Charges Reported Sent To Bishop Gaines. Girl Hiding In Baltimore
President G. A. Edwards, of Kittrell College; Kittrell, N. C., forwarded his resignation to Bishop A. L. Gaines, in Baltimore, Wednesday. He gave as his reason that the recent vote of the trustee board indicates that he did not have its united support.
RALEIGH, N. C.—Misses Grace and Angie Neal, former students of Kittrell College filed charges of paternity against two pastors in this state.
Charges first became known when the father of the two girls appeared in Raleigh yesterday after having wired one of the ministers, pastor of an A. M. E. Church in Wilmington, N. C. to meet him here.
This pastor failed to show up although a letter said to have been signed by him in which he acknowledged responsibility of the girl's condition and agreed to do anything and everything in his power to satisfy the father, was placed in the father's hands when he reached Raleigh and in addition, $300 to look after the addition.
The mother of the girls died when they were small and the father is a hard working insurance agent with the North Carolina Mutual.
A child was born to Angle, 19, last April. She alleged that a college president and former pastor is the father of her child. She is reported now as hiding in Baltimore.
Grace, the younger, 17, has accused the Wilmington pastor.
Serious charges involving the officials of Kittrell College were made last year by a teacher and a student appalled to resign.
President G. A. Edwards was only
relected this year by a vote of 28 to
24 by trustees.
Charges of the girls are reported
to have been forwarded to Bishop
A. L. Gaines in Baltimore, in charge
of the Second Episcopal District of
the A. M. E. Church.

Finley Wilson, Elk Leader To Stump For Smith
Patriotic Duty To Desert Hoover And The Ku Klux Klan He Declares
NEW YORK. — J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, has joined the ranks of Smith supporters for President.
He will speak in the interest of the Democratic nominee during the rest of the campaign. In a letter to Julian D. Rainey, Chairman of Organization of the Smith-for-President Colored League, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson makes the following statement:
"The failure of the present day leadership in the Republican party to adhere to the traditions of that party impels me to write you and inform you that I favor the election of Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York for the Presidency. The Republican party of today, with its self-sustaining control of it, makes it impossible for any self-respecting colored voter to support Herbert Hoover for the Presidency.

The present day Republican party is bent on the elimination of Negroes from party leadership. It is a matter of common knowledge that at the time of the Civil War, the Klux Klan such Negro leaders as Perry Howard of Mississippi; S. D. McGill, of Florida; Bill McDonald, of Texas; Ben Davys, of Georgia; Walter Cohen, of Virginia; anna were eliminated from party members.

The killing occurred after a chase which began in front of Mrs. Weeden's home from which Polit ran as the officers approached.
In a report officer Wise declared that calling upon him to stop, Polit fired four shots at them and in return, he Wise, fired a shot to halt the fleeing man. At this time he en-

Assurance
HATTIESBURG, MISS.
—Herbert C. Hoover is entirely sympathetic with the South on the race question and in full accord with the policy to eliminate all Negroes from leadership, asserts T. 0. Willis, one of the leading exponents of Lily-Whiteism.
In support of this claim, Willis says that the Kansas City Convention former Senator Irvine Lennox of Wisconsin, gave him the following message from the Republican Presidential nomine:
"You tell Mr. Willis and others representing the white groups that after my nomination, if I am nominated, the Negro leaders will be replaced by white men. We are going to have a white Republican party in the South."
Willis' Version
Here is Willis' version of what happened at Kansas City with Mr. Hoover in the background: "When Pey Howard and his delegates arrived in Kansas City they were lined up with Mr. Butler of Massachusetts and Hilles of New York, who were leaders in the fight against the oppressive authority of Mr. Hoover. Butler controlled the entire delegation from his State, while Hilles had half of New York's vote in his pocket, but not been seated and we were up there to fight the recognition and prepared to cast our full strength for Hoover.

"Hoover is entirely in sympathy with the South on the race question, since he has lived in California, where he has been a great embarrassment. He understands the situation down here. He called Mr. Lentro in Kansas City and told him to bring utmost pressure to bear on

PUT UP BY AFRO
Still Time For Merely Nominated Candidates To Enter And Make Good
Going at the most rapid pace yet shown, the Afro's great "Everybody Wins" automobile campaign approaches the end of the First Period BIG VOTES this Saturday night with a burst of speed among the contestants that means there will be real "fireworks." This intensely close race for the three brand new automobiles is growing more and more exciting every day.
What is done by candidates between now and the hour of 9 p. m. this Saturday will determine in a very large measure who the big winners will be. In fact it is more than likely that, those who accomplish the most up to then will be the ones to land the biggest of the AFRO'S many awards.
Who will be the proud owner of the $2870 Frankin? — who will get the $1,015 Oldsmobile? — who will be given the $69 Durant? — all these questions will come closer to being answered after the clock strikes nine, tolling the end of the BIG VOTES.
Entering Last Lap
After this Saturday there are just three, more weeks of the AFROFS colossal $8,000 campaign — just three more weeks before these three largest model automobiles and hundreds of dollars in cash will be given their winners, absolutely free and without one cent of cost to those who land them.
But the votes will take a further drop before the campaign ends which is all the more reason why those who expect to win the AFROFS $8,000 in automobiles and cash prizes should lose no further time in entering their names. Newly nominated candidates for the campaign have three full weeks to pledge up the votes toward winning one of the three beautiful cars or some substantial sum in cash. The office will want to enter own name: you may nominate some friend or relative. In either case the Nomination Blank is worth 10,000 votes right now and one year subscription on the First Subscription Coupon, you will get 120,000 more votes, making a total of 130,000 votes to start with.
Must Be On Time
To count on the present Period BIG VOTES in the AFROFS office in the 27th, or they must be mailed to show a post-mark not later than that time. No extensions will be granted. This is final warning. Every one-year subscription is
worth 20,000 votes now — each 5-
year subscription gives you 435,000
votes.

A few of the epithets Neval Thomas applied to the E. O. P. at the Baltimore Smith meeting Monday. "You have nothing to lose by deserting Hoover. Out of 10,000 appointments made by Coolidge, 3 were colored and all of them have been kept out."
"Turn to the party which must recognize you if you are going to help them," he said. "Hover's secretary, characterized Governor Billboa's (Min.) statement of the day, as a coined woman as the most indecent attack in the whole campaign.
"Why indecent? All you women to vote for Hoover think of that."

SECRETARY OF STATE DECLINES REQUEST
$10,000 Bribe Recalled—Case Called Flinsy—Conviction Certain
JACKSON, MISS. (Special)—Secretary of State Wood turned down the request of Perry Howard to cancel the Howard list of presidential electors in the November election because the official ballot was already prepared.
The Jackson Daily News said, Friday:
"The request for withdrawal of the Perry Howard and Mary Booze Republican electoral ticket was made in person by Dr. S. D. Rermond, chairman of the Republican state executive committee of that fact. "So far as can be learned, no meeting of the committee was held to sanction the request.
"It came only from Dr. Redmond who somewhat reluctantly admit that he submitted it in accordance with instructions he issued in Washington. "Only a little imagination is necessary to picture the pressure that was brought upon Perry Howard by Chairman Work and other members of the committee to bring about this request. "Perry Howard is in the middle of a mighty bad fix, and nobody know it better than does Perry Howard.

Dixie Has Nothing On Chesapeake Bay Sections Of Dela.Md.
It is a great time of the year on the eastern shore-Delaware and Maryland. The year has come around to harvest time. Everybody is busy in the fields digging potatoes, gathering corn, cutting and stacking hay, marketing fruits-apples and pears. The farmer is seen in several poetic motions—hard at work through the heat of the day, turning at eventide towards home passing over the dusty roads and lanes, worn from the day's labor at twilight he sits half-distinct by the roadside, again he turns to the woodyard to prepare for the morning's cooking fuel.
In the town and thus the country streets and roads are under construction or repair, employing a goodly number of men.
Oyster Season
The oyster season is now on. Yeltsie calling, cursing singing goodmen, the turn of gasoline moons, the turn of the year, the turn of lines and canals, all give signs of real life to the town and village waterfronts. It is a great time in the rear on the shore. The broad streets of land, though level afford beautiful moors, gorgeously colored woods and stone, are sometimes merely decorating the fields; lakes are pleasant; but each of the small, calm, clear little bodies is so oval and pleasant surprise. *Alarming Among Maryland.*

One wonders how narrow, prejudiced stupid murders can continue to bread in such a way that contains everything that exists in Mississippi and then some more. Road builders will look up at your decent car and find some people ready to let you go by. The road can take the side of the rankest violator of the law when there is a dispute between a black man and a white man and the experience to white men who read. On one occasion one had to get a stranger to another occasion on another occasion an older man placed his hand on my shoulder when I presented a list to him, seeking information, only to be told, "You know I can't read and
Politics
Everybody on the Eastern Shore is talking politics. The provinces of greatest backwardness are openly and madly declaring themselves for the Kian cohora. In such districts even the Right Reverend Bishop Cannon Jr. and colored campaigners from Baltimore are listened to with interest. The later have been traveling in teams of twos on "the shore". One man told me, however, that before they had spoken at Cambridge he was inclined toward Hoover, but because of the stupidity of their argument he has turned to Smith. The Grand Old Party has stood by you in the past. It has never failed you. Give it another chance. It is the party of your fathers; good enough for them it must be good enough for you. Hoover is a Republican; he is your friend; Smith is a Democrat; he is your enemy. Take the Democrat's money, but vote for Hoover.

A Jewish business man in Wilmington, Delaware, told me that ninety-five percent of the Jews would be for Smith mainly because of the Klan caverning of the Hoover forces. Continuing, he said, The Klanmen in taking over the Negroes; were after the Catholics and Jews. When talking to me, a Jew, he will say, 'We're not after the Catholics, we're after the Negroes and Catholics.' They are worst lot in America.

There are approximately forty-five thousands Negroes in the state of Delaware, making up about one-third the total population in the state, and high school for Negroes, one at Wilmington and one Dover, the State College for Colored Youth. The Wilmington high school is the architecture of any high school building its size I have ever seen. It is well done; a variety in color scheme, adaptation, and room sizes the music room to music. The building material is of the first grade and the general tone of the structure is good. But pagan forces rule in Wilmington; the city council decreased public school appropriations, so that only one smallern school building, the antiquated afair which has just been vacated. DuPont gave the building; its is best school building in Wilmington will not be outcome.

Forty students are enrolled in the college department; the increase in enrollment is hardy more than four years old. It is clear, however, that a separate college for Negroes has no great Delaware.

Eller made the speech the night before the April primary, and that in addition to encouraging the ward workers to be more vigilant in election, he told them to run if necessary.

SOUTH DOOMED IF SMITH IS ELECTED
Campaign Book Published In Alabama Makes Smith A Negro Ally
SOUTH IS PEEVED
In South Not Tolerant Of Its
Ideals, Declares Bunk Artist
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Among
the scurrilous literature being
sent throughout Alabama by en-
mies of Smith and supporters of
Hoover is a so-called campaign
book, gotten out by Hugh A.
Lock of this city. Some of the
reasons he advances for the de-
fat of Smith and the election
of Hoover are:
In Tammany the Negro has found
a great interest in ready ally,
and in Al Smith the Negro has found
the so-called moritic leader who
is more examined of the Negro than
Al Smith was raised among Negroes. He belittled in social equality, speaking with Negroes. He ran for Senator on the same ticket with a Negro. He has Negro members of the Republican party. He from the Republican party. Al Smith has not uttered a word indicating any sympathy for Southern ideas or sympathy for Southern sympathies and political alignments are all with the Negro. He is getting the undivided support of the Negro in Missouri and the South as he has done for him in the North. McLemore for Congress
Tamman's treated in corraling the Negro is the nomination by the Tamman's wing of Democracy in Missouri. This Negro is a member of the so-called Democratic party in Missouri. He is for Al Smith.
"Once the Democracy puts a Negro in Congress and a Negro-loving Democracy in the President's chair, the Southern is counted."

G. O. P. Will Eliminate Race Vote If Hoover's Elected
TAMPA, Fla. — "Speaking before a meeting of the Hillsborough County Republican Club, at the Board of Trade Auditorium, of Virginia's oldest families, and an ardent supporter or Herbert Hoover for President, told his audience if he was elected he would land his seat in the Republican party by practically elimination of the Negro vote as a factor of that political organization.
"The best brought out: this as the greatest reason for the nation-wide support being given Al Smith by the Negro newspapers of the country and explained that it is Hoover's attitude on the Negro question in the opposition of the black voters."

WALTER COHEN'S DAUGHTER DIES
Chicago-New Orleans Beauty
Lost Sixty Pounds In Three
Months
CAME NORTH TO DIE
Funeral Saturday At St. Elizabeths Catholic Church
CHICAGO, Oct. — (ANP)—Somalian political and christian circles were shocked Thursday morning to learn of the death the night before by Colonel John Walter, Colonel Comprender of the Port as New Orleans. Death was due to nephritis.
Mrs. Jones had been afflicted with a greeny site and stature, for many months. A very beautiful woman of greedy size and stature, she lost stray pounds and friends became alarmed, fearing that she had submitted herself to some injurious reduction formula, but with her real smile and kindness, that she was willing to till afflicts.
Last May she left for New Orleans, ostensibly to regain her health. But in the meantime the specialists she employed the grew no better. She came to Chicago ten days ago to spend the last days of her life with daughter, Mrs. Yolande Belt Johnson.
She was a contributing editor for the Associated Negro Press and secretary of the publicity committee of the National Club of Colored Women's Club. She organized the Louisiana Art Club of Chicago, and was one of the most indefatigable workers in the Gaudiume Charity Club and the Friendly Big Sisters Club. In addition to these outside activities, she found time to be a part of a fine social group called the Angels, singer, lingerie and conversationalist.
*Bedded her father, she is survived by a sister, Mrs Margot Patterson, her brothers, and a son-in-law, Paul J. Johnson. Funeral services were held at St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church, Saturdays.

WILMINGTON POLICE ARRESTS COMMUNISTS
WILMINGTON, Del. Oct.-Pollice officials of this city continued tonight the terror launched last night against speakers of the House of Representatives, demanding laws to advocate peace equally in their speeches before white and colored workers here. Richard B. Moore, a professor at the 21st Congressional District, was arrested together with Paul Crouch and two other white workers.

Poster, Communist, candidate for governor of California, enforcing the ridiculous crime of lynching, the Workers' party was forced to hold its meetings on the open streets in the colored district of Wilmington.
Fear Pet Concerning Prisoners
Missourians presenting to the large crowd, most of whom were workers, the demands for equality for Negroes issues by the Workers' Committee him, gripped with his white companions.
The arrested men and women were hushed off to the police station where no further word has been heard from the police on account of threats made by the chief of police as to what he would do to those advocating the abolition of lynching and of laws favoring Jim-crowism and forbidding inter-marriage. The authorities of Wilmington have ordered the police to arrest anyone caught in distributing the Workers (Communist) party's leaflet entitled "Aballah Lynching." The chief of police was summoned by the police, mentioning the subject of the lynching of Negro citizens will be "run out of town."

City Loses Suit To Oust Veterinary
PORT SCOTT. Eans—This suit has lost its suit to oust Dr. J. W. Brown from his home and hospital. The A. A. C. P. assisted in the legal battle. Dr. Brown, who was born in Port St. Mary, was the first Negro to receive a degree from the Kansas State Agricultural College in the University Veterinary School in 1912. After he was a year at Tuquesse he established himself in practice in his native city, buying and diving up a hospital building. In his positions signed by presided neighbors, the City Council passed an ordinance on February 1938, making it unlawful for anyone to keep intestines in a creature's mouth. The discriminatory nature of the ordinance was shown when a neighboring white veterinarian in the same block was confronted in court and unmolested, while Dr. Brown was arrested.

LAST NECESSARY PLOT PURCHAS'D FOR THE SITE
Congress Declined To Appropriate For Stadium Until Ground Was Gotten
MANY CHANGES IN TEACHER PERSONNEL
Appointment Of Baltimore Teacher Approved By the School Board
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Board of Education at its meeting last Wednesday afternoon was informed by the District commissioners that the last remaining lot in the land necessary for the building of a stadium and athletic field at the Dunbar High school had been acquired thru condemnation proceedings at a cost of $4,225. The lot contains 1,140 square feet. The acquisition of this lot completed the purchases for the stadium and athletic field for the Dunbar High School. It gives the school all the property, street and road running and south immediately to the rear of the Twining school.
Acquisition of land for the building of a stadium and athletic field at the Dunbar high school was begun in 1916. Delay was caused by denation process and a provision that no property for school purposes could be bought for more than 125 cents t its assessed valuation in this vicinity had been improved no one would sell within this jurisdiction.
To Build Stadium
An item for the building of the stadium and athletic field at the Dum bar high school is in the present budget, which will be in the next session of approval, if approved. The Bureau of the Budget, the last conference between school officials and budget bureau, school officials were told that no estimate of the building of the field was submitted until all land purchases had been made.
Garnet C Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, believes that the position of the budget buildup then is an indication to estimate for the future and athletic field may be submitted at the request of Congress.
Plans for the stadium and athletic field have already been worked out by the municipal architect.
The land purchases total nearly a half million dollars.
The school board authorized the municipal architect to install a clock and bell system in the Miner Normal school at a cost of $2,500. The municipal architect was also authorized to remodel the northeast basement room of the Randall Junior High School at a cost of $1,118.

G.O.P.WORKERS ARE LAID OFF IN CHICAGO
All Is Not Well In Washington National Headquarters
FUNDS REPORTED SHORT FOR CAMPAIGN WORK
Hoover Alarmed Seeks Harmony For Final Week's Drive
CHICAGO.-The laying off of twenty or more workers connected with the colored Western Headquarters of the Republican National Committee has occasioned no end of talk.
It is reported that Homer Phillips, who has been in charge, and his assistants are in an angry frame of mind because of this unexpected move on the part of G. O. P. managers in Washington.
According to present plans, all organization work will be discontinued after this week, with publicity agencies and publicity agencies to function during the remainder of the campaign. This new arrangement means the outage a matter of the past, and from different parts of the country will be dropped from the pav-roll. Various reasons have been attributed for the letting go of workers, for the O. P. leaders have become pessimistic over the outlook among colored voters and fear a wholesale drift in the political Committee has determined to cut down expenses and has decided that Negroes should be the first affected. Others that radical changes are made in the personnel of the colored division at Washington, where funds are reported insufficient to meet current needs.
"Defender" Anti-Hoover
"The Defender" determent came against Hoover last week editorially on One page to the truth. The Defender said: "The colored people want justice in America and we mean to get it Fifty years of support of the Republican Party does not assure us of this
"Our readers are entitled to know," The Defender continues, "that the K. K. K. is taking an active part in the campaign and that it is not aiding the Democratic candidate. Our readers are entitled to know that the hypocrites and church bigots are taking a more active part in this campaign than they have ever done before and that they are not aiding the Democratic candidate. Our readers should know that 'Senator Heflin, Who Shot A Negro In Washington Years Ago And Bragged About It, Is Supporting The Republican Candidate'."
Following this editorial, Robert S. Abbott, editor, was called in conference with the Republican chiefs at Washington, Thursday of last week. The conference is not believed to have changed the 'Defender's Anti-Hoover stand.
All Is Not Well
WASH., D. C.— All is not well at G. O. P. headquarters in the Barr Building. While John R. Hawkins is nominal head of the Colored Advisory Committee, the real head has been Walter Brown, a white man.
Failure of the Advisory Committee to secure full coproduction of workers like Robert R. Church, Tennessee; Benjamin Davels, Georgia; Perry Law, Missouri; Armand Scott, C. G. Isaac Nutter, Atlantic City; W. G. Alexander, Orange, N. J. has been mighty, but the university democratic clubs have sprung up, intelligently guided and well financed to instruct voters in the reason for Smith's victory in Hoover.
Older politicians nowhere enthusse for Hoover. Word has gone out that if the G. O. P. wins, the party will be made entirely white in the South. The drift to the democrats alarmed even Candidate Hoover himself, who called a council of trusted party chiefs to see if some order and cooperation cannot be hinder for the final weeks of the campaign.
Oil Scandal
Secretary Hubert Wurt's connection with a new oil deal has added responsibility for the dill-vally policy of Brown in handling the Colored Advisory Committee. Belief is current that John R. Hawkins would not have botched the decision for Inman Brown.
The first of three installments for advertisement in race newspapers went out last week. Sum appropriated was reported as $8,800.

C. — The opening of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School November 1 and part-time classes and overcrowding in the number of portables in use in schools of the tenth to the thirteenth divisions, Eugene A. Clark, the assistantendent of schools, said Tuesday. There are a total of 24 portables in use. Six are located at Garrison, three at Harnes, four at Cleveland, at Harnes and Blythe, at Phelps Vocational, two Burrille and two at Syphax. Relief conditions in the northwest district is contemplated by a shift of the Phelps Vocational School and the use of that school building for an elementary school. The adminsion officers are considering the advisability this shift. Morgan Addition An eight-room addition to the Morgan School when completed will house a sixteen-school building with an assembly hall and gymnasium and will relieve conditions in the Garrison and the Harrison schools and the use of portables at these schools.
The estimates for appropriations for 1929 include items for a new road school, for a new assembly school, for the Garrison school, a six-room addition to the Cromwell school a new Giddings-Lincoln school to be constructed on the grounds of the dings school, and a new health school on the Bladensburg road the portables in use by the Burville school eliminated by an eight-room addition to be erected within the next eighteen months. More Portables School officials plan to put two portables in the vicinity of Twentieth and Rosedale streets northwest to care for small children who are in that rapidly growing school. The portables will be at the Lovejoy school and make it possible for children of the kindergarten and first and second grades in the school without going a long distance.
The opening of the remodeled Margaret Washington Vocational School in 1980 led to a surge of students from the Twining School back to the Simmons school will result in a reduction of part-time students in the Simmons group of schools.

Lady Attendant
WASHINGTON—An agreement to give his automobile to Chas. Driscoll, white, clerk of the Traffic Department, made to travel at 47 miles an hour was made by John L. Morris, when arranged before Judge Robert E. Mattingly on a speed limit of 10 mph. Patrolman Moore, declared Morris was traveling along Florida avenue at a 47-mile-an-hour speed limit, and denied the vehicle could travel so fast, but admitted he might have been going 35 miles. "If your car will go 47 miles, we will go 47 miles," Judge Mattingly asked, and when the defendant assented, he added. "All right, if we can make our car go 47 miles, if we can I'm going to fine you $100." The court had the car tested in Potomac Park. It would do overweight driving if the Morris was off with a $10 fine.

BISHOP BROOKS OPENS
TEXAS CONFERENCE
Baltimore Prelate Presides
Over First Session On

TOWN NEAR MEXICO
Climate Like California, Crops
Grow Year Round
By C. W. ABINGTON
LA FERIA, Texas. — Rt. Rev.
W. Samson Brocks, D. D., L.J.
D., of Baltimore, Md., convened
the Sixth Session of the Mexican
and Rio Grande Valley annual
conference which marks the be-
ginning of the rounds of the nine
Texas conferences.
The event was historic as it is the first time since his elevation to the episcopacy that he has been assigned to work in America, having served the past eight years in West Africa. The difference is only the scarcity of members of our race group in this of members of our race group in section of the country. This little city is only a few miles from Mexican and pres- tern Mexicans one would think he was actually in Mexico.
Some years ago, not more than ten or fifteen, this land was offered for a few dollars an acre to any one who would buy it, and who is willing to wages said he was offered all the land he would buy for $1.25 an acre and refused it even when he was given as much time as he wanted to pay for it. Some land was selling from two some land and fifty to five hundred dollars an acre.
What they call the valley is one of the most beautiful spots in the state of California for beauty and in many respects surpass them in productivity. It is dotted over mountains, the fact that they are all new greatively adds to their beauty. As one drives along for hundreds of miles of parkland, it is hard to keep orchids of tropical fruits such as oranges, grapefruit, lemons, nuts and beautiful gardens of growing vegetables. As soon as the farm is gathered another is planted.
Bishop Brooks said: "We have a beautiful place for a thrifty group of people to go there is no trouble to rent land; there is no danger of failure; for the thrifty group of fritzation. One colored man who moved here from Arkansas made ten thousand dollars in one year, and saved themselves to death in the older states and scarcely able to exist if they would come out in this country, they would soon become independent.

ment — the white kindly tendered

Central Baptist Pastor Says Lip And Brains Rarely Combine
URGES MISSION WORK
Doesn't Blame Folks For Not Following Hypocrite Preacher
"The religion of Jesus Christ being established in the hearts of men, was the subject of discourse at Central Baptist Church, Shroeder and Pierce streets, by the pastor, Rev. T. H. Thornton, at the morning service Sunday.
"Dwelling chiefly with the life of Apostle Paul, among other things the minister declared:
"Before Paul's conversion he was a sinner of the vile sort, although unconscious of it, and although spoken languages fluently before he heard the new language — the voice of God.
"Religion makes smart, intelligent men and women operate quietly and soberly, for selfless to do much lip and much brains alike in the same ceranium, and preachers and pastor who excite their hearers by boisterous moanings or freakish contortions seldom leave one helpful thought on
"If Paul had preached that Jesus was still in hell and not risen, it would no doubt have made him a most popular Roman, but he preached that Jesus was still in hell and not risen, a new doctrine then and challenged by atheists and agnostics today. Woe is that minister of God who knows the truth is afraid of men to preach
Hits At Parents
The pastor took to task the parents of delinquent children of the city, laying out the reasons of the failure. He further emphasized the fact that as long as members of the Christian church refuse to go into the alleys and hovels of tumour, they would have the power, so long will the last command of Jesus Christ go disobeyed.
Preacher Is Standard
"Finally," said the speaker, "let me leave this statement with you: I do not blame folks from not following or condiding what I drunk or in questionable places, the preacher is a standard, he should be clean, and where he isn't he cannot honestly' condemn hands and immorality of his members."

decided opposition to the Hoover campaign.
Most of all, Bishop Demby desires to speak in word for SENIOR H. H. Robinson, of Arkansas, vice-presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket.
"I have understood," he declared, "that some opposition in the Senate Robinson is based on the fact that in the case of death or accident to Mr. Smith,lowing his election, Senator Robinson would become the President of the Senate."
"In such an event, and no one wishes it would come to pass, op Democrat in the nation, need the administration under Senator Robinson.
"As a senator, his dealings with all people have found him only to be fair, square and upright."
Bishop Demby was especially pleased also over the fact that in the recent local Democratic election in Little Rock, colored men registered to vote. These men pledged themselves, not only to vote the Democratic ticket in the local election, but also vote the national ticket for Smith Robinson.
All these men were registered at the insistence of Bishop Demby, who had been assured by the governor of the state that the bishop would welcome colored covers in the primary election. Mrs. Demby, formerly Miss Nettie M. Ricks, of Washington, accompanied the bishop. Last month they celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary and first to attend the Deacons School in Washington and is a graduate of Oberlin College.

