PARIS BARES ROMANCE OF DANCER AND KING
A King Sues For Her Favor
THE FILM OF "THE LOVE OF THE WEEK" BY JOHN H. HARRIS, WITH A FILM BY JOHN H. HARRIS, AND A FILM BY JOHN H. HARRIS.
PARIS FRANCE.-Josephine Baker had her "count," but Paris papers' all of the love affair of Ruth Bayton, Philadelphia dancer, now starring at the Poles Theatre here and a European Monarch, whose name is withheld.
An enthralling film company which put the "affair" in a film was offered $187,000 to destroy it by the King in question. Private detectives broke into the film company's office also seeking duplicates. Miss Bayton won't discuss her love affair, neither will the king.

Former Philadelphia Girl Denies Love Affair With Spanish Monarch

Rogers Finds Miss Bayton A Hit At Follies; She Declines To Talk
PARIS, FRANCE—A new sensation which may rival the spectacular escapades of Josephine Baker, is furnishing thrills in the high and spice life of French, Spanish and German theatrical centers having burst forth in a story connecting the name of the beautiful Ruth Bayton, former Philadelphia race girl, with the Spanish Monarch.
Miss Bayton, who formerly played with the late Florence Mills in "From Bride to Broadway" and "The Planation Review," is at present the star of the Follies-Wagram, Paris, new and finest music hall in the aristocratic quarter of the Etoile. Paris journals are devoting considerable space to her, carrying her picture and speaking of her as "the most beautiful woman in the world." She has been on the stage only four
Film "Heroine"
The rumor-which is setting tongues in the capitals of three countries wagging, started with a story in a Berlin paper in which it was rumored that a certain German motion picture company had made a film in great secret which deals with the adventures of a certain monarch who she calls "Ollie". Although mother the King nor Miss Bayton has the film, the description and title as to whom the author means. Coupled with this is the fact that it is known that Miss Bayton has taken wagging cues in that country, where passions are strong and men丹 Duan jiaoens.
Entering this film, the Paris-Melbourne in its issue of April 12, tells the story with more candor. It says, "It is an extraordinary story that narrates us from Berlin. A film has been made on the screen the love affair of the European sovereigns and "the most beautiful colored woman in the world," the dancer, Ruth Bayton, deals with this, with a sportive ballet, which has rather gay themes of Frederickstrasse, and under the shadows of the Unter den Linden. It was a film only too well attended and the, government of the city paid a pretty stiff price for the film. We are saving it, the German film, has kept the film, has kept the on page Eight.)

NAME ON BALLOT FOR
NOVEMBER ELECTION
CHICAGO, ILL., (By Wire) — Oscar DePriest, former Alderman of the second ward and the first colored Alderman in Chicago, late Tuesday was elected as the Republican nominee for Congressman of the first district in place of the late Martin B. Madden.
DePriest's name will go on the ballot for November general election. He was picked at a meeting in the hotel Sherman-of-five. Republican committee of the first district Dan Jackson second ward committeeman, candidate were Wm. J. Dawson, who opposed Madden in the primaries and W. H. "Judge" Harrison, Assistant U. S. Dist. Attorney for Illinois.
Died Suddenly
Madden died in his office at the Capitol, Friday afternoon, from a heart attack. His passing was sudden to his office Friday morning he was apparently in good health. He had attended the meeting of the appropriations committee, of which he was man and was in the best of spirits.
Madden was elected to the fifty-ninth congress, 24 years ago, and every successive congress thereafter and candidate for reelection in November.
His interest in the progress of Howard University and Freedman's Hospital has been strong in battle which he waged to increase the annual appropriation, according to Emmett Scott, Sec. Treats of Howard. When Representative James W. McCarthy were receiving less than $50,000, the last appropriation to Howard University alone, was more than $300,000.
Cate Talks
Bishop Carrion, who was a close friend of the Congressman, in a statement to the Associated Negro Press declared: "There is another man in the United States Congress who will take his place in the outstanding defense he always made for the rights of the Negro." H. Wright under whose political management Mr. Madden was several times returned to Congress, is in Provident Hospital today to be interviewed.
Major Lynch
One of the twenty colored men who has sat in Congress is Major John R. Lynch now 81 years old, living 90 years, more than three terms in congress, not consecutive, but amounting to a total of six years between 1873 and 1883, as a representative from Mississippi.
Major was elected to the Mississippi legislature in 1869, was chosen speaker of that body and also was sent to Congress. Also was national conventions and was temporary chairman of the Chicago convention of 1884. He still practices law and is a specialist in the examination of little education.
DePriest at 57 is white-tailed and rich. He has been charged with being lead in the world and is a victim of little education.
If DePriest goes to Congress his salary will be $10,000 a year. He is now drawing $8,000 as a member of the Illinois Commission. Flight Loons

FORD AND CHEVROLET WON'T EMPLOY US
Shop Has No Color Line In Work Or Wages
ATLANTA, GA—The Chevrolet Motor Company opened its Atlanta plant last week. The Ford Motor Company re-opened its plant in Atlanta. These two plants employ about 800 people, and as a result of certain local white influences they refuse to employ colored people with the ex-immigrant population. The appeal of the local business league for more and better positions for our people, who use these makes of cars chiefly, has been in vain. The Pullman Company which opened its southern plant in Atlanta recently, employs colored people in every department, skilled and unskilled. It has a uniform wage scale and very little segregation. The management has refused the request of these same white influences to pay higher wages to the white than to the colored
The contention of Will Durant, a famous philosopher, that a man cannot love after 30 was rendered a knockout blow when Mr. Augustus Watts, 925 Argyle avenue, who is just 40 years older than Durant's theory allows, took Mrs. Mary F. Lee, of Charlestonville, Va., as his blushing bride, Wednesday. The bride, who is sweet 57, was, however, a little dubious about the existence of the passionate, pulse quickening emotions which come over youth when they are about to launch their barks on the troubled sea of matrimony. "I don't know if you really call it love," she said, sweetly, in an interview, "or whether we just want companionship." "Then this is one, those companion matriarchs," she said. "The look of reproof was, assurance enough that this was not any new fangled contraption, but an honest-to-goodness union just like they used to make me." Met Last December "Was this a long protracted relationship of experiences something like Eyngale, where you followed each other around until the years took their toll before you found happiness?" asked the bride. "By no means" said Mrs. Watts, "had we waited until May to marry, it would have been a May-December romance, not a month myself to grow, but young, but we only made last December and it was practically love at second sight. The second time I saw him siting in his window in a barn and deformed I felt sorry for him. Mr. Watts, who is a widower of long standing, has no children and was virtually alone in the world. Mrs. Watts, who is only of whom are married except one.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Walter A. English, pastor of Sharp Street M. E. Church, of which Mr. Watts has long ben a memorial to his years to his credit. Mr. Watts is still active around the house, stokes his own furnace and until recently was his own housekeeper.

ATLANTIC CITY—Three Baltimoreans were drowned and four others are suffering from exposure following the wreck of the excursion steamer "South Shore," owned by Captain George Brown, when it was washed aground off Tennessee avenue in a heavy gale while being towed to Baltimore, Friday night.
The men were swept into the sea and lost when a lifeboat, which was being lowered from the marooned steamer, caught at one end and fell overboard. The tragedy came after the steamer had been cut loose from the tug, Susan A. Morgan, which was towing the boat to Baltimore, during the storm. On the steamer, it drifted for several hours being tossed by the elements until midnight, when it was pounded ashore near Atlantic City. The boat was within two hundred feet of the boardwalk when about 6 a.m., the crew attempted to cast off in a life boat. Six of the men were lowered by Johnson, who was to jump after it had been launched. As the boat was being let down one of the ropes stuck in the wheeled wheel of the boat, and pitching the men critically they worked to straighten it, but before this could be accomplished a huge wave struck the boat, overturning and pitching the men. For some time they floated around, hold up by their life preservers and three of the crew managed to crawl the boat, but the other three were lost.
Coast Boats Too Small
Coast guards, under Captain Christophe Tirpier the rescue and are searching for the bodies of the missing. Captain Harry Yates and Captain Richard Hughes, of the Beach Purol, were the first to reach the ship, but had difficulty in reaching the boat in the heavy storm with their regular boats and turned back. It was necessary to transport a boat to the beach on a truck before the steamer could be reached. Two men were rescued when the boat filled so rapidly that they could not move quickly to shore and bale it out. They later returned for the other two.

Washington is ideal now — not too hot and not too cold — trees unfolding their new foliage, glorious autumn colors, and autumn rolling around the streets in their bright two-one hues, and all the radiant spring consumes!

Oh! The Dances!
But Lollipop, you want to hear about the indoor sports of last week. We danced ourselves silly — for there more than a half-down dances in it.
The KAPPA ALPHA PSI dance was Monday night at the Lincoln Colonnade, and the place was marvelously decorated. Healthy, the cannes are getting more and more gorgeous and beautiful models from Pason Lanvin and Jenny, and the young gentlemen are immaculate and well groomed from their shuck heads to their patent leather shoes. Why! erase the wall dwarfs' have an enormous matching the Tarpis-horse image.
the ALPHA PHI ALPHA gave their Prom at the Lincoln Colonnade last Wednesday night. The decorations were not as evasive as Monday, but they were still impressive. At times, the boys had the Alpha colors in a weaved design around the balcony. After frolling at the Alphea, they were dressed in a grand crown strung over to their brand new cabinet at 11th and P — and the good time issued until dawn. The girls of the PHI DELTA KAPPA school were dressed last Friday night. Murray's is beautiful in itself — and does not need much decoration. Although it rained like — well bleez! folks did not pay any attention to the dancers. Frowned out to dance who have not been out for a long time. There is a regular custom among the dancing crowd of Washington University or elsewhere. They are breath and their appearance creates a hit of a stir among those who are jaded after hours of dancing. I suppose that they have to take a few cat naps to ward off complete physical breakdown. The result is the dancing dolls who come on time usually get stuck up for the evening, and they are in order to tie with the desired one, who comes late.

Dr. Robert R. Moton, in delivering the principal address at the sixteenth anniversary exercises of Hampton Institute before 156 candidates for degrees and diplomas and 600 alumni and guests of the school, declared that there is more intra-racial dissertation than inter-racial.
"Beneath it was publicly said that one race must dominate and control the other or else be bound out. I have knowledge of the history of the United States before the War and think of it. I know black and white people have lived together in difficulties during and after the Civil War, and there are difficulties to day. But we have lived together in one of these difficulties."
"We have got to commit the white people, as General Armstrong did, all emphasized that the Nero was as far as racial relations are concerned and racial intolerance is so strong feeling on the part of Nero on intermarriage as in the part of white people today. We are怕intolerance with ourselves and at the same time to have the cooperation and help of the white people which we will return to in the fullest manner."

CLEANUP OR WHITEWASH-WHICH?
BY ALUMNUS
(Second Installation)
Quiet reigns on the Potomac; but, unless the writer misinterprets the oms, a squalid is brewing on the resent. Press this just like the city and the people hands has been placed a tightly sealed repart freighted with possibilities.
The ambassadors of decency, who are Deans South and West, Professors Coleman and Williams, and Registrar Wikinson. They can all be relied upon to govern their colleges and to give the female students just consideration.
Grave Situation
The situation facing President Johnson is thus far the gravest of his administration, and his stand will be taken as prophetic of the more difficult situation. To date, he has disallowed the perfect coolness and self-passion which are indispensable accompaniments of a great mind, but not likely to fail in this effort. The careers of the accused are not to be regarded lightly, but the protection of the female students is of great importance, and the female instructors, in a co-educational institution, and the female students there must be maintained a decent distance; and any indirection on the part of a male instructor should be avoided.
Not Trying Case
The writer is not trying the cases against these instructors, but he is frankly willing to join his forces with those people who are not flocking in their biossons to run out of the teaching profession all discoverable crooks. No one wants any injustice done; none is likely to be done. He is not sit idly by and watch female students in one of our greatest institutions mistreated. If female students are going to be characterized and regarded as shameless misfits all the female students at Howard University will be at the mercy of unsupervised instructors. Hard-Soft
College students not generally prone to misrepresenting their professors. They are likely to label some "hard" and some "soft"; or perchance some "geniuses" and some "fakes", but their minds do not ordinarily run with the attention of their professors. These cases are usually somewhat difficult to handle, for the prosecutors permit them to become enmeshed. There is, however, no need of such impediments. All that is necessary is to bring the accusers and the accused face to face, and then look. This is an unnerking formula.
Lochinvar
Not so long ago, a well-known case similar to the Howard mess, a young teaching Lochinvar, of the married species, mistreated a student girl and not away later to "commit suicide" when the girl faced him. Guilt resides upon the lips of lying men; and it can always be detected. The President needs no district attorney to handle the case for him. A trial is not made in instructors; instructors will deny most vivaciously that they are guilty. What else are they expected to do? Then will follow the usual plea

WASHINGTON, D C. — A marriage of 30 years is ending in the city of V. Holland, 206 ntrest, northwest, filed suit last Thursday in the District Supreme Court for a limited divorce and alimony, from Benjamin F. Holland Gun Springs, married earning $200 a month.
The couple were married June 22, 1858. They lived together until October 2, 1924. Benjamin, Jr. was born to them February 13, 1916. He married Mrs. Holland claims, they purchased the property at No. 206 dnear, jointly, but the deeds are in her husband's name.
Indebtedness on this property had been reduced to $1,400 on February 14, but on February 17 her husband, without her knowledge or consent, obtained a loan of $350 on this property, she states.
On February 18, her he sent her $5 every two or three months, Mrs. Holland declares, but he has contributed nothing to the support of her and their 12-year-old boy since he was born. As a child, he aristocrat and heart trouble, she says, and is not able to earn a livelihood.

matching their words against the accusers'
A feature of this case that must not be overlooked is that this is not the first time that at least two of the instructors have inductively been gossip. The writer knows for a certainty that one was brought before officials for indiscretion but wigged out of the charge largely through the assistance of his colleague, who both are up again on similar charges.
There are well seasoned persons who have heard these lurious rumors. They have expressed no surprise, but they have also expressed that these instructors have not been caught before. The condition of which the female students complain seems to be no secret. This advice is given to the guild in the environment calls for profound thinking on the part of those who wish to make Howard safe for female students.
Character
The first and most valuable quality of any instructor of youth is character. The worth of any instructor is measured not by yardsticks or statistical curves, but by sound character. Character is more serviceable than the world cannot make a liar true, or a moral leaper clean.

