The court in asking and answerd itself, that the reason why the brother did not bring someone to have the will, established said. "The impression left on my mind from the evidence is that John Seabrook is ignorant and asking in executive ability. "He believed that his brother had left a will under which he might ultimately benefit—and his widow was too influential and important in her set for him—a non-resident, to get the truth of the case. "Most of the witnesses in this case were intimate personal or business friends of the widow and if they should tell John Seabrook what they knew about the facts, during the lifetime of Nena, they would criminally involve their friend and church member. Not until the death of Nena, therefore, were they at liberty to speak." A THREE DAYS YOUR DAN Coughs from colds may lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchial irritations. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing CREOMI FOR THE COUGH FROM THE RAILWAYS "Gulley: two to ten years in the penitentiary," was the sentence imposed upon City Councilman Thomas Fleming for accepting a $200 bribe from a policeman to get him a pension. Instantly his smile faded. Counsel, Selmo Glenn, right, noted an appeal. The Cleveland press declares Fleming got justice and in his conviction the political house of Maurice Maschke, white boss, totters. Interested in furthering Negro education in the State, a bill will be introduced in the General Assembly fixing the same minimum salaries for Negro teachers as for whites. "The passage of this bill would be no more than an act of simple justice, equal pay for equal work is a sound principle and the State of Maryland cannot ignore the precedent. The fact that there is now a discrepancy between the minimum salaries paid whites and blacks speaks none too well for the public's sense of fairness.

The lowest salary for the white teacher in the elementary schools of the State is fixed by law at $600 a year. The minimum for Negro teachers is $320. How human beings on such a scale can provide the necessities of life, say nothing of the purchase of books and the paying of tuition for special courses required of them in their profession, is inconceivable. In all probability the answer is: It can't be done. "But be that as it may, discrimination is the more glaring injustice at the moment and the bill to be offered in the Legislature deserves the prompt and favorable consideration of the public's representatives. Maryland should acquit itself of that species of injustice." MRS.

She offset the claim that Mr. Douglas was without religion, and told how affected he was when he played "Jesus Is Calling To Me," on the violin, and how he took the entire hymn to heart as personal.

"BUILT ON MERI" KRIGWA PLAYERS IN BRILLIANT TRIUMPH Washington Dramatic Group Acclaimed In Three One- Act Plays GIVE INTER-RACE PLAY Play Of Southland Strongest Vehicle Presented WASHINGTON. — The Erigwa Players' Guild presented three one-act plays in the auditorium of the Dunbar High School, Friday "For Billy's Sake," by Carrie Williams Clifford, is the story of Jane Andrews, a young mother who has seemingly been deserted by her husband and because of her color, is unable to find employment which will insure an education for her child. She has always had some dramatic ability and is about to accept an offer to work as a teacher for the husband, who has in the meantime become a successful inventor, returns and makes her sacrifice unnecessary. Mrs. Andrews, the mother of the neglectful Tom, is played by Estelle Evans. Her interpretation was by far the finest in the play. Here are the stories of Jane Andrews. Other members of the cast were: Lowry Barnes, as George Andrews, the younger brother; Helen Seruby as Kilty Wright, engaged to George Andrews, and a sympathetic friend of Jane's; Percy Waddill as Andrews and the oldok, the Monsieur Tardieu, the theatrical producer. "Compromise," the second play, was splendidly done. This play by Willis Richardson, is the story of Jane Lee and her children. After a worthless husband compromised with Ben Carter, their white neighbor, for one hundred dollars after Carter had handed him the dog, they struggled to keep things going. The younger son, Alec, has assumed the responsibility of the father who deserted with the compromise money when another tragedy comes to the family. Annie, the elder daughter, is ruined by Jack Carter, Ben's only son. Alec in an attempt to kill the seducer, breaks Jack's arm. Ben Carter, who had at first agreed to compromise with the mother and educate the younger children, refuses to keep his pledge, and swears vengeance against Alec, who escapes while his mother defends then one from the sheriff. Splendid Characterization Estelle Evans mother, Jane Lee, Bernice Lawyer, Jane Alc, and Samuel Popel, as Ben Carter all defends the home from the sherrif. characterization. The daughters were played by Helen Ogle and Vivian Turner. The entire cast of "Chasm,"b y E C. Williams and Willis Richardson stand out for their finished performances and splendid play of the part of the doctor. "Lillian" Clark interpreted his maiden sister, Miss Frances Calvert, and Julia Dulany played Eunice, the daughter of Dr Calvert. The other members of the cast were Edna Shinley, who played Mrs. McRae, the neighbor, Jack Bond, Llewellyn Scott, and Lowy Bond, Llewellyn Scott. The colored Costoma Green, who was the colored chauffeur. The entire cast of "Chasm," by land, and all of the characters are white, with the exception of "Charlie," the chauffeur, with whom the daughter, Eunice, falls in love. Dr. Calvert, the girl father, is the only one to witness the earns of his daughter's love for the Negro chauffeur he is brokenhearted. This last play was by far the strongest of the three.

Herbert Hoover last week sought a realistic answer to the Republican party's most head-achy riddle: How GOP's gains in the South be consolidated and permanently retained? In Florida "To help Mr. Hoover, Col. Horace A.

"Meanwhile, into the Hoover presence were ushered a few southern gentlemen, eager to impart advice, and to deplore the Negro's dominance." Infinitely patient, the President-elect listened and listened. Lily-White "Upon how the G.O.P. treats the Negro in the south depends to a large extent, the Negro vote in Illinois where it is often crucial. The white gentlemen, exponents of the 'new South,' urged Mr. Hoover to buttress and contend with Black Machines of the South, to cultivate the lily-white movement by which it is hoped to Republicanize permanently many a southern Democrat whose party was shaken by the Romanism.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1929 AUCTION HITS HOWARD HAWKINS' PROPERTY AUCTION HITS HOWARD HAWKINS' PROPERTY WASHINGTON, D. C. — Public auction sale was announced recently for the building at 1218 Pennsylvania avenue, owned jointly by Perry W. Howard, John R. Hawkins, banker, and C. A. Whittington, white, Mississippi postmaster. The property was owned two-thirds and Hawkins one-third of the property on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue near the post office building. In January of last year, Howard transferred to C. A. Whittington, one-sixth of an undivided two-thirds interest giving Whittington a one-third share. The property was encumbered with a first trust of $13,500 and a second trust undisclosed held by the Mount Vernon Savings Bank. The owners failed to pay the bank the second trust and the bank foreclosed.

In a press summary released December 19, 1928, the U. S. Census Bureau reported the Negro churches of Pennsylvania as numbering with a membership of 17,552, expen- pensions of $2,675.15, and 572 church values valued at $15,363.354. "The State Survey of Pennsylvania reports a total of but 395 with plants valued at $63,308.80. In explanation of the phrase "reputable and organized" the Survey says, "If one were to attempt to include every store front that some brother or sister has converted into a religious sign on the window and erecting a few benches and a platform on the inside, it would be utterly impossible to give an exact figure for the ber of the church. The figures in this survey will be confined to those churches which are connected with more or less recognized or well known denominations and less prominent places of being and whose pastors are fairly intelligent." Colored Churches Churches are distributed according to denomination to Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, 58: Methodist I; Episcopal 17: Episcopal 17: Presbyterian 16: Christian Methodist Episcopal 4: Church of God. 2: Lutheran; 1: other denomination.

C. — Before a crowded audience, Benjamin Stolberg, white, editor of the Bookman delivered a series of lectures under the aegis of the department of social sciences, last summer, last year on the Negro problem. Belittles Van Vechten During the evening lecture, he called the Negro problem an old story. The Negro he said was still not understood. Carl Van Veench in his quest for accelerated growth of the Relief Negro in his "Nigger Heaven." Stolberg's conception of the Negro in the United States was that of a working class. Negro Economic Proletarian population belonged to the working class. As such the Negro question was only solvable from the standpoint of economics. The Negro population of Labor was the fly in the ointment of race relations in the U. S. A. Since strikes must occur and Negroes were available for breaking strikes, the A. F. L. ought to have taught the lesson to have built themselves based on solidarity of the working class irrespective of color. Fullman Porter Curious Animal "The Messenger" was about the only radical representative of Negro economics. He was a member of organizations were imbecile, for the average Fullman porter was a curious animal. The Fullman porter, he characterized as being polite, harmless and harmless. He was private, private and then turned quite readily, and then turned to obey his company and also joined the union of the company. The two unions are pellant, the two unions in their places, thus the answer to the flasco of the Fullman porters strike of 1928, was that the porters and their organizers lacked the ability to unite for the common weal. Washington Continining his indicting vocal melee, he stated that although the Negro belonged economically to the community, he was psychologically member of the petty bourgeois class. The Negro dressed his wife to look as if he was worth a dollar in cash, and was worth just a nickel. On account of this it was hard to organize them, for white capitalists by subterfuge methods employ "scientific" social workers and welfare workers to exclude them intimately and servility. In this connection he remarked Washington was the biggest fallacy of that the Tuskegee Institute was a century and remarked that Dr. DuBois' criticisms of this policy for the last thirty years were technically sound and the best the institute could give the Negro genients. Tuskegee and Hampton "institutes," he asserted, have far failed to promote an executive position of note. Instead, these "industrial" institutes were producing bands of semi-skilled laborers, some of whom were trained at artistically trained (?) social workers who were tenor of the apathy of their capitalist philanthropists to the future of the Negro in America.

In life, Stolberg defined religion as the emotional outlet of the pathetic individual who could not stand the gaff of the struggle for existence. Interracial Conference A Camouflage. Confirming his indictment against the philosophy of the Negro, he caused for a moment and an occasion the Bourbon South and referred to these foundations (Laura Snelman. Rockefeller. Russell Sage, etc.) as the religious emoji. His characterism. He characterized them as a camouflage by which rilantropist capitalists played on the Negro's religious emotions so as to postpone the circumstance he described the recent National Interracial Conference held here as a polite tendency of rich sooth agencies to smooth defenses. Negro politico-education, self-esteem and thereby posthumise his social revolutionary threats. "This conference," he asserted, "sure knows how to do their job for its promiscuity dislike." Nails the "New Negro." The fact that Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, professor of philosophy at Howard University, and a professor of law in the audience, made Mr. Stolberg to remark that he was a reinow classmate of Dr. Locke at Harvard and knew nothing on secured grounds. "But," he boldly declared, "so long as I have no job, and have no one to be afraid of, I feel perfectly justified to make me remarks on secured grounds." This German iconoclast and American journalist proceeded to hand Dr. Locke's protege a sound thumping stuff as the new Negro it was a mere holum. He said that the fact that the new Negro (if Dr. Locke meant the Afro-American) was the Florence Mills, who was just a jigging dance, and ignored the constructive contributions of Dr. Ernest Just, internationally known Florence Mills, rather adversely on the mentality of the new Negro. Spanks Negro Bourgeoisie He devoted a time to the education of the élite. He said that the Negro intellectual was running away from the lower classes who con- titute the masses.

