BRIBERY ALLEGED Court Demands Indictment of Brusseaux. CHICAGO. (Special) — The Granady murder trial, now in its second week, was set in an uproar Friday, when Miss Margaret Welch, 29, a witness for the state, fell on her knees before the judge, raised her hands, and shrieked that she could not testify. She had been about to commit perjury she said. After this scene, special prosecutor Frank J. Loesch, white, nolled prosecution the murder charges against two of eight defendants, James Balcastro and John Armando, both white, against whom Miss Welch was to have testified. Lieutenant Philip Carroll, white, three members of his detective bureau squail, and two others are still charged with the slaying of Octavius Granady, a lawyer and candidate for committeeman of the Twentieth ward in the primary election, April, 1928. Falling to her knees, Miss Welch cried: "Protect me; th. protect me. It wasn't that I can't go on with it. I can't go on." A balltill hurried in to escort her into the judge's chamber. He lifted her up, but let go of her to open the door, and she fell down. It was said that Miss Delch was suffering from acute appendicitis. Instead of operating, she was sent to her home in Kentucky for treatment. Defense lawyers claim that Miss Welch was to be paid $1,000 for trumped-up testimony. Long Line of Witnesses A long procession of witnesses filed to the stand during the week and told of the excited chase through the streets which ended in the killing of Granady. The agent at Blue Island and Washburn avenue and ended a mile away at 13th street and Hayne avenue. Death Clase Three automobiles took part in the death chase, all of the witnesses said. First came the fleeing car with a bullet in the rear window. Then a Cadillac automobile, sounding a siren from which bullets poured at the first car, and a hundred feet behind sped a third automobile, a green sedan. Witnesses claim that the second car was a police car. One witness, a police警员-Marshell Couch, white, saw Armando shooting at the scene of the original attack, but he was not someone else. No other witness so far to testify, has been able to say that he saw a man firing from the running board of the squad car. These discrepancies have been responsible for two outbreaks by the court which claims that the character of the state's evidence was poor At one juncture when the judge had expressed himself against a man who presented films, evidence, "Gray Hairied" Leoch asech and thundered that the state had the evidence if the court would just be patient enough to perform. But whatever disturbances there may have been in any of the testimony of the state's witnesses, some facts have been repeated over and over again. Thoseense attorneys announce that they would prove that the squad car was not there. More than a dozen witnesses have agreed that the squad car was not there. More than a dozen witnesses have agreed on the description of the car and the presence of Lieutenant Carroll in the front seat beside the driver. More than a dozen saw one man shooting from the middle of the street. Brusseaux in Dutch Joseph McMilan testifying for the state, told the court that Sheridan Brusseaux, a detective, had offered him $1,000 if he would say from the courtroom what he had seen at Rockstein, or Sam Caplan, all white or any one of them, was among the murderers of Granady. He also swore that Loesch had threatened to throw him in the courtroom, but didn't testify as Loesch wanted him to. An anonymous letter, placed in the hands of the judge, also accused Brusseaux of other crimes. Judge (Continued on Page 20.)

OTHER CLASSICS Union Picked to Beat Hampton at Richmond. BY BILL GIBSON (AFRO Sports Editor) PHILADELPHIA.— Rated the underdog in the coming Thanksgiving Day clash with the Lincoln Lion, the Howard Bison, which hasn't won a game this season, will make its last bid for victory when the teams line up at Municipal Stadium, here. The weatherman has promised for the season a fashion show, attendance upon the game should be a huge success. The crowd is expected to exceed 10,000, and saying that "every dog has his day" seems to ring true here, as Howard, last year a 2 to 1 favorite over Lincoln, finds itself on the short end of 3 to 1 betting odds today. But the one to 1 betting show, attendance in eight games will not kill the Bison's fighting spirit, for against Lincoln, their perennial foe, they are expected to show their strength in Lincoln, defeated by Virginia Union and Virginia State, feels confident of a victory over the team, and the numbers are less than three touchdowns. Some doesteps have gone so far as to say that Lincoln will win by four touchdowns. That Howard has potential strength is not denied, and in the West Virginia State game, in Wilberforce game, and against Georgia, he has made a good form that once carried the Bluz and White of the capital had high in the realm of gridiron endocrine. He has also flaunted in Howards face this year, but it will only serve to enrage the "herd" and call for that fighting spirit that over a period of 25 years has changed games between the institutions. Lincoln Team Heavy The Lincoln team outweighs Howard on the line and in the backfield, the average weight of the Lions is 25 pounds, which is more for the Bisons. Thus Howard will be outweighed by more than 13 pounds per man. The Bisons will use the aerial attack, with the advantage in this department resting with Lincoln, whose receivers are regular and have more experience in Sydnius. The Lions will use the aerial attack in the work of Lewis and Clarke in receiving passes has been of high order. Lincoln has an abundance of receivers in the backbackers, from which to choose. Lewis vs. Marshall The Lions will use end runs frequently, with Bill Lewis and Anderson carrying the ball in most of his games. The Lions is Marshall of Howard, out playing behind a light and inexperienced line. Marshall has not had the opportunity to make the showdown against Baltimore boy, who last year was a shining light at end. He has been switched from end to the backfield in some of the games, but it is likely that he will game he will be back at his highest. No Captain at Howard Howard has played all season without a captain, following the ineligibility of captain-elect Webb. The Bisons have followed a system of choosing a captain based on the performance. Lincoln captain has been injured most of the season, and while he has fought heroically his condition has not permitted him to play his position at end to the top game. Jim Anderson will have it all over the Howard kickers when it comes to hotting the ball, the bite counterback, and notatenome 60-yard pass with a seven-yard ranging around 40 yards per kick. Lincoln Ahead In the 25 meetings of the teams, Lincoln has won 10 games and Howard. 8, and the teams have tied seven times. Howard, Hawk and Marshall to report, fans will get a chance to see new Bismaterial in action. Pevon, end: Adams, halfback; Ellis, 210-pound guard; and Pernal, quarterback, have all made good showings and will be watched by Lincoln. Considering the relative strenght of the two teams, this writer predicts that Lincoln should win by two or three touchdowns, more likely two Union-Hampton But there will be other classes attracting the public eye in other areas. The school scrap at Richmond an annual classic between the two schools, finds Union having the edge, with a possible margin of one touchdown. W. Va.-Wilberforce This classic, the pride of the middle-west at Columbus, Ohio finds the teams rather evenly matched, but if that West Virginia is one touchdown stronger than the Buckeyes. **Bluefield-Tuskegee** Here is a tilt at Tuskegee in which the West Virginia is Tuskegee, and I believe the Abbottville will come through by two tallies. **Smith-Livingstone** This is a Smith year at Salisbury, N.C. to the Bulls should chalk up at least four tallies to one by the Bears. **Va. State-A and T** This state at Petersburg is Virginia State all the time. At least two touchdowns should do the trick. **Morehouse-Talladega** Talladega has an edge, at Birmingham. Morehouse should overcome it and squeeze through by a half-dozen points. COP TOO POPULAR WITH WOMEN; WIFE THREATENS DIVORCE NEW YORK—Frank (Apollo) Pullis. New York traffic cop, is beginning to find out that women are a problem. He has learned that when the fair sex takes to a man, they take to him with a vengeance.

"They just follow me all over the place. It makes my wife mad. If I knew anyway to shoot these damn birds, what do you do to them or to the Chancellor? What do you do to a thing. I just look at 'em once, and they come a-running. I don't even give 'em a wink. Honest, I try to keep out of their way." Mrs. Pullis indignantly declared that women are so aroused over her fascinating husband that two of them tried to kill themselves.

Garvey's Enemies Want Him Sworn In Would Have Him in Council So Law Could Oust Him KINGSTON, Jamaica. — Garvey's enemies in the Council of Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation are eager to have him sworn in at once. One councillor suggesté that the town clerk and others go over to St. Catharine's jail and let Mr. Garvey be the reason for this haste is that the councilmen have found out that there is a law which states that though Garvey is elected, he is not a member of the council until he is sworn in. Another law states that if a councilor is absent for three meetings without leave, his seat is declared vacant. Since Garvey will not be released from prison until December, opponents deem this is an easy means to get rid of him. The matter was referred to the corporation solicitor for an opinion.

Have you heard the grumbling on the part of the ladies at the present fashion show? You have heard the share of independent females who view the changing mode with tears in their eyes. Not that they do not think the new goods lovely, alas, no. But, what is one to do with them they ask. It is all very well to be laid-back and wearing, but it does seem to be complicating mudly and already complicated existence to expert ladies to be softly feminine from rumble to ponder, while they contaminate the exigencies of twentieth century life. Pancy trying to cross a street screws, sting. These new goods belong to the past; these outraged ladies cry, and who has time to spend in any one period, these days. And so they have grumbled but gradually the ladies on a loosely structured fashion. For Washington women pride themselves on their chin, and it is time to abandon the stries and wager on the future, guiding them to a shady future. But winters in long skirts of short shapely figures or straight lines, the Capital City faces a unique Thanksgiving holiday. For the first time in year the Howard-Johnson coin classic is falling to the ground of crowds at the Bowery. From all in attendance will be comparatively few who follow the team this year. Of course the number will be greatly greeted by those who will desire to go at the same minute for the sake of the game. But for a greater number will attend the game in Richmond while there will be hundreds who choose to see neither the gridiron champions and will wend their way to Bowie for the song. This will be the first week-end for this season for which no important affairs have been planned, and unless numerous impromptu parties spring up, the stay-at-home city diversion at present seems to be little different between parties and jolly late superdances at the Bamboo Inn, which had become the rendezvous for social after dark, and where almost everybody is seen catching and dining at some time during the The Bachelor-Benedictus Thanksgiving dance on Friday evening was one of the most brilliant and colorful events of the week, and the best of being the first party given by the club since the installation of their new president, Mr. Maurice Clifford, and has the first large formal dance as which the judges were so gorgeous new guests in the new model.

Mrs. Lesda Denson-Smith wore a black gown with a circular beading. It was made with a peplum, which joined the full circular skirt to the slim shredded bodice, the waist-line, and the sleeves, the band of green drage and dunk taffeta. Mrs. Helen Tuck Colman has an unusual frock of black satin which was long and featured by a graceful panel embroidered with a deep blue velvet. Brandon's gown was of royal blue velvet with a deep decolletage from which swept a long panel gold pastementiere. She wore blue velvet slippers trimmed with gold垫底.

There is no quicker way to end a cold, and the pain which goes with it. Relief starts at once, so you needn't suffer even for a little while. Any doctor can tell you that Bayer Aspirin is safe to use freely. 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.

FOUND ILLITERACYCOMMITTEE IS LILY-WHITE Hoover Names No Negro on His National Advisory Body of Twenty-three. 5,000,000 IGNORANT Negro, Because of Prejudice Suffers Most. WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNS)—Despite the fact that Negroes, because of the present lack of opportunity for education in many communities, the national illiteracy rate of the United States no colored person was named as a member of the Advisory Committee on National illiteracy, appointed by the Department of the Interior, with the approval of President Hoover. The committee, composed of twenty-three members with Secretary Robert McCain, will meet December 7, for the purpose of organizing the work. Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama, among other states, average percentages of illiterates—are represented. No Negro was named. The United States, accustomed to leading the civilized world in almost every country, are among the powers of the world in the percentage of illiterates. Almost the entire civilized world is above it. They Suffer Most For years it was vaguely known that thousands of people did not know how to read or write. Prior to the World War these were believed to be practically all Negroes or most of the white men who suffer from prejudice. When young men, drafted for servi- s in the World War were exam- ined, it was found that nearly twenty-five per cent of the men between 31 and 40 were pre- dicted, legally illiterate and could not understand the orders given. A census enumerator indicates that more than 5,500,000 persons in this country ten years of age or over cannot read or white in English or any other language. Of the present study is to assemble those facts. When they are ascertained the members of the committee will recommend those remedies and methods which seem best under existing conditions.

BOSTON, Mass.—Addressing an audience of 2,500 at Cypress Hall Sunday afternoon, at a meeting held under the auspices of Rush A. M.E. Zion Church who is celebrating their 51st anniversary, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Chicago declared that "one of the worst crimes to my race is the accepting of money by so-called Negro leaders before and during the campaign. "After the campaign they have been bought and paid for and are not in a position to demand recognition from elected office-holders to the extent of demanding good paying jobs for capable men and women of the masses. These so-called Negro leaders should be allied more closely with the common people." Referring directly to Massachusetts, the fary Congressman said: "We need big things. The stand of Massachusetts in the treatment of the Negro is envied by the Negroes of other countries to me that you, too, should be united enough to be doing something." He suggested organizations as the best way to organize them were organized even in communities where they constituted just one-fifth of the population and voted intelligently they could demand recogniz No Back to Africa "I deplore this talk of back to Africa for the Negro," said Congressman DePriest. "Why. this country is the best country on earth. Stay here here for four years." The truth. We have fought in every war this country has ever been engaged in: that to my mind gives us the right that is accorded every citizen under the Constitution." The distinguished Congressman (until his death) will be the day when the masses of Negroes will be found in respectable homes. That too will enable us to demand our rights. But you must not overestimate the must. We vantage of the ballot and also learn the Constitution." Social Equality In speaking of social equality which he considered the propraganda of the white man, Mr. DePriest declared, "The first Negro to land in this country was a slave race today. Every shade of color of the human being under the sun is found there. That to my mind is a good illustration of the equal equality of Congressman and Mrs. DePriest were the guests of honor at an entertainment given at the Harriet Tubman House Sunday evening.

Dr. Payne Speaks on Sanctification Says Santification Is a Process Continuing after Death “The perfectionist holds that a Christian may become free from sin, but there is no basis for this in the Bible,” declared the Rev. A. J. Payne in a sermon to the Baptist ministers, Monday. Speaking on the subject “Santification,” the Rev. Payne further explained that sanctification begins in regeneration. “Regeneration,” he said, “is the birth, and sanctification the growth, of a perfect Christian. We become failures in Christianity and we hinder and burden ourselves when we begin to feel we are free from sin.” “God has a method of carrying us through a progressive process of sanctification into a likeness of the Christ, and,” said Dr. Payne, “I believe sanctification goes on after death. I do not feel that we can obtain perfection in this life. God is the only perfect being. If we can get up to Him, we are going some.” The Rev: Ernest Lyon, pastor of the Ames Memorial A.M.E. Church, is scheduled to speak at the next weekly meeting of the Ministers' Conference. Visitors at the meeting were Mrs. Roy S. Bond, Mrs. M. Balley of Winston-Salem, N.C., Mrs. M.

Dr. Herbert Parrish, white, retired New Jersey minister, writing in the Atlantic Monthly, says few pastors of churches are happy because they are under the domination of laymen. "To do your work," he said, "the ministers must be made free. They should be released from the necessity of building up elaborate organizations, of generally futile activities and becoming merely a social center, straining every effort of the government officials, of laboring under the limitations of small-minded men and betty officers. Their condition should be gnostic, very poor if you like, but independent with the sense of the vow of the militant, courtiers of the kingdom of God, messengers of the great king." Concludes Revival The Rev. J. A. Brown, pastor of Union Baptist Church, Atlantic City, has concluded a revival at Mt. Zion Church. Staunton, Va., has told that the "numbers" name has become such a vogue that even school children take part.

Said Mr. Rutherford: "God forbid that Christianity, with its message, should pass. Why be an intelligent, cultured man and undesireably choose the company of the devil."

But what can one expect the week before Thanksgiving? After all, a dull night or two should be marked with a red circle and duly appreciated. A habit, however, is a persistent animal, and uptown New Yorkers have the habit of going out and each and every night. Consequently, a blank on the calendar is cause for much consternation. THE WEEK opened at Small's Paradise, where the Howard Alumni club of New York University hosted a celebration of the Green Rudbeck managed the affair and successfully. The Paradise was packed with Howardites and their friends who came to watch the game. The jerseys to celebrate in the name of "Alma Mammy." They came early, feasted on the food, smacked their heirs over the Paradise's special chicken and waffles, skipped the aisle, stepped to Charlie Johnson's music, stayed at home and three trotted over to Leam's house and three foods" and Jerry's. In a full night. Midnite Show On Tuesday, Bessie Olle Miller and a committee composed of a number of socially active women, including Carris, Grace Kelley, Beaty Bearden, Bertha Cotton and Bernie Austin, sponsored the annual Cookman College institute at Dayton Beach, Fla. Her husband, F. E. Miller, and his partner, Aubry Lyles, arranged the bill which was made up of Broadway and Harper's Row. Crumplers Party. And now we jump to Friday. And it showed some form. Friday afternoon, "Las Estrallas" was delightfully entertained at the palatial apartment of Roberta Crumpler, 407 W. 16th Street. The apartment was beautifully decorated with flowers and autumn leaves which made a background for the lovely ladies. Seven tables of bridge were set. A battle royal followed, which gave the guest honors to Margaret Tompkins, Etta Cachemaille and Jeanette Brown; the club honors to Julia Fitzgerald, Mattie Bowe and Etta Hansborough. A delicious supper was served after which the surprise of the day was announced by Sergt. Battles, acting as master of ceremonies.

Three Dances In the evening one had his choice of the Renown club dance at the Renaissance—good, but youngish; the Merry Makers at the New Star Casino—very heavy and altogether tight-like-that; and the exclusive Les Douze club's third annual dance at the Walker Studio. I cast my lot with "The Twelve," and what a glorious time they had. The studio was all bedecked in streamers of Thanksgiving colors; a long table on which resided a punch bowl—and what punch—especially conceited by Dr. Diamond—nuts and candies, was dressed in a pumpkin and turkey-trimmed cloth; and in the corners were huge stacks of crisp corn stalks laden with yellow ears. A charm?—selling?—the club is noted for its novelty gifts which are presented to each guest upon arrival. This year the ladies received metal book marks and their escorts, brass elephant elgaret snuffers. The gowns were elegant, fit for a Paris fashion show, the members, themselves, setting the pace. Alys Lyons-Wright, the president, was queenly in trailing black fish net; Gardine Perkins, the secretary, and Betty Collins, the vice-president, selected the same sophisticated color, the one taffeta, the other velvet. Bated with Gardner favored make chiffon; Marle Thomson, dahils net; Ann Carlisle, cerise satin; Bess Myle, egg shell crepe; Dr. Mary Jane Watkins and Katherine Vogelsang wore flowered chiffon; Pearl Cowen, pink taffeta; and Ermine Coleman, green taffeta; and the treasurer, Marion Petitford, was lovely in blue lace. Jose Reyfess and Irane Alexander, origi- nally from the city, returned for the celebration. Irane, in gold satin set by off white, was never worn. She wore a *n blond goddess* in white satin a-tulle.

