Y.— County Judge Franklin Taylor of the Brooklyn court, has appointed Thomas L. Higgins, one of the prominent attorneys at the bar, to defend the youthful matricide. Arthur Wright at his coming trial. Wright, in a fit of melancholia and despondency over the fact that he was an illegitimate child, killed his mother in her bed one Sunday morning in November. The murder was so brutal, it is deemed the deed of a maniac. The youth not only beat his mother's head to a pulp with a flatten, but attempted to cut her head off altogether with a knife. The mother's cousin who had been sleeping in the bed with the victim fied to the street and screamed an alarm. When the police responded the youth was found calmly smoking a cigarette and admitted his guilt without hesitation. Attorney Higgins, an admitted master of his profession, has immediately put in a plea of insanity to which the judge has responded by appointing a commission to review the white attorneys and a white physician. Upon the report of this commission the case will be tried or disposed of otherwise. DR. S. A. VIRGIL DENIES ARREST pastor, Dr. A. Virgil, pastor of Silver Spring M. E. Church, denied Tuesday his reported arrest for passing a bogus check or that he was free under 550 bond. The United Press, which declared he had continued funeral rites over the grave of Joseph Thornton four hours in order to dodge Sheriff Noe, was stamped as false. Dr. Virgil, who succeeded the late Rev. Walter Dorsey at Silver Spring, declared that the funeral lasted but one half hour, and that he did not go to the cemetery ten miles away in Brighton, Md. Dr. Virgil said he had paid an auto mechanic by check for funeral, but the bank had received the check because the signature did not seem genuine. Did bootleggers get into the Church of God? Elder L. Mischaux, 1711 W. — ington street says no. Mrs. Mischaux also says no. Nor could anyone in the vicinity of Gilmor and Saratoga streets confirm the report that Ruth Parker was given her railroad fare home to Newport News, and wives of other church officials admonished. Everybody denies, but the church is said to have acted in a meeting in which members were sworn to secrecy. The Church of God is fundamentalist and bases its belief on the Bible as it is written. The women of this cult must keep the Ten Commandments, be virtuous and holy, while men must not drink intoxicating liquors, smoke, swear or do worldly things. Any member of the church going the way of the world and all flesh is expelled. NEW ORLEANS, La. — Walter L.

It happened in a Brussels Theatre, where he was appearing. There he met Nabib Bongila, a Negro artist, who was also on the bill. When Hylton learned that he was to appear on the same bill with a Negro he refused to go back. To forestall trouble, the manager invented some sort of pretex for requesting Bongila, and as a result the French Association for the Protection of the Blace Race, has decided to take up the matter with the Union of French Artists. ynched Two Lynch Two Lynched called at the home of McCalcium shortly before midnight, demanding admission to the law.

He was a member of Washington that their support of the Crisis would not be missed if it were entirely within the audience. The audience was as cold as Washington has ever produced, was visibly shocked by the trend of Dr. DuBois' marks. The crowd was broken up by the audible-dissension which his caustic and-advised remarks brought forth, and several people were taken in.

Mr. Davis' article, entitled "The Negro Deserts His People," is printed in the January issue of *Plain Talk* magazine. Hampton President Hasn't Seen Article Asked by wire if Professor Allison Davis' estimate of college president met the approval of the board, J. E. Grege told the AFRO-MERICAN he had not seen "The writer is a native of Washington, D.C., a graduate of Williams College and Harvard University, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa and new professor and head of the English department at Institution Institution Virginia. Mr. Davis in his article says: "The Negro has been a race damned in its leaders since the days when the overseer demoralized the students by giving his favor to the treacherous. "A whole people, however, can scarcely be made or broken by its own actions in spite of them. The real danger now is not from these dull, full-punched sellers-out of their own blood, but from the ideals set up by the students who has developed in the last 20 years. "It will be understood that I am not speaking of those producers, scientists, writers, composers, musicians, and the Negro's contribution to the civilization of America. Their achievements, wrought out in quiet and isolation, justify both themselves and the race, lawyers, doctors, school teachers, real estate sharpers, business men and society women whose contribution is limited to fur coats, Packards, armchair solutions of the macropod football classes and fraternity dances. "I am saving that in just half a century they have forgotten the tragedy of the Negro's contribution that the ideals they have set up for Negro youth are the most pernicious influence in our life today. "School and Fraternal Heals. "Groat school administrators our fraternal heads are the chief offenders in the South Negro college presidents, with a few notable exceptions, would be jokes, if they were not exerting so harmful influence upon our younger generation. "One class of such presidents run colleges to fill the members' own pockets. They are pertrating an intellectual crime upon eager Negro Ignoreuses "The second group are the heads of land-grant colleges. They are almost without exception, ignorant of the facts, and take their instructions from the white state officials. One of the great, tragic ironies of Negro life is the spectacle of a hopeful and determined life in the hands of these 'educators'. Fraternities "Of the fraternals there is no need to speak. They are the great shellgame of the South, as stipendous a money-making hoax as the Klan. Doctors "For our doctors, medicine is the shortest and surest route to money. Our doctors, the doctors, the doctors, get their start by prescribing dope and nostrums for the slum Negroes, taking their money with no experience. "The free clinics and wards of our hospitals are butcher shops, where the frankly cynical, young doctors nurse their contempt for the poor, and not even the assurance of financial success can lure our physicians from the large cities to the millions without hospital or medical service. "In the most progressive Southern State, North Carolina, eighty-four doctors are today delivered by midwives. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1929 Nella Larson Imrs lawyer is, 'Get all they nave.' He lives on the ignorance of the common Negro, frightening him by the law into paying out his last cent. "The largest share of his spills comes from the settlement of estates. Since Negroes, especially white Negroes, are likely to make no wilt, the fear of the Negro lawyer as an executor is proverbial throughout the South. Real Estate Operator "The Negroes are the executor, in connivance with his white employer, has succeeded in making Negroes pay the highest prices for the least desirable property, thereby living their living wage still farther down." "He is the most unabashed of all those who exploit the Negro. He Negroes credit and everything to betray him to the white sharper. He is frankly a buccaneer and, in the popular fancy, an ogre. It is added proof of the perseverance of the Negro in home in spite of his real estate agent. Upper Class "Upper-class Negroes in general, Northern Negroes in particular, close their minds to the tragedy of the common Negro in the South in the nightmare. In the North, they take pride in their unfamiliarity with the Southern Negro and his degradation. Oh no, I have never been South—the conditions of travel, and so forth, you know, says the lawyer, whose relatives in South Carolina must ride in a truncated baggage car or walk. Not to have been born in the South or lived there, is sufficient in New England to elect one to the first families. I have often wondered what a Philadelphia or Washington first family would do, because the grandmother from Alabama, with her bandanna and pipe, should appear—especially if she were black! "Our mulatto upper class suffers from the sense of racial allegiance, courtesy of all half-broods." "If the Negro needs courage, he ought to set about, from the top down, to face his battle in the South courageously, and not run away from "It is almost irrelevant to preach race pride and equal rights from immigrants on trips to southern cities. " It is irrelevant now to preach race pride and equal rights to immigrants who want to see the upper class live in the South. Otherwise, they know that the upper class, as well as the middle class, are as so because it is has more to lose. Thoroughly Safe "In the Chicago and Washington race riots, when the Negro sections were attacked and in danger of being killed, we were ditch-diggers, street-cleaners, factory and slaughter-house workers and even the bootleggers risked, and in many cases we lived to defy the Negro section. The upper-class brothers were indoors by six o'clock; playing passim and praying that the enemy hold the fort. Miners and stevedores are about the only Negroes not afraid of labor organizations. Even the Pullman trains keep their grit while playing hockey. "Not only are our upper classes ashamed of the porters' cause, but we are ashamed of their cause their own. They will have to answer to these struggling masses when once they start coming up. Remedy. "Trown in the hands of a developed and relentlessly competitive civilization, we can hope to take our proper share in American oppor-tunity and directive our Southern masses." "Negro business must not expect profit; the Negro professional classes must not refuse to put their work to the work of developing the Negro. "The white man chuckles to us use pride ourselves upon our attainment of comfort and relaxation like his, "Safely slowed." Booker T. Washington "Booker T. Washington's economic panacea made those Negroes who are above serfdom just what the white man wants them—comfortable and safe. The Negro, as a result, has developed few or no great men in the South; the masses have steals—ly lost courage and given up hope of such central necessities as the ballot and justice from the law." Danger to Young People "The greatest danger today is that our young people will be modeled after this grasping and spiritless bourgeoisie. Every year young men and women of marked ability come out of college only to be disillusioned by the stagnation of this upper class and, worse, then to fall gradually into its way of life." "This upper class of the near future ought to be stimulated to accept the challenge which the present generation has ignored." "The challenge has a more vital basis than the urge toward 'service' and humanitarian uplift: it is the urge to creative work, to engineering the development of a great people." "There ought to be some organized effort of this younger generation to refashion the aims of Negro life and to apply them to the life of the masses." WASHINGTON. D. G.-George E. C.

