Cars house several hundred more for the night, sall collar, tie and shoes, while many a lusty snore has been reported as coming from under the boardwalk.

WILSON SUSPENDS CHI LODGES AND TREASURER ATLANTIC CITY. (CNS)—Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson suspended Grand Treasurer James C. Martin and has ordered Secretary James E. Kelly not to turn over to him any funds. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson also ordered the suspension of Fort Dearborn and Great Lakes lodges of Chicago. Suspension of the treasurer is based upon what has been termed a scurrilous attack upon Wilson by Martin in the press. Suspension of the Fort Dearborn and Great Lakes lodges is based upon their failure to pay dues within the prescribed time. Chicagoans headed by Martin, planned to file mandamus proceedings against the compassed of Alderman Anderson, Percy H. Ashe and L. A. Newby, all of Chicago, decided that the case would not stand unless they first seek redress in the grand lodges. Litigation now depends upon the report of the credentials committee. If Wilson stands pat and refuses to withdraw the suspensions, Chicagoans are allowed many of the Illinois opponents. Oscar DePrêt, representative from Illinois, is a member of the Fort Dearborn lodge and has been asked to make his nominating senator. Senator Adelbert Roberts and Alderman Louis Anderson, who are expected to second the nomination of Wilson's opponent, will also be af- Betting is two-to-one that Wilson stands his ground and that the Fort Dearborn contingent of the Holiday Inn has hired him for suspension, even though the order may be plunged into a series of court suits. Others feel that a compromise is in the offing. The suspension of these ledges will allow the election of Wilson, his friends say. LODGE DELEGATES VOTE WITH WILSON, 781-80.

ADJOURN AT NOON Session Resumed at 2, P.M. Friday. ATLANTIC CITY, (Friday Noon)—The Elks' convention adjourned at noon Friday for lunch. The entire morning was taken up with points of order and other questions raised by Ben Davis, Atlanta and Louis Anderson, Chicago. Election of officers began at 2 p.m. Friday and will continue until midnight. Turke, of Cleveland, is Wilson's candidate for treasurer. New York delegates claim that Bentley is offering as high as $250 for votes. Wilson's friends still maintain he has the election safely in hand. All factions are tired out with the situation, and when appointment comes, will go home for much needed rest. Wilson's Re-Election Predicted by Afro Based upon a canvas made by the AFRO at 8 a.m. Friday morning, Finley Wilson's re-election is predicted by a handsome majority. The factional wars virtually ended when a conciliatory committee composed of R. R. Church, chizman, Isaac Nutter, George McMechen, Oscar DePriest, W. C. Hucson, L. C. Anderson, J. C. Hucson, and James Nutter named by Wilson. They recommended that the suspended treasurer be permitted to file his report with the secretary but not to read it to the convention. He represents a victory for Wilson. The committee recommended that the election be by ballot and that the roll of delegates be called. This presents a victory for the Casper Holstein faction which contested the proposal to suspend the rules and vote by acclamation. The convention adjourned Thursday to begin in time to give the election committee opportunity to prepare and have the ballots printed.

No doubt he was a turning point in Parham's career. Parham seemed very lonesome and disturbed. Congressman DePriest was given the military honors usually accorded to congressmen. Dozens of cameras were set up to get within range to make pictures. The substance of the interview remains a secret, but from the tenor of the Congressman's speech before the cavalry detachment, with whom he fires, DePriest and his luncheon it was full of inspiration and fire. Speaking to the colored cavalry detachment, Mr. DePriest, said: "Gentlemen, I am very glad to have the opportunity here. It here is pleasure to appoint a boy here to the Academy. One of our boys. I am anxious that he makes good. I received a letter from him and he encouraged. I don't want any special favors from the officers, but I do want him to have the same opportunity, facilities and rights given the other students. I was born down behind the sun, and I have the rights. By living the life of a good citizen one can demand respect. This is your problem as well as mine.

C.—While Jim Crow schools for colored children are increasing, separate schools for Indian pupils are to be abolished. With a view of hastening and increasing the Indian's assimilation of American principles and mode of living, and lowering the taxpayers burden, Indian schools are courting enter white public schools preference to separate institutions for their education throughout the West according to an announcement of the Interior Department last Friday. California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, Washington and Oregon, the Indian population is quite intimately mixed with the white image stated and in Oklahoma about 60 per cent of Indian children are in public schools. Reduce Expenses White public schools are within easy reach of many Indians in the West, where attendance would benefit the Indians and render the expense of separate institutions unnecessary. The Department's statement in Learn to Get Along "The Department believes that it would be much better for the Indian child if it should attend public school, rather than in contact with white children and would learn much of their ways and philosophy of life. "He would learn along as a member of the dominant civilization. It is hoped that he would absorb the white man's idea of work and money making. When education was as important would be out in the world and earn a living. "An example of the sort of reservations that the Omaha Indians are that of the Omaha Indians in Nebraska. There are some 1,600 Omahas who have been allotted fertile farm lands in areas of 50 acres to 100 acres. Most of them have good houses in which to live and incomes from their lands which they do not farm themselves but lease to white people practically all of them speak English. Separate Schools Not Needed "Ninety per cent of the members of the tribe live with their Mama with modern grade and high schools. There are public schools in the farm country in which they live. They are as able to take care of their children and educate them as is any other group of Americans." There would seem to be no reason why special provision should be made to board and clothe their children in separate schools where result in practical education is much less important it would be if they stayed home. State to Assume "A number of the States are now almost ready to assume responsibility for the education of the Indian children of them where school funds are none too large and where the Indian is not a taxpayer, the Federal Government will be asked to pay tuition for the Indian pupils. I will do this, the circumstances seem to warrant, Gradually, however, responsibility for the education of Indians will be shifted to the States and eventually the Indian citizen will be treated in no way differently from the white citizen."

She is shown at the Francis Swimming Pool in Washington, all ready for a plunge. Her mother, Mrs. Violet Thompson Warfield, is a former Baltimore school teacher HOWARD DENTAL PROFESSORS DROPPED WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Sometime prior to October 7, the beginning of the new school year, one of the new deans of Howard university, Arnold B. Donawa, will, according to good authority, become a full fledged citizen of the United States. In the meantime he has entered on duty and taken over the full administration of the dental college and clinic, and is working to put in effect a recent reorganization of the College of Dentistry. Under date of August 19th, Dr. Donawa wrote to seven of the part-time professors and instructors of that school that the College will not be able to avail itself of their valuable services beginning with the school Continuing, the dean wrote: "On behalf of the College of Dentistry I desire to express to you our great appreciation for your past services, hope you will continue to enjoy the history of our schools may at sometime place us in a position to call upon you again." It is claimed that these letters were "letters of courtesy" and all participants and instructors are hired from year to year, and the dean desired to give them notice that it was probable that they would not be recommended for reemployment this coming year. The students receiving these "letters of courtesy" were: Joseph C. Brazier. 1700 New Jersey avenue, northwest; Jackson L. Davis, 1219 Ninth street, northwest; 1944 Ninth street, northwest; Ernest Hardy, 1912 Ninth street, northwest; Iverson O. Mitchell 1910 Thirteenth street northwest; Raymond B. Thomas 2005 Thirteenth street northwest and Samuel B. Thompson, 1302 New Jersey, northwest. The College of Dentistry is to be put "on a full time basis, both in the teaching and the clinical department, and only four full time professors, it is a part of the scheme to raise the number to eight full time men this year. Dr. Ernest M. Gould another part-time professor and demonstrator, has been offered a full time professorship, but has as yet not accepted the offer. Dr. M. D. Wisman of 300 E street, southwest, was offered a part-time professorship. Dr. Wisman is formerly a part time instructor in conductive anesthesia, but resigned about a year ago. Dr. Jackson L. Davis has been requested to continue to leave in the lecturer in dental jurisprudence. The reorganization scheme is planned, so it is said, to develop teachers and expert teachers, every branch a full time expert, and give each a full time expert. Dr. Fred P. Barrier is scheduled for the full time professorship of operative dentistry, and is to drop the clinical side of his former job. The department has been reduced and the part time professors receiving the "letters of courtesy" are said to receive the greater part of their income from their private jobs. Montgomery Johnson is silent. Dean Donaway also refuses to release names of new dental staff. Senate Met to Adjourn WASHINGTON, D.C. — (CNS.) With only seven Senators in their seats, the Senate met Thursday for eleven minutes and adjourned until September 4th. This adjournment is in accordance with a gentlemen's agreement not to transact business until the tariff bill is ready. Make your hair lustrous Banish gray hair this quick, easy French way say Lariuse is best. Will make you look years older. Take WASHINGTON, D. C. The Republican coalition with the Cannonites in Virginia against the Democratic organization is expected by keen political observers here to react against the Republican party in the senatorial campaign in Massachusetts next year. For every gain the Republican party makes in Virginia, there is a widening loss in Massachusetts, political experts sigure. They base their deduction on the fact that racial and religious issues, which were raised in the last presidential campaign and have been injected into the Gubernatorial campaign in Virginia, have opposite reactions in these two states. Margin is Slim in Mass. The Negro votes in Massachusetts and in recent senatorial elections it has been very effective. In the next senatorial election it may be the deciding factor, 50 percent are senatorial elections in the State. 1924 with President Coolidge carrying the State by 422,669 majority, Senator Frederick H. Gillett, whose term will expire March 4, 1931, was able to win by 18,000 plurality. Two years later Senator Walsh defeated Senator William M. Butler, who was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Senator Helen Cabot Lodge, who was appointed to serve the situation in Massachusetts that Louis K. Liggett, Republican national committeeman from the Bay State, may have come to the anti-Smith forces and the Republican organization in Virginia when the Republican national committee meets here September 9 to elect a successor to Dr. Hubert W. Wood, man and Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, vice president. Dickerson Ousted A recent development in the Virginia situation was the displacing of R. Walter Dickerson, Republican nominee for the state legislature, who mentioned the fact in a speech that the Dickersons of Tazewell County, Va. supported the Union in 1861. Calom B. Stead, of Richmond, has been nominated in his place. It is assumed that Mr. Stead's ancestors fought against the Union and to uphold slavery, he is an assistant governor, a steward, or the eastern district of Virginia. May Spur Bolt This move is not calculated to aid the Republican cause in either Virginia or Massachusetts, but it is not the bolt of colored voters in Virginia to the Democratic ticket headed by John Garland Pollard. He was already dissatisfaction among colored voters because of the coalition and the guidance of the Republican party by C. Bacom Slemp. Many could have been intention of voting against Dr. William Moseley Brown, the coalition nominee for Governor. Huston Like Slemp As far as the Negro voter is concerned the situations in Virginia and Massachusetts will become more acute by the selection of Claudius H. Huston to chairman the Republican committee. His ideas as to holding the South are said to be about the same as Horace Mann, who believed it necessary to eliminate the colored voter from party leadership in Southern States in order for the Republican party to carry them for Hoover.

BERLIN, Germany—One of the very last things that I did before leaving New York was to get a haircut. In fact, getting a hair cut in Europe was one of the experiences which I dreaded most.

If two hundred Maryland Masons are shocked because they were jim crowed and refused meals en route to Baltimore from their annual session at Princess Anne, perhaps it is not a bad Certainly it is the first evidence of modern and youthful spirit of manhood that has come to public notice for several moons. This ancient and honorable order, dignified and formal, has seemed to devote more of its attention to the building of a temple and the wearing of uniforms than to the quest of the rights of citizens.

Down In Centerville, Tennessee, Turley Wright was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for rape of Zora Lynn, 55, a weak-minded white widow. White defense attorneys soon proved that two granddaughters, supposed eyewitnesses, were lying; that they were out gadding about with men, the night of the crime. Stirred by the falsehoods, two white attorneys for Mrs. Lynn withdrew from the case and declared their belief that Wright was being "framed." The jury, however, brought in a verdict of guilty, and Wright goes to the penitentiary. Outside of the courthouse—away from the mob and the one hundred "watchful" national guards—jurymen "explained" that they knew Wright was innocent; but voted for conviction so that he might be taken to Nashville for "safe keeper" from the mob." She did on immediately arises whether or not the jurymen acted in good faith. Certainly they violated their solemn caths to bring in a verdict based solely upon the evidence submitted. Here are other cases which the jurors may have recalled:— Denman Lowman was lynched by a mob after an Aiken, S.C., court had freed him of killing a white sheriff. M. Coleman was lynched by a Clarksdale. Miss, mob after being acquitted of killing a white storkeeper. John Wilson barely escaped a mob in Olive Branch Va., after acquitted on a charge of rape of a white woman. The woman admitted that she lived. In none of these cases did the court have behind it the presence of one hundred militiamen to preserve order and insure deliberate and unprejudiced action by the court. The Centerville case is a slap in the face of those who maintain that the presence of the military is a guarantee of a fair verdict as well as a fair trial. The Centerville jury's admission that they voted for conviction to save Wright from a lynching, constitutes, after all, a fair estimate of the value of Dixie national guards in presence of race tension.

