WILSON TO HIT BACK AT HIS OPPONENTS Will Run Again, He Says on Platform of Economy and Efficiency WASHINGTON, D.C. — Striking back at his accusers, J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks, declared Monday that upon his return here from a southern trip in the next two weeks he will make public court records which will discredit those who seek to discredit his administration of Elk affairs. At the same time he let it be known that he would stand for reelection at the thirtieth annual grand lodge session to be held in Atlantic City, N.J., in August. "Economy and efficiency," he said "will be my slogan at /'lantic City, and if I cannot produce a better record this year than the year before I shall not ask the suffrage of the convention." Armond W. Scott. Past Grand Exalted Ruler, was endorsed by Morning Star Lodge. Washington, D.C., for Commissioner of Education, an office now filled by William C. Hueston, of Gary, Indiana. A break between Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson and Grand Treasurer James C. Martin is reported.

HOLSTEIN NAMED New Yorker Said to be the "Client" of Sleuth. GARY, Ind.—Casper Holstein, "millionaire and sportsman," of New York, is named by W. C. Hucston, chairman of Elks' commission on education, as the "client" who employed Sheridan Brusseaux, detective, to probe Elk affairs. This information was made public this week by Commissioner Hueston in a letter to the detective accepting the latter's proposition, to have the Elks' accounts audited by a certified accountant Commissioner Hueston declared that Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson is willing for an audit provided such audit is made of the books for all of the Elk offices for the past seven years during which Mr. Wilson has headed the order. The only books now in Chicago, said the commissioner, are those of the Grand Treasurer, whose records date only from October 1, 1928. Other records are in the hands of Dr. Thomas Love, in Raleigh, N.C., James E. Kelly, at Birmingham, Ala., the commissioner declared. Before beginning the probe, the detective and his client, the commissioner says, must put up $3,500 in escrow with the Binga State Bank in Chicago for expenses of the auditor, assembling books and necessary papers, traveling expenses of accountants and of any other necessary person to furnish information desired by the accountant, said necessities to be left entirely to the accountants. Judge Hueston charges a conspiracy entered into at a secret meeting held by the detective, Mr. Holstein, a New York past exalted ruler and a New York lawyer in Newark N.J. In that meeting, said the commissioner, Detective Bruseaux was hit and paid a fee to threaten a law suit; suits fc: accounting, injunctions and anything to create and make propaganda upon which to base a fight to defeat the grand exalted ruler, Finley Wilson, at the next meeting. The entire agitation for an audit of the Elks' accounts, the commissioner said, is merely for the purpose of getting publicity for Mr. Holstein, who is a candidate for the post of grand exalted ruler.

MILLER (Ex-Congressman and Graduate Class, 72) CHARLESTON, S. C.—It is with extreme regret, sorrow and disappointment that I have read that the senior class of Lincoln University, Chester County, Pennsylvania, has voted that they do not want Negro professors on the faculty of Lincoln University. While I am grieved that they should take such an action, I am not surprised, because for forty years, the graduates of Lincoln, some making the fight on the outside, while the more conservative among them, on the inside, have been trying to influence and induce the trustees and faculty of the institution to employ Negro professors on the faculty. Also, having done our utmost to secure Negroes on the board of trustees, and after an open fight a few years ago, we did succeed in securing the election of Dr. E. P. Roberts as a member on the board of trustees. No Charge Against Faculty. I shall not charge the faculty with having personally or actively induced or suggested to the senior class that they should vote as their opinion that Negroes should not be on the faculty, giving as their reason (as I read in the newspapers) that Negro professors are incompetent to instruct, and that they would be partial in their grading, and would not grade students honestly and fairly by reason of their being Negro professors, according to their true worth and standing in their classes. I do not accuse the faculty of having cajoled or requested the senior students to take this action, but, my dear sir, there is an old saying that "if mother tief and father tief, child can't be honest." and as it has been and still is the determination of the faculty and trustees of Lincoln to keep competent and worthy Negro professors off the faculty, the students under them must naturally imbibe their feelings, their sentiments and their conclusions as to Negro professors being incompetent and unfit to become full professors in the aforesaid institution. Employ Autowired Students The practice of employing one or two advanced students as instructors in this institution is old, but they are retained with a "well, you young chaps can be tutors while you are students here, but we will see to it that not one of you shall ever return with a full professorship in this institution." Late President Rendell That decision and determination is as ld as the administration of Dr. I. N. Rendell, for he told me more than once that Lincoln University was for white professors only, and he has told that to other graduates of Lincoln University. Jim Crow. The idea of Lincoln, at this advanced period of educational thought in this nation, having concluded and proven their conclusions, by their actions to exclude Negroes from the faculty and trustee board, has caused Lincoln to suffer for the want of money, because true philanthropists will not give their money to a jim-crow institution. Until the trustees have proven to the American philanthropist that they are broad enough to acknowledge the fitness of Negro professors and shall have elected two or more to the said faculty. Lincoln will continue to merely exist for the want of money. It pains me to have written the above, but it is the truth and I want all educated Negroes to know the truth. THOMAS E. MILLER. Class of 1872. ANTI-MARRIAGE BILL MADISON. Wis. — A bill prohibiting intermarriage between Negroes and whites was introduced in the senate of the state of Wisconsin on Friday last.

NC. (Gpecial) — Maryland .and West Virginia show signs of an educational awakening. Dr, W. A. Robinson, principal of the Knoxville, Tennessee, high school, told the Fact-Finding Conference here last week. In Maryland, Mr, Robinson: de- clared, the legislature made an ef- fort to equalize rural teachers’ salar- ies and debated the repeal of the jum. crow car bill. Constitutions of southern states, adopted in reconstruction conventions under geniemens agreements, pra- viding that public schools be separate but equal, are universally ignored ex- cept in West Virginia which :1ad_ ne such provision in its constitution. Mr, Robinson said. He cited as an example, Montgom- ery County, Alabama, which boasts of’ the best rural school system in the south and expends $85 a year on 3 white child and $3-a year on c° 11 colored child. . Other statistics were yuoted t show that although educational ap- propriations have increased in the southern states in the past decade the proportion of funds set aside for white and colored: schools remains the same. Compulsory Education Compulsory education laws have forced white children into the schools but have failed to affect a cingle colored child, lie declared, Twelv hunderd warants have been serve upon. white parents who have kep {ti eir children out of school. No war. rant has been served on a colozec parent, % Principals Colored principals, he declared, ar: played one against -1e other by tla white beards cf education in orde to prevent organized progress. Pro fessionalism in many sections of th south is unknown. _The average State Teachers’ Asso ciation. he declared. -is rendered he-p les by internal disserision or throug! fear and is doing little to aid edu cational progress.

When Negroes were first elected to Congress, when the Stevenses, the Conklins, the Sumners and the Chandlers were in power, they were received by the Republicans in Congress as men worthy to be with them in the legislative halls of the nation.

Pritchard of North Carolina, and Mudd of Maryland, joined McKinley, when we were members of the Fifty-first Congress, in this request to me. So anxious were the white Congressmen to be rid of us that Professor Longston and the writer both being contestants for our seats, received very little encouragement in our contest. William E. Mason and Joe Cannon of Illinois, Mr. Murray, chairman of committee on privileges and elections, and Cabot Lodge of Mass., were among the very few to whom we could talk about our contests and on account of Mr. Langston having been a resident of Washington and a professor in Howard University, the Republicans in Congress caucused after the committee had reported that Professor Langston and I were entitled to the seats, and agreed at the request of the Democratic caucus, that they would seat only one of us—Langston. Speaker Reed made this fact known to me. When the case of Langston was called, the Democratic Congressmen rushed out of the hall to break the quorum. Nevertheless the Speaker counted them as they were going out of the door as being PRESENT.

Miller from South Orkney He then announced that it has been moved and seconded that a report be received and adopted, and in the next minute he declared the Congress had voted affirmatively and that Thomas E. Miller has been declared a member of Congress from South Carolina. Up to that time and, indeed up to the 52nd Congress, member of Congress had no office or secretaries while the chairman of committees had offices and secretaries. The pay of a Congressman was on $5,000 per year. Had it not have been for the personal friendship of Speaker Reed the caucuas resolution to seat Mr Langston only would have robbed me of my rights as a duly elected member of Congress from South Carolina.

WASHINGTON, D.C, — Mak- ing 2 political gesture, the Ken- tucky delegation in Congress call- ed at the White House last Thursday and urged President Hoover to appoint Dr, T. T. Wen- Gell, of Lexingion, Ky. as min- ister to Liberia. There is no vacancy in the Li- berian post at present. William | T. Francis, of St. Paul, Minn, is the minister resident and consul genera! at Monrovia. In keeping with cus- tom he advised President Hoover thas his resignation is available, if he should cesire ‘t. but the Presi¢cont Jet it be known that he is not con- sidering any sweeping changes in the diplomatic service. From reliable sources, it was learn- ed that. Mr, Francis would continue in the foreign service for two years. He will return to the United States in the latter part of July or the first of August on leave of sixty days from his post. Mr. Francis was appointed by President Coolidge in 1927. Practicing Physician Senator Frederic MM. Sackett, Re- publican, of Kentucky, described Dr. Wendl] as a rian of about 45 years, fine looking, a graduate of both a lit- erary college and a medical school, and a practicing physician standing high in his community, For Reecorder Too Other Kentuckians are likely to be proposed for Federal posts. ‘There ig a probability that W.

Mr. Merchant was an alternate del- egate from the state at large to the Jast Republican national conve.ticn.

