Mrs. Goings showed him and muttered something under her.
Bind now with rage, her husband backed away, a few steps and pulled out a revolver. Aiming it, he pulled the trigger. Ms. Goings dropped in a heap. The incensed husband then tied up a few paces and emptied the gun, form as the spectators dropped back. After the shooting Goings stove over her dead body as if in a daze. An unidentified spectator threw a bottle that struck him on the head. The police a few seconds later, Chief of Police Walter Allen of Yeason walked up and arrested Goings.

Moton at White House at Pres. Hoover's Invitation
WASHINGTON. D. C. (ANP)—Dr. Robert M. Roton, M.D.—Dr. Robert M. Roton, Institute, was a caller at the White House last Thursday at an invitation of President Herbert Hoover. He spent three-quarters of an hour with the president and no official announcement of the subject of the question, for a group in Washington. President for an opinion on the purely political outlook, Dr. Roton said, "I have great hopes after talking with President Hoover, that the present administration is going to be in a larger and finer way than has been true for many years." "I believe that the president is determined to be fair and square," he said, "and responsible for creed or color. It is my sanguine opinion that we will receive greater recognition and be given fuller opportunity to serve our country." More than hitherto has ever been true. "I am not worried about the so-called 'illy-wild' situation in the South. There ought to be on each of the patronage committees of the various States, one or more Negro representatives, and I am hopeful that this will be done." Dr. Roton was accompanied on his visit to the White House by Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age.

DISREGARDS NEGRO IN NAMING COMMISSION
Sweeping changes in the practice of local ministers as regards marriages, holding of meetings and a militant fight against teachers who are allegedly expounding "agnostic" doctrine to Baltimore youth in the high schools, were proposed at the regular monthly meeting of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance here Thursday.
The agenda of a "Declaration of Principals" was outlined by Dr. Ernest Lyon, president of the Alliance, and a committee was appointed to draw up resolutions making the proposals the law of the
FUNERALS.
The reformations which he proposed were changes in the conduct of funerals, a universal adjustment of the marriage fee for funerals, a stricter dress code in the conduct of thanksgiving and memorial services, a discontinuance of the use of the theaters and public halls used during the week for dancing and other questionable creation, for divine service on Sunday. In regard to conduct of funeral service the Alliance is to deplore the use of the "pagan guards" hats in the church by the men of the family. The family of the deceased is to be required to provide conveyance for the minister to and from the funeral.
MARRIAGE FEES, $5.
A standard fee of $5 is to be charged for marriages by all ministers. This law, the president would conserve the marriages and conduct to the dignity of the ministerial character.
AGNOSTICISM.
The ministers declared themselves ready to attack the practice of some teachers in the high schools who have been reported as understudy in the marriages and conduct to the dignity of the ministerial character.

BILL IS WITHDRAWN
MADISON, Wis. — For the third time in eleven years, legislation seeking to prevent intermarriage between the races here has was killed by the legislature.

Mayor, Council and Official Family Attend Services, Set Forward Three Hours so as Not to Conflict With Council Meeting.
The machinery of municipal government was halted for two hours Monday as the mayor and city council turned out at Sharon Baptist church to pay final tribute to the late Mrs. Anna L. McGulinn, wife of City, Councilman Walter T. McGulinn, who succumbed at the Provident hospital, Friday.
Every precaution was taken by the mayor and Charles Pohlman, chief of transportation, to see that the funeral procession moved smoothly. "No parking" regulations were in force around the church and home. Both sides of the church were flanked with official cars and a motorcycle escort conducted the funeral procession to the church and afterwards to the cemetery.
MAYOR THERE.
At the funeral were: Mayor Breening, Chief Engineer. Goob, and other members of the mayor's official family, and the entire city council, making up an escort party of some fifty persons.
FOUNDER OF CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS
Funeral services took place at 11 o'clock with the Rev. Beale Elliott, pastor of Sharon, officiating. The altar was, completely blanketed with floral tributes from societies and friends.
Resolutions were read by women actively connected with Mrs. McGulinn in her civic and church work. She was praised for her devotion to church activities and her remarkable ability as a leader and organizer. She was one of the founders of the Eva Jenifer Neighborhood club, the Women's Missionary Society, Day Nursery and the Bible Study club. She was also an active member of the Federation of Cooped Women's and the Bible Missionary Society one time as the corresponding secretary of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Missionary convention.
BORN IN VIRGINIA.
Mrs. McGulinn was born in Amelia county, Virginia on March 25, 1910. She was a member of Harriet A. Wallace. She was a graduate of the Normal school of Richmond, Va., where she taught in the public schools of that city until more to live in 1892. She is survived by her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Alma Harlee, wife of Dr. Chaucy Harlee of Philadelphia, Pa. The Rev. George F. Ellison of Philadelphia, also spoke.
The pallbearers were: City Councilman Walter S. Emerson, Dr. Howe, ours, former Councilman William S. Fitzgerald, Chester Morton, John W. Woodhous and Arthur L. MacBeth.
FUNERAL HOUR: ADVANCED.
Services were originally scheduled for 2 p.m., but it was necessary to call the city council meeting at 11 a.m., which could not be postponed, and which the Democrats thought that Mr. McGunn would not be able to attend.
Other present circumstances, the council is deadlocked on all important business by reason of the fact that each party has nine votes. O'Mean, Democrat, votes on all candidates, has enabled Mayor Broening to carry out his program.
At the death of Councilman Rollins, Republican, last week, the mayor lost his majority of one and two votes, has enabled Mayor Broening to carry out his program.
The first time either side fails to have its full strength present, the other will elect a member of its own party to serve in the vacancy and thus secure control.
McGUNN THERE.
Mr. McGunn attended the council meeting after the funeral, and his vote prevented the Democrats from electing a successor to Rollins.

Negro Only Group Not Represented on Law Enforcement Commission.
ACTION SIGNIFICANT
WASHINGTON, D. C. Catholic and Jew, North and South, male and female, wet and dry, judge and lawyer, eleven in number were named by President Hoover for his law enforcement commission, this week.
Every conceivable group was given representation except the Negro. The president disregardedurgings of the N.A.A.C.P. and similar bodies to name colored men like Kelly Miller, Dr. W. E. B. DuBols, Dr. R. R. Moton, or former Ast. U. S. Attorney General Lewis of Boston, on the commission.
Ada L. Comstock, president of Radcliff College, represents the women. Monte Lemann, member of Tulane law school faculty, Louisiana, represents the dews.
U. S. Judge P. J. McCormick, of California, is a Catholic.
California, is a Catholic.

New Englanders are Roscoe Pound, dean of Harvard law school, and a professor of law, sent by Frank J. Loesch of Chicago, McCormick of California, Federal Judge Kenyon of Iowa.
Newton D. Baker, Cleveland, Ohio, former secretary of war, represents Scott.
ANTI-NEGRO.
President Hoover's appointments are regarded as an evidence of a White House policy which is to be violently anti-Negro for the next four years. Mr. Hoover did he overlook Negroes on the commission, but he passed over white men who are known friends of the race.
HOOVER TALKS
President Hoover outlined the functions of the new commission in a recent statement in which he said: "The purpose and scope of the Law Enforcement Commission is to enforce the law and to ensure the entire Federal machinery of justice. "It will also naturally include consideration of the method of enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and abuses which have grown up, together with the laws in respect to narcotics, to immigration, to trade restraint and every other breach of Federal government law enforcement."
NO 14th AND 15th AMENDMENTS.
While Mr. Hoover thus specifically mentions the 18th Amendment as well as the entire Constitution, his appointment has been criticized for lack of a detrack any consideration of the violation of the 14th and 15th Amendments which make the Negro a full citizen and guarantee his right to vote.
Southerners from States which have all kinds of anti-Negro laws from segregation to disfranchisement, can be counted upon to see that the commission steers clear of recommending enforcement
BALTIMOREANS TALK.
Several Baltimoreans expressed the desire that the president's commission, as follows:
Dr. Howard E. Young, 1100 Druid Hill, avenue, pharmacist;
"I did not expect anything else. However, I would like to have seen a colored member on the commission."
APPROVES HOOVER STAND.
R. Maurice Moss, executive secretary of Urban League, 521 McMechen street:
"I If I were in Mr. Hoover's place I would not have appointed a colored man either, because an African American him embarrassing questions. For example, he might ask why so much attention is paid to the Eighteenth Amendment when there are a couple of people who want to be in the Constitution for two generations and no particular attention has been paid to their enforcement.
"He might also ask why congressmen applauded a Washington cop (continued on Seven)

"WHAT GOOD ARE WE" CLUB WILL QUIZ MINISTER
Movies of Party Would Lead to Divorce, He Said.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A fight is in the making at the Capital of the Nation. It is in its incipient stages.
The Rev. R. W. Brooks began it when he severely criticized in his Day sermon recent social affairs given here. It was thought he referred to the annual costume dance of the "What Good Are We?" Club. Costumes at the dance included pajamas, which were worn by both
men. Some members of his congregation are incensed. It was not only what he said, but the man who he said should have them. Some are We? dance. They took personal offense at his remarks. They are nothing that would cause anyone to go against any divorces to the courts, or any cancies in the public school system. The Rev. Mr. Brooks decides these dire results. He have followed the picture had been made of the dance.
Gossip
Staid mothers and stern fathers who disapprove generally of the spirit of the jazz age, united with their sons and daughters in condemning his apparitions. They noted that he lowered the dignity of the pulpit in repeating what which had come to him implicitly from persons who were not in attendance.
Submit List
Refined society—men high in the professions and business educators, university professors, and their wives, and he had ladies whose reputation was at the dance. The question is being asked, about whose conduct was he talking? The What Good Are We? Club proposal to mit him a list of guests and ask him to the persons to whom he had referred.
The Rev. Mr. Brooks succeeded at Lincoln the Rev. Emory B. Smith who resigned against the congregation to become connected with the University in a new capacity.
He is regarded as a good man sincere and conscientious. But he lacks the pulpit of obsequious men. A member of the congregation said that the preferred Mr. Smith with his worldliness to Mr. Brooks with his holiness
Here Five Years
The Rev. Mr. Brooks succeeded Mr. Smith as the pastor of Lincoln in December, 1934. He came here from Detroit, Michigan. His wife, Mrs. Anna C. Brooks, committed suicide here November 30, 1926. The two were in their home when he downstairs, his study called home, a friend, told her of her intent, and without hanging up the receiver shot herself.
Talks To Afro
Dr. Brooks told the AFRO-AMERICAN CUNy Tuesday that the news story in last week's issue quoted him correctly.
"I did not refer to any organization by name," he said, "and I do not care to add to or subtract from what I have already said.
"One sentence in your story summarizes the whole affair from my point of view here. There had been a moving picture made of the scenes enacted at a social affair that took place here last Friday evening, on Mon. morning there would have been several vacancies in the public schools, several divorced cases and a few children. Sirin K. Sinclair would have had more company in the District jail."
Asked if he knew of any other costume dances which occurred on

for a long time. The druggist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made into tea and take it any time I feel the need of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetite after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the price."
Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose.

SAYS FINLEY WILSON
SPURNED $20,000
$2500 COUNSEL FEE
WASHINGTON. — Defending himself and J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted to the highest position and Presidential order of Elks of the World, Perry W. Howard grand legal advisor, branded as rider to the New York City, Holstein, New York City, that Mr. Wilson had accepted from him $1,000 not to split the order by taking the convention away from New York City.
Mr. Wilson spurned an offer of $20,000 in cash made by Mr. Holstein for the assurance that there would be no interference with the meeting of the grand lodge in New York City on October 1, 2001, told Mr. Holstein that there was not enough money in the National City Bank to bridge him.
Admits Fees
Mr. Howard admitted that, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson compiled the New York City Elks to pay counseles and court cost for litigation at the New York State Supreme Court sum of $2,800 was not for him but was distributed among six lawyers. The statement of Mr. Howard is as follows:
"Holdenstein seems to be suffering with an over-wearing desire for publicity, it not notoriety. If there is no more truth in other statements made by him and for him than there is, he has not been the deserves the silent contempt the world has for all assassins of character.
"It is necessary to differentiate between the fight to dissolve New York State and the litigation at Newark, N. J. The grand lodge at Cleveland pledged its resources behind the effort to dissolve the New York State lodge in Newark had to do with the dissolution of a temporary injunction sued out by Manhattan, Monarch and Imperial lodges to restrain the grand lodge from meeting in any other place than New York
"The United States district court at Newark held that the court was not justifying as the injunction obtained by the white Elks against our organization was in force in New York State. Pope B. Pope, Francis E. Rivers and their assocates got the full weight of their place placing the full weight of his influence, energy and the resources of the order behind their efforts, and the New York State district court said that the sum of $2,500 Mr. Holstel speaks of had to do solely with the litigation in Newark. The grand exalted ruler refused to stay in Newark and penned the order's money for that litigation. Mr. Holstel offered to advance the money and have himself reimbursed by the New York committee on arranging which was responsible for this litigation. "Mr. Holstel did advance the money and the sum of the following attorneys for their legal services; Arthur G. Free, S. A. T. Watkins, Chicago, Ill.; Oliver R. Olmert, Newark, N. J.; Eucene R. Haynes, S宝宝 Park, N. J.; and R. Louis M. Roulger.
S20.000 Bribe
Mr. Holstel came to Washington long before the grand lodge was to be convened or any injunction proceedings were begun. At the home of the grand exalted ruler and his seance of the lodge of the Charles Dr. Charles B. Fisher, John T. Rusher S. A. T. Vaut and others, tossed upon Mr. Wilson's bed twenty $1,000 bills, offering the money to Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson for his assurance of the grand lodge address in New York. "The grand exalted ruler resented Mr. Holstel action as an offer of a bribe. Mr. Holstel made apologies.
"As for the $5,000, this sum was appropriated by the grand lodge to the New York committee of the appeals on the part of the committee for an appropriation to meet a deficit, which they claimed was $1,500. The grand lodge would not consent to meet one was of the committee of the office of it. Mr. Holsteinioners for this appropriation and now after the grand lodge heard his appeal he seeks to take advantage of it as cannage thunder in his candidate for the office of the grand exaltation." "But I am at pains foundersound why he enters such a strenuous objection to the payment of $2,500 to six Rise lawyers for the 2,000 lodges and over a quarter million members when he is paying a white lawyer a retainer of $10,000 a year to represent his local lodge, especially when it is represented by a representative and outstanding race lawyers like C. H. Dyett, Pope Billips and others."

FROE TO REMAIN AS RECORDER OF DEEDS
Opinion Seems Settled that West Virginian Will Not be Ousted from Position.
OFFICE EFFICIENT
WASHINGTON, D.C.-It seems more or less definitely settled that the Honorable Arthur G. Free is not to be disturbed in his present position as Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. During the past few months a number of States have brought forward candidates and have asserted their claims for recognition, but it seems that the "powers that be" have decided that there are no claims stronger than those of West Virginia.
OPINION REFLECTED.
The general consensus of opinion as reflected by the Negro press, is that there are hundreds of other positions to which colored men could apply to government without attempting to推销 a member of the race out of one in which he is meeting all the requirements of the position. He devoted more time and attention to the duties of his office than the present recorder, and in the face of many difficulties and much opposition he worked up to date, establishing a record for deeds offices of the country, and winning the approval of thoughtful members of Congress, his friend. Since the first of December transferrers of property have been able to call for their papers in twenty-four hours, or receive them by mail, not approximated by any of the larger cities of the country.

RALEIGH, N. C.—Despite the fact that the Rev. O. S. Bullock, pastor of First Baptist church, was freed of a charge of paternity preferred by the judge, the grapher, Miss Ella Matilda Evans, the case still occupies the stage in this state. After city authorities refused to take the case, the mass meeting in the Royal theatre, Sunday of last week, 1200 citizens gathered under the auspices of the Black Man's Life, Liberty and Happiness Council and gave over 3200 which was placed in Miss Evans' home to take the case to a higher court. At the trial in the lower court, Miss Evans declared that the Rev. Bullock, the pastor of her child. She testified that when she was about to become a mother, she appealed to the pastor and she said he promised to send her away to New York, and fix things up. She declared, engineered under the auspices of church officials, consisted of having her accept the intimate attention of James Davis, a married mar so that the blame for the child could be fixed
In this way, she testified, she told health authorities after the child was born that she was father and had it registered under that name. The main speaker at the mass meeting was the Rev C. A. Higgis, white evangelist, of Chicago, who made a plea for the protection of womanhood and a clean ministry. The Rev Mr. Bullock has fought the case successfully in the courts for over a year and is present victory in the court would settle the matter.