Over 7,833 natives were given medical aid at the Baptist hospital in Liberia under the management of Dr. Pauline E. Dinkin. The late American Minister, Dr. John E. Dinkin, in making these facts public, some of our reformers and critics will get an idea of the constructive work that is being done by the Negro church to redeem our fatherland. We need to understand and embrace the staircase support of race and the denomination. Africa needs more of the American Negroes' dollars and more practical teaching with less speculation. I believe when a member of the group handles such a large sum of money as was done by Dr. East, and can give an accurate account of it, I think he should be commended publicly. The annual reports of the Lott-Carey Society The financial report of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention (incorporated) for the fiscal year ending June 30th, is one of the best; $199,000 was collected during year 2012 and $98,000 was spent in Africa.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER A correspondent writes that he is in sympathy with the editor these hot days. We would be glad if some of our correspondents express sympathy in a manner that may by not writing letters. sure If they would boil down their correspondence and write only news, it would save the editor many hours of work for we have to do the boiling down and then the correspondents feel we have not done them justice. J. M. M. Eutaw Place The discovery that the names of Mr. Jacob H. Hollander (white) and Mr. R. Brent Keysie (white), president of the Board of Trustees of Johns Hopkins University, and Mr. John D. Harlan (white), secretary, are among the signers of a neighborhood agreement forever to bar Negroes from residence on Eutaw place (1800 and 1900 blocks) except as servants, gave Baltimore something to talk about last. This street, because of its fine mansions and well-kept center parkway, is one of the prettiest in the city. The agreement appears to have been negotiated in 1824-25, when the Curtis segregation case in Washington was passed upon favorably by the Washington, D.C., lower courts. Startling to Bainbridge is the list of names of the blacks among whom were believed to be black inhabitants and humanitarians. The Curtis block of S street in Washington is all colored today. Readers of the AFRO will also recall the outey when the occupants occupied McCullin street and Haleigh street, twenty-five years ago. Streets intersecting Eutaw place are already occupied by colored home owners. Eutaw place is no longer the interracial boundary line. As the community expands, this street, with its parkway, will either be occupied by colored folk or entirely surrounded by them. The property-owners' agreement, like that written into the deeds of the old Lauraville Land Company, will be a dead letter, forgotten except for the expose of the humanitarians. How Old Are You? Judging by the way we live, the average young man rarely expects to reach fifty. At sixty, he thinks he has little to live for; and at 65, he faces retirement and dependence upon children or other relatives. Very few people look ahead and seek to visualize what is to become of the... at sixty. They take it for granted that they will be healthy if they live, and that ability to stay young is God's special gift to only a few people. There never was a more family. Make. Here is his life: He have passed their sixtieth year. Think as you read how badly off the nation would be if they had died after they reached three score.... Mr. Kelly Miller is 66, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is 61, Mr. R. R. Moton is 62, Mr. S. W. Rutherford is past three score. Others past 60 include Mr. Warner T. McGuinn, Baltimore lawyer and councilman; Mrs. Anna Malone, St. Louis, manufacturer; Miss Mary Bethune, Florida educator; Miss Lucy Laney, Georgia College head; Dr. Pezavia O'Connell, Morgan College professor; Mr. W. G. Pearson, Durham, North Carolina college graduate; Mr. Harry T. Burleigh, New York composer; Dr. H. H. Proctor and Dr. A. Clayton Powell, New York pastors. These men and women saved health and vitality like other people save money. They shunned overeating, dissipation, alcoholic stimulants, late hours, and midnight revels. They enjoy life today as much as they did at thirty. They have sacrificed nothing in enjoyment of life or in experiencing the good, the true, and the beautiful; and they do not consider themselves old. At sixty, men and women have a right to say that they have only started to live. Those who grow old sooner, have only themselves to blame. Traffic Laws The arrest and conviction of Mr. C. Clinton Uhle (white), chairman of the State Road Commission, for speeding last week, must have caused a snicker among traffic court judges in Maryland. Mr. Uhle was driving at 35 miles an hour in a zone limited to 25, he had no registration card, and was using a car which displayed license tags belonging to another. The commissioner, haled into talk, like many a motorist, gave profuse alibis. He was in a hurry (all speeders are). He had a borrowed car, and all his bags were OK. He had forgotten his registration card (we all do). In addition, Mr. Uhle thought that state officials should not be held to traffic laws; and anyway, other motorists exceeded his speed on the day of the arrest and were not picked up by the state's road police. After digesting all this, the average reader will hope that Mr. Uhle is a better road commissioner than defendant in court. His allibis are of the usual childish variety. He should have said: "Our official must obsolete. The average motorist breaks several every day. "The city speed limit is 15 miles, but most motorists travel from 20 to 30, and from 40 to 60 on the state highways. "There should be but one speed law: 'Motorists shall not drive recklessly.' On straight, wide highways, such as I am building, there is no reason why expert drivers in modern cars should not do sixy miles an hour. In congested traffic, two miles an hour might be reckless. "Most of our traffic laws are out of date. They should be annulled. "Our state police need something else besides lessons in driving motorcycles. They should be trained in courtesy. "We are all forgetful—a motorist who fails to carry his driver's card ought not be penalized as a law breaker." Masons Wake Up!

(Special to the Afro-American) —A great strike of cotton workers is now raging Livelihood of John Bull's 75,000,000 Whites Gained from Sweat of 400, 000,000 Colored Subjects. How English Cotton Workers' Strike Affects Dixie Negro Farmer. By J. A. ROGERS A great strike of cotton workers is now raging in England and all efforts of the Labor Government have failed to check it. A few days ago one of the principal unions, that of the spinners, reelected recommendations made by the executive committee of federated cotton workers, in favor or re-opening negotiations with the owners. The majority of the workers have decided on a fight to the finish, and it promises to be a long-drawn cut affair like the coal strike of a few years ago. England, though happening in far away England, will be news of first-rate importance to Negroes in many ways. By J. A.

The majority of the workers have decided on a fight to the finish, and it promises to be a long-drawn cut affair like the coal strike of a few years ago. This strike, though happening in far away places, has first-rate importance to Negroes, in many ways. How Negroes Are Affected. First it is colored people in America, Nigeria and Egypt, who draw the bulk of cotton spun in England. With no demand for raw cotton by the English mills, there will be a general standing still all around, and there will in all probability be another cotton crisis such as happened a few years ago when chambers of the cotton trade to buy up nearly half of the cotton crop and store it away to keep up the price. This cotton, to the best of our knowledge, has not all been used up yet. in America.

This cotton, to the best of our knowledge, has not all been used up yet. Farmers Depend on Cotton. Thousands of poor Negro farmers and white ones too, are dependent almost, solely on their cotton. Of course, with the English mills unable to supply cotton goods, the American mills will be speeded up. There will be a greater demand for workers in the cotton industry, especially the black ones, very little. The American producers could not hope to fill the gap made by the English strike—at least not for some time to come; for, above all, they would have to find the markets and that takes time. farmers and we were, solely on the English mills and American mills a greater demise of the mills, ones, very little noble not to hope strike—at least, above all, they were that takes time Thousands of poor Negro farmers and white ones too, are dependent almost solely on their cotton.

The American producers could not hope to fill the gap made by the English strike—at least not for some time to come; for, above all, they would have to find the markets and that takes time. Interdependence. And thus is brought home to us once more the inter-dependence of mankind, regardless of color. During our Civil War it was the English spinners who suffered and suffered very badly, because the North blockaded Southern ports and cut off the South's cotton trade. to us once more or regardless of co the English spilt badly, because arts and cut off And thus is brought home to us once more the inter-dependence of mankind, regardless of color. During our Civil War it was the English spinners who suffered and suffered very badly, because the North blockaded Southern ports and cut off the South's cotton trade. England Helped Rebels. Then was witnessed an astonishing sight: England least most to suppress slavery, found her sympathy with it. How she secretly, as well as openly, helped the South in her attempts to break the blockade is a matter of history—help for which England later had to pay a meat sum in damages to the United States. This feet is evidence of an increasing process of industrialization is taking place all over the world and peoples who but twenty years ago felt no kinship with one another are finding themselves compelled to take an interest in each other, for when one suffers, all suffer. Capitalism. Capitalism with its racial, religious and national propaganda, stries hard to keep peoples apart, and tearing at one another's throats in order to enrich itself, but by transporting one product to another at a time, it about an understanding between those two peoples, and thus nullifies its own propaganda. For instance, because the mill owners of Lancashire are unjust to their employees, the Negro cotton growers in the South are not at all aware of the land-owner also suffers. He then and daughter, perhaps, in college, will have to abandon their studies; his wife will have to give up many luxuries and maybe even that trip to Europe. Again, the general public will have to pay a higher cost, whose means a pinch of the sum spent for other things and which means, in turn, that those who sell those other products will raise their prices too. Then was witnessed an astonishing sight: England, who had done most to suppress slavery, found herself sympathizing with it. How she secretly, as well as openly, helped the South in her attempts to break the English England later had to peel out sum in damages to the United States.

England's Great Strikes. England is the land of great strikes, because perhaps in no other country in the world, not excepting France and India, are there such exertions of wealth and poverty. Some few have grabbed all, leaving none for the others. In countries like France, Denmark, Germany, and even the United States, wealth is more evenly distributed. eat strikes, because in the world, are there such y. Some few lw others Germany.

Some few have gravitate towards none for the others. In countries like France, Denmark, Germany, and even the United States, wealth is more evenly distributed. Coal Strike. The coal strike was a severe blow to Britain, and the cotton strike coming on before she has had time to recover, will have a profound effect. The Negro stands to lose by it now, but he will be the eventual gainer. With no goods to offer he will be unable to support England will have a worker hold on world trade. A weaker hold on world trade also means a weaker hold on the darker races.

Exploitation. Exploitation of black men, for instance, is much more necessary to the continuance of British power than the same is for the United States. Of England's 475,000,000 subjects, less than 70,000,000 are white. Without exploitation of black and brown peoples, England's power would drop to that of a man in black. And if Britain were to drop, the United States would be forced to be more liberal towards her colored citizens for colored peoples the world over would be stonger.

In any way one choice to look at it, justice and economic progress march hand in hand. He who wishes to stay on top will be able to do so only by having the under him contented. Formerly the under-dogs were satisfied with fine and cheap articles about race, religion and militarism. They were used as tools by being set one against the other. The unjust individual, race, or nation, sooner or later finds itself facing a strong combination of offended individuals. Its position is about as clear as the position of a pool steps on an aligator's back, believing it to be an innocent moss-grown log.

Right Will Win. In spite of the fine reasoning of some of our modern philosophers there are such things as right and justice. At least the idea is there deep down in our consciousness. The Negro's finest asset has ever been his firm belief that right will win. uring of some thing such as the idea is there the Negro's belief that right In spite of the fine reasoning of some of our modern philosophers there are such things as right and justice.