Not Superstitious The Rev. Mr. Price, who took the text from Solomon's Song, 6:10, "Who is she that looketh forth as the morning; fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners" declared that she not superstitious to the moon, govens our lives and temperaments, Bad dispositions, he said, are noticeable under certain moon phases. Science had recognized the influence and he was certain that many divorces had been brought about by unequalual to lunar influ- "To my mind there is no institution so beautiful as God's church," began the minister. "Despite all the criticism hurled at her by a woman turtled up to her in a womanness of unulaterated virtue and as conspicuous as a beacon off a dark coast. If some of our churches (and I do not mean the structures) are not what they should be, mankind is responsible. God has ordained her wife." "The speaker turned aside in his exegesis to pay honor to great women of the race, pointing out the tremendous difficulties they had to face in achieving honor. "Yes, indeed," he slouched, "the vergro temptations of the temptations thrown in her path, in verky doth 'shine, clear, as the sun.'" "I am not superstitious, but I honestly believe that divorce suits and prevalent estrangements are the result of unequal, volcanic eruptions of volcanic rocks. Our temperatures, and where two persons marry who are born under different moons, conflicts and wrecked homes must result. It has been proven by science that the eruption of an individual are noticeable only under certain moon phases." AMONG THE CHURCHES AMONG THE CHURCHES PERKINS SQUARE BAPTIST CHURCH 11:00 A. M.

Præchler Meeting at Bethel Church, Monterey Dr. Ford's subject was "The Fool Books of the Bible." He said the "Song of Song" only book among the five: Provost Palms, Ecclesi...tes, Job, and Sam's Song, in which the name almost, if not, sensual. There is nothing religious about the said, and some of the lines are almost, if not senuous. "The idea of its being an allelic of Christ and His Church murky read into it by plous minds, and is accepted by those who dare not go against — prevailing opinion," said R. Ford. "But as I read it I am each led to consider it a capital love, but out of place as a book of mission." Declaring that the book tells story of the Shulam: "girl brought by Solomon to his harem, Dr. F. Saiti she was not contented there a concubine of the king and her for her shepherd lover. Solomon has all rewarded her fidelity by cender her back." It is a beautiful love poem of chapters. Dr. A.ord said, full of sad similes and metaphors and guilty of drawing anyone into a path of rectitude. Whole Book Dr. C. H. Stephande declared he littered the 66 books of the Bible to cover and accepted all of it as God word. If there is any disposition get rid of "Solomon's Song" or "Book of Job," he said, one man as well tear on the Bible. Bishop A. L. Gaines declared the 66 books of the Bible were placed in the canon by a majority vote as the "Song of Sones," was one book that not in by a very majority vote, but the difference be in Solomon as a young man who would such a thing as the "Song of Son and Solomon as an older man who wrote Ecclesiastes ending to "Vanity of vanities all is vanity."

The great mistake most southerners make is in confusing the same car with the same street car, attending the theatre, eating at the same lunch counter, and sitting together on the same jury are not so similar. We shall eventually get every civil right which is ours because it is right that we should. It will be easier to educate and educate, and we shall get there all the same. Our consolation pending the final outcome lies in the fact that as a race, we are a rubber duck and can adapt ourselves to manifold variations. In Negro life, there is plenty of sunshine within and without. There is great mistake most southerners make is in confining civil rights with so-called social rights. The same is true in the same theatre, at the same lunch counter, and sitting together on the same jury are not so. We shall eventually get every civil right which is ours, because it is right that we should. In Negro life, there is plenty of sunshine with- in and without. J. N. Mussely Salute A Friend Mr. William Cabell Bruce (Dem.), senior Maryland senator, steps out of office March 4th. Brilliant and experienced in debate, simple, yet learned in his utterances, he cut a wide swath through the hokum and buncum that usually collects around Capitol discussions and always puts out a message that are those who think Mr. Bruce will be remembered for his advocacy of the repeal of the Volsted law. He is wetted of the wets; yet there are others, Reed, (Dem. Mo.), for example, who are even more implacable foes of the 16th Amendment. Bruce will be longest remembered as a champion of those who have no spokesman of their own in the Senate Chamber. Last year, Senator Heflin, (Dem. Ala.), Senator Bench (Rep. Idaho), maintained in vigorous language that illegal disfranchisement of the Negro does not exist. Mr. Bruce stood ALONE to remark that the South is using legal immunity to nullify the 14th Amendment. Here was a real champion of plain and unvarnished truth, frankly persistent, unafraid and alone, while the northern Republicans were silent and southerners like Senator Glass were raging with what Senator Bruce described as "encouragement." An incident last week in the Senate proves that Senator Bruce is true blue, that he is always the gallant defender of the weak. Senator Blease (Dem., S.C.) turned aside from a talk on Senator Bruce to a cowardly attempt about the Nero race. Mr. William Cabell Bruce (Dem.), senior Maryland senator, steps out of office March 4th. Brilliant and experienced in debate, he will be able to write better and write through the hokum and bumblebee that usually collects around Capitol discussions and always put his finger on the main issues. There are reasons why he will be chosen for the advocacy of the republic of the Volunteer law. He is vetted of the wets; yet there are others, Reed, (Dem., Mo.), for example, who are even more impractical of the 18th Amendment. He is the longest remembered as a champion of those who have no spokesman of their own in the Senate Chamber. Last year, Senator Helfin, (Dem., Ala.), Senator Borah, (Rep, Idaho), maintained in vigorous language that illegal disfranchisement of the Negro does not exist. Mr. Bruce LONE to remark that the Senate "legal ingenuity to nullify the 14th and 15th Amendments." Here was a real champion of plain and unwarned truth, frankly persistent, unafraid and alone, with the courage to speak out. And southerners like Senator Bruce were raging with what Senator Bruce described as "democratic fury." An incident last week in the Senate proves that Senator Bruce is blue, that he is ally and defender of the weak. Said Senator B.B. "A Negro makes an efficient fireman on a railroad, but put him in the engineer's seat and he goes to sleep." Mr. Bruce interrupted to ask if South Carolina RAILWAYS had ever given Negroes a chance to run locomotives. Mr. B.B. B.B. wriggled out: "Yes, they have been put on ENGINES IN COTTON MILLS." And so we lose a friend in the Senate as Mr. Bruce retires to private life. His presence there added lustre to the name of Maryland; champion of individual liberty was he; champion of humanity. We salute a friend. Suddenly Fit Assistant City Solicitor Arthur Briscoe, speaking at the Doug dinner in Baltimore last week, gave an explanation of Mayor Breen's appointment of four colored members to his official interesting. Said Solicitor Briscoe: "Appointment of Mr. Willard Allen to the Zoning and Charity Boards, Dr. Howard Young to the Jail Board and myself in the city at the time of his evidence of his acts, as we make ourselves more efficient, more appointments will be available." Presuming that Mr. Briscoe was sincere in his remarks, and meant what he said, his error may be explained as a mistake of the head officer. Nevertheless, there isn't a scintilla of truth in what Mr. Briscoe said, and in the quietness of sober reflection he ought to admit it. Not a single appointee of the mayor, with the probable exception of Mr. Briscoe, is under Each of them was as fit to serve in his present capacity five years ago as today. Without reflecting upon them, everybody knows Baltimore can nominate a hundred men equally to be in the office, and he received it. then, that they did not receive in Mayor Breening's first administration, the appointments which they have received in his second. He spoke for Mr. Briscoe? Well-Mr. Breening's failure to make appointments during his first term turned thousands of votes into the Democratic camp and Mr. Howard W. Jackson was elected mayor. These same Negro bollers came near re-electing Mr. Breening, the vote which did stick by Mayor Breening, he has made these several appointments. NO AMOUNT of efficiency could have earned Mr. Briscoe his appointment except for the bollers. It is well to remember that. Each of them was as fit to serve in his present capacity five years ago as today. Without reflecting upon them, everybody knows Bailor can nominate a hundred other men equally as efficient and public-minded; they did not receive in Mayor Breening's first administration, the appointments which they have received in his second. Shall we speak for Mr. Briscoe? Well-Mr. Breening's failure to make appointments during the first term turned thousands of people into the Deacon of the Church Howard W. Jackson was elected mayor. These same Ngoreng bottlers came near re-electing Mr. Jackson. In appreciation of the vote which did stick by Mayor Breening, he has made these several appointments. A MOUNT of efficiency could have earned Mr. Breening his appointment except for the bottlers. It is worth to remember that. Keeping Quiet An anonymous correspondent berates the AFPO-AMERICAN for a news article that denies suspension of a boy and a student in the local junior high school for unbecoming conduct. Despite the fact that no names were given, and the fact that the young people who were guilty of violating the rules of the school and common decey, our correspondent writes us that the incident should have passed Despite the fact that no names were given, and no effort made to brand the young people who were guilty of violating the rules of the school and common decency, our correspondent said the incident should have passed without mention. America suffers more than any civilized land from prudery, from sex ignorance and venereal diseases. During the war, the nation was startled to learn the prevalence of social diseases when drummers were trained by Army physicians. Then the nation went to work. In booklet, in lecture and by moving pictures, Ucman-Sam set out to clean up. Since the war, interest has lagged again. Sex the drummers, it is picked up by boys and girls on the street corners. In parent-teachers associations, study of sex and the adolescent period is taboo. No effort is made to learn or discuss methods involved.

The Negro Has Never Had A Corner On Witch Doctors. To the Editor: Once upon a time, superstition was thought to be confined unreservedly to the Negro, race. Recent events have brought to our minds the fact, that practically everywhere, and in every race, there is a certain amount of given superstition. The people of France living near the Marmomme, spring, believe that when the waters of this spring gush forth it is a sign of some great change. The French army gushed forth at the beginning of the French substantiated by the fact that the "dry" spring Revolution in 1789, again at the outbreak of the European war in 1870, and its war of blooming again in 1881, were still in force. The army was signed to flow, until the Armistice was signed. Some of the inhabitants of Ireland believe that the Banshee (a female) is the guardian of a member of that family. It is reputed that the night before Shane, an able, fearless warrior came to the Banshee to retrieve an extremely distressing. And so 20 years the natives have placed great stress on the walling of the Banshee to good authority. Germany has given credence to the visit of an apparition in white, apparently a woman, to the house of Hohencolllern. She appeared just before the Kaiser abdicated, recently she visited the house of Hohencolllern. She appeared just before the Kaiser abdicated, recently she visited the house of Hohencolllern.

Yet they are bound hand and foot by ignorance, hoodoism and witchcraft, and superstitions, children in the cradle, nursed into them from their mother's breast. The law cannot wipe out this condition, for it has become a part of the people. We are shaking off our superstitions, and gaining equal footing intellectually with the more enlightened races.

To the Editor: I am a member of a Bible class, and an interrogation has arisen to a great argument. wish it settled, and feel thoroughly convinced myself. The question I wish to put before you to publish for further information is to ask between her second son, Abel, and her third son, Seth? If so, I wish you gentlemen would please oblige me by telling me just where I find it in the Bible. My theory is this: If Eve didn't have any daughters within this period of time, there were other people on earth the same time she nursed into them in the garden. I am the Father. I am a member of a Bible class, and an instruction has arisen to a great argument. I wish to have it settled, and feel thoroughly convinced myself.