(A. N. P.)—They don't come back. Heman Perry is dead. The man whose success and failure started the financial world was found dead here Friday morning from heart disease, and his diligence and bravery came back was stopped in its infancy. The life of Perry reads like fiction. Born March 5, 1878, in Houston, Tenn., in a hut, with an education that barely extended through the seventh grade, he was positioned in the commercial world, time being referred to as the "Alanta millionaire" and the "Financial Wizard," only to have his foundation swept from under him by the hand of one of his "antic corporations." Started As Farmer Mr. Perry began life's work as a farmer, at the early of twelve. Two years later found him employing himself with a Houston, Texas firm. The experience gained from the contact with men who were doing things on a big scale insured him with a Houston, Texas firm. His first venture in this direction was a solicitor for insurance companies. The success which he had with his capacity let him to endeavor to establish a company, with Negro capital, Negro management, and Negro policy-lenders. Started Directors. The state insurance company with the proposed directors and stockholders in the effort to found the Standard Life Insurance Company, is legendary in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was the tellet of the awe-striking crop that listened to Mr. Perry: "a corporation capitalized at $100.67. Several are alleged to have asked him not mean $100.00, but Perry was determined to do things on a big scale. Standard Life After much hard work on the part of himself and his associates, Mr. Browne left insurance Company in June, 1959 which under his direction grew to be one of the largest companies in the world, boasting of millions of dollars worth of business. Service Company Spurred on by the success he attained in the insurance field. Perry sought to expand his activities and in 1821 formed the Service Company, a corporation with a capital of $25,000, which was to equip and operate a chain of landlords and dry cleaning plants in various cities and to promote other industries among Negroes. This was followed by the establishment of Citizens Trust Company with a endowment of $250,000 and a supply of $250,000. Crash Perry was then riding upon the crest of the wave. In 1993 financial conditions in Georgia bad loans led to a crash which resounded through America, and started the "financial Wizard" on down grade. He saw his brain child. The State Department of the hands of white capitalists, the Service company wrecked, only the Citizens Trust Company survived and the man who was the founder and moving spirit in each was on The Comeback A few years ago, Mr. Perry started on his comeback. Arain he turned to the insurance field, in which he had his first success. Mr. Missouri was a specialist. Since he once his field of adventure the once "Financial Wizard", started once more at the bottom. In the midst of his effort to climb the top, he was strenched here Friday morning and went to the bachelor and practically lived to himself. His success as a bachelor was at one as much heralded as that by his endeavors endures. He believed the belief that a death had not intervened. "Henan Perry would have come back."

Charles E. Stewart, his sermon at Trinity A. M. E. Church, Sunday morning. Announcing as his text Matt. 14:24 he said the text it is: I is not afraid "the speaker developed his sermon from the incident of Christ's appearing on the sea to the shipwrecked disciples and saving Petter. "I know of but few words of the Master which meant more to me than these, when He said be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid. Be not afraid when the devil tempts you, when troubled you, when failure seems inevitable. "He would know God must bear the sins of many, take his cross, live the desert life, forsake all and calmly keep his body in order and master comes with relief from Heaven." "Every life not tuned to harmonize with the forces and ideals of Heaven are called in the terms of righteousness and righteousness is righteousness because it is natural; evil is evil because it is unnatural and because it is essentially animal and not human. Who is governing from within and not from without, every person who is self-governed is governed of God and therefore related to the Kingdom of God." He said: "I have come to the place in life where I don't care what men think or sav, or how heavily they try to lav upon me weights or burdens. I will stick to my ears and keep battling with waves until Jesus comes over the sea."

E.'s HERE SILENT For Death Theory M. E. paslers of Philadelphia censured severely Editor Edward W. Herald for printing an article in his last issue I. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, of New York, a resolution passed by the minister. "Upon the article named, we have no special criticism, but upon Dr. Fosdick's admission to the paper under any caption we have definite criticism." The resolutive, boycotting Fosdick went on to point out that he had in the past qualified as legendary several gospel miracles, including the St. Matt. 27; 27; the walking on the water (St. Matt. 14; 25-29); (St. Mark. 6; 48-50. St. John 6; 19 21) and the withering of the fig-tree (St. Matt. 21; 19.) I urged also that Dr. Fosdick does not believe in the resurrection of Christ. Dr. Fosdick is often referred to as Rockefeller's pastor because he was head of the Park Avenue Baptist congregation on the island of the lowestliest congregations in America. Besides, he is nationally known because of his regular Sunday afternoon sermons over the radio broadcast by a national chain of radio stations.

[Name] Womanly Weakness "I was suffering with womanly weakness—in a run-down condition, much under weight," says Mrs. Augusta Waters, 915 Mortimer St., Birmingham, Ala. "I was tired all the time. I would get very nervous, did not rest well at night, and did not feel like eating. "I had heard so much of Cardui, I sent for a bottle and took it regularly. I felt stronger and, better, I felt tired. I wondered if I took it. I took 6 bottles at that time, and there was such a big change in my condition. I felt so much better, and did not have weakness, and am not well."医者 CARDUI A Beneficial Tonic 9 LYNCHINGS SET LOW RECORD FOR 40 YEARS N. A. A. C. P. Figures Gives Georgia Clean Bill For 1928 MISSISSIPPI LEADS WITH 3 MOB MURDERS Mexican Accused Of Assault NEW YORK.—A low record for the 40-year period over which lynching statistics have been kept in the United States, has been set in 1928 in which there have been only 9 lynchings to date, according to announcement made today by the N. A. A. C. P. The lynching records for the past ten years which show a sharp drop in 1923 after the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in 1922 by the House of Representatives are a follows: 1918-67 1923-28 1919-62 1923-18 1920-65 1925-18 1921-64 1926-34 1922-63 1918—67 1919—83 1920—65 1921—64 1922—61 Mississippi Leads Mississippi leads this year's list of lynching states, with three mob murders, Louisiana and Texas follow with two each, and Missouri and New Mexico each have one. It is a striking fact that Georgia, often in years past one of the states, has largest number of lynchings this year comes with a clean record. One of the victims of the lynchers was a Mexican, the others were all Negroes. Two of the victims were brothers of the murderer of 2 white man three were accused of murder, two of assault, one for allecution on a white woman, and one the Mexican of an attack on a white woman. James Weldon Johnson. Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People following comment on three figures: Inter-Racial Work "When it is recalled 'hat in 1869, the year from which dates the Association's record, there were 175 inrehings, the low record of 9 this year is enormously, encouragely shows that the Commission is country in the South, with the exception of Mississippi, distinct progress in being made. I think it fair to say that the Commission on Interracial. Cooperative efforts are in seeing to it that the state of Georgia comes thru the year with a clean record. B. & B. MOTON TUSKEGEE, Ala. — I find there were 9 persons lynched in 1928. This is 7 less than the number 16 for 1927, 21 less than the number 30 for 1926, 8 less than the number 17 for 1925, 7 less than the number 17 for 1924. Six of the person: lynched were taken from the hands of the law, one from jail and 5 from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 24 instances in which others were sentenced lynchings. Three of these were in Northern states and 21 in Southern states. In 23 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards segmented or other precautions taken. In 1 other instance, armed guards would be lynchers. Fourteen white men 1 white woman and 9 Negro men were thus saved from death at the hands of mobs. HAWKINS HOTEL J. H. Gaines, Dr. and Mrs. C. H.

