(A. N. P.)—Since 1901 there has been no congressional reapportionment in Illinois. Because of that and because of the growth of the population of the state, Illinois has two congressmen-at-large, twenty-seven including those elected from the regular districts. But the disparities in the number of voters in districts that have come with the growth of population have finally become so great that there are some congressmen representing nearly ten times as many voters as Cook County, in which Chicago is located, has ten districts and ten congressmen. There are 365, 703 voters and five congressmen. The other five districts have 1,260,268 voters and only five congressmen. According to the vote cast for congressmen, the November election, the First District from which Oscar DePriest has been elected, is the third smallest in the state, having only 50,906 voters. Congressman Michael DePriest, the Seventh, cast 316,152 votes. In State Assembly Although several of the state representatives have indicated that they plan to put through a reapportionment measure at the coming election, the state leaders are not looking forward to it without some misgivings. There are, of course, enough Negro voters in Chicago to elect a congressman on any numerical basis. This is a difficult task, favorable to them. But the politicians are -顽icious that any general redistricting will result in a gerrymander that will cut out the Negro vote that it will not be taking. In that case, re-election of Mr. DePriest or of any other Negro would be improbable. Six In Legislature The chief safeguard which Negroes have is the presence in the state assembly of six Negroes. Alderdist H. Roberts is in the senate. The governor, Blackwell Harris B. Gaines, William R. King George Kersey, and William J. Warfield. Upon the shoulders of the senators, there is the credibility of seeing that in any plan of redistricting the Negro is not euchred out of representation in the national congress. The Illinois General Assembly has thirty-seven senators and 153 representatives.

Man Driven From Home By Irate Husband; Club s Child With Iron Pipe DAD MAKES VENGEANCE LEAP AT THE INQUEST Police Stop Father Who Sought To Attack Man At Hearing Lawrence Brockington, 6, lies dead with his head beaten almost to a pulp with an iron pipe as the result of a sordid case of illicit love, the ire of a jealous father and a brutal man who enticed him from play and killed him for spite. This is the story which sifted thru the testimony given in the Southern police station, and where John Brown, 22, was held at a coroner's inquest to answer the charge of murder as a result of the boy's death. Spite Killing According to the testimony of Laurence Brockington, Sr., father of the boy, Brown became too familiar with his wife, and he was driven from the home last week. On several occasions previous to this, according to Brockington, he had indulged undue attention to his wife and had ordered him to stay away. And then with tears in his eyes, he told how that on missing his wife, he should be happy, he went in search and was taken by police to the hospital just ten minutes before the speck of life left his only Names Brown To a nurse at the University Hospital the boy had whispered the name of Brown, "Hattie's Man," just before his death. He was given with testimony given by several boys playing with the lad just before the killing, that fastened the crime on Brown. At the hearing Emerson Johnson, 212 W. Cross street; Vernon Stewart, 1031 Plum Alley; Mason Wilks, 206 W. Cross street; all stated that they were playing with young Brookington when a man came along and spoke to him. "Where is your father?" they said the man asked, "do not know where?" they said. "Where is your mother?" the man then asked. "It is none of your business," the boy stated, whereupon the boy say the man started for the boy and they ran home. The threads of the sordid story of the kingship of Schreiber, white, 11, who stated that he was playing: near a cool tender when he saw two feet sticking out.

Brutal Beating Examination showed that besides a fractured skull the boy's head had literally been beaten to a pulp. Deep cuts over his face, a broken nose and lacerated arms, bruises and wounds, the damage of the man who had done the crime to death. Seeks Vengeance As Brown was being brought into the coroner's room at the police station, he was lunge for him, yelling out that something must be done. Police intervened to stop the summary vengeance the father had ordered. Mrs. Brockington was not at the inquest. An APRO-AMERICAN reporter was told that; she was ill at the scaffold fell, while the youngest Police on their direction, searched Brown refused a bail for the Criminal Court to be tried for murder.

Tho hampered and hindered, deceived and denied, Derided and scoffed at and hated outside, I will dare and not. Nature not fall, At face you with smiles at the end of the trail, For no-one shall stop me and none shall delay, As long as mere men carry faces of clay. Tho injustice submerge one and Wrong beat me down. I will rise to win. I will capture the crown, I will work and will strive, and will fight "I up the till to the top..." the light— To the light of achievement, and conquering all odds, I will sit in the sun and commune with the gods.

Gibson was doing when Jeannean J. B. Keyes was promoted to the captainship of Engine Company No. 4, 9st week. The veteran captain, who was retired last September after 27 years of active service is 52 years of age and amuses himself by decorating and making pocketbooks and handkerchief bags of leather, a trade which he learned while conceived in the Walter Reed Veteran and Hospital here. Capt. "Charlie" is as proud of his handiwork as he was of his team of flery steeds that he used to drive with pride up and down Pennsylvania avenue in the days when a fire meant a thrill for everybody. Nor did the hero of many fires have any misgivings because years have robed him of the pep and dash he once possessed. Of his former lieutenant could not have been greater were he his own son.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1928 JO JORDAN, COMPOSER HAD 7 MUSIC LESSONS NEW YORK—Although his name is seldom blazed in glittering lights with other stars, one of the most colorful characters connected with the American stage is Joe Jordan, a musician whose hits have been the making of some of the greatest luminaries of the theatre today. Fannie Price, Belle Baker, Blossom Quartet, the quartet of the most outstanding artists the white race has produced in the field of syncapation, started on their road to fame by using the song "Lovie Joe," a number that Jordan wrote on her scrap of paper, on her scrap of paper, Miss Brice, who has just completed her first synchronized picture for one of the largest movie firms of Hollywood, was discovered in a cheap burlesque house in New York. Florenz Ziegfeld who was planning his first "Follies." The producer looked her over and asked Jordan to write her a number which he did and she became an instant Jim-Crowed The irony of it all was that because the show was produced on the New York Roof, where Negroes were refused admittance, Jordan was forced to stage. Night after nocth he stood on the sidewalk in the rain and heard the orchestra above the dlp play encore after encore. He became so disgusted that he sailed for England vowing never to return to America. **TOOK MUSIC Lessons** Another odd but strange career is that the song writer only took seven music lessons in his life. In 1893 his mother was forced an old German instructor to pay for the music lessons of her son, the music teacher, Clementine. After seven lessons, the eccentric old musician caught Joe cheating in a memory exercise and refused to teach him longer under any inducement. He had devices and has since mastered many instruments and was connected with such musicians as Will Marion Cook, Cole and Johnson, Ernest Hogan, and Jessica Mauler have already the pioneer group in all of their undertakings.

Several Translations Cited To Show That "I Am Black, But Comely" In Solomon's Song Refers To a Sunburned Girl. Does the Bible refer to black people? A correspondent in the current "Crisis" says no, and interprets the song of Solomon — "I am black but comely. Oh daughters of Jerusalem" as referring to a sunburned jeewess and not to an African girl. Here is that writer's argument: "How many times has this famous passage from the Song been quoted by colored folk, and how few have ever looked into its history its true meaning. REV. ERNEST WILLIAMS MADE ADMINISTRATOR Late Wife Of Pastor Left Real Estate And Cash; $3,000 Bond Given "Dean Pickens, in one of his speeches, has asserted that the 'pub' in the sentence has been been by the race in the modern period, the original Hebrew, he says, it is 'black and comely.' "This is an amusing quip, but if intended seriojy, it has to stand on stand. It is the original way, be the 'but' was put there before any of the Nordic races could read or write. In the Latin version of the *librum* and *storum* of St. Jerome the Apostle, the fourth D. which is known as the Vulgate and has b-an used by the Catholic Church ever since, the words are given in the old form of all of us know enough to know that 'sed' is 'but'. Greek v. sic. "I do not happen; to have" the Sentacinti Greek version of the Bible at hand, but this is not the case with the Hellenized Jews of Egypt nearly three centuries before the birth of Christ, also shows as I remember, that the person who was black (or swarthy) but beautiful, Not only that, but several times the fairness of complexion of the person beloved insists in the virgin virtue the Song of Songs. Was She Black? "But that is not the only difficulty to be considered. Was the lady black at all that, is in the sense of being a member of a Negro race?" 'Many of the competent Hebrew scholars translate the word, not 'black, but 'swarthy'. So the late Professor Morris Jastrow wrote a book. The Songs Jastrow, a New Testament based on a Revised Text (Philadelphia, 1821), translates: 'Swarthy am, but comely. O maidens of Jerusalem, (swarthy) as the tents of Kedar, as Solomonic hangings. Heed not that I am swarthy the sun has scorned me, the keeper they made me; but my own shepherd I did not keep.' Sunburnt "And in a note he explains the word, the keeper of vineyards they made me, by saying: The reason is that the guarding of the vineyards during harvest time. In other words, the poor girl of the country, who has to stand in the sun guarding the vineyards, is esteemed the daughter of the daughters of Jerusalem who have the "aleness of those who guard themselves against the sun. It is another illustration of Veblen's theory of the sun, which preferred because it showed you did not have to earn a living by working in the sun." The Last Word According to Dr. James Mofattah whose new translation has been copyrighted as late as 2016, this Biblical scholar, the passage reads thus: 1. the passes 2. "I am dark, but I am a beauty, 3. of Jerusalem "mother," as tents of the Black men "beautiful as curtains of a Solomon "scorn me not for behark dark "for the sun has tanned me." Professor Moffaft uses "the insults" by he translates "tents of Kedar" thus — "the tents of Black men." Either way it looks as if the Bible id refer to colored folk, but in order to determine whether it refers to whether it is colored or Jewish, it seems, as if somebody will have to ask Solomon himself.

At this time the late Wm. C. McCard and Arthur Brosse, assistant City Solicitor, gave un active participation in the manner in which the transaction was handled, it is said.

It is probable that the native language of Jesus of Nazareth is the Galliate dialect or Aramaic or Aramaic tongue. "Aramaic" was often popularly confused with Hebrew. It was derived from "Aram," an old Semitic geographical term which was applied to Syria, Mesopotamia, and adjacent regions, although it did not originally Several centuries before the birth of Jesus, however, the Aramaic or Syriac language of the Near East, Palestine, perhaps as the result of trade and commerce, and by the time of Augustus Caesar, the spoken language among the common people who could no longer speak the language of the Old Testament.

"Sunburned Exchange Pulpits According To Race Relations Sunday Plans From the office of the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of the Church in America, has just been issued an interesting and suggestive pamphlet of information for use on Race Relations Sunday, February 1929.

A.'s, those of low churches and their auxiliary churches and many social agencies. "We feel that the widespread recognition of Race Relations Sunday is in writing about a better spirit of understanding and understanding between various racial groups in the United States and the hope the seven annual observance of the convention of general advance in interracial congregation." The first part of the pamphlet devoted to suggestions for the convenience of the day by churches in the region, includes an exchange of pulpits by white and gro ministers, visits of choirs, interacial meetings of young people's societies, special programs in women's groups, radio announcements, and church papers and feature stories in the local press. Following such suggestions is material on Negro life and conditions in Mexican.15 in the United States. The Negro section depicts the movements of this group from rural districts to urban employment and kinds of occupation and in a striking way points out evidences of progress and contributions made by this group. The Negro spirituals are widely known and used but the public does not generally recognize them as made by Colorize-Taylor. R.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER The New Year. 1910 We are now standing in the closing hours of the Old Year, with many memories crowding in-upon us, while we look hopefully out into the New We are now standing in the closing hours of the Old Year, with many memories crowding in-upon us, while we look hopefully out into the New. The Old Year with the seal upon the volume of recorded deeds of men and women, of races and nations, will soon be laid away much as the newspaper editor gathers his papers into a time and files them away for future use. So the Old Year is filled with joys and sorrows, success and failures, battles and vies, and the New Year is here, strong and hopeful lead us into life's tangled maze. To some of us the year has been a battle; to some of us a failure; to all of us it has been a struggle. We have written in the volume of 1905 is unalterably fixed, and can never be changed. Yea, what we have done "ill live on, for as Carleie says, "God himself cannot pell the deed that is done." None of us have realized our hopes and few have satisfied with the record. But the New Year given by Providence brings is another chance. The Old Year with the seal upon the volumes of recorded deeds of men and women, and nations, which were collected as the newspaper editor gathers his papers into a vol- So the Old Year with its record of joys and sorrows, successes and failures, stories is laid out.

P. job selling in South Carolina recently, got an earful from Representative Stevenson (Dem. S. C.) Mr. Stevenson told the committee that Uncle Joel was white, (who never wears white), who said collected $50,000 a year from federal jobholders for political purposes. Mr. Stevenson produced a letter written by P. S. Thurman, white, a rural police official charging that Parnell Meehan, a Tolbert agent took $500 from G. K. Kennington, Jr., as down payment on a Postmastership, and that Kennington was the "an awful time getting his money back," and only obtained a refund "at the point of a pistol." The letter said $10 was still owed on the refund. Postmasterships, said Mr. Stevenson, were sold for sums varying from $500 to $900. One bidder had to offer $1000, he said, before the job was landed. Perry Howard case fresh in our minds, we rise to ask where is the Honorable Mabel Willebrandt, Assistant U. S. Attorney General? South Carolina is closer to Washington than Mississippi. Mr. Tolbert got $50,000. She accused Mr. Howard of selling a job for $1500. Isn't the Department of Justice interested or is it only concerned with the job selling done by the colored Republican leaders? The Brookhart Committee of the U. S. Senate, investigating G. O. P. job selling in South Carolina recently, got an earful from Republican Stevenson (Dem. S. C.). Mr. Stevenson told the committee about Uncle Joseph W. Tolbert, white, (who never wears a necktie), who he said collected $50,000 a year from Federal jobholders for political purposes. Mr. Stevenson produced a $10,000 bill for a rural police official, charging that Parmell Meehan, a Tolbert agent took $500 from G. K. Kennington, Jr. as down payment on a Postmastership, and that when Kennington failed to pass the exam for the job he had had an obtained his money because he obtained a refund "at the price of a pistol." The letter said $10 was still owed on the refund. Postmasterships, said Mr. Stevenson, were sold for sums varying from $500 to $900. One bidder had to offer $1000, he said, before the job was landed.

