Students Oppose Colored Members On Faculty College 75 Years Old Has No Alumni Qualified, Say in Answering Questionnaire. Students Off On Vacation Loath To Discuss Vote OXFORD, Pa.—Lincoln University students prefer an all-white faculty. This is the verdict established by questionnaire circulated among the student body recently by Langston Hughes and associates in sociology. Reasons assigned for the vote were that colored teachers are not qualified. Secondly, students declared they had social divisions among the faculty and favoritism shown by college teachers to the members of their fraternities. Parts concerning the questionnaire are out as students left the campus for their Easter vacation. Those in Baltimore were loath to discuss the matter for publication. Supported by the Lincoln University, supported by the white Presbyterian Church, celebrates its 75th anniversary June 4. The university has an enrollment of 20 students, all men. There are 2 buildings and the total value of its property is $478,632. It is now in the midst of a $250,000 endowment campaign, of which alumni have subscribed $50,000. Some $7,000 is needed to complete the end. The president, Dr. William Halix Johnson, and members of the faculty are white. For the first time in 84 year, a colored member was named to the trustee board. Alumni for years have agitated the question of colored members on the faculty. Alumni Teach at Howard Among distinguished alumni of the college are Dr. L. Z. Johnson, professor of English, Albert S. Beckham, assistant professor of psychology and Arthur M. Curtis, M.D., all of Howd faculty. Dr. Francis J.

West Virginia Fights Restrictive Clauses In Property Deeds HUNTINGTON, W. Va. Efforts to keep Negroes out of a section of this city, known as the Janes-Rau Addition, by a restrictive clause in the deeds which stipulates that the property shall not be conveyed, leased or rented to any colored person for 50 years, will be contested in the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. T. G. Nutter, attorney, of Charleston, and Leftwich and Meadows, of this city, aided by the N. A. A. C. P., are pushing the case for the plaintiffs on the ground that the restrictive clause is contrary to public policy; that the plaintiffs, Lewis White and Cora White, are white and and not colored; and that since the neighborhood in which the property is Located has so changed that it has become a Negro residential district, therefore, they have the right to disregard the covenant and sell to colored people.

RICHMOND, Va. — Operation of Virginia's residential segregation ordinance was halted Saturday when J. B. Deans filed a petition in the United States District Court, asking an injunction to restrain the city from enforcing it. The ordinance recently passed forbids colored people to occupy residences in blocks occupied by a majority of white persons. The segregation ordinance reads in part as follows: "That in order to preserve the general welfare, peace, racial integrity, morals, and social good order of the city of Richmond, it shall be unlawful for any person to use as a residence any building on any street between intersecting streets, where the majority of residences on such streets are occupied by those with whom said person is forbidden to intermarry by NEW YORK — Opponents of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters alleged that A. Philip Randolph, general organizer and Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer, offered to put their union squarely behind Al Smith in the 1928 presidential campaign for the sum of $97,000. Copies of the memorandum which were sent by Lancaster to Harold F. Cullman, white, described as one of the financial agents of the democratic party in New York, were made public this week. The purpose of the $97,000 fund was to allow salaries and expenses for officers and organizers in the Brotherhood, but chiefly to furnish the expense for the starting of a tabloid weekly newspaper with a four-page rotogravure section to be distributed free of charge among the 12,000 pullman porters and maids and to be sold on newsstands throughout the country. The paper was pledged to the support of Al Smith, editorially, and was to carry each week, at least one page of political news in support of the Democratic candidate. According to the memorandum, According to the memorandum, "There are only three national Negro newspapers, the Chicago Defender, the Baltimore AFRO-AMERICAN, and the Pittsburgh Courier. Only the AFRO-AMERICAN is politically independent. All other Negro newspapers serve only a small area and are generally Republican. "THE AFRO-AMERICAN and the Pittsburgh Courier have about 35000 circulation each. "With the rotogravure section of four pages, an entirely new departure in the field of Negro journalism, a jump of at least 30,000 in circulation by October would be assured and if $5,000 is expended for initial advertising of the newspaper, prizes, etc., a circulation of over 50,000 is assured within five months. "The total cost of printing such a newspaper would be $1,200 a week including the cost of the eight-page print section and four page roto, salary of the editor, business manager, contributing editor, news service, circulation manager, etc. "Total newspaper cost would amount to $37,500." The Brotherhood also planned to obligate itself to put out 25 organizers at $150 a month to be paid from Smith campaign funds. The Democrats were also to be asked to put up $14,000 to run 20 offices in various sections of the country. Says the memorandum. "Seven monthly payments of $13, 858 beginning May 1 and ending November 1 would put the Brotherhood over the top and swing a large section of the Negro voting public to the Democratic side."

Church Trial Ends; The Pastor Is Suspended BISHOP A. L. GAINES SUSPENDS MINISTER Presiding Elder C. M. Reid Accused of Paternity by Girl of 17. Conference Next November Will Act Upon Its Verdict. GREENSBORO, N. C. — Bishop A. L. Gaines of the A.M.E. Church suspended this week Rev. C. M. Reid, presiding elder of the Rocky Mount, North Carolina district. Suspension followed a church trial by ministers of the N. C. Conference, who immediately presented their Andings to the bishop. The annual conference which does not meet until next November will pass upon the findings of the committee. Meantime Rev. Mr. Reid hopes to submit new evidence which will cause a reversal of the verdict. Charges Plaintiff against the minister was the father of Miss Grace Neal, 17, now thought to be in Baltimore. The minister was said to be the father of the girl's child, and was accused of giving a bad $300 check to Reid in the effort to halt legal proceedings. Mr. Reid also claimed to have a letter in which the minister admitted his guilt. A sister, Angie Neal, 19, accused a North Carolina head recently of being the father of her child. Both cases have created a sensation in North Carolina. The mother of the girls died while they were small. The father is a hard working N. C. Mutual Life Insurance agent. Rev.

WASHINGTON, N. C. — John Latham figured that if a woman has a right to sue a man for non-support, the man has the right to sue a woman on the same ground. He attempted to take his case to court last week and explained that his wife had taken in washing, and had done housecleaning for the past five years enabling them to live comfortably. Without warning, she left him two weeks ago and went to live. The court threatened Latham with arrest unless he got a job within a week. with her mother leaving him without any means of support.

WRITE FOR TERMS THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1929 Easter in Richmond No Eats on Easter Sunday. Flowers in Windows. Hampton-Union Game. Jim Crow Park. By LEWIS K. McMILLAN The New York Negro has learned to eat little—comparatively little. But down in Virginia the love of hams greatly exceeds the love of clothes and elaborate homes. Yet Easter is an exception. Saturday night a restaurant proprietress was very down spirited. Rain was falling and business was slow. Thinking that I would surely encourage her I said, "Madam, you will have a big day tomorrow: it will be wonderful: and, what is more, the weather will be clear." "Well, Mister," she broke in, "Mister, these folks in Richmond don't eat at all on Easter Sunday. They just parade themselves thin." I saw the people, many of them, on Sunday and Monday: The lady was right. Churches were filled on Sunday, filled to over-flowing. About the strangest thing that I saw Easter Sunday was two green coats—just alike—worn by two young women who were strangers: but they sat on the same seat in church. Both of them appeared happy. The people spent many dollars for flowers, beautiful flowers. As late as Monday it was no uncommon thing to see windows still decorated with lovely ferns, delicate lilies, carnations and at times, roses. The Baptist Ministers' Conference met at its usual time, Monday morning, in spite of its being Easter They met at the usual time and acted in the usual manner. The critic criticised the "Order of the Day" for using the preposition "with" near the beginning and "at" the end of the sentence. And as a sort of climax, he turned to the youngster, asking, "Brother X, how do you pronounce DICIPLINE?" Even the most backward members c. the brotherhood saw that the critic had talked a little too much, discovering that ignorance would out. They cried out in laughter, "Why, brother, that don't spell nothing." The young man, the Order of the Day, had mispronounced DISCIPLINE; the critic had misspelled it. Hampton and Union played a game of baseball on Monday afternoon. This afforded an occasion for a renewal of the parading and the fashion show. No decision of an umpire was vocally disputed. Union made three of her four scores in one inning. Hampton made all of her three in one inning. Union won 4-3. Hampton had only one coach, yet he never left his bench while his men were at the bat, and only once when they were in the field; Union had two coaches, and they never sat while their men were at the bat: the first coach was at first and the second coach was on the third base line. Baseball no more holds first place in southern schools: it is rather tame now, since the arrival of football and basketball. Even Union's cheer leader admitted the fact. Despite the fact that he wore a pretty red cap he remained silent, after a few innings: he scarcely spoke to his girl friend—for whom he bought an admission ticket. Everything in Richmond — almost everything—is named "Byrd." One William Byrd, was once a great figure in the old capital. A large, green grass covered park bears that name. It is a park supported by the city. It has bathing, rowing and other recreational facilities: all for whites; but you can walk or drive through the white folks' park that is supported by Richmond's citizens. A few thousand Negroes in Richmond are wearing buttons that read like this, "WHY SEGREGATE US?" The first leg of the fight against a segregation ordinance has been started. The white press is friendly toward the fight: Negroes in Richmond may yet awake and vote and row and swim and be men. Community Chest Trustees Elected WASHINGTON D.

ROGERS PARIS.—"It will take the Negro in America another thirty or forty years to see 'Home to Harlem' in its true light—to appreciate it in the spirit in which I wrote it," said Claude McKay, speaking of the volume of adverse criticisms he had received on this book from colored people. McKay, recent winner of the Harmon Prize in literature, has just returned from a trip through North Africa, Spain, and Italy, and is spending a few days in Paris, before returning to his home in the South Howard Show But The Sh Director Dandridge And Juve After Missin WASHINGTON, D. C. — The un- yielding code of the theatre — the show must go on — was exemplified at the Howard Theatre last week Putney Dandridge, jumping jack conductor of the Howard Theatre orchestra and one of the stage idols of local school teachers, was unable to appear at six performances last week on account of a scalp wound inflicted by Charles Ray, juvenile lead and also an idol of both school teacher and school girl, but the show went on. Altercation The two actors got into an altercation in the Industrial Cafe early Wednesday morning. Dandridge was taken to Freedmen's Hospital. There are two versions of the affair. Neither one of them could be confirmed because of the reluctance of stage folks to talk about the scandals of each other. Neither Shelton Brooks, master of ceremonies at the Howard Theatre, who is another stage idol of Washington school teachers, nor Galli De Gaston, comedian, would discuss the affair. Baltimore Girl One version is that Dandridge and Ray engaged in an argument over a young woman from Baltimore, Md Her name could not be learned. The other version is that Dandridge under the influence of a stimulant A. Pain in Side MISS Isola King, 405 Eighth Ave., (North) Nashville, Tenn., writes: "About two years ago, I was in ill health. I suffered a great deal with my side and back. My back was so weak I could hardly stand it if I had to stand any length of time. "At times, I would have very severe headaches. "I read of Cardui, and decided to try it. I have never regretted it for it helped me so much. The pain and soreness left my side, and I quit having the headache. My back felt so much better. I took Cardui off and on for a year. Now I am in good health; have been for a year." For sale by all druggists. CARDUI Helps Women to Health "Numbers" Barons Hit for $3,000,000 on 850 Bishop. Editor. Doctor. Touch All Live on the Same Street He said that he had been surprised at the attacks that had been made on him, since he had written only what he had seen. Some of his critics, he said, had accused him of "selling out to the white man," while others had charged him with being prejudiced against colored Americans. Referring to the incident in which two West Indian women stripped themselves of all their clothing and fought in a Harlem back-yard, "That was too much," I said. "Well," he replied, "I saw with my own eyes such a sight in Jamaica, West Indies, and I merely used the writer's privilege, and transferred the scene to Harlem." McKay's new book, "Banjo," deals with the Negroes of a similar type in Marseilles, France, and will appear soon from the press of Harper Bros. From what he tells me of it, it is likely to prove another best seller. Some fifty thousand copies of "Home to Harlem" were sold. He is also to write a series of articles on North Africa for Harper's Magazine and is planning to visit the United States soon. Principals Fight How Goes On enile Lead Back In Love Duo, ing Six Shows became angered over his check in the restaurant and refused to pay it. Ray in a friendly way tried to persuade him to pay it. Dandridge is said to have threatened Ray. The latter abbed a piece of pipe, which was laying in a corner of the place, and struck Dandridge. Dandridge remained out of the show Wednesday and Thursday, but returned Friday and he and Ray did their number together with Miss Marguerite Simms and Miss Jekie Yung. Symbolically it was called "Lovers." Director Dandridge was born in Richmond, Va. He showed musical inclinations early in his youth. He began his career which was to take him on the stage, as a member of a quartet singing on the streets. He attracted the attention of Drake and Walker and was given a part in their show. For several years he was the pianist in Drake's "Cyclonic Jazz Band." For the last eight or ten weeks he has been directing the orchestra at the Howard Theatre which has been removed from the pit to the stage. Ray is a New York boy and has been working with Addison Carey, the producer of the Howard Theatre shows and head of the Carey, Marshall & Davis Producing Company of New York. Carey has used Ray for many months in his numerous productions and in night club work in Harlem. Bishop. Editor. All Live on th CHICAGO.—Chicago highbrows have not been able to avoid the lowbrows by moving into the expensive and exclusive residences on South Parkway, according to the Chicago World. In an article written by a staff correspondent last week, the paper notes that in the 47 blocks of South Parkway where Bishop A. J. Carey, Dr. U. G. Dailey and Editor Robert S. Abbott have beautiful homes, are also some of the toughest houses on the southside. Around the corner on 48th street there is a notorious house of prostitution, operated by a woman who boasts of her protection. She was recently raided and secured an injunction restraining the police from interferring with her. On the other side of South Parkway is the Savoy ballroom, a scene of seduction, kidnapping, shooting and robbery. On one side of South Parkway is a lawyer and on the other side is a dwelling owned by his wife, now operated as a "blind pig" with wide open gambling. Beer flats and vice dens are numerous. "One of them," says the World, "is being operated strictly for the white trade. Raid after raid has been made and still it continues to operate. This den alone pays $250 a week protection money." WOMAN BITTEN BY DOG Walking on Eislen street near her home, Mrs. Mary Aslepp, 628 Eislen street, was bitten on the left leg by a dog, Saturday.

