Belgium and France is in Africa; all mean machinery to squeeze the profits out of labor. **THERE WOULD BE NO CAPACITIES ANYWHERE IN THIS WORLD; THERE WOULD BE NO WARS BETWEEN NATIONS IF SOME MEN DID NOT HAVE A DETERMINATION TO CONVINCE MEANS TO KEEP THE UMAN BEINGS IN SLAVENY Plans of Pullman porters to create an emergency by voting to strike and thereby force the issue in their bargain jointly for wages and working conditions, are both good strategy and good courage. They should be no retreat and if possible, no surrender. Even if they lose the strike they will demonstrate the fact that they have sticking qualities and this will effect the policy, not only because of their own but also every other large corporation dealing with Negro labor. Not since groups of men set up a strike to compete with each other in the struggle for existence has any man, nor any group gotten any worthwhile advantage in this world exerting fight for it and getting in to a position in which they could take it. With unemployment emphasized throughout the country there was a strong belief that workers would be doing a foolhardy thing to strike at this time. Frankly, for themselves, a strike may bring themselves uphips, and some will long lie waiting. But if a strike vote will bring this matter before the proper tribunal and force the Pullman Company to unify the unified union organization, it will benefit not only the porters, but every worker, white or colored in this country, and the Pullman Company and their allies can beat down the courage of these men it will help them to rivet tighter the shackles of economic oppression on all ranks. This would be a good time for the American Federation of Labor to recognize that the Negro worker is the real key to the labor force and stand solidly behind the porters. As long as colored men can be kept unorganized, they can be used as shock troops to break any organized movement in labor ranks. The real fight is not a fight of colored porters, but a workers' fight. How To Get Rid Of Rats Told In New U. S. Film WASHINGTON, D. C.

Of course if these millions of corrupt spoils grew on trees and did not have to be worked for by the government, what would not matter much to the common people. The consciences of men like Sinclair, Hayes and Albert Fall could well be left to them in their own rotten experiment. But under our system of government, every man who works on the government rotten and goes down swathes in factory and goes down mines, must pay the price of the government rotten system. Both the Republican and Democrat have the same measure become the ally of this rotten system of exploitation. These big scandals are more borealis and more politic. Every economic blood vessel of our government is wreathing with the germs which produce cancer and increasing disregard for others. One time the richest man was satisfied with a million dollars. But, like cocaine, it requires more money and we are becoming money friends and we are headed either towards a revolution or the fate of souls. We are becoming thousands of young men and women are looking to Russia for their inspiration. Every nation learns sooner or later how to individualize development. But what will the political leaders in our group do about this in their allegiance to them to their allegiance to the Party which sponsors it? Social Equality Abraham Pelser, a white man, was sentenced to fourteen days' hard labour and about a year in prison until the rising the Court. Pelser, who is $5, was charged with contravening the law passed last year, making it a criminal offence for a white man to associate with a native tribe. Pelser was born in 'the Dordrecht district, and was three months old when he lost his parents. He was sentenced to death. He had lived among natives ever since except during the Anglo-Boer war, when he was captured as a rebel and sentenced to death. Lord Kitchener commanded him to imprisonment, and after two years in Ceylon, Pelser was released. He returned to his native friends and finding himself regarded as an outcast by white women, bought a horse by women from her mother for eighteen cattle. The 15th Person (Girard in 'Phila. Inquirer. Another important fact is that four times as many Negroes as white people live upon an acre of land over crowding of 170,000 Negro population comes near a real scandal as anything you can find in this otherwise enlightened town. Negroes know how many agencies in the past ten years have wrenured your hearts and your pocketbooks in behalf of "Near East sufferers" do not know what makes the Near East so habitually bleed, but bleed it. Millions of money have gone from this State to do one thing or other in the Near East that is from the interior of Emporium that the little town is $100 a year. So we bleed cash for a cause $5,000 miles away, but we no big at all. We need Philadelphia to cure this Negro scandal at our own door. What can Philadelphia do to缓 edy this worst of city evils— crowding of Negroes in restricted areas? We can go on investing million of millions of a year on our own cash in foreign industries and neglect as in the past, to invest even million for the home benefit of 170,000 of our own industrial popu lation. Yet one might suppose it would profit us more to help our own lovers to aid in industry in Patagonia. What's A Radical? (Editorial P.N.S.)

I came down here for a rest but I find myself just as busy as if I were in my office. I just returned from Jacksonville, where I spent some pleasant moments with Buddle Austin and his lovely wife. Mrs. Austin runs the business while Buddle fishes. I never saw a man so crazy about fishing as Buddle. He has every kind of fishing apparatus that is on the market and has one of his own make. We gone fishing twice since we been here, and we have been fishing while there. I found that Mr. Austin has cut out the shows and is now playing a big business with pictures of the actors and managers of these Tabs learn to give the public what it wants. I am afraid there will be others to follow in the footsteps Mr. C. H. Doughas, retired theatre man, but present business man and banker of Macon, Ga. on the Races of that city, was also in Jacksonville.

ETHEL WATERS RECORDS BALLADS NOW FOR COLUMBIA Ethel Waters, Irene Gibbons Columbia's Stellar Singers Page Eight ETHEL Ethel Waters, In Columbia's The Columbia Phonograph Company's latest Race record releases show an interesting concern for the higher grade ballad singing. singer of songs other than blues, offers a new compo- ling in which her anistic restraint of phrasing is seen to better advantage than ever. Coincidently, Irene Gibbons, a new vocalist of this type, is presented as in friendly competition with Miss Waters. Miss Gibbons is a probable discovery of whom we shall probably hear more, judging by the plaintive sweetness and appealing individuality of her voice. Weekly Features WZW—New York—Sunday; 8:45 P.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN IS A SUCCESSFUL NEWSPAPER "Baltimore's Own For 36 Years." WATERS R In Chicago Theatres Vernon Hutchins, of Baltimore, scored a remarkable hit here last week as soloist with Ed Daly's "Rarin' To Go". The show is being handled by Louis Azorzyk and Clarence Marks, former pianist of I. C. Miller shows is musical director. The show, of a queen-like musician, elongated taint. Spencer Barnes, elongated comic, got his laughs with case, while Brown and Jones, rioted in their specialty and throughout the show. The latter proved a capable straight man early in the show and then switched to cork. Kitty Aublance has lost none of her ability to sing, but a better singer than a dancer, got her share. Zulleta in our opinion is today's foremost exponent of the oriental dances. With the present voice, the ability to clearly pronounce his words and his personality. Vernon just needs a dose of stage etiquette to make him the season's sensation. Buster Newman and his partner Buster and his partner, were if not the present Daly contract, would have found it hard to leave Chicago. This week we have Irvin G. Miller's "Brown Skin Models" with George Grawford, Blanche Thompson and Olivia Yuen. The latter is now Lio, another trick of the great brownskin Ziegfeld. **REGAL** With a slight change in cast, Fess Williams leads his gang beneath the big-top in a unique presentation called "Circus Days", with Mae Alax, Marshall Rogers, Dink Stewart and a host of others. Dave Pemberton, director of the Symphonica theater, is now one of the pianists for the stage orchestra under Fess, two other members of the orchestra have been let loose. The famous Right Quintet, who scored a tremendous success here, since the house opened, has Jill Jeannecourt, Seymour, who appeared here last week refused a second week and was replaced by Mae Alax. Rivers Chambers, former Baltimore and late organist of the Lafayette Theatre, New York, has been relieved as house organist, the Sammy Williams being retained to play for the pictures and specialties. Manager Miller is offering a musical exeravaganza entitled "Hits and Bits", with Eddie Matthews, Bonnie Bell Drew, David Wiles and the Monographs by Jeffrey. **PICKFORD** The Pickford has been redecorated inside and out and is now operated with a first class picture policy. The house is one of a chain operated by the Chicago Theatre Corporation. **2 BLACK DOTS** The 2 Black Dots, Ernest Taylor and Benny Johannah, work the week at the Senate Theatre with Al Belasco and his novelty syncopators in "Arabian Nights." **ADELPHI** Ethel Waters and her dancing, dazzling musical hit, "Africana," billed as the fastest, hottest revue ever, is doing a tremendous business here. The prices run to $5 top. **VENDOME THEATRE** Clarence Jones and his Metropolitan Masters of Music have entered their second season with the Veldone high class photobook policy. The hugh electric sign recently erected gives the house an added air of distinction as well as an artistic standout. **METROPOLITAN** The Metropolitan has a noticeable increase in business since bringing Erskine Tate and his Vendome Syncapors here. Manager Taylor is all smiles these days at the Chicago Theatre Corporation, headed by Mr. Crisis, seems delighted with the improvement that the change wrought. **FESS AT SAVOY** Fess Williams and his jazz boys were the stars of the late Saturday night and Sunday morning program of the Savoy, last week. On Monday night Lanky Jones and his strong 5 representing Morgan College of Baltimore, and the ill-fated Quinte, the college as was one of the season's most brilliant basketball contests.