Better Health Better Health By W. LEROY ELLIS The primaries to life and health are fresh air, pure water, proper food and sunshine Wise Nature has so provided the scheme of things that the essentials of life and health, first and secondly, are absolutely free. For the sake of clarity, a dividing line can be struck and one side, life, and on the other, health. There can be no health without life. But there can be life without health, and a life must be essential for life is air, which is absolutely free, and next in importance is water, and that is practically free. The prime essential for health, in addition to air and water, and of course, proper food and sunshine, is important in the order named. Life can be maintained quite a long time without sunshine and life can also be maintained quite a few weeks without food, and water, but only a few moments without air. You can readily see the great wisdom of Nature in providing the most vital need of life, absolutely free. But a need is needed for health, and health would be a marvelous revelation and a pleasing shock to the man on the street to know what wonders can be and has been performed for restoration and maintenance of health, by intimation and control of air, water, proper food and sunshine. But this requires a high degree of skill and experience, but true, nevertheless. And since it is so undeniably true that the human being is a wasteful, wasting and long-standing disease such as Tuberculosis, it is equally true in the treatment of other diseases of like severity or less. The logic here is simply that acceptance is just a matter of good common sense. It would be called a rather off-color argument to hold forth at this late day that we were not the ones who matter not whether we affirm or deny it, miracles are being performed to-day just as much as in the days of you were. "We were" spiritual miracles that made the old kings and rulers pop-eyes in amazement. But now we know more about natives and rulers ever saw or heard of. By long study and research, we are able to recognize the minutest item of a latent miracle, that the uninformed would dismiss as being to trivialize for ages. The learned old Dr. Dewey has demonstrated and oldd. Dr. Dewey has moved about the truly miraculous possibilities of all the sciences, of maintenance of good health than a dozen ordinary physicians will ever hear about in a life-time. Dr. Dewey acquired his remarkable ability by being wise enough to know, is wise enough to all know, is to know, upon his graduation from medical school. For the man who will approach the subject with an open mind he will willing to unde himself from old, time-worn standards. there's a vast field of knowledge about better health that will amply reward the earnest with strength and are stricken with disease and are dying untimely death, whereas with proper knowledge, in time, years of healthy living could be added to their es.

Be careful of close contact with others and beware of all coughers and sneezers; breathe through the nose. Get lots of rest. Eat plenty of citrous fruits. Keep the bowels open. Take every precaution to keep in good physical condition, so your system will have high resistance against germs. Above all, avoid catching cold. Any cold may be the forerunner of flu. Take Bayer Aspirin at the first sign of a cold and you can ward it off. Gargle with Bayer Aspirin at first sign of sore throat as this will remove the infection. If you have any reason to suspect even a touch of flu, call your doctor.

SHOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER Too many of our young people are looking for something easy. They are looking for a soft thing, where they will not have to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty with the grime The worst of it is, they do not get it and the nearest thing to a soft job never pays very much money. A job where one has too much time on his hands is never good for a young person who wants to make his way in the world. Tackle something hard, and you are likely to master something still hard, thus enabling you to rise above yourself. A fellow never amounts to much who is looking for a soft job. S. N. M. M. Y. Bon Voyage Good will and best wishes, for success follow our Bishop Monroe H. Davis, who sailed Friday to take up his work in West Africa. It seems the intent of the A. M. E. Church to keep a Baltimorean in the Liberian Episcopal Residence, for Bishop Davis follows Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, another Baltimorean, but recently transferred to work in Texas. The Lynching Records After the N. A. A. C. P. and Tuskegee Department of Research had for the first time in many years, agreed upon a plan to build a lighthouse leading the Union with three lighthouses, added two more to make a grand total of eleven for the year. Congress off on Christmas vacation, President Coke said, the president-elect Howe a salining home from a South American good will lash—Mississippi a lynching. In The Cabinet The daily press of the South is alarmed lest President-elect Hoover name a southern white in his cabin. They point out that this was done by Hayes-Taft and Roosevelt, but it brom them notices. Plans to move to New Orleans and appoint a white man in his place is called by the Raleigh, (N. C.) News and Observer an insult and an effort to buy the South. It adds: "Southern white men are Democrats from principle, and neither by offer of office nor ungrateful ingratitude to the Negro will Southern Democrats sell their votes and make the South Republican. The Jackson (now Daily News) more frank with the South prefers an inactive republican party in the hands of a few Negroes to an active republican party in the hands of lily-whiles, contesting for votes in local as well as national elections. Mr. Hoover has broken the Solid South. It's not likely he'll let die-hard democrats deter him in his efforts to build a strong Republican party in every southern state. Southern in the cabin will make this easier, we have no reason for doubting he'll make the appointment despite precedent and the press. The Legislature Meets If the Maryland Legislature, convening this week, will repeal the Jim Crow law and equalize the salaries of rural school teachers, we will willing to give it a vote of thanks and congratulations as a reward. Fifteen years ago, we elected people looked forward to the meeting of the Legislature with actual dread. The AFRO-AMERICAN of January 10, 1914 "wondered" what new anti-Kegel legislation the lawmakers had up their sleeves. Those days have passed. Never before in the history of Maryland has there been a greater disposition on the part of the state administration and the law-makers to deal more fairly by citizens, to make greater progress possible for all, to give more adequate education to all, to increase the increased appropriations for Morgan College, Bowie Normal and Provident Hospital. Still larger grants are needed and are being asked for. Additional facilities are being urged for Henryton Tuberculosis Sanitarium, and Crownville Hospital for the Insane. A school for feeble minded children is needed and has the support of the State Interracial Commission. Maryland can afford to go into debt, if neces- tary for these improvements, many of which members of the Legislature and Governor Ritchie regard with favor. The AFRO-AMERICAN looks forward to the meeting of the state assembly with hope that it will be able to measure up to the high expectation of all. President Coolidge, in his last address to Congress, said: "Our outlying possessions, with the exception of the Panama Canal Zone, are not a help to us but a hindrance. We hold them not as a profit but as a duty." Mr. Hoover, speaking down in Buenos Aires last week said: "I have persisted for a long time that among nations, as in families, there are younger and older brothers. One deduces from this idea that the function of acting as tutor, at least in spiritual matters and many times in matters of policing, is exercised by the older brothers with the supposed younger brothers. "I hardly disapprove such sentimental or political doctrines or views. There are no young, independent sovereign nations, there are older and younger brothers of the American continent. All are of the same age from a political and spiritual viewpoint, and the only difference between them is the different historic moment in their economic prowess. "I see in each nation of the continent a friendly nation and each of the same age, friendly and equal states of a great continent in which great nations progress along an even line as a group of friends as friendly, or more so, than brothers with similar ideals, which lead in new directions to new purposes all close together and all at equal levels. "The fear of some persons concerning supposed intervention ideas of the United States and Does this mean that the United States will withdraw its marines from Haiti" and "Nicaragua (virtually our outlying possessions which we are not in control of) (and record them as friendly and equal states)." Amalgamation Dr. Kelly Miller, in another column this week says that amalgamation cannot solve the problem. As always he bolsters his case with facts that are simple, evident and unassailable. Dr. Miller's thesis is that little race mixing is going on, that there is positive disaffection of intermarriage between races in intermarriage in 19 states. The U. S. Census shows a fallout off in number of mulattoes. In the face of such legal and moral opposition, it seems foolish to contend further that amalgamation can solve the race problem, yet the AFRO does so contend for two reasons. First that no two races ever live side by side for long in one nation because the second race article nowhere takes account of the American Negro's "will to be white," and escape race prejudice. The millionaires among us are the makers of beauty preparations, hair straighteners and skin whiteners. The science which has made curly hair straight, and black skins lighter, will, if dollars and energy hold out, eventually make white out of the hair. The Madame Walker Co. and Poro College turn out a "fool proof" bleaching cream tomorrow, where will the race problem and the American Negro be in the next 100 years? The only difference between the races now is color. Eliminate that and what have you? Make your own answer. Amalgamation will solve the race problem in the our prediction, and race prejudice will be to blame. Take color prejudice out of America and black men would be content to remain black forever. Putting a premium on whiteness, makes everybody want to be white. Brazil, South America, affords an illustration of what happens in a country where whites, blacks and reds live without color prejudice. Brazilian census figures show the following: 1872 1,959,452 3,787,288 3,801,752 388,955 1890 2,907,428 6,302,188 4,638,495 1,295,796 No other census figures by race for Brazil are available from local sources, including the zilian consulate which reports to us the present population is republic is 29,000 natives and one million foreigners. Evidently Brazil has ceased numbering citizens by color and only asks now whether they be native or foreign born. These figures show there was no grand rush of Indians and Negroes to intermary with whites, and that despite the absence of a color line both Indians and Negroes in large measure intermary with whites. Experts figure it out that for centuries yet, Northern Brazil will be the home of mixed blooms and Southern Brazil of the whites. Afro Readers Say: I know what it means to be tired of life. For the spirit to wake a-groaning; For the sun to set on a day of strife. The morning to break a-managing.

