Co. —Page 7 UNFROCKED RECOMMENDS JAIL FOR SOCIETY FOLK COSTUMED Movies of Party Would Lead to Several Divorces, Says Rev. R. W. Brooks. MEN WORE PAJAMAS WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of the Lincoln Temple Memorial Congregational church, in his "Mother's Day" sermon last Sunday, deplored the lack of moral standards among both men and women of today and severely censured dances given here recently. His criticism came as a climax to his remarks on the moral tendencies of to-day. He stated his belief in a single standard of morality for men and women. He declared, however, that he preferred the double standard to present moral tendencies. Certain social affairs that have been given here recently, he said, justified his condemnation of the lack of moral standards among both men and women. "It there had been a moving plea made of the scenes enacted at a social affair that took, place here last Friday evening," he stated, "on Monday morning there would have been several vacancies in the public several divorce cases filed in the local courts, and Harry F. Sindler would have had more company in the District jail." "What Good Are We? One dance held last night night the costumes were We? club's usual costume party at the Lincoln Glenade.

Here we discussed the matter of the convention coming to New York and the grant he would call it elsewhere and that every lodge that came to New York would be suspended. He added that he would' set up ladders in each city where a lodge had been suspended and give the new lodge the name of the suspension. "Having the interest of the order at heart, we gave him with Wilson, an own pocket with him $1,000 out of our pocket with the understanding that he would see to it that the convention came to New York.

AIIAN PATENT OFFICE ON MERIT FILET ARTICLES 20 The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 18, 1929 Sun-Tanned Nordics are Barred from D.C. Hotel Prominent Washingtonians Find Difficulty in Getting Seats in Dining Room. WASHINGTON, D. C. (GNS)—The new sun tan vogue is becoming increasingly embarrassing to smart Washingtonians of the diplomatic and congressional circles, whose social standing has been unquestioned for centuries. It is reported that on one occasion merely a group of Nordics in their swarthy make-up, were refused service in the dining room of one of the most exclusive hotels of the city. The party arrived late from the Pimlico races and were met by the head waiter who failed to recognize them. Mistaking the smart sun-tanned make-up of the ladies and their Nordic escorts for a "mixed" group foisting themselves upon the management, he assured them that the dining room was "fall" and that the score of tables which were vazant at this late hour were "all reserved." The host, a congressman from the Canadian line, stepped forward to see what was the trouble. As a guest in the hotel for four weeks, he was seated immediately, only to be reminded apolitically of the rule of the management that "colored" people may be served in the guests' rooms. CONGRESSMAN EXPLoded. Whereupon the congressman expelled a little blonde and a "DAR. ling" of no small standing, who upon this occasion could hardly have made the grade as a "highbrown" went into the audience, the disturbance, caught a sock that was intended for the insulting head watter. And that was that. Similarly the剧院 and shops are experiencing difficulty in determining the exact degree of deference to bestow upon the once fair ladies.

Teigg Tells Mother's Day Congrega- tion, Still Needed at Home. CHURCH FINANCES Pastors Should be Freed of Money Raising Burden. ,, The best place for the mother is still in the home, the Rev. C. ¥. Trigg told his Mothers’ Day. eongregation in a crowded churcle Sunday. “God has ordained it, and _ no mother can truly round ‘out a suc- cessful life who shirks the responsi- bility.” said the pastor. "The tie between the mother and child is not secured by the fact of flesh and blood, but through the magnetism of Jove—an attribute of God. A mother's Jove has often accomplished what police and biackiteks “failed to do. for even case-hardened criminals are helpless when showered with mother’s love. Shouldn't Slave Tt is a mistake to presume that mothers should slave for their chil- dren, while the offspring grow up in idleness and ease. Mothers _ who make slaves of themselves should not be suprised at nor resent disrespeot of their humored children, for slaves usually get kicks, Make that child do some of the work while you rest: let. it taste of hardshp and responsi- bility.” oe : Church Finances’ * Speaking of chute finances, Dr. Trigg declared that he does not, be- lieve that ministers should be bur- dened with the financial affairs ot churches, and 0 declared on Sundiy morning last.” “The Bible specifically points out.” said the minister. “that such work is delegated to deacons. or other officials, and the prime reason why pastors are forced to burn up energy in planning campaigns for the rals- ing of funds, is because memb~~ fail in keeping their pledges and ob- ligations. How can the preacher continually teach of Heavenly thins: when the expenses of the church accumulate umet?” é ‘The minister also declared that. “I am one pastor who wil leave a church where there is no coopera- tion. and I will go a congregation one better by getting rid of it. rathe) than waltieg dor Ine relection.” 6 Published every Saturday* in The Afton-American Ballroom, 628 N.

In another paragraph of the letter he says that his company appreciates the business of Negro policy holders, which the Chicago Whip estimates at two million dollars a week. Here's a man who eats his bread by the grace of nickels and dimes Negroes give him, telling Negroes they are not good enough to work for him and for themselves. No such damnable insult would be offered to a group of people, except that Negroes and money barred from themselves secure and safe and the millions of dollars which they have accumulated through the progress and security of this nation to which Negroes have contributed their part from its beginning. Fiske's attitude is that of "the public be damned; we've got ours, now you Negroes (Fiske uses a little 'n') go to. On all of this the AFRO-AMERICAN has one or two ways to make. Of all we, set down the general proposition that the business which is too good to employ us is too good also to get our money. The Metropolitan is taking two millions of dollars from Negroes every week and laughing at what fools we are. People who spend money must not only see that they get their money's worth in what they buy, but they should also see to it that every purchase up to them a bigger chance to purchase. Out of the $2,000,000 which Negroes pay the Metropolitan, $666,000 every week goes into salaries of men like Fiske and from him on down to street collectors, janitors and doormen in the Metropolitan offices, all of whom, under the Fiske ruling, must be white. We do not believe that insurance companies with a jackass program like that of the Metropolitan are willing. They do not want us, for Fiske's letter and his jim crow offices throughout the country constitute evidence sufficient enough. The conclusion is evident. Too many insurance companies are willing to employ, as well as insure. Negroes. Cash in your policies with anti-Negro companies. Decline to treat with them. Above all else, stop paying them money. Find the company that is interested in your ability to earn as well as your ability to spend. You must do so adequately to pay it in politics. Fight it with your pocketbook, and impudent money-bags like Fisk will learn a needed lesson. Oscar Says In two addresses here Sunday, Mr. Oscar De-Priest, Chicago's representative in Congress, said in part: "Select as your leaders, individuals who are above the bread and butter line.

"When Republican were against us, we gave Democratic Mayor Dever a 6,000 majority; when he didn't make good, we snowed him under and voted for Mayor Thompson (Republican) by a 40,000 majority. "Don't let anybody fool you with the talk that the office sees the man. I'm in Congress because I started early and enlisted the support and had to fight for everything. We got. My wife says I like nothing better than a fight. "I am opposed to separate schools because they do not allow an opportunity for interracial contacts. "Private institutions have a right to draw race and religious lines if they wish, but no one has a right to set up separate and exclusive institutions for the tax payers' funds. "Baltimore has more than one see you have separate schools here. You'll understand what I mean when I tell you Chicago has a Negro civil service commissioner, a Negro municipal judge elected in a city-wide contest, three hundred Negro school teachers, one hundred and fifty Negro policemen, detectives and firemen, Negro in the state legislature, one in the state senate, one in the state attorney, eleven hundred in the city post offices and nearly a thousand other municipal employees. "Chicago declares that the Negro is a full-fledged citizen and that he is the equal of every other citizen. We have no race inferiority complex. "I have no interest in the Y.M.C.A. Any institution, whose Christianity does not permit it to give other people what it wants for itself is a mighty poor example of the real thing. If the colored Y' were overcrowded today, I might get a cata in a white Y.M.C.A. I understand that Baltimore has to take that or nothing." "The young Negro is different from the old crowd. He'll not stand as much. He's not as docile. He's sure he's as good as anybody else. He's not easily fooled. In so far as the 'Y' is able to help youth, I'm for it. "I promised my friends that if they elected me to Congress, the first thing I did would be to eliminate cadets for West Point and Annapolis. Ive made good that pre-election promise. "Election to Congress has not swelled my head. I'll be Oscar DePriest after I'm no longer a Congressman. I'm still pleased if I can hear youngsters who know me, say 'There's Oscar DePriest.'" With good sentiments, the AFRO-AMERICAN he expressed itself from time to time in an entire agreement. They make it possible for us to welcome Mr. DePriest as full member of the AFRO clan.

And fight, although before us lies the grave. In Harlem, there you saw brown tired feet, Passing back and forward in the street, While in the cabarets the rhythmic notes. And bodies swaying the rhythmic notes. But there the things every one admires. And admires with all his fond desires. The love of nature, trees the birds and flowers.

Moton-Gardner Moton-Gardner Tuskegee Principal and North Carolina Governor Talk on Race Relations at Annual Meeting of Interracial Commission. (From Raleigh News and Observer) Race relations in North Carolina have reached the point where a complaint registered annual meeting of the State Interracial Commission here recently was that "things are too quiet for keeping up interest in local race commissions." "Give the Negro equality of opportunity and let's quit talking about social equality. The Negro doesn't want to be Moton, who often ideas that two races couldn't live together in peace and harmony, contending that they had done so for 400 years. "Give the Negro equality of opportunity and let's quit talking about social equality—the Negro doesn't want it." declared Negrosoft, so they faced faces couldn't live together in peace and harmony, contending that they had done so for 400 years. NOT COLOR. gap of opportunity and social equality—the Necro- cracies that were wiped out races couldn't live harmony, contending for 400 years. OLOR. NOT COLOR Dr. Moton said that it wasn't the white man's color that made him master of virtually the entire earth; it was coming to realize it, and that in its own development wouldn't change places with the white man and was happier without him except when he met them "the man inward to have around." SOCIAL EQUALITY "The question of social equality is too absurd for words. There is no inter-marriage problem—so why talk about it. The white man doesn't want it. The Negro man doesn't want it. The Mormon man, citing as a concrete example of what he meant by way of equality of opportunity, the throwing open of lands to cultivation by Negroes instead of bringing in foreigners, the northern common people—to their sorrow. Dr. Moton, successor to Booker T. W. Washington, was introduced by Governor Gardner as the Negro to whom, if a vote were taken among the delegates, he would be entitled to a title of "best loved Negro in the United States"; Reviewing racial relations in North Carolina in the course of his introduction of Dr. Moton Governor Gardner said, "I have always felt between the races in North Carolina in my mind is extraordinarily cordial I have always entertained, and I think the white people of the State of North Carolina generally feel that I am the best evidence of the public attitude of the North Carolina whites toward Negroes is manifested in the State policy of public education of the Negro race, and I call your attention." WHY NORTH CAROLINA LEADS. "North Carolina leads the South in what has been done for the Negro in public education. There are today over 282,000 Negro children in the public elementary and high schools, 190,000 public school property for the Negro was valued at $361,000. Now there is invested in school property used by the elementary and high school Negro children a total of more than $10,200,000. "There are 108 Negro high schools in the State, in which there are enrolled more than 10,000 children. In higher education, there are five public supported institutions for the Negro race in this State and the State has properly enrolled 10,000 students past ten years a grand total of $2,144,000 for these five institutions, and the General Assembly which has just adjourned made an appropriation for operation and maintenance for the next ten years for these institutions in the sum of $481,400. "I have only mentioned the State's contribution to the education of the Negro and have not referred to the great aid for Negro education by the great aid given to the Negroes of this State." I Told You So. L. K. McMillan, former instructor at Shaw University, Raleigh, N.C. was dismissed two years ago for making disclosures which the Shaw Alumni Committee only made public in their report last week—Eddie's Note. (An Open Letter) The Trustee Board of Shaw University, and the Board of Home Mission Society: Greetings! Something more than two years have passed now since my letter was addressed to you, pointing out some of the evils in Shaw which needed instant correction; course your reaction to them was quite the opposite; thing; you became mad, and through your secretary, Mr. Albron Hale Brainard, of Arlington, New Jersey, confirmed on April 27, 1927, my disgrace came from President Peacock on April 8, 1927. A paragraph in my letter read in this wise: "The following are the more obvious of the unnecessary but killing faults in the present administration, personnel, buildings and grounds, living conditions, Negro religious instructions, the theological department." With reference to personnel I named four immediate presidents, the dean of the theological department, the business manager and the dean of women. Jim-crowning and segregating of Negro teachers and unsightiness and general decay of buildings were among the conditions which I invited to discuss in the last two years. I have watched with interest developments in the past two years. The dean of women did not return the following year. Jim-crowning in dinners and lectures, and in a Federal investigators recommended the following year that Shaw close down her theological department because of a lack of instructors, students, program and just about everything else. I have discussed the reasons why we have dismissed the business manager for the very reasons that I suggested his dismissal: ignorance, meanness, crackerishness and neglect of duty—allowing the buildings to fall to pieces—but Shaw has not done so. This following is a sentence from my letter: "The meantime the buildings are falling to pieces, the bath rooms in the men's building are fifty-, sixty-, seventy- and eighty percent other day in this wise." Eighteen window pans broken in Tupper Memorial building. Rapid decay in medical building. Porch on hospital building falling, because of rotten pillars.

