"BOB" CHURCH FOES LAUNCH BIG OFFENSIVE Memphis Whites Making Frantic Effort To Head Off Leader's Control DEFEATED CANDIDATES TR UMP UP CHARGES G.

George H. Poole, also candidate for acting postmaster says "he didn't get the job because he paid $2,000 that he claims Church said he spent in moving Seches, former postmaster, and would not agree to have colored special deference to colored clerks in the Memphis office." "Malicious and False" Church characterized the statements of Taylor and Poole, as "matter of fact," that there was not a person in Tennessee who did not know why Tom Taylor lost his job, and that George Poole was not considered because its examination did not make the eligible grade, that the Postoffice Department would not appoint a man acting Postmaster who had taken the examination and failed. Postmaster General Harry S. New, when informed of the charges stated to the press, "That he had known Bob Cox years, years, years, his integrity, while he did not like to prejudice such thins, that he did not believe there was any truth in the charges.

Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, upon his return here from Jackson, Miss., last Monday. "I have stood steadfast," said Mr. Howard, "and shall carry the fight of the regular Republican organization in my state to the Supreme Court of my state where I am confident we will win."

C. — The development of prison psychosis with Leastat savours Arthur Boule from conviction on a murder charge in connection with the killing of William Simms, at 1244 Howison street, southwest, August 14, 1934. A jury in criminal court No. 1, last Monday, returned a verdict of second degree murder against him. He was remanded to await sentence. He faces a penalty of imprisonment from Bouie, represented by John H. Wilson, self-defense and accidental slaying. He had just been returned to the hospital. Elizabeth's Hospital for the insane to the District jail on February 2. **Prison Pachyosis** Dr. Percy C. Lindsay, District attorney, identified that Bouie's only mental trouble was a prison pachyosis, a condition which he developed in jail. Dr. John E. Lind, a staff physician of S. Elizabeth Hospital, testified that Bouie had a predisposition to insanity, but that he knew the difference between right and wrong. **Insane** Mr. Wilson put on the stand two lassesses, prove that his client was insane. Bouie himself did not testify. Government witnesses testified that Bouie and Simms had been gambleing at a another. Simms won Bouie's money and went home. Somebody informed Bouie that Simms had used "crooked dice" in the game. Bouie went to simms home and demanded that he return back. Simms shot and killed him. Bouie shot, and killed him.

The artists were presented by Mrs. Rosetta Orme Robinson, and the welcome each receives is the renditions, indicated that the audience was completely won. Mrs Murray's full rich contrast shows the result of Humayun and Hohanera, and Carmen and Sibelius "Tryst" were interpreted with fine feeling and understanding. Miss Pinkney's appearance, always dressed in the case and grace with which she handles difficult numbers, won for her additional admirers. Tuesday, especially in the Shadow Song, she sang the liquid soprano flawless and unnering in tone and technique. Mr. Wormley appeared annoyed with Handel's "Hear Me. We Winds and Waves." His voice, especially colorful in the lower registers, was used with splendid effect in Cunan's "Bawn" and Lawrencio's "Jonus." Other pleasing features of the program were Mrs. Murray's rendition of one of her own spirituals and duet by Miss Pinkney and Dr. Wormley. Mary L. Europe was the accompanist. AFRO-AMERICAN CIRCULATION BUREAU Washington, D. C. 6100 Clay St., N. E. Tel. Lincoln 9910-J ISAAC C. BANNISTEE, Manager. William Black WASHINGTON, D. G. — The office of the United States Attorney in the District of Columbia is perplexed over the "numbers" game on persons who are backing the "numbers," but there has been no conviction. The last raid was made last Saturday morning by police of the eighth precinct. Those arrested were 29, 622 Q street, in Wall Street, 30, 622 T street, northwest; Charles Harvey Smith, 19, 1103 S street, northwest; James Jake Norfelt, 29, 622 Q street, Fifth street, northwest, and Fred McLoud, 36, 415 U street, northwest. Carter and Smith were charged with violation of section 863 of the District code. This section is for any person in the District to operate any policy lottery or to sell any ticket entitlement to a drawing in a policy lottery. The penalty for violating this section is a fine of not more than $10,000 for not more than three years. The others who were taken in the raid were held as Government witnesses. All were released in the morning, and a preliminary hearing in police court. Attorney James A. O'Shea is representing the defendants. The man who are running the "murder" here claim, upon advice of their lawyers, that the game is not covered by the District code. They say that it is "within the law," and the table set up in connection with the "numbers." Persons simply wager that the "number" on a certain day will be such and such a number, and take them on a combination of the balances in the New York Clearing House daily statement. From 1 cent to a dollar may be taken in one day. The odds are 800 to 1. A number may be played in six different combinations. The persons who operate the game have "runners" who are daily and take their plays, giving them a slip and turning in a duplicate slip to the bankers. If one of their players should hit, the "runner" gets 10 per cent The game is said to have originated among the West Indians in New York City. When the laws are changed, the "numbers" game, to cover the "numbers" game, the backers began to seek other places to operate. Washington was one of the towns chosen, operators coming from the city of New York, the city of gamblers also took it up as a fast money making proposition. The police want to break up the game. Under what the laws of the United States Attorney must answer, Anway, the case against Carter and Smith may be heard in police court Friday. Assistant Attorney General Gavens thinks there is any possibility of holding them for the action of the grand jury. Meanwhile, the "numbers" are being played daily by those in charge of one, two, or three odds. About one in a thousand wins. CAPITAL N. A. A. C. P. WARS ON SEGRGATION WASHINGTON, D.

