HALF TO COUNSEL Wealth from Farm was Usurped by Oil Co. KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(ANP)—Word has been received by Mrs. Mary Harris Wallace, 2928 Jarbose Street, this city, that she has won a fortune of six and one-half million dollars as her share of a ten-year legal battle with the Texas Oil Company in the courts of Tulsa, Okla. Mrs. Wallace learned of her wealth, she says, in a long distance telephone conversation with her lawyers in Tulsa. The total amount won from the oil company was thirteen millions of dollars, but by contract, one-half of the money was to pay the firm which handled the case through the long fight. From 200-Acre Farm The wealth comes directly from a 200-acre farm just north of Tulsa, which was left to Mrs. Wallace by her grandmother, Mrs. Brown, the fourth Indiana governor. According to Mrs. Wallace, the Texas company has been drilling on the farm for the past nineteen years and in that time has disputed her title and has paid no royalties. The company has also disputed the court judged she should have been entitled to over all the years. Oil is still being pumped from wells on the land, and Mrs. Wallace left Friday for Tulsa to take over the oil company. Royalties and clear up the little business of six and one-half millions.

Well, when you ask them that, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Wallace has much to say. One thing is certain: they are a cautious couple and no "sputtering" will be in order yet. They talked a bit about investing wealth in good securities and a part of a estate. They know one needs lawyers, bankers, and trust companies. They've seen three other oil millionaires throw away fortunes, and they are going to try to avoid their mistakes. They never mentioned an automobile, although they probably will get one or more later. Just now they want to be let alone, they want people to stop ringing their door bell, and their telephone. They want a chance to to six and a half million dollars.

He has not always been marching in the front row of the prade, at the head of the line. He do well to remember that the arts and letters, poetry, painting, drama, architecture, sculpture, the science of astronomy, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and the principles of metals, and the principles of mechanics were all discovered or invented by the dark-skinned Jews, whom we call interior.

Cotten, Acting Secretary of State, recommending an increase in the salary of the minister resident and consul general of the United States to liberia from $5,000 to $10,000 a year. This is the third request for legislation authorizing an increase in the salary of the minister to Liberia that has been made of Congress. Two recommendations were made by President Coolidge. They were pledged by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs of US minister to Liberia. Commacant since the death of his last year. president Hoover in his message "he is in full accord with the means advanced by the Acting Secretary of State in support of the increase and I strongly urge upon the press the enactment of legislation authorizing it." The report of Acting Secretary of State, Cotton, to the President, is in art as follows: Lowest in Liberia The salary of $6,000 now appropriated for this office is inadequate to disproportionate to the salaries paid to the classified Foreign Service officers of the United States and is less than that received by any other foreign representative in Montréal, of whom has a higher grade than charge d'affaires, as those who do not have salaries equal to that of American representative have the benefit of allbums and per- 100 Missionaries The United States has a number definite interests in Liberia, all of which the American minister must maintain and advance. There are important interests involving about 100 American nations, both white and colored, in an estimated investment of and a yearly budget of 2. 000.000 A Year in Rubber American capital is being invested in a gee scale in the development of larger plantations. An American permit permits the planting of 20,000 trees at the rate of about 20,000 per year and at an approximate $1,000,000 annually.

Cost of Living Higher WELLS EXHIBITS WILLARD ALLEN WARNS GROUP OF LABOR CRISIS Interrupting the laudatory and festival spirit of a banquet given for him and three members of a party recently returned from a trip through the South and to the Pacific Coast, Willard W. Allen, M o s t Puisant Sovereign Grand Commander of the Masonic United Supreme Council, warned his hearers that an industrial crisis is facing the Negro in America today, Tuesday night. "Nothing impressed me on this trip than the evident losses we are sustaining in the labor fields of the South and West. All white train crews, white red caps, white cooks and waitresses, show to what extent the South are taking jobs once held by race men and women," he said. "Flocks of migrants wandering through the country, and unemployment are making a crisis for us which all kills of business, professions and women and organizations are bound to feel at no distant date." South Active "While the South is trying to meet the situation by the establishment of business enterprises, there is urgent need for concentration on an important program if we are to properly take care of the young men and women we are bringing into the world and educating for useful service. This need is more pressing than any problem before the Negro Negro today," said the speaker. TEA ROOM GIRL CASE DELAYED WASHINGTON. — Argument of the motion for a new trial of the Fitzhugh-Curtis case, which was calendared for last Friday before Justice Frederick L.

Relatives Haiti Has Welcomed Many Negroes as U.S. Ministers Bishop John Hurst Refutes Notion that Black Republic has Ever Drawn the Color Line. Frederick Douglass Case Recalled; Insulted by State Department. Great Marylander Named Commissioner by Haiti. Bassett Given $18,000 Post for Twelve Years. Island's Troubles Began When President Wilson Named a White Louisianian as American Minister. AS AMERICAN MINISTER Bishop Hurst, aroused by the Hoover statement that Haiti does not want a Negro commissioner, shows in this article that American Negroes served as ambassadors to Haiti for years, and demanded that Wilson and administration, no one ever heard of complaint. By JOHN HURST Bishop A.M.E. Church South Carolina Area. The first American minister accredited at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, was Ebenezer D. Bassett. He was appointed by President Grand Bas. He was born in Bacul, cuneum. He lived in New Haven, Connecticut, and it is said that he was a graduate from Yale College. He occupied the delightful villa of General Vil Lubin, a relative of Emperor Souliouque. From the time of Bassett's occupancy, to the time he left, he turned to the venerable fair-land. It was the center of attraction around Port-au-Prince. John M. Langston. Bassett was followed by that intrepid, eloquent Virginian, John Mercer Langston. He was a noble man and dean of law at Howard University. It is said that for a brief period he was president of that institution. Madame Langston was a woman of charms, of brilliance, of intellect and her art of savoir-faire gave her the lead among the German, French, English, and other women of the diplomatic corps at Port-au-Prince. Langston's chief achievement was the he conducted and settled the Pelleterie aazaz aazaz in Kauai. Secretary Mr. Freelhusgen, Secretary of State, acknowledged him as a capable diplomatic officer. Cleveland's Changes. When Grover Cleveland became President, he wanted to change the way the colored men had been chosen for diplomatic service and he said that he would appoint suitable colored men to white countries and appoint white men to Negro countries where Negroes had been accustomed to be sent. He appointed C. H. J. Taylor, of Georgia to Bolivia, and H. C. Astwood, consul to Calais, France. Then he appointed a white man by the name of Davis, of some small town in Virginia, minister to Haiti. The Senate kicked against Cleveland's policy and refused to confirm Taylor, and the governor of Dades for the District and Astwood was sent to one of the islands. White Man a Misfit. Mr. Davis reported at Port-au-Prince and was received with all the courtesies due his rank. He was rather an uncomely looking man, careless in his dress and did not seem to fit. Mr. Brutus Saint Victor, Secretary of the State for Haiti, directed Mr. Stephen Preston, minister of Haiti in Washington, to intimate to Mr. Thomas F. Bayard, U.S. Secretary of State, that it would please Haiti very much if another appointment could be made. Whereupon the President immediately made choice, through recommendation of Father McClain, a Catholic priest of New York, of Dr. John E. W. Thompson of that city. John Thompson. Dr. Thompson was a physician and a graduate of Yale College. The particular work to the credit of his administration is the settlement of the case of Otto Metzger vs. the Steamship American Republic, caught carrying contraband of war material. He was followed by Camden Anderson. Powell had been a teacher and teacher and pharmacist. His appointment was made by President McKinley upon the recommendation of Vice-President Hobart. Frederick Douglass Insulted. There came after him the great man, Frederick Douglass. Hatt never rejoiced in the face of any foreigner as she did at the coming of Douglass. To him was entrusted the scheme on which the Sultanate was forced to the United States for a naval station. Mr. Douglas put his whole soul into that matter and worked it out with skill, but Mr. Blaine became impatient and had to dissuade Admiral Gherardi to supersede Mr. Douglas in negotiations. It is said that Mr. Blaine got provoked at the dispense of the man, who most wonderful man that Haiti ever had at the head of its foreign affairs—Mr. Antenor Filimin—and Mr. Douglas, who would not be played with by any man, must be insulted, insured his reservation at once to Mr. Blaine and came home. Haiti Angered by U.S. John S. Durham, who was consul-general of the United States in Santo Domingo, was ordered to leave the country. Durham had been city editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin, was an alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania, and a man well known as would imagine, in weight, public affairs. He and I were great friends, and he admitted to me that that man he had been placed, by being compelled to follow Mr. Douglas; because at the break of the negotiations he was very good towards the United States. Furniss Popular. Dr. H. W. Furniss of Indianapolis became, after Mr. Durham, minister in Haiti. He was a many sided man, well educated and a man, well-armed, and well-communicating. He was sure of his step everywhere he laid his foot. When I visited Haiti in 1909, no man was more popular among us than he, being taken up first with his duties as an American representative. I found him letting out suggestions here and there, to be helpful to Haitian authorities. Until this time, all ministers to Haiti following the Civil War. were DRIVEN FROM HOME WIFE GETS DIVORCE Judge Ulman Awards Decree to Mrs. Mary Kelly on Cruelty Charges. MAN WINS FREEDOM Elmore Blackwell Wins Suit Against Mate. After declaring that she was driven from her home by her husband, Wilis J. O. Kelly, Mrs. Mary L. Kelly, 556 W. Lanvale Street, was given an absolute divorce by Judge Ulman in Circuit Court, Monday. In her testimony before Examiner A. DeRussey Sappington, Mrs. Kelly married December 23, 1917 in New York City, by the Rev. G. W. Brown at Mother Zion Church. On June 17, 1925 his conduct was such that she was forced to find another domicile. He was so cruel. Mrs. Kelly declared, that he drove her from the house, after which he dared her to enter the place. Kelly said that she stood his abuse and treatment as long as she could, and that during the whole time they were together he never bought a thing for her. I don't know what he did with his money," There are no children. Kelly is said to be residing at Raleigh, N.C. Witnesses, friends of the couple, corroborated the wife's charges of cruelty. Roy S. Bond represented Mrs. Kelly.