Since the program which I suggested has met with such general approval I am sure that you do not do a constructive piece of work that it includes. You must investigate what you mean business you will investigate conditions at Shaw; begin to build a real live school building; call MEN at its HEAD and answering calls made here in North Carolina and elsewhere." Something was and is wrong at Shaw-I told you so. LEWIS K. McMILLAN. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 18, 1929 Russian Grand Duke Leaves Colored Wife Countess Torby, descendent of Negro poet and black general. Earl Grey, English noble, weds Hottentot woman in South Africa. Counting back twenty generations every person has had over one million ancestors, says Rogers, proving how black and white races have always mixed. Bv J A BOGERS PARIS, France—The recent death of the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, cousin of the late Czar, recalls a fact that will be of particular interest to Americans. If he had lived in France, he might have married Countess Toryc could not have taken place. The Virginia law provides that a white person must marry only one who has "no trace whatsoever of any blood other than Caucasian." He is not the only person of mind which still believes that there is such a thing as "Caucasian blood," "Negro blood," and the like; it is only this type of mind, which, by the way, includes its echoes among those who are not known at this late day that what is known as racial strain is not confined to the blood but is diffused over the whole body. But passing over this we get down to the impertinent fact that the blood to Virginia law, would be a Negro. Her Negro ancestry can be clearly traced. Here is the story. PARIS, France - The recent death of the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, cousin of the late Czar, recalls a fact that will be of particular interest to Americans. If he had lived in a state like Virginia his marriage to the Count Torby can be seen as evidence that he provides that a white person must marry only one who has "no trace whatsoever of any blood other than Caucasian." Of course it is only the Southern type of mind which still believes that there is such a thing as 'Causesian blood' or 'Negro blood' in the mind, by way, includes its *echoes* among so-called the Negroes, that does not know at this late day that what is known as racial strain is not confined to the blood but is confined to the mind, this is how get down to the important fact: the Grand Duchess Michael, according to Virginia law, would be a Negro. Her Negro ancestry can be clearly traced. Slave Stolen Some 250 years ago a Russian officer on a visit to Constantinople saw a young Negro in a school he so impressed, and he gifted him away he took him to Peter the Great of Russia. Peter the Great, in turn, took such a fancy to the Negro as to bestow him in the best schools in France, and on his return to Russia, made him an officer of his Imperial Guard. Later this Negro rose to be general of the army, and left vast property, which included 3,500 slaves better known as serfs, all white. Seven Children Hannibal, as he is better known, left seven children, the result of his marriage with a Russian countess. From one of these children deserved a special place in the life of his father of Russian literature, but the populariser of the Russian language, Before Pushkin, French was the language of the educated Rus- Hannibal, as he is better known, left seven children, the result of his marriage with a Rus- sian woman, and he succeeded Alexander Puskin, who was not only the father of Russian literature, but the populariser of the Russian language. Before Puskin, French was the language of the educated Russian. Morganatic Marriage Puskin, who on his father's side, was of noble ancestry—it was his mother who was descended from Hannibal—left a child or children. In time one of his descendants married the Grand Duke Alexander of Hesse. But since the king was not a monarch, and his wife was not, the union was what is known as a morganatic marriage. Of course just as in Virginia where white can only marry white but may marry only royalty, though it may combine. It was the case in the power of lower caste. It would be useless to say that only males are allowed to do this. Pushkin, who on his father's side, was of noble ancestry—it was his mother who was descended from Hannibal—left a child or children. In time one of his descendants married the Grand Duke Alexander of Hesse. But since the marriage was not, the union was what is known as a morganatic marriage. Of course just as in Virginia where white can only marry white but may live in concubinage with Negroes, so royalty may marry only royalty, though it may contract left-handed marriages with others of lower caste, and thus it may say that only males are allowed to do this. Lived Outside The Grand Duke Alexander left several children and one of his daughters, the Countess Tory, married the Grand Duke Michael as was not on the ground of Negra ancestry, but because of rank, and the Grand Duke lived with his wife, outside of Russia. From Hannibal, the Negro slave, has sprung the English royal family into the English royal family. This writer recalls that at the time of the marriage, the Sunday feature section of a well-known American discussion of the question, coal-black coal with kinky hair, thick lips, etc., might not yet be born into the English royal family. There is also a Prince Tory, and according to the Count Michael Tory, his children include the Count Michael Tory, and the Marchioness of Milford Haven. The Grand Duke Alexander left several children and one of his daughters, the Countess Torby, married the Grand Duke Michael as was the case with his father, not on the ground of Negro ancestry, but because of rank, and the Grand Duke lived with his wife, outside of Russia. From Hannibal, the Negro slave, has sprung the family firmly into the English royal family. This writer recalls that at the time of the marriage, the Sunday feature section of a well-known American journal, discussed the question of whether the family might have kept their children etc., might not yet be born into the English royal family. There is also a Prince Torby, and according to the European papers, the Grand Duke's children, the Grand Duke Torby, and the Marchioness of Milford Haven. All Slave Descendents Now with all this nobility and royalty descending from a Negro slave stolen from a harlem, the American white with his system of royalty based on skin-color—a color that he shares with the newly-shaved pork or a colored chicken—cuts to say the feast a ridiculous figure. Now with all this nobility and royalty descending from a Negro slave stolen from a harem the American white with his system of royalty based on skin-color—a color that he shares with a side of newly-shaved pork or a cold-storage chicken—cuts to say the least a ridiculous Pimps and Poets If European royalty with all its wealth, exclusiveness, and its hordes of henchmen cannot maintain a closed caste, how can an indiscriminate force, like white America of arch-bishops and archthieves, architects and arch-murders, of presidents, plims, and poets, philosophers, paupers and outcasts, of the poor, jackeys and luminaries, of bootleggers, bankers and barbers, ever hope to do so? If European royalty with all its wealth, exclusiveness, and its hordes of henchmen cannot maintain a closed castle, how can an indisputable other castle, such as the one so boldly like white America, arch-bishops and arch-thieves, architects and arch-murders, of presidents, plimps, and poets, philosophers, paupers and prostitutes, of lawyers and lunatics, of lackeys and luminaries, of bootleggers, bankers and barbers, of the nobility. Earl Grey and Hottentot New is this the only case of persons of Negro ancestry marrying into the nobility. I could not hold a dozen instances. Not so long ago, Earl Grey, a member of the oldest mobility of England, married a Hottentot woman in 1710. She was the last of all the castle systems invented by man whether they be based on color, rank, or religion. Now is this the only case of persons of Negro ancestry marrying into the mobility. I could have been a slave in the 18th ago, Earl Gray, a member of the oldest mobility of England, married a Hottentot woman in all the cases. The marriage is mightier than all the case systems involved in Negro ancestry, whether they be based on color, rank, or religion. Melting Pot Because of Pushkin's importance, it is easy to trace his descendants but think of the melting pot in America where few persons know even the ancestry of their grandfather. How then can the far greater part of Southerners know there, not some Anglo ancestor somewhere their line since they have been mixing with Negroes from a time ante-dating Hannibaloff? Because of Pushkin's importance, it is easy to trace his descendants but think of the melting pot in America where few persons know even the ancestry of their grandfather. How then can the far greater part of Southerners know that there is not some Negro ancestor somewhere in their line since they have been mixing Negroes from a time ante-dating Hammalibal? One Million Ancestors Each one has two parents, four grandparents, sixteen great-great grandparents; in ten generations, he has had 1,024 ancestors, and in twenty-five generations, he has had any white American of native stock say after this with any assurance that he has had no negro ancestor? And at this we do not take into consideration the fact that thousands of African ancestors pass into the so-called white race annually. Each one has two parents, four grandparents, sixteen great-great grandparents; in ten generations, he has had 1.024 ancestors, and in twenty five generations, he has had 1.024 ancestors. Can any white American of native stock say after this with any assurance that he has had no Negro ancestor? And at this we do not take into consideration the fact that thousands of Negro children pass into the so-called white race annually. Also can any so-called Negro boast that he has not had at least one white ancestor in twenty generations? Verily the man who talks about purity is either a lunatic or an ignorant. AT EVENTIDE At evening it shall be light, Though stormy be the day; And I shall take my silent flight From all my cares-away. No thought shall then disturb my peace, What er the day has been: For, with it all my troubles cease, And I will have rest cease. At eventide it shall be light, I need no anxious, I drown on no storms the night, There'll be no right for me. I well can stand the stormy blast That shakes my soul today; At eventide it shall be past, It shall have rolled away. At eventide it shall be light, The skies shall then be clear. And all the heavens shall be bright, And the sun shall shine. Then I shall slenderly set out Upon my light-strewn way. Free from all sorrow, pain and doubt, To realms of endless day. What though the raging winds now blow, What though the storm clouds rise At eventide a golden glow Of light shall fill my skies: I shall not hesitate to fling My heart away, And lift nine eyes up to my King, And see Him face to face. —R. E. FORD. Our thanks to Reader Ford, too. Whose Verse in these columns Brings Joy to Thousands of AFRO Readers. To the Editor: To the Editor: for returning to the old form. I like it better. It takes me back to the days of your esteemed father. After all, "the old way is the better way," no matter what some folks may say. ROBERT E. FORD. By KELLY MILLER The best definition which I have been able to devise of a Negro is anyone who would be jim-crowed in Virginia. More comprehensively, a Negro may be defined as someone who personifies or personifies all definitions. All definitions must be based upon common observation and acceptance. There can be no scientific or legal definition that will hold water. The judgment depends wholly upon individual observation. Blood composition cannot be definitely determined. The judge once stifles a person facing a popular thoroughfare, discoursing with a good friend of mine who empathetically declared that he was not a Negro. I engaged to impanel a jury of the first twelve men who passed away in evidence as exhibit "n," and submit the case without argument. Designations A good but sensitive lady friend of mine expressed the hope that the fact-finding conference at Durham did not brand its participants as Negroes, but it did. The Americans came the quick and self-satisfying reply. But, I insisted, Americans are divided into various groups with appropriate designations, for a multitude of reasons. We can characterize by the geographical location from which they were derived, such as the Italian, the Greek, and the German. Others are designated by cultural kinship, such as the Jew, the Catholics, the Muslims, the Jew, the Catholics, and race are connotative, as with the Chinese and the Japanese. The Afro-Americans, a century ago, preferred to be called "Africans," as witness the African Methodist Church, described by geographical names as the First African church of Philadelphia, or the Abyssinian church of New York. Such designations today would be more offensive to the fastidious than the detested term Ne- Inferiority Complex. A people with the inferiority complex are naturally sensitive. They may be easily distracted by which they are designated, missionary among the Japanese reports that they resent being called "darkey" story. The conference was questioned. The term has become almost as obprobus as the word "nigger." Firmly Fixed. The term Negro has become so firmly fixed in our language and expressions that one can hardly see how it can vary. It may be objected to. It is used by every writer and speaker, white and black, who uses the language powerfully and persuasively. It does not carry with it a necessities, also specified. It is necessary to use some descriptive term in order to separate the so-called Negro from the general body of American citizens. The race, so-called, constitutes most of the population, which people are divided. Various synonymic terms are in vogue; "colored" serves the purpose in some applications, "Afro-American" in others. At least one formal suggests the use of "race" men. All attempts to omit the word "Negro" from discussion of the problem which his presence constitutes is but a suggestion, in need of where to nowhere. In some applications the term is imperative to give forcefulness and meaning. How else would one describe the Negro Yearbook? The Journal of Negro History? I have heard serious and sincere persons express the belief that all of us are responsible for the fact that they were called "Negroes." Change the name and you improve the status. It is hard for me to respect this view although it is highly respectable people entertain it. It has ordinarily seemed to be a virtue while quite a few senilites race nomenclature. There used to be a floating saying in South Carolina—"You may call me what you please so we can talk." This of course implies that no insulting meaning is conveyed by the epithet. Legal Definition The several Southern states have their own legal definitions of a Negro. In most instances, it includes all persons of African descent to the sixteen-sixteens of African Blood. And yet there is found nowhere any exact blood tester to determine the prescribed proportion. Evidently it cannot be ascertained from the putative parents of the Negro population. It all depends upon guess work and haphazard. For many reasons, social and sociological, it is highly desirable that we be able to fix the racial placement of an individual in the civil and legal distinctions among American citizens should be based upon race and color. Just long as the states insist on imposing such invidious distinctions, just so long should the disadvantaged group embarrass the courts to fix a scientifically ascertained discriminant. Who is a Negro? How does the jury know but that any given person of color has the requisite quota of white blood? What right have the jury made as an unselfie train conductor a judge of ethnological values? To Supreme Court. I see that Mr. Louis Marshall has injected this troublesome query into the instance of segregation in a case now on its way to the Supreme Court. The court of last reintroduction abolished the protection. There is no possible excuse for the federal government to make race and color distinctions among colorations, the states with colorless white contigencies may feel that they have for setting up these distinctions, the general government is under no such pressure. The elecromobile industry has less than ten per cent of the total population. The federal government does not deal with ultimate civil society and person relations its citizens mainly with those broad and general features which apply to all alike. The federal government cannot afford to set up separate cars, separate buses, and separate for* the different racial varieties within its borders. In so doing, it stifles its high pretensions of the equal protection of the law, which protection of the law for all citizens. It will be interesting to watch the sparring match between Mr. Marshall and the supreme court over the issue of who is a Negro? I predict a skillful piece of Judicial dodging. Africans Say: An African Proverb Over exertion caused the death of the dove. (Take your time.) Hoover Worried Over Law Enforcement Commission "All Law" Investigation Stumbling Block to Securing Able Men; 14th and 15th Amendments Sure to Come Up. WASHINGTON—(GNS.)—The selection of members for the Law Enforcement Commission and problems connected with getting this investigation under way has caused President Hoyer more忙碌. In addition, other official task since his inauguration. So far, only one member of the Commission has been appointed. He is George W. Wickersham, New York lawyer, whose stand against the Jones law as an unfortunate piece of legislation which will not succeed in preventing the confidence of the bone-dry leaders who believed that none but "outstanding drys" would take part in the investigation, to he rudely shaken. "All Law" Problem The Commission which is to deliver in the case that law laws can be better enforced is not attracting men of the calibre that the President insists on. These men are busy with either private practice or public duties and find it impossible to serve on the investment commission for the next years which is planned for their activities. In Darker Baltimore By RALPH MATTHEWS For once much of the glitter and glamor that generally accompanies the advent of his honor, Mayor William F. Broening into the midst of a gathering of sepia hued vote casters, was dimmed almost into insignificence when he breezed into Royal theatre Sunday afternoon to make his presence felt at the Y. M.O.A. mass meeting. This was not an evidence that hissoner's popularity is on the wane or evidence that the Northwest dwellers will have to attend theatricals at the next mayoralty election, but was occasioned by the fact that the audience had already given itself unrestrained to an enthusiastic outburst and spared the audience by showwing a thunderous applause uplaunch upon the head and ears of Hon. Oscar O. DePriest, congressman from Illinois, but a few minutes before. Sunday at the Royal theater was really no place for home talent. Local dignitaries, in spite of frock coats, morning trousers and beaver hats, were forced to take a back seat to the crowd, celebrity who dared to wear his everyday clothes. Howard Gross, Walmer Emerson, George Watty and others who are quite some pumpkins around these parts, were merely seen and just what Baltimoreans thought of DePriest is a matter of conjecture. In lifting the collection, Dr. A. O. Reld impressed the auditors with the way he dollars to look upon a real "live, living" "nego congressman." That the audience had its own ideas about the value of such an attraction is shown by the gate receipts $131 and $1200 that were about 1200 spectators there, is estimated that each Baltimore thinks a Negro congressman is worth just a little over one candle. At night he better; 28 men subscribed $2,000. The audience was undoubtedly a DEpriest audience, however, and were it a ward meeting it would have gathered early and sat with their necks cramped toward the door with their eyes glowing with expectation. The priest was an early Priest was a man with white hair and everybody who came in with a streak of grey in their hair was applauded until he slunk into a seat of importance. They clapped for Harry Pratt, William Langley, Robert Coleman and some near-sighted person almost started a pandemic. The audience had made so many mistakes that they thought the management was trying to put something over on them and they examined the congressman critically the robe he left, themselves loose in his belief. The mayor left before the congressman spoke. After he had gone home, he met with the mayor, who they could elect anybody they wanted to office from the mayor on down. He told them how to form a political party, and he told them things. The mayor evidently anticipated this because, while he left himself, his secretary hinged on. He told them that he was carrying-on in local politics during the next few weeks. Those haughty ideas of Mr. DePriest cannot be allowed to germinate. Not in Baltimore. Week's Poem I MARRIED A WIFE Dr. CHAPLIN BEST I married a wife. It was no more trouble than hitching old our gray team up double. But which would pull, and which would bake. But it would pull, and which would bake. I married a wife. Twas a fortunate thing. For one or the other at our wedding. But which was lucky you never guess. For my lips are locked in silence. I married a wife, a merry jade, Cool and clever and unafraid. With carefulness they felt tongue—out or other, either we got stung. I married a wife according to law, The best housekeeper you ever saw, Always at work from morning till night—Dear God, 'twas a depressing sight!

