5,000 AT A.M.E. CONFERENCE OPENING SESSION 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."

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.

BLEASE RAMPANT AGAIN Coolidge To Keep Cohen In Custom Post 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. Georgia In Limelight Georgia delegates took the limelight again after the communion when they presented Bishop Parks with a pocketbook and a new gavel cut from a tree in the yard of the Camel County house where the bishop was born. By this time the noise in the convention hall was so loud that the official stenographer had to stand behind Bishop Parks as he made his response. It was as if that half of the audience which could not hear had determined to make the other half appreciate what they were going through. Bishops took turns in appealing for order, but gave it up and conference adlourned at 1 P. M. Monday until Tuesday at 10. Workmen immediately went to work to finish the erection of the loud speakers. Bishop Carey Bishop A. J. Carey, who is under fire because he directs the work of the church in Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas, while holding on to a political position in Chicago as Civil Service Commissioner, declared Monday that he knew the 5000 policies that the Commission had, and had had 14 of them stationed in the armory in plain clothes for the protection of the delegates. Chicago's traffic would be suspended Thursday, he said, when a hundred or more official cars will carry delegates on a sightseeing tour of the city. Visitors Visitors from Maryland include: Mrs. J. Brennan, Mrs. W. A. Harris, Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Nelson, Rev. and Mrs. Columbus Handy, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, Mrs. Mrs. C. E. Stewart, Mrs. Monsie Davis. Visitors from Detroit were: Mrs. C. E. Smith and Mrs. P. W. Wortham. Bishop J. S. Flipper, of Georgia, did not commute with the other bishops. Monday. Individual communion glasses were used. It is said Bishop Flipper only takes the sacrae when the single goblet of wine is passed. Eniscopal Address The Episcopal address read by Bishop Joshua Jones declared that while races may differ, mankind is one and the same among all men. Hits Ia Bryant Hitting at Ia Bryant, secretary of the editor of the "Young Allenite", who accused Bishop Jones of mishandling funds of W伯尔福力大学. University of W伯尔福力大学, demands a halt of these one-sided, unmoven, mud-sliding trades. "If we receive many stripes, it does not mean we are guilty of these scurrilous charges."

Of Jewish Charities And Settlement Workers Wouldn't Go South CITY MAKES GOOD ON RACIAL ARRANGEMENTS 50 Race Delegates Find No Discrimination At Meet- ings ings 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 Bishop Costs About $5,000 No Chance For Poor Man When other means fail, sometimes the right.

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.

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.

By THOMAS L. DABNEY ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA.-Of the new trends in race relations in the South none will contribute more toward the amelioration of the race problem than the present policy of obeying wage rights, and lower southerners studying race prejudice and race relations objectively. The old South used to boast of knowing the Negro the new South is convinced that there is need for an object, sympathetic study not only of race, but of race relations in general. New South The new South seems to recognize the importance of securing facts on race relations and social conditions among Negroes. This recognition is seen in the work of investigation into the history of the University of North Carolina. Investigation in the field of social service is just beginning in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and other southern states with a view to ascertaining the facts relative to such conditions surrounding Negro life. Rosenwald Work In Georgia, thrush generous gifts of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, pioneer work in child welfare study among Negroes has just begun. He is one of the competent social workers of whom 2 are colored. Miss Ethel Cochran, one of the members of the staff, is at present studying truancy among Negro children in Peach and Houston counties, Georgia. Already Miss Cochran has discovered 94 colored children between the ages of 6 and 16 in these counties who have never attended any school. In order to stimulate an education in these children and their parents Miss Cochran has started a school for these children. Facts First Another study of a slightly different nature is being conducted in two Georgia counties by the Commission on Migration, and another study is being conducted by Mr. Arthur Raper, executive secretary, Georgia State Interracial Committee. The study, which has been conducted in Greene and Macon counties, is to get data which will throw some light on the causes and effects of Negro migration, and the impact of the Negro migration, while very few Negroes migrated from Macon Co. In the interview with Mr. Raper he stressed the fact that the Commission's role is the facts first, after which it can map out its program with more intelligence. The leaders of the Commission feel that the political and genealogical factors have been stressed out of all proportion to their importance in comparison to the economic causes. While guarding, against any premature judgment, Mr. Raper wended the stage to the present stage, altho not complete, seems to suggest definitely that the Negro migration from Georgia was due primarily to economic situations aggravated by racial local condi- Lieut.

