VICTORY LIFE HAS BIGGEST YEAR Premium Income $350,000—Increase $140,000 Over Last Year CHICAGO. — An estimate of the business of the year, to October 31st, has been completed, and it appears now that premium income of the Victory Life Insurance Company for this year will be to $350,000, if not excess of that figure. This is quite an increase from the $210,000 for 1927. The total income for the year will be approximately $75,000 in excess of disbursements. Reserves on the business in force are close to $295,000. Assets of the company will be considably over $600,000. For the first ten months of this year, the company will increase in the business in force of something more than $3,000. This was almost fifty per cent of the business in force at the end of 1927. The company has paid to agents and others who acquired business in the ten months of this year, more than was paid during the entire year of 1927. This means that the income of agents and others in similar capacities will be increased by one-sixth, if not more, in 1928, as com- FLYER GETS LICENSE KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Dr. Dr. Porter Davis, physician and owner of an airplane, recently received his commercial pilot's license the government said.

Howard, Republican-National-Committeeman for Mississippi, and four codefendants charged with violating the Federal, Patronage Conspiracy Act were acquitted here Friday after an all night and morning session. Others set free were Lr. S. D. Redmond, Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee; his brother, A. M. Redmond, and Ed. L. Patton, a veteran politician who has attended every Republican National Convention in twenty-five years. One result of the verdict will be that the white Republican faction led by Lamont Rowlands, U. S. Gordon, Charles Sheldon, and L. O Crossby will fall in their effort to oust Howard as Republican National Committeeman for this State. Howard has no intention of resigning and there is no possibility of way of bringing about his removal. Suspended From Post Whether or not Attorney General Sargent will reinstate Howard as his assistant remains to be seen. Other indictments are pending but it is generally believed the Deputy Justice will bring the case, and that all further efforts to convict them will be futile. After Howard was indicted at the special term of Federal Court last July, when the charges against him were presented by Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, special assistant to the Attorney General, office of the appointed heir at Washington, Latter the Republica: National Committee recognized the so-called white faction of the Republican party in this State, and put Lamont Rowlands, millionaire South Mississippi lumberman, in charge of the Hoover campaign. The sum of the expenditure or a large sum of money for speakers and campaign literature, Rowlands and his associates succeeded in capturing only about 27,000 votes. The Howard faction probably could have done better, since an overwhelming majority of the qualified voters resented away from the polls in reassertment over the dethronement of Howard.

There was the corroboration of testimony, save testimony, save testimony of circumstantial evidence and the statements of his brother, A. S. Russell, white.

Evangelist Uses Empty Coffin And Mirror On Sinners NEW YORK — Thrills connected with the investigation of 41 lynchings and eight race riots by the N.A. A. C. P. are told by Walter White in the current issue of the American Mercury. White, who is blue-eyed and flaxen haired, is known as colored among his friends but the fact that he is more than seven-eights white blood makes it possible for him to be legally white in one state and legally colored in another. White Skin Was Danger Mr. White says his white skin enabled him to investigate many riots in the South with safety but near cost him his life in the Chicago race riot in 1819 when a colored man hit him thinking he be a white person. In his investigation of a Georgia outbreak in 1818 when a woman was lynched about to rive birth to a child, whites became suspicious of him as a Department of Justice official. Theley shadowed every movement, but he was not molested. Wore Ku Kui Uniform. In 1892 Mr. White went to investigate a lynching of two colored boys and a colored woman in a southern state as a representative of a New York newspaper, he went to call on a lawyer who knew something about the case. "I told him frankly I was seeking information about the lynching. He said nothing, but left the room. "Perhaps two minutes later, hearing a sound at the door through which he had gone. I looked up and there stood a collar in gold of the Ku Klux Klan. I looked at the figure and the figure looked at me. The hood was then removed and, as I suspected, it was the owner of the house." "I show you this," he told me, "so you will know that what I tell you is true." The lawyer's story enabled Mr. White to connect the sheriff, the deputies, various jailers, policemen, three relatives of the then governor of the state, a member of the Arkansas Legislature and an oligarch business men in the lynching mob. Mr. White represented another B. / York paper in investigating the Tulsa, Oklahoma, riot. He served as a deputy sheriff and was without office, although whites suspected that he was connected with the N. A. A. C. P. In The Eaine Riot The narrowest escape of all, Mr. White declares, came when he investigated the Elaine, Arkansas riot as a representative of a Chicago mob.

But that he set sail for Rio de Janeiro; South America, cannot yet be given too much credence. It appears that, Mr. Gale who some time ago, opened offices in New York, ostensibly to branch out, took with him, his former secretary, Mrs. Vivian Hinkson, of this city, and wife of Dr. I. A. Hinkson, of Main street, Hartford, Connecticut. Mrs. Hinkson's mother who lives in Watertown, Conn., is reputed to have money.

By a vote of 54-14 the Senate refused to agree to a concurrent resolution offered by the Senate to the Speaker of the House and the Vice-President, who had already signed the bill. Senate Agreed The Senate on December 12 agreed to Senator Trammell's motion to the Senate to take action. The House took no action on the request of the Senate for the return of the bill, but presented it to the president for his signature. Senator Trammell sought reconsideration of the bill on the ground that, in providing the federal appropriations shall be made to a private educational institution should be carefully considered by the Senate. Heflin Talks The Trammell resolution caused a running debate. Senator Thomas J.

White boys are working their way through college here, Senator Heflin rejoined, directing attention to a protestant institution here.

Senator Bruce asked Heflin why he did not offer an amendment favoring American University or some other university of objecting to Howard University.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1928 A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Youth, 17, Killed By Machine Guns After Tear Gas Won't Work Police Without Warrant Got Bullets Instead Of Prisoner CHICAGO, (ANP.) — The breaking of a window here Wednesday morning, the newsman was wading through policemen and the killing of a seventeen-year-old youth in a pitched battle which lasted five hours, between the police and the soldier policemen, led by the highest police officials. Ernest Whitehurst, the youth, was charged with killing a bully and plucking policemen, led by the highest police officials. Ernest Whitehurst, the youth, was charged with killing a bully and plucking policemen, led by the highest police officials. Ernest Whitehurst, the youth, was charged with killing a bully and plucking policemen, led by the highest police officials. Returning with reinforcements, a battle was engaged in, which has been declared to have been the most gruesome attack on the department's hit. Giving tear-gas bombs, machinegun, and pistol fire. Whitehurst shot with a reckless abandon, accuracy, and regularity which would do credit to any of the many Chicago gun- At almost every shot an officer felt wounded but not one was seriously injured. Injuries were from behind steel shields and from adoling buildings, but to no avail. Finally, protected by shields, they rushed the door, and crowded the room. His body was riddled with bullets. An examination of the body at the Bridwell Hospital revealed "too many words to describe" Survival Killing. Just why the youth resisted the officers and why it was necessary to kill him are yet mysteries to the door. A girl, 25, who is a cripple, told officers that her brother did not know that the two men who came to the door were not in the same form and mistaking them for robbers opened fire upon them, but she could not account for his continued resistance. She explained the killing with several reasons, the most important being: a narrow hallway prevented a concerted rush by police; and a strong wind blew tear bomb gas Why The Window Was Broken Another mystery surrounding the killing was the reason why the hurst was why the window was. Had he been refused service because he was a Negro? Had the owner aroused his ire by some curt remark? Was the brick hurled at the window or at another tarret and the breaking of the window? Are questions are being asked along with the query: Was the offense equal to the cost of arrest? Luke, Walter, and Ernest Jones, companions of Whitehurst, have been arrested in connection with the window-breaking and according to a statement that Whitehurst threw the brick. In the house with Whitehurst during the battle were: his sister, Mary, and three brothers; the old man, David. The father, Owen Whitehurst, was at work at the time of the shooting. The members of the household and the entire neighborhood were drawn out of the buildings were shot out by the officers in the effort to "get their man." The apartment in which the hurst was located was knocked by the machine-gun fire of the officers. Report says Killing Will Be Led by Attorney Edith Sampson, a group of citizens have inaugurated a new "defense affair", pointing out that if Whitehurst is considered a juvenile, then officers from the juvenile departments should have gone inside to make an adult, the arresting officers should have been armed with a warrant.

WORK ON NEW CENSUS STARTS NEXT YEAR WASHINGTON, D. G. (ANP.) — Authorities here are beginning now to plan for the taking of the next decennial census. The enumeration program, a government manufacturing, distribution, mining, irrigation, and drainage. Work for this census will begin partially in November, 1929, due to a provision for the taking of the figures on agriculture in the fall, a more convenient time than May, the time formerly used. Leaders are interested in observing the conduct of the 1930 census. The feeling is wide-spread that the 1920 census which was administered under the direction of the present F.

In 1910 numerous colored enumerators were employed, after passing a nominal test, and were denied a Republican administration, a similar condition may exist i: 1930.

C. E. Stewart, blamed ultra-modernism among some parents for much of the evils among the young in his sermon, Sunday. In many cases parents are running wilder than their children, said the Rev. Mr. Stewart, and it is impossible to expect stability and seriousness from these young folk under circumstances.

Be modern, he said, but hold on to the old religious principles. WASHINGTON, D. C.—J. A. Lankford, an architect, proved before Judge James A.

C. — Indicating that he might hold that the trustees and shareholders of the defunct Union Laborers Bank are personally liable for losses of defended Peyton Gordon in Equity Court No. 1 last Tuesday postponed further hefting of the case to January 10 to allow counsel to file briefs. He intimated that he would dispose of this case on that day. Trial of the case was begun in the Supreme Court Monday with Justices Gordon presiding. In his opening statement, Charles H. Houston of the firm of Houston Houston, representing depositors, asked the court for a decree personally against the trustees and shareholders of the bank on the ground that the receivers had assets with pay depositors. Objection was immediately made by Fralley & Purcell, attorneys for Dr. Thomas C. Smith, a trustee, and Jesse H. Foster, a shareholder. They insisted that the depositors were limited to the assets in the hands of the receivers and that if the receivers did not recover, the depositors would not recover. Justice Gordon adjourned court until Tuesday morning when the argument on the question of the liability of the trustees and shareholders was continued. At the conclusion he indicated that in his opinion no personal liability could attach to the trustees and shareholders. He also suggested that it was not sufficient to creditors of the defender to prove their claims before the auditor but that if they accepted any relief they would have to become plaintiffs and share the cost of the litigation. Houston and Houston asked the court for leave to file a brief in support of their contention, pointing out that unless the depositors proceeded, they would be in danger of relief because more than three years had elapsed since the closing of the bank and too late to file a new suit. Hayes and Davis, attorneys, represented J. Finley Wilson, a trustee and stockholder. Armond W. Scott appealed to the court. Bernard C. Charles and shareholder S. Cuney represented the estate of the late Lewis W. Oldham, who was a shareholder. William H. H. Wheeler resented most of the remaining assets including James W. Howard, president of the bank.