Our people seem to me to be oversupplied with an apathy or indifference to the world, and we did not have so far to go, perhaps it would be an excusable condition, but a race in its infancy of culture and creation needs energy. I believe that hanging would do, but a couple of bombs in a schoolroom or a church to make them move and realize that we are somebody, and that we must arrive at sometime. I might add that I am not an anarchist or a Bolshevist." THE GIGLOS. Margaret Ellise Smith, 709 Arlington avenue.—I should like to hang the men who tell me I am not dumb, yet expect me to I am not dumb, yet expect me to tell me that I remind them of their mother, yet leave me to spend lonesome evenings while they entertain girls they would not introduce to them the hypocrisy to listen to ministers in whom they have little or no faith, yet are too indolent and indifferent to have a faith of their own, who are not a woman in women whom they have cast aside, but is perfectly proner for their latest choice; who want the best woman in the world, yet offer her the dregs of an unworthy life.—If I could hang a couple of them with a warning to some others. I should enjoy a great deal of satisfaction in the delusion of just vainly imagining that the others might improve. COUNCILLOR MUM. City Councilman Walter S.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1908) A prophet has arisen in London who foresees that in the future the yellow and black peoples will rise and slaughter the Caucasians. He has written a book which causes no little discussion. Incidentally, he says that Japan and America will be the two great powers, while all the European powers will be allied and third raters. They will bloom outlook for our European friends. They need hardly worry about the matter, however, for it will be some time yet before the trouble comes.

No Intra-Race Color Line Writing from St. Catherine's prison, Kingston, Jamaica, last week Mr. Carus Garvey said: "There is a subtle and underhand propaganda fostered by a few men of colour in America, the West Indies and Africa to destroy the self-respect and pride of the Negro race by teaching them to us as a 'blue veil' arrogance and to foster same as the social and moral standard of the race. The success of this effort is very much marked in the West Indies, and coming into immediate recognition in South Africa, and is now gaining a wide way, and the skillful leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of 'Coloured' People and their silent but scattered agents. "The observant members of our race must have noticed within recent years a great hostility between the National Association for the Advancement of 'Coloured' People and the Universal 'Negro' Improvement Association, and must have wondered why DuBois writes so bitterly against Garvey and vice versa." Such a statement, typically Garveyesque, cannot help but provoke indignation among friends of Mr. Garvey who are otherwise in sympathy with his larger program. A declaration of this type arouses antagonism instead of co-operation. Because of mixed blood, persons with more white than Negro blood, have a right to choose to which race they shall belong, despite law or sentiment to the contrary. Mr. Garvey ought to know, and probably does know, that black and white cannot live side by side without mixing. That is the history of civilization. Why should against obvious biological and sociological laws? There is no extra-race color line in the U. S.—all of the so-called Negroes intermingle and intermarry; nor is there any movement sponsored by the N.A.A.C.P. or any other organization to establish an aristocracy of light-skinned Negroes. This isn't the first time that Mr. Garvey has gotten off on the wrong foot. Born in Jamaica, a land favored by climate, soil and natural situation with the best the world affords, Mr. Garvey left his home and launched a program for the redemption of Africa. Rejected in America and Europe, Mr. Garvey has gone back home and, visioning what his own country can become if inspired with the unity of labor and permitted control of their own resources, he sets out to redeem Jamaica. He has had himself elected to the city council, and the assembly. In the next few years Mr. Garvey and his followers can control the entire island with an area equal to that of the state of Connecticut and population of a million souls. If Mr. Garvey can put over his program in Jamaica, the world will be quick to recognize him as something more than a dreamer and visioner. But he will discover, if he lives long enough, that he cannot succeed even at home. If he turns aside from big principles to preach hate, antagonism and dissension as side issues.

More Howard University Air Programs President Mordecol Johnson's radio sermon Sunday morning was as courageous and statesmanlike as was ever delivered from a Howard University rostrum though on the same platform have stood Roosevelt and Taft, Bryan and Carnegie, Booker Washington and DuBois. Thirkield and McDowell. The doctrine he propounded was as simple and yet as radical as that of John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth. Like them, he thundered against the selfish and the prejudiced, the fundamentalists and the high church, the war makers and the oppressed barons. There was no dodging or tip-toeing. Wherever heads showed themselves, they were cracked with a stout cudgel. The time is past, he told the formal religionists, when people can be asked to accept literally what is on every page of the Bible. Such belief in the infallibility of the Book, he said, has given us our present denominational divisions and discords. The church, he said, doesn't need more members, more revivals or more buildings, but a reshaping of Christian practice, which they do not permit to permit the Negro to vote, to work in skilled positions, to live where he wishes. Dr. Johnson asked the simple devastating question: "Are you a Christian?" To the Hoover administration he suggested that there is no need to talk of peace as long as its policy is exploitation and greed in Haiti, Nicaragua and other small countries of the Caribbean. And he reminded heads of big businesses that as super-corporations they did things to workers and competition, which they would be ashamed to do, in presence of their own families. There have been few declarations more pointed and resolute. Our only regret is that in its delivery, the speaker turned aside from the microphone at times, causing listeners-in to miss a large part of the address.

Radio officials have long hesitated to offer Howard University a Sunday morning on the air, doubling whether President Johnson had a message that would interest the nation. Last Sunday must have been convincing. It leads the AFRO-AMERICAN to express the hope that Howard can find the donors during the year to defray the cost of more frequent broadcasts. It also includes as last Sunday not only addresses of the president, but musical numbers from the conservatory of music. If Howard University's football team could take the air Thanksgiving Day as President Johnson did last Sunday, there would be stark fear in the Lincoln camp.

The Catholic Encyclopedia (Vol. 12, page 270) 484 The kissing of th. pope's foot—the characteristic act of reverence by which all the faithful honor to the vicar o. Christ, is found as early as the eighth century. We read that Emperor Justinian paid this honor to Pope Constantine (708-716). Even at an earlier date Emperor Justinian prostrated himself before Pope Constantine (352-528). Smith's dictionary of English Antiquities (Vol. 2) page 166 describes this statement and adds that Justinian incident occurred "on meeting him (the pope) in Bithynia." Murray's guide_book to Rome, referring to presentations to the bone, saves: "It is the etiquette that Protestants should show the same mark of respect to His Holiness as they do on being presented to a foreign or a bishop. Roman Catholics should be to their duty towards the head of their Church to kiss the pope's foot or knee, or to make such an obeisance as to show that they desire to do so." From the book that indicated that the particular respect or homage referred to, is not obligatory even for Catholics; and moreover, there is no designation of any special part of the foot. It should be added, that none of these obeisances apply to women unless they are in the presence of the pope merely walks past them—standing in line—and bestows a blessing on those requesting it. Alexandria, Va Belay Thanks AFRO-Declares He Received 90 Per Cent of Colored Vote in Congressional Election. Defeated. But Not Discouraged. To the Editor: Now that the campaign is over, I wish to offer my sincere thanks for the support which your paper gave me in the matter of my recent candidacy for Congress from the 21st Congressional District, New York. I am in the expression of my thanks, because never before, to my knowledge, has the colored press rallied more enthusiastically and whole-heartedly to the support of any candidate for public office, and all lines in such a manner as to merit the continued support that I have thus far received. Although I am disappointed in the results of the election, I am not dismayed. I am determined than ever before to see that we bring out the registration to a point where defeat will be impossible. This is not an easy task, but it can be done, and I am confident that in my Congressional District I ran approximately 10,000 votes ahead of the candidate for mayor, and the entire city ticket. Even in the 23rd Assembly District, which is a totally different district, I ran I campaigned in this district against the advice of many persons, who said: "Do not go there, Delany; they will know you are colored." To which I replied, "I want them to know it. I not attempting to sail into Congress under false colors. I have the right to vote in my district, but I will be my aim, if elected, to serve to every voter equal representation. I shall therefore campaign in all districts." The results of my campaign in the 23rd Assembly District seem to indicate that my judgment in this direction was sound. The results of my vote in the cent of the colored vote in my Congressional District, which was that I had expected. Defeat really came as a result of the Democratic landslide, for although a ran an absurdly low turnout, I failed to register its normal Republican vote. I know, however, that there is only one way to be certain of victory. The registration in Harlem must be brought out to a point where de With Larger Support the N.A.A.C.P. Could Go In To the Business of Lobbing with Far Greater To the Editor: Newspapers have recently been full of stories about lobbies and lobbyists at our national capital. It has been revealed that Mr. Shearer, through his efforts, greatly enriched the ship-building interests; that Mr. Grundy has for a quarter century labored to protect corporations of Pennsylvanian land; that Mr. Evanson has practiced as a senator of Senator Bingham, has practically dictated the new tariff rates on commodities manufactured by his employers in the Nutmeg State, while Mr. William Burgess, senting the United States to keep a high tariff has been reported to keep a high tariff on imported chinaware that he has brought upon himself the censure of the Senate. Lobbyists are paid representatives of industries or groups that have legislative points in the interests of their employers. There is nothing sinister about their work unless it is hidden from the public. They are often of a public assistance to the legislators and to public because a private interest frequently becomes a public. Remember, it's the fellow who yells louder that gets the most attention. The coe of a powerful Negro lobby would not succeed if he did less than 5 cents a year from every Negro man, woman and child. It is certain that Negroes who can afford to travel to football "classics," attend fraternal and church conventions and spend $200 or more in a nickel or even a dollar for the defense of their interests. So far this task has been left to the few thousand and Negroes who support the National Association for the Advancement of Women, considering the meagre amount of money contributed, but it has only scratched the surface. Negroes don't need any new organizations; they only need to support them as if they are loath to support anybody except dance hall proprietors, patent medicine vendors, skin whiteners, number banks and the like.

Chicago Leads Again In conducting a campaign designed to open positions for Negroes in neighborhood stores, the city of Chicago has gone far ahead of the rest of the country. The program that is sponsored by the Chicago Whip, a weekly newspaper, and the Chicago branch of the National Urban League, starts off with the declaration that storekeepers must not only give value in goods for money paid to them, but they must take up positions to those who must seek their seek. All storekeepers are being asked to employ colored clerks and drivers, and to give their reasons for refusing if they do not. In conducting a campaign designed to open positions for Negroes in neighborhood stores, the city of Chicago has gone far ahead of the rest of the country. The program that is sponsored by the Chicago White House weekly newspaper, and the Chicago branch of the National Urban League, starts off with the declaration that storekeepers must not only give value in goods for money paid to them, but they must also open up positions to those whose business they seek. All storekeepers are being asked to employ colored clerks and drivers, and to give their reasons for refusal to work. The community is placarded and the newspapers carry the slogan: "Do not spend your money where you can't work." The campaign has uncovered startling facts. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, with over a million Negroes insured, has 16,000 employees in Chicago, none of whom are colored. This company also refuses to lend money to Negroes. The movement has already brought results. Storekeepers are waking up to the necessity of employing Negro clerks in Negro neighborhoods. Over one thousand persons have been put to work and the end is not in sight. The campaign shows what can be done by a concerted drive in which community agencies newspapers work together. Because of it we can look to Chicago for something else beside Congressmen, racketeering and political grafting. The campaign has uncovered startling facts.

Marian Anderson Miss Marian Anderson, a glorious girl with a superb contralto voice, sang in Baltimore recently, and critics busily thumbed the saururines in order to find adjectives enough to describe the concert. They raved over the range, the breath control, the enunciation, the phrasing, the bell-like timbre, and the facility with which she changed from Spanish to French, from Italian to German, and ended in faultless English. Yet all of these things have to do with the mechanics of singing rather than with the spirit of it. Miss Anderson has not yet discovered that a singer may move an audience like an orator.

Taylor Gordon has not had the advantages of Miss Anderson's musical education, but he has discovered some things about the power of music. Listen to what he says in "Born to Be," his newly published autobiography: Miss Marian Anderson, a glorious girl with a superb contralto voice, sang in Baltimore recently, and critics busily thumbed the theauras in order to find adjectives enough to describe the concert. They waved over the range, the breath control, chordation, the phrasing, the bell-like tones, and the facility with which she charged from Spanish to French, from Italian to German, and ended in faultless English.

At the conclusion of her concert here her audience was enthusiastic but cold. Taylor Gordon has not had the advantages of Miss Anderson's musical education, but he has discovered some things about the power of music. Listen to what he says in "Born to Be" his newly published autobiography: "During the last few years I have been around lots of music and I notice that music has a personal touch. I think rejection alone has held my interests more than anything else. The higher I go the more interesting I find it. "Now, take the piano for instance. I have heard it played all my life; the best I have ever known it to do was to make people sing or dance. I didn't know it could be played to make people cry (like a violin) until I heard Alexandrisco play, and saw a man at the Stanley Spiegelberg's Fifth Avenue apartment. All were sober too. "After that I began to watch closer the effect of the spirituals on people. I have grown to really enjoy singing them, even if I do have to concentrate hard on dead people (chiefly'my mother) so I can get their interpretation. The dead people I think of, sang them in true Christian belief. A spiritual makes some people cry, others laugh, and arouses another's passion. So I don't know any other music that can get the same results. . . When I sing to people, ten thousand songs to me." Miss Anderson still regards the spirituals as comic, not sorrow songs, yet Roland Hayes makes his audiences cry by the singing of a simple song like "Water Boy." The case of the great Philadelphia contrata is an answer to the mad assertion that all colored people can sing. We can't, not all of us. Every year schooling can't qualify all the race. Miss Anderson, great vocalist that she is. is not the artist that she is to be. Experience, study, culture, suffering are her teachers now. She must achieve by hard work what Paul Robeson had written to have his first concert, the ability to play upon the emotions of an audience by means of the singing voice.

TATE, The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, November 30, 1929 HUBERT T. DELANY. "The President of the United States is ultimately responsible for every individual on the government pay roll from charwoman to cabinet officer. . . If the President should say that all American citizens, white and black, shall have a square deal in the civil service, it will be so. Otherwise, it will be otherwise." NEGROES EMPLOYED IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE By KELLY MILLER On November the sixteenth, I received a letter o, which the following extract will be fully explanatory. "Sometime ago, I read an article you had written entitled 'Mr. Hoover and the Civil Service.' I clipped this article and forwarded it to President Hoover, accompanied by an experience of my own as an examiner of the practice you condemn." The President Ducks Complaint. This letter with inlucence was forwarded by the President to the Civil Service Commission for consideration and reply. The commissioner's letter is composed of, two parts artistic side-stepping issue, and three parts specious justification of race discrimination in the practical operation of the Civil Servi- The commissioner's letter states that there is no real cause for disquietude on part of members of the colored race in regard to a measure required obtaining government positions, but rather of self-congruatization. A bulletin of the Department of Labor was inclosed, issued September 28, 1928 (note the date), pointing out the number of Negroes employed throughout the country and the salaries which they receive. It is disclosed that 51,825 Negroes were then employed at a combined salary of $32,555,595. Since number has total of 2,654 work hours with total of $12,455,700, to the figures listed cited. This was calculated to show, not only the present generous attitude of the government towards the employment liberalization of the liberality of this tendency. This showing is indeed magnificent, but wholly irrelevant to the grievance of the complainant. The vast bulk of the positions listed in the fair below classified grade and status of the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission, which has no more to do with them than with the appointment of Cabinet officers or foreign diplomatic officers of racial discrimination in the classified service, and is sought to be soothed by recounting the number of Negroes on the pay roll and the salaries they draw. Civil Service Commission The bulletin in questio was undoubtedly issued with political purpose aforethought. Its appearance in the midst of the late presidential campaign is quite persuasive to this view. The campaign document with telling effect. Negro newspapers and spellbounds quoted these figures with great gusto in order to justify the Republican party in the eyes of the Indeed this bulletin runs on all fours with another one which lies before me, issued by Tammany Hall during the recent mayorally contest. It shows the mayor's affection for her black allies. In 1917, under a Republican regime, there were 274 Negroes on the city pay roll, with a salary total of $260,375. But in 1929, after twelve years of Tammany rule, the Negro city employees had swapped the total pay of $265,275. The G.O.P. total pay of the Tammany Tiger each expect the Negro to support its fortunes for the same reason that the ass follows his master's crib. Such concrete arguments are easily understood as the politician, white but the Republican or Democrat. But we do not expect the Civil Service Commission to descend to the lower part of planezian politics. Indeed this commission was established for the very purpose of eliminating politics in the civil service. Oh the Governor William Curtis and Governor Cleveland. Principle One Thing. Practice Another. In dealing more directly with the complaint of racial discrimination, the commissioner's reply is a model of plausibility and specious reasoning. The commissioner is based in principle, but only in practice. All applicants are admitted to the examination; and all papers are rated fairly. I have never disputed or even disputed that No complaint is lodged at this point. But, according to law, three names must be submitted to the appointing officer, who is previously made acquainted with the race and color of the eligibles. Ex-commissioner Negro is thus eliminated every time. The 'all' Service Commission knows this as well as it knows its own existence it would not stigmatize itself by attempting to deny it. Why attempt to assuage injustice by being Several years ago, I suggested to the commission the substitution of the finger print method of the conceded necessity, establishing the need for the applicant for appointment. The objection was then alleged that such substitution would require a staff of experts and in the end this would not prevent the discrimination complained of, since the appointing officer may not be a staff of experts, the applicant prior to appointment, and thus learn of his racial identity. There seems to be no way to prevent the color of the applicant from figuring in the consideration place of the selection of his assistants in the hands of the head of the several government departments. To meet this constitutional requirement, the Civil Service Commission must certify more than one name, else there would be left no margin of choice. Remedy with the President. The President of the United States is ultimately responsible for every individual on the government pay roll from charwoman to cabinet officer. The Civil Service Commission can always pass laws without the consent of the law by hiding behind the shadow of its letter. The Civil Service Commissioners are coheres of the President and sensitive to his sentiment. If the President should say that all American citizens, white and black, should deal in the civil service, it will be so. Otherwise, it will be otherwise. Chips from the Quarry The Proofreader Talks. Our style sheet says: "Capitalize all proper nouns." This will cover — or ought to cover — all grammatical capitalization. (Other capitalization will be dealt with later.) But — what is a proper noun? But — what is actually the definitions given in the grammars, while usually correct, are generally incompletely or faultfully stated, and are seldom efficiently analyzed or exemplified to set the pupils' feet firmly in the right. The definition given by Maxwell in his advanced grammar is one of the best. He says: "A proper noun is a name that belongs only to some particular person, place or thing." Maxwell's grammars were compiled in the early nineteen after he had been for years superintendent of the public schools of New York City. His experience as a teacher should have shown him the stumbling blocks and pitfalls in the use of pupils — and in many cases he saw and tried to remove them— but no. the one of the stumbling blocks is the word "only", which should be omitted entirely: another is "a", (before "name") which should be "a", and the word "belongs to" would be changed to "is given to" (or "has been given to", and "some" changed to "Thus modified the definition would read: "A proper noun is the name that is (or has been) given to a particular person," etc. The important words are "given to." In short, difference between the name of the animal "dog," and the name of the boy "John." :: that the designation "dog" is common to the language, while John's mother is rodmother, if she is John's mother have names like "James" or any name she pleased. offer them to *tao*. To go a step further: It is not due to a requirement of our language but to the exercise of a prerogative of some person or body—presumably the Board of Education — that our high school is named "Dumao." So far, so good. Now, the question is yet to be answered whether and why the words "hien school" meaning "Dunbar" or the name and hence whether or not these words in this case — should be capitalized. F. H. M. M. Why Bring that Up? Mary had a little cramp; Mary isn't in her toe; But if you ask me where it was. I'll answer. "I don't know." Why Discriminate?