C., Another "Nigger Heaven" And "Hell"-Dabney Afro-Representative Finds Mayor Lacks Interest In Lynchings—No Inter-Racial Committee By THOMAS L. DABNEY AIKEN, S. C. — Akken is one of the most beautiful garden spots in America; and it is also one of the least civilized towns in the South. It has the extremes of wealth and poverty, ignorance and intelligence, labor and leisure. It is the place where one of the most horrible lynchings ever recorded took place; the lynchings in 1826 of the three Lowmans. H. U. AND N. W. CLASH IN DEBATE Audience Divides In Decision On Merits Presented On Baumes Law Public interest in justice for the Negro is so low that the Deputy Sheriff who permitted the mob to take the Lowmans from the jail and not a single member of the mob has been punished! There is no excuse for this negligence since the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made a thorough investigation and gave a list of members of the mob to the officials of the law. I had an interview with Mayor Henderson relative to race relations and lynching. The Mayor was very interested in the lynchingversation. I learned from him that Aiken has no interracial committee. The Mayor expressed no interest either in race relations or law and order. He said, however, that Aiken has provided good schools for colored people. On the surface race relations seem good in Aiken. Both whites and blacks have about forcotion the color of the man told me that the same horrible tragedy may occur at any time. Neither the whites nor the Negroes, so far as I could learn, have done anything like that in Aiken. I knew a little "Nigger Heaven" with Hell beneath it, but few if any, seem to know it.

G. BLACK WASHINGTON, D. C. - With the audience sharply divided on the merits of their presentation of the book, the Howard and Northwestern Universities' debating clubs clashed in a hotly contested debate at Armstrong High School auditorium, Friday. The subject, "Resolved: That the Principles of the Baumes Act of New York Should be Enacted in the Seventh Amendment," proved an interesting discussion. Northwestern, which was represented by Stanford Clinton and D. K. Carter, both white, took the utterance of Robert E. Burrell and Robert E. Dandridge took the negative. Audience Divided As To Winner There was much difference of opinion as to who won the sharply contested affair. Some thought that Northwestern won because of the naturalism of the statement that Stanton Clinton, second speaker for the affirmative had. Others think that Howard won because of the evidentiality of Mr. Dandridge in the rebuttals. This bit of evidence was in the form of an Associated Press dispatch to the White House, where the dispassionate statement that crime was on the increase in New York State. The negative used this statement to argue that the fact argued, further, that the nasal tone, and the monotony of D. K. Carter's voice offset any advantage gained for Northwestern. The debate was preceded by songs rendered by the Howard University Glee Club and Mav Avis Andrews, soprano. The Glee Club opened the event with a performance entitled of Burleigh's "Mother O'Mine". Then after the invocation by the Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, pastor of Ebenheen the audience with the audience at "A Wish". Both Miss Andrews and the Glee Club were enriched. Following the debate, the Glee Club and the audience were rendered Logan's melodious "Pale Moon" which was enriched. Medium Crowd There were thousands and people at the affair. This was due, it is thought, to the sweltering weather. Many people did not know that the auditorium is excellently ventilated. Dr. William A. Wilburn, A. M.

Mills, whom Al Smith gave a locking in the New York governorship fight of 1926, has replied in a letter dated April 9, 1928, to the demands of Neval H. Thomas and Bob J. Nelson that segregation be abolished in the treasury department. The Mills' letter, addressed to Mr. Thomas, requires three typewritten pages to furnish dispose of the matter insofar as the treasury department goes. It was in March last that Messrs. Thomas and Nelson, representing, and Executive civil liberties bureau, first invited Mr. Mills at his office in the treasury to protest the vicious segregation practice. Mr. Mills was so discourteous and bellicose, it was so insulting that he heated the debate. He is said to have denied that segregation existed in the treasury but, when smothered with facts to the extent that employees supposed to be segregated had not complained.

Mills replied it is said that Nelson asked you can't bluff me!" Mills cooled down, however, and finally promised to look into segregation. His April 9 letter to Mr. Mills wrote that he has been personally unable to find any segregation in the treasury department, and he has been working with 5 Negro men working together in the end of a room with $5 white women employed at the other end of the same room does not indicate, and he has been working with the grill, which separated colored and white employees in a room at the Register of the Treasury's office, ruled that Nelson and Mills Marx was not the man who visited Major Woods, the Register of the Treasury, recently. (It evidently was removed during the interview that determining questions verified.) The under secretary stresses the Treasury department policy is a function solely exercised by the Secretary of State, determining Mr. Mellon is so successfully isolated that not even the ubiquitous Neval Thomas can get nearer him than under secretary Ogden cannot determine a question of police: Mr. Mills also reminds Mr. Thomas in the April 9 letter, that all the colored employees of the treasury department are satisfied with the "Mills insists 'sidestepped' on the treasury segregation issue". 18 Months Is Enough; Hubby Charges Bigamy WASHINGTON.

