Chairman Hubert Work of the Republican national committee has colored connection between the indictment of Mr. Howard and his associates in Mississippi and the efforts of the Republican party to break into the "Solid South" in Arkansas.

He admitted that sate is one of the Hoover campaign chiefs, but denied responsibility for her going to Mississippi and that he would not have resources against the Republican leaders in that state. No Georgia Heard. When asked concerning the Georgia situation, Dr. Willebrand that there would be no national committee selected for that state until the next Republican national convention in 1932. He offered no explanation of the executive committee of the Republican national committee to seat either Benjamin Jefferson Davis, who served until the Kansas City convention, or Joseph H.

CITIZENS SEEK AID TO PRESS FIGHT Churchton Residents Ask Local Leaders To Assist In Obtaining Justice MAN SHOT BY MOB Officer Slew Innocent Man In Cold Blood, Goes Free CHURCHTON, Md.—The drive to collect funds for the prosecution of John Sigma, white, a former state policeman, who is said to have shot and killed Titus Blunt in cold blood, after assembling a mob of 30 white men, is being pressed by the colored residents of this community. Under the leadership of the Rev. Charles Jones, efforts are being made to interest the N. A. A. C. P. in the case which is one of the most revolting heard of in this section for some Mob Violence According to the Rev. Mr. Jones, Blunt prevented Sigma from taking his brother, Archie Blunt, after a disturbance, until he produced a warrant for the latter's arrest. Sigma went to a white community a short distance away and returned with a truck loaded with 30 white shoes. He was taken to the where Archie Blunt was. When he admitted that he still had no warrant, the brother refused to tell where his younger brother was. Sigma is then taken to the hospital and shot the man five times in cold blood. Blunt was rushed to the Annapolis hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Sigma was placed under arrest, but the following day was released on light ball. So different were state authorities in prosecuting Sigma that residents are of the opinion that an effort is being made by Annapolis courts to squash the case. Seek Aid Here Dr. Howard Young, Baltimore drug-gist, and A. B. Koger, secretary, are both interested and have pledged their aid in forcing prosecution of Sigma.

Four policemen, three white, and the prisoner whose actions led to the rioting were injured. That there were more more hurt is a miracle in view of the barrage of broken chairs, bottles, garbage and bullets as the machine gun squad have in sight. Invaded An Apartment The trouble started when Clarence Donald, of 2338 75th avenue, invaded an apartment at 559 Lenox avenue, with two other men. There they administered a headache according to police Henry Chau, for reasons said to be alcoholic. As they moved off Mrs. Chavis screamed to Patrolman Charles Kuhlman, president of Talmud C. and the ordered Donald to fight. Kuhlman was felled, but clung to his man as the crowd swarmed about.

In plain clothes, a colored policeman, Samuel McFadden, joined his fellow officers against the mob. All four sustained minor injuries during the attack. White civilians took sides with the officers, as the odds rose against them. A riot call was turned in and bluecoats were soon upon the scene. Then a barrage from the rooftops followed, continuing until the patrolmen took hold and ladder trucks rolled up scattering the crowd in the street. TEXAS DEMOCRATS THREATEN RACE MEN HOUSTON, Texas. — Race leaders, backing the injunction with the police, have to compete the Democratic party to admit colored citizens in the primary elections July 28th and the run-off August 25th have been threatened by white James D.

VIRGINIA TOO POOR TO PAY ITS TEACHERS DILLYWN, Va. — by Thomas L. Dabney)—Virginia is so poor that many of its rural schools are kept open on an average of only five monsoon days, nearly every year for the past decade, at least four of the colored schools around this place have been closed. Although the salaries of colored teachers are low, there have been found that teachers in these schools must bid all of their salaries for the previous year. Educational facilities for Negroes are worse as you go further South. There are two counties in Georgia having 95 colored children of any school who have never attended any school.

LEADERS Vote Fraud Probe May Reach Higher-Ups Like Bishop Carey BUSHEL BASKET OF MARKED BALLOTS USED "Friendly" Judge Makes Slayers' $280,000 Bond $73,000 CHICAGO—Danial Jackson, 2nd Ward Committee-man was summoned before the special grand jury last week to testify as to alleged frauds in the election of April 10. His records were seized and secretaries summoned. Jackson is a ward boss for Big Bill Thompson. It is feared the people will back also higher-up Thompson aides like Bishop A. J. Carey. Civil Service Commissioner. Judge Emanuel Eller, white, son of Morris Eller, admitted the release on bonds yesterday of two more white gangsters, who are under indictment charged with the murder of a lawyer. Grandy was the opponent of Morris Eller for ward committeeman, but he never lived to learn the result of the ballots of gunmen killed him just as the pools closed on April 10. On Thursday Judge Eller began recounting election crimes, from their county jail cells. At that time he cut the bond of Sammy Kaplan, another judge, to $3200, to $7300. Kaplan had threatened to talk if his release was not immediately forthcoming. It is expected he would incriminate the judge and his father if he were kept in jail. What Is Fraud A Chicago University student who was a prisoner in Grandy's ward election day writes in the "Nation" of July 25: "One of the Republican judges made a prosecution of the ballot of a convicted voter and marking it for him without bothering to ask if he had any preference. The ward committee many Negroes and white people." The result is Jewish management of Negroes. "Seven large cars with screening sirens, drawn curtains, and 'America First.' Crowd pleas, placed over the slides, drew up in front of the polling place. Men swarmed out of them and surrounded the Negro policeman, who at that moment was having a dispute with the police about passing out sample hallots and "America First" literature in front of the polling place. They told the policeman to lay off. "Boss," he said. "I can't take no sides. I can't, I can handle anything that happens." He looked big enough to handle almost anything and he proved that only honest policemen could be the place. "The cop persisted. They told him what fine shots they were and pointed to machine-guns and shot-guns in the cars. Shooting the preacher would be a likable old Jew, who never protected no murderer." The Gang "The gang in line waiting to vote names which the Republican clerk copied from the registration book who in turn took them just outside the door and handed one name to each man, who proceeded to vote that name, and the man who were taking the names outside before giving them to the gangsters to vote, but as the men returned about every hour they soon got to the men's room and the names were handed to the men openly in the room. Sometimes the same man would vote twice without leaving the room." **Bushel Basket** "Later that afternoon the balloon box was unlocked and, in plain sight of all, a bushel-basket full of marked items was carried in and placed in the box." Bolls Closed "The polls finally closed and the ballots were removed from the box. The Republican ballots were separated from the ballot. The Democratic boss took charge of the Democratic ballots, and the Republican boss doing the same with the Republican ones. Then the party workers systematically went through the ballots unfavorable to the candidates for whom they were working. The votes were never counted; the total number on hand was cast en bloc for each party's machine candidates and the ballots were to con- "During the time the ballots were being changed an election official came to see if two of the watchers inside the room had their curtains drawn and the doors locked he knocked. The two watchers went outside to report. One of the clerks glued his ear to the wall. While I was covered by a gun from the coat pocket of a gang member. The watchers reported that everything was O.

GOVERNOR WORLD—William (Goose Neck Bill) McDonald, political leader of Texas, who has issued a statement that he will bolt the Republican party and support Al Smith. McDonald represents committee of 50,000 Negroes which was not recognized at the Republican National Convention. The ironical thing about the move is that in contrast to McDonald, Texas whites will desert the Democratic party and support Hoover because of Al Smith's liberal policies toward the race in Harlem. DELEGATION SEEKS FARM LOAN POST DELEGATION SEEKS FARM LOAN POST WASHINGTON. — The Federal Farm Loan Board is not informed in respect of discrimination against Negro farmers. The Federal Loan Board knows that very many colored farmers have obtained loans. The Board has no authority to select the material of its members; which is an executive function vested by the law in the president. The Board, however, is authorized to select the Board would add a colored person to the staff if and when it should be furnished with evidence of discrimination against the Federal Farm Loan Act. Such substantially was the position of the Board as stated to Arthur G. Froe, Recorder of Deeds, L. C. Lea, Loan Member, and H. H. Jones, Recorder of Deeds Office. Mr. Froe was accompanied by Rlenza Blemus, president, Brotherhood of H. H. Jones, Recorder of Deeds Office. Mr. Froe was discussing administrative appointments of the board, and it was in reply to Mr. Jones questioned that the board has no control over appointment of its members. Loan Sharks Despite the number of Negro farmers who have borrowed through the board, the majority find it extremely difficult or quite impossible to do so, and consequently, have no interest in charge of usurious interest rates and bonuses. The difficulty of getting the evidence in due form, due to fear of reprisals was what constrained Recorder Froe to impress Mr. Pettijohn, having a qualified colored man to the board's administrative personnel. Gainey's Work Cited Mr. Froe cited the invaluable service rendered the Postal Department and colored postal employees by Mr. Gainey, a clerk-at large Railway Mail Service Mr. Gainey's post is not statutory; it was created by the Postmaster General because of unanticipated law and the affected colored employees. No more vital matter confronts colored Americans than that of having colored farmers in the country. Our numerous money rates.

SMITH AGREES TO CONDUCT REAL CAMPAIGN Personnel End Of Al's Workers Not As Yet Selected LEADERS TO BE CALLED TO NEW YORK SOON G. O. P. Opens A Lily-White Bureau In D. C. Under Col. Mann NEW YORK—A real campaign to corall the nation's vote has been agreed upon by "Al" Smith, Governor of New York and Democratic candidate for president. As an evidence that it's not going to be the usual type campaign with a bunch of paid workers bally-hooing to earn their salary, and without any convection of what the candidate will do or promise to do after election, has been passed that a man of national standing is being asked to head the movement. Meeting In New York Another evidence of the fact that the move to enlist colored support of the Democratic ticket on a high level will have little impact on the meeting of leaders from various parts of the country, who will come here to learn what Al Smith will make in the way of campaign promises, so that they can be more effective with a clear-cut statement which Smith will stand behind if elected. One of the country's largest race parties is here, interested in the Smith campaign and aiding in its organization. Said one of its leaders: "We know Al Smith. We know he shoots squares. You can bank on it, and all bigots in the world can't change him." Ku Klux Klan is for Hoover, who is the rabid anti-immigrant party, preacher of the South—who, by Bish or James Cannon of the M. E. Church South, will ask the G. O. P. for campaign funds. The Democratic organizations of the South have declared if the whites there will split their votes the colored southerner will find hit wavy polls during the election. The blacks will have always be found to keep the colored voter from the polls, even if whites divide their votes between the party. They point to various state franchising laws effective since 1890. Dirie Rejoices Southern Republicans retove over the Hoover procedure which has dethroned Perry Howard. Ben Davis and Emil H. Brown in Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. They also point out that Mr. Hoover has appointed Col. Horace A. Mann, white, once of Tennessee, to head the Hoover Bureau in charge of the South. *Lily-White Bureau* This bureau will have offices in the Munsey Building away from Nationally owned schools. Hoover whites will not have to meet colored folk who may be expected to visit national offices. This lily-white bureau will have as an assistant secretary to President Harding. The G. O.

O. SCANDAL CHARGE Start Investigation Indictment of Perry Howard, Mississippi Republican leader, has encouraged Memphis Republicans to renew their fight on Bob Church. A meeting called for Wednesday afternoon is expected to result in a letter being sent to Mrs. Mabee to inform her of the attorney-general, asking her to come to Memphis and start an investigation of Bob Church's connection with alleged political bosses in the South. they can carry Tennessee for him. They credit Hover to the Willie-Bear, journey to Mississippi and are seeking to show Hover advisers that a similar trip to Memphis would result in a real clean-up which would bring moe credit to Secret Inquiry Although Perry Howard was an assistant in the attorney-general's office, he pleaded as a strong lawyer. The church has seemed immune to every investigation launched against him. The result of the recent probe by the prosecutor of George Poole's affidavits against Church, has never been made public, although a "whitewash" report has been rumored several times. In an editorial in the "Press Scimitar," a *Scripus-Howard paper*. Wednesday the Hoover organization is urged to bring the boot with which the church has been to Memphis. Says this paper: "The way the Hoover outfit is starting out to clean things up in Mississippi, for years there has been talk about wavs and means to get the snout of Perry Howard and his cohorts out of the swill roughness in the party and kicks Perry out without any to do. "Now if we only could borrow that boot in Memphis long enough to kick Church and his white-trash underlings." Church Popular R. R. Church has been one of the most impregnable leaders the South has produced. He worked with the Memphis post office appointment, he had been immune from corruption charges. Wealthy and independent, even interested in other opportunities, he was other than an honest leader. Among the rank and file of the politicians, he is regarded as a hero and any action, which could be interpreted as high handed on the part of the administration leadership would have a far reaching effect, his friends say.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1928 VOTERS' LEAGUE CALLED TO CHICAGO Vote In South And Participation In National Party Are Objects KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A call for a national *Negro voter*'s league to consider the status and participation of race voters in the Republican party has been called to meet in Chicago, August 24th. The meeting is being called under impetus of the order of Elks and follows a conference of outstanding members of the Elks' Res. Request Replied The direct cause of the meeting, however, was to consider the general political welfare of Negro voters in the presidential election and to meet a situation growing out of the action of the Republican National Convention in refusing to indulge in the political disaffection of planks on disaffirmement in the South, lynching, discrimination and segregation. It pointed out that, despite the fact that the organization had presented a memorandum of resolutions to the questions to the request to include them had been refused. The second cause of the meeting was the precedent established by the Republican party at this convention, the Texas Case. This case presented in brief the question of whether party managers had the right to call convention delegates to the Texas Republican National Convention in State Conventions as a whole, or to follow the previously established rule of selecting some by district and so forth. It being made clear that to establish the rule of selecting all in the convention delegates in the Southern States from participation in these party matters and certainly prevents them from becoming delegates to Party National Conventions. In the establishing of this race destroying precedent, many of the delegates in the convention leadership voted in the affirmative to the dismay of those who stand for Race Equality by I-ry and because it was decided at the above meeting to form an organization to be known as the National Negro Convention. That said League should justify its existence as follows: 1. To have for its purpose the full enfranchisement of the American Negro. 2. To ascertain where the Negro stands in the Republican party. 3. To play with pitiless publicity upon those of our Race who vote in Political conventions and elsewhere against the Democratic Party and seek prominence and priority as the price therefor. The meeting organized and elected the chairman and instructed said officers to issue a call for a meeting to be held in the City of Chicago, Illinois, for permanent organizations to announce ways and means to carry out the purpose of the League. Those signing the call were, J. Finley, W. C. Heuston, The committee which presented the original resolutions included Ernest G. Tidrington, Ind., M. Smith, M. Smith, M. Smith, Charles P.