Tuesday. Testifying before Examiner Mason O. Morfitt, Blackwell stated that on December 28, 1921, he was married at Lawrenceville, Va. by the Rev. J. Parker. Without any known realization, he she abandoned their home, September 16, 1924, taking their child, Marion, a two. Mrs. Blackwell is reported living in Lawrenceville, Va. colored man, except Mr. Davis, appointed by Cleveland. Wilson Started Trouble. When Mr. Wilson became President, it was the first time we heard that a Nero appointee as minister would be persona non grata to the Haitian government. It was after Bishop Walters. It was after other Nero Democrats endeavored to Nero to appoint a colored man as minister to Haiti. Mr. Wilson appointed a white man—Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana, to be minister to Haiti and had Congress raise the salary from $6,000. Mr. Blanchard was received the same as his predecessors, though I heard often that his French was rather cracked. **Took Capitol to Night.** Blanchard had hardly been installed in his office when the intrigues leading to the military occupation of White traders who had begun to come in towards the close of Dr. Furniss's incumbency, were coming in goodly numbers and before two years, he had joined the marines at Blozon (three miles south of Port-au-Prince), in the night, and before day-break had captured the city. I need not enter into what followed, except to say that he was by military force, of entire island, they began to size up those officers of the marine service who had distinguished themselves in the military invasion, to find someone to be in entire control It is said that Sanguinary Smedley D. Butler would have been chosen had it not been that behind him were streams of admiration from the hundreds of innocent Haitian men, women and children massacred by him under the guise that he was yet to pacify that section of the country. Russell Ruler of Haiti. Shifting from one to another, they made choice in General Russell, Russell and made him United States High Commissioner, which means that he was there to carry out the orders of the Minister, that he was the Minister Plenipotentiary and that he was the ruler of Haiti. The whole Haitian government, in all its details, was turned over to him. Now when you today the Haitian government would not have a Negro on a commission for any purpose, it means that General Russell would not have such. It is the government but General Russell? Bassett Haitian Consul. In answer to this issue, we are of American contradiction to that falsehood that the Haitian government would not have a Negro as a member of the commission), Dr. J. C. first Negro minister to Haiti, after serving his term of eight years under President Grant, turned to America as a diplomat and appointed consul general of Haiti in New York, with an income of $18,000, including salary and fees and that he received a salary of $18,000. Does that show that the Haitian people will not tolerate the American Negro? Douglass Commissioner. May I also remind them that the Great Frederick Douglass, on his return to Washington, his home, because he had been insulted by the State Department; before he had been home two years was appointed by the Haitian government to the Haitian commissioner to the World's $10,000 against $8,000 paid as minister. Does that show that the Haitian government will not tolerate American Negroes?

WELLINGTON LABORATORIES, Inc. 1415 Philpot Street, Baltimore, Md. BY A MARYLAND RURAL SCHOOL TEACHER ANNAPOLIS. — After various talks on the evolution of the Negro, his achievements, his environment and education, on Friday last, we staged a revue of notables in realms of literature, music, art, science, business and of the "shows that pass in the night." We had race women from Mamie Smith to Maggie Walker, race men from Emma Feechit to A. K. Goe B. B. We had Narnia Burroughs and William Fickens representing speakers and writers of current events. Evanti in Paris pose looking directly at one of the Major Keys (to Baldage) whether she would or not. We had that wonderful combination of the best scholar — the president of Howard University We had Jennie Porter Barrett. Bishop Jones and Carl Diton of Harmon name, and our one available scientist. We had Sadie Tanner Alexander and other lawyers, more or less famous as Perry Howard: Dr. Carson of the hustling West. We had George Cook; and so sorry that K. M. was not available. The writer happens to know him and as he is a very modest man, we could forgive his non-appearance. Big Business — Beauty Shops We had representatives of Sie Business. Beauty Shops, and we had interpretive dancers, "tape" blue singers, the chorus girls and interpretive dancers and you must admit that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like "one of these." AFRO Illustrations We had groups of fraternities and sororities halling from Baltimore to California. We had convention representatives of the Negro History Study Club. This galaxy seemed to enlighten and inspire our little rural group You may wonder how on earth we arranged such an ensemble in a section almost off to the rear track of the main thoughtfares. Here's how! By means of the illusions in the AFRO-AMERI-GAN. President Borno We found also President and Mrs. Borno of Haiti and their palace. The idea of a colored President a palace and a salary sounded like a fair tale. All of the above mentioned and many more were on our posters, in newspapers, in sports, games, prize-winners and others to show our youth the possibilities of the colored boy of today. Visualization would not have been possible without the help of the AFFO — that loose leaf encyclopedia of the people, for the people and by the people of our own race values.

WAR DEPARTM'NT PLANS J.-C. FOR WAR MOTHERS Separate Trips Abroad for 900 Colored Widows and Mothers. PROTEST FILED Ridicule Last Boat for Front Liner's Relatives. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Negro soldiers who lie sleeping in French cemet. lies may have died in the front lines, but the Gold Star mothers and widows who visit them are expected to come over on the "last boat." This is the ruling of the War Department, which in its pilgrimage regulations issued January 18, has inserted the following paragraph: "Invitations to mothers and widows of the Negro race shall be extended for such time as will permit the organization of separate groups of such mothers and widows." When the pilgrimages were planned (the first one will start sometime in May) officers of the War Department went over the question of how to handle the soldiers and widows of colored soldiers, 800 of whom are eligible to make the trip along with 10,500 whites. The department decided that since some of the Gold Star white mothers will come from Southern states, the department would organize separate groups, use different ships, send the white-Gold Star mothers and widows over first and the Negro mothers and widows over on the last boat. The pilgrimages, although they begin this year, will continue the summer appropriated funds for the tours which will permit the mothers and widows of American soldiers who died overseas to visit their graves. Each of the pilgrimages will be for two weeks. The government will pay all expenses. Despite protests filed with the War Department, Major General F. Z. F. G. B. C. who is in charge of the pligrimages, has not yet changed the order.

Colored with 99 Per Cent White Blood, is Colored Still. RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—The Montague substitute racial integrity bill which defines as "colored" all persons having an "ascertainable" degree of Negro blood, with exceptions as to the Pamunkey and Mattaponi Indians, was passed by the Virginia State Senate Thursday afternoon by a unanimous vote. Society Negro History Week Zeta Chapter Omega Psi Phi Fraternity at Virginia Union University, in conjunction with Urban League Recreation Association, celebrated Negro History Week, with a brilliant pageant, at Armstrong High School on Friday in seven scenes, which portrayed the life of the Negro in the jungles of Africa to the rise of the New Negro. The first scene detected the Negro amid the Civil War Court, the queen The Ball racial integrity bill which makes no exception as to Indians had already passed the House by a vote of 76 to 9. It is regarded as a foregone conclusion that the House will agree to the clause in the Senate bill which was amended in common with exclude Pamunkey. Mattapo Indian from among classed as "colored" as they are domiciled for the reservations, provided they have one-fourth Indian blood and less than one-sixteenth Negro blood and who agree to marry only with others of the same racial and tribal classification. "White" Children of Mixed Blood The bill is designed to prevent "white" children of mixed blood from attending white schools, and with its passage this objective is assured. The school will now be legally required to maintain the color of public schools. Under existing law, they are permitted to enroll in white schools children of mixible blood, provided the Negro admixture is less than one-sixteenth. A graphic picture was drawn of the mixed schools in which children with undiscriminate traces of Negro blood studied and played side by side others unaware of any difference. Once legislators had made their decision, the measure melted away, and the measure passed by a vote of 35 to 0. No Conference Both bodies rejected the suggestion that the matter be turned over to a commission, on the grounds that these undesirable "mixed" schools could easily spread throughout the State before the commission reported upon its investigations. It no longer is the recent Caucasian bioterrorism that make a white man, in Virginia, but one drop of Negro blood makes a "colored person."

Virginia Society Negro History Week Zeta Chapter Omega Pal Fraternity, at Virginia Union University, in conjunction with Young Women's Christian Association, celebrated Negro History Week with a brilliant magee, Jasmina F. February. The pagent was depicted in seven scenes, which portrayed the Negro life in the past to the rise of the New Nation. The first scene depicted the Negro amu- sler of a slave, and the second, the maid, with picturesque color effects. During this scene, an exhibition of Egyptian dance was given by Miss Jean The next scene portrayed the Negro in the fungles, dancing to the music of tommot, painted in colors and decorated by feathers, sprawling lazily under the jungles sun. Then the trader came and lured the slaves away by a drink of fire-water. Then the scene shifted to America. The slave was auctioned off at Jamestown and bought by colonists. The following shows plantation life with its joy, hilarity, and singing. Negro spirituality. Then the serpent side of slave life was shown: the young Negro chafing under the chains of servitude, longing for liberty and freedom, gathered up their scouty belongings and stole away in the stillness of the night. Then the news of freedom, which brought happiness to the souls of the young, since Next the stormy days of reconstruction. Politics were served over again. Negro states were engaged in affairs of State. It was clearly shown how this muddle of Neగా politics linger with us today in disfranchisement of Negroes in the South. Next was the transition period. The clash of opinion of the philosophy of racial adjustment, as held by Zooker T. Washington and W. E. B. L. Solis, were clearly presented. After much discussion between the skilled technicians and professional graduates, the decision that both forms of education is needed for the Negro was reached. The final scene was the climax. The old Negro chained by old religion, old science, old art and ignorance is released by new religion, new science, new art, and education. He throws off the shackles, and with arm suplified to heaven and eyes facing the east, cries forth in thunderous tones. "I am the New Negro."

