We are told that when St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin came to Bethlehem there was no room for them in the inn. And so Jesus was born in the stable nearby and laid in a manger. If our hearts are full of sin and selfishness there will be no room in them for Him and we will miss all the joy and peace of Christmas. My Christmas wish then for all the people of the MEDITERRANEAN and especially my own people of the Episcopal Church within that group, is best expressed in the words of that matchless hymn of Bishop Brooks— "O holy Child of Bethlehem. Descend to us, we pray. Cast our own skin enter in, Be born in us today." Then shall the Peace of God which passeth all understanding fill our hearts and minds and influence our daily lives. $5 Fly Prize Came in for Christmas.

Edition ```markdown ``` THE NIGHT OF THE MASSACRE ```markdown ``` The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 28, 1929 METHODIST HEAD ON TRIAL FOR CHICAGO GRAFT Bishop Carey Faces Trial for Selling City Jobs. CLAIMS INNOCENCE Case Expected to Last Several Weeks. CHICAGO. (ANP) — Interest is rampant in the investigation of the grand jury in alleged selling of civil service jobs and graft which opened here Friday, involving several members of the civil service board, including Bishop Archibald J. Carey, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Carey was indicted several weeks ago when a white man testified that he had paid the bishop, or his representatives, sums of money for jobs which were never delivered. It is alleged that promotions were contingent upon the amount of money paid for the recommendations. The most recent developments involved the discovery of Louis B. Anderson and Robert R. Jackson of the second and third wards and Alderman B. A. Croneau, the Jewish alderman of the fourth ward, which presides in the county according to the testimony of several polioemens, these aldermen have been instrumental in having them reinstated in jobs which they had. Alderman Jackson and Anderson have stated that they would be willing to testify before the grand jury or any other body, as they have Alderman Cousson, who is a nephew of Corporation Counsel Samuel Etttelson is also willing to face the music and has declared that he has done nothing to defeat the purpose of the civil Bishop Carey, when indicted, stated that he was innocent of any graft charges and said that the whole attorney who brought in the charges that he had paid money for various civil service jobs to the bishop is said to be a confidence man for sacrifice and sort of deavor. The bishop declared at the first hearing and in a statement to the press, that he had only seen his accuse once and that was when he brought in for questioning. Friends Back Carey Friends and supporters of the churchman and politician have come to his rescue and have joined hands with the church and the charges as a frame-up and as an effort on the part of political enemies to discredit the civil service commission as a whole, as issued by Mayor William Hale Thompson. The case is expected to be a long drawn-out affair, extending through several weeks. The investigation will be accompanied by appointees and appointees to all civil service jobs, and declare that their findings indicate that many have secured advancements and appointees to all civil service jobs, and declare that their findings indicate that many have secured advancements and appointees to all civil service jobs, and declare that their findings Mostly Whites This case, however, is not confined to colored appointees. In fact, most of the promotions and appointments of the police have been central members of the civil service commission. Lieutenant J. H. Scott, of the police department has, been implicated but has denied that he paid for his advancement. He has also appointed his promotion from sergeant to lieutenant has not been stated by the investigators. In all events, there is much interest manifested in the case that the charges are true and those who express the opinion that the whole affair is a frame-up. The trial is the only answer to the question and that will entail within the next several weeks. More Punished Of course, these possible indictments, added to the long string which the grand juries and the special court have used in the last two years, contribute to a large sense of boredom in the mind of the general public. The motive of such indictments is to visit punishment upon politicians big and little, who were trafficking with the underworld and proving in their crimes that they have all failed to such an extent that the people have come to believe, either that the prosecutors are too dumb, or the politicians are too stupid, for the object sought by the gain. Hence, the statements of politicians that they have nothing to fear or fear of, are confident of their innocence, or of their ability, in one way or another, of establishing their innocence on making their guillot impossible to prove.

Froe, recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, denies that he will resign soon, endorsers for ambitious politicians, hearing rumors to that effect are besieging the White House in behalf of their constituents and "favorite" sons. The Kansas delegation recently called at the White House to endorse Martin W. Powell, an employee of the House of Representatives for the Kentucky Busy The Kentucky delegation is sported to have become active again in regard to the candidate of their favor, Dr. W. T. M. Merchant of Louisville. Jefferson Coage, of Delaware, now under order, has urged the governor to Recorder Decies the position as a promotion due him for service in the office, in the event of support by Senators Hastings, and supported by Senators Hastings, and Representative Houston. Froe Won't Talk Mr. Free will make no comment upon the rumor, save to say that he is in charge of the museum, and knows nothing of the rumor. It is believed that the fa' that Mr. Free's resignation has been on the floor since March fourth, is the basis for the current rumor that he is about to retire. Mr. Free along with other Presidential appointees placed his resignation on Mr. Hoover's desk just before the inauguration of the new ex-president, in accordance with usual custom. Endorsers When it developed that no disposition had been made of the resignation of the recorder of deeds, the applicants at once got to know him and tried to press forward with their claims. They are encouraged by the fact that most of the resignations of other presidential appointees have either been rejected and sent to an office or accepted and new appointments made. State Delegations There was activity in several state delegations last spring in behalf of candidates when it leaked out that there would be no change in the office of the recorder of deeds for the present. Mr. Frost was at that time reported to be preparing to return to Welch West Virginia, to resume his practice of law. Mr. Frost was appointed by President Harding. He has made an excellent record during his administration of the office. He records a state standard equipment and modern methods installed. At one time the office held the record deeds to owners deeds recorded deeds to owners in periods of thirty-six hours. D.C.Society D.C.Society Merry Makers.

Because of the artistic beauty of the place and the high class foods available there, the place was filled to overflowing every night with many of the leading white film folk from the city, and on the floor with the other patrons. This proved too much for the "cracker" element of the town and as a result the place was made unpopular by frequent raids by the police officers. Nelson was told that he could continue his place of amusement producing a mix in the dance. This he would not do because he feels that individuals should be permitted to choose their own associates regardless of "Jazzland" Suffered "The Jazzland" was his second venture. Police were unfriendly and raided it because of its white patronage. His third venture was the "Night-ingale," a cabaret for whites on the Washington Boulevard. Eventually he sold to his white partner. Street theater there was objection to a colored physician operating a cabaret for whites.

Representative Harold Knutson (Minn.) recalled that Presi- dent Harding appointed a high com- mission to supersede the United States minister to Haiti with an express purpose. Congress, He asked, the question, "If the President can appoint one commissioner, not seven?" "If you want to get the whole- headed commission of the Haitian people, you should be appointed on commission of seven at least two outstanding colored American citizens," declared Representative Fish (Rep. N.Y.). He suggested name of Dr. Emmanuel W. Scott, seci- tary treasurer of University Race Problem. "I would be very unfortunate to inject the race question into this problem," stated Representative George Osborne (Dem. Ala., who) about the race. The strange thing about the Indian situation," he said, is that many of the people who are the spiritual and political decrements of those who conferred political rights upon the Negroes and the people to the Negroes of the Nigrits.

It was the first time in 28 years that a colored person had spoke on the floor of the House. His remarks were applauded from the Republican side of the House. "I occupy a peculiar position on this particular question. There have been so many contradictory statements on both sides of the House, it does appear to me that each side should vote to appoint this commission. Want Eplightment. "Most members of the House are not familiar with the conditions in Haiti, like myself, and I am grateful for a mentorship from a commission that will make an impartial investigation. "I was very much pleased at the suggestion made by the mentorship team, Fish when he recommended that one or two members of the commission should be from the racial group that I am identified with, and hear other gentlemen object to it. 125,000 Educated "The Italian people consist of two and a half million black people, about 125,000 or 130,000 being to the class, and what the people of America wish is that the opinion of most people be ascertained, so that the President can more correctly carry out the program of resisting to help these become capable of self-sufficiency. ab at Democrats. I appreciate also the great work that has been accomplished there we have occupied the country along general improvements in respect, and I am very glad to see the gentlemen on the mid-side of this House so very solidly about the condition of the black people of the black people of America. We in America would like in some of States of the country to have the right of self-determination. The people of Haiti should have the right of self-determination under the broad principles of our Constitution and under the laws adopted during or about the time of the settlement of the World War, for every group of people in the world it was stated, should have the right of self-determination. South Right for Once. "This should apply to Haiti and also to every other class of people that God's sun shines on, and I am glad to see the gentlemen on the minority side of the House thinking, for once in their lives, because I appreciate the condition of the black Americans, where they are denied the right of self determination in almost every place, and Dixon's line, and I congratulate the gentlemen for starting in right in Haiti and conceding the common people the right of self-determination and hope it will spread to every State in the world and that we will enjoy the same rights and privileges. Praise for Hoover "I stand and shall vote for the appointment to this commission. I shall vote against both amendments when offered, for I have the right to vote for the present Executive in the White House. (Applause.)"

Recommends One. "I appreciate the benefit of appointing a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti that will meet the utmost respect and confidence in the island, and I know of nothing that will instill more confidence in these black people down there than I have one at least who can sympathize with them through bonds and ties of blood and kin. " I shall not make any special request for the Negro on the commission should be, I do hope the President will see to it in his wise judgment to get some man of outstanding ability to represent us especially representing the group I am identified with, that will be a credit to America and do justice to both America and Haiti. We ought to ask for anything more. Hundreds of Telegrams. "I shall not, perhaps, take all the time yielded to me, but I am carrying out the wishes of the people of this country, and group all over this country. I have received hundreds of telegrams asking me to support this resolution and to sustain the President in his desire and wish to apportune his wisdom to the further wish to call the attention of the House to the fact that the President made this request in his message before the unpleasant incident that just unpleasant conditions were known conditions were not like he would wish them, and he evidently wanted information outside of the military channels that we have there now, so that he could have a standpoint of a humanitarian, and I am satisfied that every member of this body wishes to do the thing that is going to do the greatest good to the greatest number of people in this country for this resolution or not. "From their talk I am led to believe that they want to help the Haitian people and I am going to take it at its face value, and I have confidence that the gentlemen who are talking to me believe that the Haitian people should have a square deal. Not to Exploit. "I know our Government is not there to exploit that island republic, like every other member of this Congress ought to know. The people who were there purpose. They were sent there by a President who was a member of the minority party now and because he thought conditions warranted occupation. Of course, we have committed some wrongful acts. I do not know; but that was done individually, it was not the purpose or policy of the American Government. I know that militarism is harsh, not only there but every other place in the world."

BOYS OUTNUMBERED BY GIRLS IN SCHOOLS Ratio in Nation's Schools Is Two to One, Says U.S. Expert. MD. HAS TINY SCHOOL North Carolina Has Largest Number of High Schools. WASHINGTON, D.C.-Of the 108 private high schools and academies for the Negro race in the United States, 89 reported an enrollment of 2,539 boys and 558 girls off of the division of statistics, Dr. Frank M. Phillips, stated orally at the United States Office of Education, December 20. Dr. Phillips said graduated 1,316 students in 1928. They are full four-year high schools and academies. Private high schools for the Negro race are scattered through 17 states, and South. North Carolina reported the largest number of such schools, Dr. Phillips explained, with 18 having an enrollment of 552 boys and 1,470 girls in 12 schools reporting an enrollment of 350 boys and 827 girls, and Georgia ranked third, with 11 reporting 230 boys and 692 girls. Mississippi reported 8 schools of this character, and Texas had 9 schools ranged away from 6 to 10. Girls Outnumber Boys The smallest enrollment in any private Negro high school and academy was in the one school in Maryland in which there weer no boys and 19 girls. In the District of Columbia an enrollment of 47 girls and no boys, Dr. Phillips said. When asked why the enrollment of Negro girls was in such numerical majority over the boys, Dr. Phillips said. The girls were less impaired by occupational interference. A number of them can serve as maids and pursue their studies at the same time, while the boys cannot. Then again, Dr. Phillips continued. the girls were taught as teachers and therefore can put into immediate use their special training. Two to One The same superiority in numbers of girls enrolled compared with boys also exists in the public high schools of the Nation, Dr. Phillips stated, of those of the girls close to the here are enrolled in the public schools two Negro girls to every one Negro boy, he added. Since teaching is the principal occupation for the more highly trained Negro, Follow is the principal occupation of pursuing high school and college courses is preparing to be teachers, Dr. Phillips pointed out.

Colored men as well as women get little for the work they do, regardless of how hard it is. They get a little money at work, because it is an extremely scarce article. During tobacco and cotton and fruit season, they fare a little better. But this season is short, and what money is made is usually used to pay Children Out of School The children, as usual, are the worst sufferers. When school opens, it is generally only children of the most prosperous who are able to get books the first and second months of school. Children who do not learn readily at school. They are retarded year after year so that it is not strange to see a big, strapping fellow of fifteen in the third or fourth grade. And it is difficult for the teacher to try to interest fifteen-year-old Alice in "Peter Pam" when he hears an sixteen-year-old Jim across the side. Two-Room Houses Many of the homes are crude two-room structures often without any windows at all. And in these rooms live families of from two to ten. As for privacy and cleanliness, they are unheard of. Can't Bathe in Winter "When you ought to me a bath twice a week? Ah clah.

Underwood, of Ohio, who is reported to be a democrate, is going on a separate following statement: "I am the only Democrat on the committee on enrolled bills. I dislike to serve in the committee, but I abdicate my official duties simply because the Republicans have put a Negro on the committee. Many distinguished men of the South have served on the committee and on committees thereof with Negroes in order to preserve and safeguard things that we hold dear. I will serve on this committee as directed by the Democratic caucus and will be found there doing my best to uphold the Constitution, though the Republicans should fill their end of it with monkeys."

It is understood that Algood's action is not even completely appreciated by his Dixie constituency who point out that he is in this instance hampering his effectiveness as their leader.

Out of Work Even the most menial jobs are given to white men so that many men who apparently are lazy loafers, are really industrious men out of work. Saw-mills, turpentine camps, and clitching are usually chances for work for months at a time. But on the other hand, the menial job is not sure of employment. About the only ones sure of work are those on the chain gains. Light Side of Life But with all of their economic worries, the people are a happy, care-free group. When tobacco season is in swing they eat pork chops and steak and ride in their fluviers; when there is a storm they go to the door don't worry. And probably that is the best way to live—looking at the bright side of life. WASHINGTON, D.C.—In approving five bills for reorganization of the Federal prison system and for construction of three new penal institutions, the house judiciary, committee last. Friday eliminated provisions which would have authorized the Attorney General to contract with the States for labor by Federal prisoners. The refusal of the committee came as a result of opposition to the provision by the American Federation of Labor and the storm of protests that followed the transfer of 97 colored prisoners to Penitentiary to the custody of the Prison Commission of Georgia for road construction work in Chatham County, Georgia. The provision of the bill, which the committee refused to approve, would empower the director of the bureau of prisons to contract for a period not exceeding three years with the proper authorities of any State or county for the imprisonment, substitution, or employment of any Federal prisoner. On Federal Projects Representative George S. Graham, Republican, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the judiciary committee, stater, however, that the elimination of a prosecutor would a佐税or the Attorney General to contract with the States for labor by Federal prisoners, did not preclude the use of prisoners on public lands, and such as labor in national forests or road building on Government land. Two New Prisons The bills favorably reported by the Hous., judiciary committee provide for a complete reorganization of the Federal penal system, the erection of two new prisons and a hospital for defective delinquents, the creation of a new parole board and the diversification of employment of prisoners.