Japanese Medical Student At Hopkins University Asks "What's Inferior to Whom and Why?"— Not What A Man Looks Like, But What He Is, That Counts. To the Editor: In races of the world are not inferior, they are simply different. This statement, made by Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of the Stanford University, is both the cause of a better understanding between the races, which by the way, is one of the most vital problems in the world today. It is not that the races are not admit that the races are even different. We do not admit it because we do not believe it. Different in the color of the skin, yes, differ- ent in stage or average age, certainly in the particular home in which the stork may happen to leave one, yes, different in customs due to the preceding genera- tions, but different in human beings. But different as human beings; no! Hearts and souls—the same. In every quality that makes a man a man. In all that God knows, in all that human generations or less, of different races with exactly the same opportunities, raised under exactly the same conditions, in exactly the same environment, with education raised the same, would make all equally human. Racial prejudice is based on the assumption that it is the color of the skin that makes the man ignorant and manigent of one race to consider himself superior to the best educated, most cultured and most exemplary man of any race, conveniently enough that all races other than his own come within the classification of inferior. But it is not what a man looks like that really counts, but what he is. A train robber or a murderer may be educated and most exemplary, but hardly be held superior to some of the so-called inferior race who are poor and ignorant, yet hard working and honest. Nor can they be held superior to those and cultured person of one race who is not a train robber or a murderer is superior to the hard working man, however poor might, possibly be. This depends a great deal, more perhaps than some of the most fortunate ones appreciate, upon the particular home in which you live. Education and culture are thrust upon him, they come easy, but if in the man's hovel, one may never have a chance to obtain an education or acquire culture, he may do a man's work here for all of that, he may make the world better for having lived in it, he may scatter smiles, good humor and kind words to his fellowmen, and be the author of good works all through, and although not always a little about it, he may be well pleased with him. It is difficult for even the man accaimed by the world as the most successful to be superior to this man who did his best with the only tools God gave him. Old St. Peter will best able to judge who is inferior to him. God will draw no color line, for "HE HATH MADE OF ONE BLOOD ALL NATIONS OF MEN". In the meantime we will be making the most of our opportunity to prove that God the mote in the other fellows eye that we may judge our inferior, take advantage of opportunities that offer to try to understand all and all, and that will help the other fellow, the more unhappy we will be. Finally, we will want to go to war. But the more we try to understand him, and the more we assist and encourage him, the more we will love him. It seems like God arranged it that way. Many elements enter the question of what man is superior to this man, and ourselves we believe the honor should fall to those individuals who do most to make the world a happier place to live and in that the point whether an individual be white, black, yellow, or green has nothing to If the study of Jesus has not destroyed the myth of white superiority, or any other myth based exclusively on our own, He has not been studied right, and He needs more studying. No one is right to be consoled, and least of all to be tainted with tint of his skin. The wisest of what ever color knows little. Life and death are riddles, as much so to the most learned as to most ignorant, we don't know what we are, and when we came, where we go when we leave. A few pretend to know, but they do not know, and judging by their trance out, to remain here, are not very anxious to find out. But if any one thing in the scheme of life seems evident, we don't put here to prove, but to serve others. It surely cannot be expected of us that we shall be perfect, or that all of us must be great. We need people who need our high. Life is made up of little things. If we are vain, if we try to make others think that we are better than us, we must be careful in our daily intercourse with our fellman, if we are selfish and think only for ourselves, we are not only of us in the world, but the world would be better off had we LIFE AND DEATH Just a little tiny light.

LIFE AND DEATH If the Senate is going to inquire into Perry Howard's bank account, it might also make public the finances of its own members and the bank accounts of members of the House. The United States Senate during the past few years has resolved itself into an inquisitorial bureau to pry into the personal and official acts of alleged wrong doers. One of the numerous senatorial inquiries has revealed the startling information that the Honorable Perry W. Howe, as present suspended from his position on account of charges of political graft, has deposited to his personal account the financial salary during the past two years. Perry prying into personal affairs is sought to be justified by the expected inference that the discrepant amount was derived from the state of Mississippi. As national committeeman, he is accused of imposing a tribute upon those whom Ordinarily, it would not seem surprising that it would be important to add substance, the transferring of his affairs from one city to another, might involve a considerable amount of communication and transference. The committee has indeed launched upon a most important account of the disclosure of private accounts of senators, representatives of officials would make interest in embarrassing readings, has come to Washington a poor man, without any other visible means of support except his pittable salary difference. How does it so happen that a Negro official is picked out by whom to lodge a complaint known and widespread discrepancy? Sinister Purpose There does seem to be a subtle sinister purpose somewhere to disinform political control and management. Well nigh every colored man who has functioned effectively in manipulation has been placed under the opprobrium of reputed corruption. Ben Davis, sometime national commentator, has been charged similar to his Mississippi counterpart. This doughty Georgian withdrew from the party, allowing that either he or any other colored man who aspired for such leadership would be Walter Cohen, surveyor of the Port of New Orleans, formerly a moving power in Louisiana politics, and for violating the national prohibition law. R. R. Church, the fearless leader in Tennessee politics, is sought and committed with like charges of corruption. DePriest Oscar DePriest, congressman-elect from Chicago, must await the outcome of a plea to assume his seat with security. And now Tom Fleming, the veteran political local lord of Cleveland and aspirant for national recognition, has been appointed in office. Can it be a mere coincidence that practically every Negro politician who exerts political influence is facing deep public humiliation? It seems bewilderingly curious that this off-colored political contingent should, at this polling place, be a sudden, sudden, sudden, calcium light of public scrutiny turned upon their dark nook of the political equation. One need not be the politician, the apologist for evil deeds, nor yet a believer in the angelic purity of politicians, white or black, to have these grave and disquieting queries Oil Why is there not a corresponding proportion of white offenders in the country, supposed to be models of political purity as compared with their black partners in the game of chess? The President's cabinet smelled of the alleged stench of oil. Have the white strong men in the country or have they developed a finer technique, while their black yoke fellows with their martialistic skills or have they developed a corruption? No guilty man should escape; but public righteousness and wrong doing should not be complicated with race nor crime with Too Powerful You cannot indict the white race. It is too powerful. It is charged of political unworthiness is not confined to the evil doer but attaches to and trains the blacks. The civil scandal is explained to the satisfaction of the people, when some of the wrongdoers in the department does not even attack the Republican party of which they were members, much of whom belong. With a dependent minority group is otherwise, if he is so minced, can find plausible excuse for not giving the Negro recognition in high stations by the presence of those who have been welled and alleged to be found wanting. It is probable that the attitude between the black and white wrongdoer which gives the Negro as well grave con- Hidden Hand There is undoubtedly a hidden hand somewhere concealed behind the shadow of secrecy in Nigro from terminated lawyers in Nigro from the goal of one hundred per cent of American citizenship and prerogative. It is a cunning philosophy in the higher types of service, especially where he functions among and for white people. Every Negro doctor who discharges a decoctal office, every lawyer who betrays his trust to his client, every Negro doctor who honors the standard of the profession, every functional function who fails in his function serves to encourage the accomplishment of this evil purpose. Politician The Negro politician has been all but excluded from the public service. High places, he has given him will probably know him no more within the immediate or early future, but he has not bowed down to Baal, and that sunny scores are left who have withstood the scent of the slave. He is not based upon the exceptional man, but upon the average. If too large a percentage prove unworthy, the risk is too great to experiment with the possibility of isolating the exceptional man, unless he is a man of his class is normally seen. Symbols I have said some time ago that I have been told that political distress are symbols. This generation may not again see a New Yorker. If Perry Howard or Ben Davis are condemned, the race is contested. If they are condemned for this reason that every right minded Negro is keenly concerned they are not be condemned unjustly.

Africans Say: (An African Preverb) A man who is abused on the street puts his hand up. But where shall a man go who is being abused in his own home? Grant and the Jews While Gen. U. S. Grant was commander of the Department of the Army, he ordered a sweeping order on December 17, 1882, from his headquarters at Holly Springs, Miss. "The Jews, as we see them, were the trade established by the Treasury Department and also the department orders, are hereby ordered to receive the 24 hours from the receipt of this order." order was designed to stop illicit trading, especially in cotton. Thousands of traders and peddlers followed the Federal army and pursued them from North at a large rooftop. Some of the illicit traders were probably not. It was merely customary in the Federal army to speak of it, and it was probably in that sense that Grant used the term in his order. Be that as it may, he refract. On January 17, 1883, he issued the following order from his headquarters at Holly Springs, "General-in-chief of the Army, at Washington, the general order from these headquarters is hereby revoked."