Legislation Limited to Farm Relief and Tariff, Says Senator James E. Watson.
MAY URGE ACTION
WASHINGTON.—No legislation particularly affecting colored people will be enacted during the special session of Congress.
Legislation during the special session will be limited (3) the purposes for which that session was called Senator James E. Watson, Republican, of Indiana, majority leader of the Senate, declared on the floor last Thursday.
Farm Relief Tariff
The Senate was in the process of taking up bills on the legislative calendar to which there was no objection when Senator C. C. Dill, Democrat, of Washington, raised the question whether there was not a general understanding: that legislation in the extra session would be limited to farm relief and tariff revisions. Senator Hiram W. Johnson, Republican, of California, declared that "no person or group of persons" could prevent the Senate from legislating. So far as the committee is concerned, said Senator Johnson, it will hold regular meetings and consider the bills referred to it and attempt, if the committee members so desire, to obtain "nobody questions the right of the Senate to legislate," said Senator Watson, "but the House has appointed no committees but those on aggrieved parties." It was thought wise not to pass a great deal of legislation here."
The session, he explained, had been called by the President for two specific objects and, consequently, there has been a common standing, followed practically in the House, that nothing else should be added.
Anli-Lynching Bill
"But committees 'have met and bills are on the calendar," said the major shareholder. "They shouldn't be considered and passed, but I know that the House won't pass them. I experience tells us that only bills for which the session was called will be passed. So far as I know, nobody has issued any order to the House, nor did it instate, and nobody has the power to." An anti-lynching bill is the only important measure introduced at this session, particularly at objects colored people.
Bullet Kills Boy
WASHINGTON. D. C. Jack Hart. 4. of Rock Spring. Md. died at Georgetown Hospital from a bullet wound in the chest. He was 22 when he and his brother, Peter, tried to disodge a bullet from a 22 caliber revolver.
Atlanta Sees Negro Art
ATLANTA, GA.-More than 3,300 people of both races visited the Harmon National Exhibit of Negro Art and Culture last two weeks at Soelman College and the Central Headquarters of the Y. M. G. A. The exhibit was sponsored by the Study Club beheaded by Professor Kemper Harreld.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Dixie congressmen are said to have seen "red" when Congressman Oscar DePriest and a number of his friends from Chicago were joined by Mrs Ruth Hanna McCormick, congresswoman-at-large from Illinois, in a cafe set aside for members of the House, last week.
According to reports, several protests were taken to the management who calmly stated that the arguments were of no avail because of the fact that DePriest is a congressman the same as they.
Some of the Southern members of the body, who have been accustomed to taking their meals in the cafe, have used the Senate dining room, but it is found out that this may not alleviate the situation because Congressman DePriest, also could take his dinners and lunches in the another way out was suggested, involving the serving of meals to the Southerners in the cloak rooms, but the health department is against such a plan as it is deemed unani-
It seems that about the only thing the Southern colleagues of Mr. De-Priest can do is to continue eating in the restaurant provided for them or carry out their threat to carry tunes baskets with them to their offices. Dixie is also sore because Mr. De-Priest, in addition to two colored secretaries, has also a white secretary who introduces them as the "secretary of the Congressman from the First Illinois District."

Weak and Nervous
MRS. S. Overton, of 1403
Thirteenth Ave., South,
Nashville, Tenn., writes:
"About a year ago, I had a nervous breakdown. I had been very much wired, but cared me so extremely nervous, so that I did not sleep well at night. I would wake in the morning feeling worm and haggard.
"I cannot say that I suffered so much pain—just weak, tired, crumpled, much about Cardul and how it helped other ladies, I decided to try it, as I was getting out of heart.
"After my first bottle, I rested better at night, so felt better in day time. I kept on taking Cardul, strong, Cardul did wonders for me."

LINCOLN, PA. — Sub-debs, debs, post-debs, and yes, chaperonettes. Howardides, Hampettides, Morganides, Chayneytes, Club-debs—to say nothing of bachelories and beneficents, who number themselves among the ones themselves the dignified, illustrious Alumni—in part—until they get to themselves, then they are the plain, ordinary, everyday up and down dolly
In this body you have the fans who hung over the wire peeped thru the screen, filled the grand stand and peered from dorm windows, and tos, at the feats being performed by the bronzed athletes on the cinder-pan. B. J. Redmond, B. T. Washington, W. E. Jawers, and A. Avery were supposed to perform at "Bristol" Sydnor, of Lincoln, set the work at 6 feet, 2 inches, for Williams of Hampton and Preston of Lincoln (second and third photos, respectively to eclipse. Assisting from the grand stand were the sporty clad Fanny Magny (center), and Terry Terry, Abscen, Fanny Duttruisle. Naturally the interest of many was divided, since there were exactly 15 events, the fifteenth being the Meldley Riley, and
Slim: Booker
The girls had heard so much of "Slim"
Booker (Union), that they were quite anxious
to see him in the courtroom. "He wasn't disappointed
to the yung unite. who won the 100-yard
dash."
Sighs of "Don't he me arrogant?" and hints
"Boy, you got away!" from both the
fair enthusiasts, and the worthy cohers
with "Stretch" Sydnor brought further
harels to his Alma Mater in the run-in.
Now all this time Hampton was not
sleeping one bit, and she edged into the
hallway. "We're doing this," Pellina
doing the honors, and Moore of
Wilberforce came a halfbreath behind
with 39 feet. Orosson of Alma Mater in
Hampton captured applaud from her rosters when
she left Lincoln and Chevney to trail in
second and third (in order named he-
amphed) in first. Morgan, second.
Lincoln Takes Mile
At the finish for "Finnish"—so termed by the late sports editor of the Philadelphia Post, who was a member of the Penn, has a work of monopoly on that lion of the one mile run. Lincoln was easy victor, with Bradley making one few feet ahead of his team mate. Ross, who came in just ahead of the Tachiomian Prat tunnel, and if anyone is laboring under the halationation that the petite and pretty were not excited over the outcome, converse with some of them at the close of such an athletic program. Wih-hy, one of the "heavy"奸 men, was the one who was the penalty for some sloppy on the part of a pole vaulter, and it was Mrs. P. T. Jamison who told him "right off the bar"—just her, so she there.
Pauline Young
Moreover, Pauline Young of Wilmington, was most anxious to glance through my eyes, but she was not missed. Phew! I secretly thanked my lucky stars that helped by "Junny" Morphy, and had filmed in those that the announcers failed to make clear—or "were"—the lighting up the countenances of those around me. Pauline and me other ones were the question: "When that two-mile run was over, weren't you just as tired as those who were plugging over those cities?"
Simultaneously: "You bet!"
Bradley Ahead
Here again Bradley comes in for some glowing tributes from the Oranges and Blue fans, the Rockets and the Grizzly, but broke Mitchell's record of last year. And if I hadn't been so hot, but not so cold, I didn't have jabbering so excitably 'bout it to Mr. John Marquess, who happened to positively that the time in which Bradley made it was 10 minutes, 20 and 4.5 seconds. We are here for the huge deetails, we are girls. We get a huge kick out of it because of the competition and to excel in the professional and technicalities, "just on general principles."
"Lou" Harmon was back to look the grounds over, and hunt up old faces of the class of a year ago. And surely enough, there apprehension, "Heep" Clair, St. Clair.
Those Present.
Among those whose presence added digging and distinction to the occasion were: Ms. George B. Murphy and Rev. W. W. Walker, Minister of Education, Scottsville, the Clarence Almonds, Lars. Frank Norris, Sr. and son, Attorney J. Austin Norris, accompanied by his baby daughter, Jetta, who is called by the very cuts, and appropriate pet name of "Bub."
Okay, before I go further, I'd like so much to learn the name of the winsome miss who was raving about a Union lete, and the other who was prettier and more Morgenite behind backs. An almost certain Breaux and Stanley would be equally as curious.
Mrs. Rose Norwood.
Others seen during the promenade were: Mrs. Rose Norwood in a modish ensemble of orchid, and a bird in green in green; Ray Olaye, popular New Yorker; Mrs. Elizabeth Saunders, Baltimore, in a bird in green in green; the whistle of having a triangular cut-out in back just below the neckline, and a streamer streamer, and a trimmed, stiffly and effective; Sylvia Labotts, pretty creature, and Howard coed-Gerald and Dot Ammonnet, and young
In mentioning the trophies, one must remark about the win by the Interstate won by Lincoln. The dance afterward, the reason for the 'stay-over', and the music club or band were the same.
Music Club.
My sisters, Fau and Mabel, report the exclusive little formal staged by the Music Club, the evening affair, and the concert held in the chapel, preceding this prom, as most delightful! But they aren't the only ones, many of those whose name was decorated designed both in very glowing terms. And the only thing missing at the final celebration was the "Hall, Ball, Inclub!" concert (s)? Or, there in super-hunquades.

Dr. Locke Talks
Dr. Alain Lucke, dean of philosophy, Howard University, of Young Friends, 15th and Race streets. His topic was, "The Negro's Contribution to society," and he talked, and given in Dr. Lucke's inimitable way. Among other things his discussion between the slave and the present day Negro is that the slave was submissive and manifested to resentment of the slave. In his question, the language, religion and customs of his master, and this civilization.
Dr. Locke said that "jazz" and its precursor, "ragtime," formed a form of the melodies, made popular by white producers and popularized by the hope—even the belief, that the educated Negro would take the real substance from the white world and fad-erate public. A money-mad, and fad-erate public.
Only Fifty High Grads
We readily agree with Mrs. Alice Dunbun-Nelson, that it is time to pause and pay attention to the important sociologists who have been instituting significant drives among the young people. But what of the hundreds of young people who are going to be the way side? It's true. You can lead a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink. Still it's worth noting that the young people are authoritative information up to the present shows that there will possibly be less than fifty colored girls and boys in College in June, unless some miraculous change takes place in the forthcoming "exams". The almost equally average of two graduates to a high school. There will be none from South Philadelphia high school for hope in June. Watch for the announcement of the number of graduates from elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. Is there something radically wrong? There must be. Are there separate marking standards for fairness, and which I am sure many would appreciate an answer. Unquestionably a follow up system of investigation would help pre-

APPORTIONMENT GIVEN RIGHT OF WAY IN SENATE
Bill to Reaportion 435 Seats in Congress, Now Set as Unfinished Business.
MAJORITY EXPECTED
Must be Disposed of at this Session of Congress. WASHINGTON. (CY)
WASHINGTON. (CNS) — After eight years of delay in defiance of the Constitution, a congressional reapportionment bill, granting States their proper representation, is finally before the Senate with prospects of action and prompt passage in the Upper House.
Stubborn opposition to Senator Vandenberg's bill which has been combined with the census bill of Senate, is immediately upon its presentation by the Michigan Senator Wednesday.
DIXIE KENNES HECKLE
Senators Swanson, Harrison and other Southern Democrats beckon for two hours but were unable to prevent the measure from being made the unfinished business on mother of Senator Hiram Johnson. This practically assures its passage by giving the right of way until it is acted upon.
While it might be displaced by a majority vote, it is well-known that a majority of the body is for: the Constitution cannot be displaced until the question of its final passage is disposed of. Twice the House has passed reapportionment bills, and twice they have been blocked in the Senate where the rule of unlimited debate made possible a filibuster which would have been defeated by the Constitution and defeat the will of the majority of the Senate.
NO TIME LIMIT.
There is no time limit on the present session of Congress, and while filibustering tactics may cause delay, filibustering journals, due to the strategy of Senator Johnson, who is in charge of the bill.
The bill provides that the 438 seats of Congress shall be reallocated the States on the basis of the 1930 Census.
Twenty-six States will be affected, gaining or losing seats as follows: Those which are expected to lose seats are: Kansas, Indiana; Kansas, Kentucky; Kentucky, Louisiana; Maine, Massachusetts; Mississippi; Missouri; Nebraska; Pennsylvania; Tennessee; Wisconsin. Those which are expected to gain seats under the proposed law are Arizona; California; Connecticut; Florida; Michigan; Connecticut; North Carolina; Ohio; Oklahoma; Texas,
POPULATION SHIFTED
The Negro population that has shifted its habitat is the one element represented by the failure of Congress to reduce the representation in the states from which they have migrated, and increase those to which they have gone. Approximately two million citizens who for decades have been denied the right to vote in Congress in the years, will gain representation to which they are entitled under a just reapportionment provided in the standing
OPPOSITION.
Opposition to the measure comes generally from three sources. States that will lose representation under reapportionment, and agriculture States which fear that reapportionment can concentrate more power in farm centers.

Baptists Condemn Lynching in South
MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Denouncing the lynching habit as a "badge of shame to our civilization," the Southern Baptist convention at its recent annual session in this city urged that every effort be made to build up and maintain "a public sentiment that will establish justice and banish from our borders the appalling practice of mob violence." The significance of this statement is found in the fact that the convention represses the practice in the South, with 20,000 churches and a membership of more than 3,800,000.
EVANSTON, ILL. — Because his congregation refused to leave the Second Baptist Church after the close of f. the services the Rev. Isaac Thomas ordered the police to clear the church.

FIGHT RENEWED FOR BALTO, CO. HIGH SCHOOL
Parent-Teacher Body Appoints New Committee to Take Matter to Board.
ELIMINATION TESTS
June 14 for Exams.
TOWSON, Md. — The fight to obtain a high school in Baltimore county was renewed here Friday evening when a large mass meeting of parents appointed a committee to organize a new protest and take the matter to the County Board of Education on June 4.
The meeting followed announcement of Superintendent of Education Clarence Cooper that tests for those the county will send to the Baltimore city high school next year will be held June 14.
The meeting was held in the Relief Association Hall and the committee, that will go before the Board June 4. are Charles J. Woodland, chairman; George Patterson, Hale thorp; Thomas Patterson, Catonsville; Mrs. M. A. Jackson, Cherry Heights; Rev. M. Tucker, Catonsville, and William E. Johnson, president of the Towson Parent-Teacher Association.
S1,000,000 Loan
One of the questions the committee will ask the board, is why they cannot have a high school appropriation out of the $1,000,000 county bond issue authorized by the last session of the legislature? They will point out that already an additional high school for whites in the eastern section has been planned out of this bond issue and that while there are already 11 white high schools, colors, children have none, and in addi. they are denied high school training by the county even when they have qualified by having enough passed grammar school requirements.
"Elimination" Exams
The parents will also protest again to the board against the manner in which the "elimination" tests work. In 1926 the County School Board made an arrangement whereby those who finished the elementary department would be transferred at county expense to the Baltimore City high schools. That year 70 were so transferred. It cost in the neighborhood of $50 each to send these pupils to Baltimore schools and the follow year the Board set out what tests. Out of 78 taking these tests, only 11 passed. Investigation by the parent-teacher body showed that some of the most brilliant students in the county had been "flunked." They set up a howl. The result was that the Board qualified 30 additional students.
Tests Unfair
According to the president of the parent-teacher body, these tests have been held solely for the purpose of "eliminating" students so as to reduce the expense to the county. These tests have been announced for June 14 at Resterville, Sparrows Point, Catonsville, and Towson.
No Supervisor
Students attend unsupervised, and must pay their own expenses, he said.
Another point the committee will take up with the Board is the question of county supervision. According to Mr. Johnson, Superintendent Cooper is outspoken against the appointment of a supervisor and so stated to a committee which waited on him some time ago.
At one time, he said, he suggested the teachers decide upon candidate for supervisor, but dropped the matter when they unanimously selected Jesse Nicholas, principal of Towson's school.
10 White Highs
There are at present ten white high schools in the county. There are no colored high schools. There are 101 white grammar schools and 30 colored grammar schools.
Law Mandatory
Chapter 17, paragraph 192 of the public laws of the State of Maryland provide the county boards shall have authority to establish high schools subject to the approval of the State Superintendent of Schools in their respective counties.
Paragraph 193 provides that these high schools shall be arranged into two groups. High schools in a group shall be followed in following minimum requirements: (a) they shall have an enrollment of not less than thirty bona fide high school pupil and an average daily attendance of not less than twenty-five: (b) they shall employ not less than two full time academic teachers for hl school work; (c) they shall provide a four years course of instruction of not more than 180 actual school days each year.
High schools of the second group shall fillfill the following minimum requirements: (a) they shall have an enrolment of not less than fifteen bona fide high school students and an average daily income of not less than $10,000. (b) they shall employ one full time teacher of the academic branches; (c) they shall provide a two years' course of instruction of not less than 180 actual school days each year. Mandator. Chapter 18, paragraph 200 makes it mandatory that the county board of education establish one or more public schools in each election district for all colored youths, between the ages of six and twenty; years to be kept open not less: than 160 days or eight months in each year. High schools of the third group elementary school at 14 and 15 and this stipulation makes it compulsory to provide high schools of at least four years to live up to the letter of the law provided in this paragraph.

Natives are of equal value with Europeans in the sight of God, said Dr. Neville, bishop of Pretoria, South Africa, last week: but there should be social differentiation and no intermarriage. In their words, black and white are going to the same heaven but en route they shouldn't eat and sleep together. Bishop Neville isn't the first hysterical Nordic to dictate to God. Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany tried it, and what happened to him everybody knows. The fact that the Creator made mating of the races possible, and that it has continued unfettered by law except in the United States and in South Africa, seems a fair indication that He hasn't any objections to it, even though He may not favor it.

