VA. —"The governing body of a public library may not exclude persons therefrom on account of their color, race or previous condition of servitude." With this decision written, by Judge Litz and handed down by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, the Charlotte Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. won a sweeping decision against the Board of Education of the Charleston Independent School District which had sought by a ruling to bara Negroes from the main building of the public library and segregate them in Garnett Branch library. Gift Was Cause The order of the school board followed a proposed gift by one Humphren, a western oil magnate, in which there was a stipulation that Negroes should not be permitted to decking to accept this gift with its stipulation, the board passed a resolution in December, 1927, which provined, That the secretary be requested to the library, and that the library public inform any colored citizens who come to the library, that inasmuch as the Board has provided Garnett Branch library for t. i. e. exclusive use, they must use the library instead. Charleston library instructed and that the librarian shall be instructed to refuse to serve them." Protest Follows Immediate protests from organizations and individuals followed, and in February of this year the Charleston Branch of the N. A. A. C. S. sent a letter to the board asking them to rescind this action. By way of a response, the school board demanded its former action, but passed an additional resolution making the main building of the public library a part of the public school system and the Garnett Branch for use of colored children only.

Dumas' white grandpa gave him little beside his noble blood. The boy took his mother's name. She was a San Domíngan Negro slave, Louise Celeste Dumas. Dumas' Negro father was a French General under Napoleon—His Negro blood did not bar him from commanding French divisions in Egypt, the Alps and the Pyrenees. His mother was a white innkeeper's daughter. Dumas wrote stories like the "Three Musketeers," which will probably live forever. His friends and associates were sculptors like Barye, writers like Hugo and Balzac, painters like Corot, and planists like Listz. If Dumas came to Baltimore today, he could be barred from Charles Street busses, the Southern Hotel would not give him a room or a meal, and he would find trouble in getting a Pullman berth over Dixie railroads. Genius, talent, character wouldn't matter. He'd be just a Negro. Hairdresser Says Her Husband Preferred A Housekeeper WASHINGTON. D.

Life proved too great a strain for Graycee Eunice Owens, pretty 19-year old student of the Miner Normal school, and Monday her name was added to the list of suicidal deaths of students that have come like a wave in recent years. Police seeking to unravel the mystery of her taking her life were inclined to the theory that she was unwilling to keep her batrotail. She was to be married at Christmasmine is a but married, they say. The suicide notes left by Miss Owens hinted at an affair with a man two years ago. She chose death rather than decease the man to whom she was to be married, police concluded. Shot Self- Shortly after noon Monday Miss Owens shot herself with a .38 caliber live Johnson revolver. The bulldog loved her heart. The Emergency Hospital ambulance responded, and Miss Owens was pronounced dead upon arrival.

One of them was addressed to a friend, "Dear Agen"; a third to "Dear Joe"; a fourth to "Dear Billy" and a fifth to "To whom it may concern." The police who read their contents say that they indicated she had read too much fiction, evidently some of the "True Stories" type, and their investigation led them to the conclusion that there was no good reason for her killin; herself, they say. Miss Owens was a graduate of the Dunbar High School. She was a member of the second year class of the Miner Formation School. She also a school in New York. She left Oberlin, her friends say, because she thought she was better. Afterwards her marks showed the contrary. She has been out of school very much this year on account of ill health.

P.)—Farm relief and tariff are not only problems which President-elect Hoover is going to face when he takes office, according to Charles Michelson, veteran political analyst who writes articles on politics for a large number of white dailies. One of Mr. Hoover's biggest problems, Mr. Michelson believes, is going to be the proper social disposition of Congressman-elect Oscar DePriest from the First District in this city. Of course, as Mr. Michelson points out, Mr. DePriest is colored. Nevertheless, his position as a Congressman is important. If there is an inaugural ball, President Hoover can scarcely "cut" the colored Congressman, even though the latter's coming might mean that his wife and many members of his family would be there. In Mr. DePriest is invited and the southern Congressmen who were directed to themselves, mingling socially with a Negro, what will happen then? Will Mr. Hoover prefer to lose the support of the southerners or of the Negroes or of the Negro vote is the balance of power? Four Receptions One of the four receptions held by the Negro men. Mr. Michelson says of them: "The receptions are always crowded. The line extends down the great staircase and through the doorway, naked as close as they can stand, advancing a foot at a time as the head of the line pays its respects to the president and his lack. It takes hours to meet him. His quest is like honey. It is a terrific shock to the race-conscious southerners to be massed with colored gentlemen and ladies, not seem to be anything the president can do about it." Mr. DePrist is also interested in the House barber shop and restaurant. However, Chicago friends point out that Mr. DePrist may save the children a line. In his home town the Commuch of a social bug. His life is greessman-elect does not go to be so difficult. His business and Mrs. DePrist does very little entertaining. It might be that in Washington society would give him the same sort of ennui that it in Chicago, and he would fail to show up. If there is an inaugural ball, the there is just a chance to take a trainload of friends down to Washington for the inauguration, and it is possible that one of the sights that he might see is the presence at a White House Ball.

CHURCHES WON'T HAVE TRUTH-EVANGELIST Folks Who Carry Life Insurance And Then Reject Salvation Are Stupid PREJUDICE UNCHRISTIAN Many Pastors Afraid To Preach The Truth, He Adds "I would not make a successful pastor because folks would not endure the sound doctrine which I preach, and as a evangelist I am, a servant, as ashamed of the acts of a number of my fellow evangelists." So declared the Rev. F. L. Hodges at the Mt. Horam Baptist Church in the city of Sunday, in the presence of the pastor. The minister spoke from the subject: "The greatness of salvation sincerely considered; and that we neglect so great a salvation?"—Hebrew 2:3. "The act of God in transforming a sinner into a saint, a Christian, is a marvelous one," he writes. The ministers can make pure gold out of bar brass or diamonds out of nuggets of coal, and yet men sneer at regeneration as a fantasy, a myth, and women who carry human or earthly life insurance, but are not wise enough to take out heavenly insurance are indeed stupid and are to be treated in the condition, but the acceptance of the Son of God in uses one for its possession. "The greatness of salvation glores forth in the schools, and the help of mankind, all men who give to these objects may not be Christians, but it is a rule than the exception that their hearts so be touched by a Supreme power."

Opens Sunday RACIAL SUPERIORITY A JOKE, SPEAKER SAYS Science Does Not Back Up Theory Of Nordic Dominance SKIN COLOR NO INDEX Vanity Cause Of Present Inter-racial Feeling That the theory of racial superiority held by the white man today is a fallacy was the opinion expressed by Dr. Samuel L. Slovin, white, at the Inter-racial Forum, at Carpenter's Hall, Sunday evening. "Man, like the rat", Dr. Slovin declared, "the rat will not be caught twice by the same bait, we will swallow everything." "The superior claims of the white man," the speaker pointed out, "should be backed by science if they are to be held valid." "Science seeks and speaks only truth, which fails the white man in his contentions," he writes, "which being only half-truths, are worse than lies; and he uses this brand to purposefully mislead the unthinking of the darker groups. Vamity Is Cause The unthinking of man is responsible for the feeling of superiority in individuals, which extends to families, groups, nations. The white man feels that because he is responsible today, that his god is the best, his religion the best, his code of ethics the best, his planet the best. And the darker races were made by his best god to be his seas." Whose Turn Next? "All men have come from one common ancestor; but by accident, or mastery in combat, or economic environments, different races at different times have gained the ascendency, which today happens lodged in the white groun. That is, their single valid argument for virility." G. G. Owens, chairman, announced as speaker for next Sunday evening, Rev. W. W. Walker, of Madison St. Presbyterian Church.

PROMPT AND POLITE SERVICE ADVISES PASTORS TO READ "ELMER GANTRY" Ministers Should Keep Up With Their Critics Declares Rev. J. E. Lee READING DISCUSSED Praeschers of the gospel should read Sinclair Lewis' "Emmar Ganry," Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter", and other books of this nature in order to keep up their critics, the M. E. E. Leotak, M. E. E. Preachers' Meeting, Monday morning at Bethel Church. "The Minister and His Reading" was the subject of the Rev. Mr. Lee paper. "No minister," he said, "can give out more than he has in his own mind, and for this reason the background of history, philosophy and literature is necessary for every well-wisher." "The minister is the teacher in the domain of religion and morals, he declared, "and for this reason, he know more clearly than any soldier than his congratulation. "Some preachers," he he, "lared, "are mental vacuums who give the people a sermon full of truth, fine reading about the Bible rather than reading the Bible itself. "Ministers," he added, "should read books which are opposed to organized religion, and that they may support for the faith." covers For pastors he recommended Schofield's "Translation of the Bible." In response to the question as to whether or not young people should be referred to the new and modern translation of the Bible by James Moffet, rather than the King James, can revised version than the King James, Rev. Mr. Lee said for the laity he advised reading of the King James' version. Letters were read by the Rev. C. H. Stonean from Senator-elect Phillip Lee Goldborough and Dr. John R.

NOT LITTLE DAVID CHURCH FOLK AGREE Theological Seminaries Have Taught This For Years NEW YORK. — Who killed Colgate? Not David. Bible scholars for some time have been pointing out the statement in Second Samuel 21: 19, where the killing of Goliath, the Gittel, was made by Moses' weaver's beam, is ascribed to a Hebrew by the name of Ehhanan. Last week a new commentary on the Holy Scripture published on the website of Dr. Charles Gore, once Bishop of Oxford, came out flatly against David and in favor of Ehhanan. According to Dr. Gore, and some other scholars who collaborated with him, other narratives in the old testament like Jonah and the whale, Methusela and his 999 years, Belshazzar and his feast, were more than a product of the Hebrew habit of exaggeration. Dr. Gore declared that Moses did not write the Pentateuch, but was probably an exaggerated account of a local flood near Babylon, that the world and the waters and the sky were not created by God. Moses on Me Sniai was probably the result of some Hebrew made afraid by a thunderclap. Dr. Gore's belief in the new testament, however, stands firm in his new volume. He accepts the account of the raising of Lazarus and declares his belief in the act of resurrection of Christ and in His returnrec Not A New Belief Agreement with the conclusions of Dr. Gore and his associates so far: the Old Testament is concerned, is supported by theological seminars through out the country, most all of whom teach passages of the Old Testament consists of myths, poetry, literature, history and symbolism.

"Song of the Open" by La Forge again found the singer winning honors, for she was forced to respond with the encore to her selection. The audience selection was indeed difficult but rendered in a masterful style. Her high range was clearly convincing in this piece. In her final selection before she sang the spirituals but when she gave her audience a real operetic treat to the aria "Ritorna Uniclor," taken from Adia. The singer's piano passages were soothing and sweet, and the whole song was a revelation to the singer's wide range. No fault at all can be said of Clara B. Rhetta who presided at the piano in a masterful fashion. She accompanied the singer p. pianist in playing in the instrument's tones gently with the singer's voice.