Inquiring Reporter THE QUESTION: Following their regular class dance in the Douglass High School gymnasium, a group of mid-year graduates staged a dinner dance at a local hotel. The dance closed at 4:30 a.m. Should parents have allowed these boys and girls to hold such a dance? Miss Louise Gaskins, 1338 W. Lafayette avenue: "I will admit the supervised class dance held at the Douglass High school gym was quite a recreation for the girls and boys, but I will admit for four years and looked forward to that one great night, the parent should allow the student such a privilege." Miss Neomi Morsell, 807 Edmondson avenue, declared, "Owing to the fact that she has looked forward to the particular gala night" for four years, the parent should allow that much liberty to dance, or she has learned to set routines. Miss Helen Pitts, 1303 Druid Hill avenue: "Why not? This is known as the 20th century, so one has to live up to the age. If parents will not consent to such things the child is very likely to do it without the consent." William Keck, 1061 W. Lexington street: "Personally, I am opposed to such affairs for minors. Even when there are chaperons. I have known students to conduct themselves in an unbecoming way after graduation. I think a more reasonable hour should be selected." V. Scotland, 417 W. Hoffman St.: "I do not think parents should allow their children to conduct an affair of this sort every week, but graduation is an exceptional affair and occasion; therefore, they should be granted more liberty." Leon Travers, 1109 Lanvale street: "I believe that parents should be considerate and allow their children to do some of the things they desire, but to an extent." James Wilson, 504 Dolphin street: "Parents should allow their children unbound liberty after four years of hardships and study. Graduation from high school happens once in a life time." J. A. Walker, 1934 Eighth street, Washington; No. I do not think that students should be drenched to keep such late hours. I realize that the spirit of the present generation is liberally, but if we are not for progress we are not for such things should be prohibited." Frank D. McKinney, 1938 F street. Frank D. McKinney disapprove of parents allowin' their children to stay out late in this fashion but I don't guess that my disapproval is genuine. I agree that conduct of some of the parents I have seen." A. A. Poole, Washington: "Why should they be out at such hours, but what examples do they have that would urge them to be more careful? Creston Wellingst, Lafayette Theatre: "I feel that high school students or recent graduates are doomed to impair their physical condition and warp their morals, which is a result of such conduct. One o'clock at late noon is long enough for college." Iona McCarthy, Royal Theatre: The present age demands that children be taught the ten or twenty back. While at first the high school student may do harm to the teacher, she will believe that the glaucoma wears off 1 in 10 before he is able to do permanent injury. Miss Bessie Lawrence, 1515 Pennsylvania avenue: "I think that the question of how late the glaucoma is a matter for their parents to attend to. The proper function of a school is to behave during school hours. After school, the teacher, in no way, should be held accountable for the child's behavior." Mrs. Mary Thompson, Chase, Md.: "No school child has any business staying up until four o'clock in the morning unless it is a question of sickness or death." Clarence B. Ross, 1420 McCulloch street: "The generation coming up now is more able to take care of itself than children some years back. Sixteen-year-old children are often wiser, smarter and more careful than their parents." Mrs. Suste Peed, 1024 E. Monument street: "It is impossible for parents to prevent high school students from holding such affairs, but they should at least forbid them to attend, should they be given." Mrs. Nathan Carroll, 2128 Druid Hill avenue: "Parents should strenuously object to their children attending any affair that would keep them out until 4:30 in the morning. It is out of the question, nevertheless, for them to sanction a school affair which would keep them out Morris Johnson, Knights Columbus Club: "Nowadays it is a common thing for children to ask the teacher the wee hours. I think, though, that if parents exerted the proper amount of pressure, the question would be settled without the least trouble." Mrs. Bertha Bowie, 1018 W. Vale drive, when first read, but when the situation is looked into, the truth is that they are doing their last hour business happening to students, to mean any good to them in the future. There is something like keeping such hours. The truth is, they not only stay late, but they drink, smoke and take their really make for old student's." Does the Bible Say Angels Have Wings? (From Pathfinder) Nowhere in the new Testament are angels spoken of in the Bible, but in vision on Patmos John the Apostle 'heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven' The popular notion that faithful Christians after death receive two wings is not justified by any passage in the Bible. Isaiah describes cherubim (12:12) and the cherubim that Ezekiel saw four wings. (Ezek. 1:11). The cherubim at the ends of the covenant seat in the ark of the covenant (Exod. 25:20), as well as those of olive oil (Exod. 8:24), had two wings each. These references to images of cherubs are the only order are referred to in the Bible as two-winged creatures. The scholars suppose that the Hebrew borrowed their ideas of winged seraphim and cherubim from the Hebrew hawk's heads on the walls of their buildings, and whose palaces were guarded by winged bulls and Farm Lands The astute Melvin Chisum, a graduate of the American Club Saturday, staled the most vital problems facing us at the present: time was short and the land was abandoned by the thousands of acres. He advocates organization to have young men and women of all ages invest in a five acre acreage for future use, and we agree with him. The rate can be secure in an economical way, which they are degrated, unless they own sufficient land to produce all the necessities of the South which can be bought for $25 per acre—what some young high school grads spend for a light 10-year loan from now this and will have increased material in value. Here are some business men. Organize a country land corporation and become rich. But what do most of our young businessmen do? They will have ten years from now? Now Keep It Up Mr. Business Man The business men who exhibited their wares at Trinity A. M. E. church this week have made an important beginning, Mayor Brocking and Secretary of the Association of Commerce, (eorge J. Clayhouse, told the Group in opening the affair Monday night. Now keep it up. Unfortunately our councilmen, Walter S. Emerson and Warner T. McGuinn, on program for responses, round it impossible to attend. The meeting, however, started off with unusual interest and many business men and women sought both space in vain during the last few days before opening. Although thousands of people learned for the first time that many kinds of businesses were being conducted by the group, the real education, as a result of the exhibit, will come: the business men themselves. Other lessons will come to those in the ministerial and teaching leadership, which will have to learn that they have more vital duty in the community than to preach sermons and teach lessons. The immediate future, if not the actual fate, of the Negro lies in cooperative economic development. What the business men of Baltimore, and every other city, must yearn for is that they must be on the job of going out after the business of the group. They must let the ex-merchant program to sell more goods, expand and increase their employing capacity. They must keep their employees organized and spend more and more money to put their women before the buying public. They must power salesmanship as well as high-powered automobiles. Big business concerns hire experts to keep their businesses cannot expect to keep in the running unless they follow suit. Getting The Spirit Of Cooperation We might as well be frank with ourselves. Baltimore has been too crowded to live in town. There are some interests which concern us individually and some others which may do to do harm to our fellow citizens. This is natural; but there are also spheres where all interests converge. We must spirit to brush all others aside and unite for the common good. We only the butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker, the doctor, the lawyer, the prescriber, and teacher should be vitally involved in the business of the group. While historians have not all agreed as to just what brought the greatest wrought havoc with that greatest of all civilizations the wrought wrought can be no question that something wrought havoc with that greatest of all civilizations the wrought wrought can be on the catechism and why? Prohibition. Here in America, a nation supposed to be at the zenith of power and prestige seems to be on the catechism and why? Prohibition. Few people realize just what the forces for and against our presidents are, to be on our country. Our gang wars, involving officials supposed to uphold law and order, are merely violent eviction. The police which shows the deep seated extent of the malady. THERE CAN'T BE NO QUESTION, THERE CAN'T BE NO WRITER, THAT UNLESS THERE EVOLVES A STRONG STATESMANSHIP TO THE MALAYSIA NATION SITUATION IN AMERICA. OUR COUNTRY IS DOOMED. The situation has far outgrown the mere question of alcoholic liquors. It is now eating at the very vitalals of the principles of law and order in the American govern Many of our states, Maryland for instance, have truly a strong question of prohibition as did the states of the South on the slavery question. A timely war, as good as 1861, will be applied to 61, but there no hope of a war to settle the prohibition question today. The technical law on the books of the United States, our administrative and judicial machinery is standing by and shooed off but air and against the statute. A Whole Crop Of Human Lawlessness In the meantime our social fabric is being saturated with the most insidious and most dangerous kind of lawlessness the human race has ever known. Parents, with their cellar stocked with illicit beverages and their bodies numbed by brew are by example teaching offspring to snap their fingers at thousands of speakestyles leading journals are openly asking defiance of the law. The present generation of men and women have tasted blood of licentiousness to a de-unparalleled, and unless history not to repeat itself America is certain to follow in the wake of Rome. Sodom and Gomoroh. Either the law should be amended, or the Government should enforce it to the letter if it took every soldier in the land to do it and if the bootleg industry should have to be shot and beaten out of the country like poisonous snakes. While it was the most foolish of all things for lawmakers to believe they could regulate such a moral principle by statute, the only thing now to do is to enforce it or change it. Local College Dramatic Stars Signed For N. Y. Work --- MORGAN PLAYERS GET OVATION IN NEW YORK MORGAN PLAYERS GET OVATION IN NEW YORK BY NATHANIEL GARLAND NEW YORK. — The first college club to venture a regular theatrical engagement, the gan players, were joined with a capacity and enthusiastic audience in their presentation of three one-act plays at the Alhambra Theater, Friday In its premiere of the plays before discriminating play-goers like the Harlemites, the club achieves notable historic apprehension of the audience. Apparently after apprehension followed the acts. THE HOUSE OF SHAM By Willis Richardson The Ruling Passion Coupons Reason (Cast of characters in order of appearance) Dr. Bill Holland. Mrs. Joan Cooper. Nellie C. Henry Mrs. Joan Cooper. Dorothy A. Mitchell Lind Cooper. Hol Ford. Joseph W. Bostle John Cooper. Walter L. Smith John H. Sundy As an entertainment, John H. Sundy of Sham, the most play, was perhaps the interplay of clemental human passions—prior and ambition—against opposing street life, with a mind as the central genius. It is the familial story of the gold digging mother, of her daughters, of her daughters to marry them for money and two bank-rups her husband in her social am- bitons. The crisis comes when a defrauded client of Mr. Cooper, impoverished to desperation, demands the return of his life. $500. Though Joyce and Hal are the heroes or the play Mrs. Cooper seems to hold the center of interest, she her sheer position of calculating, enterprising and wife who infuriates masters every arising situation affecting her purpose and interest of her family, she fings herself on the husband and the sweetening revolver it is whether she does it for love of him or to frustrate the client that she might yet carry out her plans. Characters Play We. It would be difficult to improve any improvement, who played the part of Mrs. Cooper, is an able player, having fire, charm, vivacity and a keen of the dramatic power of her part. Gatsby was also well having a voice to advantage and looking the role to a degree. F. Carlton Moss played well the part of the young ambitious prisonist seeking a maiden's love. Miss Elizabeth her role was the final analysis of the supercilious and sophisticated daughter seeking to perpetuate her ease and style and professional and marriage. THE MAN WHO DID AT 12:00 O'CLOCK BY PAUL GREEN The oldest insists the newest kind of wayne Kesapekis Evan Evan.....Allen P. Koger Charlie.....James D. Carr January Evan.....James D. Carr Preservation of the "Man Wo: Died at Twelve," Miss Allen P. Koger scored in the part of Sallie Evan, a rustic girl loving with a purple and forward love her indigent and unenergetic swain Charlie she holds to his promise marry he for the protests of a jealous guardian A true note of primitive Negro psychosis is struck when Sallie, in soils and waits, sees the face of her hearing the hen crowing as an omen of his death, of seeing hell hounds flying in the air and swooping over him, when Charlie, appearing dressed as the devil at the old man's bed, draws from him a prayer of forgiveness, the hiding place of the money and his consent to the act. The play is particularly appealing as showing the ingenious mind of a rustic girl triumphing over that of a bumplin and a seasoned old man. SIRLOCK BONES A FARCE COMEDY BY RANDOLPH EDMONDS "How much lies in laughter"—Carlley. "The play is the audience of the audience a hardy and enjoyable vehicle. S. Randolph Edmonds of the faculty of Morgan College, author of the play has created a comedy rich in humor." The story of the old rich husband and pretty young wife with many friends whom she continues to admire, and the out cropping of crooks among her guests who attempt to rob her house and finally murder a confederate, has struck him with an armor, and the role of "Stirlock Bones," the hero detective, it must be said that he played with fine originality and verve, exploiting to the full every detail of the story. The essence of the comedy was caught by the whole cast, with John H. Gundy as Elbert Hale, Frances C. H. Gundy as Edward, as Edward, Joseph W. Bostic as Dan, Osborne B. Dixon as Morty, Edward G. Carroll as "Doc" Weston, Walter L. Smith as James, Mary P. Dunn as John, and G. Henry, Dorothy A. Mitchell and Mrs. Fanida Pendelton as guest. Costumes All the characters were appropriately costumed, from the proud mistress of the aristocratic drawing room to the old man, to the slothful all the country ploughman. Having all the stage facilities of first rate playhouse, the scenes were well appointed. Mrs. Shirley G. McCann, head of the department of rusic at the college, expressed to the audience Morgan's appreciation of their interest in the $100,000 stone fire-proof dormitory purpose of the club for venturing the performance to raise funds towards the $100,000 stone fire-proof dormitory construction on the college grounds. "Morgan College" she said, "is doing a great work. Its graduates are admitted without condition to America, and are holding with credit positions in high schools and colleges." The entire production was under the direction of S. Randolph Edmonds, the stage manager, the stage, was given an ovation at Mrs. McCann's mention of him.

SHE IS THREE THIS is little Miss Loretta De Shields, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward De Shields, 1434 Presstman street, who celebrated her third birthday on St. Valent's Day. MUSIC AND PEP TALK FEATURE AFRO CLUB Glascoe Orchestra, Geo. Bias, Ambrose Smith, In Mammoth Program "MEL" CHISM TALKS Greatest Race Newspaper The of George Bias, local tenor and Columbia record artist, accompanied by Ambrose Smith, and the playing of rhythmic dance tunes by Perey Glascoe and his Plantation Orchestra, constituted the special features at the AFRO Club, Saturday noon. "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," "That Old Girl Of Mine," and "Sally Of My Dreams," were the numbers put over effectively by Mr. Blas in his very pleasant soft tenor voice, while "Doing the Raccoon," "I'm Sorry Sally," "Farewell Blues," "Louisiana Bo" and "I Guitar Give You Anything But Love," were on the program of the Plantation orchestra. The two latter numbers were played as encores after the music boys had enjoyed their plaque while "Old Girl Of Mine," was sung by Mr. Blas, as an encore. As speaker of the day, Melvin J. Cohen, Jr. served for the Insul Corporation in that city, complimented the APRO officials and the greatest race week in the world. Mr. Chisum also stressed the point, that the AFRO is the largest of the two race papers employing all race papers. Mr. Chisum blazed the speaker lauded the singer on his exceptional ability and his original way in putting over his songs. That the AFRO is the greatest paper because it has never been mercenary, but it has always been foundation by the founder, was also emphasized by Mr. Chisum. Ambrose Smith Back Filling another very prominent spot in the musical end of the program was, Ambrose Smith, Baltimore pianist, who has has been the subject of almost ten years. Mr Smith plueda medley of popular numbers for the approval of the club, which brought thurderous music to the audience. A member of Bob Young's band, Mr. Smith played various engagements in Europe a few years ago.