England, Spain, Portugal. Unite in War on Human Traffic. Warships Prevent Slave Smuggling There. LONDON, (CNS.) — Slave traffic is still rampant in many places like the Sudan, Abyssinia and Arabia although reports show that efforts are being made to curb the practice. In the White Nile Province, in the Sudan, the British authorities recently learned that a woman named Sitt Anna, who was known as the steel of Khogail, was one of the principal slaves in the slave traffic with Abyssinia. She was arrested with her followers and imprisoned. An inquiry made in the same prosecution resulted in the release of 90 slaves. There are numerous slaves in Northwest Africa. It is hard credible, but it must be admitted, that the Northwest African native populations was carried on hitherto by means of slave labor. Reports by the League of Nations show Britain, Spain and Portugal are attempting to stamp out the slave traffic. In Arabia difficulty had been encountered in the carrying out of real efficacious measures to combat slave trafficking. British, French and Italian warships in the Red Sea have blockaded the Arabian coasts in order to prevent smuggling ships, known in some parts of the world as "bush birders," from reach. This traffic has almost ceased, as the smuggling fleet has been practically destroyed. No Race Member on Illiteracy Commission "Moonlight" Schools to Teach Adults to Read and Write. WASHINGTON, D.C. — (CNS.)—The National Advisory committee on illiteracy is laying plans whereby the five million adult illiterates in the United States shown by the 1920 Census will be given a chance to learn to read and write before the 1930 census. Under the program worked out by the executive committee of the national committee, the National Advisory committee an opportunity for schooling within the next few months, it was learned here Wednesday. Wilson Stewart, chairman of the executive committee, said that results obtained in North Dakota and other states strengthened the belief that illiteracy could be completely eliminated from the country. The national advisory committee plans to establish an illiteracy committee in each state to cooperate with the National Advisory Committee. An attempt will be made to establish adult schools, on the order of the "moonlight" schools fostered by Mrs. Stewart in the mountains of Virginia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia, states which are represented on the committee. No Negro was named, despite the fact that Negroes, because of their predecessors, have had a great opportunity, contribute largely to the high national illiteracy rate which has come to be as "one of the least disadvantaged."

Arnold, white, manager of the Southern Tariff Association, who sought to organize the Southern Republican Council for the purpose of eliminating the Negro as a political factor, were branded as reprehensible and judiciary sub-committee investigating lobby activities, which was made to the Senate by Senator T. H. Caraway, Democrat, of Arkansas, last February. Arnold himself was denounced by Senator Caraway as "utterly without any regard for veracity." Senator Caraway barrass him at all to make a statement and then produce a letter showing that the opposite was the truth. He would deny his own sig- Just Making a Living The committee reported that there is no such thing as a Southern Republican organization were "all alliances, under which one J. A. Arnold operates ostensibly to influence congressional legislation, but in fact for the purposes of a small group associated with him." That part of the sub-committee's regional efforts to organize the Southern Republican Council is as follows: "One of the various organizations which Arnold attempted to effect, but, in the course of his efforts, Southern Republican Council. Its purpose, as set out in an elaborate circular prepared by Arnold, was to promote the interest of the Republican Negroes on the Democratic ticket in the North to equalize the situation, as he expressed it, by blackening the party's influence rather than by attempting to whiten the Republican party in the South. White Leadership "It offered an ambitious program consisting of: 1. white leadership; 2. protective tariff; 3. sound taxation; 4. nationalization; 5. sentation in Congress and Cabinet; 6. elimination of the Negro as a political factor; 7. revision of election and registration statutes; 8. managerial plan for city and county government; 9. southern congressional district, county and precinct committees. "Arnold, having disclaimed any knowledge of the Southern Republican Council, was confronted with the following letter written by him to Letter to Muse "Dear Mr. Muse: I went with the darkey to see to Vice President Curtis and he thought well of our friend, who was a matter that should be taken up with Mr. Hoover and that he would talk with Hoover about it. They all seem to want to get Hoover's attention. "Curtis said he had thought of getting a better grade of Negroes to lead in the South, but I told him that would not be the complete job. This letter was signed 'Arnold.'" "On the whole, the committee is of the opinion that the operations here reported are repreensible in the highest degree, even though no specific statute, penal in nature, may be imposed against them, a type of lobbying, against which the public ought to be protected by appropriate legislation."

(ANP) — Christmas greetings from C. Francis Stradford, former president of the National Bar Association, to Sheridan A. Bruseaux, principal of the Bruseaux National Detective Agency, came in the form of a charge that Bruseaux had tried to engineer an extortion plot in which the lawyer and Dr. Benjamin Bluitt, prominent Chicago physician and surgeon, were to have been the victims. Stradfords charge against Bruseaux came after an inquest into an illegal operation performed by Dr. Bluitt upon a girl who later died. Bluitt Discharged Dr. Blutt was discharged by the coroner's jury, but it was intimated in the story published, that the fee of $3,000 was paid to the corvant and that it must have been obtained because Dr. Blutt was afraid of the consequences in which he found himself. Stradford first takes up the matter. of "The fact is that the whole microsemi- ronse arrose out of the psychology which still linears among some of us, and which should not receive adequate compensation," he asserts, "and therefore, if he does, then there must be something mysterious and impro- bable in connection with the specific Fees "Glacier Darrow received $1,000 thousand dollars for defending Dr. Sweet on the charge of murder. Rather low fee for Dr. Sweet with the acceptance involved in the case because of the while the Chicago Bar Association fixed his fee in the Loeb-Leopold case at one hundred fifty thousand dollars, exactly thirty times. "No one would record the death of human beings would record the fee of three thousand dollars as excessive to defend one of the leading physicians of Chicago against the most serious charge known to the law — murder. Shake-Cown The tenmest in the teapot actually grew out of a certain busy-body one high-priced designer who proposed to make himself an involuntary, uninvited partner of anyone who receives or has an attractive suitor. He was a fashionable, trouble-grew out of a shake-down plot directly engineered by this aforementioned Sheridan Brusseau who came into my office in person and did the fce which D. Brusseau had paid. "Not being a lawyer and being entirely ignorant of the law, Brusseau had advised me to obtain an statement, which warranted not only inference that he, the doctor, was guilty of the crime of murder by abortion, but also the conclusion by my advice to bribe certain public officials who had chrise of the case. "How on earth he expected to help the doctor's case by such a crime, he knows exceut Mr. Brusseau. And, by the way, this is the same Brusseau who muddled up the Lease Innuity, and made it impossible to prove the actual murals of Octav- Granade. Intimate Friends "The only remaining question is how this man could be a doctor. Mr. Brusseaux, in the first place, he and the doctor were in the same room. The number of years, and Brusseaux has New Born Has 12 Toes; 11 Fingers TOWSON, Md.-A baby boy with six tails on each foot, and six fingers on the left hand, was born to Mr. and Mrs. William Gripp of Granite, W. W. W. The case, Dr. William E. Martin, is an unusual freak of nature in that while the addition of extra fingers and toes is met with occasionally, it is odd that there was an extra finger on one hand while the other is normal. The baby is perfectly formed and in good health. The mother has an additional toe on one foot, and a former baby was born with an extra finger and an extra toe. Been a constantly defaulting tenant of the doctor, according to the doctors' own statement, notwithstanding the huge sums of money which it is said Brussels received out of the Loesch investigation, money has been found. One is in a bid for social position by giving expensive parties." Collected from Bruseaux Although the information was not contained in the statement of Mr. Bradford, the $3,000 fee and was forced, when unable to collect rent from Mr. Brueaux to pay the rent, Mr. McDonald "goosed" McDonald, wealthy Fort Worth, Texan, to send the funds demanded by his counsel. Mr. McDonald is said to send the money without any delay. SO. AFRICANS REBEL AGAINST TAXES Dock Workers' Quarters are Raided by 500 Armed Police. HUNDREDS FLEE Natives Yield Only to Superior Forces. DURBAN, South Africa, (CNS.) — Officials here are showing great anxiety over the anti-British demonstration that took place here on December 16, a public holiday as a part of the national holiday. Intense defense strikes among the natives over the armed raid of 500 British police from Pretoria in the dead of night upon the barracks of the police station. The mass arrest, handing of passports and tax receipts. The chief purpose of the raid, the police officers said, was to collect the tax of $5 a head from the dock workers. The police arrived here at 3:30 a.m. and immediately threw a bomb around the miserable barracks where thousands of dock workers live. Hundreds having got wind of the raid, escaped. The police then considered weapons with them. Frequent fights took place as the police went through the barracks and groups of workers that showed resistance were broken up. The tax resistance campaign of the United States has led to police to Communist propaganda.

William St. John Blackshear, Brooklyn Episcopal minister, in discouraging attendance of colored people in his church, has had Less week these columns told of the action of Pastor Adelbert J. Heim, white, of Detroit Bethel Evan教会, Church, whose bishop was Evans, this church and council refused to accept the membership of a colored man and a colored woman. The Rev. Mr. Heim did not there. He blasted the lack of a loom in the church, which made the mistake of questioning his sincerity. In a letter to the press, he said: "This newspaper accused my two colored friends of being responsible for my resignation, of being inconsiderate, of very poor spirit in making friends, of lacking graciousness, receding at the point of this editorial, an amazingly shallow one throughout. An history in history has any advancement been made by urbanity alone, without struggle." The applicants in question would have withdrawn their to do so, if I had requested them to estimate the knowledge of the splendidly gracious characters involved. But had they withdrawn of their own initiative at the first hint of friction I could have interpreted action only as cowardice or lack of "Had they withdrawn, the ethical limitations of WHITE Christianity would never have been so frankly revealed. We could never have enlarged the scope of the nation, the country, nor could have aroused hundreds of leaders to focus their best thinking on the problem of the prostitution of Christianity's moral sanctions. As it stands, it is problem for us. We clearly stated for our churches. Hundreds of letters and telegrams assure us that wide thought has been stimulated in every state of the union. The same results could have been achieved, but we are not justified for brotherhood. BUT NEVER BY RETREATING AT THE FIRST SIGNAL OF BATTLE. "Racial discrimination and prejudice can positively never be overcome by attacking an audience and the剧院. I can compare such surface strategy only to a perpetual mopping of a floor, leaving the flow of the spigot on the wall unchallenged. The ethical sanctions of our civilization are granted by our government, and we jointly withdraw their O.K., the spigot's flow is arrested, and the floor will soon be clean. "I revere the courage had prophetic vision of the applicants but I must acknowledge that history will vindicate their action." "I beg of you to print this statement to qualify the imane criticism directed against them by so many of your group. ANOTHER BOMB EXPLODED AGAINST OVERESED INJURY'S TOMB Still another bomb was exploded in the local white churches of Detroit, Sunday morning of last week, when the congregation of the Church of Our Father, Universalist, denounced the practice of white churches excluding colored people from membership. The white minister told the congregation that it was impossible to accept the principle and teachings of Christ, and at the same time exclude members of any race. The church, he said, is facing a racial issue which cannot be side-steped. He admitted that it was unwise for colored people to seek membership in a church where the constituency was predominantly white, even though they had a perfect right to do so. He said that the congregation would come to me," said the minister, "and apply for membership in my church, I would say to that person something like this: 'Never doubt but you will succeed.' We are committed unalterably to universal brotherhood as a basic truth of life. "We maintain that without it the Christian Gospel is a meaningless thing. It is our purpose to demonstrate the truth in every possible way. It is our purpose to mean perfect. There are probably no saints among us. It would be unfair and cruel to let you believe that in the Universalist Church there are still few men and women who understand the uncommon wisdom." So, if you come into this fellowship, it must be with distinct understanding that sometimes you will be made unhappy by annoying evidence of that prejudice." If with all these reasons you will not come in, only one course would be open to us." DR. AUSTIN STILL OUT A flare-back from the last session of the National Baptist Convention, was heard in Jacksonville, Fla., recently, by the election of Rev. J. C.

An upheaval among the rank slave owners was felt when the master upheld the slave's contention that the case was carried to the supreme court. The supreme reversal upheld by the United States Supreme Court in the numerous Dred Scott decision of March 1857, in which Chief Justice said that "a black man had no right that a white man was bound to Dred Scott, a slave in Missouri been, in 1834, taken by his owner to Illinois, a state prohibiting slaves and in 1836 into what is now Iowa, a state where slavery was prohibited by the Missouri Compromise. In 1838 he was taken back Missouri. In 1848 he sued for freedom on the ground that their residence in territory where slavery was prohibited he had taken it, a slave, and acquired it, a free man. Not Citizen The United States Supreme decided that Scott was not a member of any state, and therefore was entitled to any standing in that state, also that Congress no longer would prohibit a citizen of any state by carrying any territory or other property; and that Congress had no power to impose Constitutional protection of property while thus held in a court. For this decision, Scott was sent to a New Yorker from the state, the court which had a short time before made him free.

Representative Allgood of Alabama won't serve on a Committee of the House of Representatives because Oscar DePriest, Negro member from Georgia, bad that there are no enough Negroes in Congress to put one on every committee, so that Allgood would have to stay out of all committees. Why doesn't Allgood resign from membership in the Congress, since DePriest is not a member? Then, too, he might go on and be perfectly consistent and resign from all connection with the Human Race, since DePriest is also a member of that. This is certainly some shrewd scorn, "statementism," and is the only reason why any of us have ever heard that Allgood was in Congress. He ought to thank DePriest for otherwise nobody would ever have heard of Allgood. Helfin, also of Alabama, got elected a senator because he shot at a Negro in Washington, and Allgood will be seeking a place in the Senate because a Negro is in the House. What a pitiful low level of intelligence it all disclosures! He sent to Congress by a much bigger and more honest vote than the vote behind any representative from any part of the state of Alabama. And the voters send him back—so that Alabanians can do some more resigning. "History-Fakers" Much has been said about "nature-fakers," those pseudonaturelists, who other life exaggerated and colored by their imaginations and by their desire for the sensational. And now the return of the fifty-five bodies graves in northern Russian, is calling forth whole volumes of patriotic lying or "history-faking." Michigan, at the ceremonies in Detroit, over the bones of these fifty-five boys just returned from Siberian wastes, was told: "Live!" Then he went on, eloquently and falsely, to declare that their sacrifice "should quicken anew in all its devotion to the cause of liberty." Full of patriotism and empty of truth, or of the courage to tell the plain truth, he added that he had come to Russia in 1918 "to die for liberty." The only reason why one of the bravest of these boys did not rise up and protest and shame the governor, is the simple fact that to be eleven years dead and buried makes it impossible to talk; but let us suppose that one of those boys could get up and speak—this is more nearly what he would have said: **Governor Green**, when we sailed from Hoboken in July, 1918, we had no desire and no idea of going to fight Russians in Russia; we were going over, like so many other helpers, to the front against what was described to us as a German menace. And we had no settled intention to die; every one of us hoped to be one of the lucky ones who would return. In the end, our minds was any notion of going to Russia; we knew as well as President Wilson knew, that there was no war made on us by Russians, and that our liberty was not threatened by Russia. We were not threatened to Russia on a plain 'fool' errand. Had to Go "We were soldiers; we had to go. But the only liberty that was attacked while we were in Siberia, was the liberty of the Russian people, who were fighting for their own notions. Instead of fighting for liberty and freedom, we were doing our dermedest to beat down the Russian people and to resurrect them. We were fighting ducked them which they had destroyed in pursuit of their own freedom. "We had no sympathy for the form of the new government in Russia, but we were fighting it; but we were fighting against their liberty to order whatever kind of government they wanted for themselves. We were opposed to liberty, and if we could have succeeded libero, we have been wounded, not defended." or we can remember after we had our first experience with the killing frosts of Siberia. *Accomplished Nothing* "We accomplished nothing in Russia except the untimely ends of our lives!" If dead men could speak, a lot of historic lies would be confounded. But in talk, and they will go on, writing fake histories, befuddling the minds of the young by ratitic falsehoods, and preening their most remarkable and the most honest contribution to this remarkable funeral of the fifty-five men of the 33th Infantry, was the message from the Russian army. These Russians sent a wreath of flowers, accompanied by eight simple and dignified words, which ought to disillusion all those who may have been deceived by obsequience and patriotic cannuffes of the American speakers. The Russian Imperial Guard remembered, clearly enough that the Imperial Guard had been sent by President Wilson and the administration to help the Imperial Guard to beat back the Russian people and "a re-establish the throne of Russia, if they could Our government had tried to pretend that the Russian Revolution was only the uprising of a few artilliers and communists alone, but never have beaten the Russian imperialists, combined with American and British and Japanese soldiers. Nothing they had done that, and it is marvel that, under the circumstances, they were able to achieve New York "Somebody told me that during the Wall street panic, you committed suicide by jumping off an iceberg.

Christmas Preparations Last week was not so gay. After all, one must take time off for Christmas preparations. And even blase uptown New Yorkers cannot resist the Christmas spirit. What with addressing Christmas cards, wrapping gifts, putting the finishing touch, as to the house and purchasing that last smart frock, there was not much time left for partying. Of the entire week, the only really good affair was the Christmas number of the now famous Black Sheep given last. Previous evening at the Elks' Imperial Edition in Harlem which was just gloriously illustrated with pretty girls and handsome young men. The club members did themselves proud.