La Jac Beauty now the only in my w Excursion to Richmond, Va.,Tickles Harlem Trip Down is Bedlam, But If Lindy Knew! Trip Back is a Peace Conference. Finding a Seat is a Racket. Passengers Wear Everything From Bungalow Aprons to Evening Gowns. NEW YORK—(By A. E. White ANF.)—A typical excursion was run South from New York to Richmond Virginia, recently. Saturday night, a motley gathering assembled in the mighty concourse of the station-old, young, able, decrept, gay, sad, drunk, sober, white, homeless, return home for the sake of old times. Fully half an hour before train time, the gates are opened and the gate is closed through the gate. But this is not done orderly manner. Not at all. Gone is the decorum which should mark such a gathering, and in its stead, is a gate that is closed and striving to pile through the gate at once. Tickets are held aloft, at the gate-keeper; tickets are held in the mouth for inspection and so on. The gate is closed in anxious ones file through the portals to the train of promise. Mothers with hordes of children like hens with their broods swarm busily, glaring around to scare off, would crush the eggs, eager, all of them eager to get on the train. Finding a seat is a perplexing problem, but to those individuals who rehearsed it, finding out how to live in that land of high cents, poor food and what not. It is a sort of racket, this finding seats business. Somehow, we managed to find a seat. And what a difference it made, three-two women and a boy of five years. Behind us were three women, jabbering away about trifles. All through the car were women, traveling alone in many instances, fired at by the desire to see old Virginia once more. What They Wore Clothed in every conceivable form of raiment, they are a sight. Some are wearing, bungalow aprons, some are wearing, bungalow shoes, some are wearing of the fashion book, others are bordering on the obsolete in their raiment, but what matters what they wear? Some are fresh from the hair of the man, some are glistening in the brilliant light. Others need to go to a hair dresser. Noisy Man Ejected It is finally train time, but before the doors are closed, a noisy white man is ejected for preaching the equality of races. His oration is punctual, his sweeps of the arm, dangerous to those sitting nearby. He is fired with water fire. He continues to speak until a "spatter," noticing his condition. He is then on his end of his trip to Dixie, much to the relief of the other passengers. As the train rolls on, the hilarity picks up. The increasing speed of the train adds momentum to the spirits of the travelers. Drunks are the ones who travel is being relieved with what Mr. Volstead ruled out. Men, women, one and all, are the same. A grand parade begins. Through the cars they jump, and out of one another. A regular procession. Many, I know, walked the entire nine hours it takes to make the trip. And why they walked, they alone knew. Well Drunk Manhattan transfer finds those who wish to get drunk, well on the road to that hapny stage. Nearwak reached, finds them hilarious, and when they reach Philadelphia, they are oblivious. The lady behind me wants to take her new shoes off and put on some old ones more comfortable. She drags a big bag down, places it across her lap, and tries to change shoes with the bag on her lap. She manages pretty well and gets the bag back in the rack, on the side of the coach. Across the way, the proud mother is showing her little son's work in school, and she looks very much—she wants to find out who has some gin. She eventually does and then stages a performance. The lady behind us knows my seat mate. He introduces her, induces her to join our party and she comes over, to sit for a while. It doesn't take her long, but she pours her troubles in our sympathetic ears. She is a cynic at twenty. Her first love affair went wrong and she was left alone, one else while she is eating out her heart for him! The whole world is m ly LABORATORIES P.O. Box 2026 n. Dept.

Little Sleep Sleep began to creep on me and taunt me—how could one sleep with such a traveling crew? I was a squirm, some woke me up with a start each time I dosed off. There wasn't much sleeping in the train. The crew seemed along the shimmering steel tracks on that cold wintry night. The further South we got, the colder it seemed on that train. Still the train was cold, but if I got drunk I'd be better off, but that was merely a supposition. A stop at Doswell for a passenger. Women mans aboard to evince signs of life. A bustle and stir in the cars as the process of tidying up began. Women busy arranging their clothes and shaking aboveky, my former friend again changing her shoes to more comfortable brogans and what not. At Rickmond Richmond is sighted and eager eyes gaze out of the sweaty windows, eager for familiar sights. Into the station and the exodus is on again. Milling and Milling have hundreds who have come to meet friends. Streaming up the incline from the tracks are the hundreds who have made the all-night trip. The two stations and the two station and it is difficult to get through. But eventually, they melt away and the mild station is deserted. Humobiles are whizzing recklessly up and down the streets, taking their human cargoes to various destinations. And all is quiet on the James, temporarily at least. Waiting Room Activities are resumed an hour before train time going Northward. The colored section is in preponderance and the small jim-crow waiting room is taxed beyond its capacity. The train stops where some fifty or sixty whites are also waiting for the train. In the center of the long hall, leading to the trains, stands an old trusted employee of the railroad, a colored man, who separates the sheep from the goats, making no mistake. Clever fellow he Peace Conference If the train coming South was a bedlam, this one going back north would have been justly called a peace conference. Tired out with their pregrinations in the city, he turning seek comfort. Noise is taboo and a general quiet precludes the entire scene until some hold adventurous spirit sallies forth seeking joy. He usually returns to his seat, sadder and wiser for his experience, and it is chastened spirit. All the way back, there is little conversation—they are all too tired and then there is the bleak prospect of Monday—Blue Monday, going to work meetings, dodging collectors and the police, Harlem blots out the happy interlude and casts its funereal pall over the excursionists. But they are glad to set foot on Manhattan once again, and when the train rolls into the station around the corner, make the subway, home and sheets for a few winks till the murrow. SUPT. DEFENDS N.Y. SCHOOLS Dr. O'Shea Believes that Teachers Show Int' rest in Punils, no Matter What Their Race. Here are copies of two letters received from Dr. O'Shea superintendent of school he complains about in last week's AFRO-AMERICAN to the effect that public school teachers did not show proper interest in their colored charges. February 13, 1930. My dear Mr. Coles: I have carefully considered the various complaints you make in your letter of February 4, 1930, and have requested District Superintendent Nicholson and District Superintendent Owens to comment that concern the schools under their jurisdiction. When I receive reports from them I shall inform you of the results of their investigation. The results of further investigation. I am able to comment on some of the matters you mention in your letter. You state that the teachers in some of the schools you visited show no interest in their pupil belief that the statement is so. All of our teachers are carefully supervised by principals and district superintendents, and any teacher who needs help will be immediately reported. From reports received by me, I am convinced that our teachers do show an interest in their pupils, and that the same attention is given to our colored children as is given to our others. Baskin School. Baskin School. I cannot say whether there are any colored teachers in Public School 24, Manhattan. We keep in record our current teachers, who are classified according to race. I cannot tell how many colored teachers we have in our system, but I can say that our colored teachers, like all other teachers in our schools that are conveniently located. Concerning your remarks on the appointment of colored people as principals of schools, I beg to school principal of New York City are appointed from eligible lists that result from competitive examinations given by the Board of Examiners. Any one passing the examination will be given an appointment. I must call your attention to the fact that for many years one of our schools was supervised by a colored principal from a group of teachers long ago with the respect and good wishes of all who had been associated with him. WILLIAM J. O'SHEA. Superintendent of Schools. District Superintendents February 15, 1920. My dear Mr. Coles: In reply to your letter of February 13, 1930, I beg to state that your previous letter was fully completed and answered under date of February 13, 1930. In reply I stated that I would write you further when I received reports concerning your charge from the school board or of the schools you mention. If you do not care to wait until these reports have been received, I suggest that you make an appointment with both the School and District Superintendent Conroy.

To begin with, Morgan College on the Howard-Morgan backstreet garden, Wednesday, in the city's central subway, was the team that matters since the teams are friendly, next door neighbors? The spacious Rockland Palace, which was crowded to the very last hour with eager resorts, is the first of the city's served as one of the assets for the victory, to say nothing of the technique of the players, themselves. Morgan finally out-classed Howard after the first five minutes of the game. In fact, Morgan was too tight in every respect. The team was very much in the last time to be in a luxury Gray Line bus. And Lanky Jones and Pinky Clark, both outstanding stars on the team handled the ball right on down the side. While the major teams were getting up steam, the Harlem hospital Nurses were not many players to eliminate my game over the Defender Girls—it is to 6. The Howard Alumni and their host of followers, although beaten, were well satisfied with the results. And why not? All Howardites are genuine good sports, and ideas to the former hospital are the most important. Glancing through the crowd, I saw everyone that I knew. Practically all the professional men in Harlem were out, and their support was most gratifying. Al Brown, the Harlem weight champ, was very much in evidence. Since there are always pleasures to compensate any loss, Chris Huiswoud, a native of the genuine Dutch Haarlam, referred to the game as only he can, and John C. Smith, the capital of dance must put every in high-เกلى. The Howard-Morgan game is to be an one-on-one game. You must note note of it in our date book for next year. Bohemian Midpite. Clinton Moore was host to a very gay Bohemian mid-night show at the Lafayette last Tuesday. Members of the "Wake Up and Dream" and "Bitter Sweet" companies were presided over by Lillian Bagnall, Eulace Shreeves, Wilhelmina Adams, Blanche Dunn and Lady Nic. The party included Magnolia Green, of Chicago, Nina Mae McKinney, who was appearing that week at the Lafayette; Webb Richardson, Robert Drain, McCleary Blin-nette, Buddie Walker of the Village Nut Club, who was master of ceremonies; George McClain, of Blackbirds, Caska Bonds, Lloyd James, Arthur Morris, Jimmy Daniel of Dissonorable Lady; J. William Clifford, Vivian Baber, Coleman Willis, Macoo Pinkard, Louis Jones, Jack Carter, Alphonse Tribble, and dozens more whom I never met. We all arrived from various cocktail parties about twelve-thirty, had a movie made of our entrance and settled down for the performance which was no end of fun. Then Buddle Walker began calling celebrities who had been involved with the William (Bojnowski) Robinson, himself, Putney, Dick Wheaton, Vilma Baber and John Brown, who stunned for stunts. Even Al Brown made a speech. The entire party moved en masse to Clinton's campaign, where the hips began to wriggle and who in general was lost was obeyed until dawn. We stumbled upon a woman who was employed two, believing in the early bird theory, can always be found waiting patiently for the opportunity that occupies Clintons' second apartment. Clinton's Party When Remarks the here's Louis Sood's description of Clinton's party last week, for Helen Morgan, star of "Sweet Adeline." "Later, at the heavily-scented apartment of Clinton Moore... 'Hotshot' of Tallelujay' fame, warbies unexpurgated versions of warped 'Blues'. A slim, seplan succeeds her at the plano and delivers a ribald parody of 'Alice Blue Gown'... Helen Morgan, perched on the plano, fingering a cigarette, croons weepily... "Why was I born Why am I living? What am I giving? Why do I want a thing I don't hope for? ... Beautiful Vilma Fourice, in a corner, listens raptly... The small, low-ceilinged room becomes unbearingly stuffy as the smoke thickens and the tiny censer turns emit their reckingly sweet ribbons of perfume... "Hotshot' is back at the plano. "Dat Man in the Boat" ... We walk slowly down the rickety steps, holding carefully to the bannister... Half a dozen women stand clustered just inside the door. ... They're waiting for the employment bureau to open," explains Moore. Metropolitan The Metropolitan Social Club also select- s holiday midsummer and the Konstanzia- s annual festival. The Metropolitan Social crowd. The Metropolitan always has a bathroom. The Metropolitan always has a fervor which keeps Harlem from being dull. Saratoga-Zo Phang Wednesday was such a big night socially, for at the Saratoga Club the Zo Phang girls (Zo Phang) and the Delta Sigma Theta security was giving its benefit dance for the Utopia House. The girls, the E. P. Aka Aka, the Eugene Kankan Indiewesers, the E. P. Aka Roberts, the Chester Chimers, the F. P.