Texas Republican Leader Ousted At Kansas City Is- sues Statement sues Statement HASN'T DESERTED PARTY "Party Has Deserted Me," He Writes The Afro-American FORT WORTH, Texas. "Goosenock" Bill McDonald, for 2 years stalwart Texas Republican leader, is out for Al Smith. In a statement given to the APRO-AMERICAN this week, Mr. McDonald said. "I revere the history, traditions and principles of the Republican party. I am a Republican, but I cannot bring myself to the conclusion that Secretary Hoover and his so-called Republican managers of the South are Republicans. "No I have not quit the Republican party, but the Republican party has quit me. I shall stand where I am and hope that the party will some day come back to where it began in 1856 and then I can travel along with it without reservation." Mr. McDonald and his delegation were defeated at the National Republican Convention at Kansas City in 1857 and lily-white heads by R. B. Crager. "Ocillidge has virtually selected Hoover from his other cabinet members and has appointed the president, McDonald. I am an honorary with the scheme of the president selecting one of his cabinet officers behind him the entire federal machinery of the United States coupled with a huge sum of money used in questionable business." Crager marronage in his gift manipulated by cabinet officers and national commitment to antimilitude no longer to nominate such a candidate regardless of the people's wishes. "This is not government by the people. It is government by the president. It is government by the president years to whoever caters to his wishes. This is the method adopted in Mexico to select a president. Certainly that America is the country of the free do not want to Mexicanize our government. The administration's policy of protecting the public from corruption and its dishonest and there is much in his foreign policies that does not come up to America. I am an individually concerned, and as a Republican just now without a party. I would hate to see that President Pieddle pledged to continue policies in whole or in part of the Harding-Coolidge administration, and I shall not vote for his presidency. I will be represented in Mr. Hoover upon the American people. Al Smith "Some say that Al Smith, of New York, will be dictated to by the Pope of Rome. If he is elected president of the United States, then he will be dictated in the affairs of New York all these years that Mr. Smith has been governor of New York. "The people of these United States must not forget that there are other business, and that Secretary Hoover lived 23 years in England and might yet turn out to be a suppliant tool in the hands of certain powerful men in Japan and whose public policy is to tax its citizens to support certain churches and pay teachers out of the public treasury. "I have no fears from a Rome, but England and I have all things the American people hold sacred and dear." Whites Attempt To Lynch White Church Deacon MONMOUTH, Ill.

CHURCH SUED BY BANK RECEIVERS OFFICERS SEEK TO RECOVER ON NOTES ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN SIGNED BY LEADER MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Another echo of the recent crash of the Fraternal and Solvent Bank and Trust Company was heard here last week when H. L. Griggsby, white, receiver, filed a motion to collect on certain notes held against R. R. Church. The suit, which is also believed to have a political significance, includes a note for $214 dated October 1, 1974, a statement by G. T. Taylor and endorsed by R. Church. Political Bearing The notes have played a conspicuous part in recent political discus Of the notes on which the leader is being sued is one for $2,900 and which is said to be several months past due. Church, it is said, has refused to pay this note, because he was the sole owner of all shares of the old Solvent Bank stock which had a face value of $100, but which was declared by Grigsby to be worthless. A third note of $41 and the balance on another for $110, said to have been endorsed by Church, are also included in the suit.

However, the girls failed to appear and Turtley was discharged. 2 MEMPHIS COLLEGES AGREE TO MERGE MEMPHIS.

COUNTY Elizabeth School Board Reduces Term From Nine Months RACE SCHOOLS AFFECTED HAMPTON, Va. — At a meeting of the Elizabeth City County School Board, in the Court House, July 9, it was decided that "owing for the loss of more revenue from the school tax as laid in the county will not produce sufficient funds for a full nine months' school term" the school "will of course cover the expenses of seven months only, and that teachers would therefore be employed under a seven-month contract. On the surface this ruling applies to both white and colored schools, but it does not emphasize clearly affect the eight schools maintained for colored children, and especial will it throw great obstacles in the path of colored high school graduates who wish to qualify for entering standard schools and Hampton-Phoebus The towns of Hampton and Phoebus do not provide directly for the education of their colored children; they arrange with the county for that. The county through an arrangement with Hampton Institute sends the children of Phoebus to the Whittier Training School, and this school shall not suffer. The education of children from Hampton and its suburbs, however, is taken care of through Union High School, and seven graded schools — all be longing to the county. For its white children, Hampton maintains the Hampton High School and the SymsEaton Academy, and Phoebus supports a graded school. White children of high school age in the outlying districts come to the Hampton High School, and the children of Army Officers at Fortress Monroe and Langley Aviation Field are admitted free, even though their parents pay no taxes to the town or county. Taxes Too High The School Board says that an increase in taxes of one-half of one hundred dollars would provide enough funds for a nine-months school term, but the tax would increase the town people would rather support their schools through their Parent-Teacher Leagues, thus a tax designator, well, schools. The colored people feel that the county and town owe all children an adenate education, but they are still willing to do so. They understand the situation and make possible a full school term for their children. However, the parents of the colored schools are anxious to help the schools and keep the buildings in repair; and the prospects of their supporting eight schools, with from 1200 to 1500 pupils, are not at all bright. The hardest struck of all the schools is Union High School, an outgrowth of the Junior High School of eight years ago. The parents of the schools are largely responsible for making it a four-year institution: they kept rallies and raised funds for equipping its laboratory and ensuring they will have to complete the partly finished building if it is to be completed all. The citizens are quite concerned about this school, and the seven-month school term will mean that colored high school graduates in Elizabeth City County will have to work elsewhere before they can enter any reputable school of higher learning. Woodson Lauds Booker T. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Ala. — "Not as a Negro, nor as an American boy, but as a Washington he remembered fifty years hence." Dr. Carter G.

MASTER Late Wayman Wilkerson Expected To Get Appointment Im Memphis WAS LIEUTENANT OF ROBERT R. CHURCH MEMPHIS, TENN.—The late Wayman Wilkerson, financier, politician and fraternal leader who committed suicide here some time ago was slated to become assistant postmaster of the local office, it was learned here from friends of the dead man this week. Wilkerson, who was a co-leader and lieutenant of Robert F. Church and then president, admitted it is said, and it is believed that this explained the appointment of Edward V. Sheley, white, and a Democrat, with the approval of President and Republican organization in Memphis. Was Ambitious That Wilkerson was ambitious to pluck a big plum, whenever he plucked it and then nursing for Congress the Memphis district some years ago. At that time he told friends that he realized that he was running in a strong Democratic district, that someone had brought about unexpected occurrences. In that election he polled a surprisingly large vote which made Democrat Stephen S. Johnson a Justice. Church Dominant With the backing of R. Church who is now one of the dominant factors in Tennessee Republican polls, he has been the appointment as postmaster, and failing that expected to be named assistant. But the failure of the Fraternal and Solvent Savings Bank officials, and thus probably difficulties that he shot himself and thus probably ended an attempt to be the first colored man to be assistant postmaster of Tennessee's largest postoffice.

RACE HAS TO LIVE SOMEWHERE-TOBIAS Colored People Seeking Good Homes Not Company Of Whites Y SECRETARY SPEAKS Forigen Mission Conference Considers Race Problems NORTHFIELD, Mass. — Assigned a peculiarly crowded living conditions of the Negro populations of New York, Boston and other cities of the North as a dangerous place to the health and morals of the country as a whole, Channing H. Tobias of New York City, senior secretary of the National work department of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A., made a plea for reasonable housing districts for Negroes in a recent His speeches in the afternoon and evening were the outstanding feature of his career, and the study of the problems of Negroes by delegates to the Northfield Foreign Missionary Conference will live somewhere. They believe that they should have the opportunity to show that they can be good neighbors, and that they will be a menace not only to themselves, but to the health and morals of the country as a whole, Mr. Tobias said, "They do not seek a home among white homes, but he is looking for a good home, and it is true that, although we will live that the better homes are to be found. For many at present it is impossible to find decent homes because of the crowded sec- "There is a racial deadline in industry and colored people are superior to white people in mental tasks and domestic work. Trade unions hold them out where ever they are, in Harlem, where they provide 75 per cent of the trade, the business houses give them practically no recognition so far as employment is concerned." "What we plead for is a chance," the speaker concluded. "We don't want to be given positions because we are colored, but we do hope to get the chance to make good and is up to them to decide which race that chance because many are in a position of control of these business establishments."

Card Party Bruce's Guests Politicias Here D. C. DEATHS Bitten By Snake P. S. S. "Antics Cannot Fool A Child" Declares N. A. A. C. P. Head DECEIVING HERSELF Affairs In Other States Should Demand Her Attention WASHINGTON, D. C. — Neval H. Thomas, head of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. F., in a letter to Mrs. Mabel W. Willebrand declared her activities in Mississippi not aimed solely at Perry Howard and his political associates but at the great Negro race. "Perhaps you think you have deceived the colored people by your tactics at Kansas City, and your entry into the heat of Mississippi as Joan of Arc to write for white supremacy. This whole scheme against your colleague. The Hon. Thomas, the host of Mississippi, was concocted right here in Washington by the servants of Mr. Hoover to take from the colored people the least of illumination and prestige in a degenerate political party that has lived on the Negro for years, and still lives on him while it double- and abandon him to his enemies. "I can't Fool A Child I can't Fool A Child that your antics cannot fool a child. You are not trying to clean up politics. If you were to say that your antics cannot fool the Department of Justice, in every department of our government here in the affairs of The Republic of the Union, and in the patronage grabbing of other National Committee members, which was filled with office holders away from their work on government pay, and delivering their votes and their votes for office and other enquiries. Deceiving Herself "No. my dear lady, you are deceivings no one but yourself, you think, shrewd activities are not even against Mr. Howard. They are against the colored race. They have turned the Negro over to the Rebel South in the foolish notion that he can hold the Regro in line in a dozen Northern States where he can determine the challenge, and we will meet you in November at the polls. "On your Holy Crusade you passed through half dozen states in which the Constitution of The United States that you are pledged to defend is most flagrantly violated, and admittedly so, even in so high a place as The United States Senate. The 14th and 15th Amendments are outraged every day, and even the 13th, through the infamy of penance, there is slavery as complete and brutal as that destroyed by the blood and carnage of The Civil War. You landed in Mississippi where every conceivable crime is committed against our Constitution, yet 'you opened not 'our mouth'." Meet At The Polls "We shall meet the faithless party at the polls. Every Negro newspaper in the country is ralling against the outrage, informing our millions of this last assault upon their liberties. If Mr. Howard were guilty of everything you disclose, he would only be following the ancient and well-understood policy of all politicians, namely, mani-lating the appointments. No, you are not after Mr. Howard; you are after the great Negro race." D. C. BIRTHS There were 50 births reported to the Health Department for the week ending July 1.

Only one *Negro business in North Carolina and Washington, D. C. The groom The Groom in the *hill* being a letter man in both football and baseball. He was manager of the football team and manager in 1926. Mr. Eraden was also a prominent and popular Alpha Phi alpha fraternity member. Mr. Eraden was a New Orleans, his father being prominent in business and politics and one of the far South's wealthiest men since 1926. He was made three years ago to bomb his beautiful home, which at that time was memorialized in New Orleans most aristocratic settlement. The young couple have settled in the groom's home town, where he will enter the business field, his father being president of the Douglas Life Insurance Co., as well as owner of other profitable business enterprises. ivide Over Douglass Home It Real Shrine—Bethune Fac- ts Out Of A Dollar quarters will be expended toward maintenance of the Douglass home. The Douglass Memorial Association, headed by Mrs. J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., has recently completed a project to build the Cedar Hill, where Douglass resided, but it will require $100,000 to grade the walks and lawns, to make the proper approaches, and to provide a diversion of interest is feared if the national headquarters is made the major aim of the national body, instead of a bee-line being made to commute to the park every year by the late Mary B. Talbert. Drift From Main Object The fight against such divergence of interest will be the object of the association for a quarter of a century, will probably be carried to the floor of the convention by Mrs. Daniel A Murray and the president of the sphere of the National Capital will be entirely friendly, it being probable that they will be supported by the men's Clubs in and for the District of Columbia, headed by Mrs. Marie J. Marsh. This action is calculated to promote the State Federation for the District and the Washington and Vicinity Federation, a newer organization headed by Mrs. Julia West Hamilton. Other women expected to get into action on this matter are Nannie H. Burroughs and Mrs. Mary Church Puppe, the woman in opposition to the Marshall group. In this case, Miss Burroughs is apt to meet attack from another quarter. Women who come from this district are expected to take note that Miss Burroughs has no vote, and call that matter to the attention of the national Republican head of colored women to head up their campaign. Such women as Letha Fleming, Halle Q. Brown and Daisy Amphlett are used to help the political position held by Miss Burroughs four years ago. A pretty fight is promised.

Lampkin Says Merger Is Illegal WASHINGTON. — In a discussion following the regular session of the Baptist Minister's Conference Monday, pastors disagreed as to the status of the merger of the three Baptist conventions of the District of Column. The discussion followed the sermon delivered by the Rev. H. C. Scott, pastor of Enon Baptist Church, and while the majority of the ministers taking part were of the opinion that the merger was all right, the Rev. S. C. Lampkin took sharp exception. According to the Rev. Mr. Lampkin, the merger is irregular. He claimed that under the law an incorporated body, as was the case with the General Baptist Convention, Dr. W. H. Jernigan, president, could not dissolve itself by a motion and merge with another body or condition. He claimed that the court would first dissolve the corporation before they could merge. Lampkins said that Lawyer Neill, the attorney for the convention, took the same view of the matter as he did, and that Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the 19th Street Church, also claimed that the corporation body cannot merge by passing a law to another body. Others present claimed that the convention could dissolve itself in spite of the law. Dr. Sayles, pastor of Providence Baptist Church, said that he was called to proclaim to legitimate baby. He said that he did not like the surroundings, nevertheless he prayed for the baby. He said, in so many words, that Rev. Lampkins was right, but since the baby was born even then he was illogical, so their duty to pray for its success. Rev. Granderson said that Rev. Jernigan president of the General Convention, mimeographed the notices calling the Mount Bethel State Convention together at his own expense and had them sent out. Rev. Lampkins claimed that it was unconstitutional and un-Baptist for the president of an opposition convention to call a meeting of a convention of the church, not a member. Lampkins said that since the great majority of the churches or their pastors had voted that they wanter the merger, it was Rev. Lampkins' duty to fall in line, whether it was right or wrong. Rev. Lampkin answered by saying that he did not believe in doing good might come. Lampkins replied to him. Lampkins that he hurt his influence and popularity if he did not come in line, right or wrong. The late Dr. M. W. D. Norman, Dr. James E. Willis, Dr. A. Willbanks, Dr. Lampkins and others had a hard time getting the Bettie Baptist Convention in because the National Baptist Convention because of the opposition of the president of the General Convention. A committee was appointed composed of a minister from each State in the Union represented. The National Natural Decide on the regularity of the Mount Bethel Baptist State Convention before the convention was admitted. The committee voted unanimously and the committee Bettie Baptist met to admit the committee to membership. Dr. Norman requested on his death bed the privilege of paying the sum of twelve dollars in full for the programs of the third annual session of the Mount Bethel Baptist Convention, of which he was a member at the time of his death. His last words regarding the convention were: "Keep the Mount Bethel Baptist State, Convention alive."

