N. Y. Urban League Industrial Secretary Says High School Graduates Meet Many Hardships. Negroes Invented the Secret Society. Klan Copied Colored Fraternal Orders.
Doctor Is Acting Governor of West Indian Island
Howard Graduate Was Host to Senator Hiram Johnson and ex-Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania.
NEW YORK—Many Colored high school girls are being denied jobs for which they are fitted into a few mulatto dresses "assisting" in their job, better jobs, declared Samuel A. Allen, Director of Industry; New York Urban League, at the industry session of the American Society on Social and Cultural Conditions held in London, last week.
Because of the unemployment among Negroes, it has become a serious problem. He has been beaten up, and there has sprung up number-playing, baseball pools, and bootlegging. "The Negro is afraid to be drained Mr. Krause to a difficult work on and see himself getting poorer and see himself each year. He is asking always for the chance to protect his children, and protect his home."
The session on Labor and Industry was held at the New London Power Company Community House. Homer K. Underwood, Principal of the Lehigh High School. Addresses were given by organizer of Boston, Mass., and Samuel A. Allen, Director of Industry. New York Urban League.
Mr. Lei is urged the Urban League to consider in its program old age pensions, unemployment insurance and collective Sargaining as methods to overcome the prejudice that the Negro worker has to face in industry.
Secret Societies
In discussing what the Negro has contributed to civilization, Maurice R. Davie, Professor of Sociology and Economics at Yale, clared that he had invented the secret society. In the case of the Ku Klux Klan, the whites took the Negro's invention and turned it against him. In another case, Dr. Davie, "the only truly artistic expression that has come from the life of the people that is distinctly American has been contributed by Negroes." His includes their race, music, music and secular, and their dancing. These folk creations of the Negro have been taken over and assimilated so that they are no longer solely the Negro who drew attention to the economic, educational, and religious progress of the Negro since Emancipation and the contribution to American Civilization. He skilled workers and professional people of the Negro Race. He quoted Vincent Brice and Lamont Abbott to the effect that never was a similar period of the Negro-Saxon group made such progress.

Crowd at Detroit Stars' Park
STANDS 15 YEARS OLD
Believe Gasoline, Used in Drying Field, to Blame.
DETROIT, (Special) — Police and fire authorities are investigating the blaze which broke out in the main grandstand of the Detroit Field, here Sunday, injuring 125 persons, seven of whom may die from injuries and burns.
More than 2,000 fans had gathered in the park to see the Stars and the Kansas City Monarchs play a doubleheader. The fire witnesses say, followed an explosion that left five men minded and spread rapidly the entire length of the wooden structure as the crowd surged toward the exits.
The panic-striken crowd then stamped, and some leaped from the stands to the street, while the drumming to the playing field were trampled under. Ninety-nine of the injured, mostly race fans, were patients in the receiving hospital, while the wounded were ushers and sent home. Thirty suffered fractured arms or legs.
Had Used Gasoline
Park officials point out that gasoline, used to dry off the diamond, can be used in rain Saturday, may have been responsible for the blaze, though some witnesses say the 15-year-old became ignited from a match or cigarette.

HOOVER THOUGHT READY TO NAME ROBERT VANN
Pittsburgh Editor Slated for Post of U. S. Assistant Attorney General.
Mabel Willebrandt's Resignation Makes Place Available.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Appointment of Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier and an attorney, as an assistant attorney general of the United States, is being seriously considered by President Herbert Hoover and Attorney General William D. Mitchell, according to reliable reports.
Mr. Vann was director of publicity for the colored voters division of the Republican national committee during the presidential campaign. His appointment was supported by the colored voters division, which John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal church, was the head, and Dr. Emmett Till, treasurer of Howard university, a member of the executive committee.
MOTON BACKED HIM.
Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, recently called on the President in the interest of Mr. Vann. Senator David A. Reed and the Republican government also backing the Pittsburgh editor for the post postmaster General Walter F. Brown, who supervised the work of the colored voters in the campaign, said to favor the appointment of Mr. Vann.
ONE PLACE VACANT.
There is only one assistant attorney generalship vacant in the Department. There was a vacancy that vacancy was caused by the resignation of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. She had charge the attorney general. Mrs. Vann could be appointed to that vacancy and given any assignment that the attorney general might see.
"Assistant" cabinet officers are regarded as in the official cabinet social circle. The "Assistants" of cabinet chiefs of the cabinet have "Special assistants" have no official social status.
LEWIS ONCE HELD POST.
Only one colored man has served as an assistant attorney general. He is William H. Lewis, of Boston, who served with distinction under the Taft administration. The Republican national committee man for Mississippi, was a special assistant to the attorney general at a salary of $6,400.
He resigned following his acquittal in jury in the United States court at Meridian, Miss., on a charge of bartering Federal patronage. There is only one colored attorney in the Department of Justice now. He is R. Melfinger, who rose from a clerkship.
N. J. N.A.A.C.P. Halt Theatre Jim-Crow
BAYONNE, N.J.-Race discrimination creeping into one of the largest theatres here was halted last week, when a committee reported that the manager and secured a promise that employees would not be allowed to jim-crow colored people, it was announced by Dr. George L. Johnson, president.
For sometime, according to President Johnson this theatre had been sending its colored patrons to the gallery on the alibi that he had had taken. In other cases of orchestra tickets were also sent up stairs only to find plenty of seats down stairs. The committee, which consisted of Mrs. Hattie Williams, the new V. A. Myers and his daughter, gave the custom enforcement notice that unless the custom was stopped they would take the fight to the community.
NEW YORK—Declaring that the 65,000 Negroes of Brooklyn are treated in the main by Negro physicians, who are denied opportunity for science and character, in medical hospitals, leaders have presented a petition signed by heads of civic, church and fraternal organizations, asking Dr. William Scholes, School of Medicine, to appoint race physicians and nurses in Brooklyn hospitals.
WASHINGTON. — William Henry Johnson, one of the most noted American soldiers to go to France in 1715, was a soldier in the French forces, died here last week, almost in poverty in a little 7th street home. Johnson, who was the first American to ever win the Croix De Guerre, was a soldier who dredged metals for bravery and heroism in military service. His personal daring and courageous fighting surpassed that of any other soldier who fought in the war. He is remembered in connection with Needham Roberts, who, when trapped by a squad of German soldiers, slashed their way out and won. He was a soldier by a wife, Mrs. Mimle Johnson, and was buried with full military honors in Arlington cemetery, Friday.

Rev. Lawrence Fenniger Acts in Sympathy with Principal Gregg
HAMETON INSTITUTE Va.—Following closely upon the resignation of Principal Gregg, which becomes effective here July 10th, the Rev. Laurence Fenniger, for more than a decade a teacher at Hampton Institute, announced his resignation last week.
The Rev. Fenniger was one of the most popular members of the faculty and organized the Hampton Ministers Conference, which he developed from a membership of 23 to 500. He is believed that he has privileged his reform proposals laid down by students during their strike in the fall of 1927.
Although the reason given by Dr. Fenniger was that he needed a rest, it is believed that he has privileged his post in sympathy with the resignation of Principal Gregg.

N.A.A.C.P. on the Other.
WASHINGTON, (C.N.S.) — Because of fear of whites on the one hand and the N.A.A.C.P. on the other, 300 race workers set out because of the compulsion of the thinking of the new U. S. currency, will not be reemplowed in the Division of Loans and Currency as 300 whites will, it was admitted by heads of the department, last week.
Last Saturday 600 women, half of them colored, let out from the Bureau of Engraving, were told that they would be given preference for applications which will be the new temporary force which will be the new force of whom which will flow back into the Treasury as a result of the new currency.
No Provisions
In applying at the Division of Loans and Currency at the Treasury, which will handle the counting of the old money, it was learned, however, that no provision has been made for the hiring of any of the colored men, among those dismissed at the Bureau. They were told quite frankly that friction would be bound to arise should they be hired; from the whites, should they be scattered about, and from the colored men, of the moment, if Colored People and others, should they be organized into sections to work together.
A similar situation was met at the Census Bureau when several applied for the temporary work which allowed them to understand there that since the abolition of the colored section at the request of the N.A.A.C., the policy concerning the community and women had not been worked out.

All Invited
All disabled veterans who were physically able to attend were included in the invitation, and practically all of them were happy to be the guests of the President's Hood on the lawn, which, although in annual event, was particularly exciting for everybody present in that there were brand new hosts, and new groups of officials to help welcome them.
After the formal greetings the President and Mrs. Kennedy passed a word of cheer and special greeting, particularly to those in wheel chairs.
It was one of the happiest annual garden fetes given for the disabled soldiers in the many years since the armistice.

Smith College Faculty Forbidden to Dance or

Alumnus Declares President's Wife Lectured Faculty at Chapel Service.
LID CLAMPED DOWN
Profs Forbidden to Smoke,
Dance or Play Cards.
CHARLOTTE, N.C.-That faculty cooperation is being demoralized by "petticoat rule" and that the registrar carries an M.A. degree behind his name which has never been conferred among charges by an alumnus of that institution this week.
Calling attention to the fact that during the last two years only about $1100 have been raised in the new alumni cadmium project, and that Mrs. Johnson C. Smith gave $500 of money. Alumnus says that the alumni members are losing interest in their alma mater.
Teacher Turnover
Not only do young teachers with a master's degree leave the institution after they have gotten a year of experience there, the annual turnover among teachers is more than fifty per cent, the writer de-
Petticoat Rule
One of the sore spots at Smith save Alumnus, is the persistent action of the president's wife in trying to control the private affairs of the faculty members, and seeking their dismissal when she finds that she cannot do so.
Card playing, dancing and smoking incur her displeasure, he says, and she has been known to lecture to the faculty at the college chap service while whispered hubby listened and said no longer.
Not all are professors not given an definite term of appointment, but are dismissed without trial or notice.
No Faculty Meetings
For four years there has been no professional meeting of the faculty, says the writer, and the institution has come to the place where it must secure its teachers through agencies, while many of its alumni must find employment elsewhere. Why, asks Katherine, does the dean have to get his information on administrative affairs from chapel arrangements? Why does the registrar together with the president's wife and two members from the theological faculty (the latter graduates of Biddle more than 35 years ago), decide all the policies this modern college? Why were the dean and some other faculty members of the faculty who differed with these prefaculty divisions embarrassed and threatened with discharge for failing to report the administration?
Do the rating boards know that the registrar publishes in the catalogue after his name a master's degree which has never been conferred? Do they know that the deans of Smith are figure-heads?

Through their official life the Bruces were conspicuous at receptions, dances and
Hospitality
"They also were known for their hospitality, for they believed in entertaining as well as being entertained. The couple first lived at No. 909 M Street Northwest, which was the scene of many official and social affairs. Then they moved to a five-story brownstone house at No. 909 J Street Northwest near Convention Avenue, near the section of Washington. Senator James G. Blaine Senator Stewart and Thomas Nelson Page were among their neighbors.
"When her husband was in the Senate, Mrs. Bruce had her carriage and coachman and called on the wives of other Senators. They, in turn, visited her home, in accordance with etiquette as prescribed by official Washington. Nobody is known to have thrown a fit and there were no demagogues who could be also the eruces supremacy. Mrs. Bruce numbered among her best friends the wife of Gen. John A. Logan.
"The Bruces spent six months abroad on their honeymoon. In London they were presented to Queen Victoria, and entertained by the United States diplomatic representatives at London and Paris. Senator Bruce, also of an engagement with his colleagues, was one of his closest friends and warmest admirers was Senator L. Q. C. Lamar of Mississippi, an aristocrat and a member of one of the State's oldest and best families. The spectacle of the two men walking arm and arm down Pennsylvania Avenue is always discussed when old-timers who know Washington history get together and delve into the past.

"It is no secret that C. H. J. Taylor, a Negro of intellectual attainments, was a frequent visitor at the White House the first term Grover Cleveland was President. The story goes that when Cleveland wanted to temporarily forget the cares of state, he would invite his friend to drop in for an hour or two. Taylor was a gifted story teller and his anecdotes always proved to be a mental tonic for the President. "The high esteem in which Cleveland held Taylor was indicated when he named the Negro as Minister to Bolivia. The nomination was turned down by a Republican Senate. Taylor was reelected. Taylor as reeeder of deeds for the District of Columbia, and he was confirmed by the Senate, and served as such.)

"Twenty-one Negroes held seats in the House of Representatives between the Fortieth and Fifty-sixth sessions of Congress. With their wives they attended official functions and deported themselves with becoming self-respecting Negroes of today, they did not push themselves or seek what the South refers to as social equality. But they did accept the complimentary consideration to which they were entitled by reason of position."

Alfred Aldridge Says He Has Pulled Five Jobs.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Alfred Aldridge, 20, brother of Albert Aldridge, who was shot and killed early Friday morning by Police Harry J. McDonald of the Third Precinct after the policeman was seriously wounded, admitted to police Monday that he held the gun with which the officer was wounded.
His slain brother pressed his finger against the trigger causing it fire, Aldridge explained.
His confession followed the finding of an exploded shell at the scene of the gun battle which fitted a gun found at Alfred's home. He denied, however that he shot the policeman.
Aldridge was arrested Sunday afternoon on a street car by three policemen who covered him with their guns. He was taken to the Third Precinct station for questioning.
Five Burglaries
Brother Shot
Alfred escaped, but McDonald shot and mortally wounded his older brother. Alfred spent the day in a vacant house near Eighteenth and Q streets. He went to his roaming room at 502 the twenty-second birthplace. He wandered there only a few minutes. He wandered around the streets all night.
He returned to his roaming place about noon Sunday. Again he stayed only a few minutes. At Eighteenth street he walked. He guarded a street car, at Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue, Lieut. W. E. Holmes and Detective J. L. Eillman; of the Third Precinct, arrested him.
Just before his death, the older brother, Albert, said his name was Williams. He was identified by Albert Aldridge and showed that he had escaped from a Massachusetts prison. Alfred told police that he had escaped from a reformatory school in Massachusetts. The two were going from city to city, spending a day in New York before they went to Baltimore and then came here.
McDonald is reported to be improving at Emergency Hospital.

