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.

SEGREGATION FIGHT Segregation Bill Passes DETROIT, Mich. (ANP) — The fire of this city has been aroused by the fighting point over trouble that has brewing for years, relative to where the Negro shall or shall not live. This controversy which has been carried on ever since suited in the damaging of property the famous sweetest house by the goodhoods every time a coloured family moved into a "white neighborhood." The wrath of "fighting Bob Bradly", the movie's spirit of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. F., was kindled by a friend of his, Judge Hedge in the case of Mrs. Isobelle Johnson that she could own the home which she had recently purchased on the Sik Mile Road here, but could not live in it. Bradly called a mass murder. She reviled and plans of battle were formulated. A committee consisting of C. Henri Lewis, Francis M. Dent, W. Hayes McKenny, and Mahoney was appointed counsel. They decided that a transcript of the case in point was necessary before it could be decided whether or not the case should be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. The court, the U. S. Supreme Court. Churches are leading in raising funds. Department Store Segregates DETROIT, Mich. (ANP) — Segregation is finding its way into big business here. The J. L. Hudson Company, Detroit's largest department, is the best to employ discriminating tactics.

On the day the order was issued all colored employees went out to lunch rather than be Jim Crowed in this move by colored heads of the various departments. It was further ordered that the colored maids, elevator girls, and other female employees could occupy same rest rooms with other girls, but all must go to the fourth basement.

The answer points that no Negro in America holds a Commercial Pilot's license is nothing in the regulations which will prohibit him from holding one if he is so qualified.

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.

Our churches are honeycombed with corruption and full of rum and wine suckers and underground workers.

"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.

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.

After a group of German songs, Mrs. McAbee sang Quilter's "It Was A Lover and His Lass," and followed this with "There's Not A Swain On The Plain," which brought forth tremolos. "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. Many a difficult passages which would bother the average pianist was executed with the utmost ease and precision. But she was very preserved and non-ostentatious. As for the Male Glee.

Their last song "Sextette from Lucia" produced an organization functioning properly : all of its tone qualities which was relief indeed meet the audience to the audience that the club has the material. The task is up to Director William H. Hackett. CRIME NEWS AIRED AT "Y" FORUM CRIME NEWS AIRED AT "Y" FORUM "Does the featuring of crime in newspapers serve as a deterrent or encouragement?" was discussed at the KY" Forum, Sunday. 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. Next Sunday the service will be in branch, a musical and literary program by the young ladies being the feature. MOHAMMET NOT JESUS RULES CONGO MOHAMMET NOT JESUS RULES CONGO NEW YORK.—The great issue in the Congo of Africa is Mohammedanism, not Christianity, declared Charles Williams, an author of *Women with the Rev.

A. to the Jubilee conference, held at Kinskahe, Belgium, Congo, from September 16th to 24th. The two delegates gave impressions of their visit at a missionary mass meeting held at St. James Presbyterian Church, Wednesday evening of last week. Mr. Williams says there is much exploitation and little education in the Congo and as a result the country is being destroyed. With a more hopeful outlook the Rev. Mr. Holley declared he found an opportunity to operate by Negroes. He told especially of the grace and charm of the African women which he said is excelled now in the world.

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. Walker Manufacturing Company. The company, which will be building $1,500,000, more than one million dollars having already been put into it, Mr. Bailey states. This temple is situated in the car of a thickly settled cottage. It contains nine stories and rises impressively above all the buildings roundabout. It is constructed of rough buff pressed brick with terra cotta trimmings and a dazzling golden spectacle, striking in its contrast to the nondescript structures which surround it in frontage on State street is 132 feet and from front to rear it runs 120 Gets Surprise "Good cooking" is Mr. Brown's speciality. And there is art in cooking, Mr. Brown will tell you. The same art, he says, will tell you paints, sculptures, nobody else in a picture, makes a cook give just a little dash more of this or that to a dish which sets it off as a thing apart. "That is why I guess, I like to cook," he says, "ok upon my cooking, not as labor, but as science and art." "I must admit," says Mr. Brown. SUNDAY, DECEMBER 16th AT 8 P. M.