PASTOR'S WIFE SUES FOR DIVORCE Marital Tangle. CRUELTY ALLEGED . and Beat Her. WASHINGTON, D. C.—(Capital News Service)—Mrs. Eubelle E. Butler, of 1209 S street northwest, has filed a bill in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, petitioning for absolute divorce from her husband, Jeremiah M. Butler, assistant pastor of the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church of this city. Corespondent In the bill which was filed. April 16, through Stanley D. Willis, Mrs. Butler names Mrs. Mary E. Bowman, prominent clubwoman, of 20 N street northwest, as corespondent, and alleges that on occasions the couple have been unduly friendly for several years. According to the wife, the pastor, who is also employed in the Interior Department, has not eaten his meals at home for four years. In order to determine where the good man dined, she hired a detective who shadowed the assistant pastor and found that he made a "bee-line" for the home of the corespondent immediately after work, where he remained the entire evening, often until the early hours of the morning Paid for Groceries The detective also reported that Butler on one occasion escorted Mrs. Bowman to the neighborhood grocery where he proffered a $20 bill in payment for household supplies selected by her. On several other occasions he has been seen leaving the Bowman house, and returning loaded down with bags containing food-stuffs which he had purchased at the store. She alleges that he borrowed $2500 to pay on their home, which she wants repaid to her. In her bill she alleges that on February 18, 1929, the said Jeremiah Butler, beat her and threatened to kill her after she had refused to give him more money. The couple were married in this city in 1898 and have lived together continuously since that time. although there has been no married relations between them for some nine years. They have one daughter, who is married and living in CONSTABLE MEASURE MAY COME MONDAY CONSTABLE MEASURE MAY COME MONDAY Several Race Men Slated for Berths if Proposed Alignment Holds. EMERSON OPTIMISTIC Result of Dog Shelter Vote Not Significant. The question of race constables is not one of "to be or not to be" but of "who," if the optimistic attitude of local Republican party leaders are to be believed. Both Councilman Walter S. Emerson and Warner T. Mcinn are going ahead on the assurance that some kind of alignment will result in recognition of the group in the People's Court. S1700 Salaries While the constable jobs are not highly lucrative plums, they are valuable political assets, and the present councilmen from the Fourth District see more in setting a precedent in having colored men appointed that in the value of the jobs. They point out that if the Republicans start the ball to rolling, the Democrats will have to keep it going. Some speculation arose following the council session Monday when a Republican measure prohibiting a dog shelter or kennel within 1500 feet of churches, hospitals, schools, parks, playgrounds or swimming pools, and sponsored by Councilman Walter S. Emerson, was called from the committee and killed on the floor of the council by Democrats with the help of James O'Meara, white. While leading Democrats prophesied that the end of the O'Meara-Republican alignment had come, Republican leaders are certain that O'Meara will stick and that the constable proposition will go over. In explaining his dog shelter measure, Councilman Emerson declared that it was introduced at the request of his constituents in the Fourth district. Where Is Ellison? Daniel Ellison, white, floor leader of the Republican side of the council, was absent Monday. Some onlookers in the Fourth district are inclined to have misgivings as to where the floor leader will stand in the alignment expected to put over the constable fight. It would be possible for one member to upset any slate proposed. this city. Mrs. Mary E. Bowman is also a member of Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, and is prominent in local fraternal circles, being an active member of the Eastern Star and the Household of Ruth. COL. DUNCAN PREFERS DEATH TO DISGRACE SPRINGFIELD, IL. — Preferring to die, it is believed rather than bring disgrace upon a name which he had made illustrious upon the battle fields of France, Celonel Otis B. Duncan, commanding officer of the Eighth Illinois National Guard, shot himself over the heart here Wednesday night. The colonel is in a Springfield hospital where doctors say they have little hope for his recovery. The suicide attempt came on the eve of his impending arrest following temporary suspension when government officers discovered irregularities in the handling of army supplies. Although it was not believed that Colonel Duncan perpetrated the thefts he was accused of having knowledge that Captain Clarence J. Riggs had been selling supplies to private individuals and pocketing the money. Another Complication Another complication which is believed to have caused the commander to commit the rash act was that when he was suddenly relieved of his command he was not prepared to account for certain regimental funds in his custody. It was learned that friends had sought to supply him with these funds. Was Brave Soldier During the ar. Colonel Duncan was awarded the Croix de Guerre with a divisional citation for bravery and was the highest colored commissioned officer at the time of his discharge.

Srhroeder May Resume Maiden Name Mrs. Buenia M. Schroeder, of Sparrows Point, was granted an absolute divorce this week from Rance D. Schroeder, thirty-two days after she had appeared as witness in her own behalf. The decree was signed by Judge Duke Bond, before whom the case originated in the Circuit court. Upon request of J. Howard Payne, attorney for Mrs. Schroeder, she was also granted the right to use her maiden name, Buenia M. Hamm. Mrs. M. E. Jordan Gets $9 Weekly Alimony Mrs. Martha E. Jordan, of 2115 McCulloh, street, well-dressed and so child-like, was the cynosure of all eyes as she appeared in the Circuit court No. 2, this week, asking for alimony. While attending Dunbar high school, Washington, D.C., Mrs. Jordan was known as Miss Elizabeth Hall and met Alfred Jordan football player and captain of the Armstrong Manual Cadets. The bill for divorce filed by Mrs. Jordan states that they were married in October, 1926, and that Alfred treated her with great cruelty, harshness and brutality and that little less than four months ago, his conduct became so intolerable that she was obliged to leave him. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan, both appeared in court with their respective lawyers. Judge Frank granted the plea of J. Howard Payne, attorney for Mrs. Jordan, and signed an order giving her $9 weekly.

Baldwin Brings Help from College Friends. Declaring that the Rockefeller Foundation has been forced again to extend the time of its challenge fund, Dr. Charles W. Baldwin, Morgan College trustee, made a stirring appeal to M.E. ministers Wednesday for help to raise the remainder of the dormitory building fund by June. Dr. Baldwin declared that the remaining $35,000 that must be raised before the school can get the $50,000 Rockefeller donation, is yet far from being raised. Yale Alumni Gives $5,000 In answer to letters sent them individually, explaining the situation of the building fund, Dr. Baldwin said that Yale Alumni has sent $5,000. $12,000 Pledge Several white business men of the city, Dr. Baldwin said, have pledged to pay the last $4,000 of the fund, while another group of white persons has recently pledged $8,000. Dr. Baldwin, who is now in his 89th year of age, is making personal calls on men of this group to help the building fund committee in its eleventh hour effort.

This young man is credited with having placed more big loans for chur )es, homes and corporations of the District of Columbia, than any other young man in the city, due largely to his keen business judgment and his enviable credit ratings, with the financial institutions of Washington. Mr. Evans believes the Capital City offers a great opportunity for Negro business concerns to invest in the securities of properties owned by colored people. Such investment will create a better market for the investor, and enable the investee to secure mortgages to a better advantage, making it unnecessary for members of the race to accept propositions which inevitably prove a burden. Mr. Evans is sold on the idea that Washington is in need of a wide awake business forum to promote and stimulate the interest of the race in Negro business and achievements. said, "one gave me $100 and another gave $50. But what we have is a long way from $35,000. "With 35,000 men in the Washington Conference and 35,000 in the Delaware Conference, they could all take one breath and say, 'here is the money.'" No action was taken by the ministers in the meeting in regard to the fund. The question was raised in the recent Washington Annual Conference here that most of the unpaid pledges in the hands of the fund committee, proportionately, were those of ministers and school teachers. MISS Estelle Elizabeth Pate, 1912 Western Ave. Knoxville, Tenn., writes: "Last year, while in college, I was studying unusually hard. I found that I was getting thin, and that my health was not very good. I felt tired and worn-out. Instead of my studies being a pleasure, they were a task. It was so trying not to be able to enjoy anything. "As I knew Cardui was a good tonic, I decided to take it. After taking Cardui, I felt so much better and stronger.

One of the most dangerous things which can happen to the members of a racial group is to lose the advantage of struggle before they are fully grown. Unfortunately there are many evidences that this is happening to the race group in America. We are at the crossroads of a dangerous crisis--that crisis which comes from a short-sighted leadership which may accept compromises in lieu of unabridged human equality. Were the Negroes in America trodden beneath the heels of tryants as were the Russian peasants, were we exploited as are the peons of Mexico, the low castes of India, or the natives of South Africa, there would be hope that we would produce a Lenin, a Gil, or a Gandhi, willing to go down into the depths of sacrifice to free a people. But half-free, half-emancipated, eating the scraps and minicking the institutions of a decadent civilization, there is just enough opulence and comfort to make us forget how far we are behind the march of civilization and to deprive us of the kind of leadership that any group must have to carve its name deeply in the annals of world history. This is not to say that we do not need the few really practical leaders that we have; but it is to say that we need more. We need captains of industry; we need leaders to blaze the way in science, in art, and civic progress; but most of all we need a leader who will keep us geared up to the star of revolution, of racial change and drastic action. Without such a leader we will lose our soul and flicker out along with the torch of white civilization. It is unfortunately significant that none of our native recognized leaders today, are in exile; none of them in the martyr's cell; none of them suffering any disadvantage because of standing firm for our racial cause. In the past, we let white abolitionists fight for our freedom; and even now we are letting white labor leaders face the mob in the South in a cause in which they openly stand out for racial equality in industry while we temporize with exploiters. This is a dangerous situation in which to develop an infant The New St. And Books Are Not BROWN'S GR Also From Tow This is the only steamer and the and by Colored People.

It has well nigh destroyed the very soul of our religion, and unless we produce a more radical leadership, it will destroy the very soul of our struggle for a racial destiny. We will become more and more satisfied with an economic system which keeps half of us slaves by denying us jobs and promotions solely because of race; which keeps us from participating in governmental affairs except as beggars, and which is adroitly subsidizing much of what leadership we have that our exploitation may continue. Haiti had her Toussaint L'Ouverture; he died in a dungeon; but until Borno sold Haiti to America for a mess of easy-living potage, L'Ouverture's people had real freedom. Russia had her Lenin and now has her Trotsky in exile, but the Russians are free and, lest we forget, the Negro in America still has reason enough to spill blood and suffer martyrdom. Let us hope that there will arise a surging,-restless, daring leader who will not equivocate; but who, with his blood, if necessary, will write his name on the hearts of our millions of black folk. Shall We Lessen Our Birth Rate? A recent suggestion by a nationally known university professor, that the Negroes should reduce their birth rate in economic proportion to the whites, caused not one ripple in the race press. A proposition to kill a thousand babies before they are born would of course not arouse the same interest that the lynching of one man would, but the results might be far more disastrous. The writer believes in birth control, but not birth control to fit into a capitalistic economic system which bars colored men and women from equitable participation in the nation's production. In Baltimore, for instance, where a recent U.S. Department of Commerce survey shows that with 18 per cent of the population, the spending income of the colored group being but 12 per cent, the professor's suggestion, if adopted, would mean a reduction of births to suit the ability of the group to provide for children on the same scale as whites. There are, however, discriminatory laws in Baltimore and in other cities, just as unnatural; Steamer "AVALON Now Open For Dates ROVE and all Point Downs On The Bay To The only park in the State of Maryland Time on Saturday and Sunday evenings Authority to secure dates when application Brown will wait on any committee who Apply at Once to W.

And it must be admitted that there are fundamental laws of biology which limit births to ability to provide, but in civilized communities this problem should be met not by cutting down the normal birth rate, but by increasing the ability to provide. The relation between births and deaths and the resultant coefficient of relative population increase is the front line trench of racial existence. In this land of growing democracy, population counts. It counts in industrial production; and as a basis for professional and civic development; and as long as there is racial division, colored mothers will be called upon not only to keep production up to normal, but to bring a few more babies into the world to compensate for the unfair disadvantages, caused by economic discrimination, which act to produce higher mortality rates.