In the meantime, the executive offices of the White House are being flooded daily with communications suggesting the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments and naming candidates for places on the Commission who will be interested in an investigation into the non-employee misuse of these Constitutional Amendments. It is expected that several other appointments will be made immediately. The announcement will be awaited with interest by colored members of the Senate, whom are vitally interested in the personnel of the fact-finding group. CHICAGO — Alderman Robert R. Jackson, City Councilman, has presided over the commission has passed and instructed to have submitted to President Hoover, and to each congressman and Senator from Illinois, urging them to cause the commission, when appointed, to include the nullification of the 14th amendments to its agenda of investigation. Pickens Travels Desperately Ill Woman Spends Hundreds Before Getting Berth in Dixie Pull- man. Theatre Burned for Having Sign, "For Colored Only." By WILLIAM PICKENS (ANP) In Fort Smith, Arkansas, a colored man's wife was ill. The doctors suddenly announced that she would have to be operated to save her life, and would have to be taken to Hot Springs for the operation. Then the painful process of trying to secure a drawing room was begun. The colored people did not dare ask for a simple section of berths. They were willing to pay for the drawing room. Then they rented a colored ticket agents and railway officers. Then in despair and terror the colored husband got on the long-distance 'phone for the headquarters of the railroad in St. Louis. He had to spend an enormous sum, living on this long-distance line till late into the night. The man, who happened also to be a human being, was helping him and 'phoning also. TURNED DOWN One official after the other in St. Louis turned them down. Finally, the battle was carried to the residence of the president of the road, and he himself and halked—but finally yielded and 'phoned the local agents in Fort Smith to let the colored people have the drawing-room; the accommodation had been furnished and died, suit for damages could lie against the railroad, if the colored people were able to pay for the prosecution.—because even the laws of Arkansas were not enforced, "although they do not mean it. AT LAST Some optimistic idiot will say: "Well, the colored people got the accommodation which was sought for, and the colored man who needs a berth can have a white Episcopalian clergyman fight with him, and waste a lot of time for him. The colored man not every can afford man whose wife is sick, can afford to spend several hundred dollars on long-distance calls to first the privilege of buying a ticket. THEATRE BURNED A Jim-Crowning is also a poor sport: it will not take its own medicine. It does not like to be done by the people of Worth Texas, the colored people built a theatre, and following the example of the white theatres, they announce the opening of a theatre only. White people are not admitted." The whites saw the announcement and gathered a mob and burned the theatre down. These whites showed what they really think of the justice of "Jim Crow." ETIQUET Q—Is it the duty of the hostess or the guest to suggest retiring? A—The hostess. B—Mannered to praise any member of your own family? A.—No; it is almost as ill-bred as praising yourself. Q.—Is it proper for women to wear gloves at a formal dinner? A.—Yes; they should be removed only at the table. LINOTYPE BIRTHDAYS Day by Day WM. N. JONES What Did the Fact Finding Conference Find? Until it has crystallized its discussions and based on down in systematic form, it may not be good taste to comment on the value of the last fact-finding conference. There is no doubt, however, that the premier is by the very idea of formulating a program based upon scientific and selection of policy and is a good one; and we hope it is a good formula, whatever it may be, will justify all hopes that the last Durham meeting has gotten us somewhere. From the published speeches, so far, however, we do not anticipate any long jump towards the formula. We do a definite racial program. No, the main idea coming forth will entail the magic word, "Cooperation." Since business men largely moted the affair this would be a logical outcome. Deep down, however, in the pendent minds of thousands of young men and women, there remain the race questions: WHERE WHAT? HOW? They don't want generalities. They want definite answers. They know they need them to fit into a scheme of development. They know they should save money; they don't be told that they should cooperate. THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT WILL BE THE PATE OF THEIR GREAT-GREAT GRAND-CHILDREN. WHAT JUST BE DONE NOW TO MAKE WHAT THEY ARE TO BE They want to know which of our present institutions—such as the church, the lodge, the social and economic structures—must be kept intact and want to know do leaders demand we shall go towards racial amalgamation or shall we develop a distinctive racial type? They want to know shall we, like the ones we instance, maintain our own culture and the cultural ideals of this or that group? They want to know shall we join in with the economic doctrine which shall level opportunities and the distribution of wealth and the distribution shall we join the group which believes in the present system of great wealth and power to a fortunate few and mediocre income for the millions? Young mothers need to know that we should be whether lighten or darken the pigment of their offspring. Young fathers must know these things to know whether they shall treat their children with power to tread over their fellows for coveted gold, or develop satisfaction with a simpler life. If you do not believe young men and women are thinking on these things take some of them into your heart and put them in their hearts and souls to you. Preparing for Some Unexpected Opportunity Just a few days ago the Baltimore Urban League was called up to supply highly trained physicians. The pliant had to be a college graduate with two years of special study or work in the social service field. A canvass of the city failed to release such persons because he that this agency must look elsewhere. The manager of a new project which has just set up an office in Baltimore advertised for a first class stenographer. He, too, is seeking outside applicants after trying in Baltimore. Some time ago this writer conferred with an employer of labor in Baltimore and called his attention to the fact that he did not employ colored people, that his products are largely used by colored people. He asked me whether I could supply him with enough efficiently trained young women to take on a complete deputy in the courage to go back to talk to him about it. We have a vast army of young men and women, competent and highly trained, so far as some callings are concerned, but few to fill the unexpected openings. It is altogether expedient and wise for young men and women to accept the best job they can get, however difficult it may be, should always endeavor to prepare for the unexpected opening. Any day may bring an unusual opportunity. The more things you are prepared to do, the wider your range of opportunity. With evening schools and the big universities giving extension courses, there is no place from which an young man or woman might rise to the mountain of life. Human Prejudice The far reaching consequences that result from human prejudice and ignorance at times have never been more vividly set forth than in a happening on a Baltimore street recently. Office district, saw Herbert White chauffeur, standing near a local hotel. To his watchful police eye a colored man standing in front of him, notwithstanding the fact that many colored chauffeurs so stand each and every day in Baltimore. But to Officer Cain, he looked like arower, and so he had to investigate. So far, he got to the chauffeur, who told him in a "white man English" that he had business reasons for being in that neighborhood, sounded like "sass to the dishearer and he arrested" him. Here was where racial prejudice and police ignorance began to get in their deadly work for. as a result of this police pidity, a few minutes later a Baltimore councilman had dropped It was Councilman Howard M. Rollins, who, remonstrating with the officer for needlessly arresting his chauffeur for waiting outside the hotel for him, overtaxed a weak heart. The dead officer was a political history of the State of Maryland. Baltimore has some of the best police officers in the world, and perhaps some of the worst. But included in this worst, there are none so bad as those who deliberately manifest rachel prejudice against the police duty. What an official prefers in his private life is his own business, but there can be only condemnation for officers of the law, sworn to uphold it, to desecrate the most fundamental law, the law which guarantees to all citizens, including the most humble of all races, the same treatment and respect. dD for Negroes, Sa ropolitan Ins.

