MEMORIAL COMMISSION AT WHITE HOUSE President Told of Huge War Bounties in U.S. Treasury. Executive Favors $50,000 U.S. Appropriation By CARL MURPHY WASHINGTON, D. C. President Hoover's attention was called Thursday to a huge fund belonging to Negroes but lying dormant in the U. S. treasury. This sum, said to vary between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000. Ferdinand D. Lee, president of the National Memorial Association, told the President, includes unclaimed bounties due to veterans of the Civil War, and unclaimed deposits of the defunct Ferdinand D. Lee. Due to the ignorance of the race just emerging from slavery, Mr. Lee said, neither they nor their relatives had pushed their claims and a huge sum will be lost to the race for a time unless it be secured for some cause as the national Negro memorial. The President promised to investigate. Members of the National Negro Memorium Commission headed by John R. Hawkins, were called to the White House at noon Thursday. President Hoover was 13 minutes late. They informed executive secretary of the president of building is planned in Washington, and invited his aid and suggestions as to how to secure further assistance from the government in the process. The president had appropriated $300,000 which is available only after $500,000 has been raised by the Commission. Hoover Favors Public Contributions The President said that for sentimental reasons a memorial erected by public gifts was more effective than one built by the government, he believed should be made available by once in order to promote a nationwide campaign. Suggestion that the government should take a larger interest in the memorial was made by Mary McLeod of Florida. The much reaction that was this was a matter for the Congress.

Adelbert Helm, white, pastor of the fashionable Bethel Evangelical Church, resigned Sunday in protest against refusal of the white membership to receive two colored candidates who sought admission to the Christmas class and who had attended the church for many years. Rev. Mr. Helm, handed in his resignation at the service Sunday of last week, saying: "To refuse church membership to anyone not of the same race is to deny the most obvious teaching of Jesus and to give the ethical sanctions of Christianity to race preju- The resignation was accepted. Educational Secretary Orville Brummer, in sympathy with the pastor, also resigned. He helm spoke at the same meeting with Dean William Pickens here recently. He said then that he did not love or hate Negroes but that he desired to see justice meted out. He said that if his congregation refused membership to any colored people who would apply that he would resign. Last Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Hemplew wore a wavelern. Three colored people were in the audience. He said in part: "As long as churches—$1,000,000 churches—cust from their midst individuals of another race or creed, who are trying to get in, by refusing membership, just that long will race riots and prejudices persist. These tokens the church stands contended in the face of her own gospel. NOT YOUR CHURCH. "Members of Bethel, this is not your church. It is either God's church or it is only a convenient city club.

"How can we repent, which means to turn around, in Greek? John the Baptist didn't say to get more here; should gradually be changed by education.

Zion Church and the A.M.E. Church now polling the vote in the annual conferences or division elections, on Monday, the election 1818, Dr. Charles Wesley, professor of History at Howard University, told the A.M.E. Preachers of Baltimore, and Washington, meeting in joint session, at Metropolitan A. M.E. Church. Since then various plans to bring the two groups together continued in slavery, during the Civil War, and in freedom. **Baltimore Vote** The Baltimore Annual Conference, itself, voted for unification with Zionism to this extent. In relation to this effect passed the 12th General Conference of the A.M.E. Church, meeting at Philadelphia in 1854. **Submission proposal to the quarterly and annual conferences of both denominations in 1868 showed that Zion favored unification and the majority of the A.M.E. conferences vot- Articles of Agreement The A.M.E. General Conference of 1872 again voted for unification with the air arm in which churches agreed to form a committee of conferences on unification, as a result of which, articles of agreement were drawn up touching doctrine, worship, general education, and two other two. From then until now, Dr. Wesley said, the question has been continuously agitated and in 1908 the Colored Methodists Episcopal Church was invited to two. Merely Playing? "As one looks back over this period of trial and error, Dr. Wesley said, we have been merely playing with unification or deluding ourselves that we have been getting together, when we are, as a matter of fact, still far apart as we are." "Expectations within and without the churches have been periodically aroused. We have left meetings with the thought that we were nearly together and that we were agreed up to that, that our task was still incomplete. Are We Fooling? "Are we feeling ourselves this time, or are repeating the past abortive efforts? The task upon which we have undertaken even before, even in the matter of decision as to a name. "A denomination can defend its existence if we make it a distinctive contribution which no other can possibly make to the religious life of America. Ecclesiastical machinery, which we have undertaken in operation, must give way before the spread of the principles of Jesus Christ — for this is the purpose and mission of our work. If we are not thoughtful we may arouse ourselves from the spell of speechmaking and resolution-passing to find oursure no answer in 1884, spills of all of our boasted development in intelligence and our material progress as a church and racial group since that time.

U.S. SENATE ACTS WEDNESDAY ON HAITI PROBE Hoover Gets $50,000 and Power to Name Commission. KING BLAMES U. S. 2 Warships, 10 Planes, 1,200 Rifles There. WASHINGTON, D. C. Coincident with the receipt of an official report that five Haitians had been killed and twenty wounded by American marines at Aux Cayes last Saturday, President Hoover sent a special message to Congress. He asked authority for the immediate dispatch of a commission to Haiti to review and study the internal situation in that republic with a view to arriving "at some more definite policy than exists at present." An appropriation of $50,000 was requested for that purpose. The personnel he added, would include one or two members from each house of Congress. The president disturbances in Haiti, the president said, emphasize the importance of such an investigation and determination of national policies with respect to the situation there in the future. Prompt Action Congress will probably take prompt action on President Hoover's proposal according to statements by members of the House foreign affairs committee. Patriots Demand Rights "Commissioner John H. Russell, at Port au Prince, reported December 7, substantially, that leaders of about 1,500 patrols demanded to enter an area to assist stalkers and were told stalkers back at work but as they would not believe Capt. Svink the leaders were allowed to pass through the line, enter the town and confer with state leaders. They returned and demanded the release of three prisoners; otherwise they should advance on the town. Their request being refused, they advanced down the road toward the entrance through the cane fields on each side of the road. Five Killed The patrol of twenty Marines fired over their heads and the unarmed lieutenants left on the road for an hour again advanced. The patrol fired again over them but when they closed in with a rush and at least one officer in the midst of fire control the patrol fired, killing five and wounding two. Two Warships Two naval warships were given orders December 7 to proceed to Haiti to defend American lives and property. The aircraft tender "Wright" left Hampton Roads December 7, carrying twenty-one marine and marine gunner and 469 enlisted men. She was bound for Port au Prince. Before reaching Haiti the ship received orders to go to the naval base at Guantanamo Cuba. Cruiser Galveston On the same day, the second line cruiser, of 300 officers and men, including about 45 marines, left the Guantanamo Bay area, Cuba, for Jacmel, Haiti, on the southern end of Haiti, having only a short distance to go.

SURPRISED AT PROTESTS Men Prefer Outside Camp to Crowded Prison. WASHINGTON, D.C. (CNS)—As a result of the vigorous protest against the leasing of Federal prisoners from the Federal prison in Atlanta which was lodged with the Department of Justice of the N.A.A.C.P. and several citizens throughout the country, Judge James A Cobb, of the District of Columbia municipal court and a member of the board of directors of the association, accompanied Mr. Sanford Bates, superintendent of United States Air Force, made a visit to the Chisham County road camp, near Savannah, Georgia for a special investigation on November 30. No Knives and Forks The 97 Negro prisoners there made no complaint to the investigators and are satisfied that they were being treated, although several claimed that they were being overfed with rice and hominy. At the time they were not using knives and forks, the investigators said. Mr. Bates immediately ordered that the men be given fresh meat at least once a day, and that they be given knives and forks without further delay. Armed Guards Removed As a further result of the investigation all armed guards will be removed and the men placed on their honor. The sanitary conditions and the living quarters of the hospital facilities through the hospital facilities were considered inadequate. Mr. Bates ordered that satisfactory hospital facilities be provided, and heated bathing facilities were ordered. The men are housed in a large dormitory which was formerly a hanger. There are no cells, the cots being arranged in the usual dormitory order and line the walls. Prefer Camp The men are given Saturday afternoons off and have time daily for exercise and recreation. A physician-praisoner claims that the men greatest among them are the ones which they are living. The other ninety-six all of them Southerners, claim to prefer the prison camp to the congestion of the Atlanta prison. Mr. Bates told a reporter of the Atlantic prison that, "the officials of the prison believed themselves to be favoring the Negro prisoners when they sent them to camp giving them an opportunity for plenty of air and sunshine. They were greatly surprised at the amount of punishment that their action provoked. No Precedent The Georgia camp, Mr. Bates said, sets no precedent, as prison camps for Federal prisons have been established and used in Michigan, West Virginia and some parts of New England for some time to which prisoners were sent. He still wants to be erected soon to which white men will be sent unless the colored prisoners themselves ask to be housed there. Not Leased He dents that the prisoners are leased but on the contrary states that the Federal government pays for their board and keep. The court ordered that the prisoner contract stating that the prisoners will not be whipped, put in bails and chains, or forced to work under heavy guard. Walter White, assistant secretary of the prison, told the courters of the association. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas and Judge Jayne of Detroit, both members of the board of directors of the association, with Senator Arthur Vandenberg, of Michigan seemed satisfied with the report that the prisoners presented Thursday, by Judge Cobb.

King Favors Withdrawal Senator William H. King, Democrat of Hawaii, said the withdrawal of the American forces of occupation and Haitian independence, said: "The situation in Haiti has been far worse than in the Haitian people resent American occupation and no matter how long we maintain marine and military forces, there will be smoldering resentments against the desired development of Haiti."

The opposition candidates were declared bandits when it became necessary to elect our man to office. Our candidates always win. In one election nobody liked the fellow; . . . the district was canvassed and 400 were found who should vote. Notice of the opening of the polls was given five minutes beforehand. The 400 voters were assembled in a line and when they voted, in about two hours, the polls were closed. If anyone wonders why Haiti objects so violently to marine rule, perhaps careful study of the Butler speech describing the same rule in Nicaragua may illuminate the mystery.

Under the strong pressure of Russell, Hali's judiciary system has been practically abolished, with judges, of high and low courts, all of whom are honest, singularly capable and experienced jurists. 7. A period of 14 years of American military training in the greatest pisur ever known in the Haitian history, Drastic and mediative penalties are being constantly added. 8. In the year 1913, 1,512 Haitians elevated to Cuba. In 1914 only 117 left Hali. In 1915 soon after the landing of the marines the number increased to 2490 and in 1916 to 4878. In 1924-25, 22,968 persons emigrated. It is estimated that 300,000 Haitian laborers have left the country during the past 14 years. 9. Taxes on alcohol and tobacco are applied with brutality without interest and productive as expected. Small distilleries for the most part have closed. 10.

The Haitians have governed themselves without the assistance of any foreign power durer more than 100 years and have successfully obliterated the path of the Haitian crisis.

