S. Congress. 55,000 DEMOCRATS 45,000 G.O.P.; 75,000 Negroes Unregistered. NEW YORK. (By Telegram)—Hubert D. Delany, assistant U. S. attorney, candidate for Congress from the twenty-first district, is assured of success if 75,000 unregistered Harlemites can be gotten to the polls. To the AFRO-AMERICAN, Monday, he gave the following statement by telegraph: The total registration in the 21st District is approximately 100,000, 45,000 of which are Republican. I am running against a Democrat who has not run before and I think that chances of election are excellent on this account, and because there are 75,000 Harlemites who can and do vote, but who will be inspired to vote if a straw campaign is conducted. "I intend, with the aid of the press, to bring out 25,000 of these 75,000 dormant votes and I see no reason to look forward to anything but success in the forthcoming election." Amsterdam News Agrees William H. Davis, president of the Amsterdam News, local weekly, wired the AFRO the following: "We consider Delaney's chances of election favorable, provided we register and vote." Harris Talks George W. Harris, editor of the New York News, and candidate for Alderman, said: "Hubert Delany can be elected Congressman if the Republican party will get solidly behind and secure an easily possible colored registration of fifty thousand. "This, with a normal white Republican vote of 20,000, would give him a larger vote than any Congressman ever received in the district. Delany should make an efficient campaign, being generally popular, able, and having made many strong friends. Fred Moore, editor of the New York Alder, who lost out in his effort to be designated by leaders as a candidate for re-election, declined to make a statement for the AFROAMERICAN.

U.N.I.A.A.Again Names Marcus Garvey Its Head President General and Founder, Elected by Acclamation. Refused to Produce Books for Court. KINGSTON, Jamaica.—In a session attended by fifteen thousand delegates, and marked by un undercurrent of opposition, Marcus Garvey, president general and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was re-elected head of that body at its sixth international congress here Wednesday. Garvey was also selected to continue as head of the African Communities League, which has headquarters in St. Andrews. Meets Opposition That there was a well defined opposition, however, was kept well evident throughout the session. This opposition, however, was kept welt under control by the tactful handling of a well oilled majority steam tractor. Several times the two factions almost clashed, and at the Tuesday business session, Garvey adherents, after charging that there were delegates present for the sole purpose of making trouble, urged the President General to withdraw. This, however, Garvey, did not do on the ground that it would not be discreet to name the trouble-makers and undesirables. No Relation In accepting the presidency of the organization Garvey declared that it had no official relations with the incorporated association in New York. On the eve of the meeting of the congress, Garvey and an official from the court were killed by court by G. Marks, who sought to collect obligations, incurred by the body which home within the next week. Garvey headed in New York. Fined $125 At the court proceedings Garvey refused an order of the court to bring books of the association and was cited for contempt. The court timed him in court, in which to produce and books and levied a fine of $125. Liberty Hall, meeting place of the association, the equipment of the Blackwater Brewing Company, Park the meeting of the congress and a church were ordered placed under control of the court. She Had 636 Quarts But Goes Free WASHINGTON. (CNS) — Although agents testified that they found 636 quarts of alleged liquor piled ceiling high in the hallway of her home, Mrs. Mary Stanley, Canal street, southwest, walked out of the court a free woman here last week. Mrs. Stanley gained her freedom not because the assistant attorney, R. P. Camaler, who had been arrested and apprehended the dismissal action, did not believe her guilty, but because of a recent ruling of Commissioner Doran, that homes in the District of Columbia may not be invaded in a search for liquor without warrant.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 17, 1929 U. S. DEMANDED NO PETTICOAT LIBERIA END RULE IN CITY SLAVE TRADE SCHOOLS-WOOD Contents of Note Not Made Public at State Department. FAULKNER WINS Liberia Agrees on International Probe. WASHINGTON, D. C. Investigation of alleged conditions of slavery in Liberia is to be made by an international commission, the State Department announced last Saturday. The commission will be appointed by the Liberian Government. It will consist of one Libarian, one American and one other member to be selected by the League of Nations. When an official request is received from the Liberian Government regarding this appointment, the American Government will be glad to co-operate, it was stated orally at the State Department. In the announcement made by the State Department the word "slavery" was not used, the term applied being "forced labor conditions." The text of the announcement is as follows: Commission "A telegram received from the American Legation at Monrovia, dated August 9, states that the Liberian Government has officially requested that the Department make public announcement that the Liberian Government is appointing an international commission to investigate alleged forced labor conditions in Liberia. The commission is to be composed of one Libarian, one American and one other member. "The Liberian Government further, n states its hope that the United States and the League of Nations will each agree, upon the request of the Iberian Government, to recommend a to be appointed to the commission. Note Sent It is understood that recently the State Department sent a strong note to the Liberian Government on the subject and that this led to the decision for an investigation into the text of a letter disclosed. Reports of slavery in Liberia have been widespread for several years. Private investigators and native political opponents of the government at Monrovia have made sweeping allegations through publications in this country and in Europe. League of Nations The subject has been brought up several times at Geneva and the aid of the League of Nations has been sought. The United States Government is thought to have intervened with what is understood to have been practically a demand for a clean-up and to have brought the situation to a head after Thomas J. R. Faulkner, an Americanborn naturalized citizen of Liberia, and defeated candidate for the Liberian presidency, returned to the United States and barred conditions at the State Department of the AFRO-AMERICAN. Mr. Faulkner charges that the Liberian Government enforces a system of virtual slavery upon natives from the hinterland. A sum equal to $30 is paid for each native who is shipped out of the country, and, according to Mr. Faulkner, the president of Liberia, Charles W. McGregor, the American Government officials share in the money which comes from this source. Veneer of Regularity A venerate of regularity, according to reports, has been given to the practice by arrangements permitting the natives to regain their liberty thru savings from nominal earnings. Their earnings have been so small, it is said, and the charge for their return that they have remained in virtual peonage. The Firestone Rubber Company, which began extensive cultivation of rubber in Liberia three years ago, is in no way involved. REMOVE K.K.K.

Director Makes Reply to Dr. Budd's Letter to the AFRO. MEN SCARCE Three Women Teachers to Every Man. Baltimore, Aug. 12, 1829. Pants used to rule the Baltimore public schools, but since the advent of Dr. Francis M. Wood, petticoats have largely taken their places. In the old days, it was the Principals' Association, which has all male members, that ruled the roost. Principals not only ran their own schools, but they were consulted on public school policy. Dr. Wood's first move was to make four women supervisors. They are also given privileges. They recommend and teachers for promotion transfers. They tell the principal what equipment he can or can't get. They send in supplies he doesn't need and teachers he doesn't want. The last word in indignity heaped upon the principals was the naming last week of three new women vice-principals to schools which have always had male vice principals. If this all goes up, we can expect all the principals of elementary schools in Baltimore eventually to be women folk. I am not saying that this is a good policy or a bad one, but simply reciting the facts. (Dr.) A. B. BUDD. There is a real scarcity of men teachers in the city system as is evident from a brief study of available figures, is the answer of Director Francis M. Wood. In an interview relative to the policy of the administration respecting the employment and promotion of men and women of the system, Dr. Wood said: "The administration has no fixed policy by which one sex is to be elevated above the other. The policy is to promote persons upon merit alone. "It happens that in the colored schools of Balkimore at present, there only two women serving as principals in the elementary schools. This of course is merely an incident. The last five vice-principals named happen to be women and were chosen because we feel that women as a rule are better suited to supervise work in the kindergarten and primary grades than men.

Window Westwood Avenue White Sought to Build Extension A permit to build an extension window and wall so as to shut his home off from a group of race citizens on Westwood avenue, was refused Wm. T. Glinrich, 1824 Westwood avenue, this week. The Glinrich residence, adjoins the home of Cincinnatus Major and after being refused the permit to extend his bay window, he appealed to the zoning board. These are front porch houses and residences in the block appended before the board and protested that the proposed extension, which included a solid wall to within a foot of the top of their porches, would affect their property. MARINES ASSAULT TAXICAB DRIVER BEAUFORT, S. C. (ANP)—Five Marines brutally assaulted Kit Singleton, aged taxi driver, here Tuesday night, took his car, a Packard sedan, and left him for dead. Singleton told officers that the Marines had engaged him to take them across the bridge. One of them struck him from behind with a blunt instrument and all of them bit him. Thinking that he was dead, they threw him out of the car and left him. The car was found in Savannah, Tuesday afternoon.

(CNS) — Several prominent citizens throughout the country are being mentioned in connection with the post of minister resident and consul general to Liberia made vacant by the death of the Hon. William Franks, formerly of Minden, Minnesota. Among the names of J. A. Shipley of Nebraska, formerly a member of the State legislature, George H. Woodson, a prominent attorney of Des Moines, Iowa, and Dr. Wendell of Kentucky, all of whom have filed applications for the post with the State Department. It is reported that Charles H. Mitchell of West Virginia, could have the job if he wanted it, he has filed no application to date and announces that he is not a candidate for the post. Several other prominent citizens throughout the United States, who, because of party loyalty and service, are mentioned for the vacancy, claim that he will not resign an appointment with the United States to Liberia because of the ill effects of the climate of the republic upon the health of Americans.

Groom Fined for Impersonating a Man. BOSTON.—What does it take to make a man? Only knickers, Bond street, loose fitting, double breasted coat, checkered race track vest, cap, broad toed shoes, stiff collar and polka dot four-in-hand though shinned Mary Reynolds of Holyoke street. Hair cut short, she strode into the license bureau last Friday like a heman in good and regular standing. By her side was Louise May, white. They asked for a license to wed. Louise holding hasfully to Mary's arm. The clerk looked surprised when Mary wrote her name as George Reynolds, colored, and Louise May, white. Maybe another Rhinelander case, thought the clerk. He looked again. George did not look like a man to her. So Mary (that is, George) and Louise landed in the lock-up. Louise went free, while Mary received 60 days for impersonating a man. Tenn. Lawyers Balk at Rape "Frame-up" Attorneys Aiding Prosecutor Quit After Three Hour Conference CENTREVILLE, TENN.—What evidence seemed to show was a deliberate frame-up to take the life Turlew Wright, accused of attacking a 55 year old white woman, was too much for two white lawyers assisting the State Prosecutor and they quit the case Wednesday. The public announcement of the two lawyers Robert Brown and Connor Bates, white threw the court, heavily guarded by state militia, into a turmoil. The false evidence came out when Mrs. Zora Lynn, the 55 year old white widow who accused Wright, admitted that she induced two white women to falsely testify that the saw the attack. Two white women had just testified that she had spent most of the evening with the young woman in the night the attack was supposed to have been committed. The young women also admitted that their testimony was untrue. Fourth District Leaders Planning Determined Drive. LEVIN UNDECIDED May or May Not Run for Senate. That the 1930 election will see at least three determined race state legislative candidates in the field, AFROAMERICAN reporters found after a general survey of the political situation this week. Not only did reporters find a deep interest in the coming election, but some of the would-be candidates are already quietly laying the foundation of their campaign. Levin in Doubt One of the questions heard on the streets is whether Harry O. Levin, white State Senator from the Fourth District, will be a candidate next fall. Mr. Levin told a reporter that he had not made up his mind definitely. "Indications," he said, "point to Republican victory and there is no reason why your group should not win representation in the campaign." The fact that certain members of the House of Delegates failed in their effort last year to gerrymandering the Fourth district makes it certain that these delegates will not get the race for the Fourth and that a determined effort will be made to defeat them. Issues Mentioned Although politicians are not prone to discuss issues, it is certain that such questions as race policemen, more state aid for Morgan College, equalization of state teacher salaries and expenditures in county schools, will be among issues put forward. The reporter found both leaders and candidates, however, wary of discussing issues. They say most consideration now should be given to getting representation, and that these issues BETHELHEM, Pa. — Charles Ray, right-hand man to Charles Schwab, white steel king, can't get a divorce from his wife, Nora Holt Ray, cabaret hostess in Paris, he can't get back to his 3300 property he gave her a share in at marriage, and he can't marry anybody else. Under such circumstances what Mrs. Ray does now cannot possibly interest her white steel king, can't get a divorce from his wife, Nora Hott Ray, can I ban Cars, can I he can't get back the $35,000 in property he gave her a share in at marriage, and he cann't marry any other. Under such circumstances what Mrs. Ray does now cannot possibly interest her husband. He trapped her leaves. Atkins Quits A. & T. Post for Wiley Race Scientist Served Greensboro, N. C., as Chemist.

Although the first St. July witnessed the exodus of a host of Washington- ians to all of the smart eastern resorts, New York, Chicago, California and points in New England, Washington and New Salt Lake, news of others sailing for European tours, a check up found that the long list of vacationists had pleately filled the capital Society, faces that still in town so many familiar faces that one was quite profiled to join in the common chorus, exclaiming, "Who would ever dream there would still be so many." But, alas, now that summer school is over and the July left-over has bored from the summer, Washington has come and seems "dead or than dead." Those who by some strange trick of fortune are fated to remain, will be badly bored. Those books could be packed up or thrown aside, teachers and students quit the city. Daily, scores of others leave to attend such conferences in Bordentown, the Medical Convention in Newark, or the Elks Convention in Atlantic City, and in some cases, all three.

The luncheon was tendered the Standard Life Division Office Force of Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been removed to Washington, by the Officers and Home Office Force of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company.

To live a successful life one must know the value of time and its proper use. Money is itself but the essence of "I have some old fashioned notions about this kind of thing. It is because I have had a business experience in the field of food and more than thirty years. I have come in contact with many different types of people. In the world of adversity, I have learned many things—none however, that I consider important. That after providing food, raiment, and shelter, the problems of life are largely social and economic. As a matter of fact, even earning food and raiment is not easy. There are humic struggles. These struggles are moral and spiritual as well. They involve honesty, righteousness and eternal struggle. They underlie life itself, to our self-respect and to our country are worth while virtues." TAILORS HEAR EXPERT WASHINGTON. — J. A. Jackson, business expert of the Department of Commerce, addressed the National Association of Negro Tailors, Dressmakers and Jewelers and cooperative organization plans at their convention in Philadelphia last week.

FEDERAL "PENS" OVERCROWDED REPORT SHOWS Atlanta and Leavenworth Have Double Capacity Provided For 20 PER CENT RACE Most Race Convicts Up on Minor Charges. WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Of 7,007 prisoners incarcerated in federal prisons at Atlanta and Leavenworth this year, 1,291 were colored men and women sent up for the most part for assault, homicide, larceny and burglary, according to a recent survey on penal institutions. Overcrowding, which has caused these prisons to be regarded as "black holes of Calcutta," has been regarded by prison experts as responsible for the worst breaks occurring in prisons recently. 84 PER CENT OVERCROWDED. The Atlanta federal penitentiary, with a capacity of 1,712, was overcrowded in 1928 by 84 per cent, housing 3,684 prisoners. Negroes, while Leavenworth, built to accommodate 2,000 prisoners, was overcrowded by more than 84 per cent, there being 3,684 prisoners neareder of whom 618 were Negroes. While most of the federal violators are sent to these two larger penal institutions, there are a few in each of the other federal prisons. By far the greatest number of prisoners are incarcerated in state prisons and reformatories, however. The total admissions in 1926 show that of the 43,328 persons committed, 8274 were Negro prisoners admitted, only 484 of whom were imprisoned in federal institutions. While the number of arrests for all types of crimes in this city during the past three months shows a marked increase in the number arrested of 1928, the number of colored persons apprehended has increased at considerably less than that the number of white persons arrested, according to a report submitted to Major Henry G. ```markdown ``` Have Soft White Skin by Tonight!

Without mentioning any other statements, the AFRO's statements applies to fraternities which stage achievement weeks. go-to-college weeks, and better business campaigns in the schools. HAMPTON "College fraternities are being used in an entirely different role among our group, from that assumed among the whites, to that assumed among the intellectual" among us seems to have a burning desire to belong to some collegiate fraternity. The cities, small towns, and rural districts are being organized into so-called "intellectual" among us. The social features of these chatters, with their very expensive settings and sometimes other unique features, tend to be quite false notions of their college life, as well as of the functions of a college fraternity. These social features upon which the adult brothers lavish so much effort are serving any useful medical service. "The young men try to duplicate them in their college socials, and 'c' results are well known."