SAYS By KELLY MILLER A single Negro Congressman amidst four hundred and thirty-four of his colleagues, will have mainly picturesque and spectacular value rather than be of concrete and practical advantage to his race. Hats off to Chicago. The city by the lake leads all the rest in political prowess and prominence. Chicago has a smaller Negro population than New York. Philadelphia and Washington, and only one thousand ahead of Baltimore. And yet she leads by several decades these rival claimants in both local and national political prestige and power. Let it be hoped that the other cities will shortly learn the secret and method of self-representation. Center of Gravity The center of political gravity, so far as the Negro is concerned, has shifted from the North to the South. Mr. Hoover's Southern policy drives the last nail in the coffin of the Negro's political aspiration and clinches it on the other side. Nothing short of a miracle will restore bygone prestige and power to the Negroes of the South within the life time of the youngest of the present generation. I do not wish, in this utterance, to criticise Mr. Hoover's policy, but merely to describe it. The good President will doubtless declare, in all sincerity, that he had no earthly intention to belittle the Neegro and extol the lily-whites in Southern politics. He was merely untangling an ugly situation in the simple, straightforw. I way of the engineer. For the sake of argument, or rather for the sake of avoiding argument, let this be conceded. The effect of the pronouncement remains the same regardless of the intention of the pronouncer. The victim is just as dead if slain by a mindless maniac as if killed by a malicious murderer. By Mr. Hoover's policy the Negro is dehored and the lily-whites exalted. In this conclusion the President's sincerest friends and severest critic will agree. Tarry at Jericho Nothing will upset this program unless the President within the next two years finds himself at loggerheads with the dominant influence in his party, making it possible for some mark Hanna o Frank Hithcock to defeat his renomination thru manipulation of Southern delegates by methods in which this brand of politicians is adept. Barring this unexpected contingency, the Southern Negro will be compelled to stand out in the political cold for many a long and dreary day. Or as Senator Blaine used to say, the Negro will have to tarry at Jericho until his beard grows. But after all, Mr. Hoover's policy may be the best in the long run. Only those who live through the long run will be able to see. Only three courses were open to Mr. Hoover—to let things rip as they were wont to do—to insist upon the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments—or to set up some such expediency as he has adopted. The first is wholly ineffectual, as thirty years of trial has abundantly shown, the second requires greater courage than could be expected, even of Mr. Hoover, the third leaves us quizzical of the wisdom of the President's policy and purpose. But curiously enough, just at this critical juncture a Negro Congressman comes down from the North, so that the race may not be wholly without political hope. Gives Voice A single Negro congressman amidst four hundred and thirty-four of his colleagues will have picturesque and spectacular value rather than be of concrete and practical advantage to his race. The mere fact of his presence gives the Negro some semblance of representation and voice among those who make the laws by which he is governed. A few women in Congress can have little or no direct effect upon legislation, even where the female sex is chiefly concerned. But by reason of their presence, the claims of the sex will be given more respectful and adeguate consideration. It is an everlasting and unchangeable truism that no one is good enough to govern another without his consent and participation in the governme t. The man is not good eneouh to govern the woman, nor the white the black. Those who are not represented on the inside of the circle are outside of the game. I doubt if even the Southern fire cater will be so bold as to denounce the Negro on the floor of Congress in the presence of a member of the group denounced. It requires only the lowest order of courage to denounce the Negro where there is none to make reply. We may hope within a decade to have at least five or six Negro members of Congress. While this insignificant minority can have little or no hope of effecting affirmative legislation for the race, yet by sensible understanding and mutual interchange of advantage, substantial helpfulness may be secured for the group they represent. Northern Representative However, a word of caution is in order. Negro representatives from the North can have little weight in the councils of the party. Mr. DePriest is but one out of twenty-four representatives from the state of Illinois. He must follow the lead of his delegation in the line-up along the, line of political policies. Furthermore, the states are manipulated by bosses whose dictates the individual must heed in party council. The Northern Negro can hardly hope to affect national policies as the Southern leaders had the chance to do. Lincoln Johnson, in 1912, had it in his power to determine the nomination of the Republican party. He held the Georgia delegation, which turned out to be the decisive factor, in the hollow of his hand. No Northern Negro can ever hope to exercise such determinative power Chief Function The chief function of the lone Negro Congressman from Illinois, from the racial point of view is that the nation will become accustomed to seeing Negroes in high governmental station. There is a studied policy on the part of the Republican statesmanship since the days of Roosevelt to keep the Negro out of high public station so that the public mind will become adjusted to his absence as the normal order of things. The public press has given more space to Mr. DePriest than to any other ten members-elect, merely because of the unusualness of the Negro's presence in the legislative body. In the days of reconstruction and immediately thereafter such presence excited not the least comment or perturbation. When Mr. DePriest is reenforced by representatives from New York, Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland, as will shortly happen, the Negro Congressman will be looked upon as a regular and normal part of the law making body. Out of sight, out of mind, is a good maxim in politics as in other affairs. If the Negro is not in evidence his cause is forgotten. But wherever his presence is registered his cause will follow, as surely as the little lamb followed Mary. Our hats are off to you. Miss Chicago and to Congressman DePriest, whom you have sent to represent the race. $60,000 for Downingtown HARRISBURG.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (May 24, 1904) Chicago is an easy-going place and one can do pretty much as one pleases, so long as one does not infringe upon one's neighbor. It is no unusual thing to see stores open on Sunday. The saloons are also open. It may be well said of Chicago, that the lid is off and there is no very great effort to put it on. You can go to the theatre or to the church, whichever serves your fancy, on Sunday. You can go to a baseball game, go fishing, go golfing, pool-playing, in fact, almost any old thing you want to do. There is but little of what one might really call. disorderly conduct on the streets. Everything is as quiet as a great city usually gets. There are a number of churches, and they are well attended. Lincoln University Lincoln University's questionnaire to upper-classmen is published for the first time in the AFRO this week. It shows among other things that Lincoln seniors and juniors, for a number of reasons, many of them utterly shallow and inexact, voted against having colored as well as white professors on the faculty. The results of this survey are alarming. They indicate a type of instruction at this college calculated to rob plastic youth of racial self-respect and dignity. Seventy-five years old, it hasn't produced a single graduate that its student body is willing to see elected to the faculty. Whatever has been the glory of Lincoln's past, its present represents failure. No other conclusion is possible. Muzzled? Mr. Anthony Overton of Chicago, may know his oats in banking and insurance, but his assertions that nine-tenths of the Negro press is muzzled and controlled by the white race, shows that he still has something to learn about newspapers. If Mr. Overton would turn aside from his adding machine long enough to read papers like the Philadelphia Tribune, the Kansas City Call, the Pittsburgh Courier, the Washington Tribune, the St. Louis Argus, the Boston Guardian, the Negro World, the Norfolk Journal and Guide and even papers published in the far South like the Houston Informer, the Oklahoma Black Dispatch and the East Tennessee News, he would find that the race press is more independent and courageous than ever before in history. Mr. Overton certainly should know his own home city better than any outsider, but we venture the assertion that his exaggerated fulminations are not true even of Chicago. Finding Facts Searching out the facts underlying the status of the Negro in the United States is not a pleasant job. It is like auditing the accounts of a struggling business hardly able to make both ends meet. Yet no corporation that hopes for ultimate profits turns its back upon an accounting because of the disheartening facts that may be disclosed. In this sense, the conference at Durham is commendable. Even though its accomplishments may not be great and far-reaching, there is courage in its leaders and wisdom in their willingness to continue to finance this annual audit of the Negro's progress. It is possible that out of Durham, N. C., which is an example of the Negro's ability to succeed through cooperation in business, may come the program by which the black man can turn his liabilities into assets. To Mr. Hearst Mr. William Randolph Hearst, writing an editorial for his twenty-odd newspapers, Sunday morning, said: "The Hearst papers demand for America. SCHOOLS---MORE SCHOOLS, BETTER SCHOOLS, more ADEQUATE and more MODERN school buildings; the best TEACHERS and the best COMPENSATION for teachers; a SCHOOL SEAT and a LIBERAL EDUCATION for every child in America, native or foreign born. "No politics in the schools, no race antagonism in the schools, no religious prejudice in the schools. "The schools are for all children; and THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1929 all the children should there be taught and trained and graduated in that KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS POWER, and in an enlightened understanding of AMERICAN PRINCIPLES AND IDEALS." It is presumed that Mr. Hearst means what he says. Therefore, on the question of race antagonism as it affects the public schools of Maryland we call his attention to the 1928 report of the Maryland State Department of Education, which says: "The education of the average county pupil in the white elementary schools costs $48, colored $23. "The instruction of the average county white high school pupil costs $96, colored $52.13." Furthermore, in the recent campaign to have the legislature equalize the pay of colored and white county teachers, Mr. Hearst's Baltimore News and his Baltimore American said not one mumbling editorial word. 39 Years Ago Ex-Congressman Thomas E. Miller's story of how he came to Congress nearly two score years ago, is enlightening to those who have followed in the press the arguments pro and con upon the likelihood of Mr. Oscar DePriest's ootaining his seat. North Carolina's lily-white Republican Pritchard, of 1929, who refuses to occupy office room next to Mr. DePriest, is probably a relative of that other Pritchard of forty years ago, who told Mr. Miller that Negroes were not wanted in Congress. But Speaker Nicholas Longworth of Ohio hails from the same state which sent former President William McKinley to Congress in 1889. McKinley advised Mr. Miller to get out of Congress and support some white man for the job. Mr. Longworth, to the contrary, fathered the procedure which seated Mr. DePriest without embarrassment. The 52nd Congress, through both the Republican and the Democratic caucuses (without considering the merits of the cases), arbitrarily decided upon seating only one of two colored Congressmen elected. The 71st Congress permitted no issue of race to be discussed. Comparison of these incidents leads to the conclusion that Congress is making progress. For every Blanton there is a Tinkham, and for every Pritchard a La Guardia. The development of tolerance and intellect isn't prodigious. It isn't even satisfying, but it's perceptible; and that is a reason for congratulations. AfroReadersSay Readers may write on any subject they like. Usually 150 words are enough.