"Our homes, in too many instances, are in need of the simplest conveniences of modern life. Some of them are not always used the means at our command; and the other because we have had no means. We cannot too strongly impress upon our farmers the importance of step to improve their homes in appearance, in furnishings, in conveniences and in sanitary provisions. "Whitewash is inexpensive. A broken tree can be repaired by the protest of us all." Dr. Moton Speaks Dr. Moton in his address to the farmer, he can successfully operate a farm as a tenant, manage it efficiently and produce good paying crops, ought to be able to succeed even better as a land owner. If the farmer wants good crops, he said, "he must sow good seed, he must cultivate cared for land, he must guard against a wild mind, making on more than he can care for." "If he wants good live stock he will have to start with a good breed and with all the free information and aid which the federal and state governments offer to the farmer there is not able to produce, good crops." Cash prizes aggregating $500 were awarded to 4-H Club boys and girls.

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.

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.

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.

Harlem's Slums More Congested Than Lower East Side internal immigration is not by any means confined to the native-born population. It consists to a considerable extent in the sons who have either migrated to other parts of the country and subsequently come to New York, or who have been added to the army and then drifted back to New York. "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."

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.

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! MABEL, HOW COULD YOU? Mabel Ridley makes "Deen Harlen" even deeper when she sings "I Wonder Why," with Sterling Grant. Not only does Miss Ridley sing, and possess personality plus, but she also demonstrates that she is an accomplished pianist. ```markdown ``` The CAREY Mighty melodramatic masterpiece enacted amid the crash of forest monarchs and the dismal depths of mystic swamp lands!

Mrs. Helen Rich. 1143 Myrtle avenue: "Roland Hayes is justified because the white audiences are so sympathetic that he could be foolish to refuse to sing to a segregated audience. Besides losing money he would lose prestige. Our race would not pay the price to hear him speak so clearly as often as the whites to do."

At the school both fall in love with the same girl (Miss Carol), who with her brother, operate the field. The war hero's brother is a marvel at mechanics, but a coward in the air, while his pal is just the opposite. While the thrills and exciting moments are furnished by the scenes in the air, the picture is not lacking in heart interest and sentimental appeal. Many of the scenes were shot in two adjacent sojourn two layers of clouds between ten and fifteen thousand feet up—so the spectators of the picture can sense the action really occurred in the air.

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. The chorus includes, Belle Allen, Betty Evans, Mary Jackson, Ellie Baggan, and Stella Goodie.

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. Bluefield, 129; Morrisontown, 0. Bluefield, 12; Virginia Seminary, 7. Bluefield, 12; Morrisontown, 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. J. Carey. Lose Two Men Only two men will be lost to the squad for the next season. 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 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.

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. NEW YORK-Paul Robeson's reputed salary of $1,200 weekly for his performances in London, bring to mind the $1,200 weekly for his performances in Boston, bring to mind the $1,200 weekly for his performances, and the $1,700 weekly compensation received by the late Florence Millis, shortly before she died. Robeson's "his Day" by Day" column, O. Maintyre, the columnist, speaking of Robeson's brilliant London success, probably the most brilliant of any player in England, says. Robeson Robeson finds no racial prejudice. He is plotted to the best tables in cafes, invited to select Mayfair drawing rooms and becomes the guest of honor in the room.

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. Du Pree. Wade. Washington. Williams. This horse of star tore up the Alabama line and ripped through for many yards. At one time Johnson hit through the Alabama line for 35 yards and crossed the line, with Wade. Washington him. Du Pree brought the stands to uproar time and again with his marvelous broken field dashes. Chambers sacrificed some of his running back for his running back. He lore great holes in the Alabama defense. LINE-4PS CLARK (18) ALABA (10) O'Neal . . . L. E. . . Hal Galbert . . . L. G. . . A. Cammack Benson (C) . . . C. G. . . E. Cammack Halney . . . C. G. . .