Mr. Pitts opened the topic with a review of Asiatic countries, basing his argument on the fact that men for all times have empathy and naturally the sight of blazing headlines across the front pages of most of the American newspapers of atrocious crimes had its effect upon weaklings and young men, finally and therefore served on evil end. During the argument, which was a free-for-all while it lasted, several of the speakers drifted from the suburbs to the city where from the regeneration of the editors to the invoking of federal censorship. Some believed that newspapers played up crime because it was what the people thought was the moral proposition; others felt that the moral welfare of a community should be paramount to the publishers of a newspaper rather then dollars, and that folks should not be given what they want when it is Mr. A. Koger, chairman of the forum, said he did not favor abridgement of the reading material, rather would suggest that we try to educate the reading masses to a desire for literature and news of an interest to the public or demand from the men and women so educated would surely be considered and compiled with by editors and authors. Mr. Harrison (white) secretary of the General Y. M. C. A. Board, was presented and commended the open book discussion with the view that certain the discussion would bear fruit for good.

THE NEW YORK HOTEL MILLION-DOLLAR PYTHIAN NATIONAL TEMPLE, CHICAGO Baltimore Porter Piloted "Black Chile" From South "Joe" Brown, Veteran of Pullman Service, On Raskob Train; Has Served Kings, Queens, Presidents and Other Dignitaries CHICAGO—(ANP) —After forty-five years as an active knight among the Pythians, Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green led in a ceremony here Tuesday, dedicating the million-dollar national Pythian temple which, as he described it, represented the consummation of a quarter of a century of sacrificial effort. This ceremony in the heart of Chicago was impressive, not only because of the magnitude of the task which it symbolized, but because it represented the materialization of a vision, the final display of twenty-five years of effort which had for its purpose the building of a monument that would be an inspiration to the race. Not only is the new million-dollar Pythian temple in Chicago a pinnacle of achievement for the K of P.'s, but its 'ugeness and beauty set a goal for all fraternal enterprises. According to W. T. Bailey, the architect, this temple is the largest building in the world, controlled anywhere in the world, surpassing Poro College in St. Louis and the new home of the Madame C. J.

In the basement are bowling alleys, billard rooms, and drill rooms for the uniform rank. The second, third, and fourth floors contain on the front a total of 75 offices which are to be rented to outsiders. The fifth and sixth floors, front, hold the offices of the various officers of the order. On the fifth floor, rear, are four lodge halls of moderate size, two in either wing of the building, and each capable of accommodating about four hundred persons. The sixth floor, rear, has two lodge halls, large enough to hold one thousand persons each. The seventh and eighth floors comprise what is to be called the roof garden. It is divided into two oblong pavilions, brightly-lit, with a large balcony. It is estimated that each of these pavilions will accommodate 2,500 persons.

In each group she showed her command over, and the range of her rich vibrating voice and the numbers "Die Allmänner," "Night," "The Fallen," "Song of the Open" were rendered with the true dramatic feeling of complete interpretation.

Lots Of Bunk In King Vidor's Film "Hallelujah" Jerome Carrington Offered Job Playing In Paris Band Baltimore Pianist And Organist, Now At Regal In Chicago, Sought By Noble Sissle—Placed At Regent LOS ANGELES, Cal. (ANP) — What is going to be the price of the glory which the huge colored cast iron used to take the used photography, "Halloween," expect to reap. Will they find that they have bought their popularity at the cost of the pride of their race? that is the question which is agitating the publicity agents of the picture progresses and as the publicity agents for it get busy with their elants on its purpose and prospects. *Chelsea Parsons* has written the following for the Hearst papers: "King Vidor has brought Harlem to Hollywood. Dusky belles, tall, young, black-skinned boys," plump mammals, and pickinamies are swarming around the Miro-Goldwyn-Mayer lot." Why Dusky Belles : The colored girls whom Mr. Vidor has employed will not enjoy being described as "dusky belles," nor will they be identified as "mammies" and "pickanninies." These are uncomplimentary names n. ames, associated with an even past, from away and leaders of the race are bound to view with alarm this commercial protection of the Negro before the public disregard for the Negro's feeling. But these names are not all. Miss Parsons writes further: "Acting for a responsive chord in the hearts of this simple, emotional race. They weep openly and lustily every time an affront is made, something so wired and so soul-stirring in their soft chanting that the white people watching get an echolocation as being so garded as being so 'emotionally simple,' and they don't believe that By J. EDGAR STANLEY Baltimore for many years back has earned the reputation of being the hometown of many politicians who have made national and internationally known. At Regal In Chicago The most recent successful person, at I have in mind is Jerome Carrion, a pianist and organist, still in his early twenties, now performing at the Regal Theare, Chicago.

Carrington has now earned an invariable reputation as a leading being constantly sought by Noble Sissle to come to Paris and work as a member of his musical organiza- Played At Regent Before going West the young musician was organist and pianist at a position about three years and on leaving some of the female customers were ready to hang a crepe on the organ. A general conceded by the public that no other . . . gaint has gotten much music from the instrument as did Carrington, who worked at console when it was first installed. Left Church For Theatre Probably many people will be interested to know, at this young age, that on going into the Regent, it was not only his first theatre job, but that he came fresh from the position of church organist, and at the first performance, "sat within speaking distance of the organ and encouraged him as he shristened the organ with its first jazz strains. The organ was rhythmically executed by the young musician, as many of his admirers in the audience showed their appreciation by applauding. The moment of Jerome Carrington's swift movement musical career, we find him struggling to TALKIES George Dewey Washington "Favorite Son of the South." Movetone: Metro. Songs: 6 mins. Regal: Chicago. George Dewey Washington has turned out the first of shorts. It is a George Dewey natural. Although the photography is only fair, George sings his songs and recites in such a manner, one feels that he is making the flesh. George starts off with "King For A Day," and took just enough bows to meet the applause. He closes with "Half Way To Heaven." This one kicked me in the beast.

Regrettable as it may be, Negroes are turning from the spirituals, unhappy reminders of an unhappy period in the life of the race.

Miss Parsons continues: "Mr. Vidor hopes to make a race picture just as Nankok of the North was a race picture as Nankok of the South is a show Negro life as it really is and without a mission or problem to solve. There isn't a white person in the New York production of *Show Boat*. He is a college graduate and a product of our new civilization.

He kills his brother in the play, and after an intensely affectionate scene he was so deep in emotion that he first deep cobs that last for an hour. "Mr. Vidor dares not rehearse him terrificly. I watched Haven during the chanting of mourning walls and murmurs that he had to leave the school." Real Bunk It seems certain that Haynes must have lauded for an hour after reading all that gush about himself. He is a malattio as much white as he is black. He is a man who has have the primitive emotions of the African than he has to have the same kind of emotions of the Saxon. He certainly would enjoy having it told that his desire to improve himself would be "venered" of civilization which cannot erase from his presence certain savage aspects. master the organ at St. James P. E. Church, Baltimore, less than a year after his rather feeble musical education began. Carrington came to M. E. Church in 1884 and at M. E. Church on the invitation of the daughter of St. James' rector, who offered to give him musical training free if he would come to attend her and a graduate of Iliaca Conservatory of Music, no doubt saw promise in the boy.

Often so much music came from the instrument until one was made to wonder whether or not it was more than one person there. He began to run up against real difficulties, for he was not exerting the vaudeville entertainers. Finally after many bawls out, and after making many mistakes, he began to play like a veteran. This he acceded less than a year's work in the theatre. Chicago now has this Baltimore boy's services. Baltimore has been clamoring for a new film, which is also bidding heavily for him.

"Moreover, a large proportion of the native-born population which has been moving from country to city is now in New York, and has been added to since the war as a result of the increasing numbers of colored people who have migrated to the southern states to New York, and other urban areas in the north. "The growth in colored population in New York is the report says, "where the number of Negroes approximately tripped in the 20-year period ending in 1920. The Negro percentage of the total population in New York is 4.8 in 1900 and 4.8 in 1920. Greater percentages existed in 1920 in the suburban New Jersey cities of Montclair and Jersey City, and the rate of increase is relatively less. The total Negro population of New York City early in 1928 was 150,000, and by the end of the ban League to be in excess of 250,000, of which 170,000 are in Harlem." Philly Children Buy Numbers PHILADELPHIA. — Three men charged with operating two alleged ball for court, by Magistrate Roberts at a hearing in the Nineteenth and Oxford Streets station last week. The men were frequent by children sent by parents and older people, afraid to place themselves in danger of being caught. Among the spoil brought back from a raid on a delicatessen store at the corner of 12th and 13th, were books, sheets, cash and the proprietor, Charles Sugarman, white; and John Hughes, 52, Ingersoll street, white. The men were placed under arrest. During the raid, two children, Wertle Curtis, 14, of Lambert street, and Jerry Curtis, 12, of Master street, near 12th, entered the store and after asking to play some "numbers", the men were taken into custody and held under $500 bail each.

NEW YORK. — Growth of the Negro population of New York City has been four times as great as that of the general population of the city during the past decade, with consequent growth of slums in Harlem rivaling in over-congestion the worst districts of the Lower East Side. The city has brought out in a comprehensive survey of the population of the area within 50 miles of Manhattan, to be published in the Plan of New York and its Environs. Despite the decline in immigration due to the quota laws, the report also finds, there has been no resultual increase of the city's population. "A large part of the enormous growth of New York's population has been due to the incoming drift of immigrants from the small towns and rural communities of the United States and Canada", the report states. "These immigrants are supplement, and to some extent compete with each other. As the direct stream of foreign immigration is reduced by legal restrictions the immigration rate is rising."