SOCIALIST TOURS SOUTH Norman Thomas Tells of New Color Line There. NEW YORK-"It does not take much of a prophet to foresee the coming of a time when at last the white mill hands will strike against tolerate conditions and Southern mill owned by Northerners will turn to Negroes," declared Norman Thomas, white Socialist candidate for president in the last election, who has just returned from a tour of the South. He said: "Economic war will be heightened by racial feeling. The only way to avert such fate is to organize Negro workers as well as white workers as well as economic solidarity now before it is too late." "There is some real encouragement to to found in the South in the growth of a conscience on racial relations, especially among Southern students, and women who are doing very courageous and straightforward thinking and acting along these lines. They ought to but it costs some of them dearly. "A visit to Fisk University, a colored institution, shows me how empty a superiority. I could name without trying a considerable list of white colleges in all parts of the country which are more stodgy intellectually than Fisk. And I could name a much longer list of colleges which haven't a tittle of creative and appreciate beautiful music. Lynching in Tennessee "But neither North nor South is the improvement in racial relations going fast enough. Only the other day in Tennessee a young Negro boy went to work for a black and a African employer, a white woman, had fainted when somewhat roughly he demanded his long overdue wages. They lynched the boy for attacking her and found out later that he was a black man. The black man of zeal is after all only an error on the right side. "I Jim Crow cars, poor schools, segregation, bad housing and exasperate work, and we have to take the tale of the Negro's woes against which there is a rising tide of justifiable resentment. "If anything, lack of economic opportunity is worse and not better. This is in the South by a product of the growth of technological unemployment which increases the pressure for jobs, in part it is due to racial prejudice. "In the South from colored to white barbers and waiters.

Mr. Bruce denied a story printed in the newspaper that he had received any money, either as loan or gift from Mrs. Butcher. The News carried a retraction two weeks ago of its story when she received a word from her husband, Mrs. Bruce characterized the story as altogether false, misleading, malicious and illious. Information received by a representative of the AFRO-AMERICAN at the American Arbitration Association is to the effect that the recent award of $3,000 against Mr. would stand in the matter had been in the hands of a sheriff to serve.

J. JONES. Prop. NEW YORK—(CNS)—The New Year will find a clean and sanitary Harlem. Dirt, litter, and fifth have been banned, and Harlen is going to be cleaned up. William F. Deegan, Tenement House Commissioner, ordered 100 tenement inspectors to start on December 16 a clean-up of Harlem tenement hallways, and afterwards, ityways, it is expected to be cleaned up by Rick W. Wells, president of the Harlem Renters' Association, 200 West 136th Street. Mr. Deegan's action, Mr. Wells said, was in response to a request for a rent for a tenant on December 10. He expressed gratification at the prompt reply of Mr. Deegan, made the day he received the request. Mr. Wells's letter read, in part, at 115th street on the south, 149th street on the north, and from river to river — east and west. There is an accumulation of vermin and various sorts of dirt, filth, and garbage in areas and alleyway, connected with or belonging to the dwellings within said area. "More than 175,000 men, women, and children live within these limits in defiance of the laws of sanitation. Unless your department acts in this way, you will be in danger of much grief. We would advise the appointing of extra inspectors immediately." The request came as a result of a survey conducted by the Renters' Association in which it was found that 76 per cent of the buildings obliterating the tenement sanitation laws. Mr. Wells said that not more than 5 or 6 inspectors have been in Harlem recently. MORON GIRL SLAYER MUST GO TO PRISON Pleas of Josephus Daniels and Governor of N.C.

VOTE NEEDED Dixie Hears Clean Argument for Ballot. Raleigh, N. C.—Hubert T. Delany, assistant U.S. attorney and recent candidate for Congress from the 21st Congressional District, New York, was the main speaker at the final meeting of the Community Chest Welfare Society Sunday. The meeting was held in the City Auditorium and was attended by members of both races. He noted that while he would not wish insult any person in the audience, and hoped that none of his remarks would be thus construed, that he himself was afraid of no one and that he was merciless with those who were afraid. If come here to the meeting, I know it. If it hurts, I'm sorry," he said. While he stated that he had left North Carolina in the days of his youth because he was, unable to get education, he perused education in college, and was said that North Carolina was doing more to foster Negro education than any state in the South. "But," he added, "the Carolina at that is not doing its share." "So long as 20 cents per day is spent on each white child and only 11 cents per day on each Negro child he feel satisfied with the appropriations. The State gives to its Negro schools." He further stated that he felt that Negroes in no state could receive education as a state opportunity long as a state appropriated separate schools for white and Negro children. The Ballot He said that the way to cure these inequalities it known that the people are dissatisfied, not by merely asking for larger appropriations, but by becoming active citizens and using the ballots to back up demands for equal opportunities. "Other people generally give us the things they do not want," he said. We can only show people that we are not going to come self-respecting citizens who know the value of the franchise and use it to our advantage." **Segregation** He unequivocally opposed segregation, Jim Crowism, etc., but said that we cannot hope to eradicate these conditions in the South unless we begin, to depend upon our own resources, and become an important factor in the political life of the community. We must learn, that hissis is a practical one, that hisssis is an enterprise, and become an important factor in the political life of the community.

We have been given to understand that we must be careful to understand what we mend our ways the time will come, and come soon, when there will be no Negro servants. Perhaps this may be true and perhaps it is true that there are servants who will be for the sake of argument we will admit that it is so, but on the other hand there are a number of servants who are not worthless and they should be given proper training. Recently we have been hearing an awful amount of talk about Negro servants and their children. We have been told that they defend by both white and colored speakers that unless we mend our ways the time will come, and come soon, when there will be no Negro servants. Perhaps this may be the reason for the number of shirking Negro servants, and for the sake of argument we will admit that it is so, but on the other hand there are a number of servants who are not worthless and they should be given proper training. We venture to say that there is not a family in this city that pays living wages but that can get all of the good Negro servants it wants and more. Johnson to Liberia Unable to persuade Dr. Emmett J. Scott to serve upon the international commission named to investigate forced labor conditions and charges of slavery in Liberia, the State Department announced last week the appointment of Mr. Charles S. Johnson, director of the department of social science at Fisk University and former editor of Opportunity magazine. Mr. Johnson will collaborate with two other members, one appointed by the Liberian government and the other by the League of Nations. His selection meets with the approval of Negro Commission, and the State Department plans to call Liberia's bluff by sending one commissioner in whose brush there is no whitehawk. There is slavery in Liberia. Every wideawake traveller in West Africa has seen it and written about it. Mr. Thomas J. R. Faulkner, Liberian visitor to the U.S. recently, told the State Department and the League of Nations about it and in a story printed first in the AFRO-AMERICAN disclosed the fact that Liberia's president, C. D. B. Walker, received fees from the sale of laborers to the Spanish island of Fernando Po. With "Doctor" Johnson on the commission the Liberian republic might as well start now to poke out its tongue for a thorough physical examination. The new commissioner is a former director of research and investigation for the Chicago Urban League and also in 1921-28 for the national body. He was a member of the Chicago League and the "National Chicago" the official report of the Chicago Commission on Race Relations following the 1914 riots. He founded and edited Opportunity magazine, before accepting a departmental position last year at Fisk University. The AFRO-AMERICAN not merely expresses confidence in the choice of the State Department but it feels certain that with Urban League efficiency and precision the legal conditions will not only be discovered, unravelled, and reported, but also sifted and sorted, tabulated and catalogued. indexed and cross-filed. It now becomes the question, not how much the commission will find out but how much of its findings will be given to the public. Unable to persuade Dr. Emmett J.

Qualities of Our Race Moved by the heroism of Mr. Lewis Allen, a labor who made three trips into a blazing waste paper establishment to bring out eight white women, Mr. B. Howell Griswold (white) suggested a public subscription for the benefit of Mr. Allen and other heroes, and leading the way, generously subscribed $250 for this purpose. Said Mr. Griswold in explanation: Moved by the heroism of Mr. Lewis Allen, a laborer, who made three trips into a blazing waste paper establishment to bring out eight white women, Mr. B. Howell Griswold (white) suggested a public subscription for the benefit of Mr. Allen and other heroes, and, leading the way, generously subscribed $250 for this purpose. Said Mr. Griswold in explanation: "We so often regard the Negro in a different light, that when we see him exhibiting the qualities of our race, the public ought to read it." Well there is another good bucket of milk kicked over. Not intentionally, perhaps, but nevertheless kicked over and spilled. Well, there is another good bucket of milk kicked over. Not intentionally, perhaps, but nevertheless kicked over and spilled. The inference from Mr. Griswold's statement is that courage, valor, gallantry and heroisism are the qualities of the white race and that timidity, fear and cowardice are the parallel qualities in many white people make that mistake. Even Theodore Roosevelt, great President and humanitarian, taught his son that there are "four kinds of boys, good and bad, BLACK and WHITE." If courage is willingness to die rather than be enslaved, we site the suppression of Dolphin who subdued the crew and by explosion destroyed their enslavers and themselves rather than be brought to the Colonies. This was in the year 1731. In 1739, twenty-five Negro leaders of slaves were killed in South Carolina rebellions, and thirty-four were shot, hanged or gibbeted alive. In 1740, fourteen were killed, 13 were burned, 18 and 7 deported, for participating in liberty riot. In 1732, liberty loving slaves were balked in their effort to lay waste the city of Boston with flames. If courage means going to one's death in battle with a song on one's lips, can it be that Mr. Griswold never heard it? In 1740, New Orleans with Andrew Jackson, or at Fort Pillow, at San Juan Hill, at Carriacal and in the Argentine? The inference from Mr. Griswold's statement is that courage, valor, gallantry and heroism are the qualities of the white race and that timidity, fear and cowardice are the parallel qualities in the Negro. Many white people make that mistake. Even Theodore Roosevelt, great President and humanitarian, said that there are "four kinds of boys, good and bad, BLACK and WHITE." If courage is willingness to die rather than be enslaved, we cite the supreme heroism of 1,735 black captives in the brig Dolphin who subdued the crew and by explosion destroyed their enslavers and themselves rather than be brought to the Colonies. This was in the year 1731. In 1739, twenty-five Negro leaders, slaves were killed in Staten Island, and the ship, shot, hanged or gibbled alive. In New York, in 1741, 125 Negros were arrested, 13 were burned, 18 hanged and 71 deported, for participating in liberty riot. In 1728, liberty loving slaves were baked in their effort to lay waste the city of Boston with flames. If courage means going to one's death in battle with a song on one's lips, can it be that Mr. Griswold never heard of Crispus Attucks, or of the black soldier who fought with Andrew Jackson in the Pillow, at San Juan Hill, at Carriacou and in the Argentine? If courage means willingness to lay down one's life for another, has Mr. Griswold perchance not read of three 1938 awards to Negroes by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission? Has he never heard of a Lionel Liorish, who saved 20 person-years? Had Banker Griswold thought twice before speaking, he would have realized that courage is the exclusive characteristic of no race nor even of the human race. Mr. Allen's heroism in the O'Connor fire lay in the fact that a man with a sickly wife and children' made three trips into a burning building to save eight fellow women workers. All of the women could have followed him down on the first trip but they hadn't his presence of mind. Police, firemen, pedestrians, workers, white and black, saw Mr. Allen make his second and third trips to the burning inferno. They could have gone with him or ahead of him, but they lacked his gallantry. Under such circumstances Mr. Allen's bravery appears to be of a type which is as high above the average white as above the average colored person. It is the race of supermen. There is no qualifying color test, and none who belong are coasters. THE STAR Bethlehem's star guides us today. In the paths of truth and peace; Its light will ever shine on earth.. Till time on earth shall cease. ARCHIE R. SMITH, The More Major General Smedley D. Butler, U.S. Marine Corps, was called to account by Navy Secretary Adams and asked for a written explanation of a speech he made in Pittsburgh recently in which he is reported to have said: "We marines took charge of two elections in Nicaragua. The fellow we had in there nobody liked, but he was a useful fellow—to us . . . so we declared the opposition candidates bands. Then 400 natives were found who would vote for the proper candidate. Notice was given of opening the polls five minutes beforehand. The 400 voters were assembled in a line and when they voted . . . polls were closed." The plain inference seems to be that marine government in Haiti is similar to that in Nicaragua. "Gives who charged the general with conspiracy to murder the men who were unjustly declared bands received this reply from the frank officer: 'I have told all that to the Senate committee on foreign relations and a great deal more.'" If the Senate but sees fit to look carefully into its files for the testimony of General Butler, there may be no need of sending a commission to Haiti to "investigate." Critics who charged the general with conspiracy to murder the men who were injustly declare the officers to be guilty. The officers have told all that to the Senate committee on foreign relations and *a great deal more*. If the Senate but sees fit to look carefully into its files for the testimony of General Butler, the committee of sending a commission to Hailt to "investigate." Arkansas Christmas If you lived in Arkansas you should be suspicious of the Mosaic Templars, a fraternal order which inducted Mr. Scipio Jones into office as president last week. At the inauguration, the governor, Harvey Parnell, called attention to the esteem in which Mr. Jones is held by the white people of the state and nation and added: "The entire machinery of the state government is behind the Mosaic Templars and intends to see that it intends membership fifty per cent during the next year." Thoughtful Arkansans may well wonder why the governor is so interested in a fraternal order that he is willing to put the state machinery behind it. Arkansans rarely make flattering public speeches without a motive. Since most Negroes are deprived of a ballot in Arkansas, can it be that Politician Parnell has friends in the banking business, for example, or is he—carried away by the Christmas spirit—merely endeavoring to say complimentary things to his fellow citizens? Sober Arkansans we imagine, would like Christmas gifts to Parnell to put two more planks in his next public address. 1. "There will be no more lynchings in this state while I am governor. (Three last year; 249 since 1885.) 2. "The whole machinery of Arkansas is behind the state-wide movement to provide seven months school terms and a seat in school for every child of school age, black or white, rich or poor." If you lived in Arkansas you should be suspicious of the Mosaic Templars, a fraternal order which inducted Mr. Scipio Jones into office as president last week. At the inauguration, the governor, Harvey Parnell, called attention to the system in which Mr. Scipio Jones is by the white people of the state and nation and added: "The entire machinery of the state government is behind the Mosaic Templars and intends to see that it increases its membership fifty per cent during the next year." Thoughtful Arkansans may well wonder why the governor is so interested in a fraternal order that is willing to put the state machinery behind it. 1. "There will be no more lynchings in this state while I am governor. (Three last year; 249 since 1885.) 2. "The whole machinery of Arkansas is behind the state-wide movement to provide seven months' school terms and a seat in school for every child of school age, black or white, rich or poor." 3. "twenty-five per cent of Arkansas Negro children of school age are not in school. - School term, 0 months, school expenditures per white child, $13.36 per color." 4. BUT—there is little chance of the Christmas spirit meaning something practical to the governor of the heightened arch-Kansans. What Price a Meal?

His work toward the purpose of his role is outstanding and his ability is recognized by all. Now, therefore be it. "Resolved, That the House of Representatives of the sixty-sixth General Assembly, the Senate concurring, in extraordinary session convened, extends to President Hale, the Senate concurring, in extraordinary session convened, and appreciation for the 'bountiful spread' and the many other courtesies shown us and extend to them our good wishes in their great work. "Be it resolved further that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to President Hale. Adopted December 12, 1929. In the House of Representatives: S. R. Bratton, Speaker of the Senate; Approved: Henry H. Norton, Governor." Also without parallel in the etiquette of civilization is the fact that, although the members of the legislature were the guests of President Hale, his faculty and student body, none of the college officials or students sat at table. The hosts served the guests. In Tennessee they say: "Come have dinner in my house." *Anywhere outside of Dixie the invitation reads:* *Only one other comment is necessary:* * The resolution is evidence that the members of the legislature were well fed. The whole incident ought to be legal tender for at least one new building when the state budget is approved. The South's the Place It is well to bear in mind that whatever other sins the South may be called to bear, when it comes to business, pure and simple, it is in the South that the Negro is given a man's chance in the commercial world. Our greatest danger is that in the great leap from slavery to freedom, we may overlook the fact that the masses of us are by the mind that we shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify common labor and put brains and skill into the common occupations of life; shall prosper in proportion as we learn to dignify and glorify common labor and put brains and skill into the common occupations of life and the useful. No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life we must begin, and not stop. In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress. There is no defense or security for any of us except in the highest intelligence and development of all. If anywhere there are efforts to curtail the fullest growth of the Negro, and to be turned into stimulating, encouraging and making him the most useful and intelligent citizen. Nearly sixteen millions of hands will aid you in pulling the load upward, or they will pull against you the load downward. We shall constitute the South, or the downward and crime of the South, or one-third of its intelligent and progress; we shall contribute one-third to the business and industrial prosperity of the South, or we shall prove a veritable body of workers to advance the everyday effort to advenience the body politic.