LYON Tells Pastors 20,000 Were Sent to Maryland Alone, 1750 to 1770. EGYPTIANS BLACK White Race Seeks Credit for Ancient Negro Civilization. "If you want to know what kind of people settled the United States, I refer you to Prof. Alsworth Ross, professor of Sociology at the University of Wisconsin, who has an article on 'Origins of the American People,' published in the Century Magazine for March," declared Dr. Ernest Lyon, pastor of Ames M. E. Church and Liberian Consul General, speaking before the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting at Bethel Church, Monday. Professor Ross says: "The slums and alleys were raked for material to fatten the American plantations. Hard-hearted men sold dependent kinsfolk to serve in the American colonies. Kidnapers smuggled over boys and girls gathered in the streets of London and Bristol. About 1670 no few than 10,000 persons were spirited from England in one year. "The government was slow to strike at the infamous traffic, for as was urged in Parliament, 'the plantations cannot be maintained without a considerable number of white servants.' The same thing was done and exactly the same position was taken by the government in the case of slavery of the black man. "In the first century of the colonies, gallows-birds were often given the option of servitude on the American plantations. Some prayed to be hanged instead. "In 1717, the British government entered on the policy of penal transportation, and thenceforth, discharged certain classes of felons upon the colonies until the revolution made it necessary to shunt the muddy stream to Botany Bay. "It is estimated that between 1750 and 1770, 20,000 convicts were exported to Maryland alone, so that even the school masters there at that time were mostly of this stripe. "The colonies bitterly resented such cargoes, but their self-protective measures were regularly disallowed by the home government. Those who paint the picture presented by African slavery can make no more ugly picture than this." Dr. Lyon's subject was "The Genius, Characteristics and Contribution of the Black Race to the Civilization of Mankind." He spoke of Egypt as the cradle of civilization and said that, in utter disregard of truth and in violation of every principle of science, the white race seeks to make the people of Egypt, Ethiopia and Mauritanis, white, instead of black and to rob the black man of his Hamite antecedents. Dr. Lyon quoted the ancient Greek historian. Herodotus, who stated that the Egyptians had black skins and fuzzy hair. He quoted Josephus, Volney and others who supported the same view. Dr. Lyon declared that Abraham was the father of the black people and Moses secured all of his training under a Negro civilization. Africans who built the Sphinx and the Pyramid produced also, the first writing, hieroglyphics and were the first to conceive the signs which we now use in astronomy and also invented geometry. Writing on "Negroes in Texas" in the May number of the Debunker, edited by E. Haldeman-Julius at Girard, Kansas Booth Mooney asserts that Texas is saturated with race prejudice. His article summarized by the N.A.A.C.P., tells that in the town he lives in, of 2500 population, all Negroes must live on one side of the railroad track and are allowed in the business section only on brief errands of necessary shopping. Mr. Mooney continues: "There is a road in this county on which it is ruled (by whom and by what right is immaterial) that Negroes must not appear at any time. Even those who are merely traveling through the county may not traverse this road, but must make a detour that adds several miles to their journey. "The school building for the Negro children of the town in which I live is a ramshackle structure that was formerly a barn. It has large cracks through which wind can (and does) sweep violently, and which let in rain and snow. School 'keeps' only a few months each year for the Negro children, and the teacher is never an efficient or sympathetic one. Only the bare rudiments of learning are taught, and these are presented in a 'take it or leave it' manner." 9 Why First Negro Elected to Congress Was Not Seated Son of J. Willis Menard says Congress agreed that year 1868 was too soon after war for Negro to sit in Congress, although he got twice as many votes as his white opponent. To the Editor: In the columns of the AFRO-AMERICAN of April 20, 1929, Mr. Louis R. Lautier, of this city, writes a brief account of the election of J. Willis Menard to the 40th Congress from the Second Congressional District of Louisiana, November 3, 1868. Mr. Lautier's letter contains all the facts in the case of my father's election to the 40th Congress. In addition to his letter I wish to add a transcript of the first certificate of election ever issued to a colored man to be presented to the Congress of the United States: Certificate of Election STATE OF LOUISIANA, EXECUTIVE DEPT. New Orleans, La., Nov. 25, 1868. To all to whom these presents may come: Know ye, that in accordance with the provisions of an act entitled, 'An Act Relative to Elections in the State of Louisiana,' approved October 19, 1868, an election was held by the qualified electors of this state on the third day of November, A.D. 1868, for five members of Congress, to represent the first, second, third, fourth and fifth Congressional Districts of the State of Louisiana in the 41st Congress of the United States and for one member of Congress from the Second Congressional District to the 40th Congress to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Hon. James Mann. And whereas the returns of said election made to the Secretary of State as required by law have been carefully examined, compared and attested by the proper officers whose duty it was to examine the same. Two to One Vote And whereas it has been ascertained from said returns that J. Willis Menard received 5,107 votes and Caleb S. Hunt 2,833 votes cast at said eleition. Now therefore I. Henry C. Warmoth, Governor of the State of Louisiana, do hereby certify that J. Willis Menard received a majority of the votes cast for Representative to the 40th Congress from the Second Congressional District of the State of Louisiana. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the State to be affixed this 25th day of November in the year of our Lord, 1868, and the independence of the United States, the ninety-third. (Seal) GEO. E. BOVEE H. C. WARMOTH Sec'y of State Governor of the State of Louisiana. First to Speak in House Mr. Menard's electio: was contested by Mr. Hunt (white), and both contestants were allowed the privilege of making speeches in their own behalf. Thus, Mr. Menard enjoyed the distinction of being the first colored man to make a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives. The committee on elections decided that it was too early to admit a colored man as a member of the National Congress, and that it was impossible to seat the white contestant on account of his minority vote. Garfield Offered Motion Consequently Congressman James A. Garfield, of Ohio, offered a motion declaring the seat from the second Congressional District of Louisiana vacant, and that the salary ($5,000) be divided equally between Menard and Hunt. Garfield's motion was adopted by a large majority. These facts were related to me by my father many years ago. At Williams College In 1905 my son (W. M. Menard) entered Williams College in Massachusetts and was introduced to President Harry Garfield, of said college. Mr. Garfield remarked to him that he had heard the name "Menard" some years ago. My son had no complaint to make of the treatment he received during the four years he attended Williams College. Probably it was an atonement for the unjust treatment given his grandfather in 1869. WILLIS T. MENARD, 2623 11th-st., nw., Washington, D.C. WHAT OF THAT? Didst fancy life was spent on beds of ease Fluttering the rose-leaves scattered by the breeze? Come, rouse thee! Work while it is called day! Coward, arise! Go forth upon thy way. Lonely? And what of that? Some must be lonely; 'tis not given to all To feel a heart responsive rise and fall, To blend another life into its own. Work may be done in loneliness, Work on. Didst fondly dream the sun would never set? Doth fear to lose thy way? Take courage yet! Learn then to walk by faith, and not by sight; Thy steps will guided be, and guided right. Hard? Well, what of that? Didst fancy life one summer holiday With lessons none to learn, and naught but play? Go, get thee to thy task! Conquer or die! No help? Nay, 'tis not so! Though human help be far, thy God is nigh; Who feeds the ravens, hears His children's cry. He's near thee, wheresoeer thy footsteps roam. And He will guide thee, light thee, help thee home.

While not quite up to the standard of the New York company, the present aggregation of singers, dancers and comedians, proves a worthwhile substitute. Headed by a noteworthy cast of comedians, chief of whom are Johnny Hudgins. Baltimore boy, Hamtree Harrington, and Emmett "Gang" Anthony; the piece, except in a few forgivable instances, affords comedy in all its levels, low and high, and judging from the laughter that greeted these functers' efforts, their strivings were not in vain. Music, furnished in the main by Cecil Mack's Blackbird Choir, was of a particularly moving sort, whether it were sorrow or joy that the singers would express. The travesty on the saucer-burial scene from "Porgy", with Mary Jones leading the singers in a weird chanting of the "St. Louis Blues." is a thing not seen forgotten by those who were fortunate or wise enough to witness the Leslie production. The Mamoulian stage effects were aptly copied. But let us get to the petite, and personable Harriet Calloway, who, heralded by critics as another Florence Mills, showed plenty of promise in her carefree and often furious dancing and singing. For it was her "Diga Diga Do" number that almost stole the show, while her song "I Must Have That Man" was particularly well received. Harriett is really the life of the party, acting here, there, in and out of the show. Jessica Zackery and Barrington Guy proved that despite its familiarity, there is much left in the song "I Can't Gi... You Anything But Love." Following Broadway revues the production has several bits that are diverting, though some are not of this year's vintage. The poker game, long a familiar skit, almost threw some of the audience into mysteries. John Worthy and Ed Thompson, billed as the Bill Robinson duo, danced "out, of this world," and their tapping up and down a double pair of stairs would kindle envy in the heart of many in aspiring hoofer and Aaron Palmer and Willie Green handled their pedal extremities with no less ease than this dancing duo.

A chorus, varying from sixteen to twenty brown and light skinned d. mmsels, danced so hard at times that it seemed that the stage would collapse under the strain. Costumes and scenery were fitting, and when we count our pleasant show memories for the year 1929. "Blackbirds" will certainly be among the first to be recalled. Making its second appearance in Baltimore during the current season, "The Jazz Regiment," now playing the Royal Theatre, makes no less a hit than it did on its initial run. Andrew Tribble, John Mason and Dusty Fletcher, all working under cork, keep the house in laughter during the entire performance and the singing of Juanita Stinnette and Gertrude Saunders is of the pleasing variety. Close harmony is provided by the Suwanee Quartet and the Birmingham Four, who know chords. Dancing seems to be the weakest spot in the production, but a chorus, bubbling over with pulchritude, makes you easily overlook this. Sammy Paige, with his uke, does not have the opportunity to get away with the type of stuff of which he is capable, but teamed with Gertie Saunders, coaxes some wicked. harmony out of what he chooses to call "pork chop." The characterizations of Chappie Chappelle and William Edmonds; as marine officers. Columbus Jackson as a sergeant, and Al Young, as a Mexican, all are deserving of high praise. The dainty Pearl McCormick furnishes quite a bit of the feminine loveliness in the production, but Program for Week Beginning Monday, April 29th. MONDAY—TUESDAY— FRIDAY— CHANGES MADE IN "BLACKBIRDS" CAST Johnny Hudgins Transferred from Original Company to TIM MOORE TO STAY Speculation as to Whether Second Company Will Last. Interviewed in his home in Baltimore. Johnny Hudgins told the AFRO-AMERICAN that it would be at least September before he joined the New York company of "Blackbirds." Mr. Hudgins reported that his shift to the No. 2 company was due to an attempt to strengthen the unit and to give his home town fans an opportunity to see him perform. He is expecting to remain with the company while it is on tour and in the event the company closes will more than likely be billed out of one of the big national vaudeville offices. NEW YORK - In the attempt to keep his "Blackbirds" a sure-fire hit on Broadway, Lew Leslie has been making a number of changes and only recently added Billie Mills to the A wild rumor hit Harlem last week that Tim Moore was withdrawing from the show, but an investigation disclosed that whatever difference there might have been between the comedian and the producer were adjusted satisfactorily and Moore is again holding his old spot with the New York company. It is said that within the next few days the name of Mantan Moreland will be among the featured members of the cast. Moreland having worked his way up by the good comedy which he has been dishing up in the show. Many changes have been made in the chorus line-up during the run of the company. It is said that Leslie has had the best of reason for making the changes among those supposed to be the lesser lights of the show and is sending Johnny Hudgins to the Number 2 company which opened at Ford's Theatre in Baltimore this week. Hudgins left town after the regular show at the Eltinge Theatre on Saturday night so that he would have a little time to spend among his old friends in Baltimore, having lived in that city for many years. Those trying to furnish reasons for the playing of Hudgins in the No. 2 company have suggested that Leslie is making the move with an eye to strengthening his second show as he has plans for the company to sail for Europe some time in May or early in June. Whether Johnny will return with the company instead of again going back to Europe "on his own" is food for speculation as he had nothing to say when seen and questioned about the new turn of things down at the Eltinge. The success of Hudgins after he left the company which he went to Europe in and which was headed by the late Florence Mills was of a nature to send his stock skyrocketing and it was not long after he returned to the United States that many producers were angling for him. It is said that the Keith offices are making an attempt to add Hudgins to the list of Negro performers now going out on the circuit, but so far Johnny has been satisfied to sail under the Leslie banner. During the run of the No. 2 company in Philadelphia there were many rumors out that Leslie either planned to close the show for good or to make drastic changes that would leave many of those who started out with the com- NOW You can be happy with your Husband or Wife!