Physician Deplores Insaniliary Conditions at Howard University Dormitories. To the Editor: If there is a place that might be rightfully called the incubator of colds and influenza, it is贿赂. If there is a place that may nourish a freshman, was obliged to leave school on account of cold which without proper medical care would have developed into something worse. For a long while he has asked me not to allow him to room in the university dormitory. Iferred that he should not. I objected and granted his request as a device to lead a faster life, having less attention to his studies. Fortunately I visited him last Thanksgiving and had occasion to observe the state of things there. As school closed for the year I went and took him away for the Christmas vacation. Could you imagine, Mr. Editor, that the poor boy had enough cough in the air every hour? Could you imagine that the boy's chest and larynx were incubators of germs of influenza, pneumonia and tuberculosis? This is the reason. The hall where they are standing, three in a room, is an old decrept, antique building of fifty-eight years' standing. The floors are of pasteboard and are NEVER OILED. This in particular is unhealthy since the rooms are always dry. There is no care wander blindly and innocently into ill health. Then there's the toilet, the worst I have seen so far; only one for each floor of about sixty boys! The same building is so nasty that I doubt if any one is detailed to care for it. These conditions are very insanitary and are not conducive to good health in these days when influenza and tuberculosis are playing havoc on the cream of the day. I hope President Mordecal Johnson will look into this and see that the floors especially are frequently oiled (might I suggest at least once a week), or something must be done to counteract the invitation of colds, etc. else it is my honest opinion that parents or guardians who so. s. the dormitories of Harvard University their present insanity state are gambling with death.

AFTER THE BATTLE After the battle and the worn out army had been for sleep feeling satisfied with its effort to demolish the defense. I reached for the copy book, and leisurely examining it, was struck by the marks therein by demolition were a cross between Egyptian graphics and the Chinese ruler. A number of the leaves had only a few of these strange markings, others were pretty well filled, and the point of interest was that every page of this fifty page book was unrolled and visible (to me). The child has started in front and found delight in turning over a new leaf, and the result was I had to fork over another nickel to replace the smear on the cover. OVER NO doubt many of us have torn out or turned over the old leaf of 1928, and "take our pens in hand" as we moist our thumbs and turn to that new leaf, full of anxiety, and hope and determi- Things of the past in most of our lives are unpleasant and no wonder one is so eager to fold up and forget what was written in the past year and await with eagerness the arrival of the moment when new leaf can be turned to CLEAN SHEET.

To the Editor: The reason Christianity has not made more rapid advances is because the people are asked to believe too many things. One half the things a man is expected to believe are more to do with his salvation than heaven is more to do with his salvation to the question: "How many volcanoes are there in the moon?" We can believe ten thousand things, but none of them have anything to do with our salvation except these two: That I am a sinner and that Musicians tell us that the octave consists only of five tones and two semi-tones, and all Handels and Wagaers, etc., of all ages must do their work within those five tones and two semi- So I have to tell you that all the theology that will be of practical use in our world is made out of the facts of human sinfulness and Divine atroction. LEWIS TAYLOR. Belair, Md. Perry Howard Ought Be Restored To His Place in Justice of Justice. To the Editor: Never in our life have we heard of anything more honorable to a southern state than is the acquittal of Perry Howard. He was acquitted in a southern court that was about all white, as are all courts in Mississippi, said NO. when the false northern friends of a prominent black man ried their help in helping them be persecuted. When white burens were perished all Democrats, or at least the court as a whole was most decided Democrat, — in other words, they were political opponents of Perry Howard. In a court where he had been helping those who were trying to kill him, — and these white southerners among whom he had lived and whose political ambitions and traditions he had fostered, were defenders against the treachery of his "friends." In fighting this case to a finish, in never giving up and never living down. Perry, who was a longtime leader of the south, and had strengthened the Negro's political position in the entire country. It was said over and over again that certain black leaders in the Negro politically, especially in the south, by this attack on Howard. This is not the first time that a shot has proved to be a boomerang. Ye meant it for evil, but God And, now what? Perry Howard is still a member of the Republican National Committee. He had too much sense to "resign under indictment," as guilty or frightened he ought, and he ought to back pay, to his position in the Attorney General's staff. And now we pause to see if Illinois whites can give just as square a驰 to Oscar DePriest, congressman-elect from Chicago, who has against him an indictment against him.

At seven o'clock the morning, I comb and brush my hair when mother makes me leave the room and catch a little air. She tells me that no wood is cut, but what's the use of that, because when she makes an other step I go and get my hat. She takes the cabinet to get a frying pan. I take a sly peep at her and steal out if I can. I go to school a thinking that I'm a little shoe, because my hair is all slicked back and I have a few shoes.

Kelly Miller Thinks The Negro of The Coming Generation Will Be Brown Not Bleach ed. BY KELLY MILLER I notice that a number of Negro papers, following the lead of the AFRO-AMERICAN, have become interested in my release—I have been asked to preclude—Which? Amelgation spontaneously springs to mind as a possible solvent Solution by absorption could only happen in world affairs. The million whites in California would consent to absorb the hundred thousand Mongolians now within their gates, this would only lead to local and national violence, so I consent as the great reservoir of yellowness still remains in its untouched integrity in Asia, the great white and yellow races would remain as far or further apart than By parity of reasoning, if the hand-full of Africans, whether of direct or diluted blood now sojourneying in the United States, are not the same and hidden completely from sight, the race problem in America would incidentally seem to disappear with the provoking cause. But beyond the Ocean is Africa. The Pacific is the single and the radio are hastening the age of prophecy when there shall be no more sea. A solid white continent facing a solid black one would but stand out in. sharper distinctness without any mitigating intermediary. World Mindedness It is a matter of disquising observation that most of our AFRO-MERICAN social thinkers, so-called lack mindfulness, are more interested in the power of objectification. They cry only because the shoe pinches and seem to feel that personal relief is the only objective worth worrying about. In the school of thought which he typifies portray the only genuine philosophy based upon world vision. The vision of so earnest that man who did not range beyond the hitherr尔 of the Atlantic Ocean. He over and again expressed his disdain or disinterest in the mother continent by the maxim: "I have none of the banana Garvey Philosophy I regard Marcus Garvey's program as grotesque and bizarre, but not his philosophy. Where the revealing medium falls short of the revealing effect, the effort is all of us. All of us cannot solve the race problem in America—yellow or black—until it is solved for the world. But amalgamation will not, in any time which we can now force, solve the problem as it prevails in the United States. To start with, we have to deal with the Teutonic race and the Anglo-Saxon variety. We must deliberate of all the breeds of men. Brazii if let alone by Anglo-Saxon interference, might settle its racial problem. We must deal with the Anglo-Saxon America. Nor can Brazil settle its problem while we retain ours. The growing intercourse of the two nations demands social as cultural and commercial understanding. Not Much Lightening Sometime ago, I issued a release setting forth the reasons why amalgamation is not applicable to the present racial situation. It is observed that "has not amalgamation already lightened the whole race through a transfusion of white blood?" This is undoubtedly true. But it must always be borne in mind that this transfusion took place exclusively on part of both participants. As soon as society became conscious of what had taken place, condign steps were taken; forbish future prosperity; diffuse the power; pledge is perdurable, certainly in so far as we have isolated any means of overcoming it. Sex passion, in individual instances, outweighs race individual, but this does not phase its subbornness as a racial entity. Amalgamation cannot take place on a considerable scale while race precludes the conscious conscious of it. Instances, of course will occur, but not sufficiently numerous to be of social importance. No Intermarriage In Twenty-Nine States Among the Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon - contingent of the American people there is a universal sentiment against the intermittence of the rule of the white race are guided and controlled by the dominant Anglo-Saxon mind, which emphasizes and strengthens their own rule. Nine out of forty-five states have already passed anti-intermarriage laws. One or two striking instances, like the massacre of the Slavic class, Jack Johnson, and Klip Rhinehander serve to stir the remaining TWO NAILS IN HIS SHOE THE CASH CARD MARYLAND * states to follow the lead of the majority. Such proposals were defeated in several legislatures, not because the states opposed the proposition merely because it angered the infrequently used the instances did not such drastic action. Worse Than Death Amalgamation outside of wedlock is a decadent all but a dead institution. Bastardy in all lands and times, has been a common line. Wedlock is hardly doubled in its baseness. On part of the white female it constitutes a social stigma worse than death. The stigma is becoming equally approbable. The inevitable dissemination of the knowledge of birth control will speedily be erased. The fecundity on part of both white and black, and most especially biracial bastardy. What Will Happen? How then is this amalgamation to take place since it is forbidden legally and banned illegally, unless or until prejudice abates its stubbornness? The white blood now injected into the groin the female will dive into one stream of tendency. Those near the racial divide, especially the males, will feel disposed to "pass" to the sex-dispersed females, the opportunity the residue, especially the females, will breed backward on the chromatic scale. Casual observation will convince the observer that in the great majority of Negro marriages the female is more than the male. There will indeed be amalgamation within the race itself, but not of a biracial character. Incidentally, the fourteenth census showed decline of four hundred thousand mutilations. We must await the results of the fifteenth census to tell what has become of them. Not Bleached, But Browned No, the Negro will not b! bleached but browned, by the process of intra, not inter, racial amalgamation Both physically and socially, the Negro will become one with America. He becomes one with white America. The ultimate destiny of humanity may indeed be universal amalgamation.