NEGRO NO EMPTY VESSEL-JOHNSON NEGRO NO EMPTY VESSEL-JOHNSON Hundreds Turned Away In Greensboro, N. C. GREENSBORO, N. C. — "Negroes will continue to battle down stereotype opinions," declared James Weldon Johnson in his address before a large mixed audience which included the president and white students from North Carolina College for Women. The audience cheered him at many points in his lecture recital, and at the conclusion besieged him for autographs. One man drove 88 miles from Pinehurst to hear the lecture only to find the auditorium crowded and the doors closed. He was not able to get in. Johnson Said: "Stereotypes are what most people think in. The general stereotypes now being attacked is that the Negro is an empty vessel, which America must fill with morals culture, art and the other things which go to make up a civilized being. This is not true, says Johnson. The Negro has contributed generously to American civilization, a contribution both of brawn and brawn, a contribution both positive and negative. Gifts of appreciation and muscular have been his. Jazz, American dancing and much of the folk lore world-known as American are of Negroic descent. Folk Lore There is, he said, little folk lore coming now from the Negro. Instead there is the individual artist, but he is not present, but the attitude of the world has changed toward him. There are less than 25 Negro artists who have a national reputation, yet this handmade amount of publicity." Cullen-Hughes Johnson thinks that the Negro will draw out of his own heritance his greatest effects, and brings out two outstanding young Negro poets to illustrate this fact—Langston Hughes and Countie Cullen. Hughes rightly empahes his fingers at face, yet gets his best effects therefrom. Countie Cullen, who suffers under the restrictions of race, and also, gets his best effects from the very essential life of his stay in Greenboro, Mr. Johnson was the guest of President and Mrs. David D. Jones, the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, of which Prof. J. A. Tarpley is the President. And in the early morning the weary student at Club which we entertained at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. C. C.

O. HOWARD Spectators Can Sit In Auditorium And See Gym Games WILMINGTON, DEL. With novel features which will make it the outstanding school of its kind in the country, the new million dollar high school building at 13th and Lombard streets will be open for inspection in a few days. The building and equipment, which will cost approximately $800,000 was built from funds contributed by P. S du Pont and an appropriation by the city. Novel Features The structure is not only the last word in day school construction, but has some features never before included in buildings of this kind. It is of brick with stone finishings in front and despite the presence of no mortar in the building, conforms to the most perfect architectural requirements. Directly on the inside of the entrance are two stone tablets, one inscribed to Abraham Lincoln and the other to Gen. O. O. Howard. Clear View Auditorium One of the leading features and probably the only one of its kind anywhere, is the auditorium, built in stadium form with a seating capacity of 900. The stage, 70 feet across, is on a level with the gymnasium and when the folding doors to the back of the stage are open, the stage is open to view. Thus games or exercises in the gymnasium can be viewed by these seated in the auditorium. Cafeteria A cafeteria seating 400 persons is located in the basement, with fully equipped steam tables, urns and other cooking apparatus. The kitchen, with its gas heated apparatus, its immense Fridgarel and private comfort room, is as complete as that of any hotel in this country. There is a model apartment in which are included a kitchen, bath room, bed room, living and dining rooms, which will be used in the home training course. The 12 unit home economics department insures a complete cooking and housekeeping Science Department The equipment in the science department is modern. Biological chemical and physical laboratories contain all the latest apparatus and there is an electrical control room where practical electricity is taught There is an office and research laboratory for the instructor. Music Room The music room is also unique. In a recessed portion of it made to resemble a piano and orthononic vitrola. Besides windows there is a specially constructed skylight with a ventrostral which regulates the inflow heater. Hairdressing Instruction in hairdressing is provided in a department complete in the minutest detail. Regulation chairs, manicuring tables, sterilizers and equipment cases are included. The playground is in the rear of the school, and a part of the school work has been given the same detail equipment as other parts of the school. The tract is large enough for a quarter-mile running track, football gridiron and baseball diamond. In addition there may be many mailboxes for children. A fence encloses the whole field which has a separate building for storage of field equipment. GUESTS AT EMMA RANSOM HOUSE Miss A. Ware, Egg Harbor, N.

A Doctor About Cascara It is unfortunate that many people judge the thoroughness of a laxative by its violence. The salts that rush through the system may not even penetrate the film of poisonous matter that has coated the colon. A long list of drugs will "loosen the bowel", but what is the best way to CLEARSE them? The world's best laxative is one that Mother Nature makes in her own laboratory. It is the bark of a tree, called CASCARA. The Indians used to chew this bark—and reach old age without a sick day. It is the best thing there is to the blood. The most beneficial in its action on the bowels, of anything yet disclosed. For many reasons; CASCARETS They Work While You Sleep! THE PHI BETA SIGMA FORMAL has been announced for April 10th.

Updike Defends Use Shaw Junior Hi Students Get African Proverbs Ministers Eat 500 Lbs. Chicken At One Meal At M. E. Meet Sunday Only Day Visiting Clergymen Receive Favorite Fowl. WASHINGTON, D. C. — Defending the sending of the United States Marines into Nicaragua, Representative Ralph E. Updike, Republican, said the situation exists today in the Central American republic as existed in Haiti in 1916 until the marines were able to stabilize the Haitian government. Mr. Updike also served as a marine in Haiti, San Domingo and Cuba before the war, "and I know the good that was done in that vicinity by the United States Marines." In a running debate with Representative F. H. LaGuardia, Republican, of New York, Mr. Updike stated the good citizens of San Domingo welcomed the United States in the supervision of their elections in 1916 which were carried on in an orderly way. When Mr. Updike said that the United States is in Nicaragua to create a friendly feeling, Mr. LaGuardia added, "at the point of the battle." Mr. Updike concluded that the marines were protecting American life and property in Nicaragua. WASHINGTON, (By Dutton Ferguson) — Under the direction of Miss Mineola Kirkland, principal of the Shaw Junior High School, Wash- ington, a part of the dedicated pupils' course at the English department to the study of African Proverbs. Enthusiasm on the part of the teachers and pupils was aroused by the success of African Languages at the Loyola Colonial Institute, sent the English translations of the African Proverbs to the Shaw Junior High School. The translations, according to Miss Ferguson, were printed. The pride was registered at a recent meeting of Junior High School Teachers when the proverbs were read. Some of the proverbs are: "Anger does nobody good; but patience does nobody kindness." "Every man's character is good in his own eyes." Africans View The Heathen According to the proverbs from Africa, "He is heathen who bears malice." Other bits of philosophy from the "Dark Continent" are "Lies, however numerous, will be caught by truth when it rises up and from does not rise up and from becomes a man." This is the first attempt to present African proverbs in a course of study in any high school in Washington, D. C.