Members of Congress Criticize Hoover WASHINGTON, D.C., - Senator Henrick Shipstead (Farmer-Labor), of Minnesota, expressed the hope in the Senate, Monday, that Mr Hoover's concession to not to whitewash what has been going on there. He added that Haitian would be satisfied if they would be given an honest election, not the kind that Smedley Butler talks about; and a government will be restored to them. Senator Shipstead stated that he spent three weeks in Haiti two years ago, and in a country where you can buy run for 40 cents a gallon, he did not see a native under the influence of liquor. Representative George Huddleston, (Dem. Ala.) declared that the American Commissioner, the naval officer, was been the time he merely President Hoover's agent. He charged the President with having done nothing so far as anybody knows to prevent the culmination which is now occurring. He charged the five natives killed and 20 wounded by the marines Huddleston said. "Fortunately none of our marines appear to have been hurt. I am glad of that for I would not give the life of a single American boy for the sake of a battle thrown in. There can never be a battle between Americans and Haitians. There can only be a massacre it is merely a question; of how many Haitians the marines can get to. "Mary say of the Haitians, they are a slave. I do not suppose they are fit to govern themselves, but I dare assert that God has not given us the right to rule over them because of this: incapacity. We have no such right under natural laws or moral laws and none under the laws that govern us. We do not understand ourselves, We do not treat these countries as our equals. We do not respect their rights. We do not accord to them the same privileges under internal law that we claim for ourselves."

White Deplores Present-Day Selfishness in Church Relations SECTARIANISM HIT Says Contention for Greatness Holds the Group Down. Declaring that strife and contention for greatness were retarding the gospel, the Rev. E. W. White, pastor of the Provident Baptist Church, made a stirring appeal for unselfish Christianity at the Interdenominational Alliance, Thursday. "The strife and contention for greatness by false standards have ever hindered the onward march of the gospel," said the Rev. White. "Selfish men, selfish women, selfish preachers, wrapped up in self, desiring to know who will be the greatest, the chief, are retarding the Kingdom of God. "There was never a great man or woman who was centered in self. There was never a great preacher who was centered in himself. The world needs men and women who will not be centered in self, but men and women who will roll up their sleeves and get down into the social and religious trenches. "Like iron, lead or mercury, the soul has its specific gravity. The standards of the man. Great men and great women move other men and women in no ordinary way. They push aside like mercury or attack like a magnet. They influence us. They influence something that makes a dent in character or a niche in society by the sheer force of their specific gravity. Greatness does belong to men and women of the man. It is the bigness of heart that makes the birmess of the man. "Jesus said that the greatest is one who serves. The race is is suffering from contentions and strife for the greatest place among them- selves. Let me be first.

Dr. Williams told the committee which gathered for the convention that for the forthcoming celebration which will be held at the Chicago Coliseum, that he expected 75,000 persons to attend The Coliseum seats 20,000. oef 15,000 and 12,000.

Rozier, of Los Angeles, Cal., and his congregation had pledged $5,000 toward the expenses of the meeting and that he had other pledges in cash accounting to $3,100.

The Separate Church The Blackshear incident in Brooklyn, N.Y., which led to an investigation by the Commission on Race Relations before the executive commission of the Council of Churches of Christ in America, was not mentioned by Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the commission, who made his report at the sessions of the council at 31 James M.E. Church, Chicago last week. He investigated race relations in 36 churches and 16 localities in 12 states and summarized opinions from 132 Federal Council associates residing in 33 states and the District of Columbia. He report touched ten denominations. Five associates regarded the question of interracial church membership as part of the general problem of race relationship. Fifty-six associates favored interracial membership and made suggestions for methods to promote it as well as to foster other brotherly race relations. Eleven associates regard interracial membership in churches necessary for the progress of Christianity. Eleven associates harmful or disgraceful to the churches. Two said contacts are necessary for better race relations and four thought interracial membership desirable but hardly possible. An interracial membership involved questions of intermarriage, interracial social mingling and should hinge on whether or not these social practices could be allowed. Generally this group thought it should NOT be done. Nine thought the color line in church membership is necessary or inevitable. In the summary the commission learned: First, that few Negroes, Chinese, Japanese or other non-white persons are in the churches of predominantly white membership. These organizations for race groups in denominations that have both white and colored members are the rule. There is a fellowship between the white and non-white members of the denominations in district and national bodies. Third, more than 80 per cent of the Negro church members of the United States are in churches that are organized on a national district denomination. In other words, the commissioners found out what we already know, that there is a general custom, North and South for colored and white persons themselves into separate churches.

At least this is the view of George W. Harris, editor of the New York: of the New York Times, Walker, white, assistant to William T. Dewart, white, president of the company. Mr. Harris called upon the Sun to discuss its policy towards Negroes. The "Niggers" Reporting the results in his own paper, Mr. Harris said: "Walker began the conference by explaining that he speaking for the NEGROS, his friend, the one he stayed in his place! He continued by saying that the Niggers of the South—insisting that he meant no offense—knew their place, that NEGROS would themselves own people, either in their homes or in public places; that they should segregate themselves; that they should not attend an amusement or accommodation for white people; that there should be no mixed schools; that they should not ride, sleep nor eat in pulman cars; that they should not be in the neighborhoods and that they should recognize, conduct themselves and be happy, as they are in the South, as permanent inferior to white people. Mr. Hewson said, "He protested continually his friendship for Negroes, and dilated continually upon the superior soul of the evils we want, explaining that he was the Southern planter and a graduate of Dartmouth College. He deplored the participation of college athletes in games with white athletes." "He called the lamented Theodore Roosevelt the 'scurm of the earth' for his race policy and for dining with Brooke of Washington. He thought of Mr. Washington. He thought of Mr. Moore for her congressional ladies luncheon with Mrs. De Priest present. Social Equality "He declared that he knew there were colored millionaires with more money than he had. He himself, he himself, worked for a market house (in Boston), dining room on the street when William H. Lewis came into the dining room and had since as before refused to eat anywhere where colored people ate. He did not deny H. superior mind, he said. He said, "I am not at the same table with his color servant. He knew the responsibility of white men for amalgamation and the mulattoes of America. He pro-posed his frequent use of "Niggers" for the race but they must have the potential care of the superior white race. Black Orphan "Their position, he indicated, must be that of black orphan children. Must he be no social equality in short, must he be a slave," he said without apparent passion or bitterness during the conference lasting over an hour."

World's Largest Distributors of race Records By Mail WASHINGTON, D.C.—(ANP)—Approximately 14,000 Negrus are doing work of college grade in the United States, according to an address delivered today by the Teacher Training of the Bureau of Education of the Interior Department, before the National Association of Collegiate Deans and Registrars in Negro schools, at Nashville, Tennessee. Instruction is given by 1,100 Negro teachers instructors, in addition to the white teachers employed. He said in part: "Vocational training should continue to have an important place in the education of the Negro per cent of the population in the city is tilted by over 2,000,000 colored men, women, and children. Over 1,000,000 colored people are in domestic and personal service while 1,000,000 more are employed in manufactures, the industries, chiefly in unskilled occupations. "Leaders in Negro education are stressing more than ever before the importance of school. The last census reports show, 80.18% in professional and semi-professional pursuits, 35,422 being teachers, 19,381 clergymen, 3,542 physicians, and 3,495 physicians and surgeons. Most teachers not Hi School Grads "Educational offerings for certain professionals should be very greatly expanded. Most of the teachers have been in school, and each teacher there are over 60 colored children of school age, in school or out of school. "Shortage of Doctors "A paradox in shortage exists in Negro physicians to care for the health of the race, there being but one colored physician for each 3,100 colored people as compared with one white physicians for every 550 white population. A dire need, therefore, exists for the immediate education of hope Negroes. Owing to the large expense attached to medical education, however, it is probable that the work should be centered in schools, rather than the establishment of additional schools. 950 Lawyers "Nine hundred fifty Negro law"—wrote the nine hundred fifty colored population.

The Freedmen's Bank The effort of the National Memorial Association to secure possession of funds held by the government for depositors of the Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust Company, defunct since 1874, receives an issue which stirred the country after the Civil War, but has been dead since 1910. The bank was established in Washington in 1865, and extended its branches late 1921. It is the only government supervision, owing 6,1144 depositors $2,993,730. The assets of the bank were liquidated, and at the rate of 60 cents on the dollar, depositors were paid $1,733,184. leaving the government treasury. Circulars sent out by the Treasury Department as late 1927 declare that there are no more Freedman's bank funds on hand. But leading men of the country took the position that the government should assume the loss of the depositors, because of its semi-government character. Frederick Douglas, General Howard and practically every compiler of the U.S. Treasury, Democrat or Republican, has held this The bank was established in Washington in 1865, and extended its branches into 33 cities. It was chartered by the government, but the indentation Lincoln and regarded as auxiliary to the Precedent Bank by General O. O. Howard. It failed because of poor management, and lack of proper government supervision, owing $1,144. The assets of the bank were liquidated and, at the rate of 60 cents on the dollar, depositors were paid $1,731,854, leaving $1,208,071 still due them. This sum is not in the government, and loss of the depository Department as late as 1927 declare that there are no more Precedent Bank funds on hand. But leading men of the country took the position that the government should assume loss of the depository Department and practically every compiler of the U. S. Treasury, Democrat or Republican, has held this view from 1881 to 1908. Bills were also issued in Congress to appropriate funds to reimburse the leases. John R. Lynch's bill, to set apart $860,000 for this purpose, was unfitly reported in 1883. President Cleveland recommended it in 1886, and the measure which had this support passed Senator Gallinger's bill, introduced in 1907, suffered a similar fate. The last measure to aid the Freedmen depositors died in the House in 1910 without a vote. The bill will hold the wishing to be the alleged "huge fund between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000 belonging to Negroes lying dormant in the U. S. Treasury," which the Association is seeking to secure for a national memorial to the President without the facts in hand. It's estimate must be cut by two-thirds, and it offers no new facts to justify re-opening a 55-year-old bank to the President than that of President Hoover did not decide favorably. Senator Gellinger's bill, introduced in 1907, suffered a similar fate. The last measure to aid the Freedman depositions died in the House in 1916 without being reported on by the Senate. The depositions is the alleged "huge fund between $2,500,000 and $3,000,000 belonging to Negroes lying dormant in the U. S. Treasury," which the Association is seeking to secure for a national Negro memorial. The delegation went to the President without the facts in his own estimate must be cut by the Senate, and it offers no new facts to justify re-opening a 55-year-old issue which administrations far more favorable to the Negro than that of President Hoover did not decide favorably. President Hoover, opposed to any large government aid to the memorial, would hardly be motivated by the allegations. Incidentally, the Memorial Association's proposal recalls the frightful ignorance of our day concerning Negro history. We recommend that the Baltimore High School program be amended in debating the question whether or not the electoral college should be abolished, turn their attention to mastering the history of black America. There is far more interest in "Should the government reimburse the depositors of the Freedman's Bank," than the question will perhaps prevent further delegations going to the White house on this subject. We recommend that the Baltimore High School pupils who are now engaged in debating the question whether or not the electoral college should be abolished, turn in an attention to mastering the history of American. There is far more interest in "Should the government reimburse the depositors of the Freedmen's Bank," and a study of the question by all our schools will perhaps prevent further delegations going to the White House on this subject. World's Greatest Meddler The title of the world's greatest meddler should be awarded to our country. Last week Secretary of State Stimson dispatched a note to Russia informing the Soviet government that it is violating the Kellogg Peace Pact for renunciation of war by invading China. His answer was bruise. It is true, her note said, that her soldiers had advanced 200 miles into China. It is true that she had signed the peace pact with other nations, but there is nothing in the pact which designated Uncle Sam as the "protector" of the pact. The United States only be settled by these said the Russian Note, and Russia — "cannot admit interference of any other party in these negotiations or the conflict. "In conclusion the Soviet Government cannot forbear expressing amazement that the German government has its own will has no official relations with the Soviet, deems it possible to apply to it with advice and counsel." Few times in our history has our government been able to successfully rebuffed. Maxim Litwinoff, acting commissioner for foreign affairs must even further when on Thursday he advised America, Great Britain and France that they must turn their minds toward activities in South America, warships in Chinese waters and armies in Colonial countries rather than attempt to obstruct Russo-Chinese relations. He chastisement to rebuke, the Russian state department needed hardly wait the week out to see the total discontinuity of an offensive dabber into other people's business. Like a colossal jackass, our Uncle Sam went to the Russian embassy in China just so, begging about the wisdom of world peace, and last week President Hoover sent his message to Congress which informed that body that the U.S. has 1,600 marines in the sovereign republic of China, and that private advice to the AFRO says the number is 2,000 violating the sovereignty and independence of that government. Mr. Hoover even admitted that the U.S. has marines in China, which is most assuredly not U.S. soil. Uncle Sam is only finding fault with Russia because he fears that the Soviet government may rob the Chinese more thoroughly and accurately than the Americans. Two other considerations in this affair command themselves to careful thinkers. The entire diplomatic situation resolves itself unless the government which we trust the Russian government makes a statement of a question to Secretary Simson. This is it. If Uncle Sams's peacemaking is "difficult" and we want to make sure the square miles, about the size of Maryland, population, 2,300,200, black, how many years will be required for peacemaking in China (4,271,717 square miles, about the size of Maryland, population, 2,300,200, black, how many years will be required for peacemaking in China (4,271,717 square miles, about the size of Maryland, population, 400,800,000, yellow)? The Pageant The historical pageant given at Douglass High School last week was remarkable for its possibilities rather than for its actual achievements. It showed that what the public schools have done in folk singing and dancing has been taken from European culture rather than from African sources. The historical pageant given at Douglass High School last week was remarkable for its possibilities rather than for its actual achievements. It showed that what the public schools have done in folk singing and dancing has been taken from European models rather than from African or from native sources. With the folk dances dominating the theatrical halls of the world, Baltimore's school children are doing the folk dances of Russia, France, England and Spain. Our congratulations go out to Director J. M. Pollard and his assistants who succeeded in what they attempted; namely, to show the city how far astray its playgrounds are, recreation centers, and public programs; to must program; to colorate Colored Playground Athletic League staff for which the city has just appropriated $10,000.

