Leader Sentenced for Contempt of Court. FINED $500 Verdict Carries "No Hard Labor." INGSTON, Jamaica. — Marcus Garvey, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of August, 1920," was sentenced September 26, to three months' imprisonment without hard labor and fined $500 for contempt of court. In a political speech Garvey had attacked the Jamaica courts. An even suffer sentence was avoided when Mr. Garvey underdered an apology to the fall court. This was Mr. Garvey's second appearance before the court in contempt proceedings in the past thirty days. Three weeks ago, he was fined $125 for failing to produce in court certain books of the association demanded by the judge. The action in the first contempt case was the result of a judgement which the organization in New York, which judge the Jamaica court ruled could be endorsed here, it being held that the local association is a branch of the New York association. When no money in satisfaction of the judgment was paid, the summons was issued so that the offices of the local branch could be examined with regard to what property Money there was, and it actually drew distinction between the U.N.A. in New York and the local association by searing that the Jamaica U.N.A. is not incorporated, has branches all over the world and he is president of it, and it is a separate institution from the U.N.A. incorporated in New York. Basse White, secretary, was called upon to produce the cash books, as auditors declared without them they could not find head or tail of Mr. Garvey's financial affairs. The chief secretary called in Mr. Garvey and stated: "I ordered the books to be produced and they have not been." Mr. Garvey replied: "As a British subject, I must decline to produce books or do anything that might tend to incriminate me against an organization about an organization with which I have nothing to do." The court ordered the books to be brought in within the next half hour or the arrest of Mr. Garvey. Mr. Garvey left the court and produced the books. Subsequently, Liberty Hall was sold for $5,275 to satisfy Mr. judgement. But meantime, Mr. Garvey, speaking at a political meeting, criticized Jamaica courts again and was thereupon hulled up for his second contempt charge. He was same time with Mr. Garvey and in the same connection were Lewis Ashenhelm and A. V. Hague, Garvey attorneys. Prays For Pardon *OBRIDE, Mass.—The Rev.

THEAFROAMERICAN Entered In the Postoffice at Baltimore, Md., as Second-Class Matter under Act of March 8, 1892 Heflin Ordered Not to Serve Investigation, However, Shows th Has No More to Do With Senate C Heflin Ordered Restaurant Not to Serve DePriest Investigation. However, Shows that Alabama Legislator Has No More to Do With Senate Cafe than DePriest Has. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Heflin-DePriest controversy reached another stage this week when the Alabama senator gave instructions to the employees of the Senate restaurant not to serve Congressman Oscar DePriest (Rep., Ill.), in that part of the restaurant ordinarily reserved for the exclusive use of senators. Heflin said he not only instructed employees not to serve Mr. DePriest, but he also advised them to send for him, Heflin, should Mr. DePriest insist on eating there. He added that he directed out if he ever showed throw Driest out of the room. Speaking out in Seattle, Wash., two weeks ago, Congressman De-Priest said he had read the Heflin statement and, just for that," he was going over to the Senate restaurant and see if Heflin was big enough to carry out his threat. Investigation here shows that Heflin had no authority to give orders or instructions to any employees of the Senate restaurant, and that if he gave such orders, it is not necessarily required that they will be obeyed. The management of the State restaurant is in the hands of a committee of which Heflin is not even a member. The members are Dale (Rep., V.I.), chairman; Moses (Rep., N.V.), and Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss.). All instructions to the managers, district managers and employees of the Senate restaurant should come from the above committee of three.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, October 5, 1929 CANNOT SELL TO WHITES; WON'T TO NEGROES D. C. Segregationists "Carry On" in Protest Meeting. USE HARD NAMES "Menace, Invasion, Blacks, Darkies," Used WASHINGTON, D. C. Disregarding a notice from the Community Center department of the public schools of the District of Columbia, the Columbia Heights Civic Forum, white, held a meeting last Friday night in the Wilson normal school building for the purpose of crystallizing sentiment in favor of the exclusion of colored persons as residents of that section of the city. Darkies, Blacks, Menace Invasion The buying of property by colored persons in that vicinity and their moving into that section were described as an invasion. Colored persons were an invasion. They were sometimes called "blocks." One man referred to them once as "darkies." The chairman of the committee on invasion alleged that he had done against the so-called "invasion." He said he had gone around trying to get people to sign restrictive covenants against the sale of property to or its occupancy by colored persons. He said he had had the opportunity to own property owners that residential segregation is public-spirited and that white residents were not interested enough to sign such covenants. Some Blocks "Safe" He said that the average depreciation of property values as soon as colored persons move to fourteenth streets, five-fifth per cent. He named the following blocks as being safe from invasion: Eulich street from Eleventh to Fourteenth streets; Clifton street from Eleventh to Fourteenth streets; and Columbia road from Thirteenth to Fourteenth streets. Backs Against a Wall He conceded the right of the colored person to live wherever the white person sold him. He admitted frankly that their backs were against the wall, that there was nothing he could do. He assasinated him, and had off the invasion. He concluded by saying that the tide has swept over them. Whites Offer $8,000 The next speaker presented a pitiful figure of the effects of race prejudice in the 1900 block of Park road, in which there are no colored residents at present. On account of ill health he is forced to sell his property. He had listed it for sale with three white dealers, who told him they could not sell it to any white person for full value because of the nearness of colored people who are living in Lamont and Morton in the Northeast where he got from cheap white people who would turn his home into a rooming house, he said, was $8,000 or $8,000. Negroes Offer $12,000 A colored real estate agent had clients. They had gone through his house three times, he said, the last time planning where they would put the furniture. They offered him $12,500 for the house, but he turned down because he would wait to see him to decide whether to sell to them. He had gone to see his neighbors and offered them his property, but they would not buy. The man was almost in tears as he told his story of unwillingness to sell to colored persons and inability to sell to whites. Black Real Estate Agents Another speaker told of the same story as he was going around in the vicinity advising property owners to sell to colored persons first in order to get more money for their homes. The black-listing of real estate agents who are going into white blocks to get property listed to colored persons was advocated. Darkies The next speaker was afraid to use the word "colored." He said "other people" "others," or "mance." Once when he no longer excused himself, he sold to a darky. His plan is to go to all the large businesses in Fourteenth street in that vicinity and get contributions for the purpose of paying solos and seeking permission to restrict covenants. Blames Higher Schools The next speaker was asinine. He asked if the white property owners that is behind "all this invasion." He said it was the presence of Howard university and the Miner normal school. He did not understand what students in the Miner normal school and only two hundred in the Wilson normal (white). He asked what does Howard university do with the dollars of the college appropriations it gets annually from Congress. He expressed the belief that the money is used to recruit colored people to move into white neighborhood. Please Named Another plan suggested for stopping the so-called invasion was to talk it over with members of the Senate. The Senate would be sympathetic. Senator - Cole Blease was named.

When your throat is raw and sore, you can ease it with a simple gargle which you can make just by dissolving two Bayer Aspirin tablets in four tablespoonfuls of water. Even in tonsilitis, you need not repeat the gargle many times for full relief. Only one thing to watch —always get Bayer Aspirin! The genuine has the Bayer Cross on every package and tablet.

Shortly before then, she was advised by him, she declares, that he was going to occupy a separate bedroom, which he proceeded to do, removing his clothing and personal effects into the bedroom which he chose to occupy. Later he forbade her coming into his bedroom, she states, and from that time on they have never lived together as man and wife. Course of Cruelty Shortly afterwards, he began to practice a systematic course of mental cruelty, which has gradually grown worse, she alleges. He became cool and indifferent and treated her with disdain and contempt, she says. In the year 1925 he stopped speaking to her, she states, and he has totally ignored and refused to speak to her ever since. On one occasion when she remonstrated with him and asked for an explanation of his conduct toward her, she says, the only answer she could get from him was "she was not a good student" and that she didn't suit him and that the real trouble was incompatibility" Mrs. Taylor also charges that Dr. Taylor failed to properly and adequately support her and that in September, 1924, she was compelled to go back to her employment as a substitute school teacher in order to earn sufficient money to properly maintain and support herself. Since her recent employment, she was given to give her any money at all for clothing or wearing apparel or the ordinary necessities of life. After she went back to work, she states, Dr. Taylor employed a maid to perform household duties. He compelled the maid, she says, to purchase two different kinds of food for his table, himself eating the finest and best obtainable food and compelling the maid to serve her ordinary, coarse food. On one occasion when she objected to treatment, she created a quarrel ensuing when she pushed her down the steps. In the spring of this year, without her knowledge or consent, she declares, Dr. Taylor turned their home at 1623 S street northwest, into an apartment and rooming house. She is still occupying her room, she says, while Dr. Taylor continues to occupy the whole downstairs, including the basement, where his offices are located. Stopped Buying House He stopped making payments on the home which he was purchasing, she states, telling her that he did not intend to buy the house in order to deprive her of her dower rights and interest. Dr. Taylor has an income from his practice as a physician and surgeon.

"I will say, however, that like all similar cases there are two sides to it," he continued. "Courts are established for the adjudication of all such matters and the side as there is another side—will appear due to regret exceedingly that such matters cannot be settled without so much publicity," he concluded. Dr. Taylor is one of the most successful physicians and surgeons in the city. He has been practicing here for twenty years and has visited the visiting surgical staff of Fpeedman's hospital for years. Dr. Taylor graduated in medicine from the Howard Medical school in 1809.

CULT MUST GO State Asked to Revoke Temple's License. CHICAGO—The imitators of the dress and rites of Mohammedanism, about 2,000 the police estimate, must give up the "sheik" and "bey" additions to their names and return to normaly. Coronor Bundesen and a jury investigating the riot and battle that cost two lives and the wounding of four last Wednesday, have called on the State authorities to revoke the license granted the Moorish Science Temple. Ira Johnson, leader of the kidnappers who forced Charles Kirkman to accompany him to the scene of the battle, has confessed that he killed Policeman William Gallagher, "he was shooting at me," said Johnson. Kirkman testified Johnson wanted to be the "Grand Vizier" and after the kidnapping threatened him with death unless he produced important papers relating to leadership in the Temple. Many doubt his story, pointing to the fact that he, like other members of the clan, have been fed up on Moorishism, which he said that it is better to die in the cause of the "prophet" than a natural death. Stevenson, the cult member who was killed, was shot in a closet where he had fled in order to escape the police. Officer Reynolds, who is credited with the killing claimed that Stevenson attempted to kill him, the gun of the saving him. The man was shot several times through the head.

S. H. James Tells Ministers Church Population Is on Decrease. BLAME FIXED People Losing Confidence in Leaders. He Says. "Whether we face the fact or not, organized Christianity is losing its grip on men and women of today," said the Rev. S. H. James, in his sermon to the Baptist Ministers' conference, Monday. Pointing out that within twenty years the percentage of the total population of the country having church connections has decreased from 45 to 32 per cent, the Rev. James blamed this decrease, not upon the fact that people were losing their faith in the Christ, but rather they were indulging in dependence in the leaders of the church. The Rev. James said that when a bishop so far fell from his Christian dignity as to speculate in Wall street, when a rector drew the color line in the Blackshear, and when a minister committed such a crime as the Rev. James Walton committed, organized Christianity would continue to be on the losing side, and for an upstanding Christian leadership.

A large audience which crowded every space in the auditorium greeted the bishop, many of whom were natives of South Carolina where Bishop Hurst presides.

RACE WILL ABANDON P. E. CHURCH Former P. E. Rector Says Denomination Caters to Whites only. JIM-CROW PREVALENT Candidates for Priesthood and Seminary Refused. BY REV. ROBERT S. BENNETT, Former Episcopal Minister BROOKLYN, N.Y.-Rev. William S. Blackshear, spoke the truth when he stated that Negroes were not wanted in his church. For that matter Negroes are not wanted in the Protestant Episcopal church any- where. The Negro clergy of that church can testify to that fact. For the past fifty or more years the neglect, indifference, secret hosti- ility, segregation, deceit, and out- sidings of the white bishops of the white bishops and clergy of this church, in their dealings with the Negro clergy, have been ample proof that they were not wan- ticed. What the Negro clergy of the P.E. church have experienced all these years, hastened many to untimely deaths, chased others out of the church, and denominations, some into business and the professions and a few outside of the Christian faith altogether. None in high places of this church have the souls or the welfare of these men. Now that the strong and so-called radicals who battled for their race and an equal footing for themselves in the church, the problem of the policy of segregation, ridicule, prejudice and repression has centered upon the lalty. P.E. Church is White The P.E. church is white and must be kept white at all hazards. No real effort must be made to evangelize, but the church should age. Negro youth who may desire to enter with the priesthood as their goal: bishops hesitate, and in several instances absolutely refuse to receive orders, offering the lance excuse that they have no work or fields to offer them on the completion of their stu- Isolation—Jim Crow It is an open secret that some such ungracious treatment hastened the demise of the late Right Rev. the Bishop of Africa. Men of fifty years, thirty years, fifteen years and less faithful laborers in the ministry of this church, have been cast out and forced out, because they could no longer submit to prejudice, segregation and other untoward behaviour. Only those willing to endure jim crow convocations and veritable isolation have been permitted to remain, conscious of their humiliation and unjust treatment, yet silent in suffering for fear of their daily bread. No Black Bishops Out of the scores of available and proficient clergy of the Negro race, not one was considered fit and capable of election to the vacant bishopship in Liberia, Cuba, Porto Rico or Haiti. Clergy who make their marks in the white seminaries of the church, are called to sideration, when appointments to seminary professorships were being considered. One Negro priest was given the empty honor of being ejected from the seminary beforehand agreed upon, that he should refuse to accept the election. Eventually Abandon P. E. Church and eventually abandon P.E. Church. The color question must be faced. Like Banquio's ghost it will not down. All the subtertures have been used and are now being used by white bishops and white priests as well as white laymen, will stick together and declare that the P.E. church is white, and must be kept in the church to seek a God and church of his own. Three Great Lies "The Three Great Lies of Today" was the subject of a sermon by the Rev. Blackshear at his Sunday morning services. He referred to were the lie of religion, the lie of science and the lie of democracy. The minister criticized clergymen who do not tell the truth; he ascertained that the Bible story of creation, declaring that evolution is a process and instrument of creation; and he challenged democracy, stating that men are not born free and equal. Men, he said, are born free and equal, background and economic slavery. District Attorney Speaks Attacking Blackshear, U.S. District Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, speaking at Abyssinian Baptist Church, Monday, before the Harlem Division of the Greater New York Federation of Churches, said: "Shall the church be less fit than the state? No officer of the state to live or where he is to find educa-can tell a colored man where he is minister of the gospel tell him where tion or recreation. How then can a he shall or shall not worship? Can an exclusive church be a Christian church? "Any man, white or black, is the inferior of the man whose rights he tramples upon. Men are not superior because of the accidents of race, creed or color. Those only are superior who have the best hearts and who have developed their native talents in the best way."