Co-Ed, Humiliated; Leaves College STATE COLLEGE, PA.—Although a white resident took her into her home State College here attempted to humiliate her on account of her color, Miss Georgene Mamilton, co-ed, left the University of Pennsylvania. White girls openly insulted Miss Hamilton in the wash rooms of McAllister Hall, where she had quarterbacks to the attention of the faculty, and investigation was made and the students were informed that as this was not the case no such action would be tolerated. Discussion of the matter by broad minded students as well as at the conference of college students became evident, but a healthier understanding on the race question, it is said.

List of Those Selected "Hell" Right Here Says Bishop Jones "Hell" Right Here Says Bishop Jones NEW YORK City. — "I believe in sin carrying its own consequences rather than eternal punishment," Bishop B. W. D. Jones, told the congregation of Rush A. M. E. Zion Church, Sunday. The highest mission of Jesus Christ in the world, he said, was to bring out the best that is in the worst of men. Bishop Jones Passing comment upon the need of the denominal financials, Bishop Jones said. The churches are the trustees of the money of the struggling people. This business must be ministered honestly, otherwise people will lose courage and confidence in the church but also in banks real estate and insurance companies. They have a sad day when common people lose confidence leadership. "Our fathers gave us that we have in our schools and school property, not because they handled larger sums of money, but because they have more wisely and more economically. "Graft in high places, whether in state or church must go and the people must be underhanded and made an example of." DUPLICATE WILL FILED ST.

Dr. Oral McClelland, brother of the dead physician, admired from his office after his death and having it opened by safe experts. He said he would seek to break his brother's will. The dead man intended to cut off his brother in his will according to attorney, Robb W.

CHURCHES Coaching Classes Aid Pupils In Colleges And Hi Schools Make Grades He Heads Movement For Alley Improvements By H. O. Davenport & J. L. Johnson WASHINGTON, D. C. — "Next to being in Hell itself is being in a place where one can't help his fellowman," declared the Rev. J. M. Waldron, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, last Sunday morning, in his sermon on "My Debt To God." The idea of practical service is the keynote of the institutional church which less than Shiloh Baptist is an excellent example. Rev. Mr. Waldron, in his study after the sermon, explained that nearly all churches are now realizing that service must not end with preaching, but must go on ministering in a concrete way to the minds and bodies of men. Shiloh Baptist Church is trying to rebound the community through its intellectual agencies; and the bodies of the community through its social agencies. Miss Grace Coleman, assistant professor of English at Howard University, helped the educational of the church. "I am convinced," said Miss Coleman, "that more and more the task of the church is to teach the community the community." Silhob has established a graded Sunday school under the Keystone system. When a child is born, its name, with the first letter of its ordate roll. For the first four or five years the child receives occasional greetings from the church. At the end of the year the beginner's class. Thencoferward he is graded as in the public school **Bible Study** "At all times Coleman explained, 'he studies the Bible with reference to problems of today. He does not have the same lesson any other class has. Indeed, it is so important that he continues the old practice of giving the same lesson to everybody, utterly disregarding both age and ability." **Coaching Class** A Norman school for training Sunday school teachers, and a coaching class for students of senior high school and college are other live agencies attempting its service to the minds of men. Through this coaching class, aid is given in French, Latin and English to those who are having difficulty in school or in employment. It is reported that last year twenty girls of the Miner Normal School, were assisted in meeting their graduation requirements. In this work Miss Coleman is assisted by a teacher in the public school system. Pictures Still another educational feature is the occasional showing of pictures. This week, for instance, is a series of pictures collected by a Southern white man in order to show how much modern religion owes to the darker man. Of course, this type of work is not as common as the distribution of texts on citizenship, good living, and social purity. Alley Work Shiloh is especially interested in a bill before Congress to allow away alleys. The bill was introduced by Senator Jones, vice-president of the Alley, Improvement Association, of which organization Rev. Walldon himself, is president. A daughter of Woodrow Wilson is among the trustees of this association. 7 SUBSTATE 18 DISTRIBU 385 GENERAL L 165 NEWSBOY 539 NEWSSTA Help To D 37,8 Afro-African EVERY This mighty or sary for the effici great circulation for readers.

PASTORS SHOULD MAKE SURVEY-MCCOY Preacher Should Know Social Conditions And Needs Of His Parish CONDEMNS "HIT OR MISS" Congregation Needs Information As Well As Inspiration Every pastor should make a study to find out its social conditions and its needs, Dr. J. W. McCoy, pastor of Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion, told the A. M. E. Ministers Meeting Monday morning at Beth Church. A special survey should be made either by the pastor in his pastoral visitations or by the pastor with the aid of a social group from the church. Dr. McCoy, pastor of the minister should become the parish physician," said the speaker; "and take the community as his patient. He should diagnose, with these acts in hand, he is prepared to promote the name of the disease and give the prescription for its cure." It is to be feared, he said, that too much emphasis has been placed upon an inspiring gospel and the need to be thought paid to the needs of an informing gospel. Prevent Foreclosure on Detroit A. M.