Immediate embarrassment, but it is hardly more than an endorsement of the school. Other cases are sure to follow. The accused become hardened and like children who escape the calamities of school life, and what thanks did you get for telling? The second method is to expose all crooks who are found guilty on reasonable effort to strike fear into them, then smile them with the fear of landing on the bricks. Howard University, excluding the turbulent reign of James the First, has been and still is as secure as it is at any educational institution. Not even outrageously inefficient instructors are requested to retire.

There is even a humane way of getting rid of those whose actions really are them; they are given a chance to learn and grow. After one, one reads of a Howard professor on a "leave of baseness." In some cases, it means an absence for ever and an anom. Instructors become too temperamental for the Howard atmosphere, they are permitted to resign with the grace and decorum of persons who really want to leave. All this is magnifying the power of the writer, who might help the situation to discharge an instructor whose actions justify such a step, but the writer will insist upon no definite method, none as guilty professors would.
Freezing Point
If a few "leaves of absence" of the strict Howard variety are granted, this unfortunate situation may clear up the problem. Students should realize that the recurrence of rumors involving their names with female students must necessarily raise the profile of the students and consequently bring the entire faculty into disfavor. Just now the influence of these instructors is at the freezing-point, and the students are not likely to press that the editors of the "Hilltop" have assumed a defiant attitude.
Faculty Tardiness
By way of digression, the writer wants to advise the editors not to be too concerned with the activity comes logically under the faculty. The embarrassment to the faculty lies in the tardiness to exert oneself and the lack of members of its own body were exposed. The editors will make a serious mistake if they persist in their stand, and the faculty can conscientiously support them. Though the "hands off" policy may be used as a facet, never survey its right to supervise every activity of its students.
Public Trial
By the time this article goes to press, some action may be taken relative to the charges against the accused in the case, but no one will insist that, if a trial becomes necessary, the public be permitted to listen in on it. If an epidemic of "leaves of absence" occurs, we shall know what conclusion to draw. We all trust that the Discipline Committee that sends adrift misbehaving students will be none the less severe upon members of their own craft, if they find the circumstances convicting.

Lay Representation Issue
From all sections of the United States trains and autos will carry nearly 1,000 delegates to Chicago, May 7th for the opening of the 28th quadrennial general conference of the A. M. E. Church.
Bethel A. M. E. Church, the Rev H. Y. Tookes pastor, is the host to the conference. The official headquarters of the conference is the Eighth Regiment Armory, 3517 Giles avenue, Bishop A. L. Gaines is chairman of the local entertaining committee.
The composition of the conference will include 14 bishops, 12 general officers, 16 college presidents and deans, 16 college various theological colleges, 15 U. S. Army chaplains and nearly 800 other delegates, some 275 of which will be hymen.
Lay delegates are, W. H. Thoroughgood, of Norfolk; W. H. C. Brown, of Newport News, and W. H. Brown, of Philadelphia.
The Rev. H. H. Cooper leads the Philadelphia Conference. Associated with him are the following honorees: Dell; E. T. Bruce, H. Waters, J. G. Beckett, W. C. Stewart, J. L. H. Watkins, T. J. Askew, gold, and silver; Anderson of West Chester, Pa., and J. R. Reed, of Bryn Maur, Pa.

The lay delegates are M. A. Allen, Buffalo; Wiley Overton, Brooklyn, and Thos. Edwards. Rotation Of Bishops One of the biggest problems to come before the General Conference is the rotation of bishops some of whom have served one Episcopal trist from 12 to 16. It is expected that the conference will make many changes in the Episcopal areas. Bishop J. Albert Johnson is not expected to return to the Second Episcopal area which includes Pennsylvania, Maryland Virginia and North Carolina. J.R. Representation
Laymen to the general conference are expected to make a determined fight for equal lay representation with the clergy in the annual and general conferences.
This has been a sore spot in the A. M. E. Church for many years because of the fact that which the only large denomination in which the clerical delegates outnumber the laymen. A. M. E. Church is also the only denomination which fixes a time limit for its pastors to serve at a single church. The law permits a pastor to be assigned for more than five years to a church in the case of a great emergency, but there are few pastors in the denomination who have been permitted to take advantage of their lay. Most of them are reassessed at the end of the five-year period and many of them before it has expired.
Enforcement of the time limit law has led to many solits in the denomination and caused scores of A. M. E. pastors to go out and set up separate churches of their own. Another special problem which will concern the conference is the organization system for ministers and increased provision for super-annuated widows of pastors
Program Sunday
Sunday, May 6th, at 10:30 a.m. Bishop J. A. Gregg, of South Africa, will preach in a pre-conference meeting in the morning. In the afternoon Bishop W. Sampson Brooks will preach. At night there will be a musical by the combined chors of B thel. Quinn Chapel, St. Mary's and Wayman Churches.

Richmond Preacher Denies That Negroes Are Satisfied without Ballot
RICHMOND. VA.—The men of the Might Street Memorial M. E. Church, Fifth District, are paying their pastor, the Rev. Robert M. Williams, B. D., in their special Men's Day Exercises Sunday.
The speaker has selected for his evening subject, "Taxation Without Representation or an answer to Carer Glass. Senator Carter Glass in the Senate has argued that the Negro of the South, "The South does not want Negroes within her boundaries to vote, and moreover, has no intention of permitting them to exercise the right of suffrage. While supremacy is too strong, a white candidate, the sake of a theoretical justice that would let a British African deem himself the equal of white men and women in Dixie."

NEWSPAPERS SCORED AT M. E. MEETING
NEWSPAPERS SCORED AT M. E. MEETING
Newpapers and modern writers in general were scored by the Rev. A. H. Whitfield for the manner in which they cast reflection on the church and discredit the ministry, at the M. E. Preachers' Meeting at the Sharp Street Community House, Wednesday. The pastor declared that although engaged in a similar work of educating the people, newspaper men did not feel obligated to help carry on the religious training of the people and maintained of the people the masses into the paths of right they were ridiculing the clergy, and retarding their work.
Not Preacher's Job
The discussion was the outgrowth of a paper read by the Rev. S. A. Lewis, in which he declared that the business of saving souls belonged as much to the laymen as it did to the preacher. No general, it matters not how brave and strong he may be, nor merely take his army and asks for their prayers and then goes out and fights the enemy alone." he declared. "The overseer in a factory does not lecture to his men once a week and then do all the work himself. The duty of the pastor is to train his members to carry on the work." The Rev. C. E. Queen stated that the ministry was that as soon as a pastor trained one group to aid him he was moved and had to start all over again.

To the Chairman, Bishop W. H. Heard, D. D., and members of the Publication Board of the African Methodist Episcopal Church:
We, your auditing committee, submit the following as our report. We met at 19th and Pemberton Streets, 8:30 A. M., April 23, 1928. The business manager, Dr. D. M. Baxter, turned over to us his books, namely: Ledger, Check Books, cancelled checks and vouchers, cash book, showing daily balance, bank books and files. These we have carefully examined, the books have been neatly kept and the accounts are accurate. All sales slips, vouchers, cancelled checks, receipts, order slips were carefully placed so that it was not difficult to find every item of receipts and expenditures of both business and building fund. This reflects great credit upon the Manager and his efficient staff of workers.
We found the Receipts and Expenditures for the fiscal year as follows:
We commend the Business Manager, Rev. D. M. Baxter, for the way he has handled the business generally and especially for his great achievement in erecting our magnificent Publishing House, and we recommend him to the Church for anything he desires to have.

KANSAS CITY, (Special)
—Over two hundred race delegates were in their places when the General Conference of the M. E. Church opened Monday.
Sentiment of the leaders is against the so-called "Baltimore Plan" of a jurisdiction within the church to include all colored churches and to be administered by all colored bishops and boards.
Dr. L. H. King, editor of the "S. W. Christian Advocate", said, "we are in the M. E. Cunen to stay.
We have no separate jurisdiction and no separate denomination. We are taking group self-direction within the church and Negro residential episcopal supervision. Success of Bishop Clair and Bishop Jones in their areas was pointed out as evidence of what should be general practice.
Bishops There
Bishop Matthew W. Clair, Bishop R. E. Jones and Bishop Isaiah Scott retired, were in Excelsior Springs Mo., Wednesday, to attend a meeting of bishops prior to the opening of the Conference.
Delegates
Delegates for the Washington Annual Conference were among the first to register. They included: Dr. W A. C. Hughes, Dr. Ernest Lyon, Rev E. S. Williams and Rev A. J. Mitchell. Lay delegates include: Dr. I Garland Penn. Julius Love, Ashbie Hawkins and Mrs. Tyler.
Fraternal Delegates
Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington, is the fraternal delegate to the M. E. Conference at Kansas City. Rev. E. S. Williams, pastor of Metropolitan Church, Baltimore, is the fraternal delegate to the A. M. E. Conference.

Those who would let God do all were similarly denounced by the preacher who said the Christian program was "work with God". At night with Robert L.

Greatest Honor Is To Lead
Life Of Sacrifice
Joining the church is not the
culmination, but the beginning of
a Christian's career," declared
the Rev. H. E. Walden, pastor of
Ebenczer A. E. Church, Sunday.
"Many people," he declared, "look upon joining the church as the final thing they have to do in order to get to heaven. When they put their name on the church roll they sit back and stop worrying about their soul's salvation and imagine that this fact alone will be sufficient to obtain an eternal reward."
Like The Army
"Joining the church," the pastor declared, "is like joining the army. A soldier is not a full-fledged soldier when he is first mustered in, but by long and tedious training he is whipped into shape and is made to fight the Lord's battle. The soldier, when he enlists in the army, severs his arms with a sword, affords and things of his civilian life and uses his mind on the regulations and demands of army life that he may be better prepared to overcome the enemy.
"The greatest honor a soldier can have is to be able to lay down his life for his country and in the spiritual warfare the greatest honor that a soldier can have is the life of a soldier ought to be living in." Rev. Walden spoke from the subject "God Leading His Church" "While the Bible points out the history of the early church and shows its development up to the present day, yet God is repeating his work and writing in the Bible with his hands and leads them on their way to Caanan throa, seeming impossibilities, over mountains of opposition, through blood and tears until he gives them a crown of righteousness," he said.

ATTACK AGAINST REV.
A. J. GREEN THWARTED
Rev. Sweeney Halts Laymen
From First Baptist Minis-
ter's Conference
WANTED LETTERS
Former Members Ordered To
Obtain Transfer Papers
A concentrated attack directed against the Rev. Albert Green, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, by a number of laymen from the First Baptist Church where he formerly pastored, was shattered by the Rev. J. C. Sweeney as the Baptist Minister's Conference when he objected from the floor to churches airing their differences at the meeting.
The objection was made followed a heated talk by Mrs. M. Minot of First Baptist Church, who said four other members came to subdue the Rev. Green to a verbal reading.
Wanted Letters
The attack was the outgrowth of a recent attack on the Rev. Mr. Green applied for recognition of new organized church. He was insulted by the Rev. Junius Gray, moderator to have his members, who surrendered from the First Baptist Church, obtain letters of transfer.
These letters were refused by the church, the pastor said.
The delegation from the church which was composed of Deacon Geeon Myers, John W. Jones, Albert S. Myers, John W. Jackson and Minor W. were preformed from making any attack on the pastor after Minor's speech indicated what the object of the visit was.
Mrs. Minor declared that it was time for Baltimore Baptists to stop the city and ministers who came to the city and ministers to church and especially they should recognize the Rev. Mr. Green because he had his church in a theatre.
Organization Illegal
The Rev. Junius Gray declared that Rev. Green's church was illegal because he were a church of First Baptist Members who had been released from that church any more than a man can live with another's wife until she is divorced.
Rev. Green stated that the order of the ministers from the mother church was but subterfuge to prevent the church from obtaining recognition.

Saturday, May 5, 1928
S. AFRICA GOT NO FUNDS FROM MISSION DEPT.
African Delegates Reach
New York Surprised To
Learn Funds Were Sent
AUDITORS DECLARE
$44,000 EXPENDED
Delegates Declare To Con-
trary They Sent General
Church $4,000
NEW YORK, (Special)—"We haven't received any money from the Missionary Department," declared the six South African Delegates to the A. M. E. General Conference, on their arrival Wednesday morning April 25th, 1928. This declaration was made in the face of a report of auditors of the Missionary Department of the A. M. E. Church stating, that $44,406 has been expended in South Africa. Bishop J. A. Gregg's work.
When asked how the A. M. E Church in South Africa supports its work, the Delegates, all of whom are presiding Elders, printed statement made by the Bishop for the year 1927. The Statement itself, reports receipts for Dolar Money, Easter Day, Education General Council, Contingent Ministerial Dollar, Collections to the amount of L2,616, or approximately 80,467.00, and disbursements as fol-
1083.
To Financial Dept. 407% - 4832. Approx.

# 165.00
To Washington, 81-6-66. Approx. $655.00.
A sum of over $4,000.00 is sent to
the Church in America every year
from darkest Africa!
today according to the Delegates, four Annual Conference are held during a Quadrennial, and the above report approximates receipts and disbursements for each year.
Delegates Surprised
The Delegates appeared decisively astonished at the report that $44,000 had been sent to the South African field and they advocated the information that Bishop Johnson was the only Bishop to leave any money in church in South Africa. The money left by Bishop Johnson amounted to L2,000 (pounds) or $8,000 and was banked, but today, nobody knows what has become of it. Concerning the magnificent Church Building at Cape Town, the Delegates explained that the money for this building was largely financed by the Women's Home and Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church in Cape Town and not the Missionary Department. Natives Raise Funds
The L2,000 ($8,000) for the erection of a boys' Dormitory in Eaton Institute, an A. M. E. School and one of the leading native schools in South Africa, was raised by the natives themselves in South Africa. The only L150 ($600,000) was raised in American L150 ($600,000) was raised in popular subscriptions.
Who finances your trips to America every four years?
"The Church in South Africa provides for that with the understanding that the mother of all Americans own our board and lodging expenses while over here and pay for our return tickets."
"No, no minister in South Africa is paid any salary by the Mother Church in America."
"The Delegates."
The South African delegation is scheduled to leave New York for Chicago, May 4th. They are Revs. J. Y. Tantil, leader, Mabote, Mareka, Nishawana, Demas, and C. Nyombon.
with the delegates are Chief Nymale sent here by King Sobhuza of Swaziland in connection with the building of an institution for his people; and Mrs. Maxeke, a former graduate of Wilberforce University, and now a welfare worker and a probation officer in Johannesburg, Mrs. Maxeke is here on an institution from the Missionary Women of the A. M. E. Church in Ohio.