Organized In New York The town states: "One hundred and seven years ago, June 1821, the first annual conference of the what was later to be known as the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, was held Mother Zion Church, located at Church and Leiden streets, New York. The denomination, the outwork of unrest and revolt at "Caste prejudice" in the Methodist Episcopal Church, consisted of six churches, nineteen preachers, and 1426 members, with James Varick, Abraham Thompson, and William Miller, their accepted leaders. The first named having, the distinction of being the Bishop, elected at the general conference in Philadelphia, in May, 1832. "At the general conference in 1852 a difference of opinion arose with regard to the parity of the superintendent or bishop, which divided the denomination into two wings, the breach was healed and in 1860 the two factions reunited. The last general conference held at St. Louis, Mo., 1928 made even a greater effort to keep the church control nearer the general membership by adopting a constitutional amendment granting laymen equal representation with the minority; restricting the bishops, their wives, general officers and other members from office in general control from office in general control also made the wives of bishops ineligible to head missionary societies.

JESUS COULDN'T LIVE IN THE U.S., SAYS CHURCH REPORT Federal Council Of Churches Issues Scorching Statement On Lynching 1928 RECORD SHATTERED 7 Mob Murders Make Lynch- less Year Impossible NEW YORK CITY. — "The hope of America's becoming a lyrical land this year was shattered by the record of seven victims, all Ne-roes, during May and June," says the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, through its Commission on Race Relations, in an official statement issued here, Sunday. "These are seven victims too many," the statement flatly insists, adding that "their tragic deaths show the savagery of race prejudice." It is pointed out, moreover, that one of the victims of the last two months was burned at the stake and another snatched from a hospital bed. In an appeal to the churches, the statement further says: "The Federal Council of the Churches calls upon church people of all denominations and creeds to rise in the might of public protest against the actions they them to exercise their direct influence upon national state and local officials, in order that every citizen, however humble and of whatever color, may be safe and secure and law and order may be strengthened. Shall we repeat the record of the past five years or shall we abolish mob murder? Jesus Christ and the mob spirit cannot live together in the same land, in the same past years, the Federal Council of the Churches, through its Commission on Race Relations, has issué: an Honor Roll of states free from lynching, based upon careful records of this evil. We have noted with satisfaction the increasing number of states free from it and the gradual decrease in the number of victims. In 1927 were 41 states about recorded victims of lynching — the largest number of states so free in the history of the evil. "In 1922, there were 57 victims of lynching; 1923, there were 33; in 1924, there were 16; in 1925, there were 17; in 1926, there were 30; in 1927, there were 16. During the four months of the press year there was a victim lynch in our state, the longest period that we have been free from the evil since records have been kept." "The Federal Council's Commission of Race Relations is made up of lawyers, both white and colored in twenty-eight denominations. The Chairman is Dr. George C. Gleeman, Mississippi Ky., and the Executive Committee has as its head the Rev. Peter Ainsley, of Baltimore Dr. George E. Haynes, of New York Is Executive Secretary.

Blue Bookers Last Friday: the Savoy Ballroom was turned over to the Utopia Neighborhood Club to see the high and mighty social dames rubbing shoulders with the denizens of Lenox avenue and the habitues of the St. Louis club. I noticed that there was a distinct line of demarkation drawn and drawn rather stringently too. Those blue book members clung around the tables on the south side of the hall, and the regulars to the north side chairs. Though the weather was hot and humid, I noticed many of the grand dames danced, and the girls were many from Washington, Baltimore and other points south and west. Some of them were Gayvin, Mrs. Mary Cohen, Mrs. E. McDougall, Mrs. Brownbill, Mrs. Sarl. Price Patton, the Misses Lankford, Bessie Russell, tielen Carol, M. Williamson, the Messrs. Cohen, M. Williamson, the Messrs. Marshall Rose, Ed Golnes, Herbert Harris and Hollis Price. Mrs. Zenaile Anderson Taylor is back in Harlem from her brief vacation at Atlantic City. Hair Pulling Each week there is something that happens in Harlem that causes more commotion than all the other happenings together. This week the most outstanding affair was the moonlight boat ride staked by the Beta Phi Boys, Walter H. Hawkins, Travis Freeman, Alexander Jackson, Rudolph Thomas, Fred T. Brown. Probably the culmination of feud between one of Harlem's high and mighty social leaders and a rather quiet little matron of New Jersey over the latter's husband was the choicest incident of the ride. About a fortnight ago at a rather exclusive party that began in the afternoon in one of the little Jersey towns and lasted until the sun rose the following day the Harlem matron had the Jersey husband, who, by the way, is a rather prominent young physician, all to her self. Somehow the little wife, who was left at home to nurse her young child, got wind of what was happening in South Jersey. Straightway to the telephone she ran, and informed her gay young husband that she had swallowed a cupful of lysol and that she was dying. Do you think that friend husband or the New York matron was the least bit perturbed. Not on your tintype. Friend husband knowing the reaction of poisons calmly informed his young wife that she was mistaken and that if she had swallowed the poison it couldn't be more than a spoonful. Since then the young doctor, his wife and the powerful social matron from Harlem, have been rather chubby. So much of the variety of the women beaten the various night clubs and the numerous parties in Harlem. On the Beta Phi's Moonlight Boat Ride at Saturday, up the majestic Hudson, both women were too heavy, and a gleeful hair-pulling followed that ended in a draw. The doctor's wife and the high-powered matron from New York have decided to settle the case. But Harlem will have a double divorce? The Fight In A Garter The next incident of note was the appearance of—we'll call her Madam Patrol, she is affectionately referred to by the young students who accept her bounty even so often. This Madam Patrol has one of the most luxuriously appointed apartments in Harlem, a large, beautiful house, but used only by the best people. Madam had her usual suitcase loaded with pre-Volstead liquor, and an army of young students as escorts. The ride only took about 10 minutes, and some drinkers too short a time to really load up so the gang wandered around to the apartment. There one of Harlem's philanthropists, the one with one of New England's prominent students for possession of one of the garters belonging to one of the inmates. The physician being a rather powerfully built man, she was won milady's garter. The student much battered and bruised, and down in spirits, related the happening to the wife of the physician. She found the garter and she necked, to find her way to the divorce courts. Aside from a few minor drunks and muck necking, the Beta Phi boys had a rather mild moonlight sail. — SUMMER STUDENTS AND VISITORS RECEPTION NEW YORK — The summer reception to the visitors and summer school students for the Metropolitan district, and sponsored by the New York Academy of Business, R.

Court Regrets That This In Limit For Disorderly House Charge TO TIGHTEN SCREWS Courts To Aid In Stiff Arming Those Arrested For Vice NEW YORK—When the Committee of 14 recently appointed to investigate vice in New York City made its annual report a few days ago, it made a number of comments on vice conditions throughout the city and expressed the opinion that some of the Magistrates were not severe enough with prisoners brought before them on such charges. On Monday Magistrate Bushe gave four long sentences in the Workhouse. The prisoners gave their names as Edward Madison, 30, of 22 East 115th street; Frank Jenkins, 21, 112 Wes 128th street; Jones Wilson, 25, 200 West 118th street, and Rachel Gaines, 21, 116 West 114th street. All four of the prisoners were charged with being disorderly houses. "I am going to aid the police in their efforts to rid this city of vio conditions which exist, because of activities such as those you are charged with," the magistrate told the prisoners. He added that they were a disgrace to the race. The magistrate first to Madison it was learned, has been employed as a post office clerk and had used this position in the improper practice. Madison was given six months in the Workhouse with a rebuke by the magistrate in which he expresses regret that this prisoner limited the limit. Jenkins received thirty days, while the other two men were sentenced to sixty days each.

How much is a campaign promise worth? There is an interesting question in view of the presidential election four months away. There is some history on the subject, however. "Uncle" Warren S. Harding, whom I Walter White intimates in another column the first colored president of the United States had this to say at Marion, Ohio, in August 1920. "If I should be elected President...I will not empower an Assistant Secretary of the Navy to draft a constitution for helpless neighbor in the West Indies and jam it down their throat at the points of bayonetting them. I will persuade us to disuse the power of the Executive to cover with a veil of secrecy reacts of unwarranted interference in the domestic affairs of the little republics of the West hemisphere, such as in the last few years he not only made enemies of those who should our countrys discredited a country at a trusted neighbour." The election of President Harding did not How much is a campaign promise worth?- That is an interesting question in view of the presidential election four months away. There is some historical evidence, however, that Mr. Harding, whom Mr. Walter White intimates in another column was the first colored president of the United States—had this to say at Marion, Ohio, in August, 1920: "If I should be elected President, I will draft, a constitution for helpless neighbours in the West Indies and jam it down their throats at the points of bayonets borne by United States marines, nor will I misuse the power of the executive to cover with it the violence and interference in the domestic affairs of the little republics of the Western hemisphere, such as in the last few years have not only made enemies of those who should be our friends but have rightly discredited our country as a trusted neighbour. Harding did not, however, alter the situation in Haiti. Nan Britton's book "The President's Daughter" indicates that Uncle Warren was far too much occupied with other things to give Haiti executive attention. Mr. Coolidge who pledged himself to carry out Harding policies has taken no steps to re-call marines from Haiti. To the contrary he sent additional forces to subdue the language. He took too far back we may also recall the Wilson campaign slogan "He kept out of way. --- Undignified? What Ben Got Not Much AFRO READERS SAY: Readers may write on any subject they like.

If Negro politicians have received is to carry on their work from such so-called "time immemorial"; c. policy that will as eagerly followed by their whiteurs, if any. Instead of an expression of morality on the ground of charges and in actions now diverting the country, are of the great "Lily-White" conspirator of prominent Negro politicians to graft "these politicians to loud and cynical lauds. Collecting sums from office holders, or those who fondly hope to become office holders, one of the chief methods of collecting funds to keep the party machinery running, is to employ the best lawyers in this country, as embodied in the Civil Service laws, is that these offices will go to the ablest individuals, but in practice, as everyone knows, they go to the faithful as rewards for power on the one hand, and the highest banks of funds. If Negro politicians have received any funds to carry on their work from such sources, they have but followed the policy of politicians since time immemorial: a policy that will be just as eagerly followed of an expression of outraged morality on the part of the South, the conviction grows that these charges and investigations now diverting the country, are merely part of the great effort of the government Negro politicians so that the whites can collect the graft themselves. Raising the moral issue merely exposes the "Lily White" politicians to loud and cynical laughter. Hypocrisy And Deceit (From, Nortok Journal and Guide.) he efforts to discredit Perry W. Ho Ben). J.

He Is Not White From Chicago Defender Howard is charged with having sold fire damage. That is what appears on the guard. That is not the real charge against him. He, like Walter Cohen of Louis Davis of Georgia and John Davis of Georgia, with not being the charged criminal, not not being the Constitution provides no punishment, offense, therefore another one had had, but no one will take these indictments so. Every person convicted and sent to prison will believe him guilty. America herself too much of a reputation fists in that section of the country for a believe that justice was intended in this state cannot identify anyone more than three thousand Mississippi roads and murdered blood, she cannot give off much of a sphere of deceyn in this case. Howard is charged with having sold federal patronage. That is what appears on the paper, but that is not the real charge against Perry Howard. He, like Walter Cohen of Louisiana. Ben Davis of Georgia and Bob Church of Tennessee, is charged primarily as a witness. But the Constitution provides no punishment for this offense, therefore another one had to be But no one will take these indictments seriously. Even if Howard is convicted and sentenced to death, the American has given herself too much of a reputation for injustice in that section of the country for anyone to believe in the justice of the people. The cannot identify anyone of two mobs of 400 persons each that dragged three men through Mississippi roads and murdered them. This is one of the many of an atmosphere of degency in this case.

Yard a Play Spot The Playground and Recreation Association of America finds that about 75 per cent of the people' of America live in houses, most of which have back yards of some kind. They then put their yards to any practical use as play places for the children. According to Prof. Jay B. Nash, of Columbia University, for the price of a spare auto tire the back yard of an home can be equipped so that it will monopolize a large part of the child's time. If your children are small one of the first installations should be a sand pile. Certainly you have a sand pit, a garden or on your porch for a real "shan pile." They are especially enjoyed by tots from one to five and older. Of course the sand pile should be made of rocks and dogs and other animals out of it. A sand box four by six feet is large enough for two or three children. The sand should be dampened occasionally and bottles, tools and other articles should be kept dry. Another popular diversion for either boys or girls is a swing. No youngsters, but the swing should be made as safe as is possible to make it. Where there are seven youngsters used back yard playground instrument. Besides being one of the safest pieces of play equipment, there are horizontal bars, horizontal ladder, tennis, archery ranges, doll houses, tents, etc., etc., add to the attraction of the equipment you have in your back yard the less the children will want to play on the street where they are playing.