Call VE rnon 6016 Best Theatre Jokes of Week STAR Carter Lockhart: How do you like those pretty red stockings I bought you? Willie Mae McKenzie: Fine Don't you think they'll match my yellow dress and purple slippers? STAGE REVIEWS ROYAL Mamie Smith came to town, Monday, with her "Gang," a "black diamond" chorus and some new tunes and put up at the Royal Theatre, for a week's stay. If you want their production summed up, it's a hummer. The Gang, that goes for the principals, has many line lines. This is unnecessary, for there is a good show on the program without including the suggestiveness. Miss Smith is not the old blues singer of a decade ago, but rather a singer supported by artistic scenic and ensemble effects. The presentation of "Louisiana" is the high spot of the bill. The revue brings some musical drive and the costumes are well designed. The production on the local boards deserves credit for its manner of presentation and swift moving pace. One of the pleasing features is a minstrel first part, with Apus Brook and Joe Russell as end men. Russell knows how to sell fun and he is putting his wares over the footlights this week. Amon Davis and Somet contribute heavily in the laugh making. In the matter of dancing, the bunch is a few jumps ahead of the shows that have graced the local stage in several months. Top honors go to Henry Williams supply eccentric music, and a lovely pace. Clarence Peterson, straight man, demonstrated that he also knows a few steps. Leon Claxton, contortionist, gets a large share of the applause for his agile wrist, twisting, curved and flips, flips and twists. Two neat appearing straight men, Whirley Wiggins, and Lorenzo Tucker, alternate in the revue. Wiggins does his best work as interlocutor in the minstrel opening. Tucker takes his bow in a series of three picture stories, supposedly told over the phone. The "black diamond" chorus is a fast stepping group of hard workers and the chorines go through some excellent routines. They are led by Helen Battles and Emmy Hawkins. The choristers are: Mary Ray, Johnny Ray, Julie Ray Tucker, Ray Roald, Emma Hawkins, Eva Alien and Lena Williams. LINCOLN "Golden Follies," a tabloid, produced by Eurich, is the at- heart of the Lippig. Williams plays the comedy lead. He is supported by R. S. Patterson, 'Gretchie' and the team, and in blackface, Paul Foster and George Lynch are character actors. Lynch playing the role of a maniac. The chorus is led by Odessa Patterson, and the team are Martinez, Garland Williams, Frances Brown and Mary Jones. STAR Lockhart and Idaho are romping across the stage at the Star this week in "Bertha and Lillian's Gingham Girl" revue. The two old-boy"s are supported by Bertha Idaho comes here by Jay and Willie Mackenzie as soubrette. "Dusty" Morris, and Willie Mitchell, working under cork, are presented in a line of chatter dancing and nonsense. The features of the show are the opening, in which the ginger-man grin goes, and the closing, please, and the finale, in which they tell how hard they tried. And the bunch does please the customers. Members of the chorus include, Marion Blow, Lillie Mae Mitchell, Margaret Brown and Annie Belle Butler. Lillian B. Lockhart is at the plano. Norma Talmadge's greatest contribution to the screen!

COURT PADLOCKS PLANTATION CAFE --- CHICAGO. — Federal Judge Walter C. Lindley yesterday ordered a padlock placed for one year on the Plantation cafe, 336 East 35th street. He also rebuked prohibition agents who testified during the trial to bring charges against him into the cafe and consuming it in glasses furnished by the management. “But the sale of set-ups night after night at the outrageous price of $1.25 per pint of gingerale, commonly sold for fifteen and twenty cents, was in itself an admission. The head waiter has admitted constant violation of the law.” Attorney Harry I. Welbrod, representing the owners of the cafe, declared there is not a cafe or restaurant, or hotel in the city which could not be closed if that is the law. The Plantation Cafe, according to the judge, has been Glaser under ten years’ sentence for rape, William Skldmore, professional bondman; Earnest Potts, politician, and Al Tearney. THINGS THEATRICAL By OBIE McCULLUM Broadway Cuts Its Prices Broadway, according to the papers, has begun the cutting of salaries of its spotlight workers. While getting off for a good start and winning the approval of critics all along, the white way "Keep Safrafin" "I have also vended at the rate of productions being vended at cut-rate prices. "Meek Mose," the brain child of Frank Wilson, who is still holding his own at the Republic in "Porgy," felt the effects of spring fever or poor weather and the ghost after only 32 performances. Summer, unfortunately, does not usually hold much promise for performers in general. The coming holiday would add practice of economy by producers and theatres, but the "hard season," which happens this year to be a continuation of a lean winter, is bringing increased unemployment a bit early. One stage and night club performer who has recently made the rounds in New York last week summed up the situation by saying: "There is plenty of work to be done for them to give you." Performers on the small time know that even better than she. With many of the companies receiving only a fraction of what is paid for the higher class white and colored acts, the situation in the ranks of professional who are not so forthey when standing comparison. "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" Believing that the occasion warrants a minister makes no apology for appropriating the title of the play, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." It seems that our erudite writer, George Schuyler and the dark brown chorus girls who have protested the preference shown for their lesser pigmented sister will find that even the whites have preferences. A new white musical is being planned for Broadway and the producers are engaging only blondes for the chorus. The brown sisters learn that the producers choose their choice they believe that choice means more via the box office. Kids Will Be Kids Theatre managers are usually thought of as very exclusive officials who are the weighty questions as the degree of suggestiveness in the actors' lines. or the probing of the public's taste for screen plays. Baltimore youngsters, however, being regular kiddies, have given the high powered executives another little worry. Within ten minutes one evening last week an employee brought five lads to the office of a manager while he was in conference with the supervisor of the theatre chain. It developed that the youngsters had "united" their finances, purchased one ticket for a member of the bunch. After entering the theatre he had proceeded to open the emergency exits so that the others could slip in. This practice is fairly prevalent in Baltimore as it probably is in most cities. The problem is not serious enough to hire "bouncers" but it is a source of annoyance. "Do you ever have them arrested?" the manager of the local house was asked. "No." he smiled, "I used to do it myself." CHICAGO—Ethel Waters and her "Africana" company, emerged from the popular priced type of show last week and went into the Adelphi, a white house, at a five hundred-floor跃跃 Jeanne Eagles, white, into the Adelphi. "Africana" has been on the road since last fall, re-opening at the Lafayette, New York, after a short season in the downtown district. Since that time the company has played white and yellow with top prices usualy under $2.20. The engagement at the Adelphi is indefinite. Claire Campbell Is Veteran Trouper—With "7-11," "How Come," And Joe Sheftel Some girls go on the stage from provincial hometown church choirs. Others are "discovered" in beauty contests and rushed there by agents with an eye for pulchritude and their five per cent booking fee. Claire Campbell, who sings and dances with gay abandon in a McCullough street night club, does not trace her stage career to either of those kindsings, but her story is no less colorful. U. S. SINGING DUO SCORES IN PARIS Layton and Johnston Win French Critics In Appearance At Music Hall. The fact is (and Miss Campbell tells it with a relish) that she went from a drab and uninviting local shirt factory to the footlights. Leaving her job when her pay was out by a rough foreman, the Eddie Green producer of the "Deluxe Players" concert before the footlights at the Star Theatre here. Reared In Catholic Home Miss Campbell halls from Hagerstown, Md., and came to Baltimore at the age of eight years. Her mother had died four years before and her father whom she had never was in Canada. Coming her she entered St. Elizabeth's Home at a Catholic institute and remained there until she was 17. Operated Elevator Going to Cleveland, she been work as an elevator operator. Tiring of the monotony of going up and down, the little girl who dreamed of elitter and tinsel of stage life while in the institution, later to her home-town, began the equally displeasance of shifterman. Upon getting her opportunity to go on the stage she made a two year tour of the South. Those first years were thresome for the little dancer and she left Watts and Willis "Ebony Vamus" and began entertaining at the Rex Tea Garden, Huntington, W. In "How Come" That irresistible lure of New York got its hold upon her and Miss Campbell went there, joining "7-11". She also entered "How Come" when she was in its hey day with Eddie Hunter and a half score with her leading performers. She met the metropolis she took to road again, working two tours and eight months with Joe Sheaflet's revue, making two trips to the Pacific Coast. Entering the stock company at the Alhambra, New York, late in 1927, Miss Campbell was, as she said, a success, that she was sent by the local night club and engaged for an indefinite public Morgan Drama Club In A Benefit Play The Morgan College Dramatic Club was presented in a half hour program of songs, instrumental numbers, and a Friday evening at old Bellows Temple.