Bishop Says NEED NEW EVANGELISM Instead Of Revivals Each Member Should Get One Man There were only 13,000 additional members added to the roster of Methodism during the past year throughout the country," Bishop Robert W. Jones declared in a sermon to the Washington Annual Conference, Sunday evening. This means that there was not an additional member for ever preacher of the institution. There are 22,000 ministers, olders, field workers, bishops in membership did not equal this number. A new method in evangelism must be inaugurated, he declared, instead of long drawn out our review each church clpledge himself to bring in one other member. The church members must get religion first then go out and bring in someone else. If each other's church membership will be doubled year after year, instead of falling short as it does now. Close Schools He advocated the support of world service, declaring that 1,300 schools have been closed in India due to lack of funds and many the schools for the sick in the South will suffice the same fate. Two have already been shut down. Although a Methodist, declared the Bishop, I am not a follower of John Wesley, but a follower of Christ. I am not one of the great religions of the world, but the only religion that can bring man redemption and reincarnation. Jesus set out to consummate his mission to give one hilltop of China to Confucius not one jungle of Africa to Mohammed, not one root or tree of Japan to Buddh, but he would not be content until he won the whole world to himself.

The Official THEATRICAL WORLD of Colored Artists THE WORLD OVER By IRVIN G. MILLER and FLOYD G. SNELSON, Jr. Subscription ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Mail Your Order at Once . 115 WEST 131st STREET, NEW YORK Al Johns Was Entertainer For Gotham's Old '400' Ficturesque Musician A Society Favorite Before Harlem Changed Color The recent death in Paris of Al Johns pianist, composer and entertainer, marked the passing of another of the colorful figures in the gay life of New York's "400" in the days when dark faces were a rarity in Harlem. Lester Walton, of the New York Sunday World, describes Johns as the pet and favorite of the Vanderbilt, Frelinghuysens, and other families of wealth and position. Coming to the metropolis from Washington, the "good mixer" had contact with society folk after learning to play the piano at the Doug Club.

The orchestra will offer its "Golden Gate," a fox trot and its syncopep He first began entertaining at "Silver Dollar" Smith's, a rendezvous of the socially prominent. Trying his hand at song writing, Johns won the approval of the publisher with "If I But Though You Cared For Me". "For The Last Time Call Me Sweetheart", and "It Comes In The After While".

"Sweet Loving Papa," Jake, the hero, deserted the American army in France because he had enlisted to fight and not to "tote planks." For two years he worked on the docks in London, made breads and "found a woman, but the end of the war was back in New York and he old haunts. What makes folk want to go to Harlem, McKay tells through of his characters, "because it's an unGodly place where folk never go to bed. All night, running around speakeasies and cabarets where he been giving them self-up to open sin." Felice, heroin, gives some idea of the philosophy of these women. She says. "Ise a funny gal. I kain't go with a fellah e! I don't like him some, and if he kain't make me like it enough, I won't take part of of him and if he can guess Id work like a fellah e! Jake falls in love with Felice at first sight. He forgets to ask her name, and is unable to find her again until a long quest. Meantime, he becomes a longshoreman and later a cook on a pullman dinner, but is always a happy-go-lucky "sweet loving papa," until he finds her aager. There are affairs with a cabaret shuler, with the "madame" in a Philadelphia buffet flat. Others are hinted at because Jake was the type whom buddies fight for and women argue around. Marriage is an unknown institution in Katey's world of Harden. in Jake's "ravishing brown" in Harlem cabaret. She smiled at him and moved over to her table. "Her left hand was on the table; Jake covered it with his right. "Is all clear sailing between us, sweetie?" he asked. "Sure thing!" "Is he going now, Dovey?" he asked her. asked her. "Sure daddy, let's beat it." "Next morning he woke up in a state of perfect peace. She brought him hot coffee and cream and doughnuts." That's about all there was to an engagement or a wedding. One of the bright spots in this book is Ray, cultured Haitian, who has come to the U. S. A. since marines over-ran his home island. Harlem's barbarian splendors him, and he is forced to work as a pullman porter to earn a living, and he has none of Jake's joy of living. "You're happier than I as you are," Ray tells Kake. The man I learn, this less arresting and life love, the learning in the world can't answer this little question, why are we living?"

Rhetta would be named to the Board of School Commissionier increased this week as numerous endorsements of the physician poured into the office of Mayor Broening. Leaders close to the administration declare that the city-wide interest expressed in the appointment has made it overshadowed all factors touching the Broening administration's attitude toward the group and that he is favorably considering the appointment of Dr. Rhetta. With the dropping out of Dr. F. N. Cordozza, who is now actively endorsing Dr. Rhetta, Mrs. Laura J. Wheatley, president of the Parent-Teacher Federation, is the only other candidate. Even friends of Mrs. Wheatley, however, point out that Dr. Wheatley recommended her growing out of her administration of the affairs of this organization, will give her slim chances of landing the place. At their regular Tuesday meeting the Monumental Lodge of Elks recalled an endorsement which had been sent to the Mayor recommending Dr. Wheatley. In recalling the endorsement, they at the same time endorsed the appointment of a colored member to the board. At a meeting of the Pythian Order at Sharp Street Sunday, that organization refused to give permission as a board member on the board. It did endorse the appointment of a colored person. In the meantime, the Mayor is being urged by numerous civic and business groups and from individuals in every walk of life, to appoint Dr. Rhetta. BOWIE NORMAL HOLDS MD.

