MOTON Social Equality And Intermarriage Makes Whites Afraid MUST BE HONEST AND FAIR TO KEEP POWER Rule Of World Does Not Depend On Color Nor Creed The white South still has its "bogey man" Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, told an audience at Utica, Miss., Tuesday. Dr. Moton was speaker at the "silent jubilee" celebration of the founders of Utica Normal and Industrial Institute, which was planted in the delta by William H. Robbielaw, disciple of the late Booker T. Washington. The white South is afraid of the Negro, some unreal relation which is described as social equality, of intermarriage. If the white race is not fair, and not, and industrial, God will take the black power. Dr. Moton emphasized, and give it to a race that knows how to be. Maybe that race will be the Negro race for the rule of the world does not depend on But it was not in his judicial concession of the relative and common position of the two races here in the courtroom, most striking and that the hearts and minds of both colored and white are touched most. That interest and tenseness came when he chose to be a judge of the Negro. As Moton described it, it was not a fear of the Negro ability, but a fear based upon the white man's idea of "social equalism" from seems intermarried of the cases. Whites Fear The white man wants to keep his blood pure, and that is all right with me because I pure myself declare that I should take when he thinks the Negro wants to mix up with him. There's been a good deal of mixing in the South already, and it has not been the case that White men can never get to understand how Negroes feel about mixing with them because of the race. Mrs. Negroes feel that to tell the white man that they don't want to intermarry with his women would also like an admission of so doing. So the Negro goes along permitting the white man to think just as he please, but hurrying in his heart and mind just as he did. The same testimony as the white man. If this far in the white man could be destroyed so that the whites and the blacks could work together and serve the people would be the dawn of a new day. "Nigger" "Darkey" Signs of progress in good race relations were also noted by Dr. Motton while he was expressing to the whites present the Negro's dislike of being a "mugger" and "darky". He not a "darky", he pointed out. "But I do not mind being called a Negro, a colored man or a black man, because I'm proud of my race, as proud of my race as you are of yours, and of these young people into the race and the future of their races."

C. — What is believed to be another attempt to get the scalp of Benjamin J. Davis, Republican national com-mittee from Georgia, developed today when at the request of Georgia senators, the Senate ordered an investigation of the alleged sale of federal offices. The resolution as originally introduced by Senators Walter P. George and William D. Democrate, of Georgia, called for an investigation in their state only, but the Senate Committee on post offices and jobs broadened the scope of the resolution to include also South Florida, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee. A committee of three Senators will be appointed by Vice-President Dawes to make the investigation of the case, so the Senate Senator Harris declared that he had reports alleging that the Georgia committee had sold offices or influencers. Friends of Davis believe that the resolution is merely an attempt to oust him from control in that state. Similar resolutions were introduced in 1971 and 1972, but at Perry Howard, but an investigation completely cleared him. In making the investigation general, the Senate, it is said, has identified the Georgia democrats by including southern states with white committees. Dr. Alexander On G. O. P. Delegation NEWARK, N.

Heflin (Dem., Ala.). Interrupted consideration of the tax reduction bill here, Saturday, long enough to remind him on these presidential candidates. The attack on Hoover was based on the recent order that Governor Smith be abolish segregation of the colored and white employees in the Census Bureau of the Commerce Department. The Alabama governor declared that Governor Smith permits in his State social equality to be practiced every night in dance halls under Tammy rule. and his own rule in the city and state of New York. He referred to the recent statements in the Manufacturers' Record printed in Baltimore, that Negro men with white dappers with Negro wc. caped Saturday night. A mob of from 200 to 300 men took Evins to the court house where the lynching took place. He had been chilled with killing John Wheeler, white, May 12th.

PASTOR UNDER SCRUTINY. The Rev. F. W. Jacobs Said To Have Riled Hooded Organization DABNEY SEES EDITOR Columbia Prize Journalist Has Interest In Race MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The F. W. Jacobs, Pastor Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, one of the most fastidious and irascible congregations in Montgomery, is under scrutiny of the Ku Klux Klan because of his open fight against Jim-crowism here, it has been learned from reliable authority. Rev. Jacobs has advised local Negro leaders to retrain from endorsing the Jim-crow white dailies unless they consent to use the titles "Mister" and "Mistress" in their columns in referring to Negroes. He also made similar statements several times in his sermons: end as a result members attended his church to report to headquarters what he was saying. Despite rumors that the Klan had planned to get him, Rev. Jacobs has not as yet been molested by klan members. Liberal Whites A few of the most liberal whites of Alabama have always opposed the lawless element the Klan led by the most liberal and the most active of these is Mr. Grover Cleveland Hall. Editor of the Montgomery Constitution 400 years ago in 1927 "for his editors against gangism, floggings and racial and religious intolerance." Of Mr. Hall's fight against the Klan element his newspaper suffered considerably from a decrease in circulation. This has been a result of the Klan's wide reference to the reaction of the Montgomery public to Mr. Hall's stand against the Klan. The Montgomery public presents the largest circulation in its history. Mr. Hall explained this increase in circulation on occasion to a large people that his view of the Klan is correct, and that his fight against lawlessness, mob rule and the Klan is the greatest interest of the city and its citizens. Industrialization Mr. Hall expressed keen interest in race relations, stating that he believed that all the difficulties between the two races will in time be adjusted. He believes that both races should be tolerant to each other their differences gradually according to the exigencies of the times. Mr. Hall does not think that the industrialization of the South, resulting in closer contacts of rural and small town workers and an increase in employment in mills and factories, will create new problems of race relations. "Social Equality" over And Smith men and also declared that it had authoritatively stated that Governor Smith's crowd had promised that if he were elected President he would put a Negro in the cabinet. "Are you willing for the party, but aAILled with the proxity as its leader to be clothed with the power of the President in the White House, who can undo all that we have done to protect the white women of the South from the lust and carnality of brutal Negroes?" Heffler said that when Smith attempts to foster racial equality on the white people in order to get the white women of the South to the lust and carnality of brutal Negroes? He again assailed Tammy Democrats in the House for supporting the Dyer Anti-Lynching proxies to pay to the family of a lynched man the sum of $10,000, a premium on rape. Hefflin also charges the Roman Catholic Church with seeking to buy Democratic nomination (10 Smith papers) they had to pay $5,000,000 for it. ```markdown ``` Miss Katherine McDonald, wealthy helfess of Los Angeles, Cal., who visi- tions the University of York to embark on the S.

RACE QUESTION BROUGHT UP AT CONFERENCE Dr. Ernest Lyon Injects Matter When Prohibition Report Is Made COLORED DELEGATES COLD TO UNION Leaders Fear Church Will Treat Group As State Has Done KANSAS CITY—The attitude of the great M. E. church to the 15th and 18th Amendment came to the surface at the M. E. General Conference here last week. Following the conference report on prohibition and the enforcement of the 18th Amendment, Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, and F. H. Butler of Delaware, wanted to know why not put in a good word for the enforcement of the two amendments which are needed to give full franchise rights to the Negro. Like A Ghost This proved a "Banquo Ghost" to the Conference, and although the chairman ruled the consideration of both with and with Amendments out of order during the prohibition question, its proponents are determined that it shall have a full hearing before the session closes. Cold To Union Another marked development at the conference is the fact that race delegates are not enthusiastic about the proposed union of Southern and Northern Methodists. Leaders say they are skeptical that what has happened in the state may happen in the church. What the conference will do is not easy to foretell, but it will be confronted with a genuine dilemma. Expert opinion suggests that the dental in the South of the franchise to competent Negro citizens, and so disturb the feelings of the Southern Methodist church, or it must speak to the sensitive sensibilities of its 300,000 members.

Thornton, all officials of the old Solvent Bank, will be held on charges of making false entrances. Attorney General McClain has indicated that he will ask the court to sentence them to the maximum of 20 years each. Compromise The disposition of the cases of Ward, Williams and Rasberry took the form of a compromise, the state's rules say, that they only be held for fratricide made of trust and at most be given sentences of 10 years. There will be no compromise, however, he stated, in the trial Monday. $300,000 Shortage The financial institutions in the country, and Fraternal Savings Bank was the largest in the history of Negro financial institutions in the country.

Shortly after that, a $1,000,000 was discovered and the State Bank examiners closed the institution.

TERMS NATURE BEST TEACHER OF BEAUTY WASHINGTON. — Nature is the best instructor in the art of beauty culture, according to Mme. T. G. Bramlette, who founded the Hawaiian System here in 1913 and has since established branches in the principal cities. The college classes quarters of the beauty school and manufacturing concern are located at 1530-1533 Seventh street, N. W. An ultra-modern hair parlor is maintained in the headquarters office. There nearly 100 persons receive scalp and hair culture daily. In addition, hundreds of others make purchases of the products sold by Mme. Bramlette's department. Commenting upon various systems used, the beauty specialist said in a recent interview: "Nature is our best instructor. Everything that man has accomplished on earth he got by studying and understanding some law of nature. Everything that man will accomplish as long as the world stands, will come only through a closer study of nature." "In my service I find that our women are suffering greatly from the effects of these different treatments, and that they are fatted. The pores of the scalp are closed in these cases. A scalp in this condition furnishes no nutrition, therefore the roots of the hair must suffer. When nature is attacked she puts on an armor of protection which results in the conditions of the scalp as just mentioned. I find that all customers suffering in this way have been employing methods of treatment which have worked against, instead of with, the laws of nature as regards the care of the scalp and hair." D. C. WIFE ASKS FOR MARRIAGE ANNULMENT Mrs. Williams Says Husband Knew He Had No Right to Marry WASHINGTON D. C. — John R. Williams, high powered salesman, 1816 S street northwest, is in the courts again. His wife, Mrs. Capitola Williams, a stenographer at Freedmen's Hospital, petitioned the District Supreme Court Tuesday to annul the marriage. In her petition she charges that Johnny is still the lawful husband of Mrs. Frances E. Williams. Fraudulent She declares that he fraudulently obtained divorce from his wife in the court of her former County, Kansas, in order to marry her. He represented to her, she says, that he was fully and legally divorced and withheld from her the information that there was residency in the courts a petition to set aside the divorce decree which had been granted him. Less than two weeks after the marriage ceremony was performed, Mrs. Capitola Williams asserts the court or, Wyandotte county, Kansas, sees her husband Johnny on September 7, 1922, making him the lawful husband of Mrs. Franees E. Williams. While she was living with Johnny, there was born to her a boy whom she named John P. Williams, Jr. He is not the old. He is in her care and custody. She has not lived with Johnny since December, 1926, but he is attempting to interfere with her duties, is harrassing her and attempting to take her away again, she alleges. He is also interfering with her in the care of their child, she claims. Through Attorney Martin J. McNamara, she asks the court to inquire into the validity of their marriage, and also asks that a restraining order be sued enjoining Johnny from interfering with her or their child.