ITALIAN AND RACE MOTHERS MIX BABIES
NEW YORK—A traffic jam, which required the strenuous intervention of police, was caused here Monday, when Mrs. Addie Washington and Mrs. Antoinetti Donnetti, white, got their babies mixed in the 125th street shopping district, and carriages which resembled each other, were blamed for the mistake, which caused Mrs. Donnetti to hurry out of a store, hand the sidewalk checker a quarter, and roll off with Mrs. Washington's young hopeful at about the same time Mrs. Washington was wheeling away the young son of Han. But when the street a few pearls Mrs. Washington, with motherly instinct, peeped into her carriage to coo some baby talk, the trouble began.
"Good Lawdy, this ain't mine," she gasped. There was confusion a plenty, and when officers overhalled Mrs. Donnetti and she also discovered that there had been some kind of changes made, there was more confusion and rumbling in the Italian language.
But the real fun began when the two women met, each accusing each other of laving their minds. Of that laving she cared the mind and the mothers went their way.

LIBERIAPAYS SEVEN PER CENT ON BIG LOAN
Two Fifths Of Entire National Income Goes To Pay On Loans
stone Agreement
NEW YORK—Liberia in paying 7 per cent interest on her 40 year $5,000,000 loan and $50,000 yearly to U. S. officials for administration uses two fifths of her national income for this purpose, according to Raymond Leslie B u e l l, writing in the current Nation.
The present loan, according to Mr. Buell, involves a series of "agreements" which gives the Firestone Tire Company, of Akron, O., the million-acre rubber corporation of which Harvey Firestone is the head, virtual control over the finances of the country, places the fiscal affairs under a financial adviser designated by the President of the United States and has brought about a condition whereby the Liberian treasury may not write a single check until it has been okeyed by the American auditor. Of this $5,000,000 loan the Finance Corporation of American, though to be a creation of the Firestones, has purchased bonds to the amount of $2,500,000 at the price of 90, thus raising a profit of $250,000 and leaving to the Liberian Government $2,250,000.
Out of this $2,250,000 the Liberian Government must pay to start with $1,185,200 of the 1912 bonds, the $35,000 to the American Government for Liberia's expense at the Paris Peace Conference and pay off her internal debt. When this is done she will be able to construct work, provided the recent jaint of President King, which started very soon after the completion of the "agreement", has left any for education, etc.
Why Hood Quit
Why Hood Quit
Firestone Plantation him the lease of a million acres for 99 years at six cents per acre and coupled with it the $5,000,000 seven per cent loan with supervision of Liberian customs.
In 1926, the Liberian Legislature voted down this plan despite coercion and pressure of both a financial nature and boundary law between the two states. Firestone was ready to quit, and Hood, the U. S. Minister, recalled. Liberia weakened then and the deal went through.
Favors Development
While Liberian officials and the more enlightened natives favor the operation of such a concern as the Firestone Plantation Company in the country and giving employment to its people, which will be used chiefly by them, the hinterland natives, who must furnish the land and labor, have a different view.
It is also pointed out that the system of recruiting the 300,000 landless Firestone employees will may involve the same kind of forced labor which produced the scandals in the Belgian Congo.
Another evil cited is that while the American Government will name the officials in charge of the Liberian affairs they will have no control over them, and the men who collect the customs, run the army, and collect the taxes, the American Government will treat its natives will be under the control of the National City Bank of New York and the Firestone interests. Some idea of what this means will be gleaned from a fact that costs 49 per cent to collect customer information Sierra Leone, it costs 24.3 per cent for Americans to do it in Liberia.

INJUNCTION SOUGHT IN HARLEM ICE WAR
INJUNCTION SOUGHT IN HARLEM ICE WAR
NEW YORK—A new angle of the bitter ice and coal war, being fought between Italian and race dealers developed here last week when the Italian dealers sought to secure an injunction restraining the New Colonial Ice Company, a big white firm, from furnishing ice to the colored dealers. The fight, which started so soon, was won by the $140,000 Jones Brothers Company, was organized and bought out the Knickerbocker Ice Company, may be taken into the churches, it is said, if the Italian dealers persist in their effort to freeze out the colored retailers by court, or boycott methods. At a large mass meeting held Wednesday night, colored retailers protested against the method being used to freeze out the ice, a revolution, it was urged that every means be taken to guarantee the Jones Company the opportunity to distribute ice to Harlem people.

Ancient Driver And Nag Make Sales Of McKay's Book Mount
Six-Foot Reproduction Of Novel On Rickety Wagon Aids In Selling "Home To Harlem"
NEW YORK. — Old Dobbin (now considered a back number on most Main Streets) and an old driver of a rickety wagon have aided in putting Claude McKay's new novel, "Home to Harlem", somewhat in the ranks of the best sellers.
The poet-author tale of a black Odessy is credited with having reached 10,000 sales in Harlem during the first two weeks it was on the market. An advertising scheme is credited with having added considerable impetus to the demand for the publication.
William Robinson, who admits that he has reached the venerated age of 68 years, was engaged along with his wagon which might have inspired the poet's raving about "The One Hoss Shay". His aged but trusty horse was included in the outfit.
SIX-Foot Book On Wagon
A man named Robinson six feet high, and made of waterproof material, was mounted on the creaking vehicle. Leaving upton New York every morning, Robinson drove his nag about the streets of the city. The amusing and almost pathetic character of Robinson the book stores, but also won him the right of way from the Manhattan police.
Sells Himself
Following two weeks of this work, Robinson, himself became interested in McKay's story. He proceeded to express his desire to read the tale and presented a copy by the publishers.

Louis Marshall Calls Proposed Legislation "Injurious To Negro"
N$W YORK—The N. A. A. C. P. is joining Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Washington, in opposing enactment by Congress of Senate Bill 3151, Calendar No. 624, introduced by Senator Norrish Nebusbaum, of District Bill to limit the jurisdiction of District Courts of the United States."
Dr. Scott was first to point out that this bill, while ostensibly designed to relieve the heavy docket of Federal Courts, would throw cases such as peonage now brought by colored people before Federal Courts into the jurisdiction of State Courts, would throw injuries to the interests of the Negro, but it is my purpose to fight the measure on much broader grounds.
"There is no reason why our organization should not register its opposition to this emasculatory measure, which practically destroys the State District Courts and nullifies the clearly expressed intention of the Constitution as interpreted from the very beginning of our government, namely, that the Federal judicial power shall extend to controversies between citizens of different states, as provided in the Constitution, Members of the N. A. A. C. P., throughout the country are urged to write their Senators protesting against this Bill, Senate Bill 3131, Calendar 634, and using a vote against it in the Senate.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER
I want to emphasize a fact that our young men and women need to learn, and that is, they need not stay in the place where they were born. We might give them the advice the blessed Saviour gave the blind man, to take care of them. We have too many young men in this city waiting Micawber like* for something to turn up. The one thing we need greatly is to get to work and turn something up.

Bishop Carey
Three reasons impel the AFRO-AMERICAN'S hope that Bishop Archibald Carey of Chicago shall succeed to the seat in Congress made vault by the unexpected death of Martin B. Maden. The first Illinois district has a majority of colored votes. Colored people are badly in need representation in the higher elective offices government. Bishop Archibald Carey as a high power politician will find himself more at home in coness than in the church. He manages at present to retain his post as civil Service Commissioner in Chicago and at the same time his seat on the episcopal bench. to congress of necessity he must make choice between church and state. As it is he dignifies neither. Surely some may be found to "kick him upstairs."

Can Wm. P. Hold On?
Mr. Wm. P. Jackson faces the fight of his in the primaries Monday for reelection as rebellion national committeeman for Maryland. Time was when the word of the Honorable Wm. P." was law not only on the Eastern shore but also in the state. His Easternshore ore mills scattered prosperity over a wide area and brought in businesses associates andalters to carry out his orders. Then came the war and independence for my Eastern Shoremen. The Jackson mills were moved to North Carolina and "Wm. P."ken in health but not in spirit left the states long periods to recruit physically in Loon The gods were kind to him; they gave him health and they robbed him of his right hand, Marion Humphreys, more gifted in making mier than friends for "Wm. P." Opposed to Mr. Jackson is ex-Senator O. E.er, who having out of Washington, finds himself in order to main-his hold on party leadership. it will be a grand fight with "Wm. P." have a good chance to carry the city and Mr. er hoping to run off with the counties. Can "Wm. P." hold on" is as good a ques-as "can Mr. Weller come back."
Mr. Wm. P. Jackson faces the fight of his life in the primaries Monday for reelection as republican national committeeman for Maryland. Time was when the word of the Honorable "Wm. P. Jackson" shouted from the Shore but also in the state. His Eastern Shore lumber mills scattered prosperity over a wide area, and everywhere there were associates and subalterns to carry out his orders. Then came the war and independence for many Eastern Shoreen. The Jackson mills were moved to North Carolina and "Wm. P." moved but not in spirit to the state for long periods to recruit physically in Loon Lake, N. Y. The gods were kind to him; they gave him his health and they robbed him of his right hand. Mr. Marlon Humphreys, more gifted in making enemies than friends for "Wm. P." Opposed to Mr. Jackson is ex-Senator O. E. Weller, who having lost out in Washington, finds himself in a position to order to maintain his hold on party leadership.
"Can "Wm. P." hold on" is as good a question as "can Mr. Weller come back."
The School Board
The Public School Association thru Presi-
William Dr. Roseneau not only erred in making
it its letter to Archibishop Curley before it
delivered, but it also acted in bad faith by
bringing the religious question in the matter of
board appointments.
It is true that His Grace as head of this
disciple directs the education of a large
number of children in the Catholic schools of
city, nevertheless as a resident of the city
a taxpayer, he has the right to endorse
his letter by a vote.
Forever, Mr. Lilly might have noted had
looked carefully that the Archbishop's letter
urged Dr. Rheta for a place "on one of
the boards of the city" and not specifically
the school board.
The religious issue was not raised by Mr.
when the Annual Conference of the M. E.
ich endorsed Dr. Rheta in a letter to the
theological school. A look and a war
arison was taken by the Baptist and
administrators' Conferences as well as Dr.
Ainslee of the Christian Church why raise
when Archibishop Curley mingles his voice
the others.
This week, Rabbi William Roseneau, a veng-
pastor of the Jewish faith adds his word
take the endorsement from all creeds com-
munity.
Roseneau's letter to the mayor was wily
the rabbi altho he knew that Mr. Theo-
Strauss, also a Jew, is one of the candi-
fier of the three school board vacancies.
Rabbi Roseneau "I believe that no number
(a colored person) should have
access to the Board of Education of Bali-
li." "I feel obligated to speak—when a mat-
question involves the exercise of justice."
Mr. Lilly get away from the question of
is right and justify an appeal to race or
was hatred? We think not.
The Public School Association thrus President William D. Lilly not only erred in making public its letter to Archbishop Curley before it was delivered, but it also acted in bad faith by raising the religious question in the matter of school board. It is true that His Grace as head of this Archdiocese directs the education of a large number of children in the Catholic schools of the city, nevertheless as a resident of the city and a taxpayer, he has the right to endorse individuals for public office. He may have noted had he looked carefully that the Archbishop's letter endorsed Dr. Rhetta for a place "on one of the public boards of the city" and not specifically for the school board.
If the religious issue was not raised by Mr. Lilly when the Annual Conference of the M. E. Church endorsed her to do so, the Man of the Church Bishop C. F. Looks and other similar action was taken by the Baptist and Methodist Ministers' Conferences as well as Dr. Peter Ainslee of the Christian Church why raise it when Archbishop Curley mingles his voice with the others.
This week, Rabbi William Resenau, a venerable pastor of the Jewish faith adde his word to make the endorsement from all creeds complete.
Dr. Roseneau's letter to the mayor was written by the rabbi altho he knew that Mr. Theodore Strauss, also a Jew, is the candleholder of the vaccination. Says Rabbi Roseneau "I believe that one of their number (a colored person) should have a place on the Board of Education of Baltimore." I feel obligated to speak—when a matter comes up, I will speak. Can Mr. Lilly get away from the question of what is right and just by an appeal to race or religious hatred? We think not.

It unfortunate that the question of racial integrity and intermarriage is one that so many educators consider timely before college students.
Witness the address of Dr. R. R. Moton, President of College Nutrition Alabama, before the 65 candidate for graduation at Hampton reported in this issue of the AFRO.
Dr. Moton spoke to a group of young people three fourths Negro and one fourth white, who had nothing to do with the fact that they had mixed blood in their veins. The stronger race not the weaker one should have had this lesson. The more weaker they are laws and are enforced. In those states where no laws against interracial marriages exist, marriage is a question of individual choice. Would Dr. Moton have these states also pass anti-marriage laws?
The so-called race problem is the hardest nut the Negro-American has to crack. It keeps him out of work, out of homes in pleasant neighborhoods, out of the vote, out of comfortable pulman cars, out of places of amusement, and often of education.
Because of color differences go hungry with money in their pockets and do menial work, because the skilled jobs are not open to them.
If there are any difficulties more serious than these, we have yet to hear them mentioned. But they are not to be solved by discussing racial intolerance or race differences. Mr. Claire's doctrine that there is no race except the human race needs a hearing in the South. Incidently, a man of Nazareth preached from the same text nineteen hundred years ago.

According to the dictionary, a negress is a female negro. Consequently, the wife of a negro is a negress; the mother of a negro is a negress; the father of a negro is a negress; the sister of a negro is a negress.
The wife of a negro bishop is just as much a negress as the daughter of a negro preacher. The daughter of a negro editor is just as much a negress as the daughter of a negro doctor is just as much a negress as the mother of a negro dentist. The mother of a negro teacher is just as much a negress as the wife of a negro politician.
In the Bible, also automatically accepts the name Negro for himself, also accepts the name negress for all of his feminine relations.

This Reader Has Gotten Wisdom From The Forum Letters Concerning The Bible.
To the Forum.
I have been interested in reading the minds of the different writers of the AFO. When I read the criticisms on the Bible, I was in sympathy with the possessor of such a mind, for I have had similar mind but I was afraid to speak it. By being afraid I began to receive the "fear of God" the beginning of wisdom"; and after wisdom, understanding.
"God wisdom and with all thy getting, get understanding."
There is a vast difference between the knowledge of this world and the wisdom of God. Time and circumstances have a great deal to do with the things we want to understand, and it is just as impossible to read them out with our mind as it is for me to get some views of the surrounding country downstairs.
When I go up stairs I get many views from different windows. When we put down the carnal mind and take up the spiritual, then will we get the right interpretations of the scriptures and find God's word true.