Exploitation "The only effective attitude for the self-respecting Negro to take in the face of this intolerant exclusive policy, is one of salutary indifference. The most effective response to the defiant fulmination 'Ils ne passeront pas' is, 'Qui le Diabile veut passer?'" "ILS NE PASSERONT PAS." BELLY MULLER Still talking about the color line. The white race has placed flaming swords of wrath along the color line to keep out all non-white intrusion. If the white mind in America has any deep-seated, passionate deter- ment, it is contained in its intolerant, racelist. Religion, science, economics, democracy, all yield to this fanatical behest. Two Marriages I will recite two instances about which I know whereof I speak and speak whereof I know. Two sons of the white gcd became enamored of two daughters of black men. These men were proud of their class ycoonan type. I will call them Virginus and Carolanus suggestive of the states from which they hailed. They were either possessed of a deeper character or smoother face, but they were but the average of their class. Forbidden to marry their ducky lovers by local sentiment and law, they took themselves and their well-beloved to the capital of the nation, duly married by formal ceremony. Isolation Such couples seem to have a sort of fellow feeling which draws them together. In Chicago, they used to have a "Manassas Society," composed of mixed couples, which lived and moved and had its separate social existence apart from either of the contributory races. However, the manassas violated of isolation. Virginius and Carolanus found lodgment in two adjacent shanties at the end of a little street which screened them from curious public gaze. On a Sunday, these two men screened their own homes, the rear of their humble residences, while their respective wives attended their chosen churches or looked after their domestic arrangements. No human eye ever saw man and wife together beyond the limits of the dilapidated fence which enclosed their property. The men went to their work before it was light and returned after it was dark. No Negro knew where they worked; no white person knew where they lived. The power of personal attraction was the basis of social proscription thrust them apart. And so they lived and moved and had their isolated being. Desperate Love The auto-biography of Carolanus must first be set forth. I became his confident. He told me of his life and associations in his native state which also was mine; how he fell in desperate love with a Negro woman of pure unadulterated African type, whom his conscience would not allow his victimize after his death. Thereupon, he resolved to bring her to Washington and join her in legal wedlock. They had no children. He secured employment and was making a decent living. He suffered prescription and isolation by the abundant affection of his faithful spouse which he reciprocated in full and equal measure. He was employed by the same firm, in a mental capacity, by a sort of instinctive racial sense, found out the secret. He was of the grinning, favor-currying kind, and kept his boss informed on the deed of marriage of his own race. This morsel of information was too good to keep. Anglo-Saxon Dander Within a few days, the boss approached Carolanus and engaged him in a nonchalant conversation. "By the way, Carolanus, where do you attend church?" which elicited the prudent response: "Since coming to work, I have saved any church at all." Then after some further trivial talk, "Have you a family?" Carolanus knew the jig was up. His Angle-Saxon dander got the better of his prudence. He turned upon his employer and gave him such a cussing as one burglar would have. But the knew his hour of quittance was at hand. The last time I saw him, he was out of employment, and within a short while, left the neighborhood which never knew him, and what became of his romantic adventure, your deprent saveth not, because he does not know. Not a Mumbling Word. The story of Virginia is still more interesting. He, too, became enamored of a dusky belle of deep olive complexion and coal black hair who would tempt a saxophonist. He would wash in Washington and were wed under forms of both legal and wed sanction. I often saw him coming and going, but he never said a mumbling word. He engaged in business as an independent businessman, supported his wife and children comfortably. They seemed to form a happy and contented circle within the secret, and I would say sacred, confines of their domestic life. There was no external relationship. But Virginius was taken ill upon a day, and thereupon he died. He must have maintained secret contact with his relatives back home. Upon receiving news of his death, he went to the church where his remains back to his native state and buried him among his fathers. To his wife and children and to their race, his burying place remains a profound secret unto this day. This secret remains useful and spected citizens within the circle of their mother's race. Pass Out of Picture Thus did Carolanus and Virginius pass out of the picture. These instances illustrate the duel between the promptings of the heart of the king and the exactions of the social deeds and suggest the tragedy of transition. The adventure of these Southern lovers made no abiding impression on race relations and left the status of dress precisely where they found them. Only Attitude The only effective attitude for the self-respecting Negro to take in the face of this intolerant exclusive policy, one of salutary indifference. The second is the defiant fulfilment "Tis ne passorant mas" is "Quil la Disable passer?" Chips from the Quarry The Proofreader Talks Proreaders and other persons who feel called upon to assist in preventing our language from deteriorating into a mass of slipshaped ambiguities, sometimes think that they are waging a losing battle. Among the conspious evidences of deterioration noticed, is the tendency toward short curtains; of this literary laziness none is more common or reprehensible than the omission of the relative "that," in such sentences as these: "I know I am right"; "I thought he did"; and even, "I saw Sometimes this goes so far as not only to omit the needed "that," but to substitute for it a wrong or meaningless word; for, example, statement by Mrs. Calvin. Coolidge in the American Magazine; she wrote "I could cook a little, but, I must confess IT. I never was a great success" etc. Of course, the word "it" should be "that." While one is not apt to be seriously misled by the examples given, since they are short, the indulgence in such "not-getting leads to statements that often carry the message in the wrong direction: example "Alkahough he has been in Baltimore for only a few months he knows everybody in the AFRO office and mannequins in people in Baltimore be glad" Not until the unwary reader reaches the words, "would be glad," does he realize that he is on the wrong track because the omission "the ways" "THE THAT IS without sln . . . let him cast the first stone." How flat, if not ambiguous or absurd, these passages would sound with the connecting relative omitted. We would gain in more and follow— one were we to read—and follow— more closely our Bible. And a Crowd Looked On An undertaker buried A Fortune, of one of the masonic lodges, in Washington the other day. No wonder the order hasn't the money to complete its unfinished building. Unequally Yoked According to the list of marriages in Washington last week, the Reverend Mr. Loving tied Miss Hart to Mr. Bibhead. People There Must Age Rapidly Miss McMchen's letter in Pat to Pamys last week says: "At Plymouth (England) all clocks and watches up fifty minutes EVERY NUGU." Taking a New Start Seeing in last week's APRO a reference to the late Colonel Young, whose name was given as Charles A. Young, reminds that there is a difference between that every person—especially those somewhat distinguished—MUST have a middle initial, if not a middle name. Nearly every—perhaps every—letter in the alphabet has been completed by making our Colonel Young, though the official records give him none. The "D" became so popular at one time that somebody completed it by making it "Denton". Since the time that we heard our Colonel Young, we shall run down the whole alphabet again, if the late colonel is referred to that often. This gratuitous gift of an additional initial has been bestowed on us by the late Daniel Murray, of Washington, for example. The tendency is all the more curious in view of the fact that a great many distinguished persons of our Presidents, had only one Christian name.

Harris, Republican Candidate for Alderman got the jump on Fred Moore, his independent opponent and fellow editor by announcing the following platform last week. "We want real playgrounds for Harlem. "We propose when elected as we did in the case of Harlem Hospital to fight for the admission of colored doctors and nurses to the staff of all city hospitals, where the color line now operates against them. "We shall seek ways and means when elected just as we did in the case of colored policemen ten years ago to have scores of qualified colored youths become members of the city's fire department. "We propose when elected to have the city force all the public utilities getting their franchise and their lines through the City of New York to cease discriminating against colored citizens in the matter of employment. "We want the New York Telephone Company, which gets millions of dollars from colored New York, to employ colored girls as operators and colored men as clerks and artisans to work in the city, other nationalities in New York. "We want the Western Union and Postal Telegraph Companies, especially in Harlem supported by the colored clerks and messengers as they do in Chicago instead of discriminating against them in favor of white boys not citizens, six feet tall and sixty years of age, the New York City Company, especially in Harlem where they are supported by colored subscribers, to employ colored clerks, collectors and artisans, and the City of New York, dominated by the City of New York and the elevated and surface lines to be forced by to the city to cease refusing to employ colored men as motormen and conductors. We to see such Chain Stores as the United Cigar Stores and the big Department Stores, especially in Harlem where they are supported by colored people, employ colored people. Honeysuckle Talk Why is the honeycuple most fragrant at evening? Because the flowers sleep by day and wake in the morning to lure the moths to their honey-vacs. Moths are the agents for distributing the flowers' pollen, the life-giving dust which fertilizes the future seed. Moths also perform this service, but the nectar in the honeycuple is beyond the reach of bees, and only the moths the hawk-moth especially, like long, slender. From London answers.

The Senator from Alabama also says that it would be worth 50-000 votes down home to meet DePriest, the congressional restaurants and punch him in the nose. Those who know Congressman DePriest might-add that the Senator would certainly earn those 0000 votes per day for them should such an eventuality take place. The serious side of the matter, however, is that Heflin feels that the South is still being batted in where demagogues ride into office on such an appeal to race prejudice. If Senator Heflin comes back to Washington from Alabama next month, the South is at least, the South is not progressing as much as it seems. Even Senator Helfin is ignorant enough to believe (if he is not ignorant enough to believe) that he could leisurely walk up to a colored congressman, and because he is colored, sock him to receive two socks in return. Will Baltimore Business Men Respond? Announcements at the recent session of the National Business League that an effort would be made to increase investments in a number of cities this year should set every business man in Baltimore to thinking. What the National Business League sees is significant because the present administration of that body has not only been "talking turkey" of late but has demonstrated that things can be done. The country should get in line with the business program being promoted. In Baltimore we have an unusual situation: we well be pleased about it. Our present Business Men's Exchange has no program for the progressive business man, and under its present administration, it is the President, Wm. H. Dodd, is a substantial, highly respected, thoroughly honest. Christian gentleman. But he is out of tune with modern business organization He would be all right as the treasurer or a conservative member of the board, but he is not the person to have the reins, for about the only thing he seems able to do is to tell the boss what to do. Last we be accused of an attempt to slap a worthy man or cause, let us give the detailed reasons why these statements are made that members may form their own judgment; Out of Tune with Modern Methods Take the history of the organization for the past two years. zation for the past two weeks, their activities has been to meet once each month and spend from two to three hours listening to five officers, three of them paid, go over and arrange to the building loan and upkeep expenses on two buildings. In fact, they have little meeting of stockholders who are buying two dwellings and calling themselves the Business Men's Exchange. Despite the fact that members pay yearly dues, they cannot vote for officers, unless in these dwellings, and their dues money is applied, not to helpful business expansion but to keeping up the building association dues on the buildings and paying stockholding officials' salaries. During the last two years groups of progressive business men have attempted to have the organization to adopt some modern programs with the result that Mr. Dodd and his stock-controlling associates have turned down the follo A proposition to have the organization ally itself with the National Negro Business League. A proposition to use the use of its office room for the housing of a committee representing a joint cooperative program to be worked out with the Business Association (white). Personally, Mr. Dodd states that he does not believe in advertisement and understands the principle so little as to say that he HAS BEEN ABLE TO ADVERTISE. No Forward Movement During the last two years, not one movement has come out of the Business Men's Exchange looking to cooperative buying for life and not one effort to bring a new enterprise to Baltimore. While organized Chicago, for instance, was turning stones to induce the public to life Insurance Company to come to that city with its hundreds of jobs, not one thing was being done to bring it or some other such concern here that Baltimore boys and girls might have opportunity. It would seem to be about time that business men in Baltimore take a forward step. By all the rules this step should be taken under the Business Men's Exchange, if they will let it be done; but if they will not, then the only alternative, it would seem, would be a new movement to completely organize the business interests of Baltimore and help put the mass behind them.

Pajamas and Overalls Get Stares in North Carolina Times a Day—No Alarm Clocks—Bathing at Night BY GERALDYNE DISMOND. What is New Vacationing at one of North Carolina's Smart Beeches SEABREEZE, N.C.—Ever since I announced to Harlem and the world that I would journey to North Carolina for a summer vacation, my sanity has been questioned. For some reason quite beyond me, I am supposed to be incapable of enjoying my form of amusement that is not sophisticated to the 9th degree. And I have discovered that North Carolina has a reputation for being nothing but a simple. Consequently no one could do out how much in my night mind and three weeks at Seabreeze.

HOTEL MEN Cooks and Waiters Would Hold All Jobs they Have. No Servility; Care in Handling Food Urged. CHICAGO, Illinois, (ANP) —With the idea of protecting the jobs now held by Negro hotel employees in our jobs, the National Association of Colored Walters Cooks and Hotel Employees in launching upon one of the most progressive programs ever undertaken by an association of workers, according to an announcement made here by the executive committee of the organization. The association which has recently closed a successful convention in St. Louis, Mo., boasts of branches in practically every large city and a large membership. Under the administration of the new president, Ralph Rowland, and secretary-lap, a year ago, a nation-wide event was prosecuted. Service will be stressed in this program, according to the national secretary. "Service in the hotel or dining room is not servility," Mr. Dunlap pointed out, "as is common, posed but rather as art or profession of extensive study and preparation." "Believing in this fact," continued the secretary, "it is our plan to establish 'service schools' in our branches where men will be trained, when the best possible service and cleanliness of person and dress will be duly emphasized. Dress is as much a part of service as the handling of food. A waiter should be just as careful about dress for the dining room as for a formal affair given in his home or in a public office." Immediately after the first of September the general program will become active the country over when National Organizer Boyce begins field work organizing new chapters in the southern and central states. U. S. TELLS HOW TO GRAFT TREES WASHINGTON. — Information for the ordinary planter who wants to propagate fruit trees and shrubs by any of the artificial means is contained in Farmers' Bulletin 1567-F, Propagation of Trees and Shrubs, just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Copies are free. Write U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. There is no reason, according to the bulletin, why anyone with a general knowledge of trees can not propagate them. Cuttings are used to reproduce like plants of many varieties of ornamentals, also some of the fruits. For practical purposes the plants so reproduced are similar in all respects to the mother plants, although bud variants or "sports" appear occasionally. Layers are useful in propagating many woody plants, especially when only a small increase is required. Grafting and budding are means extensively employed for the propagation of varieties that do not root easily from cuttings.

J.-Spectators at the thirteenth annual national tennis championship matches received a thrill here Friday afternoon, about 5 o'clock when an airplane swooped low over the courts and dropped an American flag, to which was attached a sealed envelope. The envelope, addressed to Dr. J. L. McGriff, president of the A.T.A., contained greetings to the press, players and gallery. The plane was piloted by Charles Alfred Anderson of Brew Maw, Pa., who is of the few race licensed operators owning their own plane. When Pilot Anderson was sure that the message had been read, he did a few stunts and sped away. He returned to Bordentown Saturday, bearing Orrin C. Evans Philadelphia newspaperman, as a passenger.

HARLEM TOLD TO VOTE, NOT CRY, BY DEPRIEST Take Leadership, Don't Ask for It, Says Congressman from Illinois. Not Lonesome, But Wants Another Congressman NEW YORK CITY, (AMR) — Stop complaining and ask, was the advice Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, gave some 2,000 Harlemites who gathered in the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Wednesday night. Laughing out into an explanation of how practical politics are played, the Congressman declared: You have a jimmy to better condition himself. Don't complain about race discrimination. Change it through practical politics. Change it by pulling the doorbell of every Negro voter when election comes. Remember that a man who hasn't been Jim Crowed as you have been is never the man to represent you. "Don't complain about being represented by those who are not of your race. Men only deserve political representation when they can acquire it. Don't ask for representation. Take it. You can never get the representation which you are entitled until you can select Negroes of nerve and integrity." "You must select them yourselves. White men select Negroes they can buy. We will never get a square deal until we are led by our own leaders. We have got to get beyond the bread-and-butter stage of economics. A hungry man is too easily bought by a wealthy man. We try to spend money in your district." take their money and beat them, too. I wish some of them would try to spend some money in my district. We would take it from them and send them to the dry cleaners. "When I was up for election last October, I had no opponents said my constituents had no 'business to send me to Congress because I was too dark. "My other opponent said I wasn't fit for election because I was too light. But when I got to Congress and nominated my first candidate for appointment to West Point I picked it the clearest boy I could find anywhere.