But the papers didn't notice that man in Malibu before they were sent menipaly clothes. Don't be Rash. Yes, you may prance, and you may dance, 'Til people think you've "got um".

Once, in India's holy city of Benares, I was passing through the bazaars and paused to examine a fruit display. The Hindu owner was pankyest I still touch his wares, and upon them "unclean" for his strict co-religionists. The man was kindly in the way; he warded off possible defilement from a Christian, yet the shock was none the less. I was surrounded by religions who regard the touch, or even the shadow, of a white man as pollution. Nor was my complacency improved by the evidence: that a sacred cow had uzzled amour among the cow. The cow was regarded as "holy"; a Christian was looked upon as "unclean."

Baltimore women, expressing themselfs in last week's AFRO- AMERICAN, are sharply divided on long and short skirts. But what is interesting is the question, WHAT will they wear about OUT TY? An even better would be to believe what they gray about it, the follow the style and wear what the fashion dictates—the "fashion" generally being keen business men who degree changes that will ne- w be buying their new material every so many weeks. The fact is, what the feminine mind generally calls independence fades into thin air when there man, fades into thin air when there man, sheet comes out. It matters whether the style was made up to suit a thin figure, and she is fat; it matters not whether the low dress misses occasion for plump surfaces, and she is low where she should be plump; it doesn't matter whether she likes dresses or shoes. WORN IF IT IS THE FASHION A society matron may dominate the guest list and she may be a roaring lioness of independence when comes a precedent of adventure the be a timid lamb when the Paris dances whine their fashion decree. "They are wearing," is the whole ten commandments to the field for artistry and independent thinking it would provide for the feminine sex if they could use some of them for fetility and intuition and planning what would look best in THEMSELVES and not what other people will have on. If We Believed in Baltimore. Three times during the last ten days this writer has seen a good civic or business suggestion go on the rocks because someone was present to trot out the same old statement. "You can't do that in Boston." That is all right for Washington, but Baltimore people have not worked up to this yet, as an ex-communist heard so much that they have come to believe it. There seems to be shivering fear passing down our spine in the moment the progressive suggestion is made to come rate ourselves as mossbacks, absolutely incapable of being progressive colored in other country. Yet the more you learn of the Monumental City the more you feel that it has as substantial a ground base as the face of the earth. When living costs are considered, wages here will compare with most cities, and the average possible saving margin is as favorable as any other Were some catastrophe to strike this world and completely cut off of our earning power. Baltimoreians must be as long as those of most cities. For the things they like, Baltimoreans can produce more money than they would be regarded as more progressive; and her churches, perhaps on the whole the best group in the country, testify why. Is it then, when some new and progressive idea is expressed, we get the creeps? Why is it that Baltimoreans will learn when we talk about new venues, although we can go the limit on old-time things? Some day soon young Baltimoreans will tear into this bugaboo and show the people here that Baltimore can do anything and of all of them. This person will say to his city what he says to his girl friend: "I could climb the highest mountain. I could cross the ocean wide. If you believe in me." Georges Clemenceau a Soul in Revenge. France's "Tiger," the most potent man in the World War and the international events since the Armistice, Georges Clemenceau, the Clemenceau was born a humanitarian, reared as a radical socialist—developing into an agnostic because the Catholic church in France, he believed, had the power to alienate all of the mobilizers which enslaved the working man—he was made by Bismarck into an international apostle of revenge. Young men stunned the elements of France, who might well analyze the factors in the life of this grand old man of France who, perhaps more than any other one man, influenced the course of the World War, and for that matter the international war. But his death To get the real key to this grand old man of France, how ever, it will be necessary, his bacillus mark tried to crush the soul of that country, but which, in fact, only steered them, leaving in every Frenchman the heart of hatred that he tortured to torture into humanitarian impulses of the young radical, and made him the indomitable aphile of international peace, you believe in his socialism, his fight against monarchies, against religion and against world peace, you will have to agree that he was the most powerful men of his time and all times. What will interest you most, perhaps, is the reaction of his compatriots to his life. The once arresteed for what we call a national hero; yet he died a national hero; he helped to drive the Catholic church and religion out of temporal power in France, yet a priest and a missionary to administer spiritual consolation in manly with a bitter vengeance, but his hatred was no doubt be a factor in bringing France and her ancient enemy together in national ties. The thing, perhaps most to remembered in his life, a life of constant tiger-like struggle, is that a human being can be in and fight for anything, fight or wrong, so conscientiously that his opponents will admire him. Another thing to remember is that fighting for what you see is rightfully yours is the only way to reach the heights in the estimation of friend or foe.

BURROUGHS (The Associated Negro Press) Negroes who run for public office should take the time to find out what the Negro in the street is thinking, because, after all, in mass movements, the man in the street is the determining factor. Aspirants to public office had better get the low-down on him or they will never get elected. Here it is. The Negro in the street wants to be noticed, spoken to, bowed at, and mixed with long before you get ready to run for office. He wants you to be natural and to som at home with him and his bad English and bad smells, be they ever so offensive. He doesn't want you to be so busy looking UP that you can't look AT. If you don't know him before you get ready to run, he is not going to run with you. That settles that. He is mighty particular about whom he runs with—in his own race. See? Delany Running Up in Black Harlem, Delany is running for Congress. He didn't make it in the first race, but he is still running. The man in the street and the woman who doesn't live in "Strivers' Row" say that they did not vote for Delany because he runs with the high-lights, high-brows, and high-hatters and paid no attention to them until he got ready to run for Congress, and— "I can't a-goin' to vote for him because he will use us to get down to Washington, and he won't know us the next minute after he gets there. Now he won't get my vote to high-mat." No, indeed, no Negro in these "New Nited States" is going to treat them that way and get elected to do anything but stay at home. The Common People Now listen, you Negroes in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, and elsewhere, who are going to run for public office, the race needs you in Congress, in state legislatures, city councils, etc., etc., as badly as you want the honor, and you can get in if you take a common interest in the common people before you get the public office fever. Work You. You don't have to be common. In fact, they don't want you to be, but they want you to be natural and unselfishly interested in and vitally connected with the things that make for their common welfare. want you to yourself up to a degree interest in the race when you want something and cool off the next day after you get it. Go to them when they need something. Go to Church Negro candidates take my advice. Go to Negro churches—go to all kinds of churches—from Little Davidts to Rock Daniels. Go to them to worship—if you can. Join the Regalia Brigade, patronize Negro business, even if you don't like plg feet; join a chorh, go to the high-brows and be a full-fledged member of their "Do Nothing Mutual Admiration Club." but reside among the ordinary Negroes even if you have to tear down two or three houses in Cabbage Row, as William H. C. Brown did in Washington, and build you something that looks like a lily in a pond of lagoon, but, after all, something that Negroes in and look up to if you don't dizy and forget to look at them after you get in. "High Lights" Furthermore, don't pick all "high lights" for company. Cultivate a little taste and appreciation for the artistic and mix your shades—females included. There are some who are just as we educated, just as we and just as high up as "high lights." Negroes are funny, and if you want what they have you will have to take a little of them, too. You will like it after you get used to it. You will come from not in ideas and living—but in svm-pathetic understanding and helpful service—lifting as you climb. Mixing A person who is not big enough to mix is not big enough for public office. Those who are ashamed to mix with the common people, in order to aid them in their daily welfare—because they have so recently come up from among them—are TOO WEAK FOR PUBLIC OFFICI. AT LINCOLN "U" MATHEMATICS LECTURE Under the auspices of the department of mathematics of the university, Dr. George H. H.

Dr. Young came here on a large visit to minister the essential needs of people here. In his Thanksgiving day sermon on "Benefits Forgist," President W. H.

Well, I will see how it comes from here there in "everywhere holds up." Chi Delta Mus. When the Chi Delta Mu's emerged from beneath their downy covers on Thanksgiving morning, they'll try to review the hopeings of the eve before, at which time they had started the ball roaring. They'd be demonstrating the eagerness to "take" demonstration of their eagerness to take the city by storm and find foot space for all at Pytheian hall. But they won't be for the only ones who will stretch lazily, and through none-too-suppressed yawns and yearning glances. "Oh, 'n' another forty whisky! Wotta niel! Wotta night!"

The momentous question seems to be: "WoI I wear?" Spify Costumes.

"Only two hundred and fifty dollars, and an im-ported model." Skirts Sweep Floor. Hoh, heb, heb. A weak little laugh, and a sidelong glance at my "body-guard," was my punctuation to her remarks. There was another, a yellow satin with extremely high waist, being modeled. The attendant called the designer's name. But, she saw! that floor duster it swooped to the ground back and front was enough for "yours truly!" After leaving the salons, we stilled into the Dress Shops (wotta difference! in everything but the length).

The struck upon the consciousness of music-loving Chicagoans as no other woman singer has been able to do so so large an impact, when she was able to turn them into such a trenzy of joy, as followed the vocal offerings of Miss Anderson.

R The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, November 30, 1929 N. Y. THEATRE GROUP REHEARSES 3 PLAYS Writers and Artists, Volunteer Services B5 BASIL WINTERS NEW YORK—The Negro Experimental Theatre group, organized here last January by Miss Dorothy Peterson, local school teacher, now has three plays in rehearsal, with plans to present them soon. Following the organization last winter it was decided that not only plays dealing with the Negro should be done, but any plays suited to the group should be staged. Among the plays considered for production were: "Tens of the Arabs" by Dunsany, "Salome," by Crammer-Byrg, "White Dresses," by Paul Green, "The Prodigial Son," by Harry Kemp, "The Travelers," by Booth Tarketing and several others. The group agreed that some play should be chosen, and put into rehearsal right away, but not of production in the near future. In June Georgia Johnson's one-act play "Plumes," with Priscilla Boone, Leontina Wright and James Egert Allen was presented by the group. The play was directed by Derek Anderson. The stage set, a very realistic feature was done by Robert Dorsay. The summer found Dorothy Peterson studying the art of directing at the Milton Anderson School. Harold Jackman, France getting his start in the theatre, was the Regina Andrews looking for more plays. Many outstanding writers and artists have volunteered their services notably among these are Aaron Douglas, Eda Boutonne, Jessie Pauset Brenda Moryck, Walter White. Plans have been made to have Broadway directors, actors and actresses come before the members and address them. Chinese Like Ethel Waters's Music Best "Charleston" Replaces Usual Native Dances WASHINGTON, D.C. — (CNS.)—Spreading to the East, the modern jazz has struck China. The Chinese now dance the Charleston, and are evincing no little interest in the old-fashioned "buck" dance which is being replaced by the Bill Robinson dance. The growing popularity of Western dance steps among the Chinese has brought an ever-increasing demand for such dance records, the consular offices at Nanking, Tientsin and Canton report. Demands come steadily to the American phonograph manufacturers for greater shipment of uniformes, uniformes and assignments of the latest jazz records. While all kinds of jazz music are popular among these artists, they seem to prefer blues. Ehlat Wielers is mentioned as ranking among their favorites. Duke Ellington's records are among the recent ones which have been exported to China. JOSIAH DIGGS, Owner WALTER CARR, Manager BY LEVI H. JOLLEY The secret ambition of every youth is to leave his native home, go to a big city, become famous and then return to the small town to be hailed by his friends as the one who put the city on the map. He is at least attained to the heights where he can return home famous if not be hailed as the man who made the city popular. This young man is none other than the diminutive "fashion plate" known as Joe Small, director of the famous Pickers Orchestra of New York After Three Years Joe, as he is known to dance half-petrons in Baltimore, left these parts three years ago with an outfit that was considered mediocre. Joe was considered a short stay gave the orchestra a chance to grasp some of the popular presentations of the big metropolis. Then the orchestra went to New York where, after a few weeks stay, they met with the musicians and music combinations in that section. Playing to the most select and elite audiences of the big city, Small soon was soon hailed as a genius. Three years in the City of Skyscrapers put Joe in the spotlight. Pess Williams. But the point is that Joe Small and his orchestra appeared in Baltimore and was acclaimed to be "just too bad" by those who crowded the New Albert Auditorium to hear his presentations, last Thursday. New Dances Several letters describing dances have been received by this writer from various dance hall patrons. These dances seemingly were originated by two young men, the Leo of 423 E. Twenty-third street, presents a fast fox trot executed with the steps of the Argentine. The Argentine step is executed on turns and after twelve fox trots. Miss Lillian Wilson, 1403 Myrtle avenue, offers the following as a dance: three short steps, two slides and then the execution trot steps be followed by more glides. These steps should be executed in succession to the end of the dance. "Brownskin Models" Make Hit at Royal George Blas and Chinese Septet Feature in Big Musical Revue. Charm novelty, humor, and hardship make the 1930 edition of Irvin Miller's "Brown Skin Models," one of the best bits of entertainment that has graced the Royal Theatre stage this season. Headed by their premiere model Blanche Thompson and his predecessor, musical revue which struck the spot with the local patrons.

"The Holy City" Well Received. By W. LLEWELLYN WILSON The intense interest in music being manifested in the now popular music scene in Baltimore here in Baltimore just another method of expressing the innate love many of the citizens have for things artistic. For many years, various groups of singers have essayed to study and to produce choral work with various men and women, more or less gifted and trained for such work. Of course, oftentimes, the results produced through the efforts of the early choristers left much to be desired. On the other hand, however much achievement was attained, the churches and fraternal organizations then, as in many cases they do now, sponsored such worthy enterprises. Long periods of careful study, drill, and general preparation always preceded an advertised per- Sacred cantatas, based on well known Biblical stories, were the usual vehicles for such presentations. "David the Shepherd Boy," Ethelthea the Beautiful Girl, "Jehpthath" were among the most popular works of a period just ending. Whenever a given organization would attempt to produce a choral work, the city singers would unite to make it happen, where the work was produced or by whom the cantata was directed, one would find among the list of solists the names of such sterling singer, as the famous "Teenny" Aelonis, Edyth Smith Gibson, Queen Holmes, Lizzard Wizard, Avery Fleetwood, Laws Lawson, Frank Young, Edward Stewart, George Davis, Frank Chase, Charles Moseley, Dcbson Stewart, Clarence Lawson, Avery Fleetwood, Laws Lawson, all of whom have passed, I believe, to a fairer clime where choirs are superal. Many of the musical enthusiasts, who are the creators of music of yesterday, are still actively engaged in the worthy cause of developing musical appreciation here in Baltimore today. Most of them are kept up with the musical progression. Among those who have labored long and ardently to encourage and to develop talented young folk as they within a group, without thought of selfish reward or personal self-grandizement, are: Herbert Y. Johns'. Theresa Briscoe Stewart, Maud Gross, William Hankins, William Husketh, William Hale, Howard E. Young, Rev. Daniel G. Hill, Ida Costen, Joseph Costen, Annie Nichols, John Hawkins, Samuel J. Palmer, John Hankins, Samuel J. Palmer, Kate Miller, Marlene Howard, Brent Phece, Bea Smith, Edward Barnett, Phcee be Young Could Porter, Annie Hazelton Lee, George Blake, William Stewart, Theophrase Johnson, Sophie Alexander, Lloyd Gibbs, and many others whose deeds, for the cause of music in Baltimore live in the memories of grateful beneficiaries, although in some instances their names are not Supporting the choral presentations of a former period, as orchestral players, would be found such instrumentalists—man of them, "other side of them," Joseph Ockey, the uncle of Joshua Duvalh, the present organist at the Augustus Hall Street Baptist Church; Augustus Johnson, "Abe" Brooks, an excellent cornetist; is now a youthful musician of considerable attainment; Ambre Briscoe, an excellent violinist, and Andrew Thompson, one of our early violists, both well equipped and make very effective orchestrations. Also Harry Williams, Charles Brooks, Edward Peck, who now is and has been for many years the organist at the Sharp Park Music Center, St. Louis. Thomas Mitchell, organist at Ebenzer A.M.E. Church and the accompanist for the Peeless Glee Club, the whole Stanley family, a relative, who is one of the presidents one of the city's best equipped concert organists and a local public school teacher; Alfred Caulk, a double bass player still performing in the community, and many other students at present I cannot recall. These are they to whom the younger generation of musicians in Baltimore owes a perpetual debt of gratitude for the rich music that they have nurtured, developed, and handed down, through great personal sacrifice to the Negro musical colony now actively engaged in the improvement of music work in Baltimore. Without any connection boasting of artistic talents, without any far flung musical reputations, without ranting about any musical achievements, academic or as executives in any given musical field, without any temperamental suburbs infused with the spirit of sulking and refusal to serve, according to their lights, the community in which they lived, the men and women gave the best that was within them—their time, their money, their talents, and in addition the helpful and healthful development of good music. Many of the latter day musicians within our group, now striving for places in the sun, would do well to emulate the examples set long ago by the generation of a generation, just ending. The purpose of this article is not to suggest that we return to "the good old days" of the church, but was the embodiment of perfection; the aim is an attempt to pay a well deserved tribute to an excellent group of musicians who stood for musical development. Versatile Mr. Taylor Leroy Taylor, teacher of art in Douglass High School, who in addition to being one of the best of our younger artists, is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Art and has made several important contributions to our local Art Exhibits, and is a basketball player par excellence, in fact, an all-round athlete. He is indeed quite talented. Mr. Taylor, in addition to his gifts with brush and pen, and his skill in the realm of athletics, is quite talented as a musician. He plays the piano very acceptably and is accomplished as a tenor-banjoist. Mr. Taylor studied the banjo while a student at college, and for a number of seasons was solist with "Syd' Stratton's Serenders, of Philadelphia," high school, and a collegue. He appeared in Baltimore he appears with "Bob" Young's exclusive dantant orchestral ensembles. "The Holy City." Mrs. Annie Nichols, organist and choir director at St. John's A.M.E.