MALCOMB HOWARD TO PAY DEATH PENALTY WASHINGTON, D. C. — Malcom Bowdon must die in the electric chair for the murder of Jessie Nelson, his sweetheart. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, Monday, upheld a first-degree murder charge carrying with it the death penalty. His excision is set for May 21. Unless he is granted a stay, he will be the second man to die in the Disaster. He will probably be Philip Jackson on May 15. Three white boys, Nicholas Lee Eagles, Samuel Moreno and John Proctor will follow Howard on May 21. He will be the murder of Policeman Busch. Howard shot his sweetheart to death on the night of February 1927 when he killed he had made two threats to take her life. On the night of her murder, Jessica of her sister, Mrs. "Margie" Stewart, at 2351 Sherman avenue, northwest. Howard went there and entered a general convention everybody left the room but Jessie Nelson and him. Later she was heard to exclaim, "Do you mean it?" She then screamed, "Do you mean it?" She then screamed, "Shots followed." Her sister, "Margie", who was upstairs, ran down. Howard ordered her to "Go Jessie Nelson was lying on the floor apparently dead. Howard pointed his gun directly at her head and he shot her in more shots. He then stepped over her body and ran from the house. He remained in hiding for several days. While detectives scoured the house, he morgue held her head in his arms and kissed her cold lips. He later surrendered to the police.

He admitted that he had been committed to term of 5 years in the penitentiary. The trial commenced on May 7, 1927. Two women were on the jury. After his conviction the constitution required right to serve as jurors but not marking their service compulsory, was challenged as class legislation. One of the woman jurors was the wife of a deputy United States marshal and was not qualified to act as a juror. The Court of Appeals in its decision decided that both of these contentions were without merit. HIRE "SPOTTERS" TO PREVENT "PASSING" D. C. Fair Theatre-goers Picked ed Out Before Box Off- fices WASHINGTON, (Special). — Smarting under the insult handed them when the entire cast and management made reservations for seeing "Porry", the Theatre Drama drama here at the National Theatre. Players have exposed the system of "spotters" used by jim crow playhouses here. The fraternity thespians, who will be seen May 12, at the Armstrong H School, in a return engagement of the comedy "Charley's Aunt" at the National Theatre. Upon being refused admission, and told that three of their seats had been sold, they were informed that the National Theatre does not want Negroes in its audiences. "Spotters" Employed In addition to the Dinec Players, several prominent, sons were insulted by the National Theatre management. In some instances the "spotters" have failed to recognize some of the fellow race members of the audience. The so-called "spotters" are colored persons employed by Washington Theatres to pick out colored purchasers "passed" as white by the white ticket agents. As in the case at the National Theatre one "spotted" is the theatre where the person is in the theatre. The identity of several is known since the "Forgy" incident. Some of the persons "spotted" at the theatre are in the theatre Edah and Lilian Tanner, well known in Washington's social and intellectual set. Miss Louise Syphax. Miss Catherine Grey. Beatrice Walker. Marianne Gray. Fiona and a of their friends who are from the first families of Washington. Miss Anita Gant. prominent tennis player. Among those pointed out. Several of these persons gained admittance to the theatre at a time when the young ladies who had been formerly "spotted" approached the manager after seeing the play and said, "Do you recognize me? I do not." the manager politely replied. "Well, I'm one of the young ladies you refused admittance yesterday, but I enjoyed the performance. I will return to see it with several of my friends when your spotters' are out and you see some nearby 'jim crow' restaurant." Phi Beta Kappa Men Two Phil Beta Kapa men and one Amherst graduate were included among the persons insulted. When the Omega Players are seen in their uniform, tickets to the group's tickets will not be excluded, according to the group's managers. GEO. GODFREY TOPS D. C.

Utah), referring to the Blease letter, said: "I do not know for what purpose the Senate would ord, whether political or otherwise, but I want to say to the Senator, if it were for political reasons that every name mentioned in that letter is the name of a Democrat in the employ of the government in the General Land office."