Baltimore - Maryland When Dr. David E. Weglein, superintendent of Baltimore schools, told the Interracial Committee that the city gives colored teachers equal pay and school children equal per capita appropriations, he repeated what has been apparent since he became the head of the school system. Under administration, with the aid of the Public School Association has become aroused as never before to the need of educational progress in which color has no part. For this advancement, not only are Mayor Bennett, mayor Jackson, the Board of Estimates, Dr. Weglein, Mrs. Marie O. Bauernschmidt and the School Board responsible, but many other public-spirited citizens who have discovered that Baltimore cannot progress half ignorant and half educated. This phenomenal growth and progress, the State of Maryland continues its way apparently untouched and unconcerned. Its average pay for colored county teachers is $586, white teachers $1126 and its per capita expenditure is only a fraction of what it spends on other cities. Under such circumstances, it is to be regretted that State Superintendent of Schools Albert Cook absented himself from the annual meeting of the Maryland Interracial Committee, of which is a member, last Monday. Dr. Weglein would have heard Dr. Weglein say that he recommended Baltimore's school policy for the whole State of Maryland as well as for the rest of the country; and he would have listened again to Commissioners James P. Sawyer, game, forests, soil, crops and domestic animals, and how little for the rural Negro child. Benjamin Franklin said: "Remember time is money." J. B. Brickstone, without contradicting Franklin, added that, "Time was made for slaves." And so people are bored by long-winded orations, laborious sermons, tedious information, game, forests, soil, crops and domestic animals, and how little for the rural Negro child. But get them to spend an hour or two in listening to a silver-tongued speaker, an entertaining show, a striking sermon, or brilliant visitors, then they seek to prolong the enjoyment and recall that education in effect that only slaves live by the clock.

Weglein, superintendent of Baltimore schools, told the Interracial Committee that the city gives colored teachers equal pay and school and college programs, repeated what has been apparent since he became the head of the school system. Under administrations Democratic and Republican, the city with the aid of the Public School Association has become aroused as new educational progress in which color has no part. For this advancement, not only are Mayor Browning, Ex-Mayor Jackson, the Board of Estimates, the State Board responsible, but many other public-spotted citizens who have discovered that Baltimore cannot progress half ignorant and half educated. This phenomenal growth and progress, the State of Maryland continues its way apparently untouched and unconcerned. Its average pay for colored county teachers is $886, white teachers $1,128 and its per capita expenditure is one fraction of what it spends on other citizens. Under such circumstances, it is to be regretted that State Superintendent of Schools Albert Cook absented himself from the annual meeting of the Maryland Interracial Committee, of which is a Monday. for one thing, he would have heard Dr. Weglein say that he recommended Baltimore's school to take a more aggressive stance, so for the rest of the country; and he would have listened again to Commissioner James F. Stewart tell how much the State is doing to conserve fish, water, and animals and how little it for the rural Negro child. Benjamin Franklin said: "Remember time is money." J. B. Brickstone, without contradicting Franklin, added that, "Time was made for slaves." And so when people are bored by long-winded orations, laborious sermons, tedious theatrical plays, and strenuous刷员 visits, they quickly recall what Franklin said about time being money and figure out how much they have lost. But get them to spend an hour or two in listening to a silver-tongued speaker, an entertaining show, a striking sermon, or brilliant visitors, they beek to polling the enjoyment and recall that Brickstone remarked in effect that slaves live by the clock.

Sinclair Out of Jail Because He's a Millionaire, Fort Percent of New York's Prison Population Are Colored, Jails Are Poor Men's Chips. Priser Support of N.A.A.C.J. Could Change This. To the Editor: Harry F. Sinclair is at large again after six short months in jail in Washington, D.C. Mr. Sinclair is out because he is a murderer. He is also a man of God Almighty. Even then he was not convicted for the major crime with which he was charged. Rich men seldom go to jail in America or any other country. The money is power. It enables the accused to get the most high-trained lawyers and thus defeat the ends of justice. These rich men are usually guilty but they are not guilty. They are a matter of fact, the jails and prisons of the United States are filled with the poor, the disinherited, the weak. This is true in every other country too. The number of the poor cent of all crimes are those against the bulk of the people have none.

As a matter of fact, the jails and prisons of the United States are filled with the poor, the unemployed, and the underprivileged country, too. The prison is the poor man's club since 80 per cent of all crimes are those against property and business, but the majority are Negroes constituting the lowest social and economic group in our country, there is a disproportionate number of them inhabiting our prisons, jails and detention homes, the majority of whom are the inmates of the city jails are black men and women, despite the fact that the Negro population is but 4 per cent of the total population in other communities throughout the country. The bulk of our prison population is recruited from the ranks of the working class. The bulk of the negroes being obo the working class, and the majority of them are the most most of whom are prejudiced against him. The loss to our cur group is around $10,000,000 annually. Negroes are not the only group most of whom would give an established and respected national organization like the N.A.A.C.P. sufficient money to adequately defend every Negro accused of crime and exhaust every means to Because the Negro constitute the lowest social proportionate number of them inhabiting our prisons, jails and detention "homes." In New York, the city jails are black men and women, despite the fact that the Negro population is but 4 percent of the city's population, in the communities throughout the country. The bulk of our prison population is recruited from the ranks of the working class. The bulk of the prisoners are black men, a Negro goes to face whites people, most of whom are prejudiced against him. The loss to our group is around $10,000 annually, annually. If they would give an established and respected national organization like the N.A.A.C.P. suffer, they accused of crime and exhaust every means to free him. We are not worried over what white people will say about "Negroes defending their criminals." If we were more zealous in defending them, we would gain a greater white uniform thugs we would gain a greater uniform spect from the dominant group in our country, nothing of saving millions of dollars annually. Time Hell At West Point To the Editor: that your paper has fallen into the same rut that almost all other paper, with reference to Alonzo S. Parham's statement to the editor that no longer be treated "at present." This is a protesae nissoeception and misrepresentation of the truth. The protesae nissoeception that Partham could not two grains of salt any ot. er statement than one that would coincide with the one given by the superintendent at West Foote, the superintendent from any one of our Federal prisons, he has to give it with the consent of the warden, who in most instances, has someone present when the statement is being This is true of a cadet who is permitted to give a statement from West Point to a newspaper reporter, especially after a statement has come out. The statement, such as came out in the Sunday New York World, if the Negroes in this country don't know that Parham is going to be dismissed from West Point, in a few weeks unless some pressure is brought to bear upon the authorities, they are a Contempt for Government I have had the pleasure of going to West Point on several occasions and my last visit there was November 22nd, and I stayed until November 24th, and I saw a girl in the building, and I have a contempt for this government to see how, for instance, black cavalry men are treated. They are not allowed to bathe in the river up there with the cavalry cavalry men, due to the fact that they are more mature years. They have a pool that 30 or 40 men can bathe in (in fact that many should not bath; in it) at one time. This pool was built by the men themselves, because the government is appropriate money to pay outside them to build it. I have had the pleasure of going to West Point on several occasions. I was the captain and I stayed until November 24th, and I saw a lot of things that moved me and almost made me feel for instance, black cavalry men are treated. They are not allowed to bathe in the river up there, and some white man was drowned some years ago. They have a pool that 30 or 40 men can bathe in, and some one time. This pool was built by the men themselves, because the government refused to appropriate money to pay out. Officers Reduced Everyone who is conversant with the situation knows this to be a fact and the lieutenants and majors who were sent there after the war, were reduced to sergeants without being dischar- Everyone who is conversant with the situation knows this to be a fact and also knows that the senators who are sent there are the majors who were sent there after the war, were reduced to sergeants without being discharged. All the colored sergeants live in houses where there are no electric lights nor steam heat, all of the white sergeants have these modern improvements. Sergeant Milton T. Dean (formerly me. or) has been at West Point five years. His quarters still have a fireplace, and he uses oil lamps for lighting purposes. Whenever a request is made to Congress for money to elect senators for new provisions, there is no money available as is usual when anything is to be done for colored people. A strange thing about this whole matter is that not a paper nor a politician has had anything to say about these conditions. All the colored sergeants live in houses where there are no electric lights nor steam heat, all of which sergeants have these modern improvements. Sergeant Milton T.

When a request is made to Congress for money to electrify his house, or to make other modern improvements, there is no money available as is when anything is to be done for colored people. The strange thing about this whole matter is that, not a paper book, has had anything to say about these conditions. Officers Did Talking The New York World was right in all that it told me. The himself denies it, which was the only thing he could do unless he had guts enough not to say anything. He did not, because I got the statement myself from a number of officers, but after so much noise is made about it, the World denied that the man expected the World to do? When I came back from West 20, on the 24th, I offered to give the story, but the man refused to publish it, which shows how cowardly they are. I got my facts from the same source that had black and white officers.