CHICAGO'S G O P TURN OUT FOR BISHOP RANSOM
CHICAGO. (A. N. P.) Before an audience which jammed the auditorium of Wendell Phillips Hi School Monday night, colored Democratic leaders flayed the Republican Party and lauded the Democratic presidential candidate, Governor Alfred Emanuel Smith. Sprinkled throughout the audience were to be found some of the most prominent Republican leader of the Hoover forces and many persons active in both city and state Republican organizations. Enthusiasm was at fever heat throughout the meeting and each speaker received loud applause as he drove home some particularly salient argument.
Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, of the A. M. E. Church, in addressing the 3,000 intent listeners said: "For two generations colored people have been fighting and voting to advance the interests of white people — now we had better do a little thinking and voting for ourselves. The ballot is our most powerful weapon. It will punish our enemies as well as reward our friends."
"The Republican party was once the party of freedom, but times have changed. It is today the party of bigotry, intolerance, deception, and Klanism. If we don't repudiate them now because of their hypocrisy in trying to enforce the 18th Amendment while neglecting the 13th, 14th and 15th, their destruction of coioed Republican leaders and their Lily Whitism, when in the name of common sense do we expect to show our disapproval? We have already been put out of the party and notified of the fact. Are we going to wait for them to kick us out before expressing our dissatisfaction?"
Common People
"Governor Smith is a champion of the common people and as such is our friend. If elected to the president, he will present incumbent of the White House. And I for one am out to stare a revolt that will notify the Republican Parry that colored citizens are no longer cowards, slaves.
Morton Speaks
Hon. Ferdinand G. Morton, Civil Service Commissioner of New York State, gave the ultimate picture of the man who for eight years has guided the destiny of New York State. His personal life have I known. Gov. Smith to do or say anything for the express purpose of gaining the support of any group or any class. It is therefore not be denied that the support not be denied in any of his appointments or decisions by the race, creed, or color of the individuals concerned," said Michael Speakers, including Hon. William A. Wallace, High Commissioner of the U. N. I. A. Harvey E. W. Wallace, High Commissioner, and Attv. Earl B. Dickerson, chairman of the meeting and regional director of the Smith-for-President Colored League, also gave to the audience an array of arguments democratic.

URBAN LEAGUE FINDS LABOR DIGGING IN
Not Much Movement From
City To City During Past
Month
COTTON, BUILDING
USE COMMON LABOR
45c An Hour Is Prevailing
Wage For Factory Hands
Now
By T. ARNOLD HILL
(Director, Industrial Relations Dept.
Urban League.)
NEW YORK.—The industrial situation for Negroes throughout the country does not seem to have altered much last month. Little movement of labor between cities is evident. The general note of the reports from every section is one of fairly constant conditions with a slight tendency toward improvement. With outside work at its peak because of favorable weather, several reports of increased employment in building and road construction have been received. Negroes in large numbers were employed as laborers in state highway construction. A new pipe line for natural gas in Austin, Texas, is being laid with the aid of Negro labor. A considerable amount of gang labor has been contracted for in St. Louis.
Auto Plants Lay Off
On the other hand, colored men along with whites were being laid off at the automobile factories and car shops in St. Louis, and Fox reports in the book. Fort thirty will soon close down and many men may be out of work". Nevertheless, the industrial department of the St. Louis Urban League reported a decrease in workers in the month of September, with 29 percent increase over the month of August in placements; Richmond, Va. notes a steady improvement in employment; Springfield, Ill. sees relief in the fact that more coal mines are resuming operations.
Texas Cotton
The fruition of the cotton crop is a cause for heavy employment in the Texas communities reporting and several hundred tobacco workers have found temporary employment in the neighborhood of Raleigh, N.C. In the field of domestic labor improvement in wages, as well as increased employment, resulted from the return to the cities of large numbers of vacationists and vacationers to the resorts and the consequent release of many summer workers would seem to counteract apparent gains in that quarters.
Placement Gains
Detroit: "Several stores have taken on additional colored girls in the elevator and stock departments." August was the biggest month in placements during the year one of the largest firms for built workers in the building trades. Several manufacturers promise requests for men early in the fall. Philadelphia:
Young man placed as salesman with one of the largest dealers in forming furnaces in Omaha. One of our largest hotels previously employing white waiters have replaced them with colored men. One of the two dailies has added a colored man as district manager, a position formerly held by a white man." The general work situation is steadily growing better. The industrial plants, many of them, are working day and night shifts. Automobile factories are going full blast and calling for many men; the same is true of the steel industry. Chevrolet, automobile mechanics, garagemen, and decorators in a hotel.
Wages
The prevailing wage at which new men are being hired in factories is 45c an hour. St. Louis reports wages for female domestic help as showcasing some tendency to rise after being highly low for the first part of August.
Cascara is Your Doctor's Choice
When physicians pronounce cascara the PERFECT laxative—why experiment with things that lash the system into action? Cascara, you know, is the bark of a tree. A natural and normal stimulus to the howels.
The Indians, who used to chew this bark, had no word in their language that meant "constipation"!
Perfect regularity is possible today, and to all of us. We have cascara ideal form; the very delightful tasting candy Cascara gives us pure cascara. It has helped at least a million people to habitual regularity. Millions of others, unfortunately, have stuck to stronger things and acquired only the laxative habit.

Small's Celebrates
Edwin Small's Paradise, one of the showcases of Harlem and a favorite in its nightlife, is celebrating its third year of popularity and prosperity from Monday the 22nd to Saturday the 27th. Located at the strategic corner of Sevenh avenue and 135th street, the Paradise enjoys the distinction of being one of our largest cabarets and every night is a holiday night.
Small's has five features—its dancing waiters who can't be beat for spontaneous entertainment; its band, the Paradise Ten, led by the famous Charles Johnson; its cuisine specializing in Chinese and American dishes under the direction of Duncan Campbell; its courteous service under the managerial efficiency of Jimmy Ashe; and its revue featuring Paul and Theima Meeres.

And, so you see why Small's takes a week to celebrate its anniversary. There is reason. During the week, all the Paradise will have its best foot forward and if such a thing is possible, bigger and better times will be held.

Club Harlem Entertains "Just A Minute" Company
Sunday night is always professional night in the African Room of the swank Club Harlem and last Sunday is the guest night at the "Jazz Minute" Company, which shows night at the Ambassador on Broadway. In the company are Maude Russel and her Ten Bronze Beauties, the Choreographer and the choreo and Peek-a-Boo Jimmie and his Bronze Bops of Harmony.
As is true of all Club Harlem parties, the going war of the group is between Bob Williams leading the racket and Ben Turpin (I'll be seeing you) and his hats. To begin with the orchestra is jam-up. It travels under the barn and boots their instruments every sort of way but loose. Then the Syncopated Capers presented by Frank Montgomery and featuring Gayne Tolmins and Tooms and the Whirlie Girls, is all there. The songs were written especially for them and can they shake them. Not takings, but they do. The room has Bob Williams (Oh Boy!) as male host and announcer, and he is the berries. He has a line that just won't stop, a dance that too goes with it, a piano that looks like this world and—well, we'll let that drop.

Sphinx Club Turns Out
Whenever there's an invitation out by any club like the Sphinx, the Audons, the Ossum, the Renaissance Casino, there's to be an enjoyable evening for me. This time, the Sphinx Club sponsored an affair at the Renaissance Casino Friday for a special question? In fact, it was just too bad. As is usually the case in New York, the crowd did not matter how small the crowd was in the be

Eventually, you'll see that casarizing tends to make the bowels move thereafter of their own accord.

Nathaniel B. Dodson Pneumonia Victim
BROOKLYN, N. Y. — Nathaniel Earnett Dodson prominent church, and welfare worker and newspaper correspondent, died at his home. 450 Shepherd avenue at 1:30 A. M. Thursday, October 18th, after five days illness from pneumonia.
At the time of his death he was president to the Sons of Virginia; member of the Board of Management of Carlton Ave. Y. M. C. A.; president of Frank H. Gilbert Republican Club; trustee of the National Community Corporation; agent of the Victory Life Insurance Company and secretary of the True Reformers.
N. B. Dodson, as he was familiarly called was born in Bodyton, Virginia March 11, 1870. His parents were Lucy Cannard Moyd and William Armstead Dodson. After graduating from the normal department of Bodyton Institute he taught school courses and then guarded further Union Institute, now Union University.
After coming to Brooklyn, Mr. Dodson became a newspaper correspondent and was for 24 years an employee of the American Press Association. He was founder and first chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Press Association and his name has appeared at the head of many special articles.
For twenty eight years Mr. Dodson served as the superintendent of Concord Baptist Church Sunday School.
For nine years he was president of the N. E. Baptist Sunday School Convention of which he was made honorary president, when the pressure of duplication compelled him to decline nomination.
The funeral services was held Sunday October 21st, at 1:00 P. M. at Concord Baptist Church 166 Adelphi street. Mr. Dodson is survived by five children, Miss Lillian Dodson, a teacher in Brooklyn, Miss Edith N. Watson, Miss Linda Kenneth; sister Mrs. Harriet Swift, one brother Mr. Edward Dodson of Chase City, Va., three grand children and a number of cousins.
ginning, it started and kept up until the end. The Casino was decorated a la Sphinx style—Dim lights, palms swaying from above, there and there again, the walls, the celling, the boxes and lodges, holding the various clubs, organizations and what not of New York City. Bustle and other things, take on a take on the Airplane air. (Though, of course, there wasn't sand, costing camels and all. But there were Sphines galore and the members had on Egyptian tops. Call them Sphinxes.)
I always did like Vernon Andrade's orchestra anyway. They just played out of this world and I loved it. The band of souvenirs were given away, hand box straw hats, caps of all colors, sizes, assortments, moleskins. I was in the middle of one of the dreamy dances the canopy began to flutter, flap and flop. It rose and fell and rained balloons that could get to one, even at such a dignified affair it's really enjoyable to be human at times. Nearly everybody pounced upon it, and I had to have to same, for all board was explosions. Bang, bang, boom! My deares, you would have thought that the place was raided. There were so
It would take pages to fill in all those who graced the affair. But—the clubs represented did full duty at that. Every box or lodge that held a group sponsored the club's pennant, flag, standby or whatever you would. Among the clubs noted were: the Ambassadors, Jolly Fellows, Midnight Crowders, Club of Life, Mah Jongg Girls, Ampico Exclusive Club, J. W. West Club, Jolly Social Club, Summer-Bachelors—private boxes and lodges, Mr. H. A. Parker, Pearl Miller, Al Knowles, Mr. James Lewis, Mrs. A. Williams, Rose Fabello, A. Branch and others. I pause before I am sued for favoritism. It was an enjoyable evening, even if I didn't get there early and didn't stay late. May the Sphinx Club give another affair soon, here's three cheers for them.

Elmhurst, L. I., Hostile to New Residents.
NEW YORK—A special legal representative of the N. A. A. C. P., has made two visits to Elmhurst, L. I., where homes of two colored families were being stoned and threats made against the new residents.
It was found that the two families, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Bailey and Mr. and Mrs. William Edward Whitfield, living in 91st street, were determined to stand their ground and not yield to mob pressure. Sixteen houses of white residents displayed signs hostile to the presence of colored residents, but uniformed officers and four detectives have been assigned to night duty in the neighborhood. Of the local merchants are favorable to the presence of colored families. A threatening letter sent to the Bailey is now in possession of the N. A. A. C. P.

Blanche Brookins Gets $2,750 For Florida Train Expulsion
Atantic Coast Line Settles Case Out Of Court
DELICATELY FRAGRANT
NEW YORK. — Arthur Garfield Hays, who was associated with Clarence Darrow in the famous Sweet case, now reports another important victory in the case of Mrs. Blanche Brookins, who has just recovered $2,750 from the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad car at Palatka, Florida. This case emphasizes that passenger aircraft are subject to the Jim-Crow civilizations of southern states without equal accommodation being furnished by the railroad.
The case first came to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in July, 1927, and the N. A. A. C. P. paid $100 for the taking at testimony in Florida and the Mr. Hayes himself. It was contended by Mrs. Brookins that she had purchased a Pullman ticket from New York to Orlando, Florida, and that at Jacksonville, the conductor told her to go into the Jim-Crow car. She refused, and further contends that the conductor took her two officers took her from the train and put her in jail. She was kept there all night and next day fined $500 and costs.
Mr. Hayes, after carrying the case to court, reported that the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad had offered a college course to Mrs. Brookins to accept.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct.—(A NP) While driving平静 home on Central avenue, after taking a girl friend home from work, Mrs. Clyde Howell, and Miss Grace Garth were disturbed by two white men in another car who attempted to flirt with them. Although the girls ignored them, they soon became quite insulting. They finally forced the girls to the curb and one of the men remarked to Miss Garth, who is very fair. "You are out of place down here; I bet you are some society girl on a lark." The girls got out of the car determined to tint windows for the tormentors a sound thirteen.

"But LegoHS his personal manager at the convention, advised against the fight, saying that the nomination was already assured in spite of the Butler-Hilles opposition, and if the race issue were forced at that time it would result in unacceptable." "This was Hoover's answer: In that case you tell Mr. Willis and others representing the white groups that after my nomination I nominated him, the nominee will be by white men. We are going to have a white Republican party in the South."

"And that is exactly what has happened. Here in Mississippi Perry Howard and his gang are the same as out. He and his leaders have been indicted by the Federal Grant and the residential electors are to be on the ballot. That means that after November 6 the Negro factions here will be repudiated by the Republicans themselves in this State. It will mean that party affairs will have passed into the hands of the white men. Couldn't Tell
"When Mrs. Willebrand heard from the lips of Lamont Rowland and other southern men" * * * * * "that the situation described actually existed, she said she would immediately begin prosecuting her when I came back from the convention, for it was a Department of Justice secret that, if recounted, would have made me liable to the charge of contempt of court.
"All this background is given to prove that the Republican party today has changed its attitude. It believes that there are a large number of citizens in the South who would vote the Republican party. The election is controlled by white men, and the party now intends to give them that privilege. "Regeneration of the Republican party South of the South is the most significant phases of the current Republican election," according to Willis.
NEW YORK—All sides of the political action will be discussed at the nonpartisan Citizenship meeting, to be held at Ashland Place Y. W. C. A., Sunday, October 28th, at 4:30. Mrs. George B.

Kicked Out
The AFRO-AMERICAN advocates the election of Governor Alfred E. Smith as president of the United States.
Mr. Herbert O'Reilly's acceptance of support from the klux klan and his campaign in the south to make the party lily white. leave no other alternative. W are leaving before we are kicked out.
Mr. Hoover, without waiting for election has eliminated every Negro leader of the party in the south to be in the office the final 15 minutes of its term. Mr. Hoover, Mississippi; Mr. Emil Kuntz, Louisiana, and Mr. Robert Church. Tennessee have been removed from office or limited in authority.
In Chicago, Mr. Oscar DePriest only republican candidate for Congress for the nation, was indicted by a grand jury in the final 15 minutes of its term. Mr. DePriest had given his office of indictment or quitting the campaign.
Race politicians everywhere have felt Mr. Hoover's blighting presence. Even the National Colored Advisory Committee in its magnificent Barr Building headquarters, is a sham and only, Mr. John P. Hawkey, the inaugural president, was the head, and the present director is Mr. Ray Benjamin, also a white person.
If Mr. Hoover is elected, the Negro as a political factor fades from the picture. Mr. Hoover has staked his future on his ability to kick the Negro out of the party and put in his place white dry recruits to the organization of the publican party and November 6 will tell if he can get away with it.
The nation has had seven and a half years of G. O. P. rule. Republican majorities dominate. Every thinkable proscription has ever taken in feet obtained today, in conjunction with the requirement of photographs on civil service applications. Mr. Hoover promises to carry out Coolidge's policies. Under him, if elected the nation faces four years more of silence, hysteria, corruption.
If there is any hope of change and improvement, the nation must turn to Governor Smith three times in the course of New York's election, where all races are thrown into a metaphor, where color isn't a first consideration.
Governor Smith's ability to put national issues in language which the man of the house understand, contrasts solidly with Mr. Hoover's silence or his moments of eloquent generality.
Hoover is being run for office by Mrs. Mabel Willebrand, Senator William Borah, Senator George H. Moses and Senator Thomas Helfin.
Governor Smith is running his own campaign. In fact there is an indication that the solid southern influence which compiles judgment, will not be able to envelop Governor Smith's stronger personality.
New York's governor is a crusader like Theodore Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland, the former a republican, the latter a democratic, both one time governors of New York, both eminent presidents.
Governor Roosevelt disregarded conventions and asked Mr. Booker T. Washington to lunch Cleveland disregarded the views of Dixie and appointed G. H. J. Taylor a minister to Bolivia No colored man had ever before been appointed as U. S. representative abroad to Haiti and Liberia. The senate downed Cleveland's nomination later confirmed Taylor as president of the Treasury, to which the president nominated him.
It's because the AFRO sees in Governor Smith a worthy successor to Cleveland and Roosevelt that it advocates his election November 6.
More than all of this, Governor Smith is conducted a candidate to make the country safe for tolerance. If a Catholic can be president perhaps a Jew may also aspire, and a Negro may at least be a full fledged citizen.
The AFRO-AMERICANIC advocates the election of Governor Alfred E. Smith as president of the United States. Mr. Herbert Hoover's acceptance of support from the ku klux klan and his campaign in the south to mount the war with the illly white, leave the north as alternative. We are leaving before we are kicked out. Mr. Hoover, without waiting for election has eliminated Negro leader of the party in the Southern States, Mr. Benjamin Inga; Mr. Perry Hooker of Mississippi; Mr. Emil Kurtz; Mr. Robert M. Robert Church. Ten candidates have been removed from office or limited in authority. In Chicago, Mr. Oscar DePriest, only republican candidate for Congress in the nation, has indicted by a grand jury in the minutes of its term, after Mr. DePriest had given his choice of indictment or quitting the can-
Race politicians everywhere have felt Mr. Hoover's blighting presence. Even the National Colored Advisory Committee in its magnificent Barr Building headquarters, is a sham and an illusion. Mr. John H. McKinney, in name Mr. Wesley Brown, a white man, was the first head, and the present director is Mr. Ray Benjamin, also a white person.
If Mr. Hoover is elected, the Negro as a political factor fades from the picture. Mr. Hoover has staked his future on the kick the Negro in the foot and put in his place by hiring recruits from the south.
That is his contribution to the history of the republican party and November 6th will tell if he can get away with it.
The nation has had seven and a half years of G. O. F. rule. The majorities dominate the party. Every thinkable proscription which has ever obtained in federal departments obtains today, even to segregation, and the requirement of photographs on civil service applications. Mr. Hoover promises to elect, Mr. Coolidge's policies. Under him, elected, the nation's four years more of silence, hy-
If there is any hope of change and improvement, the nation must turn to Governor Smith, three times chief magistrate of polygot New York, state where all races are thrown into a melting pot, where color isn't a first consideration. Governor Smith's ability to put national issues in language which the man of the street can understand, contrasts solidly with Mr. Hoover's silence or his moments of eloquent generalities. Mr. Hoover is being run for office by Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, Senator William Borah, Senator George H. Moses and Senator Thomas Hefflin. Governor Smith is running his own campaign. In fact there is every indication that the solid southern influences which control Woodrow Wilson, whose better judgment, are not able to envelop Governor Smith's stronger personality.
New York's governor is a crusader like Theodore Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland, the former a republican, the latter a democrat, both one time governors of New York, both eminent presidents.
Mr. Roosevelt disregarded conventions and asked Mr. Booker T. Washington to lunch. Cleveland disregarded the views of Dixie and appointed C. H. T. Taylor a minister to Bolivia. No colored H. H. T. Taylor had ever been appointed as U.S. representative abroad except to Haiti and Liberia. The senate turned down Cleveland's nomination, but later confirmed Taylor as Register of the Treasury, to which the president nominated him.
It's because the AFRO sees in Governor Smith a worthy successor to Cleveland and Roosevelt that it advocates his election November 6th.
More than all of this, Governor Smith is conducting a campaign to make the country safe for education. If a Catholic can be president, perhaps a Jew may also aspire, and a Negro may at least be a full-fledged citizen.
The Difference
A Republican campaign advertisement in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN declared that Senator William Cabell Bruce (dem), candidate to succeed himself, favored disfranchisement of the Negro in 1909. That's the record. It's absolutely true. But go with that. The record shows that in 1922, Senator Bruce admitted his error in this direction by writing to the AFRO-AMERICAN on that subject, "have now changed my mind." The record proves further how far Senator Bruce has become a seasoned humanitarian since 1909.

Flock Of 20 Pass Over Baltimore, The Vanguard Of Many More To Come.
Honk! Honk! Honk!
Day night as I stood in the rear doorway of my residence gazing skyward. At first I believed it was the signal of a passing motorist but when I heard it a second time, the sensation was more of several autos in short, uncanny blazes.
Having just come in from church services and being most certain of my sobriety, the wounds was a full mine, for grazing intently in the elements shrouded in a hazy blue that was only as nature can form, I discover the source of the peculiar noise, the whispers of the heavens in flight we silhouetted against the heavens, the blinking stars furnishing just background enough that could not be mistaken.
Go In Flock
There were in Berlin perhaps twenty more, and as best I could see, were in a formation of four abreast with a single member just ahead, similar to a pilot. The birds in flight was a scene that perhaps was as many time, but there are one deduction to be made that can be applied to the life of mankind.
Your vision must be elevated and your perception must be sharp, the fowls are headed southward. You might prefer to call it instinct, but I call it obedience to the voice of Nature which the gray goose recognizes and immediately obeys. The days are night and day, but the call has come to them and most of the migratory birds are going South, or have gone already. The call has gone forth and there is a general exodus from as far North as Carr.
"Twas such a sound fell upon my ears Sunday night as I stood in the rear doorway of my residence gazing skyward. At first I beveled in the signal, and then I beheld the second time, the sensation was like unto the blowing of several auto horns in short, uncanny blasts. Having just come in from church services and being in church, the wonder was if I was "hearing" things without "seting" things, and a full variety of thoughts came over me, from the possible passing of some airship far up the hill, to the sound of some angelic pumpet still farther up. But thoughts are mythical oftimes, to be sure and so were all mine, for gazing intently into the elements shrouded in a hazy blue sky, I discovered the source of the peculiar noise, for faintly but surely the dark outlines of geese in flight were silhouetted against the heavens, the blinking stars in the background enough that I could not be mistaken.

You might prefer to call it instinct, but I call it obedience to the voice of Nature which the gray goose responds to. The cats may be extremely warm for some weeks yet, but the call has come to them and most of the migratory birds are going South, or have gone already to Canada, or have exodus from as far North as Canada to the Everglades of Florida.

Follow A Leader
Unlike modern man, especially, the geese know how to follow a leader, and do it, no doubt, because the leader has not even once met them. What a standpoint is it for geese to follow a leader and do you know, the birds just behind the leader, whom I imagine has flown the route several times, will follow the lead, whether it carries them across the heart of a city, over a wooded region, or about some of them, and yet know the lead-overs and being expert followers they rarely be confused.