Fla. — A battle of great significance both for southern Negroes and southern whites is on in this city between Negroes who wish to participate in the Democratic primaries and the whites who are determined to bar Negroes at all costs. The battle began when Dr. Horace D. Goode brought suit against Tom Johnson. C. J. Bell and Paul F. Riera election clerks in the Democratic primary district 324th proclaim because they refused to permit him to vote on April 10th. Attorney Backs Down Dr. Goode has engaged Attorney Fred Marsh to push his case while the three election clerks, against whom the $5,000 suit is brought, will be defended by Col. John S. Beard, a former prosecutor. It is said that a prominent Jew attorney, who consented to represent Dr. Goode, was put perplexed by public sentiment among the whites in the city against Dr. Goode and Negro participation in the Democratic primaries that he decided to attack the case and return the money that had been given him for his services. Keen Interest Keen interest is being manifested among whites and Negroes in Dr. Goode's case not only in Pensacola, but thrust out the state. The whites are rapidly setting up their machinery of defense, and are discussing the case in the press and public meetings. A few days ago, more than 40 white citizens gathered in the city hall at the call of Mayor J. Harvey Baylis "to build a defense against the Neo-go vote attack." The white press reported that the Mayor called the meeting, "acting in the capacity to offset the appearance that the Mayor has some official connection with the defense. At the meeting the Mayor announced that he called the meeting to devise means to raise funds to defend the three election clerks. PERRY HOWARD SAYS HOLLAND IS CORRECT WASHINGTON, D. C.—Perry W. Howard, Republican national committee, from Mississippi, made the following statement with reference to the testimony of Rush L. Holland, former assistant attorney general who has charge of the Hoover campaign in southern states before the Senate investigates campaign funds: "The statement of Mr. Holland is correct. The money was used for campaign purposes. Any person of campaign it is a small sum on which to run a state campaign. Furthermore, I fail to see why all this attention is given to the item from Mississippi unless it is due to the fact that the party there is in the hands of colored people LESS MONEY "We have had less money to use in this campaign in Mississippi than in 45 years. A true and correct statement is that the party in this disposition of this money by those who have any right or authority to question it. "It is passing strange that so much of $2,000 or $4,000 in Mississippi and not a word is said about $100,000 spent in other states. We now have a deficit to meet at our state headquarters of between $6,000 and $7,000. WOMAN LOSES LABOR DAMAGE SUIT IN SUPREME COURT HERE NEW ORLEANS, La. (ANP.) — Mrs. L. E.

Address INDIANA BOTANIC GARDENS DON 5, HAMMOND, IND. At the meeting held at the city hall an attempt was made to crystallize sentiment among the whites against the action of Dr. Goode by relating "the trying times that Pensacola went through 35 and 40 years ago when virtual Negro rule was in effect." Those who told the tale tried to make it appear that the city abounded in corruption under Negro rule, and that the city was saved only by the timely action of righteous whites who advocated political control. The friends of Dr. Goode seem just as determined to win their rights to participate in the Democratic primaries as the whites are to bar them from the leadership of Mr. Nathan Jones is giving all the assistance it can to Dr. Goode's case. The Voters' League is also interested in the case; and its members are interested in the case. Fortunately, the local N.A. A.C. P. is conducting a membership drive; and the interest which Negro citizens have in the primary case is being used as a basis to increase the local. Marks, Departure All of the local Negro organizations will have an opportunity to function in behalf of the political rights of the race after June 4th, at which time it is reported that an answer will be filed to Dr. Goode's charges. Dr. Goode's case is very significant in that it raises the whole question as whether Negroes can not, owing to the primaries not, only in Pensacola, but through the South. The case marks a departure of the Negro from the traditional policy of the race to vote the Republican ticket in masses. While the southern white man still clings to the traditions of the past in things political, the Negro is being always. This is healthy, and sooner or later, the white South must follow in the steps of the Negro. The Negroes of Pensacola are fighting their case with the hope and belief that they will win. WASHINGTON, D. C.—President Coolidge has refused to intervene and save Philip Jackson from the electric chair. Attorney General John S. Sargeant advised acting U. S. Attorney Leo A. Rover, Monday that the president had denied Jackson's petition for executive clemency. The condemned man had asked that his death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. The petition for executive clemency was the final move for John H. Wilson, attorney, to save his client from electrocution. Jackson is scheduled to die May 29th. He will be the first victim of the new electric chair in the district jail. The last man to pay the death penalty was Herbert Copeland. He was hanged for the murder of a Maryland constable. Since then the method of capital punishment in the United States has been changed to electrocution. Jackson was convicted on the charge of criminal assault on a white woman in the capital grounds on charges of assault and robbery. After his conviction, attorney Wilson sought a lunacy hearing for him. Justice Hoehling denied it. The case was then carried to the Court of Appeals in New York. The Courts of Appeals confirmed the decision of Justice Hoehling denying Jackson a lunacy hearing. Attorney Wilson then asked the president to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment. **Four Others** There are four other men awaiting electrocution. Three of them are white bees, the other two white bees are Nicholas Lee Eagles, Samuel Moreno and John Proctor. They were convicted for the murder of Policeman Leo W. K. Busch. The colored man is Malcome Howard was convicted for the murder of Policeman cta ioetalo of his sweetheart, Jessie Nelson. He is sentenced to die June 4th. Conviction of the four murderers Nicholas Moreno Conviction of the four murderers in the upheld by the court of appeals. Memphis Whites Now Oppose Sub-Division MEMPHIS.

"COLEY" BLEASE ON ANOTHER RAMPAGE After Howard Prexy And Hoover In Senate Monday MAKES DIXIE THREATS Could Not Make Such Speech In His State WASHINGTON. — Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, went on another rampage in the Senate last Monday. Johnson, president of Howard University and Secretary of Commerce Hoover, candidate for the Republican nomination for President. The South Carolinian was riled because of an address delivered by Dr. Johnson at the centennial conference of the American Peace Society in May 10. in his address, Dr. Johnson indicted white civilization. He declared his race was black. He accused the Soviet Russia if the white man and not deal justly with the Negro. Please read the example of Auschwitz which deported a troupe of deprived vandelie performers. He named that they were returned to the United States and danced with white girls to Melbourne. He charged that Secretary Hoover was a Negro on equal terms. He declared that Hoover would be the easiest man for the Democrats to defeat, not want the Republican party, he said, "to disgrace itself in disgrace the country by nominating any such man, whether we are not." He directed the attention of the Senate to the bill on the calendar to authorize annual appropriations for Hoover, and he asked the senate these annual appropriations although every Senator knows that they are unconstitutional, he said. He asked the senate to cut the taxpayer's money and give it to Howard University. "Here is the president of this college that you are support for, he said, to him cut the taxpayer's money, and he is follow up that (Hoover) order. He is following the example set by the country to cut over the country preaching that kind of document." He do not know what you people mean in the South, and I know what we are going to regulate it. I do not worry about it. I have seen much of it to worry about it. I If that Negro ever comes into South Carolina and makes a speech like that, he will come to me and he will never be us any more after he gets out. "But I object to the money of the people being taken to pay the expenses of their labor. I object to your taking money out of the Treasury of the United States to keep up this institution for him to run to put that kind of money in the hands of the Negroes of the country." C 10.

It looks as though the students outlived their influence upon the Carnegie perhaps march in their last Commencement procession in June. There is no indication that they are dismissed summarily. They are likely to receive the college year and then be advised "to go in peace and sin no more". Efficient Handling It appears that President Johnson is handling the matter in a calm, sagacious, and effective manner. He has a strong line of committee, reviewed in detail the signed complaints of the company, female students, and has had a good rapport with young ladies. It is also known that he has had a conference with at least one of the accused professors. He has determined the worth of any professor. In unfortunate cases like the present, he needs only to be concerned because the lecture-rooms, to inform the matter of the student body, his duty is clear. It will profit the accused nothing to run to political, fraternal, and power to force the customary entanglement of the President's procedure which the President may elect to follow. The President's honest opinion relative to their subsequent influence must decide the matter. If they have unwittingly left an insult slip from them, they must pay the penalty for such a lapse. All four of the professors might have drawn a few narratives of despair, these charges had been shot suddenly, but he has been pointed out before, the present trouble is not their first. They have figured so persistently in Campus rumors of the same nature that names are spontaneously associated with them, names of misbehaving professors. This feature is one of the most significant of the whole situation. Obviously, their conduct has been so horrific that it has differentiated them from the rest of the teaching force. Official Reprimand Of the four that are likely to depart, one has against his record an official reprimand for a similar charge. His professional life was marked by an official reprimand. He was cautioned about his subsequent attitude towards the female students and promised never to offend again. He has taken the short, short time we it has taken the reprimand to cool off, to offend again. D. C. MARRIAGES Robert Williams, 26, 1325 8th-st. n. w. Robert Williams, 26, 1325 8th-st. n. w. The Rev.

He was bristle face to face with the accusing young girl and asked her to help the young lady persisted that he was guilty and exclaimed, "You are a puppy. He accepted the appellation and was glad to creep out of his trouble. Wizzled Out Though he wigged out, his dean saw fit to take him to task. He promised to be more careful of his students, and accused by another female student. He is doubtless all prepared with another promise. It is very clear that a promising professors at Howard are the accused was known to be keeping company, last year, with a student, despite the fact that he was not a student. He was known to telephone to her to make appointments after his weary duties in the classroom were frequently college hours, in her absence. The young lady admitted to other students her part in the romance, but did not see fit to make a statement about her. She was not averse to the relationship. The fourth of the group has had a cloud of suspicion hovering over her, and she is not with Howard University. He has practiced an offensive familiarity with the female students. His condescension has caused the male students objected to the treatment which the female students received. If it becomes necessary to have a female student, the public will surely back the male students in their indignation. Made Investigation It was not until after the writer had sized up the student informer and had become impressed with the work, that he decided to make an investigation of his own and give the public information. What the writer has heard from reliable persons would fill the need for a former president of the institution, with enough left over for a refilling. The rumor has not been of the usual type, involving a number, but a number of professors, with a fifth mentioned now and then. Pitless publicity is the only scourge for the social hypocrisy. Under the circumstances, all that President Johnson can do, with propriety* is to whisper a fond farewell into the ear of each of the accused. There is no comformity that he can maintain, and the new has been dispersed throughout the land. Either the female students must leave or these professors must be exiled or ordained. Howard be exiled or ordained. Rumors of unprofessional conduct do not necessarily attach themselves to the reputations of professors. He has not been defying them, such professors should be admitted circumstances un- Ten Get Beauty Culture Diplomas WASHINGTON. — Clyde C.

Will Bewall Fate Naturally, these professors will bewail their fate and try to make people afar feel that in justice is being done them. They will not, of course, look for local confirmation of the impression which they have made on their students. Some are trying to play up fraternity politics, for at Howard professors and students belong to the same fraternities. The fraternity feeling is stronger at Howard than at any other institution in the country. Meanwhile the administration has made public the names of eight pro-education schools and a schedule of graduate retirement June. In the number are some that have grown up with the university, but never have there been the slightest blemish on their reputation. The professors to live virtually throughout the career of the university and escape the thunderbolt of calumny, the public, with the assertion that each of these eight professors is leaving as his chief contribution to Howard University a clean, sterling, and well-educated institution of emulation. If such is their contribution, after a protracted period of service, why should four or five much more than eight professors comparatively brief space of time, comparatively such ugly rumors? Grave Concern It is the irony of fate that respect for the age should legislate ably for the university's eight active professors, whereas indulgence of young age brings to the same university at least four professors who have divorced. It is a matter of grave concern if these eight professors are perchance to be replaced by the newer type that has crept into the How- It must be urged in defense of Dr. Johnson that he had nothing to do with the appointment of the accused professors. The unvaccinated university staff were unvaccinated. He does not, however, have to retain any part of his legacy that may prove to be a benevolent influence. Trained in Cabaret Howard University can well disperse the professor who has been trained in the cabaret. Professors whose taste runs to the "bump" had better seek employment more quickly. There still linger in a professorship the kind of dignity that does not trace its origin from the gutter. There is pathos in the reflection that the professor in bookish lore have not developed common sense enough to place character in the forefront. Howard University is doomed if social "toughness" is lacked by the public member of the faculty. The public will preside. President Johnson's action. D. C. "Y. W."