J. - The principal feature of the 1928 ratings of the America Tennis Association is the return to leadership in men's singles of Edgar G. Brown, three times national champion. Edgar Brown E. G. Brown, the premier stylist of the A. T. A., who won the National singles title in 1922 and 1923, is rated No.1. Brown earned this position by winning the Nationals, in which he defeated a strong line-up of seeded players, including two former champions, Ted Thompson and Eyre Saitch. His single defeat was suffered at the hands of Saitch in the New York Open, but this was more than neutralized by his winning the Nationals. Saitch, Hudlin, Downing Eyre Saitch retains his position as No.2. Saitch-tasted defeat twice during the season. Richard Hudlin had the greatest season of his career, having to his credit a win over Saitch in the South Easterns. Dr. E. D. Downing of Virginia, has dropped from third to fourth position, giving way to Hudlin Granger Rises Lester B. Granger's advance from twelfth place to sixth place was one of the surprises of the season. Ted Thompson "Ted" Thompson only competed in two tournaments and was unable to amass enough points to hold his high position of former years. "Ted" is rated at No. 7. Jimmy Stocks Number 8 is a new comer and one who promises to be a future national champion. In his first year of competition, James Stocks, the youthful California wizard, came east to the Nationals and won his way into the charmed circle of the First Ten. He defeated many topnotchers, and "Ted" Thompson a terrific battle in the semi-finals. eH also won the Pacific Open Sectional. Dr. John L. McGriff, the veteran president of the A.T.A. still holds his own in the First Ten, although he has dropped two places, giving way to Stocks and Granger, who are the newcomers. George Hill, the hard serving New Jersey champion, makes his premier appearance in the First Ten. Newcomers H. A. Kean of Kentucky has made a big jump from No. 24 to No. 13 in the current rating. Dawkins of Philadelphia, at No 14, is an entirety newcomer in national circles. Dr. L. C. Downing of Virginia, holds his THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1929 same position at No 15. Allison Davis is rated at No. 18. Dr. Bomar of New Jersey, also receives his first national rating. Graham, of Ohio, only played in the Nationals, and was rated in the Second Ten, altho it is predicted that he will be a possible contender for championship honors next year. Oldsters Missing A number of prominent players, including Harvey Butler, Johnny Wilkinson, Tally Holmes, Trotman, Dr. Robinson, Dr. Gordon, Lenoir Cook, Logan McWilson, James Gayle and A. H. Harper, are missing from the National ratings for 1928. Women's Singles Miss Ballard at Top The three times champion, Miss Lulu Ballard of Philadelphia, again heads the First Ten of the Women, having won the Nationals and the South Easterns, and lost to her closest rival, Miss Ora Washington, in the finals of the Pennsylvania and New York tournaments, and to the new sensation, Mrs. Gittens, in the New England Open. Miss Waskington holds down No. 2, with only a shade of difference between her record and that of the champion. Miss Eunice Brown competed in four major tournaments, but like Miss Washington, didn't reach her best form at Bordentown. Miss Channels Falls Miss Isadora Channels only competed in two major tournaments, and is rated at No. 4. She was No. 2 in 1927. Miss Emma Leonard, has advanced one point over her 1927 rating, changing places with her well known New York rival, Mrs. Lottie B. Wade. 1928 RATINGS OF THE AMERICAN TENNIS ASSOCIATION ... 24 pt. head—7 lead.

By BILL GIBSON THERE IS CONFUSION, even turmoil and other perplexities anent the new football fumble rule, of which we have written several colyums back; and now there comes a plea that its ap- plication be postponed until 1930. Se . Declaring that the reaction to the change in the rules which makes it illegal for a player on the defending side to run with a fumbled ball, Sydney E. Hutchinson, chairman of the council on athletics and the football committee of the University of Penn- sylvania, says among other things: “Certainly every effort should be made not to saddle upon the game a radical innovation that offends the millions who have helped to make football America’s most popular outdoor sport.” Continuing, Mr. Hutchinson says: “No change has produced so much unfavorable comment, which has come from spectators, old players, and newspaper critics. It has, in my judgment, been so uniformly unfavorable that I should think. the committee would seriously consider whether it had not made a mistake, or at least acted too hastily.” The University of Pennsylvania man then recommends that the application of the rule be postponed until 1930, and that the committee make an effort to learn the real sentiment of the entire college world regarding the change. In the case of future im- portant changes in the rules, he recommends that none become effective until one year after they have been promulgated. __ Edward K: Hall, chairman of the national football rules com- mittee, when informed of the protest, pointed to the action. of the Football Coaches Association, which favored the change, and the rules committee which made the change, and declared: “We have not done anything in years that will do as much to simplify the rules as this one change. The change will result in a more open_game.” Despite the protest it is not likely that the action of the tules committee will be changed. Whether or not the change Is a wise one, will be told this fall. and to us there does seem to be some logic in the recommendation to let a new rule rest a year before if is put into effect. And you'll find that the players who have to abide by the rules can tell you more about the effectiveness of those rules than any—players, fans, critics, and coaches, grand- stand and otherwise. _ CLOSE ON THE HEELS of this protest about football come some changes in the basketball code for next year, and we feel that you should be interested. < ‘The joint basketball rules committee, which clased its annual conclave in New York last week, made four changes in the code. but voted to defer action on the recommended. abolition of the cen- ter toss to start the game after gach score. With the tabling of this proposed change, the Sommittee recommended that coaches favoring the change, give the new plan a trial in practice games. ‘A new ruling on the jump-ball provides that neither jumper may touch the ball after it has been tapped until it has touched another player or the floor. Various technical fouls connected with the jump-ball, such as catching the ball before it has been tapped, were changed to mere violations, the penalty for which is loss of the ball rather than a foul. A statement was inserted in the rules which will enable of- ficials to rule with more uniformity on “traveling” with the ball. In regard to a player fouled in the act of shooting a goal, the committee ruléd that henceforth the ball will be to3sed up at center after the second free throw, IF THE PLAYER FOULED MADE HIS FIELD-GOAL. It will be in play after a miss on the second free throw if the field goal WAS NOT MADE. This eliminates the possibility of making five points which had -heretofore existed, and we have a faint Suspiiow that “Lanky” Jones will find any- thing but joy In these tidings. —————— YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS Baltimore's own little bunion derby Saturday afternoon, the occasion, of course, being the fifth annual Health Week Marathon.

McCann asserts. He is impressed by the fact that at the Cremo factories every sanitary precaution known to modern hygiene is none too good for Cremo. The Cremo factories are protected by white walls and plenty of sunlight-safeguards of cleanliness. "No wonder," says Alfred W. McCann, "that Cremo is a cigar that can be trusted by smokers who want enjoyment and safety, too. Every tobacco leaf entering the Cremo factories is scientifically sterilized by U. S. Government approved methods." He says we ought to call our Cremo factories "the Cremo sanitary kitchens" because in cleanliness they are precisely what all food factories ought to be. In addition to the health protection outlined by Alfred W. McCann, Cremo gives you the greatest possible cigar enjoyment, being made of selected tobaccos, all ripe and mellow. Over $7,000,000 was spent in perfecting the method and means of manufacture that in Cremo insure uniformly fine cigars. Cremo comes to you fresh, germ-free and crush-proof—being individually foil-wrapped. WILMINGTON, Del.—The Wilmington P.R.R.