REFUSED REINSTATEMENT AT HOWARD Two of Four Ousted Year Ago, Lose Appeal. PETERS TALKS Explains Charge Which He Was Let Out On. WASHINGTON, D. C. Two of four professors dismissed June 5, 1928, were denied reinstatement Thursday, by the executive committee of Howard University board of trustees. Rehearing of their case took place June 21, last, before a sub-committee of trustees who reported to the executive committee Thursday. The two men refused reinstatement were William Henry Jones and Moses Franklin Peters. Two others dismissed at the same time, Dr. Lorenzo D. Turner and Professor Albert S. Beckham, made no appointment. Dr. Turner has already been appointed professor of English at Fisk, effective next September. Professor Beckham has been teaching in New York public schools, but is expected to accept a post as expert investigator in the area of the Chicago next fall and at the same time pursue courses leading to the degree of doctor of philosophy at the University of Chicago. Mr. Peters gave the AFRO the following statement, in part: "Because of my inability to find a student university to find a leading part in university play which had been advertised and for which tickets had been sold, it became necessary for me to take the part myself. The part was one which necessitated my kissing the heroine. There was irregularity in the rehearsal scene. All the rehearsals were in strict accordance with dramatic procedure. The dean of women, the acting dean of the College of Liberal Arts, and the members of the cast, including Miss Elsa Larsen, whom I was hearing this part, knew that I was going to take it. "Regardless of the regularity in all this procedure, my enemies saw in this a long desired opportunity of injuring me; attributed evil motives to the inclusion of the influenced the dismisses, me. "Miss Hath informed me that she was forced to put this incident in the form of a written accusation. It is clearly evident that she allowed herself to become entangled in the meticulous schemes of the past four years had been seeking to put their friend in my position. Hearing "After an impromptu hearing, in which the president acted as prosecutor, jury, and judge, I was asked to hand in my resignation; but I did not choose to resign and sneak off merely to ease an embarrassing situation which the president himself so had had to deal with. Weose weave and destroy myself in order to relieve the president of the moral responsibility of choosing on the one hand between right and justice, and, on the other, merely expediency and diplomacy. After my dismissal and after a vain effort on the part of the students of the university, we chose to colleague them to our positions, we employed an attorney to assist us in our effort to get justice. American Association "During the fourteen months of this fight, we made several petitions to the Board of Trustees for a hearing in order that we might defend ourselves. Three dates were fixed, but each was postponed. The American Association for University Professionals asked us by taking up the case with the university and calling its attention to its irregular and unethical procedure. Certain congressmen, senators, and influential citizens of Washington, who were informed of the treatment we were receiving, asked us to understand how a university could afford to treat its teachers in that way. "It was only after the administration had learned that we were about to make public exposure of its duplicity that we were granted a standing hearing had been arranged for June 21, and we had been assured that an impartial committee of the Board would sit in judgement upon the cases, to our very great astonishment. We were selected consisted of the president himself, Mr. Jesse E. Moorland, both of whom had already declared themselves as being definitely committed to the previous action of the Board, and who were asking why. Why the president allowed himself to sit on this committee is more than I can understand. June 21 "This farcical hearing was held on June 21. Two of us submitted to it, although we knew that we did not have one chance in a thousand of such a committee. We knew that we were gambling with men who had brought loaded dice to the game, but we were determined to bring their hand to the close of the hearing, the chairman of the committee, Mr. Hawkins, announced that because of the 'grave importance of the matter', the committee would go into conference, be deceived and send it (sealed) to our attorney. "In spite of this announcement, President Johnson, just three days ago, sent a letter to a young woman of Washington concerning me as follows: 'Mr. Peters is a very fine young man and he is innocent, but he is not coming back to Howard University.' When the president replied why, he replied: 'I am president.' "Not satisfied with this unpardonable breaking of faith, he kept me waiting more than seven weeks for his decision. Justice which he decided came, it was as I expected. I was emphatically denied reinstatement. "The university may attempt ruthlessly to trample upon my rights and rob me of my good name, but it cannot rob power of protest, the only effective weapon to be employed against despair and tyranny."

C.— Two women, members of the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, have filed a creditors' petition for probate of the estate of the Rev. James E. Willis, late pastor of that church. The women are Mrs. Laura Wood, 2012 Second street northwest, and Mrs. Elizabeth Polindexter, 1447 W. street northwest. They claim that they made loans of small sums of money to the Rev. Mr. Willis totaling $437. Mrs. Woods says she let him have $100 on September 26, 1926; $75 on October 15, 1927, and $80 on May 6, 1928. Mrs. Poindexter's loan to him was $182 on May 14, 1928. Through their attorney, Elwood G. Hubert, they have made payments for payment, giving them, say, but his widow, Mrs. Martha J. Willis, 1318 Riggs street northwest, has refused to take any steps to protect them and after a period of seven months without satisfaction they filed their petition for probate of his estate. They ask for appointment of them as administrators. The Rev. Willis died on December 26, 1928, without having made a will. His heirs are his widow, his father, Alexander Willis. Nasson, son of Alexander Willis, and Iva, and second son, Mrs. Ida Bibbs, Nasson Station, Orange County, Va., and Mrs. Elizabeth Van Duesen, Albany, N.Y. As far as Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Pointier, and Ivan Laver, the Rev. Willis left to real estate except his home in Riggs street, on which a deed of trust for $4,500 was placed June 19, 1928. He left no personal property, as far as they knew except some of his land. He is a diamond and household furniture. There are no debts, as far as they could find out, except the money owed to them. The expenses of the funeral and last illness of Rev. Willis, they say, were borne by the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church.

M. E.'S STILL USE OLD TIME REVIVAL 54 of 67 Districts Report Plans of "Protracted Meeting." MEMBERSHIP 151,592 Mass Revivals Not Effective in Cities. PHILADELPHIA—Fifty out of sixty-seven district superintendents report some form of a "protracted meeting" plan in use in their districts, according to Dr. W. A. C. Hughes, in a report to the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the M.E. Church. Dr. Hughes said he had made a canvass of 67 districts touching every color conference in the M.E. church and all district superintendents reported some type of evangel- Ten district superintendents reported that the majority of their churches used the personal method, while three district superintendents coupled their evangelistic program with the every member can assent. The districts reporting had a total membership of 151,502. Dr. Hughes said, and their enlistments numbered 8,459. We have taught methods in evangelism in our schools for rural pastors, and emphasized its importance in area councils and a number of city institutes. There is no question about our having an opportunity to do an outstanding piece of work among our Negro community in this field. What we need is someone who can devote his entire time to a training program in the field of evangelism. "We are greatly in need of a program of training in matters of religion. Evangelism, as practiced in our group, is chiefly of the mass revival type. In small towns and country charges this form of evangelism has not entirely lost its power. But in the cities it is rarely effective. In many of our city churches an attempt is made at each preaching service to win recruits. Some few churches have the 'every member canvass' and the personal visitation plan."

Man to be Executed, Gets Two Years in Paris Jail Rich Women Still Mourn Imprisonment of "Brown Pet" PARIS, France—Julan and La-Fortune, French West Indians, sentenced to the gullotine and to Devil's Island for life, respectively, last year on the charge of murder, were brought into court last week on the charge of robbery and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Of course, she is a mere formalize because one will be exiled and the other will go to Devil's Island for life. Both men attracted considerable attention because of the number of rich and in some cases chic and beautiful white women who were interested in them. One of these women, the wife of a rich manufacturer, showered delicacies on Devil's Island the entire day in prison awaiting trial for the murder of an old woman he had killed for her money. The white woman, elegantly dressed, came as a character witness for LaFortune and spoke of him as her "poor, brown pet," and "a generous lion." Another rich English woman also brought him the most expensive cigarettes and hired one of the best lawyers in Paris for him. In the second trial also, the wife of the rich white manufacturer, undaunted by adverse criticism, was in the court room again and gazed, perhaps for the last time, at this black Don Juan who used to give her dancing lessons when he was a figure in the gay and glittering life of Montmartre.

NEW YORK.—Lack of vocational guidance courses in race colleges and the banning of politics from public school appointments were subjects discussed by the ninth Educational Conference held at the Y.M.C.A. two days last week. Howard Long, assistant superintendent of the public schools of Washington, spoke on standards and personnel. Mr. Long told of the importance of the personnel of schools and colleges measuring up to the highest standard. "We have too many in our schools and colleges doing educational work who are not fitting in the scheme of the work. The personnel of a school on college should be chosen without politics. We must avoid the appointment of persons as teachers who get their places through political influences and favoritism." David D. Jones, president of Bennett College, at Greensboro, N. C., discussed the question of finance. "The recent mergers of Negro colleges, he said, are an important result of finance, as the result of finance. I think that it would be advisable for colleges that are unable to maintain themselves to merge or go out of business" Mr Jones said that in a great many cases our education is influenced by finance from which comes its financial aid. The session on Friday evening had to do with "Problems of Personal and Social Adjustment." This discussion stressed vocational guidance, relation of alumni to school, and segregation and exclusion in mixed schools. R. W. Bullock, secretary, National Y.M.C.A. Council, said that as the result of a treehouse that he has built, two hundred Negro high schools and colleges were visited, he reached the conclusion that more vocational guidance was needed in our schools and colleges. He said that out of 1,829 boys in high schools, that he studied, not one had ever read a book on vocational guidance. Mr. Bullock said that only a small percentage of Negro schools and colleges were unable any attempt at vocational Miss Julia Skinner, of the faculty of Wilberforce university, said that there were no Negro colleges that had vocational guidance for girls. ALUMNI. Speaking on the relation of alumni to school, Emory Smith, field secretary of Howard University, said that alumni organizations are recent movements in Negro colleges.

FRANKFURT, GER., (ANP)—"The Struggle of Negro for Freedom" was described by William Pickens, field secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., here Thursday before the World Congi. In discussing the conditions faced by Negroes in America, wi. Pickens outlined the progress the race has made and the handicaps resulting from race prejudice the, white man inconsistency, and the various forms of discrimination and much violence. Since arriving in Europe, Mr. Pickens has made several addresses of the same subject, delivering one in German.

(CNS)— That Negro periodicals, which came into existence a hundred years ago with a simple folio, have fully established themselves permanently in American journalism is shown in the number of recent innovations noted in the Fourth Estate throughout the country. The first Negro newspaper, "Freedon's Journal" was published in New York City, March 30, 1827. It was a folded sheet of four pages. Their several journals print twenty-four pages with editorial, feature, pictorial, magazine and photogravure sections. FOUR HUNDRED JOURNALS. In 1825 there were more than four hundred periodicals published by Negroes in the United States. Of these over two hundred were weekly newspapers which appeared regularly each week, several of which own and operate their buildings and newspaper plants and are able to control their entire outfits. One of the noticeable features of this field of activity is the position which the community of the province have taken in the industry, several owners and publishing weeklies, while others serve as editors, managers, directors, reporters, and in almost all capacities connected with the publication of newspapers. THREE GENERATIONS. Several papers have attracted trained members of the second and even third generation, who are fostering the work started by their parents, with glowing success. Notable examples are the AFAP, the University of London in 1896 by J. H. Murphy, sr., now edited by Carl Murphy, president, and D. Arnett Murphy, treasurer. The Philadelphia Tribune, edited by Chris J. Perry, sr., in 1884, now managed by his two daughters, Mrs. Bertha Rhodes acting as managing editor; the Norfolk Journal and Guide of which P. Young, in 1895, was now edited with the assistance of P. Bernard Young, jr.; the New York Age, founded and published by T. Thomas Fortune, is A LONDON, England—They look like voodoo men, but they are actually boy scouts.

STRANGE RUMOR Newest Bleach Changes Skin Overnight. BERLIN, Germany.—Tanned faces and bodies are a greater fad in Europe than ever, this year, especially in England and Germany. In England there is what is known as a Bronze Brigade, and its highest members are those who can exhibit the darkest skins. Lost year a French newspaper offered a prize for the one who could show the darkest complexion, (artificial, of course) and a young woman who was burnt as black as an Oklahomaan indian won first prize. Black. but Comely The fad has taken so strong a bite that the London Dally Mirror NYM: "Poets will have to reverse their similes in writing of women. Marble brow, snowy shoulders, milk-white arms are no longer good. Holidays in Africa or where the sun burns brownest are sought. Very soon a mere tan color will seem tame. The ideal will be that of the Song of Solomon, 'Black but comely.' At almost any American bathing beach the same thing may be seen. The woman take great care, seeing just how no colored people they can become and the proudest are the darkest. Social Equality Now this looks like a plain case of seeking social equality and the colored brother might throw back the same arguments that his formerly white brother threw at him. It will also be splendid ammunition for our multitudinous manufacturers of instantaneous skin bleachers and kink-nomo's. For the straight-haired sister, too, in addition to browning her skin, is on Oxford street, London, we once ard on charges brought against him saw a "hairdresser's sign, "Straight hair is a nuisance." Mulattoes Verily, our colored ladies who have so much trouble with hot combs, will think that it must have been a madman who caused that sign to be written. Someone speaking of marriage competed with a besieged town; those were in wanted to get out and those were out wanted to get in. The same may be said of this color and hair proposition. Well, nature is going to try to please all by making mulattoes, and then what? And this recalls what may be considered a starling and indeed revolutionary bit of news. It came from a correspondent, a white engineer in New York. From the tone of his letter, there need be no doubt of its truth. This thing will do more to solve the so-called race question than all religion, A.A.A. race question, and all religion, A.A.A. societies put together. If true, there are some who will be multi-millionaires over night. Indeed the changes and the posi- tion of the link reach- link that they are inestimable. German Chemical The report is that a German scientist has discovered a chemical that will turn the blackest man white almost overnight. It is harmless and all one has to do is to swallow a few doses and presto! he'll be a white man. As to hair, the hair-straighteners will do the rest. The nose and the lips won't matter for many white people are indistinguishable from colored. The engineer says further, and there is a note of resentment in his letter, that a white southern firm has bought up the patent. He thinks that this firm's intention is to keep from the colored people. But even foreigners know the white southern brother better than that. If it's a fact, it will soon be on the market. The possibilities are endless. Think what will happen if the colored brother takes to it and he will take to it as a cat to cream. Cole Blease For instance, if there are no more Negroes, Cole Blease in the Senate, will be as dumb as a door-knob. He will have nothing to talk about, and with no use to try to have a jim-crow car law in Washington, D.C., he will be about as useful as an oil or parings of a finger-nail or a bunion. All his rosette glory will be departed and the sole thirst left for Congress will be to send him as a living specimen. The museum is Henry Ford's Museum of Antiques in Detroit along with the cigar store Indian. Marcus Garvey On the other side, our friend, Marcus Garvey, will be shorn of his flowering oratory as effectively as a wet drum of its booming and alike the music of John Cole Blease, John Powell, Cox and Heflin. With no more Negroes, what also will our race uplifters, black as well as white do? No more collectors of race data, no more exploiters of *N* Negroes, no more shaking down of white philanthropists for money to build separate schools, churches and Y.M.C.A.'s. Meal Tickets Gone Negro writers and journalists will find themselves like Othello, with their meal-tickets gone. Personally, I know what I shall do in that case. I shall invent a chemical that will turn original white people black in a surer and quicker way than the sun. Schuyler's Prophecy Some years ago, George S. Schuyler discussed with me a book he was writing in which a German scientist discovered a way to turn white people black and its economic effect on those persons, black and white, who lived on the race ques- (Continued on page seven) The Home Journal made its initial bow in Detroit, June 10, but its publication has been temporarily suspended while Fred Kendrick, publishers, are in litigation.