African Golf Dally newspapers must base their jokes on us, so they sometimes refer to the game or dice as African golf and African dominoes, dice shooting or craps, is as old as mankind, the cave men probably played it with pebbles. Sophocles, an ancient Greek, said the game was invented by Palamedes during the siege of Trøy. In Greece and in Rome different modes of counting were in vogue. Romans were passionate gamblers. In the homes of the rich dice beakers were of carved ivory and dice crystal inlays with gold. The game was long before the birth of Chist, were great dice gamblers. Mark Anthony did not waste all his time with Cleopatra. He spent some of it playing dice. Augustus Caesar, Nero, who fiddled while Rome burned, and Claudius were caligula was a notorious dice cheater. The Emporodus set apart certain dice rooms and Verus played all night long. Tacitus tells of German barbarians staking their property against dice when they had gambles away all their other possessions. In France knights and ladies were given to craps despite laws against it. In China, India, and Korea, dice have always been popular and are so still. Last week Dr. Robert E. Bacon, dean of St John's College, white, at Annapolis, Md., imprinted a campaign against "rolling the bones." Said he, as reported in the Baltimore Sun: "I am gambled in dice games if I can. Only I know I know of an incident where a fresh man lost $18 in one evening." So this is "African golf," a game which originated among the Greeks and came down to us today by way of the Romans, Germans, English barbarians and the present-day college students. "We wunder whether Negro's prouverial love of craps doesn't belong, after all, to the class of myths which represent him also as the chief devourer of chicken and watermelon.

A Red Bandanna Under the title "Miring Mr. Hayes," the est enable Chicago Bee takes us to task for criti cising Mr. Roland Hayes' appearance before a Jim-Crow audience in Washington. Says the "Bee:" "I would be a splendid thing if colored palimony and direct the energy wasted in criticisms of Hayes toward the conditions which they complain, so that two years hence or when they are sent to the court, they for themselves the oneness task they wished on him. How can any colored southern community convince its white friends that Jim Crow is wrong, if the leading Negro artist is willing to put the stamp of approval upon him? He has lived in the North as well as abroad. He believes in Jim Crow. It must be all right." The doughy Atlanta (Ga.) Independent join the discussion, declaring that Mr. Hayes is no a race leader but an artist, plain and simple he interprets the American Negro higher aspirations and abilities in vocal to the world. Under the title, "Hizing Mr. Hayes," the estimable Chicago Bee takes us to task for criticising Mr. Roland Hayes' appearance before a Jim-Crow audience in Washington. Says the "Bee": "Would you like if colored Baltimore and Washington would concentrate and direct the energy wasted in criticisms of Hayes toward the conditions of which they complain? It would return to what they will have accomplished for themselves the onerous task they wished on him." How can any colored southern community convince its white friends that Jim Crow is wrong, in the leading Negro artist who will be criticized in Washington? "Mr. Hayes," they say, "was born in the South and has lived in the North as well as abroad. He believes in Jim Crow. It must be all right." The doughy Atlanta (Ga.) Independent joined the discussion, declaring that Mr. Hayes is not a race leader but an artist, plain and honest, who has aspirations and the mean Negro's higher aspirations and abilities in vocal music to the world. Check this theory of the Independent's against the following fact. Mr. Hayes sought to purchase orchestra tickets for himself, in a Pittsburgh, Pa., vaudeville theatre. He was told that he would be able to chase gallery seats. He declined the Jim Crow seats, and went away. Whatever Mr. Hayes is, he cannot escape the responsibility of the outstanding position he has achieved. Elsewhere he has achieved the responsibility he should not expect, to be a party to humiliating Jim Crow for others when he does not tolerate it, for himself. Ten readers of the APRO interviewed by an anonymous reporter, Jim Crow, conerts on the basis of "bread and butter." He would lose money they Money isn't everything. Character, is worth more. Moreover, there are but 14 southern states in which Jim Crow was expected. Some of them were in which Mr. Hayes and does sing, at $2000 a night. Mr. Hayes was born in Georgia. He has gotten out of Georgia now, but all the Georgia of him. Eventually Mr. Hayes will have earned enough money to live abroad, marry his Viennese Countess and thumb his nose at America's color line problems. We are only seeking to remind him, however, that h has a handkrief on his head a red handa. Circumscribed Are You Like The Monkey Or The Raccoon? Bv G.

Straw Flattened The straw over which he trod was flattened out to a smoothness skin to rattan, and by closely watching, which I was doing as though I was paid by the hour. I observed that his or rather its paws trod in eidetic spatial space and then walked away. I returned a footfall at the exact place on the show window with a precision that was worthy of careful calculation. The straw over which he trod was flattened out to a smoothness akin to rattan, and by closely watching, which I was doing as though I was paid by the hour. I observed that his or rather its paws trod in th' inedible spots each time and in making a turn. I trip placed a footfoot at the exact place on the show table, with precision that was worthy of careful calculation. Wasn't Getting Anywhere I shifted position several times but kept watch over the free show of a little acribat *who* was stripping off miles but wasn't getting anywhere, but didn't seem the least disturbed at the possibility of having to perform this strange task from above to ask them to see what they are the matter with that fool?" I could not read the raccoon's mind or know the intent of the swinging and forth, but I guessed a few things and surmised still others. **Hide During Day** If you are not in the raccoon's mind, admit it, you know raccoons or more familiarly, "coons," hide themselves in the day time by sleeping in the summit of the tallest tree or a convenient log, and at nightfall he lay away toward the swamps to feed on the frogs and insects, and roots to be found there with the liberty attendant thereto accompanied with its present predicament. I shifted position several times but kept watch over the free show of a little acrobat who was tripping off him. I watched him with the least disturbed at the possibility of having to perform this strange march thousands of times, and the monkeys looking down at him with me: "What the matter, with that fool?" I could not read the raccoons' mind or know the intent of the swinging back and forth, but I guessed a few things and surmised still others. I had a few things. If you are not too hardish to admit it, you know raccoons, or more familiarly, "coons," hide themselves in the day time by sleeping in the summit of the hills. If you are not too hardish to admit it, you feed on the frogs and insects, and roots to be found there. So maybe it was thinking of this, coupled with the liberty attendant thereto. Circumscribed Oh yes. it had food in the show window. For it there remained in the pan untouched or possibly left over, and its sleek body showed it to be fat, and it had the company of the man, the monkey, the dog, the cat, but it would be still. It was the call of the walt that the beast vainly tried to answer but it was CIRCUMSCRIBED. Electric lights, and straw, unil glass, and crazing people were quirky, quirky, quirky, and crazing people over which it has lived until captured, and every effort to obey that instinct to go back was hindered by heavy plate. Alas! Many of us too are circumscribed, both actively and involuntarily, the former is well inexcubable while the latter is repugnant to self-respecting men and women.

Apparently, to whom the question, was put are aware, of the fact that such information is now available. Baltimore, to rich and poor alike. A Contraception-Clinic was established here, some months back, backed by some of the city's leading citizens. This clinic will accept and advise any client referred by the health makes it inadvisable or dangerous for her to again become a mother. Those in charge of the clinic hope eventually to extend its services to those whose financial circumstances do not allow them to make a charge upon the community or deprive the other children of the are and education they deserve. This latter service is now available in New York and Chicago, and is available on a larger scale in most of the European countries at least one of which publishes government pamphlets on the use of contraceptive devices. The result: a family famously found the distribution of such information by mail and prohibit the inter-state shipment of contraceptive devices. The result: a drug show at many times their real value.

ROBERT BENNETT The old year dies and with it dies Old acts, old thoughts and memories; The New Year lives and with it lives New hope, new opportunities. "Twas ever thus time has born, Has pass'd across the golden sea Which mortals name Eternity. "The King is dead, lonely live the King!" Is said when Royal death bells ring; The whistles roar, the deep-don't bell A welcome clang, a parting knell To one who goes neer to return. To one who comes, a year's loom; W will wreath of fame be decked my brow All hall New Year! the victor now. And now New Year, what hast for me? From burdil's hope Hope asketh me; Will wealth be the same now? From fame be decked my brow? As future looms, what comes to me From out thine unknown destiny? Only Advantages In Having A Black Skin Seem Normal. To the Editor: In the Scientific Monthly for November, is an article by Will C. Barnes on tularemia or rabbit fever. Traces the history of the discovery and identification of this disease which has recently attracted so much attention because of its virulence and baffling character, and one reason the fact that from its apparent center in the rabbit region, it is spreading all over the country. The disease is contracted chiefly, it appears from the dressing and handling of infected rabbits, and it can be harmless. One interesting fact brought out by the article is that recent extensive investigations show that Negroes are far less susceptible to infection by the disease than are white people. Of the 420 reported cases from various parts of the South, only 18 were Negroes. This, in spite of the fact that from the manner in which the disease is contracted, it would be expected that the white people in Negroes are more susceptible than white people in actual and actually far fewer cases than Negroes. These observations serve to confirm other recent findings which show that Negroes are much less susceptible than white people in contracted through that medium. So here we discover another biological advantage (so far the only advantages seem to be biological) in having a black skin. P. H. M. MURRAY. Alexandria, Va. Only Advantages In Having A Black Skin Stem To Be Biological. To Be Biter. In the Scientific Monthly for November, is an artcle by Will C. Barnes on tularemia or, rabbit He traces the history of the discovery and identification of this disease which has recently attracted so much attention, and on account of the fact that, from its apparent center in the western jack rabbit regions, it is spreading all over the country, it contracted chiefly, it appears, from the dressing and handling of infected rabbits, but the cooked meat seems to be harmless. One interesting fact brought to our attention is investigations show that Negroes are far less susceptible to infection by the disease than are white people. For instance, Mr. Barnes states that out of 250 report cases from various regions, only 18 were Negroes. This in spite of the fact that from the manner in which the disease is contracted, it would be expected that white people in this region are actually and fairly far fewer cases than Negroes. These observations serve to confirm other recent findings which show that Negroes are much less susceptible than whites to affections of the skin and diseases contracted through medium. So here we discuss the biological implications of these advantages seem to biological, in having a black skin. A Fine Tribute To A Retired School Teacher. To the Editor: I think it fitting and worth while, to direct attention to the public school teacher who has given magnificent service to this community for very many years. I refer to Miss Annie O. Waters. At the time of the retirement of Miss Waters, at the time of her retirement service, she was the senior of all in the colored schools. I came to this city during the latter part of the year 1831, and Miss Waters, at that time, was the principal of a school with two teachers under her. Until the retirement she was continued in a principalship. I think it fitting and worth while, to direct attention to a retired public school teacher who has given magnificent service to this community for very many years. Miss Annie Waters. At the time of the retirement of Miss Waters, last year, I think, as a principal in continuous service, she was the senior of all in the colored schools. I came to this city during the latter part of the year 1890, and Miss Waters, at age 18, was one of two teachers under her. Until the time of her retirement she was continued in a principalship. During my early ministry in this city I was most intimately associated with Miss Waters, having been, at that time, a vestyman of St. James Church for nearly a half century. Miss Waters was for many years the head of the Sanctuary chapter of St. James Church, and in an annual committee, I cannot recall any individual in like capacity, who exhibited more consecrated devotion to the work than Miss Annie O. Waters. She represents in her personality the virtues and moral excellencies of the "old school," and as well as her instruction, have been a very great contribution to the highest ideals of our community life. Her work has been well done, and, looking to the future, I believe that "the best is yet it" comes to be received in the gracious welcome she is to receive in where moral and spiritual values alone will count. During my early ministry in this city I was most intimately associated with the Wats family, that time a vestymian of St. James Church for nearly a half century. Miss Waters was for many years the head of the Sanctuary chapter of the church, and she had an edge of churches, and sanctuary committees. I cannot recall any individual in like capacity, who exhibited more consecrated devotion to the work than Miss Annie O. Waters. She represented the church as a model of excellence of the "old school," and her personal example, all these years, as well as her instruction, have been a very great contribution to the high standards of the church that has been well done, and, looking to the future, I believe that "the best is yet t come" for her in the gracious welcome she is sure to receive in that world where moral and spiritual values alone Her former pastor and friend, GEORGE F.

JESSE O. THOMAS. Atlanta, Ga. Women Hold The Key To Stop Segregation In Downtown Stores. To the Editor: He is the impact in business circles in Baltimore is to the effect that some of our big department stores in the downtown business section are losing hundreds of dollars daily, and Perhaps it might be of interest, to such stores to learn that thousands of dollars were spent in New York City, and Philadelphia by colored people of Baltimore during this Yuletide season because of the segregation policy of the time, to store their goods and millinery stores in the downtown district. Rumors are also current to the effect that one thousand white women pledged their support to the downtown stores if such stores refused to women to try on coats, hats, dresses and shoes. One-hundred twenty thousand: people earning the amount of money that Negroes earn in Baltimore more than whites, worth conferring before any agreement is entered into by wise business men. White people in the Southland have very strict Jim Crow laws. White people who own department stores in such cities as Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, and New Orleans have not yet reached the point in their madry of segregation that they to allow Negroes to store in their stores and other theaters their stores because they realize they; when they make a sale of such merchandise; it means a sale that amounts to dollars and not pennies. Perhaps the less-of-a-few thousand dollars by many, may break down, sequester in Baltimore. The colored women who are going to other cities to buy their wearing, apparel will do more to break down segregation and Crow Jimism than a thousand committees.

She also had the Worst of all her shabby purse contained only seventy-five cents — three quarters — with which to celebrate Christmas.

Her wilted chill, damp with unfallen snow. As she walked down the street she ached with the cold. The Five and Ten Cent Store first drew her, then the three dozen stockings, not to cost more than five cents, only something! But ten cents slipped at once from her purse for the gay drum that was what she knew. She brighted up paint and pear sticks. The boy would be happy over the noise all day and so would she. She loved a dance out you, and Annie and then to the market with only sixty cents for a dinner, and the butcher and grocer eating the life out you, and the work out you tentatively toward the door, an exclamation of pleasure came to her lips. There, on the counter, was an adorable work basket. It was placed for a thimble and scissors and a little needlebook. It was exactly the thing to delight Annie's heart. the basket loving into her hands, asked the price, which was quite unnecessary, confided to the clerk that her daughter was the best sewer girl. The basket down again. They must have a dinner. Annie, like herself, would have to learn to do without. But as she finally put the basket in purchase tears her cheeks. Angry and sick at heart she saw a well-dressed man at her side take the relinquished basket of flowers and receive the parcel in his hand. As she moved away he touched her shabby coat. "Won't you accept this for the little girl," he said, with a Mercy. "You can be pleased and then, looking into his face, saw that he was colored.

And then, quite suddenly, like a miracle, she forgot the man's color altogether and only heard his kind voice.

Robert Fossett, barber, 1610 Druld Hill avenue: "Well, it makes so many people ill, and makes them today and after a few days have passed in the new year, they forget them. "If there were something binding about the resolutions, it would be different, but the way it is, it's 'howdy do! good bye'." Jerry Crite, 1612 Druld Hill avenue: "I think the making of resolutions is a good thing because there are some people who make them, keep them, while others break them." Daniel Coleman, barber, 416 Drudg Hill avenue: "The making of resolutions is more of a handed down from our forefathers. "It is looked upon today as being a mere trifle, and I think that it will gradually die out in a cohesion." In my time, people looked upon the making of resolutions as a serious thing but now the young generation is doing on does not see my importance. Miss Geraldine Brown, 1630 Drudg Hill avenue, secretary of Frederick's Employment Agency: "I think that the New Year resolution are a good many people who break them, yet there are some people who have good intentions, but have some bad habits which they would break by making 'New Year resolutions.' "The fact of the new year coming on gives them an idea that they would better themselves, or improve themselves over the past year." Dr. B. A.

