THE FAMILY OF THE MAYOR
CHICAGO—Washington Society is much disturbed over the contemplated coming of Oscar DePriest, nominee scheduled to succeed B. Madsen as Congressman from Illinois. He is shown with his wife, his son, O. S. DePriest and his daughter-in-law.
Chicago Prefers Another For Congress, Must Take DePriest
Coolidge Will Continue Cohen In Customs Post
CHIGAGO, (Special)—Chicago prefers someone else for its first colored member of the U. S. House of Representatives, but it will accept former Adrian and ward boss, Oscar DePriest. DePriest, who has amassed a fortune in city bosses all over the United States, is not acceptable to some Chicago voters, who class him as a successful politician not big enough to the office. Edward H. Wright, Illinois Commerce Commissioner, they say, would be the ideal candidate, because of his large acquaintanceship among the businessmen and the known ability to get things done. Wright is unavailable because of ill health. Edward Morris, grand master of Goucher College, is another wealthy man and the training and ability to fill the job of congressman, but he is not locally popular. William Dawson, runner-up in the decased, Martin B. Madden, white, was nominated, is the type of young man who the thinking voters would select. He has the training and could be the necessary republican for a few years, lacks the inside political track, which DePriest holds, and has used to have himself nominated by the committee. Martin Pink, District, with 65 percent colored vote, nomination is equivalent to election. William H. Harrison, U. S. Assistant Attorney known over the country for his defense counsel, threatens to run as an independent, if DePriest goes through with his campaign, has come to the city of Oklahoma to be considered for the governor's office.
DEPRESST TALKS
Gina Hearn, not only looks the capable and successful business man that he is, but he talks to a high-power congressman. Mr. Hearn is a Republican, and Monday that under the law, he is the only prop candidate for the full term Congressman from the First district, the confident of election, and expects to be a strong supporter. It would cost too much to have a special election to fill Mr. Madden's seat. Mr. DePrist said, "to that the First, Mr. DePrist said, go unrepresented until next year."

SPECIAL PROBE TO BE HELD IN GRANADY DEATH
CHICAGO — Following out the belief, expressed by witnesses on the stand, that the slayers of Octavius C. Granady are known, the coroner's jury conducting the inquest, recommended the appointment of a special grand jury to investigate the crime and the general lawlessness in the recent primary.
Despite the fact that the coroner'jury turned in a verdict that Granady died of gunshot wounds fired by 'one or more men who are unknown to this jury'; witnesses' testimony during the inquest hinted that the assassins are known but are not known for fear of meeting a similar fate.
Crowe Opposes Probe
The jury verdict urged assistance from the Chicago Bar Association in filing a complaint against the counsel who will direct the probe, but reports from Crowe's office indicate that he will oppose any efforts at a special investigation. A lawyer for the defense alleges that the investigation was started by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P.

5,000 WITNESS A.M.E. OPENING CHICAGO MEET
Half Audience Unable To Hear Speakers As Loudspeakers Fail
CHICAGO, (By Carl Murphy)—Half the audience of 5,000 persons who attended the opening of the 28th quadrennial general conference in Eighth Regiment Armory Monday were spectators only.
A microphone was placed on the audience. Delegates and visitors from all over the world, who had seats in the galleries or the lower half of the big hall, could only guess what Bishop Murphy was talking about. Fortunately, drowned the voices of the various bishops, all of whom were given a part in the opening exercise.
Keynote Address
Bishop Murphy, the keynote speaker, Referring indirectly to the reports that laymen will stage a fight for equal representation, the removal of the time limit and the rotation of bishops. Bishop Johnson pleaded with the delegates to "stand by the church" in reference to right that the world has known, the bishop declared. "It's founder was divine. He's head is Jesus Christ. Jesus has never deserted himself. When Bishop Johnson wrote as written manuscript in oratorical flights, his voice assumed a mourning cadence, and the hundred or Georgia delegation "moaned" with him.

MEMPHIS, TENN.—With minor reservations the City of Memphis is making good its promise not to discriminate against any members of the race at the annual meeting of the National Conference of Social Work which is in session here this week.
Two white organizations, however which usually meet with the conference refused to follow it to the South The Association of Jewish Charities House Conference are meeting in Cincinnati and Boston, respectively.
A strange sight is being presented to the South with colonial delegates to the National Conference attending all of the sessions, including the breakfast, dinner and luncheon conferences, without the slightest disruption. The auditorium and other meeting rooms in the Municipal Auditorium where the gathering is being held, Negroes and whites are meeting wherever they desire to sit downstairs or in the balcony.
Colored waiters in the hotels are getting a thrill out of waiting on tables at which are seated both white and colored diners. Three Negroes, two white and two black, the School of Social Work attended the breakfast of the alumni association of the School on Saturday morning at the exclusive Elk's Hotel. Dinner was served in the tenth floor room or on the elevators was there the slightest suggestion of segregation. Other dinner meetings have been attended by the colored delegates with the same fair treatment.
Even at a group reception given for the President of the conference, when it developed that no invitations had been issued to the colored delegates, the President, the affair and attended a dance and reception being given by some colored citizens at the same hour. It must not be overcome, however, was the fact on the printed programs the designation of Mr. and Mrs. are omitted in the list of names of the colored delegates. The local printing committee, is expected to be taken up with the Executive Committee of the National Conference. 50 Deletes There are about fifty colored delegates here for the conference, at least a dozen of whom are on the

JACKSON GROUP WINS IN G. O. P. PRIMARIES
Carrying five of the six districts, the Jackson-Marchant faction won a complete victory over the Weller forces in the state-wide primary, Monday. The victory, which will give them control of the state convention, which will meet late this month or the first of June, ended one of the bitterest internal fights the party has witnessed in this state for some time and settles for the next four years, at least, the question of leadership between the National Liberals W. P. Jackson and O. E. Weller.
FOURTH DISTRICT
In the fourth district, where the race vote was a deciding factor, the Broening-Marchant-Jackson ticket defeated the state convention to the state convention: was as follows: Marchant-Jackson ticket: Daniel-Richard. 1906; 1906; C. *Marcellus C. Hauy*. 1933; Marse S. Calway. 1922; Anderson, 1905, and John R. Cayney. 1923.
are not for sale at any price. But hundreds of others are. In many cases delegates will vote as their leader directs not knowing that he will be in advance to deliver their support.
But when it is all over, the bishops will be said to have been divinely elected.
**Why They Run**
The salary of a bishop is $3,500. He is elected for life and fees of $100 are paid him for each annual conference. In addition, each bishop will whiten his hair from $20 to $150 for a sermon.
Some bishops preach three times a day on Sunday and in salary and fees collect from the church nearly $10,000.
**Just Political Campaign**
No more public campaign for votes is conducted by the ordinary ward committeeman or pastor here are elected to the council. Huge signs, twenty feet long and eight feet high, are erected on the front of the dwellings, opposite the armory where the conference is now held.
One of them reads "Support Rev. J. A. Lovinsky of Georgia for Bishop—The only man with a platform broad enough for ministers and laymen." Elect him and bless the connection.
In the same building are headquarters of J. L. Butler and F. R. Sims, of Georgia, candidates for bish-

Attempt to segregate the races at four special events arranged especially for the M. E. Conference in session here was first frustrated when a protest was lodged with that body here last week.
The first knowledge that the races would be separated came when Mrs. de Morgan Frank went to the Methodist Book Concern and sought to purchase seats. Mrs. Franklin was told by a young woman that colored people had been restricted to an arsenal above at the convention hall. However, declared that no order had been given to segregate the races and it was believed that action referred to had been arranged by someone on the local committee.

WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special) — "Coley" Blease, Democratic Senator from South Carolina, went on a rampage here again Monday taking raps at Hoover, President Johnson, of Howard University and an AFRO-AMERICAN news story.
Senator Blease's tirade came during the discussion of Bill (S 1727) to amend the retirement of employees act for the classified Civil Service.
This was done, he said, because Negroes in the State of Ohio heralded Hoyo made it a special appeal to colored voters to support Hoyo.
Colored Woman Virago
"I warn you people," declared Blease, "that when you turn the Negro man loose in a riot with what-ever arms he may be able to accumulate, you will be rapo, loose with a torch, God save you people who are acting as you do toward them today.
"You may smile at it today and that people who have faced it warn you that you are playing with fire, that you are playing with serpents; and when that day comes do not forget that the solid man stands on the supremacy upon which she has ever stood."

"I do not think the candidate, himself, is responsible for that, but it is being talked and it is being talked back to Bert Hoover. I do not think they know it, but some of their friends are saying it; but I will tell you this much more clearly: "I would (Continued on Race Five)."