TRIED COLORED GIRLS One Deserted, Other Ran Away With His Pal. New York.—"The three white* women who have honored me by marrying me, have been treated far better, far more kindly and lovingly, and with far more respect than thousands of white women who are married to white men." Thus speaks Jack Johnson this week in one of the series of articles published in the New York Evening Says Johnson: "The white girls who married me have loved me and I have loved and respected them. My experiences with girls of my own color were astonishing. One of them was struggling to become a champion and the other ran away with a friend I had invited to share our nome. The first was Mary Austin a playmate of mine in Galveston Texas, and the second was Clara Kerr, of whom I was Clara William Bryant, a trainer for the Cornelius Vanderbilt race stable after I had invited him to live at my home." Whether Johnson was married to these girls or not, he does not say He termed her a brave, courageous soul with superb loyalty to him. Her tragic end was one of the worst blows ever struck at him. Explaining how fine she was Johnson said that when Clara Kerr. TIGHT E THIS IAN, ALIVE! How this boy acts up when he's filed with white lightnin!

Johnson mother tried to break off the engagement. Johnson says he took his mother-in-law to his flancee and Your mother wishes to talk to you. Whatever she has to say to you will be your own good. Remember that she means more to you than any other person and that when all others have deserted you, your mother will look. Whatever she wishes you to do will be for your own well- your own good.

Johnson said he made no attempt to see his fiancée again, but when she persisted that she loved him, the mother swore out an adduction warrant which was dismissed in court. She was married to him to marry her and he did, and they lived 12 years happily together. She was at the scene of some of his greatest triumphs and until the day she secured a divorce from him she queued for Johnson. Johnson says she was a brave, lovely, honest woman, and says he will always with pride of the fact that he made her happy. Third Wife In his older age, he married Mrs. Irene Pineau in Chicago, four years ago. He says she has given him empathy, encouragement and woman can give a husband who is seeking to adjust himself to a quiet existence after years of basking in the spotlight. Johnson is far happier and in love with her than he ever been in all of his life. He never knew that this world contained a girl so wonderful. He ends by saying, "The lionized champion of the world, to her I am the title holder and to me she is the world's champion wife." Mrs. Johnson Talks. Mrs. Irene Talks. the third wife, declares that Jack is an ideal husband and man. "Since our marriage four years ago," she declares, "our love for each other is everything. It is everything he possibly could be loving, considerate to the smallest detail, thoughtful, generous, loyal and kind." To any people who might be skeptical of such a mixed marriage, me say here that there could not be a man of any race more worthy of my love and respect, than my husband. "It took him to show what real love and a real home could be, and he made me feel like my friends and acquaintances. I can exaggeration that none can boast of a more harmonious home than ours without fear of contradiction or own Mrs. Johnson does not urge such a marriage as theirs in ninety-nine problems of race cannot be lightly solved and harmoniously adjusted. The cites, however, their marriage is not so bad, despite all the obvious handicaps under which it started. "I do know that Jack Johnson has my own skills, the same task proved too much for a man of my own race and color." 串 Shining bright in the theatrical firmament is Alma Travis (right), soubret of the "Fidigity Feet" company at the Royal theatre last week.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 18, 1929 POLICE COMPANION of "Fatty" Arbuckle. NEW YOEK.—(ANP.)—Pollice are interested in the whereabouts of Alice Forsyth, maid in the Hotel Mansfield Hall in West 50th street. The young woman is wanted for questioning in the matter of the death of Mrs. Helen Coburg, white, wife of a New York policeman. In the most sensational case New York has heard for sometime, details of the grusome case are beginning to leak out. Mrs. Coburg accompanied another New York policeman to the hotel where discovered in one rooms, fully furnished in a dying condition by the maid. It is said that her case parallels that of "Fatty" Arbuckle and John Browne, both some years ago.

ADMISSION FREE Bill to Put Teeth in State Civil Rights Act, Now in Legislature. CHICAGO.—A measure to put real teeth in the Illinois State Civil Rights act and bring about the pledged affirmative action priming on account of race or color, has been introduced in the State legislature by Representative Harris B. Gaines of the First Chicago District. The new measure by Mr. Gaines is intended to have the nature of an enforcement act. The present state constitution makes public discrimination based on race or color on the left to the aggrieved individual. White firms that have been sued have been taking jury trials and getting away unsecured by a law, enforcement responsibility for the civil rights law will be placed directly upon the law officers of the state—the state's attorneys, the judge, and the law firm that will become mandatory for them to act and if the state's attorney declines to interest himself, the injured citizen may secure a writ of mandamus against that official, compulsory action, or, cr go to the attorney general. Also included in the Gaines' Bill is a provision similar to that under the Volstead Act whereby the state, or the individual, by showing cause, may have an injunction issued against an offending establishment, or a defendant in a law against discrimination. Or the aggrieved citizen may take his case into a chancery court, thereby escaping not merely the indifference of a white jury, but the restricted prosession possible in the ordinary courts. Within the last few months colored citizens have lost a number of important cases under the state civil law. On one occasion a restaurant in a building in a city was occupied largely by colored lawyers escaped punishment after refusing to serve some of the tenants of the building. The restaurant proprietor not only got off without any penalty, but the tenants also noticed a notice on all the colored tenants that they would have to move. One of those tenants was Alderman Louis B. Anderson of the Second Ward. This order on the part of the owner of the building, who has been made of reprisal in the interest of the cafe proprietor.

It is the claim of the defense in the Bullock case that the child is the wife of Davis, for whom he was named. Davis is the father of the child, but the wife that she had relations with Davis for the specific purpose of making Davis marry her to be a mother. It later developed that Davis is married. The action against the Rev. Bullock was started a few weeks after the baby was born. Held by At the trial, the pastor was acquitted, former Solicitor Davis forced him, while on the stand, to hold the baby which Miss Evans said he was the father of. This was done by the judge to close resemblance between the ness and the infant and matched noses, arms, hands, forehead and every form and feature, the minister kept an impermutable calm, answering the sallies of a master funmaker of the manners, dignity and keen. Another tense moment came when Rev. Mr. Bullock's wife produced letters from Lady Nancy Aster and Jean, the children of the childhood days of Mrs. Bullock and the famous Virginia woman. Mrs. Bullock stated she was reared in Virginia and that her mother was for many years a maid in the house of Mrs. W. H. Jones, sister of Lady Astor's mother the manslaughtering the maid in the laundry and there the Langhorne girls and she would play.