Davage, 1234 Druld Hill avenue, age 75, church incorporator, elder, sexton, and organ pumper at Grace Presbyterian church, Dolphin and Etting streets, has lost one of his titles. Beginning Sunday of last week he was relieved of his position as organ pumper. The reason assigned was that the church organ has been electrified. Seen by an AFRO reporter this week, Mr. Davage admitted that he had learned to love organ pumping and that he will miss it, now that he is no longer able to pump. At the same time, Mr. Davage said, his mind felt freer, because rain or shine he knew he must be at his post at Grace church. "I am getting older now." he said, "perhaps someone else would have taken the job anyhow even if they had not installed an electric motor." Mr. Davage was one of the incorporators at Grace Presbyterian church when it was organized at Linden Hall, southwest corner of Linden avenue and Hoffman street in 1879. When a split developed in Madison Street Presbyterian church, a Sunday-school was formed in the school. Even so, the School-school grew so large that the Baltimore Presbytery organized it into Grace Presbyterian church, with the Rev. Charles Hedges as first pastor. This was in 1832 and the congregation selected the church building at the corner of Dolphin and Etting streets which it has built. From an active member in the Sunday school, Mr. Davage became an elder of the church, a trustee, a member of the chair and sexton in addition to his other duties. He was a great seeker in the chair left and listened to every pastor including the Rev. Frank Ecleton, the Rev. Edward Williams, and the present pastor, the Rev. John T. Colbert. M. E.

"It is not fit to read." Father Eckert is white. The members of St. Elizabeth's are colored. An editorial in the APRO-AMERICAN of recent date urged the Catholic church to find room in its pulpits for more colored priests.

GLAD TO GET HOME Debut of Nora Holt in London Described. Quite the event in social circles this week was the return Wednesday of the Norman Cottons and their daugh- on, on the Homeric. ter Gloria month's rest at their summer home at Oak Bluffs, Dr. and Mrs. Cotton sailed August 2nd on the Saturnia for a tour to Rome, Florence, and Pantheon Switzerland, Paris and London where they were the guests of Mrs. Cotton's sister and brother-in-law, the Turner Layouts. They expected that they would return laden with foreign novelties and goods and pleasant memories and singing the retrain. We hated come back. They did not come back of the lovest things—clothes, jewels, gifts and even flowers; they have a new collection of European impressions to add to those of their first trip, but Mrs. Cotton at least is not singing, "I hated to come back." Glad to be Back The day of my interview, Friday, she wore one of those smart new long black chiffons and no jewelry except a stunning necklace and white crystals that were leaving that arm. Her home in Pattsville, where Dr. Cotton still practices medicine, and where they once lived. My first question was "Are you glad to be back?" and she prised she wore no dress that does not express her work. "Rork is the only place for us to live. It is a lovely trip, but, I'm happy to be home." Hot in Paris And then the reasons poured forth. The weather was unusually warm and they had "done the sights," regardless of the heat. The continued difficulty with the Italian language had proved irritating, she had consolled herself by thinking that when she sheared Dr. she would find friends especially Dr. Curtis, who was especially of being the best person who goes to Paris. When she arrived, she went directly to the Moulin Rouge to secure the doctor's address, only to find that she had sailed for America, that morn- Her sister, Emma Layton and Little A'Lella came over from London to keep her company, but A'Lella who attends one of those swanky English, fresh air, private schools, couldn't bear the heat of Paris and back they had to go. And Mrs. Cotton didn't find a person she knew. "Superior" English Of course, things are quite different in London where they stayed in the magnificent home of the Laytons. However, Mrs. Cotton - a Cotton miller - too superior in their attitude—and they have a subtle way of attempting to correct you. I very quickly told them that I was a Bostonian, proud of it and spoke English as it was spoken to me. I am not keen associating with white people. I prefer to be with my own people and they are scarce in London. And don't let anyone tell you that the English are not prejudice against them and Negroes." A small group of Harlemites in London entertained for them. The Laytons gave a dinner party, the Leslie Hutchinsons a dinner and dancing by special request, cooked a plain American supper for them. Nora Holt Debut As the guests of the Laytons, they attended the debut of Nora Holt at the Cateele Theater, and the Princes of Wales. The baby grand piano was rolled into the center of the dance hall, and the girls were down walked Nora Holt in a stunning white gown, all of her diamonds, a colorful ensemble. The audience were all of "my man", type, not so popular with English audences, but she put Noble Sissle Mrs. Cotton was most enthusiastic over Noble Sisle's work. He directs his band in the show, which includes Layton and Johnstone remain the idols of the varsity fans. Paul Roberson is very popular. Prince Hutchinson is still the faction's Prince. They are all living magnificently. "Dr. Cotton had a wonderful time. But on my next trip I shall select some one to play with," he said, becoming acquainted with the people.

Conference at Louisville "It is quite natural that Negroes everywhere and all Christian people should deploy the racial outburst of the Rev. Wm. S. Blackshear, Episcopal minister in Brooklyn, New York. He was called to be 'St. Matthews'. It would be keeping if it did not insult the spirit of fellowship of the 'receiver of customs', who was called to be a disciple by our blessed Lord and Master. It would be more fitting to change the name of the church to 'St. Vardaman' or 'St. Legree'. Like a majority of white churches and white Christians, this minister's Christianity is a mere joke. The teachings of Jesus suffer more than the powers of those who profess Him the authority those who are indifferent to Him. "Books written by white authors, such as the 'Scandal of Christianity' and the 'Impatient Pastor', show that one or two honest souls are aroused over the viole being done to Christianity by its face, having clergy. Aside from the face, there is no Jesus in it, there is no humanity in it. It is vapor and vaporings. "It is up to the Negro ministry and membership to resent this insult to our race and this disgrace to Christianity by immediately protesting as a clergy as would dare defy the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles on the common brotherhood of man. "The A.M.E. and A.M.E. Zion denominations set them a splendid example of heroic action, but the men themselves rather than be insulted by such men, who are in the ministry only to set man against man and race against race. DR. BRAGG—DR. DANIELS. "Two men of our race, Dr. George F. Bragg, of Baltimore, and Dr. W. A. Daniels, of Dept. of History, will speak in no uncertain terms, when the time is ripe, against this most monstrous insult to God and that ever uttered in what proclaims to be a Christian pulpit."

Colored representatives on city, county and State 3. Equal salaries for equal work for school teachers without regard to color or sex. 6. a University and agricultural college for college 7. Cooperation between farmers and the White 8. College for college Why not do a little praying as well as a little working and a little talking and a little voting? Mix them all up together and take a liberal dose. It should help considerably. People of the next generation are going to give some attention to debunking the practice of medicine. Go into the office of the physicians: they take your blood pressure, examine your heart and lungs, make an x-ray photograph, and their head, wrist, and foot are prescribed a Latin and send you off to a druggist who concocts a bitter and nameless medicine which you are to swallow every three hours without knowing what it is or what it is expected to do. There is too much secretory about doctoring. The public will insist on knowing more about it, and the intelligently progressive physician will take his patient into his confidence every time for the sake of the doctors, who have the exposure of quacks who go through these mysteries and many more in the well-known game of bluster and bluff. Under present conditions, a good doctor has no chance to advertise in the papers and sell himself to the public as every other dealer in goods does. Why shouldn't a doctor be permitted to sell his goods? How many days the preachers were the doctors. They placed the blame for the people they killed on the Almighty. Prescriptions issued by these physicians hastested the death of many. One. Dr. Faustus, admitted that his medicines carried off almost as many as the plague. Today there is still much about the human body that is unknown and unsolvable, but the progress of the profession of medicine is one of the great wonders of the scientific world. The doctor has conquered scarcity fever, and pneumonia. He has put a check to the ravages of tuberculosis, syphilis and cancer. He not only advises the sick but he tells the rest of us how to keep well. But in all this the dependable, progressive physician has carried on his back the imposter, the rogue and the humbug, who threw their books away when they started to practice, and who stopped learning when they graduated from medical school. The medicine of its mysteries will make the good doctor stand out. At the same time it will put the incapable and dishonest practitioner in the rear where he belongs. The Snob Army If Lieutenant Colonel John E. Green holds to his intention to retire or resign from the U. S. army next month after serving two years as an enlisted man and twenty-eight years as an officer, he will be the first Negro commissioned officer to take this step. Behind it of course is the War Department staff the Ninth and Tenth regiments of cavalry, the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth regiments of infantry with Negro officers. This is one of the queer things in American race prejudice: namely, that the dominant part of the white race, though it apparently resents every intrusion of the Negro, yet forces American standards of discipline require that there be no social relations between him and enlisted men. Race prejudice demands that there be none between him and white officers. Negro officers Lieutenant Colonel Green lives in a lonely, isolated existence. Major Allen Alenworth, late chaplain of the Twenty-fourth Infantry declared that a white junior officer "passed and repassed him for six months without a salute." Hardships fall not only upon the Negro officer but upon his entire family, who are similarly isolated, with the expectation that they will be able to stand it and that the Negro officer Lieutenant Colonel Green has apparently had enough, yet at fifty-one all the fight is not out of him. He can perform a patriotic service after retirement if he will substitute the pen for the sword and let the world know in detail of the practices in Uncle Sam's snob army. If he is beaten, if he is a quitter, Lieutenant Colonel Green is no more good outside the army than in it. If he has just served to fight, outside the place for him. He may there fire a gun that possibly will be heard around the world. DePriest-Heflin Said the Baltimore Sun one morning last week: "Along the better elements of his race there is probably a growing impatience over the challenging trunculence of Oscar DePriest. Negro Representative from Chicago, in his campaign for the removal of various discriminations that are founded on racial prejudice." The AFRO-AMERICAN is in a better position to speak for both better and worse elements of the Negro race than any daily newspaper on the Eastern seaboard, and so far as we are aware, Congressman DePriest's activities while in Congress have met the endorsement of 295 out of 300 Negro weeklies. In the last analysis, Mr. DePriest represents only his Chicago district and what it thinks will be manifest in the new election. He is a strong supporter of upon Mr. DePriest's Seattle address, which included a reply to Senator Thomas-Heflin (Dem. Ala.), Mr. Heflin had said that if Mr. DePriest ever entered the Senate rest rooms, he, Heflin, would throw him out. Mr. DePriest's reply was, "Just for that, I am going over and see if he is big enough." Mr. DePriest knows that Mr. Heflin is a boaster, a braggart and a bluffer. He's got a big nose, long enough to that, calling that Heflin will go big on Chicago's South Side. If Heflin's challenge is good for 5,000 votes in Alabama, DePriest's reply is good for 5,000 Chicago. If Heflin want to play politics in this manner, it should cause the rest of us very little concern. Where's Success? "I want to be a trained nurse, educate two children and pay for my home." "I'm twenty-nine. How can I save money, buy a home, run a business?" "What career might I pursue? I don't like teaching." "I have six children. How can I help my husband?" "I'm twenty-six, sing nicely, want to be an actress. Is there any chance?" "Does the business world offer success?" "What's the chance for a writer?" "I separated from my first husband after ten years. Now I am about to lose another. What can I do?" These seven questions represent a cross section of queries received from nineteen correspondents a week. They indicate ambition, eagerness for counsel and dissatisfaction with present conditions. It's a good sign when people are dissatisfied and start after something. Before we accomplish anything we must begin, and having started, must hold on until success comes. If the AFRO could give advice in two words to all of these correspondents, it would say PERSISTENCE SUCCEEDS.