"Our decision is made and we must not vacillate." Do You Know? What president was blind in one In Darker Baltimore In Darker Baltimore By RALPH PLATTHEWS There is considerable h—l, and you'll pardon the expression, being raised around these parts on the lack of facilities on the playground under the bridge. Pity the poor little Baltimore children. No, not because they have no equipment on their hands, nor equipment to enjoy themselves. Looking back, I can't recall ever playing on a supervised playground in my childhood. If I am not mistake, I think I had no equipment, as it was possible for a kid to enjoy. Playing when I was a kid, and that was not so dreadfully long a, o, was a sort of spontaneity, instead of a mechanical thing that directors of playgrounds and social workers make it today. Playing when - was a kid it was something that you did intimately and as the spun you included it in the rules read out of a book by son, young woman or man who studied gymnastics and succeeded in kidding the official to believing that you should be able to show children how to play ring around the rose. Playing Ring around the Rosie, when I was a kid, was something that you just picked up as nature you cut it down. Nobody not, when I was a kid. Until I got large enough to see no thrill in them I don't recall ever seeing a sliding board. I went willing to wage a jungle war, was able to kill a waggle in many pairs of trousers, or to be exact breeches, as the average kid wears out today and didn't cost the team money. Why the dirt and mud and clay that Nature provided for ingredients for mud pies in our back yard seemed far superior, nice grazing area, and that nature unfuntils are forced to play in today. Mud, like beefsteaks, snacks to one and after you had had a good day's romp you had something to show for Nice chain swings, expertly and securely fastened, worked, worked, forward from the old rope tied none expertly and none too securely to the limb of a tree, but do they produce more When I was a kid, it seems to me, breakfast time and dinner time supper time were very different about where I was or what I was doing and my father; it seems to me did not even know the name of the bureau that was called in on very special occasions to administer justice, but other than that parents to me were not so excited about helping me have a good time. That is the reason I fail to see why it is so important to terribly put out if the Mayer, or the City Council or the Playground League or whoever attends to such things should go-go-go and the like to play with. Supervised play is a lovely thing for the supervisor who draws a lovely check for supervising play, but for the kids it's a challenge. To be forced to play Blind Man's Bluff when you want to play Duck on the Rock because the program has Bluff and the supervisor has to stick to the program for fear that a supervisor of supervisors might hurt the little how to play the most misgible existence that a child can be subjected to. Picnics Only once you can recall ever having my play supervised and that was at the annual Sunday School Picnic. On the third Sunday School Picnic, on the very mean things about the Sunday School superintendent who was a rather nice soul and meant well, but she just could not play like Play Disney with the little girls when the fish were biting like sixty in the stream just before the water came in those things about my Sunday School superintendent, now. The ingenuity that a child exercises in trying to figure out ways to entertain himself develops into initiative for future life. If somebody thinks up his entertainment for him his imagination is stunned. He can be fun out of building something for himself out of the scraps that he can salvage from the cellar and can be fun out of what he has built is a very good piece of workfare far superior to all the equipment that a city can buy to, he is a very good piece of equipment that will remain so for the rest of his life. Too Scientific No life is trying to make life too darn scientific and complicated. We eat by regulation, sleep a stipulated number of hours, our every day activities are prescribed by somebody and now we are even monkeying with our children's recreation. The adolescent can quite well tell that an individual has between birth and demise that somebody isn't trying to meddle in one's business, we let the kids enjoy it implemended. Local ministers. I have a sneaking suspicion, are suffering from the heat or allergies, say such utterly impossible things. Family Spats. The Rev. Thomas H. Kiah came to tell me that he tells us Baltimoreans that a good family spat draws the couple closer together. Pardon me for laughing, but the good pastor spats from me too, probably not at all. experience from that locality. If you recall, the ferry boat that brings Eastern Shore dwellers across the Chesapeake only runs about twice a day and if you have a fight with someone, you must miss the boat in the morning you have to sit around all day to wait for another. By that time you are hungry and disgusted and decide that you might as well go on back home and get cupper. You don't such inconvenience here in Baltimore and a fight is a fight. Being Sinful The Rev. Charles E. Stewart, who is unusually prolific in saying things that I disagree with, says man is nature and man is nature. He adds the lucky lot of praying to amount to anything worthwhile. This argument of the good reverend, is probably based on the assumption that men are born in sin because the childbirth and sex indulgence is something dreadful. If lusting after the flesh is really as bad as ministers would have you to believe and heaven was really anxious to love you, then the good reverend would have surely had foretold enough DAY BY DAY Al Smith--Women Voters And Social Equality Baltimore's Infant Mortality Rates Ashamed of her high infant mortality rates, Baltimore's Commissioner of Health E. Hammond the executive Dr. Excuse the large population of colored people here is responsible for the high death rate as compared with society. It is pittable enough to know that an average of 82 babies of any and all races out of every 1,000 must have the lives we deserve. They have the chances which some dogs have to live, but it should cause the singing of every human conscience to know that the lives of those THOUSAND MUST DIE MERELY BECAUSE THEIR SKINS ARE COLORED. Yet this fact is given by the BAMBERG who pollute the community conscience. Says he, "the large Negro population here is the principal factor in keeping Baltimore's infant mortality rate high in comparison with other cities." Any man or woman in Baltimore who can get any balm out of more innocent babies are snuffed here merely because they happen to make their advent skin so white that skin white is brown, half white or slightly pink, certainly has something human lacking about him. Dr. Jones may be helpless with some of the real problems affecting infant mortality, but a doctor who knows that balm is one of these premature deaths is a story which conceals the very spirit and resilience of every citizen of Baltimore. BABIES DO NOT BIE DIECAUSE THEY ARE EITHER WHITE OR RED. BABIES DO NOT BE CAUSE EITHER IGNORANT OR DELIBERATE NEGLECT. SOMEBODY HAS ERRED. Unfortunately more baby babies, whose lives should be just as precious as colorful babies should be white foliage, die from the distorted social and industrial system. Like colored babies some of them too greed controlled industrial machine of our times. But in addition to this the colored baby must come into the world with more cards stacked against it. This same industrial system and its encouraged prejudice makes the greed controlled industrial machine day in impoverished hovels, denies more of their fathers proper jobs and in general steals from more of their parents the product of their toll, than it does the whites. More colored babies die because the City Service Commission unintentionally competitive work; more colored babies die because practically every white business concern bars colorful employment because banks, factories stores and other commercial concern bar their parents from the privilege of making the same life as do parents of white children. Mors of these tiny misses pass in intancy because ministers of our church have been the suffer little children to come unto me" condone by segregation in their churches the very essence of being good at the courage of the martyrs of old. Perhaps you have never seen a baby die. Perhaps you have been told that the white of human flesh clench its little fist in pain and gazps its last breath without knowing what life was all about. Perhaps you have, the statement of Dr. C. Hampson Jones ought to make your blood boil. not to put desires into us that would Sexual desire in itself is no more sintul than the instinct: to eat or drink. Too much of either can make one veer off the path of the doubt to have been preached by the Rev. Walter English. He condemned everything one could do on the Sabbath, but going to church Baseball and even reading the Sunday papers was given a lambast of flection on the gentlemen who make their living preach sermons on Sunday. I get more spiritual uplift than out of all the sermons I have listened to. Why. I always did get a bigger kick out of seeing Matt Perry remind that my days on earth were but three score and, ten. if that many, and being urged to preach, I was a great judgment bar never did set well with me.

(From Kansas City Call) (FROM BALTIMORE MANUFACTURERS' RECORD) "I recently toured the black belt of New York and found since I left the city. Into three Negro cabarets I went about two o'clock in the morning and I found each one filled with a crowd of patrons, all white, white, white. White women, with every appearance of refinement, danced and chatted most intimately with Negro men; white women, with Negro men; white women, with Negro men; and social standing, danced and chatted often really intimately with Negro girls and women. The sight was too repulsive for detailed description in a decent publication."

Most Vital Moments In Child Life The parent of a 14-year-old boy tells us that the AFRO-AMERICAN CAN should spend more time getting people can work than in getting places in which the can play. This industrial viewpoint might be commendable so far as it concludes that mother and her wane be as for the child, it is a poor one indeed. Even among grown folks, work is a means to an end and of secondary importance. We work to play. But with children play is their best advantage. They must learn to spend their working hours to their best advantage, but how many human beings can spend their play hours to be entertained? It is because children did not learn to play right that we have crowded jaws and that every year we must widen the scope and the workers in our jurure courts. The real dancer moments in child life come in play and on the construction of real manicures of continuous growth. No child has ever learned a single principle of substantial ethics except at play. They may sunny school by their learned badness, itself, on the play spots. There they learn to play the game of life like or to cheat; there they learn to be bad, others or to sing their way thru; there they create *L* emotions of pity, love and loyalty, or develop animalistic motives of selfishness. It is just as important for the future generations that we have properly supervise and conduct children in equipped schools and churches. And by far playground equipment costs less in the long than jail and penitentiary even and serves the comm better. The Church And The Spoken Drama A proposition to have the more churches buy and cill more interested laymen, should be interested layman, should be crushed aside with either indignation nor sarcasm. One of the most productive touches in churches in large cities could would be to acquire and open property places where race una could be developed. The common interests are running away amusements, and especially theatre, and that is why catering more and more to the church and that is why the valuable mean expression. Most intelligent institutions now have their national drama through which they in their ideals and achievements. The waning influence of the churches on the young could be regained in no more speedy way than in gripping their dramatic interests. Already churches have recreational activities for children. It would just be another step to include the drama in a serious way. The theatre belongs to the devil, the church lets the devil have it. But originally belonged to the church. Tom Smith, Boss (William Hard In Roanoke Va. News) Negroes in several cities in border* and northern States are distinguished by voting the Democratic ticket in local elections. This has been true often in a considerable degree in certain sessions. It has been true in Baltimore under the leadership of "Tom" Smith, a locally extremely powerful Negro politician, as has been also in Memphis under the leadership of Robert R. Church, one of the oldest and most outstanding Negro characters of the country, who is a staunch Reporter. Negroes in local affairs has been a frequent and welcomed ally of the local Democratic "boss". How Did "Booze" Originate? "Booze" is not a word of recent colonage, as is commonly supposed. Although it is now classed as slang, it is still used in the English language for centuries. It appears variously as "booze", "house" "bouse" and "bowse". The verb "boosen", meaning a guzzle or drink to savor, is used word in the time of Edmund Spenser. omen are the husbands of vote-possession wives. As for the white women, they must be unified their perverted vote must be nullified by the righteous and patriotic vote of real women, the white, the white, a duty and opportunity that every loyal American woman must and always must have in history.

I feel safe to say that there are none here. The gap between childhood and old age is one of the few startling things about Philadelphia. One of the things that makes this a playground is swarming into the streets with tricks and games bubbling over with vigor, and the very children within a few years become old people. As soon as a young man in Philadelphia starts wearing white collars at all some of them must be standing collars. Before his beard even peeps he begins growing a goatette. His face is long, his brow is furrowed, his eyes are wide and his mouth is imagined pernaseness: his steps are staid; he takes up exactly where his aged sire left off (both at the point and in the spirit) and the worst name that you can call him is a radical.

A few days later I learned that it was John Doe, one of the two Negroes in the State Legislature. He was equally unsuccessful in the attempt to make a simple statement to a magistrate in behalf of a client less than a week ago. William Roe, the second representative, in the Legislature was made fun of, in an attempted short speech, at his Negro banquet: the charge was that he had not changed his position in three or four years: "two reasons for a bill groviding for Negro soldiers in Pennsylvania." THE WHITE BOSS RULES In one of the city's wards Negroes constitute 85% of the population, yet a white man is boss of the Ward, and every man who goes anything like a favor feels obligated first and last to the whiteness of the Machine. In politics and out of politics, representation imposed on the people, rules out individuality, a sure possession of young people. (4) No Progressive ministry.

LESSONS Philadelphia teaches some lessons to the Negro which are of general significance. (1) What the race needs now, above all else, is individuals with profound convictions and cultivation, distributed into all quarters, an inspiring—an awakening—of the people is the need of the hour. Salvation for the race will be found in spirit and not merely or chiefly in 'economic independence." (2) Where one political party has a monopoly the results are equally as bad as they would under any other. (3) Negroes, like any other portions of the population, reflect the life of the community. It is utter folly to talk about a racial culture where several mixed races live in the same city. Forces in the city will ultimately affect all the people. Whites and blacks, and all-betweens, in Philadelphia are much alike, lacking in true symptoms of youth. Young Women Hosts Misses A. Robinson and June Iam, 1305 N.

ERECTS $50,000 BUILDING Philly Concern Started By Va Headwaiter Twenty-Nine Years Ago Weekly Payroll Now Said To Average $1,400 PHILADELPHIA. — The demolishing of a three-story brick structure at 114 N. Nineteenth street, which property was recently purchased by the Holland Catering Company at a price said to be $50,000, for the erection of their new two-story annex began last week. According to Mr. William Newman, owner and manager of the company when interviewed by a reporter of the AFRO-AMERICAN, the company has been forced to seek larger quarters due to the increase in business. They now have their plant at 113-15 and 117 N. Nineteenth street, but have no banquet rooms able to accommodate a hundred or more guests. The new building which is directly across the street from the present place of business will have banquet and small party rooms on the first floor, also a restaurant compartment, and a large banquet room on the second floor which will provide the banquet and party furniture will be completed this winter. The new property has a frontage of 24 feet and runs back 103 feet. The purchase was negotiated thru the Real Estate Security Company, with a first mortgage loan of $100,000 placed on the premises. 25 Years Old The Holland Company started business over a quarter of a century ago by the late John W. Holland, at the late John W. Holland, the death of the founder during the World War period, Mr. William Newman, present owner, and who at that time had been with Mr. Holland only three months, took over the business, although times on the days of business the company managed to thrive and at the passing of the owner then, the payroll was around $200 per week. Under the leadership of Mr. Newman, the Holland Company has grown to the extent that the plant is now located in the building, between 150 and 200 men and women on the outside who are job workers. The present payroll averages around $1,400 or $1,500 weekly. Was Va. Headwaker. The late Mr. Holland came to the city of Newbury from Virginia over fifty years ago. He was for years a headwaker at local hotels before venturing into the catering business. Mr. Newman, his successor is also a native of Newbury and must have been in the business 29 years ago as a cook. Assisting Mr. Newman is R. E.

In another block of this same street, we pay a visit to the Society for Protection of Colored Women. The staff which supervises this organization, headed by Mrs. Kate Ruff Greene, could tell you volumes, concerning its work and the good it has done. There are a number of young women and older living there now who have gone forth into the world, who could bear witness to the facts. There is tragedy, pathos and newly-found happiness mingling hand-in-hand, with its young occupants. Bv "PEGGIE" In University avenue (that's what they said that they were going to call South street), starting about Tenth, and going out beyond Nineteenth. I took cognizance of the following outgoing instances of our own progress: A fire company, composed of a number of interesting men, the "only one of its kind" in Philly, Gibson's Standard, of which pictures of a bevy of most beautiful girls—that sort of "crool brown" and "haughty high-yalter" type, who are on Wednesday to sail for Europe as a company of most accomplished dancing dolls and litting birds; we were told that because it is known for the very good motion pictures it produces.