GLASH IN DEBATE
Audience Divides In Decision
On Merits Presented Of

discussion.
“Northwestern, which was repre
‘sented by Stanford Clinton’ and. D
KC. Carter, both white, took the af-
firmative ‘while Howard, represented
‘by Robert A. Burrell and Hobert E
Dandridge took the negative.
‘Audience Divided As ‘To Winner
| There was much difference of opin-
‘on, among members of the audience
5/28 whg won the sharply contested
‘tate. Some. thought, that North-
Western won because of the natural-
ess, ease, and power of persuasion
that Stanton Clinton, second speaker
for the affirmative had. Others thins
that Howard won because of the evl-
dence that was actually presented be
Mr. Dandridge in the rebuttals. ‘This
Bi of evidencee was In, the form
of an Associated Press dispatch to
the Evening Star, dated may 3,
‘The dispatch stated that crime was
on the inerease In New York State.
The ‘hewabive ‘used, this “statement
yery well to clear thelr point. Thus
Taetion argued, further, that tie nas-
al tone, and the monotony of D. K.

that Stanford “Clinton” may. have
gained for Northwestern,

RACEMOSTFERTILE IN U.S. SAYS INSURANCE STATISTICIAN
RACE MOST FERTILE IN. U S., SAYS DUBLIN
Group Most Prolific Of All Native Stock, Says Insurance Statistician
GIVES WARNING ON SOCIAL DISEASES
Only Obstacle In Health Progress, He Says
NEW YORK—"Of all the native stocks in America, it is and has always been the most prolific," declares Dr. Lois I. Dublin of the Negro, in a new book, "Health and Wealth." Dr. Dublin continues:
"The doleful prophecies of those who saw the race problem solved through his extinction, have been absolutely discredited by recent events. The recent gains in the average length of life are entirely commensurate with those of the white population. This fact alone holds out the greatest promise for the future of the Negro in America. Dr. Brubaker reports a sharp decline in the incidence of tuberculosis among Negroes and says:
"The colored people have, as a race, good physiques and they are learning all the time to take better care of themselves in relation to their changing environment. In their native habitation, tuberculosis was either unknown or very slightly prevalent. There is no reason, therefore, when they should not unimply have with low a tuberculosis death rate as a group of the American population in similar economic circumstances."
Gives Warning
On the other hand, Dr. Dublin issues a warning against the high death rate from Syphilis and degenerative diseases of syphilis origin, such as lecomotor ataxia and general paralysis. From even a few of these venous diseases appear to be the important single obstacle to the health progress of the race. According to scientific forecast, Dr. Dublin reports, the Negro who now numbers about 10 per cent of the population of the United States, will not change his relative status in any marked degree. His key challenge and the year to come will probably see him claiming an increasingly imminent and worthy part in the affairs of the country. His achievement in America will be ultimately recognized not only as the greatest experiment in racial adjustments ever undertaken by man, but as the most encouraging and gratifying episode in our national life. The Statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, and one of the best known authorities on vital statistics.

LITTLE BLACK BABY
"There were people whom I knew from his boyhood quite well. I rolled the mail in a town there from the depot to the postoffice in a cart, away back, as I was walking up the street as white, far as color of skin was concerned, as any man nii of this building. I came up here, washing, got an appointment through the then Poinmaster, a Republican from the North, went to work in one of the department, then the wife, whose father was a very splendid white man of standing and influence here in the community. He came from one of the far eastern States. This boy and his girl mother. About 14 or 15 months after they had been married this girl gave birth to a woman with the husband on the outside, anxiously waiting, as I suppose parents generally are. The boy walked around his room. About the mother, who opened the door. The girl father said. "Doctor, how is everything—all right?" The doctor looked down, and he said, "The father said, 'My God! Is it dead?' The doctor said, 'No worse than that.' The father said, 'What in the h—could be worse?'
"He said, 'the baby is a nigger.' That happens back into the room and saw the little black baby lying by the side of its white mother. He dashed out and got into the room and demanded to know what that meant, and demanded from the girl.
"The reply was, which was the truth, that the boy was the son of a Nego woman and sent them away to his home, brought into the world it reverted to type as any physician will tell you it will do.
"That man took that boy and that daughter and sent them away to his home, brought into the world it reverted to type as any physician will tell you it will do.
"That man was born and reared in the county of Newbery, where I was born and reared. I knew his father, I knew his mother, and I know that the census is people who are pleading for inter-marriage, to be careful that you do not have in your cradles at home a little black baby."
NEW YORK CITY. — Charging malfeasance in office, former exalted ruler, Thomas Brown and former secretary, Charles M. Hanson, were sent before a trial committee of the Imperial Lodge No. 127 of Elks.

Eastern Stars In Court
NEW YORK CITY. — A bitter factional fight reached the Supreme Court here. Thursday, when the presiding officer of the order of Eastern New York accused of disregarding membership rights of the federal ed procedure. The court ruled lack of jurisdiction, referring the matter back to the convention of the order which will be held in June.
Hold Alleged A Murderer TOWSON, Md. — Charged with brutally beating Charles Brown, a year-old white resident of Baldwin, near New York, to the middle, Golden Larkins, 26, of Fork, Md., is being held by authorities here.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, (Special)—"Man has no soul, immediately after death his body weighs only as much as it did while he was alive." This was one of the arguments used by Clarence Darrow, white, famous criminal lawyer and friend of the Negro, to win a debate over Rabbi I. E. Philo. He, Thursday of last week, on the subject "Has Man A Soul Or He A Machine", before 500 persons. Darrow was born near here and his home town folk turned out to hear him.
To Darrow the brain and nerves are a telephone, system, and the heart a pump. The Biblical verse which reads "as a man thinketh in his heart so is he" was changed to read "As a man thinks in his pump so is he."
What Does Soul Look Like?
"What does a soul look like? Can you see, smell, hear or feel it? Each human being was at one time only a single cell in the body of its mother. Out of the 10,000 in the body of the mother, one happened to meet up with one out of a possible billion body of the father. What a slim chance you had of being born at all."
"Why cut the monkey out of a soul? John Wesley believed his dog had a soul. I think he did if Wesley had one. Mavbe the dog would not give us one if he had the story to tell."
Philo Twits
Philo, twitting Darrow, said he would have us believe we "make love with our pumps, think with our adding machines, generate energy in our stomach, boilers, and store it up in our outstretched storage." "If you don't believe, man has a soul," said Philo. "how do you account for your love of justice and championship of the oppressed peoples." Darrow replied: "If I have pity and charity and kindness in me, it is all I am capable of doing that's all. A tree does not put leaves out in winter because it thinks."

lyzed his need and suggested that he guarantee the realization of his dream through a Victory Life Perfect Protection Policy, but Buckner was a man of vision—a practical business man—who realized that Life Insurance was not simply a burial fund, but a living, active force in the life of every individual. During this period of his life he was concentrating every nerve and sinew on his effort to build a competency for the anticipated years ahead, he was investing heavily, he was certain that IF he lived and enjoyed good health, success would attend his efforts, but there loomed up before him the inevitable IF. This was the one big problem; but on September 24, 1925, this problem

portunity as they shelter and protect, is more important than the most justifiable pride.
Negro progress, in which is involved the hope of every individual Negro for himself and his individual family, is not being achieved by any magic formula or by any combination of fortunate accidents or good luck.
It is being achieved by the force of Negro dollars flowing through Negro business-channels, of which the most important and far-reaching is the insurance channel.
Put your dollars with other Negro dollars for your protection and your family's protection and the growth of opportunity for all.

Exalting Motherhood
To that part of the human race whose cheerful duty it has always been to bear the major portion of sorrow, care and anxiety in this experience called life, the country will devote a few hours of exaltation on Sunday—Mother's Day.
No man or woman can live in this day when progress has brought comforts and luxuries within the reach of most people; when science and industry put more human enjoyment in a day's life than men and women of by-gone times experienced in a year, can fail to realize that Mothers, most of all, are responsible for the perpetual sacrifice which brought us into being at such a time.
It was she who took the chance and went down into the shadow of death to give each and every one of us this magical and precious something we call life; whose tender care ministered to our early well being: who ran to help us when we fell and scrubbed our grimy hands.
It was she who saw through her tears, perhaps, when we donned our first long pants or party dress and who smiled with an aching heart when we had to tear ourselves from her forever to shoulder some of the responsibilities which she knew only too well.
And, go where we may, whether it be to sift our lives to ashes in the slums or take our places upon the mountain peaks of achievement. It always she who follows with the same measure of devotion, with the same never ending hope and love.
Young or old, single or married, we should all think of and breathe a special prayer of devotion to that greatest of all God's creations, on Mother's Day.

In Chicago
The political eyes of the country focused this week on the First Congressional district of Chicago where for the first time in more than a quarter of a century the race group may elect a man of their own to represent them in the House of Representatives in the Nation's capital.
When it happens it will mark a right-about-face in a trend which saw a galaxy of able U. S. race senators and congressmen rise and then slowly fade away in a receding political horizon.
It has been 32 years since Congressman Geo. H. White ended his term as last congressman and all but three years of a half century since Blanch K. Bruce folded his brief case and left the U. S. Senate as the last of his race to sit in that august body. No Negro youth now in our public schools or colleges have ever seen to make the face of a man of their race excepted to make the face of a man of their own's capital.
And by a new sudden fate of fate, the kind that gave the country a Roosevelt, a member of the race will help represent the second largest city and one of the most prosperous states in the greatest country on the face of the earth.
The only fly in the ointment is another of fate which may send to you of the mighty leaders, men trained and nurtured in most kind of war politics—a man able and suited perhaps to the kind of man-handling politics of that sub-strukt of spoildom which make up the base of machine rule—but unsuited to fill the place he must hold as representative not only of his district, but admittedly of 112,000,000 colored folk in these United States.
Objection to Oscar DePriest is this crucial moment comes upon the house of his scholastic training for education he may be more than supported by broad experience with city alleys, streets, marts and human contacts. But, besides lacking that deep seated grasp of the present economic and social trend of governmental affairs because of his political background and his supposed alignment with the underworld, he will make a poor inspirational leader for youth looking towards careers of businessmanship.
The best voice is that, whether or not DePriest or a more able representative is sent from Chicago, the group will again have a potent voice in the Congress of the United States.