Real Republicans Are Hard to Find, Says Ferris Author Advises Race Voters to Disregard Parties and Vote Only for Men—Democrats, Republicans or Socialists Who Will Give a Square Deal in Appointments to Office. LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The Republican party has undergone such a change since Lincoln and Grant that if these stalwarts were to return today like Diogenes the Greek they would still sit a lantern and walk about the streets looking for a "real Republican." From 1868 to 1877, the Negro under the Republican Aegis, reached the high-water of his prosperity. He went to State legislatures in Massachusetts and Ohio, and from the South, to Congress and the Senate. He served as Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Superintendent of Education, Postmaster, Collector of Customs, and Collector of Internal Revenue in the South. as Secretary of State of Columbia. Resident of the Treasurer, U.S. Minister to Haiti, Commissioner to Santa Domingue, etc. But when Rutherford B. Hayes withdrew the Federal troops in 1877, the G.O.P. more and more left the colored brother to shift for himself. The Republican leaders gave Negroes local jobs as cuspidor washers, broom and mop artists and elevator manipulators in the North, a few Federal jobs in the South, and a few diplomatic appointments. A few far-sighted colored men found themselves slimming backwards. The Bolt to Tammany Then, fifty years ago, George T. Downing of Newport, R.I., E. G. Walker of Boston, attorney, and others broke from the Republican forces Governor Ben Butler, a Democratic governor, appointed George Ruffin, a colored Republican lawyer, Municipal Judge in Charleston, Mass. Republicans to counteract this, elected Rev. Mr. Van Hercne of Newport, R.I., member of the Board of Education, appointed Dr. M. Jackson of New Haven, Conn., consul to St. Ethelene, France, and appointed Richard T. Greener, secretary of the Grant Memorial Fund. The Republicans in New York City in 1896 told James D. Carr, a graduate of Rutgers College and Columbia University law school, that the time was not ripe to appoint a colored man as Assistant District Attorney. He allied himself with Tammany Hall, which appointed him Assistant District Attorney and later Assistant Corporation Counsel. Tammany Hall caused Cornelius Malgal to be appointed Assistant States Attorney. Tammany Hall kept feeding the Negro plums, until five or six years ago, Mayor Hylan appointed Ferdinand Q. Morton as Civil Service Commissioner at a salary of $80,000. The best Republicans could do was to invite the Negro to a seat at the pie counter, to elevate Charles W. Anderson, and to endorse a Negro candidate for Congress. Democrati in Charge It wasn't until Governor Dunne, a Democratic Governor of Illinois, began to hand the colored Democrats political plums some fifteen years ago, and Carter Harrison, a Democratic mayor, appointed Negro policemen that the Republicans endorsed colored men for the position of alderman and congressman and appointed them as Assistant Corporation counsels and Civil Service commissioners. Vote for Men What must the colored voter do? He should place in office those men who have given him a fair break and square deal in the past, regardless as to whether they are regular Republicans, Independent Republicans, Socialists, Independent Democrats or regular Democrats. Don't look at the label on the man. But look at the man himself. Don't consider what the man calls himself. Consider what he really is. Astute Politician There are scores of astute politicians, masquerading as Republicans, using the party name, party traditions, party slogans, party symbols, party emblems and party standards to perpetuate themselves in office, who couldn't tell where and when the Republican party was founded, under what circumstances it was founded, and who were the founders. The thing for the colored voters to do is to put the pseudo Republicans on the toboggan slide and place in office the men who perpetuate the spirit, which made the G.O.P. great in the past.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER Whenever a white man wants to get in the limelight, as a rule he finds the quickest way to do it is to say something abusive about the New Yorker. Whenever a colored man wants the spotlight to be shown on him by the colored press, he abuses Booker T. Washington. Garvey Magic A legendary hero of ancient times stamped his foot and an armed host sprang from the soil to Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa, commander-in-chief of the Black Star Steamship Line, and secretary-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, waved his hand and twelve thousand delegates from all parts of the world followed him through the streets of Kingston, Jamaica. British West Indies, in a police investigation, found him in color, if not in numbers, of the monster Garvey pagements in New York. Participants in the parade carried flags of all nations; there were uniformed bands, uniformed ranks of Garvey legions, engineer corps, Black Cross nurses and boy scouts. Leading the marchers, in naval uniform, was the man Garvey, whom Bishop Reverend C. Ransom has termed the "revered prophet who has appeared among the States, the Garvey organization was sued so often for debt that no track can be kept of the court procedures. Garvey has been pursued by his first wife, who claims he was not properly divorced. Garvey headquarters in New York has become the site of an Elk hall. Garvey, imprisoned five years for using the U. sails to defraud, was deported in disgrace. He was reported as penniless and a prisoner in Jamaica, but soon thereafter, he toured England Returning to Jamaica, he called together his followers from the four corners of the earth to dream with him and plan for political and social freedom for the Negro, establishment of a universal social code, formation of a chain of Negro daily papers, paper on paper in the city of Kingston, 600,000 years, opening of Negro defense headquarters in the large cities of the world, organization of a new steamship line, formulation of plans for a Negro religion and a Negro church, and the appointment of a commission to the League of Nations. Garvey clapped his hands and twelve thousand and followers shook the earth as they marched through the streets of Jamaica, a magic in the name of Garvey. A Second Congressman Emulating the example of Chicago, New York City Republicans last week agreed upon Mr. Hubert E. Delany, assistant U. S. attorney, as candidate for Congress from the twenty-first district. This district includes that part of New York county bounded by 125th street, Hudson river, Duyvil creek, Harlem river, 61th avenue and 51st street, New York City, with a population of 317,803, nearly evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, colored and white. For the past seven years, this district, has been represented in Congress by Mr. Royal H. Weller, a white, a Democrat who recently died. Lining up for the 1930 campaign, twenty-first district Republicans have the job of carrying a Democratic stronghold and of healing a breach which threatens to disrupt their own ranks. At a lively district meeting, Mr. Fred R. Moore, alderman from the nineteenth aldermanic district, lost the designation to Mr. George W. Harris. Both are newspaper publishers. Mr. Abraham Grenthal, white, assemblyman from the same district, won over Mr. Fred R. Harris, queen plaintiff. The election was so close that Messrs. Moore and Rivers, both claim fraud, and threaten to take their contest to the courts and to the primary. In the last Congressional election, the deceased Weller was opposed by Mr. E. A. Johnson, whose friends think Republican leaders should have nominated him instead of Mr. Delany for the race again this year. If Mr. Delany can bring peace between Harris and a candidate, Johnson will secure the support of the dissatisfied Johnson adherents, he stands a chance to win. If not, Mr. Oscar DePriest will hold forth alone in the next Congress. Slavery in Liberia President C. D. B. King, of Liberia, announced his intention to appoint an international commission to investigate charges of slavery in Liberia. The President's announcement is a reply to charges of Mr. T. J. R. Faulkner, made exclusively in these columns several weeks ago. Mr. Faulkner said: "Traffic in forced labor, announcing virtually to slavery, exists in Liberia." Those included to take Mr. Faulkner's allegations with a grain of salt, because Mr. King defeated him for the presidency in the last election, might do well to note the following: The Temporary Slavery Commission of the League of Nations presented a written report on slavery in Liberia in 1826. James L. Sibley, white of the American Advisory Committee on Education, said: "Society in Liberia is divided into free persons, serfs, and slaves." Mr. Sibley, who died last month, was lauded by President King as "friend of the republic" and Sibley said there are slaves in Liberia. Mr. Raymond Lesell Buell, Harvard professor, in his new book on Liberia, describes the forced labor situation and Mr. Faulkner in his charges had been unable to say that Mr. Buell's statement is correct. It's strange that Liberia, founded as an asylum for slaves freed from their chains in America, should permit the nefarious system to continue, even though the League of Nations' report shows slavery exists also in Abyssinia, Algeria, the Philippines, Krua, Rio de Ora, East Sahara, China, West Sahara, British, French and Italian Somaliia the Sudan and Tripoli. In none of these countries is it as indefensible as Faulkner, Sibley, Buell and the League of Nations say there is slavery in Liberia. President King is outvoted four to one in his denial. The Thomas Case Owen Thomas, laborer, aged 48, is in Baltimore City jail charged with "marrying" his own daughter, an offense as old as Leviticus XU11, 8:18 We think of crime very often as coupled with violence, and dirt We think of crime very often as coupled with ignorance, poverty, and dirt.

He is a member of a dignified local church. His home is on a paved thoroughfare in an excellent neighbor- However, his daughter confessed that she had been "wife" to her father for nearly three years, and has borne him two children. His excuse may be that he saw in her the "living, moving image of his dead wife," which will explain his offense but not conden it. The celebrated Snook's case shows that education does not absolutely prevent crime. Snooks is a university professor. Harry Sinclair, one of America's rich men, is in jail in connection with oil fraud cases. Wealth does not prevent crime. Ordeal like disease. It attacks humanity despite riches, rank, age or education. The only effective serum known today is a conscience eternally on guard and a will strong enough to turn its back upon temptation.

Dear sir, if the world were in the same flesh as they were at that time, it would be all right for they knew no sin at that time, as soon as sin made its appearance, they became ashamed and tried to hide their shame by putting on fig leaves for aprons, which is telling all of us to put on something. If there were no sin here, it would be all right. Sin brings shame. Your answer is very weak. Tell them to hide their nudeness while sin is here. W. M. IVY.

I have been reading with keen interest the articles recently appearing in your paper anent the segregation of coloured passengers by the Nevin Bus Company. Although I have never had occasion to use a bus belonging to this company due to the lack of seats in the rear seats—and only in these seats on buses passing through here en route from New York to Philadelphia. I have heard many colored people who have patronized this line state that they were asked to take rear seats. Now just what are we going to do about public carriers in the north forcing segregation on colored patrons? is no one making an effort to stop Just as much as we take, the more we will be made and forced to take. If we raise no hand to fight such evils, I see nothing but disaster facing the colored man in America. Where is the N.A.A.C.P.? HENRY F. MILLER, M.D., 420 York-st., Burlington, N.J. Not "Anti-Airplane" Talks Will Get Our Folks Into the Air. To the Editor: I have read several articles in colored papers similar to the one written by Wm. N.

And what essential good would a record It seems like many people have gone wild over paper-made heroes. I am not anti-airplane, but if I were as interested as some of the city people, I would start all the time not the top. Why not send some boys to a good airplane school to learn the business from the ground up. Then back these boys in starting an airplane factory. But that takes money, and the people who work there know how granding their money where it will do the most good. I should have suggested paying $100,000 for some worn out white church or thousands of dollars for any kind of lodge, and we should all help them. You can't blame the other fellow for calling us shallow thinkers, with 88 per cent of our own people employed by the other fellow and the southern spikes spending thousands of dollars to starve the Negroes in the fields. Some of us still call for grandstanding. It's going to be interesting to some to see if the boasting spikes can starve our people back in the five years they have allotted for the new aim.

SMITH. Ham's Frozen Religion Needs to Be Thrown Into the Discard To the Editor: Ham is of the many appetizing dishes handed to New York City, but the sermon preached a few Sundays ago by the Rev. Ham, a visiting white preacher from Georgia, to a white congregation, was not very appetizing to blacks. Nays the Rev. Ham: "The logic of social equality is inter-marriage of the races. The result would be in direct opposition to the plain teachings of the word of God." He shook to Negro Christians, but not so with me, who takes whatever these gentlemen of the cloth say, with a grain of salt. It is my contention that the Negro must throw in the discard the frozen religion of the white man, it's a menace to the progress of the group. 2137 Madison Ave, New York City DWARD BYAN This will come as a shock to Negro Christians, but not so with me, who takes whatever these people say.

White-Colored People With Kinky Hair. Going up thirty miles along the valley of the Kat River, the home of the Hottentots, we find many remnants of this ancestral people who in appearance as they were cross-breeds between Bushmen pymes and the aboriginal Africans because their hair is woolly showing that they are in diagonal but the complexion is cream, characterised by an almost velvet smoothness. They speak Afrikaans with pleasure, most emphatically and are noted for their knowledge of herbal medicine. As a race they are weak in those qualities that should well understand the invasion of European civilisation, and are a ready prey to alcoholic drinks. for the haskook dances. As the train, leaving Fort Beaufort, laboriously climbs the steep hills, our attention is arrested by shouts from dozens of men bawling out at the thunder of their voices: "Poss! Posa! Poss! Posa! Throw! Throw, Sir!), begging for waste scrapes of bread-crusts, meat and fruit usually thrown to them by sympathetic passengers and dining saloon chefs. These kids are Nature's children leading an open-air life with absolutely nothing on their bodies.

For this carousel, the women carry earthenware pitchers balanced on their heads with unerring equilibrium, a habit producing exquisitely erect figures that would easily challenge Bond Street mannequins.

He dug a hole two feet long in the ground, an inch square in size with a bowl in the middle, into which he poured water, the dagga tobacco being at the one extreme, while the other extrema was his mouth, his mouth of water, inducing the most excruciating fits of coughing I ever remember. He would then fall into a stupor for the night, being as delirious as a drunken man. This, like opium eating, is a degrading and criminal recreation right suppressed by law. This man, on being presented with a cigar, preferred to smoke it with the lighted end inside his mouth so as to lose none of its sedative strength!

But sheer necessity required my friend to accept a place in the unclassified service of the interior department." A Politician I Once Knew. BY KELLY MILLER. I first met him during his college days. In those days Negro collegians had high aspirations and the mind. The impulse of the reconstruction regime had not yet fully spent its force. Political hopes and expectations, his own my friend had one assuming ambition—to function in high public life. Political Ambition. He was graduated on a day, and revealed in the pumpos glory of his baccalaureate but for a brief moment. Thereupon he secured a secured appointment as a public school teacher. But his time and energies were about evenly divided between pedagogy and politics. A national campaign for a white politician had gained great eminence and renown throughout his own state and had attracted not a little national attention. He had a strong interest in inventor-collector of his state—a state whose production of wet goodness yielded large national revenue. My friend was eloquence personified. He could say nothing more lowly than what he has to say. He could stand on a hillside and lash the listening mob into fury by his resonant declaration about Lincoln, Grant and Summer. He recited about the majesty of the Grand Old Party and the glory of the Red, White and Blue Naturally enough, this eloquent young pedagogy soon attracted the attention of the political establishment, his claim to his political machine. He stumped the state from end to end. The people heard him, not only gladly but rapturously. White and black alike fell under the spell of his eloquent charm. As a result of that campaign, the Republican party swept the nation, and the Republican man was elected in the Senate from that state. The Recompense. Now for the recompense. It is a part of the political cunning of every white boss with a Negro henchman to encourage all of his men Fridays to vote for the treasury deeds, register of the treasury or minister to Hafti. They calculate beforehand that there will be some dozen or so Negro candidates for each of these positions and will offload the others. And so my friend fell for the bait. It was during the first term of the administration of William McKinley that the political ambitions of the country were tested. March fourth, nineteen one, the city of Washington was crowded with expectant Negro politicians. They came from the South. They marched in the inauguration procession and with the usual Negro vanity, advertised their pompous presence. Twenty states had avowed and insisted on the Africanized positions aforementioned, all of whom were backed by the congressional delegates from their respective states. Soon, the reason of valiant service in the previous campaign. My friend decided upon the registration of the treasury as his well-earned reward for meritorious service. His time of the brittany of his selection. Resigned Teachership Thereupon he resigned his little teachership which after all was but a stepping stone to higher things, a stepping stone to a high capital pending the announcement of his appointment. His beseuch of his supporting senator became pestiferously persistent. He was repeatedly told he would send in his name, and that he must rest easy and possess his soul in patience. Very soon my friend had exhausted from school teaching and other miscellaneous sources. At first, he had indulged in the high life of Washington political society. He proclaimed that he had made a wide banquet in his honor. He soon found himself in the hands of money sharks, then known as the ten percenters. He only asked for a ten percent of his income could be consumed. But soon his credit was exhausted. He hung on from the fourth of March till the fourth of July with no fruition in the calculation of the limit of his financial duration, assured him that as soon as Congress assembled in December something would be sure to turn up, my friend held on, hoping against Although his shoes began to run down at the heels and his elbows threatened to push through, he still kept a stiff upper lip. I met him at the door and asked about his prospects for the registrar. He bolstered up his courage to respond that his appointment "would shortly be announced." But he had the precaution to declare that even though he failed to get the coveted place he had been assembling of something else equally as good. Minor Assignment. In the meantime, this particular senator and ten other senators with like Afro-American obligations and notices on their common predicament. Their sides cracked with laughter at the presumption of those impeccable Negro beggars aspiring to fill the vacant positions in the government. They all agreed to take them down a peep or two. "Go to," they agreed, "let's offer them some minor assignment more in the office and station, and watch the reaction." I do not know exactly how the other candidates fared. I heard that most of them returned home disheartened from the administration. All sorts of threats and political reprisals were hurled at the heads of the ungrateful powers, and the would have fought that the whole face in political revolt. But she更能 require my friend to accept a place in the unclassified service of the interior department. His unfortunate necessity yielded to stern economic necessity. On a day, I visited a particular government building, and spied my brother, a young man, the gister of the treasury, dusting the corridor. I suddenly turned down another aisle to keep from embarking on a journey to the scousal of my approach, he suddenly darted into the adjacent room to keep from embarrassing himself. Chips from the Quarry Tea Party Precedent. Since the Department of State found a number of precedents for Mrs. Hoover's invitation to Mrs. DePriest to the White House tea party, have been doing a large research my mind and find one that antedates them all. In fact, it is so early that it goes back to the time before we had in president George W. Bush the Continental Army, in the year 1775, was camped outside of Cambridge with the English army over the hill. In this early day, before the Declaration of Independence was written, Phyllis Wheatley, the slave poetess, wrote a poem about the general in which she referred to him as "first in peace, and honors." Wheatley was touched and wrote her back: Bob Quellen writing for Hearst, say "Some weeks ago two conventions assembled in South Carolina. Fiermer doughbys met in one town a Negro Elks, and the doughbys had their way, the local paper soiled them for opening containers of mollusk whiskey on the college cusp, drinking in the broad light, day and wrecking the furniture their hotel. "When the Negro Elks had got in their dignified and orderly duck, free from any suggestion, drunkenness," wrote a poem about the general in which she referred to him as "first in peace, and honors."