It all happened because so many of them had the hunch that they would be the winning number Thursday. Some were so sure that they put down $100 on a 1,000 to shot. Thousands hit on 850 and were but they didn't collect. If the number barons had paid, they would have gone broke. If they didn't pay the would destroy confidence in this new est gambling craze. By some unexplainable incident, a number of newspapers in Philadelphia and New York quoted the exchanges and balances in the New York clearing house as making the winning number to be 758. A checkup last night disclosed however, that the correct figures for Thursday are: exchanges, $2,285,000. 000; balances, $180,000,000, which makes 850 the winning number. Bankers decided to save their faces by paying on 758. Police tried to break up the game by arresting grocery and cigar store hads who sold tickets. Now agents disguised as milk, ice, and coal men are writing the numbers. Even school children are investing pennies. Police Chief Doran in an effort to discourage gambling has decreed that gamblers when arrested must put up a $200 cash bond. NEWSPAPER EDITOR A. B.

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

"Let the president read the history of this unconstitutional and un-American aspiration, and he will find that every president who undertook this suicidal aspiration made a mess of it and ended a one-term president. "Taft undertook it and ended the most repudiated candidate that ever ran for president. Harding listened to the clamor of the lily-white rabble and God called him from labor to reward and saved him from complete repudiation and humiliation. "Let Mr. Hoover adopt this unpatriotic aspiration, and he will go out of office in 1933 as irgloriously as he went in gloriously in 1929. "When the President said that the Republican leadership in the border states of North Carolina and Vireinia has long since built up vigorous party organizations which assured Republican representation in Congress from these states, does he know that there has not been a Republican in Congress from these states since the Democrats disfranchised the Negro and the white Republicans shut the party door in their faces until the South split over the questions of religious liberty and lour in 1928? "The president's statement commends party growth in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida and Texas when these states have as completely shut the door of political hope in the Negro's face as the Democratic party has disfranchised him. "Does the president approve of this legalized theft of the Negro's constitutional rights and declare for white supremacy? "Does the president condemn Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina because the party entity is sixty per cent Negro and forty per cent white and commend the party in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, North Carolina and Virginia because the party in these states is one hundred per cent lily-white? "Georgia challenges anybody to produce one office in the state where the organization misled any department head to appoint a bad man to office, or sold a post office. "Why did the American people contribute $10,000,000 to elect Mr. Hoover? Just for nothing, without the hope of reward or any consideration? Yes, just for nothing, that's all."

Leading physicians say Cascarets give your bowels as much real exercise as you get from an hour in the water. Cascarets are made from Cascara Sagrada, which stimulates the peristaltic action and exercises the bowel muscles. Oils, salts and ordinary laxatives don't act like Cascarets. These things only produce mechanical or chemical action. They weaken your bowels whenever you resort to them. Every time you take Cascarets your bowels become stronger. That's the reason they give lasting relief from constipation, billiousness, headaches, indigestion, bloating, etc. That's why 20 million boxes are used yearly. 10 THEY WORK WHILE YOU SLEEP HANDY HINGED-TOP TIN BOXES "For fifteen years I have been using: Black-Draught, when needed, for billiousness and constipation," says Mr. J.O. Woolard of Oriental, N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it. "I have found that Thedford's purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it. "I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that. "My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this."

Fraternities Should Have Aged Homes WASHINGTON. — "Care of the aged should be one of the principal aims of fraternal life in America," said Secretary of Labor, James J. Davis, in commenting upon a report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which showed that there are at least 111 fraternal homes for the aged in the United States. "In the 111 which reported to the department," continued the Secretary, "the Negro fraternal group is to be commended in having at least one home. This number should grow in the years to come, so as to increase the usefulness of the great Negro fraternities which are already doing a meritorious work in behalf of their membership in all parts of the country." The Negro home for the aged, which filed an interesting report with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is located in Richmond, Va. It was established in 1907, and has a capacity of 35.

"The statement will naturally have a depressing effect upon the minds of most of the Negro leaders in the South until its real intent has had time to bear fruit "While the action of the President will necessarily affect the prestige of a few race leaders, this will be more than offset by the exercise of the franchise by the masses if he succeeds in his undertaking." Church Won't Comment R. R. Church, Tennessee leader and Robert S. Abbott, Chicago editor, declined to comment. No replies were received from Dr. R. R. Moton, Perry W. Howard, Dr. John R. Hawkins, Mrs: George S. Williams, Georgia committeewoman, and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Kick in the Pants Carl Murphy, editor of the AFROAMERICAN, describes the announcement as "a kick in the pants for the men on whose votes Hoover counted in order to win the nomination at Kansas City. The fact that he makes public any statement at all is evidence that he has failed in his effort to make Dixie lily-whites, and is now casting about for public support." Vann's Okey Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, declared: "Every intelligent person knows the dual party system is desirable everywhere. The present system employed in the South has brought nothing to the Republican party. It has not only brought nothing to the Negro voters, but it has brought down upon the whole group many types of hatred, condemnation and not a little disgrace. "I am not interested in the ambitions of the few who hide behind the vulgar 'Lily Whiteism,' I am interested in a sound Republicanism, honestly organized which will be helpful to the masses north and south. President Hoover has the courage to lead the way. I predict that the masses will have the common sense to follow." No reply was received from Benjamin Davis, former Georgia national committeeman, but Georgia leaders, have already declared that the President will be unable to put thru his lily-white policies there. Chicago Tribune The Chicago Tribune (white) said editorially: "If Mr. Hoover succeeds in attracting the southern squires to the Republican party, he must first drive the Negroes from it. That will leave both parties to the Kluxers and the drys, and the Republican party will be even more anti-Negro than the Democratic. It will be an unmerciful surrender of loyal men into total subjection. The Negro has been faithful to the Republican party because it gave him the only protection he ever knew; now he is to be betrayed by his friends." New York Herald The New York Herald-Tribune (white) said: "Everyone. North and South will anlaid the straight-forwardness of Mr. Hoover's policy. It is good politics because it is sound Americanism. It looks forward to no swift purchase of Southern support by the promise of offices, but rather to the gradual development in these states of a genuine alternative to Democracy. The creation of such an organization cannot fail to benefit the whole South." Jackson. Miss.. Daily News The Jackson. Mississippi. Daily News (white) in a front page editorial says: "If President Hoover expects to hear thunderous anlause in Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina, following his edict of banishment for the Nero leaders, he is going to be sadly disappointed. Quite to the contrary, he will be greeted with the thunders of silence. Unholy Amition "The actuating motive behind the edict, of course, is an unholy ambition to establish a Republican party in Mississippi that will compete with the Democratic party in all county, state, and national political contests. "Hoover' unholy ambition to make the South Republican means a return of the Negro to active instead of nominal participation in political contests. "It means that both Democratic and Republican leaders will be bidding for the Negro vote, and eventually give to the qualified electors of that race the balance of power, as in Iowa in Tennessee and 5 having a large Negro population, notably St. Louis and Chicago.

To Hell With G. O. P. "The ideals and purposes of the Republican party Have not been so damnably high in recent years as to justify Mr. Hoover in getting excited because possibly a few of its Negro leaders in the South have collected a little cash in exchange for endorsements." "While all this was going on, men high in the ranks of Republicanism boldly pilfered multiplied millions of dollars from the public treasury, right under the eyes of a presidential cabinet of which Mr. Hoover was a member, and thus far none of them have been punished. Quite to the contrary, justice was outrageously debauched when several of them were acquitted.

STATE DEPARTMENT Of 600 Employees, Colored May Become Messengers Only. WASHINGTON, D C. (Special)—Colored employees refused to be jim crowed at the reception to Henry L. Stimson, new Secretary of State, just before he was sworn in by Chief Justice Taft. March 28. An order, sent around the department by E. J.

Messengers in other divisions were either ignored or told to watch the doors while other employees went to greet the new Secretary. Afterwards word was sent around by the acting chief messenger that messengers might come and call on Secretary Stimson.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—It is estimated that approximately 30,000 persons in the Northwest section, and three-fourths of the colored population of the Southwest section play the "numbers" daily, placing bets which vary in amounts from one cent to several dollars. The game is played by all classes of people, including preachers, devout church members, parents, teachers, school children, professional and business men, and government employees, who can see no harm in paying out a penny or two daily with a chance of getting six dollars or so in return if they "hit" the lucky number. In the Churches In some churches, it is claimed, that pencils are busy whenever a hymn is announced and the number thereof is often seen on the next day's number slips. Automobile licenses are also favorites, as are house numbers, room numbers, birthdates, or any conspicuous number which may happen into the consciousness of the player, but perhaps the most universally played hunches are the "dream" numbers. Collect $10,000 A conservative estimate places the amount that is collected daily by the "bankers" who pay 600 to one odds to the winners, as between $5,000 and $10,000. Movies Hard Hit Business men, particularly those in the movie and amusement fields are complaining bitterly that all of the spare cash and money formerly spent for recreation is now being dropped into the coffers of the "number kings" many of whom are Jews who are ready and anxious to risk their money in a game where the odds are 1,000 to one against the player, whom he only pays 600 to one in case of a "hit". Law Inadequate LL Police are finding it increasingly difficult to cope with this form of petty gambling as it has been found that the laws relating to lotteries in the District of Columbia are not strictly applicable to this form of gambling. Most of the cases of those arrested for participation in this pastime are still on the docket, while many have been dismissed. The authorities admit that they are up against a hard proposition in trying to stamp out the growing evil which is flourishing because of the inadequacy of the law. $50 Collateral Offenders are usually forced to put up $50 collateral, which is, of course, not hard to raise in the light of the enormous profits of the "game". Should they appear in court the cases are repeatedly continued. Several offenders arrested last spring have never been brought to trial. This, coupled with reports of fabulous winnings, has done much to encourage the pastime in Washington which is creeping even into the schoolroom. PHYSICIANS TO TUSKEGEE WASHINGTON, D.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - As a result of the disclosures of the dissipation of grand lodge funds of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World by Sheridan A. Brusseaux, the head of the Keystone National Detective Agency, who has been conducting an investigation of the administration of affairs of the order, it is likely that several propositions to correct existing evils will be drafted and sent to the lodges in May for their consideration with a view to their approval at the next grand lodge session. An important proposition that will probably result from the investigation will have for its object the limiting of the power of the grand exalted ruler in the appointment of committees and the repeal of the provision in the laws of the order which authorizes pay of $7 a day for each day of a grand lodge session to each delegate who serves on a committee. Fourteen Committees The present laws of the order empower the grand exalted ruler to appoint fourteen committees of not less than three members each. There is no limit on the maximum number of members that may be appointed to any committee. In addition he is authorized to appoint as many assistant grand esquires, assistant grand tylers and assistant grand inner guards as he may choose at each grand lodge session. Each of these appointees is paid $7 a day for six days' services although they are delegates to the grand lodge and their expenses are paid by the respective lodges which send them. Would Amend Fort Dearborn Lodge of Chicago, Illinois, Gate City Lodge of Atlanta, Georgia, and Columbia and Morning Star Lodges of Washington. D. C. have in recent years adopted and approved propositions to amend the grand lodge laws so as to reduce the number of committees and limit their membership. Other Changes The Columbia Lodge proposition, which may be revived, would restrict the grand exalted ruler to the appointment of not more than five assistant grand esquires, five assistant grand tylers and five assistant grand inner guards. It would make it unlawful for the grand exalted ruler to appoint any officer or committee not authorized by the grand lodge laws and no funds of the grand lodge could be used for their pay unless by a two-thirds vote of the delegates. WASHINGTON, D. C. The rate of expansion in elementary and secondary education of colored persons in public and private schools has been greater in the last nine years than in any like period of American history, according to a statement made public by the Department of the Interior last Saturday. A bulletin issued by the bureau of education of that department states that there were 2,218,312 Negro pupils reported in public schools in 18 southern states in 1926. "Of this number," the bulletin states, "1,055-674 were boys and 1,162,638 were girls. The average daily attendance was 1,563,975. To instruct these children 47,594 teachers were employed, 38.-942 women and 8,652 men. "While the large majority of colored schools reporting were public, there were 168 private schools with 3,722 teachers and 61,509 pupils. Stay in Owce Mr. Brusseaux, who was in the last week on business, points out the unlimited appointive authority the grand exalted ruler makes it possible for him to perpetuate himself office. On Committees "Since Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson has been office," Mr. Brussels stated in an interview here, the practice has been to appoint a number of members on a committee ranging from three to forty-members the average committee consisting of not less than fifteen members. The grand exalted ruler points to committee places only those who are friendly to his regime and will do his bidding. Corrupt "This practice is corrupt," says Mr Brusseaux, "and is tantamount to a purchase of the office with grand lodge funds." He recalled the scene on the closing day of the last grand lodge session in Chicago when Mr Wilson sent for the grand lodge payroll and struck off the names of delegates who had not voted as he wished. About 90 per cent of the delegates were on the payroll. It took approximately $12,000 of grand lodge funds to pay off. To Refinance Domingo WASHINGTON, D. C. — A commission of thirteen financial experts headed by former Vice-President Charles G. Dawes, has sailed for Santo Domingo. The commission expects to pass from a month to six weeks in the public arranging a budget law, but getting for executive departments and other phases of its task, but despite the permission of Santo Domingo that the commission may fix its own compensation and expenses Mr. Dawes said that the entire cost would not exceed $10,000. It was also announced that the former Vice-President and more than half the other members of the commission will pay their own expenses and that a good job will be done cheaply without the help of vakes and golf clubs.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1929 Bf PEGGY WASHINGTON, D.C.-April brings them—the Japanese cherry blossoms. Annually, they blossom forth in all their loveliness, transforming the Speedway and the Tidal Basin into a fairyland, with their pale pink blossoms, lightly sprinkled with drifts of snow. Thousands of visitors from all parts of the country flock to the Capital City every spring to see the enchanting sight made by the Japanese cherry blossoms. This year, Easter Sunday found them in full bloom, adding much to the beauty of the season of rejoicing. After seven days of surcease from social obligations, Easter ushered in, with its flowers, new gowns, its fashion parade and joyousness, one of the gayest social seasons of the year, and considered by many the most enjoyable. THE SCURLOCKS The festivities began with a wonderful bridge party, given for a large company of their friends, by Mrs. Addison Scurlock and Mrs. Herbert C. Scurlock, in the latter's beautiful and spacious home at 929 Rhode Island avenue. Baskets and vases of vivid spring flowers transformed the lovely parlor into a fairy-like garden, which formed a delightful background for the gorgeous gowns of the guests. There was Mrs. Hamilton Martin in a lovely red creation, Mrs. Emmett Scott in white and gold crepe romaine, and Mrs. Mollie Barrier in a beautiful evening frock of pink taffeta.