And now by a sudden rise, the kind that gave Rooswalt, a member of the race will help represent the second largest city and one of the most prosperous states in the greatest country on the face of the earth.
The only fly in the ointment is another twist of fate which may send to fill this seat of the mighty Madden a man trained and nurtured in the worst kind of ward politics—a man about to suiten perhaps to ward off polling pushes—stirst of spidom which make up the base of machine rule—but unsuited to fill the place he must hold as representative not only of his district, but admittedly of 112,000,000 colored folk in these United States.
Objection to Oscar DePriest at this crucial moment comes not because he lacks scholastic training, for education may then supplement his training with city alleys, streets and human contacts.

Democracy In Churches
Probably the most outstanding question to come up in the three great Methodist bodies in general sessions this week is that relating to the relation of the church to the church. This movement towards wider democracy in the religious bodies is not surprising and should not be in any way construed as a revolt against church discipline. It is but a part of the world-wide movement of the masses to gain a larger share in governing their own institutions. Autocratic kings with power over life and death have passed and every intelligent government on the face of the earth would be taken over by the common people. The Church would naturally be the last institution whose traditional customs would be challenged, but that time has come. The power of a small body of bishops to hold undisputed power to make the laws under system of self perpetuation was certain to hit snag as the general intelligence of the com-
Probably the most outstanding question to come up in the three great Methodist bodies in general sessions this week is that relating to relation of laity to governing functions in the church. This movement towards wider democracy in the religious bodies is not surprising and should not be in any way construed as a revolt against authority. It is but a part of the world-wide movement of the masses to gain a larger share in governing their own institutions. Autocratic kings with power over life and death have passed and every intelligent government on the face of the earth is slowly being taken over by the common people. The Church would naturally be the aslst institution whose traditional customs are still held in place, but the power of a small body of bishops to hold undisputed power to make the laws under a system of self perpetuation was certain to hit a snag as the general intelligence of the communicants rose. But if the bishops have the far sighted wisdom to deal with the situation in the give and take spirit which has characterized wise governments the adjustment will be gradual. In the end, the hand if they assume an autocratic reaction the final result will be the kind of revolution which swept the Russian Hansburs off the throne.
Another very important thing the church is coming to realize and that is that it must keep pace with the economic and social march of man. Its leaders must understand the evolutionary laws of progress which act constantly to improve people to people to each other. It must be able to take virtual stands which will influence the daily weal and woe of the people it serves.
Just as governments must occasionally scrap time-worn customs and procedure and evolve new ones more in keeping, with the times, so the churches adopt new and better systems of administration.

Has More To Agree With Than Disagree With Clarence Darrow.
To the Editor:
Having read your article in a recent issue, relating your views on the management champion of civil liberty and human rights, Clarence Darrow, from the churches of Washington, I take this opportunity to express the views of one of the thousands interested in the welfare of the Negro race.
The leaders of one of our most influential groups should have taken such action, stifles the very soul of those of us fighting daily for our civil liberty. Such action, itself, borders on and in fact, is nothing short of the same tyranny that we have been trying to overcome. That a group of leaders, supposedly cultured and intelligent gentlemen, should take such a course is beyond the reasoning powers of many.
It should be borne in mind by those learned men in some principle Clarence Darrow is fighting for is the identical one they so fragrantly disregard, when that champion of civil liberty was barred from their churches. This is an other Newness, under the form of government under which we are supposed to live Clarence Darrow has that right to be atheist, agnostic or what not.
To close our doors to him because of his religious beliefs is as great a crime as the denial of his religious beliefs.
I, for one, disagree on many things with Mr. Darrow, but on the principle of civil liberties as guaranteed by the constitution of the United States I am heartily in accord with him. Further still, I condemn the actions of those learned gentlemen who so readily closed their institutions and allowed the arrest of the gentleman was right in some of the allegations he made concerning those disinformed gentlemen.
Darrow All Wrong, The Negro Needs The Church To the Editor:
Mr. Darrow's speech was good. He said a lot of fine things, but there are some things that were not. He spoke of God and of His seeing our condition for over 300 years, and not helping us. But we would have Darrow to know that God helped us and is helping us now. The change in situation can not be made in a day. It takes time.
In regards to the church and the Negro, there is no better institution than the church. His best friend—his only place where he could discuss his many problems. The same is true to-day. The churches are their own, and they can get together there as a race to-day when all other avenues are closed.
As far as Heaven's being Jim Crow, none of us know anything about Heaven except what he sees. He knows and knows just the thing to say to strut people. However, his idea of the Negro and his relation to the church is entirely wrong. Money and education are essential to the Negro's success, and church as well.

In regards to the church and the Negro, there is no better institution than that for us. In our church, we are not in our place where he could discuss his many problems. The same is true to-day. The churches are their own, and they can get together there at race to-day when all other avenues are closed. As far as Heaven's being Jim Crow, none of us know anything about Heaven except what he sees. Heaven knows and knows just the thing to say to sit people.

Eradicate The Superiority Complex By Reading The Negro History And Periodicals.
To the reader, I have noticed that a great many Negro suffer from race inferiority. Thus thinking themselves congenitally inferior to the white race, the loath to enter into direct competition with him.
Some of this feeling can be attributed to an ignorance of Negro history and of the accomplishments of Negro history and of the accomplishments of the Negro's contemporary accomplishments is disseminated by the fact that usually when the Negro really does something worthwhile he is represented as being a child, children always when he does something wrong his race is emphasized.
Race inferiority is also inculcated in the minds of the young by visiting different moving pictures. She shows the importance of being emphasizing the inferiority of the colored races. In most all white pictures that I have seen the Negro is portrayed merely in a ridiculous, laughing role of, or in a humiliating, allies risking his neck for his 'beloved white folks'.
We also read novels emphasizing white virtues, in which if Negroes appear at all, it is always menials or villains for the men to exterminate.
There are many other things of a like nature, which contribute to our feeling of inferiority, but I will let these be as easily suggested as a few remedies.
One suggestion is that we read up on Negro history and that we recommend to all children we come in contact with the reading Negro is possible of the colored pictures which are now being produced.
Reading books, in which we appear as heedless and soundless, will help eradicate the impression so many of us have formed as to our ridiculousness when compared to the white race.
We need to develop race pride and to work together altruistically for the elevation of the race.
Eradicate The Superiority Complex By Reading Negro History And Periodicals. To the Editor: I have noticed that a great many Negroes suffer from race inferiority. Thus thinking themselves congenitally inferior to the white man, they are rather loath to enter into direct competition with him. Some of this feeling can be attributed to an ignorance of the race history and of the accomplishments of the race both past and present. Ignorance of the Negroes' contemporary accomplishments is disseminated by the fact that usually when the Negro really does something worthwhile he represents it being done wrongly or always when he does something wrong his race is emphasized.
Race inferiority is also inculcated in the minds of the young by visiting different moving pictures, showing the "eyes" of the white and emphasizing the inferiority of the colored picture, most all white pictures that I have seen the Negro is portrayed merely in a ridiculous, laugh producing role, or if in a heroic role, he is always risking his neck for his 'beloved white whisker.' We also read novels emphasizing white virtues, in which if Negroes appear at all it is always as servants, menials or villains for the hero to exterminate. There are other things of a like nature to contribute to our feeling of inferiority, but I will let these few we have enumerated suffice and see if I can suggest a few remedies. One suggestion is that we read up on Negro history and that we see how we contributed with the reading of Negro history. I would also suggest seeing as many as possible of the colored pictures which are now being produced. Reading books, in which we appear as heroes and heroes rather than as ignoranceuses and soundrels, will help eradicate the impression so many of us have formed as to our ridiculousness when compared to the white race.

How are you your women?
Are you prepare sentimental show through her own life?
If the latter is and your daughter time has passes consideration. A female sex.
There is a large number of men and women—most women, who do not vote. They will no interest at all in the civic life of the community.
There are many reasons for this, one of the being the ignorance of the true meaning of politics. Mass meetings should be held for work with interesting speakers, who would explain them government, both municipal and national ought to be wide awake political clubs tively operating with like clubs among women.
When women are asked to help in such matters as the cleaning up of markets and the care of the poor, there are no media through which women can help.
I have known women who when asked to say, "What for? I can bother. Won't I to work just the same?"
In a club, well versed in needs of our people, we might be able to cure a colored police woman. The way our girls and boys of school age loiter on the streets at night is sufficient to make one of the most colorful women. Also need colored woman on the jail board, but there no agencies through which to work.
Our women should wake up and get in the right and learn to vote and vote for the right.

I have known women who when asked to vote say, "What for? I can't bother. Won't I have to vote?" If we had an active club, well versed in the needs of our people, we might be able to secure a colored police woman. The way our little girls and boys of school age loiter on the streets is a sign of the need of such an official. We also need a colored woman on the jail board, but there are no agencies through which to work.
Our women should wake up and get in the fight and learn to vote and vote for the right person.
Mothers, Are You Raising Your Daughters To Be Human Beings?
To the Editor:
Are you raising your daughter? Are you raising her to be a lady or a human being? Are you preparing her for the actual world or a sentimental show? Do you expect her to do good through her life? Do you expect her to be rewarded merely because she is a woman? If the latter is your opinion, Mother, both you and your daughter are seriously mistaken. The time has passed when ladies commanded such consideration. Simply because they were of the female sex.