"When the Negro Elks had got in their dignified and orderly duck, free from any suggestion, drunkenness," wrote a poem about the general in which she referred to him as "first in peace, and honors." "I thank you most sincerely for your polite notice of me and the elegant lines you enclosed and, however undeserving I may panegyric the sheer importance of your professional inkwell of your political talents, in honor of which and as a tribute justly due you I would have published the poem had I not been apprehensive that you would not embrace the world this new instance of your genius, I might have incurred the imputation of vanity. "This and nothing else determined me not to give it place in public prints." Now comes the White House invitation. "If you ever come to Cambridge or near headquarters, I shall be happy to see a person so favored by the muses and to whom nature has been so beneficent in her dismissions." And now did the commander of the Revolutionary Armies sign himself, "George Washington, General," or use some other high-falcon' language. Indeed, not. Courted by himself. "I am, with great respect, your obedient, humble servant, George Washington." What would the crackers of 1789 have said if they could have seconded an invitation extended at ambride, and visited Washington and skived for tea? Troublesome Hearts "Heart Disease Found to Have Lead List of Causes of Death in Past year." (AFRO headline.) Yes, heart disease gets us one way or the other. If it isn't the cause of death, its the result. Absolute Segregation. Dr. M. Esselen, white, professor of Bantu Studies in the University of Stellenbosch, contends that for a white South Africa in the future, it must needs be a case of absolute segregation. Well, they had absolute segregation in the beginning, because nobody lived in South Africa but Negroes. They weren't satisfied with that, solute segregation that allows white folks to steal the land and dig the gold and diamonds. Ever since they have been there they have been mixing up the races so that only St. Peter up in Heaven can tell who is white and who is black, because absolute segregation down in South Africa would be to place all of the native women in a fort behind cannon and machine guns, with barbed-wire entanglements in front. So it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't have social equality after dark Placing a Park. Tampa, Florida, is having a hard time locating a city park for colored people because no site can be found acceptable to the whites. Wonder if anybody has consulted the colored people as to where they want it? Heywood Broun Talks In the July 17th issue of the Nation Keywood Brown refutes the argument of a white southerner that higher education is a "handcuff to the Negro by an effort that anvboid ought to see Dr. W. E. B. DuBois舞. An educated Negro, said the white southerner, must live in a strange and unhappy world of introspection. Our suggested answer would also allow his mind if he heard Howard Gross talk. Roy Bond laugh, and saw James F. Hall jump rope. Benno Kohn Finds Out. Benno Kohn, Jewish president of Hochschild, Kohn and Company, died in Baltimore, June 3rd, leaving a million dollar department store inserve colored people. From purgatory this week by this column is to famous because it has declined to the effect that Benno had a devil of a time getting himself outfitted down the Heaven own department store. He gave up the department, the floor-walker positively declined to try on him a pair of wings. They gave him two sizes too large in the sandal department and told him he would either have to wear them or neither. As hot as it was down there, they sold Benno red flannel underwear and expensive green woolen socks. He wanted them to be more than nothing doing. He kicked to the floor-walker, the superintendent, and the vice-president, but calmed down when he got up to the president's office where a sign outside the door said, "We don't serve Modern Pippa Passes. The sock at the ankle The dress at the knee The flapper sits down And her teddies we see. But are we embarrassed? Why, we give not a hoot, So the girls have invented The revealing "sun-suit." Yes. Why? One of our workers says (omitting the "strong" words): "I should not introduce any anti-lynching law nor seek for any modification of the Volsted Act (much as I desire both), but shall center my efforts on the most essential amendment if necessary) compiling paper makers to adopt not more than two sizes of writing paper, and the other — the largest being the regular letter size $8\frac{1}{2} \times 11$ inches. He also asks: "Why do typists use a printer? Why do printers print they must use larger sheets than they use for ordinary letters?" Wonder. How Come? "Did you ever notice that two blocks below here, on Eutaw street that that Needle the tailor has right the door to Mr. Pelts the furrier?" There Were No Flappers Then. Even history is influenced by the prevailing styles in clothes, for we were at Plymouth Rock, and at Plymouth Rock, though it was in the dead of winter, with a deep snow on the ground — they kneeed their knees — and then on the abbreviations. Bob Quillen writing for Hearst, says: "Some weeks ago two conventions for doughty dogs met in one town and Nero, Eks in another. "When the doughbys had gone their way, the local paper soaked them for opening containers of moshine shining with light, drinking within sight of the court house in the broad light of day and wrecking the furniture of their hotel. "When the Negro Elks had gone the local paper complimented them for their dignified and orderly conduct, free from any suggestion of drunkenness. "Why the difference? Isn't the answer?"

The Proofreader Talks Persons who desire to acquire or to retain a literary style that will meet the approval of the discriminating reader may express or use of words which, while more or less passable and common, are avoided by careful writers. The expressions are not always antiglossar nor grammatically wrong; often they can be classed as merely faulty. One of these expressions is the use of the word "if" for "whether" in such phrases as these: "I will come," "if I wonder he will come," or "I wonder he knows." Admittedly, there is some authority for this use. Some dictionaries give it a qualified approval. It should be borne in mind, however, that diccionaries often use it to indicate that they carry on their shelves (for those persons who desire them) many nostrums and conceptions that the druggists would hesitate to use in their own homes. Dissatisfying the matter, the latest edition of the Standard dictionary says, in part: "The use of if for whether is properly condemned, except in nocturnal and colloquial language. For the objection that the common word meaning precisely a certain thing, a word meaning precisely another thing should not be used for it without some special ground. So, when the proofreader meets this solemnism in matter already set in type, he is called upon to decide whether — considering all the circumstances including the sensibilities of a author — he shall ask for a change.

Announcement that the state department would probably join in an investigation asked by the Liberian government as a result of an FARO-AMERICAN recently, is interesting. Daily papers reported that a commission, including a man appointed by the state department, one by the Liberian government, one by the FARO-AMERICAN, would probably investigate the whole question of enforced labor in the republic, which has been denied by its president through Dr. Ezekiel E. Erickson. What happens in Liberia, what has happened in South Africa, is of profound importance not only to our cousins in that continent, but to darker races the world Down in South Africa, for instance, natives are being reduced to a condition of half human people and half animal, because of the ownership of their own lands. The ballot is being taken from them, not by subterfuge, but openly and with the consent of the colonial government. What therefore happens in this little republic—being as it is, an opening wedge for predatory interests—becomes vital to the fate of millions of natives. The Bohemians, the Irish, the Bohemians, and other nationals in this country have societies working for what they believe to be the best interests of their people in their mother country, because they pay little attention to what is going on in Liberia and Africa. Celebrating Our Many inquiries coming into the office of the AFRO-AMERICAN as to the part we are to take in the forthcoming celebration of the anniversary of Baltimore, caused this paper to ask some questions which brought out the interesting fact that up to Thursday of last week, except for the inclusion of some military and paramilitary organizations, nothing had been done to make 112,000 of its citizens know that they were to have a birthday. Were the city fathers getting ready for the city against some foe next September, there is little doubt that every abodeed race man in town would know every detail, and especially every place where he would be allowed to shed his blood in celebration which will bring into bold relief the patricians have taken in building one of America's great cities. No doubt there will be great paradox: important civic meetings and a panorama of growth and progress of Baltimore. ABOVE ALL A PATRIOTIC SPIRIT SHOULD BE STIRRED IN THE HEART OF EVERY SOUTH AFRICA GROUP BE MADE TO FEEL THAT THEY NOT ONLY OWE THE BEST THEY HAVE TO THEIR CITY, BUT THAT THE CITY IS GIVING THE BEST IT HAS TO THEM. It is made by Chairman Wilcox of the executive committee is taken on its face value, we have our own selves to blame, if we do not see to it that the group is ably represented in all phases of our work, we can kindly suggest to Mr. Joseph P. Evans, race member of the committee, that he get busy with some kind of definite organization that will make a better showing than now seems likely, have within the group experts in organization; we have Morgan college, our public school system, and we have artists, to draw upon for help he needs. We have one hundred years before the last such chance comes; we should get busy. Out in Gastonia. The picture of more than a hundred white mothers and children in rags, hungry almost to starvation, and sorrow almost to stagnation, won't make much of a dent in prosperous America. But down in Gastonia where organizers told a camp of cotton mill strikers that they could no longer furnish them rations and the would be able to do that as best they could, there is a tragic picture which ought to bring serious thinking to workers of all races. From their swivel chairs in the big mill offices, no doubt, mid executives will meditate that they have been able to thus reduce rebellious workers to such want and misery. And good religious citizens will meditate on the uselessness of strikes and such a struggle as these workers made to better their wage and living con- Perhaps, some of the white mill hands themselves will ponder over another "lost cause"; but those who have followed the course of the small group of men and women who suffer hunger and misery as a result of that strike are but, meeting the fate of all soldiers who go down in the front line. The welcome of the mill strike will give the grim-faced white workers something to think about. One thing in particular, it make them understand they are not the only labor fight in the South without the help and co-operation of Negro workers. They will know that the same machine guns the same state taxation would guard against, that guarded white strike breakers would guard colored strike breakers, and that THESE COLORED STRIKE BREAKERS BARRED FROM THE UNIONS, WOULD HAVE HAVEN'T BEEN BEING IN NATURAL SELF DEFENSE, TO TAKE THE JOBS. But both Nrogo and white workers should know that this kind of work is necessary. Their interests lie in working out their programs together, and it will be unfortunate that they do not do it during this interim before the next struggle, will display the same narrow shortsightedness as in the past and keep race workers out of their orizations.

CHICAGO—Buck and Bubbles, nationally known comedy team, were taken off the bill of the Palace Theatre, last week and deposited in jail on a contempt or court order issued by Judge Lyle. The actors' difficulties seem to have grown out of legal tangles with the police, white, their manager and because of false statements they are alleged to have made in court a year ago when Judge Lyle, a suspended sentence of six months, was jailed and said to have jumped town and were not apprehended until their recent return here.

"TALKIES" EXPENSIVE Installation Costs from $750 to $15,000. The future of the talks in the moving picture theater is uncertain due to Raymond H. Murray owner and manager of the Dunbun theatre, Seventh and T streets Washington, D.C., who was a visitor in Baltimore, Thursday. Mr. Murray celebrates 20 years in the moving picture game this fall. At one time in Washington there were as many as 15 race moving property managers and proprietors. The number has grown to Mr. Mur- "I frequently see in the AFRO. Mr. Murray said, "that some theater was installed a movietone or a vip phone. That is in incorrect state." "Vilaphone is the trade name for the combination of Warner Brothers and First National. Moviotech is a trade name of the Power photophone and name of the photophone of America and the Radio Keith-Gruheum. "Warner and First National make pictures and at the same time record on disc records similar to the ordinary phonograph companies. "Fox and R.C.A. record the sound in the film, itself. The thickness of the film passes through the thin part of the film gives a loud noise and light passing through a thick part of the film gives a softer sound. 60 Talkie Machines "There are some machines included in the film, including Electric Royal Ampli-ment, and Melio-tone which make devices for the sound pictures, so that a theater installs, for example, a Western Electric System, and when the film is played. "The Vilaphone has its drawbacks because the sound is recorded on a 16 inch wax record accompanying 1,000 feet of reel. The same motor runs both. If for any reason the reel of the system is a black box, it must be inserted so that the rest of the film will be synchronized." The ordinary Western Electric system costs $7,000. Mr. Murray said. Other system costs from $75 to $15. Cost a Third More A talkie film costs one-third more than silent pictures. By the time the cost of the record and service on the machines is added and an additional operator is added no theatre with less than 1.000 seats can afford talking pictures, he declared. Only 3,500 of the 20,000 theaters in the United States have "talkies." Mr. Murray declared that he would do the gross business. Mr. Murray originally ran a string of theaters in Washington, but he now limits himself to the Dunbar. Four Horsemen The most popular picture he ever ran was "The Four Horsemen," at the Howard, where 14,000 persons attended. The Dunbar Theater, the most popular picture he ever ran was the "Miracle Man." NEW YORK.—The Siren of the Tropics," the seven-reel photoplay starring Josephine Baker, will be released simultaneously to race and white movie houses, it was announced this week. The film is released it will be synchronized with an original musical score by Joe Jordan, pianist and composer, who has won recognition here and abroad for his music. According to present plans a group of seven musicians will score and broadcast on the Negro Achievement Hour of Station WABC in this city.

Two Promising Soloists. Miss Maud Burke. A. Jack Thomas. By LLEWELLYN WILSON Here in Baltimore, organizations of male singers come and go, but the tradition of one William U. Hackett, goes on, seemingly like a certain brook of literary fame, forever; and what is most group apparently improves age. This, of course, follows the natural order of musical organizations, the longer a group of singers work together the better should be the results of their efforts. But here in Baltimore, where musical groups spring up over night and after supper on the bus, the perennial success of Mr. Hackett's singers at once becomes noteworthy. There are, of course, reasons for the long continued usefulness of the Peerless Glee Club. To begin with, the club has a varied musical experience, who has devoted a major portion of his life to the development of music of the better sort. A program presented by the Peerless Glee Club includes several members which appeal to music-lover and musician alike. Mr. Hackett is meticulous in the selection of his repertoire, and he insists upon a long period of painstaking preparation for the club. Again, the personnel of the Peerless Glee Club is made up of men who have remained loyal to their organization and to their leader. The atest achievement stakes the greatest technical success the excellent program recently broadcast from Station WCBM, located here in Ballimore. The chorus was well balanced, the tone was somorous, and the enunciation was excellent. The appealing was the work of the basses. Except for a strident tone now and then among the tenors, the half hour program presented by the Peerless Glees Club did much to make an extremely sultry August Sunday afternoon less oppressive. Two Promising Soloists. Charles E. Bush and Alexander Freeman, both members of the splendid quartet choir of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, and both pupils of Mrs. Ruth Lee McAbbe, are fast developing into very esteemed young musicians have appeared locally at many of the churches as soloists. Much to their credit it can be truthfully said that in addition to being able to sing public, they are willing. They furnish a strong contrast to the would-be singers who, without preparation or provocation, forcibly obtrude themselves upon defenseless members of long-suffering congregations and upon patient and unsuspecting concert-goers. The appearance of either or both of these progressive vocalists at the church service or in concert, assures a listener a moment of real pleasure. Miss Maud Burke. The Morgan college summer session, which has just closed, in addition, to presenting an excellent opportunity for self-improvement, to participate in a spiritually, for progressive ministers and local teachers, has given many opportunities to hear and enjoy some high-class musical programs at the several morning assays. The musicians have made contributions to these programs during the six-week term just ended. During the closing week, Miss Maud L. Burke, of Washington, D.C., sang very beautifully, "The Answer," a song from the 1980s edition," by William, Arms Fisher. These two numbers are striking contrasts in mood and in color and require much vocal control and musicianship in order to bring to one's audition the ability and satisfaction of interpretation. Miss Burke's singing at once revealed her to be a sincere singer, with a splendid voice enrolment, to which she has added thorough training and a unique necessary to make her singing meaningful and enjoyable. Miss Church Folk Enjoy Day at Wonderland A parade including eight large motor buses and a long line of private cars opened the celebration of the first annual A.M.E. Founder's Day at Wonderland Park, here Monday. The procession, headed by a corp of motorcycle policemen, left the Bethel A.M.E. Church at 10 a.m. and carried ugly crows to the city and nearby A.M.E. churches as well as representatives of other denominations, to the park, where they spent an enjoyable day. Prominent in the procession was Bishop Gaines and Davs, who spoke at the 3 p.m. program. Bishop Hurst discussed, "The Church of Yesterday"; Bishop Davis, "The Church of Today"; and Bishop Gaines added on "The Church of Yesterday." Two addresses, "The Attitude of the Church Towards Its Youth," by Professor John W. Woodhouse, and the Church "by Professor Elmer Henderson, were delivered at the evening program. Music was was used in the choirs and the Municipal Band, under the direction of Professor Charles T. Harris. Timm Brimm to Lead Band at Elks' Convention ATLANTIC CITY N. J.-Lieut. J.