JONES Baltimore Agencies And The Coming Year Individuals as well as organizations should not only budget their spending accounts, but like the more-efficient business institutions, map out their production schedule. This can be applied to the lead of the family who must manage to make ends meet on $20 per week as well as those with larger incomes, to business applications to organizations, churches and welfare bodies. Baltimore, of all cities, needs a large number of colored folk to larger achievement this connection it might not be a bad idea if every leader and organization maps out what part they will take in the development of their city during the next twelve months. We venture a ew suggestions: Adelebian club There is the Adelphian Club for instance, which last year gave a dinner to inspire business achievement. We suggest this year annual events among railroad leaders and among railroad leaders and cancels which prevent helpful cooperation between men and groups. These should be helped out of our minds by people who should be on a civic, business and musical program. The Adelphians might retract out of these running sores, get the principals around a well-tended table, and have to-heart seminars at the institute seminars which have kept readers apart here. Urban League Then there is the Urban League. It will soon begin an annual year's program. We naturally associate it with the labor and the welfare of working men and women. We believe it is about time that the local league tacitly recognizes the trial opportunities and give one year of its efficient energy to this one project. This, by the way, is Moore's most urgent job just now. It has been found that a large number of the present employment agencies are conducted on a purely commercial basis and cannot give time to the larger questions the company which will reach all the larger manufacturing plants in the interest of the workers, would be the ideal program for this organization in 1929. Parent Teachers To the Parent-Teacher Federation we suggest that with most of the big problems of school equipment, we give its energy to working out a detail year's program which will reach the social, civic and health problems of the communities represented by the units of the Fidelity. Perhaps a system of weekly community centers where the real community problems could be tackled is our work for this body. Of all things, Baltimore youth, especially the masses, need some genuine leadership in the common business practically in their communities. The boys and girls need the inspiration of good examples in recreation and social procedure and the parents themselves, including: as they do the best minds in the teaching profession and the parents themselves, would be a good means through which community centers could be worked out. Churches As for the churches, there are so many things they can do, that we hesitate to enter this big field with suggestions. We have time and come when the church's might unite upon a program of cooperation which would allocate attention to the many fields with harvest here. So far as we know, there are no intelligent and well directed church activities in the alleys and congested places in the city. There is little, if any direct church prison work. They are little like the prison work of Baltimore. As an agency in control among young men. In four years of almost daily work in the police stations and jails of Baltimore, we have yet to see a Christian worker there, unarmed. Their friends had been arrested. Although within a stone's throw of each church there are hell holes of vice and corruption, we have yet to see a band of inmates down into these valleys of life and conducting missions and child welfare projects. So here is a fertile field. First, we suggest that the organization, and following a survey, allocate every section of the city to some church, and with an experienced worker in charge, the church will do thousands of members who would be real members. At any rate, we believe the great churches of Baltimore should adhere to 1929 to doing more than feeding the saved lambs an dforming a place where Christian men and women isolate themselves at Sunday services, lastly the professional group in Baltimore should get busy. This includes the AFRO-AMERICAN and even the business agency, which should get together on a business expansion program. There are great possibilities here ready to be tapped. We do the job and cannot get down to the cooperation necessary to a prosperous colored community. The colored group is taking in nearly $50,000,000 in wages. More of it should There are: some little towns in the South supporting 100 per cent more professional men and women, the abundantly, than we are doing here in the midst of world civilization and advantage. Forget The Past Let us all, therefore, forget the past; and strive towards a united race group in Baltimore. We must not forget the new year any impediments in the way of progress. Let us understand that by opening our hearts and extending our hands to help every other colored business, professional and working man and woman we are in the long run helping others. Above all, let those of us who by mere good fortune, have solved our own problem or more, have not solved theirs. Let not the doctor's, nor the ministers, nor the bishop's, nor the business man, nor the little business man who runs a store on the corner and turn all of their dollars away from the race without a chance to own the line somewhere. Let them not also forget that a certain amount of success requires leadership. The example that should be set. VIRGINIA LEXINGTON, Va. — The 'M' E. Church choir performed a musical program, before N.

Big Three The chief credit for the idea and origination of the conference is due to Dr. George E. Haynes, charge of the interfaith commission of the United Church of Churches. The guiding genius of the program and procedure must be accorded to Miss Ann Miett of the Rush College big three. These easily constituted the three of the conference. Julius, Rosenwald, the prince of philanthropists in this field graced the conference in this press conference in the succeeding several features give this conference a distinctive place among previous attempts in the same field. Planting 1. The whole movement was dictated and controlled by the great philanthropic foundations based upon the intentions of wealth, but was one of expression of the mobilization of wealth in behalf of social service. 2. For the first time adequate money and considerable resources be to bear upon an accepted policy of dealing with, if not solving, the race problem. Needless waste of friction were sought to be eliminated by agencies working in the same field. The folly of the older order of philanthropy bound upon religious leisurely activity upon religious leisurely activity ago rive, and competitive denominations planted five institutions of higher learning in the city of Atlanta, whereas all of them comprise the clientele of a first rate college. The merger and the syndicate idea promote efficiency in the charitable as well as in the business world. 3. The conference was interracial in name and constituency rather than in purpose and motive, and select representatives to negotiate relations on ambassadorial principles, but carefully selected individuals, both male and female, were put forth as great assistance to promote the policy and purpose which they have in view. 4. The agenda was skillfully and accurately presented, including mainly those topics upon which all right thinking people must agree without conflict or confusion of opinion. Such questions as health, education, employment, government, institutions and industry, provoke no animosity or violent reactions. The deeper and more basic issues of racial integrity, amalgamation, political civics and social equality, and the general acknowledgment generally acknowledged and accepted taboo. The whole fabric was based upon the maintenance of the established difference and distinctions of race. W. E. B. E. DuBois, by his customary insistence upon flattening the conference its rudest shock. 5. There were no Negro delegates representing distinctively Negro organizations and movements, the present faternal organizations, which keep the pulse beat of Negro life and thought, were conspicuous by their absence. It was taken for granted that the Negro cannot sail under his own steam or speak through his own words. He wants or cannot secure it, the well disposed whites must give him what they think he ought to have. Of course, the acquiescence of the Negro is desired to facilitate the program. All purely Negro movements, such as the Afro-American Council, the Niagara Movement, theEqual Rights Lease and the Negro Sanctuary spring out of dry ground for want of sustaining nourishment. This was a conference of wealthy white foundations, by whites and Negroes, for Negroes. 6. conference typified the spirit of the newer philanthropy as contrasted with that of the old philanthropy which followed in the wake of the Civil War. The one was business, the other was on service. The former was founded on sacrifice; the latter on the spare crumbs of wealth. The older order called for consecration of self; the newer dispensation for specific preparation and social service. No Religion Religion had no part in this conference. No word of praver or voice of petition for heavenly guidance was heard throughout its deliberation. 7. The conference did not seem it prudent to make a frontal attack on the strong wall of its present 'persistent stubbornness which it useless no power to attack in its essential durability. But by the skilful use of the obstacle inside or circumvent the obstacle which it had not the power to overcome.

Dec.-29 8 PREACHING FEATURE OF ROYAL STAGE BILL Southern Camp Meeting Scene Is Laugh - Getter In Mamie Smith Revue SONGS PLENTY STRONG Numbers A number of really funny scenes, some bewilkicker bits of foolishness, run wildly, occasionally good specialty dancing, and some two-way songs by the mother of blues — Mamie Smith — stand out like a pet bird in the Royal stage show this week. To Sorry Lee and Skeeter, Winston go the honors for blackface with the former group, but the entire show is about the entire show. A unique prologue by George Green a clever straight man, started the fireworks and from this point the Black band clicked on a mighty ford hip. Al Young proved a good Chinese in the laundry skirt, which although nothing new, presented stunts, Sonny Lee was able to stun him by "O Bygly" number, evidently a weekly attraction at the Royal, so often is it heard, gave the Dixon a chance to force her princesses through some stunts, group being able to take a couple of the Skeeter Winston with his monologue "I Wonder Why", but the bullsye with the Christmas Day customers and Lee's "Backbiting" number brought loud guffaws from many. "Peaching Is Realistic" "The Low Down" scene, showing Lee as an old Southern princess was clever, was easily seen in the show, William Taylor, juvenile dancer, shows promise of hitting the big time after a bit, as per usual Mamle, after being introduced in all her quirky sade's, "Some Chances" and came back in a skirt, "Hot Dog." with Stunny Lee. This number was a little raw for some of the less sophisticated clients, leaving nothing whatever to the imagination. Chorus Well Trained. Picked to pieces for minute examination, Manile Smith's Gang have some faults, but efforts of the company get across to the audience. They laughed, they stamped their feet, evidently, they accused of one size of prancers is made up of Mildred Coleman.

Chords And Dis-chords Are Our Choirs Losing Out? —“O Holy Night”-Lewis S Flagg. 'Cellist—What Is A String Trio?-Symphony Concerts. By LLEWELLYN WILSON Christmas Sunday services featured as usual the very elaborate musical programs which for a number of years have characterized local ser Ballimore churches have always been the scenes and Christmastime the occasions for place of worship of all denominations. In many churches this beautiful, custom is, still kept. But whether one is or not is not notice over a long period of years the financial and commercial influence which the churches have on the services of most of the local churches and which influence is slowly but surely having its pernicious effect upon the attendance and upon the services of field help. In many churches today, choirs and volunteer choirs at that, are expected in addition to singing at a church service, and singers at the Sunday services is considered incidental) are expected to raise funds through various enterprises and these enterprises may run the entire church service, making these activities may take the form - parties or teas which are held on Sundays. Some times benefit card parties and subscription dances are held during the church service, making for nor against these social activities as such; but it is rather painful to note the chief beneficiaries of such worldly and saintly (?) practices, public, charity, or otherwise, toivariate the devotees of such social pastimes. If they are right and proper at one time, they cannot at another time be the most direct route and the most useful oughture to the regions of eternal There are many young folk round about Baltimore possessed with beautiful singing voices, who can sing and not be because they are lacking in the desire to serve God, and to serve Him along the lines laid down by the church. It is not because they are lacking in the insincerity of purpose, the childish practice of a certain type of mob and group psychology, the insidious use of autosuggestion, and the excess of individualism. Each individual leaves the progressive young Negro much disturbed in mind and thoroughly disgusted in spirit. Music in the church has always been useful in divine worship and it is no less potent today. Those of us interested in religious worship and concerned in the musical world have eyes to some of our eyes to some of the contributing causes for the apathetic attitude taken by many of our young people. In many of our church members we have eyes to some of beautiful cantatas, this is only possible when the churches believe it profitable to buy music for the choir. Others of Christmas carols, still others sin: selections from the master writers of church anthems. There is a loftiness to Christmas music which makes its appeal direct to the English speaking people the present day, according to statistics given out by the leading music publishers, the anthems and arrangements companies, Clouch-Leightner, Noble, Neildling and Shelley are great favorites. Our church-goers are appreciative of good church music and much enjoy the unbuilding of our choirs. "O. Holy Night." Probably no other Christmas carol is as popular and as appealing as 'Cantique di Noel'. better known in the English as "O Holy Night," by Adolph Adam; was sung at least nine loot churches. Its 'Adolph' is simple and harmonies beautiful. Lewis S. Flagg. 'Cellist Lewis S. Flagg, ordinary attorney and a well-known attorney for New York City, is in the city for a few days. Musicians here remember Mr. Flagg as the very best cellist that our group has developed. Mr. Flagg began his career as a student here in Baltimore. His studies were directed by a prominent cellist, a member of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Flagg at once became the subtle difficulties of the cello technique and at the same time he obtained from his instrument a broad sonorous tone. Flagg was first cellist in the Aeolian Symphony Orchestra, which was formed and conducted for a while by A. Jack Thomas. This organization, for complete instruction, was the nearest approach that him has seen to a real symphony orchestra. From time to time I read of local symphonic orchestras but after I know why they are so called. Mr. Flagg will be remembered by local concertgoers characterized his solo work here. I do not know whether he has continued the work so well begun here, and to his himself and to his group to do so. What Is A String Trio? Last week I read somewhere of the work done by a string trio but on further examination I "as told that the instrumentation consisted of saxophone, tenor saxophone, tenor saxophone, boys. Good music may be obtained from the instruments just named. BUT THEY DO NOT MAKE A STRING TRIO.

STAGE REVIEW STAGE REVIEW Tillel Johnson's Revue. Tilie screen has its legs. The Beverly Baker, but Tillel Johnson's "Jazz Revue", playing the Star can boast of a little girl who is a combination of both. Vernon Horan uses personality plus, in each of the many different parts played from soubret to chorus. Possessing a fast and snappy chorus that can both dance and sing the show starts off with pep and ends with mime. The school scene is exceptionally funny and gives the different members of the cast a chance to show off their natural talents. Boots Hope as the "effeminate boy" and Miss Mogget as the little dark girl were the life of the act in this scene. Archie Murphy succeeded in bringing down the team, a classy style. The comedy of the show was furnished by Melvin "Bear" Hunter and Clarence Cole. The chorus includes Jessie May Tanner, Vernon, Hogan, Marion Haywood, Dorothy Powell and Beulah Smith. "Chocolate Box Revue" Giorgio and Andrea dominate this revue of Florence *Wilhelm*'s which is pleasing the avenue patrons during this Yule season.