Here are a few reasons why about six out of every ten men are buying cars instead of houses. First, because young girls and women would rather be parked, in a car, than a house.

Here are a few reasons why about six out of every ten men are buying cars instead of house. First, because young girls and women would raid or steal cars. Second, if a fellow has a car, he can keep longer than if he has to go everywhere on the street cars. Third, if a man has a car, he can keep it out one. Now, if a fellow goes to see a girl friend of his, he can take her to a show or moving picture, or to church, but she will never be satisfied if he doesn't have a car to carry her a long distance, or go sight-seeing nearly prefect distance. Then again, he has to have a car to keep his girl friend because if he doesn't some other fellow who has a car, will have a opportunity, and he has to go sight-seeing nearly prefect distance. On a nice pretty Sunday and he wants some new friends, all he has to do is put in a few gallons of gas, and go a few miles, and he has more friends. Way, if the same fellow would buy a house, no body would know he is living unless they went to see them.
Second, if a fellow has a car, he can keep her longer than if he has to go everywhere on the street car. He can keep her longer than if he is accompanied with more new girls than without one. Now, if a fellow goes to see a girl friend of his, he can take her to a show or moving picture, or to church, but she will never be satisfied. He doesn't have a car to carry her a long distance, or go sight-seeking nearly every pretty day. Then again, he has to have a car to keep his girl friend because if he doesn't some other fellow has to come with will take care of him, and if that happens, his good-bye girl friend. On a nice pretty Sunday and he wants some new friends, all he has to do is put in a few gallons of water and he has more menon than his car can carry. Why. If the same fellow would buy a house, nobody would know he is living unless they went to see them.

If Darrow Is. A Needs More O
Dear Editor:
Much of the church group concerning Deyt and the wchurches.

If Darrow Is, An Atheist, Well This World Needs More Of Them, Thinks This Writer.
Dear Editor:
There is much discussion going on among our group concerning Mr. Darrow and his views of the Deity, and the work being done by ministers and
Without a doubt Darrow is a champion of the rights for Negroes, and be he heathiest or not, he has undoubtedly done more than many of his peers. He does not mean much. Whether Darrow believes in Christianity or not, he certainly seems to live it. Brotherhood of man, his platform, is not his verbal slogan only, he lives what he preaches. This is much more than many of his Christian associates do. People may argue and debate with a man, but unless he desires, they can't change their ideas. Darrow is a man of race persist in downing Darrow, when he is championing their cause. As far as doctrine is concerned, I disagree with Darrow, but that is no reason for my knocking them. Our people could, to my mind, spend their time more profitably in lambasting some of the hypocritical white politicians who have fallen in the Negro all of a sudden, and let Darrow alone.

Pick The Best
(From Chicago Tribune)
The colored communities of Chicago have their own representatives in the state legislature, their own aldermen in the city council, and men of the county in several high and many lower official courts. On grounds of strict constitutional justice, they deserve their own choice, regardless of color, in the house of representative at Washington. But they are not the general assembly or a northern state or to the council of a northern city is a different matter from sending a Negro to sit at the national capital, where all of the people are represented as well as northern, are represented. The first Negro to go to congress since 1901 will ha e the eyes of more than his own district, of more than his own people, of more than his professional district should see to it that the man they select represents the best among the colored people of Chicago.
Likker—Slavery
(From Raleigh, N. C. News And Observer-
"Prohibition had its inception in the South, made in the North," keep living in the Negro." Doane, of Boston (white) to Governor Moody of Texas. "Did the South try and do it orderly? No. the old South tried to regulate it. Instead of regulating their living conditions through the States affected and letting other parts of the country where living conditions are better, their own, they start dominating again.
"The whole United States has to be bone-dry and the whole country, irrespective of conditions, has got to be bone-dry. The South is not going to get away with it any more than they did in 1861 and if the South follows through in dominion, the results will be far more serious than the South realizes."

"THE AFRO CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY."—Eugene Gordon. 1027 Survey.
Our Mr. Snoozeffitz, who in private life is an active churchman, is in Chicago this week attending the Church of the Holy Cross and Guy's, a prominent layman of the denomination and has promised to send us an accurate report of the happenings in the Two Gun City. His letter is printed in its entirety below.
Dear Editor:— We arrived safely by special train without the loss of a man although we were in a peaceful and tranquility of the journey when several of the brethren were caught with more than four aces in their hands. The spirit of the Lord prevailed, wever, and no serious harm. Upon our arrival at the station, a committee representing, the Mayor and city council, greeted us. They trimmed our hair in brass buttons and they offered us the key of the city jail if we did not conduct ourselves properly. Weedless to say, that we wert tired from our journey so as soon as we found the meeting place and exchanged felicities with our brethren of the faith, we started out to explore the priciple show to rest our tired minds.
As we did not have to go into conference to make new and more rigid rules for the promotion of women in the mission, we had a morning, we decided to make a night of it around several of the cabarets. Ever keeping before us the great work for which we are here assembled, namely, forwarding the Kingzombie game in the tenderloin to get to the bottom of evil and see what the devil is doing to me to him on his own ground. This we found at the Bucket of Blood, a noirous mob in the tenderloin, who had a hat of Satan, where half-aged women were appealing to the sensual and base desires of the flesh by shaking themselves in a most unholy manner. We went to the place where they stayed in such an ungodly place for a second and we left immediately after several hours. We went forth from this place with a greater determination that bootlegged the entirety and America must be brought to its senses if every penny collected by the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Slavery accomplishments. Why the stuff they gave us to drink there was terrible.
At the present writen' it looks is much the Rev. Herman Whofen-sniffle will be our next bishop. Rev. Herman Whofen-sniffle will be someone who was accused of defrauding the Farmers and Merchants Bank of several thousand dollars about two months ago, and while the Rev. Herman Whofen-sniffle end is spending money right and left.
Don't for a minute, Mr. Editor, inform us of any of our candidates for the bishopric are attempting to purchase votes, their high sense of fair play and spirit of Christianity, is manifested merely body actions. They are merely pledged to practice heavenly command that it is better to give than to receive so they hand out a few shekels in the hope that the brethren will return good for them. Other reasons why we think that the Rev. Whofen-sniffle will be honored by his colleagues and elevated to the episcopacy is that he was also sent to shoot one of his classleaders when he was accused of being familiar with the latter's wife. These were Rowe proven false although we were Chicago and the husband is at home.
From these few instances alone, and we could name many to prove that the Lord is the one who Whootensniffle is. Few ministers in the work of preaching the gospel of the kingdom have been accused as many times and wigned out of as many times this testament to the lamb, and feel that one who has suffered so many trials and tribulations in carrying on the Lord's work should be rewarded. We have seen many drastic measures for the reclaiming of youth to the church. A "spooning hour," to be observed between the Young People and the teacher, teaching, will be voted upon tomorrow.
By RALPH MATTHEWS
This measure will make it possible for young couples to make love unrestricted in room during this war. This was the reason war to combat the movie theatre, which already provides this privilege and is sapping the youth of the church. There is also some talk of replacing the pipe organ in our services with a jazz band. The Rev. Horatius Ottohackus delegate from Mississippi handed the organ a new speech. Wednesday, when he declared "The youth of America must be saved for the Kingdom, if we have to break the bond of our country." That expression alone shows how deeply the men gathered here feel their deep responsibility for the salvation of the world. Y.Y. W. P. SNOOZLEFRIZT.

Poem This Week
WHEN MOTHER READS ALOUD
the past
Seems real every day.
Doesn't matter.
I hear the trump of armies vast,
I see the speeches and lances cast,
Brave knights and ladies fray
Brave knights and ladies fair and
broud
I meet, when Mother reads aloud.
When Mother reads aloud, far land
seem very near and true;
I cross the desert's gleaning bands,
Or hunt the jungle's prowling bands
Or sail the ocean blue;
Far heights, whose peaks the cold
mists shroud.
I cross the desert's gleaning bands.
I scale, when Mother reads aloud.
When Mother reads aloud, I long
for noble deeds to do—
To help the right, redress the wrong
It seems so easy to be strong,
Oh, thick and fast the visions crow
My eyes, when Mother reads aloud.

