FIRE
ONE DROP BILL IS PUT BEFORE VA. LEGISLATURE
99.9 Per Cent White Person Would be a Negro. POWELL IS BACKER
Pianist Introduced Race Integrity Bill.
RICHMOND, Va.—A new racial integrity bill was introduced in the Senate last week by Senators Ball, Buchanan, Easley, Layman, Warrex Morris, Jeffreys, and Healy.
Presents any person with a drop of Negro blood as a "colored person." A ninety-nine and ninety-tenth percent white person would be classed as colored.
While the racial integrity act now in effect was supposed to have included this provision, it has been documented in some way, according to John Powell, white pianist, of Richmond, prominent advocate of the measure. The new bill is being introduced to prevent the present law from being evaded.
One Paragraph
The entire bill is only one brief paragraph it follows.
"Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia that any person in whom there is ascertainable any Negro blood shall be deemed to be a colored person."
The measure was referred to the Committee on General Laws. The 1924 race integrity bill provides as follows:
The term 'white persons' shall apply only to those persons who have no race whatsoever, other than Caucasian; but persons who have one-quarter or less of the blood of the American Indian and have no other non-Caucasian blood shall be deemed to be white. J. Maggers who interviewed Powell and his co-workers in the 1924 PRO offer they the race integrity bill passed in 1924, declared they hide their hatred under an affable manner. Both are non-violators; they did not have Nazi ties; they would have love for or poor people.
likely advocate sending all Negroes to Liberia as colonists. For lightly joked with Rogers, over the "little comedy" the Virginia legislature wielded, had showed that the leading families of Virginia had some colored blood. Postel worked out statistics and printed them in a Richmond daily posting that "ten Presidents, two U.S. senators, two representatives, five generals, three distinguished Dixie novelists, three governors of Virginia, a speaker: of the House, two bishops, three congressmen, one rear admiral, two judges of the Virginia: Superior- and many Colleague had blood. Many of them are dead, but many, no doubt, left families.

Church, wandered 10 miles north and heard narrowly escaped death when he attempted to seek refuge from the cold in the home of F.

Parham Failed by
one-tenth of a Unit
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Sitting in one of nature's horseshoe bows formed by mountains and the Hudson River, is the United States Military Academy where young Alonzo Parham, Congressman Oscar DePriest's appointee, has just been probably discharged after failing in mathematics by one tenth of a unit.
Men here will tell you that one tenth of a unit failure was less likely than one hundred, as were high officials at the academy.
Whether young Parham will be game enough to take the March re-exams and come back in July, remains a seem, but an agreeable DePriest appointee tried himself with dignity and honor while here.
Parham says he got a square deal so far as official contact goes, and until something else turns up, and until something else takes his word and let that be the case.
With even limited powers of observation, it would not take one long to penetrate into the underly-ground of the jungle which will perhaps always make the academy "wormwood and gall" to the Negro cadet appointee. It is wormwood to even the white first year man, and the black junior which had racial isolation is added, there you have the gall.
The Long Arm from Washington.
It is also evident that it is from Washington, rather than local initiative that the race is largely barred from West Point and the Naval Academy.
There could be no doubt that, if the ratio is divided one-tenth, 40 of 400, of appointees coming to West Point each year were colored, the average ratio of two-thirds, the 40 percent, meet the注射 requirements.
But the machinery which bars this population-ratio percentage with precision in the nation's capital. With the exception of the rigid cannon, the infantry in the army, one finds little color prejudice in official West Point.
On one Sunday here this writer saw white cadets, white and colored non-coms, and white and colored enlisted men in the West Point academy; saw basketball game between a white and a colored team in the gym of a colored outfit; saw sons of white and colored playing games in the gym; and attended a motion picture sponsored by the West Point Parent-Teacher Association for white and colored children. You consider that there are few communities in this "Christian" nation where churches are not the foundation for all the racial prejudice, you will understand that a military academy chapel open to all races.
Non-Com Confirmed in the Chapel
Not long ago, for instance, a noncommissioned officer in the cavalry detachment here was confirmed Episcopal creed in this chapel. There are here evidences of the same individualistic racial prejudices as exist in all American schools, and there are eleven hundred enlisted men serving in units in connection with the academy, there are rank Southerners, but a white enlisted man told this story that he was a captain in the cavalry detachment here pitched a white private through a plate glass store front for using the word "nigger" in his speech, constantly remembered rules was to leave that word out of their vocabulary. Until the "entertainment committee of the cavalry detachment" limit attendance at their annual ball to their own relatives, wives, and sweethearts by the "special invitation" method, the white couples shogged the affair, members of
Technically, mathematics, the foundation upon which army and navy efficiency is based has temporarily halted. But the Army can no longer be queen. But no one here can look you straight in the eye and not admit that whatever colored youth runs the gaudet of four years in the academy must be super-efficient in mathematics, and courage, an immune from "bad habits."
Under the present system of instruction, you do not come here to learn mathematics, but to demonstrate that you know. The appointee should be at least two years old and have the mathematics, plus special drilling in this subject.
And above all, he must have the
passion as if he were pass-
ing, through hell.

LAUREL PASTOR ATTACKED AS HE ENTERS CHURCH
Underworld Blamed for Assault Upon Rev. A. E. Martin.
Claim Woman Involved in Affair.
LAUREL, Del —Rev. A. E. Martin, the pastor of Waters New Zion M.E. Church here, was brutally assaulted January 12 about 7 p.m. as he entered his church.
William Wilson and Paul Steward, alleged assailants, who charged that the pastor was in the church with Mrs. Wilson, were arrested on warrants sworn out by Rev. Mr. Martin.
At the hearing before Magistrate Spiper the next day, the two accused offender, their testimony, but admitted that they lay in wait in the hall for the pastor.
Mrs. Wilson denied the allegation on the witness stand, stating that she came by the church and spoke to the pastor, asking what kind of service was to be held, whereupon the two assailants rushed around the church, the pastor, and dragging her up the steps of the church. She said she only knew Rev. Mr. Martin casually.
**Peculiar**
Several peculiar circumstances were connected with the assault, according to the pastor.
First, the supposedly injured husband, William Wilson, did not do any violence to the pastor, Paul Stewart, an uncle of Mr. Wilson, inflicted the assault the pastor the membership of the church and expressed the wish that the church building be blasted to hell.
While the attack was being made the bell cord was pulled, bringing out about twenty-five or thirty non-church members who, it is believed, were informed of the attack. This is believed to be true because the ringing of the bell at this time in the evening does not attract any attention other than to notify of a church service later.
Blames Underworld
Rev. Martin has won the name of being a fearless crusader against the liquor interest, gambling dens, dance halls, illegitimate marriage and spiritual delinquency. He said that the underworld has been plotting for some time means of involving him so as to cause his removal.
The Rev. Mr. Martin entered the museum in the assignment at Craco, Md., where he stayed a year. He was at Alreys, Md. two years, at Gammon Theological Seminary two years. McDaniel two years and at Laurel, Del one year.
An official church statement signed by seventeen church officials declared that the two assailants are not members of the conference acts otherwise, our sympathy, support and prayers are with the pastor.
"This has been one of the most harmonious and successful years we have had."
The statement was Whitney, Henry Horsey, Chas, White, John Randolph, Aristie Stewart, John Horsey, Master Williams, Dennis Persona, Edith Cotman, Charles Williams, Harley Whitney, Charles Williams, Wesley Winder, Perry Puckham.

O.K.'s Law Violation
Non-enforcement of 14th Amendment in Interest of Civilization
WASHINGTON, D.C., (CNS.) — Congressman Frank Oliver, democrat, who hails from the Twenty-first district, Bronx County, New York, gave constituents something to john about.
Cumberlsomely harnessing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Eighteenth amendment as a reaffirmation of the federal law, may 18th, Congressman Oliver, after a long and wearisome tirade against Prohibition, rose to the climax of his efforts by the infamous assertion of the federal law, in the interest of civilization, the Federal Government withholds its enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments.
Its failure to act under the power of productive or more benefactions of America than its execution of the mandate of the Eighteenth amendment." The Congress was also quite certain that the freezing of the slaves in the South was not less important actual "enslavement of a free and noble population."
NEW CHAPEL, Md. — James Parker had a narrow escape from serious injury last Wednesday, when he was discharged by forty alpine dogs who were being transported in a truck, and had been let out to feed.
He was brought by the dogs to the woods and was forced down on his hands and knees. In fighting off one of the most vicious of the animals who jumped for his throat, the dogs chose to attract the other dogs. At this time he made his charges West Point is Hell S. Army. West Pointers answer it's calm and peaceful.

Young Doctor Curtis denies Miss Fitzgerald's charges. He makes the counter-charge that on two occasions on which she alleges she was assaulted she attacked him and Mrs. Curtis.
He defended himself, Dr. Curtis sasd and although Miss Fitzgerald struck him, beat him and scratched him about the head and body, he only used sufficient force to restrain her.
Miss Fitzgerald also assaulted Mrs. Curtis, the doctor said, striking, beating and scratching her and inflicting great injuries upon her.
Dr. Curtis is represented by Charles L. Houston.
The Curtis attorneys have summoned the representatives of the APRO-CICAN to bring into court Miss Fitzgerald's affidavit, articles printed concerning the case in 1927 and all pictures and cuts of Miss Fitzgerald in the company's files.
Whether the attorneys intend to plead attempted blackmail as a defense in this case cannot be learned.

In his editorial, Mr. Davis said he had made every man who talks about social equality between white and black races is a fool and the proper subject for an insane asylum, do not believe in, never have, nor will be, in the conflict of opinion between the races" said Mr. Davis. "There is no such thing as social equality within or between any two races. I believe the unanticipated violence of white men of multitude and I wish all white men believed in and practiced the same doctrine of race purity.

WARE'S HOTEL AT SUMMER RESORT RAZED BY FIRE
Two Other Bay Front Cottages Damaged by Flames.
FIREMEN IMPEDED
Water in Hotel and Cottages Cut Off.
HIGHLAND BEACH, Md.
Ware's Hotel was completely destroyed by fire of unknown origin Monday afternoon. Only the ashes and crumpled iron beds and springs remained of the $18,000 40-room summer playhouse.
The proprietor is Richard F. Ware, 1908 Thirteenth Street, nw., Washington.
Beside the Ware Hotel, a frame cottage belonging to Ware's sister-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Hall, was completely destroyed and the frame cottage of Dr. John Washington, Waste Management by fire. Damage to the Washington cottage was estimated at $3,000. All furniture was saved, but the Ware properties, including the furnishings were entirely destroyed. Investigation so far has failed to reveal the cause of the fire. The fireman, Frank Meyer, while, there was nothing amiss at 6:30 p.m. when he passed the premises. A few minutes later, however, he was attracted by a bright glow in the direction of the hotel and rushed to the building to find a bright flame burning about midway the west side of the build-
He immediately attempted to put in a fire alarm but found two of the phones in the cottages out of order.

Firemen Go Astray
Misdirected to the Annapolis Roads Hotel, an exclusive white resort a few miles further up the shore, they lost some time in getting to the actual scene of the fire. Many of the firemen however, seeing the blaze in the distance, crossed the seven frozen creeks andreamed in a cross on the nearby creeks and wells by the time the cumbersome fire-trucks had plowed their way through the snow-covered ice-rutted roads with the apparatus. They had barely arrived when Mr. Haley Douglass, Mayor of Annapolis, arrived, followed shortly by Mr. Ray Murray and a party of friends, all from Washington, D.C. At ten o'clock the Annapolis fire companies were relieved and returned to Annapolis. The Eastport fire company, however, remained until three a.m. before leaving the scene.
Cottage Owners Arrive
Among the other anxious property owners and friends who made the flying trip from Washington to give aid and comfort to the actual firefighters were Mr. William D. Nixon and his daughter; Dr. anne Mrs. A. M.

2 VACANCIES IN DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
---
There are two vacancies in such post in the Department of Justice. They were created in 1921 by the Supreme Court, Parmum and Hertz M. Galloway, both white. Before his retirement December 31, Mr. Galloway promoted Louis P. Meningher to an attorney in the Justice Department in 1926 a year. He was an associate attorney. There is no other colored person in the Justice Department of similar rank. Mr. Meningher began his service as an associate of Justice as a clerk to Perry H. Howard, who was a special assistant to the Attorney General, immediately after graduation from Howard University in June 1921. Under Mr. Howard he became an assistant and then an associate attorney. In July 1928, Mr. Meningher was put in charge of railroad and miscellaneous suits against the Government in the Court of Claims. Upon his retirement in July 1929, he was officially given charge of such cases.
Only one colored man has served as an assistant attorney general of the United States. He served in that position under the Taft administration. Mr. Howard was a specialist assistant to the Attorney General and William C. Matthews and Alexander Martin of Cleveland, also served as specialist assistance to the Attorney General under the Coolidge administration.

LEADERS SPEAK
Profitable Half Day, Says ex-Premier. WASHINGTON, D. C. Between luncheon at the White House and dinner at the British Embassy last Wednesday, General Jan Christian Smuts, white, former Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa, conferred for two hours with a group of twenty white and colored Americans at Howard University on the progress and condition of the Negro and of the interracial problems in
America.
The conference was arranged by the Prelude-Scores fund and President Margaret Johnson, and was held in the Moorland room of Carnegie Library, which contains a precious collection of African and Negro literature. General Smuts stated that it was one of the most interesting and helpful half days spent during the conference.

Nichols of the American Hygiene Association; position, by Miss Nannie Berrings, principal of National Training School; industrial relations, by Dagene Kinkele Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League; agricultural development, by T.

"Patient" Negro
At the conclusion, General Smuts himself addressed the conference focusing upon the American race question and his new understanding of it as a result of the conference. He was particularly impressed with the advances made by the American Negro. Withstanding the differences from the South African race problem, he and the successful solution of the issues in America would have profound effect upon the adjustment of late problems of colonial imprint, especially those of the Union of South Africa.
General Smuts expressed his admiration of the endurance and patience of the colored race, and the long run, work and effort in bringing the long run, work and effort and amity. In New York he had said that the Negro was the most patient next to the jack-

PARHAM'S MAMA SURE HE'LL GO BACK TO SCHOOL
PARHAM'S MAMA SURE HE'LL GO BACK TO SCHOOL
Discharged Cadet Seeks to Make Up in His "Math."
HAS 60 DAYS
He's Good, Says Parent Who Taught 5 Years.
CHICAGO. (ANP)—Alonzo Parham is going back to West Point military academy if it is humanly possible for him to do so.
The subject of mathematics which reared itself like a huge Alps to block the progress of this modern young Hannibal at the academy is to be attacked through study during the abolished sixty days before he makes his final effort to prove that there are rules for determination.
The above is the substance of information obtained from Mrs. Minnie Parham, his mother, following the receipt of a letter from her son after he had left West Point.
"Everything in his letter seemed to indicate that he was not going to give up," Mrs Parham wedgeged proudly. "But he is. He had mail from close personal friends in New York who also say that he intends to dispose of his mathematics deficiency and re-enter West Point."
No Weakness
"Did Alonzo show any weakness in mathematics in the grammar or high school grades?" she was asked. "No, he did not," she replied, "he was good in all his subjects, but he found that his training in mathematics in high school had not prepaRED him for the exact Point. He wrote that whatever difficulties he was having with his subjects were all on his own part."
Taught Him Herself
The mother claimed that he had a good mind and that she had been his teacher through the fifth grade at Talbotton, Georgia. She was passed by the suggestion that Parham might have been the victim of some scheme to get him out that took out sixty-three been aware of. He then fix a scheme to get him out that took out sixty-three white boys also," she asked.
No Complaint
Parham had not complained in any of his letters to her while he was in the academy, Mrs. Parham asserted. In August, she admitted, he was homeschied. She said he was so. He was eighteen, the youngest of her three children, and he had never been away from home before. Outside of this reference to his homeschickness, however, his mother insisted that his letters had all been jolly. He was doing and enjoying. Even his letter written since his departure from the academy was jolly, she stated.
Write Letters
"Last summer before school opened, he wrote us all about the hikes they were taking and the good times they had," she explained. "He said that he was being treated as a kid. He described his trips to Boston, Hartford and New York, with the army football team. He wrote that he had a grand time."
Mrs. Parham admitted that she and her son were sensible of the fact that Negroes are not wanted at West Point, but even realizing that, Parham had not stated that he had found evidence of inhospitation there.
French and Math.
It is rather well-known that mathematics and French are the particular bogeys of new students at West Point and there are professional schools which make music preparations and apprentices to meet these. After Parham was appointed the received advertising matter from one of these schools soliciting his enrollment for the course. He did not enroll, although he and friends would have.
His teachers at Wendell Phillips High School in this city that he had a good friend who taught him four years states that he has an exceptional mind and when she learned that he had been expressed herself as being "shooked."

C. D. Jacobs Backs Move to Oust President. ALUMNI INSULTED Peacock Refused to Appoint Colored Associate
(Reprinted from Last Week's City Edition)
RALEIGH, N.C. — The barring of colored newspapers from the library by President J. L. Peacock, who has halted of a film, "The Millionaire," for Saturday night of last week percipitated aq eight-hour strike, Tuesday.
Students returned to classes at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
NEW YORK. — President J. L. Peacock, white, is responsible for nine years of student uproars at Shaw University and ought to resign, declared C. D. Jacobs, Shaw alumnus, in a statement here this week.
He said:
"I venture the assertion that not one year has passed in nine in which the students have not threatened to strike. And I know that the four years that I was there no peace could be. I saw it then and as I see it now, the source of all the trouble is to be found in the president, Rev. J. L. Peacock.

"He is a Northerner who has gone South and embedded himself in all the 'isms' of the South. He is a member of several of the white clubs of Raleigh, preaches in a white church every Sunday, belongs to the White Republicans and is a poll holder during elections in his district.
Insulted Alumni
"So much is he southernized that he cannot be at ease when he comes in contact with Negroes. I remember on one occasion when the president, secretary and treasurer of the alumni association requested that the burial be replaced by a competent Negro, the president of this college became so insulted that he shouted, "What!

"In general he is a busybody about the campus. He appoints student managers of athletics, arranges or approves, or disapproves, all schedules, sets dates for socials, oversees the cooking and directs the janitors. When he is through builing-in, enemies wrong, and everybody disgusted.
"The recent strike is over the fact that he barred a colored moving picture, 'The Millionaire', claiming it to be indecent, but the students are convinced that his motive was possible concerning themselves, as the theme of this picture was 'a Negro who had more money than religion.'
Oust Peacock
"Undoubtedly Shaw is in a terrible predicament, and the only way out is first to outst the president which he is unmovable and that he will remain there as long as he desires. "It might be, however, that if the alarm bell were to get together one concerted effort that could be be made to change his mind.
Undergoing Ordeal
"The ordeal which the students are now undergoing is hard, and unless we alumni come to their rescue the fate that came to Fisk, Hampton and others in similar instances must be the Shaw. Unless some pressure from some place is brought to bear to remove this Czar who now reigns, God help Shaw."