Takes Headquarters Back to Atlanta.
WASHINGTON. — (CNS.) The National headquarters maintained by the Ku Klux Klan, directly opposite the National Catholic Welfare Council, was abandoned last week and the organization will operate from Atlanta.
The Klan pitched its National headquarters here a year ago principally on account of the Presidential campaign. It was believed that this was the best place to direct its fight against the Democratic candidate. A few as quietly as they stole into the Nation's Capital, they packed and stole away. None in Washington mourn their departure, the only regret voiced being that Imperial Wizard Evans cannot be persuaded to accompany them, but intends rather, to maintain offices of his own in Washington.
Local Branch
The difficulties of the local branch of the Klan, which has been in a rundown condition for some time and has seldom mustered a baker's dozen at recent meetings, indicate their unpopularity in this city, and are responsible for the change of headquarters. The District of Columbia Klan, however, made one last effort to interest their members and stray officers, by holding a mass meeting Saturday night in a Maryland suburb. The Hoover-DePriest Tea party was the main topic of discussion by the speakers.
Political Equality
The inclusion of Mrs. De Priest, wife of the colored Representative from Illinois, in the list of guests at the reception should not reflect upon the President, but rather upon the people of the United States for the enactment of the Fifteenth amendment, declared the Imperial Wizard. He said: "When we gave the Negro political equality we gave him social equality, and the only way to eliminate a recurrence is to repeal the Fifteenth amendment." The Wizard then pleaded for a conquestalization movement in a finish fight for white supremacy. He declared that "racial integrity is the only factor that will prevent the MONGELIZATION of the white race." The meeting was poorly attended.

DANCE HALLS
DANCE HALLS
By L. H. JOLLEY
Although the weather conditions have been hard on dancers, promoters have been holding entertainments the entire season and seem to be working with the open air carnivals that are now being given by various organizations in the different sections of the city.
Nothing could be more entertaining than a pathetic threat to the young men and women exerting themselves almost to prostration from dancing the Wampus at the Spanish-American War Veterans' open air carnival at Madison and Lanvale streets, pulling, pulling and jerking the delicate little Misses with furl bottom dresses all over the dance ring, each looking as if he had taken a shower as the streamlets of perspiration ran down their backs and faces. But they must have an outlet for their energy.

The progress making viphonage has sent another of Baltimore's orchestras reeling back to the point where they started. furnishing the jazz that guests may trip a lighthouse and the music that they create.

Since the installation of a talking picture machine at the Royal, the orchestra that is considered one of Baltimore's best, has been taking part in the music and find them among the music makers and with plenty of new hits.
"Bob" Young
The interesting and popular "Bob" Young, leader of one of Balmurre's former novelty dance orchestras, has been a combination that is second to none. Many of his former players, including Ambrose Smith, John Lee, Dave Wharton, Wilbur Reed, and others, have been involved. Much is expected of the old gang.

The Municipal Band,—"Radio Reve."—Poor Church Choirs.
The Municipal Band, under the direction of Charles Harris, shows yearly improvement, and it must be very gratifying to the municipi$^1$ authorities and the interested colored citizens whose united efforts have made the band possible.
Mr. Harris is very wisely drawing no partisan lines when it comes to the municipality, largely based in Baltimore. Many times musical organizations are much weakened because some of their members are selected solely on the basis of friendliness, loyalty, have in Baltimore the municipal director of music allows the conductors of the several municipal bands a free hand in the management of the members of the individual organizations.
Mr. Harris has selected his men solely on merit and as long as he continues that policy, his band will be considered as an efficient musical organization.
The attendance at the band concerts has been very upless." The Radio Revue." Prima Jerry Revue, at the Hill Street Junior High School, and his co-workers, surely are deserving of congratulations for the quiet unnotorious manner in which they put on that project called the "Radio Revue." The play itself represented an original work by Mr. Eugene Carlson, a musician who played the music in the school is directed by Miss Carrie Smith, who is planning a splendid music program that bids homage to "perhaps" many of our local music lovers.
Poor Church Choirs.
Local churchgoers surely must be troubled in mind and spirit, when they hear some of the "music" which our local choirs inflict upon "life" in the church. They must also hear the parson preach and pray. There are many causes for the poor choirs now doing service, if it may be called service. Despite the fact that many of our choirs study voice in all its phases, the most of our church musical services are almost a mockery. Sometimes this state of affairs is due to apathy on the part of ministers who do not understand their services, contribute largely to the support of the church directly (and to the minister, indirectly), spend car-fare in making fraternal visits and then buy all music they want. All of the foregoing may be in line with one's Christian duty, but it is just not being done. Another cause for almost complete stagnation is the manv of our local professional vocalists will not under any circumstances sing a number gratitiously unless they believe that some prominent citizens of both groups will be present then there is a surfeit of
A third cause for the cheap types of music service given by our choirs, is the ing by the members of large congregations. Many times well-selected and well-organized choirs can be cut off without the formality of cadences in order to read out sgmbebd's middle initial who has just contributed a dollar. Much has to be done before to bring up the work of our choirs.
HEAT DRAWS CROWDS TO BROWN'S GROVE
with the advent of the hot weather, the popularity of the resort and its attendant day and moonlight excursions has been increasing by leaps and bounds. Last Saturday night a large crowd sailed toward the beach, a customer Avalon, on the moonlight outing sponsored through Ernest Purviance for the Pride of Baltimore Lodge of Elks. Dancing and card playing furnished entertainment for the merry-makers during the merry day, while the guests contentment in relaxing on the deck, to be cooled by the bay breezes. The dancing was continued at the pavilion and many enjoyed the various amusements and rides provided at the grove. Among the churches held the M.E. Sunday school, Bethel A.M.E. Church, Union Baptist Sunday school and Metropolitan M.E. Church. Grownups and kiddies alike, enjoyed these outings which partook of the nature of old fashioned plenies and real get-together with the church people and their friends.
Moonlight excursions this week included the Nonpariaries, Good Hope No. 14, Blue Ribbon Junior Pleasure Social Club, Advisory Council of the Hagerstown District Sunday school workers, and the Chief of Sharp have been lavish in their praise of the Avalon which is the only steamer in the state run exclusively by and for people of the race.

Must Seek Truth at Any Cost DuBois Tells Morgan College Summer School.
DR. SPENCER HONORED
Gets Floral Tribute on 72nd Birthday.
We do not settle human problems by ignoring them, but thru seeking after the truth and studying the facts of view, "Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, told the students of the Morgan College summer school at their assembly Thursday." Contrary to the general impression and belief among white and colored people that the Negro is peculiarly free from conspiracy, we know that more conventional group than the American Negro. They are bound by conventions and inhibitions.
In order to broaden the individual should get away from the study of the intensely practical things, which result in the acquisition of clothes, food, and entertainment to the individual which are not useful. To this aim Dr. DuBois advocated the reading of those things with which one does not agree in their opinion, and the truth. The tendency of the average periodical of today is to find out what the people want and to give to them. This he continued. The policy of giving the readers the opposite point of view is always carried out in the first editorial of the Crisis. This is the point in which most people will violently disagree. In this type of reading lies the Negro's chance for cultural development, he advised the students. Bols, the director of the summer school, Eugene A. Clark, assistant superintendent of schools, Washington, D.C., the professor of Anderson, who after giving a resume of the work of Dr. Spencer in his 27 years as president of Morgan College, present a lecture in honour to his 22nd birthday.
In 1002 when Dr. Spencer assumed his duties as president he found the college with assets amounting to $103,000 including buildings, ground, and facilities at the university branch schools. Today the college assets of the school are $781,000 and will be increased to $1,000,000 when the new dormitor; for men and the science hall are completed. From 1908 to 1912 he increased to over 500 students, and the college is now accredited and has a class A college rating.
In his response Dr. Spencer declared that in his 27 years with the college he has made numerous treasures to draw the color line. H. Milton Gross also made remarks.

game?
A couple of slick fellows tried the pocketbook game on a well known pastor of the eastern shore on Light street. Thursday of this week.
One of them maced the parson and declared he wanted to find someone in the city, but did not know where he lived. In the meantime, his pal walking along front, stopped down and picked up a well-filled pocket book.
The first gent called the parson's attention and suggested that they call on the fellow and have him divide up. The suggestion was carried out and the second fellow agreed to divide. Before the game was concluded the parson declined to mix any further and left.
Ride the Busses
Unmildled of its character as a public utility, using the streets of Baltimore for its auto busses, and in defiance of the public laws and the rights of 120,000 colored citizens, the United Railway and Electric company has instructed its motormen and conductors to bar colored passengers Afro makes this statement despite assurance from United officials that no such order has been issued.
Light complexioned Afro reporters last week were not only invited to ride in busses which stopped for them at ride areas where there were no busses, but courteous conductors assisted them in getting on and off.
To the contrary, these same busses ran by the corners where dark-skinned reporters signalled them, and in two out of five attempts actually barred or pushed reporters from the rear platforms.
Thompkins, assistant to President Emmons of the United, told the Afro that Baltimore's policy, not the United's policy, is responsible for the exclusion of Negro passengers from busses.
Our view, however, is that Baltimore's policy is best expressed in its street cars which haul
If the United has the power to bar Negroes from ten bus lines which travel the city's streets, why hasn't it also power to bar them from its street cars or to provide jim crow cars? The United knows it has no superiority and that its presumption of high handed policing is law and public policy. The Airo advises Colored Baltimore to ride the buses or find out why they may not.
Honorary Degrees
Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently confered the honorary degree of master of arts upon Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute—worthy successor to a great educator of his race.” Harvard also awarded the same degree to the late Dr. R. R. Moton, more than these two men only has Harvard selected from millions of Negroes as worthy of distinguished recognition. In each case the degree conferred has the master's degree, which is one step lower than the doctorate.
While we believe, of course, that Dr. Moton is worthy of any degree in the gift of Harvard, we wonder why it felt unable to confer the higher degree. We are not more than that discovered only two such persons that it felt willing to invite into its notable circle.
Was Frederick Douglass unworthy of its high favor, or Henry Highland Garnett, or Colonel Charles Young, or Lieutenant-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, or Mr. Henry O. Tanner, the artist.
Happy we do not need to look to Harvard for the dispensing of dignifying titles. Lincoln (Pa.) University and a half dozen lesser colleges have already loaded Dr. Moton and others, with laurels.
Morgan has averaged three honorary degrees a year for the past five years. Johnson C. Smith University has averaged four, Shaw two, Wilberforce six, and Virginia Union three. Paul Quillen has granted three honorary degrees in the past two years, also awarded twenty-one honorary degrees—an average of ten a year. Talladega, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical, Fisk, West Virginia State, Hampton, and Tuskegee have conferred no honorary degrees in the past five years. The University of Education's survey of Morgan College, Baltimore, recommended last year: "That Morgan College discontinue its policy of granting what appears to be an excessive number of honorary degrees and that hereafter the master's degree be granted only in course." This opinion from the government's highest education authority shows that it not only disregards upon the honorary master's degree whether granted by Morgan or Harvard—but it also disapproves the practice of granting an excessive number of honorary distinctions. All of which can be taken to mean that honorary degrees in the future shall be limited to philanthropic and/or georgian state and university, and likely to give the college a new building or add to its endowment.
A Patriotic Lie
A Patriotic Lie
Senator Pat Harrison (Democrat, Mississippi) delivered the principal Fourth of July address in the U. S. Government-owned Syllan theatre. Washington, last week, in which (as reported in the daily papers):
"He paid tribute to the three million people who had the courage to throw down the gage of battle to the most powerful nation on the face of the earth some 153 years ago and declare their independence.
"After outlining the marvelous growth of the nation, the senator urged his audience to study and determine for themselves whether or not the principles on which the country is founded are being maintained and dissemination were timbers refused by the illusorious builders of this great structure," he declared, 'and we should in the administration of government see to it that every class of our people and every section of broad land be treated just and alike.
This same Pat Harrison has boasted in the Senate that his State keeps Negroes from the polls. He against voted the anti-lynching bill and against the confirmation of every Negro nominated for Federal appointment by the Senate.
"Pat doesn't believe what he said, nor has he lived up to it. In the fervor of Fourth of
July oratory, he got closer to the ideals of America than he has ever been before. Nevertheless, his address shows that he has been reading the Bible in Independence. This is a good example for, perhaps in his last days, he will be opened to the great principles of freedom and equality that it contains.

Every self-respecting person does claim the right to mingle with his fellows, if he is invited, and to be free from insult or hindrance because of his presence." The South has its own ideas of race superior-

The South lumps all of this together, calls it "social equality" and opposes it at every turn.

We Celebrate
Last week the Fourth of July was celebrated with 159 deaths throughout the country—46 fewer than last year. Tabulation of these fatalities shows seven killed by fireworks, seven by autos, seventy-one by drowning, eleven deaths from other causes, airplane accidents.
However, five hundred children in New York alone were treated for fireworks burns and the nation's list of injured is estimated at ten thousand. Fire resulting from fireworks did damages amounting to $2,000,000. Yes sir, when we celebrate the Fourth, we do a good job.

Mr. DePriest Doesn't Agree With You and Is More Interested in Getting Officers in the Army and Navy Than in "Proving" Any Theory. To be Mr. DePriest should name some white boy from his district to the Naval Academy or to West Point. That will prove to whites we do not carry race animosity in our hearts like dogs. Perhaps that would open the eyes of some of the white congressmen. We are no more responsible for this in this world than the white man is. We are not responsible for being black.

The Church Might Live Up to its Sermons and Let Morgan Develop its Fullest.
To the Editor:
Instr asir *hater*: education is concerned. Morgan is the only hope of the race in Maryland. Therefore, its opportunities to become a great minister in the church is limited to it. If the church, as it claims, is for higher education and greater race schools, it ought to waive its rights to hold, and let Morgan go, if by so doing, she will become a greater school than the church can possibly make her.
As to demanding what she as in put in Morgan, she will demand, makes one think if after all, whether the church has been giving or loaning to Morgan.
Perhaps she is within her rights, but it is a poor example of the spirt of giving. Surely it will be a sacrifice for the church to give up Morgan without a return, but she preaches it, why not give it?

We are opening club houses in every city in the United States, and schools to train our girls and boys to do things by scientific methods. We are a waiters' organics and we have a women's auxiliary.

From the Kitchen to the Theological Department Petticoat Government is Alleged at Johnson C. Smith University.
To the Editor:
I have read two articles in your paper relative to conditions at Johnson C. Smith. May I be permitted to express general undergraduate sentiment. There is real trouble there. There is real cause for dissatisfaction. The students feel that Johnson C. Smith, as a man's school, ought to be managed and run by a man. Unfortunately however, the school is under woman's rule. The president is subject to everything public and private, as relates to the students and faculty. She meets students on the campus or in the halls of buildings and, bawls them out if they do not please her. Professors are subject to the same treatment. She is a certain teacher who had done something during the vacation that she did not like, was bawled out from the rostrum at the chapel services one morning. President McCreory was presiding in the church, and heard it all, but said nothing. She bawled out that professor and stopped speaking to him and his family afterwards, we learned; and now that teacher has gone. He was a good teacher and well-beloved by his students. He came to Charlotte, or even to the state of North Carolina, inquire before you get to the university, who is the president, and you will be told. Mrs. —— is president and rules out there from the kitchen to the

I want the people to know that the condition at Henryton Sanatorium is getting deplorable and it is all because one woman, who is supposed to be superintendent of nurses.
I was a patient there and what I have seen of this woman's conduct is enough to keep patients away.
This woman teaches her nurses to ignore the patients. She impresses on their minds that the patients are inferior to them. She has the ability to have no conversation with the patients because they are not fit associates. She puts it in them to treat us as lepers.