DAY BY DAY
BY WILLIAM N. JONES
A group of race boys and girls in Baltimore will contribute their pennies to send a number of goodwill packages to Mexico. A group of white boys and girls have been doing the same thing. Several mages ago the Japanese people reciprocated a like event and sent to this country a group of Japanese dolls to "pay" back a visit from a group of American dolls sent to that country. SOWING THE SEED OF RACIAL FRIENDSHIP IN THE HEARTS OF CHILDREN WILL DO MORE THAN EVER DO TO BLOT OUT THE SHAME OF RACIAL HATRED AND THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE WARS. What a difference there would have been in the fate of the American Indians, for instance, if those good Christian people, who came from a religious ligious freedom and surcase from unjust oppression, had taught their children some of the GOOD as of their FIRST AMERICAN LAND OWNER.
Until this very day in books, in movies and even in history, the American Indian is pictured to the extent that he is given a dog a bad name — you know what follows. Our first settlers stole the Indian's land, killed the game upon which he depended for a livelihood, tried to cram down into his heart, a religion he could not understand, taminated his sons with their vices, ravished his daughters, and then because these outraged warriors raised their tomahawks to strike in defense and revenge, as any white man would. Salt would have an unmistakable barbarius.
Instead of the song of hate running through every nursery rhyme, races might teach the coming generations the good news of Bushnell, the ethnologist, tells the story of an American Indian, who dressed only in a lion cloth, knelt for hours in snow at his dead child's grave, heedless of the cold, out of sheer parental devotion. Their bravery, their stoic and rigid sense of self-denial might well have been a greater inspiration to American youth than the "bad inception" legend which has soved sword teeth of murder, mob violence and war.
In Congress
In Congress
For the first time in the twentieth century a colored man is to be elected a member of the House of Representation. B. Midden last week created aancy in the House from the First district of Illinois and the Republican organization of the district has colored man, to make the race. In theion of those who are familiar with conditions in the district De Priest is certain to be elected. The colored man ever sent to Congress from a Northern State. But there is reason to believe that his election will be denied by that of another of his race. New York has an important day, Harlem, once the abiding place of the majority of Gotham's Irish-American citizens, is now al-ready populated by people of colored blood. Should that the time has come when they should be represented in Congress, and this is by no means a remote possibility, they have the power to send one of their own people to Washington.
The first Negro to be admitted to a seat in the House of Representatives was Jefferson F. Long, who was seated on the front court of Georgia after that State wasmitted to representation in 1870. But Long's term was a very brief one. He was seated on January 16, 1871, and was until the close of the session there. There were five colored men in the House in the Forty-second Congress—Josiah T. Walls, of Florida; Ransom R. Rainey, Alonzo J. Ransom R. Rainey, Carl C. De Large, of South Carolina, all of whom, except the latter, were returned to the Forty-third and Forty-fourth Congresses. In the Forty-fourth men of the race occupying the House, among whom was Cap "Bob" Smalls, "hero of the steamer Planter," who served in the Forty-fourth, Forty-seventh, Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses.
South Carolina holds the record for the number of colored men sent to theressy. Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, Mississippi, have had Negro representatives. The Old North State was the last to send a colored man. He was George H. White, of Tarboro, elected in 1886 and reelected in 1891. His term expired in March 1901. His team has been no representative of the race in the House since that day.
Two men of African blood have occupied the Senate. Both, George H. White, of Tarboro, Mississippi, Hiram B. Natchere, took his seat in February 1870, and served until March 4, 1841. Four years later Blanche K. Bruce began a term of six years. He was the only colored man who ever served a full term in the Senate.
Twent'- colored men have occupied seats in the House of Representatives. Now one is to come out of the North.

AFRICAN PROVERB THE WEEK
The ant has beaten the cricket (Industry and thrift will triumph over indulence.)
Move The G. O. P.
Convention
Move The G. O. P.
Convention
Move the Republican national convention away from Kansas City Kansas City is flagrantly, defiantly breaking its promises of hospitality to the Methodists and it will have no impact on the Republicans about doing the same to the Republican nation. It is not given any of us to know the future, but we cannot doubt what we see. To both the Methodists and the Republicans the committee representing this city is defining equal hospitality for Negroes white delegates. In the later case this promise was made and repeated, the time in the presence of Negroes white delegates what would happen here. It was done after hearing stated the exact conditions expected. Only has Kansas City required of Republican delegates that they accept housing for Negroes who separate Negroes from whites, but actually sent to the leaders of the word that Negroes, even members of delegations, could not visit the white members "except under conditions."
Excelsior Springs, another Missouri city, has just entertained the bishop on the Methodists in their council, and has given special hospitality for all alike. But the bishop met here in Kansas City some years ago in the doorman of the hotel which they engaged for their meeting, refused to permit a Negro bishop to enter, and only by telephoning in, could he make his plight known. Not even in the Spartan City any precedent for denying to a Negro entry to a hotel on a visit.
Later the Methodists were buried into security by the bland promises of past experience, they mindful of their definite understanding. Meetings were held last year at which the church's representatives received from the city that Negro Methodists men assurances that Negro Methodists are for equally. The promises were definite. To date, Kansas City has not had any promises, but has shamelessly shifted its bishops of the church about in such unseemly quarters that for sheer self-respect they have moved to the homes of the people. A local director of arrangement has kept up the Kansas City custom that a Negro bishop has been refused seats at the feature entertainments for the section reserved for your people.
How different conventions with Negroes in them are handled where they are held in Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Concederacy, entertained the Negro Elks three years ago, tens of thousands of them adequately, it opened its hotels, cafes, public places of every kind, Kansas City, little in vision, gain, will not house Negroes who come with conventions, and even adds to entry to places of public conventions 'except under conditions': We repeat—move the Republican man to a convention away from Kansas City.
Status of Lynching
(From The Portland Ore., Oregonian)
The figures for lynching for 1937 prepared by the Federal Council of Churches do not correspond with those of the National Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The former are optimistically given sixteen, while the latter account for twenty-one, giving places and dates. If the first had been true the record for the year would equal twenty-one, and the nearly as favorable as that of 1923 when seventeen lynchies occurred Both, however, show a marked improvement over 1926, with thirty, and the contrast with 1922 and all the years previously for which statistics are available is the most striking of all.
It was in 1922 that the Dyer anticholl bill, aimed to provide pecuniary recourse against communities permitted nychlings passed by the municipality representatives. Though it failed to reach a vote in the Senate, the fact of its partial success was in itself a significant victory in nychlings in that year, mostly before the bill had come to a vote in the House, and in 1933 there were but thirty, which number has not been increased. The Dyer Bill is an illustration of the value of publicity as a stimulant to public opinion. It constitutes a plain encroachment by the government in the function normally belonging to the States. It nevertheless operated beneficially in two ways—by directing attention to the evil on the part of those who were nychlings and by suggesting to the States which were the chief offenders that unless their citizens adopted remedial measures Congress would be furnished with added reasons for pressing the bill.
Abatement of lynching, therefore cannot be regarded as a mere coincidence. Yet the threat that lynching itself have been sufficient if it had not been that the system was based on an admittedly vicious theory. Open forers of lynching and lynchings, the opponents, who showed that laxness invariably reacts on the community tolerating it. It appears that improvement in about a quarter of the results of popular sentiment in the States formerly charged with sustaining the practice. horrence in the North was upward in proportion, and was bound to be in a nation when economic interdependence is increasingly manifest.
Do You Know?
How Long Can Man Endure Hunger?
Children cannot endure hunger as long as adults, who can hold it during a fast of 8 to 10 hours, or take it in certain mental troubles, especially melancholia, when food is often fused, the sufferer may often be fast more than in his famous fast more than a generation ago partook of no food for 40 days. Italian painter Merlatti for days wrestled with the freezing of water. Even wetting the skin with salt water is beneficial to wrecked sailors who have survived a long journey, and entombed prisoners for about as long.

MUSIC HISTORY MADE
AT 1ST. SCHOOL OPERA
Baltimore youth made music history here Friday and Saturday evenings when 416 students of the music department of Douglass Senior-Junior Hi School essayed opera in two colorful presentations of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin." The three act opera not only brought out a display of juvenile talent, with an advanced degree of skill, but also an emphm for W. Llewellyn Wilson, who directed the orchestra and the large cast on the stage.
Rats Overrun City
"The Pied Piper of Hamelin" is a simple and old story, familiar to thousands, Hamelin Town, a mythical city in Brunswick, is overrun with rats. The rodents have multiplied until the townsmen are kept in a frenzy of fear. Their appeals to the mayor and his corporation brought forth the admission that they were unable to rid their city of the plague. The result is a fearful figure, comes on the scene and announces that he will rid the town of rats for a thousand guilders. Upon his offer being accepted he begins playing his pipe and the rodents follow him to the River Weser and plunge into the water. When the librarian returns and asks for his reward he is told that it was all a joke and is flouted by the people. In revenge he again plays his pipe and saves one louse how follow him away.
The youthfuls are taken to a mystic mountain where they are always happy, have fairy dancers to entertain them and a Moon Lady to sing to the sorrowful people are again shown, pleading for the return of the children. The Piper returns, is begged by the Lame Boy to return his play, and the people have learned the lesson of keeping one's promises.
Ayon Long Scores
Avon Long, who played the title role both evenings, acquitted himself creditably in the two performances. Appearing in the prologue, Long won the role of the long-awaited Woman. While possibly not possessing the voice of some other male singers noticeable in the back rows of Mr. Wilson's excellent chorus, the lad won his audience with his facile handling of the character. The Lady was also vividly featured in the first act, preceding the abduction of the children of Hamelin Town.
Paul Chester, seen Friday as the Mayor with his swaggering corporal dress, made a distinct appeal with his portrayal. James Gaskins, the Lame Boy, was accorded a warm reception, registering heavily in the aria "Good Piper". Gaskins was cast in the part both evenings, while Dorothy Liddle was the role of the Dream Lady. Friday
Cast as a townman Friday was Robert Burrow, while Lawrence Roberts sang the role in the Saturday performance. Annie Brown, soprano, seen in the portrayal of the Dream Lady won new honors the same evening and delicate interpretation placed her far up in the ranks of young artists here. The choruses were, in the main, well rendered. Responding to the direction of Mr. Wilson, the groups were particularly effective in "Ah. Could We Rid Our Town Of Rats," Beautiful " dreamland," and " the Regie" a hymn with organ accompaniment. Dances by the ballets were directed by Mrs. Gertrude B. Dalton. The terpsichore brought into view some well designed costumes, which, by the way, were made in the department of domestic art. Among the high points were with possibly a trifle more response being elicited by the rustic dancers and the toy soldiers.
4.000 Hear Operas
Attendance Saturday brought the total of hearers up to 4,000. Present at the final performance were Dr. W. E. DuBois, editor of the Crisis Magazine, and Countie Cullen, poet, who was recently weded to the author's wife, also noted in the audience.