I got my facts from the same source that I got from the World Bank that is to say from both black and white officers. Always Beeo Hell The treatment accorded Negroes at West Point was to be treated with a special treatment them. Since the freedom of the Negro, only three Negroes have been able to stay there until graduation. Negroes have been treated with a sense an idea of what has been going on there. The treatment accorded Negroes at West Point is ancient history, it has always been a hell for Negroes. The treatment accorded Negroes have been able to stay there until graduation. This gives anybody with good sense an idea of what has been going on there. Negroes have been taught by Joseph A. Gavagan, L. J. Dyer, Hamilton Fish, Jr., and Mrs. Ruth B. Congresswoman, bringing these facts to their attention, and I have also seen that Negroes have been taught Why did West Point break a custom which L. was kept for one hundred years, and allow Parham to talk? It was because they want to bluff these Negroes who are too willing to leave. L. P. COLES. I have written Congressmen D-Priest, Joseph A, Gavagain, L. J. Dyer, Hamilton Fish, Jr., and Mrs. Ruth B.

But her kind and gentle nature Is what makes me love her so. Who would take the place of mother, As she struggles in life Who would could bear our troubles In a world that's full of strife? Who would six beside us As we tos about in pain? Tis the one that we all love so; There's no need to call her name. I am far from home and mother, Cast adrift upon the Sea Of life that bears you hither Away from home and family. But no matter where I wander, We no matter where I may engage For my mother's waiting For me to come back home. TO T. J. R. FAULKNER (Composed by Junday August 18, 1928) With poor man's heart, though rich he is, With poor man's heart, though rich he is, With poor man's heart, though rich he is, How oft hews best expressing his Desires and wishes to life supplant the wishes of his life, And nourish in a fertile plane. K. M. Says: "Hats off to Dr. Powell. The consecrated and devoted portion of the ministry — the silent majority — should uphold his hands. Let no guilty man escape." CORRUPTION IN THE NEGRO PULPIT This untoward state of things has gone so far that the average layman is unable to perform the spect for the ministry, as a whole. To put this assertion to test, let the reader summon that the minister may carefully meet with, and submit the question of the integrity and probity of the Negro clergy. The verdict will be that the minister, graft, sexual laxity and abuse of power constitute the gravamen of the charge. The Majority Are Blameless. The haste and rush wilt, which the ranks of the Negro ministry had to be recruited entailled many peril and men from the peasant and servile pursuits of life and thrust them into the hands of the powerful and authority without bringing forward much of the character of their previous environment. No miracle body of men from grossness to purity, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. Much of this grossness we have been able to repress and repressing generation gone by. But that time has passed. The educational and moral life of the race has rapidly increased progress in the life and impact of our moral and spiritual leaders. The Negro Church At Parting of Ways. Respects His Vows. The true priest of God takes on the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. But to witness our high eagerness to serve God, we wealth wrested from God's poor, dominine in the exercise of irresponsible power and labelled with charges of lightness too many of our high priests disregard their sacredoid vows. The church cannot be built up in this wise. The people are saddled with a heavy burden of debt which they cannot liquidate for a generation in order to gratify the concept and the reality of their suffering. Several Negro churches stagger under an annual budget of as much as fifty thousand dollars, four thousand dollars, and twenty dollars wrested from waiters, cooks and washhermen. The laymen are already in a state of revolt. The backs of the poor, impoverished members of the staggering load of church debt. Hats off to Dr. Powell. The con- strictly the silent majority—should uphold his hands Let no guilty man escape. Drive them into open dis- sidence. Give them the catortonate money changers from the temple. Then, and not until then, will the church regain the power to act as the controlling influence in the life of the race. Then, and not until then, will intelligent high-minded men be placed in their rightful place in the moral and spiritual leadership of the masses. English Chips from the Quarry Thought Provoking.

The Radio Cracker From Kansas City Call Henderson, exhibiting none of the breeding and chivalry which is supposed to exist in the South, replied to the telegraph as follows: "Well, well, here is a Georgia cracker' entertaining some niggers and he doesn't' want me to call them niggers. What do you know about that? How do we ever over in Georgia? Over here in Louisville we call niggers and I've heard 'em called niggers in Georgia too." The Proofreader Talks. In fact, walking north from this office on what we can call Hamilton Terrace, with no apparent change in the character of the thoroughfare. We are on Eutaw Place, and so on. And, a stranger, unless he looked at the names on the signs, we were intersecting thoroughfares were known as streets, or avenues, places, terraces, roads boulevards, squares, alleys or what one of our main streets is Falls Way. The same reasoning applies to the words for example, for example, a given amusement place might have for the last word in the name, indifferently in the name, indifferently in the name, or something else, or none of these supposedly descriptive terms; as, "The Hippodrome" and in Wash-ter, "The Moulin Rouge" (The Red Mill). Then we have the Emerson Hotel, and in Emerson, even all churches, as we designate Christian houses of worship generally, are not so named. In the Friends, Meeting House. And furthermore, practically every name—whether given name or sur- nage, a title, an adjective, or was derived from one, in our language or some other. Smith is still a common noun in English, in which it is used as an adjective. In the case of Jones and a few other names, the origin is obsure—but its source almost certainly is some "common" word with a name. The most common of our ordinary "Christian" names—Peter, James, John, and others—were common names in ancient Hebrew, and have put them to make them names. So, to sum up—every word that helps to make up the designation of a place, a name, whether at the beginning or in the middle (excepting only the minor prepositions and articles, if any) should be capitalized. And that's the AFO system. F. H. M. M. Dirt. * The short-skirted preacher's wife who honk-honks with her.

With our modern whisk and naste; our struggle to keep with ever rising standards in Christianity, there is not much time to festivities, but about the Man whom it is all about, but we forget as we listen to the Man whom it is all about, the Music and the vested choir, WAS one a Man born in Nazareth who was called Jesus Christ who was for us, who doctine of human relations and who doctine He clashed with the selfish mongers and an! selfish interests of Him was condemned to death on a cross at Golgotha. The Things We Do in His Name During the 1932 years since his birth in 3 B.C. there are certain principles towards the philosophy He prepulged. The fall of Rome with her galley sails and the French Revolution, which started the tyranny of King down the lobogan; the forth the new, new world doctrine that "taxtation without representation is wrong"; the abolition of slavery; the new government, wherein is laid down the dictum that those who do not shall not rule those who do work. These things do not sound much like the milk-and-water religion, but they are the foundation principles of the doctrines of the Meek and Lowly we will celebrate Christmas Day. EVEN IF CHRIST SHOULD COME TO THIS WORLD, TODAY I WILL BE SUPPLIED OF CHRISTIANITY, THE MEN AND WOMEN LOUDEST IN CELERATING HIS BIRTH WOULD BE A SUCCESSFUL PRISON FOR HIS COMMUNIST AND BLOSESTIVER DOCTRINES. If you do not believe this, try telling them to be a bubble forum. Try telling all rich men to sell their wealth and give it back to poor working men; try together to thank them for limit their world possessions to one coat; try inducing modern Pharisees and Publicans to sup together to christen them and in jail or the insane asylum—or at least have the soap-box kicked from under you, for you could not get it. Yet as long as we are making progress towards the economic and religious doctrines of Christ, then we are happily, celebration and hope. While the custom of taking the product of the working man's toll from the church is a charity basket for Christmas, a perversion of the spirit of Christ, it is still one of the ways of saving human misery, and it will add to the joy of Christmas. If we give something to the poor this Christmas. Especially should we do something that they can be really happy. The redeeming feature of the modern Christmas is what it brings to children. Perhaps it is worth all the money which will be spent this year. The Pageant and Future Baltimore. One of the most significant and constructive criticisms of the pageant which was presented in the 1980s is the general comment heard on all sides that some of its sets and dances did not follow Negroid lines. The movement to create here an avenue of artistic racial expression will improve this criticism, and no doubt will encourage the whole thing, from end to end, in four weeks, using such dances and sets as had been developed in the public schools of the country, that an appreciable number of the group here have caught the spirit of the thing as expressed in their criticism. Despite, however, its artistic shortcomings, the pageant was pops the most far-reaching achievement of the year in which it was presented, in which more than a thousand people acted, danced and sang together, but it has set in motion a sense of mutuality feeling which we will come to understand. A thousand people acting, dancing and singing together to express their souls and exemplify their ideas and put their ideas into action. They can also set on fire and in motion the seed of other thousands. We annually call it, or whatever we choose to call it, should be a fixture here, and it should include every strata—every influence and institution which make up Dixie Sanctified Churches Crowded for Holy Dances Young People Especially Among Audience in Churches of North Carolina Sect. Bn FAITH WOODSON WHITEVILLE N. C.—Even though man has all the academic degrees that can be acquired by any one person, and though he has traveled everywhere that human foot has traversed, unless he has been to services at a "Holy Sanctified Church," he is yet ignorant. Authors both white and black are writing pages about African dances and the ritual of pagan religions, but they have nothing on the holy group. In place of the African tom toms, they have bass drums and tambourines; and what noise they cannot take with these instruments they take with their hands and feet to accompany of the weirdest weirdest meanings.

Gilmor 6332 *drum suspended by a string around her neck, is nothing to her.* **CHARLESTON AND BUCK.** This "holy" dance that now is at its height is a combination of the charleston and a good old buck clapping, the hard chopping similar to the conventional claps one hears in the numerous meetings which our people like to indulge in. The drum that one of the old sisters cares so that they can scarcely move, the preacher by merely raising his hand gives the signal for the wild prancing to end. That one of the old sisters raises a hymn, usually common meter. This gives the band time to rest, for the next hymn is sure to be one to which they can again hit the jig. **HDIN' PLACE.** Among others of their favorite hymns are— "I got a hidin' place, Oh, Lawdy, Lawd, I got a hidin' place." They sing this through twice with much shouting and meaning and then follow with the verse— If you git to Heaven like anyone else, you are neighbor you treat Jess treat to neighbor like you treat yourself." UP THE SHININ WAY. Probably one of the most popular pieces, and one to which the school children "Holy Dance" at recess, is: "Up the shinin' way;" "Up the shinin' way;" "I goin' up the shinin' way." I got Heaven in my view an' glory in my soul "I goin' up the shinin' way." The "holy" churches here are the only ones that Twe even seen crowded so that no one else could get in the door. Everyone goes. It is not for religious benefits they hope to get, but to see the church. Of course that isn't the usual idea of the way to worship, but there is something in the music—a close kin to jazz. Probably that is what draws the young people there.

PHILLY PEN POINTS By "PEGG" When you can't make good at what you're doing--you're selling the wrong goods. (Also on the shoulder for a discerning mind?) We were supposed to have charge of an Antique Corner at the recent colorful party at the League Club, and we were League at 131 S. Twelfth street, an affair which was marked its second anniversary. We were presenting two days' display of the handcuffs of guttural presidents presenting almost every nationality. It had all the touch of the orient, and near-east bargaining. And it was such fun to dress in the dresses, and wore the wares that each had to offer. But here's the difficult! We sold not a lot. One prospect came up to us, and after greeting us with a very happy, hand smile, stood appraising our antique kitchen chandelier, a pair of brass candles candles (11)-later reduced to $14; a huge old black and gold chandelier, a pair of brass candles. Then: "I'm sure you would be intrusted in some of these quaint bits." A chandelier, a pair of brass candles. It just makes me feel perfectly miserable to think of all the stuff I throw away from time to time.