Has Changed The Style for Hair 1. doesn't take long for a new idea to take hold when it makes us most attractive and is easier to use. Not long ago "Connie's Hot Chocolates," the new musical hit concerted by Leonard Harper, opened in New York and when folks saw pretty Marten Egbert and found out how she smoothed her hair so smoothly brushed they followed her style. "I started dressing my hair with La-Em-Strat when I first heard about it," says Miss Egbert, "and my hair has been so smooth, and glossy ever since, that I wouldn't need it without working in the La-Em-Strat into my hair before I brush it." La-Em-Strat hair dresses make hair smooth and bright in 30 seconds, and it isn't greasy. That's the reason it is even more popular with the million folks prefer it to any other hair dressing.

Born in the slums of St. Louis, Josephine Baker, now famous film and vaudeville star, was taken at the age of 10 to Philadelphia by her grandmother. How infinitely long were the nights in the little Philadelphia home to Josephine Baker! She wanted she craved . . . with her heart soul to somehow go on the stage, but there were two great barriers. The first was an objection of her grandmother . . . and the second, an opportunity to begin such a career. Of the two, the objection of her grandmother was the greater. Josephine now in her early teens, was no longer a child. She had grown from the little awkward, gangling girl into the maturity of young womanhood. Her sense of fairness and justice . . . her power to know and discern right from wrong . . . told her that it would be an unforgivable sin to bring sorrow and woe to her grandmother . . . the one who had sacrificed much for Jo ever since she baby. Couldn't Run Away It could kill her grandmother to have the little girl run away and go on the stage. It was only natural that Josephine wept silently on her pillow during the long hours before dawn streaked the eastern sky. As if by magic, opportunity knocked at her doo when she received an offer to join a "taf" show at Gibson's Standard Theatre. More magical than the opportunity itself was the miraculous attitude Jo's grandmother took. The elderly lady gave her consent for Jo to join the show! It was a momentous decision. It started a bright star on a climb through the heart of fame and fortune! Josephine Baker wept . . . but her tears were tears of joy! The Standard Theatre was filled with people at the opening performance. As Josephine Baker peeled out on the wings she saw a sea of faces in her hand of Pear moved across her body. Here she was . . . on the threshold of her dreams come true . . . the fulfillment of her passionate bonings! Excellent shook her body and her mind seemed dull. She was so anxious to give a creditable performance on her shoulders that she could press her covering of her muscles. If only her heart would not beat so swiftly "You can't fail now!" she said to herself with convincing determination. Little did the audience think that the little, slim girl who electrified everyone with her peacecoe strut that afternoon was the same mortal to them whole nations would one day her homage as a great artist! Gibson Compliment After the performance was over Mr Gibson rushed backstage to compliment the novice who had been green a lusty and sustained ovation as she took her bow at the finish of her dance! In her excited state J Baker could still hear applause ringing in her ears. Now she was strangely calm. She had gained a foothold on the ladder which was to lead her to staircase. The Saturday following her debut, Josephine stood in line to receive her reward, the week she had been very irregularly. She and her grandmother had such few funds. her he was ever so happy. Now she could be the support of the one who had more than shared everything with her! Nothing was too good for her grandmother from now on But A JOSEPHINE BAKER her optimism, as she stood in line, was not so great but that she felt how physically weak she was from lack of food. What a god-send was that $10 Mr. Gibson gave her for her seven days work on the stage! It looked like all the money in the world to Josephine Baker! . . soon she would go to New York. . . Josephine Baker come to New York with nothing but her grandmother, her railroad ticket and an unquenchable ambition. Like Joan of Arc. Jo Baker believed implicitly in her des- Come Back Next Week From the Pennsylvania Station, the pretty brown skin girl went directly to Daly's 63rd Street Theatre where she asked for the director of a show that was playing there. The show was the memorable "Shuffle Along"... acclaimed by everyone as the outstanding musical comedy... produced by colored artists. The director gave her no definite encouragement and told her to come to the day. She did but, then she was informed to come to-morrow... to-morrow it was always to-morrow... and this kept up for a week! Days Without Food Jo could not stand the delay. Not only was she terribly anxious to get work for the sake of her career, but she was even more anxious to get work so that she could live. She was more than destitute. For days this girl tasted the biter gall of destitution. It is almost unbelieveable, but she herself is the authority for the statement that she went for days without as much as a bite to eat, and more pitiful it. she was actually needy to sleep at work. New York was a city with a heart. Her racking experiences during these days which seemed interminably long to her had their effect on her physically, but at no time did she let her nerve give way. She gritted her teeth. She exhibited only that stoicism which women are capable of showing, men at best are brave . . . but women are stoics.

Harlem and Greenwich Vill lage Owners Wax Fat. By FRANK BYRD When the New York Daily News sent Frank Dolan to make a survey of Harlem night clubs, it must have forgotten that "it pays to advertise", because all the free publicity given the upstown speakeasy gentlemen has blessed them with a greater than average percentage of exclusive white trade, which is literally killing the expensive and high-toned Broadway clubs. Added to this, the recent decline of the stock market has contributed greatly to the financial woes of not only the night club owners, but the general downtown society and spending public. Going Uptown Financially unstable, and not yet acclimated to entirely dispensing with the much discussed night life of New York, which has become second nature to them, the wealthy patrons of Broadway haunts are spending their play hours in upper Seventh Avenue speakeasies with coffee pots and hot dog stands thrown in as added centers of attraction. Besides, there is a general demand for places where colored and white people meet on a socially equal basis, and since Harlem and Greenwich Village are the only two spots in Manhattan where this atmospheric atmosphere is encouraged, the Nordics are storming both quarters with a vigor and persistence that is amazing. Another attraction in Harlem is the policy of many night club owners allowing patrons to import their own "stuff." This is a bait, incidentally, that draws many "suckers" who have to make up for this deficit by paying aeroplane prices for ginger ale and other items that would ordinarily cost from 10 cents to 25 cents. This writer knows of at least three downtown clubs that have been forced out of business, the most popular of these being the fifty thousand Chatteau Madrid located in West 84th Strt, but which is to be opened again this week according to newspaper reports. Of course, there is a possibility of financial stabilization for some of the bigger places if their owners are able to net enough from holiday business by severely overcharging them many out-of-town customers (they always look and act the part) that make their initial appearances on Broadway for the Christmas and New Year Celebrations. "Passing a Cine" in New York To those who were primarily concerned with hurting the line line, it should be delightfully encouraging to know that the majority white managers catering exclusively to the Nordic elite are, by far the most gullible and easily deceived persons in town. Everyone who has even seen this reporter knows that he could never be mistaken for an Anglo-Saxon brother. Despite this fact, only one manager questioned our right to move among what has often been referred to as the "chosen." This particular boss or the "chosen" sons of the South who has "made" the Gay White Way, being himself easily bamboozed by the ridiculously funny attempt at broken English, offered by this correspondent. While the Club Richmond, the Tro The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, November 30, 1929 From the Front Row BY LULA JONES GARRETT nightly riled up over the façade for the publicity that stunned this white picture featuring a cow in the story which is being of charming piece of fiction, and not have it crammed in but the truth. "The Siren," so did I. Use, doesn't amount to so much picture (mind me, not that of the same opinion). Argument on the subject out of chomching. Even the review particular production. To annoy Mr. Gibson in longing, Mr. Gibson because it is especially credit must go to whom could not. In our opinion it is certainly one peach picture that was worth seated to Bill was that probable. And then too, when the audience's won't be exposed to fours and fours. And theatricals along this line. Then if you know what I mean, didn't change my views of who does not especially in away-I may not be able to buy my and mine's tickets set your boots that you are.oor public a break once when they push their quirk? Gosh, they're due some not calling a spade a spade. Our Bill Gibson is mightily riled up over the fact that some of our newspapers are falling for the publicity that stunt press agents are pulling for a recently released white picture featuring a colored star. Bill says that while the story which is being carried by these fellow craftsmen is a perfectly charming piece of fiction, the public should be informed that it is frequently not have it crammed down their throats as the newspaper nothing but the truth. Now, Bill and I saw this picture, "The Siren of the Tropics." He thought it was rotten. So did I. My opinion, of course, doesn't amount to so much, but all the folks in the know, who saw this picture (mind me, not those who just read the advance press notices) were of the same opinion. We hunted high and led to get a good healthy argument on the subject out of someone. just anybody but there was none for this particular production. But the reviewers couldn't work up much steam over this particular production. Other than that seems to annoy Mr. Gibson is, who benefits from this story? Other than being just a space-filler, the paper doesn't, he says. The theatrical editor doesn't, because it is especially stipulated (we got 'em, too, so we know) that credit must go to whom credit is due—the white writer. Miss Baker did not. In our opinion it was just the other way around. Josephine Baker is certainly one peach of a dancer. Why, the only thing in the whole picture that was worth seeing was the flash in which Miss Baker danced. That letter to Paul to Bill was that probably the poor theatre managers needed break. And then, too, when the madman and kids all had the moviefits, a pass or two wasn't to be sneezed at by front rowers whose families run to the threees and fours. And theatre managers are, for the most part, considerate fellows along this line. They are usually willing to give a break for a break, if you know what I mean. Personally, that wouldn't change my views of a picture, but being of the escorted sex, and one who does not especially insist on ladies being first—at ticket windows, anyway—I may not be able to get just the proper slant on this matter. See Bill. "I'll buy my and mine's tickets and when you Hear Me Talkin' to Y' you can bet your boots that you are getting the low down on what's what." "Why not give the poor public a break once for a change and let them know what they're buying when they push their quarters through the hole in the little glass cubby? Gosh, they're due something besides a card-board receipt." Gee! this thing of not calling a spade a spade is sure a fly in Bill's ointment. "BLACK CARL" PASSES.

NEW YORK.-Ralph Banks, baritone, a protege of the Titto Ruffo of the Metropolitan Opera, gave a successful recital at Steinway Hall last week. Mr. Banks has been studying for several years in Rome and Paris and this is his second appearance. His repertoire was very difficult, but it was rendered with great credit. He gave six encores in all, and was called back three or four times after each group of songs. A significant feature of his program was the absence of spirituals. Mr. Banks has decided to exclude them from his programs. When asked about the absence of spirituals, the singer said: "I do not sing them; first, because I have not learned them; second. there is a tendency on the part of white audiences to wish nothing else from colored singers and I firmly object to segregation in art or anywhere else. Hence, much as I admire the beauty of the spirituals, I have decided to forego them." TEL.

WHITE RACE NOT WANTED IN SO. AFRICAN LANDS West Indians, U. S. Negroes or Chinese Preferred. OXFORD, England. — In his series of Rhodes Memorial lectures delivered at Oxford University, on "Native Policy in Africa," General Jan Christian Smuts, white, former premier of South Africa, said that Negro culture was an adjunct of world civilization. He told his audience that the world would be poorer without Negro culture. After surveying the Negro as a distinct racial type, Mr. Smuts said that a change of administrative policy was essential in Africa. In his opinion, he admitted, "a race so unique, so different in its mentality and culture from those of Europe, requires a policy very unlike that which would suit Europeans." "If Africa is to be redeemed" he said, "we shall have to proceed on different lines and evolve a policy which will not force her institutions into an alien European mold, but preserve the unity of its parts." Favors Imperialism Concerning the encroachment on native land for purposes of exploitation and settlement, Mr. Smuts said that it was not fair to leave the African to the missionary alone. He demonstrated that there was ample territory for both white and black, in the highlands of Kenya, Tanganyika, Nyasaland, northern Rhodesia, and that there are thousands of square miles especially adapted for white population and approved. Approves of Bi-Racialism With reference to the importation of white settlers, he remarked: o hence gestures the emblems. "The civilization of Africa therefore calls for a definite policy of European settlements, of a white community inside of Africa which will form a steel framework of the ancient architecture of African civilization." Continuing, he said, "Apart from the aburs and avoidable exchrescences such as the inheritance of inviable cla between the interests of the blacks and whites more than the blacks and whites the native." Suggests Solution In conclusion, Mr. Smuts suggested that missionaries and the government officials should have at least a subject as anthropology, ethnology, psychology and sociology, so as to better appreciate the native African. These he contended, would serve to clarify the present muddle in South African politics. African Students Comment When approached by the AFRO for their views on General Smuts' lecture at Oxford, Cambridge, London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Glassgow universities held that Smuts, Joe Boer, was a political opportunist, while Smuts, the British citizen, was a statesman. They remarked that General Smuts of nothing but his prime minister frustrate him in the political policy of his government toward Negroes in South Africa. His admission now of error in colonial administration was regarded by the students as diplomatic and hypocritical. Oppose Bi-Racial Policy That bi-racialism would be a replica of the social lills which the dark man suffers in Australia and New Zealand, the view of the students. They, however, would prefer American and West Indian Negroes or even Indians and Chinese, rather than give their stamp of approval to the importation of Nordies into Africa with their self-centered philosophy of superiority and economic imperialism The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, November 30, 1929 Pluko WHITE Improved HAIR DRESSING Price 50¢ PREPARED ONLY BY THE FIVE MINUTE WAY TO HAIR BEAUTY the roots, soften and straighten each strand and promote the growth of shining, luxuriant hair.

COLONY EXCLUSIVE SAMANA, Dominican Republic—A little colony of 2,000 descendants of American Negroes here, have drawn the ire of natives by their stubborn clinging to the customs of their ancestors. The latest flare-up is over the subject of Sunday cock-fighting. The colonists in protest against the harshity of morals in the natives wish to prevent the exaction of a cockpit in the city limits. As cock-fighting is the national sport and the natives are inclined to be jealous of the "American" Negroes, it appears that nothing will come of the matter. These colonists are the descendants of persons who were transported a century ago from Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey under an agreement between an American abolition society and the then emperor of the island. Starting with only five acres of land each, they have by hard work won much of the business and agricultural control of San Juan Valley, the most fruitful of the rich lands They like to refer to their "American obstruction" and refuse to intermarry with their neighbors. The colonists have built comfortable houses for themselves, which contrast singularly with the native huts. Schools have been erected at their own expense. In these schools there is a complete separation of the sexes, even to the teachers. The colonists are the island's best agriculturists, and have recently be- Plu WHITE Improve HAIR DRESS Price 5 PREPARED ON THE P HA hair.