To the Editor: The Baltimore Sun is "righthete" again. After a vacation of almost two months, "Sidney Hill alias Cinderella Hill, Negress," appeared on page 4 of the morning Sun. September 24th, while "Mrs. Stone," a white alleged malefactress, appeared on page 28 of the same issue, simultaneously with an editorial page 12 anent the page Mr. DePriest. The Sun says editorially: "Among the better elements of his race there is probably a growing impatience over the challenging truculence of Oscar DePriest, Negro representative from Chicago, in his campaign for the removal of various discriminations that are founded on racial prejudice. We hold no brief for Mr. DePriest; but we should like to reply that if "the better element of his race" were ever given a chance to cease being made impatient by this same "senseless prejudice" to the Sun refers, as so aptly demonstrated by the Sun itself, in its news items, those of the Negro group who may not admire the DePriest type, have time to start being made aware of the alleged idiosyncrasies of the Gentleman from Illinois. In the meantime, it may be quite fortunate that the first Congressional ice-breaking, after so long a period of absence on the part of the Negro, is being done by someone whose mental epidermis is tough enough to stand the crudities of his white contemporaries. So long as the Sun shines on setting such a pristine surface, we see less prejudice. it is considerably worse than a waste of time for it to make conjectures as to what certain members of our group think of Mr. DePriest. In the meantime, it may be quite fortunate that the first Congressional ice-breaking, after so long a period of absence on the part of the Negro, is being done by someone whose mental epidermis is tough enough to stand the crudities of his white contemporaries. So long as the Sun insists on setting such a priceless example of senseless prejudice, it is considerably worse than a waste of time for it to make conjectures as to what certain members of our group think of Mr. DePriest. Mr. DePriest quite confidently election will produce additional representative of the Negro group, more nearly approximating the shrinking violet than the gentleman at present so much in evidence. If so, it is probable that the new incumbent will not be the last to appreciate the rough and ready log-hewing done by his colleague. My we suggest that the Sun extend the period of its vacation from "Negresses" and other evidences of bad manners, to let us say, six months. Being thus slightly relieved of gaucheries on the outside, we might find the time for a little introspection on the subject of Mr. DePriest. CONSTANCE DANIEL, (Mrs. Victor H. Daniel) Cardinal Gibbons Institute. Ridge, MD. Philadelphian Seeks Bride. To the Editor: I would like to correspond with a nice settled southern woman between 30 and 40 years of age, who would consider matrimony after we are acquainted. I am a working man. 34 years old, quiet, easy to get along with and desire a wife and family life. Am brown-skin, five feet, six inches tall and weigh 159 pounds. I like to go to church, moving pictures, and am a steady worker. F. DAVIS, 1748 N. 53rd-st., Philadelphia, Pa. To the Editor: I can't express in words just how much I appreciated the AFRO-AMERICAN while at Wes Hampton, BLL, New York. It was a real friend I realized that whenever I read the AFRO was reading the real news from home and abroad I will venture to say that the AFRO is the best colored paper in the United States. A. W. STEPNEY, 1118 P.-st. N.W., Washington, D.C. NO SNOBBERY IN THE JAPANESE NAVY To the Editor: I was forcibly struck by a news article in the Baltimore Sun, concerning the coaling of the two Japanese naval ships in the harbor here last week. Said the article: "Fifteen hundred men—officers, midshipmen and crew—are coaling the two ships of the way of getting coal aboard and storing it in the bunkers. Side by side with the enlisted men, the midshipmen—100 on each vessel—worked in hour shifts." The coal was carried on board in the usual Japanese manner—on the shoulders of the men in bags, each weighing about two hundred pounds. It was, a site Sun article stated, a tolomeo, dirty, messy job. However, to quarrel with the midshipman, it seemed, was wont to show his physical equality with the husky seamen and stokers, in some cases hurrying to dump his load and make his round trip quicker than the man who started ahead of him. Can you imagine the officers in our army or navy doing anything like that? Admittedly, the Japanese learned much from the Western nations, including our own, but fortunately, they did not absorb the not-inconsiderable degree of snobbishness which seems intrenched in our army and navy—and is more and more intruding itself into the federal civil service because it actually dominates South. If real democracy exalten a nation, surely "heathen" Japan can look down on us. WHITE CHRISTIANITY ROTTEN Rev Mr. Blackshear Only Stated Publicly What the character of White' Fashion Thinks Bs REV. FRANCIS J. GRIMKE Pastor 15th St. Presbyterian Church, Washington A good deal of unfavorable criticism is just now being heaped upon the head of a Rev. William S. Blackshear, rector of St. Matthew's Protestant Episcopal church, Brooklyn, N.Y., because he openly and publicly declared that he wanted no colored persons in his church. After all, the only difference between him and the average white minister in this country is that he has had the courage to say what his real sentiments are. The way he feels is just majority of white ministers in this country feel; they would rather not have Negroes or people of color in their churches. The Rev. Mr. Blackshear is simply reflecting the sentiment of white Christianity in the United States. It insists upon colored people worshiping by themselves, keeping to themselves, the simple way, honestly hypocritically the opposite may be asserted, is that white churches are for white people and not for colored people. And all that this Rev. Blackshear has done is simply to publicly and honestly avow that fact, shameful as it is, as damage to the spirit of Christianity, the represents and that the white churches generally represent. So far as the color line is concerned, white American Christianity has been and still is absolutely rotten, utterly alien from the spirit of Christianity. Instead of blaming Rev. Mr. Blackshear rather let us turn our weapons on the brand of Christianity that exists in nearly all of our white churches. Call it by whatever name you may, but to call it Christianity, to associate it with Jesus, is a lie. Not Christianity, and those who are responsible for it, know that it is not. Is it not time for them to be honest, and cease to cloak their hypocrisy under the sacred name of religion, certainly not the Christian religion? Race prejudice can never be justified, can never be made respectable by associating it with the Man of Gilead, the leader of the Israelites, who renders it all the more hateful, all the more detestable by way of contrast. He knew no color or race lines, and we who profess to be his followers must know none. TO THE PESSIMIST Say friend, why sit and eternally prate At the cruel deal given to you by Fate? Do you not know, your fate is YOU— That you choose joy or gloom, by the things YOU do? If you fold your hands and never try To conquer adversity with smiling scorn. Nor journey anew, with hopes new born. Then life and love will always be Suggests New "Church of the Spirit" Without Color Line or Clergy. To the Editor: In order to offset the appearance of exclusiveness which has recently come to light in one of our publications, we wish to whisper that elsewhere in that and in other sects, and as a step forward and upward toward that brighter, fairer day toward which we all yearn, no matter what our creeds or our faiths may be, I want to suggest the starting of a new religious movement, or rather the coordination of all religious activities everywhere in a rebaissance of spiritual endeavor, the suggested title of "The Church of the Spirit. It is in my mind that this church should be without formal organization or with as simple a staff as can handle its necessary secular affairs; that it shall be without an ordained or formal ministry or priesthood; that it shall exclude no one for reasons of color, race, creed, or any other reason, but shall cooperate with any and every existing religious organization which desires such cooperation; and that it shall devote its activities to the study and development of the spiritual qualities of love, faith, and hope through prayer, informal discussion among its members, and by every form of activity which can be undertaken. DAVID DARRIN, Roosevelt, N.Y. Colored and White Handkerchief-Read Editors Continue Their Campaign to Muzzle DePriest We who Want Our Rights Protest, DePriest Should Pay an Attention to These Critics. To the Editor: I have read editorials in some of our leading white dailies, whose editors purport to be friendly to our race, and editorials have appeared in some of our colored weeklies anent Representative DePriest's speech. The able statesman suggested a Federal Election Law to force the Senate to pass a law that would allow his franchise by chicanery and force, to allow him full freedom of the ballot in Dixie. There seems to be concerted effort, by both our so-called white friends and distinguished colored editors to muzzle Mr. DePriest. How can an individual or group of people protect themselves unless the protection emanates from the state? New York, are trampled upon in New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Maryland because they have redress at the polls. Southern legislators, at every tick of the clock, are wont to offer bills for the purpose of JIM CROWING and humiliating our group because we are not as good as others. I have been as close to some of the so-called best white friends of our group in Dixie as the majority of our leaders. Ex-Governor Dorsey, of Georgia, and I have been friends for a number of years. The late Thomas W. Bickett, one-time governor of the State of North Carolina, and I were personal friends. I quote here from Governor Bickett's speech at Tuskegee Institute in January, 1919, before the Farmers' Conference: "I urge you in the language of Booker T. Washington, that there is only one road for the black man to follow, and that road leads straight to the door of the white man's conscience. Stand at that door and knock. Knock. You will be knocked. You will be chosen, chances not tomorrow—some day the God of our redemption will come. Not in the mighty wind, not in the earthquake, but in a small, still voice that will trouble the white man's conscience and drive sleep from his eyes until every plea born of wisdom and truth will be allowed. What good is education of the South is to not do too much agitating for the ballot. There are other things more important. What you need is more education and good homes." In the name of all of the gods at once, what good is a home if you cannot protect it or get the same civic improvements as the white man gets. What good is education if you are denied the right to assert your manhood because you have no redress at the polls? Why pay taxes on a palatial home in Dixie devoid of civic improvements because you cannot help elect city councilmen. Why do you have to be by a white man with his hat on and you dare not resent his action because you have no redress at the polls? I ask our distinguished colored editors why is it that the white South strives so fervently to keep the ballot out of our hands if it is not valuable? Why does the white South require that a Negro must own so much property or have a certain amount of education or money before he can vote? Will some of our distinguished colored editors cite some instance where one white man in their neighborhood has met these requirements and then been denied the right to vote? The black man is able to meet them. It would be a blessing to the colored race if ninety-nine per cent of our group were made of the stuff of Oscar DePriest. It would take a Federal is to get that weapon into our hands that is so dear to the white man in the South and elsewhere, go to it, Mr. DePriest. Ella Wheeler Wilcox declared: "To sin by silence makes cowards out of men." The whole human race has been built on protestation. We who want our rights protest. Editors are cows if they are afraid to speak out. This is the day for men and not molly-codies. DAVID DABRIN "If Christ should appear in Brooklyn or any other city under the guise of a colored man, and should seek membership in the church which He died to create, He would more than likely be met with a polite or blunt refusal." WHITE AND BLACK HYPOCRITES A hypocrite is one who feigns to be what he is not. We are all disposed to compound for sins we are inclined to by damning us, but we are not a brother in black who complacently violate every requirement of the Christian creed, and yet he will blatantly denounce the white professing Christian who fails to exemplify fraternity and fellowship within the household of faith. Recently an Episcopalian rector in Brooklyn has raised himself to a "bad eminence" by inviting his off-colored member to seek membership in churches conducted by and for their own race variety. Every Negro newspaper and organ of public opinion has joined in heaping anthems of faith because he deviates from the faith which he professes to accept. Agnostics, atheists, infidels, scoffers along with the rest unite in assisting Mr. Blackshear to the Christian in which they do not crudely believe. What right has he who does not believe in and practice humility, sacrifice, service, fortitude and strength, another because he may default in another requirement of the Christian faith? He who violates any part of the Christ cult thereby forfeits his mortal life in the benefice of any other portion. Immoral Courage. The Reverend Mr. Blackshear has the moral courage, or perhaps I had better say, the immoral courage of his conviction. What he did in the open, nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand white ministers by overt act or covert contrivance. If Christ should appear in Brooklyn or any other city under the guise of a colored man, and should seek membership in the church which died to create he, the church which died to create he, the polite or blunt refusal. What white pastor is there in Brooklyn or elsewhere that dares propound to himself the self-searching query: "Lord. is it 17?" Let him then apply the Christ test to his own conscience and condone it, then done it unto the least of these, my brethren, we have done it unto me." Spiritual Superiority. But our colored clergy must not become too exaltant in their spiritual superiority. Have you not heard of fastidious Negro churches do not welcome the poor, ignorant congregational fellowship? to their congregational fellowship? What is the difference between classifying the saints on the color scheme and on the social grade? Which would be the more displeasing to the Christ? He is the white preacher, the white preacher who practices the one, or the colored minister who practices the other? The Negro Christian who seeks entrance into a white church for other than genuine reasons of worship is as reprehensible as the priest who refuses him to too feel that he gains in social distinction and prestige merely because he is accepted into white association. The eleven men upon whom the tower of Siloam fell were not sinners beyond all the time. Blackshear is by no means the greatest hypocrite among Protestant or even Catholic clergymen. A simple act of his-merely serves to exemplify and dramatize the hypocrisy of the Christian church. He must be a white preacher who acts creates. The offense must needs come, but woe unto him by whom it cometh. Color Question. The Christian church must come to grips with the color question. Which exerts the controlling sancitary authority of the church? Will Christianity compromise with caste? Is the church of Christ a biracial or a co-racial institution? The church has been equivocating on this issue long enough. It accounts Christianity as a social force of the future because, he alleges, it has become insincere and unconvincing. This is a serious challenge, and seriously insincere. But the Reverent Bloor Blackshear et id cern genus are doing their best to make this religion appear to the Negro to be both insincere and unconvincing. A creed comprehensively deviate from its exections they thereby weaken its virility and appealing power. The kind of hypocrisy which Mr. Blackshear exhibits has over the non-white world. The unphilosophical mind is severely logical. It comes from Missouri and must be shown. You cannot hope to sain convert a meachine brother who is a creedful social intolerance and exclusiveness. Condemnation. Every Negro organ which has fallen under my eye indulges in blatant destructive condemnation of Rector Blackshear and seems to relish the opportunity to attack the white man it thinks of him. Should we not the rather strive to turn this spiritual faux pas into constructive channels? Will it serve to bring the white church to a realizing sense of the great damage it is doing to the white man? Will the black brethren to offend? On the other hand, the Negro should feel a stimulating sense of positive duty as well as of negative complaint. After all, the spiritual treasury of Christianity is not in the exclusive keeping of the white man, the Negro should redouble his zeal. The ideals of the Christ must be held up before the eyes of the world. The Negro has the strategic opportunity. The humble, the meek and the lowly always possess the moral and spiritual advantage that the Negro should take up the cross where the white man leaves it off. Merely to rail at the white man for his lapses boots him nothing unless he sets the better example. Merely to rail at the white man against untwanted act does not indicate nobility of soul. It is merely animal reaction against insult and injury. Let us hope that this unugly incident will serve to make the white man more vertical and the Negro corsivelonist genuinely and sincerely Christian. In the meantime I would advise Rector Blackshear to omit from the list the Apostle of the avowal: "I believe in the communion of saints." "GO DOWN TOWN AND MEET HIM" The Problem of the Negro and the Downtown Stores Discussed from a Woman's Point of View. BY NANNIE H. BURROUGHS "I don't believe in standing a white man thinks that I am not the weeest of men. I think I heard a Negro who wrought up, say to another color he meant I did not know, but curt I drew "nigh" and listened be would "go down town and meet wondered whether I was there, and the "ins and outs interest me very much nor was would amount to anything.

"I don't believe in standing around up town talking big. If that white man thinks that I am not as good a man as he is, every day in the week, I'll go down town and give him and show him what I am. That's what I heard a Norwegian who was apparently courageous and wrought up say to another colored man the other day. Just what did not know, but curiosity moved me to find out. he meant I drew him" and not him unless I could see that the man who would "go down town and tell him" was no ordinary chap. But I wondered whether he would do anything besides talk after he got down there. I heard the "ins and outs" of it, but the case in point did not interest me very much nor was I convinced that what he would do amount to anything. would author Somehow I could not refrain from turning the thoughts that came to me into another channel and I began to think on the deeper signifi- cation and economic possibilities wrapped up in that challenge to "Go down town and meet him." That, thought I is just what Negro business men will have to get courage, sense, and standards enough to "Go down town and meet him." PREACH TO NEGROES ONLY Have you ever thought how starchers to "go into all the world" ONLY, and He calls Negro business Negro ghetto and cater to NEGRA.

That's sense. Chips from Have you ever thought how strange it is that the Lord calls Negro preachers to "go into all the world and preach the gospel" to NEGROES ONLY and He calls Negro business men to go into back streets and Negro chatters and cater to NEGROES ONLY? Negro business men set up businesses in business districts and compete and sell to "whoseover will," our people will continue to spend their "sho' muf" money with white merchants and their pocket change with Negroes and apologize for patronizing Negro business. Negro business men, take this advice. Move on and go down the road. Go down the road and "sho' muf" business section is—and open up and "meet um" It is positively pathetic, embarrassing, and disgusting to see Negres wading through department stores, drug stores, and the big business sections, spending their money and lugging bundles, eating out of paper bags, and can't even get a nickel's worth of anything to eat in nine-tenths of the big stores that have soda fountains, lunch counters, restaurants, and dining rooms. HOT DOG STANDS. Some of the five and ten cent stores have the nerve to serve whites only at their little old hot dog stands. And. a Negro might spend a thousand dollars in some of the department stores and faint right in the middle of the store from hunger, but he would have to stagger home to get a cup of coffee with which to revive himself. Money talks, but the Negro's money does not talk. the right way. It must ask for one hundred per cent service of the store in a store as "mats" as well as sheets. Serving in a store is a public service and not a social courtesy. It is high time that Negroes were either bombarding the merchants with letters of protest and boycotting stores that will let them dress up in there but will not let them eat up in there; or, it is high time that some enterprising Negroes, with high standards, were getting sense enough to conduct first class lunch and coffee shops in the business sections of our large cities.

This question comes up once or twice every day, and it is not always easy to answer without consulting the dictionary. Even then, it is not unlikely that the libraries are available they will not agree. Perhaps nothing connected with the language is more unsettled and chaotic than this matter of the compounding of words. In this instance of the Standard dictionary was being compiled, about forty years ago, the late F. Horace Teal, then perhaps the leading proofreader of English and an agnified authority, devised some rules and laid down some principles concerning compounding. In the 1950s, the author and not wholly consistent, have been the chief guides to writers and dictionary makers since that time. For the layman, however, there is seemingly only one available principle and that is based on the mathematician. It may be roughly stated thus. Every word (in English) of two or more syllables has one syllable accented more than the rest. Hence, when two words of one syllable each coalesce—or are compounded—as the word is stressed, the syllable will be stressed. For example, in the early years of the game, people spoke of "foot ball"—two words, neither term accented. Now we make one word of the two terms with accent on "foot." The same rule or principle applies to other compounds. So, when in doubt, the doubt may often be resolved by the pronunciation. When one or more of the words composing the term in question has two or more syllables, the matter is more difficult to understand. Compare the pronunciation of "water" and "melon," as two separate words, with "wafermelon" one word. It will be noted that the accent on the first syllable of "melon" disappears. There is still the question whether the first word, "watermelon," should have a hyphen. That matter will be discussed in a later talk. The rule, as stated, of course, is of limited application; for in many cases the correct or prevailing propulsion may not be known with certainty. Yet its observance is worth while. Under its guidance, for example, these two words would never be compounded into "worthwhile as some persons are wont to do. F. H. M. M 1.