On The Vitaphone Utica Jubilee Singers and 2 Other Acts President Johnson has not yet announced his decision in the cases of the instructors charged with unauthorized students at Howard University. These articles will continue to keep the matter fresh in the minds of the public until some decision is announced. The writer promises not to make serious charges fade into obscurity. Decency in the co-educational institutions of our colored youth is on the agenda, and they are only incidental. If co-educational institutions cannot be made safe beyond any reasonable doubt for the womanhood of our race, female students should not be accused. If co-educational institutions cannot be made safe beyond any reasonable doubt for the womanhood of our race, female students should not be accused. If co-educational institutions cannot be made safe beyond any reasonable doubt for the womanhood of our race, female students should not be accused. If an instructor wants to try out his luck in getting fresh with a female student, he will certainly pick his time, occasion, and environment. If an instructor wants to have the footlights on and the curtain raised to display his actions. No Juggling There can be no jujuging with the report made by the Discipline Committee, no diplomatic compromise which will attempt to satisfy accusations against the faculty to make the public feel that the whole thing has been nothing but a comedy of errors. Either the accusers or the accused must walk the ground. Either womanhood at Howard University has degenerated into lawlessing on innocent professors, or certain professors have crept into the Howard faculty and need some kind friend to point them the "wav out". The Howard Campus is not so innocuous enough to be accused of being involved in the near prospect for either the female students who have rehearsed the alleged happenings or for the instructors who have been accused of being the most sacred trust of their profession. Considered Innocent Even persons of a low degree of legal intelligence realize that in law a man is considered innocent until he is proved guilty and are held that the courtroom practices be left out of these cases. The facts are easy to humiliate. Meanwhile, the accused are trying to muster all the influence available to save them.

E. Washington, D. C. Washington Page **cause.** It is a wonder that innocent persons should resort to such agencies, these instructors feel that (there is something queer in the circumstances involving their names, why do they not stand merely on their record? Why is there need of a charge? Why is the charge has been made? It is the ill man who sends for the doctor — not the hale man. The marmoil Walker, the student who gave publicity to the persistent rumors, stands out as a veritable hero. He realized from his experience that taking he knew how difficult it would be to prove his case, if the usual legal entanglements were perished, that the main issue. He admitted that the might be made a arty and expressed a willingness to make any sacrilege to protect the women of Howard. Sentiment, in so far as the writer has been able to secure opinions, is hostile to the instructors. There is a widespread tendency to utter no opinion when asked about what should have been accused of such impropriety. The most damaging opinions come from older students both male and female, who do not reside on the Hill. Evidently, this is a problem for Howard University for some time. It is most singular that charges of this nature have been made before against at least two of the instructors, and that about any person's conduct do not reflect favorably upon that person. It is a profitable venture to run down such rumors for the good of the instructors should have a monopoly on such rumors needs explanation to the satisfaction of all concerned. The very minute the writer touches the subject of decorum at Howard, the instructor, with instructors of the "freshness" of some instructors, naming one of the four under investigation. There is no escaping the situation that some of the instructors know how their names notorious for undue familiarity with the female students. Howard University is primarily a male institution, taught largely by men administering a larger, by Prisses predominantly, men. The female students come under very few women in classrooms.

DEATHS **Officer woman representative on the Board of Truster** It will be an interesting study to see how this masculine institution is going to stand on an important feminine question. The female student product direct evidence to sustain their charges. Is direct evidence imperative? Any person conversant with student life knows that whenever a male student is present, that girl is pretty likely to make a report of it to some close male friend and perchance a girl to attend a front, that girl is pretty likely to resort to a primitive method of expressing his resentment, or to give such publicity to the charge as may bring punishment to the offender. **Wrought Up** It is a known fact that the male students on the Hill are wrought up about the charges which they themselves have received from the lips of their co-eds. It was this sort of indignation that led to Walker Lorris's article in the students' publication. Students have watched members of their own group sent away from Howard on representation of female students they are complying with. Instructors are far worse than those involving the students, and they are right in their contention. They realize, as well as the writer, that these charges involve only the instructors and not the students. These instructors are generally 'a characterized as "too familiar" with the female students. There has been no disposition to represent the condition as general. They are insistent that these students, who they believe equally should be divorced from the faculty. Only Four Involved In the first article, the writer called attention to the fact that there are many different kinds of patrons, for the charges were narrowed down to about four instructors. President Johnson has been given the same information that of 106 instructors, four only are involved. Let us all hope that no additional articles will be necessary. They will be amended, and the instructor advised to look elsewhere for employment. The writer will remain anonymous, and the public will be aware of these instructors. If the occasion rises for dispensing to the public their names and such additional information as may be of interest, it will not shrink from the unpleasant task. D. C.

Mid-Year Conference Members of Zion General Conference Committee on State of Church went on record unanimously, Tuesday, to abolish Mid-year Annual Conferences in any Annual Conference or organization in the motion to overwhelm majorities. The strong protest to the conferences being held grew out of the fact that extra assessments were leveled upon the churches as instead faced local church extension home missions, in many instances, an adequate accounting was not even given. Other objections were that donations were made from the funds to persons who were by nature members of the bishops favored holding the mid-year annual conferences. "Smart Alask" Intense acrimony was demonstrated in the Zionists vineyard, when Bishop P. A. Wallace, of New York, who was presiding, addressed C. Cook deleza, of Elizabeth C. Cook, J.J.