Jackson Among The Speakers BISHOP CLEMENT THERE New Building For Nat. Training School Has 12 Classrooms WASHINGTON, D. C. — Before a crowd of more than 1,000 people who filled the corridors and nearby rooms, the new Trades Hall of the Institutional Training School for Women and Girls was dedicated on last Sunday by P. M., at Lincoln Heights, D. C. The building is a terra cotta, fireproof brick structure, with spacious halls, twelve classrooms, three offices, one reception room, and a parlor. It was erected at a cost of $93,000. Declaring that the building was nothing in itself, but that it stood for the ideals and hopes, Negro womanhood and manhood Burrell, a national founder of the National Training School, presented the keys of the new building to Mrs. Emma H. Roberts who accepted them in behalf of the tree board of the school member. written The dedicatory address was made by Dr. J. C. Jackson, president of the New England Baptist Convention. Dr. Jackson regretted his inability to give what he considered his share of monetary help, but pledged his support of the school in every possible way. Other Speakers Other speakers included: Mrs. Mary McCleod Bethune, president of Daytona-Cookman College, and S. W. Rutherford, secretary, National Benefit life insurance Company, Allen D. Hempel, of Hampton Institute, and William Harrison, of the Morning Star, Lodge of Elks. Bishop Clement Among others who made short talks were Dr. John Hope, of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.; A.

Sensible Giving Within recent years a large number of men and women have applied thought and common sense to their Christmas giving by discontinuing to give those things which were of no permanent value. Many have realized that an Xmas Savings Fund, a subscription to a good magazine, or to a Book-a-Month Club, the beginning of a Savings Account, or the creation of an estate through a Life Insurance Policy were worthwhile gifts which would not only give momentary pleasure, but would be of material value throughout the coming years. An Educational Policy on your life for the benefit of a son or daughter would guarantee to them that preparation for their life's work which is absolutely essential in this age of efficiency. A savings account in the form of an Endowment Policy would be an admirable gift for a wife, and would serve as an unfailing barrier against poverty and dependence on relatives or charity in her Old Age. Additional insurance on your own life will immediately increase your estate—your savings—your protection—and create for you an Emergency Fund that in later years will enable you to face the dawn of each new day with the same spirit of hope and cheer that is so prevalent at Christmastide.

EXCITEMENT, CROWDS NOT EVANGELISM "Drawing" Preachers No Sign Of Revival Success, Says The Rev. H. T. Medford STREET CARS DISCUSSED Body Would Restore Local Services On Biddle Street "Large crowds, drawing preachers and excitement are by no means signs of successful evangelism," the Rev. H. T. Medford, General Secretary, Treasurer of department of Foreign Missions of the A. M. E. Z. Church, told the M. E. Preachers' Meeting here, Monday. Dr. Medford, speaking on the subject, "Methods in Evangelism", declared that there was something to do besides merely designate a time for a revival meeting, sending for a preacher who can attract a crowd and create large excitement. In the field of evangelism, plans, method and system help just as they do in other endeavors, said the speaker, and gave the following three methods as an outline for an evangelistic effort: 1. Creating a passion for soul winning. Under this head the speaker suggested the organization of church membership for specialized work an dproposed a questionnaire be sent out as a basis for this. He also urged that drill and training be given every member who is to do work in an evangelistic effort and that the work bein and proceed with machine like efficiency. 2. Assessing the lists of prospects secured by members; visits by members, cottage prayer meetings and personal talks were advocated for reaching prospective co. verts. 3. Conserving the results: The Rev. Mr. Medford gave as the most important phase of an evangelistic mission of the church the results of the revival. From his experience, he said, two thirds of the new members can be kept permanently active in the church, if they are properly followed up. He advocated not only a close personal watch but also a close personal watch should be kept active and that at the end of the revival should be brought in active contact with the church forces through a reception of some kind. Among those who took part in the mission of the paper wave Bishop A. of the church, the Rev. M. J. Navarro, G. W. Hunter, J. T. Colbert and M. Warren. Dispute Census Figures Following citation of figures from the last year of the U.S. Census by Carl Murphy, Editor, AFROAMERICAN, in which it was stated that there had been a decrease in membership of the A. M. E. churches in the United States during the last fiscal year, these figures were challenged by the U.S. and R. C. president of the conference as being inaccurate. The president explained that many presiding elders had failed to send in statistics and that the full membership of the churches would show an increase when all were in the U.S. Cair Question A committee comprising the Revs. J. E. Loe, J. T. Colbert and Carl Murphy was appointed to take up the matter of urging the street railway company to restore service on sections of the Biddle street line, rerouted some time ago.

M.—Christmas Cantata by "THE GLORY OF The Music and Rendition SERMONETTE B I. P. M.—Excellent Program by Pr "It is no easy performance to do good to a person who you suspect hates you, or, pray for those who displettely use you," declared Dr. Ernest S. Williams at Metropolitan M. E. Church, at the Sunday morning service. The discourse was based on the text: Romans 8: 17, 18, and the subject was "Heirs of God." In his outline the pastor emphasized the children and heirs of the Father hungled and that a claim to Christianity without some other vital element was useless, a thinkling cymbal. "No one can claim Christianity who does not recognize every other Christian as a brother or a sister. It's true in a human family; it is likewise true in God's family. If you love, honor, and protect members of your immediate household and kin, can't you see how necessary it can be so attached to Christians? "W: must learn to get out of our own narrow circle in dispensing kindness and benevolence. How easy it is to help a person whom you like or to withhold it from one who prejudice tells you is underserving. 'Tis far better to serve humanity than personalities; it too prone to err in conclusions, therefore to err miscarrying justice and inference to mankind. 'Many are are.' asserted the sion is all that's necessary to a Christian minister, 'who believe that convertian life, but I declare that without a action and service they won't have a ghost of a chance to see God's face in peace. 'How many of you can pray for that next neighbor who persists and delights in throwing sime on your good name? Indeed, it is no easy performance, for human nature advises retaliation for insult and injury. To pray for your enemies is an acid test of your Christianity. "I fear," concluded Dr. Williams, "that a host of so-called Christians will come up to God's lodge room and rap for admittance, only to be told that they are unfinancial. Keep up your dues by bearing all things, praying for your enemies, and doing good to those that hate you, for the glory of that day will overshadow all the sufferings of a huma" D. C. CHURCHES D. C.

Speaking of the report cards issued to students for their hard work, he had believed that the teachers were too liberal with their marks, that were mostly 80's and 90's. He said humorously that if the marks had been not be over satisfied, but would feel that they had something to strive for when school re-opens. He said writing was in progress in the auditorium, the class of Mr. Colleck was merry-making at their own private party down in the cafeteria. All the good things that makes a delightful repast were on the Night school will re-open. Thursday evening, January 3rd.

RACE PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED OVERNIGHT RACE PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED OVERNIGHT "Discriminatory laws are unwise and unjust. Natural laws will hold the Negro to his race, as it does the Hebrews. If left alone, he will socially and sexually gravitate to his own, as like to like," said Dr. W. W. Walker and the Forum at Carpenter's Hall, Sunday. "If there is a real, vital Negro Problem in America, it is unique in that such is purely psychological, and can be solved overnight, if the dominant group soaker the responsibility for overcoming this national disgrace on the shoulders of the Negro group, who, he said, should not be allowed to hold the god of will of the whites, but should also show themselves deserving by developing the lofty mind of the best Angels." Speaking on "Race Relations", Dr. Walker's preface was: "that peculiar conditions existing between races are the result of the arguments, but by the way the rank and file of the groups concerned made the effort to live them out." The Negro group may be assisting him. to maintain the intolerable status it has in itself, its process and by posing as martyrs, holding its hands overlasting sympathy from its white neighbors. MRS.

NEW YORK. — Lew Leslie came near losing one of his star "Blackbirds" last week, when Johnny Hudgins narrowly escaped serious injury and possible death.

For Johnny the saw the accident. and rushed to see the comedian stagger out when the cab was righted. He was badly shaken up and dazed as a policeman assisted him from the machine. His first thoughts were of his wife and phone and tell her of the accident. Mrs. Hudgins faded when the off-air got her on the phone and made known Johnny's escape. A few minutes later, she came back her husband and told her of the cab and speeging to the drug store where her husband was receiving first aid treatment. The accident took 1:30 P. M. on the concourse near 195th Street. Johnny had been visiting some friends and was on his way to the theatre for Heinrich.