Wanted on a warrant for non-support in North Carolina, Preston was held in the Central police station pending the arrival of officers who will take him back to face charges by his wife, Mrs. Halese Little.
> WASHINGTON. — (ANP.) — According to the census of 1920, the Negro is dying, the Negro shows a very high percentage of illiteracy, the Negro is losing valuable ground in the industrial field, the Negro cannot do this or that. For the past decade crope has been hunting Negro race with a prop made from the statistics of the United States census.
Dr. DuBois
Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, is certain that the Negro has suffered, not only from the census returns of 1920, but from those of many other decades, especially of 1910. A poll of men of affairs throughout the nation discloses a feeling that census returns concerning the Negro have been inaccurate and that the Negro has been injured in the public esteem because of the "curious chan-
Charles S. Johnson
"The figures of the Negro population, as recorded in the census, give the appearance very definitely of inadequacy and under-statement," believes Charles S. Johnson, head of the department of sociology at Fisk University. "The drop of almost fifty per cent in the rate of increase between 1910 and 1920 the more evident the recurrence of Negro during the migration period which included the last census taking period than to any significant changes in the actual composition of Negro population. This apparent tendency to understatement in population would be reflected in many other fields. For example, the death rates are calculated on the basis of population, and understatement of population exaggerates death rates, and understatement of deaths does not estimate the estimate of fitness of the Negro population itself."
Lose Mulattoes
This view of inadequacy and understanding is shared by many others. N. B. Allen, secretary of the Columbus, Ohio, Urban League, does not believe that "the census, in so far as Negroes are concerned, is usually correctly taken". He, like Dr. DuBois believed that we lose the mulattoes.
From St. Louis
Homer Phillips, St. Louis attorney thinks that the figure of 49,000 for that city "was many thousands below the accurate figure."
Census Careless
Harvey Kerns, secretary of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Urban League, a small, small, small, gathered figures on the Negro population shortly after a census had been taken by the local health department and found errors which he found in collecting the data or a lack of knowledge of where Negroes lived."
Inaccuracy
Other reasons for inaccuracy, besides the difficulty of recognizing multatoes, are the Negroes' fear of the census enumerators, the necessity of both fathers and mothers being out at work when enumerators call, and the accessibility of Negroes who live far from railroads in rural regions.
Cooperate
These reasons, and others, not so easily defined, have caused Negro leaders to regard a plan of cooperation between the directors of the census and the census officers as the greatest accuracy for the 1930 census and a consequent lessening of the dangers of misrepresentation which hurled in the figures of the past.

SIXTY HAITIANS KILLED, 100 HURT BY U.S. MARINES
Secret Advices to Afro Term Struggle Butchery.
FARMERS KILLED
Students Still on Strike; Customs Workers Out.
Secret advices from the Afro's Haitian correspondent at Port au Prince, much delayed by the circuitous channels used for evasion of the censorship at the U.S. Marine - controlled Haitian post offices, describe the machine gun massacre at Aux Cayes as a butchery which becomes more and more horrifying as the details are disclosed.
The U.S. journals reported promptly that six peasants had been killed and twenty wounded. As a matter of fact, bodies were being discovered for days after the massacre in the surrounding cane fields until the number of dead had expanded to the number of wounded to about one hundred.
Odors Led to Bodies
The searchers were frequently guided to a corpse by the odor arising from its putrefaction or by the noise made by dogs fighting for the remains.
And what was the reason for this slaughter of simple-minded and unarmed 'farmers'? Haitian homes were some years ago searched and all firearms confiscated by the U.S. military.
Here is the story from our Haitian correspondent, who, incidentally, has in other days, ranked high in the councils of his country.
300 Marched to Protest
On December 6, three hundred peasants living in the small plain of Torcèbe had left their farms of sugar cane and were en route to Aux Cayes to present to the authorities their protest against the excessive taxes imposed by the American officials in Haiti, upon their distilleries. Some of them had witnessed a few days before, the parades of student strikers. They had reached a place called Croix Marchi a' Terre in the vicinity of Aux Cayes.
The American officer commanding the garrison at Aux Cayes refused them an audience. They in return refused to return to Torbec without the privilege of a hearing. They were unarmed. A group of the sugar cane cutters carried with them their machetes.
Machine Guns Open Fire
A little before five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, a column of marines armed with machine guns, rather than rifles, left their barracks at Aux Cayes and, marching to Croix where the peasants had halted, opened fire. A wild panic followed. Yet, the group carrying machetes, intrepidly faced the marines and were quickly annihilated by the machine guns. It was a butchery.
Explored Cane Fields
On the 6th, the same evening, forty dead were found lying on the spot and thirty-three wounded were brought to the hospital at Aux Cayes. But during the night of the 8th, many wounded and dead were carried away by their relatives, for the cane fields on both sides of the

No Firearms
These peasants, without a single firearm, were not rebels but peacekeepers, who were fighting for seeking the privileges of presenting their grievances to the government authorities. Anti-American feeling has been noticeably increased by the influx of Afghans to the intimidation, the result has been an augmented resentment against the whole system of military tyranny and the lack of respect than fourteen years over the "republic" of Haiti by the American marine occupation. Representations and protests have been the chief of the American occupation against the order forbidding lights in Haitian homes after nine o'clock at night.
Thoby Issues Danial
Monsieur Perceval Thoby, formerly charge d'affaires of the Halitan legation at Washington, has made categorical denial of ever having signed a request for U.S. "supervision" of the Halitan elections. He did sign a request, however, for the U.S. government to "guarantee that the legation will not be held" right which has been denied the voters in Haliti for many years. Other advices indicate that the students are still on strike protesting the treatment of the helit and fifty workers in the custom house have joined them.

Arkansas Democrat Opposed Aid to Suffering Porto Ricans.
CITES DIXIE CASE
No Federal Aid Asked then, He Said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Notwithstanding the protest of Representative Otis Wingo, Democrat, of Arkansas, the House fast Saturday passed a Senate joint resolution authorizing an appropriation of $3,000,000 for the relief of Porto Ricans, whose plantations and schoolhouses were damaged in a hurricane in September, 1928.
Mr. Wingo protested against passage of the legislation on the ground that there was no more reason for such relief to Porto Ricans than for people in this country. He cited the case of a colored community in the Southwest that had just as much claim on the Federal treasury.
He said he knew communities that were in the same condition. I thank the community in a southwestern State, a colored community, where poor colored people live.
"I did not live in that community and it was not in my district, but I went into my pocket to help rebuild their churches and their schools, because I happened to know a few from the district. They were poverty-striken colored people. Their homes, their stock, their schools, their churches were all destroyed by a storm. The Congressman did not think of asking the Government to rebuild the churches and the schoolhouses for these poor, poor people. Mr. Wingo would not object to consideration of the resolution under unanimous consent. The resolution goes to the President for approval.
Lily Whites Beat Walter Cohen Again
NEW ORLEANS, La. — (ANP.)— Walter Cohen lost the decision in his fight against the so-called "Lily-white" faction of Republicans here Monday when the court of appeals decided against his claims and those of his adherents that they were entitled to places on the Republican state central committee. The case at point, however, hinged on a technicality, not whether the defendants had an original right to their seats. The fight of the Lily-wits party party Cohen started two and a half years ago and has been featured by many political skirmishes which have led all the way to Washington. Cohen was urged to become minister to Liberia in order to get him out of the way.

COMMUNION OPEN
All Races Welcome, Fr. Barley Declares.
St Pius Roman Catholic Church, Edmondson Avenue and Schroder Street, is not attempting to segregate colored Catholics who attend, according to Father Leo J. Barley, the pastor, Monday. The priest told the APRO-AMERICAN that the church attendance is usually around thirty while the auditorium seats eight hundred persons. In order to prevent the necessity of straining his voice, he asked that ordinary hemp ropes be crossed across the lower part of the side aisles to the lowest of the worshipers be compelled to use the middle side and sit, well forward.
All Welcomed
Aked if Catholics of all races were welcomed to the communion, Father Barley answered:
"Absolutely. There is no discrimination."
Father Barley's statement is a denial of a report made to the AFRO by a visiting Catholic who said that he found discrimination at St. Francis. His statement, in part, is that a rope at St. Plus Church that is a rope drawn across the section where the colored people usually sit. I wonder Archbishop Curley know about it. As we are told, there is no difference in Heaven, so why should there be on earth?
Usher Turned Them Back
"Sunday, January 19th, some colored people wanted to go to Communion, but they did not. They started up the middle aisle and one of the fathers turned them back. I would like to know whether colored Catholics are in the church. I do not think the church of God is the place to do that.

RICHMOND. — The third of a series of sermons on "The Life and Teachings of Jesus," was delivered by the Rev. Joseph T. Hill, at Second Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Sunday. The sermon was called "Hils Temptations." The first temptation was discussed at the morning service, while the second and third temptations were talked on at the evening service.

Deviating from his regular discourse, Rev. Hill soared with his listeners when he condemned jumping from the bus and taking a disgrace to the pulpit.
A special feature of the evening service was an address by James H. Murphy, of the Baltimore AFO-AMERICAN, who told of the champion of the race in fighting its battles.
James W. Streater, a World War veteran who is attempting to circle the globe on foot, was also a speaker at the event. He told his adventures during the 12,500 miles he has already covered.

DANILLE Va.—"White churches have been the greatest set of segregationists and jim-crow promoters in history," said L. F. Coles, of Philadelphia, in an address here Tuesday, delivered to the International Denominational Church gathering in the United States that freely and willingly welcomes Negroes in large numbers," declared Mr. Coles. "Most white churches have a well defined method of finding seats for Negroes in the back. There isn't a single white sectarian school that will accept a large number of Negroes. Most of the hospitals, sanitariums, orphanages and old folks homes refuse admission to the members of our group."
Quaker Segregationists
'Regarding the Quaker sect, Mr. Coles said: "Quakers, although somewhat sympathetic to the Negro, have been the biggest segregationists on the quiet. The three leading Quaker colleges in the United States do not admit the race. "They send very few colored missionaries to Africa to work among the natives. This is largest true of denomination. They do not want Negroes in their churches and build separate churches for them. The white people will do missionary work in Africa, but refuse to admit the race in their churches here."
Seventh-Day Adventist
"The Seventh-Day. Adventist Church," he said, "has 43 sanitariants in the United States, representing a cost of $577,700,100.63, of which was contributed by colored churches, no colored patients are admitted to the church. Adventists have many schools throughout the country, but only one or two admit students of the race. The Adventist conference will not permit members of the race to preside over even local conferences. Alabama the conference a school for black no Negro is allowed to teach in the institution."
Christian Associations
"So-called Christian associations," continued Mr. Coles, "are adjuncts to the school to give students aitude in their dealings with the race that is assumed by the white churches. We must refer to them as the "W.C.A." and the "Y.M.C.A." The same is true of the W.Y.C.A. Members of the race are generally not admitted to the schools, they are obligated to into their conferences at school, not into their permitted to bat in the pools."
Science Liberal
Mr. Coles quoted President Mordecai Johnson, of Howard University, as having said that science seems to be more liberal than religion in dealing with Negroes. As an illustration, three leading universities were cited as having negroes in their students, but then is no white theological seminary that will permit a member of the race to teach in the institution.

BAPTIST HEAD PARTIAL, LOCAL MINISTERS SAY
The Rev. A. J. Payne Accused of Giving Appointments to Friends. MEETING CALLED
Rev. J. Gray Holds Conference Thursday.
What is probably the beginning of a further split among state Baptists was indicated this week when the Rev. A. J. Payne, president of the Maryland Baptist Association, was accused at the Baptist Ministers Association, Monday, of partiality in making appointments.
The accusations grew out of the appointment of the Revs. J. W. Winston, Beal Elliott, S. H. James, D. W. Yerby, J. H. Young, J. T. Boddie, W. Allen, G. J. Garnett and J. Greene with the Rev. Mr. Payne as chairman, to the Maryland Committee of the Jubilee Commission of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., incorporated.
The committee, which will gather statistics, relics, photos, books, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, and such other productions of and by Negroes of the State of Maryland is said by the Rev. Mr. Payne to have been appointed by the National Convention. According to the contending factors by the Rev. Junius Gray, pastor of the Psalmist Baptist Church, the committee was not appointed by the national body, but by the Rev. Mr. Payne himself. In some cases, Dr. Payne and the committee have recently come to Maryland and are not qualified, because of their limited time of residence in the state, to compile a statistical record of Maryland Baptist
Dr. Gray contended further that the committee could not have been appointed by the national body because some of the committee are not members of the national convention.
Dr. Gray declared that the committee should consist of laymen as much as possible like this should be large enough to include all and not exclude any. He named Louis H. Davenport, M. Fisher, D. Cook, Lander Thomas, Rev D. G. Cox, and James Williams, Rev R. D. Johnson, Rev Widgeon, Fairfield, Rev Reuben Johnson, Mt. Winans, Rev James Robertson, Rev J. H. Taylor, James Jones, and Rev. Simon Williams.
He added that it is important for the United Baptist Convention to be careful because the Maryland Baptist membership than the convention.
No Long Residence Needed
"A long residence is not essential to the compiling of statistics," the Rev. Payne told an AFRO reporter, "but proper training is. Men were selected for the committee who have the necessary experience for work. The men who are kicking are in some cases, men who are not properly fitted to carry out such a commission but yet feel that they must run everything." The Rev. Mr. Payne for the body the committee, he and the committee had been appointed and they would put the job over, "in spite of hell." The Rev. Junius Gray announced an executive meeting of Baptists at the Psalmist Church Thursday, in the hopes that to deal with the situation

Educated vs. Ignorant Ministry.
The educated versus the ignorant ministry was the subject discussed at the A.M.E. Preachers' Meeting on Monday, as the result of a paper read by the Rev. J. E. Lee, pastor of Shiloh A.M.E. Church, entitled, "The Church and the Negro Ministry." Big Man Wants Big Charge--The Rev. C. C. Handy, pastor of Mt. Winns A.M.E. Church, said: "The educated minister doesn't want to go where he is most needy, the little man is the ignorant minister, the educated and build up the church. The educated minister, when placed at a little charge, kicks up the devil to get away. He wants to get to the big church. We need the ignorant minister to build up the churches of
Blind Leading the Blind—George Biddle, retired public school principal, challenged the Reagan administration to an ignorant minister, preaching to an ignorant congregation is a case of the blind leading the blind. "An ignorant minister can't lift an ill person, and he would be a joke to an intelligent congregation," Mr. Biddle said, adding, "an educated minister is needed for the churches
Baptize the Ministry—"What we need to do is to baptize this ministry of today and introduce revivals into the churches. What do the big preachers, or the big pastors, have going gone through college and got degrees, but buy automobiles, play politics and run for the bishopship? It is the little preacher, the uneducated minister, the people who have gone to college and fell into the Holy Ghost," declared the Rev. A. A. Murray, pastor of Falls Road A.M.E. Church.
Don't Belittle Education—"It is not the man we are discussing but the man for the minister to be belittle education," said Rev. C. H. Steptheau, pastor of BETHE A.M.E. Church. "It doesn't require a college to prepare a man for the minister to be belittle education. Nor does it mean necessarily that he depends upon pulp or politics, or planning how to kill the other fellow. We must appreciate intelligence. A man can't preach unless he knows what will fail from God and can he will get credit for that."
"Holding a diploma is not all that is needed in the ministry, but a more ability to meet the requirements to
"Ministers ought not to fill up the pupils and conference unless they have made a preparation little the hard work the sick a man he loves has a college education," he said in closing.
People Don't Want Ignorance—declared the Rev. J. T. Colbert, pastor of the church, people of today don't want it, and furthermore, they won't have it. They need today an educated ministry and it is unjust to denounce the educated ministry any other needs it more
A Few Ignorant People Needed Yet—Bishop A. L. Gaines thought that a few ignorant ministers are needed yet. Some educated preachers haven't the ability to deliver the gospel so the common people can understand

"ALL - WAYS" BALTIMORE'S BEST DENTISTS
Local Pastors Say Membership on the Increase in City Churches.
OPINIONS DIFFER
Methodist Episcopals Lost
50,000 in Past Year.
Opinions differ among local pastors as to whether church attendance is on the increase or decrease, it was found in a survey made by the AFRO-AMERICAN this week.
Of the statement made last week by members of the M.E. Ministers' conference that the radio, employment conditions and heavy church taxes were causing startling losses in membership in the churches, Dr. F. F. King, district superintendent of the South Baltimore district of the M.E. Church, said:
"This condition does not apply to all the churches nor to all the sections of the country. For instance, there has been a tremendous increase in membership in the church since the Rev. G. Y. Trigg was appointed there. though it is true that the Methodist Episcopal denomination has lost more than 50,000 members during the past year."
Baptists Increase
"According to reports made by Baptist ministers, the attendance in our churches is on the increase," the Rev. W. W. Allen, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Ministers, told the Baptist Ministers' Association, told and AFRO reporter. "Despite the upheaval in a few churches recently which resulted in splits, these churches, now under new pastors, doing nicely." Rev. M. Allen, said The Rev. C. S. Briggs, pastor of the Centennial M.E. Church said there had been very little variation in the attendance in his church during the past two years.
Rev. Bragg Talks
"I can not make a statement about other churches, but at my church the attendance is increasing," said the Rev. George F. Bragg, pastor of the St. James Episcopal church. Reports of ministers of the Methodist and Baptist denominations showed that more than 150 members were added to these churches in evangelistic services held here, last week.

TREATY ILLEGAL
U.S. Violating Sovereignty of the Republic.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Replacement of Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, United States High Commissioner of Haiti, with a civil governor was urged by Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah, at the White House last Sat., March 16, in a conference with President Hoover.
He urged also that American marines be withdrawn and Haiti notified that the United States would end intervention when that country adopted a constitution and set up a government of its own. Such a program, Senator King stated, would respond "I believe," said Senator King in analyzing the Haitian situation, "that our intervention in Haiti was not justified; that it violated the sovereignty of Haiti and was an injustice." He had introduced a resolution in the Senate demanding withdrawal of American marines from Haiti and the calling for a, constitutional convention so that the United States could adopt a new constitution because it forced one upon them which abrogated the sovereign rights of Haiti.
Civil Glvernor
"I have bitterly opposed President Borno of Haiti. A civil governor should be appointed. Marines should be withdrawn except a small number of officers. The president should store. I believe we are in Haiti under an illegal treaty."
Senator King said that while he favored a civilian governor for Haiti, he would not agree to go along with President in his proposal for a commission to study the problem. He did not think he said, that a commission could ascertain anything under the present military regime.

Debutantes' Party
NEW YORK.—Every dance to which I go, I think the best and nicest of any given yet, and I am not in the least unmindful of all the other preceding swell hops such as the formats given by the Black Sheep, the Kappa Karnival, the Comus Club, the Omega Psi Phi—but in all honesty we can't help but think that the Deb's formal, last Thursday, January 16th at the swankie Alhambra ballroom, was the very best.
The background, a beautiful ballroom, the soft lighting effects, the music and Chick Webb's orchestra did its duty and more. The women, their gorgeous gowns, the equally handsome men—on, everything—just was ideal. No wonder the Debuntes are popular!
As we arrived, each guest was handed the cutest dance programmes, red and black, touched up with gold here and there, with an ultra modern cover of a flapper deb and the boy friend doing the Black Bottom—or something. It depended on one's imagination. To me they seemed to be dancing while in the meanwhile kissing a little bit, too.
Then on, upstairs, to behold an immense dance floor filled with dancers. As the lights were rather dim, it wasn't until the ballroom was brightened during each intermission that my eyes saw—the president of the Debs, popular Marion Moore Day, in black tulle and taffets; Dr. and Mrs. Walter G. Alexander, of Orange, N.J.; Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kinckle Jones, of Plushing; Dr. and Mrs. Edward Gunningham Dr. and Mrs. Albert Read, Ira DeA. Reid of the Urban League; Robert Elzy, secretary of the Brooklyn Urban League; the Alexander F. Millers, Lucille Randolph, the Eugene D.