Would Dress Up Native Africans For Movie Parts California Pastor Would "Dress Up" African Natives Meantime Los Angeles Chorus Girls Are Performing On Vaudeville Stage Nude From Waist Up African natives will be compelled to put on some clothes or else moving pictures of them cannot be missed in the U. S. A. George Perry suggests in the current Footlights Magazine. In reference to a certain picture shown in Los Angeles, we quote George as follows: "Native Africans, both men and women, nude to the waist portrayed in their native dances are presented in the wonderful African animation co-creator 'Dirchot' taken by Martin Johnson and his wife under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and now showing at the Billiards Museum in this city; so shocked the modesty of Dr. G. A. Briegleb, pastor of the fashionable St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Jefferson Boulevard at Third Ave, that the notorious minister of city complained: 'The Board of Education but also appealed to his congregation for support at his evening services last Sunday in a sermon. 'Is it the Business of the Board of Education to Indorse Such Picture as Simba?' In his complaint to the board of education he indicated that he was great at teaching and that he "nudity" and confessed that he "seriously questioned the wisdom" of showing the picture to children. The pastor's anxiety was occasioned by the fact that announcements had been made in the city school in the Biltmore Theatre and that reduced prices were being offered school children; also that requests had been made to the child to attend the picture. Superintendent Susan M. Dorese and board members denied the charges and said that the reference to the picture was called the principal's attention to the fact that the Johnson expedition into Africa starting in 1934 was for the purpose of photographing the wild animals of the continent and that four years consumed in that effort. The bulldog: "In order that as many children as possible may have the opportunity of viewing this picture, the board of education has permitted the board to intend to that identification which may be presented by Bilmore box office for reduced rates, will be distributed to all children at an early date." Notorious Gus The Rev. G. Brieglieg, better known to the citizens of Los Angeles as Gus, has played the role of self-styled factor of morality in the citizens of Los Angeles for the past several years. About a year ago, in co-operation with the Rev. Bob Shullopator of the church of the dewdness and mudity among the performers at the Folles Theatre on Main street, were filed resulting in injury and jury failed to agree as to what is considered lewdness and mudity on the stage. Today this same Folles Theatre is running a show in which perfectly actresses stripped to the waist. This art, native African in the state, state, state, screen, is visible. Maybe the color the difference. Public Opinion "What person of mature mind, above the moron grade, would expect to attempt photographing of native Africans and not find them undressed to the waist?" declares Board Member Elizabeth Clark. "We're lucky that the camera stopped where it did," she said. Its issue of Oct. 22, has has to say: Rev. Brieferle's "Nudity." Our heart goes out in Christian sympathy to the Rev. Gustav A. Birchley Church. Brieglest pastor of St. Paul's Pres- Rev. Brieglest hoisted the signal of his soul's distress so pathetically the other night before the board of education that our eyes brimmed with tears at his predicament. This moral world is all too "nude" for the modest, master, it appears. African natives, the sad truth is, run through the wilds naked except for a breech-clout and are innocent of "jim" Yes, even the elephants and the lions cavort without pants, and gay creatures of the air are scantily, indelicately aerialized. A horrors of Young In such a world the "morals" of the young are almost hopelessly insecure. Wise parents are must therefore be on their guard to ensure wherever it rears its wicked head. The great crying need of the hour is ample covering to hide the wickedness. Brielebid did not say all this when he sent his letter to the school board protesting against the remainable African jungle picture, "but something like it must have been found." He told the board he thought children ought not see the picture because "it presents the natives in the native dances, both men and women." men, nudge to urge Something ought to be done about " We don't think the picture is entirely true, but it is probably, but Pastor Brieberle must be protected.

"Dirty Music"-New Word To Describe Harlem Nite Club Aaron Douglas' Mural Decorations Praised—Florence McClain Responsible For Costumes—Nudity The Rage In Again, Out Again, Gone Again, Goes Charles Gilpin NEW YORK, (Special). — Devotees of pulsating night life, with a desire to “make whoopee” are directed to the Club Harlem here, in a recent trade in “Variety” theatrical trade journal.

LOS ANGELES Charles Glipin w of another name, but it is "Hearts in Dixie" in which he has seen great success. Rebel who has been popular in in motion picture circles out this for some years. A. H. Gilpin was slated with the cost of "Unee's Cabin," but was mysteriously relieved of work shortly after he had started to work. No explanation has been given for his release from the present production. The correspondent in the Morning Chronicle Charles Gilpin Eagle writes: "We do not profess to know the real reason why Charles Gilpin was slated for his dramatic speech, not enjoyed by many. His acting ability was unquestioned. Yet, he is out. How come? This is his work, is it not a duet or cantilet. Gilpin's voice is perfect. What could have happened? Was it money matters? He was reputed to have signed a contract of $1,200 a week. Was this so much? He did his part so well t. at he always fell asleep and failed even to wake up. He did his assignment, this accusation said, even after the other actors had lengthily built up to his bit of business.

Most of Honey's work has been on the light side, floor and stage, but could not get the idea, necessary for filming which proved to be no good before the camera. Fiddler, Shelton Re-form Old Act CHICAGO, III.—(ANP.) "The 'big time' vaudeville circuits are following the load of the dramatic side of the theatricals in opening the door wider for Rube Shelton, partner in the veteran star act of Fiddler and Shelton. After a retirement of eight years from the theatre, which time he and Fiddler dissolved partnership, Mr. Shelton and Fiddler are together again doing their Chinaman and colored straight performance which years, ago was known from coast to coast. "Vaudeville looks, with some apprehension upon the invasion of the talkies with their short sketches of theatrical acts," said Shelton.

From nowhere to the attention of the film-going nation, Stepin "teach progress skills" to Fox officials. "The Fox company patted him on the back, made him a lasting present of his new name and tendered him a salary that can be termed "sweet." Fecht also received a colorful picture, "Hearts Of Dixie." But this week all was not so well between Fox and his new protege. According to the studio's version, he did not belong in a picture wholly made by members of the race.

DePriest Joins Church, Gets Ready For Congress' Session CDAL meet me face to face Chas Aking ECONOMY EGG ALL SCREENED LINE NO 2 COAL $8.25 CHICAGO--Oscar DePriest, congressman-elect of the Fourth District, Illinois, declared his intentions last week to join church here before leaving for Congress. DePriest is putting the cart before the horse in making his peace-with the Lord as he is less likely-to-be popped off suddenly in Washington than he is in two-gun Chicago. You have to give him credit though for being a-politean and not pulling any such blunder before he was elected. The racketeer vote would have been pretty slim had he gone over on the side of the Psalm singers before the ballots were counted. The opposition would have had a fighting chance if they could have put a blot on his character by proving that he was taught to meet with a hymn book in his hand. His enemies used the wrong method to defeat him. They tried to mutil him in bad with the vote, but with this he polled a large vote. If they had only succeeded in having him sent to Joliet, his election would have been unanimous. They tried to forget that in Chicago politics two or three indictments against him were not going to Elections here, don't go to the man who has the best record, but to the man who can command the most machine guns. Some try to claim that DePriest was not the man best fitted for the job, but false. There is no doubt that he will make good in Congress. After living for so long in the city of stock yards, he ought to be good at throwing the bull. He will have little bother from prison, which after he gets to Washington, because if the charges in the indictments are true, the only office his supporter can hold is the cut box box, all poker games in the U. S. Treasury. There is much speculation as to just why Mr. DePriest joined church. Some say that he did so to brush up on his Scriptures, so he could cope with the Ku Klux members from the Bible. Hethers chain that Big Bill Thompson, recently waged war to have King George of England stricken from the history books; wants DePriest to introduce a bill, kicking the King James version of the Bible out of the country. He trying to find out what it is all about. Elaborate plans are being made to have King James to Washington when he goes to take his seat. From rumors it is the plan of the committee; to have them, as they make their . . . imphant, march up Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol play "Onward Christian Soldiers." Senator Smith and Vare were refuted because they applied for seats because they were bad little boys at home. Mr. DePriest isn't taking any chances. He knows it would be a blot on his deny seat to a congressman who comes in the name of the Lord. Linwood 'Nash,' 1516.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1928 450 PERSONS NEEDED AROUND A GROCERY U. S. Chamber Of Commerce Cites Numbers Required to Support Store 39,179 IN SAVANNAH, GA. City Has 50 Colored Groce- (By The Associated Negro Press) The United States Chamber of Commerce has found through a recent survey the approximate number of people it takes to support several full-time retail stores. The chamber's report states that there is an average of 450 people to each grocery store, 900 to each butcher shop, 1,350 to each department store, 2,300 to each dry goods store, 2,300 to each furniture store, 4,800 to each shoe store, and 10,500 to each department store. These figures show an average of 55 retail stores to each 10,000 population. The number of products produced from those facts is that it takes the number of patrons indicated to give successful support to the individual business enterprises. Let's compare this average of the nation's with what colored people are doing in Savannah, Georgia. Our Negro Population of Savannah. 1920 census—39,179. In the field of retail trade Negroes own and operate: 4 drug stores, 50 grocery stores, 60 coffee shops, 42 restaurants. They also own and operate 45 barber shops, 11 beauty parlors, 1 hotel, 2 newspapers, 1 bank, 3 theaters, 5 dance halls. Negroes work in insurance offices and two life companies. There are 2 lawyers, 2 physicians, 4 dentists, 5 undertakers, 5 real estate operators, and 2 orchestral organizations. Approximately 100 teachers, some 75 Negroes work in the postal service and about 200 others work for the city as street sweepers and about 300 others are employed by the steamship companies, number manufacturers and sugar refineries. A local branch of the National Negro Business League. Negroes are the population, as well as encourages business expansion and cooperation. Only 94 (Editor's Comment: Instead of the 225 retail outlets we might expect to find based upon the Chamber's 50% of the classes specified. There are no music shop, haberdasheries, shop stores, furniture stores, or department stores. No manufactures of any kind have been successfully established and no laundry or cash company is at present in operation. Apparently, the city is the largest enterprise and initiative. Its bank is the most hopeful symbol of progress.)

Davis, who was then and is now Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee of Georgia, agreed at that time, that when he was elected national committeeman, that he would vacate the Secretaryship of the Committee and use his influence to elect Watson in his place. Watson kept his ord and worked for and succeeded in helping Davis into the place he sought, but Davis endured and would keep his word with Watson. Hence the fight between the two at Kansas City this year. During Ben Davis' tenure as National Committeema., not one single Negro's name was offered for any sort reference, but He was sole reference for two years. Trouble At K. C. Every National Committee of the party, except Davis, went to Kansas City in advance of the convention and made reservations for their delegations. On the day of the convention it apparently no need for it to provide for his delegation, and this action so disgusted his followers that they decided to put him out. They did vote him out of the committeeship, At K.C.

But the gentlemen agreed that the delegation done had, and Davis has not been national committeeman since June. The Old Fellows Case Now as to the parallel Odd Fellows' case. In 1912 the jurisdiction of Georgia was the most powerful state unit of Odd Fellows in the world. This unit was built by a splendid set of men who built Ben Davis for years to do their secretary work and provided him a livelihood. So powerful was the unit at its peak, that beginning in the Fall of 1910, in one year, it had raised more than a thousand of which went into the great Odd Fellows Temple at Atlanta, this magnificent tribute to the memory of the ability of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Collier, Dr. Stoney and Reid and others was dedicated by the lamented Becker Davis was chosen the corresponding secretary of the Juridition. One by one the men who built the work were embassed and Ben Davis' work was made available. Ben Davis' work and Davis finally took it over.

Today, Ben Davis, who once was head over the entire business area of the 19th floor. He is merely a tenant, not a landlord. The Morris Lickings Davis' active and prominent connection with Odd Fellowship covering a long period of years, made it possible to elevate him (Davis) to the "Supremc Bench of. American Odd Fellows. Almost immediately, Davis' friends began working with him to order the order from Mr. Morris. Morris licked Davis' faction at Boston in 1910, licked him again in Baltimore in 1912 and then went Atlanta and licked him again in his own town and licked him good.

With him out of the game, the Greeks battled the first half and when the first period ended they were on the 1st end of a 15-13 verdict. Lack of experienced men for instillation plainly hampered the Greeks and when up to them floundered hopelessly. In the closing minutes of the game Coach Bill Taylor sent in all of his Morgan reserves. Bluford mer Sam Hankey was sent into all of his few minutes and contributed one field goal.

HENDERSON) WASHINGTON, D. C. — Football and athletic games mean much more in the education of youth today than formerly. Once they were endured because it was thought they absorbed the energies otherwise used in brawls and smashing things, the educator uses these tools uselessly in the scheme of education. Especially are they found of value in the field of character building. Victories and defeats are not the essential ends of scholastic sport. Schedules are so arranged that a fair number of victories are possible dom a team to so many lose all theirs. Its schedule. Too many defeats are depressing from the educational angle but at the same time moral fibre is strengthened to stand the knock-downs in real life and all victory feast is weaning. Life has its winners and winners of defeats. The boys must learn to value both. Then, too, modern life requires team play, cooperation, and loyalty to some one or some cause. Then, too, modern life requires and other commendable qualities meet with the decided approval of the coach, the school administrator, and the school sportsmanship, foul play, meets with disprobation strongly, the boy practices inhibition of the bad traits, even though these traits have been learned and learns to the things that met with social approval. Thus athletics may become a great molder of ideals and attitudes to prepare the boy for the real strug- Use Of Leisure Time A great problem in society today is the proper use of leisure time. There is so much more of it in this world than in the past, and the work of the world. Games and athletic sports for palyer and spectator help maintain and develop physical efficiency, in the several seasons, in the eight or nine Saturday afternoons, watching the see-saving interests of the two teams on grid-iron breathe fresh air and live apart for the masses. A sodid matter of making a living. In a country like ours this sort of thing is almost as essential as religion for the masses, whose pleasures might otherwise be in the planning or pursuit of crime. Coach Important The coach is the all important cog in this scheme of character formation. Alumni and educational authorities must think less of the coach, which is quickly passed by, and more of the citizen making phases of the sport. The native perverseness of some lads whose endocrine secretions are deprived for himself and the group it has been my observation that the boy on the team who continually beats the gun, slugs under the pile, holds when he can, is going to employ just such tactics as the coach or doctor. He will win his bread by the method he used to win his game. Today, however, the grandstand at the fight, the baseball or football game, moves down the hater-hater, the non-mixer, the crook, the poor sport. My plea is for alumni and school men of the old school to consider the games of today in light of the most modern educational objection. Great Influence My reason for writing is to call to your attention the splendid body of coaches who are endeavoring to build a team that amidst tremendous handicaps, such as too much work, and pressure from well intending but often misguided, alumni and administrators. I am not the coach who does not all the coaches who are doing great work for the youth of this generation for we might miss one. Yet the writer does not know a coach whose influence is positively dangerous and decades ago. In the passing of Watson at Howard and Drew of Morgan, the game is losing two good sportsmen and strong mentors, although in their places, two equally men have come on, the scene.

C.-The Omega Fai Phi Fraternity quintet was severely trounced by the Litchman Five at Lincoln Colonade last Thursday evening, the first of two 82-31. The game from the outset gave every indication of being a one-sided affair. At no time during the 40 minutes of play were the local champs threaten.