MORGAN BEATS WILBERFORCE MOR MORGAN HANDS WILBERFORCE 26-25 DEFEAT Bears, Minus Wheatley, Trounce Buckeye Outlaws Who Tricked Them Into Game. CLARKE'S GOAL WINS IN EBBING MOMENTS Jones Shows Class CHICAGO, Ill.-Minus the services of "Rapp" Wheatley, stellar guard, an infuriated Morgan Bear, tricked at the last minute into a game with Wilberforce, showed its teeth to the Buckeye clan to win a thrilling 26-25 victory, after trailing by six points at half time, at the Savoy here. Monday night. It was "Pinky" Clarke's basket, coming at the end of a belated rally when there were only two to play, that gave the Methodists their main victory. The Wilberforce players, six in number, and without the presence of Coach Harry Graves came to Chicago it is understood, without a doubt, of the athletic Council. Until Sunday night shortly before leaving Baltimore for Morgantea, they were to lie believe Legionnaires were to play the Savoy Legionnaires news of the scheduled Wilberforce game of the scheduled Savoy Club had come to Baltimore from New York.

It to At all druggists Could DeHart Hubbard Have Matched With H. P. Drew? Hubbard Best At 50 Yards—Drew Licked The World In All Distances From 40 To 120 Yards Call VE rnon 6016 BY ALVIN J. MOSES (ANP.) DeHart Hubbard is today the greatest colored spinner at distances from 50 yards to the country in the world. It is interesting, however, to compare him with one of the most famous spinneres to guide the American cinders in nearly three decades — who is a schoolboy electrified the sporting world by his phenomenal feats. Howard, a former half of the American team, and what a paragon of running perfection was the copper-skimmed youth of African descent. Red Cap Job Develops Drew During the off-season from school, Devin Ranieri, a Boston railway terminal. The greatly despipped "tipping system" was the sole means in that capacity of furthering this youth's thirst for higher learning. He traveled as a traveler as he scooted down the boarded lanes leading to and from the passenger trains in quest of baggage and the inevitable "two bits". In fact, he gained no little news speed by riding the train in outfooting fellow reckons in this manner. As a schoolboy at Springfield H. S., there was only one spinner in all the land that Drew bowed to, and at the rather unusual racing distance of 100 yards, Charlie Rice of Powder Point Military Academy. Rice, who like many other athletic luminaries gave up his life for this country during the 1917 holocaust, bowed to the Colored mercury of distances from 40 yards to 120. But from that point on to 150 yards he was a Lion's whisker faster than the handsome scholastic ace. It might be related for the benefit of those who held fears that we might have forgotten to mention it that Rice was never able to lick the matchless Negro at the 220 yard dis- Peer Of All Starters Hubbard, when rated among present day stars like Jimmy Quinn, of Holy Cross College, Miller of Harvard, of Harvard, and Karl Wildermuth, Adelman, Randy Taylor, Scholtz, McAllisters, and other cracks, has a clear edge when it comes to breaking fastest from the barrier horsesmen the start game. This correspondent has seen both men in action on numerous occasions as to who is the faster starter, Hubbard or Drew, we are inclined to award the palm to the Community Peace Howard usually had his field towropped at 40 yards, forcing him to inhale the fine dust of his brogans with his mouth open. He had 100-vard dashes we lumped him in, requires about 50 yards in order to hold the same advantage, but the 100-vard add here that neither of them was the cyclonic finisher Rov E. Merse (another colored marvel) was the faster. Wicks Wurks Words. After watching the nonchantil Drew run rings around the immortal Raub Craig of Michigan, Mike Murphy, long done in the gym, will be remembered as long as athletes are indulged in as the greatest track coach developed in America said as follows: "That chap Drew has it written on his jacket. Boller dorn, Murphy's statements means no more nor less than this: With proper tracing facilities, viz. fast track, ideal weather, a well-ventilated room, laughed at all existing records from two to 220 yards. Alvan T. Meyer of the New York Irish American A. C., Raub Craig, and Don Lippincott of the University of Chicago when Drew suffered a pulled tendon during the running of the glorious 1912 Olympics held in Sweden. At the Boston tryouts that same year, Drew licked the afore-mentioned without glancing over his shoulder and then licked the second seconds for the hundred metres. It was the irony of fate that forced the brilliant colored star to sit with tear-dimmed eyes on the courtmen romped off with the laurels rightfully his, against the cream of the world including: collegiate athletics, Homecoming, colored wonder representing Canada, and Rai of Germany, whom Drew licked by two yards in a heat that was run out that was just making its appearance felt. In sooth, it was that bane of all track athletes that ended Drew's career at a time when evinced start-fights of carrying on to greater feats. New Yorkers still recall his defeat of Joel Looms, Roy Moyer, Frank McCormick and 9 special 100 yard dush that was run in world record time, but that's another story. He scored 60-60-70-75-80-80 and 20-50-60-60-60, either enlisted or came within an eyelash of tying the best time ever recorded. It was the win of Southern California on Berkeley Field that he ran the 100 yards in 9 and 3.5 seconds and the 100 yards in 2.5 seconds. "Try and keep him off an all time 'Sprinters team.'"