Coming Soon—Al Jolson in “THE JAZZ SINGER”
'JAZZ SINGER' SEEN AS GRIPPING DRAMA
Throng See And Hear Al Jolson In Screen Triumph At Regent
Opening here Sunday midnight, bringing to race Baltimore means their first opportunity to witness "talking movies," the Regent is presenting Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer."
The minstrel man, king of jazz singers and one of the leading entertainers of the world, Jolson, is scoring heavily in this, his first screen played here at the Metropolitan eight weeks and it is being acclaimed by throngs of Regent patrons as by theatre-goers in scores of other cities.
Jolson's Life Story
The story of the play parallels the life of the star. He was the son of an orthodox cantor and ran away from home to be a jazz singer. In his first moments of triumph, just as the play in which he is co-starred is about to have its premiere, word comes that his father is very ill. He is too ill to sing the Jewish song of remembrance. "Kol Nidre."
Singer's Souf Tossed
between love of his audience and the
woman who made him, and of the
people at home who wanted him to
be a cantor. The appealing story is
certain to reach home, as it has done
wherever shown. The singer accompanying
the acting that would have alone made
the picture outstanding, the Vitaphone makes the effect more intense. There are tears and laughs
running through the story, in fact,
as Misha Yudelson remarks in the
document.
"He has a cry in his voice."
The personality of Jolson, equally
effective as the jazz singer and as
cantor while his father lies dying,
is the winning quality of the offering.
Dancing, kneeling, smiling,
he is the same compelling
character.
Vitaphone Marvel
Not only is Johnson seen and heard at the theatre this week in his screen debut and triumph, but the Regent is offering four specially Vitaphone acts and a court room sketch with a courtroom Peakbody most enjoyable of these is Eddie Peakbody's banjo playing. Vitaphone acts are to appear on the bill weekly, placing the Regent in the forefront with leading theatricalists against the country offerine this latest development in entertainment.

"Even during his affiliation of blindness he composed "The Harlem Blues". He dictated the lines to me while he was blind, and I dictated the sounds and tones to him on a piano.

"During my father's afflictions he never ceased his efforts for the musical uplift of his people. At Carnegie Hall the other night we put on a show that the people just did not catch.

Portrait.
In the new picture Chaney plays a gambler lead in a vivid mystery of New York night life, laid in night clubs, and in mysterious interworld haunts. He plays a gambler lead in a mysterious and Marceline Day as a heiothee, a shopgirl enmeshed in one of the gang's plots.
Chaney actually added several items to the picture by a principal of the illusion cloths. No other method was used.
Every salt Chaney wrote in the new picture was of striped material with stripes of different colors on the clothes that these stripes certain angles the effect of light was created. The effect was earrings.
While judging the role for the gambler Chaney learned much of the underworld. He beled language in the world was necessary for a sympathetic portrayal of the character of Chuck Collins in this
For instance, he explains, a safe is a keeper, an opening is a keeper, a ister is a keeper, to carry one is to "pack" it. Nitro-glycerin is known as a "sweetheart." A gangster's sweetheart is "moll." If she helps him in crimes it is a "gun molt," a unformed poison. A gangster's "dick" is a diamond.

THINGS THEATRICAL
BY OBI McCULLUM
Concerning Applause
Baltimore, staid and reserved old
town, where the best local
applause. The reference is, of course,
to patrons of the race theatres and
particularly to the Royal, which
is the best local house playing road shows.
Applause, which may range from
cat-calls and stamping of the feet
like a band, to a stylish
style to dignified and subdued sound
created by gently hitting the palms
of the hands together, is something
it is akin to that something that
makes a young colt kick up its
heels while in the pasture. It is
resemblance to the kick in a cocktail.
It's effects are much the same as the tra-la-la of birds which even grand-pop is wont to imitate in the springtime. As a young man he is inclined to say he was smiled at by a group of 1928 flappers and comics to chime out: "Boy, they're all right, with me."
Down at the Lincoln and over at the Star, where the patrons have not become sophisticated or indulgent in entertainment, the performers know when they are pleasing their customers. Over at the Lafayette, where the theatre-goers are even more free about expressing their likes and dislikes. In tl. new bygone days when 7-11, "4-11-44," and then the theatre-goers are even more free about expressing their likes and dislikes. In tl. new bygone days when 7-11, "4-11-44," and then the theatre-goers are even more free about expressing their likes and dislikes. Revue cavorted before the footlights, they always heard from the gallery gods, the words of one wise-cracker, who the armless statue of the world renowned Venus de Milo was discovered: "Give the little girl a hand."
On Being Disappointed
One of the regular disappointment moments of that of failing to see on the stage inside the players (especially chorus girls) whose attractive likenesses outside have served as an advertisement of the theatre are called lobby.
There are several reasons why some faces seen in groups may not be included among the members of a chorus girls, who have become temperamental, may suddenly decide they want to go home to see mother. Of cutting ones, the necessity of being able to pay for pictures as often as 'two or three players are dropped is responsible for this serious defect. Many producers take the question of lightly libly is reflected in the fact that one appearing here recently used the same picture as the other sons are when he and his wife were the only two carried over from that time. Another displayed a group of chorus girls who were not present in the resentment of the public may never grow strong enough to cause any noticeable decrease at the box office, but a customer is never quite as confident to find that it contains cane syrup, a package of supposed brown sugar

Student Opera Here Brings Out Democratic Audience
Opera, as vended up at the high school, was intended to be accompanied with the munching of candy. In the first place, there were boys acting as sellers. Flitting rapidly through the audience, they informed you that you could purchase wonderful candy, in boxes too, for only five dollars. Going up and down the ales, ushering—a service which most patrons see as a means of making you sit where you don't wish to—were girls looking, and no doubt modestly price, and smocks which any nearsighted man would believe to be silk. With those lads working hard try to get the girls to buy the smocks by sheer salesmanship, those girls could have turned the trick with a smile. Talking about selling candy, there was the garmoon sitting next to him: "What them fellows should have had is soft drinks, stuff just off the ice. But then, they would need cups, and some sort o' diety folks would want them." You could guess I'll do best with candy.
At the time the affair was scheduled to begin, and continuing some 20 minutes later, the feet of the participants were slightly bent. No sound then an expectant, youthful took a peek at the audience from the side or center where the two curtains closed. Whilst that curtain really needs is a good old-fashioned peepole, the fellow could get a good look before doing his "stuff". There was the girl whose hat refused to stay stop her head, and then there was the young toy soldier whose sword dropped during the latter question. The opera was on. And a pleasant time was had by all.

Cultivate a Taste For ORANGE DEE-LIGHT
The old fashion spirit of neighborliness is returning to America. You no doubt have noticed how folks are getting together in friendly little groups to talk about everything from babies and bargains to crops and weather.
And haven't you noticed too, how frequently those bottles appear on the scene? Novadays, at lawn parties, Church socials or club meetings it is unheard of for anyone to go to the bother of fixing up a bucket of orange-ade. It is so much easier to serve ORANGE DEE-LIGHT, the wholesome carbonated drink, cool and clear from spotlessly clean. hermetically sealed bottles.

"I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sahel, of Gadsen, Ale. "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable
for a long time. The druggist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made in to tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the price."
Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose.

Then a friend told her about Hi-Ja Beauty Ointment. The pimples and the blotches were soon removed. A creamy, beautiful softness took their place. The very complexion that men laughed at now drew them to her side. Popularity was hers—She felt that wonderful power over men and women that beauty brings—and all because of Hi-Ja Beauty Ointment.

aboard loses her hold and falls backward bearing me to the street with her excessive avoidipoids. Fortunately, I suffered no broken ribs and is soon proceeding comfortably on my back and meditating to myself how foolish some people is to believe in bad luck days.
At the corner of the intersection where I generally transfers, I notice standing in front of me an individual smoking a fumarine or a cigar. Of course, being an apt student of human nature, it don't take me but one half of two seconds to arrive at the conclusion that this baby is a bad egg. Were I a person of what you might call ordinary intelligence I would have probably recurrently objections to this final body condition as being as say, unusually gifted in art of analyzing the male specimen. I is certain that he is the type that would drop a button into a blind man's cup and take a nickle change.
He steps up to a dame who has been riding on the same car with me and says something in her ear me and says something in her face, but she has on a don't see silk face, but has been the object of my close scrutiny throughout the journey, without waiting for a written invitation for her, a written invitation for the face so hard that I is forced to my tip toes to keep from being struck dead by the conclusion.
Of course. I know that right here is time for me to interfere, because it would be a reflection on my standing as one of the leading citizens of the community to permit this countryside to permit an innocent womanhood to be subjected to the treatment of which this turpitudinous maverick is capable.
Being more quick of perception then most people you find in everyday life. I quickly arrived at the conclusions that I can mop up the street with this baby so fast he will think I am a member of the salvage company. Well, while I'm trying to decide whether to let him stay with me for a couple of rounds or knock him out quick, he walks up to me and busts me securely in the nose, which as you can imagine, caused me no little discomfiture.
"What you laffing at?" he asks smolderly, knowing me to be a man of few words and plenty of action. you has by this time prepared yourself for the hostile measures which