To the Editor: The press constantly informs us of numerous mean and malicious acts of injustice inflicted upon our people by the caddish white policemen, who keep silent in the face of such grit injustice. A few months ago, we read of a white policeman so severely beating a colored woman that she had to have hospital treatment. Last week we read of a woman in nearby Virginia. In the first case, the woman was accused of being drunk, this was proven untrue at the hospital. In the second case it was a minor infraction of traffic regulations, but what that in neither case were such methods justified. How long is the Negro going to keep silent in the face of such beastly imposition? 'Then, ever, shall he realize what freedom means?' We are told that in neither case wrest哭礼 from a hostile and indifferent race? The press constantly informs us of numerous mean and malicious acts of injustice inflicted upon our people by the caddish white policemen, who keep silent in the face of such gross injustice? A few months ago, we read of a white policeman so severely beating a colored woman that she had to have hospital treatment. Last week we read of another boldly slapping a colored woman and then accusing the woman was accused of being drunk, this woman proven untrue at the hospital. In the second case it was a minor infraction of traffic regulations. Every one knows that in neither case were such methods justified. We are going to keep silent in the face of such beasty impunity. Then, if ever, shall he realize what freedom means? When will he assert himself and demand or wrestle justice from a hostile and indifferent race? Freedom means self expression, and the secret of freedom is courage. No man ever remains free who acquires in what he knows to be wrong.

Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the important thing in life is to know when to forget. "The placement of a colored representative on the Haitian Commission would best promote the accomplishment of the great end in view." The Haitian Commission. By KELLY MILLER Congress will shortly authorize a commission to inquire into a more feasible and effective relationship than that now existing between America and Haiti. The essential purpose of the commission is to correct the error of the commission's canons of reform, investigation should precede intervention. But in this instance we intervened first and propose to investigate afterward, instituted by two controlling motives: The United States by the Monroe Doctrine assumes supersoverighty over the Western Hemisphere, and as a result of this doctrine, certainly until the A.B.C. bowers of South America grow strong enough to call on: hand. In the second place we are bound to recognize that the Puerto Cañon means that we must need exercise reserved control over the adjacent Islands. Already Cuba, Porto Rico, Sanito Domingo and the Virgin Islands have fallen disqualified indirectly under American control. Foreign Possessions Menace Panama Canal. The uncontested sovereignty of England and France over certain of the West Indian islands stands as a potential menace to American control of the Panama Canal, as well as to the maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine. However much we may know about the Black Republic, nevertheless we are in the midst of the inevitable. The fact is, no small nation without an army or navy can exercise any more than a titular power than the dominant powers of the earth. Haiti, Liberia and Abssinia are the only spots on the surface of the globe over which the black man urctands to exercise evergreatly. In all these these the tenure is shaky and uncertain. The Anglo-Saxon race always asserts control over the weaker breeds of man, not only through high and holy pretension. It takes possession of the lands of the darker brethren. In the name of the Lord. Lofty declarations of disinterestness always precede the realization that we took control of Haiti in the same avenue of Godly intent. But in the long run, the result is the same. All that the forthcoming commission will be able to do is to device practical constructive programs for the betterment of the Haitian people, while according to them as much self-sovereignty as we deem it expedient for them to exercise. Her ultimate sovereignty, like the chastity of a ranged virgin, is gone forever. The mind of Afro-America is much aquated over the complexity of the Mesoamerican political can only view public questions from the standpoint of patronage. They regard a place on the commission as an opportunity which the President has to give the race official recognition, pay the democratic service is the last place where politics should enter. The ultimate motive, reason and end in view is to carry out the aims and ideals of American statesmanship. Neither should the race question, as the politician should, nor any question is, how can the commission be composed so as to accomplish the objective which the President has in mind? Mr. Hoover is the high priest of efficiency. He believes in good government in the first place and self-government in the second place. He has had wide touch with the darker areas of the country and with their present capacity for good government from the Anglo-Saxon point of view. This commission will not be hampered by the muestries of the theory and practice of government would be put in jail for reciting the Declaration of Independence on the street corner. Mr. Hoover's commission will doubtless hold this position in the deep background, while formulating a practical procedure. The State Department has usually used colored men as diplomatic representatives to a Negro government. Until recently we have had Negro ministers to Haiti and Liberia. But when the government better served by white men, the substitution was forth-following. At the present moment, under the administration it is represented by white agents in both Haiti and Liberia. In this connection it might be said that President Grant sent a mixed commission to Santo Domingo, President Harding sent a commission to Liberia, on which Emmett J. Scott's cretary-treasurer of Howard University, was the Negro representative, and President Harding sent an all-inclusive commission to the Virgin Islands. Conditions Demand Negro on Commission. Under all of the delicate circumstances that the placement of a colored representative on the Haitian commission would best promote the accomplishment of the end in view, would the satisfaction of the compromise the satisfaction of the commission to see one of their own clime and degree entrusted with high governmental function. His presence would keep the delicate issues involved, of which they might otherwise be unconscious and unconcerned. The President could rely with fuller assurance on the consultation and consent of both of the racial contingents concerned. I expect to see a colored man placed on the Haitian Commission by Hoover—not from the standpoint of patronism, but of patriotism. "Africans have much in common with us as wit and wisdom used in their proverbs show. It is time for us to learn more about them, and are in an inferior and barbaric state.

Miracles at Malden. Investigations of the miraculous cures said to have occurred at Malden, Mass, at the grave of Father Patrick J. Power, white, a Catholic priest, dead for 60 years, indicates that no miracles have been performed. All those persons have been helped who had had mental or nervous diseases which up to the time they visited the shrine they had no desire of their own to cure. Nevertheless, it is estimated that a million and a quarter people visit- 15,000 to 15,000 to pass by the grave on a Sunday or a holiday and some 15,000 to 100,000 on any week day. All night pilgrims knelt in prayer at the grave or in the chapel. Police treated some of the thousands who wished to kneel at the grave as if they were to die. On one occasion was heard to swear at a woman telling her to "get the"—out of c here, you've been here 19 times already." Every pilgrim grabbed a hand full of dirt from 're grave or somewhere near it and carried it in handkerchief or pocketbook home. Every pilgrim campaign buttons bearing the likeness of Father Power. Hot dog stands grew up plenitively in the neighborhood. There may be other lessons in this incident, but one that is plain evidence of the event. Every person or people in section of the country who are sick, diseased, suffering from mental or physical ailments. Word has come from the experienced churchmen who have gone to Africa and other heathen lands as missionaries that what these counsellors need most of the people so much as medical missionaries able to minister to the bodies as well as to the spirits of the savages. If we are to take a lesson from the miracles at Malenai it would also be very plain that the people Father Peter need some missionary or a number of missionaries who can cure the sick. The Book says, "He cured all who came unto him." Was not the hope of the millions of alluring people who visited the erave Father Peter need some ravacious manner, the healing power of Jesus would be manifest at the tomb of the dead priest? **Week's Poem** "IN THE BEGINNING" BY VIOLET ALLEYN STOREY Long long ago, upon a New Year's Eve Aloud those opening verses from Saint John.

Kyle turned a deaf ear to his messiness to his wife, caught straying from the narrow path with a co-worker and assistant pastor. She knew Kyle, according to the story, she cared, prayed, and asked forgiveness. Here is a story of the "women as the well of Samaria," or of the women as the adulterer, whom the accusing man DID NOT STONE, brought home near this Christmas. She hundreded of times the Rev. Mr. Kyle, standing the chancel of his church has solemn dignity prayed: "Forgive us as we forgive others." But when he homes he enters suit and will home cast the erring wife out as a moral leaper. Who could have a doubt that, who would the wife accuse the husband the accused in this what would happen? She would only forgive, but she would forget, hell again, if necessary, for him. The worst custom still clinging to this man-made twentieth century is the double standard which says, forgive the man but damn theoman. But from it comes to a minister of the gospel, who must teach forgiveness, it becomes a blackened mess of inconsistency. The appointment of Dr. Charles S. Johnson as the American member of the commission which is to be appointed, and working conditions in Liberia is a compliment both to the commission and to Mr. Johnson. As a statistician and a researcher, Charles S. Johnson easily stands out among the Johnson so far as men of the profession concerned; and undoubtedly, he is the best informed man on matter affecting Negro labor in this country of any group. More than that, he makes certain an honest-to-goodness investigation and the bringing back of faces without omissions. The whole question of investigating working conditions in Liberia is the most important of a "pot and kettle" affair as this country is concerned. There are no doubt labor conditions in the making over which need investigation and evil practices which should be baited right now. Let us hope, however, that Liberia will rid her herself of these of these sweet days with the compliment by asking this grand American Government to investigate some of the conditions of our country, our Mississippi, and Alabama plantations which still exist in the area of the sea, this home of the sea of the sea, this prosperous land in the world. What Will this Mean to You? When the new Point Breeze electric plant being built by the Western Electric Company interests in Baltimore it will ultimately add 150,000 population to the city. This is based on the fact that it will be running at full capacity. On the basis of the present racial distribution of population in Baltimore, this should mean more than 200,000 more jobs for the city than the addition and add 20,000 to the race population here. The Baltimore Association of Commerce estates 150,000 which the plant will ultimately bring to the city will sustain 6,000 retailers and salespeople. If we could carry out the addition of retailers and salespeople, it would add more than 800 business and retail jobs for colored young men and women. In addition of retailers and salespeople, it would pay an ample $20 per week. IT WILL ADD POPULATIONS ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR DOLLARS EACH YEAR TO THE INCOME OF THE GROUP HERE - This is no misty dream of a mere possibility. The plant is actually being uilt, and whether or not some of the jobs depend upon what we are about now and how we are organized to make the proper contacts. The plant is out of five business and professional men we have talked to during the last six months about the project have given it more than a missing thought. Here are 4,000 more prospective students, and a proportionate number of clients for lawyers, and of customers for business men and women. Here is a place where the vocational department and other can place indeed young men if the proper contacts are made. If we miss doing this, or a part of it at least, it will be because as leaders we lack training for the working masses, or that our so-called downsight inefficient and selfish. Is it not about time that Biblical business professional and fraternal not together seriously on matters of this kind? Imprisoned Soul; Imprisoned Body.

BEGAN IN LONDON Singer Sits for Portrait i Vienna Museum. (EDITOR'S NOTE:-Mrs. Nell Hunter, Durham, N.C., dramatic soprano, the last year in study in Europe.) © ANP VIENNA, Austria—Next month will round out my first year abroad, and it has passed so quickly and has been so full of interesting experiences that I hardly know where to begin. My first six months were spent on Lonely Planet, a very excellent teacher of voice, Louis Drusyale. Many will remember him, I suppose. He is a West Indian and has coached many of the famous Amateur violinists. The people who have studied under him areROLayes Hayes and Marion Anderson. In Austria In July I came to Austria to study German Lieder as well as to learn the language. My teacher here is Dr Lierhammer, said to be one of the best teachers of the present day. He taught during July and August in a little mountain retreat in the Austrian Alps; they were gathered together some of Europe's most famous writers, musicians, artists in all lines. How I wish more of my fellow singers and artists could have been there. Too. My contact there was with a pessanty royalty. A Russian duchess and her daughter, a princess, live in the home where I abide. They are lovely to meet. Both speak English well, as do a surprising number of the artists Back Again Came back here to Vienna, city of music, the first of September, and feel now like a native—the people are so kind, so easy to meet. The city itself, situated on the famous Plain, three times of looking at its lovely buildings and statuary. There is no other city whose musical background compares with it, having been the home of Schubert, Brahms, Bach, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Strauss, Wolf and many others. As far as I know there is not another Negro woman here. For that reason, I occupy a very unique social position—a popularity that I could not enjoy were I fair of complexion. I have not noted one bit of color prejudice—there are people really enjoy being a Negro. I go frequently into some of the best homes here to teas, dinners, bridge, musicals, etc. Artist Paints her Portrait for Museum Recently a very gifted and famous painter has held in the Kunstlerhouse, a city museum. This I consider a very signal honor. It is a large, life size portrait done in oil. I have a privilege of singing quite dearly in private and on programs as well as with other artists, but my real presentation will be by my teacher in April. I wonder what the critics will write, as these are the most critical people in the world.

CROWDS ASK ENCORE By J. A. ROGERS Ethel Waters continues to be the sensation of London, and nearly all the London papers and society columnists are singing her praises. She is the author of the book which the olle of Europe comes, and among those for whom she has entertained the King of Greece and the Queen of Spain. Waters says: "Half the fashionable world was at the Cafe de Paris to hear Ethel Waters make her first appearance in cabaret in England. Ethel Waters is one of those artists who have wide public bases on her gramaphone records. Though the Cafe de Paris audience had never heard her before there were cries after each song for her most popular songs, so familiar on the gramaphone. "The King of Greece I saw with Lady Portarlington . . ." Daily Express says: "crowd assembled fully gathered to witness the cabaret cabinet appearance of Ethel Waters, an enchanting and electric colored woman with short curly hair, long earrings and a saint that is alternately gay and feminine." There was no question about the enthusiasm of her audience. They were all eager to learn again, specially when she sang the appaling 'Handy Man.' She could not pretend, he presided over, to give what is perhaps her best song — 'Shake That Thing. Royal Reception "Miss Waters has indeed, received a royal reception. Among those who were invited to the reception and the Hon. Mrs. Alexander Carnie, whose husband is the brother-in-law, was the granddaughter of the queen.

On the outer tube was a miniature electric bulb and the inner one contained a fluid which were used in grasping the pin. The physicians worked with the aid of a fluoroscope, which could be used for only 17 seconds at a time due to the fact that the X-rays would otherwise burn the tissues of lungs. Four separate attempts were made to get the pin, but until the last attempt, the pin was discharged at the end of the 17 seconds. On the last try Dr. Henry Orton, white, succeeded in getting the pin.

A small helmet held akimbo in full armor, held exaggerated heavy massive bulk to a preposterous breast, and her head, neld low and thirst menacingly forward, was clearly visible to the women stood in the shadow of her. No wound not seen. There had been no except Lissia's cry, and exaggering silence of the night had sucked to suck the shrimp note from her lips and leave the four occupants of the room suspended through a vacuum. From the camp a cat—a struggle—stung death wall—and again subtle change became manifest in the appearance of the skin. She caused trembling. Her form drew to its full height. A ripple of measured muscle trembled on smooth skin of her skin where the skin above her attached clothing. She in a flash she was out Mia's arms, past the gigantic form of her mother, and upon the woman. Words that rose to change, utterance unintelligible as such but more eloquent—more terribly. One slender hand clawed forward and four livl stalked to the lensing nails from forehead to skin. Haze filled her in its curve, caused her to her side for a moment, caused her back to Mamba. As suddenly as it had come, the woman left her. Her head went down to the old shoulder. "Oh, and the voice broke into unconcealed sobbing. The deep, compassionate voice touched her. 'Ah know, child, you must not eat all that food' she shook the shaking iron from the room and into the heavy salinity of the right. There was something terribly complete about those two, about the girl. The entwining caption of the old woman covering the girl and isolating her from every cell, all alien touch—Mamba and Lissa—no one else. The entwining caption like one who was blinded by sudden intense light. Her eyes held the image, mutually alike, of the splendid thing that was her child. The dream woman had the bad treasured glimmer of the girl, and as yet she could not take in this new and marvelous being. She was dizzy from the revelation. She was also unusually conscious of a loneliness deeper than any that had gone before. The chaos of her mind was shot through by an instinctive warning. Suddenly her brain cleared, her body tensed. She spun around and faced. Gate her in his face, gate her in an exquisite thing deep and elemental broke free inside her. She stood watching him, caitlin as he moves along the wall a the direction of the crap which stood at the further end. She knew what he wanted now. She let him get closer to the drawer with its mass knobs, her eyes and he all the time. She saw his glimmer with hope. Then she was before him, with the take her back. As he had advanced she held, the attention at casualness, so now he retreated or while she closed the distance between them. It was the same chastily rehearsal, carried with utter absorption, for some the future. It was that set for the future. It was the advanced and attent. Then at last the wall was wrang the man's shoulder blades. The touch of the unvelidine timber to turn his limbs to waddle he gave, and he had dipped opposing arms in his blood. He raised his arms before this face in a weak defensive gesture. He said "Yo rattlesmaken! Yo rattlesmaken! Yo dead now neptim beep me—an now我 need Lissaa —" Then after a few words "Lissaa —" Then the man found voice in a screech that was so weak that it scarefully filled the room—at its peak it plunged into silence. Martha wanted to set Lissaa away from the terrible place, back into the ordered streets and houses. But Hazard not come. Why couldn't he hurt her, and set them at the automaton, and the girl, who was quiet at last, of her arms and started back to meet. The door was open and she plunged with the candle name, plunged with hueren and half light. a woman entered, with Lisa fearfully over her shoulder. Her arm was with her back to them. Her arm straight and lionic at her sides. Her huge shoulders flur back arch of shadow over half at the wall before her. Blutvlan had a smile at her feet. His head was at a prepossessive ankle.