YOUR EMPLOYES. December 34, 1915 P. N. Mullery Christmas, 1928 St. Luke II. 1-14. (a new translation of the Bible, by James Moffatt) Now in those days an edict was issued of the whole world. (This was the first census, and) took place when Quirinius was governor of Canaan. So everyone went to be registered at his own town, and he belonged to the house and family of David, the hew up from Galilee to Judea, from the town of Nazaret to David's town called Bethlehem, to be registered a ug with Mary his wife. She was pregnant, and while they were there the days clapsed for her delivery; she gave birth to her firstborn, and as there was no room for them inside the khan she wrapped him up and laid a stall for cattle. There were some shepherds in the district who were out in the fields keeping guard over their flocks by night; and an angel of the Lord flashed upon them, the glory of the Lord shone all around them. "I certainly afraid, but the angel said to them, "Have no fear. This is good news I am bringing you, news of a great joy that is meant for all the people. To-day you have a saviour born in the town of David, the Lord maziah. And here is a proof for you: you will find a baby wrapped up and lying in a sack. There is another in the army suddenly appalled by the angel extolling God and saying, "Glory to God in high heaven and peace on earth for who who favours!" Congratulations Several weeks ago these columns congratulated U. S. Judge Morris Super upon an address before the Maryland Interracial Commission in which he argued for the principle of equal pay for colored and white rural school teachers of the state. We said then: "Maryland has two blots upon its name. One is the jim crow car law, and the other is the state law fixing lower minimum salaries for colored county public school teachers." "Superintendent Albert Cook is the chief opponent of the 'equal pay' principle. He is also a member of the commission." "Can Judge Sper convert, Mr. Cook? If not, he can." he can. We look the commission met and agreed to make a report to the state legislature urging equalization of teachers' salaries, and repeal of the lim crow car law. Mr. Cook seems to have been converted. We congratulate him, Judge Sopre, the entire commission upon a report that the sense is worthy upon the truth of the confidence and respect which the common people have in the ability of the commission to propose a means of lightening their most pressing burdens. Mr. Howard Freed Mr. Howard Freed The theory that "Southern white folks usually look after their colored folks," does not entirely account for the acquittal of Mr. Perry Howard, republican national committeeman in the Mississippi federal court last week. More credence to be placed in the following argument made in the news, Saturday:— the evidence had been more conclusive, if the testimony had shown beyond a reasonable doubt that Anismel P. Russek, a Republican, had charitability, and that the amount had been more or less equally distributed between Perry Howard and other Negro Republicans, whether the jury would convict any of the defenses. "In brief, the real psychology of the trial was simple: important than the guilts or innocence of the accused parties. The guilts or innocence of the accused parties was established conviction that if a Republican party is to exist in Mississippi it is better to have it under the leadership of a white supremacy is less in peril with Perry Howard at the helm than it would be under the domination of Lannett Rowlands, a political power: that Howard and his associates, following the time-honored precedent, will be content to distribute the trophies to the acid test of analysis—both hopes and aspirates to establish in Mississippi a party, that will accruely contend with demographics only in national election. With Mr. Howard and the democrats working together it is evident that Mississippi ipli whites are going to find sledding far rougher than in Georgia where National Committeeman Benjamin Davis has been accused of harrowing the Honorable Miller McGlochrist, white, special assistant to the Attorney-General at Washington, was surprised and disconcerted when the jury returned its verdict of acquittal. He had made a strong, pleasing argument, but the minds of the jury were unconvinced. Perhaps the democratic jurymen were not listening as McGlochrist was told. Maybe he wondered that the Honorable Mabel Walker Willebrand, who stirred up all this patronage mess and then failed to come back and finish what she started. Perchance the jurors wondered why the Honorable Mabel travelled way down to old Mississippi to make Mr. Perry Howard the goal of a man who would be honored by the white, seller of patronage in Virginia and the Honorable Joseph Tolbert, South Carolina job dispenser who never wears a necklec, are so much closer and more accessible. No matter where their thou were, they were not acquitted. They were the first balk for a unanimous acquittal show. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1928 Folks go to church for various reasons, and occasionally you may find a few who repair thitherward walls, including your vicar (or minister), but here, gentle reader, is a part of the Sunday 'fixings' that others than myself would gladly pass up. You know reporters have an unusual opportunity to study human nature, and in question a lawsuit or a divorce scandal, they must need go everywhere snapping around and ferreting out something to put in the editor's hand. Before and thereupon, I find myself on the way to church having just miraculously decided whether it was best to remain home and try to get up steam for the next week's hectic grind or do as I find myself doing. The Program Now here is the program as I approached a certain church on a certain street in a certain block in Baltimore. A number of persons, conducers, ministers, parishioners, the vestibule for some reason, for it was then already 11:15 a. m. The "reason" as soon made clear, was offering a prayer to the Omnipresent Creator, that might easily be called a cough of anger or anger, for about fifteen minutes. Thanks to the good brother, whom I know must have been in earnest, we edged our way into the building and flopped down in a seat and got "set" for the sermon which I was certain could not be seen. I had not as yet seen the minister or pastor. What things didn't drag, for the six or seven deacons facing the audience alternated in song, prayer and scripture reading for half and hour at least. Well, these first forty-five minutes made me kinda grouchy being strong on red tape, and I breathed a sigh of relief when the pastor entered for a rear door. Start All Over From then on the Shepherd was in charge and he began doing over what I just told you the deacons did, for he lined the hymn, offered a prayer, lined another hymn, had prayer by another brother and then read the scriptures. But, wait, we don't get the sermon yet. The ushers must come from the parish, offered a prayer and a sermon is made over that; the church clerk then reads all of the notices and announcements; the choir sings again, and the pastor rises to the pulpit, gives out late notices, comments on the others clerk read, and now he reads to the wall, and by the way, the clock on the wall points to the hour as 12:10. And these are the preliminaries one must witness in order to be "in" on the sermon, and no wonder folks come to see him. And no wonder folks come to see him in an automobile at the risk of losing a starry crown or golden slippers. It's not confined to churches alone, for in some lodges of which I was a member there existed a fellow who did something but completely exhausting the patience and good nature of folks who want results. Smith's Address Speech makers come under this category, too, for nearly two hours had short speeches from excess (in words) of the actual message (itself). The politician, John Smith was invited politician to be the principal speaker at a campaign banquet. On the night in question, Mr. Smith was present, so were a dozen others seated on the rostrum. The warm green carpet, the lavender carpet, finally introduce Mr. Smith to give the principal address. Exasperated and plainly vexed, this gentleman stepped forward, pulled his watch abruptly from his vest, pocket and said: "Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen, my address is 619 North Central avenue, good night." Time Killers You couldn't blame Mr. Smith, nor can you blame people who get fidgety in the face of what transpires in at least one church. Whatever you mean to do, go to it. Leave off excess preparations, for you will feel around too long the time you will get there first. Primitives are usually down right time killers, and since they are, let's do some first-class elimination. The Afro Did Not Attack Mr. Haines In An "Article." Its News Columns Are Never Used for Attacks. Its Own Opinions Are Reserved for Its Editorial Columns. Perhaps Reader Howard Refers to That. To the Editor: I read your article of December 8, 1928, on Roland Hayes, in which you attacked him for tolerating segregation in the setting arrangements at Poll's Wallway. (C) I must respect you with most emphatically. Your attack should be aimed at the colored people of Washington. It was known weeks before his appearance that segregation was in continual progress, and he was the previous appearance in the Auditorium two years ago and I noticed not a single protest in your paper or any other for that matter. Rioting was common and often made slight, Rioting was in New York and other cities glorifying the American Negro. I could agree with you in blaming a Garvey or DuBois or Trotter for tolerating race conditions in Washington, but surely not a Hayes or Martin Anderson. So to do this is like expecting him to finance colored businesses, since at $3,000 a night his yearly income probably exceeds that of any other Negro. No one dreams of doing this to a man, nor a man, nor neither he is an antagonist or monagogist. Roland Hayes has consecrated himself to his profession. In addition to overcoming all the regular obstacles of his profession, Hayes has made it successful in our endeavors as he. His name will go down in history as one of the foremost Negro men of this generation your statements to the press, and you will be恭喜 such as Bert Williams, Florence Mills, Paul Robinson, etc., who are attracting the greatest amount of favorable publicity to our people. He has ceased to speak, and he is international in fame and acclaim. Why, therefore, should he fight Boston or Washington or Atlanta's race problems. The problem in Washington is deeper and more significant than Mr. Kirk's. Segregation is more rife in Washington now than heretofore and instead of adopting the tactics of the Jew who snaps back instantly at any usurpation of rights they already possess, the 200,000 Washingtonians to protest with the known and lawful means at hand and not to wait for an individual who has already contributed a gentius part. It is beginning to read the cowardly minnion in which the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. F. "passed the buck." They should write to New York headquarters and ask them what to do. there are at least three possible methods of attaining their disposal. 1. By legislation against segregation as in New York' city, which means petitioning Congress and as the nation's capital, this should be more frequent. By pickling, at "Birth of a Nation" pictures. Newspaper publicity and even parades as has often been done in New York. 3. By organizing our own concert committee and hiring a hall to hear our own most distinguished. Roland Hayes has shown courage of an order which neither you nor I can hardly appreciate by just incorporating spirituals in his other classical programs and explaining their conception and history from the platform to the door. He pleaded for the doors to hear Mr. Hayes. Dr. Proctor said of that occasion that this little black man had risen above the reproach of race. I may add that he has risen above your reproaches also. D. HOWARD, Howard University Churches Statistics just released by the U. S. Census department give some interesting facts about colored churches. Georgia has the largest number of church buildings, 5201—Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont report fewer than 3 churches each. Alabama raises most money each year for church work, $3,480,888; and Pennsylvania has most money invested in church property, $15,362,354. Alabama has the largest number of church members, 557,231; Georgia is second with 533,093 church members. Georgia averages 102 members to every church. Alabama has 102 members to every church, Pennsylvania 251 members to each church, Maryland 148 members to each church, District of Columbia, 492 members to each church, and New York 325 members to each church. The average D. C. church member contributes $11 a year for church purposes and owns a $91 equity in church property. The average Georgia church member contributes $5 a year for church purposes and has an equity of $24 in church property. Marylanders contribute $12 a year each church work but own an equity of one each in church property. New Yorker contribute $18 a year each and have an equity of $55 each in church property. The average church in Pennsylvania is worth $21,700, in Virginia, $6,200, North Carolina, $4,200, Mississippi, $1,700, Maryland, $9,000; District of Columbia, $4,800, New York, $33,000. Five million, two hundred thousand colored persons are members of churches. This is exactly half the race population of the United States, and an increase of 60,000 for every upper 1916. Afro Readers Say: Thinks Police Officers Should Learn Difference Between Human Beings and Cattle. To The Editor: Persons congregating on the sidewalk of any place on the occasion does not warrant are in fault, but being violently driven away like cattle by the police, is worse. Such were the events that transpired at the Baker street entrances of Douglas high school on evening. Sweeping around Calhoun street corner like the north wind, two rowdy officers ordered some people away with harsh imprecations. Performing actions opened the occupied parked cars, shaking their sticks in the occupants' faces and gave similar orders. Mr. Herbert Frisby, principal of the Douglas evening high school, was brought to the scene, quietly strewed away. If these two men, whose duty it is to preserve law and order, were where they should have been and not at the high school, they would have made the messages that the colored people help to pay them. THOMAS E. ROSS. If Every White Man Has His "Uncle Tom", Then Every Negro Has His "Mr. Charlie." To the Eighth Booker T. Washington often said, "However intolerant a community may seem and however spectacular may be the manifestations of discord, in every community where white men knew some one Negro whom he believed in and trusted and every Negro knew some white man whom he regarded as a friend and upon whom he could call for advice and help. Impression has gained currency, even in the best circles of our communities, to the effect that every white man has some Negro whom he regards as typical of what all Negroes ought to be. It is not an uncommon impression that Negroes were like you, there would be no race problem. The person under consideration may be a porter or a physician, a bookback or a bishop. It is also rare that Negroes were like his or its typical white man. The Y. M. C. A. group and the Y. W. C. A. group have their white friends who they are sure are whole-heartedly and courageously loyal. The Negro institutions have boards and boards loyal and most dependable white friends. There is no doubt in the minds of the Urban League groups that they have been most scientific in selection of and liaison with the most upstanding and trusted There is only one danger in this segmented affiliation and that is, each group will decide that its particular chosen represent the human family and that his method of approach to this whole problem of interracial good-will is the only solution. hope of our civilization is in multiplying the points of contact of the "Unele Tons" and the "Mr. Charles" for on these "Two Commandments hang much of the law and the prophets" in race relations. JESSE O. THOMAS Atlanta. Ga. Maryland Is Fearful "Out Of Step" With This Section In Her Unjust Jim Crow Laws. To the Editor: "You'll have to move to the other car, as this section in her Unjust Jim Crow Laws," is the statement any person of color will be likely to hear addressed to himself if perchance he happens to take the wrong car in traveling over the Pennsylvania railroad to any point south of Parkton, Md. "Oberwosm," I dare say, causes about as much humiliation to the Negro as anything I know of. This foolish matter of segregation as carried on by the Pennsylvania railroad on some of its lines is more horrible than the colored and white passengers riding on trains from Ballimore with the terminals at any point within the state, must ride in separate coaches. The law further calls for equal accommodation for all. This is not given, the colored passengers the sole sufferers. Then I be forced. Colored people are herded, as so many cattle into a portion of a car about one-third of the actual size, while the white passengers, no matter how few, are spread out over two-thirds of this area. This is objectionable, if from no other point of view than that of sanitation. Another disgusting fact is that even on the same roads you may be herded like animals, on a stationation and ride like other folks, to your destination, and that same day at another time, you may be herded like animals in riding to the same place. The reason is obvious, there is a conflict between the state law and the national law, relating to this matter. It is high time some effort should be made by representative bodies to increase the number of the legislature to repeal this confusing and disgusting law. ABRAHAM E. HALL.

Allen, real estate dealer, 1423 Pennsylvania avenue: "Noir, I do not think 'laws should be changed because God intended that man replenish the earth, and instead of a law to control birth, our people should be educated to give birth to children in the right way." Marse G.