Race Boxers All New York Spor Igoe, Answering Fan Who C Tells Of How He Took Sa Cities Dozen Boxers Wh Answering a letter from a fan who took him to task for alleged unfairness to Young Jack Thompson, since he was a fan of his hitman with his sensational knockout of Joe Dundee in Chicago, Huey Ige comes to his own defense in his "Paradon My Glove" column in the New York World. The fan objected to the placing of Young Clinton ahead of Thompson, the weter list and accused Ige of trying to take Jack Johnson's hitting powers away from him. Answering his critic, Ige explains: "I don't know how long Mister Paterson has been around. He says he is a follower of you, but I don't know where the parade? Was he around when I insisted that Jeffries give Jack Johnson his chance, since both were heavyweight fighters and both in the same game? Was he around when I insisted that Johnson would win the title on real ability if ever they met? "Do I have to swallow he fallacy that Jack Johnson was a great hitter when I KNOW that he wasn't a saw Johnson in some way, but perhaps Mister Patterson, ever laid eyes on him, and I KNOW that he was not a great hitter because he rarely won fights with knockouts. As years went along he became a great with a right hand uppercut and appeared to be a terrific hitter. It was the other fellow's coming in recklessly that added force to Johnson's blows. He was NOT a great hitter, and the record answer the question in cold type.

They were both charged by out of the inter-city tournament in Philadelphia. Elmer Stout, of Newark, the only other Negro entrant, was forced out in the same game. They were both charged by game officials with "violating the rules," and they both took the matter to court and won out over the officials—thus proving that the Negro players were not violated the rules of the game. But the colored men then voluntarily quit the tournament because they discovered the determination of officials to get them out. They had to be discontinued, adjourned to some other city, or broken up entirely. The colored men decided that they would quit rather than to see some of the "innocent players, who had good starts, made to suffer by the waving of the glove by gyer."

In the interest of truth, all American champions not as simply "champions," Tunney should be the "white heavyweight champion of the world," and so on with all the others. We find this discrimination at work when we decide the contest rests with the discretion and judgement of the "judges." Negroes can only win, as a rule, where the contest decides itself. For example, if it is a matter of running, the Negroes can decide it. If the thing decides itself, it is the same with jumping, or speed swimming, or any other form of overt and self-evident superiority. But in dying for form we have seen the Negroes must decide because the judges" must decide who diver did it.

With football at its present high state of development, the selection of an All-Southern or an All-American or an All-Sandlot team of careful guessing no matter who does the selecting, the writer will pick a football squad that in our opinion could go on the field and beat any There are several reasons for this move. The first is fully explained above. If just one "first team" is selected, the team will be the one that the men named in these perths are unquestionably the best in the community, but in other positions one must follow a system of previews that arrive before the team is based on personal prejudices. at conclusions that are bonded. In the age of football when all-star teams are actually being selected for purpose of playing games against other all-star outings any selection of an "All-Anything" team would be an empty gesture unless the players selected were theoretically fit to play together on a team. WILL PLAYERS FIT TOGETHER? By this method of reasoning it is entirely evident that the selection of one team of 11 men would be palpably a mistake, whereas the idea of 33 of the best men in the South Carolina team would be palpably a better combination. One individual might be a better all-round football player than the other man for his position, but he might not fit into one team while he did the other man; this selection is not a better combination and actual observation is occasionally as each Southern team was observed in action. By this method of reasoning it one team of 11 men would be paired of 33 of the best men in this best combo better all-round football player that he might not fit into one team while this selection would be as closely as possible as each South and of reasoning it is entirely evident that when would be palpably a mistake, when would be perfectly well, that pick his best combinations.

Fagan, Slaughter, Kilgore and Warren, would add the reserve strength and are just as good as the starters. Any coach would have a hard time picking the ones to start unless he would undertake to start his experienced men, and that would certainly give Hainey gooor the starting assignment. Hainey and Warren graduate next spring. ROBINSON BEST CENTER Robinson, better known in the Southland as "Hog Man", Mann, and Hardy, would get the center post. We would start Robinson while Mann and Hardy, would get the left post. Robinson has more experience. In a case of emergency he could fill out on the ends as will any man.

Eating is necessary to health. But overeating ruins muscles. Exercise. is the strongest strength can be overdone — carried to extremes. In our schools and colleges today we find many boys, and girls too, entering into competitive sports. If instead they were required to take individual corrective gymnastics to improve their bodily mechanics and to strengthen certain organic conditions. Competitive athletics can rightly classed as corrective exercises. The Harvard Plan Harvard University has recently adopted a plan of examining entering students and rating them according to their posture and general condition. Those who are rated as good are admitted to form of athletes. They are required to spend a term, or as much time as is necessary in a special corrective class. This splendid idea is gaining popularity in other institutions in this country. Every person before joining an athletic team, should be required to take a thorough physical examination. The university looking over by a physician who is paid to examine the entire school, but should involve a thorough charting of the physical limitations and possibilities of the individual to participate in sports, and others should be required even against their wills and inclinations; to engage in certain definite athletic activities. The most common mistake made by athletes going into training is to do too much in the beginning. An ideal motto would be to start slowly. Candidates for a cross country run or one-half or three miles are never permitted to run the complete distance until after several weeks of careful training. Candidates deserves short distance sprints and running at a jogrot, combined with long walks or hikes. This is a sample of a form of athletics most apt to result in the so-called overcrowding. Yet, proper training for building up strong short distances and creating powers of endurance that cannot be sequenced by any other sport. It is far superior in these respects, though not comparable in character training value. Emphasis On Tennis Emphasis On Tennis Tennis is a competitive sport that is responsive to attention in our schools and colleges because it can be followed up in later life. Yet, even tennis, is too often emphasized and exaggerated. In tennis, we match the player will cover a distance equivalent to more than five miles. Any coach or trainer would throw up his hands in horror at the threat of a five mile race. In training for tennis tournaments, boys would do well to restrict their practice to not more than three or four sets a day because the danger of over-training that is so common in many sports. How To Prevent Defects Statistical studies, especially those of the draft in connection with the physical defects of the physical defects of adult life could have been prevented had the proper corrective exercises been given in childhood. Players accomplish a very great deal in giving natural posture, and corrective gymnastics can offset many of the physical abnormalities caused by environment of confinement and strain under which we live.

FORMER WORLD CHAMP MAY FIGHT GODFREY Manassa Mauler Said To Be Considering Plan To Battle George Would Fight Next Summer With Rickard Promoting PHILADELPHIA—A bout between George Godfrey, Leiperville heavyweight, and Jack Dempsey looms in the offing, hanging precariously from one little word—if. The proposed battle may come off next summer, according to Gordon Mackay, of the Philadelphia "Record." Writing of the developments that have taken place and those that can be seen in a rather near future, Mr. Mackay says: "Jack Dempsey and George Godfrey may battle next summer, under the auspices of Tex Rovkard. Friends of the Manassa Maura have already suggested that former champion could make a big haul fighting the giant blackamoor than in fooling around with Jack Sharkey and lesser fry. The whilom fistic king not one heckened out now how he underer, consideration. "Rickard's fuss with Sharkey and his contempt for the Loquacious Lett's claims are real, be it the Tolkastan and get the big ebony gladiator of Leipersville to war in his stead. "This is the bolt from the blue that hits yours truly yesterday. . . It came from a source that cannot be trusted, and that truth and accuracy that the party who is the authority for the statement declared that Dempsey in Los Angeles was pondering the matter now, and might be relied on an annual report for months. "As soon as Jack knows whether or not he is fit to re-enter the ring he'll let Rickard know," stated our informant. "Then watch for the fireworks that will be thrown in the battle. George will get this shot, because Dempsey and a giant like Godfrey would outdraw any pain that would be thrown into the ring." "Don't say that the writer was impressed because he was exactly that. Together with this utterance by one who should certainly be posted, the writer saw other evidences that the plans for a Dempsey-Godrey battle have progressed away beyond the talking "Dempsey heard this with much attention. Finally he said that he had no objection to a Godfrey battle, but doubted if Dougherty would consent to such a battle, and wendta between himself and the Baron. "One of the company volunteered to talk to Dougherty. Jimmy, at that very moment, happened to be in Los Angeles, where he had gone to second Joe Anderson and the scheme to surprise before the Baron to the surprise of everybody, said he. 'always liked 'Jack, anyway.' Who'll Promote It? "I'm willing to let Godfrey fight Dempsey, said the Baron. If you can get somebody to promote the match, he would do it. But this Reibeld. How won't handle Godfrey at all, or at least, he wouldn't in the past." This language is not the exact words of funny, but it is the same as given as such by our informant. "Dougherty was informed that Dempsey could be trusted to handle that end of the business. **Sharkey Business Explodes** "Now comes the odd thing connected with the entire business. This chatter between friends took longer than more than two days. Hardly more than two days had elapsed before the Rickard-Sharkey thing broke loose. The chap who gave us the information hinted that this was part of a plan to get the biggest path for Dempsey and Godfrey to get together. "Little doubt can be held that such a battle would attract a tremendous gate. The biggest the heavweight class would seem an ideal opponent for Jack. Dempsey and Rickard meet in Miami soon. but it was hinted to us that the whole thing was intended to 'bring' before that power." Godfrey To Fight Al Walker Jan. 7th PHILADELPHIA Pa.-Gee. Godfrey, heavyweight contender, has been signed to meet Al Walker in a ten-room bout here January 7th. Walker, originally from Florida, is one of the most powerful fighters in the reputation as a knockout that the envy of a lot of heavyweight scars. In 58 fights, Walker has permitted one of them to go the full limb with him. The New Yorker, weighing 220 pounds usually, is a terrific puncher with a switch somewhat resembling his attack. He dresses his opponents up with a swing; he hand to the head and then comes with a terrificly likely lieutenant, either the body or the chin as his target. A. & T.

THOMPSON TELLS HOW HE GOT DUNDEE BOUT LOS ANGELES, Cal.-Young Jack Thompson, the San Francisco welterweight who knocked out Champion Joe Dundee in a sensational two-round upset, said that aided him to get the bout against Dundee. Thompson, with no boasting, told of the champion's belief that he could beat the west coast flash. He now knows anything about me, except what his brother told him, and he thought I was easy." declared Thompson. "Of course, it was hard for him to find out anything of my record, because I fight in the record book. When I started fighting, I figured that if a fellow made a record that was too impressive, it might keep him from getting the gib shot. I didn't have little things to myself. So, when Dundee began to look around to see who I was, there were very few things he could find and be certain of. He naturally decided that a fighter without a record must be something of a Incidentally, Thompson was beaten after the Dundee fight by jackets he had been wearing to have been something funny about that battle, for Young Jack swears he's going to fight the Fields genius, if he has to do it in the street. 4 Sets Of Brothers On Champion "11" BLUEFIELD, W.

Just how many of the club owners are going to respond to the invitation to meet in the Quincy City is worth doubt, as some of them have been skittish since developments following the several meetings held last winter in the City of Brotherly Love. However, it is expected that George Rossier who holds the reins of the Baltimore Black Sox, will be there, in addition to the former manager of the Hildale Club; James of the clan Keenan, head noise of the Lincoln Giants; Alex Pompez, owner of the Cuban Stars; and mebbe, the portly Colonel Jacob Strothers. It is pretty certain that Nathaniel the Strong will NOT be present, probably because of busying himself with special duties. There has been spread, via the grapevine telegraph, dope which would make one believe that Washington, D. C. will make a bid for a berth if the proposed league goes O. K. O. And out of Brooklyn have come rumblings of an effort to make the league a prowler with an opponent loop. What other possibilities there are we don't know, but there must be some more. * The aim of these clubs is organized baseball by means of a league. Now mind you, brethren, as I have continually harped, THERE NEVER WAS A LEAGUE. There was an ATTEMPT at one; but, as for an honest-to-goodness, efficient league, we have no such intention. If I FUNCTIONING league is formed in the East, it will be the first one. Mark that on your cuff. As the wind now blows the chances for a league look slim—yet they are a long ways from being hopeless. To repeat a few things that we said months ago, we agree that a willingness to let bygones be bygones and build for future security. That is asking a whole lot, some of the moguls seem to think. How can they forget? others ask. "Stuff. But somehow the process of give and take must be utilized before even the first match." looks Next, there must be something more material—mazuma, bucks, the long green, or whatever you choose to call it—lad down as an evidence of good faith that the parties entering agreements are on the square and mean to live up to them. Repetting our number of the are advocating that the players should be given the deposit of no less than $500, better still $1,000 or $2,000 as an evidence of good faith that they intend to live up to the tenets of the organization of which they desire to become a part. This done, the various members submit suggestions, elect officers, and do various duties. Then they lead the organization to comfortably accommodate baseball fans, buy some decent uniforms, set a reasonable price scale and then play ball. There is a galaxy of athletic material available awaiting proper management and proper pay. These are the essential things to the players and if the owners and managers of the spirit instigate that they enter into the intentions of the gangster they intend and they can build up an organization that will lend prestige as well as financial success to their labors and sacrifices. Why would Hildale, out of organized baseball last year, want to be in an organized body if it did not feel that in union there is strength? There is money in organized baseball, but it can't all be gotten in one day. And mark my words there are going to be some drastic shakeups among the players and possibly among the managers of some of the clubs. Ben Taylor, pilot of the Black Sox, has been approached by "Ike" Washington of the Atlantic City Bacharachs, to manage the Bees next season, it became known this week. Ben, who was offered a position in the Stammington Black Barons, will be drawn for a number of reasons. Whether or not Taylor would be satisfied at leaving Baltimore is hard to say. He has business here, having recently opened a new pool room. It is no doubt that he will offer. Whether or not he would be released by Rossiter is a question in debate. It is no secret that there are one of two players that the Black Sox mogul would like to see sporting the colors of the Monumental club city, but whether or not he would prefer their services to the loss of those of Taylor is too much to consider. There are a number of other contemplated shifts, and you can mark my word there will be a lot of players sporting different uniforms when the season for swatting the old apple rods will become the "Soccer club" in the next season? Will they remain the "Soccer club next season"? The Black Sox outfield will no doubt remain intact unless it is possible to get "Fats" Jenkins down here which is highly improbable. New pitchers are needed. It may seem that this is rather easy to be giving detention consideration to such matters, but it is important that the baseball magnates should have gotten together in November instead of waiting until January. There is no time to lose and if organized baseball is to be in the saddle in the East in 1929 those interested will have to do some fast work. Our faith remains unshaken and we are bound to leave New York Sunday night for Key West, Fla, where he will board an aeroplane that will take him to his home folks in Havana. Cuba. The suddenness with which this young boxer rose to fame may not impress the casal reader unless he has been following the fortunes of the bantamweight since Listen to what his manager, Louis Guiterzero, has to say about him: "Chocolate," he said, "came to New York penniless only six months ago. In the first bout he received $60 and but little profit was realized from this battle. In his next engagement he received $1,000 in the third bout sum of $60. But this was providing him with enough food and shelter. "Then he was taken by Howard Griffiths of the St. Nicholas Arena and became famous overnight. In his first bout at the St. Nick with Sammy Tisch, Chocolate. received $1,000. Then came his match with Johnny Erickson, and he received $1,000 for the match." Rex Pinkey Silverberg and Jackie Schweitzer, which netted him about $1,000. "Of course, like others who became prominent in the fictile 'cradle of champions', as the St. Nick is known, he went on in a feature bout at the Garden with Scoafer; for which he was paid $2,500. His last bout with Johnny Heltzer at the St. Nick was $1,500. He won $1,000. Harlem he received a total of $5,000 for two bouts. To-night he cut at the St. Nick for his bout with Paluso will net him at least $3,000. From all this I see a moral that any youngster who sticks faithfully to his task, no matter what it may be, is bound to attain a meed of success. He is certainly estimated that Chocolate has cleaned up at least $20,000 in the six months he has been in the United States. How much of this is clear profit to him we are not in a position to say, or how much he has saved, of this department does not know. But if he has saved one-third of his pile larger than the other, a people for THREE YEARS. SALAMANDA: Now try to laft that off. And won't everybody be GLAD to see him? IT MAY SEEM RASH to say this so early in the season, but it is the opinion of this column, that barring injuries due to the Morgan college basketball team, the other collegiate championship, this pilar wail enthusiastic over individual performances or team showings, particularly before sufficient time has been given to see these performers "off and on," but after seeing the Bears against the Athenians. I have ventured the above assertion, and I am not stronger than it was last year. Every member of the team is a good shot and every one is good on defensive play. Morgan's passing system is little short of dazzling. The boys seem to play the game for the love of and fight every minute. My description might be able to add nothing to it, but as far as college is concerned it looks as if Morgan is "in free" and I'm not overlooking Wilberforce, Clark and Virginia Seminare. Watch the Morgan Bears, and if ever you get a chance to see them in action we advise you to recognize opportunity. A PARTING SHOT in the little controversy between Baxter Don Goodall, editor of the Howard University "Hilton," and Le Roy S. Hart, Director of the Department of Education at Bluefield Institute, in the matter of the unsportsmanlike conduct of Howard football players in the Howard-Bluffield game, is fired this week by Mr. Hart, who from this comedy, the Athenians, says: Editor: The Afro-American: "Please allow me to call attention to a communication from Baxter Don Goodall, of the Howard University "Hilton," in issuance of December 22 in the column. The training Rassley, relative to a letter of mine in the issue of December 8, concerning the Howard- "I am certainly glad to note that, according to Mr. Goodall, Howard-design not support poor sportmanship. But such a statement was wholly unnecessary," he was misled by NEWSPAPER accounts, but I could not have been misled by what I heard and saw. Further, Editor Goodall does not seem to be able to explain why he was wrong when he implies that I must have had a grievance against Howard University. Of course, he is forgiven, since he does not know my connections. Again, between Howard and Lincoln exists a brotherly rivalry of the constructive kind. I am a Lin- "But Mr. Goodall is quite right when he is 'assured' that the communication did not represent opinion, and I might add that I am not even officially connected with the athletic department. Of course, the good editor will admit that to head a department does not mean that "The gentleman suggests that I am 'setting a doubtful example of leadership' by expressing MY opinion on public conduct that affected every man of color. Well, that is HIS opinion, to which he is surely entitled. I will not question the validity of his dogmatic assertion." "But let me suggest in conclusion that the Hilltop editor and the line of demarcation between 'sensational journalistic tactics' and the personal opinion of a reader of a journal. Also it would be of further value to him to differentiate critics. Of course he knows there are two kinds—constructive and destructive. It was my honest intent to place my communication of December 8 in the constructive category." ___ ___ WE FEEL VERY HAPPY over the numerous cards and messages of good will received during the Christmas season from friends scattered the country over. And we feel mighty proud too, to know that here and there are those to whom we are linked by a bond of friendship. It is this column's resolution, and we're only making one, to strive to give the readers of these pages the best and timeliest and most complete information available on the sport happenings from week to week. And if your favorite column succeeds, can be attributed to the co-operation of this band of friends.