First Assistant Postmaster_Generai Bartlett, who, like former Postmas- ter General Harry S. New, was vers fair'and considerate in his treatment of colored postal employees, is to be replaced.

As 4 matter of fact nu colored Republican is an applicant for one of them. secminey a “Little Cabinet” position as an Official of the Post Office De- partment is considered out of reach y colored Republicans who aspire to office.

Gainey, an assistant chic! clerk at large, is the ranking colored postal employee. Postmaster Gener- al New wanted to make him a postal inspector, but Gainey had passed the age limit for promotion to an inspec- torship. Mr. New would not advance any other eiployee over him but. con- tinued Mr. Gainey as an_ assistant chief clerk at large assigned to wel- fare work. Gainey is very ill and may be retired on account of his physical disability. : Demotions Proposed New York City has an assistant superintendent. Chicago has a: fore- man of a terminal shift. Boston has a foreman. Promotions to these grades were made while Mr. New was the Postmaster General. Al- ready efforts are being made to de- mote these men, . The Railway Mail Association, an organization of white railway postal employees, has forwarded a_resolu- tion here to the effect that it is the sense of that organiadtion that no colored employee be in a supervisory position over white employees. Headed Voters Division In the recent campaign Mr. Brown, who supervised the work of the col- ored voters division of the Republi- can National Committee, developed the reputation of not being very liberal in his views regarding color- ed people.. Robert R. Church, politi- cal leader of Memphis, Tenn., refus- ed to have anything to do with Mr, Brown or the colored voters division. Ugly Reports | Two ugly reports showing Mr, Brown's attitude were ‘circulated. One concerned the threatened strike of colored employees in the Chicago headquarters of the Republican na- tional committee. Mr. Brown is said to have gone to Chicago to settle the dispute. When he got there, he was presented a proposed wage scale which included salaries of $100 and se @ week and expenss of $10 a ay. Mr. Brown is said to have told the group of colored men who presented the salary demand that he did not consider any colored man worth over eS al Be Lit: De: ‘ocit quality ai mocrats The other report "that was circu- Jated about Mr. Brown is that he told Roscoe C. Simmons that the trouble with colored people is that they want social equality and, even if he could, he is not inclined to grant it to them and that he thought il would be a good thing if Negroes would join the Democratic party. These two stories are considered as indications of his attitude toward colored people and of the improba- bility of any promotion of a colored postal employee or appointment of a deserving colored Republican to an office higher than that now held by Gaincy. = ie a ‘Whites Sue to Control : St. Louis Negro Hospital ST, LOUIS, Mo, — Another move to prevent the erection of the new city hospital for Negroes at Goode avenue and Whittier street will be undertaken by white opponents of the project, this.time through injunc- tion proceedings in the Circuit Cours against this city, s ‘Whites have the stpport of Mayor Miller, who is in favor ‘of building the $1,200,000 Negro hospital as an adjunct of the white city hospital.

Douglass Church Trial To Go On attended at the next session of the annual conference. In this petition, the Rev. Mr. Douglas admits the seriousness and far reaching effect of adverse action the committee might take in the event it is upheld by the conference. "Unless enjoined and restrained by this Honorable Court," he sets forth, "the trial committee will meet and in this event your petitioner will be found guilty and as a punishment be suspended or expelled from the ministry. In either event this action will irreparably injure your complainant, not only as a minister of the gospel but as an honorable citizen of the community." According to the laws of the A.M.E church and those governing such proceedings, if the conference withdraws ordination papers from the Rev. Mr. Douglas it will prevent him from exercising ministerial privileges until some other body ordains him. For violations of the church laws the conference can ask for these papers back and in the event they are not returned they can make publication that they have been officially withdrawn. The performance of marriage ceremonies and similar acts would be irregular until the minister had been ordained again. No temporary injunction was granted by the Court. An order to show cause was issued and that order has been answered according to Attorney Fitzgerald. The committee can proceed with its work, he said. The basis of the petition filed by the Rev. Mr. Douglas was that he had tendered his resignation and therefore the M.E. Conference had no further jurisdiction over him. He stated that he could not go back into the conference without losing his present charge. MARYLAND CORDTOWN, Md.-Services were well attended Sunday, with class led by Charlie Mitchell.

Although the peri olical call of the rag and paper men is well known in the Baltimore household, few realize what a big industry rubbish and refuge afford a number of people. Out at the West Port refuse dump, where much of the city's trash is carried, many livings are literally combed out of the tons of stuff carted there an AFRO-AMERICAN reporter learned. in the form of rags, old iron, copper, brass, and other metals he sells to the commercial at a profit. In his organization also are the ers who live on the place, are generally men who are will make their habitat in an imp shack and their chief duty watch the place, keep down fir burn up any perishable mater which no use can be found. Independent Workers At the top of this organization is the "Dump Baron," so called because he holds a concession to the dump or section where rubbish is taken. He exacts a toll of fifteen cents for every load of rubbish allowed to be deposited there. Hundreds of wagons and trucks bringing the day's cast off from business houses and residences pass by him to empty their loads. Buys Junk In addition he buys valuable junk in the form of rags, old iron, paper, copper, brass, and other metals which he sells to the commercial dealers at a profit. In his organization also are the keepers who live on the place. These are generally men who are willing to make their habitat in an improvised shack and their chief duty is to watch the place, keep down fires and burn up any perishable material for which no use can be found. Independent Workers In addition to these regular employees are a number of independent workers who comb the loads of material brought there each day for junk which they can turn into cash. All of the paper and rags, especially, is taken by the "gleaners," bound into packages and resold. Out at the West Port dump there is a woman, 60 years of age, who for four years, she says, has made her livelihood combing the rubbish. While her mainstay is the daily amount of paper, rags and metal junk taken; she has also found valuable trinkets. She lives in the 200 block of Gilmor street and his six children. She gets thirty cents per hundred pounds for paper, and fifteen cents per hundred pounds for iron. Groceries and Fruit When the down-town business place finds on its hands a crate of fruit or lot of groceries which does not come up to its standard, the quickest way to dispose of it is to have their own truck take it to the dump. Thus much of the material from produce houses is salvaged by the caretakers. There are also thousands of boxes both paper and board, which are collected and carefully sorted for sale to other concerns. The money made on sugar and flour barrels alone run into the thousands of dollars, it was said.

It was a typical early game with both teams making more than their share of errors. Hull, pitching for Howard, had the "Hilltoppers" eating out of his hand until the last of the fourth. Here State's fireworks began, Captain Corprew doubled to left field and was scored by a clean single by Powell. In all, three runs were scored in this frame. From there on with Brown mowing down the Bisons in regular fashion, State steadily crept up, to finally pass the D. C. aggregation and turn in their first victory of the season.

On the other hand there are other son BEAT Fields but was robbed on respondence of our ring side witness than mild exaggeration. Our inform round it was practically Fields all maining two rounds we are told, his son, would not have been sufficient to. We can see how arguments may be into the ring of these several pairs and we also see how Fields, viewing them as foes, would have this basis we believe there is some decision. However, on the contentious ROBBED, we cannot agree. And it been decisively beaten by Fields son. Another objectionable part of the agitation for a law to prevent it will be remembered that one per injured in the near riot that attains animosity have been smouldering in. If mixed bouts cannot be held with should not be held in ANY State, knows no bounds, and it is a glovetwentieth century civilization when like beasts.

Our arguments may be advanced to show that these several people, should show Fields, viewing them as friends, would have entirely different lives there is some justification in a paper, on the contention that Thompson not agree.

Been smouldering in Chicago for some cannot be held without endangering held in ANY State. The violence of us, and it is a gloomy commentary by civilization when supposedly civil hope that a solution to the problem position of the color line. AN UNSAVORY FINALE is being staged to the Thompson-Fields fight in Chicago. There have been some who would say that Thompson was robbed of the decision, and Thompson's manager, Ray Alvis, has already said that he will protest the decision awarding Fields the bout and the championship. Alvis claims that during the free-for-all, attendant upon the fight, the bout was stopped for more than five minutes and that the ring was invaded by others than the fighters and the referee. The rules of the Illinois Boxing Commission state that "no one except the principals and referee are permitted to enter the ring during the contest, except between rounds." Thompson's manager further declares that his fighter was unnerved by the stampede of spectators when the panic broke out in the Coliseum. It is not hard for us to imagine the mental reactions that must have been the property of Young Jack when he saw a number of the Nordic brethren jumping into the ring. It is very easy to understand just how he might have been affected. Situations of that kind are not mere trivialities. On the other hand there are other howlers who insist that Thompson BEAT Fields but was robbed of the decision. Judging from correspondence of our ring side witness, this latter statement is more than mild exaggeration. Our informant tells us that up to the eighth round it was practically Fields all the way. The margin of the remaining two rounds we are told, had they gone decisively to Thompson would not have been sufficient to turn the tide. We can see how arguments may be advanced to show that the climbing into the ring of these several people, should affect BOTH fighters, and we also see how Fields, viewing them as friends, and Thompson, viewing them as foes, would have entirely different reactions. On this basis we believe there is some justification in a protest against the decision. However, on the contention that Thompson was deliberately ROBBED, we cannot agree. And it must be remembered that he had been decisively beaten by Fields some time previous. Another objectionable part of the aftermath to the fight is found in the agitation for a law to prevent mixed bouts in the State of Illinois. It will be remembered that one person was killed and thirty critically injured in the near riot that attended the fight. The fires of racial animosity have been smouldering in Chicago for some time. If mixed bouts cannot be held without endangering human life they should not be held in ANY State. The violence of racial passions knows no bounds, and it is a gloomy commentary to make upon twentieth century civilization when supposedly civilized persons act like beasts. We hope that a solution to the problem can be reached without the imposition of the color line. HAIL.

That he has not fallen short of any predictions made of him is evidenced by a newspaper dispatch from Ann Arbor, where Tolan is a student at the University of Michigan. The dispatch says: "Michigan, long noted for its galaxy of star sprinters, seems to have uncovered another athlete likely to take his place alongside such stars as Archie Hahn, Ralph Craig, Hal Smith, Les Wittman, DeHart Hubbard and George Hester. "The latest Wolverine sensation is Eddie Tolan, colored boy who won the 100-yard and 220-yard interscholastic championships two years ago. "Tolan made his Western Conference debut in the Big Ten indoor track and field meet at Iowa City recently. He not only won his heat in fast time but, finished second to George Simpson, Ohio State's Conference Champion, in the finals of the 60-yard dash. His effort, by the way, was the only bright spot on an otherwise drab Michigan showing." If Tolan is not entered in too many meets and in too many events, he should go far. We remember that as a Detroit schoolboy he figured in many track meets. The burnt out athlete is no rarity among our group.

Utopia Boys Place in Meet NEW YORK.-The Boys' Athletic League held their Annual Indoor Meet, Friday at the 212th Armony. Utopia House, with an entry of sixteen boys, made an unusual fine showing, winning the 110 lb. and senior relays out if four and taking second place in the 85 lb. In the 40 yard dash (85 lb.), Rufus Kent placed first winning a gold medal. Orlando Crawford placed second in 40-yard dash (75 lb.), winning a silver medal, while in the 50-yard dash (100 lb.). Alvin Webb took first and Alvin Mack, second. The talk of the meet was the sensational 100-lb. relay which was an easy victory for Webb, Mack. Alexander and Nicholas, while Hanks. Willis, Kensler and Carlos walked away with the senior relay. The 85-lb. relay which took second place, was composed of Holmes, Crawford, Lawrence and Kent. JOHNSON STARS WIN ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Chicago wintry blasts swept Michigan boulevard with the precision and gusto of a finicky old maid—furnished the incentive for Jack Johnson to ascend the pugilistic stairs that later led him to the heavyweight championship of the world. Anyway, that's the story the old master tells to Hype Igoe of the New York World, from whom we got the yarn. Years ago Johnson was on a "coffee and" diet—broke, and in Chicago.. It was a bitter winter, and the streets were solid ice. Having broken into the pugilistic game, Jack was hanging around one of the small gymnasiums in the hope of pickin up an odd dollar or two. Meets Frank Childs "He met Frank Childs, the heaviest weight," Igoe tells us, "and told him he didn't have a place in which to sleep. 'Come over to my room.' said Childs. "and I'll let you share my bed. It's not much, but it's a warm room." "For several blustering nights Johnson enjoyed the red glow of a little round wood stove that stood in the center of the room." Then along about the fifth night Childs came home. He walked over to the bed where Johnson was dreaming of sunny Galveston. A fellow, larger than either Childs or Johnson, followed Johnson's benefactor into the room.