Not all of them who made the trip North, the early weeks of March, are in the field. They are in the field for many have been trapped, shot or devoured by eagles and wild beasts, and still others died from natural causes. In many cases, the process of breeding has gone forth and several new members are in the group—goslings, hatched in the North, but with the older ones, are impelled to pack up and go.
Notified Silently
And why do they always go at the same time of the year? For the simple yet unfathomable reason that they are in winter, they must be the blinding snows are in the offing. It may be Indian summer for weeks yet, but the gray goose has gone; many of us have not even overhailed the furnace nor put in a single ton of coal, but the gray goose has gone; perhaps we should fight to fight off Jack Frost and keep the home cupboard filled, and maybe there are hundreds who intend to do so, but remember the gray goose has headed Southward, to the wood and sunshine inhabitant the year around.

Do you doubt that man is migratory, that he goes North, or South with the season? If you do visit the North, you will see the first of September and the last of November and there you will see men and women, the former in the majority, with every kind of baggage and luggage imaginable, and with every type of vehicle.

The sun and rain. Hundreds of Southern-boy Negroes have come North as is the custom of the gray geese, and have tasted of an atmosphere with the rarity of a mountain top and are real man in a clime where a "man a man for that."

To be sure, not all of the Negroes who go North in the Spring return at the approach of cold weather, for hundreds of tem, breathing for the first time of the year, to offer it and the rigors of winter to a Sunny South with everything jim crowed, but the sun and rain. Hundreds of Southern-born Negroes have come North as is the custom of the people of the South with the rarity of a mountain top and are rearing their families in a clime where a "man is a man for a that." And as slowly close the door and the honking forms dinner, I tried to conceive of the wisdom of Him Who planned it all and Who speaks in a language that the birds understand and obey.
Winter Coming
So it dawned upon me that just behind these flying, screaming harbigers, the biting wintry blasts and the icicles and the snow, children of old marine white, the ice, or any of the beastly brought enough to the summer, we had better hustle NOW, for the gray goose, has headed Southward!

When asked to vote for the confirmation of James A. Cobb as municipal judge in the District of Columbia two years ago, Senator William Cabell Bruce wrote me as follows:
“Other things being distinctly equal, it was wholly satisfactory to me that his (Judge Terrell)'s successor be a Negro because I believe, with Grover Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson, both of whom appointed Negroes to office, that such an appointment as that distinctly tends to promote the elevation of the Negro to a higher plane of citizenship.”
“Were I younger and not so incessantly oppressed by public and private duties and cares, nothing would give me more pleasure than to deliver an address at Tuskegee. To such an address I think that I could bring at once, not only the kindly and affectionate feelings implanted in me by my youthful environment on an old Virginia plantation where the relation of my father and mother to the Neroes in their employment, both in the home and the plantation were marked by the very highest degree of cordial sympathy and good will, but also the spirit of liberal and enlightened statesmanship which are present advanced state of the Negro.

What does the N. A. A. C. P. stand for?
Rather abide by the standards of the larger by its life. For instance, I may cite a case I observed.
Sunday morning, August 1st, I had funeral designs for the late M. Delainey whose body was buried in Funerals Park, 2222 Georgia Ave. N. W. I rode along on my truck because I wanted to see the body. While viewing the body I noticed quite a large spraying of paint on the envelope tied to the spray and read on a card these inscriptions: "From the Washington Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. on a large tax was the name of the maker of the spray, C. E. P. 1534 14th street, N. W. who is the funeral."
There are over one-half dozen colored florists in Washington and one of them should have made that spray. Each florist organizes as the N. A. A. C. P. for correct guidance and cooperation in business advancement as well as racial and political equality, and unless this is the dire aim of this organization it disgrieces to the high associations of its name.

Sunday morning, August 1st, I had funeral designs for the late M. Delaney whose body was rested in 2222 Georgia院. N. W. I rode alone on my truck because I wanted to see the body.

I opened the envelope tied to the spray and read on a card these inscriptions: "From the Washington Branch of the M.D. Society the maker of the spray C. E. Brooks, 1834 14th street, N.

Employment, Better Wages And Working Conditions Worth More Than Liker.
Dear Reader,
It would appear according to The Sun that all Negro voters will go to the polls next month and vote for Alcohol Smith and another Bruce and are not being taken in by Smith's sand on the prohibition question for they know well enough that there will be good liquor only for the rich and the poor certainly shall not get much of it.
The Negroes do not need nor do they want cheap or plentiful liquor. They must employ a development worker, a foolish and a living living quarters, playgrounds and parks as well as recreation centers. They would like to have a development in new houses on clean well-paved streets and not be compelled to live in the cast off houses for which they are charged an exorbitant fee.
Not going to forget Turkey Bruce They know his record and his attitude towards things progressive. They know too his attitude toward the Negro in the government who would keep the Negro in an abject place. Don't you recall how he fought the pension of that old Negro soldier because a man in Turkey Bruce could not forget the penalty, Turkey Bruce could not forget forgive him that transgression, even though his cause was being supported by another man in Turkey Bruce fourth, when the ridicule became too great and then he had to give in.

Employment, Better Wages And Working Conditions Worth More Than Likeer.
Dear Mr. Editor:
It would appear according to The Sun that all Negroes work in poles next month for Alcohol Smith and Turkey Bruce. I do not think they are that foolish and they are not being taken in by Smith's sand on the prohibition question for they know well enough that there will be good liquor only for the rich and the poor certainly shall not get much of it.
The Negroes do not need nor do they want cheap or plentiful liquor. They want employment, better wages and working conditions, and they want jobs as well as recreation centers. They would like to have a development of their own where they could live in clean new houses on clean well-paved streets, and not be compelled to live in the city for which they are charged an evidential rent.
They are not going to forget Turkey Bruce. They know his record and his attitude toward things progressive. It is that of ante-bellum Southern gentlemen who would keep the Negro in an abject place. Don't you recall how he fought the pension of that old Negro soldier despite being a slave? And although he paid the penalty, Turkey Bruce could not forget nor forgive him that transgression, even though his cause was being supported by another Southerner. Turkey Bruce fought then he had to give in.

John Henry Lloyd, In Baseball 22 Years, Still Going Strong
Started In Game With Cobb, Johnson And Speaker And Since Then Has Had Vivid And Colorful Career—Has Hit Over .300 Since 1907—Predicts More Years.
By LESTER A. WALTON
In professional baseball Jack Quinn, of the Philadelphia Athletics, is a notable representative who never grows old. In the semi-professional ranks John Henry Lloyd, colored star and manager of the new York Giants, was instituting example. After sensationally disporting himself at bat and in field for 22 years, Lloyd at the age of 44 gives no evidence of sliping. He confidently himself, several more years on the diamond. Lloyd was playing semi-professional baseball before the Hoean of Giants, when his Record can be best appreciated when it is cited that he Tycob, Walter Johnson, the Speaker, the game about the same time. Today the other four are luminaries from there.
looking over the large audience he saw that the house was divided into two longitudinal sections by sheets curtains from the rostrum all the way back to the door. He was visibly affected. I don't think that I put it too strongly to say that he was actually angry. He walked to the front of the stage and in attitude and voice he showed the deep feeling within him.
Had Sheets Removed
"Without any greeting to the audience he said: 'I have travelled all over this country, and in many foreign countries, but this is to first time I have ever seen white people and colored separated by sheets, and now before I begin my address. I want those things taken from there."
"And he stood without another word awaits him. He did not have to wait long for immediately from some source. He took a book hold of the sheets or curtains and in much less time than it takes him, then said, 'now I begin.'

The African World declares that the ceremony marks the reconciliation between the African nations have frequently waged civil wars in recent years in Abyssinia, the great African nation which was as powerful long ago as when the book of Genesis was written.

In professional baseball Jack Quinn, of the Philadelphia Athletics, is a notable representative of that type. He played in the semi-professional ranks John Henry Lloyd, colored star and manager of the New York Lincoln Giants, is an outstanding example. After sensationally diagnosed for 22 years, Lloyd at the age of 44 gives no evidence of sliping. He confidently predicts for himself several more years on the diamond. Lloyd, a semi-professional baseball before Ott and Hogan, of the New York Giants, were born. His record can be best precluded when he plays with Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins entered the game about the same time. Today the other four are luminaries of yesterday rather contemporary he
One Of The Greatest Race Has Produced
Lloyd's admirers rate him as baseball's greatest colored player. That he is one of the greatest his race has ever produced is a modest statement and will not provoke argument. As a shortstop he has been often likened to Hans Wagner, once the idol of Pittsburgh. No other colored player, year in and year out, has been such a tower of strength to his team.
John Henry Lloyd is a native of Florida. It may be due to the fact that he was born in the State discovered by Ponce de Leon in search of the founts in of youth that he owes his longevity as a ball player. He was discovered on the sandlots of Jacksonville about 1900 by Rubes Foster, Harry Buckner and Sol White, who were touring the South with the Cuban ex-Giants. A year later, when Ed. Le Marr, owner of the team, let out several of his best players, he sent for Lloyd, then playing second base on the Macon Acmes, in Macon, Ga.
The Giant Episode
In 1907 he joined the Philadelphia Giants, owned by Walter Schlacter, a newspaper man, and man of many favors, a favorite in Pennsylvania, Greater New York, and New Jersey. On it were Francis, third base; Petway, catcher; Danny McClellan, crab pitcher; and Charles Grant, second base.
Lloyd and Grant were roommates when he played for McClellan to play second base for the Giants. Grand posed as a Choctaw Indian. All went well with him until the New York Giants. So great was the enthusiasm of the second baseman's colored admirers presenting him with baskets of money for a demonstration, that his racial identity was discovered and his release was reluctantly handed him. Philadelphia Giants met Clemack's famous Philadelphia Athletics in the days of Harry Davis, Rube Olding, Bender, Collins and Bush, playing them to close scores, an impossible able to defeat the bleacher leaguers.
The Lincoln Giants were then owned, as now, by James J. Flynn and the Rangers. Lloyd Been has been brought to New York from Chicago, where he played four years on the Leland Giants under Ruba Foster after leaving the Philadelphia

The home of the Lincoln Giants was Olympic Field. Fifth avenue and the Sunday professional baseball and large crowds of white and colored fans usually attended the game. Hundreds were spectators from roofs and windows. They used to say Lloyd's specialty was knocking the ball into the Har
Lloyd played with Rube Foster's American Giants in Chicago from 1914 to 1917; and subsequently with the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, then owned by W. W. Foster, at Strong's Brooklyn Roy-Giants.
After a season each on the Hillida's team of Philadelphia, and the Bacharach Giants he came to Gort and an Army team, he has been managed for three years. This is the team's best season under his leadership having won 68 games and lost every season. The Cuban Club except one, when the Cuban Stars took the rubber game. However, Lloyd says he does not concede the Cuban Stars as strong as the Homestead Grays, of which the Bacharach Giants, of Atlantic or the Hillidaes, of Philadelphia
Hita Over .300
Lloyd has not hit under the .300 mark since 1907, when as a youngster his average hit was fielded about .900. This season, out of 95 games he has gone hittest in 25 and leads his teammates in stick work. In 22 years he has been out of the game 60 days on the field. This will be the first winter since Lloyd has been playing semi-professional baseball that he will not be found in Cuba, where he or Almendra clubs. In Havana he has been on teams with Mike Gonzales, catcher of the Chicago Cubs, and Lique, pitcher of the Cincinnati Reds, taking a much needed rest. He is already predicting another great season for the Lincoln Giants in 1929. The grand prize of semi-professional baseball is married andorgs a home in Atlantic City.

Hardest Hit
Few people know how many of their problems, perplexities, and in many cases, sorrows and hardships. The people it strikes hardest are the working men and women. When the great World War got fully under way, prices of necessities and wages sourced by them increased by the deluded workers who saw a millennium of continued good wages. They little understood that the extra wages were more important than their future toll AND MUST BE REPAID BY THEM. Then as prices of necessities increased, wages also deceded. The law of economics has been slowly straining those increased wages out of the working masses and the only way it can be done is lower wages and increase prices of necessities. And at this time while we are giving much attention to politics we might give some attention to employment for permanent peace which would make it possible to put more of the product of toil into the things which give happiness and comfort instead. Because which brings and hardships
One of the reasons for studying war is that the multilateral treaty officially known as the Pact of Paris and which is the strongest protest yet made against war will soon be absorbing the thought of American people. It was the people's will which called for it, after the possibility had been pointed out by the French proposal for outlawing war between that country and the United States — it was the people's will which had urged on Secretary Kellogg and Foreign Secretaries of the other countries until the Pact was finally signed. But after the treaty was signed it must wait the further step of ratification by the Senate.
On Ratification
Senator Borah, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, declared early on that he signed it in the summer, as he expected it to be, and as it really was, it would be sent to the United States, where it would be worn in December, that it would be given quick attention, and judging from Senator Borah's attitude, would be favorably consider. But there is already a rumor that it is need for study, immediate and important, study and work, to see that it is not held back from consideration of way, that it is ratified and made part of the law of the land, of the policy of the world.
Folk In Politics
The great Jewish race in America has the reputation of being as tute in business in America, as statistics in this country would dare deny that fact. But a casual glance at the political situation in any community in America is not a guarantee that they are not backward in getting political preferment. There are in America around 2,000,000 people in the population around 5,000,000. There should be 5,000,000 colored voters out of a 12,000,000 population. Federal machinery, from janitor to member of the U. S. Supreme Court and the Cabinet of the United States is the municipal governing body in every city, town and village where any appreciable number of them live they are actively engaged in municipal governing bodies. Any analysis of the reason for this will lead to the fact that no political party knows just how the state is democratic for practical reasons, so far as the voting bulk is concerned and socialist or communist spiritual and humanitarian reasons.
YET ONE JEWISH VOTE
MEANS NO MORE IN AN ELECTION THAN ONE NEGRO VOTE
To Pick From
But race voters who go to the polls in November will certainly have a wide range in which to express their views. There is the Republican party which feels certain enough of his vote to dare kicking him about temporarily to please lily whites and to encourage blacks, leaders who see a chance of winning the election and are willing to make terms with him; then we form a coalition, headed by Norman Thomas, of the outspoken advocates of the unabridged right of man in this country, and last but not least, the party, which invites the Negro with his fold on complete equality, barring nothing, and to which finally he may have to turn in a world move oppressed groups to free himself from oppression. Those who wish to make their political this year will have course to have to vote the Republican party, and to make it a motivation if the unward trend of humanity

Dear Lines
I wonder if you saw that German Zeppelin the other day when it passed over Baltimore? I got a good look at that baby, in fact I got a crick in my neck, too. By George, I had many a thought about it, and I reckon you did also.
Suppose, says, that darn thing would start dropping down cans of death gas as it eased on its way, and opposed there would be enough gas in one can to kill all the folks in Baltimore, and suppose it had enough cans for every cigar of any size, wouldn't it be one of grand mess?
Ten years ago they told me many was beaten to her knees, and I believed it, but now there appears to be a lie out, somewhere. The poor old starved out, beaten Germans have somehow, while struggling to get up on their feet, found scraps enough from somewhere to build a rigid airship that can go 6,500 miles in 111 hours. The Allies perhaps will get the World Court to look into this thing, for two thines are at stake: the reputation of the Allies as fighters of the buyers and the reputation of newspaper reporters as lions.
The whole business looks kinda fishy to me, and while old Capt. Eckener says it is a commercial adventure, I suppose I'll have to believe him, since I believed what the newspapers said about the war.
Tain't likely. I know, but wouldn't it be scramble if four or five of them move over the dear old U. S. A. and start letter*g to the awful, dead stuff! I never do, but I am in the room and ten before such occurrence if ever does, for it won't be no Sun- School and no pink tea party. Sherman said war, was- Uncle Joe,

DWELLE FACTION OF BAPTISTS WINS PHILLY COURT CASE
DWELLE FACTION WINS PHILLY BAPTIST DUEL
tion Does Not Constitute Convention
COURT BATTLE LASTS
THREE WHOLE DAYS
Conclusion
PHILADELPHIA. —The two years battle in the Pennsylvania State courts, R. H. Rucker, John Clinton and others who claimed to be the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention lost out to J. H. Dwelle, H. W. Childs, T. J. Goodall and C. C. Scott and others, who made similar claims.
The latter were elected to office in October. 1926, and re-elected in 1927 and 1928.
A sweeping opinion was handed down by Judge Joseph H. Taulane last Friday in Common Pleas Court
The court found in favor of the Dwelle faction that the Rucker group had no standing in court to act as officers of the convention and the opposing party was headed by the following officers: John H. Dwelle president; H. W. Childs, first vice-president; H. G. Hooy, second vice-president; O. G. Goodwin third vice-president; C. C. Scott, correspondent secretary; C. C. Scott, correspondent secretary, and J. H. Robinson, treasurer.
Would Meet In Church
The litigation was the direct result of the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention refusing to hold its 1926 sessions in the inadequate church of the Rev. S. J. Jones located at Seventy-first and Yount streets; it was a violation of the bible law that the convention had been scheduled for this church because of the promise of Rev. Mr. Jones to erect a tabernacle of sufficient size to accommodate the convention. This they proved the course, and it was needed to do, after alleging that it embarrassed the convention seriously.
The Board of Managers, consisting of Reverends Blackwell, Hughes, Scott, and Dwelle, and others, held a meeting a week before the convention to hold its sessions in 1926, at the Memorial Baptist Church, Fortyfirst and Ludlow streets. Rev. Mr. Jones became incensed at the refusal of the convention to meet at his church in which to hold the convention. With a small body of his loyal followers he opened this church and inaugurated this conference the office!' a convention of the state Baptists. At this convention Rev. R. H. Rucker, of Washington, Pa., was elected president.
Tests Legality
Rev. Rucker's faction then employed a white law firm to institute legal proceedings in an effort to test the legality of Rev. Dwelle's faction holding a convention here in another church. The Dwelle faction secured the services of the law firm of Rexmond Pace Alexander, then having a firm of lawyers. Mr. Alexander was assisted in the trial of the case by his wife. Attorney Sadie Mossell Alexander. Through the efforts of Mr. Alexander the case went on trial immediately, after the attorneys representing the Rucker faction were as long as possible having in mind, it is thought, the postponement of the case until after the convention held here two weeks ago. The case was tried for three full days before the opening of the convention on October ninth.
More Litigation
It is expected that further litigation will follow in order to recover the money now held by the Jones faction, who attached the money held by officials properly elected convention officials by Rev. Dwell over two years ago.
Big Victory
Leading Baptist ministers of the state proclaim this victory as one of the most far-reaching, important actions of the year in sylvania. Baptist State Convention, and one that will go a great way towards increasing the prestige, importance and the power of the various factions that exist in this convention.
"We hold no malice toward any one," said Rev. Dwelle, "and our sole thought now is bringing about perseverance harmony in this great church, body."

ing Republican this year; that neither his ticket or the lily-white ticket has even a remote hope to win.
"He is facing indictments to be called at the November term of Federal Court in Jackson — a court term convening on the day prior to the Presidential election.
"Where the charges in these indictments be true or false. Howard is well aware of the fact that political feeling is running high in Mississippi, and he faces grave risk of conviction, even if the evidence against him should not be of conclusive character.
"If Howard had refused to request withdrawal of his electoral ticket he faced threat of prosecution to the office at Washington. Whether or not he has received a promise, expressed or implied, of immunity from prosecution in event his electors were in office is of course a matter of conjecture.
"PLAN FRUSTRATED BY WOOD'S RULING
"When Dr. S. D. Redmond entered the office of Secretary of State Wood with his formal request for withdrawal of the list of Howard and Booze electors the printing press already in operation but the sample form of ballot to be sent to the boards of election commissioners.
"HOWARD COULD TELL INTERESTING THINGS
"If Perry Howard ever decides to open up, after his court troubles have been finished, and after a frank statement from the court, doubt have interesting things to tell concerning the various tricks, schemes, wiles and maneuverings that have been resorted to in the effort to wrest from him the power of the Republican Party," Mississippi.
"For illustration: Perry Howard could tell if he is so inclined, a highly illuminating story about how near-relative of Leland, Orleans, chairman of the white-brown branch of the Republican party, approached him with a cash offer of $10,000 if he would resign as Republican national committeeman and allow Rowlands to be named. He would also should tell all that he knows about how certain alleged Democrats in Mississippi have sought his favor, making earnest appeals to him for pieces of wood for a pile age or would be a story interesting for the general public, but decidedly unpleasant for the parties involved.
"DIDN'T MAKE RETURN VISIT
"The cold truth is that Mrs. Willebrandt picked the very mildest and most inconclusive cases she found against Perry Howard for presentation to the Bloxox grand cases case, and the element of reasonable doubt" on which acquittals are so often based, and neglected to go into cases wherein, the evidence, if she had given access to the reports of postoffice and Department or Justice could have seen far special could have seen far more conclusive and convincing.
"Mrs. Willebrandt. it will be recalled, promised that she would return to Mississippi and appear at the Aberdeen Medical Center to conduct further investigations into the alleged traffic in post offices in this state, but Mabel has been so busy trying to elect Hoover that she forced her to conduct post offices in those districts were greatly relieved when she failed to put in her appearance.
"It was remarked in the editorial columns of the Daily News a few days since that Perry Howard more sinned against than sinning.
"Perry Howard has made no effort to appear in the role of a martyr. Since he was surrendered as special assistant to the attorney-general, "without duty and without pay," he has manifested a remarkable silence. Not one of his one-time friends or him knowing the charges preferring not one complaint of injustice at the hands of his G. O. P. friends. "Deluded by a belief that there might be a fighting chance to smash the Solid South. the Republican campaign committee has deposed all of its Negro leaders, the white men in their steed — in most instances white men of northern origin who have little knowledge of southern conditions, and no sympathy with the southern viewpoint on the race question. As party leaders they are more dangerous by far than the deposed Negro because their guilt of showing the truth, and the protudity of their ignorance on inter-racial relations."

By WILLIAM H. SCOTT
In question of registering and voting may be academic to some Americans, but to the colored man it is matter of race. In question of voting that, in certain sections of this country he is deprived of the privilege of voting; it is all the more important that there be no black man should exert his suffrage to the uttermost. The use of the ballot is the most popular device in a Republic has. According as it is used wisely, or not, depends the existence of a good government or a bad government. It may be any community, the welfare of one individual is the welfare
Venning-Bowie Wedding Is Philly Society Event
By BERNICE DUTRIEUILLE
PHILADELPHIA. — In the exquisitely decorated parlor of her parents' home, 2127 Fitzwater street, Mattie Verning became the bride of Charles Smith Bowie, on Saturday evening, at the stroke of seven. Surrounded by palms and ferns the bride's mother, the bride's maite and, old, played the wedding march as the party descended the stair preceded by the little ribbon bearers — Betty Kinkson and Gene Upshur — and flower girl, Bunny Hinkson, who prepared a pathway strewn with petals for the happy bride.
of another and visa versa. Practically, however, some things may be the source of immediate and painful distress — be felt by another to so small degree as to be passed almost unnoticed. What is true of individuals is, likewise, that there are classes and classes. This country is made up of many different classes, races and nationalities; and what might seriously affect one group may not affect another
For this reason, while citizens, theoretically, should vote for those things which are beneficial to the community for themselves or for others, they should vote for those things which most vitally affect them. Therefore, each group of people in a community will vote, primarily the candidate who is most likely to be in them. Now, what makes the practical politician interested in any man or group of men? Any practical politician is interested in the man or group of men who can bring
And this is the fundamental reason why
the colored man should register!
He should register so that he can vote, and by his vote, see to it that discrimination, segregation and injustice of all sorts be avoided. When politicians realize that the colored man has a voting power strong enough to be of material benefit or detriment to him; then, and then only, will the government cease to passively ignore him or actively
What a picture they made! The dainty little nail-bearer in green chiffons with scalloped berthas, orange velvet streamers, green socks, black pumps; the young cheer dispenser bringing sunshine in her yellow and orange. While the bridesmaids headed by Lillie, youngest of the Venning sisters, in yellow taffeta with close-fitting bodice, (the base of the dress), in white bale and bow of yellow and green) and slippers and hose to match helped to complete the dazzling effect. For there was Reba Bowie in changeable taffetta — the upper of peach and yellow; the lower part shading into deep cerise — gold slippers and hose; the same the mame of honor, Mary Venning, another sister, lovely in Living green tulle over matching scalloped taffetta, a striking feature of which was the huge bow of orange velvet, in the folds of which nestled a dahlia; then playful a peek-a-boo, was a similar trimming on the skirt, glimpsed through the web of silk and velvet, the autumn glow of her amher jewelry.
Respendent in cream-coloured bridal satin, which emphasized the trend of present day mode (the sweeping effect of the skirt in back, the alluring foreshortened front) and contrasted prettily with the quaint cap-shaped net skirt, blended with Conna Chew, Matthias stood beside her father as Ardeacon Phillips, assisted by the Rev Robert Taft, pronounced the bans which gave her to Charles Bowie to be "loved, cherished and protected so long as you both shall live". As the bride turned, with the bouquet of sweet peas and lilies on one arm, full view was given the heart-shaped scallops on her skirt and the rhinestones on the left side of her
bodice which fairly danced in the light (clever innovations of the modiste, Mrs. Mabel Warrick); And of course, a wedding just isn't a wedding without orange blossoms! Her cool silver slippers had the grave responsibility of preventing the cream coloured chiffons from melting in the shimmering blaze of white heat and the glitter of the netlet was a gift of the ribbon-bearers. The traveling outfit was a perfectly gorgeous combination of blue velvet, and gray suede cloth, the former being the material of which Mattie's dress was fashioned, and the latter, her top coat, which flaunted a saucy for her. A solle of that same rich hue had a richer, more plump pendant in oxfordes of combined suede and kid. The handbag had to seek: recognition from the rest of the attire because the coat insisted upon being distinctive! The trousseau was the gift of the bride's sisters. The bridegroom presented his best man, Edgar Stevens, with a platinum watch band.

