Court Termed "Jim Crow" Car Bill Useless A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL CREOMULSION MARYLAND HAS OUTGROWN JIM CROW RAILROAD By T. J CALLOWAY ANNAPOLIS, (Afro Bureau)—"If it is necessary for the comfort and safety of the passengers, and especially for the preservation of order, in portions of the State where the two races are anything like equally divided in numbers, or the feeling between the races is such as to make it desirable to keep them separated, the carriers themselves have full authority to do so." The above is the language of the Court of Appeals of Maryland as rendered in the Hearing in Washington, D.C. against the State of Maryland, as reported in the Maryland Reports page 555, volume 100. Sitting in the case there was a full jury convicted of the murder of McHerry, Page Pearce, Power, Boyd, Jones, Briscoe and Schmucker, representing every section of the State and the City of Baltimore. The opinion was Unnecessary By the language quoted the Court showed that the acts of 1904, commonly designated the "Jim Crow Car Laws," while the acts of the Legislature to enact them, nevertheless, wholly unnecessary and useless. The bill now before the Legislature, introduced by Senator William G. Gurley, with the common sense inference from the highest court of the State. The 25 years since the acts were passed the laws have been the Court of Appeals. In many cases the laws have been ignored, but in other cases the mischievous effect has been to burden the equipment not actually needed for traffic. Either two cars have been used where one would have been sufficient, thus decreasing the annual cost of equipment and old worn cars are kept in service when a single modern car would have been more satisfactory to passengers. But the major c sections to the "Jim Crow Car Laws" is that all people of the white people do not want any such restrictions upon travel. The people have a liberty loving people, asking and granting fair play and play, do not believe that individual liberty is worth hire.

The House passed a bill providing an appropriation of $600,000 for the first year for the further development of vocational education in rural communities. This sum is to be increased by $500,000 each year until the appropriation reaches $6,000,000, and then it is to be a permanent amount and appropriation added to the Smith-Hughs fund and shall be used for the salaries of teachers of agriculture subjects.

Kittrell Prexy Wants $7,000 North Carolina Frowns Upon 8 Month School Term KITTLEL, N. C.—President George A. Edwards, who widened his reputation some years from Kittrell College, and who had his resignation accepted by the trustees and his successor appointed, is still holding the position of his 69th chair. The conditions of his resignation was that the college should pay him $7,000, which it owes him on some various obligations, and secure the release of his name, some $13,000 in which he endorsed to the credit of the col- D. K. Chervy, formerly of the faculty of the State College at Greenboro, will not take charge of the school until ex-President Edwards. Experts point out that it is an unusual situation in which the college permits itself to be healed a degree to its executive officer. Danger lies in the fact that an unscrupulous (executive might) own the college after a short term in office. Bishop A. L. Gaines, of the dole, said that trustees expected to pay Mr. Edwards the $7,000 in a very short while. PROPOSED BILL GIVES D. C. TEACHERS ALARM Chairman Henry C. Gilligan, of the Legislation Committee of the Board of Education has been asked by the board to take charge of the fight to eliminate the provision included in the appropriation bill which specifies that the normal school graduates bets shall have preference when appointments of teachers are made. The act of 1873 authorizing the establishment of a normal school gave the Board of Education jurisdiction over regulations for the organization and government of the school and it provided that the preference in all cases when appointments of teachers for public schools shall be made. Grand Master Of Masons Buried Grand Master Of Masons Buried WASHINGTON, D. C.-Charles P. Ford, grand master of Masons of the Dumfries, and attorney at law, died Wednesday night at Freedmen's Hospital. Mr. Ford had been ill but awake time. He was elected grand master in this jurisdiction in 1923 and was serving town in this high office. The resumption of the work on the new masonic building, West Street, was mainly due to his effort and the completion of the nesday night at Freedman's Hospital. Mr. Ford had been ill but a short time. His master in master in this jurisdiction in 1923 and was serving his sixth term in this high sumption of the work on the new masonic building, at Tenth and You due to his effort and the completion of the work bore heavily on his mind as physical strength. He is survived by his widow, Lillian Ford, his sisters, Mrs. Marry Murray and Murray of Houston, Tex.; Mrs. Eloise Miller, of New Orleans; Mrs. Mary Dempsey, of New Orleans; Mrs. Albert Ford, of Alexandria, La., and Albert Ford, of East Chicago, Ind.

AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Two Months Treatment $2.00 STUDENTS' MAIL CENSORED AT GIBBONS INST. Mrs. Daniel In Reply To John P. Davis Tells Reasons For Strict Rules COLOR OF PAJAMAS NOT IMPORTANT School Heads More Con- cerned To Have Pupils Wear Some Night Clothes By CONSTANCE E. H. DANIEL "Old King Cole Was a merry old soul, And a merry old soul was he, He called for his pipe And he called for his bowl And he called for his fiddlers, three." Presumably, Old King Cole paid for his fiddlers. That, it may be said, is considerably more than the exponents of students' rights are doing. It is a comparatively easy matter to arrive on the front face. If a person is not able to date profanity, a cigarette held at a rakish angle and a supercilious attitude toward religion is qui' sufficient to achieve the desired effect. For men seems to be scouting at the "old guard," who have nothing to recommend them other than a few decades of experience in resisting hesitancy in welcoming the 1929 sport model of would-be representatives of the group, with open arms. I belong neither to the old guard, nor to the vintage of 1929. I do claim, however, to know enough of the quiet, courageous and many times successful athletes, of the "old guard," made without the accompaniment of brass bands, to have a wholesome disgust for the loudness of their knowledge, and their offensively expressed opinions, who seem to think it a breach of etiquette to say a word of appreciation or respect those who blazed the trail for them. Watson's Cartoons The second of the four cartoons of Fred Watson, in the AFRO-AMERICAN ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD's practice of inspecting the mall of young women students. Our school here is a small school and a new school. It might be of interest to the new group of students, but it might be behind the making of rules. Being far from new in the school business, either as pupils or as teachers, sympatriizing with the desire to collect a list of students gone bad, with or without "too much supervision," the local management of this embryo institution, announced on the day it opened, without rules, but that whenever a student's conduit made a rule imperative to safeguard the interests of either the student or the school, at once that rule would be It is clear, therefore, that we are not handicapped. h rules ten, twenty or thirty years old. In other words we have no "antique regulations." Yet, among our graduates one person is the inspector of incoming mail, but the inspection of out-going mail, from young women students. Indecent Letters Let us return to Cartoon No. 2. In our files is a batch of letters received by a Baltimore girl during the first four months of her Institute's training. Having no particular reason for requiring the opening of mail, we did not open mail. This particular girl, however, received so much mail in the handwriting of her parents, and seemed so lacking in interest in her work, that we wrote to her parents for permission to confiscate and inspect this voluminous correspondence. The contents of some of these letters should be printed with as much publicity as Cartoon No. 2. The AFRO would lose its reputation for being a clean paper, without further a Frowns Upon school Term ALEIGH, N. C.—The General Assembly held up the McLean bill requiring a state-wide eight month state superintendent of public instruction, Dr. R. T. Allen, admitted that the extension to eight months would allow the McLean bill while 70 per cent of the colored pupils would benefit. The McLean proposal, which of course, has unified administration backing, is a above the minimum for intentional and limit the ad valorem rate for schools to forty cents, depending on a State equalizing fund of between nine and ten cents necessary for a state-wide eight months' term. Governor McLean also proposes a state and expenditures, a plan he estimates would save about a million annually over present costs, reducing the educational unit now in the state from one thousand districts to o. 1 hundred.

Bad Eggs In School Parents anxious to place their bad eggs where the odor will attract the least possible attention, in usually try a school which they believe is hunting for numbers with which to pad its enrollment. Some such parents made the unfortunate mistake of choosing this infant school for the supermarket. A 1928 arose-jointed, disheveled young woman from Atlantic City arrived on the boat from Baltimore. As she arrived at three in the morning, we gave her a bed and her to go to sleep. So far good. At ten A. M., whilo I was standing in the corridor, speaking with the Reverend Blank, a priest. We presented me with a letter buky enough: to be a magazine article. It was not, however, addressed to the editor of a magazine. It was addressed to some unknown man — at Light Street After our first experience we made the ruling that all girls' misbehavior was allowed, only after inspection by the matron, who happened to be myself. Therefore, I requested this second girl to be inspected for her own after it was inspected. She never returned. Students' Clothing The fourth cartoon deals with regulations on students' clothing. Relative to Carton No. 4, a few words will be quite as easy as personal experience, ease sure that what the school's priorities are is not to determine whether a student will render palatias...but WHETHER HE SLEEPS IN ANY. It might have interested some of our super-critics to marry the girl assigned to me for inspection as a young teacher, and to have discovered that not all girls go through the formality of school night cloorts. This was a Tuskegee. At Harvard It might have still further interested these people whose name is "Lionet" to know, with regard to offdish -s.d nXXX schools, that my better half had the great pleasure of teaching a colored graduate of the University of Illinois how to sleep between two sheets, younger, dressed in a great pleasant frost, dropping by the great dining hall at Harvard College, and watching the students rough-house with the food, dishes and cuisines inside, so they could dormitories, with the Harvard students camped, would have brought out the Health Squid if not the Reel and Hose, in any other case, these students would be the of the "Self-development" the "Lionet" would like to see embodied in Negro schools. I play cards. (Any partners reading this are requested to maintain a strict silence.) However, when I am on hand, without fear of a law-suit, Negro schools in which card-playing has led to gambling, yes, promiscuous gambling. We hope not to hear in rebuttal that *Chinese* budding is essential to perfect freedom. Undoubtedly there are many weaknesses in the many rules necessitated in the long roll of colored schools in the past. (For example, of justice (?)). Some of the schools thus arraigned I know intimately. Others I do not know at all. However, since from an evident many of Mr. Davis' critics are both superficial and unwarranted, there is no good reason to suppose that a similar proportion, concerning the schools known to me not are equally lacking Inferiority Complex "that I am about t. say next may call for a preface. This is the preface. I was brought up among white people. Most of my playmates were white children from among the families of the Harvard professors. In matters of refinement and culture, their homes were in no instance superior to my own. In any cases I had a feeling that certain homes were distinctly not up to scratch. To make a long in-ter short, I know the inferiority complex only from the outside looking in. No one develops homicidal tendencies any quicker than I when some misguided Caucasian begins prating about "You people" or, worse yet, when some parvenu whose only recommendation is a recently acquired ability to patronize, begins to flaunt his ideas (or lack of them) on Negro education. My maternal grandparent, "James Hazard, of Rhode Island, maintained residence in two stat-s (Rhode Island and Massachusetts), sent his children to private schools, and spent freely of his modest fortune, in an effort to stamp out prejudice. This is my bill of health." What Whites Do Now. We cry loud and long about freedom. How much independence do we possess? The third definition of independence defined by the lat. edition of Websters's Dictionary, is, "Not subject to bias or influence," So? Then why do we not have to persistere every complaint with "The white schools are doing?" Why cry "independence" and then run around to catch every undesirable habit, to catch every undesirable habit, with which the young white group has burdened itself? Independence! This Legitimate group has not even undertaken Independence to make dispassionate study of the needs of its own group. It had rather prattle on hard ideas for twenty years, than to think for five minutes. We speak of disliking prejudice, and flippantly insignify every white man and woman in the category of Suspicious Characters. Walter White We want "freedom." Yes, men and women, we want to be perfectly free. We want to please Away with these women preceptresses, ruining all our young men. Just see Walter White of the show "The Walking Dead" though? And all due no doubt to that wretched old white woman, Elizabeth Pingree at Atlanta University, former President of the National Negro Educational Association. The cause of his ruined life is also Miss Elizabeth Pingree, more skeletons out of this poor woman. Once "Underworld Queen" Evicted As "Down And Outer" A. E. CHARLESTON, W. Va. — T.

