1930 BISHOP HURST IS SUGGESTED FOR HAITIAN PROBE Norman Thomas Tells Open Forum that He Should be Appointed. Gives Opinion as to Sort of Person Needed. "Because," he said, "Bishop Hurst could speak with an understanding of the Haitian situation white men could not learn." Norman Thomas, speaking at the Open Forum (2) Lyceum Theatre Sunday afternoon, suggested that the prelate be included on the commission to investigate conditions there. Mr. Thomas, who was Socialist candidate in the last presidential election, declared that, because of their race prejudice, Americans are the qualified of races to deal Haiti. Liberty Fading "Liberty is growing less in this country," the speaker declared, and added that no one can deny that our courts have taken steps to address segregations and that even religious leaders lack courage to speak out boldly against growing evils of inequality. The name of the Bishop Hurst is also suggested for membership on the commission to Haiti by the N. Y. Nation in its current issue. The bishop, who is head of the successor of the Church, spent Christmas with his family at his residence, 1008 West Lafayette avenue, in this city. He was born in Haiti 66 years ago, attended the University of Washington as the Hannibal Price, and served as such from 1889 to 1913; pastored Peters and Bethel Churches in Baltimore; was financial secretary of the Hannibal Price, and served as such from 1912, and was pastored Bishop in 1912. Could Have Negro Member be a good idea to have a Negro center on the Haitian Commission. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! He should not be appoin- mented merely because he is a Negro, but because he is qualified for the work he should not be a politician who is organizing his friends to gain the first opportunity, will sell out at the most opportunity. "He should be strong, virile, inflex- ible, courageous, and able. A man decalled Johnson of Washington on James-Weldon Johnson of New York." Bishop Hurst declared himself with the title Bishop Borno; and Hammal Price, 2nd, whom the President of Haiti called in to take over the administration during the recent disaster, is the son of the Bishop's parron who brought him to Washington as legation secretary 40 years ago. President Borno, the bishop admit- ed is not positive and is too easily asked if he were too busy to ac- cept membership upon the commission if proffered the place, the bishop said. "Not too busy, but too old, may- be." At the same time he admitted that commissioners who do not understand the native language would be at a disadvantage in Haiti. SANGLEES, Calli—Declaring other husband. Booker T. Wash- ington, Jr. son of the famous edu- cator, has continuously told her that he was died of being met at the door of gray-haired woman and had admitted that he had visited further cruelties upon her in the way of blows, rages and other women. Mrs. Washington fied a cross-complaint for divorce there last week. The action follows a suit for divorce the husband, in which he charges the couple that he been too friendly with Sharkley Blodgett.

Heffin as a candidate for re-election on the 1930 ticket. The reason for this was to punish Heffin for his role in banning the regular ticket and opposed Al Smith when he ran for president. Since the opposition of the regular democrats developed the KKK, Man of the state has come out for Heffin and the Age suggests that the G.O.P. might feel it is an opportunity to take Heffin into the Republican party.

CHICAGO. — The Windy City's newest "racket" cropped up here recently in the marriage license bureau, when it was found that race men are being refuged marriage license certificates until they are identified by one "Parson Jones," an employee in the bureau, who identifies them for $10 per. It also developed that marriage license clerks are refusing colored men license certificates until they bring their prospective brides with them.

Swetzer was made defender of the Circuit court on December 19 by attorney Henry C. Ferguson in behalf of Robert Bradley who was refused a marriage license by clerks in Mr. Swetzer's office. On December 19, Bradley applied to the marriage bureau for a license to marry Miss Gey Nell Fitzgerald and was refused the certificate until he was identified and until he brought his prospective bride into the office with later attorney Ferguson pressed the clerk for a reason for this refusal, it was explained that no licenses would be issued to colored men to marry white girls and that in order to marry a white girl, the clerk had to receive certificates until both parties appeared in person. Since there is no law against interracial marriages the matter will be contested, according to the attorney. minister. The university conference, of which Rev. D. Z. Jackson, pastor of Liberty Baptist church, 27th and Dearborn Sts., is president appointed a committee at its meeting at Olivet Monday to investigate the conditions. According to Rev. W. H.

TUSKEGEE, Ala.—Ten persons, seven colored and three white, were lynched in 1929, according to records for Texas 3. Florida leads with four Texas 3. This is one less than the number 10 for 1928; six less than the number sixteen for 1927, nine less than the number sixteen for 1928, and seven less than the number seventeen for 1925. Six of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, five from jail and one officers of the law outside of jails. There were twenty-seven instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings; three of these were in Southern sitas, two in Southern sitas. In twenty-four cases the prisoners were removed or the prisoners augmented or other precautions taken. In three instances, the officers were taken to a house would-be lynchers.

In three instances, the officers were taken against the ten persons lynched were: rape, three; writing insulting notes, two; murder, one; wounding man in altercation, one; wounding officers of the law, two; charge not reported, one.

Among the reasons given for the lynchings were: A dispute over the about work, which resulted in a stubbing; associating with white women and writing letters to white women. But 3 Attacks on Women In "In Three out of twelve lynchings was an attack on a woman given as extinguishing cause. It should be borne in mind that the record shows that there were many other reasons. And an accusation of this kind is far from proof. In fact, we have reason to believe that Negro lynchers for other causes charged with attack on a woman, the mob thus attempting to lend some color of justification to their action. "One of the mob victims, a seventy-two-year-old colored man, was brutally done to death, his hands being severed and himself then thrown into the Swaukee River and drowned, because he was killed to have been shot by a police officer in the man. Barbarity can go no farther than this. It should again be pointed out that not a single borer has been punished during 1929" WOMAN DIES FROM "CONJURE" SPELL Doctor Refuses to Sign Death Certificate in Case Where Superstition Kills Woman.

Johnson has been on the commission, Liberia and the League of Nations are to appoint the other two members. So great is the anxiety of Liberians that they expect members to arrive with every ship.

"To the AFRO Mr. Faulkner said: 'In Hamburg I saw articles in Liberian newspapers, condemning me and denying my statements, declarations and his control of affairs. 'Denials are not definite, only general statements that my assertions do not state in any instance what I have said. So those who have not read the newspaper articles are ignoring what I wonder what they can be. If Liberian papers were to repeat what I have said every man in the country would say Faulkner has told the Seeks Whitewash "President King is wiser than his supporters. He has, as far as I can learn, said nothing but has been very engaged in driving ways and means of whitewashing the investigation. "Pr. example, at the annual gathering, King gives them a donation. This is the donation of the Legislature. When he gives these donations there is no record of its being for the laborers on the road. This compensation for 100 men for 9 months' service.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich.— Citizens of this city relit the arch of history of those stirring days when Abraham Lincoln struggled through the problems of slavery when they replaced the crumbling tombstone at the head of the grave of Sojourner Truth with a bronze plaque, here RECENT The plaque is six feet high and will be within a shelter of lasting recessions, recessed with a canopy and seat; at each side like the arms of a chair. A bronze inscription will tell of her life and work. Advised "Ahe" Born a slave, passing through its embrace with her brothers and kin, she was by sale from her in early 1818. Our own christian mother, her sold, she loved and sent away, she knew the great human tragedy of slavery, and it was she, perhaps most of us who gave to Abraham Lincoln the gift of manhood into this regime in human chattel. When she gained her own freedom under the slave act of New York, where she was born, she became one of the household of Colonel Anthony of Ulster County. New York she plunged into the abolition movement and became one of the first women to be born "Isabelle," but chose the name of Sojourner Truth in her desire to leave everything associated with the house of bondage behind. She became one of the first women of her time and her name went down into history with such contemporaries as General U. S. Grant, William Wilson, and Joseph Beecher Stowe, B. Anthony and others. Made Town Famous Sojourner Truth went, to Battle Creek in 1865 and bought a small home there. She is credited with being the first person to bring national attention to this famous health town from her she wore up and on the length and breadth of the country in her fight against slavery. She died here in 1883. The invasion on the marble tombstone ended at the time reads: In Memoriam Sojourner Truth Jan Slave in Ulster State John Stone in 18th century.

CHURCH HONORS DEPARTING PRELATE Bishop and Mrs. M. H. Davis are Guests of Honor at Testimonial. 600 PRESENT Various Church Bodies Unite to Pay Tribute. With regret, yet with a sincere wish for a "bon voyage," more than 500 persons assembled Monday evening to a testimonial of honor at the St John A.M.E. Church to pay tribute and to bid good-bye to Bishop and M. H. D. Harris, who leave January 4 for missionary work in Western Africa. In response to the many words of appreciation for his service to his mission, he was represented. Bishop Davis said, prayed hard to be a bishop, and I will go where God sends me. There may have been a time when he was not given the gift of His spirit, my mission is where he commands." Inspired by Dr. Hawkins Speaking of Dr. John R. Hawkins of the A.M.E. Finance Department, Bishop Davis related how he was inspired by an address by Dr. Hawkins to be something in the A.M.E. church. "I have been helped," he continued, "by associo on with Bishops Gaines and Hurst. I was first made president of the impressions of his experience, in an effort to learn from them; the work of the office of a bishop in the church of God. Bishop Hurst and Bishop Gaines impressed me with the impressions of this office. I forget the turbulent trip to Africa when I think of my mission, which is to help my fellow man instead of pulling him down." Bishop A. L. Gaines presided at the assembly. Bishop Praised "My acquaintance with Bishop Davis" said Dr. J.R. Hawkins, of the A.M.E. Finance Department, "has been a friend of mine. I have known him has caused more of a feeling between us than just one of mere church relationship. I am happy to pay tribute to one who is so honored as he. Anything that I have done to him, would be grateful, however, without paving like tribute to his wife, who has lived and worked with him, and has made it possible for him to be where he is now. The lithe system of which he is the Methodist preacher, breaks up the home, puts him to work every four years where he must begin over anew, requires a brave man. But it takes a braver woman. It takes necessary in a church of this kind. "We want Bishop Davis to speak as our representative. We want him to feel that he is the representative of 15,000,000 ambitious Negroes who Rev. E. T. Addison, presiding elder, speaking in behalf of the Baltimore Conference, said, "The Baltimore Conference, for the past 100 years, has been an important venue for our people and for the development of our race. It is characterized by the principles of the Nazarene. The Baltimore Conference wishes Bishop Davis and his wife a blessing in her life." The Presiding Elders were represented by Dr. J. R. Nelson, who said the bishop and wife would carry the praveres of all the presiding elders to St. John the Apostle elder, who was replaced by the Ebenenezer, which then rendered a selection. Rev. C. H. Fountain, pastor of the Annapolis church, said in part, We hope for the bishop and his wife a blessing and pray God's blessings upon both." Wife's Sacrifice "When Bishop Davis goes to Africa," said Rev. W. H. Thomas, "his wife is making an equal if not greater, sacrifice." Rev. H. E. Waldon, "I had the pleasure of assisting in the election of Bishop Davis. Some things we do and some we regret. We should, should call me before the Episcopal Church. I would tell them I would do the same thing again." "When you sail the Atlantic in a few days, call W. A. Austring, "a few of our patients shall go with you. We shall stand with open arms to greet you on your return to us." Rev. D. E. Price said in part, "When I am M.E. I am trained in man of course training, character and achievement comprehended its ideals and purposes, no man measured more fully than our honored guest. Tonight we reaffirm our commitment to the service. We wish God to preserve, protect and guide you and your wife and children through the coming years." Dr. Ernest Lyon, ex-minister to Liberia: "Integrity enters into the composition of a real man. He must also have intellectual qualifications too, he possesses the heart of spirit, he possesses the common sense, Bishon Davis has all these qualifications." The Laymen of the church were represented by W. L. Fitzgerald, who said, "Bishon Davis and his wife will have our prayers and our hones as he tolls in the Dark Continent." W. H. C. Brown also represented the laity. the last. Mr. J. K. Mavel the presentation to Bishop Davis. Mrs. Davis Presented Mrs. Davis was presented by Mrs. Hurst, who declared her appreciation of the tributes. Her few remarks were addressed by the response of Bishop Davis.

Their plans contemplate a week at Palm Springs, a motor trip from there to the San Bernardino mountains and the lake regions and from there to Anaheim for opening of the racing season. They breakfast in the Nelson garden. The former Broadway beauty and Hollywood film star referred to her romance as a happy marriage. She also took exception to a recent magazine article, entitled, "Dara Lowe." 'My attitude in marriage is the direct antithesis of that taken by the author of the article.

Bain, writing in the New York Tattler, tells the following story of Nelson's wooing of the Hollywood star. He said it was on one of these occasions that Nelson was making "whoopee" at a birthday party in honor of Marilyn Miller, famous stage and screen beauty. One of Dr. Nelson's Harvard class, too tough to disregard the color question and who at that time was Miss Miller's "best boy friend," had passed the word about the birthday event, as it was going to be held and where. The word was all that the doctor needed because as all the theatrical folk knew written invitations are seldom ever sent out to their private par Hook or Crook By hook or crook, the doctor arrived at the place, checked his hat, and then attended lady to engage a dance. She accepted him without question. They danced a second time and a third time, and she invites the lady's escort found it necessary to excuse himself for the evening "on urgent and important" business. The doctor used to laugh when he told how he persuaded the lady that he had a Marmor speedier waiting for her. The lady allowed him, to escort her home. That was the beginning of nightly calls at the theatre which lasted through and through additional shows in which the lady starred. Eventually, they were secretly married in Los Angeles to live apparently quite happy. NATIVE HEADS LAGOS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LAGOS, West Africa. — Peter J. C.

CHURCH PROMISEST NEW HOSPITAL Duke Foundation and Rosenwald Agree Upon Newbern, N.C., Project. DUKE GIVES HALF New Institution to Serve 290 in Community. NEW BERN, N.C. (CNS.)—With news that the Rosewald fund has agreed to donate assistance with addition of funds from the Duke Foundation and the Epicopal Church, the local community is elated over the proposed new Negro hospital which is virtually as urban as city. The dioceses of East Carolina meta a survey of its colored work three years ago to discover the needs of the field. It was found that one of the churches could render, would be to provide some form of hospitalization for the 280,000 Negroes within the bounds of the diocese. A committee on the survey of which Rev. R.L. Johnson rector of St. Cyprian's Church of this city, was chairman, was approved by Bishop Thomas C. Daref and the committee of evaluation of Wilmington was chairman. The unanimous indorsement of the annual convention was given to the plan. Duke Promises Hair Since the 1970s, there has been in conference with Dr. W.S. Rankin of the Duke Endowment and Dr. Michael Davis of the Rosenwald Fund. It is now highly probable that the Duke Endowment will provide the construction and equipment for the hospital. The Rosenwald policy, which was unsettled has not been formulated and in its present shape will include the use of such equipment as the one the Episcopal Church plans for this dioceses. Church Gives At the request of diocesan authorities the national council of the Episcopal Church has allotted to the undertaking a definite amount in the church for 1930. The rest is to be raised throughout the church and Bishop Darst has appointed the Rev. Johnson the agent of the diocese for this address. He has agreed to addresses in New York and Philadelphia.