Greater advances have been made in Haiti in the past seven years than in the preceding one hundred years. it is slated by Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, white. American High Commission to Haiti, and the State Department just made an announcement by the State Department.
General Russell reported that the Haitian debt had been reduced by $1,053,748.01 in the past year, and now stands at $1,887,823.01.
When the United States marines intervened in Haiti in 1991, they did not donor W. H. Ishmael (Haiti) that country did not owe us a penny and could have discharged all its obligations to others within a few years without any foreign loans.
Haiti boasts that it has never defaulted on its financial obligations in one hundred and twenty years. By 1922 under United States rule, Haiti owed $6,971.84. In seven years of American control and "unprecedented progress," Haiti was compelled to borrow $23,680,000 from the United States and has been forced to agree to United States terms. When Uncle Sam went to Haiti he signed a treaty agreeing to leave in 1925.
Looking closely then, at the "progress" referred to by General Russell, we presume he means, the United States government has that its originally planned, financial control.
To be sure, Uncle Sam has vaccinated Haiti; has built roads and schools, has cleaned up cesspools and purified waters; but black Haiti prefers to run its own home and resents the influence of the French. Other "progress" effected by Uncle Sam has been itemized by Haitian patriots as follows:
2. Currency depreciated and, as former Vice-President Dawes admits, an antiquated financial system instituted. Land laws changed so that for the first time alen whites have been permitted to own land. 4. The whites have brought prostitution and social diseases to the natives. Judged by any standard of humanity, Uncle Sam's violations of sovereignty in Haiti, Nicaragua and Panama are Black spots in American history. It's not color prejudice, but love of money, and greed masquerading under the guise of civilization of Haiti and Nicaragua may be肮 Salvador, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Columbia or Venezuela at any time. Some day there'll come a reckoning. Greedy Uncle Sam who overrups other countries, makes them borrow money from him and then dictates how it will be spent, will get cared for, then well be taught a lesson in good manners.
A Cowardly State
Stephen Jenkins, 65, Mississippi black farmer, preferred death to slavery, and he's dead. He carried McBrayer, 35, his white landlord, Back of this double killing is the peonage system of the Southern States—inhuman, basically illegal and devised by a cowardly group of whites to keep Negroes forever ignorant, poor and dependent. Jenkins had a man, contracted with McBrayer, that his age, to make a crop, rain, flood and ignorance made a fair return impossible. Jenkins declared himself bankrupt and left. Under Mississippi law which permits a arrest of a jobless man, McBrayer bankrupt and to compel him to return by force. Jenkins defended himself and in a fight, killed the young bully.
Then a lynching mob of Mississippi Christians shot old man Jenkins to death. Jenkins isn't responsible for this crime. He loyally sacrifices him, a man will sacrifice his life for freedom. McBrayer isn't wholly to blame, though he got what was coming to him. The State of Mississippi which encourages peonage, which possesses impunity, debt, and punishes no lynchers, cannot escape full blame.
Mississippi black men have the right of all Americans to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The county State has placed itself across their path.
One remedy is to more; and Mississippi farmers are leaving by the hundreds for States more humane and more impartially administered. For those who remain we hold up the example of old mankinds of the tribe, at 63, exercised the right of trial, to the right of freedom; and, like a true hero, died for it.

I want to go back where the west begins
Where the hillops meet the sky;
And the golden fields sweep again
Are a rest to the weary eye.
I want to go back to the west again,

For there my soul is at its peace.

What Causes Different Colors Among Human
Races One of Life's Mysteries, Says This
Reader.
To the Editor:
No one knows positively why colored people are colored. But scientists suggest several possible reasons. They land the land, they say, the darker its people. Germans and English are fair, but Italian, Spaniards, Portuguese and Egyptians are dark. The tropical islands are people with brown-skinned folks and so is India. The fact that the sun burns our skin a dark tan if we give it half a chance during the summer, when it is more nearly overhead than in other seasons. Still other students say that it is a matter of fact. The truth of the matter is that the secret of why the skin of one race has a different color from the skin of another human being is one thing. But the truth is that if we know the reason it might make the world a safer place is live in, for it would be oohly rid
If we knew the reason, I would rid the earth of many of its jitter hatred and fears. J. MYERS, Rockaway, N. J.

Connection by Bishop J. Albert Johnson.** To the Editor: May I inform you to the end that you may be relieved of the last issue of your very excellent paper, as relates to me and the Baltimore Annual Conference of the A.M.E. Church? nor was I ever suspended by the late Bishop J. Albert Johnson. In 1922 he attempted to demote me to the priesthood, but against the expressed will of the Conference as evinced by its unanimous vote. His effort was dictatorial and not Episcopal. In his concession to maintain was the cause of my perpetual defiance him.
The Civil Courts of the District of Columbia and South Carolina vindicated my family rejoice. This is also true of the concordance petition. This is also true of the North Carolina Conferences of the A.M.E. (church with the city) in my home, my ministry with the city, and Johnson, they alone found reasons in my conduct and family relations to condemn me, not officially, but with respect to my ministry and had more appreciation for their condemnation than I had respect for either or both of them. In making this statement of fact I am conscious of the negative influence of the same ministry in which I purchased by efficient service the right to serve. But I am not so sure of the fact that my ministry them at the expense of my personal and ministerial freedom. The negative influence of both of these late paternal chancery of more spiritual value to me than their most beneficial gifts could possibly have been.

Brooklyn Reader Would Debate With Alexandra Foster on Question of Souls' Immortality. The Rev. N. Howard Staunton, of Alexandra, Va. has expressed a desire to debate on the subject: "The Immortality of the Soul." To begin with, I have read the definition of immortality. My definition is the life of a being is its "soul," the lower animals also are "souls." (See Num 31-40.)
Men have not yet discovered the elements of life. Sir Oliver Lodge, a physicist, claims to have discovered them in Inasmuch as we hr.v not discovered all the elements of life, or the substance of the "soul," what seems to be more vital to the colorate world would be a debate on the subject: Is it worth it to be colored? Consideration that the colored brother in these United States of America is the owner of church property, the value of which is, in round number, 19283, and in 19286, and that we are i1-crowded all the way up from the coal yard to the U.S. Senate, it is high time that we directed our energies and dollars to President Herbert Hoover, in a letter to Eugene Kincleib Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, among other things, said: "We have discovered that we can achieve economic independence." Enough said, though he might have added, jim-crowmish in all or become a power in economics.

dollars for some pseudo-Word of God, prescheduled. He will give his opinion of the Bible, except it be a favorable opinion. Otherwise, it would be unfavorable—at this stage—to their business. We expect them to revise the Bible, and Rev. Staunton, in my opinion, you'll have no Rev. Staunton in defending the Bible when it is thoroughly exposed.

The colored brother, sweating up from slavery, pauses now and then to take a picture of him today, and I gather from the reports issuing out of it that there is a considerable satisfaction in dark society. This is pleasant to contemplate, for the dark brethren have had a hard time in the world, and every boon in their lives has been a gift.

My belief as a sinner partisan is that, on the whole, their failings are the result of their own actions and that their present situation is far less cheerful than most of them appear to think.

BLOG
The first is the organization of their people into a coherent and reasonably steadfast bios, capable of acting, when the need arises, for the formulation of a programme for it, with clear and attainable goals. The last. I suppose, should go first, for unless there is an aim, it will be no effective organization. The old division between the ideology of W. E. Burghardt DuBois and the ideology of Booker T. Washington is as wide and deep as the division between which it turns its back on both. That movement seems to get very little attention, even from NGO publicists, but it is visible and significant none the less. The third is the organization of the DuBois is all for challenge and defiance, then this third wing follows the philosophy of lalissez faire. It is the easy contentment, the easy opportunity of black Babbittity.
TONEY FOLK.
His stronghold is among Negro business and professional men, especially in the big cities. Here a dark bourgeoisie begins to learn, and, in the end, becomes a charming character that one will find in any other. One hears of Negro luncheon clubs. Negro councils, clubs, and organizations, "classies," and all the rest of it. A native and imbecile class consciousness, grounded upon money, wipes out the old race consciousness and the old way of life. There is no contact with either the intellectuals who carry on their forlorn crusades above, or the masses who wallow in darkness below. The Negro is not being a good Negro but being a toney one.
Its stronghold is among Negro business and professional men, especially in the big city. They are the ones who know, and it shows the same depressing characters that one will find in any other. One hears of Negro juncheon clubs, Negro football "classics," and all the rest of it. A naive and imbecile class consciousness, grounded upon money wipes out the Negro football "classics" and discreditable. There is no contact with either the intellectuals who carry on their forlorn crusades above, or the masses who willow in darkness below. The Negro is not being a good Negro, but being a money one.
ELMER GANTRY
Elmer Gantry, of course, marches after Mr. Babbit, and at his usual respectful distance, Mr. Babbit, and at his usual respectful distance, and half knave. His victims are the hordes who are even more ignorant than himself. Ostens, and the saving of souls; actually, it is the advancement of his own fortunes. Religion among the lower classes of blacks thus becomes more important, and cost them far more than any variety ever practised by their white masters. Not only in the villages, but in the cities, they have paid one hundred and endless squeezing. It goes on week and week out, year after year; there is never any let-up. The moment they have paid one hundred and endless squeezing, the leadership that manages this evil business is inordinately bold, callous and vicious. It is not our fault, it is not our fault, the Negro toilers; it is also responsible, quite as much as the dearth of schools, for their simian ignorance. . . . It is a waste of time, lynchers, and then resign them to revivalists.
NEGRO BABBITT
The problem of the Negro Babbitt is easier. It will probably work itself out. There is, indeed, some advantage to Negroes over Negroes, a few years back were leaping from the cotton-field to the groves of learning with dangerous precipitancy. They lacked the capital to see them through so easily, and they were so largely to this day. Worse, they took on their cargeos of culture without giving prudent thought to their markets, and multitudes of them thus found themselves with unusable goods on their
THRIFT.
It is always well for an aspiring group to make thrift its chief virtue. The only really sound programmers are the realist, the grotger realists, insurance magnates, bootleggers and other grotesque upstarts of today are accumulating a fund which, in the long run, will be one of the most conceivable white philanthropy. Their sons and grand-sons, tiring of golf, will turn either to worse things or to better ones. We are not sure if all of them will come a new leadership, and it will be more effective than any ever seen in the past, for it will be grounded in the values of the people. The Negro leader of today is not free. He must look to white men for his very existence, and in consequence he has to waste a lot of his time and energy in the search for a peer is leaders who can and will think black.
MONEY
When they appear, with money behind them, they are often the ones behind him goes unregarded in America, be he white, black or blue. But no man without is can be a Black Babbler. Self. Thus Black Babbler may turn out to be a more useful man in the long run, than other Black Babbler men. His black sabbaton in his diamond-studded e鼻-fank
"REFLECTION"
When the dawn steals above the horizon
When the open my eyes from slumber
When I open my eyes from slumber
My first thoughts, dear one, are of you.
I see your bright face, by my bedside,
I hear your sender voice call
At the door of the treetops
When the shadows of evening fall.
All through the day you are with me,
Cheering me through my eyes,
Leading me on a destruction,
An aweward life I go.
When I see your sweet image before me,
The hours like minutes by by
And the days like together
In the twinkling of an eye.
Again 'tis time for sweet slumber,
The sunlight no more is seen;
And you see again in my dreams.

To the editor:
When the upper-classman of one of our leading

be asked.
By a count of almost two to one, the upper-
classman at Lincoln recently voted against a

Lincoln University Students Desert Their Own Teen Editor: When the upper-classmen of one of our leading universities exhibit what seems to be an "inferiority complex." It is certainly high time to by a count of almost two to one, the upper-classmen at Lincoln recently voiced against a mixed faculty. This action not only was regretted, but it also led to the "The Negroes His People." It indicates that something is radically wrong at Lincoln, the cornering of which should concern every thinking student. These students made the starting revelation that they have no confidence in Negro teachers, and that they must choose a student whose must have grown out of their environment, which to say the least, is an unhealthy one if it develops an "inferiority complex." The students of civilization is CONFIDENCE to mortar that holds the parts together is COOPERATION, and the embellishment that beautifies the structure is CONFIDENCE to a school that does not develop a unified respect for the students' OWN PEOPLE must ultimately send out its graduates unprepared to solve the intricate problems of life.

Vindictive Law
Enforcement.
I would help enforce the Eighteenth along with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments if I could; I would help enforce the Eighteenth and a part of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth, if it need be; I would join in the enforcement of the Eighteenth without reference to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth if forced to such a necessity.
Victims of: Annulment.
President Hoover has announced his purpose to appoint a commission to injure into the feasibility of a more efficient enforcement of the laws of the United States, both constitutional and statutory. The flagrant violation of the Eighteenth Amendment lay at the foundation of this worthy purpose. It was but natural that the victims of the anpulsion of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment should insist upon emphases being placed upon the enforcement of these anpunions of the organic law. The announcement of the President furnishes occasion for the Negro to put in his plea for the civic and political equality guaranteed by the War Amendments to this Constitution.
The President is justly hold by ethical responsibility to give equal consideration to the enforcement of all provisions of the Constitution which it is his bound due to the unlawful enforcement in expending millions of dollars on one constitutional amendment while completely ignoring other amendments or even more flagrantly flouted.
Not Sincere.
I very seriously doubt that much of this noisy contention for the equal enforcement of law is genuine because it is a defense of vindictive argument. "It is more often than not used as a cloak to conceal the real purpose of embarrassing the noble purpose of enforcing the laws against liquor. I heard a distinguished congressman declare from the public platoon that he would enforce the interest in the Eighteenth Amendment unless or until the nation asserted itself on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of fact, this particular congressman was bitterly opposed to prohibition and would not change his opposition, even if every portion of the law united us with spiritly uphold the letter and spirit.
Wisconsin.
The legislature of Wisconsin passed a set of resolutions resolving the Fourteenth and Fifteenth and Prohibition and Anti-immigration and Anti-immigration Congress like treatment of the and the other. But the same legislature passed a provision refusing on the one hand to allow the government with the Federal government in the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. The sinister purpose is obvious. The easy apparent object of the resolution is its endeavor to make the nation dry and Wisconsin also with it. One cannot conceal one's own intentions. The resolution consists of others. Wisconsin wishes the Federal government to treat the human rights amendments the same as it does the prohibition and anti-immigration laws, have the latter provision annulled.
Chicago Council.
Vindictive Attitude.
It does not seem to me that anything is to be gained by this vindication, nor is it part of the Constitution by another, or negating one nullification with another leads to nowhere. The Constitution is all of its provisions must be respected or the whole fabric is undermined. Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were inserted for worthy, patriotic aims which have no legal basis. All of its provisions must be respected or the liquor traffic. These amendments must stand or fall on the basis of their own merit. They need not be violated by the law, but a violated control traffic in beverage which proves to be dangerous to public life and morals. By Hoover it was called the Hoover to enforce the Constitution; but let us not tie his hand by insisting that he shall not enforce one provision until he can enforce every provision.
I stalked at the recent Durham East-Finding Conference that the state's law enforcement is calculated to dispose, the nation to observe other portions of the law, and the nation to enough to believe that the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment would lead to the immediate enforcement of the Fifteenth. But I am emphatic in the belief that the flagrant violation of the organic law guaranteeing the Male Pole and civil equality. I must maintain that the observance of one law leads to the observance of all laws. We must regard for an law leads swiftly to the disregard for every law. One misdied always begets another one.
Widespread Sentiment.
As we face the country today, there is a need to force the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amend-
In Darker Baltimore
BY RALPH MATTHEWS
Impressions of a Returning Baltimore
Have you ever stopped to think what the report to the Smithsonian Institution would contain should some adventuresome young explorer suddenly take up the trail of the old B. & O. railroad and follow it to its source and there find at the end of his journey that ancient and forgotten city known to antiquity as Baltimore? It is only after you have been away for a spell that you realize that in spite of seeming activity Baltimore is the past. I would like to imagine a scribe on that noble expedition and my imaginary report would probably read as follows:
Gentlemen-
After trudging many weary miles that led us further and further from all traces of modern civilization, we finally entered a subterranean tunnel which brought us out into the crumbling city of Baltimore, which was identified as the old southern metropolis of Baltimore. It was about dusk on the night of May 18 in the year of the Civil War, and of travelers we had met en route, we did not go towards the center of the town but made our way towards the western part of the city, which were related with people of Negrio extraction: (Note-Even though the city was crumbling in decay the lines of caste and race were as definite as the city was in its splendor.)
That we had been ill advised concerning the program, we progressively apparent when we, footrests and hungry from our journey, sought food and we found only musty cook shops, dirty and uninviting. The fare in most cases was a peculiar national dish, very four. These with the feet of swine and fish baked to a yellow crisp, duck and duck-were offered in marts of the places that graced the main (thoroughfare known by the unproven name duck-ease). (To be treated at length in later chapters). Finally, after being almost forced to exhume, we located one place which served a semblance of American food. We ravenously understood our wants and served us.
Finding an abode for the night was an exceedingly hard job. The tavail convenes actually filth, without modern conveniences and poorly lighted. The tavern keepers were discourteous and the members of our party attributed this to the fact that we were recognized as members of our party, it was Saturday night most of the rooms were already well filled with natives. (Note—A peculiar religious tradition at the Sabbath nears, men and women signifying their names on the registers as Mr. and Mrs. repair to the church, and the Sabbath and meditation until the dawn.) Having deposited our luggage and proceeded on foot to inspect the market places. We again reached Pennsylvania avenue and lost ourselves in the street, understanding the strange babble of tongues that resembled closely our own language except for a broad acceptance that made it almost unimpossible.
There was a jovial bolsturousness about this crowd which surged to and unmistakable Negrid types, the merchants were of Semetic descent. The merchants time after time dark skinned natives have tried to establish places of their own and this the business of dismal failure. This is unexplainable, but nevertheless true.
The markets are the markets of India. Bind beggars parade the streets asks alms and crooning weird tensions to the accomodation of small dingy shops come the blatant sounds of mechanical music known as the ten to these melancholy strains with their words that appeal to their morals. There a medicine man holds a crowd of vapys with his tricks and cure-all limiments. The markets were crowded with people who laugh most gleefully whenever an one is hurt or killed. The natives is hard to explain on fathom.
While we had no opportunity to study the social side of the city, we had a class distinction and some form of primitive society based on what they knew. The dwelling take little or no interest in the civil life of the metropolis and content themselves with what is most important to them, which is precious little. The most outstanding and undominating business of the city are bourne and barber shops and the nasstime seems to be a queer came known as "numbers." The people are bourne and barber shops and earn very low wages; the greater portion of which is used to build churches and nay the men of Gd. The men is used to buy food and clothing.
We found our skay instructive and surprising as we little imagined him and his institution such conditions existed. There is indeed an opportunity here for us to learn and to any steps taken in this direction would not be amiss. This report is respectfully submitted to you. We are forwarding specimens which we feel will be of rare educational value and will aid you in your museum for the study of ancient history.