Randolph Edmonds' MASONIC BAND --- White Director Showers Race Actors With Abuse Following Money Squabble. PLAY DRAWING CROWDS NEW YORK—(Special)—Following closely upon the uphens of a salary dispute which some weeks ago threatened to disrupt the play on New York's racecourt, the play packed houses at the Times Square theatre here, closed Saturday, after Chester Erskine, white, director of the play, had delivered a scathing denunciation of the play said to have referred to as a "no good and crafty bunch of nigers." Some of the players report that since the opening of the vehicle there has been a lot of work. When the company opened out of town, it is alleged that the three white men responsible for the production, Messrs. Erskine, Blatt and Sarcok, tried to sign the ensemble for the play. This sum is said to have brought the cast an $13 weekly salary, with Isabelle Washington, leading lady, reported to be drawing $75 weekly. The members of the cast are said to have been promised a raise as soon as business warranted, but when the box office receipts began to mount, the promised raise was not forthcoming, and the calling attention to the fact that the salaries had remained stationary, was not answered, the entire "mob" in the rent party scene refused to go on at one of the performances and the producers rushed in as substitution, and the pany who were then rehearsing in a nearby theatre. Raise Ensemble, Cut Stars A tentative agreement was reached and the members of the original company were invited to the next act. Salaries were later raised to $25 a week for the ensemble; but in order to meet this, the salaries of the principals were cut from $10 to $15 per week. Members of the cast became more incensed when it was discovered that Isabelle Washington, the star, was not given the "star" dressing room, the room being given instead to Arlene, the actress of the cast, who played the minor role of "Detective Sergeant." Dr. Ardelle Dabney and her daughter, Melvina, both very good in their parts, were removed from the company as a result of the demand for more money, and Hedmins Wintfield, who was the manager, was demolied to the ensemble because it was felt that he had sympathized with the strikers. In the group which Erskine referred to as "no good niggers" are, Inez Cough, Lillian Fairley, wife of Henry Creamer, Edna Barrly, Billy Andrews, Ernest Whitman and many others. Beltel intends to bring the second company to New York to continue the run. Pittsburgh Theatres PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Ai Cohan's presentation of "Gee Whiz" at the Elmore theatre last week. Alice Ramsey, blues singer, is featured in the play, which will be well-filled houses every night this week, including the usual matinees. The comedians, Geechie Haywood and Boyton Webb, were amusing while the song and dance numbers were performed, son, former leading lady with "Darktown Follies," were quite a hit of the production. The tap dancing of "Cutout" Ellis, was also pleasing. The work of George Grass as straight men, should also be mentioned. Commencing Monday, May 13, the intimidable pair, "Butterbeans and Suse," will be performed at the Elmore theatre, with a snappy company of pretty chorines and striking scenery. NEW YORK K- Stepin Fetchit, who created a sensation by his acting in "Hearts in Dixie" and "The Ghost Behind the Sheet," has yet to appear in a production called, "Salute." George O'Brien and Helen Chandler are the featured players. Some of the scenes will be made in Annapolis, Md.

These golden voiced singers were generous in their offerings and boasted the most of the old time favorites, as well as some that were not quite so familiar. Forbes Randolph, the producer he co-created, presentation into what the calls four dramatic intervals. The curtain rises on a levee scene, the second act shows a spot on a plantation, the third brings a dug-out in France, and the fourth is labelled "At the Present Time." Among the numbers that stirred were "Ezekiel Saw 'de Wheel," wasn't dat a Wide Huber? "Deep Blind Steady" and "Roll Joll. Roll." "Hallelujah" Star Overcome by Work LOS ANGELES (ANP) — A program from early morning till midnight of strenuous acting before the cameras, proved too much for Miss Jillian, who was the star of *Halleluah*, and in the midst of a song, she suddenly fell headlong in a faint at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. She had been passed by retaking one of the camp meeting scenes with hours in the hot spring sun. At seven that night the action began in a close, smoke-fired cabaret scene, with rehearsal after rehearsal, and the repetition of her theme song in that scene, apparently getting a lot of fun out of it herself. It was not realized by others in that scene, and even her mother, who sat by as Nina smilingly whirled through her action, failed to sense how near she was to the breaking point till she came. Directors and actors rushed to her and picking her up carried her to the outside air and all further action was postponed for the night. This retake was made necessary after dissatisfaction was expressed with a preview shown at the Hollywood Theatre.

Stage Review "Honey" There is a sweet taste left in your mouth after viewing "Honey" which graces the amusement bill-of-fare at the Royal Theatre, this week, though we must confess that all of the show is not so saccharine. Of course there is plenty of comedy with John Larue and Bootsy Swan corking it to you and with Geo. Cooper, Jr., the straight man, and partner of Larue, strutting and giggling about. Ossie McPherson, with one of those, "you've got to bring it" personalities, entertained the customers with song and monolog, letting out a few domestic secrets in the latter.

PRODUCERS DECRY THEATRE MONOPOLY NEW YORK (ANP) — Following the acquisition of the Lincoln Theater by the Frank Schiffman interests, the announcement of the new movie takes over the three movie houses in Harlem, the Rosevelt, Douglas and Odeon, brought gloom to New York theatrical followers. The one-man control of the theatrical situation in Gotham brings about a stagnation from which the profession will surely suffer. This leaves two houses in Harlem, two of consequence. They are the Gotham, the Renaissance, a movie house, and the Alhambra, a combined, vaudeville, drama, movie house. Not only will this bring about a stagnation of the profession in New York, but it will discourage the production of new shows and allow this firm to dominate the theatrical field in the largest colored city in the Producers who want to offer new shows at the Lafayette or Lincoln Square, where they work, and his terms are of such a nature that and forgets about his show. The producer wants for the film and other little items like this tend to discourage the new talent which he interests. The producer shows. With no competition, the Schiffman interests will net a fortune in a short while in New York, barring all other competitions which would have given him advantage.

JOLLEY IT'S NOT ETHICAL The recent black and tan music battle of ten bands was a great disappointment to the many patrons who attended. As advertised, there were white and colored bands competing against each other for honors, but not as many as the press agents had declared there would be. A count of the orchestras that played showed there were six, three white and three black, which outstanding combinations were those of like Dixon's Jazz Aces and Percy Glasseco's Plantation Orchestra. These two orchestras furnished music which was held at the New Albert, last week. The promoters should not advertise that there will be more orchestras than they intend to have, as it may cause a dancing hall to be a pleasing sight: a big affair is advertised; besides, according to good advertising methods, it is not ethical. MANY DANCES SCHEDULED Many feature dances are to be given, according to reports, before the summer season, when twilight excursions and other outings begin. The dances, which are to be held in the Peak Hotel, Pythian Castle and the New Elks Hall at 1114 Madison avenue will be advertised. SATURDAY CLASSES IMPROVED Well, the Saturday night classes at Odd Fellows, Elks Hall and the Pythian Castle, are drawing large crowds, and each hall has its following. At the Elks, there are many entrances to the St. Mary and Pythian Castle in yesterdays. At the Odd Fellows, there is the younger crowd, who spend half their time doing the "wampus," the newest dance craze. And then last, but not least, is the Pythian Castle, where many of Baltimore's society girls can be seen tipping a larger hat at Reggae Hamer's Chiu Alabam Orchestra. Well, select your hall and try it one Saturday night. Fight Segregation Move in St. Louis ST. LOUIS, Mo.—(ANP)—A battle against the efforts of white property owners to prevent Negroes from owning, or occupying, their homes and businesses, but brittle blackhoods" was launched here Tuesday when Attorney Homer Phillips, representing James T.