Dry Law Violator Gets Jail Term Women Workers Defense of the thousands of race women who work for smaller wages than the whites, is made in the Daily Worker, by Florence Baker, white, who declares that unionization is the only hope for improving their lot and preventing their menacing organized white workers. A sentence of 60 days in jail was given Armond Hudson. 600 Sewell street, when he was arraigned in the Federal District Court, on a charge of the sale and possession of alcoholic liquors, by Judge Soper, Thursday. Agents testified, they found twenty-five gallons of corn liquor, six gallons of whiskey, two gallons of gin and a small quantity of homebrew beer when they raided the near beer saloon at the Sewell street address operated by Hudson, after an under cover man had purchased a bottle and two bottles of beer from Hudson. Scoring critics who say that the race women favor low standards of living, the writer declares that they merely accept the only means of livelihood open to them. Employers are blamed for the antagonism between the white and colored women workers. Separate working facilities and quarters are provided in order to provide prefude and make the black women eager to scab against the whites. This is Hudson's second offense in the past year. Before sentencing him, Judge told the violator he would he ever return, the sentence would be more severe.

Fans Like Mayo George Mavo who now holds the managerial reins, is well known to Quaker City fans as he has been a board member since 1912 to 1918. Mavo is a member of the Hilldale board of directors and realizing his responsibility, believes he will work with the new manager until the Daisies round into form. LESTER JOHNSON IS RETURNING NEW YORK, N. Y. (A.N.P.)—Jno. Lester Johnson, the harden heavyweight, whose body from the neck down appears upon the present actress, and whom ring followers will recall as the chap who, back in 1917, broke three of Heavyweight Champion Jack Dempsey's ribs, and otherwise maltreated him, expects to spend the Easter holidays in the Metropolis. For years Johnson has been held in the same dreaded esteem as was Harry Wiley by the rank and file of the first and second-rate buried boxer, and Wills avoided the wicked punching Johnson, as one does a pestilence. For the past four years, he has been residing in California and Washington State; meeting all comers who must succeed in every heavy of prominence, for in his letter to friends here, he realizes that at best, he can only expect to hold his true form a season or two more.

EDWARD BOLDEN, President Wealth Of Track Records To Fall age Stars Among 75 Who Anson—To Enter Health Week in Baltimore It has never been my policy to enter into discussion or to offer public criticism of the act of an individual, or an organization, unless I felt good would result therefore. Pursuing policy of organization is especially of the Hildale Club withdrawing from the Eastern Colored League. I feel compelled in fairness to the Club, the public whose interests is the compelling force in all our acts, and to myself to state just the reasons that precipitated this act. Organization I organized the league, and am heartily in favor of organized baseball. I also inaugurated a system of rotating umpires. Selfish Commissioners with a sinister motive objected, and succeeded in making the league accept the old home rule commission. Co-operation Lack of co-operation which is essential to any organization, is tearing the vitals from the Eastern Colored League. Some Clubs refuse to play their schedule. One Club becomes dissatisfied because it cannot have everything its own, and of the league when it sees fit, and jumps back again when it feels like it. Financial The workings of the league cannot be equalized so long as some Clubs have parks, fields, and other facilities. Clubs come to your town, and the season take away thousands of dollars, yet never have a park to give you anything in return. In independent baseball we booked the best attractions obtainable, and the Club grew and grew until we were big financially and otherwise. The league was organized, and we borrowed money for the equalized benefit. Last season we closed with a loss of $18,500, and the aftermath cost us more than $3,000. The Directors of our Corporation took the matter up, and decided that until the league derogated from its own rules, the equalized benefit all clubs, it is better that Hildale withdraw, so I tendered the resignation of the Club, and mine as Sec.-Treas. After being re-ected Chairman at our annual meeting in Detroit last year, I suggested Mr. Nutter for president. Mr. Nutter is a thoroughly capable man. I have the greatest ability, know he is to perform the task, especially if handicapped by lack of parks, and co-operation. Hildale Baseball and Exhibition Co.

BOUTS SNOWDES KAYQED PETERSON ROBBED THE AFRO CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY."—Eugene Gordon, 1937 Survey. Another Championship—Black Sox—College Spirit—Those Washington Girls—Jackson Benefit. All hall to Morgan College, collegiate basketball champions for eight. These words, we know, are going to bring about a string of protests long enough to reach from here to Mars and back, but the 1928 crown is due the Mothbuster. I data the Hilloppers have won 14 of 16 games played, one of these losses being a questionable one. Disregarding these two losses the record of the Drewmen seems impressive enough to stand the test of closer The Bears trounced Howard, Lincoln, Virginia Seminary, Bluefield, West Virginia Collegiate Institute, and Wilberforce position, both this year. The claim of Clark University has no weight as Clark has been dogged quite a bit this season. Morehouse lost to Seminary and Morgan then trimmed the Preachers in the running and the decisive score by which the Bears laced the Preachers here indicates that Morgan could beat them again on a neutral court. Morgan lost by two points to Howard, who trimmed the Bisons here and swamped them on a neutral court. Seminary would in all probability fall on a neutral court. The Bears' victory over Wilberforce, twice conqueror of the Savoy Legionnaires, boosted their stock While both Morgan and Seminary have lost two games Morgan has played more games, and he has been the best player, her season being yet in progress while the Hurrienden ended their season with the Bears here. There is always danger in treading on a playfield which you'll always find plenty of disagreement. But on Morgan's record, we again proclaim them college basketball champions. Rositer George Rositer, owner of the Black Sea, is a man hard to find these days. In fact, the local mogul is busier than a hive of bees in honey time. And he knows there's certainly good reason. A talk with Rositer last week brought out the admission from him that it is his aim to stay in East Asia. Barbary has his best club it has ever had. Rositer seemed much concerned over the making of the 1928, schedule and has made several trips to Philadelphia and New Jersey because of For a number of years there have been rumors that Rossiter was killed. So if he could get his price. He has denied any such intentions. Rumors are again going the rounds to that effect, and Rossiter, today, is a hard man. From the condition of the Black Sox Park, which by the way, is the property of the team last season, there'll have to be quite a bit of repairing done to get it in the shape it should be to accommodate the people who buckle and purse itself, and they often get damaged there. It has been estimated that between $15,000 and $18,000 would have to be sent to get the grounds, stands, etc. in proper condition.