ment, but utter indifference to the amendments in which the Negro is primarily concerned. Congress will vote a desired number of million dollars for one, but not one mill for another.
The practical question for the Negro community is to comprehend and join in the unfriendly sentiment against prohibition because he is denied his protection. He is a good sportman, fall in with the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, with regard to his suicere devotion to law enforcement; hold the nation to high conformance with the Constitution, in all of its parts and provisions. I would help enforce the Eighteenth Amendment; if I could, I would help enforce the Eighteenth and parts of Fifteenth; if I could, I would help enforce the Eighteenth and parts of Fifteenth; if I could, I would join in the enforcement of the Eighteenth, with regard to Fifteenth; if forced to such necessity,
Africa As Is
BY DR. DANIEL DAVENPORT
in the New York World
NOTE—Dr. Davenport was the only survivor of a Canadian expedition to West Africa. The journey of 7,500 miles took five years.
"There is some truth to the statement that on the West, Coast, the language and customs of the natives change every ten miles. No native knows much of the country beyond his own bivalve. We took our guides from village to village as a rule.
"We had 150 boys most of the time, representing six tribes because if you didn't obtain them from more than one tribe you are at their mercy when in the interior. If you have boys from six tribes, for instance, and one starts to make trouble, one of the other five groups is sure to turn informer.
Cut Animal's Throat
**Cut Animal's Threat**
"Some of our boys were Mohammads and when we shot animals for food they would run up and slit the animal's throat. They must do this before it is cold-halting, the procedure is called; otherwise you could not touch the meat. And to kill often because we carried no more food with us, was absolutely necessary, in obedience to the first moment of exploring-leave behind you everything you don't need and depend upon the land for as much food as you can. We carried no liquor with us because it meant adding to the load and it reduced resistance, making one susceptible to disease. One chap I knew on a bit of a binge. He held his Iiquor all right, but when he went to bed that night he left the mosquito net up. He died of yellow
Run Telephone System
"The Negroes have advanced to the extent that on the west coast, which is the most remote and almost handling their own country. For instance, the official telegraph and telephone system is entirely from the Superintendent of Communications down to the lowest level to Antwerp or Brussels for their training. Discipline there is strict, and the most equitable toward the Negroes.
Filming Animals
"One day we filmed a tarantula being hatched. The 'shot' I like best through, is one of a huge python sitting on a branch. We are in a cluster, like buns, about ready to hatch when we were taking the picture. The mother fought fiercely, especially when we took hold of one of the eggs and cracked the shell, which is like a broken egg. The mother was broken, up sprang a little python eighteen inches long; its first instinct was to strike, like its mother, although the venomous. Driver Ants "One of the most remarkable 'shots' is of driver ants. These insects are of a long, progress in a series of perpetual leaps, attacking in a phalanx-mass and destroying all living things. They mount the highest tree to devour any creature seeking refuge in its branches; they will then jump from a tree that is any of any animal that may be below.
"Literally, when they come in sight, every living thing flies. To face these terrifying insect-canidates, advance photographically, is the most dangerous sort of work. If there is the least unwarriness, the driver ants are likely to be upon him. If there is no unwarriness, inserts his mandible, his body can be pulled from his head before his grip will be broken. Only by digging into the flesh and making contact, can his mandible be extricated.
Strip Off Flesh
"In their慧颖 advance drive of animals and human beings alike, and in the film a hyrax - a rat-like animal, the ant climbs up after him with incredible swiftness and are seen every shred of flesh from his bites.

Michigan Gives
Lawyer a Birthday.
School boys and girls looking for

in Robert J. Willis, veteran at

Detroit has just established
an official birthday.
Mr. Willis, believing to be the
oldest lawyer at the state, will
celebrate this state-made birthday
February 12, and will then be
ninety years of age.
According to records, "Bob Willis

Lawyer Willis has had an adventurous career which ranges from an insurrection in Mexico to firing the Kluan Kluan to the South and through the process of law many cases and women from their clutches.
Benjamin P. Butler, an associate of B. Willis, and a journalist, is the author of his book which gives an insight into the life of this quaint old character. From a historical point of view, Catee G. Woodson is doing an in-depth recording for posterity incidents in the life of colored folk; but the romance and the tragedy, the daring, the adventure, and the adventure which fountains in lives of some of these older lives of some of these older women, now fast disappearing, should be preserved in the literary efforts of the group.
The Lynching of
Coming out of Lake City, Florida, a woman was an unusual lynching story. Because a wife shot a skiffle in the shoulder as they were taking a picture, the white grocer, to prison on a minivan, a mob took the latter from a body with bullets. Perelman shot his body and venerated this mob from lynching the white woman who did the shooting the sheriff, but did not die. Lynchers have been developed during these wars in the practice of lynching colored for lynchers, like young lions tasting blood, soon grow muscular and devour their own friend. Lynchersence, not on the victim who dies, but on the twisted and who who take part in it and like.

There is no question about the truth of this statement, and the influence them; but we would again like to call to the attention of our own people the local color still untouched in various parts of the country, especially the South.

WASHINGTON. (CNS) — Prince Hosea K. Nyabango, his apparent to the throne of Uganda, a protectorate of British East Africa, has definitely abolished the throne in favor of his younger brother.
The Prince, a student at Howard university, was waited upon by envisaries of the King of England last week, concerning his return to Uganda and the throne made vacant by the death of the king; his father, WOULD take the crown if he take the crown is based upon a desire to serve the best interests of his fellow-countrymen by the introduction of several innovations and much needed items. He feels the crown is necessary and its allegiance to the British Empire, would handicap him, making it impossible to work for better conditions among his people and accomplish his most cherished aim.
The kingdom of Uganda has an area of 110,000 square miles lying between Lakes Albert and Victoria, with the Nile river populating it more than 3,500,000.

LINCOLN LIONS WIN 4TH ANNUAL MEET
Five Records Broken as Schools and Clubs Compete at Pennsy School.
HAMPTON IS SECOND
Sterling, of Morgan College Breaks 440-Yd. Record.
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY. Pa.—(Special)—The Orange and Blue of Lincoln University hosted at the top of the victory pole here Saturday, when the Lion Athletics ran, jumped, and tossed their way to victory in the fourth annual Lincoln Open Track and Field Championships.
Scoring seven first places, sweeping clean in one event, and counting points in all but two events, the Rainey men scored a total of 41 points to capture the meet. Hampton was second with 33 points, and Morgan College, with 12 points, was third.
Five Lincoln meet records were broken and several closely approximated. Sydnor of Lincoln set a new high jump record when he leaped 6 feet, 2 inches, while Bradley clipped 1 3-5 seconds off the mile run record when he was clocked in the time of 4:44 2-5. Anderson of the Dartt Club, broke his own record of 1928 for the discus throw, with a heavy of 133 feet, 7 inches. The old record was 133 feet.
Sterling Breaks 440 Record
Russell Sterling, Morgan College track captain, showed his heels to a fast field to win the 440-yard dash in 51-3-5 seconds, bettering by one-second second, the record set last year. Lee, of Lincoln, hit 11 feet (1' 1") in the money. The hawk record by 6 units, "Shim" of Boar of Va. Union, won the 100-yard dash in 10 second: but in the 220-yard dash found himself boxed by the field of runners and the crowd. Lincoln copied all of the places in this event which was won by Luke.

BENEDICT DEAN IS NOT LILY-WHITE
DENIES STATEMENT
Local Body Does Not Bar Colored, He Says.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Denying that he had made a statement to a correspondent of this paper that Dean Frederick C. Redfern of Benedict College is a lilywhite Republican, New York, he had paired with fold the AFRO-AMERICAN this week that his opinion of the Rev. Mr. Redfern is just the opposite.
The Republican statement followed a story in a recent edition of this paper in which it was stated that Dean Redfern was aligned with Republicans who were against the state in affairs of the state and that his wife was a member of the Republican State committee.
"The fact is," he declared, "the (Redfern) has allied himself with and been very active in the regular political process, but no time attempted to bar colored people from participation therein. It is a fact, however, that Mrs. Redfern, the Republican Committee, but she was elected by the regular Republican organization of this state which said organization, constituted largely of people."
For some time Dean Redfern has been the center of a fight among students and alumni of Benedict College growing out of the school. He alleged to have been conferred upon him by Providence University, was not genuine.

DILLWYN, Va. (Special)—As a result of a test given by Professor Thomas L. Dabney, principal of Buckingham training school, to 497 high school students in 19 public schools of the State, the startling revelation is made that the students know little if anything about race history.
MADAM WALKER ALIVE.
The test, given in the form of a questionnaire, covering the life and career of the student to the present time, disclosed the information that 300 of the 497 had never heard of Florence Mills or Ethel Waters, and that most of them thought that Mr. Maggie L. Walker, the Madam banker, was Madam Walker.
Less than one-third of the students were familiar with the purpose and activities of the N.A.A.C.P. and 118 of the students were the founder of Tuskegee. Of the total number taking the test, only 80 are regular readers of race periodicals, only 25 reading the Crisis regularly and 36 reading a Virginia newspaper. 150 of these students are not familiar with the life and works of Frederick Douglass, Phyllis Whestley, Paul Lawrence Dumbar, Roland Hayes, W. E. B. DuBois and other people of race. NO RACE HISTORY TASK. Most of the students "showing the questionnaire were from the eighth and ninth grades of rural high schools and some of the best rural schools and city schools did not submit papers in the test. Most of the students did not submit race history and achievement are not taught, and in practically all of the 18 schools given the test, race history is mentioned only incidentally in the regular history courses. Students can one or more books by race authors, Booker T. Washington's "Up From Slavery," leading the list.

YOUNG SCORES
Makes Hit in Role of Meddlesome Professor.
The dramatic club of the Funnie Coppin Normal School made their initial bid for public favor in two one act plays in the auditorium of the School in McCullah and Lanceville streets, Saturday night.
The presentations were made under the capable direction of Mrs. Janette Slayen, who well received by the large audience.
Of the two offerings, the latter, "A Case of Suspension," was most pleasing as the play was presented with a polish and finish that the first play "The Crimson Cocanut" tacked.
The 1st presentation was edy variety in the group of male characters, all of the parts including female characterizations. While many comic situations were developed the play was poorly written and sced with a boisterous tone that robbed the entertainment value it might have possessed. The cast was composed of Henry Horsey, Arthur Leon DeMille Milburn, Dennis Flannigan, Clarence Lee, and Thurman Mallery. Young Scores James Young was by far the most convincing character in his portrayal of a meddlesome villain, second offering. His realism left nothing to be desired and did much to lift this out of the ranks of amateurism. While of a decidedly sophisticated nature, his genuine laughing and with the much too childish ending, deleted and the play snapped off at the point when it reaches its climax, he bears repeating in all circular circles.
The play dealt with some young women who planned to have a number of college boys "whopee" party. With the aid of a rope and a basket, they hoisted them to their rooms, but much to their surprise on one trio they found they were hollowing the skirts of their princesses who discovered the plot and invited himself to the party. He was left surrendered, however, until he promised to keep to the party to join the party. He was the life of the party when the school president a confirmed old maid entered unexpectedly. She was likewise complicated and a lovely time was had, but last consisted of the Misses Mildren Bouldin. Robinette Male, Catherine Bouldin. Irma George and Katherine Bass. James Jackson.

The synocopie of Fess Williams' "Royal Flush" orchestra, made dancers who paid admission to the three dances he played here recently forget their past, and to enjoy the "Wampus" blues and his gang started their Baltimore bombardment on Saturday night when they were the guests of "Bill" Gambay at the Mansion, which was Sunday (but it began after midnight), the Flushes were at the Odd Fellows for a midnight ramble the strains of their music made the patrons rapt with delight, when their final efforts to turn Baltimore into a Williams subsidiary was made Monday when Ike subsidyed them to disseminate their warriors to the Royals. The Royals boys enjoyed their stay here, the customers enjoyed the music and the promoters enjoyed the gate receipts. So everybody's happy now.
I am somewhat in stating my line, I take pleasure in stating that there is a commodo dance salon on the new steamer Avalon. The management will advertise the many new features of the boat at a date in the future.
With the approach of "not weather" it is believed that the dance team will be able to many of their clientele as they will seek cool places of enjoyment, but officials of the local halls claim that they are installing cooling plants. The team will doubt. If hall operators think they can keep a hall cool with several hundred people cool and then keep a cool but while dancing. MORE POWER TO THEM.

CHANCE TO REPENT IN PURGATORY
A.M.E. Ministers Discuss Immortality at Weekly Meeting.
OFFICERS INSTALLED
Body May Hold Closing Session in Frederick, Md.
"Purgatory is a prison house where souls have: chance to repent," declared the Rev. W. M. Ivy, in a discussion of a paper on Personal Immortality at the A.M.E. Preachers meeting Monday.
The paper, read by the Rev. J. J. Baker, was a lengthy discussion of the Biblical interpretation of death and the hereafter.
Same Character
Summing up the various beliefs as to whether this mortal body is raised from the dead or whether the soul alone goes into the after life, the Rev. Mr. Baker declared, "The final reward of the righteous and the doom of the wicked. Heaven and Hell, life and death are seen. When a man is dead, he is dead. When a man soweth, that shall he also reap." "Death transplants us out of this world with which we are unchanged, and death transplants us with the character which in this world we have made for ourselves unchanged into that unfamiliar world beyond. We judge ourselves as, He judges us."

Pa. Daily News Hits at Naval Academy Jim-Crow
PHILADELPHIA, PA.—The Philadelphia Daily News (white) commenting on the appointment by Congressman Oscar DePriest of a Negro to the Naval Academy at Annapolis said editorially May 20.
Negro Students At Annapolis
"What is reported as a 'delicat situation' is predicted as probable if a Negro enters the U.S. Naval Academy. Reports have it that in such an event he will be ostracized by the white students. Thus the situation will arise is certain, because a Negro member of congress from Chicago, has made the nomination and announces he will make the "treatment of a Negro student such as is forecast will be a national disgrace. Negroes are welcome as common sailors; those with high commissiones for higher ranks. If a man is good enough to fight for America as an A. B. he is good enough, subject to no consideration other than his own ability to hold the rank of lieutenant commander and to have no discrimination at Annapolis or anywhere else."

50 TO SHARE IN SALE
OF $25,000 CEMETERY
Court Approves Sale of Burial Lots Given Race by President Adams.
HEIRS WANTED IT BACK
Health Department Condemned Property in 1889.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Justice Jennings Bailey in equity court last Monday approved sale of a piece of land by George E. Emmons, Harry A. Clarke and Whitefield McKinlay, permanent receivers of the Colored Union Benevolent Association, which is being dissolved under an act of Congress. The land was sold to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. One parcel of 1,581 square feet was sold for the sum of $99,650. The other tract of 38,238 square feet was sold for the sum of $25,064.
Interested persons were given thirty days in which to show cause why the sale should not be finally ratified. The two parcels were narts of land which were used as a cemetery until 1889 when the health department directed that it be no longer used as a burial ground. It was originally a part of the estate of John Quinn Adams, sixth President of the United States. It was conveyed to the trustees of the Union Benevolent Association April 1, 1870. Six parcels of John Quinn, Adams, sought to have the land revert to them. They claimed that the land was conveyed in trust for the benefit of Colored Union Benevolent Association for the sole purpose of carving a memorial for deceased members. The court decided against them.
In 1893 sixteen of the original owners were still listed as members of the association. They were Sandy Carroll, William Hill, Carroll, Isaac Clark, Hillery Davis, John C. Dorssey, James F. Herbert, Anthony Hickman, Gickman Key, Jas. Key, James Key, Martin, Charles H. Shorter, Joseph Shorter, Charles Wilson and James Wright. Of fifty heirs of these original owners have been located according to Georee C. Gertman, attorney for the trustees named in the congressional motion, and they will share in the distribution of the proceeds from the sale.