The sweet young thing relaxed. Her velvet-brown skin was oughed... the full lips tinted. The black seal coat, trimmed with leopard, was opened at the neck to reveal a string of real An awkward silence enveloped the room. "Daddy, who's the pretty lady?" Helen laughed in her confusion. Lester was still angry. He stood pears, linked twice about a swan-shaped neck. Helen Stone leaned against the upholstery. She was playing the leading role in "Lone Sorcerer" at a downtown Boston theater. They called her "red hot mamma," and she lived up to the name. "The way that baby sings the blues is just too bad," commented the man with the bald spot and a few strands of hair brushed over the vacant space. He sat always in the first row. He threw her a kiss and said: "She's some bevy, and I don't mean master." That night Helen received a note coming her performance. It was from lesser Wayland. She reviewed its contents in her mind now: "Dearest Helen: Come to my house tonight. Adelaide is away for a few days. This is a wonderful opportunity to be alone. Just you and me. I shall expect you when the stew is over. Never alway He smiled a dreary, mirthless smile. She remembered how she had debated with herself whether she should take the chance in going to his house. She remembered that she had shrugged her shoulders and thought that she was capable of being care of herself. She could master all situations. She still remembered her early training, and basically she was still a good girl. She smoothed the soft, glossy fur on her coat—Lester's first present—and some people would call this terrible but she had done no wrong. All she had done no wrong. promises—promises that she never expected to carry out. How foolish men are! They are so easily fooled. If he had an ounce of gray matter he'd keep the woman he's got. He's at least sure of her. "Just shows what poor logic men emblify." I want him only for his presents. PRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1929 Didn't he have the largest clientele in this city? He probably fell for her because he was bored with the monotonous life Adelaide offered him. Helen was full of pep, while Adelaide was quiet. The taxicab stopped at a fashionable house in the best section of Boxbury. Flashing on a light, the taxicab driver opened the door for the girl, at the same time eyeing her and thinking: "That chicken is dressed right out of this world—and how!" Helen hastened up the stone steps and rang the bell. Lester greeted her with a kiss. "Welcome to your future home, honey." "But you're still living with your wife." Helen reminded him. "Ah, that's all arranged . . . going to see my lawyer tomorrow about my divorce." Lester took her into the library. "Just make yourself comfortable . . . and to home." He led her through the dimly lighted living room. She threw a quick glance about noting the mahogany grand piano, as well as the softness of the oriental rug she was walking on. The sat on the luxurious divan in the library. He moved his foot and inched noseor Helen heather Helen. His arm encircled her slender waist. "Baby . . . I knew you'd come." "Why, you never called me 'Baby' before. Les." "Well, a man has to be careful. First time we've had a chance to be alone, you know." "Oh, is that it?" He laughed. She sat on the divan beneath the soft light of the floor lamp, watching him with bright eyes. . . They were tantalizing. She neither smiled nor frowned, nor did she seem the least perturbed. Her bright eyes continually strayed to a decanter and glasses which Lester had placed on the table at the end of the divan. He laughed and reached over for the decanter. While he poured the wine Helen looked about, observing the arrangement of the furniture and making mental notes of the changes she would make if she became his wife. He handed her a glass of the dark red liquid, and poured another for himself. He proposed a toast! "Here's to the future. Mrs. Wayland. May she always be happy." "Here's hoping for the best," responded Helen. They drank. Lester's spirits rose sky high. He pulled Helen toward him. The wine sang in his head. The girl's soft body, with it faint perfume, intoxicated him. "Oh. Baby!" His voice was hoarse. Helen was cold and unresponsive. She turned her slender brown hand this way and that and studied the brilliant diamond sparkling on the third finger. She calculated its worth. His lovemaking bored her. However, to be half way congenial, she rested her marcelled bob on his arm. "I love you." he said. I love you. Be sure. Her gaze faltered and wavered, but his emotions were chaotic. "Helen . . ." There was a disconcerting sound of tiny feet and a prattling child's voice. "Daddy. I . . . I waked up. I got scared, daddy." "Just my luck!" Helen looked surprised but relieved. "Didn't know you had a kid, Les." Lesler took Junior in his arms. staring apologetically upon her; made a half-hearted effort to stop her, as moving languidly, she rose from the divan. "Daddy, who's the pretty . . .?" "Les with a kid! . . . If Les is a fool. I'm not! Believe me, I didn't want him anyway, and I certainly wouldn't tie myself down to mothering somebody else's kid." She saw she was through with Les, and she had sense enough to see that it was for the best. Her eyes darkened. . . . She thought of Jimmy, her old sweetheart. She looked into her purse. . . . She found two nickels. She considered. The fare on the street car was ten cents. Must she ride home on the car . . . or must she take one nickel to call Jimmy on the telephone to ask him for his forgiveness? She had denied him every privilege of calling. She sighed and hummed one of the song hits of the show, and walked out into the night. DO YOU KNOW? HOW LONG CAN ANIMALS GO WITHOUT FOOD The camel can go without water for weeks; the giant snakes without food for more than a year; mammals fast for months without food or think during their winter hibernation, during which time their vitality is extremely low. Snails kept in a box for 12 years, when placed in a vessel of water, left their shells and cried about. Cats, horses and mules can go without food for 3 weeks; dogs and wolves for 6 weeks; rabbits 2 or 3 weeks; birds, guinea pigs and rats about 1 week. Cold-blooded vertebrates, especially amphibians (living both on land and in water) and reptiles can live without food for a year or longer. Aframerican Fables THE PARABLE OF THE MINFIT By G. V. Garwin, Brilliant Humorist There was once a certain Egg or whose shoulders Bad Luck rode like the Old Man of the Sea. Anything this Dismal Don chanced o undertake ended in a complete flop; his presence in any kind of a proposition was a signal for the deal to hit the skids. Success was something he was always causing and never catching; whenever he opened the door at Opportunity's knuckle she promptly thumbed her nose at him and lit out down the avenue with a mocking chuckle. He was the kind of a gay that strikes out in the last of the ninth with the bases loaded and the score tied; that holds four aces against a straight flush; that would develop muscular paralysis in a valley of diamonds. ONE HARD LUCK "BABY" He never quit trying, though, and his persistence was only exceeded by his ability to never connect. The story of his life read like the biography of a condemned soul. Just when everything seemed jake, Misfortune fetched the rollers and down he came with a noise described by the murder story writers as a "sickening thud." Tough breaks were the only kind he ever got, and they trailed him in hordes, ready to clamp on him without notice, as the Lilliputians did Gulliver. He weighted himself down with four leaf clovers, swastikas, good luck omens, and other peripheralia supposed to knock off approaching jinxes, but they did about as much good as trying to corral a tornado with a barrel. He was not only constantly down, but he not infrequently was under—everything. A friend let him in on a proposition that carried the stamp of approval of those on the inside, and for once it seemed as if he at last was going to advance a couple of pegs. But at the last minute the treasurer invited himself to Rio de Janeiro all of which would have been perfectly proper had he not made the slight omission of not leaving the company's funds behind. As it was, this little neglect on the part of the custodian of the Cush knocked the scheme out in the Fourth Dimension. The Hard Luck Baby went down with the ship. On another occasion he chanced to overhear some sure-thing fixers conversing about a forthcoming race between a couple of swift mags. From the talk, he gathered that the jockey riding the favorite hoss had been screwed down, and that another quadruped which had been kept under wraps was going to carrier home to a glorious and unexpected victory, whereby those who knew the layout would reap a harvest both lucrative and abundant. It was an air-tight frame-up, the fixers said, and nothing could cross it up. If ever there was a jam-up perfect get-together, this was it Well, the Mistit went to the track and wagered his wad, and that, of course, would have spelled down to anything from a transcontinental marathon to a game of ping-pong. The Unknown Plug, with a length's lead, stumbled in the home stretch, and another plug grabbed off the gravity, and Hard Times found himself on the stones again. Things were going from bad to worse and back again, when somebody tipped him off to the whereabouts of a gent styled as a psychoanalyst who had established quite a name for himself as a doctor for the causes pertaining to misfortune and the advocating of the means whereby one shakes off the effects therefrom. Deciding that conditions couldn't be made a heck of a lot worse by the visit, Calamity Kid hied himself over to the domicile of the disciple of Freud to get a low down on his particular malady. The Deep Thinker told him that he was "out of tune"—whatever that meant—with the Cosmic Scheme, and that he would have to change certain things before he could hope to shake off the misery that had him in its body scissors. Now, whether he had been given the right dope or whether it was a timely coincidence brought about by Fortune having at last taken compassion on the poor sucker is not definitely known, but the fact remains that shortly after his trip to the Righter of Mental Errors he invested a buck in a lottery, and a few days later was presented with a hundred grand, the top donation. He promptly died of heart failure. NEVER FOOL AROUND WITH FATE. Black General Routed Spain's Armie 22 Antonio Macco, Cuban leader, humbled Spain's finest horsemen who were sent to conquer the island: He was the most powerful figure in the fight for independence. By J. A. Rogers "HE HAD DON LEANDRO WHIPPED TO DEATH" General Antonio Maceo, the Toussaint L'Ouverture of Cuba, is the last of the great patriots of history. No man since, fighting in the cause of his country's freedom, has so captivated the imagination and attention of the world. The writer was a child at the time, but he recalls with what breathless interest the civilized world followed the daring deeds of Maceo. He recalls the profound sorrow that swept over all the nations, save one, that December morning of 1896 when the news came that their hero had been killed in an ambush, betrayed by one of his own men. Antonio Maceo was born at Majaguabo in the province of Santiago de Cuba in 1848. His grandfather, said to be of French descent, married a black woman. His father, Marco Maceo, married a black ex-slave. Marianne Grajale. He was thus three-fourths black and one-fourth white. Until he was past 20 Maceo could neither read nor write. He began life as a driver of oxen on a sugar plantation and worker later as a longshoreman. When the first Cuman insurrection broke in 1868, he was among the first to join. and ten years later when it was quelled he was the last to yield in spite of all promises. From the start he proved such a whole-souled fighter and skilful leader that it was not long before he was made an officer, rising to the rank of general. When the "Ten Years' War." as the first evil was known, came to an end. Maceo held out in the eastern provinces for several months, giving much trouble. At last he fled to Jamaica. KILLS BRUTAL MASTER During that war he did something that was characteristic of him. As a boy on the plantation of Don Leandro, he had seen Don Leandro order his slave-driver to strip a female slave to the waist, and then had her so brutally beaten that she died that evening. Maceo had pleaded in vain for her. One of her first acts when he got command of some troops was to go to Don Leandro's mansion, call him to the door, where after a brief battle with him, he ordered him to be bound. Assembling all the slaves—slavery was not abolished in Cuba until 1880—he had Don Leandro whipped to death before their eyes, after which he set fire to the mansion. KILLS TREACHEROUS CAPTAIN Maceo spent the next 17 years of his life as a roaming adventurer, conspiring in the meanwhile against the oppressors of his native land. He visited Mexico, Costa Rica, and the United States, and Spanish Honduras. In the latter country he served as a general for some time, and then with the fever of Cuban independence burning in his blood, he returned to Cuba. Starting another insurrection he was captured and imprisoned, but escaping he fled to New York. There he worked resolutely, getting together money, arms and ammunition. When all was ready he started for Cuba. But the spies of Spain were busy in New York, and learning that Maceo was going to make a dash from the Babamas into Cuba, offered the captain of the brie $25,000 to steer toward a Spanish warship. Macoo discovered the plot in the nick of time and with a revolver all the captain's car forced him to turn about and make for land. After landing his men and munitions, he tied the captain and two accomplices to the most, stayed in the brig, and as it was going down shot the three traitors to death. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1929 BEATS SPAIN'S GREATEST GENERAL In the meantime the revolt in Cuba, stirred by Jose Marti, and being carried on by Gen. Gomez, was languishing. With the return of Maceo, all burst forth into life again and the population rushed to arms. On landing Maceo made a pledge that in less than three months he would sweep through the island and drive the Spaniards out of their stronghold at Havana. And he began by keeping his word. In battle after battle Maceo and his men drove the Spaniards before them, burning their plantations, spreading death and destruction in their march until they had driven the Spaniards into Guantanamo. In the meantime Spain, alarmed at Maceo's success, sent out its ablest general, Marshal Campos. Campos was a man of tremendous prestige. He had been--he victor of the first Cuban revolt, and was the most powerful figure in all Spain. He had returned the Bcurbons to the throne of Spain and was known as the king maker. But he was to meet one that was more than his match. Maceo marched to meet kim, and coming up with him at Paralejo, defeated his greatly superior force so thoroughly that Campos, himself, barely escaped capture. Nothing seemed to be able to stop the onslaught of these black heroes. For it must be noted that all but a handful of Maceo's men were Negroes. Franc Woodward, a white American newspaper correspondent with Maceo, said: "The party of General Maceo is spoken of as the black party. It is composed exclusively of the darker-complexioned Cubans, although there are many white officers. "In the army of Gen. Gomez, which is designated as the white party, there are not half a dozen colored men." Chas. Chapman, a white writer says: "The Negroes had provided a majority of the army of liberation." Maceo's black men were fighting for something more than Cuba's freedom. They were fighting for equality with their white and near-white fellow Cubans. After they had helped Cuba win her freedom, they themselves had to fight white and near-white Cubans for their own. Two thousand of them laid down their lives in a cause that again brought about American intervention. But this is another story. After his defeat Campos was recalled and Gen. Weyler, known as "Butcher" Weyler was sent in his place. But he also proved no match for Maceo. Weyler built great wide fortifications of barb wire, cement and bombs, known as trochas, across the island, but Maceo and his men crossed them at will. BLACK MEN REFUSE BRIBES Saves one white writer: "Away galloped the dark troopers mounted on the hardy Cuban horses, lightly attired with no impediment but their munitions—American rifles and their terrible macketes, which a Cuban handles from his boyhood as casily as he rides horses without a saddle. "The raiders swept over Puerto Principe, across the trochas, rast the rich and fertile provinces of Santa Clara and Matanzas, dodging past the Spanish columns, dashing at outposts, burning plantations, destroying mills, laying waste every field and crop, blowing up railways, cutting telegraphs, punishing and blackmailing the loyalists, terrorizing the rural population, spreading alarm even in garrison towns. "At last they met the brave old Marshal Campos, and Maceo outmaneuvered him so completely that the Spanish king maker had only just time to return by sea to Havana before Maceo himself appeared close to the capital of the island carrying fire and sword into the wealthiest and the most loyal territory of Cuba." Seeing that the black men were the soul of the revolution, one of Butcher Weyler's first acts was to try to pacify them by offering them equality and high posts in the government, but they scorned his proposals. MACEO'S LAST EXPLOIT Maceo's goal was Havana. But the road to the capital was blocked by Weyler's most formidable trocha, crossing this, however, Maceo decided to dash on the capital. He had only 500 horsemen, while the Spaniards numbered tens of thousands. But Maceo was accustomed to that. At all times the Spaniards had vastly ontnumbered the Cuban heroes. But, alas, this was to be Maceo's last exploit. The spies of Spain had been busy and the news of his crossing the trocha had been carried to Weyler. Worse, there was a traitor in his own ranks. This is said to be none other than his surgeon, Dr. Zertuchas. On the night of Dec. 4, 1896, leaving his little army behind. Maceo set out with 17 of his officers to study the lay of the land. Among them was Dr. Zertuchas. BETRAYED BY FRIEND Suddenly as they rode cautiously along a hell of fire burst on them. With a score of bullets in his body the gallant Maceo fell mortally wounded, while the remaining 15 of his men fell dead and dying around him. As to Dr. Zertuchas when next heard of he was safe in the Spanish lines. Nearing the ambush he had swerved his horse aside and escaped. At the noise of the firing Maceo's men rushed to the rescue and though outnumbered beat off the Spaniards and recovered the body of their chief News of his death was telegraphed to Spain, and the Spaniards celebrated his fall with special rejoicing. Thereafter the revolt lagged, and America was finally forced to intervene. Dr. Willard Shaw, correspondent of the New York World, wrote: "The town is filled with Spanish soldiers. They have nothing to do since the death of Maceo." GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES - NAUSEA Acid Stomach AWARDS PALM TO MACEO Chas. E. Chapman in his "History of the Cuban Republic," says, in awarding the palm to Maceo: "Gomez showed great military abilities in his conduct of affairs but the skill and courage of Maceo were so astonishingly great as to capture the attention of the entire world. He seemed to range at will between the provinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio, breaking into one or another of the trochas despite the Spanish armies. "His once great prestige lost. Marshal Campos was recalled to Spain, but Cuban victories, especially of the spectacular Maceo, continued to be the order of the day. In December, however, the great mulatto leader was killed in battle, and from that time forward the balance began to swing toward Spain." GREAT PATRIOT Lucciardi, Chancellor of France, in his "Life of Maceo," declares that while he does not wish "to discredit the bravery" of Gen. Gomez, yet "Maceo merited the title of general-in-chief as a right because he was the soul of the revolution." "Of all its heroes," he says, "none can be compared with him. He consecrated his life to the triumph of the idea of independence, and he fell gloriously—a victim of ardent patriotism. Maceo knew how to die as did the heroes of old." An editor who knew Maceo well gives the following description of him: "He was always of the sunniest disposition, closely attaching all people to him—a man of the strictest moral integrity; he never drank wine, he never smoked and GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES - NAUSEA Excess acid is the common cause of indigestion.