INSTALLMENT IX During the ensuing week the new power was an industrial parochial water. There was something definite wrong, some maladaptation between himself and his flock, that pointed toward disaster if it were not quickly located and rectified. He reasoned that by admit questioning he could draw his parishioners out and ascertain the trouble. But when he found the Negroes at home he had encountered an attitude with which he was imagined to be hostile, but then he gunned him with a sort of negative certainty. They would smile and ask him to sit, then disappear within themselves, speak their mind, and noncommunicate. When he had touched on the subject of church or religion, they had agained, and it is seemed the part of politeness that he had, and still smiling, retained that times were certainly for a country "nigger," that last utter was unusually cold, or that no food served so well to sweep it off as hominy and a fat pot. There was nothing to lay hold upon he began to experience a sense of futility. And his money was still consumed. He had no idea, and he had had a depend upon what he could race from private sources. He had hoped to make an instantaneous success from the board, but now indeed he was staring tim in the face. Gracson was particularly puzzled by the behavior of Coral, whom he as housekeeper. She had been a regular attendant at church, and when he had tainted with her in her small, immature kept kitchen, she faced with a candid and trustful gaze that seemed unimagable of concealment or decoration. But now, as the monsoon week advanced, she kept obscured absences, and that the dishes often stood unwashed after a meal. Finally upon entering the kitchen silently, he found with her body buried in her arms while her body shook with deep, An overbringing wave of pity renamed him suddenly speechless. He had tried so hard and so unsuccessfully to toe off under that understanding that his confidence was shaken. This was the first time he had been hoping, when he might enter into the sorrows of his people and let his heart speak in actions as words. But so much was perceived to be impotence. It came to him that the words that he could speak would be more empty symbols uttered in a foreign tongue. A troubled person was tenderly held on the hearing shoulder. The startled woman looked up into his face with an expression that changed from erie to sudden fright. "Tell me what he urged, what he ford for you." "Lenne me home," she sobbed. "Ahats to so now." "Gratly," he assured her, "go and I will go home with you. I am in trouble I want to share "No, no," she cried in panic. "You may here. Ah! come back. Ain't nutty? can do." Then she was gone in a heavy humbering run down the road in the direction of her cabin. Two days passed and Cora failed to reappear. Now Gravson's visits seemed even more fruitless than early in the week for the village was deserted for the most part he found only children at the cabins, children and the ubiquitous yellow curs. The pickaninies eaped at him when he questioned, but the curs with their singular instinct for sensing the moods of their owners followed him to the gates, hanging just out of reach, with their small sharp teeth bared. Finally, on Friday morning he met Wentworth who was swine-ing alone the sandy road with a package under his arm. "I suppose you're on you way to Cora's," hazarded the white man. "It's too bad about her trouble, and Davy's bad! knocked out by it, too. He was devoted to the little fellow, used to bring him to the store pretty much every afternoon." "Can't trouble?" inquired Grayson, who was amused by the agitation released by her mother. "What yes. She lost her cousin she had night. It has been in despair since she was in a village has been sitting around out there with her. I thought you might noticed I am taking her alone some time and I thought a little money for the legal appeal. While the two had been talking they had proceeded in the direction of the orbin, which lay well behind and now through the clear, resonant ear, they caught the distant strains of the spiritual. Verv distinctly the sound of the orb, and not the robust shouting like that of a Sunday morning service but the shrill, aaconiized voices of many women, each of whom had personalised the song, and made it her own, and, cramping alone an octave below them, the melodic flexible beauty of a single tremendous. Saint cast a sidelong glance at his companion and saw the bread, beaten face as sohen, the eyes light impelively. The nailed pain. He spoke impelively. The thought so much and a "The girl's voice was begin ning to attract attention." * though you would have known he hadn't left, and he hasn't left the house since. He is going to hold the funerals and he won't change quickly back here, you don't change quickly back here, you THE PIANO see, and he knows their ways There was silence except for the sound of singing that shook the air with its unearthly harmonies. Gray-sen had stopped in the road. Finally, in a shaken voice, he said: "I can't go on, Mr. Wentworth. My heart is breaking with that woman's sorrow, and if I went to her I'd only give her pain." For a full minute he stood silently, his face working with emotion. Hapel had carried his hand to a small gold cross that minged on a black jacket on his shoulder. Sain, could think of nothing to say out a quote. "I'm sorry." Then he saw the face that he had come to think of as being insensitive, almost solid, quiver. He looked at him, still fingering the little cross with an unconscious mechanical movement. Grayson turned slowly on his heel and commenced to retrace his steps toward its cabin. From the house of mourning the music of the sunrise, moving, it throbbed across the sunny afternoon with its burden on human desolation, and always under the shrill grief of the men marched the sustaining beauty power of the single enormously vital Sunday morning was ushered in with a triumphant clanging from the old meeting house. Groups arrived laughing and chattering. The building to the rear seemed its way in. The reverend Whaley starred them off with a roaring spiritual. With one accord they flung themselves into it. It was good to be back with the agreeable God. Go age-old. God who laughed with us to sing and s'out, to pour their sorrow out in a flood song, who minded his own business most of the time and had a pleasant laughing way with him when touched upon theirs. Yes, they were foolishly accustomed to even a短暂 weeks. In the new church Gravass sat alone, listening to the unroar with an expression of column face. Yes, this was the end. They needed so much—and they would not let him give it to them. He had come to the denomination. His own house now he saw no use remaining in the empty building that was so eloquent a reminder of faith. He rose. He saw that a door had entered silently and was sitting on the last bench, just inside the door. He walked down, alse and stopped before him. He saw that it was the woman known "Heater." "As he you come to worship with meek? he is poised." Havar nodded violently but said to them. Gravson's heavy face caught a fleeting sleet from an inner light. "Then we'll have our service just as though the church was full," he He retired and donned his vestments, then asked her to sit just below while he did a desk on his shoulder while he help service. Vast and summative, she went forward and took her hand through the service, quitting only the sermon, she kept her eyes on his face with an eye-brow, uncomprehending steadiness. Grayson pronounced the sentence, then came and sat beside her. Then he said, "I am very grateful to you. You have put new heart into my life. You have Baxter was overcome with embarrassment, but the managed to say 'Tank yo, sut.' A silence followed during when the woman's embarrassment heightened. At last Grayson urged, "You do believe in the God that I present about, do you not? A God of beauty and light and loving-kindness?" Baxter's gaze was on the floor. She was absolutely still. Then suddenly she shocked her head in a violent negative. Graeson almost jumped, so unexpected was her answer. "Then why did you come in Canada?" he asked. She had trouble getting started. Words eluded her and she was trailing terribly hard to be honest yet not hurt him in lot of lot. Ah and little thru by myself in my trouble. Ah, done set cut fub de ole church, and when Ah mass.

He next went to the building was last and only the door remained open he came back to her and held out his hand. Then she saw that it contained a book. "I want to keep this to re-read by" he said. "It is called the Book of Prayer. And see, here in the front is my man and address. You must remember always to tell to you who wants always to be your friend. You have been "The girl's voice was begin- ning to attract attention." real Christian to-day. And now, good-bye. He held out his hand, and Baxter took the book; then she dropped an awkward courtesy and said, "Good-bye, suh," and stepped over the threshold into the bright autumn weather. At the very moment when Baxter entered the new church, a conference which also bore directly upon the destinies of the Thomas of the sunny piazza of a bungalow near the Company's office. It had an appearance of great casualism. Two who were sitting, setting, eating breakfast, enjoying their pies and the long Sunday quiet. The rattle of a vehicle sounded in distance, the rumble of hooks over a wooden bridge, and presently. Proof behind his span of trotters. He alighted, hitched his horses, and stepped on the piazza. "Well, gentlemen," he said. "This is a mighty pretty spell of weathery One of the white men motioned toward a chair. "Have a seat, Caph, and make yourself at home, and make weather," set him down. When the town pells up here, it usually means a pretty spell." Silence then for a moment, except for the far, faint throb of chimes that followed the river all the way from the bank to the men with a soft nummung Baggart lighted a cigar, ripped in his strong, stained teeth, and smiled his mirtthess, muscular smile. "They tell me that the Reverend Quintus is using a nervous spell." he insisted. "And hard luck, too," remarked the taller of his two companions. "The old fellow has put in the great paradox of working among the ringlers, and he ought not to be interfered with." Baggart's eyes met those of the speaker, and his muscula, the adductor to tremble, a nigger, a simple soul, he remarked. and he's got simple ideas on religion. It would be a pity to have them upset. This crowd here's all the tell. The know what's good for 'em, and they aint ready for new ideas yet. He puffed in silence for a moment, then asked casually, "How that fellow Grayson get in here, anyway?" The shorter white man flushed slightly under his tan as he ran down the street, day when we were just shuffling up and sail he wanted to work here. Looked straight mough and laid the mounth down for a moment much about it at the time: "What sort of *lookin'* cus is he—how dark?" "High valier. I guess you call it Crown New York. I hear, and talks like a college president." "Bad morals in New York, specially among the migrants, the niggers, the servants, the servants, as you might say" Bazzert perml in his eyes like the refraction of light permitted a man to pass a bridge. A man paid tribute to humorous subtlety. The two white men laughed softly, fell casually into the conversation: "Any The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, November 30, 1929 The Stormy Career of Jack Johnson - - No. 5 Jack's victory over Dave Picerson, the tough, brought city-wide acclaim.

One of the men said, "Well, to tell you the truth, Caphn, we'd rather not mess up in the affairs of the labour. We make it our business to their own concern." "Yes, very wise policy. I am sure, but some kind-hearted citizen ought to warn him. It is a mighty sickly country for a strange species when you touch on the blood with malaria and all that. If you gentlemen would like, I'll be gone through the village to night, and I could stop and give him a case, as not or, I could get Blut to stop and see him." "The two white men were obviously relieved. The taller one said, "Well, Caphn and don't forget, any time we do any little thing for you, you know where to find us." "Sure, Braggart answered, and his voice was almost hearty. "Always I know to co-operate in any way, and I know to gentlemen feel the same way about it." Suddenly all three men sat forward in listening attitudes, then exchanged glances of satisfaction and understated pride. The village came the full-bodied music of a spiritual swelling out across the marshes and ringing clear and sweet along the river. "Hello!" circulated the short man who had reused the cubes to Grazia and had them all back, in the fold again. never believe in leaving loose end. Good-day. See you gentlemen again." But that night when the troopers jigged up below he fell into his simple housekeeping there was no one to answer Baggart's peremptory hut. He got down from the rig and rapped smartly on the door with his whip. Inside quietly house there was a late momentary reverberation, then silence. The trotters were feeling the chill night air and were pawing trenches in the soft sand with their fore feet in a caught a muzzle in each hand with a sudden fierce affection. They whimmed, and he felt the brush of soot on his face. "I know what we want," he thought, "Niggers—horses. You don't have to tell a horse to leave spaghetti and eat hay." The spring of 1917, and half the world in fiery dissolution, America in at last, Money, Shine. Then, suddenly, the war began. For the daily mingling of beautiful illicour phrases—"A world safe for democracy"—"Self-determination for all peoples"—"The war that the nation's advertising power—the press—Committee on Public Information—Four-Minute Men—Ministers of the treasury, front page and side by side on Sunday.

The men. It were your mother. Your wife. Saint Wentworth's blood crawled to his heart, then flicked in a burning tide, leaving a brass on his tragu. Now of ever, he needed the heroic dreams to help him through. But they would not come to him. On the contrary, after the first flush of anger, he sat at the pit of his stomach But he had certain knowledge of what he must do. He turned the store over to Daryl. He took the book he was book. Crops were essential to victory—phosphates to crops—Saint, according to unanswerable departmental logic, was essential to phosphates. Crops took back to the mines until he was called. Back again into the quiet of black Carolina. He could scarcely believe that he inhabited the same plank town, two miles out. Out in the wide solitudes of marsh and pine forest the shocks that were being delivered against the merits of mobile opinion were muffled. Then slowly the change commenced to come. Invading committees arrived. Groups of razors from the north and south of the town, for the most part, kept young mutants much in carnet. discovering their backwoods brethren for the first time, they were the only opportunity for the race. A world made safe for democracy. "After this war—the Negro's chance—getting mitten" "like cones" came lower from town with a gift for oratory and two lovely girls in nursecostumes. The Red Cross. No such arrests. The police. No such stamps, but suffering humanity—the weaker of the battlefield— blood, agony—"The Good Samaritan" —Who was going to help? The realism of the speaker was cut short by a piercing scream. A bobblement of sobbing filled the room, punctuated by walks of agony. An unsteady voice called, "Do blood put he mask on me." The line was caught up by a backed assemblage, and the spiritual out in the little meeting house. In two and threes the congregation commenced to ship out, while those in the city were in the city. Finally there were only a few left. The young lawyer was frankly disgusted. He had been wasting his time, and he had walked out on him without so much as a single donation. He got into his overcoat, and called the foolish around with his sort of thing. Suddenly the chorus swelled up again, and he saw that they were not locked and commenced to come forward to the platform. Then he saw that they had money in their hands, copperers, coppers, dollar bills. They came and plied it before him. Every penny in the village. They gave their tears and the output of the city. There was presence in the room. After that, in the black belt, there was the first elimmer of realisation of the stupendous trazeged that was raising beyond the city somewhere Then the draft: thirty point boxes from the camp, dressed in their Sunday clothes, waiting in the coolest great deal about it all—very excited and self-important—boasting immediately. Women—lots of them, crowned in the Red Cross speech in their minds, and an old, dark lunge terror of the unknown suffening their faces, widening their eyes in fear in a gust of hysteria. An incredibly ancient croc, whose mind and siped a one and snapped back seventy years earlier, wailed: "Dee's kid, sell um tell um de sugar-cane fields. Ah knows it. Dev's goin' sum um Louisiana, an' we ain' nobion' sum um no no. Oh, Gawd, had a little month since the man had gone; then, one bright day. Saint called the women to the commissary mazza and distributed envelopes, bounded the first separation allowances. Everybody rich now—excellence—laughter, and the dark fear forgotten thirty ounces of men went away were now objects of envy in the village. Strange talk in the air—something about "Gold Star mothers"—mystery. Then the sipy said, "We all had it all to everybody satisfaction. So it was not "Gold Star" after all, but gold tooth mothers, and the government's office that runs the dentist's office in town every month and get a gold tooth out of the check—one tooth a month to make sure they had been away. After that, Midas moving through the village—smiles showing wide and ever wider smile as the sipy little dentist happening by now and then to see how things were getting along, driving a twin-six that pulled up a great dust cloud where we went. Now the commissary was getting its share of checks that seemed to vie with one another to the extent that they were tied and Gilly Bluton, who strangely enough, had not been called, with his eyes everywhere, keener than ever at discernance, cards, and participants in hidden crap game. Now labor was growing scarce and wages were soaring. The result was obvious: three days, the result of six. Who were left in need of six. Why should a man in his good sense work a whole week in when half that time he could earn enough to keep alive plenty of money for perfectly flat and absorbing sun, or ossin on the store pizza? And so the camp developed a leisure class that loitered gloriously through the late summer and into the long autumn quale. Some from the boys in concentration and training cannons, which were brought to Saint to read. They were having the time of their lives and seated on themselves, thus straining at brons buttons. Truthly the war cloud that hung over half the world and cast its master shadow across millions, had nothing for his forgotten comrade in the war but a glam from its other lining. But over the old city across the narrow Ashley the shadow was widening. When Saint went to churn now with his help, he was with his fifty-five stars hanning in the vestibule, and as the months passed, gold commenced of his work and blinds some now! He went to headmasters and made another effort to be transferred in active service. He held them in truth about the work, and they were to listen to old stories with new twists to them, and he was sent back to the mines to wait. Valerie Land wrote from her Red Cross I wanted you to be in it. It does, until I continued on Page Twelve. $269 REWARD TO AMMOVE STAYING 4 ROUNDOS BOB THOMPSON When Rob Thompson came to Galveston he offered twenty-five dollars to anyone who would stay four rounds with him. Jack accepted the challenge, but barely stayed the four rounds, for Thompson whipped him in such a manner that it was two weeks before he could venture forth to spend the twenty-five dollars. FAIR EXCHANGE IS NO This Week's ROBBERY True Story no . mo . toolishness. You hear me?" Dan's voice was husky with intense passion. His strong toil-hardened fingers cruelly turned my wrist until I almost fainted with the pain of it. "Don't, please, Dan." I pleaded tearfully, glancing fearfully up and down the dark street. "Somebody's liable to see you. Let's go some place where we can talk." "We can do all the talkin' we need to see here, gal. Ain't no joke gain nowhere else. You're giving me the run around. You can't kid me no longer." "But Dan," I protested, wincing unsteadily. "I'm NOT trying to kid you. I told you all there is to tell. I just can't afford to be seen with you any more. Ma and Pa won't stand for it, and everybody will soon be talking to you. We don't belong to the same circle, Dan." "Uhh!! Shamed of me, eh?" we screeered. "Well, what did you do with the stuff you didn't hold of all that high hit stuff before?" Yes, why didn't I thought of it before? Why had it? I realized that was playing with fire when I started to burn the BBQ to a bloody womom. Why had I listened to Carrie Fenda and gone there with her in the first place? None of my set went to the place. I never knew what I had never to enter its portals and I knew that a rather common class of peo- 8 "We danced together again and again.

Moreover, I'm more democratic than my mother and father: I don't believe one group is better than the other. That's way wrong, even though she doesn't belong to my particular group although she doesn't belong to my particular group and never did. Dar replied the same way. Ma and Pa lectured me for at least two hours. I explained that there was a gap between Dan and me, but promised not to see him any more. They pointed out what a scandal there would be if the people of our set found out I was going with a tunnel worker. I was ashamed of myself. Probably I HAD been indirect in view of the fact that I was engaged to Phil Washburn, son of Attorney Daniel Washburn, father's best friend. Jun when he got his degree and went to work in his father's office. The Blijo Ballroom, was what the boys called jam-up. It was a block long and there was a wall there, whole lot different. I found it from prayer meetings and choir practice. It didn't bother me that the dicties didn't go there. Surely, I response, there wasn't any in in going just once myself. Of course, we had no escorts, and I guess that was bad. "Arrie was temporarily out of a fellow and Phil Washburn, my fae," I said.

He impressed me largely. I suppose, because we were different from the fellows a sweet. We danced together again and again. It was foolish of me to encourage him but his constant fattery, money for food and drink sort of dulled my sense of caution. Once during the evening Carrie whispered to me: Play him hard. Dora. He's crazy about good-looking him. Wish I could get him for a steady. After he treated me so nice, I didn't have the heart to refuse his company some. I was in a hurry to because he was so worried about Mother's warring, but Dad wouldn't let me go until I kissed him in order to escape quickly; I consented. His moving picture embrace disturbed me.

Dan was a little rough but I liked his company for a change. Fourth meeting, he began talking about marriage. I could see from the look in his eyes that he was deadly in earnest. I didn't tell him about Phil but I let him know that I just liked him as a friend. He didn't be. We were parting at the doorstep when father drove up in his coupe from a late call. He saw us kiss.