Thanks to Dr. Bragg, Whose Work in Baltimore is a Monument to Long, Earnest, Faithful Public Service.
I am sincerely appreciative of your kind and gracious allusion to my work in your last issue. And I am no less grateful to many of my brethren of Methodist and Baptist lines, than I have had from a point of "perishing" to one of great influence in the diocese. For our constant accents have come from such source. For one hundred and five years, St. James First Apostolic Church, where the only organized body of colored Episcopalians in union with the organized Episcopal church in Maryland. If there be blame for this, it pertains not to the ecclesiastical authority of the Episcopal Church, but to his way of expressing his desired indemnation of colored priests for colored people, and his desire for regular parishes of colored people. Unlike any of his predecessors, every Negro he ordained to the ministry, he has put to work the work of the Episcopal Church. He can not continue this policy unless colored people are willing to receive such. The policy of Bishop Murray means the suffrage and representation in the organization of the church. He cannot parish, of St. James, at the next meeting of the annual diocesan convention will be entitled to six representatives, three clergy, and three laymen. With the Rev.

If Highly Qualified Lincoln Alumnus Will Apply for Position at the University, Demand Will Be Made for His Appointment.
To the Editor: The credit that is due should be given to those friends, members of the Lincoln University alumni, faculty, trustees, that carried the endowment drive over the top. Last summer, together with Richard Hill, I toured the west for the American Friends of Lincoln University and thousand people. In reference to my alma mater I observed two things, first, everywhere we went there Lincoln graduates occupying positions of confidence, respect and distinction. Though the spirit was very much in the way, I was not sure how to bring them together on a program for the school's interest—such as a traveling alumni secretary would do—as suggested by George Goodman.
One reason for the indifference of the student is that honored members of the faculty may be in the policy at Lincoln, to allow student honen to teach lower classmen and also to allow honor graduates to secure a higher degree at the University of Pennsylvania, while teaching at Lincoln. These men admirable in many ways bring to the position the proper understanding.
There are Negro young men in the country who are equipped with the right attitude, the proper academic background, sufficient teaching skills, and the ability to well become members of the faculty at Lincoln and be received by the student body. Let a man with his bachelor's degree, master's degree and his doctor's degree, or one working in the faculty, and the opinion of several of the young members of the alumni with whom I discussed the matter is, that there would be a demand that he be accepted.

Charleston, S.C. Tent Did Not "Blow Down," in Night or as result of Ku Klux Winds. To the table. In the Issue of July 6th, I read these exact words to which I as chairman of the committee on arrangements for the National Sunday School Conference, that invited the congress to Charleston, S.C. The words follow that exception is taken: "Tent Blows Down." The first trouble however, was when they found the meeting place, because some time during the night preceding the opening session, a large tent arranged in the Municipal stadium had 'blown down.' Leaders in Charleston, S.C. had helped the tent, because either the Ku Klux or white hites in the neighborhood of the stadium, who did not want the session held there had helped that tent to 'blow down.' The first place the tent did not blow down at all in the night.
Charleston, S.C. Tent not "Blow Down," in Night or as Result of Du Klu Winds. To the Editor: In July of 6th I read these exact words to which I as chairman of the committee on arrangements for the National Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress and the pastor that invited the congress to Charleston, S.C. to attend the convention "Tent Blow Down." The first trouble however, was when they found the meeting place of the Congress in Charleston had to be changed, because some time during the night preceding the opening of the convention, the stadium had "brown down," Leaders in Charleston who understood the situation believed that either the Ku Klux or hostile whites in the neighborhood of the stadium, who did not want the session held there had helped that tent to "blow down." In the first place the tent did not blow down at all in the night. On the afternoon of June 18th at 4 p.m., the session held there that the pre-convention was to have opened one of these squalls came up from the Ashley river side with a good force, and where the tent was the weakest and rotten, torose, and when the tent did not sway in the tent, it did not get down very quickly or else she would have gone to pieces.
It not only put this tent out of commission, but the one at Burks Industrial school just a block away also was put out of commission. The school's board pledged their backing and cooperation from the beginning, and stood by it till it was over and even now in the wind-up of things, they are sticking with me and have assured me that if I am in the "hole," they will come to my relief. The school's board colored people do not know it through their activities, and so far as race relations is concerned in this city, I will put it up at any time against Baltimore. It is now pending for damages as a result of the tent people sending out a rotten tent that would not stand in.

"IN THE WHITE HOUSE"
(With apologies to Cole Blease)
Things at the White House
Have brightened up a bit,
Making many selfish souls
Use their hidden wit.
Guests in the East room.
Just a different throng;
Voices in the music room
Join in the nation's song.
Echoes from the sitting room
Bring cultured trend of thot;
Music in the ballroom,
How gracefully they waltz.
Not a room in the White House,
Reserved for "just so many";
Baby in the nursery,
Perfect innocence, if any.
ESTHER SIMPSON.
TO COLE BLEASE
Resolutions coming in
Mainly from down south—
Warning President Hoover
To keep the Negroes out.
They fuss about social equality;
The Negro is unconcerned—
They say their race must be preser.
I say, they have lots to learn.
You know the Negroes went to France
And fought like noble kings.
But for one to visit the White House,
It's such a dreadful thing.
Fight on DePriest, fight on.
Until you have reached the goal.
But of Cole Blease Tl only say,
May God bless his old scul.
The Thirteenth Amendment made the chattel into a freeman. The Fourteenth made the freeman a citizen, and the Fifteenth made the citizen an elector. . . The Negro then, owes the Constitution even higher veneration than does the white citizen, for it has made him all that he is or may hope to be.
BY KELLY MILLER
Congresman DePriest has had ten thousand copies of the Constitution printed to be distributed for the education of the Negro in the benten principle of education. Of the men, the Negro should be the enier defender of the Constitution. The white race is the creator of the Constitution; the Negro is its creature. The very beginning, this document has been the shield and buckler of the race. Born amidst the fire and smoke of war, it promulgated the doctrine of the Negro, and the black man was a slave. Not one word about race or slavery was permitted to find placement in this immoral document of its actualities of the sexualities of the situation, even its compromises leaned towards the weak and oppressed. The only reference to race or color in either the original or the Constitution would invidual distinction based upon them.
The Thirteenth Amendment made the chattel into a freeman. The Fourteenth made the fireman a citizen, and the Fifteenth made the Constitution did not make the white race free. Free white men made the Constitution. The Constitution did not make the Constitution. The Constitution did not make the white citizens made the Constitution. The Constitution did not make free white citizens electors; free white electors made the Constitution then owes the Constitution even higher veneration than does the white citizen, for it has made him all that he is or may hope to. White men who amended the original Constitution in behalf of the Negro, at times fail to enforce all of the provisions to the white citizens. Negroes lose patience with their moral reaction and inconsistency. But this should in no wise lessen their arbor for the instrument from which their of their citizenship sprigs spring.
Organic Law
Organic law is intended for the protection of the weak. The strong can always protect and defend them, but the weak can be by sheer force of contemporaneous power. But the weak must rely upon the law. Without power in themselves, they must look to the basic principle from whence cometh their strength. Let it never be lost from mind that the Negro is the beneficiary of the American people, who in a moment of virtue, crystallized his status into one of equality with themselves. In the calmer and more reflective of the Negro, he looks back with asishment at what they did. Only the Thirteenth amendment could be enacted today. The Fourteenth and Nineteenth amendments did not assemble the American mind, but out of the Constitutional amendments, enacted when the Negro was a more tolerant and generous mood.
The comprehensive belief is that these amendments, though somewhat out of harmony with contemporaneous feeling, are in harmony with the far-sweeping purpose of the Constitution, for this reason that, although the public mind complaisantly permits their annulment, it will never tolerate their resinendment. Even if they are not obeyed, they will be held accountable by the Negro would show a short-sighted selfishness if he should limit his enthusiasm for and obedience to the Constitution to those parts and provisions of the Constitution, a specific welfare. Many of our Negro harangers would leave the impression that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are the only features of the Constitution that are racial moment. They fail to understand the fundamental political axiom, which applies with mathematical precision, that the whole is greater than any of the others. Without the hand, of what use were the fingers? Cut off from the life-giving power of the Constitution, those Negro amendments would be as dead and impotent as green blades under pulled from the parent stock.
Congressman DePriest
I very greatly regretted to read in the press dispatches that Congressman DePriest stated in his address before the N.A.A.C.P. at the Cleveland meeting, and wrote for any measure for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, in priority over provision for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment, like a physician saving that he will take no interest in saving the afflicted eye until or unless the nose has first been saved. We must venerate the Constitution as well as the constituent parts. The Negro would prove himself deficient in political understanding and sagacious statesmanship should him limit his declared to the parts which touch him most intimately.
Eighteenth Amendment
The Eighteenth Amendment is now uppermost in public attention. We do well to seize upon the opportunity to amend the Constitution also into focus. Well does the President warn against the danger of any citizen or class of citizens selecting the portions of the Constitution, the portions which they chose to ignore. Massachusetts chides Mississippi for the annulment of the Fifteenth Amendment only to be re-annulled by the state "out nullify the Eighteenth Amendment." Both are equally culable. I trust that every Negro into whose hands and under whose eyes a copy of the Priest's circulated Constitution may fall, will consider it in its integrity.
Stress All Parts
To counsel placing like stress and emphasis upon all parts of the Constitution everywhere and at all times, we must be aware of the impossibility of human perfection. At times and under circumstances, some parts will, of necessity, receive great stress. At one time, it was the fifteenth Amendment which engrossed public attention. At another, it was the rights of women embodied in the Nineteenth Amendment, and the issue of prohibition involved in the Eleventh Amendment. Whatever we may feel to be the right of women to have portions of the Constitution as bearing upon our particular and peculiar welfare, we should not allow our partizan zeal for any part to blind us to the comprehensive advantage of the whole.

Where, Oh, Where, Is Our Long-tailed Coat?
One hundred and three preachers attended a seven-day summer school at Fisk university, where a photograph shows NOT A SINGLE PREACHER IS WEARING A LONG-TAILED COAT.
Schooling makes even a preacher humble. He stuff that all he has to do is open his mouth and God will fill it when a preacher is him to confine his words. **VERB.**
"Just Call Me that Again"—
Pickens
Uncle Will Pickens tells this one
It's good.
"Just you call me that again! Just repeat it once more, one more time, if you dare! Just say it again, and, by God, I will show you!"
The scene is in Arkansas on a moving jim-crow car. The speaker is the uniformed brakeman, or trainman. The person he is dressed in—a black appearing black Baptist preacher from Marion, Indiana. The block man seemed not to know what reply to make to the violent expressions and menacing attitude of the preacher, who seemed afraid to say anything, even to attempt to apologize, less the "Hairstigger" temper of the raging white should cause him to strike. "Just say it again"—he said, and he did to part his lips, even for the purpose of assuring the mad one that he would not "say it again," lest his effort to apologize should be taken for an attempt to strike, and he would bring to assault upon himself. The white man was evidently armed, for after his first rage he had rushed to another car, perhaps to get his gun from the police, and back looking deadly, like a beast when it crouches, to kill.
"Say it again if you call," he rested of the journey the enraged trainman returned to that end of the jim-crow car, lowering at the edge of the road, and giving him to repeat it," until his anger gradually grew cooler so that he only scowled as he passed by. Any one coming into the middle of the road would not hear all from the beginning, would have felt certain that the Negro had called this trainman by some very vile man, a southern "fighting piece," a son of a what you-call-it or something as insulting. Actually, the preacher, a mild man who knew how near he was to his destination, had asked, in the friendliest tone, using the endering "epithet" most common from the lips of preachers. "Can you tell what is the correct time, brother."

"When I wuz born, my ma put a $10 bill in my hands, and I don't need your money." "Right." "And so on, by the into the night."
Padlock DePriest.
Because Mr. Oscar DePriest called the South a bunch of cowards, the Charlotte, N. C. news suggests DePriest's lips should be padlocked. It says, "If a 'speak-easy' and 'rump-joint' in a city are padlocked to stop lawlessness, why wouldn't lip-padlocking be the best preventive of unwise and dangerous and provocative talk?" We have never heard the News suggest padlocking any oafs as for an example. Blease or Heflin.
The Klan Quits.
The night shirt folks have moved their national headquarters from in front of the Catholic Welfare building in Washington back to Atlanta, the thrill of the pillow slip and sheet parade after dark has worn off. Kluxans have ceased to get a kick out of burning tires and have wrapped with coal oil wrapped around an iron pipe cross and properly lighted on a wet night. The 100 per centers' ballyhoo is staged. You can't capitalize even hate beyond the point where it stops paying.
Down in Dixie the Kluxers will slumber for another half century—mebbe forever.

death evidently loved most of the snobs and abducted them. We had a headquarters building of about 12 rooms, just for
official purposes. We have a telephone, great dining tent, a full "cellar" and all. We slept in the regular college dormitories. There were nearly 150 of us back. We ate, sang, danced, cut-up.

One day we spotted at the shore, taking full possession of a great country club, having the band of the "Governor's Foot Guards" to go with us and furnish the music. We ate half the lobsters out of the Long Island
Another day we lined up behind another brass band, and marched in classes behind their hands, to Walter Camp Field, where we saw Yale lice; the stuffing out of Harvard in a bass bail game—16 to 17, Jimmy Brennay, Bryan defeat—and Yale did not play its last inning.
Costumes
The costumes! We are now over forty, and the other, a golfin' linen knicker, blue stockings, blue jackets, white linen hats, Yale blue ties, and canes. But the youngest, 15, and the oldest, 15th, and 20th anniversary remixes; you should have seen their fantastic uniforms; one class was dressed like the other, but out three from their number whom they specially labeled "Pathos, Porthos, and Paramour." All the other muskets coming after them, looking like Doug Fair
One class represented a "French Foreign Legion," having two camels, labelled: "Our camels drink water every seven days—so do we! One class were "aviators," another orange class represented "Bakers," or "Highlanders" or "Mussolini's Wop Sailors" or "Colonial Soldiers," or whatnot. There was one class dressed as "Farmers," in checked homespun, carrying rakes, and she was only a farmer's daughter—all the horseman knew her-"Another: "Mr. Hoover, we need irrigation."
Married
There were many humorous but informing statistics: one class carried a placard: "Total married 299 - Result Boys 277 - Result Girls 166." The second carried a placard reading somewhat like this: "Survivors of the battle of 1926." There were other legends which would frighten the modesty of timid college seers and set them on fire by writing serious to the degenerateness of the younger generation.