Its extra richness builds boys who can take care of themselves. (K) Carroll Jones KOESTER'S IS A MOTHER'S DUTY! CHAPTER XVII It is almost the width of Paris from the Fau- bourg St. Honore to a little street off the Place Maubert. Instead of ornate white stone, the shabby houses are of old wood, for years and years unpainted. Instead of a parlor suite there is a time atic up steep flights of steps. Here Liebertini took Luana. The diamonds went first, then the frocks from Paquin and Worth. Soon almost every thing had gone. Instead of Rheum champagne they drank vin on the market. Quality barbecue were red carrots, potatoes and a silver of meat, and sometimes, onion soup. Little by little, luxuries slipped away and were gone and Liebertini and Luana were face to face with the problem of living on no money. Luana said, then. "Lieb, somebody's got to work. Looks like its up here, which Liebertini has." The What can I do-" What indeed? He had never done anything but dance, laugh, and make love like a girl's dream lover. "Well, I said Luana "I must eat, so I guess I can work." I say: "Work?" said Lieb 'In Paris? This is a city of play; not a city of war.' And he jets 'let's go home.' "Well, then, let's go no "Swim?" grinned Lieb "Swim here." "Maybe I can raise money enough for fares." "suggested Luana, thinking of the five thousand francs she had hidden away." "No go," said Lieb shortly. "Big Chief Lieb like Parce ver 'ver' much." "Lieb, please be serious," said Luana. "Am serious," announced Lieb "I like Paris to stay here." and I'm going to be Luna was glad of his decision, she rather hated to go home broke, defeated. She looked for work, and was lucky. Paris was in the throes of a new craze. Negro entertainment. Negro music. A party of boys had started it by giving a revue at the Follies Bercere. They made an instant hit. Brownskinned choral girls were then seen everywhere. That night Luana and Lieb dressed in their most elegant outfits and talked to their captures—Lee Rat Rouge. The orchestra was composed of colored boys from the States. Their leader was Jimmie Jones, of New York. Luana knew him by sight for he had played in the cabarets of Harlem the previous winter. So after she and Lieb had paid their last note for a bottle of wine, she wrote him a note and sent it up by the waiter. "I can dance," she wrote. "We are stranded. Can you help me of the orchestra looked through the blue smoke fog at the table where Luana sat watching him with wide, wide imploring eyes. He felt the call of the race. Here was one in distress. He wrote a single word on the paper, gave it to the 'attendre' who slipped in Luana's hand. "Dance," she read. The orchestra boys began to play their rousing music of one of them threw a spotlight on the center of the dancing space. She stepped into the circle of light and began to dance. The Charleston! That was the rase then. She beat its tatto with her feet, clipped her hands, stamped her heels. Hey!! She did the little tricky steps she had seen Cutie do in New York. She had a tatto so she summed an imagination. She shook her bobbed head and padded Naughty! Naughty! Faster, faster, Charleston, Charleston, Hey! A quick smile, a cute little bow, and she seampered back to her table. Frenchmen and Englishmen rose and applaud. Laughter and cries for encore rang through the stuffy little hall. Jimmie Jones called and nodded. Liana and Liebertini sat the wine splattered table until the place closed. Jimmie Jones came down from his platform. "You put it over he smiled "You'll do. The man pronester is tickled pink." They fell to talking of New Bork, of Harlem, Luna had to keep the high grip on herself for one hour so she so glad was she to talk one of her own, race. Well, that was settled. A job for the winter. Her wages were greatly bolstered by tips. The work was to her liking. She was satisfied that she was a very lucky girl. Le Rat Rouge was patronized mostly by foreign slumming parties, folks who came from the States, from England to see them. The old Parisian night life was like. It was really as bacse as the bacse on the house, and they was to be disabagged, the most they demanded from the canning girls were her smiles, and, perhaps, a few entra steps at their table if they had guests. The boys of the orchestra were a good lot. They adopted Luana, made the going easy for her. Sometimes she wished they would not powder so much, or put such sticky things on their hair, or grin so meaninglessly and clownish, but she liked them and they liked her. The turn dressed in a scant red costume with a little black mask over her eyes. She danced and entertained until dawn, threw her favors to the guests laughed at their scramble to get one of the little red rat souvenirs. If one of the men drank too much wine and selzed her to kiss her, she smiled and danced on. But if one insisted that he accompany her home she shook her head positively, and pointed to Lieb sitting at his table in the corner of the room. "Non, non, monsieur," she would explain. "He is jealous—very jealous." This life of an entertainer in a Paris cafe. But she never told even the boys of the orchestra her real name. To them she was the Golden Girl. And should a party of colored actors drift into the Le Rat Rouge she took extra pains to see that her mask was fastened most securely. Somehow or other Natalie the prophet Van Mason to know that she evorted before slumming parties at a cabaret of the Montmartre. Luana and Liebertini now had plenty money on which to live decently. There may have been even something left for luxury—but—with the prophet Luana her wage he handed her also a folded bill. "What's this? she asked sharply. "Monsieur," he explained "While you dance he drinks, perhaps. Will madame pay?" She paid it. There was nothing else to do. But she was gloriously angry. The nerve of Lieb- to sit there and gorge himself on her money. How could he drink so much? He must have ordered the finest wines in the house. Well, she'd see Joe Liebertini about this. He'd after all she did not mention the bill to Lieb. He rode it on it. When he had money, she remembered, he had spent it lavishly on her. Now, that he had gone broke, she could not be so cheap as to upbraid him. He had no idea of economy. All his life, he had ordered what he fancied. it was too late for her to try to teach him different. So she danced on and付 his bills in silence. So she danced on and付 his bills as he sat there sipping his wine or smoking. At times he disappeared and soon returned happy, laughing, refreshed, and smiled and clapped at her antics. So she began to pity Lieb. Lieb without money was pitiful. He was as barren as a circus stripped of its gaudy trappings, its spangles. Because it was as hard as it was. How hard it must be for him to be poor after having been rich all his life. Luana decided that she would do all she could for him, dance and clown to keep him happy and to buy him that which he had bought for her when he had the money. So the winter passed. March came and before she was sick. Fired dizzy faint. The music boys gave her the name and address of a doctor who spoke English. One morning she went to his office. She turned sick indeed when he told her what was the cause of the ill feelings. She sat still in his chair, unable to move. Silently she paid him his fee and crept in. At any other time this she would have been happy. But now, now the prospect chilled her. Fightened her. How could she support herself? Dancing and motherhood are conflicting. Do You Know? That Canning of Foods Was One of the World's Greatest Discoveries? Within the past 40 years processes have been perfected by which almost any edible material can be sealed up in a tin can or a glass jar, sterilized, and made to keep. All these processes let it remain unfoods is no longer confined to short periods of the year. Value of canned food packed in U. S. in 1923 was 550 million dollars. The unlimited food storage, and virtual nutrition movement made by canning processes doubtless next in importance to the discovery of agriculture itself.