I explained that there was nothing between Dan and me, but promised not to see him any more, and there would be it the people of our set found out I was going with a tunnel worker. When I thought it over that night I was shamed of myself. Probably I HAD been indirect in view of the face that I was engaged to Phil Washburn, son of Attorney Daniel Washburn, father's best friend. June I went to him he got his degree and went to work in his father's office. I felt sorry for Dan because seemed to be in trouble but our nirs' warning and stance away from both the Bjug and Dan. It was then that Dan began to pester me. First, there came several long misses, misses, misses, but then he came up with war. Then he began to loiter on our block at night waiting for me to come by. Now he had caught me right near my home and I was strenched. Of course could yell for the police or for my father but that would only advertise the affair to the world—the very thing I didn't want under the curtains. "Well, whatcha gonna do?" he growled. "Are you gonna see me some more? Are you gonna give me a break? I don't gotta have me no more, metta gotta have me创zra gotta and vei gotta gimme change." I could tell by the expressive in on his face that couldn't be bigger some height would pass and then grasping tongues would start wagging. In spite of Jack's growing progress and prestige in pujilism his mother and father prevailed upon him not to neglect his education. Jack did not extend his schooling very far, but in deference to them, he managed to complete the gravatar grades. What a peck of trouble my wildness had got me into! "I tell you on you the corner as seven-thirty tomorrow night," I lied, sweetly to more effectively disarm him, and then offered him my tips though I inwardly revolted against caresses. I had come to my sens, but I wasn't out of my difficulty. He seemed satisfied and departed, I knew I couldn't afford to see him again under any circumstances, and I was so scared that I ransacked my mimo until far into the night. It was too much for me, Dan was too tough to be scared off whole community, learning about it, but I was so scared. Next morning came a letter from Pill to add to my troubles. He was coming home for Thanksgiving and would be in town for three or four days. I was a little apprehensive, too. Suppose he should be with me when Den next accessed me! What a pretty thought of it. I should asluded as I thought of it. I knew Dan would be waiting for me on the corner and I knew Phil would want to go out somewhere that night after dinner. True. I could play with her when I hadn't seen him since Labor Day? Noone came and I was terribly worried. I was walking disconsolately homeward when Carrie Fonda overroded me and "you're looking gloomier than a bankrupt. What's the matter? You and Dan fall out?" It was a relief to be able to confide in someone, so Carrie, who knew her mother well and was a welcoming confidant. She didn't really belong to my circle, but she was a good kid, very pretty, with clear, brown complexion and long curly hair. She was also one of the shrewdest shebias in town. Although a senior in high school and only eighteen, she knew a while lot more that some women. But she comforted, if I had told her everything. "I know Dan Cullen. He's a good catch but not in your class. Besides you got Phil Washburn. But you can't shoo Dan off. He's a tough bird." "I know it, Carrie," I agreed, "but what can I do? If I stand his up tonight he's liable to be just crazy enough to come around to the house. Now wouldn't that be a mess—with Phil there?" "Well, I'll tell you," she proposed as we walked up the street. "Let ME meet him in your place. I think I can fix things." She would not tell me her plans and I was so glad to get help that I wouldn't dress her for them. I felt nighthearted when I got home and consequently was able to greet my Phil cherrily and affectionately when he bounced in, in his raccoon coat. He had driven down from Boston in his roadster. How different he was from Dan Cullen. Boyish, very dignified, culture, precise. He was every inch a man and a gentleman. How foolish I had been to engage in a dance-hall flirtation. He wanted to go to a show and afterwards to a sorority dance. Trembled inside. We would have to go by the corner at the very time Dan would be waiting. I couldn't refuse him after such a long absence. We walked faintly down the street. Fear tugged at my heart. My gaiety was a preface. It was a crisp November evening, the smell of dead leaves are bonnie and berry, and the nudges of their leaves lifted gaud, accusing fingers against the starry, moonlit sky. From the houses along the avenue came the sounds of phonography. We came to the corner, I looked furiously around. No, Dan wasn't there. Oh! Who was that in the shadow? My heart leaped. It was a shivering sensation. They withdrew into the shadow, Phil and I walked 'aesthetic' them. I was almost fainting with excitement. It was a good half-hour covering. As I sat in the theatre and afterward circled the floor in his arms at the sorority dance. I thought arian and again in Carrie and Dan. What happened? I had she restrained him? I momentarily recoiled as I conjured up the memory of his stifely fingers gripped Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I was busy celebrating the "unskilling holiday with Phil. But kept thinking of Carrie and Dan. I wondered how to change his tenure? I wondered. Monday at school I saw her. She winked at me across several "ows of desks. After classes, I sought her out but couldn't find her. From across the class room next day she grinned immishly yet reassuringly. Desperate with curiosity, I wrote her a note and had it slipped to her. "Why the silence?" I inquired. "I'm dying with curiosity." "Take your time friend of mine," she wrote back. "I'm doing this." Evidently she was, because she wouldn't tell me anything for the next month except that everything was going all right. At any rate I saw no more of Dan Cullen. At graduation exercises she sat next to me. "Well, for Lord's sake tell me all about it." I beaged "What in the world did you do to Dan Cullen? I haven't seen a sign of him. What's the secret?" "Well. I didn't want to talk until I (Continued on Page Twelve) FRED B. MURPHY Mamba's Daughters 12 (Continued from Page Eleven) not here and saw it. But now I am glad, glas that you were made to wait. It is not a bit like the posters. At first, in the cantons at Havre, it had the thrill of adventure about it, and I wished for you. Eu then the boys were going out. Now, here in the hospital, they are coming back, and my heart breaks into a piece of the old New York. If it were for two of the old wives, they would have wounded while serving in a camouflage unit and who are here in the hospital, I don't know what I would do. Then another time she said: My boys are getting better, but their me as are gone. Imagine sending an artist into it. Of course, camouflage is playing an important part in the war, but it is a terrible thing to keep the boys under fire. They are tremendously brave about it, cut they have spent their lives learning to see clearly and feel keenly, and they can't protect themselves as well as the others, and they have to pay so dearly. Saint's fingers closed over his insensate letter as though it were part of the girl who had written it, and he felt her slipping out of his grasp. For the first time in his life he was furiously jealous. His blood seethed with rebellion. He strode about the little room with fists clinched and angry tears forcing themselves into his eyes, making him feel more useless and futile than ever. He heard someone rapping on the counter to call him to the store. The sound came as loud as he. He flung over his door and stole glaring into the room. Bluton was leaning against the counter. "Lemme have a couple,ars," he called, and like an insult Wentworth heat the metallic ring. Instead of going behind the counter he crossed the floor, his heels hit hard, his fists clenched. When he was within two feet of Negro, he saw his face. Negro's expression was one of ludicrous surprise. He backed away several steps, with the white man closing in upon him. Then the surprise eyes gave place on the exaltation swept over Wentworth. Exquisite tremors shock his muscles, then passed, leaving them pulled tight. He said in a hard, level voice: "Get out! The Negro抱住 rapidly toward the opening his back he spoke: "What de matter? Ah ain't done nuttin!" He was palpably afraid, and the knowledge of it flamed through Saint like an intoxicated, the remaining that separated and caught Bluton by the coat collar. The Negro went slack in his grasp, warning, terrified and inert, babbling softly and incoherently with loose lips. Saint him around, thrust him through the pizza kicked him squarely "the pizza." Bullet lit and drew himself together for a bolt. "Stop." Saint commanded. "Stop." Sault cohinhan. The word brought the Nero up like a tautened lariat, catching him in the net of springing and pulling him up. Saint looked him squarely in the eyes and said: "I just want to tell you that I've got something on you that will put you up for it and it's locked up in the office of a town lawyer. If you ever stick a leg in this store again you have you arrested. Get that you take it out on any of my Negroes. It's the same thing. Now, get to hell There was an ashy tinge to Bluton's complexion. Without a word he man turned on his heels. Wentworth opened and closed his hips several times, sniffing them in him. Then he gave a short, exultant laugh and put a question to the pines: "Now, where from?" He stood under the question, browed, bowed his brow furrowed. So slowly the answer came in. In the beginning he had unthinkingly taken the estimate of others on Bluton. The Negroes feared him, and fear is contagious. The white men at the danger had amount of his condescension, Baggart, and he had adopted their attitude of tactful and expedient. Handing. Now, suddenly he had encountered the Negro in a moment when his own rebellion freed him from at least a few of his own. He had been no one but himself. He had acted spontaneously on instinct, and the result had been electrifying. For the life his life, the wonder that wonder succeeded bluff. For the first time he realised the advantage that lies with the aggressor. He presented success to him came to his mind: Attkinson and Raymond. They did not sit waiting on the defense but had gone out and the world Very well, he would do the same. If he couldn't go to France, he would at least see afterwards a trumpeter. He would go to incarceration and put himself at the service of the central committee for work in the mining district, and at the same time Mr. Raymond the straight story of the episode with Bluton. The following morning, when Wentworth appeared at the general offices on Broad Street, he was shown at once into the room. The manage himself, Raymond rose and hands warmly. His eyes were quizzical as he rested them on the face of his 'trekweeper. He never knew quite what to expect from Wentworth. He said: 'I sent a message out in the mues asked happened out there that I want to discuss with you.' Saint redened, but he said firmly "I kicked him out of the store; that's all. I knew he was worthy. He was my friend. If you don't mind I tell you my day now, then leave it to you." The employer leave it with him, spit "Oh, so you kicked him out, go ahead. Who was he, and why?" Saint told his story briefly, then sat back in his chair awaiting the answer. In a voice that gave no indication of his feelings Raymond remarked: "You have your own way of turning the Company, haven't you?" Then, without waiting for a reply, he continued: "Well, I didn't know about something else that I wanted to talk over with you. Yesterday Goodlow chucked his job War pickings are too fat for you, I could gain for that. Left us high and dry without a manager for the stores." The completeness with which Saint redened to his new philosophy was demonstrated in his immediate response. He leaned across the desk, looked point-blank into his employee's eyes and said, "You're that job. You're Raymond. You've just got to." "And have you kick my customers out of the front door?" I ask that to me, sir. You'll have to let me run things my own way. But if you do, I'll promise to give you everything I've got. The big man got to his feet and held out his hand. "That's all that an employee can ask," he said with an air of confidence and out to mowward at ten to go over the details with you. Nineteen hundred and eighteen—a hectic year. Stupendous energies were hurled into colossal tasks and projects. Winter—spring—summer tree on each other's heels in their haste to finish the job. But in the mining camp dew was still unshaken from the morning grass, sun still poured gracious warmth on taxed moors lifted over the pulvines, pulvines tides high into salt creeks, unen released them to drain de seaward again. Nothing was changed deeply. It was as though the fossils beneath the feet spoke to them of their long death, human existence, the futility of all human effort in the changeless face of time. The great ages powered above their scattered坟墓. The broad marshes rimmed their world. The men who had gone from that district were in a labour battalion. Their letters told of a world full of wonders but little of horrible war. And in the battle of still higher levels, separation allowances continued to arrive monthly with unfailing regularity, and the smiles of the "gold-tooth mothers" grew always broader and more indeed. In the last war had not Mr. Lincoln come South and smitten the chains from their legs with his own hands, as shown in pictures upon many cabin walls? And now was this man, who had been so often then, should one be stingy in the dispensing of golden smiles? Then suddenly a new word crossed the Ashley and made its debut in the camp. The word was "Armistice." It had a ringing sound like smitten brass; it filled the mouth, and it mated well with other fine reverberant words. The Reverend Quintus Whaley heard it first in the office of the mining company, memorised it then and there, and the tellowing Sunday employed it three times with great effect. The first occasion was: "Ah say unto yo' sebenty time seben, button on yo' sword an' armistice an' battle wid de debil." Ten minutes later a subtle change of meaning was revealed in this usage: "An' dere war t'ree angel singin' at de golden gate, an' one been name' Gabriel, an' one been name' Philadelphia, an' de l's' one, an' dc greates' ob al' occi' name' Armistice." But the final appearance of the glittering new acquisition was at the same time the most audacious and mystifying, for it popped suddenly into the benediction and associated itself upon terms of such intimacy with the Trinity that, had an orthodox believer been present, the result must certainly have been a heresy trial for the Reverend Quintus. It was a great word. There was no gatsbying that. But later, when its meaning became definitely associated with the cessation of hostility, it became an important temporal limitation. The Armistice! "To not only the Reverend Quintus Wheley did the cessation of hostility, the significant shades of meaning. From the Atlantic to the Pacific it rang from a hundred million, throats, clanged from trantic bells, and belled from the ocean, from the whistles. Peace. An end to the slaughter. Then, like a starting gun: a suspendous race, it thundered back and launched the country upon its brief and preposterous epoch of bravage, expansion, and inflation. Across the Atlantic the masks were off at Versailles. The Fourteen Points impractical, perhaps, but born of the agonies and aspirations of a people who would have done with war, were being manipulated cleverly as decos, fluffers, and flippers to hand, forgotten. Everywhere nations business, individuals in a mad stampede for the spoils. On the exchanges stocks were rocketing dazzling unacustomed eyes, piling up illusory fortunes. Over mountains and across the plains the rails were humming beneath vast moving waves. Faces were so screaming. Everyone had something to sell—something to buy in the little room behind the store at the mining camp sat a very different Saint Wentworth from the self-fellating boy who had entered the mine with his messy keeper. The flaring cowboy still played havoc with all attempts at a disciplined part, and gave his hair an appearance of sprouting in his hair. He was over his left forehead. But the brow seemed to have heightened with his greater maturity, and the old daydreams that had filled his state-collar were made war for a purposefulness that rendered them intensely aware of the physical world upon which they nosed. His figure was slender but muscular and len. air to the somber undistinguished suit that he wore. He had just completed the final reports on his various war work committees—the draft board—the work committee—four conservation — agriculture. He had done his best by it all, but now he was glad that it was over. Glad, with the exception, perhaps, of his own ideas. He had realised the uselessness of attempting to educate the local Neroes in the vast abstraction of the European conflict. He had cast an unrealistic logical use to which they could be put, and had hit upon the scheme of encouraging them to farm. He had gone to town with his plants and had been given the training in nencing of a number of small tracts that had been put in truck by Negro families. He had become tremendously interested in the experiment of the Neroes, and started to keep behind the movement for the benefit of the Negroes themselves, and to prove to his financial backers that the proposal could be made to pay on its own account. He glanced around the little room with a rather grim smile. As it had reflected the boy, with its books,校衬, specimens, so now it offered dumb furniture, a set of tables and a filing cabinet stood even placed to a large flat-top desk, and a filing cabinet stood in the corner once occupied by the bookcase. The guitar, the collection of fossils, the treasured collection of books, and the vanished. Valerie had once said that the room was his battle helm. Well, here it was after the first engagement, and, as Saint surveyed it on the day of casting up accounts, there was in his own mind not the treasure he had found, but well. He smiled a little indulgently as he remembered the doubts, the vague gr�ries, the bovish passion that he had out into the quest for something that always eluded him something the glimmered now and throbbed in a chord of music, that took him sharply when autumn ran against the pines. When he was done with abstractions now. He was face to face with something actual, something that yielded results that could be computed upon an adding machine. He was living in town now, back in the little brick house. Polly had fulfilled her destiny and had done very well for herself. Her husband, John, had been back in his substantial law practice in Richmond; and Richmond was one of the very few other cities in America in which a Charleston girl could memorable existence without an interview. There was a chance there had been another change in the little house, a sad one from which Sain't mind still winced when his thoughts touched it. Maum Nesta had gone. Almost a year before, she came to the care of her height, unknown except in her tiny orbit, the old woman had joined in the vast migration and answered the call of the only voice that could proclaim her emancipation from the Wentworth family. Now, try as she did, to be accustomed to the crisp mulatto maid who had come to take her place. But there were pleasant things to think about. There was the car to be exhibited as a symbol of success and to serve when he went the rounds of the several stores on his desk in the main downtown office. These things meant the realisation of his mother's definitely patterned dream, and it was also beginning to mean a great deal to him. He was now a gentleman with a Broad street address and adequately educated, he think only about marriage, and next week Valerie's unit was due to sail from France. Mamba sat in her window over the old carriage house in the rear of the Attkinson's garden. About her everywhere the spring was busy with frogs and frogs of old city. At the pavement's edge it had captured a guarded oak that had not yet waked from its winter sleep, and had buried it beneath the heading rush vantage point, flying columns were being tung to right and left to whelm the chrome and madder of a winter wall beneath invading mauve and had changed. It no longer lashed in from the sea with its wintry tang of salt, but swept across the city from the southwest in a broad languorous tide, heavy with earthy tones. It was the season when youth strained toward with racing pulses; when age disturbed and saddened, stock of the past and draws solace from the past. They have brought. With elbows on the sill and her face propped between her palms, Mamba locked upon the alarming visage of spring with an expression in which the spirit was swollen. It was held at bay only by her old indomitable look of determination. Under her feet the years were gathering speed alarmingly now. There were black momen, when she would wonder whether she had it in her to hold on until Lasse knew her own way in that strange new world of hers. The Akinson children were growing, too, and no longer needed her care. But she had made no missteps as she white- lk and bound them to herself by an illusory mutual past. As the boy and girl achieved emulation from her watchful eyes and became absorbed by school, athletics, and its old city, she felt herself gradually taking rank as a pensioner of the family. Now the thousand-and-one old jobs that had engaged her in the lives of the Wentworths were again her lot. She no longer carried the slipper bag to dances, for Jack, now a breezy dug of seventeen, respilient in his first dinner jacket, but finally finished at an expensive school, went rolling out of the gate in the big car that had come to live under Mamba's room in the old carriage, to be shined, flowers to be found, and the front door to be tended on Mrs. Akinson's afternoons. She knew that as long as she could hold on, could successfully substitute the illusion of a girl for a boy, would face well. Her large clean room over the garage gave the girl a good home and her white folks fed her, just as they did Mamba, in their kitchen, and failed to be critical of all things, for her grandchild, the girl would have no claim on the Akinsons—and her mother would be less than useless as a guiding hand. Sometimes now on her way to Mazarin, there would be moments when she would forget names and faces and the steady light of her purpose would be obscured by blowing mists. Then she would summon her sister, and again, but it was an effort that always left her shaken. Had she spared herself in any particular in her sacrifices for Lissa, her hardness to Hagar would have been quite without justification, but she had looked forward to in her old age for the girl, and so, as a matter of course, should the mother. When Lissa reached the age of seventeen, so long had she not been a girl, that the figure had first grown vague and then been remodeled in her imagination into at least partial conformity with her new standard. When she was a young mafia "was employed up "state" and sent her the money for clothes, music, and all the things that enabled her to hold her head up in Retrofit. Returning to voice beginning to attract attention. She was doing solos in church, and in programmes given at the new coloured W.C.A. rooms. In appalling large girl for her age, her figure was well developed and straight as an Indian's, and that almost obscured strain of Indian in Mamba had faded up and given her a skin of pale lustred bronze through which the colour beat her cheeks and her full-lipped small mouth Her hair, fine and straight, was well after her first kiss. Liza and beneath it she held in reserve small close-set ears, which, like her beautiful modelled hands, were a heritage from her mother people. But she was not a mother, under stress of emotion would deepen and brighten until they glowed like dark amber in sunlight. She had the Negro's faculty in music, so that under stress every gesture became a graphic interpretation, but her years of hard drilling in music, and her teacher's directions for posture and facial expression, were overdiscipling the emotions as well as the body. Her early natural charm was becoming a studied attitude. Now, she would say, could she let herself go and forget herself in music. But the cultivated air of well-bred restraint was the charm that presided admitted her to the most exclusive circle of Negro society in the city. Among the girls that she knew it was said by many that she was hard to find, and in the garden of others. But in a set rife with glacialises, and with her conspicuous attainments, talk of this girl no more than was to be expected. In the old city that was so strong in its class consciousness among the people, it was singular that there was so little realization of the same across the colour line, there existed much the same state of affairs. There were, in the opinion of most of the people, that the class of Negroes—those who knew their place and those who did not—of late years the latter class was larger and more former in lamentably large numbers. At all the innumerable distinct segments that comprised Negro society in the mild and on the white, indulgent and on the lily, indulgent and on the shark, was well known that the shark The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, November 30, 1929 T4 Here is a new idea for the boys in the Model Airplane Builders contest.