And why all this "fuss" about fresh air? The answer is this. By fresh air is meant "pure air" which contains all the essential elements to rehabilitate the respiratory organs which have been weakened by pollutants, scientifically speaking, contains curative elements derived from the proper amounts of sun and oxygen, and doctors have learned that these elements are responsible for build- up our organic tissues.

JONES The Rising Tide Of Negro Workers With 200,000 race laborers reported by Charles S. Johnson as belonging to labor unions, the growing tendency of the American Federation of Labor to coerce all locals to include the race group and the stimulating effect of communist organizations throughout the world giving full recognition and cooperation to Negro workers, the colored laborer is coming more and more to be a factor in industrial development. This is especially significant in view of the changing attitude and relation of labor and capital and the forces which govern human relations throughout the world. One of the interesting aspects of the matter is the fact that the American Federation of Labor can no longer safely exclude the Negro and hope to keep progress with labor movements throughout the world. In the past the attitude of this great body has been dual, in that, while in its national principles it included the Negro, it allowed its locals to follow whatever policy they saw fit. The result was a freezing out of the Negro laborer wherever the local was motivated by race prejudice and selfishness, but including him wherever they needed him to win a fight. With this dual policy the Negro laborer has had to carry on a sort of double warfare. He has had to fight prejudice within the organization with a sword in one hand while at the same time he has had to fight to help with the organization win its labor struggles. But then came the Soviets and radicals which spread their propaganda through the ranks of the rise of the masses. Like the downtroader, peon of Mexico; the exploited hordes in Africa, India, China, the world, the Negro group in America, though in the midst of the most prosperous people in the world, has had success in reviving to make good propaganda subjects. Personnel And Leadership The result is a shifting change of objective as well as personnel in leadership, as well as far-reaching results, the Pillman Porters' fight has been the outstanding industrial happening of the year so far as Negro workers and women are concerned. The porters' fight has lacked something both in strategy and leadership, but it has resulted in a net gain for every Negro worker out of and in any union or group organization in this country. Because of the fact that actual warfare in any project is always more destructive than is the obtaining of the desired objective, the threat to the most practical way in the end. It must not be forgotten, however, that so far in this old world of ours, neither groups nor nations which they could not take if they had to do so. Another aspect of the labor situation is the distinct development of a conscious proletariat within a group of workers in the industrialism, the present occupation of the big business field by whites, and the dependence of whatever capitalistic class there is on the proletariat, it is evident that the leadership of the working group will become more felt as it becomes more class conscious. Already young men and women are challenging the right of the old time leadership which emanated from the church and included the political and industrial class. Polit's will more and more in the future follow "issue" lines rather than men and parties, and while labor, as an economic force, is in politics, the formation of labor groups, intelligently led, and composed of the numerical masses, is certain to be the leadership factor in the future of the Are We Becoming Happier And Happier? A young woman who has a good job teaching in the public schools, who is still young and in good health and who sports an almost new motor car like us, that this is a word of a word. "Just about time you think you will be happy, along something to take the joy out of life," she says. She may be just one dissatisfied human being; but brushing, aside the "make believe" and brands of happiness which form crowds of smiles, may meet in modern crowds of mirth, and digging deep into the actual feelings behind those smiles, ask yourself, are you growing happier and happier? The thing which is taking the place of simple happiness is the sentiment of excitement and more and more of It. Even child life, once wrapped in a heavenly fairyland of makebelieve, takes on a serious aspect earlier, and children who once noticed the sheen of the dresses spend hours in meditation and meditation others are wearing. Christians can't go to church often, because they don't have the proper wearing apparel: at a recent funeral one close friend died deceased 'missed' her funeral because she did not show up to the advantage which some others did. Business men wear out their bodies and souls' scheming and struggling to save iron and steel and gold in the mad rush to buy money making pace. Are they happy? The only "balm in Gilead" which comes out of the modern life comes of HOPE. The hope of the business man that some day he may enough and can give the peace that will be better for the little speck of life she gives to the world, hope of the blushless maiden that out of the social whirl, some das perhaps her blue bird will emerge and she can satisfy her eater instincts of mating. When she comes on through mists of fear, hope, envy, insult desire, passion, youth, pain, moments of high powered enjoyment, drunk often with the wine of wizardry, keeps us in a keen, keen, endless reality, and wonder, after all, are we growing happier and happe!

Jolson in his own imitable way portrays the piercing joys and sorrows of the humble waiter—raising him to height of authority and thrilling audiences as the unique king of jazz has always done—but never quite to the degree which his role in "The Singing Fool" makes possible. Davey Lee, the child who plays the part of the hero's son, was chosen by the star himself from among almost two hundred applicants. The scene between the father and son are tremendously moving—more so than any the present reviewer has witnessed on stage or screen. Al Seen As A Waiter "The Singing Fool" provides him with a story of universal appeal. First seen as a waiter in a New York cafe, in love with a beautiful entertainer, he later becomes owner of a pretentious night club and hunts the whiskers of his unlucky lady, who casts him into the depths of despair by deserting him and their little boy, for a stranger. For the sake of the chold, he goes on, urged and aided by the pretty cigarette girl he had known in his less successful days. Then comes a call from the police, to惊喜 that Sonny Boy is dangerously ill. The song, "Sonny Boy" is the theme feature. Intense Drama "The Singing Fool" is not a comedy—having few comedy moments—a moving story of the utmost emotional depth, in which Al, though gay and light-hearted in the beginning, is brought at length to the depths of despair. The story is from the pen of Leslie S. Barrows. C. Graham Baker of the scenario and Lloyd Bacon directed. The notable supporting cast includes Betty Bronson, Joseph Dineh Reed, Reed Howes, Ed Martin-der, Arthur Housman, David Lee and Robert Emmett, O'Connor. STAGE REVIEWS Lincoln Tillie Johnson Reyue Tillie Johnson and her fun-makers are back again at the Lincoln and from the merriment displayed by the customers their return visit is more than appreciated. Boots Hope, king of liars, is back on the road, taking the patrons a new insight, into the art of prevarication. Plenty of comedy and dancing by a small chorus of prancers, make the revue a pleasing one. Miss Johnson, of course, is adding to the success of the production by her character sketches and singing. STAR Florence Williams' Mississippi Babies." Some fast stepping and snappy comedy characterize Florence Williams' Mississippi Babies' playing at the Star Theatre over on Monument street this week. The presenter fresh from a New York doe have fast and classy hoofing, to say nothing of the "Lindy Hop" done by Harold Grant and Evelyn Upshur which brought down the house and left the customers clapping for more. You had to just hold your sides to keep you from hurting yourself laughing when the automobile joyrife the comedy was in the comedy end was handled to advantage by Buddy. Green and William Bradley who made good use of their opportunities. Elaine Cherry, leading lady clicked well in her rendition of the song "Sweet Sue," and by her dancing of the song "You Own Back Yard." Harold Archer was well received as straight man. The chorus included: Evelyn Upshur, Dorothy Preston, Inez Janez Agnes Chase, Vernese Mack and Kathleen Moss. ELKS HERE PURCHASE NEW BURIAL PLOT Secures Large Lot In Mt Auburn The Pride of Baltimore Lodge of Elks has purchased a lot in Mt. Auburn cemetery for the burial of such of its members whose people are not in circumcision for purchase. The lot purchased is one hundred and twenty by forty feet, and all accommodate forty-eight bodies. The plot is available for any departed brother on the payment of the fee for the opening of the grave. The ground itself is a present of the lodge. The arrangements for the ground was made in November, and the Lodge has recently taken title to it. First To Use Lot William Hooper, of 1032 McDonough, who was buried from Faith Baptist Church. Ashland avenue and Bond street, was the first person to be buried in the new lot. Hooper died Sunday and the Pride of Baltimore Lodge had charge of his funeral.