"And when," asks the versatile George Schuyler, "are Negroes going to stop eulogizing Abraham Lincoln?" Let us hope never. The time has already come when the Negro has stopped worshipping the Republican party, the party of Lincoln, and rightly so because of what it has become; but let not the day arrive when a single colored man would hesitate to lay laurels at the feet of the Great Emancipator. Abraham Lincoln helped to fight the Civil War and signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Some men might have believed in fairer treatment of the Negro, than did Lincoln; but few DID more. Even if Lincoln had been in accord with Lincoln Legere; even if he got his inspiration from the heart of Dixie and preached the doctrine of jim-crow, his mere driving the Confederate Army from Gettysburg; his signing the Emancipation Proclamation and dying a martyr's death, would have been sufficient reason for laying wreaths on his grave. Much has been said as to what Lincoln meant and believed: THAT IS A QUESTION FOR ARGUMENT. What he actually DID, however, is no question for argument, and it is what he DID and the consequences of what he did which really count. As to some of the men eulogized on the temporary monument reared in Baltimore recently, we heartily agree with Mr. Schuyler, but as to Lincoln, we can't. Watch this Young Woman Develop. Every community should be interested in its unusual young folk. Observers at the tennis courts at Drudid Hill Park have no doubt been attracted by the form and playing of Miss Helen Ford, high school girl who undoubtedly is on her knees in this popular field of sport. Miss Ford has been playing less than two years, and tells you that she has had no expert coaching other than playing the game on the local courts. Naturally she is no star yet, but no one could watch the lithe and natural manner in which she plays the game, the perseverance she shows, the earnestness with which she is putting herself into the sport, and not feel that she has wonderful possibilities. She is on her way to the nationals, of course; but let us hope a little more. A white "Helen" "cut and lobbed" her way to the court of St. James and to world recognition on the tennis courts of two continents; Baltimore may, through this young woman, write the city's name high in the archives of sportdom. Anyway, we must begin to watch out and encourage all the talent of every kind that we have. A Wise Step for Business Men. The appointment of a committee by the Business Men's Exchange at its meeting, Thursday, to look into and study the affairs of a local shoe manufacturing enterprise ordered men with a view of helping that institution, was one of the best things that that organization has done for some time. Heretofore, this organization has endured this enterprise in a persevering great energy in seeing that the colored people of Baltimore get behind the plant with their patronage. In taking the step, that they must first study and investigate fully the character and the business of the movement as well as the market possibilities in this field, before they urge citizens to invest in these securities, they have begun well. for by this procedure they will gain the confidence of the public and their endorsement worth while. At this same meeting a committee to study the possibilities of putting colored Baltimore on the air map by promoting a flying school here, was also a forward if the men are in earnest about it. The one unfortunate reaction, however, seen at Thursday night's meeting of the league, was the determination of the officials to keep the administration narrowed to a few stockholders. Under the present constitution there are not more than twenty actual voting members, and under this same constitution they can perpetuate their tenure of office indefinitely. Their argument is that during the past fourteen years they have purchased one building valued at about $4,000 and are purchasing another on the building loan plan and that they do not propose that any new men shall come into the league and have any controlling say about things. To this end they will allow no entrants to become other than associate members and this is automatically keeping the bulk of the business men out of the body. Business Men Want Active Program. What these otherwise estimable gentlemen fail to see is that the average business man in Baltimore is interested in controlling their business in order to be interested in supporting an organization which will help to bring the buying public behind our own business enterprises. The fear that they will lose office or lose the right of the league to vote, that is a sure indication that they are not living up to their obligations to make the league what it should be. We hope that the committee sent out some time ago, write a more practical definition will make its report this month and that the present officials will have the good judgment to accept some guidance which the league can expand and to modern business league program. BETHEL AGREES TO PAY HENRY O.

To appreciate picture one should know that Mr. Webb has a gorgeous color, aquiline features, set off by coal black eyes and way hair, and a trim boyish figure. He heals from either Charleston or Columbia, which, I take it, makes him one of those fascinating creatures. Gechee. Incidentally, his family is more than well supplied with the current of the land. BEACH ATTREU, Ernest Chawell, who introduced beach attire and what the well-dressed man will include in his fall wardrobe, was a close second. The other models were Walter Scott, Gordon Roberts and Edward Chavers. Robert Drain, Holloway, William of Porry company who is a high way, were tres chic, William of Porry company who is a high way, and Fred Kerion.

Davis Asserts Vann Works With Both Parties. ATLANTA, Ga.—(Special)—Robert Vann, of Pittsburgh, is swallowing the lily-white program of the Hoover administration in the hope that he will be named assistant U.S. Attorney- general, Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, asserted in his paper Saturday. The editorial, in part, reads: "Bob Vann is a typical example of the southern Negro who migrates North and turns traitor to the section of the country that gave him birth." "It matters not who is responsible for the editorial entitled, 'Republicans in the South,' it sounds like Bob Vann's sophistry and cowardly demagogy. The administration is responsible for the victory of Bob Vann. His name appeared on the payroll of both political parties. This being what, right now has he to ask the Republican party to provide a berth for him? He was for neither Hoo-tee nor the Republican party to bear the boodle, and it made no difference to him whether he got it from one party or both." "Vann is perfectly willing to see every Negro in the South politically eliminated, if their elimination would help him land Mr. Hoover's job. The independent wants the Attorney-General to help Bob Vann and see whether he will prove a liability or an asset." Best Element "Mr. Vann says Mr. Huston will pick leaders in the South from among the best element, and the best element is among the element, as agreeing with all the whites, if all Negroes are like Bob Vann. Mr. Vann says it is quite obvious that conditions being what they are in the South, a strong Reservationist group, there except by subordinating the Negro politicians. He says it is useless to blink at the fact that white people in Dixie will not follow Negroes in the South, so he to have two parties in the South, the Negro must step down and out." Lily-Whites "This is the fundamental doctrine of the lily-whites and Ku Klux of the South, and Bob Vann becomes a propagator of lily-witness and Ku Klux in stepping stone to Perry Howard's job." "Mr. Vann says, the black leaders of the South have been discredited, and that the new policy of the Republican party in the South will prove political in the South," Vann says.

R TEE ROOMS MOTHER BETHEL ENDS TANNER COURT SUIT Philly Church Settles Suit Instituted by Noted Painter. Trustee Board Had Refused to Pay $3,900 Balance. PHILADELPHIA—The long drawn court case between Mother Bethiel A.M.E. Church and the artist H. O. Tanner, to an end here last week when the trustee board agreed to a settlement arranged by Raymond Pace Alexander, attorney for Mr. Tanner. Because of the prominence of the litigants, the case, filed by Mr. Tanner, September, 1927, created national interest. S3.900 Involved His history dates back to 1924, when the Rev. Henry P. Anderson, at that time, planned a plan whereby the artist was engaged by the board of trustees to design and execute a model plaque containing a basrelief of the late Richmond, founder of the A.M.E. church. This plaque, intended to be exhibit dat the Sesqui-Centennial held in 1968, was also to contain a model plaque of the founder and a model sketch of the blacksmith shop which the founder conducted, and to be the super, containing upward of 2,000 manes of prominent men and women. The artist agreed to execute the work of $4,000 and was paid $100 for the plaque, and containing upward of 2,000 manes of prominent men and women. In the meantime the Rev. Mr. Anderson was transferred and the project abandoned. It was then that the suit to recover the plaque was instituted by Mr. Turner through his attorney. Pastor Praised The present pastor, the Rev. J. Campbell Beckett, urged the church to recognize the moral obligation and needed for bringing about the settlement. A release was signed by Mr. Tanner and in return a cheque for the full settlement was forwarded to him by Rev. Mr. Beckett, pastor.

Nadine FACE POWDER MOVIETONE and VITAPHONE Nothing But the Best in Pictures MONDAY and TUESDAY Lon C "Whe (Continued from page one) Little Esther dances. She dances so lightly, and so freely does her body play above the hips, that really seems that she can dance. Now she dances easily on one foot while she draws the other unused behind her. Plays With Dolls "But what struck me most of all regarding this little black fairy is that throughout the entire performance she is playing for her own child amusement. Later when I visited her in her dressing-room and saw her playing, with one of the children she amuses, the dimmers have sent her, I asked her whether she ever got bored with her act. She looked at me, her black eyes big with surprise, and all in tears. In spite of her successes, Little Ether has remained the merry, laughing child she was on the streets of Chicago. She loves play, all her work is as play, make a hit with her, play with her. She is full of life and speed, and her build is all perfection itself. Her legs, arms and hands are strong, her skin is as smooth as silk. She is so gay and winsome that when she walks on the streets she always has an adoring crowd behind her and a restaurant many strangers call to her as she passes. Breaks Every Record "The London Sunday People says of her: "Thousands flock no longer to herself, or the clever American table, the Moulin Rouge to see Mistinguette girls, or the beautiful women of the chorus, but to applaud a little mite, ten years old, who has weamed and within the space of a few weeks. "We are living in an age of speed but this amazing little child has broken every record of sudden theatrical success. Of all the countries she has visited, Little Esther has had the biggest success in Sweden, not because of her altruistic alone, but because the owner of a restaurant, one Brande Tomton, who had been a class of milk because she is colored. The Swedish papers made it hot for Tomton, while Little Esther, her mother, and her manager, received invitations from some of the highest persons, socially, to visit them in their homes, just to show that she disapproved of Tomton's conduct. The Dagblad called the incident, "the greatest scandal Stockholm has ever had." Causing as much sensuality as the Stockholm Dagblad also made an inquiry at all the leading restaurants and hotels regarding their attitude toward receiving colored people. The Dagblad also in all our leading restaurants, and hotels Little Ester or any other Negro would be received with pleasure, except at Branda Tontons. Little Ester was welcomed because of her popularity. Kids Brought Flowers Such a shower of ridicule poured in on Tomton that he was forced to close. He was caricatured in several of the leading papers, while Little Esther's popularity rose, higher than ever. When she left, it was clear she was seeing her off, presenting her flowers and inviting her to return to Stockholm. Mother is Proud Mrs. Jones, a modest, quiet little woman, is very proud of her daughter. To her the astonishing success of her little girl seems more like a humble circumstance than leaf from humble circumstances to wealth and popularity. White Manager Failed She told this writer that it is Mr. Garner to whom is due all the thanks for her present financial standing, and said that the white manager who brought her from America treated her very badly. She further charged her with the maid of his child when Little Ester gave performances in private homes. At the home of M. Dreyfus, Paris banker, Mrs. Jones said that she was made to wait in the hall, and that she was invited to see her and saw her, and learned who she was, he invited her in and introduced her to his guests. The white manager scolded her and asked if she did not know that that that wasn't done back home.

Taylor Gordon's New Book Out Critics Approve Work of Rosamond Johnson's Partner. NEW YORK — Taylor Gordon's "Born to Be," is announced for the book shops next week. The publishers are Covici-Friede, Carl Van Vechten and Murid, who have put their stamps of approval on it by way of forewords: and Covarrublas did the drawings. In the World of September 27th, Ralph Barton gave him the following send-off: Though hardly a Nordic blond, Taylor Gordon has a very close kinship with Erich Maria Remarque—they are both honest men with all-seeing eyes and a miraculous power of setting down what they see on paper. "All Quiet on the Western Front" is terrible and "Born to Be" is hilarious—which is as it should be, since the one book deals with death and the other life—but they are equally vivid and interesting. Covarrublas' illustrations for "Born to Be" are simply the finest book illustrations that have ever been produced on the North American Continent. This is Mr. Gordon's first attempt at writing according to advanced reports. It is a personal reminescence. It need hardly be mentioned that he is the partner of P. Rosamond Johnson and a distinguished figure in the concert world. Covarrubias Presents Another Negro Drawing "Moanin' Low," an illustration by Cecilia Cox, "Born to Be," is receiving much comment in artistic circles. The production is a modernistic drawing that emphasizes and accompanies singing for royalty.

Park Avenue Likes Jazz According to records of New York offices supplying bands for dancing at the Park Avenue society folks, Negro bands are far ahead in demand. The number of home affairs with the hot syncapation increased in the eight night clubs the last two years, and the popularity of Negro outfits is ascribed to the desire of the black entertainers to entertain who sing or dance when the guests are not dancing.

DURHAM, N.C.-A resolution passed by a group of men of the Western North Carolina Conference of the A.M.E. Church, urging a boycott of the Sunday-school Union because of the frank utterances of Ira T.