'You'll have to get out of that bed. I've got my cousin from Memphis, to share the bed with me to-night.' None of Johnson's pleadings were of avil against the adamant Childs, and he was forced to shuffle out into the bitter cold. Johnson's greatest regret was that he had to leave the stove that looked like a big red apple. "Years later, when he had become quite a fighter, Johnson was in Los Angeles, and someone asked him would he fight the great Frank Childs, of Chicago. Johnson's memory went back to that red stove and the blustery winter night—he accepted. Then came the night of the fight. The lordly Childs did not remember Johnson. 'Don't you remember the big boy you put out in the storm—the boy you parted from that little red stove.' Johnson queried of his opponent. Makes Memory Vivid "When Childs admitted that he did faintly recall the incident, Johnson said: I'm going to go even tonight. I'm going to make you wish you were back with that little red stove." With every blow Johnson reminded Childs of that red apple stove, and needless to say, Childs felt that retribution had been made by the time Johnson had finished bruising him."

WATSON Remember the days when the “world’s champ” tcured the coun- tr meeting all comers in his weight class, offering < hundred dollars to anyone who lasted five or six rounds? Those days are gone forever. A seant few of the pres~-t crop of champions still tour the country, but they are booked in bag punching exhibitions. Had any one of these toughs lasted six rounds with the champ he would have gained lots of prestige in his jown, being forever pointed out as “the guy who stayed the limit with the champ.” Knocked Out Half-Dozen Generally, the enamp would Knock out at least six toughs in succession and then spend the rest of the eve- ning amusing the audience with an exhibition of fancy ag punching tricks. I personally knew Joe Gans and once asked’ him, “Aren't vou afraid somebody might knock you out while on such tours, Joe?” “No, Fred,” he replied, “you see it’s like this; if Z lose it’s all right. May the best man win!” Cunning Tricks Today Present. day a champs and their managers don’t risk their titles any more. They have learned a lot of cunning little tricks to retain their titles indefinitely Such tricks as forcing their opponents to come into the ring over weight, selecting “easy marks,” naming their own referee, ete. Sometimes tne champ and man- ager. both miss their guess, .a'€ the case of Joe Dundee, welter champ, and his manager, Max Wax- man, When they selected Young Jack Thompson, neither Dundee nor his manager entertained the slight- est idea that they had made > mis- take in the “easy mark’ stuff. How- ever, both seem to have ‘iad the pres- ence of mind »> insist that Thomp- son come in the ‘ring one pound over weight. Lucky for them they did insist on over-weight, for Thompson startled the sporting world by knocking Dun- dee cold in two rounds. The mere fact that Thompson was one pound over weight robbed him of the wel- ter-weight crown. Another tault of present-day champs is their eagerness to fight outside of their weight class. They disregard challengers of their own iclass and clamor for bouts with op- penents who are many pounds heay- jer. knowing that if such fights are lost they still retain their titles and prestige, likewise. Fighting Gut Of Class The old-timer fought “out of his class” only when he scarcity of op- ponents forced him to do it. Joe Walcott, once welter champ, met many heavy-weights, there being no challengers in his class. George Dixon held two titles at one and the same time’ — feat! erweight and ban- tamweight. Bob Fitzsimmons also held two—middleweight and heavy- weight. And these men defended their titles whenever they were chal- lenged. | Long Bouts In days gone. by championship bouts were scheduled for -a period of not less than twentv rounds and some to the limit; or until one of the two fighters was knocked out.

Battling Wong scored a technical knockout over Lou Irby after the latter had apparently cinched the fight. Wong's victory was his first in many starts at the Albert. Persistence in following a "watchful waiting" policy instead of boring in at opportune times, cost Battling Sikl the decision in his bout with Eddie Cooper. Jackie Correll was awarded the decision over Harry Vincent, but many of the fans wondered why THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1929 "Cum" Posey Termed The Greatest Athlete Little But Mighty—Owner of the Pittsburgh Homestead Grays, Baseball Team—Made His Mark In Basketball And Baseball. By W. ROLLO WILSON Frequently sports writers on daily papers have asked me, "Whom do you consider as the outstanding athlete of your race, past and present?" Several names present themselves and I vision Paul Robeson, mighty end of Rutgers' great teams; John Henry Lloyd, still a baseball star after twenty years; Oscar Charleston, peer of any man (the diamond. And another. And that other, because he fought to the top without the fanfare of school publicity and the plethoric bank roll of magnates behind him, looms above them all. He made his own organization, he and his fellows financed their own clubs; at last, through as an active athlete, he became an owner of a sports crew. His name is Cumberland Posey, Jr. Of "Cum" I write with a knowledge born of close contact through many years. It was my pleasure to be associated with him in the days when our slogan was, "The game's the thing," and when his upward surge was at its crest. BORN IN WEALTH His has been a varied career in the glare of the sporting spotlight. Born of wealthy parents, Posey could have had every educational advantage and at various times was a student at Penn State, at Holy Ghost College (now Duquesne University) and Pitt But an adventurous and turbulent spirit brooked no faculty interference with his desires and he never stayed anywhere long enough to get the recognition which might have been his. Basketball was always his hobby and he left Penn State because the powers that be refused him permission to go on a trip. Of course, they were within their rights, since the sandy-haired Cum . as not as well up in his studies as he should have been So home to Homestead he came and conceived the idea of a floor team among his playmates. Then came into being the "Monticello Club." named for the street which was the home of the Rickmond boys. ON MONTICELLO TEAM On that Monticello team in the beginning were Walter Clark, Bud Brown, Charlie Rickmond, Dick Garrison, Joe Mahoney, Jim Dorsey, Frank Bell, Austin Norris, George Bell, Seward Posey and others whose names are lost in the limbo of the years. In those days—1912—the collegiate champs were at Howard University The persuasive powers of the Posey were used to good advantage and the chesty collegians came to Pittsburgh for a practice game with the kids. When the tumult and shouting had died Howard was badly licked by the tyros of the court. The score was 25-19, and the ever-famous combination of Gilmore-Sykes-Gray-Oliver-Nixon was a wiser and sadder bunch. That victory "made" Monticello and immediately the team was in demand in New York, then the basketball center of the universe. To New York the blithesome youths journeyed and wrecked two more wonder fives. Alpha and the Brooklyn Smart Set. That was the beginning of intercity basketball history and Monticello more than held its own with the best that New York could boast. We journeyed east to triumph year after year. Alpha, Incorporators, St Christopher, Spartans trekked west to defeat year after year. Now and then we lost but the Posey jinx was asserting itself over the best that Gotham could muster. Posey was a name to conjure with and he was as well known on Seventh Avenue, New York, as he was on Wylie Avenue, Pittsburgh. Manhattan Casino groaned beneath the weight of the crowds which came to cheer or jeer for the slender blond westerner who upset their dearest teams. After the battles they wined us and dined us and the town was our collective friend. The athletic organizations vied one with another to entertain the Poseymen. There were theater parties at the Lafayette, dinner parties at the Libya, Hayne's, Golderaben's. Youth and sport were having their fling. Of a necessity replacements were many, for such a club could not live on the reputation of the seasons agone. To the Posey banners came college lads and others—boys who had been taught the game on our junior team—to learn a little more from the Master of the Show. Into and out of the red and white woolens and out of the red and such men as the original team. Sell and Howard Hall. Lukie Williams. Fats Jenkins. George Gilmore. Cracker Holland Himmy Edmonds and others. And then sounded the alarms of war. Conditions changed. The game war commercialized. Monticello lost its identity in the Leondi Club and basketball knew its greatest team of all time. "WONDER" TEAM FORMED The forwards were Posey and the lamented George Gilmore. childhood chum of mine up in the oil country Howard an Alpha star of later days. Sessors of Lincoln jumped center and the guards were "Greasy" Betts, product of the Homestead Steel Works, and Young, Lincoln immortal. No team before or since ever has known the power and the ability c. Leondi. No Negro five on earth could equal them. When death or circumstance severed the ranks, Georgie Fiall, Specs Moten, Pappy Ricks, Rock Anderson, "Lyss" Young or a budding rookie filled the gan. One could take Cum Posey, Young and "Greasy" Betts and any two mediocre players and have a world's championship five. Of a truth, these three musketeers were the Athos, Portos and D'Artagnan of the floor. Giants crumpled and quit before the fragile-looking Posey, Sabre of the Monon Valley. He was at once a ghost, a buzz saw, a "shooting fool." The word "quit" has never been translated for him. JEWISH TEAM THREATENS In their good days but one team ever caused the Posey passers any trouble. That was the Coffey Club. of Pittsburgh, a group of Jewish boys who had lived and fought all of their lives in that Ghetto which is "the Hill district." These battles were classics and in all the years of civil warfare only one game saw a final score where there was a margin greater than three points between winner and loser. In football Posey was an "outlaw" from his set. He cast his lot with the Collins Tigers, the "roughneck" team of the Washington Park playground, and was always their Frank Merriwell in the annual game with the Delaney Rifles, the diety outfit conceived by genial "Cap" Steward Here again his size was the trap which ensnared the Goliaths of the gridiron. FINE BASEBALL PLAYER In baseball he was a fleet outfielder, a fair hitter and always the possessor of the Posey brain. And in the sport where he shone least he now makes a comfortable living. For he and Charlie Walker own the Homestead Grays. Of this club much has been written. One needs add only that it is the grown-up whose infant monicker was the Silver Leaf (or was it Maple Leaf?) A. A. of the summers when Sell Hall was almost as good a pitcher as he told you he was Cum Posey the athlete, is now Cum Posey, the magnate. He is an opportunist who has made sport pay him liberally for his contributions to it. I doubt if any Negro sports figure is known to as many people as Posey. Derelicts and plutocrats call him "Cum" and he replies in kind "CUM" GREAT SPORT When he walks to the coaches' box at first base the fans cheer him. When he protests a decision they jeer him. But there is nothing evil, nothing lasting, in their venom of the moment. He's their friend and if they want to cuss him, that's their prerogative. Cum Posey belongs to the sport world: he is in it and of it and it is proud of him. So, if you are still asking me whom I consider the greatest athlete, the one who has meant the most to "the game," the answer is "Cum Posey." BLACK SOX BOSS 1930 Ladies and gents, step up and meet Manager Frank Warfield, of the Baltimore Black Sox, acquired in a trade from the Hillcale club, succeeding Ben Taylor.

West River, Md.; Farlow's, Berlin, Md. DAY BY DAY By WILLIAM N. JONES Lilializing the Clothes of Men. And now comes a proposal that men be allowed to wear blouses and discard conventional coats and wristcoats for summer attire. While women have always suited their clothes to the weather the best that men have been able to do has been to change the texture of goods or take off the conventional coat at play or work. Fashion's arbiters say they will fit to make it all right for men to sit in church and other places in a middy blouse, so made as to support pants and if desired minus long sleeves. Some fifteen years ago men tried out for a short period a shirtwaist attire, a few of them becoming brave enough to appear among conventionally dressed groups. But the fad lasted but one or two seasons and men again began to swelter in coats. Then came the summer cloths which brought some relief. But why should men ever have been made to keep within such a limited variation of style as the conventional pants, coat and vest involves? A cheaper summer costume, which can be more quickly discarded in the interest of cleanliness and whose style can be changed from time to time would not only add to the solid comforts of the male sex, but help their peace of mind and pocketbooks as well. All hail the blouse! What Shall We Do Regarding the South? No one who has followed the trend of events since President Hoover's nomination could have been surprised at the announcement that there is to be another "reconstruction" of the Republican party in the South. Simple honesty would make any one admit that the Republican party in the South needs "reconstructing," but though the smoke of an oil scandal is still curling over the White House roof, and the slime of a million-dollar graft still oozing from under the pillars, and our governmental machinery about to collapse under prohibition debauchery, this Hoover vacuum cleaner is geared to clean up only a few petty race politicians; yet its rattling must leave the Negro party leaders apprehensive, to say the least. To my mind there can be but one interpretation of the announcement and that is that the Republican party is to sacrifice the race group to the lily-whites in the South. And frankly from a purely political standpoint you cannot blame the Hoover chieftains for this decision, for it is based on sound log rolling philosophy. The Hoover leaders know that voting lily-whites are worth more in close elections than disfranchised race citizens. AND. WHAT IS MORE SHAMEFUL, THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN CORRAL ENOUGH NEGRO LEADERSHIP TO KEEP THE MACHINE VOTE IN NORTHERN AND WESTERN CENTERS IN LINE. AND ENOUGH HEADS OF WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS. CHURCH PRELATES, GRAND GOBLINS OF THIS AND THAT ORDER. TO KEEP A WORKING MAJORITY OF THE GROUP IN THE PARTY EVEN THOUGH THEY KICK THEM OUT THE BACK DOOR AFTER THE VOTING IS OVER. Will They Get Away With This? Even if the Republican leaders get a shock at the next election, at this time they have sound and good reasons for believing that they will be able to slide the Negro out in the Republican South, and yet placate him enough to get his vote in the voting North and West. They believe that men and women like Robert R. Church, Bishop A. J Carey, Benjamin Davis, Miss Nannie Burroughs, Mrs. Hallie Q. Brown, Perry W. Howard and L. K. Williams can always be depended upon to answer the call of the Republican leadership, no matter what the party leaders do. But shall the more progressive let them get away with it? During the last campaign it was demonstrated that not only are there a number of conscientious men and women ready to emancipate themselves from both major parties, but it was seen that there is a growing number of leaders in every community ready to take their places in any modern political organization which has a vital program effecting their interests. They won't be satisfied with the Republican administration turning heaven and earth to enforce the 18th Amendment while they condone manifest violation of the 14th and 15th. If there is to be any "reconstruction" in the South it must also include the rotten condition wherein hard working colored citizens are denied a chance to make the party decent down there. It is about time for the progressive men and women in the group to stop asking what the party is going to do for them, and go out do something for themselves.