Rutledge, singing and talking comedian and trap drummer, who for 11 seasons has been with the Dyer Minstrels, writes his show with the Lumberdale, Md., is meeting with great success. Friends desiring to write him may do so in care of the AFRO-AMERICAN. Burke was enthusiastically applauded by the assembly. A. Jack Thomas. A. Jack Thomas is again at work with several fraternal bands which bid fair to become organizations which will fill a much needed place in our more than one occasion, proved more than one occasion, proved as a capable and gifted band leader and a versatile musician. Mr. Thomas, like many other musicians, at various times, has incurred the wrath and empathy of many of us. But what does that matter? Why should real red-blooded men go on holding "grudges" forever? Perhaps "Jack" has made some mistakes—but that is true of all of us. I only know of them and He died for all the rest of us. If music is to go forward in Baltimore, and it surely will, we shall need the co-operation of every capable musician (and Mr. Thomas is a capable musician) who are big enough to afford opportunity for every real musician within its confines to live and to develop. Baltimore has declared against the charitable organizations with whom there are several running around loose, their punk activities are few and almost inappreciable. Men of A. Jack Thomas's attainments and capabilities are few and far between: therefore, the musicians of Baltimore should see to it that Mr. Thomas is not permanent lowed to fall by his weight. Local No. 1000 is much to help in the latter. Give A. Jack Thomas a fighting chance. The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly. HIGH SOCIETY you are struttin' pretty when you go this way and that to....

Heralded as one of the most unusual pictures of the year, "The Vallant," all-talking Fox special, comes to the Regent Theatre for the first three days of the week. Paul Muni, noted young star of the legitimate stage, together with Marguerite Churchill and John Mack Brown, heads the distinguished cast. Adapted from the play of Holotworthy finalist Jessica Cassius, "The Vallant" treats a son's love for his mother and his desire to protect her from disgrace even at the cost of his life. Many of the most gripping scenes in this powerful drama depict incidents occurring behind the guarded walls of a penitentiary on the eve of the electrocution of a confessed murderer, who is "The Vallant" of the story, despite his felon's doom. They are presented, through the Fox Movietone, with all the sounds and spoken words accompanying the action—the shuffling feet of hundreds of convicts, the clanging of barred doors, the sharp commands of the guards and the voiciferous outburst of protest from the prisoners that always accompanies an execution. "Thru Different Eyes" "Thru Different Eyes" is the title of the photoplay that will be shown Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The title is self-explanatory for the basic theme is the summary of a murder case as revealed through the eyes of a prosecutor, a defense lawyer and eventually a mysterious girl. Otherwise Stepin Fetchit, the movie star, will tell you that about the $5,000 he must pay Yvonne Butler, 17, as the result of the $100,000 breach of promise suit she filed against him in Los Angeles. Fetchit, who is a native of Florida, studied for the priesthood in Montgomery, Alabama. Doesn't his facial expression here have a sorn of ecclesiastical look? Mary Duncan and Warner Baxter The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 17, 1929 OLETSKY STILL HEAD OF ROYAL THEATRE Rumor of Change of Management Untrue, His Office Declares. THEATRE IS DARK Opening Sometime After Labor Day. The Royal Theatre remains dark this week, following its sudden closing. Despite a rumor going the rounds of local theatrical folk the剧院 will in all probability, continue to be operated by the Peter Oletsky interests, which ran the house from last October until last week. Rumors that black interests were to get away from allied differences between Mr. Oletsky and Dr. Elmer Porter of Pottstown, Pa., owner of the house, are said to have caused the Pennsylvania financier to ask for a change in management. Mr. Oletsky last week told the AFRO-AMERICAN that he would reopen the house on Labor Day. While the theatre officially closed with the Saturday night movie performance, a special vaudeville midnight ramble was held Sunday night. Monday, Dr. Porter was in town and it is understood he conferred with the Oletsky interests. Present plans call for the re-opening of the house Labor Day, following repairs and redecoration. It is present none of the house staff of the Oletsky interests are connected with the theatre, as Dr. Porter has installed M. Graham, of Pottown, as watchman. are co-featured with the supporting cast a formidable one, including Gavin Gordon, recent recruiting Bain Broadway legitimate stage; Natalie Moorehead, and her stage recruit; Donald Gallaler, Sylvia Sidney, and Florence Lake.

RACE ENTERTAINERS ENJOY GOOD SEASON RACE ENTERTAINERS ENJOY GOOD SEASON "Lucky" Roberts Sets Pace in Entertaining New York's "400" NEW YORK.—(ANP.)—The vogue for colored entertainers at New York's smartest parties continues. "Vogue," the fashionable magazine, says in its July 20 issue, speaking of a boating party given by the George Bakers (Mr.). Baker is president of the American Lucky Roberts and his colored musicians seem to be indispensable to hostesses this season." And later, describing another of the more exclusive affairs given by St. Christopher's Guild, this publication, the criterion of the elite, said: "Dinner was served by Sherry at small tables on the lower deck, while the immitable Lucky Roberts and his dark faced brethren players, were the young nephew, 'Bunny', a diminutive black child about two feet high, did an agile tap dance. There was a shower of nickles, dimes and quarters, but 'Bunny' paid scant dance, dancing back to his uncle, with rolling eyes until dollar bills began to futter. What Lucky Roberts, who long has been the purveyor of entertainment for the most ritzy folks in town, is doing is being done, with rolling eyes on the bands and orchestras of the town. There is not perhaps the organization and solidity there is needed to hold the advantage gained, but right now colored entertainers are doing well. BOJANGLES REVELS NEW YORK. — Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, late of Lefew Leslie's "Blackbirds" made his bow at the Lafayette this week, when he presented "Bojangles" Revue.

THEATRE TO REVIVE STAGE SHOW POLICY THEATRE TO REVIVE STAGE SHOW POLICY Big Avenue House to be Renovated and Redecorated by Labor Day. TO KEEP TALKIES Musical Revues Will Again Grace Stage. The Royal Theatre, 1329 Pennsylvania avenue, closed its doors Saturday night, and will re-open Labor Day. The theatre, operated by the Peter Oletsky interests, is owned by Dr. Elmer Porter, white, of Pottsstown, Pa., and since its construction eight years ago, has passed seven times into the hands of groups. It is understood that the house is to be re-decorated and renovated before it is opened to the public again. At one time it was said that Morris Flacks, operator of the Lincoln and Roosevelt theatres, was being considered as the next operator of the big house, but this was not verified. The Royal opened last October, following several months of darkness, after the A. E. Lichtern had been billed, seizing out with his generous Major as manager, the theatre presented a program of photoplays and stage shows. The theatre closed June 3rd, in order to have the apparatus for sound pictures installed, re-opening June 17th, with Greston Wouginst as manager. Closing of the house at this time comes as a surprise to many patrons. According to Mr. Oletsky, the house, upon its re-opening, will revert to its old policy of having stage shows, but the talking pictures will be retained.

THE ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION The Nation's Biggest All Negro-Weekly. PRIDE OF BALTIMORE ELKS TO HOLD FIELD DAY AND ANNIVERSARY WEEK Women Not Suited to Stand Results of Nicotine Habit Caused by Smoking. PLAN 1000 MEETINGS Cities All Over Country to Cooperate September 22. By PEGG privately, & correspondent Philadelphia I have interesting talk with Mrs. Sullie. W. Stewart as she enjoyed breakfast with her hostess Mrs. Charlotte B. Smith, West Philadelphia Club Women, and the younger women Club Women, and after lunch addressed at the Allen M.E. Church of the National Association of Colored Women, of which organization she is president. At the church on Thursday evening a large audience, Mrs. Stewart had presented the current program of the N.A.C.W. which is one involving and soliciting national co-operation—"A Community Beautiful" call to action. Mrs. Stewart direct appeal to the mothers of the race all over the country. Cigarette an Evil And it was during her talk that she not only upheld, but educated "herovorship" and denounced the cigarette ever. It happens, that some women holding positions similar to that of Mrs. Stewart who was a teacher in Indianapolis High School, and has been a teacher for the past 27 years, are at decided variance on this point—some western boarding schools and colleges have smoking laws for the girl students. In referring to her announcement of the evening before, "I do object to girls smoking which I see should be prohibited." Mrs. Stewart stated that women are not organically constructed to withstand the devastating effects of nicotine. And to start it means too soon to make it a habit, she would need less easy to break than some others. Is Charity Worker Mrs. Stewart seems genuinely interested in her work and does cut her hair. For years she and her husband worked together, and it was agreed between them that should he die first, then a large portion of the returns be paid to charity. He has been ill for the past three years, and his lifepartner and "pal" (She called herself that), has been carrying on their work. Connecticut and Buffalo. N.Y. will wind up Mrs. Stewart's speaking tour in this section of the country. She will then be awaiting favorable returns following this to 1,000 mass meetings to be held all over the country on September 22.

Black Bandits Turn Out to be White Police Rub Faces of Stain Criminals and Reveal White Streak KANSAS CITY, MO—When police wiped the face of one of the supposed Negro bandits slain after the robbing of two filling stations here last week a white streak appeared down the side of his face, disclosing a white man, according to an eye-witness. The bandits, said to have held up a filling station early Friday night, had been traced to a neighborhood in Friarville streets, where the police later found them barricaded beneath some steps. Re-inforcements were sent from the police station and riots guns literally torched, which gathered about the slain men were several colored persons who say that when it was found that the men were blackened up on their faces, arms, and legs, they were left away, and no mention of the black-face make-up made. Sees More Jim-Crow if Tennesseeean Is Named on Committee. Perry Howard Expects to Stand Pat. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Two things certain to happen when the Republican National Committee meets here September 9, are that Robert R. Church of Memphis, will oppose the selection of Claudius H. Huston as chairman and that Perry W. Howard will not resign from that body, it was learned here this week. The opposition of Robert I. Church to Huston is significant in that both of them are Tennesseeans and that on the outcom. of the fight perhaps rests the future of "Fighting Bob" the councils of the party in that state. Lily White Issue Church's opposition to Huston may rest on deep seated local ambitions in the Tennessee organization or it might rest on the fact that he gives that Huston is an awowed exponent of the program to make the South illywhite and eliminate Negro leadership in G.O.P. Counsel, which he has done on the National Committee representing the State of Tennessee. The fact that he is openly opposed to the Hoover choice leaves little doubt that he is now fighting with his back. He is also elected chairman of the committee, September 9, his ambition will be blocked, if Huston can block it. With Church in this fight will be also the "Big Pour," for it is said by that the election of the Tennessee would mean the full carrying out of the Hoover program of relegating the race leaders to the South to effort to keep the Solid South broken. One Member The only member of the race on the committee now is Perry W. Howe, who said that he would resign. He has given no such assurance openly and says, he "is still in politics". He answered that two Mississippi jurors accused Howey by administration leaders. Those who understand conditions in the court of the three leaders there would rather see Howard retain his place on the committee than have a white man take it, and have Democratic help if he stands pat. Color Line Two weeks ago news coming out of Washington and probably inspired, declared that Huston had a favorable attitude towards race leader Christ and his associates described this and declared that he is an avowed lily-white. FRANCIS' CASKET IS OPENED AT ST. PAUL Thousands View Remains of Minister Who Died Abroad Month Ago ST. PAUL, MINN., (A.N.P.)—Halal tribute was paid to the memory of W. T. Francis. The minister who passed away a month ago at his post of duty, here Sunday when funeral services were held from the Pilgrim Baptist Church of which the deceased's name was recorded, the body was entrained for Nashville, Tennessee, the home of Mrs. Francis, where it interred. The funeral services were held here because Francis thought that the Minister belonged to St. Paul, since he had spent his life here and this was the scene of his meteoric rise as an attorney and a diplomat. That she was the first woman in the large number of citizens who packed the Pilgrim Baptist Church to pay their respects to the adopted son of Minnesota, who had made such a person who had given his life in the service of his country. LOS ANGELES, CAL., (A.N.P.)—That the "Constitution forbids discrimination against any person because of racial differences," was the judgment handed down by Judge Elliot Crawford, a former chair of Miss Ehlert Prioleau vs. the City Park Board. The case, a test one, grew out of the barring of Miss Prioleau from the new "plunge" at Exposition Park and the local N.A.A.C.P. by the local N.A.A.C.P. against swimming pool discriminations. MAN NEARLY LYNCHED IS PROVED INNOCENT MEMPHIS. TENN.

They are interested in making their way in the world so they can later lay the expenses of love and give their I am the unhappiest girl in the world. I dearly love a young man whom I met in my high school days. He seemed to love me very much while we were together and still says that he loves me. But he hasn't visited my home since school closed over a year ago. He has been away and though I have seen him once or twice and he has ask me to marry him, still he seldom writes to me and so I do not feel really passionately bound together. Please tell me what I should do. LONESOME BABE. My dear, we often have to set the stage and then invite love in. Love A Berta, the Blind Checker Player, whose skill never fails to amaze as well as entertain Coney Island Pleasure seekers. BERTHA, the blind checker player, is a marvel at maneuvering the checker-men. In fact, she takes an especial delight in defeating those who have the use of two perfectly good eyes. She is now established in a side show at Coney Island where her performances are viewed by thousands of persons daily. She is young—above five, and unlike number of blind folks she does not present an unattractive appearance. Her hair is always glossy and her clothes neatly pressed. Not only is Bertha a checker "queen," but she speaks French and Spanish fluently, it is considerable speed on the appurtened, and is an accomplished pianist.

Since he says he still loves you and has proposed, I think that he is sincere. On the other hand I believe you should recall to him both young and life, very fleeting. Don't ever accuse him of neglect but make some opportunities for him to see you which he can't resist. Invite him to your house for a week-end. If that is impossible go up to see him some Sunday and say what you want. Make lunch, things which you have prepared yourself, and go with him to the country or the park and eat it.

But such a career requires money and patronage, and, unfortunately Bertha has has had no angelic benefactor to introduce her to the public. She was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, of simple poor parents who possessed little or no education. While an infant, her eyes failed and she was placed in charge of one who simulated an eye specialist. An operation was advised. On the day the operation was to be performed, the "Specialist" was intoxicated. Consequently, a fatal tie occurred, and the completely away. The country's finest clinics and surgeons were, ried in vain, to save the sight of at least one eye. The guilty eye "Specialist" upon release committed his folly committed suicide.

Men know it so well that they usually refuse to do it, but many of them which is the frequent task of women. Next time you shop, slip a little candy in your handbag. Before weariness begins to assail you, eat a little. An hour or two after lunch, eat a little. You are prised to find that you will not tire nearly so easily as you usually do. This is merely because sugar is an energy food.

She sent the letters to me, and she sure she loves—and also that of her husband, whom she sometimes thinks she loves. Also she sent her own writing, which shows that her present love for this new man will not change, but for variety; she wants change, some new faces, and new places always. SPECIMEN NO. 3. You can see her handwriting in Specimen No. 1, while that in No. 2 is her husband. He shows self-control, a rather cool and unexpressive nature, but one that is expressive, determined, and with high ambitions for himself and his family. He has the brain to make a success. He is the third specimen, which is just as complete a picture of this "other man." There is nothing good in this writing. It shows a nature that knows little honor, that is unreliable, sometimes domineering, and certainly never to be about what a man that is certain to attract attention just as it has in Marianna's case—but it is no 'worthy.' This is the answer that these three bits of writing give to what may easily be a tragedy, and a broken home. Three bits of writing—and the man been sawed from a terrible mistake. You may have some problem just like this—and if you have, your hand-writing gives the answer.