We marched and yelled and caoped; gave the Old Yale College yell, based on certain lines of Greenwich University, the "Frog God" of theophanes, the angelist President Angell and ex-president Hadley in their boxes, and later visited their homes in the city and cheered again and had little speeches. We also licked the starch out of poor Harvard. The class in the aviators' uniforms had marched out to the field with a legend reading: "We will get poor Harvard UP IN THE
The Prizes
Then we returned to our headquarters for our last and biggest dinner together. After dinner, we talked, sang, cut-up, and played. "We" to the member who had travelled farthest to attend the reunion. The one from Liverpool, England, got it. Some had come from California and Oregon, but we simply decided by majority vote that Liverpool was more distant than the other places. That is the first time that geographical distances have been determined by popular opinion (just as Arkansas decided that "evolution ain't"), but everybody agreed, because it was a quick and easy way of doing it.
A few of the fellows still know how to drink good liquor (as good as can be) got now-a-days, and occasionally raise him. We had a few last night, at about 3:00 a.m., some fellows of the younger classes turned out and started running into the room at the top of their voices: "Fire! fire! fire!" just to see if they could not start a great night-shirt and bajama stampede. But when we old-timers heard in bed and went back to sleep on the other side, saying: "Let her burn up!" We knew what sort, her hair was a fine place to come back to, when you don't have any lessons to get or any "exams" to tackle.

Should Married
Woman Teach?
A young woman, evidently pressed by the lack of sufficient teaching jobs to go around, writes asking why do some married women after being successful in getting men able to take care of them and families, persist in "logging" (this is her term) jobs that may be helping out struggling young women? question, but at the same time it does give some food for thought.
In most large city systems there are scores of trained young teachers who are well acquainted many of whom will never get into the system. It would not be possible to keep the supply and demand even balanced. And yet, since the question of employment involves many deep-seated problems, it should be answered by the leadership of the group.
The question which faces this young woman is one which we should try to answer, not only with knowledge of the process of endowment, IT IS A PART OF THE DUTY OF NEGRO LEADERS TO HELP PROVIDE JOBS FOR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN. We must SELVES FOR LIFE WORK. There is no question but that some married women should teach. There are married women whose ability and adaptation are needed in the school room; there are married women whose ability and adaptation are needed in the school room; there are married women, need the salary for the necessities of life. As to these two classes of married women there is certainly no reason why they should be hired them from the school room.
But we agree that a close study of married teachers' in general, would bring anyone to the conclusion that many of them now in the house and demonstrating the necessity of adequate racial home life. There is no doubt but that many of them, with the connivance of weaking men, are helping to make good examples to red blooded young manhood who should be taught that it is a man's duty to provide for the home.
Not only are these types taking only one of the sensations out of the souls of young women who are preparing themselves for teaching, but they are making mashes out of men, and that will more than offer them the chance they can do in the school room.
There should, of course, be no law against married women teaching. But the consciences of some women in the systems throughout the country should so calm the school room as quickly as possible and go home, keep her raise children, and not las this young women charges). "hoo a job that means a few less luxuries, and that means lesservation and rights that worse for some young woman.
Getting Jobs for Students.
All of this brings us to what is becoming more and more a problem in American Negro life: getting jobs for young men and women in the city, in its plan and evident that we are approaching a crisis. It will be impossible for 12,000,000 American colored folks, arrested on nine counts, to receive the payment—and with a gross income of less than two per cent of that of the rest of the American citizenry—to main the same system of living that they have. A small proportion might squeeze out fortunes and keep up with white standards, but the masses can't keep up and they form the basis of the system. While vocational guidance is bringing us to a realization of the necessity of guidance in vocational selection, it has yet to develop a practical outlet for them from the schools. While vocational guidance is leaving the schools, already a start in this direction has been made in some public school systems, which are not only preparing the pupils for work in the city, but placing them where they leave.
Even in the colleges, as a dozen
centers reveal, they are beginning
to realize the same more definite

openness.
Face Large
Unemployment.
Right here in Baltimore, for instance, during the last five years some of the plants have been slowly letting out colored laborers. One plant which five years ago employed thirty-six per cent colored laborers, and one cent. A little activity, perhaps a conference with the management of these plants, might have prevented this. Every community should commence to lay the foundation for a new business duty. It should be to expand and provide additional employment not only in the labor field, but to take care of the larger number cared for more skilled work and places the business and professional world. Not only this, but such work as the National Urban League and National Business League should be given business opportunities, should be given emphasis during the next twenty-five years, and every section of the world studied for the purpose of seeking new outlets for the growing number of highly trained young and women.
To my mind, this is the most serious niece of work before the American Negro leader today is a problem which will not contain children, jobless, but the men and women who have jobs and whose range of vision and thought reaches beyond their own selfish interests to that of children or the young men and women who must marry their children.
Passing of the
Ku Klux Klan.
Like a beaten cur the National Konkilium of the Ku Klux Klan curled its tail and sneaked its headquarters out of the nation's Castle. It will go back to the place of its birth, Atlanta, Ga. Among the big blessings which came to the Negro during the last ten years, no one was longer than the Ku Klux Klan. The blessing came in the disguise that the Invisible Empire took in too much territory in its fight. It took in the Jew and Catholic, and has been blessed. There was also the blessing that its leaders inspired lawlessness, letting loose the most barbarous instincts of its members by probably being more oppressive of what civilization we have against it. Like a pack of wolves, the Klan has been beaten back, and the net reaction has been good for tolerance of all

105 Unions Admit Negro Workers, Says President Green
The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly.
A. F. OF L. HEAD URGES RACE TO JOIN UNIONS
22 Local Colored Unions Chartered, Many More Outside, He Declares.
STATEMENT TO PRESS
Race Workers.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The American Federation of Labor stands ready to give to the Negro workers the protection of an organized movement and the Negro workers owe it to themselves and organized labor to join in the movement for the advancement of common interests.
That is the declaration of William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement to the Negro press last Wednesday. It was in answer to the question of the attitude of the American Federation of Labor toward Negro workers. The question was asked him because of his pledge of full support to the efforts to organize Pullman car porters and maids, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Dogs, because an affiliated organization of the American Federation of Labor.
Full Text
The full text of the statement of Mr. Green is as follows:
"There are within the United States wage earners of all races. The ideals for which our republic stands require that all these wage earners shall be active in development and progress. Keenly conscious of progress-evident facts, the American Federation of Labor in convention assembled in 1890 declared that
"A.P. of L. looks with disfavor upon trade unions having provisions in their constitutions excluding from membership persons on accrued benefits and requests they be expunged."
In 1893
"Again in 1893 the convention proclaimed:
"Resolved, that we here and now reaffirm as one of the cardinal principles of the abolition that the opposing people must unite and organize, irrespective of color, sex, nationality and politics."
"The standards established, by the foremost ranks of workers cannot progress further than the backward rank of the backward ranks. The backward ranks have been recent immigrants and those racial groups within our country whose standards are ours. American Negroes have been in this class.
Wage Earners
"The Negro wage earners of the United States have made great strides under tremendous challenges that Negroes themselves had no control. Negroes were living in the land of a race with which they were not equipped to compete. Yet they have proven their ability to make a contribution to the world's work and to achieve positions of responsibility and serv-
Raise Standards
As Negro workers have increasingly found their way into the industrial field, they have come more or less directly into competition with white workers. That competition works against the best interests of both groups. It vanishes only when the Negro workers raise their standards of life and work. This can be done only through organization, directly or through
"The Pioneers of the organized labor movement in the United States when they drafted into the constitution of the American Federation of Labor the fol-
Separate Charters
"Separate charters may be issued to Central Labor Unions, Local Unions, or Federal Labor Unions, copies of exclusively co-owned members, where in the judgment of the Executive Council, it appears advisable and to the best interests of the Trade Union Movement to do so. In the public domain given to wage carriers, who join local unions holding charters of affiliation from the American Federation of Labor they are required to declare 'never discriminate against a fellow work account of creed, color or nationality.'
105 Unions
"There are 105 national and international unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor representing the principal trades and callings in the industrial field. At least 100 of these unions admitted workers to membership. Where this is not the American Federation of Labor is certificates of affiliation direct
22 Colored Unions
Many Negro workers have assumed the responsibility of industrial workers and have been involved in the trades. However, as the national and international unions are organized upon the basis of competency of the worker to meet the mental and physical obligations and not the nationality of the applicant, it would be difficult to ascertain the exact number of companies in the national and international union: of their trades and callings. There are now changed directives for the labor organization of Labor twenty-two local unions of colored workers and five cemetary labor unions whose component unions have a membership entitlement.
Impersonal
The forces of industry operate impersonally—irrespective of race, reason or prejudice of any nature. The forces of industry are to be controlled and directed to conserve the best interests of those employed in production, there must be impersonation and joint counsel in the operation of any company but the group of a group.

determined on a functional basis.
Education
"It is my most earnest hope that Negro wage earners will not allow themselves to be lured from principal positions and to be substantial and practical progress. With them as well as with all mankind their hope for progress lies in education. They should guard the opportunities for education and self-defense that their children avail themselves of opportunities. They should guard their educational agencies against propaganda of special interest and against the heart of all real freedom; for if the mind is in bondage then are we hopelessly lost. Many Outside "The American Federation of Labor stands ready to give to the Negro the opportunity to an organized movement. Many have already joined, but many more are still on the outside. Our organization has demonstrated its practical value. The struggle is not over; we owe it to themselves and to us to join in the movement for the advancement of common interests."

Parisian Dance Outdoes
Shimmy and Mess Around
Sy RWERS Brees: pe
PARIS.—Some .of the Porgyites
ame over for a last week-end
abroad. Edna Thomas came along
jwith me, Having friends here who
know the city’s most secret corners,
we commenced to see Paris “with
tie lid lifted.” ‘They took us at a
rapid pace during our three-days'
stay.
en ae “Beguine” +
; @ first evening we went to the
Bal Colonial on Rue Blomet. This is
@ Martiniquian dance hall, Here
they do the most unusual dance any-
‘one will ever see. It is known as
the “beguine.” The .nly one way
T can describe it is by saying that it
is a combination of the shimmy and
messin" around, with the femaie
partner dancing with the greatest
movement. However, I must say it
is done with moré grace. than
either of the above-mentioned
dances.
| Like Harlem with its dance halls
and cabarets, the Negroes here can't
have their own dance floor for the
palefaces. Some of them are French
friends or lovers of the Martini-
quians who join in the fun, while the
others are spectators, mostly Ameri-
cars. Here one will see French
women dancing with the darkest
men they can locate. The men do
the opposite.
"Nora Holt Ray
Last Saturday evening we took
Caska Bond there. He also discov-
gred among many others Carl Van
Vechten, Fania Marinoff, Nora Holt
Ray, Jimmy Leopold and Zaidee
Jackson, who dashed in for a few
‘moments on her way to charm the
‘patrons of a Montmartre club, ~
Tuesday afternoon, June llth, we
went up to Florence Richardson's
apartment, She is still as charming
as ever. This was a special occasion,
the birthday of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Cork. It was a lovely party. | We
hardly knew we were in Gay Paree
with the gang there. Among them
were Edna Thomas, Dr. Gertrude
Curtis, Contee Cullen, Zaidee Jack-
son, ‘Adelaide Hall,’ Bert Hicks
‘Cooper and Chez Florence and Sam-
‘my Richardson. Mrs. Cork is a pe-
tite English lady. When asked if
she wanted to visit New York, she
replied, “Only to see the skyscrapers
and Roxy's theatre.”
“Blackbirds” Here
| Montmartre was dark before the
arrival of the “Blackbirds.” But
now, oh my! What a gay time they
fare ‘having, too. Dr, Gertrude Cur-
tis knows her Paris backwards, this
being her fifth time here.
‘Lovely Adelaide Hall 1s knocking
‘em over with her voice, charming
manner and chic clothes. Cora Gary
Mlidge finds Paris a grand place to
be in, while Ruth Johnson keeps
them on a waiting line,
| One can see strolling — through
Pigalle most any night after the
show Eddie Rector, being very swank:
Peg Leg Bates, jolly as ever: George
‘McClean, waiting for someone; and
Ihandsome Louis Coles, looking hand-
lsomer. Then go over to the Costa
‘Bar, where they “fall in” to drink,
feat food and peanuts and play cards.
Tt's a great fe if you don't weaken
under fe strain. But who's worried
about that?
‘There are more poople of our
[group arriving here than it is passi-
ble for me to keep tab on. Nora
Holt Ray came up from the South
of France to join Carl Van Vechten
fand his gay party: Bessie Miller is
here with her lovely daughter, Oli-
‘vette; Caska Bond has come’ over
from London. 1 heard that Dr.
Godfrey Nurse is in town. As I write
this, there are many others docking,
sajling the waters, or making last

NEW YORK, — Bill (Bojangles)
Robinson, formerly the, big hit. o
‘Lew Leslie's. “Blackbirds” | company
and now high-salaried actor on the
Radio-Keith-Orpheum vaudeville ctr-
fcult, has twice cabled Leslie warning
fhim’ against the use of his stalr tap
dance in the Paris edition of “Black-
birds.”
Refused Permission
“Bojangles” declined to give Lesite
permission to use the dance abroad,
and when white friends cabled the
actor that Leslie had disregarded
hls promise and had used Eddie Rec-
tor in the act, he sent the producer
two cables in’ which he Js sald to
have “cussed him out.”
Questioned about the cables, “Bo-
jangles” admitted sending them and
polnted out that Parisians, not know-
ing him by sight, would ‘accept any
actor as the real Bill Robinson, Re-
ports from Paris say thet Recior Is
anything but @ success in the revue
which is now playing at the Moulin
Rouge.
“Bojangles” Tells World
In a full-page advertisement, car-
ried in the June 26 issue of Variety.
the theatrical trade journal, “Bojan-

“Alter Lew Leslie and ‘Blackbirds’
fwere 3,000 miles away, in Parls, my

ed into the performance, after I

sion to use It abroad.
“I have never appeared in Parls..
“I don't want to say that Lew Les~
Me must have belleved the imita-
tion of myself and my dance were
necessary to the success of the Paris
showing of ‘Blackbirds,’ but sou de-
cide.
“Leslie told me when T refused
him permission, before he and the
company left New York for Paris,
that he would not permit an imita-
tion of me abroad in ‘Blackbirds.’
“But of what value can my Stair
Tap Dance be in ‘Blackbirds’ or any

THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION
The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly
Marvelous LoveStory of a Black Queen
great Judean monarch, made a long journey to see him, and how each fell deeply in love with the other at first sight.
Here is the story as it is told in the Kebar Nagast. The Kebar Nagast, or the Glory of Kings, is the chronicle of the reign of centuries of Ethiopian Kings prior to the Queen of Sheba. It dates back to the dimist antiquity, and is written in the original Ethiopian, which is the mother of our alphabet.
During the reign of Queen Victoria, an English expedition under Lord Napier invaded Abyssinia, defeated the king, Theodore, an took the Kebar Nagast to England, where it was placed in the British Museum.
In 1872 while a British admiral was visiting the Emperor Menelik II, the admiral, in part asked Menelik whether he would like him to take any message to Queen Victoria. On this the Empress Taitu, consort of Menelik, said:
"Yes, say to her that we soldiers have taken from us a Book that we hold most dear—a Book necessary to the orderly governing of our kingdom—the Book of the Queen of Sheba, of Solomon, and their son, the Emperor Menelik I, Our Book! I pray to God that she returns it."
The message was delivered, and the Kebar Nagast in due time, was returned to its old place in the Ethiopian archives. On it is now the following inscription:
"Returned by the British Museum, Dec. 14, 1872."
"Burnt Men"
It might also be noted that the word "Sheba" is the ancient name of Abyssinia. The Shebians, or Sebans, did not call themselves Ethiopians.