THE PASSING REVIEW WE WERE SURPRISED, to say the least, when ge, read, the attack on Referee L. U. Gibson printed in the columns of the Philadelphia TRIBUNE last week, ‘Coming as it did from an, anonymous writer, termed. by Randy Dixon ag 2 “notable,” the attack on the local official reached its cl max in this paragraph: MeN TNT have seen almost every game between Lincoln and How. ard at which Mr. Glbson has officiated. ‘He has been unfair in every ‘one of them, but his decisions on Jast Thanksgiving Day settles mat- ters. If the Lincoln management permits him to referee another game they are a bunch of chumps, if not worse.” edsing, the grammatical errors in, che above, the writer, hose Identity we believe we know, is within’ bounds, His contention is that Lincoln was robbed by two of Referee Gibson's decisions in particular. Of this the unseen attacker says: itrhe play was on Lincoln's twenty yard line. Howard's ball. It'ts a forward pass. ‘The ball is low. “The receiver, for Howard Stoops to catch if A Lincoln player in attempting to intercept the ay touches the reas, enosking the bal (0 the ‘ground, The as almost touching the field before either, paver touched. Mr. Gibson gave Howard a first down on Lincoln's ten "yard line. Aside from the fact that there was no actual interference that Roald warrant @ penalty, Wt Je quesiignable whether the receiver of the pass could have caught the ball due to its position. Eihen to cap the climax (Howard's ball as @ result of the refe~ zee's decision) with the ball seven inches from the goal tine after Scrimmage, Ube. Gibson declares it a toushdown At east SAty people standing at right angles, not twenty yards from the play, Stated that the Ball did not cross the oa! ‘inde but when the play ended it was from 7 to 12 inches from the goal line. And with only A 'slight protest the Lincoin players continued to play. Gentlemen, everyone of them, Almost too much $0." ‘Ee me say to the person who was Woo cowardly and yellow tsa his name to the above, that mouthings of that sort have no effect in ‘moving eheol represeniatives to action. Had he signed his name and presenled a petition fo the, guthorties showing thet there is objection {o Referee CGioson he would have been more in order. ‘Sut to the subject. In an aitempt to give an unbiased judgement in this matter let me say that I do not belleve It possible for “Atty Prope sande, at Heh ances nok iventy yards drs the play” to GE BETTER THAN THE REFBREE Just what is happening in a Play in which the players pile up. It 45 hard enough sor the Toferee To'dee when he has iis head stuck down AMONG the players, so that $f heraly ‘seems plaunible that persons standing 60 feet away, and at RIGHT ‘ANGLES could be better judges of the play than Oné referee could. ‘Imagine judging a distance of seven inches standing 60 fect away. : ‘Name any game in which everybody agrees with every decision of the referee. “Itvis only natural that there will be objections and it is ‘only natural that in the course of his dutles the referee will, make Somme ‘mistakes, Name one who doesn't. Ib is because of the biased Sadement of the public that, officials are necessary for a game, other- Wise teams would let the public be the judge, ‘We are not taking up the cudgel ior Referee Gibson, nor for any- one else, What we are maxing Js an attempt to place facts before the Pe i exch tor, spectators to make mistakes, TnAs ap ‘instance the same game, when Harry Payne imade his sensaugpal cub {st as the first half ended, Most of the spectators and some of the writers fh 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 thrown outside. ‘We disagree with Referee Gibson's attacker on the further useful ness of Referee Gibson, so much so that we wager that if Howard and Eineoln mest next year, he all be major domo on thal day. “And for those who dont know. the subject of this discussion and the conductor of this column are in no way related, Te hope tne water of She attack wil fee} so saben of himegl that he Wit make’ his ideplity known.” He will do himseit Justice, by Going so. Nothing is so heartily detested as a snake in the grass. And cowards nauseate me, ae En A GLANCE BACK upon the football season just, come to a close reveals atthe past season was one of the most hectic in the history Of the sport Took at the windup