INSTALLMENT IX It was not until Alicen had deposited our small pots of black tea on the white cloth of the table and departed, that Alec attempted to impart any of the information that he had gleaned in the last half hour. When the flirting folds of her perky blue skirt flitted out of sight beyond the closing door leading into the hall, he turned to us gravely and spoke. “There’s something queer about this Selwyn guy,” he said, “and still queerer about his goings on, if I’m not mistaken.” “Yes! I questioned quietly, at the door, about his hand on Jarton’s eagerly extended arm that was almost flapping with his desire to put in a word of agreement with the conclusion expressed by Alec. Alec sent a look of questioning exasperation to the undertaker’s direction at the motion. "Never mind him, Alec." I said, "his excitement is perfectly legiti- Automatically I reached into and took out another folder and laid it on the table bes Alec had handed me. They texture and coloring. mate, but it will keep. What have you found out?" "Just this," Alec drew a short breath and looked around sharply. His keen eyes swept every nook and corner of the room. Annie was still out in the kitchen where we heard the subdued murmur of her voice as she talked to Mrs. Beal, the proprietress and occupant of the Beal House. Satisfied with his scrutiny Alec reached in his pocket and fumbled for an instant. And then held out toward me and asked, "What about an inch square. I took it and shook it out. It was a small, irregular bit of yellow linen. We looked across at each other. The gravity in our eyes was immense. Automatically I reached into my breast pocket and took out another folded bit of cloth wrapped in a piece of tissue paper. Carefully I unfolded it and laid it on the table. Then Alec had handed it. They were indented in texture and coloring. Al Jarron leaned forward with a gasp that could no longer be suppressed. God is with surprise. His eyes were he I felt my own breath quicken as I fitted the ragged edges of the two bits of cloth together. They fitted perfectly. "That finishes it!" The exclamation was Al Jarton's. "No-0-o. I wouldn't say that Al there are always in this thing." Alic's draw dropped down on his excitement like the snuffer over a candle flame. Alic's words were prophetic. There was more, much more than any one among us there at that small table in the Beal House would ever have disappeared. "At least we know there is some connection between this Selwyn guy and old Meme's mysterious disappearance—cr if no connection, has some connection, I don't know him." I folded the two pieces of cloth together as by CORA JEAN MOTEN The Well-Known Serial Writer. spoke and stowed them away in my pocket as I turned again to Alec. "Was there anything besides the bit of cloth, Alec?" I queried. "Nothing tangible in the way of material things. But there was some interesting information by way of the maid and Mr. Beal." He paused and looked toward the open window. Something had agi- tated the twigs of the big iliac bush just beyond the opening. They rusted softly. a breeze that white curtains, hung, lump and still. Motioning for silence, I got up and tiptoed across the room to the open space and looked out. There was a woman turned to go back to my seat I glimpsed Mrs. Beal approaching from around the far corner of the house. I returned quickly to my seat at the door and quickly did my best da Baal to catch me snapping suspiciously while I was in her house. She was noted for being sensitive about her dignity, and the last thing she did was to ask her, I wanted to be a welcome guest at the Beal House until I could make a few personal investigations of its late guest and his movements. She said, "Are you sure you say?" I was again seated opposite Alec. "It wasn't entirely what she said, it was the way she said it and some things she didn't say, that information." "When I asked her first, about whether Mr. Selwyn was in or not she seemed very eager and started to speak and then—suddenly a look at her eyes and she dropped herself. "I-I don't know sir," at last she stammered. "Will you go up and see, Anne?" keeping my eyes plausibly non-committed and pretending not to have noticed her agitation. "Instead of going upstairs she went out into the kitchen and time she turned up with the information that Mr. Selwyn had paid his bill and when. When I asked her when and where he had gone she said she didn't know. Mr. Selwyn had some books of mine and knew whether he left them or any word about them? That was my method of getting into his room. It worked. Once there it took me only a minute to see that everything of a personal nature had been removed from that room. It was immaculately clean and disconcertingly barg. I did not doubt that the cleansing of that room had been painstakingly done when its occupant decided to move. "But it was this very thoroughness that led me to the one discovery, the presence of this bit of dirty yellowed cloth against the ivory floor board up close the door, stoop the door, and put it on my pants. I did not see it until I turn into my breast pocket ded bit of cloth . . . beside the piece that they were identical in ed to go out, which was when I heard footsteps hurrying toward the door. I was forced to drop my handkerchief over it in an effort to pick it up without having the person enter. I proceeded that I had found anything. Alec paused for a breath. "Who came into the room?" A Jarton asked the question. I waited. "Mrs. Beal." Alcé called the name quietly in a matter of fact tone. But there was something electrical in her voice. "What did she say, Alcé?" The tense atmosphere broke under the impact of the simple question. But when I smiled at her and explained that I had come up to see if Mr. Selwyn had left the books he had borrowed from me she had left the feeling. Although I took the precaution to further placate her by explaining that I couldn't refrain from a moment of pleasantness. My neatness and immaculate cleanliness were the epitome of fine housekeeping I told her. And you know what that woman was, a woman I love. She literally blossomed out, with good feeling. "It was that which won me the bits of information that I might otherwise have failed to obtain" "And those, I reminded him, were on the basis of my anxiety to get my purely mythical books back—books that I have never possessed and never loaned." "She was not certain just where Mr. Selwyn but he had told me that he believed. He had packed his things and left the evening before. Intending not to return, she had thought at the time, but during the night a friend had called for him—a woman, an woman with a child, this woman, Annie, that she be allowed to go up into Mr. Selwyn's room that Mrs. Beal herself had been summoned to assure her that he was not there. But when she can be strange, she can be appeared not until the next morning that she saw her and then—only for a brief instant. "It seems that Selwyn had not paid the bill for the garage that he was using, when he had settled the night before. He had left his car in it for security and had said something about the car and after the car, later. But in the morning he came back himself. "Not until he was counting the money, he had handed her and she see the woman. She was waiting for him in the shadowy end of the small side lobby that comes in off the side street. She had a sofa in the corner of the darkness Mrs. Beal said she could not see her features well. "Anyway, after he paid his bill this man, he was taking woman and taking her by the arm led her out, and Mrs. Beal heard the car start away toward the country. She said that another car was coming the road imitatively afterward." Alec stopped again. This time I knew he had given me all the information that he had, and I asked him no more questions. For a space we sat in silence. We had come to an impasse. Who was they in an with Garland and ? Where have they come from? Where had they come? "Alec," I said, abruptly, "have you ever heard of Zombies?" Alec Jones looked up startled at the word. "Yes," he said and his voice held a note of awe. He hardened his voice to startled—hard-headed old Alec to have such a note in his voice at the mention of a fantastic superstition of ignorant voodooists. He jerked myself together, I tried to laugh; but my laughter had a hollow ring. "And—do you know in them?" He had to be asked: I felt that I must know. "I don't know. Tom—I don't know." The answer ended in relief. I turned of fear, I turned away. As I did so I was sure that the upper twigs of the lilac bush near the window swayed. "Annie," the girl had entered the room in obedience to the call bell on the table that I had pressed, "will you ask Mrs. Beal to step here a There was a wait of several moments while Annie went into the kitchen. She was returning to room with a blank look. She felt failures, when the front door opened and Mrs. Beal stepped into the small front hall. She came into the room nonchalantly and nodded to us in her usual manner, but I thought her brown face was unusually fushed "By the way, Mrs. Beal." I said, I have a friend who is coming here from the West for a short rest. He is anxious to stay somewhere where he will be entirely undisturbed. I told him that, I would get a room with P you for him. My friend Mr. Jonas here has been singing the praises of that empty room that I saw. So I went with such a desirable place, the chances of its remaining vacant are too hardous to risk, so I am going to pay for it for my friend. I just ask a number of his friends that I brought ahead with my own baggage, if you don't mind, I just will set them up so he can start off at home when he comes. I spoke and when I was through I held my wallet in my hand. I noted the quick look of surprise almost of dismay that overspread the woman's face, but I gave no in- "I-I—" she paused. I stood smiling placently at her, waiting. "I shall pay for a month in advance," I said encouragingly. She gulped and went over to the old escritoire that served as a desk and chair. "When may I expect you with your friend's belongings?" she said, as she handed me the key. It seemed to me that I caught a low note of something like cunning and apprehension. "Oh, most any day," I replied, casually uninterested, apparently. "Not tonight?" Her voice, I was sure, had a note of anxiety in it. It was a bit too much. I tried to make my tone non-commital and yet assure her that I would not be there that night. But at the same time I was definitely on her side. My knife held in the room where Alica had found that bit of yellow linen cloth that fit into the piece I had kept folded in my pocket since the time I had unfolded it from about that time. I was ready to cling with the few black hairs clinging to its wicked blood stained blade. (The great Detective Frederick has at last found a clue.

ROGERS, Paris, France. TOUCH But the most redoubtable part of Behanzin's army were the female warriors. To mention either of these two great Negroes is to mention the other. The lives of General Dodds and King Behanzin are inextricably woven together. General Alfred Amedee Dodds, France's greatest soldier, in the period prior to the great war, was born in Senegal, French, West, Africa, among them being the Abu Bubeki, al of Samory, secured Senegal for France; put down revolts in Indo-China; wiped out the Tonkin pirates and commanded the troops in Senegal for twenty years more. He invented a Sengelese lady of mixed ancestry. In 1891, after having taken part in twenty-one wars, he was returned to France and given command of a regiment. He was also made a Commander of the Legion of the Lion of Ghana in a ried to the daughter of a Frenchman and a woman of the Poult tribe. His father, Emery Dodds, the son of this union married Mile. Billaud, daughter of a Frenchman and a Senegale woman. General Dodds was thus of mixed ancestry on both sides. down revolts in Madagascar; led expeditions against African chiefs in West Africa, among them being the Abu Bubeki, al of Samory, secured Senegal for France; put down revolts in Indo-China; wiped out the Tonkin pirates and commanded the troops in Senegal for twenty years more.

He was also made a Commander of the Legion of the Lion of Ghana in a ried to the daughter of a Frenchman and a woman of the Poult tribe. Let us draw now to King Behanzin. "Like his ancestors, Behanzin was absolute master of his kingdom. A nod of his head might mean life or death for almost any of his subjects. His person was sacred and the common people were allowed to see him. Very few persons were allowed to of the severest kind. They charge with bare feet into construction of thorns. Boghe serries the same ground reserved exercises had been reared at not of earth, but of very thorns, about 50 yards long, wide, and 7 feet high. At a yards distance was another thorn.

He was a real monarch. He was descended in direct line from Tacodunon, who in 1610 had conquered Dahomey and taken the throne from his country by the Haitian army but dated several centuries prior to that. In December, 1670, one of Behanzin's ancestors, Adanzan the First, had visited Paris and his wife,ceived with great congratulation at Versailles by the Grand Monarch himself. On October, 1626, Admiral D'Euclie, in the service of Louis IX, had visited Dahomey and his wife,identified with great deference and held fetes in his honor. He gave him to drink out of his own cup—the highest honor possible and the most important gift of the coast. From that time on, the two nations have been trading. It was this gift, nearly three centuries, almost the direct consequence of the encounter of General Dodds and King Behanzin. A word or two about the exploits of General Dodds before his encounter with Hossi Bowie Killarsh. General Dodds Brilliant Entering the military college at St. Cyr, he was graduated from it at the head of his class when 21. Six years later he took part in the Franco-Prussian war, with the rank of captain. At Bazelles, where he was wounded, he was decorated as a cross of the Legion of Honor for bravery. In this war, disastrous for France, he was captured at Sedan and taken into Germany, but escaping, he rejoined his company. Recaptured, he escaped to Switzerland and was interned. But escaping once more he got back to Paris to take part in the defense of that city. From then onwards until the time of his retirement, his life was one of almost continuous warfare. He put KING BEHANZIN King Behanzin smoking the Pipe of Peace. 12 down revolts in Madagascar; led expeditions against African chiefs in West Africa, among them being the Prophet, Abu Bubek, ally of Samory; secured Senegal for France; put down revolts in Indo-China; wiped out the Tonkin pirates and commanders of the troops in Seugal for twenty years more. Here he married a Sengelse lady of mixed ancestry. In 1891, after having taken part in twenty-one wars, he was returned to Madagascar by the command of a regiment. He was also made a Commander of the Legion of Honor. Behanzin, a 'Deity Let us return now to King Behanzin. "Like his ancestors, Behanzin was absolute master of his kingdom. A nod of his head might mean life or death for almost any of his jets. His personals were allowed to see him only at ceremonials. Very few persons were allowed to see him in the performance of any bodily function. If he wanted to be held in the presence of him he would be hid behind a screen from the common gaze. The water would be passed to him, at which the soldiers would throw themselves prostrate to the ground and utter "Ah-h-i-h" as they were enjoined to do. He held in such respect and veneration that not even his selva was allowed to touch the ground. All the refuse of his body was sacred. Says a writer, "Dad's King, we were enjoined to touch the knees of veneration mixed with terror with which the old Dahomeans pronounced this word. For them it symbolized the richness, grandeur and power of their fatherland. It epitomized the souvenirs of the glorious conquests of Dahomey was wealthy and drew the elements of its success from its trade, its powerful army and the courage of its soldiers, which were deemed the most powerful as any power, was - seconded by a marvellous secret police.

ROGERS International Correspondent and Author. UMAN belongs love a change, if anything. They get tired of seeing the same thing, so it will be no surprise to learn that one of the most popular dance halls in Europe is a colored one. We better say: originally a colored one; for at present the Bal Negro on Rue Blomet presents a stranger mixture of humanity than is perhaps to be found anywhere else on earth. The French, English, German, Norwegian, American, and other white nationalities, are to be seen Chinese, Japanese, Egyptians, Persians, Hindus, etc. The scientist who said that there were only five varieties of man would have challenged his mind had he visited this Negro dance hall first. Of course, this helps to show how popular the Negro is in Europe. In this vast field of whiteness, he adds a bit of color and is welcomed for dance. Partner. Can't they see that they ought to leave the beginn to those two colored girls there with their supple waists and hips, and that black sailor who is encircling with his arm the waist of that daughter of his race dressed in blue, red, and green?" Yes, it's the same old story: it's impossible for the colored Brother to hide himself away these days. One might paraphrase, the Psalmist: Though he take the wings of the morning, etc. etc. The orchestra is original French West Indian, and the music, too. No saxophone, no jazz; but banjos, horns and drums. The hip movement of the dance shows its African origin. The tempo is set by a shiny shaped like a cocktail shaker For we recall the time when this dance hall was really a Negro place, and a most original one at that. At that time, was past the hundred and twenty Negroes from Africa and the French West Indies, most of them very dark. There were never present more than five or six French persons. The rappers discovered it. All carried long articles saying that a real Negro dance hall was to be found right here in Paris. From that time, the fortune of this proprietor was that attendance is about three times too much for the hall. The crush is so great, that dancing is almost impossible and one's partner is squeezed onto one. There is hardly space to worm one's walk. And not only is there variety of race but of class as well. Some of the highest socially in Europe come to this dance hall, and an audience is invited. Mike Lent, the street in front is blocked by rich automobiles. Princes, counts, dukes statesmen, artists, musicians, writers rich idlers and poor ones, too, flock to this place the hope of setting thereby a "kick" "It is but, ninety-three," say Intransigent, leading French paper, paper, paper. "I am in the office, still no empty table to be found. Carco (Hungarian dancer) is there, laughter on her lips, her eyes flashing. Foujita (famous Japanese archaic poet) is making fun of him. At a table, Iyra Ehrenbren and Babel, Russian novelists, laughing and attentive. And there is the Count of Carco, the Prime Minister who dances with his knitted brows and his goatose sticking out like a helm. . . Are we really and truly at a Negro dance?" was written. This is what the same paper has to say in 1929: "Oh well, where are the Negroes a friend whom I took to see the Negro hall for the first time asked me. "The Negroes. That's true. What has become of them during the six months of my life? I look on the main floor, and then in the balcony, at h.last as there are about ten. But they are the orchestra and they don't want. Last year they were everywhere." "My friend seems disappointed. I had promised to show him colored folk and now he thinks I had been joking.

Another of their exercises is to have a maddened bull let loose on them which they had to kill with their bare hands. Some would go down, but at the end of a moment the bull was, held with an ocular sheer as a sheep in a European oak. "One should not be astonished after this," says another writer, "to hear that these women fight, to extreme bravery, by their counsellor, the indomitable energy of the other troops that follow them." Like the men, they fought nude to the waist. The Dahomeyan warrior had been given immunity to scorn death. The following is an account of the death of a Dahomeyan spy as told by an eye witness: **Fond of Death** *Executioner: You know, brother, I am going to cut.* (Significant gesture, "cut him.)* *Executioner: Good.* The condemned man knelt and hung his head as if he were only going to have his hair cut. The executioner raised his weapon and said, "Are you ready?" *Yes.* "Here comes," and the sword fell upon the neck of the poor. The blood only came from the executioner becoming ferocious, tried to saw off the head. Fatigued, streaming with sweat. He shouted to a comrade for his sword.

