WASHINGTON. — A committee representing the Civic Center of Affiliated Associations of the District of Columbia is sending a representative to Proctor L. Dougherty, in regard to appointments of colored men in the fire and police departments. Commissioner Dougherty stated that there is no discrimination in appointments in the two departments. The two charts, showing unequal employment among colored men in these branches of the District Government, were carefully studied. With reference to the statement in addition to the colored personnel of the fire department has been made during the past ten years, the commissioner suggested that perhaps colored men are not taking the service examinations for these positions. Mr. Dougherty was told that when two departments of the District paid over $47,000 each, only $131,900 to colored citizens; and that the proposed vagrancy law was bound to re-act against the group not given employment. Upon leaving the committee was assured that the young men, successfully passing the physical and mental examinations, will be given a firing certificate. A conference with Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, Superintendent of Police, resulted in the assurant, that colored men will receive justice in his department. Fire Chief George S. Watson told the committee that he was greatly interested in the colored men of his department, and that why colored men are identy they have either failed to avail themselves of the opportunity to take the examination or have failed to pass. He assured the committee that without discrimination those who stood highest in the examinations. a order to endeavor to discover the real cause of the small number of colored men in the two departments, which has a personnel of 2,300 men, and of our own man, a visit was made to the Civil Service Bureau. Commissioner Wales explained that all applicants were given the same consideration in questions and rating, and that the fault was not his bureau or other interesting points were dwelt upon at length. Applicants for the Police Department must be at least 68 inches in height and weigh not less than 145 pounds. Salary, $1,600 for a year, or $1,200 a year. The salary in the Fire Department is $2,100 per year. The average young man who can qualify physically should easily pass these positions are open to residents of the District of Columbia. The committee is composed of J. C. Payne, Rev. W. H. Jernigan; J. E. M. Martin; Maurice Spencer; G. E. Martin; Burroughs and the Chr. W. D. Nixon.

O. P. Leaders Have No Chance To Make Fight For Register's Post INCUMBENT'S PLACE FILLED IN 24 HOURS John R. Hawkins Could Make Formidable Fight For It Under Hoover WASHINGTON, D. C.— Colored Republican leaders were given no time to submit a recommendation of one of their number for the office of Register of the Treasury when a vacancy occurred. The next day after creating the vacancy, President Coolidge filled it, surprising those who expected to make a light to regain this office for President: Gooldie on January 15 nominated Walter O. Woods, of Kansas, who had been the Register of the Treasury since October 1981 and the United States. The Senate confirmed Mr. Woods on that day. On the next day the President nominated Edward E. Jones, of Pennsylvania, President of the Senate, the Register, the Treasury in place of Mr. Woods. The Senate confirmed Mr. Jones, last Saturday. At Pleasure of President Colored Republican leaders who plan to make a fight to regain this office as a reward for party services will have to wait to wage their best efforts. The Register serves at the pleasure of the President, which means that he can continue in office until the White House asks for his resignation. The Republican chairman of the colored voters division of the Republican national committee in the campaign, has been frequently mentioned in the financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the president of the Prudential Bank, and a member of the trustee board of Howard University. Hawkins Fornidable If Mr. Hawkins should consent to the use of his name in connection with the fight to regain this office for colored Republicians, he will be a formidable candidate. He command the support the Republican organization of the District of Columbia and the bishops of his church, some of whom are very active and prominent in politics in northern, eastern and western states. A coincidence is that one of the last colored men in the Treasury was the Rt. Rev. William T. Vernon now a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, G. Napier, of St. Joseph, and preceeded Bishop Vernon was the last. Wilson Made Gesture. The late President Woodrow. Wilson made the gesture of offering the appointment lawyer, then of Muskosee, Oklahoma, but now of Chicago, Illinois. He declined the appointment, and President Wilson, the Indian, who was succeeded by William B. Elliott, white, late in the Wilson administration. Cottrill The late President Waren. G. Harding is said to have promised the office, to the late Charles A. Cottrill, a fellow Ohioan, but he broke the precedent, but he proceeded even through the administration of William Howard Taft and named Harley Speelman, the president of the President Coolidge followed his predecessor and named Mr. Woods. WOMAN SEES SISTER BURNED TO DEATH PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Miss Julia S. Jones, 1050 Christian street, was fatally burned when her scar caught fire; as she attempted to escape the gas attack in her home Monday morning. The aged sister of Miss Jones, Miss-Sarah, was in the room at the time of the disaster, but was powerless to resist. The woman is survived by two sisters; Mrs. Evelyn Holden, Miss Sarah Jones; and two brothers, David W. and John D. Jones, four children out of a family of six sisters, at the Institute, Colored Youth. Suggests Hoover Name Race Member on Dry Commission Kelly Miller Declares Appointment Would Give Committee's Findings Greater Consideration Among The People. By KELLY MILLER During the last campaign, candidate stated that he regarded the Eighteenth Amendment as a noble experiment which should be dealt with constructively. He added but one further word to this laconic effect that a commission should be appointed to look into the matter. Definitive methods of dealing with the troublesome issue, sponsored by his outspoken opponent failed to elicit any further pronouncement on this heated issue. New that Governor Smith has lost and Mr. Hoover has won, he repeats his campaign declaration of purpose to appoint such a commission. This must be regarded as Mr. Hoover's own personal plan. It is not to be found in the Republican platform nor was there any formal discussion of the proposal during the campaign. Indeed spell binders on both sides articulate their opposition with a few dating exceptions. Mr. Hoover is commissioned by the people to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, both as a sworn constitutional obligation to enforce this specific provision vigorously. The details of the method of enforcement were left to his own devising with the advice and consent of Congress. By Commission Government by commission is not the method of enforcement. His experience does not justify any roate outcome. Such commission in the past have usually accumulated volumes of dust-dry statistical and historical information, both as the secretary of the Commission who is under* the penalty of editing them.

The couple were lodged in the Shenandoah County jail, charged with violating the State Inter-marriage Law which provides for the state, with the intention of evading the Virginia law, as as guilty as if the ceremony were performed in the Old Dominion. Marriage too place at Hagerstown, Friday morning, and the arrest followed the return of the couple to Shenandoah County a few hours later. Strange thing about the whole affair is that Morgan Copp, father of the girl in the crime, for a timeENSE som-years ago and set free when the state was unable to prove the percentage of colored blood in his veins.

J. Calloway Tells How Both Races Aided In Having Law Changed BY T. J. CALLOWAY ANNAPOLIS, MD., (Afro Bureau)—When an intelligent person proposes to make a new or seemingly difficult piece of adjustment in his own yard he finds it highly interesting to look over the fence and consult his neighbor who has already achieved the job. This is why a trip was made to Wilmington, Delaware, our eastern neighbor, to interview some of those Delawareans who two years ago led the campaign for colored teachers so successfully that the legislature of that State voted almost unanimously for a law that made it mandatory upon the State Board of Education to employ all its teachers on "a schedule so fixed that it shall be uniform in application, without discrimination on account of race, color or religious belief." Only Three Votes Against In fact only three voters "would understand" the prediction of many colored people that it was impossible that the thing could be accomplished and The story is so pregnant with suggestions for our Maryland situation that a brief recital is given.

Subsequent appeals were equally less pressured. Finally, in 1927, we decided to go direct to the legislature for a law that would remove the discretion from the State Board of Education. A prominent lawyer drew a bill for us and we found a member of the legislature to introduce the law. Thereupon we worked and secured the friends we could arouse to work for the measure.

And here is how you can PROVE it. The next time your bowels need any assistance, don't take the first laxative that comes to mind. Take one the druggist can assure you is made with CASCARA. Just as effective as using force, and it's good for the system. Indeed, it helps make good blood. For cascara is nothing but the bank of a tree. The Indians chew this bank, and live to an old without a day's sickness What happens when you cascarize the bowels? They will usually function well for SEVERAL DAYS. One more dose—no larger, and perhaps smaller than the first—and the bowels function of their own accord for a still longer time. Until you don't feel the need of any aid of any sort for weeks-on-end. CASCARETS They Work While You Sleep! BEWARE THE COLDS THA Coughs from colds may lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing CREOM FOR THE COUGH FRO PETER H. James A.

He was admitted to the bar of D. C. in 1901; served as special assistant, U. S.

"Many members of the legislature did not attend be those who were present, and attended attentively and questions were asked and answered in a very pleasant spirit. "When the vote was reached in the lower house all but three members voted in the affirmative. When the vote was taken in the Senate not a single vote was recorded against the measure. The Senate went further and added providing for the added appropriation of 100 to enable the Board of Education to put the law into effect at once. "When the bill thus amended was returned to the lower house only one vote was against it. The Governor approved the act April 25, 1927, so that our colored teachers are now in the second year of the law's benefits. Many prominent teachers in the county schools were timid and did not appear before the legislature at a single public hearing. Principal Johnson was the only Wilmington teacher who appeared. Politically, the Republicans had a majority of one in the house and the Democrats had a majority of one in the house. Our governor was a broadminded citizen." In West Virginia West Virginia West Virginia has used the same methods and secured the same results. W. W Sanders, State Supervisor of Colored Schools, President Davis and Charles E.

To sit down sinply and wish well is to be a slacker. To drop a note to your Governor, to speak or write to your Senator or your Representative, to solicit the aid of any white friend or neighbor is an act of real respect to the course of your state. You may regard yourself a real citizen without regard to race, color or previous condition. N So, the only habit you get from carcara is that of natural and normal regularity. How different from songs on one hand, how different from the more melodic Carcara is the ideal laxative; and the familiar little candy Cascaret is doubtless its ideal form.

G.—The mention of Jesse Binga's name in connection with a possible appointment as a member of the Federal Reserve Board is causing a great deal of comment here. Mr. Binga, a successful banker and business man, of Chicago, Illinois, has influential connections in the windy city which makes such an appointment seem not impossible. In fact, it has caused some to sit up and take notice, that politicians may have other interests than the office of Recorder of Deeds, Register of the Treasury, and the one or two other jobs, which have gotten to be thought of as belonging to Negro politicians. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan.—(AN P)—Walter Cohen is a candidate for reappointment to the position of Comptroller of Customs, at New Orleans. During the past few weeks, Cohen supporters have been active soliciting support and it is expected that within the next few days President-elect Hoover will be swamped with requests and recommendations from political leaders of both races. Mr. Cohen was first appointed by president-elect of the United States. firmed by the Senate. Under the Goododge administration he served as appointee, and his confirmation due largely to the efforts of Senator Charles Curtis, now vice President-elect of the United States. This position is the only federal appointment held by a Negro in the entire South and Cohen supporters are pointing to the fact that if he reappointed it he would be the seminal candidate in the lilywhites in the past campaign, that President-elect Hoover is in favor of "showing Negroes the door."