I know and they know and we all know, that when ten or even twenty people might possibly assume intelligent direction of their own activities, including eating, sleeping and social contacts while in school, the other eight or ninety per cent ARE NOT READY to do so care or do care.

And the end of a few years at the end of a few years of the awful persecution to which they were subjected, come out quietly man-made, self-possessed young men. What right did anyone have to tell them to eat *a* or about what to converse, or what colors to wear? Or them down at clean tables, with good linen and good food, when they had a perfect right to go around to the table with a cup of questionable coffee and unifying company? Religious Twaddle Am. were tired of this twaddle about religion. Religion indeed! Forget it! We are modern. This is the twentieth century. What right do you have to not want it. They may not want it. They have a right not to be proselytized. (But say, be sure you apply to the yer. for that job before you graduate.) They may not want it. IS one form of proselytizing, but well, er. got to have a job you know!) But to return to this independence, as I said, We are blase; we are world-wear. We are not to mention Menken. We don't give a hang about anything. We're going straight to the devil, howny. That is what all the college students have to fall for it too. We have once and for all, we demand the right to put on our fetters. You said. "Did we pay for our fetters? Well. er..a. no. Someone is paying for them just at present. Independence Listen, friends, assuming that all the schools are guilty as charged this week, and all the colored leaders ready for the crash can be in danger by the brains of "independence" about which all of us want to hear more is this: Independence that has courage enough to be grateful for help rendered by black people or by white people. Independence that can maintain and demand respect WITHOUT going around with one eye cooked sidewise and a chip on its shoulder. Independence enough to eschew harmful experiments and do its own thinking. Independence enough to respect the religion that brought every last drop of blood, out of the Land of Bondage. INDEPENDENCE ENOUGH TO PAY THE FIDDLER FIRST. AND THE AFTERWARDS! Cardinal Gibbons Institute, Ridge, Maryland. ST. LOUIS, Mo., (ANP.) — Fifteen years ago Mrs. Bettie Ray was a "queen" in the underworld of St. Louis. She was a dominant and familiar figure in a Lucas avenue neighborhood, where she conducted a resort strictly for white men. It was durability, and correlative influence, in other cities was sufficient enough for her to secure from those places women who could prey upon men who frequented her den of debauchery, and cunning girls. Bettie was able to establish for herself police protection, also financial prestige. Eight rooms of household furnishings and other effects, property of Ray, were occupied in the dwelling occupied at 3370 Lucas Avenue by Constables Clarence Fleming and Charles Wendell of the Fourth District, and placed on the sidewalk last Thursday, because she paid $150 — three months' back rent. The constables encountered difficulty in discharging their official duty. Wendell stated that it was necessary to abuse and cursing from the lips of the Mrs. Ray, in order to dispose the house of a bed suite that she inadvertently left behind. Each coursewould be accompanied. Wendell said, with books that Bettie hurled at his head. The scene created quite an exultate "in the neighborhood and was witnessed by a constable that discharged to see Bettie's "house" dismantled. SUPREME COURT OF W. VA. HITS J. C. LIBRARY CHARLESTON, W. VA. —The right of Negroes to joint use with white citizens of the Charleston public library was reaffirmed by the state supreme court Tuesday in denying a petition of the Charleston Independent School District for a re-hearing of the case. Judge Haymond Maxwell filed a concurring opinion on the petition of the Charleston Independent School District of Judge M. O. Litz, which held that "the governing body of a public library may not exclude persons therefrom on account of their color, race or previous condition of The school board set up two grounds for its action in providing separate offices of Charleston. The Negroes in their court action charged discrimination contending that the library provided for them did not contain the variety of volumes that was available to them. The school board denied them access, and even if the branch library had the same number of volumes and was equipped as well as the Charleston public library the Board and community (¹) excluded them from the same. The school board contended that authority to separate the library was given since it was part of the school system, and if it was not, the authority to separate the library was provided under police regulations. Like Judge Litz, Judge Maxwell drew a distinction between a "public library" and a "school library," holding there was not a separate law to indict the school library was that the phrase "public library" has a definite and well understood meaning. He also held that the separation was not authorized on the basis of the power of the state. This suit was brought and financed by the Charleston Branch of the National Association of Pollution People in the management of Anderson H. Brown, a wealthy real estate dealer. E. L. Powell, State Manager of the Supreme Casualty Company, and W. W. Sanders, State Attorney, whom are members of the Executive Committee of the Association. The Association and the plaintiff were represented by Attorney G. B. Mutton, President of C. E. Kimbrough, race attorney of Charlotte. Decision Unusual Mr. Nutter referred to Judge Maxwell's decision as unusual, for reheating the court very seldom renders a written opinion, merely marking them either granted or refused."

The oldest person to be issued a marriage license this week was Mr. Rachel Payne, sixty years old. of 323 Otterbain street, to wed her better half, James H. Johnson, widower, 55 years old. It made little difference to the white naver to hand to the parson as a proof of law abiding rule to unite them as one. She got to the office first, it seemed, received the white filled out sheet and was soon happily married for better of her. Miss Anna M James, 17, the youngest person on the marriage list this week, received the consent of her parents and was married to her noble knight, who paid down $2.00 at the office to claim her.

There was silence among 500 diners when Clinton Sowers, white, a member of the State Legislature, and members of honors, included them for what he termed a course of non-resistance. Mr. Sowers said this was an old Quaker doctrine which had been inculcated in him by his mother and assister, and was a part of his policy, which would everfall, win out. Sowers, likewise, stressed the fact that the Negro thought too much in terms of colored and white and that he had a kind of mind and think of colored and white folks alike as Americans and men. Judge Henry Replies Judge Edward Henry, of the Municipal bench, fidgeted in his chair during the debate when called upon to speak, Judge Henry stated that non-resistance was the evil which produced the present segregation in Philadelphia; which gave power to legislators and kept colorled legislators out of Pittsburgh. The jurist applauded the efforts on the part of Hart and Fuller to prevent the spread of the depolarizeable stem cell virus wiromania. He likened them to watchdogs. Then turning to Mr. Sowers he said, that Quakers were willing to work for the Negro but not to kill him with him. An a parting shot he said he was quite sure Mr. Sowers was a Quaker. James Stevens, who followed the judge, tried to stop the audience. Messrs. Hart and Fuller also attempted to say a word to appease the feelings of their colleague. **Red Cross Employs 45,000** **WASHINGTON, D. C.**—(AN P.)

Amendment Aimed At, Des Priest Will Be Snowed Under February 6th. WOULD AVOID TROUBLE Insult to DePriest Will Be Resented by Voters At Home WASHINGTON, D. C.—(Special)—The constitution of the Congressional Club is not likely to be changed at the meeting February 6th. Some members of the club considered the change which would permit the blackballing of an applicant. This would have enabled southern members of the club to bar the wife of DePriest, the president of the DePriest, congressman-elect from Chicago, on account of their color. Some Southerners have said they will resign unless the color line is drawn. In general, however, members of the club who are the wives of congressmen, senators, and supreme court justices and the smallest body that the organization must continue to be a rea. congressional club and not an aristocracy ruled by a small clique. They do not want a new construction of baskets which would permit blackballing. Result Would Be Sent At Home Members of the openly offered to Oscar DePriest would be resented by the colored voters back at home. There has been no colored member in the office, and at that time the Congressional Club had not been chartered, so it has never faced the color problem before. Oscar DePriest will have his office in the office Building. There isn't any question about that. Any congressman who doesn't want to have an office next to him will have to move. Well, without doubt, use the House rest room. The last colored member of the House, Congressman Geo. White, of North Carolina, who left in 1980, ate in the office, and whether any objection was made, if there was any objection, certainly Mr. White didn't care. Representative DePriest and his father, who was the Congressional reception at the White House as a matter of course, and there will be other official functions where his position will take him Even if the members of the Congressional Club find it possible to draw the color line, they will not have hundred and one official functions.

There is a solution, and it can be more only placing the blind in the hands of the industrial work from whence they came. If the blind are to exist, they should be given a chance to prove to the general public that they are not blind, without eyes as with them.

Polley Declares He Visited Such A Place For Observation RAPS CHURCH GRAFT Says Inquiry Into Finance Means A Big Fight "A number of the members of loc.1 churches who noose as dev- out saints on Sunday, frequent 'numbers' establishments durin- the week," said the Rev. J. H. Polley, at. Mt. Horam Baptist Church, Sunday. "I speak not from hearsey," but from actual observation, for I visited such a place recently, disguise.I and unrecognized, and to my horror I watched men and women and chil- dren making beds." The minister spoke from 2 Timothy, 1:6, and his subject was, "A good fight." The trend of his argument was that few, if any of the could review our past with absolute satisfaction, and took to task "floaters" and "turn-tables" as he spoke. "For a Christian to testify that he or she is as strong today spiritually as ten or twenty years ago means nothing, for Christianity, like Nature progresses or dies. God plants the seed in our starts but unless we do our part of the tilling, it will surely die from undernourishment." "Fighting a good fight frequently leads to a free-for-all fight in the church, especially 1. you begin to inquire as to how he money is been spent and to whom it may not be the church members were as earnest and a careful in ascertaining expe-deditures as in all the collection piates the cause of Christianity would be advanced although it would border on a revolution." The minister in his respects, those who profess to be "turned all around," "Yes," he shouted, "that's the trouble now, you have turned all around like locomotive turnable and you are right back facing the things you profess to have left."