Marguerite Robinson, secretary, Nat. Benefit Life Insurance Co., 1361 Pennsylvania avenue: "I think that poor people should be taught in birth control because they, as a rule, have large families, and many of them are not able to give their children sufficient care, their health is neglected, and the country" Harry B. Baton, 1513 Drulv Hill avenue: "I think the laws should be changed, to give poor people information on birth control, because many people are not trying to protect themselves and are injuring their health, their morals and the health of their children, simply because they are ignorant along these lines. I think they should be given scientific information." R. G. Wachsellan, 1425 Pennsylvania avenue: "In my opinion, a law to give poor people information on birth control would be good because it is a little unfair to children brought into the world, by parentage burdened to the extent that they have so many children that the cannot provide sufficiently for them." W. A. Williams, 1109 Pennsylvania avenue: "I do think the laws should be changed in that respect, because it is not the conditions of today poor people are not able to support large families." Palmer Nix, barber, 928 Pennsylvania avenue: "It being a divine command, that women should bear children, I think the law should men and women be encouraged to multiply and build a nation and not diminish it." Monroe S. Frederick, 1232 Pennsylvania avenue: "I absolutely think the laws should be changed so as to allow information and information control, for this reason—Poor people as a rule give birth to more children than do people who are able to take care of them, and I think if the laws were changed on birth control, it would be a hindrance to disease and poverty." J. M. Robinson, 2451 Woodbrook avenue: "You need not change the law if you do not want to. They all have it anyway. The question is, who will stand for its functioning, the wife or the husband?" L. L. Mullen, instructor, General Science, School 106: "Birth control under governmental, for state and family; but general dissemination of such knowledge to the crowd unprepared would be dangerous." Van Jordon, 701 Sharp street: "I is Christ's teaching that we should be fruitful multiply, not feel a birth certificate directly against the teachings of the Bible." E. F. Floyd, Jordon's Barber Shop, Sharp and Hill streets: "Birth consent is not a common come in conflict with the laws of Nature. I feel that all normal married women should have children." Wm. C. Gross, lilotype operator, AFRO-AMERICAN: "Laws concerning birth control should by all means be enforced, but proper persons could acquire this information. It is indeed a blessing to humanity; and to legally forbid the practice which would mean than to forbid research work on cancer." Miss Alma Kelley, 2018 Dudl Hill School, Killey Hill requires study from many points of view. But I have never thought that the laws of Nature, hence from God, could be placed in control by "How many famous men and women have been members of a large family, where a great deal of toil, privation and sacrifice were needed to survive in a place in life? We should not forget that he who feeds the sparrows and clothes the lily will never allow His own children to suffer." Miss Mabel Whiting, Executive Sce-rety of Y. W. C. A.: "While many poor people have more children than they can properly care for, they are not yet the control of birth would cause crime and in many cases death. The repeal of the present law would reduce child birth, but I could not favor such a law." Mrs. Terry Coleman, 2039 McCulloh street: "The institution of marriage was formed by God and sanctioned by God His plans." "Instead of the law of birth control, an act should be enforced requiring an institution for the care of pregnant women of large families who are not capable of caring for them." Mrs. Mascella Smith, 1729 McCulloh street: "A hard question to decide just what is best on the question of birth control. There are so many sides from which the exercise of birth control would certainly seem the only remedy for the prevention of disease, poverty, crime, and not seen so hideously maimed by hereditary taint that we felt that it were better had such persons never been born." "The God should not be questioned or controlled by man." Mrs. Thomas Wyatt, 1612 McUllohn street: "I certainly do not approve of birth control. The laws of God should have no hindrance Children, even ever so many, binds a family and brings to the court the poor. Birth control, the great crime and sin against the laws of God."

The single strand 840 yards in length is computed from the number of hanks of 840 yards each contained in one pound of the thread. For instance, if a pound contains 20 hanks of thread; if it contains 60 hanks it is 60. No and so on. Thus the number increases as the size decreases. The first sewing thread produced was composed of three strands of single thread together; the second, cotton sewing thread was composed of three strands of No. 30 single yarn; No. 40 was composed of three strands of No. 40 single yarn, and so on. Let¹, with the introduction of the domestic sewing machine, the necessity arose for making smoother, evener and stronger thread than was previously possible. The sixth, six cord thread was produced, and as the size and number were established it was necessary to make the thread composed of six strands the same size in diameter as the previous strand. For that reason the No. 30 six diameter of No. 30 the same as The ear will not grow above the head. A servant is not over his master. BIRTHDAYS DECEMBER 22nd—Murray B.

What Worries Them (Marcus Garvey In Jamaica Times) If you go to America, you can hardly tell who is a Negro and who is not; because you have half-white Negros; three-quarter white Negros, one-fifth Negros, one-eighth Negros, one-tenth Negros. Negroes have a mixture then caused by the advantages you have taken of us by bringing us within the pale of your civilization. You call us "coloured people." Indeed, we are coloured. The great American man is not the best who is white. That is why the white American wants to get rid of 'the black man so that it will not be a question of whether the American man is a mullato nation or a black nation. And then France; these two nations have got into trouble and cannot get out of it. You were sensible enough not to bring trouble home to England; that is why you are not here to the number of 10,000 this afternoon. If I were in America I would be addressing 25,000 people, because there is a real problem; it is a nightmare. Every white man in America can to bed thinking that on the next day A NEGRO WILL BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES "O. N. T." as the trade-mark on spools of thread means "Our New Thread." According to the Spool Cotton Co. New York City, about the year 1862, when sewing machines were invented, the thread was required that would be suitable for machine use as well as for hand sewing. The Clark Thread Co. developed such a thread in 1862, and the company sold the thread. Two years later—in 1864—George A. Clark hit upon the idea of abbreviating the statement to "O. N. T." and arising curiosity as to its meaning. Millions of persons use the meaning of thread without knowing the meaning of the letters in the trade-mark. —The Pathfinder. Christmas And Christ of Nazareth With our modern whirl and hustle, our struggle to keep to peace ever rising standards, in Christmas giving and festivities, there is not much time to think about it, but the lessons of Christ we forget as we listen out, but we modernized Yuletide music the vested choirs, which WAS once a man born Nazareth who now forstall a new doctrine of relations and who, because he clashed with the selfish money seekers of his hime, was condemned to death or a cross at Golgotha. That vague personality, "Christ the Son of God," has done much of those whose vices have made them sarcary for some Super-Being snatch them from the brim of a shell before hell death. However, the viciousness with courage to accept it, the insinuating personality is Son of the carpenter, Joseph of Arimathea the man who had the highs and lows of Jerusalem who drove the money changers from the temple; who told a scarlet woman that she was as a god as her hypothetical brother, who certain conscience stricken young man that the honest and manly thing to do with money which he had not earned was to back to those who had told it. And yet to celebrate the birth of this Man who had nowhere to lay his head while in this world, there will flow millions in gold amid a medley of church music, rum parties and an orgy of Christmas music, good and bad, and will teach poor women and all poorer homes, wrecks of despair after the festivities are over. The Things We Do "In His Name" Despite the mockery of the things we do in His name, how human beings is coming more and more der a system of human relations which He gave the world. Efforts of selfish men and women to create a halo of imprical pretend that we might not get the import of His vital doctrine, have been of no avail. HE CAME TO THIS MAN. MON HUMAN LEVEL FOR ALL MEN AND WOMEN OF ALL RACES AND PREVIOUS CONDIDENTIAL RACES. SIBLE FOR EVERY HUMAN BABY TO HAVE A FAIR START AND A CLEAR TACK FOR AN EQUAL RACE IN LIFE. It is not come; but it is on the way. During the 1925 years since his birth (in 3 B.C.) there are certain milestones which signal the march toward philosophy He promises. The call he makes to his gallery slaves and grip upon the world; the French Revolution which started the tyranny of Kings down the tobogan; the American world doctrine that "taxation without representation is wrong"; the abolition of slavery; the birth of the Russian Soviet government, that those who do not work not rule and those who work shall. These things do not sound much like the milk and water religious dogma of today, but they are the foundation principles of the doctrines of Loving and Loving whose birthday we will celebrate next Tuesday. EVEN IF CHRIST SHOULD COME TO THIS WORLD TO DRESS OF CHRISTIANITY, THE MEN AND WOMEN LOUDEST IN CELEBRATING HIS BIRTH WOULD CONSPIRE TO CAST HIM IN PRISON FOR HIS COMMONS AND BLOSEHISTOE DOUTRINES. If you do not believe this try preaching His doctrine in any public forum. Try telling all the people what you want and give it back to poor working men; try telling ministers of the gospel to limit their worldly possessions to one coat; try inducing modern Pharisees and Publicans to be more selfless and see if you do not land either in jail or the insane asylum. Yet as long as we are making progress towards the economic and social realities, we are cause for happiness, celebration and hope. While the custom of taking the product of the working man's toll from the market is a charity basket for Christmas is a perversion of the spirit of Christ. It is still one of the ways of salving human misery, and it is a touch of happiness to most of us, something to the poor this Christmas. Especially should we do something to make children happy while they can be really happy. The redeeming feature of the modern Christmas is what it does, and it does for them snaps if it is worth all the money which will be spent this year. John L. Berry, one of Baltimore's most conservative business men, has come to the conclusion that business firms should be a requisite for the establishment of a strong network of enterprises in which young colored men and women can find employment. Even small white business companies must compete with the buying and selling powers of the big chain and combination enterprises, he says, and just as it has been necessary for the business companies to a tariff wall to lay the foundation for her infant industries, so it will be necessary for colored men and women to raise some kind of a business connection to the business connected by the group. It will take no profound thinking to conclude that Mr. Berry is right. You often hear it said that Negro businesses should not expect to get the trade of the group unless they can compete with white concerns. But some specific cases, will never be able to compete with white concerns until they pass through the same development period that white con- Some day, perhaps, there will be great Negro chain combines reaching into millions, distributing computers and computers and factoring it WILL BE AFTER THERE IS INITIAL SUBSIDIZING BY THE GROUP TO THROUGH THE INFANT STAGE It may mean a few more cents on the price of a dress or pound of cash.

Conflict Russell testified that the $2,000 was paid to him in way: $500 as expenses for the Redmonds and Col. Patton to Jackson and $1,500 to Perry Howard in Washington.

A—Most respectfully no; most respectfully no. He has paid any money in Washington or any place else.

They are to carry the findings of the conference and their respective organizations and to the people of the country at large.

One Alabama county was cited as spending $85 per capita on hi schools, as compared with $8 for each Negro child. In this concession, Dr. John Hope presided at Mortorhouse College, Atlanta, said last night: "Negroes in Georgeta are relatively more poorly educated now than in 1881. Then Negroes were taught exactly the same as whit; people but not blacks. The blacks vanished that the Negro is receiving relatively poor education today. "The theory of white supremacy is largely responsible for injustice to Negroes in education." said Miss Mabel Carney, of Columbia University.