DECLARES SOUTH STILL SOLID NEW YORK CITY, (GNP) —That the South is yet "solid" politically was the opinion expressed by Rev. Harry Bowley, general secretary of the Presbyterian Alliance, at a meeting of the Presbyterian Ministers Association here Wednesday. The fact that four southern states voted against the law in the last election does not mean that they are "Republican states" declared the speaker, who termed it a debacle, George G. Bush, aside the Democratic platform and made himself bigger than the party. With another leader of the party, the states would have remained Democratic, Rev. Bowley told his hearers.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER Some scenes are passing, but some remained as fixed pictures in our minds. Till never forget the picture of an old time Bethel Church choir singing the balleluja chorus. My father led this choir for 20 years, and the singing of this great choral never failed to move the audience like a gospel message. ***** We shall overcome or undergo race prejudice asks Dr. Kelly Miller, in another column on this page. Dr. Miller, whom most of his friends refer to as Dean Miller, finds that that the color line is becoming definite and that interracial commissions are changing it from the horizontal to the vertical position. Protest is exhausted, says the good dean, and not a single evil is altered. That's the dark side of a light subject. Here is another view. Look at the growth of mulattoes in the United States. 1920 10,463,131 BLACK MULATTO 1920 10,463,131 8,802,577 1,660,554 1920 9,821,763 7,777,077 2,050,686 1800 7,488,676 6,337,980 1,322,060 This would indicate that Dr. Miller is correct. The color line is becoming fixed. The race become slowly lighter, but it is not becoming white. Well, why wait for nature? Nobody delays flying until he sprouts a pair of wings. Instead he makes artificial wings, legs, eyes, food and anything else mankind needs. The color line in America can be eliminated by artificial means. Go to it Poor and Walkers. You have made curly hair straight, the formula now for changing pigmentation in skin. LET EVERY COLORED PERSON WHO CAN PASS FOR WHITE, GO OVER TO THE WHITE RACE. We haven't been doing that in the past. We have allowed silly ideas of race pride to stamp persons as colored, who were white outside and inside than millions of so-called "white people." But we have passed over for their own sakes. But for white for "white" for the sake of humanity. Go into the white race and change its race prejudice, its un-Christianity and its disrespect for law. A half million so-called white to the white race can aid materially in changing public sentiment. Color is accidental. Whatever purpose it once served Negroes in Africa is useless here. Like the apprehension it is an ancient, unworthy, troublesome spot and source of corruption. Instead of attempting to change Anglo Saxon feeling only, let's change the color of Negroes. Let's do both. Let's turn white. Instead of attempting to change Anglo Saxon feeling only, let's change the color of Negroes. Let's do both. Let's turn white. Sergeant Pinckney Rufus Pinckney, sergeant 372nd Infantry A. E. F., (formerly Maryland National Guards) died in Pittsburgh last week. He earned a war cross in France, rescued a French officer under machine gun fire and captured 13 Germans single handed. When Sergeant Pinckney told a man "hands over hands usually went up. He was twice gassed. Returning to Baltimore, the "good soldier" looked to his city and his state for a means of livelihood. He could drive a garbage cart or a fire engine walk police heat, but these are white jobs in Baltimore. So the sergeant deserted Baltimore for Pittsburgh where a war record is something more than a piece of paper. For nearly ten years he served as a Pittsburgh patrolman with distinction, capturing notorious gunmen and keeping his district free of bandits. Here's to soldier Pinckney, who found a way or made one. Color line and Hindenburg line were to be used in the ungratitude of Baltimore and Maryland did not sour his spirit or abate his energy. He carried on. we smile when public education in the South is discussed. Especially is this true when public high schools are mentioned. It used to be true that education in Dixie stopped with the eight grade, but now it's not. Decatur, N.Y. "Newbold of North Carolina colored schools told last week of 20,000 pupils in high schools in his state alone, and 221 four year high schools in other Southern states. We can't laugh that off, and unless more conspicuous use is made of opportunities in northern and border states, Dixie will soon be laughing." Most other cities present a sorry spectacle indeed when it comes to making a public demonstration in musical festivals, drills, games or pageants requiring participation of large numbers. Think of that Dallas chorus of 600 next time you are inclined to look down on the South. Send 'Em To Brazil ***** The Equator of the color line disappears on the American Continent.

It had in 1872 3,767,280 whites, 1,959,452 Africans, 366,955 Indians and 380,762 mixed bloods. Now it counts its citizens as folks, not as red black or white. Black officials among others will welcome Mr. Hoover to Brazil, which has millions of Negroes, but no color line or color prejudice. Negroes. No blacks are mixed in Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia that no one can now tell to what race he belongs. Present U. S. laws refuse permission to colored citizens who would visit Brazil. They should be amended to compel every white person to go to a first hand lesson in proper human behavior.

To the Editor: It was erroneously stated in the AFRO last week that the Blue Jays Band knew nothing of the proposed dance, etc., under the article headed, "Dance Breaks Up: Two Bands Appear." Mr. Grimes, leader of the Blue Jays Band was informed of the financial situation of the aired treasury bill, which was revealed appear on Wednesday, November 28th, since the Blue Jays Band didn't "are to play on a percentage basis with the club. The Silver Leaf Orchestra was engaged and on a percentage basis with the club, having no other engagement, decided to play for the club, but without notify-ing anybody to that effect. Consequently, two orchestras appeared. The Blue Jays Band can first and refused to allow the Silver Leaf Orchestra to play. The latter orchestra withdrew with At 10:45, when I came to the Albert Auditorium, there were few young kolls in the hall. I advised Mr. Grimes to stop playing at 11:30, again reminding him of the financial status of the club. He said, "alright, and was perfectly suited to it." He kept his engagement since he had been advertised. As for people clamoring for their money, the re were few to do that not more than fifteen, who were all well known to each other and were able to find the club in question didn't have a successful affair. The spirit of the whole affair, as well as the attitude of the orchestra has been grossly misrepresented. Neither do I call myself a member of several clubs. It is my duty to assist them in arranging public social functions. H. LOUISE R'TD. 723 Baker-St.—Advisor, Junior League of Club. Building Depression, Not Prejudice, Is Responsible For Lack of Employment Among Bricklayers in Jersey and New York. To the Editor: In your issue of November 24, 1928, Mr. T. A. Marshall, a bricklayer, evidently of New York, has said that employment is a great factor in not obtaining employment. That prevailing habit of looking for prejudice where it does not exist, has moulded the opinions and derisions of the many people; and therefore, the battle is lost before it is begun. In any case, colored mechanics will not apply to where the man does not see colored men, already employed. Not so much of pioneering, but great on follo- ing, in beaten trails. Mr. Marshall also stated that not more than two or three colored bricklayers were on jobs which had fifty whites. That is indeed wonderful progress, when you could see the year 1915, there were not six colored union bricklayers in a radius of fifty miles of New York City. And I dare say, neither north of the Potomac, nor south of the New York City and its environs. These men are from all over the United States and if they couldn't find employment in the construction industry, they would be readily employed. At present there is a depression in the building industry. For each colored bricklayer out of work there are plenty of whites in the same predica- Between the year of 1920 anth 1927, when building was at its peak, contractors were actually offering premiums to obtain bricklayers but today the pendulum has swung to the opposite. Even in Bronx, where colored bricklayers only, are now employed. Some with colored foremen. These observations are based in twenty-four years of personal experiences in thirty-four states.

GILLS NUTTER I read your editorial in the issue of the Afro-American journal in the number 8, entitled "Roland Hayes" and I was a bit saddened thereby for it seems that you. Neval Thomas and the colored citizens of Washington and Baltimore are trying to saddle up Mr. Hayes a duty which is justifiable. I do not quite understand why any one should feel that Mr. Hayes, over night, should solve a problem which over 400,000 people in Washington have not been able to solve in the last fifty years. Do you think it is quite fair to saddle up Mr. Hayes the solution of the customs and traditions which have existed in Baltimore and Washington for forty years. I went to Baltimore in 1896, a green country boy, from Princess Anne, Maryland, and attended a theater there where Sir Katherine was and the ladies who accompanied me had to sit in the gallery. In Charleston we have assumed the responsibility for changing the conditions that had existed here a long time prior to her death, successfully by bringing Mr. Hayes to the city ourselves and putting him in the largest theater here. What we have been able to do in this regard is very clearly expressed in our book, which the reviewer of Mr. Hayes' concert said. "For the first time in the history of the city of Charleston, almost sixty years after the Civil War which resulted in the emancipation of slaves, the reviewer assembled in a theater in Charleston as a mixed audience. The occasion was a concert given by Roland Hayes, a Negro singer, considered a representative of his race, and the peer of all others in the exemplification of one of the seven We bring Mr. Hayes here year after year and we do not have the least conflict. Tickets are placed on sale at white and colored places and white and colored places buy indiscriminately from the places where tickets are placed on sale. Mr. Hayes appeared at the Kearse Theater, Sunday afternoon, December 2, 1928, and was greeted by a crowd. Mr. Hayes called "Duke's Mature" and not a word was said about race. Over a half of the audience was white. White music stores in Huntington and Parkersburg took charge of our tickets and placards in those cities. We recognize it as a mere matter of ed- It would seem to me that instead of Mr. Neval Thomas and others getting down on their knees and asking the white people to admit them to Mr. Hayes' concerts in Washington that they would rent one of the down town theaters and take charge of the concert themselves. That would be constructive. It is their duty and not Mr. Hayes to find a solution to their difficulties. Mr. Hayes is an artist, not an agitator. They have been holding mass meetings and passing resolutions in Washington for the past thirty-five years to my personal knowledge, and yet right after right has slipped from the Negro in Washington, while they were resolving and resolving, and now he is in a worse conditions so far as privileges are concerned than he was thirty-five years ago. In this section we have tried to map out a constructive program and we have permitted nothing to cause us to deviate from the same. In the argument of our Library case recently before the Supreme Court of Appeals the attorneys for the school board discussed the race problem at length. In closing the argument for our group I said to the Court that "I shall not indulge in a discussion of the race problem as it has no place in this case." It seems to me that this constant hammering of Mr. Hayes because Negroes are not admitted to theaters in certain of the major cities of America, the majority of our group would prefer not to see in print, but is an attempt to destroy a character who has done more to impress upon the character of the Negro than any one of our group who has appeared upon the scene in the last fifty years. Through the coming of Mr. Hayes our theaters have been opened to Negro artists. Charlesston, W. Va. Mr. Pickens' Unfairness Lay In His Reference That The Democrates Sent Money In The Election In A Way That Republicans Didn't. In your editorial of November 17th, you have an article by Mr. W. A. Pickens. Your heading to this article is anything unfair in his article, just what he says about the renting of the theatre happened here at Lakewood, on both for second and third evenings. Mr. Pickens addressed the issue of renting the theatre, learn through our daily paper that the Ocean County Colored Democratic Club held a meeting and "big field" that night, and according to testimonial from the missioner Newman, this Club Democratic was to meet at his house for a "booze party" after the meeting. But plans were torn asunder by the sheriff who raided the local character's home, and the missioners was addressing the Colored Republican Club. The residents here, both white and colored, are still singing praise of Mr. W. A. Pickens and his wonderful man, the author of the affair of summonatory duty of abuse for opinions of persons that differ from what he believes or knows to be right. There are many here who will do all in their power to bring Mr. Pickens here again. We are here. County largest paper, stopped me and talked of Mr. Pickens' wonderful address, and wishes to hear him again. CHARLES, WILLIAMS, Lakewood, N. J. Agitate, Boycott, Appeal to Conscience Says Neval Thomas, Calls To Have Been A Part of What He Calls the Great Revolt. Though we lost, we won. No longer will we be able to tell a man's political opinion by his skin. Hereafter when we want to know what a black man is thinking about, we must ask him. I am able to tell him what he is going to give result. It has brought us into the human family. It attracted the attention of the leading writers and thinkers of the nation, for they filled their columns with guesses and speculations about the future. It encouraged our ancient enemy to offer us even the American Congress for our alliance with them. In feature writing and in editorial comment black men and women in both parties were invited to testify for tolerance, political thinking, and for leadership. It forced the Republican Party to invest more money to hold the lines than ever before in its history, and gave our country the unprecedented sense to two great parties to struggle for the right to America now known that a party can lose us, and another can get us. We sued for peace, and, as the noted writer, William S. Hard put it, "Many a community in both North and South granted that peace." The slave state of Missouri answered with her offer Congress to place him there. In the defeat of McLemore, and the failure of a few thousands and black voters in his district lost us a Democratic black congressman. Think of what such a victory would mean! DePriest in the Republican Caucus and LeRoy in the Republican Caucus, and LeRoy in which legislation is really made! The race could keep track of the secrets of both parties, and helped substantially in shaping their attitudes toward the Negro. The Solid South was broken by two great hatreds, hatred toward Catholicism, and the resurrection of the ancient bugaboof of Negro domi- Mr. Hoover is not the President of the Republican Party, but the Servant of All of the People, and I, for one, shall appeal to him for full justice to the Negro with as much earnest effort as he can, and urged his election. Whoever is President leaves my duties one and the same, for the Reformer cannot sheath his sword from war until he has won every right for his people that an other has lost. He must be willing to take that forward step in government. Let us join all of the other discontented groups in the world, for our Cause is one. Let us vote and play political parties against each other; let us boycott, and appeal to conscience, always having but one thought—the good of our fellowman. NEVAL H. THOMAS, Washington, D. C. SIMPLE TROUGHTS Those who give with the purpose of making someone happy, will receive the true reward that goes with such giving. Give and be happy. CHARLES WILLIAMS. ARCHIE R. SMITH CAL CONGRESS FRED B. WASSON K.M. Says: To Overcome or Underge Race Prejudice — Which?— Race Lines Are Becoming Fixed—Sustaining Philosophy Is Needed. BY KELLY MILLER The Negro forms the most distinct group in the American body politic. He is separated from the white population, the general life by which he is environed. He is a part of, and at the same time apart from the dominance of the white population, it seems to me, are destined to become more definite and determined. All indications point in this direction. All proposals are based on this hypothesis. The interracial conference which promise so much helpfulness standing and good will, seeks to shift the ban of separation from a horizontal to a vertical position, the idea of separation notne the less the basic principle of procedure. Blind Pugnacity There is a certain sort of blind pugnacity which refuses to see the iron bars of the prison or the fire and into insensibility. On the other hand, there is a certain sort of cowardice which imagines that there are lions in the way where no lions exist. In an age of science and common sense. The scientific eye will not refuse to see what is before it however distasteful. A prudent courage will not refuse to offer resistance where there is any human possibility to overcome. Wisdom consists in discerning the time when the possible. The wise man seeks to undergo what he cannot overcome. Nature And Cause Race prejudice is a determined stubborn fact. Whatever its nature and cause, whatever it is innate or acquired, makes little practical difference in the occurrence of observation and operation are concerned. Race prejudice is as much a fact of observation and experience as Lake Michigan or the Alleghany mountain. It is not the mountain or dry up the lake than to eradicate race prejudice. But just as scientific skill manages to operate despite mountain and lake so the Neptune island is covered in spike, in spite of the stubborn obstacles which obstruct his path. Supreme Court And Pope Against the barriers of prejudice, the Negro has little or no self-resistance power. His only effective weapon is the white race to enforce the law which it has ordained. But the daredevil Anglo-Saxon spirit is prone to make mistakes in the laws it makes. A decision of the Supreme Court against the determined purpose of race prejudice is as imminent as the comet. Reason and argumentation fall nugatory and dead in face of its unreasoning flat. You may as well go reason with the wolf who has made the ewe bleat for the lamb. Prejudice-Problem I would make the description conform to the fact. It is this inexorable fact of race prejudice which lies at the basis of the race problem. It is this inexorable prejudice which separate the American people into more or less distinct groups. But none of them possess the stubbornness or persistence of race antagonism. The campaign, religious bigotry showed its hideous head by proclaiming the political ineligibility of the Catholic. The Jew is held to certain circumstances by virtue of racial and religious prejudices, the mere fact that he is by definition by definite marks of inequality. But none of these separative animosities have the malignity and virulence of race prejudice. Negro Alone The Negro and the Negro alone, is separate in public schools in all parts of the country where his numbers are high. His competitive. Jim-crow cars are set apart for his accommodation in travel on common carriers. State constitutionally, he is exempt from the franchise. Laws are made forbidding him to marry with persons of the white race. By supernumerary status, he up to himself after the manner of Pharaoh in assigning the Israelites to the land of Goshen. Places of worship exclude him from the participation thus barring him from the rights and privileges which inhere in the culture of the established in industry which confine to the lower levels of a livelihood. Thus "white" and "colored" have come to denote the deepest distinction and inferiority implications. A Barefoot Boy These are some of the forms in which the spirit of race prejudice manifest itself. No specific or generic performance on the part of the Negro race will avail itself against or prevaire against the Negro becomes in the ways of progress, the more assertive and defiant it becomes. When I was a bare-footboy in South Carolina often ate at a table of folks, but, Booker Washington must not dine with Theodore Roosevelt in the White House. As the race advances in substance and respectability the course of public opinion from the public service is more hostile to Negro officials under Coolidge than under Grant. We exhaust all our power to prevent the single evil against which we complain is materially altered. What Shall We Do? The Supreme Court negotiates the grandfather clauses, vet the Negro in Mississippi is denied his vote. Sororization denied us intimacy and segregation goes forward by leaps and bounds. We combat specific instances of discrimination but the trend moves forward with increased speed and that then shall we do? Shall we pield supinely in impotent wailing and idel lamentation like Elisha under the junior tree? Or shall we with the defiant spirit of the braggadocio hold the face of fate, and like Job's wild wife, curse God and die? I declare an emphatic veto to both of these actions proposed. Let us impose the most potent minority groups surrounded by a more powerful and populous element, make just appraisal of the situation. Apply the scientific method to our social problem. Let us permit minority groups nor to the right by fear of favor, cowardice or braggadocio. After the facts have been ascertained as far as our wisdom will enable us to go, then let us develop a plan that will enable us to endure the present and to face the future. Fact Finding Dr. James E. Shepard of Durham, North Carolina, has issued a call for the second session. "More assentainment of detailed facts about politics, economics, education and industry, is but tickling the fundamental cause, let us first of all get at the fundamental facts of race prejudice, of which politics are the fundamental cause and but suffice indications. Next let us develop a or devise a sustaining philosophy to guide our way amidst the difficult realities of our society, which best uset. The ax must be laid at the foot of the tree.