But for the bride, herself, Lady Bountiful had opened her storehouse of treasurers and simply deluged this little woman.
Mrs. Reba Smith Bowle and daughters, mother and sisters of the bridegroom, selected a gas stove: the Adolphus Capps, rug for the bedroom; Mrs. Hattie Smith, Charley's grandmother, a breakfast set; the Peace's a quilt and the kitchen shower; Mrs. Neal and Doris Ridgley of Washington, beautiful blanket; the Jefferson Coles, of Ohio; the George Deans, the Hazel Leigh Skippers of Savannah, G.

New Jersey Gives Ike Nut
SAYS HOOVER HUSHED UP A FLOOD REPORT
Republican Presidential Nominee Also Refused to See A Delegation
ATLANTIC CITY.—The Negro is without a party declarel Isaac Nutter, attorney and life long republican who bolted his party last week.
Some 3000 persons arose and cheered him when he said:
After asserting that Coolidge and Hoover were klan sympathizers, and the late Henry Cabot Lodge was also a klan, Attorney Nutter bitterly assailed Willebrandt and Hoover for sending Deneen to Chicago to indict Deprist. He said, if DePrist is defeated, America will for the first time in history face black anarchists.
In speaking of Bob Church, Cohen and Perry Howard, Attorney Nutter cast vitriolic denunciations against Horace Mann, who was spreading Klan propaganda. He not only invigued against this institution, but declared that Hoover and Work had kept silent, while Smith had been outspoken against the Klan. Every place in the place rose up as ous and outspoken SMITH! SMITH! SMITH!
Preceding Nutter were Edward S. Edwards, for U. S. Senate; Motor Vehicle Commissioner Dill, candidate for Governor of New Jersey. Prosecutor Repetto, Geo. Walls, and Nutterry, for U. S. Senate. U. S. Senator, Edwards declared, since Ike Nutter is with us, we are sure of election." He said the Democratic party had nothing to hide from the Republicans. It took Hoover 45 years to vote in America. Kenn is endorsed by the Anti-Saloon League and the Klan," the senator said.
G. O. P.
The G. O. P. means graft, Oil, and Prohibition, according to what the senator said. There was a terrific and defeating aplause.
Geo. Walls said the G. O. P. was a rotten tree falling to earth. And he became the man. "No party carries the Negro vote in his vest pocket," he declared.
James Lightfoot: "I have been a militant, uncertain Republican. I am now a staunch Democrat." Nutter's man. Friday, took a pot shop down down this list of whites who were made at the insignification of Negroes.
These were, beginning 1912, Bacharach made, Mayer.

Edge was made assemblyman, state senator, and U. S. Senator.
All that the Negroes got from these were an elevator operator in the senate office building in Washington. And Randolph, Asst. U. S. Attorney, who would not know he is, such only that he draws his check.
Morton in Biggest.
He asserted Republicans have more on prohibition than the cost of the Civil War. In the final analysis, he said if there is any opposition against Smith because he is a Catholic, would there not be the same against Negroes because they are Negroes?
And as to Ferdinand Morton, he holds a bigger job under Smith than any Negro in the Federal govern-

Accuse Hoover
Hoover was accused of hushing up an official report proving race discrimination in distribution of red cross supplies to Mississippi River
Walter White made a report for the N. A. A. C. P. and described conditions as so revolting that Nutter savs he wrote G. O. P. Chairman Hiles under date of June 4, 1928, declaring if Hoover were nominated, a large number of Negroes will be "I hope you will name some candidate that Negro voters can honorably support."
Beats Wife; She May Die

The skull and other injuries as a result of attack were given by her husband, Catherine Bates who had made his escape. She is in a critical condition at Maryland General Hospital.

The young woman was taken to the Provident Hospital, where she was treated for gun shot wounds to the lower abdomen. He condition is reporter seized. Curtis is being sent to the northwestern police station, pending the outcome of her injuries.

PLENTY OF DANCING IN "DUSKY FOLLIES"
Steps Of All Types And Tempos Exhibited In Royal Theatre Offering
SOME ORIGINAL COMEDY
Presentation
If dancing and laughing are your dishes, "Dusky Follies", the stage attraction playing at the Royal Theatre this week, should satisfy your appetite.
The comedy lines are taken care of by Willie Richardson and Reuben Harvey, and DefHaven and Ward ofay comics, working under cork The latter two and Richardson, however, furnish the burden of the dialogue with Harvey just "looking" in
Candy Grimes and Ella Ma Waters hold down the soubret role. Waters going thru a difficult routine of solo dance steps that browns her much mettled face in a group of dances, the best received being the Doll Dance. Other dancers who burned up the boards were Williams and Walker, a youthful pair of hoofers who know what do in the Honeypot, Honeypot, and Brownie Campbell, billed as the legomania dancer. Campbell worked up his audience well in a monolog skit and then won them by some clever and difficult stepping and singing as well.
Dale Tate, a whistler and uke strummer, was well received in "Ramona" and "Sweet Sue." Tittle Johnson, leading lady, chirped pleasingly for the customers, and while her songs may be a little "boring" to the same. Best received were her "Handy man," and "Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle." Johnnie Williams, the simp, showed up best in a school room bit while Jean-Jeanette, the mysterious half man-half woman, took up a spot on her leaving the cus-

untiringly but not ding. Bright bins in this dusky bill of foolishness were the gin scene of DeHaven and Ward and the school scene in which the entire company participated. Irvin Hughes and his Royal Symphonic Orchestra were presented on the stage and were warmly applauded for their interpretation of the lastest hits. A plenty of dance humor that's well sprinkled with originality, but weak singing, that's the "Dusky Foolies," an entertainment that somehow is a little different.
DELEGATION SEES JOE ROBINSON
LOS ANGELES, CAL.—(Special)—"We expect 10,000 colored votes from Little Rock, Arkansas, alone." Senator Joe Robinson, democratic nominee for the vice presidency told a delegation of race men and women at the Biltmore Hotel here last week.
"Rumors that I have refused to see a colored delegation," Senator Robinson siamped as propaganda to take the Negro vote from the democratic party.
"There is not a word of truth in it."
"I was present at a meeting just a few days ago when one of our leading women of the state said that for every democratic vote lost to party, it would gain two colored votes." "Activity of the ku klux klan and the lower element of the South do not have my approval nor that of the fighting men. I am for law and order. My record is the best proof."

BROWNSKIN MODELS HIT AT LAFAYETTE
Tuskegee Campus Scene Well Received By New Yorkers
NEW YORK. — Irwin C. Miller's perennial triumph, "Brown Skin Models of 1929," opened here Monday afternoon at the Lafayette Theatre,
featured in the group of sixteen Miller models is Teddy Johnson, young bronze beauty who shows up to good advantage in a series of art poses and colorful scenes.
Deserting a classroom practice, Mr. Miller offers a clean entertainment in which is incorporated a scene paying tribute to the great educator, Booker T. Washington. A view of the Tuskegee campus and a satue of the leader drew thunders of applause from the audience. Words written by Razal, under direction of the producer and conceiver of the novelty.
Eva Metcalf, that snappy soubrette, goes through her paces with a display of vim that wins the customers. Billy Young is "in with the bunch" with her songs and comedy, while Johnson Henderson and Marcelius, tenors, put their wares over the footlights, but their acrobatic artists, and the theatrical of Wille Jackson and Charlie Salius are well received. The comedy is handled by George Crawford and Harrison Blackburn, Maudina Brown, mezzo soprano, offers a pleasing repertoire of songs.

VOTE AS YOU DRINK,DARROW
declared Clarence Darrow, noted Chicago criminal lawyer in a political address here last week.
"Suppose every man votes as he did. Would Al be elected?" asked Mr. Darrow.
He then drew a comparison between the younger generation of today and that of yesterday who knew the police. He termed the republican party "the Rich Man's Club" saying it had reduced the country to a nation of sneaks, deceivers, liars and above all thieves.
He ended his remarks by saying that there are three groups in the United States who of all people should not vote for Hoover. These, he noted, the Negroes, the Catholics and the Jews.

Mrs. Maud P. Bell Says Maryland League Has Been Sidetracked
MEN ARE PAID
unteer Service, She Says
A number of women representing the Maryland League of Cotterville may bolt according to Mrs. Maud P. Bell, in a written statement this week.
Dissatisfaction, she says, has been brewing for years, at the mannequin in which the campaign is being conducted. Her statement follows:
During the 1928 Republican Primary two colored women ran on the Weller ticket as delegates to the State Convention. Mrs. Helen B. Cardoza from the 5th district and Mrs. Maud P. Bell from the 4th district.
"The 5th district was one of the districts which Weller carried. Mrs. Carloza attended the National Convention at the State League." "At the National Convention in Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Carloza was appointed chairman of the Colored Women's League." "The Maryland League of Colored Republican Women grew out of a suggestion from Mr. Galen L. Tait to help the Republican organization among women." "Wrench Thrown." "A wrench was thrown into the room of the State Republican organization. Howard E. Young was named chairman of the colored women at the State Republican Committee meeting, September 7 which was the formal opening of the meeting." "Although the women were disappointed in the appointment to the chairmanship they held, Howard E. Young in getting the eligible unregistered women on the books." "Mrs. Young, they claim, was not very anxious to work with the women in getting the eligible unregistered women on the books." "Mrs. Young, they claim, was not very anxious to work with the women in getting the eligible unregistered women on the books." "The women were patient and bore with her until she steadfastly refused to attend during the county registration days."
"After all the registration work had been done gratis, Mrs. Adelaide Green, Committeewoman, surprising that the late Mr. H. Ross directed the latent activities to the city which was under the direction of Mrs. Adelaide Green, Committeewoman, surprising that the late Mr. H. Ross was elected by the people to do. "Adding oil to the already smouldering fire Mrs. Young next instructed the staff of the organizations: Mrs. Jennie H. Ross, Church Clubs: Mrs. Annie Wright, Women of the Profession; Mrs. Elizabeth Woman, Mrs. Laura Wheatley, Teachers; Mrs. Maud P. Bell, Social and Utility Clubs: Mrs. George Holand, Women of the Profession. "The above group leaders are requested to stage radio parties, teacet, and as many other functions to interest women for the Republican
"When approached on the subject of finance, Mrs. Young has been instructed to tell her group that those men who the men are being paid valuably.
"At the expiration of this time the chairman, growing weary, inquired of Mr. Lowndes from her secretary as the delay. Mrs. Lowndes was reached by telephone. She was holding a meeting with white women in League Hall, the impossible the chairman that day but she could come back on Monday.
"Mrs. Tait was scheduled to meet a delegation of Colored Women from all sections of Maryland, Friday, 2 P.M.
"He notified chairman of delegation, and he sent members of the delegation were almost ready to start; that due to 'campaign engagements' he could
the delegation came but failed to see their State Chairman.
The aim of the league is to hold the county workers will make reports and have the district congressional and representative candidates address them and ascertain their attitude toward the race.
Want To Know
They feel that the time has passed when the lawmakers can pass and the voters to vote for them; without first learning for what the names stand.
During this campaign the Senate congressional candidates seem to very hard to attend meeting held by the colored constituents.
They either ignore or find it in-
"These and various other Instructions seem to say bury me, but not want you."
"Some of the women in the delegation are: Mrs. Maud P. Bell, Mrs. Clara E. Harris, Mrs. Helen M. F. Kearns, Mrs. Rick Doulssell, Mrs. Sadie Dorsey Mrs. Bessie Boston, Mrs. Florence Smith, Mrs. Bessie Scott, Mrs. Carrie Brown, Mrs. Milred McCormack Mrs. Mary Robinson, Mrs. Addie McCormack Mrs. Carol Chel Matthews, Mrs. Esther Patterson, Mrs. Hattie Johnson, Mrs. Martha Williams, Mrs. Izella Gant, Mrs. A.

In Jealous Rare
According to the judge, the trouble started when she attempted to cease relations with Polit, which had existed for several years. He had become so unbearable that she had decided to end the friendship.
"I guess that he wouldn't stand for it," she said. On the night previous to the killing, she said, he had watched for her most of the night, but she had hung around the house, she said, and it was only when she feared for her life that she asked a man to get police attention. "I know what happened after that," she concluded.

The Mitzi Club's Latest Fad In Subscription Dances, Was Staged At Penn Hotel, Friday Evening—New York Night Life Was The Feature Of The Elaborate Affair Of The Elk's Tuesday Evening—Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Hole there. The man who invented a ball is right. The Indian summer days certainly are hot, and why not—and so the baseball appets, and why note—and so the baseball appets continue to be played Sunday afternoons, while football keeps the cars in confusion on the pilches of excited rover ones.
Then the unusual amount of subscription dances seem to amount to the number among the seers, whether Forbes or their things later, or for a new hat and coat, we have but to lay a wad and take matter, and to make a few more and full of excitement of every sort and kind, for the next four months to come. The latest things, Panay, was the last Guild affair on Friday evening last.
The Mitzl Club Hostess At
Renaissance Dance
The Miltel Club, dearte, takes the cup for the latest fad in subscription dances, though it proved a bitter cup to some of their guests: their method went thru with a bang. Come to think of it, no wonder, because of the ladies involved, and because as a rule, women folks get what they go after everytime—but back to the event, you were admitted with a subscription of fifty cents; you were furnished with good music: the hall was tastefully decorated, and the punch which was sold for ten cents a glass, was refreshing and good as it goes now. The folks were congenial, everybody knew each other and the time went along exceptionally pleasant with their sixty cents or more well spent—but when their net gave warning of fatigue and the gathering began to think about departure and home—who should be mounted at the door but our good little friends, all attention, with well maning of be determined countenance, the officers of the club, Dorothy Howard, Irene Roye, Father Francis and Anna Moore, in their charming manner, that can melt a man's heart in amoment, says, ten cents to go.
Yes, they paid it, each and every one of them, and it made them happy. They paid them clubs—to When they got outside, they were thinking a mute a minute. However, when you are to be congratulated for the success you made of the success, but bear in mind cool faces come back in school making nothing, while the others are either spending all on their backs and owing back jobs or jobs. However, together with the members, Ruth Moore, Celestine Thomas, Ethan Hale, Bustie Hawkins, Justine Morris, Alfira Miller, Dorothy Norghet and Blanch Langley, we like you all very much won't fall out about that extra cent.

The men were granted the parole upon the recommendation of Judge Uliman who sentenced the men and after he had conducted the trial, sentence since the trial. The two men and the women were together when the allegation prime took place. The judge made no objection until after an argument with Johnson over some money matters, when she threatened to have him arrested because he refused to give her the money.

George Thomas Convicted Of Assault On Seven Year Old Child
Had Threatened Victim With Death If Accused
Convicted of criminally assaulting seven-year-old Julia, Smith, 700, Eislen street, on September 5, George Thomas, 612 Eislen street, was sentenced to serve 15 years in the Maryland Penitentiary, in Criminal Court, Friday.
Testimony at the trial showed that Thomas, who was a boarder in the home, had induced the mother to leave the house to purchase some provisions, and while she was absent carried out the attack. The 'rl testified that he threatened her with death if she told what occurred.
Child Became Ill
It was only after the child became very ill and an examination showed that she was suffering with a social disease that she admitted having been attacked, accusing Thomas. Further investigation showed that Thomas had himself of his attack by his crime, having been superstitiously told that an attack on a virgin girl would give relief.

Morgan Dean Urges "Independence" At Inter-Racial Forum Meeting
Have Become Disgusted With Republicans
Declaring that he had become disstuished with the Republican party and that we could expect nothing from Democrats, Dean John W. Haywood flayed both major parties at the Interracial forum, Sunday.
In his address he denounced the Republican party "for its perfidy and apostasy in forgetting the humanitarianism and justice toward our race that attended its inception.
"Many of my color are going to vote for 'A1' Smith," Haywood said. "I think he is a pretty good man and I too, have become disgusted with the Republican party. I have been many times on the point of urging my colleagues Negroes in articles and public addresses to vote for Smith, but I have always been held back by the thought that it would be a futile gesture for us to make.
"What can the Negro expect from the Democrats? After the Democrats, or rather the Southern Negro, as more than 8,000,000 of us are still in the South. Can the Southern Negro expect anything from the-Southern Democrats? They do not even want his vote. For the second week, two times the same political parties were flayed by a speaker at the Interracial Forum meeting in Carpenter's Hall. At the open meeting Richard B. Moore, who is a candidate for Concern on the Twenty-first District on the Communist ticket, scored Republicans, Democrats and Socialists. Political discussions will be continued at the meeting of the Forum on this Sunday when representatives of each party tell why each desires the Negro's vote. H. Chause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be the speaker for the Democrats. Philip Botkin will tell why he should support the Communist Party. The Forum meets each Sunday afternoon at six o'clock at Carpenter's Hall, 715 N. Eutaw street.

The Rev. J. H. Waters Says Membera Are Both Gamblers And Hypocrites
PROHIBITION BAD
Easy Living Desire Is Rapped
Declaring that members of his church must either give up membership or numbers playing, the Rev. John H. Waters, of Wesley M. E. Church, flayed the practice in his sermon, Sunday morning. The Rev. Mr. Waters declared that a Christian gambler is worse than a sinner gambler and a stench in God's nostrils.
Makes Survey
The pastor's admonition was given following a survey in which he said he not only found the playing of numbers prevalent in the church community but that he found a large number of members taking a
These people, he said, are not only gambiers, but they are hypocrites and the church is no place for them. He did not do anything, he explained, "and if you had any idea that I was guilty of such you would raise your voice in alarm and demand that I be removed as an unfit person to conduct services in the church." Saw Children
The pastor declared that he had seen children going into places where number writers ply their trade and believed they were sent there by their parents probably were ashamed themselves.
Speaking on the prohibition question, he said it was a failure.
"Something has got to be done about the situation," he said. "The church has got to act sincerely in doing its part. People who are guilty of the things that I have just spoken of do not belong in the church. They should be true to themselves and God. You should do what you do is resign, and when they feel that they can live as Christians should, then they should come back into the church and go into the world as living examples of the living Christ and as mockers of his teachings and ideas."

Rev. W. W. Walker Defines "The World" in Sunday Sermon
CHECKERS AND CARDS
May Be Right Or Wrong, He Says
Declaring that the Lord did not require abstraction from the world, but protection from its evils, the Rev. W. W. Walker defined "Worldliness" in his sermon, Sunday morning.
"You will, never, get at the meaning of the world" or worldliness by obeying what a game of checkers is considered unworldly and a game of cards is considered worldly. I must know why a game of croquet is considered unworldly and a game of poll-indoor croquet is considered worldly. It is possible to avoid all the so-called worldly things and yet be completely worldly-
"Worldliness is an attribute of soul is life deyold of a high calling; it is life that looks forward but not upward; it is a life that does not receive holy presences and has no holy places; it is life whose success is what men call success; it is the non-spirited element in life that makes a man worldly.
"Worldly people are in an overwhelming majority. Being such a small minority we politicians to view differently, peculiar people it is our opportunity to make up a noble peculiarity."
Attracted by the screams of a woman, police entered the home of Mrs. Maggie Newman, 1313 Pennsylvania avenue and found her fluent French, with two razors her pockets. She was fired $20 and cost in magistrate's court.

That about $15,000 has been spent in repairing window panes in the schools of the city from August 15th to the present date was reported by the business manager at the meeting of the Board of School Commissioners last Thursday afternoon.
According to Dr. David Weglen, superintendent of schools, circulars have been sent to all principals asking them to report on the number of window lights, broken in their buildings together with the name of the persons responsible for same.
Theodore E. Straus, member of the board, placed some of the blame on the Juvenile Court, stating that when boys are apprehended for breaking the window panes in the school buildings, they are given a lecture and padded and that such leniency does not tend to correct this big item of expense.
Mrs. Dorothy C. De Leon and Joseph Millender, teachers in the public schools of the city, tendered their resignations which were accepted by the Board.
Mrs. De Leon, who has been a teacher of French in the Douglass High School for the past three years and a resident of Washington, is leaving the system to accept a position in Washington public schools Her resignation is effective November
Mr. Millender gave up his position as teacher of physical education in the local schools to enter Howard University.

Back Door, Kow Towing Jim Crow Race Leader Must Go
Back door,kow towing leaders who sell out for a mess of pottery must go, declared Armond W. Scott, D. C. attorney, at the second anniversary of the Pride of Baltimore lodge of Elks held at Metropolitan M. E. Church Sunday.
"We must teach our children to feel that they are inferior to no one, regardless of race or color and the group must co-operate with one another to the end that we establish economic independence," declared the speaker.
During the progress of the Pride of Baltimore Lodge under the administration of Dr. James H. Hilburn, Mr. Scott declared that any order which is made up of fraternal hypocrites and human parasites, must sooner or later be numbered with the forgotten past. Charity, justice, and family, are the foundation principles upon which the order is built.
What the race needs most today is fearless and unselfish Christian leaders imbued with the spirit of human brotherhood. We need race consciousness and solidarity. The speaker paid a tribute to the AFAO AMERICAN stating that it was in the development of independent racial development. He urged the Elks to practice the spirit of cooperation in business.
Hilburn Gives History
Exalted Ruler James H. Hilburn gave a short history of the Pride of Baltimore Lodge in which he was distributed more than $100 in sick claims, $1,700 to worthy charities and $1,300 to equip a private room at Provident Hospital. Fifteen members of the vowel had died during the last years.
Miss Ida R. Cummings, Daughter Ruler, also reported the progress made by her division. Other numbers included a professional. Invocation by the Re' Ernest Williams and by a address to W.

Dr. Rhetta is president of the Alumni Association of Howard University, president of the trustee board, Washington Annual Conference M. E. Church, and is a member of the sitting grand jury for college endorsements for membership on the Baltimore Board of School Commissioners and has practiced medicine in the city for a score of years.
The letter reads:
An Open Letter to Mr. Herbert Howe Republican Candidate for the Presidency of the United States:
"We have voted the Republican ticket for all of these many years. But before we decide how our ballots shall be cast, Mr. Herbert Hoover to definitely take a stand with reference to the K. K. K.
"It has been very clearly and persistently stated that Mr. Hoover has gone out for and gotten the face of an attack for the morrors of all. In the face of all, Mr. Hoover has remained silent. We most sincerely hope that Mr. Hoover will neither by silence or by expression endorse the attack. We go to the polls arm in arm with the K. K. K.
Organized Hate
"The K. K. K. was originally organized for the purpose of further oppressing our already then enslaved fathers and mothers. It was reorganized (after our Boys had gone to war for this country, in France coming into contact with people with less hatred in their hearts), for the purpose of showing our returning soldiers, and here we did not abate because they had their lives for their country.
"The whole record of the Klan is one of the lowest type of hatred. In the beginning, it was hatred of Negroes. It has since broadened its scope to hatred of Jews Catholics and all foreign-born people. Regardless of all else we definitely announce that we cannot go to the polls to vote for anyone who is trading with the K. K.
Can't Work With K. K. K.
"Experience shows that a democrat will do as much or as little for our people as a republican; or he will enforce as much or as little of the 6th Amendment to experience the same, such issues as this same experience, goin' in arm with the Klan.
"Before deciding how our votes shall be cast on the 6th of November, we call upon Mr. Hoover to break his silence on this purported Klan support of his candidacy."

Branding the Republican party as a putrid carcass, as having deserted the principles upon which it rose to power, and with having sold its interest in the Negro for a mess of southern pottage, Julian D. Rainey, Neval Thomas, Ex-Mayor Howard W. Jackson and others urged a packed audience of Smith followers to make sure that he rolled up an unprecedented majority in Baltimore city next month.
The meeting, which fairly sparkled with strong invective and cutting thrusts, was one of the most enthusiastic gatherings ever held here.
Paying his respects to the republicans, whom he said had kicked the Negro out of the fold at the behest of Colonel Wise of Virginia, Mr Rainey proceeded to shatter the two main arguments made, he said, by Negro apologists for the shame of the republican party.
The difference between the reaction of a white democrat and a white republican was merely geographic, he said. A democratic Smith from North Carolina was more liberal than a lily-white republican from Mississippi. The argument that the South would be in the saddle if Smith is elected is as much of a fallacy as to say that man like Moorfield Storey would man wrong because he was a democrat. In official appointments, he said, the Negro fared much better under the only two democratic presidents, Cleveland and Wilson, than they have under Coolidge. Taft or Harding.
Under Hoover, he declared, there is nothing to hope, because in fact with the South he has definitely committed himself to a policy with which he eliminated the Negro. The process of elimination began at Kansas City and in the wake has followed Perry Howard, Walter Cohen, Benjamin Davis and Robert R. Church.
Fight Intolerance
The one issue above all others, he says, is the fight against the republican party this year means a vote for all the ku klux klan, and the religious bigots stand for, and the Negro cannot afford, scourged as they have been by intolerance, to help cruelty Al Smith on a cross of religious bigotry.