"Burnt Men"
It might also be noted that "Sheba" is the ancient name sinia. The Shebians, or Sebans call themselves Ethiopians. That word was coined by the Greeks and meant the "Land of the Blacks, or Burnt Men." The Sebans were descendants of Seba, son of Cush, and grandson of Ham. Seba founded the Seban Empire some 4,000 years before the Queen of Sheba. Another grandson of Ham, Nimrod, "the mighty hunter before the Lord," founded the great Assyrian Empire (Gen. 10, 6:10).
The descendants of Cush who went into Africa became blackened by the sun, while those who remained in Asia retained their yellow complexions. Some two thousand years later the Sebans, or Ethiopians, extended their power into Asia, conquering the land of the Asiatic Cushites. It is not known just how far their empire extended, but this fact is certain: the Ethiopians or Abyssinians ruled in Arabia until 570 A. D., when they were driven out by Mahomet.
The Ethiopians enjoyed tremendous prestige. More than once they were masters of Egypt, and they made a treaty with the Roman Em-
The Paris H.
By J. A.
International Correspondent
In last week's column I promised to tell of a book dealing with gigolies. The book to which I referred is written by Maryse Choisy, a well-known writer who spent a month studying the life of the underworld. Miss Choisy gives a career description of a girl rendezvous to which she was introduced by an American woman whom she calls Mrs. Knox. In the chapter entitled, "House of Men for Women," she writes: "Mrs. Koev is an American woman high in color and those-heels. She is the wife of a Congressman, and has the air of being very corrox. Her husband is an ardent supporter of prohibition, while she drinks all the curtains she while."
Having won the confidence of Mrs. Knox, Miss Cholisy says that the former told her about the house, after she had taken an oath that she would be "discreet and tell no one."

Harry Cholisy suggests that for less than she was getting nothing less than a English lord or a French dame. Mrs. Knox replies very seriously: "Oh, I do not think you'll find any of those there."
Both start for the house. "We stop before a clean couse house, hidden by a clean, geometrical, well-kitted garden. It is the home of a doxyer with a collection and a gallery of ancestors. It could be a retreat of a poet or of a middle-class couple with a large family. Inside is smells the great luxury. One smells the great soap, the American atmosphere.

After chatting for some time about art, the elections, the weather, income tax and the like, Mrs. Knox whispers in the ear of her friend, bidding her off the gigs; she replies very courteously; after you, my dear."
"No after you," insists Mrs. Knox.

At the time that the story opens, Solomon, son of David, was filling the East with the glory of his He was building the Temple of God, his messengers to all lands, and the merchants to come Jerusalem with their caravans in order that he might buy of them. He was particularly anxious to get in touch with a famed Ethiopian merchant named Tamin, and sent for him. Solomon was taken to the woods, the marble and the red gold of Ethiopia. In doing time Tamin arrived and from the first, was so fascinated by Solomon that after disposing of his wares, he lingered on at Jerusalem. But at last he had to return in order to give his queen the money he had for her. On his departure Solomon opened his treasure room with Tamin rich presents for the Queen of Sheba.
Once more in Ethiopia, Tamarin was received in the audience chamber of the Queen, and with all her courtlers assembled he told the wonders and splendor of the desert.

Accordingly she assembled one of the greatest caravans of all time. In it were 787 asses, mules and camels loaded with some of the choicest treasures of her empire, of the most beautiful stones, amber, rare perfumes and myrrh.
Solomon, hearing of her visit, had prepared a special apartment for her reception. It was of crystal from the floor to the ceiling. Under the ceiling a stream of water flowed, the certain story of Makeda and this was a ruse to discover if it was true. He had heard that one of her legs resembled that of a jackass and was covered with hair. Finally Makeda with all her hair conducted a dance. Thinking she was stepped into water, she lifted her dress, but King Solomon's attention was so held by the beauty of her face and the magnificence of her apparel that he looked at her legs. She looked at her legs on her leg in her youth and limped little, which had given rise to the tale.
Makeda had come prepared to admire but what she saw was so vastly greater that she was overwhelmed. The marvelous Temple, not then completed, the gardens of the palace, the arsenals. Never had she seen anything like it. "Your Majesty," she said, "the half has not been told." Solomon on his side, too, was not the less impressed. The size of the temple. The value of the present Makeda had brought him. "She gave the king 120 talents of gold, and of spices very great store and precious stones; there came no more such abundances of spices as these which Shema gave to King Solomon." - I-Kings, 10:10.

A
But in sudden rage at the water of fear that seemed to be rising silently in my own veins as that sound kept on in the dreadful house, I swore viciously at the old man and tore his clinging hands from my arms.
EXPOSITIONS
Era Salwen, owner and eccentric tenant of Selmy House, is found murdered in the OCTAGONAL ROOM, a mysterious room built on to the original home which was intended for the occupancy of his young bride who was lost in the Voodoo-infected jungles of New Orleans, by harbble sounds of GREEPING as if a great serpent were crawling beneath the Haitian American wife, who, with his old wife, Aime, are the sole occupants of the house. Aime was on the ground. After having been clued by several people, the body is found to have vanished. Aime, the sole occupant of the house, no trace of it is found. The next night, Aime, who has prevailed, goes to solve the mystery by staying in the room of mystery, is also murdered and abducted. Aime Hardure, a woman detective, has gotten permission to try the perilous expedition of Tom Frederick, who has been summoned to the case by his friend and acquaintance, who gives predeference for this first night to Miss Hardure, a domineering and unpleasant person, who has her ability to solve the problem.
Now go on with the story.
INSTALLMENT IV.
When that fateful door of destiny closed with a sinister, thud, on Alene Hardmore, a murderer, and on Alene Hardmore, a murderer, there was something of relief in being rid of the big dominating, black, personality of her. It was a relief that made me joyful for her, for the rest of the rest, that she was shutting herself in with a very real peril. A bit heightened probably by my own skepticism as to the decisions that had been in the position of observers, or rather hearsens. I was loath to accept even Alex's explanations of just what had occurred to her, and the weird and eerie manifestations of what they all spoke of with bated breath as The Greeping Thing.

There were no words strong enough to a woman like Alene Hardme, detective extraordinary, and woman hard-bolled. "I am inclined that the Theman will find a match in the lady in question." I soothed them, facetiously, although something in the mystery and the slowly getting into my blood. I did not feel as unconcerned as I would have them think. The entrance to the wide corridor we stopped and involuntarily our eyes turned with one accord to the tall, black space of the closed doorway leading back to us like a secluded entrance to a tomb.

All the pythian gods and their guys you are telling me about it. And if it is, it's got to have a den somewhere. Possibly in the garden, and then into thin air. The darned Thing's too birt for that. And if it eats its prey, it's got to lie somewhere. Some dig it. Come on, I'm going.
With a bravado I did not feel, I turned and went to the short corridor with the tiny window high up — its only opening, rated the octagonal room from the rest of the house, lying toward the front.

I turned my attention to the straight wall of the room from which, seeped, I saw them, between them, they rayed away in oblique lines from the central angle of their jointed arm, other walls, it strength, and solid.
The infinitesimal window and the doorway leading to the main central corridor of the upper story of Selwyn House were the first place I had been right, there was no explanation here. I was just a big chagrined. I had been pretty sure that I would find some explanations for it, maybe a mode entrance andgress from without — in that otherwise perfectly unexplained passage. When I came again to the wide and looked at something a bit worried in my glance. He said nothing, but pursed his lips in the knowing way he had. "Well, so you are beginning to doubt your omnipotence," the expression I shook myself. I didn't intend to let the first setback get my goat. "Well," I said, "one swallow doesn't make a drying and one theorization." "There aren't any theories about Ena's nurder and Meme's." The words were coldly and calmly conducive. Alice spoke at my el

I simply had to get away from the tense atmosphere of horror in the hall, but I had to leave from the hall rack, where I had left it. I clapped it on my head and went out into the garden, the weed-grown paths that had once been beautifully-laid-out brick walks. I looked up at the shadowy walls of the garden, where the home was intended for the home of happiness for young Extra Selwyn and his bride, Mary, "So," I mused, "does it bring to naught the real life of me?"
The rising wind was gathering black clouds together like some gloom fist closing, and the sharp shadows to fling trees swept uneasily in the silence, across and blight its light. The great Suddenly, as the plumy orange swag flew across, the saw glow where, a moment previously there had been blackness. I stopped, abruptly. My breath came in short, sharp gusts.

"For," reiterated my thought, "why did you not observe the light when you first stepped in?" "You're getting as nervous as a grandmother, Tom." I spoke aloud to myself, trying to pound reason and some sort of calming bain into my mind and my soul. "I have a house, has simply lighted a candle to investigate something." But in spite of my words, I shook myself into action and turning on my steel strokes to open the house. "Glastly Sound." As the front door closed behind me, I heard it. I thought at first it was the sudden jar of the closing candle, but I didn't utter this mistake. There was no sound in the world so unmistakable as the one that tell upon my ears after the first subconscious effort to disguise it as something less
"Sct-r-u-u-s-h", Sct-r-u-u-s-h", it was—even at the h处 on the floor of the stairs—as if some huge body, repellant, and monstrous, pervaded the stairs and encircled it in slimy folds of death. Horror flooded my veins and froze me for a brief instant into inaction. Then, with a super-human effort of the breathing space that held me motionless and sped up the long stairs, two steps at a time. At the top, I saw Alee and old Diaron standing as I had stood for the breathing space of Wiley, of fear of old Diaron seemed to be released for the moment by the very knowledge of my presence. He flung himself into my arms, shrieking and chattering in very excess of terror, and soon again, he shrieked. Alee, too, looked at me as if the renewal of the horror had sapped his courage—a courage that I had proven in many a bout with danger. The sight of eyes widening eyes under my undoing. But in sudden seem to be rising relentlessly in my own veins as that sound kept on in the dreadful house, more uuuciously at the old, and more his eyes from my arms.
"Come on, you damned covards." I shrilled, "there's a woman in there alone with that hellish creature. Repent of that, out of there and—" I was at the tall narrow door wrenching and tearing at the knob. Alee, pale-faced but with the grimly fatalistic acumen, was a part of him, was my claw. The knob slid easily in my fingers but there was no contact with the mechanism of the lock. I hurled myself against with horror and made of us, outside there in the shadows, the butts of its humor. I twisted and turned. I hurled myself against with horror and made myself against a stone bulwark. There was no tremor, no sign of any giving of that grim barrier. The sweat was pouring from my face, hurled by twisted face to Alee. There was only the blank-

More so, in fact. With a sudden freemised access of effort, I seized the knob again. This time it did not budge. The force that hit me suddenly had suddenly to have reached the point of deadly earnest. It was as if it would taunt me with my weakness and the futility of any power I might exert against it. I closed the door, muffled as though by great distance. I heard the sounds of struggle. There was a thrashing as of great bodies in conflict. Frightful beathing. shifed to the ground. gurgling made the night bideous with horror. I turned again to Alec. "Is there an ax, a hatchet, anything with which we can batter damn easily," he said. His voice was hoarse with helpless rage at my inaction.
"I don't know." he said. "Is there?" he shot the question at old Diaron. The words were a second registering on the fear-crusted skin. But before he could reply, the terrible creeping sound began again.

"How happy I am when I interrogate you. How happy you happen to answer me! My heart is moving pleasurable; my soul is moving pleasurable; my lips wish to utter thoughts; my lips wish to utter humble; my whole being feels delight.

Pointing to him, Solomon said: "Do you see any difference between this humble wowler and Am I the same wowler like him? Am I not made of dust, the same as he and tomorrow shall I not be a wowler even as he? "Are we not both the same wowler and Am I giving my glory to this man and putting me in his place?