AFRC MOVIE ```markdown ``` Thirty-five crippled children were guests of the AFRO the Big Brothers and the Maryland League for Crippled Children at Kernan's Christ mas Party at the Garden Theater, Sunday. DROLLISH DANCING ON ROYAL'S BILL OF FARE Pair Of Smiths Help To En TRIXIE SMITH SINGS Energetic Chorus Works Hard —Station Scene Best After seeing "Gotit, Gotit," the Royal Theatre's New Year Offering, it will be seen that the title was wisely chosen, as the show at times approaches a high temperature but fails to retain it. The hotest moments in "Gotit" come about when Speed Smith family friend Billy displays his versatility as head porter and train caller in a jerk water station; when Airship and Smith heat up the boards with some torrid duo and solo hooing; when Triste Smith bursts out in an old-fashioned blonde and the animated prancers appear in a few energetic numbers; their best being the "Dusky Steward" bit. Like most of its predecessors, this show devotes a bit of its time to the now waning Charleston dancing and finds room to insert a scene in which the comedians are transported back to the African jungle. There is no good singing in the entire vehicle. Pete Peters as the straight man acts the part, but Zudora DeGaston as the leading lady, billed as the shapely physical culture queen failed to reveal any show stopping form and showed traumatism. Probably the variance advertising wronged against her and the customers expected too much. Airship and Smith Trixie Smith warbled "Love Me Like You Used To" and the clients raved for more. Trixie is the one with the red bandanna about her head. Airship and Smith, those boys afflicted with legomania, performed everything that could be desired in the way of dancing running the gamut in choreo to the eccentricity. Smith choreo to the eccentricity, across in good style, his humor being of the droll, dry variety that evokes deep-seated chuckles. George Lynch contributed his share to the heat of the attraction, and Jessie Love as the soubret demonstrated that she would rather dance than sing. The ladies of the ensemble are Mary Smith, the Price. Luhia Smith, the Scott, Becky Austin, Bee Davis, Vivian Warren, Edna Roberts and Edna Mitchell. While some of the action in "Gettin' Hot" drags there is enough going on to keep you awake every moment, which we think is no small accomplishment. Day Nursery Holds Christmas Program Many small children look on bright smiles and were apparently happy as a result of the Christmas treat held for the children at the Bristol Templeton 325 Droud Hill avenue. Thursday After many amusements, the children marched to the second floor where a real Christmas treasak was served them.

Monday and Tuesday. A fictitious parallel to the battle to death between Don Mellet, Canton, (Ohio) editor and the underworld gang in that Buckeye city, is seen in this exciting drama, taken from the story by Peter B. Kyne. From the very beginning when you see the crooked political boss fighting his boyhood chum, now the editor of the Free Press, played by Henry B. Waltham, who is conducting a fierce campaign to bring out the identity of the members of the vice ring, you know you are in for a thrilling hour or more of entertainment. One is as ruthless in his pursuit of good as the other is not. Both men give remarkably powerful characterizations meriting praise as the finest performances of the month on the local screen. The love story is moving in its pathos, but finally emerges triumphant. The Wednesday and Thursday program finds "Hit of the Show" as the act of the ever mysterious workings of the stage, with intimate disclosures of the players' personal life, at home and before the footlights. The story is based on the life of an ambitious "hoofer" who, after a fifteen year struggle to reach Broadway, goes to New York production, but sacrifices his opportunity for love of a girl.

Coppin Normal School, at the Elks Hall, on Wednesday evening. Old class mates, friend, sweethearts, friends, seemingly lost their identity as they tripped fantastically to the soft music. An atmosphere rather of frivolity entranced by the soft mellow lights. In keeping with Yulelide spirit, a beautifully lighted Christmas tree, displaying brilliantly, gold and blue lights, the class club colors, that flicked on and off alternately, made quite a significant feature, illuminating the hall in delicate shades. The beautiful gowns displayed by the ladies were of every creation, and of every shade conceivable to the color. For the class members, the club colors adorned the trim ankles of the fair sex, while the male knights dispaired their chests. With most refreshing punch served during the entire evening, and the best of music rendered, together with most cordial hosts, the affair was a grand and glorious one.

No question, but some actors are out of work, some always are and receive more than customary right now, but more pertinent is how many of these are really actors? Mechanical entertainment and the decline of the legit field have contributed to the theatre condition which has temporarily, at least, down the demand in person talent on the stage. The road situation has affected the legitimate trouppers to some extent, where the increased stock has taken up the over supply, while the talking shorts may be accountable for a considerable number of vaudeville acts being idle. Another reason or so, more or less important, such as the theatre cleaning policy. Behind all of that is the influx of actors into the show business for the last five years. From the dramatic and dance schools, from cabarets from the picture gallery, to the theater, not only with the specialists but the local community theatre playing amateur plays. These actors came out of the theater and will not get out. They are not actors and never will be, for otherwise they would have worked. Talent is the key, and it is not self, there is a plot it and is seldom overlooked. But not by the thousands or the hundreds. Young people who have drifted to the stage, getting there by one minute long enough to wear grease paint, became convinced they had talent, they were and are actors, according to their innermost thoughts. Long enough that they will not go to work. They prefer to starve in the show business rather than to make a living by doing something else at which they possibly could not be done. They Show Business that grease paint has . . . terrific fascination. evidently. Once they put it on, they never want to take a break or act as an actor. These still amateur and impossible actors would return to their homes where they are known and could be employed. If it’s vanity and they know, that will not alter the fact that eating becomes necessary after awhile even in show business. The acting end of show business has been over-crowded for ten years or longer. The house stage show and the increase of cabarets and night clubs, it has been smothered by actors. So those actors who are not, can make up their minds that hanging around, looking and hoping for someone to come and play, the situation always will remain the same, while they make it so; that there are more actors than places for them to act. They are superfluous and useless. The actors that are not, go to work, without mentioning that lamentes horde of foolish persons who go to Hollywood, leave it, but still want to stick to the theatre, there will not be reports of thousands of actors and the actors who are actors will then be working all of the time. **BOY BOWT** (1 yrs.) .....

Stage And Screen Gossip NEW ACTS ADVISED AGAINST COMING TO N. Y. Vaudieu agelets, including Keith's, are advising acts to refrain from coming East for the time being. In the past, the advice states The letter states that acts playing out of Chicago, Detroit, or elsewhere are better off than the hundreds now around New-York and laying off. The advice probably will prevail while Keith's booking jams and during the elimination of vaudieu other circuits through talking shorts. About the most difficult thing to secure in New York and the East right now is a showing date. Keith's and others fill gaps in the schedule, showing houses. When a showing is landed, it's usually that date and then two or three weeks before another, and often the othe is for additional purposes, so three or four weeks in New York at a showing salary is considered a break by many acts at this time.

Contrary to first reports Ernest Whitman will not be in the cast of G. William Dumon's 3rd, "Chocolate Box Room," but he joined Whitney and Tutt's "Deepest WASHINGTON, D. C. — The counterpart of Toussaint L'Ouverture who never saw a soldier until he reached manhood but licked the best armies of Europe but never saw a soldier of the French Brooks, comedian and songwriter, who never saw a minstrel until he was seventeen but has attained the distine — both here and abroad as being the man who succeeded late Bert Williams the present generation has produced. Mr. Brooks, who w' a member of the original "Blackbirds" company, co-starring with the immortal Florence Mills in her American and European success; was born in a little Canadian town near Windsor in the early 1900s and knew rarely ever seen and an American minstrel was never heard of. Negroes themselves were by no means numerous which adds the unusual note to the comedian's development as a leading exponent of the Wes Witty When A Boy For the greater part of his adolescent life the man who made the theatre-groups of two continents laugh never saw any form of entertainment other than a magic lantern show, but he was a man of great intelligence, his small community, possessing at an early age a voice of the coarseness of a full-grown man. That voice with its heavy intonation has since been recorded on phonograph discs and heard all over by radio. Writes Songs Too. Mr. Brooks has also won laurels as a song writer. He got his early training on an old melodion, and he has been a teacher. During his career he has written such hits as "Some of These Days," "Darktown Strutters" "Ball," and "Walking the Dog." In later years he was a teacher of the Waters, Butterbeans and Susie, and all of the Smith girls for use on their records. The song-writing field, he declares, is being closed to men and women, to cut in on all songs that are published. In order for a colored song writer to get a song to the public it is necessary to give credit to publishing houses for either the words or the music or both. For this reason he has refused to publish any songs later because he will not permit whites to exploit creations. World New Show Mr. Brooks has not ceased to write because of this fact, however, and has a collection of twenty or more songs that he production with the aid of Henry Troy, an oldtimer. They have completed both the book and the musical scores and will attempt to float the show when backers can be interested. Present Mr. Brooks is producing and acting as master of ceremonies at the Howard Theatre here, where the new presentation policy is in vogue. His success has been for the largest and most consistent box office returns in recent months.