R. Wilson, sing a program of spirituals. The concert was sponsored by local newspaper, presented the choir from Houston, Waco and Fort Worth. The doors of the coliseum were not opened until 6:45 o'clock, but long before that, the choir assembled, and street cars were jammed and parking space at a premium. Thousands Turned Away About 6 o'clock the rain poured in torrents, but it failed to daunt the great music. It was the great musical treat. At 1 o'clock it was necessary to close the gates of the coliseum and from then on the late-comers hammered violably. Gosernor There Governor Dan Moody, and a party of 25 occupied a specially reserved box, and shortly after they were seated, the program began. The present man, wearing white and black, ran in dark clothes. Local papers ran the following comment: Perfect Blending "Many of those men who formed a sombre background high up on the tiers of seats that riled the stage, had put off their and there they stood, and said together as if they had no other business in the world but the perfection of blending voices. Singers moaned in minors. They roared in bass. They trolled the high seas, the southern seaways gently to the terrific sweetness of such songs as 'Balm of Gilead' and when the rattling lilt of 'Get on Board, Little Chillums,' or of 'Dixie,' swing out over the crowd, a face of excitement, a face of feet, stretched into the open space for comfort, patting time, time, time, while scores of heads bobbed, bobbed to the music. "Old Black Joe" "The singers put on one very effective 'stunt.' About half way through the program, the band on stage, the singers, the lights, started back and forth and humming "Ol Black: Joe." It was a beautiful hum, and worth a whole lot more than the usual faraway voice, joining them, "I'm coming--." And by and by, while the high-banked chorus still swayed and hummed. Old Black Joe came, trembling on a rickety cane. He came down the steps under a spotlight and walked into the audience. The lights went out on the stage. The band sang, and spotlight around the west side of the Coliseum floor and to the central entrance, while they sang his swan song. The band sang Negro. It took the audience by storm. "Singing in the Rain" In addition to singing by the choir, the individual organizations gave several numbers, the Fort Worth Opera, the Rain" a popular tune, peculiarly appropriate in view of the inclement weather. The Coleridge-Taylor Clu- son of Houston, led by Dr. C. B. John- son, was at its best in "The Gospel Train." The George S. Conner Choral Club of this city sang "O. My Good Lord, Show Me The Way." B.

Concords and Discords By MAURICE ROCHAMBEAU INSTALLMENT III For Josephine Baker, new to the theatre, unsophisticated in the ways of the world, and throbbing with the wild desire to youth, the next few weeks she would career in the part of her hands. One evening, after carefully watching her performance in Brooklyn, a Broadway producer came back stage. He asked her to call on him. Josephine would beyond words: Here was her chance. Producer Makes Offer The following day, Josephine kept the appointment. The sight of her name in lights in Brooklyn still shone, and she was stepping to step now into lights on Broadway? The thought overwhelmed her and played tricks with her speech. When at last she was ushered into the room, she was greeted by only gulp. Her voice had left her. She heard the producer offer her a featured role in his forthcoming revue ... she heard him offer her what she had been told and told her to her was Klondike! Becomes Ill Josephine left the office, her heart singing with the joy of success. She felt a little dizzy, but she attributed that to the warmth of the through. But when she reached her home, she realized that she had caught cold. . . Bubbling with life, yet caged in an apartment with mother, she laughed off the gripe. Weeks had now passed since she (Don't fail to read next week's account of how Josephine Baker became the worshipped and beloved Siren of Paris!) IN D. C.

Testimonial for Organist. Huber Visits Symphony Orchestra. Bv W. LLEWELLYN WILSON The large number of music lovers who attended the musical recital given at Grace Presbyterian Church last Sunday afternoon were given an excellent opportunity to be a designated program of high grade music. The pastor, the Rev. John Colbert, the choir, and the congregation of the church are to be commended for making the musical treat possible. The participants. G. Davidson, G. Davidson, Woodo, Abi Jackson, all of whom are teachers in our local public schools. The first four named are specifically engaged in teaching public school music. Mr. Jackson is a teacher of history in the Junior High School. He is presented, was in itself sufficient testimony that the participants are serious and well schooled musicians. Miss Dennis and Miss Fulton appeared in the dual roles of solosist and accompanists and in each capacity they proved to be adequate and at the same time satisfying. Miss Felton's colorful interpretation of "Caprice Burlesque," by Ossip Gabillowitch, was quite enthusiastically received and deservedly so. Miss Gabbillowitch was a member of the Reconstructionist's well-known "Prelude in C sharp Minor," which was quite pleasing. Both of these piano numbers are from the literature of the modern Russian school. Miss Dukey Woode gave two dainty pieces, which were quite appealing. "Eve's Song," by Martin an English organist, and "MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose." These two numbers are quite simple, but require judicious use in the piano setting as once revealed real musicianship and knowledge of the tonal color schemes and how to use them in organ playing. Miss Abia Jackson was really charming in her readings of the violin numbers, "Canonetta," by A. B. Franz, and "No 2. By Franz Chopin, both for violin. Miss Jackson" intonation was good and her tone remarkably pure and powerful. The tone revealed her knowledge of the use of the bow. Her double stopping was accurate, a virtue often sadly lacking in many violists. Mr. Jackson supplied the vocal portion of the program. Mr. Jackson's shining showed him to be a singer with a great depth of emotion and unbeatenness of tonal quality was noticeable and there was some deviation from the pitch, but his singing was earnest and intelligent. Continued vocal study will do much for Mr. Jackson; for he has a voice of real beauty and charisma. The choir, under the direction of Mrs. M. H. Brown, sang several numbers. The musical was quite a credit to the pastor, the congregation was able and to the public school teachers who were willing to make the sacrifice necessary to present the highly artistic program. Testimonial for Organ. Edward Milton Peck, Sr., the balthus organist for the congregation for seven years, the congregate at Sharp Street Memorial Church, was recently tendered a testimonial recital at the church. Hundreds of his friends were present to greet him on the occasion. Splendid tributes were paid him by the surviving clergymen throughout who's terms of admini- tations he has served. Musical num- bers given by the choir of the church. Two outstanding features of the musical program were the numbers by Mr. Philip Jones, and Mrs. Mitchler. The numbers by Mr. Starp Street choir for over fifty years; and the tine solos played by Dr. Thaddeus Savassa Peck, the brother of the organist. So skillfully insisted upon his hearers insisted upon an encore. The whole affair was a splendid tribute to a deserving musician who has long served the community in which he lives. Symphony Is Growing. The newly organized symphony orchestra numbers and is making some progress. At the last rehearsal, Frederick R. Huber, municipal director of music in Baltimore, accompanied Gustav Holst. He joined the all-male Symphony, to the stage and introduced him to the orchestra. Mr. Strube express himself as being agreeably surprised at the progress of his orchestra. He has arranged to have the entire orchestra attend the final rehearsal of Baltimore Symphony to its concerto. He has heard the hearsal Ernest Hutchison, one of the world's great pianists, will play the great "Emperor Congo", by Beethoven. Indeed will be a rare opportunity for the players in our orchestra. To watch Mr. S.rube conduct an orchestra is a lesson within itself. He will be gained from hearing a great master play a great masterpiece. Syracuse "U" Pianist in Carolina Recital GREENSBORO, N.C.—A large and appreciative audience welcomed Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell back to his home town, when he played at A. and T. College on last Thursday evening. Mr. Caldwell is a graduate of the Conservatory of Music of Syracuse University. Among the numbers were "Fantasia" from Bach, a group from Beethoven (encored), "Concert Eude," McDoe (encored), "The Concert," and others who also encored. The artists performance of "Claire Delune" (By Moonlight) by the modernistic composer Debusy, was particularly effusive. The music of Calwell played as an encore, his own arrangement of "Give Me Dad Old Time Religion." by request.

Lawrence Brown, was an exceptional accompanist, helped in some part songs, and is a very important collector of Negro music. Justin Sandridge groups of piano music and proved again, as during his recent recital, that he is a musician of real sincerity. Robeson, Hayes, in Detroit DETROIT. — Perhaps the out- standing features for the week were the recitals given by Roland Robeson, the conductor in the church Hall. With but little in the way of announcements both artists played to capacity, however, the way of ap- reciation to be shown by their audien- ce. With unaffected naturalness the slender Mr. Hayes and the slightly slender Mr. Robeson their hearses until they applauded several numbers onto the programs already generous in size, and left us all feeling a closer in spirit.

Stopping the show this week have been a number of specialties, the leading ones being the singing and dancing of Bert and Alice, the spotted stumming of the Uncle, the ornail hoofing of Pops and Joey, juvenile dancers, and the singing of Lena Curia, prima donna. Pops and Joey tied the show in knots with their solo and duo stepping, the youngsters peering into the room, and many seasoned performers would be glad to be able to execute. Bert and Alice, in dazzling new costumes, introduced some new characters, which helped delight of the customers. The Ukulele Boys stroked down some weird moanings on their knees, calling forth a shower of applause. Miss Curry, who has a sweet soprano voice, and a charming stage personality, sang "Ming the Rose," and "Ming the Song," the tunes hitful. I Can't Get Along Without You." A telegraph office bit. with Cutout and Leonard in the principal roles. was pompous and energetic dancing by the chorus rounded out the entertainment.

The Gipim Players scored a success in their rendition of "The Drunken Lord," in the Karamu Theatre, that players are bringing to the people in Cleveland the inherent light,onic nature of the race which long be dormant. The stage—barren almost—gives little aid or inspiration to the players; backdrops simple, tooling mere candles of dripping, dripping, dripping.

Pollard, and the presentation of th Hoskins Dancing Studio. annual presentation, the pageant probably held the wider interest because of its numerous connections, but the Hoskins production more than beckoned the Pollard presentation because of the more finished work of the Hoskins performers. So that if you saw either, you had an evening of real entertainment. Mr. Hoskins is to be especially commended on the type of work he is opening. His program gave its share of popular steps including the basketry, eccentric tapping, toe and aesthetic dancing, but of outstanding talent was his "Adagio," performed by Clarence Carter and Miss Loretta Palace. The Adagio is to be attended by operists, since the smallest slip on the part of either performer possibly serious injury to the other, and yet these youngsters, who have their first lesson less than four months ago, gave an exhibition of confidence and beauty of movement that would be a credit to contestants. There was of course, some awkwardness in a few of their gestures, as is to be expected under such limited training, but even with that, it was a highly commendable performance. May I say in passing, that the entire Hoskins cast was beautifully costumed. LITTLE THEATRE GROUP. The recently organized Little Theatre group made its initial appearance Friday evening in the speaking roles of "Takazee," pageant of Near history, under the direction, as I mentioned before, of John M. Pollard, who is the director of the National Recreation Association. a representative of our work. From the merit of its initial performance, we may look forward to some worth while entertainment from this group. The work of Houston Jackson and Miss Constantia Wharton was of especial merit; while Miss Wharton's voice is somewhat lacking in volume, her stage presence and dancing were excellent. But for a rounded performance, Mr. Jackson was easily the dominating figure of the pageant. Members of the group also supervised the costuming. Unlike a number of our Little Theatre movements, which are in reality only social clubs, this group has gotten down to real business, not only in the matter of work on plays to be presented but on the securing of a theatre for permanent use. Their participation in last week's pageant, I understand, is to aid in the latter project. And back to the pageant—there were some beautiful spots in this presentation: Miss Vernice Downing's group of tots in retained poses was a dream; as was the Normal School "Plastiques." And "The Smelting of Iron" was as artistically portrayed that it held the audience spellbound with its movement and plastic definience. "Selfu," played by Limored Koger, was just too shilvy for words. I kept thinking every minute that he was going to get loose and do a little of his strangling; and there. MUSIC AND DANCING FEATURE PAGEANT 1,90 Take Part in "Golden Racial" Hours at Douglass High School. CHILDREN APPLAUDED Jackson. Koger, and Miss Wharton Outstanding. "Golden Racial Hours," a pageant of racial history, with a cast of 1,200, was presented last Friday night in the auditorium of the Douglass High School, before and audience which packed the balcony, but which did not fill the lower floor. The pageant was impressive and well-received, although as a pageant of Negro history it left a number of things to be desired. Heralded as a story of an abysmian king, the crane, written by John M. Pollard, of the Playground America, and S. Randolph Edmunds, of Morgan College, and produced under the auspices of the bi-racial committee of the Playground Athletic League, the Sharp Street Community House, the Little Theatre group and other organizations, revealed a high calibre of talent in the work of several of the principals. Before the court of King Menelek his queen (played by Gough Menelek and Vasit Maxwell), came que Nassen, King Maxwell, played by Houser Jackson. As he related his stories, the various pageant "acts" were presented before the king. While Koer is Dramatic The no. 2 of Kassas afforded no great opportunity for dramatic acting, it was a difficult one, with many lines to be memorized, and Mr. Jackson's portrayal of the part was excellent. Perhaps the only member in the cast presented with a real opportunity for dramatic acting, Linwood Koer, who was black, passionated, impassioned appeal for freedom, the acting having the genuineness of a professional actor. In consideration of the short time in which the naked man to be rehearsed (hardly three weeks) the work of all of the various martial positions was little short of remarkable. Tots Please Much applause greeted the acting of a group of school children from P.S. No. 112, George B. Murphy, principal, who under the direction of Miss Downing, executed a series of Miss Downing art classes, ranging in ages from 6 to 8, won a warm heart of the hearts of the spectators by their unaffected and sincere acting. Ida Murphy, in a Tambourine Dance, and a group of six girls in a Charlot Dance, all at the School 130, stood to the excellence of their movements, and the precision of their movements.