Solomon Is Tempried
But Solomon in all his wisdom was but 'human. The daily proximity of the beautifull to the king. But Makeda stood firm. She told the king that according to Ethiopian law a queen could rule only on behalf of the king. she lacked the 'c of the day of her departure. Solomon was resolute in his pursuits while the Queen pair resorted to a ruse. He caused a splendid feast to be spread in his apartments for himself and Makeda on condition, that the king would
Continued From Page Eleven had almost exhausted my physical morale. I was close to going to the gym, but I had to outrepetition of the uncanny creeping. I grabbed desperately after my waning courage. "Get me an ax," I called, and there were men in the room, some in the command. Old Diaron tried to be awakening from his stupefying fear by the spirit of the words. He disappeared down the stairs. He added to my shoulder. Alcad added to the strength. Again we felt the slipping of the fultile knob. Then, just as Diaron appeared again in the doorway—the suddenly and with the mackery of flendifish intelligence, seemed to catch hold. With a saddness that gave us no time for preparation, we were prepared for the dense darkness of the octagonal door. A quick memory of Alec's description of the happening when they found the body of old Meme, made me realize that I had kept ready all through my efforts open the door, more securely in my hand. I pressed the switch. I do not know what I had expected when it occurred that it was, the actuality was worse.
Lying sprawled half in, half out, of the great four poster bed, was the inert body of the huge, muscular, black woman-detective. Her head was turned to a pool of blood. At first I thought it had been beaten in with a bludgeon. But I cautiously drew near it, I saw that the whole top of the scalp had been

Solomon replied: "I give my word, on condition that you steal none of my treasure."
Makeda thought this a good jest. Why should she, the realist, woman on earth want to steal any of Solomon's treasure. Laughingly she gave her word to abide by the bar-

Some of them began to reproach Makeda about the darkness of her skin and the darkness of her favorite queen to the discontentment of the others.
A Son Appears
Six months later the Queen of Sheba returned to her people. A child was to be born and Solomon had exacted a promise from her that if he visited him, he gave her a ring to give this son in order that he might be recognized. In time a son was born, later Menah. But the Queen was ioath to let the boy go. At last he approached manhood and as he had always been asking about his father and was wishing to go to see him, Makeda finally answered. When Solomon saw the young man his heart went out to him. What a striking resemblance did he bear to his mother, Makeda, mono-re-christened him David, and planned to make him his successor. But the young man declined the honor. He said that he had sworn to protect his mother, that he would return. Still Solomon strove hard to keep him.
A Threat To Rebel
Then an incident occurred that made Solomon consent to part with the young man. Rehobam, another son, had been named as heir to the throne before the coming of Menelik and Rehobam's supporters were before sending Menelik away. Solomon, in a brilliant ceremony, crowned him King of Ethiopia. To give added prestige to Menelik's court he sent a thousand of the elders of Ethiopia with him, 12,000 in all with 12 judeges. Among the number was Ariariah son of Zadoc, the High Priest.
6.000 Virgins
Back in Abysinia Menikil I established the religion of Israel. Six thousand black virgins were chosen the Daughters of Zion, according to the In. In the Church at Axum, Abysinia is still venerated a copy, one of those given by Solomon as well as the crown of gold and precious stones that Solomon is said to have placed on the body of the vowel of well as well the imperial ornaments, all presents from Solomon to the Queen are exhibited at each marriage of the vowel of well in 1020 B. C. and was the only daughter of King Quaonasya and Queen Ismanie. She came to the thrones at the age of 35 and was consecrated David, and died at the age of 65. She was succeeded by her son. When she visited Solomon she was 35, and she was at Arka in the Tiere and Axum were her principal residences. A few years ago her tomb as well as the ruins of a great temple and 22 obelisks her period, were excavated Axum.
Makeda. Great Ruler
Makeda possessed all the qualities of a great king. Two holy books, the Bible and the Koran have mentioned her. Her fame extended even into the Middle East, where Greeks spoke of her as "The Black Minerva," and "The Ethiopian Diana."
In Arabian writings the Queen of Sheba is called Balkh. "This has led her to be called the Queen of two queens of Sheba, both consorts of Solomon, one of which came from Arabia. But when it is recalled that at time, Makeda was herself ruling in Arabia, it being a part of her," she wrote. "that Makeda and Balkh are one, Balkh may have been one of her names.
In our new article we will tell of Makeda II, direct descendant of the Queen of Sheba over a period of 2621 years.
removed—cleanly as an Indian does. The woman had been scaled and she was dead. There was no doubt that at the first glance, there should be no disappearance of this body, though, that at least I would prevent, that at least I would deliberately, but not without inward tremors, I took my cigarette lighter from my pocket and carefully and methodically proceeded to light every one of the huge canicles that room of death. Standing in front of the woman's wonder, Dilaron and Alec looked on. When I was through I spoke to them. "Owl," I said, holding my voice calm by the strongest effort I have ever used before or since, "go down and summon the sheriff, the coroner, the marshal, and the undertaker." Turned to Alec. "And you, old man, get hold of yourself. Take your flashlight and stand guard there at the door. I am going to stay near the folks come. We'll leave the door."
Alec gave a sharp sound bordering on dissent. Then through the silence, dropping around us, came an unearthly chuckling sound. It seemed to drop and spread everywhere, the coming from everywhere and nowhere. My blood froze in my veins.

SAVED FROM MYSELF
Just for One Night Lula Wanted to Live一to be Free. All Her Life She Had Been Misunderstood, Mistreated, a Victim of Circumstance. With Cool Deliberation She Decided to Reap the Benefits of Her Reputation. Here Is the Warm, Frank Confession of a Girl Who was Driven From Respectability by an
I was born in Slabtown. There were two other children, boys, younger than I. We lived with our mother in a sort of lopsided, two-roor. shed. I never knew my father. I attended the nearest public school in a fairly spasmodic manner for six years. Then, when I was twelve my mother died. The city buried her in the potter's field. The two boys were sent to an orphanage. All this happened twelve years ago. Through the influence of the truant officer who had been largely responsible for my six years of inadequate schooling, I was introduced into the home of old Mrs. Stone. Old Mrs. Stone was kind to me in her life at her home was best kept.
Nell Parks, a notorious older "frend" of mine, was a creature whose showy mulatto beauty, under Slabton conditions was an职业 professional. I know that Nell Parks had a genuine liking for me. She had always had it. When I was a small, hungry, dirty, little outcast, she used to share her crusts with me and try to teach her how to swim. My little claws as we used to race to school. The memory of these things were hidden deep in my heart and kept me always from snubbing her. Yet, I didn't get to learn with him. "Hello, kid," run her hand through my arm and walk down the street with me.
Misunderstanding
It was such a public association as this that led to the general frowning of me and their daughters. I understood and didn't blame them, but, oh, how I suffered. It seemed to me that they ought to see that I was not a child and do think they knew but what could any of us do? Smalltown customs are hard to break and I was born in Nell's class. I knew—and deter—that I should not show up above the slime of my beginnings. So though I flinched from her, I was kind to Nell in the only way I could. My kindness to Nell bore fruit she secured my first job down at the lamp factory when old lady Stone died and left me no hope of emigration. My engaged a cheap room at a hotel, Nell looked troubled.
"What's the matter Nell?" I said, "Is there anything I can do for you?" "It isn't me Kid, it's you I think-baby. These kids like me. How'd you for kids like me! How'd you like to go to a sure enough home and live?" She looked at me and I looked at her wonderingly.
"Yes," she said, and there was relief in her tones. "I can see by your

pouring blood
One girl, alone, of all the workers at the factory, treated me with intimacy. Arlie met me with crinkly reddish hair, whose filmsy dresses were always gaudily colored and trimmed. The Mack home was in the next block from the Lees. Consequently her hair was in the same style. One evening on our way Home Arlie slyly asked questions about the sordid side of life that was supposed to exist among the Irish, the Irishmen, the very uncomfortable question. I became uncomfortable. I had welcomed her friendship so eagerly as the first step upward from slime, but I was not ready to do this for her entertainment. For although I had lived surrounded by filth until I was twelve years old, it had never touched my innocent childhood. For herself making such poor headway in this manner she boldly took me into her confidence. She related some of the most repulsive accords with the understanding that I would be equally frank with her.
Of my own experiences I had nothing to match the things she told me of herself but I told many stories of others with a little embellishment here and there. My friend Nell Parks was a strong point in my favor. This attitude of Arlje told me how impossible it was in my birthplace to ever win my name free of stain in the estimation of my townmen. I was young and starved for pleasure. Youth dreams of love. I was ripe for the plan that Arlje laid before me.
Temptation
"It's all in the way you go about it, Lula." Arlie said to me. "Yees I go after the swells, 'n they're as keen as I am to keep quiet a quarter of their lives. I worry a lot about these swells some o' these days anyhow, an' y' ruin your chances if you let things out on you, see? If Arlie Mack could do things that she was doing and would be so particular? I, who had no respectability to lose must as well snatch at any fleeting pleasure. life might offer me
Arile's favorite method of enjoying her secret affairs was to leave home at six o'clock in the movies. Then instead of going there, she would wait in the shadows until Clyde Ross, of the Lamp Shade factory owner, and she would climb the wealthiest banker in town, met her with a high-powered roadster. Then she would climb into the bright scarlet Lincoln or the screaming yellow Packard as the case might be. She would burst of speed to forbidden places. She was very successful and cunning in her excuses. With a confederate she reasoned her opportunity to be widely extended. So she souls me out.
"We will let on to the folks that we are doing extra work at the factory, Lula. She confided to me, 'We've been saving money saved enough money for a little trip to the city when the work slacks down week after next. It'll be a clich. Glyde said if I could get you to go on a cost and cost and give us enough to make it worth our while besides. Billy likes your looks. He said so. He always was sweet on you but he thinks you are a wet blanket. I told him that I didn't know that I just didn't know the ropes then." As Arle talked I felt ashamed. I understood Billy Summers perfectly. Oh, yes. I knew well his intentions.
My Venture
We did not go to the city with the boys. That would have been a dead give away. We were in the interurban. After boarding the car I sat beside a clean limbed. frank-faced brown skinned laid a few years older than me and smiled to my blew into my eye. I gave a little gasping cry of pain. Instantly the young man beside me turned all sympathetic helpfulness and apology for keeping the open. With the gentleman the removed the hit of dust from my eye.
"Gee," he said when I smilingly thanked him. "I'm glad I got it out. I gave a cinder in my eye on my shoulder. The clean look of strength about. John Zogan the minute I saw him.
"Do you work at the foundry?" I asked, at a loss for something to do. I gave the clean look of strength about. John Zogan the minute I saw him.
"Yeah. I been working out there a year now an I'm going in to the city to celebrate the raise they gave yesterday. John Zogan the city? he asked rather bashfully I thought.
"?I—I laughed happily—"do I look like a city girl? I thought to be
admiringly. I blushed, but a happy little hirlr ran up and down my spine.
"Well, I don't live in the city but I'm going to be there for a week" I paused. Suddenly the thought struck me of how I intend to spend that week and the time I spent in a pouring flood of shame. But John Rogan only looked at me with that worshipful glow of admiration in his honest eyes. I turned my face away and looked out of the window.
"Say," his voice was eager, "when you come back to town not I come in and see you sometime? Do you live in or out?" I "live out at the Foundry," he said simply, "board with the Smiths."
said simply, "board with the Smiths." The train pulled into the city terminal. I was sorry to see the broadshouldered boy I had just met disappear. He looked back as Arlie and I stepped into the taxi that he had sent for us. I felt my hands go cold and my heart felt as heavy as lead as Arlie chattered away about the good times in store for us and how easily we had fooled the folks at home. She was still chattering when we reached the fourth-rate hotel where reservations had been made for us. We had supplied the youths had supplied us with ample funds till they should arrive.
We did not know the city so we started out hapazharyd to see what we could. As we stood waiting for the bus, I noticed the corner, near the hotel, I noticed a big copper-colored policeman in uniform swinging across the street ahead of us. A shrill childish city almost directly in front of me caused him to look up. He were turned about by a spring. I did not have time to sense the danger till it was over. The child darted past us from the curb directly in the path of a high powered, electric breath I darted after her, just the two steps forward that gave me a firm grip on Maggie Wallace's flying gingham dress. Jim Wallace had us both in his arms almost before the bus stopped. A sudden effort had thrown me. This was how I met the Wallace family.
It was a tear-cyed mother. Maggie, that darned the stocking torn by the sudden effort put forth to save Arlie. She impatient but the peace and calm of that home gave me a restful feeling of cleanliness.
Somehow I hated to leave that calm little home of respectability and intimacy. I knew awaited me. But at last Arlie's impatience won. We left.
**The Arrival**
It was about ten o'clock that night at Clyde and Billy got to the hotel.
About an hour later with tongues loosed and passion unleashed by liquor I began to see them in a different light from the light-hearted and intimate world we were going to give us a good time.
The new light in which I saw them frightened me. I began to regret that I had shared this venture with Arlie.
Before my mind, there fitted pictures of girls who began similarly and had ended in social disgrace.
Knew the cross roads at which I stood, and somewhere deep down in my soul was a little unuttered prayer.
Billy's circling arms closed around me and his passionate lips sought mine. I felt the youth within me melting to the touch of another deliberately delivered, even desperately. I set my feet upon the gay path that leads down to life's bottom-most pits. Clyde and Arile had already disappeared, other than the some of another kisses and giggles. At length, drowsy with love and desire, we entered the other room and shut the world out. But scarcely had we entered when suddenly we heard a great voice inside in the corridor. The place was raided. "Come on out there and make it snappy" the harsh voice of the big blue clad police manfremonted us. Arile and I spent the night at a police station, faceless names. The boys offered cash bonds for us but with sheering and embarrassing jokes the officers told us we would have to face the music in morning court. Each of them fined. The boys拼搏 off the amount of the fines and we were at liberty again.
We felt more than ever at their disposal now that they had spent so much money on us. I was look-ing for a new dress, and I formed figure stopped beside me. I turned and looked up into the face of Jim Wallace. Beside him was—Nell Parks.
Shame
It was she who spoke first. "Yeah, these two men, she said, and her mark was addressed to the big copper-colored carp. Nell cut in. "Say, Arlie Mack," she said, and her voice, was sharp and hard, "you may be better in Slabbowness home and shin't any of the things I know on you back

To think of Neil Parks trying to help keep me pure. And I had been proud to go with Arlie and ashamed to go with Neil. Neil. What a puzzle life is anyway!
"Thank you, Nell." I said, and that was all; my heart was too full for me. I was so scared that clipped as though she checked something and held it in her heart.
Respectability Triumphs
With a new hope dawning in my heart, I followed Jim Wallace.
"Here she is, Maggie." The words and look of infinite tenderness and joy of innocence will wake Wallace when we entered the quiet little flat (the three older children were at school and the baby asleep) told me that she knew the story and that at last I had found a real friend. Or at last I found a real fitness in my awakened soul for the warmth of the folding arms when she pressed me to her breast without a word. You can imagine the joy in my heart when that same week I discovered that John Rogan, my acquaintance of the dust mote; was Mrs. Wallace's brother. John and I afterwards became sweethearts. Six months later, in a life of grace which happily has still lasted. We have our differences as every married couple. But the memory of our meeting and little John Jr., secreting to keep and hold the love which Nell Parks, God bless her, beyond the pale of respectability as she is, was the divine instrument that made possible my fine husband and baby, by baby, from myself.

Redfern Given New Post,
COLUMBIA, S.° C—
Benedict College, one of
the oldest American Bap-
tis! Home Mission Society
colleges in the South, may
open next year with ‘a
colored president, it was
earned from authoritative
sources here this week.
Plans to place a race executive
wer the institution are being con-
fdered by the Executive Board of
the Society and an announcement
from that quarter is expected at an
early date.
Established in 1870
Benedict was established in 1870
ts Benedict Institute and incor-
peated under the laws of South
Gerolina as a college in 1894. Re-
ently it was granted class “A” rat-
ing. Tt has a plant valued at
302491, comprising 20 acres of
‘ampus and eleven buildings.
Dr. J. J. Starks, for several years
president of Morris College at Sum-
ter. is being considered for the new
president, replacing | President. M.
Gatisdel, white, Dr. Starks is known
1m educational circles as one of the
most progressive and efficient admin-
fstrators in the South, having de-
eloped Morris College from a small
institution to a place of importance
fn the state.
Recalls Strike
The rumor of administrative
changes at the college recalls that
several months ago students staged
t strike against Dean M. Redfern,
shose Pih.D. degree was questioned
ina recent government, survey of
sthools, The strike was temporarily
ited when it was promised that
aijustments would be made at the
end of the session, Redfern has
tien made secretary-treasurer. He is
said to be_a leading figure in the
liy-white Republican party.
Tn pointing out its strategical lo-
cation at Columbia, the capital of
the state, across the street from _Al-
kn Ur'versity, the Government Sur-
wey of Negro Colleges and Universi-
ties recommended that higher stand-
ards in all branches and. functions
af the college be maintained; that
more support other than its present
endowment of around $125,000 and
fudent fees be obtained and that
the powers of the board be enlarged
to the extent that it may take a
more active part in the administra~
tion of the college.
The survey also recommended a
re-organization of the academic-and
college depart ments and that
feachers in the college department
be relieved of classes in the academy.