The gang and introduces Jerome; a young xylophonist, who dishes some hot music. The Regalade are on again and give one of their members a challenge.

Looking Down the White Way BY FAITH WOODSON For some time now, theatre-goers in race theatres have been clamorizing for better and more comfortable that are different and various other footlight requisites of a good show. But the white stage also, according to one of the foremost critics seems to suffer in the same to extent, although it is on the wane. Due to their hold on economic resources, the big time white producers often can purge an actress with better censure, etc., but their sameness is seen in the prevalence of dirt. Beneath the surface of white as well as colored productions are the smutty tokes, the surreal dances, and questionable songs. Blamed It On War The after war period with its spirit of freedom and self-assertiveness, called for a more frank and open offering in everything — the剧院 included. The theater has come when this sort of thing is ont generally liked. In many productions, folks who forgot the art of blushing, finally find themselves revered by the former and registering apprehension and disgust. This situation need give no cause for worry, at least because there are always those who are for the former and regardless of loss or any of the other arbitrary divisions of human beings, will flock to the book store, theatre or side-show where the unexpected is to be seen; heart is to be seen; is to be seen as well as anything that prompts them. Should Women Have Careers? What should be the attitude of a man toward his wife who has taken the number of men approached on the subject, have given the old answer that "a woman's place is home." Needless to say, this does not answer the question at all, since women are their rights more and more every day. Of course, the man who marries a woman already in the theatre field should not offer her the will; just wh- to expect. It is the fair thw- who after marriage develops this bright light fever, that we are most concerned about. The women who would have become even better known than she is at present, has had to give up a promising career because of an extremely felous husband, which plausible be made by him, which would travel together, he doggedly refused to accept. So, as a result she is dissatisfied and he, realizing the fact, is silent and deceased, divorce lawyer will profit from them before many years have passed. Throughout the ages the problem of how a man should treat his wife has been a popular one for discussion. It is a hard thing to suppress the desire for artistic expression, and men who do it often do. On the other hand, however talented a woman is, she will have to sacrifice either her art or the man, in many cases, to be accepted by the general class of men. O woman ma'r, by some miraculous means land a husband who is broadminded enough to accept the career, but like her teeth, are scarce. LESLIE TO EUROPE NEW YORK. — Lew Leslie, producer of the "Blackbrids," sails for Europe next week to communicate his "Blackbrids" in Paris. After presenting them in Paris he will take them to London.

The most outstanding in public dance circles is the "Wampso." This hop, ship or I jump affair has been almost as popular as the collegiate two step. The second dance to gain popularity was the "Metal Fox Trot." It is performed in sub-deb and younger social circles. It is a swirling dance that resembles the old Vernon Castle Fox trot, but the cross between the Castle conception and fox trot and the collegiate version. The third and most difficult is the shawd dance which is a stage dance that involves the entire hall, many persons, however, have been seen doing it. Its popularity should continue. The shawd dance is a mixture of the fox trot, waltz and the last and least is the "Grandal Waltz" which is the same as the hesitation waltz. It has taken fairly well but as is known, its popularity has declined. Old regular conservative dancers can be seen doing it at formal or social dances. According to reports there were 163 dancers. This includes 183 pay or subscription dances. (These figures include basketball games and those benefits given for Provident Hospital) and the soup utensil worn was worn at 21 affairs. A record has been established by the city's two dance enthusiasts. They are Miss Ruth Rath and Little Joe Reynolds who have attended exactly 180 dances of the 183.

DIRECTORS BY LEVI JOLLY The new year came with Baltimoreans still treading their paths of peace and tranquility in in one of the quietest New Year Celebrations ever witnessed here. In many of the churches large crowds could be found early New Year's eve preparing to welcome the guests, many blessings that had been bestowed upon them during the past twelve months. The Catholic churches held their services with several special features, the Methodist had very simple but impressive services mostly musical; some were conducted as old styled class meetings. Dance Halls Four hundred paid admission to have a gala and live-stepping time at the New Elk Auditorium where the Mid Night. Ramblers held their dance, while Clarke and Gamby entertained 86 at the New Odd Fellows. Both of these dances were midnight an afternoon. Ret and Bill Landon's meeting house were crowded to their capacity with revelers who were ushering the new year in with gallons of drinkables. New Year's day, with gay sky and drizzling rain was a good omen to many old timers who claim the comin'; year will have an early summer and good conditions in general, as far as the weather is concerned. Crowds At Movie Crowds of men, women and children purchased every available space in Baltimore's movie houses at both matinee and evening shows. Around 6000 persons saw, Clive Brooks in "The Perfect Crime," at the Royal Theatre, while Speedy Smith, the old master himself, enlisted in the movie's footlights. The Regent theatre carried big crowds all day to witness the Fox Drama "Mother Knows Best", starring Madge Bellamy. The dance halls were well attended. The Smarter Set Club held a nifty collegiate matinee 'nce at the Elks Hall for the Younger set. The Paramount Dancing Class held their holiday dance at the Odd Fellows Hall, where they light the fantastic toe of joy and contentment. At the Penn Hotel, The Big Four Fraternities held their first special collegiate dance. The Vandals entertained a large crowd at their Gala New Year Prom at Elks Hall in the evening while the audience was huge crowd at the Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows entertained with the Blue Jay Orchestra playing their famous stomp downs at both the matinee and evening shows. The Elks Hall while the other halls introduced the Melody Boys, Haughton Brothers, and Parrott Brothers. The Albert Auditorium broke forth in a glorious light when Miss Louise Reed, gave her famous liberty bell collegiate hop.

Pat To Pansy Pat To Pansy Holiday Celebrations Keep Baltimore Gay — Debutante Parties, Receptions, Hops and Bridge Luncheons Attracting Features During the Yuletide For the Old and Young—Christmas Weddings Few. WELL, PANKEY: I am taking it for granted that the fun hasn't reached you yet, so make you miserable, therefore, Christmas gift, willing and ready to digest anything that comes from your old home town. You should be eager to have such a gift in your life, so have much it to eram in this writing and so little time to do it all. How much wine and a puff of smoke and sit perfectly as ease and read right on, for Baltimore misses both the holiday and the Christmas Eve night. For instance, Eden Brown's tree trimming patty, Eden Brown's brown of the 416 Mosher street, was hostess to a "Tree Trimming Party," followed by a "Young Women's Amour" guest; Elizabeth Walker, Constance Murphy, Hilda Anderson, let me set, oh yes, and Emily Johnson, let me set, oh yes, and Whitson, William Williams of Tuckahoe, Ala. James and George Murphy, Charles Young, Elizabeth proved a charming hostess, and her guests exhibited great artistic taste and the colorful balls on the tree, to bring out just the correct effect to make it a beautiful tree worn finished. The Johnson Girls' Super Dance On Kman Nile On Christmas night, Pansy, the Johnson girls, you know in the 900 room of N. Washington College, O. Calerie Johnson daughters. Well anyhow, Elizabeth and Mary invited their house guest for the holidays. They met Vette Davidson, of Muskogee, O. who was their house guest for the holidays. They met her mother, and her mother as the Vulelette spirit prompted them to buffet served was served at a late hour and the guests, after spending a most evening, took their departure with her hostess and honored guests. Of counts, Hythe Thomas was there as a hostess, and O.

C. [Image of a man's face] Credit that helps keep your Dignity Mr. Carter thinks that the sort of credit interviews you find in many stores is ridiculous! Maybe you've been one of the victim! Dozens of prying questions — to the point where you almost lose all personal pride. No end of embarrassment, humiliating in the extreme—simply because you happen to want a little furniture on credit ☆ Mr. Carter says you can drop in on him any day. Tell him what your home needs—just how you'd like to pay—and as soon as he sees you're sincere — the deal's closed! NO References Maybe that's hard to believe, but Mr. Carter means "NO REFERENCES" when he says it! And "the goods almost follow you home," and you have not been embarrassed and annoyed and aggrassated--but you have the furniture you wanted from the best "furniture friend" you ever had. Hub Furniture Company 710—Penna. Ave.—712 Open: Late Saturday Evenings Mr. Wright and Daughter Entrant: At A Bridge Jouceau There now, dearly, glimming on my cat on Wednesday afternoon.