Washington Page Grave Concern UNVEIL MILHOLLAND BUST AT HOWARD U Man's Treatment Of Those At Disadvantage Is Real Test, Johnson Declares By WILLIAM G. BLACK WASHINGTON. — A bronze bust of the co-founder and champion of the N. A. A. C. P., John E. Millholland, white, was universitying at Rutkin Memorial Chapel, Howard University, Sunday afternoon. President Mordecki Johnson was the principal speechwriter of the philanthropist as a radical, in that he boldly defended the rights of the Negro in the face of scalding criticism from his own race. John Millholland had for two years was truly a great man. The test of a great man is determined by his treatment not to his superior, or his equals, but by his treatment, to those of his superior. Following President Johnson's speech, Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women, cited an instance when Inez Millholland, the philanthropist's daughter, wrote that women from serious enturtment on the occasion of a woman's suffrage parade by refusing to lead the procession until they had been women. The Howard University women had been stationed at the end of the parade by prejudiced officials. BUSINESS The excavations were opened by the Men's Glee Club. Immediately following, the bust was unveiled by Miss Robbie Turner, president of the Women's Glee Club, who expressed the appreciation of the women students for the brave act of Inez Millhall and praised the work of John Millhall and the Women's Glee Club. Mrs. Millhall, widow of the philanthropist, a bunch of roses as a mark of appreciation of the college women. Mrs. Robert White of New York to Washington especially to read a poem entitled "John Millhall" at the exercises. Mrs. Poster read another poem entitled "John Millhall" at the exercises. The Glee Club sang a selection which was enriched and the exercises were closed by the Rev. Pratt. School of Law. This is just one of a series being placed in the greater colored institutions of learning. On the local committee were: Mrs. Jenne R. McGuire, chairman; Mrs. Jenne R. McGuire, Mrs. Amanda Grav-Hiley, Miss Lucy D. Slowe, Neval H. Thomas, president of Washington Branch, Mrs. S. A. Douglas, judge of Municipal Court, and S. A.

Senator Ted Kennedy, Republican chairman of the committee asked him whether any effort had been made to get delegates in southern states, particularly the Republic party, there "the Republic party is largely in the hands of the Negro people." "No," replied Mr. Buck. He said that no money had been given to delegates but voters had been sent into those states although he had made one general tour through that section sometime ago. He said that he had no negotiations, direct or indirect, with Perry W. Howard, Republican national committee from Mississippi. He said that he had written to H.R. McCain, directing a reply. He also stated that he had made no effort to Georgia's delegates, but had written to Benjamin J. Davis, national chairman of that state, asking for his support. "Are you counting on delegates' support from those states?" he was asked. "Am I praying for them," he replied.

Conference In Session All Night; Delegates And Candidates Sleep In Chairs; Delegate Threatens Bishop Brooks; Stepteau Polls 22 Votes; Stewart 8; Wesley 1; Barber Passes Ballots. CHICAGO. (Special.) — Balloting for bishops at the A. M. E. General Conference began last Thursday and lasted two days and nights until it was finished. Motion to recess Friday, at 1:30 a.m., was passed, 360 to 187 but the "nces" refused to abide by the decision and staged a rush upon the platform and a filibuster which lasted until 9:30 a.m. Roll call on recess was called for but angry delegates refused to permit the secretary to read Lie Is Passed Bishop W. Sampson Brooks was in the chair, but several other bishops sought in vain for six hours to secure order in the armory. R. L. Pope, Indianapolis, who stood 25th in the race for the bishopic with 11 votes, the first of ruling arbitrarily and the word "life" was passed. Bishop Brooks, thoroughly aroused by the 15-hour session, retorted in kind and Pope started for the platform. Friends restrained him. "Let him come," said Bishop Brooks. "I come from a country where they used to eat men." Like Political Convention Scene in the armory as the delegates milled around was a combination of the Chicago wheat pit, a New Orleans Mardi Gras, and a National political convention through the alces shaking hands with friends, passing out hallots and seeking votes. Others bore placards reading, "Vote For Orrance," "Stick With Grant," "Green Will Win," "Vote For Hair, He's Fair." A South Carolina delegate, who tried to push two ballots at once, nearly mobbed. Balloons with names of certain delegates printed on them fluttered like confetti from the galleries down upon the heads of the delegates with hands cupped to their lips or with paper megaphones, moved around the armory yelling at the top of their voices the names of their favorite roles in the show, while the singing is interpreted an effort to stampede the Conference for leading candidates. Candidates Doze Notice, yelling, rapping of the chairman's gavel, monotonous sound of the tellers tallying the ballots died down as daylight came. The galleries were nearly empty of spectators, many of the delegates slipped out for a nap. Candidates themselves, never left, nor except for a bite to ear and a change of linen, on the armory, Friday morning, delegates slept in their seats, waking up to cast a ballot and going back to sleep again.

Payne Delivers Two Discourses Sunday The thirty-fifth anniversary of its establishment was celebrated at Enon Baptist with two striking sermons by the pastor, the Rev. A. J. Payne, Sunday. Sunday morning his subject was "A Prayer For The Church" and at night the pastor spoke from the subject "The Blundering Church. In the latter discourse, Rev. Payne published a reply that the church was making in its efforts to save the world because of its narrowness. Among other things he declared that the church was making the mistake of trying to keep the church on the mountain top away from the reach of the people in the valley and because of this the poor felt that the church was only for the rich Other Denominations The church is also making the blunder of opposing denominations other than the one to which certain groups belong. The church is not to oppose any other group that is following Jesus Christ regardless of their beliefs and creeds, but is to complain the words of Christ who said that those who are not against me are for me. The third blunder he emphasized was the opposition raised by the church to every movement that is started against it and the resentment of every thrust of infidels and atheists. The church must learn he is not against them, and is sometimes non-resistance and by ignoring your one is you can make them defeat themselves. S. S. Lesson Sunday, May 27th THE WICKED HUB- BANDMEN.

SAY N. Y. CABARET GIRLS LURE WHITE HUBBIES AND SONS SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1928 SAY N. N. Y. CABARET GIRLS LURE WHITE HUBBIES Nordic Women In Arms As Men And Sons Seek Diversion In Harlem Clubs ROBBED, THEY CLAIM By GEO. E. TAYLOR NEW YORK. — Claiming that nudity of entertainers in upright night resorts is robbing them of the amusement and entertainment of their husbands, white women were up in protest here, Saturday, carrying their fight to the district attorney's office. Prominent white women visited the managers of some Broadway Theaters paying them their compliments for having discarded shows in their houses because of the undue absence of their husbands and sons' usual affections. Another delegation of white women were waiting to have a talk with the district girl; in Harlem cabarets, they said they have learned their husbands and sons are spending unreasonable hours. The manager of the Galety Theatre took it as a matter of course, until Mrs. Jamett Worthham and her daughter, of 875 West End avenue, who happened to be present at the time to renew their subscriptions, overheard the protests and took a brief part. She first addressed the manager, getting her daughter by the arm, and saying to the crowd of other women inside. "You do not know what these rascals have done. They must have shown our husbands and sons the new roads uptown in Harlem to the barren where the men are still appearing in their shoes after they were chased out of Broadway. "There she is, Dorothy, who hasn't had her husband's company for nearly a week at the right time. She is my daughter and I want this thing stopped. If you people can do it. We are white women and do not want bands associating with Negro women." Mrs. Julia Pee, then stepped forward and had a word to say. She said, "I agree with Mrs. Wortham. I have the same trouble. I have taken my car and watched my husband and I am convinced. I told him if he loves colored girls so much why don't he go with them in the open and let me be." It has now become known that the theatrical managers who will not discuss the situation, are confronted with a problem as the white women are fast learning the haunts of Harlem resorts at any price where the white their husbands and sons are associating with colored girls and women. The District Attorney promised that he would have the situation looked into.

The Combi Luck Nat. Social Work Conference Fights Racial Discrimination Is Outstanding American Organization With Definite Policy Against Insults To Colored Groups Is Outstanding American Organiz- aal the State Capital where the for- tion With Definite Policy Against reception to the president of Insults To Colored Groups. In Mem- Foremost among organizations with a large national following standing out unalterably against racial discrimination is the National Conference of Social Workers, which is just closed its annual session in Memphis, Tennessee. While most of the large scientific religious and welfare bodies have wavered in their stance against discrimination, the conference has grown to 5,000 members and composed of the leading professional and social workers of this country, has adopted a definite policy, and as the meeting in Memphis shows, is blasting away long-form traditions even in the South whenever it is invited to that section. Widespread Comment Widespread comment has been caused by the recent action of the National Conference of Social Work in holding its annual conclave in the very heart of the South, and yet securing for every racial group equal privileges. This section has been contrasted with that of other national organizations, including religious bodies, which pass high-sounding and loud speeches to carry them out when they meet opposition in local communities. In Memphis—a stronghold of Southern traditions, Negro delegates were seated wherever they pleased in the Municipal auditorium, at hotels, and other meeting places. Colored members took an active part in the sessions' deliberations, shared in the breakfast, luncheon and dinner meetings, and were elected among representatives to be sent to the Inter-national Conference of Social Work to be held in Paris next month. This was accomplished by the Conference in the face of local opposition. At the 1926 sessions in Des Moines, the invitation to go to Memphis was presented. To this invitation was appended a resolution, passed by the Tennessee State Conference of Social Workers, asking that the conference in coming South should be held in conditions." The committee on time and place reported favorably on Memphis. Eugene K. Jones, the only Negro member of the executive board, opposed the Conference's being held in that city unless the restrictions were withdrawn. Eleven of the fifteen members voted with forty-five in favor of the report of the time and place committee to the floor of the convention for the first time in its fifty-three years' history. For three days the question was the most important one at the Des Moines Conference. Many of the most outstanding social workers in the city may have worked with Mergt Mowell declared that they would never vote to go to any Southern city under the conditions set forth in the resolution. After an interchange of nearly seventy dollars worth of telegrams the Memphis Chamber of Commerce agreed to withdraw the resolutions and wound up equal-treatment for Negro delegates. Minor Exceptions With minor exceptions, Memphis kept its promise. These exceptions are interesting. In the official programs of the conference, an eighty page booklet was issued. Colored committees appeared in true Southern fashion without the Mr. Mrs. or Miss. The attention of one of the sessions at the Conference was called to this insult by Bruno Lacker, white editor of the INQUIRY, of New York. The programs were preruned by Boo Boo Guttee. Association **CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION** The most outstanding case of prejudice against one affiliated organization, the Young Women's CHRISTIAN Association. The Memphis branch advertised a dinner to be held for the visiting Y. W. C. A. workers. An invitation was sent to and accepted by Miss Eva D. Bowles, inter-national secretary, when the beacon committee, that Miss Bowles colored the conference officials, were informed that no colored women could attend. Immediately the Y. W. C. A. group of white women tersely informed the local committee that if Miss Bowles could not attend, the dinner could be called off, as far as they were concerned. The result was that a meeting to take the place of the Y. W. C. A. workers assembled, the gathering taking the form of a meeting of protest against the insult offered Miss Bowles. Negro delegates were not seated where they chose without some opposition. On the first evening the head of the ushers, who incidently were Boy Scouts, asked Conference officials where he should seat colored delegates. He informed that they should be seated wherever they desired to sit without discrimination or segregation either in the balcony or on the main floor. The second night the leader informed Conference officials that his ushers objected to this arrangement. He was informed that the Conference in that case would do without ushers. The session for the five evenings were held without ushers, but also without segregation. Operate Receptions At the Des Moines conference Negro delegates entered freely into the social events, both informal and formal, danced at the leading hotels and SOCIETY Mrs. Ida Dewey, of Corona, Long Island, N.