Nadinola Bleaching Cream D and ACCLA R GREAT The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, August 31, 1929 Nothing in the New Film "Halelujah" to Elevate the Negro Says New Yorker. To the Editor: Accompanied by my wife, I saw the much advertised King Vidor production of "Hallelujah" from the balcony of the Lafayette theatre. I are a few quotations from the white man's point of view: "One of the most distinguished and exciting motion pictures ever made," brave and daring departure. Applause broke out after individual bits so graphically portrayed." "One of those rare gems; a truly worth while film. King Vidor describes the season's ribbon and awards. The picture is great." I refuse to join the chorus of white praise for "Hallelujah," with nothing in this picture to elevate the Negro. On the contrary, much to degrade him. There is the dance hall scene and its usual quota of crap from the Negro of the cotton fields, and last but by no means least, the stupid preachers and their horde of dumb followers. The white man applauds and calls it a "rare gem." Can you beat it? EDWARD RYAN. 2137 Madison Ave., New York, N. Y. PLAN BIG WEEK AT WONDERLAND FAIR Plans are being rapidly whipped into shape for the first annual Maryland State Fair, which will be held at Wonderland Park, September 16th to 21st. A general review of the progress made by the race since emancipation will be given and special emphasis has been placed on educational and industrial exhibits, a large number of booths having been provided. Special days have been set aside for religious, fraternal and civic organizations and prominent speakers have been invited to attend, among the number being Hon. Oscar DePriest, U.S. Representative of the first Congressional session of the states, and Governor Ritchie of this state. The park has enjoyed an excellent patronage this summer and much of its popularity on Sunday has been due to the free band concerts. Duke Ellington Starred NEW YORK — Dudley Murphy (Universal), although slightly discouraged at the flop of "Halleluja," has just completed a short cinema sketch featuring Duke Ellington and the band The Beatles, as called "Black and Tan Fantasy." Freddie Washington, sister to the famous Iabella, plays opposite the Duke. The impressario is to follow her if it clicks, with "Emmer Jones." TROPIC LOVE DRAMA IS REGENT FEATURE "The Pagan," With Ramon Novarro and Renee Adoree to Play Three Days. SHOW "SONNY BOY" Davy Lee, Juvenile Star, Featured in Comedy-Drama. A vivid tale of tropical life and love, and a rollicking comedy-drama of domestic life, furnish the amusements of the Regent Theatre, next week. For the first half of the week, "The Pagan," featuring Ramon Novarro and Renee Adoree, will be the attraction. The Pagan is a colorful romance of life in the tropics, with Novarro playing a young island chief, torn between the loves of a native sweetheart and a woman from the outer world. Miss Adoree plays Madge, the eldest of the women and Miss Isabel the island charmer. The picture was made in its entirety in the islands, and directed by W. S. Van Dyke, director of "White Shadows in the South Seas." Vivid island scenery, a terrific battle under water with a fierce thrills intersperse the romantic details of the central love story. Native hunting in the jungles forms another vivid and interesting sidelight in the new picture of Boy Scout, shown the last three days of the week, features Davy Lee, the juvenile star, and an excellent supporting cast. The story of "Senny Boy" starts with a tattoo on his arm, all of which Sonny Boy's mother's sister kidnaps him to prevent the father sister kidnaps him away. The piece is light comedy, and Davy dominates it—not by any of the stunts of the movie, but by the cumbersome of shy, trinkling, elfin and unstudied anties.

NEW YORK—In spite of almost unanimous applause on the part of the downtown critics, this department is of the opinion that "Hallelujah," the much touted King Vidor production, is inaccurate, boring and void of merit. Its presentation last week at the Embassy and the Lafayette stirred, naturally, different reactions. Several Greenwich-Villagers, who had witnessed the premiere at the Embassy, insisted that the reception on Broadway was cold and that to their minds, the picture was "lousy." One moment of all the dreary two hours of the film, remains in the memory; it is when Chick "hallelujahs" her way up the church aisle and makes the preacher lay his Bible down.

THE CAST Zeke Daniel L. Hayner Chile Nina Mae McKinney Shoe William Shoe Parson Harry Gryn Mammy Fannie Bille Dekuhn Spunk Everest McGarrity Mom Rose Victoria Spivey Johnson Kids— Million Dickerson, Rebt. Couch, Walter Tait NEW YORK.—Despite the fact that hundreds of race patrons have turned out to view "Hallelujah" at the Lafayette theatre here, the reaction of the race population, as might have been expected, is far different from that of the downtown audiences who have viewed the photoplay at the Embassy. Evangelist Goes Wrong The story of "Hallelujah" tells of a happy-go-lucky plantation Ngo, who finding his crop money gone and his brother dead after an evening of injudicious gambling, turns to the town's revival of the town, he comes across the provocative mulatto dancer as the com- partner of the gambler who originally fleeced him of his crop money, and succeeds in converting her to honesty. He prosecutes her to physical attraction. He tracks down the gambler in the swamps and bayoues of the South, kills him and goes to prison, but the fadeout shows the reunited family happy again in the cotton fields. Actors Praised Of the photoplay, the New York World says. "Hallelujaj" is a fine and simple record of the most emotional race on earth, presenting its story in just that manner. The distortions of the Negro's character that have previously been used to capitalize on his pseudo-humorous mannerisms. "Daniel L. Haynes plays the part of Johnny Chick, played with the over sensual Chick, Miss McKinney, Haynes is a marvelous actor and an excellent singer and acted a difficult part with the proper restraint and the right attitude. We remember as the seventeen-year-old dancer of the late 'Blackbird' is fine throughout. The one bit deserving special commendation, however, is the skiliness with Haynes to find out how much money he has. The hall is extremely crowded and cloudy with smoke, the music is a plausible, demeaning, slow and passionately from side to side, not moving their feet at all, with Haynes's hands playing through her hair and Miss McKinney's head. The question of pretension about us we non-climitatively praise it as quite, quite effective. "Victoria Spivey as Miss Rosely, the girl to whom Havness finally goes home, was excellent. In fact, all the principals were so well cast that a blank bouquet is hereby tossed to all." Earl A. Bellard, race writer, believes that: "While the photoplay has served to give vent to the innate ability as actors to the principal characters who have won favorable comments from critics, the race has been gruff and misleading mockery of the race's religion. Some say it is blasphemous and had any other race been involved, never would have passed the Board of Censors." One well known Harlem leader had the following to say: **Disgrace and Insult** “Hallelujah is without doubt a Southerner’s remembrance of life. It is a disgrace and an insult to the religious ideals of the colored race of today. It characterizes the group as moral morons and religious barbarians. In conclusion, the picture offers us a glimpse of the past after all such conditions do not generally apply. The blasphemous scenes are believed in those which the Evangelist rides through the town on the back of the horse. The city enters the city of Jerusalem.” “However, Hallelujah earned one favorable comment to which all seemingly have agreed, the superb and entertaining minister; Nina Mae McKinney; the artful cabaret舞; Fameli DeKnight, as Mammy; and Harry Gray, the white haired old parson, the testify to the artistic ability of the colored race on both stage and screen.” **Race at its Worst** Labeling the film as a “sordid colored preacher metrodram” John T. Gray, the writer in the N.Y. News (weekly). "King Vidor of Texas has revealed only the worst and most discreditable phases of the life. slum and culture in the thirties is a cultured, respectable devout christian, progressive life there which Vidor probably never saw. "This stands out in fact in bold relief. The religion in the race is the most important in a state of nature. While 'Halleulah' gives great opportunity for the race artistry, it undeniably pictures the group as moral morons and religious barba- Falls in Purpose Betty Colaf, white, of the N.Y. Graphic, believes that: "This Negro melodrama, rich in authentic atmosphere of Alabama cotton fields, humble cabin life, leaves moonlights, darktown high note of hysteria, is a remarkably vivid production built on an inferior plot so conventional—as to fall partially in its sincere and ambitious purpose."

"We endorse non-admission to undesirable theaters, black or white. But we resent the fact that all Negroes are classed as undesirable. When we go to the movies we like to feel as though we are going to enjoy ourselves, 'mild pleasant' and congenial surroundings. We would like to throw in the worst element on earth because we wish to see a show."

At present with 117 graduates from all medical schools each year, we have 90 internships in class "A" hospitals, declared Dr. Greene. Of this 90 internships, 80 are in colored hospitals, while ten internships are open in white first class hospitals. This leaves 27 who chance to do the general required one year hospital work necessary to making a practical and first class medical man. Four Hospitals Plans have been made to establish four class "A" hospitals and bring four others now in existence up to class "A" standing, curing the next three years. Dr. Greene says that the same standard set by the national classification organizations for white hospitals is being maintained by his organization for race institutions. Some time ago, it was proposed to use a different rating for colored hospitals so a larger number of them might get more favorable rating. This has been insisted that the national body use the same rigid measurements as used for the whites. Provident Hospital Although Provident, Hospital here has not received an "A" rating yet, it is among the four on the conditional list and no doubt will be included within the next three years, he said.