"Babe Ruth" Wilson takes his cut at the ball like Zach Wheat, forging a new game at Houston, Tex.-In a recent game at Fort Worth, Rucker was pitching for Houston and Payne batted for him in the first two games, to 5.4, the winning run scoring on Payne's hit. Jackman went in and pitched the last half of the ninth. Pt. Worth failed to score, and the team won with the victory. Houston fan.

Batter declares batting out second. Run second out. Was he right?-R. S. A. A.-R. S. A., please don' lose these answers. Rump does not count as if it did not legally score. If pitcher had pitched to a batter, he outpaced and run would have been counted, but in this case it was caught before another play had been made. Pitcher is charged with an error, and is not credited with a score. Runner on second was not out. In-field fly automatically retired batter, and double penalty cannot be inflicted in play of this kind. When on second, but out, then the batter would be entitled to a hit because the base runner was hit by a batted ball. Obviously the batter could not get a hit and be out on the same play, and the infield, supervised by the coach. How many positions can Oscar Q-How many positions can Oscar Charleston play?

Springs a noted dancer, and I was seated behind us as closely behind we were a man and a woman, the former being a meticulous score-keeper, who wanted his record of the game to be full and complete, and correct in detail. He was at a loss to know how to score the play on his card and announced his perplexity to his companion. "I wonder how I should score the Rabbit on that," he mused. "Oh! replied the Falette, "just mute out' by a bare, and let it go at that." And they say the feminine doesn't know her base ball.

CHURCH Temporary Memphis Postmaster Could Be Given Permanent Job LILY-WHITES SEEK NAMING OF ANOTHER MEMPHIS, TENN. (Special)—Over the head of Edward Sheely this city lily, white republicans are continuing their campaign to wrest control of the state from R. R. Church. Sheely holds only a temporary appointment and when he got that angered lily writes by writing a statement for publication in which he gave the credit for it to Church and Congressman Will Taylor. The statement, even his political enemies admit. He has kept his office free from political turmoil, attended to business and had a pleasant word for everyone. The fight is not on Sheely. The fight is on Bob Church. If Sheely should win the permanent employment, some fear the public would consider Bob Church still to be in They also claim to have understood that Hover proposes to decompose in the South. "carpetageres in the South. Although Hover doesn't take the role of a political leader, his friends already tremble political influence. At present they are believed to be using this influence to get the permanent appointment. New Friendly Church and Taylor are working just as hard to get Shetty named postmaster-general, whose autographed picture hangs on the wall of Church's Beale avenue office. New wants a new examination of the postmaster-general's grants. This would give Shetty a chance to get on the eligible list. But the Civil Service Commission is not keen to order. Washington has much trouble at Memphis they hesitate to act. Politicians see in the delay the influence of the postmaster-general to be kept in his present status until Hoover comes in, they have no doubt that a Republican who has always fought Bob Church will not care so much about . . . Memphis postmastership, the lily whites say, "but we want Hoover to build up a strong white mans party in the South. The time is Coolidge Said to Favor Sheely If President Coolidge should send a postmastership at Memphis without the formality of civil service exami- nation, Sheely will be appointed the Senate, Sen. Mo- Kellar predicted today. He said Sheely was one of the finest men who ever served in the Memphis Reports here are that Coolidge planned such action.

It is these formidable regions it has been able to explore, memorials have recently been held in Washington, in New York and other places for Amundsen.

This school is the first of the colored schools to be tested, but others will be tested in the near future. Out of 650 students, 70 were tested in the test. Of these 70 have been taken to the clinic by Mrs. Trotman. Brooklyn Babble Retail District Proposed Tin.: Square Section BROOKLYN, N.

I asked for a new high school one year and got it and then for a new school and got it. This would run into the hundred thousands, or millions. Knowing that money has almost been prohibited from "sulating. I have taken that fact into consideration and have only asked, for something that will cost only a few thousand, kindly request, dear Santa to bring a new grand stand for the Black Sox Baseball Grounds. The people all say they are tired of messing their clothes up down the house and they can prevent the baseball game over the radio. If any of you are down that way stop in and see if he put a grand stand in my stocking. The Official Debute When Christmas nineteen twenty-seven rolled around it found the Half Century Club. half dead. Nobody particularly tried to doctor so the holidays rolled away. without the club putting on its official "too Christmas" dress, the patient, like it does most patients, and are nineteen twenty-eight brings us to the holiday season, we find the former half. dead Half Century Club as full of vim. vigor and vitality as it is possible for a club like this, being rested in time the Half Century intends to do its stuff in good style, this year. In the past there has been a running or limping fight in it between the club members and their wives. The wives could never see why so many young girls had to be invited. In their opinion it only meant keep them plastered their seats all right for their husbands brot them humiliation back upon themselves by trying to see that the young ladies danced every dance. The "sawk" was not so loud as it was persistent, and in the end the "mamas" won their point. The young girls were left out practically and the next gathering was obviously so ancient everybody decided something had to be done. This year there are to be eleven debutantes and dutantes will be escorted to their boy friends who will go over and dance with their host's wife, without being notified to that effect. Before the dance there will be dinner parties, parties parties and card parties and possibly enough wine will be splashed to get them all in good humor. There to dance hall and a pleasant evening. I do not know who the young escorts will be be but I have a list of the eleven debs in front of me as I write and upon my word I know that some of these girls have been out before. may be their first time to come out at the Half Century, but Lord knows some of these girls have made several debits. Now, is this fair to let one girl make two or three oebits, and some girls can't make any? any? Several young girls have asked my advice in the matter. did I have told them that I did not think it right at all but on the other hand if they would make a private debut, next year the Half C curv would know that they wanted to come out again and would make arrangements for them. If they can't wait until next year I advise that they pull some wires and get a bid to the Baltimore Lincoln Prom which they tell me is very good. This will come off during the holidays and is informal, making it much easier. Falling in that I would suggest the girls get in touch with Ike Dixon or I. l. t. h. t. Gamby and find out what dances they have scheduled for the Vulte tide. Their dances never get over fifty cents and I know hundreds of girls who have made their debuts at their dances and now have regular appearances to seem to be enjoying life impressively. Give Roland A Chrance Years ago when Poland. eyes was singing in church and the admission was fifty cents, it was with a great deal of effort that he was forcibly the public. The best he could do here in a town of one hundred thousand colored people was a one-night stand in a church. It could not be truthfully said colored people gave him muchistance, but now that he has arrived, they all wan to knock him out for singing in a theatre where colored people had to go to the gallery.

Public Schools Here Celebrate With Holiday Festivities "Colreidge Taylor Estates" Exhibited As School 122 Show Excellent Handiwork. Many Christmas Programs End First Half Of Year. To the 18,000 children in the public schools of Baltimore*Christmas is not only the fete of fetes, with the possible exception of graduation, but it is also a school harvest season that still all ages gather in quite a few results of nearly half a year's work. Christmas programs, representing often hours of practice in song, recitation and dance; Christmas trees replete with handmade ornaments; brimming boards had to be careful planning; bulletin boards with pictu, booklets, compositions, drawings and many other school room products; projects displays of weeks and weeks of cooperative work all indicate a rather ful and festive harvest time. Hill avenue, Coleridge Taylor School, Preston street near Drudg Hill avenue, various groups of classes celebrated the holiday season. A primary group under the direction of Missss Morris, Scott, Pennington, Bennett and rMs. Saunders, gave an idea of Santa's Toyland after which toys made by the children were taken home.