Congressional Committee Overrides Proposals Of Board and Slices Appropriations For Three New Buildings—Race Prejudice Shown Behind Move. WASHINGTON, D.C. — The District of Columbia appropriation bill is reported in the House from the committee on appropriations last Monday discriminates against the interests of the colored population of the District of Columbia. The quick approval of the budget bureau were eliminated by the sub-committee of the House appropriations committee which drafted the bill. The interest suffering the most is divisions 10 to 13 of the public schools of the District of Columbia, which the color of the government is required to reflect the Revised Lovejoy school. The subcommittee refused an item of $175,000 for the construction of an eight-room addition to the Lovejoy school, including a combination gymnasium and a property at the necessary remodeling of the present building, and also an item authorizing the purchase of land adjoining the Lovejoy school for playground service. Here, the bill also contains an item of $75,000 for the completion of the Dumb Stations at the D.C. Bill aimed at Recorder. The bill contains a provision following an appropriation for the office of the Recorder of Deeds which would keep that office from expand ing any amount without the price a approval of the commissioners of the District of Columbia. This provision is levied with alarm to the public and is active in politics. It is believed that the provision will strip the record of deeds of ever vestige of discretion in the administration of office and conversion of employment of anyone in a clerical capacity or otherwise without the approval of the "strict commissioners." An effort will be made to have the language stricken from the bill in the House on the ground that it put a limitation on an appropriation and is new legislation. As such it is sub Representative Robert G Simmons Republican, of Nebraska, the chair- man of the subcommittee, intimated at the hearings that the refusal of an appropriation of $260,000 for this project might force a settlement of controversy regardi. the continu- ence of the joyojo building as a colored school. School Protested White people in the community filed a petition with the subcommittee protesting against the proposed addition to the Lovejoy school and the purchase of additional land on the campus to a colored school in a white neighborhood. They had already filed a similar petition with the Board of Education. Serves Whole Area. The Lovejoy school is located at Twelfth and D streets orthwest. It serves that whole area. It has twenty rooms and an enrollment of 967 pupils. There are ten classes on part-tine at Lovejoy. The Logan School at Twelfth and G streets northeast, has an enrollment of 465 pupils with five part-time classes. The building of an eight-room annex and a combination assembly hall and gymnasium at the Lovejoy School. intended for the congestion at Lovejoy and of Logan. Ballou E.r It "We would like to respect the wishes of the petitioners." Superintendent Frank W. Ballon told the subcommittee, "The facilities of colored people have to be provided in that area." Mr. Ballon stated that the question is whether it is more "undesirable" to develop the Lovejoy school or the another one built in the neighborhood. In answer to Mr. Simmons, Dr. Ballon staged emphatically that the Lovejoy school would remain colored. It was then that Mr. Simmons introduced the provision for the addition might force a change in the situation. Business High For Whites The bill contains an item of $300,000 to the provision of a new Business High School for whites at a total cost of $1,500,000 with the provision that union the completion of the new school for whites the choice of School for whites the choice of Rhode Island avenue, northwest, shall be used as a colored elementary school. The Board of Education formally voted that this provision ought to be eliminated. The at hearings Dr. Ballou and Charles T. Cormier argued that it should be Education, urged that it be stricken from the bill. But Representative William P. Holaday, Republican, of Illinois, asked, "What else could it be used for?" Objection to use of the present Business High School as an elementary school for colored is based on the ground that it is located on one of the busiest boulevards of the city, Rhode Island avenue, with a tremendous lot of swift moving mobile traffic and immediate back street. The location will greatly endanger the lives of children if the building should be used as an elementary school for colored children of the Board of Education believe. No New Health School The subcommittee eliminated an item of $150,000 for the construction new health school for colored pupils. The land on which this school was to be built has already been purchased. It is located at Bladenburg and opposite the Mt. Mercury The white people in that vicinity, however, objected to the use of the land for the building of the school for the children. They told the subcommittee that there is a covenant running with land in that community and that the real interests of the community are supporting them in their effort to prevent land in that section from being used for the building of a health school for the children. A columbian school, they said, would depositate the value of their land. Subcommittee Surrendered The subcommittee surrendered to the views of the children and theible and the purchase of land an item authorizing school for colored children, although title to land was not authorized. A health school for colored children is already in the District of Columbia and the Budget Bureau had recommended an appropriation of $400 for the construction of a building. Giddies School The subcommittee also refused to include in the proposal the bill an appropriation of land in the vicinity of the Giddies school for the replacement of the "upright Lincoln school building. The item was recommended by the Bureau of the School officials proposed to build a new building on the site occupied by the Giddings school school, the purpose of the Bureau of Efficiency recommended that the school officials should establish two platoon schools, one for whites and the other for colored. A platoon-school for whites has been built. Buildings Replaced Representative Holliday opposed the proposal on the ground that it would be better to catch up with the shortage in school rooms that to replace any buildings built this time. The Fourth Priority The bill contains a provision giving only one-fourth of the graduating classes of the morning class to teaching positions in the elementary schools of the District of Columbia. When that percentage is exhausted, if this proviso remains in the Board of Education of Columbia, it would be outside of the District Columbia to teaching positions The bill also contains an item of $75,000 for the completion of the Dumbar stadium bill. The bill contains a provision at Recorder The bill contains a provision following an appropriation for the office of the Recorder of Deeds which would keep that officer from expending any amount without the prior approval of commissioners of the District of Columbia. This provision is issued with alarm by those who are-active in politics, and who are not commissioners strip the recorder of deeds of every vestige of discretion in the administration of his office and prevent his employment of anyone in a clerical capacity or otherwise without the approval of the "District commissioners." An effort will be made to have the language stricken from the bill in the House on the ground that it puts the responsibility for new legislation. As such it is subject to a point of order. When appriva-tion items for the House of Detention was under consideration, the question of segregation on the basis of classes and color was raised.

BLAME PREACHERS FOR WANING APPEAL Can't Expect Pew to Believe What Minister Does Not, Says Evangelist. "Presachers themselves are response to the waning appeal of the church," declared the Rev. C. P. Dixon, preaching from the subject, "How Can They Hear With a Preacher," at Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday morning. "Because of manuscript, the Rev. Dixon said, 'Ministers are not living what they preach and this has caused many to feel there is no reality in what they preach.'" Presidents believe in what I say if I don't seem to believe it myself? The Rev. Dixon, who is famed as the colored Billy Sunday, began a ten days' revival at the church Sunday. The church was jammed with capacity as early as 7 o'clock Sunday evening. Over 500 were turned away, politicians and many representatives are seeking cover.

Howard Strikes At Howard, a white president had fired four prominent instructors to save money and then paid them a year's salary. Fisk Strike At Fisk, students struck against harsh rules which forbade dancing and card playing, poor food, poor dormitories and in general white overcrowding. Strikes Among Whites Strikes are a periodic liability to white colleges says Mr. Davis and are a legitimate means to let off sophomore steam. Goals are using the strike method to get rid of unbearable rules and regulations. White colleges usually settle their own troubles without calling in the police as was done at Fisk, Howard and Hampton. Talladega Talladega College prescribes the following in its catalogue: Such is the fiasco of Talladega. Mr. Davis and as follows: Tougaleo At Tougaleo College smoking is forbidden, women are not allowed to receive men callers; and in the language of the catalogue, they are through the hands of the preceptresses and is subject to their inspection." Needless to say this article has very little chance of reaching the walls of this Christian institution. It is obvious that there are effective methods of preventing them from ever reaching the walls of this Christian institution. At Storer College there are similar restrictions including "the right of the college to inspect mail and express and to dispose of the same in any manner," such a rule into effect at Dartmouth or Smith! Modesty forbids my quoting from the catalogue of Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee. Suffice to say that the rules are essentially as above, plus the stipulation of what the students must wear even down to undergarments. At Atlanta At Atlanta University there is no card playing, no smoking, no dancing. There are women, no dancing. There are women, and the men must be in their rooms with lights out at ten o'clock. West Virginia At West, Virginia Collegiate Institute in addition to most of the above catalogue requirements are as follows: A. & T - Hampton At A. and T. College, Greensboro, North Carolina as at Hampton and Tuskegee, there is compulsory chapel; regulation uniforms are required; matrons rule men's dormitories; students are required to maintain their rooms; playing cards and tobacco are forbidden on the campus. Everything is done to make "Universal Robots" out of grown men and women. Nothing is left to their own initiative. The following is to student's schedule in college and T. It is similar to those at Hampic and Tuskegee: Servility Such conditions as these exist generally in practice in the Negro of the South. They are based on two fallacies: 1. That the Negro student is not prepared for the exercise of free will. Back of this is the fear of the white educator that if the Negro is allowed the exercise of free will, it is dangerous to live in the southern white community. Every effort is made to teach servility and pascifism. But the Negro student has long since given up the motto of his predecessors in college: "Take the world and give me Jesus." He is willing to share his deafness of the white man will share his world. Depositism 2. The other is the current belief that the court and executive unerringly the best method of Negro education. This is the vital fault of the benevolent despotism of white educators and philanthropists, unerringly the members of a child race, thinking they know just the kind of soothing syringe they need. 3. They are determined to stuff it down, eliminate of the Negro students, if they have to choke them to death in doing it. Vicious Restrictions These restrictions of view are largely to blame for the vicious restrictions on the Negro student. The colleges headed by Negroes, suffer from the same fate because they feel the capital. And it is the old story of "whose bread I eat his song I sing." Still another tragedy of the Nero college is its poorly equipped faculty. The white members of the faculty are either the old missionary type with little knowledge of using untrained graduate using the Nero college to gain teaching experience. Lincoln Then too the college Lincoln University where they don't accept Negroes on the faculty although there the entire student body is Negro. A faculty member in most institutions is his orientation to his personal attitude than his actual preparation and eminence.

Slowe, dean of Women of Howard University, in an address on character training, on Thursday afternoon. January 17, before a joint meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association and the Parent-Teacher Study Club of the Shaw Junior High School. Miss Slowe urged that the attitude of parents within the home be congenial and pointed out the tragic imprint upon the child's character which is made by the constant bickering of parents.

Mulberry street, was granted an absolute divorce by Judge Ruth in the Circuit court, Wednesday. Testimony showed that the couple was married in Philadelphia December 26, 1925, and that Williams deserted her on the following day. Learning where he lived, Mrs. Williams went to his home at 4915 Arch street, Philadelphia, and found him in a compromising position with Miss Dorothy Johnson, whom he had included in a friend as his wife.

Russell with prescriptions and cooperating with him in conducting a traffic in narcotic drugs, Dr. Arthur D. Brown, 'well-known physician of Salisbury, Md., was indicted by the Federal grand jury here, Friday. Investigators for the government testifying at the hearing declared that Russell, with whom Dr. Brown dealt and to whom he issued prescriptions, sold the drugs regularly. The police would be an addict. Before arresting him the operators had secured fourteen instances in which they claim prescriptions were made by the doctor. Investigators working out of the Philadelphia district testified also that Dr. Brown's activities covered a considerable section of the Eastern Shore.

The Congressman-elect referred to the act of the Congressional Club hitherto composed of wives and women relatives, of representatives and chief officers, as trivial, unimportant, and not worth wasting time to talk about. Mrs. DePriest gave no statement to the ANP. of the Congressional Club was intended to be private but Washington was startled Friday when the press got hold of the plan of Albert H. Vestal, (Rep. Ind.) to amend the constitution to permit the inclusion of the black-ball J. B. Immediately the report went around that Mrs. Vestal's business change in the construction was aimed at the fami- lly of Oscar DePriest. This caused commotion among the Republic: Proposed Amendment. The proposed amendment would provide: "Any person eligible to membership either as an active $c$ associate member, and desiring to become a member, the club, shall submit her application to the corresponding secretary of the club. Such application shall be endorsed by one or more active members of the club from the State. Territory or District where said applicant resides." The secretary, be referred to the executive committee, which shall pass upon the same and report at the first regular meeting following the receipt of such application. "If the report of the committee is unfavorable the applicant shall be denied membership in said club." That southern influence is behind this change in the Congressional Club by-laws is hindered by many, who point out that Mr. Vestal is from Indiana, one of the most Klan-ridden states in the union. Incorporated The Congressional Club is incorporated by act of Congress May 30, 1908, with the purpose of promoting official life. It is listed in the Congressional Directory of December, 1928, under the heading of miscellaneous. Women Are.

Mrs. DePriest Active It is interesting to note that Mrs. DePriest has been more active socially since her husband's election than hitherto. A number of receptions have been given in her home and elsewhere. Another element to be taken into consideration is the spirit of Mr. DePriest himself. He makes a boast and fetish of his courage. If failure to unite with every club association or agency in which he or his are entitled to membership should be interpreted by Negroes as a kind of weakness or backing up in the face of fire, it is probable that Mr. DePriest would go all the way until definite means were taken to stop him. HISTORY ASSO. BACK OF HISTORY WEEK WASHINGTON, D. C.—By furnishing pictures, books, speakers and programs, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director, is behind the fourth annual observance of Negro History Week, which begins February 3rd. Pastors throughout the country have been asked to preach special sermons on Negro history on the opening day. For the service the association is rendering, no charge is made: A large number of friends of the cause, however, suggest that during Negro History Week the schools and colleges raising money for pictures: and books to supply local needs, shall make some contribution to assist the association in paying off an indebtedness of $4,040, which has accumulated during the last three years from printing circulars, advertising materials, and the like. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the association, is making it clear, however, that he will in no way profit by the money which is raised. The association does not pay him for his services. He earns his own living by his literary work.