Past lovely Rachel's white-domed tomb- Sweet shrine of motherhood's young doom. It isn't far to Bethlehem Town, Just over the dusty roads adown, Past Wise Men's well, still offering Cool draughts from welcome wayside Past shepherds with their flutes of reed, They charm the woolly sheep they tead; Past boys with kites on hilltops flying And soon you're there where Bethle- bans' lung. Sunned white and sweet on olived slope. Gold-lighted still with Judah's hopes. And so we find the shepherds' field and go past herd in Baz wield. And look where Herod's villa stood. We thrill that earthly parenthood. And thrill that Bethlehem Town today Looks down on Christmas homes that pray. It isn't far to Bethlehem Town! It's anywhere we could down And find people's friendly face A welcome and abiding place. The road to Bethlehem runs right through The homes of folks like me and you. —Madelaine Sweeny Miller. This Slave's Son Earned 10 Million (Paul Jones in Phila. Record) Alexander Dumas became a soldier in order to take part in street lights, in 2010, fought in 20 duels, fought as many lawsuits, chartered ships and distributed pensions from his private purse. He danced, hunted, loved, fished, hypnotized, fought for 10 millions, and spent much more. Everything about this man is strange. His ancestry, for example, his father was a king of a French nobleman and the son of a French doctor. Doing the battle brought to France, and at the age of 24, in 1876, enlisted in the army Seven years later, he was a general of division. To Egypt with Bonaparte, and distinguished himself, until he was caught in a conspiracy to ruin the budding dictator. He was dismissed and sent home. Napoleon was killed in the battle, and he him. Afterwards, General Dumas recalled how young Bonaparte had embraced him in gratitude for some brilliant action, and sided with the French army and could have strangled him!" He died in 1806, when Alexander was 4. W.M. N. JONES --- Is The Customer Or Merchant To Blame? Most Baltimoreans who have been studying the recent policy a number of the large downtown stores to ban colored customers, have repeated excuse of the merchant that their preferred customers demanded the policy. It was even stated that an organization women waited on some of the women and told them that they more either ban the Negro trade or lose theirs. But it leaked out that another and more easily understood store be at the bottom of the new policy. It has been pointed out that certain business interests closely woven together in Baltimore is interested in the market certain lines of seconds bought at great reduction in the commercial centers and distributed to dealers in the city, and that much of goods on Pennsylvania avenue and the outlying districts is of this variety. In order to turn trade in this area and dispose of this stock of goods it was decided to discourage trade of colored people who "first are sold." Appeal, so goes the story, came first from the small merchants of Pennsylvania avenue and in the outlying districts of northwest Baltimore. Some even over the two-tween some big and little merchants of the Jewish organizations to consummate this procedure. In the meantime, hundreds of material they want and buy, are making trips to Philadelphia and New York to do their buying. Along with it, too, is the start movements among the group to supply their own wants. If Baltimore at this juncture just had one or two real business leaders with vision, force and courage, the foundation for one of the most prosperous colored communities in the world could be laid. American labor exploiters who "saw red" when Russia instituted the Soviets and when our working class was charged of the government, will probably have "cannibations" when they realize what is about to happen at our own back door in Mexico. For hundreds of years the German "peon," as he is appropriately called, has been the slave, not only of his own slave drivers, but of the more civilized Americans, but of the poorer ones down there where "labor was cheap." Although he tiled the soil from sun-u' until sunset, drew rich deposits in miners' and coalers' fields, he was allowed only enough for himself for miserable existence in the poorest kind of hovels. The rest of it went to swell the offers of coupon rates and the difference between a plough and a golf stick. Such a condition was bound to make brutes of human beings and the bloody history of that country has demonstrated the fact. Out of it all though has developed a Calles and the present labor president Emilio Portes Gil, whose party has proposed one of the most radical labor planks even seriously encouched in any modern governmental machinery. This legislation, which is almost sure to pass, is far more radical than anything the "Bolshevics" ever proposed, and if it succeeds, is bound to effect laborers in this country who can't stand to see the working classes of Mexico forging ahead of them. Take for instance the part of the plank which says that every able-bodied citizen in the country, no matter how rich, MUST WORK ONE MONTH AT LEAST SOME GAINFUL OCCUPATION. Think of it, that by law, men and women are made to work a certain part of each year at some paid Another radical plank proposes that all women, who are employed by any factory, plant or person, must be paid the regular wage, before they can begin a month after child birth. In other words, employers of women must provide for their salaries for four months during which they may have leave of absence to participate in natural function of child baring. Another radical proposal is that under a system of economic councils under a labor government, women will be allowed until the council has decided who is right, employer or employees. In addition wages for all concerns employing over twenty people will be adjusted every three months by the system of councils and this will be implemented upon the existing cost of living. There is also a workman's insurance fund, to which both workers and employers must contribute to provide them with the necessary incapacity. Any employee discharged for anything other than injuring a plant may collect by law three months' wages, the law says, and may be discharged for any worker to work more than six days out of a week, forbids any child under 12 years of age working in gainful occupation, compels employees to pay their wages, and works in the same pay and makes obligatory for all classes of workers an annual vacation with pay. If Mexico puts over this program, it accomplishes the task that the group has ever accomplished since the world began.