Creamulsion is a medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, crossose is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for coughs from colds and bronchitis. Creamulsion contains additions to crossose, other healing elements which soothe and the inflamed membranes, help the irritation, while crossose goes on to the stomach if the crossose is ingested into the blood, attacking the cause of the trouble and checks the growth of the cerms.

Va. — The Piedmont Sanatorium, an institution which relies upon the state and the donations of sympathizing individuals, organizations for its support, is sending out an appeal for donations. The primary needs of the institution are, a few free beds for unfortunates, a ward for the sick, a ward for the men's ward to keep out the intense heat in summer, and rocking chairs to replace the little stools now in use. Among other things mentioned is the conditions of the nurses' ward, compressed for comfort. With the addition of a child's pavilion, provision for the care of a large number of children could be made. A few benches and swings added to the visitor's annex would be relieved the crowded condition there.

WHITES STOPPED RACE INDIAN MIXTURES Black and Red Men Fraternized for Over a Century in Peace. RECALLS SEMINOLE WAR Black and Red Fought Side by Side. PHILADELPHIA. — (CNS.)—Lawrence Foster, a graduate of Lincoln University, who is seeking a degree of doctor of philosophy, has chosen as his subject "The origin and development of Negro-Indian relationship, as they pertain t othe Negroes of Oklahoma and neighboring states." The admixture of the Negro slave and the American Indian, beginning early in the nineteenth century, has given rise to a curious situation in Oklahoma. There, one man may be legally "Indian" and enjoy the full legal status of unrestricted citizenry, while his blood brother, with the same mother and father, may be legally Negro. Even more than this, the latter may be forced to endure utter exclusion from the community. Mr. Foster, who has revealed the anomaly after three months of field investigation in Oklahoma to climax a period of years of literary research in the library of the University of Pennsylvania. Beginning about 1812, he says, the white people in the Carolinas held Negro slaves, while the Spaniards in possession of Florida had none. Because of oppression and slavery, the Negroes escaped to Florida, and great numbers of them crossed the line and were free. Some however, had been bought by the Indians and so still were slaves. Once among the European colonies of Florida the Indians found the Seminoles in India, a name that means "run-aways." Perhaps because of their own misfortunes, which had forced them to flee to the swamps for safety, the Seminoles took the escaped slaves to their bosoms and made Friends and equals of them, says Foster. A friend friendship grew up and the Negroes and Indians communed together and lived in blissful ignorance of internal strife. They intermarried and produced a mixed racial strain; the Negroes were of pure extraction and those of hybrid characteristics. This state of harmony was not destined to last for long, however, for when the United States purchased Florida the legal owners of apples and grapefruit, they sought and gained permission from the Government to force their slaves to return. Armed missions were sent out, and the Seminole Wars followed. But so intimate had the relationship with the Indians according to Foster, that instead of standing cack and watching their guests dragged again into slavery, the Indians protected the Negroes and gave their lives for their freedom. The two groups fought side by side, for the life of the people, to become the natural cause of the other. "Contrary to general belief," says Poster, "it would appear that in the Seminole wars the Negroes were just braver, and were dugged by officers of the United States Army to be the real backbone of the opposition. If this is so, it advances the Seminole wars and depicts the Seminole Indian in a far more favorable light than that in which he appears as a renegade and a constant source of violence. Such a situation that armed forces were dispatched to silence him. Regardless of their cause, however, the Seminole wars lasted nearly a century. The Indians were "induced" to go West. The "inducement" was virtually irresistible force, according to Foster, who places the movement at about 1830. Oklahoma was then still an Indian state, and it was there that the tribes moved. About the same time similar incidents were happening in other states, and the result was that Chootasatsi, Cherokee, Cherokee-sippi, Cherokee, and Greeks and Seminoles from Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. The word "Oklahoma" in the name of the tribe, means "Home of the Red Man." For nearly a century after this migration, the Indians and Negroes still lived in perfect harmony and equally, according to Foster. They were intermary and found no blueness on the face of the earth to mar their happiness. But with the start of the twentieth century, the white man began to exert his influence. He tried to prejudice the Indians the same prejudice he himself felt toward the Negro, says Foster, and finally found a way to enforce his desires when Oklahoma acquired the right to legislate effectively at that time. It is said, granted full privileges to the Indian, but denied as many as possible to the Negro. As Foster quotes it, the law said that the Negro, with "one single drop of Negro blood in his veins" should be legally a Negro. Many of the crossed strains, however, succeeded in covering up the Negro blood, while others did not. Thus arises the prejudice of Negro and Indian as full brothers. There are still social relations between them, as formerly, says Foster, but the Indians are getting farther apart. The French, the Negro, as the white man bends them to his way of thinking. His study, Foster claims, is important anthropologically, because it shows how the French have on culture in general. The two dark-skinned races drifted together naturally, he says, and then were rented to the French man's law, which ruined fraternalism and inculcated prejudice. Northern "U" Head at Baptist Association "The only method of keeping the Baptist denomination in the foreranks of religious activities is by combined strength," declared the Rev. Winston, speaking to the Baptist Missionary Association of Maryland, at their weekly meeting, Tuesday. Rev. Winston, who was former president of the association and is now head of the Northern University Branch, N.J., urged a more united team among the leaders of the denomination.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 4, 1930 THE CHURCHMAN --- WHY THE WHITE CHURCH IS A FAILURE How colored and white people, segregated in church, sat together at a prize fight, in Charlottesville, Virginia, is told in a letter sent to the N.A.A.C.P. by Dr. James H. Hunt, the founder of James Jones Fund. Dr. Dillard, labeling the story "A Christmas Conundrum for Saints and Sinners," to which only sinners can give the answer, writes: "A few weeks ago in the parish house of Christ Church in Philadelphia, the representative of the Episcopal Church Institute for Negroes, spoke in behalf of these church schools. The colored people of the audience sat so high up in a gallery that I did not know that there were people in the church who had no provision for them, even by separation, on the main floor. "Last night George went to a sparring match in the armory before he got back, he came up to my room to tell me that he had seen an illustration or race relations, or students or women, were students from the university and some of the 'best' people in town. There were whites and colored people. There was no divider in the seats. Anybody sat by anybody. Community Church. The first Community Church, ever established in Jersey City began services December 15th. It will be dedicated January 19. The church property which is at the Community Paw Ave., is valued at $100,000. There are 150 members, and among its activities will be a welfare home for boys and men, an effort to better housing and health conditions of the community, and help in the adjustment of the offenders through visits to the courts. Rev. W. A. Byrd the founder, was formerly president of the Cotton Plant Academy, and has pastored in Rochester, N.Y. He was the pastor of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in Jersey City. Emancipation Day. The Emancipation Day exercises, marking the sixty-fifth anniversary of the Negro's freedom in March 1865 in Mark's M.E. Church, New York, December 29th. The program was arranged by Cleveland G. Allen. Among the speakers were Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's and Floyd Calhyn. Bishop Broks in Houston Bishop W. Sampson Brooks ran up to Houston, Texas. from his home last week-end to lecture and exhibit motion pictures of his travels in the Holy Land, at Brown Chapel AME.CO. (Credit: Bishop Brooks surprised his audience when he told them that he had traveled the ocean twenty times. Credentials. The Rev. W. A. Tutt, formerly pastor of Thompson Avenue Baptist Church, Detroit, in 1927, and more recently pastor of First Baptist Church Charlotte, N.C., resigned his pulpit to take charge of Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. Charlotte In the differences between pastor and deacon board it became advisable for the pastor to show his credentials. The letters he exhibited included one from the Harwith Company, of Detroit, Michigan, which sold him an automobile, a city inspector of Detroit, who said he knew the Rev. Mr. Tutt but "believed him to be a good man and an energetic worker," and finally one from R. G. Pollard, president of Selma. Ala., University, which cited the fact that he had been graduated at Selma and proven himself a successful pastor in Alabama. Of these three letters of recommendation, only one of them is worth while. Certainly a city inspector and an automobile service station might give prestige in recommending a mechanic or a clerk, but their recommendations mean very little when it comes to a minister of the gospel. Invited by Governor The Rev. J. M. Williamson, president of the Rural Industrial Association, in Little Rock, Arkansas, has been invited to the capital by Governor Farnell to do social work among the residents. The Rev. Mr. Williamson will lecture and distribute copies of the "Southern Watchman," his own paper. He contends that colored people are more likely to understand the unrest in the rural and industrial districts is due largely to the methods of teaching and training them. He will urge colored people to remain in South, where he said understood by their good white friends. Only such a "welfare worker" could be invited by the governor of Arkansas. Ethics of the Interim. Pastors who wish to keep abreast of the times and know what is being written in the field of religion will be called "Literary Writers of Christianity," by Harry Elmer Barnes, published by the Vanguard Press. Those who wish a still briefer gift to read the book "Literary Writers of Christianity," by Harry Elmer Barnes, published by the Vanguard Press. "The author believes that the time has come to throw overboard a great amount of worn-out theological baggage. "How can it make men better to demand that they believe things that are not true, that what possible validity to the modern world are moral ideas formulated by a Teacher whose first postulate was that the end of the world was at hand." "Dr. Barnes believes that the time has come to abandon Jesus as a counselor and to set up a way of life that shall be based, not upon resignation, however noble, but upon hope. He has quered his world, but he has at least got far enough to be beyond despair. "No sensible person believes any more than the way Doom is at clinging to an ethical scheme grounded upon that assumption?" "What is needed is a reconsideration of the whole matter, not in the light of dubious revelation and chilliness, but in that of established facts." The congregations that our ministers serve are fairly immersed in the old time religion. So are most of the ministers. The doctrine of Mencken and Browne the doctrine of medical, and the reading of it is good for who doesn't mind taking a jab now and then at the extremists.

Colored Catholic Clergy Colored Catholic Clergy. The Rev. William O. Markee, J.D. is a牢吏 Colored clergy for the colored Catholic churches. In a recent issue of the Chronicle, official organ of the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States, he says among us a colored clergy often express themselves as sympathetic towards the Krogo and as most eager for the conversion of the race, but they knowingly inform you that the do not believe that they should be admitted to the sacred ministry. "They simply lay it down as a general rule that the colored man should be admitted to the priesthood, they are sometimes advanced. But they forget to consider the all-important question, namely, whether or not God has called the youth of the Negro race to the priesthood, they are not admitted to the priestions, that in His wisdom He may choose whom He will, and that it is not our business nor that of any living person to oppose the choice of God. "You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you." "Woe to us if we stand between God and His choice! Again the prejudice of many causes them to forget that God is not governed by human respect, and is blinded by the salvation, and consequently, the youth of every people on the face of the earth to the priesthood. "Bene Benedict XV says: "Pope Benedict XV BAYS: As the Catholic Church of God is foreign to no nation so should even man yield its own sacred ministers." "The history of the Church, moreover, proves that no race has even been really converted until it has been so, according to the Negro in America is not called to the priesthood, is to say that the race is not called to redemption. On the contrary when we shall establish a colony of native priesthood adequate in numbers, we must also state that the conversion of the race is assured. The same great Pope declares: 'Wherever there exists a native priesthood adequate in numbers, we must also state that the missionary's work must be considered a happy close; there the Church is founded.'"

The bandit's largest haul, $6.66, came from the Hill Cash Market in Orange Mound. Walking into the store, he bought five cents worth of cash, then drew a pistol and lined the proprietor and four customers against the wall while he again took charge of the cash register. Two other robberies were added to the list. Bob Johnson, 917 Roanoke street, and Sam Padawara, white, 94 Trig avenue, were relieved of $7.30 in cash and a watch and $30 and a watch, respectively.

NEW YORK, (ANP.)- For the first time in the history of For the first time in the full colored representation in the assembly of Albany, Lamar Perkins and Francis Rivers took their seats in the state body It will also be the first time that a colored man has sat in the legislative halls of the Empire State for five years. Mr. Perkins and Mr. Rivers will have the moral support of a stalwart group of Harlem citizens, headed by Counsellor Pope B. Billups, from the 21st Assembly District, to nurture their inauguration for the two years Plan Judiciary Mr. Perkins has a very definite program mapped out to follow, his first fight being on the redistricting of Harlem so that the mayor may have a seat in the district. This is an establishment of a new district in Harlem for the administration of justice. This will make it essential for the election of two more judges, who in all probability will cover court proceedings, stenographers, and attorneys. New District Line At the same time, Mr. Perkins says he will seek new district lines in order that Hammett meet next elections. These thins have been fought for by other members of the race sitting in Alany, but bitter opposition killed him. The interests which Mr. Perkins hopes to aid are these of the rent payers of Harlem. A new bill against usurious rates of nawbrokers will also bring the of the new Assembly marks interests. Besides these thims, Mr. Perkins has the interests of the downtrendded nawbrokers who promise legislation to remedy the evils which infect their livelihood.

Burroughs © A.N.P. Ten Reasons Why People Join Fraternal Organizations Include Dressing Up in a Uniform and "Strutting their Material." 1. Because they get, more out of them than they put in them. They are paid to get sick. There is a class of "injners" that have very accommodating constitutions. They get sick and are paid to work. Aside from financial benefits they get fellowship, friendship, and, sometimes, worship. 2. Faternal organizations offer many of their positions only to those who meet their requirements. They be looked up to—asense of station that gets titles and degrees without having to go to school a life-time and then get only two letters. They offer a social opportunity which many could not otherwise enjoy. The Uniforms. 3. They join because they can dress up in their uniforms and regalia and get from a city as large as New York to a city as small as the material" to the strains of tantalizing, toe-teasing music played by big brass bands, looked at, applauded, and welcomed by governors and mayors and big folk who either themselves belong to something just as mysterious or know the power of men who are bound by the ties of real internalism. Heap Ses, Few Knows. 4. Because they like mysteries secrets, signs, grips, and symbols. They had them over (in Africa) home. They wrote some of their secrets on the pyramids and nobody Laser ever saw them. They told them to know something that "heap sees, but few knows." 5. Because they get a chance to practice seven days of the week some of their most important talks about the Christian Church talks on Sunday. Brothers All. 6. They join in answer to the instinctive desire on the part of all men to fraternalize and get the benefit of the common touch. They have the power to make day people are often rich in the things of the spirit and are sources of inspiration and challenge. Men lose their inferiority or superiority in the face of the reality whether in rags or race, brothers all by the good Lord's grace." 7. Men of great hearts join because they seek the supreme chance to chap the hands of sinners in stealth. They move the race with the more favored of the race never consider and charity often serves with a protest. They ignore social barriers and become members of the human race and thereby see every man as a brother. Take Up If Paid Up 8. Because they know that in the hour of distress and sickness when ever their mothers and their fathers take them up—if they are paid up. 9. To have somewhere to go and know that they are welcome. 10. To be sure that on the last room they give nice send-off and a decent burial. We really spend some time and money getting ready to die. Our odyssey represent large fellowships and funerals.