How shall we solve the many problems of marriage? What shall we do about divorce? Do parents display sufficient intelligence in regard to the sex life of their children? Shall the object of sex be procreation or recreation? What ought we tell our children? Should sex be a feminine as well as a masculine pleasure — a nd how? Why are people prudish? Is there any such thing as an illegitimate child? Is Birth Control desirable and necessary? Is lack of sex satisfaction driving people insane? Why do attitudes toward sex differ at various times and in various climes? Why and when is marriage a failure? How soon does a child learn about sex? Is sex jealousy foolish? These and a thousand other questions about our sex life in modern society are being asked by millions of thinking people today. Certainly these questions demand answers. People's minds are in a muddle. They are confronted with problems they find it difficult to solve. What hall they do? To whom shall they go for advice? Young and old, we all want to know the answers to these very intimate questions. It is useless and foolish to say that such questions aren't nice. Ladylike or gentlemanly; that it is immoral to ask them. People ask questions because there are certain forces in society and within themselves that make them cry for satisfactory solutions to these difficulties. In response to this widespread demand for authentic information on every phase of sex life the law company Law Company, for the City publishes, has recently published a book entitled, "Sex in Civilization". It is probably the most comprehensive work of its kind that has been published. It shows the views of the leading authorities on sex in the United States and abroad, with an introduction by the best known scholar, the historian Havelock Ellis. By V. F. Calverton and Samuel D. Schmalhausen, it contains 719 pages of information, including biographical sketches of the authors, a bibliographical index, and a first time history, then, it is possible to find within the covers of one book a summary of the most expert information and opinion on sex and ever-interested sex of sex. To attempt to go into a detailed discussion of each of the thirty chapters would justify the writing of a other book. But such a noisy and certainty not desired by the reader. What is wanted, doublesl, is a sort of summary that will give the reader an outline of the contents of this monograph, work that, despite, dollars for more than dollars. This I shall shortly attempt to do. Contrary to general belief, sex attitudes have been quite as variable and changing as clothing fashions and governments. As a result, the mother has been the head of the family and some times the father. At some periods and in some countries, people have worshipped and the genitalia has been altered, such practices have been repugnant. Suffice to say however, that all of our present day religions and many of those that have gone into oblivion that their origin in sex worship and many of them still contain much of sex symbolism. These things can be easily understood when it is explained that ear or so-called children are presented in the change of seasons and the growth of crops. They looked upon Nature as a bountiful Mother-God; and though that the grains and fruits were her children along with the human Because of the moon's regular rotations, they used it as the basis of their calendars and understood its influence on the tides and its impact on the moon. Moonlight it was the喜庆 of fertility and procreation, the chief representative of Nature. This was the beginning of religion among most of the primitive peoples. The dances and ceremonies with which she was worshipped were all equally social. These early societies were communal. Usually descent was traced from the mother only. The father was of secondary importance, hunting grounds and villages streams and grounds by individuals but by the clan and the tribe. There was no private property as we know it, except in the possession of brisk weapons and clothes. There was no money and government was very simple. Women were the equals of men in everything. In many cases they ruled the tribes. Men did the hunting and fighting; women hunted and cared for the home. In some cases there were problems of sex but not many, and those were easily solved. All children belonged to the tribe so there was no such thing as illegitimate children. divorce was a matter of mutual consent; these were savages realized that it was unjust to force people to live together who did not care for each other no matter for what reason. There were hardly any crazy or "funny" people; because, realizing that these were medical illnesses and diseases were derived almost wholly from unsatisfactory sex training, these "savages" took the boys and girls at adolescence and put them under instruction of wise old men and women who taught them all. But it was to know about being lovable and caring to husbands and mothers. With the growth and development of these primitive societies (a few centuries ago corners of the globe), came the domestication of animals, struggles between tribes over land and hunting tribes over water and the capture of prisoners, their war as slaves after a period of cannibalism dur- tion, which they were added to the tribal warrior—and finally the birth and growth of the institution of private property. Instead of working and fighting for the tribe, men primarily sought to By George S. Schuyler. look out for themselves. They were reluctant to die and leave the fruits of their struggles to society, and out of this desire grew the paternal family, headed by the father and in which the mother was subordinate. Equality of the gender was to ensure. The subjugation of women began. In the subsequent struggle for wealth and power between men, the women became their chattels instead of their partners, and so it has large- The reason for this is clear to the student of economics and sociology. The way in which people make their living and the organization of society arising from the laws, literature, morals and religion of society. So long as there was economic equality, there was also sex equality. When economic equality followed it. In most civilization this inequality of the sexes is still apparent in the laws and customs. The woman has had to take second place. The children have been given more rights. The man has been recognized as the head of the family. His word has been law and our Christian marriage ceremony makes the wife responsible for marrying the husband to swear likewise. In a civilization where private property was God, women came also to be looked upon as chatties with no more rights than a slave. They were considered the husbands who were also supposed to be their lords. The husband could associate freely with other women, even in some cases introduce other women to the household, but the wife of God had to obey the laws and customs were man-made. The wife had to follow her husband wherever he went whether she wanted to or not and do whatever he commanded without regard to her own choice. A woman, a dog and a hickory tree. The more you beat 'em, the better they be. was an old English saying of the 16th century that expressed the attitude of the time toward women. In old England a husband could sell or buy a wife at will, and one of the contributors to this book points out that as late as 1884 women were sold in English market places. In brief women became the legal and sexual slaves of men and their slave-masters was approved by all of the Christian leaders from St. Paul on down. With the invention of machinery and the rise of commercialism and the industrial revolution in the west, empires were established, the ruling business classes. The main object in life came to be, not enjoyment but money make: Men were taught above all to work hard, to live life aside until they had accomplished that end. Accordingly, and in line with the economic interpretation of history, everything sexual was became limbs. Statues were draped. Women about to become mothers were confined. Women must affect to be ignorant of any sex technique, as experience compelled them to commit sexual looseness. Whether the marriage was satisfactory or not to the wife made no difference. Divorce is not only the result of ill health and later only for adultery. The sexual suppression induced by the struggle for wealth and position, brought about a great degree of ineptitude and impotence amqing marriage, coupled with the unnatural state of oblivion and the houses of prostitution, made life for most wives a lonely and miserable existence, and accounts in a large measure for that state of mind which smug and satisfied men are pleased to call This unhealthy and pernicious attitude toward sex and all things sexual was transferred in urticaria each generation. This trend almost in the middle by shouts and frowns the youngsters were taught that anything connected with sex was wrong, sinful, and bad. As a result of this early training, the institution and repressed, neurotic and sexually unfit. The contributors to "Sex in Civilization" show that directly as a result of this early training, the economic struggle and the wild economic struggle between men introduced by the industrial revolution, the majority of married women's sex lives are threatened, and that insanity is rapidly on the increase; that sex perversion continues to grow by leaps and bounds; that the damental change in sex satisfaction is more than sex dissatisfaction; that sex jealousy is primarily due to the private property complex of men coupled with the secret knowledge of their sexual ineptitude or impo Furthermore, it is shown that vast numbers of marriages are spied by the unhealthy attitude toward sex taught to children by family and friends, and this inequality the sexes, subordination of women, the property concept applied to sex, and the repressions induced by ignorant sex training our country and life something nightmare. Happily counter forces are always at work. With the growth of the industrial system, the lessening importance of women, the sexual wages between the staff and employees and the exalting of the democratic dogma, came the introduction of women into industry and finally the chisement of the final stage sealing the economic independence. Men were no longer able to support a home without assistance. The standard of living was outstripping the wage scale, had to work in industry and help share the economic Women could now earn their own living and wouldn't tolerate the old-time dictation from men. Their range of sexual boundaries burdened their widened couple's opportunities. The old standards of modesty went by the board. Short skirts, bobbed hair, rouge, powder, lip stick, formerly considered the second universally into women. Women began to openly flirt with men as men had formerly flirted with women. And why not? Were the sexes economical? With the ability women to earn her own工资, would one stop her pressing the same rights and privileges as men? Man-made laws servatives howled their condemnation. Clergymans said the world was going to the devil. Philosophers and deep thinkers shook their heads dulously. But the sexual revolution is still continues. More people are studying sex and all its ramifications. than ever before. Women openly criticize men for their shortcomings. Females hold political office, vote and work alongside men on the job. They insist on being treated as equals and are treated as equals to an increasing extent because they are no longer dependent on men for their daily bread. Even women who are so dependent it is well known that it is through choice and is not compulsory. Divorce laws are being liberalized. The changes are slow but they are being made. At the present time the most liberal divorce laws are in Mexico and Russia where divorces are granted upon request. This group is the almost every thinking person nowadays realizes that it is criminal to compel two people who do not love each other to live together. And even where only one person is dissatisfied, it is important to have children. Children are being taught the truth about their bodies and how they function, and no longer do parents of enlightenment attempt to keep sex knowledge from their offspring, forcing them to get such from them. It is universally felt to be a necessity and there is a widespread agitation for the general teaching of it to married couples and all who seek the information. A new attitude toward children born out of wedlock is also being born out of society is realizing its duty toward them. The contributors to this excellent volume feel that these social trends should be expedited, not only for the good of society but for the good of humanity. The good of humanity can be no same sex life in our civilization unless by law and custom men and women are equal - unless they are partners and pals in every sense of the word. To this end a calm and unhypnotical study of the social trends only desirable but absolutely necessary if society is to retain its health and sanity. Stormy Career of Jack Johnson Stormy Career of Jack Johnson JACK JOHNSON—In the Ring and Out. By Jack Johnson, former World's Heavyweight Boxing Champion. Published in Chicago, address will be furnished upon request. The name of Jack Johnson is almost as tamarin in every corner of World's heavyweight nets, colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. That he should write his memoir, seems entirely nefitting; first, because he has figured more prominently in making pugilistic history, the great John L. Sullivan; secondly, his experiences and adventures crown him the most picturesque figure in sports history. Bloody, hair-raising and passively dangerous, passively unrequited, love-wide and necrous travels, dangerous adventures, thrilling incidents and an account of contacts with the most extraordinary and illusorious persons—all of these engage the reader's attention from beginning to end. The author's style is frank, warm and intimate. Nevertheless, he manages to remain at a sate distance from personal utterness, thereby writing an unremarkable true story of career. The cook is prefaced with introductory articles by Ed. W. Smith, widely known sports crutic, and referee, B.

However, this did not deter the young fictic genius, for he soon boarded a 1-light at his home to77 Galveston, and summed up stowaway all the way Brooklyn. Upon his arrival in Brooklyn he was astounded to find innumerable Steve Bredies, all of whom enced bert on making his quest for fully frutile fruits. He did this with footwear and footwear younger who, never ending his search wandered into New York, where 'I met the notorious Chuck O'Connor, then known and feared as the mayor of the Bowery, befriended me in occurrences. From New York, he journeyed to Boston, and worked in the stables of the Back Bay elite. One day, while exercising, he was struck. This served to remind him of the safety of his mother's hearth, so as soon as he was sufficiently recovered, he returned to Galveston. Johnson was then sent to far removed from the incident that established confidence in his fighting ability. One day his sister Lucy urged to join him, and of exceedingly discouraging proportions, Jack was attacked in the streets by a man considerably larger and older than himself. His courage for excuses to evade the encounter when his sister came along and literally shoved him into the midst of a distressing exhibition of the fistfight. He was doubt for several moments, Jack emerged the victor, having vanquished the opposing giant. This served to boost Jack to the position of event he received his first confidence, a fighter. The author's youth was subsequently crowded with a series of bloody battles, culminating in a contest fought by Pierre. This tough was respected and feared (mostly feared) for miles around. Jack was then but sixteen while Pierson was a grown man, now a cowboy, and their beating recieved by the latter was such as to put him into utter oblivion. From that day Jack was known as "Lil Artist" and name later written as "Loudie" or "Tad", the famous artist and cartoonist. At seventeen years of age, Jack fought one Klondike, name later known as "Tad", the famous speedily in the races. The races took many purses from the ambitious youngster. Jack's hectic jail career began early, after forrowing out of jail, but which caused him to be lodged in jail for violating the Texas anti-boxing law.