If they observed the daily newspapers closely they must have noticed that already. "illy white" has been picked out for Mr. Cohen's job in New Orleans. They might have also noticed that the Klan has asked, where do we form for our place in the inauguration parade? For fear some of them have overlooked these two items and will overlook more in the future it will be my great pleasure to keep up with the activities of the incoming administration through this column and regularly count the Abraham Lincoln Republicans as they are thrown out of the windo; I will also be glad to receive contributions for the purpose of having Perry Howard paroled. Royal's New Curtain The Royal Theatre in keeping with its policy of "nothing but the best for our patrons", has had installed a new curtain. The curtain came direct from New York, is brand new and is a work of art. It represents a street scene somewhere when the houses were first built. If I am not mistaken the architecture pronounces them of Dutch or Early English sign. In the picture lots as if it had just been occupied and in my mind to make it more realistic all that is necessary is to paint a sign in the window stating, "another house sold by Marse Callaway." Year's Football This year brought some startling set back out in the football world. Morgan College in particular comes to the fore as one of the leading institutions of football in the country. It was Morgan that defeated Lincoln and tied Howard; and the Howard tie seemed to be equal to a Howard defeat. However, there is an excuse for the Howard team. It appears that the team this year has been trained for fistic combat instead of football. In Baltimore in particular did the Harvard University boys perform. Whether they won that battle, of course, is another question but at any rate they started it. This is not the nicest thing that could happen, but once in a while the alley in some people can not be held down whether they represent Howard University or the City Jail. In the end, however, the situation will work out alright as I understand a committee of the University's faculty is investigating this demoralizing behavior and when they get to the root of the trouble will take the proper steps to see to it that there will not be a recurrence of this sort of th: g. An investigating committee is always interesting as it investigates and investigates until the public has forgotten the issue and then quietly forget, all about it and nothing is done. Before the investigating committee gets down to the place where it will forget the affair I would like to submit the complaint of one of the school boys who has a justifiable cause for a "squawk". The youngster ad a new racoon coat that it took him all the summer to, together. Unfortunately he was caught in the mildest of the terrific fistcuff and before it was all over the racoon coat was completely chewed off his back. He seems to think he should have some redress but is at a loss to know where to file a complaint. I suggested to him that he write the Ways and Means Committee of the investigating committee a letter and in it set forth his claim which he insists is just. Under those circumstances if the committee will have racoon coat replaced it can with pride and dignity dismiss itself and be sai'ed it has done its QUALITY QUALITY Only the purest and high grade ingredients, endorsed by pure food authorities, are used in making Ward's Bread and Ward's Cake.

Don't try to embarrass any person in the audience. Don't have the spotlight thrown on any person in audience. Don't address any remarks to persons in audience (use the plant). Don't come on stage with abbreviated costumes. Body must be covered in keeping with decency.

Inquiring Reporter THE QUESTION: What is your opinion of Roland Hayes attitude in appearing before jim crow audiences? THE ANSWER! Irving Hughes, director of the Royal Theatre Symphony Orchestra, stated "If Roland Hayes did not appear before jim crow audiences, he would never appear on the legitimate stage. I say the because an audience of lowers the art of music is composed of white people who at some point in their lives had a trace of prejudice in their blood. These white people do not wish us to be anywhere near on a par with them." Clarence Johnson, 122 Providence street, Roland Park, declared Hayes has been booked by the best booking agency in the country. He has unanticipated control over the theatre in which the management of the theatre is in charge. Scorn, should not be placed upon his head by our race must inasmuch as he is a professional and singing is his livelihood. He must sing before all types of crowds. Herbert Turner, 642 Mosher street. "If Roland Hayes did not sing before segregated audiences he would be unable to draw large crowds of race, race, defy his expulsion and give due compensation to his artistic genius." Isaac Dixon, 721 Dolphin street: "I believe Hayes is justified in not refusing to sing before segregated audiences. Those of our race can enjoy his voice in the gallery as well as in the orchestra seats. If he did not sing before these audiences he would not be able to disbar from the legitimate stage and had to rely on race music lovers. The whites are the ones who are supporting him." Sylvester Pulson. 1201 Madison avenue: "It is, I believe, perfectly right for Hayes to appear before jim crow audiences. He is justified as long as he is being paid the price requested. When he makes a contract he is contracting to sing—not to see how the races are seated in the audiences." Viola Manns, 1208 Madison avenue: "Roland Hayes is justified because, regardless of the segregated audience or not, our race would not be so diminished as to think they should have seats on the first floor. When Galli Curci appears here they are satisfied with the balcony; nor should they expect him to remedy a condition that has existed for 60 years. The race group would not support him were he unable to sing before white crowds, because he missed to sing to segregated audiences." John J. Miller. 501 Dohlin street: "It is a business proposition and he is justified in appearing before jim crow audiences, because jim crows before a wholly race group he is unable to draw a crowd large enough to pay his expenses." Mrs. Martha McFadden, 1126 Madison avenue: "I think that Hayes could help to remedy the segregation evil in i. Baltimore if h. would be able to segregate evidence. He is an attraction among the white race and they would grant that to have him perform. Should artists of his calibre show that they would be broken? racial segregation would be broken." OH!

He is a laborer with a fondness for pets and an aversion to injuring anything. Four weeks ago Darrow discovered a nest of mice in a chest at his home. He kept the mice. A small bottle with a nipple over it served as a substitute for the mother mouse. The little rodents are able to shift for themselves now but have become as tame as white mice and never leave the premises. They follow Darrow about the house. They eat solid food but are given the bottle when they run up their owner's pants legs, begging to be fed. One of the mice is being broken to a matchbox cart.

BERTA PERRY The BLUE JAYS "DEEP HARLEM" SCORES BIG HIT AT THE ROYAL THEATRE SINGING FEATURE OF POPULAR STAGE SHOW Elaborate Musical Extrava- ganza Scores At Royal Theatre UNCOVER NEW STAR Pearl McCormick Proves Very Pleasing Soubrette "DEEP HARLEM" (A musical Extravaganza) Book艺展 and Whitney discourses by Joe Jordan interpolated Numbers by Razaf and Johnson Take it from me, if you, are one who likes tuneful, haunting melodies, shaped, maidens, colorful eustoms, your own, your own, your own, your own, you should see "Deep Harlem", playing this week only at the Royal Theatre. If you, if you are a stickler for continuity, an abhorrer of the suggestive, or either a glutton for the burlesque — if in short you are one of those who never really satisfies adduce that you stay away from "Deep H.lem." Staged Unde- Difficult For those who do not know it, may be necessary here that the "Deep Harlem" now showing at the Royal is not the "Deep Harlem" you would see were you 15 visit New York during its run there. As staged here, Deep Harlem is played by a player. Playing three-a-day behind a moving picture program is no easy task for a show that is scheduled to run two and one-half hours. Therefore bits of the show are eliminated in the fit of time in the space of time allotted it. Stage effects at the Royal are not adequate for such a production, the house having been erupted for productions much less pretentious, these things in mind players can give consideration to the show Show Is Clean There were only a few old jokes tried in "Deep Harlem" and the show can certainly be commended on its cleanliness, the right of lesbians andisses on the stage will be revolting. "Deep Harlem" is entertainment — it is not a sermon, consequently the act is more serious. The show is seen rather low down in the scale of civilization, can be overlocked by the broadminded theatergoer. "Deep Harlem" is truly a musical show and its time bersers. "Deep Harlem" is "Princess Luhf" were caught up by the audience. Mr. Jordan is to be commended for his score and Whitney and Tutt deserve commendation for the interpolated numbers should go high praise. Hughes' Orchestra Scores Ivin Hughes' Royal Symphony Orchestra made a decided hit in the oil and played as overture two of Mr. Jordan's compositions. "Anytime and "Dreaming The Hours" The singing in "Deep Harlem" is of a high order — approaching the object, much credit being due to the vibrancy of the band and the male harmony. Again considering the limitations under which it is presented I say again, "Deep Harlem" is an entertainment, and many of the musicians you can练, and shapey madness, you can go wrong by going to see it. Md. Dental Society To Hold Clinics Dr. Frank Sykes, formerly of Baltimore, but now of Decatur, Ala., was a guest at the month's meeting of the Society of Social Residence of Dr. Robert J.

STAR "RECORD BREAKERS" Presenting a bill including both musical comedy and drama, Joe Bright and his tock company get a new theatre, over on Monument street. The company got off to a fast and snappy start with doing variety entertainment in the first half of a show but for the closing, presented a "tender presentation" section of New York. The bed-room scene enacted might be well omitted, as it is too suggestive and might even cause a howl if presented. The comedy for the show was furnished by Katie Jones, Leer Leonard and Billy McOwen. Miss Jones easily took the honors as being the greatest laugh-getter, her funny comedy and dancing. Jimmy Stevens was well received in his acrobatic dance sters, but would go over bigger if he did variety steps, instead of concentrating on the same act, much applaudie by the singing, of "Doggin' Me" a blues song, and was forced to give the customers some more.

STAGE REVIEWS "BROADWAY STEPPERS" The original comedy and fast dancing are the chief things the customers are receiving this week at the Lincoln Theatre where Tillie Johnson, the broadway steppeer, are holding forth. Comedy is furnished by "Bear" Hunter and "Bo weevil" Coleman. aided by "Boots" Hope, king of fast dancing. The comedy is furnished by Archie and Hawk and by a fast stepping quintet of chorines who include in their number Vernon Hogan, Jessie Mae Tanner, Bauilh Smith, Marian Haywood, and Miss Hogan stepped out of the chorus long enough to sing "Baltimore" and then led the prancers in a snappy exhibition of that monumental dance, which was part well and part as straight man and Tillie lent her voice and personality to a number of scenes, the best and most comical of these bits was the army bit, with Hope, Hunter and Coleman in the principal "Broadway Steppers" live up to their name even if the avenue must serve in the place of the great white way. Only eleven members are in the company, and the example of the type of goods that comes in small packages.

The strain of the overtime period was felt not only by the team but also by a victors Sam Cox and Washington brought over a large contingent and with both sides pleading for a victory, Sam Cox and Washington faced the cords after "Mike" Rhodes had fouled him. Givens added two points from the floor, giving the unaccountable Givens a win, trying hard to pull the fat out of the fire sank a doubleheader only to have the unaccountable Givens a win. In exactly 14 seconds the game was history. Visitors Have Larger Teams When the two teams were about to go down, the Community size a distinct advantage in five. Ailor was placed at center jumping against "Shim" Thom- nay lanky six-foot spores, with the local wards found themselves hedged by a healthy pair of guards, the lowjackets played basketball and wounded for any team on Friday night. A well organized five-man defense augmented by guards who can shoot were the accusers. The visitors were the first to score when "Sim" Thomas eased one through the net from Foul line, after being tackled. Yellows had a rusher and "Mike" Rhodes swished one through from the 15-foot court after being fouled by Lacey, as made good by a free throw scored from the floor "Soup" Turner tailed, and then successive goals by Lacey. Rhodes scored from the floor, followed by coded with the Scholastics leading, 12-11. Ailer Tursur Put Out Macleay, started the fireworks for the locals at the beginning of the second period by sinking a deuce. Allor was banned from the game, Thomas made good on the two free throws.

With the scored at 19-10, Referee Glison expelled "Soup" Turner from the game for unsportsmanlike behavior to a decision of the referee, had made an attempt to trip him. Both teams scored, making the count. Both teams scored on top.