Dark Tower. From the Dark Tower, Rae Ollie, Bill Pickens, George Townsend and Jean Simon Williams. The crowd crowded that the door man was not so keen about, admitting them. But Rae and Jean walked in, and anyway, how could they know it was an awfully gay affair, very very lovely. The Zo Fong girls know how to stage anges. George was there—the George Wrights, the George Murrays, Vivian and Constance Willis, Hezel Thomas, Mary Thurber, Ruby Marion, Marion Bastice Walker, Dorothy Marshall, Horace Walker, Daniels and his g., Bob. G. Whittington, Leonard Warner, Malcolm Johnston, Wally Dawes, Nicholah Holloway Eid Hannen, Rupert Bury, Buddy Leaf, burgur, Burke Horse, Paul Johnston, Carl Johnston, John Yanece, Paul Whitaker, Arthur Boyer. The revus was wonderful. Iona Johnston. And that same night, the Norman Johnson who not alone is swell looking, but brilliant too, had as his guest at the St. John's Junior Prom at the Levchen Towers in the Heights, lovely Iona Johnson. What a pair and what an eyelid for the oats. Bob Douglas. Bob Douglas had a house warming for his new apartment last Thursday. The same building, but a few flights up. BEATRICE GRAY ROBINSON of Plymouth, Mass., spent from Wednesday to Sunday, with the charming Lena Dukes, formerly Bostock. Helen Curtis. HELEN CURTIS, more glorious and stunner, was the host of the stunton. Friday, she dispensed, had cocktails at ALELA Walker, and left that night for DEAN with whom she will visit for two weeks.

We couldn't keep her a single day longer. Even the promise of a cocktail party in the Zonkin Piffts, a supper dance, with the Chicago Club gang, with Rena Lewis as host, and the Primer Eailie at Dark Tower failed to hold her over Sunday. The Hamilton Lodge Costume Ball so exhausted her that she yawned to the Grand Central and prepared for twenty straight hours of sleep. And she needed that a month was a mad whirl of breakfast parties, lunches, matries, cocktail parties, dimers, theatre parties, dances, tete-a-tete and cabaret parties.

Music publishers reported millions had been lost in sheet music distribution because the 100 lyrics were invariably purchased by radio listeners who are bound to catch the tunes some night and thus learn the songs without buying the regular copies.

Admitting this for the sake of argument, we ask then, when is the Negro to become expert and interested internationally unless he is appointed on such commissions. W, Cameron Forbes, white chairman, has been governor of the Philippines, and Henry P. Pletcher, also white, an ambassador to Italy, and when they received initial appointments they were inexpert and without international experience, but they were given a chance because they are white. Those who read the ten telegrams from leading colorful Americans perhaps noted that Dr. Milton Jones defended the President's action. The nine others, Republicans as well as Democrats, felt that the President had made a mistake, at the very least. In fact, Bishop John Hurst hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that the U.S. occupation of Haiti is "financial exploitation" and that the commission's head, Mr. Forbes, is a Yankee banker, who has already done good work for the National City Bank of New York which has forced a loan on Haiti against it. We agree also the President Hoover has "afronted the entire race, and disagreeing again with Dr. Miller, the AFRO-AMERICAN believes that a half dozen qualified colored men could easily have been found Had President Hoover been so minded.

The Price Case PRICE—Who are those fellows writing over there? ATTORNEY—They are AFRO-AMERICAN reporters. PRICE—Tell them they want to be careful when they write about me. Thus joked Lorenzo Price, one-legged World War veteran in the courtroom last week while a jury, deliberating only four minutes, adjudged him guilty of murder in the first degree. The crime was characterized by State's Attorney Herbert O'Conor as "the most revolting, inexcusable, horrible, brazen and tragic ever reported in this case" by going a long way for a record that includes the Jack Hart murders and the crimes of Grace and Clarence Couthron. Manifestly Mr. O'Conor's exaggeration was designed only to impress the jury. The killing of Reuben Heyman, white, by Price can be described only by employing many of the adjectives Mr. O'Conor used, though not in the superintensive degree. His story of the crime, however, involves a partner in love and in crime—Mrs. Dorothy M. Burgess, white. Price said that Mrs. Burgess planned the tryst and that he bring a "gun." His account of her share in it is something that no jury can afford to dispose of in four minutes of deliberation. Despite the revelations of this part of Mrs. Burgess in the tryst and the killing, the fact remains that Price admits murder and should be punished, provided he was sane and provided the killing was deliberate. Concerning the sanity of the war veteran, there has been sufficient testimony given to warrant a proper investigation by medical experts in whom the public has confirmed of her husband's queer actions previously and a magistrate's court sent her husband to the House of Correction for six months instead of to a hospital for mental and nervous disorders. The courts of justice have made one mistake in the treatment of this ex-soldier and they should see to it that there shall not be another.

We Would Ask Heflin "Tom" Heflin (Dem., Ala.) wept in the Senate recently as he described the marriage of Mr. Philip Edwards, captain of New York University's track team, to a white girl. Said Tom: "Tom" Heflin (Dem., Ala.) wept in the Senate recently as he described the marriage of Mr. Philip Edwards, captain of New York University's track team, to a white girl. Said Tom: Shame on those in authority who will permit such a humiliation of a man with the power to marry in the United States? Where are the white men of self-respect, of race pride, and love of the white man's country in America whose brave forebearance has allowed him to be the person of the blood of the white race by premitting marriage between whites and Negroes? What has become of the brave knight and the white race who once boarded the Caucasian line in the war? The soldiers they guard on the dividing line between the Caucasian and the Negro race. The far-reaching harm and danger of marriage between whites and Negroes is the white race that God intended should rule the world is apparent to all intelligent students of history; such mixtures always have resulted in weakening, degrading and downing the superior to the level of the inferior race. God had a purpose in making four separate and distinct races, the white, the black. God intended that each of the four races should preserve its blood free from mixture with other races and preserve race integrity and proof of identity. God had in mind for each of them when he brought them into being. Well, if God intended to keep the races apart, he hasn't succeeded so well, because history is full of racial intermixing. If Tom spent as much time reading as he does in "argyting" there would be more respect for his intelligence. If he would consent to spend fifteen minutes a day in the Congressional Library next week, the AFRO would ask him then to give his opinion on the following: Did George Washington fly in the face of God when he had a colored sweetheart—Mary Gibbons? Did Thomas Jefferson go to hell because he had a colored child and was he followed by President Andrew Johnson who had three of them? Was Alexander Hamilton any the less the "greatest secretary of the Treasury," because he was the "bastard son of a Scotch pedlar," as John Adams put it, and a West Indian woman? If God's curse is on race mixing how about Domas, Pushkin and Colderidge-Taylor? What of "millions of -mixed bloods in Southern America, which the Saracens swarmed? How about Egypt, because Arabia?" Is South Africa damned because English and Boers mated with native Africans? Or South America, because Indians, Spaniards and Negroes live without a color bar? Who created the 3,000,000 mulattoes in the United States? If God was not acting through the white man, was it the devil acting? What Frederick Douglass said of Abraham Lincoln, the colored people may repeat concerning George Washington, whose birthday is celebrated February 22; namely, "He was neither our man nor our model." True, the founder of our country was the commander-in-chief who led the patriots to victory and independence; modest in victory, not an implacable hater, he led the way to prosperity in peace with the same energy and common sense that he displayed in war. There was only one Washington, yet on the great questions of slavery and slave trading, Washington's views were those of the average man, his time whose conscience was not troubled. Like Lincoln, who could boast that he had never addressed a gathering of Negroes; like Lincoln, who was willing to sacrifice any principle for peace and union, Washington had an eye single to the building of a republic. He had no other great passion. Liberty, fraternity and equality were for that part of humanity whose skins were of one color—white. Only their personality was sacred. His own happiness mattered. Only their souls were slaves, not men—they were property. For them no fires of freedom burned; no sacrificial blood was shed. What a different land these United States might be had Washington joined his voice with that of Thomas Paine on the side of the emancipation of slaves.

What a different land these United States might be had Washington joined his voice with that of Thomas Paine on the side of the emancipation of slaves. What a different Constitution and charter of liberty that great document might have been had it contained the clause proposed by Jefferson restricting the slave trade, and setting the seal of disapproval of the founders of the nation upon slavery itself. The purpose of this editorial is to discover not what kind of man George Washington might have been, but what kind of man he was. From the record as published in his own diaries, and as contained in the writings of his contemporaries, the evidence plainly shows that beside the figure Washington, the great Virginia, we must place that of Washington, the slave holder. Beside that of Washington, the great general, we place that of Washington, the slave driver—the explorer of the unpaid labor of other men and women.

Beside that of Washington, the great general, we place that of Washington, the slave driver—the exploiter of the unpaid labor of the slave owners. At the base of the status of the nation's first President, we must write these words: "He bought and sold slaves. He enjoyed the usurrect of slavery—the sum of all villainies." A young English officer writing home concerning the Virginia of Washington's time, had this to say: "What is excessively disagreeable here is that the wealth of the country consists in slaves, so that all one eats rises out of driving and whipping these poor wretches. This kind of authority corrupts the minds of the masters and makes them so overbearing that they are the most treasured members of the city." "Their only-tolerable drink is rum punch, which they swill; morning, noon and night." In 1786, the first President of the United States and the founder of his country wrote in his diary—"Took a list today of all my Negroes, which are as follow: Home House-val dechambe 1, waiters 2, cooks 2, stablers and drivers 3, almost past service 3, seamstresses 3, housemaids 2, washers 2, spinners 4, laborers 7, stockkeepers 2, gardener 1, carpenters 4, smiths 2, knitters 1, total 46 grown." There followed a list also of 26 children under 14 and 4 mill-hands, all at the "home house." The diary records the same kind of listing at the four Washington plantations. Each slave was put down by name and occupation. Women outnumbered men, nearly 9 to 1. The age of each child was carefully set down as it was important for the master to know when his slaves had become old enough to breed or to do adult's work. For the grand total, President Washington listed 216 slaves, a few of these were white.