LI'L ESTHER GUEST OF SPANISH KING LI'L ESTHER GUEST OF SPANISH KING Ten-Year-Old Girl Dancer Also at Fete Honoring King Of Portugal. EARNS $750 WEEKLY Foreign Language Press Lavish in Praise MADRID, Spain—Little Esther, the ten-year-old colored child, who has been astonishing Europe by her marvelous mimecy and dancing, was the principal attraction at a fete given by the King of Spain at the Teatro de la Exposición, in honor of the president of Portugal. Queen Victoria and other members of the royal family of Spain were present, later, the King and Queen received little Esther, together with her mother, Mrs. Jones, and her manager, Sidney Garner, and complimented her. Makes $750 per Week Five years ago little Esther was dancing the Charleston on the streets of Chicago, just for fun. Today she the world’s first paid child artist in the $750 club. After leaving Berlin, where she was the hit of the Wintergarten for six weeks, she left for the Riviera, playing at Monte Carlo, and Cannes. From there she went to the Casino Bellevue at Blairitz, where she played with Sam Wooding and his band, and she appeared at a parade given by the Marathon Hall Krukhahala, and was later highly complimented by him. Favorite with Children Leaving for Spain, she played with Harry Fleming and his band at the Valenciennes Theatre where she scored another great hit. While in this city she school children of Valenciennes preschoolers of flowers more than six feet tall. Little Esther has been a great favorite with the children everywhere, and when she was leaving Stockholm, Sweden, the school children thousands came to see her off, almost killing her compartment with flowers. Newspapers Praise Her The French, German, English and Spanish press have been lavish in praise of her. Juan de Montaberry, the most famous of the French in El Mercantil of Valencia, recently devoted almost two columns to an interview with her, together with her picture, which appeared on the front page. He told of her visit to the bullfight the mannein in which the youthful her was applauded by the public. He said in part: "She is not one of those children with some forced quality or talent for imitating older people, but a very formidable, comical artist, with unusual gifts. And in her life off the stage she is ingenuous and full of love and sympathy. Her steady manner of speaking, her interesting chatter, her large eyes, full of expressive force, shows a brain well organized. Likes Bull Fights "I asked her how she liked Spain. She told me among other things that she is interested in bull-fights. She was at the bull-fight, wearing like the other senoritas a small Spanish shawl. She says that she has a great sense of humor (the tordered) whom she thinks is the bravest man in the world. Worries about Fat "I had been talking with her for more than an hour but it was at that moment I saw in little Esther the eternal feminine. Though she is only ten, the woman in her is on the alert. She has more than fifty dresses and is frightened because she has gained a few pounds or a few grains of weight. El Tiempo said: "Little Esther sings with much grace and talent, adding now and then some comic gestures that are worthy of being flashed on the screen. "The public laughs, everybody laughs, and so does the small artist, to whom all surrender themselves unconditionally. Now she dances, her rhythm is the same, the number. She has finished and the theatre is ringing again with applause. "Little Esther has triumphed, and with her, the whole company has triumphed. She has finished her acting and she returns to her dressing room. Again she is the child, and pulls the tail of a small white dog to the floor of the leader of the orchestra. The dog does not bark. It turns its sleepy eyes to the small artist as if, it also, was smiling in sympathy."

Magician's Boyhood Curiosity Led to Career. Borrowed $5 from Mother's Pillow for First Lesson. When a 15-year-old boy makes up his mind to do a thing he usually firks a way to do it. At least that's the way Hinton the Great, magician, who appeared in a demonstration before members of the AFRO Club last Saturday, feels man who had seen it performed, and replaced the five dollars in his mother's pillow before she missed the money. Passion brought when he taught the trick to the man, Hinton had no coin with which to perform the trick, using instead a piece of bark. Born in N. Carolina Born Christian William E. Hinton, 37 years ago in Elizabeth City, N.C., the youngster found himself moved with his family to Norfolk, Va., when he was about six years old. As a child, strange things fascinated him, and he was continually seeking an explanation for the things he could not understand. North Carolina to attend school, young Hinton "quituated" from the Elizabeth City high school when he was about 13 years old, and came back to Norfolk to seek his fortune. Sees Hinerant Magician It was here two years later that the walk, walked down the street one day, a man performing a hidden on trick. Always fascinated by the unusual, young Hinton stopped to watch, and remained after the crowd that had been watching the street performer, had left. "Mister," he asked, "how much will you chieve to teach me how to do that trick." Price collars," was the itinerant's cutt Visions of five dollars loomed before the anxious youth's eyes. Five dollars! It seemed like five million for not one penny! In his ragged jeans. Suddenly there came a mister, and I'll be right back," and breaking into a dog trot, he dispeared quickly down the street. "Borrowed" Five Dollars Young Hinton knew his home mother had money in middled pillow. He "borrowed" five dollars and hastened to the spot where his teacher-to-be was waitable. The two went down across and here he received his first lesson in black art. So he waited he, that he learned the trick immediately, and the next day "sold" it for five dollars to 10. "Chocolates" Closing Run on Broadway Musical Revue May Take to Road after Brief Rest. NEW YORK. — (ANP.)—After a healthy stay on Broadway, "Hot Chocolates," that sensational colored revue, enters its final week. Notices were posted on Saturday in the theatre and the performers who have made it by now, have to hustle to get their Christmas funds together. Until the advent of "Hot Chocolates," Lew Leslie's "Black-birds" held sway on the Great White Way, but the newer show seemed to take some of the pep of the older rival and increased the momentum of the show. Whether the company will go on the road is an all-folded point, but it is probable that after a short rest, the manager will take the troupe out to the bigger cities for the natives to have a look at what Broadway stamped one of the finest colored revues of the day. RECORD FOUR NUMBERS NEW YORK — The Virginia Four formerly the Great Day Four, a quartet composed of Messrs. Grav, Jackson, McMee and Ray, have recorded four spirituals for the Victor Recording Company, the numbers to be released December 16. to appease on the stage and in the films.

Peculiarly enough, when he taught the trick to the man, Hinton had no coin with which to perform the trick, using instead a piece of bark. Made $15 First Night After several years of practice as an amateur, during which he wrote to various mall-order houses for new tricks and equipment, Hinton started out as a full-fledged magician. He gave his first professional performance in 1962, earning $15. Since that time he has traveled through the southern states, showing in schools, churches and halls. The largest single crowd to witness one of his performances, he believes, was the crowd of 15,000 at Hopewell, Va. eight years ago, when he was a child and shackled in a canvas bag into the James River, escaping and leaving his shackles in the bag. Played at Carlin's During the past summer, the magician, who now lives at 1201 McCloh street, appeared at Carlin Park, where thousands of people saw him perform his impressions. Asked if there were any such thing as superhuman power in connection with magic, Mr. Hinton said: "The cardinal principle of magic is that the mind of the ooker is led astray temporarily, and during that short interval, he can learn to do many tricks which will delude merely through a little practice. A 'sucker' in an audience (one who is continually wise-cracking) is an essential part of a performance, for you can always pull a fast one and get the rest of the people to launch." While at the AFRO Club, the magician performed a number of tricks, perhaps the best being several coin and card tricks and the restoration of a torn newspaper.

INTER-MARRIAGE O.K.'D Party Members are Thrust out When they Show Prejudice. The Baltimore Inter-racial Workers' Forum was addressed Sunday night at the Pride of Baltimore Ells' Hall by Domenick Fliani, organizer of the communist party, on the subject "Chauvinism." Mr. Fliani said that Chauvinism is a dangerous menace of race prejudice and is of capitalistic ideology; it penetrates into the ranks of the working class. "The American Federation of Labor helps the capitalists in discriminating against the Negro workers by barring them from the unions, and openly fighting against their interests. The Federation is at the service of Wall Street," continued the speaker: Mr. Flaiani called the attention of the audience to the principles of the Communist party, as being the only one openly, frankly and sincerely fighting for the interest of all workers regardless of color. Approves Intermarriage During the open discussion, a person asked the speaker whether or not the Communist party approved intermarriage. Mr. Flaiani replied emphatically, "When I say that the Communist party is for complete equality, that is what we meant. We approve intermarriages. "In our 1928 party platform we had a plank advocating a fight against the law which prohibits intermarriage," he declared. It was also said by the speaker that when a member of the party demonstrators prejudice against the Negro in the immediate thrust out of its ranks, DEATH RATE IS ON DECLINE THIS WEEK Mortality Is Yet 7 Per Cent Higher than that of Whites. A slight decline in deaths as a result of communicable disease was reported by Health Department officials in their weekly mortality statement, this week.

The death rate per 1,000 persons is seven per cent, higher than that of the whites despite the decline. Although the deaths are lower the birth rate is higher, records show that 214 babies were born here the past week, 19 of whom died shortly after birth. In deaths from cancers six persons more than last year for the corresponding week were reported last year, the death rate while cerebral hemorrhage is said to have been responsible for twenty-three deaths.

"Teeny" Brown, a manipulator extraordinary, was sent into the fracas on the tap-on. the diminutive forward made a freak shot from under his basket with four opponents attempting to corner him. With good dribbling and floor work his teammates were able to gain or more points during the remainder of the game. The game started off fast with both teams snarring for advantages. It was not until four minutes after the initial whistle that Whittington, center for the locals, was able to drop a ringer from side court as the teetering Locals Take Lead Thomas and Sheffy each were successful in getting shots from the fifteen-foot line for a score of 10. Burnett, who coached, sank for Burnett, who coached, for the first score for the Commanders.