Considerable mystery surrounds

the white man went to the door and
tried the knob of the house. When

Aided by Errors, Warfield men Score 7-4 Victory.
In pepless games brightened here and there with patches of brilliant playing, the Hildale Club took both ends of a twin bill from the Stars at Maryland on Sunday. Hildale opened with spitted batting first onces over the fence to chalk up the first score. Nothing else interesting happened until fourth inning, when Cockburn followed a two bagger made by Jackson, a base hit, bringing the former home.
NEW YORK—The second half of the American Negro League's 1929 pennant race got under way at the Protectory Oval Sunday when the two leading clubs in the league the Baltimore Black Sox C. the Lincoln Giants, played as double header before a crowd of 6,000 fans, with the local team winning the first game by a score of 9-2 and the visitors taking the other 7-4.
The Cubans also staged a rally in their half of the fourth, when they walked, and a funeral in Jackson. Alphaso followed this with a two baggers and Perez came in. There might more, but Bolas was caught napping at third and although putting up a brave fight was tagged in the criss-
With Connie Rector on the mound in the first game, the Lincoln played brilliantly. But in the other contest, they seemed listed in costly errors each time. The game gave the victory decided advantage.
Sox Scoreless Till Ninth
Rector held the Sox scoreless until the last inning. In the game Rap Dixon and D. Lindy both hit their end of the score. Scales hit a home run, with three on bases off Ryan in the first inning, single-handed by the Lloyd and five runs were added to in the fourth when singles by Scales. Lloyd, Spearman and Rector accounted for four more runs. "Scales relieved Ryan in the second and except in the fourth inning, pitched ball."
In the nightcap it was all Hilldale, despite some good pitching by Sijo. Castro was taken from behind the bat when he let some valuable ones pass.
Carter held the Cubans to four hits in the seven innings played, while the Hilldale batters connected with seven of Sijo's offerings.

Florinny and Holland were opposing pitchers in the second game but errors gave the Baltimore Mets an advantage. They were defended by a home run by Charlie Smith. after he had hit what ordinarily would have been a homer, but which hit a tree and ended up in a two-bagger with others. Melton's two bagger would have also been a home run had it not hit a tree and bounded back on the field. Pete Washburn, the catcher in that brought rounds of cheers from the fans.

Learn Your Real Condition
Our laboratory tests of blood, urine and other secretions give you imminent and degree of your disease. These methods differ greatly from the examination of urine and blood in medical examinations. The ordinal tests are often sufficient for determining the state of general chronic disease and weaknesses, a special analysis must be made. If you want to be successfully treated for any of these conditions, a special specialist who confirms his opinion and diagnoses of your condition by a laboratory analysis is much more important than do for you cannot afford to take chances with it. When you come to our offices to have these tests made, all will be made so plain to you that you will be able to understand the condition, and you will thereby be enabled to realize just what our direct treatment will do. Knowing this you will want to co-operate with us in securing it: very best results. The time to consult us is now. Do not invite complications by delay.

The Passing Review BY BILL GIBSON
The Passing Review BY BILL GIBSON
AS WE WRITE THIS, teams in the American League are swinging into the second half of the season's schedule. The race for the bunting in this final game will bring to a hot one, and we will have to play Frank Warfield and his boys' experiences in the first session, are going to be hard to keep out of the top hole. Naturally, you would expect us to say that, or else move out of Baltimore overnight, honestly, when you consider the club that the American City has assembled, you will at least have to pause a moment before
dispensing us.
He is identification of Lattimore and Warmack by the Black Sox should give them the balance for which they have been striving. "Eggy" Clarke has been doing the iron man stunt behind the bat, but with Lattimore, a good hitter and untrilinger player, he should be able to rest up and get back old hitting stride. A steady man behind the back unexcitable-Clarke has been the turning point in many a Black Sox victory, though he did not get credit for it. Lattimore, it is believed, will make an
able Of course when it comes to the matter of winners, the Home-stead Grays will not deny that they have the best championship league, and you will. The Pittsburgh Poseymen, the Pennsylvanian clan, while specialization is the keynote of the success of the Black Sox. After seeing Britt pitch a four-hit game and then come back to catch the second game, one need have little further proof of the versatility of this
organization.
Jake Beckwith, at home in any position on the diamond, the Harper boys, Owens, Ewing, Mason, and others, all are players who can be placed in more than one position and who can be expected to fill it well.
Nip Winters and Jud Wilson, we believe, change about more than any other two players on the Monumental City team. Winters is proving a fine utility man and has been the player who believed Wilson quite a bit at first base. The players, however, are specialists, as well as the infield and outfield will show, and it will be a high degree of organization that the Sox are pinning their horses for a pennant during the second half.
the Lincoln Giants are yet to be reckoned with, for they prove a thorn in the side of the locals every time the two clubs meet yet this col. be the best team in the league. The Barcharachs and Hilldale, both strengthened by the return of suspended players, will be tougher customers in the second half than they were in the first, but not neuter, will be of equal importance to themselves, however, be of distinct annoyance to clubs who are racing neck and neck, because a victory over one of two contenders for the flag will make quite a bit of difference in the standing. The Cubans are not strong enough to play, although at least they play and play a fine brand of ball. Weakness in their pitching department and a slump in hitting, however, mar their chances for the bunting. So it appears that it will be the Sox or the Grey in the next game. This is no displacement of the Keenanmen, no indeed, for we have the greatest respect for John Hennery Lloyd and his boys, but the New Yorkers don't impress us as being quite as good (consistently so), as either the Sox or the Grey, because of the things that they in order to pull through on top.
Versatility versus specialization, then, seems to be the struggle on which the winning of the second half depends. It will be a bitter struggle, but should be well worth the price. Tidings from the western sector inform us that the Kansas Monarchs have copied the first half of the game. The Monarchs, the dopesters say, have little competition other than the Chicago American Giants for the second half. The Chicago team appears to be at a great disadvantage with Manager Jim Brown benched for the beat. The Chicago team needed to lead the Windy City tossers—and that right urgently. With a leader the Chicago and Kansas City teams might battle nip and tuck for the flag. And by the way, we wonder if the East-West series is to be resumed this year. That would be a mighty fine thing, we believe, and suggest that the league heads communicate with each other and decide whether or not such a series would be practicable this fall.

FOOTWEAR FOR HORSES will be in style for husky humans in a week or so when this department pitches the opening shoe in the AFROS horseshoe pitching tournament. We are confident that interested in winning one of several prizes you want to get entered right away in this tournament. There will be plenty of action, plenty of fun and plenty of people. Maybe you thought you were quite a horsehoe pitcher, once upon a time, or maybe you still cherish that belief. And maybe you really are. But you can't tell until you've entered the tournament and pitched against some of the best tossers in the league.
Why not write in today, or better still, fill in the entry blank on this page, cut it out and mail it to the Horseshoe Editor at the AFRO-AMERICAN. Come on, let's see how many honest-to-goodness horse pitchers we have in Maryland Free State.
A BASEALL FAN, one Brooklyn Fountain, writes in to tell us that he heartily agrees with our suggestion to have a Warfield Day at Maryland Park in order to demonstrate Baltimore's pride in what Frank Warfield has done with the Black Sox.
Fan Fountain suggests Sunday, August 1 as the day, but we believe that this date. We are determined that a Warfield Day shall be held and hope by next week to be able to announce the date.
BY WAY OF EXPLANATION, comes a communication from our good friend Edgar Brown out in the city where they go boom and then faw down, which should set at rest those misinformed souls who would like to know what this National Law Tennis championship takes in all about.
Edgar see, seize:
"There have been tennis tournaments played before, but most people will look wild at you when it is said thus: lawn tennis cannot be played on clay. The public generally doesn't know how to play on grass. In their mind when you say tennis. Then, if you want to get a real rise from them, say all the great tennis has been seen, and the international players have won their world championships on 'grass' courts.
"The famous lawn tennis shrine is at Wimblead, England, where Ham Willem Womersen, and Tilden bowed to the Frenchmen in the seminars."
"We must put in capital letters this fact: LAWN TENNIS IS ONLY TENNIS WHEN PLAYED ON LAWN COURTS and the event is only open when players of every cline parade there ever has been a real open 'Lawn Tennis' tournament where all comers are welcome is scheduled for the Washington Park Grass Courts in Chicago during the week of July 27.
"Men's singles, ladies singles, junior singles, men's doubles and women's singles, all have been held in velvety courts of greenward which have been under daily treatment for three months by the lawn and garden experts of the South Park commission will be quite adequate as well as most picturequees. Those who have seen Wimbledon and Forest Hills say they are not comparable in beauty of landscape.
"These nine grass courts enclosed by a horseshoe grandstand and set off with boxes for the distinguished guests, including the Hon. Louis L. Emerson, governor of the State of Illinois, and the president of the American Tennis association, and the donors of the magnificent trophies, as well as the committee of one hundred hostesses headed by Edith Sampson, will not only afford an inspiring spectacle and rendezvous for players of every nation, but come together to stand out as one of the great lawn tennis meets of the world.
"George Jennings, crowned Illinois State champion last week at River Forest, and the LeJek brother of Hamilton Park; Limjoo, Perfect and Gonzolas head the Phillipine competition, and the two other members stand out as one of the North Shore Tennis clubs; our own Douglas Turner, the first race lad to receive his letter at Illinois in eighteen years, and whose tennis record in the Big Ten was not marred by the loss of single match; O. Grant, head of the Western champion, of Michigan; O. Willingham, head of the class of entrants for the first open lawn tennis championships.
"Miss Ora Washington, Philadelphia; Mrs. Dorothy Ewell, Chicago; Miss Hines, North Carolina; Ms. Seams, the mother of tennis in Chicago; and Miss Guest of Michigan, give some indication of her interest. And lest you forget it, Signor Brown will find himself in the role of defending champion, for the tournament is to be conducted on the old English style, which will mean that this year's tournament will play the 1928 champion of the American Tennis Association, which is none other than the good Signor Brown. And that's that."

in Two Games.
The Silver Moon tossers shone in all their splendor Sunday afternoon, taking one game from the Cheltailles, 12-6, and another from the Evergreen A.C. white, by a 13-3 verdict at Drud Hill
While not taking from the glory of their victories, the Moons were greatly aided by inferior pitchers, their opponents, who were completely outclassed, largely due to lack of good pitching strength. Four errors made by the Silver Moons caused Chelfain runs to be scored, while miscues at critical moments prevented them from scoring a shutout victory in the first con-
Ble Bats Crash
Carter was on the mound in the first contest, and backed by rather good fielding, at times erratic, he steamed through to an easy victory. Bass and Norris proved adept in both contests, but the former rapping out a triple and a single in the first contest and a home run in the second contest. while Smith smacked out a circuit clout in contest No. 1. Gross, in shortstop, had a good day at the proved a distance to the opposing pitcher, when on the paths. The Silver Moons clouted the offerings of Hartman. Evergreen, pitcher in the second contest, collecting 18 hits for 13 runs. Three home runs were hit during the first four innings, and one more was hit before the
The Evergreens began to find Austin in the third in line, scoring one run, and Wildy was sent in as relief. Wildy kept his hits well scattered and was never in danger.

Split at Port Deposit
PORT DEPOSIT, MD—The Silver Moons spill even in their double-header with the Port Deposit tossers, here July 4th, winning the first contest, 6-0, but dropping the nightcap by an 8 to 7, "verdict." The mound in the fusus, contest and allowed only three measly hinges.
The Locke A.C. tosses suffered their first double defeat of the season. Sunday, when they dropped both ends of a twin bill to the South Baltimore team, Pride pitched the first game, and though he struck out 12, the Stars nosed the Locks out in a contest that want 14 innings before it was decided. He decided with the Mt. Winns A.C., winning the first game, 17-3, but dropping the second, 8 to 4. The Locks would like games in Washington Delaware or Virginia.

500 PARTICIPATE IN PARK HOLIDAY MEETS
Frances Male And C. Moss Take High Honors In Morning Water Events CONTEE HIGH MAN
Over 500 participated in holiday activities at Drudg Hill Park July 4, the chief events being the swimming meet held in the morning, and the track and field meet held in the afternoon.

DETROIT DRIVER IS VICTOR IN BIG RACE
Piloting Frontenac Car, Anderson Drives 100 Miles in 1.29:52, July 4.
WIGGINS IS SECOND
INDIANAPOLIS, IND.—Before the largest crowd of fans to ever witness the annual 100-mile championship auto race, Barney Anderson driving a two port Frontenac speed charlot, flashed across the finish line to receive the checkered flag and cop the $1200 1st price, at the Indiana State Fair Grounds Speedway, July 4.
Barney drove one of the most beautiful races ever witnessed in this city, not stopping even once for oil, tires, gas, or anything else he might have thought he needed on his wild ride to fame and fortune. In the time trial he was beaten by three heavy foot masters, but in the main event he was not to be headed, not to be passed and not to be denied what he sought. At ten miles, Anderson was leading the field and was never headed off from their until he received the checkered flag. His time one hour, 29 minutes, 52 seconds.
Wiggins Is Second
Charlie; Wiggins, local boy in a creation of his own brain and mechanical genius, a Wiggins Special, finished just three minutes and seven seconds behind the winner, to cop second money of $500. Bill Carson of Chicago, whose well groomed mount failed him in the pinch and who relieved him of the arm, waved the wheel Bill Jeffries' Frontenac burgled for three laps after the "Old Master" himself had come out of the race in the 54th lap, clipped off some pretty laps, some less than 50 seconds each, and was successful in finishing in third place. Wilbur Galnes, who arrived just in time for the race after a break down of his passenger car en route from Chicago, driving a car inscribed in 5th place. Bill Blackman, also from Chicago, was 5th and Bug-Burns, Washington Court House, Ohio, was 6th.
GRICE FATALLY HURT
Edward Grice, Indianapolis, winner of third prize in the 1928 race, driving a Fronty-Ford at a sixty mile rate per hour went into a skid on the Northwest turn of the track while doing his 27th lap, closely behind William Walthall, with twenty feet into the air clear of his car which smushed over four times and smushed through the fence bordering the track.
Grice, who suffered a fractured skull and broken spine, died Monday afternoon at the city hospital. He remained unconscious for 72 hours. Grice was thrown clear of his mount on the wertend bend of the one-mile dirt oval. He was veteran driver on the local track. His accident apparently was due to faulty mechanism in his steering
All cars that were started in the race received $50 in consolation money, regardless of the length of time they staved in.
After defeating the Gien Arm Giants by a 10-5 score, July 4, the Colvin Pleasure Club nine took on the Rosebud A.C. in a doubleheader, Sunday, winning both games by the scores of 23-3 and 16-15. Seven home runs were hit during the first Sunday game, Stafford J. Meyers and Johnson getting two each, while Forrest accounted for one.

but Cop Nightcap, 11-3.
The Ebenezer Royals split even in a double-header with the Georgetown A.C. last Sunday, losing the first game, 6-8, and driving two pitchers from the box to win the nightcap, 11-3.
Poor fielding by Puddin Parker in the opener caused "Pencil" Williams to drop the verdict after winning five straight games.
Glenn (Spees) Sharp, veteran left-hander, captured the nightcap amid fist fights of spectators. The game came delayed for twenty minutes, Catcher Smith and Stewart came to blows. The fans had bet on Georgetown and joined in. After the disturbance had subsided the game was continued.