I am about to take because for less than this baby has done to me, a man of my quick temper would fight a whole jungle full of gorillas single-handed. Quicker than it takes to say Jack Robinson, I starts handing this mangy pup an eye for eye and a tooth myself. I am displaying so much effort and fist work that would have done credit to John L. Sullivan, Jack Johnson and William Harrison Dempsey all rolled into one. Of course you can realize my embarrassment when I discover that I am at hitting where this kool jelly asses me he is equally dexterous in pounding with telling effect where I actually is. A large crowd has gathered to see me clean up for this tub of mush, but they is sadly disappointed to see that I, contrary to my program, is surrounded with gore that sprouts profusely from my mouth when my opponent, so far as I can ascertain from my one good eye is apparently unharmed by my powerful blows.
But naturally, being a man who is afraid of his own strength, I did not fear that a cold blooded murder could occur. I would be a blot on my family tree. I is, however, almost persuaded to knock this baby for a row of Chinese Pagodas, when to my disgust who forces his way through the crowd but buits. He calls the patrol and the police. He comes vince him that this is a man's fight and he turns deaf ears to my request to let me finish this baby before he takes us in. Imagine my surprise, when he places me in the sickbub, hauls me to the other contestant and puts the other contestant by his side, has gotten the worst of the battle, in the Black Marla. But I consoles myself with the realization that he did not want to put a man of my standing in the other in a conveyance used by the riff raff.
I is later carried before a justice of peace, as a matter of form, with very little of my facial anatomy being visible between the bandages. Of course, I know that as soon as I saw this jurist a political wink I could be out again because no man in public would ever hold a gun by humiliating a man of my apparent standing in the civic life of the city. "You is charred with assault and battery, disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, and intent to kill, he informs me politically shaking his finner vigorously in my face. Is you guilty or unreliable?" "This dame here," I replies, pointing to the frill who is the cause of the attack, and whatever she tells you goes with me. She, I am sure, will vindicate me conclusively."
"Your Honesty, Judge," she chirps taking the arm of the bozo who has just been the recipient of my powerful blows. "My husband, here, and I will knock him nigh and I tell him if he pokes at me and I smack him. Well, this morning he was waiting for me at the corner and in spite of the fact that I thought it dreadfully sweet of him, I had to carry out my promise so I smacked him, and just when I was going to kiss him and make up, she boo hoo, bursting into tears, 'this horrid person (pointing at me) attacked my poor defenseless husband.' Needless to say, this hit of unexpected does not set so well with your eyes, and does not allow the disposition of the judge, when already looked like he had been eating persimmons before a frost.
"You!' snaps the legal light.

Don't Make a Toy Out of Baby —Babies Have Nerves
By 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 annotated or the management 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 cry, sometimes result in vomiting, and involve irritability, crying or sleepiness.
Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more oxygen. If you can't see what is making baby restless or upset, better give him a few drops of pure, hardness castoria. It's amazing to see how quickly it calms baby's nerves and soothes him to the point that it contains no drugs or opiates. It is very important 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 ather "upsets" of bacillus and 28 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.
tent of the law and fine you $50 and costs.
After listening to these complimentary words I is hustled to the rear by two ungentlemanly John Laws and there I waits until the frau, who has been notified of my rather precarious predicament shows up with the necessary mazuma to buy me out of the strong bars of the law.
"Well," she snaps, as we is heading homeward. "I guess you will agree with the necessary thirteenth is unlucky and will listen to me in the future from hereafter."
Being unable to hand her a snapping insult due to the fact that my gray matter is not in a mood to be put through any mental gymnastic. I is almost ready to sulk into silence when of a sudden I lamps the paper which I has in my hand and discovers that the wife is all wring a useful "You must to change your calendar." I snaps, "today ain't Friday the thirteenth—it's Friday the fourteenth." She shuts up quick.
My Soul And I
Bv B. E. FORD
My soul and I at the shades of night,
Sat down on a lonely road to rest.
I sat on the ground, as the golden hues died in the west.
And my soul and I were there alone.
Alone beneath God's starry sky.
Wed journeyed along the sun:
And never a one had come our way.
And all day lone met never a one.
My soul was sorely in need of food.
For need we had to be eaten.
And never a hand to do us good.
That long, long day our help had been.
My soul was silent in the shade of night.
But I would fain some little word.
My soul seemed wrapped in the dying light.
Oh we were stood in the shade of night.
"My Soul." I cried, "on a night like this,
I falm would speak of the things that were.
When thou and I both knew of bliss.
And ate the food that we have not here!
"Oh, sweet were the times in the days gone
When we roamed this world with a spirit light,
And we stood and watched the twilight sky,
Oh sweet were the times in the days gone,
When our friends stood near with a helping hand.
And we stood in the dark alone,
With never a heart to understand.
"My Soul, I starve for those joys to night,
I starve for the friends that used to be
their merry company, and I starve for
the light. I long for their merry company."
My soul, awaived from a dream, let fall
on the earth, and said,
"He lives in happiness after all,
Who eats, content, his daily bread."

In Darker Baltimore
BY RALPH MATTHEWS
Summer, with all of its accompanying evils, is coming on apace and by the gods I wish it would but tary in its haste for it, ere many man's whole existence a burden here anon.
Torrid days, forsooth, will wax in as torrid nights and sleep, that fairy goddess of forgetfulness, cannot be courted nor enticed to bide while house and more daring vamp, Madame Mosquito, who knows not modesty, kisses us incessantly throughout the night and puts our more desirable fancee to flight.
But of this applesauce we will have no more. More important affairs of state demand my rapt attention, the most abominable affliction of the rarel group in summer the social parades.
Here Comes The Band
Here come the men — phoole! — what remarkable specimens of pigs squat pipsqueaks with very large feet. All marching clubs consist of enormously large women and overgrown dwarfs. They generally have bald heads, which are partly hid under white sport hats with green brims. They are also covered in white shirts and keep-me-cool pants. There is always a uniform rank which is generally more rank than uniform. They are always ill proportioned, and wear more braid than pants. They are pinniness and the smallest man is generally the leader. He leads his company with his sword, which is large enough to capture all of Africa with singlehanded, clanks majestically at
Aftermaths
So here they come, tying up traffic at busy intersections, going nowhere in particular. In that traffic is an aged philanthropist hurrying to his lawyer to add to his will a bequest to him, to give him a bequest from having to wait and so disspusted at what he sees, he changes his mind and makes a donation to the Ku Klux Klan. Here they come, right past the home of their employers who had been forced to move to their distant relative's funeral. The mistress is so aggrivated because she has to get her own supper that she rushes out to the club to try to induce her friends not to hire any more colored chambermals and cooks. Downstown they go, past the city hall, where the mayor is racing his study chamber trying to decide whether to appoint a race candidate to some important office. He is attracted by the mayor, and the moment he arrives at his decision — negatively.
The parade breaks up when they are too tired to go any further. They are footsore, weary and disarrieable. Too tired to get supper and the children go to bed hungry. Husband and wife take out their clothes and faint tissues. They are locked up and pay fines. They lose their jobs — but why go — parades are a damned nuisance. That's why I hate to see summer come.
BEAUTY HINTS
BY NINA TEMPLE
FOR LUXURIANT HAIR
After the winter winds, the hair is usually more brittle and breaks off easily.
For this, try the hot crude-oil treatment.
Heat the crude-oil to a temperature that can be easily borne and apply it directly to the scalp with a tooth brush. An electric massage afterwards tends to send the oil into the deeper roots of the hair and stimulates a healthy, waxy growth of new hair cells. If you have no wibreter-brush the hair vigorously for five minutes.

Tea is easier to make than coffee and yet it is even easier to spoil a cup of tea than to ruin a cup of coffee. Fixed up with cream and perhaps sugar, coffee will not show quite so plainly that it has been treated. It is not quite so sensitive.
Blends of tea differ even more than blends of coffee. A person who is accustomed to green tea usually can see nothing good in black tea. And the opposite is true, so first of all a such has taste that you must know his preference. Black tea is now used much more in this country than green.
Cream, sugar and sliced lemon should be passed with tea. Remember that your guest may like cream or you like lemon with tea or vice-versa.
The most elaborate service of this kind that I have seen is in a famous New York restaurant, where, besides the usual cream and lemon with cloves, candies, cherries, kumquats, and mint leaves are also on the tea tray. Whatever is served with afternoon tea must be dainty. Tiny mixed sandwiches cut different shapes, small baking powder biscuits, or muffins little cakes, cookies or cruilers are all delicious. Cinnamon toast and bread are the main dishes. There are exceptions to all things and it seems to be English muffins which are rather large but of course split in half before being toasted. Orange Marmalade or raspberry, strawberry jam is often served with muffins or toast. I am going to give you just one recipe for a favorite tea muffin today:
TEA MUFFINS
2-3 cup bread crumbs 3 teaspoons baking ¼ cup milk ½ cup molasses ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1-3 cups flour ¼ teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons short-
Soften the bread crumbs in milk. Add the molasses and the beaten eggs in. Sift together the flour, soda, baking powder and spices and add gradually. Add the melted butter and the grated cheese. Grease muffin this. Bake in a moderate oven (375 degrees F). twenty-five minutes.
The Household Scrapbook
The Household Scrapbook
Painting The Ceiling
When painting the ceiling, purchase a large hollow rubber ball, such as children play with, cut it in half and slip one half over the brush handle to catch the paint drippings.
When Cooking Meat
When either bolling or roasting meat, turn spat for turning, for the reason that a fork sticks into the meat and allows the juices to escape.
Use For The Old Telephone Book
Instead of throwing away the old telephone book, use it for an iron smoother, tearing out a few pages at a time as they become burnt or crumpled.
New Clothesline
A new clothesline should be boiled for about 30 minutes before using it. This prevents stretching, it will not tangle as readily and will last much longer.
When Frying
If a teaspoonful of sugar is added to the lard that is used for frying, it will prevent the food from absorbing too much fat.