And call the doctor before that cold becomes serious. Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly. Woman's Viewpoint Woman's Viewpoint BY LILIAN LOTTIER TALKING IT OVER She did not, as usual, carelessly drape her short-skirted tail over my big chair. Instead, she sat up straight and fixed me with a reproving and determined eye. Also, as usual, she wasted no time, upon preliminaries. "That article of yours last week was fairly clever, but that is about all it was," she said with her customary flat-footed frankness, "and just as much enough to recognize anything, or anybody." "Yes'm," I answered with proper meekness. "May I ask, what was the matter with it?" "May I ask what was the matter with him? It didn't get anywhere. Painting the side of a picture never does. You took a crack at the folks who call themselves realists, but that, in itself, does not anything. You showed itself where the pessimists, who seem to be in the saddle today, are wrong. And you know very well" she scolded, "that when you give most folks the idea that a certain thing is wrong, they immediately conclude that the exact opposite is entirely right." Chinese Puzzle World "For instance," she went on, with utter disregard of my feeble attempt to get a word in edgewise, "most folks will think that if the pessimists are wrong, the optimists must be right. Now, if you want to make me feel like committing a first-class murder, just tell me that optimists have the right dope on things in this realm. "I'm not telling you anything." I broke in determinedly. "You won't give me chance. But since you want to do all the talking, kindly tell me what's wrong with the optimists." "A whole lot. I mean to say," she retorted inelagantly. "They are a self-luded bunch of prevaricators and hypocrites. They call nothing by its right name. They ignore all unpleasant, ugly, or sinister facts, or else they deny them. When they can't get away with that, they wrap everything up in wads of muschy sentimentalism until one can hardly tell what's what. The only complaint runs through than a coward will deliberately face a gun. They are moral cowards, that's what they are, and they live in a fool's paradise. As for me, I don't want any paradise at all at the price of being a fool." "Dear me," I murmured in pretended consternation, "how vehement you are. You are almost as bad as that sad young intellectual who gave me goose-flesh the other day. If it will calm you any, I don't mind admitting that I feel as you do about that sort of person. Only I don't think of them as optimists, for that name is too good for them. "The true optimist ignores no facts, however ugly. In fact, he has a passion for truth—that broader, deeper, higher truth which escapes many. Truth that is made up of more than surface facts and inadequate knowledge. It is because he delves down beneath the surface of things and reaches out beyond what only SEEMS to be true that he can keep his faith, hope and courage, when other lose theirs. "He knows that man is an animal, an animal almost unbelievably selfish, often unutterably cruel, and generally wholly unprincipled in his actions. The pastist knows this, too, and stops there, but the true optimist goes further. He also knows that man is more than animal, that that the muck and mire of his animal nature, his spiritual nature—that spark of the divine—pushes up very, very slowly, but none the less steadily. "The world is still a sorry place to live in. Our civilization is really 'only a modified form of barbarism.' A few have more than they need or can possibly use, and the great majority have far too little, and are the economic slaves of the rich and powerful. "But the world was an even sorrier place a few centuries ago. Ignorance was rife, bodily slavery general, the mighty went their ruthless way without rebuke or restraint, and the working classes were helpless forever under conditions far worse than those to-day. Despite the unsatisfactory present, vast strides have been taken since mankind lived in caves, fought and hunted with bow and arrows, used tools made of stones, and ate each other in the mad scramble for food. "The true optimist knows that all real progress is a slow process, but he also knows it is a continuous process. He knows the apparent failure and illusion of inconsistency, and will be wiped by the achievements of the future. Slowly, an attitude of such courageous, intelligent belief is no fool's paradise." I concluded, almost out of breath. "Who's doing all the talking now?" she chaffed. "I thought you never would stop. I take back everything I said about your predacious optimists. After all, when you come fine line, they are the realists, and not the drenched-in-vice pessimists who see the world going straight to the dogs." "Right-o-". I agreed heartily. "Pessimists aren't a bit bothered about either truth or reality. All they have is a nose for the sordid and ugly. They revel in the masty and disagreeable. They pounce upon mankind's sins and shortcomings. That is what the omnipotence is to believe the worst—and only the worst—about everything and everybody. Their one joy and self-appointed mission on earth is to disconcert and shock folks, and to pose as being so utterly 'hard-bolled' and sophisticated. "And now, young lady." I declared with dramatic conclusion. "I you want to deflect monstrosities, all right but as to what I had to make a choice. I'd choose to live in a fool's prejudice rather than in a fool's purgatory.