The Times declared that the resolution was the work of friends of Bishop A. J. Carey, in Chicago, whose dark and muddy eyes as a priest and bishop in the church has been accepted by Bryant. Says the editorial: "We would have the signers of the resolution to understand that the salaries of the bishops, presiding elders and preachers, and the means by which the A.M.E. publishing house operates, are furnished out of the pockets of the laymen of the A.M.E. Church, and no great effort can destroy any of the A.M.E. Church without reckoning with that source. "If the men who signed the resolution want a general clean-up, it is a fine thing, for certainly in the cleanup the immorality and the theft of monies raised by the laymen of the A.M.E. Church which should have gone to advance the cause of Kittrell College, will be exposed. If we be a clean-up, it is going to start at home, and the laymen are going to have a hand in it, and it won't be a hand lined with cotton." Among those who signed the resolution are, J. W.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy It was no more chance that, during the first decade of the new century, brought Mamba out of the darkness of the underworld into the light of the Wentworths' kitchen. Casual as that event seemed, there is good evidence for the belief that it had its origin in some obscure recess of its original mind; or in perhaps some deep and but half-buried instinct that drove her, against the reasoning of her brain to embark upon what must seem a fantastical and sensuous venture. For Mamba and arrived at an agitation that the downhill of fifty and her habitat had always the waterfront. The amazing thing is that, having arrived at her decision, she was able to muster the courage necessary to take the step. In the Charleston of Mamba's day the peasant population might have divided into two general classes: the upper, consisting of those who had white folks, belonged to the Nedo-lozolous respectability and enjoyed a certain class of workers which had no folks and were little better than outcasts. How long Mamba had incubated her amazing plan there is no way of knowing. It is quite certain ever, that with a "cunner" that promised success, and that then, armed only with an enormous and devious experience and a remarkable histrionic talent, she selected her peril attack. She then, with the genius that was to prepare her to ultimate success. The Wentworths, as was well known, had been wealthy plantation people before the war, which arranged the rise and fall of their land and placed the original grant from the British Crown directly across the line of march to be taken six generations later by a General Sherman, the later of the Wentworths. In the army had been brought through their plantation was the famous definition. Immediately after the war, and after the war, the shared remnants of what had once been the ancestral home, sold the land to liquidate old debts, and moved to Charleston. There they settled in the district of Battery that they occupied when they were selected by Mamba as her point of attack. bore of the family. Mrs. Wentworth was a widow in the early forties, possessed of intelligence, unquenchable industry, and a personal charm that the exigent years almost too rigid for so soft a word. It was so desperately important for her children to place their place in the society in which they had been born. It was so thought knowing, that she dared not give an answer. The boy, St. Julien de Charnay, went, was now fourteen years of age. He had inherited an ancestral curse in the nickname being Sain and was known as a genuine desire for knowledge and the frustrating public school system of the period. Polly, the girl was altogether charming. A stender blonde of twelve, was well known as a school for young gentlemen, on Lauret street, and in accordance with the custom of the old city, was just beginning to attend her first dancing-school soiries in the company of a fellow student, by no means the least important member of the family was Maum Nettle. She was a small intensely black woman of great delicacy of feeling, and with a social confidence she lacked anything that one had a right to expect it was, strongly enough for her race, a sense of humour, and she shrewdly suspected that she had deliberately suppressed this quality as jeopardizing her relationship to the man that she required the Wentworth for their protection and love with a loyalty, devotion, and faith that imposed upon the two children an obsession of fulfilment almost as a relationship of child to parent. It will be readily seen that the Wentworths just described presented a highly vulnerable front to the invasion of the Four Hundred, who had been larger and weaker she could not have gained the attention of the white folks and would probably have been even scant courtesy by the new Negroes in the kitchen. Negroes a family born in the slave states affectionate tolerance toward the Negro once that Negro had detached himself from the mass and become identified as an individual. Here, too, in the person of Maum Neta Instructor in the intricate technique that the aged tyro must acquire. True, she knew that the old servant would treat her with well-bred condescension, but, with the true spirit of the climber, she was prepared to pose for him until it could be worn with dignity. The exact moment of attack was timed to a nicety, and slipped into place with that appearance of a man who had carefully calculated preparation. It was spring in Charleston, and almost overnight the sudden urpish or life from the soil had transformed the town. Wisteria dropped its purple leaves from the trees and gakes from the ground, of colour and perfume over the garden walls. Even the air had a sort of onetit, like pollen on a petal. It was incoincivable that at such a heart's could be hardened or hearts words spoken. The tree was one of unusual excitement in the little brick house. Saint was to escort his sister to her first soiree. Polly was slim and lovelier than her white dress with its handwork. Order made after hours by Mrs. Wren. She was powerless to the debut. In all the city, blocs the little brick house was made of a garden, its four massive walls crowding the little lot to the limits of its accommodation. The child was breathless with longing. "Please, Mother, please; May, and Damaris, and the Hugens all have big gardens. It won't take a minute to turn over to Legare street and ask for some dessert. Saint will go. Won't you Saint?" But the mother said: "I am sorry, dear, you cannot you know. We are too poor to have to do that, and that is the very reason why we cannot ask. Remember what Landor says. You have already paid the highest price for a thing when you have asked for it." "Yes, I know. Horrid, rich old thing. I bet he never wanted anything in life that he couldn't run to a shop and Saint put in: 'Aw, they have millions and millions of them. It wouldn't be really giving, they wouldn't miss 'em'. They will have to be offered, 'We cannot ask.' Tears then—tragedy in that gay moment of departure; high-strung little nerves jumping from tears to laughter and back again. And a mistletoe in her mouth stuntsy of an idealist in her firm mouth and lilted chin. And Saint: "Aw, come on. Don't get all messed up over a few flowers." Maum Netta opened the door from the kitchen into the dining room where she had just opened a door, writing: "Dere's uh oman outside words, she want fuh see Missi. She ain't berry clean. Maybe Missie better come in de kitchen fuh see um." The thres Wertworths adjourned to the immaculate little kitchen, and there they beheld an incongruous picture. Mamba stood just within the door, and as they entered she dropped a deep courtesy. She was a woman of medium height, frail almost to a point of emaciation. She was not a full-blooded African Negro, but her prominent nose and the copper cast to her dark skin suggested a face of a man of great strength. She had, then, an admixture of white blood in her veins. Her face had reached the point at which it tells nothing of age. As it looked now with its multitudinous wrinkles, it would still look at her death. She smiled a little timidly and revealed a lonely yellow fang in the middle of her lower gown. Then she took a step forward into the full light of the kerosene lamp and looked into the air. From the network of wrinkles the woman's eyes, large and of a peculiar live brown brilliance, looked startlingly out, bright with the fire of indomitable youth. Standing directly before Polly she courtesiously brought from behind her back a large shower of Dorothi Perkins roses. The stems were wrapped with tinfoil and tied with floss that had been fashioned into a cord with tassels exactly like thins donned. A fine, white, the florists' windows were covered with a small, green street. "A hink tink my Little Mieje gin' tuh dance tuh Mie Miss Snowden party to-night an" Ah say de outlies' lady dore dought fuh hab flowers. She swung her rags about her in another courtesy and extended the bouquet. She gave a gasp of pleasure and held out her hand to take the flowers. The terrible grit of ethics again raised its head. If one could not ass, a gasp of tears could be gift of roses that had undoubtedly been stolen over the wall of the selfsame neighbour? "I think that we must know where the flowers are from before we take them." Mrs. Wertworth interposed a little weakly. "Ah gots frien' who gardner on Legare Street, Miss. He gib me lot on the Saint cut the Gordian knot: "Take the old flowers and let go. We'll be late, anhow with all a吻. Then, seizing with all a吻, we bring the bouquet to her breast with the other. he rushed her to the door, and before Mrs. Wentworth could say anything more, their feet had pattered into silence down The mother turned and looked at Mamba. There was a moment of silence, then the strange old woman gazed up into her face with her a amazing girl's eyes, and smiled wide single-toothed smile. Mrs Wentworth threw back her head and laughed. Did you come she asked. "On not so far. Ah been see Little Missie go by eberv day an' Ah jesn't wait no longer tuh put dem flower whar day blongs". Mrs. Wentworth with her hand on the dining-crook door knob am sure I will good of you' he said 'and now you must jesh Menna Netta give you some supper before you go away. It was so very odd, your coming just to night". But was it odd, after all? it not rather one of the most inevitable happenings that are often misinfluened with confidence but are in reality the mathematical result of a premise originating in some remote but unsuspecting human purpose? There was that about the invisible cominess and coins of Mamba, after that first night, which tended to confirm Mrs. Wentworth's grave misnings. It suggested a profiler smacked of the poisonous lion, like a game of poker, billiards that is almost too sweet for a gentleman. She would mow about the kitchen dooryard as silent and as unswervingly watchful as a neighbourhood cat, and then, without having been seen the house, she sheds a piece of evidence, a visit there in some gift or her service for a member of the family. On the morning following the soil-still there were fresh roses, with dew on girls' breakfast, healed on the bed, and a shark observed, that they had been torn from the vine. Gardeners on the streets were shears and shears. Most certainly she must tell Maum Nekta not to allow the women to return. She was not of the type to be enclosed after breakfast, when Mrs Wentworth repaired to the house she encountered complication. Maun Netta was seated in unacustomed ease eating her breakfast and Mamba was just ushering in the moment that Mrs. Wentworth stood unobserved in the doorway, she was an eavesdropper upon a masterpiece diplomacy. Mamba was a master of 'Trek Ah knows dishwashin', tikn yo'ease, quality cultil folks.

RENNEGARBE ACT 2 SCENE 1 "Under the Bamboo Tree" had an entirely white company with the exception of Bert, who was the star. All admired him and took him as a member of the "family." "I am really provoked, Mauna" (she had not gone as far as that in years); "I was just going to ask Mauna to leave the premises, and I find you ask her. You know we have no money to pay a servant. Now, what am I to do?" "Ah sorry, Miss. Miss. Dat a haud of oak, the haud of oak. See. If you can find a ole dress or something, Ah'll gib it tuh she an' sen she away." There was silence in the kitchen and the tension of impending crisis when Mrs. Wentworth returned with a large arm. In a cool, positive tone of finality which dismissed a mutual future and expunged the past, she said. Mauna Neta will attend to those dishes. Thank you for helping us. Here are some old clothes." But she got no further. Mamba courtesed almost to the floor, with her rags trailing grotesquely about her waist. She was radiant with gratitude. She started talking rapidly while she took the clothes, and her volubility was increased. She entered the door. Twice Mrs. Wentworth attempted to stem the tide, then gave it up. She tank yo' miss, Ah' so tankul. Ah' been too 'shame' tum come roun' yo' an' Little Missie in dose ole rags. Now Ah' goin' be dat clean my own ma' wouldn't be shame' time Little Missie go to dance she ain't goin' be 'shame' fur let me go long, wid her 'an' car can she slipper back. The queer bobbing figure paused for a moment in the open door; then with its hand on the knob, raised its hand to the woman's and folds of skin looked the woman's astounding eyes, audacious and mocking, then for a second in the closing door they caught the mood with smile and overflowed with laughter. --- Two days passed and a Sunday came. No sign of Mamba. Mrs. Wentworth dismissed the whole episode as closed. The day was glorious with spring sunshine, and the air was throbbing to the music of St. Michael's chimes. Mamba rounded a corner a block away from the front door of the Wentworth residence, then stopped and lingered unobtrusively in a recessed gateway. She could not keep her feet still while the chimes were playing, and the shabby, broad toe that extended from beneath the hem of her recently acquired neat gray dress tapped gently on the pavement. She knew well the rotation of the tunes: "Shall We Gather at the River?" "There Is a Blessed Home," and the way the music dropped an octave on a high note where a bell was missing. George Washington Christopher Gadsden, the ancient bell ringer, was a crony of hers, and she smiled now at the thought of his favourite joke on the white people in the pews. Yes, there it was, slipped in between "There Is a Blessed Home" and "Onward, Christian Soldiers" Can't you dance the peacock? that the Negroes loved, then on into the next hymn without missing a beat. He'd be laughing now at his joke, up there by himself in the steeple. the bells commenced to toll. Three minutes now before service. Mamba peered from her retreat, and an expression of satisfaction overspread her features, entwined entworms from their fruit and proceeded decorously toward the calling bells. In the Wentworth kitchen Maum Netta was washing her dishes and carefully cracked soprano. She reached for a high note and held it with evident pride. Then through the open window there entered a meloon ring with it in resonant chord. Maum Netta's eyes widened with pleasure while she held her note to the limit of her lung capacity. Then she crossed to the doorway and looked immediately below her on the doorstep, and she met the older woman's gaze with an expression of awe. "My Gawd. Maumna." she half whispered, "how come you told me I can sing like that?" "Cose Ah kin sing." Then slowly the necessity of being firm with this person began to triumph over fatness and narcissism, nor dure. Ah gots orders from Miss Wentworth not no mo." "Cose yo' has, Mauma, cose yo' has, Ain' Ah knows Ain' ahn't yo' has, Ain' Ah knows Ain' yo' has, Now don't yo' worry none about dat. Ain' ahn't go' let dese feet go ober dat do' no matter how hawd bey deys me.

Deepen them, and slur, and slurring only a little from the toothless gums, her contraction notes lifted to the window where she was sitting and with that same irresistible quality of youth that shone in the woman's eyes. Mamba and she per now. The gratification of that mysterious urge that had started her on her adventure hung in the balance. She let the whole force of her throb in the mysterious music. Maum Netta listened for a moment. No Negro can resist harmony and while soprano voices of great beauty are common enough among the crowd, Maum Netta dropped almost into the baritone register, and throbbed there full and true. She commended to sway slowly from side to side as she sat there on the step. Maum Netta tried to keep it up, and it was as though she had unlocked floodgates, for the spiritual swept irresistibly from her lips. She returned on tiptoe to her dishes, her hands out in that strange communion that comes from merging two separate and imperfect voices into a rare and beautiful common offering. The little kitchen and the small brick kitchen were out of the moment of t. The rhythm possessed itself of its creators. In the dining room the little mahogany clock on the manel sent its hands spinning on toward noon. Church was over, and Mrs. Wentworth approached the little brick house chatting with several neighbours. "I did not know there was a Negro church near," one of them remarked. "Why, that singing seems to be right in our block." "And Sunday, too!" contributed a little woman with arched eyebrows women of African descent, Mrs. McKinney did not like. Like Mrs. McKinney, she said sweetly: "Well after all, they are spirituals, you know. The Negroes evidently still believe in the Day," but her defensive attitude widened suddenly. She was before her own door now, and grim forebodings were up. She "excused him brutally and humiliated," Ament later she stood surveying a scene that, while it tempted her to laughter, told her in no uncertain moment witnessing her own defeat. Maum Netta sat just inside of the room with her turbaned head nodding back and forth to the measure of the room, wide open, and upon the step sat Mamba swaying and patting with her large, flat feet and throwing her right arm forward. The visitor had not been idle, and therein lay her triumph. Before her on the marble step, fairly sparkling in the sun, were ranged salty of the shoes and the socks, and the one, a dancing pump of Sain't, was just being given a final polish. Mrs. Wentworth was obliged to makes her presence known. She could her presence known. "Maum Netta, have you gone raving crazy?" Instant silence in the kitchen, and the slow gathering together of faculties in the two rooms before her What was the use? Mrs. Wentworth re-entered the dining room, closing the door to impatient herself, herself to impatient laughter. With the success of the she-shing episode, Mamba attained her position, and she was more of fact. Mrs. Wentworth was destined for failure in such a situ- Dr. Bunker's Handwriting Analysis By DR. M.

She is known that she has charge of the discipline, control, and cultural training of the nurses. It is a responsible position, and Mrs. Jackson's writing shows that she has the cool judgment to suit such extreme, instead she has the natural noise to meet emergencies. She is enthusiastic about anything that really interests her, but she is particularly interested in her. There is much skill in the use of her hands expressed here, indicating that while she holds a position of authority, she is also capable of going right in and nurses- A They were very fond of him and all grieved when they found that in spite of his great acting his health was failing and that he played under great difficulties. tion by reason of her virtues rather than her weaknesses, and where such is the case, a cause is indeed hopeful for her success, and owed its existence to it is understanding of the ruling white, knew just how vulnerable those virtues were, and so she had only to direct her attention to her time. Her position was now fairly secure. She had only to keep a favour ahead of her victim, leaving upon her the burden of an unrepaid obligation. The entworts between them were then to pensate her, so in lieu thereof, she must be given food in the kitchen and the outworn and easily recognisable garments of her new misfortune, to be buryed in her own eyes, this soon gave her the superficial colouration of a retainer of the aristocracy. Presently, when she was in her own eyes, Neta she commenced to refer to the Wentworth household as "my white folks". Mamba had no regular hours for her comings and goings, but she had a way of materialising dramatically when she arrived, she delighted in certain conspicuous services of a social nature. To Polly's great pride she insisted on following the dressing room carrying the slipper the ostrich to dressing-room door. Then, while the dance was in progress, she would play the ladies' maid with the waitress, gregressed and dressed girls from the Battery homes. More than one amazing story of her daughter's talents and her own wealth circled back to Mrs. Banks, who were easy struck by her to these bounce-stairs gatherings at the dances. Mamba's logic in these cases was simple: what could possibly give her more distinction than to be the maid house she was humility personified. But around the little brick house she was humility personified. How the old woman must have longed to adopt the head kerchief such as was worn on a Neta. Matta the house-bride, the traditional house-bride servant! But she was well aware that this would be a fatal presumption. For the present, at least, she must depend on her husband, who was Wentworth for her borrowed respectability. As for her head, it was still treated in the asterning manner common among older Negroes who had not been born, the diggers and whidmen who generation had not yet adopted kinremover. The wool was divided into a dozen or more equal tufts. Each of these was tightly wrapped with a thin layer of cotton ending at the scalp; then the collection, resembling rope ends, was drawn together and united in a tight knob on the crown. The genius of the mongolian gray tarantula had settled upon the head and was holding on tightly with outstretched legs. But if Mamba dared not essay the head kerchief, she did the next best thing without her hats. When the first autumn arrived neighbors were commencing to identify Mamba as "that new Negro of the Wentworths". Three years passed without a chance of Mamba being adopted Mamba and her adopted white folks, except that by her continued association with them she became a cooperator in their fortunes. She received in her hands an independence that she loved. She had a way of dropping out of sight for days at a time. The Went- ing.