With a snarl he turned about, his eyes bloodshot with rage, and leaped toward the detectives swinging the bright blade. THE BROKING MURDER Br WALTER GLASTON (continued from Last Week) WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE opерация снаправа captain and shipping magician is found a headless corpse in his apartment. Welling, his beautiful brown suit is bored at the discovery, and admits the poison the themselves, completely by the most gruesome and faintest murder ever perpetrated in San Francisco ("the dawn"). Darrington, a normally known race detective, reads the case and the police department. His visit is at first doubled but the brittle of his record and the utter helpfulness of the chief of police, Corrigan, to assist his aid. Darrington is deputized and immediately begins a, scientific In carefully reading Captain Brown's decrements, Darlington makes a decree. He promptly calls the museum to arrange for the "thirty" san Francisco's everlasting to hold its columns open 30 minutes longer than usual. This is the museum's first exhibition. The museum and informs the official that he is going to remain in the usual exhibits overnight and that the exhibits are to be dismissed. This argument. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY WELL, I'm sorry, Mr. Darrington, but I don't think we can permit that. It is positively against our society to muse the museum at five o'clock at each time the night watchmen report for duty." Well, Darrington burst out with laughter, "we must break your rules this time. Call up Corrigan immediately. Certainly you cannot refuse." "No, the curator agreed, 'I won't raise Corrigan if he makes that request.' So saying with a grievance against the old sea captain he called to the police station, and, as Corrigan's response to wait until he arrived. In less than a half hour he walked into the curator's office." Turning to the famous Negro demeanor, he said, "Now Darrington, you're up your sleeve?" He asked last and I asked you better let me in on it. How do you want to stay in the museum tonight? What's the museum to do with the Browning murders? The "Hunch" "See how you figure that out," the that asked incredulously, "I can't see the connection myself." I can mirror added. "When we been the Negro, "you know that Brown was murdered a week ago; today that window and door in the house was locked; that no a thing was disturbed; that his mute and levels were not touched; that only the head is missing from his body." Hence, nor are reagents the motive, anyone would have been satisfied to kill him and let it go at that. Consequently there must have been some reason for cutting off his head, much I take it, is quite clear to me. "Quite true," interrupted the curator, "but did the murdered get in out of a locked room with a head, how without leaving a trace? You explain that?" "Yes," corraned, "how do you explain that?" "Well," continued Darrington, "we know that the murderer neither came in, went out of the door or windows, ensconcedent; he must have covered the fireplace with a chimney of the fireplace. You will remember that the fireplace is dislaced behind the chair in which someone stunned sat. The murderer would have any other direction would have been there, and there would certainly have been a struggle. As it was, nothing was disturbed but the captain's head. You yourself testified to the company that the head was carefully have been done with a sharp instrument with a long blade. Jone the job as nicely as it was done, and I am positive that the only other, instrument that could have lopped off the captain's head so evenly is aolo. Americans are unskilled at using bolos and very few of them could have climbed up that steep roof, deprived themselves of the burden and returned without accident. Moreover, what would an American have wanted with the head? The captain's body was easily identified by the numerous designs tattooed upon it, so the head was not necessary to identification. "Well I be dogged," Chief Corrigan exclaimed, "if this ain't the darnest case. If it is an American disaster to do it. If an American does not at all," the Negro answered, "It is true that the custom of beheading is widespread in China, but the heads have no value to the executioners. Why did it, then," queried the curator, rather impatiently, "Unless I am very greatly mistaken, Darrington informed them that he was the captain of the South Seas. They and the Peruvian Indians are about the only people today who mummify and preserve the heads of their ancestors, and who committed this murder because Captain Browning was never in the mountains and forests of Peru whereas he sailed for many years among small islands of the South Seas. "This morning I went through his manuscripts from beginning to end and I was able to read his experiences in the South Seas. About six years ago, just before he retired from the sea, he visited the island of Malta. He saw the sea and there came into possession of two heads of famous cheftains of the tribe. These heads are usually kept in a sacred place, the medicine man. Browning gave them a notette of gin, so he writes, and while they were drunk, he and his comrades went to the island and the two heads. They immediately sailed away and upon his return to San Francisco he presented one of the mummified heads to this mu "Now I imagine that the Chief of Manca fell into disgrace because of his negligence and at his first opportunity followed Browning to the States. His delay in coming so quickly, he prowls in streams rarely touch at these small islands. Well, I figure that having located Browning, he lost no time in entering the house and o-ceeding the captain with a bolo or kris such as is used in the Pacific Islands. Then, noticing the absence of the other and unable to find the other, he took the Captain's instead. Only a South Sea Islander used to climbing coconut trees could have made that perilous descent and ascent of the chimney, armed as he was, on his boat. The two women, at all of these fellows, were very sizable and agile, and besides, the Chief might have brought a young boy with him. "But where does the museum fit into this?" the Curator asked. "Why should this fellow come here, and he should have a cinnamon for all of you should he come here to touch?" "That's simple." Darrington continued. "The murderer, I believe, is anxious to get the head of the other chief which is in this museum. He only took Browning's head because the other man was probably the one who anything about this museum or that the head is here. Consequently I had an item placed on the front page of this afternoon's EAGLE which says that Captain Browning presented me the man in the South Seas to the museum, among them bein' the head of a former chief of Manea. Now, from a perusal of the shipping news in the morning paper I have learned that the next steamer bound for nearest Manea is the morning Manea I learned that. The Vesperia arrived here about two weeks ago from the same region. Now what is more natural than. this Polynesian should attempt to get the head he wants before the boat sails South Seas to take him to the islanders, who have come in touch with the whites, this fellow has probably been to a mission school and so can read and write. English. No one can recall being asked by anyone where Captain Browning lived, so I gather: that the yellow looked like a man right in my conjecture, he will visit the museum, and that's. why I don't want any watchmen around to interfere when he tries to get in." SOLUTION BEGUN "Well, I'll be dogged!" cried Corrigan "You've certainly got this thing figured out pretty good. I'll just stay here with you to see if this fellow comes." Turning to the Curator of the museum, he said, "Marshell, send those nightclubs and the office and I will have a window open for this fellow in case he comes." For hours Darrington and Corrigan waited in the eery darkness of the South Seas room for the nocturnal visitor they expected. Simply the close, the city rolled off the hours. Midnight came. The cold, damp fog rolled, in frost, the harbor and chilled them to the bone. Two o'clock came. Still nothing happened. Corrigan was beginning to doubt. Had people helped hold, follow to make a fool of him? Darrington was also beginning to doubt. In three hours it would be daylight or at least dawn, and certainly no one would think of entering the place at that hour. Three o'clock came. Still no longer the keen ears of the detectives heard the soft padding of bare feet, almost imperceptible to all but If You Ask Me--- By RALPH MATTHEWS At the next meeting of the Ministerial Alliance the Baltimore ministers hope to establish a union rate for performing marriage ceremonies. This will put matrimony strictly on a pay-as-you-enter basis. The Rev. Ernest Lyon says that a man who don't want to pay a decent price for his bride ought not be entitled to one. The minister forgets that getting married is like buying an automobile—it's not the original cost, it's the upkeep that counts. Wives, however, are a lot different from automobiles. just because a man obtains a license is no sign that he is going to run her. Of course it's mighty tough to start out on a lifetime journey and find you have picked out a flat tire. That is why so many husbands and wives are constantly giving each other the air. The rumble seat is a new innovation automobiles, but the grumble seat has been a fixture in marriage for centuries. The only excuse ministers have for charging people for marrying them is that matrons are supposed to be made in heaven and the preacher as an agent is merely collecting a fee for the home office. Since companionage marriages can be expensive the heavenly bookkeeper have been working overtime because they no sooner get the premium in force before the policy lapses. If matrimony were like life insurance, the ministers would have to keep their couples together or lose their commission. When they regulate the cost of marriage, the ministers are likely to go out on strike most anytime for higher wages, they will hand him a union card and a lot of prospective bridal couples will have to put off their wedding until the prices come down. Ministers should put a pair of scales in the chapel and weigh the brides as they marry them, it would then make a man pay the same thing for a little wife that a man with a big wife pays. Of course a group of lovers could set the same date and demand a wholesale rate or a single course could scour the town if they find a down and out minister and get a bargain. With union rates it would be necessary for presidents to join the Americas in the fight of Labor, but it would be hard on the young couple should the president call a strike GENUINE PHILLIPS HILLA OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDIGESTION ACIDS OF TOUCH HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES-INAUSEA Too Much ACID Many people, two hours after eat- excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle— those with a specially trained hearing. They held their breaths and gripped their pistols. Darrington had his finger posed to the floor the great room with light. Closer came the pad, pad, pad, of the bare feet on the smooth, hard floor. Then the feet stopped in the vicinity of the case containing the mutilated finger, heard the brisk opening, open him at the prescribed signal from Corrigan, the Negro detective pressed the electric button. THE MURDERER APPEARS There before the pase, attempting to open it with a long, wicked-looking bolo, stood a slender brown mans knee one and the other. With a snarl, he turned around, eyes bloodshot with rage and leaped toward the detectives, swinging the bright blade. He took the sage dropped at their feet severely wounded. Quickly the two men disarmed him. The two shots had found vital spots and the life of the man lay in the air. Between gaps he told his story. It was just as Darrington had cleverly foreseen. Before he died he directed them to his lodgings where he only the captain's head but also the mummified head of a Poly- right in their ceremony. It would hardly be in keeping with the spirit of Christianity for a group of ministers to heat up a fellow clergyman because he don't belong to the Union or put on a church on the Uni'r list, because it won't employ a Union pastor. They might even go so far as to make a union price for visiting the sick, but of course you could obtain season passes until you could to many visits a year. If more than one member of the family got sick at one time that would be extra unless the ministers took the taxi cab price and make no charges for extra passengers. The meantest minister in the world would be the one who would send the community member who would send the survivors a bill for room service. Ministers may soon establish a union rate for funerals and then a man would have to carry heavier insignia in order to hire a minister when he dies. If union ministers are like union plumbers whenever they start out to perform a sacrament, they would have to go back home to get their bibles. Ministers are always preaching about the meek inheriting the earth, but apparently on chances on the ones who already have it, remembering them in their wills. They probably know anyway that to ref by the time they come into their inheritance some slick lawyer will cepting GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles Ause to Acid INDIGESTION ACID STORAGE HEAT RETURN MEADACHE GASES-NAUSEA Too A Many people, two hours after eat-excess ing, suffer indigestion as they call it.

And you will never suffer from excess acid when you prove out this easy relief. Please do that—for your nesian. "Where did that come from?" Corrigan asked, pointing to the murmured head. Darrington laughed. "That's from the captain's study," he replied. "It was in a small glass case on one of the shelves. When the yellow lettel he took it with him. None of your men noticed that it had been taken away. However, it was no, Gust had occupied on the shelf there was less dust than elsewhere, which led me to first conclude that something had been taken from the shelf. That's what put me on the right track." Corrigan exclaimed in admiration, looking in to the face of the Negro, "you're a wonder. How would you like a job with the department?" Darrington shook his head. "No, that he head. I'm satisfied with that, $10,000 reward." - The End - (Isn't Darrington a clever one? Watch his solution of the "Holden Robbery" next week.

Ashley at least that is. "that people same said," she said, with different opinion. To be sure, she had all the material things that go a long way to make people comfortable, out Honora had never really wanted the material things. On a certain sunny fall afternoon as she drove home one office in bethlehem, her mother a tired little mother turned envious; yes upon her. "There goes one woman who has everything she wants. I'm sure she's happy. She doesn't have to bother with a wife or crying babies or a sure wife at home. Some women are lucky." So spoke the little mother, as she stood on the corner chatting with a friend; while three youngsters tugging her skirts skirted "I want a gown." Perhaps the mother would have been greatly surprised had she known that Honora, in her smart car and her smart clothes, had cast on her an envious glance. As she drove through the park she saw an old chocolate out walking an old boy, a chubby little yellow of two years. "Alice, he's such a darling! How upon you!" she exclaimed. "Hump! You wouldn't think that if you had to be bothered with him all day and all night. It's easy for people to rave about. children when they haven't any of their own." "Perhaps you're right; but I don't think I mind th responsibility. It's such a privilege to have a little The evening paper lay in her lap. She was reading her mail. There was a letter from her youngest sister, who was fairly sure with happiness: "Sometimes I stop and pinch myself to see if I really awake. Jim is simply wonderful. It is just like a movie romance. He is so tender and so affectionate. Or does it out here in California. Make it even more romantic. I wouldn't change places with the richest woman in the wrote: Honora winked back a tear and sad she herself fiercely: 'I'm ashemed of you! Jealous of your little sister! you! bumbrass!' For a moment she sat there staring into the fire. She had made Betty's happiness possible. Ten years ago she had thought that life was to give her love and roar. Then her father had died suddenly That changed everything. It was with a heartfelt effort that she could hold out of her life and save herself up to taking care of her friher mother and her little sister. She had been a very well-built, but she found happiness. had THINKING OF DONALD Of late she had thought often of Donaldo, and tonight no seemed especially near.

She urged her shoulders a little sadly as though she would shake off these thoughts. After all she had returned the om and set him tree. It had seemed she only deed thing to keep knew their marriage must be delayed for years and years. Yet it had hurt that he hadn't been more persistent about "fitting with her." She opened the paper and glanced on over the front page. cared. Suddenly her attention was arrested. "A eugenic baby!" She read the surprising rory with interest. At the end she leaned back thoughtfully. fury. Suppose she dared to do such a thing? Is all she 'had a right to a little of happiness. A child of her own would be complete compensation for all the hurt she endured. As she sat there, arning the idea over and over, in her mind the bell rang. She gave a little annoyed sigh and frowned. frowned. She must someone come might, when she wanted to be alone! ENTER THE FORMER LOVER She opened the door, opening to see a woman friend who had come in to gossip, but the caller was a mah "Ms Ashley. I think?" said a strangely familiar voice. "Yes. How are you, Mr. Adams?" she heard herself say as she stared at him with unbelieving eyes. It didn't seem quite possible that he could be there before her. Yet she was, waiting for her to arrive in. "aren't you going .o ask me he He took a step toward her as he spoke, "can't believe it's you yet. Coma in and have a seat."