M. E. MINISTERS FIND DEVIL IS GAINING Is Winning In War With Church, Speaker Tells Preachers Meeting PROTEST TO BOARD Want Church Body To Act On Mob Violence The Devil is winning the war against the church militant, according to speeches in a discussion at the M. E. Ministers' Meeting, Wednesday. The discussion, which was one of the most spirited in the history of the meeting, was provoked by a paper by the Rev. W. A. "English on "Is The Church A Failure?" In his paper the Rev. Mr. English set forth a kind of balance sheet in which failure, and of the modern churches were outlined. Rev. J. W. Warren in his comment expressed the opinion that the devil at times seemed to be gaining the ascendance. He noted the great difference in the dance, halls and other plaers of amusement and vice; and he was not so sure the devil was not putting the devil in charge that he wanted the reader to differentiate between church religion and Christians. Church Losing Ground Rev. C. E. Queen felt that the scholars and educational institutions were getting away, from the church and that Christians were not as attentive. When asked to explain just what he meant by church, Rev. M. J. Navarl said, "the church; the visible embodiment of earth." Want Board To Act Attention was also called to the fact that some weeks ago a delegation made up of the Baltimore and North Carolina headed by Dr. Ernest Lynn, presented a petition to the Board of Temperance. Prohibition and Public Morals of the Maryland church asking the devil to active harm and abolition of mob violence and lynchings. This committee called attention to the fact that while the board had centered its activities on prohibition and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a new building that was carried itself directly with one of America's great shames.

Harold Stepteau, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, preaching on the theme, "Salvation," told his congregation Sunday morning that the matter of unholy relationship is the main reason for the increasing coldness in our churches. The Rev.

'He permits his selfishness to make him leave out those elements of God.' Attacking the scientific theory that the moon is cold and will be like the moon a million years hence, the Rev. Stepteau presented the Biblical version that declares the earth is cold, and righteous shall inherit the earth. "There is a redeeming feature in every man, no matter how his sins may be," concluded the minister, if not, Jesus would not have died.

"Do white men make such excellent husbands?" Precautions "It is unnatural good if I were to marry a colored man I'd take precautions. My colored fames would have to court me for a long time.

Calloway, who registered with the Secretary of State at Annapolis recently, is the first Maryland lobbyist among our group. He represents the Nergo-Welfare Association, a state-wide volunteer group interested in the repeal of the jim crow car law and the equalization of rural teachers' salaries. There has long been dissatisfaction with Maryland's separate car law, the poor salaries to colored rural teachers but this agitation has usually frittered itself away in mass meetings and delegations to the Governor and Legisla- The Maryland Interracial Commission, the only such state authorized body in the United States, is another result of such agitation, on the part of those who felt that upstanding white persons could be found in Maryland willing to join for fair play. Governor Ritchie presented the Interracial Commission's report to the Legislature on Tuesday without recommendation. In principle, the Commission's report is what the Association fully stands for, and the placing of a lobbyist in Annapolis is a confession on the part of the Association that the report must not only be sent to the Legislature, but the attention of its members personally invited to it. Missouri Parent-Teacher Association announced last week a fund of $1,000 for "bobying of remedial legislation concerning New Education in Missouri." Negotiateapolis has a score of other lobbyists in addition to Mr. Calloway, who are urging the Legislature to pass measures in which they are interested. Were there colored representatives in the Maryland Legislature, they should be expected to take the lead in fathering the needed legislation. In the absence of such representation, the territorial Commission must depend upon the good will of those legislators whose interests are not With Governor Ritchie's okay, the Jim crow repeal bill would go thru without debate. With the aid of State Superintendent Albert Cook, the teachers' salary bill would also pass with flags flying. Both bills failed in the last Legislature two years ago. Their failure again this year would be a state reflection upon the state and its administrations. instruments. Lobbying may help. Certainly it's worth the time. Back to Her White Folks Alisa Martin, illiterate 16 year old South Carolina girl, threw up a chance to go to school and learn a trade, to go back to her mother folks, Mr. and Mrs. Therm Allen of Little Falls, N. Don't blame Alsie. She was given to the Alens at the age of two and the had all been taken to the best she could. Mrs. Jenile Martin, the girl's mother, never had a chance for an education herself. Her nose has always been on the economic grindstone. It is difficult to find fault with her. Well how about the Allens? They have five children and are sending them to school. But Alsie you know, she's colored. Sure. Alsie cannot count 8 and 1. She cannot read THE when she sees it. Even if she could read, write and count, she wouldn't be any happier wrestler with the Allens' pans and pans, tidying the Allens' house and getting the children to school. That what she's been doing all her life, and she can't imagine anything, also. the heresy dung she blame the *Allens* for holding on to a life-time slave in such a manner? The day Alse goes, to school and likes it, that minute the Alse begins to lose a "good servant." She would want her $2 a day and Thursdays and Sundays off. She'd live home and be late sometimes. So nobody can be blamed, except it be the state of South Carolina, where the Aliens lived with Alisia before coming to New Jersey two years ago. South Carolina has no compulsory law, but the state has passed such a bill and Governor Richard vetoed it on the ground that there were already more, colored schools than white in his state.

To the Editor: A cracker has taken charge of the nurses at Henryton, and if the condition is allowed to exist, Henry will surely go back to where it formerly was before the able hands of the good physicist O'Neill brought it to a place in the public eye. This woman is overbearing. She has flatly refused to give the nurses their title of Miss to their names. Six nurses have left the institution once more. The nurses are graduate nurses, registered nurses. The patients are against this woman's conduct. She should be asked to resign and be compelled to do so for the future of the sanatorium and the good name of Dr. J. O'Neill and place them in the hands of nurses they had. Will he then be a fit place to go. A list of nurses who have left are: G. Jupiter and I. Miller, registered nurses and college graduates; M. Wynn and M. Brown, graduate nurses and college graduates; M. Thompson, M. Swann and M. Rogers, student nurses.

CHARLES WILLIAMS, Lakewood, N. J. An Eastern Shore Reader Gives His Reasons For Opposing Amalgamation. — History Does Not Show There. Five Inhabited The Saw Mill Without Mixing. To the Editor: Industrial training, the key-note of Booker T. Washington's philosophy is the mainspring of the Negro's social, industrial and political better-educated. The trouble is, a few are trying to get social, industrial and political recognition. They fail, which is inevitable until the whole group is able to gain their social and solemn gainful occupation. To be able to turn over a few thousand of well-trained artisans in any vocation will win untold recognition for the Negro. The leaders try to get them to become a common-brother. Their failure and selflessness lead them to air their displeasures in the press, and discuss impractical subjects us Amalgamation by marriage. This is too far-fetched. First, there must be legal sanction. Second, there must be a general feeling of approval. Admiration, affection, love and courtship must take the place of prejudice, which is second nature before marriage can become the real and solemn culmination it should be. Then, who wants it anyway? Only those students of shadows: if they only bend their energy and literary skills, they will surely our whole brother would be more encouraged to give them a place in the "sum." It is really a big joke to see and hear these students trying to find a way to amalgamate when in fact, they should be trying to a way to educate. They, with their eloquence, should be trying to encourage state departments to establish vocational schools in the rural districts. schools. The gentleman who passed for white has no message for the ten million Negroes. His life and the history thereof is but a phantasmagoria he realized to one one save himself. J.