An Unsolved Negro Murder Case By John P. Moore From time to time the Illustrated Feature Section will publish a series of unsolved Negro murder cases. Cases which have baffled the cleverest of police departments. These are highly interesting and offer an opportunity for the reader's imagination to be used in formulating probable solutions of these cases. HE story of Mary Vivian Barlowe and her tragic assassination in 1910 properly commences in the first part of 1889—a story that weaves itself into a tapestry of mystery. 1 THE STREET CAFE The house where the Barlowes lived. On January 10, 1889, John and Mary Barlowe, just married, were preparing to settle down in their modest little home in Aberdeen, N.C. To this union, a year later, was born one child—Mary Vivian Barlowe. It seems that this little girl brought an atmosphere into the Barlowe home that held its parents together for about five years. Afthat, things changed. Six years of married life made of John Barlowe, a very discontented husband. This spirit he injected into his home, which he had nearly brute. Finally, in a fit of raging anger, the man stuffed some things into a suitcase, cursed his wife and child, and disappeared. He has never been heard from since. Little Mary Vivian was five years old then; she couldn't understand what another sufferer of mental death Under the burden of this disappointment, Mrs. Barlowe finally lasped into a bitterness that resulted in a lowering of her morals; a bitterness that led her to leave Aberdeen and seek solace in the bizarre life and companionships that probably hastened her death in 1907. She leaves our story in Hamlet, N.C. Mary Vivian was around seventeen years of age then, presumably a comely little person; but her bitter-hearted mother had been too busy seeking forgetfulness to properly prepare her for the life she had to Lice. Mary had seen too much of her mother's life. So there was left upon an already burdened society, a young woman with an abnormal knowledge and a feeling of complete independence. Already she was a woman in her mind. Little is accurately known of Mary's life during the seven or eight months after her mother's death; but it is known she was shepherded on earth, 1500—with a man, who came to be known as Mary's husband. Jim Barlowe. It might be well to remember that he was using her last name. She settled in the two rooms on the second floor of No. 10 Hall street, they drew about them a host of friends and enjoyed themselves thoroughly, the man having found employment at the Norfolk and Worcester mills. Before many weeks, Mary found employment with a wealthy family on Freemason street. She was a little over eighteen years old then, apparently contented with just a nut "food timey". She liked her par- a live-wire. ties, her todies, and so on. She was the family for which Mary worked employed also a house man, a young man of good reputation and standing. He was Robert Mosely. He was not married, and from the tales he fell on Mary Barlow, it is natural to imagine, he thanked his God that he wasn't. Robert Mosely fell hopelessly in love with Mary. He was quiet about it at first, but before many weeks he succeeded in getting his case wrong the girl and from all the ways they both fell into a made low, affair. This intense relationship, if it can be termed such, developed and grew into a romance that became for both of them, a wild initiation, and for the man, because polide; and more defiant. We will not be far off the mark if we consider this the one and only soul affair of Mary's life. It was genuine. It was kept secret for nearly two years. He took the supposed husband, did not get wind of what was on going until one night in January, 1910. For some reason, he took it into his head to meet Mary, the supposed acquaintance her home. He left Hall street, reached Cumberland, then walked on toward Freemason. He came in sight of Mary and Mosely standing on the corner of a lane, so engrossed with each man, neither bothered a man who connecited himself in a shadow nearby. That was the end of the romance. THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM In a minute or two, the fellow flew into a rage, exposed himself suddenly to the lovers, and proceeded to give Mosely a sound beating. Mary screamed and ran toward home, leaving the two man hurling for proximity at each other. It is said that when her supposed husband reached home that night he beat her severely also. But Jim Barlowe, as he called himself, was still in the dark as to Mosely's name, and his place of employment, and whatever plans the two lovers made in the mansion on Freemason street during working hours will forever remain unknown. We will skip over the next few days and take up the story again 01 January 10. That morning Mary arrived at her place of employment at the usual hour, about seven-thirty. She worked all day and finished at the usual eight starting for home and eight eight clock—a jal, black January night. Mary Vivian Barlowe was never seen alive again! old man he called the name of John Wilkinson, and died upon her dead body lying in a vacant lot three blocks from her home and notified the police immediately. Her throat was slashed from ear to ear, two known persons who might have hated or loved Mary enough to take her life—the man who called himself Jim Barlowe, and Rory McCarthy, the inquiry into the death all three, including the man who discovered the body, proved their innocence. The old man proved by a number of bourbons in a barb shop on Queen street at the time of the murder, which was set at eight o'clock, and that he was making a short cut home at the time of the murder. Robert Mosely, who presented a picture of remorss, proved that he served his employer a whisky between 8:00 and 8:15, eating his own supper, and then chemically after it was dismissed. Jim Barlow proved without a doubt that he was in a saloon from 7:00 until 9:00. The officer who arrested him as he entered the saloon about 9:40 and that he was whistling. Thus all three men went free. His innocence proven, "Jim Barlow" immediately disappeared. Why? Was he some revenging woman's erring husband? How did he come into Mary Barlow's life and under what circumstances? How would you questions that will probably go down the ages unanswered. THE END The CREEPING THING A Story of Gruesome and Haunting Mystery By Cora Jean Moten The Well-Known Serial Writer SYNOPSIS THERE BAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF GRUESOME MURDERS in SELWYN HOUSE. They have they have a mysterious addition to the house. It was built by old Erra Selwyn years before, on the floor where his young bride, Mary, has been lost in the voodoo jungles. The tragedy has made him an alien, and he lives alone save for his two Haitian servants, Dilaren and Henri himself is the first one murdered. Each murder is preceded and followed by a body being dragged over an ennue surface. But there are no entrances to the room large enough to body and no apparent hiding places. The bodies have disappeared one by one in an effort to investigate the mystery, detective Alane Hardware, who is killed in an effort to investigate the mystery, detective Frederick and his friend and co-worker, Alice Jones, until the undertaker, Al Jarlson, comes next day that body is stolen from the undertaking establishment, presumably by Garland Selwyn, the mother of a Haitian voodoo priestess. The bodies have all been scalped and, after the mysterious disappearance of old Meme's body, an Indian scalping knife is found with a few strands of long black hair attached to its blood-stained blade. Detective Frederick and Al Jarten subsequently interviewed Diaron, who attributes the Selwyn mystery to Zombies, which he claims are supernatural beings which often act in this manner. Diaron is so sincere in his belief that this will account for the Selwyn house murders, that detective Frederick and Al Jarten regard the tale as very carefully. In the meantime, it is discovered that Garland Selwyn has suddenly left the Beal House on Malone street, where he had been lodging. Detective Frederick and Al Jarten then make an appointment with Alec Jonas to confer at the Beal House. The three of them meet there in order to find out more about the suspicious movements of Garland Selwyn. Detective Frederick and his associates found a clue at the Beal House. They also find that Garland Selwyn has left suddenly with an old woman whose identity is unknown. In the hope that he will discover further clues, Detective Frederick engages Garland Selwyn's empty room. He then finds a body, sirpated and bound mysteriously, in the Beal house. Alec, his companion, drives up in a Ford but disappears mysteriously. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. INSTALLMENT XI EELING like one drunken Amanda Beal fell into my arms. From the open door behind her came the sound of scuffling, fleeing footsteps, but they died away without the appearance of any other human being emerging from that yawning front door of Beal House. The terror that had sent me automatically toward an investigation of that which had terrified me, still gripped my very soul. Yet, I would not own myself beaten. I held the limp body of the owner and occupant of the house before me in a firm if somewhat tremulous grasp. The rain still fell in a lessening drip—drip of slackening force. The faint moon again rode high in a clearing vault of blue-black. After the first wild searching of the scene about me for some other human presence, I turned my attention to the woman in my arms. She had fainted, and I was in the day went home at night. It would be many hours before she was supposed to return for the new day's duties. In spite of the unknown terrors to which I might be exposing myself and in spite of the fact that that rigid body that I had glimpsed for one dreadful moment in that upper room. I started toward the open door before me. Half dragging, half carrying the limp form of Amanda Beal. I came at length to the threes Mysterious Help As I struggled to lift her across that threshold I sensed rather than saw the pair of arms outstretched from the door. I did not request to permit the help. Terror had reached the point with me where it could do no more, was beaten and edged to death, so I had to follo- through to the end. It was not until I was inside the hall that I relaxed my own hold. Then "Sahir" the person who had aided me uttered. With the perfect obedience of an automaton I paused in the shadowed darkness, holding my breast long moment after long moment in the station, the inert body serious companion and the inert body supported between us. Then in a low-voiced whisper that carried in a strangely-familiar manner the words to my ear, my companion spoke again. I still carry the body. He is at his old tricks and we must be quick or it may be too late. Make no sound and leave the doors behind you. We may need to go out very quickly. Now somewhere in the darkness about us we heard a faint creaking. The voice ceased, abruptly. The creaking stopped immediately. We stood still for a minute, but of course their indication of another human presence in the gray-black shadowy Cautiously and carefully, guided by my dummy-season companion, I advanced toward the back and followed a slight hindrance, careful after a slight hindrance, careful and misleessly he freed one hand and opened a door. The darkness enveloped the room beyond. With a motion that I interrupted to mean that I was to follow him, of our common bench I entered. I knew by my memory of the room when we had traversed its width. Somehow I was not surprised that no indication came to me. There was another silent pause, and another darker source vanished suddenly before us. I knew that the room we had traversed was the dimest of the room. I had sat at the Alcoc and Al Jardin. I knew also that in the direction we had gone there had been no visible opening. Putting my knowledge of these things with what I knew, knowing opening was a secret passage. Where it might lead I did not know. Who was that led me. I knew not either. But once embarked on this journey, I terminated to keen and all I knew some down. We stepped inward and down. Tango for a long moment we stood thus in the silence . . . the inert body supported between us. for a long moment we stood thus in the silence . . . the inert body supported between us. The darkness had taken on an added quality of denseness. I knew that we were in a descending passage although the inline was very gentle and devoid of steps. It was a gradually sloping pathway of hard packed earth. My companion was close inside seemed to be familiar with it even in the blackness away from silence, He had unmerging and without hesitation, as if he knew there was no danger of mistay. We had proceeded so for perhaps the first time it seemed an age to my suspense sharpened senses, when I thought I heard a faint sound behind me. Evidently my companion heard a sound perhaps an abdomen he quickened his steps. I felt a slight difference in the direction of the path. It was rising more steeply than it had fallen. The woman's arms began to visibly tremble. denser, he the beam backward and from side to side at intervals. Then, when he had reached the final boundary that separated the wide space of the forest-grown confines of Beal House grounds - on the highway, he paused and turned toward me. "I didn't know you were in on this thing," he said, abruptly and bit belligerently, and had hoped to handle it by myself—believe, from the nature of things I could do it better." It seemed to me that there was a set of considerations in the man's words—consideration and concern. "I don't know just what you mean heard a sound perhaps an abdomen he quickened his steps. I felt a slight difference in the direction of the path. It was rising more steeply than it had fallen. The woman's arms began to visibly tremble." "Be careful there . . . steps there," The whisper checked me. I eased my part of the move and now I was comfortable position for climbing and set my feet carefully on the first step of a short stairway. There was a brief period of climbing, there was a slight pause and then an oblong square that I knew was a door glimmered through the blackness. As we stepped, I felt a movement that freed her entirely from our grasp. A smothered cry accompanied the movement. It was cut off by the hank of my companion across I blinked in the half light and recognized the man who had guided me to Varan, the coron r. The place was the outhouse whe c. I had recently left my packing case when I found the ladder from the room at Beal House. As Dr. Varan looked at me, I saw that he was as surprised as I had been. "Wh-, wh- he began in. He was so shocked that he cut short by a sudden noise from the entrance to the subterranean pass, c by which we had approached the corner, my obviously unsuspected identity, the coron seemed even more concerned to evade the presence of the persons or person who might be in the heel of the approaching sounds. Amanda Beal, who had suddenly seemed to gain assurance with her eyes, was so shocked by the covery of our identity, was equally alert and seemed to be perfectly in accord with the jig bronze yellow doctor, who was quietly and swiftly through the silently opened door. I followed. Outside, the night was still heavy with shadow but the rain had ceas- Without words, I sped after the two persons whose mysterious actions I felt sure had reason and meaning behind them—reason and meaning that would eventually lead me to the solution of the horrible mystery of Selwyn House, its octagonal tower room, and the mysterious and sinister murders so recently and unpleasably committed by what, for lack of other name, we all culed The Creeping Thing. In less than the time it takes to tell it, the three of us were once again in the shelter of the wood which I had traversed a few short hours before. Uppermost in my mind was the question of Alec. Was he lying somewhere out in the night wounded and alone or—I hesitated to formulate the thought in my own mind—was he perhaps beyond all human hope or aid, another victim of the dread thing that held the entire community in its grip? Who had driven the dilapidated Ford in which I had confidently expected to find the companion of my youth and manhood at the steering wheel? Who had been blowing the horn and then had so mysteriously disappeared as I started to climb inside? While these questions were running wildly through my mind, I was following the strangely swift and certain flight of the two persons ahead Dr. Vantat, once within the safety of the green had produced a bright with which he charted our way. At length, as the growth became denser, he threw the beam backward and from side to side at intervals. Then, when he had reached the final boundary that separated the wide space of the forest-grown confines of Real House grounds on the highway, he paused and turned toward me. didn't know you were in on this, Frederick? he said, abruptly and bitiligently, it seemed to me. I had hoped to handle it by myself—I believe, from the nature of things, that I should be able to me that there was a sort of hesitating consideration in the man's words—consideration and concern. "I don't know just what you mean, I don't know what the mystery of this thing is likely to get my goat, you're badly mistaken. I own it's a hair-raising proposition, but I've had hair-raising exp. I never stopped at the queen look on the man's face. It seemed to me that it was almost one of compassion, but I've had compassion without seeing interest but now she spoke. "It isn't the lack of courage we've been thinking about, Thomas," she said. "It's—" she paused abruptly and at some secret signal from Dr. Varaux. "Well, I think we are close to a solution of the whole thing now," the man broke in with a note of authority: "Will you trust to me a new hours, Frederick?" he wheeled and darted a keen, questioning glance in my diary. "I am anxious to clear't' thing up as you are. I have ertain knowledge of scientific facts that you lack and, in the prosecution of what is dangerous procedure and one fraught with many mysterious angles even yet." I stood for a long moment in thought. "I will trust you," I answered at length gravely. Little did I know just how great was to be the test of my faith. I found the wood, I followed Dr. Vargant and Amanda Bea diagonally across the commons. At length I saw looming through the wood, and approached it. I saw a figure rise up from the back seat. It was Dia Huddled beside him was a second figure. As Dr. Varan, focussed the beam from his flashlight casually leaned over the dark cape. Beal as she entered, I saw that the huddled figure was an old, old woman. Her hair, partially concealed by a scarf, the dark cape she was enveloped in, was white as snow. Her lined face was like old ivory, out of which she wore a pair of deep pools reflecting horror, and an eternal fear. Diaron had his arm about the woman as if he were shlding her from that horror. He sat beside the Dr. Vanard without asking questions. He backed the big closed car and turned around. We sped into the dark cape, where clerks swung open to receive us. Diaron came last; still protectingly holding the old woman in the shelter of his arm. I rcalled with Gardent Selwyn and wondered. Once inside, at a low spoken direction from the coroner, Diaron and Amanda Beal turned off into the lower level under the undertaking of the mysterious octagonal tower above. "You will come with me, please, Frederick. There is dangerous work afoot from the outside. Without further concern I followed. At the long narrow corridor, the man ahead paused and turned to me. His manner w: grave and the condescension of his voice. "Frederick," he said, and I did not doubt the serious purpose behind the tone, "I am going to ask you to do a dangerous thing, and I am going to ask you my integrity and in my certain knowledge that there is no other way to deal with this thing.

He was lambasted and belabored in such a fashion that it was weeks before he was able to comfort any comfort in the terrible terrors of his becoming presentable. The challenger was not harmed. This had been one of the easiest fights of his career, though one of the Because of Jack's color, it was then declared that still another fight was necessary before the championship could be claimed. Those who find a champion then appealed to Jeffries to recover the title. At first Jeffries declined to do this realizing that by all equitable considerations he had absolutely no chance to the title. However, after much importing he consented to do the Jeffries traveled up and down the country on the theatrical engagement announcing that he was certain.

Novel policing methods employed by Captain C. E. Mooney of the Northeastern district are credited with preventing a serious racial clash following a free-for-all fight between whites and colored at Wolfe and Biddle streets on last Thursday evening. Instead of demanding an extra detail of police officers to patrol the section, Captain Mooney called two "Mass meetings," one for the whites in the neighborhood and another for the Negroes. These meetings were held in the hearing room at the district police station and were addressed by Captain Mooney and a few of the more level-headed residents, white and colored. Those who attended the meetings were warned against the possible serious results of a renewal of hostilities and were asked to aid in preventing trouble. Other clashes have been reported. Two small boys, one white, started the affray about nine o'clock Thursday evening when they engaged in a fist fight at Wolfe and Biddle streets. Several white men standing nearby attempted to interfere while two young colored men shouted encouragement to the race lad. One of the men objected to the methods used by the whites in seeking to stop the fight when the colored boy is alleged to have been getting the better of his white opponent. One of the white men, who knew the colored boy slightly, talked with him and apparently persuaded him to leave the scene. According to police reports the race lad, whose identity is still unknown, merely went for reenforcements and soon returned. The white man, William Brown, 22 years old, 1989 East Blade street, was apprehended by one of the crowd and asked why he had stopped the fight. Kline, who is slightly deaf, did not give a satisfactory answer, and was immediately pounced upon. Free -for-All This was the signal for the general free-for-all. Bricks, bottles and knives were brought into play and several were cut and bruised. Police report the most seriously wounded as Earl Miskimon, 24, white, of the 500th Infantry Division, was stabbed in the right side. Charles Pfeister, 11, white, 1363 East Biddle street, who was cut by a brick; and Andrew Schaefein of the 1200 block of Durham street, who received stab wounds in the back. Others who required treatment included Miss Mary Pfeister, 23, white, sister of the Pfeister boy; Mrs. Elizabeth Kline, white, 1839 East Biddle street; Presley Nelson, white, 1900 block of Hennessa avenue; William Hennessa avenue; and William Miller, 18, 1725 Bilsworth street. Thomas Arrested Those arrested by the policemen were William Thomas, 18 years old, who was accused by Patrolmen William Hippier and James Schuppel of being the killer of William Miller, who was charged with disturbing the peace. At a hearing Friday morning before Magistrate Thomas F. O'Neill in Northeastern police court, Thomas was committed for court action under $500 bail. He failed to furnish bail. Miller was fined $50 and costs $100 in money with which he paid the fine. He was committed to jail for 60 days. Captain Acts Hearing that members of both races were planning a renewal of hostilities, which the blue coats interrupted on Thursday evening, Captain Mooney decided to use an unusual method to secure peace. He ordered his patrolmen to visit all of the hangouts frequented by whites in the neighborhood and to ask them to come to the western prox station on a book Friday afternoon. In the 75 to 100 whites gathered in the station house at the Captain's invitation and were addressed by him. Warns Whites Captain Mooney warned the white men that he would keep a squad of patrolmen in the station house ready on a moment's call and that any one caught attempting to renew the altercation would be charged with "inciting to riot" rather than merely disturbing the peace. He called attention to the men who were there, many colored in the section as there were whites, and that a repetition of the affair might lead to very serious consequences. Race Group Invited The patrolmen were then ordered to invite in as many colored people as they could find in the neighborhood. This meeting, also held in the hearing room at the station house, was as largely attended as was the meeting for whites. Several women were present. Captain Mooney repeated the talk he had given to the whites and/ advised them not to congregate in groups or do anything else which might lead toward trouble. He suggested that they even refrain from discussing the affair of the previous night and that they report to him anyone who did do so. Pastors Talk Rev. George W. Crawley and Rev. Simon Williamson who reside in the neighborhood, were present and were invited by Captain Mooney to address the group. They suggested that those present cooperate with the police by being "ambassadors for peace." Both the white and colored groups promised the police officials that they would do their utmost to prevent further trouble. To date no further difficulty has been reported. When interviewed by the representative from the AFRO-AMBAN CAN, Captain Mooney stated it as his belief that the killing out of extra patrolmen under the circumstances merely have served as unwillingment to further rioting. The presence of police, he stated, served to keep fresh the feelings and resentment of both races.