CONVERSATION "You wouldn't expect me to be exactly the same after ten years, would you?" He calm little smile belied "No!" He returned slowly, his eyes still upon her "but you're so calm now and so self-contained. Then you were an impulsive will-o-the-wisp sort of person," but tools ever "Honora quoted with a soft laugh. "Are you thinking that I haven'r changed, Honora? I believe you're making fun of me. "Why? I want! Do you accuse me? I much too well-bred to do such a thing." He leaned toward her for a moment and she caught a fleeting glam of the younger Donald in his eyes, as you used to? I'l forgive you then." An aching warmth rose up in her throat. If he was going to bring up the past it would be too hard. past, could you tell that, but it seems so silly now." Her answer gave no indication of the state of her feelings. He did not answer at once, but sat staring into the fire. He couldn't understand Honora. He had heard it said that, though she had broken their engagement, its marriage had upset her. He had thought that she still cared. He had thought that she had like this she seemed to be knocking him. one seemed to be shouting at He caught her swiftly to him, kissing her passionately. At last he said: "Honora, do you remember the last time we were together—that night on the beach?" "Of course, I have an excellent memory and I forget nothing." He shifted uncomfortably in his seat at that. "I sure now she was laughing at him." He had been a fool to come, but perhaps he deserved this. "You're sorry I came, aren't you? he asked, trying. o see into her eyes. he could be sure, but she kept her eyes upon the fire or downcast. "No, I'm always glad to see old friends." "I see. Well, I wouldn't have come but you are near so business and laugh I'd run in to see you. I have wanted to see you a long time. Of course! And, being a man, you naturally flattered yourself in: believing that I'd be charmed to see you. She raised her eyes to look at him to see what effect her words had upon him. Suddenly he turned from the fire and caught her eyes and he knew that he was seeing her. He leaned over and caught her slim brown hands in his big strong one. "Honora, look at me and tell me that you have forbidden! he cried. I have seen your eyes: I knew that I was seeing." There was a ring of triumph in his voice as he spoke. She tried to free her hands, but he hold them fast. held. Don't be fooish! Please don't forget yours!" He held her hands fast. "Honora, listen to me!" "What good can I get from listening do? What can I come here like this? You are married now. There is nothing between us now. All that was ended long ago." "You cannot fool me now. You have not forgotten and I know it and because of this I must tell you. I've wanted to tell you for ten years nearly." THE OLD. OLD STORY There was no help for it; she had to listen.

She went to my head like wine. She soothed my bride where you had wounded it and Honra was sitting beside him now on the little settee. "So that was it. Oh. Donald, why were you so foolish! How could you think I didn't care!" "I don't know." Perhaps it never been able to know. "Perhaps it was Fate. But I wanted to tell you--want to know that you understood whether you could forgive me or not. I've suffered, for she has not been a tool to me as you would have been. It is only because of our little boy that I pictured him to myself as sturdy and brown, with dark eyes. "Yes, he is like that. But tell me what have you been doing in these years?" "All that I've done is work. People will tell you that I am the most successful real estate deal: among our neighbors. But I am that I am a woman to be proud of and a woman to be envious—but it has been nothing to me. I worked because I've been afraid not to. I had to support Betty and my mother. But I am that I am come because I tried to forget myself in my work." "I fancied that you might have me," she said. "Nobody will have me." She laughed a little whimsically as she spoke. "Perhaps you mean nobody that you would have, has asked you," no corrections. "Have it your way." LOVE "Would it surprise you I tell you that I love you, Hopu?" "No, I think not, now that you have explained. I think you loved me all too much, and our foolish condescension spot our lives." "If we could back again to that, night on the beach, how different our experiences would you go back if it were possible?" "Don't, Donald," she cried softly. "Back the pass. It is done forever." back the pass. It is done forever." "But we have the present. We get some happiness from this hour." And with that he caught her swiftly to him, kissing her passionately: "Let me go. Donald!" she cried, struggling free from him. "This is madness!" "Madness! I am mad—mad with love you, with love of you!" She felt her blood racing swiftly, felt a sharp sniffing warmth, felt the 1 intoxication of his nearness creeping over her; felt an longing of ten years rushing in upon her; but she struggled to master herself. "Tomorrow you will realize that I am right. Tonight you're getting your education and memories run away with you." Her words were calm enough, our he caught the taint vibrancy of her voice and saw the rose flush amidst her tears. And now, we knew that our words belled her real "Tomorrow I will be gone and I may not ever see you again. This hour may be all that we may ever have together. Shall we take it, ironora? It may be all that we ever have." "Please, Donald—don't! You make it hard for me." "But this hour . . . irs—all we are eye, have. Let us take it." Again he caught her to him, raining kisses upon her soft upturned mouth. His words burned into the innermost parts of her song. They beckoned and lured her; they threatened to undermine her resistance. WHY NOT? After all, why not live this hour? Why not take this hour to keep a bright, jewel to brighten her life in the dark, wears ahead? She lay there with her head again, his shoulder, toying with the cup of love offered her, wondering whether she dared to drink. Suddenly there flashed across her mind, as she had read in the evening's paper. Did she dare break conventions and traditions as that woman had done? It was her right. Her life was her own. If he had done this, her sacrifice might be compensated. Even if it meant giving up her position and her business, it would be worth it to have a little child of her own. Again Alice's little boy, with his big dark eyes. Donald's child wr older, but he had big dark eyes. He seemed to be standing there before her, watching her. "IRTUCE TRIUMPHS Fear and shame stole over her and she drew away from the man's embrace. "Donald," she said, "you must go home. We have both been near to rashness. We may love each other, but we can't do this—we haven't the right." "Come, Honoral. If you're thinking of Jillian my wife—she doesn't care. She doesn't love me—doesn't care what I do." "No, it isn't that so much. It's your son I'm thinking of. He is the one that really counts, and he can't let you break with him. If his mother has failed him, you must stand by him." He looked at her queerly for a moment, then he bent and kissed her father he can be a teacher, he went into the hall where she stood while he put on his coat. Turning to or again, he said: I give you came tonight. I know now that you care. I know that there are good women and true, and some day will I give my boy & real mother. Will you take me if I'm not sure? Antar,The Black Poetic Terror Was One of the World's Foremost Lyricists; Yet His Sword Was Deadly and His Harsh Penetrating Eyes Struck Terror Into All who Opposed Him. (By J. A. ROGERS) NTAR IBN SHADDAD greatest of Nepal postas was one of the most gusted of men. Not only is he one of the world' foremost lyricists, but also one of its greatest NTAR IBN SHAADDAL, greatest of the Nego poets, was one of the most prized of men. Not only is he one of the world's foremost lyricists, but also one of its greatest warriors. Among the Greeks the most renowned warrior was Achilles, and the greatest poet, Homer. Antar, as he is better known, is at once the Achilles and the Homer of the East. What Roland is to the French, what Sigfried is to the German, what St. George is to the English, that is Antar to the half million souls of the Mohammedan world. In the literature of the East, he is known as "Abul Fouaris," (the Father of Heroes). Few men started lower in life than Antar, few, if any have risen higher in the esteem and affection of his despisers. Life began by playing a very cruel joke on Antar. He was born a slave in the midst of one of the proudest people who ever lived—the Bedouins. The Bedouins, great horsemen and plunderers of the desert, pride themself, as on the purity of their descent from Ishmael, son of Abraham and Hagar—on that and their famous Arabian steeds. To them Antar was but scum. Like it worse Antar was extraordinarily ugly. He was "flat-nosed, bleary-eyed, harsh-featured and with ears immensely long." Further he was hare-lipped, and as if to crown all, he was black. The brown-skinned Bedouins despised black. Ah! But Antar's eyes! From them flashed "sparks of fire." His father, the wealthy Shaddad, chief of the Abs tribe, despised him both for his Negro origin and for illegitimacy. Shaddad was too, hated the sight of Antar, and at her Shaddad sent him 'him off to tend cattle. But like David of the Scriptures, Antar was destined to flash into sudden lame. One day, when he was only fifteen, war broke out between his tribe and a neighboring one over the possession of a famous mare, named Jirwet. Antar entered the battle as a common soldier; he emerged from it the hero of the day. Thanks to his skill, the enemy was signally defeated. His father, now immensely proud of him, at once seized the sword. "From that moment," in the words of La Grande Encyclopedia, "the warlike life of Antar began. He became the defender of his tribe, its firmest support." "Other tribes reproached the Abs because they had a Negro as chief, but Antar did not trouble about that or his origin. He considered himself a parvenu. "one· whose mother was of the race of Ham but who has the race of a friend him." ANTARAS WARRIOR There is so much literature on Antar that it is possible to give but a few bare details on his life here. So great were his deeds in battle, so renowned his poetry, that a tradition has sprung up around him as in the case of Jesus, Mahomet, Homer, Buddha, and Shakespeare. Many are the tales told of his mission, the most notable of which has been translated by Terrick Hamilton—tales which are as full of chivalry and heroic daring as any of those of the West, and which are still the chief theme of the story-tellers in the cafes of Cairo and Damascus. One of his greatest exploits was his encounter with his rival, Abood-deji, for the love of Ibik, daughter of his uncle, Meikl, a wealthy chief. Antar was returning from his conquests in distant parts of Asia, loaded with spoils when Abooddeji, surreptitiously "Invincible" marched to meet him. But challenging the redoubtable warrior to single combat, Antar pressed on him, weared him, and tarried him, then extending his sword; pierced him between the breasts, and forced the barb through shoulders. Because of his ancestry, Antar met great opposition in love, evoking some of his most beautiful poems. For a long time his uncle and his uncle's family opposed his marriage with Iba.

When the mules and camels were loaded and the female slaves, Grecians, Persians, Georgians and Franks were mounted on them, Antar presented to Ibla three variegated robes, studded with precious metals and jewels; he clothed her in them and placed on her head the diadem that the slaves ordered to give him. He slaved orderaria given to the magnificent, silver, litter, the supports of which were of burnished gold. At the sight of this mass of splendor, Ibla was stupefied and amazed. Her father, Malik, as he surveyed it, was in the greatest consternation and surprise, but as to her mother her torque was tied up with a sword, with Antarra cared for any of them, so entirely was he devoted to Ibla, producing articles after articles in succession until she was bewildered. He raised her into the litter with her mother and commanded the slaves to go forward. Her father was so overcome by Antarra's wealth that he quickly consented to the marriage. THOSIS TES and P.

IRI The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, May 18, 1929 ANTAR AS POET. Antar's poems are of the most exalted nature combining the most warlike spirit with the sublimest devotion and ecstasy. One of his poems was ordered to be hung up at the door of the Temple at Mecca, the highest honor that could be awarded a Moslem writer, he being one of the seven who have ever achieved that distinction. European critics have showered praise on his poems, among them the great critic Renan. Lamartine, famous poet, says of his poem in the Malakat: "It is one of the finest lyric chants in any language." SINGS OF HIS BELOVED. It is in this manner that Antar sings the praise of his beloved Ibla.

Again: "Slimly made is she and the magic influence of her eye preserves the bones of a corpse from entering the tomb. "The sun, as it sets turns towards her and says: Darkness obscures the land, do thou rise in my absence, and the brilliant moon calls to her: Come forth for thy face is like me when I am at the full and in all my glory. The Tamarisk trees complain of her the moon and say: Away thou waning beauty, thou form of the laurel. She turns away abashed and throws aside her veil and the roses are scattered from her soft fresh cheeks. "She draws her sword from the glances of her eye-lashes, sharp and penetrating as the blades of her forefathers, with it her eyes commend order though it be sheathed. Is it not surprising that a sheathed sword should be so sharp against its victims? "Gracieat is her every limb, slender her waist, love-beaming are her glances, waving is her form. The damsel passes the night with musk under her vell and its fragrance is increased by the warmth of her breath. The lustre of day sparkles from her forehead and by the dark shades of her curling ringlets night itself is driven away. "When she smiles between her teeth is a moisture composed of wine, of rain, and of honey. Her throat complains of the darkness of her neckclaces, of the frost that coat and that necklace.