The diary records the same kind of listing at the four Washington plantations. Each slave was put down by name and occupation. Women outnumbered men as farm laborers nearly 2 to 1. The age of each child was carefully set down, as it was important for the master to know when his slaves had become old enough to bred or to do adult's work. For the grand total, President Washington listed 216 slaves, a few of these were white. In the same way, Washington also made inventory of his 130 horses, listing them by name and plantation, 336 cattle and 283 sheep. To him slaves were merely property, like his cattle; only a little more valuable. In his diary in 1770 Washington had recorded—"Went over to sale and purchased two Negroes"; and in 1768—"Went to Alexandria and bought a bricklayer." . . . . . Discussing Washington's treatment of his slaves an English visitor reported: "He was up betimes and about his plantations. He drove his slaves hard. It was the sense of all his neighbors that he treated them with more severity than any other man. "He regularly delivered weekly to every working Negro two or three pounds of pork, some salt herrings, badly cured, and a small portion of Indian corn." He quoted Washington as saying: "A man unused to them and who is of humane disposition is unfit to employ Negroes. I had rather do the work myself than have continually to force others to do it. Wasted in laws, the Custies, thus expressed the slave code of that day. "Slaves should be comfortably lodged, fed, clothed, required to do a full and fair share of work. They should be cared for in sickness and old age, kept in strict and proper discipline. These we humbly conceive, comprise all the charities of slavery."

They should be cared for in sickness and age. They should strict and proper discipline. These we humbly conceive, comprise all the charities of slavery." Intractable slaves, Washington sold—not "down the river," which was bad enough, and dreaded by all, but to the West Indies—"the hell below hell for all slaves." The "father of his country" sent one Negro out on a trading ship with instructions to "clean him up and trade him off for rum and sweetmeats."

The "father of his country" sent one Negro out on a trading ship with instructions to "clean him and trade him off for rum and sweet-meats." Where was the first President's conscience; had he no religious scruples? On this phase of the matter Mr. Rupert Hughes records: "His wife furnished religion for the family, said the prayers and read the Scriptures. His own great Bible looked as if it had never been read." Eventually the emancipation movement, which had been fostered by Thomas Jefferson, of Washington's own state, and others, spread throughout the thirteenth original states and Washington the slave driver grew ashamed of his crimes. Even though tobacco raised grew less profitable on his plantations, he gave his slaves a "His wife furnished religion for the family, said the prayers and read the Scriptures. His own great Bible looked as if it had never been read."

Day by Day In 1790 Warren Mifflin, a Quaker, called at the "White House" to speak for a resolution then Congress to emancipate the slaves. before Conger. In his diary, President Washington said that Mifflin discussed the "immorality, injustice and impolice of slavery, and argued for gradual abolition. He declined to express an opinion," said "the father of our country," giving as a reason that the matter might come before him in an official way later. This was Washington the politician, whose humanity suffered by comparison with that of his contemporary, Thomas Paine, Revolutionary pamphleteer, who "took a crack at slaves wherever it raised its head." Said Paine: "Slaves is economic stupidity since revenue is raised on consumption, and squad of slaves consumes less than one whif man. It is always fortunate when the interests of government and that of humanity act united. But above all, I defend the cause of humanity. This was Washington the politician, whose humanity suffered by comparison with that of his contemporary, Thomas Paine, Revolutionary pamphleteer, who "took a crack at slavery wherever it raised its head." Said Paine: "Slain the economic stupidity, since revenue is raised on consumption, and a soothe has consume less than one white man. It is always fortunate when the interest of government and that of humanity act unitedly. But above all, I defend the cause of humanity." At the age of 64, so the story runs, Washington, chasing a slave to administer a flogging, like a stream, caught cold and died twice later. He was the country's first, and probably its richest President (excepting Hoover). His estate was estimated at a half million dollar (a great fortune for those days) in acres, herds and SLAVES. "Light Horse" Harry Lee, in his eulogy of Washington before Congress after his death stated exactly the position of Washington in American history: "First in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen. But this can be the place of Washington's history assigned to him by only those who think in terms of health, and property, independence and war; for black men are still half-men, half-citizen, because the father of his country lacks humanity. And we do him no injustice when we write today, on the 198th anniversary of his birth, his expressed views as President on emancipation of the Negro slaves: "I decline to express an opinion." And underneath these words, expressing his tragic indifference, we repeat again the ringer challenge of Thomas Paine—that John the Baptist of Abolitionists— "But above all I defend the cause of humanity."

With the passing of such procedure, she disposition when we get together to lay particular emphasis on what ought not to be done, or allowed.

I will not venture the suggestion that a more helpful and constructive policy would be that which looks to affirmative rather than negative action? I mean simply this. In every organization amongst us, we church organizations — there should be a small group of thoughtful persons known as the Committee on Civic Relations. The affirmative group of such committees would be a two-fold nature, the first being to study the subject, and the study the subject.

BY WILLIAM N. JONES Watching the American Federation of Labor What shall we do about the American Federation of Labor? Charging that this organization pays hardly any attention to the organization of Negroes in the labor demands for unionization when it charters them into auxiliary and federal unions, so eminent an authority as Abram L. Harris, of the department of labor, in H. H. Davis University, writing in Labor Age, calls upon it to turn about face and open its unions to white and colored workers, instituted campaign to unionize the South to have any permanent effect. According to Mr. Harris, there are 1,300,000 Negroes employed in transportation, of which 45,000 are in manufacturing. Of these about 45,000 are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Therefore, the Negroes are 4.5 per cent organized, compared with those industries. Says Mr. Harris; The demand of Negro workers for organization, the article charges, was met by the American Federation of International unions while international unions continue to keep their doors closed to the black workers. Today twenty-six labor organizations affiliated with the A.F. of L., have discriminatory clauses against Negro workers. The "labor movement," which includes the job of going into these industries (iron and steel, meat packing, textiles, lumber and furniture and tobacco, where semi-skilled and unskilled workers, both black and white workers have manifested no desire for organization or because organization will take time and cost money, is doomed to pay the penalty of its timidity and inactivity. "It is the duty and opportunity of progress to coordinate action and the workers in these industries. A labor movement which hopes to be effective cannot ignore the position of Negro labor if for no other reason than that organized labor is Negro and white workers are equally organized." Two Billions Each Year for Groceries The extension of the activities of the Merchants' Association, under the guidance of Albon H. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, is looming as one of the most constructive pieces of work being done in the program. Basing its program upon the experience of a group of retail grocers in Montgomery, Ala., Mr. Holsey has been able to inspire and motivate the people of New York, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi and North Carolina, including 118 race-operated grocery concerns. The idea is simple. A group of grocery stores operating in any city form a co-operative alignment for the purpose of purchasing and selling their own cost economically. In this way they are not only able to compete with the big chain systems, but in fact become chain systems of independent dealers with the power to negotiate their sales in a manner which none of them individually could do. Plans are being made to organize similar movements this year in Chicago, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee. The whole system has been worked out by experts, and the methods of the consumer and the tying up with large wholesale establishments. Will Increase Job Opportunities Mr. Holsey estimates that the Negrro group in America spends $2,000,-000,000 yearly for groceries. It is a $1,000-a-day item of expense, as well as the most constant one. Considering the fact that the gross profit on retail grocery trade is around 20 per cent this means that the gross profit on retail groceries for someone, or enough income to provide 203,000 men and women with work at $2,000 per year each, can be $1,000,000. WE CAN COME TO THE PLACE THAT WE CAN CONDUCT GROCERY STORES TO SUPPLY JUST ONE HALF OF THE GROCERIES WE CAN GROW. GROCERIES OF GROCERIES MEN AND WOMEN TO WORK IN THIS FIELD ALONE. This is a vital part of the program which should interest not only groceries, but consumers, who are the workers of the groceries and women who just find employment now denied them in white concerns. Baltimore Not in the Movement Unfortunately, Baltimore is not included in Mr. Holzys's program this year; not because Mr. Holzys did not want them, but because we have no responsible business organization here progressive enough to accept the sponsoring of the proposition. The local Colored Business Men's Exchange, which is our only organization of business men, works under a distinct policy of refusing to co-operate with the national organization; its addition is so constructed that the more progressive business men can find no opportunity to work with that body. It is not about time that the local business men start a progressive movement in this direction? One of the most encouraging phases of the movement to better human relations in this country, according to the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, is the hold that the study of race relations is taking in colleges and among the younger generation who will make up the leadership of tomorrow. Touching on this part of the movement, it says: "Courses in race relations either that they occur in connection with the work of the social sciences, are given in a hundred colleges, and a large number of students are reached in this way. "A number of interracial forums are carried on, in which students of the two groups meet from time to time for mutual understanding. In Atlanta such a forum has been conducted for a number of years and enlist students from the two groups. Undergrants Georgia Tech, Morehouse, Spelman and McNeiss Scott Colleges and frequently 'visitors from other institutions.' We might suggest taking this matter a little further and instituting a campaign of interracial relations on the playgrounds where white and colored children can learn to play together without their mutual interests being damaged. Chips from the Quarry The Proofreader Talks. The apostrophe and the possessive case, continued. First, a correction. In last week's issue reference was made to the use of the possessive form to denote authorship and kind, and an example of each use was given; namely, "Euclid's geometry" and "the sun's rays." By error, the typesetter failed to put the apostrophe in "sun." The point is now reached where further discussion of the possessive form will involve plurals of nouns — common and proper. Before taking up plural possessives, let us review a little. It has been stated that the apostrophe has three uses in English: (1) to indicate the omission of one or more letters from a word, e.g., "won't"; (2) to denote the possessive case which is now under discussion, and to indicate the formation of the plural in certain cases. This third use has not been discussed The cases in which the apostrophe is properly used to assist in forming the plural are (His 5's are body made), lettuce (Dot your 1's and cross your 's), and groups of initials (The Y.M.C.A.'s are increasing in number). The important thing to remember is that the nouns by the use of the apostrophe, for example, "The Thomas' (family) were there." But the majority of the better authorities do not appear to use the use of the apostrophe, for example, "The Thomas' were there" (instead of "Thomases") is that so many "s" sounds are unpleasant. Yet no one seems to object. The use of the apostrophe to such plurals as "lenses", "nomires", "omnibus" and many other plurals with as many or even more "s" sounds at the end, including even "rinchoeroses", which word is as ugly as the animals it re- The fact is, the use of the apostrophe to form the plurals of proper nouns is an affection — or plain ignorance — to express readiness than in imitation or what is mistakenly supposed to be elegance.