Boy's Leg Fractured
Two First on Scene of Hospital Disaster Risk Lives in Rescues.
TELL OF HORROR
Found Many Dying from Gas in Clinic, Efforts Futil.
CLEVELAND. Ohio.—A colored youth was among the first to rush to the rescue of the stricken victims of the Cleveland hospital Wednesday when with the aid of Frank Salvini, white, he erected two makehift ladders and succeeded in rescuing twelve before their ladders broke, and they were partly overcome by escaping gas fumes. The young man who gave his name as Walter B. Jackson, with giant strength, held two short ladders together with his hands as doctors, patients and nurses climbed down over his shoulders to safety.
DID NOT KNOW EXTENT.
That the men did not realize the extent of the danger in which they had placed themselves to save the trapped victims was revealed when they declared that when they went to the rescue they thought it was just a little fire that had broken out in one portion of the dispensary. It was not until later that they named 126 had but their lives by the deadly gas fumes.
RUSH INTO BUILDING.
After carrying dying men and women down over their shoulders their makehift ladders collapsed but by this time the fire departments had arrived on the scene and the men rushed into the building via the fire truck and worked, dragging exhausted victims to the roof and carrying them down the ladder to the ground.
DESCRIBE SCENE.
The scene that greeted them on the top floor of the building to which they gained access through the roof, was the most horrible they declared in a statement to report-
"We found twenty people on the stairway with their clothes and coats pulled over their heads to keep out the gas. Some had stuck their heads under chairs and ture. One man had almost the same as a navy object of stature: that had fallen on him. It weighed more than 200 pounds. We pushed it off, but he groaned and died. "We took off our shirts and wrapped them around two women and tried to get them out. But it seemed the best we could, but it seemed too sudden. All but all because they died too suddenly." The deaths were caused by an explosion in the X-ray department.

"PANSY" NOT MUCH A PLAY, CRITICS SAY
"PANSY" NOT MUCH A PLAY, CRITICS SAY
Maceo Pinkard's Show, Opening at Belmont, Hissed by First Nighters.
BESSIE SMITH BEST
Blues Singer Declared Only Worthwhile Feature.
NEW YORK (Special)—If metropolitan critics are to be believed, the play, "Pansy," the Macro Pinchard vehicle which opened last week at the Belmont theater, has little for which to hope.
Billed as a "musical novelty" in two acts the company boasts of Besse Smith. Columbia recording artist Pearl McCormack, date of "Jazz Regiment," side Anderson, "Speedy" and others.
Walter Winchell, writing in the Evening Graphic, said: "After a series of sour sketches and embarrassly poor dialogue and useful attestations, he on the part of his manateurs, a group in the rear of the lower floor groaned audibly. . . The first half dragged, ringing in his teeth while to his bushes, but most of the reviewers, who appeared to be 'enjoying the incredibly bad material, returned to witness the second section'." "BAD BEYOND BEERER"
characterizing the act as "bad boy" Richard Lockridge, in the Sun; said: "Fans is not a show in any possible construction of the film, but it is not a good show. But it is not even a bad show. It is, with one momentary inclusion of professionalism, the sort of thing that makes somebody's barn with costumes borrowed from their elders. But in the antics of children so engaged there would be gayety, life, charm. Here all those things were
"Bessie Smith furnished the contrast by which the least initiated could perceive, and the most standing were the others. She sang and danced with gusto. She did more—she performed. And none of the audience who had watched for her shoes stole the shoes. Those cheers kept her out, until she was weary and laughingly: protesting. But they could not finally, stave out her return, or report those of those on report on such things as these, set up and went away."
MAY LAST AT WEEK.
With a prediction that "Pansy" will do well to last a week, Arthur Pulock, of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, informs that "The program, as if inspired, describes 'Pansy' as an instrument music to novel as to be hard to believe. You never saw anything like 'Pansy'. This sort of things within reach of Broadway only once in four years, giving first night something to tell their audience to be useful." More specifically, "Pansy" looks something that might have been brought downtown by a little neighborhood dramatic society in between or at the entrance of an entertainment park on by the boys and girls of an upper 7th avenue gift store."

WHITE RACE LIKES WATERMELON BEST
Negroes Shout for Jesus.
CHARLESTON, W. YA-White people laugh at Negroes because they eat chickens and watermelons, but statistics show that more chickens and watermelons are eaten than trifles of Chicago than in colored Dr. Julian H. Lewis, Assistant professor of Pathology at the University of Chicago told a large audience the First Baptist Church Sunday.

Raps Interior, Inc. Lewis stated, "a great deal about our inertion complex, and it is the greatest evil within our race. Some of us are aroused, we are ashamed for any characteristic which is commonly spoken of as colored. And we are not entirely to blame for what he concocted and goatistic that he laughs at anything different from what he does, different from what he thinks. He laughs at anything different from what he does, different from watermelon. What if we do? There is no more wrong about eating chicken than eating lamb. There is nothing poisonous about eating poisonous about artichokes or brussel sprouts. God didn't grow chickens and watermelons for colored people only. He grew them for
Hoover vs. Jesus
"They laugh at us because we shoot crays. Is playing dice any more sinful than gambling at poker and borseracing?
They laugh at us because we shout in church. The Rev. L. K. Williams, President of the National Baptist Association told me he would join the Republican Convention, saw dignified whites women and astute white men go into actual frenzy and jump up on their chairs and yell at them of their voices, said they can yell "hurrah for Hoover," why can't we yell "hurrah for Jesus?" What I am trying to say is that no race has any right to tell us what we should do at rate not for the rôle that it should.
ENGLEWOOD, N.J.-Mr. James C. Smith, a golden voiced baritone and a native of this city appeared in a brilliant performance at Lincoln School, ewerything.
The quality of Mr. Smith's voice was excellent, save for the lighter numbers. He was more natural than his others. He began with "Caro Mio Bsn and "Se Tu Ma Mundo continue in "Dancing Down to Rio."

It is charged that the management of "Messiah Around" watched the screen and comment on critics for the purpose of advertising. Billing for that nature being being used in some bitterness by reviewers in their printed remarks. The action of the Times, in a sign to legally enjoin managers from such practices.

From The Front Row
A New Renaissance in Baltimore Amateur Theatricals. The Presentation Idea New Vogue in Entertainment.
It remained for Morgan College to again bring about a Renaissance in Baltimore Amateur theatricals under the guidance of S. Randolph Edmunds after that noble art had slumbered for nearly seven years. The college's Dramatic club has appeared in several local publications with many awards and made no noise in the recent Little Theatre Tournament held last week in the Waldorf Theatre in New York City. The club also appeared to good effect at the Alhambra Theatre there. While it is perhaps natural that this revival should come from a seat of learning yet to those who have seen balmier days in this line of endeavor it is regrettable that some enterprise along with it is not disinterested in talent.
There have been no appreciable strides made in this direction since the season of 1923. The theatrical revival of *The Lion in the Mountain* was most brilliant in Baltimore history. Several outstanding leaders with marked theatrical ability tried their hand at one type of entertainment or another, each seeing with great satisfaction the identification of local theatrical leagues.
The Morgan College group was then under the direction of M. Menzella, Newsome Jones of M. King's School, Seymour of Pittsburgh. The year saw the Douglas High School vaudevillians at their best. H. Hamilton Murray and Sheldon Hoskins were pitted against each other in musical comedy production, the shepherds ran the gamut during that season.
A striking contrast is found between the work of M. Jones and that of Mr. Edmunds. The latter prefers to work with the same actors, which seem to be the vogue in the Little Theatre Movement, while Mme. Jones preferred the larger scale presenting of Shakespeare dramas, using the same actors. Her outstanding work was "Mid Summer Night's Dream" and "Damon and Pythias."
While there were signs of activity in the Douglass High School last season with the ever-lowering age scale puts them in the ever-lowering age scale puts them in the class of mere juvenile entertainment which cannot be considered as real Little Theatre productions.
The presentations of Mr. Hoskins were been confined to the demonstration of his class room work in connection with his dancing school, and Mr. Murray has evidently retired. Morgan has evidently are group only formidable group to make their-bow this season.
The Changing Theatre
It is interesting to note the changes that take place in the theatre. There have been many definite periods that popularized certain forms of entertainment which passed before the transition even place.

Pajamas for beach,
Pajamas for tea;
But you can't wear pajamas at dances,
And get by me.
With apologies to Shakespeare
Afro artist's conception of varied types of pajamas for beach and other wear and especially for costume dances. Pajamas were worn by guests at the "What Good Are We" dance last week and a prominent D. C. pastor declared movies of such dances would land the participants in the jailhouse with Oilman Sinclair. Society hits back at the pastor this week by asking him what's wrong with dance pajamas.
And, anyway, says society, the "pajamas will be worn at Highland Beach this summer.

RIOT FEARED AT HIGH SCHOOL CADET DRILL
ANONYMOUS LETTER
Pop Bottles Thrown at White
Drill Monday.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
(Capital News Service)—
Fearing that the implications contained in a series of anonymous communications to school officials may not be groundless, all male teachers of Dunbar and Armstrong high schools have been ordered to do patrol duty to prevent a riot at the Annual Competitive Drill at the American ball park Thursday.
The letters to Franklin Building suggest that in the event that a Dunbar company is again awarded a decision "which it does not earn," the testing which has been growing in intensity for several years will break out and even the conservative, lawmaking citizens who have some influence with the Armstrong sympathizers will be unable to cope with the situation.
Decision
The communications suggest that in numerous occasions the decisions have not been fair to competing Armenian companies." They cite unawareness of recent years which resulted in several unfortunate incidents and disgraceful street incidents and intimate that the blame may any continuance on this lawiness can be attributed to no one blamed judges. It be known here Tuesday that police detail will be tripled will assist the male members of the safety in maintaining order. The duty which has been assigned to the teachers take in definite territory both under the stands as they in the stands as they given evidence that he will be held strictly accountable for the action under his surveillance.
A large number of citizens and some school officials believe that it might be well to abolish the compulsive drill between the companies of the two schools and adopt in its place tactical maneuvers and a drill which would be the last of the Annual Competitive Drills. which have played a great part in local high school life for years. Where it has been looked forward to as a pleasant feature of the life of the community, it is now awaited with dread, particularly by parents of the children attend the competing. It is reported that complaints are largely lodged by white parents who think that the combats with pop-bottles which we staged at the compulsive drill of the white schools Monday and Tuesday make such competition anace.

URGE CITY SCHOOL FOR HANDICAPPED KIDS
this Group.
Stressing that provision for the education of the handicapped children is a vital responsibility of the citizenry. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell urged that a public school for handicapped colored children here is within reach of united effort, in an address at The Royal theatre, Sunday.
The occasion was the fourth annual mass meeting of the association for the handicapped. More than five hundred braved the occasional downpour of rain to attend the meeting.
Mrs. Terrell referred to the Jessie Spaulding public school for the handicapped at Chicago, as an example of what other cities are doing for the education of their handicapped children.
No public school provision was made for the handicapped here until 1923, when a class for crippled children was set up in School 106. This class, it is said, is the result of the efforts of the local association since its organization in 1913.
Mrs. Terrell was introduced by Miss Hilda Anderson, who termed the meeting as being one of the most important to be held for the character object. A collection of $50 was given.
Among others who spoke were: the Rev. J. O. Spencer, of Morgan College; Theodore McKelden, secretary to the mayor; Attorney Linwood Koger, the Revs. Ernest Lyon, A. J. Greene, George F. Bragg, Jr., Mrs. Emma Cooper, president of Emergency Circle.

Johnson, corresponding secretary; George S. Whyte, general secretary; Robert W. Coleman, manager; Dr. James E. Bell, treasurer; Prof. Francis M. Wood, assistant treasurer; Koger and Koger, attorneys.

Wm. C. Anderson, secretary, of the Y.M.C.A., speaking at the Get Acquainted banquet of the Metropolitan M. E. Sunday school Friday evening, stated that in spite of the difficulty of the new task facing him, his dream of the future for the association is a leaders corps, an athletic league and an older boys' council. The Rev. C. Y. Trigg, pastor and teacher of the E. S. Williams Bible class, struck the keynote of the occasion when he gave his dream of the future. Rev.

Rawlings, superintendent, expressed the hope that Metropolitan Sunday school would become the largest and that the banquet would be an annual af-

An up to date picture of people of today.
Besides a corking stage offering of no mean pretensions, the product of the Chicago Amusement company, the Royal theatre has an elaborate screen program on tap for its patrons next week. The week is inaugurated with the "Wolf Song," starring Gary Coleman and the Pops, which is laid in the mountains of California, where Cooper, a giant of the timberland is infatuated with a Spanish girl of wealth parentage, whom he kidnaps and marries, only to have her stolen from him in turn by her family. How he re-wins her is told in a gripping story. Wednesday and Thursday, "Marked Pops" production, furnishes the screen fare, and Friday and Saturday will see that famous story of the old west, "Sunset Pass," starring the best beloved of the human types, Jack Holt. Riding, shooting and love making are combined in well distributed measures to make this one of the most exciting features of the year. It is the stage offering starring such individuals as Grant and Wilson and the inimitable Billy Mitchell.
THE BEGENT
The Regent theatre offers one of the most colorful melodramas ever presented on the screen, in Cecil B. DeMille's "Godless Girl," which graces the screen the first three days of next week. The author, Jeanie MacPherson, one of the able writers for the stage and screen, has done her best work in revealing the inner soul of a girl who cared only for things of the flesh and fought hard defying both God and man to obtain the best that love can bring about in the human heart are most strikingly bought out by the portrayal when her deadened emotions respond to the call of a mate.
This production is much enhanced by the Movetone effects.
The last three days will bring to the screen, Peter B. Kyne's western thriller, "Tide of Empire." Renee Adoree, surrounded by a host of stars, makes this epic of the California gold rush a never-to-be-for-

gotten picture. Covered wagons stamped horses and cattle, the treachery of men caused by greed to reach the land of riches, are all combined to make this both an educational and entertaining offering.
Choice Vitaphone and Movietone shorts have been added to embellish the trotter and add a humorous role to the thrilling action of both productions.
STAGE REVIEW
ROYAL THEATRE
"Step on it"
he would be trite for me to say that "The Step On It," the offering at the Royal theatre this week, is the best show I have ever seen and a decided falsehood to say it is the worst.
In fact, even if I were inclined to be mean and put the brain child of S. H. Dudley, Jr., the producer, on the pan, the pleasing personalities of Luella Wilson, a nut brown maiden with a voice that tinkles in your ear long after the curtain falls; Frances and Ortez, two peppy portions of animated femininity and others, would prevent me from doing
Perhaps I'm partial to chorus girls, but the most entertaining bit to me was the two little chorines who covered up their lower extremities (particularly their Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and slipped through the curtains to yodel a song or two. One was Bobby Anderson and the other Inez Smith, both have good voices that harmonize well and one plays the piano. With the development of a little more personality, there is no reason why they should ever be allowed to the chorus again.
Banks and Burnham serve the heel and toe course and tap their way into the hearts of the auditors. The comedy, which is hardly of a show-stopping nature, is served more or less adequately by Sonny Lee and the two twins, two gamely laughs in their single bits than in their sketches.
A rather niffy and fast moving chorus did much to keep the customers' hands busy applauding for more. The sets are attractive and the presentation as a whole is excellent. The Royal theatre a nice place to spend these early summer evenings. —R.M.

Locals Fail to Offer Substitute for Court Authority.
Morgan College girls lost the third annual debating contest both in Baltimore and in Petersburg, Friday.
The subject of debate was "Resolved, that the Power of the Supreme Court of the United States to Declare Laws Unconstitutional Should be Abolished."
In Petersburg the Virginia State College victorious team arguing the affirmative consisted of Frances E. Baldwin. Eshert E. Jones and Mary E. Elliott. The leading Morgan College team arguing the new side of the question proposed of Veronica S. Woodward, Frances P. Male and M. Anita Short. In Baltimore, Morgan lost by one point. One of the judges of the contest voted for Morgan, another for Virginia and a third gave Morgan 19 points and for Morgan, the Morgan affirmative team argued that the United States was the only nation-which permitted a court to declare laws of its highest law-making body unconstitutional and that such practice led to delays, injustice and low-conservatism. Union's team was better organized. Morgan debalers did not agree themselves as to whether the question of constitutionality of laws

THE president of the Safety Insurance company looked up
and greeted Donald Darrington with a look of utter surprise and incredulity. "Are you Donald Darrington, the great detective who killed the murder mystery in San Jose, with a note of scout in his voice. "Yes. 'Tes.' the tall, dark, distinguished Negro replied as he seated himself in the proffered chair. "I wanted your wife the other day, not to be great but I small owed to be great but I small owed to be of any assistance to you." "But" protested the plump little checkered president, taking off his coat, "they didn't tell me you are a colored man, and—er—well, it surprised me of surprise. You know the sort of makes things different. 'Course this hashtag,' havent colored people, I shall be glad to have you work with us."
DARRINGTON ASTONISHES.
Darrington had been listening
rums amused with a little sarcastic
playing around his mouth. He
was used to this sort of thing. As a
Chicago police force he had en-
cumbered much of it. So he was
not apposed by the fact that the
man who had wired him to come
all the way from San Francisco at
the promise of a very large fee for
services should be charged. The
block man. Darrington was completely calm—he knew
that to expect from such people and
that was never surprised.
"Now Mr. Sanders" he began in a business-like manner. I think he shall be able to get along very well with all concerned with this case. And give me the full details and then I start to furnish me with the necessary credentials as an instructor for your company. I am there will be no friction. Most Americans are quickly awed by

AVE you ever stood in front of a mirror and studied the outlines of your face? You have taken a look and found little lines that you did not know were there; you have found ways to improve your general appearance. Whenever you dress in your best and want to make the best possible appearance, you study yourself in the mirror in order to see yourself as others see you.
In exactly the same way when you sign your name or write a letter you put a picture of the real you on your shirt.
Your handwriting shows, you just as you are—your talents, your natural life. It shows a success out of your life. It shows you have friends. If you have an uplily it will show in your handwriting, as as these same pen strokes reflect, as these same pen strokes have. If you have natural qualification that if trained will make you a teacher, or a preacher, or teacher, and your handwriting will show them—can go ahead, and make the climb toward success.