Main Thing in Bridge is to Learn How to Bid. Ques a few persons labor under the belief that to become a good bridge plier you must be a good whist player. Such an opinion is entirely erroneous. In fact, some of the best players until they began to play bridge. Of course, whist, being the parent of bridge, is very similar, and a person with a fair knowledge of bridge, but that is as far as it goes. Quite frequently, in my personal experience, persons who knew nothing of whist got along quite as fast and digested bridge just as readily as old whist players. Therefore. That is that a knowledge of whist is not necessary, because a good bridge it. It is the study that you put into the game and the receptive qualities you have for your instructions. Ask Questions Here, let me state, that this department, that this department will willing to give you all the help possible in giving insight to the game. Anything you don't understand and questions that naturally arise during pla, and other things that handicap your game will be explained. Even hands which puzzle you will be ed. Just follow the questionaries and succeeding issues of this paper for the answers. The first, and incidentally, one of the most vital things in bridge—and at the same time one of the things most ignored in bridge—is the bid. Beginners in bridge believe that "the play" is the most important thing about the game, but in fact that receives secondary consideration to a certain objection: strangers may seem, bidding is much harder to learn than the play. Two Should Bid When you bid, your partner and you are contracting a certain objection, which you can be made between two persons. Therefore, your bidng must be co-operative. This is the point that the layman loses sift ht of. To the average player it is not the contract on the strength of his individual hand is his predominant purpose. He cannot seem to realize that he must need the combined strength of the two hands his own and his partners—to make his The partnership features of Auerton Bridge cannot be too strongly emphasized, and those who conceive the game to be even more difficult in which each individual is plunged against the other three, will never become good bridge players. The Declauser after he has become familiar when he is playing the hand, works without assistance; but even he is carrying out a partnership project which was devoeed during the bidding. This brings out the intrinsic use of co-operative buddies, shows the disadvantage of competitive bidding. 20-operative Bidding In order to understand co-operative bidding more clearly I go a bit further. During the Auction each side endeavors to secure the contract by out-bidding the other side to do so. To do so you depict the character of us hand for the enlightenment of his partie. This is accomplished by a highly conventionalized system of bidding good players have constancy this idea in view, (1) to secure the contract if they have the strength to obtain it; (2) in case two or more good players have constancy this idea one that will be the most productive; (3) if they haven't the strength to obtain the contract, to force their opponents to so high a a that they will not be able to carry out Now let this sink in. If the bidding has been scientifically conducted, Declarer, when he sees dummy cards will probably have the satisfaction that he is about to undertake is precisely the one he and his partner would have chosen if they had seen each other's cards before began. An Example To further, carry this, let me give you an example: Dealer holds ace, king, ten and two of spades and the ace, queen, jack and three smaller aces in the major hearts. His partner holds jack and two smaller spades and the four ten in hearts, but holds four honors, a small in a minor diamonds. The dealer bid, one spade if am taking or granted that this game is being played by average bridge players, dealer's guild, is sensing a very strong hand, realizes the benefit of a major bid and wants his partner to select the major suit he can give the most help in. Moreover, he will bid three hearts over his partner, three diamonds and his original bid in spaces, increasing the bid but not the contract. In this manner he forces his partner name thus the dealer will have a better spade hand he will bid three spades which again fails to increase the contract but increases the bid. If he is stronger in hearts he will bid three hearts. To the layman this appears as an unnecessary bid as a pass might have gotten the contract in hearts. But supposing fourth hand holds eight clubs headed with tour honors, he will instantly establish the dealer as thinking that his partner is too weak, because of his pass, will pass also and allow the club bid to gain the contract, by s. doing the original bidder will permit a possible grand stair in a major suit to be drawn away.

MORGAN CROSSES GOAL Morgan Twice Held on One-Yard Line. (Be Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON. — More than 1,500 fans braved the severest football weather of this season to see the Morgan Bear and the Howard basketball to a scoreless tie, here Saturday. Last year the score was the same in the game at Baltimore. Snow and rain together with sharp lines and gridiron tackles but ideal, Morgan, rated the underdog, turned in a brilliant performance, out-playing Howard every department. He offloaded some game in the first per-turn when Ukerd, substitute fullback, hit the Morgan line, and Marshall skirted the ends for gains, out their attempts never needed the Morgan go deepest. Howard twice held Morgan on one-verse line. Poor judgment in the chain of plays together with Howard's fighting spirit prevented a Plag in Howard Territory Morgan's offensive was launched in the second quarter, and from then on until the final whistle, practically all of the game was played. Fumbles by Pinky Clarke and Lawless marred several scoring opportunities for the Bears in the second period. In this quarter the Bears worked the ball to Howard in line where they held for down. Marshall's kicking was the only thing that was saving the Bisons from certain disaster, as time and strain his top slammer for Clarks to kick a catch and the ball was unlucky permitted to roll until it was dead. Morgan made use of a break in the goal when Laverne could the goal to Howard's inward stripe, where the Howard safety man was showed into the ball by a Morgan player, the Laverne covering the goal before the player could what he had happened. Cross Goal, Called Back After a series of rushes by Tim Hicks, Soulandcrossed the Howard goal line, only to be brought back when it was ruled that a Morgan back was in motion before the ball Marshall then punted only to his 30-yard line and Clarke and Hicks immediately worked the oval back to the 15-yard line. A pass to Bell gained, but not out enough held, were defended and the ball went on to Howard on the one-ward line. Marshall punted to the Bears on their 45-ward line. Both Kick Often Both teams kicked frequently in the final period. It was in this period that Marshawn Johnson hit the ball landed behind Pinky Clerge, safety man and rolline 35 vards before it was recovered by the Moylan horse. Marshawn Johnson hit the ball behind 45-vard line, the ball being recovered by Morgan. Penalties amounting to 20 vards were overturned. Marshall later kicking to midfield. Heward intercepted a Moran on his own 32-ward line, and later made first down, but a fumble found Moran in possession of the ball Bayer if you want the relief that genuine when people are in pain made you miserable, you ache anywhere, effective?

Interest, which is always high in this struggle, is even higher this year, in view of the West Virginia eleven's defeat of Bluefield, undefeated for three years. Wilberforce has suffered only one defeat this season, and that to Tuskegee at Chicago. For the past two years the teams have tied, last year the score being 13-13 in the contest played at Cleveland. This year, Wilberforce is the only remaining obstacle in the Yellowjackets' path to bar them from a national football championship and the Hamblin-coached men are determined to keep their record clean. Coach Hamblin has moulded one of the best teams that has ever sported the Black and Gold. He has a big rugged and fast charging line that works smocantly in front of a fast charging backfield quartet of Nash, Whitted, Edwards and Boxdale. This backfield has shown predicant and versatility in Yellowjacket victories over Howard, Lincoln (Mo.) and Bluefield. All the quad has been kept in good condition and are in for form for the classic. Fowler L.E. Green Oliver L.E. Bess Oliver L.E. D.Cleerson Russell C. Anderson Rose R.G. G. Scott Oak R.G.

SHARPE BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—With the "Big Four" among college teams in the southeastern part of the country having been reduced to the "Big Three" because the membership of Fisk University in the new conference did not materialize, the game between Morehouse College and Talladega College here Friday, will decide the championship of the Collegiate Athletic Conference. Knoxville, Morehouse, and Talladega constitute the "Big Three." Knoxville has met defeat at the hands of both of the other teams. Fisk withdrew with these teams from the old southeastern conference, but Fisk has strengthened her athletic position by adding several very good players from other schools who would be ineligible to play this year under the rules of the conference.

Had 20 Plays More than Average Quarter. TIMEKEEPER BLAMED Neville Reed to Referee Howard-Lincoln Game. NEW YORK—An enumeration and analysis of plays run off during the Hampton-Lincoln game in New York, November 2, shows that in the first quarter there were fifty plays. Time of the average, quarter is 15 minutes, but the first period of this game lasted 36 minutes, including timeouts. This is blamed upon the New York-Reed to indicate the end of the period at the proper time. An average of 30 plays per quarter has been established by leading grid officials and coaches, as indicative of the number of plays that can be played on this basis some time ago it was recommended to the rules committee that timing be abolished and the game consist of 120 plays. The average number of plays for the last three quarters of this Hampton-Lincoln game, but 20 more plays than the average were run in the first quarter. In the second quarter there were 30 plays, in the third, 29 and in the fourth, 31. The fact that 50 plays were played in the second indicates that something was wrong. Officials Kick Mr. Reed, who kept time in this game, will be the referee in the Lincoln-Howard game. Thanksgiving Day at Philadelphia. Last year he served as the referee at Howard. A week before the game time, Eastern Board officials declared that they would not work with the Philadelphia. As a result no E.B.O. officials were used. Leonard Gibson, who worked last year and will work again this year, are affiliated with the Eastern Board, but are not members. Messrs. Gibson and Wright are members of the Ballimore Board of Officials, the former being president of that body. Lincoln-A. and T. Objection to Reed's work is said to have begun in 1928 when A. and T. College played at Lincoln. Reed, in this game, was timekeeper, and was blamed for failure to call time at the end of the first quarter, at which time without a change of goals. Following this error he is said to have announced that the second half could be played in the same manner, but was over-ruled. in the West Virginia-Howard game last year, he had an argument with the referee and game last year, he was waved aside by Referee Lawson when he attempted to rule on a play. Newspaper men in the play was out of his jurisdiction. Choice of Reed as referee for the big classic came as a surprise to many of the followers of the game. L. Johnson, Gibson, has been handling the classic in past years, but this year will serve as jumme NEVER NO GODFREY?

The Alabama State put up a stubborn resistance for the full sixty minutes, but Tuskegee outrushed, outpassed and outclassed the Hornets, displaying a versatile and crushing attack. Abbott used plenty of substitutes during the game and found that his second eleven was able to outgain the local outfit. The Teachers played a hard, spirited game of football, but they were unable to cope with the game. That Tuskegee poured on the field. Coach Abbott sent in his first team to start the second period and Stevenson opened with both barrels. Runners passed the ball to the ball to the 36-yard line.

The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly Star Breaks Leg As Ducks Trim Stanton Murdock, Duck Quarterback, is Hurt in Last Game of the Season. VISITORS MUM Deaf and Dumb Signal System Cheered by Fans. Inspired football, played by a team that hit its stride in the final game of the season, enabled the Douglass High School Dukes to defeat the lighter Stanton High School eleven of Annapolis, by a 12-0 score at Maryland Park, Friday. Douglass scored early, the first touchdown coming in the third play, off, when Earl Parker, Douglass halftack, tucked the oval under his arms and scampered 35 yards on a brilliant sweep end left to score. The try for the extra point, via placement, was the second Duck touchdown came in the third period, when Savage ran 35 yards on an end run, to cross the Stanton goal line. The try for the extra point was again wide, as Stanton shot. Snow furries fell during the game and the weather was the coldest football weather experienced here this season. Stanton pulled a surprise on the locals when quarterback Parker gave the signals in sign language. On each Stanton play during the first three periods, the line would face the backfield, receive the signal, and pass the ball to the precision. Not once was there a hitch in the signals. Following Parker's touchdown, the visitors' line tightened and during the second period, Murdock, Douglass, quarterback, took his place in the quarter and Brown was sent in at halfback. It was in this period that Stanton after having worked the ball to the Ducks' 15-yard line, as the ball was dropped, and then tried a place kick which the Douglass forwards blocked. Again in this period Stanton made first down on the Ducks' 20-yard line, but the Baltimore line held and forced the visitors to lice the ball after advancing it only two yards. Douglass scored the final touchdown in the last quarter, shortly after a forward pass. Parker i C丹ley, made 35 yards from their 30-yard line to play against a defensive dash off on a brilliant run around the Stanton right wing, which did not end until he had crossed the goal line. Three minutes later the rame ended with Douglass in possession of the ball in midfield, and made 9 first downs against 6 for Stanton. DOUGLASS STANTON Collins L.E J.

This is true, "free" University,ible record is five times and one lost; while St. Paul's most possible record and I lost. State made her smothering contest by scoring in every period. She started it with a touchdown by gauntlet, continued in the second quarter with another by "Red" Dabney and wound up by vicious assaults the Saints with a touchdown by the third quarter with touchdowns by Bounds and Williams and 13 markers in the fourth quarter on two more touchdowns; both by Dabney at a ultra point on the field by Williams. State's defense in this battle may be seen by the fact that St. Paul never threatened to score except late in the second quarter when she reached State's 11-vard line only to be checked by the champions' defense which throughout the game yielded only 3 first downs. St. Paul's best work was done by Murphy on the defense and offense, and by Byrd, Coleman, Wells and Burke on the defensive, the offensive, Weals and Lee and the backfield performances of Bounds, Dabney, and Rovall was outstanding for the winners.

L. Sharpe, alumni director of Telegraph College, Alabama. The burden of the Alabama writer's communication is contained in the following extract: "Football, as it is played among our schools is more difficult to classify than football among other groups, because our schools have not grown numerically, so that the status should be raised. We have some large schools playing men of secondary grade and of college grade, and there are good men in both these classes. We also have a group of schools who play only college men, recognizing certain scholastic standards. Herefore I believe, I am wondering, however, if such a condition should continue to exist, for we are attempting to grow in establishing strong systems of education. The standards of all departments should be uniform. This letter to ask your opinion on the general request for the selection of All-American players, among our groups by classification such as All-American college players, All-American secondary and normal school players as well as All-American high school players with definite attention given to high school work. Well, well, well, that's a pretty big order to fill, but I think most factors will be to it is only a matter of time when some radical changes will have to be made in the rating of our college gridders. Not that the selection of a player by any group of officials or writers amounts to a tinker's dam, but because it is the only fair means of classifying players. The differences in which players of secondary grade are superior to those in college grade. I have seen such cases. How then, someone asks, can you place this superior secondary player with a group of players who are far his inferior? And this pillar replies that it will be only a short time, until the period when the student will justify itself in assigning all players of one grade to one general group." The principle difficulty in such a system, as this writer sees it, is in working out an academic eligibility list that will stand the test. If academy players are to be borne from college, they must be employed by the college where they are college men. When the schools have worked out these lists, then some progress can be made in rating the various players. This is going to work a hardship on the academy star who is better than his college opponent ever dared to be in. If he is not in, he will be out. When the new collegiate athletic conference in the South was formed, I wrote at length on the matter, pointing out that it is conceivable that a student may study harder in order to be able to make the team. It is a rather high premium to place upon athletes, especially those who are not college players, not work that way permanently. I believe such a system is badly needed, but cannot be worked out until the academic heads recognize a general standard on which the various institutions may be rated. The problem, however, should be none the less vital to the coaches and players as fans and fans of college will not be obtained unless it is consistently and continually talked about. THAT LOUD YELP YOU HEARD was Jimmy Dougherty, big George Godfrey's manager, howling in the wilderness of Leiperville, by the New York, the Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts commissions, for alleged stalling in his fight with Jim Byrne, white, in the Boston arena. When he heard the news, Dougherty is reported to have exclaimed that a franeum. It is very evident that the commissioners of the country who were appointed to protect boxing really want to hand the vacated heavyweight title to someone." Dougherty was very bitter in his reaction to the action of the fisticists and asserted that they were in league with certain heavyweights and are consequently Godfrey out. What has "I'll give up," Dupherry is reported as saying, "Godfrey hasn't a chance in the world. I'll shelve him." Godfrey's opportunities to get good fights are slim, the Leipersville demands that men be armed to fight him make financial demands that would mean suicide for any same promoter. As a result, the fighters who can be booked for the "Big Truck" are a bunch of hans. It is reported that Knute Hansen, white, who accepted a $2,500 purse for a fight in Philadelphia, refused to meet the wind, blowing from another quarter, whispers of a fight at New York in February, between Godfrey and the German perfume boy, Max Schmeling. Godfrey told me a pair of weeks ago that he had "heard" about it, but the praise agents report that Godfrey grindstones and balancing box cars in preparation for the bout. Stop on your way out at the corner grocery, and buy a couple of boxes of salt. TWO STRAIGHT DEFATES suffered by the local Athenian basketball team, have already started touches to warding. Fans would not be fans, you know, if they didn't talk about such things, and from their comments and diagnosis it appears that two things need to be prescribed for the Greek patient. Under present conditions it is difficult, but facing the facts squarely, one does not have to look hard to see that the Athenians are in poor physical condition. Denials to the contrary will not help, and unless some of the members get in condition and STAY in condition during the remainder of the season, the locals are going to find their path rocky. The second need of the Athenians, as this writer sees it, is a TALL and fast center. The loss of Rufe Hackett to the Morgan Bears was more of a blow to the locals than they realized at the time the lanky backeter left them, and until they develop someone to fill his shoes, there is going to be trouble. This composite prescription should put the Greeks in shape before they start their more rugged schedule. "Doctor" Howard Wright and his assistants should not find it hard to administer VA.

State Eagles, mid a light snowfall, here Saturday. During the first and second quarters Union was repulsed twice by the Tarheelers when they were within scoring distance. In the first quarter Union carried the ball to N.C. 14-yard line through the efforts of Gill and Maxie Robinson, but were unable to gain further ground because of the deadly tackling by Jones and Witherspoon, these men constantly breaking through and throwing Union's back for losses. In the second quarter Union had the ball on State's 12-yard line but the Carolinians refused to yield to their heavier opponents. In the third quarter Booth, of Union, intercepted a pass which practiced the oval on State's 30-yard line. Robinson made the 10-yard line and collected 8 more on the next play. From this point, Buss Williams, Union's diminutive quarterback, carried the ball to the 3-yard line, and slid it into the touchdown. Williams made the extra point by an off-tackle play.