In Memphis the local committee arranged for a separate reception for the colored president's reception. This colored reception, however, became inter-racial when a score of the white delegates, resenting the discrimination against the Negroes, bolted the white reception and attended the reception given by the president of the city, just off the famous Beale street. These white delegates included the president and secretary of the Conference and other outstanding social members only with members of their own party, but with the Negroes present—and this in Memphis! 50 Delegates Eugene K. Jones, national secretary of the Urban League, and Jesse O. Thomas, Southern Field Secretary of the same organization, were elected to represent the National Conference of Social Workers at the Inter-National Conference of Social Work, to be held in Paris beginning on the 15th of June, 2001, where the ten picked by the executive committee, itself, prior to the time of the meeting of the Conference. Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Thomas are members of important committees of the conference. Others whose names are found on the committees include Charles S. Johnson, editor of Opporent, and the Urban League director of a Minneapolis settlement house, members of the Committee on Immigration, and R. Maurice Moss, a member of the Committee on Neighborhood and Community Life. There were more than fifty Negro delegates at this year's Conference, about fifteen of whom were local people, and eleven of whom are co-ordinators of the Urban League of its branches. The entire graduating class from the Atlanta School of Social Work, which is headed by Forrester B. Washington, was present at the Conference and had a very interesting and largely attended meeting. Three of the Conference sessions were devoted exclusively to the discussion of Negro problems in the problem of case workers with colored families and the third on the effect of the changing industrial situation on the Negro. The Conference will meet next year in San Francisco, California. Charge Police With Murder LOUISVILLE, KY—R. C.

McLean to pardon Mansel Mqnday. Mansel was convicted in trial at Asheville and sentenced to die. The governor commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. Mansel Mansel will argue and present evidence to show that Mansel was not guilty of the crime.

BIBLE THOT TODAY TE HUBI CUSSING APLENTY AT ELECTION OF BISHOPS Returning Pastors Give Local Conference Briefs From Chicago Meet STEPTEAU VS. DAVIS gates Against Waters Pastor There was so much cussing and swearing during the balloting at General Conference that it was thought that God had nothing to do with the church, the Revs. O. J. Hayman and J. R. Nelson, told the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting upon their return from Chicago, Monday. In giving echoes of the great meet the ministers declared that the Rev M. H. Davis polled the highest number of votes in the history of the conference. Out of 800 votes cast he received 580. Pandemonium reigned throughout the armory when the announcement was made that the Rev. Davis had been elected. Ministers and bishops themselves rushed down from the rostrum and literally swept him off his feet. Rev. Davis became so excellent that he failed. The Rev. Harold Stepteau sensing his own defeat, started an active campaign for the Rev. J. C. Caldwell, in an effort to offset the impending victory of the Rev. Davis, they declared. According to the ministers Bishop John Hurst had threatened the delegates from South Carolina and Florida if they voted for the Rev. Davis, and then stood in message of the right-wing limit which would remove Bishop Hurst from that jurisdiction this year and that section went solidly for Rev. Davis. Bishop Johnson Great Figure The Bishop J. Albert Johnson was the only person among the presiding bishops who could command the crowd with a single motion for silence. During the entire services the Rev. W. H. Coston stood guard over the bishop with an uplifted chair to protect him. The Rev. Mr. Coston had been dismissed from the conference by this same bishop, some time ago. The Rev. W. H. Manokoo has been transferred to the New York Conference. The Bishops K. C. Ransom or J. A. Gregg will probably preside over the Baltimore Conference, the ministers said. THE AFRO CARRIER MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY "—Eugene Gordon, 1927 Survey.

Hill, pastor of Roanoke Baptist Church, of Hot Springs, Ark., preached the anniversary celebration in honor of the Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor. He expressed himself in total disagreement with Mencken's appraisal of the ministry and Darrow's agnostic views and advice given to members of the race. He also censured the growing tendency of young writers of the group to express themselves in derogatory fashion about religious worship and urged professional and business people of the community to take a more active interest in the church affair. **Gold Collection** Headed by a citizens' committee which included prominent New Yorkers the financial contributions were taken in gold.

Robert Rodgers Says He was Made Prophet By An Angel Named Douglass Warns of Comet That Will Cause Arctic To Blossom NEW YORK. — Robert Rodgrew a labour in a Perth Amboy wire mill, is the founder of the new religion of Athleianism and the lone prophet of the faith which is to deliver Ethiopia from its present state and redeem the race. The name Athlyi was bestowed upon Rodgers in a dream by two angels, according to his explanation, and he was given a gown of four colors and inspired him to write the holy Pibi. Strange Commandments Rodgers holds his services in the House of Gathry, the temple furnished to front in Newark. Among other things, the following commandments and sayings contained in the Piba are the following: 1. Adam and Eve were of a "mixed complexion." 2. Elijah, the Hebrew prophet, was Gathry to visit the earth in the body of a dead man. 3. Jesus was a 'Prince of the Kingdom of God' but 'Christianity is a religion for slaves. The lives of Negroes must be saved before their souls. 4. 'Be thou clean and pleasant' is the Fifth Commandment. 5. The seventh Commandment reads: 'Let no people take away that which is yours for the Lord shall inquire of it and if you say some one hath taken it, we shall in no wise escape punishment.' **Comet Coming** Rodgers declares that a comet called Satter will pass within two miles of the earth and the arctic wastes to blossom into gardens and it will be possible for people on earth to see a rooster treading the moon.

As a result of the flood, Hoover would be farther in adjusting economic conditions to the greater benefit of the masses, and this would include our group to a large extent. On the other hand the election of Smith would completely regenerate the Democratic party politically and especially in the South. He would open the way for that growing group of white and colored liberals in the South to fringe from the yoke of traditional party slavery.

It is too early to know or know about by some whether it will be a problem deep and radic in miss seeing. There are many very evident indications that the cold South is about to undergo some marked internal changes. It is too early yet to be definite in the prediction or know whether the change is to come by some kind of spontaneous combustion or whether it will be what biologists call "reproduction by fission," but that there is a wideread and deepseated movement towards ground and radical changes, no careful observer. From the time that Robert E. Lee surrendered his sword to Grant and the Confederate aristocracy had to face a new economic prospect of increased physical and mental energy, that section below the Mason and Dixon Line has been bound together by common ties of suilen stubbornness. They have had to lag behind a moving world civilization because they have had to devote the major part of their energy to needlessly holding down former slaves. All of their religion, philosophy, poetry, and even cold science and industry, have had to be warped by a narrow conceptual concept and fear moulded in their racial concerns. With thousands of good funerals helping remove the leadership which lived in the past of feudal overlordship, it was perfectly clear that the younger generation taking their ages would have more and a broader outskirts and the result is being seen in many deep-seated cases. A few weeks ago Memphis, Tennessee, for instance, tried to demonstrate to the world that at southern metropolis was broadening by becoming the National Conference On Social work with its known policy against racial discrimination. Just last week the Southern Baptist Convention threatened to bolt the Democratic party the prohibition question. Ten years ago no residential candidate did any calculating with reference to the far South, and no pill was tooilling for the South to swallow in the name the Democratic party. Whether the cause be political or social, the calculation with the consequent integration of many of its hide bound tractions will be one of the best things for that action, for humanity and for the world.

If becoming truly great is a riddle to any young man or woman, let him or her ponder the life of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, Japanese scientist, whose death was reported by cable Monday from the Gold Coast of Africa. Dr. Noguchi was a colored man as racialferences goes, and to this extent his life is mirrored against the usual handicaps in which colored men live in white world. But to Noguchi, nurried by that racial tradition of Japan which makes her sons and daughters decease 80 per cent of their energy to the colleague racial destiny, there was no insurmountable handicap, and he will go down in history one of the greatest bacteriologists the world ever known.

Noguchi was an African as racial difference goes, and to this extent his life must be mirrored against the usual handicaps with which colored men must win their race of achievement in a white world. But to Noguchi, nurtured by that racial tradition of Japan which makes her sons and daughters devote 90 per cent of their energy to the collective racial destiny, there was no insurmountable handicap, and he will go down in history as the greatest bacteriologists the world has ever known. Noguchi died in Africa, like a soldier fighting in the line trench against the yellow fever germ, one of the deadliest foes the human race has yet to conquer. Strangely enough he went there to accomplish what several white scientists from the Rockefeller Institute had failed to do and what no man of African descent has attempted. He went, knowing as no one has attempted, that he might never return alive. Born in Japan, with a career stretching across several continents and having contacts with humble hovels and palaces of kings, he was still a humble scientist willing to shut himself up alone for weeks and years for humanity's sake and for Japan. He was a pioneer in Japan for that Japan, that he became the great scientist that he was, for pitted against an envious white civilization that little country has had to fight its way to the top not only by shot and shell, but in the realms of science and industry, Japanese mothers have breathed into the very blood of their offspring that spirit of unified nationalism which has been the motivating force stimulating their marvelous development during the last 75 years. He also was also that the Rockefeller Institute sees as a demonstration for brushing aside whatever color prejudice it had to meet to give Noguchi the chance to add his genius to its halls of fame. For although many of the great research institutions, like Johns Hopkins for instance, still bar such contributions as the American Negro might make in the field of creative science, they welcome youth from Japan and other colored Leaders who claim the responsibility of fashioning the destiny of our group in this country, might well study the factors, which have elevated this little Japanese race of men, who have won their place in the sun notwithstanding racial prejudice.

The reason why you do not believe in the existence of God in his own cognition and administration of Negro affairs is that you cannot comprehend them. You have not enough faith in God to believe that he is able to maintain the knowledge of Negro affairs, this interest in the subject, and the disposition to mould them to devious issues. I do not know how these people who do not believe in the intimate special promise of God can believe how God could lead a drown trodden race from slavery to light and freedom, but I cannot conceive how he could make a honey bee with an instinct—transmitted since the creation from the earth in membership to a common wealth, and enables it to build its waxen cells with mathematical exactness, and gather honey from all the bees in its possession, shows us life in myriad forms, each of which exhibits design; when we contemplate vegetable life in its wonderful detail; when chemistry tells us something of the marvellous processes by which bees produce honey, impressed with the power and skill of the creator than we do when we turn the telescope towards the moon, impressed with the planes the setting of the sun or the blue bees left free to live in their rightful world or blue sky and green trees.

Yet Mr. Darrow would have us believe that the Being who saw fit to make all these little things, to arrange and throw into relation all things that would help to maintain the plumage of a bird, and the back of a fly, paints the drapery of the descending sun, does not condescend to take a practical interest in the affairs of colored men and women.

To the Editor: I make the following statement for the benefit of all concerned: Ministers' Meetings and Their Objects It has been well said by the New Directory for Baptist Churches by Edward T. Hiscox, D. D. that in nearly all compact communities and in many rural and urban hoods, Baptist Pastors form associations for mutual intercourses and improvements called minister's meeting, pastor's conference or other similar meetings. They have a simple constitution and by-laws and constitute an independent society for the purpose set forth. They have no organic connection with the churches and possess no ecclesiastical charisma. They are not on assignments on assigned plans of sermons presented, sermons preached for criticism and discussions held on subjects germane to ministerial culture and service. I said monthly, said he, or in larger communities, weekly. The following are those who constitute this body: They are composed mostly of pastors, but in some cases, ministers without a charge and even deacons are admitted. According to the ordinance, pastors can interfere with the churches and no action can they take with any pastor who is a member, that can affect that pastor's relation to his church. They have the right to admit, disband, or otherwise interfere with the relations of various pastors sustain outside the conference itself. I wish to say therefore, that it is always unfortunate to hear any brethren discussing from time to time, the internal workings of the church, that you may read this book for further information.