Ah only know he been hurt Lissa." Mamba wasted no sentimental pity on the broken thing upon the floor. Her whole being was focussed on the staggering predicament that confronted her. "Get outside," she ordered, "Ah got to t'ink." She blew out the candle and toiled them into the open, thinking aloud: "Ah got to sen' Lissa away quick, an' she got to go far. But Ah can't let she go alone, an' she ain't got no frien' to go to." Between broken sobs Hagar said surprisingly. "Ah got a frien." Mamba looked at her skeptically. "Yo' has? Where?" "Ah got a frien what's a Reverent, an' he'll be in No. Yo'k." "Yo know what he house is?" Hagar was getting herself in, and in need of a car. "Ah got it writ in a book in gib me.

When they reached Hagar's cabin she ran inside and returned in a moment with a small black book in her hand. She pressed it on Mamba, who had followed her to the door. She name an' number is writ inside. she said, "Lissa can tell he sat she Baxte: gal-an to 'member what he say 'bout always bein' my friend."

She fainted at her sleeve and faced Hogar again, impatient at the delay. "Well," she snapped, "what you want now?" made one of her gauche childish gestures toward the automobile. "She wouldn't care so much—efh go an' tell, she good-bye!" Manba caught her breath sharply, and suddenly she held her finger, her intelligence that drove that articulate, powerful machine in the service of the grandchild, but Hagar's own mother, feeling her child's loneliness and sorrow grew. She took one of the big, beautifully made hands and drew Hagar forward, speaking gently as they plodded through the heavy, white sand; crying, "Ah got tinkin' so hard Ah funget. Ah say hard tings Ah ain't mean. It ain't fuh me -Ah杰 study all me time 'bout dat gal, am all mind seem like it dry up on edder His Hagar stopped beside the car.

So long since the cord had been severed. Centuries lay between them now—and yet, in that fractional part of a minute life beat out again from the heart of the big black woman, thriving in her child, and coursed re-fluent and warm back through her own being. Hagar lifted one of his Lissa's hands and humbly, yet with a certain possessive pride, kissed it upon the open palm.

WATSON Text by ROLFE DELLON The fact that Jack was once world's light heavy-weight champion is not generally known.

Hagar said, "Good-bye, chile. Don't be fraid. Nuttin' g瓜 hahm'yo." And the next moment they were gone among the mists and shadows. Saint Wentworth sat in the lobby of the Pennsylvania Hotel and impatiently watched the hands of a clock that seemed to have been sturdy and creeping paralyzed. At the door he was asked to enter the Avene and select the ring. It was a terribly complicated business, getting married in New York. Saturday they had got the license. Simultaneously minutes at the Municipal-Building—that was all. They had gone together, blinded by a new glamour in the air, and feeling themselves marked for public notice by the magistrate's step that they contemplated. But upon their arrival at the vast downtown structure they had been both assured and chagrined to find a way to walk long, sandwiched between a tranxely infatuated Negro couple and a pair who made love in foreign liquid sylables. It was odd how many people had the same idea. Then there were share couples sat, while Eros, in the guise of an officious elderly man, engaged between them and explained in lucid and complete detail the meaning of certain objections to questions. Saint, very red, tried to foretell him by explaining that they both understood. It was no use. The man was filled with the zeal of a good man who gloried well and conspicuously work that occasions no effort. And now to-day there were more details — more complications. The minister had to be seen again, and he graphed home for a copy of his birth certificate and had not received a reply. It seemed that you could not be seen, and there was documentary evidence that you had been born. The fact that you could be seen, touched, even separated from a fee, were inconclusive evidences. You had to be careful. No use to start yet and have to cook his heels on the Avenue. His thoughts drifted to another matter. He was brought to earth by the solemn of his own name drowned in a loud, monotonic voice. Good; that would be the wire about the certificate. He signalled the boy and tore open the envelope. He said, Mamba's granddaughter Lissa in trouble arrives New York noon train. Mamba begs you to meet her. Couldn't he even be safe from the old responsibilities here, and at the one time in life when a man should be free? And Val—just about their biggest challenge, then blissful hours at the stores and decorators' planning for the new furnishings. And now at the exact hour when she would be awaiting him in the store, she unreasonable and insane summons. Well, she be damned if he would. Mamba yes—but not to the third generation. Perhaps he could still each phone and be now engaged. But now think of what he had decided against going? He lore the yellow slip, bailed it up and volleyed it at a waste-paper oaklet. Then he went through an unpleasant washing gesture. Well, that was that. He got up and strode restlessly about the vast labyrinth. When he came to a standstill he found to his amazement that he was not a telephone booth. "Go to hell!" he apostrophised it fiercely under his breath, and turned away. But a power that he had never felt filled him with a deep and inexplicable misery as long as he moved away. Mamba out of the long past with the funny string-wrapped arm and the understanding tenderness—her with her one idea and her everlasting persistence. What did she care if it upset his plight? And the time she had made him take Hagar in at the mines. Would he never be free of Mamba's daughters? What was there about her that could hound a man and a woman like cur until he did her bidding: a comical old Nessress a thousand miles away, and yet. somehow, he felt that he dare not go back and meet her summons for help. He found himself calling a familiar number. Valerie's voice — even over the 'phone, that dew early morning quality that made his hang a beat. Good God! he hadn't what to say to what. How could he put it? "Val. I'm desolated, broken-hearted. Promise you'll forgive me for what I am going to say. No. Not that—not that I want to say that. That I won't meet you at noon. There's something I have to do. . . Well. it's awfully hard to explain over the 'phone. There's a girl coming up from Charleston I've got to go and meet. . . Mamba's granddaughter Lissa.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 28, 1929 "The Miller of the Dee," Has Nothing on N.C. James T. Summersett of Whiteville Has Been Grinding Community's Wheat and Corn for 20 Years. By FAITH WOODSON BY FAITH WOODSON WHITEVILLE, N.C.-The Miller of the Dee ground in his grain years of the mill, grew new breasts of a miller no less famous in this neck o' the woods, than his predecessor. He is James T. Summersett who has lived here practically all of his life. He be said when questioned. "Tye be bringing up new beginns for 'Yep-ood' years. My mill is the only one in this neighborhood. I used to grind every day, but business isn't like it used to be so now I grind just once a week." Start Saturday The long caravan to his mill begins early Saturday morning. From six o'clock until late in the evening the rumble of wagon wheels may be seen. The mill is colored, Indians and Issues (would-be whites) wait their turn to have their meal ground. Not infrequently do you see little boys, and often women, with small bags on their backs. to meet her at the noon train. Jove, you a dear. Three o'clock, then—at Tiffany's. You're an angel, Val. Wentworth did not at once recognise his protege when she came up the stair from the lower level in the stream of passengers. He had been looking for the girl whom he remembered vaguely as being slender and pretty with eyes like those of Mamba and Haguenau, but he was not trouble. It was not until he could have touched her with his hand that he recognized her. Taken from her familiar matrix and placed before Saint against the wall, she stood good out for the first time, not as Mamba's grandchild to be taken as a matter of course, but as Lissa Atkinson, with an individuality of nenw at Wentworth was startled. It was enough he saw her for the first time. She was clad in a modish tailored suit of dark blue with a flash of be-ht embroidery on collar and arm cuffs, with small alas silk umbrella suspended from her wrist by a loop. Wentworth's glance took in the slender, superly carried figure and the expressive face with its small flipped mouth. She was a tall, glamorous gaze and flashed tum a look of surprise, almost incredulous, recognition. "Why, Mr. Saint!" she exclaimed. "What on earth are you doing here?" "Hello, Lissie." he answered. "Didn't you know that Mamba sent me a message to you and help you get settled?" "Why, no. You see in a hurry. She must have heard of your being. She must have been good. She just like grandma. She thinks of everything." The girl's self-passion was colossal, almost disconcerting. Saintool, her small vallse. There was something at once flattering and empathic that she put herself in his hands. They stood under the dust with scurrying humanity brushing past them, and Wentworth wondered next. "Have you any place to go?" he asked. Lissa opened her handbag and produced a Book of Common Prayer. Then she opened it at the flyleaf and presented it to Saint. He studied the inscription for a moment. Of course—the Reverend Thomas Grayson. In his minds eye a picture of a broad image with heavy earniness or purpose. "What luck! he excalled, his expression clearing. 'We'll hop in a taxi and go right up.' Satie! the one which was satelite its way toward Harlem. Wentworth was free to give his whole attention to the problem of his travelline companion. "What's the trouble, Lissa? he said. She sat back in her corner and with that complete fail; in his willingness to assume her responsibilities that, had embarrassed him in the station, told him simply the complete self-possession what had occurred. When she had finished he gave a low, expressive whistle. "Well, I must say," he commented, "you don't seem to be afraid of the consequences as far as you are concerned. I am not." she replied confidently, "Grandma and Mamba'll fix it at home: there's nothing they can't fix. And I have you to look after This alarming surrender to his care provoked a very pertinent question. Whewt! Hearay may be slow-witted but she knows how to protect her daughter, Lissa. While on the western coast; a fortune teller there predicted his future and recounted his past with such accuracy that he was not only astonished, but found years later that his life came to pass with little deviation from our foretelling. Soon, predicted his becoming heavyweight champion, his love affairs and several of his adventures. Start Saturday Don't Need to Wait If they do not wish to wait for the meal as the grinding is a slow process), they mark their bags and call them. The queer part of the miller's contract is that he does not get money for his work. He is entitled to one-eighth of all the corn that he grinds. He is entitled to a decree of bushels a day. It gives him a pretty good profit in corn which he may sell. "I grind wheat too," Mr. Summersett said, "but it is more expensive to change the machinery quite a bit." According to the miller, so much corn meal is eaten that it is cheaper for a man to raise his own corn and buy it. And, too, they give that age-old reason that the food which they prepare themselves is better. So the person who thinks all grist millers and song, has another thought, coping.

Finding the Right Man Is Not so Simple, Despite the Thousands of them all Around Us. Many Men Unable to Find the Girl they Want. By ELIZA A. CARROLL Why don't you get married? have you ever considered what a foolish question that is to ask — especially a woman? I asked me that question once and I asked him whom should I marry? His answer was "the world is full of people." He did not know that although the world was full of people I could not marry any of them. I once heard a woman say about another woman. "Isn't it a wonder she doesn't get married?" He said the woman cannot get married if nobody marries her." She said. "She has beaux." It matters not how many beaux she has she cannot marry any of them if they marry her. Foolish Talk I have heard this question discussed a great deal in my life, and it seems to me that most people talk very foolishly about it. I have heard people say that anybody could get married if they choose. That seems to be the opinion of who many who are married or who have had a chance to marry. They think because they had a chance, that everybody else had. But that is not so. Not Intended I once heard a woman say, "Everybody ought to get married: it was intended. I said, 'It could not be been the first place, there are more women than men.' She said, 'That's so. too.' Well, it was a wonder she did not know that she was so, too. It was for everyone.' I have a friend who says that somebody in this world for everybody. How can that be so when there are more women than men? How can that be so when there are so many breaches of promise suits, and why is it that every once in a while we caer hew of some ornate dresses, we are disappointed in love? If everybody could get married would this be so? Experiences I have heard some people giving their experiences to me, and I relate some of them, and you who read this see whether you think anybody can get married Old Maid I once heard some women slurring another woman about being an old maid, and she told them the reason she was one. She did not get married, but the reason she did not was because she never had but one chance and she let it pass. There were two sons why she did not wait young and thought she would wait until she was older. Another reason was that she did not like the man very well, but someone would come along that she liked better. She waited and nobody else ever came to see her. and when she found herself getting old and nobody came, she started out trying to tell her a terrible failure TOIL. And then people had her for a laughing stock. Married Other Girl Now here is another case. I once went to see a girl and she was crying very bitterly. The lady for whom she was working said, "What is the use of crying about that man? But him go on about his business, said she, but he does not know how it he hurt. This is the third time this has happened to me. I have been engaged to three men, and they all deserted me. And the worst of it is, this one got my money and now he has married another woman." Men Have Better Chance Now it seems to me when a woman an thinks enough of a man to get engaged him, and let him man have money, she must have man have married. Weel. then, why didn't she? The men do have a better chance than the women; because they can ask some questions. But I heard a man say that he had made three attempts at getting married and, each time had fallen. The first woman had back on him. He went to see another one, and she died. He went to see another, and her parents would not let her get mar- Tried Two Years Now, here is another case. I once heard a young man say that he had been trying for two years to have his eyes of a woman that he liked, she was either married or she was engaged, or she had company. He had never seen a woman that he had been wise for him to marry someone who he did not like. So he thought it best to remain single. Because that it is not as easy for some people to get married as others think it is. I have heard people say if a person did not try it was if he selfish and not think anyone was good enough for them. That was not so in these cases which I have mentioned, or else those people would never have been engaged to any Asked Three Times I once saw where a man asked a woman three times to marry him, and each time she refused. The last time she refused he命令 suicide. I once read of a man who jumped into a cave and burn herself because people slurred her so much about being an old maid. I have often wondered who people will slur a woman about this. But they seem to take a great deal F.M.D. HARRISON of pleasure in doing so. Everybody knows a woman cannot get married if nobody marries her. Then why the shirring? It has always seemed to me that people are prejudiced against maids and bachelors, and I have always wondered why. I have inquired about it, but nobody has ever been able to explain it to me. Old Maids When I was a child I asked my mother why people spoke in so ugly a manner about old maids? She said, "They are not like other people." I asked her what was the difference between them and other people? But she never told me. I once heard my father and some other men speaking about a man who had been elected to an office. My father said that if he had known he was a bachelor he would not have voted for him. When I asked him why he could not tell me. I could not understand that, so I do not see a bachelor as a married man. All they need is common sense; and I cannot see why a single man cannot have as much sense as a married man. I have before me a paper in which there is an account of a girl years old who is outgoing on an airplane. One writer of this paper says if she had married at 17, and had a baby at 18 she would still have been here fussing over the baby. It is something he may not have thought of. I wonder if anyone asked her to marry. If not, she could not do it. She might have lived until she was 77 years old and no one may have asked her. And no one may have asked her they not have meant it. No Intention to Marry I once heard a man say that he had asked a woman to marry him, but he had no more intention of marrying her than he had of walking to the North Pole. And there were people who did him. They ask them and do not mean it. And still people expect them to get married. How can they do it? Will someone please help?