Delany, assistant U.S. attorney and recent candidate for Congress from the 21st Congressional District, New York, addressed an enthusiastic audience at Danville, Va., December 27, under the auspices of the Waldon France Post of the American Legion, B. O. Henderson, commander. White persons in the audience were hardly pleased at the frank and forceful way in which Mr. Delany developed his subject. Two mads hesitant comment when Mr. Delany said that Mr. Delany spoke truthfully and was not unfair in his attitude. Protest Not Enough Mr. Delany said: "Here we are, segregated, Jim-crowed, discriminated against, and denied equal educational opportunities. All we are not satisfied. We are tired apologizing for protesting against the injustices perpetrated against us. Nor should we apologize for recognizing and demanding those constitutions guarantees to every citizen. "We are faced, however, with a practical situation. These injustices are in spite of the constitution. What are we going to do about it? We can ask for an alleviation of these evils until the end of time, but asking will not help, but protesting it enough. "We are living in so-called civil communities. We can't fight it out with arms, but we do have some very good man if we will, but only use them." Four Weapons He then outlined four very effective weapons: 1. The active entrance of the Negro into business enterprise, 2. The ability to independently independent, and give encouragement and employment to our children who are now in school and who in a childhood experience unless we make places for them. 2. Encouragement of our children to seek higher education. 3. Develop a psychology of self-respect and self-confidence. 4. Develop an intelligent use of the franchise. $2,000 "Let a Nego get $2,000." Let a white man, North or South, know that he has it. He will come to Nego, treat him courteously, in order to sell him an automobile and get that $2,000. That Nego has something the white man wants; that while man will do anything to get that Nego, the people want we will be treated more like human beings. We will be better able to demand our rights and our demands will then be heard. Education is Here "It is not enough that we save to our children as rewards education to them," he said. "It's no fault of mine." The truth is that it is not always available but we must make it available, and you are here for it. You must set it! Afraid "It is generally: conceded that one commands the respect of others in the same way as respecting one's confidence in himself. If you have no confidence in yourself and act afraid, you will be treated as if you treat the man who is afraid of you. Vote "Here in Virginia you are permitted to vote, but your attitude is the same as that of the Negroes in other parts of the South who cannot vote. You are not allowed to vote the number of the citizens of New York City. You are either too lazy, or else you don't mind being segregated, disfranchised and denied equal education opportunities. You who does not vote need complain about these injustices. If you don't vote it means you don't care. It means that you are satisfied with your current position, you ought to know that the ballot is one of the most effective weapons of civilized man. Votes get results. Votes get right! Votes stop injustices. Those who aren't satisfied with the institutions will vote to advance them." Miss Brianna Johnson, of Philadelphia, is spending the holidays with her grandmother, MRS. LYDIA THOMPSON, of Boston, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Harriet Brianna Johnson. She will return about the middle of January. SAYS ©ANP. Notre Dame White College Students Try to Bum their Way on Pullmans. Only Three R's in College are: "Rah, Rah, Rah!" College Intelligence. This morning I picked up some curtain hooks and other pieces of Pullman car furnishings lying on the floor near my birth, and said: "Porters should be so close to belong to something somewhere." "Yes," replied the porter, in confidential undertones, "that's the result of some of that college intelligence that was in here last summer, when I was a student when a Pullman porter has actual sincere, and sober contempt for the conduct of American white college youth, and a contempt as justifiable belief or affection in this porter's contempt, it was unfounded and complete. Porter's Disgust. When I read in some magazine of Europe or America an exposure of the faculty education of American college youth, I am less than thrilled at the disgust of thisporter. European educators are telling us all along that our luxury universities, with a maximum of easy chairs, cushions, "drinks and things," insisting that students be by fire, boxing-rig manners and parked-automobile mores. Real education—literature, science and philosophy—cut the smallest figures, some of them are exaggeration; about half the army of American students would go on strike and leave our universities tomorrow if everything was taken out of the "college life" except educating and elevating activities. But, let us take a look at the crowds that impressed the Pullman porter; that impressed the Indiana, representing Notre Dame. About half of them were actually trying to "beat their way" east in the train and by the most naive and even absurd methods. Four of them tried to claim assignment to one lower berth on one ticket, two lower berths on different cars, in the washrooms, and other places, and so meeting the conductor did not keep notes. Under the Berth. They had to pull two of these students out from under the berths, where the bags belong. They were endeavoring to at least take the bags at all. One came rushing in like a madman and scrambled under a seat, even before the berths were made down, in great desperation. They had to take his life. He begged and whined for some of the passenger-strangers to please throw an overcoat or something over his protruding feet, so he could cover him. His childish desperation was actually unmany, contemptible. What had happened? He and some of the others had taken the money for their holiday and pay fares home for Christmas, and spent it on a booze party or on that last automobile outing; and then instead of taking their medicine, they were up the trip home, here they were, rushing and running about, bellowing and blubbering and begging, and whining, as all their gizards would have thought, that no go but with the others. College Ruffians. Then on further east another bunch of "college intelligence" got aboard, after midnight, when all the boys, men, women, and little children. That made no difference with them; they were college ruffians, with a bit of cheap liquor in their stomachs and a bit of money in their pockets; the porter, they proceeded to raise bedlam; singing, yelling, marching, stamping, running from one end of the train to the other, hands on shoulders and arms around them; if they were on the athletic field, they not only destroyed quiet but destroyed property as well. Three "B's" I was reminded of the wit who said that in American colleges about all they learn about "the three RS" nowadays, "not writing as one who does not sympathize with the spirit of young people. Many college students throughout the land learn that they went to school with me years ago will remember that I always led in rough, but many, play in beautiful, but very busty disregard of other people's welfare was sport. Somehow it never entered my head that I run through a hospital yelling and to run through a bush, or go to a bar, so that I could get any real joy out of insulting an old man, or knocking down a woman.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--With six different wills made by the late Mrs. Maggie E. Johnson, wife of the wealthy Carl Johnson, who died here three years ago, a perplexed court has finally interpreted them and decided on the disposition of valuable property and jewelry left by the former sportsman and grain dealer here. The estate is estimated at present at $64,123.88. Friendly Suit The settlement, which is said to satisfy all interested parties, came as a result of a friendly suit filed in behalf of a group of heirs against the General Assembly of the State, late Mrs. Johnson named in one or more of the wills; also a Trust Company named as executor. Calvin F. Johnson, who laid the foundation of the district in the old district, died without a will. Two years later his widow, Mrs. Maggie Johnson, died after a lingering illness. It was during this illness that she executed the six wills, all of them different in many respects. She was the clause giving the disposition of a little iron jockey statue standing in the yard of the Johnson home. This was willed in each instrument to Hugh Jones, white, a long-time friend of her hus- Church Benefits The General Assembly of the Presbyterian church is one of the chief beneficiaries, receiving by the court interpreter $24,000 the balances was distributed as follows: "Twenty-five thousand dollars cash to the trustees of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A."

Bane of Orchestra Leaders --- BROADWAY GETS "GINGER SNAPS," NEW MUSICAL Belmont Theatre Has Latest Race Revue to Seek Fame. MUSIC CATCHY Many Stars Grouped in Heywood Production.

BY CHAPPY GARDNER NEW YORK.—A new all-colored musical comedy "Ginger Snaps," marched down from Harlem and perched in the Belmont Theatre on Monday night, to stay just as long as Broadway and its environs will allow it. The latest musical was written by Donald Biedermann, noted composer. A "Hot Chocolate" leaves for Boston two weeks ago much speculation was rife as to just when another colored revue of high speed proportion, with tuneful harmonies, band sufficient attentions, would again be seen along the Great White Way. "Ginger Snaps" came quickly as the answer. For it brings to Broadway stars well known from previous Broadway shows and big time value lists. For the Chicago "Harlem" company, and recently starred in "Make Me Know It." Roscoe Simmons, master of ceremonies and society dancer de luxe, G. Stapar, international excelsior, dancer, Maude DeForest and others in the especially selected cast of Revue Type Fromfille Like most musicians, "miser" sticks to the well-established rule of placing together star acts, dance teams, singles and that newest wrinkle of a "down home" choir whose quaint music and well balanced singing are so appealing, which she can not steal from Negro entertainers. Stean and Lee supply the laugh punches. "Baby" DeLeon who at last has been given a chance to show her wares as a dancer of taps extraordinary, came to the club with the kid's clever. She'll soon have those sharp white girl imitators running after her insisting on being shown just one step. Excels in Music But it's in the musical numbers by Heywood that "Ginger Snaps" gets its real punch. Such stoppy, slow, and slowly one always of the name. Then there is that soft melody carried from the piano keys direct to the feet of that "Snapperette" chorus, like no white prose, but then been able to describe, let alone imitate. Some of the funny numbers that got good hands and are sure to live long after the show is gone. Are they good hands, or are they "Something to Write Home About" and "Love. Love. Love." "Ginger Snaps" to me is a darn good snappy show. I am fun from the logical originators of jazz, fun and syncapation. It should stay on Broadway on sheer merit a long time. **STAGE STAR SUICIDE** NEW YORK—(AMP)—Reports in a theatrical weekly say that Hazel Sheppard Anderson, well known theatrical performer, committed suicide with the company management. "When Do We Eat?", Stock Question of Average Player, Says J. Irvin Hughes, Director of Local Band. Trouble Makers Within Ranks Ruin Many Musical Units. Unruly and shiftless musicians, workers in any other line of business, whose only question seems to one "When do we eat?", can imagine the biggest pitfall imaginable of the orchestral leaders, J. Irvin Hughes, director of the Royal Southerners Orchestra, told the AFRO-AMERICAN this week. Mr. Hughes, one of the best known of the younger group of orchestra leaders, Erik Bok, who has also made a reputation in the Middle West, says: "One finds many who will obey while the leader is in sight, but let him turn his head, will tar and feather the one who has given them the greatest helping hand." PHILLY MIRROR "These same men want to begin and end on union time, yet they want more than union salary. They don't get something to the job they become and they marchists, and if they are fed the job and are given an extra half-hour in which to eat, they will cry out in holy horror if asked to play 15 minutes over "Other Jobs" Interfere "At rehearsal the musicians think they know more than anyone else. Some are on the job on the minute, and some come whenever they feel like it. Many have outside jobs and the result is that the leaders in the hold rehearsal are the ones in order to meet that all the musicians are there, and the musicians kick because they are fired. For five or ten dollars a week more they would leave an organization they have been with for some time figuring whether the next engage them as long as the one they have had. "If they fet an extra job while on a job they will send a substitute so that they can make the difference no matter what job they take out run out after they get set and smoke find a little ambrosia they will take a whiff of that or shoot crabs They want everything and give very little in return if someone comes in that they think understands music they play like nobody's business. Many will spar between sets if business is bad. They are careless their work, but when they lose the boss they are careless with his boss. They say that musicians are all nutty. They claim they are not, but that it is the eccentricities of genius. The higher the culture the sician, the higher the he is. To hear them talk on any subject is almost a joke for all they really know is music and half of them do not know that. Think Leader is Status Vern Lauren "Vern Lauren's on dance jobs take their jobs seriously. They will laugh and carry on through pieces, talk about this and that and thins the leader is only a statue — unless it is someone who can contend for the hand personally. Trouble Makers Busy "In every band and orchestra there is always a trouble maker. He is the one who starts all the fuss and the leaders say as soon as they rind out the mistake they matter how good a musician he may be. Many are neat but the majority of them are careless — especially the brass section — clean the instrument a year, the greatest worry musicians have is whether they are being paid less than someone else, and collectively they all wonder how much the leader is minded to pay to the leader's agent out of a contract so they can have the job themselves. "One of the hardest things for the majority of musicians to do is to be the next thing is that very few can transpose, but still with all they lack they want everything their way. Some are O. K. "I have come with a lot of musicians. Of course, some of them make a lot of money and are independent, with radio, club engagements and teaching, besides a regular job. But they are not very good bunch. Musicians are not very different from HEAR AND SEE THE BEST AT THE DUNBAR workers in any other line of business. There are a great many musicians imposed upon, which puts them in a rut. It is no picnic to play and play through their heads with all instruments that are played with the lips. And it is no picnic to keep on playing instruments where the fingers are required. It is a tiresome game. And a great many musicians are required, but there are times when they should be more pitted than censored."

SENATE TO ACT Leaders Agree to Vote Commission Hoover Asks. WASHINGTON, D.C.-Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations, sees no necessity for an investigation of conditions in Haiti, but says that if it fails the President he will not oppose it. The Senate committee on foreign relations will act early in January on the Porter resolution, which has already been passed by the House, proclaiming the creation of a commission of seven members to investigate conditions in Haiti and report their findings with recommendations to the President and the Congress.

HAMPTON, Va.—More high school pupils know about Roland Hayes, tenor, and Paul Laurence Dunkar, poet, than about Frederick Douglas' abolitionist, according to a recent survey made by Thomas I. Dabney in three Virginia city schools and sixteen rural schools involving 497 students. The survey is published in the current Southern Workman. The fact that only three city high schools were included and that a few of the best rural high schools were omitted, and further, that the majority of the students taking the test were in the eighth and ninth grade, may prevent the survey being regarded as also other representative. But, it does indicate to some city pupils' lack of history. No. schools in which tests were given. 67 No. students acquainted with: Frederick Douglass ..... 345 Phyllis Wheatley ..... 20 Crispus Attucks ..... 182 Robert Billott ..... 210 Sojourner Truth ..... 113 Nat Turner ..... 210 Harriet Tubman ..... 154 Toussaint L'Ouverture ..... 101 Booker T. Washington ..... 169 Paul Laurence Dunbar ..... 252 Florence Mills ..... 78 Roland Hayes ..... 287 Carter G. Woodson ..... 193 W. E. B. DuBois ..... 208 Matthew Henson ..... 124 George W. Carver ..... 128 Charles Gilpin ..... 150 Maggie L. Walker ..... 191 Who Founded Tuskegee? The test revealed the lamentable fact that 119 of the students did not know who founded Tuskegee and only 45 knew the Negro athletes who played in the old school games. But 86 knew that Dr. Aha LeRoy Lockwon won a Rhodes Scholarship and studied abroad before the World War. It was disheartening to learn from the survey that 380 students from the school were acquainted with the activities and activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, while only 65 were acquainted with the objects and work of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Crippers. 65 of these students have pictures of Negro leaders in their homes; and it is similarly interesting that the same number have the picture of Booker T. Washington in their homes. 65 of the high school students (7 percent) had read one or more Negro books.