Dr. Motion Does Not Speak For New Jersey Says C. Blon Jones, Quoting Will Rogers' Joke In Sunday Paper. To the Editor: (Extract from New York Herald Tribune, of Sunday, January 27, 1929) Will Rogers quotes Alabama Negro educator's views of Southern Democracy revolt as a "White Folk' fight." Last spring, traveling down in Alabama, I had a chance to go by the great Negro school, "The Negro School," and had great time there. He heard eighteen hundred trained voles sing Negro spirituals, AND HOW! Why it's the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, the best, beautiful ground, why it's bigger than Harvard, and got a better football team. Well, there is a great fellow runs it, Dr. Moton. He has had it ever so long, and he was the best of them, adapted, adapted, before that. Well, he is a great fellow, he was in to see me here yesterday. He had just come from Wash. State and had to go to Ridge, and one with the next batter. He told Mr. Coolidge a story and he said the President taught him about Negroes, and were talking about how Negroes had kinder stayed out of the last election, that is as a race. Calls It White Folks' Row "A white man bought a pig from an old Negro, Jim Davis, took him home. The sheat, got out and went back home. The pig was hauling him home when he met the first buyer, who saw the pig and recognizing him, asked about him and found they had both bought him. They went back to have "Yes sir, gentlemen, you both bought him, but do you know I has always heard that you white fellows is so much smarter than us niggers you a you ought to be more smart enough to offend and the matter among yourselves without coming and axing a poor old ignorant nigger to help you out." "And that's the way Dr. Moton told Mr. Coolidge they did during the late Republican uprising. Let the white folks fight it out among themselves. It seems absurd that a man of Dr. Moton's type would so far forget himself to take time to talk thus. Our struggle is hard enough without those whom we consider leaders to be making minstrels of the rest. C. BION JONES President, Colored Men's Republican Club of Hudson County, N. J. New York Victim Of Antique College Rules Suggests Organization of National Negro Ousting Assets Headed By John P. Davis And Louis K. McMilla To the Editor: Please allow me to pay my respects to Mr. John Davis for his very timely, interesting and fact-filled article from which you quoted in the issue. The only criticism I feel disposed to offer is that he did not hit hard and long enough. am a victim of that southern "orgy," to the extent that I was from high school and col- south Carolina. The high school is in every way up to the southern standard, both socially and academically. Everything mentioned by Mr. Davis is in vogue except "opening the mail and prescribing men's underwear," but one way to change things and that is through the Race press. The Negro students have struck and complained and begged their oppressors to burden, but nothin' of that effect. "The *Massa John*" type of white presidents and faculty, and the "Uncle Tom" type of Negro president and faculty just can't seem to realize that the young college Negro of today is not corroded with the "Children of Israel Street." He doesn't care if they walked on it on d. land, or crossed in a rooftop. And in spite of our protests, we still hear, "Blessed" he Since these condition: must be changed, and since the pressure for . . . changes must come from the outside (if anyone doubles a conclusion, conclusion, conclusion, that if any person outwardly protests from the inside he soon will be on the out; example, the exposure of the awful situation at Shaw University by Prof. L. K. McMillan; and student leaders at all schools which have struck). The next step in order, in addition to National Negro institutions, with such men at the head as Mr. Lewis and Prof. McMillan, and others of like attitudes, backed up by all modern and free-thinking Negroes, with the motto that, All Massa John whites, and Uncle Tom McMillan must go from all Negro colleges. And the sooner, At present, I am a graduate student of Columbia University, but if this association could be organized and my assistance could be used, I shall be only too glad to do my part. I can't understand how Mr. Davis could write such an article and mention North Carolina colleges, and miss the ring leaders in this "Stand Patters" System. I refer, for instance, North Carolina College for Negroes, Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith University. Shall we organize the association? C. D. JACOBS, 226 W. 137th street, New York City. This Reader Finds Errors Of Logic In AFRO'S Editorial On The "Bad Davis Boys." To the Editor: Your criticism of the attack on Negro colleges and so forth by the Davis Boys may or may not be offensive. I do not. I cannot bring myself to admire 'manner of criticism. I refer especially to the logic of your criticism. In the first place, your criticism resolves itself mainly into an argument ad hominem when the man and not their argument. There may be or may not be a lot of truth in their arguments, one might have contented himself with criticizing their style for their arguments do not noticeably appear as rudeness in attack rather than tacitly. Such an attack may have been justified from the point of literary criticism. In the second place, you do mention one point in the argument of Mr. Allison Davis, namely, that the colored heads of land-grant colleges are either ignorancemuses or clever politicians, and that the statement of face but then your proof that it is a misstatement of fact is itself a misstatement of fact. You hold as a major premise that the Harmon Foundation cannot award its award of land-grant colleges, and its conclusion necessarily follows that Mr. Allison Davis is wrong about all Negro heads of land-grant colleges as being ignorancemuses or clever politicians since some of these heads have received the Harmon award. It is wrong that the Harmon Foundation cannot err in its award of prizes, which assumption appears to bet the question if not to veil an argument at populum. In other words the fact that a person received a prize may or may not mean that he is deserved for the Foundation making the award of prizes err. Apart from these logical considerations which are so cherished by me, I think on the basis of a limited but, in my opinion, quite strong evidence of Mr. Allison Davis in regard to Mr. heads of land-sranch colleges is factual. I object however on aesthetic grounds to the use of the term "excramusse." There must be a better ground in my opinion, it is very significant of a new progress that the Negro is awakening to criticize himself and his own critics, but I am not so confident in criticisms of the Negro be bold and logical. F. C. SUMNER, Washington, D. C. LIONEL LICORISM Pierre B. Wasson K.M. Says: (Continued from) Page One.) Kelly Miller Thinks Drive Should Be Made To Enforce 15th Amendment Instead of 14th. Failed In Beginning The Fourteenth failed from the cutset, failed utterly, to effect the purpose for which it was intended. The Fourteenth Amendment was added to accomplish directly what the former expedition had failed to accomplish by indirection. The Fourteenth Amendment enforced, and in all human probability, never will be. High Souled Americans Congressman Crumpacker of Indiana some twenty or so years ago espoused a congressional representation, but like Mr. Tinkham of Massachusetts, his present day counterpart, he has been reinforced to at a second to his motion. It does entire credit to the patriotic spirit of Americans to insist that the people uphold and enforce their own organic law. But, like the voice crying in the Wilderness, one hears or heeds Seven presidents and nine administrations have come and gone, and yet no one of them has lioned its little finger to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment. Mr. Hoover, after his probable eight years in the White House will leave the situation in heir inheritance he inherited from Mr. Olidge. Campaign Consumption During the campaign the Chicago Tribune queried a number of candidates for Congress, whether they would uphold government of : two human rights amendments. The answers were mainly in the affirmative. But these were mere for campaign comparison only. No candidate for Congress bidding for support of a party constituent would commit to declare opposition to the Constitution. Those known to be openly and avowedly opposed to the Eight Amendment declared its enforcement as it remained on organic law. The Shoe Pinches The Negro has been clamoring in and out of season for the rigid enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment and the reduced Southern Constitution. His most wholly vindictive. He resents, and naturally enough, the thought that the white Democrats should profiteer on his representive capacity with his party, particularly the political pow idea based upon his numbers. The is ethically vicious and arouses the animosity of the race. But his reminds us of an angry cry in the night, with no language but a cry. His demand for full enforcement does not represent his attitude toward political virtue, but it implies ttrates, but untenable tendency to when the shoe pinches. soon. If he cried as loudly for the Eighteenth as for the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments his contention would carry more moral weight. **Enforcement's Meaning** It is very much to be judged whether the entitlement of the Fourteenth Amendment would re-define to the political advantage of the Negro. Should the six or seven Southern states which allowed to violate its constitutional provision with immunity, decide to live up to its observance, they would doubtless prefer limited representation than admit the gro to equal participation in the franchise. He would occur there little hope for the black men's political future. 15th Amendment It seems to me that the wise policy is to focus effort on the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment which forbids discrimination on franchise on the basis of race and color. This were accomplished, and Negro would certainly have little further grounds of complaint reason of reasonable and reasonable limitations which may state misrepresentation to place upon the best vote. Such restrictions, however, are extremely unlikely. The tendency of democracy all over the world is the direction of the nation, rather than the holding of the franchise. Nineteenth Amendment extending the right *n* vote to women indicates the direction in which the political tide is running. No Inclination 120 It is painfully manifested that the American people have inclination to enforce the Constitution when it suits their mood not to do so. The Eighteenth Amendment is a striking illustration of this principle, or: rather lack of principle. In the present mood of min. the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments have been and will be ignored with impunity. Congress alone has power to regulate hasmenses, but Congress does not choose to exercise that power. There is compulsion over the conduct of Congress except public opinion, which in this instance is cold and apologetic. It follows public sentiment rather than the technical requirement of his oath of office. The only possible remedy is to modify public opinion which at present we have found no efficient means of accomplishing. 10 Years Violation Congress is now passing a reapportionment act. There has been been a reapportionment of the plain letter of the Constitution for ten years. The Electoral College and the constitution of Congress have been based on the government itself and all of its acts are involved in deep dubium. But no one heeds the exactions of the government itself. The thing works, and the government still lives, although the provisions of the Constitution have been brot taught to the public. Differences of things is to continue is a question which gives the true patriot serious concern. Ex-President, and now Chief Justice, has sounded the warning that lawlessness, if allowed to continue unchecked, destroys the nation. Violation of the Constitution, the fountain head of lawlessness.

Jones in Opportunity Magazine) Nearly every Negro has been asked the question which a prominent Nordic attorney asked me. "Suppose," said he, "the Jim Crow car was equal in every way to the . . . car, you would prefer to with your own people, would you not? And therefore you would not object to it." And nearly every Negro has been called upon to reply; "Your supposition is contrary to fact, they are never equal." "But suppose they were," pressed my Anglo-Saxon friend, to which I made reply, "No, never." It is the spiritual aspect of the Jim Crow car which we resent. It is being set apart as lepers and things healed to the right or poor, ill-matured or dirty, refrain of uncount, that causes our blood to boil. . . . I asked for breakfast at Albany, Georgia, and a point.1 to a sloppy, greasy, smell-kitchen and told that Niggers were served in the rear. When I boarded the train I was not only hungry, I was morose. As usual, the car was crowded. Chance threw me with a farmer. Blac. as the ace of spades, his skin shone with its cleanliness. For a few miles I listened to the click of the train wheels, but my mood was one of silence. Finally I turned to my seat mate and said, "Negro.bor, how do our people fare in this neck of the woods?" He was a thoughtful man and did not answer for a moment, then he spoke slowly. "Y-ll, I will tell you about 'dese here whites, 'ore is some dat's good, but 'dey ain't able; 'den dere's some 'dat's able but 'dey ain't good. 'Dis here 'second ain't changed its 't'stics (tactics in fifty years." ... We had just finish an interesting meeting on Inter-Racial work in Birmingham, and a fellow worker who was white. As we approached the train I went to my car and he to his. I was a lonely traveler in the James Crow that went to Birmingham in Birmingham; the other part of the train soon filled up. The surplus passengers came into my private coach to ride to Birmingham; I had taken the front seat. The conductor must see that the majestic law was not violated—he used his ingenuity, the white cotton strut. This he carefully stretched across the car just behind my seat. The porter, Uncle Tom must need a newspaper; hung it across the string. My emotions ran the gamut. I was angered. Why should I lret? Does not the same treat the same person, the same as George Carver, of Tuskegee, who is Alabama's greatest scientist? . . . To Alabama the old song is true, "All Coon's Look Alike." My brain would not be still. My own blood cousin, thought I, who had lost his self-respect, and is passing like millions of other Negroes, some now in high places, sits, laughing and sneering at my humiliation. But Negroes who believe in id practice racial integrity are thus rewarded. All this went whirlin' through my brain when in came my friend from the rear coach. "In the name of heaven," said he, "what is this?" pointing to the string. "That is Nordic superiority." I said. His eyes filled with tears. We sat together in silence for a time. "It is not surprising," said I, "yet, in that since the Civil War the only internationally known educator that has come out of the South is a Negro. Booker T. Washington." My lips could frame no answer quick enough, so he continued "Nor : it strange that the only world famous singer which the South has produced in fifty years is a Negro, Roland Hayes." "Why?" said I. "Ah!" said he. "Big-otry, prejudice, meanness and littleness like this do not go together with genius."

DAYBYDAY WK. N. JONES "Newt" Miller Made His Own Eulogy "Men who live t' right kind of lives really write their own eulogies, and we poor follows but deliver them, declares G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong High School, whose eulogy at the funeral of the late Newton Miller, son of Kelly Miller, was broadcast ov- casion, KSE, Saturday night. Every day we do not hear this eulogy should read it and ponder on what the world will say when he shuffles of this soil and looks at it. Especially in this day of modern- ism, when most of us are gleefly adopting an epicurian an attitude towards life, the life of the late "Newt" Miller out like a beacon. Says Mr. Houston in part: Was Optimist "From the very first day that I met him to the last time I exchanged a pleasanty with him in a room he was not so bright be other than optimistic. Cheerfulness was his constant companion. He found no place in his initial disposition for pessimism, despair, or hopelessness; he lived perpetually in the sunshine playing at all times a youthful gaiety that was elastic. Surely, he could not ha e had the slightest premonition of the danger that was present, nor the faintest foreboding of the fate that was haunting him. Moral Equilibrium "Growing up in . . . age agitated with matters of sex, he maintained his moral equilibrium. This veritable Victorian sense of purity on his part remained one of the most traits of his unsullied character. His chief legacy to modern youth is the memory of his clean living. ..... "As an inevitable consequence of living such a clean, unimpeachable life, he suffered no embarrassment of his health, constantly before the boys of his school, before the clean of clean, robust manhood; for he exemplified the life to which he would direct others. The simple virtues of sterling manhood and the presence residence upon his lips; they had lodgment in his very bosom. ****** "And so we find him, on the throne of the palace, taking two important steps; namely, allying himself actively with the church and selecting as his companion for life a young lady who exemplified the purity of life, which he had learned to venerate. --- "He never grew 'so modern' to acknowledge the influence of the church, but he lived his earliest training in church devotion. He never found it inconvenient to give al al impetus to the church community. He so lived as to leave no question as to his belief in the basic principles of Christianity. Clean Sports "Newton Miller was interested in athletics. He played on the M Street High School basketball teams, on the Howard University basketball team, on the Howard University baseball team. He later became athletic instructor of the boys in the Armstrong High School. Without any extra compensation, without even any allowance, he was able to volunteer, he voluntarily took over the coaching of the basketball teams at Armstrong, giving freely of his time at school hours, on Saturday, during his siringcess. This is but one indication of what his no-commute, hearty co-operation and teamwork --- "He perhaps won more games and championships than any other athlete in the history of the chief athletic achievement lay in the kind of sportsmanship that he sponsored. His nation of sports was a great one. He stood for manliness in sports, Rowdyism, umbrella-titing, and unequalical practices of any kind. His character development was his biobjective. He taunted his boys how to play at the source of the source and how to lose without deletion. Punctual "Allied with his perpetual optimism was his promot and nonsensitive to his duties. With N.ton Miller punctuality and remoteness were cardinal traits that he must acquire an attitude, for he passed through the elementary grades and the high school without being absent or tardy; and his few absences during his college days were due to a spout of illness. Wherever he was located, there he was always to be found. --- "Is not such a life worthy of emulation. Are not these reflections of a so life worthy of such a time as this? Is there no cause for exaltation when one reviews a career so strenuous in high moral purpose? Is there no cause for fever? Physically, man vanishes out of vision. Spiritually, he lingers as long as his worthy "body" is the cause that falls victim of pain and disease is but the temporary machine which makes possible the only kind of life that can be enduring; that which beaches to posterity."