MORGAN WINS OPENER OF ATHENIAN SERIES MORGAN WINS OPENER OF ATHENIAN SERIES Greeks Lead At Half Time, But Falter As Drewmen Score 23-10 Victory Palace Aces Rout Unknowns, 19-14 In Feature Preliminary Steaming up in the second day, the team trailing at the end of a hectic first half, Messrs. Clarke, Spencer, Jones, Thomas, and Brown, wearing the colors of Morgan College, lined up in hooks, the Athenians, and did the rude thing of snatching a 23-10 victory from them, at the New Albert, Friday night, in a game in the Athenians' were spills and tumbles galore. Jersies Confuse Similarity of the jersey of the two teams caused Coach Drew to send out and get some white shirts that the confusion in passing might be eliminated. One of the two teams and the likeness of their uniforms, it was fully 14 minutes before a field goal was made by either team. A technical call on the Athenians by Referee Gibson issued a Lanky to one in from the 15-foot line for the first score of the game. Goal After 14 Minutes Allow the Greeks in a grudge to toss for the Greeks and use by "Lanky" and "Pinky" Clark put Morgan in front by a 3-1 score. During a time-out the Athenians substituted Thomas for Hackett at all three positions and three persons on the lanky "Rule". Spencer, sent in for Sheffey, made the first field goal of the game, after 14 minutes play in the first goal for "Chink" Wyatt had the Grecians trailing, 5-4, near the end of the half. Captain Joe Jackson, Athenian mainstay, creep down the sideline to flip one of the Greeks into the half, putting the Greeks in front, by the score of 6 to 5. Repeating his act of the first half, the Hon. "Lanky" tossed in a free throw as the ooing score of the second half, and then turning around tossed, in another, to put the bears on the ground. Mr. Clarke, squinting his peepers at the basket, got the race and scored two bulleys, so inspiring his mates that Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown emuled his example, running the count to 15. The Greeks, after another time out, in which Lewis was sent into the game, began to get their bearing and locked as if they were in a fight of trouble. Thomas hoped a screamer from mid-court and Lewis rolled one in the basket. But this scoring was shot-lived as the Greeks did not score another Field goals by Clarke and "Cottie" Brown and a foul goal by "Lanky" boosted the Bears' scoring total to 21 points. Hickett was打失 10 points from the name the team charged from him. "Lanky" looped one for Morgan just as the timer's whistle ended the game. Jones also led the scoring with 9 points, five of which were from the "Pinky" Clarke in line with 8 points. Coming from the floor. Allor and Hackett have scored losses, Watt, Jackson, Thomas, and Lewis scoring one each, and each also off in their foul shooting, counting only twice from the 15-foot mark. Roughness prevailed through the guilty guilt of hacking, blocking, shoving, and all the other kindred offenses. **Primary** The strain of playing a large number of games each week plus their mistaken policy of playing to the gallery, caused the Unknowns to suffer the great heat at the hands of the Palace Aces. **Superior** passing and fast foot work had the Palace cagers leading 7-6 at home, and Jones increased the margin four more points at closing time. Greer and Hawkins played a great defensive game on the Palace Aces. Jackson played best for Unknowns. Morgan (23) G P 2 P Athenians (10) G Clarke, f. I. G P 2 Allor, f. I. G P 12 Spencer, f.

LEAGUE HEAD ADAMANT ON BOLDEN AND STRONG TRENTON, N. J.—Granting franchises to two new clubs, the Eastern All Stars, of Philadelphia, and the Brooklyn Stars, members of the Eastern Baseball League, assembled over the week-end at the call of Isaac Nutter, president, announced that the League has not dissolved but will function with even more smoothness than ever before. Special Meeting The special meeting was called after Ed Bolden of Hildale and Nat Strong of the Brooklyn Royal Giants had withdrawn their respective clubs from the organization and announced their intentions of playing independent baseball during the 1928 Supplaining the Darby Daisies will be the Eastern League All Stars, a team backed by Smith College, Philadelphia, the city in which their home games will be played. It has been-predicted that the Quaker City team will carry an array of talent in Philadelphia and rumors in Philadelphia and rumors are that five Daisy Stars will sport the uniforms of the newly organized club. The team, but just who is the power behind the throne of the Brooklyn entry, it is said that the team will carry a roster of experienced playeds and will be appaacked by the meeting of the Washington Potomacs coming into the fold. Some of the Harrisburg players may possibly go to these newly organized units. George Rossiter, Baltimore maginate, questioned on the matter, stated that he felt the prospects for the league hopeful and that he had the best team in history—another pennant winner. He denied vigorously any statement that he was going to withdraw from the team, but that he has been always in the thick of the fight for organized baseball. The Black Sox southern trip may be altered a little, due to Hilldale's withdrawal, but that the team will go South next month. Rossiter stated that he expected to leave for Philadelphia Mnday, where he would attend a meeting of the league meeting being the final one before the opening of the diamond season.

The Elks got off, to an early lead and were never headed in the second half the Elks substituted their second team and the subs managed to hold the lead until the closing whistle. The Elks, in the gunning spree, send the sphere through the nets five times, while Eldridge, former star of the DeWitt Union High School, for New York played a stellar game for St. Christopher. Carpenter Wants Wild To Score Half Of Bison' Points WASHINGTON, D.

Carpenter, Bison-center, ran wild scoring half of the points that his team made.

Saturday, Mar. 24. 1927 BY BILL GIBSON Although he attended in C. C. Pike's "Bunion Dumon," G. William Dunn, Union University student, has created one for himself, and is consequently hoofing it from Richmond to the City of Dayton. He is a graduate of Dayton, Ohio, and a former student at Ohio State and Dusqueen Universities has had a varied experience, his chief employer being the University of Dayton, having worked on the Dayton Guide and The Pittsburg Guard. Last fall found him a student at Union, but finances that once seemed "long" soon became "short" and Dunn was an endeavor to conjure up some money-making scheme. A Mr. Brewley, an official of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at the Broad Street station, in Philadelphia, and who Dunn had met on a previous occasion, told Dunn that he thought he would be able to spend spring months as a red cap in Philadelphia. Encouraged by this stroke of fortune, young Dunn set out from Richmond Saturday, via Washington, with Philadelphia as his destination. Dunn dropped in to see an old friend of his, Juliane Henri de La Marr, a New York kid, and a student at Howard University. By a strange coincidence, La Marr too was facing a challenge on the road, had to withdraw from Howard at the end of the fall quarter. Immediately Dunn suggested that he accompany him on the bike, but La Marr, somehow, was not there. It was while walking out for a Sunday newspaper that La Marr became attacked by the hikine bug. Hardly able to restrain his eagerness, he rushed home to give his consent to the trip to Dunn, and after Washington Sunday afternoon at 4:30.