In this picture, the star is seen as the oldest of three orphans in a tenement home. Her sister is brazen and unappreciative, but Fannie's time is devoted to caring for her and for the little brother. She works in a theatrical costuming factory, and one day, on the way to work, is fascinated by a husk; youth who is demonstrating an exerciser in a drug store window. He later, out of job and half-starved, forages in the icebox of Pannie's home. She at once forges him, invites him into share the meal with her small brother, and falls desperately in love with him. He, rather unwillingly, is finally led into a proposal of marriage. The wedding is about to take place and Pannie is in her bridal finery when she find her sister in the arms of the man she is about to marry. In sudden fury she drives them out. Pannie has often entertained workers at the factory with her gift, and now, through the intervention of a friend—she has a chance to appear on the stage—and it is out of her grief that she acts as never before. Other complications, such as the sister's infatuation for a mid-aged roue, and her desertion of Fannie, add to the absorbing interest of the story. The bit UFA mystery play, "Spies," a tale of espionage, has been secured by the F.A.A. for its grippy grain. This German production concerns the machinations of an international banker trying to gain power in the disorganized countries of the world, and their attempts to sign a treaty to assure their action in unison. The plot is complicated, involving train wrecks, bombings, and a police raid in a maquette of a saucer soy, as well as other bits of a venturous action. Rudolph Klein-Rogge, termed the Continental Lon Chaney, has the leading role as master mind. **ANKLE BROKEN** Working at Pier one, Licht street, David Saunders, 42, 35 E.

Among local musicians there have from time to time appeared families which have over a long period, sometimes连续 exhibited musical aptitude of a high and varied order. East Baltimore has been extremely productive of musical families, many of whom are identified with the musical history and development of our city is the Stanley family. Luther C. Mitchell, now an organist of exponent of the Stanley family. The Woolford family has given to the world some very musical personalities. The Woolford family has always been well known for its gifted musicians, the late John Dunges was ar. organist virtuoso in his day and his brother, Mr. Charles Dunges, has for many years been at Bethel. A.M.E. Church, which post he has filled with distinction. Many of our present-day local musicians are related directly to these local family stocks or have received instruction, encouragement, and inspiration from and through the lives of those sterling musicians of Speaking of the musicians of the type just mentioned, widely brings to mind the violinist, the violinist and composer who for many years worked untringly in the interest of good music here in Baltimore and spent time, labor and money helping the younger musicians generation to gain musical training. Mr. Briscoe was born in California but was brought to Baltimore in infancy. His early life was marked by theological thought in being by his father, who himself was a musician of more than passing note. Later he was taught by the leading music teachers to be found. Worst of all, he was educated his educational education. Mr. Briscoe led the choir at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. He also organized a large concert orchestra which played standard music of the masters in fine Mr. Briscoe was a thorough drill master and the playing of his orchestra often received the commendations of commendation at the best critics of commendation to local daily papers. For many years under his splendid leadership the choir at St. Francis was a first class music organist. Frank had a able support of his sister, Mrs. Tressa Briscoe Stewart, as organist. Mrs. Stewart, the possessor of a music organ, had a voice often served in the dual capacity of contralto solist and accompanist. Mr. Briscoe also had a brother who was a 'cellist of much ability' and who was the late Ambrose Briscoe appeared to have passed on to his grand-phew, I Edward Weaver, Jr. who gives much of the becoming a violinist of distinction. Are We Losing? Kennard Williams, who has the uncanny knack of getting at the root of conditions in the theatrical and musical world, surely has spoken truthfully and painfully to the point, when he openly deplores the apparent lethargy of our musical promoters. A few days ago Mrs. Ruth Lee McAbbey._one of our musical leaders, spoke in the same vein. Too much "temperament" on the part of many of our musicians is largely responsible for the lack of any real musical groups among our adults. We have four quartette of singers together without finding at LEAST FOUR out of the QUARTETTE who find it difficult to get their particular type of vocal efforts to blend to their own voice. We have voices of other members of eh group. Petty jealousies, provincial and clamish devotion to some particular voice teacher and his "method," unwillingness to work with other members of our musical work without giving at least two public performances; the desire to build up musical units based on sentiment and personal friendship, to have some occasion of occasion to the present development of choral groups. There is, however, a bright side to the somewhat glorious picture.

NEGRO station; engineers and 321,000 whites. WASH, D. C., — Senator William C. Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, asked Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, in the course of the latter's remarks in the Senate last Wednesday, whether any Negro in South Carolina has ever been given the opportunity to show whether or not he would fall asleep as a locomotive engineer. Senior Please answered that coloured men had been put on engines as engineers and in cotton mills, and the roar of the machinery had put them to sleep. Put To Sleep The question of Senator Bruce was eticked by the remarks of Senator Blease that there was: no fear of the establishment of cotton mills. South Carolina on account of Negro labor. The Negro can not work in the cotton mills, he said. "The hum of the machinery puts him to sleep. There does not come in competition with our white people in that line of work. Actual Fact (?): "Some of you may think that is curious, said Senator Blease, "but the actual fact. It has tested. The actual fact. In the cotton mills of the south, and they can not stand the swish-swash of the big machinery. He Offers Proof. As proof he said, "take an engineer. If you put a colored man on an engine and let him fire it, he will stay awake all day and a good part of the night, if his dutys come in. The engineer's seat and tell him to put his eyes on the rail, and that big, old engine will to sway, in 30 minutes you will have a very quiet sleepy engineer. That is why the Negro is supposed to be an engineer on a railroad." Blease's Bill Defeated At the time Blease was speaking on his visit to the Farm Lean Board, and on the Carway bill to prevent the sale of cotton and grain in future markets, which was purchased in the Senate last Thursday.

Capital Speculates As To What Hoover Will Say March 4th. Whether Inaugural Address Will Deal With Negro Program And Lynching RICHMOND,VA. MAYOR IS DUMB SAYS N.A.A.C.P. City Official Firm In Determination to Sign Segregation Ordinance TAKE IT TO COURT HE ADVISES THEM Slight Exercise. Of Intelligence, Say Johnson, Will Save City Money NEW YORK.—An acrimonious exchange of telegrams between the N. A. A. C. P. and the Mayor of Richmond, Virginia, reveals the determination of Richmond to enact a residential segregation ordinance in defiance of the U. S. Supreme Court. There is also the equal determination of the N. A. A. C. P. to carry the issue before the courts. The exchange of telegrams, which tells the entire story, between James Weldon Johnson, for the N. A. A. C. P. and Mayor J. Fulmer, Bright of Richmond, is as follows: Johnson's Wire From the N. A. A. C. P. to Richmond's mayor. "We have been informed that the Board of Aldermen has passed a Residential Segregation Ordinance which is now before you for signature. May we call to your attention the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Buchanan v. Warley, 245 U. S., 60, declared in 1917 that *enforced Residential Segregation* by municipal ordinance is unconstitutional. "This decision nullified virginian passions and other cities. In 1927 the United States Supreme Court reaffirmed this principle in the case of Joseph W. Tyler v. Ben-Harmon. The National Association for the Advancement of Women may alteration as mayor of Richmond to these Supreme Court decisions suggests, in the interest of economy, that the city of Richmond may be saved money through, your refusal to sign what you believe to be an unconstitutional ordinance. "We wish also to advise you that we will consider it incumbent upon us, should the ordinance he signed will nullify this latest attempt to do that which the highest court in the land has said is unconstitutional." Mary R. Reynolds To this telegraph Mayor Bright sent the following reply to the N. A. A. C. P. "The racial segregation ordinance will be approved by the House, as drawn in the best印象 it are entirely within their rights interest of both races. Those who on having the courts pass upon its constitutionality" Dumb The N. A. A. C. P. upon receipt of this telegram promptly replied to Mayor Bright as follows: "Acknowledge your request for February which you concede right of opponents of segregation ordinance to have courts test its constitutionality." Of intelligence on the part of Richmond municipal government would have revealed to it that courts have already held such ordinances unconstitutional and that the fundamental law of land laid down by United States Supreme Court."

C., Feb—President-elect Herbert Hoover returned to the Capital of the Nation Tuesday afternoon and immediately speculation switched from Cabinet forecasting to conjectures on statements he will make in his inaugural address. The selection of his Cabinet and his inaugural address are still unfinished. As has been his policy regarding his Cabinet selections, Mr. Hoover has taken only a few people into his confidence and forecasts as to what he will say after he takes the cath of office on March 4 are speculation. The Negro It is regarded, however, as not likely that he will single out the Negro for special mention as did his predecessors, the late President, Harding and President Coolidge. In his speech of acceptance after his nomination at Kansas City and in his campaign speeches he avoided any special mention of the Negro. It is thought that he will carry out this policy in his inaugural address and his message to the Congress. If he has not been, he will be urged to incorporate into his inaugural address a commitment to the suppression of lynching with reference to the crimes of the time. A tim of this crime. An encomium on the progress of the American Negro since his emancipation may be included in the inaugural address, but it is very doubtful. Mr. Hoover has shown no inclination to take a stand and election to praise inexorably the Negro for political effect. Repetition A repetition of his pronouncement at Elizabeth, Tennessee, during the campaign that only persons commanding the respect of their respective communities will be appointed to office may say, "This would mean that there would be no appointments of colored persons to offices in the South. If he should repeat this statement in his inaugural address, it will have a determination not to irritate the appointment of colored persons. Dr. Moton As far as is known only one colored person has talked with Mr. Hoover since his election. He was Dr. Robert R. Motin, principal of mustersee. He Hoover shortly before the latter left Washington on his Florida trip. The subject of their conference was not made public. Dr. Scott It is not unlikely, however, that Dr. Emmett Motin has communicated to Mr. Scott expressing his views as to what should be contained in the inaugural address as far as colored Americans are concerned. A safe conjecture is that Dr. Scott has maintained that Mr. Hoover a statement to be included in the inaugural address. Wife, White Hubby Buried Together MUSCATINE, Ia. — The body of William.

C., Feb.-A记 a recess of four weeks, the Supreme Court, of the United States reconvened Monday and handed down decisions in 24 cases, but the Shrine case, which has been under advisement awaiting decisions by that court, was not one of them. The court handed down 19 written opinions in 24 cases, and Chief Justice John Roberts ordered opinions. The cases were ordered restored to the docket for reargument. In one case a petition for a writ of mandamus was denied. One case was dismissed for failure simply with the 'rule' of the court. The Shrine case was argued Jan- NEW CONGRESS TO CHALLENGE DEPRIEST'S SEAT Moral Fitness Or Graft Charge To Be Raised Against Chicagoan CASE TO BE REFERRED TO ELECT N COMMITTEE Congressman-elect May Be Kept Out As Long As Possible WASHINGTON, D. C. Oscar DePriest, Representative-elect from the first congressional district of Illinois, will present his credentials when Congress is convened in extraordinary session in April, it is believed in congressional circles here. When Mr. DePriest presents his credentials, his right to a seat in the House will be immediately challenged and he will be asked to step aside while the oath is being administered to other new members. His case will be referred to the committee on elections for investigation and report. The oath of office will not be denied Mr. DePriest, it is believed, although it is almost certain that a resolution to that effect will be offered. Two Grounds The grounds upon which the challenge of the right of Mr. De-Priest to his seat in the House will be based, could not be learned. It is thought, however, that it will be upon one of two grounds, either solely upon his indictment on charges of graft in connection with the Chicago primaries of last spring or his moral fitness to be a member of the House. There is no question about Mr. De-Priest possessing the constitutional qualifications as to age, residence and citizenship. Extra Session Soon after inauguration, probably on April 1 and not later than April 15, President-elect Hoover is expected to convene the Congress to discuss administrative policies in force. The Congress will be asked to enact farm and tariff legislation, hearing his impress. He wants the farm bill made law at the earliest possible moment to help stabilize the market for the 1929 crop. He wants the tariff bill which must be increased to offset the heavy drain of new Federal projects. Mrs. Bethune To Celebrate DAYTONA.