An independent political organization, which could command a quarter million votes, organized on the precinct plan, in every community North, South, East and West, should be begun right now, and it should be courageous enough to throw these votes to whatever movement or party—major or minor—stands for the best interests of the group during these four years. If none of the present parties or movements prove satisfactory, then they should vote a quarter million vote of protest to defeat the worst of the major groups.

Walter R. Langley 1418 Jefferson Street BIRTHDAYS THE FUTURE. By Edgar A. Guest glory's seron. But small and trivial is the past, It is the future which is vast! [right] 1980. Fidson A. Guest K. M. SAYS By KELLY MILLER Did Hoover consult Hawkins on his lily white program for Dixie? Hoover policy may mean revolt in G. O. P. The expected has happened. The things prophesied have come to pass. In my release last week I predicted that the political reconstruction of the South was at hand. I claim no gift of prophecy for this fore-knowledge, but merely the ability to discern the signs of the times. During, the last campaign, I pointed out in a half dozen releases that a deep seated political cunning underlay the surface appearance of things. Kansas City did not supplant composite delegations with their lily-white rivals merely to safeguard Mr. Hoover's political fortune. By shrewd discernment the far-seeing statesman saw a chance to split the solid South and to build up a functioning Republican party as a result of the cleavage. Rum and Romanism The issues of "Rum and Romanism" led to a new rebellion. The long awaited opportunity had arrived. Now comes Mr. Hoover and makes a clean breast of the whole situation. From the days of McKinley to those of Calvin Coolidge, the Grand Old Party had vaguely and vainly hoped to build up a competing Republican party in the South. Two insurmountable obstacles stood squarely athwart the path of that purpose—the Fifteenth Amendment and the leadership of the Negro. The Kansas City Convention soft pedaled the Fifteenth Amendment and side tracked the Negro. The progress of the campaign made plain the thinly disguised policy. Three Steps The fall of the Negro from his reconstruction political prestige and power has witnessed three decisive steps: 1. The withdrawal of force to assure fair elections by President Hayes. 2. The exclusion of the Negro from appointive positions in the South by Taft. 3. The withdrawal of Federal patronage from Negro patronage monks by Hoover. The first eliminated the Negro from elective office, the second excluded him from appointive positions, and the third removes him from leadership in Republican organizations. White Men I said during the campaign, in an open letter to Candidate Hoover, and now repeat, that it was necessary to place white men in charge of political machinery in order to build up Republican power in the South on a competitive basis with the Democratic antagonist, either locally or nationally. Under existing circumstances the Negro has neither the resources, influence, connections or courage to assume militant leadership. As a matter of fact, existing Negro leadership, served only secondary and subordinate ends. It merely manipulated delegates to the National Republican Conventions and put white men in office who were more or less kindly disposed to the Negro in minor matters. There was no indication of securing to the race as a whole the rights to vote in local or national elections. This leadership might have gone on for a hundred years, and at the end of the century the Negro's political status would have N" Is Here For Excursions To nts on the Bay Brown's Grove I run exclusively for Colored People from now until the first of May. ation is made, as positively no dates wishes to engage dates. My complaint against Mr. Hoover is not so much for what he has done as for the manner of his doing it. His whole program is ostensibly based on corruption and analysis is laid at the door of the analysis is laid at the door of the colored race, and is calculated to damn the Negro to everlasting infamy. It is alleged that the discredited leadership trafficked in Federal patronage. Practically every white political leader in the South has or does lie under like allegation. The Negro is made to bear the chief brunt of the stigma. These leaders might have been eliminated on the score of political expediency as effectively as upon the unproved charge of corruption. The chief objective was not to get rid of corruption, but to install white leadership, which in turn is demanded by the inexorable law of political necessity. All Except Church Mr. Hoover's recent pronouncement but confirms what had already taken place. Every Negro had already been eliminated from independent leadership, except Robert R. Church, who alone functions effectively in a quasi Republican state, in his own powers. We must wait to see whether he will be corinatedde, subordinated or eliminated under the lily-white-Democratic combination. I am not willing to say at this time, that Mr. Hoover intends to exclude the Negro entirely from party councils in the South. He was at great palms not to indulge in wholesale condemnation. His cautious reservations left some slight ray of hope for the Negro to sit in the lower seats around the council table. In face of his bold stand for the Constitution and the law, he durst not, in open words, deny any citizen his full status under the law. But as practical men, as Roosevelt used to say, we know full well that the illy-white program is advocated, whether Mr. Hoover chews that specific phraseology or no. He cannot invite Southern Democrats into the party without waving colored men out so far as equality of management and leadership are concerned. What Might Result The building up of a competitive Republican party may in the long run bring the undisputed right of suffrage to the Negro as it has already done in Maryland, West Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky and, I had almost said, in Tennessee. The immediate sacrifice and the ultimate reward must be weighed in the balance. The bugbear of Negro domination is thus removed which, it may be hoped, will lead to a more tolerant and liberal mind by those who hold the controlling say in Southern affairs. Questions Will Mr. Hoover insist that his reconstruction policy in Southern politics must square on all fours with the Fifteenth Amendment? Or will he observe a circumspect silence while this amendment is made into a scrap of paper as his predecessors have done? Will he wreck the fabric of his philosophy of public righteousness by comprising on the race questions? Mr. Hoover's whole program, as at present disclosed, leaves us in a quizzical, if not a querulous mood of mind. One wonders how far the consultation and advice of Negro leaders or any leaders, are involved in Mr. Hoover's program. Was Mr. Hawkins consulted? Does he give his approval and consent? How will the Negroes of the North view the matter? There are three possible courses of action for the Negro in the South. He may accept Mr. Hoover's program and make the best terms he can with dominating lily-whites and Hoovercrats. In the second place he may wait for a schism within the Republican party and throw his support to some rival candidate for the nomination in the next election. Or he may seek the best items he can make with his old time Democratic adversary. We can only hope, and trust and watch. Should Pay Debts (From Bel Air Times) We urge the colored brethren who so ardently supported the Democratic ticket and the local organization during the last presidential campaign to use their influence with their new friends to reveal the obnoxious and humiliating "Jim Crow Law" the only purpose of which is to embarrass them and their families. To degrade them in the eyes of the whites, and to fan a smoother sentiment in the minds of a deserving people An attempt by Republicans has been made to repeal this law, as was the Declaration of Intentions law which was also aimed by the Democratic organization at the colored man. If the Democratic organization of the county and state would only lend their efforts to accomplish these repeals, it would only be a fair return for the support that a number of colored people gave to them during the last campaign.

The colored woman is still an industrial pioneer but she is making slow progress toward wider employment and better working conditions in spite of this fact, according to a statement made by Miss Mary Anderson, Director of the Women's Bureau. U.S. Department of Labor, in a speech before the National Conference of Colored Women in Washington. April 5. "Pioneering days are always hard," Miss Anderson said, "but we find much to encourage us in the Negro woman's present situation. In 1919 the Women's Bureau made its first study of her problems and we found deplorable conditions. But when we made a second study more than a year later, covering all the same plants and some additional ones, we found that the conditions under which the women were working had been materially improved and the sanitary conditions especially were noticeably better. Decrease 22 Per cent "It is very difficult to know the true situation as far as numbers of Negro women employed are concerned," Miss Anderson continued. "The census figures of 1920 show that they had decreased altogether 22 per cent in gainful employment as compared with 1910. "There is some reason to suppose that the Negro man was better able to support his family than he was a decade before, but we must take into consideration also that the census figures give no data on the number of women engaged in part-time jobs in homes other than their own. and the number having boarders and lodgers. Present day apartment house life is undoubtedly increasing the total of part-time workers. More Occupations "It is significant, too, that Negro women have gone into many more industrial occupations than those in which they were found when the last census was taken. For example, while in the tobacco industry they have practically not advanced beyond working in the rehandling of tobacco, they have entered and advanced in the garment trades. They are members of garment-trades unions and as such receive the union scale of wages and have the hours of work prescribed by union contracts. "In the constantly growing hotel, restaurant, and tea-room business an expanding opportunity is found for them. Here in Washington we have an occupational school as a part of the public school system where colored girls can receive excellent training for the needle trades and for CHIGAGO.—(ANP)—Reports from several large industrial centers of the North show that colored workers are being replaced by white workers in increasingly large numbers. In Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Philadelphia, and New York, this movement has begun to assume alarming proportions. Since few of the colored workers thrown out of employment can find new opportunities to work elsewhere, the question naturally arises, "What can colored people do about this condition?" Various reasons have been given as to what prompts employers to discharge colored laborers in favor of white ones. These explanations vary but the most important reasons as stated by some are as follows: 1st. Lack of dependability and laziness on the job. 2nd. Incompetence—inability to do work properly. 3rd. Economic pressure on white workers which aggravates racial discrimination. 4th. Failure or inability to secure union memberships. In view of the dangers due to increasing unemployment, such as a lower standard of living, a higher death rate and an enlarged criminal element, it is apparent that something must be done to correct shortcomings and hold the ground which the World War enabled Negroes to gain in Northern industries. An educational program seems highly necessary.

Expansion Slow "The transition of the Negro woman from the traditional domestic service to industrial pursuits will go forward. I believe, slowly but steadily. It will be slow not only because of prejudice but because industry is not taking on large numbers of workers at present—its expansion now, with very few exceptions, being largely mechanical rather than in terms of human labor. "The progress of employment of Negro women will follow that of white women workers, and their working conditions will continue to improve in line with the general improvement of conditions for all workers."

PHONE MADISON, Wis. — "There is nothing to indicate that Jesus foresees our modern racial problems. It is as useless to look for a solution in the New Testament as it is to seek a plan for the sewage disposal of Chicago there," declared President Glenn Frank, of Wisconsin University, at the International Week Celebration here last week. "Jesus was not a biologist," said President Frank. "He is not an antidote for research of modern anthropology. Christian and atheist, alike, are dependent on the sciences." On the race question President Frank said. "Habits, prejudices, stubbornness and hatreds must be wiped out along with racial egotism, or the demands of the Nordic Protestants of the western world will force civilization to go down in the red sunset of war. Ku Klux "The Ku Klux Klan may be dead but the Ku Klux mind is very much alive. Such a mind is not Christian. Though inferior in mind, it is superior in regalia. The Ku Klux mind copies the same Jews it professes to hate by doing what the Jews once did at Calvary. I find it difficult to believe that Jesus, the Jew, flouted his own race to flatter the Nordics. I am against converting Jesus into a press agent for the Pilgrim fathers." President Frank pointed out "that the Nordic race of the western world is too young to make any definite statement about the biological effect of mixing races and the social and political by-products of mongrelism." He argued, not for the union of superior races against inferior but the union within the race of superiors and inferiors in separate groups so that creed and color might have its best brought out to work alongside of the best of other races. In Conclusion As a conclusion he insisted that if this were not done, a crisis will result for "even the inferior races will have their elite and their elite few will not let their races be trampled upon without resistance."

Church for seven years. He declined a transfer to Clarksburg, W. Va., and instead set up an independent church of his own. In his sermon Sunday on Evidences of the Resurrection, he said: "From a human point of view, the coming of death reasonably appears to be the end of all life, beyond the grave we may only resort to suppo sitien. "The conclusion reached by naturalists and biologists do not support the Biblical account of the resurrection and skeptics in no small number have accepted them. number "Regardless of all theories, we must, especially as Christians, believe that Christ arose, for we have evidence in plant life, in insect life, in animal life. Who can critically explain why the corn when matured, extracts its life from the stalk and stems and secures it in thousands of tiny grains? Or why or how does the caterpillar pass on to a butterfly? "Regenerated men and women have a belief in this fundamental Christian doctrine that is closely akin to knowledge and need no persuasion. To those who are scrubulous, I invite them to Nature's School of varied plant and animal life, where doing and getting up follow the seasons." MARYLAND CHESTER MARYLAND THE STERK CHESTER. Md....