That is his cue. He is trained to howl long and sonorously, and he can sniff out the evidence as this, he probably stands and howls for half an hour. Then he commences to lumber up. He places his nose close to the ground and becomes the very picture of squirring activity. Hither and thither, he moves the remainder of the pack sniffing at the evidence and they, too, howl. The sheriff and his deputies stand about conversing in low, dark whispers. The countryside assemblies with borrowed shotguns and pistols. The hunt is on. Wives cry for their husbands not to hunt man, and mothers box their young sons ears and send them on home and later chastise them for stealing out pappy's pistol from under the plow. The blood hounds are booing and plunging and participating in embarrassing familiarities. Directly the leader swings off on the scent. The pack follows, the deputies follow, and the couple couple up. The fourth adolescent roars and take out the cannies, cuffs and curses them comprehensively. USUALLY WRONG Now the constabulary believe bloodhounds infallible, with reservations. The first scent is generally erroneous. So the first hours of the man hunt likely ends at the front gate of the Baptist minister or the town's leading merchant or best baggage handler. The front-lace pull an impulsive wipe-crack. The officers and assembled citizenry look and feel intensely silly and herd the hounds back to the place of beginning. This time the leader starts off in the opposite direction and ends up at old Dago Joe's stand down by the track. We hear the counter and smiles as the silly buffalo fish thereon. The citizenry are have located their man. They always knew Dago Joe wasn't the safe sort. But alas; not so. The paternal hound decides that he does not relish buffalo fish and off he goes to the railroad tracks and there the trail ends. For at the tracks he halls and commences to bay approximately. There can be no doubt about it. The defamer has hopped a freight train. AFRO FASHIONS BY AUNT DILSEY 6730 6733 6719 THE AFRO-AMERICAN Pattern Bureau, 1-12 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, NY.

SOVIET MENACED Claim Kellogg Peace Pact Is Really a Smoke Screen. WASHINGTON — A demonstration against the murder of the peacants of Haiti, against American war maneuvers on Russia, and a request for the immediate withdrawal of U S troops and warships from Haiti, China and other oppressed colonial countries, was made here Saturday night by the Communist International. The meeting, which was an open air affair was staged at Seventh and Pennsylvania avenues despite the refusal of the police to issue a permit. Due to the fact that several members of the group had been arrested for picketing the White House earlier in the day, it was thought that police would break up the demonstration. However, police did not interfere and a big demonstration was held. Blood Rule in Haiti It was state' in the protests that, "Migrants are exploited and oppressed by the American capitalists, who through U.S. Commissioner Russell, and President Borno are keeping up a rule of iron and blood with the support of U. S. marines and warships. Severe economic crises, ups, wage-cuts, long hours and unemployment is the lot of the tolling cases." Chinese Butchered Relative to China it was asserted that. "Warships and troops of imperialist powers are being rushed to China to prevent the Chinese masses to overthrow the bloody war in Imperialists. Hoover said.

It was evident that his manager, Luls Gutlerrez was hot in the collar. "What the hell's the matter with you?" the voluble Luls exploded. "He's mussing up your hair." And sure enough, the highly polished and plastered-down hair of the Cuban was all rumpled. Chocolate smoothed it down, and after that the fight was his. Chocolate was in no mood for playing and started right out with a knockout in his mind. In the opening round he pounded Lawson about the body, and in the second he aimed for his opponent's head. It was only two minutes and 24 seconds after the beginning of the second stan- Beats Petrone Also The Cuban Keed, appearing c. the Christmas benefit card at the Coliseum.

LONG (Coach Wiley College) MARSHALL, Texas. — Football in the Southwest enjoyed one game during the past two months. More good teams were developed, which made practically all games real contests. In the Texas Conference no team had more than three touchdowns, while three of the games ended in ties. Probably the biggest surprise of the year was the return of Sam Huston as a champion coach, because those three games was crossed only once during the year. Wiley won the championship but all games were cugher. Coaches campaged before attempted.

BROOKLYN, N.X.-The entry of Gus Moore of the University of Pittsburgh, National Cross-country Champion, has been received by the Games Committee of the Fourth Annual Indoor Track Meet to be held at the 23rd Regiment Armory, here, on January 4th. Moore, who is probably the best two miler in the country today, is scheduled to race Stanslau Pettikiewicz, Polish campon, and Willie Riota, "The Finnish Flyer." Riota has been in training for more than a month, and is reported to be in good condition.

The football season just closed was no exception, and in discussion the football old timers, there were a number of questions and points brought out. "How." one of them asked, "do you think the best Negro eleven in the country would stack up against Notre Dame, Pittsburgh or Army? Do you think that they would have a chance?" Finally, however, I got my wits together, if any, and tried to give an answer. And here's what I said. Under present conditions, and upon immediate notice, I don't believe that the best team we have could hold a candle to Notre Dame, for several reasons. The graduates of our high schools, who make up our college eleven, do not get the scholastic coaching necessary to be as familiar with the game as they should before they enter college. Coaches in our schools do not make the intensive special study of the game of football that many white coaches do. The pay of coaches in our schools will not warrant their spending as much time and money in "brushing up" on the fine points of the game as their higher paid white contemporaries do. The Carnegie Foundation Report says exist in other schools. Some of the best material from race high schools does not find its way to race institutions, but goes rather to mixed schools. The publicity behind race teams is not as powerful as that behind the major white institutions. On the other hand, however, I believe that with plenty of advance notice and time for practice, the lending race teams would give advice of the training and the playing and the old ladies. And I believe that an opportunity to play against one of the “bigtimers,” would so fire these race athletes that they would play almost superhuman ball. Given the same coaching and physical care that the athletes at Notre Dame would believe that a race football team could be developed that would elucidate any white eleven that ever wore a cleated shoe. That the Negro football player has ability cannot be denied by same fellows of sports. Imagine a slater, a Slobber, an inskil Ink Writer, an inskil ink writer, and the others, assembled as a grid machine under the tutelage of Knute Rocke. Glenn Warner or Tad Jones. It is not hard to imagine what they would be able to do. Or take some of the present crop of athletes at Notre Dame at Hawkeye at Virginia State. Tuskegee, many others too numerous to mention, and visualize what they would do under the training and care of high class experts. Many of these boys get in only a few short practices a week—the rest of the time they are scuffing to keep in school, to subsidize them or to give them the slightest semblance of financial aid. Give these gridders a chance, and I believe they’ll stand the test with any in the nation. But at short notice, under existing conditions, they could not be expected to succeed. Old timers point to some of the teams turned out at Howard and Bluefield in past years and vow that those boys could have worked have with any opponents that they stacked up against in their time. Even Dongey, Kean, Contee and Payne were running wild for the Blues. So few were who could have stopped, and so it goes down the line. In basketball, the rooters of Morgan, Wilberforce and Virginia Seminary shout that no white college quint in the country could have stopped any of these tossers. And having seen these quints and some of their tossers, they wrote later that Race athletes in individual competition have shown that they are as good and better than many of their Nordic rivals; and, given a chance in team competition, they will do no less. Probably YOU have an opinion relative to this matter, which after all will not be a competition in the sports mentioned will be commonplace. And don't forget, that if you have an opinion in this matter, Underwood pounder will appreciate your sending it in. A RISKY THING TO DO is the way we term the chance taken by Kid Chocolate in fighting in two bouts in the short space of three days. Chocolate won the decision from Domenick Pettone on last Wednesday and on Saturday night flattened Johnny Lawson in the third round. That Chocolate is a skillful blower and fighter goes without saying, but as this colum has said on another occasion, he is going to keep fooling around with some of the mediocre boys until one of them catches him of his guard and administers a sleeping potion. And then he just do bad. Money of course must be made, and it is fine when we think of the Keed's willingness to participate on a benefit card. Some folks say that Chocolate is only 18 years old—at least he is not 21. Why then rush him headling to the end of his career when he has so much time before him? Give the Keed a rest we say, a nice long one. A INTERPRETATION GAME, that is a game scheduled solely for the purpose of explaining the 1929-30 basketball rules, will be held at the Drudl Upton "Y," soon after the Christmas vacation. Basketball lovers and fans, who insist that they know everything that is to be known about the game, might find it to their advantage to be present when this game is played. Glancing over this year's rules one finds that a player receiving the ball while in motion may take two steps, and then coming to a halt still have all the words he may shoot, pass, or pivot, before completing a third step. One also finds that in the instructions to officials, the referee is ordered to take care of one end of the court from the center circle to the basket and the umpire is ordered to take the other end from the center circle to the basket. It has been my contention for some time that two officials should be used in basketball. Why the local teams do not follow that and save themselves the wrangling and numbling that follows the use of one official, I cannot see. Maybe someone will tell me. ATTENTION SCOBERS!

When Shakespeare whiste his "Comedy of Errors" he might have had the Penn Omega baseball team missed yet the Penn Omega was more tragic than comic as the Morgan College Bears gunned out a 47-13 victory over the visitors at the New Albert, Friday night. It was simply done of trying to get the Jones, none other than Lanky, Casey and Babe, who with Jack Spencer and Pinky Clarke ran rings around the Pennsylvanians in the local institution's opening game of the season. Flashes or brilliance put color to an otherwise Bears Lack Finish Despite their victory, the Bears showed that they will have quite a bill of polishing to do before some on the rough edges of their machine are eliminated. Rapp Wheather, who re-created the contest from the sidelines, but it is understood that the ranger guard is to re-east his lot with the Methodists after the Christmas holiday. Cutie Brown, however, is lost to the "Twas Casey Jones It was Casse Jones who started off the fireworks and the Jersey boy, showing a marked improvement over his play of last year, finished a brilliant bid through the game as he flipped the ball through the fence from close range. Three times in the first half did Casse toe the foul mark, and three did he carom the ball off the backboard into the basket. The Bears showcased of their old success in passing and froze the ball on several occasions. Their criss-cross shot from the tapoff, however, did not function with the precision that it has in the past, but with Stress, the Bears have even terms with Lanky Jones, there is little wonder that it did not work so well. Omegas Miss Hasket So well did the Bears work together that the Omegas were not able to score in the game. The score at the end of the half was 21-4, the fraaters other two points coming from the foul line. Several shifts were made in the visitors' ineup but none seemed to help Cooper chord to play a scoring time. To Nelson, who proved as trustworthy as his historical namesake, Admiral Nelson, the Omegas we had the credit for most of their scoring. Nelson scored four field goals, all scored free throw, for a total of nine points. With Seydor he played a great defensive game. It was the Omegas's offense, however, that failed. With a fair passing game, they worked the ball to within scoring distance time and time again, only the Omegas' basket was too small or too far away. Pinky in Form: Pinky Clarke played an excellent floor game, drinking abd pivoting in mid-season form. Reuben Saunders and Pep 'Gibson' local bows, and for the Bears' extraaxa, they baked the Bears last year, got into the game, but none broke into the scoring column. Rufe Huckett and Little Bits Tucker were not in uniform, and the fans were at a loss to know why. Hackett and Huckett were working, offer the holidays they will be back in uniform. Jack Spencer gave evidence of improved form; which should make him a better player. Spencer played Friday night was marked with more fight than he has exhibited in previous encounters. Spencer and his team scored 13 points each, scoring honors, with 13 points each. Jack Thompson Sig for Bout with E Bout Scheduled for January 11 Champion Afikh NEW YORK.

Y.-Despite the general upheaval, readjustment and tightening up in the local broadcasting studios, Negro artists continue to furnish many of the feature acts and to be spotted in important commercial hours. However, with one exception, they are directed to the use of Negro spirituals, Southern melodies and dialect. This one exception is the "Four Dusty Travelers" male quartet, appearing in a Father Time Travaguelogue over Station WOR. This unit is in its fourth month and rates weekly as the best bet of the days program. In addition to their own program the "Four Dusty Travelers" sing the theme song for the Van Heusen Orchestra Hour, sponsored by Phillips-Jones and Company. This theme song complements stories added to the program and is therefore most important. The honor was won by the Negro quartet through an elimination contest among ten quartets, all others being white, and was awarded on the points of pure tones and clear enunciation. This explodes the fallacy that Negroes cannot sing "clean," though it must be admitted that clean singing is a rarity in ensembles. The singing of the Plantation Quartet during the Gold Spot Pals hour over WJZ may also be credited to this foursome. ROSAMOND JOHNSON ACTIVE Rosamond Johnson, musical comedy writer, concert and radio veteran, is represented several times by mixed groups and a single quartet, appearing in his various programs in addition to his established Dixie Echoes over the Columbia chain. His quartet was last heard as an outside attraction in Kenrad's Cabin Nights, commercial feature over WJZ. FALL: JOHNSON "SOLDIERING." It remains a puzzle to the public why Hall Johnson, master director and arranger that he unquestionably is, rests on his cars. Hall Johnson programs, whether in concert, theatre or radio continue the same from season and season. The program presented in Town Hall a short while ago was also a perfect reproduction of that event. The current two-week stay of the Hall Johnson Negro Choir at the Roxy Theatre, the numbers broadcast were recognized as the same heard countless times in concert and radio ventures, among them, that at the Stadium last summer. Were this aggregation less outstanding, such a great repetition would easily pass unnoticed, but in view of its prominence, the fact that the source of Negro material is well nigh inexhaustible, and that Hall Johnson has been known to do some startlingly original things, such inertia is not only incomprehensible, but unpardonable as well. AMATEURS HINDER PROGRESS. Radio broadcasting has swiftly grown to be a highly remunerative profession. The progress of the Negro singer, the teen and still, is being hampered by academers in the field. Though their intentions are doubtless good, school and college groups, by appearing over the air gratis, or merely to advertise their schools, or to advertise themselves for availability, block some organization that would reap certain and needed pay for the same service. Then, too, it lowers the standard of Negro offerings, as many school groups are traveling around singing at concerts. The work is nothing less than terrible. They manage to get by merely on the sympathy of the public. How often is a deserving organization, an organization that has studied, gained experience, and made itself a top notch singing ensemble, told that such and such a group can be secured for the sake of publicity alone. It has galled the up and coming race and has raced races that the Negro and what "has can be had for a pittance, for the love of notoriety and the desire to "snow off". If a group is worth putting on the ether it is worth To Be Own Loss ADELAIDE HALL former member of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds" company, who has returned from Chicago to New York where she is said to be in rehearsal for her own vaudeville act which is to be seen soon. money, and that stand should be taken by all who perform before the mike. NEGRO SKETCHES "TAKE." "Aunt Mandy's Chillun," a series of sketches portraying Negro life, whimsicalities and music, continue to lead the procession among Negro offerings and the imitations put on by white groups. With a short intermission, these programs have been on Station WOR since last June. Negotiations are under way for the presentation of Aunt Mandy's Childrens series of talking picture "shorts," for one of the big moving picture concerns. MUSIC USED During the past two weeks I have noted the following compositions used by orchestras, quartets, and ensembles over the radio. Burleigh's Deep "The Deep," Burleigh's Deep "The Deep," "Peler, Go Ring Dem Bells," Handy's "St. Louis Blues" (referred to as the National Anthem); Cook's "Swing Along," "Wid the Moon"; Dett's "Juba Dance," and countless renditions of "Aint' Missebavin," "Aint' Is In the Moon," and Blue Blues," by Fats Waller, and "Georgian Pines," by Jo' Trent.

BIG VAUDE CIRCUIT TO BAR MIXED ACTS Radio-Keith-Orpheum Circuit Doesn't Want Whites-Negroes Together. SAY SOUTH OBJECTS Ban May Extend to Orienta Performers also. NEW YORK—Belief that the Radio-Keith-Orpheum vaudeville circuit will soon erect a definite ban against acts using members of both races together, was expressed here this week. This jim-crow decision comes as the culmination of a long fight to bar Negroes and white from mixing in the personnel of acts playing RKO houses. Commenting on the proposed action and endeavoring to give an explanation, BILLBOARD, a theatrical trade journal, says: "The vogue of all-Negro shows, the growth of Harlem as a pleasure community for all classes and the increasing sense of being paid to shores of shores concerned with the mixing of whites and Negroes is blamed for the comparatively large number of acts in the field carried mixed casts. The race-mixing restriction may also apply to whites and Orientals, although the furiousness of the crowd is not personnel is not being given as much attention as the Negro question. "An incident in connection with whites mixing with Orientals gives some idea of how the RKO office feels about the matter, although unofficially. An elaborate flash, carrying Chinese artists and a white girl as one of the leads, was given a showing recently. The girl was aided by bookers there, their son was hitchhiking until the white girl left the cast for reasons unknown. This accomplished, the act got its due in dates, and money. Say South Objects "The attitude of the RKO office on the Negro-mixing question does not reflect in the least on the availability of dates to all-Negro acts. One undeniable reason for putting the kibush on mixed-gasts is the fact that the acts below the Mason-Dixon line. The circuit, under the new regime, has its eye on building up acts for general consumption throughout the country. It can be readily seen that an act with a mixed cast cannot receive due exploitation attention with profit to the Northern houses only. "Complaints are said to have been made to the circuit anent the few acts with mixed casts used in recent weeks. One RKO official allows that color mixing is tolerable when all the artists are blackened up. This allows for few in the average audience to be wised up to the mixing. But this same individual further points out that if all are blackened up, there is no necessity of race races. Talent among both races is plentiful enough without picking from each to make up a denit in the other. Dressing Rooms The problem of arranging dressing room accommodations without undue inconvenience also enters into the conclusion by RKO that it will not tolerate further mixing. Ida May Chadwick is now appearing in a new act with a support made up of singers and dancers from "Show Boat." Opinions have varied about this aspect of her offering, and it is not known whether the ban against mixing will be applied here. **Inject Sex Question** "Whatever might result from the CONSECUTIVE BOOKINGS Communicate with Sam.