Thinks Senator Blease's Praise of Dr. Mance Should Not Disqualify Latter As A Candidate for the Bishopric.
To the Editor:
I read a communication to your paper last week, signed by one C. G. Garrett, pertaining to a letter of apology from the opinion in the A. M. E. Church. It is the primal intent of Garrett to defeat Dr. Mance by any means possible, because Dr. Mance has refused to assent to Garrett's transactions. Garrett believes that a splendid organization to discredit Dr. Mance in the eyes of his constituency presented itself when Senator Blease refused to discredit Garrett to dispose to his (Blease's) opinions regarding race relations. In the first place, Dr. Mance is in no wise responsible for what Blease thinks his ideas are. Next, if he does hold the views the Senator alges, it is his malenable right to think whatever he chooses. It appears to me that it is indeed malicious for anyone to seize upon so finely a social conal honor. As for Dr. Mance, I suppose that he, like most of the other leaders of our group in the South, wants to maintain the good-will of the opposition group and deal with them, their affiliates and group taken. Let us remember that because a statement is made, even by a senator, it need not be true.
It might be interesting to the public to learn that Dr. Mance's assailant is a minion of "Boss Joe" Tole, Republican National Committee member, who does everything he possibly can to prevent the Negro's coming into his politically.

The primal intent of Garrett to defeat Dr. Mance by any means possible, because Dr. Mance has refused to accept the nomination.

Next, if he does hold the views the Senator alleges, it is his inalienable right to think whatever he chooses. It appears to me that it is indeed the case that Dr. Mance is not but of propaganda to-defeat a candidate for Episcopal honors.

There they have the pledge of absolute local autonomy, with the privilege of continuing such Methodistic customs as they may see fit, not only in the Episcopal Church, but in the Church.

When Mayor Malster Named A Whiskey Dealer
On Board Of School Deigned To Reform

No longer a member of the Board of Mergers of the House of Reformation, I desire I must have to review some of the planks of the work of that institution. I wish only indicate the particular incident which fixed my attention upon that institution.
During the year 1888 I was the public author. "The Ledger," a weekly publ. citation of this city, state were under Republican rule. I Lowndes was the Governor, and William Malster, was Mayor.
In the issue of "The Ledger" March 12, there was this Editorial:
THE MISTAKE OF MAYOR MALSTER

Some weeks ago the Mayor of Baltimore pointed two white citizens as the city's mayor of the Board of the Cheltenham House, and two black citizens as the city's appointments were announced, through the the attention of Mayor Malster was called the the attention humiliation which such an act of the the attention respect to the many qualified and capable colorless the Mayor left the impression upon the the the men who directed his attention to the men that he would most gladly rectify the mist and present and surprise, we were informed present week, through the daily press, that it is an that of the appointees had resigned, and immediately following this information is the statement that the appointed appointee promised not politician in his steet not gentleman in his a WHISKEY DEALER
Some weeks ago the Mayor of Baltimore appointed two white citizens as the city's mana-ger, the Board of the Dilehman House of Reformation and the Board of the Reformation appointments were announced, through the press the attention of Mayor Malster was called to the seeming humiliation which such an act needed, with respect to the many qualifi- cations and capabilities he with respect to the gentlemen who directed his attention to the matter, that he would most gladly rectify the mistake of his intervention in our great amaze-ment and support; we were informed a week前 week, through the daily press, that one of the appointees had resigned, and immediately following this information is the statement that the Mayor had appointed a prominent white politician, who is the WHISKFY DEFALTER, a gentleman who is a WHISKFY DEFALTER.
WHISKEY DEALER
It may not, of course, be unlawful to appeal a white man, a whiskey dealer, as a manager of a House of Reformation for Colored Boys, to a colored People of this country, such an appointment. But our main object is not that the man appointed is a whiskey dealer but we do maintain, most earnestly, the colored People of Baltimore, well as that of those retained in the mary institution, seem to require some color men on the Board of Managers. There is no good reason in the world why colored people are colored because they are COLORED. The work of the institution is decidedly moral. The moral routines of the unfortunate colored boys of the institution can be more successfully reached than is possible by white men.
INSULT
Whether Mr. Malster intended or not, his action is a direct insult to the intelligence and capability of the many able, refined and worthy colored men of Baltimore City."
All this was in the days when the masses of our people were blindly attached to the picture of Abraham Lincoln on the Republican ticker.
Two years later, although the masses of our group still stuck to Malster, there was a small remnant of us who helped to defeat him, by voting for Hayes, Wilmer, and Smith. But, unbeknownst to him, the Hayes administration, the Board of Managers, selves, fully conversant with the views of the writer, upon the recommendation of the late M. Golbsour Griffith, manumously elected his chairman, and he was the first member of the colored group to sustain membership on that board.
It may not, of course, be unlawful to appoint a white man, a whisky dealer, as a manager of a company or Colored Boys, but we feel sure that the situation is not worsened. People of this city is certainly adverse to such an appointment. But our main objection is not that the man appointed is a whisky dealer, but that he must maintain, most earnestly, that the best interest of the man is well as that of those detained in that Reformatory institution, seem to require some colored men on the Board of Managers. The world why colored men should be left of such a board solely because they are COLORED. The work of the institution is decidedly moral. The moral nature of the unfortunate colored boys of that company is successfully reached by good, reliable honest and revered colored men than is possible by white men.

All this was in the days when the masses of our people were blindly attached to the picture of Abraham Lincoln on the Republican ticket. Two years later, although the masses of our group still stuck to Malster, there was a small group of voters who were voting for Hayes, Wilmer, and Smith. But, just a few months before the beginning of the Hayes administration, the Board of Managers, themself, voted to nominate the writer, upon the recommendation of the late Mr. Golbsburg Griffith, unanimously elected him to membership on the Board, and he was the first group to sustain membership on that board.

Now there is a compulsions anything. As a member of the Student Council, about the affair, as might be expected, until I read it in the paper. In a case like this the paper should have been the last resort. The student council would have supplied such information, the faculty, the trustees. If after trying all of these, the situation should exist, then the paper should have been resorted to. This was not the point for saying that is this: The Alumnus who wrote that article should have made investigations before writing it. He should have known just what actions the students have taken. The student council would have supplied such information. Evidently he did not have this information. If he did have it then he should not consider him. He is not a loyal Alumnus then he should keep one of the affairs of Howard because he will be able only to see the bad side of the institution.
As to criticise another article in the same issue: Jay McGraw is the author of Penrose Everhard Goodall. This article is one of the most unsound and untrue articles published. We will have three white Deans left in school, Dean of Applied Science, and Dean of Religion. I could prove most of this article wrong.

Nothing To Prevent A. M. E.'s Return To Mother Church Where Laymen Have Long Hail Equal Lay Representation And Local Autonomy.
To the Editor:
To the Editor:
There is one very practical consideration where the Episcopal Church governs authorities in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, seriously consider the proposition of admitting their liaity to equal representation in their local conferences.
The people in the church who are making this righteous demand are among the most intelligent and efficient. While there is a sacred holdings them as African Methodists', yet, in the case of making other ecclesiastical adjustment and still remain "African Methodists". I mean by this, that there is nothing that they really love the Methodism' which is incompatible with their return to the Church wherein Methodism was born.
There they have the pledge of absolute local autonomy, with the privilege of continuing such Methodism' which is not in conflict with the general government of the Church. They sustain lay representation, and equal at that, wherever the clergy are represented by the Negro Episcopal parish was composed of "African Methodists' who are courage to treat with the Episcopal Church, lay down their own demands, and win freedom from for the race, in absolutely governing their own affairs from the Church without. So, when such return to the Church Methodism was born, they but avail themselves of the concessions which their own group gained from the Episcopal Church when they were in the local Church, Philadelphia. For all time, they gained for members of the African race who should unite with the Episcopal Church, a status as an organized body, with the right of self-education and guidance of an intelligent ministry of their own race.
There is one very practical consideration which should cause the governing authorities in the church to consider the proposition of admitting their laity to equal representation in their local and national life. The people in this Church who are making this righteous demand are among the most insensitive and efficient. While there is a sacred sentiment which the Church denies "its, yet not a few of them know that they can make other ecclesiastical adjustment and make a better life for them," this that there is nothing that they really love in "Methodism" which is incompatible with their turn to the Church wherein Methodism was born.

Pullman Company Aided Cal's Campaign
(From Daily Worker)
Edward F. Carry, head of the Pullman Co. last month took the stance under summons in the Chicago end or the Taopot Dome investigation in the sub-committee, he told of donations in $2,000, $3,000 and $5,000 chunks to the corrupt republican national committee. The $5,000 contribution was dishing out the Sinclair Liberty bonds to Andy Mellon and others. The generous sums given to President Coolidge's party by Carry were in reality swapped out of the porters' malds in his corporation's employ.
Are Women People?
(From Atlantic City Times)
A glowing tribute to his departed
minister, of 2019 Magellan avenue, one
of the $25 awarded offers by Liberty
magazine recently for the best answers
to the question.
"I could give no other than an affirmative answer. My wife has been my best friend and most important friends. She has been my all in all."
"When despondent, it was she who deserved the gloom by her cheerfulness and her glad, and rejoiced in my joy. She seemed to think that her one function was to be happy. When funds were low, she always had a way to make it a sufficiency.
"She had great interest in my work. She was a great friend to my place, to the great joy and relief of many of the congregation.
Now that she is gone, life for me has not, or the present at least, all its charms."
(From Berlin Md. Times)
**From Berlin, Md. Times** The Times. The Times ever pardoned the gallows and been built for his execution, was buried at Snow Hill last Wednesday. He was John Shelly Hudson, 60, of native New York. On February 7, 1890 he shot John Butts and was indicted by the Worcester Circuit Court and sentenced to be hanged the murder. For a few hours he was pardoned. For a few months 12, 1890, the Negro was pardoned by former Governor Phillips Lee Goldsborough and given life imprisonment. After serving 23 years in the prison, he was released 1933, returning to this county to live.
No New Negro
Gustavus A. Stewart in "Social Forces"
Let is be repeated finally that there is no New Negro. What the Negro is doing in economic and civil way, he has always doing. The basis of all this unceasing chatter about the New Negro lies in fact that what he has always been doing he is now doing better. In other words he is now more Negroes with something to say, more capable of saying it convincingly, and possessed of more media through communication. It is to be expected after a half-century cation and intelligent contact with western civilization? Negroes are today more articulate than they were five years ago. They have now own a press a medium of incalculable force, while increasingly the columns of metropolitan月刊s, of erudite quarterlies of them, of them houses, solicit the manuscripts prominent colleges invite them to lecture, great absorbed audiences tumultuously applaud as they sing, they are being heard and seen and felt and understood as never before. But a New Negro? Hardly!
Century Plant Myth
The belief that the century plant blooms once in 100 years is a myth. The period of flowering of this intergranular plant is the vigor of the individual plant, the climate and the richness of the soil. In warm climates, such as in Mexico and Central America, the original plant blooms rapidly and usually blooms about the seventh or eighth year, seldom later than the twelfth. After flowering the century plant dies down to the twelfth, the plants usually arise from the roots.

"THE AFOB CARRIES MORE NEWS ANOTHER WEEKLY." - Eugene Gordon, 1927. Surrey.
Some idea of what the younger generation thinks of the older can be obtained from the following bit of conversation of a Biddle street sheik and a Pennsylvania avenue Sheba. Say kid, what are we going to do with these one-domeas who dubs themselves the cloak? Why those cloops is getting beyond themselves, just last night I ambles home unexpectedly and catches my stealing a draig on my cigars. "That ain't a hurrah in Hades, big boy, you has emitted words but ain't consequences. Why I ain't been able skuttel of powder or rouge in the house since my old man drags his grandmother the dugout. My favorite baskimmer has been skutting her for the last ten years and instead of calling on her dressmaker for a she snatches my best abbreviated and steps out for a thrill and lumbrade."
"You is howling loud enough, sweet mamma, but your squawk is as quack compared to the injustices which has grandpa. That bewildered fossil audacity to ask me to give him a knock down to some of the janes of my acquaintance. Imagine him with an under a bombstone and the other on a rock to talk turkey to the skirts I know. Why they could entertain that rattleholes on an iceberg and make a beach suit and then ask for a food." "Big boy, how do you fure you hits a higher average than I do. What comes to registering comments of humanity. There is a hunk of rag and bones on my mother's side of the family who is so old that she and put a dime a week in the bank. You can pay off the European war debt and enough left over for her relatives to break her will about. That that baby wants me to throw a party and that friends around to a necking. Why just one kiss from the kind of yeggmen that I have out with would cause the plating in her false teeth of her mouth like whipped cream."
"But wouldn't I knock you for a see of Scandinavian hothouses to you? You'd have to bubble over with brains. Just because they has cluttered up the globe bundle of years they think they have on the personal experience market.
Heard And Seen In Baltimore

"Why. I could spot any one of them whitelocked babies a row of hopelessly overweight them, then overwalt them, then sewishizing them for more forget when I fell out of the cradle on my head than those babies will learn in the next thousand decades.
"And what is all this ruckus they is kicking up about companionate marriage? Don't them hard arteries realize that we have to change matrimonial ties of oftenater at the place we live, to change the life on a pair of stilts. They trying to keep up with us is like a crippled terrain trying to overtake a rabbit. We don't kick has these wrinkles got against the methods of playing the game of marriage on the rise and fly style? It ain't no braids in their hair if we reneges on it. We'll finish the installments on the way. They ain't done so hot themselves because statistics prove that three is less people snoring in each other's sleep and that reaches the age of 60 than before."
"And what do you think of their exact onions on the liquor quest? Personally, I would much rather have condiments, a smile on my musk and my spirit doing a loop the loop than to craw into respectful old age with a disarming enoughe turn communion wine into winecane.
"And if they don't like it because we devour a tumbler full of beverage made out of ginger ale and mules over a precipice and see if I get the gout from weeping salt tears on my buns.
"Did you ever pool your cans and grab a mouthful of this holoera they broadcasts about the old time dances. To hear these scary scales you would think that when they nineties it was for getting converses.
"Even if we do not on the raw rocks to the time of hold-me-tight fact that the only reason that them babies nut on a stand off act when they did the Virginia Wheel was healed to get back to nature."
"And how come they is always giving us the razz about the kind of things we just use, because they carried enough courage to break a camel's back is no reason why we should follow suit. If nature chases you, you wouldn't have much time making them as pretty as they is. No sir, I'm in favor of a red ink on these older generation plants because they ain't my favorite color."