"When the question is raised as to the Negro's initiative and ability we point to what he is doing in this country, to what you are doing here at Tuskegee as evidence of our ability to assimilate western culture." Mr. Macasley wrote in the history of Sierra Leone, calling attention to its people and their customs, to the new policy of education which will include vocational training as well as the classical training which has been offered in training more than a century, Mr. Macasley said, the highest held by an African in the educational system of English Africa. He was trained at the University of Manchester and Oxford University.

Africa Church Damaged By Fire Modern Disciples Like Fishing, Too, Afro Symposium Reveals As in days of old when Jesus walked the shores of Galilee and called his disciples from their nets to become fishermen of men, fishing is today the favorite sport of many of the people in an AFRO reporter learned Saturday. Favorite Hobby Of seven pastors asked what their favorite hobby during vacation is, said a besaise and one one-some. All, however, agreed that regardless of what they were doing they preferred to be far removed from the tongues of women, where they could rough it and have a good time, settling their dignity once in the area. The Reverends D. G. Mack, A. J. Payne, C. H. Matthews, and J. W. Waters, Jr. fall in the fishing group, while the Rev. Walter Welter is an ardent follower of its great leader, the Rev. W. Walker prefers cannies and the Rev. J. H. Green likes to press his foot on the gas and see the world. "There is nothing" says the Rev. John Waters, pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church "like spending a few weeks at Mountain Stream, W. Va., with plenty of bait when the fish are sitting right and just as old them have a good yellow pipe and plenty of tobacco and that's enough even for a minister." Prefers Maryland Waters The Rev. C. H. Matthews, Field Secretary of the Washington Annual Conference Endowments Fund, while not knowing he was taking issue with his colleague, fails to see where fishing is in Mountain Stream and the South Queensiana River and Bush River Neck in Maryland. "Cut up some raw beef," he says, "the small pieces at intervals along a good stout cord and stress it a good long distance, and you get a good brown beef scooping up the crabs. That's real sport, but the best part comes when you get to shore and cook them." **Likes Seashores** The Rev. D. G. Mack, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, did not commit to the task, as he was caught, but he did intimate, however, that he felt that as much depended on the man on the bank as on the fish in the stream. He also likes to ramble in the country and visit the seashores as a hobby, he says. The Rev. A. J. Payne, pastor of Enon Baptist Church, besides catching the wiley trout, likes to find an old swimming hole and enjoy a pastime of his youth. The Reverend Walter A. English, pastor of Sharp Street Church, stares out at a back or round out a home run or two, if he hasn't lost any of his wailer. The Rev. W. W. Walker, pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian Church, finds pleasure in watching others play basketball and tennis while he wins a champion. He also gets a thrill out of a good checker zama. The J. H. Green, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, uses his automobile to baptize children. He likes to ride around and listen to his friends preach during the summer. S. S.

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.

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."

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, (Special)—"Man has no soul, immediately after death his body weighs only as much as it did while he was alive."

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." MORE M. E.

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.

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.

Perhaps Mr. Darrow is an atheist, nevertheless, 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 ingratitude, he has not, in the course of his life, denied the denial of our right to vote in numerous states. 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, he has no right to believe that the same principle shall still be the case.

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.

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.

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.

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.

But it does appear that the color of the church was organized. There were a few of the church that were organized, and occasionally a meeting was held in some private house, but the race was then in slavery, and both laws and public opinion were unfavorable to their separate organization. A number, however, were members of the First (white) Church. It was not until 1834, when Mr. Wm. Crane came from Richmond, that any special effort was made to gather them into a distinct body so as to enable them to extend the truth among the large, numbers of their kindred dwelling at a monastery. And, it was this same Mr. Crane, a white man, more than any other human being, who aroused and stimulated interest among the white Baptists on behalf of their colored brethren.

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.

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. Look And Learn Look And Learn By A. C. GORDON 1.

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. -AUTHOR UNKNOWN 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. But men and women throughout the civilized world who have followed the holy interest the U.S. Government has been taking in the so-called badly governed countries about us, must have chuckled with suppressed sarcasm when they read of the murders, bombings and corruption in the Chicago election. No doubt they would suggest that we recall our marines from Nicaragua and Haiti, where they have gone to insure and guarantee law and order and watch over elections, to do more strenuous duty right here in these United States. If in any one of these small countries there has occurred of late an election picture, dauded with more blood and slimy corruption than the recent reign of gunmen and gangsters in Chicago and the open defiance of law, we have not heard of it. And when we add to this picture the recent farcical endeavor to convict a rich man allered to have conspired to cheat the Government out of millions, right under the dome of the Nation's Capitol, we have little right to try to set other government houses in order at the point of machine guns. 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. Bad "Injuns" And American Children Gang Rule In Big Cities (From Washington Post) Saturday, May 12, 1928 "Africans have much in common with us. We express admiration in their proverbs, shows, and for us to get away from the nuisance that comes from inferior and barbaric slate. In more or less since, we americans are less civilized and barbaric than they." C. J. BENNER 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.