O. F. Of Today WRITERS ARE FLAYED Those Who Curse Preachers Are Rotten To The Core By WILLIAM H. FERRIS LOUISVILLE, Ky. —Broadway Temple A, M. E. Zion Church was crowded Thursday and three Bishops, J. S. Caldwell, G. C. Clement and F. M. Jacobs, and one General Officer, Rev. R. C. Weeden, the General Secretary, sat in the pulpit while Bishop W. J. Walls elects him and by sermon on "Jesus' Conition of Life," Matthew, 4th chapter, 17th verse. It was supposed to be the aftermath, but it was in reality the climax of the Bishops' Council which convened in Louisville, Ky., last week. More than once, when Bishop Walls rose to heights of impassioned eloquence in defending the faith, in advocating freedom in politics and warning the educated Negro that he, with race prejudice growing had little time to play, the audience answered back with Amens, and shouts of approval. And when Bishop Caldwell had to stand and clasp hands and sing, the spiritual fervor rose to the fever heat and pandemonium almost rejoined. The Negro and Politics Some of the high points in the Bishop's sermon wore the following: The Negro laid the foundation and dug the ditches and made possible the super-structure of the American civilization and he ought to snare in some of the blessings. The most unwise persons in politics in the South have negroes Negroes who think that Republicanism is friendship, is loyalty to a man who has been dead over sixty years, is slavery instead of freedom. I have nothing but profound admiration for the noble founders of the Republican Party, but when parties change, the colored citizen should adjust himself to the new constitution and manifest the spirit of freedom. The world has moved forward in sixty years and Abraham Lincoln wouldn't know his own party if he came back to earth. The Ethics Those who write in white magazines cursing preachers are often rotten to the core. I am afraid that some of our educated men and women devote too much time to jazz, dance and the auto. Play was intended and not an end in itself. And I am inclined to believe that the Negro in playing forgets that the other races won their way to the top before they took up jazz and the auto. Grateful For Religion Above all the Negroes' education is in the Christian religion. The Negro has not time to play and drift when Caucasians to play his advance and progress. The Negro has work to do and loads to carry. AMONG CHURCHES REV. WALTER S. JACKSON, Pastor 10:00 A. M.-Junior Church, Mrs. Hattie Silver, Supt.; Master Russell Davis, Junior Pastor. 11:00 A.

NEW RELIGION SAYS DYING IS WRONG N. C. Farmer Kept His Wife's Death Secret For Three Months ARRESTED, OFFICIALS PUZZLED OVER CHARGE They Finally Agree To Charge Him With Violating Sanitary Laws KINSTON, N. C.—Has a man the right to keep his wife's death a secret? "No" declared the police officials of Pitt County who arrested last week Henry McLawhorn, of Ayden, who buried his wife by himself and kept her death a secret from neighbors since last November. The coroner had the body distinterred and discovered the grawsone secret. Neighbors had missed Mrs. McLawhorn and wondered what had become of her. The husband admitted that he kept the body in the house for many days during that time, one of God's chosen end that she would be restored to activity by spiritual agencies. New Seet McLawhorn is said to belong to a new sect which believes in everlasting life. He refused to take part in the burial of his father and would not accept $40 from the deceased of his religious belief that the father did "wrong" in dying. Officials puzzled a long time over the case and finally decided that the only thing they would do with the Lawhorn was to chase him with vengeance of the sanitary law, warn him against private funerals in the future and let him go f....

To have plenty of firm flesh and the ability to do a big day's work and feel "like a two-year old" at night, you must eat three good meals a day, relish your food and properly digest it. If you can't eat, can't sleep, can't work, just take a teaspoonful of Tanlac before meals. Mr. J. Kundert, of 821-27th St., Newport News, Va., says: "Everything I ate disagreed with me and my weight kept going down. Within a month after starting Tanlac my stomach seemed like new! I gained all lost weight and energy and got rid of indigestion." Tanlac is wonderful for indigestion and constipation—gas, pains, nausea, dizziness and headaches. It brings back lost appetite, helps you digest your food, and gain strength and weight. It contains no mineral drugs; it is made of roots, barks and herbs, nature's own medicines for the sick. The cost is less than 2 cents a dose. A bottle from your druggist. Your money back if it doesn't help. Tanlac 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED E! HEAR AMONG THE CHURCHES ST. MARK'S M. E.

THE GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD HAS PLACED THE STAMP OF ITS APPROVAL UPON TALLADEGA COLLEGE-- AS ONE OF THE BEST NEGRO COLLEGES IN THE LAND AND HAS GIVEN IT One Half Million Dollars Conditioned That the College Itself Shall Raise a Like Amount Here Is The Reason For The Gift: "Talladega College proved to be a great surprise to me. I was not prepared to find an institution with buildings and equipment equal to those of many of our better known Northern institutions. Talladega College stands as one of the foremost of the Negro Colleges, with curricula, teaching, buildings, and equipment fairly comparable with those of the standard colleges for whites in all parts of the country."—Clarence Linton, Secretary of Teachers College, Columbia University. "From its beginning Talladega has been one of the most genuine colleges for colored youths in the South. The fine development, in more recent years, of its full college work deserves and should have most generous support."—J. H. Dillard, President of the Slater Fund and of the Jeanes Fund, Vice President of the Phelps Stokes Fund, Member of the General Education Board. "My personal information in regard to Talladega College consists of that gained in the two day visit which I paid to that institution a year ago on the occasion of the dedication of the new science building. I was much impressed by what I saw. The conference was of as high an order as any conference on science teaching that I have ever attended. After I got back, I took occasion to study up somewhat on higher education for Negroes and found that Talladega stands among the best of the Negro institutions."—E. P. Lyon, Dean Medical School, University of Minnesota. "In my judgment Talladega ranks in the very highest group of Negro colleges. The leaders in the College have had the right vision to plan a high-grade program and to secure a faculty that will carry out this program. In purpose, in methods, and in accomplishments, the College challenges the admiration of all those who know about it."—George B. Woods, Dean of American University, Investigator for United Bureau of Education. This Campaign to raise one-half million dollars to meet the General Education Board's gift offers an unusual opportunity for a sound investment in Negro welfare. A Subscription To This Fund Is Solicited From You Rev. G. J. Garnett Says Present Trend Would Depopulate Country In 300 Yrs. "CASTOR-OIL" PREACHER Would Purge World Of Mad Rush For Wealth "Unless God takes a hand in the matter, the world, and the United States especially, will be depopulated in 300 years," declared the Rev. G. J. Garnett, pastor of Morning Star Baptist Church, Fayette street, near Carleton Sunday morning. From the text: Micah 7: 7, and subject "The Three Resolutions," the minister dealt with the prophecy of Micah 750 years before the birth of Christ, and declared that "the recorded propheies made then pointed even to the present age. "It is well nigh a general practice among modern wives to invoke the help of scrupulous physicians in dodging food for women, with exceptions, look upon children as liabilities and have not the least hesitancy in saying they don't want them. In the mad rush for wealth and honor men have laid aside principle an justice, and today one is justifi- I in getting on top even though another has been ravaged. Judges, policemen and state's attorneys soothed with bribes, so that you can have an attorney man hanged or are closed." The speaker gave the public school system a rap and continued: "It is but another move of the brain eliminating the look from among the school boy or girl can tell you someone one of the apostles. I have information that a girl stands one of our local public schools would not be able to a higher grade because she would not dance. "I want the world to know," concluded Rev. Garnett, "that I am the castor oil preacher, dispensing the truth unadulterated and although it may be nauseating, it' bound to do you good. I believe the preachers would preach with more power and directness if they were not hand-capped by their deacons and other officials.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE. — The report of the National Director of Inter-Racial Activities for Boy Scouts for 1928 shows that there are now 618 troops of boy scouts among colored boys in troops scattered through the country. There are troops organized in every Southern State and in a large number of the States of central west and northeast. More than 800 new boys are now registered in these troops. More than 800,000 white men and boys all over the United States and today active members of the boy scout organization. One-half million colored boys are awaiting the opportunity and the leadership necessary them to get in. For the past two years the Hampton Institute Summer School has adopted courses in Scout Mastership, under Mr. M. M. Director of the organization scout movement among the youth of the South, with headquarters in Nashville. Students who have taken this work are qualified as scoutmasters and organizers of the movement in the communities and sections in which they reside. Similar courses in scout leadership will be given in the 1923 Hampton Summer School. Dr. Dames To Speak "The Old Testament of the Messiah," is the subject of an ad mission to be delivered by the Rev.