DAY BY DAY
No Jim Crow
Laws For Germs
"Negroes may be successfully segregated, but germs laugh at barriers," declares Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald program at the current MODERN HOSPITAL.
This statement coming from Mr. Rosenwald's Fund director on the heis of the announcement that this group was questioning health among our people in the South with the same generosity and thoroughness with which it attacked the rural school program in the South.
In the first place, if all interracial problems were approached with the same scientific attitude, and attacked by as true a diagnosis as any other group of germs, all forms of segregation would be wiped out in short order.
In a marble studded cemetery dug out in the South, the rich bury their dearest is a little ground above a four-year-old white child, virtually murdered by germs as a result of the prejudice and narration of certain of her white folk.
Twelve years ago, this writer, working with the physician who attended his life, in her exile, while living in the city, run down the source of the diphtheria germ which slipped across the color line and ate the life out of her innocent heart. We first saw it in a miserable hovel on one of the open bayous where low wages and job segregation had crowded a group of umbraines and had already taken a tilt of two other just as innocent human mites. From there we followed it to a frowning fox and from there a fox and from there a home where a maid had unknowingly picked it up and given it a ride on the street car to the exclusive white restroom. Some of the days wise white folk will realize that the consequences of ignorance, of unjust economic discrimination of unnumerable of restricted housing, all follow the same course and come back to visit them like germs.
The Basic Cause
If the Rosenwald Fund decides to tackle the problem of health of the masses, we hope that while people will seek to be able to will seek also to eradicate the cause. Any study of relative death or health figures of the two races finalizes the basic economic background that the virus of disease will have cultural medium in about the same proportion as it tolerates the virus of disease. We must teach that kind of jobs and salaries race men can have upon which to rear their families.
A government which collects taxes thereby puts taxes in districts distribute these taxes in jobs and advantages to whites only; an industrial system which arbitrarily colored you can't stand behind a counter, man machines as skilled workers, or handle typewriters and books in big concerns, helps conditions where disease flourish.
A few nurses and health centres scattered throughout the countryside are a palliative, but the real cure will come when we cut out the cause that makes us ill. That is, every CHILD MAY BE BORN HEALTHY. BE READED IN HEALTHY HOME. AND HAVE THE SAME HEALTHY OUTLOOK ON LIFE.
Marcus Garvey's New Program
Unless Marcus Garvey intends purposefully to discourage a reorganization of the more intelligent of his former black communities to those whose knowledge of European politics is nil, he certainly cannot hope to arouse any great enthusiasm for his new program and for his departure across the pond. With his experience with ill-fated financial schemes in which millions were thrown to the winds, even if he had been pected that he would have studied carefully any project for which in the future he would seek to gather more sheckles. But his colonialization would limit. With England trembling over caudifon of turmoil in India and African natives already scotching the forest, the man is a fool who believes in his intention some day to overthrow a country to welcome a large colony headed by a man of the Garvey type who before hand announces his intention some day to overthrow a country. Yee Garvey announces that he intends to raise a million dollars with which to buy a large strip of land from the very people whose unkind he seeks. Will they sell it to him?
So patently foolish is this Carvery dream that one wonders if Gavrey's speech was not been effected or if he believes thunder and then again bambooze his faithful adherents out of more money for his depleted coffers.
To Egypt
Just this week, England has sent an ultimatum to Egypt which may be published by war ships, to curb proponga against foreigners is prograted. And even America, as an ally of Liberia in this issue of the AFRO, has joined the Europeans in the fight of throttling, any aggression in that country.
It will not let Garvey is in Europe to make an effort to preempt one of those countries to set him up as monarch over a strip of Africa that he can finally take possession of whole continent. That's rich.
There have been many intelligent people in this country, who believe that the provisional president of Africa is in earnest and that all he must be efficient staff to properly execute this these people will be disappointed and even some of his faithful followers must be disillusioned by the success of his recent announcements.
It is therefore deliberate deception to corral money from the unwary maniac to ensure ignorance on his part as to the present European situation.
Challenge To The
Nat. Med. Association
A query from a white reader of this book asks whether this writer could reconsider his physician who was doing research on parative pelvic physiology and could therefore probably answer a question he had not asked. Her notice, reminds the writer of the fact that the National Medical Association has to meet here in August. Although some excellent clinical work has been done at each session, the information, no great amount of attention, has been given to purely research work by the physician.
Saturday, May 5, 1928
"Aricans have much in common with us and wisdom expressed in their proverbs and their line for us to get away from the nation, that they are in an inferior and barbaric state. In more than one sense, we americans are militarized and more barbaric than they.

gest of all bodies of scientific men.
Carver, working with plants, Dr. Ernest Just and the late Dr. C. H. Turner, working in Biology, have attracted more scientific attention than the group of medical men whose field is one in which daily research is possible.
In surgery, perhaps, the medical men have attained their highest efficiency, there having been several pioneer operations of major credited to them. But in the wide field of medical research we have yet to blaze such a trail, as for instance, the Japanese scientists have done.
We let the Germans run to entreat the germ of sleeping sickness in Africa; we let an Eastern come South Africa, a lazy worm" and as far as this writing shows the grim fight against cancer is about our outstanding race recruit.
Unsolved Problems
There are hundreds of unvaccinated medical problems and the Negro physician has as rich a field of clinical material as any group of scientists in the field. Somebeth is going to find the germ which causes the common cold. It might not be of place for the great medical association to begin with, endowing new research project and developing a brilfant young medical man to some of the unsolved problems. In addition more attention may be needed to secure research and the papers and findings in the literature of the profession.
The Social Emphasis On National Meets
One of the criticisms aimed at most national meetings is that they very likely become more annual socials. This is because the National Medical Association, but it is a thing to be guarded against. This is generally due to the enterprise entertainment committee who have set up a group of others as go-getters, and the visiting find themselves in such a share of social activities that they have little time to give or absorb the real purpose of the meeting. The indication should be too serious a body to waste any great amount of its time on social affairs. Upon the work of this gathering of men rest more factors of life and welfare than learning, sorrow and human welfare than any similar group in the race.

QUICKSAND—A novel of contemporaries life by Nella Larsen, published by Alters Knapf, N. Y. Price $25.00.
In some respects this book is an autobiography. The author is a New Yorker. Her real name, Emma Imer. Her mother is Danish and her father was colored, but her step-father was white. The heroine of "Quicksand" is such a person, whose white blood will not let her be satisfied amid the miseries of the southern where she is displaced in Harlem, where jim crow is absent, but where the color question is always present. In Copenhagen, Denmark, where the heroine to live with white relatives, it's the colored blood which causes the riage of aristocratic Danes, who are lacking in color complexes of the Dixie type. Helga Crane, this heroine makes a wife of a southern preacher, whom she hates, but to whom she bears little real life. Her lives has lived in Denmark as well as in the U.S. She has taught at Tuskegee. She did not wet a preacher and have children

The Bread Eater

A southerner who had just arrived in Chicago looked about and eating place and eating place Coleman's Second-story lunchroom was recommended to him by a friend. His first meal was a breakfast. Mr. Coleman said that if the stranger was pleased, he would take his meals with her regularly, did his breakfast up brown. We asked Mr. Coleman to take his meal, Mr. Coleman inquired:
"Well, sir, how did you like it?"
O. it was all right," the stranger said. "You only gave me two slices of bread.
The next morning, Mr. Coleman gave the stranger four slices, which was not enough. He followed this with a second meal, still the stranger ate all, and acted like he was ready for more.
Mr. Coleman, exasperated, decided to eat the middle, and one of those extremely long French leaves. He did so, brought it home, sliced it through the middle, and gave it to his haires on the table with the stranger's breakfast next morning. He waited until the stranger had finished, the proudly and confidently inquired:
"Well, how did you like that?"
"O, it was all right." smiled the stranger, "but I see you went back to them, two siloes of bread."

RUTH BAYTON'S ROMANCE WITH KING REVEALED
Former Philadelphia Girl Denies Love Affair With Spanish Monarch
GOVT. OFFERS $187,000 TO DESTROY THE FILM
Rogers Finds Miss Bayton A Hit At Follies; She Declines To Talk
(Continued from Page One)
negative, and that it was by housebreaking that His Majesty Don Juan himself under the shadow of discretion.
"This adventure German-Negro has become quite Parisian since Miss Ruth Bayton, after having been the first girl to graduate from our good city, the applauded star of the Folies-Wagram.
Pretty
"We do not know if Miss Ruth is the most beautiful colored woman on earth, but name of an idol how pretty she is. Yes, beautiful with all the precious beauty of poor Florence Mills, and with a beauty enough to head of all the knights of the earth.
"Miss Ruth Bayton does not know a word of French. She speaks also little English. (We do not wish to say that she does not know that language, which is her native tongue, but she uses it very little, being alas, not very talkative by nature.) No, she have not any made films, dear Sir.
"But this film?"
"It must have been played by another colored person who made up to resemble me."
"Did you know about this film?" "I only heard about it five days ago through the German papers." "Wow," she said. Miss Bayton smiled, lilt a cigarette and made a dance motion with the upper part of her body.
"But," I said, "you're not going to lose such a fine occasion to have yourself modest. The Negro does not rush for the limelight, and it takes two colored women to make a white one in this respect. But in any case won't you tell us whether, is it true this adventure with the King of this at but this precise moment Paul Colin calls the handhill of the colored vedettes. She left us and went toward him, thus escaping my question.
Miss Bayton says her great ambition is to make a big name for herself and she intends to work hard. She opens a cabaret which she is planning will lead all others in Montmartre.
$10.00 Car
Miss Bayton, who lives at The Ambassadors, one of the latest and fini-
ous Hispano-Suiza, which resembles a young Pullman, must have cost $10,000. She has a French chauffeur who can be or seven rooms she keeps two maids.
Five Figures
Her salary at the Follies-Wagram
I understand, runs into five figures
in frances weekly.
If you could have had
all this in America?" I asked her.
"Absolutely impossible," is her reply.
"I would never have been given
a job in the German people were also very kind,
and so were the folks in Spain."
At The Folies
Visiting the Folles last night, I waited impatiently until near the end of the first half of the program to see Miss Bayton appear on the stage. Bit by bit the theatre presented its first show, and the director and still better until just before the finale of the first half she came out. And what a vision of loveliness! Tall, graceful, aye, voluptuously built, with slim ankles, shapely, well-moulded thighs, willow but well-developed upper, covered with a high proportion of flesh and with a face as beautiful to match, all of a soft brownness.
She Dances
And the effect on the audience was instant. It recognized that it was seeing that which was unusual, and a strange hush fell over the theatre as she danced in the anguorous motion of Bayton dance, more than Miss Baker. Indeed, Miss Baker was a very poor dancer, and we saw her many times. Miss Baker was more of an acrobat but there was a sense of agility about her, a vivacity sparkle, and every ready smile of pearly teeth combined with her shapey body that brought her fame. Miss Bayton is rather of the spirituelle, meditative type, she has that creole or oriental touch, and she powers for the hearts of theugentible sex.

THINGS THEATRICAL
BY OBIE McCOLLUM
That "Drammer"
Again
The Alhambra Stock Company, which is by the way a concern in New York with two companies alternating in and out of the Alhambra Theatre, has a dramatic idea up its theatrical sleeve. After successfully interspersed with motion pictures and musical comedy, the gentlemen, who, we might mention, are white, have decided to go one step further.
The new venture, according to advises from an official, will place ten companies on the road next season. obtainable talent to play a group of theatres throughout the Middle Atlantic and Midwestern states. The routes would include the Alhambra N. York; the Orpheum, Newark N. York; each in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Detroit and possibly a half dozen other houses. In order to prevent its becoming monotonous, the drama will be booked to
per each mouse once in three weeks. The propose is almost certain to tie with approval, provided the company spends plenty of time (and incidentally, money) in preparing the players for their barnstorming tours. There is, however, a dearth of actors who by experience are prepared to present themselves as finished thesplans. The novelty of the experience in getting some experience before the public begins to critically digest its entertainment.
The Howl To Come
Out in Chicago the old Lafayette players are at the Grand Theatre, attempting to bolster up that house by creating a new patronage. They presented "What Price Glory" last month, appearing in The Gorilla. In New York the Alhambra Players and the group headed by Ida Anderson at the Lincoln, are offering works by recognized white playwrights.
With this knowledge in mind coupled with the knowledge that the promoters are whitening only may soon expect a howl about the Caucasian monopoly. Only two weeks ago the editor of one of the militant weeklies in Boston not only score "Lulu Belle" and "Porgy", but urge race writers get into playwrighting. Unfortunately, the theatre, which is just as commercial as the prosaic task of canning tomatoes, the more romantic, can only use what its patrons will buy. Unless the African-American plot-makers now start building the business end in view, the white gentlemen will reap all the cash.
And just to remind you that being behind in the producing line is not a failing peculiar to the race, take a peep at the Yiddish theatre which is deplored by even the most loyal sons of Israel.
Mr. Micheaux
Pioneers
Oscar Micheaux's "Thirty Years Later" made its bow to Ballimore last week. The production (and while the pest put out by the plonemaster is fully realy a fiction) one realizes that colored ploopers suffer from comparison because of limited capital available for making them and the small returns possible to be realized in a class theatrical. Micheaux deserves credit for keeping the audience and paying the way for some followers who will realize more than he. But for the improving of the future releases we might ask three questions: Why was William Edmondson not given the opportunity to be acting as a supposed white man? Why does the heroine not "sport" a few more changes of clothing as almost any New York stenographer in life? Why have so many desans or fainting spells during which all the "heavy" acting occurs?
DANCE HALLS
BY LEVI JOLEY
DANCETORIAL
Timing is important in most every walk of life, in sports, labor, recreation and also dancing. The art of timing is essential for harmony, and it must be cultivated to insure success.
While attending a dance recently, I observed that nearly the entire assemblage waited for the last selection had been completed. The wraps. The final selection resembled the beginning of a football game with every one's rushing to the cloak room. Several others were waiting at the conclusion of this hectic struggle.
It is obvious that the systems used in local cloak rooms are faulty, and that the other sorts are better. One does not consider when he or she makes a stampee on the cloak room, that his or her actions may cause loss, not damage the other sorts of the other fellow and yourself before you make a rush for the cloak room. If you must wait until the last selection has been played, but as a suggestion I would suggest
The cloak room trouble could be obviated by some general system. Help the cloak room attendant remedy these faults, by timing the cloak room attendant and wait until that time, and should you wait until the minute, be orderly and do not chastise the attendants if he or she seems slow; help the attendants if they are the loser. Cubs giving舞, banquets, etc., should choose a person who has the ability to keep a cool head and who

Thelma Grandison Stars In
Vocational School Operetta
To hear the students of the
Vocational School sing the Operetta, "In Arcaedy" under the direction of Miss Lily Mae Mills, Assistant Supervisor of Music, five hundred people braved the storm of last Friday night.
These intrepid souls were well rewarded for their pains, however, for the girls and young people smooth, interesting and nearly flawless performance, while the Union Symphony Orchestra, volunteer members, rendered a pleasing accompaniment.
Thelma Grandison
Miss Thelma Grandison as the daughter of the wealthy James Woodbine, gave a surprisingly adequate performance for an anateur. Her voice was decidedly lovely and she scored heavily in each of her numbers. Master Montague Simmons as the imitative singer as a joy and delight. He possesses marvellous tenor voice and he and Miss Grandison rendered two delightful duets, "Daffydowndilly," and "Just Because." Alice Wettington as Jane Brier, the local telephone operator, displayed a personality and vivacity won by the audience. Miss Wettington won the audience. Miss Wettington won an entirely different type from Miss Grandison, but full of freshness and vibrancy.
Charles Jordan as the earnest young chemist was a real chemist. The Hon. James Woodbine looked the part. Miss Julia Johnson was a real Miss-fix-it as the postmistress. Her friend, the deputies furnished a neat little comedy note with their large tin badges and false whiskers. Howard Martin as Prof. Riggs, in charge of Hiram's model farm and heavily endowed agricultural college, fairly exuded dignity. Of fact, the whole cast was well chosen and the entire performance most satisfying.
Male Chorus Good
Unique features and high lights of the performance were the male chorus of fifty boys. Likewise a female chorus of fifty girls number. The ensemble singing of these two groups was a real treat.
The costumes, all of which were made in the school, were charming and practical. The girls were three frock sports clothes and even dresses. Every dress was well made. The boys presented a gay and lively spectacle in their vari-colored blouses and white trousers. In the last act every boy had on a tuxedo, and some of them were quite tiny. I wondered how the did it.