All day, every day, during the time of his last show in Chicago, he food and gave ordered constant attention, despite the fact that he was given a growing constant attention. By J. A. Rogers Paris, France ERHAPS no character in history stands out in more interesting relief than Massinissa, king of Numidia. Certainly none furnishes a more splendid example of daring, tenacity and consummate skill than he. Coming on the scene at a time when two great nations were struggling for the mastery of the world, he threw his weight on the losing side and it won. There was nothing extraordinary in that, it may be stated. But at hunted and tracked by his enemies the time, Massinissa was a fugitive—He had less than six followers. A Great Love And all for the love of a woman. No love story is more touching than that of Massinissa's. Let us glance at the leading figures in this mighty drama. They are Hambal, the Carthaginian, said to be the greatest military genius of the ancient world, called Seipio, foremost Roman general of his day, a man of calm judgment, cultured, ruled by his head. Syphax, king of Numidia, the kingpin of the situation. Both Rome and Carthage were his favor. Seipio had used all his wiles, grace and power on Syphax and at last had secured him as an ally. Most Beautiful Woman Sophonisba, most beautiful woman of her time, the daughter of Hasdubal, Carthaginian general, and niece of Hammabal. Massinissa, son of Gala, king of Massyla, a petty kingdom in southern Tunisia, was the group of mixed Berber and Ethiopian ancestry. The Berbers were a dark-skinned Asiatic race. Earlier in history the empire of Ethiopia extended over all that region. The humiliated Berber force of the Carthaginians, Commanded by Metius, the mulatto, they nearly took Sicily, from the Romans. Falls in Love As a lad, Massinissa had come to Carthage to study. While there he fell in love with Sophonisba; and, Hasdrubai, taking a fancy to the comely and accomplished man, had consented to the match, "even though he was a Numidian." A giant in size and strength, none could equal Massinissa on horseback or with the sword. At the lyceum he excelled in Latin, Greek and military tactics. Glorified in War At 17, inflamed by his love for Sophonisba and eager to do something different, he declared war against Rome, and gathering an army. Massinissa marched against Syphax and defeated him in two great battles. He went on to join the Carthaginian forces in Spain. At that time Carthage had the upper hand, and Hannibal was winning the war, but does not far from the walls of Rome. 18-Year-Old Prodigy Arriving in Spain, Massinissa, not yet 18, attacked Seipio. Rome's most leader, and defeated him. Another Roman general, Gnaeus Romulus, gave a sate fate. With his black cavalry, Massinissa seemed invincible. But while this gallant young knight was endeavoring to kill her, something else was happening in Carthage. The Carthaginians, anxious to win over Syphax, had offered him the prize he always coveted: the beautiful Sophia against her will, Sophiana yielded. When Massinissa heard that his fiancee had been married to Syphax he hastened to the tent of Hasdrubal, where he waited for the first time, was grieved at the injury done his brilliant young friend, but would take no stems to redress it. Forced to choose between the public good and the public was the public good, Hasdrubal decided for Syphax. That decision was to mean the doom of Carthage. The Carthaginians had taken a sinmore unhuey. They had not reckoned with Massinissa. Deserls Carthaginians Hot with anger, Massinissa quit the Carthaginian camp to return to his native land. Before leaving Spain, he ceased his camp and private talk with him. On the way back, Syphax sent him to capture Massinissa, but he escaped and finally arrived in Massylla. In the meantime, his father had died; and, welcomed by the people, he was now Syphax, eager for revenge, descended upon him, and defeated him in battle after battle. Dangerously wounded in the passage of a river, Massinissa was forced to hide out of companions in a cave. To cut off pursuit, he gave out that he was dead. GOD "I love better to depend on a Numidian than a Roman. I prefer those born like I, under the skies of Africa. Let death take me rather than a Roman." Loses in Love and in War But undiscouraged, he gathered another army and again he was beaten by Syphax. Neither in love nor war did he seem to have any success against this great rival. He more note he fugitive. Then he may have been queen that Scipio had landed, on the African coast with an army, and with great difficulty Massinissa made his way to him and offered to become his ally. With him were only five followers, But Massinissa as will be seen, alone was equal to an army. Scipio, who had already felt the force of his genius, welcomed him. Marches with Selplo Rallying his people once more, he began to call for the allied Numidian and Carthaginian armies commanded by Hasdrubal and Syphax. In inferior in numbers, he was able to rely on strategy. They began by a pretense at wishing to make peace. "I love better to depend on prefer those born like I, under take me rather than a Roman Noting that the Numidian camp was built of reeds, the two set fire to it one night. The Numidians, not knowing to fight it, leave their arms behind. On this the Romans fell on them with terrific slaughter. In the Carthaginian camp, the sentinels had seen in them the fire, awakened by the cries, made the same error and rushed toward the fire unarmed. As to the cries of the wounded and the dying, they thought these also were stealing into the Carthaginian camp also set it on fire. Carthaginian Camp Destroyed Caught by the flames, men and beasts, fell into the fire or on the swords of the allies. Forty-five thousand of the enemy were killed and wounded; 17,000 Numidian horses were captured and the Syphax, utterly routed, fled behind the walls of Carthage. Rallying, Hasdrual and Syphax prepared for another battle. "The disastrous battle of Syphax by fire; not by battle, One is inferior only when beaten by arms." Once more the four leaders met in battle. This time Massinissa arranged that he would be opposed to Syphax; and the former, made redoubtable by his first victory, swep his enemy before him. In vain Syphax pushed his horse in his arm, and Massinissa armed him to inspire his men. The rout was complete; and Massinissa, catching up with Syphax, cut down his horse and made him prisoner. The beaten army had taken refuge in Cirta, Syphax's capital, and Massinissa pushed on there. Was it the victory in Cirta or the defeat in Cirta a prize he deemed greater than all his victories—Sophonisa. Text by BEN DAVIS, JR. by A. W.

He decided that it would not do for Leius to accompany him. Skillfully he used argument, and he kept the garb behind he pushed ahead. Finds SophonIsba Arriving before the walls of the city, Massinissa displayed to the citizens their king loaded with chains. Quickly they surrendered, and Massinissa, in all the ardor of her kingdom, entered through the gates. Once inside she spurred his horse to full speed, thrue the city, past the palace gates, and up the steps. There Sophonisba in the full bloom of her marvelous beauty was riding her horse Massinissa went to meet her: feeling more than ever her prisoner. She also came to meet him and a Numidian than a Roman. I r the skies of Africa. Let death ." throwing herself at his feet began to plead with him not to give her over to the Romans. "The gods, thy courage, and thy fortune," she said, "hath given them power over us, but if it is permitted to a captive to embrace the knees and touch the hand of a conqueror, I pray thy, by which we ourselves may master but yesterday, not to hand me over to the capreof some cruel Roman. Dispose of my myself." Overcome by Love But Massinissa, overcome by his love, was speechless while Sophonisa went on: "I love better to depend on you, but I prefer those born like I. under the skies of Africa. Let death takes me rather than a Roman." Massinissa, letting her to her feet, embraced her, assured her that she still loved her and would save her. But he had to think quickly. Sophonisa was in reality a Roman sophonisa was on the way with his soldiers, and not far behind him was Scipio. There was but one way. It was a bold and foolhardy way, but it seemed the only one. He would have been a fool, and his wife, she could not be treated as a -ap squarus ue nounjo -andrea lay he had the ceremony performed, when Lellus arrived and heard what he said, "I am angry that he wished to snatch Sophonisa from the marriage bed and send her off with the other captives, but Massinissa was too powerful to be offended thus, so he agreed to the matter rest until Scipio came. Scipio arrived and, as fate had it, he saw Syphax first. Fate Intervenes New Syphax was crazy. He knew that Madam Teresa his wife, and he would rather see her dead. When Scipio reproached Syphax, recalling his past fortunes, and wishing to know why he had rejected the woman, he asked his former friends. Syphax replied: "Yes, I have committed a great fault, an act of folly for which I am now extremely sorry. But the Romans were the arms against the Romans was the end, not the beginning of my folly. Syphax Pleads "My ruin began when I fell in love with Sophonisa. No man can withstand her and she is passionately devoted to her country, and though I was our friend, her charms made my love of her corpse my love for her that precipitated me into this misery. He added: "Now I am ruined, but I have one consolation and that is to see her pass into the hands of her husband. He noiser than I. His youth will make him feebler yet. Has he not in marrying her shown a blinder passion and folly than myself?" Selipio who added, in inclined to this subject of the matter now saw the thing in a different light. Why, indeed, this sudden marriage in the midst of arms even without consulting Lelius? Why this eagerness to marry a captive? Surely it was a mistake. Sending for Massissa, he spoke to him as a brother: MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS 12 (Continued from p.ge eleven) worths never speculated as to her private life. They took her as they found her. But she so subtle are the forces that knit human relationships together that the time arrived without their realising it when they of serious importance could affect when the participants in the strange partnership without bearing upon the destinies of the other. Fortunes had waned in the little brick house. Polly was approaching the time when she would graduate from her school. She would forward and backwedge, speak French, spell perfectly and do sums in elementary arithmetic. So much for what might have been classed as commercial assets with which she met the general extent of the gentle and charming old ladies she had absorbed the old Southern gentlewoman tradition that had lingered on in the disintegrating old school. She was beautiful, and sheanced beautifully, and in her eyes was that unalterable word that men seeing, answered. She already had a host of beaux, and the career to which she had belonged tradition, and instinct, resolved itself in its particular detail to a matter of selection when the proper time should arrive. But she must be given an opportunity of appearing to her parents from a period that would lie between graduation and marriage. Saint was a disappointment to every one but Mamba. He had failed utterly to yield to the standard he was sensitive and took refuge from humiliating realities in a dream world of his own. The result was absent-mindedness. Teachers at the school a forlorn belief them. A gangling adolescent of seventeen, out of school and not yet at work, practically penniless with the hoop of an animal he spent most of the time roaming the waterfront. His acquaintances who caught glimpses of him in those days decided that he waself confirmed neer-do-well. Not that he was dissipated. It was probably worse. The old town looked with indulgent eyes upon youth in its wild-oats stage. He was a tradition understood. Good blood could be counted upon to win through in that reckless period. Fathers and uncles would exchange information of today while they implied a vanished but far more adventurous youth of own. "Get it safely over with, then marry and settle down." Young blood, young blood. "Yes, undoubtedly boys not only would, but should, be boys. But Saint was a boy who obviously did not even have a heart. Young blood, poor Kate Wentworth a widow. too the boy felt it rising in the air about him like a tangible wall—a wall against which he could bruise him out from which he could not escape. Sometimes at the waterfront he would forget. There were sights there that had nothing to do with him, and that were detached from actuality and seemed to invade the territory of dreams. Negroes crossing a dock head single, with cuffs on his back, were against a blue-green sea horizon. He'd like to catch that so that it could not elude him again; fix it in his hands and walk away with him—paint, maybe. But one could not study to paint, one could not study anything until one had passed in algebra; there it stood, a blank canvas of knowledge. It had to be mastered before one could go on. Well, he had been born without that kind of a knowledge, fortune and were getting ahead. He had been dropped from his classes—the fate of the fool. He was at least logical enough to follow that to its conclusion. But here he was Only Mamba seemed to understand the boy. Days would come when the old woman would grow restive under her straitjacket of respectability, and the two would be in a corner of the kitchen yard seated on an empty packing case. Mamba, with her disguise laid aside, and a look of low and humorous cunning or her lined face, would be nodding her gray tarantula up and down while the tote stand up and down the counter. Daughing his shy, quiet laugh and forgetting himself in the tale. . . . Summer came, and with it a desperate decision on the part of Mrs. Wentworth; a decision that quite unexpectedly resulted in an important victory. That one may know how desperate the situation in the little brick house had become, it is only necessary to say that the house, the shore furnished with the Wentworth plate and linen, and that a limited number of 'paying guests' were to be permitted to share the sanctity of a Wentworth home, and to be treated with the family: Maum Netta was as a matter of course, and at the ferry that was to convey them on the first phase of the journey, the house was hired by a Negro woman, but him a look of great importance. Upon arriving at their destination this individual was found to possess a reputation for cooking, an enormous appetite, and two women, an entirely adequate tenor voice. Mamba was living well now, and she should have been happy. She should have been happy. She suited her fancy. The kitchen was far enough from the house to allow almost constant singing. There was a shady breeze sweep. She was at night the unremitting flow of broad sea winds under the soft summer stars. But that mysterious fire in her spirit negroes tried to laugh her out of her preoccupation, but without avail. Sometimes in the middle of a song the Negroes plaza rail, gazing over the bay to where the lights of the town created a false illusion of dawn against the west and her eyes would be filled with light. By August Mrs. Wentworth's venture had proved itself to be a distinct success. The house was well filled, and pleasant. We yielded, yielded, yielded, profit that promised well for the future. But to Mamba, the month was tremendous and memorable, for it brought an enlightening speech-making enigma to the reader's mind. Judge Harkness had arrived for a rest immediately after the June term of court. It is unlikely that a more immediate rest would be the sands of Sullivan's Island since the historic days of General Moultrie. He was tall, and of a commanding presence, and the proper finish was added to his appearance by a well-clipped beard and pince-nez. Maum held him socially with the tribute: 'Me an you. Cook, we call culled folks' talk. Miss Wentwort, she tells white folks' talk, but de Jedgehill don't speak nutting but de grammar. But the judge was too closely allied with the law for Mamba to admit By DU BOSE HEYWARD his superiority. She had a way of sucking her tooth with a loud, derisive sound, and she employed this method of expressing his desire to the method he was disused. Once she contributed her comment, and with it stripped him to the fundamental weakness of the male. "Yas. Ah seen um once, a-settin on bench wud he long black robe on, sendin 'nigger tuh jal, like he been Gawd. But don' yuh fergit, onnerneat' dat black robe he got on two-leg pants same like Cook dere. Now the cook had acquired a reputation among the Negresses of the neighbourhood, and the connotation freighted her remark with outrageous impulses with imprecation. Maum Netta pretended at first not to understand, then frowned her disapproval. Mamba, enjoying her own audacity, improvise stills, and sit there looking darkly mysterious. This particular August morning was in the midst of one of the hottest spells of the season, the waves could be seen crawling up the beach and dissolving into low, monotonous breakers, as though reluctant to release their cooling water. The judge had risen early and gone in for his morning dip. Several guests sat listlessly on the plaza, waiting for breakfast with pre-coffee indifference to life so common in the American city. Mamba was cleaning a pan of fish in the kitchen when her keen ears caught sudden excitement of the smell of the house. She dropped her pan, and, trailing a suggestion of whiting behind her, ran to the plaza and gazed over the heads of the guests who were there, their coffee for the moment forgotten. In the shallow surf, not a hundred yards away, a most amazing sight presented itself. The judge was standing near and forth over a section of beach that might have measured twenty-five feet square. The agitated movements of the body, the turning at a given point, though stout and steel inevitably suggested the caged animal. "Why, he's gone crazy," one of the women shrilled. Suddenly the strange performance cost the judge got to his feet and started toward the house. As he passed the plaza on his way to the rear entrance, it seemed to the onlookers that his dignity had fallen from him. His figure in front of him was the most of the drinking one. One hand was held over his face but was unable to conceal the bright of sensility that seemed to have settled upon him. The gained his room and closed the door behind him. A babblement of speculation and comment burst forth but was immediately met by Mrs. Wentworth's smile, and she seemed a little upset," she remarked quietly. "I am sure he will appreciate silence in which to collect himself. Saint, you must go at once and see him, and see him, and see him, is unlikely that the shy, self-conscious boy ever experienced a more cruel moment. But there was actual physical propulsion in Mrs. Wentworth's voice that morning, and seemed visible to the reluctance of the man and the man him through the dreaded portal. The guests waited eagerly for Saint's return, but when he came they were doomed to disappointment, and the guests kitchen door and summoned Mamma. When he had conducted her out into the middle of the road, safely out of earshot of the house, he said: "I think--the old boy lost his teeth." The woman bent double in the silent folding contortion that served her for laughter. The boy continued: "And, as he never wears his glasses in, of course he could not find them. I thought of you right away and told him you'd go down and look for them. That cheered him up a lot. Says he'll give you five dollars if you find them before the next car to town." Mamba was very serious now. "You ain't forget yo' frien, does yo' Mls-tuh Saint? Ah'll git right down." The morning advanced and the heat became intense. There was no breeze from the sea and the sun was a white dazzle on the broad, flat beach. It would be noon before the judge could get his car to the city, and up to the last moment Mamba could be seen engaged upon her search. Then, almost in the moment of the judge's departure, drama developed at the little station. The unfortunate man left the cottage and hurried toward the tracks with a furtive air. Mamba approached from the beach and was joined at the house by Saint. Mamba raised her eyes, and for a moment the boy was puzzled by what he saw there. He got the odd impression that some conflict was taking place behind them, some of the woman wanted to keep to herself. This was not like his friend. She told him things, just as he did her. A question was on his lips. Then suddenly she looked down, and her eyes were quivered slightly and she mopped the moisture from her brow with a corner of her apron. "No, Ahn't fin' um," she muttered, "an, Gawd, Ahn't an' were corner trembled. "Well, he's got to give you something, anyway," the boy asserted with a new note of authority. "Come a corner, the cars were pulling in when they resumed the session. They had no time to lose. Saint touched Judge Harkness on his sleeve, and a face was turned toward him that would have been mirth-provoking had it been for its pitiful defenselessness. The authority in the boy's voice was going, and he spoke hurriedly on the last of its ebb: "This old man was going to call all morning. She did not find—anything. But she's awfully hot and tired and all that." The man fumbled in his pocket and drew out a two-dollar bill which he handed to Mama. "All aboard!" shouted the conductor. Judge Harkness combed the steps. The wheels commenced to grind on the sandy tracks. Saint felt his body leaped past him and on to the platform of the Jim Crow car, Wheels were humming now, and windows sliding past in a blur of glass and faces. The only smile the race arm an awakening to was a real window. Dumfounded, he looked into the wide laughing eyes. Then Mamba smiled that broad unforgente. single-booted smile of hers, hers, hers. He was a Saint had ever known. A sudden premonition smote the lonely boy and etched the strange picture indelibly into his memory. It was well beyond his memory. More than twenty years before he saw it again on Iamba's face. Under the pelting heat of the autumn the moment that it landed in the street 'shine opposite side' (of the street) 'shine opposite side' (of the street). One of them was The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, October 5, 1929 Harkness: the other. Lamba. Harkness; the Sother, Lambda. Taking the least frequented streets, they cut across the city, the inn faintive and ill at ease, the wimmy familiar with the secret of the city, Lambda, while the hunted its 'very rays' down upon her unprotected head. When they arrived at King Street, with its shop windows and 'panging signs, their ways apart, grooved, grooved, grooved, hesitated moment before an unobtrusive brass plate marked DENTIST. then plunged through a door into welcoming gloom. Mamba continued or discontinued, fastened against the front of a building, that had often engaged her fascination regress. In it were a number of examples of dental art, and its centre a complete set of teeth opaque, with the teeth chewing with a slow, hypnotising rhythm upon an imaginary cu Mamba knew this place by rutation. It was here that her wealth friends came for her and climbed a flight of stairs to the office. Through an open door she saw a young man in a dirty white coat sitting in a dittany chair, reading a newspaper and climbed his eyes, therer away his paper and stepped eagerly forward. "Can I do anything for you, Auntie?" he asked superfluously. In portention: silence Mamba hosted her apron up and unlined her skirt. The exhibition to the astonished gaze of the dentist a dollar bill. eight-five cents in chance, and a fordable set of teeth, which, upon examination, reaffirmed the her interests were filled 'thsand "What do you want me to do with these?" he asked. "Fit 'em tuh me." "Were they made for you?" "Not zactly, but most." The man handed them back. "Sorry, but you have to get them made for you. Now, for forty dollars..." Mamba laid her hand on his arm. He stopped speaking and looked up in surprise. He had not noticed her eyes before. Now he was looking at him that made him hesitate. She had his hand now, and was fumbling with his fingers, keeping her eyes on his 'll the time. She pressed the money into his hand that still held the teeth, then closed it tightly between both of his ears. Mamba, still holding his hand closed so that he could not return her possessions, plunged in her plea. "Here's you 'an me 'an dem teen' an, one dulch an 'eighty five cent all right here to together now. I done tek you to be here. If obber get separate' now, Gaw know it eber happen now. Gaw know it tuh fix 'em somehow. Boss. We jus' guts tuh!" "But, Auntie, it's like I told you," Auntie said. "I done tek you. Ah tuh huh hab 'em tuh some' plicar. Now, how's dis? Dere's a plicar. lodge insurance 'n an' dery is a family Ah knows what jus' gots dere goin' get goil 'eet'. Now yo go long em tuh me dose huh 'e呵 be ing em all tuh dis shop. You e呵 Ah don't." The dentist laughed. He could not help it. He was entirely unconvinced as to the existence of that family, and he was not in by that sort of stuff? He stood looking down at her, and his laughter stopped. Now he felt something about the comic old figure that was standing in by that sort of stuff? He could not define but that somehow stirred his rudimentary imagination. He was something exerted against him that he could not define but that somehow stirred his rudimentary imagination. He was something big here, too big for the pitiful subterfuge that it had employed. Slowly he became aware of the conviction that some tremendous and then wonderful thing, and that it rested with him whether it should triumph or fail. Charity. No, not that, somehow. Chivalry, then women. A far glimmer came to him from a boyhood buried under ugly years of Negro dentistry, a figure in armour, Sir Galaahad, or someone else, the way he used to feel when he went to do those silly things for women and knew he wasn't going to get anything out of it. Then at this moment of himself, he laughed outright. Mamba knew then that she had won. Now she must clench her victory. "Gawd bless you. Boss," she exclaimed. "When now." Fascinating man was smiling down at her. "There's no saying to you. is you. there Aunty?" Then, a moment. "No. not today. But come in to-morrow and we go." Mamba started to carry her treasured possession away with her, but at the door she thought better of it, returned, and handed it to the den. "What's the story she begged?" "Dey is too valuable tu carry 'bout de street." Then, wagging her head up and down, while she added in a deep-throated, dramatic whisper: "Yas, suh, yo mightn't be meble, but dem quiet teet' whent yo is holdin' so sate an' purty in yo' case we cut a mug." She then 'sen' plenty ob 'nigger' tu meet dere Gawd. The dentist started and looked down again. Against his palm the snout of now of窒s seemed suddenly to become fierce, almost carnivorous. When he looked up for further explanations Mamba had gone.