Mr. Wingate is the proprietor and its O.K. with the barbers. And that beauty white building on the ground—this is Citizens' and Southern Bank-Oyeah, all "ours." Interspersed here and there—printing, beauty and music shops and occasionally a clean lunch rom amidst more "hash joints." Truly South street is fast becoming a promising commercial center for There are tea parties, suppers, dances, plays and almost every conceivable kind of entertainment continually taking place in these institutions. It was just last Saturday that the Alpha Kappa Sorority held an "At Home" at the "Y". The A. K. A. s, as they are affectionately known, comprise some of the finest specimens of young womanhood in our group. Their paramount object seems to be to promote opportunities for female youth. These young women work when they work and play when they play. And they played at the tea! And so did the guests. Who could wish to be in the midst of more jocund company? Marion E. Turner and her mother and dad, Dr. and Mrs. John P. left today for Pittsburgh, where they are to be the guests of Dr. and Mr. Christian of the University, or to give me the chance or to two of galaxy for the very popular debt. Speaking of Marions, brings another dawn-eyed lady to our mind—Marion Hankins, of Virginia. Miss Hankins, who is a secretary-casher for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in her state, was in town last week. It was, to say the least, e pleasant surprise, see this attire, the blonde-haired "sunny south" our entertaining all work and no play makes the dull boy—so tis quite the jad for the younger men (these are not the very busiest of them, you are safe in betting on that!) to plane boxes of some ingenious apology for the street car and spend another wits ambitionless day in a friendly game of cards or checkers; however, the latter seems to be the more popular game. Does the race question harrow these minds? I am not wishing that we were not so hemmed in by old lady Conventionality, for you know one must not speak unless one has an introduction; therefore we are but intruders—or trespassers, or what you will—who only stand and watch, but do not Mrs. Essie Marie Potts, fashionable dancing instructor, is preparing herself for some strenuous work in the fall.

We went to Baltimore over the week-end and had the rare privilege of attending one of the regular Saturday afternoon meetings of the Afro-Club and you can't imagine what you missed all these years until you so fortune as to be attended one. Leaving this street of so much light, laughter, music (O, the mandolins, banjos, ukes and croonings play a great part) harmony and yes, delightful discord we ask for. That is we must go indoors, if we would get the true color of the inhabitants, the exterior of both the individuals and the abodes are, for the most part, cold and colorless. We must probe beneath to fathom the inner workings of the soul of that particular neighborhood. We are told these meetings go on rain or shine, matters not who's there or who isn't. We are told that we are well attended. The policy is "Business first, pleasure afterward." Each department gives a detailed report of the work of the week and compares same with the week's activities. It is then decided in the checking-up, it is almost uncomfortably detailed, for the particular individual concerned. . . . Much forethought is given to the quality of entertainment, and it is usually of the very finest. If this one is to be taken as a shining example!

Robinson In Ardmore Address PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Rev. J. G. Robinson, editor of The A. M. E. Church Review, a quarterly magazine published by the A. M. E. Church, in an address at Ardmore, Pa. July 22, scout Bishop E. C. Ransom for an address in New York advising a vote for 'Al Smith. Dr. Robinson said: "The report is almost unbelievable. I can't for my life, understand how any self-respecting Negro can give such advice to down trodden Negroes of this land. In fact, it is an anomaly to me, how ANY Negro self-respecting or otherwise, can respect the American ticket. I can easily understand, how Negroes in city elections, and State elections can vote for men, who are democrats; but, the democratic party of the nation, as a party has all along been the party to fetter Negroes and withhold from them those guarantees which go to make manhood and citizenship. As Smith ever so friendly to the Negro, but he can only show that friendly disposition as Mayor of New York City, or as the Governor of New York State. As President of the United States, should he be elected, he will be bound to carry policies of the solid democratic And thus he can be told to the Negro anything like the consideration which is reported to be accustomed to giving, as the governor of New York State. The democratic party is the party of Jeff Davis, of Arkansas; Ben Tillma, of South Carolina; James K. Vardaman, of Mississippi; James Shepherd, of Tennessee; Smith of Georgia, and of every other Negro of the South. I plead with the Negroes of the country to forget not the statement of the great Frederick Douglas, when he said: 'The Republican party is the Ship; all else is the sea.' "The wishes of the South wish to abrogate the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution; and will do more toward doing that. than Mr. Smith will do in his efforts to nullify the 18th amendment. In my opinion, it would not be overstretching the mark, to believe, that the democratic party in control, and the South in control, will disfranchise every Negro in the country.

"If the present democratic nominee should be elected, he will be Senator, Smith, Senator Joel T. Robinson, one of the worst Negro haters in the South, would become our President. How on earth can we ask us to support such a ticket?" PHILADELPHIA, (Special). — Rev. William A. Harrod preached Sunday morning on the "Religion of Rest and Action". "There are two kinds of religion which Jesus affords, the two streams they have a common origin but different apostolic directions. The one thinks of life as rest, the other as motion. "To the one type of persons he says, 'Come unto me and I will give you rest; to the other he says, 'I am the door.' "Jesus is most interesting to those as a door. His power is varied and adequate for every need to them who set out to make life an activity. When Jesus says 'I am the door,' he is a real door. And as long as he is the door you have a chance. "The people of my race do not use the open doors. What does it matter about eating in white restaurants, teaching in white classrooms, white people? Those are minor things. I am too busy entering the open doors to attempt to open them that are closed." (Rev. Harrod has taken the side of separate schools and institutions for Morgue and the Philadelphia school controversy). The First African Baptist Church was organized June, 1809, by a group of thirteen people who had withdrawn from the First Baptist Church (white). A period of more than a century the church has had no split; moved from an old site to the present building under the leadership of the Rev. Dr. William A. Credit in 1906 without any dissension. The loss of the church only a small number of pastors, a goodly portion of whom have been outstanding. Other churches have been built since the old First Baptist Church, but is unsurpassed among churches of the architecture. KILLED BY PICKHANDLERS PHILADELPHIA—Robert Clowney, 2005 N.

BEACH, In Chicago Post. NEW YORK-Is the 1928 T. 25 theatre destined to bring an epoch-making increase in Broadway panoply in American productions? Are theatrical musical comedies, revues and films of the not remote future to become less exclusively Caucasian, broadening down from precedent to precedent, until the twentieth-century stage reaches the status of interracial consanguinity where—to paraphrase and amplify the swansong metaphor of the lamented Florence Mills, Afro-American prima domestica, the whitebird and the blackbird, searching thru and beyond another beak of age-long dislike and prejudice she shattered the bluebird of happiness, the vestibule of the Temple of Thespis? Will London, as well as New York and Chicago, feel the workings of the latest born factor in modernist art? IN "SCANDALS" Page George White, architect of "Scandals," scintillating at the Apollo in a robe studded with every brilliant device of extravagance that ever sparkled in his dreams. "Yes, I would not be required to see a formidable colored invasion. No objections whatever in my quarter. May have a Negro in 'Scandals' yet. Don't get the notion that because my name is White I dislike dark meat. LOWE IN "GOIN' HOME" Mr. White uses a long-range telescope. How about yourself? Do all coons look alike to you? "Not to me," rejoins Brock Penberton, who is one of the white hopes of our native theater, despairingly awake with European culture. "Will edify Broadway with Leo's Goin' Home," and the leading role he has offered to James B. Lowe, who was Uncle Tom in the latest film of Mrs. Stowe's prose epic. "Not to me," rejoins Don Mullady, who is prominently in evidence at Wallace's with a three-act comedy, "Wanted," as far as the poles assailen from "Conscience." Many competent judges of farce insist that Mr. Mullady injects most of the cracker-jack humor of this thesis into the holes of two Negro mugs, one by Baton Rouge, with face but the ears, and a Dickie smile that wellhides all of her face but the ears, and a southern vernacular that Jeff Davis would have identified as inborn and ingrown. **LEW LESLIE'S BLACKBIRDS** "Not to me," says Lew Leslie, sponsoring *Blackbirds of 1928* at the Liberty, where crowded audiences watch the antics of Nubian performers in skirts with "Henry Goossy" and a dozen others quite as snappy. "Not to me," says Charles B. Cochran, renowned British impresario, who calls Mr. Leslie's entertainment the fastest I ever have seen, who introduced Florence Mills and the "Plantation company" to reviewers five years ago. "1927," was season. He characterizes in her line and may exploit her on the Thames almost simultaneously with his prespeent of "Porgy"—drama of the artistic darkness that can be felt. **IOHN BULL** John Bull like negrild sadly "Blackbirds of 1927" had a year's run in London. Miss Killie (Lady Peel) sat through the program and at the finale ejaculated: "Too bad Cleopatra didn't have a chance to invite Mark Anthony to see this Afric melange." And it was less than a fortnight ago when Paul Robeson—whose singing in "Show Boat" at Drury Lane theater with the company headed by Miss Edith Day is the strongest card in Mr. Zieffeld's hand—furnished proofs yet more convincing of the growth of Negro vogue in England's entertainment projects. Note the following from Samuel Dexter Hawley, British musician and dramatic critic: "Went to a Drury Lane theater to deliver his spirituals in the hysterical mood, prepared to soof. But instead of left to pray. The big house was jammed. Caruso or Chaliphan never could have drawn such a crowd. Robeson held everybody spellbound. Tell me, can a white man find and intone the secret of the 'spiritual'? Nothing we have had from the States this year has snared us so effectually as this singing blackamoor." CRITIC That the colored captains and kings in New York are preparing to take independent action and to stand on their own feet is indicated by the formation of the Majestic Theatrical Circuit, Inc. with Jack Goldberg in the saddle. The objective of the organization is to free the Negro slave from the domination of white owners and masters in footlight entertainments. Mr. Goldberg is not without experience and amusement have aroused the enthythmia of the chorus to was: "Audace, audace, audace." He and his associates are confident that they have not bitten off more than they can chew in their tentative arrangement for franchises at twenty theaters in carefully selected sections. A circuit of Negro theaters and a booking business—that is the goal. CHICAGO TOO "What about Chicago, Mr. Goldberg's guess. Here's the jocund answer to Negro? Why man, Chicago is the greatest Negro city in America, just as New York is the new and true Jerusalem." Hemsley Winfield, hitching his wagon to a group of colored stars, crashes forward with a program to lure Broadway to the Triangle theater, Greenwich Village, where the recently formed Wagner at the theatre, domiciled underage students, may trust Mr. Winfield's artistry artistically. Last month Miss Kathleen Kirkwood, once the priestess down below in the Triangle, organized a midnight performance at Wallack's of "Ten Nights in a Barroom," with all the characters in full Roman costume—helmets and togas and spears. **SOLID DRAMA** "How about a presentation of your artists, Mr. Winfield?" was easy. Here's the smilleless response: "Ask Frederick Warde. Irving is dead. So are Mantell and Booth. I'll take Warde's judgment. In our company are players who can do Desdemona, Emilia, Iago and the Moor. Why should the devil have all the good music? Why should the whites monopolize Shakespeare? If you think our 'spirituals' are O. K., why not give us a shoot at the theater?" **NIGGER RICH** Among the September offerings of the Messrs. Shubert will be John McGowan's "Nigger Rich." Does that adumbrate a new departure? Lew Leslie goes on record as pledged to unroll a colored revue annually in memory of Florence Mills. Will Nurse Cavell be memorialized more fittingly?

Naval Observer, 12:00 M. is almost universally used to designate 12:00 oclock noon. "M." in this connection is a abbreviation of "Meridian," derived from the word "meridies" during midnight. Midnight is properly designated 12:00 P. M. (Pos Meridian), but these abbreviations are confusing and should not be used. Because of the difference in usage some writers dispense with brevities, designating 12:00 midnight and write 12:00 Noon and 12:00 Midnight respectively. Why Is A Cop? "Cop" as applied to a policeman I supposed to be derived from the old English verb "to cop", meaning to catch, to get hold of, to nab. The old verb dates back to the latter part of the 17th century in England. It means "to catch", still of ten called "copper"; namely, on who cons or cops offenders. The CAREY GIBSON THREATENS TO SUE ROBINSON Near Riot Precipitated As Actors Refuse To Go On With Show. (BY ERNEST VARLACK) Of the controversy between John T. Gibson, owner of the Standard Theatre, and Clarence Robinson, who apparently at the playhouse during a wage dispute, were resounded here late Saturday night as both proclaimed with Gibson declaring that the showman had overdrawn his account and Robinson as assertive in contending that the theatre owner had contracted a man who was rung down with a fille house awaiting its entertainment. Oppose Mr. Gibson. Mr. Gibson asserted that his business had been injured and that he would sue the producer, while Gibson held himself a persecuted man. The theatre owner said in an in Paid Railroad Fares "I have Clarence Robinson the money to bring the show to Philadelphia prior to the show, and he drew money from me. Saturday I found that he had overdrawn, and that no money was coming to me. This and he told the members of his company some tale or other and they refused to work unless I paid him. I refused to do this; and said that if they would work I would give them a portion of the receipts. "The house was packed, and I offered my offer but refused. It I hurt my name as a theatrical producer to dispoint the people in the audience. It was a dirty trick and I intend to harm them." Accuses Gibson Interviewed at the Douglass Hotel, Glarence Robinson laid his troubles at the door of the theatre man. He said: "Mr. Gibson agreed in the contract that all salaries which amounted to $2300. Thursday night which is draw night he gave me $225 to divide among the people saying that was all he had in the house and he would not let the other man after the show. On Friday night he came back stage and gave me $100 more, and said that he didn't see how he could meet the payment very easily. And the members of company to wait until Saturday night and if Gibson didn't pay the balance of the salaries before the show I would not be responsible their money; and if they wanted to take his word they could continue Gibson Refuses "This they refused to do and Gibson pleaded with them and said that he would give them their money for the performance, but the tricked people performers before, my people insisted on not going on. 'After they had decided not to work, Gibson, his manager, on the stage and told the audience, that I owed the performers and that was why they wouldn't go on. At the end, the manager the stage and contradicted Dunson's statement. This firewhe the audience into an uprout, and yells came all the theatre. 'Several people shouted, that they knew that Gibson didn't pay the performers and that they didn't intend ever to come to the Standard Theatre. This made Gibson angry and he ordered all doors to be closed to his men not to allow me to get my scenery. I went to the front to see him about getting my trunks and scenery and the people of my company the worst possible names.

ARNOLD NOW HEADS BARTON'S PUBLICITY ARNOLD NOW HEADS BARTON'S PUBLICITY Has Handled Some Of The Most Successful Shows On Road NASHVILLE, Tenn. — W. R. (Billy) Arnold, who, for the past number of seasons, has occupied some of the most successful shows and publicity representative for the very best theatrical enterprises on tour, has been retained as advance publicity representative George L. Barron, Theoretical Attractor, Mr. Arnold was for something like a little over three years identified with the T. O. B. A., as director of the Broadway production, efforts, the publicity department of that large circuit was made popular. He has also filled a responsible publicity work for such representative for First National Pictures. In addition he did advance and publicity work for such representative for "The Birth of A Nation," "Hearts of the World," "Civilization and Intrance," "Salome" featuring Theda Carnegie and Gennett's "Yankee Doodle in Berlin." Mr. Arnold began his theatrical career in New Orleans, La. at the age of 16, during the season of 1889.