'Very truly yours,' 'CALVIN COOIDGE.' WASHINGTON. — The old notion that the American Negro might become extinct has been disproved by modern health improvement, declared Louis I. Dubin, Statistician of the Metropolitan Police, at Monday morning's session of the National Interracial Conference, in the Auditorium of the Department of the Interior Building. — Does not mean that the future will be easy. There are still plenty of disabilities to overcome but the fight is now far from a hopeless one. We need to adapt himself to American life. "The general death rate of the Negro is still about two-thirds higher than that of the whites. It is more concentrated at the younger ages and is due to causes which we understand and which, fortunately, lend themselves to control. The prevalence of tuberculosis among Negroes is the cause of death among them and its prevalence is three times as great as among whites. On the other hand, tuberculosis is rapidly declining at the same time. The conditions as pneumonia, malaria, typhoid fever and pellagra. "His expectation of life today is the same as that of the white man only thirty years away." **Housing** The housing of Negroes in American cities, and the problem occasioned by the northward migration of the topic is discussion at Tuesday afternoon's session of the Conference.

Says Democracy is going to be impossible in America until the country faces the problem of Negro dischisement in the South, declares Senator A. C. P., speaking before the Conference. "Of all the questions which come before the Senate, the most that of political power on the part of Negro American citizens, occupies, to my mind, the key position, said Dr. K. A. C. P., the most important problems of Negro occupation, housing, and recreation, all depend upon political power, and not as many seem to understand the same way, we are going to abolish mobs and lynching and have a more equitable administration of law and order and more normal race relations, only if we can establish in the United States a Democracy upon the future, the kind of government should have a voice in its own government."

Spalding, president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of Darham that with what a recent presidential election in the balance his company did the greatest volume of business he has rotten it will prove so, he said, but if you go out optimistically it will turn out to be a myth.

CHURCH To the Afro-American: I have very great pleasure in wishing a Merry Christmas to all of women. I always try to think of the special meaning of Christmas to particular groups. Only in a general way does it mean the same thing to everybody. It has special meanings that are not always found out to everybody. I am asking myself the question this morning what Christmas really means and what it ought to mean in the way both of privileges and of duty to the particular group of people to which be belongs. I am asking myself the meaning that Christmas has for me and my own group must lead to the wiping out of all the false, artificial and un-Christian barriers and lines that now separate in unnatural ways between the peoples to whom and for whom Christ came. and if Christmas means this to me. I suspect it must mean it, I suspect it will have to mean it to all the world before the Spirit of Christ has full sway in the world. P. T. A.

"This need for providing training for parents is being recognized by different groups and organizations all over the country." stated Mrs. Carr in her talk on topics of parenting. Most parents have learned how to bring up their children chiefly through the slow process of experience against a background of tradition. "Ideas of the nature and needs of the child have come and developed within father through the channel of books and lectures, but the majority of parents have had no special training to help them in their relationships with their children, they are often troubled with questions they could not solve." This little test by Dr. Bess V. Cunningham, of Teachers College, Columbia University, is the best way to be given during the school year, to lead to a regular course in Child Study. The association is planning to formulate a set of questions to fit the needs of children and parents. Meanwhile the principal and other teachers of the faculty plan to take a course in child study from the United Parens Association. New York will be the completion they will gain a certificate.

Scott Hubbard, white, a friend and neighbor, from whom he was alleged to have borrowed $2,000 with which to purchase the office in custody, indicted with the four defendants. Only One Ballot The jury was evidently never in doubt concerning Perry Howard's innocence. He was acquitted on the first ballot, but the second ballot was right and on the second ballot the vote was 11 to 1, for acquittal of the other defendants. The oral instructions given by Judge Holmes were to the effect that the judge had to take taking $1,500 in Washington, as Russell claimed, because that alleged offense took place in the District of Columbia, and that the judge had to take the jury also believed from the evidence that Howard had knowledge of the conspiracy to violate the patronage act. Howard made an admirable witness in his own behalf in the straightforward and good humored throughout the grilling cross examination by Lester G. Pant of Holly Springs, Assistant District Attorney. His attentiveness was having nothing whatever to conceal. MISSISSIPPI REFUSES TO NAME NEGROES ON JURY JACKSON, Miss. (ANP). — Judge Wiley H. Potter over-rated the motion to quash the indictment against S. D. and S. R. Remond, who claimed that the Fourteenth Amendment were no Negroes were on the grand jury. George P. Luckett and Elmore D Greaves, members of the board, who draw the names of the grand jury and any other under any circumstances draw the name of a Negro to serve on the grand jury E. D. Fondren, Hinds County Circuit clerk, testified that he held the position of judge and had never known of a Negro doing jury service since the present state constitution was written in 1890. Howard Grateful For Vindication "I am grateful to the white citizens of Mississippi for squatting in Perk, Howard laughed shortly before boarding a train, for Washington. and willing, at all times and under all circumstances, to submit any acq. to the calm and dispassionate judgment of the white men of my native state, confident that he will be well treated, and my heart is filled with gratitude for the exemplification of this faith as manifested in yesterday's jury "I am ready and willing, at all times and under all circumstances, to serve the purpose of mine to the calm and dispassionate judgment of the men of my native state, confident that I will be fairly treated and treated with gratitude for the exemplification of this faith, as manifested in your government's jury verdict." The Next Trial At Meridian Court The next case in which Perry Howard figures, in event the coroner declares the prosecution will be at the Meridian court term in March when J. C Buchanan, former United States marshal, recently summoned removed from office when he was indicted at the Blokoi court, will be arraigned for trial. Government attorneys say that the Buchanan and others have been against Howard by the Russell brothers, and attorneys for the defense emphatically. Able Attorneys For The Defense Able Attorneys For The Defense Howard, Patton and the two Red- monds evidently do not believe in the mill" for they employed three of the oldest criminal lawyers in the state. J. W. Cassidy of Brookhaven, James D. Thames of Vickersburg, and Edward F. Frisher are comparative newcomers in the courts in this section, having recently moved here from the delta, where he established a reputation in handing cases. Messrs Thames and Thames have figured in some of the most notable criminal trials in the state. Naturally, it cost the defendants a rather nifty sum of money to employ three lawyers in the court that friend of Howard in Washington and other parts of the country, contributed liberally to his defense. WASHINGTON, D. C. - Perry W. Howard arrived early for 7 a.m. on Monday, May 1. He was elated over his victory. Shortly after his arrival Mr. Howard called at the Department of Justice. He would make no statement regarding his call nor did he recommend on the outcome of his case. He was busy most of the day at his offices at 1214 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, receiving congratulations upon his acquittal.

Congregational singing adds greatly to the religious spirit of church services. In this day of highly specialized singing on the part of choirs more of less well trained, the pew has almost hanged its harps of song upon the willows of silence, and in many cases the resulting depression and the spiritless depression of public worship, exclusively prove that such silence is not golden. Evangelical churches, as originally planned and organized, made congregational singing an integral and important part of a long time the whole-soul-spirited singing of the congregations of our churches was one of the most important works we would do in recent years, however, we find the laity in the pew depending almost entirely upon the choirs of the several churches to worship, now the pew expects the choirs to sing the praises that should come from the hearts and voices of the multitude. We attitude on the part of the church membership se 3 to indicate that the congregation's attitude is similar to that taken by the inhabitants of the church for prayers for the group in the medium of prayer-wheels which are spun. The spinning of such wheels by expert 'winners is believed by many to be acceptables to their gods. Here in Baltimore there are several causes for this falling off in the enthusiasm of local churchgoers to attend tunes universally used have, become hackneyed and musically trite. Another cause for this lack of concern is the little opportunity for the _congregation_ to learn new hymns or hymnites. A third cause for the _paparazzi_ to attend boards group singing is the little attention paid to music of any kind by the pastors of some churches. The singing in any church can be better cooperative support of an earnest, sincere minister. This is true of the singing done by the choir, but done by the congregation. Many of our local ministers, while as a group not particularly musical, have given every effort to the development of good church music. The Reverend George F. B. Bragg rector of Saint James Episcopal Church, being dean of local ministers of all denominations, has always labored to have first class music in his church and that direction have not, been, in vain. Rev. Ernest Lyman, the dynamic pastor of Ames Methodist Episcopal Church, founded the development of good church music. The Rev. Frederick Douglass of the Cosmopolitan Ames church, one of the best choirs in this city, has done much to develop his group musically. The pastors of the Presbyterian church have had choirs that have been creditable. And for a number of years, the Catholic choirs, particularly the choir at St. Mary's church, have given good music services. Bishop A. L. Gaines worked heroically as a pastor to have first class musical programs at his church. He was a longtime pastor, and the "Seven Last Words of Christ" by Theodore Du Buis were given successfully at churches in charge of Bishop Gaines. The late pastor, John C. Johnson, years pastor of the Union Baptist Church, was sponsor of high grade music. So good choir music is no new thing here in Balkmore, as folks would like to have us believe. The Reverend Charles E. Stewart now the minister at Trinity A. M. E. Church, who was a choir teacher, is the teacher of music at the Agricultural and Technical College located at Greensboro, North Carolina, is doing much to develop a renewed interest in choir music through a system of distributing mimeographed copies of the words of the hymns to be used in the services on any given Sunday. This simple device has greatly improved the group singing at Trinity A. M. E. Church. Nothing serves to create a feeling of Christian fellowship as does good spirited congregations singing. May they be treated with the family grow in favor with the congregations of our churches. Such singing does not at all interfere with the usual and regular worship and family time is given at each service for the singing of anthems, and these anthems are sung while the congregation is in a spiritually receptive and worshipful mood, and entirely unaccompanied by the minister admonishing the congregation to lay alms or tithes upon the altar. With the thousands of young people in our community who are receiving at least elementary school classes, the hundreds who are taking regular vocal lessons together with many faithful members of our churches blessed with excellent natural voices, there is absolutely no excuse for not singing done by local congregations. Messrs. White and Tutt, theatrical producers who for a number of years have spent time, labor and money in their efforts to produce worth-worthy plays, have offered, "Deep Harlem," which has been playing at the Royal Theatre, succeeded in producing a race play that has many features that are common to all the plays in these features is the music as written by Joe Jordan. Mr. Jordan has for a number of years been writing successful music but needed for "Deep Harlen" is musical. Mr. Jordan has combined the best rhythmic designs of modern Negro music, with beautiful inclusions all of which the composer has has helped to create. The idiom of harmonic progression, without the usual hackneyed use of the tonic seventh chord with a lowered leading note as an endnote, will written and is sung by a well-balanced chorus of real singers. Messrs. Whitney and Tutt have assembled a group of singers who have the power to use with intelligence and skill. The ensemble work is splendid and in addition to the several well sung ensembles, excellent bits are done at one time by the group and the use by a female quartette does some first class work in the singing of some spirituals. The work is good but the music is better. Messrs. Whitney and Tutt have made a step forward in the Negro show world. Their long years of plodding has been rewarded. They are to be congratulated on what has been accomplished in "Deep Harlen." Ivin Hughes and his orchestra are deserving of much credit for the musicianly manner in which they plained, the somewhat difficult score. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1928 "Pocahontas" "Pocahontas' as given at the Doughess School Auditorium recently, under the direction of Miss Lillie Mae Mills, was a very creditable performance. In addition to the excellent choral work, several' promising solo voices were heard. The entire performance, one and half marked the beautiful applause given the young artists by the large audience which was present.