Black King In Struggle For Mastery of The World (Continued from page 11) "I believe, Massinissa, that you have seen in me several qualities, you, who first came to seek my friendship in Spain and again in Africa, you, who have confided to me all your faith and hopes. Scipio Adylses "Of all the qualities which you have recognized most in me, the quality of which I am most proud, is my continence—the empire I widen. I am the most passionate Massinissa. I would like to see crown all that has already distinguished thee. Because, believe me well, at your age we have less to fear the passions which besiege us." Going on to say that a victory over himself would be greater than his victory over Syphax, he continues: "I will have defections rather than to speak to you in a manner to hurt your pride, but permit me to say this first: Syphax, his throne, his country, lands and people, his all are now the property of all men with which I lies in the hands of the Roman Senate. "Is not his wife a part of all this? Is she not accused of having alienated me, and thrown him into the war against us?" "Now I urge you to be victorious over yourself. Do not nc' tarnish all your virtures by a single vice. Do not efface all the services you have effected, and step the, effected, which will be to nullify all that you have done." Between Love and Duty Massinissia's heart was as lead when he heard this. He began to plead and tears came into his eyes but Scipio sent him to his tent to meet him. There, alone, he spent several hours torn with anguish and uttering groans that could be heard on the outside. To have loved Sophiahina all these years and now to be forced to forgo them, he told her to keep her would be his ruin and the ruin of his people; to give her up seemed impossible. She saw her being led a captive behind the walls of his house and the thought was torture extreme. Then, seized at last by a sudden decision, he called his favorite slave and bade the slave give him a certain package he always carried on him. Pouring it into a cup he bade the slave take it to Sophisba. "...'ay to her." he commanded. "I would have to marry her but a superior force has made it impossible. Now the only thing left to me is to keep my second promise not to let her fall in love. My father, the remembrance of her father, the illustrious general, and the thoughts of her country dictate her conduct." Senhousba Accepts Sophonisla received the fearful present calmly: "Tell him," she said, "that I accept the wedding present and without regret. If it be true that my husband can do no more for his wife. Tell him also that I would have died more intelligibly if more time were between the wedding and the funeral." A few moments later she was dead. When Scipio heard the news, he was troubled lest the fiery Massissa surrendered and only then, had he learnt the full story. Sending for Massissa, he presented him to the assembled army and claimed him king of all, Numidia. Massinissa Acclalmed "Then he gave him a crown of gold and a seepte; threw over his shoulders a toga bordered with purple, and put a tunic such as only Roman citizens of the highest rank could wear. "There is no honor among the Romans greater than this," said Sebpio, and you are the first stranger in Rome deemed worthy of wearing the toga." But Massinissa had taken a secret oath to be revenued against Carthage and took a tunic in Rome joy reigned when it was known that Hadrusdal was dead and Syphax a prisoner. Massinissa's sacrifice made a great impression on him, and his envoys were treated, like kings. Hannibal Appears But Carthage was far from being beaten. In the next campaign Carthage fought together. This time they had to tend with the formidable Hamulai, who, quitting Europe, had returned to Africa. Hamulai had tried to capture the city, but he had remained faithful to Rome. The two forces met at Zama, Again Scipio and Massinissa resorted to strategy. In the forefront of Hanseatic phants, Scipio caused the triumphes such a blast that the beasts became Milk Makes the Difference pant-striicken and, turning, spread havoc in Hannibal's army. At the same time Massinissa with his cavalry swept down on the left wing of the enemy and soon the Carthaginians were in flight. Thev Clash In this combat Massinissa and Hannibal came to blows. He wounded Hannibal in the shoulder while the latter sled his horse. Massinissa had intervened and Massinissa slew him. As he did so he received several darts on his shield of elephant's hide, and snatching out one threw it at Hannibal. Again another received the same. Massinissa tried to pull out another dart from his shield, he was wounded in the arm and forced to retire from the field. But it was only to dress his wound; and, mounting another dart, he was in the hope of capturing him alive and presenting him to Selpio. But night coming down, Hannibal escaped. Of the Chariottinians, 25,000 were killed, and 8,800 made prisoner. Last lost 2,500 men and Massinissa 4,000. Peace Returns Now ensued a period of sixty years during which peace reigned between Rome and Constantinople. Massinissa devoted himself, to the development of his king- dom. From a tribe of robbers and Maurades, the Numidians became people of the day, and Cirta became a centre of learning. Massinissa had a powerful army, a rich treasure, a bounty from time to time he sent alto Rome. Maintains His Brilliance Massinissie was now eighty-eight but he had not forgotten his oath to be revenged on Carthage for the loss of Sophonisa. At last, he caused Carthage to declare war on him, and he was able to meet the enemy. Two of his generals deserted him, but in spite of the years, his brain had not lost its cunning. Meeting with the enemy, he pretended to flee and drew it on until he had reached a great barron plain surpassing the heights of all means of subsistence. Then he made a stand occupying the plain while the Carthaginians seized the heights, thinking they had the more advantageous position. "Day came," says Appian, Massinissie, "and the old strong and vigorous soldier, was mounted on horseback without saddle or other covering as is the custom of the country; equally acting in the capacity of general and soldier, for the Numidians are the lustest of all the people of Al- Carthage Trapped The Carthaginians, as was said, had thought that in occupying the hills, they had the superior position. But soon they saw their error, for Massinissa, surrounding them, after eating the horses and even the leather of their saddles, the Carthaginians surrendered after promising to pay a heavy annual tribute. But Massinissa's victory was to have another effect. The Romans, seizing on the pretext of Carthage on an ally, descended on the weakened republic and destroyed it utterly. Sophonisha Avenged Thus was Sophionis avenged, but Massinissa did not live to see it. He had died a few days earlier, aged nearly ninety. Livy, Polybius, Appian, Justin and all the historians of the period speak in highest terms of him. Polybius says, "Missinissa was the greatest and the happiest sovereign of our epoch. He retrained more than sixty years in perfect health and died at the age of ninety. Physical Specimen "Physically he was the strongest and the most robust man of the time. He it necessary to stand, he could keep on his feet for days at a time; as to remaining on horseback, he could for days and nights at a stretch. "Thanks to the harmony that reigned in his family, his kingdom was never troubled by intrigue or domestic strife. But this was his greatest merit, his most admirable work: before him, Numidia was wild, uncultivated, and alien to all mankind. He was the source of new knowledge that all kinds of fruit like any other country. He has, therefore, more title and rights than anyone that his memory should be honored. A short time before his death he inflicted a great defeat on the Carthaginians. The day after the battle he was to be seen before his tent eating whole wheat bread." Changed History But for Massinissa, the history of the world as now written would have been different. One fact is certain: the fall of the Carthaginian republic in 1183, when a hundred years, took world supremacy from Africa, and gave it to Europe. Memory Honored by D'Annunzio Interest in Massinissa has been revived in recent years by a love story written by D'Annunzio, Italy's foremost writer. This story has been filmed and has been shown in the United States where this writer has seen it.

Bison Outlook Gloomy The former Northwestern star is in as tough a position as any football coach ever found himself. Despite ross reports of optimism in the 1929 football season on the Hillipot is gloomy. Only 18 men reported to Verdera in the cell for football candidates. In the two weeks that training has been going on, that original number has been increased by only 17 additional players, a change out of whom a Howard eleven must be rebuilt. Only Two Letter Men Only two letter men have reported. They are Mack and Marshall. Only two more are eligible to play, Sheilton and Hawkins. Schoathship requirement has been raised. The old stars. Dan Brown, Jack Coles, Jack Young, Harry Webb, Harry Payne, Simpson, Ewell, Hall and others, will be sorely missed. Jack Young and Harry Payne are assisting Verdell. But even they must learn his style of play. Payne and Young were tutored by Jackson and others. Their play were unlike. Verdell brings with him the Northwestern system. Menp All Bookies At this time, however, it is not a matter of learning a system. The two assistants is teaching the candidates who have reported for practice football basketball.

Learn Your Real Condition Our laboratory tests of blood, urine and other secretions give you immediate and positive knowledge of the location, extent and degree of your disease. These methods differ greatly from the examination of urine made by the ordinary family doctor or the life insurance examiner. The ordinary tests are often sufficient for determining the state of general health, but for an accurate diagnosis of most chronic diseases and weaknesses, a special analysis must be made. If you want to be successfully treated for any special disease or weakness you should consult a real specialist who confirms his opinion and diagnosis of your condition by a laboratory analysis of your blood and urine. This is the only proper thing to do for you cannot afford to take chances with anything so vitally important as your health. When you come to our offices to have these tests made, all will be made so plain to you that you will have a good understanding of your own needs, and you will thereby realize just what our direct treatment will do for you. Knowing this you will want to co-operate with us in securing it: very best results. The time to complete these tests is now. Do not invite complications by delay.