He reviewed his fight against segregation in the White House urging a "revolt from the treason of an infamous, purty, thug." The president said, "for we are already living crushed and outraged as American citizens. We can only take the method of any defeated our backs on our false enemies and army which has been betrayed, turn us over to the enemy." "We can at last afford to take a gambler's chance; for any gambler will take a chance on a game in which he knows he cannot lose."

Senator Bruce Favored Disfranchisement of Negroes in 1909 Goldsborough THEIR FRIEND
In the Baltimore "Sun," October 25, 1909, the name of Senator Bruce appears in a declaration favoring the Strauss Amendment Disfranchising Negroes. As late as January, 1928, in the U. S. Senate, Senator Bruce declared that the Fifteenth Amendment giving Negroes the right to vote was one of those BLUNDERS that was WORSE than a CRIME.
Gov. Goldsborough, now candidate for the U. S. Senate, opposed the Poe, the Diggs and the Strauss Disfranchising Amendments and believes that the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment giving Negroes the right to vote was essential to establish their full rights as citizens.
Since Governor Goldsborough's Republican friends came into control of Maryland Federal affairs in 1921, about 400 members of the colored race have received appointments and promotions in the various Federal offices in Maryland.
A vote for Bruce is a vote for one who would have taken from you your right to vote.
A vote for Goldsborough is a vote for a FRIEND OF THE NEGROES' RIGHT TO VOTE.

Before a record breaking crowd, Chambers, Haney, Dupree, Dalton, Squat Johnson and rumped for the title and renoun. Clark, using a baffling aerial attack, beat the Tigers at their own game. The passing combination from Baker to Dalton and from Baker to Dupree was too much for the
Score In Last Period
Securing call their tallies in the last fifteen minutes of play. The Panthers came from behind to place their school in the spotlight. Baker threw a pass to Dalton, who in a sensational running catch, received the 50-yard line and ran the remaining 40 yards, a touchdown, equal. Johnson missed a placement for the extra point.
With their backs to the wall in the last 4 minutes of play, Chambers made a beautiful end run for yards, placing the pigeon on the Tuskegee Island. On the next charge and the Tuskegee secondary defense got to Chambers and threw him for a 10-yard loss. At this point the passing combination from Baker to DuPree placed the two yard line, but it was fourth down.
Naney, All-American of last year, was taken from guard to take the oval over and on a perfect line back he leaped over the entrant. He was taken out of the Tuskegee was inside therefore adding the extra point for the Atlantians. Coach Abbot sent out all his passing combinations but they were broken up by Chambers, who prevailed with defender He knocked down very pass thrown by Tuskegee and a bear on backing up the line. Shonklin, in the early part of the game, ran 24 and caught backdown, the other points coming when "Rie" Roberts was tackled behind the goal line by Belcher of Tuskegee. This is the first defent that the champion Tuskegee eleven yards suffered out of 32 starts.

HAMPTON SURPRISES VA. STATE AND WINS
Muffed Punts Contribute To Downfall Of Petersburg Warriors
PETERSBURG, Va. — Conservative, but steady football won over tricky, but treacherous gridiron tactics, here Saturday when the big Blue and White team from Hampton carried out a 16-0 victory over the Va. State College Hiltoppers at McKenzie Park. The Hiltoppers with their strong aerial game, however, were a constant threat, and only clever leadership, combined with the breaks of the game placed the Seasiders on the sunny side of the scoring column. The game had a direct bearing on the championship cups of the two teams, dimming the chances of the Martinsmen for the A. gonfalon.
The first score came after about five minutes of play in the first quarter. The Hilltopppers kicked to the Big Blue and White machine. They received the ball through the Blue and Glove and for 30 vards. No time was lost and Baker was called on to kick in the first play. The kick was high. Royal fumbled and the ball was recovered by McGowan. Hampton on Hampton's driving power called on and resisted admirably. Baker and Jones being the shinny right end by Baker but Hampton on the three vard line and Jones. Hampton's powerful fullback drove the line for the first score. A place kick by Baker resulted in the extra
Another Muffed Punt
**ANNO**
Hampton kicked 'l' Va. State after the touchdown and practically the same break came to the Hilltopers when Byrd muffed a punt. The State boys could not carry their advantage out, although in scoring distance, to the balance of the half Marvin's proteges had the back and placed Hampton's back to the wall. The whistle for the first half saved Hampton when the Hilltopers were driving for a touchdown on ten yards away. Baker Kirk goal.
The second came in the third quarter when Hampton got a pretty good break and had Va. State's back to the wall. — but this time the Hilltopers held Hampton for downs and Baker was called to place kick, when the case was third and last score came when one of Zio Johnson's wild passes was intercepted by "Bean" Guess in the last quarter. Guess was downed about ten yards before the goal. Then the wripping up brums began their wripping up five and six. It was not before Guess was called on again to carry over the touchdown that he made possible by the interception of the pass.

When the bench warmers start to discuss the question of who was responsible for the Black Sox 2-1 victory over Fritz Maise's All-Stars (white) Sunday, they will certainly have to mention Frank Warfield.
The game was a pitcher's battle between Yokely and Jack Ogden, St. Louis Browns being evicted by the fact that each moundman allowed but four hits while only one error was made during the game.
Sex Talley First
The Black Sox tallied their pair of runs in the first stanza when Beckwith smacked one of Ogden's shoots over the left garden wall. Holloway, on base via the pass route, trotted in ahead of the slugging Homesteader. Foxx His Homer
The All-Stars made a bid in the second when Jimmy Foxx, white, youthful star of the Athletics, crash-one of Yokelv's benders over the fence, the sacks being uninhabited at the time. Although Foxx was the first man to face Yokelv in this ing the side was retired in quick order without further threat of scor-
Sensational Catching
On several occasions Yokely was saved from embarrassment by sensational catches by the Golden slammed one out in the third inning that looked good for a pair of bases only to have the spectators send the Stars' hopes upremier.
Bishop had the same thing happen to him in the fifth when Lerian on second, following a double, he poised one in deep right center, he looked as if it would ride the fence. Charleston, travelled forward, right field at the midway speed, snared the bale the run and made Lerian bide his time at the midway station. Porter's short fly to left field seemed a sure safety in the eighth but "Crush" Holloway, coming in with terrific speed, snatcher the ball from his shootstrings. Two hands were out and a man was on third, so that a miss would have meant a knotted score. Stars Threaten in 8th Matters looked dangerous for the Sox in the ninth, however, when Foxx opened with a triple, the ball being a difficult one for Jess Hubbard get. The big fielder bayed his hands on the ball and then dropped it. Foxx pulls up at the hot corner as the ball was returned to the
Moore, next man up, hit to Yokely. With a man on third, only one out, and Thomas, hard hitting shortstop and on the next pitch, the heart of the plate, with a strike. Maisel, onench, signalled for a hit and run play, and it was here that Warfield used his noodle.
**Warfield's Judgment**
Following a suggestion from Warfield, Thomas hit a high, and bats to Thomas, a short man, expecting another strike, followed the signal to bunt and Foxx started sampering toward home plate. Thomas missed his attempt at bunting and Foxx was caught flat-footed on the plate. The fans hit Thomas ended the game he hit out to Linky Dung.
The hurling of the opposing pitcher was some of the best seen here this season. Each pitcher out four. Yokelmi robbed Ogden twice and Neum once twice and Ogden whiffed Yokelmi twice and put the Indian sign once on Charleston and Jess Hushard. The eagle eye and strong arm of Clarke cut off many stolen bases while the rapidfire play of Thomas, Bishop and Neum robbed the Sox of a scouring opportunity on a brilliant double pitch.
Features
Ogden's pitching and the hitting and fielding of Bishop and Foxx featured for the Stars while Clarke with two doubles and Beckwyn with a home run, led the Sox pitching, while Yokelmi's pitching and the fielding of Charleston and Holloway furnished other things.
Stars Win Nightcap
The stars bested the Black Sox in the five-inning nightcap, making nine hits count for as many runs while the locals were only garner one call, the two teams have two names apiece so that the meeting Sunday will be an occasion for another bitter contest.

Take Movies Of Tiger-'Force Game
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA—Tuskegee will begin athletic relations with Wilherforce University in a football game which will be played in the Alumni Bowl on October 27. The Tigers have made a brilliant record within the past six years, having won 44 games, tied six and lost one. On the other hand has usually had a corking good football teams and will come South with a peculiar style of play that has been a most effective
scout
The Lincoln Junior High School will send its football team to play the Tuskegee Bulldogs, and eleven composed of youngsters from 12 to at 10:00 o'clock in the morning, jacksonville, Florida, will send an at-tation, while special parties in Atlanta, Columbus and Savan-
man. A comparison of weights will show that the Big Green eleven is heavier than the Tuskegee team, both on the line and in the backfield. Wilberforce will have Boyd, Mendenhall, Nixon, Horn, Lewis, Lucan and Ward. In Duncan and Robinson, Tuskegee will be well cared for on the flanks; strength is being added to the forward wall and several reserve men have been promoted to the Varsity team. Placefully have the Tuskegee 72 place Varsity Band will play. Dr. Moton will vary the graduates, former students and friends to the Institute.
Colorgrams, Inc., producers of theatrical and industrial motion pictures, of Chicago, Illinois, is sending a special camera-man to film the game.
Union Has Good New Material
There is some very promising material on Union's second team which will bear watching. One of the boys is Lee Roy Grene, Greenfield, Ohio, who played four years the quarter-back position on the McClain High School
Built by a giant, only eighteen years of age, and weighing 190 pounds, Theodore R. Lawson, brother of Fred D. Lawson—Coach of the High Football Team at Roanoke, the Argentine has decided to play football. He is still in the rookie level, the argentine he should be a tower with the season advantages.
Norfolk, Virginia, is represented this year on Union's Varsity Squad by "Teddy" Boyd, product of Booker T. Washington High School. Boyd is holding down the left guard position and is playing the game again. Lincoln was of the first and second teams from Norfolk, and his first residence felt are "Slim" Peters, their rangy end of the second team and "Lucky" Tolliver, the diminutive quarterback. Bernard Smith, last year's second string center who has just recently returned to school is the first to play in the pivot position since the season began, will in all probability be seen in action before the season closes.
Aggies And Union In Big C. I. A. A. Tilt
GREENSBORO, N. C.—Two of the bitterest rivals in College football will meet here, Friday, October 26th, when Union Panthers of "Ole Virginia" grapple with the Aggie Bulldogs in the Memorial Stadium. For the past five years, these teams have played unusually close games. Last year A, and T. College won by one touchdown. In 1926, the Panthers defeated the Aggies 7 to 6. In the other games played, there has always been a margin of only one point of a touchdown, a date of advantage in number of games won, a date of one game behind the Virginians. This encounter which is billed for GreenSBORO will have a marked bounce on the C. I. A. A. games. Neither team has lost an
association game.
The C. I. A. A. Champs are suffering from many injuries which will seriously handicap their prospects. Streeter, the veteran end has been out of line-up due to an injury sustained in the Tuskegee falt. Falk, the heady quarter may be lost to the team because of a sprained ankle while "Bus" Coleman, the all American triple threat ace is confined to his bed because of it.

THERE are no better dressed feet in America than the feet that run the touchdowns for Old Nassau. So Newark asked what footgear Princeton men prefer. And here it is...a neat black oxford. Dressy as a Tuxedo. Collegiate as a Varsity song. An oxford equally at home on any campus in America.
You can buy this very shoe today in any of Newark's 500 stores. And for all its Princeton looks and Princeton manner you will pay just $4.00. Because Newark's four big, efficient factories sell direct to you through Newark stores.

AERIAL ATTACK FAILS
Breaux Bests Moore In
Punting Duel
By RICHARD H. COOK, JR.
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—With Breaux and McFarlin as their big guns the Va. Union gridders boomed to a 19-0 victory over the St. Paul eleven, here Saturday afternoon, the victory putting a decided dent into the Saints' C. I. A. A. championship aspirations.
In the first quarter Breaux got away with one of his thrilling end runs and it was not until he had been forced outside that his forty yard run was completed. On the next play, MacFarlin made eight yards thrue the left side more on the next play, the right side more, make a first down. Union next tried a forward pass but was incomplete. A short pass, Breaux to Williams, was just short of another first down. St. Paul then kicked and Red Allen ran the ball back eight yards before was downed to off tackle plays. Union plunged another first down. At this stage of the game the first quarter ended with the ball in Union's possession on St. Paul's 23-yard line.
Beginning of the second period Cotton made twelve years on two off-tackle plays. This placed the ball on St. Paul's eleven-yard-MacFarlin on the next two atemps. MacFarlin made two atemps by terrific fugues through the center of the line. Breaux failed to kick goal. St. Paul received on her 21-yard-line and Baylor placed the ball upon the ground unprotected and Cotton, who had just clipped an opposing ball, picked the pigskirt an for about ten yards towards his goal before he secured his biceps and then he returned in the opposite direction for about thirty yards before he was tackled.

Playing their annual classic, the football teams of Armstrong High School, Washington, and the Douglass High School "Ducks" met at Maryland Park, Friday, the Teachs copping an easy 20-0 victory. The outstandings left the game as the left half-back of the visitors, who scored two of his team's touchdowns, both after having made long and brilliant runs. Stalks, Armstrong right half back, made the other score for Armstrong. Only once did the "Ducks" threaten, and when they had the Armstrong's 15-yard line, only to lose it on downs. On other occasions the "Ducks" fumbled or failed to gain. Doram, Berry and Queen played best for the losers.

2ND HALF SCORELESS
Pennsylvanians Had Counted On Easy Victory
OXFORD, Pa., (Special). — Launching a vicious offensive and displaying defense that took their Pennsylvanians rivals by surprise, the Virginia Seminary Dragons battled on even terms with the Lincoln Lions, here Saturday, the final battle of the day. When the toe was needed to pinnish a margin of victory for the driving punch that was vital at critical moments failed to materialize with fury sufficient to manufacture any other scoring. A bumble by Lincoln, during the early stages of the first period, placed the team from there "Baldy" Watson steamed across the last white fur for six points, "Reds" Darts
missed in his try for the extra point. The score was knotted in the second quarter when the starters a powerful shot from the 48-yard line. An attempted pass failed, and thrusts at the line were made by Clark, and Harmon, putting the ball on the four-yard marker. From this point Lamar, Lincoln right halfback, carried the plinkgus to the attempt at scoring a failure. The remaining two periods were scoreless, both sides resorting to kicking and attempting a cautious air game. Henderson and Fowler at ends, and Watson in the backfield made the best shot from the play of Clark Lamar, Harmon and Sydnor stood out best for the Lion pack.

WASHINGTON — For the second

The victory, the third for Coach Charles West's proteges in as many starts, is a test of patience, although Morchestan at no time furnished a menace in the way of scoring, and he was not down first, down against 13 for Howard, these two coming as the result of a passing attack unleashed in the closing moments of the last game.
Bad Judgment
The game was marked by several instances of poor judgment, one of the most glaring being one of the first quarter. With the ball on the 25-yard line, after having covered a Morehouse blocked knee down the first quarter back signal-for forward pass, the ball going over the goal with Howard losing the ball on the next play. No attempt was made thru the kine. Blocked kine for Howard's pass came during the first period when Drew blocked a Morehouse point on the visitors' 22-yard line. A pass, a drive, and Marshall made first down. Ross slipped around left end for the touchdown. The Bisons were awarded the point after touchdown on the try. The period ended with Morehouse in possession of the ball on her 30-yard line.
An exchange of kicks in the second half found Howard in possession of the ball near midfield. Coles punted 30 yards to Morrow. Morrow took the next play attempted a forward pass. Jeffries had the ball in his fingers and a clear field ahead of him, only to tuggle back. Morrow scored. Morehouse's best scoring chance. On the second down. Morehouse booted the oval and Howard, by a series of plunges, the ball to the 15-yard line, only to have Morehouse recover, the ball when Ross fumbled. The Maroon pinter immediately booted out of
Use Air Attack
Howard opened up more and more with her baffling aerial attack at the beginning of the second half and then passing game working with precision got the ball to the 10-yard line where Ross skirted the end for another touchdown only to the 10-yard penalty imposed when it was shown that a Howard man was holding during the play. West Coaching On Sidelines The Howard end was quick on getting back of the Morehouse defense and time after time Simpson crushed thru to smear an attempt wall being unable to withstand the pressure of the invading Bisons. Howard lost a chance to score when after having smashed the ball on the 20-yard line, Coles placed the ball on the 10-vard line only to have Howard penalized 15 yards when Coach West was found to be giving signals from the side line.
West had been warned before by Headlinesman Washington, following the death of Morhouse, but refused to recognize that official's authority. The last quarter was marked by another exchange of punts, the game ended with Morhouse being downed on pass and was downed on the visitors' 45-yard line.
Morhouse Forced To Kick
Morhouse Forced To Kick, the game kicked on the second down, showing that the Bison forward wall and secondary defense has been stiffened considerably during the past week. Morhouse's own kick and both on the offensive and defensive, and the play of Jefferies, Brown and Saunders stood out for the Maroons, who did not hold David and Webb, Drew and Simpson on the line, played a stellar game. Marshall's
passes to Simpson showed that the Jersey boy has accuracy and speed, the longest pass being good for 43 Nine of 22 passes were completed. Howard's football field was poorly policed, spectators leaving the thousands of grandstand seats available to crowd along the side lines. R. O. Campbell, a campus employee were ineffective in keeping the playing field clear.

Fisk Outweighed
The Fisk team was outweighed ten pounds to the man, but outplayed their opponents in both halves of the game. The Fisk forwards were upon the Wilberforce runners many times. The Fisk forwards, Wilberforceans were alert in intercepting passes, some of which might have proved dangerous. The game was over in the first individual stars. There was no opportunity for long spectacular runs but for short, steady, consistent gains only. Yost was outstanding while Wilberforce was not. Niruz of Wilberforce for unnecessary first quarter was removed a.ong with roughness. After Yost left the game Edwards, right tackle for Fisk, did some fine kicking, getting Fisk out what might have become a bad bole.
Bulldogs Threaten
The most hair-raising point of the game was in the last quarter with one minute left to play Wilberforce dropped and had to leap for tackle for Fisk, broke thru the line and blocked a kick, recovering the ball and running 15 yards, placing the ball in the end zone. With a half minute to play Gee completed a forward pass to Cox for 7 yards. Thommil went off tackle and the ball was hit by the whistle blew and the game ended with the ball in Fisk's possession resting on Wilberforce's 7 yard line with a score of 0- 0.

The Bluefield team has used a slashing plunging, speedy running attack with Graves and begins as the star performers, and they have relied upon an attack with Cain on the throwing end and Bulford, Jeffries and Drew as the

For reason Morgan has gone to upstate New York in which local fans react by turning out will depend whether or not the authorities will feel justified in bringing other big attractions here in the future. Lincoln and Howard have been booked to meet the Bears at Morgan
Morgan, with Coach Bill Taylor serving his first year as football mentor, has some good material and should give the West Virginiaians a right, although it must be admitted that the odds are in Blueden's favor. Injuries suffered by Morgan men in early season at Annapolis two weeks ago have caused no small amount of anxiety in the Bears' camp and every team being made to have the Methodist Saturday.
dissertation.
In justice to Coach Taylor it should be said that the problem of keeping the players in training at Morgan is no easy one. With some of the players living on the campus and others living in town, it has been an impossibility to see that they keep training rules. Not singling out Morgan for playing was seen out at a late hour, and singling out. But all of these things are not given in the sense of alibis. Morgan will fight hard Saturday, else I miss my guess. Bus service is being provided, making a direct connection with the electric car line. Watch the Blues and the Bears.
NOT LONG AGO a certain group of gentlemen questioned the press on how best to secure publicity for their athletic teams, particularly football teams.
Acting as an unofficial spokesman this double col. director, in the issue of Oct. 6 on these very pages, told the inquiring gentlemen the secret to making the team appear well known. The seemingly, have completely ignored the counsel or have quickly forgotten it. All of the men know who they are. Since the inquiry was made two games (incomplete) have been sent in. this athletic conference there have been at least eight or the games played. The gentlemen ask for publicity. Is it any wonder then, that
And while on this matter of cooperation with the press there is another matter which eventually should be settled. That is the matter of providing accommodations for the humble scribes who turn out to chronicle the gridiron doings of the nation's teams. Why is it that no preparations at all are made for the typewriter pounders who loyally

The Yale "Daily News," student publication, in an editorial has asked for a shelter in the Yale Bowl for the protection of the newspaper, and this editorial has called for another from the New York "World News" journal.
"The neglected of newspapermen by most of the athletic associations of the country is a holder from the old days of 100 per cent amateur sport, when the fiction prevailed that the news would not seek publicity, and that the news would be in at football games, and the additional truth is that the gate receipts would be appreciably lower if the newspapers ignored the contests. The papers cannot ignore the games, because they are news; but to our notion the sport is disproportionate among the games, and it is silly for the athletics team to pretend that they don't need the newspapers; that they could fill the costly stadia even if the newspapers merely announced that such a game would be played on such a Saturday. They couldn't fill the stands, and that is the reason that they must make this season."
Of course there may be a few details in the above statement that do not apply in their entirety to race schools, but the principle of the thing is ironclad. Since our schools have no press boxes as such, not provide some select and restricted area where newspapermen may

A BELATED RECognition has come to Al Brown, who last week was named by the National Boxing Association as the bantamweight champion. His quest for the title has led him from Panama to New York and Paris, from whence he returned last summer to begin the drive that brought him this honor. The New York Boxing Commission, however, does not recognize Brown as the winner, expecting that he would be the national body will eventually force recognition from the various stage boxing Commissions. Brown deserves all the credit that has come to him and the lanky boy, neatly 6 feet tall and weighing around 180 pounds, by the way. Stanley when the nation's fistic fathers suggested an elimination among the heavyweights to determine the rightful leader, did you notice that again they gave our George Godfrey the trigi scapula?
COMES A LETTER to this department from George E. Brice, star quarterback at Howard University from 1910 to 1915, which calls my attention to a trio or two.
Mr. Brice, now living at Warrenton, Va. views a phase of Howard's athletic situation from the point of view of many alumni. His com-
"The criticism printed in your columns regarding the local talent who officiate in most of the games played by Howard University certainly is deserving of comment. There is no doubt as to the ability of Mr. Henderson, our coach, and Mr. Douglass. These men have been in the game for a long time and do keep up with the rules. This they exemplify in administering their decisions. However, I feel that the Howard team bears the bunt of power and the more because of the skill and the always being criticized because of their ruthlessness rather than actual violations of rules.
On account of the usual criticism directed at these men, they naturally go into action as players. This is done in order that sympathizers with the opposition and newspapers in general may not criticize their decisions. In the case of these gentlemen are handicap-

On the other hand it seems that the other perpetual official Mr. Washington has outgrown his effectiveness as an official. His general attitude toward players and his coworkers edily against it, the best principles to be established among players .....
For six years I played quarterback for Howard and at that time I constantly came under his officiating. In the last ten years I have witnessed games under his rulings and once or twice have worked in games with him. His tendency is always to tie on the stronger team and not to tie on a situation wherein he may lose the position of being called as official for the next game, after him grave, the offense.

In the Johnson C. Smith vs. Howard game, White, the right end of Johnson C. Smith and Simpson, left end for Howard engaged in right. Mr. Washington ran out separated them and made the players shake hands. He then left the field to the President of Home Depot, sitting with Mr. Scott, Sec. and Mr. Scott.

when he asked Mr. Eller of the National Benefit, Dr. Bailey of Norfolk and Dr. Hurst, as well as myself witnessed this event and heard the remarks coming from Mr. Washington. I jolted. "You would have no right to refuse the honest official you would have put players out of the game."
Had I been an alumnus of any other school on Howard's schedule, I would have objected to Mr. Washington as an official since he felt more responsible to the source which paid him, than he did to the principles at hand, or name. Such pussyfooting in game play is being molded in our youth gallery, not tolerated nor encouraged and certainly no one guilty, of such is worthy of being an official."

CHARLOTTE, N. C. — With Jack Martin and Pony Faulkens reeling off yard after yard thrusts in the backfield, son C. Smith rejuvenated Bulls romped about their pen and wilted the ball Saturday, before one of the largest crowds to witness a local game.
Mrs. Johnson C. Smith occupied a bench behind the ball and saw the Bulls snort and tear thru the hopeless defense of a sagging Shaw line for four hectic periods.

MCVEY PUTS SHELLAC ON GEORGIE NICHOLS
BUFFALO, N. Y.—Jack McVey put a decided dent into the fictional future of George Nichols here Friday night as he pressed him heavily to win the decision after ten rounds at the Broadway.
After a policy of watchful waiting in the first four frames, Jack showed his several victories in the local ring in the fifth, landing blows to the stomach and face that halted the onward rush of Nichols, and he continued his several victories as Nichols slowed up considerably. Jack nailed George with a half dozen hard rights to the face in the seventh round, and in the eighth the storm became rougher for the local lad as he went down once with a half push and held to keep his feet for the remainder of the game. George Nichols on the retreat, taking Jack's hard swings on the run and again holding for all his might as the remainder of George Nichols on the retreat, taking Jack's nine out in the final round a little refreshed but it was evident that it was his desire to stick and he held for all his rights as appeared as though the ten rounds were just a workout and he was ready to go on another ten.