NEWS OF BALTIMORE The City of a Million Population by 1935 Philly Widow Swears 73- Year-Old White Sweet- heart Courted 3 Years CALLED HER SUNSHINE OF HIS O W N LIFE PHILADELPHIA, Pa. After losing a breach of promise suit against a 73-year-old sweetheart, Frank Thees, white, Mrs. Martha Washington, widowed and 47, appealed to a local paper here to help her cause. She sued for $2,000 damages after a three-year courtship. Though Mrs. Washington produced no evidence of this withered old man, with bald pate, paid ardent court to her and copied poems, and wrote honest-to-goodness mucky love-notes, "uproar and Mrs. Washington, who lives at 2801 Cumberland street, sobbed heart-broken, that the spectators might laugh, but it was all pitifully sad to me called m-me the unhappy of his life. The defendant, Frank Thees, who is an insurance collector, living at a job in the army with the jota in the general mirth. The old olthario was denying his love, or that he had ever paid court to Mrs. Washington. He admitted, however, that he had been a consort of the embattled home, home, since the early part of 1927. He had met her he said in 1921, when his own wife was still living. He enquired the home if he had no intentions of marriage, he replied that he collects premiums, and that he enjoyed her cooking and his wines and beer. The plaintiff protested Thees brought his own "spirits." The courtship came to an abrupt end last August just a few days prior to the trial. Martha claims that Frank said he had "changed his mind." Mrs. Washington also states that she had purchased her trousseau to the 400 room on the opposite side. Alexander was courted for the plaintiff. The only vicious part in the whole story is Judge Joseph L. Kunn's statement to the effect that there should be laws in the State of Pennsylvania, preventing inter-marriage. Jury was composed entirely of white men. ALCORN COLLEGE STRIKE SETTLED PORT. GIBSON, Miss. Feb. (ANP) The strike of seven hundred students of Alcorn A. & M.

LIQUQR FLOWS AT MU-SO-LIT ANNUAL DINNER Insurgents Celebrate Victory Over Conservatives On Douglass Day LIQUOR, LADIES, POKER PREVIOUSLY UNDER BAN WASHINGTON, D. C. The annual Lincoln-Douglass celebration at the Mu-So-Lit Club, 1327 R street, northwest, last Saturday evening, was moderately wet, liquors of various kinds from drugstore prescription whiskey to alleged Canadian Club imported by Pullman porters being on hand for those who attended and wished to indulge. The original plan was to have the celebration soakily wet. There were, however, officers and members of the club as well as guests whose positions would be jeopardized by their attendance at an affair where liquor was openly served. There were hurried telephone calls. As a result of compromise was reached. Those who desired and could afford it could bring along their own liquor. Some of the gentlemen present visibly felt good. There was no "passing out." At the end every- one's feet aid able to drive home. Epochal This celebration was to be ephecal It was to mark the victory of the liberal members of the club over the puritanical members. A fight between the two groups has been waged for years. The liberals were temporarily victorious two years ago. But at the end of a year they were defeated by a coalition, personal enmities figuring in the defeat. But at the last election of officers, they were retrained to power and with the celebration of last Saturday night they were to begin to remove some of the restraints that have been in effect at the club since its early days. May Do Anything The putitanal members are satisfied with the club as it has been run. The librarians want it to be made a place where gentlemen may do their business. The members say if any changes are made, they will have to abandon the club because their wives will not let them attend. The librarians reply that if something is not done to attract younger men, the club will be sold at public auction for its debts. ——— The Mu-Su-Lib Club as now run is little more than a basement poolroom where elderly men while away the time awaiting telephone calls from their wives to call for them at the club. The elderly husbands also receive telephone calls at the club that they cannot receive at home. The upper class used except for assembly purposes. Bridge is permitted, but poker and blackjack are barred. The drinking of liquor in the club was frowned upon and had to be done secretly until recently. Ladies Taboo Women in the club are tabooed. There is no such 'thing as ladder' night. Ladies may rent the parlor floor for care nurses in the club as deserted by men, but they must not come below or go above the parlor floor. And by all means, they must be by dusk. At the monthly meetings when prosecution comes into the club even as entertainers. **Auctioneer En Route** Those who have that have liked the liberal members of the club and have been reflected in the annual election of officers. But apparently these restraints cannot be removed unless the latest effort, and the fight between the two elements, liberal and puritanical, seems destined to end only later. The auctioneer has finalized the club's property to the highest bidder. Dinner Speakers The principal dinner speakers were Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Neptune, and Dr. E. J. W. Scott, an attorney. Dr. E. J. W. Scott and Shelton Brooks, master of ceremonies at the Howard Theatre, renamed the theater after the singer and the latter singing, and playing the piano. Ben Bess Case Before S. C.

IN FORM TO WIN, 39-25 Howard Aggregation Fights Hard But Locals' Playing Is Superior SECOND LOSS TO BEARS "Freak" Woods, Howard Captain, Is Kept Scoreless The taste of Bison flesh was pleasing to the organ Bears, Monday night, and they accordingly proceeded to slaughter Howard University by a 39 to 25 score, the victory being the second over the Washingtonians after It was "Pinky" Clarke who started the ball rolling by caging the first basket, less than a minute after firing. Fame is made when the ball was matched by one from the center of the floor by "Rapp" Wheatley. Morgan guarded accurately in this period and the Bears, aided by fouls, pulled away to a three-point lead, only to have the Howardites close up the gap and bring the score up. The half ended with Morgan leading by a 14 to 9 margin, the best work in the period being the floor work of Wheeler Harris and the jockeys. Morgan made five attempts from the free throw mark, while Howard made none out of four attempts. Simpson Out-Jones Arges. During the second half Simpson was banished to sportsmanlike conditions and before leaving the court. Again it was "Pinky" Clarke who opened the half with a double-decker after "Cutie" Brown snaked away to the corner and catch up but the Bears maintained their lead easily. "Lanky" Jones began to "ape" and before the smoke had cleared away had run his tops up to sk baskets and in the evening's Clarke, with a pair of freebies, was pushing the Morgan leader for high scoring honors with 12 points. "Freak" Woods, Howard and star, was well known to closely do anything to score a point during the entire game. Late in the game Coach Taylor sent in his entire second team, Rufus Hackett, graduated from Douglass High School, getting into the High School led the scoring team. Howard with three goals, Simpson, Harris and Hall contributed two each. Morgan Girls Win. In the preliminary contest the Morgan College Girls handily from the Campus Girls by a 21 to 10.

THE PASSING REVIEW By BILL GIBSON THEY EVIDENTLY FORGOT School students, when a stumped Bordoutown basketball game last.

STATION TRUS SIGNS OFF UNTIL Coast Baseball Season Closing THEY EVIDENTLY FORGOT themselves, those Douglass High School students, when a stumped loomed at the close of the Douglass-Bordentown basketball game last Thursday. The team, which had decided to bury some student hurried a brief case filled with books at the office. Seeking the offender Coach Gibson entered the stands and brought forth a boy who is said to have thrown the ball and commanded and the matter evidently settled, some of the Douglass students did not take it way and after the game, which was won by Bordentown, was over, a group of them milled about the high school entrance and made valed threats to the team, who would like to do to the official and members of the Bordentown team. Fortunately enough, good judgment prevailed to prevent any of these threats being carried out, particularly the one that would have the boys break out the windows in the automobiles of the visiting Jerseys. Outbreaks of certain viruses and their infections certainly does not reflect credit on the school. We do know that the ATHLETES at Douglass are schooled in good sportsmanship by their coach. But it seems that the NON-ATHLETES who warm the benches are always the ones to create a disturbance. A rabble of this sort has the makings of a crowd of "mouth fighters." The coach, who is not a teacher, that disturbs the missing a part of their education by not coming in contact with Coach "Duck" Gibson. At least it will be admitted that the boys who have come under his guidance have learned to control themselves and to make scenes unnecessary. It might be a good idea to find out what methods are used in the physical training. Do they do that and put some of them to work in other parts of the school. And by the way, we suggest that in fairness to everyone, Referee Jackson be not used in high school games until he becomes more familiar with official's dutes. WE BREAK A PROMISE when we mention George Godfrey after such a short, breathful call, it is to chuckle this time. sure. You know they matched "Gawge" with Jack Renault for a bout down in sunny Habana, with the thought that the natives, relatively ignorant of the boxing situation, would swallow the bait-hook, sinker, and all. But some squawked when they found out what was in the bag. And mind you when you squawked the promoters with their aid, but with what they were not, the matriarchs in the gentlemen that they would be only too glad to make a change for a more suitable opponent for the Duke of Leiperville. And here is what they said: "We will hook the 'Big Truck' up with either Johnny Risko, the big pie and doughnut man of Cleveland, or will sign him as the head of our matriarchs in the gentlemen that they acquiesce. You are not supposed to laugh until you have read this thru the third time. G TEARING THEIR HAIR, if any, has become a mild pastime for basketball promoters in Baltimore, if you can understand what they say thru their tears. They mean, that the people are not turning out in droses as they used to and the kopeks in the coffers are necessarily sparse. There was a time that when you mentioned the Athenians, you could look for a capacity crowd. With Clark University, one of the biggest college attractions on the court, the Greeks were barely able to see them and the kopeks in their guards. Other games have been equally disconcerting. I am told. Morgan College still remains a drawing card, partly because many students and their friends trek out to see the Bears to play, and partly because the Bears have an unusually good outfit. However, I believe that the Bears are not as good as it is. Fans have been so used to seeing the Bears win that unless an extraordinarily strong opponent is brought here they figure when they see the placards: "Well, just another set-up for Morgan." We've heard them say this. While the difference may be slight it is noticeable that not as many people are attending even the The poor Scholastics have been completely frozen out, chiefly because they could find no place in which to stage their games. Organized rather late, the team found all of the good dates taken and with them staged late, the team found some good dates of staging contests here would be an uphill task. We understand that already the Athenians have sewed up all the good dates for the 1930 basketball season. And of course we must not overlook a very fundamental reason as to why a luxury is being played in the Athenians, because it is believed it is true that the rubles per capita in circulation are somewhat less than they were last year. Consequently, with basketball classed as a luxury by most folks it is to be expected that the strangle hold on the eagle is to be tightened. All of these-causes enter an important part in the development of younger teams playing a pretty fair brand of basketball, and they are only too glad to have fans come out to see them play gratis or for a very small admission charge. The indigo song is in the hind and yet while it rings in my ear I’d swap places with some of the promoters I know. **WHY DON’T YOU WAIL about Eddie Davis and Slim Henderson of Virginia Seminary, J. T. R. of Richmond, “and say something about the game,” and I have a chance to play with the Carlisle Club of Washington?** Last year you were yelping about Professionalism and Amateurism and this year you are just as silent as a clam. How come? R. R. to you and a number of others at the same time. I have made no mention of the number. It is this as we know Messrs. Davis and Henderson are not paid for their playing with the Carlisles, at least we’ve never seen them paid. If they are we don’t know anything about it. In addition we feel that if the teams have made no mention of their objection, that we, back in our little shack here, should be contented. Furthermore we have learned by bitter experience that the way of the reformer is hard, and personally we have no use for hard roads. It is true that last year we joined a number of sports writers in opposing a COLLEGE TEAM playing a PROFESSIONAL team, not being the best of the three, but the best of the team we knew, and still insist, that the principle involved is one worth keeping inviolate, and one which our athletes are going to find more and more important as they broaden their range of competition. If Messrs. Davis and Henderson have committed no wrong that is O. K. with us and if they have, and the schools against which they play are not so strong that the schools are OKMKX also FOR THEM. And I'd like to say to J. T. R. I feel that in addition to the two Seminary players who might need his investigating.