in the south, for instance. Tuskegee defeated ‘Attanta, conqueror of Clark, and Clark ‘iad previously won from Tus feges, "Atlanta nosed out Alabama State and the Montgomery eleven tice ‘tuskegeo, after naving dropped a game to Morehouse. ‘Moris Brown comes along to tle Atlanta and Howard, in its in vasion of the South, claimed A, Us sealp by one touchdown. Howard Yhen tied Bluefield, 0-0, but lost to West Virginla, conquered by the Blues. Wilberforce was unable to beat West. Virginia and lost, to Blue- fisid‘on a fumble. In the same manner Hampton lost to West, Virginia. Biuefeld and Wiley then, are the only unbeaten elevens in the coun- fry, but both have tie scores chalked up agaist them. Riis untortunate that the proposed post-season’ meeting, between these two ‘schools had to be Postponed. Some day, however, it may be Dossble to-arrange schedules’ in fueh a manner 29 ter wnen the end Bethe season rolls around it will not be such a hard matter to de- cide who's who. —_—_1—___ A POLITE OBJECTION ts made to Johnson C.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stores from Coast to Coast KAY JEWELRY COMPANY 7 W. Lexington St. Jr. League Organizes Dances Among School Age Youths By H. 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. Thinking, perhaps, dearie, that I might get a hearing at the Community House, entrusted in there, behold, Scott, Scout, in there, building, building, planning to give a treat to the unfortunate poor children. No sooner in out out, I can across a room, and what should she do but peruse me to stop by her home to pick up some club news. Thinking, as usual, it was for a dance or show for good and pencil; but girl, there they were collecting funds from each member towards furnishing Christmas baskets for the poor. Club. Feeling fatigued and beating it homeward, only to be pushed this side and that, by pedestrians with their arms toys and whatshaw some at last, and who should be waiting my arrival but a number of the Big Brotherhood Club. for a little mite toward their contribution at Christmas to the various institutions for the S come back to where I started from, can't yolu see, dearie, the Christmas spirit everywhere around Baltimore that can be reached, that can be reached, and so how can I put my mind on anything at this writing, except that which is actually before us? 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. Hya Thomas Entertains Pierette Club Hya girls, has the sweetest personality, and everybody couldn't help but love her. 'This true she is rather quiet and reserved, but that unusual way about her has won her the entertained most elaborately at her home, 2011 Drud Hill avenue, on Saturday evening in honor of her club, the Pierettes, and a number of the bridges, the entertainment's evening's pleasure, and while at play, the radio played continued soft music. The best of punch was passed at intervals, while the choosest of sweet-meats were placed on the table and enjoyed by the score and score most unusual and attractive. 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.

But on last Thursday evening, the club members were the guests of the Hill girls at Penn Hotel. They were invited to the dining room and a lovely collation was served. While enjoying the repast, Ida presented the card prizes. The next night, the prize was a door knocker. By Lillian Parrott: the second prize was a crystal necklace and was presented to Catherine Williams, and the third prize, a door knocker. By Lillian Parrott: the second prize was a crystal necklace, rightly deserves its name, for the members, when I tell you who they are, have every thing original. They are Alice MacChaplin, Thomas Bierloxard, Gladys McAbe, Jean Pace, Khelse Katherine Williams and Mac Miller. The Morganites' Reception The Morgan College sophomore class gave the freshman class a lovely reception, Panay, on last Friday evening. And what has been said, it was considered over more than a reception. The chapel was so transformed in its decorations that you would never have considered, had you not known that the faculty was so beautiful. 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. Sidate little Miss George Mecklenburg, of the president, Bob Williams. In fact, girls, the boys and girls were all there in their splendor and a most pleasant view.