It has been my experience that in cases of this sort it is usually the innocent non-combatants who suffer. Had we allowed this ill feeling between the races to continue to itself, the consequences might have been very serious for a host of people who were in no wise involved."

The old-fashioned pound for pound preserves were almost invariably looked upon as a dessert. Few, if any, realized that they were much more. As a matter of fact, a well-sweetened preserve, conserve, jam or jelly, is a jar or glass of winter fuel stored away for the use of our body engines during cold weather. Realizing also that the fruit or berries are containers of valuable minerals, salts and vitamins, it is easy to appreciate the fact that a preserved closure is a combination of a medicine chest, fuel storeroom and dessert closet. We cannot all own fur coats for winter use, but we can supply internal body heat quickly through the medium of sugar, candy, sweetened preserves and such foods. Internal heat is much better than protection from cold as given by the fur and woolen sweater. Without internal heat, the costliest fur may leave us shivering. With sufficient internal heat, it may not be necessary. So purchase summer fruits and berries when they are fully ripened and obtainable at moderate cost, and can, persevere, or pickle them in sugar, as you will. If them are sufficient, you will have on hand, sufficient fuel to carry you over until the balmy breezes of Spring arrive. Of course you may purchase much of the jam and jelly you use, but with a home-preserved supply on hand, you will eat it more often, and be prepared at any time, company that always appreciates that machines plums or berries that mother cans herself. The pound for pound recipe does not seem to be quite as common today as it once was, but the three parts sugar to four parts fruit recipe has taken its place with a vengeance. Here are a few easily followed recipes which you may use between now and late Fall: Plum Conserve Wash and skin 5 pounds blue Damson plums. Cut in small pieces and add 2 cups crushed pineapple. Measure, and add three-fourths the quantity of sugar. Cook slowly until it is a thick clear jam. Add juice 1 lemon and 1/4 pound blanched almond meats. Cook 5 minutes longer. Seal. Pear Preserve Ohio Make a liberal supply of rich syrup, using three-fourths cup of sugar to each cup of water and boiling from three to five minutes. Drop into it the pears, which have been pared and quartered, and a few pieces of stick chinamom, a few pieces of rice, to induce heat and allow to cook gently for from two to three hours, or until a dark, rich red color. Then can and seal. Blueberry Delight Pick over, wash and stem the berries. Add three pounds sugar to each four pounds of berries and heat gently until the sugar dissolves and the juice is drawn from the berries. Cook rapidly until berries are thick and thick carefully in clean, hot jars and seal. Watch for leakages. Pineapple-Watermelon Preserves Boll four pounds sugar and four cups water, with two teaspoons ginger, and juice and grated rind of four lemons, for ten minutes. Add four pounds water-melon rind cups small cubes Simnel for three cups and four cups crushed pineapple and cook 45 minutes longer. Seal in lars. KOESTER'S HONEY BREAD Love Will Find a Way! --for love of the extra Koester richness plus love for this little maiden will drive any fellow to find a way over all obstacles J. P. EVANS QUITS BICENTENARY COMMITTEE Chairman Wilcox Not Inclined to Include Group, He Says. NO ORGANIZATION Too Late to Work Out Creditable Program. Joseph P. Evans, race member of the Committee on Bicentenary celebration of the City of Baltimore, sent in his resignation to Mayor Broening this week. In a statement Mr. Evans declared that evident failure of Chairman Harry B. Wilcox to have the race group participate in any practical way. In the big celebration had made his continuation on the committee undesirable and that he resigned rather than pass through a farcical situation. "I sent my resignation to the Mayor" he said, "because he made the appointment." He made it clear, however, that he was not blaming Mayor Broening, but that, in mitten, he was also responsible that would be to actual participation of the group in the affairs other than attend some of the gatherings. Lodges Not Listed "None of the lodges or units have been actually listed to take part in the parade as far as I know," said Mr. Evans. It was pointed out that while paid secretaryes were on the job to see the wardrobe events including the whites were being whipped into shape the only thing the Wilcox Committee had done so far was to announce that any lodges or units of the group which wanted to take part could apply. No colored children have been assigned to places in the school pageant and as far as is known, the only events include no race groups. Wilcox Talks When the matter of Mr. Evans' resignation was called to the attention of Chairman Wilcox, he declared that Mr. Evans was laboring under a misunderstanding. All of his colleagues had been asked to hold a special memorial of their own and that all Baltimore citizens would be privileged to attend the affair at the stadium. Walter S. Emerson. City Councilman, told the Afro-American that hard work, his colleague, Walter T. McGuinn, were not called into consultation as to plans for having the group participate in the celebration. The city is spending $25,000 to celebrate the event and leaders declare practical organization should have been set up to see to it that the group's history in the development of the city be shown. POLICE PREVENT DUEL Officers of the law arrived just in time last Saturday to prevent what might have been a serious shooting affray between William Butler, 1512 Parrish street, and Harold Butler, 1509 Pressman street.

While the Grays are riding in third position in the league standing they nevertheless, present a powerful threat in blocking the locals from their climb into first place from which they were topped by Hildale.

Pud has been one of the most dependable hurleres, having epecially effective in the pinches. While Lundy has been viewing the game from the bench, due to a spiked ankle, record numbers of dampened Sox infidel may be expected to function with all of the accuracy of the regular quartet.

HARRY WILLS TO FIGHT MEXICO CITY-Harry Wills, the Brown Panther of the boxing ring, who Wednesday filed with the New York State Boxing Commission, have his license renewed, been signed to fight in Cayman Islands, Mexican flag, in a 10-round bout at the National Stadium here, September 15. RACE UMPS USED IN WEST FOR TEN YEARS Kansas City Writer Declares Players Respect Them More Than Whites Experience in the Negro National League, according to A. D. Williams of the Kansas City Call, has shown that Negro umpires have tried better than their white contempora- Answering the question. "What would race ball players do with umpires of their own color, Mr. Williams says." "They would do with the colored umpires as they have with him in the past ten years, abide by the cisions, if forcibly reordered and by the coach employ him. The National league has been using colored umpires to such extent for the past ten seasons and they have rendered about as good service as could be expected at any umpires, so of any color. There are several cities in the National loop where white umpires are used, and to our personal knowledge the white umpires have suffered more harm at the hands of umpires than in the colored umpires. It is that in Chicago alone there have been more white umpires beaten up than all other league cities combined and the colored umpires have experienced less trouble with the players in general than white umpires. "After all the matter of players fighting umpires it not that of color or race. Hoodlums are to be found in all walks of life, and the diamond at times, but its the duty of the club owners and managers to curtail the element. At least, ball players will break loose a intervals, as witness the events of the game. The records show that more fights between umpires and players have taken place in 1920 than at any time in the history of the game. Does color have an effect on the outcome?" It is highly probable that when the moults of the American League have their next confab, the question of race umpires will come in for its full share of discourse. That if race baseball is to survive, Negro umpires must be used, and it should not be hard for the moults to absorb the same idea.

Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON BORDENTOWN, N. J.—Whether you liked tennis or not you must have been the proverbial pessimist if you didn't enjoy the National Tennis Tournament which came to a close here. Saturday attention. Not that some things that were not so palatable did not go on— for we would be lying if we said that they didn't—yet there enough goods things to offset any thing that you might have con- duced not so hot. As usual, a colorful gallery attended the games, and with good weather prevailing, mila faced the opposing team with fury, and believe me, there was plenty of it. On top of that, it can be said with un-Ananias candor that the tennis displayed by the Hamistic descendants was of an un- High up on the green hill, away from the smoke of the dinky train that puffs its waxy laboriously through the valley—high up in temporarily restricted civilization of Arizona, champions held by the people you weren't here you might be in, reading, of some of the things that took place. If you were observant, you learned things like this: Sylm and Jimmy Stocks are the Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig of tennis . . . Ted Thompson's loss to Stocks hinged on a temperament which occurred when a shot that was shot with good to the form occurred in match legs with mosquito walthoug those were numerous . . . vari-colored bandeaus, outvailing the rainbow . . . so busterous conduct outside Edgar Brown's room Friday night that by the Billy Whiskerskers you got up at 3 a.m. and walk down by the river in one of Thompson's rooms in order to indrop his match to Jimmy Stocks now that the bassinet at the Thompson apartment has a tenant . . . and the whisper that the good Edgar of the brown family, has taken a spouse. You may remember (you should, anyhow) that we told you last year of Jimmy Stocks and Hailey Graham the former of Pasadena University and the latter of the University of Chicago. We said then that. Stocks had an edge on Graham, but that the latter's game would improve. Witness then on Stocks, victory over Ted Thompson, who last year nosed him out in a bitter four-set semi-final match, and Graham's defeat of the Filipino star, C. Limjoo. Stocks now have the national tennis star and is understood that he will go to the University of California this fall where he will probably pair with John H. Doe. At Pasadena, Stocks took part in baseball, basketball, and football, in addition to minor sports. This year, it is expected that he will play on tennis the entire year. If he does, watch out, Indianapolis. A tactical error if such it may be called, committed by Alfred Walker, Baltimore junior, may have been responsible for his loss of the title to Nathaniel Jackson. With the sets at 2-all, Walker, instead of taking the short rest period he would decided the cool play better for forcing the recess. He lost the set, six-love. Whether he would have done better had he taken the rest is problematic; for Jackson played a superior brand of tennis all the way through, and is a tough customer. So goes the game of tennis. Say what you will, Edgar Brown's insistence on making tennis a technical game, is a much needed thing. In his fourth set with Stocks, Brown asked for a change of base lines on two occasions. As we were seated so that we got an excellent view of the court, we waited until Cilieh, in one instance a linesman admitted that he did not see a ball in question as he was not LOOKING IN THAT DIRECTION. Gentlemen of the press, as they are called, must live up to their names, and if it is ungentlemanly to suggest the following, we ask pardon. To the rating committee: Please do not wait until next Easter to release the ratings. Poor ratings this year forced some to unsucessfully humiliate the artist as the画 was traced directly to the ratings. If you don't believe it, ask Saitch and Thompson. To the referee and ampire: Maybe you could cooperate a little more closely with the press by making it possible for the summaries of each day's matches to be obtained the same day they are To the gallery: Between now and the next tournament a re-reading of the rules of citiquette for the gallery might prove of invaluable aid, particularly to some of the players. DID YOU KNOW? That on Friday, Ted Thompson played ten straight sets in less than five hours? That Jimmy Stocks won twenty-two straight games, six from Sol Worle, twelve from Dick Hudlin, and four from Ted Thompson? Ted Thompson did not have as much trouble with ball boys as he did in 1928? That when a shaggy dog dragged himself across the court during the Stocks-Thompson match, someone said: "That means Ties loses?" That Edgar Brown's overhead game is his weakest point? That Limjoco served more aces than any other player in the tournament? That when Edgar Brown and Dr. O. B. Williams were playing, someone dubbed the match the "Battle of the Whiskers"? That had Mrs. Gittens won from Miss Ora Washington, there would have been some casualties among the New York contingent? That despite the backgain drive of Mrs. Gittens, it was her forehand drive that conquered Lulu Ballard? That Mrs. Conick of New York, couldn't play unless her legs were bare? That Freddie Johnson, the one-armed tennis player of New York, went as far as the third round, losing to Syl Smith? IT'S JUST TOO TIGHT, as the trainer said when he overflated the football—we mean the outlook for good football in our colleges this coming season. Here it's just a week before the collegians丹 or darn) their proverbial moleksels, whatever they are, and gallivant up and down the white-ribbed grass area. Already the factories are working on the new field, and we won't be surprised next week if the praise agents release a few of their sobs about the "awful holes that will be left in the backfield and line because the brawny griddier upon whom they depended, had a bad summer and will not be back to dear old Jalapi College." But in all seriousness, the football season is sneaking up on us and it not, or the coaches are doing a bit of thinking and planning. At Bordentown we saw C. H. Williams, director of the department of physical education. They are making great plans at his place to entertain the Howard Bisons when they pry off the lid there, October 5. Also at Bordentown were Harold Martin of Wake Forest College; Bill Taylor and Juice Jamison of Lincoln, and Ted Thompson, newly appointed director of athletics at Virginia Seminary. Mates, we're telling you: this battle is a natural, and you can bet your bottom dollar that no lice are going to be spared in making it a humdinger. Already, if news from the training camps is to be believed, the battle has taken on the nature of a grudge fight. They can hardly wait for the bet. My, my, my! The Black Sox are fighting hard to regain the top round of the American League ladder, and whether you know it or not, it is the Hildale team that is proving the greatest thorn in the local's side. When the Sox win, Hilldale wins also, and no matter what the Rossitermen do, they seem to be unable to shake that Darby jinx. And to add to their problems, the locals entertain the Homestead Grays here Sunday. Wow! And such a refined place, lots of our friends bring their girl friends up for a game.