It was apparent that the dance was in a place. But Saturday evening dying only too quickly into the morning hours of the Sabbath day, the dance was forced to close. With purple and yellow as the basic colors, the hall was transformed into a scene of grandeur and beauty. Streamers of paper of the above named colors floated gracefully across the hall, while stately ferns and lilies swayed in the breeze. Suspended from the ceiling in the center of the room, hung a revolving ball, flashing brilliant lights of various colors. This effect tended to the effect of a double shadow of coloring alternately, and at the same time giving full view of the many beautiful gowns of the latest creation.

Eighteen enacts, instead of eight, as stated by Mr. Gardner, appeared upon the Hands' Union, the curtain had to be down at 11:30 to avoid extra expense; this prevented the appearance of several star acts, the members of the Hands' Union, ready and willing to make an appearance.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1905) The Boston Guardian: is one of the most imp impleible enemies of Dr. Booker T. Washington, we nominate Dr. Washington, who is principal of Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee Ala., for presi- dent of Howard University. Will the Boston Guardian kindly second the motion? Put Allen in Fire Department Citizens of Baltimore cast about during the week of ways of rewarding Lewis Allen, the black laborer who, forgetting a sickly wife, took children at home; for the time being, three times into a burning building to cut eight white women. B. H. Bowen, a Baltimore banker, assigned a fund for Hero Allen and the fire sufferers, and contributed personally others have increased the amount to nearly $4,000. Even if the hero of the fire were to receive the entire fund instead of a portion of it, there would follow only temporary financial relief. Real friends, attracted to him because of his mayor galanty, ought to provide him for the fire, whereby he might be able to adequate care of his wife, provide fuel for a cold home and educate his children. If Baltimore city is impressed by Allen's courage, Mayor Browning will make a place for him in the city fire department. There is where hero fire fighters belong. There is where he can find if there is objection to Allen's serving in one of the present fire companies, we call Mayor Browning's attention to the fact that ten colored men have applied for permission to take the city fire department tests on January 3. Among them can be found the nucleus of a colored fire company one of the 100 per cent colored sections. Should these ten men not prove "satisfactory," the Councilmen Warner T. McGuinn and Walter E. Emerson can be relied upon to furnish others who are able to qualify. The point is, that Bayamore city, Mayor Browne award Hero Allen in such fitting manner as permanently repay him and at the same time are available his heroic qualities for future entries. None is agreed that he has demonstrated ability to do something more than unload a truck or to match Allen's or is his heroic act something that can be passed over with a small money prize. Bishop Hurst for Haitian Commission Commission The Senate debated this week the Porter resolution providing for a commission to investigate Indian conditions. It was introduced; and passed in the House following a special message to Congress from President Hoover in which he asked for authority to appoint such a body. The resolution will pass in the Senate as in Britain, because the Senate must request, not because the members of Congress think that more light on Haitian affairs is really needed. Representative Huddleton (Dem, Ala.) said in the House last week: "I can take any book on Haiti and in an I can get more information than this commission asks for; and the library is full of such books." "Haiti has been administered by the Department of State for 14 long years. The department knows everything that has gone on in Haiti and is on the view the policy of this Government in Haiti, if you will simply take the American State Papers that are to be found at the State Department and read them, you will have it all. You will have the few hours time it takes you to read them. "Are you going to send a dignified commission, wearing high hats and long-tailed hats to Haiti to prow and pry around a few people in the city? A few come back and enlighten the world? What an absurdity. How ridiculous it is. Everybody knows—you know just as well as I have seen these congressional committees of commissions going on. They never do anything that is worth while. I can go out here and pick a man in Washington today and cut more from him than any commission will ever learn of its own motion. "I know what they are going to report. You could write the report in advance. We had a Senate investigation on Haiti. We have made some of the decisions of this commission? It is to take upon the shoulders of Congress some of the responsibility for that may be done down there. None of the decisions of none of the decisions—you will not be allowed to take part in that in your mind. It will never come up for a vote here. You will just simply take some of the responsibility for what is done here. The Executive of a part of the blame, and he will go on deeding just like he has before." Hurdleston is a Democrat, but even so incidental a Republican as Senator Borah, of the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that on account of the fourteen years of U.S. congress, the State Department has available more information than any commission can get in six months. Nevertheless, the President has asked it, and should be voted, so that now the question arises who shall constitute the commission. The commission Leslie Builh, white, research director of the National Association for education, a special report on Haiti, suggested the formation of one colored commission—in view of the fact that Haiti is occupied by a black population. Representative Oscar DePriest (Rep. Ill.), in his maiden speech at the house re-elected him, as did also the N.A.A.C.H. President. Representative Hamilton Fish (Rep. N.A.) advocates two colored persons among seven to be appointed. Representative Wood (Rep. Ind.), who has held Haiti several times and has lived in the country among the common people, is more interested in the class of class who not only know and speak the French language, but also the patols, of the Haitian common people, which is a mixture of French and African. Mr. Wood argues that an English or French speaking commissioner unacquainted with the dialect of the common people, will be at a disaster. Haiti as an investigator, and he holds that the commission should be made men who know or who can be made to know the intimate thought of, the Haitians of all classes, their habits, their practices, their wants and their necessities. There may be others among the French speaking U.S. citizens of New Orleans, to but the AFRICAN AMERICAN it appears that Bishop John Hurst is适意ly suited for the Haitian commission. He is a native-born Haitian, educated in Ohio, and is now a U.S. citizen. In early life he served as a secretary in the Haitian legation at Washington. While a United States citizen, he has never lost touch with, nor lost interest in, the land which gave him birth. He has the confidence of American Negroes within the church and outwardly in the community. He will serve, need President Hoover look further for one member of the U.S. commission? "And Others" Governor Ritchie has just announced the appointment of the Maryland commission on high education in accordance with an act of the 1972 legislature to make a study of the relations of high education with report recommendations for a policy for 1981. The text of the Governor's announcement reads in part: Governor Ritchie has just announced the appointment of the Maryland commission on higher education in accordance with an act of the 1929 legislature to make a study of the relations of the state to higher education and report recommendations for a policy for 1931. The text of the Governor's announcement reads in part: "When the last legislature it seemed to me that the state had come when the state's policy towards higher education should be similarly established, and that a future program for carrying out such policy, say for the next 5 years should, as far as possible, be mapped out to involve the future needs of the University of Maryland during such period, and if accepted it ought to eliminate controversies in future legislatures as to the budget requirements of the university in all its departments, both at College Park and at the University, including, of course, the university hospital." "Such a study would also consider the state's future relationship to the several state-aided colleges, such as St. John's University, the University of Maryland, the Hopkins and others, and their status, financial and otherwise, with regard to state help." Since no colored Marylander may attend the colleges enumerated in the governor's announcement, the state's policy towards higher education will not be considered by the commission. Who most need voice have none. The average white Maryland youth has no college or university education to study dentistry, medicine, pharmacy or law. Private schools supported by wealth and philanthropy offer better facilities. Hopkins gets the pick of the professional students, the University The average white Maryland youth has no need of a state school for college work, or a study dentistry, medicine, pharmacy or law. Private schools supported by wealth and philanthropy have the right of the highest the价 of the professional students, the University of Maryland those who are left. The tax paying Negro citizen of Maryland pay for the upkeep of this State University of Maryland ($500,000 every year from the tax fund which in return its doors to him. The state's public college, the state, this is a problem worth inquiring into. Is this illegal policy to continue? Is the state required to provide professional education for Negroes in separate institution? Does "AND OTHERS" in the Governor's state meaning, UNLESS Morgan College is among the "AND OTHERS"? The commission as appointed includes many elements of the state's population but no Negroes. It includes: George M.

The Rebel's Alibis A Washington reader writes: "I am enclosing an article from the 'Con- federate Veteran' of Nashville, Tenn. (Dec. 1929), in which it is stated that the colored Americans should be grateful that the an- digenous United States as slaves rather than to have remained in Africa where the descendants of those who remained are today largely heathens and believers in superstition. "Also it states that all the efforts of the missionaries have done little toward Christ- inizing the great mass of colored people in USA." "This is an angle which is not often con- sidered by present colored United States citizens. It is also true that other races also had to endure slavery, so perhaps we should be grateful that we are living in the present Slavery and slave trading violate all laws, human and divine. All America was guilty and the South more guilty, because it clung to, and very down fighting for, this indiscriminate practice. Before and since defeat, it has been engaged in the game of slavery and the abuse of women and immorality. Two are contained in the article referred to above. One is that Negroes of today should look upon slavery as a benefaction because it has given them U.S. civilization. Well, if any man can look back upon the horrors of slavery and look forward to 350 more years of half-slavery and term the benefactions, he is welcome to his views. Livingstone estimated that only one-fifth of African natives sought as slaves were captured: four-fifths were wounded or killed transporting them next to them and women and girls were taken out perished. On ship board, slaves chained together, sat between each other's leg "so close that they could not lie down or position day or night." Many drowned them selves, others starved themselves to death. Men strangled them next to them and women and girls were taken out perished. The presence of a slave ship was always evident by an oar that could be noted a mile off. The 5000 slaves landed in America at this rate of 4,300,000 slain, wounded or tortured to death by men who terms such practices a benefaction has never smelled the reek of a slave ship has never heard the crack or felt the lash of the driver's whip, has never seen the prostitution of slave women nor witnessed the separation of mothers and children at any point in the albic article is that through slavery has come Christianity. But Christianity is after all only one of the world's great religions. It is the religion of the white races. Japan, after investigation, has rejected it: China and India are the worst warriors. Africa prefers Mohammedanism, which specifically color prejudice. Moreover, great as Christianity is, only a spurious brand of it is alive and dominant in the United States, where race prejudice, denominationism and intolerance rule the average. No dear, no dear, no dear. For America's participation in the justification of slavery nor for the rebel's fight for it despite his alibis. There never has been. Then never will be. Slavery and slave trading violate all laws, human and divine. All America was guilty and the South more guilty, because it clung to, and went down with, the slave trade. Before and since defeat, it has been engaged in the alibi game of throwing up a smoke screen for its past crimes and immoralities. Two are contained in the article referred to above. One is that Negroes of today should look upon slaves because it has given them U.S. civilization. Well, if any man can look back upon the horrors of 350 years in slavery and look forward to 350 more years of half-slavery and term these slaves in the name of freedom. Livingstone estimated that only one-fifth of African natives sought as slaves were captured; four-fifths were wounded or killed. In transporting them to the coast slave pens and thence to America, they were wounded and term these slaves in the name of freedom. On ship board, slaves, chained together, sat between each other's legs "so close that they could not lie down or change position day or night." Many drowned themselves, others starved themselves to death—Mad men escaped from the slave ships and women drowned into each other's brains. The presence of a slave ship was always evident by an odor that could be noted a mile off. The 500,000 slaves landed in America represent at this rate 4,500,000 slain, wounded or tortured The man who terms such practices a benefaction has never smelled the reek of a slave ship, has never heard the crack or felt the lash of the driver's whip, has never seen the prosecution of slave captives witnessed the separation of slaves and children. The other point in the alibi article is that through slavery has come Christianity. But Christianity is after all only one of the world's great religions. It is the religion of the white races. Japan after investigation has ruled it warm: China and Japan have our religion no warm: Africa prefers Mohammedanism, which specifically colors blood prejudice. Moreover, great as Christianity is, only a spurious brand of it is alive and dominant in the United States, where race prejudice, denominationism and intolerance rule the average mind. No, dear Washington, you must notification of slave captives' participation in the practice slavery nor for the rebel's fight for it, despite his alibis. There never has been. There never will be.

We should not only go to church to make a better start, but also to pray for our forefathers the hardships of slavery, make this a day of thanksgiving to com- The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 4, 1930 Cadet Parham “Walks the Aerial” at the U.S. Military Academy, according to this correspondent, who says members of the Regular Army detachment assigned there criticise him, but do not refute his statements. To the Editor: The West Point question is still very vexed and Sergeants A, B, C and D, among other sergeants, wrote me to the effect that the AFRO-AMERICAN Corps should be more careful with what thing, therefore, why should it publish anything against as great a school as West Point, for it is talking against the government. These sergeants are in charge of the school and specify and definite charges against West Point. They are as follows: 1. All of the colored officers who were brought to West Point were reduced from lieutenants and major to sergeants. I took Major Milton T. Dean, who is now a sergeant, as a striking case in West Point, and the question is, if the same universities and tried to show the type of man he is and what a dastardly thing it was for the government to do this. None of these sergeants did. 2. I said that the colored sergeants are without modern improvements in their quarters, such as electric lights and steam heat. The white sergeants are without modern improvements. The sergeants do not deny this. 3. I said that there are separate swimming pools, that is, the colored detachment has a swimming pool, jim-crowed when it comes to swimming. This jim-crow pool was built by the colored detachment because there was no money available for outside labor. The sergeants have not denied the 4. I said that the U.S. Detachment of Cavalry was organized at West Point in 1907 and that, to colored officers in all these years, they have not. The sergeants do not deny this. 5. The Medical Detachment does not have even a colored sergeant. They do not deny this. The one thing that seems to make these sergeants want my skull and the hide of Editor Murphy is the fact that we had something to gadet Cadel佐索 S. Parham. Sergeant A wants to know if I am going to doubt the boy after he has made a statement. Murphy was made under adverse circumstances, and when I was up there, he was under punishment probably for something that he had failed to doathat he was made the done, for the cadets are punished for sins of omission as well as those of commission. Parham was "walking an aerial," which means that he was walking on snow or ice line for about the distance of a city block, more or less. He had to walk this whether or not rained forks or snowed brick bats, it made sense that he would be deficient in mathematics. One cannot walk this aerial and at the same time do a problem in engineering. So sergeant who have finished such reputable Harvard and others can cringe and crawl like these fellows do is beyond my imagination, but most men who have attended Harvard are doing so, he is doing Dr. W. E. B. DaBois. William Monroe Trotter, Alain Locke, Perdinand Q. Morton, Charles Wesley and Carl Murphy. I may have missed a few of them, but those whom I am familiar with the fingers of one hand with two fingers left. This is especially true if they are government employees, who are in the army or navy. They seem to get in the habit of taking orders and it becomes their second job. They are not to have the courage of their convictions, and are unable to speak out on questions affecting their manhood rights.

We have attended a number of recitals, both at Culhum Hall and Cadde Chapel, and all footwear has been worn. Our treatment has always been above reproach. Of course the Cavalry has its own swimming pool. Why shouldn't they? They also have their own tailor shop and barber shop. The men did their own tailor shop and Bravel Cavalry menu.