"The mulattoes" "Half-breed children Beggars" "The little ones suck their Negro mothers. The father may be there or he may not be. He is an official, a merchant, an officer. If he is there it will not be for long. If he is away, it will probably be for all time. The child will grow to know what he returned to her parents. The people of the village will regard the child as a pariah, a beggar, and will want to know what he continues. It is neither white nor black. It is not White or Black "No fine social reasoning will influence this manner of looking at the mulatto child. The mother has an instinctive. It is neither white nor black, hence, it is nothing! The mother will marry with a Mandingo. Its wife will marry with a race, a family, country; they will be blacks. The mulatto will be a mulatto. He will have no name, no stamina, no place to which to place as his own. "Even the breasts that he sucks belongs only half-way to him. He will pass his life seeking the other half. As children they have never the air of being a mother. Orphans With Both Mother and Father "They are like those little playboats one sees in fountains. As soon as the wind blows them toward the edge they are immediately pushed back into water but not if they reach the centre of the fountain a stream of water plays on them. Many sink. Those who survive have lost their force. "Nameless, the half-cabal is sons of Catholic religion. The Republic does n't let them stay in the bushes. When they are seven years old they are torn away from the maternal calabash. They are brought together in the blood half-bloods. They form a strange category; orphans with father and mother. Father Stops In "Whilst the father is in Africa he does not abandon them. Does he happen to be near the school? He stops to see us and he goes to be married to the he happens to be married to a white woman. "One meets these mulattoes even in the best homes sitting between husbands and coming to Africa breaks the news gently to his wife on the boat. The French woman recognizes that it is her husband she is often intelligent, she welcomes the child during her stay. Thrust Out "As soon as she has some white babies, however, the little mulatto is thrust through the door. Poor little mulatoes. The blacks are black are not their brothers. It is, perhaps, because of that; it is because they have been trying so hard to understand this, that all have such large, wide-open eyes." "Those whose fathers have disappeared, and have nothing to do at this school are to be found in the villages. The mother has grown She is a girl and she is the head of the blacks. The child has only a christian name." "Look, says a passing white man, it is the son of So-and-So." And he gives the child a penny. "It's a girl and she is pretty, the white man all know her and will give her a quarter." "Midwives and Teachers" "Some are luckier. Joseph, for instance, is a girl and she is evening, at table, with his father. Mater Valseille's. His father is a buyer of cacao. Joseph is a favorite with everybody, and folks caress him as they pass. Joseph is happy. He not yet know that there are France." "Later the boys will become teachships which take away white papas the teacher and the mid-wife will marry. The wedding is sometimes grand when the mid-wife is the daughter of a governor. "Unhappy Mulatto "These happy endings are very rare, however. The mulatto is profoundly unhappy they are taught that, morally, they are French. But the law holds them down to the status of a slave, and they take the name of their father. At twenty they are conscripted into the black army. A Negro because he is born at Dakar, Rufskus.

The story tells of an Irish mother, but it might be any mother, who leaves her home in Ireland with her young son Brian, played by the child Philippe De Lacy, and coming to America tries to educate him. She fails to make a living for both of them, even with the kindly help of the Kilkenny Giant, played by Victor McLaglen. Desperate and thinking only of her son's welfare she allows him to be adopted by an aristocratic woman. Eulalie Jensen, so that he may receive the education she is unable to give him. The child is brought up by his foster mother in the belief that his mother is dead. Through the years Mother Machree watches her son growing to manhood, achieving all she hoped for him and fulfilling all her dreams, while she is a servant in the home of the girl with whom her son is in love. Brian, as a young man, is played by Neil Hamilton, and some of the finest sequences are where the mother and son meet each other, the one hiding her identity, the other wondering why he should be so stirred every time he sees the little old woman. Show African Jungles Another of the Lon Chaney pictures will be presented for the last half of the week when "West of Zanzibar": a story of the African jungle, will be presented with Lon Chaney's Mary Nolan in the supporting cast.

Others in this final group of Negro spirituals by Dr. Dett were "Don't Be Weary Traveler, Listen to the Healer, Traveler."

With three comedians, Haze-Emily and Katie Mitchell the comedy skits, Millie Holmes in the prima donna role.

At no point on his program however, did he reach heights where his audience seemed worked up to a high Sang and Played This unfavorable condition was due apparently to a number of things, among which were: first, that he was not a suitable for concert work; secondly, that he performed with his back to the audience, playing his own accompaniment, according to clippings taken from Washington and Ohio papers, the composer's work was of high grade and the music it sings is found that Mr. Adams did not attempt to sing his numbers, but had others do the works for him, these same people singing and possessing good singing voices. Best As Composer As a composer, Mr Adams should be placed in the first rank. Practically all his compositions possess real melodies, but he also seems to seem to leave little room for improvement. Included piano compositions, kills, South numbers, consisting of Dumbar's ode set to music; sacred or secular for the program; semi-classic for the marches, concert numbers, and spirituals and airs. "Let Freedom's Music Ring," a hymn of freedom, and Mammoth's song, both featured on the program, as they were prize winners in the Rodman Wanamaker contest, first number, and first prize. The persons are unaware of the fact that Wellington Adams was the first and only music teacher of Aida Wird, the first woman to play the current colored show on New York's Broadway. Mr. Adams justly feels proud of the fame attained by his wife, who won a piano and sing- he predicted to her mother at the time that some day she would make her feel proud of her voice and that prophecy did mature in the Mrs. McCanns PMR The spot on the program which receives spontaneous response from the audience was reached when Mrs. Shirley Graham-McCanns, head of the music department at College sanitary Adams Go Wash in the Beautiful Pool."

CHICAGO. — Miss Abie Mitchell, who will appear in recital at Kimmel Hall, here, February 10, believes that she will eventually be able to enter the operatic field. Following her concert she will engage in even more intensive study of the music, the singing of the title role in "Aida," a long-cherished ambition. Many Cities Lend Whitmans Talent When it came to recruiting talent for their show, the Whitman Sisters did a great job. Aside from the fact that they have had chorus girls from the Monumental Choir, the Whitman show now has Joseph Hubert and Billy, the juvenile dancer, in addition to Princess Wee Wee who has been a member of the Whitman family. From all parts of the country tal- lent has come to this big family show- St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Kane- sland, and many others. Delphia are represented.

HAYES Graduate Piano Tuner ORGAN AND PLAYER REPAIRING Graded Music Lesson Series 559 Bakers St. Baltimore, Md. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1929 Mask And Wig Club Makes Big Hit In Legitimate Stage Comedy Howard, Wallace, Misses Husketh And Linberry, Co-Stars CAST OF CHARACTERS Mrs. Carmody, of "The Ladies' Aid—Marjorie Brown; Miss Carroll, of "The Ladies' Aid"—Dorothea Williams; Mrs. Gregg, of "The Ladies' Aid"—Elizabeth Williams; Nancy, Miss Polly's Servant—Lenora Linberry; Miss Polly Harrington, Her aunt—Lilwelyn Husketh; Pollyanna Whittler, "The Glad Girl"—Ruth Dean; Sodom, Gommorch—By Themselves; Jimmy Bean, an orphan (age 12 years)—John Holt; John Pendleton, Esq., A bachelor, called "the hermit"—William Howard; Bleecker, Pendleton's Man—George Wade; Doctor Chilton, Pendleton's friend—Steering Wallace; The Nursi—Clementine Redmond; Jimmy Bean (age 17 years)—Avon Long. With a fine vehicle in which to play, and with an exceptionally fine cast of characters to carry out the play, "Pollyanna," the glad girl, a comedy in four acts, was given by the Mask and Wig Club of the Frederick Donglass Senior-Junior High School, at the school auditorium, Friday evening. From the beginning of the comedy to the final curtain, real live entertainment was being given. In fact, the audience laughed so heartily at times, that the performers were forced to delay speaking their lines. Then there were the pathetic scenes, in which Misses Ruth Dean, Llewelyn Husket, Messrs. William Howard and Sterling Wallace were, so realistic. No doubt, there were tears in the eyes of manv of the audience during the portrayal of the scene where Pollyanna pleads to her mother's portrait for sympathy. The story has to do with "Pollyanna," a loveable and lively orphan child, who is taken from a missionary home by an aunt, not to be loved, but because her aunt feels it her duty. How Pollyanna finally finds happiness in the home of her childhood sweetheart, forms the plot of this m- enjoyable offering. Ruth Dean in the role of "Follyanna, easily walked off with honors as being the outstanding star of the play, while William Howard, as a close friend, joined the close runner-up for honors in the first place with Miss Dean. Especially good was the character portrayal of Miss Polly, Harrington, on the screen, and of Llewellyn Husketh. This young lady took off the part of the seasoned, narrow-minded old maid as only a true professional could have done. Then there was Sterling Wallace, who presented part Doctor Chilton, Peterson and Dr. Holl, acquitted himself in this role most nobly, as did John Holt and all the other members of the cast. To Lenna Linberry, who played the role of the patient, the avant, goes the major part of the honors as a producer of humor. Acting in a most servant fashion and using the true dialect of the every-day Irishman, Miss Linberry was coaxing with laughter whenever she appeared on the stage. As Pollyanna, Miss Dean will be long remembered, as she put hurting hands to the ground in real life every day. This young performer rose to the heights of a true professional in scenes, both of the humorous and serious natures. She was one of the best masculine speaking voices heard on the amateur stage for many years, and although only a junior, easily portrayed the part of the patient in actions and in speaking voices. The above members of the Mask and Wig Club of Douglass High School took part in the Catherine Cushing comedy "Pollygarn," that was presented in the school auditorium Friday and Saturday nights. Two casts made it possible for the presentation of the play on the two nights! From left to right they are: Ruth Dean, William Howard, who appeared in both casts, Lilewelly Husketh, Henriella Brown and Lenora Linberry. Penn Studio. All in all, "Polllyann" is the best thing in the way of plays put over at the Douglas, but it is unfortunate that even such intelligent auditionists have not yet learned when to laugh, have not yet to do. finished by the high school orchestra.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1929 Convention Bills Have Not Yet Been Paid IF IT'S GOOD IT'S AT THE REGEN MONDAY REGENT $900 BEHIND The question of whether or not money should be contributed to Northern University by the local Baptists was the cause of a prolonged discussion by the presbyterian Epon Baptist Church. Monday. Northern University is located in New Jersey and previously the question of giving the institution financial aid has been brought up, but on this occasion, it was made the order that day and was discussed from all angles. All Agree On Needs Rev. G. A. Crawley brought the matter before the body and with the aid of Rev. Junius Gray, described the work the place is to do, and gave an idea of approximate! how much money should be raised by the people here. Rev. Gray put the figure at $3,000. All the ministers spoke agreed that the university should be supported and was a good cause. A Committee Authorized On the motion of Dr. Gray, a committee was authorized to study the situation. The motion was pass' but Dr. Simon. Williamson, Dr. Arthur Payne and others voted in the negative, because they did not approve of the method. After many different people were heard from, the matter was on the table for further consideration. Many Objectors There was much objection to the motion on the ground that the Bantist. Convention had not, up to the present, looked after all of its obligations, and in view of this fact, many thought the Northern University could rest a while. Dr. D. G. Mack called the attention of the meeting to the fact that $900.00 was still owed on the Baptist Convention, which the local preachers entertained in Baltimore in 1925. Dr. Mack thought that it should behoove the meeting to look after its honest debts before giving money elsewhere. Charity, according to Dr. Mack, starts at home. Visitors The visitors to the meeting were: Rcv. J. M. Boyd, Messrs. T. J. Calloway and William Holliday. Jack Preston, 714 Lafayette avenue. was held for the action of the grand jury, under $1,000 bail, on charges of assaulting and robbing George Belle, in the $2,500 bail on charges of assaulting in the 1220 block Shields alley, on January 10th, after a hearing in the Northwestern police station, Monday.