Mullery Blow Your Horn Kent County, Delaware, farmers in quarterly meeting last week adopted a resolution recommending a law requiring all people walking on a State highway or concrete roads to walk facing traffic and to carry a light at night. A law is timely, wise, and should prove effective in reducing the number of persons needlessly killed by automobiles. Over 20,000 died in auto accidents last year, nearly one-third of all the accidental deaths. tourist of 147218 auto accidents reported to the National Safety Council in 1926, 71,982, nearly half accidents in which an auto ran down a residential All of these figures show what trouble the average pedestrian has in dodging motor cars. The only difference between a city dweller and a farmer in this regard is, that the latter doesn't dodge quite as often. Figures, showing just how many persons barely escaped being run over by autos during the year by a split-second jump to safety, would run into the million mark. Autos not only run over pedestrians, but last year some 40,000 autos tried to run over each other. The autoos autos attempted to run over a moving locomotive. Of course they failed. Four thousand tried conjunctions with a street car and three thousand autos run over bicycles which got in their way. Nearly 2,000 horses last year were not nimble enough to dodge autos. No fatality list was compiled of cats, dogs, chickens and pigs. The total, however, was considerable. Four thousand used like telegraph posts, trailing electric light posts and bridge posts, trailing electric light posts and into the way of autos and were partially demolished. They took a large toll of foxes and radiators, however. All in all, the autos had a great year in 1928 and the five million new cars planned by manufacturers for 1929 will be expected to achieve even larger results, unless some such regulations as those proposed in Delaware are adopted generally. The question is. however, is it enough for pedestrians to wear a light at night. Shouldn't we also, for safety's sake, expose a red light on a horn to warn autoists who approach in the daytime, and extend our arms in a horizontal position when making a right turn? Mae Whitman Hard work, and willingness to sacrifice together with the conviction that "you can put over a good job if you work hard enough," has kept the "Whitman Sisters" on the stage for over a quarter of a century. You can't beat a crowd which won't accept defeat. The father of the Whitman girls died when he was chapel Chapel, Atlanta, Georgia. They began earning a living as concert artists in church entertainments. From there they jumped to vaudeville and musical comedy roles. Twenty years ago they played at Daly's Airdome in Baltimore and were happy if the show grossed 1,500. Monday, "Whitman Sisters" attracted 2,700 people to the Royal Opera, of all the performers of the years ago, not many of them, handing their own show. Of Cole and Johnson, Williams and Walker, S. H. Dudley, Irvin Miller,—Mr. Miller and the Whitman Sisters are left carrying on. Mabel Whitman, the elder, and in many respects the "Ma" of the sisters, might read she owes her success to the face that she pleases her Bible twice a day and says she prays before she goes out to give a performance. But she doesn't. She says she works as well as pays. The Davis Bad Boys Mr. Allison Davis, Hampton instructor of English, and Mr. John P. Davis, Harvard graduate student, are not brothers or otherwise related by blood. They have united, however, recently in criticism of conditions in general and colleges in particular. Mr. Allison Davis declares our land Grant College heads are either "ignoramuses or clever politicians." Mr. John P. Davis finds a growing revolt among young college students who are suffering under "pernicious" regulations compelling them to attend chapel, and requiring them to abstain from smoking, dancing, and playing cards on the campus. The strange thing about these criticisms is that they come from men who are not products of our colleges. This does not invalidate criticisms of facts, but it is important. Mr. Allison Davis attended college at Amherst. He has taught two or three years at Hampton. He was assisted to the president of Fisk for a year. As for the list of "ignoramuses or politicians" a number of estimable college heads are included. Among them are Mr. John M. Gandy, Va. State College, President and 1827 Harmon Medal in education; Mr. John W. Dempsey, Va. Institute and 1828 Harmon Medallist. Others are Dr. Grossey of Delaware State College; Dr. John O. Spencer of Morgan College, Ballimore; President B. F. Hubert, Georgia State College; Mr. R. S. Wilkerson, of S. C. State College. To take just two of this number, Mr. Gandy and Mr. John W. Davis, either the Harmon Enquiry. Davis. "Igoramuses and they've President Spencer of the College has devoted his life to building of an institution which has turned out hundreds of worth while citizens. If he is an "igoramus or clever politician," we need more of his kind. Our advice to the Davis bad boys is to dig a deeper into the college situation. His bite more hopeful than it appears on the surface. Delaware Shows How For those who believe that Maryland's rural teachers should lead the way in petitioning the legislature to equalize salaries of colored and white teachers, the example of Delaware is enlightening. In another column, Mr. Isaiah Howard of Laurel, tells how the leading citizens of Delaware urged upon the legislature the need of a single salary scale, and they, with the aid of the Governor and the best thinking among the white group, put over the program. The teachers themselves may seem to be the immediate beneficiaries of better salaries, but beyond that, the parents and the State itself. Better paid teachers mean better teaching, better pupils, better citizens, better Maryland. Every citizen and every organization should see the need of laying this cause upon the hearts of Governor Ritchie, State Superintendent Albert O. Cook, and the members of the legislature. Criticism By The SAGE OF THE PATAPSCO Every student of nature knows that one flower differs from another in beauty. This is also true of the stars, but to their credit we hear of no sound that indicates a variance among them which is so unwise man describes as "the most beautiful" in two groups—constructive and destructive—but, as a matter of fact, the person at whom it is directed invariably places upon it the latter interpretation, which is perfectly natural since it is close to the self preservation. Moral issue with one your physical or literary equal, does not necessarily entail risk nor demand courage, but to attack your superior requires mettle that is not to be found in the average person. Mass at rather preferred by most of us, for the wolves are wonderful when in a park, but cowardly when alone. The victim of criticism oftimes is innocent, but his inability successfully to combat the views of another results disastrously and thousands of men have hit the toboggan in public life because they did not have the guts to withstand the stigma. Suffered Torment How often have friendships been blasted because in an unguarded moment you have peppered with bird shot the pet idea of a companion. How many poor wives have suffered torment because the husbands had no more gumption than to tell them the pie crust tasted like eaten in a pie crust. The critic has a substitute to offer, but such is not true in most cases, for the chronic fault finder does not have in view the betterment of the thing he attacks, but its demolition, and that's why lodges and churches make life miserable for those members who are ever and anon raising some objec- Public Opinion On the other hand criticism has played an important part in reformations and has swung public opinion in line on issues that otherwise would have been unmolested, exacting as a toll the lives of martyrs who lost his life because he criticized a king; Paul was beheaded because he criticized the Jewish religion; John Brown was hanged for exposing the unfairness of slavery, and even Marcus Garvey, no doubt, would an American today, but for the fact that he criticized the government and was himself a victim of criticism. Indeed it is far easier to act the part of a hypocrite and agree to the suggestion or idea of a friend than to tell the truth. Every man has a right to his own opinion, but only slaves or prisoners are obliged to accept another's belief as final. Editorials Readers of the editorials of Race journals must admit that each two out of three are critical and not only one week, but every week, take to task some individual issues of the race, and humiliate the Negro race. And herein lies the basic good of a criticism that has a principle. Not a few of us hold views on matters of public moment, but we do not as such as as other related, and I fear, if the target be located and the gauge set, many of us with a feeling of security would soon discover our vulnerability. I believe it a splendid evidence as to a man's ability to the storm center, and my idea of a hero is he who will stand by his guns and die unless his critic brings something better. No Laws Show by criticism that some scoundrel has embezzled the life savings of a widow and you are in danger; expose the poor work of the supposed mechanic by comparison expose the poor work of the supposed mechanic by parison; and you stir up hatred; expose the inner e of that man and he preaches about your business; Sunday; lay bare the laxity of and you liable to be hailed. I tell you, it's a mighty fine thing to know how and when to criticize, for there is no law on earth. You can't criticize your wife without you a black eye or to stop your wife from presenting it, with a rolling pin. Don't Let Color Bother You. Whatever you do, don't let the color of your skin trouble you. The radii of action of the mind and soul of blacks, whites, red and yellow are the same, each responds to the action and reaction of God and plays its part in the Divine program. A writer in the last issue of the AFRO-AMERICAN stated, "Remove the color and the black man can have all the blessings of the world." The Spirit of God once took delight in the black印 that dwelt for centuries in the sun path, the East centuries before it stood over the spot where Jesus was born. We are from the South, and on this virgin continent we shall play our part to the honor and glory of God. RUDOLPH A. BLAGROVE Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Burroughs Calls For The Order Of The Day At The Fact-Finding Conference. To the Editor: We were privileged to meet in the FACT-FINDING CONFERENCE which was held in Durham, North Carolina, in 1928 announced that they had found the facts. They are now calling another conference to meet this 1929 conference and could not be called a FACT-FINDING Conference. Unless we are given something worthwhile to do the meeting might degenerate into a Fault-Finding Conference. The next step for the Conference is to set the face of their importance in a PROGRAM OF ACTION; lay plans to tackle the first number on the program by selecting a highly qualified force of men and women to conduct an intensive, multi-field, well-organized campaign of enlightenment. Those who were privileged to meet in the FACT-FINDING CONFERENCE which was held in Durham, North Carolina, in 1928 announced that they had conducted a calling conference to meet in April, but 1929 conference should not be called a Fact-Finding Conference. Unless we are given something worthwhile to do the meeting might degenerate into a Fault-Finding Conference. The next step is to take up in order of their importance and significance in a PROGRAM OF ACTION; lay plans to tackle the first number on the program by selecting a highly qualified men and women to be intensive, nation wide, field and publicity campaign of enlightenment and enlightenment. The 1929 meeting should not be simply a REHEARING CONFERENCE of false facts; the 1929 Conference should give us the remedy and not punish us by making us sit on the facts any longer. The facts are to stand up and face them and apply the remedy--however painful. phy On to Durham to Face the Facts Practically. The order of the day, Fact-Finders, is ACTION! Mr. Chairman, we call for the order of the day. Washington. D. C. NANNIE H. BURROUGHS, Amalgamation Won't Solve Race Problem, This Reader Declares, And Tells Why. To the Editor: settle the race problem as it effects the Negro in the United States, etc., is to say the least, far fetched, as other races, no matter their troubles, the basis of color prejudice is ignorance, and those that practice it are influenced sensibly. For more than three hundred years, the other race has been trying to make us believe that to be free, white and twenty-one, was the sum total of all human happiness.

THY WILL BE DONE What Has Become Of Charity Fund Left Philadelphiaians In 1891? To the Reverend: There is an item which I believe will prove of general interest. In looking over the bound volume of "The Church Advocate" for 1891, in the April number, I came across the following arti- "TO ENFORCE CIVIL RIGHTS. "In dying, John D. Lewis, the pioneer colored lawyer of the Philadelphia bar, left a legacy for the purpose of perpetuating his name and memory. He has wishes placed on his memory and philanthropists on hand to assist the officers of the law in the execution of their duties under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Federal Constitution, and the civil rights acts of Congress. Under any circumstances, he will be involved in the this field of benevolence. He left an estate of $100,000. After leaving the residence, 1039 South Broad street, for the use of his wife, during an annuity of $800 additional to his wife and annuities of $400 each to a son and daughter by a former wife, Mr. Lewis bequeaths to the State directions are to form a 'charitable organization,' with headquarters at Philadelphia, to be named 'The Lewis Protective Breau of Civil Rights,' whose objects are to be 'to protect, aid and secure to colored citizens their civil rights, and to give financial assistance who seek redress from class discrimination." It certainly would be most interesting to learn what has become of such organization, if it ever functioned at all. GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr. Pennsylvania Avenue Italian Shot At Patron And Asked Police To Move Niggers From His Side-Walk. Police Instead Of Arresting Him, Alided Him. To the Editor: Another case for Captain Lassiter and Commissioner, Galter to settle. milestone that I know to know if there is an open season that Italians or what not can shoot at colored citizens as if they were rabbits with impunity. An Italian is alleged to have followed into the street and shot two or three times with the intent to kill a patron suspect. The scene at Pennsylvania avenue and Greenwillow street, about three minutes after the alleged shooting. One officer approached at that time. The alleged would-be murderer (Italian) grabbed the officer and instructed him to get the "niggers" that done. The officer was apparently satisfied to scatter the crowd and call it a closed incident. Other officers who came later were somewhat restrained. More than 30 minutes passed and no arrest was made when the writer left. A few questions we would like to answer, and if so, what collateral or penalty? If no arrest was made, then why not? If an officer was leaving the scene and was carried back by two plain clothes men and demanded to make the arrest? Was there a compromise or secret pact and why did it happen by a business paying off like a 'slot-machine' in now the way of the "Baltimore Morning Sun," January 15th states, "Negro Plostal Carriers Given Terms In Prison." One was given seven years and another six months for threats against a policeman. In the article the军官 alleged. It will also be remembered that Dr. J. A. White was arrested by one of these officers sometime ago and was carried to the station house. The blunder was that he did not believe the woman in his car was colored. If Dr. White had not put up $50 for himself and the lady on a technical charge of disorder conduct, both would have had to spay his offence. To add in anyway to his magistrate find him $5 and sanctioned the conduct of the officer. What we want to find out definitely, that we may govern ourselves accordingly is if there is one law for the white man and another law for the colored man? DR. JAMES A. WHITE. 1028 Pennsylvania-av. The Man Who Makes Himself White To Gain Natural Advantages Does Not Despise His Color. To The Contrary, He Thinks As Much Of It As Those Who Are Too Timid To Take The Risk, Or Too Slothful To Conform Them To Present Conditions. To the Ease. B. B. C Allen is correct when he says that mutuates have more material advantages in this country than black Negroes. But real Negroes should not wish to change their color because it subjects them to many material dis- There are, oftentimes, advantages wrapped up in disadvantages. Civilization advances faster in the temperate zone than in the tropics; cause the disaffected to feel more confident, think to hustle, to invent, and to discover. Human progress, itself, is the child of disadvantages. The Negro has lived in sloth, in idleness, and in savagery so many ages in the past. I do not know the other group of mankind, who despises itself so intensely as the black group of the colored people. Their white teachers and their mulatto teachers, and the black teachers have been colored whites and mulattos are responsible for this condition of affairs existing among our black Negroes. I wonder if mulattos know that their adversaries get rid of his black color, has a most permissible effect on that element of black Negroes who are not only illiterate, but who are also densely ignorant and brutish. It encourages such Negro men to rap, and in and among them, make any group of people disrespectful to themselves, and it will not respect man, law or God. Mr. Allen says he does not approve of wholesale racial inter-marriages, nor of the marriages between extreme colors. Mr. Allen is If racial intermariage ever takes place in this country, it will be between whites and mulattoes, never between whites and blacks. In such an event, whenever the mulatto population comes as a result of the black population, it would oppress black Negroes more bitterly than would the whites. They and the whites would, in some cruel way, destroy the blacks. We believe that black Negroes to fight racial intermariage to the last ditch, and to keep on fighting it. Thank God, we black Negroes have a leader in Marcus Garvey, who teaches us that we are as good as white men. He teaches us how to ashame, to hate, to hate the white man; not to believe the damnable things that the white man says about our racial inferiority. We believe in Marcus Garvey because he teaches us to develop race consciousness; a pride in our race; a desire to want a home in Africa—not for ourselves, but for our great, great, grandchildren. If Mr. Allan and other mulattoes want to join us, we welcome them. But if they want to stay with the white Nes But if they want to stay here with the white folks, we don't care a copper. We black Negroes are going to Africa—some day. Washington, D. C. JOHN E. HARRIS, GEORGE F. BRAGG, Jr. JOHN ALLISON OUR COLLEGES FRED B. WAISON K.M.Says: (Continued from Page 1.) Reasons Why Hoover Should Name A Negro Among Nine Members Of His New Prohibition Commissions. When Governor Smith suggested the appointment of a Tariff Commission to deal scientifically with the question of imposts, it was none other but Secretary Hughes who declared that the tariff could be in such scientific and non-partisan fashion. Research And Survty We are living in a day of research and surveys. "Smoke out the Facts" — cries the student and the statesman imbued with the modern sociological spirit and point of view. "We shall know the facts, and the facts will make you sizzle." But facts without comprehensive power of interpretation and vitalization are as useless as a heap of dead leaves. All of our government department loads of statistics with wagon loads of statistics with wagon loads of dead as the dry bones in Ezekiel's valley. Governor Smith contended that we already know all of the requisite data on prohibition and amendment is being flouted and defended. A hundred years of investigation will not make any plainer the fact that President Nicholas Murray Butler and his brother Richard Butler, and this provision of the Constitution and this openly declare the impossibility of enforcing it. No Use To Survey So long as this defiant attitude is allowed to go unrebuked by the government at Washington research and education institutions, it is of historical suggestiveness to throw into comparison the attitude of a former president when a distinguished Senator threatened to kill the United States, but a law of Congress. But times have changed and presidents have changed with them. * The details and purpose of this commission Mr. Hoover has not yet disclosed. It must, therefore, be taken for granted that when explained his scheme with given infaction it will be used with some effect of effective enforcement of this moral provision. Nine Citizens This commission is to consist of nine citizens appointed by the President to be both wet and dry in its personnel. Senator Jones of Washington, who is as dry as Senator Borah, and Senator Walter Edge of New York, who is wet. Butler, made a joint call upon the President-elect and received this assurance. It is to be presumed, that the Commission is to represent all phases of political and moral opinion on the Negro Member This leads me to suggest that Mr. Hoover should be importted to appoint a Negro member of the Commission. Surely his new serve as a race recognition, but importantly to help to promote the great end in view. It is deeply to be regretted that the Negro has not as yet seemed to grasp the deep moral significance of the Eighteenth Amendment. Negro publicists and organs public opinionaries in the general ridicule and derision of the law, or at best have given it the advantage or disadvantage of their silence. And yet this same provision has not been applied to the Negro; but if annulled, it means his doom. A Negro member of the Commission would tend to give its findings greater consideration than whom it is calculated to save, but who are great saints against their own salvation. Bootlegier The Negro petty boolegers are made the tool of the master minds of white operatives in illegal beverage, not only among their own race but among white indulgers as well. The race as a whole has been the model of the Eighth Amendment nor has it been made fully conscious of the moral inconsistency involved in insisting upon being the benefactor of the Constitution while violating and condoning violation of another. It is well and good to assign colored men to go moral stations and serve the nation regardless of race, but wherever feasible it is well to give them function where they can serve race and labor on a labor board, placing a labor leader on a labor board, obvious intention is that he may both represent and serve the class of which he is an exponent. Range Of Places Lessening The range of places accorded to the colorate race of the minister. The ministership to Haiti has been closed for sixteen years. Let us hope that it will be restored either for the purpose of a worker who has been mentioned, and who would make a number one representative of, both race and nation, or for some other worthy cause. The registrars of the Treasury has just been filled by a fresh apprentice. Old gates are closing and no new ones are being opened, and the ministers are feasible, and sundry members of the race are qualified by ability and attitude for this exalted assignment. Our experience has shown the interest of the administration by loyal campaign service present this suggestion as part of their program, which let us hope will be at least as effective as that of the late lamented Mr. Matthews.