Parents should not become indignant or "fussed" by the use of "intelligence tests" in schools, because the ratings the children get from the brain power by nature, Milton Fairchild (white), of the Character Education Institution, declared yesterday in a statement on the subject. The tests have no such scientific quality and, unfortunately, have not been named he continued. They should be called "mental characteristics tests." "It is well understood among professional educationalists that the 'intelligence tests' do not rate or measure native brain power," he asserted. "They help discover the child's needs and the teaching can be adjusted to the child's needs. A child having a slowly acting mind needs different teaching from one who absorbs quickly and appreciates all that is told him, but the slow thinker may need to learn to think with much more native brain power than the bright child with high verblage ability."-Washington Post.

There are large church buildings, Christian organizations and competent ministers, but man is no better now with a lot of spiritual machinery than he was a few years ago with a log church building and an ignorant pastor. With intellectual enlightenment man has yet much to gain spiritually as is attested by racial hatreds, the grinding of the masses by the classes, the wholesale forms of gambling and immorality and other wrongs now rampant.

By KELLY MILLER The long awaited Haitian Commission has been appointed. The new versal desire and expectation of the Negro race have been disappointed. The President has departed from the general policy of the government to govern the government. Frederick Douglass, Emmett J. Scoon and Charles S. Johnson have served on similar commissions. From one point of view, the Negro race was more highly honored by the appointment of Johnson than it would have been by racial recognition on the Haitian Commission. The Liberian Commission is an international body on which a American history is the sole representative of the United States as a negotiator representatives from other nations. Although it is difficult to remain calm and composed in the face of disappointment and chagrin, let us see, if we can view the case as it is in the President's mind. Mr. Hoover is not politically minded. His highest aim is to bring efficiency to the public service. While this end in view, he ignores political section and sex, and seeks to procure the very best man available for the position. His high standard is beyond the comprehension of the practical politician. The Haitian Commission is its personnel, ranks with the Naval Command, and sits at the Court of St. James, Forbes and the Court of Appeal, respectively chairmen, have practiced the same preliminary diplomatic experience as governors of the Philippine Islands. Ambassador Fleette more than balances Ambassador Morrow. Both have been ambassadors to Mexico; but Mr. Fleethe has the more extensive diplomatic career. William Allen White, is surpassed in grasp of public questions by the more intimate public questions other two members seem to be technical experts in Caribbean politics and the Latin policy. No Negro could be found of the eminence, with the same degree of international experience and expeness. President Hoover showed the appreciation of the importance of the issues involved by appointing a commission of such high calibre and quality. Southerner The issues involved in the Haitian situation are purely international and diplomatic. The Haitian people sustain no political, economic or social relations with the American Negro. The Haitians do, and of right ought to, demand the same treatment as would be accorded any other unfortunate nation in like predecement. Let it be carefully noted that no Southern man of known or pronounced racial attitude was chosen. It seemed to be the case that the Southern men to appoint Southern men to high station in Haiti on the score that the Southern knew best how to deal with the Negro. This conceit has lamentably broken down and in fact, lies at the basis of much of the mischief which must now be corrected. at Home The Haitians have imbibed the French rather than the Anglo-Saxon culture, and do not feel any inferiority complex on account of race. The Americans have stamped the Afro-American as a socially inclusive group, and the appraisement which their fellow countrymen impose upon them. They deem it an insult to send a diplomatic capacity a representative of a socially discredited level to which the Afro-American has been assigned. For this reason Santo Domingo long since repudiated Afro-American as an acceptable diplomatic representative, according to the Gallic mind, no man who is deemed unfit to function in his own government at home is fit to represent it abroad. Social Relationships By reason of the strained social relations between the races in this country, it is extremely doubtful whether the President's decision of white men would be willing to serve with a colored man, considering all of the social intimacies that the efficient functioning of this commission would require. The slightest semblance of social differentiation in the management of the commission would be disastrous to the success of its mission. Moton a Salve As a salve to soothe the wounds of Afro-America, the President designated Dr. Moton of Tuskegee, make an educational survey of its island with a view to encourage the advancement of the count along practical constructive lines, this happy stroke, he pauses a compliment to the race to which the Haitian race and at the same time wounding their sensitities by divorcing racial recognition from diplomatic circles. The Tuskegee idea which Dr. Minton imbibes and embodies represents the highest expression of education adaptation to the needs of unfortunate and retarded peoples. His findings will carry great weight with a political and philanthropic circles America who are in a position to render the needed aid. This nation also indicates Mr. Hoover's policy in dealing with Afro-America. He gives little or no demands to the political claims he demands to stands and willing to help him in a very practical way when a constructive program is present. the Polls This incident ought to serve bring the American Negro to a political sense. Our statement he no need to his wild assertions or loud demands. He counts as a negligible factor in the political section. Mr. Hoover is deaf to the Negro wants, but accords what he thinks he needs. He well fully well that there was no political representation. The Negro looks like both political parties when it comes to recognition his boasted claim for equal political consideration.

Mr. Dwelle contested that he had done nothing in violation of the law. He explained that he had just permitted two men to alight from his machine when the police were present. The magistrate declared there was wrong with his lights as charged by the cops. The magistrate told the Rev. Mr. Dwelle to pay the costs and forget the incident. "I'll not pay the costs," said the injurer. "Dollars and costs or five days in jail" snapped the jurist. "Very well, I will go to jail first," Later, the Rev.

PROTESTS K.K.K FLAGS IN SCHOOL Elkton Merchant Sends Letter to Cecil County School Officials. BOARD O.K.'D KLAN Granted Permission to Place Flags in Public Schools. ELKTON, Md—James H. Callous, local merchant, directed a letter to the superintendent of Gecll County schools, here, in which he declares that the colored schools of the county oppose acceptance of United States from members of the Ku Klux Klan. The letter was written following notice in the county newspapers that the county school board had granted the Ku Klux the privilege of placing flags in public schools wherever they see. Mr. Callous's letter says in part: "I will advise you in behalf of the colored people in Gecll County that we still do not understand the K.K.K. but surmise their purpose a political trick, and since Negroes, Jews and a few Caucasians stand, they should get every consideration, as they are compelled to support them. "Since the K.K.K. are avowed enemies to these races, why tolerate them to inject their doctrine and venom into our school system further as an affront to public schools of Cecil County have their flags already. When they need others, why not permit them to obtain them from the same source as before? "You will certainly do the colored children a kindness if you will supplement the position you so graciously gave with a proviso that the Klan is not to present a flag to any colored school in Cecil County. We want our colored children always to love and respect Old. under such circumstances I fear under such conditions they would be very indifferent." St. Louis Man Seeks Seat in Congress ST.

Simmons, the principal speaker. Columbo Simmons, in his address, counsel to praise the record Moore has made as a member of the Missouri Legislature, and urged his large audience to support Moore in his fight for the place, where, according to Simmons, he could serve as a lawmaker, could serve them better.

Washington Rhodes. $100,000,000 SPENT Slogan, "Trade with those Who Employ You." PHILADELPHIA BECINS—24 pt. PHILADELPHIA — A permanent committee composed of business, chief professional and lay leaders of this city was formed in the offices of the Philadelphia Tribune last Friday afternoon with more general employment of Negroes in public service corporations as its objectives. The purpose of the committee as a militant organization is to crusade for jobs. It was estimated by Wayne L. Hopkins, executive secretary of the Armstrong Association, that approximately $100,000,000 was owned of this city for absolute "creature necessities." "The only capital the Negroes have had has been represented in the labor of their hands," Mr. Hopkins said. "The Negro must use every means to get an opportunity for this capital to be continued." The buying power of the Negro masses was cited by the speaker as a cudgel which could be used to compel chain grocery store to employ a grocery organization, providing this buying power is properly concentrated. "Trade with those who employ you," is a suggested slogan. Mr. Hopkins also insisted that the community organizations are not asleep to the fact that Negroes are apathetic in insistence upon the employment of Negroes. Forrester Washington Talks A visitor at the meeting was Forrester Washington director of Atlantic Service. It was the opinion of Mr. Washington that if the Negroes throughout the country did not take the initiative in getting jobs they would soon be employed by the government, pose of the meeting and lauded the possibilities of the crusade for jobs for Negroes in this city being successful. It was reported that as a result of the Armstrong Association a Negro clerk had been given employment last Friday morning in an Atlantic and Pacific grocery store in West Philadelphia. The committee wah formed into a permanent organization, and is composed of E. Washington, J. K. Kearney, K. klingstetter and the treasurer; Orrin G.

DETROIT, Mich. (ANP) "Fifty per cent of the doctors in Washington and Detroit whose entire practice is colored, send their prescriptions to white druggists to be filled." This bomb was dropped by Dr. Aaron C. Toodles, local pharmacist, in the midst of the all-day Detroit Business Conference held at the YM.C.A. here Monday, at which time business men and women from all parts of the state were present. This explosion started things moving, and it brought about a serious disclosure and a serious charge. Dr. Toodles is a district officer of the National Negro Business League. He told delegates to the conference that there are several white druggists who furnish prescription blanks to physicians and pay them 25 per cent. prescriptions sent to their stores. He said that if the patient happens to live in close proximity to the drug store the patient is cautioned particularly to send the prescription to this specific store where he is sure the prescription will be properly filled and with fresh goods. He continued by saying that if the patient lives an great distance from the store, he must himself, his himself, his filled, and delivered to the home of his patient. In each instance, he said, the patient pays the additional 25 per cent more than the regular tariff of drugstores fees, this pays the physician his percentage and covers the delivery "From this sort of disloyalty both the patient and colored druggist suffer. The doctors when asked concerning this practice simply say that it is not worth it, and that they would do the same thing with the colored druggists if they would allow them. The druggists steadfastly refuse, lower the drug prices, refuse prescription, Mr. Toodles intimated, however, that the thing is beginning to act as a boomerang. "While it has taken a long time to get Negroes to have Negro thoroughly educated yet up to that point," he said. "they are beginning to lose faith again on the ground that if the Negro druggist is not competent doctor who comes from the same school is probably incompetent."