As soon as we get to the place to admit the deacons of our church to membership in our meetings, so soon will be of our trust cease for he will be in a position to know and be sharing on at all times with all of our groups. I'm assured that no ministers have any secrets that he cares to keep from the good deacons of the church. Your truly. JUNIUS GRAY.

Recent events make this so: the death of a student on current questions, his approach to local problems, the athletic controversy of last fall, the "expose" through the student paper—the Huffington Post the completion of a building.

The country is again looking at Howard University. Recent events make this so the emphasis on the university's current questions, his approach to local problems, the athletic controversy of last fall, the need for a new medical building, the Top—and the completion of the new medical building.

The election of Mordecki Johnson to the presidency of Howard University stands out among the chief miracles of 1926. Only one of two types of men could have been elected, the president of the National Political or a dumb weakling. But the impossible happened and neither of these types was chosen. The president of the National Political was a commander—a man of and for the people. In addition he is intelligent and independent. Emmett Scott and Johnson constitute a most unfortunate pairing. Scott is primarily interested in things. Johnson in principles; Emmett in practice. Scott learned the first trick in the game nor has he tried; Scott has spent his reshest and impressionable years in the Tuskegee atmosphere, Johnson, with Rauschebusch and his disciples, learning lesser spirits to kick their vanities and compromise with their cruel cruel practices. Class To Itself Howard University, in the role of a Government ment school for the race, is in a class all to itself. The southern race state schools are, in certain cases, the most diverse institutions among Negroes and the common rebellious attitude of the white South. Too often are these schools planned to perpetuate the prejudice of the white men in the safe men interested mainly in saving their personal necks by sustaining and improving their "earned" good standing. In turn the school centers around them. In them are desi- tions of the black people known to South Carolina State Schools for Negroes and its head recently demonstrated the awful position of a monster like Senator Blease. Howard University has opportunities for the development of men and job Negroes. Its president can discuss dangerous subjects and still own his neck and his job. Teachers can be independent at Howard. They are also independent at Howard. They are independent at Howard. Its president is foreign in the field of politics; but in education it is the first and the last. Another evident or not the presence of two vastly different types of men in leading positions at Howard will increasingly prove to be a serious tension point. The faculty itself is shot with the same situation, differing violence on such as high standards (academic) for athletes.

Whether evident or not the presence of two vastly different types of men in leading positions at Howard will increasingly prove to be a serious tension point. The faculty itself is shot through with the same situation, differing violence on such men as high standards (academic) colleagues. Athletic Controversy The athletic controversy is another tension point at Howard. President Johnson's declaration on the problem is brave and original. And the president has have complained something original and helpful to school athletics throughout the country. The American people are much like children. They are not afraid to play with them. In "anateur athletics" this is especially true. Yet the "loyal" alumnus remarks, "Johnson is trying to do something that is not done in any white school in the country. He is not afraid to play with them." Come to school says he to develop yourself for usefulness and not primarily to butt your heads against hard men, run up and down the field and play with them. Go out on the field of life to find that you cannot really compete. Play because you want to, not because you are paid. Play for the joy of play and victory. The charge against the president is that "he is not practical—he is an idealist." The athletic controversy is another tension point at Howard. President Johnson's declaration on the problem is brave and original. And the problem is something original and helpful to school athletics throughout the country. The American people are much like children. The American people are much like children. With them, in "amateur athletics" this is especially true. Yet the "loyal" alumnus remarks, "Johnson is trying to do something that is not done in any white school in the country. He is trying to do something that is not done in school he says he to develop yourself for usefulness and not primarily to butt your heads against hard men, run up and down the field to get out on the field of life to find that you cannot really compete. Play because you want to not, because you are paid. Play for the joy of play. Play for the victory. The charge against the president is that "he is not practical—he is an idealist." Fraternities A few factors make the Howard problem more difficult. The two thousand students do not represent that many personalities. Often the internship desire holds the majority of its members because the firm idealism of adolescent students is frozen or crushed by older students. The history of the University that the whole student body was stirred to frenzy before knowing anything at all about the issues involved. Faculty members have not been free from an unfair use of close contacts to students, and have little passions and make them (students) do what they were afraid to do—even at free Howard. A few factors make the Howard problem more difficult. The two thousand students do not represent that many personalities. Often they are members and aspirants will act. The fine, idealism of adolescent students is frozen or crushed by older students. The history of the University that the whole student body was stirred to frenzy before knowing anything at all about the issues involved. Faculty members have not been free from an unfair use of close contacts to pass on to students their own little passions and interests. That they were afraid to do—even at free Howard. Military Training Three years ago the students struck at Howard because of compulsory military training. A few months ago Mordecal Johnson proposed to the faculty to justify the priority of the faculty claimed Johnson's proposal to be impracticable: they defeated it. Almost many of the same faculty members opposed compulsory training and backed the students in their uprising. Now they are saying that Johnson's proposal is not charged with policing, lying, and under-hand schemes: Johnson is charged with being true and too idealistic. This class of teachers ought not be taken seriously. It is a pity that circling would make it so that they can still stand in the way of men and women so badly needed in Negro schools. "Expose" The significant thing about the "expose" of moral conditions at Howard and additional rumors is that the scandal included such a limited number of people, and those attempting to make the most of the ugly affair might well 'yield to a thorough investigation. Likewise others who have been "shocker" in the several parts of the country. Seven of them have been so limited in no few religious schools, to say nothing of numbers of state schools. Crooked officials must be exposed. Howard's included; but it is interesting that enemies of the institution have a time like this to find so little to gossip about. Watchful Waiting The watchful waiting attitude of alumni and friends of Howard University is itself a hindrance to progress. "What do you think of our new president, William H. Johnson, a year in to do?" How's the trouble coming? I don't know. I am just looking now to see what they are going to do." Real alumni and friends enter into the very fight itself, helping to make the university a more dens. Durkee's refusal to allow that cooperation has caused many contests. If the contestants meant business they will take advantage of the present opportunity to help make Howard by增加 leadership. It has been done at other institutions. One of the few fresh original voices in America today is Mordecai Johnson. Howard has a degree in education and is a Negro schools. And the question is will the people with him create an institution for the making of men or a playhouse for politicians and a battle ground for little men. The watchful waiting attitude of alumni and friends of Howard University is itself a hindrance to progress. "What do you think of our new president?" "Well, I will give him a year to work," he said. "I don't know, I am just looking now to see what they are going to do." Real alumni and friends enter into the very fight itself, helping to make plans, solve problems and carry burdens. Howard has caused cooperation has caused many contests. If the students meant business they will take advantage of the present opportunity to help make Howard by assisting its leadership. It has been done at other institutions. Of course fresh original voices in America today is Mordecai Johnson. Howard has a progressive, earnest president—a rare fact in Negro schools. And the question is will the people with him create an institution for the making of men of honor for politicians and a battle ground for little men.

QUIZZ Christianity Has A Lesson (The Kansas City Call) Kansas City is not ready to be the host of Methodism. Its thinking and its custom have made it contemptuous of people who are not white, and therefore it cannot be cordial in its welcome to the polyglot group who have come to the general conference. Now it hears Chinese, Hindus, Negroes and other colored people extolled by white men whose opinions it respects. It sees these dark people talking, conferring, even eating with those whom it accepts. We suspect Kansas City is puzzled. In time we look for our city to learn that its prejudice is not a feeling held universally. The Call is an incorrigible optimist. We believe race relations will improve until ultimately friction between blacks and whites will vanish. Other hates have faded. Religion, long the call to battle among the different sects, each of which claimed to be true followers of the Prince of Peace, breaks out now and then in a mild rash like the Klan, but no longer is virulent and deadly. Boundaries have ceased to be battle lines. Even capital and labor have found common interests better served by peaceful relations. Respect between races is sure to come. Tolerance, first resting on the shoulders of the liberal minority, expressing their high soul, becomes the policy of the people, because it pays The Call is optimistic, because history shows Truth moving on! Petty men rear their puny barriers but time grinds them level and makes way for liberty. Abolition of human slavery, once the cry of a Lovejoy, a Garrison, a John Brown, became the policy of a political party, and the call to arms of a nation. It is not on the good intent of the majority we base our optimism, but on the supremacy, the absoluteness of right and our conviction that race hate like racism is not a moral problem. The Methodists as guests of Kansas City hesitated between two opinions. Their past proves they would have all their general conference deliverance hand, they are guests, and to a degree are subject to the conditions the host makes. Within their organization they have kept the faith. Kanter's success as a result, a lesson it needs to learn. THE AFRO CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY."--Eugene Gordon. 1927 Survey. Saturday, May 26, 1928 Heard And Seen In Baltimore By RALPH MATTHEWS A man suing for divorce in Los Angeles, declares his wife put him out and he could not get along with her, but he must have married to the rule most husbands cannot get along with their mother-in-law. If the situation this man finds himself in becomes general, it won't be long before young men who go to work with his mother or girls mother than they do to the girl. It is just as important for a prospective bridegroom to know whether or not her mother is a good housewife, and to know his fiancée has pretty eyes. Beauty is only skin deep and if the girl's family plays such an important part in marital bliss, we will soon learn that only skin deep. There really isn't much use getting married nowadays, if a young man doesn't like his wife's folks. Either he doesn't like her, or she will come live with him. One Baltimore man tried to keep his wife's people away by renting an apartment with only one bed. It didn't work because he had to sleep As soon as the daughter hooks a man who makes good money her old man has a nervous breakdown and quits work. When a minister asked a bride the other day if she would take this man to be her lawful husband, her wife family answered, "I will" in homes. The only way a man can play safe is to marry a girl in an orphan asylum. Of all invasions are alight in their place but they never want to stay there. It might tough when a young couple waste several years making love like their parents love like each other. Parents make it very pleasant for a young man as long as he is calling on their daughter, but as soon as the wedding is over they change the date. Since companionate marriage has been invented a man can stay with his folks and a girl can stay with hers. This arrangement is satisfactory every time. Families that have been warm friends for many generations fall out the minute two of the younger ones get married. Both think they get married. The deal and both are generally right. When a child, born both families claim that he inherited all his good traits from their side and all his bad traits from their side and both are generally right. At every wedding the opposing mother-in-laws try to outweep each other. The fathers sympathize with each other because they realize what a rotten break both of their children When two families start talking about teach other they work on the principle that one good knuckle deception is needed. When the minister asks the bride if she will obey her husband she says yes just to keep from making a scene. A push comes to a shove her follower gets on her side and help her push. Some wives don't worry about their husband's sneaking out while they are away. They leave him to watch the children and tell the children to watch him.

Taught him to trust before the set of sun: If Truth I've shown to one whose eyes were blind; For evil given, sent him naught but good; If I have watched each moment at my heart. And bid the unkind, sin-filled thoughts deart; Then I, indeed, can "lay me down to sleep." Do You Know? How The Milk Supply Is Carried To The Cities? Today American cities, except the very largest, receive fully 90 per cent of their milk by motor truck. About 70 per cent of the milk within the 0-29 mile zone, 27 per cent 30-49 miles, 7 per cent travel routes 50 miles or longer. Rates are higher than charged by the railroads, but this is compensated for by eliminative the city terminal transportation costs and saving the producer time to the rural railroad to the rural railroad station. In the Detroit district, about 75 tank-trucks are engaged in transporting milk in the country to the city dairy. DAY BY DAY BY WILLIAM N. JONES "I always end up," writes a reader of this paper, "by turning to the spiritual food and optimism on life. "I have never played any of the major games and I have been an athlete; besides I am well past my prime. I have a practical interest in sports from the personal angle. But after I have read through the crime news, tried to get some inspiration from the achievement and sooth my conscience by reading the church news, I turn for real inspiration to the sport. I have played the most fair play, genuine brotherhood and good will." Big Bill Gibson, sports writer on the AFRO-AMERICAN, informs me of the decade, sections of even the most conservative papers have outgrown in reader interest all other elements of the modern newspaper. What newspaper men call "reader interest," is an excellent measurement of progress, for instance of this week's paper, including what is happening in politics, on the stage, in the churches, in society, in thearts of trade and in the sport- In none of these departments do you find the high idealism of human conduct that you find on the sport pages. Out in Chicago, you find the high idealism of conference conferences in session, men are in the same kind of contest, in their place for place, fame and money, as the baseball player on the diamond. DO YOU DO THEY PLAY THE GAME BY THE SAME RIGID RULES OF CONDUCT AS YOU FIND ON THE DIAMOND? Race Men Who Have Served In U. S. Congress 1 Jefferson F. Long, the first race man in the House, was seated on Macon, Georgia March 4, 1871, and was seated on the Union in 1870. He took his seat January 18, 1871 and served until March 4, 1871. Joseph H.

