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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

But contrary we do not wish to lose our racial identity, but rather preserve it; we are proud of our history, for the Pyramids and Sphinx along the riverbank, when Abraham went down from Ur of the Chaldees into Egypt were built by our fore fathers. Our history runs back to the Hykos and it' Rameses King.

Church, was introduced to an audience in Little Rock, Arkansas, recently when the nation's who spoke as follows: "Bishop Vernon came to Arkansas in May and found a shipwrecked diocese. He has salvaged the remains, and since May he has raised Shorter College and served for Christ's sixth annual conference, just completed his sixth annual conference."

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.

Old St. Louis County Co. House Claimed by B. When City Abandons it CLAIMS WILL VIOLATE Famous Case of Dred S. Slave, Inflamed Nation. ST. LOUIS, Mo.—(CNS)—The St. Louis court house where the decision freeing a slave—co. Scott—was returned, will soon abandoned, but it may be re- an historic landmark if the b. donors are successful in it to regain possession of the pre- now worth $1,000,000. The site which is to be the of the suit for the recovery property was given to the em- pire citizen of that period. J. n. casas and Auguste Choutieu insigning the property to the cai- specified that it would always for the site of the county count Legal opinions advanced a case differ. Some believe that the property can be recovered because it not be used in the future, the property city for use as a county cess- St. Louis is longer in a year. They claim that the suit should not have been separated from my county were separated. Auction Block Its steps were once used in a auction block for slaves and hundreds of its chambers the slave, Dedrick was adjudged a free man. The attention and was undoubtedly the most celebrated case ever tried in its walls. It was a test of a claim that because his master taken him to a courtroom where the judge man and could not be inherited a chattel upon the master's docket. Supreme Court Reversed Dedrick. 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.

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.

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.

At glancement of the women both beamed, flung toward the door. Were shrimp cry Lisia was up in Mia arms. Between them and Prince Dagar, new armor appeared. 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.

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.

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?

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. Simpson are out to contain the Nanking event and the butchery of Chinese workers." Want 5-Day Week The Communist Party is an organization which fights in the interests of the oppressed masses.

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!

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.

BIG VAUDE CIRCUIT 10 BAR MIXED ACTS Radio-Keith-Orpheum Cireuit Doesn't Want Whites-Ne- groes Together. SAY SOUTH OBJECTS Ban May Extend to Oriental 4 Performers also. NEW YORK—Relief that the Ra jdio-Keith-Orpheum vaudeville cir cult will soon erect a definite ba against acts using members of bot! races together, was expressed her this week. ‘This jim-crow decision comes @ the culmination of a long fight tc bar Negroes and while from mixin th the personnel of acts playing RC \ouses. ‘Commenting on the proposed ac: tion and endeavoring to give an ex: planation, BILLBOARD, 2 theatrica trade journal, says: “The vogue of ali-Negro shows, the jgrowth of Harlem as « pleasure com: Mmunity for ail classes and, the in- orepsing aitention being paid by pop: Ular authors to themes concerned with the mixing of whites and Ne- frees is blamed for the comparative ly large number of aets in the field carrying mixed casts. ‘The race-mix- jing ‘restriction may also ipply. to whites and Orientals, altho this fea- ture of the new concern over act personnel is not being given as much Rttention as the Negro question. | "an incident in connection with whites mixing with Orientals elves some idea of how the RKO oiflee feels about the matter, although un- officially. An elaborate flash, carry- ing Chinese artists and a white gir! as one of the leads, was given 2 showing recently. The act was liked by bookers, but there was some hitch in action until the white girl left the cast for reasons unknown. ‘This ac- complished, the act got its due in dates and money. Say South Objects “The attitude of the RKO office on the Negro-mixing question does no: reflect in the least on the availability of dates to all-Negro acts. One un- deniable reason for putting the ki- bosh on mixed-easts Js the impossi- bility of playing such acts below the Mason-Dixon line. ‘The circuit, under the new regime, has its eye on build- ing up acts for general consumption throughout the country. Tt can be readily seen that an act with a mixed cast cannot receive due ¢x- ploitation attention with profit to the circult if it can only play in the Northern houses. OK. if Backed U “Complarnts are sald 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 audi- ence to be wised up to the mixing. But this same individual further points out that {f all are blackened Up there is no necessity of mixing Faces. ‘Talent among both rares. is plentiful enough without picking Irom each to make up a dencit in the other. Dressing Rooms “The problem of arranging dress- sug room accommodations ‘without undue inconvenience also enters into the conclusion by RKO thet it will not tolerate further mixing. Ida May Chadwick is now appearing in a new act with a support made up of sing- ers and dancers from “show Boat.’ Opinions have varied about, this as- pect of her offering, and it is not Known whether the ban against mix- ing will be applied here.

So accurate was the prophesy made by a critic for the Matin, Prance's leading newspaper, that his’ review shall suf- fice to reveal ihe true magnitude of her reception: “Last night at the Champs Eivsee,” wrote the critic, “a bronze-skinned damsel, rivalling in beauty our con- ception of the Queen of Sheba and Cleopatra, made her appearance be- fore an audience which constituted the cream of French nobility and wealth. Her name is Josephine Ba- ker, Remember the name!

Within a fortnight, Josephine had captured Paris. Her fame spread rapidly. Articles of praise began gp- pearing in newspapers so widely soattered as Berlin, Moscow, Madrid and China.