Taylor Gordon Born to be a Host
At last I have found out what Taylor Gordon was born to Be. He was born for nothing except to be fascinating, gracious, thoughtful—the perfect host. And the Lloyd Thomases. Walter Whites, Elmer Corter, Aaron Douglasses, Vertner Tandys, Caska Bond, Eddie Coates, Justin Sandridge, the Rudolph Fishers, Pearl Fisher, Dennis McClennan, Bessye Bearden, the John Finleys. Dr. Mary Jane Watkins, A'Leila Walker, Mayne White and Ben Wilson will agree with me, because they were guests at his Bon Voyage party, Friday night at the Dark Tower for some friends who sailed the next day for London. It was a terribly smart affair, one of those businesses which started at eleven, lasted until dawn and hung over the next day.
In fact, you really felt it most about noon Saturday. However, Nappy and his Oang played the dance music, Justin Sandridge played the classical music, I believe someone sang. A lot of blue book people came from downtown, the liquids haven't given out yet—in short, it was a grand party.
Another Delany

The Blacn Boy and West Point
Bv WILLIAM PICKENS
Of course, nobody in his right mind, and knowing the people of this country, will pretend to say that a Negro cadet at West Point would be treated by everybody there with courtesy or consideration or kindness. But what is the earthly use of insisting that the black boy, Parham, did not get a square deal in his studies and from his superiors, when he himself says he was "fairly treated in every way"? I think colored people make a mistake when they believe that all anguages that do not exist there are plenty of existing wrongs for them to exercise their feelings on. We do not need to add any ghosts to the awful realities of daily life in America.
It is a terrible mistake to magnify the difficulties; perhaps a more serious mistake, in such cases as this, than a bit of minimizing the difficulties. I will try to do either: a colored boy in West Point or in Annapolis will find that he has to do a bit better than the white boys, in every activity, just as is true also at Yale and Harvard. He will need to do the same order to get the same opportunities. But that is exactly what Negroes have to do all over the United States, and what handicapped minorities have to do all over the earth—and all through the world. And if a colored boy goes through West Point successfully, he will still have to deliver a bit more if he gets up in the army—and may not then get all that unbased judgment from his boy. He is going to succeed in all he must have the courage—and the tact-of the late Colonel Charles Young.
Sixty-three white boys failed; one colored boy failed. In an unimaginable story to a friend, the colored boy says:
"I was fairly treated in every way. I will try the examination in March. The Commandant of Cadets was very much pleased to know that I would try. We will let it stand at that—and look forward.

HARLEM LAUGHS AS NIGHT CLUB IS SMASHED UP
High Hat Plantation Club Wrecked by Fake Police.
Watchmen Told Wreckers Were Inspectors.
By FRANK BYRD
NEW YORK.—While William Hill, owner of the exclusive Plantation Club, 80 West 126th Street, angrily surveyed the ruins of his former palatial resort last Thursday night, many of Harlem's night club and speakeasy racketeers and not a few of its residents were rubbing their hands in glee and secretly chortling over what is ordinarily no laughing matter. At eleven o'clock Thursday night, Harry, the Sellick, portmanteau of the club, was surprised by the entrance of ten white men. One of them carried a bag loaded with tools. The gang leader immediately announced that they were federal men detailed to "make an inspection," and ordered the porters under supervision two of his men in the cellar.
Waited Two Hours
The porters waited for nearly two hours while the "federal men" wrecked everything of value in the place with picks, axes and crowbars. Beginning with a the $2,500 mahogany piano, and the costly band instruments which were twisted out of shape, the intruders smashed benches and wall tapestries in wholesale fashion, even slashing and tearing the gorgeous $10,000 costumes. The waxed, glasslike floor that has made a reputation for the club, was torn up in several places by a swinger of a "wicked hatchet," leaving great yawning holes in the floor. The police were released, they called police from the 123rd Street Precinct. The inspectors, Edward Lennon and Archie McNeill, came in answer to the summons, but have reported on new developments in the city. They suspect rival night club management.
Harlemites Laugh Last
Although Hill and the large personnel of his swank establishment, including the performers in the Jungle Drum routine, he is also the highest of the majority of Harlemites are getting a loud laugh at the club that announced subtly through its publicity agent, a preference for women, that automatically excluded the ordinary Harlemite who cannot afford a Rolls Royce or a sleaving wrap, or what have you. Harlem was offended to occupy its designated to the dingy basement "speaks" where color lines do not exist. Now, however, Harlem is laughing—long and loud. It refuses to be segregated and will hold up thirty-five men to work to restore the place, Monday.

NEW YORK.—I would go, insane in America if I did not have a sense of humor," T. Thomas Fortune Fletcher, poet and graduate student of English and Journalism at Columbia University, told a' group of students in an address on "The New Negro in Literature," Friday evening before the Cosmopolitan Club of New York University at the clubroom, 76 Washington Square. The group a year ago, Mr. Fletcher said, "I had an amusing experience. I sailed aboard the S.S. Rotterdam and was the only colored person aboard. Imagine my surprise my first night aboard ship when someone knocked at my door. It was late and I had retired. Opening the door cautiously, I was confronted by three young white men, all of them embarrassed, more or less brave, and I was shocked. "Pardon me, I disturbing you, Mr. Fletcher, but a young lady upstairs sent us to borrow your banjo."
"It took me several minutes to convince these young men that although I was a Negro and a native of Kentucky, I did not own or play a banjo. I mention this illustration of the white man or woman's ignorance about matters which concern the Negro."
Mr. Fletcher said that he regarded Negro literature as being in its infancy, but that it shows healthier writing. In the novel, he spoke of the work of Walter White, Jessie Fauster, Dr. DuBois, Claude Mackay, Nella Larsen and Rudolf Fisher. The faults of the present novel is its tendency toward propaganda. Art is not propaganda and until the novelist takes cognizance of this fact, his work will suffer. The novelist describes errors. In addition to reading a few of the shorter poems of Countie Cullen, Georgia Douglass Johnson and Lewis Alexander, Mr. Fletcher read a number of his own poems which were enthusiastically received, particularly a poem entitled "Enquires" which follows:
"Wrap me in a shroud of dull blue, the color of my dreams;
In the dark earth.
With empty dreams unfulfilled."
Another revealing his keen sense of humor is "even when it should be.
High above the ground:
Some feel good pluck it down."

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM ASKED IN BOSTON
Foremen First on List; Centified but is Not Notified to Report.
Governor Not to Renamo Commissioner.
BOSTON, Mass. — The Godwin-Scott's Civil service fight in Boston was advanced one stage last week when Governor Allen, who on January 9 ran out of a hearing appointment, was given time again after the delegation arrived at the State House, notified Secretary William Monroe Trotter that the chairman of the Civil Service Board, Elliot P. Goldwin, white, had consented to certify for the fourth time Anastasia L. Larson, the late Rev. William H. Scott, as foremen which would be unusual. He also offered to grant a hearing.
Albert Wolff, attorney for the Scotts, had asked the chairman to exercise this prerogative because the Scotts, number one and three, later one and two on the list, had been cheated out of appointments by not being notified when certified, through an agreement between the chairman and officers seeking appointees.
The league took the position that positive correction of the injustice was needed and asked another hearing date against the chairman's own re-appointment to a new term.
Democrat Busy, too
Representative Holand S. Sawyer, of Ware, Democrat and Congregational minister, appealed for the support of a bill filed by him last week providing that there shall be no discrimination against applicants for state employment because of race or religion.

Angry Collector Kicked Over Girl's Seat in Trolley Car Causing Her to Fall.
CONDUCTOR SILENT
Power Company Promises to Investigate His Conduct.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-W. R. Jolly, white, agent of the Interstate Life Insurance Company, who kicked a trotle seat in front of him occupied by Miss Sharpe Sharpe, 16, causing her to fall to the floor, has lost his job and is facing a charge of felonious assault. Miss Sharpe, in company with other girls, boarded a car en route to high school, in which the only seats vacant were by Jolly. The girl took the seat from off of him, the salesman kicked the back of the seat over, causing Miss Sharpe to fall. The girl companions were out of names by Jolly when they tried to take the seat from off of him. The car conductor offered no assistance. The matter was reported to W. A. Robinson, principal of Austin High School, from a colored family where he had gone to collect insurance. The manager of the company fired Jolly. The power company promised to investigate the negligence of the car conductor.
The girl's father, the Rev. J. Sharpe, of Fountain City AMEZ. J. Sharpe was a well-agent. Jolly later went to the Austin High School and requested to be allotted a place in the other young ladies. He was permitted to do so in presence of the principal. He is free under bond pending trial, for assault, charge.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1908)
It seems that the republicans in Congress are considerably exercised as to whether Afro-Americans throughout the country are going to take the advice of Secretary Taft and become independent. It seemed that in the northern and western states where the colored people get very little government patronage many of them are going to the future thereby imperil their little friends independently the publican party. It would be a part of wisdom for them to do it in one or two elections, since were done, things would change materially for the better for the colored people throughout the
It seems that the republicans in Congress are considerably exercised as to whether Afro-Americans throughout the country are going to take the advice of Secretary Taft and become inde-
Pendent. It is feared that in the northern and western states where the colored people get very little government patronage many of them in the future might act with their white friends independently and to insult the ascendancy of the republican party. It would be a part of wisdom for them to do it in one or two elections. If this were done, things would change materially for the better for the colored people throughout the country.
Birthdays
Flowers on the desk—a birthday remembrance—
wring up a series of recollections.
Twelve years ago—Rejected by a bluff old re-
rulting officer examining candidates for the offi-
cers' training camp. Des Moines, Iowa, as
underweight and underheight. But the worst
was the eye. "Two-sevenths," he said. If that
was the eye, "Two-sevenths of normal vision, it wasn't
nought to shoot Germans.
Twenty-two years ago—Room rent was paid.
Do was tuition, but even a freshman at Howard
university couldn't live without eating. Food was
cheap enough at Scott's. Breakfast: oatmeal,
roll, oil, butter, cost eleven cents; oatmeal,
one vegetable (no deserts), twenty-one
items—the extra cent for butter. For lunch,
he cost five cents. Appetite could be curbed by
drawing the notch tighter.
Before the last few pennies were spent, came
mandalay. It involved a two-mile walk four
days a day to Brightwood, but at the other end
was waiting at table, washing dishes, a meal and
a 5.0 a week in wages.
Thirty-five years ago—A busy parent took a
thirty-year old youngster, clad in home-made pants
and coat, to a new elementary school at Carroll-
on and Riggs Avenues. After the first grade,
and left him. The waitment was a slow process
drawn from nine until eleven, he sat
the front bench of a class room. At last
there flowered upon tears to relieve a tired
and overwrought heart.
The first birthday—A cold, snowy, January
day following a night of anguish. At nearly noon
the nurse could tell a much relieved mother "it's
all over." She smiled and felt better at once.
There were already five girls, and over the fourth
day this one was dead, but at least its lungs were
musty and he both fell asleep.

DePriest's Job
For over a quarter of a century white United
States Congressman have been appointing white
boys to the military school at West Point and
the naval school at Annapolis.
If it occurred to any of them to name colored
adets, the public never learned of it.
Since Mr. Oscar Priest (Rep. Ill.) named
colored adets both academies, our white folk
grips surprise that he expects to continue naming
nigro cedets.
The Associated Press (white), manifesting its
make-believe astonishment, quoted Mr. DePriest
last week as follows:
"I alonzo Parham is definitely discharged I
shall appoint another colored boy because, of all
members of Congress, I am the only one who
would appoint a boy of the race with which I
am identified."
Even the "teacher-vane" Chicago Bee, noting
the supposed astonishment at Mr. DePriest's
admissions, suggests that the Congressman
might name one white boy to indicate that
he has no race prejudice, and to show himself a
model to the four hundred white members of
Congress.
Happily Mr. DePriest has not been led astray
by either tempters or betrayers. Whatever else
may be said of him, he no bandana. He
accomplishes, in putting boys to GO TO
GO TO GO THROUGH them is the important thing.
That is his job and he appears absolutely conscious of it.

Appetite could be curbed by drawing the belt a rotten tighter. Before the belt was tightened it involved a two-mile walk four times a day to Brightwood, but at the other end was waiting at table, washing dishes, a meal and $1.50 a week in wages.

Registration was a slow process, those days and the branch of a class room. At last she flowed tears upon tears to relieve a tired and overwrought heart.

The Associated Press (white), manifesting its make-bake astonishment, quoted Mr. DePriest last week as follows: "If Alonzo Parham is definitely discharged I shall appoint a bradged boy because, of all the Congress, I am the only one who would appoint a boy of the race with which I identified." Even the "weather-vane" Chicago Bee, noting the supposed astonishment at Mr. DePriest's cadet nominations, suggests that the Congress-man might name one white boy to indicate that he has no race prejudice, and to show himself as one of the four hundred while members of Congress. Happily Mr. DePriest has not been led astray by either tempers or betrayers. Whatever else may be said of him, he wears no bandana. He accomplishes little by getting boys to GO TO West Point and Annapolis; getting qualified boys to BEHIGH them is the important thing that is his job and he appears absolutely conscious of it.
Prophet Schuyler
"Complete social equality may not come in this generation," says Mr. George S. Schuyler in the American Mercury, "but in 70 years a full-blooded American Negro will be rare enough to get a job in the army. Our estimates 10,000 mixed marriages. Freed by the 19th Amendment, he reports white women are bolder than men in crossing the interracial marriage line.
It seems strange that anybody with the results of 850 years of slow race intermigration in front of him, should expect the melting pot to simmer twelve times faster in the next two generations.
In addition, it appears downright short-sighted not to take into account what science may be expected to do even in the next ten years.
It is true that beauty specialists have been unable to grow hair on bald heads where it is not possible to grow hair where it is not desired. Yet science has discovered how to make you thin or fat, wrinkled or smooth-skinned. It can sew up your heart or take out a kidney, remove a patch on the head, dig in, and change you from a criminal to a saint.
"Complete social equality may not come in this generation," says Mr. George S. Schuyler in the American Mercury, "but in 70 years a full-blooded American Negro will be rare enough to get a job in a museum." Mr. Schuyler estimates 10,000 mixed marriages. Tweed, the 90th Amendment, he reports white women are bolder than men in crossing the interracial marriage line.
It seems strange that anybody with the results of 350 years of slow race intermixture in front of him, should expect the melting pot to simmer twelve times faster in the next two generations.
In addition, it appears downright short-sighted not to take into account what science may be capable of in years. It is true that because specialists are unable to grow hair on bald heads where it is wanted or keep hair from chins where it is not desired. Yet science has discovered how to make you thin or fat, wrinkled or smooth-skinned. It can see up your heart or take out a kidney, remove a patch on the head, dig in, and change you from a criminal to a saint. Experimenting with animals science has been able only prophylaxis, but to determine it, and interchange males and females after they have been born.
With all of this increase in human and animal knowledge, it is unlikely that the chemistry of skin will lag behind for long. The skin of humans and Poro College will whiten and lighten complexions and when that time arrives, the color problem will automatically disappear.
Fifty years from now, readers of Mr. Schuyler's article will characterize him as a poor prophet of the human body's capabilities, neglected to take into account the fact that he lives in an age predominantly scientific.
L. F. Coles charges West Point is Hell to enlisted men of the U.S. Army. West Pointers answer it may be Hell, but it's calm and peaceful.

Pray for Bishop Carey.
To the Editor:
A Catholic prayed prayer for Bishop Archibald J. Carey, for you don't know what you would have done were you in his place.
Bishop Carey's case is not half as bad as a man who works a whole family, twelve months and gives them a warm and little syrup to eat and takes even the hogs and all their corn out of their crib and leaves them without food even at Christmas and refuses to lend them a dime.
Bishop Carey's mistake came by failing to obey God when I told him the word from the Lord—to resign as bishop. All men in all walks of life seek much of this world's goods and honor with wealth. Some go farther than others because of their faith. The man who runs the blind tiger is not the sponsor at all times.

The editorial from the Bainbridge (Ga.) Post, re-printed in your issue of January 4, prompts me to say that there are enough white men to be my battles and the N.A.A.C.R. has no time to shed tears over the lynching of a white man. If the white South cannot protect itself from mob violence, that is its own affair. We have our own battles to fight. Let me talk about the white man is lynched white preachers do not say a word of protest about it. Nor do the priests sing "Requiesc in pace" over his burnt and charred body. Let us learn a lesson from this. The white man cannot protect himself from his own barbarism, how in the hell can we expect him to protect us? We must protect ourselves.
Has Anybody Tried to Tell You a "Dry Powder" Fire Extinguisher?
To the Editor:
A statement of the so-called dry-powder type have commercially exploited for a great many years. They usually consist of a tin can about two inches in diameter and 20 or 24 inches long, containing a powder. The powder usually consists of a fine powder, small enough to be for example clay or brick dust and the like to keep the clay from caking and probably to give it a distinctive color.
Extinguisher of the kind just described are the hands of a fireman. In comparison with other available first-aid equipment as to be practically worthless for the general purposes for which such equipment is intended.
It is suggested that a small pamphlet, "Regulations for the National Board of the Fire Underwriters for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of First Aid Fire Appliances," recommended by the National Fire Protective Association, 87 Milk street, Boston, Mass., would be of interest.

Leadership is a Matter of Fitness Rather Than Of Profession. The AFRO Believes Bishop Hurst Well Qualified for the Haitian Commission.
To the Editor:
Permit me to compliment, as well as publicly endorse the intelligent stand taken by Mr. Henry Arnold in a letter published in the Baltimore Sunday. Sumner's appointment of the Row, John Hurst, bishop of the A.M.E. Church, to the Haitian Commission.
All intelligent members of our racial group are sick and tired of the preacher being forced upon us as a spokesman for our group. The days can not spread for the race of the people for the A.M.E. church, which he administers.
The United States census for 1928 shows that all the branches of our Methodism combined number one-fourth of the Negro church population. Why don't we demand the appointment of some given accomplishment of our group? What's the matter with Vanu of Pittsburgh, Carl Murphy of Baltimore, Spaulding of Durham, DuBois of New York, or Rich of Norfolk? We are not bankrupt for leadership, but it seems that there is a certain element that is traditionally inclined to think that we are a people that must be represented by the clergy or some fraternal leader.

More About West Point
Klan Threats Will Not Deter Correspondent Coles, who Criticises Jim Crow Conditions at the U.S. Military Academy, "Loose Talk." was the Answer of West Pointer Lyle.
To the Editor:
I had intended to close my argument about West Point, since none of my opponents has answered any of the questions which I raised. Most of them tried to damn me right out, which of course is not the logical thing for anybody in a
My reason for writing further about the matter is. I received three letters all of which were written by the same person, or persons in a closely confederate group, that they recalled I looked like and that I had better watch my step else the Ku Klux Klan will visit my home and devour me. My answer to them is this: I don't care a tinker's damn about klansmen; he only thing he regrets is that I have been in their beds and pillow cases from their heads which hide their identity.
The sergeants claim that my reference to Alonzo S. Parham is malapropos. Not being a Harvard man as most of the sergeants of West Point are, I do not know the meaning of the word he told me it means inappropriate, or out of place.
All of my writers referred to Prof. Gordon B. Hancock's article which appeared in the Norfolk Journal and Guide for Saturday, January 14, 1984. The article, "Ocean Hard Good," and pointed out that he is a Harvard graduate and a professor of sociology at the Union University, Richmond, Va. I did not know the school from which Prof. Hancock finished his degree, but I know that his fresh Harvard, which does not mean much. Someone said that Harvard is "a great place for polishing stones and dimming diamonds." All three of the sergeants who did not give their agreement with Mr. George W. Butler, Quarters 63, West Point, N.Y., that West Point is a beautiful place. So say I. But that does not deny the fact that West Point has horrible conditions there. The sergeant who did not give electric light and steam heat, though he will get them in time. I am quite certain he is referring to Sergeant Dean, who went to West Point as a major in 1924, and was reduced to a sergeant by the war. He did not have any steam heat and without any steam heat he and is still living without these modern improvements. Of course there are more sergeants there without these things, but only one is without these things, and without any steam heat he and is still living without these modern improvements. Of course there are more sergeants there without these things, but only one is without these things, and without any steam heat he would resent it except a set of hat-in-hands.
The three sergeants seem to think that the AFRO-AMERICAN would show itself more many times, would fight jimcrowism and segregation in Baltimore than that West Point. To this I would say that they do not read the AFRO-AMERICAN consistently for it has fought jimcrowism and segregation from its very inception, and is still doing so. It has fought the city council and the NAACP, and has segregated and everything else that has been inimical to the Negro's welfare in Baltimore and everywhere else. In fact there are only four papers in this country that take an upstanding position. The Negro Infermor, edited by C. F. Richardson, Houston, Texas; Norfolk Journal and Guide, edited by P. B. Young, Norfolk, Va; the Black Dispatch, edited by C. F. Richardson and the BALTIMORE AFRO-AMERICAN, edited by Carl Murphy, Baltimore, Md.
I do not claim that these papers are always right, nor do I contend that there are not other papers which take a definite base on important questions. Ask me if the four papers named do it more consistently than the rest, and they are being edited in southern cities, especially the Houston Informer and the Black Dispatch, where it is much more costly to take the position that they take than it is in Philadelphia, New York and Chicago.