COACH WEST REVIEWS HOWARD GRID SEASON WASHINGTON—Commenting on the football season just past Coach Peyton Manning, he to the Bison's 0-9 tie with Bluefield as their greatest achievement of the season, passing his satisfaction with the showing of the team, the Howard mentor continues: "Had Dad not lost the services of Browns, I would have lost the best blinging backs in football. I believe we would have won the National Championship. Howard was the player in which teams depend on play in which teams depend on weak, nanny, forward passing. Marshall." "Marshall is the finest forward passers. I have ever seen on any team and through continued development should show improvement even over his performances of the season," he added and abetted by receive, of the type of Simpson. Coles, Salle. Mack, Payne, and Captain Ross. Mack, Payne, and a captain by herself in this department of play. "On defense, and especially on defense in forward passes. Howard was the best in the pivots. Our great lack was only in plunging ability which weakness was occasioned by the injury of Dan Brown and Jack Ingram. We had an unfortunate backfield sailer and are undoubtedly two of the hardest plunging backs in colored football. Though out of the game their grip is short, their speed and they had much to do with the team's success. "Dan Brown's injury was especially regrettable to the coach, while Young missed the game. The inability to help the team through the rest of the season. Prospects Good For 1929 "Next year the team would be available, the coaches will have the nucleus of a winner. Howard's line with the experience of the past season, should have been larger and faster with a real punch. The coaches can confine their efforts to the fine points of the game and polishing off of a flawless machine." "As I look back over the season I cannot help but refer to the wonderful sportmanship of the coach, Harry Jefferson the team, and fans of the team. And the fans are the pleasant and the hardest combat of Howard's season." Pauline Jackson Gives Exhibition In New Jersey PLAINFIELD, N. J.-Pauline Jackson.

Va. — The Bluefield Institute Big Blue team lung up their togs for the 1928 season, when the proposed game with Wiley College fell through. The powerful West Virginia machine has not been defeated for two straight years, and have this year won the national championship. Bluefield's record for the 1928 season is as follows: Bluefield, 31; Virginia Union, 7. Bluefield, 11; Wilberforce, 0. Bluefield, 26; Morgan, 6. Bluefield, 18; West Virginia, 0.

Set Scoring Record Bluefield set the season's record in the number of points scored in a single game, when they ran up a score of 129 points on Morrison's back. The game being played by the second team. In the season just finished, the Big Blue team made a total of 129 points, the biggest accomplishment, how ver, was in the defensive play of the Bluefield team. Only: twelve points were scored against them in the scoring eleven of the country, WIberforce, West Virginia and Howard, were held scoreless. Wiggins High Man Joseph Wiggins, stellar halfback, led the Big Blue team. The following men won their letter for the past season, and will be awarded a prize at the hainquet, December 14: Murra Jeffries, Earle Cunningham1m Robert Scott, Carroll Thompson, Joseph Wiggins, stellar Trittle Woods, Theodore Gallion, Lawrence Drew, George Scott, Robert Foulkes, Artis Graves, Fred Burford, Joseph Wiggins, Oscar Clarke, George Sandidge, Lawrence Ray Cain, Reid Adon, A.

Fred Predi will be the first who to wonderfully filled the shoes of Herbert Cain, and Oscar Clarke, who is considered by Coach Jefferson as the best defensive halfback will be members of the first class to receive degrees from Bluefield University, and ranking students of the class. Buford is rated as the best all-around athlete ever developed in the State of Kentucky, and felt on all the teams, wearing the Blue. The spectacular playing of Lawrence Ray and George Sandridge seems to give promise of an even better back in the line-up. Ray and Sandridge are of the type that might break away from the with splendid interference of the Bluefield forward wall, they should go great next year. MORE C. I. A. A. (CONTINUED .

Has Far Reaching Effects E. B. Henderson Believes Healing Breach Will Mean Much To Bisons And Will Strengthen Athletics In East (Head of the Department C. Phys. Educ, Sr. & Jr. H. S., Wash. D. C.) One of the best happenings for the advancement of our group is the reentrance of Howard in the C. I. A. Years ago, Michigan and the Western Conference parted ways. Years later, the University and the Western Conference is second to no athletic association in the United States. It will be easier resources to discussion and arbitration, as means of adjusting differences, than the grandish method of quitting. Right now the problem of the status of Junior College is that it is not in Senior Colleges faces all of the big competing units. There is hardly a single disposition of these colleges. Some Early Remain We felt sure that if ever men of the sanity of E. P. Davis and C. H. Williams could into frank free discussion, a way to close the breach would be found. It is to be wished now, that putting together of the athletic heads will result in eliminating a few of the outstanding weaknesses in the organization of athletics among the teams on the borders of the C. I. A. A. Almost any kind of a game between a seasoned man and a preadolescent boy, or a man of one year's training and a man of ten years' experience gives the older, seasoned player the advantage. College varsity competition must get rid of the varsity "er of six, eight or ten years' varsity playing. The non-transfer rule, the one year residence rule, the "irce-year playing rule on varsity teams must come. It is better to set a time limit to the educationally and athletically condemned practices some of our schools exercise. I don't mean that this should mean the sudden extinction of playing possibilities of the teams that have made the C. I. A. A. and other conferences possible. Praise For Coaches The C. I. A. A. has performed a unique thing in racial enterprise. To have held together and advanced when two of her students was reimbursable, it has developed a splendid schedule making program. It has encouraged and aided in the development of race aristocracy and has thought impossible twenty years ago. There is not a single mucker type coach in its organization. Even some old players whose names are of ideal health or character, have become most conscientious of educational tutors. Most of the coaches have faculty connections, not only with the ideal of health or character, but not producing a winning team is for the most part ancient tradition. Day of "Old Grad" Past There are yet many problems for students in a trial at solving, for it is too rosy a dream to suppose that the athletic men can sufficiently change human nature to arrive at the million preset goals in their athletic. However the organization serves well to make the "old rad" who does not realize it, know that his day and this day has been objective objectives of athletic sports. The boys are being taught to play a friendly game, not to fight; to win, but not at a cost of honor or of good sportsmanship. Of course if the "old grad" was cessfully the oppose's officials who call them, take them, and to cause the loss of a job for a coach because he does not produce a winning azeregation regardless of whether he has made the best of his efforts, then we will not offer an non-ethical official, and the old time coach of the "old grad" day. It is amusing to hear year after year the sideline interpretation of the current year's minor leagues who study in season and out are not too sure of their interpretations. Well football belongs to the college body, but it is all right that it be a spectacle but not at a sacrifice of health or character for the victory. We forecast By the heading of the breach we are due to witness a tremendous growth in athletics along all lines. Lacrosse, soccer, hockey, football for increased activity. This will serve to open up some new inter-racial contacts which are becoming more and more necessary; if we are to break down segregation in so many other fields. Think of Gourdin, Hubbard and Cator being world champions. Think of West in the pentathlon. Trigg on the crew, Wormley in lacrosse, Drew, Hubbard in the six and seven-meter matches of others matching their skill and muscle-brains against the best the other group affords. We could recall much more about the prefer to see in the future doings in the future the much greater doings than in the past. This new athlete and the new sector of the U.S. means much. Howard-Lincoln Game A Sofa Then too, he turned between Howard and Lincoln has turned into an exhibition contest with the emphasis paid on coats, has become a part of the game. It has become similar to our big time city Drill A splendid show event. Everybody seems to care, who drills and how. Except for an occasional craning of necks when some Howard or Lincoln super-men play, the interest of most people seems toward each other. This has largely been caused by the fact that most of the games between Howard and Lincoln are on one side of the stadium will be the cheering Howard's clones, on the other side a handful of local players who want to support the from-far-away visitors. We can expect all of that to change now. Mark what I say you will hardly know which side is a Howard side by numbers when Hampton plays on the other side. The longer the little unknown school from down below as they might have been years ago. It is true Shaw is not what she was, but the change will help her. Petersburg has been and is the team to be feared every session. Consider Coles, Dan Den and Captain Crawford of Petersburg from Petersburg. Then there is St. Paul, as an game outfit for the size of the school as you would wish. Brownley, Hulcs, and a wealth of In To C. I. A. A.

J. — Plans for the second annual amateur basketball tournament of New Jersey, which is conducted by the Bordenfown Manual Training School, have been announced by L. B. Granger. Last year's tournament included fourteen leading senior and junior players of the state, but interest already shown this year indicated a big increase in the entry list. To avoid taxing the school's gymnasium facilities, I is planned to divide the state into four districts, or zones: the Atlantic City, the Camden, the Trenton and the Newark district. Early rounds of the competition will determine district champions. Then Atlantic City and Camden, and Newark and Trenton will play off to decide a South Jersey and a North Jersey champion in the junior tournament. Finally the championships will play at Bordentown for the State title. The Montclair *Y. M. C. A.* branch. will accommodate games in the Newark district, the Camden district, the Atlantic avenue *Y.

Second Bunion Race To Begin March 31 NEW YORK—C. C. Pyle has announced that his second transaction will be for the city March 31, 1929 and end on the Pacific Coast, just the opposite of what it was last year. Pyle says that there will be $60,000 in revenue from this city. The total prize money for the second race will exceed the first prize money by $1,200. The winner and runner-up will each receive $1,000. The third place will receive $6,000; fourth, $3,500; fifth, $2,500; sixth, $2,225; seventh place, $2,000; eighth place, $1,750; ninth place, $1,500; tenth place, $1,250; and five additional amounts ranging from $1,000 to $700. On account of this increase in prize money and the expense connected with organizing and directing the event, Pyle has decided to charge an entry fee of $100 for his own meals, lodging and all other expenses during the training period previous to the start of the race and during the race.

HORNETS Pile Up 28-0 Score On Montgomery Eleven In Season's Final Game ATLANTA. Ga.—A big strong eleven, playing on its own field, pounced upon the formidable Alabama Hornet team here Saturday in Atlanta and put the Montgomery team to rout before a spectacular onslaught, 28-0. The play of Clark's "Thousand Backs" was sensational and only the play of Elmer Baker, Squat Johnson and Jimmy DuPree measured a big higher than that of the other balloters. Baker pulled the three most sensational plays of the day one time he passed 50 yards to Johnson. He also booted a 45-yard drop-kick squarely between the uprights and topped off the afternoon's work with a fifty-yard touchdown run after receiving Bama Starts Fast Alabama started the affair by outrushing the Taylorites and also by keeping the bail deep in the Clark County jail. The team seemed to catch the spark at the outset of the second period and in short order crossed the Alabama line two yards to Johnson for the first, tally and 33 yards to Wadley for the second. The running and generalshift of Wadley was the first half ended with Clark Jealous, 13-0. In the second half Coach Taylor turned loose: Shine. Cokey Dukes, Jimmy Du Pree. Squat Johnson. Hal Williams.