Once for four months I could not work. A woman who worked with me told me about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It had done so much for her and her sister that I decided to try it.

This is from Mrs. W. F.
This is from Mrs. W. E. Loomis.
I just must tell you that McGoyle's tablets are the finest things I have ever tried. I have always been thin and nothing to do me so much good. I was disappointed in the beginning.
I weighed 104 when I began—now I weigh 115½. I praise them. I can't be without them. My lilies are picking up fine. I am singing praises to everyone I see. I didn't have faith in them to start.

Inventor Of Ice Cream Sold Confection Dollar A Quart
Frozen Desert First Made By Philadelphia Caterer Early in Nineteenth Century
HILADELPHIA. — Now that old Soli Hain engaged his perennial pastime of cooking casserole bills temporarily, and the demand for cooling beverages and confections is on the increase, America will have the Quaker City man of color for favorite frozen dessert—ice cream.
Augustus Jackson, a jacksonian of the early century, was the inventor of the delicacy, according to Lester Walton, writing in the Sunday New York World. Four other members of the race, conceived catering establishments in 1832.
Sells For $1 Per Quart
Hain struck upon this concoction to build a casserole dish in Philadelphia. Jackson was kept busy selling it, and at the handsome price of one dollar per quart. So rapidly did the public acquire the cream that Jackson and his family were unable to keep up with the demand and other caterers and connoisseurs in the main, followed the inventors lead.
Others of the guild during Bogle's period were: Thomas J. Dorssey, who became wealthy, James Prosser, Henderson and Bager. Ancestors for his excellent terrapin. The firm of Augustine and Baptiste continues to serve the wealthy families in the Cleveland area.
Controlled Catering
Writing further, Mr. Walton says of the pioneers in the business of dispensing food:
Prominent Negro caterers in Philadelphia have data here: Henry Minton at Fourth and Chestnut streets, and subsequently 12th street, near Wainut, and Richard Thompson. The catering and restaurant business was brought to a degree of perfection by these men of antebellum years ago. Years ago the Negroes practically controlled these profitable avenues of
Following Jackson's death, his daughter continued his business for several years on Walnut street, near Tenth.
First Caterer
Philadelphia's first caterer was a race man, continuing Mr. Walton. The first of his craft, Robert Bogle, was so fertile that he not only concentrated on funeral services, but a conductor of funerals. Imagine the suave "colorless colored man," as Nicholas Biddle, a leading banker of that day described him, changing

People's Department Store To Continue Sale Until Saturday Night
Owing to the tremendous crowds that patronized our dollar sale which ran Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday, we have a special sale this sale until Saturday night, May 12, in order to give the public an opportunity to take advantage of the many bargains that are being offered. Not in the history of Baltimore has a more wonderful assortment of ready-to-wear garments and dry goods ever offered at such low prices. Each and every article that is being offered in the sale is made of first quality, and is being sold just a few pennies above cost price. We wish to give wisdom by taking advantage of the many useful things which are on display in both of the People's Department stores. That can be used for future needs and holding such articles until they are needed. Most of the things which were sold in the APO can be purchased during the continuation of the sale, according to a statement made by the management of the stores, who extends his thanks for the support of northwest Baltimore for the generous patronage given.

Others of the guild during Bogle's period were: Thomas J. Dorssey, who became wealthy, James Prosser, Henri Bouchard, and Edmund for his excellent terrapin. The firm of Augustine and Baptiste continues to serve the wealthy families in the City of Brotherly Love.
**Controlled Catering**
Writing further, Mr. Walton says of the terrapin in the business of dispensing food:
"Prominent Negro caterers in Philadelphia of a later date were Henry Minton at Fourth and Chestnut near Walnut, and Richard Thompkins on Fourth street, near Walnut. The catering and restaurant business was brought to a degree of perseverance in the days and by many who followed. Years ago the Negroes practically controlled these profitable avenues of endeavors and were materially re-creating famous as "a city of good food."
Newman Leading Now
Leading the caterers now is John Newman, who conducts a large and modernly equipped establishment on North 14th street. Newman's pharm employs a large force, with departments for taking care of all details of the work, from making ice cream as did his apprentice, Jackson, to repairing the uniforms of the workers.

Haitian Business Is Reported Good
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Haitian business continues good, and both exports and imports are higher at the port than in the United States, Samuel W. Honaker, port au Principe, cabled the Department of Commerce, according to an announcement made last Friday. The text of his cable reads: "Customs revenues continue satisfactory, while the surplus of government receipts over expenditures in amount, some $478,800. Government cash receipts proximately $319,200, the largest in the history of Haiti, while the public debt has declined to about $15.5 billion since the establishment of the financial Adviser and Receiver General. According to the report of the Receiver General, the good revenues should permit further the Treasury should permit further expenditure for productive purposes."

MEMORIAM
ANDERSON-HANNAH — Sacred to the memory of our dear mother, who departed this life one year ago, May 9, 1927.
Dearest Mother, how we miss you Since from earth you passed away; And our hearts are aching sorely, As we think of you today.
By her daughter, HESTER HOWARD.
BROWN — In loving remembrance of our dear mother, Carrie S., who departed this life four years ago, May 16, 1924, at Crisfield, Md.
Four years have passed, our hearts still sore:
We did our best. God only knew,
to ease her palms, which were not
few.
By her loving sons—ALONZO and
GARNETT, Crisfield, Md.
BANKS — In loving remembrance
of James A. Banks, who departed
this life, May 10, 1924.
When the evening shades are falling,
And we are sitting here alone,
Oft our thoughts do wander
To a grave not far away.
No one knows the silent heartache,
Only those who have lost can tell,
Of the grief that born ir silence,
For the one we loved so well.
Four years have passed, dear papa,
Since you were called away;
The flowers we placed upon your grave,
May wither and decay.
But love for you who sleeps beneath,
Shall never fade away.
By his loving WIFE and two DAUGHTERS, Easton, Md.
LUMKINS — In loving remembrance of our mother, Annie Lumkins, who left us on May 10, 1921.
A good mother never really dies.
Her love and influence stay with you;
Growing bigger as each year passes by.
Her children, NANNIE HARRIS, SISTERS and BROTHERS.
CARTER — In sad and loving remembrance of Ruth and Benjamin Carter, who died 2 years ago, May 2, 1926.
We little thought when you left home,
That you would never return;
That you so soon in death would sleep.
And leave us all alone.
One b· one their seats were vacant,
One by one they passed away;
Now the family circle is broken,
Will it be complete some day?
By their MOTHER and FATHER and SISTERS and BROTHERS, Clarksville, Md.
CARTER — In loving memory of my dear mother, Mattie, who died May 13, 1926, in Morton, Pa.
With her pal, my father dear;
They await their daughter there.
They await their daughter there.

TEACHERS URGED TO ELEVATE PROFESSION
If teachers continue to look up on their calling as a job instead of a profession they will be paid in accordance and salaries will take a more important Superintendent of Schools, told the Schoolmasters' Club at the "Y auditorium, Saturday night. Mr. Coulbourn urged the closer coordination of teachers, declaring that if they are to retain the dignity and respect due their profession they would have to stick together. Three Reasons. He gave reasons why they would have to stick together if they are to bring about the desired end of helping to improve the world thru the children. "The working group," he declared, "represents 65 per cent of the influential population of the race in Baltimore today. There are 17 doctors, 26 dentists, 17 pharmacists, 17 teachers. "The physician is the teacher when he is ill. The lawyer when he is in trouble, the drugstreet when he wants medicine. But the teachers come in contact with the child every day. The teacher's influence through the school is carried into the home daily.
"This," he said, "is an important one. I don't know if any one else should deepen his responsibility for the future genera- tion, but should work together in harmony."
One-Ninth Of Time
Another reason for concentrated action is that the teacher himself is the most time and portion of its time. The teacher control over the hereditary tendencies that the child brings into the classroom will govern its life to nothing to do with the child during its first six years of life, when the *abits which* will govern its life to do with the child will leave the teacher with only 350 hours of the child's time in a year, equals just one-ninth of its time.
The other time is taken up with probably bad environment, cheap movies, alley talk and other evils that must be counterbested by the teacher.
More City Employees
Another reason for a greater sense of professionalism among the teachers is that more of them alike already look up the teachers as merely people on the city payroll of no more importance than ordinary clerks, and that they must bind themselves closer together and lift their profession to a higher plane, he concluded.
Paroles Son To Be Pal Of Father
After he had been arrested while trying to pawn a $1500 diamond ring for $10, 17-year-old Alexander Couser was paroled in the care of his father and placed in the Criminal Court, Monday.
Judge Albert S. Owens, in making the decision, declared that he felt certain that the boy did not realize the value of the ring and just wanted it. In talking to the father he advised that the latter never mention this affair to his son and nag him about it, but try to win his confidence by being his pal. There is so much waywardness among boys today." Judge Owens declared, "is because fathers think that the only time they should try to correct their children is after they have committed some crime."