MORGAN TAKES STING FROM YELLOWJACKETS Texas Stars Beaten By 30-26 Score, Friday The Morgan Bears stopped the Community Yellow Jackets to defeat by a 30-26 score but only after the hornets had thrown a few fingers in to the Bears camp, the Browns authorized Friday night. The Yellow Jackets were substituted for the Texas All Star team that failed to appear when they were stranded in Chicago after an automobile accident, Thursday. The Browns authorized shortly before time for the scheduled game to begin. The Morgan Girls who were to play the preliminary game refused to do so when their new suits had been ordered a month prior failed to arrive. Referee Ice Shields gave the signal for the game to start at 10:58 exactly 18 minutes after. Washington teammates. The 600 players who were on hand to witness the battle had been told at the box office that the Cow Boy; team would not play as advertised but many wanted to see the Bears play. "Lanky" Jones, Morgan captain, opened hostilities in the first period when he dropped a bull's eye on the fifteen-footed two, and this play. This was followed by Wheatley fouling Gibbons who made the free throw. Two baskets and one foul goal from Jones, with Wheatley in the net, and a goal from Brown and Clark each, put Morgan on the long end of a 16-5 score at the end of the first half. The little hardship in jerseys caused a little hardship with the players at the beginning **Put In Reserves** The second half Morgan put in her half, in the middle of "Horn" Hokett, lanky Athenian center, who entered Morgan this quarter. Bluford, Tucker: "Babe" Jones, and Garreison; while the Hoketters had their fireworks when he fouled Lee who sank the free throw. Three goals and a foul by Gibbons, two goals Turner with the Hoketters began free throw by Johnson brought, the teams into a tie. The variety returned to the game with eight minutes to play and was then that these players the podium, which caused them to claim the collegiate championship. Gibbons High Scorer Gibbons, star forward of the visiting team, came upon one when the "Lank" Jones, Morgan center was pushing him hard with 11 points to his credit. Morgan was successful in completing two out of four fouls which now rackets made five out of 14 attempts. COM. YEL. JACKETS LINE-UPS MORGAN G F P G 1 2 Gibbons.rf. G 1 2 G Clarke.rf.

WASHINGTON. D. C.—(Special) Unofficial report as yet unconfirmed, states that Charles West has left out as football coach of Howard University. His successor has not been named.

AMERICAN LEAGUE TO MEET SATURDAY Magnates to Start Work on Schedules for This Year Alumni In Session A special committee consisting of H. H. Long, I. H. Nutter, of J. lantic City, and B. M. Rhetta, of Baltimore, appointed, among other executive members of the General Alumni association, to find out why the Thanksgiving game between Howard and Lincoln was played at Jackson Park and not at the Howard stadium, met with the board of Athletic Control of Howard Saturday at noon.

The weather bureau announced rain for Thanksgiving day three days beforehand and the day itself. Grey and tan clouds. There was no noon shower, and more than three-fourths of the attendance arrived within 20 minutes of the time for the game to begin. Lincoln's early season defeats also let the team believe that there would no stiff competition in the game against Howard. Comparative Figures At the 1925 Howard-Lincoln game held in Philadelphia the total receipts were $17,908. Of this amount Lincoln received $10,505 and Howard, $7,003.

WILBERFORCE WINS FROM INSTITUTE FIVE WILBERFORCE, Ohio—Before a large and enthusiastic gallery, a green and gold wave rolled over the top of West Virginia to flatten them under a decisive 52-23 count. At no stage of the game was the Force quint in danger and they early jumped in to help them maintain throughout the facades. Coming to Wilberforce with a highly touted machine by virtue of their scant 26-25 backset at the backyard and their defeat of Clark, the Mountaineers strengthened this impression during the practice session caging difficult shots from all sides. But this impression of apparent strength was quickly offset when a few minutes of play, Lucas, flash forward for the Force quint, and then from under the draperies. Institute then tallied three points to bring the score to a 4-3 count. This was the closest that the West Virginia team had been when on things were a complete rout. It is true that Institute did not furnish Wilberforce much entertainment as a quint but the graceful antics of one individual, Giles, a guard, and id, and quietly display, by subquatre of Slow mention" by the galleries. Indentally he was high scorer for the Mountaineers and seemed to be the only one able to slip through the strong defense to register. WILBERFORCE W. V. VAST. G P F G P F Loca.f. 0 0 G.

No sooner taken than the little one is at ease. If restless few drops soon bring contentment. No harm done, for Castoria is a berry remedy meant to be feely safe to give the youngest fan! you have the doctors word for that! It is a vegetable product and you could use it every day. But in an emergency Castoria must stock. Some might well always be relieved—or colic pain—other suffering. Never be without some mothers keep an extra bottle un-opened. So there can always be Castoria in the house. It is effective for older; children, to read the book that comes with it.

Hello, there, Pansy: I'm afraid my letter will appear rather dull this trip, for, though there is plenty of gossip in the air, but do we dare touch it until we get clearer facts? For guilty, or not guilty, once hit on their tender spot, they will blaze up in a minute and try to make you see where-in. However, other than that, the vacant spaces on the calendars seem to be filling up quickly with an epidemic of informal card parties, an easy way of society's expressing them—selves and calming down during the Llen-ten period, or better still, recuperating from a large gay season. Last week, the Jabbercock show at Elks Hall, given by the Delta Sigma Theta Society, held the day, and was the talk of the town. The affair was given to aid the members in their scholarship fund—and from the results of having four hundred or more in their audience on that day, evening at Elks Hall, without a doubt, the sorority needs commending for putting ever such a successful event—that they got together only a few weeks—or more. Dancing proceeded after the performance and everybody concerned This week, the Business Men's League is holding a Booth Show, Twintime Church, and a Women's Club on by men and women of the city are represented at the various booths. It will contain a variety of items worth it is worth witnessing. But coming back to card parties, Mabel Locks entertained with a very pretty one Tuesday evening she was hostess to her 200k's Mohal's Party Mabel, Pansy, dear. Is just lovable and sweet, and everybody who meets her says she is always so interesting. So, of course, whenever she entertains, her friends are never known to refuse her bid to come thither, unless in case of sickness. On Tuesday she had another of her pretty and enjoyable card parties, honoring the "900" Club, of which she is a member, and quite a number of extra guests. She had such tasty card prizes, and the nifftest score pads and belles you have ever seen. Mabel's menu was in keepplace with her, and her surroundings, pleasing, beautiful and prepared and served and well enjoyed. Emma Davis scored highest in the club members and was given a half dozen hem-stitched luncheon nap, here were two guest prizes, Bunce Hall winning the first and given an Italian wire bottle, and for the second guest, a modernistic bracelet, that went to Matrie Connor, Edleen Persseon, and her friend just to have the lowest score and Mabel presented her with a motto on "bridge." Of the extra guests, I heard Gady's Coatley was among them; also Marian Webb, Fannie White, Ethel Waters, Mariah Smith, Ruth Thomson, Anita Smith, Ruth Thompson, Anita Thomas, Audrey Berry, Jen Pace, Eunice Hall and Matrie Connor. With the club members, she certainly had a big party and everybody said they had such a good time. 4 Surprise Shower For Lilla A Surprise Shower for Lina Vot see, cirlie, the only reason why Lina's friends can keep a tag on her is because she teaches here. By the way, I forget to say, she is a recent bride. Anyway, other than school days, she resides with her husband, Dr. Charles Barnum, of Hacertown. So a month or so ago there was whispering among Lina's friends to spring a surprise shower on her in the near future, and they did, on Tuesday evening, while she was conversing with her father, the Rev. J. G. Martin, as their residence on Pennsylvania ave. She doesn't know yet how the bunch of girls came in, it was so outlick and quietly done. At any rate, Lina was surrounded and showered with linens, silver and glassware and they tell me it was such a surprise to her that she couldn't even get her mouth open wide enough to express her pleasure and appreciation. And the next day each of the girls that helped to arrange the shower and put on such a delightful party received dainty little cards of thanks, and excusing herself for her stundity in not thinking them before, but she claims she was so overjured she just couldn't. Those taking part were Ethel Jones, Xaveria Gordon, Marion Ginn, Iradelle Williams, Mas Miller, Nelle Buchanan, Mildred McMechen, Camille Levy and Mamie Diggs. The Assort Formal Dance The Ascote Club is a club of men and their pull off a just-too-bad party every year. The members consist mostly of the office men, the most recent vogue in evening contests will be seen at this afternoon on Friday night. Mrs. Jackson's engagement book is overflowing for the men who are still grumbling because they are compelled to wear the stiff bosom shirts and full dress. The music is to excel at any affair yet and the punch will satisfy and thrust. However, all waits to be taken. —PANSY 9 The League Asso.Of B.C.

GRACE VIRGINIA SHELOR Maryland Lady Was Guessing When your child is underweight, pale and listless, is billious, sallow, feverish, fretful, with bad breath, coated tongue and no appetite, has a small sign on her little stomach and bowels are weak. Don't experiment in cases of this kind. Just follow the example of the millions of mothers who are: the Fig Syrup. Egulate their children and bowels and give tone and strength to these organs so they continue to act normally, of their own accord. All women on this rich, fruity, pleasant-tasting preparation clears up the most stubborn cases of constipation and makes pale, lifeless children rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed, H. Sherl, 31 East Mt. St. Baltimore, says: "From the very first my little girl, Grave Virginia, had trouble with her stomach and bowels. She needed to give her some G. voriana Fig Syrup. Soon she started gaining weight and now she's the picture of health." See that the Fig Syrup you buy bears the name of her, so you want it by implants. Sub-Deb Chatter KOESTER'S HONEY BREAD FIRST CLASS "MALE" ~WITH THAT KOESTER"STAMP"OF HEALTH By BUENA VISTA GRAY JABBERWOCK The Jabberwock last Tuesday night brought out debutantes and sub-debs from every section of the city to vie with each other for a dance or two with the Apollos who were present. Added to the group that was clamoring for a dance or two with the masculine set was a number of young teachers. Judging from what's going around among the sub-debs, they scarcely had a look-in when the orchestra began to play. The teachers just won't have when it comes to dancing. There was a terrible crack made on the debutantes of twenty-nine. Be careful future sub-debs so they can't say the same thing about you. When Coppin Normal School's time came to appear on the scene the leading lady did not appear but you can bet Robinette Male was ready to take her place. The prize awarder said she turned things "bottom upwards." Dorothy Chapman may have done just as well but we doubt if she could have done better. The judges said the quick movement of Morgan's dramatic club won the prize, but we believe it was Eddie's playing. Every one remembers how he tore the piano up when Morgan's dramatic placard was raised. Naturally, Lola Malory and Rufus Hackett, Doris Dansey and Elmer Henderson, Mary Carter and Irvin Lottler and Wahseela and Charles Briscoe were partners for the afternoon since they came together. By gossiping so much ye editor forgot to mention the winning club. Morgan was the twentieth-dollar. The Post wrote the Globe in normal Dramatic tone, burgundy, mentions. CANILLES The former Sub-Deb Club which included Misses Cecilia Smith, Phyllis Robinson, and Martha Robinson, Colona have changed its name from Sub-Deb to Camilies. Three of the sub-debs are graduates of the class of twenty-nine. This is the reason for the change in the name.