Mrs. Eulalia Fortune being the latest to leave. 'Blackbirds' Proves Season's High Flyer NEW YORK. (ANP)—"Blackbirds of 1928 are to be doing a gross business over the years," the Liberty Theatre compared with the $7,000 weekly houses of "Porgy." It is possible that the latter show will win them its Broadway run and take to the road. It was planned to go on the road in the fall, but the success of the show in New York kept it in the local houses thus far. However, "Blackbirds" is enjoying an immense success and looks to be continuing to produce so far. Margaret Beckett, lately with Ethel Waters, has just been added to the cast. Chicago is witnessing the nets of two headliners this week as Miller and Lyles perform to feature the offering at the Regal Theatre. Noble Stiele is heading his orchestra this week at the Ambassadeurs Theatre, Paris. THINGS THEATRICAL (By OBIE McCOLLUM) Silent Drama Speaks Mr. Joseph N. Weber, white, who is listed as chief and spokesman for the American Federation of theatrical业协会, has located, incidentally, for your Local 543, battle-cry against the "talking movies" or rather against the displacement of orchestras in the theatres in avow of "canned music" and "canned movies." The frank in stating that loss of jobs is one reason for his plaint, that music will lose its high artistic value and stages preparatory to giving presentation to the public. Two local white houses have recently installed the Vitaphone and Movietone, and others announce the availability of a sort of impetus to the general movement, one company, the Cortellone, claims to have a complete "talkie" to retail for $500, a string of a "fliver price," so to speak. Perhaps the one significant fact about this new sound device is that the Buck Jones Corporation will be able to know what but two gun-shurrier fans may have the added pleasure of hearing Buck's hefty right crash and the loudest attack him, and even the resounding smack of the fadeout kiss? Non-Commercial Indians Out in Idaho at the Fort Hall Indian reservation, some 50 Indian braves concluded a marathon dance Monday at sunrise. Started with men and then men continued without interruption (no 15-minute rests and doctors there) and the one apparently the strongest at the finish was declared the winner. The brothers, and their colored ones, too, who were motivated by the monetary rather than the religious spirit, the Indians neglected to charge admission and offer free meals. They forgot to stage a marriage or any other tried and proved crowd-getter. But, if you read all about the Indians, you will note that they gave up their long and much heralded physical prowess. George Steps Up George Bias, that's the boy whose molly voice has scored repeatedly and over WBBR broadcasting station, went up to New York last week. George's tenor was one of the attractions at the Lincoln Theatres, billed as "The Black Gene Austin." Comparing one's self with that nationally famous singer of America, he has a responsibility. George, however, has a voice with possibly more appeal than Mr. Austin, but he never earned the record of being as devoted to his art as the more noted singer. The lad, we learn, has recorded his voice with the Columbia penchant, and may not be the original George Bias rather than "Black Gene?" Q. For A Broadcaster The British Broadcasting Company, so the annual report for 1927 shows, earned $2,000,000 last year, and $1,000,000 last monopoly among - the Britshers, its figures would be small compared with radio earnings in America last year. They met an appreciable slice of the salary melon here, and new features are being added with them weekly, but as in most other endeavor, you are a worker only. One subsequent station in Liberia, and another under supervision of the Marines in Haytiy, your group is not represented among the operats. There's a task for some of the young hopefuls. One English lady, a member of parliament, is a large business for men. Going to one of these burlesque shows, or judging by some of these flapper styles, they also undress for them.

The ball was tagged and make it to the second station. Warfield going to first on the Mackee popped the "Scrappy" car Charleston, causing the sacks to out the SRO. Dallard. next man up took three healthy cuts at Yokely's fast shots, and the crisis was Daisies Threaten The Daisies threatened in the ninth when Mackey went to first on "Scrappy" Brown's second base, the second baseman's leg. Charleson walked and Dallard was out at first on his bunt to Jeffries. Brown's Brownton played in for the ball. Mackey going to third Joelton lifted a high one to Dixon in right elbow. Brown returned the ball so quickly to Clar. that Mackey had no chance to stray away from the bag. Stevens was out at first on his Freak Double Plays An interesting double play was made in the 10th inning. Cooper fanned and Briggs drew a pass. Warned field lifted a long fly to Dixon and when the ball landed in the outfielder's glove Briggs was rounding third base. Dixon tossed to first to complete the double play. Wether Briggs was thinking that two were out or taking a chance on Dixon's missing the ball is hard to judge. But either way he missed his guess. The Sox's one and only real chance to score came in the eleventh and here's how it happened. Jeffries walked, went to second on Dixon's single and advanced to the third station. Clark laid down a perfect bunt to first and Jeffries, on the hit and run signal was well on his way home. Cannady booted the ball, but even then it was too late as the Black Sox third baseman was on his way to the player's bench and the fans were swarming over the field. Yokely Fans Dozen The pitching of Yokely and Cooper was one of the most outstanding features of the game, both pitchers, fielding an even half dozen hits each, but with Yokely turning back to the 12.

SMEARS THE PASSING REVIEW THE LION'S SHARE of the spoils in the Progressive Tennis Club's open court, was a successful close on the Druid Hill Park courts. Saturday, went to Allison Davis, teacher and tennis player, who in addition to winning the men's singles was a winner of the other men's doubles team, but the tournament left for the other men's charge of the tournament. contestants are honored with honors with Davis was "Jack" Spencer, of Morgan, who with Davis won the crown in the men's doubles. Honors in men's division went to Miss Pauline and named them rightly, while the one who was runner up in the men's West, himself must go additional honor. singles Running off a tennis tourney is by no means the easiest job on earth and we feel sure that the officials in charge are a lot more than they were when they set about playing several weeks ago. The tournaments caused hitoshes here and would be eliminated in the next tournament which is scheduled to begin August 6. But for a benevolent weather man the local committee would have been faced with running the tournament into this week. Weather conditions were all wrong and play went through days during the week. "Gap" Dorsey and ready. And while we dealing out the congratulations a constructive suggestion or two comes to mind and we pass it along to the committee for use as they see fit in the coming closed city tournament. 1. Arranged all the players as far as possible all players present when drawings are made. 2. Matches should be started earlier, some to be run off in the morning. This is not such a hard job and could be used to great advantage in the juniors, especially. It will certainly expedite time. 3. Schedules should be made so that the maximum use can be made. All team members should be given a reasonable time in which to make their appearance on the courts on the DAY their match is scheduled. Failing to appear on that DAY the match should be declared defaulted. 5. Sideline coaching should be abolished. If so, selfishly, some provisions should be made for press representatives that they may keep in touch with the play, players, and officials better. As I stated at the outset, these constructive criticisms are offered in the most sincere spirit, and with the knowledge too, that a number of the veterans connected in an official capacity with tennis in Bali more have probably forgotten more about the game than I will ever You may recall that it has been this column's privilege to call attention to the lethargy in which tennis in Baltimore had fallen and to make a plea for fans to rally into a strong organization. week's tournament proved conclusively that interest in NIZMIZED tennis in the Monument City game in paying up membership in the Pro-Am club is the thing that is needed now. With the old Monumental body gracefully making its exit in the background, the new tennis club should have not less than 75 to 100 active members. And while speaking of the Monumental organization here's a bouquet to Dr. Rhetta, Rev. Walker, and Mr. McCard and their associates for the financial support as well as the unswerving interest they showed in helping put the tournament over. Let's rally around the city tournament, August 6th. G LOCAL BOXING PROMOTERS are going to run in a stone wall pretty soon if they don't watch their steps in ringing in professional fighters in amateur bouts. In this day of arguments about professionals and amateurs, mention of such a thing usually brings out the old horse laugh, and we are forced to admit that in a large number of cases the controversies are mostly to admit, but when you run into the state boxing commission on the amateur-pro business, take heed—there's trouble. The commissioners may wink at a few things, they might even wink at a major infraction, ONCE, but ringing in a fighter under one name to fight in an amateur bout early in the evening and then rushing him back under another name to fight in a pro bout on the same card, is a violation a little too flagrant for stout-hearted fistic fathers to ignore. We always hate to tread on this amateur-pro ground because we know what howls to expect, but in case some of the boys don't know about these things, which hardly seems plausible, we feel it our duty Boxing is one sport in which a pretty rigid line is drawn between amateur and professional performers. Boxing is a sport that calls for a well other boxer. In football, baseball, basketball, et cetera, the race athlete has pretty much his own way, but when it comes to the art of self defense he finds himself in a There's the howl that there really are no amateurs since it has been alleged that many so-called "experts" are not amateurs. Be that as it may, registration as an amateur, despite any clandestine exchange of the fifty lucre, gives a theoretical protection at least as long as no overt professional act One classification, however, is all that a boxer may fit into at one time, so that it is impossible to rightfully compete in both classes at once. It is also difficult to be useful in this matter and it wouldn't hurt promoters to take heed too. Better watch out, the commissioners'll get you. **OBSERVATION HAS TAUGHT** this custom, motorman a few things about swimming and as is our altruistic custom, here they come to you. First, be sure that when you go down town or to the bath house to get your suit that you secure one either on your back or on your knees, two sleeves should NOT fit you. Second, if you're at a beach, don't wear any bathing shoes. The pebbles will harden your feet for the next bunion derby or dance marathon. Don't pick out water four feet deep when learning to swim. Find the place where the water is about nine or ten feet deep. You'll have more room. Fourth, when diving be sure that your eyes, ears, and mouths are keen from missing anything. You won't. are the best. Fifth, don't believe the life guard is right when he tells you not to go so far out, but keep right on. Experience is the best teacher, anyway. SUNDAY BASEBALL, say what you may, has become a real institution in Baltimore, not that we haven't told you about it before. But pronouncements recently against the pastime on the Sabbath stir a reiteration of material that has been the most frequented crowds that have been following an amateur baseball in the Monumental City this season and only the person who has seen these crowds can appreciate their size and their enthusiasm. The gentlemen of the cloth who bray most loudly against this alleged desecration of the Sabbath have seen some of the fat collections that some of these teams have taken up, or possibly there are more unselfish reasons. With these gentlemen we have no argument either for or against the playing of baseball on Sunday. Every man is obliged to play. But frankly, some of the crowds at these baseball games I have seen are as orderly as, and in some instances more orderly than some congregations I have seen. And if memory serves me right I have seen, a parson or two elated when the team scoreed a run ON TEN. To get back to the purpose of this comment, however, I would suggest that before anyone jumps on Sunday baseball give the defendant a chance to speak. There might be some lessons in real living given out that might be worth listening to.

The Monarchs, who are ending their road trip with the present series at Detroit, will return to the home lot for a stay of three weeks. The Monarchs will play the club has played on the road, they appear dangerous contenders for the second half. They will play the Memphis Red Sox, the St. Louis Stars and the Chicago Stars before the road again. The St. Louis Stars will have to play better ball in the next three weeks than they have for the past three weeks in the second half. The Giants Dangerous. The American Giants seem to be playing better ball right now than they have at any time this season. They have been a bit tough and with the addition of Lem Hawkins, the former Monarch first sacker, they are going to be hard to beat. The Detroit Stars on paper have a great ball club, but, something seems to have happened since the second half started. Demos will have to get his club going in high hats; they will be considered contenders. Stars On Road The next two weeks find the St. Louis Stars on the road with two tough series. They play Chicago and Kansas City and they also play Chicago and Kansas City, but they have a great bearing upon the final results. Chicago ends the season at Kansas City and they never have done well in the Missouri City. No matter the second half, they are in for a real contest until the flag drops.

ALLISON DAVIS WINS OPEN TENNIS TITLE Defeats Alfred Walker In Three Straight Sets, 6-3; 6-3; 6-3, Saturday MISS WHARTON CHAMP Davis-Spencer Win Doubles Crown; Ed West Loses To Walker To Allison Davis, tennis player, teacher, and scholar, went two of the five presidents in the Progressive Tennis Club's open net tourney which came to a successful close on the Drudl Hill Park courts. Saturday afternoon, at sharing the spotlight with him was the youthful Alfred Walker, who only 14 years old, fought his way through to the runner-up position in the men's singles and carried off honour in the special junior invitation match. Miss Pauline Wharton, by defeating Mrs. D. A. Croll, on the course of her career, and Davis and "Jack" Spencer carried the laurels in the men's double each received, expressing a preference for something more utilitarian than a loving cup, was given a new tennis racket, and was fine showing in the junior singles. Weather Ideal Good weather favored the tournament, in which there were 31 entries in men's singles. 5 in the ladies' singles, 17 in the junior singles and 24 in the men's doubles. Of the smaller teams, of the matches few feared to be defaulted in all things considered, play went well in good shape. Walker Youthful Star One of the most outstanding features of the tournament was the play of Alfred Walker, a four-year player, who earned the league's singles until his defeat by Davis in the finals. Walker was also a member of the doubles team that survived the play until the final round. Playing with the steadiness of a mature seasoned player and exhibiting a remarkable control when faced with formidable opposition, young Walker drew much favorable comment from the media and the play. He defeated Rich Perkins, W. Pinderhughes, and A. Moore, all of his victories coming in straight sets and without any great amount to the limit, however, in his match with Allison Davis, and while unable to cope with the volley of shots, slices and cuts of the more seasoned player, made him closely manageable showing, receiving such Tries Hard Time after time Walker would duce the count only to see his advantage slip off the court and shot after pulling his opment out of position. Davis greatest weakness was his overhead return, which often enough to make it disastrous. Defeat was a bitter pill to the youth to swallow and tears streamed down his checks as he court, arm in arm with Davis. Upsets One of the biggest upsets of the week's play came in the men's doubles when they eliminated Alfred Moor and Don Wyatt, by defeating them two straight sets. 6-3: 6-4. Moore and Norton however, won the doubles, succeeding in two love sets. 6-0, 6-0. In the finals Jones and Walker fought hard but were outclassed by Davis and Spencer in three straight sets. 6-2, 6-4, 6-3. Pauline Wharton Champ Miss Pauline Wharton won easily from Mrs. Croil in the ladies' single finals, taking two straight sets 6-1, 6-0, her advantage never being Walker Beat West Ed West took the measure of Bobie Diggs in the finals in the junior singles, losing to strong to take the second and third sets. 6-10 and 6-1.

'The Old Toboggan' From the opening of the season. The team had been on top: But long about July the Fourth It started in to flop. The pitchers who had won with ease. Were falling in defeat; Missouri seated swiftly In a magnificent retreat. The sluggers who been hitting, Were popping puffy flies; The fans were raising thunder. With their fiendish, wolfish cries. From first they sank to seventh, In less than thirty minutes, Like a set of dubs, And awkward country jays. You can never figure baseball. It's a fickle, funny game; It takes but little slipping.