Our own Maybellue Chew started up on them and brought right out public that blue laws for teachers be abolished, and our own Rev. Ernest Lyon started the other when he proposed that ministers wear gowns in the pulpits. The gowns that our good reverend suggests. I take it. I take it. the gowns that are similar to the choir wear, minus the hat with the tassel. No minister would be at his best in a hat with a tassel. There are great possibilities in this gown business. Just look at the extra collections that would be taken up on behalf of the laundry keeping one's robes clean in a mud-slinging community like Baltimore would entail no little expense. There are other unforeseen advantages to be derived from the gown. Such gowns, loose and slabby, as they are, would enhance the sermon no little. If permitted to become moth eaten and full of holes the pastor could give an object less sensitive than the ones he waves his arms he could attract the attention of the children and keep the babies quiet for their mothers. Of course, tying brightly colored pieces of ribbon or tiny bells THE AFRO CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY."—Eugene Gordon, 1927 Survey. Lovely li can be Quick, sure way on the end of 'the sleeves would make this much more effective but I dare not suggest that. Being a layman, I naturally take the layman's point of view in the matter. We endorse gowns because most of the ministers' sermons are nightmares and what could be more fitting? We pew warmers, however, should also be perimited to wear gowns — say of flannel, and bedroom slippers, and while we are at a nightcap, also why can't we bring pillows and just lie down during the sermon. So full of the spirit did I become over these clerical smocks that for a brief moment I almost forgot our own Maybelle and her blue laws, Maybelle, if I interpret her nature wants more freedom so that our public servant would tear the whole that force a girl, who has education enough to appreciate a good time, to refrain from having it. Darnett Maybelle is right.

The poor school teacher is a permanent fixture for their sanctimonious fault findings. If a black board artist does what any normal girl ought to do, we act as though all posterity will be exposed to moral turpitude. This column therefore goes on record as endorsing any program that the sweet young things might suggest to make it more thrilling, even if they lives kissing the princess every morning. I would, however, like to suggest that we adopt the following protective measure: Let all teachers purchase vestry gowns, as Dr. Lyon advocates, and wear them while teaching. Then they can while the ministers. Do they I do, they have. There is no justice, whatsoever, in teachers being forced to be better Christians than preachers.

"Just stand here for a minute," she said, taking the reporter just a moment to appreciate the advantage point where the cages could be seen without the birds's knowledge. Then some of the naked ten-dollar baby birds stretched their necks and gave the "hungry cry." Immediately the parent bird went over to a dish and took a mouthful of food and after preparing it in its mouth, dropped it into the other prize. "Until those birds can hustle for themselves," she pointed out, "these parents will have no other thought in this world but their care." "Neither mother nor father will go to desert those babies," she philosophied, "and that is more than some human beings think of their babies." OBITUARIES OBITUARIES MISS DAISY LOVE SYRACUSE, N.

GOOD MORNING JUDGE He Went To The Well Too Often—Jailed You can fool some of the judges you face, but you can't fool all of the judges all the time. Matthew Reynolds learned in the Criminal Court, Friday. Reynolds, who joined at 752 Redwood Hills, was charged by his wife, Mrs. Dora Reynolds, 242 N. Pierce street, with non-support. "He hasn't given me any money for the last three years," she declared. "That is true," his honor, said Reynolds, but if you will give me just one more chance I will prove to the world that I can do what is required. "When I was State's Attorney," said the judge, "you made that same plea and I requested that I be back in 1913. You were also up in 1917 and again in 1926 and each time you were paroled. Now that I am the judge, I am going to teach you how to be given you three months in the House of Correction." Ramkin Will Be The Guest Of The City "To him who hath shall be given and to him who hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." This portion of scripture came from the book of Joshua of Pittsburgh, who was arrested here. Saturday, charged with stealing a pair of shoes. Rankin was arrested when he stole a pair of shoes in the store of Pennsylvania, 808 Pennsylvania avenue, and took to his heels. At the corner of Biddle street and Argyle avenue he rushed into the open arms of a patrolman who looked him up. "Honor," said the prisoner. "I walked all the way from Pittsburgh here and wore out my only pair of shoes on the trip, but if you let me walk you will be from Baltimore from my feet and proceed to parts unknown." "That's kind of you," said the judge, "but when you came here you had nothing but your shoes now you haven't even that be-are going to keep you here a while." The Pigfoot Was Pickled The Girl Was Not A dickled pigfoot doesn't have to be intimidated to cause a great deal of trouble. it was shown in the case of Miss Ethel Finney. 1353 Argyle avenue, who was tried for disturbing the peace. Friday. "Judge, you honor," said Raymone Finney. 1303 W. Lavalte street, when he preferred charges against the young women of assault, "she came into my place and ate a pig foot and when I asked her to pay she took a knife and cut me."

CARVILLE, D. BENSON, Insurance Commissioner. Nettie Major Richmond, Va. BY GENEVA O. MENTOSH Negro Democrats of Richmond will apply in the Federal Court for a writ to compel the city Democratic Committee to allow them to vote in the Primary April 3rd. This decision was made at a Non-Stateholder League held at True Formers Hall. This action was inked after a stirring adder in Virginia University. There also addresses by attorneys of both races. A letter was read from the city Democratic committee, in which it was stated that members of the League would not be allowed to participate in the mayoralty pri Theodore W. Jones, president of the League, spoke at the meeting. "The end sought by this League," he said, "is to put a stop to Negro disfranchisement by any political party, by whatever name, in Virginia or Florida, to the denial of our right to participate in the affairs of government because of our race or color. The corner stone of Democracy is rule, the corner stone of American government is built upon this foundation. Negro disfranchisement, then, is a danger as well as an unconstitutional law, because it strikes at the very root of government. He further stated, "What does liberty mean if it does not make a man free to support any candidate in the election?" Negro cannot vote at any party primary, or at any public election that he may desire, then liberty and freedom means nothing more. 8:15 p. m., the Rev. W.