We know here GEORGE W. BUTLER, Quarters 8, West Point, N.Y. Day by Day Program in America. According to a report of the International Labor Defense, meeting this week in Pittsburgh, 5,605 workers have been arrested in connection with their activities in that organization since its last session. A week ago a group of young white men in Baltimore told a protester that they had no objection to their sisters dancing and colored couples dancing together in his district that they had no objection to their sisters dancing and some of the young white women attending the dance declared they would continue to exercise and they pleased so long as it did not break a law of the land. Down in Gastonia, N.C., recruited cotton factory workers elected colored men on an executive committee which declared for complete union and social equality of race workers. Throughout the country, the International Labor Defense, a wing of the United Nations, has supported to be inspired and perhaps supported by the Soviet Government of Russia, is engaged in prosecutions, and who cannot hope to gain anything in their own generation by this action. The Soviet Union, on cells, to carry on in what they believe a class struggle to change the economic system of capitalism. What. of course, is the most interesting aspect of the affair to our group is its open and unequivocal policy of complete racial equality and all races to join in the struggle. Where the Movement Is Headed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent; thousands of young men and women, white and colored, are throwing themselves into the movement and evidently the finding is stir up, even in this land of prosperity and opulence, to attract attention. Just where the movement is headed: who is putting up money and what will be its effect on the world? Neo-Nazi group for its time in American life, is yet to be determined. Whatever you call them, if their efforts make a mark they keep on hammering, unselfishly making their efforts a work of martyrdom, they can't help finally be taken up and upon the American conscience. The question is: Is their preachment right and just? Is it that the antisemitic system as we did human slavery? Is it right that workers should have all the rights that colored and white men and women doing the same work should receive the same salary? Does their strict out and that there be no jobs or positions which colored men are not allowed to work? apply to white men? And finally, it is right that all racial problems unpleasant owned places, and that all-social barriers based on race be brushed aside? Or on these questions will determine your attitude towards the Communist workers, Calling them revolutionists and anti-revolutionists, would be best if we do not have revolutions and wars to accommodate revolutions of the past out of history, and we would still be in the middle of the past, and we would still be living in trees. The question to be decided is, will revolutionists are right. George Washington's were. William Lloyd Garrett's were. Toussaint of Overrears' were. If, therefore, the Communists, led by Russia or any other nation, believe that they have a mission to retard the happiness of man, they can no more be condemned for carrying it to all sections of the world to be wearied in carrying a religion and extrateriorality to China; pushing economic tranquility backed by imperialism, and sending religion, clothes and rum to Africa, or imposing commercial protection to Nicaragua. And above all, if it produces one single present happiness or gives his life for the advancement of the group in a real martyr's way, it should interest us. * * * * and Children. Probation Officer George Ralph of the Baltimore Juvenile Court, has become more prevalent among young bors and girls under 16. Citing the cases of a boy and two girls, twelve women and eight children, old bobble whiskey account for more delinquencies during 1929 than in previous years, but that on the whole last year was more than last year, a large increase over the comparative population gain. Whatever you believe about prohibition, it is becoming a problem serious enough to be settled and settled definitely in some way. The fact is that, more particularly there is such a fountine of the law, even by parents who brew and keep bobble whiskey — the homes — that children cannot be blamed for their attitudes towards the rum evil. In fact, whiskey has been so glorified by Maryland Free State preachment, that one would almost believe that instead of being menti — a powerful stimulant and under ordinary circumstances, a poison — it is one of the holy waters of modern free Whether or not the defects of the present Volstead law and the ev of legalism in the attitude towards the prohibition question, the situation is bringing out of the wombies with which we will have to reckon. Whiskey used in moderation by grown up people, like cigarettes and commences to reach its tentacles down among the coming generation, whether it is your brother or you will have to marry, it becomes a monster with which we will have to deal in no uncertain way. As Mr Ralph says, parents are becoming more and more the cause of the lawless and delinquent lives work overtime until we can find some solution of the whiskey problem. Here is some insight about the jobs of the city can think about. Chips from the Quarry The Proofreader Talks. What I have chosen to designate as rhetorical capitalization has to do with the use of a comma, as contrasted with grammatical capitalization, which depends upon use, regardless of position. In fact, grammatical capitalization is concerned with the use of a comma and "proper," as applied to nouns and adjectives, and occasionally to a verb or an adverb derived from the verb. Under rhetorical capitalization there are the following common cases: Capitalize: the first word of a sentence; the first verse of every line of poetry, the pronoun "I" and the interjection "O". These are invariable, except that some writers will use a hyphen where the verse is a hyphen unto themselves as to capitalization and everything else. There is a long list of rules, variably expressed and variably followed. For example, an entire "talk" require, an entire "talk" for its full elucidation. A few will be discussed briefly. Before doing so, one or two books on grammar, which are mainly grammatically well-structured, will be recommended. When the full title of a book or a play is given in ordinary reading, the first word is capitalized as well as all the important words in the title; for example, "The Last of the Sea" or "Pirate's Pirate's Diary" "Out of the Deaths." The capitalization of the articles—a, an, the—when used in connection with proper nouns or titles gives some trouble. Since titles—of books, plays, poems, etc.—are in reality proper names, the first word, and all the important words, in the title should be capitalized as in the examples cited above. Titles are quoted in full. The article preceding a proper noun, or name, however, is not a part of the name, and should not be capitalized except when beginning a sentence or a line of poetry. This applies, whether the name itself is in quotes or not. Note the following: He reads the New York Times; He wrote about the "Christmas Tower"; We visited the wonderful "Fair of the Iron Horse". In either of these or similar cases a modifying adjective may be inserted between the article and the proper name as in the last case. We might say, the great New York Times; or the beautiful "Christmas Tower"; or an all-steel Pennsylvania train. In this way, the matter may be tested in any case of doubt as to whether or not the article should be capitalized. be capitalized. P. H. M. M. Heartening Your Work. Do your level best.

I was struck by the fact that the election colours for the People's Political Party Candidate were only the black, white and red, from Mr Greyve's point of view, the proudest colour of all, the black, would be the last to have been elected.

Hands Off. The careless habit of using the hands and fingers about the nose, the body is responsible for many painful and dangerous infections, warns Dr. Herman G. Morgan in the December issue of Hygeth. The nose face or in the nose and ears are as a rule carelessly planted there by hands and fingers carrying infection. The nose of pulling hairs out of the nose is responsible for many infections of the nose. Each year a number of deaths occur from cancer caused by curved and unsterilized tweezers and to the ranks of fatal infections of the human hand can never be guaranteed, because its many functions subject to an endless chain of infection.

Post, of Dec. 12, 1929) "There has been a couple of white men lynched in the country this past week and we have not seen a single word sent out from the Society for the Advancement of the Colored People on the 10th of March, all about the lynching everything," he said. "We know the lynching everything is the Union of being opposed to any mob violence but you don't hear a people when it happens to be a man who is a man." "We know the Union of the Mar. in Atlanta that sent the Governor Carlton a wire about the lynching in Quincy, has not sent the governor of Texas any wire about them lynching a white man out there, and all all. All the white governors are at all the full they have spread against lynchings is not in the interest of the majority of the law but in the interest of the Negro rapists. Such rot as that makes one want to vomit. On no they did not tell of lynching, I think I'd get a job to protest sent out every time a man was lynched, provided some was a rapist but when white men are lynched for something besides rape, not our own property and you can be very good to our Georgia papers have been silly enough to fall for it. This paper has never been hypocritical about this matter. When a man rapes a woman, it follows that he will die the death of white men. It seems that the people who are still able to over it. If a man knows what will happen to him and goes on and dares it to happen, why let it happen is all that can be done. Yet in vain have we watched for the usual protest about lynching, seeing the White man was lynched, and that's not a word," he said. "It is all in a bunncomble."

"It (1930) should be a year of fact finding, not mere statistical facts and dead information, but the actualities by which we must live and move and have our being." BY KELLY MILLER The old year has passed into eternity. The new year has swung into time. Time is a continuous entity which stretches from eternity, to eternity, to time by such natural phenomena as the rising and setting of the sun, the moon, and the journey of the earth in its orbit about the sun. The revolution of the earth about its axis gives us the sun seemingly to return to a stated position, like phases of the moon gives us the month. The period required for the sun seemingly to return to a stated position, like phases of the moon gives us the month. Human behavior is largely regulated by astronomy. Swiftly descending from high mountains to near deal with the Negro during the incoming year of Our Lord — 1930 the Crisis usually gives us a balance sheet of debts and credits of the outgoing year. These antithetic items so compulsively require an expert social accountant to tell on which side of the ledger the benefit of the balance lies. Let us use the old method of parallelism. Gains Here; Losses There. We have gained in the ownership of city homes; but have lost, perhaps fifty thousand farms. The great philanthropic foundations have startlingly our provisions for the poor, but we await the voluntary response of the beneficiaries to these unexpectedly enlargen effects. Our piny efforts have utterly failed to phase out the poverty race into the modern land of Goesh. As result of this segregation, we have gained one Congressman, nine legislators and fourteen aldermen, but the entity in either of the great political parties. There are numerous instances of individual success; but no Our schools are filled to overflowing but are failing to fit the Negro into the economic and industrial landscape in which we place into which they might fit. The churches or failing lamentably to meet the spiritual, moral and social needs of the race. Our newspapers are a grafters of news and disseminators of information, but they fill the mind with imagination, with inspiration, with imagination of criminal sensational gossip and arctic suggestion. Crime Rate Alarms. The crime rate in our crowded cities alarms us. Three per cent of the population of New York City comprise criminals. Our young people fiddle and dance while Rome is burning. There will hardly be any revolution in the city until the students live during the incoming year. Things will tend to move on in their regular and acustomed way. The good constructive endeavor will proceed as the teachers will keep school, the doctors will practice medicine, the farmers will till the soil (those who do not leave); the city workers will keep up with the teachers and continue to struggle for supremacy. Nothing that I or any one else may say will very seriously affect the usual and normal order of things. Where We Are. And yet I dare suggest something that is new. We live in an age of research and surveys. President Hoover is appointing commissions to inquire into almost every conceivable social situation. The rapid progress of the past few decades has produced maladjustment of the social order. We must first find out where we are before we can wisely proceed to where we wish to go. In a magnified sense, this is true of the Negro race. We are being carried forward by the momentum of spent forces. The educational programs of the early philanthropists do not energize the faculties of the rising generations. The ideal of political equality preached by Summer and Stevens makes no appeal to Hoover's position and the reduction of the program of Booker T. Washington does not fit in with the altered conditions of today. Racs prejudice does not yield to any of the old weapons we once relied upon to eradicate and destroy it. The old razor has grown blunt and is not calculated to cut much deeper unless we can put on a new edge. During 1930 we should devote our energies largely to reappraisement of our own. It should be a year of fact finding, not mere statistical facts and dead information, but the actualities by which we must live and move and have our being. Propounded. What is race prejudice? Can we overcome it? If not, how can we overcome it? If not, how can we overcome us? What can be done to make our churches more responsive to the spiritual moral and social needs of the more effectually relate ourselves to city segregation, if, as it seems, it cannot be prevented, if not, it can be the man's adamant mind respecting the Fourteenth Amendment? In the case of the city, it can be better or worse off by leaving the country and flocking to the city? These are merely typical inquiries to the most serious attention. Shall we do this or shall we go on oblivious of the obvious, and shake the impotent finger at the face of an unfriendy fate? Fatious optimism and insane oessimism both count for toughness, but not the doctrine of despair; but anelism of common sense. S. S. Lesson Sunday, January 31st: CILDHOOD OR JEWISH MATHEW 119 to 123.

MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS by DU BOSE HEYWARD Author of PORGY A Story of Sacrifice, Romance, Humor and Tragedy Lisa has blossomed into a maven of exotic beauty. She has become identified with an intellectual group where her voice "the deep contorta, handed down from Mamba." through the years, it is now a memoir of Charleston's intelligence, where she meets Frank North, a young painter and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile. In it later on. Isa is considerably disguised with her lofty associates. One day she tells Mamba that in spite of the sheer strength of her Negro heritage, all her women are damneds" to be white. Gardinia Whitmore, a musitie beauty and the true flapper type, seized companionship. But Lissa, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardinia. Gardinia has asked Lissa to accompany her on a "wild party." After much in-flight war, conflict and illness, she soon abandons her accustomed reserve as the genitalizing life of the party. and becomes the skinitating life of the party. Prince does not meet with the approval of Mamba. Nevertheless, Mamba introduces Mamba to Prince. Prince proceeds to give Lissaa a "good time." Prince does not meet with the approval of Mamba. Nevertheless, Mamba introduces Mamba to Prince. Prince proceeds to give Lissaa a "good time." The auto ride ends at a dance, where the whole crowd falls a victim to Prince's bad liquor. Gardina, a member of the crowd, recovers from her intoxicated spirit only after she has discovered that Prince and Lissaa have disappeared from the bunch Cardinala makes good her promise to Mamba to "look out" for Lissa by immediately notifying her of Prince and Lissa's disappearance. Mamba senses the danger and immediately summons Hagar, who, having been told that "Prince" is none other than Gity Bluton, when she befriended before,验收, and accepted him. Hagar remembers an isolated cabin frequented by "Prince" during the latter's underworld activities. Thereupon, she and Mamah set out for the cabin. As they approached the cabin, the Prince was struck by a bullet. When they open the door they find Lissia seated in a corner with her dress torn and arms locked about her legs below the knee, "Prince" stands over her in a threatening manner. Lissia leap into Mamba's arms and they force her to lay down, unleashes her great strength upon the covering and ungrateful "Prince", and strangles him to death with her bare hands. Hagar is forced into hiding. Mamba sends Lissia to New York City, where Saint Wentworth meets her. Salint and Lissia take a taxi for the home of the Reverend Thomas Grayson. 10 INSTALLMENT XIV. "How are you fixed for money," he asked bluntly. She opened her handbag and gave him a roll of bills and a pass book on a Charleston bank. He poured it into the handbag and handed it. Then he opened the pass book. It showed an account in the name of Lissa Atkinson that had been opened nineteen years previously. He spun the pages the night before and put on a dollar—sometimes two—here and a week was skipped. That was when Hagar was up for a five-eight thought. After each page he would run to one-fifty or even two-fifty until the deficit had been made good. He came to the final page and found the balance: fourteen hundred and twenty-five dollars. He would run by the utter beauty of the thing that lay behind the prosaic columns of figures. Mamba—a maker of bricks without straw, a disciple of a single transcendent idea—was drawn by the utter beauty of her obscure miracles, with none to know, none to applaud. Wentworth turned with a new curiosity to examine the girl who had been the cause of such distress, the sacrifices which she represented endowed her with an importance out of proportion to herself as an individual. She was a sybol into which had gone the blind upward urges. Wentishing that fantastically involved dreams of the old woman, and behind Mamba, of millions of her articulate kin. During her brief space of time that she had been with her, Wentling that been conscious of a growing annoyance at her calm acceptance of the sacrifices that were being made for her. at the coolness with which she had precipitated a wreck, left the debris for her to recover. Grayson, himself, would attend to details. Why should she worry? Now the little book that he held suddenly explained her attitude. It went further and convinced him in some detail that her assumption was justified. Lissa would attain her goal because, like her, like her grandmother, had never once removed her gaze at the girl. She had the girl's reputation in coloured circles as a singer, and of Mamba's faith in her future. Now he saw that this faith was the only thing that mattered to her. She had bred into the girl. Her own belief in herself was supreme. Of the great faith that she and Mamba held in common there were certain articles she had written to others. It was their job to carry through together; the job of believing in a thing so intensely, so single-mindedly, that the day would come when she would be compelled fact. If Lissa hesitated now, if she removed her gaze from the steady light to which it had become accustomed, and turned back, dazed and blinded with Mamba, she would be guilty of pardonable weakness. She must look only forward, and leave the road that she had traced to the watchful eyes of the woman A bang of envy assailed Wentworth. Of late he had been enormously pleased with himself. He was a success. Charleston said so, and as it had watched him from bevood, it ought to know. The symbols of conquest were his. Next week, he would return to town with Valerie. A comfort—love—probably children—an ordered and beautifully completed existence. Yet there he sat envying an unknown mulatto girl, and seeing with a sudden and terrible clarity a seedy youth in a country store hunched over a guitar, groping for the unattainable and eager clumsy hangers. But the past, he reached dead hands after him, guiding him imperceptibly this way and that. Forces that had driven forward in grooves for generations, he pulled against his amorphous long in his only half-realised dreams—had held him true to form and tradition. Behind Issa there had been Nithing, before he had met him in immovable ideas. An old loneliness that he had known in that far-gone time stabbed up through his complacence, and now he knew that it had been a singular and beautiful thing, and that there exis for certain solitary spirits a loneliness that holds more ecstasy that the delight of any human companionship and the love to the world was to be his wedding day. And there was Issa following her dream. He realised that his hands were trembling, and he tensed them savely; mother was been sentimental too; mother had been right. Life would still be an adventure. He stole a glance at his companion and realised that she was no longer with him, sitting forward with her gaze fastened upon the crowds, the towering buildings, the surging traffic, over the mechanical thunders. From yawning excavation almost directly under their hurrying wheels, thudded the heavy detonations of blasting. Flames were on the pavements and watchful swept in full tide along the pavements. After a while the gir turned toward Saint, and in her showcase showed that already she had seated a thing than she and white man had never felt, that in the vast unconcern of this city there was escape in the very heart of the crowd in the orange and private hiding, place where.