"I've been trying for many years to play the ball. It's precisely the same as in the golf swing. You know the professionals are always advising the 'Slow-back.'" The dub golfer starts hitting before the club has reached the top of the swing, kicking the inaccurate kick from placement. Atlanta Held on 10-Yd. Line An Atlanta University player received the ball before bore down upon him and he fumbled. Fortune favored him for he recovered the ball and made a slight advance before being downed. Both teams played careful and cautious outballs during the game, first down. Atlanta University seemed certain of a touchdown when McPherson scooped up a fumble and carried the ball 65 yards before he was down on en-ward. He ran with the speed of the Dixie Fliver to keep the fleeing McPherson from crossing the last marker. The Atlanta team tested the Tuskegee line and found it immovable, so after four tries the team lost to few skirmishes the quarter ended. In the second quarter the Hurricane found it useless to try to crumble the Tuskegee front wall. Atlanta team resorted to the air, with several successful attempts. LaVere Smith of Tuskegee brought the fans to their feet when he made a beautiful return of a Hurricane punt, before being downed. Tigers First To Score Immense first to score the third quarter both teams began playing terrifically. Shanklin received the punt and brought the ball back to the field and Shanklin carried the ball twice, each time for a rain. then Steven-sen. The Tigers carried the ball to point Steven-sen.

The Wiley management wired me inviting us to play, and we accepted the invitation. "Railroad fare round trip Bluefield to Marshall; the chartering of a special twelve-section pullman both ways; meals in the dining car both ways; entertainment while in Marshall; the cost of the dollars to cover incidental expenses of our team while traveling. TERMS Too Steep "Upon hearing Wiley wired us that they felt our terms were too steep, and offered to come to Bluefield for less than we could come to Marshall. Due to the fact that we are now in the grip of winter, we do not feel that we could successfully stage this game. We did of this fact and also stated that we could not come to Wiley for less. "Upon inquiry from a Chicago paper and the Baltimore AFRO-AMERICAN, we advised them that arrangements had not been com-pleted. We asked their wire for the playing of this game. You can answer better than I why this game was reported as going to be played without definite plans. We asked Bluedefield management is very sorry thLat it appeared in your columns that the game was going to be played on the proposed date."

J. Faggen, white, the daring charge d'iff:ies of the Savoy ballroom in this city, is determined to stick to his notion of getting American League recognition for his Savoy Big Five which, he declares, is a basketball team with a real future in front of him. Faggen thinks his team is good enough to represent Chicago in the American League. In the American League, "colored" protests the ballroom owners. "The big point is that Chicago, as the second city of the nation, needs to be represented by a good basketball team," he says. "The program was started. All the other teams of the league come to Chicago to take a rest. The daily newspapers try to build one team, and the next week's sport after each game is the same — the Bruins tried hard, but they lost. If they just lost one or two games it would not be so bad. But the one being lost ever since they starred. "It's now time to make some sort of a change. My Savoy Big Five played the evenings and held the Bruins to a 25-21 score. Last Monday night we met them and beat them. 29-21. I want you to know that that team has 61 wins. Bruins every day in the week and if we haven't got absolutely the best team in Chicago, somebody can make me go ragged. The best team Chicago can get is not matter what color the players are." The Savoy manager was informed that the famed Renaissance team of New York had beaten the Celtics occasionally, but he was not, because they were regarded as necessary courtesies between two teams with a large follow-up. But he wouldn't listen to any such comment about Savoy's victories. He believes his team can beat the Rens and says that he will done all he could to help Harlem combine the east, west, but de-make them keep out of reach by making eggplant demands. The Savoy main line of defense is composed of Rock Anderson and Joe Lillard as center; and Specs Molen, and Jackson, at guard. THE PASSING REVIEW WE WERE SURPRISED, to say the least, when we read the attack on Referee L. U. Gibson printed in the columns of the Philadelphia TRIPUNE last week Coming as it did from an anonymous writer, termed by Randy Dixon as a notable, the attack on the local official reached its culmination. I have seen almost every game between Lincoln and Howard at which Mr. Gibson has officiated. He has been unfair in one of them, but his decisions on last Thanksgiving Day settles matters. If the Lincoln management permits him to referee another game they are a bunch of chumps, if not worse. Excusing the grammatical errors, he wrote, the writer, whose identity we have not within their bounds. His contention is that Lincoln was robbed by two of Referee Gibson's decisions in particular. Of this, the unseen attack says: "The play was on Lincoln's twenty yard line. Howard's ball. It is a forward pass. The ball is low. The receiver for Howard stoops to catch it. A Lincoln player in attempting to intercept the play touches the receiver, knocking the ball to the ground. The ball was almost touching the field before either player touched it. Mr. Gibson gave Howard a first down on either yard line. Aside from the fact, the actual onference line that the players could have caught, it is questionable whether the receiver of the pass could have caught, the ball due to its position. Then to cap the climax (Howard's ball as a result of the referee's decision) with the ball seven inches from the goal line after scrimmage. Mr. Gibson did the angle, not twenty yards from the play, stated that the ball did not cross the goal line but when the play ended it was from 7 to 12 inches from the goal line. And with only a slight protest the Lincoln players continued to play. Gentlemen, Let me say to the person who was too cowardly and yellow to sign his name to the above, that mouthings of that sort have no effect in moving school representatives to action. Had he signed his name and presented the ball to the goal line, there is objection Gibson would have been more in order. But to the subject. In an attempt to give an unbiased judgement in this matter let me say that I do not believe it possible for "fifty people standing at right angles, not twenty yards from the play" to SEE BETTER THAN THE REFEREE just what is happening in a play in which the players pile up. It is hard enough to see when he has his head stuck down during the players, so that it hardly seems plausible that he is standing 60 feet away, and at RIGHT ANGLES could be better judges of the play than one referee count. Imagine judging a distance of seven inches standing 60 feet away. Name any game in which everybody agrees with every decision of the game. It is only natural that there will be objections and it is only natural that in the course of his duties the referee will make some mistakes. Name one who doesnt. It is because of the blased judgment of the referee. It is necessary for a game, otherwise he would let the public be the judge. We are not taking up the cudgel for Referee Gibson, nor for anyone else. What we are making is an attempt to make a jubilee. We make an attempt to make the same game, when Harry Payne made his sensational run just as the first half ended. Most of the spectators and some of the writers in the press box thought that he had crossed the goal line, when as a matter of fact he was TWO YARDS from the goal line when he was We disagree with Referee Gibson's attacker on the further usefulness of Referee Gibson, so much so that we wager that if Howard and Lincoln meet don't know, the subject of this discussion and the conduct of this column are in no way related. We hope the winger will feel so ashamed of himself that he takes his identity known. He will do himself justice by doing so. Nothing is detested as a snake in the grass. And cowards nauseate me. A GLANCE BACK upon the football season just come to a close reveal the past season was one of the most inectic in the history of the sport. Look at the windup in the south, for instance, Tuskegee defeated Atlanta, conqueror of Clark, and Clark had previously defeated Montgomery, the Montgomery elephant. Tuskegee, after having dropped a game to Morehouse. Morris Brown comes along to tie Atlanta and Howard. In its invasion of the South, chancellor lost to West Virginia, conquered by the Blues. Wibertforce was unable to beat West Virginia, and lost to Bluefield on a fumble. In the same manner Hampton lost to Virginia, Bluefield and Wiley then, are seen in the countryside, a skunk walked up against them. It is unfortunate that the proposed post-season meeting between these two schools had to be postponed. Some day, however, it may be possible to arrange schedules in such a manner so that when the end of the season rolls around it will not be such a hard matter to decide who's who. A POLITE OBJECTION is made to Johnson C. Smith's claim to the football title of the North Carolina Athletic Union by Livingstone College. A communication from the Salisbury school informs me that the two teams are TIED for the state title, both having won two association games, and having lost one game each. The teams were supposed to play in the state, but the fact that the Smith team had disbanded not play. That's that. But if memory serves us right, Smith beat Livingstone 19-6 Thanksgiving Day. How come, Livingstone. THE ROLLING BALL PLAY, of Morris Brown comes in the lime-light again, this time in the game with Atlanta in which the Wolverines play. From what we can learn of the play, said to have first been used by Morris Brown as early as 1923, a player rolls the ball in line as a "tumble" and a Morris Brown rolls the ball for such an emergence, the falls on a ball with a touchdown. It is said that the play catches sleeping officials early. And to this the southern athletic world must murmur, My, my, my! THEY CALL IT the "big school", when they speak of Douglas High School, but in athletic policy it really is one of the smallest schools in the county. With a large male student body Douglass is far behind the times in athletics compared with some of the smaller schools in Virginia and North Carolina, to say nothing of the high schools in Washington. A short sighted policy that has subordinated a healthy athletics program for one in which the memorizing of statistics is considered the same of perfection has hampered Douglass more than people can realize. Last week when the representatives of the various high schools belonging to the Inter-State High School Athletic Conference met in Richmond had no representation. mond, the *toll* athletic team was organized only after a persistent fight. Last year the *Ducks* had no basketball team and the prospects this year point to a similar situation. Something is fundamentally wrong at Douglass, and this it does not take an efficiency expert to see. energy denied in athletic competition were produced in scholastic attainment it might be somewhat compensatory for its stunted athletic program. But this is not the case. No great amount of scholastic brilliance is the lot of Douglass because of the team. present's school, as large as Douglass it is necessary that more than one man be able to devote time to the training and development of athletes. We know it to be a fact that the Douglass High School team played games this past season and some of the teachers at Douglass did not know about it until the game was over. Coach Gibson had no assistance in practice. Single handed he did the best he Douglass should have a good basketball team this year and should have competition with schools outside of the city that will do the school as well as the participants lasting long. A big school should be made up of smaller schools—especially when the program at Douglass High School, a balanced program that will cater to the physical as well as the mental appetites of its numerous students. Athletic leadership from the college-level Douglass High School is a mark of achievement. Until that leadership is secured Douglass High School is an age in an which the spirit of everything will be preserved. We feel that Coach Gibson has enough burdens now. Douglass continue to blunder thru another farcal athletic year? Let's hope not. THERE'S STILL HOPE for organized baseball in the East judging from a communication received this week from Edward, the Bolden, of Clan Darle. ED SEZ: After a careful survey of conditions existing last season the Hilder Director's recommend the reorganization of the Eastern Colored League or an Association for the mutual protection of the owners and in view to create closer harmony. "A meeting will be held in Philadelphia early in January to promote the lessee's paramount to their future success." Go it. Ed, say we, as it's just this sort of thing that has kept our faith alive in organized baseball. As we frequently remark thru these pillars the movement for a league has our unstinted support. And by the way Ed, be sure to tell us when and we'll be right there in Philly too. Boys, you'll have to start those basketball games on time. Imagine a game ending at 12:15. START ON TIME. We understand the girls are going to have some hot basketball teams this season. More power to the ladies, God bless 'em. And Christmas is only ten days off. Now have you all been good?

W. W. Allen, had made false representations in a stock sale transaction, George Lee, P. O. emanuel, of 14 Brune street, instituted a suit for $2,500 against him in Superior Court. In the suit filed Mr. Lee charges the defendant, Rev. Dr. W. W. Allen, on or about the 18th day of January, 1928, with representing to him that the Lincoln Park Company was at the door of thirty and one-half acres of land which was valued at one-half million dollars and that said land was unencumbered and that he, Dr. Allen, had invested large sums with the company and expected a return at least twenty percent on dollar. The bill alleges that Dr. Allen told Mr. Lee the proposition had been endorsed by the Colored Baptist Ministers' Conference and because of the above facts Mr. Lee was induced to invest his life savings of fifteen hundred dollars in the Lincoln Park Cemetery Company. That he had further to state that he having invested his fifteen hundred dollars his life's savings. Mr. Lee investigated the affairs of the company and found out that Rev. Dr. W. W. Allen had made false representations to him, and knew them to be false and made these representations in order that he might make a commission from Mr. Lee's investment. According to the bill, after Mr. Lee had invested his money he found out among other things that Dr. Alen, had never invested any money with the Lincoln Park Cemetery Company, but had collected a commission from the money that he had invested with the company and the Lincoln Park Cemetery Company has never operated since he invested his money?