He wrote just as though we were talking to her. He began by begging for grooming for his actions, he said. He was mad with jealousy. He had gone to South America so Lieb wanted her back. Wanted to marry her, now he could not forget her, she got her over it the night back with her. ? If so Lieb wanted her back. Wanted to marry her. He would marry now. His parents had both died within the past year. O, by the way, the little ruler stall had nailed handsome profits, and upon the elder Liebertin's death, it was discovered that the Liebertinis were eligible for the title of the newly very, very rich. Come, Golden Girl, help him spend it. He was leaving South America and was headed to Paris, where one's money brought a good time. He went with him. Meet him at a little kid, and they'd be married on their way. How about it? Send a call to Chicago if the answer was yes. If she didn't say yes, he'd kill himself anyway, and give his money to the Salvation Army, and a kiss from Lieb. Such was Liebertini's letter. It was quite a letter for Lieb, who usually scratched a line but it was sincere. Luana knew he would never have written 1er while his angel wife was dead. He had written for remorse, line to remember their loved hours together, line to want more together. Out of the whole letter, two statements impressed Luana Lee. The first was that Liebermine was independently rich. The second was a trip to Paris. The first was that Liebermine the mention of a trip to Paris. The second was a trip to Paris. The first was that it meant to her. It would mean theief escape, escape from facing Masson from her husband of Constance. Relief from her own torturing thoughts, her own wounded pride. For Luana had been rejected, and it was a new experience, and not a very pleasant one. To face the world after Masson's marriage was just a little more than Luana Lee's equal to, particularly theief escape, welcome a trip to Paris, or anywhere else that offered a reunion of her shame, and no nothing of her shame. and she was far as Lieb was concerned, she had never loved her. Her love for Dr. Masson had taught her that she had never known that emotion before. She had only played at love with Liebimi, or perhaps better, had allowed play with her. He had taken care of her youth and all of her purity and sweetness and had left her a thing unwanted and unfit for decided. Why shouldn't his money help her forget the hair he had made of her life? Why should not not he spare her the ordal of living in close contact with the man who had run away than let himself be seduced by her? Liebertain had caught her and helped her, and now he offered her the way to escape. Linna Lee decided to accept his offer. She refused to meet him halfway in Chicago. Let him come to her. He came on a partly June morning. He ran on the steps of a apartment as lightly as though murder. He never mounted them on a mission of murder. He was as shining and as immaculates as the deck of a U. S. battleship on inspection day. He wore a dazzling pink beach suit a wide brimmed Panama hat, and, in the midst of all this whiteness, he was as brown as the marty kissed Luna ractuously and hugged her cuely, then hurried her out to be married. At the curb was drawn a glittering Cadillac cops that almost, but not quite, outshone Lieb's spinter. "Where do we pull this stunt?" he laughed. "O no, further North, I guess," replied Luana indifferently. "All right then, let's go." sang Lieb with a musical tinkle in his voice that sounded like bells, and it so happened that in the little town by the road in Delaware, they were married. The preacher read their license carefully, and to find some excuse for not performing the ceremony, but he was not told that the overcome Liberator's confidence and Luanan's difference, so he finally decided that he must as well carn the fee. He stood before then and read his words as mechanically as Libe with the solemn question. When he chanced him so cockily from over his pover-book and specs that Libe almost giggled as he said. "I tell hana hardly paid any attention to him, for this to her was simply a necessary formality to make herself co-partner in Liebert's stocks and bonds. But when he came to the words, "as long as you both shall live," she shivered. She did not notice, until she signed the register She did not notice, until she sighed the register that the day was the tenth of June. She wired Dick that night. Married Lieberini this noon. Sailing on the Aquatania Saturday. Will look for you at the dock. The yellow slip on the officer handed him the end of the hone of Dick Lee. It meant. At the ends of mobs of Dick's lask were written, well done, in this his greatest effort. The salvaging of a soul, he bungled. His theories had come to naught. His sister was gone, gone from his protection and advice, gone for herself to sink or swim. Someone came to the crowd that lined the decks, but they found no Dick. Instead they were almost mobbed by the reporters and photographers. They swarmed the ship's decks with Luanna and Lieb as the foil of their attentions and cameras. Somehow the news had slipped that an Italian millionaire had married a Negro girl, and the representatives of the dailies, weeklies, and monthlies were now earning their pay. Lieb chatted with the 'boys' and answered their questions gaily enough, but Luana shrank from them. She had come to escape the public, and had run into motoirity. "Give me a hug," begged one brisk representative of a news service that reached from coast to coast. "Remember the whole United States, white and colored, is interested in you folks. We are going to play this story up big, front page stuff, cross line head, and public wants to see how you look." Lieb put on his handsomeest smile and posed like a movie hero, but Luana was obdurate and burgled her head in the flowers Lieb had given her until Lieb whisplied. "Come, smile. Let them see how pretty my Golden Girl is." Still she would not smile, but they got a full length picture of them by the ship's rail. The reporters fired questions at her. They tried to get her to claim some other race. They looked at her big eyes and delicate nose. Was she a Jewess? Was she decended from an Asiatic race? Philippine? Some of her ancestors were white. weren't they, grandfather, perhaps? With a proud lift to her head, Luana answered them. She was wearing a white coat. When the woman given whistled, they curried down the gang planks and left her in peace. She watched the widening waters that separated her from land, from disgrace, from Masson, and was grateful. Soon she turned her back upon the vanished land and her face out to the seas. "To Paris," she whispered "And you can bet your sweet life I'm going to have a large time." Paris in summer. Where was life more wonderful? Her was Paris 'done' so thoroughly and so completely by as Luana and Liebertini. They toured the avenues form the noble Arc de l'Etoile to cabaret Montemartine; from the Rue de Rivoli of the wealthy, to the Latin Quarter, of the strivers: from Champs Elysées to the Apache cafes of the Boulevard Sebastapol. As there ever such a place for nymoemmoors? was the champ of her fingers for the difference in the color of their skins. Was not the man handsome and wealthy, and the girl beautiful and chic? "Cest non?" And so Luana and Lieb became regular boulevardiers, real Parisians. They took an apartment in a beautiful white stone house in Luana's wildest dream of luxury. It was furnished in orate and lavish style, and its silken draped windows looked out upon the parklike street of the Fauborg St. Honor. They breakfasted on buttered rolls, strained honey and cafe' au lait, brought to their bed by a trim, slim-knail maid, who gratfully received Lieb's lavish tips with a volley of delightful which neither Luana nor Lieb understood. Luana used to lie on the rose silk coverlet of the bed. behind the diaphanous silk net canopy and wonder how much the princely apartment cost Liebertini. Wondered, but never asked. Rue de la Paix. The street of Fashion, of mannequins, of intriguing show windows. Is it any wonder that Luana almost lost her soul in its marvellous salons? Gowns, frocks, sport clothes, all fashioned on her supple body by the delt hands of the dressmakers! Luana forgot the past and gave no thought to the future. She lived for most one day after the fire. Lieber. Lieber. dressers' salons of the Rue de la Paix as well as Luana. Maybe it was the fascination he found in watching the artists mould a dress on Luana's lovely body or maybe it was the girls who winked their mascaraded eyes at him; at any rate he paid the bills which were truly tremendous with amazing sang-froid. Picture, if you will, Luana Lee, sipping red wine at a little round table that sat under the lace trees on the Boulevards des Tailleurs. Luana Lee dressed in clinging, knee length white sports silk, by Paquin, with red Deauville sandals, through which her bare brown toes peeped a red turban which had been wound on her sleek head by none other than the great nettle. Was it an amuseable that Lieber fully oozed pride it gave to her glimpses that the parading patrons gave to his bride? "This is the life, huh, brown baby?" he laughed across the table. And Luana winked her big eye at him and answered, "I'll say!" Liebertini soon discovered that Paris is the place where the chefs come from. Talk about food! He swallowed down their French eggs, which were eliored glasses as one never dreamed of, their cheeses, worked into little red balls on tiny white wheels, and pounded for more. They make make special brushes for Halles for seafood cooking, and the fine snails served their shells with melted butter. In the evenings, they taxied to the Agoine des for Liebertini's special dish, Quail flambee, which was served with lighted champagne brandy and the speciest of gravies. This was the dish that swore was worth the trip to. It cost almost as much as the fare to Paris cost, Liebert's head ached trying to decide between the Burgundy, the sweet Sauturine, the white Chateau Uquem, or the dry Montrachet. He finally chose, to the sommelier's delight, Vougerts 1915. Vougerts 1915 vintage (by the way) cost two hundred francs per bottle, but it was no doubt worth it. for Luana and Lieb drained the quart bottle and did likewise every night. He dipped, and paraded through gay Paroe, Luana in her frocks from Worth and diamonds from the Rue de la Paix, and perfumes from Carot had to pinch herself and wonder "Am I really Luana Lee from McCulloh street?" Lieb asked her. "Havin' a good job?" she asked. "Is it the life for me, I'm having a time to write home about." What did it matter if her own jewelled fingers made her wonder what Masson's deft fingers accomplished? Those hours she idled away on the Rue de la Republic, what did he do in his office in Baltimore? Did he heal a wound, save a life, or ease death's struggles? Those nights that she tossed under the silken drapece of the gorgous bed in the royal suite, did his arms caress Constance in his sleep, did his lips seek hers? There were bitter memories for Luana Lee, if she had let them live in her thoughts, but what girl ever let past sorrow interfere with a happy present? Surely not Luana Lee. She must laugh and play and dance if she wanted to keep her job as Lieb's plaything—and she did. Montmartre The city of cabarets — of mirrors and lights — of jazz — of hot smoky air to make one thirsty — of champagne to quench one's thirst, of dances — of 'filles de jole', to help the unattached males to while the hours away and throw the francs away — of folloring, Negropeans — to make one feal at home of wines, at one hundred fifty francs per bottle — of putational waiters — of life, life, teeming life! Lieb and Luana found the city of joy on the hill, and it was like going to Heaven before you die. Heaven on Earth! They danced every night at Montmarte. Every morning they had to awaken their courage and plead "Cordon, s'il vous plaît!" in order for them to live. Every night Luana stamped a wild hot Charleston while her jewelled flashed fire and the colored boys of the orchestra laughed and clapped and the saxophones grunted and the horns brayed and the funny gilded balls in the corner's horns squirmed and squeaked. The frank wines by the bottle and grabbed the pretty dancers and kissed them and stuck franc notes down their bosoms — and paid the bills! "So this is Paris!" cried Luana. "If this isn't Heaven, I don't want to go there!" But even as she danced and laughed, she wondered how much longer Lieb's money would last. They were so excited that followed the fashionable crowd to Monte Carlo. Luana did not want to play, for she knew the hopelessness of bucking the roulette table. Lieb insisted. They were out for a good time, weren't they, well, they'd go the whole rope. So they sat at the lone table along with nullifiers and lords from England and Maharashtra from India. The coupler ruled them all with his little rake. Night after night they played. The fever seemed into their blood, they lived only to play. Luana was lucky, so Lieb soon fell into the habit of letting her place the chicks while he hung over the back of her chair. When she happened to look around at Liebertini while the wheel spun. His eyes were trained on the wheel, his hands clenched until the knuckles seemed about to break the skin, a long blue vein rose engorged in his forehead. So the gamblers in Scala's place looked when they played for life or death. Luana looked like that for a brook. Luana was acquainted with that look. From that time on she knew that the nights and days spent at the tables in the Casino were of necessity and not of sport. A ramblers life again — Luana Lee thought that she had done with the fortunes and poverty of gambling forever, but here she was — back at it again. Riches or want at the turn of the room screamed. "And I thought I was a safe as John D. Rockefeller's granddaughter," she thought. But after all, luck favored her. Her winnings always exceeded her losses. Lieb always stood at the back of her chair, and now and then succeeded. Luana wished she would do his work. She used the instinct and his perseverance made her play wild. She never asked him about finances, but once after a depressing loss, she skirted around the subject. It was near morning and she rested on the chale bounce in that apartment. Lieb had come to see him and his head on her breast, like a bad little child. She ventured, "Let's go back to the States, Lieh." "For why", he asked, "aren't you having a good time? She nodded, but added. "Be very bad if we should broke and get stranded in Paris." Lieb laughed aloud. Lieb laughed aloud. "Go broke. Get stranded! What in the world put such notions in your head?" Liuana put little faith in his gav laughter, for Lieb had a way of laughing when other people would be pleaded not, when she sat at the roulette table. Lieb had left her chair to go for a smoke and a drink. The counter called the bets. She played the black and the black won. She slipped the chips she had won in her beaded bag, just as Lieb returned. "How did the play go?" he asked, leaning over her shoulder. Hadly she told him, "Lost that time." Hadly she left her, she cashed her chips, folded the bank notes she received, hid them under the powder and rouge containers in her vanity case. Five thousand francs. At the present rate of exchange, not as much as it sounded, but even in case of a further drop, it was enough to buy message home! Midnight. The crescent chandeliers sueded a dazzling blaze of white light down the long green covered tables. Excitement, more than usual held the players in a tense and breathless grin. A girl of golden skin and sleek, black boyish bob, plays. Her diamond pendant earrings touch her shoulders. her finer sparkle like they were dipped in phosphorus, her cigarette in its long and of pure Jadeen diamonds and gold. She guarded her sack of chips — and she pushes them across to the waiting wheel — piles them on the black. Watching eyes take note—other stacks go on the Black. A whisper circles the table. "La Negroes—the colored girl—she is lucky!" The coupler drones, "All is ready?" The wheel spins.