SENATOR BRUCE SE'KS REELECTION
Opposed To Lynching, Religious Bigotry And Race Intolerance.
SENATOR TALKS OUT
AGAINST KU KLUX
Senator Favors Education and Appropriations For Howard
"What care I whether I go down to defeat or not at the next senatorial election provided only that I shall not be recreant to the profoundest convictions that have ever found lodgment in my mind and to the most fervid feelings that have ever inspired my soul?"
These ringing words of personal courage were uttered by Senator William Cabell. Bruce, of Maryland, on the floor of the United States Senate this year, in reply to the suggestion that he "soft pedal" his views on the Volstead Act and other public questions.
These words came from the Ips of the man of whom "The New York Times" said editorially in 1923: "by ... frank and explicit utterances Mr. Bruce confirms the good opinion of those who maintained last year that his election would be an honor to the State of Maryland and a strong推荐 to the United States Senate."
Senate Justice came to the Senate well fortified by training and experience. He was trained in the law at the University and has actively practiced at the bar for nearly a half a century. He was a member of the land surveying and engineering departments as his president in the latter year. From 1903 to 1910, he served two terms as the State Law Delegate. From 1810 to 1922, he acted as general counsel to the State Public Server Commission. He served as commissioner to run a United States Senate.
Contributions to Literature
In the midst of a busy life of public service, Senator Bruce has found time to make substantive changes in his writings as he "Benjamin Franklin Self Revealed." "Behold the James," and "John Randolph of the James," are among his most famous scholarship, keen discovery and splendid election.
On public Questions
A bird's-eye view of William Cabell Russell's record since his election to the United States presidency, his leadership of liberal opinions and sound actions on practically every public issue, and his American people. In the last session of the Senate he will sum up his experience in today in following words: "I have no word of palliation for either the Constitution or the social intolerance, or the racial intolerance that have in recent years become such pallid features of society as was written of the States in other parts of the Union."
Fairness of the Negro
B. Senator Bruce belongs to the "New South" a term which means full cooperation with the efforts being made to develop that section economically and socially and to give his best taking issue with the recent extended defence of practical disaffirmation of the status of Virginia. Senator Bruce and in part, I think that the time has now come when the white man is no longer a threat to the Negro, not simply a matter of obligation to the permanent inhabitant of having welfare, the long future of the southern whites, themselves.
"Washington Eagle"
Commenting on Senator Bruce's reply to Senator Swanson, "The Washington Eagle," the official organ of 20,000 colored Elks, says editorially, January 27, 1928. "Senator Bruce pleaded with Senator Swanson for more tolerance in the South, saying that such tolerance would make for a strong opposition party, claiming it would be for the good of that section and for the country at large."
Senator Bruce has been consistently outspoken and active in seeking to blot out lynching. In 1923, he demanded that the Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., should be under the charge of Negro physicians and nurses. While a member of the Board of Estimates of Baltimore, he always favored liberal appropriations for colored institutions of that city.
"Howard University"
As a member of the United States Sate-nation, he has liberally supported all appropriations for the movement by white people of Baltimore to assist the colored people there to establish a hospital for the poor and to family contributed $1,000 towards the support of a free bed in honor of Evelyn Mackail, the slave mongrel who was a liberal and liberal conducter she had set them.
Opposed to the Klan
With the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, turbulent debates have taken place. While many Senators have felt disposed to keep alent when Senator Helfin of Alabama called for the "Catholic Conspiracy" to seize the United States and turn them over to the Army with Mexico, Senator Bruce has repeatedly spotted out against such speeches courage. He makes short shift of these charges when he says that they might have had ever found lodgment in an empty head. "In the same speech he says, "there that I abominate as I do biggest biparty." Senator Bruce's whole attitude toward the Catholic fellow citizen is prejudice of Governor A. Smith in the following words: "other things being equal, I neither see a Catholic time, nominated to the Presidency of the United States, than any Protestant. Another solemn appeal should be made to the fidelity of the American people to the secessionist distinctions." These words come from the heart of a man who was reared in the Presidency of the Episcopal Church.
Klan
Senator Bruce is one of the most fearful with an amazing and bold-minded burden. He says, "I am embroiled to the American people and should be responsible party that speaks from behind a mask has any rue message for such a people to fight them with the same fervor as I am going to fight the boneyard." Volted Act Senator Bruce is one of the most fearless advocates of the Government. The Volted Act Senator Bruce is one of the most fearless advocates of the Government. The Volted Act Senator Bruce has "converted the Federal Government and fifth into a more monstrous Caesar Borgta than any medicine." He has filled the boshes of the people with deadly concoctions. "During the war, the Senate has filled the boshes of the people with deadly concoctions." During the war, the Senate has filled the boshes of the people with deadly concoctions. "During the war, the Senate has filled the boshes of the people with deadly concoctions."

"Who asked, "Upon one occasion in the state he asked, "Who is not familiar with the judge, who is not familiar with the law in the court of public opinion.

It provides for a combination of legal and local option. The Senator reasons that the present pumptium legalRuntime runs contrary to the history, and because of its being constantly challenged by the great bulk of American people, there is no good reason to believe that man will ever cease to drink allogether: though there is every reason he will become more "morale temperate."
First Term Opl+
No man in his first term in the United States Senate has made a deeper impression upon that body and upon the American people than William Cabell Bruce. He is the ablest man Maryland has sent to the Senate since the days of Isidor Raynor.
The secret of Senator Bruce's power lies largely in the fact that he combines a great intellect with a great soul and a tender heart. He is democratic to the core. He measures the Jew and the Gentile, the Catholic and the Protestant, the white and the black, and the rich and the poor with the same yardstick of justice. Maryland will return William Cabell Bruce to the United States Senate next November, because she needs him there: but more important than that, the Nation needs him.

SOLVE UNEMPLOYMENT
INDIANAPOLIS, IND.—One would believe that with a new manufacturing and office building just realized, quite the finest thing of its kind owned and occupied by our race anywhere in the world, officials of the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. at Indianapolis, Indiana are satisfied to rest on their oars and literally coast along.
But this is by no means the case. Heads are being scratched, ideas born, factory wheels turning and all the necessary equipment and the Walker Company's usefulness to the race that another such splendid structure as they are now housed in will be required to accommodate the increased number of vehicles on their practical dream when one considers that in spite of the company's large annual business, it is just a very small per cent of the annual output goods on the part of our people.
For instance, it is authoritatively estimated that the annual consumption of toilet preparations among Negroes exclusive of soap is $38,000,000 saggerer, or 10% of the total. Of this sum it can be estimated from available data that all the Negro concerns in America put together manufacturing toilet articles placing them at the disposal of the cagegero negro. The cagegero negro is the good measure figure, more than $2,000,000 gross business annually.
$3G.000.000 Market
A thirty six million dollar market then is the bait which is keeping executives in business. J. Walker Manufacturing Company enthusiastic about its future and working overtime improving its line, creating new and better selling policies and making it more expensive marketing methods. And there is little likelihood of this annual sum now spent truing to preserver and enhance one's beauty beauty. Women of all races are awakening. Those of America and of our particular racial group have increased their spending and instead of thirty-eight million, who knows, 1928 figures may show that this increased pride has also increased by several million dollars the amount spent in giving ex-
Whites Buy
Another cause is the growing tendency of American whites to buy such merchandise as we know to be them three national advertising regardless of the personnel of the manufactory. Cases of suits, coats, dresses, now made by Jews and worn generally by all America; prisoner uniforms, distributed, bought and worn; Negro-killed, cut and packed meat found on the tables of the Walker Company; the Walker Company to believe that its present white patronage will increase in direct ratio to its own. This then offers opportunity, be it ever so remote of nibbling at the $15,000-000, and beautifers.
Not An Octopus
But if these were the only causes, it might be said that the Walker Company is materialistic, a commercial octopus and a businessman, its founder the late Madam C. J. Walker built it. Even so, that could scarcely be termed a business, and all would not be conforming in detail to the time old traditions of the business world. In deed trade and commerce the Walker Company are the most materialistic, have always been so and we fear will always be so. But behind this attractive lure to the Walker Company are the less materialistic causes for its enthusiastic faith in the future.
Machines
It should be borne in mind that machines are replacing and have replaced thousands of men who are out of work and have suffered to unknown means of livelihood. This hardship is being felt in so small ways by the temporarily reduced income and wages of many workers, in contrast to machines. Such men-requiring jobs as remain are going more and more to unskilled whites who are affaced with the fight against the economic problem demands that he dismiss his pride and claim jobs he frowned and left to be done by Negroes ten years ago. Ku Klux And Unemployment The Ku Klux Klan has had something to do with Negro unemployment and has been ordered, by not any means, to retail stores, factories, hotels, restaurants, laudries and private homes in our city in no small numbers have been placed it with white, in at least one instance a joke being made of it by the hotel guests raising their windows letting loose, the Bye photographs to playing "Bye, My Bye Black-
This situation we believe, from reports reaching us is typical and identical to that in practice. But there were never more than a few jobs for which Negroes would apply, the greater number of places of employment situation of the state is alarming, which there seems but one easy, logical solution.
Massing Power
The power possessed by the race if it were massed against the undue economic barrier is not generally the case. The dollars where little may be expected from them. But that should not be. Every dollar spent ought to find its way back into the pockets of those who are in the pathy with our problems. Jobs ought to be created for our race by the dollars we spend. Every other race does it but ours and the day is not far off. (For the former, officers, etc. may be "

For a number of Palmer Memorial Institute, located in a suburban community of not over forty families has been doing a unique and different type of work from that of the schools of North Carolina.
Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Principal, has not only worked for the schools, but also for child school in brick and stone that would do credit to any organization, north or south, but all along she has had men and women of small means than a mere academic course; more than, industrial, agricultural or any of the courses that are supposed to prepare the youth of the race for
A good foundation had to be laid out of our own experience, however, and it is only this year that the dream of the finer touches is shaping itself into a real
A number of philanthropists and friends who have visited the institution, contributed to the establishment, equipment for years, felt that here was a school too fine in setting, too ideal in location, with cultural a background, for the current program. Soon a New England committee was formed which put on a small drive preparation for a Fine and Practical Arts. A scholarship fund was provided to accommodate 25 students above the second year of high school. The fund would be to music, oratory or painting. A picked faculty of the best New England and Michigan students was selected. It was the ultimate aim of this committee like the aim of Charlotte Hawkins Brown, to set a "little" of North England "as some interested person said — a 'southern finishing school for colored men and women'." Situated miles east of Greensboro, N.C. on the National Highway, the site, Sedalia, seems to offer, condition to the place of an institution of this type — quiet, reserved, denified.

It then is no cry of boastfulness to say that now, before the crises comes, the Madness of offering to young men and women of the race an opportunity to rise and shine in their employment with the battle against the trend of the times and to hasten the day when Negroes will be able to for existence, and as we grow, by the increased patronage of the thoughtful Negro, we have more skoolkeepers, stenographers, clerks salesmen, factory workers, etc., will be given employment from the ranks of deserving boys and girls of the race.
Two-thirds To Charity
Two-thirds in each which can come by increased business will come not only that great usefulness to our race from an employment standpoint it can also be treated as the finin institutions like Y. M.

Who knows, they grow their forces must or augment their service. Think of the power you have in spending money.
Payroll $107,000
These extraordinary opportunities for growth and usefulness to the race compel the Walker Company to its executives with undying enthusiasm in the possibilities to some day in the not far distant future to structure and structure employ near 200 Negro men and women with an annual pay-roll of $107,000, but several such buildings, thousands of drawings annually a million or more in salaries.
Most Students Prepared Here For Special Courses
Many of the students enter from the grammar classes of rural schools, others from the city systems here in the south and still a good many in the north who have benefited by advantages of rural schools. The boarding school enrollment is comparatively small — not more than 125. This particular type of students is divided into groups and served over by a specially appointed and trained monitor who serves as a guide for each individual in his extra-curricular life, teaching him to live with other students in the principles of home life. This kind of training is aimed to develop for the student the following: 12. A sensible attitude toward social 13. An intelligent regard for Chris-

PALMISANO FAVORS BENEFITS FOR WAR VET
Congressional Candidate Also Would Continue Howard Appropriation.
I am in favor of cashing the World War veterans certificates in order to permit the veterans to purchase homes or to pay off any indebtedness, declared Vincent L. Palmisano, Democratic candidate for the House of Representatives from the third Congressional district, in an interview this week.
During the course of his conversation the Democratic candidate declared he believed in state rights and was opposed to the Volstead Act and the 18th amendment and the methods that were employed in the enforcement of the Volstead Act. I voted my opinion in favor of continuing the Howard University appropriation, he stated, when questions as to the stand he took on that measure while a member of the House of Representatives when that measure was before the House.
Palmisano, who is a lawyer, having practiced in the state for 20 years, has represented five building associations, totaling 10,000. He served legislature in 1914, eight years in the City Council and the 70th Congress. He is Democratic candidate for reelection from the third district comprising the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and 22nd wards, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth precincts of the 18th Ward.

How CLEAN Are Our DIRTY Politics? Would You Fine Or Jail Your Worst Enemy?
How clean are dirty politics?—That's a good question for Chicago which is in the midst of a better political campaign—a political mess.
Take the fight for Congress. The political pot has boiled over several times and its boiling hot now. "Judge" William Henry Harrison, is the "clean" Congressional candidate. He's independent.
Oscar DePriest, regular republican is candidate of the "dirties."
DePriest himself is chunking no mud. He was indicted recently by a grand jury for collecting graft from alleged vice interests for political purposes.
When that happened a group of men called on him to get off the ticket. His reply was "I'll stay in tell Hell freezes over for the benefit of my wife and children. I'll fight. Nothing but death will stop me." Right then Banker Jesse Binga offered Mr. DePriest $20,000 to buy ammunition with, but DePriest who has $500,000 in his own sock said he didn't need any small change right then.
But Oscar got busy and employed Clarence Darrow and Ed Morris for lawyers, gave out a statement that he didn't play cards, hasn't seen a gambling house in 25 years, and doesn't know any gamblers by name. With that he closed the doors of his real estate office and sat pretty. Right then Hoover mixed in. His boy Curtis spoke at Olivet Baptist Church, October 3, and told the deacons to get behind Judge Harrison. He told them that if the "Judge" needed any assistance, he, Curtis, knew all the "ropes" and would help him out.
```markdown
```
Miss Nannie Burroughs, "Willebranting' in Chicago Sunday, hit Oscar a left-handed crack, when she said "Judge Harrison is a man who can represent us. His record is clean with reference vice and gambling." That's dirt for you.
Right away Judge Harrison's crowd got out some more letterheads reading thus: "William H. Harrison's Organization, HE WILL BE SEATED, For Congress."
Inference is, of course, that if Oscar is elected, Congress will shut the door in his face so hard he'll get dust up his nose, like Vare and Smith.
```markdown
```
That's a right smart mud chunking but it's not all. A scurrilous white campaign newsaper opposing Will Lindsay, white democratic candidate for state's attorney, started throwing mud at Oscar too. Oscar now begins to get mud from whites and blacks alike. Hell isn't froze over, so he sticks.
Lindsay's enemies throw plenty of

mud, and when they get throwing they refer to the Honorable Daniel Jackson, Interstate Commerce Commissioner and friend of Oscar's, as "the King of Gamblers" and "vice lord".
"Lightnin'" is the name of this political sheet, just started for throwing mud. some of which gets on Bishop A. J. Carey before the throwing is halted.
"Lightnin'" recalls that Oscar was indicted in 1915 and that this year's indictment is the second.
"In 1915 De Priest was elected to the City Council. He was indicted for collecting craft from vice resorts, gambling houses and saloons.
"He was tried in the court of George Barrett and was defended by Clarence Darrow.
"De Priest admitted collecting from several notorious characters but claimed he turned the money in for campaign purposes.
Ettelson Backs De Priest
"Samuel "L" Ettelson took the stand in support of De Priest and Mr. Darrow based his principal plea for acquittal on the question; more easily answered now than then: "Is Samuel Ettelson, corporation counsel for Chicago, a liar?"
De Priest Turns Democrat
"When Arthur Leuder was nominated for Mayor by the Republican party. De Priest who is now posing as a Simon pure Republican, became an ardent advocate of Dever, democratic candidate against Leuder.
Financed by Ettelson Outfit
"Dan schuyler, partner of Ettelson and attorney for Sam Insull, was a financial backer of De Priest, with Insull's money of course. Ettelson and Schuyler acquired the Unity Club at 3140 Indiana avenue.
DePriest Under Brennan Banner
"On orders from Insul to be with Brennan's candidate for mayor, Schuyler in turn passed the word on to De Priest. There was passed $30,-000. Barbers got $5 each, buffet flat madams got a similar amount. A few of the preachers who were for sale got from $25 to $100. Anderson and others got some and helped Crowe and Thompson defeat Arthur Leuder for mayor, electing Mr. Dever. Bishop Carey campaigned for Dever.
De Priest Sells Unity Club Interest
"When Insul decided that Frank Smith should be sent to the Senate to save us from the World Court and the menace of England where Insul has a great estate, Ettelson and Schuyler bought De Priest's interest in the Unity Club for $13,000.
Bishop Carey Enthroned
"Bishop Carey, now Big Bill's Civil Service Commissioner. was made president of the Unity Civic Club and Frank Summers. De Priest's secretary. was made executive secretary of the club. Smith got the Negro vote and the investment would paid big dividends to Insull if the Senate had not been so fussy.
De Priest Comes Back. Carey Rewarded
"When Big Bill returned to the Crowe's nest and decided to run for mayor. De Priest was restored to royal favor and was again allowed to gather up the crumbs that fell from the Insull table and to lick the hand of Fittelson and Schuver. "De Priest was rewarded for his
treachery in helping to defeat Leuder for Mayor. He named the librarians in the office of Corporation Counsel Busch, and City Attorney, Sam Pincus. Besides the democratic jobs he had twelve jobs in the republican sheriff's office, seven on the Sanitary District pay roll, and several in the assessor's office.
"Sam Ettel. m, our corporation counsel, whose present pay roll reeks with graft, was the main "apple sauce artist" at a celebration in honor of De Priest at the 8th Regiment Armory in May, 1923.
"It is a pitiable thing that the Negro race should be asked by men of supposed patriotic ideals, to support for congress a creature so odoriferous as Oscar DePriest.
If he is elected it is to be hoped he will not be seated. But he should be defeated.
Thus sayeth "Lightnin'" and fur-

their deponent saveth not.
Judge Harrison's headquarters is sending out copies of "Lightnin'" as propaganda to aid the Harrison candidacy. It's malicious if untrue dirt if true. It's the kind of dirt that is thrown in political campaigns. It savors of the filth spread by Negro haters in the South.
Unless signs fail DePriest will be elected in spite of it and then with Darrow's aid clear his name in the courts. Moral, if any — don't go into politics unless you are prepared to have your opponents throw mud and plenty of it.

Baltimoreans Vote 2 To 1 To Give Their Ill-Wishes Another Chance
Granted permission by the Criminal Court of Philadelphia to fix fine or jail sentence for Rev. Charles Monk, a preacher who libelled and anoyed him for over a year, Bishop William H. Heard, of the A. M. E. Church, had the man set free on parole.
Many Baltimoreans have Bishop Heard's forgiving spirit. The AFRO interviewed 9 persons at random this week and here's how the poll stands:
Jail Fine Neither Wobbly
0 2 5 2
This was the question asked the nine by an AFRO reporter:
"What would you do with your worst enemy if you had a chance to send him to jail or have him fined $500?"
"Had I a choice between sending my worse enemy to jail or imposing a fine of $500, I should unhesitatingly fine him $500 and use the time in which he would otherwise be in jail in making a friend of him," declares Mrs. Bertha Proctor, of 1334 Druid Hill avenue.
Would Not Do Either
Mrs. Daisy Walker Jackson, of Albany, N. Y., begins by saying, "I would not do either. As long as you do not have a chance to hurt your enemy, you want to. When the opportunity presents itself to retaliate, you find that you do not want to hurt him. You may make a friend of your enemy."
Fincing A Man Would Hurt Illm More

Oscar De Priest
NO DIRT HERE
By WM. PICLENS
They indicted Ciar DePriest, not to 'clean up' anything but to force him to quit the race for Congress in Chicago. They know that an indictment is not proof of anything, but they reckon on the ignorance of some who think that "accused" and "convicted" mean the same thing. But the chief thing they reckoned on, was that DePriest would "get scared and run". If he were guilty and afraid, he would agree to quit under condition that the indictment be dropped. But to their surprise, when they went to him and said: "Now, won't you withdraw?" — he replied: "You go to hell. — and when hell freezes over so you can skate around on it. bring me proof of that, and maybe I'll think about quitting!"
The man has more plain courage than any other politician I have ever met. He laid all his cards on the table at a meeting in Chicago on October 14. I had never heard anything like it from any political office seeker before; he told how much money he had made, just how he made it, what he did and proposed to do with it. He told just how he stood, frankly stated his opposition to some of the most powerful leaders; said in bold but brief outline what he would do as Congressman and what he wouldn't.
I like courage, and he sold himself to me on the spot. Human courage is the biggest need of this little old world. There is far more knowledge than courage in it. Many more know what to do then can ever have the courage to do it. The courage of Oscar DePriest is needed in Congress, and it is needed at the forefront of Negro political life.
When he is in Congress he will have the courage to appoint a Negro student to West Point Military Academy and to keen appointing him until the crooked appointment wears down. When somebody rises and gives voice to a plain lie against the Negro, DePriest will not be afraid to challenge it. We predict that if Oscar DePriest is in Congress, the a who have been in the habit of living loosely about the Negro race, will begin to check up on their material.
He will be elected November 6 unless Chicago Negro voters have
no more toward my enemy than I would have him to do to me, hence I would neither fine my worst enemy, had I the chance, nor send him to jail but would rather let his own conscience guide him."
What You Sow You Will Reap
"I would put my worse enemy in the hands of the Lord," declared Mrs. Maseclia Smith, of 1729 McCulloh street. "What you sow you will reap; so even had I the chance to send him to jail, or have him fined, as a Christian woman. I would pity him and try to make a friend out of him anyhow."
Would Have Him Freed From Either
"Tis a hard question to answer without serious thought. I feel tho that I would try to live up to the teachings of Christian training and if his being at large worked no hardship upon others, I would be inclined to have him freed from either," was the view of Mrs. Mary Sewell, 2038 Druid Hill avenue.
"If I had him fined $500, it would probably make him want to retaliate; and if I had him put in jail his hatred would increase while he stayed there thinking it ver. Of these I would do neither," said John Smith, 711 Arlington avenue.
Mrs. Carrie B. Moody, 539 Dolphin street, said, "I would trv to be broad enough not to do either. But if he had to have some punishment. I would, rather that he be fined, because I think it takes from one's standard to have been imprisoned."
Mrs. Emily Wicks Bishop. Towson. Md. says, "If my enemy were a rich person, I would have him sent to jail as the loss of the money would mean little to him. If it was a poor person. I would let him pay a fine because he has to work hard to get money and so feeling the loss more ought to make him more careful in the future."
gone crazy. And after he is elected, we want him to proceed to clear up that indictment, and pull his fighting togs on, and come on down to Washington.
Poem This Week
THINGS THAT COUNT
Not what we have but what we use,
Not what we see, but what we choose—
These are the things that mar or bless
The sum of humane happiness.
The things near by, not things afar,
Not what we seem, but what we are—
These are the things that make or break,
That give the heart its joy or ache,
Not what seems fair, but what is true,
Not what we dream, but what we do—
These are the things that shine like gems,
Like stars in fortune's diadems.
Not as we take, but as we give,
Not as we pray, but as we live—
These are the things that make for peace,
Both now and after time shall cease.

C.P.T. Spoiled Home-Coming Of Marion Anderson, SINGER
By ALICE DUNBAR NELSON, (A. N. P.) Now this is a true story that happened within the month, in a city which is large enough to be one of the foremost in the world, where the Negro population is sufficient to make a metropolis in itself, and where education, art, culture, old families and all that go to make up a cultural background are supposed to be pre-eminent. The occasion was the first concert given by Marian Anderson an artist of the race after a year's study abroad, and after that artist had been before the public for several years in the capacity of a great concert singer. Winner of prizes, and soloist under symphony orchestra.
The concert was scheduled to begin at 8:30. It was in the leading opera house of the city. An opera house old in tradition; beautiful in appointment, lovely in memories. To sing in this building alone is an inspiration. There is not a great artist in the world who has not delighted audiences from that classic stage. At eight o'clock our party was in its seat, and we cast a despairing eye over the house. Just a few stragglers here and there. It looked as if the home-coming would be a frost, and our hearts sunk. And yet, infallible sign of a soldout house—the stage was set with about four hundred seats—a few of which were occupied.
By and by the audience began to straggle in, then coming in a bit faster. There were approximately one or two ushers to a balcony or circle. They did not seem familiar with the location of seats. People left to find their own way blundered hopelessly in desperation took the first seats vacant. By twenty-nine past eight, there was a constant stream of spectators. From six doors in each circle people streamed in, and the ushers, swamped by the crowd threw up their hands in despair.
At eight-thirty to the minute the artist and the accompanist appeared on the stage. The crowd continued to stream in; the few ushers darting wildly here and there to adjust difficulties. Few noticed that the artist had appeared. There was a patter of perfunctory applause, but the main interest seemed to be to get into seats. The kuzz and hum resembled the roar of a sea, or worse still, the whirr of airplanes. The artist stood, waiting for silence, or at least cessation from the restless activity. The ushers were intent on seating people, at least those whom they could reach. The artist stood. Three minutes. Five minutes. Six minutes. And still the people streamed in. Still the large dame with the heavy coat and raucous voice complained because someone was in her seat, and she must have THAT immediately, and a whole row of people must get up and satisfy her, or else her escort truculently called the usher and threatened the manager, and that large dame was everywhere.