CRIPPLE AT BAY VIEW HOPES FOR KIND XMAS Walter Hopkins, 15. Mother Dead, Father Missing, Deserter Help With the Christmas season fast drawing near—the time when children begin to anticipate presents from good old Saint Nick. Walter Hopkins, 15, enters the school when he can enter the Vocational School and learn a useful trade. Once confined to a 'wheel chair, Walter can walk now with the aid of a crutch and will be discharged if he goes. What should he go? The city would send him to his father if he could be located. If someone would pay his board, a home could be found for him and he could then attend the vocational school and learn trade. He might be working trade—maybe shoe repairing or tailoring. Walter Hopkins is a very interesting boy and has a bright ...nny disposition. is a sixth grade scholar and very obedient. has a few more reserving cases where help is needed. At this season of the year, it is a wonderful thing to be able to give and help others. Probably no one person would care to assume such a responsibility, but some society or organization could do THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1928 Five new schools are in the building program for Baltimore, accord'g to Director Francis M.

ATHENIANS BEAT HOWARD QUINT Dunbar Gets Soccer Crowns HOWARD DROPS GAME TO ATHENIANS, 40-24 Bisons Display Good Passing Attack But Are Weak In Marksmanship HOWARD TEAM IS NEW The Howard University cagers, displaying a good passing attack, but falling badly in marksmanship, bowed before the Athenians at the New Albert auditorium, Friday night, by a 40 to 24 score. It was a good game, the score may not indicate. It was fast and clean, only one foul being called on Howard while seven were assessed the local quintet. Howard star off with a rush, rallying the first points when he joins center, and formed himman star, flipped a swift over the cords. one of the four. A goal by Captain Joe Jackson, a pair by Powell Sheffey and a single by Bill Baskerville, put the Athenians out in front by an 8-2 margin. Taylor, the Howard floor, however closed up this gap by bending neat goals from the floor. Todd tallied for the Athenians and then tallied for the Athenians and "Fraun" Wood of Howard crashed into the scoring column to keep the count at 10-all. Todd Breaks Tie Two goals in rapid succession by Todd brought the Greeks from their precarious position and at this point Coach "Ev" Butler yanked Hackett, placing Todd at center and Veney at guard. While Baskerville Sheffey counted once each for the Athenians, this new combination held the Howard clan only one point, a foul shot by Van Harris, this half end in with the Greeks looking down from the second deck.

Howard Misses Fouls The Greks increased their margin when Sheffey and Baskerville began gunning. Captain Wood, Hinton and Beasley furnished the remaining scores for the Bisons. Howard had eight tries from the foul line and made good on only two. The Athletians missed their one chance for a free throw. Erratic shooting spoiled Howard's chances for a large number of scores. Hinton missing a number of sets. Did Whyte and Hanks beesley, Taylor and Wood moved the shining lights for Howard, Captain Wood's handling of the ball in passing bringing forth applause from the stands. Sherfer, Todd, High Men Sheffey, Todd, High, Sheffey and Todd with six field goals each tied for high scoring honor followed closely by Basker with five markers.

At half time the count stood 27-13, for Carlisle. The pace that the colored boy set was unmistakably too fast for the Grays, last year's S. Atlantic charges. As the Carlisle tossers came on the floor, they presented a very striking picture with uniforms of Black and White. The feature of the night was a free admission for ladies before 8:30 and 2:00 of the day. The guests of the grand gate crash and were rewarded with a souvenir pennant. To Play Frat Teams The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will be met in the second game on December 20. For their third big game of the season, which incidentally will be on Friday, December 28. instead of Thursday, the 27th, the Lichtman Court stars have scheduled the XI Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha, of Wilberforce University. Prominent among the players of the Psi Phi fraternity Wu Fang Ward, star of the Wilberforce varsity team, and Redden, also a varsity man. This team is on a tour during the holiday season and expects to play a number of games. TUXEDO TIGERS NIP TITAN BEARS, 34-31 TUXEDO TIGERS NIP TITAN BEARS, 34-31 Victory Is Fifth Consecutive One For Tuxedo Aggregation EAST ORANGE, N. J. — The Tuxedo Tigers defeated the Titan Bears of East Orange, on the latters' own court, Friday night, 34 to 31. The Tigers took an ear lead and maintained a safe lead throughout the couch. The count at half time was in favor of the East Orange quintet, 14 to 11. It was plainly seen soon after the game started that the Bears were no match for the Tigers. Archer and Work were the leading scorers for the visitors. The lack of the score led to fall with those Tuxedos won over their ancient rivals. The Bears had no attack which was at all bothersome. They were also exceptionally poor under the basket and missed various opportunities to score. The Tuxedoes were not slow to take advantage of this Titan handicap and with excellent team management to run the Orange defense, it is the fifth straight defeat for the Tuxedos and their second defeat over the Titan Bears in one week. ---and don't to bring Daddy and U a box of their Favorite THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1928 DUNBAR SOCCERITES WIN PAIR OF TITLES light and Heavyweight Teams Go Through Season Undefeated OPPONENTS SCORELESS Triumphs Mark Third Successive Year Of Wins SOCCER HEAVYWEIGHT TEAM DUNBAR J.

Last week the Commandeurs were defeated in an extra five, minute period by the Original Philadelphia Flashes five and the team has been discontented in the extreme work of the Commandeurs center. It is felt that the club should have won both games they lost this season, and efforts will be made this week to develop a real center, the only weak link in the Bronston New Hope Al Bronston, crack halfback on the championship West Philadelphia High School football team, will return to the Commandeurs' squad as a center candidate. Bronston is one of the heaviest men on the squad and is a great defensive player and a great shot. Bronston will not play any basket this season, but is in good condition, having completely recovered from an injury to his arm, which kept him out of the last two football games his high school played this season. On Christmas day the Commandeurs will play the Dagmar Five at the Y W A. This is bound to be one of the most bitterly fought games of the season, as Dagmar is the Commandeurs' greatest rival in North Philadelphia. This game will be played on a neutral floor by request.

Forced Weight Making Said To Have Caused Death Of Joe Gans Writer Blames Billy Nolan For "Old Master's" Demise Popular Baltimore Champion Mourned Eighteen Years, Friday, August 10th. --- Basketball! THE NIGHT AFTER XMAS Kappa-Alpha-Psi Fraternity Champions of Howard University FEATURING DENNIS SIMPSON, JEROME WOODS, THAD WHITE, JONES AND SILVERIA —VS.— Athenians Baltimore's Favorites Wednesday, Dec. 26 New Albert 8:15 P. M. Preliminary—“Y” DEFENDERS vs. PALACE ACES 8:15 P. M. IKE DIXON'S ORCHESTRA ADMISSION: 50 CENTS Next Big Athenian Game—Friday, January 11, 1929—New Albert Eighteen years ago this Friday, Joe Gans, Baltimore's pride, and called by many the greatest lightweight ever to enter the square. circle, fought his last earthly battle. Today, looking back upon the balmest of the little fighter's years, Hype Izoe feels that the death of Gans can be definitely traced to the evil of "making weight". Gan A Martyr Igoe says: "Too much care of lightweight weighing conditions cannot be exer- they are the little fellows who feel the pinch of weighing more than any other class. Remember the Old Master. Joe Gans died a martyr to weight-making. There was no excuse for it on earth, and poor Joe paid with his life for the sake of a few extra ounces. He was responsible for Gans's sad end. At Goldfield he induced Tex Rickard and the other men promoting the fight that the Marquis of Queensberry rules said that a lightweight should make 183—WITH ALL HIS FIGHTING TOGS OOI. That is to say, shoes, socks, trunks and GLOVES." Yes, that's what Nolan got away with. Made Joe count in the gloves too. Of course they weighed but six ounces cach, but it went into grand. 'al of tack and the prob-blem in at ONE THIRTY-ONE or less. Joe was trying—trying to get a little money to make his last days on earth a bit sunnier. That is one story of forced weight-making and its fearful result. Died 18 Years Ago Gans died at his residence at 1028 Argyle avenue. Wednesday, August 10, 1910; at 8:08 a.m. and was buried the following Saturday from the Whatcoat E. Church, with white and black mourners in attendance. He was 34 years old when he died and won his lightweight crown, which he held undisputed for seven years, by knocking out Frank White, with seconds of first round of their bout. Broken down in health he relinquished his title to Battling Nelson, white. What Newspapers Said Newspapermen were effusive in their eulogy of the deceased pugilist, Harry Smith, writing in the San Francisco Chronicle, said: "Gans represented what the prize ring has always lacked - the hater in his place. Further than that the hater in his place of box rather than of fighting in its hardened aspects, Gans did much to keep the game in a healthy condition. It is because of these features that the death of Gans has attracted so much attention, not only from followers of the game but from the world at large. "The modesty of Gans was a trait which has been commented upon far and wide. Never if he knew it would Gan intrude where he thought his company was not wanted, and when conditions compelled him to meet strangers, he conducted himself as a gentleman in every respect. This attitude we" unfailing and the championship never caused him to Stand At Top Writing in the Baltimore Evening News, Jack Carroll said: "When a man who dares to undertake the writing of pugilistic history sets to his task, among the greatest fighters the world has ever produced, he must rank well towards the top the name of Joe Gans. He is considered, when every angle is noted, the greatest fighter who ever stepped between the ropes and those who have dared to put others atop him have mentioned mighty few." Master Of Ring Tactics The the Baltimore Evening Sun appeared that, "Where is no question of the position that Gans will occupy in the history of the ring. He was one of the greatest lightweight that ever lived. He was a consummate master of ring tactics. He was exceptionally skillful, was a clean, hard buncher, and could hand out a short jolt scarcely: less effective than Fitzsimpson. Gans shunned the notoriety which involved companies fistic distinction. It will be a long time before we shall look upon another such lightweight." JOHNSON STARS VIN AGAIN ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. — The Johnson Stars defeated the North Side Triangles, 31 to 27, at the All Wars Memorial court here, Friday night.

Blue and While machine rolled roughshoot. over the South Jersey Flashes last night in a game devoid of thrills, other than the satisfaction of local followers of the team in seeing the precision with which the plays were executed and the rain of field goals from all angles of the court in the big gym. The final score was 62-12. Not that the Flashes were such a terribly bad team, but they simply were bewildered by the fast passing and expert cutting of the "Y" sharp-shooters. The defensive power of the "Y" was a compliment to McArthur and Willis who field the Flashes to four field goals, only one of which was sobered under the beset, the other three being of the long distance variety. With Durant, the 6-foot-2 center, getting the tap-off the "Y" scored almost at will and among the nine players who saw service, he was sighted every second from the floor. John Aldrich led the slaughter with seven field goals, followed by Durant with six, Beven, five, Wills, six, Foster, five, Williams, three each, and Davis one. Brown, the "Y" captain, was out of the line-up. 100-15 This was the second game of the week in which big scores were made by the "Y" dribblers, the first game with the Parkside A. C. (white) ending in a 100 to 15 count in favor of the Y. In this game Brewers field goals tied Aldrich, his regular running mate, accounted for ten. The "Y" team will be given its first real big test this Friday when they play the Wissahickon "Snoe Marvels" for mGermantown. On Christmas night the Phantom of the Apocalypse make even bus loads of rockers to the shore for their annual outing and clash with the Big "Y."