CHEYNEY VICTOR IN FIRST GRID BATTLE CHEYNEY VICTOR IN FIRST GRID BATTLE By GEORGE W. BLOUNT Reserving their strength for a great second half drive, the Cheyenne gladiators, playing on the field field, swiped home from the High School of Wilmington, to a decisive 2-6 defeat. After Howard's score the prospective teachers tightened their defense. Their aggressive play against the attack at the opening of the second half and before the third period was up Rufus Johnson of Pittsburgh. Cheyney's new back, had duplication. Barton's run, run, run and brought the score to 6-5, stalemate. It was at this juncture that Henry (Tiny) Foreman of Bridgeland, a newcomer to the Cheyenne and a series of bucks and end runs that completely dazzled Coach Naylor's Howard eleven, so effective was his plunging twice in that run, the first in the plinkin across the goal line. Lawrence Williams, a substitute quarterback, scored the fourth and final six-pointer. CHEYNEY L. E. Williams Tynex T. L. Johnn Diddell L. O. Haward Douglass R. G.

WILKINS UNDOUBTEDLY my brief acquaintance with Bill Gibson, the original "Heah Meal to Ta'u" man, has at least proved to him that I am capable of uttering a vast number of words without saying anything, (which is the first prerequisite to a columnist, as I understand). This is astonishing that the I act as "guestwriter" while I write for him this week. Comments on the statements which are made below, will be appreciated, and are solicited. DISPENSERS of sportive talents in the past have not devoted very much space to professionalism as it is often practiced by our high schools, colleges and other institutions of learning that are supposed to sponsor amateur sporting activities. It is my observation that instead of condemning these institutions for this untoward practice, sports writers in some localities have appeared apologetic for the instances have appeared to endure, and encourage these actions. Baseball, football, basketball, track and other sporting endeavors have their youths who follow the particular game for profit or for a livelihood or for gain. Some of them practice in a school without a true understaffing, while others without the meaning of the charge. They are truenpmen, men, they are not amateurs in the true sense of the word. This being the case, it should be the duty of the coach or athletic director to inform the athletes just how far they will be permitted to go in performing feats of athletics, and to mind of a young man on a Kansas City high school grid squad, who fought as a boxer at the same time that he was a backfield man on his high school team. The young man in question needed the few dollars earned as a boxer to further his education, and he was not apprized of the fact that he was practicing This resulted in the forfeiture of all games won in the conference in which the boxer-footballer had engaged, thereby causing his team to lose first place and other honors in the high school conference. This unfortunate occurrence could easily have been averted by the coach, whose duty it was to warn his charges against the acceptance of pay for any athletic endeavor while engaged in any sporting activity while in school. Any but a refractory person would have taken heed to the warnings of his coach and the amateur ring by the coaches on professionalism and amateurism as well as on passing and bucking the line at this time of the season, should occupy an important place in the colleges and other educational institutions. While it is not our custom to issue advice to those who are receptive to our authority than we, yet we cannot refrain from asserting that a coach who does not consider it proper to advise his charges on what is professionalism, should bear the fruits of his negligence. THE OLD ORDER of things no longer obtains in the present progress of sports. Changes are being or have been made in basketball, football, golf and at this time the ten-man baseball team change is being debated. Why? There are many reasons for these changes that may be stated without actually knowing any of the games, although one reason is that which will be sufficient—each of the different sports is a competitor against the others. Golf was losing out to polo; a change in the size of the ball was made, which it is believed will encourage more people to practice the game. Basketball and football rules have been altered to allow more changes and give the public a better understanding of some plays which formerly seemed to be the cause of many controversies. Interest in baseball increased considerably during the season by the introduction of the "lively ball," it is safe to say game interest still held as far as pitching was concerned, but good pitching was becoming a rarity, and interest in the "inside" features - hit-and-play, run, squeeze play, base stealing, and the spectacular one-man feature - was wanting when we demand a demand as a batter in football when one man is real action in fifteen minutes than in two hours of some baseball games. Today, fans go to games largely to see hitting—and so it is, the lively ball is saving baseball by giving the fans what they want—slugging and action other than the mound and the pitcher. The mound is the place where anything behind the line of scrimmage, take chances, pass open things wide, without fearing loss of the game through one fumble as heretofore. Opportunities are now afforded every coach to exercise his ingenuity for the development of the pitcher, spectacular football the game known, and all properly within the rules. Some of the new football rules follow: 1. Backward passes must be thrown two yards through the air to come under the former ruling. 2. The defensive point of recovery if retrieved by kicking ball; ball to receiving team if it gets out of bounds, regardless of whether it was touched in field of play by kicking team after having been fumbled. 3. In all shifts players must come to a stop for one second after coming out of huddle; one player may be in motion, provided he comes to a definite stop before the ball is put in play. 4. On all forward passes no player of the team is possession of the ball or of the team's own teammate in any manner with an opponent. The word "before" has been inserted into the rule to discourage screen passing. 5. Any kicked ball which strikes the goal posts is to be ruled dead. 6. Close line play is in the space between the two defensive tackles and three yards either side of the scrimmage line. VERY SOON NOW the world series between the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia Athletics will hold the attention of the baseball fans the country over. After the series is over a person may be able to read about how each man worked in the games. How many stolen base hits are there, many stolen base hits on balls, errors, many balls were pitched, how many strike-outs each pitcher made, and other data which are important insofar as all statistics are for future consultation and comparison. Why should these figures interest race baseball? Probably they do not, yet they should be for no other reason than a glaring show-up of one team's players and "wrong" pitches. For over ten years the race has been attempting to play organized professional baseball with more or less failures, all because they will not pattern after what has been proved the proper methods. Each year a body of men has gathered to draw up a schedule make rules and plan a year of baseball hoping their plans work out better than expected for the fans. Inarti-plan, plans and schedules have come a-spill. Experience should have taught the different race leagues that if ten years of endeavor have not met the proper response from the fans, a change should be made. Nevertheless, experience seemingly has been gained. Nevertheless, experience seemingly has been gained. Instead of merely making rules and agreeing to enforce them, the leagues should see that they are rigidly enforced. A stipulation that a player be fined so much for misconduct and yet be permitted to do as he pleases without restraint will never make a successful baseball league. A player should be capital to invest, they should be interested enough in their capital to see that rules which are made to protect it are enforced. A player should not be allowed to "smash" mumps. come upon the diamond drunk, or directly from an all-night gin party to perform for thousands of paid fans. It is our fondest hope that accurate records of batting, fielding and defense last year as well as strict enforcement of training and playing rules. "Tacklin' Parson at Kittrell KITTRELL COLLEGE, N.C.-Rev. Rudolph Anderson, veteran fullback for Kittrell college, has joined his teammates here. It was thought that the "tackling parson" had carried the ball the last time for Kittrell college, when he did not show up a few weeks ago.

Mono- geneticoider of Salicylic acid --- ALL-STARS DIVIDE BILL WITH BLACK SOX ALL-STARS DIVIDE BILL WITH BLACK SOX White Club Takes Opening Game, 3-1, With Locals Taking Nightcap, 2-1. Darkness Halts Further Play, Meet Again Sunday. The Baltimore Black Sox received a big score Sunday, so much so that they were only able to split even in their double bill with Pride Maise's International All-Stars, white, losing the first and 3-1 and winning the dirt, 2-1. Disputs Marcelle's Hit A hit by Marcelle in the seventh inning, enabled the Sox to win this nightcap, but caused a turnover either or not the ball was foul or fair. The ball went down the right field foul line and dropped to the right field and egged the ball almost on the field. The sacks were loaded with this score 1-0 in favor of the fans, who had been drowned drove two runners across the pan. This was a signal for the fans who swarmed on the field and as darkness was descending made it impossible to play there. Sex Errors Beat Them The Stars won the first game on miscues by the Sox, none of their three tallies being carried. Three errors, a sacrifice, and Moore's pop to right field, all in the fifth inning, accounted for the three markers. The Arizzulari added to the number, take the field against the Black Sox again. Sunday afternoon in another twin bill. After this contest a number of major league luminaries be added to the lineup, the men and the women will be confirmed every Sunday until the weather be reasonable for baseball.

Va.—The Interstate High School Athletic Conference opens its fifth grid season with games Friday, Oct. 4, involving practice. New members have entered wholeheartedly into the spirit of the conference. Large squads are turning out at all of the schools and enthusiasm runs high. There is much conjecture as to the possibility of a new conference, repeating this year as conference champion. Armstrong Tech. Washington, last year's runner up, stands perhaps the best chance of coping the cup this year. Booker T. Norfolk, for chase, chose competition and with a new order of things. Norcom may loom as the proverbial dark horse. Huntington high of Newport News, usually well up in the running, finished badly last year and until a few youth engagements have tested her out. St. Joseph, too, stands excellent chances of springing a surprise this season. Talk Co-opration WASHINGTON - The initial meeting of the Western Board of Officials which convened at the residence of its secretary-breasurer, Benjamin Washington, gave indication of an intensive study campaign among its members, as one of the methods of increasing its efficiency. Team work among officials is no less necessary for the proper functioning of a football game, that is, the coordination of the contending teams, according to a statement in the paper by Mr. Washington on "Go-operation amping Officials," which was presented at the meeting. Teamwork among the officials through study and knowledge of the firmness with courtesy in enforcing the penalties, mechanics of officiating were some of the high points in the game, and the principal changes in the rules, as presented by Mr. Westmoreland, elicited cutte a departure from the public's conception of certain phases of the gridiron contest. 45 at Knoxville KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knoxville College Bulldogs, under the direction of Coach Wallace Hawkins, pry the lid off the 1929 grid season Saturdays, when they journey to Frankfurt, Kentucky for a game with Kentucky, State.

The practice took the form of a real game with regular fifteen-minute quarters, the assistant coaches acting as officials. It could be regarded first or second as they were distinguished only by the color of their jerseys, one wearing blue and the other white. The best men on the squad were evident, and a indicde by the score. A forward pass from Marshall to Mack over the goal line in the first quarter accounted for the only touchdown. A trick pass for the Bison would have been good, had Mack not been outside of the end zone.

WASHINGTON—That some form vented to inform foot ball fans what of score board or signals will be it is all about, is the prediction of Dr. E. B. Henderson, Director of Physical Education in the D. C. Public school system. Dr. Henderson's statement says: In popular sport, the people who pay, for the most part, can tell what it is all about. But in football, spectators are in general but little awards of much of what transpires. The writer will never forget the emotional alumni, years ago, when Terry after seemingly crowning the efforts of a long run with a touchdown was called back by Beckett of Baltimore for touching outside. Amidst vociferous non-academic language, the writer his footprints in the side-line and added. "He never touched outside." Although, one of the two had played football four years, he had never learned that the side-line, and then, his lines were outside the field of play. On another occasion, in a Howard and Lincoln game a hack of uniformity and goal has been used to goal has sports writers and spectators in doubt, for a long time. Other Games Basket-ball decisions are usually audible. In track, an announcer is in the middle of a jump and umpires have always used signals of one kind or another to indicate to the man who pays the money what he has said in decisions. A new whinkle has been devised. Some fertile brain has put a "mike" in the mask, a spike in the shoes and a steel place on the ball. The ball and strike umpire to make his voice audible around the world. Very soon the oft-times mystified occupant of seat number 9909 will be able to know the why and the how of the situation, if it does, instead of getting the garbled gleanings that the befuddled snorts, writer gathered. Signalling will be witnessed in many of the games this year. Recently, pictures of a Georgian Tech Coach, in the far north of Georgia, have been used to illustrate a manual code of signals. We shall see officials in our own games in various sections of the country using the same signals. Georgian Tech has illustrated. It is to be wished that the officials in all parts will use the same movements to designate similar situations. The signal, coupled with the resultant action should inform the controllers. Some day, an inimical mind will develop a score board or amplifying mechanism that will make more intelligent spectators of the great mass of those who now play football. This article will explain how the new rules will affect football this year. LYNCHBURG A.C.

Her really was: that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor.

May Murphy has Pretty Birthday Party. Dear Pansy: The past week really has been rushed with tidbits here and there, of expected fall brides to whom honor must be done—plus the summing up of social gossip and momentum as it has glided along through the past months. Card clubs are swinging wide their doors now and planning heaps of bridge luncheons and card tournaments for the fall and winter pastime. Far as learned to date, fashions in apparel for the Thanksgiving football classics, formal dances, and afternoon socials seemed to be the height of topic among the debbies and sub-debs. And from one who should really know, I learned just recently, with decided interest, that Cora Nelson became the bride of Ernest Holly last Wednesday, at Washington, D. My dear, isn't it too funny for words how things can happen to some people and other folks just stay out of luck? Cora Frey Nelson, for instance, just met Ernest Holly not quite a year ago, they are now a well-known motored to Washington, unbeknown to anyone on last Wednesday and were married. They are spending their honeymoon in Philadelphia and Atlantic City and will make their home at 2439 Woodbrook avenue. Mr. Holly is in the post office here and Corn, who is the widow of the late C. Nelson, was residing with her mother on West Lanevale street. Mardi Gras at Elks.

Alphna Peek Williams will of course, be among those most noted. According to the beautiful arrangement and decorations on the invitations, the hall is to be in accordance, surpassing all other artistic arrangements that ever have been staged there. The internes include Doctor Allen Howard, John Edwards, Reginald C. Neblett, Carroll St. Clair, Charles Decasseries, Lee C. Dudley, McKinley Reesley and Charles Woodland. It is said that they will wear original costumes. All the physicians in town, girls are patrons and expected with their wives or sweaters. In all, a brilliant affair is expected.

PAYING PLEDGES $1,667. of Recent Drive Pledges Have Been Paid. Following announcements this week that the Metropolitan Board of the Baltimore Y.M.C.A. would furnish $7,000 of the $11,000 needed to insure the continuance of the work at Druld Hill avenue branch is doing, the committee's management took steps to raise $4,000 for the work at the Sunday. Although $1,667 of the recent drive pledges have been paid in cash, and Secretary Anderson reports that, cash is coming in regularly from this drive, unexpected and pressing obligations have absorbed this and the branch finds itself still unable to proceed with its program. the matter was put up to the central organization and decided to help put the building in first-class shape. It will invest 7,000 or more in the office of management; can raise $4,000 in cash. A committee comprising President of the Board William Anderson. Secretary William A. Anderson and Secretary N. Jones, was appointed by the committee to put the matter before the public. It is planned to organize a team to make a personal design for the funds. campaign. The statement of the committee of management follows: A crisis in the life of the Drudg Hill Avenue branch makes it necessary for the colored citizens of Baltimore to determine whether it shall continue its existence in the community or close its door. Because of a lack of support the branch finds itself facing pressing obligations of approximately 1,000, in addition it finds itself in need of repairs and reinstallations. It has been estimated that it will cost approximately $11,000 to thoroughly repair and refurbish the building and pay off outstanding indebtedness. $1,687 of which has been paid. This amount has been applied to necessary current expenses, leaving nothing for improvements and obligations noted a- Of the $11,000 that must be raised if the work is to continue, the Metropolitan board of the Y. M.G.A. has promised $7,000. Divided the colored citizens, Baltimore contributed the remaining $4,000. This $4,000 must be raised within 80 days and must be practically all cash. The committee of management, believing that there are enough people in Baltimore whose interest in the Y.M.C.A. is sufficient to prevent its having to close, accepted the challenge of the Metropolitan board. We are therefore appealing for immediate and generous contributions to this $4,000 fund. F. A. A. Y. MASONS ELECT OFFICERS F. A. A. Y.