Darrington, the Holden Fur company a reputable concern in the fur industry, is just ushered furs chinchilla costs over a week ago. Chinchilla is probably the most expensive of furs and each of the missing coats is worth $20000. The Holden Fur company insured the furs with us and naturally we want to try and recover them before we have to pay out that $001-
BACK WINDOW BROKEN.
"The company does a wholesale building of a fifteen-story building downtown. All adjacent buildings are from four to six stories high. The five chinchilla costs were placed in a vault on March 13. Next morning when the vault was opened, the coats were gone. The shop doors were locked and equipped with burglar alarms, and the watchman a very dependable fellow, swears that from sixthirty when he came to work, until eight the next morning. One of the back windows was broken in and investigation revealed that someone had been after five days on the case, have failed to find a single clue.
"Nobody can explain how the robbery was pulled off nor how the robbers made it. And fifteen-story 'building' it. It is certainly a mystery how they got that vault open without injuring it. Only two people know how to break in, and we have troncl-alibis. Still, the case looks too perfect for an outside job. So on my own initiative, having heard "Fear" I decided to call you in to try your hand before we pay the Holden company's claim.

When Mr. Dahney starts to do any single thing, he does that alone. He concentrates. He gives all his time. He loves to travel, to meet people. He is not wasteful, but very careful about details. He believes that he can do things that he doesn't want. He says "I Can't" he says "I CAN", and means it.
There are plenty of young men and women scattered over the country with ability to do things—to become leaders and you may may one these.

"Now," snapped Darrington, "I understand the situation fairly well but I must have a little more data. Who saw the coats placed in the "Mr. Alvin, the president of the Holden Fur Company; Mr. Timothy, the cashier; Tom Johnson, the porter, and Jim Speed, the shipping clerk? Who was last to leave the office?" "Timothy, the cashier." "Who knows the combination of the safe?" "Only Alvin and Timothy." "You say the value of the five chinchilla coats is $100,000?" "Yes." "How many chinchilla coats did this firm have you insure last year?" "Just a minute, and you know of how many chinchilla coats the Holden Fur Company insured last year?" "Well, while we're waiting for that information, continued the sleuth of a man he is?"
MR. TIMOTHY SUSPICIOUS.
"Well, he is really one of our leading citizens. He took over the city about ten years ago and has been rather successful. He belongs to several exclusive clubs, is married, has a beautiful home in the choicest neighborhood, and has been treated in the community. I don't think heh ad anything to do with the robbery but I do have my suspicions about him. Mr. Timothy and I were been with the Holden Company for over fifteen years. Nevertheless, and despite the fact that there is nothing against him, I am a little suspicious because he has raced and occasionally the stock market. You know people who gamble are liable to get in tight places financially and then in their ownation they are lured into crime."
Just then Miss Levinsky, a plump young miss with blonded hair,
In our last discussion of the problem that has been baffling the best minds of two continents for the last sixty years, namely, "Why there exists a strong affinity between the gentleman of the cloth and the offspring of an egg in its adult state." we traced the history of the American Negro from the underground railroad which made it look like a report of the department of commerce. While all of this had nothing whatever to do with the question in hand, we allowed allowing the readers the privilege of quitting whenever they get tired. No articles dealing with preachers and railroads would be complete without this little historical reference dealing with the early struggles of the African Methodist Episcopal
It seems that a certain deacon went to the office of a railroad-official in a small town and requested that he order the engineer on the train that passes through the city. The official asked why and the deacon said, "You see our pastor preaches until he hears the whistle and last Sunday that blame train was twenty minutes late." History points out that another candidate came up to the Civil War was the writing of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The only parallel to this in its devastating effect upon human events was "Noah's Ark." As a little girl, Harriet Stark started this great book but father had discouraged her because he could not see the need of writing a book when they could be bought so cheaply. Another thing that postponed the writing was that Abraham Lincoln had not up his job on a riverboat and there was no use stirring up a war until everybody was ready. Uncle Tom the book vividly pointed out how

entered and laid a pencilled report on Mr. Sanders' desk. He glanced at it quickly and frowned. Dismiss the girl he turned to Darrington. "We insured only two chinchilla coats for the Holden Company last year," he informed Darrington. "Now tell me, the detainer asked, 'What kind of stuff does the fun business this year?' Has it been worse or better than usual?"
"Why I should say it has been better."
"How does Alvin stand financially? I suppose you have made the usual examination of his bank accounts." and everything is oken in that direction.
"What do the police know about him? Is he a closely closed? Does he ever step out with the scarlet ladies, or anything like that? Is he one of these tired business men who spends his evenings at the bar? ALVIN IS VINDICATED.
No, Alvin is a home man and there isn't a blemish on his character so far as we have been able to find out."
"Um-hmm," grunted Darrington, stroking his chin meditatively. "Well, Mr. Sanders you get those credentials ready and I'll see what I can

As soon as the superintendent unlocked the door of the penthouse and left the detective to his own devices, the sitting room looked to Going to the edge, just over the back windows of the Holden company, he whipped out his magnifying glass, the cornee, Glancing quickly around he noted that the smokestack of the building was directly behind him Near where he was, the disturbed if some people had been scuffling up there.

Uncle Tom was in his cabin on his knees with one eye on his chains and the other on Paradise. Prejudiced historians have attempted to prove that this was a typographical error and that the author had intended to say that he was on his knees with one eye on his change and the other on a pair of dice. This, however, has been proven to be just a lct of bunk. The opposition attempt to win that if Uncle Tom wasn't shooting crap where do we get that expression about "Roll Jordan Roll"? Of course, it's six on one side and a half a dozen on the other and twelve is a hard point to remember. Time passes as time always does and Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas begin to run for Presidency, a very bitter enemies in public life, in private they were the best of friends and wrote each other friendly letters as this little incident will prove. Abraham wrote a letter to Dourglass and then to a friend to read before mailing.
"That's a very nice letter," said the friend, "complimentary and inoffensive, but there is only one lover to reach back with a C instead of a K." Lincoln, would have lost women been permitted to vote because Douglass was as handsome as a matinee idol and Abel did not know what to do. He was an old maid out of a burning building. He succeeded in ascending to the presidency, however, and the Southern states began to secede in rapid succession. Grant was selected to engineer the Northern offensive, making him the first Civil engineer. Sherman got sore and said "War is over," and he died. He couldn't enter the peaty gates until he reentered; for cussing, Sherman

After a minute or two no walked to the front of the building, looked over the edge of the roof into the busy street below and shaking his head doubtfully, returned to the penthouse and defended the offices of the Holden Company.
Making himself known to Mr. Alvin, the president, a shrewd-looking fellow with slightly graying hair and piercing blue eyes, he asked him to help him find the office. In five minutes the entire group, about fifteen, were lined up around the walls of the room. Mr. Alvin then asked him to explain what was a great detective, and had been retained as investigator by the Safety Insurance Company. "Do just as he says," the president said, "and answer all of his questions." All of them nodded acuteness.
A STRANGE METHOD.
Derrington had each one given a pencil and a piece of white type-writing paper. "Now just write on the paper," he said, "and complete account of the manner in which you disposed of your time from the hour you left this office on the evening of March 13 until next morning. Don't omit anything."
Then turning to Tom Johnson, the Negro porter, who had just begun like the rest, to put pencil to paper, he said "Come with me, young man." The porter's eyes opened apprehensively but he followed obediently. When they had reached the man show him over the entire place very hurriedly. He glanced curiously at the safe, noting that the wash bowl was directly in front of the other side of the room, and that a large mirror hung over it.

The North was represented by the stars and stripes and the South by the stars and bars. The slaves were over the stars and bars. Over they started locking them up again putting them in stripes behind the bars and pinning the stars on their backs. They led to the filming of the great movie, "The Birth of Incarceration."

WHEN TO BEGIN BATTLING
WRIKENKS
I receive hundreds of letters asking
"When shall a woman start fighting
wrinkles." Many are of the opinion
handed down by their mothers, that
young girls should not give up to keep
them clean, I would say, that all
depends. Some girls have very harsh
dry skin and it wrinkles easily. Other
girls have a very oily but loose skin
that has oily spots on the mouth,
a called laughing wrinkles,
and also falls and spills the contour
line that runs from the chin to the
ear.
There are exceptions to almost every
rule we find and this is a case
that has no exceptions. The methods will not
hold in every instance.
Usually cold water is sufficient for
young, healthy skins but when the
face is dry and prone to early wrinkles
or over oily and sags easily, one
should take the precautions that older
skins must take if beauty is to
be preserved.
Will The White Rase Turn Brown?
Astounding Revelations of Science Indicate Impending Doom of Blondes.
Is the white race doomed to extinction? Is the pinkish blonde type of man going to turn brown himself? Will the time come when there will be no white men in the sense that we use the expression today? Such questions are apt to start the world to laughing with hearty skepticism, and yet, if modern science is to be believed, it is the fate of the whites devy be brown.
of north and south latitude unless he acquires a tanned skin, because there is too much sunlight for his system. Of course the change takes a very long time but it takes place just the same. The yellow and black man can live anywhere for thousands or ten years of thoughest without changing pigment, but if the white man is to survive inside the 45th degrees, north and south he must get brown.
Such authorities as Chas, E. Woodruff and L. W. Heyde have pointed out that climate determines skin color and texture. Recently, a white man in Rhodesia, in a book entitled, "Environmental Influences Affecting Blondes in Rhodesia and their Bearing on the Man," has man cannot exist under strong and sustained sunlight without getting darker.
BRONZE COLORED AMERICANS
So long as the white man stayed in northern Europe he was not the stated later, instead, he hag, spread all over the world and infaded countries previously inhabited by people with brown or dark yellow skin, coming of the white people were of a bronze color, and the same was true of the South Americans. The Asiatics were and are a dark yellow verging into bronze skin, that all of the ancient peoples around the Mediterranean Sea were dark and many of them are today. It is therefore hard to tell what people have in the last few centuries invaded countries and regions where, because of their pale skins, they have seemed very odd. Most of them do not belong to such places as Argentine, Brazil, Central America, Africa, India, Florida, China, California, etc., building vast cities. For our purposes, Woodruff points out that blackness of skin is caused by the necessity in the tropics or a hot climate to radiate heat. The main use of woodruff is to rays the sun. Where coldness of the weather is combined with the least light, there you will find the palest people. As we near the equator the temperature is warmer and consequently the people are darker.
It will be readily recalled by everybody that the American Indians all vary in color: those in Canada being lighter, those in Britain being lighter than south men in Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, England, Russia, Egypt, Persia, India, Japan, and China, and those in America, however we find that south men are lighter in color than north men, as in South America, Australia and Africa. The Hottentots in South Africa are, yellowish in colour while the Beni and other peoples under the equator are very black.
The blondness of a place is in proportion to its cloudiness. For instance, sunshine is more abundant and blondest part of Europe. White people flourish best where there are less than 1250 hours of sunshine a year and they begin to wear sunglasses. In than 1700 hours of sunshine a year; that is to say in south central Europe and in the northern half of the United States and in the Mediterranean Coast countries. Sunshine is the most important of the 2500 hours of light as in the southern half of the United States and in the Mediterranean Coast countries. Sunshine is the most important of the white people cannot stand over 3000 hours of sunlight a year without very serious injury. Of course elevation (mountain) is the most important than 1000 hours; hence, blonde mountaineers in some hot regions.
THE NEGRO'S FERTILITY
The Negro's excessive fertility is due to nature's effort to counteract or discount the heavy mortality from parasites in the tropical and tropical regions. The extreme blackness of the natives on the Mosquito Coast of Africa is caused by the influence of the reproduction of the mosquitoes, and fundamental differences of skin color between black and white people are due to climate and are caused by differential adaptation of the lungs and intestines in different strengths of sunlight; and this development of color, owing to increased action of intestines, is productive adaptation to increase sunlight. Hyde makes the astounding statement (The Contemporary Review, February, 1987). The permanent presence of pigment granules in the epidermal cells of all races, even the blondest, proves the original universality of the pigment visible; and the pigment evenly in the general color of the skin and eye in the infants of all races outside Europe proves further that THE NEGRO COLOR WAS DARK BROWN."
In other words, all people were "chocolate to the bone" at one time, and modifications of color are unrelated to sunlight or higher humidity. It is interesting to note that the blackest skins, like the blackest stripes of the Zebra are found because the world that ARE NOT COVERED WITH FORESTS—the African plains. In the equatorial forests this rich black is unknown. The yellowish Negroiland the Cayman Islands the Malay land the Krus of the rainy West African jungles and the Indians of the Amazon basin, all live in forests and are "thus partially protected" from hot and blinding rays of the sun. Science hands down the unalterable dictum that the black man belongs below the 25th degree, north latitude and above the 25th and degree, southern latitude, the blonde type, the so-called white man belongs naturally beyond the 45th degree, north and south latitude. This latter is about 100 miles from Copenhagen, Seattle and Toronto.
While pigment is not necessary in the colder regions, scientists point out that it does no harm. Hence Negroes, Indians and Mongolians can and have been used without harm. Lots of Negroes die in the north of the United States but their high death rate is due to congested housing and lack of proper sanitation and hygiene. Hence, House of Negro, reached the North Pole before Admiral Peary and suffered from the cold less than any white man on the trip. Negroes have lived as far north as the Great Slave Lake, which was drained after them. In the coldest regions of the Caucasus Mountains and the Siberia there are colonies of Negroes living. It has frequently been stated by scientists whose names correspond in respect to the Arctic that there an cannot remain long between the 25th and 45th degrees

of north and south latitude unless he acquires a tanned skin, because there is too much sunlight for his system. Of course the change takes a very long time but it takes place in the yellow and black man can live anywhere for thousands or tens of thousands of years without changing pigment but must have lived inside the 45th degrees, north and south he must get brown.
Says an authority on the subject: "Pigment is no danger, though unnecessary, in high latitudes, while absence of it is fatal in low latitudes without protection in the nonbinary, white man will systematically adopt; and therefore the Dark can intrude permanently into the document, success than the Fair can intrude into the domain of the Dark."
It is not strange, therefore, that nature is busily at work trying to adapt the white man for life in the territory he has invaded in the last 1000 years. In our own country a tanned skin is considered healthier by white folk than a pale skin; all movie and stage stages are dark; black is the color of diplomacy and all solemn occasions; color is the vogue in furnishings, while slackness are associated with a colorless skin.
There is a vast literature on this subject but it is only possible to scratch the surface in a popular scientific discussion of this kind. Suffice to say that most of the great cities in the United States are outside of the belt to which the white man's lack of skin-color adapts him. The longer he stays in this region the more will his skin pigment change. Already people with blonde hair are scarcer in the United States than in northern Europe where most of the white people in this country came. Moreover, it had been a migration from Europe there would only be about 40 or 50 million people in the United States and one-third of them would range in color from the deepest blue. Now that migration from Europe has been stopped, the white people here can only sustain themselves by getting permanently tanned. They already moving in that direction.
Dressing the massuline neck so as to lend distinction to this naturally awkward section of the male anatomy is important. Probably a man gives more time and thought to creating a handsome effect with his neckwear than to all the other items of his apparel. The neck is the most important neck is closest to the face and hence attracts an almost equal amount of attention. There have been periods in the past when the neck was also periods when they were tightly enveloped in frilled-ruffs or stiffly starched stocks and collars reaching all the way to the jawbone, but for many years the neck was more merciful in recent years. Today a happy compromise between comfort and style is achieved in the soft collar, which is favored for all but the warm weather.
Yet, with all these efforts to beautify it, the modern mack neck remains a pale andustere feature of the past, and of other ages. You have only to go into any big city art gallery to observe how much grander were the fighting men of the Middle Ages in their jeweled and armored arms or a personal badge or motto of some sort; how even more magnificent were the great merchant barons of the Renaissance with their pearls, jewels, and armor; the neck and shoulders, and Henry VIII, with his collars studded with pearls and other precious gems. Still, today's is a great improvement over the male mack neck, and the color was frequently lost entirely beneath a great sweeping expanse of heard.