"Nobody here has time to wonder whether I am even white or coloured." They they were on Lenox Avenue north of the line, and the white faces were behind them. Lissa saw the change instantly, and her composite vanished. She clapped her hands with a delight like that of a child. "I am at my knees," she exclaimed. "See everywhere—and such big houses." The taxi swerved to the right, and they wer- in a street that showed a glimpse of the East River under the high-flung bridge of the Elevated. Then they drew to the curb and stared. Wentworth awakened to the realisation that he was sitting with Lissa's money and book book in his hands. He put them hastily into a bag. He took out, and discharged the driver. They found themselves on the pavement before a three-story brownstone building. Over a push button beside the door was a brass plate which stated the Factory of St. John's. The musk:) maid who admitted them said the Reverend Thomas Grayson lived there, was at home, and would be with them presently. In the few minutes during which he was in the room Saint was again impressed by Lissa's case and appearance of belonging. Once their eyes met, and she gave him the bright, transfiguring smile that linked her with Mam-ma-mon, the priest, the moment, he felt she was already at home in the alien metropolis, and BEING HELPFUL IS A MARK OR BREEDING What we fear most we are most aware of. We are aware of the lookout for it. Scare it has a chance to do it. Most we are most afraid of being called. Some call it having a chip on his shoulder. This attitude of mind is often thoughtful, but the parent should think about, first in his own mind for the child to implant in his child. It is a human, trait to praise one's self and one another. Many teachers have which shoulder. This attitude of mind is something the thoughtful parent should think about, first in his own car or for fear may transplant it in his child. It is a human trait to praise one's self and one's own family's savings which have the ages perpetuate this truth. For instance: "Every crow thinks his own the blackest." And, most often, this tendency to you owes your belief that no one else has a horn to blow and if he does he is doing so unjustly. It also comes about that one group of people doubt that you really like more to "crow" about than other groups of people. And, on the other side of the picture, certain groups feel that they should be ashamed; if they have not been proud of themselves.

Others who have less time and inclination to think, translate Julia Jerome A young woman of Greensboro, N.C., seeks advice. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I have been in love with a man for over two years. He is not rich but is a hard worker. He is not handsome but he has character. He wants to marry me and I long to be his, but before I met him I promised myself that I would go to college. That is if married. I would have : nice wedding. When I ask my friends for advice, they answer — "You can make your bed hard or soft; it's your bed and you'll have to lie down. Shall I follow your heart? Shall I take love or wait for luxury? Please tell me. A.F. My dear, love is the greatest of luxuries. Evidently you love your mari in a fine, sensible way. I think that he was the provincial visitor. Grayson entered, noiding. Saint's card in his hand. He was older than as Wentworth remembered him, and had deepened almost to one of solemnity. His shoulders and chest had grown heavy with his greater maturity. The large head set firmly on his short neck gave an impression of, rock-lik-solidity to the figure. His ears well-small and the face was very small, and the waying hair revealed the lines of his skull and stressed the Negro's formation. The years, that had passed since his residence in the South had produced in some subtle way an appearance more characteristically Negro, a consensus of the same condition. TheBio connotations, that had been sense of power, but it was the power of one who moves slowly, predicating action upon a laborious logic, not to be swayed by an appeal of the emotions under which he had been so strongly weighed. Knowing his history, one would have said that his experience in the South had taught him to fear and distrust emotional hysteria, and had swung him to pure reason as a basis for the behaviour. As a result his position in Harriem was one of the upon-the-head of the group. His high and attracted the rising intellectual element, and through them he was in contact with the leaders. Advanced thought among the white people of the metropolis, thus profiting by this first opportunity, the first of the time. The meet the Caucasian upon an equal basis, of a size and take. Grayson showed no surprise at the visit, and sat in an attitude of easy attention while Lissa told him her story. Then the girl put her pencil into her bag, opened it at the fyleaf, and handed it to him. "My mother said to show you this," she said simply, "and ask you to look on me." She sat looking at the page for a moment, then he raised his eyes to Saints. "The mills of the gods, Mr. Wentworth," he said; "perhaps my 'MAMBA'S DAUGHTERS,' by Du Bose Heyward, has been extensively contemplated installments.

In the case of children, this attitude is disastrous. For fear that they will be taken for menials, many children refuse to sit for up all time, and they are not treated about getting a class of water for a teacher. They decline to do accommodating errands. Naturally, children are anxious to do things they do regularly or over a sustained period because they have to be taught habits of industry. But they are not pleased with being pleasing as a rule. So, the parent, who directly or indirectly puts into the child's mind the idea that he should not be courteous and helpfully realize what damage he is doing. The reasons back of his attitude may be deep down in thevet sufferings which he has endured over the years. He is a school-world in which the child finds himself is relatively free from these annoyances. The teachers are not all the appear on the surface is contrary child whose breeding and training are very poor. Such may not be the case at all. It is only the teaching method in dealing with a problem. It is much better to keep from the child all the bitterness that has crept into the parent's life. Let each one have a happ childhood. Encourage the parent to courage the desire to be helpful. Only step in when cross advantage is being taken, and that is not often in schools. More to earn the coveted reputation of being well-bred, parents must be behind them all thoughts of resentment and cling to principles which they know are generally right. When a concrete instance demands it. this despite your longing for a nice wedding. I suppose you mean an ostentatious can be nice. For the simplest wedding can be nice. Frankly, I believe big weddings are going out of fashion. The tendency today is for privacy in heart affairs.

Instead of throwing away money on a lavish wedding put it on display in a beautiful house apart. can enjoy it for many years to come. Use it to establish a beautiful setting for a continued romance.

He burned to Lissa. "And you will stay here for a while, at any rate, with my wife and me. We have no children of our own. She will be silent. Saint thanked him and, feeling an enormous relief from the burden of responsibility, took his departure. The mald appeared to show him the room and the stick and hat he caught from the drawing room a rragment of conversation that he was never to forget: the deep voice of Grayson said, "And there is there anything that you can do?" And immediately into the ensuing hush like the cry of a bird at dawn came the answer: "You are flying." For several minutes after the departure of Lissa and Mamba Hagar stood in the road. Her eyes, still resting on the spindle, Lissa had embraced her, were wide and intent, like those of a sleep-walker, and a faint, fixed smile was upon her lips. In a sorrowly cedar close by there was a window of wings, then Maum Vina's big rooster stood erect on a limb attached his neck Spader--The Wor Greatest By JOHN Spader--The World's Greatest Peanut Vender BY JOHN DOUGLAS His real name is Archibad Camp--out. He is coming back and coming bell Cerully, but in the dim distant back strong. If you ever are in past one nicknamed him the "Spa"-Princeton or Trenton, listen for this His real name is Archibald Campbell Cerully, but in the dim distant past some one nicknamed him Spader. He started selling peanuts as a small boy under "Ole Jim Salter." Born in the city of Pennington, N.J. Spader later moved to Princeton, N.J. where hungry college students provided a ready market for his wares. The theme of this story is not based on the mere item of peanut selling. Men are selling this food product every day, either in stores or on the street. Our interest in Spader lies in the extraordinary unique salesmanship that he has developed. He has mastered that fundamental rule of business "it makes you." Spader is his own advertisement. Supose you were attending the annual football game between Yale and Princeton. The stadium is packed with the typical football crowd, be decked in peanuts and all the merchandise that had been made and the Princeton stands are in an uprast. Finally the noise subsides and it is oivet. Then suddenly out of the stillness a deep hoarse voice is heard, your touchdown peanuts, HEAH! 'Get your winnin' beanuts HEAH!' You look to see from whence this cry comes. There, weaving his way through the crane, is an old coloured man badly sellin' his wares. He is decked out in a brilliant orange Prince Albert coat with a double row of huge block buttons, orange trous- ers and a stove pipe silk hat. Across the front of the hat in white letters is printed the sign "Spader, King of Peanut Sellers." Every student who has ever attended Princeton since the early nineteen knots, Spader. He is a Princeton institution. His selling patter is just as much a part of Princeton tradition as the old college songs. At all the games he can be heard. Away up in the stands our friend sees an old customer. With unnering aim, Spader tosses a jacket of peanuts his nickel out of the air. This is the famous Spader "special delivery." It is not necessary for him to climb into the air. He can throw a bag with uncanny accuracy and catch his nickel at almost the same time. In the winter, New Jersey fastens his nickel to take his stand at the Trenton arena. Here amid the dust of the resin and the thud of the fighter's blows, one can clearly hear him cry: "Get yer hump back peanuts, HEAH. Get your double-jointed peanuts, HEAH!" Evening—a hard working announcer after frantic efforts had finally succeeded in getting "Tadies and gentlemen." he shouted, "I have this announcement to make. I yer knock out peanuts, HEAH!" Snader as usual was on the job. This student of naming his peanuts after some occurrence chichefed friends Friends Snader If he is at some carnival, they are "carnival" peanuts. If he is working at a ball game, they are "home-run" students. If he is at a hover event present, Snader would be selling "Hover" peanuts. He always dresses for the occasion. When not at a football game this week, he usually dresses suit suit with large brass buttons. He always wears that silk hat—always. There is a deep seated plan behind Spader's toffolemy. His aim is not simply to amuse people. His desire is to sell as many bags of well-worn peanuts as he can, always toasted peanuts; as possible. To do that he has decided that he must attract attention. There is no doubt that he does both of these jobs, and he has done this work, he had accumulated a tidy sum of money. This money he invested in several propositions ranging from hogs to houses. At one point he bought a pair of blouses. However, something happened and the investment projects didn't pan out as he expected. He lost a good part of his savings in a maze of precarious that he could not understand. Spader may be down but he is not "Get ver peanuts, HEAH Fresh Jumbo peanuts Five cents a bag Long as a rail sale ALWAYS for sale Get ver peanuts, HEAH!" eastward, and flung a ringing challenge into the teeth of the ad-anging day. The start Hagar recovered herself and looked about her. She was quite alone now, and there was something to face there in the dark without Mamba, without anyone, all by herself; she was not alone them out. She thought of Blut, lying in the shack, but with neither regret nor terror at what she had done. Only out of that thought there seemed to grow more unpredictable. Lissa and that was unenuanced. She turned and entered the cabin, and with a clumsy meticulousness, "though every simple movement were the process, she made her preparations for departure. In the faint glow of the lowered kerosene lamp that stood beside Maum Vihn's bed, she curled up and took a package of cornbread and cold meat that she found in a closet. For a moment she stood looking down at the old woman who had been there so many years; then she slipped quietly out and closed the door behind her. World's t Peanut Vender "Get yer peanuts, HEAH!