For the sake of good journalism, don't you think it about time to call a halt on the publication of such stuff as is encompassed in the L. F. Cole's articles, that have been running through your splendid newspaper for the past three or more weeks.
The earlier writers might have been excused for a cross-miss statement of facts. But for writers of today to display such ignorance and gain admission to the columns of a publication of the import of the AFRO-AMERICAN, is quite unbelievable.
There is not a fact in all of Mr. Cole's "specific and definite charges." Let's see, as for charge number.

Certainly the man knows nothing of Milton T. Dean, Major nor "Sergt." Dean. Upon the termination of the World War, officers were reduced almost wholesale. And West Point had not to do with any of them. This was not the War Department at Washington, D.C.

He has not been able to judge the rating of a newspaper correspondent, can be so loose in his copy. Surely he should know the subject of his interviews.

TOO MANY SMALL CHURCHES
To the Editor
On account of a large number of church buildings the church can not reach the mark that God has appointed. The church should be the best manifold building in any city because God's Gods house. So often where one church can carry the community, three or more are in operation. Before one congregation is large enough to do any mischief, the church should be opened and sets out to do it. Therefore, no real missionary work has been done. The progress of the church has been impeded. In Washington there are eight or more Baptist churches. At the same time fifty is a sufficient number. Whom are we to blame? The best answer is unprepared leadership in the churches, pulpit and the pew. So too many men who are forcing themselves on God and the church; working only for their bread and butter, and the saving of souls has been forgotten.

There is a lot of information of value to Negroes especially which, if given, would help to enlighten the public and crystallize sentiment among Negroes to get all of their rights or a larger quantity of them than they now have.

Coles of Philadelphia, the privilege of carrying on, I do not know who is deserving of the more credit you for publishing the articles or Mr. Coles for writing them.

I consider you to be one of the most persistent fearless and indefatigable champions of the Negro race, and equal to any other race.

AMALGAMATION WILL SOLVE THE RACE PROBLEM
Ten Thousand Mixed Marriages in U.S. Increase in Number of White Woman-Coerred Man Unions. Full Blooded Negroes Will be Rare After Year 2000 A.D.
GEORGE S. SCHUYLER
In the American Mercury
(Extracts)
Will the Negro solve his problem by amalgamating with the Nordic population? Because of his color he has been a success since he first entered God's Country, manacled by the Founding Fathers. Were there no social taboos in the path of miscegenation, he would have long ago vanished as completely as due to Negroes in Portugal, Spain, Italy and
Even in spite of rope, fogot, tar bucket, and social ostracism, he has lightened considerably since his nineteen宴会 among his GIs. Mélville Herskovitz, in "The American Negro," tells us that:
Instead of 80 or 89% of the American Negro, a little over 20% are unmixed, while almost 89% show mixture with white or American Indian. American Indian one-third have American Indian ancestry.
Attack Integrity
As a further evidence of lack of antipathy between the two races, it is interesting to note that the whites proceeded to attack the Negroes' racial integrity as soon as possible, E. B. Reuter, in "The American Race Problem."
And Dr. Iwan Bloch, in "The Sexual Life of Our Times," observes that:
White men from early times had a pauculine weakness for girls, and mulatto girls. . . Notwithstanding the deeply rooted racial hatred, even in America racial fetishism gives rise to numerous crimes. The American woman exercises a powerful attractive force upon the American man; and even the proud American woman misfits, with an insistence on a certain preference for the male Negro.
10,000 Mixed Marriages
There are 10,000 mixed marriages in the U.S. despite laws forbidding them in twenty-nine states. Today, at least three-quarters of the mixed marriages are of the white woman-black man class.
Times Change
Writers, educators, orators and even politicians seldom express nowadays the absurd views on the Negro they once laid out to the flattered white yokels. They have retreated from the position that the Negro is to the position that he is different.
Moreover, the melicent observation of the pecadillades of jim-crowism is becoming more onerous, senseless and expensive. With the great American public, the American public begins to seem nonsensical to rage against a Negro for sitting in the white section of a street car when all last year one rode back and forth to work with Negroes in New York, Detroit, Chicago or Los Angeles.
To almost everyone's satisfaction, the Negro has shown himself peaceable, patient, self-effacing, forgiving, for the many sins committed against him, and for the business and making the most of an admittedly bad situation.
No Jackass
Of course this isn't to say that the Negro accepts everything that is done to him in the spirit of the rabbit or the sheep. He resents, rants, he rages, but most of it is amused. He own's down the barricades and politically powerless, he has developed his own unique method of breaking down the barriers surrounding him, in the main, I think, he has been successful. There have been losses here and there, it is with the Negro that he is maintained off than he was in 1800, in 1910 or even in 1820.
Technique of Survival
The Negro realizes more than ever before that he has worked out a technique of survival and progress almost as unbelievable as the technique of the American philology. While other subject races die out to the tunes and stars of popular music here, he hale and hearty and manages to be fairly happy, though not as happy as some may believe him to be. He has learned to be a man of strength infiltration rather than the headlong mass attack. The more educated he becomes, the more developed his technique: the more weak the whites become, the more they weaken in the face of his advance.
Whites Softening
Breaches in the social barriers will become harder to repair with the softening of the Caucasian and the passing of the professional Anglo-Saxons, and will widen with the flow of Americanism. The Alamo can, shrewd, calculating, diplomatic, patient and a master of Nordic psychology, steadily saps the foundation of white supremacy. Time. he knows, is with him. A few Caucasian alarmists cry shrill, and ever and anally considerable forces to the defense.
Five-Yard Line
The Negro suffers a reverse, loses a position, but when the dust is set-fired, he is able to yard line. He has learned one thing well that the Caucasian is human before he is white, and he orders his attack accordingly.
Ten twenty or forty years hence he may not be in possession of comforter equality and all that follows in its path, but he'll be near the goal.
By 2000 A.D. a full-blooded American Negro may be rare enough to get a job in a museum, and a century from now our American leaders may be as tanned naturally as they are now striving to become artificially.
Africans Say:
"Africans have much in common with us as wit and wisdom expressed in their proverbs show. It is time for us to learn how to be a man that they are in an inferior and barbaric state. In more than one sense, we Americans are still villains, barbaric than they." J. BENDER

Chips from the Quarry
The Prooferreader Talks.
As stated last week the use of the apostrophe to indicate the contraction of words seems sufficient in the cases of the commoner contractions such as "can't" and "don't", because most typesetters will put in the omitted apostrophes, although writers frequently fail to do so. However, give trouble especially those involving the verb "is", in such cases as: "Is mine"; "She's my baby"; "Who's who"? The contraction "it's" for "it is" gives the most trouble; yet the difference in the meaning of "its" without the apostrophe, and of "its" with it, ought to be readily comprehended by a second grade child — and really the distinction is clear: — the trouble lies in the general use of "its" in grasped in us in our school days, by teachers often as careless — or as ignorant — as those they are attempting to teach. What is generally needed in the case of those words is not information so much as a sense of pride in ones
Another result of slipshod teaching is seen in the liability to stick in an apostrophe where it does not belong — in the possessive pronoun forms: "hers," "yourself," "enough, no one," "its," "puts in," "his," "like," "we," "puts," "we've," "badly," the apostrophe is liable to fall anywhere toward the end.
It is easy to see why the apostrophe seldom gets into the word, "won't," for that is a contraction of the word "woll an mollest." "not" Strictly, there should be two apostrophes; thus, "won't," since "II" is omitted as well as "o." But the best practice is to avoid the word altogether except in quoting dialect, and then follow the analogy of "don't." F. H. M. M.
Lie Like Hell

And even then they lie like hell.

Today.
Sure, this world is full of trouble—I ain't shee, it is.
I ain't shee had enough an' double Reason for complaint.
Rain an' storm have come to fret me, Skies were often gray;
Thorns and brambles have beset me On the road—but, say, Ain't in fine today!
What's the use of always weepin', Makin' trouble?
What's the use of always keepin' Thinkin' of the past?
Each must have his tribulation, Water with his wine.
Life ain't no celebration. Trouble? I've had mine— But today is fine.
It's today that I am livin', Not a month ago.
Havin' been ain't givin', As time will so it.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow Fell across the way;
It may rain again tomorrow, It may rain—but, say, Ain't in fine today!

Whole Family Jailed
Paul Vestal (white), who recently served a term in the Maryland penitentiary for the theft of a carpet sweeper from a local church was yesterday sentenced to six years in the Moundsville, (W.Va.) penitentiary on the road station near Berkeley Springs. Vestal was caught here some years ago after he robbed telephone slot machines in a local hotel. He served a short time in jail for that offense and was later convicted of stealing the carpet sweeper and sent to the prison. Vestal's wife (also white), was arrested in this city on charges of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor and served a term in jail. Later she was sent to the House of Correction when it was found that she was in writing with a colored man here. In jail she was accused of being implicated in a plot to break jail.

Maybe a man is a better fireman for District of Columbia schools than the firefighters in small children attending the B. W. Murch portables don't believe it. For three years a colored woman has kept the fires going in the portables, but no word of complaint has been heard. Yesterday a man was on the job as a substitute, and two classes — the first and second — they went outdoors to get warm, according to Mrs. Leslie B. Wright, (white) leader of the fight to have the colored woman transferred to the B. W. Murch School when it opens February.
The board of education last Wednesday refused the plea of the Murch School mothers to have a woman appointed as caretaker at the new school in place of usual janitorial staff. The usual janitorial a woman can, can, not fire furnaces.

WE BREAK NEW SEAS TODAY
John Oxenham
Each man is Captain of his Soul,
And each man his own Crew,
But the Pilot knows the Unknown
Seas,
And He will bring us through.
We break new seas today—
Our eager keks quest unaccustomed
waters,
And when the vast uncharted waste
in front.
The mystic circles leap
To grategrain shows with mightiest
possibilities.
And, maybe Death!—and, so, the Larger Life!
For, should the Pilot deem it best
To cut the voyage short,
He sees beyond the sky-line, and He'll bring us into Port!

Point
Marriage Bar
"Every Time a Iego Marries a White Person, a White Person Marries a Negro, with Open Mind and Prompting Heart."
Senator Copper's Federal Marriage Bill
Senator Capper, of Kansas, has just introduced in the Senate a bill for national regulation of marriage for civil ID. Broad grounds the mere statement the need for such a law carries condition of its necessity. The breaking down of the family fabric and the undermining of the moral fiber threatens early social decay. The mankind today is not the question of adjustment nor the production and distribution of wealth, momentous as these issues are, but the adjustment between the sexes on the basis of modern economic, industrial, intellectual and social demands.
The whole scientific, political, religious social world has been reconstructed in modern times; but we have made no progress in marital relations since the days of Isaac and Rebecca.
A regime which may have been perfectly adjusted to an agricultural miracle breaks down miserably in face of a fundamental civilization. That failure is manifested by the fact that one shirt of our marriages ultimate in divorce, which indicates at least twice as many more cases of tolerated infidelity. Perhaps the greatest minds in the world today are giving attention to this issue as to no other. From the time that the United States sud to have forty-eight different states, each grappling with the problem in its own jurisdiction. Effective marriage regulations in this country have been through Federal supervision and control.
It is the irony of the Negro's job that the formulas which apply to the general life fail to suit his particular case. The Negro is undoubtedly the most important in marriage and divorce laws, and stands most in need of national unification. And yet he must look with fear and trembling upon any and every law upon our Federal statute laws. The reason is painfully simple.
In the present temper of the American mind, any such legislation will in all human probability involve a nationalizing of antimiscegation provisions.
The same Senator Capper, who is our most harm, introduced a proposed eugenic law several years ago which had hidden between the lines the forbidance of marriage between white and black persons provision was called to his attention he explained that he had introduced the bill by request and was not aware that it contained the item complained of. Senator Blease of South Carolina complained of the Senate on the calendar of the Senate.
If any measure prohibiting racial intermarriage were ever to come to a vote in either house of Congress, it would be pressured by an overwhelming majority. Twenty-nine states already forbid racial intermarriages. Senators and representatives from these states all likelihood vote for harmony with the regulations of their own states.
Sentiment on this question is well nigh unanimous in the nineteen states which have not enacted the sentiment into law. The slightest provocation, such as a couple having an affair, has aroused several state legislatures to the attempt to enact such laws. These attempts have been usually frustrated, not on a direct issue, but by showing that such laws were not necessary.
On one occasion the House of Representatives passed such a measure without debate, and by an almost unanimous vote. We were able to pass a bill to restrict attack, but by the gunshot method. We were advised by our friends on the inside, that if the issue ever came to a vote no power on earth could stop its passage. The same sentiment prevails in Congress then, perhaps somewhat intensified.
Why the Negro is Deeply Concerned
Why should the Negro be so deeply concerned in the national marriage bar? There is neither eagerness nor amalgamation. Existing state laws and a drastic public opinion will serve to prevent any considerable number of cases. Social sensibilities are intensifying on both sides of the battle against the elite within the race or across the race line, is rapidly diminishing.
There always will be occasional individuals whose personal mutual attractions will defy public opinion and even the law; but these will not present without any social importance. But the Negro must protest with all of the power within him against setting up a caste system of which he is the victim, by national law. All castes in the world are based upon caste levels and the marriage bar.
The weaker sex of the weaker race is always made the victim of the juxtaposition of two races. This marriage bar would place colored women in a hopelessly helpless situation, and the reputation that he is over eager to marry into the white race. Every time a Negro marries a white person, a white person marries a Negro, with open mind and prompt heart.
A marriage bar setting up a caste system between American citizens would make democratic individuals more vulnerable. The Negro protest is waged in behalf of racial self-respect and of democracy.

City Manager Had Fought Project.
CLEVELAND. — Twelve Republican members of the city council united with two Democrats to oust City Manager William R. Hopkins, white, Monday night of last week.
Final date of his removal was set as January 22, but the manager will be given a hearing before that date. At the same time the council voted unanimously to open the City Hospital to colored nurses and interns on equal basis with white members

Democrat, gives "all citizens the right to receive training as internes and nurses at City Hospital in accord with the provisions of the Constitution of the United States and the State of Ohio," which has a civil rights law. Heretofore Blossom claims that hisason for failure to appoint colored nurses was that the Allied Nurse Association, New York City, would withdraw all nurses from active duty in the City Hospital thereby causing a shortage if colored nurses were
99. Year Contract
Western Reserve Medical School holds a ninety-nine year contract with the city, whereby it recommends all internes and nurses to the City Hospital. The actual selection of the internes is the duty of the official staff of the hospital. During the last two years agitation has been without abatement. Charles W. White, former president of the N.A.A.C.P., and former president of the Carbona George, appointed to provide advice to Hopkins to pass a measure in 1927 but no defiance was taken, however, until 1928 when a commission which included Dr. John H. McMorris was sent to investigate the hospital situation in New York City, Chicago and Kansas City. The committee reported in favor of a mixed hospital staff.
Gregg Wanted Jim-Crow
Last summer, Dr. E. J. Gregg, one of Cleveland's colored councilmen who failed to be re-elected, asked for an east side branch of the City Hospital which Councilman Clayborne George fought on the ground that it would eventually evolve itself into a Kroger hospital entirely. Dr. Gregg, one of the city elected councilmen, ran for council on the platform that the unanimously opposed to the establishment of an east side branch of the city hospital until colored inmates and nurses were admitted to the city hospital. When elected, the officers greeted him on his sponsorship of the proposed branch hospital. Councilman Parne and George were equally firm in their stand.

DRUNKEN SAILORS MEET 'A TARTAR
SAN DIBGO, Calif. — Henry Walton was on duty as a Red Cap in front of the station when two white railers came reeling down the platform drunk, but not too black and to observe that he was "come on, boy, dance," shouted one of the brave sea soldiers, thinking perhaps that he was in Haiti.
"No, I don't care to," quietly answered the Red Cap.
"Hey, you must think you're better n' me," shouted the bellerigar, evil-dog, advancing threatlessly.
"If I had you in Tennessee, my home. I'd make you dance!"
With that he swung a hofty arm, and he had often done in the ring and the blow whistled over his head. With a wicked cross-counter, he gripped his pal and then kept downing them as fast as they struggled to their feet. Walton won out regardless of the fact that he was a crank auto crank handle wielded by one of the bullies. Later, after the affair was reported, he was escorted aboard ship to identify culpits, who will be punished.
Walton is a boxer and recently defeated the navy champion.

Ware Not Located
Richard Ware, proprietor of the hotel had not been located on Tuesday.

Mr. Myers was born March 5, 1859, in Baltimore. His father was Isaac Myers, who at one time employed three hundred colored carpenters and built his barn in his yard, edified Baltimore. Wakey paper, was a U.S. gauger and special agent of the Post Office Department. George A. Myers came to Cleveland 50 years ago. For many years he was head of the barber shop in the old Westlake House. In 1888 the new Westlake shop opened and he opened a shinn on them.
Best in America
Of this shop Elbert Hubbard founder of Roycroft and publisher of the Phillistine, said, "The best barber shop in America." That declaration has been emblazoned in old English on the marble above one of the mirrors of the shop since Hubbard died.
Enamed Chairs with Telephones
In January, 1823, the Barbers Journal published an article by W.W. Snypp in which the praises of Mr. Myers and his shop were sung. In that article Mr. Myers is credited with the invention of barber chairs of enameled iron. His shop was the first to have them. "But the most unusual feature of the shop," said the article, "was the use of telephone services at each chair. While having his hair cut a patron to his home or transact business. A phone lamp and removed when not in use."
Mark Hanna
The friendship of Mr. Myers and the late Mark Hanna came early in his career in Cleveland. In 1892, Myers was a member of the Ohio delegation to the Republican national convention. Mr. McKinley was chairman of that convention. In the caucus of the Ohio delegation Myers cast the deciding vote which brought the McKinley-Hanna organization into being. In 1896 at the St. Louis convention, Mr. Myers became a prominent worker for the nomination of McKinley. Myers introduced "Uncle Mark" as the nickname for Hanna. When McKinley became President, Myers declined political appointment, but recommended Major W. T. Anderson for 10th Cavaliers chaplain, Lynch for army master, K. B. Brush for naval officer, and Charles Cottrell for Hawaiian collector of internal revenue.
My. Myers was always very active in the civic affairs in Cleveland. He was a member of the City Club, the Early Settlers' Association, the Association for Criminal Justice, the National Association of Colored People and the Elks. He was an enthusiastic member of St. James A.M.E. Church.
Finest Library
The third floor of the Myers home has a notable library including books by all of the Negro authors. Mr. Myers was said to have possessed one of the finest libraries on the Negro race in the United States. Mr. Myers was married on April 7, 1866, to Miss Maude Stewart who survived him. He leaves behind a daughter, a son of a university of music in the public schools, and one son, Herbert D. Myers, a teacher of general science at Cleveland Polytechnic Institute.