Tucker pointed out that such a representation presented the Saviour in a most inconsistent light. The Rev. A. J. Green said that it would not have been majestic for the Son of God to sit at the tomb telling of His own resurrection. Body Different Another statement by the Rev. Crawley that the Saviour's resurrected body was the same in nature as before His crucifixion, was debated. "The body of the Saviour was not the same after the resurrection." The Rev. A. J. Payne said: "It became omnipotent after the resurrection. That is why he bade the women to touch him not." Body Same The Rev. J. R. Butler insisted that the body did not change. "Had the mortal body which went down in the grave not risen in its same state the resurrection wouldn't have meant anything," he said. "How could He have said 'Look at the wounds in my hands and my side,' had His body been changed?" The statement in the sermon that the Saviour's quick death had saved His legs from being broken as was the custom in protracted crucifixions, drew the correction that the reason his legs were not broken was because God did not intend it. The prophecy of Jeremiah that "not a bone in his bdoy shall be broken" was cited as proof that God did not will this mutilation. Body of Risen Lord is Not Known—Dr. Hill RICHMOND, V2. — The Second Baptist Church was crowded to its full capacity with worshippers Easter Sunday morning. Dr. Joseph T. Hill, the pastor, spoke upon the theme. "He Is Risen." "Nobody knows with what body Christ rose," said the preacher. "It was a body that could show scars, could eat and the like, yet it was a body that could pass through a closed door. The big thing is that he rose." A vested choir of eighty voices sang with beauty and excellence the anthem "Zion Awake." As in the case of the Roanoke Baptist Church of Hot Springs, Ark., from which came Rev. Hill last year, the music of the church is being greatly enriched. Mrs. Albritton Jackson is directing the choir. On Sunday afternoon the second regular monthly musical was given by the choir. McKeesport Pastor Dies The Rev. Clement C. Gill, pastor of McKeesport, Pa. M. E. Church, died Sunday, according to a telegram received by friends here. The pastor, who has been sick for some time was unable to attend the M. E. Conference held here last week. He had pastored for 21 years, serving at Churcton, Md., Alexandria and Richmond, Va., Washington, Pa., Fairmount and Parkersburg, W. Va. Phila. Churches PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—About 1,000 persons were present at the 11 o'clock service held at the Union Baptist Church, Easter Sunday, and heard the Rev. Kirkland preach on the resurrection of Christ. The Three-Hour Agony Services, held in the Catholic and Protestant Episcopal Churches on Good Friday, from 12 to 3 p.m., were more largely attended than ever before. Plans have been completed for conducting an "Every Member Campaign" at Lombard Street Central Presbyterian Church, Ninth and Lombard streets, beginning the third Sunday in April. The general committee in charge of the campaign is headed by William Neely, a member of the board of trustees. Rev. L. S. Coleman is pastor. It is the desire of the committee to reach every home of members and communicants of the church, urging more regular attendance at church services throughout the year. The committees appointed by the general chairman will be assisted throughout the campaign by the pastor, Rev. Leonidas S. Coleman. The annual election of vestrymen for the ensuing year was held at St. John the Divine, Easter Monday night. S. S. Lesson S. S.

We who knew him best, know he lived for it. His life was the same, from childhood through youth. He advocated honesty, industry and truth. Ever foremost in advocating high ideals, This encouraged the race to achieve. Some regarded his activities with contempt, others like comrades on life's road, put their shoulders to the wheel and helped him to achieve his goal. He was greatly concerned about our future life. He knew, to be successful in life, we should value time—get pleasure out of work and value character highly. Play the game of life squarely and value solidarity. Fulfill all obligations, and learn the value of kindness. He valued good manners as highly as money. Unity in family, church, and state were needful for all. In our effort to memorialize our beloved parent, we present the above word picture of his life. HE IS JUST AWAY I cannot say, and I will not say That he is dead.—he is just away! With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you—O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return.

The girl, fashionably dressed and sporting a loosely-fitting fur coat, interrupted and corrected in a guardian-like tone of the docile garageman's evasive testimony, and assisted him in giving the evidence that they had been in the city earlier in the day than he at first admitted, and they were to go back to Washington, Monday morning. Lingers in Court After paying his fine Thomas ignored the stares of court spectators and lingered until the girl and her friends left closely behind him.

Butler, Miss Evelyn Koger, Miss Whitlock, and Mr. Walter Miller; now you know that these folks are having one clowning good time. Don't you envy them? THOMAS P KIMMITT JR. Maryland Lady Knew Answer "Yes, sir, I am certainly proud of my little boy" says Mrs. Thomas P. Kimmitt, 403 Whitridge Ave., Baltimore. "He's the picture of health as you can see, and I feel like he'll always be that way as long as I can get California Fig Syrup. I have used it with him ever since he was a year old. I knew what to give him for his colds and his feverish, upset spells because I had used California Fig Syrup with his older sister. I have used it freely with my baby and he loves it. It always gives him up quick." In many homes, nowadays, the third and fourth generations are using pure, wholesome California Fig Syrup because it has never failed to do what is expected of it. Nothing so quickly and thoroughly purges a child's system of the souring waste which keeps him cross-feverish, headachy, bilious, half-sick, with coated tongue, bad breath and no appetite or energy as long as it is allowed to remain in the little stomach and howies. Fig Syrup gives tone and strength to these organs so they continue to act as Nature intends them to do, and helps build up and strengthen weak, pale and underweight children. Over four million bottles used a year shows its popularity. The genuine, endorsed by physicians for 50 years, always hears the word "California."

Some night when constipation must be relieved—or colic pains—or other suffering. Never be without it; some mothers keep an extra bottle.

No Fear in South In the South, where Negroes have their own houses, nothing of a com. plicated nature is expected.

CLAIRE WINDSOR ARTHUR STONE CLYDE COOK JANE WINTON JOHN BLYSTONE PRODUCTION Chords And Dis-chords A Challenge to Young Musicians. The Symphony Concert. By W. LLEWELLYN WILSON Negro musicians throughout the United States of America who are seriously concerned about the present and future development of the Negro's unique contribution to the truly great music of the world, named by the soul stirring syncopated' polyrhythms, many times must laugh right out loud at some of the weak. and inane vaporings of some of their fellow craftsmen as they often in so-called lecture-recitals attempt to show that all Negro music, is from the gutter. the gutter. Jazz as they define it is a type of barbarian, primal music which tends to stir only the baser emotions and which stimulates only the lowest an- inal passions. Every effort is often put forth by a certain type of poorly trained Negro-hating musicians to discredit every bit of Negro music that has at any time caught the fancy of the masses. The writer is well aware that the Negor's place in the music world of the future will never be determined by the squeaking of prejudiced musicians, whose utterances in some instances reveal their michelle minds. Neither will the highest commendation of the world's best music critics give any permanent place to Negro music, unless the Negro's music has the divine spark of greatness. Neither mere ear tickling nor teasing may be substituted for music that must reach the intellect and strike the heart. This might be observed (with parionable pride): many first class musicians now in America have, after examination of the Negro idiom, placed their stamp of approval upon the adoption of Negroid melodic invention. Negroid harmonic progression as well as the exotic rhythmic patterns evolved by the American Negro, for the basis of American national music. But national music cannot be brought into being through arbitrary methods. The Negro, to make a distinctive permanent impression in the realm of music must do more than to arrange spirituals, write single "blues" or compose single characteristic pieces. The young American Negro musician should now be at work studying exhaustively the forms of the great sonatas, the great concertos, the great symphonies, the operas of the masters. He should be at work trying to master the severe THE AFRO-AMERICAN-BALTIMORE-SATURDAY-APRIL 6,1929 technique of strict counterpoint as a science and as an art. It is indeed surprising to note how few of our outstanding Negro musicians in this country have a working knowledge of strict counterpoint in its various species, canonic manipulation of melodic themes, fungal analysis, harmonic analysis, the technique of orchestration for an orchestra of symphonic proportions. Many will rise to state that our best schools and our conservatories are giving all of the things enumerated by the usual music school course which is four years, and that is just about long enough to list all of the requirements for sound musicianship Our schools are doing a significant work but musical diplomas like diplomas of any other type should really mark a commencement in the realm of musical endeavor. The Negro musician of to-day, if he hopes to place his musical gifts permanently upon the scrolls of time and upon the ever changing sands of progress, must for a long time intensively study, STUDY, STUDY the underlying principles of musical art: We Negroes, like certain Slav branches of Europe, have suffered politically, economically and socially, long enough to give us a healthy and universal emotional equipment with which to conceive wonderful soul stirring music, but purely emotional urge and outfit will not raise musical ideas to the plane of art, any more than the shrieks, shouts and writhings of a frantic person could be considered the highest form of drama. Musical notions or ideas may have their conception in the emotions but in order that musical notions might become intelligible their conception, birth and development must be based on art principles, of structure form and the manipulation of relative sounds and rhythms. The truly great musicians of other days were all earnest students of music history and of counterpoint harmony and composition. The great Beethoven sought the immortal Schubert. the centenary of whose death we have just commemorated The Symphony Concerts Many local musicians and music lovers have expressed much pleasure at hearing that our group is to have at least two concerts by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at the Douglass High. One of the concerts is to be held for children on Saturday and one for adults to be held Sunday. April 21. at 8:30 p.m. The concerts held last year did much to motivate music appreciation and study among the musically inclined of our group. This type of work was started last year under municipal direction, but it was alleged that poor attendance was one of the contributing causes for abandonment of the Baltimore symphony concerts. While the writer doubts very much that this was entirely responsible, the Saturday morning hour was not a convenient one for many Negro mu- FORM NEW CIRCUIT DETROIT—Bookings, to start early this month, are planned for the new musical comedy and vaudeville circuit which is in the making, according to an announcement released this week. Plans have been made for a systematic booking system and it is further announced that among the units planned for the circuit are Drake and Walker, the Whitman Sisters, Butterbeans and Susie, and the Irvin C. Miller shows. In addition, the circuit management will produce several of its own shows. It has been pointed out that there are many theatres, particularly in the East and Mid-West territory, that are starving for proper attractions, and the new circuit is hailed as an attempt to fill that deficiency. There will be a centrally located main office, with representatives and a publicity department. BUSY IN CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The all-Negro picture, "Hallelujah!" will be released shortly. King Vidor is using more of the people who has had theatrical experience in this picture and people who have been on both lots claim that it is much better than "Hearts in Dixie." Lottie Gee is out here working with Moran and Mack, the famous Two Black Crows." Curtis Mosby, a former Chicagoan has opened a nifty cabaret. Broomfield and Greeley are heading an all-colored revue at Frank Sebostian's roadhouse in Culver City. Willie Cowman of the Four Covans has indicated how well he likes this city by buying a home here. GEORGE DEWEY FREED George Dewey Washington, sincerer, was acquitted by Municipal Judge McDill, Los Angeles, of manslaughter in connection with the death of Irma Reese. waitress, in an auto accident, and charges dismissed on the ground that evidence unheld the verdict of exoneration by coroner's jury. sic lovers. Hence the change to Sunday night for adult patrons. Unless these concerts for our group are largely attended it will be an easier matter for any prejudiced opponent of this worthy music project to oppose their continuance next season. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is an organization of sterling musical worth and under the able leadership of Gustav Strube, the conductor of the orchestra, it has reached a high state of efficiency. Several members of the orchestra including Mr. Strube, the conductor, have told me that they thoroughly enjoy playing to our audiences. Let us make our short but notable symphony season a success. Chorus Boy Six Years Ago Now Has Job as Director Addison Carey, 27, Conceived Idea of Dance Units for Picture House Presentations and Has Been Busy Ever Since. Pittsburgh Theatres PITTSBURGH, Pa.-The 1929 edition of the "Brownskin Models" is showing at the Elmore theatre this week. This Irvin C.

NEW YORK-To those who think that romance is dead on Broadway, the career of Addison Carey, twenty-seven-year-old stage and dance director of the Howard theatre, Washington. D. C. and of numerous other Broadway units, is to be remembered. Six years ago Carey was a chorus boy in Sissle and Blake's "Chocolate Dandies" at twenty-five dollars a week. Today his accomplishments include the staging of no less than a dozen Broadway musicals in less than two years. Mr. Carey had dreams and ambitions, and taking the advice of Chas. Davis, he took charge of the Alhambra theatre. STARTED DANCE UNITS It was while at this post that he conceived the idea of dance units for picture house presentations and organized the sixteen famous Alhambra girls, scheduled to remain at this theatre for a single week. The girls proved so popular that they have been there continually ever since. It was from this unit that Miller and Lyle found Billy Yarbo, the little end comedienne, who was later featured with the Broadway version of "Keep Shuffin" and also with Shubert's "Just-A-Minute" Wilhemina Wade and Corinne Griffith. From this unit are now the end girl; with the New York company of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds". Through Mr. Carey's efforts, he was called upon by the Shuberts to stage the dance numbers of "Lovely Lady" and by Roger Wolf Kahn and James P. McEvoy to stage "Americana". Last summer Mr. Carey took his dance unit to the Lincoln theatre for a week's engagement and stayed at that house for six months, then was contracted by Mr. A. E. Litchman to go to Washington, where he the Howard theatre, that had only played road shows before and he is wanted to try stage presentations at now in his fifteenth week at this popular house, with his famous Howardettes and such clever artists as Shelton Brooks, Galli De Gaston, Charles Ray, Putney Dandridge and other artists. So with his first assignment as a dance director, Addison Carey went to work and the rest is stage history. MARYLAND Frederick, Md. FREDERICK. Md.—Easter exercises were observed at Quinn A.M.E.