The Republican party is something like the white man's religion; all right but something is radically wrong with the proponents of both. SUNSHINE A little bit of sunshine. A sprig or spray of cheer. Do more to help the weary Than a frown or gloomy tear. When your heart is hanging heavy, Filled with thoughts quite dark or gray. A little bit of sunshine Does much to make it gled. When the day is long and tiresome And the sky is bleak and gray. A little bit of smiling Makes the whole world seem 'more gay. The birds will waddle sweeter. The sun will glisten a golden hue. But after the storm comes the sunshine. The hill is washed sweet and jean. And gleaming 'erhead in the azure sky. A sparkling rainbow in seen. -Virginia Chumley, Chattanooga, Tenn. —The Pathfinder. DAYBYDAY WK. N. JONES Changing Young Attitudes On Life What young people are thinking concerning present-day world problems is highly interesting. A group of younger college women at a recent meeting of the Baltimore College Women's Club, commenting on a lecture given them by William Abrams on Soviet Russia, declared that there will always be the kind of selfishness among human beings which would kee' some on top and some under them, a woman scolding. Unusually interesting was the remark by one young college woman that men and women will always get a certain pleasure out of having a finer home, better food and more luxuries than others of the community in which they live. To vision a world where everybody possesses the same necessities and luxuries of life, would be hard to do in this age of individual initiative, many believe; but one does not have to go far back in the past or look far in the future, to see that we are headed that way. We happen a while, once, as Soviet Russia is rising up, but there is little doubt but that there is a constant leveling of human opportunities. One of the abnormal system that we many joy, comes from what one possesses, but from one possesses THAT OTHERS DO NOT POSSESS. Women, for instance, rarely enjoy wearing fur coats made of wool, warm and beautiful; but because few other people can wear them. This is true with many so-called luxuries. Men hoard millions of dollars they never use or need only because they get a certain pride in having what some other men have not. And have you ever pondered how brutal and animal-like this spirit is? Have you ever reasoned how you should repose kill the mottled vating forces of war brutes of burden out of some and pampered weakly out of others? This spirit in the present generation is a remnant brought down from the time when men and women believed that even God gave them the privilege of the slavery of others, but to hath the privilege down to their descendants. The old white aristocracy of the South still believes the slave system and parents of these same young men who met in the recent meeting, were given to them as slave and human beasts of burden. When that former aristocracy were girls and boys they probably argued that it was necessary to have slaves to have an aristocracy. But young white men and women of the South no longer, because they are queer prank of Nature that young colored women, progeny of a slave ancestry, could thinkingly believe that the present system of wage labor is a capitalist regime can endure. There will come a time in this world when to own more than you have by brawn or brains produced will be considered the same crime in your possession with stolen goods in your possession. Economic Facts For Sound Conclusions Strangely enough these young college women have not delved deep into the economic structure to obtain sound conclusions. For instance, one young woman stated that those who possess unusual wealth are more likely to be unnusual ability and initiative. This young woman I as not perhaps read the biographies of those who forged our present inventions, but rather the tarantian benefactions. Most of them died poor. Even the few like Edison, who may be considered among the rich have the privilege of owning the transportation and electric companies who grab the millions produced by Edison's brain children. Rarely do the painter who reaps the product of his initiative and persistence. He should. The same is true of the strudely educated Wall Street calculator is able to gamble more out of twenty acres of wheat in a single transaction of a few minutes than a family of six is able to get in touch with a browniest seaking rain. Nothing is more helpful, however, than the fact that some of the leading young women of the group are more likely to experience of these world problems; for, conscientious stud- and research will gradually lead them into a changed attitude towards life as it has in the past; and some of them may be more mature in their group. Because there are misery and poverty in this world, like disease, they will wreak consequences on the rich and poor. And there will be misery and poverty as long as we have a system based on the fact that it is necessary to keep some humans oppressed, that others may have super-luxuries; that is, as long as there is not complete fairness. And what men and women pro- Hip! Hurrah!

To date most of the booths are taken and are being brought to the group to the attention of the consuming masses are being worked out. It should be not only a source of education for all, it should teach the business man the power of push and publicity. While the object of this present organization is to put the business man in a position that the project will inspire a year-round series of activities designed to develop race business here. There will be an excellent business and professional man, and every external organization, and event minister to join the business which is trained and practiced of success. Better Out Than In?

It was not long afterwards that he came to this city, the most beautiful, their oldest child, began his career as a child actor in the movies and became a star in the Hal Roach comedies, later, there were born daughters, Morrison and Dorothy and daughters, Florence, Dorothy and Ethel. Both parents were supremely happy during this productive period, having a son who was a screen dol and the little girls had chances of following in his footsteps. End Of Happiness In 1925 Mr. Morrison began to contract for the appearance of his son, whom he raised in the village of the United States. To most folks the step seemed like the entrance to a bigger career and a bigger fortune for the boy star, actually, it was the happiness of the parents. According to Mrs. Morrison, her husband and son left her in Los Angeles and went traveling, but no money was ever sent back to her for the care of herself and daughter. Deserted She also claimed that her husband deserted her on last October 7, leaving her without sufficient money to herself and the small girls. In addition to this, Mr. Morrison is charged with having left the state of California and taking the other four children with him. He did not carry out this threat, although he did so to it that the girls were placed in a private room and that Mrs. Morrison made several attempts to have her divorce action heard without success. Calvin was knocked down by a car, Taylor, Tristan, and Ragland, eventually succeeded in removing the trial obstacles.

The popular concordian zounds was a passenger on one of the trains that was wrecked on the Pennsylvania Railroad last Thursday night. The conductor hinted at an engagement at the New Albert Casino. Several members of his aggregation were with him. While six persons were killed and three injured, Henderson, Fletcher and his men escaped injury. While the conductor and director of New York's popular musicians was arranging to get his arm to the hull of the ship, the hall were clamoring around the box office, believing that the promoters had intentionally made misrepresentations of the clock and proceeded to pay up or all lost time. The 1200 persons who jammed the casino were thankful that they waited. The music was the best of them, who spoke time and a gala exhibition of clothes were shown by the female of the species, while the males proceeded to give exhibitions of their other popular dances. Every one was satisfied at the end.

The most interesting query is, will the New Pythian Castle draw the crowd to the hall on December 3rd, years gone by, long before the fire ever happened to wreck the Pythian hall? Extensive and expensive plans are being made for the second annual Bal des Arts, which will be held at Auditorium on February 14. The Bal des Arts attracted considerable popularity at its initial dance last year when the affair was a semi-costume dance that will be allowed on the floor dance unless he or she is in costume. The affair is similar to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans and other areas. There will be seats in the gallery for spectators other nite ;su; for spectators; then there will be seats to accommodate those who wish to enjoy a reapst and refreshment during the specialty dances and various other entertainments.

Dr. Johnson said that enrolled in American college, universities, normal and professional schools equals a little more than one-h-[. The total enrolment of Columbia university in New York.

Of the 47,000 colored churches in the United States, hardly more than 500 are pastored by men who have gone the distance to learn their number will not be augmented by any more than 100 presons now in first grade seminaries. Colored clergy in general, he said, is vastly inferior to the white. Nor is it to be wondered at that there is a total absence of intellectual simulation in the average sermon. Explaining why the educated Negro gets away from the masses, Dr. Moore said, "Men do not take their places according to merit ordinarily when they are black. In proportion as a Negro arrives at excellence in his field, he arrives at distance from the masses." "Few educated colored men persist and do make their scholarship productive. How they do it is a mystery. They are rarely lived on a salary which was only $2,700.

"Among the speakers," says the report, "was a man named Carroll, said he represented the Chicago Real Estate Board, a noble organization he termed it." and was therefore one hundred per cent in sympathy with the segregation Bombs Failed "Carroll opened his address by saving that since bombing had failed to accomplish its purpose (ne Negro in the city of New Orleans bombbed after moving him from his home) he Corrigan-Curtis decision in Washington in 1926 was a decession to the suffering Nordics Chicago, since it legalized the bombing by covenant the Supreme Curtis was not passed on the validity of such covenants.)

He gestured that Negro meant that Negroes to live somewhere but asserted they were occupying three times as much territory as they needed. He affirmed that the invading forces had been stopped and that the Negro would never get beyond Dreskel Boulevard. The next speaker, an Englewood banker, declared the white people of Chicago were tired of running whether they would or not be of Negro invasion, and declared the men who would not quit until the job of restricting was done. Negroes Should Die or Sell The floor brought out the fact that nothing could be about 20 pieces of property already owned by colored people in the district until the colors people decided to leave. The chairman intimated that things sometimes happened and that some would die, while in the latter event a white purchaser would enter the district and then would enter into the restriction covenant and thus in course of time the district would undoubtedly be 100 per cent owned and the family that has lived in the district 25 years or more and there are 5 children, all in remarkably good health and who love the home place and the chairman was not unhappy.

He said that at one time the colored people had started in the right direction—toward the stove and the fire, and toward the trees they turned them back. They then turned eastward, he said, where the silkstocking crowd supinely let them come until they had gotten possession of one of the finest thoroughfares in the world, Grand Boulevard. "He assured them that 'THEY had started in time and by taking advantage of the covenant which permitted against any Negro who should thereafter buy in the sacred precincts and to enter suit against the white man who sold to him, they would forever be in danger of worry.

"When the vote was taken it was unanimous and voiciferous and the vote was unanimous and between Halsead and Racine streets will be forever barred, they were assured, to any but Nordics.

Inquiring The Question: Teachers At School No. 120 Wear Smocks. Should School Teachers Wear Clothes Of Such Nature As To Attract The Attention Of Children? The Answers Miss Mabel Whiting, Executive Secretary, W. Y. W. A.: "Children like anyone to look attractive, especially their teacher. Yet they do not like dressing that is extreme. I am not a people along this line since my work is among young people and I have previously been a school teacher. I know that the dress of the teacher has a great effect upon the atmosphere of the schoolroom. My in my work here to dress so that there will exist an atmosphere of cooperation between us, in that the girls admire my appearance, and when I ant to do is to come on me. "They often come up to me and say, 'Oh, Miss Whiting. I certainly like the waist, which the case might be. 'I recall at one time that I was wearing dark colored clothing and a dead gloomy atmosphere existing among the children. I just couldn't imagine what the trouble was, until one day I saw that my dress may be that my dress has an effect upon these children', so the following Monday I wore a well starched white waist, and immediately I noticed a new one. "Many of them came to me and t-id me how nice they thought, looked at me and asked whether they should dress attractively and yet attractive dressing does not necessitate extreme or vain dressing."