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 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.

TAYLOR NEW YORK, - Mrs. Lucile Hawly, dy-Leon, attractive, and unsung daughter of W. C. Handy, of blues fame, is an actress, dancer and quite an unusual character on the New York stage today.

Forget the world and try and do right and God's blessings will come upon you!" she expressed her simple philosophy.

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.

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.

Baltimore Producers To Take Show To Delaware Keith's Get Tabloids Fire At Regent Theatre Student Opera Here Brings Out Democratic Audience 写 Writer Sees Need Of Peep-Hole In Curtain; Boys Vend Candy To Munch While Listening Midst the fanfare of trumpets—no not the ancient tube-like affairs, but the instruments in the Douglass High School Orchestra—the penetrating out of the assorted world of music with 2200 people packing the auditorium. Baltimore's race group had its first student opera Friday night. At Wife's Request Coroner George Reinheard, of the Southern District, is investigating the death of the American-born, American-born, American-born�th. 187 Hennleita street, who succumbed Monday, in the South Baltimore General Hospital from to aid poisoning. Mrs Mary J. the review of a man who started a investigation stated that Jennings, who is employed as an engineer at the A. J. Oe and Company, Factory, Hill Street, was a company of the same name. While at work, Mrs Jennings declares her husband said his illness was due to carelessness of the company in falling to have several pipes covered by a cigar, an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of his death. She will later file a suit against the company, she intimated. 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. DANCE HALLS DANCEITORIAL By LEVI JOLLEY Following out the Idiom, "Idle hands are the Devil's workshop," a sequel might be phrased "Idle feet find a plenty for idle hands to do at dances." For this reason, I shall essay this week to drop a few pointers about the "stage line" at affairs where the tripping of the light fantastic toe is the order of the evening. In my mind, there are two classifications of stages: one, the group that stands around the edges of the hall and cuts in on dances who have already secured partners; the other group that congregates in a corner while one or more of its members demonstrate the Charleston, or the Black Bottom. Although these men form the largest part of paid entries, they are one of the most offensive groups that attend halls. For the following reason they obstruct the dancing and pleasure of others: Future peace and harmony in dance halls depends largely upon the dissolving of this group. Some unusual method must be resorted to. The question naturally arises, can any thing be done to remedy this trouble and offensive state of affairs? It is possible, yet improbable, that anything can be done without the cooperation of these youths. Failure of such will force promoters in the future to use methods for the protection and peace of the other The young men who make up this obnoxious body are generalists and start fight that end in injury to some innocent bystander or themselves.

Taylor Gor Page Ten PROBATION IN BALTIMORE HIT BY CRIME BODY Commission Finds Whole Department To Be Far From Satisfactory BETTER SUPERVISION; MORE OFFICERS NEEDED Work Declaring that probation in Baltimore had failed, not because the theory of probation was unsound, but because of the manner in which it was being administered, the Baltimore Crime Commission has recommended a complete reorganization of that department. The recommendation of the Criminal Justice Commission is based on an intensive study of 491 cases of probation, taken from the records in 1927. Of the active probation cases prior to 1927, it was found that 69 of the 232 probationaries were arrested a total of 131 times and 41 of 69 arrested were convicted one or more instances exclusive of traffic violations. Of 142 cases placed on probation by one judge during 1927, 26 were placed on probation by another judge, 10 were subsequently arrested. total of 259 placed on probation during 1927, 16 per cent had been arrested during an average period of approximately six months, and over 10 per cent had actually been one or more times during this period. Colored Division In cases studied from the colored division, of which the Rev. Beale Elliott is director, the Crime Commission indicates that he was not only has been unsatisfactory, but lacked efficiency. The commission points out that lack of sufficient personnel and defense resources has an efficient reporting system are among the defects of this department. The concrete cases are given in detail by the report, among them being the case of G. H., a boy aged 15, who was placed on probation in 1827 in the Criminal Court, being held on bail on charges of habeas corpus. Under the terms of his probation he was to "go back to North Carolina and stay there." In other words, the order was desirable out of town was employed. Why he should be sent back to North Carolina is a question, for he had been arrested and both of his parents were here. A few months later when he was supposed to be safely in North Carolina, he was fired $10 and costs in Baltimore City for disturbance. Shortly thereafter another fine of like amount was imposed for disorderly conduct. Dismissal and a subsequent larceny charge was dismissed by the Grand Jury. After the above information concerning the subsequent arrest of the G. H. Probation date to the probation department, the following memorandum was received from them. "G. H. Probation date 3-28-27 Man was placed on probation to the probation department by court. He has a long record and he should be returned to Cheltenham where he was committed January 21st and should not have been placed on probation. He can Found In Half Hour Found. Although the probation department could not locate G. H., the commission was able to do so in half an hour. Informed of his whereabouts, the probation department custody and he has since been returned to Cheltenham. Similar Case A similar case was that of I. J. J. 22 years old, who the probation department said could not be located but it took the Crime Bureau four hours to trace this man to several different addresses and finally locate him at his place of employment. When this information was transmitted to the probation department, it was found that not a single of this probationer's her addresses known to the probation department Non-Support Especially in cases of non-support has there been complaint with welfare agencies working with the department here.