He served from March 4, 1899, to March 3, 1899. George M. White, the last race man in the race, was the first to be appointed to the Fifty- fifth and Fifty- sixth Congresses and to the administration of McKenzie and Roosevelt again two years later. His term expired. (By EVA E. BUCKNER for A. N. P. There are little lives in moulding, Like the tender buds of Spring: Theer are little lives unfolding.

Reading Church And Sport News Baby Contest "Africans have much in common with us as wit and wisdom expressed in their language," the time for us to get away from the nation they are in an interior and barbaric area. In more than one sense, we Americans are civilized and more barbaric than they. C. J. BENDER AFRICAN PROVERB THIS WEEK A single lie will kill a thousand truths. From A White Man's Viewpoint Some time ago we talked about how the Negro has been deceived by the part that the Republican party is supposed to have played in his emancipation. We showed in both of the preceding articles in what ways economic conditions have caused and changed attitudes toward the Negro—as well as the North. Again we shall show in the actual life of today these economic facts still play their conspicuous and important part. Whole peoples are condemned by the prejudice of superiority. The need to be as to be almost meanless. Man adapts himself to his environment by changing it within the means of his environment. Man develops one kind of skill, in another environment he develops a different kind. The white man is a slave, the black man of western commerce and industrialism because the environment furnished him with both opportunity and hardships. The wastes of Siberia these things would not have been achieved by him. After achievements in one environment, he must adapt to the invention of certain tools and the mastery of certain technique. Man can apply these achievements to another environment with great advantage. Despite the importance of these facts, the prejudice of superiors makes out of color white. She is supposed to symbolize purity and beauty, a black one villainy and baseness. This is all an attempt to defuse a ruling group, its color white. It is no ruling group to justify this position reasoning is not used. Let us take Russia since the time of the revolution of arctic Russia there is no prejudice against the Negro. Why? Because Russia is opposed to the very color of color or race-prejudice, and is accompanied with an unfavorable prejudice, he is invited flattered, pampered. With Russian girls, for instance, the Negro is more popular than the white, and this was one of the most interesting experiences I witnessed. In narthes the white man were often snubbed in favor of a proud, good teacher, of the fact that the father of her baby was a Negro. Thus we see that it is not natural antagonism but social and economic prejudice and stupidity. Pink Teas (Philadelphia Tribune) There is a New Negro—he says so. He is the knight of the tea table. He is happy when comfortably reclining among silken cushions, music and philosophy with the appearance of great learning. And the race question—he knows the answer very angle. He is a man of strength. His muscles are flabby and he never thinks of anything more substantial than layer cake. I one of his more crude brothers should make the mistake of wearing his lips curl in the direction of the smoke from his highly perfumed cigarette. The hard practical things of the pink teas. He criticizes the great mass of workers for being illiterate and unlearned. speaks as one with authority, while drinking from a cup of political achievement. As a matter of fact he knows nothing about business and precious little about politics. While drinking from a cup of political achievement speaks a language different from that great army of Negro builders. His energies are all spent in talking pure nonsense to novel writers and those who This "superior" being calls himself the "New Negro." He admits that until he came upon the scene, were coolish and not ambitious, not pure bumble this stare lizard's attitude takes the prize. Hitting at the race problem at long range means nothing, but calls for work to do alone. And the will to it put over. Men and women with trained minds are needed, but they might get down among the people on the plane. A trained mind accomplishes nothing unless it is put to more useful service than the proper manner of drinking tea. He can serve it. He can serve something which will contribute to the general welfare of his people. Men can not lie by bread alone neither will they discuss issues take the place of the sublimal and fundamental things of life. saturday.

Page Eight 900 GREET HOWARD GLEE CLUB RECITAL Thirty Numbers Listed On Supported locally by a list of 250 patrons, and sponsored by the graduate chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Howard University Glee Club gave Baltimoreans another recital of distinction Thursday evening at Douglass High School. The 24 male singers were greeted by an audience est.nated at 900. Generous in its offering, the club was heard in 31 numbers. 30 of them were programmed to spin spins, while the selections, however, premitted the concert to be finished in two hours, including two intermissions. Tibbs Directs With Prof. Roy W. Tibbs, conducting in his almost informal, yet compelling manner, and with Harry Smith, Baltimore pulitzer, as the accompanist, the organization was repeatedly greeted by sustained applause. In addition to bringing the two soloists of last year's recital, Barrington Guy and Lester Dorssey, here on tour, for the Howell and John Macklin, tenor, who gave good account of himself, Singing Hawley's "A Question" and "Were I A Star" as solos, he was well received, and more, he impressed his audience "The Bells of Hawley", with the support of the chorus. Guy And Dorsey Triumph Greeted warmly last year, Dorsey scored heavily in his first two solos. Taylor's "A May Day Carol" and "Come To The Garden, Love," by Salter. The vociferous reception forced him to repeat the latter. The young barytone, whose work is marked by simplicity of the instrument commanded his heart in the spiritual without accompaniment. He was supported by Harry Gil-Smythe at the piano in "I've Been In The Storm So Long." The young artist is considerably improved since his appearance here last season. Barrington was remembered for his singing of Schubert's "The Erl's Again" year in the German, was again effective in that number and sang Mana-Zucca's "Michavo" as an encore. The dramatic barytone opened his group with "Im Herbst" by Pranz and followed with Sindling's "Svelim." Accompaniment for the solists was provided by Prof Tibbs. In the numbers by the glee club, Burleigh, who dedicated his "Just You" to the organization, was represented by four compositions. "He Met Her In The Meadow" with pastoral comic theme, elitated a few audible from an otherwise respected audience. Other songs which met a ready response in the audience were "Fireflies", a Russian folk song; Logan's "Pale Moon", Jacobsen's "Keep A-Goin", and Vittoria's "Ave Maria". Mr. Smith who has been with the club on its tour of the East, was brilliant in Chopin's "Bercusa" and "Scherzo" by Bowen. Heard last year under auspices of the Federation of Parent-Tracher Credits this season for bringing the sinning organization here to the Epision Sigma Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta.

Needed To Wipe in Family's Name "Distinguished Artist's Woolcott Says NEW YORK. — The determination to wipe out a blot placed upon the family name because of an envious rival of his father, was largely responsible for the success of Paul Robeson as athlete, singer and actor, declares Alexander Woolcott, white, writing in the Sunday New York World. Robeson is in London now, singing a role in "Showboat". He is being accorded the same enthusiastic reception given him in his former work as a singer and as a dramatic actor. **Accuse Father** Explaining the force, which he says impelled Mr. Robeson, Woolcott writes: "A recent visit to the old town of memory Mr. N. J., brought back out of memory the tale of some ructions and a heartache which darkened for a little time one corner of its life a quarter of a century ago. The preacher in the Negro church there was accused of mischief of the girls in his congregation and was obliged to take this, to reform his habit." "Years later, they tell me, a divinity student, who had helped to bring the accusation, confessed that it had been an invention fabriqué by some one who wanted to occupy that pulpit himself. Anway, the outfit of town, instead of skulking out of town, hired him an ashthe, bought him a lawnmower and, with these implements for a new career, stayed right in the community where he had been the leader. The man has an especial polygamy for any one he looks at, the moment to looking about him for a second-hand ashthe in good condition. "One of the ousted preacher's sons was so small a pickinanny at the time that, far from feeling the family disgrace, he probably thought father's new location was another industrial and dismimished than the old. But as he grew older and lengthened out, he was taught to believe that it was up to him to wine the blot from the family escutcheon. "The father lived to see this son of his an undergraduate at Rutgers an All-America football team and a member of Pike Beta Kappa. The son's name, of course, was Paul Roberson." Should Cut "Showboat" Singing at the Drury Lane in "Showboat," and hailed by all the critics as the outstanding hit. one English writer suggests he spent hours cut from the production and then to singing of spirituals by Robeson.

The two obvious reasons for this power being held at present in several of the big Eastern and Middle Western Negro from the South to the industrial centers of the North and the fact that the more the Negro becomes educated, the more independent in thought the race becomes in politics. For more than fifty years the Republican Party has had a decided advantage in the National elections in the big Eastern and Western States which were normally Republican in the National election. The state of affairs has been very much changed by reason of the exodus of the Negro from the South, and the liberal attitude shown by the states when the Negro from Dixie has been taught was the worse enemy of the race. Negroes have held and are holding some very outspoken Democrats in the East and Middle West. The line of demarcation has been drawn for the coming election. With the Anti-Saion League backing who is running for the party and the Democratic vote, and a large percentage of the colored voters and liberals backing Governor Romney, the party has have the nomination by this party sewed up, the fight will be hot. Talk with any Negro of intelligence and ask why he prefers Smith to any nominate and you will be told that the reason is that "Democrats of the North in the past ten years have done more admonition than the Republican party did in sixty years.

He came from the house and placed it in the back yard. Some time during the night the furniture disappeared mysteriously; and the identity of the person who placed it held Mrs. Chandler that he had occupied the house for six months. MYSTERY MAN THEORY IN ARSON DOUBTED Story Of Unknown Culprit Does Not Change Jury; Man Found Guilty After deliberating half an hour, a jury in Criminal Court found Abraham Epps, 1315 Etting guilty of arson, Tuesday. Testimony for the state showed that the man was a lawyer with Mrs. Mary Strowder at the Etting street home, was seen going into the house shortly before five of the six children were killed. He was arrested a short distance from the scene of the fire in company with Mrs. Strowder. When an officer was in position, fession stating that he had set fire to the house to get insurance on the furniture, as the woman had been sick and was in bed at the circus, he was arrested by the police station. Mrs. Strowder had the insurance policies on her person. in prison. It was branded by the defense that another man, who was very friendly, with Mrs. Strowder, had been seen by persons in the neighborhood to fire the woman caused the latter to fire the house and inform police that Ebps had done it. His lawyer, Clay Pendleton, attorney for the defense, took the witness stand and testified that the third party had given him information which led to his theory of foul play. Says Father Be But Romance Baltimoreans, who marvel at the quaint customs of savages' buying sheiries for many shoals, he surpassed that right in Baltimore lives a man whose mother was purchased by his father right in the free state. He married Bennett, age 87, 1344 Druid Hill avenue, who came as a Christmas gift in 1840, as a consummation of that purchase he says was a most beautiful romance. His mother, he declares, was a slave in Queen Anne's County on the coast of North Carolina, a free Negro, after falling in love with her, was forced to buy his mother from her owner. Bennett, as a result of the purchase, was born free. Went To Sea When the Civil War broke out Bennett declared that he was living in New York for years of experience on the water, he was considered a first class seaman, went to Fort Fisher where he was assigned to the steamer Wilderness. After two days the captain of the S. S. Transport requested that he be assigned to the captain of the Wilderness declared that the only way he could be returned was to cut him in half. Had Ten Children During August in the year 73, Bennett became an issue of the union. Bennett has been a resident of Baltimore for many years and recalls when the site upon which Bethel church stands, was a vacant lot.