GERMAN OPERA CHANGED ABOUT IN U. S. VERSION A la Jolson JAZZY LOVE SCENES ARE ALSO CHANGED Love Affairs Of Black Hero And White Girls Are Toned Down NEW YORK — "Jonny Spielt Auf," a German opera, was given by the Metropolitan Opera Company. Saturday night but it was a far different affair from the play originally given in Dresden, Vienna, Paris and other large cities. In the first place, the hero, Jonny, a colorist American jazz band leader, was not a colored person at all in the opera. This role was taken by a white man with his face blacked a la Johnson. Basked of a Paul Robson or Jules Bledsee in this main role, it was interptered by Michael Bohnen, a white German barbone with a face blacked with burnt cork. berties Other librarians were taken with copies of Kennet's libratory which was given without change in Dresden, Vienna, Paris and Berlin in its original form and created such a sensation that the *L politian Opera Company made a bid for it.* Love Scenes hanged As a show of how love scenes in the American version had been changed, the third scene of act one shows the corridors of one of the upper floors of a Paris hotel. Yvonne, the white chambermaid sings the praises of Jony the Amer-ger Negro jazz band - aer of the hotel. My Jonny Yvonne — Ah, that's my Jonny! What a player he is! Ah, I'm his, body and soul! Jonny — Come, swee' e. Give me a ball! Yvonne — Jonny! Jonny — Now, dearle, don't hurry away! O, you know how much I love you! O, what hurt me! Another Night Lost Yvonne — While I'm sweeping the stairs, dusting the room, brushing the clothes here, I think only of my Jonny boy! O, what hurt me! We're new brooms — and it all will have 'een just another season. (Jonny deserts to Yvonne as soon as he gets a glimpse of the climpe of his prima donna, Anilis, whereupon Yvonne decides to set her cap for the violinist, Daniello, but Daniello's heart is occupied elsewhere when Yvonne drags her vacuum cleaner over the corridor rug.) Yvonne — I've got rid of Jonny and the other fellow would not notice me! What a ply! A night Lines Changed In another love scene Yvonne is supposed to kneel at the feet of Jonny raise her head and say, "wow, praise Jehovah who created "I will praise Jehovah who created n.een black." n.en black." The Metropolitan libretto changes their reading to read. "Iwill praise Jehovah who created violins for jazz violinists." Another Love Scene Another love scene in the corridor of a Paris hotel where Jonny gets his first glimpse of the beautiful prima Jonny — O. by Jove, this white girl is beautiful! Makes me feel as though I had never encountered before! I warred Madame (started) What do you want of me? Jonny (with animal-like insultation) — You are so beautiful! I love you! Anita (violently) — Let me pass! Jonny — O. I'm a husky, take it from me! Just ask the girls Paris! ropontan. Scents Sold Out Every swailable seat in the opera house was sold out for wecks in advance and the prices included a top. Many were satisfied with stand- Hero A Jazz Wand Leader In the story of the opera the hero is Jonny, a colored jazz band man who has conquered the world with 'i's. Jonny has not been on the european side of the Atlantic long before he discovers that interracial love and courtship are not disdained the greater percentage of the white folk of the world. Jonny is fitted with the charms of a white chambermaid. Yvonne starts to count the beautiful opera singer, Anita, and tries all the harder upon learning that the hard rivals, the composer Max, and the violinist, Dustin. The Last Act The last act, the most thrilling of all, takes place in a continental railroad station, where careless Jonny is run over and killed by the express train in which Max and Anita armed band. Suddenly the illuminated station clock becomes transformed into huge globe of the earth, which we perceive jousting as the drama just presented, the moral of which is indicated when the grimming black hero invites all humanity to join in a strenuous outward pursuit of jazz, while he strikes up a band. The Music The music of the overa is a succession of jazz rhythms, Charlestons and blues, something unknown to Grand Opera. True Portrait The fact that Jonvn was played on the European opera stage by a orped man or that he itself was written by or recorded as a portrayal of Europe's attitude toward colored people. Sex relations of blacks and whites were handled without restraint. The use of a school uniform instead of a school uniform person for library at the Metropolitan is a reminder that a white woman was used to take a colored role in Lola Belle, but she was not in Chili's White" had Paul Robbins in the leading role.

Johnson Criticlese Criticising the Metropolitan Opera Company for using a black face comedian instead of a colored singer, James Weldon Johnson, of the N.Y.C. act, is quoted in the Graphic as, "It seems to me that the Metropolitan Opera Company and its public should be willing, at least for art, to face the facts of life or leave them alone. "The Metropolitan Opera tries to alter the text and central idea of the opera to make it appear that the leading character was not intended to be a Negro, but a white man backed up. The opera management makes itself ridiculous, but perverts a work of art in reference to sobriety."

Ill in a private room in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Booth Tarkington, author, made possible for two colored boys, armed with a gift of flowers, to see him. The two youngsters, Gilbert Scherer and John Martin, both students at Dunbar Junior High School, came to the hospital hospital a bouquet which was the result of a collection taken up among his friends applying to Mr. Tarkington, the new refused admittance because the doctors had ordered quiet, but so persistent were the youngsters in their effort to see the great novelist that Mrs. Tarkington was conferred with concerning the meeting.

The two boys then presented the flowers they had been delegated to bring by their classmates, and after being thanked personally by Mr. Tarkington they refried. Studied Stories The children of the Dunbar Junior High School have studied some of the stories of Mr. Tarkington under their teacher, Miss Margaret Williams, and in doing so have become very much enthused about the stories and the author, and upon seeing in the paper that the gentleman was present in Baltimore for a period of hospitalization at John Hopkinson, he needed to take up a collection and buy flowers to cheer the sick man, John Scherer, who, it appears, works for a florist, was put single-handed on the greeting committee but John Martin bribed the other youngster to let him assist; so instead of a committee of one, there was a committee of two.

Cites Abuses In his resolution Mr. Fine cites abuses and bad management of the institution covering a long period as revealed by various Grand Jury reports. Special mention is made of the fact that the original object of the institution — that of giving the boys such "school instruction" and education as would fit them to their rightful place in the life being sadly neglected.

RENAISSANCE ROUTS MORGAN A streak of greased lightning in the form of the Renaissance basketball team, flashed out of the New York sector, night and night, and came about the New Albert court, struck in all its itsy-bits to fell the Morgan Bears by a 37-24 decision. Long before eight o'clock, the time for the preliminary contest fans had begun, through the door of the Albert and when time was called a crowd estimated at 2,000 had packed and jammed every nook and cranny in the hall some courageous few being perplexed some rafters. Many were turned away. At exactly 9:27 the game was on and the ball was in the air, when "Lanky" Jones getting first up off from the Sunderns. The Morgan cross-cross worked perfectly "black" Spencer missed his shot. our backs up. A minute later "cute" Brown stormed down the north side of the court and flipped through the first score two goals by Jones and one each by Pinky, Clarke and Wheatley, coupled with two free throws by Morgan, with the visitors at half time. With just a half minute to play before the end of the first period Ricks slipped in a free throw which gave Rens a one-point lead at half time. Morgan Takes Lead Both teams started off the second half with the fastest of the course games, these parts in the day, and the Bears, with Brown, Wheatley and Jones doing the scoring, eased away to lead the New Yorkers, who were af-far from playing. But they were not to hold that lead long, for while Morgan was scorching a some point from the foul line during the rest of the game Saunders. Slocum and Ricks were scorching three, two, and one field goals, respectively, with "Pappy" getting a pair of freebies and Saunders contributing one. At one time the Rendiaissance basketers "froze" the ball, naissance basketers "roze" the ball, the Bears racing fruitlessly about the court in an effort to gain possession of the sphere. Thest was passing was so swift and accurate that at times it seemed uncanny. They toy-ed with the Bears like children. Bear Forwards Checked So close did Jenkins and Mayer guard the Morgan forwards that Spencer went scoreless from the floor while Clarke was able to count only once. The cool and methodical playing of Saunders at center brought the plaudits of all the fans, who agreed that he lived up to his name of "Stretch." Saunders figured almost every play made and demonstrated how to gain possession of the ball and keep it on entire Rensselaance quint. Then, noted as one unit, with Ricks leading all of the scorers with 13 points. Saunders and "Lanky" Jones were next with nine Morgan Misses The game was a hard and clean at tailback and player being put out for roughness. Morgan missed seven of eleven foul tries while the Rens made a like number in the game. The handball game by two players is aided in speeding up the play.

Our peeping sleuth relays to us such information that there are other reasons why it is felt Frank should make the change—reasons with which we will not concern ourselves here. Certainly it will be agreed that if Warfield will come to the Monumental City outfit, he will make a sack, and possibly put Lindsay at third. We don't want that owner Rosaster is entirely satisfied with the state of hairs around the hot corner and there may be a new face where he imagines Cum Posey's offer of "Jawn" Beckwith and Dhigo Dhigo for Wilson? That is putting a offer on the services of the team that don't believe that Mr. Rossiter would even consider the trade. Wilson is too colorful a player to be bartered even excellent performers, and with his ability and following he has wherever the team plays, his absence from the lineup would be keenly felt. He called the names of several Black Sox players in this column four weeks ago and you can mark my words that when the roll is called in the spring there are going to be some absentee players too, we mean. The loss of Ben Taylor, of course, all fell, but even last season numerous fans were heard to remark that they felt Sir Benjamin was slipping a petal two. And race baseball must, of ne cessity, have a playing manager. In all fairness to all concerned it must be admitted that there is a limit to the physical power of any man, and that after a certain peak is reached an athlete is bound to descend the hill. There is no alternative. We believe that Taylor has reached the peak—as far as Baltimore is concerned and feel that a change of pasture will work good for him and for the team to which he goes, if any. Personally we must sincerely regret, that we see the Black Sox manager shake the dust of Baltimore from his feet. But these facts did sentiment in a business proposition. We believe this week that Taylor had not completed it particularly as to whether he will go to Atlantic City and can do very well. or not. He could not here nor may he make it impossible for him to go. Retire from baseball entirely? Well, not hardly. The diamond urges in the blood of the Taylor family you want to play baseball. It will not will you want it is certain, however, and that it will not be the manager of the Black Sox during the 1929 campaign. "Uncle" Ben, as the fans affectionately dubbed him, will be missed from his usual post. It's just one of those inevitable things that must happen at some time. The play must go on. GETTING THE TIP-OFF at center in a basketball game is worth from eight to ten points or more to the team having a man at center, says Dr. Meanwell, University of Wisconsin basketball coach, in a recent interview. So opposed he the eminent Dr. against the toss-up at center that he has proposed that it be eliminated and points to the recent Wisconsin-Chicago game, won by the former, as an example. The Wisconsin had, with a half, taller than his opponent. center was two and a half. Says Dr. Meanwalt: "I protest as sportsmanlike in this connection any rules I believe which hopefully loosely an otherwise capable, well-coached team because there is not in its line-up an individual of unimaginable light. The advantage of the tip-off at centre 'means less than eight or ten points, and it is an advantage which cannot be overcome by determination, study, skill, fight or team play." be overloaded. Wisconsin coach would substitute for the tip-off a pass from outside the end lines, starting the game in that manner and using the same method after each goal. But the good doctor's opinion agreeable to Dr. James Nalsmith, originator of the offsides of basketball, who is a member of the faculty at the university of Kansas. He is directly opposed to making any changes in the rules that would abolish the center jump. "Why should we take from the game an interesting phase, the center toss-up, and start the game with a pass in from outside the court," he asks. "No other game starts outside the court or field. We begin at the centre." "There is no fairness in limiting or handicapping a team because it happens to have a tall centre. If we do we might as well penalize a 1000 All of which is somewhat similar to the urge to stop the running in football games with fumetti, but the difference is that the players would certainly take a lot of the kick out of basketball games, because the fastest and best-executed plays are built around the securing of the ball immediately after it has been thrown. tossed to imagine "Lanky" Jones unable to leap in the air and bat the ball to "Pinky" or to "Jack" or "Rapp," and then race down beneath the basket to receive it and juggle it thru the net. Breaking to take a kick out of this frolicking. True, it would help the team with a short center, but what we suggest is that these teams go out and drum up some six-footers in the interest, of course, of HIGHER education. G CONGRATS, ROLLO, you WOULD do something like that. Which is just another way of telling you, if you don't already know that Rollo Wilson of the Coast Married since June 29, 1928 to the for- mer. So sports writers can keep secrets after all, eh? Rollo, me lad, welcome, and to Mrs. Rollo we say you've got a big man, and that's no pun. We won't tell you where the newweds are living but when we go to Philadelphia we were going to call around to Apartment A-1 at 763 N. 4th street. G AGAIN ITS THE OFFICIALS, this time those in basketball, of whom we should speak. In more correctness it's the lack of officials of which we prattle. Or more importantly we are advocating that TWO OFFICIALS instead of one be used in basketball games. Contrary to the prevailing belief, it is harder to referee a game on a small court than bert than it isummy, for instance. Players are going to have more contact, particularly in the matter of bunching in corners and with the new rule on the dribble it makes it might be easier to handle the game efficiently. We NEEDDEN and it is well known we out to keep down the squawk. Many times fouls are called when none have been committed due to the fact that the referee, standing a distance away from the players, sees what he thinks HAS BEEN a foul and can call it. He will call it with his foot six inches outside of the sideline. We recommend that in games of importance a second man be used as umpire. The rules really require this, say: "The officials shall be used." The mackensies will be continued use of one official only is in the long run going to cause some embarrassment to some teams--embarrassment that will be more costly than that of paying an extra official. This matter is more serious than it would seem from the surface. ATTEND TO IT NOW. IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING to note while this matter of officials is still in our minds, that of the football officials in the mid- Information reaches this desk that the regular price in the Big Ten is $75, while in the East and on the West it is $85. The many of the best officials getting as high as $200 to $250 for some big games. In case the minimum fee of $100 is paid the official bidder. If the official fee is $150, the official bidder in order to be present. Walter Eckersall, famous University of Chicago star, and for 22 years an official in the Western Conference, said he would not join the movement to get increased fees. He said the officials officiated out of their heads. "If the officials get the idea they are bigger than the sport, they should get that impression out of their heads." We wonder if there aren't some officials of the latter designation in our group? Yes, we wonder. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, our western association of baseball clubs, when they met in Chicago recently, abolished the office of trialing emperor and questioned that the money could be put in a much better purpose. The moguls also denounced the slip-shod methods of handling the publicity of the league, but at the same time denied press representatives admission to the meeting. Little did they realize that in the latter thing they were defeating matters of publicity of the league. The publicity service of any league it is the local papers that put the teams to the front. National League officials erried grievously when they put up the bars. This writer remembers that the same thing was attempted in the East last year, but that he was able to put a stop to it and stall the meetings of the joint sessions of the eastern western baseball men. President Fuehrer was present at that meeting with the greatest of cordiality. We drop this hint to the American League; yet an infant; Don't bar the press in the East.