J. —Fearful that beach front hotel operators and boardwalk business men would fire all colored help in order to bring an end to mixed bathing on the resort beaches, the Colored Welfare Association has petitioned the city for a jim crow beach. Atlantic City whites declare they have had a tremendous lost of business because of white and colored lathers in the Atlantic ocean from the Steel Pier to the Million Dollar Pier. Some of the city's leading hotel men are threatenir, to sell their holdings on the beach front unless they can monopolize the sand and the water direct" in front of those places and keep all colore... people Jim Crow Assured JOHN CROW *Assured* John CROW, head of the Matborough - Blenheim Company, who had announced he was willing to sell his hotel for $5,000,000, when assured that no colored people would be permitted to use the beach in front of Ohio avenue, sent out their advertisement, which has been in his fat fat for 80 years and increased its *capacity* to 1,000 rooms. Frighten Colored People White business men, using every weapon at their command, threw a seat into the blasted association recently by changing over one of the largest hotels from colored help to white help. The Northside Welfare Association has agreed to request the city to embark a bath house in the downtown section of the exclusive use of colored bathers.

Max Grossman, white, executive secretary of the Avenue Hotel Association, white, is reported as saying that Manatee City's colored building would hold a linie crow bath house if they have fairly accessible and up to the standard of other resort bath houses. Colored leaders, he said, realize what it would mean if every resort hotel and big business establishment were to fire colored help in order to make their residence here an economic impossibility. Colored hotel men have expressed the desire to cooperate in bringing about a solution. "Mixed bathing of white and coloured so spread here that Society business is done.

No Chance That Hoover Will Enforce 14th Amendment Seven Presidents Since Harrison Haven't Lifted Little Finger To Enforce It—Congressman Crumpacker Preceded Congressman Tinkham By 24 Years In Seeking Reduction of Representation of Disfranchising States. BY KELLY MARSH The Fourteenth Amendment is what might have lied in baseball practice and is sacrifice fit. It never had any intrinsic merit in itself, but was calculated to effect an ulterior purpose. After the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, slavery ceased to exist as an organized institution. Public presentation in Congress, the original Constitution, and based upon free speech and other persons, in the ratio of five to three. Logically the Fourteenth Amendment was wholly unnecessary. All free persons, and all persons were then free, automatically acquired equal weight as represented titles. The device of representation meant merely a make-in-law to induce the former slave states to accord to the Negro the elective franchise. It never was intended to limit the basis of representation; except to meet the exigencies of a local and temporary situation. Membership The membership of the House of Representatives and of the Electoral College is based primarily upon population, without regard to sex, age, race, nationality, or the choice of whom the fathers in her dreamed of entranching counted equally with men; children who were expressly excluded by the age requirement had like weight as adults; foreigners born on commission to the quota.

Race Town OWNER IS AROUSED; FIRES THRU DOOR BUENA VISTA, MD.—A "blind" shot by W. A. Davis, keeper of the general store in this colored town, wounded a white burglar and put his three pals to flight early Sunday morning. William H. Benton, 29, 310 Baltimore boulevard, Riverdale, Md., is at the Casualty Hospital with a bullet wound in his abdomen. He contended all day Sunday that he was shot by two unidentified men who accosted him shortly after midnight.

They drove in Strout's automobile to the Davis store, got out and Benton is sale have tried to unbind with a key which he had in his pocket. After several attempts, Strouth said he heard a noise inside of the store and suggested 'n Benton that they had been discovered and they had better beat it. A shot rang out and he was with the police. Police immediately interviewed Davis who said that he had heard someone try to enter his store and had fired blindly through the door with a 45 calibre Winchester rifle. He had no idea anyone was hurt and was not arrested. Further investigation brought out it that the Benton was carrying a 32 calibre revolver. Davis' gun was a 45 calibre rifle, such as he had used to shoot bears in Pennsylvania. He pulled the trigger the first time, but the gun failed to go off. He pulled it a second time and let ripped thru the door. The man ran and he didn't think it hit any- Pulled Eight Times Then Davis said he ran outside and called for them to stop. They were in the car coming in his direction and only about 15 feet away. He drew a head on them and pushed the rifle again, then attacked the gun. He had snapped eight times and had gone off only once. It was the first time, hes aled the rifle had ever missed. Davis declared that he had won hunting bears in Botswana for 20 years and he generally not what he shot at. Except for the fact that in his anxiety, the cartridges of the gun jammed, Davis estimated that there would have been four dead people in the car. The bullet went through Benton's body, cutting his belt in two as it came out.

Howard Student May Rule Dad's East African Kingdom Death Of Father Raises Question As To Successor; Prince Is Popular Athlete OPENED? Tom Fleming, Cleveland Solon, Indicted After Speedy Hearing ACCUSER IS CRIPPLED WHITE POLICEMAN Fleming Accused Of Soliciting $200 Bribe For Introducing Bill CLEVELAND, O., (Special) — City Councilman Thomas W. Fleming denied receiving a $200 bribe for legislation enacted by the council to aid a crippled policeman, Monday. Fleming was indicted by the grand jury, pleaded not guilty and demanded an early trial. Walter Oehme, crippled policeman, testified he paid Fleming $200 for legislation enacted by the council to relieve Oehme for medical bills for treatment for injuries received in service. Bond was fixed at $1,000. Subpoenas were issued for C. C. Curtis, manager of the West End branch of the Cleveland Trust Company, where the check for $200 was drawn for Fleming, according to the policeman, and Fred Brewer Oehme's relative who accompanied him to the trial, the day they said they drew the check for Fleming. Curtis brought with him the check alleged to have been given Fleming. Oelme said he personally presented the check to Fleming at the Elks' Club on E. 55th street. Fleming, in a statement issued, declared the action of the grand jury was a terrible shame. "I am absolutely innocent. "I have known Walter Oelme for 10 years. I knew him before he was crippled, wanted to do all he had to him. Oelme's charges certainly came as a surprise to me. I don't see how he could make such a statement. Anybody that knows me, knows that I wouldn't do anything like that. "If he thinks he's got a check, let him produce it. If I got a check, my name would be on the back of it. Yes, let him produce the check." Injured Making An Arrest Oelme was injured, in a struggle with John Erlin, a dope addict, whom he killed. Ordinance: introduced by Fleming for Oelme brought the crippled policeman a pension of $75.00 a month. Three thousand persons crowded into Mt. Zion Congregational Temple Sunday afternoon for a mammoth mass meeting. The audience overflowed the church auditorium and made a rare demonstration, expressing their confidence in Fleming and served notice on the newly elected Democratic county prosecutor, Ray T. Miller, white, that Negroes will brook no humbug in the coming trial. Howard Stude Dad's East Afr Death Of Father Raises Q Prince Is Pop WASHINGTON. — With the death of H. H. David K.

Taylor declares that the letter from the shire mogul was merely a formal notification he had been traced to the club for Dick Lundy, who was no mention of salary, time to report or dime.