Beauty Hints By NINA TEMPLE A CLEAN NOSE Rarely do you see a perfectly fine clean nose. Usually this is the facial feature that abounds in black heads, or otherwise discolored skin. I saw a perfectly kept nose once and got this formula from the fair possessor. I saw a month she uses this treatment. At night after the usual facial cleansing, pat a good soap like Sayman's or Woodbury's into the nose pores—sleep well. Wash out thoroughly, first with warm water, then ice cold.

Liquids, $1.25---Tablets, $1.10 GOOD MORNING JUDGE James Scott, 25, 793 W. Saratoga street, was a model husband until a few weeks ago, when without warning or notice, he packed up his things and Mrs. Ester Scott, 1007 Linden avenue. When arranged in the Northwestern police station, Thursday, Scott also proved himself to be a man of convictions. Judge declared his wife, "one night went to a midnight show and when I came home he had packed up his things and deserted me." "Scott, said the Magistrate, 'you can't leave your wife just because she wanted to have a little innocent employee.' 'Innocent me, eye, judge,' replied the husband, 'I found a letter from a musician telling her to meet him and when I followed her I saw her meet him and go into the show together.' But she is still your wife, and you will either have to support her or go to jail.' said the Magistrate. Well, I suppose you have to send me to jail. Your Honor', said Scott, with a determined glint in his eye. Two Impressions Had To Be Made The so-called weaker sex is not always the loser when it comes to fistic encounters. Miss Thelma Arrington, a shoestudent in an argument with her sepa-hued Spanish lover, Mike Bew. 326 N. Fremont avenue, which ended with the latter's going to a hospital. Friday she was the trouble?" demanded the Magistrate, when they were arraigned in the Northwestern police court. "Nothing, Judge," replied the young man only Mike went to the movies with another girl, and when I asked him about it he denied it. Well, it made me so made to think that he was trying to fool me to believe that I was the victim, that I just struck him with a milk bottle to impress on him that he couldn't lie to me. "Now I will have to impress on you the truth," said the weaker people with milk bottles, said the Magistrate. "Five dollars and costs." Seven and eleven are both lucky numbers in a crap game when the numerals are represented by the dogs and the pens are represented by the crab shooters and the seven are policemen, that's a different thing. That is what happened in the case of Lowery, 730 to Franklin street, when officers raided his home at seven-thirty W. Franklin street. Arraigned in the northwestern Wednesday, Lowery's guests were fined 1 and costs were waived because why he should not be fined for running a disorderly house. "Judge," began Lowery, "there were 12 men in that house and they should have thrown another number and lost his money. He left and then there were only eleven. He got sore about his eleven dollars and picked up one that wasn't right, now, was it Judge? "No," answered the magistrate, "that was wrong, and so is running a crap game, but I want to play against the rules, so I will give $10 and costs or give you eleven days in jail."