Glee Club Is Heard In Annual Recital

Baltimore Pianist Renders
Solos
By WILLIAB BLACK
WASHINGTON. — Before an audience that was not daunted by the most severe spring storm here in recent years, the Howard University Glee Club under the direction of Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, rendered its annual recital in Rankin chapel, Friday night.
The club rendered a variety program which included songs of many nations in its scope. It was noticeable that the singers made a marked departure from the spirituals, for which most race singers are not well done with excellence. The audience was pleased to hear the club render pieces of European origin with excellent expression and feeling.
"Just You" Impressive
"Just You" Impressive Burleigh's "Just You", which was led by John Macklin, was the most impressive number on the program, judging by the number of awards it received. "Pala Moon" by Logan was a close second while Burleigh's "A Fatous Tragedy" added a bit of humor to the offering.

DELICATELY FRAGRANT
BOSTON. — In a program which ranged from 18th century music to a number: song in Japanese, Roland Hayes, tenor, closed the concert season Sunday evening before a crowded house at Symphony Hall.
Returned from his European tour only two weeks, Mr. Hayes' appearance was the only one in America he will make an American tour this fall.
Italian and French numbers were omitted by the tenor in his concert, German and Japanese being the only foreign languages included. Mr. Hayes opened his program with the music of Mozart, and the range of his works included Schubert, Baird "Die Forelle" Brahmus "Dein Blaues Auge," in German. Upon his rendition of Quilter's "Over The Mountains," he was forced to respond to an encore. Following came "She Comes Not," by Henschel. From Rachmaninov's compositions he selected the "Georgian Song" and the "Orchestra" by the Orchital composer Matsuwa.
M. Htayes' concert was closed with
their participation. Yerhan Parah
accompanied the artist.
Praises Haves
Writing of the tenor's concert in a review in the Boston Post, Warren Storey Smith summarizes his estimate of the offering in: "Again the opening songs found Mr. Hayes voice a trifle cold, while the tenor's voice is more his most distinguishing and finest characteristic is scarcely awakened
Saturday, May 5, 1928
by the formal music of Mozart. With Schubert and in every greater degree with Brahms Mr. Hayes was, however, soon himself. The older singer will often essay such pieces casually if not indifferently, as something in the day's work.
"Mr. Hayes, on the other hand, approaches them in a spirit almost of reverence; and herein, perhaps the reason for his pre-eminence with them. Certainly it were difficult to imagine a more affecting performance of Brahms' *De Bahn Blaue*, a more deeply lyrical version of Schubert's *Thril Bild*, and few cases sing that composer's *Die Forelle* as happily.
"Black Gold", a race photographed with a locale laid in the oilfield Oklahoma, is scheduled to appear here at the剧院. R. E. Norman, director of Norman Studios, producers of a number of picture records, was here Monday making negotiations with movie house owners.

Actress Made Stage Debut At The Age Of Two Years
New England Soprano First Before Footlights In Act With Youngsters Of Four Races
Unlike girls who have just turned 18, prospective concert artists and young couples trying out matrimony for the first time, Hilda Rogers wasn't a bit nervous when she made her stage debut. In fact, Hilda didn't care a hung about the audience or what it thought about her, although she was mildly interested in such a big crowd.
The truth is, as related by the young soprano here last week while playing the Royal, she first went before the footlights at the tender and sophisticated age of two years. The unusually early age of her entering what is now her profession, however, was not her own choosing.
Born in New Haven, a town in Connecticut, a state which is reputed by wisecrackers to manufacture wooden nutmegs, she took part in a white act in vaudeville for two seasons. She, of course, was not large enough to do any real acting, but was cast as "atmosphere" along with children of three other races.
Star In College Play
FATHER IN HOMEWEEK
Miss Rogers bebevans who have lived in two houses in her hometown for four score years, included one member of the theatrical craft. Her father, Fred (Go Getter) Rogers has for several years been a single on the bigtime valuetteville circuits, being billed as the dancing bricklayer. Educated in the high school photographer, the soprano's previous amateur appearances in operettas and other children's affairs, enamoured her with the stage. Having studied music, she learned to accompany her father's songs in his act. He, however, never encouraged her to go on the stage, but finally allowed her to work with him in the summer.
Married Hometown Boy
After engagements as a singer in New York, Miss Rogers returned to her hometown, where she married Clarence Peterson, actor and chorus director. The two have since worked in vaudeville, and toured one season with Mamie Smith's company throughout the South. Peterson is still with the blues singer's troupe, playing at Trenton, N. J. this week.

DIVORCE PROBLEM IS DISCUSSED BY FRATS
Morgan Omegas And Lincoln Kappas Clash On Companionate Marriage Issue
NO DECISION GIVEN
Companionate Marriage Branded As Quack Remedy
Judge Ben Lindsey's companionate marriage plan was subjected to scorching pros and cons when the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity of Morgan College met the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity of Lincoln University in an intercollegiate debate at Metropolitan Church, Friday night. The debate sponsored by the Alumni chapters of the two fraternities and was the first of its kind held in this city. Morgan College discussed the affirmative of the question, "Resolved, That Companionate Marriage Should Be Legalized." There were no judges as the debate was not competitive. Edward G. Carroll, Joseph W. Bostic and James C. carp, composed the Omega team, while Bear R. Thompson, Shelby A. Books, and James H. Baker represented Lincoln.
Is Legal Union
the affirmative based its argument on the principles that Companionate Marriage is legal, that it advocates legalized and scientific birth control and will permit divorce by legal consent to have children by committing much of the nastiness which now accompanies the average divorce scandal.
"Companionate marriage," declared James Carr, "recognizes the possibility of failure in the marital relation and does not believe that adultery subornably compelling mismatched couples to remain together until death. It also recognizes the fact that marriages are not made in heaven, as was once supposed, but by man who often blunders."
Will Save The Family
Instead of destroying a sanctity of the marriage, we contend this innovation to matrimony will preserve it by making it possible for the parties concerned to avoid having children until they have lived that they are really mated. Then as a result of design instead of by chance, regulated by the individuals instead of by the dictates of Nature.
Quack Cure
The negative branded companionate marriage as a quack cure for the present social evil that would carry with it great power, would provide a birth control knowledge would make it possible for young unmarried persons to obtain this information, they declared, which would lead to freer sexual indulgence. The cure for divorce does not come in the form of a separate after marriage, but in educating youth to the seriousness of the step before marriage. The cause for the increased divorces of today is that woman is no longer dependent on her own once was, and can earn her own living, it was declared.

Echoes Of Yesteryear Heard At Miss Blay's Reception

Miss Lille Mae Epps, a winner of the first prize of the Argentine Contest at the Knights of St. John's Hall, 1409 Fremont. —Williams Studio
The sentiment inculcated in the quotation "should ole acquaintance be forgot and neer be brought to mind" seemed the motivating power that brought together a delightful assemblage at the brilliant affair given by Miss Irene Blays, at the New Elks' Hall, Friday night. The event was more than a mere social function; it was a big, family-like event, a preceding generation of Baltimore's "first families". It was reminiscent of yesterday, when the Monday and Tuesday Assemblies were the outstanding features of the so-called and when Eubie Blake, with his inimitable orchestra, was in great demand.
For this occasion, however, Irwin Hughes and his "Southerners" produced the strains which set the feet of two generations gliding over the floor in tune to the graceful waltz numbers which are once. The watcher L. Eibworth Toomey, Solomon DeCoursey, Robert Coleman and other masters of the terpsichorean art on the floor that night, was to turn back the pages of Father Time's big book and see Baltimore in its earlier days. Then, there were others who were prominent figures in days gone by; Miss Bell Price, Mrs. Fanny Bishop, Mrs. Charles B. Blay, parents of the hostess, in whose honor the affair was arranged.
The reception room was charmingly decorated. There were one hundred and fifty guests at the tables, set with cut flowers and silver candelabras, individual fruit-shaped, fancy cake, mints, and punch. Every item bespoke a theme for this Miss Blay is noted. The same taste was reflected in her dress, which was of sheer geogette, colored a rich pink, made in a draped effect and beautifully designed in rhinestones. Her mother was attired in gray satin, trimmed with old lace. Miss Blay is a representative of the fourth generation of one of the families she loved. In 1810 the great-grandparents, James and Rebecca Jakes, bought the first piece of property on Park avenue. It was just below 852 Park avenue, where Miss Blay was born and is now residing with her parents.
She is rather quiet and reserved in manner, but has a personality which

Rabbi Rosenau Endorses Dr. Rhetta For School Board
Dr. William Rosenau, pastor of Oneb Shalom Temple, Eutaw Place and Lanavale street, wrote Mayon Breench, Monday, endorsing Dr. Breench's book on which there are three vacancies.
Dr. Rosenau, who served several terms on the school board himself, declares the appointment is a matter of justice.
date Dr. Rhetta's endorsements include nominations both Catholic and Protestant as well as a number of civic associations and individuals of both races.
Dr. Rosenau's letter sent to the City Hall by messenger, reads: "Dear Mr. Mayor: 'I am interested, as you must know, in a representative form of government, both in national and municipal affairs. I never wish to enter into any disputes calculated to create unexected party spirit.

ing a representative on the School Board is now under consideration. I trust that such representation will be granted by you in the naming of men to vacancies. Apart from circumstances, the population is approximately 125,000 strong in Baltimore, and should on this account be represented on the School Board. I believe that one of their number — naturally to be accredited with native psychological insight — the educational ambition and needs of face ought to have a place on the Board of Education of Baltimore.
"I have noted that Dr. B. M. Rhetta, whom I have known for many years and whose standing in this field is very respectable beyond question, is being invited to membership on the School Board. He has not asked me to intercede in his behalf. I mention him on my own initiative. However, mine is the hope that when you determine to accept the Negro population of Baltimore, Dr Rhetta will, because of his superior standing, be the one named.

A woman hung on her husband's neck and asked the advice of an insurance agent, who was trying to persuade him to take out a sick and accident policy. The husband turned the ear ear of the agent and fumed out of the house and was struck by a machine that had been sitting in bed six weeks without an income. Have you stepped to think of the hardship and embarrassment he and his wife suffered?

RACE ATHLETES FALL SHY IN PENN RELAYS
Edwards And Major Only
Athletes To Make Good
Showing
WIBECAN IS BEATEN
Meet Shows That Only Few
Have Olympic Chance
PHILADELPHIA. — Race ath-
letes had a lean harvest at the
Penn Relays, this year.
The performance of Phil Edwards,
of New York University, Charlie
Major, of St. Bonaventure, and Ken
Wibecan, of the University of Pitts-
burgh, were the most outstanding
performances among the entries of
race participants.
Edwards Outstanding
Edwards was a dominant figure in the meet, his performances Friday, on the wet, soggy track. in a pouring rain, bringing a dual triumph to the New York team. He also took on the new Atlantic States relay championship, Edwards fushed phenomenal form to win by yards from Rutgers, winning forty-five minutes after carrying the baton across the line in this race. Edwards came back to run the anchor half in the sprint medley relay, and that he showed the stuff of which he is made. Sprayed by a chilling drizzle, and running in the face of the batter, Edwards trapped the baton in the fifth place, and with some of the best collegiate half-milers well ahead of him, exhibited a burst of speed that soon performance making the other runners appear to be almost at a standstill. Edwards burst down the finish and breasted the tape full 18 yards ahead of the Chicago, his closest competition.
Despite the boggy condition of the field Charlie Major, St. Bonaventure high jumper, managed to lift him after a fall in the field with St. Xavier, Monmouth College, and Dartmouth for first place in this event. Ken Wheean, University of Michigan, missed out in the first heat of the century event by Simpson, of Ohio State, who negotiated the distance in 10-1-1. **Hampton Falters** The Hampton Institute team, winner of the Normal School relay team, was unable to place in the finals, the event going to Michigan Norrall.
GIANTS WIN CLOSE ONE
CHICAGO. — The American Giants nosed out the Aurora Star. 9-8, in a thriller at the Giants' Park. Sunday. Horney, Milzler and Powell were on the mound for the locals and were touched for 14 hits. Powell stuck, on eight men, while Guss, catcher, had a big day with the stick.
Talking It Over
BY BILL GIBSON
Gardner and Granville--More Wilberforce.
Gardner And Granville
From away out in Spokane, Washington, the voice of William Pickens, former dean of Morgan College, but now Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., speaks to me, to tell me about the splendid performances of Eddie Gardner and Phillip Granville in coast-marathon. Says friend Pickens:
"It takes MONEY to stay tiff. Those who have the best equipment, and who feel EASIEST about getting them, and who are relieved of the psychological strain and drain of worry about such material things — those are the boys who will run best, in the "It would help the boys, physically and psychologically, to know that the colored people of America have their eyes on them and are doing what they want." I have not noticed that the colored people have taken any steps to help these colored boys. I am far away West here and it may have been a difficult thing. If there is no effort already on foot, I suggest that the AFRO-AMERICAN open a subscription list. If you do, me down immediately. My NRS. at least, to be divided equally between these two Negro runners." If any one needs support, not meddling. I believe that he is in the best position of it and contributions from readers who desire to help him or Gardner will be forwarded them from the AFRO-AMERICAN. and due credit to the donor and the amount given.
More Wilberforce
Again the name of Wilberforce is in the air and none other than the man there is none other, proceeds to tell an eager and listening world the "insides" of the disrupted athletic situation at Buckeye High. Mr. Harding bucks his brow on the several heads of President Jones, Coach Graves, and Charlie Points, chairman of the Wilberforce Athletic Association of the Ohio brethren. Tracing the rupture from the time of the Howard-Wilberforce football game to theward-Wilberforce basketball game in Chicago, Harding bowls his shortstop for the Detroit Stars, and no longer a student at the school, believes that the whole trouble in a nutshell is due to the known of Mr. Harding's activities while at the Methodist college, we can appreciate his analysis with relish. That Mr. Harding is in charge of the team, he cannot be questioned. What greater co-operation could a man give than to retreat a battle in which himself, was one of the instigators.