Lew Lesis is especially enthusiastic over his new find and predicts for her an even more successful career than the former star, Klorspore. Mills, because of her great beauty and charming personality. TEMPERAMENT? When Ethel Waters appeared at the Palladium in London recently, it is said that because announcements had reported that George Black was going to supervise her songs, and that having her songs supervised by anyone, or of having it thought that anyone could dictate to her what she should or should not sing, was so decided against Miss Waters's intention that she would not alter her performance in any way and proceeded to sing, not what authorities in that particular territory knew would hit with theatre goers, sing and what she wanted to sing. but what she had sung in "Dinah" and "Dinak." "It Takes a Good Woman to Keep a Good Man at Home," and "Going Back to Georgia." (She must have been afully riled to have even sung that. For who would ever go back to Georgia if once successful in getting away from there?) However, these songs didn't go so well with her London audience, we hear. Hannen Swaffer, a nun, says that there were just about the whole turn. three small shoes. Now if anyone is entitled to throw a temperamental heebie-jeebie now and again. I guess it is an artist of the calibre of Miss Waters, but personally I can't see anything in this temperamental business when you can't popularity with the public, who after all should know you can't dictate to.

Like the oft quoted gentleman of color who prayed "Good Lord, Good Devil," there is always a way of passing the buck if the old bean works fast enough. And when it comes to skidding through a crack, on boy! we're wizards. Now who but one of us could have thought up such a gorgeous aim as this: According to what we hear, Stepin Fetchit being, according to Johnny Law's interpretation, slightly inebriated, proceeded to do a stunt or two on a Los Angeles street corner last week using the back of his car as a stage. When Stepin found himself he was in the municipal court on a drunken charge. Mr. Fetchit easily explained that to Judge Lahey. According to Stepin, he was merely trying to cut expenses by giving himself some free publicity and was accordingly only impersonating himself to the large crowd of people who had gathered to see some of his stunts. of people who know the judge, however, will think over the affair and when the trial comes up on January 6, we shall hear whether he thinks much of Stepin as a publicist or if he thinks Step was just plain stewed.

How Josephine Baker Captured Paris and Berlin By MAURICE ROCCHAMBEAU Published by the AFRIC-AMERICAN arrangement with Jack Goldberg, managing director of Gold Talking Pictures, producers of Josephine Banks's great film production "The Tale of Titanic." After her first feeling of remorse as the Berengaria glided her past the Statue of Liberty, Josephine Baker was again herself, the happy, ceresless manner which had so intigued her admirer in America returned, and it was no longer so she began on board the luxurious liner. On an ocean going liner, concerts are usually given to break up the monotony of the voyage. During one of these recitals, the little amber goddess was invited to join. This was in 1925, when the song Brown Eyed was a pop song. Joan Gossie sang a dance and did her wanton dance—and thereafter remained the chief attraction on board the boat. Paris On the morning of September 22, 1925, Josephine set foot in Paris. It was nothing like the Paris she had visioned—and yet the warmth brisk autumn morning breathed the tale of adventure and adventure the best. Unknown! The blood tingled through her veins, defiantly and speedily. A hollow ache crept into her heart for the thines she had loved in St. Louis—the home of her birth, the little basement theatre, the men singing and jabbering away while the bales of cotton were being removed from levees. She could then M. York, but the remorseless less noignant, although in that city she first made the start which fulfilled her highest Josephine wandered along the streets of Pari, aimlessly. She massed the tomb of Napoleon, and for many moments stood in ardent admiration of the man who had held the world in the palm of his hand—only to see his life's work shattered after one bloody and never-to-be-forgetten battle at Waterloo. . . Then the Arte d Triumph France's monument to its greatest heroes . . . and the Eiffell Tower . . . Josephine forgot her homesickness. So this was Paris! She loved it! A few days later, Josephine made her debut at Champs-Elysse. She was the prophesy made by a critic for the Matin, France's leading newspaper, that his review shall surface to reveal the true magnitude of her reception: "Last night at the Champs Elysee," wrote the critic, "a bronze-skinned damsel, rivalling in beauty our conception of the Queen of Sheba and Clopatra, made her appearance before an audience which constituted a wonderfull, mobility and wit. Her name is Josephine Baker. Remember the name! For it is ons that will one day soon be known wherever there is civilization! "This Josephine Baker, who arrived here a few days ago with a troupe of actors from America, captured her audience as if by magic. Never in my life have I seen anything that arose whenever she came on, and I doubt whether I shall ever be witness to such a spectacle again. Enore Josephine "Old men—young men—and, of all things, women—let loose all their emotions in one resounding cry; 'Encore, Josephine, encore!' Her dancing defies either explanation or description. She calls it the Charleson, and before long I do not hesitate to unusual attention being given to the general problem of race mixing, it is stated without hesitation that the mixing of both sexes and races will never be counternanced in any form. Case(?) Cited An example of how the mixing of Negroes and whites in shows that rotate work towards unpleasant situations is found in a present-day unit working for one of the larger circuits. The entire company is white with the exception of several Negro hoofing lads. The unit is out only about four weeks, and there is talk already of warnings from house managers and special reports to the office about patrons complaining that the Negroes are mixing unduly with the white girls and appear to be attuned, but the mixing of races has given rise, and will evidently continue to be responsible for such reactions as this".

The Baker Paris and Berlin 1 predict that everyone in Paris will be ribating to its rhythms!" Within a fortnight, Josephine had captured Paris. Her fame spread rapidly. Articles of praise began appearing in newspapers so widely scattered as Berlin, Moscow, Madrid and China. As she grew in popularity, so did she grow in wealth. She bought jewels, rightly given gowns and a mansion in the Champs, the boulevard of Royalty in Paris. In Berlin Swept on a tide such as no actor before he had over experienced. Joey the great finally landed in Berlin. Here the great Max Reinhardt saw her and brought back a contract offering her a three-year engagement: at the Koenigs Deutches Theatre, the great honor that can be bestowed upon an artist. Reinhardt told her that she would be the toast for Europe. But she could not be the toast because of a prior contract, which she had signed before leaving Berlin, to star at the Folies Bergerg. Showcred With Gifts This was in February 1926. A costume ball was given in her honor. The Berlin critics exhausted their superlatives. She was showered with gifts, including flowers from Italy, the choiceest viands, 6 lacquered chairs from China and an automobile from Germany and a vase from Holland and Ivory elephants from Russia and a pair of gold shoes. It was just Josephine Baker, the id of artists. She was made an oak in 600,000 francs appaied in Vienna. Embroidered club of London telegraphed her, asking her to write her own ticket. Amsterdam and Budapest and Buenos Ayres followed with offers, but the Folies Beregene contract still had to be fulfilled. The Top Rung And so the little brown skin who breathed the first time in an almost dilapidated shack along the Mississippi levees had almost risen to the top rung of her career. Vith m mad abandon, Josephine scaled every bulwark. Like a meteor she leaped from rank darkness to a limelight and prominence so dazzling that any other mortal would have been ruined in the process. But not Josephine! She was to ascend to greater heights. . . She was to accomplish that which no one else, not even the Nordics, have been able to equal, not alone transcend. The next chapter will deal with Josephine Baker's return to Paris to fulfill her contract with the Folies Bergere and the new heights which she achieved. Don't fail to watch for it.

"Odyssey" of course, became something of an institution and is still in the outstanding ranks. in the outset. Our confidence, based on the fact that the Negro's voice, because of its distinctive racial qualities, was peculiar added to the micro, and that punks would turn out to be a stimulating complement to regular stage entertainers, was also short lived. The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly With the exception of a few musical revues where comparatively few actors were used, our performers were not in the running in Hollywood. Negro actors, for the most part, have confined their activities to vaudeville and burlesque, and were not fitted for the more sophisticated type of drama that has been the demand this year. There have been a few exceptions to this. The chief exceptions are: Clarence Muse and Mrs. A. C. Bilbrew of "Hearts in Dixie"; Daniel Haynes and Nina McKenney of "Hallelujah"; Stepin Fetch it of "Hearts in Dixie." "Fox Movietone" Follies, and "The Ghost Talks," and Noel Johnson, who is still playing out on the coast. Miller and Lyles of "Great Day" and Jules Biedsoe of "Show Boat" should be included with this group. Shorts There has also been a sprinkling of artists doing movie shorts, among whom are Cora Green and Bessie Smith. Orchestras Orchestras and jubilee singers have come in for their share in the small pie that was the Negro's share in filmdom. Louis Deppe and his singers did "Great Day" and Louis Johnson and jubilee singers were a feature of "Show Boat." Eva Jessye's aggregation in "Halloween" is able to be mentioned in the book by the jubilee singers. Negro music has become the most popular of any one group of songs of today. Very few programs of any note, whether featuring members of our group, not, fail to contain a "spiritual two." Radio A good many of our artists find lucrative fields in the world. These run bovies, the chests, singers and the more or high brow presentations. Abroad Among the outstanding artists the foreign fields have been starring of Jo Baker in the film, "The Siren of the Tropical Ocean" the placing of Florence Cole in the title role of the opera in Italy.

Which says, "Ain't bad."

GATONSVILLE PINES—The suburban development with all city improvements. Vernon 7356. t.f. Dance Halls BY LEVI JOLLEY "Toogether we stand, divided we fall," must not have been the helper of the Musicians of Baltimore when they failed to render their services to John B. Bepine, the former John B. Bepine leader of the Famous Valley Inn Orchestra, who is out on ball for a fatal shooting. The big entertainment which was held at the new Albert Auditorium, Thursday evening, was evidence enough as to the popularity of the orchestra leader who now faces grand prize winners. "People who have not attended a dance in recent years paid admission to the affair to help the youthful musician, the jovies over the radio and to whose music they gave vent to their feelings by humming the tunes, turned into a force to the number nearly 400." The idea of giving the benefit ball was originated by Ike Dixon, leader of the "Dixon Bear Cats," and Irving Hughes, director of "Hughes Royal扑克俱乐部." Full兼容 for the good showing and the large number of musicians offering their services for a brother musician, but none appeared on the night of the affair except "The Sutherne." "Bear Cats," who furnished the music. **** Well, Christmas is just as far away as it ever was and this is hoping that all the bills for her presents are paid off. But even though the weather was in what some desired, the dance halls pursued. The matinee dances were packed, the evening affairs except those we jammed and frequently, the bills of the ticket boxes were filled. Each and every one of the affairs on Christmas were nifty, their rating would have been good had not the performances, prohibiting good dancing except the slow drag and other similar slow dances. The performances played "Forget me not," and many of them will not be forgotten. The regular old outfits like Ike Dixon, Irving Hughes, and Percy Glacier, stun their messy moves, and the gruesome combinations which embraces Harold Stepleau's "Melody Boys," Turk's "Manhattan Ramblers," Vasselle "Stompers," and as well as dancers. So far as music and attendance in dance halls were concerned it was all, ALL RIGHT. Noticeable among some in music lines are the new presentations given by local orchestras. Theike, Irving and Percy outfits who play against the nick of that town, have some new stuff. And, although official notice has been given that no decision will be rendered as to the winner, Baltimore lads made a showing. That did not satisfy the local lads for they started out right away to perfect some of the new presentations, and they began to dress in the big metropolis. So the result is that Baltimore dance ball patrons will easily distinguish the new methods the boys have acquired, and the one on the floor were preparing new stuff for the holidays. This they have discarded partly for the latest stuff from the big city. The synopistas of music here are improving. GO to it, boys, and here's a hint. Seemingly that nebulous think known socially as the waltz in this writer's belly become the most important part of the young self is concerned. Few youngsters will participate in a good old waltz, many do a two-step and prefer the faster time to the beautiful, exquisite, dreamy. Although all of the living, and doing the waltz must be given its more place in the category of modern dancers. More waltzes should be played here, and a music entertainment; instead of fox-trots to perhaps two waltzes. NEW JERSEY ASURBY PARK, NEW JERSEY ASURBY PARK, N.J.-Warren L.

CARDUI Helps Women to Health Owing to the fact that I was delegated with letters from Bridge adherents throughout the last, I am forced to forego the first, but quite brief bits of these letters. This subject will be taken up in a very short time though, through these columns. The following letter was received last week from Gaupert L. Merrigan of Lynchburg, Va.: The matter in your paper of Saturday, December 7, column 5, page 12, *Bridge Litigature*, by Mr. Merriman, is absolutely wrong from start to finish under any subject. We have a clear, concise explanation of Business and Informatory Doubles, also a fair expansion of the Bridge Glossary (Bridge Terms). We standardized and since it is in the infantry among Negroes I think it is imperative that they should have sound foundation. Play Bridge soundly, you have to have a sound concrete foundation, similar to building a house. Bridge should be taught step by step by instructors or novices are not to become confused. Try Yourself. G. Merriman M. MERRiman P.S. Please and me Mr. R. W. Tainterfero's address as I am interested in writing Bridge Articles. Thanking you very much for same. Assist Beginners. It is assumed that Mr. Merriman misunderstands the intention of these Bridge articles. They are not to teach Bridge step by step but are arranged to assist beginners and advanced students by giving them various skill points on the course try to make all the as clear and concise as possible. I appreciate very much Mr. Merriman writing this letter to the Editor of the AFRO-AMERICAN as well as the wonderful interest is being taken in Bridge by our group all over the country. His criticism as well as his praise was appreciated because it made me understand that I must be very careful what I say. I must be careful that Bridge watched closely not only by Bridge players of Baltimore, but by those in as far of place as Lynchburg, Va. After receiving Mr. Merriman's letter I reviewed the article to which he referred an compared Bridge laws and discovered that my "Bridge Eliquate" as given in that issue was perfectly correct. I replied to Mr. Merriman personally, enclosing an extract of the Laws question Bridge, pertinent to the question. The reply and the extract follow: Dear Mr. Merriman: Your favor of the 12th received and honored you; criticism very much but enjoyed you; criticism very much but as you were somewhat indefinite as to just New Year Greeting Our Pledge for 1930 Resolved:That we will continue to serve the American housewife and the home she so ably represents, in the fair, dependable manner so rigidly adhered to by us in the past.

A&P IS UNIVERSITY WHERE LOVE IS WONDER that particular thing was wrong I hardly know what I said that I was "Absolutely wrong from start to finish under any subject." I am going to ask you to favor me of the formal form of the answer of which you speak. I certainly do not want to be misleading in any manner pertaining to Bridge and if I ever do er do I enjoy people calling my attention to Bridge because I have studied Bridge under what we considered the best teachers in the country. I am just as susceptible to err as anyone else and my attention is called to an error I am perfectly willing to do. Since reviewing the article you mentioned, I noticed one sentence in the first paragraph of "Eliquetie," should read "No play with the deal." The first, two sentences in the last paragraph of "Eliquetie," should read "No play with the deal." Any player touching a card during the deal and thereby cause any card to be faced, a new deal compulsory, or a card to the sides offended. This last sentence was omitted I admit and it may be the one to whisper to the other. The rules of the game are correct and as further proof I am sending a copy of the rules pertaining to the things mentioned. These rules are the same as the rules of the game and are part of the 1986 Code of the American Whist League. If you further doubt this statement for yourself, you can copy a copy of Code direct from the American Whist League. America's final-authority prigage. Thanking you for your interest and hoping that you will write me at your own convenience. I am Yours sincerely, E. W.