Opening the second stanza Wyatt and Jackson each dropped free throws to boost their score to fifteen while cord splitters by Troy Turner and a foul tally by Bryt tied the score. "Teeny Brown" was then sent in and broke the ice. Cuttie Brown got a free throw. Shortly after, Brown was fouled by Gorgas while attempting a goal which proved successful. Referee Ick Shields ruled out the guard two shots, both of which he sank. It was this double scoring with forty seconds to play that decided the game, then, and only then, was the game a sure The Athenian outfit functioned well with Whittington, Sheffy and Wyatt leading the offensive, while played by a good defensive, R, Gorgas, Troy Burnett, Edwards and Morton played well for the visitors.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 14, 1929 GUS MOORE RETAINS CROSS-COUNTRY TITLE University of Pittsburgh Harrier Wins Race Over Muddy Course. IS SECOND TRIUMPH Leads Nearest Rival by 300 Yards at Finish. NEW YORK - Gus Moore, University of Pittsburgh star, splashed over the field and retained his Nidolson A.A.U. senior cross-country title won last year, in the time of 31 minutes and ten seconds, defeating a brilliant field, here. Moore just last week won the Berwick. Pa. marathon over a course on which the street was in some places. This race was run over the Van Cortland Park course, and at the finish Moore led his nearest rival, Eimo Hekkila, of the Dorchester Club, Dorchester, Mass., Not With Any Team The Dochester Club, however, won the team trophy, placing other runners third, fifth, tenth and eighteenth respectively. Moore's victory did not count in the team scoring, as he was the only Pittsburgh runner. The Pittsburgh harrier had an easy time winning, leading the pack from the barrier and setting the pace from the start to finish. The harrier, hampered the runner, and while he held a lead, he did not pull away until the drier part of the six-mile jog. At the half-way mark Moore led by nearly a quarter mile, being trailed by the runners who trailed him at the finish. Moore's tim: of 31.10, while not a record, was fas for the muddy course. Last year, under better conditions, but over a slightly harder route, he won by an even wider margin, in the first round, while a winner of five championships in the years prior to 1928, was missing from the list of competitors. Chocolate to Meet Petrone in Benefit Cuban Keed in Feature Bout on Christmas Fund Card Bu Frank Byrd NEW YORK—The Fifth Avenue Boys' Association, of which Mayor Jimmy Walker is a member, will stage one of the biggest boxing shows that New York has seen. when Kid Chocolate tops the program as a ten-rounder against the B. A. on December 18. These boys are doing their bit for sweet charity's sake by donning mits to raise enough cash to fill the many empty Christmas baskets and sockings around Harlem. The mits are appointed as matchmaker, is insuring a big attendance by creating an unprecedented range of prices from $1 to $7. The other boys who will donate their services and support for the distance of ten rounds are: * Rene DeVos vs. Babe McCormy; Young Zazzarino vs. Jose Martinez, and Jack (Kid) Berg vs. Tony Caragliano.

Hear Me Talkin' To Ya BY BILL GIBSON Hear Me Talkin' To Ya BY BILL GIBSON THE PUBLIC PRINTS, at least those in New York, have devoted a bit of space, here on date, to Elegio Sardinia, whom you probably anything. All of the talk, it appears, centers around an attempt of certain unsurprising white managers to wean the Guan Kid away from his manager, Luis Gutierrez. These convivors tell Chocolate that he is being improperly managed, and that he is taking a chance on ruining his reputation by fighting in the small clubs where some ham boy with a lucky punch may get a decision over him. box. They also make a personal attack on Senor Gutiérrez and hint that he may not be making an equitable division of the spoils gained from the Candy Keed's ring conquests. The fact that speaks but very little English does not seem to chisel one iota, as they have been reported as working through close friends of Chocolate, who speak his language, to convey their impressions to趴 When he got the full drift of what was going on, Chocolate is reported as saying: "I have no intention of quitting the fight game, and I do not intend to hang my gloves for a long time. As long as Viceroy and I remain in the game, he will be my manager." Chocolate's emphatic denial that he is to quit the ring, comes after reports that after another fight or two he would quit the fight game and return to his native land where he could sweeten the testeat in Cuba. "The Keenest man for the Yuletide hollow," she wrote, "looks alive. Love affair." Chocolate points to his record of 158 wins in a row and to his pile of practically $200,000, money. He asks, "What would he ask, would have done as well by him as his friend Lulu? The Keeed realizes that much of his present success is due to the clever management of Gutierrez, and he says so." in the past. This columna feels that Chocolate is perfectly right in his refusal to be weaned away from the man who has been such a big success in his success. But in the past he did not give the free have him under their wings, and that grain is this: Association with a group of pugilistic men is certainly not going to be successful old old saw that "association of pugilistic" is true. Further, Chocolate does run the risk of becoming injured by foul blows or from being defeated by some unknown, and while this will not kill him, it seems to be a great gift in his future pursues. to make it happen. I may be wrong in this, but it is my opinion that Chocolate should fight less, and that he should begin now to take on opponents of more class. He at least should challenge them, and then if they refuse, we'll have something else to write about. I HAVE IT STRAIGHT that Morgan College will make an application to be taken in as a member of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, when that body meets in Durham, N.C. this Friday and Saturday — not cause your heart to palpate, but it will bring joy to a number of folks. If Morgan enters the C.I.A.A. (and it is most likely that application will be received favorably) that the Bears will be allowed to play eligibility rules, and that the school will get much more favorable publicity than ever before and will be able to secure competent officials for all games. Difficulty in obtaining such officials has been chronic at the local institution, but in the C.I.A.A. this worry should be avoided. For a number of years the Methodists have wanted to affiliate with the association, but one thing or another has come up to prevent their doing so. Now, at last the road seems clear to a realization of Morgan's hopes and this writer hopes that the locals will accept it. For a number of years, Morgan has been meeting C.I.A.A. teams. This year the Bears' football team met Va. State. Va. Union, Lincoln, Howard and St. Paul, more association teams met Va. State. Va. Union, Lincoln, bers here, and Morgan played the three games in the C.I.A.A. and only lost by two touchdowns to each of them. Va. State shut out the Bears, 14-0, while Union and Lincoln each defeated them by the score of 19-7. The Bears lost, 6-0, to St. Paul, a game, which but for poor general conditions believes will not be possible. Morgan played Howard scoreless on the Bison's home grounds — but the Bears didn't score either. Virginia State, ruler of the C. I. A. a this year, lost to Bluefield by a 20-0 count, and the Bears did the same thing. So from all appearances the Bears are certainly suitable material, certainly more suitable than some of the material already in association, judging from the record of some of the lecans in this season. Coach Hurtt, coming from a former C.I.A. a school, is naturally anxious for his boys to get into the association. True, the association is far from a perfect organization, but it will be important that the association will soon grow to a point where it is truly an intercollegiate body. It certainly is not that now. Whether or not Bluefield will make application for membership is problematic, as the Blues, never a member of any association, have some members of the C.I.A. a school that includes some members of the C.I.A. a. to join the Collegiate Athletic Conference which is meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, at the same time that the C.I.A. meets in the Tarneel State. At Atlanta University, Morehouse, Knoxville, and Talladega Colleges as members, saw Atlanta wiped out as the Georgia schools merged, but went through the season with four members, Talladega taking the conference gonadal. To quoition the records of the conference, as spoken through its secretary-treasurer, W. H. Kindle, of Talladega: "The need for this new conference arose as a result of the rapid growth of the Negro College toward collegiate standing. It was also considered by many of to be the solution of many lems which had been confronting the members of the SIAC with a membership composed of institutions with a very wide difference. "One of the rules of this conference is that only college men shall be used in Intercollegiate Athletic competition. Another rule is that four years shall be the limit of participation in college membership, judging from the record of some of the lecans in this season."

With this in mind, the Collegiate Athletic Conference has extended to the following institutions an invitation to be represented at the above meeting: Benedict University, Shawnee State University, Wichita State University, Morris Brown University, Tuskegee Institute, Florida A. A. & M. College, West Virginia State College, Lincoln University, Johnson C. Smith University, Clifton University, Livingstone and Lakes College, Tennessee A. A. & M. College, Virginia Union University, and Howard University. With these two conferences meeting at the same time, and with many problems to be taken up, there will be a splendid opportunity to do some real work. It is this scribler's hope to attend the C.I.A. meeting, and if I do, TI will you all about it. FIVE MILLION DOLLARS or more, is the sum that New York City plans to spend in its program to construct outdoor athletic fields for its high schools. It will seem staggering to you, comes as the result of a policy laid down down by the board of education to provide an athletic field site with every high school that is constructed. This sum does not include plans which will be presented for approval later in the year or in 1930. The average college athletic field in the United States is $50,000. Schools, that when built, did not have athletic fields, are also being provided for under the present plans of the board. Hereafter, however, when the plan is approved, there is sufficient ground, concrete stands, seating close to 5,000, and portable stands seating another 5,000 will be erected, so that the schools will be able to play their big athletic contests without looking around for other stadia. The fields will not only be used by the school teams but by the school teams (teams) who are interested in the educational education. You may probably wonder why this columba has gone to such great length to point out what is being done in New York. It is this. Here in Baltimore there is not a single high school or junior high school athletic field. "Teams are consequently forced to go to the stadiums for the athletic contest," the facilities necessary for the convenience of players or spectators. It is inconvenient for players and spectators as well to get to the athletic contest, consequently the crowds are small and athletic interest is far from what it should be. But the detrimental effect of athletics, and about the over-emphasis on sports, you cannot down the instinctive urge to participate in some form of physical exercise. Since this is true, there should be every effort to encourage wholesome competition in sports under the best available conditions. Baltimore is far from the over-emphasis on physical education of its children it can improve conditions if it will only bring these things to the attention of the school fathers. This columba, then, presents the case of New York as an example of what can be done, and now looks at word or deed from the past. The school of D.C. Washington Junior High School are all handicapped because of inadequate athletic field space. Shall this condition continue infinitely? I am asking you. DID ANYONE TELL YOU— That a number of football teams lost games this season because they abandoned it when it was failed to gain? That the C.I.A.A. had no really outstanding quarterbacks this year? That the teams in the Missouri Valley developed a high type of gridiron play this season? That certain Eastern grid officials have been blackballed, never to be used again by some schools? That the football of the Middle West and South was superior this year to that of the East? That Clarence Davis, acting head of the Physical Education Department of Howard University, tiring of single blessedness, is reported as having taken to wife the charming Miss Evelyn Jackson, of the Physical Education Department of the Dunbar High School, Washington, last week, and that the honeymoomers may be found at a cozy cottage on Bryant street, northwest, Washington? That practically the entire Black Sox team is wintering in Cuba, the locals being represtend by Babe Ruth Wilson. Warfield, Lundy, Marcell, Rap Dixon, Yokely and Eggy Clark? That had a certain football coach not had such a successful season his resignation would have been requested? That a score or more sports writers, this one included, will soon go gray trying to pick an All-American team, whatever that is? That if this hadn't been written this colyum would have been two lines shorter? GIFTS For Him FROM CARLTON AND CO. Carlton Gloves Chamois, Suede, Fur and Fur Lined Gloves for Dress or Street wear.

ROBINSON BRICKS, N.C.-Although there are other teams with better records, the Shaw Bear's 1929 championship of the North Carolina Athletic Union when that body meets next month. Smith University, Livingstone, and A. and T. College had more difficult schedules than teams it did. It was the schedule the required number of games (five) to be eligible for the championship award. As a result, it is likely that the Brick Junior College and Fayetteville with Shaw having the best claim, having war four games and lost two Many Upsets The Carolina conference was full of upsets this year, probably the greatest coming when Livingstone held the Smith Puck and Worcester held the Bears in order to elephant plenum the Shaw Bears gave the N.C. State Eagles when this was expected to be a close affair, with a half-game advantage. The strongest team in the conference is the J.C. Smith Golden Bulls, who have made a great record in and outside of the State. A. and T. Colts, who have made a great record in and did not have but one game scheduled in the State Conference. The North Carolina State team made the poorest showing of any team going through the entire season without winning a game, nor tying one. The Brick Pants had an in and out season, winning every other game. Augustine Blue Devils, who had a very weak team, the Saints came to life and defeated the State Normal boys, who had a very poor team. Kitty Terning tying Brick, defeated the Saints.