Norman, executive secretary of the American Tennis Association, the national body which organizes the men's doubles group, has just released the annual bulletin of the Association which contains the program of the national championships to be held August 20-25, at Bordentown N. J. This event is by no means a new affair in New Jersey, for in 1925 Bordentown was once before the scene of the 1925 championships, Thompson, of Washington, present holder of the men's national title, defeated Edgar Brown, of Indianapolis, in what was then a startling upstart. Ballard, Philadelphia, a seventeen-year-old high school girl, overcame Isadore Channels of Chicago to win the title which she also holds at present. Other national titles include Ted Thompson and Tally Holmes, perennial men's doubles champions; Louis Jones and Blanche Winston, mixed doubles monarchs, Miss Ballard and Ora Washington, women's doubles champions. Dark Horses All these champions are favored to retain their titles, but they must wade through stern opposition to accomplish such a feat. In the path of Thompson looms the threatening threat of the courts, once national champion and three times runner-up, whose game this year shows a power and accuracy never before attained. The court's two contenders two strong contenders in the Worcester brothers, of Elizabeth Kenneth and Solomon, while Downing, of Virginia, and Hudlin, of St. Louis, are likewise to be considered. Big Three Among Us In the big three of college it can be hard to see how any player can hope to pass the tri-mi-virate of Miss Ballard, Miss Washington, and Miss Alabama to the title-match come through to the title. Miss Washington is the winner of the recent New England Opener and Miss Alabama was defeated in the quarter finals by Mrs. Gritten, of New York. The junior title is again conceded to Douglas go, whose strongest opponent will doubleshe Reggie Wier, of New City. Negro tennis fans find in the title game a hope that tennis among colored players will in the near future approach that of the world's outstanding players. They are enjoying the advantages of expert coaching, and through their play on school and college teams are meeting players of ranking in U.

Peter Jackson Greatest Heavy Ever To Draw On Gloves Sixty-One Round Draw With Corbett Recalled—Jackson's Greatest Disappointment Cited As Drawing Of Color Line By John L. Sullivan (William Muffet in Bello Sun) "Bil Jackson, in the writer's opinion the best heavyweight that ever drew on a glove, was a long-shoreman before he took up the fight-ing game and became a regular at the Iron Fox and a good friend of Jack the Ripper." "In the first year of his fighting career Jackson carried all before him, but the following year he met with Corbett, Jim Smith at Bruges, in minor battles in Chicago, both of which he won. Jackson had no big engagement from the time of the Corbett draw until he met Frank Sporrington at the Sporting Club in London. This bout presented the peculiar spectacle of London lighting for the championship of England." Slavin had earned that title by beating the muscle-bound English champion, Jim Smith at Bruges, in Touched With His Man "For nine rounds it was fast fighting, action all the time. Slavin game-trying to get past, the Negro's cruel left that was in punishment with mark, punishment with mark, finishing and boring in again. Only once did the punch-drunk Slavin attempt to fall into a clinch. Then he met with the same ease with which Jack Johnson handled Jim Jeffries at Reno and sent him to the canvas with a right-handed shot. Then with the same ease did Jackson begin to use his right. And in the tenth, propping his man into position with his left, Jackson shot, over a right that finished with Wins English Crown With the exception of a couple of Louis Hackerman 1731-33 Penna.

For the first two rounds Jackson made Farnan look like a notice; but in the third round the big blacksmith got in a crushing right which broke two of Jackson's ribs and settled the fight. That day between Jackson, 31 years old and simply a shell, suffered the only other defeat in his life, when Jim Jefferies knocked him out in San Francisco. "Made Pete Careful" "That rib-cracking wallop in Williamstown had made Peter particularly careful and when he met Farnan for the second time, he had little chance to repeat the operation, getting there first with a powerful left that would have knocked the head off anyone less sturdy than Farnan. Because the winner when the police interfered. John L. Drew Color Line John L. Drew, a body who cared to face him in Australia that Jackson, on the advice of Thompson, came to America and fought in the war years under the management of Fitzpatrick. All his fights here were either victories or him or wounds. He was a lifelong life when John L. Sullivan stubbornly drew the color line and refused to meet him. That Sixty-One Round Corbett Fight "There was nothing to do but return to Australia to fall off there and, after a draw bout with Joe Goddard, Jackson returned to San Francisco, where his memorable sixty-one round draw with Corbett about this fight, most of it praising Corbett's ability in standing off so formidable an opponent, and some of it in declaring Jackson an overrated player that was told me by Eddie Graney: "About a week before the fight Jackson was thrown out of a buggy. His ankle was sprained and he was possible to avoid a postponement. That would have a meant a forfeit. There was good deal of betting on me, but I were on the anxious seat for several days, but kept the news of the accident quiet so as to give the bigger better chance to recover. Money was money. However, drastic remedies brought about sufficient recovery to avoid the postponement. Orders were issued to Jackson to save the injury, but he got to go after corbett. Everybody knows that his speedy footwork was always one of Corbett's chief assets. He was a very fast man, so Jackson's handcap, unprotected, circumstances, may be easily imputed. The first time at bat at Oscar Charleston, the home-run king, fanned. He did not get a hit during the game, as he did in his subsequent appearances at bat. Among Yokely's strikeout victims Sunday were Charleston, Charleston, Charleston, Camnandy, Mackey and Dallard. Stevens and Cooper whiffed twice each, while Dallard teamed the air three times. Dallard fooled the fans, however, in his last time at bat, by rapping out a single, but the rally he began was soon nipped in the bud. Briggs was the only player on the Hilldale team that Yokely didn't fan. Lindsey, Brown and Kokely were the Sox who bowed to the shoots of the mighty Cooper. Both pitchers hurled wonderful ball in the first game, each yielding six hits, none of them being for extra bases. Dixon's strong arm stood him in great stead in the first game, but he missed the ninth that made Mackey hug the bag when a run meant the game. Yokely tok Dallard for a good thing in the pinches, walking the heavy hitters and "laying for" the Hildale outfielder—just so he could fan him. Jeffries played a nice game at third, fielding, hitting and running the bases, for it was that even then the fans knew that the "Babe" wasn't there. Wilson's hand is still giving him trouble. "Uncle Ben" Taylor watched the game from the sidelines. Eggleton filling in at the first station. When Johnson's bat touched the ball in the fifth the ball rolled inside the foul line just a few feet away from the plate. Clark recovered the ball and tagged the bewildered third baseman out and the impulse of clared it, despite Hildale's protests. What looked like an error on "Scrapy" Brown's part was called the official scorer, the official scorer the ball going directly between the second sacker's legs without his touching it. The only errors of the game were charged up to Eggleton and Cannady, first sackers for their respect, and the second for stepping off the bag receiving a throw from Jeffries, while Cannady came when he muffed Clark's grounder to the elevator.

Hootch To the average tourist this section of the Quaker City is just one where black and tan mixes. There are a few 'hootch' joints and gambling dens where the ward bosses meet their henchmen and nay off; but for real excitement, there is none. Occasionally there is a murder to let the folks know that there are still a few 'bad men' in town. Before the War, South Philadelphia was different. Then came the influx from the South, bringing southern customs. The old Philadelphia's fled to the outlying districts, leaving that section for the newcomers. On Lombard street, an old lady who has lived in the neighborhood around Tenth street since back in the 'seventies', told me that all the well-do-to folks lived on it. In fact, only people with money. Of course, that was back in the older days. Now at the present time less than a half-dozen early settlers live on that street. It is now filled with newcomers who have let the once up-to-date street of fine homes run down at the heel. The Standard Ameng the old relics of South Philadelphia now standing is Gibbons, the original South Lear Twelfth. Built back in the early days of drama-dam, the house now stands as one of the most famous theaters from showing some of the first movies made in America, there is also daily, a musical revue offered by such companies as 'Drake and Walking', 'The Susie' and a score of others. The Royal Further up on South street, is the Royal Theatre, a house owned by oafs. The featured attraction there is Thomas "Fats" Waller, one of the original owners of the theatre. For further entertainment one must take a stroll over to Market street, where all the big oafy houses are located. Segregation, which is against the law in this state, is shattered in some of the latter houses. Restaurants Another thing the Philadelphiaians boast of is their ability to eat at the big restaurants down town. Horn and Hardt, a company which specializes calling houses with de luxe service, seems to be the pick among our folks. Of course, Child's is here, but the air one gets upon entering one of the places is a little reminder that your money is not needed. The Marion Tea Room and the Citizens Hotel cafe are among our more up-to-date restaurants.

Walter White Tells Of Many Notables Among Colored People Who Passed Over To The Other Side. He Estimates 5,000 Cross The Color Line Each Year. Many So Called White Families Are Of Mixed Blood. There is no more amusing or tragic or drama-provoking manifestation of race or color prejudice in these United States than the phenomenon of "passing" or "crossing over the line" by Negroes whose skin is light enough in color to permit them to be of African descent. Bishop Isiah the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, addressing the annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at Los Angeles, ventured the guess that upward of 5.000 Negroes forget their Negro blood every year and become to all intents and purposes white men in every other way. There are many who think the Bishop's estimate far too modest. No one knows nor can one know the exact number—the nearest one can come to accuracy is by studying the decennial reports of the Census Bureau, estimating the number of malatoes, quadroons, octaroons and other mixed bloods which normally would result from the marriages of mixed bloods with each other or from a mixed blood with one unimixed in blood whether Negro or white. c then guessing the whereabouts the shortage—the discrepancy between the number of light-skinned Negroes one ought to find and the number one actually finds. The Restlessly Obviously, such figures would be of little scientific or statistical value, for at best, considering the many factors and especially the impossibility of determining the number of illicit relations between white and Negro persons, any such figures would depend largely on the personal slant of the one who made the estimate. I myself pretend to exact knowledge. Yet has been my experience many times in travelings to the United States and abroad to encounter Negroes who are "passing." X was born. I believe, either in Texas or Mississippi. Little was known of his parentage or of his life until he appeared in the late ninies in New York. He was magnificently built, over six feet in height, with not a superhuman strength. His skin was white, swarthiness, that a dark brown, inclined curviness. He had no difficulty among Negroes in so far as race was concerned, for that he was a Negro was to them beyond doubt.