WASHINGTON. — Despite the meager attendance which greeted the winners of the awards in Football and Track, Saturday night, Coach West addressed the student body and mentioned the fact that Howard's re-entrance to the C. I. A. A. was beneficial and would serve as an incentive to resuscitate the waning spirit of athletic competition in the university. First Call For Track After reviewing the season's games, he remarked that C. I. A. A. teams were beatable hence students should back their various teams for their alma mater. He announced that Track season was near and he expected one hundred candidates to report for pre-season conditioning with the object of putting every ounce of talent into the championships emblematic of athletic supremacy. Playing the game fairly, he advised, was essential. Coach Praised Dr. E. P. Davis, president of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, announced that Harry Webb had been elected captain for the next football season and Lois Williams, for Track. Captain-elect Webb spoke rather briefly and paid tribute to Dr. Charlie West who accomplished almost the impossible by grooming the edge of a national championship. Baxter Don Goodall also emphasized the need for more team work and intra-mural athletics. **Sweaters & Letters Awarded 30** The following were awarded with sweaters, certificates, letters and gold footballs: — Marshall, Mack, Young, Hawkins, Haves, Cole, Payne, Salle, Simpson, Sayles, Stokes, Drew, Webb, Dan Brown, Captain Ross and Manager Conner.

Derby Jockey Dead LOUISVILLE, Ky., (ANP.) — Babe Hurd, famous jockey in the early eighties who rode Apollo to victory in the Kentucky Derby at Louisville in 1883, died Friday at Long Ridge near Lexington. He was also a great steepechase rider. There are only a few of the old timers left. During the recent races in Louisville, there were two noted colored jockeys present. William Walker who rode Ten Brook in the famous race between Ten Brook and Molly McCarty, and William (Monk) Overton, was present as a trainer. Bears Are Favorites As Loc al "Friendly Rivalry" Be gins KAPPAS HERE NEXT The thunderous noises that will be heard in the Northwest sections Friday night will not be the echoes from the South American battlefront, but the reverebelations from the fireworks set off by the first game of the annual Morgan College-Athenian series. This is the most desired game or either team's schedule. The Beats led by the incomparable *Larry Jones*, have manhandled the "Friendly Enemies" for the past two seasons. They again loom as the logical winners since they have this full veteran strength from last season, plus more than promising material. The Athenians have probably their best team in many years and are conceding Morgan no edge. Defeat which were evidenced in the RB Club game, were probably absent against Howard.

THE PASSING REVIEW By BILL GIBSON THE BASKETBALL MENU for Baltimore fans is one that should tempt the most finical appetites of local lovers of that indoor sport, if you ask us what we think of it. Barring any disastrous developments Baltimore will have at least three "big teams" to furnish thrills on the wooden courts this year. Already the Scholastics have made their bow, winning one and losing one of their two games. The Community Yellow Jackets proved the conqueror and victim as well of this newest of Baltimore cage aggregations. THE ATHENIANS, for years styled "Baltimore's Favorites," have bagged a brace of games while dropping one to the "fast traveling Ritz Club of Pittsburgh." The RCS, having had several weeks intensive practice, will make their bow here this week when they stack up against the Athenians at the New Albert, Friday night. The Bears will be minus the services of "Rapp" Wheatley and Powell Sheffey, but in Babe Jones at guard, and Jack Spencer and Buford at forward, the latter from Sam Houston College, Coach Bill Taylor believes he has strength equal to any that was lost. "Lanky" Jones and "Pinky" Clarke Wheatley is understood, has worked out with the Methodists and may return to school in January, adding greatly to the strength and 'reach of the quint'. Running in top form the Morgan wrestling team will be in charge of collegiate championship in addition to winning the mythical city title. THE SCHOLASTICS, new in name, but comprised mainly of former Athenian players, is the latest quintet to make a name for themselves. The team will be led by Allor 'Chink' Wyatt, Johnny Lewis, "Mike" Rhodes, Mack Payne, and possibly "Moe" Veney, the Scholastics have a snappy little organization. They lack a tall center—in fact none of the members of the team are tall. They are not the team's discus team when playing teams of larger men. If the Scholastics are able to get a tall center and can book enough home dates they will furnish a splendid addition to basketball here in the city. If they cannot be able to get going. After a good start last year the anteriordan suddenly slumped, and then the bottom dropped out of their basketball basket leaving them holding only the handle. Chances of the Elks having a team this year are very slim and even if they organized a team later it would be no easy matter to find a team. With three teams, however, it is evident that the local fans will get to see some good teams in action during the present season. Among the teams that are expected to show up are Howard, Lincoln, Hampton, Va. Union, Morehouse, Alpha, Ritz Klub, Rockland Big Five, Renaissance, Carlisles, Va. Seminary and a host of other attractions. From the foregoing it is easily seen that the appetites of local basketball teams will be the end of the season and don't forget the host of smaller teams. That at least one good point for living in the Monumental city, eh? YE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of the Howard University "Hilltop," Baxten Don Goodall, takes his typewriter in hand long enough to pound out the following: His first issue of December 8th in the "Readers Column" there appeared a letter from the Director of Education of Bluefield Institute relative to the Howard-Morgan football incident, in which the Director proceeded to portray Howard players as everything "Before proceeding further may I state, that I believe I am expressing the opinion of the two thousand odd student here at the University of Michigan, that we should conduct upon any semblance of roughness or unsportmanlike conduct upon the part of our players toward their opponents. But there are occasional spontaneous outbursts, of which the University of Michigan accepts. Nor was Morgan blameless." But the newspapers seem to take an extra delight in greatly "But the newspapers seem to take an extra delight in greatly exaggerating any disorder among Howard athletes. No doubt Mr. Hall's team is not the best. The point at issue, however, is Mr. Hall's unjust attack upon Howard and Howard officials concerning a matter in which they were blameless. Mr. Hall's attitude as expressed in his letter to the "Afro" showed poor sportmanship and bad ethics to the less. "It seems to me that if he had a grievance against Howard players or Howard officials, he should have made his grievance known to the proper Howard, and not the ethical injustice of the official having a grievance against a sister institution and its officials to do, rather than engage in sensational journalistic tactics. "I feel assured however, that Mr. Hall's article of December 8 represents the opinion and not that of the rest of the faculty and student body of Bluedief. "Mr. Hall as a Director of Education is surely setting a doubtful example of leadership to those whom he is training to go out into the world to fight the great battles of life." G TROUBLE WITH DRIBBLING is in store for basketball players and officials if they are not careful, for already controversy over the dribble has taken place in the South. The officials insist that it makes for a free, passing game and should be retained in the game, as a guard uses it in clearing himself after taking the rebound for an outlet pass. Those, objecting to the rule, and there are quite a number, argue that the rule tends to have more fouls called and that it makes it much harder The latter part of the rule, that which reads: "The instant the ball comes to rest in either one or both hands, or touches both hands simultaneously, the dribble ceases and the player must either pass the ball or throw for goal. A player may pivot after a legal dribble." It would be interesting and educational as well if we might have an expression of opinion from some of the college coaches on the dribble rule, for it is evident that it is going to cause some trouble. Again we would like to call on a weaker winger of having opponents and scores. ADEQUATELY equipped at the games. Have a stop watch, open face watch, whistle, and whatever other things are necessary. Timekeepers, especially, are very important and should be prepared to carry out their duties efficiently. Scorers should CHECK over their scores at the end of each period to avoid error. Simple advice, this, but from what little we have seen this season, it is woofthey needed. IF YOU CAN'T SEE the man you're fighting, then brother, you in for a pretty thorough time of it. Recalling Kid Chocolate's fight with Scalafar a fortnight or so ago Hype Kge. New York sports chronicler, who saw the little Cuban battler after the fight, tells us. "Here is a strange thing about Kid Chocolate's fight. Many remember it getting in his usual style until the fourth round. In his dressing room after the fight he said in Spanish to his manager: "I didn't see Scalafar for three whole rounds. I kept looking for him but I couldn't see him. He must have so tiny in that great height. He must have so tiny so sexy and so many lighties! I was blinded. I could not see. I certainly did see Scalafar for three whole rounds." And then it was that the Keed's manager told him that he had been floored and almost knocked out with the first punch of the fight. It is easy to understand. He still was on his feet and only his subconscious mind was making him do the things he did. Tommy Loubroun fought Lee Lomski for six rounds without knowing that he was in the ring. He had almost the same experience that Chocolate had." G WE DON'T KNOW WHY, but for some unknown reason, boxing won't "go over" in Baltimore. In a town of this size it seems that there should be at least 1,000 ardent followers of things that few hundred more have in their minds. A few special interest in the sport. A following of this kind would make it possible to bring some worth while out-of-town battles here and in time put over a card with some of the headliners. He charged here seem reasonable enough and some good cards were be staged. While cities much smaller than Baltimore have thrived, Baltimore has remained stagnant. Maybe it might be well if the promoters tried to stage bouts less often, advertised them more extensively, and took a long shot on some national attractions. If that didn't bring Baltimore out of its lethargy, I mark its salivation is honest. AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT, to say the least, is the one to be tried by Brooklyn College and Long Island University eleven when those two teams meet next fall. Their plan is to abolish the point after touchdown, allowing six points for a touchdown as now, but allowing a extra point for every down made by offensive methods. Their proposal is to abolish the kickoff at the beginning of the second half, putting the ball in play third, instead from the point at which it was declared dead at the end of the second The experiment, naturally, will be watched with interest, although few leading mentors now favor its adoption. The point down on one line is that the proposed change in principally to the story over. It has been considered by some thinkers as too much of an individual effort, consequently the proposed change, which will make extra points more of a team effort, would obviously bring about a return to the old close formation plays, and doing away to a larger extent with the wide open, spectacular plays that have furnished thrills in the modern style of play. The change, in short, would con- practice. The two New York schools will be watched, and while they are not so large in the pigskin firmament the success of their experiment will be assessed. And still they come, the All-American football selections of the coaches the country over. To those coaches who have not sent in their selections yet may we ask that you send them in immediately? Notice the regularity with which our coming boxers slip from view? Too much competition at the start and they burn out—blooey. "Stoo bad." AND WE WISH ALL OF YOU THE MERRIEST CHRISTMAS THAT YOU WERE TRUSTED AND IF YOU NEVER BEFORE DESERVED ONE WELL TRUST YOU FOR THIS ONE AND DON'T HANG; UP ANY SOILED STOCKINGS. C.I.A.A. Tells Why Men Were Chosen HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. — Following their release last week of their All-Star football selections, members of the C. I. A. A. All-Star Committee this week, in a detailed report, state their reasons for the selections made for their mythical eleven. The committee membership included the W. C. F. Coppage, Dr. S. F. Coppage, Bill Gibson, E. P. Westmoreland, and C. F. Doneghy. In the following report the committee players work in the light of their work during the past season. "The tcep of 1928 ends was rather poor, though we had a few outstanding wingmen. Our criticism along with the pick-up this year in that position. So we find ourselves in the midst of good ends, some committing an excellent offense. While some stood out as excellent on the offense, the lacking in some respects on the defense departments. When we say offense we particularly have reference to being the receiving end of forwarding, and they cannot be discounted during the modern era of pig-skin rivalry. The Tackles The Guards There few outstanding guards this year. Robinson who led the pack last year got off with a bad start. He was taken away by a guard. All in all, he had a pretty punk year. His best performance was recorded in the State game at Petersburg. In the best game, he was H. Perkins of Hampton. What "Hill lacked in weight and bulk, he made up in a large measure with dash and aggressiveness, he made up everything. Hill had a knack of carrying his opponent so far forward out of the play in such a manner that his backs usually found wide gaps, and Williams of Va. State, were other good guards. Somebody's going to hear from Williams before he assesses th. qualities of an excellent guard. The Centers Here is a department that has been void of brilliant pivot men. It seems like the day of great centers has passed in the C. T. A. center, where the great centers of those great centers the mob has been used to watching. Patterson, that rangy A. and T. center, was playing center sometimes, other times he was subbing with a team of burgers left entirely from the scheme of things. We know of Patterson's ability as a center, but what can one do with a man whose regular assignment was his regular assignment. Both Young, of Lincoln, and Harrison, of Va. State, were good pivot men. Had the latter made an entrance, we have given a better account of himself. Now Gates, of Hampton, who took on more weight, was not fashy during the season's play, but reasonable. He knew his job and did it and he gets the assignment as center. The work of the backs who get placed here seems to be too conclusive to the team's light of their respective teams' play from the opening of the season from the beginning. The men getting the role here are: Overbry, of Va. State, and Lane of A. and T., backs. Fullback, Jones of Hampton. The Quarterback Byrd, of Hampton, was an excellent field general, wonderful ball carrier and receiver of award wounds. He played for Hampton, he called. Byrd's strong point is his generalship, but who would say that Davis of Seminary does not possess the wounds as often as he does as a pass receiver, but who would say that Davis is not a good pass receiver, though he isn't on the receiving end as often as he does as a pass receiver. As a receiver of punts and bringing them up, Byrd has the edge. As a ball carrier, it's all Byrd. As a blocker, it's all Byrd. Oh, Byrd is a half-back anyway. Most Valuable Player Armstrong of Shaw was a Islander who played for Hampton. You could take any player from the Hampton team and hardly miss him, unless it was Baker's State team and an institution rather than a team. Place and replace and it was practically the same. This is the only time St. Paul, was a man the Tigers could hardik be without. How would Fowler of Seminary be without Davis and view him? This is only a conjecture. But what would A. and T.'s position have been without Lane? What A. & T. did Lane did it. In many encounters Lane was the player who switched the fat out of the fire many times. He turned, seeming defeat into victory many times. He saved the day on many occasions for the Game and he had to do things at times when he was called on. When they had no kicker. Lane was called on to carry the ball on the first down with more than three seconds to the ball in the Agnies' territory. He was called on to kick, to pass and many times to general the team. A. & T. finished in a tie for fourth place with Lane assistance; without it the Aggies would have finished.