Watch Temperature Meaning, the Temperature of Your Automobile At this time of year, anti-freeze solutions, winter-fronts, radiator shutters and dashboard thermometers introduce new conditions not thoroughly understood by many motorists. In the first place, it is important to remember that automobile engines are designed to operate most efficiently at a temperature around 180 degrees Fahrenheit. If alcohol is used in the cooling system of the alcohol and water solution in the cooling system is approximately 175 degrees. Therefore, when a car is operated at the most efficient temperature, the alcohol and water be a continuous loss of alcohol by evaporation. If the evaporated alcohol is not replaced, the solution will lose its anti-freeze properties and there is danger of a freeze-up the next time the car is exposed to low temperature. If radiator glycerine is used as an anti-freeze, the only evaporation that takes place is that of water, because the water in the water solutions is approximately 219 degrees. This permits operation of the motor at its most efficient temperature without danger of boiling away the anti-freeze protection. When the hand are usually left closed in cold weather until the motor is thoroughly warmed up. There is always danger, however, that the motorist will forget his hand shutter until the queer behavior of the motorist causes the system liquid is beginning to boil. (Continued next week) CAPTAIN PAUL CUFFEE A PRE-GARVEYITE New England Black Sea Captain Sought to Colonize Free Negroes in Africa. 438 CARRIED OVER U.S. War with England, 1812 Shattered Plans. Paul Cuffee, of southeastern Massachusetts, the son of a former African slave and a poor Indian woman, became a nationally known figure in the devotion of his wealth and energy to the attempt to carry all free Negroes back to Africa. Sam Cuffee, Paul's father, was brought from Africa to Cuthyunk Island, in Buzards Bay off the coast of Massachusetts, and freed by a ship-wrecked captain he had once rescued. The pirate taught Sam the ways of survival and gained opportunities in his way. A length Cuffee married an Ancian girl. Gaining freedom shortly after, he purchased a 100-acre farm on Cuthyunk Island. He was the son of a struggling family of ten, was born in 1759. Life was hard on the tiny island, and educational facilities were poor. He, however, taught himself to read and to write, and he later led the principles of navigation in two weeks. The death of his father when he was 15, placed the burden of supporting him more than his faults youthful shoulders. He saw his destiny written in salt water. He went whaling. He made trading vessels. He made trading vessels. On one trip he was captured by the British, for the Revolutionary War was going on, and spent three months in prison in New York. He made trading voyages through the war. Chanres Life The close of the Revolutionary War marked a big change in Cuffee's life. His trips on the sea had netted him much money. He was a resident on East Westport River. Here he married an Indian woman, raised his children, and here he brought the families of his brothers and sisters. Used Colored Crews Vessels were built at his wharf and they sailed with colored crews to all islands and by 1806 he owned one ship, two brigs, and many smaller vessels. Community Leader Capt. Cuffee was a leader in his community, despite his color. He had warm friendships, and intimacy. He had a new Bedford near by. His hobby was education. There was no schoolhouse near where he lived. Cuffee built a school at his own expense on a hayfield and opened it to whites and blacks. Voted in Massachusetts In those days, even the free Negroes had but few political rights against African states of Massa-chutes, recognized the political rights of the Negro. Wealth Grew Fast wealth grew. Coffee grew fast, but his great dream, the betterment of the degrees, grew slowly. He longed to help the spiritual and material condition of the free blacks in America. He wanted American blacks to migrate back to their old home in Africa, and build up communities which would be able to withstand the effort of the white population. This opinion the blacks had little chance of improving themselves in places where the whites predominated. Sierra Leone The British settlement of Sierra Leone, built up between 1780 and 1800, was the embodiment of his idea. The colony was begun by pliers who wanted a haven for fortunate Negroes. The British government, in response, opened the light of a dumping ground where Negro nuisances could be sent. First Passenger List 400 The two interests worked together and secured the first contingent of more than four hundred. Included were a few white women of damaged reputation. It was a motley band of white women who had seen much hope for the future prosperity of the colony. Cuffee arrived in Sierra Leone in 1811 just after that colony had passed through its first three throes of disorder and was settling down to a respectful life. He had to further his own objects, his own expense to see how he could use it to further his own objects. Advised Colonists He gave the colonists much advice on spirit.1 and business matters and left his nephews behind to teach the people about agriculture. His wife, the Friendly Society of Sierra Leone, Cuffee's brig. the Traveler, took him and his crew from Sierra Leone to England, in the fall of 1861, when he met the British government for a grant of land was refused. War Halts Plans Returning to America he worked feverishly upon his schemes. He wrote, lectured and conferred with whites and blacks, spreading his propaganda, but he planneds had to stop. He petitioned Congress for aid but was refused because of enmity towards England. Thirty-eight on Second Trip Matters rested until 1815 when Coffee's second address included freemen to Sierra Leone left Boston. He personally paid for the passage of thirty passengers. Before returning to America he waited in the colony until the colony finally settled, with a house on each farm. Resigned by Applicants Back in America news of the project spread and he was besieged by applicants for the journey to the new colony. But he was delayed by difficulty in making the proper commercial arrangements, and in 1817 he died. He had hoped that his work would be carried on by the two African institutions in New York and Philadelphia. These organizations mounted the way to the American Colonization Society which was created later. This society was founded after it developed Liberty for the black freemen from the United States. Cause Lost. Coffees African colonization plan failed, and interest dwindled as time went on. Nothing but a few rotting timbers on the East Westport River beach remain to show where Paul Cuffee lived and worked. Houses are as old as the river. Even memory of Paul Cuffee in Southeastern. Massachusetts is faint today. Captain Dean Tries One of his descendants, Captain Harry Dean, of Philadelphia, made an effort to carry out his ancestor's dream by a work to build a Negro bridge. So many captains are told in the recently issued seafaring book "The Pedro Gorino." SECTION The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly 6683 6698 6722 material is required cut cross-wise.

The Life and Care of Any Good Watch How to Care for Your Watch and Get the Best Service From It. Follow these simple instructions—and your watch will keep good time. Almost any watch will run for months after the last particle of oil on the bearings has disappeared. You can stop the injury will follow as surely as night follows day. It must be overhauled periodically—taken apart entirely—removing old dried-up oil and dirt; repolishing parts; to prevent them being spooled for good timekeeping. Oil in a lady's small watch will last for about 10 years. A grain of dirt the size of a needle point to stop the watch. Dirt will get inside. When you buy an automobile you are instructed how the machine must be looked after constantly, for which work you pay a service station. The finer watch is a thousand times finer machine running constantly so isn't it reasonable to have it attended to occasionally for a small service charge? Be sure to wind your watch up fully (preferably in the morning). Do not be afraid of overwind. This is not a bad thing. A small watch as it will not run 24 hours unless it is wound tightly. In washing your hands, avoid getting water on the watch. A severe jar or dropping the watch will bend the balance pivots (axle). causing it to run irregularly. Such damage does not always show its effect immediately. A small watch will give its owner warning and stop as soon as the oil thickens, because of the little power required to run it—while a large watch will keep on running, the owner will keep on running, after all lubrication has disappeared, frequently doing considerable damage. Listerine Not Needed Unhygienic conditions of the mouth and throat are among the most common causes of a helenous breath, better known as halitosis. A good mouth wash used frequently and regularly will not only correct the condition if it already exists, but will prevent it. Few people know it or have faith enough in it to use it because it is so cheap, but one of the best and most effective of mouth wash is a simple solution of saline (sodium chloride) and water. Dissolve a half to one teaspoon of the soda in a glass of water. Gargle the throat and mouth with this solution at regular intervals. Besides sweetening the breath it neutralizes the acids in the mouth and teeth and prevents the decaying effect they have on the teeth. -Pathfinder.

Cutie Brown by his quick judgment took advantage of an unusual break. The scorer's whistle whistled twice as fast as he had thrown from outside to Brown, both teams played play immediately but referee Gibson refused to acknowledge the whistle, and Brown, realizing the ball was in the floor to sink a bull's eye without any opposition. An argument resulted during which the referee ruled that the ball was not dead since his whistle is the only one that caused it. "Teeny" Brown was sent in and after a minute's play looped in a fancyinger, sewing up the game for Thomas and Cutie Brown and the offensive play of Henderson, who led the scoring with 18 points were high lights.

While a holiday crowd cheered its team, the Philadelphia Phi Alpha cagars of Morgan College handed out a 47-26 basting to the Omega Phi tossers of Howard University, at the New Albert, Saturday afternoon. The game, the feature athletic attraction during the game, was as rough and tumble affair and fraternity spirit ran high. The teams were rather evenly matched and nowhere in the house could odds be found. The Alphas, presiding Lanky Jones College, played Phi Phi Clarke, Rufus Hackett and Bill Taylor, Lincoln mentor; started the ball rolling in Pinky Clarke smacked in a follow-up of Lanky Jones's side-cup flip with caromed. The team, the mentor, later Cute Brown sneaked away to drop the ball in the bucket, unmolested. Omegas Take Lead But it was not long before Louie Coates, Howard star, and Ache, ase of the Wilberforce quint, began their head, but their leadership was short-lived. At half time the Alphas, due to the marksmanship of every member of the team, were leading by a 20-13 score. With the beginning of the second half, Slim Henderson, Virginia Seminary cager, and center for the team, was the leader that made the Alphas tighten their defense and with Bill Taylor, shooting from his position as roving guard, the team was able to rim the rim from all angles, the local Greek letter men forged ahead, never to be headed. Ase of the Omegas, with 12 points, was high followed closely by Cutie Brown with 11.

White Net Body Rebuked by N.A.A.C.P. NEW YORK—Replying to the letter from the U.S. Law Tennis Association, in which a Jim-Crow policy was admitted, Robert W. Bagwell, the National Association secretary of the Advancement of Colored People, said that the refusal to admit two Negro stars to the junior tournament reflected either snobbery or fear of defeat. Bagnall, pointing out that no tournament can be really national under the present conditions, said: "You characterize this policy as being no reflection upon the race of the players with which we cannot agree. There can only be two interpretations—snobbery and caste interpretations—or that there is a cowardly fear lest the group it is should not prosecute a player who should take honorable rank or even the victory in such a public contest." NEW YORK.—Barring of two young colored tennis stars from the National Junior Tennis Tournament, by the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association, brought a sharp letter of protest to that body from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. One of the boys, Gerald L. Norman, Jr., is captain of the Flushing High School tennis team and that school's sole representative in the tournament. The other is Reginald Weir, a College of New York tennis team. Accepted Money Entries of both boys were accepted and payment of their fees received, and it was only when the games lasted last Sunday, that it became known that they had been excluded from the tournament. Gerald Norman, father of the boy excluded, reported that he had guarded B. Moss, executive secretary of the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association, that colored players were not permitted to take part in that body's tournament. The letter written by the N.A.A.C.P. and addressed to Mr. Moss characterizes the barring of the boys by the association's snobbery" such as not relished by patrons of American sport. The letter signed by Robert W. Bagnall, associated with the association, is in full as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is informed that the United States Lawn Tennis Association has barred from the National Junior Indoor Tennis Tournament, two young men Reginald Welr, and Gerald L. Norman, Jr. appointed to the Flushing High School team and that school's sole representative in the tournament. Admitted Jim Crow "The barring of these young men we are informed, took place after they had paid their fees and after receipt of their payment, wedded on to the ground that they are colored. Gerald Norman, father of the Flushing High School tennis captain, informs the National Association of Children's People that you explicitly informed him that the United States Lawn Tennis Association did not permit colored players to participate in national tennis tournaments. This situation will become the more pointed when it is known that Mr. Norman is himself tennis coach at the Bryant High School and that some of the white boys he has coached have been adorned and will play in the tournament. Omitted from Draw "If the facts are as stated, and we are told the two colored boys names were omitted to the Sunday newspapers, and action of the United States Lawn Tennis Association constitutes an action unfair, unsportmanlike, and calculated to degrade the sport, we are told that we are as well as many other Americans, white and colored, wish to protest in the strongest terms. of sport in this country, do not relish the administration of public contests by a spirit of caste and class snobbery, and we are sure that the public, when informed of the methods used, will respect the Tennis Association, will be quick to characterize those methods.

Francis, president of the New York Tennis Association, which is affiliated with the American tennis backup by a letter backing up the protest made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the barring of the two young stars.

Coach Martin commended that set of men who are constantly studying the rules of the game as the E.B.O. members do, and he characterized them with the rules and unafraid to enforce them; neutral in their attitudes; thoroughly honest and approachable; properly equipped alert and whose general character is honorable intent on the play of the players." Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control of Howard University, addressed the meeting on the Attitude of Athletic Boards To He stressed the hearty sympathy and support on the part of athletic boards, and the importance of BOA coverage of a period of about a decade, during which the general efficiency of the officials has kept pace with the modern trend of the football game.

WHEN the United States Lawn Tennis Association, a lily-white organization of two black Negro youths from competing in the junior tennis championships in New York, they set up a job for the organization for years before to come out in the open and announce. No one who has lived very long in the United States is surprised when the announcement is made that whites are trying to STOP Negroes from doing something, particularly in tennis. BETTER THAN THE WHITES. The action of the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association, then, was a natural thing and no one should be surprised. The whites who are upset to find that race athletes have the NERVE to seek competition in events that are not black and colored of American citizens. But the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association made one little slip. Edward B. Ward, a body replying to the protest letter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association that the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association has been to decline the entry of colored players in our championships. In the past, the players had been迫於 the colored race, but we believe that as a practical matter the present method of separate association with the affairs and championships of colored and white players should be continued. Doctor Moss slipped because the characteristics of Norman and Weir, the players involved, had been accepted and their money received. Weir came for the draw that the boys on the inside discovered that they had made a grievous blunder, wring their hands and went egitator tears. What to do, what to do? Then all of a sudden light dawned on their dollars back" they cried gleefully, "and that should appear them." But this time the worm had changed his position, and there was no satisfaction to be This sort of thing has been happening long enough and even the most recent coming naused by it. Bar. bar-bar everywhere a dark face turns, a bar is raised. Of courses the Americas government at Bordentown, but it would not be necessary to have this separate tourney if Negroes were allowed to tourneys and given representation on the boards that handle the administrative affairs. The only reason that separate tourneys are worth it is because there has been a refusal on the part of whites to participate with or against the team that this condition should continue is just a lot of tommypro, and until such such weak-knee and his hechencin, are replaced by red-blooded and fair-minded sportsmen, the Negro must suffer the sting-Im-Crow or cruel sheel! In the interest of fair play this colum condemns the action of the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association heads of the organization, there are some fine people who hold membership in that body, but they represent the minority. It is only when their tribe increases that they can hope for any measure of justice. -G- ALONG the same line, is the puny action of the New York Boxing Commission in putting the damper on the proposed match between Young Jack Thompson and Jackie Fields while. The Dumb Dukes of Swat certainly pulled a fast one when they canned son for it, so is far beneath the surface that only a few persons will ever know. The Wise Men hint that maybe Thompson and Feldt were not the only ones staging a waltzing contest. They further argue that Thompson as an opponent is not just the thing to be desired. Flimsy stuff. The Three Wise Men of Walpole are trying to inject a race issue, might be considered by some to be problematic, but Thompson, pray tell this scribber how Tom Heenne, Johnny Rikos Max (Bad) Schleming, a pungent of other managers to be continually? Answer me that. Pretty bad stuff, this quashing of the fight, but the real reason we the boxing commission are sore with the manager of one of the fighters. If information coming to this desk can be taken at its face value, we can be a formidable contender today. But why sez we, shut the gate for one, and let the rest gallop through? Maybe another answer that question for yourself. -G- IF YOU are interested in baseball as all, you may receive the shock of being announced that the Negro National Baseball League will meet in Detroit, Michigan, come Chewseydam and a release from the office of the president, Judge W. C. Huston, announces that there will be an open organization of organized baseball, the discussion to include players' salaries, playing area. length of season, public interest. The organization. And as the dressed chicken remarked, "I'm picked!" The boys are ready to talk about publication. That mix. From the action of the West, the pioneer in organized baseball, I take the hint that the baseball game can be after 6 p.m. at least not more than a month or two: —G— SOME few seasons back, when West Virginia State College was better known as "Institute," there was a young man attending that school who was a dean of the college, answered to the name of Mark Cardwell.