S.—SEE THE BIG P A denial that Johns Hopkins University would discriminate against African-American Championships, scheduled for Homewood Field, June 3, was issued last week by Henry Addis, assistant to the treasurer. Mr. Ididt, in a statement to the press, pointed out that the Hopkins University proved a race athletes to compete, but would be *perfectly willing* to permit them to compete, a proved factatory to U.S. officials. The South Atlantic Committee, in turn, expressed their willingness for the team to compete if none of them competed it would be clearly the fault of Hopkins. Donate Field Because the Hopkins authorities have promised to donate the use of Homewood Field free, the committee will be going further toward determining just who Hopkins should consider eligible for competition at Homewood. Hopkins' recent expression of uncertainty as to whether it would be able to grant priority to the S. Atwater team was scouted by committee members as a subterfuge by which toVOICE the charge of over discrimination. Meet Wednesday Nite A meeting of the committee is to be held Wednesday night to settle once and for all on the location of the meet. now two weeks off.

First among the records to fall was the world's record for 175 yards when Wesley Foster, speed merchant, tasted the distance in 16.6 seconds. Friday, as the University of Oregon and Washington State College help their duck team, the 220-yard Foster was imminent in the 220-yard mark was checked at the 175-yard mark. Previously he had won the century dash in 10 seconds flat. While he was declared no winner, he was checked or not, or other conditions it is feared that his record may not be recognized due to the fact that no official of the A. A. U. was Bob Metcalfe Running the 220-yard dash at the State High School track meet at Champaign, Illinois, Saturday, Robert Metcalfe, representing Wilson Hill School, announced the national inter-scholastic mark when he was clocked in 21 1-5 seconds, one seconds, one second better than the national record set by Carter, of University High, Chicago.

He had 42-yard dash, his usual event, Phil Edwards turned in a new meet time to win the 440-yard dash, his time for the distance being 56 seconds, and he was the first in the prime of condition and while Myers' performance is not yet Olympic calibre, constant practice may have helped him as he has been consistently bettering his marks.

THE PASSING REVIEW Bv BILL GIBSON PUGILISTIC PARSONS is the title that may be tacked on to some of our fighters in their declining years, following the announcements the first "preacher" brought to this desk's attention was none other than the old master himself, Jack Johnson, who amid the applause of the assembled churchmen of the M. E. Conference, in session in Kansas City, delivered a fifteen minute sermon on the evils of John Barrycorn. Scarcely had the M. E. brethren lifted their heads, than came word of the sermon in West New York to a white congregation. We are told that Walcott, who was introduced by Bud Saten against the ropes when the final gong sounded. Jack Johnson admits to the tender age of 52 and Walcott answers to 57. It is interesting to see that these old masters have turned to the church from the prier king and have picked the same opponent. There might be an interesting piece of psychological research done in an endeavour to beat the cause for these two formations so they can take to preaching. There is the possibility that not being able to mow down physical opponents as of yore, the desire for combat has found expression in this urge to fight the devil. If Johnson or Walcott prove as effective in the pulpit as in the ring they will have little to regret for making such appearances as they have made. IF INQUIRIES RECEIVED by this col. conductor in reference to the Baltimore Marathon of 26 miles, to be run here, June 2, are indicative of the number of actual race representatives who are going to enter it, there should be a goodly number at the starter's line on that day. To the man who can finish among the first six will come more than the mere plaudits of the multitudes and the receiving of a memento in the form of a gold, silver, or bronze medal, for the first half dozen shall have their chance at making the Olympic team. Olympic tryouts will be held at the Harvard stadium July 6 and 7 and will be under the auspices of the American Olympic Committee. and is the opening of the entry list to race performers, (a right which theoretically, at least, should never be debated), affording the best opportunity to win. Excellence of competition is the only deciding factor the BEST man wins, that's all there is to it. Followers of sports will remember the opposition entering race athletes that existed some time ago and have no doubt, observed with keen eyes, that breaking down of barriers that considered the proper thing. Athletes today, affords, perhaps, one of the best indices to equality of performance and has been doing much along the best route about a better place in the world. While to finish, it is our desire that he finish among the first six. With outstanding white athletes from the country over, competition is going to be unusually keen and our runners must not only be our It is unfortunate for local and state athletes, distance runners, that the Municipal meet is to be held on the same day but this is just another of life's little ironies that bobs up at times to toll our plans. Entries close this week. Get busy. THE SUMMER BOWLING season is at hand, prices having come down as the mercury has ascended. Already a number of teams have signified their intention of participating in the summer league. Bowling in Baltimore has for a number of years been a sort of temperamental thing its popularity seemed to be growing in warm in cool, as it has been to the upper tiers and has built up for itself a loyal and enthusiastic following. Somehow, there is a certain fascination about bowling. It is a sport that is always accessible to its devotees and that is in addition made accessible to them with the least possible preliminary prepa- Weather conditions never effect bowling. In the coldest winter when storms rage outside, bowling is O. K., and in the summer it affords pleasure without causing the participants to be worn down by Old Sols' rays. There are many men, and women whose outdoor activity such as playing bowling is more intense than they care to endure. The bowling appears as a happy medium. So the summer bowling season is at hand, and some're bowling and some're not. And that's that. WE HAD TO CHUCKLE the other day when our co-laborer in this arduous field, the affable Rollo Wilson, of Pittsburgh Courier fame, contributed, gratis of course, theerry ha-ha to a New York writer who stole, or shat, say purified or borrowed, the caption to his Rollo dismissed the incident lightly but we want you to know that if the stealing of captions was the only offense of which some of these writers are guilty the world would be a mighty prize which of it live, or just to live in, as we used to say. Rollo just check upon some these birds and sea birds that I'm doing of your dope they're stealing too. I've done it, mon, and find that I'm working for umpteen sports sheets. Like Rollo, as we've said before on these pages, aren't at all, but all would like to get a little credit once in a while for the work we do for others. But let's help the boys out.

The bout, referred to by Fugazy as a bout between "fighters men forgot," had been originally scheduled for Philadelphia, but the last minute on Jimmy Dougherty on the scene he brought about a switch in the original plans. Risko Confident Risko, who has openly vowed that he can defeat Godfrey, will have the burden of proof resting on his shoulders when the two enter the ring, for Godfrey, in addition to being the most advantage of about 20 pounds. The Leperville "menace" was shunned by all of the so-called heavyweight contenders ex-tense, who succeeded to Godfrey's attack in Los Angeles a few months ago. Chance For Godfrey Godfrey has been rounding into shape since an automobile accident in Texas some time ago and has started intensive practice in the month off. Both fighters feel that if they are victorious in this match, they will get a chance at Jack Sharkey. A bout between the two was last month, the affair to be held in Chicago, but Godfrey, as usual, was ducked. A win for him in his fight with the Cleveland baker was a victory and toward that end he is, under the strict supervision of Doughtyher, concentrating all of his efforts.

Registered U. 600 EAST BALT In keeping with the time-honored custom and tradition of America's Southland, dark skinned athletes have found themselves in a rather embarrassing predicament following the announcement that the team will compete in the South Atlantic Championships, scheduled to be run, off at Homewood Field. John Hopkins, Saturday, June 9. Not only have these athletes been embarrassed and humiliated but they have brought about an equal measure of embarrassment by stepping from the team to the opposing shell is that the proverbial buck is in the process of being pass from Hopkins to the South Atlantic Championships committee. Hopkins has denied attempting to bar Negroes from the meet, and the situation has gone on. The situation are favorable in the timing of the meet to colored athletes, Says Hopkins, if the A.

That Hopkins is averse to competition on HER FIELD with Negro athletes is a generally accepted truism, and that Hopkins cannot be challenged. Hopkins athletes competed in a meet at Haverford last Saturday in which Negroes competed and WON their events. Hopkins finished fourth. The old, old story enters here, the story based on the tradition of generation. We do not feel that Hopkins would lose by admitting Negroes to Homewood Field. To the contrary, they would benefit largely in view of the competition afforded in interracial competition. The age is moving along, old customs being dropped and replaced by New and more suitable ones. It is not surprising that the A. A. U. and from the facts in hand, it is high improbable. In view of the tremendous advances in the arts and sciences at the Maryland school it is unfortunate that it should fall out of step in civilization's onward march.

Saturday, May 26, 1928 SCRAPS A Very Short And Very True Story of A Little Girl Tragedy. By PALESTINE WELLS. Had you chanced to be in the vicinity of Lalayette Market on a certain morning last week you would have seen them—Mary and her little brother are not their re-1 names, but for certain reasons they cannot be given. However, Mary and John will just as well. Were you inclined to be sympathetic you would have noticed these two children, but even though you were very hard hearted indeed you would have been able to pass girl without giving her a second curious glance. She was just about thirteen, thin, brown, evidently undernourished, and ragged. The tragedy of it all was that it could be done that that girl could be to a mother, his little brother John. a child of was so wooely undersized for his age and even more ragged and unkempt in appearance than his sister. But he managed to smile in spite of his smallness and hisently naughty nose. Somehow his smile was more of a sympathy get-together a tear would have been. It was early morning of a day after market day and the children had come to collect such scraps of food as they could buy outside the market. They stopped ever once in a while before a particularly promising looking heap and went through the carbage for all the world like two little half-starved dogs. Once they stopped over the garbage can behind the tall and adorned the scraps left by those who had partaken of a sandwich or so their rusty little black Boston bag. Until a little over a month ago, Mary attended the sixth grade at a public school. In ability she was slightly below the scraps put out by her effort. Then suddenly she seemed to lose interest in her work. She kept away from the other children. No amount of persecution or threats could make her remove the red and blue sweater she wore. The teacher looked at her sharply: "The teacher but not in the bad expect." Then there came a day when she didn't come to school. A week passed and she did not return. Finally, it was reported that she would never return. At home in the large, foul smelling fatha house on a street not fat for the market Mary lived with a woman she called mother.