Thrilling Story of a Brilliant, Resourceful Negro Leader, who Led the Greatest Revolt of Black Men in Modern Times; His Strategy Baffled the Entire British Army; He Knew No Defeat. Because the American Indian did not submit tamely to the invasion of the white man but fought to preserve his fatherland it is often asserted that the Indian is superior to the Negro. But when the history of the Negro in Africa comes to be written it will be found that he, too, fought as bravely and gallantly to preserve his home land as the Britons, Gauls, Belgians, or any other people one may choose to name. When the Indian and his white friends point with pride to his King Phillips, Geronimos and Sitting Bulls, the Negro may in turn mention his Cetewayos, Lobenguelas and Mosilekazes. Just as Sitting Bull wiped out the entire American expedition sent against him, so Cetewayo, Zulu leader, killed the entire British force sent against him at Isandhlwana. In West Africa Samory, called "The Black Napoleon of the Soudan," fought the French; in Ashanti, Kofi Karjikari fought the British, and in Abyssinia, Menelik routed the Italians. One of the greatest of these Negro patriots was Bambaata. Born in 1865 and head of a lowly tribe known as the Zondi, Bambaata led the greatest black revolt against white supremacy in modern times. For resourcefulness, bravery and daring he has been equalled but not excelled by Washington or any of the great white patriots. Bambaata's daring sacrifice stands out in holder relief when it is recalled that he and his men matched their spears and clubs against modern rifles and cannon. If the charge of the Six Hundred at Baiaclava was sublime madness, what then must be said of Bambaata and his men who charged dozens of modern machine guns armed only with spears? It was certain death. They hadn't a single chance to win. What a theme for some Negro Tennyson! As a boy Bambaata was headstrong and fond of fighting. The Zulu takes great pride in warlike skill, and as a youth Bambaata excelled all his fellows. As he grew to manhood he viewed with increasing resentment the presence of the white intruder in the land of his fathers. Gathering the bolder souls of his tribe around him he made repeated descents on Boer farms, returning with much cattle. He continued these raids until England defeated the Boers and took all of South Africa. The war had lasted three years and the British colonists, finding them- THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE. SATURDAY, APRIL 6. 1929 selves heavily in debt, decided that the black natives should be made to pay a part of the war debt. UNJUST TAXATION Accordingly a poll tax of five dollars was placed against every male native. This was in addition to the hut tax of fifteen dollars, and a dog tax Bambaata's tribe numbered 5,500 and his huts 1,142. When he heard of the new tax he decided that he wasn't going to pay it. More, he decided that he wasn't going to pay any tax at all. He and his people had been getting along quite well before the white man had invited himself into their territories. The other chiefs sympathized with Bambaata, but they advised their people to pay. Many of them had revolted before and had tasted the white man's rifle—the Ubainbai—"the stick that kills from afar," as they called it. There was one exception, however, and that was Sigananda, who had five taxable sons. Sigananda was ninety-six and had taken an active part in the noted massacre of the whites by Chief Dingaan. DEFIES BRITISH On his refusal Bambaata was summoned to headquarters. He would not go, whereupon the government ordered him deposed and another chief named Magwababa, was put in his place. He also refused to go with the policemen sent to arrest him. At this 170 white men and a native troop was sent to bring him. Bambaata fled into Zululand to seek the aid of Dinizulu. Paramount Chief. Dinizulu refused to receive him openly. He, too, had revolted and had been exiled like Napoleon to St Helena. Now he was back on the throne on his good behavior. But Dinizulu, like most of the other chiefs, sympathized with Bambaata and wished his success. Dinizulu gave him the services of one of his ablest generals. Cakijana Thereafter the two went secretly over the land stirring up the people to throw off their slave chains. At this time three incidents occurred that the two, like most propagandists, turned to good account. The first was the withdrawal of the English soldiers from South Africa: the second was a sight such as no South African, white or black, had ever witnessed before: Fields of corn all over the land looked as if they had been oiled, and glittered like glass in the sun. The third was a hailstorm of unusual severity accompanied by very loud thunder. To the primitive reasoning of the natives Bambaata interpreted these incidents: They were a sign, he said, that Unkulunkulu (God) had at last heard the prayers of his people. "Deliverance was at hand." The news flew from kraal to kraal and the number of its followers increased. But he was faced by one great obstaclee. The older Zulus, fearless where spears and war-clubs were concerned, thought of the machine guns. The white man had but to stay out of range of their spears, press a trigger, and they would fall in heaps, all their bravery and valor counting for naught. No, in that case, one would have to think twice. To add to Bambaata's difficulties the white ants had eaten off the stocks of all but a few of the rifles he had stolen from the whites and had hid in the hills. As to getting others, that was almost impossible as the whites took great care of that. BAMBAATA'S RUSE But Bambaata was resourceful, if anything. He told his people that a famous witch doctor had risen from the dead and had given to Dinizulu a muti (medicine) that would turn the white man's bullets to water. Getting many of his followers together he had a cow sprinkled with this special charm that had been made from the heart and lungs of captured white men. Calling eight of his men he ordered them to shoot the cow. The rifles spoke but the cow ran off unhurt, although but a few yards away. The audience marvelled. A miracle truly! Now another cow was brought and the eight rifles were again fired. This time the cow dropped dead. "See," cried Bambaata, "no muti/ was sprinkled on it." Certainly that seemed convincing. But Bambaata wasn't finished. He called for volunteers to be shot at. None answered. Orcering the witch doctors to sprinkle him with the charm he sprang into the open and ordered the men to reload and shoot at him. Again the eight rifles spat fire at the command of the chief. When the smoke cleared there stood the smiling Bambaata unhurt. Here was a miracle, indeed. But Bambaata was not finished. It was necessary not only to inspire his followers but to make them fear him. In the camp was a captured spy. Sprinkling this man with the muti he ordered him to be shot. Once more the rifles spoke. But the spy stood unhurt though but a few yards away. A groan of consternation from the gathering. So the charm could also protect traitors! But at this the triumphant Bambaata arose, spear in hand. The next instant, his weapon sang through the Aframerican Fables The Parable of the Hard Guy There was once a certain egg who took the keenest delight in acquiring and maintaining a reputation of being a tough nut. He was built like a blockhouse, and had, through constant practice, caused his face to develop an expression that was a cross between a bushman and an enraged ape. His voice had the sound of a horn and he let it loose on the slightest provocation. His greatest joy was to approach a prospective victim in a posture like that of Lon Chaney in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," assume that Attila look, bellow a few sandpanned phrases, and thereby so intimidate the party as to cause him or her to try a little track work—mostly dashes. Or, providing the one approached showed signs of offering some kind of a comeback, the Bad Boy would clutch the objector in his paws and subject same to a Bowery man-handling. Thereafter the efficiently mauled one would give him a complete run-around. Now of thing pin in a ple gave proach to do a welcome cause lived in was ext edge the of the k in his w he even his tail ered be deferen unfertu his face He stro lishing in the was be eyesight Geneshi air and the spy fell, pierced through the heart. Turning to the astonished group, he said: "Go, tell what you have seen with your own eyes. And say too, that while the muti will protect the faithful, it will not save traitors." The explanation? Simple. Blank cartridges! DEFEATS WHITES At last Bambaata was ready to strike. Returning to his tribe he ousted his successor and killed or put to flight the forces of the government. At this several hundred soldiers were sent after him, but ambushing them, he killed many and sent the others running. The news of his victory flew over the land, being magnified with each telling, as in true civilized style. Moreover, not a single native had been hurt. "The muti had worked." A few days later another force of whites arrived and bombarded Bambaata's village at a range of several thousand yards: But again he ambushed the enemy and put it to flight. Marital law was now declared and a force of 2.000 Europeans and 3.000 natives under Gen. McKensie was sent against him. But again Bambaata was successful. By never giving open battle, and by sending his own men among the enemy wearing the distineuishing strips of black and red cloth worn by the native soldiers, he played havoc with his foes. OTHER CHIEFS JOIN After these victories twenty other chiefs joined on, while others awaited the turn of events. But as the conservative chiefs had foreseen Bambaata hadn't a chance. He had less than twenty rifles, and what were spears against the latest pattern of machine guns in the hands of men who had just been through a great war? In every engagement—at Nkandhla, Otimati, Peyana, Insize, McCrae's Store, Mome Gorge — these black men fought like brave heroes of old. Like their brothers at Carrizal, they charged almost unarmed into the teeth of certain death, courageous to the last. Bambaata, himself, was killed at Mome Gorge while making his way unarmed and alone up a river. A native soldier, seeing him, sprang at him from behind a tree and plunged his spear in his back. The soldier tried to draw out the weapon for another blow but it had been bent and he could not, whereupon another black soldier came to his aid. But Bambaata, seizing the latter's spear, attacked them both and though wounded was getting the better part of the struggle when another native ran up and putting his rifle to Bambaata's head, fired. Soon after his death the rebellion collapsed. Of the 12,000 black men who took part, 2,300 were killed and 4,700 made prisoners. Among the number was the aged Sigananda who died a few days later in prison, defiant to the last. The rebellion lasted nine months. (July, 1905, to April, 1906) and cost the government five million dollars. Sixty white men were killed and several hundred wounded, of the 11,000 engaged. They were aided by some 6,000 blacks. Some of the prisoners were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment; twenty-five of the leaders were exiled to St. Helena, while Dinizulu, who was accused of playing a hidden part accompanied them. But as to the valiant Bambaata, his followers refused to believe him dead although the government exhibited his head. His wife did not go into mourning, and this was taken as proof that he was still alive. (You will enjoy every article in this remarkable great man series. Watch for the next one. Write and tell us what you think of them.—The Editor.) Now it wasn't long before this sort of thing made the Big Bully the kingpin in his immediate vicinity. People gave him the go-by, and his approach was the signal for any group to do a rapid fade-out. He was as welcome as a flood, but that didn't cause him any mental distress; he lived in a world unto himself, and was extremely gratified in the knowledge that he was the uncrowned czar of the browbeaters. To see folks cuail in his presence was as strong drink to his vitals. He was so mean that he even delighted in seeing a cur turn his tail down and travel when frightened by his vocal explosions. The deferential mien assumed by those unfurtunate under his sway caused his face to glow with visible pride. He strove hard at the job of establishing himself as the roughest thing in the community, and his success was beyond question. In his own eyesight he was a combination of Genghis Khan: Ivan the Terrible and a buzz-saw—it being his constant boast that he wasn't afraid of the devil, the dark or the Dead Sea. He threw reckless challenges in miscriminately, and no one was killed in a rush to throw gauntlets of acceptance at his feet. He had a Moll who either from fear, hero-worship or some other left-handed reason, clung to him with a tenacity that was surprising; it was inconceivable that anything inside of a shirt could actually love a disposition like that. But that sex is noted for doing things beyond the ken of logic—what? At the height of his unpopular reign, he and his floozy walked into a soft-drink joint one evening to get wrapped around a couple of sodas. As they were making their way to a table a nice-looking young man of average size caught the eye of the Belle and gave her an unmistakable high-sign. The Bad Boy saw the wink, however, and promptly bore down upon the Stranger with a roar like a rhino gone berseck. People fell away from the newcomer as though he had suddenly developed black smallpox. The Bully reached for him—and got the surprise of his life; for the Stranger met his rush with a perfect French "savate." Now for the edification of the reader who has never seen this choice bit of mayhem performed, I will explain it as being a stunt whereby one leaps from the floor and plants both feet in some part of the opponent's anatomy where the contact will cause excruciating and lasting pain. In this instance the Stranger's pedal extremities landed violently against the Bully's digestive organs, and he went down like a torpeded ship. Then he—the Stranger—performed a neat little oneman riot. He tied the Bully's arms into Gordian knots; he used a very creditable toe hold to twist his legs into something resembling a circular staircase; he did more things to his head than Strangler Lewis could have done with his head-lock; and then, having satisfied himself as to the quality of the job, he picked the Bully up bodily and dropped him squarely on his head. The last-mentioned trick produced the coincidental effects of silencing the Bad Bov's howls and knocking him colder than the shady side of the moon. The ambulance carried awav one of the most thoroughly tamed bad men that the world has ever seen. The last heard of him was that upon his release from the hospital he was headed for parts unknown—the more unknown the better. EVERY NAPOLEON HAS HIS WATERLOO. Do You Know When a Lost Article Belongs to the Finder? If one picks up a pocketbook or other article he does not automatically become the owner: he must make a genuine and intelligent effort to find the owner; meanwhile his right as finder precedes that of anyone else except the loser. The statutes usually provide what one shall do. If the finder knows who the owner is, or has a reasonable clew to the ownership, but ignores it, he is guilty of larceny, under the law. If anything is forgotten and left in a bank, a shop, or similar place, it is not lost, and the owner of the place, rather than a chance finder, becomes the proper custodian of the article. EASTER!

The Chocolate Kid turned to the wide-eyed outcast, His eyes lost seme of their menacing quality, but they were still alert. watchful. “Where's Bledsoe?” The question was curt with imperative command, certain knowledge that she had the answer, -Barry Dwane, with the crafty cau- tion that his years with Big Ott had taught him, kept csreful watch: of the ring of trees as the Chocolate Kid| faced the cowering girl.

Outside, pulled up in the shadow of the overhanging branches of the giant trees that formed a dense canopy over the old, grass-grown woods road, the big black car made another biob of darker shadow in the gathering dark- ness. The two men advanced without caution this time. There was no need of care, for the very nature of the wild silence advertised the ab- sence of human tenancy, The shrill treble of 2 treefrog’s harsh, sharp croaking continued un- disturbed as they made their way to the closed door. An owl hooted in the distance. Far away came the shadowy echo of 2 dog’s barking, borne on some vagrant breeze and relayed through the sounding~boards of countless forest growths to the depths of its fastnesses. ‘The Chocolate Kid handed the elder man the small flashlight he carried. The other trained its beam cn the ‘padlock, which the Kid unlocked. ‘Together they stepped into the room. It was just as they had left it earlier in the afternoen. AT ANGIE’S HOUSE Angie was a nest housekeeper; everything was in place, ‘The room was fragrant with the smell of the forest. The wide fireplace at one end was swept and garnished and piled high with cedar boughs, whose fra- grance rose like pungent incense through the other pleasant odors. Once within it took only on instant to locate the green shaded kerosene lamp, its chimney sparklingly clean. Extracting the small box of safety matches from his pocket, John Bell- ing lit the lamp. Its clear gleam, as he slowly swept the room in a half circular sweep of his arm, brought each object successively into clearer view.