"And are you contemplating going?" "I may if I find a way to go." AN INVITATION "Why not go with me, Ruby?" asked the man. "My flivver will hold two." "Nope." "Oh, yes you will. You've never let me take you anywhere." "Nor anyone else. I don't see why you've got to take it upon yourself to haul me around, Douglas." "It's because I think I'd like it, Ruby. This time I'm going to have my way." "You are, are you?" she laughed, mockingly. "You'll see—Oh, goodness! I've got to be going." As she jumped from the stool another girl came in. "Hello, Nancy dear," greeted Ruby. "Gracious, Ruby, did you know Alex is in town?" asked the newcomer gushingly. "Motored down from Washington in a swell car; it's a big closed car. I don't know the make of it, but it's some swell, child, and Alex is looking good, too. Going to stay over till Wednesday. Believe me, Ruby, I'm going to sport that flivver. I'm going to make him take me to Mount Nebo Sunday. Douglas, Alex's beats that thing of yours." "Nancy, you don't bother about sporting my flivver, I see," said Hayes. "Douglas, you're funny," replied Nancy. "I'll leave that for Ruby to do." "Not so you can notice it," laughed Ruby. "Come on, Nancy. Are you going my way?" A LONG DRIVE Sunday came. Hayes was as good as his word. In due time he drove up to the Porter homestead and asked Bruce Porter for Ruby. When asked in, Hayes made it known that he preferred to sit in the car and wait. He had seen the girl peer cautiously from one of the upper windows, but whether she would go LUCKY SEVEN YEAR WINNERS HAND WIN IN GAMES!

"You would come, wouldn't you, Doug?" "As good as my word," he boasted. And they went to Mount Nebo. He made the evening exceptionally pleasant for her. When he bade her good-night on the Porter doorstep she did not hint that he could take her out again. But he did, occasionally at first, then often—so often that Smithfield began to wonder and there was some gossip. RUBY IS WORRIED Then came one evening in the early fall. She had been slightly ill. Her sunshiny smile seemed clouded. A troubled look had taken its place. He had not taken her anywhere for quite awhile, and she only went with him on this occasion when he finally had persuaded her that the air was what she needed. They had motored far into the adjoining county and now he had stopped beside a placid little pond on one of the less frequented roads. The pond extended for about two hundred feet along the roadside, shaded by giant cypress trees and bedecked with little, white water-loving flowers. "Ruby. I think this little spot is just a charm—real beautiful. Don't you think so?" The girl regarded the wild beauty of the pond with eyes that reminded one of its dark, placid waters, but she made no answer. "You're not enthusiastic about it, are you?" asked the man, "I thought you liked things like this." "I do, Doug, but—I—I'm a little—er—worried," she exclaimed, sadly—falteringly. "Is there anything I can do? If there is, please tell me what," he pleaded. "Perhaps there is, Mr. Hayes; but I wouldn't think of accepting your help," she informed him. "You see, Mommer is getting worse—I can't help but tell you,—Douglas—I just can't help it. I feel that you must know. Mommer is getting worse every day—and the—and the place is about to be sold." Hayes whistled through his teeth and was silent for a moment. "Let me buy it in," suggested Hayes. "No! Never, Douglas! You of all persons! I'd sell—Douglas Hayes, somehow I just cannot stand being pitied. That's why you insist on helping me. You pity me! Don't! It's all my fault. I had my chance. Oh, it's my fault!" She was gazing blankly at the lily-spangled pond, her voice trailing off into nothingness. He looked at her, then asked: "Your fault—what?" 25 "That I am what I am today. My life is ruined and I don't want any pity." "Your life ruined now? You're a free woman," he reminded. She turned her big, dreaming eyes upon him. Troubled eyes they were. Her dark-brown face winced as if from pain. She looked away. He had hurt her. She went on in a melancholy tone: "I threw my life away—oh, just threw it away. I had a chance to be happy. You know my story. But I wouldn't wait for the right one and foolishly, blindly married. After the way he treated me, it nearly ran Mommer crazy. That's why she's in the condition she is today.

A whispering breeze sighed among the cypress bowers. “Douglas, you must stop pitying me. It just makes it harder. 1 can’t go with you anywhere any more. I want you to just leave me alone. I’m taking your time from other girls. Some other girl should be sitting here instead of me. You should be thinking of your future happiness instead of wasting your time on silly unfortunates like me.” A DEJECTED LOVER Hayes sighed dejectedly. “Ruby, who—what girl in Smith- field or anywhere else, interests me?” She shook her head. “T don't know, but you haven't met all of the girls in the world.” “No, I haven't,” he admitted, then added; “and I don't care. to.” Then they sat silent. Suddenly he asked: “Did you—er—love — really love Withers?” She looked at him for a Jong mo- ment and then an unexpected state- ment left her lips. “He's dead.” “But did you?” he insisted, merci- lessly. . “Y thought 1 did.” “But you didn't?” “No” THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1929 | “Did you ever love any man?” Her dreaming, troubled eye: seasoned his face before she answer “yes, when I was quite a child,’ sbe replied, “and it wasn’t pupp} love either.” “How do you know it wasn't?” “Because.” “Because what?

HAYES 1S THOUGHTFUL rf Hayes gazed thoughtfully at the twilight Beam. a pe pond: ae here and there w e golden light lof a fading sun. It was enchanting. Did Ruby see it? He turned to her. She was like the enchanting pond. She seemed a part of it, Her dark face was like the shadows. Her teeth were white like the lilies. ‘Those lovely eyes were like the still dark waters, Her smile was like the flitting sunlight. The young man drank in her charm while his thoughts went back ito his childhood. Had he ever been the victim of childhood love? Yes and it was then that the girl sitting in the car with him had told him that she loved him. Was he. the nan she mentioned a few minutes ago? He had been her only child- ‘hood sweetheart, he was certain {Something. purst (orn abu ube within the young man. So wrapt in ‘thought was the girl that she did not inotice that his arm slipped about ther. Not until he drew her tender- jy, passionately to him did she arouse from her reverie. “Oh, Douglas, what——!” was her surprised protest. “F love you, Ruby, dearest. Don't you re——” * “No, no. Don’t!” she tried pull- ing away from him, then suddenly, ceased to protest. He drew her Sloss whispering passionately te er. ‘They drove home under star-lit skies. And the star-bedecked night, too, was like Ruby. Lovely things; the lily-spangled pond, the star- studded sky and Rules and all jthree were God's handiwork. “AFTER THE MARRIAGE Three months later found the nest well-feathered. ‘The little bungalow on Church street no longer sheltered a sole occupant, but two instead. Douglas Hayes and his bride, Ruby, were happy. They had been quietly married three days after they had sat in his car parked beside their fairyland-like ‘pond. Afterward. Hayes bought the Porter homestead and had Mrs. Porter sent away for treatment under the best available physicians. Now that lady had re- turned and was fast on the way to recovery. During those three months, Hayes all but walked in air. He owned a good business and a cozy home. Above all, his childhood sweetheart was his wife. Blessed with good health, Hayes was happy. And was Ruby Hayes happy? Yes. She had been happy from the moment he declared that he loved her. “Happy, dearest?” he asked over the noonday meal. He had noticed a dejected look in his wife's eyes. “Yes, you dear boy, very happy.” “But, girlie, you do look a little tired or something. You'd better let me hire some one to help you out. You're the mistress of this nest— not its slave.” “Dear. we have the laundry out and you're paying Mrs. Briggs to help out with the weekly cleaning. ‘That's enough. Don’t you want me to do anything? If I don’t have something to do, I'll get fat and you won't want me then. What do you want to hire now, a cook?” “Yes, and a butler and a chauf- feur,” he laughed. __ “You forgot my maid. What are you going to pay them with?” “But I'm going to take you for ay ride this evening. You look jad- “Oh, I'm all right,” she declared, then added, “and I don’t want to take you away from your business. ru drive myself if you insist on me go- ling.

His wife fol- Towed him to the door. “Honey, dinner, was fine,” he said, kissing her. “You're @ wonderful little cook and—something is worry- ing you, honey. Tell me what it is.” DISTURBING THOUGHTS - “Douglas, I shouldn’t bother you, but—er—I—"” She looked up at him. “Something seems to be—er— haunting me.” “Haunting you?” he frowned. «“J_—I—Douglas—" . “Withers? No!” “T—Yes!” “He's dead.” “I know, but I—he seems to be watching me.” “Honey, that’s all nonsense. You take a drive and try to forget it,” he said, sternly. “Ti try, Doug,” she promised. He kissed her again and left the house in a none too settled mood.

During the height of | the ‘rush, 2 car—Hayes’ own car drove itp to the curb in front of the sa- bon and Ruby scurried into the place like’a frightened bird. She paid attention to no one and took a seat in the far end of the place. ‘To those who spoke to her, she returned their greeting fitfully unconcerned, Hayes had noticed all this, but was too busy behind the counter to give her any attention. She sat in a dazed_mood, staring into nothingness. Whenever the screen door would slam, she would starts and glance that way, seem-~- ingly half expectant. ‘Hayes found time to glance at his watch. It was past six. She was late in coming for him. Something was wrong. ‘After a little the rush subsided and Hayes changed his coat, don- ned his hat and came over to her. “Honey, I’m. ready,” he informed her. “Enjoy yourself?” “Yes, I'm ready,” she said, rising, but not looking at him. A REVELATION _ They drove home in silence. Once inside the little bungalow she sank into a dining room chair in a com- pletely exhausted abstracted fash- ion.

The Woman's Tonic By JAMES WALDO IVY Claude McKay in a letter dated the 20th of May, 1928, wrote: "I am working hard on the second one novel, which is about the life of Negro boys on the beach here, as I have seen and lived it myself." Now a copy of his second novel has come into my hands: "Banjo (a story without a plot)" by Claude McKay, Harper and Bros. $2.50. It is written with the same stark realism of Home to Harlem"; has the same throbbing, pulsating life; evokes the same magic and beauty of spirituality out of things plain. It is a better book, a greater book than "Home to Now for the story of the book. It is sunlight-simple: the story of Lincoln Agrippa Daily, "familiarly known as Banjo." Banjo is an American singer, the ordinary, fun-loving, semi-iterate, sharp-brained fellow familiar to most of us. He is stranded in Marseilles, the man's paradise. But he has music in his soul, a jaunty carefree attitude toward life, and an irrespassible humour. And with his banjo from whence he gets his nickname) he adds color and gaiety and a purpose to the sordid lives of the pan-landers, beachcombers, tots, coconates, and patrones, who go to make inhabitants of the "Ditch." life is the center of a little group. English-speaking Negroes, but there are others. Negroes speak the civilized tongues. Negroes speaking all the African dialects, such as Negroes, brown Negroes, yellow Negroes.