Silver Moons Take Two from Lockes Silver Moons Take Two from Lockes Predict that Non-Title Bout Will Draw Gate of Close to $200,000 Thursday Night. NEW YORK-While it is a non-title affair, indications from the advance seat sale for the Chocolate-Singer fight at the Yankee Stadium, Thursday evening, forecast a record-breaking attendance. Advance reservations have exceeded the $75,000 mark and when the total is figured after the contest it is likely that more than $290,000 will have been paid to see the two stars stare open for the punch in what promises to be one of the best duels of the year. P.A.L. TRACK MEETS CLOSE NEXT WEEK Quality, not quantity has marked the progress of the Playground Athletic League All-for-Glory track and field meets, which will be brought to a close with next week's perform- Odds Against Keed At present the odds range from 7 to 5 to 2 to 1 against Chocolate, but close followers of the game are unwilling to concede. The game is "natural" from all angles the bout is "natural" and an evening chockful of action is expected. Ned Brown, white, boxing expert of the New York, World, says: "When Al Singer of New York's east side, which of late years has been sort of a cradle for clever, hard hitting little fighters, has grown up in Cuba, it can be a contest between two clever, fast hard hitting boxers, but their styles of fighting are somewhat different. It will be a case of an orthodontist, a dental team, and yet a schooled, clever boxer. "Chocolate represents the stylist, and Singer the natural boxer. I say that he is a bit wildness and wildness that he invariably shows in a fight. Al is a terrific puncher, undoubtedly a harder puncher than Chocolate, is almost as fast but has faults in his style of boxing that the Haven Kids miss. "Singer's chief fault is that when he lets a punch he goes his body off balance, so that in misses he misses the first position quickly. Chocolate shoots his punches at least at fast as Singer; if not faster, yet the Havana Kids seems always to be set to block, evade, or counter, as necessary if he hits his shot. "And so, with Chocolate's accuracy to offset Sineer's, I can expect equal in speed in my opinion the victory will depend upon the ability of the boys to stand Keed Confident Chocolate broke training camp at White Sulphur Springs, N.Y., intensified training, and came to New York City. He is expecting to weigh in at 124 pounds, and that is more important, ever that he will win over Singer by a knockout. How They Stand # American League Hilldale (Philadelphia) W. L.

The Royals are claimants of the colored semi-pro campaignship of the city while the Hollins outfit claims superiority in its section. In the Royals' lineup are Harry Williams, third baseman, formerly of the Homestead Grays, Isaac Smith, the most prominent; infielders to be developed here, and John Campbell, veteran catcher, formerly of the Oval Blues. These two teams met a few weeks ago with the boys taking a hair-line defeat from the Royals in a twinkl by the scores of 10-9. This would be an effort to take both games from the opposition, will send "Pencil" Williams and "Nip" Clash to the hill with Campbell on the receiving end.

The ability to manufacture hits when hits were needed enabled the local Black Sox to take two games from the Cuban Stars by 9-8 and 20 scores, at Maryland Park, Sunday.

By BILL GIBSON (AFRO Sports Editor) BORDENTOWN, N. J.— Had Richard the Lion Heart- ed been present here Satur- day, he might well have en- vied the courage of Edgar G. Brown, the bewhiskered Chi- cago tennis master, who with the set at two-love against him, rallied with an uncan- ny display of technique and stamina, to wear down the more youthful James Stocks, of Pasadena, Calif., and re- tain his title ‘as men’s singles champion. Flashes of Brilliance The scores were: 0-6, 4-6, 6-3, 8-6, and 6-0, and while both players were exponents of 2 rather conservative game, there were at times, flashes of brilliance that lighted up the gallery with round ‘siter round of applause. ‘The match was a decided test be- tween age and experience, and youth engaged in the learning process. Brown. who last vear furnished the bigeest Upset of the tournament, af- ter an idleness of two seasons. by decisively defeating Theodore (Ted) ‘Tompson in a sparkling five set match, was a slight favorite over Stocks. who last vear played in his first national tournament. At one time Brown's chances looked rather slim, as the bouncing Californias annexed the first two sets, the first fone a love set. Stocks Wins Two Sets In the first set Brown scored on- ly 12 points, and had his service tak- en with regularity by Stocks. Both players were playing a. conservative fame and neither would advance to the net, playing back of the service ne. ‘Stocks won nine straight games, then Brown broke thvough to take his frst game of the day.

My how questions are changing. Sophisticated young things taking week-end trips with boy friends—giving and receiving expensive presents, graduating one day and eloping and saying, was saying, the world is moving on. A friend will tell you that, while in the old times when marriages did not turn out all right and the pouting young matriarch went back home they generally found, parents who turned them back to "sleep on the bed they had made," but now they welcome them in, kill the fattened chicken and start them out on another husband quest.

Concords and Discords BY LLEWELLYN WILSON Ike Dixon's Band. Noted Teacher Dead. "The Nighthawks." Cab Calloway. Note for Aspiring Musicians. Church Music Needs. (CHORDS AND DISCORDS as a title for this more or less musical column this week is combined to CONCORDS AND DISCORDS. The former name has always bothered the writer because it is slightly redundant. The latter, in turn, inherently contains the word "discorDS." Chords may be either concordant or discordant and the dissonant column will be known as CONCORDS AND DISCORDS.) Ike Dixon's Band Credit must be given to Ike Dixon, one of our progressive promoters of musical enterprises and the leader of one of the most excellent modern orchestras, for his ability to keep his band together and to furnish opportunities for the members of his group to develop musically and financially. Mr. Dixon's aggregation returned home this fall after an extended stay in the middle West. Mr. Dixon's musicians in their itinerary included important cities in the states of West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. Wherever the band appeared it was received. Such trips, when properly planned in advance, are very helpful to our musicians inasmuch as they give opportunity to learn what is being done in parts of the country. Both Dixon and the members of his band are to music colony here in Baltimore. Noted Teacher Dead. Announcement of the sudden passing of Louis L. Mohler, on the eleventh of August, will probably come as a distinct shock to many of the teachers in Baltimore public schools, who studied under him theology of Music education as a Phase of Education," in extramural courses in music offered here by Columbia University, for several years. Mr. Mohler was considered one of the country's custumbar educators in public school music. His work for Columbia University was carried over most of the country and he was eagerly sought to give lectures on all phases of public school music education. He masterly teaches the subject, subject, subject, and the faults and foliage of human beings. Mr. Mohler was a teacher, a lecturer and an author. His book on the subject of "Teaching Music on the Basis of Appreciation" is considered an important work. In field of teaching of Mr. school education has lost one of its outstanding figures. "The Nighthawks." Eyrie Tucker's "Night Hawks" are making quite a splendid reputation for themselves as a band of younger musicians capable of fun, flair and his "birds" and are playing regularly at one of the prominent nearby summer resorts. Regular rehearsals and strict attendance to business while "on the job" are two potent factors in the richest rice of this young group of musicians. Cab Calloway. Cabell Calloway, a Baltimore lad, who during his high school days here, was known and very well-known for his excellent work in all forms of theatrical performance of that period, is now the successful director of the group singing and theater professionally known as "The Alabamians." Mr. Calloway and his group are the only race members forming a unit of the company. The office booking them has been with the Mills Corporation of America in Chicago and New York City. Mr. Calloway is now working the Chicago circuit but will open at the Savoy on September twentieth. Ever since young Calloway was graduated from the Douglass Senior High School he has been working successfully in the Middle West as an eccentric singing and dancing director. His newly won honors have been duly earned. Note for Aspiring Musicians. The musical score synchronized with the picture play now showing at the Regent Theatre is truly quite descriptive and very effervescent in the enjoyment of a very much to the enjoyment and well portrayed drama. Young musicians who are struggling to get an aural appreciation of the characteristic music of the oral or instrumental instruments and at some time wish to cain some idea of the use of the "left motif" or "leading motive" through experience without struggling through beautiful but extremely scores I had heard. Warner, might musical profit listen attentively to the music of one Louis Silvers. The beauty of the picture is much enhanced by the accompanying musical portion of the program. "Nath's Art is a beautiful picture with excellent music. Church Music Needs Miss Orsangle Wise, a local teacher of music, who for a number of years has served as organist at Macedonia Baptist Church, has recently resigned. Miss Wise is a skilled organist and her absence at the conference at Macedonia will be felt for a while. Unfortunately our younger musicians do not "wear" well in churches. There must be a reason. I know of two excellent young organists who cannot be persuaded to take positions in cur local churches. There are local churches where these musicians is "jazz" mad nor are they in any way at odds with churches or with so-called church men. They attend regularly. Young musicians would do well to remember, and if they are lacking in the special type of knowledge necessary to remember, then they should be taught about music has been developed by the church and by what the church represents. Many of our embryo singers, after their first vocal lesson, are now able to "the world is waiting for" if they again mingle their "beautiful tones" with the "cracked" voices of the faithful, and spending thirty-four years in one choir I realized that much of our choral work is below par, but if our group is to develop—and it is not all that well done—blessed with five talents, or even four and a half talents, should lend a helping hand. Now, many of those who stampeped from the church for days as vocal students are the first to rush back to the church for a "try-out" on the public when they have built up what they elect to call a choir.

There are musicians who have spent a life-time in studying the highest branches of music, both as a science and as an art, and yet when called upon to do so, they can not sing nor play the simplest musical composition effectively. Too many of our musicians spend time talking about what they could have had they not entered other profes- In America to-day there is a crying need for competent musicians.

Efficient Service OVER WEEK—7 MAGE Week or Month Oiling-Greasing Lanson Street Madison 9479 RABBI ROSENAU BALKED AT COVENANT MANY WOULDN'T SIGN EUTAW PL. COVENANT Rabbi Wm. Rosenau Said to Have Refused Request. ECONOMIC REASON Some Did Not Wish to Tie Up Property. That many white residents on Eutaw place, some of them in the 1800 and 1900 blocks, have refuse dto sign covenants designed to keep the property from ever being occupied by colored people, AFRO-AMERICAN reporters found out this week. Of half a dozen families living in the two blocks which were not listed among the signers, a check-up showed that several had been asked to sign the agreement, but did not wish to tie up their property so that they could not sell to whomever they wanted. Won't Talk Henry A. Lederer told a reporter that he would not talk for publication but said that he did not sign the agreement and would not sign it. Mrs. Joseph I. Kemler, 1908 Eutaw place, declared that the list was presented to Mr. Kemler but that he did not sign it. She would give no reason for the request. Althofer W. Tiedeman, 1920 Eutaw place, declared that no one had asked them to sign the covenant. Others lissed in the blocks but whose names do not appear with the list of signers of the covenant are Moses Elseman, 1807 Eutaw place; Simon Schloss, 1904 Eutaw place; Dave Kirsner, 1905 Eutaw place; Frederick White, 1924 Eutaw place; and Taylor Myers, 1919 Eutaw place. When the request to sign such an agreement was presented to Rabbi William Rosenau some time ago, parties close to him said that he refused to sign. The rabbi has been out of the city most of the summer.

REALTOR SHARKS Several Attempts to Get Property Reported. That more than three hundred residents in Northwest Baltimore may have to move as a result of the Pennsylvania railway tunnel project, a house to house check-up by AFRO-AMERICAN reporters this week shows. Between Linden avenue and Carey street, where agents operating for the railway have already begun to acquire property, there are at least 221 residents on the north side of Pressman street and the 50 feet north of that street at intersecting streets which, the company will also have to buy. Realtor Sharks Although the railway company has employed real estate dealers to act for them, a number of realtor sharks have been trying to come into possession of property on this route in order to reap large profits, it was learned. Already one case, where a small arrears of indebtedness has been the excuse for a mortgage concern foreclosing to acquire a piece of land, has been taken to the courts for adjudication. This is the home of Hue G. Armstrong at 2003 Madison avenue. She filed suit in the Circuit Court this week to compel the Republic Realty Corporation to restore title taken on her property. Dr. Maybelle Weaver, who was quoted last week as saying that she had received an unsatisfactory offer for her drug store business at Pennsylvania street, declared that her statement to reporters was misunderstood. Dr. Weaver said that no price had been named by the railroad company and that what she said was that she intended to seek legal advice, as is always her practice in any business transaction.