BRIDGETOWER The Great Negro Violinist For Him, Beethoven Composed the Famous Kreutzer Sonata but, Angered Over the Interest of His Sweetheart in the Violinist, Later Refused to Dedicate It to Him. GEORGE Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower was one of the most dazzlingly brilliant musicians of all time. Kings and princes, great composers and art lovers, social leaders and even his rivals, all alike fell under the charm of his playing. Admission prices that would be considered very high even in present day pugilism were paid to see him. He was the private musician and personal friend of King George the Fourth of England; Beethoven, the greatest composer the world has ever seen, wrote a sonata for him and used him as an accompanist, and Samuel Wesley, famous organist and hymn composer, wrote of him with most enthusiastic praise. When he drew his bow across his instrument, he so affected his hearers that he HEATRE 1329 Pennsylvania Avenue Telephone, Madison 3587 Hear The Best Talkies See The Best Vaudeville JAY 24th It Extraordinary!

MERIAL No. 7 ONE OF THE GREATEST PRODUCTIONS BEBE DANIELS JOHN BOLES The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 22, 1930 of the present, or any former day, The Covent, Room, Recesses and Gallery were thronged with the very best company and scores went away without being able to procure a hairing. "Those who had that happiness married with the astonishing seemed more a miracle than a man. The great violinist was born in Biala Poland in 1789 of an African father and a German, some say a Polish man, but the name known as "The African Prince" was himself of the most accomplished men of his day being an excellent musician and a linguist. Instant Success Most men have had to struggle long and hard to achieve fame. Not so with Bridgetower. With him it was instantaneous. He began his career in Paris when he was not yet ten years of age, and from the moment he took up his bow in public he became famous. To that concer, had come the musical elite of Paris, attracted by the story of this little colored pupil of Glorovichi, of whom the papers had been speaking. Bridgetower's execution exceeded all reports, and his audience went wild over him. The Mercury of France said: "A remarkable debit which has greatly interested the music lovers of Pairs, is that of the young Negro from the Colonies. Mr. Bridgetower. "Mr. Bridgetower has played several concertes with a clearness, ease, an execution, and even a sensibility, which it is very rare to find in one young (the is not yet ten). His sense of humor is so infectious, is one of the best responses that one can make to the philosophy of those who would deprive others of his color of the opportunity of distinguishing themselves in the arts." Conquers Paris Salon after salon in Paris now fought for the honor of hearing and entertaining him. His father became one of the most eagerly sought after persons in the French capital, while George won success after success. Plays for King George The two next went over to England, with Bridgetower's fame had preceded him. The first engagement was at Windsor Castle, where he had been "commanded" to play before King George the third, the royal princes, and the court. Again the young Negro genius scored a complete triumph. The Prince of Wales, a great music lover, was so delighted that he invited the Bridgetowers as his special guests, and took the lad under his protection. The prince had a private orchestra of his own, and Bridgetower wowed the lad. He gave many private recitals for the prince and his friends. He was often at court, and the close friendship between him and the Prince of Wales continued after even the latter became England's ruler. Friend of Prince of Wales Many who sought the Prince's favor used to approach him through Bridgetower. There is on record a letter from Dr. Crouch, the composer, to Bridgetower, which reads in part: "As I find that you are frequently in company with the Prince Regent could you do me the favor to mention my oratorio to His Royal Highness . . ." In the meantime, Bridgetower's triumph in public continued. At Bath, where he appeared a few months after his arrival in England the record price of five guineas a seat ($26) was paid. A guinea at that time, was worth about ten times its present value. The Bath Morning Post, December 8, 1799, said: "The young African prince, whose musical talents have been so much celebrated, had a more crowded and splendid concert on Sunday than has ever been known in this place. "There were up to 550 persons present and they were gratified by such skill on the violin as created general astonishment as well as pleasure. "When the violinist (victim) was enraptured and dislodged, and never heard such execution before, not even from his friend, La Motte, unable, from the exquisite playing of Master Bridgeetower, whose taste and execution on the violin is equal, perhaps superior to the best professors who was, he thought, much inferior to this wonderful boy. The father was in the gallery, and was so much affected by the applause bestowed on his son, that tears of pleasure and gratitude flowed in profusion. The profits were estimated at 200 guineas, many persons having given five guineas for each ticket." Acclaimed by Critics Another Bath paper, the Chronicle, said of another recital: sand of another "The amateurs of music in this city received on Saturday last at the New Rooms, the highest treat imag- of the present, or any former day. The Corent, Room, Recesses and Gallery were thronged with the very best company and scores went away without being able to procure a hearing. "Those who had that happiness were enraptured with the astonishing ability of this wonderful child for it but is ten years old. He is a matatto. The greatest attention and respect was paid by the nobility and gentry present to his elegant father, who is one of the most accomplished men in Europe, conversing with fluency and address in several languages." Idol of London Having made a conquest of the provinces Bridgetower returned to London. His first appearance was at the famous Drury Lane theatre. Seats were sold at a record price and thousands were turned away. The King, the Prince of Wales and hundreds of the nobility were present. This performance was another triumph. The Post Advertiser said: "He gave the utmost satisfaction in his performance" and the London Chronicle: "He performed with great taste and execution." The wcnderful Negro boy became the idol of the music-lovers of London. In interviews from the highest in the land, portraits on him and his father. At the Handel Concertos, held not long after, he was the centre of attraction. No composition, however intricate, seemed difficult for him. On May 23, 1805, when a great concert was given for him under the patronage of the Prince of Wales, he conducted the orchestra as one paper said, "with the coolness and the spirit of a Cramer to the astonishment of all." Cramer was the leading conductor of the period. Soulful Brown Eyes After studying under Attwell and Haydn, the famous composer, Bridgetgetwer went to Dresden to see his mother, taking with him letters or introduction from the Prince of Wales, to the highest musical circles. He was now approaching manhood and is described as being, of medium height, with dark complexion; dark brown curly hair; soulful, brown eyes, and a rather broad nose. Personal Admiration of Beethoven He took that centre of German culture by storm, and was introduced by Prince Lichnowsky to Beethoven. The great composer fell into raptures over him on the spot, and gave him a letter of introduction to Baron Alexander de Wexlar, a leader of Austrian society, in which he said of Bridge-tower: "You skillful virtuosus and master of his instrument. He plays his Concertos and Quartets excellently and I wish you could procure him some acquaintances. "I know that you, yourself, will thank me for having procured you this acquaintance." Beethoven jealous or him Beethoven thought so much of him that he composed a sonata for him, which later became the famous Kreutzer Sonata. The story goes that Beethoven had intended naming the great sonata for Bridgetower, but a young lady of wondrous Beethoven was very fond, showed too great an interest in the young violinist, which so angered Beethoven, that impulsively he scratched off Bridgetower's name, and substituted that of Rudolph Kreutzer of Paris, whom he had never seen. Such is the story told by Ries in his "Notizen." Bridgetower previously had scored a triumph in that piece. Beethoven had premised him to write it for one of his concerts, but the composer was so busy that he did not give it to Bridgetower until 4:30 the morning of the concert and then in a script to a greater or less degree illegible. Often Accompanied Beethoven The concert was to take place at 8. But Bridgetower was equal to the occasion, and his interpretation of the marvellous piece was so perfect, that Beethoven, carried away with delight, jumped to his feet, and embracing the young violinist, cried: "Noch einmal, mein leiber Bursch." (Once more, my dear fellow.) Later in Vienna he often accompanied Beethoven in public. In Vienna, the aristocracy turned out in force to see him and he became the idol of the Austrian capital. Among those present at his first concert were the Emperor of Austria THE NEW DUNBAR PLAYHOUSES AND PLAYFOLK Parties at Band Box To be a guest of honor at the Band Box is the last word in professional circles. Duke Gets Hot Duke Ellington and his boys still hold midnight sway over the ether. They supplied the best program of jazz over WABC last Friday midnight that we have heard in weeks. The Saratoga Orchestra 'ran them a mighty close second; though, with its 12.35 program over WMCA. Billy Hurst of the Rhythm Club staged a performers' party that was an added attraction at the Band Box Saturday night.

As soon as some Victor Record or Vitaphone scout drops in at Small's or one of the clubs where these boys do their new-style, tooting for a few times, we predict a hasty flourishing of solo contracts.

His successes continued for many years after this, and he remained in the service of his firm friend, King George the fourth, until the latter's death. Died in Poverty After the king's death, and due also to illness, caused by gall-stones, he retired from public life and died on February 29, 1860, in comparative poverty and obscurity. He was buried at Kensal Green cemetery, London. Unselfish Genius Like most geniuses, money had mattered nothing to him, and he spent it as easily as he earned it. Much of it went to adoring deserving musicians. Because of his close friendship with the King, he could have had a title, but this he refused. At no time was his influence with the King ever used in his own behalf, only for that of his friends. Samuel Wesley has paid him the following tribute: "George Bridgekown whom they usurped the African Prince is justly to be ranked with the first masters of the violin. He practised much with the celebrated Viotti, and imbibed largely of his bold and spirited style of execution. "It was a rich treat for the lover of the instrument to hear him perform the matchless and immortal solos of Bach, all of which he perfectly retained in memory and executed with the utmost precision and without a single error. Indeed whatever the composition, or whoever a to师, whose name he took to, he treated them in so perfect and masterly a manner as to yield entire and universal delight and satisfaction to every auditor." Was Composer Bridgetower also wrote several bits of music, two of which are to be found in the Pritish Museum. They are a "Diatonica Armonica for the Piano," and a Ballad, "You Call Me Fickle." His fame, however, rests on his marvellous skill with the violin.