TRAINER-SAYS NEW YORK—A new side to the character of Tex Rickard was brought out in an interview with Daniel E. Washington, a well known scientific masseur, and one of the most famous athlete trainers of the 1960s, who impressed that Rickard was not friendly to Negroes was not true. Washington, who has been closely in touch with Rickard, has had a opposing ace, the late promoter, for he has served him for over three years as masseur. "Rickard," he said, "was planning to open up the gymnasium. Simon men, and to turn it over to me. This would have placed a Negro as director of one of the largest gymnasiums." "Rickard was especially a good friend of mine," said Washington, "and was a good friend to Negroes in general. He was misunderstood, but know personally that he was interested in the welfare of the race." Mr. and Mrs. Washington received a special invitation from Mrs. Rickard to attend the funeral. Mr. Washington has served some of the leading celebrities, including Gene Tunney, Jack Dempshe and other well known characters. He has been a member of the White Sulphur Springs Baths for over thirteen years. It was through his efforts that boxers were admitted to Grubb's Gymnasium where some leading Negro athletes have trained. He has a valuable aid in Mrs. Washington, who is also a masseur and trained nurse, having received her training in Stockholm. Mrs. Washington treats all women patients. 22 Gridders Get Letters At A. and T.

HAMPTON 'FREEZES' TO BEAT UNION 36-35 HAMPTON 'FREEZES' TO BEAT UNION 36-35 RICHMOND, Va. —Outsured from the floor, but displaying uncanny ability in caging eight of nine foul shots, the Hampton Seasiders nosed out the Va.

McCowan and Cotton were outscored one on one, nominated two field goals each and Carter and Fletcher made a foul basket a piece. Score: Hampton, 36; Union, 26.

With three minutes to play, Ellis had a chance to advance the score he points with the ball. Hampton performed that eternal freeze in order to retain her one point lead.

The first half was easily the best exhibition given in local confines in many a day, the Morganites leading at half time to a victory of nine in the ageing of three, goals by Captain "Lanky" Jones. "Pinky" Clarke, Morgan's ace, was unable to score a field during the contest. "Jack" Spencer was held storeless until the final crushed through with a fancy basket and twice repeated the act before the final whistle. "Rapp" Wheatley, playing a bang-up game at guard, was as many as points on one man on the Texas guild. It is thought that the low score of 9-6 is the lowest to which the Bears have been faced. The visitors drew first blood when "Slim" Archer, former Morcheh College star, tossed one through the net in a windbribing and passing Captain "Bob" Payne, for the Jerseyites, tailed after Captain "Lanky" Jones of the Bears had to pair of freebies through the cords. Work, of the Tuxedo team, was the next player to enter the scoring column when he swished the ball to the crowd in a difficult angle. The crowd was in a frenzy and the Morgan rooters were pleading for the Bears to take the lead. As an answer to their supplication, the team braced a wave of double-deckers that brought the stands to their feet as the locals eased away to a one-point lead. "Rapp" Wheatley stole up the sidelines to help the Jersey toors look out time. Both teams missed a number of good scoring opportunities and the guarding was so close that Archer, the Tuxedo tap-off n. n., was here, there and everywhere, taking shots off the backboard and smearing numerous passes that were "Lanky" Jones a run for his money, while "Kee" Young, former Lincoln luminary and chosen last year, was the first to grab the Morgans forwards to a row of goose-eggs. The half ended 9-2 in Morgan's favor. The Morgan passing attack begin to be bewildered by the "Jack" and "Lanky" scored a duo each before Harry Clarke scored his second and last sensational two-column tally. Lanky, who brought the score, brought his scoring total up to 20 points for the evening's work. "Rapp" Wheatle, with eight points, was his nearest competitor Harry Clarke with the "Pinky".

The A. and T. five staged a comeback in final half and came close to evening the count, but the visitors "froze" the ball and held their slim lead until the end of the game. Robinson, the long lanky hall tosser, was the outstanding performer of the evening, being even more effective for the losers, Streater, offensively a star, while Jewell and Tucker at guard were par excellence. The work of these two guards was so effectively done that the team have been piling up big scores were unable to make a point during the contest. S. C. State Awarded Grid. Championship Of S. I. A. A.

The official must learn that aside from seeing that the game proceeds according to the rules, he is essentially a control in the development of character. Next to the coach, he is doing much towards development of the Negro as an American citizen. A thorough knowledge of the rules is absolutely necessary. Every official in the game should not only know the section governing his position, but he should be able toulate any of the other three positions equally as well. EVERY WORD of the rules must be understood and related. Get a thorough understanding of body section, make reference, explanatory notes in the rule book and repeat the study every week during the season. Make it a routine practice to spend one hour, prior to every game, to briefly refresh yourself on certain points of the game. Here in Washington for many years prior to the organization of the Eastern Board, the officials would meet at the home of Garnet Wilkinson and confer for at least an hour before going on to the convention of the Eastern Officials' Board, every Tuesday evening finds the officials in meeting. They discuss new points, the happenings occurring c. the fields about the country and the precepts of the fundamentals. To many of us who have been in the game long, it is often most amusing as well as occasionally astounding to listen to some of the naive answers made to hypothetical problems by some of our best men after result of our meetings. The past week we have occasioned changes in the wording and punctuation used in the rules book. Coaches Not Always Good Officials It is often felt that coaches are infallible as officials, but it is most interesting to have coaches experience some length, break into a major position as official. I remember one of the best coaches — called by me to referee a high school game. On nearly the first kick-off, a receiver of the kick made — the official charge — and the only penalty was the ball being played from the spot of the pass. Just this season one of our leading coaches as referee messed up a game by blowing his whistle entuity too soon after each play. We would not please coach. Another lead-coach was asked to referee an inter-sectional game of some note a few years ago and his work was frightful. A former player in big league ranks, referee eliminating grime. Had it not been for the work of the under officials the game would have been completely spoiled because this offence apparently did not know the difference between and a touchback. It was honest but not trained as an official, though a splendid player. If some effort were made to collect the errors on the part of officials that have decided games, there would be leading Experience Biggest Factor All officials are going to make mistakes during a career of them. For them, beginning. Decisions most plays are habits on the part of older men whereas the younger man has to think. Some coaches who have not sensed this distinction will stand for almost any role or made by older players were in last year's creation of excellent players. I coach of a former big coach, now retired, in his first year's officiating, allowing an offensive team near the goal line to score twice to no avail because this official was certain that the defensive team was read before he signalled play on. This broke up the offensive team's winning tactics. Another player-official, who has placed a large amount of self praise in the press later actually did not know the line was dead, was dead line, line — other conditions being right, was a touch and this was in one of the largest, games played two years ago. The following part of an article appearing in the New York Sun of December 14, illustrates that we have tried to express it as prevailing in the country; "The 'Big Ten' Conference the following plan is being followed: The men who over a period of years have demonstrated their qualities are assigned and are assigned game games.

It is to be called "A Jabberwock day." It is to be called "a Jabberwock day." It is to be called "a Jabberwock day." To even temperature, it simply means "a Jabberwock day." An affair like this has been started in New York and Philadelphia with a great success. So this sorority thought that such an event here would be out of the ordinary and would help them to win their scholarship fund. They too, dearie, that invitations have already been issued to the various clubs of the A.O.Y.'s for instance, the Aurora Males, Adelshians, Chandellers, Entremors, and Nuns. Just as the D.D.'s and so on, and the club staging the best show on that night will revive from the sorority a misuse of twenty-five dollars. Now, how they are going about it, I'll try and get the dope for next week's writing, but from nothing around, I find the clubs are from enthusiastic over it. Aisley Lindsay Very Weight, Helen Reynolds, Thelma Garland, Vassith Murphy, Ethel Lewis, Vivian Cook, and Constance Murphy are some of the members who are responsible for And, while I think of it, is Albert C Butty claving up his bachelor's quarters. He is now married to a woman, rested his friends at his home, 710 Dublin street, with the understanding, wonder and delight that he now owns who the lucky lady is. Among his guests on that night were the Charles Franklin, Gough, Helen and Charlotte Gough. Ruth Lawson, Dorothy Moore. For the men he had, S. Spencer Mapplett.