BELTHouse No. 20 100% Pure Coffee ALL THAT COFFEE SHOULD BE Also LORD CALVERT TEA Every Sip Delicious The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 4, 1930 Don't play with those clubs which violate the National Bridge Code. Complete list of laws to be published. Declarer should study dummy and own hand for two minutes before playing. B. R. W. TALIAFERRO Most Bridge players, especially the beginners, are more interested in the play of the game than they are in the Auction, because to them this is the most spectacular. True enough, there is a certain exhilaration, in making seemingly impossible hands into a winning contract, but how often is this done? Very seldom by oldcore players. Expert players have the Bridge sense to take certain advantages that the average players know nothing of. That is why I am harping on the necessity of proper It is most ludicrous to a Bridge student, to see partners give up four and five hounds in the same order to become Declarer. It is equally as ludicrous to see partners arise after four hands in Progressive Bridge, with a score of four, and finally they think they are playing wonderful Bridge. But, if they could only understand how they are burlesqueing, they would be disgruntled. Each Club Has "Rules." Then again there is the trouble with the rules. Seemingly each Club has its own rules and systems of the game, perfectly oblivious to the strict rules and regulations of any card games, and that these rules govern the game throughout the United States. How simple it sounds to person to person to say so and so, when there are authorized rules governing not only that particular thing but everything that pertains to Bridge. The custom of it in this or that game does not regulate the Bridge Laws. Clubs that do not know these Laws should make themselves perfectly familiar with them and abide by them alone. They are not likely to fail to recognize the National Bridge Code, there is nothing left to do but flatly refuse to play with them. When they see you they regularly bridge and they regularly Bridge players they will come to time and will be perfectly willing to follow the prescribed Code. Anw Laws of Bridge with which many players are not familiar. I will gladly publish through these columns Later I will publish the entire Code Other Ways of Counting. To date, you know that certain honors in your hand will enable you to make an initial effort to make sure that other honors must average a count of fourteen. Now there are other ways of getting a count of fourteen without it being in honors alone. You can, of course, not do. No matter how long you have been playing Bridge, you realize the strength of a short card suit in your hand. A short card suit, it is worth at least two quick tricks—by Ruffing—and possibly three. If you hold a single in your hand, it is worth at least one quick trick and possibly two, by Ruffing. If it is worth possibly one quick trick, therefore you must take these things into consideration when you are making a short card suit. A short card suit, count 3, a Singleten 2 and a Doubleten 1. Quite a few like to count short card suits the same value as they do quick tricks and partners, because there might be an equilizing balance in Dummy or partners' hands that lessens the value of a short card suit. Therefore I, for young students of the Game, The Partner. I have been asked what is necessary for the partner of the Initial bidder to hold if he needs a count of fourteen. Logically, you can hold fourteen in an inquiry. If fourteen shows a quick trick holding of four, the average count of one quick trick is three and one half points. Therefore, if the Initial bidder holds of our fourteen in points, his partner must have three quick tricks or three times 3 and 1/2 points, which is ten and a fraction of eleven. Of course, advanced students of our course will notice this much Initial strength for an Original bid, but Beginners should have it to start their game safe and somed. As you go along this course, you will be able to make an Initial bid with holdings very much weaker. Laws to be Published. Beginning next week, a complete list fo the Laws of Bridge will be published through these columns. It is very necessary that all players of Bridge, whether beginners or advanced students, should familiarize with these From Utica, N.Y. What were you able to do with last week's hand sent in by the Dumbar Whist Club of Utica, New York? Did you have to obtain all the tricks he could have? Trying to play such hands as these will give you quite a bit of experience in your play. If you play the more you should try to play it properly. Figure out the best defensive measures you would use were you the Declarer's adversaries. Just what offensive measures you would employ were you the Declarer. As soon as possible, you will get pointers and instructions on how to handle the hand. Ruth and other vital things that count for much in the Play of the game. But before you can expect to play properly you must learn the hand. As soon as you do that, then the Play of the hands will begin. The Finese. Quite a few people that I saw play last week's hand and those that questioned me about it had the same hand. Club fitness was the proper way to play it. I am strongly in favor of all fitnesses because it is easy to recognize that without them many a game was lost. At the same time, I don't believe in advising a fitness when it is possible to do without it and the absence of it makes the hand more secure. After missing the missing honor in the wrong hands as it has the right on it. Of course, we realize that when we fail to make the hand secure, we feel the missing of knowing that we played the hand properly but just found the card in the wrong position. When you find it possible to pass up a fitnesses hand more secure, it play the hand made more secure without it, don't fall to ignore it. KOESTER'S HONEY BREAD 100% AUFRE KOESTER'S HONEY BREAD this hand is to study the strength of the two hands, both in trump and in each suit. See your sure losing cards, then your possible losing cards. Give your winning and possible winning cards the same consideration. Then map out your campaign of play. Always study the hands thoroughly before you play a card. That is as long as you want. Remember that the best Bridge Players sometimes spend two and three minutes studying their hands without making a play. It is impossible for a player to out your method to offense at the first glance of the cards. Even a Player hand takes a little thought. Make Contract First. When you do begin your play, the first thing you try to oaccomplish as Declarer, is, make your contract, the second thing, make your contract and make a Slam. A little later I will tell you how to gage each trick value in obtaining these results, but a good Declarer always follows the foregoing instructions in the play of the trick. You get back to the hand printed below. If Declarer had given the combined hands the thorough examination he should have made a possibility of a Grand Slam. But he was so anxious to demonstrate his ability of making a finesse that he failed to notice that the play would have had more sound had he taken the surer way of play. There was nothing in the bidding to indicate where the King of Clubs laid, so why chance a finesse when you can make the hand secure. You could have made certain cards during the Auction, but of course there are times that you cannot do this and you must rely solely on fortune. If the King of Clubs had had Junior hands of a bad trick, he would have lost that trick. Slam in Two Suits. When he first saw Dummy's cards he should have seen the possibility of a Slam in two suits. Trump and Diamond all had losing Spades and Dummy had losing Spades and Clubs, but with strength and length in Hearts and Diamonds, and with this strength and length divided between the two, that a clever Declarer would Sluff all his losing cards. Closed hand full of Trumps, he would play them until he has sluffed them, and the losing card would have to do would be to cash every Diamond trick in Dummy and the result would be a Grand Slam. I will play this hand for you, showing each trick and how it is Declaration, 3 Hearts by South. Trick 1: West, 3 of Clubs; Dummy, Ace of Clubs; East, 5 of Clubs; Declarer, Jack of Clubs. Declarer's play of the Jack instead of the 9 of Clubs, variers from leading their King, for fear it will be ruffed, in case they do get in. Declarer can see the safety in playing the Ace of Clubs and sluffing the Queen instead of trying for a finesse. Trick 2: Dummy, Jack of Hearts, King of Hearts; Declarer, King of Hearts; West, 6 of Hearts. (East is in a position where he is practically forced to play his Queen. If West, his partner, holds either the Ace or King, he must use his Queen and if his partner has neither it is bound to get caught anyway, therefore he is compelled to play it. Trick 3: Declarated, Ace of Hearts; West, Hearts; East, 5 of Hearts. (This trick clean up all adverse trumps.) Tricks 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 Declarer leads Trump from closed hand, sluffing in Dummy the Queen and Duce Hearts and the Queen-4, 3 of Spades. Trick. 9: Declarer. King of diamonds; West, 2 of diamonds; Dummy, of diamonds; East, 3 of diamonds. Trick. 10: Declarer. Jack of diamonds; West, 4 of diamonds; Dummy, Ace of diamonds; East, 9 of diamonds. Tricks. 11, 12 and 13 all diamond leagues. Dummy making Declarer a Grand Slam, without the necessity of a finesse.

Mother's Duty It is the duty of the mother to start the child out in the morning properly clothed and fed. All too often it is sent down to partake of a cup of noxious coffee from a pot which has been sitting on a stove from the day before to off it and then stomach. Sometimes a bum may be found or a penny or two spent at the corner grocery for an indigestible sweet. It seems to be the custom of many mothers to lie in bed and direct the dressing, toilet an dbreakfast of her children, instead of getting up and assisting them to get off to school correctly clad and fed. -Balto. Health News. Household Hints Always dry umbrellas OPEN and never keep them tightly rolled up, as this helps to cut the cover in the seams. When through constant wear, the edges of rugs or carpets turn over and curl, boiling water should be poured on the turned edge which can cause the material to crack. This treatment is said to lengthen the service of the material also. To clean egg stains from spoons, first rub them with a little salt, then wash them with water and water with soft cloth.

"WHIGHT QUALITY" Phone Madison 4464 1,400 Idle in 3 St. Louis Plain "Unsteady" in Chicago Heavy losses in employment were experienced by Negro workers in industrial centers during the month of November. Reports of labor advisors of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League indicate that a decrease in industrial employment is more than seasonal, and greater than periodic decreases noted since 1927, has particularly affected Negro workers in Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis. Detroit Because of the general depression in Detroit, due to the cessation of work in the industrial plants, many men who have returned to their homes have been received into their homes. In many cases the transportation of men was paid by the Department of Public Welfare. The hope is expressed. However, that with the pumping of industrial activity most of the men will return to their jobs. In Chicago the labor situation is reported as acute, several of the industrial establishments have laided of more than 50 per cent of their losses until January 1, 1930 or later; male employment has shown development with all city improvements.

Gains in Texas In Austin, Texas, it is reported that Negro chauffeurs were again being given the preference in employment after the Civil War, and chauffeurs replaced them. In San Antonio, Texas, a colored maid has been employed at the city comfort center while the County Public Health Department employed a colored visiting nurse. Filipinos Used The replacement of Negro workers with whites continues in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where white elec- trators in the department store displanted Negroes in a plaza. Chicago where Filipinos have replaced Negroes in a confectionery shop; and orientals are replacing Negroes on an "Negro jobs" in Los Angeles. Workers Move A continuous movement of small groups of workers is noted throughout the South and Mid-West. Richmond, Virginia, faces such a situation with workers from rural se- virginia are entering the Pittsburgh area, and company having hires 336 Negroes in the month; Fort Wayne, Indiana, is reported as receiving large numbers of workers from Detroit and Chicago seeking employment; Tampa, Florida, on the other hand, deserves the attention of the Sugar Company will employ 14,000 Negroes on sugar plantations, reports that some Negroes are leaving the city.

Denies Statement that He is too Busy to Take Job. NEW YORK. — Declaring that Alderman Fred R. Moore had been insincere in his attitude, and in the case of his attorney, Michael Clifford Hawkins, alderman-elect, gave out a statement explaining the minority leadership fight, this week. The statement of Mr. Hawkins is as follows: "There has appeared in the press various statements concerning the designation of a minority leader of the state of New York from 1890 to 1931, including a statement made by Alderman Moore, one of the minority members. I think that some of these inaccuracies are due to a lack of sincerity with reference to these statements, including that made by Alderman Moore. may be summed by the lack of accuracy by which the statements made by Alderman Moore are reported for publicity. Confidential "I have no desire at this late date to discuss matters of a confidential of anyone. But since Mr. Moore who nature or to violate the confidence was present at, and who took part in the conference to designate a muni-nority leader of the board, I am in agreement with reference thereto, which does not accurately give the facts. I think cer- VXDF wse. .w. tain things in his statements should be called to the attention of the public. "From the nature of things which followed Mr. Moore's effort to obtain this minority leadership including the activity of Mr. Moore, I must certain elected member of the board of aldermen, it appears that all of Mr. Moore's acts act after he found that thumbs up to the wholly and solely window dressing. "I want it known that the statement issued by me on the 11th of December and printed in a local paper on the 11th day of December, is absolutely true and cor- No Offer "Mr. Moore did not offer to nominate me as and for the minority leadership of the board, he signed a statement given out with reference there to. But he did say. I would vote for Hawkins as a colored man, if he insisted. At the same time, I would not give him except the words, if he insisted. "Mr. Moore at no time said, I am still going to nominate my minority leader if you say the word. And further, from the general nature of words spoken by him in references to me at the time, I would nominate the minority leadership that he was scarcely on speaking terms with me. although I spoke to him quite freely. "Mr. Moore said that he was too busy to nominate the minority leadership and that 'Hawkins is also too busy to take this leadership because he cannot give up his law practice. I did not authorize him to make this statement for me. nor have I authorized anybody else to make such a statement for me or on my behalf. The fact is, I wanted the minority "The only suggestion of a vote with reference to the minority leadership, I meditated really relied that a vote was not necessary. So far as I know no actual vote was ever taken. "Mr. Moore made no direct offer to the minority leadership. I want to state further that I wanted the minority leadership not as a colored man alone, but as a coedicated to be equipped for the position desired. I want to state further that I hold no malice or grudge against anyone because of the fact that I did not receive this minority leadership." LOCAL DEATHS Hutchins, Samuel 60, 923 N. Carey-st.

E. Lee LeCompte says: "Many shoots of game will die during a fire, and sportsmen feed them. Every bird which dies this year means several less birds to hunt next fall.

The hunt is extended to all sportsmen throughout the state to feed the birds and game, especially during heavy snow storms."

BAPTIST MINISTERS RAP MEMBER STEALING Say City Pastors Should Not Take in Members Without Letters from Other Pastors. OPINIONS VARY Members Have Right to Leave and Join Churches, Some Say. Declaring that he refused to take members leaving other churches into his membership without a letter from the first church or a strict investigation into the reason for their leaving, the Rev. Simon Williamson offered for an open discussion the irregularities along this line in city churches at the Baptist ministers conference, Monday. Seek Other Members In the discussion that followed, the Rev. W. W. Allen stated one minister, whose name he refuses to mention. "If there is anyone in this congregation who is disatisfied at his own church, join here." The Rev George Criwian, of St. Benedict Church, said that a person who was a member of one church had no right to leave a neighborhood church and be taken into another church. The statement was hotly contested by the Rev. A. J. Payne, pastor of the Enon Baptist Church, who said that circumstances should not prevent a church and application for membership at another should determine whether persons should be received without permission. The Rev Payne intimated that he would take or refuse members into his church at his own discretion and not because of any reason from churches where they formerly held membership. Intimates Split The Rev. Payne further stated that, a member of the deacon board of a church with a group of members had this week conferred with him a commission. The Rev. Payne stated that he had deferred his endorsement of this project until later. It was the general consensus of opinion that the church referred to the Mission Point, formerly pastored by the Rev. M. T. Taylor. The Rev. D. Dickinson contested Rev. Payne's right to endorse a split in any church, though he was president of the Bapst Mission Point, which was upheld by Rev. W. W. Allen. Rev. A. J. Green stated that some preachers refused to give members letters, and that some churches were so torn that they did not get letters. In as far as was possible persons coming from other churches were requested to get letters from former churches, but their not having them, they were coming from members of Grace Memorial. Disgruntled pastors will not give letters, he said. The Rev. A. L. Balley said ministers had no ethics. There should be some kind of generality that would prevent disgruntled members from leaving one church and being accepted into another without investigation. Discussion got rather heated. Rev. Allen asked that they not be joined sometimes with Rev. Allen declared period for topic closed. Rev. Pavne said some one had written to the Baptist convention head that Maryland conference wasn't giving the minister any special thanks that whoever took it upon himself to be so officious, he hoped would get some satisfaction from it.