THE PASSING REVIEW BY BILL GIBSON YOU'RE PROBABLY FED UP on all of this gulf about the proposed match between George Godfrey and Foobu "Whocountdown" and the subsequent ballyhoo about the enforcement of the fracas until Sharkey and Sharkey abound down in the Everglades region. To many minds, Godfrey has imitated the proverbial bovine by upwelling the container of lactate fluid. To others he has been wronged by the powers that be in fistula. in our estimation "Gawge" has clearly demonstrated that if dumbness were perfume he would smell like a triple bouquet. He may not get even a chance at big money again, much less a chance at anything that sounds like a box- ing it is indeed unfortunate that the Leviperville "Big Truck" has fallen short of the glory that might have been his. One of his briefest statements on Godfrey's plight is that he "did not match in Havana, is given the breaks in this match it will be those who promote it. It is obvious that Godfrey is being picked for the bout, unless there is a large Negro population in Havana, it also serves to remind the truck and his hotel. boom Mr. Bowman's Oriental Pride. "But it won't get Godrevy out but the purse he contracts to fight. for. After Martefidryh has served his purpose, he will be sidetracked and the heavyweight elimination tournament will run its course, as while a Child's restaurant." monothed, while on the matter of boxing it might be well to add that just as this column predicted, Signor Mugier Fugazy, the boxing promoter, is beginning to take notice in the eyes of the former Texan. He will be the late Tex Rickard. Already he joined Jason Dempsey to become his partner and expects to have his own big arena in New York ready within nine months. Race fighters should get a break here, if Fugazy's word means anything. He seems to be fair-minded. But to get back to George. Of what avail will all this hullabaloo be to him? Stop! Don't answer—you're breaking my heart. G AFTER A YEAR of idleness the Douglas High School basketball players are on the wooden courts and from the smile on Coach Gibson's usually serious face, one feels that the "Ducks" are in for a good season Beach Gibson has a wealth of good material on hand and is working hard to give the big school a winning combination. More than sixty boys reported for practice, but this number has now beenduced to fifteen or twenty players. One of the most prominent in the crop of forwards is "Ez". Murdock, who also took part in the Ducks' football camp last fall. He should jump into the scoring column winter training in New York. The "Ducks" have scheduled away-from-home games in Bordentown, NJ, W. J. Washington, and Wilmington, Delaware, and still have a few open dates. From this it can seen that some one has wanted. We command Coach Gibson for what we also need to accomplish with so little co-operation we are also commending the boys for their hard work and dedication to a cause. We now wait to see what aid the Douglass coach will receive in his efforts to give Douglass a championship team. AN ATLANTIC CAREER was cut short out in California recently, when Manager Rucker, local sprinter, and a sophomore at the University of Southern California, died in a hospital at Santa Monica as a result of monoxide poisoning. Rucker retired complaining of being tired from strenuous work he had done, working nights at the Arcade Post office during the holiday season. He did not answer to calls the door was forced open and he was found unconscious with his left side paralyzed and a scalp laceration. He was removed to the hospital and never regained consciousness. It is thought that fumes from a burning fire had over powered the equipment and reached the air he had been suffering still receiving the injury which resulted fatal. their teammates. "Nat" was one of the U. S. C.'s greatest prospects for track honors and had won many events in inter-scholastic and inter-college In the big East-side amateurs Field Day at White Sox Park last August, Rucker won every event in which he competed; the 100 yard dash in 10.2. He also won the 230 and led his team to victory in the relay. The suddenness of his death has brought sorrow to his many friends and makes another gap in our athletic ranks that already are fast being thinned out. IF THERE WERE SKETPTICS who doubted the drawing power and the athletic ability of the Renaissance basketball team, we feel pretty certain that they have been permanently convinced after having seen the mob that dammed the New Albert last week to see the New So great was the crowd that fans had to be turned away long before game time, and mind you the night was one of the worst that it has been Baltimore's lot to witness this season—wet, sloppy and dismal. This pillar believes that had the game been designed or at Carrollton it would have kept 4,000 people out. He still talked about "Pappy" Ricks and "Stretch" Saunders, the latter, a one-man team, who gained possession of the ball, with the aid of his height and reach, kept it indefinitely. The Rens exhibited the fastest passing combination seen in this town in years and could have made the score even larger had they not freeze the ball just for a few seconds. The game of the game, they made in excellent showing against the Harlemites, their best showing this season. We remarked several columns back that we felt that we Bears were pointed for another collegiate championship. We maintain that belief although in the first few games the Methodists have shown only flashes of their last season form. It is possible that the Rens are more meet meet match, something the Bears are not. Efforts are also being made to have players change in the City of Brotherly Love. It does seem unusual that with a college team and two club teams in the city, Morgan gets most of the out-of-town club or local club teams for opponents while the local club teams book the college gives. The other team gets the local club teams to stop off in the Monumental City. Of course the matter of dates must also be considered. It is unfortunate that the Bears didn't get a chance to play the Clark University tossers when they were here last week. In fact that Hoyward beat Clark by one point in Atlanta and again by the same margin in the Bison gym is an indication that either Howard is getting stronger or that Clark, southern champion last year, is going into a decline. On the strength of this information it seems that the Bears are going to have no runaway when the two teams play. But those Rens, we'll have to wind up by saying that they really take the tissue paper egg-beater, and that's no joke either. A JOB AS DODGER would probably suit Joe Dundee better and save him in the entanglement that his position as welterweight "champion" is causing him. With his manager, Max Wayman, Dundee has forced boxers to meet him in non-title matches, insisting that his opponents be overweight so that (Dundee's) title would not be in danger. After pulling it out of the way, the New York Boxing Club of Young Jack's hands, Dundee took on Al Mello in Boston Friday night and lost the decision, suffering two knockdowns, one in the first round, the other in the eighth. This positive that whatever prestige Dundee had is nonidentical now. Yet the New York Boxing Commission, after handing down an edict, that if enforced, would have compelled Dundee to fight Thompson before fighting any other man for the title, has crawled enough to show Young Jack into the background and give Jackie Fields the first shot at the champion. Dundee, who won his cause of it all, defended it since. The old dodging game has been Thompson, of course, has on record that terrible pasting that Fields administered to him on on the Pacific coast, but his contract with Dundee was signed are that. He deserves the first shot at Durrant. He is a great player. He will be a proper jurors he is being given the run-around. Dundee, on the excuse of an infected elbow, begged out of his scheduled contest with Thompson and since that time has been barnstorming, meeting a pack of hams throut the country. He probably thought that he had another ham when he tackled Mello, but Mello said "No." Jack Thompson, then "Old Jack" Thompson, may hear a faint rap at his door, and placing his ear trumpet to his ear may hear the news. "Well sign you up now kid." G THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED us on several occasions. "Are all of Morgue College players really students of the college or are they just hired performers?" To save any further answer this column reiterates that Morgan's basketball players are students just the same as athletes in any other school. Their studies with them are primary. basketball secondary. And weekend classes. How do I know? I've been out there and have seen them. And if you'll listen to me the cagers are not such slouches when it comes to studies, rating above average in their work. No boys, they don't draw a salary. --- CARLTON'S NEW FALL AND WINTER HATS All Colors and Styles That formerly Sold For $5.00 and $7.00 Now—$3.50 Suggs To Meet Chocolate HAMPTON, INST. Va. — An exciting game of basketball from the first whistle to the final gun was witnessed in the Hampton Institute gymnasium, Saturday, when Hampton's Blue and White baskets crashed thru a nip and tuck affair to whin' the Howard University five, 23-21. It was a thrilling fray which pitched an atmosphere of tenseness, which lifted when the timer's gun fired and allowed the attackers to go up in the form of yells, screams and shouts. Both teams knew that victory after such a game would send their mothers' market. Fully three minutes clapped before either team of nervous players were able to register a score. And then it was Cyr Taylor of Hampton, who The Bison team, for the most part composed of tail men, did some neat and accurate training, and a whole worked together with perfect coordination, each part on the spot at the time when it should have been done. He was by far the most outstanding member on the team. He was written down as the high point men of the team, and came Simpson. Howard's massive siskin-foot center, who must have weighed well over two and a half inches. Along with him, a shubbler fighter. The last half found a fighting Hampton team and also a fighting Howard team on the floor. It was early in the game when the foul and tie the score. From that point on it was Hampton in the lead, but never any more than four points to the good. Only two points in favor of Hampton. A beat by Simpson or Coates would have blazed glory for his name, but instead a foul was committed and Hampton's level was set. Bisons Outside Hampton. The Howardites outscored the Seasiders from the floor, tallying 9 baskets to 8 for Hampton. Both teams were close, 15 attempted shots from the foul line, while Howard was only able to crop in three of a total of 15 attempts. Both teams, being close, also guarding, missed a number of set-ups. McGowan's covering of back court was outstanding, while the play of Simpson of Howard and Cotton of Hampton became clear that they were put out of the game.

Baby Joe Gans has won 102 battles in 107. He dropped five decisions, and has whipped Mushy Cailhanan, junior-weltwerte champ. Hilario Martinez of Spain and the United States, and in his Eastern showings handed Jimmy Goodrich, recent conquerer of lightweight champion Sammy Mandell, a sound larruping; Tommy Jones (twice). Jackie knocked (twice) Tony Hearn, Felix and Guddy DeMarco. Larney Lichtenstein, the "Little Napoleon of the Mangers," has plotted many a champion in his fight manager. He handled Jimmy Glabby, welterweight champion, and Ad Wolgast, onetime lightweight ruler. But never say, "I am the boss whose services were so sought after as Baby Joe Gans." Gans is ready for any lightweight, junior-walter, and welterweight fight, and in fact, anyone up to 147 pounds, and Gans, it is well to mention, never scales over 139 pounds at 2 o'clock. Cleveland Stars At Top Winter League LOS ANGELES, Calif. 4NP. With the Cleveland Giants hope to keep cinned the hold they now have on the winter league series.

NURMI SEEKS TO DRAW COLOR BAR BOSTON. — (Special)—When Gus Moore, national cross-country champion, and representing the Brooklyn Harriers, finished third in the (womens) invitation race won by Paavo Nurmilä, Finnish track marvel, here, Saturday night. Nurmilä claimed that Moore jostled him during the course of their 24-lap struggle and asserted that he will never run another race against the cross-country champion. For the first six turns (half mile) around the track, the Finn trailed Moore, but forged to the front as they began the seventh lap. Battling less than a yard behind Nurmui's heels, Moore again took the lead as the rumened to the finish line with lash, leading for more than half of the distance. On the back stretch Nurmi speeded up and Moore accepted the challenge, his elbow barely coming in. He was not impressed by the ribs. It was evident that the Finn was displeased, but he opened up and took the lead never again to be headed. To the thousands presupposed by the outcome of the consequence, in fact, many people did not see it and those that did paid no attention to it. Say Nurmi Head Swelled. So Nurmi palatable followers it is felt that Nurmi is developing "prima donna" tendencies. Interviewed after the race he is quoted as saying: "This Gus Moore is not a good sport, but not run another race against him." In view of the fact that Moore is not entered in the two-mile event at the B.A.A. games at the Boston Arena. Saturday night, there will be no opportunity to observe whether Paavo will live up to his threat. Smith's Hotel Guests registered at Smith's Hotel this week are: W. H.

Shortly after the initial tap-off Wyatt foiled Dalton, who free the ball, and then scrimmaged the court for a stray two minutes.

DILLARD The iron man of the east end met a force that could resist that ore when the versatile Hayes Scott won the judges' decision of the tournament, jabbing the latter to submission in their six-round setto before a large crowd at the New Albert Auditorium, Tuesday night. Lacking that killer instinct which he is claimed by his backers to possess, Dillard was unable to cut the upper cuts and one-two blows that Scott continued to lay upon him. Scott was able to realize the much desired change for the decision won for him eight months ago at Riverview. The winner showed exceptional ability to out general the opponents and in the range fighting Scott held the advantage and only when the two would stand toe to toe for a slug-fest would Dillard have a sword. *Semi-Windu Uneven* In a quick and one-sided semi-windup Young Kid Norfolk kowed Young Ski in the second stanza of the game.