Seven minutes. Still there was confusion. The artist so cheerful at first, visibly drooped. The joyous little usher on the stage brought people in with a flourish and a bang and seated them much scraping of chairs behind the artist.
Eight minutes. Someone must have slain one of the ushers on the first floor for there was a cessation of busile there. The artist began one of the first group of songs. Oh, so lovely that you wondered how anyone could have the heart to do it after that dreadful wait.
Applause. And like a hungry animal deprived of food, the noise began again. More streams of people More contentions about wrong seats More irate dames. More frightened ushers. The accompanist struck a chord. The artist shook a despairing head. And waited. Two minutes Three minutes. Four minutes. Five minutes. A nod. The second song
A few bars, and a wave of disturbance heat upon our senses. The artist stopped. And for the first time there was absolute silence. Like a whipped child, the audience sat still, chastened. And the song went on, in lovely peace, but not for long. For the heaving dame in the family circle developed, a nervous cough — and well any music lover knows what happens when one individual loses control and coughs. Stokowski knows and so does Kreisler. And they forestall the calamity.
That song being finished, riot broke out again, and again and again and the artist had to stand patiently until the audience settled into some comblance of decency and order. By the time the first group was finished, the friends of the artist and the lovers of music felt as if their nerves had been peeled with rusty knives. To make a long story short, that

seat affords.
Now this sounds like a burst of pent-up irritation. It is. And I feel safe in saying that there are at this present time in these United States some several hundred thousand of our race who will agree with me.
And here ends the true story of the home-coming of a great artist. A heart-breakingly lovely performance spoiled by the pure selfishness and bad manners of a great crowd, which ought to know better, and does know better. Let us pray that the patron saint, whover he be, will teach us good manners, musical consideration, and regard for the other fellow.

ELIZABETH
I. WELLS
Maryland Girl Strong as Boy
"Elizabeth was a very delicate child and was nearly always fretful, nervous or feverish," says Mrs. Luther P. Wells, 2433 Robb St., Baltimore. "I tried a number of things for her constipation but her condition didn't improve. Instead, she got so the little I could force her to eat wouldn't ever digest. She got badly underweight, sallow and weak.
"Then I decided to try California Fig Syrup, and the results surprised me. Her bowels started working immediately, and in little or no time she was eating so she got to be a pest at the table, always asking us to pass things. Her weight increased, her color improved and she began to romp and play again like other children. Now she's the picture of health, and strong as a boy."
Pleasant-tasting purely vegetable California Fig Syrup acts surely and quickly to cleanse your child's stomach and bowels of the souring waste that is keeping him half-sick, billious, sallow, feverish, listless, weak and puny! But it's more than a laxative. It tones and strengthens the stomach and bowels so these organs continue to act naturally, of their own accord.
Over four million bottles used a year shows its popularity. Ask for it by the full name, "California Fig Syrup," so you'll get the genuine, endorsed by physicians for 50 years.

audience kept coming until the last group of songs was sung — which was nearly ten o'clock. The stage filled its seats, just before the last group. Arguments between the holders of wrong seats and the holders of the coupons to those seats went on throughout the entire concert. A music lover in the audience went to the manager of the opera house and complained. The manager put in more ushers, some of whom made more confusion than before. The manager was asked why the ushers had to seat late comers right in the midst of numbers. He said he had no instructions to the contrary. Perhaps he did not. Perhaps the managers of the artist had forgotten that detail.

But the burden of the trouble comes back on the audience. And since it is the fashion 'to draw up indictments, I am going to draw one against our people.
1. We are perennially, consistently unnecessarily, and determinedly late. Eight-thirty means nine, ten, ninethirty, anything BUT eight-thirty. It is a habit. And yet we get to the theatre on time. We know if we go to theatre late, we are going to miss the first act, and we get there. And we get to trains on time, even if we break our necks and speed laws to do it. We know if we are late to the trains; we will lose our reservation, or engagement, or what not. And get to meetings or occasions that are to be presided over by the other race on time.
2. We have no regard for the other fellow's feelings. Music, too oft is a cloak for conversation, so we cannot understand why someone might want to listen to the music, nor why he should obect if we tread on his toes, or knock his program out of his hand, as we crash into our seat over his prostrate form.
3. We go too often to places to be seen and heard, not to see and hear. When we go to a public performance we want everyone to know we are there, therefore we insist upon being seated during a number, walk over half a row of people, stand up to take off our coat, take our time about taking off our hat, and as such late comers are usually fat and wheezy, heave prodigious sighs of relief at the rest which the creaking

With school days in full swing, mothers are confronted with the problem of what to give the children for lunch when they come running in from school. Dr. H.

Scrawny Necks
By NINA TEMPLE
If a woman is not of the robust, stout type, she is usually thin about the neck unless she takes wonderful precautions to keep the skin well fed. If she has reduced, her neck will be wrinkled also unless she is very careful to feed it with skin food and all the while she is reducing. Now that dresses are worn so very low in the neck, no woman can afford to be careless and allow her neck to become or remain scrawny. I have found a cure for this condition which I pass along to you.
Food For Scrawny Neck
Lanolin—one ounce; Spermaceti—one ounce; witch hazel—two ounces; tincture benzoin—¼ teaspoon. Message this cream into the neck night and morning.
Work at Home
I am a man, and due to physical disability I cannot got out to work. I am handy at carpenter work, but could not make heavy pieces of furniture. Could you suggest some articles?
I am sure you would find it easy and profitable to make children's toys. This is the season, and, in fact, you will have to work fast if you want to get them done in time for Christmas. Amusing wooden animals, wooden dolls, diminutive coat hangers, toy furniture and little wagons would sell easily, I know.
To Walk Spanish
"To walk Spanish" refers to an old sport among boys in which one boy seizes another by the collar or the scruff of the neck and the seat of the trousers and forces him along to tiptoe. "To walk turkey" is used in the same sense. Apparently the former expression originated in New England.

CHAPTER II.
Mrs. Woodland stopped wasting her energy.
When the lights went out Dick Marlin gasped, as if he had been thrown into the river. Then he plunged along the deck, stumbling over couples in a search for Elinor Vanderley. Once he tripped and fell. He was too modest to call out, as Joe Betts would have done. At last, calculating his distance, he saw a shimmer of white silk.
"Lady Paradise?" he said softly.
"Yes, Mr. Marlin, if you really wish to call me so," she whispered.
· He sank beside her.
"What a relief to find you in this darkness! You know, I've had the lockjaw all this time, but tonight I'm going to tell you just how I feel about you. You can have me arrested afterwards if—"
She put a hand on his arm.
She put a hand on his arm. "Not so loud. Confidence are not to be shouted."
He looked about him as well as he could in such darkness. All over the deck indistinguishable figures were talking in whispers and titters. Once the sound of a slap broke the darkness, followed by a subdued quarrel. Dick, carred out of his usual reserve, laughed recklessly.
"Promise not to slam me," he whispered, "before I've told you everything."
"Tell me first."
"Well, I've looked and looked and looked at you for months."
"The way you ooked at Lillian Holt tonight when you were dancing with her?"
"Oh, that's not fair. I just felt as if I'd been drinking hard. That isn't love. Lillian doesn't realize—"
"She doesn't, eh? That's how much you men know about it. Of course, if a girl wants to resort to that sort of weapon—"
"Oh, the deuce with Lillian! I'm not here to talk about her. You're the only one that counts and I've been aching to tell you so. I've watched you time after time. I've talked with you, but I never had enough nerve to say anything. Well, I have it now, and—"
"Hip-pocket nerve?"
"No!! I don't drink, and you ought to know it."
"You assume that I have made it my business to study you and your habits."
"Oh, it isn't that," he groaned. Imm just so full, so miserable from thinking and dreamin' about you hat I forget sometimes that you're not giving me a thought. Doubtless you have better men than I in your mind, and Lord knows there are plenty of them. But none of them can love you more than I do."
They were silent for a time Dick felt like an inexperienced bicyclist coasting down a hill without knowing how to put on the brake. His words plunged on in spite of him.
"Of course, if you don't like the idea I won't say any more about it after tonight. But at least I won't be lying awake in bed cursing myself because I hadn't the courage to speak out to you."
"Lying awake, or lying while awake?"
"This is no punning business, I tell you. When I dance with you I feel as if I should burst. If you have that feminine intuition that they talk about you know I love you and you've always known it. Haven't you, now? Haven't you?"
She trembled against his shoulder.
"I—I don't know."
"You do know!" he exulted. "You know it and you're afraid to admit it. Well, the whole world will know it by Monday."
"Monday? Why?"
"Because we're going down town to get the engagement ring."
"But we—we're not engaged."
"We are; practically. I love you and you love me. What's left for us but marriage? Now, will you marry me, or won't you?"
"But I haven't said I loved you.'
"You do, don't you?"
She did not answer. Dick, almost beside himself. did something he would not have dreamed of the day before. He threw his arms around her and pulled her to him. His lips fell on her face in a warm rain of kisses, on her lips, eyes, cheeks, nose hair forehead. For an instant she sat rigid; then she broke and melted to him, her kisses matching his own.
"You love me? Love me?"
"Yes! Yes!" she casped, clinging madly to him. "I—I always did!
They talked on wildly, crazily, hardly knowing where they were or who they were. For the moment they were two nameless beings fused together by the great natural force.
Suddenly a blinding light sprang full upon them from the darkness. It was a flashlight in the hands of one plicnics and every other human gath-of those practical jokers who infesting. But the woman was as quick as the flashlight: even as it stabbed at them she snatched the summer coat from her lap and threw it over her head and Dick's.
"Ha, ha!" cried the joker. "Look at this, all wrapped up like mummies. I bet if I pull that cloak off—"
"You'll land in the river!" was Dick's muffled but fierce reply.
The joker thought better of it and went on his nuisance-making way. He left a somewhat sobered couple behind him. They still kissed each

other, but they were on the alert for flashlights. Presently there was a shout from the bow of the boat.
"Yonkers anead!"
Reminded of their nearness to New York, they sat up and corrected their dishevelment. Dick was about to ask Elinor when he should see her again, when he was startled by an angry voice, close at hand. Some man had caught his lady with another gentleman.
"Ha! There you are!! So you think you can cheat on me and get away with it, huh?"
"Oh, Henry," pleaded a woman's voice, "its nothing. You don't understand—"
"I understand enough to—"
"Henry, please don't make a scene here."
"Damn the scene and you and him too! I'll—"
The man's fist smacked against his rival's face. The eyes of hate had pierced the darkness, the two men clinched and struccled to and fro on the deck. In a moment they stumbled against Dick and Elinor.
"Come, lets get away from this," sald Dick, and hurried Elinor up the deck. She threaded her way safely, but Dick had the ill luck to stumble over a couple's legs and fall his full length. Before he could rise another man fell over him and by the time he regained his feet Elinor was missing. He called loudly for Jim Cross, but Jim either could not hear him or was so engaged that he would not
The fight on the deck soon ended, Dick never knew how. He wandered his party grouped on the forward and stumbled till he found most of deck in the light of the pilot tower. It looked as though there had been some prearrangement to that effect, him. Mrs. Woodland was scolding the but the lights had gone out so quickly that Jim had not had time to tell girls for not coming to her when the lights first went out.
"But I didn't hear you, Mrs. Woodland," protested Penelope Magnum.
"I was at the other end of the boat, talking with Mr. Marlin," said Lillian Holt, digging Dick's elbow to keep him quiet.
"And you, Elinor?" "I was chatting with Mr. Larue."
"Lord, Lord, these women!" thought Dick. "All afraid to tell which man they really like. I thought Elinor at least would come clean."
"And we two were together, said Rosalind Esmond, coming up arm in arm with Jessica Freeman."
"Where is Mr. Cross?" asked Mrs. Woodland pointedly.
"Right behind you," answered Jim, suddenly appearing from nobody knew where. "I was trying to see that the Volstead law was not being violated. I say, Mrs. Woodland, what did they have in place of moonlight boats when you were a girl?"
"Horse and buggy!" she flashed, laughing.
They all began to tease each other to find out where everybody had been, but no one had any success. Dick, seeing Elinor a little apart from the others, approached her.
"I'll go home with you, of course, when the boat docks?" "Early this evening Mr. Larue asked me, and I consented. It was before you showed me that you were not made of ice." "What time may I see you tomorrow?"
"At seven in the evening."
"I'm burning to resume our—our talk."
"Will your fire last til tomorrow night?"
"It will last for life. I mean just what I said tonight."
Mr. Larue who was not so bored as he seemed to be, came up to them and Dick went away. The ardent Joe Betts had talked Penelope Magnum into a corner, from which she waved her hand at Dick as he went by.

Are You in love? Have you any
heart problems? Ask Aunt Phyllis,

Dear Aunt Phyllis:
I am a newly wed and find that
after I keep my small apartment
clean I have a great deal of time on
my hands. I want to go to work but
my husband says, "No." I feel that
I could help him to save for a little
home of our own some day.
If you have some spare time, there are many useful things which you could do. Most social organizations are glad to have the services of a volunteer worker. Unless your financial circumstances really warrant it I would not start working now. I think it right for married women to work when they are in need of the extra money or if they have a particular work to which they are adapted and can do it without neglecting their home. On the other hand in the early years of married life habits may be formed which may wreck or make a marriage. Until you have been married some time you will not know whether your husband would put the added income into a home or into unnecessary expenditures. Then, too, if things go wrong he can say that he asked you not to go out to
work. Why not spend the time and energy in making your home attractive and planning title pleasures for your husband and yourself and using your spare time helping some unfortunates.
Dear Aunt Phyllis:
Do you approve of girls moving away from home and living in apartments? My girl friend and I live in homes that are both unattractive and disagreeable, and we feel that we would like to share an apartment where could have things attractive.
Most assuredly, I do not. If you can afford an attractive apartment you can afford to make your home attractive. The whole American nation is getting too far away from the home idea. Everyone is selfishly trying to live his own life to the disregard of all others, even those to whom some obligation is due. It might result in temporary happiness, but the selfishness of it would outweigh whatever satisfaction you would get out of it. Why not make an agreement with your home folks for them to make things more agreeable at home, if you make the home more attractive. Much disagreeableness in homes is the result of some one's selfishness.

Uproar!
By J. A. ROGERS
PARIS—Speaking here under the auspices of the Club du Faubourg at the Gaiete-Rochechouart Thaetre, Marcus Garvey, "Back to Africa" leader had a reception that might be mildly described as uproarious.
The Club du Faubourg is France's foremost intellectual forum, including among its members some of the leading writers and thinkers of Europe. Free speech is the order, and one says, what one is bold enough to say. The theatre was crowded to the doors, the audience being almost wholly white. Less than thirty Negroes were present
Several white American women, and two English women, protested vigorously against what Garvey had to say of their countries, one Negro had to be put out forcibly, and at times feeling ran so high that the chairman banged his cymbals, and called upon the audience, in Garvey's name- to listen to one of the speakers.
One fact is evident that it is not America alone that the color question can be worked up to fever heat. But with what a difference will present- be seen.
Garvey, speaking through an interpreter, had much of his figures and theories, sharply questioned, but as to his aims of having a free Negro government in Africa, almost the entire audience declared itself in his favor.
```markdown
```
The Negroes, in the audience were nearly all opposed to this, however, and one wanted to know, why, that since France treated the Negro well, and America did not, that Negroes, instead of foundling a separate government, did not migrate to the French colonies and become French. None of the Negro speakers spoke very warmly in favor of the project and one Socialist from Dahomey, Abdon Dialo, opposed it, saying that he believed the white man should be free to go into all parts of Africa, just as he, the speaker, insisted that the Negro should be free to go into Europe or other lands.
Rene Maran, author of "Bataoula" devoted most of his time to answer in another speaker about alleged oppression in French Africa. Prince Touvalou, of Dahomey, spoke in favor of a Negro government, he insisted that if the Negroes wished it, they should have it.
Garvey began by outlining his aims, and insisting that he did not ask for all of Africa, but a part of it. His petition, he said, had been presented to the League of Nations, and would come up for a hearing in the coming year. He said that he represented directly thirteen million Negroes, and all that "vast inarticulate mass" who are being ground down under the white man's heel.
He told of the great injustice suffered by Negroes in America, when the white man should have become so numerous and so high in industrialized as not to need his services later.
"The Negro," he said, "has no representation anywhere vet he demands equal rights, because he is a human being. That is why I come to liberal France, the only country that is making no attempt to bar the Negro.
"We have solicited all the nations with land in Africa recording a free government, and other nations as well, and the only two from whom we have not had a favorable reply have been England and the United States.
"France has given her answer, and she does not oppose the founding of our own government. It would be foolish to ask for all of Africa, and we do not do so." Garvey then asked for a show of hands, as to those who were in favor of his plan, and when, almost every hand went up, he said that such a showing would have been impossible in England and America. At this several white Americans in the audience objected, and one woman wanted to know whether America hadn't passed the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution in order that the Negro might have equal rights.
Garvey devoted much speaking about the Negroica, who he said, "is thegressive but is so becausestances over which he hadHe has contributed veryanswer to a question howviewed his plan he

Garvey Hopes 'Al" Will Lift Ban
In a full-page editorial in last week's "Negro World", Garvey urges support of Al Smith for President. "Hoover," says Garvey, "is involved with Firestone in the plan to steal Liberia from the natives." If Smith wins, Garvey's friends hope to have the deportation ban withdrawn.
the only ones who really wanted to stay in America were in favor of miscegenation.
If a referendum were taken I believe the majority would vote to go back. A fair estimate has not been taken and it would not be safe to say how many. But we hope to make it a political issue and a referendum will be taken some day.
He went on to expound his theory that Negroes and whites should not mix, "because God had made them of opposite colors and did not intend them to mix." Several women in the audience shouted their objections to this, and wanted to know why. "I n'est pas beau! cried one sitting behind this writer. Later several of the speakers objected to his theory of racial exclusiveness.
Garvey spoke also about his persecution and imprisonment in America. "For fourteen years," he said. "I led the fight for emancipation in America, where every attempt was made to deprive me of my liberty and to silence me. Therefore you might have heard bad things about me, but you have had your revolution and will understand, whereupon several in the audience shouted that they thought quite other than bad about him.
The French newspapers, which devoted much space to him, a few days before his address, nearly all accentuated the fact that he was deported from America because of his ideas, and his efforts to arouse the Negroes there.
---
He spoke also of the Negroes all over the world coming to France's Maran wanted to know whether they aid in the last war. On this Rene came because they were forced or not. "Is it is true," he said, "the American Negro came to France to fight because the white man promised him his freedom, — a promise that he failed to keep."
Garvey's speech was very ably delivered, and seemed to have made a very great impression even on those who did not understand English.
Two things, however, made it lose some of its force. One was the translation. The translator, while very able, had a feeble voice, and "takes the white woman only for sadistic purposes. He takes back pictures of white women with him to America, and shows them saying: 'Here is the French woman who blacked my shoes.' The chairman banged nis cymbal, and pleaded with his audience but Hugon was forced to quit. He returned to his seat, where for the next hour he heard himself excoriated by nearly every speaker who devoted so much time to him, that before they could speak of Garvey it was time for them to stop.
"Yes," shouted Maran, "you say that I said in Bataoula that the most contemptible creature in Africa is a white man. Yes, I said it, and had white men like you in mind when I did. In France the Negro must court the white women to get her, but in Africa the white man takes the Negro woman by force from her husband, and punishes and kills the husband, too."
Maran said that he was an official in French Africa for fifteen years, and during that time he saw the Negroes in a certain territory reduced from twelve millions to two, through white oppression." It is an abominable regime, a regime of slaves. I prefer America that says that Negroes are only dogs, and treats them as such than the French who say Negroes are our friends and treats them no differently." Other Negroes in the audience, however, vigorously defended France, shouting "Vive La France." All in all the audience was a decidedly pro-Negro one.
Two books recently reviewed by this writer were also discussed before Garvey's address, namely, "La Maitresse Noire" (The Black Sweetheart), by L. C. Royer, and "Blanche et Noir" (White Woman and Black Man) by Louise Faure-Favier.) Several blues records and Negro revivals were also played on a phonograph to the relight of the audience.

Garvey Asks For Copy Of "Afro"
One of the first things Garvey asked me when he arrived in Paris was, "have you a copy of the 'AFRO-AMERICAN'?" He was surprised that the AFRO had printed some time ago an article announcing his trip to Canada next month. Verily, the AFRO misses nothing.

Desmond Hugon, of the French merchant marine, and an opponent of the Negro as dyed-in-the-wool as Tillman, Vardaman, et al. Pulling out a long speech he had prepared, Hugon declared that the Negro was inferior, hopelessly inferior, now and forever. "Some thirteen millions of Negroes in the United States," he said, "and there is not a single doctor, or lawyer, or engineer among them after mixing three hundred years with civilization."
From this onwards, Capt. Hugon had a most uncomfortable time, and he got in a small part of his speech between the howls from the audience, which was in an uproar. The effect was precisely the same as if one were to get up and advocate intermarriage before a nest of Ku-Kluxers, or an anti-Garveyite were to get up in a Garvey meeting to make an address.
Hugon bitterly assailed the association of white women and Negro men. "The Negro man," he says.

At Lincoln U.
BY THE OLD LADY
The third edition of the Bull session by Old Lady;
Hardly anyone knows the inside life of the students in Lincoln University unless, they, at some time, have spent a part of their college career at his college. You may hear of his activities and the various lightlights of the campus, but you may hear of their various motives, thought and the conditions that exist within on walls.
The spirit of Lincoln grips every studen and though I may try with all the writings ability that Tennyson or Shakespeare possessed, I could never tell you about the spirit that really exists between each and every student.
Many a spectator at our various football games see and hear us sing our Alma Mater with tears in our eyes and look at wonderment and curiosity and ask themselves, why do we cry at the singing of the Alma Mater. Why? I don't know. I surmise it's because the song is pretty enjoyable when we win and sad when we lose. When we play football every team in the C. I. A. A. is out to beat Lincoln at all costs, and to them it's their chief aim. To us it's just another game. In every game we play we try to find our mistakes so we can make them against Howard, our most bitter rival.
At the Howard-Lincoln game, Lincoln is always confident that the Lion will overcome the Bison, no matter what our previous performance has been, and every Howardite knows it because they won't give us any odds, but we'll give it to 'em. My old lady is seying. "It won't be long now." Honestly, I certainly feel sorry for them Shaw Rogiring.
The Bull session has started now. Let me tell you about the celebrities of our campus, and their activities during the time we fought the Virginia Seminary and College to a 6-6 tie. Clark is one of the celebrities that Lincoln has and I guarantee that if his foot is well by the time we beat Morgan, you will see plenty of action. LaMar Jackson and Harmon played so well that I can't just say how they did play.

Five Theatres In Lichtman Group-To Add 3 More
Largest Washington Theatre Magnate With 71 Employees Has Endeared Himself To Show Public-Byars Makes Good As Supervisor
The Howard Theatre was opened to the public in April 1926 by Mr. A. E. Lichtman, who came to Washington unknown and attempted to put over a house known throughout the East as a real "white elephant."
Showmen tried and failed before but Mr. Lichtman, who is determined never to fail, took the House; cleaned it up; erected a new electrical Marque on the front and gave the people of Washington the best attractions that could be obtained.
It took three months finally to bring the Washington public back to the Howard Theatre and, with Mamie Smith as the attraction the latter part of May, 1926, the House took a turn for the better and, from that time on, has been rather successful.

Things ran along until February 1827 when the beautiful Lincoln Theatre was taken over from its unsuspecting dalloy Ball Company, who operated several white houses in town along with the Lincoln. This was a great achievement in the history of the district, of the finest st. theaters in the country, catering to the race. After taking over the Lincoln Theatre, an organization was being built on the inside, slowly expanding to the Royal Theatre. This same organization tried to successfully to operate the Royal Theatre, Baltimore, but found out that the organization believes in giving to the public, it was impossible to keep up their standard for the prices willing to be paid by the patrons of the Royal Theatre, and that the organization released the Royal Theatre to its owners.

The fact that it was conceived and promoted by the organization and generous democracy of Dr. Donnell is proof that the Bitmore will function in a manner, efficient without being too extangible, in response to pragmatic considerations to errors of hotel management which often quickly deprecate both the quality of the service and character of the clientele to be commended and Dr. Connell congratulated on adding this institution of hospitality to its already noted establishments of business in the friendlyness in "The Friendly City."