Oh *, ae boy! me for the bright lights. “esq \) Toodie-oo, pip-pip, 1 must be pop- . ees | ping!—Ooh, excuse me, Anson, me boy,” the tall brown eyed athletic youth pivoted on his toes and caught a sleekly handsome, but narrow chested, sallow. skinned young man firmly by the upper arm. ~ He was just in time. The firm hold was all that saved the other fellow from the impetus of the excursion train. “Y-y-your e-conduct,” the sleek haired An- son caught his breath with a gulp, “is most un- becoming, David. If you have no respect for your- self you should respect the aged. You almost projected me against Deacon Brown, here.” He turned and with profuse apologies and ostentatious politeness assisted a, hawk nosed, thin lipped old black man just behind him, down onto the crowded platform of the railway station train shed. “Hey, which way Dave?” . “Hello, Annie.” “Hi, Sis Benson!” * “Well, fu goodness sakes, how are you, Brother Allisen.” The milling crowd surged backward and for- ward in a slowly advancing stream of happy holi- day makers, tangled and untangled themselves in joyous groups, calling greetings and inquiries across a sweating and laughing sea of color. David Conway’s golden bronze face flushed angrliy as he turned away from the oily politeness of the super-virtuous Anson Bledsoe. His soft brown eyes were frankly cynical and his wide, generous lips were hard with the unac- customed hardness of a sneer. CABARET BOUND “I'm going out and hunt up the wildest and toughest cabaret in this man’s town and enjoy myself.’” . David called the information over the heads of the crowd to a wide’ faced, flat headed youth at the far edge. His young, full toned voice carried with sur- prising clearness. The round faced young scapegrace grinned appreciatively, showing all the strong white teeth in his big, loose-lipped mouth. The more daring youngsters in the crowd tit- tered audibly. The less candid ones smiled furtively or looked knowingly at each other and longingly at David, envious of a bravery that dared to so flaunt the established order of things as they knew them in their small town limitations. Only the impeccable Anson, gasped in- hor- ror with -the elder, and more or less sanctimoni- ous portion of the holiday seekers. “He. that soweth the wind shall reap the whirlwind.” The words fell aptly from his down drawn, sensuous lips. He shook his head and looked with veiled eagerness for the approbation of the bent little old black man whose arm he still held. It came almost immediately in a fervent and loudly emphatic ‘‘amen, amen, you sure are right, Brother Anson, son, that Davy Conway is ripe for the burnin’, he sure is. “Lawd, Lawd, what a cross for his good old mother and daddy that sinful child is goin’ ’t be.” The old man’s thin lips were drawn down in almost a replica of the lines that dragged at the corners of the younger man’s lips. The expression made his long hooked nose look even more predatory than usual. . fils tittie DlaCK eyes Seemed tO snap With an almost evil enjoyment at the possibility of fullfill- ment of his dire prophecy. “Tek, tek,” he clacked malevolently. ‘% Teck, tek, clucked the crowd in his immedi- ately vicinity, assentingly. * . But David, the sneer still on his lips, the eyn- icism still clouding the clearness of his frank, brown eyes, was far down the wooden walk be- tween the long trains. He disappeared up the stairs that led to the street arm in arm with the round faced scape- grace of Etingford, the little home-town fifty miles jaway. , = . ANSON GETS AWAY _ Eyes raised in pious condemnation and clans my, cotton soft hands clasping the elbow of Dea. con Brown, Anson Bledsoe came slowly up to the street level. His short, quick steps were ostentatiously tim- ed to the slower, more laborious walking of the older man. ‘ ; At the street level he turned. . “Pl have to leave you here, Brother Brown,” he said, and his tone was reluctant as though part- ing gave him pain. “You see, I have some important matters of business to attend to while I have the opportunity. The Sunday School Publishing House has not. been so prompt in sending our literature as I should wish. I believe as the superintendent.of our Sab- baht school it is my duty to investigate that matter while I have this golden opportunity.” : He paused oratorically. . ; “That’s a mighty fine idea, son,” the old dea- con’s voice was eagerly hopeful. “Doesn't you want me to go along with you. As a deacon of the church my inflooence might - push them folks up some.” : " "Ahem!" The short expression sounded almost like a gasp of dismay. "Er-er-I-that would be fine, Brother Brown, but —unfortunately I am compelled to attend several other matters of business before going to the Publishing House and then later this evening I have planned to attend a special young people's meeting at the Y. M. C. A. I shall see you on the way home——" The note of reluctance in the voice was singularly slurred over, almost one might presume, in the light of the speaker's abrupt departure, wholly lacking. With a sigh of regretful longing, Deacon Brown fell back with the slower and less interesting companions of his own group. "If they ever was a fine Christian young man, it's Brother Anson Bledsoe," he said, and his voice was genuinely appreciative. "That boy is goin' to make his mark in this world. If we had more like him and fewer like that Dave Conway we'd be a heap sight better off." In Defense Of Dave "Oh, I dumno, all that glitters ain't gold—an' that Conway boy may not be as bad as he sounds." "They ain't no young man that runs after strange wimmen that has any thing good about him, an' that's what them cabarets is. They are the hants of strange women." Deacon Brown's voice rose to a shrill pitch of contentious emphasis. "They ain't no excuse for you or anybody else to hold up for that boy, Allsie. They ain't none." He almost shrieked the last word. Old Aunt Ailsie contented herself with a grumbling little murmur of dissent and held young Hurd Garston's arm a bit tighter. Hurd smiled down at her reassuringly. "We'll be, gettin' on the street car pretty soon, granny. Ellen is gettin' a big dinner ready for you or she woulda come down to meet you herself. We certainly are mighty glad you could come. Seems like the city isn't so strange and lonesome for us with you here." "I gettin' purty, old or this sort of travelin', Hurd, but I said I'd come on this 'scurston efh you children was so powerful anxious to heme and here I be." She smiled up at the big youth perkily like a bright eyed little magpie, all thought of David and Anson and Deacon Brown wiped out of her existence. The Black Bottom. The bright lights of a big electric sign on the Black Bottom Cabaret winked and blinked the name in great red letters against the blue background of sky above the tall building that housed it. David Conway, his eyes bright with the unaccustomed stimulation of a glass of wine stood looking up at the letters from the vantage point of the corner diagonally opposite. He had just come out of the door of a brightly lighted, but somehow tiny looking drug store behind him. By his side, holding onto his arm and swaying slightly was the round faced ne'er-do-well, with whom he had left the milling crowd of incoming friends and acquaintances that morning. A passing breeze wafted the smell of illicit liquor to his nostrils. He smiled a bit excitedly and peered into the bleary eyes of his companion. "Let's go over to that cabaret, Herb," he said, "I votta do something to get the smell of that holy hypocrite, Anson Eldsoe, out of my nostrils. I've tried all day to get away from the stink of his four-flush ing sanctimoniousness and blamed if it doesn't stick yet. Even you can't outsmell it and Lord knows that corn you've lapped up smells to high heaven." He smiled again, mirthlessly. "Aw rish, come on lesh go! Back Boshom Cabaret ish aw rish. Purty girlish, good likker at Back Boshom, C'mon, lesh go!" The sodden eyed youths swayed uncertainly as they stepped out together. Holding to david's arm and lifting each foot carefully before he set it down he made the little journey across the street an event that brot laughter to the little group of loiterers left behind. The two disappeared into the brightly lighted doorway of the "Black Bottom Cabaret." Gay Times The shrill, savage music of a jazz band rushed at them and banged around as they stepped into the brilliantly lighted room. Back and forth across the floor, circling in and out between the tables among the laughing diners, a dozen half naked chorus girls swayed and careened. They snapped their fingers in the air as they shrieked a smutty blues song to the sailing accompaniment of the whining saxophones. They whirled their sleek bodies in wild abandon to the blaring horns and booming drums. Herb Wilks' drink-blurred eyes suddenly leered into a certain bestial clearness as he slumped into a chair to which a nearby waited helped David convey him. "Hot Baby," he mouthed through slobbery lips as a full bosomed brown girl brushed him with her bare rounded body in passing. David's breath came fast through parted lips in the smoke-filled sense-sinciting atmosphere of the crowded room. Perspiration gathered in the palms of his hands. His eyes were burning, eager. Then, suddenly the twisting, glowworm line of girls vanished behind a tinselled forest backdrop through the scenic trees surrounding the simulated glade that was the stage at the end of the long room. The music stopped, abruptly. The lights went out. A tense bush fell over the merry-makers at the scattered tables. The whole world seemed to be waiting in that expectant hush for something. Then, across the silence there came a faint brushing of sound from a single instrument in the shadowy orchestra pit. It was like breeze swept ripples on a still pool. A single star of light glowed far back among the trees apparently advancing along the painted path, that seemed, in its faint glow, to stretch away and away to infinite distances in a great wood. As it came closer the star seemed to be growing brighter and brighter as instrument after instrument in the orchestra pit added its volume of cadenced sound to the rising wave of the first. The Bronze Dancer Then, at length, like a full blown sun breaking into blinding glory, the red flashlight around a nude, bronze-gold body like a crimson aureole. The thundering flood of sound from the full orchestra seemed to fling the red gold figure up and out into the small open glade that was the center of the stance setting. Entirely nude but for a thin cloth of orange silk, the girl seemed to float high for a moment on the reverberating tide of sound. Then with a sudden leaping, twisting movement she became transformed into the soul of the leaping, twisting, beating theme of savage jazz rhythm that blared and whined from the darkened pit at her feet. She was bestial passions, ensouled. Madly the crowded, throng broke out as if through one throat with caucous cries of her name, "Zola! Zola!" Faces gleamed tensely salacious through the murky half light of the shadowed room. Eyes glittered like the eyes of the jungle beasts. Hands, were, clenched. Breath hissed or was drawn in long room like blubbles at the bottom of room likeubbles at the bottom of a sea of sound, only to break again and again into reverberating thunder of that one word, "Zola! Zola!" The lights went on and still the woman danced. Down she came now, among the sense-crazed men at the tables. Her eyes, soft, languorous, inviting eyes, rested on David. Then, as though shocked into some sudden sense of horror, turned quickly away and sought other eyes. Breathlessly, David followed the raceful, wild rhythm of her swaying body. His was the first eye to see the clutching saffron colored hands that thrust out and gripped the slender swaying torso. The woman screamed and, too late, swayed back and away. The man had kissed her brown body just where the slender column of her throat rose above the soft curve of her shoulder. The man was Anson Bledsoe. Dave To The Rescue Waiters, leaped to the girl's rescue. But they, too, were too late. David's fist had already stretched the narrow shouldered sleeky handsome beast at the feet of the dancer. It was over in an instant. Breathing heavily with repressed excitement David seated himself again at the table trying hard to resume the unconscious manner of one who had done nothing unusual. The discomfited Anson, none the worse for a slowly reddening eye crawled sheepishly to his feet and scattered for the men's room off the lobby. Every eye in the room focused on the road shoulders and square-jawed bronze face of the country lad. Under the multiple scrutiny David reddened and twisted uncomfortably. Two men seated at a table in the farther corner eyed him appraisingly. "Gee, what a wallop that bird carries." The speaker, a slender, weak-faced boy of about twenty, looked across at his companion, a big brute of a man with pear shaped head and thick, pendulous lips. "That guy went down like a rock to the bottom of the river." "You said it, he carries a wallop all right." Big Oott's suilen little eyes were craftily appraising the brown eyed young giant at the far table. "He looks like mother's hope up to the city for a big time. Let's drift over and look him up and down." He slouched up heavily and started across the room. But David had risen, embarrassed to the point of flight by the concentrated attention and comments of the room full of people. Before "Big Ott" and young Barry Dwane reached him he disappeared through the great swinging doors leading into the lobby. Herbs Wilks, sobered by very excess of sensual intoxication, followed him. "Come on, Herb, let's get out of this," The fringes of outgoing and incoming patrons were beginning to close around them even in the lobby as the news of what David had done inside, seeped among them. Flushed and embarrassed, David elbowed his way toward the outer door. Outside Again Outside he stopped uncertain which direction to take. The excursion train would not leave for Etingford till late the next morning. The whole night was before him and the night was young. He looked up. Big Ott stood leering at him out of his little piggy eyes. The fumes of cheap corn whiskey fouled with the odors from a rotted alcoholic stomach, nauseated David. He turned his face sidewise to the man and started to walk away. "Hey, ho what's the hurry? Becomes Mayor's Bodyguard He came to Denver as a young man and rose to fame and position. To see him as he sits on a Sunday morning, with calm dignity in his pew at the Zion Baptist church of Denver, where he graces the trustees board as its chairman, a casual visitor would not associate Officer U. H. ain't gonna eat chu. Come on along, with us and have a drink? Sly, that was a wicked right you swung inside there." He pointed behind him with the thick, squat thumb of his left hand at the same time that he slid his thick right hand familiarly through the crook of David's elbow. Frowning slightly the boy let his arm fall laslly to his side and drew away. "Thanks," he mumbled in hospitably, "I'm not drinking any more tonight. Come on. Herb." But Herb was not so easily turned from one whom he felt to be a kindred spirit. He blinked smilingly up into the evil face of Big 'Ott. Barry had sauntered uneasily away in the direction of the alley entrance to the theatre at the first obvious intimation that David did not relish their company. He turned into the short paved way that led to the stage door as Herb, mellowly enthusiastic, took the big man's arm: "All right, let's go, rat boy. Your friend can come along if he wants to. I gotto get us some company first, though." "Hey, there." Big Ott hailed a taxi near the curb. "Wait for us, I got a fare, or two with me soon's I go down here." He waved his hand toward the stage entrance. Reluctantly David turned and followed a step behind Herb and his guide. Responsibility for the half drunken companion of his holiday orgies dragged at his conscience. The stage entrance was dark but for the single bulb above it. As the three turned into the alley the door opened. The Dancer Again Outlined against the inner dimness stood a woman. She was dressed in a simple threadbare but well brushed street dress. Her slim figure, graceful as a fawn, hesitated in the doorway where it was illuminated like a picture in a frame before she stepped down into the dimness. The door closed behind her. The light of the bulb above the entrance fell squarely on the weak face of young Barry Dwane. He stepped up to the woman's side. She smiled down at him, a friendly, warm sort of smile, then looked up, startled. The sinister shadow of Big Ott had blotted out the dim space of light between them. "Hello, sweetie, waitin' for me? I brung along some friends. We'll make a big night of this." His eyes violated her as he reached out his square fingered hand and grasped her firmly by the arms, dragging her towards him. David's face went ashen, then flushed with the dark blood of repulsion as the man bent his bloated face above the honey golden one of Zola's. He could see the stricken look of terror in her big, brown eyes. Nearer and nearer the little red eyes approached the big fear-filled ones that stared up as though frozen into a sheer desperate hopelessness. Then, as if she could stand no more the woman gave a swift, desperate wrench of her lithe body, striving to evade the wet, sensuous lips. A scream of helpless, repulsive terror came keenly across the short width of the alley to cut with sharp vibrations against David's ears. Another Fight Thoughtlessly olinded the boy sprang for a second time that night to the defense of the mysterious cabaret dancer. This time the battle was terrific, Big Ott was no mean opponent. With one swing of his powerful fist he sent David sprawling in the refuse of papers and boxes lying scattered upon the alley pavement. But only for an instant did the boy lie there. Almost before the big man could draw a breath the younger one was up and at him. Back and forth, up and down, the battle was waged. Time after time one or the other hit the pavement with a dull thud only to be up an instant later and tearing into the other. But drink weakened muscles had no chance against work hardened ones. At last, his breath coming in thick gasps, David straightened and stood for an instant looking down at the battered hulk of the big brute at his --- We are the largest Manufacturers of WIGB, TR A NEFORMATIONS, SWITCHES, ELECTRIC and PLAIN STRAIGHT-WING CABINETS.

BAKER Baker with any of the harrowing experiences which have been his as a pioneer police officer in the midst of the section then known as the "wild and woolly west." For more than thirty-five years Officer Baker has been a member of the police force of the Rocky mountain metropolis, and has watched the city grow from a settlement populated largely by miners and cowboys to an urban community, law-abiding, elegant in many respects, sophisticated to a surprising degree, and effete. "An innate modesty so uncommon, which like a mantle over his broad shoulders so completely covers him, prevents his doing so, but he could with considerable truth say with the ancient historian who concluded his recital with, "And of these great events I was an important part." Until his attachment to the mayor's office five years ago, Mr. Baker took an active part in practically every man-hunt and criminal investigation of importance within the confines of the city and county, and was frequently consulted by state officers, due to his intimate knowledge of the geography and geography of Colorado. On occasions when the veteran officer can be induced to tell of his experiences, no Jesse James nor Wild West story of boyhood days can match his for thrills per minute. Truly he has lived more stories than the average writer can invent. On numerous occasions he has been fired at point-blank in gun duels with desperate criminals. More than once brother officers have been shot down at his side, and he carries on his own body the scar of a wound inflicted when struck by a bullet ricocheting from the curb, fired by a fleeing killer in whose pursuit he had joined. His record in the department archives indicates an unusually high order of ability, as shown by the number of arrests to his credit for crimes the solution of which required analytical ability, mental alertness and personal courage. More than twenty years ago, Mr. Baker organized the first auto theft department in the west and served successfully as its head until called to his present position. On state occasions; as well as thru the day of official routine, Officer Baker may be seen at the right hand of Mayor Benjamin Stapleton, which constitutes his assignment by the commissioner of public safety and the police department. As an ardent and consistent churchman and a dependable worker in all civic and social enterprises, he lives quietly with his family in a beautiful home at 2437 Downing street, Denver. He is regarded as an expert mountain auto pilot as well as a crack rifle and pistol shot. His hobbies are hunting and fishing. His hands were clenched, ready for the next blow. But Big Ott had had enough. His breath whistled through his bloody lips but he did not try to rise. Turning, his battered face eager with expectancy, David was just in time to see the woman for whom he had just fought a man, climbing into the cab drawn up at the curb and—following her was the furtive dissi- For WOMEN Only Why worry about delay periods from unnatural causes Get QUICK Results using FEMINESE—Liquid-Tablet.