Girl Reserves entertained with a pre-holiday kid party last Friday evening at the home of Lillian Hardy on Drudh Ovene, who will be hosting the girls.

This is a question which not only adds to women's woes, but to men who have social obligations it pay. For instance, what are you going to wear if you are invited to an afternoon affair? If its a formal caption or musical it can't go in because you wear to business, nor an ordinary lounging suit, unless you happen to be one of those men who can make your dark business suit semi-formal by wearing the winged collar, striped tie with black patent leather shoes and spats. is not strictly proper for after-work wear it will pull you through. To be formal you should wear the striped trousers with the black jacket. You can be "correct" if you wear a dark suit of smooth material, not a tweed, flannel or homepun and you should wear it with a starched white collar front shirt. The shirt may be either plain toe or ordinary black paint of plain toe or ordinary black touch to with pants gives a finishing touch to this ensemble for the males. Tan shoes should not be worn as they are informal. Several weeks ago while attending a formal dance at the Oid Fellows' Hall, I was surprised to see a physician, who could well afford the correct footwear, sport a pair of high shoes that were blacked-bottomed but with tan to-5. This is against solo at the AFRO Saturday Club last week, and how he did sing, better than ever before. Guess that, because the tainty prettie was in town to meet the week. Thomas knows just to whom we are are referring, because he sang opposite her in the "Beger Prince" Opera which was given at Douglas High School in 1927. Much power to ya.

If you oudo, you will be mistaken either for the musician or waiter. Any invitation for evening affairs calls for dinner coats or if the occasion is extremely formal the tail coat which is coming back into being can be worn. However, the average holiday evening party in Baltimore and other cities where society will meet, is more a dinner jacket affair. A theatre box party, a dinner dance, a hotel or club dance are covered with the tuxedo. You really can't get along without a dinner coat or suit, as you have probably discovered by this time if you are any way socially included. It's no tonly a holiday necessity but an all the year round necessity and should be part of your wardrobe. Don't think that you can take a dark suit and dress it up with a wing collar, a black bow tie and patent leather shoes because to do this you not only admit or openly confess that you haven't a dinner suit, but you know what to wear with a dark blue suit. There are no compromises, possible. The best way out of a situation like this is to play safe and wear a tuxedo. The average man should have at least five suits in his wardrobe. This suit should be brown, gray, tuxedo and tweed for sport wear. While three pairs of shoes are necessary. They should be leather oxfords, tan sport and patent leather. The selection of headwear is left to the man, we should be prepared for formal wear, a derby is proper.

The play had to do with college life and was in three acts. The first act had as its scene of action a college campus on the opening day of school while a living room in some of the students' living quarters was the place of action for the second and third. Country Bumpkin Shown The story had to do with Aaron Boggs, a country "dick" who comes to college fresh from the farm. How Boggs is hazed and initiated into the atmosphere surrounding college life creates quite an ideal condition for humor at Boggs' expense. A little romance also runs thru along with the plot, because at the very place where the new college arrival lives, he finds his old sweetheart from his home town. Elizabeth, who is only waitress at the table at which Boggs eats, never makes things as messy as a fake telegram he leads the students to believe that Boggs is heir to $20,000. The story ends with Boggs' real identity discovered, but with Elizabeth and her old lover in each other's arms, beginning a renewal of their former sweetheart days. Miss Kozer Is Star Allison Koger, Elizabeth, the boarding house slave and waitress, easily took honors as the star of the evening. F. Carlton Moss, as Aaron Boggs, was runner up for dramatic honors. A realistic Hebrew second-hand clothing dealer could not have been more successfully portrayed that nwa了 by Osborne Dxon, as "second-hand Able. James C. Edward Carroll and Joseph Battie never played in their role of widewake college chaps, who were consistently on the chaps and kept the audience well entertained.

That the buying power of the group will be an important factor in wiping out many barriers which now confront them, is the opinion of a leading Baltimore banker in an interview with Henry Arnold, of the AFRO-AMERIC'N advertising department. Increased in stitens Another fact which will be watched is that the group is entering more largely into general utilities and other investments. In the past the income and consequently the buying power has been based almost wholly on wages as a basis. Investment in such utilities as gas and electric railways and street or securities, will greatly augment the income, he says. PROMINENT VA.

JONES Information Bureau: This department will be glad to furnish information as to employment, housing, business opportunities, stock and securities and enterprises in various sections of the country. Write Business and Industry Department. Complete Survey Of Business TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. All that service, price, and quality come the obsessive need in business to conclude of the investigators who conducted the survey of Negro business after having examined more than 3,000 businesses in thirty two cities and then states during the past months. The preliminary report was made here this week to Dr. Robert Newton, president of the New Business Institute whose auspices the survey was conducted. "Many of our business men too often confine themselves only to Negro market—a limited wealth and buying of the group served," the report reads. "Given a thorough knowledge of their businesses with fair capital, groes can succeed in the factors. This presents the most fruitful field for further expansion. Negro business enterprises, report reveals, predominantly this true in the retail field. Too few partnerships exist and not enough corporations have signed cooperative efforts as indicated in the advancement of the insurance and industrial fields. There is a certain emphasis on empowering buying among the groceries and drugstores. The individual operator, with limited capitalization, stock, credit and management, is acting as a cause because of the large store competition. This is general throughout the retail field, and is not peculiar to the Negro small merchants. On the other hand, the standing examples of skirder and profitable retails stores operated by individuals. Problems confronting Negro business men as stated by the Negro investors—Gordie McCoy, W.C. Bolton, M. Rodyd and J. H. Harmon—include the following: 1. More adequate financing and credit facilities for legitimate enterprises. 2. More direct and profitable investment in the funds of Negro fraternal organizations to help benefit of the race. 3. Elimination of overcrowding of retail fields with undercapped, poorly managed individual businesses. 4. Appreciation of the value of advertising. 5. Development of new fields of business. 6. The perpetuation of older businesses from one generation to the next. Too many die with the passing.

The term is supposed to be 7 months, but they put it in the contract. But cut the term short, funds run out. Somehow the time we've the money is gone. The time we've had five or six months of school." "Waitress In Summer" The girl worked as a waitress in summer to keep living besides she had to go to summer school for six weeks to keep her teaching certin- catee. In a mountain county of North Carolina another young colored school teacher, said that she began at $35 a month but would pay $5 more, she thought about $5 more certificate, raised by her ex-room or summer study. Her minimum school term is supposed to be 6 months. But like the teacher, she always learned from a 'shortage' of books which closes school after four or five months. Forty In The School. This North Carolina teacher had 40 Negro youngsters enrolled in little one-room school for seven grades. Only 25 attended the day I new, the schoolhouse was 'early yet gray from winter'. The building was about 18 x 20 feet with four rooms on two of each two floor. It was set half way up a two step road, with muddy red clay road and paths leading to it. The children used a privately owned oak in the hollow between their homes and school or a ball field around. and playground Not Enough Seats Not enough. Inside a schoolhouse we had furnished. There were a few rough wooden pew benches, not enough for all the students to once. There was a wooden portable blackboard powder on the floor. There was a rude wooden table for her desk. A round-barrel-shaped cast iron灶, stoked by students or teacher, gave heat. water and milk was the drinking fountain." White children in this district were brought by bus to their big new brick schoolhouse in the city. The colored houses had to walk, the canals four miles each way. the canals, between white and colored school houses throughout the South is marked. It stands at the state reports. The comparative white and Negro school properties. Negro schools are valued at one-ninth to one-twelfth the white ones. Some Teachers Have 70 Students. The teacher teacher had 55 students. She know of others who had to 70. Averages vary in the different southern states from 30 to 50 pupils per colored teacher; from 30 to 50 to 50 for whites. The school kept more months in these southern cotton and tobacco states, thousands of youngsters would not get there. Some states have no law requiring school. Those that have no protec- sion code for its enforcement, economic conditions above all, keep many thousands of white and colored children from getting an education. The marriages to follow the man, the woman, the work is so little that all "hands" are needed in the cotton field or tobacco patch at certain seasons. A colored welfare work in central North Carolina has now started up to help students from white and colored children from school after Christmas. Most youngsters got only 4 months a year because they had to help with the farm work so much. "The Negro rural schools are usually inefficient because hundreds of them are still taught in lodge halls, churches and buildings," says the Cottonola report. It adds that another cause of bad schools for Negroes "is the poor teaching, due to meager salaries paid." (Continued from Page One.) and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, had testified, Justice Hints suggested that the school administration allow Smith and three other students admitted with him, to attend, the medical school.

On direct examination, Smith outlined his course of action in painting and decorating the dean's desk. He submitted his credentials and money, he said. They were accepted and he was placed number 41 on the waiting list to be admitted after the first list of 60 names had been exhausted.