A HOBBY THAT PAYS
BY JOHN W. DOUGLAS
THIS story should be of especial interest to those who require him to be a hobby. Perhaps that was what the Goldsboroughs that before they realized the money making possibilities of their work. But when Miss Mayne Goldsborough sold one of her fancy bed spreads for one hundred dollars their attitude changed. Certainly Mr. Edward Goldsborough who recently decorated the lobby of the Lincoln Hotel in Atlantic City regards his work as more than a mere hobby. And there is also Miss Helen Goldsborough who can so tint the complexion on a wax figure that it appears startlingly like a life. The story of this gifted family we must not fail to mention Mrs. Edward Goldsborough who paints exquisite designs on silk. Here is a colored family residing in Jersey City, N.J., members all possess artistic talent.
The surprising thing, however, is the plain every-day materials that are used. Miss Mayme can take a few cents worth of sealing wax a wire frame, some linen, a handful of beads or a few small pieces of those in the exclusive shops. Crafttex, used by Mr. Edward Goldsborough for interior decorations, is nothing more than a white plaster-like material, which after being applied, is colored to suit the fancy. Miss Helen, of course, requires only fresh and freshly worked work. They have no elaborate studio. Most likely the work is done as they all gather around the living room table.
It was the writer's privilege to visit the Goldsborough home and see their work at first hand. Edward Goldsborough that looked like a genuine oil painting, several decorative wall panels, a table lamp in a rough finish; all done with this plaster-like material called craft-text. On the table was a large sculpture of flowers to those Miss Mayne says for thirty-five dollars. She showed a bowl made of compressed paper, brightly colored with sealing wax. There was also a vase of artificial flowers on the table, and on Easter and Mother's Day. Another interesting feature of their work is the wax figures which are displayed in beauty shops and department stores, and the knack of "planting" human hair on the head of the figure so that it appears as if it had really grown from the scalp. She tints the base of the figure to resemble drapery of velvet or silk. These wax figures are made of New York stres and beauty parls.
The point of this story is the money making possibilities of a hobby. There is a family group that perhaps started this type of work simply to occupy the long winter evenings. Today, however, they have so developed it that they are assured that the value of their work value is measured in terms greater than money. There is a satisfaction that results from a successful attempt to express one's artistic learnings in concrete form.
easy money. Well, everybody wants easy money. Men often dream of getting it in the most unsocial manners. Women often dream of not to be taken too literally. When a young girl speaks so of almily she has in the back of her mind really an ideal. With assured money she has in the back of her mind she be keenly to be able to be more beautiful so that she can attract some ideal lover—everybody wants love, beauty and money. But when you get down into abstract art, women are not coldly mercenary—particularly young ones. Almily is a transition product of woman's past slavery. Not so long ago women had only privilege and no rights depending entirely on the kind of for which she had to continue taking it after she left him. She was not educated to work and being the child-bearer she was in a terrible position if left stranded. Almily was the result. So don't judge women or this custom too harshly.

Of Peter the Great a member of the royal guard, was own personal guard. Laver, on the accession of the Empress Elizabeth to the throne, he rose to be general-in-chief of the Russian army, and was promoted to the nobility. At his death he left several estates, 1500 estates and seven children.
Paskin was born : Moscow, June 7 1799, his father being a member of the Russian nobility. Like others of his class, his training was entirely in French; the Russian language he picked up from his nativity was French. He was the slaves on his father's plantation. His "mammy" had come into extensive contact with Russian high society; she also knew Russian history, and told him stories that thrilled him. From the slaves no learned folk-songs and folk tales. But the sweetest of all tales, the tales of the slaves, saw his youthful imagination were those told of his ancestor, Harriet.
At twelve he entered the Imperial Academy, where his outspoken criticism of men and things, his bold epigrams, and his poetic ability at once created a stir. At fifteen his first poem brought him immediate fame, exciting the admiration of Dorizavin, then the leading poet of Russia. This poem was recited everywhere, so profound an impression did it make on all classes of Russians, high and low. And it was all the most darling as it had been written. Russian literature from the conventional French form "With one cut of his sword," says a "Pushkin had freed Russian literature from the ties which were keeping it enslaved."
Was Boy Prodigy
At eighter Pushkin had become the greatest poet in Russia and the creator of a new school. He had the gift of taking the simplest things of life, the commonest feelings of the ordinary person and relating them in a manner that thrilled. He was the love poet, par excellence. He was the delight of millions of illiterate women and slaves. "Pushkin" says another writer, "represented love under so many aspects, in such beautiful forms and with such a variety of shades as one finds in no other an expression so refined, so high, that his higher comprehension of love is to keep a stamp upon subsequent Russian poets. Goethe's refined women left on the literature. After Pushkin had written it was impossible for Russian poets to speak of love in a lower sense than he did." Pushkin was also the poet of Liberty. When Nature, or God, or Life, what was there was some great mission to perform. It was not a black, white, red, or yellow man.
a MAN. Pukhin had come upon a scene of autocracy and slavery, some thirty millions of his fellow-Russians, all white, were held in the grip of a hard, cruel slavery. And unlike the Negro, they were of the soil from time immemorial. Pukhin's poems had fulfilled the great desire of the Russian people, now they went further; they stirred that spirit of liberty slumbering in the oppressed masses.
Champion of Freedom
"He made poetry," says another critic, "the highest activity of the human spirit. He, therefore proclaimed the right of human personality to be free. From the very first words of his poetic creations, he unequivocally declared himself a champion of freedom."
His great sympathy was with the oppressed. It was their sufferings their simplicity, their patience, that had inspire him. At twenty he wrote his "Ode to Liberty," which was suppressed and caused his banishment to the Caucasus. Even in the days of slavery in America there was a certain measure of free speech. In Russia, however, it was autocracy, pure and simple. Exhilarin continued his satire against the rulers of his time. The secret police finally descended on him, and he had just enough time to burn his papers, thus escaping the most dreaded punishment of the time, banishment to Siberia.
Later, he was given a government post in the Caucasus under the governor Prince Vercorizoff, but no wrote a satire on the latter that caused his arrest. Finally he was sent back a prisoner to his family, who was held responsible for him. But his independent ways brought him into continual quarrels with them and fleeing from them, he went off to live among the slaves and peasants on a distant estate. Here he devoted himself to his work.
The next important event in Pushkin's life occurred in 1828. At this time a large number of his associates, who had pledged themselves to the overthrow of autocracy and the liberation of the slaves, we aided and sent to Siberia. Pushkin was arrested at the time, and thus escar. Where did the scar, Nicholas I learned that Pushkin had not been among the conspirators, he sent for him.
"We are very glad to learn. Count," he said, "that you were not among those arrested for conspiring against us."
"Tour Majesty," replied Pushkin, with his usual frankness, "had I been present I would have been armed; they are my comrade and friends."
Accepts Court Position
"And that would have caused us great sorrow," replied the Czar. "Count, we are highly grateful to you for all you have done for Russia. We wish you to be always near us. We name you imperial historian."
Pushkin thanked the Czar but declined saying such a post would hinder still further the freedom of his pen. At that time every book printed in Russia was first censored.
"In that case," Pushkin answered the Czar, "we, ourselves, will undertake to be censor of your works, and you'll find us a most indulgent one." (That is, the Czar himself would.)
After such an offer there was nothing else for Pushkin to do but accept.
But, as will be seen, this offer was to be Pushkin's undoing. Nor was it the Czar's fault, for he loved Pushkin as a brother, and spent a great deal of time company. At that first meeting, after Pushkin had left, he had said to the Court:
"We have just been talking with the wittiest man in "I Russia." If Pushkin had been an important before he was an the more so now. Earlier, he sought his manuscripts; everyone sought his photographs, he was in the eyes of all. However, he could not have come into a more unfavorable environment that of the "Russian Court, or for the court. As once the jealousy of the man Czar's retinue fastened itself on this young man, whose brilliance and wilt eclipsed theirs as an arc light does a candle. Above all he committed the unparalleled sheil of wining what truly is striving for: the specie, flavor of the
To aggravate matters Punikin hated artificiality, hypocrisy, and intrigue, which are the life of Couras. "When I meet tools and hypocrisy," he once said, "it is all I can do to keep from biting them." His life among the slaves and peasants had but served to neigen his hared of cant.
Could Not Hate
But as one of his friends said to him: "You have no harvest even with your biting friends." This fact is that Punikin is incapable of doing physical hurt to any one. But there was his pen, and his genius for repartee. With the keen rapier of his wit he attacked them and they wrethed helplessly. All that was left to them was to mock him about his Negro ancestry. They would point to the crisp, curly hair of his head and whiskers, his dark skin, and his full lips, crying. There is the Negro. Or they would fight to him as black men badly伤ed by Beauceron. He was lively in his movement, they would declare that he inherited that trait from the apes of Central Africa.
At last his enemies formed a union against him. At its head were Count Orvaroff. Minister of Public Instruction, and Count Benkendorf. Chief of Police. Unable to attack him openly his enemies now began to whisper tales of his private life, and to circulate anonymous letters. Pushkin had been married to one of the most beautiful women in Russia, and tales began to fly, charging her with infidelity. One day, Pushkin received an extremely embarrassing and insulting bit of correspondence, alleging his wife's unfaithfulness. Stung by this insult he sought out the one he deemed the culprit—Baron D'Anthee—and sent him a challenge. In Duel The two met on the morning field in the morning of February 8, 1837, armed with pistols. Pushkin, who, as was said, was incapable of harming anyone, advanced to meet his antagonist with lowered weapon. But D'Anthee fired, the ball lodging in the poet's intestines. From this wound he died in great agony two days later.
On hearing of the injury to his favorite the Czar was furious. "Never shall I forgive," he sword, "those who have killed my beloved Pushkin. D'Anthes' life was spared only by Pushkin's intercession, who, with his last breath asked the Czar to pardon his enemies. D'Anthes, however, was stripped of all his wealth and exiled, while his father and others of the conspirators were driven out of office.
So great was the indignation of the people, that the Czar ordered a private funeral palace upright. The Czar, himself, undertook to pay all of Pushkin's debt, which were enormous, for Pushkin, the Dumas, was the spirit of generosity, and spent money like water.
As to his writings they will live as long as literature lives, for, in the In our last discussion of the prowords of Eichenwald, the noted critic:

Critic Eulogizes Him
"Puskin is the echo of the world an obedient and melodious echo which moves from realm to realm, passionately responding to everything so that no one significant tone in the life of the universe may vanish." There was such a limitless amount of beauty in his soul that it could find relief, consonance, and inner rhyme only in the virility of nature and in the boundlessness of human existence. His all-responding soul was like a many-singled instrument, and all the Universe playing on it, extracted the most marvelous songs.
"Pushkin, the great Pan of Poetry, listened eagerly to the cell of the sky, the earth, the throbbing of the heart. . . A giant of the spirit, full of burning curiosity, full of restlessness and sounds. Pushkin embraces all sees, and hears everything. Without boundaries or limits, knowing no distance or past, always in the present, everywhere alive, a contemporary of overnight, the sees about age, from age to age, and nothing is alien to him. Pushkin, the fiery, the passionate, the vehement and irritable; Pushkin, the generous, the enthusiastic, the faithful friend, the loyal adversary, the bitter foe of falsehood and injustice, was one of the complete human beings who ever lived. On the centenary of his birth, his memory was honored by national celebrations.
A curious fact worth noting here: It was a white woman Harriet Beesley Stowe, whose writings led the torch for Negro freedom in America; it was a Negro. Alexander Sergeivitch Pushkin, who lit the torch for white emancipation in Russia.

Advice to Mothers
Advice to Mothers
BY MAY WHITCOMB
WHEN INDECISION IS CRUELTY
"May I go to th. country with you?"
Nine-year-old Alice broached the question as soon as the hard, all-day trip came up for discussion in the party with which she and her sister were going to the summer.
"Oh I don't know. we'll see," said her mother gaily, interested in the plans and without giving the question any real consideration.
A decisive refusal at this point would probably have settled the matter without any great disappointment for Alice, but she speedily construed the evasive answer to mean that probably all her plans accordingly teasing for definite permission whenever the opportunity presented itself.
"When we go to the country I'm going to wear my high boots." "Shall I need my camera when we go to the country?" "Do you think I can ride Tex on the road? For a feel it is the self-hero. For a worth it is afraid it is too long a trip for a little girl" or "Mother doesn't think you had better plan on going" if neared, made no impression. And when, on the evening before the expedition, Mrs. Morrison finally gave her decision and said that Alice could not go, what might have been the answer? She was teased and cried heart-brokenly over the disappointment. Then her mother, torn between the desire to give in and let her go, and the fear of the length of the trip, added fuel to the fire by showing, only too plainly, that she was wavering. Eventually, Alice needed to sleep, and her mother went to bed with a raging headache.
Next morning the battle recommenced. Alice alternately teasing and crying, her mother commanding obedience and threatening to stay at home herself. Between the two, the pleasure of the start in the freshness of the early morning was spilled for the day. Alice was forced from the bend of the road showed Alice, full length on the grass, still sobbing in her anger and disappointment.
According to her grandmother, when the matter was irrecovably settled by the disappearance of the party, Alice gradually recovered her spirits and played quiet with the other children. Alice joined the humming party with eager inquiries and an account of how she had spent the day. And so everything was forgotten and no harm done — (?
This was probably the worst demonstration during the summer, but minor ones were of frequent occurrence. Sometimes Alice won out, and sometimes her mother carried off the palm, but her mother was perfectly sincere in saving that she could not understand win Alice should be so nervous and sensitive, nor why she had been when and never minded until she was forced to allogeth. it somehow put one in mind of the story of the small boy who wanted to have his terriser's tail "bobbed." "But won't it hurt the doz to have his tail cut off?" someone inquired. "Oh, no. not much." he answered. "The man said he would do it a little bit at a time!"
DO YOU KNOW?
How did "steam roller" in politics originate?
A steam roller is a leveling machine used to crush obstacles, such as stones in a road. In politics the term "steam roller" is applied to high-handed methods of overcoming opposition, especially opposition to a ticket prepared by political bosses and party leaders. In this sense the roller is used by Oswald F. Schuette in an article in the Chicago Inter-Ocean describing a session of the Republican National committee which preceded the Republican National Convention in Chicago in 1908. Under the direction of President Roosevelt the committee threw out all of the contested Hughes-Cannon - Knox - Fairbanks delegates and seated Taft delegates, making him the most nominated. The term "steam roller" by this method struck the popular fancy and was immediately popularized by the press.

Week's Poem
By Maurice Baring
Because of you we will be glad and gay;
Remembering you, we will be brave and strong.
And hall the advent of each dangerous day.
And meet the last adventure with a song.
And, as you proudly gave your jeweled gift,
We'll give our lesser offering with a smile.
Nor falter on that path where, all too swift.
You let the way and leapt the golden stile.
Whether new paths, new heights to climb you find.
Or gallop through the unfooted asphodel.
We know you know we shall not lag behind.
Nor halt to waste a moment on a fear.
And you will speed us onward with a cheer.
And wave beyond the stars that all is well.
THE MOUTH AND HEALTH
BY STEPHEN J. LEWIS, D.D.S. Washington, B.C. Dental Editor, Journal, National Medical Association.
A fifty and neglected mouth in association with the most wholesome and cleanest of food which enters it constitutes an unlucky alliance.
General rules for the safeguarding and preservation of health which do not comprehend through mouth hybrids are primary consideration, are basically weak.
Beautiful teeth constitute two-thirds of the feminine facial charm. No amount of facial glass or artificial make-up can overcome the esthetic handicap involved in bad looking teeth. More of the masculine charm than can be imagined is lost through the medium of a bad appearing mouth.
A smile is the blessed boundary line between warm and bruise. It becomes most effective and highly contagious when embellished with the artil presentation of beautiful teeth.
Health is not necessarily dependent upon beauty. Beauty, however, cannot long exist without health.

én his release two weeks ago, has

for the Grays, Is said to have struck

ACTION FOLLOWS INVESTIGATION OF "PRO" CHARGES
Lynchburgers Under Fire Since Allegation that Basketball Men Were Paid.
MAY RE-ENTER LOOP
Can Return to Fold by Football Season.
RICHMOND, Virginia. (Special) — Following an investigation of athletic conditions at Va. Seminary at Lynchburg, members of the C.I.A.A., meeting in this city last week, announced the indefinite suspension of that school from the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
Trouble between Seminary and other CLAA. schools arose when it was charged that some of the athletes at the Lynchburg school were playing on athletic teams, other than those of the school, and were receiving pay for their services.
DEN "PRO" CHARGES.
Particularly during the basketball season and these charges arise when several members of the varsity were sent at various times in the uniform of club teams. Charges of professionalismialism were made in question; primary athletes were vehemently denied by Va. Seminary officials and Coach Hurt refused to play Morgan College on the ground that the charges had been made in question. "Silm" Henderson, Eddie Davis, "Red" Powser, and others, were reported absent from the school frequently and at one time from the baskets. remained in Washington several weeks before returning to school. Repeated efforts of Morgan College to get the Seminary team to play them, promised to stage the game and give Seminary half of the profits.
PLAYED IN BALTIMORE.
Henderson played with the Carlsbad club team of Washington last season and also appeared in the uniform of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity team there.
Near the close of the season Henderson played two games with the Baltimore Athenians, one against the Renaissance team and the other against Morgan State. Both teams of the club denied having paid Henderson anything other than his expenses.
PLAYERS OUT OF SCHOOL NOW.
It is understood that most of the varsity basketball players are out of school now because of financial difficulties. The other CLAA. schools ever become chronic at the end of each season.
BAN NOT PERMANENT.
The suspension of V. Seminary, it is said, is not permanent and it will be possible for the school, after certain conditions, to be remanded for the football season next fall.
LIVINGSTONE LOSES TO BENEDICT NINE
SALISURY, N. C. — The one run jinx that has been following the Lingstone College baseball team all season followed them to South Carolina, where they lost another tight contest to Benedict College at Spartanburg, by the score of 9-8. Neither team scored in the first half, but Benedict translated two hits, a walk and an error into four runs. The Bears reframe by pushing two markers across it in their half of the second when Buford singled and Holland run clout over the right field wall. At the end of the 8th stanza, the count stood 8-6 in favor of the Bears. To start the fatal 9th, Hughes of Benedict picked to Jamison at first; then left, stole second and third; and scored when Jamison dropped a perfect throw. Buford Berry and Holland shone for Bears with the willow, while Dean was outstanding stick man with Benedict.