Yes, it's the same old story: its impossible for the colored Brother to hide himself away these days. One might paraphrase the Psalmist: Though he take the wings of the morning, etc., etc. The orchestra is original French West Indian, and the music, too. No saxophone, no jazz; but banjos, horns and drums. The hip movement of the dance shows its African origin. The tempo is set by a shiny thing shaped like a cocktail shaker pierced with many holes. In it are several pebbles, and it makes a strange, peculiar swirling noise as the leader shakes it with a movement if he were throwing it away from him. As to the dancing, it is smoother and much less jerky than jazz. The music is lively and gay. The dresses of many of the colored women are more formal than the striking colors; they are flowing and reach to the heels as in the good old days. Some wear bright-colored bandanas tied so as to bring the hair down like the horns of a snail. The colored person from the United States who visits this place had better bring his interpreter with him if he does not speak French. The colored person, or used to be, pretty well represented. There is the "mammy" dressed in a dozen different colors and encumbered with a sash, a belt, and a sailor wearing their uniforms, sometimes those of officers; the doctor, with his eye-glasses and his professional smile; laughing, brown-haired, and Nerdy dames who do not laugh.

WILLIAM FOX PRESENTS VALIANT ALL-TALKING A man is sitting in a chair, his head in his hands, looking downward. He appears to be in a state of distress or deep thought. The background is a simple, light-colored room with a partition wall. 2. When Walker died Bert never really recovered from his great loss. And though he continued his career, he shared his successes always with the memory of his faithful pal. Behanian's policy was to keep all white persons, except a certain few, from coming into the interior of his kingdom. Such others as came in were permitted to bring no weapons or cameras. The customs service was rigid, and visitors had to be provided with a passport in the shape of a palm almond wrapped in a special leaf. Peanuts were also allowed. The police system prevented the corruption of his officials. Theft or crime of any kind was very rare. Visitors Made Prisoners Explorers and others who came in were virtual prisoners. That is, they became the guests of Behanzin. Every courtesy was shown them, but the official was not allowed to visit the domestics also had received special orders as to what they were to be shown and with whom they were to be permitted to speak. At no time did he himself see themselves from the sight of some of Behanzin's force. King Behanzin was a man of He had seen the intrusion of the European to the European town of Prague. He himself was like King Prenemph of Aushant, first as missionaries and visitors, and later as conquerors. One by one they had been gobbled up. He, alone, was the first to be killed, and as he was, he decided that he was going to be master in the land that his ancestors had been ruling for at least six centuries. Splendid Physique Behainan has been described as tall well-developed and strong, of impetuous nature but dignified. Unlike his rival king, Toffa, he was the most noble of Porto Novo, and unlike his rich subjects, he dressed simply. Around his body and across his bare shoulders was a long pipe, the manner of an ancient Greek or a Roman senator. He wore sandals, and his only affection was a long pipe of exquisite native craftsmanship, most notably at nonchalantly most of the time. He was also a poet, his verses and war chants are said to be the finest ever produced in Dahomey. END OF FIRST PART (To be contended next week.) (The character of this thrilling story contains a daring account of General Behanzin's bravery. He fought the entire French army. France could subdue him only by the resourcefulness of his blind veteran General Dodds, who commanded one of the most skilled mixed regiments in the history of France.)

RENNE GARBE 3. His first lone starring venture after the loss of Walker was, "Mr. Lode of Kole," in which he was Mr. Lode from the Island of Kole. It was in this production that he began to develop his incomparable messagogue and pantomime ability. When we remember that all men are but grown up boys, we should not be surprised to know that men are not always reading through thousands of requests for help in matters of the heart. I have arrived at many conclusions, chief among which is the answer that finding a woman is not so popular as of long ago even though she may be the village beauty. Men are becoming more sensible and are looking rather than to be dazzled. The ugly girl is not without admirers nor does the ungainly one go forever unmated. The old fashioned girl is very popular with men seeking to build a house. The girl who knows how to clean and cook and see on buttons. They like the idea. They like a girl who loves children, while the girl who wins a fine husband but he will not go forth seeking her. The average man still dreams of a cozy cottage, vineclad and a smiling face to meet him in the woods, the kind of the song "My Blue Heaven," was not entirely due to the marvelous voice of the weet singer who introduced it, but the music itself was painted. Every man has at some time in his life dreamed of such a By ELLEN FRANCIS GILBERT I found my footprints, God, today. Down where the herons stop and lay.

So, God, I know that Thou art near And some glad day of some glad year I may come home and find Thee here.

Every color of girl has her adamant appearance, many men like women to clump. Skinny women are not popular. For the girl who is about to be health in an effort to be slender, this may be welcome information. Most men prefer women between the ages of twenty and twenty-five, but women’s desirability. At this age may pick as she will, all things being equal. Afterward, she is limited more and more. Men of fifty feel they may court to the twenty group and are usually acceptable.

Bacharachs Seek Revenge Here BEN TAYLOR'S SHORE TRIBE HERE SUNDAY BEN TAYLOR'S SHORE TRIBE HERE SUNDAY Atlantic City Nine Primed to Tumble Sox Down League Ladder. HENDERSON VS. YOKELY Pitchers' Duel on Tap When Rival Teams Clash. A decided effect on the standing of the clubs in th. American League will be evidenced here, Sunday, when the Bacharach Giants, with Ben Taylor at the helm, clash with the Black Sox in a twin attraction at Maryland Park. The Bee Giants have been hitting it up a quite a clip during the second half of the league in third place only a fraction of a game behind the locals, who are making a desperate attempt to regain first position, from which they were tumbled, following recent losses to the Cuban Stars, Hill- and the Lincoln Giants. Bees Hit Stride Ben Taylor's outfit has gradually hit its stride, and is a much more formidable aggregation that when worn by the team it has showed. Last Sunday, Rats Henderson showed what was in him by dusting off the Cubans with 1-4 0-shoutout in New York. Lindsey, Lindsey, Carr, Manager Taylor and the entire Bacharach outfield have been going great guns and the bats of the shore have been invading of the monumental City. Manager Taylor. Lindsey: McClure and Eggleton, all former Black Sox players, all defeats handed to them by their former teammates. Pitchers Duel Ben Taylor is all smiles over the showing that his team has been making in the past few weeds and is now ready to push his charge to the top of the second-half pennant race. It is likely that he will send Henderson against Yokely in the opening game. Black Sox pitchers who have been winning with any degree of consistency during the second half and it is very probable that Manager Warriors will firing Pud Williams, the time rolls round for the nightcap. Sox Get New Outfielder Ryan. Lee and Hayes seem to have fallen into a slump from which they cannot easily recover, but are expected to recover soon. Occasionally demand. Local fans will get an opportunity to glimse. P. Milton, recently acquired ball tosser, in action. Milton, who joined the club in 2012, is more merely the property of Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants, and is an outfielder and first baseman. He has been hit by a pitch and is smite and is said to be a fast man in the field and on the bases.

Baltimore, Md. 14 ```markdown ``` RACE UMPIRES OR NO BASEBALL On the question of umpires at Black Sox Baseball Park, the AFRO-AMERICAN Sports department wishes its position known. It stands for Negro umpires or no umpires. The League officials can take their choice. A poll of baseball fans today would show an overwhelming vote for black arbiters. We have black preachers, doctors, editors, coaches in our colleges, and black men running businesses, would anybody dare say in the face of this that we cannot find proper people to umpire a ball game? If the Sox management were colored, we'd have colored umpires tomorrow. Do you see any colored umpires at Oriole park, or in American League games? You do not. Why have whites at Black Sox park to humiliate Negroes? White umps at Black Sox park must go, and the sooner the better. Even a baseball fan will stand for only so much humiliation. Japanese Naval Men Messrs. K. Okamura, chief engineer; N. Matsushita, chief officer; and M. Nesi, second officer of the Japanese Steamship, English Home; and the Lincoln Giants of New York and the Baltimore Black Sox. The naval men were guests of Carey Lea Craig, an old time baseball player, Carey Craig, an old time baseball player, Carey Lee J., Georgiana and Tom C., were also present at the game. Four or Five Times! And even more than that, readers of the AFRO read Bill Gibson's story of last year's national tennis tournament at Bordentown. Of course only one reading will be colorful, yet colorful words and phrases. Gibson brings to you a vivid and accurate picture of the play, the ph-eys, and the gallery. You'll regret it the rest of your days. If you miss his story you will be on week's AFRO. Gibson will be there to see everything that goes on.

HE SUN shone on both sides of the fence at Maryland Park, Sunday afternoon, as John Hennery Light Lamp, New York, and the local Black Sox shared a two-ply attraction, the visitors taking the first melee by a score of 2-1 while the outfielder took the second, 2-1. Much arguing by both fans and players marred the two contests. The first game was a pitcher's duel between Rector of New York and Yokely. Yokely fanned six and walked four while Rector fanned two and winked five, but Sox sluggers was unable to hit when hits meant up SMITH STARS AT BAT Smith, leading batter in the league, featured with three of the Giants six hits, getting a single, a double and a home run out of four times The Sox scored in the first when Burbage poled a two bagger to left, went to third on Warfield's sacrifice, and scored when Dixon singled third. They scored again in the second when Marcel received free ticket, Clark doubled to left, and Kicket sent a long sacrifice fly to center. SOX MISS CHANCE In the ninth, the Sox's chance for winning the game came, but they proved not the men for the opportunity. Winters, first up, batting for Yokely, doubled to right, Burbage sacrificed him to third. Warfelle looked at a third strike, which came directly over the plate and looked WILSON "BAD BOY." Wilson, next up, looked at a first strike and argued with the umpire. He drew back his bat in a threatening manner but the ump stood his ground. The next for the final out was to Sisters for the final out leaving Winters on third. Wilson then threw his bat to the ground close to the ump's heels. SECOND GAME Pitching air tight ball. Flournour did not allow a hit until the ball touched him for only five and one run, while the Sox nipped Holland 'for six LUNDY SPIKED. in the seventh when the fans were prepared to leave. Dick Lundy was injured while leaving Washington's throw from center, when Lloyd came into him from first, feet foremost, sever- ely spiking him on the right leg. No bones were broken but out for it at least a week. Lloyd was called out on the play and he proceeded to argue, but to no avail.

Baseball Player Now Restaurantur Jess Hubbard, former Black Sox star outfielder, who was unconditionally released July 21 after receiving injuries of the side and the catcher in a cafe at 1685 Pennsylvania avenue. Hubbard, with the sox proved popular with the fans, having played here last against Cuban and then six hits out of eight times at bat. two beating doublets, three triples and a single. He handled seven chances, all being put out in right field during the game, and was the hero of the day. His venture in the restaurant business will likely appeal to his friends who may find him there throughout the day. He recovered from his injuries and will enter baseball again next season, several owners now are negotiating for his services. He will probably play in the eastern league as in The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 17, 1929 PHILADELPHIA — Charlie Smith, Lincoln Gators outfield, continues to lead the American Negro League in batting with a high average of 457.

ANNAPOLIS BEATEN Baltimore Team Victor in Practice Match. Enthusiasm runs high with the Afro's Horseshoe Pitching tournament well into its first week of preliminary contests. Eliminations have been started at Druid Hill Park, and before the end of the week contestants in East Baltimore, Towson, Govans and M. Winnis will in all probability have started the weeding out process in their respective districts. The Drud Hill Park team defended Annapolis in a match tournament, Saturday. In the singles the Baltimoreans took three out of five games, and the doubles. The visitors were somewhat handicapped in that they had never played on regulation courts, but with the form that the Drud Hill team used, the locals would be hard to beat under any circumstances. Rich, Malcolm Rice, Dick Patterson, Ben Tillman and Dick Whittington sat on the side lines, every one of them equal to the test, but they gave way so that the teams might be evenly matched. Following are the results of the match- Singles Robinson (B) d. A. Johnson (A), 21-2 Davis (A) d. P. Pennington (B), 21-2 Davis (A) d. P. Pennington (B), 21-2 Davis (A) d.

THROW FOR RINGERS, SAYS HORSESHOE EXPERT Cleveland Tells How To Grasp Shoes With Calks Down. Shoe Should Take One and Three Quarters The following hints to horseshoe pitchers, is reprinted from the Cleveland Hardware company's bulletin. Entries for the AFROS statewide Horseshoe pitcher contest are still open. Contests are of shoes and courts and score cards showing method of scoring, are available. Horseshoe pitchers anywhere may obtain copies free by writing the Sports Department, 628 N. Eutaw street. Three things are necessary to become a good horseshoe pitcher: control of shoe and judgment of distance and direction. contain the pitchers. Expert horseshoe pitchers pitch the shoes "open at the peg." The open shoe is one that lands with the opening between the calks toward the stake. The pitchers and three quarters turn in the air has been found to be the easiest control. It is used by the best pitchers in the country. You may stand anywhere in the pitcher's box outside of an eight-inch circle because it is the best place, however, is on the left side of the stake and even with it. There are many ways to hold the shoe to throw it open at the stake. A good method is to grasp the shoe with thumb flat on top and fingers underneath near the open end. The open end should be away from body with the calks down. This is for the one and three quarters turn. Take a long swing back, and step forward with the left foot with the forward swing. The shoe leaves the hand flat in the air with the open end, and the light and should not go higher than eight or feet from the ground. The foregoing description, of course, is for the right-handed pitcher. Watch your shoe light. If it does not light open, try to regulate the grip by gripping the shoe closer to the heel calks or toward the foot calk. When you throw an open shoe, remember where you gripped it and try again. With constant practice you will learn to throw the shoe open. When you have done this, practice for distance and direction and you will throw ringers. How They Stand # AMERICAN LEAGUE Won Lost Pct.

BY THOMAS W. YOUNG PETERSBURG, Va. - The ode "Ted" Thompson won the men's singles crown with as spectacular a display of perfected volleying as he has shown he defeated Edgar Brown at Bordentown in 1925, in his first appearance at the Southeastern open championships on Virginia State College's hospitable, campus here Saturday. His opponent in the finals was Lester B. Granger, of Bordentown, N.J., whose steady and accurate force forced four former champions to call on everything he had to win in four sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. After being one point from defeat three times, Miss Lila drove and volleyed her way over an uphill path to overtake Miss Lila Ballard and deprive her of the title she won last year, winning her mother's singles in three 3-6, 6-3, 7-5. Tommy Calloway Wins Thomas Calloway, of Roanoke, Va. ended a remarkable and brilliant career in junior tournament play when he won his fifth championship in that division. Calloway has won the Southeastern junior year since the tournament was first held in 1925. Reginald Hawkins, who reached the finals by a clever and flashy game of tennis, went down before the Roanoke youth in three sets, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. The men's doubles championship was the only final event in this classy tournament since he won the finals in sets, McGriff and E. D. Downing defeating L. B. and W. R. Granger in a close battle, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4. McGriff's uncanny covering of the fore court and Downing's terrific forehand drives turned the trick. For the first time in his career, Miss Washington with Miss Ballard were opponents in women's doubles, Miss Washington teaming with Miss Laura V. Junior of Philadelphia to win from Mrs. Emma Leonard and Mrs. Elise Conick, of New York, 3-6, 6-3. Miss Ballard and Miss partner, N.C., were out by the players in N.C., were put out by the players in the semi-finals. Mixed doubles turned out to be a repetition for the Southeastern, with L. B. Granger and Miss Washington again victorious. The Granger andanger and Granger, 8-3, 1-6, 6-3. Ted Regains Old Form Thompson's victory in the singles became more and more of a certainty with each day of play. After being within two points of defeat in first place in the first round with W. B. Layne, Virginia champion of years back he pulled through and after trimming off J. M. Burrell and L. W. Cook in the third and fourth rounds, in old time terms, in aerial semifinals with Dr. E. D. Downing of Roanoke, Va. Downing and Thompson went up game for game until Ted took his opponent's service with the count standing 7-7 and then won his own for the set. For the set for Downing apparently had ganched everything on taking the lead and outlasting Thompson. And when Ted rushed the net, cutting off his adversary's fastest drive with crisp,劲弹 volleyed shots, the second time Downing was the opening down. Downing was a beaten man. The other sets were 6-1, 6-1. Brown Absent Edgar Brown's failure to compete, doubtless because his lawn tennis tournament in Chicago was not finished in time, left only Dr. J. L. McGriff, president of the American Association, a division of the NCAA, to advance into the finals. It was a gruelling, five-set match, which saw an exhausted player give all he had in every stroke and finally win out over the alert and determined McGriff. Granger the first two, 6-2 and 6-3, lost the next two, 1-6 and 0-6, but staged a rally in the final one which required all he could summon to his command. With the count 5 to 2 in his favor, he ran into an adrenaline-fueled challenge and fell across the net, all but out. However, he came back and took the set, 6-3. Granger a Threat In the finals Granger was always a threat. Netted balls and balls knocked out were plentiful but the brilliance of Ted's half-volleys and Granger's forehand and backhand were worth while exhibiting. Although he played one semi-final in the morning and three final matches during the day Granger never let up for a minute. He pressed Thompson hard every rally and the former champion was seriously about his task of winning. Miss Ballard. trailing one to four in the third set of her match with Miss Washington. put on a spurt that evened the count. Miss Ballard took four in games. In the tenth game, Miss Ballard was serving at 40-15, within one point 70 Already Entered in Playground Athletic League's Water Carnival. BAR NEPTUNE CLUB Local Club May Meet D. C. Group, However.