The family was搭档了. Most Thursday afternoon a 2:00 p. m. in honor of their debuts; daughter and nieces. After a most pleasing and beautifully served luncheon, the game was "500" and "500" came out and the girls who consisted of this year's debutants, and a few older folks of the younger set, proceeded with determination in their eyes. As the final game was scored, the high and low-weight players, the bunch of excitement, Mrs. Evans Fernandes, who was the score keeper, announced winners, who were: Elizabeth Johnson, for first prize. A lovely necklace: Hillard, and the top of the first prize, for the unique license burner, and for the third prize, which went to Elizabeth McCard, a beautiful picture frame. To the honored guests, a handsomely carved bracelet of a flower, the old man was the same name as the flower. The name throughout the evening was to use this name the table and find the flower who was to be her partner. This created quite a heart of a well-adapted form, for this original idea. Mrs. Woodhous and Mabel were assisted in serving by the sub-debs. Mary Carter and Doris Hicks were the best-served and the best-served. Emily of Ethel Wiss, Pauling Wharton, Emily Johnson, Mae Wright, Constance Murphy, Dorothy Singleton, Elizabeth McCard, Hilda Anderson, Elizabeth Johnson and Mary Brown, and Mary Brown's house's guest, it is n't a think of her name.

Elizabeth's luncheon which was at 1 p.m., displayed good taste as well as beautiful serving. Romaine Adams Jones and Ethel Jones assisted her.

Gilmor street, gave a very pretty lunch-eon and "500" Card party, for Miss Mildred Lynch, another one of this year's debutantes. If you remember, I told you, Pansy, some time ago, about the Hawkins converting their cellar into a grill room and how pretty they made it. Well, the party for Milldred was given down in the grill room, and then the Christmas greens and red candies added, made the atmosphere just that much more thrilling. Besides all the debutantes, who were dressed in lovely little afternoon frocks, and looking sweet enough to temper any young knight added much to the occasion. Although the scores were low, the game of '500 was interesting and folks showed spirit in their madness to win. Mrs. A. A. Smith, Mrs. Gertrude Lynch and Mrs. Frank Pinston assisted Mrs. Hawkins in serving the lovely lunch-con that began at 2 p.m. and in keeping the score, as the game started at 3:30. Adorable prizes were awarded the winners. The guest of honor, Mildred dear, received the guest of honor prize, a beautiful box containing Coty's perfume. Other prizes were, a necklace of crystal bead and a box of lovely handkerchiefs. Besides the buds there were, Ruth White, Bernice Cross, Catherine Naylor, Hilda Henson, Georgia McMeechen, Geraldine White, of Oklahoma, Anne Canady, Helen Matthews and Ola Bowers. Mrs. Hall Entertains Friends New Year's Eye Night. Pansy, girlie. You would have had the time of your life out to the James Halls country home on New Year's Eve night. Why honey, three automobile loads left here at mid-night for their home on the Annapolis boulevard, and had the time of their lives. About 4:30 a.m. in the morning Mr. and Mrs. Hall and their guests returned to the city and landed at Sailie Logan's, on Pressman, for breakfast, which consisted of buck-wheat cakes, country sausage, fried oysters and hot coffee. Of course, Pansy, you can imagine the fun at the Halls way out there on top of a high hill, with not a house in sight, or a human being to disturb with their laughter and fun, while sitting around log open fires and the like. It was a memorable event for those who were there.

Besides the debutantes, she dressed a number of heads for other formal affairs during the holidays. Mrs. Jackson, girlie, has a charming maner and really knows her business. She has one of the finest hair dressing establishments in the city, and she is always crowded; and talking about her reminds me of Sailie Logan's dress salon. She got away with some beautiful gowns that were a wow at the Half Century Dance. Ruth Burgess and Edythe McMeethen Ashe bought their dresses for the occasion, from her, and a number of others too. Sailie's hats go like hot cakes. Lizzies are always becoming old. Read are wearing the most most becoming hats, selectioners from her ion. Come down soon and I'll take you to both places to see for yourself. Until next week.

Weak, puny, restless and cross children never fail to pick up weight and gain strength and energy under its gentle influence. It stimulates the appetite and gives these organs tone and strength so they continue to ad normally, of their own accord. A well-known Maryland mother, St. Baltimore, says: "Marie is rose-cheeked, bright-eyed, and happy, now; he wead a lot of trouble with her. His stomach and bowels seem fine, his constipation and billiousness until she was fretful and peevish most of the time. Then we gave her some California Fig Syrup and her trouble went to it and soon she was well and strong. Be sure to ask for California Fig Syrup by the full name so you get the doctor or doctorized by physicians for 50 years.

NEVELL, Auctioneer THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1929 Around About Baltimore Maybe for the first time in history, Baltimore stores had, for sale colored baby dolls for the 'Christmas holidays. The dolls did like hot butter orange pink dolls loaded on the market. Most all of the small white children cried for them until their mothers purchased 'the same to keep them quiet. This, indeed, was what all the little white children would want a colored doll is hard to explain. Some mean man would say, "they wanted them in order that they might take them home and eat them." Just like books, possibly for the purpose of having a doll lynching." Yes "Sub", Boss Baltimore is a growing city. Almost everything we have here has gotten too small, including the pay entitlement. The Executive Office has just been completed, a new post office has been ordered, the city has built a new municipal office building and, in fact, everything is being increased, too. Accounts are flower rate, business. However, in spite of all the expansion in every direction, our Assistant City Solicitor, Arthur Briscoe, is yet doing his city work. It appears the court house is big enough to house everybody but Briscoe. "No place can be found to put his desk," it is said, but the question is, "What desk? The little bit of unimportant work assigned him, he could on one side of a dime. One thing is sure, if the office does not muster desk again, neither will briscoe. Never Too Late When the APRO-AMERICAN announced that eleven dwells would come out at this year's Hall Century Center, they would be the city. Among the unfurtured they wanted to know what are they coming out of, but with people who didn't know, most of them wanted to know "how come?" They bring up the argument that younger, there was no place where they could come out and that now it is too late for them to come out, therefore, they must go all the way through life without ever having On behalf of the Half Century Club, I take this opportunity to explain that it is never too late to come out. Five years ago a young lady went to school, eight and nobody had the nerve to talk to her about it in front of her face, but, of course, behind her back they gave her a fit. But what you don't hear don't hurt you. Furthermore, anybody is interested in learning what time at all and if the "debs" come anywhere near looking like human beings, I am satisfied the AFRO-AMERICAN will "mug" them and give all particulars. Out with the Class of 1928. That class now belongs to the University. Santa Claus Missed His Stroke The various newspaper men who have cause to go to the Albert Auditorium, where they fight for rights and other delicate physical amusements, tell me that they wrote a joint letter to Santa Claus and requested that kind old, but unhappy children be given a new press table with chairs so that they would not have to use that shelf on which they have been getting their work out while standing Since Christmas I notice that "My" Barbershop sent a scoreboard by Santa Claus to the auditorium. How the old gent could get in the building to bring the scoreboard and not lose the press table is too hard for me. Now it appears that Christmas is far spent and Santa Claus is likely to be somewhere doing a. Rp Van Winkle. It is not as easy as it sounds, through the station that gets. In touch with Santa, that he wake up long enough to pay the Albert Auditorium a visit and take that nail out of the top of the old press table, since he not strong enough to bring a new one. The Sphinx THE SPHINX: the great 'monument built on the sands of Africa, has defied all attempts to tell when it was built, by whom and how it was, and how we have for centuries defined how it was, where it is, and what does it signify. The SPHINX, however, will not respond. It divulges nothing to such an extent the saying has come about, "as silent as the SPHINX." We have with us in Baltimore a former SPHINX a long time ago, ever is a monument to a class that was graduated from the Training School as well as a social organization that occasionally breaks out with a Soiree. The SPHINX had their latest Soiree at the Eks' Hall on Wednesday, December the twenty-first, on which the SPHINX for once divulged something. What the SPHINX put out this time was like a knock out drop. He says says he, "Miss Carrolyn Harris, one of the debs to make her debut at the Half Century Club, was present at this public dance two nights before she was due to come out. Miss Harris, it appears, slipped out. What will the Board of the Half Century Club do? I know they will be terrified. Were it back in the days when Bernard Taylor was floor leader in the Baltimore Assembly and Prof. A. B. C. Calls and Dr. E. V. Stokes were the chief social advisers, this young lady would have had her invitation called in and would have been sharply reprimanded. Why Suffer? When Relief is at Your Call?