VALENTINE PARTY The Girl Reserves are always planning something for the younger bunch. Thursday they had a Valentine party. The room was beautifully decorated with red hearts. Some of the girls wore dresses decorated with hearts. Lelia Dorsey's dress was covered with hearts while Llewellyn Husketh wore a bajama suit. Avon Long and Dorothy Smith were partners in the "Old Virginia Reel." Many games were played and prizes were awarded for the winners in most of them. Lorraine Butler won a prize for finding the most hearts. That means she has the most beaux. Harriet Jones and Avon Long won prizes, also.

CELLAR VALENTINE PARTY CELLAR VALENTINE PARTY Police officers will be present if you weren't as Paul and Robert Anderson's party Friday. Card playing and dancing made the evening glide swiftly.

Feb.—(ANP.)—Officers of the three Old Line Life Insurance Companies reported to be about to offer a merger, were not prepared to give a statement on the consolidation when interviewed Friday. Dr. M. O. Bousfield, president of Dr. Lacy Life, and Harry H. Face, head of Northeastern, characterized the report as premature and preferred to await the final working out of details before making a formal or detailed appraisal of the scope of the merger. Dr. Bousfield said: "I regard such a combination as a mighty step forward in the development of insurance business among us. Some of the largest financial institutions were consulted from the mergers of several separate enterprises. I hope an announcement can be made soon." Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, said: "The officers of Liberty, Northeastern, and Supremes are to be congratulated upon their merger, which will provide resources together with reduced overheads, there is promise of larger and exponent of business conditions at the beginning of the New Year, I urged mergers as the next step in the economic advancement of our race." Anthony Overton, banker and insurance head, said: "The proposed merger is in the process of completion, and in their getting together all three companies will be helped. Such a move shows that we are arriving at the place where we are going to be the business itself in front of the matter of merely holding office.

What I really should like to see would be about three companies north of the Mason and Dixon and two south of it, just enough to care for the business without loss and to furnish the proper competition. (2) Spaulding Charles Clinton Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual of Durham, endorsed the plan en- thesiastically when he wrote: “I have just read an Associated Negro Press dispatch which reports the proposed merger of the Liberty Life Insurance Company, the North- eastern Life Insurance Company and the Supreme Life and Casualty Company. These are three companies, which, to my mind, have been very efficiently managed. I can appreciate just why such a merger is proposed and why it is necessary. "The turnover in business and agents in Negro companies is one of the most expensive items in the business, and I am sure if the companies named can get together, it will be one of the most progressive movement ever made in insurance care."

USINESS in ALTIMORE EXPERT Morgan Bus Loses It's Way In Fog On N.Y. Trip MORGAN BUS LOST IN FOG ON N. Y. TRIP Dense Mist Caused Driver To Wander Far Off Lincoln Highway FEW MISSED RECEPTION BY NATHANIEL GARLAND Dense, impenetrable fog enveloped the Morgan College club bus near Trenton, New Jersey, around 4 o'clock Friday morning and delayed the trip to New York some three hours. Groping blindly through the heavy mist, the driver forced at times drop to the lowest speed on a duty bus, but delayed far off the Lincoln Highway. There was no uneasiness. Practically all were sleeping well. The others seemed assured of the competence of the driver. Over a labirinth of by-roads unfamiliar to him, the driver by dawn regained New Brunswick at 7 o'clock, regaining his bearing. Fog was encountered when the bus hummed onto the Roosevelt Driveway which leads out of Philadelphia. Though heavy here, no difficulty was met, however, owing to the wide and brilliantly illuminated driveways. Highways approaching Philadelphia seemed to be the lightest of any this side of Newark, New Jersey. Baltimore Dark Excepting North Avenue for a few "accelerations" and 23rd street for half as many and North Charles street as fewer still, the Baltimoreaches, considering the size of the city, are the darkest of any on the North highway. In the absence of a moon Thursday night, the humming bus was forced to penetrate narrow treebowered pikes, descend serpentine chasms, rush over steep grades guided only by a small glare of the headlights playing 10 feet from the hood of the bus. At times the driver inconveniently employed the spotlight to penetrate the blackness of the foreground, but was, however, the occasional frantic flashing of danger signals at exceptionally perilous places along the Maryland highways. Delaware No thought was given to narrow roads; if dark ones, after crossing into Delaware. There the highways are wide and straight, affording safe speed. **Black Cat Tea Room** About 13 miles south of Winnington the huge, staley bus halted before a small brightly colored design, "BE BETE Tea Room." It was rather interesting that everything could be bought there—legitimately—from gasoline to phonograph music. The place appeared to be the rendezvous of the touring East, from the license tags of the parked cars. Lionel Licorish would find no complaint there, for it seems that the dimes and quarters are what the eager waiter seized in the refrigerated with "hamburger" and pie, the students resumed their merry-making, which, started at leave-taking of the c llege, had died away in the dark reaches of the Maryland drives. Speeches, recitations, college ditties and popular songs were rendered until either exhaustion of Morpheus inside the bus just before the entry of the for episode. Arrives At 10:30 A.M. The wainning bus drew up before the W.Y.C.A. on 137th street. New York City at 10:30 Friday morning, making the trip in 10 hours. A syndicate cameraman took pictures of the cast, the club immediately proceeded to the Alhambra Theatre. A rehearsal of the plays followed. The Way Of Harlem At midnight at the theatre just before time for the show to begin, things looked bad. Only a few seats were taken. The seating arrangement was the only who are not equipped with the ways of Harlem. When time to lift the curtain came, however, all but a few seats in the auditorium, gallery, and the boxes were taken. Miss Reception Some of the Baltimore students missed the reception that the Epsilon Chapter of Omega Psi Phi gave in honor of the dramatic club Saturday night. Finding no one to join, the yelock the Baltimoreers concluded that: 'these would be no dance and went to the Y.W.G.A. from where the bus would leave for Baltimore after midnight. Carried back to the hall at 14:45 by the bus to bring the remainder of the club to the Y.W.G.A. before going to the students found that there was hardly dancing room in the hall. Return Enjoyable The return trip was uneventful. There was no fog. Leaving New York at 3 a.m. david broken long before reaching Trenton. All was running, and lightness from Elizabethtown, New Jersey, to Morgan College. A Correction An article headed "114 Men and Women Arrested in Raids," appearing in last week's 1604 ADF stated that Henry Morris, 1604 Madison avenue was arrested in a raid. Mrs. E. W. Gray, who lives at this address, states that no one by this name lives there. ```markdown ``` so, bring it to it a practical hat assured. Nothing used to hurt the fetish or destroy the knap, and absor- bate from any order. It costs no more. Around About Baltimore Bv PROFESSOR FUDGE **DEATH in. The family** 'AT A MEETING of the Afro Club an out-of-town newspaper man who once upon a time edited the assembly. In Baltimore, spoke of the assembly. During the meeting of his remarks he said many instances' when the "wolf" stalked right into the press room itself. The gentleman related some instances in detail but he did not mention the time that he was tipped off that the American Type Foundry was sending up a wagon snatch his unimpressed type. The title occasion, used, rare judgement and decision. Getting in touch with a local undertaker, he procured a crepe and when the wagon arrived a sign on the door said: "Closed on account of death in the family." A "Blind" Right On In a poker game when a man gets "washed out" it is customary for the party to ask for a blind. "Blind" is free entered into a pot. As far as I remember a blind is only asked for in a poker game, but last Saturday on lower McCullough street I saw a man ask for a "blind" who was not in a poker game. He simply reached out of the window, took a blind off of its hinges, took a side, broke up, broke himself with a knife, both cases, however, a "blind" was essentially for the same purpose—"A life saver." Different Methods BALTIMORE HAS LONG been noted as a cold town for the剧院. Not only is it hard to get the house full, but once it is full it is just as hard to get a hand. Laws against the剧院 have different methods were used to persuade the audience to give an outward expression of inward pleasure. At the Royal Theatre, Irvin Miller, producer of the attraction, came out before the footlights and told just who they were, what kind of applause they got on Broadway, how good they were, and suggested that the audience give them plenty of applause. When the parties something little beaten up the avail-ble Baltimore applause was the result. Down town at a vaudeville house a man walks out on the stage just before the performers come on. He tells them that people come at that performance but that at this performance they were going to do so or find an exit. Thereupon he pulls out two big guns and exhibits them, at the same time saying that he will be back. The man then joins in. The "Chicago" system seems to get it. Mr.Carter Says Your "Promise to Pay" Is Sufficient You needn't bring a single re- ference—Mr. Car- ter doesn't want to see them—all he wants is your confidence. Just come in, pick out the things you need, give. Mr. Carter "Your Promise to Pay"— Who Bent the Derby? JOHN T. NICHOLSON, known better as "Dude Dick," long a cane man, Eastern section of the country, wandered up Pennsylvania avenue. Tuesday night, with a "bend" in his derby, the remains of a cane in his hand and slightly out of sorts. Speculation was rife as to just who bent his derby. When interviewed, stalker, clerk, called to illuminate his audience other than to-say. "A stop is going to be put to that sort of thing." Many people thought he must have bumped his head and thus bent his derby, but the broken cane stopped his run. However, he is ten to one "Dude" will get a new cane before he gets a new derby. All For Nothing Dr. Carter G. Woodson spoke at the Douglass High School during Negro History Week. In his line the doctor stands out preeminently; and it must be admitted he has done a great work in building a cultural background for the Negro race. A background is absolutely necessary to any one who is making a success or intends to do so. He notices it as soon as a man puts money he starts finding out things about his forbears he never knew before. As a matter of fact, there are agencies who deal exclusively in this line of work. If you have enough money the ancestor agencies will descend you from anybody you want to be descended from. For a whole lot of money they can connect you up with royalty.

Houchens 57 years ago. Satisfied users claim the Family Physician to be the most useful medicine yet produced for family ills in all seasons of the year. For Man, Woman and Child Colds, Sore Throats, Fever and Constipation it goes with persons. I race. When I was a small boy you could hear of only a few great Negroes and their achievement. For them achievement was harder. Douglass, Crispus Attucks, Alexander Dumas, and Toussaint Lovetrille comprised the whole works. Now it is different. We have, for instance, a Negro general, a contemporary of Napoleon, who made the "little corporal" look like a boy scout. He founded Mexico, another Negro upon whose efforts the Russian literature has been built up and had it not been for him it is doubtful if the Russians could talk at all, another Negro loaned Rothschild the money that he in turn loaned great countries. But he and many who are almost crowding Booker T. and Fred out of the picture. The thing is grand but to get this kind of service the person or the race must have money to build up a past. Unlike other races and peoples, we are getting our history for nothing; for, be it it understood that the race, with the exception of the Eskimo, who have more frozen assets than any other race, still controls more poverty than any other race on earth. The-Douglass Day dinner held under the auspices of the Adelphian Club, was worse this year than it was last year, if a thing could be that bad. The food was well enough, but the conduct of the affair was ridiculous. The guests "at down as late as 13:00 at night and listened to an insurance talk read off of a typewriter, and passed by Mr. C. Vickers, the president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, vice-president of the Bankers' Fire Insurance. Company, president of the fifth largest building association in North Carolina, president of the Farmers and, Mechanics Bank of Durham, and faye, in whose work blackwings had taken place, in whose commemoration the thing was held, was given a lick and a blow and put back into the closet until Douglass Day of next year. The committee on aring these dinners for some few years, arrangements, it seems, has it is hoped that if they have the skill of had enough practice, courage to struggle with the dinner next year the business will be better attended to and more emphasis put on Douglass.