The following are some of the verses from the poem that was hung "As soon as I beheld the legions of our enemies advancing and animating one another to battle, I, too, rushed forward and acted without reproach. "The troops called out, Antara! while javellins long as the cords of a well were forcibly thrust against the chest of my dark steed. "I ceased not to charge the toe with the neck and breath of my arm until he was mantled in blood. "My steed, bent aside with the strokes of the lances in his forehead, complained to me with gushing tears and tender sobbing. "Had he known the art of discourse, he would have addressed me in plaintive strain and had he possessed the faculty of speech he would have distinctly ing with, disfiguring, countenances every, robust, stallion and every, strong-limited mare. "Then my soul was healed and all my anguish was dispersed by the cry of the warriors: 'Well done, Antara, charge again!'" KILLED IN BATTLE. Some of his finest poems extolled the beauty of a black skin: "In blackness there is great virtue if you will but observe its beauty... Black ambergris has the purest fragrance...." Antar was killed in battle in 615 A.D. while making one of his headlong, impulsive charges against the enemy. Larousse, noted French encyclopedia says of him: "The blackness of his skin caused him to be classed with the lowest slave of the tribe. From his infancy he gave proof of his extraordinary force. By the will of Antara his acts he redeemed his extraction and won his freedom. Like most Arab chiefs, he was as skilled in the poetic art as in the use of the sword. "Deprived of the advantages of good looks and birth, he won merit by force of soul, by the power of his spirit, and the indomitable energy of his character, occupying the foremost rank among men..." **Ingrédients Necessary** Soll the widest angle of Flex Plex Bleaching Ointment and Other Beauty Ointments.

THE MUTUAL ATTRACTION BETWEEN THE SKY-PILOT AND THE BARNYARD FOWL IN ORDER to arrive at the basic cause for the love of the minister for the barnyard fowl it is necessary to review some of the history of the American in general. There are in civilized America today about twelve million citizens of African descent and also a great number native it. the wilds of Georgia and Mississippi. if the reports of explorers are to be relied upon. Contrary to the general belief not all of these are ministers of the government. Prior to 1776 there were not half this many Negroes in the United States. Historians attribute this to fact that before the Revolution war there was no United States. There were only thirteen colonies and Africans, but by nature a suspicious and superstitious race, did not come America in great numbers until after the jinx was broken. But this, however, they began to multiply so rapidly that the settlers became so alarmed the spread of the Negro race in the Mississippi Delta that the started plans for flood relief.

They were so happy among their native haunts that they have to wake up in the middle of the night to laugh. Dutchmen found them there among the trees, flowers and monkeys and wrenched them away.

Tolerance is the finest fruit of knowledge. Not alone book knowledge but life' knowledge. For knowledge but life' knowledge be found in individuals with experience rather than among the so-called innocent. Now, it is well known, that men and women marry at a younger age in the country than they do in the big cities. In the country they haven't anything else to look forward to and no other way to express their desire to marry. Of course, it is the custom among hypocritical people to pretend there is no such thing as amorous impulses and these people, which unfortunately make up a large part of the rural states populations, therefore make no provision for this side of human nature. They do not instruct the young in the use of the stumble on the facts in a brutal manner or, even worse, learn them from the silly half-truths of older children.

This high rate of divorce (which doesn't count the numerous separations privately arrived at) is rather astounding. But even more astounding is the fact that they found that the great metropolitan centers which are usually accused of easy morals and swiftness had a much lower rate than the more rural states. The ratio was one divorce to every twenty-one in New York State, one in Georgia it was one to 13; in Wisconsin, one to 6.3; in Indiana, one to 4.1; and in Michigan, one to 3.4. The fact that there is more marital trouble in what is supposed to be the more religious and reliable part of the country is going to upset a lot of superficial theories about marriage, one of which is that the more ignorant of the facts of life the woman is the better wife she will be. Everyone will admit that the woman is more religious than those in New York State, where they have frequent contact with books and plays which deal frankly with sex. Not only that, but sex is discussed quite casually at the most respectable homes. Plays like "Diamond Lil," "The Front Page," "Lulu Belle," and "All God's Chillun Gwings" which had long runs in New York City and thereabouts would be stamped immoral and dangerous to public ethics in those states with the highest divorce rate. While even those industries are not tolerated in New York City they would be tarred and feathered in Georgia and Michigan. Anc we have perhaps the chief reason why more couples sepa- By JULIA JEROME White 50¢ Amber 25¢ him — either, way it works out the same, because it establishes an inequality between the couple which makes frankness impossible. And lack of frankness in marriage plays the same havoc that dishonesty does in business. It means that one of the pair is trying to get more than his or her share. It means that one of the pair is a grafter, taking a rake-off on the ignorance of the other. And sooner or later the graft is discovered and we have either a tragedy or a divorce. And this is the state of marit.1 danger which many of our elders defend vigorously! No wonder the ship of marriage is said to be going on the rocks! Our elders want to keep Sea of Alas upon what they travel unharmed and the vessel in darkness. We have modern improvements in everything but marriage! And since it is so hard to obtain the facts of life early, and since we have to wait until hard experience teaches us what our parents and schools should have done, the safest time to marry seems to be around thirty rather than twenty. People who wait till they are twenty-five or thirty to enter marriage usually make a success of it. By that time they know what kind o. a companion is most suitable to their natures; they also realize that they must not demand too much of their partners. and they are also more established financially at the same time as the serious and less reckless. The first, egotism of youth which expects impossible things of itself and others will be shaved down by bitter experiences to more seemingly proportions. So often men who marry young blame their lack of success on the fact that they were saddled and hamped by a wife and family. This would be avoided in later marriage.

Now, there is college and diverse occupations for her if she wishes them. Of course, this is still not altogether true of the rural districts — and because women in the rural states have no future except in marriage, and no preparation for it, we find the divorce rate higher there. The idea of trial marriage which is considered so shocking — especially in the rural states — is really becoming an institution and in 'n the very communities which have most marriages by design. For each marriages and frequent divorces are simply trial marriages legalized.

To ponder over these matters 1s unnecessary you will merce, It is without doubt true that the newspapers. and fans as well. have sullered as a result of poorly organized publicity, or in some eases no publicity at all.

A few columns back we spoke of the Mackey case and we might just as well have spoken of Gardner and Carr in the same breath; for they tov, are guilty of the same thing—failing to re- port on time. ‘Now comes news of Master Paul Stevens, formerly of Hilldale, who Was supposed to go to the Homestead Grays, this season but Who, instead (if box scores are not deceiving), chose to cast is Tot with Danny McClellan's Philadelphia Clants.

HEARING IN DOUGLAS CASE THIS WEEK (Continued from page one) be issued for Bishop, A. L. Gaines, president of the conference, warning him to show cause before a certain date why the trial and expulsion shall not be declared no effect. G. C. Fitzgerald, counsel for Bishop Gaines, said Thursday that a proper answer had been filed and that his clients were ready to go on with the case April 15 when the other side requested a hearing. Mr. Fitzgerald said he could not conceive of any grounds upon which the trial and expulsion could be considered void. Rev. Mr. Douglas was expelled by unanimous vote of the Baltimore Conference May 2 following a conference trial to which he was summoned but failed to appear. He was charged with violation of his vows, breaking rules of the church, insubordination, sowing, dissension and pastoral interference. Rev. Mr. Douglas was once pastor of Bethel Church. At the end of his term he was sent to Allen Chapel which declined to receive him. Thereupon he formed an independent church, many of whose members were drawn from Bethel. Sought to Ston Action Declaring that he would be declared guilty and expelled from the ministry thereby suffering irreparable injury as a citizen and minister of the gospel. Rev. Mr. Douglas sought an injunction in Circuit Court early in April before conference convened. The court refused a temporary injunction and ordered the case to be heard on its merits. Conference Acts Quickly Meantime the conference met and vowed to action. Action was taken on the first day of the session. Rev. Mr. Douglas was ordered to turn in his credentials authorizing him to give communion, baptize, harry to dead or perform the marriage ceremony. Sought C.M.E. Church Friends of Mr. Douglas sought the C.M.E. Church and baptist Church to secure a new ordination of the minister that he might go on his work. So far as can be learned the C.M.E. Church has declined to act. ORDINATION NOT NECESSARY - GRAY Paul and Timothy Not Ordained Says Psalmist Baptist Church Pastor Citing as an authoritative instance that Paul and Timothy were not ordained for their ministry, the Rev. Junius Gray told the Baptist Missionary association at Psalmist church Tuesday that "iron clad rules of ministerial bodies" to regulate the men to preach without ordination. Challenging the meeting to show scriptural authority for the ordination of the two apostles, the Rev. Gray said: Ministers ought to think more about parish God does for them than about what a body of men might say over them." CHURCHES PROSPER BAPT. REPORTS SHOW Ministers Meeting Hears Encouraging Reports on Field day. AFRO EDITOR SPEAKS News Big Factor in Public Opinion, He Tells Body. Local Baptist churches are in a prosperous condition, field day reports at the ministers', meeting Monday, show. The Rev. Junius Gray reported that he had refinanced his church with a reduction from $6,000 to $4,500 indebtedness. Spring Clothes The Rev. Joshua Greer reported that his church raised $498 last Sunday, which, among other things, he said, would enable him to get some spring time in his life. The Rev. C. B. Jones declared that while his congregation is struggling to secure funds for a new building, they are worshiping in the 1100 block of McCullon street. The Rev. C. B. Jones reported the general condition of the churches good, the Revs. A. J. Payne W. W. Allen Simon Williamson, Young and Yerby. AFRO Editor Speaks William Jones, managing editor of the AFRO, responded to a resolution requesting the news of the conference going into the paper be censored by a committee, stated that while the newspapers were anxious to cooperate with all religious bodies, it would not be good to press the ministers meeting, nor the community, to suppress news of any kind. "The avenues of public sentiment," he declared, "must be kept open, as one of the greatest guarantees to the Allies. Allies should be bad, should be given proper consideration." He pointed out that half of the Bible would not have been written if any such resolution as proposed had governed the writers. He pointed out that Sapphira incident and Paul's scathing philipic on corruption and hypocrisy, are unpleasant in the same sense that some present day news is unpleasant; he declared; and the chitchat which should govern is strict adherence to the law. In reply, the Rev. A. J. Payne declared that members of the body had come to feel that the AFRO-AMERICAN magnified the bad and minimized the good. "All we want" he added, "to deal with the inclusion of good news when good things happen." The Rev. Junius Gray declared that the AFRO-AMERICAN sometimes had the advantage because they had no medium through which to reply. Convention to Meet The United Baptist Missionary Convention of Maryland, will convene here May 10 at Shiloh Baptist Church in Burlington. Dr. D. G. Mack is president. Visitors introduced to the meeting included the Rev. M. Bell, of North Carolina; Rev. H. M. Jeter, of Newport; the Rev. Mr. Smith, of Washington.