What interests me in the story more than anything else is the reaction of Ray, the Haitian of "Home to Harlem," to the European scene. Banjo and Ray are in reality Claude himself. D.C. Society Since Ray is McKay, one half of McKay, Kay's opinions of Negro society in America may be given as McKay's opinions. "They say you find the best Negro in Washington. When I was there the government clerks and school-teachers and the wives of the few professional men formed a group and called themselves the 'Upper Class. They were nearly all between your complexion and near-white; the women wore rich clothes and I don't know whether it was that or their complexions or their teaching or clerking ability that put them in the 'upper class.' In my home we had an upper class of Negroes, but it had money and property and power. It wasn't just a moving-picture imitation. School teachers and clerks didn't make any ridiculous pretenses of belonging to it. I could write about the society of Negroes you mean if I wrote a farce. !"Gee! I remember when I was That Pain!

There was hardly one of them with the upper-class bug on the brain who didn't have a near relative—a brother or sister—who was an ignorant chauffeur, butler, or maid, or a mother paying their way through college with her washtub.

By Captain Harry Dean, assisted by Sterling North. Published by Houghton Mifflin Co., New York, 262 pp Price $3.50 Of the union of Susan Cuffee, descendant of Paul Cuffee, noted Negro seafarer, and John Dean, Captain. Harry Dean, the author, was born N.vember 20, 1864. This is the conclusion of the first chapter of one of the most magnificent and interesting auto-biographies received by this department. Here is a book that clutches the reader's interest from beginning to end. It tells of the adventurous life of a courageous descendant of a long line of African kings. Some of his adventures among barbarous peoples are so gripping and startling that the reader finds himself almost in the midst of the real situation. Striking and even gruesome incidents are related of how the author attempted to build a Black empire in certain portions of Africa. Captain Dean tells of his wanderings in the utmost corners of the earth.

Bridge Club. Week's Big Social Card Against an artistic setting of canopied design and with dreamy waltzes alternating with medium and stimulating one steps, the W. W. Bridge club delighted social Baltimore with a formal dance at the beautiful Elks' hall Friday night which has been the topic of conversation throughout the city for the week. Varied colored crepe paper draped from the four walls to a center support gave the impression of a desert sand tent and the orchestra played from behind a retreat of paper curtain across which the name of the club was shown in gold lettering. Plenty of refreshing punch, an almost ideal evening and an unusually jolly spirit of the guests made the evening one long to be remembered. The gowns were excellent and sitting on the side lines watching the graceful performance of both youth and age. was almost an enjoyable as taking part in the dance, itself. The members of the club, however, had arranged that few would get the pleasure of enjoying a dance from the side lines as the men and women were almost equally divided and the busy hostess did the rest. There were the usual number of out of town guests, and among those present were: Joseph Mason Leon Williams J. Clarence Chambers Wm. Marshall William McAbee Ed Thompson Geo. B.

FOR SUPPORT Columbia Phonograph Company Central Figure Paul Whiteman Signs Contract for $500,00, Others Follow Activity on the part of large motion picture corporations since the advent of the "talkies" indicates the present trend toward musical screen presentations, as a new era in the motion picture industry. This opens a new field to musical comedy stars, comedians, popular singers and dance orchestras. This new development in motion picture entertainment necessitates acquisition of artists who have attained a wide public popularity in the popular music world. The film corporations unable to recruit these performers from their present rank, have turned their attention to the phonograph companies for support in this new field of musical entertainment. Most prominent among the phonograph companies entered in these negotiations is the Columbia Phonograph company, who have established themselves as the largest company in the phonograph industry throut the world and whose wide galaxy of recording artists represent the most deversified and most prominent assemblage of artists in the popular music field today. Mr. H. C. Cox, president of the Columbia Phonograph Co., announced today that contracts for talking pictures have been completed by the following Columbia recording artists, Paul Whiteman, Ted Lewis, Moran & Mack, Ruth Etting, Cliff Edwards and Fred Rich and his orchestra. Paul Whiteman has signed a contract to star for the Universal Film corpation at a guarantee of $500,-000, plus a liberal percentage of profits. Whiteman's advent into the motion picture field calls for a super-special synchronized sound production entitled, "The King of Jazz." The picture will be constructed around the life of Whiteman.

HOW TO KEEP WELL There are two processes continually taking place in your body. One is the building up of your BONE, BLOOD, NERVE and TISSUE, the other is the carrying off of the waste matter and impurities. For every ounce of food you eat or liquid you drink, there is almost an ounce of waste matter that should be eliminated by the way of your KIDNEYS and BOWELS. If your LIVER and KIDNEYS fail to do their duty, portions of this waste matter remain in your stomach and intestines where they ferment, sour and decay, causing INDIGESTION, SOUR STOMACH, KIDNEY TROUBLE, etc. These impurities are also taken up by your blood and carried to all parts of your system, causing a general run-dog condition and IMPURE BLOOD. The surest way to keep well is to keep your liver and kidneys active, your bowels regular, your blood pure and your system clean. There is no better medicine for this purpose than Spicer's Nux-Herbs and Iron. It is a laxative diuretic and tonic of proven merit, a medicine that acts directly on your liver, kidneys, bowels and blood. It starts to work from the very first dose, does the work surely safely and quickly. Works the cold, bile, filth, malaria and impurities from your system in a surprising manner, without gripe or pain, purifies your blood, clears your complexion and builds you up all over. Makes you eat better, sleep better, work better, look better and feel better. If you are weak, nervous and run-down, have that tired, worn out feeling and subject to sick spells you should start taking Nux-Herbs and Iron today. The very first few doses will give you a vim, vigor and vitality such as you have not known in years. It is not a temporary stimulant but is a lasting tonic and system builder. You may eat or drink anything you wish while taking Nux-Herbs and Iron. It is good for both men and women. If you are tired taking medicines and paying doctor bills, get a bottle today, if it doesn't prove to be worth ten times the price you paid for it, return the empty bottle and your money will be refunded at once, without a question. What more could we offer? WARNING—Owing to the remarkable popularity and great demand for Nux-Herbs and Iron, there are naturally many imitations on the market today, so when buying always ask for SPICER'S Nux-Herbs and Iron, and look for the name Spicer's on the label, just as you see it written below. The price for 12-ounce bottle is only one dollar, you can procure from practically any Art-class drug store but should your druggist be unable to supply you with the genuine, just send your order direct to The Pelvo Medicine Co. Dept. D, Memphis, Tenn. All orders are filled same day received and sent by insured parcel post.

Towson Officers. | Following testimony by 2 nine- year-old white girl that she bad gone into a shed at his behest and that he had criminally abused her, Horace Branch, Towson laborer, was sentenced to ten years in the Maryland Peni- tentiary. The case. which was brought on a change 2f venue from Towson, was tried before judges Stein, O’Dunne and Owens, an? Warner T. Mc- Guinn, attorney, selected by the court to defend Branch, was as- sisted by William H. Laurence, white, selected by Baltimore County. “Confession” Ruted Out A confession, said to have been taken by Towson police, was ruled out after evidence showed that the accused man was intimidated by lo- cal authorities. Cross examination of Towson policemen “rought out the fact that State’s Attorney Courtney Jenifer told Branch that he did not Ae Negroes and would like to hang him. : Girl’s Story The nins-year-old white girl, who is the daughter of 2 Towson physi- cian. testified that on the afternoon of the alleged attack, she and other children were playing near where Branch was trimming a pole at the New Calvary Baptist Church. She remained after her companions left for home and asked the accused conld she help him trim the pole. Ther2 was some conversation. she said, during which Branch asked her to “iss him. Later he asked her to go into a shed nearby and remain until he came in. This, she testified. she did. It was at this time that the alleged assault oc- curred. She Went Home Under cross examination the girl testified that after the affair, she went home and read a book a shile. Later she took a bath and became uncomfortable. It was then that her parents became aware of her condi- tion. ~ Her father, ‘a physician, ex- amined her and called in another physician. She fhen implicated Branch.

Lexington street, was held for court after ar- raignment in the Northwestern Po- lice Station, Saturday. ——0-—— Joseph H. Rainey, of South Caro- lina, sat in Congress five times. . How. Towson police officers go into colored homes and search at any hour of the night without warrant was revealed in the officers’ own testimony during the trial of Horace Branch for an alleged assault on a waite girl, in Criminal Court, Fri- ay. “Do you mean to tell me that you go into a man's home and search without authority of a warrant?" propounded Judge Owens to a police sergeant on the stand, “Yes, siz, Your Honor—I was car- rying out orders,” the officer an- swered apprehensively. Sergeant Baker wes in a recital of his capture of Branch. He and a posse of his deputies, he said, went to Branch’s home several times on the night of the alleged assault and searched the house, finding ne one there butBranch’s wife, who was in bed each -time they went there.” SAYS PAUL “PASSED” FOR RACE ADVANTAGE Took Name of “Saul” to Reap Advantage of Roman Citi- zenship. . | CONTRASTS SLIGHT | Says Great Scholar and Christ Had Similar Views. That the Apostie Paul changed his name from Saul to Paul to take advantage of the Roman cit- izenship was an allegation made by the Rev. J. G. Martin in a paper read before the A.M.E. preachers’ meeting, Monday. The Rev. Mr. Martin discussing “Apparent Contradictions in ths Teachings of Jesus and St. Paul,” called attention to the fact that Saul was a Hebrew name, while Paul of Tarsus, was Roman. _ ‘The name of Paul gave him access into the Roman and Gentile world, declared the Rev. Mr. Martin. Profound Conviction The preaching of Paul produced a profound conviction, second only to that of Jesus Christ, himself. . “To my mind,’ said the essayist, contradictions :n. their teachings wer2 too slight to be of any significance.” Among the principles set forth by Paul were “that there is one God. infinite in his moral perfection as well as in his power and wisdom who sustained to mankind relations of a father to his children. “That the human soul is immortal and that in the future life there is a state both cf reward and punish- ment which will be administered to the subject; “That true religion consists of love toward God and man.” The paver was C’scussed bv the Rev. George F, Bragg, Jr. the Rev. J. Ww. Norris, the Rev J. E. Lee. the Rev. J. T. Colbert and the Rev. FP. L. Hertzfeldt.

When asked by the Court how was it they were seeking to arrest a man without knowing what he was charged with they said that they were obeying or- ers. ‘Sergeant Baker told how he finally found Branch at a house in a_vill- age two miles'from Towson. When he, under cross examination, repeated how he ordered the mar. of the house to turn him in and how he and his men found Branch on the second floor in a back room. handcuffed him and placec him in an automo- bile, not only without having a war- rant, but without knowing what_he was arresting the man for, Judge Ow- ens sprang forward in his seat and propounded the question.