BOSTON, Mass.—Tight Uncle Sam has arrested for perjury Lindsay M. Booker, an alleged one-time post office burglar who reformed, took a civil service examination, was appointed as a post office laborer and has been going straight for some time. Booker, who is a bachelor, lives at 5 Woodhole Street, Roxbury. He was arrested on a charge of making a false statement when he applied for the position he desired. He is under suspension at the post office and is held in $1,000 bail awaiting the action of the federal grand jury. Fifteen years ago, Booker was arrested for breaking into a post office in Cape Cod and sentenced to five years in correction in Plymouth for three years.
In 1928, he made application for civil service job, declaring he had never been arrested or in court for any offense. The mark he made in his examination entitled him to a job as a post office laborer, an appointment which he received. He was assigned to the Boston postal district. His record on the job was a year and a half, the next year and he would never have been molested except for the fact that an examiner of the civil service commission discovered the discrepancy between his sworn statement and the facts.

Burdens Shared
For one year and a half there were no overhead expenses, all the directors giving their services free. No record but a cash book was kept on the company's transactions until 1920. However, an audit at that time showed that the company was accounted by the company and was accounted for to the penny.

Jury Values Lost Arm at $7,500.
Richard Smith, who lives in Elmwood, Southwest Philadelphia, recovered a $7,500 verdict in his suit for damages against the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, January 17.
Mr. Smith met with a very serious accident on the 28th of November, 1928, when he was crossing a street at 83rd and 12th้า, which is near his home. A trolley car, coming at a terrific rate of speed, struck him a severe blow, knocking him 35 feet, causing him to suffer cranial concussion, severe fracture of the ribs and a dis-located back and arm, which resulted in the loss of the use of his left arm. His attorney, Raymond Pace Alexander, brought suit, the trial lasted two days.
An interesting feature of the case was the bottle between the physicians testifying for the effect of the company and two able colored physicians called in behalf of Mr. Smith. The dispute in the case arose over the question, whether or not Mr. Smith had really lost the use of his left arm, or whether he would not have to raise his right to other causes. Dr. Aldrich Burton, a member of the staff of Mercy Hospital, was called as the family physician, and gave convincing testimony in his behalf.
He was followed by Dr. Frank Boston, a well known surgeon, connected with many large hospitals, and chief surgeon at Mercy Hospital, who gave expert testimony on condition that Mr. Smith was suffering from which was pronounced to be irhumatic.
One of the strongest features of Smith's case was that prior to the death of the company, it was years at the Pennsylvania Cold Bore Warhorses Company. The secretary and treasurer of this company came to court and was found of 24 years of serious service on behalf of this company, without the loss of one day from prior to the accident.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Announcement that Bishop B. G. Shaw, of the A.M.E. Zion Church, is under fire as a result of charges of varny and the Rev. D. E. Thompson of Birmingham, Ala., caused a surprise in this city. The East Tennessee News, looking up the record of the Rev. D. E. Thompson, declared that he was at one pastor of Knoxville Clinton Chapel A.M.E. Zion Church, until arrested by three deputy sheriffs along with his private secretary in a house in the Summit Hill section. At the trial, police did not appear to prosecute, but the proprietor of the house submitted to the fine for running a disorderly house. The Knoxville community is so outraged by the occurrence that the Rev. Mr. Thompson was attacked by a mob, a rope tied around his body and a fireblower through the door to a spot where the crowd planned to administer a coat of tar and feathers.
When he still insisted on entering his pulpit, he was threatened by members of Clinton Chapel Church and it was necessary for police to be called in to prevent disorder. Eyed by the company who forced to seat Knoxville, go from this place to Kentucky and thence to Montgomery, Ala.
P.R.T. Must Pay Injured
Woman $2,500
Mr. Frances Jackson, of N. 50th Street a widow, was awarded a verdict of $2,500 when she was a passenger on a trolley car in September, 1937. Her suit was tried in Common Pleas Court, No. 1, on Weightman's behalf in 1938. She was accused of placing Alexander and John Francis, Willimans were the attorneys for Mrs. Jackson. Mr. Jackson was a passenger on a No. 13 trolley bus in Orard Avenue, the tenth member of the bus. To be brought to alight at 45th Street, she was suddenly thrown to the floor by reason of the motorman. In falling, her body struck the iron railing at the exit doors, causing severe and painful injuries. The attorneys centered their attack on the medical testimony offered on behalf of Mrs. Jackson, by Dr. Charles H. Chandler, whom she credited with the capability of dosing drugs, who was a passenger on the trolley.

STAGE STARS TO SHINE IN Y.M.C.A. BENEFIT
Eubie Blake, Former Ballimore, with Broadway Jones, at Regent Sunday.
ENGAGE SHERRY'S BAND
Local Singers, Night Club Stars, on Bill.
With Ebile Blake, pianist; Broad-Jones, Sherry's Band and a galaxy of night club stars, the Y.M.C.A. benefit performance to be presented at the Regent Theatre, Sunday, midnight, promises to be the outstanding offering to Baltimore theatre-goers this season.
Ebile Blake, versatile pianist, singer, composer and comedian is a former Baltimoreian, who began his career in public dance halls of this city's east side. Following a partnership formed with Noble, Siskis he journeyed to New York where he and his partner became the favorite music of the late James Reese Europe. Together with Mr. Siskis, he produced the popular melodies for the Broadway productions, "Shuffle Along" and "Chocolate Dandies." A trip to Europe extended his Jame on that side of the big picture, and he brought a series high class vaudeville engagements for Mr. Blake and his present partner, Broad-Jones.
In the support of this popular team will be Sherry's Nite Club Band, second only to the first attraction. This band is under the direction of Josh Sadler of Philadelphia. Mr. Sadler is a concert violinist of distinction and has appeared locally in the support of Marian Anderson in New York dramatic reader: G. Bernard Youngen; Miss Naomi Monsell, contralor; Miss Christine Daniels, eccentric dancer of the Landon night club and the entire floor show from the Ballet night club and the evening of the best entertainment. Howard M Gross will be master of ceremonies.
The benefit show is for the purpose of aiding in the campaign the Druid Hill branch of the Y.M.C.A. is now conducting to raise funds to complete the reconditioning and refurbnishing of the "Y" building.

Hold Garvey Play
The American Playwright Guild that sponsored the "War Within," an unsuccessful drama dealing with ministerial life's problems, produced Jeremiah the Magnificent out on Broadway. This is the play dealing with the great efforts of Marcus Garvey in Harlem. The leaders of the Guild decided to play the lead in this show, and in the event they failed in doing this. Richard E. Huey, one of the younger stars, now with "Porgy" was next in line for consideration.
Gray Back to Hollywood
The sudden disappearance of Harry Gray. featured in King Vidor's "Halleluja." has been explained that Daddy Danny was the product in Hollywood where he is in great demand for parts in films demanding an aged colored man.

to Present Race Artist
LONDON — The opinion that Paul Robeson, famous artist, athlete and scholar, will play "Othello" in the London presentation, was confirmed when Maurice Browne made a formal announcement to that effect, that the famous producer had long tried to tempt the former Rutgers football star, singer and actor into taking the part has long been public knowledge, as was the fact that Robeson was not entirely aware to accuse him of the role. Mr. Robeson is credited with saying "One role I have always wanted to play is Othello.

"ACE OF SCOTLAND YARD"—No. 1—First Talking Serial
Movietone Act Talking Comedy
By EDWARD H. LAWSON, Jr.
Four years ago a man was murdered—shot down in cold blood on one of the narrow streets of Harlem. Today his murderer still roams unmolested and unknown, with only the punishment of his own conscience to pay for the life of the man he killed.
Four years ago, Officer John J. Mechan, in making his nightly round of the barber, was struck by the face of that man, a gruesome sight, sprawled across the sidewalk in a pool of blood. Two gunshot wounds in his back indicated how he had come to grief. An old friend found in the gutter. That was all.
Officer Mechan recognized the fellow almost instantly. He was a big, husky chap black as he was, with a chubby hair, fat nose, and a chubby, laughing face. No one could mistake him. It was none other than Battling Kii, once holder of several boxing championships, a great French ace, Georges Carpentier.
They removed him to the hospital, but he was dead and nothing could be done. An investigation was started. Who had fired the shots? Nobody knew. Who had heard them? No one. Who had seen the crime committed over the body before the policeman? Not a soul. Evidently Harlem was not awakened by shots at four in the morning.
The detectives chose another starting point. Where had Siki been that night? Somehow it leaked out that night. They questioned the cateraer. They questioned the proprietor. Was he drunk, Yep, he was pretty well stewed. Did he argue with anyone, or start a fuss in the cateraer. He had a cattened brawl with another man. Both had been ousted from the cateraer. Who were the other men in the brawl? Harlem shut up like a cham, but the other man broke the silence. No one knew. They questioned the widow. She knew nothing. She offered a single clue, however. Siki had often quarrelled with a neighbor about her brawl, but Siki refused to pay. Perhaps—. But that neighbor proved an ironclad alibi. Falling on all sides, the detectives looked up the fighters past history and found that they might perpetrate, such a crime.
Ski, they found, was a boxer, of Senegalese birth. His fighting career had begun in Paris and after a long Georges Carpenter, at that time world's light-heavyweight champion. His knockout of the popular war ace in the sixth round of their great battle brought him into international fame. His early life in Paris had been that of a rather poor gamin of the streets, and the years that followed failed to change his nature. He was a man of simplicity to display his strength and power, and when he was caught, paid his fine smilingly and went straight to another fight. He was also to pugilish fame was as much a surprise to himself as to the entire world. The sudden wealth, the glory and the glamor of it all, went immediately to his head. He was a picturesque figure and his opponents until the last round, and then the剧atically knock them out. He boasted that he trained on high life, and wine, and women, and song, and one no doubted his ass-
He was in the midst of receiving fabulous offers for projected fights both here and abroad, when he was suddenly suspended for a fringe fight that wasn't on the program. Siki grew furious when the suspension was not lifted at once, and decided to cause a fury by buying secrets. First, he charged that the fight with Carpenter had been "framed," and that certain gamblers had paid secretly and heavily in order that they could collect. He managed this manager. Deschamps vigorously denied the charges

and a subsequent investigation failed to substantiate them, in spite of the fact that the referee voiced his belief that the fight was "not on the level."
The commission then took steps to deprive him of the titles which he had won from Carpenter. He was now in distaster both in England and America, and the bounty he received was to appear, were barred. Still fighting his way through, he came to America, where he planned a barnstorming tour of the theatres. There were three other theatres in the city, and the others were white. The first week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre in New York went over fairly well, and he had been booked to play the Howard Theatre for the week after the next with a week for a Christmas holiday.

It was Monday night, just a few days before Christmas. He went out, telling his wife, the former Lillian Werner, whom he met in his spite of that he had a com- law wife in Netherlands, that he was going to "patalk with some of the boys for a while." Mrs. Siki went to a movie, and returned home, about eleven o'clock. She recalled the fight for the fighter to reach home in the early hours of the morning. About midnight, Patrolman Mehan greeted Siki, whom he recognized from his newspaper pictures. He saw the pugilist enter a restraunt. Four hours later, Mehan made his early morning round of that section. It was dark and still, except for the whistle of the wind through the canyon of tall tenements. Then he was the policeman stained with something—something soft, and vileting. It was Siki!
For weeks the detectives tried to piece together the story, but Harten has a way of going more creatively, having seen the glove singer after Mehan had passed him at midnight. No one had heard the two shots. No one had stumbled over the fence, limited the amount of violence. The gun found in the gutter, yielded no fingerprints. The detectives were stumped, and still are. Skii's murderer has never been convicted. Perhaps so day the story will continue, will be interesting the way in which the guilty party eluded the entire New York police force for so long. But until that day, the murder of the Ninth Ward in the category of "unresolved murder mysteries."

But are goers are demanding some must be artists indeed. They must matter what is the color of personality that catches the fancy firmance that is a grade above its series' service we own in the theatrical field.
Maurice Dancer, stage director of "Sepia Vagabonds," producer of "Deep Harlem," and numerous other shows, in accounting for the failure of a number of productions during the past year, says that while there were many contributing causes which left the group without one presentation on Broadway at the end of the season, the principal cause was the quality of the shows put out. Dark skins have ceased to be a notion on Broadway, he says, brown skins have the great white way. Any show that carried a colored dancer or a few sepia wonders was sure of a following.
The race brought a stimulation to jaded stageand with its joyous abandon in dancing and joyous crooning melodies. But that fad has played out and insatiable theatre are demanding something more. Race artists now must be artists indeed. They must put up a show that is a first class hit, no matter the audience. They must bring in a performance that catches the fancy of any audience, they must put over a performance that is a grade above the ordinary. In other words, "Being ourselves" served for a while, but we've got to "be ourselves," now to hold our own in the theatrical field.

They are not as good as the white men we can name. Yet Negroes sing the white men's praises and denounce the blacks—why? Our boys are original and give a natural interpretation to the Negro dialect. But it doesn't seem to get a notice from our very-hard-to-please Negroes."

Commandments could be supplemented nothing else than helping a poacher in careers if they choose, but untrained mother, is going to be rigid and her daughters do not as you suspect. They have always right mention that Mrs. Mason amplified musician, and who has rendered artists, among whom are a lady has recently returned to degree in music.
Indirectly this is a tale of two little chorines. Directly it is about the chorines' mother and, to be strictly personal, the lady referred to is Mrs. Emma Mason. You now saw "Sepia Vagabonde" and you did if you were lucky), you noticed that in one of the opening numbers a little cuttie of humanity came out in a number called "Sepia Baby" all cuddled up to a tall hand-some lad. And the way that kid did step and everything. Johnnies out front began figuring how long it would take them to get to the stage door after the number was over, and how they could outwit the company were sure to have. But they found out that did not matter, that what Mrs. Mason to have a chance to tip a hat to Miss Kay. "Emma" is an old fashioned name. So are Mrs. Mason's ideas as to how girls, even those on the stage, are to be reared. Mrs. Mason's two daughters, Marion and Kay, who sing in the Great Dame's choir of the best choreographers. When Marion and Marion are in the stage, mother Mason is mother Mason. When Kay and Marion are on the stage, mother Mason is just back of the curtain seeing that nothing goes on on the stage that is not strictly professional. "My dear!" said Mrs. Mason, "what I've seen on the stage!" And when she says this, all of your words are on the stage. "What some of these infirmated that the commandments could be supplemented to advantage by a hairbrush used for something else than helping a perfect coiffure stuy put.
"Of course present day girls are going to select their professions." My girls may have stage careers if they choose, but until they are fully able to use the proper discretion, mother is going to be right on the job, "is this mano. And no Mrs. Mason and her daughters do not hail from a nice quiet little Southern town as you suspect. They have always lived in New York, Harlem at that! Incidentally I might mention that Mrs. Mason has another daughter, Lydia, who is an accomplished musician, and who has served as accompanist for this celebrity group whom are Mr. Evani and Mme. Talbert. This young lady has recently returned to Fisk University where she is studying for her degree in music.

What I am trying to determine just now is whether it pays to get all excited over whether the Mason and Dixon line really has any significance or whether this thing of prejudice is a national matter. Take this for instance: last week Halleluja has definitely turned down the offer to KKK to house loops for fear, or that at least is my opinion, of affording its patronage. In as much as the all-colored film was booked for the Regal, which is on the south side and has a race following. I might be in sayin' that that. On the other hand "Halleluja" was booked last week with a great celebration of back as any one spot in the country. Not only that, but the film was secured with the special pull of Jean Henderson, film critics of the Florida Times-Union, who conducted in her column a special forum to secure its show.

WHITE CIRCUIT WON'T TAKE NEW RACE ACTS
Radio - Keith - Orpheum
Bookers Ordered to Refuse
Dates to Newcomers.
PURELY JIM CROW
Mixing of Races on Stage Seen as Cause.
Following a statement issued several weeks ago through Variety, a trade paper, that unless colored acts discontinued making trouble in the way of walk-outs, their billing would be dropped, the Radio-Keith-Orphee circuit has been the hanning of the Negro turns through Billboard, another theatrical publication.
While the cause is given as being "proportionately overloaded with colored acts," it is generally understood that objections to mixing colors on the circuit is the real issue. The announcement, Billboard says.
"Because they have found themselves proportionately overloaded with colored acts, unauthorized word has been used to book agents and others doing business with the office that for the time being no more acts in this genre will be confirmed how long the ban against new colored acts will be in force, but every indication points to its retention for at least the remainder of this paluka or season. The police reached, but Ben Plazza and George Godfrey made it plain that the colored-act ban, which is more of a vague policy than a definiteukase, will not affect players at time when accepted into the category of pick-up acts.
"Although it was felt to be reasonably certain that RKO would come out in the open, it is hard to believe that it must have been mixing colors in acts, as brought out in a recent Billboard story, the attitude of the office in this respect has been altered so as to deal with the diplomatic manner. Instead of nutting itself on record officially as being opposed to mixing colors — and thereby drawing the unwelcome support of anti-racial extremists — the major circuit is lured by the matter along common-sense lines. "Each booker is permitted to use his own discretion in doing business with mixed acts in the business world," the circuit said in an undisclosed coldness to acts mixing the white and Negro races in ensembles. Acts carrying large companies of whites and blacks cannot be affected, since this practice has been in vogue for many seasons, and has not yet drawn the fire of carving critics and their ilk.
"The three booking heads are known to be opposed to mixing colors on general principle, and this factor above all will the determining one in shaping the course of these attractions on or off the circuit. Since they feel this way, it becomes a certainty that official bans or the lack of them will affect the circuit bookings in the palms of their hands, and it is entirely up to them as to what acts they accept or reject."
Among mixed acts later booked and now included in the RKO,bills
a Ledova, Iq. Maw Chadwick and
her Dixie Daisies. Guy and Pearl
Magley, Raynor Lehr, and Dillon and
Parker.
To Keep Old Aces
As to cutting out colored acts entirely, the publication states. "It was unfortunately broadcast that RKO intends to cut out colored acts entirely. This has no basis in the fact that such a multimedia supported by probabilities. The circuit has had several unpleasant experiences this season with colored 'frames', and is thinking seriously of severing contractual relations with colorful actors, such as musical, and does not reflect disrespect on other colored turns. Since colored acts, though in greater numbers, than ever before, are still decided in the minority, any trouble arising from booking, the acting stand out, and gives the false impression that they are all troublesome.
Not Troublesome
"The fact to be the RKO is considered is that whites give the RKO office (and other offices) the colored folk have caused in years. And this, too, is accounted for, conversely, by the natural preponderance of whites on the circuit's booking."
Colored acts now playing for RKO include: Babb. Babb. and Buster; Buck and Bubbles; Ada Brown; Robinson; Wilton Crowley; Doun; Colon Devere; Dixie Four; Peg Bates; Grace Smith and Buddies; Jules Bledsoe; Glenn and Jenkins; Danny Perrin; Moss and Prye; Ethel Waters; George McLennon; Four Pepper Shakers; Norman Thomas Quinet; Danny Smith; Dave Richardson; Jazz Richardson Kentucky Jubilee Singers and Sunshine Sammy.

T.O.B.A. DOIN'S
Irvin C. Miller's edition of "Brownish Models," under the management of Blanche Thompson, has proven its popularity on the T.O.B.A. wheel, which is attested by the fact that it played the Globe Theatre, Cleveland, Ohio, and while playing the date, the management of the house, due to demands on the part of his patrons for a holdover of the show, consisted of a book with the office at Sam E. Reevin, to set the show in for another week.
Due to the fact that the show had been booked ahead, this request could not be granted. Mr. Miller engaged with a return engagement as soon as the following engagement had terminated. The "Models" are playing the second week on the return the present week. They are lined up in Indianapolis, Chicago and then posed four of the southern end of the circuit.

drugstore manager is now a member of Charleston's intelligentsia where she meets Frank North, the new Nato palate and violinist. He is very talented and worthwhile, and is intriguing. He is considerably disgusted with her lofty associates. One day she tells Mama that she might be the proud of her Negra heritage, all her friends and their "dammest" to be white.
and Garda Blinmore, a *Habitat Health* and the true Happer type, seeks Lissas' compatibility. But Lissas, because of her refined nature, is rather afraid of Gardina's overbearing.