We have had a number of cases where a court order for support for a child was given to the probation department. Our records show that we have calls to the members of the probation department, the result of which is chiefly promises to look into the matter. "My impression is that the department is so i.e. effectively administered or so incompetent as to personnel, that there is not much use pushing indefensible."

STUDENT BALK "HILLTOP" MUZZLE WASHINGTON, D. C.-Plans of the faculty committee on student activities and student papers to censor all material in the "Hilltop" has met with strenuous opposition from the number of students, it has been revealed. In reply to the letter of E. C. Williams, chairman of the Committee, Baxter, Don Goodall, editor of t he Journal of the American Academy. Your letter of April 15, received, and contents carefully noted, My reply has been written and contents being stated below. May I state, it is not in a spirit of wilful disobedience that the committee appointed the President Johnson, asking the submittal to the committee appointed by him of proof sheets of the Hilltop, for the final decision of the committee. I feel and believe justifiable to the two thousand students which the Hilltop represents, and as their servant, am responsible. The Hilftop as a student publication under faculty censorship, would cease to be a student publication, would mean the muzzling of freedom of thought and of speech as well as coition of thought and of speech, would mean the support by funds from the student body, collected as extra curricular fees, the step would be unlive as well as unfair. Out of twenty-five students of whom the Hilftop has a faculty committee of censorship* was asked, twenty-four: repressed negatively. That you can see that a large ratio of the students have a faculty committee of censorship* was finally, I placed the matter of a faculty committee of censorship in Council, the official representative body of the students of the university for its designation. The President's request, the Council voted that The Hilftop be free from faculty supervision and interference. Williams, may I ask that you kindly convey to the Committee on Student Publication and through them to the President, the Council voted that the World of Liberty. Wishing for the continued growth of Howard University, in those fundamental men and women, who are leading the fight against ignorance and superstition are in support of youth of the world—love of truth, freedom of thought, and building of character. Among expressions from students the following objections were presented in the current number of this periodical: I think college men should have some chance to think for themselves and express their thoughts. This is an age of thinking and free expression. —Pansy Berden "No. I think there should be sufficient knowledge to supervise The Hilltop." —Era Killen "No. A faculty advisor would mean faculty censorship. That eventually will be in entire supervision." —Bobble E. Turner. "Yes. All other college student papers should have a good Parker, 28. "No. The Hillipl is by the students and for the students. Therefore I do not deem the faculty advisor necessary." —Raymond Witzel "No. I think The Hillipl should be the official organ of student opinion and should be involved in the decision-making." —Milton Grits Callaway, 29.

If you don't believe it make a count of the parks and ovales on abutment roads and still, if your serpiles interfere, merely around some Saturday P.

And for the most part (there always must be a few exceptions) the competition has been of the beneficial sort and has served greatly to A fine thing—this amateur baseball, baseball as you like it, may say.

THEJY DO SAY that Joe Jeanette a 19-year old exponent of the fict art, and weighing, forsox, the immediate neighborhood of 200 pounds, is being groomed by Bill Duffy, handler of such battles as Lee Lomsi, Ace Hutchison and Wm. Harrison Dempsey, to make his Gotham town. Jeanette's real moniker. I'm told, is plain Bobby Jones, and his home address is said to be our own. He is a man of great luxury, but Duffy having a practical turn of mind, picked out a name from the list of sable world favorites, and what's more he avens, waving a show of effervesence, his man will the fact that Duffy has seldom made a bad bargain makes Jeanne look all the more impressive and made his arrival in town tantly awaken her. "I knock 'em cold" when he but we shall not war too enthusiastic. Joe, old boy, because right along through here the road for race heaves can be aptly designated as kinda rocky. WHEN THE SMOKE of battle has cleared of the Hampton Relays, Saturday, the athletic won very likely to see some new heads crown- ed growing in importance and size as the years have rolled on the track at Hampton has assumed a distinctive leadership in the meet track and field athletics. Each year the enrollees bring forth new schools and new material and affording a chance for the cream of the nation's athletes to meet and vie with each other for athletic supremacy.