Catman, Stanfield, and Ward then shot three in rapid succession, setting the crowd in an uproar. From behind, the crowd headed and at half time the score was 14-12, in favor of Rheims Post.

GERHERT SEMBLY, M.D. Howard University, 262 SALAMANDA, Howard-Lincoln game has lost, quite a bit of real spirit. For the past two or three years there has been a quelling of spirit among Howard fans and among Lincoln fans and student, body What the real causes are. I cannot say. But it does exist, because the game was played. When the classic idea "was initiated in 1919 there was real spirit shown on both sides. Take that year for example, a special train from Washington and Baltimore carried the jovial and spirited crowd. This does say anything the number who came from the West, South and North. Still I am cognizant of the face that the Hampton-Union and the Wilberforce-West. Virginia grew the game at the Eastern Classic. The paranoid, a little band of spiritured boys can still make the game interesting. I remember vividly how the Howe band played more at the state route to Philadelphia in 1919. Also how that band paraded and played after reaching Philadelphia before the game. At that time young ladies represented themselves as Miss Howard or Miss Lincoln who was spirit then and we all know it. The Howard and Lincoln rabbits were always good. I remember how between halves the lovers of the two Alma Materats lay on the floor behind their own bands — formed the "H" for Howard and the "L" for Lincoln. I haven't seen that done in the past few years. This year. I didn't hear the Howard Alma Mater sums I was waiting for it. What has happened? Can not this old Howard and Lincoln spirit be revived? I am so. Philly Newsies Win Oener from Omegas Newly Organized Quint Routes Greek Tossers, 43-27 PHILADELPHIA — the Tribute Big Five administered a severe 43-27 drubbing to the fast Omega outfit, Saturday night at Cato Hall before a packed house. The five produced by the combined teams of Joe Rainey, coach at Lincoln University, and Randy Dixon, of the Tribute, was a revelation to local fans. After a batting on almost every pitch, the Newsis got their offense to working and it ceased to be a contest. With three minutes to play remaining, the score was 42-19. At this point Hawkins, the Omega star, was the mid-count. The passing and shooting of Beck Anderson, center, and Sly Brown, forward, and of Clarence Hawkins, of the Omegas, furnished the punch to one of the fastest fists witnessed The Newsies next game is D:member 16 with the Silent Stars, an all-star quinted composed of deaf and dumb athletes.

Athletic Influence Strong It be obeyed; at a glance that the felicitously phrased, "Cardinal Principles of Education," postulate a wonderful educational philosophy that any accompanying school means of bringing to fruition such optimistic hopes. What ought to be done is more easily visualized than manmade for carrying visions. The real purpose for making the avowed socializing program of modern education function lies more often without the curriculum within which strong fluency as the append of athletics can be employed as a powerful agency to promote the social aims of modern education. Proper Administration Now the ideals of true sports are "Once last year, I visited a city, with my boys, to watch a basketball game. The home rooters blew whistles, annoyed our girls with vulgar remarks on me from a ballet down on me, with apparent knowledge of who I was and with corresponding pleasure. "As we lost that game, I never uttered a sound, lest my complaint might be multilayered. Had we played the game, your columns or some columns would have received a Philippine that would have done justice to any pen." BY DAVID HUSTON Principal High School, Washington, D.C. When the illustrious G. Stanley Hall voufsaid the opinion that "Play is always the synonym of youth," he expressed an axiom that echoes the answer to our query. "Are athletics an essential part of our education?" In order, however, that the fundamental term in our discussion may have its broadest significance, athletics will not be limited to the narrow field of variety of sports. It will be a comprehensive program of sports for the institution at large. This precaution is taken because too often the schoolman of conservative dogmas and the layman of pardonable pedagogical dimness prone to restrict athletes' ability to compete as players, or line, or five, as the case may be. "The Good Old Days" In the "good old days," and those proverbial days existed in the nebulous past, when educational institutions took most delight in being cold storages of learning, when information was the supreme test of scholarship, when the physical education youth was restrained to work around the schoolyard when "learn and labor" were the catch words of scholastic endeavor—in those "good old days," stiff opposition was set against athletes in educational institutions. Athletics Tolerated In the second stage of educational evolution, the transitional period from the formal to the informal of social objectives in education, educators tolerated athletics as a necessary evil and held themselves in readiness to throw their weight in the air to win the community to dehonze the growing importance of sports. It seemed to them that athletics and catastrophe - the catastrophe - holding a comfortable lead. Sports Aid Morale In the third stage, which is our present day period, educators of vision have caught the wisdom of *c*-operating with athletics, using the sports as an unfailing means of developing and maintaining a whole some morale without which no educational institution is headed for the The most serious indictment that can be brought against present-day education lies in the charge that educators are promulgating certain cardinal principles tending to bring about a social development of its students, that they may act as teachers, and that such present practices become socially equipped for adult life; but simultaneously with this announced program adhering almost tenaciously to the practices conceived by the fulfillment of their prophecy. Sports Are Democratic No human activity makes a closer approach to the social nature of youth than sports. It is in sports that democracy actually takes place. In sports, the one agency that is competent to bring all people into harmony of emotions and interests—the great preserver of society—is sports. As pedantic as may sound, the Capitals are a Nation where democracy succeeds most is the American League Baseball Park. The utilization, therefore, of athletics for building morale is limitless. With all the potential andromatic aims of education reduced to their lowest terms, each administrator of an educational institution is haunted by the eternal question. "Is your team in its membership?" It is in answer to this haunting question that administrators must address themselves to some definite character-building exercises. To do so, they must be more dependable help that they can get from an ambitious M Christmas CITY CLUB CIGARS. The gift for any Man Always a good smoke - athletic program based upon most inviting scholarly principles. - Athletic Influence Strong It become obvious at a glance that the felicitously phrased, "Cardinal Principles of Education," postulate a certain set of requirements without any accompanying scientific means of bringing to fruition such optimistic hopes. What ought to be done is more easily visualized than the machinery for carrying out such efforts, making the avowed socializing program of modern education function lies more often without the curriculum within. It follows that an influence as strong as the appeal of athletic programs is powerful agency to promote the social aims of modern education. Proper Administration Now the ideals of true sportsmanship are identical with the cardinal principles of real manhood, the development of loyalty and teamwork, give moral training, and furnish recreation and pleasure. They invigorate the mind, give zest to life, and afford social protection for the athlete, as well as beneficial benefits derived from athletics are dependent upon the administration of the institution and upon the coach who repreentns that administration. Like any performance for which less than well as beneficial results to any organization. An administration that takes a firm stand for real sportsmanship is sure to win at all hazards, that covets championships is likely to win at all hazards. Here lies the serious: danger of an athletic program. Institutions that are searching the highways and the byways for sportsmanship, and tractors players, and tolerating poor sportsmanship as a necessary adjunct to their athletic program, are helping to defeat the sole purpose for which the athletic program should be developed, for the development, of character. Athletics Reflect School Paradoxical as it may sound, students prefer to follow the proper practices when they have a robust leadership to show them the way. It is important that athletes live up to any code of morals that the atmosphere of the institution insists upon fostering. An almost unfailing barometer of any educational institution is the character manifested by its athletic representatives in contests. None but a foolhardy coach is going to risk flirting with the ideals of the institution, and no player unquestionably will be chosen for chance; and so it may be recorded as a truism that as institution, so coach; and as couch, so players. It is inconceivable that players should squabble over decisions when they have been properly trained in the game and let the officials give the rulings. When players attempt to perform the double duty of playing and umpiring, they reflect the basic weakness of their skills. Crowds Show Interest Aside from the wholesome morale which may be created by athletics, at least another feature ought to be taught. The ability to be longer a factory system, time must be given to pause long enough to enjoy entertainment. Worthy leisure activities should be considered for modern education. Students should be considered foremost in the matter of lightening up occasionally for some type of worthy leisure. Sports are attractive entertainment for them. Just a glance at the figures of attendance at college and high school contests will give a slight idea of the types of people who are entertained by sports. The answer to the popular demand for such entertainment is real. Students should build enclosures large enough to give undergraduates and graduates a chance to witness such contests. The largest crowds at athletic events are those that follow the sports. Here the vast crowds have an opportunity to watch teamwork matched against teamwork matched against leadership, become impressed with the display of skill and the like, and in short to experience the sides and the type of sportsmanship shown on the field. Thus the beneficial influences of athletics become more not merely through participation itself, but also through observation. Sports Must Be Accepted Yes, athletics are an essential part of our educational institutions that are not medieval in thought and purpose. They are the ready agents for character development and should be used as such.

Howard Line Functions Howard Line Functions At hathaways, the man had scored the Bisons under the tuteage of Coach Chan chan changed their tactics.

The play "Hoch" presented by the Hoskins players by acclamation one of the best seen here. To be exact, the patrons at the affair came in acting quite northern, from some opiate, evidently they were under the influence of "Hootch."

Measures should be taken by the programmers, and young men stop crashing the gates by stealing in through secret passages and exits, and through fire escapes and escape stairs, in that manner should be prosecuted. Finally and most of all, men who start fight at halls while under the influence of liquor, even if non-men, should be prosecuted among the other patrons, especially the female patrons, should be prosecuted by the manager; to the extent of the law for the welfare and safety of the law-abiding and peaceful customers.

Business and A Weekly Survey of B Conducted by W Equality is Pro in Making EQUALITY IS PROMISED—Bodoni TUSKEGEE, Ala.—That all farmers are to be treated exactly alike by the Federal Farm Board in the administration of the agricultural marketing act, which provides federal assistance to agriculture through growers' cooperative associations, was the message delivered to Negro farmers of the South, December 4, by James C. Stone, white, vice-chairman, Federal Farm Boar. Mr. Stone represented the organization a annual Negro farm conference. Dr. Robert R. Molen, principal of the institution, was chairman of a delegation that came to Washington in October to extend a special invitation to the board to attend this conference. In addressing the conference, Mr. Stone emphasized that the law creating the Farm Board is a marketing act and that the board's main task is to help him himself in marketing his products. To put the farmer in position to do this job for himself, the board is assisting in the creation of national commodities, owned and controlled by producers. Local, state and regional cooperatives handling the various commodities are the main agents of these national cooperative commodity sales associations. Purely Economic Mr. Stone advised the Negro farmers to join the cotton, tobacco or rice industry in their neighborhood handling the particular products he grows. The vice-chairman of the board explained that these farmers were the most economical in character and perform no function other than marketing. The cooperation of Negro educators in the South was to be made before the Negro farmers of the South was invited by Mr. Stone. These educators, he said, can render valuable services to the farmers of their race by supporing the board's cooperative marketing program and urging Negro farmers to join the cotton, tobacco or rice industry of national sales agencies which have the endorsement of the board.

One or two reporters who had the hardship to question the ways and means of the magician's bag of tricks, were soon involved in attempting to follow the spoken word of the magician, in the name of the artist that they soon gave up and decided to learn "black magic" at a later date.