Prince Fritz introduces the young couple as about to go upon another of their frequent Manisha. The auto ride ends at a dance, where the whole crowd lulls a victim to joy and laugh, Gardinia, a member of the crowd, recovers from her intoxicated and only after she has discovered that Prince and Lissia have disappeared from the

With everyone there is some picture etched into the child mind in the note of some early and penetrative emotion. It stands there always, a reminder of the power of memory, obscuring lesser impressions. Up now from under the united years this picture flashed into its consciousness—a great bruise on the palm of her hand inside it—a strange salty note upon her chair lips where her mother had pressed a farewell kiss her girl sat waiting. Her tranee grazed found the window and had been pressed against the utility of sky. Then another began to brighten, assume colour. form—gigantic black woman kneeling in the dirt of the public room, her hands held while her body angled a tang of sweat and phosphate dust with the perfume of roadside house-zoo. This memory held a poison she could not at once identity. The memory held a passion that fastened it; herself that had traced her away from the great creature who might soil her dress to the cleanness of Mamba's hair. A gap between the stunning woman that needed a assault—fire it. her blood that had driven her in a half-desperate search for the maintainable to the Broadens mahoused dances—the last dance of Hagst. the dominant figure that insane lot looming like destiny over the body of Bluton, taking her in her arms and giving her to one arm with a sense of refuge of sudden illumination. Go! she was strange now that she could not remember a word that her mother had ever said. She power-her as vast, impartial possessing her all the more now because of her silence.
She saw nor with agonising clarity all that Hagard had given, and now that she had gone there would never be anything that she could offer in her hands. She felt at impulse to wound herself, way, believing vaguely that pain that she experienced, her indifference. She comforted hands it: a muscular spasm paced and imagined a slackening of the grip upon her heart. Now she was fiercely sure that she was alone. For the first time she was to be free of Mamba and her indomitability. will be. The old woman would she to go ahead and forget what had happened. Now her only comfort from sending her Cough back to her impressions of her mother, and in it she search for some way in which she can search herself for her selfish neglect.
Beyond the window the shortening September day dwindled into twilight and the street the cooling pavements call to street dark. Children from the serviced house came down, down, down as blackbirds, and flung her gag chattering sound up to Lissas's nose from the two adjacent Elevated line, the four arrows answering roar as the street mechanical punctuality over the narrow streets. To Lissas they seemed to tick-tock of an intimate clock divide into minute segments and hurling it into the limb of the past. On the Avenue the windows of an apartment house the red of the suit, stained black and winked to life again, restless in the dust. But these things that Lissas had loved as symbols of her new life had their last magic. She sat staring at the Low Country. Once she rose from the pair, got from a bureau drawer her book that Hagar had given it at the fyleaf with its insignia, and again with the volume in her hands.
it was not until after breakfast that following morning that Lissa left the room, her clothes that she had her own were removed from her music lesson the preceding morning, and she went directly to the study of Thomas Grayson, opened the door without knocking, and entered.
He sat at a large square desk in the middle of the room looking over the notes for the sermon that he would be following the morning service. The massive severity of the sermon made a fitnitz bass for the bust and head of the man who sat there.
Lissa closed, the door behind her,
and stood with her back against it as though taking refuge from some pursuer. Grayson looked up and saw that he the live bronze had gone austressure. He the live bronze had gone austressure. He the live bronze had darkened to violet, under the eyes. From swollen lids the eyes looked with a hard brilliance. The hint of tragedy that had been latent in her expression was suddenly an air of defiance, with the face draw, and haggard. Her eyes missevelled, her dress looked as though it had been slept in. There was a shocking incongruity in the pair of frivolous red pumps on her feet. Her response was characteristic. He said in a deliberately matter-of-face voice: "Don't be afraid, Lissa. Come here and tell me your trouble."
Without rising, he motioned to a ladle and handed it across the polished manoghy with a spoon of meticulously arranged papers. The girl hesitated. He seemed unsympathetic—more rock-like than ever in this unyielding power. Then she saw a woman with a long neck and extended a hand across the desk. "Sit down, Daughter, and tell me," the urged. "Ada and I have been told that your letter brought bad news." She sank into the chair, then she placed the letter, clippings, and prayer book before him. "Read that letter, then you will be told," she begged. "They're in Mt."
She watched him take the papers in his heavy, well-kett, hairless hands, and read them through with his habitat throughness and with his feeling of being feeling ward him changed. Out of his massive silence strong emanations of sympathy flowed toward her. She felt his power now, not as opposition, but as a sustaining force. She was glad that she was not alone in her defense. He finished the last clipping, then fceded them all carefully and returned them. When he spoke his voice seemed stilted, inadequate in contrast with his unspoken sympathy. Your mother was a truly great woman, and everything will forgive her. She has given her life for you. You should be proud of your parentage-"your race." She did not comment upon this tribute. Her reply struck out at a tangent, as though she had waited for her mother to come and had long been on her mind. She leaned forward, swaying slightly in her chair. Her speaking voice had caught the tragic timbre of her low singing notes. Her short sentences were spoken in unconscious rhythm, and she stood up to it stand like that. See what she says—that he was her lover. She despised him—it took me to put up with his kind. I've got to go home and tell them the truth-"I've got to face the Zrodena and to claim her now before everybody. It's a. can do.
Grayson sat heavy, solid, his arms resting on the desk before him, his eyes on her face. Without speaking he made Lissel feel his attitude as it chanched from the sympathetic to the cool. "I emotionally upset to-day, Lissel" he said at last. "You're no condition to arrive at such an important decision. You must wait a day or two." Her form stiffened. She eyed Grayson on you and immediately the defensive. "I thought I could count on you." she said. "I thought you'd see it as my Christian duty and help me, or I wouldn't have told you. But you can't sto. me now—

nobody can—not even Grandma. I always did what other people thought. Now I am going to think for myself, and I know I’m right. I’m going. I really realised that he had replied, then lissed realised that he had been listening to what she had said. He had not moved, but sat gazing past her, his eyes intent behind their glasses, his brow deeply hurried. In one of her violent revolutions she sprang to her feet: “A hell of a lot you care for other people’s troubles” she flung at him; then she turned to go. Wait! She was arrested by the impact of the single word and faced him with her beautiful expressive body mixed in an attitude of fear like that of an animal at bay. “Now sit down and keep quiet,” he commanded. He present longer her defence lasted, then, suddenly she bent her head and commenced to cry softly into the crook of her arm in the manner characteristic of Hagar when faced by overwhelming difficulties, covertly she resumed her seat.
When . rayson broke his portentous silence his voice was compassionate but firm. He said: "I've thought it all out now, D. dighter. Look at it this way," he picked up the clippings and the hair. He one which contained Hagar's one which contained tear-stained face, and he held the words, "That," that he said, "is your mother's last will and testament. In it she has left you something that she has conceived: to be of inestimable value. It was all that she had to give. You cannot repudiate it. You must give her silence in return."
"But it's a lie. I can't go on always living a lie. What am I to do?"
"You must carry on. Make your life worth the price that has been paid for it. There's no turning back now without breaking faith with your mother. There's nowhere for you to go but go ahead; no way to praise her mother. "I won't go on," she rebelled. "I hate music. If it hadn't been for that Ma'd be alive to-day. I didn't know until that night how much I was missing her. I was always lonely, and I never knew what to give me time to think. Now I never gone, an' I sick of everything. I'm the loneliest girl in the world."
"I know," said Gajson gently, "you think now that it is this great los that makes you so. I don't. Like Ishmael, you were born for loneliness, but you were also born for success. I had a talk with Salmik yesterday. He's extravagant in his praises of your voice. He has never taken a Negro before, and it took all of the influence that I could bring to bear to interest him in giving you a trial. It's a great chance for me to more confidently take advantage of Negro race.

He picked up the little prayer book that he had given Hagar, opened it at the flyleaf, and let his gaze rest upon the inscription, "Strange," he said, "that this man now I gave it to your mother.

Lissa's tears, had ceased. She said with her eyes fixed upon the desk before her. The room bore inward upon her, exerting an invisible force that made her less in the chair. Even Mamba had never been so inplacable as this will that had assumed magistracy over her destinies. She knew that the moment when she see her complete and ultimate surrender. And yet through steer weakness she longed to turn to that power for support. She knew that Gravson had sided with her, and behind her then softly the door closed, leaving her alone.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 25, 1930
complicated symphony of human existence — the snilr estasy of a child—deep, careless Negro laughter, a mental song in a neighboring apartment—slow, rumbling talk in two women's voices on the pavement—harriem obstinately opposing its lazy rhythms to the neading theme of a song of joy and sync; tum of laughter and song against the measured reiteration on the Elevated, the sustained monotone of nurturing traffic on the avenue; our own people about anywhere, not far away. Singing to run—just humming loose-crying when they wanted to-live up to the limit and never thinking about it, couldn't they let her be like that? Why couldn't they let her alone?
Saint Julier de Chatigny Wentworth, up from Charleston with his wife and his mother for a lortight of music and the theatre, settled the ladies of his party in the third orchestra, the Opera House, and, appropriating the cantat seat between them, abandoned himself to the mood of the unique performance. Individual as he appeared in the heterogeneous audience, he yet had upon him the mark of a pop star, who seemed to own formal garment than it did when worn by the men who were seated near him, and his tie, too wide to the prealing mode, had about it the quaint suggestion of a stock. Already, while only in the middle thirties, his figure was commonplace, and he possessed lines of one who appreciates the pleasant things of life at their full value and who has learned to meet the unpleasant ones with an amiable acquiescence. Yet the face, with its high forehead and thoughtful stance, has passed through some spiritual conflict. The strong line of the chin indicated sufficient courage for an individual course of action, but the sensitive smooth mouth suggested that when this course was completed of his class its pursuit would be at a cost that would amount to a minor heroism.
It was now seven years since his marriage. Sever years since he had responded to Mamba's summons and had placed Lissa in the care of Thomas Grayson. That this should occur to him, no, that was natural enough, was the occasion of a ready commencement, was the occasion of Lissa Atkinson's debut. Presently, with that faculty or submergence of self in the contemplation of a work of art, which is in itself an art, he became a disembodied presence, moving in a realm of illusion upon the darkened stage, and in the realm of projection, beyond that again into a pine barr of the coastal South.
Beyond the bines glimmered a faint red dawn that cast a vague radiance over the bent or recumbent figures of the bines. The figures came a chant, hymnic in its terminable reiteration of a single strongly syncopated phrase. A limpid mezo-sorran drew upward from the monotonous level of the chant, the figure's voice—Lisa's —Hagar's —Mamba's. The song lifted and hovered above the shadowed figures in a repressed aony of yearning and supplication. The figure's height at which delight and pain are fused into one and become purc: ectasy. Then the curtain descended in a swift, obliterating rush and stilled the voice. But, in the wide silence of the room, obliterating kept bearing on live a nulse.
High in the dome constellations of incandescent commenced to low faintly. A shir went over the audience. Saint felt sudden alarm alone in the actuality of the music? Why drag him back into the make-believe of people, walls, lights? The glow brightened and flooded the auditorium, calling in faculties, and he became aware of the well-dressed audience that seemed to be pressing in upon him. For a moment longer they hung breathless, then shattered the silence spontaneous thunder of applause.
From the people near Wentworth stray ejaculations and comments leaped clear of the clamour and imprinted upon his consciousness. Good enough, but queried. "What's it anyway, a play—an opera—a pagant?" And the r joiner. "For Heaven's sake, don't label it. That's the trouble with us. What we can't label we damn. Can't you see that it's something of our own—American—something that Stallings and Harley got a gimpse of in 'Deep River—that the Theatre Guild caught the picture sid: o. In Porgy that Gerhwt: how artful is 'Rhapsody in Blue?' It epoch-making. I tell you.' Behind Wentworth a man said in a tone of finality: "Well, we've done it. It's native from the dirt up! its art—and its ours. Ours." Do you mean Negro? "Negro, if you will, yes, but first American."
The auditorium was aglare now and the fused single entity of the audience had melted back to its component pieces. Blurred light swelled suddenly and drowned individual voices. Went worth let himself go back into chair. The experience had left him hopeful. His mother, who never talk. Sometimes they didn't seem to understand that there were moments when silence can be richer than speech. His emotion had broken his thoughts. No one had their habitats. No one had let them drift. With relief he saw that his companions remained silent, evidently lost their own thoughts: Valerie with a bright, forward look in her eyes, in front of herself. "What music?" he thought. "Primitive—Sophisticated—Neither—both. Savage tender, reckless. Something saved, whole from a race's beginnings and from a century magic—a blues gone grand. Make. Not a bad idea that. Make a note of it and use it when I start to write. No. it's too late. Mother—Valerie—the boy. By God Mother—Valerie—the painting—music—literature—it's up to him. Three generations to make a gentleman. Rot. Five. Ten. war. Two more generations to make the pieces—to carry on in the life that never can expect everything. Liesal. What a voice—power-beauty—everything, and that
heart-breaking pure Nego quality—Hagar-Mamba. Rotten time of it, like a not, for all the laughter and singing—climbing up out of the mud—making a gallant fight of it. That kind of kindness with different sorts of trouble. That bank. Broaden. for instance—good citizen—hoeing a hard row and not bellyaching about it—precious little recognition. What woud he think it 1 addressed him as Mister? And what would he my white friends tell me? They their aeds. Black menace. Absurd, looking from this distance. Good-morning Mister Broaden, saying it like that, meaning it. Why not?
Little enoch, God knows
And Kate Wentworth, sitting close to her son, where she could feel the warmness of the mother. Her mood, out of considering her mood, was sensing its existence, feeling him asking to be set alone. What in the world is over coming to " she is thinking. This minna to be different from the book, and the purpose. Or Verdi—now we gave us music. Or if one wants to be modern, there is Puccini. But this—outlandish, it calls it it, Liesel on the South—nothing less that, oiain libel. Who, in my mind, is the function of famous for the aristocracy elected : go and hunt. JP Negroes to be sung about?. Mamba's Lissa! Hagar's Stiu more incredible. The girl's air of distinction—style—they must have come from somewhere. I wonder why he'd be, he's not don't say it—don't think it, Shama's upon you, Kate Wentworth. You are forgetting yourself. To a lady, the word of multatoes do not exist. But it is not to be: Negro music why not at least, the beautiful spirit—not only the heart of the world, the looking child she was a remarkable speaking eyes and that air of being at ease in the drawing room when Mamba brought her in. Now a famous person. "Practically oorn, a good race yard. Well, I'll be raised in my neck yard."
then, the grandcrาid of our dear Mamba. "Now that song of ders at the end of the act—no. I wouldn't call that outlandish—strange and difficult—that was a character after all suffer times in the plantations.
But not at the hands of the aristocracy—overseers—poor-wites—and, of course, traders....Saint—how distinguished he is looking now—so like his father—a Wentworth Silly of me to sit here crying when I'm so happy—when the fight is all love.—when my children have won...What a sensitive profile he has—a thoroughbred—a success—a manager of the St. Cecilia Society—youngest on the board.... Valerie—a fitting mate for my boy—lovely now with that smile on her lips—living in the memory of the music, no doubt—well, she's of the new generation, perhaps she gets more out of it than I do...A good mother to my boy's son—a good daughter to me... Shall I go behind the scenes with Saint afterward? Shall I take Valerie instead right after the curtain and leave him to follow? These new Negroes—so different—wouldn't understand who I am—something awkward might happen—expect to be addressed as Mr. and Mrs. no doubt—No. I couldn't manage that... Now, Lissa, she would understand with her Southern raising... But the others! No, it would not be wise to stay. Saint can wait if he wants to and join us later. It is different, less complicated, with a man.
And on Wentworth's left, with the smooth ivory of her shoulder brushing his broadcloth sleeve, sits Valerie lazier in her own reverence. Is the boy, taking proper car of him? He's such a restless sleeper — needs watching; he's so absurd like Saint. It is good to know that once, at an important event, he is respected in the best, throw your weight on the right side. Good to know that your child will have every comfort—every chance that your husband is in charge of your place. Lissel's strange upside-down place the world is. Mamba!

Yes, but money makes such a difference—gives talk, sing, I wonder, or paint—the boy. Slowly the light in the big auditorium commenced to ebb, dimming the modern decorations and endowing them with a mysterious beauty, then night. The slow throb of music filled the dark, then the curtain of the act dewd up on a stage of swirling mists and vague hall-lit-ihs. stare at the watchers in attitude of rigid expectancy.
Dawn ago, but no longer the red of an old despair. A thin, essential radiance breathed upward behind the massed towers of a metropolis gathered around the gathers of the evil, like lioness, at air aurora, gliding the towers, then dominating them. The music caught the mood of the sky. The arresting dissonances, the sharp syncopies of the evil, seem to be longer than merge into a broader, irresistible current of sound. The rhythm, too, was no longer a thing separate. It became a force as indistinguishable and pervasive as the life current. It was aunderdemand, the sway of the crowd, the passage of time, in a concerted and inevitable progression. The artificial declamations of operatic-convention were gone. The cast was reduced to two elemental figures, heavy masses, rhythms and reiterated choruses was the body, and the single transendent mezo-soppa that soared above it was the spirit, aspiring, daring, despairing, lifttime again. The movement became faster. The chorus from its inertia and carry it along on short daring flights. Then, in a final acceleration, the scene soared toward its tremendous climax. The light, the movement, the music, merged into a sweeping crest. The chorus from its lethargy, while the voice of the woman climbed triumphantly above it until it shook the aike a storm of beating wings. Then the curtain shot downward.

Are Fraternities of Real Value to Colleges?
AFRO Reader's Question Answered by High School, Normal School and College Heads.
To the Editor:
When there are so many interesting features in your publication that one might mention, you will probably wonder why it is to commend the column and noted to thoughts and expressions from local leaders. It is because this column, aside from its current interest, is a real study. It gives one an insight into the personality of his fellow-workers. It gives me a deep into now other people think.
influence that results to the undergraduates.
Briely, from study, observation, and experience. I know that the fraternity-house can be made a valuable team institution, but such a house should never become the residence of only young, irresponsible undergraduates. Faculty representation and alumni are imperative.
However, the newer "home" idea is to suplant the dormitory-a practice which is grouping students.
Your recent question, "Whom Would You Like to Hang?" was especially illustrative of this point because it was particularly paried reactions from those interviewed that one subconsciously stopped to think of the individual who would be hanging from a port such of human nature this column offers a wealth of material. D. MAE COLEMAN. Baltimore, Maryland. P.S.-Here's a question I should like to see discussed if you have any experience. "Are Profinities of Real Value to Colleges and Universities?"
CLANNISHNESS
Fraternities have been and can be helpful and constructive in rostering high standards of scholarship and service. Fraternities have been conducive to developing race pride and forward movements of real benefit among Negroes. They have sought to keep inviolate a high moral order among their members. Fraternities have been in real years the manifestation of an extreme clamish and partisan spirit among fraternity members has resulted in serious disruption in athletics and the allocation of student facilities. While many worthy and useful individuals do not belong to any college fraternity, I am of the opinion that on the whole they are valuable assets to college life.