A. record holders, James Carl of Alloughey and Paula Pollock of Wilmington, Del., on the relay team has given added hope for the repetition of last year's performances.

Then there is the 440 Cup winner, a member of the first relay team that Hampton produced, the cup going to the school, with the name of the winner on the cup.

Death Of "Billy" Matthews Removed Versatile Athlete
Organized First Tuskegee Football Team—Captained Grid And Diamond Teams At Andover And Starred At Harvard—Named By Camp As All-American Shortstop For Three Consecutive Years
By ALVIN J. MOSES
(For Associated Negro Press)
The grim reaper-Death-has torn
from our side and the side of his
body. In adversest William
Clarence Matthews.
Old Harvard University grads can never forget the doings on diamond colorful and picturequeen athletes of color to ever aspire for lasting fame. Bill Matthews' career started at the tender age of sixteen in the State American youths are still endeavoring to rid their childish minds of such stories as "Grimmis" and "King Arthur." Matthews was elected captain of the Alabama State Baseball nine;—this was back in 1892. Bill Matthews Nine. From Alabama State College, he went to Tuskegee and captained the baseball team there from 1886-7. Under his leadership, Tuskegee guarded and was unanimously elected captain of the first football team in the history of that noted institute of learning. Under his leadership, Tuskegee gridron constituting what was probably the first Inter-State football game between colored colleges of the State University by a score of 10-0, the brilliant playing of "Matty" going for naught with the green and untried supporting cast he was forced to la
In the fall of 1897, this colorful luminary of the "Athletic and Literary" school at Andover, Mass. he cultivated with the brilliance of a "Kohinoor" at Andover, serving for four years in the baseball and basketball team most unseen of achievement for a colored student up to that time. Just to show his all around ability, Matthews team for two years at Phillips track team for two years at Harvard. Entered Harvard 1901.
In the fall of 1901, he went to Harvard varsity team in every game until after the West Point tracas, when he received an injury resulting in water on his shoulder. He was first substitute end in the Yale game in which only 11 men played throughout for Harvard. The next game was at Harvard varsity team 22; Yale. He also played for four years on the varsity baseball team at Harvard, earning the distinction of being her greatest achievement, the final game of the Harvard schedule played at the historic Polo
M. H. H.
Grounds of New York City, Matthews scored the winning run in the ninth game of the season by stealing home with a tremendous burst of speed that would have been expected in a Hans Lobert, or a TY Cobbs.
Selected on "All American"
Walter Camp, perhaps the greatest authority that ever breathed on college football data, selected "Billy as the greatest offensive player" and consecutive years, as did Gasp Whitney in his nationally known publication, "Outing."
He left on end on the Harvard football team against Yale University and was mentioned along with Glaze of Dartmouth and Shevele Yale as All-American possibilities.
Played Ball in Northern League
Followed his graduation from Harvard,
and played in the Northern League
season of 1805 for Burlington Vermont,
of the Northern League composed of white ball players. He saw service with such big-league stars as Jimmy McGee, Eddie Grant, once N. Y. Giants 2nd baseman); Jimmy Winty, Rube Vickers, Ed Reulbach who undying fame with Frank Chance's Children's Hospital; he also played with Biddickford of the Main State League, with Larry Gardner, Jimmy Collins, Rocky Wilson, and "Chub" Nourse. For four years he played with the member of the Exesse League circuit, alongside of "Sliffy" McNinnes, former playing-manager of the Philly Nationals, and one of the greatest fielding tacklers since Hal Chase's pristine golfing career. He also played in the Milford League, and with the Stoughton Club of the Bay State League. He was discriminated against because of his color, but he mentioned Leagues, rather he was looked upon as the greatest balleyplayer they had ever seen in action. He was instructor at two of the most exclusive instructors in Boston, Greenough, and Noble.
Long grows the grass and green and sweet it is, over the vault that houses all that is left of William Matthews, just plain "Billy" to the writer.

Alabama State, who ran second to Morehouse in the Half Mile relay championship last year, is coming with great relief. He has been quite quietly working, has his men in great shape. Atlanta University is doped to take the shot put with Pierce, colored Intercollegiate champion hurling the pill for the first time. He broad jump last year by missing his take off. This chap is good for 22 feet, and this year he has his take off. Clark University will have strong teams in the quarter mile, half mile, two mile and the sprint medley relay. The Sprint Medley relay team composed of Carver, Chambers, Wadley and Moore has been turning in good time. University is concentrating on the sprint relays of the quarter and half mile, and Coach Gunn has groomed Jones, Moon and Wiggins to make up the quarter mile team. He also entered teams in the half mile one mile and sprint medley.

Sixty-One Round Fight Of Jackson-Corbett Recalled
Peter And J. J. Corbett Fought Memorable Battle 37 Years Ago In California—Beat Original Godfrey—Corbett Calls Him "Greatest"
Mythically speaking, Morgan College landed five men instead of three on the mythical basketball five chosen for the country for the AFRO, last week. Although Ike Young, of Lincoln University, and "Slim" Henderson, of Omaha, played together to complete the Jones, Clark, Hawkins combination, both of these players at one time in their court career were affiliated with the Morgan cagers. In 1920, Henderson, an unanimity youth in knee breeches, which owe much to the school times during the school year as he matriculated in Morgan Academy.
His Sandy head won for him the title of "Reds" and his boyishness made him a great favorite among the players. Basketball at Morgan in those days was in the pioneer stage. The gymnasium was in the barn where, in order to obtain light enough to see, necessary to open the wide doors that allowed players to basketball being a winter sport it can easily be imagined how fast the opposing teams had to move on a cold binsty day to keep from freezing in their tracks with the wind coming from four different directions.
Passing Game
The cross beams and rafters that were suspended inconveniently low, imusual dexterity in shooting, basket skills, and muscular development of a fast passing game, which has marked the work of Morgan players for many spectators at these contests, in order to keep warm, buried themselves in the straw bins and permitted that heads to protrude. He displayed unusual ability, both as a basketball player and a track man. He hailed from Washington, D. C. He *Young*. Young, who known as a large family of athletes, including t. late Lincoln coach. U. S. Young, and another brother who made basketball with the famous Lonald Club of Pittsburgh, came to Morgan in 1923. During this year with his running back, N. J. Morgans, both of Orange, N. J. Morgans, and Ward national prominence in this field, which has grown steadily. Young made a brilliant record on the high jump intercollegiate record at the Hampton meet that year.
Through the influence of Hill and Young, Jones and Clarke, also of New Jersey, were induced to cast doubt on the manner, Morgan's formidable organization was built up. At the completion of his academic work, Young went to Lincoln, which left a gap in his knowledge, filled by the addition of "Rap" Wheatley and "Cutie" Brown. Hill to whom goes the credit for bringing Morgan will be lost by graduation. Morgan will have forced to lay off to a great extent on the court this year due to a broken shoulder received in foot injury, he would have been easily one of the year's six best court men.

time the purse was $3,000 and the fight came off on December 27. McAuliffe weighed 212 pounds, but Jackson, whose weight hovered between 192 and 200 pounds, scaled an even 200 for the contest. It was a slashing battle, but Jackson got the upper hand finally and knocked out Joe in the twenty-fourth round.
Jackson's Greatest Fight
"And then came Jackson's greatest fight, the one with James J. Corbett. This took place in the California A. C. on May 21, 1891, with Hiram Cook, the regular club referee, in there as third man. As everyone knows, this fight lasted sixty-one rounds, when the referee stopped the fight and declared it "no contest—all bets off."
"This came as a terrible blow to Corbett and his friends, for they had bet heavily that Jim would last anywhere from ten to twenty-five rounds. Jackson was a favorite at 5 to 1 to whip the young boxing instructor of the Olympic A. C. Peter had a big advantage in the weight over Corbett, bigger than the announced ringside weights, which were: Jackson, 198 pounds; Corbett, 182. Corbett might have scaled the noundage, but if he did, it must have been in full ring regalia, for he certainly looked much lighter."
"The fight itself was a classic Jackson was the heavier hitter, but young Corbett was a stroke of grease, and the man showed not only bracing his right order but they showed ring generalship and quick, cagey thinking such as never before had been shown in a prize ring. Jackson Greatest. "In his memoirs Corbett, speaking of Peter Jackson, says: "The night I fought Jackson I thought him a great fighter. Six months later, still tired from that fight, I thought him a great fightier. I still maintain he was the greatest fighter I have ever seen."

After years of waiting, the patrons of fistians (the ofay ones, at least) have had revealed to them, at last, through the chain of courts, that Court, the reason why Jack Dempsey never fought Harry Wills. So startling was Dempsey's expose in pointing out that other in the pulpitistic machinery, at that time, was none other than Rickard, that it made the front pages of the metropolitan press. Rickard is said to have telegraphed Dempsey that the matriarch, in boxing, whatever that meant. There are indications that at the time of his signing Rickard was not so much concerned as to whether Wills killed BOXING, as to whether he would kill Rickard's BOXING; he also have a feeling that Dempsey, himself, was not any longer to make of himself a target for the Brown's blows. The question of what Wills might have done to Dempsey, had they met in bygone years, is of course, hypothetical and the question of whether Rickard would have done, the Basque, are not so certain what the brown fellow would have done. Respectless of what the outcome of that fight might have been, feel grateful to the New York Federal Court for confirming for us a cherished belief.

PASSION
By Louise
FINAL CHAPTER
He was going to kill her, of this
Luana was positive. She made no
more to defend herself. Not that
she especially desired to be killed,
but she fell the futility of living.
For the second time in her life, she
thought concerning Liebertini, "Let
her kill me."
Her mind, though, took a vacation from the surroundings that bound her. It shipped merrily off to haplier days. She saw, plainly, Dick's face, it was. She saw, plainly, the eyes into his eyes. She saw Van Moore's face. It was Christmas morning, she felt his kiss on her lips as they swayed together under Florine's mistletoe. She saw Van again, this time in the Harlem cabaret. She saw the forms of the dancing girls shimmered beneath her eyes, the pulsine of the music and the darkness Masson kissed her, and—
Something touched her, it was Lieb. Her complacency vanished. She remembered something. She wanted to see Van again. Wanted to see his face before she died. She would not let lieb die. She would sit at him, hard with shaved fists, flung on him, pitted her strength against his, felt with joy that she could defend herself. Their bodies thrashed about the room, hurried over chairs, crashed down the tables. His flying wrists at her like white sticks. She gasped on her knees. She got the other, held tightly together while she armed, arm's length, for the belt that had fallen from her waist during the struggle.
Someone rocked on the door. The concerte. She called to him. "Come hold him while I tie him." The concerte saw Lieb's white still face and the murderous eyes. He was a prudent man. He sat upon Lieb. "no," said Luana, "You are too heavy. You might hurt him, just turn him over and let me tie him."
She trussed him up. "I'm going co to get a doctor", she said. "He's nav Li er been like this before. I believe le Physi Recom