There are many the world series. Transportation and tainty of the world. We would count but why not take a change. In Baltimore, we wager would draw at least 15,000 people headers on Saturday and Sund played possibly in Philadelphia o r from what we learn was not Yokley, W the other satellites. We believe. Such contact between the E a long way toward pouring oil on the shores of the two territories, over player stealing and other ule tions. Certainly there are few who will meet in a series or not, that the need is a chance to get together stead of ABOUT each other. A standing, we hope. We are to come at time to get to tween western and eastern win Monarchs and the Sox, but as many a slap . . . WE HAD NO IDEA ("you r that we'd have an answer so soon their opinion on the umpire sit these columns. Our insistence upon race u m at Maryland Park, home of the vition which agrees with our vition. The Vition tells something of the experien ce al League. THERE'S MANY A SLIP twixt third base and home plate, as they say in Jalapel, but barring any serious reversal of form, it appears that the Baltimore Black Sox and the Kansas City Monarchs are going to cop the gonfalson in their respective pastures. Each team won the first-half pennant race in its division and each is now leading in the second half. Should it happen that the Sox win the second half in the East and the Monarchs do the same in the West, there will be no play-offs necessary to decide the league championships. Why not then, have the eastern and western winners meet in a world series? Why not? we ask, and immediately duck to shelter from a barrage of brickbats, over-ripe hen fruit and assorted missiles. Memory of the last series held in the East and from the park as their share of the gate, are revived whenever the word "series" is mentioned. It was more of a world's "serious" than anything else. Yet this pillar is optimistic enough to believe that there is money to be made in a series staged this year. We have written to President Hueston of the National League, and to President Bolden of the American League, regarding the matter and swale their repiles. There are many things to be considered, world series winner, the accommodations and the unceremony of the, weather are the principal bugaboos. Enough, of course, but why not take a chance? Here in Baltimore, we wager that a properly advertised series would draw at least 15,000 people to four games, played as double-headers on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Games could be played possibly in Philadelphia or New York as well. What else would a big drawing card. The want to see Yokley, Wilson, Dixon, Lundy, Warfield, and the other satellites. We believe they'd turn out to see the boys. Such contact between the East and West would no doubt go a long way toward pouring oil on the troubled waters that wash the shores of the two territories. The hostility that has grown up over player steals and other ethical practices might be lessen, destroyed as a consequence of such a contact. Certainly there are few who will deny, whether the East and West meet in a series or not, that the principal thing that both leagues need is a chance to get together and talk WITH each other instead of ABOUT each other. A series would start such an understanding, we hope. Time to get together to arrange a meeting between western and eastern winners. They probably will be the Monarchs and the Sox, but as we said at the beginning, there's many a slip . . . G WE HAD NO IDEA ("you never will have one," say our foes) that we had an answer so soon to our request that fans write in their opinion on the umpire situation as we have outlined it in these columns. Our insistence upon race umpires in general, and specifically at Maryland Park, home of the Black Sox, brought a communication which agrees to the umpire situation so that it to you. B. Wilkins, a former western sports writer, describes the experience with race umpires in the National League. Mr. Wilkins says: "I have noticed, with interest, the controversy which has arisen with umpires at Maryland Park. I am a frequent visitor to George Rossler's stadium. "I have noticed, with interest arisen over colored umpires aquent visitor to George Rossette. "Out were colorless umpires to describe the word of the arbitrer of color. I Louis when Uncle Billy Donald series of games, players and failings, until finally he quit in before fans realized that a mishap had occurred, the pitcher, be returned to call ball. "One of the greatest obstacle color. It is not their ability or only a matter of color. It seem ment attending games at Ma that the old monarchial saying that of those attending games at M "I have seen ball players, merly of the Chicago American of bats at Umpire Boone, just dressing room. "Both ball players and fans preferition to an argument, an be more favorable next time. "The only possible method players use in the tennis tournament, gas weeklies should, each week bitters and impress upon the of colored umpires. "As for recommending stranger in these parts, I am able men and women willers at Maryland Park." JUST WHAT IS MEANT beviously cast a reflection upon the Brown, the tennis tournament in Chicago is meant, we feel that the par other medium for their attack. The tournament, our Gracie success, is played in the North central barriers raised. However, itament were donated by a numen enemies of Brown have immed tennis player is making a play in the attack, whether warranted or not trying to injure another. We ections were in promoting the tour who participated in it and we were keen to know that in the East who fear that the nationals in this section and, to come. We disagree with the Reasons for our disagreement only to want to disturb trivial persons, some of If Brown's intentions were poli resulted from his efforts, why so we guess, enters, squawking, for in were obtained legally, we see no complaint is in order, we thinking it than through an "editor agency. However, the new court has handled the new that body should deal with Whether the same parties circulation of the rumor that nationals have anyway we have had no the office of the A.T.A. president of the office of Dr. McGriff, his information to a waiting world, we have been the same if the situation involved a interest of clean sportsmanship be adjusted officially so that the "Out west, colored umpires are used, but it required education to educate the fans to the point where they would take the word of the arbiter of color. I remember an occasion in St. Louis when Uncle Billy Donaldson was the umpire. For several series of games, players had to be appointed to Donaldson's office, but time was not long before fans realized that a mistake had been made, and petitions were signed, asking that Donaldson, one-time great pitcher, be returned to call balls and strikes. "One of the greatest obstacles to colored umpires is their color. It is not their ability or inability in all cases, but simply a desire to be the majority of the eleventh attending games at Maryland Park, are of the belief that a white man cannot be mistaken, which reminds me of the old monarchial saying that 'a king can do no wrong.' Some of those attending games at Maryland Park believe that. "I have seen ball players, and especially the Chicago American citizen Carl an entire armful of bats. Uncle Boone, just as he turned to go into his dressing room. "Both ball players and fans must be educated to believe in colored arbiters—to take their decisions, right or wrong, in preference to an argument, and hope that their decisions will be more favorable next time." The author is pressed by which to school fans and players, is through the Negro press. Sports scriveners of Nego weekles should, each week, discuss the merits of race arbiters and impress upon the fans and players the necessity of colored umpires. As for recommending competent umpires, I am a strangely different part, but I feel confident that there are able man about who are willing and anxious to become arbiters at Maryland Park." JUST WHAT IS MEANT by the attempt of a group to obviously cast a reflection upon the good intentions of Signor Edgar Brown, national tennis champ, who promoted the recently ended lawn tennis tourney in Chicago, we do not know, but whatever is meant, we know that the tennis offices responsible might find some other reason for their attack. The tournament, our Chicago correspondent tells us, was a success, and was the first of its kind in which there were no racial barriers raised. However, it seems that prizes for the tournament were donated by a number of proponents, and it is likely that the howl that the tennis player is making a play for political favor. In the interest of good sportsmanship, we feel that such an attack, whether warranted or not, is a rather cowardly method of trying to injure another. We do not know, but we do feel, if those who participated in it are to be believed, that it was a worthwhile project. We do know that there are some tennis followers in the East who fear that the Chicago tournament will eclipse the nationals in this section, and probably replace them in years to come. We disagree with these people. We only want to call attention to the unsportmanlike conduct of certain disgruntled persons, of whom we believe we can name. If Brown's intentions were political, but still a good tournament resulted from his efforts, why squawk? A certain type of guessing, we guess, is not given to humans, the ones who are squawking, for instance. As long as the trophies were obtained legally, we see no cause for complaint. And if complaint is in order, we think there are better ways of expressing it than through an "editorial" release of a reputed "news" agency. However, the bewisherk and the respectable Chicago hawker may be responsible, we feel that body should deal with him in the proper manner. Whether the same parties are responsible for the present circulation of the rumor that Brown may be barred from the nationals because he staged the Chicago tournament, we do not know. anyway we have had no official notification of such rumor. We wait. What is the official office of Dr. McGriff, himself, be allowed to release such information, to a waiting, world. We bear no brief for Brown. Our attitude would be the same if the situation involved a scrub from Jalapel. And in the interest of clean sportsmanship we believe that the matter should be adjusted officially so that the public may know.

JUST 15 YEARS OLD New Champions Expected in Many Events. Ballimore pin: its hopes for tennis fame this year on Alfred, 15 year old son of Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Walker, Madison avenue. Dr. Walker is pastor of Madison Street Presbyterian Church was one time tennis champion of Lincoln University. Alfred, followin in the footsteps of his dad, has a chance to annex the national junior singles crown on Saturday when the tournament gets under way Monday at Borden town, N.J. Last year Alfred was runner up. Reggie Wetr, of New York, 1928 champion, was the first to advance Walker to the position of defending champion. Walker's play has been exceptionally good this season and it is expected to continue in the next season of himself in next week's tournament. R. Hawkins, Philadelphia, is a dark horse in this division and Herman Marroo, of New York, will play at North Carolina, Tommy Calloway of Virginia, Gerald Norman, Jr. of New York and others will be there fighting, making the play in the junior division, the most colorful in several seasons. Last year at Bordentown, Weir defeated Walker, taking straight sets, 6-1 and 6-4. Walker's play received favorable ratings, showing how remarkable when it is considered that Weir overcame him by a foot or more, and was two years older. Should Alfred fall this year he will have two more matches before he reaches the 18-year old age limit. Young Walker will leave with his father for Bordentown, the last of this week. The tourney will run thru April. Concerning the chance his son and protege has for winning the junior title. Rev. Walker said: "Alfred has a mighty good chance. I am confident. I'm looking for him to bring the junior championship back to Baltimore."

The Hertsfields Here. Where Is Cecil Coleman? Bernie Hughes Martin in Town. Ruth G. Morris Couldn't Deny the Dictates of Her Heart. Oodles of Entertaining to be at Bordentown Tennis Tournament Dear Pansy Can you blame a poor society editor for becoming languid, while everybody who can spare the time and where-with-all, has deserted the hot city? Except for the delightful trips that Baltimore would like amusements at Wonderland Park, Baltimore would be spending a dull summer. And, really, the only social spurs made now come in the form of outings to the Shore. Small groups are finding this place a boon for summer parties and a place to while the time away, there they have plenty of parking space. You know how well parking space can fit into a warm summer evening. But let me tell you about the fishing party. A Bunch Goes Fishing. Fishing is generally a man's sport, but some wives I know in Baltimore seem to find joy a plenty in it, too. For instance, a bunch, including Mr. and Mrs. Howard Murphy, Kate Burkett and Dr. R. B. McRary, Dr. and Mrs. Dan Brown, Sadie and William H. Anderson spent the weekend down at a place called Colton, where they caught a hundred fish (so they say) and enjoyed sundry other good times. While there they were guests at the Hotel Golden. 1603 Pennsylvania Ave. (Near McMechen Street) High Grade Perfumes From All Over the World Face Powders For Ladies Fishing is but some we seem to find For insta- Mc and Mrs Burkett and Mrs D. Arnette Mur William H. A and down where they so, they say William L. Herselfland and his bride Mrs. Margaret Chestnut Herselfland, dashed into town this week-end en route to Washington, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. While there they joined guests at an outing at Laytonsville where the Greenbury Howards were their hosts. Others in the party were Bessie Adger of Murphy and Marie and Robert Claister. Who Is the Dashing Dame? Rumor has it that a dashing little dame in the 1300 block of Pressman street and Cecil Coleman have closed. Pretty Bernice Martin Here My dear, Bernice Hughes Martin you know the Rev, and Mrs. Alfred Hughes' great love, and of a love of wives, at her parents' country home at Gaithersburg and yesterday, who should I run into bu- berice, who had motored down for the day to chat with a number of her friends. The same old Bernice- no change whatever—up to the min- ute in fun and enrol in town. The hot in town for them, she says, so out she goes to tomorrow. No chance now to consider a party in her honor. Love Will Find a Way. Pansy, if you will be very long enough to go back to your own romance, perhaps the unusual love affair of two African missionaries, who will be united next Tuesday.

Graham of the Pacific coast, are the interesting parishmen now, how it has all come about: See Pansy, Lorenz was stationed in Liberia as private secretary to Bishop Brooks, then a little while after that, in sailed vessels, to the Baptist missionary, Kind old fate worked her charms in bringing about a quarantine that brought together accidentally, on purpose. Man-like, Lorenz fell first as a captain, duty—locking the doors of her heart and refused to listen to its prompts. But, old top, love finds its way sooner or later, and through her adventures, she travels her to travel by foot from the interior to Montville, and occasional long trips to the coast, Lorenz and Ruth's acquaintance grew into a favorite for each other. Ruth realized only too soon Lorenz's lonely life and one night when the moon was high and they were alone, they realized life was not complete that day, and for a perfect union, working together in the field that they both loved best. Hence the nuptial ceremony will be celebrated in Richmond, Va. on next Tuesday, August 20. The brides' dad will assist. Ruth's brother will give her away and Lorenz's sister will sing "Say Not to Me." Their future home will be at Bendoo Industrial Mission, Liberia, West Africa.

Remember the Address POLE-SITTING FAME FADES FOR BOY, AROMA OF PIE BALKS FLAG POLE SITTER Earle Rogers, 9, Comes Down to Get "Leavings" in Mother's Bowl. THREE ATTEMPTS Young Hopeful Started Fame Quest August 4. The familiar aroma of new baked pies proved to be the Waterloo of the lone race contestant for flag pole sitting fame and fortune, here Friday. Nine year old Earle Rogers, the young hopeful, came down from his ten feet perch for the third time and may not go back he says. Getting fame is one thing, he mused, but getting the 'leavings' in the pie bowl and spoon used by his mother is another, and as a surfer one, he pointed out to AFRO-AMERICAN reporters. He came down Friday he had been sitting just exactly five hours and 18 minutes. The time keeper's record shows that young Rogers made three attempts to break the record made by Avon Freeman, white, on a venise ball. The first was on 6:55 a.m. Monday, August 4th and lasted until Tuesday August 5th at 7:03 p.m., when he became fatigued and came down so that he could get a good nights sleep to avoid the ordeals of the night previ- The second was made Wednesday morning at 8:34 a.m. and lasted until 4:40 p.m., when the wooden perch became too hard for real comfort again. The young assistant came to early and secured a pillow. Owen measuring he found that the pillow did not give him as much comfort, as he expected and having been seated for twenty minutes he decided to call it off until the following day. New Start Waking early Thursday morning Earle held a conference with his brother. Clinton Rogers, who is years younger than the position aspiring to, the conclusion of the latterly meeting it was decided to postpone the next attempt until Friday. After spending the day making necessary preparation the youths went to bed with light hearts for their start to fame and the pliompion the next evening. Seeming-Cilton was as excited as his older brother. The following morning the boys awakened bright and early and after a short conference, Earl climbed to his perch on the 10 foot mage lodge which was not very substantial. This third attempt began at 8:12 a.m. Things were going smoothly mum. Mrs. Edith Rogers then the mother started making plops about 1:30 p.m. the sitter got a good whiff of the odor of the sweetmeats. Down he came fatter than on the two previous times and from then on his illusions of being the champion flag pole sitter were shattered.

When they were unable to produce 'certificates of registration or operator's license' the policemen took them to the Southwestern station. At the station a search was made of the machine and officers found a burglap bag containing fifteen pints of whiskey, a five-gallon can containing red whiskey and twenty-seven empty half-pint, bottles. Shortly after the couple had been detained at the police precinct, the machine was reported missing by William A. Collins, of Reistertown. Police are investigating.

The driver of the white man's car was arrested on the charges of drunken driving, reckless driving and failure to give right of way. The first charge was dismissed. After the accident, Mr. Grant drove home with one wheel of his car having only the spokes left.