She was a girl with brown hair and back street. Her mother was poor, her father was dead. Her father had just finished paying for the hut when he died. Her mother worked out in the city and the people were very kind to her. Susan Anne were ten years old. One day Susan Anne was going to school. She was looking through some trash that some people had set out for the trash man. Susan Anne was so happy she beads so she unwrapped the bundle. What, to her surprise, was a large beaded purse. She dropped her books, and opened the purse. What do you think was in it? Roles and rolls of the Susan Anne jumped with delight when she managed to ran to the place where her mother worked, for it was not far from the school. When Susan Anne ran in the door with her smile of joy, her mother asked her what she wanted. Susan Anne could not guess what she found in so trash? The mother's face lightened, and she said, "Tell me. Child." Susan Anne took from behind her the big beaded purse, and opened it. Her mother saw the owner's name and coat, and hat, and the mother and Susan went to the owner's home not far away. A man came to the door. He asked the lady and little girl what they wanted. Susan's mother took the big purse from her pocket. The man asked her to come in. The story was that Susan was the purse and all the money in it. Susan Anne and her mother went away happy. The Household Scrapbook The Household Scrapbook Here is a good method for cooking peas. Wash but don't shell them. Place them in a kettle of boiling water. When the pods open, the peas will sink to the bottom and the pods rise to the surface, an indication that they are cooked. It is easy then to skim off the pods. **Putting Away Silver** When silver is to be put away, rub it with olive oil and wrap it in a piece of old table linen. This will prevent tarnishing, and when required for use again, it is only necessary to wash it in hot water. **Room Help** A small horseshoe magnet kept in the sewing machine drawer will be found very convenient for picking up dropped pins and needles. Call Vernon 6016 Cooking Peas Dr. Alain Locke and Charles S Johnson give very exhaustive and critical studies of the types of Negro poetry which in recent years have been favor with the reading public. Based these scholarly expositions the magazine is largely flap-doodle. The prime object of our modern writers of color seems to be merely to transform the alley and gutter verse of our lowest types to verse of our highest forms of art. Needless to say, this rubbish, disgusting enough in prose, suffers more so by the transformation. There seems to be, since I last noticed the productions of the advanced school, a change in style of composition, "Silues poems". They repeat certain lines in invocation which, being a newspaper, have a strong suspicion is merely to double the space rates as it adds nothing to the beauty, if there is beauty, to the poems. For example I offer, with no interest to prejudice the jury unnecessarily, to "Once Bad Gal", by Warner Gale. Perhaps that's darn good poetry. Maybe I'm a lowbrow and cannot appreciate elegant esthetic things. We somehow have to, Some how or other, and I will apologize to Lewis, himself, for saying this, but I don't like this verse of his any more than I like the that bind men sing on vectric rolls, the lower Pennsylvania Avenue music shops. It's from "Barefoot Blues." For no logical reason that I can see. Langston Hughes, leader of this movement, was a white woman, a whole space surrounded with a abundant white space with the following; Being a lowbrow, I shall not try to take this column out of the category in which it has so long remained by printing more of this bit or intellectuality, which I confess, is far more negative. The younger Negro poets remind me of little boys who write naughty things on the blackboard when the teacher's back is turned. It is a matter of speculation with me as to how long they will be before the white will sell their books and realize what monkeys "we" young Negro artists have been making of them.

Order to be perfectly polite, one should say nothing but good about a gift or keep his opinions to self, but we do things in printers' ink that we dare not do in conventional society, so, forgetting for a moment, magazine was given to me.

O. men treats women Just like a pair o' shoes, I say, treats women Like a pair o' shoes— A CHILD'S HEALTH Don't Make a Toy Out of Baby —Babies Have Nerves By RUTH BRITTAIN Much of the nervousness in older children seems traced to the over-stimulation during the birth by regarding baby as a sort of animated toy for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby may be played with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, being tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, can result in vomiting, and invariably causes irritability, crying or sleeplessness. Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you just can't see what is making baby restless and upset, give him a tetra drops of pure, harmless cream to amazing to see how quickly it calms baby's nerves and soothes him to sleep; yet it contains no drugs or opiates. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper. Loading physicians prescribe it for colic, cholera on stomach and bowel constipation, gas on stomach and bowel all overness, loss of sleep and all other awfulness. Over 25 million bottles used a year shows its overwhelming popularity. With each bottle of Castoria, you can book on Motherhood, worth its weight, and look for Chas. H.

There are many imitations. er we members of the black intelligence are going to keep up the bluff that we like this meaningless twaddle. How much longer, and Imitate these an answer, will we permit these themselves into believing that what are producing is work of genius, when we know biame well that illiterate railroad laborers are singing much better songs to the tune of "John and the Swine" they swing their hammers and picks. Poetry, if not sublime, if not written to endure throughout the ages, a legacy from this generation to those to come, if not written to give inspiration to some weary soul, cheer to some saddened heart and light to some darkened mind, need not be written. In the "blues" poems we find little of this sublimity of thought so necessary to any literature to make for permanence. Poetry is but a tonic for the spirit and while these longer and Negro artists may contain all the elements required by the laws of poetics, it looks like patent medicine to me.

Woman's Viewpoint By LILIAN LOTTIER "WE SHOULD WORRY" In the current "American Magazine", a lord of creation, aided and abetted by others of his ilk, names a number of things about women, which are "almost incomprehensible" to the weighty masculine mind. The list is long, and ranges from such imusuing pecadioiloes as window-shopping and visiting over the telephone to the much more serious sins of lying and being lacking in a decent sense or reserve about their love affairs. I counted at least nineteen indictments against the female sex. Not satisfied with that staggering array, the gentleman darkly hinted at many more which could not be mentioned for lack of space. Altogether, ladies, who were in a state of incomprehensibilities, and we have a Chinese puzzle beat a frazzle. Minds And listen, girls, this is the way the dear man begins his article: "we men have two ways of regarding women; with our hearts and with our MINDS" (The capital letters of MINDS, No. 109, New York, are the greatest joke to be asked to conceive of a MAN's using his MIND where a woman is concerned? Actually THINKING about a woman — using his BRAINS about her. Who would not laugh? That poor, self-deluded male imagination able to see in woman a whole lot of qualities which "puzzle and irritate" him is USING HIS BRAINS — is THINKING. Well, if that is the case, what I have always thought is true. Man has TWO brains, one which they use (or life in general, and another which they must fortunate woman's exclusive benefit. Two Brains I have the utmost admiration for Brain No. 1. I think it is a most wonderful organ, and I am wholehearted to help and to recount its achievements at any and all times. But when it comes to Brain No. 2, I want to be as helpful as possible. SUCH a delicious joke. And it gets just as far as a squirrel in a cage. "THE AFRO CARRIES MORE NEWS THAN ANY OTHER WEEKLY."-Europa, Gordon, 1927, Surker. Graphner's Select BEVERAGE 5 bottles 25c Deposit required on bottles. You've seen them, haven't you? Squirrels in cages go around and around and around with great speed and a misleading show of energy, but TITTLEBUTTERLY NO-WHERE. Just going over the same old ground day in and day out. That's how a male's second brain works — the one he uses for the solution of problems feminine. Peculiar Woman Over and over and over again he bleats about the "peculiar" things women do; he howls long and loud and continuously about feminine qualities which are puzzling and hard to HIM; he trumpets his disgust and amazement and resentment over the fact that he cannot "understand" this misplaced rib of his, that she is absolutely unpredictable even by the most careful of creation, and that no effort has ever been successful to convince her of the error of her ways and the general "cussedness" of her disposition. **AND THIS BLEATING- AND HOWLING AND TRUMPETING HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR MANY A DAY.** Trumpet Less If the dear brother would just embalm his squirrel-cage brain and do some real THINKING, he'd learn more and bleat less; he'd understand more and howl less; he'd sympathize more and learn nothing. Men don't learn ANYTHING without women, for learning presupposes gathering facts about a subject, seeing them in their proper relation to each other, and coming to logical conclusions concerning them. Just imagine the average masses using the same processes according to the female of the species. I don't blame you for laughing. It is funny. Since they won't LEARN what is to be known about us — our physical, mental and spiritual make-up. Into the shaping and moulding of our habits and characteristics — it is not surprising that the poor dears don't UNDERSTAND us, and folks who don't understand also don't SYMPATHIZE. And that is the whole matter, the key-note of all, trouble. Women Getting Along Well, we women are getting on "tight tolerably, thank you," with all of the weeping and wailing and masculine gnashing of teeth which we have heard so long. We go cheerfully on, just being our own pestification, but we don't even tho our disgruntled males can't get along with us. THEY CERTAINLY CAN'T GET ALONG WITHOUT US. And, that's that.

No Negro, no matter how well behaved, is safe in town, especially after the sun sets. It is common for Negroes passing thru the town to be severely beaten by the rough gangs of the town. No Negro in town, or in the town; and any Negro is lucky if he passes thru the town without being molested in some way. Only Negro gangs of the town are "neckers," as they are commonly called in this section, set upon a Negro and beat him nearly to death. Beating of Negroes used to be so common in Westville that neither whites nor blacks paid much attention to the beating, nor the course, never pay any attention to the beating or flogging of Negroes. All of the small towns of Florida are caught in the control of the rough "red neck" element. Westville is on the direct line from Tallahassee to Pensacola, being about half way between them. It has always been a tougher element of this district. It is reported on good authority that the town is becoming better due to the new liberal whites nearby to curb the lawless elements in that locality. Who Eats All These Imported Chickens?

THE FOUR BOYS Baltimore Professionals Would Not Want To Change Believes Wife True After Quarter Century Separation Riches Elude Pennsylvania Avenue Chinese Laundryman Who Dreams Of Return To Orient "Orange Dee-Light" What would you do if you had a opportunity to start all over again That is, the question that was proounded to a number of Baltimore by an inquiring reporter, as week. Vance Sharp, 1140 David Hill avenue, a barber, stated that he would become a minister. Sharp, of the church, said that the minister is not so interested in the ministry as a means to save the world as he is in the cold business of the proposition. He said that a man opportunities that cannot be obtained in any other way. But slight Change. Dr. G. T. Mosby and Dr. Harold Derry, who were would make but a slight change in their present calling if they were forced to give up their jobs as druggists. Both would merely turn to chemistry and not to research work, they admitted. The Rev. Walter English, pastor of Sharp Street M. E. Church, declared that he has put his whole life into the work and cannot conceive of doing anything else. Dr. Chalmers Hairston, dentist, declares that while he would rather teach than that if he did he would take up law, Law, he declared, would not only carry with it a good knowledge of law, but would also learn through which one can step forcibly to cure the existing racial evils. Doctor Wants Business Dr. Joseph Thomas, a physician of Snake Island would prefer to enter the business field because it offers the Negro the biggest opportunity of any of the colleges in the country to learn the principles of making money as well as earning money. Cato D. Anderson, instructor of the nursing department declares that he would become a journalist because he feels that great work can be done to help educate the students in the medical field. A teacher has the opportunity to reach the masses, he declares, and the preacher soon eats the big head and leads the people in the wrong direction. Monroe Brown, an undertaker, declares that he would prefer being a surgeon-doctor if he should make a change, which he does not desire to do. Believes Wife Tr Quarter Cent Riches Elude Pennsylvania A Who Dreams Of R While the varied racial groups surge up and down the street past the door Dr Jim a splice-feed itie Chinese laundryman sits in his shop up on Pennsylvania avenue. near Bloom, an almost pathetic figure dreaming of the Orient. The Jim and by his way, Jim is just one of those American appendages given him since his advent in the business of douzing soiled clothes his soap water has been seeking for here a long time. And that's where the story lies. WANTS TO BECOME RICH Born in Honk Kong, 50 years ago. Der left his wife and family, while 25 years ago he married and of Gold" he thought. For did he not promise them that he would soon be rich and return to Mrs. Der. the wife of Twenty-eight years have passed and the little man is still planning to return to the Orient. BECAUSE HE WAS FUNFUL. After such a prolonged separation, one would naturally think of him as being a very lonely man, or that he was a lonely man, and estranged. When sounded on such affairs of the heart, with their characteristic shrug of the shoulder, he was a lonely man, and about his own means of sociality, he replied. "Me all life alone, Melican woman, she no good." Der was a lonely man, and has come to his family, and it has had its effect upon Der Jim here. His elder son died several years ago. The second son was born to a married daughter is married, and has a son. The dream of riches unrealized, the little man goes daily to his sister, and has a son of his money to his wife.

True After Century Separation Avenue Chinese Laundryman Return To Orient Recreation, he says, are reading, writing and meditating. No doubt but that the latter is on Confucius. One takes his gods with him to foreign countries, you know. Reserved and aloof, one hardly expects to find a Chinese displaying emotion, but such was the case with Joe Jim. Jim is the son, and another of his family group, from a plain pine table, the laundryman exhibited them with pride, living in a small, private state, unimaginable of what Pennsylvania avenue thinks and does. Dr. Jim is likely to remain in the one horse class of launderers. But business does perk up at times and then he has a hired girl for a season. 45 Attend G. O. P.