As he gazed in half-dazed wonder he saw her reach over and pull the youth's head down against, her breast and hold it there tenderly, as one holds only those they love. David's eyes were bitter as he spurned the big hulk of the man at his feet. Anson Again Gathering the ragged sleeve of his coat, torn in the fray, together with one hand, he turned to confront the triumphantly cynical gaze of Anson Bledsoe. "Well, little tin' hero, so you've saved her again, I see. Sorry, I wasn't a bit sooner. I might have been the lucky guy instead of that little shrimp. He caught her on the fly.

Ex-President Legitime Of Haiti, Ousted In 1889, Lives On In Peace. By John F. Matheus 1930 presence portrays those qualities which his countrymen admire, but have too little practiced. His mind is a storehouse of keen observation and interesting reminiscence, which he relates either in charming English or more charming French. He lives with Madame Legitime in Port-au-Prince on a palm-shaded street in a quaint tropical home, surrounded by beauty and a brilliant family. His eyes were inflamed. "I felt it was my duty," Old Deacon Brown's sharp hooked nose quivered like the black laak of a buzzard probing in the foul carcass on which it feeds. WHAT THEY MEAN TO YOUR PRESENT AND FUTURE By ALI YOUSSIF MOHAMMED The Distinguished Egyptian Seer "Brother Anson went into that brothel of sin to try to persuade him to come out, but Dave here, up and knocks him down. Brother Anson says it was awful. There in company with that child o' hell, Herb Wilks, he found David and pled with him to come out of that house of sin. But David was under the spell of the strange woman. He struck Brother Bledsoe a mighty blow and turned to the arms of that shameless Jezebel, that brazen daughter of Satan, Zola. Brother Anson said he covered his eyes in grief and shame an' left him there. But his heart was heavy. "He tried to save Dave's soul from the burnin'. We all knows it hain't your fault, Brother Conway. "We knows you and Sister Nancy has tried to raise your children right, so I thought you ought to know about this." He paused and it seemed that an almost evil glee danced in his keen little black eyes. Old Jason Conway's stern black The uncompromising lines, graven face was hard and flintlike. The uncompromising lines, graven face was hard and flintlike. by a long life of rigid, unfaltering honesty, but also of narrow bigotry that he firmly believed to be Christianity, were deeply etched by anger. He turned to his son, David. The boy half opened his lips as if to speak. His soft brown eyes, so like his mother's seemed almost to plead for understanding. But as they met the pitiless cold hardness of his father's gaze they grew sullen. His chin tightened and hardened. He gave back look for look. Nancy Conway from her place by the kitchen table looked fearfully from her son to her husband. Her soft brown eyes filmed with tears, the still, acquiescent tears of old age. She half lifted her "marled brown hand in a pleading gesture for peace between them then let it fall, helplessly. Old Deacon Brown's sharp black eyes danced from one face to the other eagerly expectant. "Did you go to that cabaret, David?" the question was incisive. December 29, 1928 F. D. Legitime, the only living expresident of the Republic of Haiti, is today in many respects one of her most distinguished citizens. All Haiti reveres him. His career is distinguished among many by an unselfish devotion to the development of his country. In order to understand this characteristic one must go back forty years. The aged Solomon had just completed an eventful administration of seven years, and, yielding to an unwise pressure, had allowed himself to be re-elected. A revolution deposed him. Out of a rather chaotic condition of affairs Legitima was elected to the office of chief executive on December 16, 1888. Unfortunately a dissatisfied group split the government. A rival, revolutionary government refused to accept the election and was set up in the north under the leadership of General Hyppolite. This event gave rise to the affair of the "Haitian Republic". of the Haitian Republic. An American steamship, bearing that name, was seized by the Lezitime government on the grounds that the boat had transported armed revolutionists to Cape Haitien. Two warships were sent from the United States to Port-au-Prince. The seized vessel was released. Civil war continued. Had Legitime chosen to let loose an orgy of bloodshed he might have had himself retained in power. He chose to sacrifice himself and retired into temporary exile in Jamaica on August 22, 1889.

My mother has been dead for a year or so. How is it that when I see her in my dreams she is always ill or crippled? Only last night I dreamed of her and she was seemingly dead but revived as soon as prayer was rendered to God for her. Please answer at once.—Miss M. S., Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 6, 1928. ANSWER My Dear Miss M. S.: You have either been tempted or are going to be tempted in the near future to do something of which your mother would disapprove. Your dream is a warning to fight hard against this temptation and continue to live as your mother would want you to. You are at the age when a wrong decision may change your entire after life. Use discretion. Take no important step without careful consideration. And don't be afraid of being called old fashioned when you persist in adhering to the old steadfast virtues.

First come, first served, with that baby, you know, little hero." He laughed vindicatively, stepped out into the street and whistled for a taxi. "Well, now whersh we go from here?" Herb Wilks rose from his seat on an overturned dry goods box, where he had sat watching the fight with the ludicrously blaze disinterestedness of one to whom such brawls were of every day occurrence. "Honor!" David shot the word at "Honel!" David shot the word at him viciously. Turning on his heels he walked rapidly away. The bright lights beyond the alley entrance gleamed strangely white on the boy's stricken angry face. LOVE RING 1.5.4E With Sacred Heart, Links and Anchor. Wonderful ring made of 14 K. gold shell.

The Victory Co., 33 Warren St., Dept. 77, New York, N. Y. The voice that uttered it hard and emotionless with hard held anger. "Yes!" the sin word was a defiant challenge. Banished From Home "Very well, now get your duds and get out! And I never want to see your face around my house again. If I do——" the unfinished sentence held a menace of cold finality. The tall, rugged faced old black man descendant of implacable Ethiopian kings, turned without a backward look and with a gture toward the thin, cruel lipped deacon, strode out of the room into the wide yard at the side of the bi gray house. Looking back with a satisfied leer in his beady black eyes the old deacon followed him. Nancy Conway crossed the room to her son. Her trembling lip; were pressed tightly together. She was silent. Only the great tears welling up now, and overflowing onto the wrinkled old gold of her cheeks told of the tremendous emotional upheaval going on within. She reached tremulous old arms up and encircling David's neck drew his head down to her bosom. For a long silent moment, she held him closely so and then let him go. only to clasp him again tighter to her bosom. At last, very gently, David loo- ened his mother's arms from his neck. "I'll be all right mother," he said. "It's that"—he choked back the expe- lative that started in his heart and swallowed hard, the oath, was no word to be uttered in his mother's presence—"that—hypocritical Anson Bledsoe's lies that have done this." Kissing her gently, he went out and up to the wide windowed room where boyhood treasures still made a shrine of happy childhood. David walked slowly toward the little wooden railway station of Et- inford. Ritzed By Friends A bevy of young girls approached along the narrow brick pavement. David exchanged his heavy old-fashioned gray traveling bag from his right to his left hand and raised his hat, smiling in the old familiar friendly way. Every girl in that crowd that had known him from kindergarten days dropped her eyes and passed him without a word. A low laugh from behind the trellis of the porch of a house just inside the low hedge bordering the sidewalk brought the swift blood to his cheeks. Anson Bledsoe stepped out, hat in hand, bowing elegantly to a pretty girl whose lips curled scornfully as her eyes passed over and through David. The boy cursed low, deep down in his chest. Just beyond the turn of the street the railroad tracks crossed through the little town. Beyond the tracks were a tumble down row of dirty, sordid little one room houses. A two story dump made an exclamation point at the end of the block farthest away. Loitering on the corner between the nearest small hut and the taller house was a pretty olive skinned young girl dressed in vivid red. As David passed she smiled in friendly fashion, without suggestion.avid smiled in return, casually. "Hello, Angie," he said in response to her pleasantly called "hello, Dave." He passed on, warmed by the greeting. "One outcast to another," he murmured softly under his breath. As he entered the station he looked back. Anson Bledsoe turned the corner. He glanced furtively about before walking hurriedly toward Angie. Just before he reached her he made a half gesture with his gloved hand and nodded slightly. When he had passed the girl in the vivid red dress turned and followed him. Casually he sauntered toward the side entrance of the tall house. Then, with a quick look up and down the street, he disappeared inside. Leisurely Angle followed him, an eager, pleased light in her eyes. David Conway smiled bitterly. His eyes were cynical as he boarded the fast express for the city and "Hell," he whispered hoarsely. (To be continued) (What happens now! Read the second chapter of this thrilling serial story, appearing exclusively in the Illustrated Feature Section.-The Editor.) A BABY FOR YOU Are you denied the blessing of motherhood—the glory of a baby all your own? Do you and your husband yearn for a baby's arms and a baby's smile? Nature does not intend that any woman should be childless. When she is, it is usually due to some weakness or disorder of the organs of reproduction. When these organs are properly toned up, invigorated and helped to function properly, the blessings of motherhood may be realized. Many women are now praising a remarkable new treatment called Gen-Tone and expressing their gratitude for what it has done for them. Intended as an aid in revitalizing the organs of reproduction, many report also that it helped to relieve many of the ailments common to women, such as bearing-down and periodical pains, etc., and aids them to lead happier and more companionable lives. To test this new treatment, simply send name to Hamilton Products Co., 820 American Bank Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and when your treatment arrives pay postman $2.00, plus few cents postage. This reliable company agrees to refund the $2.00 if you are not satisfied. You should not heatate it in accepting their generous offer. Interrupted The baby had been edging along the floor trying to reach the red ball. Finally he clasped it in his chubby hands and was attempting to stuff it into his mouth when Mother decided it was time for his ride. She thoughtlessly took the ball from him. He stiffened with anger, crying long and lustily. Mother had interrupted his investigation. He was learning about the owl. Bables differ, some will spend quite a time handling moulting and looking at an object. This attention should not be diverted. It is the beginning of the child's ability to concentrate. Jack had all the blocks out, the tempins and dominoes, too. He was absorbed in building a wonderful castle, just putting the tower on when Big Brother, coming in from school, thought it smart to kick out the blocks under one corner. It all came down with a crash. Of course Jack flew into a rage. He had missed the thrill of the finished structure. "The spirit of the boy was inarred." Margie had come with her parents to call. Five-year-old Dorothy must have a tea-party. They spread the little table and set out the dishes. Dorothy with sparkling eyes kept tip-toeing to her mother for whispered conferences about getting the sandwiches, cake and milk. It took a long time. Just when everything was ready the callers had to go — there was another disappointment. The sparkle went out of Dorothy's brown eyes, and, after Margie left, she cried as if her heart would break. The grown people could have prevented this disappointment had they seen to it that the little girls planned only such a tea-party as could be carried through. It was Tom's turn at the bat. His mother appeared at the back door. Columbia "Magic Notes" "Mysterious Coon" Just came to town—dressed like a million bucks.

Run to the store for them. Don't walt!" The thrill of the game was lost. It would not be his turn again before the boys had to go home. That was the way with Mother, always interrupting him at the critical moment. She never took the trouble to see what he was doing. Yesterday she had called him away from the last chapter of "Treasure Island". He missed the climax for when he read it later on, he had lost the setting and thus the keen interest he had in the story. Of course our children have to be helpful and conform to the household rules — eating, sleeping and dressing at proper times — but still, by looking ahead, we could often wait a few minutes until "Tom" has made his home run or finished his book.

I-A. SAVANNAH. GEORGIA (Est. 1901—25 years of satisfaction) The report of this find, states that skeletons of an extinct type of buffalo, were found together with stone arrow heads of unique type, in soil indicating their presence there since the end of the glacial age when ice covered most of the Continent. The workmanship of the arrow heads, according to Barnum Brown, of the Museum of Natural History, indicated a highly developed culture among this vanished race. Mr. Brown said that particular credit for the discovery should go to George McJunkin, Negro ranch foreman of the XYZ Ranch outside Folsom, whom he characterized as "a very exceptional person." Riding the range in the 90's, McJunkin discovered a large deposit of bones exposed near a stream, speculated about their age and entombment, and talked so much about them that after several years somebody notified the Denver Museum. Nothing was done until 1925 when the Denver Museum started excavation near the stream. The American Museum joined the work this year."

MAGIC ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION The Rudest Boy In Town Bailey "Well, a few minutes ago when Mrs. White you stopped the car and made David that David get out and walk two miles back to town, the punishment was deserved Mrs. Shirley but from the way you gave it he will illus Knight. always think it was because he hurt you, physically, when so rudely illu nued. "But illustrated in detail what Bill had done Little Jack to him." "All true enough, dear, but you were angry and he knew it and thinks it was because he hurt you. A he trudges back he may even find it in his heart to be glad he did because you hurt him." "Well, what else could I have done?" "Controlled yourself absolutely first. Self-discipline must come first if we would control others. The great trouble with David is he has never been punished except by an angry parent. He draws this conclusion; When angry strike and hurt some one. So he does it." "I didn't have time to think when he acted as he did a while ago, but I might have been calmer in appearance." "It will take more than appearance. It must be real, true calmness to be effective. Children see through pretense at once. David's offenses are so outright, usually, that you could soon show him that he needs discipline for his own sake, and that you are not giving it just because you are angry." With the assistance of this frank friend of the family, David soon became thorough, manageable.

Whits and Lenora Bailey "Would you believe it, Mrs. White had the nerve to tell me that David is the rudest boy in town," said Mrs. Elliot, who was taking Mrs. Shirley out driving in her new Willys Knight. After a few minutes' silence due to traffic demands she continued. "But I'm not sure her beloved Little Jack is any better." She had forgotten how frank Mrs. Shirley was until she heard her saving: "I do not agree with you in regard to Jack. Mrs. White's children are deservedly called the most courteous in town." "Oh, dear, I know David is bad, but I don't thank any one for telling me so. We try to make him mind. I know we punish him enough." "That is true, Mac, but at the same time you frequently say in David's presence that you cannot control him. You call him incorrigible, yet when David can't get along with the other children at school you listen to his story and uphold him while you censure the others. Then when he played in the little band, he really was the cause of the disbanding because the other little boys would not come to practice and be roughly and rudely treated by David. You listened to David and felt sorry that all the other boys dropped out without good cause when Mr. Wood did so much for them." "Mercy me! is that all true, Lois? I know I have always tried to see as his faults are so big and glaring I couldn't fail to see it many of much good as possible. David, for them. What shall I with him? I'm sure I am trying." "You are indeed, arrr! punishing is trying you try hard for you certainly do punish him very severely — but I fear I cannot say it is always judiciously." "I do not understand what you mean." Cupid's Corner Dear Aunt Phyllis. There is so much said about girls who pet. However, we girls who do not pet are not very popular. My mother is always telling me to be lively, yet when I am, I seem to be left out of everything. JOSIE. As a popular song used to say: Josie, when you are good you are lonesome. Cheer up, however. You can be jolly without being free and easy. It may take you a little longer to attract the fellows of the crowd to you, but you will attract the most worthwhile of them in the end.