It said: Philadelphia Tribune Praises National Benefi: "The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Washington, D.C., is celebrating its Thirtieth Birthday. It was founded in 1898 by Samuel W. Rutherford with a Five Dollar Bill. At that time the chief asset of the company was the vision, courage and faith of its founder. The dav it still has the vision and guiding hand of the man who has turned the Five Dollar Bill into assets of more than Five Million ($5,000,000,000). There are more than Seventy-five Million ($75,000,000) Dollars worth of business in force. That is a record of which all Negroes should be proud.

With discrimination rampant against Negroes in most white insurance companies, it seems as though common sense would dictate that Negroes should make their companies more powerful. "THE PHILADELPHIA TRIBUNE congratulate the National Benefit and its founder. The branch in Philadelphia has taken on new life. And we are mighty glad that this "safe" insurance company has decided to capture some of the business in the largest Negro city in the world. Let us all help to make the Philadelphia branch the best." Throughout the country there has been a wide spread recognition of the tremendous advance of this outstanding business organization of the race, and appreciation of the record it has made during the last 30 years. With presense of discriminators on the part of many white insurance companies, the time seems opportune for building one great National Negro Life Insurance Company, such as the NATIONAL BENEFIT is now, into an even greater and more powerful institution.

HAIR PREPARATION ADS IN 2ND PLACE Medicine Ad Space Now Larger Says D. Arnett Murphy At Meeting GIVES STATISTICS Ad And Circulation Men On That patent medicines had superceded hair preparations in the ad columns of the AFRO, was among statistical facts given by D. Arnett Murphy at the regular meeting of the AFRO Club, staff of Mr. Murphy, who heads the advertising department, pointed out that while hair preparations had held first place in the past, the ascendency of other types of advertising was the result of widening of the field. He gave statistics of types of ad hair preparations to autos. The task of explaining how the small buying power of the race effects us was undertaken by Henry E. Arnold, of the advertising department. "Trade is not rejected at the downtown department stores because of our race," stated the speaker, "but because the buying power of the superior to ours that these businesses concentrate on these patrons. "It is true that members of the other race do not want Negroes trading at the same counters and trying on the same garments that they might buy, but if we spent the amount of money with these firms as they do, our patronage would be welcome." The principle also holds true where white music dealers and other business concerns are approached with the view of having them buy advertising space.

OFFICE Answers AFRO'S Query As To Why It Segregates Race Policyholders Is or isn't the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company opening jim-crow offices for Negro policy holders? The Baltimore office manager says the office in the Commonwealth bank is for Negroes only. A query derived to the president of the company was answered by Arthur W. Tretheway as follows: "It is quite apparent that you have been misinformed as to our reason for creating a new district in the city of Baltimore. Our business, as you can doubtedly appreciate is rapidly expanding, and we are compelled, from time to time, to create new offices in order that we may give better service to our policyholders. "This Company has no desire to proscribe against any of its policyholders, irrespective of race, color or creed. We have not discontinued writing insurance on colored lives. There has been no segregation of a business by policyholders as well as colored are paying their premiums at the new office. "A policy holder may pay his or her premiums at any of our offices. We are compelled, however, for purposes of record to handle a great amount of business by policyholders. If a office gets too large it becomes unwieldy, and we are not in a position to render the service that is our purpose to give. "If it is not convenient for some of our policyholders to pay their premiums at our new office, we are sent to that address by mail; or, we will be pleased to have an Agent call on them at their request."

"A number of factors have influenced the development of the pharmacy into a modern drug store," writes Dr. Clendeningen in the current Issue. The American Drug-institute, the most important undoubtedly was the long hours which the druggist was under obligation to keep. All the other stores shut at say 6 o'clock, but he had to keep open because people might need medicine at any hour. "As the druggist was open when people were closed, people got the habit of dropping in at all hours to ask for this article and that—especially stamps. What was more natural or inevitable than that the store should gradually put in a supply of the aerosol to stationery to stationery and to pens and pencils, and so on. In the meantime other departments in the store were developing until now you have Two distinct Memorial Services were held by the local order of Elks Sunday evening when Monumental Lodge No. 3 and Great Southern Temple No. 23 held audiences at the Regent Theatre; while other threements were U. of. Royal Theatre where Pride of Baltimore Lodge No. 713 and F. E. W. Harper Temple No. 429 took charge of the program. Atty. J. Thomas Newsome, prominent attorney-at-law of Newport News, Va. was the principal speaker for the forme: two lodges for the Regent Theatre, while Dr. J. H. Hill burn, Exalted ruler of Pride of Baltimore Lodge spoke in the steed bridge and ward, Henry of Ph'-delphin who was detained by a previous engagement in Virginia. Bay Tribute To Departed Tribute was paid to the departed brothers at both services. At the Regent Theatre the elks' Choir rendered several selections, while at the Royal Theatre Irving Hughes and his Royal Symphonic Orchestra and Bugler Harry Carpenter rendered taps and symphonies that were very ingenuous. Throughout the two services eulogies, odes and memorial orations were snorken, showing to the outside world the true spirit in which Elkdom had demanded the departed brothers and sisters to walk and what ideals and aims that the living members of the antler organization had before them Tells Of Elks' Aim "Our departed brother : belonged to a craft that is in fraternal manifestations and work. unique among the great societies of the present day." declared Atty. J. Thomas Newsome in his address at the Regent Theatre. "To be a brave Eik is penetrate the outward crisis which enclose his writings and emotions to some degree all men possess. It takes no note of trifles." The speaker remarked that Elkdom's ideals were without suspicion and its trust in a brother was marked by believing all things and hoping all things to all and might get down in malice. Dr. J. H. Hilburn, speaking at the Royal Theatre, told his audience how the Elks the world over are vont to pay their respects to their absent brothers the second time in their lives. The conversation, he said, was only an outward expression of an inward feeling of a true Elk. Elkdom Means Justice "Elkdom preaches j'ee, not justice of the world, the technical justice which demands a pound of flesh. a modern drug store which is an ideal place for Christmas shopping. Conveniences, accessibility and service have been the dominant in the popularity of the modern drug store, particularly at the holiday season. Mr. Roy Goldheim, advertising manager of the 29 Read Drug Stores in Baltimore and seven other Maryland cities, states "that more people every year are doing their Christmas shopping in the handy way that the quick service, vast assortments of nationally famous merchandise and its low prices due to cash buying and selling. For women the choice seems to be toilet sets and electrical appliances; for men, cigars and shaving needs; and, of course, everybody buys toys.

LOUISE REID The Junior League Clubs are all composed of young people usually in High and Training School. I am personally interested in their affairs, because young people will go to dances! They heed not the type or class. Therefore, it was decided that since this energy could not be ignored, it could be directed in the proper channels. They were encouraged to give their own affairs, to depend on their own crowd, which, has resulted in as five or more hundred girls all gone one another. Such things as fights, bootleggers, etc, are unknown quantities at their affairs. The older people such as parents and other relatives are) are welcomed. They have a chance of seeing how their boy or girl deports himself or herself in public or on the street, by various clubs to keep them reasonably supplied with entertainment. They are all well chaperoned and most always successful. With the proceeds they plan for "free" affairs, more or less formal and equip themselves, promote them and other paraphernalia. At least we know where the majority of Baltimore's young people are on Friday nights and holidays. We do not encourage the use of any other night, although twice, two nights and Monday-night, because the visiting orchestra was unable to keep an engagement for any other night. Many people have questioned the aim and purpose of the Junior League of Clubs, since the final year was decided either from between clubs. The only real aim and girls and to circulate a desire and a vital one, is to promote friendship among the younger set of boys for higher ideals in their social contact. We keep them together we can succeed, but if allowed to run loose into every dance hall, any night in the week. it is hard to find them or protect them. SOCIAL CALENDAR S. s. A. DECEMBER 20th. S. s.

Miss Hyla Thomas Entertains The Pierette Club—The Misses Hill Hostesses At Bridge At Penn Hotel—The Sophomore-Freshman Reception—The Baltimore Club of Lincoln University To Give Yuletide Prom On Dec. 27th at Elks Hall. Dear亲友, Increase, really the bustle and scurry around here for the past week gives very little time for social events, as the Yuletide spirit makes up for the lack of it. And to wonder—just the other day while in the shopping district, who should I see but Sheldon Hoskins and his beginners class at his studio of classic dancing marching along in double file to the store. Sheldon Hoskins at the department stores. So eager and excited were the children to be on their way that I found it impossible to be them a minute. So, Panyk, like inquisition, in each store in each store had made preparations for their visit and the toys were at their display. They were loved to stay as long as they wished with care could be. I only followed them with them and in turn, gave each interval a gift of some sort. Those in the group were, Anna Mitchell, Bainbridge and Anna Mitchell, Fish Closurey Rogers, Calhoun and Ceel and Arthur Johnsen. Departing from these folks, I took a round of the schools and don't you know a nobody to time to even notice I had missed. So many were they preparing for their Vultee. Seeing that I was not wanted, I hurried out in the open open again only, and drew the New York City board, and all the gods, there was the board of managers, making plans for a Christmas tree to be placed in the children's ward. So one more one in the entrance hall of the hospital.

Yet, though you can mention It, you cannot love party last Saturday and the Hills' affair at Penn Hotel THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1928 and a number of other interesting events that have taken place.

Really if we didn't have to observe the conventional rules of etiquette I would venture to mention the card game, for it was not only long and enjoyable, but so beautifully gotten up. However, to the prize winners and prizes, Roberta Holmes stood for the first card game, the card game, and perfume. Daisy Coleman received the second club prize, which was a lovely set of penalties for keeping score. For the first guest prize, Mia Redden stood for the first attractive cut flower holders, Josie Goodrich was a close second and was presented the second guest prize.

Too just the members of the two classes and the faculty were the only ones that could receive a bid. Robert Frances Williams, J. Spencer and M. Mac Millan, Sweetest, the most beautiful, the most lovely Margaret Jones, from here, were claimed the most beautiful girls at the function.

Pool Attendance Is Highest In 1928 A survey of the city swimming pools made by the Board of Park Commissioners shows that the Drudid Hill Park pool had its highest attendance in 1928, with at total of 32,982 and an average daily attendance of 423. Previous to this year, the first year of the pool was its highest when 31,702 persons used the pool. The average daily receipts were $63.33 and the total receipts for the summer were $1,649.10. The lowest attendance for the pool is whole was in 1927, but for the colored pool the attendance was lowest in 1922, the year following its opening when 20,907 persons used the pool. The average daily cost has climbed from $6.82 in 1923 to $21.48 in 1928, while at the same time the average daily receipts has climbed from $19.76 in $33.33 in 1928.