Cage Race Tightens Fritz Pollard Greatest Of All-Time Officials Assert Former Football Star At Brown University Without A Peer Before Of Since For His Exploits On The Gridiron BASKETBALL! BLUEFIELD Institute "Blue Devils"—The Sensation of The West —VS.— ATHENIANS Baltimore's Favorites New Albert IKE DIXON'S ORCHESTRA EXTRA PRELIMINARY 8:30 P. M. SHARP Mondawmins (white) vs. Unknowns Admission: 50 Cents FRIDAY Feb. 8th. Next Big Game Friday, February 22, Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. vs. Athenians By BILL GIBSON Who was the greatest ace football player of all time? The question was put point blank for Douglass High School, ex-Springfield Training School player, and he wined as the answer was anxiously awaited. Then, after a long pause, came the words, "Fritz Pollard." Gibson Picks Pollard "I considered Pollard the greatest football player of all time." Coach Gibson continued, "because there had been a great attacker, who was equally perfect on both offensive and defensive. Probably best known as a broken field runner, Pollard could also hit the line and the ball, and was a great opponent, a terror to all of Brown's opponents." Pollard was shifty and brainy, always being on the alert to take the advantage of a break in the game, but he was not great at playing his color Fritz had to play unusually hard and had to take a lot of hard knocks from prejudiced opponents. But he was great at agreeing to the game, was impossible to get him off his fe. Once in possession of the ball he never let it go and when Fritz was carrying the ball, he was great at gain. It just had to be done. Pollard, in my estimation, should go down in history as the greatest football player of all time. *Stood Men On Heads* William Pollard himself, a former football player, and who in his time has seen many of the major stars perform on the gridiron, also believes that Pollard was the greatest on the moleskins, greatest of color. "He stood his opponents on their heads," says Mr. Wright. "He made monkeys out of college stars. Fritz only weighed 155 pounds but most of that weight was below the waist. He tackled with force and accuracy and when an opponent hit him that opponent had a la-ing memory of the affair. Name me a man who could race through teams like those of Harvard and Yale for touchdowns like Pollard. Six times he ran thru these elevens to place the pigskin back of the goal posts. And on the defense he was equaliv as good." "When Colgate beat Brown in 1916 by a 28-0 score, it was Pollard who kept the score from being probably 50-0 for he made 50 per cent of his team's tackles on that occasion. Time may come and time may see football players go, but never will there be another like the great Pollard, the pluckiest little man football has ever known." That Yale Game One of Pollard's most thrilling performances was in the game played between Brown and Yale, November 11, 1916. Of his work that day the "Individually, Fritz Pollard, a lilac, dusky, six-foot half-ring, displayed the cleverest all around him. Pollard played in the field this season. In the end running, forward passing, in executing a bewildering criss-cross and delayed pass run, Pollard played in running back punts, in stepping and dodging Yale tacklers in a broken field. Pollard gave a peerless performance, the crowd of 25,000 spectators up with a roar in the opening minutes of the final playing period. Dodged Entire Team. Caleb Hobson, Pollard aloft midfield by the toe of Harry Legere Pollard dexterously threw off the Yale ends, started towards the end of the game. Yale tacklers in that direction, then using a puzzling side-sweep switched to the left where he outstretched his arms sprint for the Yale goal line, sailing across for the second touchdown for the visitors. This heartbreaking performance, the crowd applauded and the Ells were never dangerous afterwards." Shaw, 18; Brick, 11 By "NAVY ARMSTRON" University "Bears," suffering from the defeat handed them by Va. State College last week, staged a brilliant comeback here Thursday night and defeated "Panthers" by an 11 score. WITHOUT A PEER That's what officials and many sport fans say about Fritz Pollard, the former Brown University flash who raced through Harvard and Yale for touchdowns when only 158 pounds, is often spoken of as the man "who couldn't be gotten off his feet." VIRGINIA STATE HAS CINCH WITH SAINTS PETERSBURG, Va. - St. Paul's Tiger baskets fell before the dazzling attack of the Blue and Orange Hilltopers in a hot contested game here tonight, 41-21. State's big five have just returned from a victorious North Carolina trip. Going into the second half with the score 15-6 against her, St. Paul made a desperate bid.

WALTER Thompson Company (ANP) - Retail business in the United States is undergoing changes which are almost as sweeping as those which follow - the introduction of power driven machinery. The real cause for these changes is the increasing power of machines that would possibly give skilled clerks a very equivalent to what they can get as skilled mechanics and make a: money out of a small store. A store selling $2,000 worth of goods takes a year has weekly sales of $1,000, and at 12% net profit, which is the most that many lines of goods will stand, this gives the store-keeper $2 a week in income in some parts of the country represent a fair return for the work and worry of directing a $2,000 business, but in many places it represents no more than a waltreatment of work is moderately continuous. And yet, the recent census of distribution taken in eleven cities shows that out of 80,000 independent retailers, 12 per cent did more than $50,000 a year each. These, to be sure, did over 70 per cent of the independent retailers less than $50,000 were paying their owners less than $25 a week in profits. Moreover, 28.06 per cent of the dependent retailers less than $50,000 and hence paid their proprietors less than $2.50 a week profit, of course, is less than a low wage for unskilled labor. This is the reason of retail business is one of the reasons for the spread of chain store organizations. Of the 95,000 stores covered by the census of independent retailers, 12 per cent did chain store organizations, and these did nearly 30 per Never Closed DIGIT An essential feature in every entitlement BYRON Better Known as DIGNITY, GOOD TASTE, FIRST CITY MY PRICES WILL Office, 1218 M THIS IS A LIST A Complete Funeral A FINE CLOTH-COVERED CASK With Six Sizes OUTSIDE CASE, EMBRALMING We Go Anywhere in JOSEPH A. 409 MOUNT STREET Gilmor 6410 or BRANCH OFFICE: 709 S.

Apparently many of those who are small and small merchants are selling their brains at less than they are worth. In other words, they are selling a price for nominal independence. The probabilities are that the lot of the small merchants is that of the larger ones as time goes on. It is my conviction that • chain store organizations as a field of retail operations are more important during the next few years offer many advantages over small scale independent stores. Society apparently is making up more money than it can afford to support as many small shopkeepers as it once did; and the small storekeeper in exchange for his nominal salary is adequate wage by the larger organizations in the retail business, or is going to earn a better living in some more constructive, even if more active and exacting, pur Business Men Meet NEW YORK CITY, Jan--Following a recent luncheon conference called by Dr. Robert R.

We were able to see patients in our office referred by other physicians irrespective of their ability to pay our fee. The patient, however, said she would pre-fer to be referred to Dr. Young." "Short after, aides Dr. Young, who had evidently comprehended the attitude of ourselves and of our secretary, phoned to our friend, saying we were impossible to uset to him to listen courteously to what we had to say, though we told him that he must be under some misapprehension as to what had occurred."

By PROFESSOR FUDGE THE FEDERAL ATHLETIC and Social Club held its regular informal dance in the Golden Slipper ballroom of the Penn Hotel in Tuesdays. This will be the last social entertainment given by the club, if rumor is true. It appears that in the middle of the dance, some people other than social, and I hear some good track men are to be developed. On the occasion of the last dance, some people seem to be involved in efforts to form some of the members to let their outside women have a chance to attend a public affair. The members succeed in getting their wives at home, but were not able to keep the matter quiet. The news has started to penetrate and they say, "We are going to 'gallop' them little bit." Going To Pieces THE ROYAL HIGHLANDERS. a Canadian Military band, which won fame in the world war, arrived at the Union station Thursday. January 24th, on an official visit to Baltimore City. The Highlanders had on their "Pladies," and carried their bag pipes and all in all, they looked as if they might be somebody back home. When a foreign band stalks in like this, it is not informal, as is the case when the International band leads a parade out to Greenwood Electric Park. It must be met properly and escorted to wherever it is to go. On this occasion, the Highland band was met by a band from Fort Howard, the 12th Infantry, U. S. A., a sorry outfit, and a detachment from the 5th Maryland N. G., otherwise known as the Dandy Fifth. As far as the Twelfth Infantry band, escaped from Fort Howard, is concerned, there is no use to discuss it at all for it didn't have enough pep in it to have a "black conglomeration in front of it." This could be overlooked, but the Fifth Regiment is supposed to stand for something, and on this day, and it stood for a lot. The little detachment it sent was late, and ill made-up, and some of the soldiers were picked up en route. It looked as if they had to get off from work or something of the sort. After looking the situation over, I came to the conclusion the Dandy Fifth is going to pieces, and the only fact that death had made, Johnny Aires resign his post as band librarian of that outfit, quite some years ago. Johnny Aires was the only official Negro in the Fifth Regiment. He knew less than the Colonel. It was his duty to walk six spaces behind the band on parade, and to appear as important as possible. He wore a regulation red shirt not operus with his band, but would lead Charlie's band. Had Johnny Aires been living, before he would have stood for the Fifth being late, he would have aroused all of the detachment individually, six o'clock in the morning. Why Not? THIS SEASON WILL FIND Ben Taylor heading the Bacharach Giants of Atlantic City, instead of the local Black Sox aggregation. Ben's going will of course be regretted by all of the fans, and in view of the fact they are not only reasonable thing they can do is to wish him well in his new venture. In the absence of an official Ways and Means Committee, as a "gallery god" I would suggest that he should be given the opportunity to say some sort of token of remembrance on the side. He has hit the ball hard. He has managed the team well. He has brought home the hawk and has faced the challenge of his achievements will some good man step forward and act as treasurer for this good cause? Anybody At All THE PRECIDENT SET at the football game between Howard and Morgan, when a flistuff followed a decision, seems to be well established, so much so that a milieu does not now have a clear distinction without warming up, just after the Renaissance Club had put it all over the Morgan basketball five, a young woman jumped in, and started to stomp to death, another young woman whom she claimed had been messing" around with her boyfriend.

A voice we loved is stilled— A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled God in his wisdom has recalled The loan his love had giver And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in heaven Do we forget, nay, in each heart There liss a secret place unseen; By normal eyes, where dwells a love For our own feel A loving thought, true and tender.

Loving thoughts true and tender, Just to show you I still remember. Her daughter, EDITH, Philadelphia, Pa. JACKSON-Sophia. In loving memory of our mother who passed away January 22, 1928: Our mother is sleeping, so free from all pain; O her wake not, sweet spirits, to suffer again. She slumbers so sweetly, O let her sleep on. Her skimble is ended, her troubles all gone. O thirst how she suffered and moaned with pain. In the long night hours, we soothed her hain. Till God in his mercy sent down from above. An angel that whispers a message of love. Our thoughts go wandering when night falls. To the land of long ago. And memory paints the seen, of old. In the gold of the twilight glow. We seem to see in the soft dim light. A face we love the best— And we think of her when the sun's best rest. Our thoughts go wandering when daylight fades To the land of long ago. And memory paints the seen, of old In the gold of the twilight glow. We seem to see in the soft dim light. A face we love the best— And we think of her when the sun's last ray Goes down to the golden west. By her children, ADAH POWELL, MARY, ARTHUR, HARRY and MAR- JORIE.