And unless they displace it, any food they eat turns into sour bile and gasses, which poison their system. Pape's Diapas dissolves that poisonous acid, sweetens the stomach and makes it easier to digest the sands of people have brought back the appetite of their youth and gained weight simply by chewing one of Pape's Diapas after meals. It does what it promises. That's the reason 5 million packages are used for it.—ask your nearest drugstore for it. them at a reception on Friday night, then on Saturday evening they were honored at another reception given by Mr. and Mrs. George Davis, Hoges avenue and 46th street, at Corona, L. L. Hardly had they time to breathe, for they were special guests at an "at-home" given by Mrs. Maria Dublin at her home, 268 Decatur street, in Brooklyn, N. Y. Having no mercy—entertainments, including dinners and theatre parties by Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Moore, of 109 144th street, N. Y., and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Dewey, filled their social engagement book clear up to Tuesday and Wednesday, while they were the house guests of Mrs. Dublin. Thursday and Friday, Mr. and Mrs. Levy Spriggs, of 2023-N. 13th street, Philadelphia, PA, would dake no excuse and entertained them royally on those two days. They claim they will land in Baltimore Saturday or Sunday, but I doubt, from the number of their friends who still want to do them honor. We heard, Pansy, that Marie's trousseau, from start to finish, is a dream. She has been wearing a different gown for every occasion, and that she and John are like two children, happy as they can be. They say they are coming back soon, but look for them when you see them. Carl Murphy's Birthday Surprise The editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN, has no great taste for social life. Give him his birthday gift, and he is happy and content. Any outside pleasures are mostly gunned and football classics. However on last Thursday, he was happy to have one more year added to his age and his wife remembered it and planned to celebrate it. In walks Mr. Carl for a quiet evening at home and man-like, he noticed nothing unusual. Not even to the beautiful woman he met, he most under his very eyes on his desk. However, after urging him to the living room, he met the man of France Grownbon, Mr. and Mrs. Harry T. Pratt, Mr. and Mrs. D. Arnett Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. D. Arnett Murphy, Frances and Mr. George Murphy, spring out, shouting, "Surprise!!" Of course, he came to him what it was all about. Congratulations and a thank you. He was friends, with Vasht and the children, enjoyed radio concerts, social chat and a most enjoyable menu. Congratulations and a thank you. He was friends, with Vasht and the children, enjoyed radio concerts, social chat and a most enjoyable evening spent. I think I heard that he said he "didn't mind if he had a birthday party," and these were going to turn in please. Xavier Gordon's Lovely Party Xaveria Gordon's Lovely Parly Xaveria Gordon, Pansy, is the sweetest little person you ever want to meet. She just has hosts of friends who are以上，her personal life is always suited with engagement. But back to her delightful bridge party on last Thursday evening at her home, 1413 Myrtle Avenue. She entertained the "Who But Us Club," of which she is a member, and is number of extra guests. The guests were first entertained by beautiful musical selections from the original and well-known time, the hostess announced bridge and the players drew for partners. For a moment everything was in confusion, then a lull, and you could almost hear a plin fall. Played they did, with low scores, then high, but at the end of the game they all did well, yet everybody could not get a prize, as beautiful as they were. The first group of the four that were presented. However, in keeping with the rest of the evening, Xaveria's menu was up to the mark and much enjoyed. While at this pleasant retreat, the highest scores were passed to Nelle Buchanan, who can always think of something funny out of the ordinary and she presented the group with a little sponge. For a lot of the evening, Price and a lovely brass gong: for second club prize, Merrill Grooms was presented a very pretty and attractive silver jewelry box, and for the third club prize, George Trudell Wallace was presented a bracelet, and the other two were stones. For the first group, Sarah Pernardis was given a lovely hand-painted waste basket. The other extra guests there were: Gladys Costley, Mabel Hayes, Alma Rich, Marian Ginn, Lillian Stewart and Nelle Buchanan. Xaveria was truly an adorable hostess. PREACHER CAN'T MAKE YOU HAPPY--ENGLISH "Don't come to church and expect the preacher to make you happy, but get in touch with God before coming in, and then keep in touch with him, the Rev. Walter A. English, pastor of Sharp Street M.E. Church, told his congregation at the Sunday night service. The pastor who preached on Ananias in the book "Who Deceived Himself" declared that there are a great many people today who are like Ananias. We cannot deceive God, he said. Continuing, he pointed out that the church teaches the church today. A lot of them do things for praise and if you don't praise them they never do any more. Ananias like the outside show of goodness. Only can judge people for their sins. God judges hearts, we judge according to our likes or dislikes. English will preach next Sunday on "The Man Who Went With The Crowd."

You know, Exams are in circulation right through here, and every time Ye Editor hears a Deb or Sub-Deb crowling about the Prof. being so strict upon them to keep 'em from peeping, every now and then, mostly now, into the book of the subject upon which they are being examined, it reminds me, up a bulletin which I read about, sometime ago, and which was posted on the beard of an institution of learning in the South by some old square-headed Prof. who had more than likely received a degree for thinking up such ideas. This is the way it read, Headed thusly, EMAMINATIONS BEGIN THIS WEEK ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. CHEATERS NOTICE, PARTICULAR! I.

NO FREEDOM American Negro Must Join In World Movement That the Negro in America will never obtain the status which he desires without the same kind of fight that other groups have made to obtain it. William Abrams, of the Editorial Staff of the New York Daily Freelie, told the Association of College Women, at their meeting Saturday night. Mr. Abrams spoke on Soviet Russia, one of the countries where he lived, after outlining from, first hand knowledge, the elemental factors leading up to the Russian revolution, h. gave a picture of Russia, today under the Soviet's union and the effect the new order is and will have on world civiliza- The speaker declared that economics was at the basis of most major human relations. The real fight of right and wrong centered on rights and other minority groups have long ago realized this and the Negroes in America and other parts of the world must realize it before they even begin to solve their vexing problems. The speaker said, he said, education was reserved for the aristocrats; the status of woman was low and races and minority groups were oppressed. Now education is free to all; women are required to practice as well as theory and there is no racial antagonism. Niger Republic There are many Soviet leaders, declared Mr. Adams, who believe that under the present circumstance, will be the only way of developing enough group consciousness to make them willing to make a real fight for freedom. They are pointed out, most of them living luxurious lives, have little fighting interest in the submerged areas, and have no interest in Lennies or Trotskys willing to shed blood, if necessary, with Negro leaders, and they will suffer as other submerged groups have suffered until they develop leaders of this age. He ureed the workers to join hands with white workers throughout the world to help throw off the snakes of capitalism. Discussion Considerable discussion followed the talk in which members of the Association look issues with white women in question and congratulate others on their rise. Mr. Abrams was introduced by William N. Jones, Managing Editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN, who secured him as speaker by request of officials of the Association. College Women has been studying the social and political status of various countries and the local organization is a branch of the national group with units in the officers of the Association area: President, Miss Camille Levy; Secretary, Miss Hilda Anderson; Assistant Secretary, Missrene Tremaine; Members of the Congresses, Ralph Cook, Vashti Murthu and Irala Davis, Vashti Murthu and Irala Davis, Hostesses were Misses Mac Wright, Hilda Anderson, Fita Burrow, Renee Tremaine, Ruth Delfond, Marinie Diggs, Lula Gee and Mary Goode. tween each two students.

I asked Ms. Maran Brown, someone I met at College, to give her very weak and pale and with a little cough. Her bowels wouldn't act right, she had no appetite and nothing agreed with her. She was very sick, and some California Fig Syrup. It stopped her trouble and made her pick up right away. Now she is robust and healthy. I give her friend I give California Fig Syrup full credit for her wonderful condition. It is a great thing for children." Children like the rich, fruity taste of California Fig Syrup, and you can give it to them as often as they need it, because it is purely vegetable. For children, it is recommended it, and its overwhelming sales record of over four million bottles a year shows it gives satisfactory results, and it is gentle but certain laxative, and it goes further than this. It regulates the stomach and bowels anges tone and strength to these organs, and it acts normally of their own accord. There are many imitations of California Fig Syrup, so look for the name "California" on the carton to be sure you get the genuine.

First, it is because the public demand intelligent and high class service. "Second, because practically all of the duties in the hotel have hereofore been discharged by uneducated colleagues of our group. "Third because we do not have any hotel training schools and members of our group are not admitted to white hotel training schools. "Fourth, because our universities and colleges do not teach hotel administration. "This, however, is the whole cause of members of our race being replaced by whites in the hotel business. To the readers of the AFRO who are interested in the hotel business, some of the things I do daily to compete with the white hotel briber and meet with the most powerful men. We readily realize that is the trained men who are in great demand by hotel promoters. Urges University Courses "At a meeting of the Michigan hotel association in Detroit in September, H. William Killan, chairman of the committee, prefaced his report, with the statement that the committee had accomplished something that will prove one of the most interesting experiments—The Hotel administration course to be taught in Michigan State College this fall. "I will venture to say that the hotel administration course added to the curriculum of our colleges is the most important course in our training. The other phase of employee training is one, however, that I believe can be brought about in the near future; that is, establishment of facilities, establishment and state colleges whereby visiting members of faculties can give lectures and quizzes to groups who are anxious to take special work under such direction. We hope that readers of your paper will be interested and that heads of our colleges cooperate with hotel executives in an effort to them in collecting data in regards to the hotel administration course.

George, it appears, has had the O. of New York stamped upon him and in consequence, on his return home with foreign laurels, was accorded a double order of enthusiasm and applaud. George had finished his songs the screen was dropped for "Wings" to make its appearance, but he did not return him. So up went the screen and back came George to "stretch out" on another number. It got so good to the audience in that particular, that she yelled out just as though she were in an amen corner at a revival, "Do it Mr. George."

When he knew his time was over, he would lead one to believe he was not only an actor but a scholar. But, in the past when I have seen him now in the present when I think of him, I always think of him as the man standing on Fenwick Howard ground, in him that he liked the play he was in but what he really wanted was a play "wrote around" him. At once his stock went down, and he did not even gain enjoy his acting. The other day in a meeting I heard a local minister of the gospel praised by his fellow members in handling a certain proposition.

The list next Christmas is already overloaded and the only way to take care the situation is to double up Easter. The rules and regulations governing the New Provident Hospital seem to be particularly irksome to some people. They require them to talk about taxpayers, contributors, aid, our rights, we, not right, race physicians, and lots of other things. The place was located on Biddle street and finance was as uncertain as the collection of rent. Nobody at that time knew what the physicians, even thought about the matter and it can be said with a great deal of truth that many of them knocked" the new proposition, and that they could neither run it nor dictate the policy. As far as can be found out, the physicians support from the public nor will they, it seems to me if they are what they say they are and have unlimited means, which I know they have not, that they lay it down and get from around it and take it and start another hospital for themselves where they can and out as much as they please. I understand Provident is already chock-a-block with people and any situations in which he will not be looked upon as opposition by the authorities of that institution.

Eight and one half years have passed. But my heart is still the same; Many a silent tear has fallen. At the mention of your name. You left behind a broken heart, That loved you so sincere; That never did and never will Forget you, Zelda, dear. God called you home, it was His will. But in my heart I love you still; You memory is as dear today. As the hour you passed away. Some may think that I’ve forgotten you. Though on earth you are no more; If tears could only bring you back. You would have been here long ago. By her loving father, STEPHEN EDWARDS.

Sad and dear was the call. Of one so dear and loved by all; His loving heart had ceased to beat Before we knew it h 's gone. A bitter grief, a shock severe, To part with one we loved so dear, God loved him too and thought it lost. So He took him home to eternal rest. But only those who loved him best Can tell the heartache of not say- ing a last farewell. BY THE FAMILY.

Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life is fled; Thee in heaven with joy to greet thee. Where no farewell tear is shed. By her husband, CYRUS GIB- SON.

Monument street. "Physicians who insult and refuse patients at their private office should not be permitted to attend them. Provident Hospital said Young said that he sent one of his patients needing special eye treatment to the Friedenwald office o; Eutaw Place after an appointment had been made with the eye specialist. Wrong Place Dr. Friedenwald's secretary, Dr. Young said, first discouraged the patient by asking her if she had gotten into the wrong place. Informed that she had appointed the secretary declared there must be a mistake, because the doctor charges $10 for examining eyes. When assured that the patient was able to pay, the secretary then informed her that the doctor did not treat her, except at the necessary at 2 P. M., when treatment would be free. Dr. Young Angry The patient refused, reported to Dr. Young, who over the telephone asked the Friedenwald secretary why the specialist had refused treatment after the appointment had been made. Dr. Young said the secretary informed him that he should have told her that the patient was colored. "I treat colored, white or any other race that needs medical attention." Dr. Young replied, "if your office draws the color line it is up to you to ask if the patients are white or colored." Subsequently, Dr. Young refused Dr. Friedenwald's request to send the patient back for treatment. CAREY Warey Street E. DUVALL, Manager WINNING MONDAY, JANUARY 28th IS X.

COHAN WOMEN OUTLIVE MEN SAYS HOME FRIENDLY White Death Rate After 65 Higher Than The Colored SOUTH IS HEALTHIER Chinese Have Difficulty In Getting Insurance At All United States abridged life tables show that the expectancy of life among Negroes after the age of 65 is larger than whites, M. Taylor, statistician of the Home Friendly Insurance Company, told the AFRO-AMERI- CAN, this week. The tables show, he declared, that there are more colored people near the century mark than white. The death rate among colored people is larger between birth and 65 years of age than white. Females among both races live longer than males in either race. The tables show that colored people in the south live longer than those in the north. Tropical conditions are said to be responsible for this. Chinese have the largest death rate of any race. But few companies, will Insure a Chinese and the insurance, premium is usually high and the policy small. The price for an annuity is higher for females of both races than for males.