FROM LINCOLN UNIVERSITY
IT is harder to answer, as fraternities differ and the personnel in each one changes from year to year.
At Lincoln University the fraternities have sponsors and the personnel was a time when their influence was supposed to be unfavorable to athletics, but I do not think this is true now.
When fraternities stand for high scholarship and for many Christian manners and not out antiquated methods of initiation I think they deserve the approval of educational authorities.
Wm. HALLOCK JOHNSON President Lincoln University.
FROM MORGAN COLLEGE
Your question concerning the value of fraternities in colleges and universities is the result of a categorical reply. Are it like asking the question, "Are people good or bad?"
There are good fraternities and bad ones, and some are good in one location, but many may not be in one location. Fraternities are organized conservatively, live up to the rules of their organization and co-operate with the school authorities, they serve a valuable purpose, being to do this for the benefit of the social value and may be absolutely harmful.
J. O. SPENCER.
President,

COPPIN NORMAL SCHOOL
Whether fraternities are of value to institutions of learning depends upon the attitude of the institutions to the fraternities and the attitude of the fraternities to the institutions in general.
I fully believe that a fraternity with high ideals of manhood and scholarship directed by intelligent and unselfish students in an institution where the administration is tolerant and sympathetic with student life may be a more powerful influence for good among its members and the student body of professors in the institution.
On the other hand, I believe, that where these ideals do not dominate and where the leadership is swayed by selfish motherhood, the school offices, regardless of their fitness, trying at all cost to dominate every phase of school activity, playing cheap politics, using unfair means of persuasion, and even unjustifiable coercion to gain its objectives—such a fraternity is more central to the welfare of the institution.
While one must admit that the latter situation has come about in many instances, yet he must also admit that this civil is not inherent in the "Fraternity Idea." Many fraternities have been very helpful to college life in every way.
MILES W. CONNOR.

FROM ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL
I have an abiding faith in the fraternity-house that is properly conceived and carefully nurtured. Such a type is an asset to any college that has the prevailing kind of deference and respect, kindness in Negro colleges—veritable barracks, benefit of even a semblance of home life. Until a comparatively recent date, college dormitories throughout the country are more than sleeping-quarters. My own personal experience with the Omega Phi Fraternity, during a year's residence in the house, led me to realize that home life within such walls. I was a professor at Howard at the time. I slept in the house. ate with the students, played cards with them, attended their meetings and a few of their classes on Sunday, to bring practical lessons to my comrades and taught most of them in the classrooms, without the expenditure of any dignity of respect. I cherished my year as one of the most valuable memorable of my professional career.
The obvious danger of the fraternity-house lurks in the absence of interest and guidance of older heads and students to have confidence. Like all other activities, the fraternity-house per se is not ideal. The same comment may be made to the dramatic role the debating team plays in the football team.udent activities need sympathetic supervision and guidance. It is as easy to have a clean fraternity-house as it is antithesis. Any student should become a dangerous weapon. Unguided student life is pretty certain to lead to chaos; but when faculty, alumni, and undergraduates can get together uninterrupted, it is difficult to overemphasize the real

influence that results to the undergraduates.
Briety, from study, observation and experience, I know that the fraternity-house can be made a valuable asset to any institution, but such a house should never become the residence of only young, irresponsible undergraduates. Faculty representation and alumni are imperative.
If, however, the newer "home" idea is to supplant the dormitory-a practice which is grouping students in smaller numbers and placing each group as a family, under some striking personality as a sponsor, there may come less need for the fraternity-house; but as long as the old-type of dormitory persists, the real agency for supplying the necessary home life will be the fraternity-house.
The point that I want you to catch is that the old-type dormitory, so lacking in home life, is virtually responsible for the birth and development of the fraternity house. Until the better substitute is offered, the fraternity-house will remain essential to student life.

Those Saved Pennies
By BETTY BARCLAY
An old couple of eighty years were anxious to celebrate sixty years of wedded bliss by inviting children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren to their home.
There were over forty relatives in and around the flooring of their bedroom and in this case the site and the old gentleman shook his head as he thought of the expense involved.
But not so the old lady. On their wedding night she had noticed a crack between the flooring of their bedroom and in this case "for luck" as she in sickness or in health, whether money was scarce or plentiful, another penny had followed after the first.
With a smile she pried up the flooring and began to scoop up the accumulated pennies until she had a heap which kept dad counting for hours. There were 21,915 pennies, in fact—$219.15 in actual cash. This was far more than enough to stage the celebration they had in mind.
Does not this give us a lesson? Suppose the penny had been a dime

My dear Mrs. Jerome:—
For years my husband has been untrue to me. Every one in our vicinity knows it. They also know that I have been true to him. No because he untrue him, supports but because I loved nobody else. Now, I do and now I am contemplating being untrue to him. What makes me hesitate is that despite all I have stood from him he will not, I know we should say unfulfillment from me. He will drive me out without a cent and the man I love is unable to support me as I am used to living. Please tell me what to do.

Advantages For the Children
HILDA RICHMOND
Mr. Jones was rejoicing over his wonderful good year in business, more because of what he could do for his children than for his own purpose.
"I'm going to get the boys each a tip top slep," he confided to his wife as December twenty-fifth approached. "When I was a boy I had to make my own things, and I want my children to have some advantages. For of us boys to drag the old heavy old slep we cobbled together to the hill where we wanted to slide."
Santa Claus was very generous to the boys children and youngest enjoyed the much they did—winding toys and making wheels go round on Christmas morning. It was an ideal Christmas for coasting, so after dinner in company with a number of neighborhood youngsters we got out for the hill a few blocks away.
"Let's go over and watch them, Mary," said Mr. Jones. "We won't let them see us, but I'd like to know them. We've been sledded, this being the first winter we lived where they could coast. It's a novelty to them, but their Dad coasted from November till spring, year after year. Four boys painted along near Mr. and Mrs. Jones with a home-made sled. Their caps were tied firmly dc m with old pieces of flannel that they wore for their mer days, and their home-made miltens were clumsy and big. Mr. Jones looked at them with pity in his eyes remembering his own limited outfit hurried merrily on. They reached the brow of the hill out of breath and throwing themselves face down on the hill. Back they came angrily and instantly every boy on the hill was bargaining for a ride. Mr. Jones become intensely interested. He and his wife arrived in time to hear their men begging to go down "first one."
Catching sight of their father they rushed to him to say, "O. Papa, wont you help us make a good sled like that? It is so much better than the one you made." When Mr. and Mrs. Jones walked homeward after watching the fun, the father laughed as he said, "Mary, all my ideas of advantages have had a chance to be exhibited. Well be cheating our children if we don't encourage them to meet and overcome difficulties." "I'm glad we both found that out before the children are grown up," said Mrs. Jones.
called it. Every night from then on, We'll hold them in our $2,000 in them this ten cents a day saved; or if they had deposited the money in a bank, they would probably have at least $5,000 by adding the accumulated interest.

one. But do it before you are unfaithful and you will feel more justified in demanding a financial settlement.
I do not give you any credit at all being faithful for many years since he had the incitation to be otherwise and since you were evidently being well supported for your patience. Still, I gather you are untrained for work of any kind, so if he is well off is it just that he contributes to your success in the kind of settlement. If he were not well off, I would say you should shift for yourself, since your virtue has been of a negative sort—deserving no great reward.
I suspect, however, that you won't take this advice. You will go ahead and try to have you in your place, but you are liable to lose both your cake and your appetite if you do it.
And, as a final slap, my dear, I must say that your new love must not be very impassioned or you would be willing to sacrifice your luxuries for it. To be sure, it is nice to have your circumstances, but your circumstances, in trying to have both you; may lose both.

middle by "King Neptune," and was given a salt water bath, after which he received a "diploma." From there the journey continued to Massomados and then on for two days to the mouth of the Congo River. A sixty-mile trip up the Congo took eighteen hours, because of the swifness and strength of the current, which reminded the traveler of Niagara rapids. The return trip down river, however, was made in four hours, until a stop was made at Matadih, in the Belgian Congo, where there is a big business in elephant trade. Some of the finch-ivory is exported from there. A sixteen-day stay was made at this place, where the crew fought the heat in the daytime and the mosquitoes at night.
It was on this river trip that the new voyagers received their most intimate picture of Africa. Numbers of crocodiles, some as long as fifteen feet, were seen sunning themselves on rocks with mounds opening up to the water, a chance to get a meal by picking their teeth for food. There were glimpses of bush men, uncivilized, who threw rocks and sticks at the ship when the whistle blew. After leaving the Konzo river, the steamed onto the St. Vincent Cape shore Islands, where it took oil for the ship, and rather rough and stormy voyage, the steamer reached Boston January 11, in ice weather.

When You Over indulge
Every man, woman and child will occasionally over-indulge. But don't suffer for all your indistrections. It's folly to do so. You can so easily sweeten and settle a sour, upset stomach with a little Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
Hearty eaters have long since learned the quick comfort this perfect anti-acid brings. Smokers know how it neutralizes nicotine; brings back a sweet taste; guards the breath. Women know what it does for nausea—or sick headache. And when children have over-eaten—are biops, constipated or otherwise upset—give them a little of the same, pleasant-tasting and milky-white Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
You'll be through with crude methods once you learn the perfect way. Nothing

The stuffied frosty weather or anxiety so far as that's concerned, he was the last Friday meant nothing to the "Big Boss," Mr. Carl Murphy. The copy and letters and papers of every description piled on his desk, was his whole mind's thought. So what it the usual thing—an interview with someone, or a message from his secretary—he quietly said, "Come." So, Panx, when he Samuel Hayward, with a huge basket of flowers with a huge basket of flowers in half of the Afro employees, congratulating him for having passed another birthday, he was too touched ad full to say hardly anything, and he was thinking of his thoughts and his work, for once. But at the same time, Mrs. Panx, Murphy was working havoc at home—in other words arranging a birthday smoker in his house.

Pretty Bridge Party.
Mrs. Ford, Pansy, had another one of her pretty parties on Monday as the hostess of the W.W. Bridge Club and a whole lot of extra guests.

Her bridge necessities were nifty, and the tea punch which was kept everybody in just the right frame of mind for playing. The prizes, gee, white, was way out there, and the card table covers for one prize, for table covers and one of those lovely perfume atomizers was another; a flowered chifon beautiful dance handkerchief; Steiff silver butter knife and so on.

A Birthday Party.
My, Panys, Lillian H. Lee, of 211 N. Carolina Street, was one little soul on our last Sunday when she sat in the kitchen, pretending to party in honor of her twelfth birthday. There were twenty-six of her little friends, all dressed in brate, and each one of them brought a gift that was both beautiful and useful. Radio music and piano selections furnished the evening's pleasure. When they were asked to the dining room to be served, the table did look too pretty for words. Pink was the color scheme, and a birthday cake with twelve pink candles, was placed on the table. course, cut the first slice and after that, what a time they did have, enjoying the lovely repast.

Eugenia Hostess.
Eugenia Williams, of 1908 Madison Bridge Club on Saturday evening in a very unique way. It was rather different from the usual bridge parties. Together, I think she had twenty guests. Her prizes were mostly of her own make and so very pretty, and her menu was so tasty and well gourmet. Eugenia is the wife of Dr. Nelson Williams, you know, and she has a wonderful personality. However, her body was loath to go, even when the mid-night horn was warning of Sunday morning. And, it's Showing again, Pansy and I have to watch it. Until next week.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, January 25, 1930
CHICAGO, (ANP.) — Fire thousand and frantic fans cheered and jeered here Wednesday night when the Chicago Bulls won the basketball champions, beaten in a close game by the Chicago Bruins, white, first division team of the American Basketball League, at the Chicago Stadium, by a 24-22 score.
Although the Bruins had beaten the Renaissance in Chicago last year, there was little hope that they would repeat that impressive recoil Renaissance has built up this year which included a 49-21 win over the Bruins. But the Bruins began their game they determined would be the most important court. The Renaissance team, which has been knocking over the American League teams like pins in a bowling alley, began with a game that lacked奖金 and their defense airtight. As a result, the Bruins, led by a young high school star, out to make a reputation, quickly piled up an eight to nothing lead, and soon scoring for the first 10 minutes, when Pappy Ricks got loose for his first marker which was followed by a tip-in by Eyre Saltch. The Bruins increased their score to lead at the end of the first half, 13
The floor work of the colored champions had completely dazzled the white boys in the first half, but the white boys through the basket while Renaissance was knocking the edge off. In the second half the Rens quickly cut down the Bruin lead to four points and the Bruins were repaired, guelling fight for victory. It was at this point that race fans felt the influence of the referee aled the Bruins. The Bruins were repeated, guelling fight for victory of the ball in the midst of a Renaissance rally. This factor forced the Renaissance boys to be always seeking to get the ball only to lose. Thus as the game ended the Bruin edge was earned in free throws. The basket throwing of Bramhall and the floorwork of Ely were factors the Bruin were the attackers and ranking starred for Renaissance. BRUNS, 24 NEW YORK, 24 G P P G P P G P P Hickey.lf.

BRUINS TOP RENS AGAIN
CHICAGO—(ANP) — The Renaissance basketball team, colored world champions, lost the second game of a two-game series with the Browns, and lost the game because Coggin, the Bruin referee, placed the Bruin players on the free-throw line at any time he took a notion, and declined to see the foils committed by the Bruin players. The Bruin players, chiefly at free-throw, ten of which they made. The Renaissance were given one chance and it was made. Renaissance score was compiled from 12 field baskets and one field. That the Bruins from eight field baskets and ten free throws.

The "coachless" hackers of the Coppin Normal School, scored their second victory over the Miner Normal team of Washington, by defeating the capital lads by a 19-15 score and their second meeting of of the season.
But their victory was not handed them on silver, but on more than one occasion the Miner became a dangerous threat, causing the locals to exert every effort to keep in the running. Starting out with no reserves in the lineup, the locals soon found that the visitors were no set-up.
However, it was not until the last half that Reggie Watts, Neal, and Dick Whitington, aces of the combo, entered the contest, and held off the opponents in efforts that the Coppinites were able to pull away with a four-point margin.
Miner drew first blood when Hopkins inking center, found the basket from the floor. Poppin was divided into halves instead of quarters, had progressed for six minutes before either team scored a field goal. Hill of the local pedagogy photograph first drew a first dceut-spot
Accurate caging on the part of the visitors, placed them in the van by an 8-6 margin at half-time. Opening the second half, young "Chink" Wyatt proved his versatility by eluding the Miner guards and sneaking away to sink a set-up shot. This visitors were adding a number of tailers from the charity stripe, Hopkins slapping the strings for five foul goals.
The entry of the regulars in the closing moments of the game, called for a rally that led by Wyatt and Whittington, ran the Copplines score to 19, while the Miner passers were straggling behind with thirteen points. A belated rally, started by Cawhorn, netted another basket for Miner, but the final whistle nipped it in the bud.

Hear Me Talkin' To Ya
FROM A RELEASE LEASE this week. I learn that the second annual national scholastic basketball tournament will be held at Hampton Institute, March 21 and 22 inclusive. I learn that anything I do will not be particularly participatory, immediately starts an argument. In the fullest sense of the word, this tournament will NOT be "national," in that there will be sections of the country that will not be represented. The mid-west, far west, far south, and New England region will probably not have teams entered. As least it is not expected that
the tournament then, will not be restricted to "district champions," but will be open to any teams desiring to enter. Last year, Armstrong High School of Washington won the national, the capital lads will be allowed to attend the tournament, and the tournament is not truly "national." Why can't it be made so, if the various schools will co-operate? Last year, this writer remembers, a number of schools that were expected to enter teams, dropped out at the last minute. Inadequate finances, they said, prevented them from announcing gives to schools desiring to enter teams, practically two months in which to make financial provision for sending representatives to Hampton. Benefit entertainments, student subscriptions, donations from public-spirited citizens and organizations, are just some of the sources that may be tapped in so
It seems to this Remington rattler, then, that if a school is desirous of competing for this mythical title it will immediately start preparations for raising the money to send its teams in sponsoring tournaments that will be a financial response. If other institution had the courage to assume, these schools have held state and sectional tournaments, but none has been bold enough to venture into an undertaking as big as this one is certain to become.
Charles H. Hickman, a physical director at Hampton, always on the alert to give an outlet to the urge for amateur athletic competition, has faith in his idea to make of this tournament a truly "national" one in the country, but from all sections of the nation. Whether or not the tournament should be held at Hampton at all times is of course, controversial. That is a minor matter, after all, compared to the matter of enlisting the equally worth while. The at the University of Chicago, has become a national institution, as important to the high school lads as the Penn Relays. This plank will be hard to imagine to the boys to let them off to take part in something that will be of material aid in popularizing the school. For, say what you will, athletics are here to stay, and if properly developed and encouraged, may be highly beneficial.
And with that the schools have teams who have to be "world-bearers" to get busy and raise the money so that the boys can go to Hampton and prove it.
THE TYPEWRITER of Orrin C. Evans, Philadelphia newspaper, brings us the yarn of Calvin Respres, one time trainer of Jack Johnson and said to be the man responsible for discovering and making Luis Pirro, the "Bull of the Pampas." A former fighter, himself Respres, 1914 went to Paris with Jack Johnson, his exhibition bouts, and upon his return to the United States, lost a hard fight to Jack Blackburn, whom he encountered in 1921 he journeyed to South Carolina, acquired a tib in a drugstore.
It was here that he, met Firpo, and, impressed with the latter's pugilistic possibilities, offered to teach him the manly art of self-defense, making an agreement that he (Respress) should receive a percentage of Firpo's earnings in case the boxer became a success. But when success came to Firpo, he is said to have forgiven his agreement with Respress, and when sued by Respress, the suit, Respress, disappointed, quit following the suit, and settled down to live in South America, many of whom, South American eight, have been born. Everyone is going nicely now—that is, unless the name of
That's the story of Signor Evans, and knowing him as I do, I'll stick to it.
OT FROM THE PRESS of the Carnegie Foundation, is Bulletin 24, 29th edition, about the now famous Bulletin 24, 29th died down, and giving further criticism of college athletics, under such headings as "Scholarship and Athletics," "Coaches and Coaching," et cetera. The report, which consists largely of excerpts from more articles which never appeared in print, contains 305 pages College. It comes to the ultimate conclusion that "Once opposed, then tolerated, athletics have come to be regarded as an important part of the educational process."
From the report one learns that:
"Existing opposing athletics is directed for the most part not with themselves, but at what are regarded as evils resulting from an exaggerated and commercialized athletic system, especially in intercollegiate football."
It is now recognized that more the educational institution college—must exert itself to administer athletics educationally, with adequate student responsibility, but freedom from outside non-educational control.
"The claim that athletics seriously interfere with scholarship apparently remains unproven, there is some rejection that athletics do not reach fully the levels of intellectual attainment their inherent ability would make possible.
"As to health, college athletes are found to have better life expectancy than the general population, but no better than the college population, which is itself a selected group, and not so good as that, of college men of high scholarship rank.
"More athletics rather than less athletics is generally accepted as one of the remedies for athletic ill—that is, an opportunity for all youth to participate in athletics through intra-mural and similar activities."
All of which is just another way of saying that sports are here to stay and that they must be encouraged rather than discouraged. This writer has always insisted upon the proper control of athletics in our schools and colleges. Faculty, team members should meet with management of athletic board or committee, each having equal representation in matters of voting, though there difference in numerical strength.
A new era in athletics is daunting, and it is encouraging to find that our schools are beginning to deal intelligently with their athletic problems. When the National Physical Education Association meets at Hopauney will be the opportunity for representation at all race schools and colleges to contribute something toward solving the various problems that arise. It is possible that the meeting of that body will be held this year in April, rather than in March, but whenewhere a writer believes that the meeting of that body will be representative present. It is much better to get together and talk over matters sanely, to stay at home and make criticisms.
ALLED, at one time, the "Fighting Bellhop," when he made his home in New York a time ago, Joe Fox, who later became a museum, drops a line from New York to this desk, outlining a plan he has, to make the Joe Fox Athletic Association something worth while for the race.
Joe explains that:
The Joe Fox Athletic Association will not promote any individual athlete, nor allow undue radical talks in any place controlled by the association, but each year in July, August or September, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Urban League, or other organizations may nominate a person or forms of athletics, under the management of the Joe Fox Athletic Association, for the benefit of their organizations.
He further states that he hopes to establish a casino and theatre in New York City and gyms and massage parlors in principal cities—if enough stock can be subscribed. He asserts the state of New York, with headquarters at 203 W. 135th Street, Joe's motion is before the house. Does this pallor hear a second?
TO MR. JAMES HARVEY: — Thank a lot for your letter of praise. And may I answer you by saying that an even more wonderful person is the man Boy and Charlie Smith of the Lincoln Giants, both outfielders, tied in the voting for the most valuable player in the American League.