John Belling, the light held high, folowed him and set the lamp on the table. With his small penknife the Chocolate Kid cut the string shat bound the bit of burlap, It felt stiff beneath his fin- gers, Carefully he opened it, As he spread it out on tke table before them, both men looked at it. A paz zled frown wrinkied the brow of the Crocolate Kid. On the inside sur- face of the bit of coarse brown cloth ‘was a crude painting of the interior of the room in which they stood, It was as if a child had painted it with the colors from his master’s oil-color tubes, The paint was laid on thickly and with odd variations in technique. But one bit of the whole stood out true to life, It was as if a master painter had painted it in to show the child just what might be done, The fireplace was painted in so ‘true to life in every d>tail that it stood out clearly and unmistakably even to the slight dip of the center stene of the atfon and the little indentation at the side. For 2 long moment the two men stood studying the crude bit of work. Then with a sudden exclamation the Chocolate Kid sprang and crossed td the fireplace. With eager hands that trembled in tense expectancy he began clearing the piace of the piled cedar boughs, . Firmly but with shaking finger, he pressed th: small: depression; then, easily, smoothly, without friction, the large central stone on the apron. of the fireplace rose slowly but steadily until it was a half foot above the rest of the floor, held so on four sturdy upright beams hinged at the half-foot height to fold back, carry- ing the central stone outward and lowering it gently to rest on the im- ner surface of the hearth, John Belling stood watching the phenomenon with eyes filled with amazed incredulity. But the Choco- late Kid sprang to the opening with- out pecan: Beneath it, in a per- fectly fitted compartment, was a leather-covered box. It was about the «size of a small trunk, and a handle on the top indicated that it might be lifted from its snug com- partment, The Chocolate Kid gripped. the handle without hesitation and lifted. ‘The box was too heavy for one hand.

But here is her locket—here, in this cache! And Mary—where is she? The skunk! If he has harmed a hair of her head. If——" The old man's voice broke on a note of menace and a sob. The Chocolate Kid stood, in his turn, dazed and wondering. Then, as the elder man sank down on a chair near the fireplace, holding the locket in his hand, he drew near and waited for a breathing space before he, too, plunged seeking fingers among the pile of papers and trowels. One by one he lifted bundle after bundle of securities from the piled-up documents. Gingerly he opened, at last, the folded paper that had dropped to the floor from old John Belling's listless fingers. His eyes were puzzled as he looked at it. It was a birth certificate. For a moment he looked at the man sitting slumped in the chair, and then gently he called him back to the present. "I wonder how Barry's birth certificate got mixed up with Ott's things?" he said. The other man came back as though he had been wandering in far places. "Barry's birth certificate?" His voice was unhurried, as is the voice of one whose mind is on other things. "Yeah." The Chocolate Kid laid the paper in the listless hand out-stretched to receive it. As the dream-filled eyes fell on the paper a change passed over the brown face. His expression suddenly became alive—jerked back to the present by what he saw there. BARRY'S MOTHER "Son of Annie Dwane Miller!" He shouted the words aloud. His jaw tensed. "He is not Mary's son, then, Not Mary's, but another woman's and Ctt's. Why — why — that was the name of the woman, who died of smallpox at that deserted cabin just on the outskirts of Colby. They told me there had been another woman and child there, but as soon as they were well a man—a big black fellow—had come for them and taken them away in the night. "And"—his voice became reminiscent—"Ott wrote that Mary and my child had left him a month after she went away with him. I tried to trace them, but there was no trace. I followed even the weak clue of the man and woman and two children that settled in that tenement in Austin. But the woman had died under mysterious and suspicious circumstances, and the man had taken the two children and disappeared. "The neighbors thought they had gone to Chicago, but no one knew. I got the letter then about Mary going to South America, and —" Something seemed to click in the old man's mind. To click and let light into the dark shadows that had been gathering there for years. He turned to the Chocolate Kid, who was again searching through the contents of the box. "The d——d skunk!" He gritted the words so savagely that the other had ceased his searching and looked up again to give closer attention to what he had considered the wander- Amount of Insurance You Get For $1.00 Per Mo.

There was nothing dazed in those clear tones. The Kid attended him closely, "I didn't tell you; I've never told anyone, and Ott himself doesn't know. Drink and sorrow and remorse have changed me so that even he didn't know me. But I am John Belling Carruth!" At the look of amazed incredulity on the face of the Chocolate Kid the man nodded and drew himself up. "Yes," he said: "the great John Belling Carruth, whose wife left him, and who in turn left his beautiful home and the wealth of his great oil fields so suddenly and 'faded out of the world of men. I did not tell you and Zola all when I revealed that I was her father. I wanted to find out what had become of her mother, but she is strangely silent on that. The finding of this locket makes me wonder if she knew the truth and for some strange hidden reason let me go on thinking the story I believed was true was the real truth when I told her of it. There is still some mystery that I cannot fathom, but I have the rest. Big Ott was a clerk in my bank when he left suddenly, and my wife and child went with him. I could never find him till I was in that cell with him but I heard from him, twice. The first letter was to tell me that my wife had left him for another man. THE TRUTH DISCOVERED "That sent me hunting the world for them, but before I went I got the second letter that told me Mary had left for South America with her second paramour—and I believed it. I did not dream that the girl—mine and Mary's—might grow up to young womanhood here under Big Ott's malevolent tutelage. When I saw the boy I believed—I thought he was a second child of Mary's. I knew the girl was hers. Her beauty is Mary's and I believed maybe her evil ways were Mary's. too. But now—I am glad that I know this." He paused. "We'll know everything in the morning, when Zola and Barry come out with the crowd Anson Bledsoe is going to guide here—thanks to Angle's help and her genuine honesty. There's a lot for us to clear up tomorrow." With the words the Chocolate Kid looked into the stern eyes of the man from whom the years of ineffective old age seemed to be dropping like a useless, discarded earment. (Whew! What thrilling revelation! The last installment will tell whether Big Ott gets what's due him. Don't miss it!) Marriage Postponed I went with my sweetie to dinner Thinking perhaps a good feed would win her win her It did. She consented. But my bankroll was dented, The price of the wedding was in her.

DEAR SIR: I had a dream the other day that has worried me very much. First I want to say that my mother is dead, and it was so peculiar the way I thought it came about. A lady friend of mine gave me a pumpkin pie and the afternoon which she gave it to me I lay across the bed before eating any of it. Naturally I went to sleep, and I thought in some way I was connected with a passenger engine, but was not the operator. And a message came in that a passenger train which was ahead of the engine which I was on had wrecked and several were killed. It seemed as though we were standing in a siding when the message came, and another engine pulled up to the left of the engine which I was on. And it seemed as though I asked this crew where they were going, and they answered saying that they were going up to bring this passenger train back, as they had had a wreck and several were killed. I thought then I asked them to notice all of the block signals. by Julia Jerome Our letter comes from Ettrick, Va., this week. "My Dear Mrs. Jerome: I am in school here, but I am dissatisfied because I feel I am wasting my time. Since entering school last fall I have become engaged and am to be married this summer. Under the circumstances I feel that I am wasting my parents' money and my time to continue in school. What do you think?"—Young Woman. I don't agree with you, my dear, I think it is a great mistake for people to think that marriage calls for no preparation or education. I believe when this country becomes really civilized we will have special courses in the technique of marriage in our colleges. The native Africans send their children to the "Bush" to be prepared for marriage. That is, the girls retire into a place of solitude with the most competent of the elder women of the tribe, to be instructed in the art of love and homemaking. The boys retire with men instructors to learn the man's side of life and love. But in America we enter unprepared into this most important part of existence. You have merely expressed the general idea prvalent among the people when you say you think because you intend to marry soon you should quit going to school. EDUCATION HELPS MARRIAGE In my opinion people should never quit going to school. In New York thousands of elderly married people THE MUSICIAN Tanned Skin White Almost "The dealer told me there would be a big difference in my complexion almost the very next morning," said a letter from a New York woman, "but I didn't believe it. Yet, when I tried Golden Peacock Bleach Creme I found that he did not exaggerate. There was improvement immediately and a glorious change in 3 days. Before the end of the week the blotches were gone; my skin was pearly white, soft and clear. I wouldn't be without this wonderful creme." More than a million women have had similar experiences. Go to your drug or department store and get a jar of Golden Peacock Bleach Creme. Money back if it doesn't please you.

A good tonic that keeps you feeling well A signals, the passenger train which was supposed to have been wrecked came backing down the track from the place where it was supposed to have wrecked, a perfect train, made up as though nothing had happened to it. Then I went back to a place where there was to be an old friend of mine, and while there some one said that they had to go up to the wreck as this old friend had gotten killed in it. So, whoever it was that went up after her, brought her back on what looked like three pieces of pie. Yet I never see the body, for I tried to avoid seeing it. Please interpret this dream for me. ANSWER H. I. Tomlin, Portsmouth, Ohio. Dear Friend: Dreaming of your mother in connection with a railroad wreck would signify that your dream was a warning. The particular warning is referring to your habit of laxity in matters of responsibility. All through the dream you were leaving it to others with the result that while you waited, others repaired. Changes are brought about that leave their mark as is depicted by the black spot. Summed up—take this warning. Get into action and master circumstances before things break up and you lose your happiness. Sincerely yours. ALI YOUSSIF MOHAMMED.

It keeps their minds alert and gives them something substantial to discuss with each other. Don't quit school, my dear.

And the more you know and understand, the better you will be able to steer your marital ship.

A BABY FOR YOU Are you denied the blessing of motherhood—the glory of a baby all your own? Do you and your husband learn for a baby's arms and a baby's smile? Nature does not intend that any woman should be childless. When she is, it is usually due to some weakness or disorder of the organs of reproduction. When these organs are properly toned up, invigorated and helped to function properly, the blessings of motherhood may be realized. Many women are now praising a remarkable new treatment called Gen-Tone and expressing their gratitude for what it has done for them. Intended as an aid in revitalizing the organs of reproduction, many report also that it helped to relieve many of the alliments common to women, such as bearing-down and periodical pains, etc., and aids them to lead happier and more companionable lives. To test this new treatment, simply send name to Hamilton Products Co., $20 American Bank Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., and when your treatment arrives pay postman $2.00, plus few cents postage. This reliable company agrees to refund the $2.00 if you are not satisfied. You should not hesitate in accepting their generous offer—Adx.

Why don't you play and let me sing?” said little Jean, aged four. _, The two girls were in Aunt Mary's living-room where Virgina, a senior in high school, was entertaining the Jittle daughter of a neighbor, Aunt Mary, working in the dining room had heard the remark and wondered how Virginia would reply. “How do. you know you can sing so well, Jeanne?” she heard the old- er girl laughingly ask. “Oh—oh-h-h, just because every- body says I can. Mother does, too. She loves to hear me sing and she just has me sing all the time when we have company.” Little Jeannie smoothed down her dress in supreme self-complacency. “Of course cur mothers love io have us do all the things we like to do if they are not wrong.” answer ed Virginia. “But before we can sing really well’ we have to do a tot of hard studying and practicing, you know.” ‘The little girl was silent for a mo- ment or two as though somewhat crestfailen but was soon telling other wonderful things that either she or Betty Jane, a younger sister, could 0. Commenting on the remarks to her aunt, Virginia explained what she thought of the matter: “I was just like that at her age, Aunt Mary, and that. is the reason I have such a hard: time with my music now. TI grew up with the idea that I could sing beautfully, so when it came to the real work — practice and drill to learn to sing. to handle my voice as I have to in school — it was doub- ly hard for me because I resented being corrected or made to sing 2 faulty passage over and over. I try now to control myself enough to act decently when Miss Wilson tells me. I am wrong but just the same that rebellious feeling will bubble up with- in me. “{ think it just a shame for fer sons to compliment a child like Jean so extravagantly as they must be do- ing. She is such a sweet. little thing and really haga nice voice, but she will be hurt a good many times in the future because of getting too ‘much praise now. It is just as bad as if they made her seli-conscious any other way. Just think, Aunt Mary, what a time you have had trying to get all that nonsense out ce my head..

The extra chin adds many years and puts a woman to a great disadvantage when youth is counted as an asset, therefore, it should be gotten rid of quickly. This may be done by using reducing lotions. Pat the lotion into the chin and then tie the chin up with strips of thin cheese cloth that has been satu- rated with the lotion. These strips should be about four inches wide. Tie the first one immediately under the chin and the second one a little further back to catch the chin near tne neck. Leave this on until absorbed and then tie the chin up with cheese cloth strips saturated with a good astringent. This last will keep the chin from wrinkling after the reduc- ing. Repeat this treatment daily un- til happy. : both of us. I sure am glad you have been kind and stromg enough to do it for me but it does seem too bad for people to make that sort of thing necessary.” “You are right.” replied her aunt. “It seems to be a temptation on the ipart of friends and relatives to rave {too much over children. Of course, it is a grave mistake.” As Aunt Mary put her work away she thought: “Jean's mother should know better, she is a college gradu- ate. Surely she was caught to let children grow naturally — teaching them to sing if they have any talent just as incidentally as to cat; properly and with as little self-consciousness. and encouraging them in so far as ‘they really need it and no further.” Shee ee LEESEBURG, VIRGINIA LEESEBURG, Va.—Miss Ella sc; Cole- man. beautiful co-ed of Storer College, was the Easter guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, of Leesburg.