Page Twenty "TOM'S DIXIE KITCHEN" NOW MANILA'S PRIDE Former Virginia Race Man Owns One Of Orient's Costliest Restaurants PLANT AND NIGHT CLUB COVERS WHOLE BLOCK Assembled Decorations Are From India, Burma, Japan, Siam And Egypt MANILA, PHILLIPINE ISLANDS—With his establishment covering a whole block and costly decorations gathered from the four corners of the world, Thomas Pritchard, former Virginia race man and one time cook on a Chesapeake steamboat, conducts one of the finest restaurants and night clubs in Manila and the Orient. Some 23 years ago Pritchard grew tired of being cook on the oyster schooner, which he was employed, and shipped on an American trans- bound for Manila. Pritchard liked Manila and he decided to stay. At that time quite the smartest eating place in Manila was Clark's, a famous restaurant on the Escolta, where the manila gathered a party of ex-convicts and exchange the gossip of the hour. Genial old Mr. Clarke readily assented to young Pritchard's proposal to inaugurate a daily "home cooked" luncheon course, and in a few years Tom, as he is affectionately known in all Manila, trenched himself on the hearts of epiracuses himself over the Far East. In huge frame, dressed in immaculate white, the genial ear-to-ear smile revealing a double row of glistening white teeth, and the deep hearty laugh became as much a part of Manila as the Old Wall or the famous kitchen of the owner of the restaurant died and the place was closed. Pritchard found himself without a job, but with a few thousand saved, he started a few place, described at time as a "hole in the wall" on Plaza Goti, one of Manila's fares. Once he hung a shingle telling the world that he was a "dining Kitchen." Declined Help Although friends of every nationality, Americans, Filipinos, Chinese British and German, offered to express their confidence in Tom's ability to invest money in his personal venture, the erstwhile ship's cook refused an offer of help, and bravely sent to him 'his own restaurant'. "These first two years were hard" Tom told the writer, "I had only two boys' to help me. I did all the cooking myself, and the number of people I served was almost unnumbered. In the Orint folks demand the most exacting sort of too, too, and it was often a problem to provide both prompt and courteous service and prompt meal." Entire Block Tom Pritchard's path has not been an easy one. As time went on, on his business prospered, it is true, and on the tenth anniversary of the opening of "Tom's Dixie Kitchen". Mr. Pritchard announced that he had acquired control of the entire book in which the original kitchen was situated. Twelve cooks continually on duty now, and more than fifty waiters and bus boys serve the 1,200 patrons who daily enjoy his hospital Perfects New System Pritchard has also invented an 'unbeatable' checking system, which has been adopted by the leading restaurant throughout the Orient. Innovation came when he decided that he was using the thousands of dollars by checkers between waiters and checkers to defraud him. "Tom's Dixie Kitchen" was one of the few large restaurants which survived the inflation period immediately following the war. Pritchard says he survived by "using a little common Oriental Grill Very recently Manila's newest night club was opened, and declared an immediate success. "Tom's Oriental Grill" it's called, and over its genial Tom binge faultless in an immaculate serge Tuxedo, but quite like this Oriental Grill exists anywhere in the world, and the tremendous amount of money required as an investment in its equipment alone would be smaller than man or owner. Mr Pritchard and a six weeks tour buy-in treated teak wood furniture for the gorgeous interior. Crystals from amnese and Egyptian bric-a-brac tastefully arranged in each exquisite private dining rooms represent of various strange, far off The entertainment offered the guests is of the most theatres and performers, nationalities and imported to furnish amusement for the Grill's patrons. Beautiful Wife Success has not gone to Tom's head and he is the same genial, quiet, well mannered man Manila adopted as a son". 20 years ago. 120. Work: His beautiful home in one of the lovely suburbs of this tropical metropolis is a show place, and is presided by his beautiful wife. "Tom's Dixie Kitchen" is known by travellers the world over and is in the guide books along with Sher-ron's and the Shanghai Astor House. Afro Asked to Help Find Missing Girl The AFRO-AMERICAN has been asked to help locate 17-year-old Goldie Pollard for whose safety her god-mother, Mrs. Rachel Scripps, 418 North Gilmor street, fears. Miss Pollard left home on March 6, in company with three other girls enroute to New York City, on jobs said to have been obtained through an employment Agency at 621 N Light Street. The girls were known only as Mary, Elsie and Viola, to Mrs. Scripps, who does not know their last names. No word has been heard from the quartet. MRC. LAWRENCE HOME Mrs. C. M.