Masson's eyes missed nothing. The golden skin was still golden, the sleek buch glistened like Japanese silk, the eyes were, well, were Luana's eyes. Masson almost licked his lips. He got closer and closer until it was impossible to get any closer. He was prayed for her conscience to wake up in time. Constance, remember, Constance, she told herself.
She gave him a weak push, whispered. "Stop." then "Don't."
he wanted to hurt me."
The concierge promised to stay with Lieb until she returned.
She wasn't long getting back.
"He has fallen asleep," said the concierge, thankfully.
"Exhausted," said Luana. "He has exerted too much."
The doctor arrived. He opened Luana's door. Touched at his chest and there and there. Scanneo. He was sulky was the doctor. Hassan out just as he was going out for the evening by this wretched woman, who most probably would not have the money to pay him his fee. He was so scowled. Snapped his stethescope to touch and stuffed it in its case. Looked at Luana with undisciplined disgust.
"Why come for me?" he fussed. "I am not the coroner. He is dead."
"Dead," said Luana. "Dead?"
"Keen," read continued the doctor and book off without even asking for his fee. It was useless, he thought.
The concierge looked at Luana's face, queerly. One must look strange when suddenly a topsy-turvy world turns back right again. A life prisoner must look strange when he is indeed Luana did indeed look strange. Lieb was dead, and she was thru with him. Through him,
The concierge was a sympathetic man. He said, "Don't cry, madame." Luana had sailed for Paris to the tune of clicking typewriters, to the eager questioning of reporters, had gone to her suite of roses and luxury. She crept back silently, unnoticed, with the roar of throbbing engines, so near to her quarters, throbbing in her ears. She sat in a cemetery outside of Paris, the Paris who had charged for its pleasures a high price. Dick Lee had paid for his resting place.
And from Dick came the money for her passage home. She should have had pride enough, she thought, but to be honest, she couldn't stand the strain. With Lieb's death every tie had snapped, leaving her free, and at a loose end.
She had to get back quickly. So she had written Dick, and here she was drifting up into New York harbor.
"The band was playing, "Yes sir, That's my baby, photographers who had met the boat, and they were snapping a moving picture actress, crowds were swarming the rails to catch the first glimpse of welcoming friends, but Luana hung back, kept apart from the crowd.
"What a joy, joy, and noise and shouting mean to her. All she wanted was Dick, and rest.
The blur of faces on the docks cleared slowly as the船 drifted up to anchor. Faces — faces — Luana's eyes shift over them. Ah, there was Dick over all the brains after the men of the Paris slums, so clean and stalwart. Her eyes fastened on him and clung.
She carried but one bag, so her delay with the dack officials was brief. She stood before him.
"He doesn't see me," she thought, for he still searched the boat deck for sight of her.
Right then his eyes fell upon her, and moved away, without a flicker of recognition.
Lunaa gave a little cry.
"Dick, don't you know me? It's Luana."
He gazed for a moment unbelievingly, uncomprehendingly, then gathered her in his arms and held her close. When close, let her go she was surprised to see that his eyes were wet. People looked with some amusement at the incongruous lovers, the sun-burned, steady-eyed boy, and the old, old girl with the too-prominent eyes.
She was hanging to his arm as though she needed its support to keep her from falling. She whispered in his ears.
"I've finished paying. Dick. I know I have now. O. it took so much for him. Dick. Lieb was expensive for me."
Dick nodded comprehendingly.
Again she pulled him down to her and murmured as though, this had been too hard to say before.
"Dick. I had a baby. And it died."
Love and sympathy work miracles so they say, and no doubt they know. But the forces that worked miracles with Luana were the two before mentioned, love and sympathy. It is a disparaging statement to make, perhaps, about women in general, but you really have to kill a woman if you want to grieve her so that she won't respond to the lure of pretty clothes. Every new dress rubbed a line from Luana, but the part of her dinned the horrors of Paris, until finally, they faded from her mind like a forgotten dream. There's no cure for the blues like a snappy, new boob, a tangle of Ise de Amour perfume, golden chiffon stockings and a dress cut short enough to show all of her body. It was drastic treatment, but it cured Luana.
Shingled, manicured, perfumed, high-healed and low cut, geometrical creeped and Spanish shawled, she felt her moral confidence soaring until it rang the bell. She felt even able to be Masson and Constance. But she presented himself minus the Constance.
Luana was as potsed as a peacock and she gave him a thrilling laugh for the spasm of emotion that crossed his face when he saw her. "You don't think you should whistle the "Return of the Wanderer" or something like that?" she asked him. "Child, don't be flippant with me," cautioned Dr. Masson. "Come, sit here and see where we can talk to you. She chose the divan principally because its Chinese blue brocade made it mighty back curtain for her and we sat on it too, and the pearl earrings, which If they weren't real pearls they looked just as good. Furthermore, there was room for him to sit beside her. Which he did. She might have sat on a chair, because it was unnecessary that a double divan was unnecessary.
Don't Make a Toy Out of Baby
B: RUTH BRITTAIN
Much of the nervousness in older children can be traced to the overstimulation during infancy, caused by regarding baby as a sort of animated toy for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby may be played with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomiting, and invariably causes irritability, crying or sleeplessness. Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you can't see what is making baby restless you can better give him a few drops of pure, harmless acorridor to amazing to see how quickly babies' nerves and soothe them to sleep; yet it contains no drugs or oplates. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper. Leading physicians prescribe it for colic, cholera, diarrhea, constipation, gas on stomach and bowels, feverishness, loss of sleep and all other "upsets" of babyhood. Over 25 million bottles used a year shows its overwhelming popularity.
With each bottle of Castoria, you get a book on Motherhood, worth its weight in gold. Look for Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the package so you'll get genuine Castoria. There are many imitations.
Sent courtship, a brief but hectic wooing. No matter how flippant you talk, or how scared you look it's all going to end the same way and in place — in California — with me. "California, California, with you," she gasped. "O. Van! Is that nice? "In say it's nice," laughed Masson, and swept her up in his arms. She shouted. "Constance," she moaned. "Your wife, what of her? O. Van, it's not like you to suggest such a thing."
"Hang Constance," said Masson and laughed with singular lack of delicacy. Then he saw the horrified loot on Luana's face and he turned solemn. "Well, what of Constance?" he asked. "Luana, when have you ever thought of Constance?" "Not before," admitted Luana. "But now things are different. I've been so miserable that in being unhappy to a single soul. I feel so sad, sin, and uginess and death that I'll never be thoughtless again. Van. I can't go with you. I won't. Don't ask me again though. I might weaken." Let me live now without sin or disgrace. "Paris must be a wonderful place," said Luana. "Why is it given our Luana a heart and a bounded heart. He put his arms around Luana and said his check to her shiny head. Luana." he explained. "Didn't you know that Constance didn't like us. She didn't like my style at all, nor many things that the Lewis mansion boosted." After a while she said she didn't even like me any more—"Impossible," said Luana.
"True," said Masson. "So she went on home to mamma. And I let her stav there."
"But, Van. go get her. She meant for you to come for her. She loves you. How could she help it? Van. you could browl at her, or you should have browl at her back!" "Perhaps, I would have," said Van Masson. "But, Luana. I loved you. I discovered so many things —, how much I missed you, how I wanted you more than anything else in life. I came to understand so many things, dear. I talked with Dick. Van. I talked with Luana, a misunderstood little kid who got all the bad breaks. I love you —" "Just to make it more emphatic, he said it ain't, this time louder. "I love you."
"Hush." Luana. "I won't come between you. I love you, too, always have but I wait. Go to Constance, get her." "Don't want her," said Van Masson stoutly although his voice was muffled, since his lins were pressed against Luana's cheek.
"I don't want her. Wouldn't have

In Darker Baltimore
BY RALPH MATTHEWS
A nice way to get your name in the paper nowadays is to give a cup for the winner of the Health Week race. This is also probably the oldest contest you will think you are the cat's pajamas when it comes to being public spirited because giving a cup doesn't cost you one penny — not in Baltimore.
According to practice, you offer the cup, but you really don't give it. It is the best way to win, and can either do as the Health Week Committee does and make the winner duplicate his victory three consecutive years, which even if he should, you will only have to buy one cup in a long time, or else you will be Massey College. Give your cup, if the winner breaks the record.
There is no limit to the "if's" you can think up to keep from giving your cup away. Next year the writer of this column will offer a handout with the following stimulations: The winner must run the entire course backwards, blindfolded, turn cartwheels for the last quarter of a mile and stand on his head for three minutes before the next runner gets in. Of course, nobody could win any of these modifications, regardless of how beautiful the engravings are, but then Baltimore Health Week prizes are not to be won; they are just put up as bait. John Carroll has won the marathon three times in succession and came this year, but did he get the Baltimore Health Week Commitee's quiz? Has a frog a fur-lined coat?
Don't be at all surprised should the Baltimore marriage license bureau do a record-breaking business in the near future. The sweet aroma of iliacs watted on the evening breeze under the light of the moon may make a very foolish question to him in a bunch of trouble, but Baltimore girls aren't taking any chances on Nature's turning the trick.
The old adage, "The way to man's hurt is through his stomach," is just another way that ma'am was a flapper, and the local husband chasers are resorting to time worn methods. That is why the cooking demonstration given by the Y. W. C. A. at the Royal Theatre was such a success: those who attended were single girls who believed me, they had a nasty glint in their eyes as they watched the correct and proper way to make the biscuit. Many a girl knows that a man can be won on flowers in June, but it takes flour to hold him. Many a honeymoon who watches an abrupt close when the man in the cake tastes the bride's first biscuits.
Communion Wine vs. Embalming Fluid
Very few people in Baltimore know they wear Plummer in Jacobs, cause he's sort of tortured, retiring and modest fellow. And even if they did know him, they wouldn't know that he was: a minister. He's just a young ginger with a boyish expression that leads one to expect different from the serious way he talks.
After graduating from Talladega College, studying theology and taking post-graduate work in religious education at Yale and serving as an assistant pastor for several years, he joined the ministry and will become an undertaker. Quite a step that, from saving souls to burying bodies, but he took it. He doesn't say why he deserted the communion wine for the emblaming fluid, but he'll make the case. He'll make the quiet and philosophical for the average Baptist congregation, too modest and retiring to play the petty politics of the Methodist denomination without which he would be side-tracked into mediocrity and being a man of color, why bother about the other? He'll be a bishop in the Saints of God and Church of Christ, but that would necessitate learning how to beat a tambourine. Kindred professions, the ministry and the burying business. Although he is not preaching righteousness if

"Van! Van! You are free?"
"It won't be long now." promised the rising physician. Now "I you'll just turn you face around."
"She did. It was illuminated by the light of fulfillment that comes after denial, by victory that comes after strife.
"You're free," she whispered. "And so am I. Free at last from sin—"
"His mouth crushed against hers silenced her.
Was there ever a kiss so long and so sweet?

Canned Foods
BY ANN PAGE
Director, A & P Bureau of Home Economics
One of the most popular jokes about the modern housewife has to do with her fondness for the can opener and this, however, and will go right on saving money and time and adding savor to the meal by use of canned products in their proper places.
The experienced housewife has learned to distinguish various brands and grade cookware and this, however, is quite likely to designate what particular kind she wants rather than to say "A can of Peas" for instance. If she is going to use them for soup she will order an "ungraded can of good brand" which she is quite likely to "company" vegetable she will order the "French" tiny pea.
I am giving you a recipe today for a quickly made pineapple pudding, which is as good as it is. It is tame, tame.
Pineapple and Marshmallow Whip
I can crushed Pineapple.
I can crushed orange peel.
Drain the juice from pineapple. Cut the marshmallows in quarters and soak the juice in pineapple juice in the ice-box. Put in bowl and cover the top with whipped cream. Garnish with candied orange peel. Add the newer canned products which is well to keep on the emergency shelf. I am going to give you a new recipe which has been given me many years ago. Apple juice cake or pudding made with two canned products among others. Because condensed milk is used in this no extra sugar will be needed.
Apple Sauce Zwelchack Cake
2 cups apple sauce.
3 egg yolks.
3 cups water.
Hind and juice of one lemon.
1 can condensed milk.
12 Zwelchack.
2 eggs, yolks, add apple sauce, lemon and milk. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Grate or roll zwelchack, sprinkle with milk. In a bowl mix, sprinkle remainder of zwelchack on top. Bake in moderate oven until firm, about forty-five minutes.
There is more canned milk, either in the form of evaporated or condensed, put up than any other product. These milk products because of emergency shelf with other canned products.

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE
PRETTY FEET
Summer is coming and sea-shore days draw near. A pretty woman is much handicapped if her feet are not presentable when she strolls on the beach in her bathing costume. Look yours over and observe if the toes have a tendency to climb over each other — double up as it were. By chance, it was discovered that a simple device would correct this trouble in a very short time. It is this.
A piece of adhesive tape attached to the toes pressing each toe down to the tape in place turns the trick. This tape should be changed each day. Soon the toes will lie down straight in line as they did in childhood and your feet regain their beauty.

"I was troubled with pains in my sides, abdomen and back and my husband recalled that I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound eight years ago for health and confinement, so he said I had better try it again. I was very glad that he reminded me and had no hesitation in getting three bottles. Before I had taken the third I was able to get around again and do my housework. I am just through taking three more bottles of the Vegetable Compound for general weaknesses, as I was very sick lately after a confinement. I also used Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and found it to be wonderful. If this letter will help you any I give you full permission to publish the same."

Why, T took him in when he was out

“But, what caused the trouble?”

over the place in my nightgown.”
“Your Honor.” said Black, "I own
‘as much of that car as she does and

“That max be true." declared Mrs,

“Your honesty is commendable, but

Spring Time is Tonic Time
Increased duties, exposure to all kinds of weather, lack of proper exercise and suitable diet during the Winter months, frequently leave women run-down, weak and deficient at the approach of Spring. That is why generations of women have realized the importance of making Spring time tonic time!
And not only in Spring, but whenever women have felt the need of a good tonic to invigorate and stimulate them, St.Joseph's G.F.P. has been their preference for more than 50 years.
This rich, vegetable tonic contains Nature's own medicines in the form of roots and herbs which have been used for over a century to invigorate and strengthen women. Your druggist sells the big $1.00 bottles on a money-back guarantee.

IN MEMORIAM
BOWSER — In loving remembrance
later, Ellen J. Gone
but not forgotten.
I stood by your side, dear mother,
I saw your life depart;
And when I knew that you were dead
It almost broke my heart.
Although you could not speak to me
Or could not say good-bye;
I knew your thoughts were with us
When you were called to die.
Oh God, what a weight of sorrow
Must the lonely one be,
A lonely chair,
And only the vanish chair.
Often from our hearts come the hit.
Often from our hearts come the bitter
Oh, why did our dear mother die?
Then comes the answer so sollen
and deep;
Mother is not dead — she is only
asleep.
Asleep — Jesus—Blessed sleep.

one year ago, May 6, 1927.
Oh, how hard we tried to save him,
Prayers and tears were all in vain;
Happy angels came and took him,
the world of sin and pain.
What would we give to clap his
hand.
His happy face to see;
To hear his voice and see his smile
That means so much as we

As a tender benediction
On the hearts his loss bereft.

Which never can be filled.

The soul is safe in heaven.

(Continued From Page 1)
Didn't Want To Jump
After Brown and Hill had been landed on the shore, the boat returned for Braxton and Johnson. Braxton accurately that Johnson was persuaded to take the leap, his nerve being shattered by the fate of the others. He refused to do so but crawled down the side landing on Captain Yates and approached Shortly after the rescue, a woman walking along the beach, sighted the body of Captain Moore and it was removed to an undertaking establishment.
Cost $75,000
Two weeks ago, Captain George Brown wired the APRO-AMERICAN from New York, of the purchase of a boat which was to replace the steamer "Favorite" now in use between Ballimore and Brown's Grove.
The boat is 200 feet long with a gross formage of 84 inches. A accommodate 2,500 passengers. A two cylinder fore and aft incline engine of 1200 horsepower would have made the boat one of the fastest on the Chessie boat. It had a speed of 2 to 20 miles an hour.
Captain Brown was not aboard the boat, having been persuaded by his wife not to attempt the trivial task of sinking the Baltimore and sent his crew of the steamer "Favorite" to bring the boat to the city. "Not To Give Up"
Although the loss of the South Shore will necessitate the cancellation of all excursions to Brown's Grove this year, he will not give up, but will start planning a season, Captain Brown declared in an interview. Tuesday.
Capt. Brown visited the scene of the wreck Sunday and declares that the boat is beyond repair and filled with sand by the beating waves. The boat weathered the storm well, he declared and had those who were lost rescued on board the boat, not the ship could not have been drowned. All the spokes in the steering wheel were broken in the effort to guide the boat during the storm.
The entire loss will be borne by himself, Captain Brown declared. The boat was only partly covered by insurance. The tug boat employed to tow the boat to the city is owned and maintained in New York City, he stated, but there is little chance of collecting damages from the concern without a stiff court fight which would entail great expense. The captain of the tug was an expelled man, Captain Brown declared, and he is surprised that he attempted the trin at that time when the barometer showed an impending storm. The gale which wrecked the boat is said to be one of the worst experienced along the coast in five years.
Captain Brown stated that he had intended to send an additional $45,000 on the boat after it arrived in Baltimore. He will make no effort to put the old "Favorite" in shape for this season, he stated, but will look for an entirely new boat.
Disreared Siemens.
When he found out that the voyage was under way, the captain said he signalled the tue from several points along the shore, telling it to put back because of the storm warnings. These signals were not seen or disrewarded.