By this time, know that everyone interested has played the hand given in last week's issue and is ready to see if he played it correctly. Did you make a Grand Slam? If you didn't there was something wrong with your play. It should have been played as follows. Notice carefully each play. The Hand. Declaration 3.

The following letter and questions were received from the Dunbar Bridge Club of Ulica, N. Y. Dear Sir: I am the fellow members of the Dunbar Bridge Club have been reading your articles in the AFRO-AMERICAN every month and have excelled in them and at the same time, time your appreciation for the progressive and modern attitude of the Bridge-talks. I often wondered why colored papers failed to recognize the popularity of the color gild to know our paper had the guts to start this move. We had a hand come up at our conference some pointers on it. I made a copy of this hand together, with the bidding and play, and we believed whether it was done properly. You will find the hand on enclosed paper. Do you give a correspondence to Bridge if you do not would you kindly tell me where you can secure some. Thank you for your appreciation for your editorial and thanking the AFRO for this splendid move we wish you all a very Merry Xmas! The DUNBAR BRIDGE CLUB, J. W. WINSTON, Secy.

MASSING, ND 100% Pure Coffee The BEST Is The Most Economical Also LORD CALVERT TEA Every Sip Delicious decidedly wrong in raising his Partners 1 Heart to three. To be perfectly plain, he plaited 2 Hearts. As I have been trying to impress upon you for the last few weeks, the position in which you wear the band and influence behind your hand. This certainly brings it out. North sitting in position of Third Hand should be influenced thus: His partner bid one of his shoulders showed weakness. His holding in his partner's suit bid is negative, but he has strength in Diamonds and Clubs and Spades stopped, further increasing his showed weakness. With his partner's bid of 1 Heart, and his holding of Diamonds and Clubs, the opponents must hold Spades. By the Second Hand pass he realizes that he will miss the suit in this suit and if he gets a chance will insert a Spade bid that will mean an indicating lead to his partner. (If Third Hand stops to consider he will miss the suit before he forms a to make to match.) After arriving at this deduction he must go further and calculate three essential things. First, he must stop Fourth Hand from making a Spade bid, because he must tell his partner of his negative holding in Hearts; third, he must inform his partner of the strength his hand contains in the other suits; fourth, he must partner's initial suit bid and that is by blinding Nc Trump. But if he bids one No Trump, he has only accomplished one of the three things he set out to do, namely refuse his partner's bid. He has not notified his partner of his bid, but the adverse bid of Spades, which will be an indicating lead. Therefore he must bid TWO NO TRUMPS over his partner's initial suit bid of one. Now he has accomplished his purpose. He has refused his partner's Heart, he has shut out the Adversary Spades as an indicating lead and he has strengthened partner of the strength of his hand. (Let me give you this information here: A raise of your partner's initial suit bid of one, to 2 No Trumps, shows a negative holding in the trump bid, but strengthens in the opposing one—and the adverse suit stopped at least once). By Third Hands' bid of Two No Trumps he practically tells his partner this, "My holding in your suit bid is nothing but I am strong in two other suits and have a third stopped at least once. so take your choice oblivious to the contract that advantage and productive." With this information his partner can very readily go to three Hearts and feel perfectly satisfied that he can make the company feel that he is very confidently glad that this hand came in for my consultation at this particular time. It brings out very strongly the two points I have been talking on and the INFORMATIVE BUDDING, and the INFLUENCE YOUR SEAT HAS OVER YOUR BID. THE PLAY West led fourth best Club the trey.

Though this hand was nicely played as South made only finesse possible. Does the person calling attention to his hand a penalty? What are the regal penalties? Comment The way that I would have played this hand under the contract of three hearts and with Senior Hand leading the fourth best Club, the trey, will be given in the next issue of this paper. No Such Thing as Renig Don't feel offended when I inform you that there is no such thing as a "Renig" in Bridge. You refer to "Revoke" I am sure. Also I notice you mention "Cut" quite often in your play, what takes place between the shuffle and the deal of the pack. The removing of the top portion and putting it under the bottom portion of the pack is referred to as "Cut." What you mean is "That is, trumping a suit lead." A revoke is a revoke regardless of who calls attention to it and a penalty must be taken or given up, penalty for it, for the first revoke and one trick for each subsequent revoke. Cleveland, Ohio CLEVELAND. O.-One of the delightfully interesting features on the current week's program was the vocal performance at the evening at Shiloh Baptist church under the auspices of the Ushers Board. Mrs. Lacy's voice is of a very high quality, the soprano and one of the features of her singing was her perfect coordination and clear enunciation. Very timely, she sang from the to the "Infant Jesus," which ended the program-Mrs. Lacy displayed discriminating taste in the use of head tones given to her by the audience with the audience was the "Bird of Wilderness" which was twice enclosed. An unusual group of students sang "Manthell," the Kentucky song, "The Old Maid," and the Negro Spiritual "Mary Had a Child." by Rosamond Johnson.

KOESTER'S HONEY BREAD This Pirate Takes a Prize! A ship load of Koester's is a prize laden with riches--extra richness--the priceless kind of richness which builds strong healthy bodies. Worth a Trip to the Store! By J. A. ROGERS NEW YORK—Much has already been written about "Hallejulah; King Vidor's film, and Walter White's "Rope and Fagot," but I have just seen the first and am reading the second. Since, however, just the first and am reading the second, a few general remarks about them will certainly not be out of order. Of the first it is said that many had complained and in consequence KR did not intend to discourage that he did not intend bringing out another film with Negroes in the cast. Can't Satisfy Both the complaining and Mr. complain belong to that type of humanity that it is impossible to satisfy. It is also said that the white South complaining although a single pale face is captured in the picture that it has been so often said; there is a type of "white" mind and another of "black" mind so much alike that if it were possible or them to swap roles, one could difference. As to Mr. Vidor, if he does not care to go on, we feel sure that another director will be glad to take up where he left off for his picture has shown that in the Negro actor a new power has arisen in the art of the motion Shot Through with Falsehood We have seen thousands and thousands of moving pictures“Ben Hir,” the “Kin” of Kings, a Nation of Kings“vast splendid pictures, but shot through with fake and falsehood. They stirred you while you were under their influence, but no sooner were you outside than the same great politician or great preacher. One was carried away not so much by what was said, as how it was said. It forced itself on one's mind not by its sincerity, but by its artistry. Of all the American pictures, but two have left an unforgettable impression on my mind through the years.“Driven,” a story of the Kentucky mountains, and “Broken Blossom” of London's East End, had been played by a movie, and moved you by their sheer truth, sincerity and realism. Most of the others one felt just stories—stories so stupidly commercial that, on leaving one of them, the audience realized of time and money, but worse, he had been taken for a fool. "Hallelujah" And now comes "Hallelujah," which I think the greatest of all, perhaps, because it deals with a life with which I am acquainted. I have watched and studied with intense and lovable interest, the life of the times depicted in that film, both North and South, and it was with the greatest pleasure that I saw it being unfolded again before me at the Capitol theatre, true in every detail, without the slightest exaggeration, or catering, race prejudice in order to make money. Faults, there were naturally, but they were of the construction only. For instance, the chase in the swamp could certainly have been shortened, or other mechanical effect used to create suspense there. But as to the rest, it was so true to life that I had but on regret, a very great one, that had not been the work of a Negro. And that is what many of us writers get for neglecting the material or mighty drama which lies in our own group, principally its humbler portion. For be it noted, far more touching drama can be produced from the lives of the humble than from those of the great. But it takes a man of immense sympathy to do it, and King Vidor has that sympathy. But interesting as the story is there is something of greater importance not only to us but to the moving picture art, the acting. Acting the Best The acting was not only equal to the best that has ever appeared on screen but the best that is very good as they have been, will in future have to take lessons in realism and the art of being natural from many of the Negro actors in this picture screen actors, it not the two greatest, are Emil Jen- nings and Charlie Chaplin. Daniel Haynes, in his part, is the equal in every respect of these two in theirs—just as sincere, as gifted, as free from all artificiality. Mrs. Fanny De Knight simply touched the heart, and made one feel the fullness of the word, "Mother," whether her face be black, white, or yellow. Nina Mae McKinney was a true type of the eternal feminine torn with the desire: for love, money and conquest of the male heart; Victoria Sphey, of the "good woman" type to which we all return when sick of heart at the vampires; Harry (Dad) Gray of the benevolent, forgiving kind: Bill Fontaine, the gambler and sweet-back man; Chickie, and many others we could mention would space After all of this it is not difficult to find out why some in the white South, and others in the North object to "Halleluja" although color injustices are not present. White people object to that picture, although none of them appear in it, and probably not want to be in it? They object because the very capable acting a despised people to the level of human dignity in the world, and tremble because it seems them realize what they have always feared; namely, that the black man has within himself possibilities for his self-deliverance out of their grasp. The stage, throughout all the ages, has ever been one of the mightiest factors against tyrants; and robbers. Let the objects forget that "Halleluja" deals with humble folk. If it deals with Russian peasants, or any other people, except black ones, FROM LEWIS many of us would have made it. In this same way, then, the unimproved white people and white people in other parts of the world will regard it. Of course, most of us are also looking forward to seeing more depleting these ambitions and more ad- raved side of Negro life. Scoon But we. 12,000,000 strong. ought not to expect others to take the initiative in your position. At the present time there is not a sufficiently strong while market for a picture of sort. But there will be before long, in the future, a King Will or some other white director will scoop us again. DR. KENNEDY FREED OF MEMPHIS CHARGE WASHINGTON, D. C. — Dr. Arthur E.

BY LLEWELLYN WILSON Musical interest, during the current Christmas season, centers, as usual, in the services of many churches throughout the city, many churches and small are presenting offences of much that is good in the excellent music that the beautiful spirit embodied has from time to time inspired. Most of the world's greatest composers have at one time or another written Christmas music, in some cases Sebastian the greatest considered by many to be the greatest of all musicians, has left to the world some wonderful Christmas music. George H. Hess has written a contemporary of the great Each, has left to the world as a heritage "The Messiah", choruses from which are sung among Christmas through Christendom at At present in our group here in Baltimore we have no choral groups which can creditibly sing the group's music. We are doing this being done in that direction through the effective work of our vocal teachers, and through the efforts of the choirs where progressive leaders are working smaller works of the better performers. Through the influence of the work done in the public schools, all of our younger folk are early made to appreciate the Christmas carols of many of the European countries. Unfortunately, and chiefly because there are so few recorded in musical notation, the Christmas carols of our own group are practically unknown to us. Most of the Christmas music used in our churches during the Advent season of English and American composers. Many beautiful compositions have been written by German, French and Russian musicians, but the few that have survived are just a bit foreign to our ears. Many of our anthems are from the pens of Englishmen who have migrated to America. G. Herbert Knight, a musician from Ireland, lairene Holloway, and the lamented Wilberforce George Owst. all of whom lived here in Baltimore, wrote the anthems for America. In a few good anthems from the pens of Negroes are slowly appearing in the cataloges of the best music publishing houses of this country, and as Negroes study more the art and science of composition, for, counterpoint and other kindred subjects. Radio broadcasting is becoming Subway Lunch and Dining Room quite a fashionable "indoor sport" here in Baltimore. Many of the local stations are offering opportunity to our musicians under favorable conditions without having the broadcasters to certain levels of music under the pretext of representing the typical Negro of today, keeping all the traditions of what is secondarily termed "the old South." Linwood Koger, co-operating with Station WFBR, is present writing programs which give our musical program of their own choice. Many of the artists are making their select compositions from the rich literature of race composers and so, for truly Co. Johnson, Cook, White, Brown, and Avery have produced works of which a race need feel ashamed. Negroes are not, as is commonly presumed, ashamed of their low-thickness types of musical literature, for they are in many cases intelligent enough to know that from the lowly fo-song type of musical compositions grow the master works of a later period yet to come. Yet, it does seem to change that intelligent people should expect to find every group of Negros at all times, ready, willing, and happy to sing "Old Black Joe." It seems to me that "Old Black Joe" has been singing "I'm Coming" long enough now to be getting somewhere. Furthermore, if his head "is still bending low," he, at least by this time, must have a terrible "cramp." Mr. Koger and the station he is serving are to be congratulated for the opportunity they are offering our singers and players for a hearing under favorable circumstances. The period is known as Negro Achievement Hour, and is scheduled at three-thirty on Sunday afternoon from Station WFBR at Baltimore.

American Detective, System. 2109-D Broadway, New York The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, December 28, Harlem Needs Business and Industry, Not Welfare Work Salary Earned Saturday Night Is Spent by Monday Morning. NEW YORK—An address on Harlem business, by C. Benjamin Curley, business man and financier of this city, was broadcast over WCBS, on last Sunday. Mr. Curley said, in part: "The amount of money spent by the Negroes in Harlem as consumers is considerable, but the volume of business done by them as entrepreneur of principal is negligible. "This condition would not be so distressing if Negroes were engaged in a variety of business enterprises. Time would solve the problem then. Their enterprises are so limited that there is no need as for statistics. "Apart from the professions of ministry, medicine, law and teaching, when one mention the Negroes, the beauty, cleaner and presser, grocer, druggist, lunch room, shoe repairer, insurance agent, rental agent, mechanic, laundry, he just about covers the business of Negroes engaged in Harlem. And at that, in practically all but the first three—barber, beauty specialist, undertaker, the shared just mentioned are those shared with other races. Fair Test "It seems to me that the following is a fair test of the sufficiency of an large coherent group of people— 1. Are the people involved in an important contribution to the production output of the community or of the country? 4. Do they own the property about them or do they at least control the housing situation of their community? "They own in thousand persons of any other race or nationality to the test just suggested it is quite likely they will qualify, however great the obstacle to be overcome. The Necessities "It is not an untruth to say that the Negroes in Harlem do not control or even substantially influence the necessities that they themselves require, to say nothing of serving the other people about them. If capable, experienced producers show that they are not, however, there are no financial institutions in Harlem controlled by Negroes to encourage their undertaking. Negroes are not even handling the tasks of the Negroes is the key to their very existence. Prejudice Passive "There is a very unusual opportunity in Harlem for the Negro to engage in business. Because it has the most favorable sociological conditions under which to develop. Race prejudice is present in Harlem along with racism in the general population; it is passive rather than active. Other races control all of the business in Harlem but it is the Negro's privilege to compete with any business agency that is willing to help him; he will find the competition unusually keen. He will find obstacles of every kind. But he could hardly expect to make it easy for him to do business." "Business is in the nature of science. It is not a charitable institution. It is hardly logical, then, to invest in the business to furnish money, credit and knowledge to the Negro to enable him to compete with them unless there is some attractiveness in inducement to get them to invest and knowledge of business for the use of the Negro in Harlem is the standing challenge that any Negro may accept. It is the big opportunity. The business is needed as a stimulant to business in Harlem. The population is largely individualistic. Practically everybody is for himself, the devil take the hindermost, the group conscience, and consequently The Pullman porters, under the leadership of Mr. A. Philip Randolph, are developing a labor organization. The organization has been organized by Mr. Albon Hoisey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, primarily for cooperative buying so that the small business owners can sell price of the chain store. The organization of the People's Credit Union has just this month been approved by the Banking Department of the Morris Institution on the order of the Morris Plan bank, organized on the mutual plan of belonging to the members. It is the first of its kind in the controlled and managed by Negroes. Common Labor "At present, the Negro's specialty is common labor. He enjoys that privilege through suffrage since he is own laborer and is not organized. Consequently he loses his job just as soon as anybody else comes along who is willing to do his work. He worker he is the marginal laborer. He gets the lowest salary, the fewest work hours, being the last hired and the first "fire." He can't keep the manger salary he receives a benefit from it because the Negro is not engaged in a sufficient variety of business enterprises to allow the money to circulate any time within the community. Day morning he returns to some other racial group as a consumer the wages he received Saturday night. The economic situation in Harlem is is not the same as the interest of the leaders there. It is at the bottom of all the other trouble. Consequently more time should be spent on the economic situation in any other "warfare movement in the community."