"Blue Laws For Teachers" Flayed By Maybelle Chew Says Some Communities Want To Regulate Their Dresses, How Many Beaus They Have And Color Of Lingerie Call VE rnon 6016 Let the Wedding "She's my Annie: I'm her Joe, she Perhaps that's what this tiny couple at the St. Matthew Church, Thursday about the younger generation, it was a old Cann and Audrey Johnson. "Blue Laws For Flayed By M Says Some Communities Wants es, How Many Beaus They H By MAYBELLE CHEW Several weeks ago I wrote an article in which I described the statement of the amount of work a teacher has to do. It was in no sense a squawk, for myself. It was simply a composite of things that teachers have said to me a various times. So far as I am concerned the thing I like to do, I joy in it but there is no reason why I can't see all around it. Mr. Howard Murphy was apparently highly incensed at my having an feelings. But nearly everybody in his immediate family did but for the grace of God and his grandfather, he might have been one too. Out Of Character Out Of Character In studying our situation, it came to the reason the article caused so much excitement in some breasts was that I was out of character. Teachers are usually inarticulate. They never say anything pro or con. In fact they are the most timid people in the world. They are that utterly useless thing, negative. Statistics in the instructor for February that less than one-half of one per cent of them are criminals. Likewise, less than one half of one per cent of them are famous. Teaching is the only profession where it is considered boastig to say you know your job. It is the only work that is never routinized to the place where you can knit or crochet of any kind or the work. It is the one job which keeps you on the job physically and mentally all the time. Working on a machine one guarantees that unless some one throws a monkey wrench in the works, the finished product will be the same. After performing one, one can perform his work mechanically and converse or think otherwise, but in teaching one can never guarantee that little Johnny's reaction to 2 and 2 will be 4. And if you unthinkably take your mind off forty or fifty protected children, you are sadly mistaken. Finished Product Nor will the finished product ever be the same. Out of one class will come a bum, mechanic, a preacher and a hod-carrier. Nor is a teacher very often given credit for their making unless, it be the bum who speaks. Most men who succeed like to give the credit to their native intelligence, and many a teacher has slaved over some lucky, but thick-witted boy, who became rich by the combination of fortune circumstances, only to have him record how slight was his tutelage and how long his brains. Worse Than Unions No other profession or trade is so hampered or harassed as the teaching profession. The Pants-Presser's union, or the Garbage Men's Trust can provide them with rights. It can teach them never to do anything that the folks in the community like. Why they even regulate the length of teacher's dresses, how many beaus they have, and what color their lingerie ought to be. We, of the younger generation cannot understand this hedging and caring. Like most other things it's a relife. Years ago teaching was done almost entirely by old males, those spinsters who either too intelligent to marry a man just for the sake of marrying or to be appointed in a position where graciously to teach their more fortunate sisters' children. Of course it was necessary to watch such flighty females, and the mothers of the little darlings consigned to their care, kept a strict eye upon them. Surely any one who refused the sacred ties of matrimony was nutty; the girls were less fezzed than the days. Few men would unless they were delicate or slickly or ministers adding out their salaries. Indeed it was years before many men could be induced to teach because the job was so sissyish. Virile Profession By dint of hard work, and because many of them were intelligent and studied their job, teaching has been raised to a virile profession. Its subject matter has been made that of life as far as possible. Its methods arranged psychologically, and its community, have installed and it views the profession through the fog of yesterday. Teachers today are people, not desiccated old shells of women shut out from the community's life and problems, and this discovery is shocking the communities of the entire Blue Laws I have been going along thinking for myself, and in many cases, standing alone for the doctrine of fear is firmly fixed in most of my colleagues. Fear of losing their job is fear of losing their job. I find however, that others are thinking elsewhere. In Harpers' called "Blue Laws for Teachers" by Monthly for February is an article by the author. I find that his nation-wide survey of the teaching-profession shows that many of my ideas are shared by oth- -Penn Studio ers. Some of the things told in Mr. Swins's article make Baltimore seem like Utopia, for the petty restrictions from our School Board are absent. But we are still subject to the ignorant and archaic comments of the community. In one place Mr. Ewing says, "Women of conventional mould resent the fact that any woman should choose to live differently than themselves, as by continuing to teach after marriage. They are offended too by teachers who dress gaily and have their good times, for it does not seem quite fitting that the preceptors of their children should think of anything but their duty toward them." They should like to add, they feel that way regardless of how little they do their own duty towards their offspring. Cruel Contracts Mr. Ewing goes into detail about the foolish and cruel contracts teachers are made to sign. In some cases teachers must swear before a notary never to walk with a young man, nor go to dances on school nights. Thank God in Baltimore we don't have to do that, but we might as well for the folks in the community keep tabs of every night the teachers do spend on Speaking of this fear Mr. Ewing says. "The head of a Teachers Agency says that school teachers are the most frightened group of people to be found in any profession or business. "Our children are going to school to men and women who have had to stifle their own personalities and to swallow their own fears. They learn on their faces and impressionable youth will hardly learn from them the courage that is born of independent thought." Five Hour Myth Teachers go about so quietly and unobtrusively on the whole, that when one does anything, it is a surprise. People make the most preposterous statements about teachers without the slightest foundation in fact. Take the matter of working only five hours. People are always ready to teach that up to us. Show them how to do it. Show five hours a day and I'll show you one who is shortly destined to leave the system. Because the children can't concentrate for long periods and because the work is so intensely trying to the nerves, school sessions usually close before four o'clock. If teachers taught eight hours more of them would have nervous shoulders and there are a plenty of them out right now for that. But though the children go home, the teacher doesn't. It is utterly impossible to get the room and work arranged for next day under forty-five minutes. Most teachers have some educational meeting or extension course, because teaching is one job that is never considered learned. Plenty of teachers have meetings or lessons four evenings a week Summer Vacation Another fallacy is the long summer vacation. Most of the teachers spend six weeks in summer school and many of them twelve weeks. And they pay their own expenses out of what the public thinks fabulous. Spend some time in December 1927 I shocked them to the core by saying that in my opinion, they would do better to pick tomatoes or work in a factory. In February I find Mr. Ewing saying, "...Since a teacher's job is such a tryingly intensive one for nine months out of the year, should he or she not be allowed a complete course of work? One teacher told him he said, that bonuses and the like should be given for seeking a totally different environment in the summertime. If they want to be active let them go into the mills, the factories any place where they will get a fresh viewpoint and WILL NOT HAVE TO ASSOCIATE WITH THEIR OWN KIND OR WITH "CHILDREN." Another fallacy. Another fallacy about teachers is that a teacher must of necessity work in the church. Mr. Ewing says in smaller communities this is often written into the contract. In Baltimore it's one of the unwritten law. A few weeks ago I read in the Afro that one minister was alarmed because only 38 of the city's six million church workers he even went so far as to say the reason was we had so little moral training and Christianity. He certainly made me laugh. Nearly every teacher in Baltimore was brot up in church for most of them are home products, and if they don't work in church it is the fault of the teacher. You don't have figures given. To work in church for a teacher some times it is to be pilored. If one makes a better suggestion than some person who has been a pillar of the church for centuries one is accused of "flaunting his education." That's the main trouble with teaching one has about as much privacy DRUNK FATHER BEATS NAKED SON TO DEATH Police Intervene Too Late To Save Child Unconscious From Parent's Lash WAS THRIFTY YOUTH; BOUGHT OWN CLOTHES Richard Morris, Jr., Was A little white coffin in the barren living room of the home at 1457 Carey St., contains the scarred and bruised body of 12 year old Richard Morris, who is dead as the result of his father's cruelty. The child succumbed in the Colonial Hospital from a hemorrhage about two hours after police had forced their way into the house and rescued the boy bleeding and unconscious from his angry parent. Monday night. Neighbors, horrified at the screams of the hild as the heavy lash of the father resounded. Nearly that an hour notified the police who rushed in to find Richard Morris, the father, in a drunken rage and beating the boy unmercifully. The child was removed to the hospital while the father was taken into custody by the officers. The father informed the police that his husband was cruel to the whole family and his treatment toward her and she was unable to remonstrate with him when he has been drinking and reeked his vengeance upon the family. Often she admitted, the father would strip the boy and beat him for an hour. When he told Morris declared, the father had told the boy not to stay out late and when he came home at eleven o'clock he punished him. Was Thrifty The dead youth has an enviable reputation throughout the neighborhood as a hustler and was said to earn money enough from running errands around the markets and as an assistant to the janitor of School 112, where he attended, to buy his clothes and help his school. Mrs. Morris told the APFO that no day was too cold for him to look for work. The boy was the idol of his schoolmates and for three days while his body rested in the home, school children kept a continual line to and from the home to view his remains. There are in the family three other children Robert, Willie and a girl of Mrs. Morris has been identified Baltimore for 29 years while her husband is held for the action of the coroner's jury. Funeral services will be held from the home on Friday. Apart 15 Yrs. Wife Wants Support Charging that her husband had not contributed toward her support for fifteen years, Mrs. Emma Holt, 60, 1353 N. Glimlor street, ordered the arrest of Willami C. Holt of Woodstock when he arrived in town Tuesday. When the case was called in the Northwestern police station the husband stated that he left his wife when she became familiar with his first cousin. Mrs. Holt declared that she had supported herself as cook to the ex-Governor, W. L. Golden, theapolis, for last few months she has been forced to discontinue due to failing health. Magistrate Paul Johannsen refused to stipulate any amount to be paid when the couple admitted that they were still friendly and felt that they could just the matter between themselves. No left the court room arm-in-arm Find Babe On Lot The body of a two-day-old baby was found dead on the lot near Hamburg street, by a Southern District policeman. Sunday. Police are trying to learn the identity of the mother of the child, which was well dressed and wrapped in a new blanket. as a goldfish in a pet shop window. And the intelligent teachers resent this. When the young teachers break out they are always worse than any body else it seems. Like a monkey surprise it all of them don't any time you listen to the dumb and yet impertinent remarks of a crowd of children you feel like diving into Druid Lake sometime. Then add to that the wise cracking of the community that doesn't know what to do. You must ask that must be done in order to make your salary, which is usually spent in advance, and you have a combination that in the white schools is making a scarcity of teachers. in the colored schools teaching is shamed the best paid work in school but unable to shortage yet. But unless things do change, not even the salary will compensate for the loss of personality, imagination, and initiative. ASBESTOS ROOFING 1000 Sq. feet $35.00 10 Yr.