Mannah, who attended the American Academy at Freetown, Sierra Leone, is great as a family of five children, and stopped school in the third year at the academy. He went on to play for the M.C. Heyward School in 1921, serving as a deckhand on H. M. S. High Flyer, but 10 months of the briny was enough for Mannah, and longing for terra firma, he left the Shawnee River level. While in the navy he had learned the art of self defense and soon had become very proficient at it, but a. he was asked to set his thoughts toward America and with this intention he enbarked for America, arriving in Philadelphia, where he met the manhattan Hampton that Mannah expected to go, but money did not come as quickly as he thought it would in America, so he plans for school were soon abandoned. Knocked Out Twelve Mannah, who was made a member of the Elks not long after sojourn in New York, where he was a boxer and got his first chance at the shugging game in Clearfield, Pa. where the Elks were known to be a boxer. This was his showing that he was engaged by a promoter who took him to Reading where he was licensed as a boxer. The Commission, of 18 fights, since taking up boxing as a livelihood, Mannah has won 12 straight by knockouts, been knocked out three times, and has drawn the other three. Seeks Greener Fields Because he did not get fights often enough to suit him Mannah, who had been a prisoner in Scott, sought Maryland and has stopped in Baltimore. living now at 664 adams street, free from prison so long ago, told of extreme need, many of the crops having been lost by fire and such relatives owned being destroyed by fire. It is Mannah's hope that he may come some day return to Africa, taking with him his bride to whom he was born, a more than a year ago in Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA. — Hilldale nine twice went down in Saturday, at the expense of Ewl's Ewing All's stars, defeating them by the score of 12 to 3. The pitchers of the All Stars did two hits, the heavy hitters of the Darbyshuck who connected for fourteen safe hits. Charleston, Hilldale pitcher, slowed the All Stars two hits and the All Stars made two runs, two of these runs due to a homer by Ewing with a man on. Fielding Flashy The flashy fielding of the Hilldale infield was one of the game, Mackey and Warfield making stops that seemed impossible. Mackey and Stevens, with three hits, were the batting stars of the game. The Daisies opened their Darby season last Wednesday by crushing the Giants 3 score and on the following day took the measure of the Canden nine in a 12-0 shutout game, at the age of 18. Every man on the Hildale team hit safely in both games, with the exception of Stevens, shortstop, who seemed unable to locate the apple. The Giants were right, not forgetting five hits each, in these two games. Play Japan Saturday, May 12th, the Kelio University of Japan baseball team will cross bats with Hildale. Baseball has been in vogue in Japan for the past few years. This will be the biggest attraction since the House of David Team toured the East. The Giants men from the University of Japan are champions of the Orient and have played a high calibre of ball against the New York Giants, but the remains for Philadelphia fans to see if Ed Bolden's Hildale outfit can successfully stop this wonderful team. In game the visiting team will play in Pennsylvania while making this tour. On Thursday, May 24th and Saturday, June 1st, the Lincoln Giants with "Nip" Winter.

Now do be careful. Henry, you may day this is. know what day this is.

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 dren fer Call Vernon 6016 The Afro-American—Baltimore, Md.—South's Biggest and Best Weekly. 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.

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.

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."

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 Already, every breeze that is wafted from the wilds of East Baltimore brings to my ears the rat-at-tat-at of an unpawned snare drum and the raking, rasping, unmelodious jazz blown from battered brass instruments by a makeshift band, each member of which seems intent upon nothing but drowning out the other. Already, and my heart is saddened by the aspect, I can see fat and greasy ladies with their hair cooked to a frazzle drawn tight upon their heads from which the perspiration pours profusely causing their sleek fat faces to sparkle in the sun. Avenue Caravan On they come wobbling to the none too martial strains like a mighty caravan of avalordupois down the avenue. Attired in gowns that were once white and once stiffly starched, but now badly soiled and clinging loosely to their copious forms, causing their most prominent proportions to stand out in bold relief. They carry parasols. 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.

Heat the crude-oil to a temperature that can be easily borne and apply it directly to the scalp with a tooth brush.

COLGATE'S SUPER SUDS Campbell's BEA Post Toasties Food Facts Food Facts BY ANN PAGE Director, A. & P. Bureau of Home Economics 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.

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.

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."

Bob was a fox terrier and was a familiar figure throughout the section in which he lived since he was a pup. Bob was a great favorite of the children of the neighborhood; and has been for a number of years.