BRONOKE, VA. — Sailor Smith, pride of the light heavyweights in this city, gave Eddle Stephan of St. Barnes, N. C. a sound lashing, his week, but not before he himself, he saw a few right swings on the chin. Smith gained the decision after 10 tough rounds of action, and while he outpointed the North Carolina bay, always found Stephan a willing mansor. Smith used a fast left which repeatedly caught Stephan mansor on the chin.
THREE SCHOOLS WIN
C.I.A.A. NET HONORS
Shaw Wins Permanent Possession of Men's Doubles Trophy.
COTTON WINS SINGLES
Va. State Girl Is Women's Singles Champion.
HAMPTON INST. VA--With Bates High, Va. Va. Union and St. Paul entered, the sixth annual C. I. A. A. tennis tournament was held here Saturday, with Hampton winning the men's single and women's doubles, Shaw winning the men's doubles and Va. State carrying off the honors in the women's singles.
Shaw's victory in the doubles marks the North Carolinians' third consecutive doubles championship, and gives school and permanent possession
The finals in the men's singles, played between Cotton of Hampton and Lee of Va. State, were won by Cotton only in the third set did Lee win as all two games. These were all he could muster, for Cotton set up his first game. His lobs cuts and back-hand strokes proved too much for his adversary, and he triumphed easily. His victory made him GLAA. A second time, he won the honor for the first time in 1927 and repeated this year. He has only to win the trophy one more time to become his permanent possession.
In the men's doubles, Shaw once more stood supreme. Hampton won the singles Union to gain the finals. Shaw defeated St. Paul in the first game of a long drawn out 10-8 contest, then handy denial in the second, Hampton easily vanquished Va. State 6-0 in the first game, but were hard pushed to win the second, which they took. The finals were played between Shaw, C. I. A. A. champions for two consecutive years, and Hampton the contender in the second, with a slight margin of 6-3, 7-5. The mighty combination of Yerkins and Armstrong, who for two consecutive years had held high the men's doubles and although the combination of Brown and Briggs of Hampton presented keen competition, Shaw was tight enough in the finals to win the two games in straight.
The third game was a thrilling contest: Hampton fought hard and not let the ball slip past his tacular playing of Shaw run the count to 5 all, but the mighty Shaw defense became more formidable as the ball came to rest, the necessary to win the final set.
Women's Doubles
There was only one women's doubles match, which was played between Hampton and Va. State. The losing team, Hampton, triumphed 6-4, 6-2. The spectacular playing of Miss Maynor of Hampton provoled Va. State's undoing, as Hampton triumphed an easy fashion after dropping the first
The women's singles had but one match, and this was played between Miss Taylor of Hampton and Miss Winfield of Va. State. The match was the constancy of Miss Winfield caused her defeat. Miss Winfield took the first game 7-5, but Miss Taylor came back to the second, 8-2. The second was resumed, and the final set was played off, after a thrilling and exciting contest. Miss Winfield won 7-5, and not until the last score was made did the excitement cease, as the set was completed. The matches held the spectators' attention and provided plenty of thrills.
A. T. A. Prexy Gives Prizes
Dr. McGriff, president of the American Tennis Association, the matches, presented the awards to the winners. These consisted of gold medals to the winners, the silver trophy, emblematic of the 'singles championship' to Sir. Coenon. Another silver trophy to University, winner of the men's doubles.

The Passing Review
IN VIEW OF THE FACT that VA. Seminary has been suspended from the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association on charges of professionalism, it seems to us that now is a good time for schools, not members of the C.I.A.A., to do their bit in helping stamp out the "pro" evil. If these schools, such as Morgan, Bluedeil, W. Va. State, and other schools, such as games with Seminary, will do much toward forcing the Lynchburg school into a conformity with the proper amateur standards that the C.I.A.A. has set. There are enough non-conference teams to schedule games among themselves without their having to schedule contests with teams that have been allowed to play in the games. Seminary should knuckle down to the C.I.A.A. rules and go back into the fold. We would like to see this, for we are aware of the fact that there are conditions at other schools just as badly, as those at Seminary, however, have been. GAUGHT, which, as you know, makes all of the difference in the world. The matter of professionalism in our schools, is of no mean concern and non-conference schools will be of material aid if they will co-operate with the various conferences in helping them to
And by the way, an agent of ours radios that Shaw is not sitting so pretty with the CLAA. either.
NOT NARY A WORD do we see in the American League release, just issued, concerning any action of the magnates, in their meeting last Friday, concerning the erring apple-chasers of them. We were disappointed—sorely so, because we certainly were expecting to see some definite stand taken in a matter, to us seems one of the greatest dangers in organized baseball. Here we have players doing to suit themselves, getting away with the proverbial murder, and what do the moguls do? That's it, and they do it from us to side with the owners or players in any controversy. Our prime interest is that justice is all done to the players, owners, and fans, and we measure the burden of infirmities. Yet we cannot conceive of players in un-organized baseball acting with any more disregard for the owners than some of them have done in our nicely labelled leagues.
The lure of the greener pastures of independent baseball has surpassed the path of least resistance. This week we see a player in one uniform and the next week he is sporting the raiment of another club. This should not be. Imagine "Babe" Ruth's giving up his post with the Yankees to play independent ball, or not reporting at the beginning of the season unless he had a valid reason.
You can't imagine such a situation in the major league, yet it is tolerated in our supposed leagues and passed up with a smile. There is too much indecision on the part of the big boys. Real action with a capital "A" is sorely lacking. Real action we are excused for, but from the releases we are to have neither talk nor action. The monkeyshiness that are tolerated by our moguls are making them the laughing stock of the country, and the impression that they are making, coupled with a few more stretches of bad weather, will certainly not mean any good when the time comes to count the sheckels. Come, boys, bring us a little action before its too late.
THIS IS NO-BOLOGNA that's what the butcher remarked to a customer as he displayed a juicy steak, and with apologies to the butcher who hover he was, we want to say the same thing as a preface to what we are about to narrate.
The old, old question of what to do to keep a coach at a school, was being discussed the other day, and a gentleman, who should his oats, ventured the information that the rapid turnover coaches in our schools can be traced directly to the WIMMY.
Unfortunately, the gentleman explained, the urge to WIN has been so emphasized by alumni throughout the country, that unless a coach can always produce *WINNING* team performance, he will not be able to meet the demands of our schools and the result caused by changing systems of coaching every year or so has certainly not been gratifying, many of them will tell you. To imbue a team with the idea to win at ANY COST has proved disastrous. The team that has won at ANY COST is a great sentiment among players and fans as well, that the day of winning at any cost is slowly disappearing. Many coaches are not given a chance to show what they can do, simply because some interested alumni who may or may not donate a dime or two to the support of their alma mater, have demanded winning team. This is by no means a racial trait; for, no less a body than the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which met, in New York, in 1985, to determine the name of the Kennedy chairman of the Princeton board of athletic control and vice-president of the association, stating that: "All sport is valueless unless played with a chivalrous spirit. Dr. Kennedy depressed us to over-organization of sport, and over-emphasis on the value of victory. He suggested football as the best sort of training for a boy.
All of which tends to show that the attention of the leaders in the athletic world is being constantly focused on problems to which our group rarely gives much serious consideration. Of course, the athletes are not a static matter of course that lure coaches away from their jobs, but the problem of making coaches satisfied with things other than the coin of the realm is another important thing to be considered. Some schools have been skeptical about the importance of a static matter of course that lure coaches away from their jobs, but some instances have found themselves coachless at the end of the term because the work of the coach has attracted attention of other schools.
The tendency to insist that coaches be regular members of the faculty rather than a tramp coach is the reason that their sport is over, is to be commended. We believe that its popularity is spreading. There is yet much to do in the matter of creating a greater permanency in our coaching staff; and, say what you want, we are making sure that our athletes to fill in our educational system, from the grades up.
The increasing popularity of intramural sports and the benefits which educators admit are derived from them, attest the importance of athletics in our educational program. Some students want to make sure that their athletes enough allow them to make a creditable showing—and we don't necessarily mean a lifetime, either. Here is a problem well worth the consideration of the layman and educator. We'd appreciate any correspondence on the matter.
FORGIVE US, PLEASE for the inclusion of the following in our columny, but the Sullivan of the New York Graphic, has said that the importance of athletics in our educational program is given the lofty chapman, by the Nordics of the fabric kingdom.
Whether you agree with him or not, Mr. Sullian says that the boys won't play with Gawge because he is too big, and they won't play with Tommy Loughran because he is too small. Of these two Quaker City boxers, the metropolitan columnist says:
"The permanent exclusion of the two Philadelphiaans, Loughran and Godfrey, has topped the entire heavyweight industry. All the rest of the ponderous fighting midfets have been matched so often that fight fans thumb their noses at encores.
"Sharkey has fought Risko. Risko has fought Maloney. Maloney has licked Heenay. Heenay has visited Paolino's home and the Uscudan family played bridge with the Von Porat's club. The Chicago Von Porat's have shared cauliflowers with the Cleveland Riskos and the New Zealand Heeneys.
All of them have been beaten and all of them have fought or have been features in wins but in the passage of time, the rubby little belters have belted themselves out of return date."

Santop's Broncos Defeat Trenton, 4-2
TRENTON, N. J.—The Trenton A. C., conquerors of Hildale, by a 14-3 score, were downed by Santop's Broncos by a 4-2 score, here last week. Bill Milton. Santop ace pitcher, was in form, allowing 6 hits and 6 strikeouts, and gave 2 runs in the first inning. Trenton was helpless after the third. Wilkerson, a recent short-stop, accepted six changes with two lightning double plays without a miscue. Lewis, first baseman, accepted 11 chances without a bounce, which looked like a homer, but the high wind held it for a triple and landed on the left field. Coffee of Trenton, gave up 5 hits and runs and also had 4 strike-outs. TRENTON BRONCOS

AMOCOAS
STAND around the pumps in a filling station for a while--and you'll learn something! You'll learn that the man who orders AMOCO-GAS orders it without hitch or hesitation--in a tone of voice that leaves no doubt that he knows what he wants and intends to get it!
You'll find that the man or woman who orders AMOCO-GAS manipulates his or her car with certainty and assurance that comes from confidence--that AMOCO-GAS users are plainly motorists of experience. And that their cars--whether brand new ones or veterans of the road-show by performance that they have been carefully driven and kept in the best of condition!
For when a man or woman is proud of a car--you may be sure that it's on an AMOCO-GAS diet--receiving the best of treatment in return for the best of service!
"Certainly, AMOCO-GAS!"--that's the order of the motorist who knows what's what and intends to get it!

Police Round Up Revellers in Six Homes in Saturday Night Clean-Up.
GET D. C. GUESTS
Four Visitors from Washington, Taken at Party.
Loud music and boisterous noises caused raids on six homes and the arrest of 68 persons, this week.
The raids were made by officers of the Northwestern, Western, Southwestern and Southern districts. The largest raid netted 14 persons, when the house at 667 Haw street, was entered by policemen who found a crap game in progress. Seven persons were arrested when the house at 901 Leadenhall street, was raided, after police had received a complaint from neighbors that several persons were making whoopee in the house. At 1023 S. Eutaw street, 13 persons were arrested when a policeman was attracted to the house by the loud humming of a player piano. Entertaining visitors from Washington, Miss Lillian Ramsey, 806 Spring street, allowed the music to be played midnight, and as a result, the hostess and her guest were arraigned in the Southwestern police station where they were fined $1 and costs each.
When a free-for-all fight started at 611 Laefayette avenue, only the timely appearance of policemen stopped the affair. Those taken in the raid were fined $10 and costs each, when arrained in the Northwestern police station, Sunday.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Representative Oscar DePriest, Republican, of Illinois, in a speech before a mass meeting held under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the People of the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal church Tuesday night, urged a compact organization of his race for the full attainment of the bounty and the development of their economic well-being.
Edward H. Morris, grand master of the Grand United State of Illinois, introduced Mr. DePriest. He praised his fighting spirit, calling him courageous and a man who would brook no insult. Mr. DePriest has the influence of people at heart, Mr. Morris said.

He suggested that these organizations should be given annual meetings and asked to put a tax of 25 cents on each member to go to a war chest fund for the purpose of collecting with political battles of the race.

Anything white has virtue. The thway of the Negro out of his economic plight. Mr. DePriest said that the trade with those businesses that show him the most consideration. He pointed to the Chicago example. If a business did not employ colored people in its business, he said the thing to do, he said, is to trade with the one giving members of the race employment.
He suggested the extension of the method of economic situation—the organization of every block in a city with one or two women responsible for a block and a house-to-house campaign.

virile, fighting branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of the Epistle Old Testament approved of the accomplishments of the association.
Fraternal organizations have been overlooked by the association, he pointed out, and the organization he suggested that these organizations be approached at their annual meetings and asked to put up a poster to go to a war chest fund for the purpose of fighting the civil and political battles of the race. Any group, regardless of color having a war chest, would be able to be raised through this method, would have little trouble in protecting their rights, he declared. To know their rights, he said, people would know the source of their rights. Through his publication and distribution of copies of the Constitution, he stated, he hoped that the race would become an in and out force of their rights.
Since some of his nominees for the United States Naval Academy and the United States Military Academy had faced various causes, he had been receiving letters from other members of Congress calling attention to his vacancies in the service and had qualified appointees and asking him if he would appoint them. He replied to them that he has no vacancies. As long as he is in Congress, he is going to appoint of his race. One of the primary handicaps of the race, he said, has been its dependence on "bread and butter" food. He would sacrifice the race if their "bread and butter" the next morning depended upon their doing so. The time has come for a federal education program to get away from "bread and butter leadership." Mr. DePriest proposed the passage of a Federal election law or the reduction of representation from those in which disfranchisement is practiced.
He is being treated as well as any other member of Congress, he said, but he is just a little lonesome. He expressed the wish that some other congressional district would send him company.

Brighter Outlook in Diversified Occupations, Says Director T. Arnold Hill.
The following release was made through the department of industrial relations of the National Urban League of which T. Arnold Hill is
Our employment reports for April present a brighter outlook in certified occupation and a spirit optimistic in observing. Of the two cities which supplied us with information, only four reported important losses for April, from ever, to the falictions to say that "it is well. The mechanization of industry, removal of industry to the exclusive causes from unions that negatively cause the Negro to suffer. It is a foregone conclusion that Negroes in the South, even when they are members of white wages than whites. In North and South Carolina, Jacksonville, Savannah and Birmingham whites may be excelling in covering, cleaning streets and as scavengers—all forms formerly done by Negroes.
IN DES MOINES.
An employment committee was organized in Des Moines in connection with the Interracial Commission in an endeavor to open employment for Negroes. The committee was organized in Jofferson City to assist in securing jobs for Negroes and to promote Negro business. A survey of economic and industrial conditions of Negroes made in Denver, Va. De Resid, the department of research of the National Urban League. Recently the Women's Federation discussed industry in Washington the National Urban League discussed a four-day trip to Losville and Trends in Employment, and the second Finding conference at Durham was forced by almost every speaker to consider some phase of the Negro's economic life. The bristling sessions of the Dining Car Walters' association, just closed in New York, reflected this new awakening, while the persuance of the Pullman and the encouragement F of L. Affair keeps the relationship of Negroes to trade unionism constant.

workers which is difficult to fill because of the low wages offered. In St. Louis the demand for skilled and unskilled workers in diversified employment reached the highest peak for the past nine months. A new plant opened in Canton, employing 14 molders and 50 laborers. The company is considering some Negroes as apprentice molders.
LOSSES
the tendency to replace Negroes with Filipinos in apartments in Los
with Filipinos in apartheid Angeles continues to have three hundred Negroes off the clay and the establishment in St. Louis while inventory and repairs are being made. The closing of the Commerce Mall relieves the Negroes of expenses, cashier and kitchen help of jobs. Pittsburgh experiences a large loss in mining, approximately 200 Negroes having lost out because of a decrease in employment.
MIGRATION.
Newark and Brooklyn report a movement of labor into the city, particularly in the South. Spartanburg reports that a few Nerges have gone back to the farm. Many brickmasons have migrated to the city. The Association of that city warns against further inflow. The precarious situation of mining in Pittsburgh has caused a migration of Nerges from one mine to another.
UNIONS.
Albert Weisbord, secretary of the National Textile Workers' Union announced that permanent. Southern headquarters would be operated for the union in Charlotte, and pleaded for the inclusion of Negroes in the union. He told the team that the drive is to ensure, it is absolutely necessary for Negroes to be admitted on equal footing with the whites.

ARRESTED IN ALLEGED LUNCHROOM STABBING
Man Found Hiding, with Three Bullets in His Body
Arthur Brown, who was all alleged, was shot by an Italian restaurant proprietor while he was in the act of stabbing a waitress to whom he had been paying attention, was arrested by police eight hours after the shooting and found with three bullets in his body. The police, of being police, said, until he was being questioned at the Eastern Station when he began to hold his side and back and complained of being taken to John Hopkins Hospital where three bullets were taken from him.
The stabbing and shooting is said to have taken place in the lunch room at 1232 Pratt street, when Albanese halted the plunging knife of Brown near the heart of Lula Johnson with three shots from his pistol. Both Brown and Pratt fled the place in opposite directions.
The woman, who was found with a stab wound under heart, is out of danger. The children were injured. The abuser was released in the care of his attorney.
Hurt by Hit-and-Run Auto
Driving on the Annapolis road near Furnace Branch, Dorsey Vogel, 1236 S. Eutaw street, received a probable fractured right leg and two ribs when his machine was struck by a hit-and-run automobile causing his vehicle to overturn Sunday.