HAMPTON GRIDMEN FACE TOUGH CARD
HAMPTON GRIDMEN FACE TOUGH CARD
Seasiders Open Season, Playing Howard Bisons on Armstrong Field.
9 GAMES SCHEDULED
Lincoln, A. and T., West Va.
College, Listed
By CHAS. H. WILLIAMS
HAMPTON INST., VA.—The Hampton football eleven, which won the 1928 C.I.A.A. Championship and also the title of Iron Men, because of their stamina will have to hurdle even more difficult obstacles this fall to anex a championship.
The 1929 football schedule for the Blue and White is one of the most impressive ever arranged for a Hampton eleven. The season opens with Howard University at Hampton. The first game of the two eleven in five years. The public has been demanding and patiently waiting for the resumption of play between Howard and Hampton. No game has been able to take the place of this one in the public mind. Hundreds of graduates and fans of these two institutions, who recall the wonderful contests of the past, are alight on the journey to Hampton on October 5. St. Paul will follow Howard on October 12. October 19. Va. State will meet the Seasiders on Armstrong Field. State had one of the best eleven last year, finishing second and losing only to Hampton. The coming season they are expecting have a better team. This contest is worth journeying a long way to see.
On November 2, Hampton and Lincoln will play in the Polo Ground, New York City. This will be the first time that teams representing Negro colleges will appear before the New York public. There will be a suite of games. From all indications one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a Negro game will see these earns in action on the Polo Grounds.
On Armistice Day, Hampton and A. and T. will again play in Norfolk as last year. This game will be played on a holiday that extended one of our games in Norfolk. Hundreds of people came from North and South Carolina and Virginia. As the game will be played on a holiday, last year's crowd is expected to be surpassed.
Hampton's home coming game will be November 16, when West Va. College Institute comes to Armstrong Field. This will be West V' ginia's first appearance in this section. The Yellow Jackets defeated Hampton last year 7-0 which was the only win over the blue and white. Coach Gideon E. Smith will need to even up affairs with West Va. this fall.
Thanksgiving Dav. Hampton and Union meet in Richmond. Captain Bvrd and Duke Baker. Hampton's reliable punter, will be lost to the team next year. These and other gaps will have to be filled, but the Hampton coaching staff will with Gidson Smith at the helm to weld toes to another machine that will be reckoned with. The schedule will be as follows: October 5th—Howard University at Hampton.
October 12th - St. Paul at Hampton.
October 18th - Petersburg, at Hampton.
October 26th - Not settled.

That the Women's Co-operative Civic League and co-operating agencies did a good job in the city-wide clean-up campaign became evident as AFRO-AMERICAN reporters checked up results in several alleys and out-of-the-way places in Northwest Belfast, under the 1500 block of Argyle avenue, for instance, there was a narrow alley where stagnant water often remained for weeks last summer. It looks like a new place since the good women started their drive. Similarly a blind alley back of Pennsylvania avenue at Pitcher street was in a bad condition. check-up showed that even this out-of-the-way corner had not been overlooked. One feature of the drive was the buying by residents of many new modern garbage cans. The type
which cannot be opened by cats or dogs is the only right kind, the ladies say. The city was also induced to install a number of large trash cans.
Junior Clubs
According to Miss Hazel Macbeth, secretary of the Woman's Civic League, a number of junior clubs are being organized to keep up the good work. Large numbers of young people were used under the direction of Mrs. P. D. G. Pennington to distribute posters and in South Baltimore, Mrs. Avonla D. Brown, organized a group of young people into a junior civic league. The clean-up was made in connection with the city Street Cleaning department and the white Civic League. Mrs. Margaret G. Hawkins headed the committee in charge.

Well Pansy, Old Dear:
The weather man's prediction of
a perfect Fourth was surely realized
by the celebrations of the day's
events.
As a rule, dear, during some part of
the day on the Fourth of July, there
was a celebration of rain.
However, the clear skies this time
surely helped the merry making of
the day, where youth and age joined
in a celebration that go to
make an enjoyable event.
The parks, suburban homes, water-
fronts and many roads that led the
motorists away from the hot city,
were filled with the patriotic
colors of the holiday.
Bands of music playing patriotic
airs, dancers, and dancers
incheons, dinners, and dancing
were enjoyed at Wonderland Park
Edgewater shore and private groves.
Athletes did their stunts at Drill Hill park and various athletic fields, and they were beached over the Fourth was a colorful scene of art and beauty. Exquisite beach palmas, made of flat crepe, with the sport shoes, tie and cap of the same hue, attracted great interest. Women in the women promenaded the beach, while ripples of gay laughter echoing from the numerous crowds along the water front kept the beach alive with their free manner and lightness. The women stand and appreciate art, a beautiful picture was revealed as those creatures bared their bodies of the dress that civilization had imposed, and the sun lolling in the sand and wading neck-deep in the water.
In the cool of the evening came
the enclosing odor of dinner at Ware
and Flagg hotels. Two hundred or
more of society's elite were soon

School No. 124 on last Friday morning when their principal, James L. Thomas, called a meeting. But instead of the usual routine, he and Mrs. Thomas served an elaborate luncheon. The table was beautifully decorated with pink and white roses.
A number of sub-debs were seen in groups, but as the moon began to over the horizon, autos chugged and the beach was soon desgusted.
While enjoying the menu, the principal told his co-workers that the affair was an attempt to show his appreciation for the loyal support given him during the year. Responses come from Sarah Jackson, Essie Browne and Eugene Browne. Each teacher carried away two exquisite white roses.
Sunday was a repetition of the Fourth. The torrid weather, if anything, attracting a still larger crowd.
Erma and Brad's Picnic.
Girlie, by no means was Highland Beach the only place that lured so much people to the towns over the Fourth-for- Brad and Erma James entertained at their home at Patapso, Md., at a most enjoyable all-day picnic. About twenty couples were invited and arra-
nied for a 6 a.m. and noon. Yes, by the way, everybody brought his lunch basket.
Croquet, ball games, cards and swimming were on the schedule for the early part of the morning. In the afternoon, the spread on the lawn and everybody's goodies were invitingly placed upon a table holding oodies of fried chicken, plates and plates of assorted fried chicken, home-made cakes and goodies of delicious Virginia baked beans (brought by one of the guests all the way from Washington)—potato salad galore, home-made cakes and goodies of cooling drinks. Stroils through the shady lanes—automobile rides around the country or a quiet reclining hour filled up the program until the dew began to fall. Returning to the kitchen, chairs all along the spacious porch and the delightful airy reception hall, iced water melon was served. A display of fire works followed on the lawn, which everybody made merry. Dancing followed in the drawing room.
Pansy, Marian Dugger Webb's new home is a beauty and, oh, so spacious, in the 2400 block of Madison Avenue, where she certainly aware of this fact, for Marian very graciously permitted this chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta fraternity to entertain the graduate members of the Gamma Chapter there last week. Bridge was the order of the evening and such lovely gifts as prizes, with Marian Harmon captain, Martha Tippin and Catherine Jordan leaden next. A rather unusually delightful menu followed, with the table adorned with flowers, candles and graduate. The guests included Mildred McMechen, Catherine Jordan Roberta Holmes, Adèle Watkins Pearl Rhodes, Martha Harmon, Noe Tippin, and Catherine Jordan. The hostesses were Marian Webb Jeanette Moore, Nellie Buchanan Iradell Williams and Marian Ginn. More Bon Voyage Parties
Besides Erma's sisters, Margaret, Louise, Ethel and Willie, and their husbands or sweethearts, her brothers, James Julius and John, were named Bert and Mack, Brad's sister, Bert and Mack, and Baby Betty, motored by for a few seconds, as did Mr. C. C. and Miss Giltter Fitzgerald. Jeanne Johnson and Mrs. Bert Fitzgerald. Others present were: Brad's cousins, Mary Sewell, Sarah Fernandis, and Eugene Briscoe, Eunice Williams, her sister, mother and dad from Haleorthope, Rea Brown and her sister, Aurelia Randall, Nellie Bragg, Helen Fisher, Claudia De Man and a number of other ladies whose names I didn't quite catch; Josiah Diggs, Billie Mitchell, Bernard Wyatt, Frank Sorell, Donald Wyatt, and a bunch of Washington friends.
Hilda and Connie are way out at sea by now. Wonder who get seasick Maybe they are wearing goggles for glimpses of the ocean for the piece of green; then again they are perhaps just drinking in the wonders and beauty of it all. Well-what starts to say. They are them a lovely steamer bridge luncheon on the Saturday before they left here for New York. The affair was truly a niffy and enjoyable one. Twenty-ish think at the home of Bertha Pennington, 1518 McCullion street. The table service was unusually beautiful. Bridge followed. The salts were mints and decorated with seals from places abroad. The table markers were real little steamers, bearing the names of six ocean liner one of which Hilda and Connie called.

Ernest Hayes to Study in Europe
In a few years from now, girlie, going to Europe will be a common occurrence among us. The fever has gotten into our bones already. Here of late, we are hearing of some one of our friends, booked for steamer this or that, to study in Europe. Just getting over Hilda and Connie's departure, we hustle back to do honors to Mildred before she sets sail. Today, they tell me that Ernest Hayes, formerly of Baltimore, the son of Rev. and Mrs. D. W. Hayes, sailed for Europe on the Steamer Columbus, on July 3, to study in Paris.
Of course, Walhelan Dett, director of music at Hampton, sailed with him also. Girlie, you know Ernest is organist and instructor of the School of Music, at Hampton In-
All the guests that were invited to enjoy the evening with Mildred brought useful and suggestive gifts from the hotel, the hotel bearer, behalf of the club, presented Mildred, with a brief speech in French, a beautiful collapsible umbrella. Bridge was the amusement for the evening, with Ethel Jones and Mabel Bentley, the hotel table decorations, girlie! They reminded one of being truly on one of the big ocean steamers. And the menu—enough to make your mouth water; for instance, cucumbers cut into pieces, with the most delicious crab salad, and right on the end of the boats were cleverly placed French flags;
the rest of the menu was equally enjoyable. Of course, Mildred was delighted, as well as excited, and enlisted the rest of the team, almost as did the rest of the bunch. Besides the club members, Flava Thomas was one of the invited guests, also Roberta Holmes, Mildred Jones, Elimra Thibs, Nora Waring, Jill Williams, Vivie Williams, Ivy Boone, Edith Biddle and Sarah Fernandis.

Ernest Hayes to Study in Europe
In a few years from now, girlle, going to Europe will be a common occurrence among us. The fever has gotten into our bones already. Here of late, we are hearing of some one of our friends, booked for steamer this or that, to study in Europe. Just getting over Hilda and Connie's departure, we hustle back to to donors to Mildred before she sets sail. Today, they tell me that Ernest Hayes, formerly of Baltimore, the son of Rev. and Mrs. D.

Portia E. Martin, of Chicago, Given Wedding Reception
Ye gods and little fishes, Pat. listen to this for wedding gifts: a Chevrolet car, a gift from the groom: a chest of silver and silver table cloth from the bride's parents; and a gift from the godmother; besides the numerous gifts from other relatives and friends.
I guess I can get down to the particulars I didn't get when the wedding took place, but I did hear that Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Martin of Chicago, the mother and father of my son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Searcy, a quite brilliant wedding reception at their home. 5856 Prairie avenue, on Tuesday evening, June
The home was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and palms and the bride chose for her colors pink and white, which was carried on in its entirety. Then, girlle, a coterie of girl friends of the bride acted as hostesses, all being gowned alike in Miss Madeline Welsh, sweetly gowned in alice blue chiffon of floating ruffles with the uneven hem line in the back, had charge of the bride's book. After registering, the bride presented the wife, some Miss Mary Harris, who was a picture of loveliness in canary chiffon with accessories to match; and she in turn, presented them to the bride, Alexander, formerly of Washington, now a teacher in Gary.
Mrs. Alexander was becoming gowned in peach taffeta; she presented the guests to the receiving bride and groom (the bride's costume was of white satin and tulle which made a perfect background for her pink slippers and rose). Mrs. Ella Searcy, mother of the bride; Mrs. Ella Searcy, mother of the groom, Miss Jean Searcy, sister of the groom. Miss Searcy was lovely in her gown of pink satin. Mrs. Mary Castleberry was also in the gown of the godmother of the bride.
After leaving the receiving line, Miss Harris ushered the guests to the gift room where they were met by the godmother, modestly gowned in a lovely orchid goblette with accessories to match and she displayed the costly, beautiful and numerous gifts. After viewing the gifts they were then met, she activated in a becoming powder blue
georgette, who ushered them to the dining room whire they were met by the petite Miss Dorothy Williams, who charming in a rose georgette and who saw that the guests were served. The dining room was a picture of loveliness, further emphasizing the color scheme of purple and green. The room was filled with white lilacs and lilies of the valley, was suspended over the center of the table, and this bell was surrounded by small wedding bells. Ribbons of white flowers were hanging from the bell to the ends of the table. Portia was a teacher in the public schools in Delaware for five years. I am not quite sure what they are, but they are both well known in Chicago and very popular.
Do decide to come down soon,
Pansy.

The Numbers Racket
You Lose.
Well, sir, they tell me that the numbers are even responsible for the church attendance of many people here.
these bodies at church one Sunday had a hunch to play the number of the first hymn that they came out. Since then, the gossipers say, there have been more people coming out to church who never attended, then ever
before.
And that I'm still behind the
racket, playing a dream every day,
and just to show you what a
player is in, in summer hard luck.
I played. Wednesday, came out

see my chance for $54 go in