The Company has insurance force amounting to $1,609,500,500 with reserve required thereon of $1,667,727.19. The business is steadily increasing and is being offered to management of the interests of the stockholders and welfare of the Company are conscientiously safeguarded, the splendid progress being made by the company is indeed commendable.
Forty-Four Years Old
This is the most important 'conscientious' attention in the Insurance Inc. of June 16th, of this year. The Insurance Index devoted three pages to a history of the Company, its officers, 'Among other comments the Insurance Index made the following statement:
"Because of its fair and equitable treatment of Policyholders and its liberal adjustment of claims, it has been the subject of its forty-four years in service to the public, enjoys the confidence and good-will of the insuring public.
It is well known fact that the active officers of this Company have worked in the various branches of the business for many years before attaining their present positions. This is the result of a daily contact with the Policyholders of the Company. They, therefore have an unusual first hand knowledge of the problems of the Company, and also of the knowledge of sympathy with the problems affecting the insuring public.

HOW TO MAKE LAST BIG VOTE HOURS COUNT
Figure out how few subscriptions would be necessary to get more votes to your credit than anyone now has in the following list of candidates. Each one-year subscription is worth 20,000 votes—each two-year subscription is worth 45,000 votes—you get 485,000 votes for every 5-year subscription—900,000 votes for every 10-year subscription. But you must get your subscriptions in by 9 o'clock this Saturday night if you are to be credited with the greatest number of votes ever allowed during The Afro's short campaign.
Just think what a huge total of votes you would have by turning in just a few of the 5-year and 10-year subscriptions. It is a fact that the winning votes for either one of these three brand new cars can be had during these last BIG VOTE hours. Someone can make sure NOW of winning the big $2,870 Franklin Sedan. Two other people can pile up the winning votes for the $1,015 Oldsmobile and the $695 Durant.

DURHAM, N. C. — The slogan of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, "A Company with A Soul and A Service," was not conceived as a meaniness title. It was born of the years of the highest loyal and successful service which preceded the choice of this slogan. Business is business was once the cold-blooded retort of the business magnate who heard the humble petition of some one in distress. Of course, it is necessary always "business to be business" from the point of view of safe and good business principles. But the hard-boiled master of a financial situation cultured this fundamental attention to cruel relentless persecution of any one and every one so understandable as to have to seek assistance from him. Now, however, because of their ability and rather than feared because of their power and not neglect that service under the influence of all possible sympathy, that quality which man has long boasted as of a faculty making man superior to other orders of creation.
For 29 years the North, Carolina Mutual has kept the faith with the people on terms of the utmost sympathy and consideration consistent
National Benefit Years Old
Now Largest Negro Businessinuous Record Of Race
National Benefit Is Thirty Years Old On Nov.25th
Now Largest Negro Business Enterprise. Has Conspicuous Record Of Racial Achievements
WASHINGTON, D.C.-On November 23rd last, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, greatest Negro business institution, will round out the conclusions of thirty years of remarkable growth and success as its only notable as a more than usually prosperous and profitable enterprise of the Race, but is distinguished probably above all other similar Negro companies in its achievements in the advancement of Negro commercial progress generally. Founded in 1808 by Samuel Wilson Rutherford, still enteretically identified in the direction of its affairs, the National Benefit has always unselfishly guarded the general interest of the Race by behind smaller Negro business in larger resources when necessary, and taking control of them when it appeared advisable to do so.
Outstanding instances of this policy are many, chief among them the acquisition of control of the Standard Life Insurance Company when that considerable asset of Negro business was in danger of being submerged by Southern white interests. The required adjustments digital to this business transaction were made to the misunderstood, but actively criticised by distressed but misguided members of the Race, but the policy of the National Benefit has finally been proven to have been justified, and it is generally agreed that it could not have been improved from the standpoint of courageous adherences to the higher principles of good business. The history of the National Benefit is a history of strong, stable leadership and sound judging. It has grown to the highest level of beginners to be the outstanding example of the potentialities for commercial success that exists within the Race.

The answer is the most generous decision which will best take care of the people's present interest without endangering the welfare and service of the institution for future generations. The year 1929 will witness the end of the decade of the company's life and gets. It is the desire and plan of the company to celebrate this thirtieth anniversary with a reconservation of all the qualities which have brought it thus far to the projection of an even larger help and service to the generations ahead of

As such an example, it is a constant reminder of the fact that Negro business, operated by Negroes, for Negroes, is not an impossible dream but a concrete reality. And a reality which has gone beyond the ordinary borderline of the self-set limitations of the Race, to rank with what is commonly termed "big business" among our white brethren.

The National Benefit is a real and living instance of what "race solidarity" means and what it can accomplish. Its success has meant the protection of the means of living of thousands upon thousands of our people, has brought with it the raising of their standards of living, has furnished the promise of better things for every living Negro.

Unique Race Company Has $12,500,000 Fire Insurance In Force

Company Seven Years Old Operates In Six States
DURHAM, N. C. — Elsewhere in this issue is found a picture of the head officer of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company of Durham. Dusen one is statistically incarn, it is hardly likely he would be cognizant of the fact that this company stands absolutely alone in its field. That is to say, it is the only stock fire insurance company owned and operated completely by Negroes. Underwriting is considered, no imagination is necessary to realize the boldness of the spirit-which actuated a group or business men at Durham, in 1920 when they launched the company, or for use in recognition and less men responded to the urge to fill this need. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company as it stands today is the answer.
Beginning with a paid in capital sufficient to permit it to be licensed in the State of North Carolina the company wrote to the State of North Carolina that it has since been licensed in the State of Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Arkansas and the District of Columbia. It now has insurance and premiums in force amounting to $125,000,000 and $201,-492.82, respectively. Pearson is President W. G. Pearson, noted business man of Durham, has been its president since its beginning. Other active officers are: C. C. Spaulding and A. J. Strong, ice-cream operators. Its management is in the hands of L. W. Wilhoite, capable insurance executive, who studied the details of the business of the large fire insurance offices and, in turn, instructed his group in its fundamentals. He is abl' assisted by R. E. C. a corps of loyal and efficient clerks.
One Yard Stick
It is interesting to note that this company is one business owned and operated by Negroes which is measured by the same yard stick as its contemporaries. The company finds itself using the same rates; writing identical contracts: subscribing to same services of adjustment bureau etc., as the better compartment in the journal of official rating in the journals of insurance statistics is: "Management — Good; Loss Paving Record — Excellent".
The company has adequate reinsurance facilities which enable it to fully care for the needs of its agents. In the matter of agency representation it is thought that the plant of the Banker's Finite is not none.
It is not enough to know of the aims of the company and its personnel, but Bankers' Fire has a unique place in the record of achievement of colored corporations. Looking at the record that the mere launching of the company was a hegic venture. The building of an organization, the providing of an agency force capable of an agency business, has another achievement. Since it began operations the company has disbursed in dividends more than $40,000; has paid claims aggregating up to $300,000.00 measured up to the time the company had B conflagration when it was called upon to pay out $42,000 for a single fire.

DURHAM, N. C. — Southern Fidelity and Surety Company marks not only a new adventure of the firm but also the principle of companionship. The happy condition existing in Durham from the multiplication of corporations had resulted in a regiment of officials and employees occupying positions of
The modern practice with regard to such persons here and elsewhere in the field of business required that each be given a moral support and safeguard to eliminate the temptations which surround all, persons handling moneys and upon whose integrity their employers had to depend. In other words the business world must cue from the realm of government and required that every responsible officer and employee be bonded.

The far-flung economic battle line of the race, with its hundreds of thousands of executive employees, needed alone. Durham organization were exerted more than $8,000 a year for bond premiums in white companies. Also much difficulty was experienced in obtaining protection for Negro executives and employees whose misguided indications upon the unfamiliarity of Negroes.
Sensing this situation, Professor W. G. Pearson one day took stock of the thousands of dollars that he was paying out annually in bond premiums for the organizations with which he was connected. After pondering the question, he interrogated upon the possibility of a Nego bonding company; — a thing not before attempted in Negro business. With the swift decision which characterizes his mature judgments, he broached the question to State Insurance Commissioner within an hour after and determined to make the idea a reality. 5,000 Policies The company has grown beyond all expectancy and now furnishes coverage for nearly 5,000 individuals, representing over seven million suretships in force.

Mia Bramlette says:
"The Hawaiian System of Scalp and Hair culture was founded by me in 1913. I began my business on March 13th, 1913, making my first sale on that date. Whatever I have done or accomplished since that date has been from the growth of their first $3.00. I began my business in Indianapolis, Indiana and moved my headquarters to its present address, 1530-3 Seventh street, N. W., Washington, D. C., in 1924 that I might centrally located.
New agents are being added every week. I founded the Hawaiian System on the idea of Service and, while the beginning, small the detritus of a large.

The Hawaiian agency gives this service and our agency opens an avenue to success and prosperity to all who like this particular profession and takes Hawaiian System training course. We always welcome letters of inquiry.

Kelly Miller Bumps Gary Gridders, 52-6
CLARKS BURG, W. Va.-Gary High School's heavy team, southern West Virginia champions, bown away the kind of football that Kelly Miller plays to win championships in the north at Washington-Irving Stadium: Friday afternoon the game, the Southerners were bewildered by the Water Street school's fast running attack and its deceptive aerial game. Kelly Wall Defense. Gary Wall never have scored had it not been for a fumble by Kelly Miller; in the second quarter, recovering for a pass, Gary Miller sixty-five yards in a broken field. Kelly Miller gained ninety-seven yards through the air, completing for a pass. Gary Miller scored forty-five yards. Kelly Miller scored eight first downs to the visitors' two. Ross made four or five beautiful touchdowns for forty-five yards on each of them. His interference was perfect. He was also on the receiving end of most of the passes which McCay threw. McCay downs in long broken field runs.
Williams and Morgan were the
stars of the game. Hunter
Hunter played a shining light on

MOTHER
"To live in hearts you've left behind, is not to die."
Sacred to the memory of the late Catherine Ann Russell, who passed away into the Great beyond, Sunday, April 29, 1928, six months ago.
The its hard to part from a mother that's dear
And it costs many a sigh and a falling tear.
You can always are thrilled with a aot of cheer
We can meet by the way of the Throne.
The thou can part from the one we love.
There's a tender joy we can always prove.
We can pray for her as we look about
We can meet by the way of the Throne.
Tho at times we whisper a sad cry.
And we know a grief that we cannot tell
Feeling as we do that death is not the end of her life, but that her spirit lives on forever in a richer, sweeter, and more abundant life, we take this means to cherish the memory of our beloved mother, to extol her goodness and ever keep before us the many precious virtues and characteristics she possessed and good deeds she accomplished.
The blow was such as only those who feel it know, yet in our sorrow we have to dry our tears, raise our hearts to Heaven and thank God for having let such a wonderful character come to us.
God has taken her, but. He bids us take comfort in the life she left behind. Thru His mercy she was spared to see the tiny seeds she planted with her humble and lowly hands, blossom into lives of Christian citizenship, useful occupation, independent thinking, and moral courage. This gave her great pride. And the she slumbers, we are proud of her dust and pray that we may not go empty-handed, but like mother, leave our death chamber crying. "I've done my whole duty."

For the first three periods the score was 0 to 0, neither team gaining more than fifteen yards. At the end of the third period the score was 0 to 1, when Chester Johnson received a forward pass and ran fifty yards for a touchdown, but was forced outside of the line. In the last quarter and only two to go, the team had a chance to win when Big Ben intercepted a forward pass and fumbled.
IN MEMORIAM
DENNIS — In sad and loving remembrance of my dear husband, Rev. Francis S. who departed three years ago, 20, 1925. We three years ago, 20, 1925. Of October again is here for me the saddest of all the year; Three years have passed my heart sore. As thirsts on I miss you more. God called you home — it was His will—
But in my heart I love you still; Your memory I remember you passed away. I did my best, God only knew. To ease your pain; which were not few, but are gone and I am alone. And memory is the only friend that I can call my own.
Your sad and loving wife, ADELAIDE A. DENNIS.

One year ago today, my son, Oh, how the telephone did ring; With the sad news that you Had broken the link of us two.

THE AFRO:AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1928
In loving remembrance of my dear cousin, George L. Jones, who departed this life October 21, 1928. God called him home,
I was his will.
He wants us to love him still,
His memory is as dear today
As in the hour he passed away.
We often sit and think of him.
When we are all alone;
For memory is the only thing,
That all his own.
By his devoted cousins, GEORGE

GREESHAM ROBINETTE —Sacred to
the memory of my dear wife
and loving mother, who died two
years ago, October 24th, 1926.
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls his own;
And bids them leave the world of woe,
And immortal death a gain to her
Whose life to God was given?
Gladly to earth her eyes she closed,
To open them in heaven.
Her toil and work is done,
And she is fully blest;
She fought the fight, the victory
and entered into rest.
Then let our sorrows cease to flow;
But let our hearts, in every woe,
Still say, "Thy will be done."
By her HUSBAND, DAUGHTER
and SON.
ROBINSON—In loving remembrance of our dear mother, Elizabeth, who departed this life one year ago, Oct. 28, 1927.
Upright and faithful in all her ways, a wonderful character to the end of days;
a loving mother, true and kind, What a beautiful memory she left behold.
You could not say good-bye to us, You could not clap our hand; You could not be loved. To His realms, so grand

WATTY — In sad but loving memory
of our dear brother, Hiram,
who died October 20, 1905.
I cannot say and will not say
That he is dead, he is just away;
With the memory smile and a wave of
the hand
the hand he has wandered into
an unknown land.
And left us dreaming how very fair.
It needs must be since he lingers
in the woods.
And you-O you who the wildest
yearn.
For the old time step
And the glad return.
Think of him faring on as dear.
In the love of There as the love
Think of him still as the same I say
He is not dead—he is just away.

TY, and JAMES WATTY.

D. C. Equity Court Dismisses Suit of U. S. Presidents Heirs
THEY CLAIMED UNION BENEVOLENT CEMETERY
Court Decides It Goes To Members Of The Association
WASHINGTON, D. C. Justice Peyton Gordon in Equity Court Monday, dismissed the suit of six defendants of John Quincy Adams, seeking to re-establish title by reversion of two burial grounds of the Colored Union Benevolent Association and an appeal was noted. The suit was brought by John Quincy Adams Dotson, Eben S. Dolittle, William C. J. Dolittle, Charles A. Dolittle, Erskine Clement and Louise Clement against the association and George Emmons, Harry J Clarke and Whitfield McKinley trustees.
IF IT'S GOOD
The defendant* of John Quincy Adams, claimed that, the land, was conveyed in trust for the benefit of the association for the sole, purpose of carrying on its object of providing a cemetery and, when this object ended the land reverted to the heirs at law or next of kin of Mary Louise Adams, granddaughter of John Quincy Adams and the grandmother of the plaintiffs.
Mr. Emmons, Mr. Clark and Mr. McKinley were named trustees of the Colored Benevolent Association in an act of Congress approved by the president, March 4, 1923.
President Adams Died
February 23, 1848 John Quincy Adams died. He left property his granddaughter of Adams, John 1, 1870 Charles F. Adams, trustee of the estate of John Quincy Adams, conveyed the property to Gurdon-Snowden, Henry Logan, Joseph Shorter, Anthony Hickman and Hamlet Martin, a relative of Dr. Hamlet Martin and trustees of John Benevolent Association of the District of Columbia, Colored.
By the act of Congress March 3, 1865, the Colored Union Benevolent Association was incorporated to care for the children and bury the dead of membership.
Cemetery Until 1880
It was the same association referred to in the deed of trust from Charles P. Adams. The real estate was used as a memorial ground. The department departed that it be no longer used as a burial ground. March 4, 1923 the president approved an act to direct the trustees. It had directed the trustees, Mr. Emmons, Mr. Clarke and Mr. McKinley to transfer the bodies buried in this cemetery to some other public cemetery he reinterred at the expense of theregation.
Directed to Sell
The trustees were also directed to sell and convey the land known as the cemetery of the Colouré to the proceeds of the same after paying all indebtedness of the association to the heirs at law and next of kin of the deceased, as shown by the records of the association.
50 Will Share
There are about $50 descendants of the original members of the association. They have been located and will share in the distribution.
The property was originally bought for
$225,000. Its present estimated worth is
$225,000.

HAWKINS SEES DANGER IN SUPPORTING SMITH!
TO the Colored Voters of Baltimore City, State of Maryland, and the United States . . . . .
IF You have any idea of voting the Democratic Ticket--
By JOHN R. HAWKINS
PAST history refutes this claim—Negroes voted the Democratic ticket in large numbers in 1912—What was there compensation?. They were jim crowed and segregated in every department of our government and a bill offered by Senator James K. Vardama nof the State of Mississippi in the United State Senate to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution and modify the Fourteenth.
ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 6, millions of Negroes thru out the country will go to the polls and vote for one of the two candidates. WHO is responsible for the voting privileges of those black men and women who less than a century ago were classed and treated as mere chattels by those who make up the Demicratic party?
SINCE 1912 a constant tirade against Negroes has been carried on by such distinguished Senators as Heflin, Blease, Swanson, Glass, and Pat Harrison of Mississippi and Congressman Lowry of Mississippi for no other purpose than to humiliate our race. As recent as January 24, 1928 during the Seventieth Congress, congressional records show that Senator Glass and Swanson stood on the floor of the United States Senate and openly tried to defend the South for disfranchising the Negro thru ingenious political tricks. There has not been a session of Congress in forty years where the appropriation for Howard University came up that Democrats from the South didn't make a strenuous effort to block the appropriation. This same group of men are now seeking the Negro vote to elect Governor Smith.
The answer is:—
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
HISTORY reveals that the blood of thousands was spilled that this privilege might be given the Negro. Five years after the close of the Civil War the Republican party was responsible for the enactment of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution which guarantees to the Negro the right and privilege to vote in the election that is to be held November 6, 1928 and all other elections everywhere and in every State in the United States of America.
HISTORY also records that the Democratic party that is now seeking the vote of the Negro for Governor Smith, the Democratic standard bearer, resorted to every kind of political trickery to obstruct this piece of legislation and the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution which declared Negroes free men and women.
ONE of the most systematic schemes to hoodwink the Negro into voting for Governor Smith in the North and to hoodwink the whites in the South to vote for Governor Smith is now-being carried on by members of the Democratic party. No sooner had the campaign begun then Senator Pat Harrison of the State of Mississippi and Senator Cole Blease of South Carolina raised the Race issue in their and other Southern states for the purpose of aligning the white vote of the South behind the Governor. While this program is being carried on in the South, Democrats of the North are sending out spurious literature showing that the Ku Klux Klan is supporting Mr. Hoover. Let us assume that the Ku Klux Klan is supporting Mr. Hoover and then ask the question where was it born. The answer is the South, the home of Democracy, and its membership is a roll call of Democrats.
HISTORY further records that in every session of Congress since the passage of those two amendments the spokesmen of the Democratic party from the South in both branches of Congress have kept up constant effort to abridge and nullify those Amendments.
THERE has never been a session of Congress held since 1870 that some Democrat has not sought to offer a bill or add an Amendment with the paramount object of depriving us of the ballot.
DESPITE all of the nefarious acts and tricks which have been resorted to abridge our rights—despite all of the jim crow laws that that party has legislated against Negroes for the purpose of humiliating and intimidating them, the party now comes in sheep's clothes and asks the Negro to vote for Governor Smith and thereby enthrone the southern oligarchy which have declared over and often that a Negro has no rights that the white man is bound to respect, and in face of the fact that at the Democratic Convention at Houston, Texas, this year the Negro was separated from the white delegates by a chicken wire cage!
ANOTHER argument offered by this organization who would have Negroes vote for Governor Smith is that the Republican party in the last twenty years has not lived up to the traditions of Lincoln, Sumner, and Garfield. Be it said to the everlasting discredit of the Democratic leaders such as Tillman, Varadaman, Blease, Heflin, and Harrison that they have lived up to the tradition of their party whose tradition favors segregation, Jim crow-cars and disfanchising of the Negro.
THE unfortunate thing about the whole matter is that the Democratic party has beguiled some very able Negro leaders in various sections of the country to help them carry out their aim. One of the chief arguments made by those who feel that the Negro will enhance his political status by voting for Governor Smith is that by doing so the race will gain favor with the Democratic party.

One of the chief arguments made by those who feel that the Negro will enhance his political status by voting for Governor Smith is that by doing so the race will gain favor with the Democratic party.
NOW Mr. Colored Voter, with all of these historical facts in hand and all of these unrefuted statements presented, ask yourself the question whether or not you would be serving your country and your Race by voting for a party whose paramount object is "Keep the Negro in the lowest level of political existence."
A vote for the Democratic party would be a vote for lower tariff, lower wages and a lower standard of American living. A vote for Herbert Hoover is a vote for national success, sobriety and safety and freedom.
HERBERT HOOVER
When you go to the polls, cast your vote for Herbert Hoover, the man who heads the party that spent four years on the battlefields of this country that you might become freedmen.

THE
Telephone service has become a vital service to the world of today. Each year sees its hundreds of thousands of new telephones added to those already served by the companies of the Bell System.
Last year nearly 800,000 were added, swelling the total for the country to more than 18,000,000 - one telephone for every seven of population.
At the end of 1927 the aggregate cost of the plant and equipment devoted to furnishing this necessary service to the people of the United States had reached the impressive total of nearly three and one half billion of dollars. Thus the furnishing of telephone service has grown to be one of the world's greatest industries.
The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Baltimore City which is one of the associate companies of the Bell System serves 194,000 telephones in the State of Maryland. It represents an investment of more than $42,391,000. Each year brings additions of about 8,200 telephones and each year there is added about $3,400,000 in additional plant and equipment.
Thus the demand for service in our territory continues just as it does throughout the rest of the country. And just as we have met the demand in the past we shall make every effort to continue to meet it in the future and to give the most telephone service and the best at the lowest cost to the public.

Father of City's School Building Program
The child of Baltimore is indeed fortunate when one considers the wonderful school system that the metropolis operates at such an enormous expense. Year by year the city has wiped away antiquated school buildings and in their places has erected structures for educational purposes equal to any in the world. Today Baltimore stands out as a city which is willing to spend its money for the education of the young. At the present time the City of Baltimore is spending the last $10,000,000 of $32,000,000 set aside in a period of eight years for school buildings. No city in the country can boast of such an extensive and expensive program as the City of Baltimore is now completing.
In the beginning of the first administration of Mayor William F. Broening the school project was started with an initial loan of $7,000,000 for school buildings. Later in his first administration Mayor Broening realized that this amount would not be adequate to give to the children of Baltimore the needed school facilities that would make the city rank with the best in the country. He advocated a second loan of $15,000,000,000.00 additional placed before the people. It was given the hearty approval of the citizens and Baltimore then started on its way to complete the largest school project ever attempted.
In this splendid progress in the development of the physical properties of the school system the members of the teaching staff have not been forgotten. Their salaries have been greatly increased. The city swimming pool in Druid Hill Park is also the work of the mayor.
Mayor Broening, who took the initiative in these matters can truthfully be called the father of Baltimore's new and better schools.

Today, the humble office has been replaced with a noble Greek edifice. 61,000 depositors have raised the original $200 deposit to $40,000,000! $6000 in investments have leaped to $38,000,000! But do figures alone give the complete picture? No! Back of these tremen-

PORO AGENTS RENDER DISTINCTIVE SERVICE
RAINED in one of America's Leading Schools of Beauty Culture, PORO Agents are specialists in the art of Beauty Culture-beauty of the hair, beauty of the complexion, beauty of the nails, beauty of one's person. That PORO Agents may keep abreast with new improved methods and thus render to PORO patrons the most discriminating service, it is the privilege of every PORO Agent to visit PORO COLLEGE at St. Louis for the Free Ten-Day PORO Review Course as often as once every twelve months. No charges are made for room and board during the Ten-Day Review.
PORO Products for hair and skin are sold only by PORO Agents. These celebrated preparations are distributed throughout the world. To those familiar with the Hair and Toilet Goods Industry, it is only necessary to mention "PORO" to recall the dominant part these popular preparations have played in the development of beauty culture.
Are you letting your hair grow? Do you find it difficult to an- ge? There is a nearby PORO Agent who will cheerfully and efficiently serve you. Have you just the right face powder? There is a shade of PORO Face Powder to blend beautifully and naturally with every complexion—five tones of brown, a brunette of Spanish tint, a flesh with a suggestion of rose, and a pure white. Delightful Creams—Vanishing and Cold—are offered in new art jars. Do you wish a deodorant—mild, safe, and effective? PORO Cream Deodorant unfailingly prevents and destroys body odor. PORO Agents handle a complete line of PORO Preparations for the hair and skin. If you do not know the PORO Agent, write us, and a PORO Agent will call.
PORO Agents, as a result of their training through PORO COLLEGE and their exclusive handling of PORO Preparations, earn splendid profits. And there are openings right now for the enterprising woman to increase her earnings as a PORO Agent. No large outlay of money is necessary. Write today for the free booklet "PORO In Pictures." No obligations, of course.

Bath House, which is one of the finest and most modernly equipped in Hot Springs, has a permit from the United States Government to use this health restoring water in its tubs. If you are sick or if you want to keep from getting sick, these magic waters will make you whole.