Scurry replaced Gibbs at forward and played a "jam-up" game in his first try in big time. Gail Lucas was highest for Wilberforce, dropping four baskets: "Rock" Anderson dropped six for the Lion Tamers.

That is a minor matter, after all, compared to the matter of enlisting the support of enough schools to make it really worthwhile.

Morgan Outclasses Howard in Thrilling Court Joust
Local Pedagogs, Missing Many Scoring Chances, Eke Out 19-15 Verdict.
VISITORS THREATEN
Washington Team Handicapped by Weak Offensive.
Fans who saw the Morgan College cagers administer a 41-33 defeat to the Howard University passers in a Friday night, were convinced that a team, shot to pieces by the loss of two important cogs, can replace them and continue its winning streak.
Loss of Rap Wheatley and Cutie Brown, two of the best collegiate guards ever to dribble a basketball, would terribly cripple the local college team and at game time the Morgan camp was anything but confident of victory.
But the Jones "family" Lanky, Butler and Casey, asked by some friends by the names of Pinky Clarke, Spencer, Hackett and Saunders, the latter three, local boys, demonstrated that the Morgan cagers again have their hats in the championship ring. Butler, Gibson's opening whistle died out, than Lanky Jones, he of the altitudinal fetch, had caught the ball as it caromed off the backboard, and then Gibson's opening whistle died out, then Lanky Jones, he of the altitudinal fetch, had caught the ball as it caromed off the backboard, and then the first, doubledecker of the evening.
1500 See Game
The 1500 fans that had packed themselves into the limited confines of the hall, were on edge, and it was only a minute later that Williams, Howard forward, gave them another pass, and the cords from the difficult angle inside the 15-foot mark. A goal by Taylor gave Howard a temporary lead, which was shortened, however, the ball passed through the sphere through the netting twice within the next few minutes. Morgan, led by the India-rubber-like Pinky Clark, had opened up a passing attack that was almost offensive however, was leaving the Bears weak on the defensive, and time and again the Howard forwards threw scoring opportunities to the winds by not watching carefully the move of Sant's guards, Babe and Casey Jones.
Bears Lead at Half
Lanky Jones and Pinky Clarke, with Jack Spencer contributing, ran the score up to 22-10 in Morgan's favor as he scored a goal in an unnaturally high type, the Morgan forward weaving in and out of scrimmage, anticipating plays in an almost uncontested A flashy offensive, in which every player followed up his shot, brought Morgan four basket before the visitors could get going in the second half. Morgan before Beasley, the Bison center, slapped one through the mctting to raise Howard's total. Followed by deuce spots contributed by Hall and Taylor, but Howard was unable to head the locals. Coach Hurt sent in Rutus Hacker, contributing three field goals to Morgan's total and playing an excellent defensive game.
Much of Howard's scoring came from the chase by Bison's Bisons in 21 of 21 goal goals. Morgan committed 12 fouls, a large number of them carrying a two-shot penalty, while Howard had only three called. Morgan however, made good plays.

ALEXANDER'S BASKET WINS FOR HAMPTON
Seasiders Capture 25-24 Game from St. Paul in Overtime Period.
SAINT'S SHOTS SURE
Guarding of Clay Features: Hampton Defense.
HAMPTON INST., Va. — The St. Paul Tigers held the Hampton Seasiders to a 23-23 tie and extended them through a hectic overtime period only to drop the game 25-24.
St. Paul meant to win the game and for a while it seemed she would, but there was not much to do. But there was method in her madness as Hughes, Wells, McNair and Butler kept up a continual fusillade against the backboard, shooting from center and every angle of the court.
Hampton played a polished and systematic game but even the laws of the game were not in score of tries, Cotton, usually a dead shot, only registered, two. The Seasiders were the pace-setters but Cotton well and kept in points what Hampton easily had in speed and offensive brilliance. Alexander and Cotton were the main artillerymen, and Cotton was by far the best guard on the floor.
St. Paul Ties Score
With five minutes to go Hughes tied things up, 21-21. Butler came in for justus Cotton on Cotton's helmet, but Captain Oliver then broke the tie with a well placed free crop and retired from the games. He then headed to go Butler and Cotton started out again, and this time Butler scored from center. Apparently St. Paul had cinched the game and the stands were full. Cotton's sonal foul on St. Paul — victory or defeat rested in the hands of "Monk" Taylor. He made it as the gun shot.
Alexander Wins Games
With both captains banished to the sidelines by four fouls, exhausted from twenty minutes of neveracking, he was forced to slice the knot. There was a minute of threatening with Butler, Cotton, and Hughes brining gasoline to the field. The Alexander Hampton's high point man, rescued Hampton from defeat. St. Paul vain. Hampton was trapped, gaining however another point at Burkes made a free throw.

TESTED RECIPES FOR THE WEEK-END
BUMMAGE PICKLES
From British Columbia
Chop 2 quarts green tomatoes, 1 quart ripe tomatoes, 1 medium cabbage, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon teapot pe. per. Sprinkle with 1 cup salt and let stand overnight. In morning drain through coiler, add pints water and a teaspoon mustard oil and a teaspoon mustard mixed with 1 little vinegar. Cook for one hour and seal.
A FALL SALAD
Don't neglect the alad merely because summer fruits and vegetables are bidding you farewell for a few months. Many, and in fact most, of the salad ingredients are year-round foods, so if you have been catering exclusively to seasonal desserts, learn to prepare salads from other constituents. Lettuce is now obtainable at any time. So are oranges, lemons and bananas. If you can't get fresh pineapple, you can use apples to cherries as well. Whipped cream is a year-round delicacy. So try this salad and make it an August favorite. Spread crisp lettuce leaves on a salad plate. Cover with several slices of oranges on which you place two long strips of pineapple and one banana. Spread the fruit with flavored whipped cream and, cherry, or colorful berry of any kind. Just before serving sprinkle the fruit and lettuce with a syrup made by mixing several ounces of lemon juice of one orange and half a lemon.
DILL PICKLES
4 Michigan Recipe
Fill jars with even-sized cucumbers with one large dulil flower mixed through the center of each jar, and cover with the following liquid:
2 quarts water
1/4 cup sage oil
1/12 cup vinegar
Heat to boiling and pour over pickles while hot. Seal at once. This method assures dills that are crisp delicious and sure to keep.
HOW TO PREPARE VEGETABLE DISHES
Many women fail to get the most out of their vegetable dishes, either because they lack the ability to add a touch of sugar. Too much water absorbs the flavor of the vegetable. A dash of sugar in the water (a small quantity of water at the end of a recipe) is the vegetable, and also supplies a bit of quick energy food to the dinner.
A DELICIOUS ORANGE DISH
Put peel from eight oranges in cold water; heat to boiling point, and cook gently, until very tender. Drain; put in pot on a heat-resistant surface; cover and membrane and soft, porion. Boil one cup sugar and one-half cup water until spin spins a thread; put

EAT MORE. BUT MORE CAREFULLY
Cold weather is coming, and cold weather means that the body needs added fuel if it is to withstand the cold. This means more food, but many err in partaking of the wrong kind of food. Instead of increasing too heavily on your meat, fish, bread and eggs, lean strongly on your green vegetables, your milk and your fresh fruits.
Serve a larger range at breakfast, or to small ones instead, so that you will balance the acidity of the bacon and the sweetness of the cheese and the fruit cup at dinner. Cater strongly to spinach, raw cabbage, celery, carrots, turnips and other vegetables that may be secured! fresh.

Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness
The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can't be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly.
Tanaka has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even one of years standing.
Local people, many of whom you are here are highly endorsing Tanaka. For example, Mrs. Ellen White says: "For years I suffered from indigestion. I got no relief from anything until I took Tanaka. After my fourth lie, I feel like a new person and have a line appetite."
You suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, diarrhea, nausea, constipation, or torpor. If you have no appetite you sleep and are nervous and run down, you need Tanaka. It is good, pure medicine, of roots, herbs and barks. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Money back if it doesn't help you. Accept no substitute.

Memphis Wants P.T.A
Plans for a parent-teacher organization in the schools in Memphis were discussed at a mass meeting held at the Memphis Negro Community Center last week.
County Training Schools
Beginning with the Session 1911-12, at the request of four county superintendent, establishing county training schools in these four counties. There was evident need for at least one good Central Public School in each county. The plan almost immediately met with opposition from superintendents. Fulter information about these schools will be found in the Annual Reports of the John P. Slater Fund, which will be sent on application. (Box 413, Charleston, Va.) Many of these schools have now become four year high schools. Another interesting fact is that many are denominations have been involved in arrangement with the county school authorities, become county training schools.
The progress in 15 years is shown by the following figures:
In 1914 there were 8 schools: 1 in Alabama; 1 in Georgia; 1 in Louisiana; 1 in Mississippi and 1 in Virginia. These received for salaries $4,000 from the Slater Fund and $1,686 from public tax funds.
In 1928-27 there were 368 in 13 states. The amount contributed by the Slater Fund (dargely aided by the General Education Board) for salaries and equipment was $153,666, while public tax funds spent $188,863. The total expenditure in the 368 county training schools in 1928-29 was $1,086,000. The Smith-Hughes Fund the Rosenwald Fund and various local sources were $2,201,407.

First Conference of Series Held at Department of Interior.
Howard, W. Va., Fla., Ark., College Heads There.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The first of a series of conferences being held by the National Advisory Committee on Education convened at the Department of Interior January 14 to make a clear definition of the problems of Federal relation to Negro education, the chairman, Dr. Charles R. Mann, stated orally in summarizing the results of the meeting.
Information necessary to arrive at a proper understanding of the problem, Dr. Mann said, centers about three questions: What is being done? What are the stakes are in the way of realizing the proper relations between the Governor; and the Negro in his educational training?
The official discussion was reduced to three outstanding matters of importance: First, the distribution of Federal grants for land-grant college education in proportion to population as between the Negro and the non- Negro; Second, the distribution of funds for experiment stations.
Dr. Mann said that the conference brought out the fact that a relatively small amount of money went to the students in comparison with what goes to white education upon a basis of population in Alabama. It was pointed out, there are six demonstration farms for the students, and the farm for the Nerocres, although the Negro population is very great. A second matter of importance before the conference was the recognition to a point of capacity-in research and in participation in experiments in the land-grand colleges. It followed. Dr. Mann explained, that the students would put their abilities into practice.
Seek to Remove Obstacles
Dr. Mann said the third matter involved a question of whether the inequalities of educational opportunities for the Negro can be corrected under the present system; that is, the need for a new curriculum and the Federal Board for Vocational Education can bring about the needed corrections alone, or whether a special act by Congress would correct the series of conferences now in progress. Dr. Mann explained, attended by representatives of both races, will endeavor to answer these questions in an effort to formulate a new curriculum for the Negro's obstacles in the way of a more rationalized distribution of funds for the education of the Negro. The Negro land grant colleges were present.
Those attending the conference in addition to Dr. Mann were: Henry Suzallo, director of the National Advisory Committee on Education; F. D. Bluford, president of the Nebraska Land Grant College of North Dakota; F. D. Bluford, president of West Virginia State College; Mordecail Johnson, president of Howard University; J. R. E. Lee, president of Florida Agriculture and Mechanical College; R. R. Moton, principal, and A. L. Holley, secretary; Tuskegee University; J. R. Holley, C. N.

CLEVELAND, Ohio.—
That there are less than twenty "homes" fostered by dependable social agencies for non-delinquent girls is the finding of a country-wide survey made by Miss Jane A. Hunter, Ph.D., of Philadelphia, Department of the National Association of Colored Women.
This department of the National Association is putting forth an effort to have every organization and individual, operating institutions or homes, and girls co-ordinate the work under one name. The Phyllis Wheatley Association, set up a common code and general standards, and place such homes on a more dignified plane than the office-called "working girls' homes."
Girls Unsophisticated
"Thousands of girls are leaving mother's home for the first time," says Miss Hunter. "They are young, uprisphisticated, and unattached. They carry all of their earthly possessions in their hands, the nature in the hollow of their hands, and their hearts in their mouthes. "They step off of the trains in strange cities and among small strangers, with nowhere to go and no place to stay, that thousands of them go astray, and are lost every year." Yes, lost.

During the early days of Auction Bridge in this country a five-card suite headed by the Ace. King with three small cards is intended to be an Initial suit bid. Nowadays this is considered sufficient, though it is the minimum, and a bidder making this bid initially with only this strength should never proceed further in the bidding. The bidders will tell you partner of the possibility of you being able to make four tricks if your bid stands, but if it doesn't stand, you will be able to turn two quick tricks. So you see that if you pass the first trick, you will have ware of the strength of your hand even though it is the minimum.
It is reasonable to expect that a person that passes up the opportunity to bid one initially cannot bid two on the second round. With this holding against a No Trump bid the holder is practically a free agent, and the adversaries provide of course that the adversaries hold a 3-2 or a 3-2 split.
To obtain this you must allow the
adherence of the following:
The adherence. Here is an example.
With the indicating lead given by South, the dealer, his partner, North, would lead the tray of Sades to South, and then lead the tray of Sades to West, wishing with the Queen. On the next round of Sades, South would win with the King, picking Dummy and 10 from East, in case Dummy had refused to play the ten on the first round of the sub. On the next round of Sades, South picked Dummy and also cleaning up all the adverse Sades and also cleaning up Dummy hand in Spades. South could then cash his 9 and 5 of Sades, making him the dealer by holding on the first round.
with this holdie is not only beneficial on the defense, it is very valuable on the offensive. It elves the partner information that may result in a hand which without the information conveyed by the one bid, would have been too weak for anything but a pass. Supposing the hands held were
If dealer bid one Snade his partner, third hand, will bid No Trump the dealer pass, the deal would be passed out as second hand is not strong enough initially, and third and fourth hands would be enough to bid on a partner's pass.
We work you will receive the requirements for side strength bidding.
Questions and Answers
Mrs. Amiece N. Williams, of Goldsboro, N. C., sent in the following letter, Dear Mr. Taliafero: and questions:
I have been following your Bridge articles each week and have been playing Bridge fun. We have a club here and play Bridge each week but I found out that we have been playing entirely wrong. I cut the rules out of last week's paper and had them read before my club. We have we have been playing; so we shall proceed at our next meeting to play the game right.
There are some few points that I am not clear on and I would like to know, so if I am to make corrections, I want to play I want to it intelligently.
During a play in last week's meet- ing my partner made a misdial, which we did not discover. which last card we ever played the twelfth. my card was discovered in Dummy hand. Should the hand have been voided or should I have been a new deal by the same dealer drawn my card from the Dummy hand? Ans. Yes we took the hand a widely, very wide, and the hand a wide, should have been voided.
Should you keep individual or official scores at Bridge games, or club interleague games, players keep their individual scores with the official score. This serves as a sort of check on the official scores always precedes the games.
I have no books on Bridge, but you can secure all the books you desire on Bridge from the John Winston Co. Winston Blade. Philadelphia Pa. Would advise you to secure C. Work's Office book, or B. Work's Office book will give you the laws of Bridge and also very helpful pointers on the game.
Mrs. Annice N. Williams.
I am appreciate Mrs. Williams' letter and am immensely pleased to have assured my customers intelligence." Jr. is the desire to do things intelligently that makes people do them properly.

physically and morally, because there was no open door and no home to receive them. Where the women and girls are going, what is going to become of them is one of the biggest and most vital questions facing our social agencies.
Less Than 20 Homes
"After a survey of the whole country, I have found less than twenty homes for non-delinquent girls supported by sponsor groups. Secondly, that we have about $1,200,000 invested in such homes, of this amount $800,000 is invested in Cleveland. At the end of this survey, we simply ask one question: What can these twenty women do for our ordered women and girls who are away from home? What can they do for economic development and social protection and prove shelter for these millions of travelers? Third, colored women are working on our social problems, but we are not working together."

If you pass initially with this holding and a No Trump is bid passes, the dealer is compelled to pass again without having given his partner an indicating idea of the strength of his hand.
Spades A,K,2,8,7
You can see that an initial bid of one with its *holding*, even though it is the *minimum*, is just as good as the *holding* is held in the adverse hands, the establishing of this *sit* will save game often. Anyways if your partner has not this *bid* can cost you a lot of money, holding all the *strength* they certainly would not be foolish enough to double your bid of one.

WHITEVILLE, N.C. — Assisted by his wife who does a great deal of the grading of his products, William Spaulding here, Produce Merchant, sells hundreds of crates of vegetables and fruits every week.
Besides the products he buys directly from farmers, Spaulding has many acres of land leased and cultivated for himself. Because his work necessitates his traveling he does not do his own farming.
Moving Pictures Show Mme. Walker Co.
A complete picturization of the Mme. C. J. Walter plant has been realized in the industrial moving picture no being completed here.
This is a well written story of the late Mme. C. J. Walker and the company which she founded and of her daughter, Aelia only heir and president and owner of the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co.
Seventy-five Per Cent
"This year," Mr. Spaulding said. I bought 75 per cent of all the beans sold in Columbus and Brunswick counties. One week I sold twenty-seven hundred crates of beans."
"This is not so much thee," he continued, "when you consider the large amounts of produce that the large warehouses and companies need. I work strictly on contract so that there is no danger of my losing in case of falling prices. Among my customers are both Carolina Sanitarium at Sanitarium, N.C., and Pinehurst, incorporated.
Contracts
"If my present negotiations turn out well, I will have contracts with farmers from whom I buy, which shall also assure them of fixed prices. According to this contract, their products are sold to me at stipulated prices."
"Therefore if prices soar, I am safe. If they fall, the farmer has no fears."
Over to Cuba
His itinerary to buy his fruits and vegetables includes points as far as Georgia, Florida, and Cuba. On some of these trips he is accompanied by a chef, who, he insists, usually she stays here and superintends the grading at his packing house.
Among the produce which he handles are strawberries, oranges, peaches, and grapes, sweet potatoes, nese cabbage, sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli, kohl rabi, spinach and eggplant.
Man-like Mr. Paulding emphasizes his part of his thriving business, but he has to break down and sell his wife is more than a silent, partner.

WHEELER IN ATTACK
ON RADIO COMMITTEE
Montana Senator Says Colored Appointees Contemplated.
PROBE IS ASKED
Unnamed Newspaper Report, er is Quoted.
WASHINGTON—The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee listened to an attack upon the Federal Radio Commission by Senator Burton K. Wheeler (Dem. Mont.), who termed the commission a political football, January 13.
Wheeler said that a newspaperman whom he did not know, had information that Tidad Brown, of Ohio, the commission's attorney, had to experience in the radio field, and was planned to appoint two Ohio Negroes who also had no experience to assist him in the work.
"If the Republican party wants to pay its indebtedness to the Negro race in this country," advised Wheeler, "it certainly ought not to pay to the places where they are going to commission which has been created for a benefit of all the people of the country."
Clarence Vena, an Ohioan, who was in this city at the time, declared: "I mean nothing, I mean nothing, and other Democratic Congress from districts unfavorable to the Negro or where the Negro influence is not felt, are depended on the Negro born to embarrass the fair government of the government program."