The game marked a step toward the inauguration of soccer in intercollegiate play, thrilled as time and again the work of Queen, Hampton's efficient goalie, saved the day for the Seasiders. Hampton Scores on Break. When the initial score was made, on a free kick just outside of Howard's penalty area, Summer, Hampton's head of five able defenders to score the first point. But Howard came back better than before, for hardly had the kick off been in progress when Roberts. This evened the count, but in the closing minutes of the period, Gray scored once more for the goal. In the third period, after repeated assaults at the Howard goal, Summer, who had shifted to outside right, scored a goal and opened the count. But Nybunco still as aggressive as ever, came right back with another to put Howard cut in front. It was here that Queen was showing how to play, as was made the Howard forward, playing have with his goal, only to have their plans frustrated. All during the period, Howard played in the Seasideers territory, scoring a goal and Hamilton marched down the field on some unplug passes to knot the count. Hampton will meet Howard in a return match next Saturday in the Houston Stadium. Washington is the HOWARD HAMPTON Gray O.J. Albright N.Y. C.F. McLean Nybonco J.R. Bryant de Frutes J.R.

Rain had fallen at intervals early Friday morning, turned into sleet Friday night, and when the two teams took the field, the red clay gridiron was a softire. The crowd was small. Teams Well Matched Both teams had been rated on par long before game time, but are the first quarter had ended there was little doubt of Smith's superiority, Walker, of Smith's superiority, Gillard taking his place, Smith, though outspread by Morehouse, played brainy football, and as a result turned defeat into victory by selecting the proper plays, proper time, and by holding the Ti- Bulls Score The Bulls scored two touchdowns in the first period, the first one being the direct result of a bad Morehouse pass from center. With the ball on his 38-yard mark, the Bulls scored a touchdown end, dropped back to kick, but Smith's pass from center was high, the ball rolling to the Morehouse 11-yard line, where it was recoverer by "Red" for Smith, or "Red" for Bulls, skirted the end of the Morehouse team for a touchdown.

The third quarter found Smith pleasing on conservative football with a strong offense advantage. Both teams were forced to punt often, and due to the mud ball none of the kicks had any distance. Williams's kicks however were high, and enabled a few yards to the field to nail the Morehouse receiver in tracks.

Clayton Powell that Church Members are also to Blame. While many local ministers are divided on the wisdom of preaching such sermons as that preached by the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinia Baptist church New York most of them by way in this week by AFP AMERICAN reporters agreed that the church which tolerates an immoral preacher is as much responsible as the minister. The following are some comments "MISS 'FORCE' AT CLASSIC WILBERFORCE, O.—Miss Leo Butler, Washington, D.C., a Junior in the College of Education, was chosen by popular vote as "Miss Wilberforce" of 1929-30, and as such will serve as Wilberforce's The following are some comments given by local pastors: Commends Sermon "It is a fine thing that Dr. Powell equalized the responsibility in this matter, because any church that supports the church as bad as the preacher. And any immoralist, whether in the pulpit or the pew, is a curse to the world and an abomination in the sight of God. Therefore, whenever a preacher, whether he be a preacher, whether he be a Bishop Cannon or a Carey, or some preacher riding a circuit in the woods the Christian thing for the church to do is to make a thorough investigation of the church, and the right hand of fellowship, from him and put him in the class with the demons of hell where he really belongs. "This is the only way that the church can clear itself in the eyes of the church, and thus take its place in the community." Thanks God fo It "Thank God for this challenging message, and I am glad that it came from within the ranks of the ministry, from no less a minister than Clayton Powell.—The Rev. S H. James, Minister, Leadenhall church Baptist Church. Dr. Powell Right "Dr. Powell is exactly right. I endorse him to the limit. A man should stay in the right place then he will be more successful. He will hypocrites by their right names—hypocrites."—The Rev. M. Wilkinson pastor, M. Ararat Baptist Church. Does Not Endrs "I do not endorse Dr. Powell's sermon. I think it is a reflection on the ministry"—The Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor, Shiloh Baptist Church. Better to Tell Truth "Such sermons may cause ministers to lose prestige and influence with the people, but it is better for ministers to tell the truth. Ministers as a whole have been too mealy-mouthed, mounted on the shoulders of a robe to trip such problems." The Rev. G. W. King, pastor, Abyssina Baptist Church. Double Good Effect "What concerns me most is. Was Dr. Powell's method helpful? Lots of folks will read this interview and it may cause them to lose faith in me. I believe it is fair to compromise on any question concerning a minister but I don't thing such broadcast criticisms helps. Get the fellow and tell him." Elkridge Baptist Church. No Reflection on Ministry "I agree with Dr. Powell's views as expressed in the AFRO. I do not think a man reflects on the ministry by mentioning what is already known to him. If you don't want disgraceful things said of you then don't disgraceful things. If you don't take a stand against wrong then you are in the wrong."—The Rev. Kevin Williamson, pastor, Faith Baptist Church. Bold Argument "It was a very bold argument from a very bold man. I command him." Mr. Waters, John Wesley A.M.E. Church Charges are too Sweeping "In the first place, my knowledge of the ministry, after serving in it for a number of years, during five years, I have a persistence of more than two hundred men, has brought me to respect the ministry more than ever. I find the ministry more difficult than willing to sacrifice to the limit for the good of the people. There were few whose morals I had reason to question. "In the second place, I take the view that the minister is yet the outstanding leader in our race group. We cannot afford to fight now this leadership—the our leadership we have in the church, who are as wolves in sheep's clothing. "In the third place, after a careful study of many issues that I have been faced with, the only safe rule to follow is never to make a blanket statement branding any group or class as wholly good or as wholly bad." The Rev. C. Hughes, pastor, Metropolitan M. Church Two Old Kilmarnock Citizens Buried Buried Worker and Old Teacher Buried From Same Church KILMARNOCK, Va.—Two men by the same name and old members and workers in the same church were buried here last week, Spencer B Caster, superintendent of the Sun- day school for over twenty years, Buried in Bain in a teacher for over twenty-five years.

Building Trades Busy in Philly. Newark Motor Company Slows Down. Omaha Organizes Building Tradesmen. NEW YORK.-The Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, of which T. Arnold Hill is director, issued the following release of employment conditions for October: Gains In Chicago opportunities increased in the salesfield. Several stores, that formerly had refused to use Negro help, employed clerks and cashiers. There were many service workers, power machine operators and lamp shade makers; in Grand Rapids a large department store replaced white girls on elevators; stock girls and boys on elevators; stock cooled; also painted men replaced, white persons A large foundry in the same city employed nearly 160 Negroes where whites had been previously employed, and a new industry is using some 20 men and as car washers in Minneapolis, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis made use of their own stories; while Des Mines and Richmond, Virginia, gave employment to a large number of domestic workers. Los Angeles A chain store in Los Angeles employed two clerks and a garmen company agreed to hire both experienced and inexperienced women as garmen operators. Negroes are beginning to be attracted to the Agricultural Districts to raise cattle. Their first reaction was a divided response, but when the industrial secretary of Los Angeles Urban League, was able to show that women were learning from $25 to $28 a week with snigger, water, heat, light, and beds furnished, they no longer thought it the usual farming arrangement which they had tired of in other Mexican countries. At present, Mexican has the appropriate skill of the Nesro with cotton, many growers are bidding for him exclusively. Omaha In Omaha a young woman was appointed as typist in the District Court's office, a new tunnel project is giving employment to 24 Negroes, the lowest wage being $720 a day, a former car washer now has charge of all used cars, having replaced a white employee, and a highway construction company has given employment to more than 50 men from Omaha—the demand for Negro labor being greater than the supply. Philadelphia In Philadelphia and Fort Wayne Indiana, the building trades are furnished work for a goodly number of men; in St. Louis there was a demand for skilled workers in foundries, and two stock boys were placed in a large shoe company. In Austin Texas, Albany Georgia, and South East Missouri. Negroes are making good in farming; and Spartanburg reports that a Negro demonstration at the county fair gave temporary employment to more than 300 three new schools in the county gave employment to six teachers and corrosion work gave employment to several. Losses A large motor company in Newark laid off a number of employees because of the slowing down of many operations incident to the transferring of the plant to another city; St. Louis reports that 275 men were laid off in the stone, clay and glass industries because of decreased building activity; 50 from the steel man Company and 35 from the steel plant; a department store in Minneapolis discontinued several departments; setting out a large number of employees, some of which were colored; and in Los Angeles a department store has replaced its Negro help with Japanese, and a Negro clerk was discharged from an insurance company because of pressure outside of the company that his job be given to a white person Organized Labor In Omaha the building trades union through a new secretary from Chicago has induced a number of Negroes to join the union. Within this more than three have had all and all are working on a wage increase of fifteen to twenty cents per hour. N. Y. Civil Service COMPILED BY THE NEW FORK ACADEMY OF BUSINESS.

Appointed 4,000,000 PERSONS ARE STILL IN SLAVERY 4,000,000 PERSONS ARE STILL IN SLAVERY Philly Daily Claims that Liberia's Record Is Now the Worst. FAULKNER PRAISED His Charges in Afro Startled Press of Country. PHILADELPHIA. — (CNS.) The slavery conditions existing in Liberia and recourse; brought to the attention of the civilized world, by J. C. F. Faulkner of Monrovia, first through the AFRO-AMERICAN, is the subject of numerous editorial expressions throughout the country since the announcement of the appointment of Henry Carter, white, as charge d'affairs at the Liberian legation. Charging that Liberia has the worst modern slavery record, and that the colored races of the world themselves are the groups that keep their freedom in the collection, the Philadelphia Record says. 4,000,000 Slaves "At the present day, between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 persons are being held in slavery throughout the world." Lady Simon, wife of Sir John Simon, and co-worker with him in the 1830s, organized the figures public in a comprehensive study. The countries in which the traffic still exists are Abyssinia, the Sudan, Arabia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, China, Burma and Nepal. "Great Britain abolished slavery in its possessions by an Act of Parliament in 1833; the French had taken similar action in 1819. The first country to end the evil was Denmark, by royal decree, in 1792. To abolish the United States cost a million lives." In 1819, the Allies, in convention at St. Germain, voted to endeavor to secure total suppression. League of Nations "The next major step was the League of Nations Convention of 1926, which did little more than decide to study the issue, and to forbid exportation and importation of slaves, popular enthusiasm now will help people to escape slaveage, since most of the slave-holding countries are beyond white control. Liberla Worst "The one point in the entire situation which is of particular importance to America is the fact that Liberia has the worst modern slave record. Liberia, established by this country in Africa as a national home for free Negroes, had perpetuated slave-dealing and slave-holding." U. S.

WORLD MAKES EXPOSE Slaves Who Won't Work are Jailed by Illegal Law. NEW YORK. — Although it is against state and federal laws to imprison a man for simple debt, a law in Florida makes possible the imprisonment of many Negroes for no other crime than this, says Orlando K. Armstrong, white, writing for the New York World. In 1923 the Florida Legislature abolished leasing and flogging of convicts, after an exposure made by the World, but now a reporter finds pecnage and virtual imprisonment for debt in the same state. The law responsible for this evil was passed in 1919, under the governorship of Sidney J. Cats, who in his campaign promised to "put the Nigger back in his place." He was tried in a Federal court for pecnage shortly after his term expired, but was acquitted. Mr. Armstrong states that his curiosity about the law was aroused by repeated statements of Negroes in lumber and naval stores and camps that, regardless of pay, conditions or treatment, they were not free to leave their employers. They would be put on the chain gang for six months if they died. With sections of Florida, lumber and turpentine are almost the only industries. One large naval store operator has some 2,500 Negroes employed, scattered about numerous camps in several counties. Recruiters Colored Interviewing several men running away from the camps, and some who were confined, it was found out that many had been "recruited" by some Negro making glowing promises of high wages and easy hours. The unsuspecting victims would be turned over to a white driver who took them not to the place promised, but to the turpentine headquarters, but they would be forced to work there a man with a gun at his side. Those might try to escape would be sentenced to the chain gang for six months. Commissary The companies own a commissary where the hands are compelled to trade. Prices range from 50 to 100 per cent, higher than at other stores. The clerk takes the money. When pay day comes at the end of the month, the worker may get $5, or he may get a slip saying that he owes the commissary money. There is no recourse, no chance to escape, if they try to escape they get six months on the chain gang, because according to the law they "obtained a thing of value on contract to perform services with intent to defraud." They are made to contract with the lumber and turpentine operators and when they meet their contract it is a fraud — not a debt. From Cain't to Cain't Visiting several camps. Mr. Armstrong was informed that the men worked "from when we can't see in the morning till we can't see at night." Six months of that with changgain钻, blistering heat and mosquitoes in the morning, a running away from his job and account. It is safe to say that most of the men sentenced to the gang on a basis of the law of 1919, were recruited under misrepresentation; were forced to work under intolerable conditions; were caught and warned warrants against them; were misidentified as an unconstitutional law, and sentenced without a blamance of 2 defense. The findings of Mr. Armstrong were turned over to agents of the Bureau of Investigation. United States Department of Justice, at Jacksonville, speech attorney, Adobe. After the law violated the U. S. Constitution which forbids imprisonment for debt. Convictions will be difficult to secure because the operators are men of wealth and respectability. They own big property. They elect the county and state officials. Who's the jury? Men who owe them money? If the operators are accused of peonage, they would bring in the bosses, the bookkeepers and the commissary clerks to testify. Then too, all the big companies have favorite lawyers to get good images and a straw bows. They put them on the stand. They will testify that they have been working for that company for years; paid every month and never mistreated. John Thomas Brown. 2921 N.

JACKSON, ANP) PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Perhaps five hundred thousand artificial gas logs go into the finer homes of the country, and just about thirty per cent of these are the product of a quartette of Negr brothers who for the past fourteen years have conducted their own factory at Oak station, a southside Pittsburgh suburb. Doubtless readers are familiar with the artificial logs with which the homes of many people are equipped. I mean those that look as natural as cord wood itself, but which are in reality mechanically contrived clay effects artistically made to seem like the real thing. Prior to engaging in business for the wealthy sons of a Sewickley, Pa. blacksmith who himself descended from early settlers of Holldays County, Blair County, in the same state, had worked for many years in the pioneer plant of the in- Start in Barn The family home had a barn that was of little use after cows were removed from the ranch by 35 by 45 feet the boys built a small fireclay furnace and began business with a sister, Emma Brown, doing the artistic production of Pennsylvania black oak, silver birch or pigment worm as customer taste might demand. The barn is so wadded to her art as to seem to be unconcerned about romance in its usual acceptance, and it is not because of any lack of personal attention that both are her obvious possessions. New Factory A few weeks since, these boys have opened a new brick factory two stories in height that is 70 by 150 feet and the floor is covered with $43,000. IT is provided with a furnace that will enable the firing of a carload of moulds at one time enabling them to bake for one week at a temperature of 2,500 degrees Celsius accommodates 600 logs and in which five days are required to complete the process, an immense log fire-place challenges the attention of the passersby. These logs are made of calcite clay from Ohio and West Virginia. Abstes from England enters into some of them. Glo-bar, a product of the American aluminum company is also involved in the electrically operated logs. 3.800 Logs a Year The output of the plant for the past fourteen years has averaged 3,800 loss at retail prices ranging from 19 to 42 dollars each. Most of the output is sold to other Obligatory concerns in the gas and electric equipment field, though local sales in the Pittsburgh district are handled directly by the factory management. The product is licensed by the American Gas Institute, the governing body as to thermal units, safety, etc. of the trade.

Arkansas Sheriff Admits Ho Had Used it on Several Occasions. PRISONER CONFESSES Says He Had to When Current Was Turned on. HELENA, Arkansas, (CNS) — A make-shift "electric chair" which Sheriff J. F. Barlow, while, admitted he had used "several times" has been destroyed under court order. James McAllister, 21, whose testimony in a murder case revealed existence of the instrument, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The man, accused of the murder of his stepon, testified that a confession was wring from him by use of the chair. Counsel said the alleged torture of their client would be the basis of an appeal. Counsel Barlow told Judge W. D. Davenport that he had inherited the chair from a long line of predecessors in office, rebuilt it and had used it "several times," but he denied that master had been given the "third degree." Chair in Court Judge Davenport ordered the chair brought into court and after it had been examined, he declared its use an "unilcivilized" one and added: "If these people are going to be mobbed before coming here, there is no use of them." While he was testifying, the prisoner soumatred in describing his experiences in the "electric chair." He said that the chair was wired, and that at intervals the current was turned on until he confessed to strangling his 16-year-old sister. He said he knew the confessed because the pain became unbearable. MEMPHIS. Tenn. (ANP)—Charges of embezzlement against T. H. Hayes, G. W. Alkins, and J. L.

In other words, Arnold's novel and simple scheme is to get some Negroes elected on Democratic tickets from Northern states to Congress and other offices. This he hopes, would scare Southern Democrats into Republican party. Arnold even intimates that President Hoover is greatly interested in this wonderful plan for solving the Republican Negro problem. He implies that the only thing that is balking the Presidential mind and delaying its decision, is the momentous question as to which would be the better strategy: (1) simply to "kick the Negro out" of the Republican party into nowhere, or (2) to anugnate the booting him into a Democratic domain—or both. He implies that he could cause a cessation of the strong anti-Negro offensive against the Republican forces, all this little game, it seems, the Negro is not to be consulted or considered at all; he is simply to be the football, white Republicans and Democrats the players. And yet some people are wondering why the conviction is gradually filtering its way through the Negro's sound cranium, that in so far as his real interests are concerned, neither of these "old parties" is worth a damn!

Court Battle Continues When Mrs. Helen Madigan clearly identified two of the policemen as taking part in the shooting, Judge David startled the court by referring to her as an "unmitigated liar" and a "dishonest woman."