Strolling down a shady lane "hand-holding" has a special kick when the hand is holding a Koester sandwich (C) 1923. Carroll Jo KOESTER'S IS A MOTHER'S DUTY! (Walter White in N. Y. World) tragic tion of these menon for the light item to mon of con- lation colored and the Negroes year pur- monally are esti- tled know at one judging mixture and climate, hold many were and are as dark or darker than X but who are "white." The chief characteristic of X was his restless ambition for which the Negro world of New York at that time offered little outlet. Soon Negro New York saw X no more—like many others he had "crossed over the line." A few years later he formed certain connections which led to his being sent with another man in an atmospheric mission to a foreign country which involved a very considerable sum of money. One night after X had retired there came a cry of "Man overboard." The ship was stopped, a search was made but to no avail. It was X's superior who had disappeared. No one ever knew whether it was a case of suicide or of four play. X, however, proceeded to an ambitious completion with great success, returned from his accomplishment. Having a gift for finance, X took the money he received and began speculating in Wall Street. Fortune alternately smiled and frowned upon him—he won and lost many sizable fortunes. Immediately, X presented the same countenance and appearance to the world. Had he chosen the stage or gambling with cards instead of stocks, his imperturbable savoir faire would have doubtless brought him equal success. He was always immaculate and his taller was one of the best in New York. That Worked On one occasion X was obliged to go to Texas in connection with some oil wells in which he had invested heavily. He bought Pullman accommodations from New York to his objective in Texas. The trip was uneventful until the train was passing through Arkansas where an unwritten law decrees that no Negroes, no matter how clean he was, were educated in or in Pullman. (I if have frequently ridden in Pullman cars in Arkansas, on some of the trips preferring to be Nc where to escape aromas of banana skins, fried food, and those arising when coats and shoes were doffed because of the heat—but then, my skin is white.) X, being more swart of skin, attracted the attention of other passengers who feared that the suspicion he made that his coat and that something or other might happen to "white supremacy" if X remained in the seat for which he had paid. There were passings and re-passings, and rigid scrutiny of X's face. all of which he blainly ignored. At last the inquisitive passengers became certain that X was really a Negro. X was surreptitiously warned by the porter that a telegram had been sent ahead to the Sheriff to meet the train and take X off of it. The train pulled slowly into the station where a huge crowd was there, the entire center of the assemblage of the Sheriff. X did wait. He calmly strode through the train and as it came to a stop swung down to the ground. Past the startled Sheriff X walked, the crowd in its astonishment opening a path for him. Into the waiting room with the sign over the door, "For White," he walked, demanding of the ticket agent a telegraph blank. He seemed to be in awe, which he in at him from the open doorway and through the window. Imperturable as though he were safe in New York, he wrote a telegram to the Governor of the State informing him that there had been threats to take him off the train, reminding the Governor that he would be held to account that he would be bound by the nature and importance of the mission on which X was engaged, and hinting of all manner of evil consequences to those who might inconvenience or annoy X. To the startled ticket agent X tossed the completed message, curtly ordering that it be sent collect. Lighting a cigar as the clerk read train, the rowd once again opening a path for him. The exact text of the telegram quickly spread. Most convincing was the note of bravado in sending it collect. Hesistant, the crowd headed by the Sheriff stood gaping at X who sat in full view placidly reading a magazine. After a long delay the Sheriff slowly plied his hand. The Sheriff could make up his mind as to whether he dared arrest X. And the train was well out of the State before a puzzled Governor finally concluded that he had never heard of the man whose name was signed to the disturbing message on the yellow form. Athlete A Famous Y's fame and wealth have come to him by means of exceptional prowess as an athlete. His picture has appeared in newspapers sections and rotogravure sheets of newspapers in every part of the United States. One of Y's closest friends is a young Negro, the son of a physician in a Northern city. Frequently this young man and Y go hunting or fishing together. On one of these trips they plodded homeward, guns loosely held in the crooks of their arms. They talked of many things. In some fashion the question of race arose. "What are you anyway?" Y asked. "Oh, I have some white blood, some Indian, and some Negro," his companion replied. "Same here," answered Y. "except that, so far as I know, I have no Indian blood." Negroes are not particularly anxious to claim some of their own who have achieved eminence in politics. One of these was, not many years since, a candidate for a certain very high office. A group of Negroes rented a house that his attitude would be if elected, on certain legislation deemed by them of vital importance to Negroes. The candidate was evasive. Efforts to obtain a clear-cut statement from him were without success. Nettled, one of the inquirers who had known the candidate for many years remitted the money to cause him to be interested in the matters being discussed. The candidate put aside his vastness and answered: "That's just the point. You men know how my Negro blood has been the subject of attack upon me before. It is likely that it'll crop up in the coming campaign. The charge might come against me—it would certainly do so if I came out in too strong a statement on behalf of justice for the Negro. Don't hanstring me, boys, before the race starts. Let me get into office and then I'll be in a position really to do something big for colored people. And I promise that's what holy I will do something big." Negroes did support the candidate. He was elected. And he did not a whitmore for his people than any of the white men who had held that exalted office before him. **Heroing** Herod The politician's case just related is typical of many Negroes who cross the line—in many instances they out-Heroed Herod in seeking to prove their "whiteness" by going out of their way to harm other Negroes. I have in mind a certain actor who seldom, if ever, missed an opportunity to voice hatred and con- At ages be- a Ne- warned mom had drift to off of her was assem- did not. With the swim started in its forth with White. ticket seemed peered doorway peeled in New to the giving him to take g the tempt for "niggers." A few years argo this ex-Negro played the lea- ding masculine role in a successful Broadway play. A very attractive colored girl was the maid of the fem- ale star. Whenever she happened to pass near the former colored man he would in a loud voice certain to reach her head to speak contem- ptuously of "niggers." So mark- ed was his attitude and so unplea- ant for the colored girl that she thought seriously for a time of quit- ting. One night, however, she hap- pened to encounter the man, who didn't speak to him. I think you could get by without such vehement protestation of your whiteness." "What do you mean? he challenged her, sharply—so sharply she knew her remark had gone home. "Oh, nothing much. I merely thought that if you continued em- phasizing your hatred of Negroes one else might suspect some- thing." Don't Make a Toy Out of Baby —Babies Have Nerves By RUTH BRITTAIN Much of the nervousness in older children can be traced to the over- stimulation during infancy, caused by regarding baby as a sort of an- imated toy for the amusement of parents. May they play with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to hour daily. Beyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomiting, and invariably causes irrita- tion "pain or seclusion." Effortless crying, and sleepless- She had no further trouble, nor was she embarrassed by having to listen to any more diatribes of Negrophobia from the actor. But of all professions, it must be said, there are none in which there is less prejudice than among stage folk. The Man Who Could Tell I believe I have told the story before, but perhaps it will stand repetition. This story related to the native notion that by one's finger-nails one can detect the presence of any amount of Negro blood, no matter how small the amount may be. I was on a train in Georgia. It was a fearfully hot day. In the chair two children, noisy and liberally bestuck with candy, were enjoying themselves by running over the feet of other passengers and making of themselves pests and nuisances. I sought and found refuge for a few miles in the smoking compartment. My seclusion was short-lived, for at a small station a garrulous peach grower took the seat opposite me. Immediately he began a conversation which the heat did not induce me to foster. He told me how many acres of peach trees he owned, how many crates he expected to ship that year, how many "niggers" he employed and how generally worthless they were unless watched constantly, and many, many other things about himself. Receiving little encouragement to continue his recital, my vis-a-vis began asking questions about my own life, undiscouraged apparently by my lack of enthusiasm. When in answer to his question of whence I came, I told him New York, he instantly assumed that I knew nothing of the South or of Negroes. On and on he went, telling me how "niggers must be kept in their place," that "God Almighty made us white wolfs superior and we would impose commands if we don't assert our superiority" (he was a bit vague when I gently inquired for exact information from God to white folks) and much more of the same bland assertions. The wolfs were rather larger than those at which it had stopped every few miles. Toward the rear end of the platform stood the whites: up front by the the "Jim Crow" car next the engine stood the Negroes. Among them were much lighter in color than the rest. The Famous Finger-nail Test "Mister, I wish you look at them yaller niggers out there." my companion remarked. "You know the, getting overrun with yaller niggers." In charity I resisted the impulse to ask the method of this increase in view of the frequent and vehement assertion in the South of the natural repulsion between the races. "Some of 'en's so white you can hardly tell 'em from white," he added. How can you tell them from white?" I asked. "I've seen lots of colored people so fair I never knew they had Negro blood until I was told so." "Oh, that's easy — dead easy," the sub-Potomac biologist remarked with a laugh. "There's lots of ways to tell a white niger from a white man I can tell 'em by their hair, by their eyes, by feeling their noses to see if there's a split in 'em — you know that's man's guts. I can tell a split in his nose. But there's one test that never fails—the finer-nails." He took my hand, palm downward, in his. "Now, if you had a single drop of nigger blood in you, you'd have a dark blue or purple circle right here at the base of your nails. But you see, you have white — so you aren't circle. His triumph seemed a bit less than complete as I grinned cheerfully at him and said nothing.

Don't Make a Toy Out of Baby —Babies Have Nerves BY BUTH BRITTAIN Much of the nervousness in older children than in younger ones overstimulation during infancy, caused by regarding baby as a sort of animated toy for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby has been less than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond that, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in irritability, crying or sleepiness. Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you can see what is making baby restless or upset, better give him a few drops of pure, hardcastoria. It's amazing to see how quickly it calms baby's nerves and soothes him to sleep. It is also useful for opiates. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper. Leading physicians describe it for colic, cholera, diarrhea, constipation, gas on stomach and wounds, feverishness, sores and all other "upsetness" of babyhood. Over 25 million bottles used a year shows its overwhelming popularity. With each bottle of Castoria, you get a book on Motherhood, worth its weight in gold. Chas H. Fletcher's signature on the package so you'll get genuine Castoria. There are many imitations. ation dragged a bit after that episode. The Cast Of the Lyes Last winter a somewhat similar experience was mine. Living in Southern France while doing some writing, I had had correspondence with Sir Arthur Keith, the President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, relative to some work on which I was then gaged. Sir Arthur asked me to come see him when I went a little later to London to discuss the matters about which we had corresponded. As I entered his study Sir Arthur looked steadily at me for some time. "There's only one way by which: I can tell you have Negro blood," the distinguished scientist said, after a pause. "What is it?" I asked. "I would like to know this test. It would be a profitable and interesting possession, especially in the United States." "It's something in the cast of your eyes." "Oh that hard to say," and his "On that hard with their slender fingers waved vaguely in the air. 'If you hadn't told me in your letters you had Negro blood I would never have imagined I saw anything to indicate your Negro blood. I knew in advance you did have Negro blood—so I think I see something there." He paused for a minute or two. "Seeing something that's not there—that's a prejudice on my part," he ended with a dry laugh. "Tell me about the book you're writing." The Problem In All Its Phases Comedy — tragedy — all the elements of drama and of melodrama are present in this question of "passing". Individuals with perhaps 5 or 10 per cent. of Negro blood and all the rest of white blood are forced by a friendship to resent the manner of deception to live free from the inconveniences which accompany a dark skin in these United States. A wise friend of mine once remarked that "if only white people had the sense of humor they're always boasting about thered be no race problem in United States, but in African laughed himself to death at his own absurdities." Tragedy, or at least tragic circumstances affecting the Negro, however, do arise from the loss that race suffers through prejudice driving many light-skinned and talented individuals across the country, and great increased regard for the Negro which has come within recent years through the work of Paul Robeson, James Weldon Johnson, Countee Cullen, Florence Mills, Roland Hayes, W. E. B. DuBois and a host of others, one can but wonder how record if the Negro had to record it the credit of all those of genius who, consciously or unconsciously, were "passing". The stream of stories is endless. Many white people nourish the naive conceit that Negroes who "pass" do so solely because of the desire to be white. The same cause causes them to launch the use of skin whiteners and hair straighteners by colored people. Neither of these is true.

Be careful in pushing back the cuticle on the nail that the air does not get under it. This takes away the nourishment and causes the white spots. bars most of the doors of opportunity, the majority of those who cross the line do simply because they tried of the barriers, or iteration and reiteration of the phrases: "You are fitted to do the work we require but we can't employ Negroes — our clientele would object." I know of many cases, and so does every other Negro, of men and women, many of them wealthy and famous, who have turned their backs on their Negro blood and got forth to their things, for which their abilities fit them. And who can abolish blame them? Finally, there are those who are "passing" and don't know it. With all the mixing of blood of the past three centuries of U.S. history, the countless numbers who have Negro blood of which they are unaware. A Virginia pianist of distinction a few years ago became fanatical on the subject of intermixture, delved into the histories of many, and appalled that he found. And in another Southern State a very notorious Negro-batter and "statesman" killed a bill in his State Legislature which would have classified as a Negro every person who possessed a Negro identity.

ANNOLD HILL Industrial Relations Secretary, Urban League New York NEW YORK—June proved an ordinary month in employment activities. Denver A few instances reflect the activities among Negroes. The chief sign of progress was the apparent awakening of individuals in several cities to the need to work for the need to make effective appeals to employers for jobs. The Colored Negro Voter's Advisory Association of Denver, taking advantage of political opportunities, also contributed particularly in Colorado has asked employers to give men and women jobs in positions that have been closed to them. Cambridge The Economic and Industrial Association of Campbells Citizens of Dayton protesting against the failure of the shops there to employ over 100 people in the situation, and a survey is being made to determine the extent of the prob- 2000 Work In N. C. two thousand additional Negroes went to work in Winston-Salem, N.C. in a warehouse, N.J. in a job, J.Reynolds Company which closed up factories in Jersey City and Richmond, Va. when the new buildings were built in Portland, Oregon there is hope for the employment of a colored policewomen now that a volunteer has been appointed as a forerunner of a salaried officer. Baltimore In Baltimore where costs of buildings planned or in process of construction run into many millions, unemployment is said to have been tiered 75 per cent, and there are included among those working in building construction Camp Meade barracks not far removed from Baltimore are under construction and common labor mostly Negro, is being rapidly abol Philadelphia Philadelphia reports a lessening of its unemployment because of new hiring, acquiring are using quantities of Negro labor. Newark and Fort Wayne make similar notations. In Pine Grove, workers installed in the Nash body plant and more favorable conditions have been put in operation for Negro skilled workers. Colored hotel workers were replaced by white workers in a hotel Jefferson, in the north of Illinois. In the shift from union to non-union employees, contractors in Lexington, Kentucky, acquired of a fewer number of Negro workers. It gave rise to considerable speculation as to whether or not unemployment was increasing or declining, and showed signs of continued prosperity in industry, but the picture changed in June although the monarch also lost his office and automatic production would rank high.

Assets Rose From $300 To $300,000 In 7 Years Mutual Building And Loan Association Of Durham Had Phenomenal Rise DURHAM, N.

Seven Years The association began its existence seven years ago when half a dozen investors put together the motive: sum of $300. This year the audit shows that it has a total asset of $307,337.07. Of this amount $291,600 has been loaned in real estate belonging to the group. DINING CAR WORKER ADJUST GRIEVANCE Union Heads Confer With ficials Of Southern Rail System A recent report of the secretary shows that the number of shareholders now is 415 and the number of employees is $1,500. Some idea of the efficiency and economy practised by the officers of this organization may be gleaned from the fact that it is operated by just two people, Frank McCoy and Boble Clark. The officers whose genius and mutual interest guide it are: C. C. Spaulding, President; Clyde Donnelly, W. H. Wilson and J. A. Love, Vice-President; R. L. McDougal, Treasurer; Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore, whose contribution to business, school and church life of Durham have been significant, is also among those who help to make the association a Typical Association The Mutual Building and Loan Association has not only been a successful concern but is typical of what a small group can do to build up a community, assist in home ownership and progress. LIBERIANS ARE NOW GROWING PRODUCE Cotton, Cabbage, Pineapples And Beans Being Raised On Experimental Farm MONROVIA, Liberia. — With a 1,000 acre experimental farm as a centre and nucleus, the Liberian Government is pushing plans to make that country a rich source of Seeds and plants from all tropical and semi-tropical regions of the world are being brought to the farm. The government is ready demonstrated that the soil and climate of Liberia can produce excellent crops, chiefly rubber, pineapples, cotton, coffee, bananas, ginger, rice, cocoanuts, sugar cane and Wild Cotton Besides ginger imported from China, beans, sweet and Irish potatoes from the United States, American cotton is being experimented with. While wild cotton grows everywhere in the country in great profusion, the raising of it has been designed to increase both the yield and quality and made this one of the most profitable industries. The natives clean it by hand and bleach it to remove the dirt. The yarn dyes with native dyes—blue from the indigo plant, orange red from the juice of the Orleans plant and brown from various grasses. The yarn is woven in native or hybrid yarns in limited hand looms, usually in blue and white stripes, as the looms permit only the weaving of narrow strips. The cloth is used by the natives in the markets as are necessary in his home. In the northwestern part of Liberia cotton is fairly extensively grown, although up to present day it is only grown on cotton only along the edge of the transportation. Cotton plantations in Liberia would be a good investment for any farmer, providing a fair profit within a short time. MARYLAND SOUTH BERLIN, Md.-Services at Tyreese A. M. E. Church and New Bethel M.

Howard Payne, last week. Mrs. Cooper declares in her bill, that she was married on July 21, 1926, and that she lived with her husband until nearly a year ago when he refused to let her live in their home. Mrs. Cooper declared, that by threats of violence Cooper has prevented her from returning and living with him as his wife. Mrs. Cooper declared that since her marriage she has been a faithful, affectionate and chaste wife and her conduct has been above reproach. Cooper has not contributed anything towards her support in keeping with his salary. He is a clerk in the Baltimore City Post Office earning a salary stated at $50 per week. Cooper is claimed to have left his wife without means of support except from her own labor. At the present time, she contends, she is destitute and without means. She requests that the Circuit Court set a specific amount of alimony to be paid during the pendency of the suit. She also asks counsel fees. The Coopers were married at one of the church's fashionable weddings at St. Mary's Church. Their wedding was one of the outstanding social events of the 1926 season. Y. M. C. A.

Taxpayers Attention Avoid Last Minute Rush By Paying Your Taxes NOW Interest and penalty charges are accruing on your 1928 tax bill and these additional charges must be collected if your current taxes are not paid on or before July 31, 1928. Office open until 3 P.M. Saturday July 28, 1928 In the very near future certain banks in Baltimore will assist the Bureau of Receipts in collecting taxes. The taxpayer may pay his entire bill at the Bureau of Receipts, or at any of the designated banks. In addition to this, taxes may be paid at the banks in weekly payments over a given period of time, so that the entire amount of the bill will be in the hands of the bank by July 1st each year; thereby saving the taxpayer interest and penalty additions.