ENCORES ARE MANY Spirituals are Included in Singer's Program. By DANIEL W. CHASE PHILADELPHIA. — Those who heard Abbie Mitchell, soprano, when she appeared in recital under the auspices of the Women's Board of Managers of Mercy Hospital and school, are all women. Are are of the opinion that age has done nothing to this gifted vocalist and actress, but added charm. Miss Mitchell gave four groups of songs, finding in each group ample opportunity for the display of her unusual ability. She won her audience over completely in the Bach's "Bleed and Break," which was followed by "Verrah" and "Am Sonnigt Morgan" (On Sunday Morning), by Brahms. She closed this group with "Die Lorelle" by Lizzt, which was striking with its beautiful sustained tone. Her second group of songs was well chosen, and equally well done. This group consisted of Respighil's "And If One Day He Might Return," and Brahms' "Parare's Invitation to the Journey," coming to her dramatic climax in Massenett's "Then Weep, Weep, Weep," last named may be said to be Miss Mitchells most pretentious offering. The third group was changed and Ms. Benton's name was Me So Dear," (Tschakowski); the Wounded Bird ("Gretchinnoff"; "Do Not Go. My Love" (Hageman); and Bantook's "Feast of the Lanters." The range found ample opportunity for expression here, and this group was greeted with tremendous applause which was responded to by a delightful encore, "A Southern Song" (music) Sings Spirituals Mitchell proved herself no less delightful in the rendition of her spirituals, which she rendered in one or two which do not always find themselves on the program of every artist. "Troubled in Mind" by Cook; "Hole On Onion" by City of Burlington; "Hall On Hall" by Burleigh's "Didn't It Rain?" brought down the house. "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Chick" was given as an encoRE. Mitchell received many floral pieces as tokens of the appreciation in which she is held by Philadelphia. Much was added to the rescaled by the much accompaniment of James Walker. PHILLY MIRROR BY ERNEST VARLACK Jasper Deeter in a letter to the desk states that he has secured a seat by Paul Green, author of "In the Army Bosom," called "Potter's Field." The play will employ an all-colored cast, and Deeter hopes to have it if he can. This spring, and believe it, or not, he hopes to bring Charles Gilpin back to the theatre in this play. Margaret Simms Out Margaret Simms Out Anna in Connies "Hot Chocolates," resigned from the cast Saturday night. This piece is now playing its last week in Philadelphia. Next week it goes to New York for a five-week stay. Jo at Royal Josephine Baker, theatrical idol of Paris, appeared at the Royal in the "Siren of the Night" on Monday the Tuesday and Wednesday. On Sunday midnight George Godfrey appeared in a silent film, "Sea Fury," which would make it appear as the star of the show, were coming back in vogue again. Bill and Adilee Bill Robinson and Adeladea Hall, former stars of Lew Leslie's "Black Beauty," were coming to the Pearl Theatre, Monday afternoon before a packed house. Miss Hail sang several ditties that met with popular approval and Bojangles did his famous step dance, and it is needless to say that the company assisted these popular artists in their work. In the opinion of this writer this week's bill is the finest that has ever been offered at this playhouse. Clara at Standard Clara Smith sang away back in the 1950s, the Standard audiennes Monday, when she opened in "Broadway Co." She was greatly assisted by Perry and Covan, dancers, and a quartet of singers. A. When Bubbles above, failed to appear in his act with Buck at the Lafayette Theatre. New York, last summer, a number of customers were sorry because the man's act. There number of rumors circulated concerning his absence, but the truth of the matter is that he was 'solen' gently on the head, hammer as a tool, speakey brawl during which he punched out the deater. However, later when he was about to enter a cab, his friend reciprocated with a mild tease to dominate the movie star to hospital. Singers Decline Freight Service ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Fifty boys and girls of Summer High School scheduled to sing over broadcasting station KMOX, last Tuesday, in the Mayfair Hotel, were forced to ride up on the freight elevator. The singers have two more engagements at the station. The teachers say they will be cancelled if the freight elevator is to be used. It'sNobody'sBusiness THEY will tell you that show business, just like a bathing beauty contest, is a matter of figures, and some of them, believe it or not, require the use of your Waterman or Duofold. Which brings to mind the scheme of a certain ofay producer of sepia shows to save himself a flock of dough. You may remember (and if you don't, it really doesn't matter), a lithe and rather comely young girl, who appeared at a local theatre a season or so ago, doing a scorching hula number. The lass went over big, and when she repeated her torso twisting in the Big City the aforementioned producer got a glimpse of her. It was only a matter of scribbling her name on a dotted line, and she was the featured hip waver at one of the biggest whopee parlors in Harlem. Which, in these days, means a little extra mazuma and the opportunity to meet People Who Do Things. And then came the producer's as long as his breath will allow. But Broadway production. Of course, you must be a merely astonishing stunt. The true 'Lindy hop' is, first of all, palace with her artistic shimmy, a fox trot. You start to fox trot and suddenly you lose your partner. You piece clicked and the little girl with the goats of S.A. knew that she was one of the big reasons. So when she finished pouting for extra smokers in her envelope on night night. Seventy-five bucks was not such a great amount of money for a Broadway star to draw for a week's travel, but he beat a $1,000 bucks loan and a hundred different ways. A nice run on the big street and the piece was ready to hit the provinces. The call of the road, meeting people, and maylaps a chance to show her wares before the People's House, set the dancer's booth a-fluor. But as our story (which should have been ended ages ago) draws to a close, we see our heroine left behind. Just a case of temperament, she was a dancer, the inside knew better, and anyone who knows anything about figures can tell you that giving a $35 a week chorus girl a ten-dollar salary boost to substitute, was better than carrying along a quarter hundred. A saving of 30 bucks, if your mathematics agrees with mine. After all, show business is a matter of figures. If You Don't Know! You'll see a number of them about town. Ragged, unkempt and nondescript gentlemen they are, with tap bags slung over their shoulders. With their bare hands they poke in the ash cans set out on the sidewalks and in the alleys. And their sensitive figures easily distinguis- h themselves from others, as long before the bag is filled. Probably your sympathy goes out as you visualize a home where there is not enough money to buy coal. You also visualize one of these individuals going home and making a fire with this collection of coal, so that a wife and several kiddies may keep warm from the wintry blasts. But you're wrong. In his house there is, no doubt, coal a plenty, because he has the money with which to buy it. There does he get, and there is no doubt, all the salvaged coal at so much per basket. It doesn't cost anything, so why shouldn't he profit? If Lindy Knew! Of course, you've seen it so much in Baltimore that you've probably become sick of it by now, but with it you've seen it in New York. It is a different matter. Yes, sir, the dancing of the Lindy hop has caused some of the Nordics to write columns upon columns about the threes of ecstasy over the terpsichorean achievement, said: "The Lindy hop itself is sometimes comparable to the flight of an airplane and the space and hop up and down the entire length of the gorgeous floor. Another couple will break into the exaggerated steps of the stage adagio off the floor of the room and swing her about just as high and her flaming A Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer PICTURE with thrilling SOUND Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday her flaming beauty won all hearts ..... SEE THE TWO Greatest Lovers ON THE SCREEN Garbo and Nagel The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 22, 1930 as long as his breath will allow. But these are merely astonishing stair steps. You can also afoot a fox trot. You start to fox trot and suddenly you lose your partner. You give him a bite and he are you. You have four measures. That is the average; although some keep on 'lindying' until they are tired. And 'lindying' is the trick of Hicks. "Lindying" was to have been a few little steps, alone, after the waist and fox-trotted some more. Now, after months of refinement and refinement, it has become the smooth surface of the floor like huge rain drops at the beginning of a summer shower. Or spins and twirls send water all over the floor. Or primitive rhythm surges up and at you until the drums knock you half a dozen feet from where you and you just you just yourself go and dance. Fetchit Out, Muse In Stepin Fetchit, who was engaged by Columbia Studios to play one of the most important roles in 'Lover Come Back', was given the air after two days of honoring 'and shocked Mone,' one of our most clever comedians. "Step," it seems, developed temperament, and desiite his relative "Step," it seems, developed, temperament, and despite his relative colony, he still has to learn that the man who "pays off" is the only one of few such a liability as "sometimesness." This same temperament has endowed him with a mania for speeding up and down the coast boulevards and Stepin Fetchit drawing successive reprimands from judges. The colored actor's chance in Hollywood will probably be killed by the slightest indiscretion of one or two fellows who become intoxicated by success in a comparatively small way. The action taken by the Columbia people in Fetchit's case is described as "tone sure for inflated sculls" but in the plain old Harlem lings, "big heads." T.O.B.A. DOIN'S "Shake Your Feet," Joe Carmouche and Cleo Mitchell's clever trick, is hitting this week at the Lincoln theatre, Louisville, Ky., according to reports from that town.

"Less is known about Balaam popularly," continues the preacher, "although his ideas are abroad in the world today. Are we to give the kind of preaching that God demands? Is the true minister of the gospel responsible for the messenger boy responsible only for his faithfulness in the delivery? God has His method of salvation and His method of judgment.

Anyway that is what happens when the members of the small Southern Negro grand opera troupe attempt to play it in an improvised stage built on the billboard pools of the defunct Alba and Omega Pool and Billard Parlor proves an obstruction to the smooth unmetal sound of the Deacon Simon Pure, however, is not to be defeated and adopts the motto "Get Results." even if the results aren't what he originally planned.

It was first evening, one of October's hazy, languid blue ones, and the slowly dying sun, like a huge red disc, hung low in the west, alchemizing, tinting, with a touch superb, each object in its light. It was supper time in Cedar Springs, a bustling little town in the neck of the valley, and from the four directions, hungry, tired makers of bread, could be seen trudging homeward. Each soon turned into his own little cottage, leaving the streets blurred and bare. Her voice faltered and "You know how hard it is to get away from the gang." Dr. Johnson, the young pastor of the little town's leading church, like the rest, turned into his yard, the parsonage yard, with a stride measured and slow. He too, was tired, for like the others, he too had known a rather hard day. He did not notice the super-sized white and salmon colored chrysanthemums which lined the sides of the long gravel walk, partially indistinct now, in the twilight; nor was he cognizant of the faint, yet sweet perfume of the fall violets. Once inside the little reception room, he flung himself histlessly upon the divan: A few smouldering coals, faint now, lay in a bed of white hickory ashes in the rather large fireplace. A vase of flowers stood on the long oak table. The parsonage was silent. No inviting odour came from the kitchen; no dishes rattled in the dining room. He walked to a front window, and looked out on Cedar Springs. Try Bayer Aspirin next time you've a headache, or other annoying pain. Note how quickly and completely your suffering from neuralgia, neuritis, or similar nagging pains subsides. And if it's genuine Aspirin, with the package and each tablet marked Bayer, it's safe.

He looked longingly at the shafts of light, streaming through the windows, which he knew to be the supper lights, and he yearned, with all the depth of his being to know a similar glory. The sultry waves of only twenty-four summers had he known yet tonight, he fell straggle old and forsaken, as he compared the temporary barrenness of the parsonage with the ruddy glow of happiness radiating from other homes nearby. What had he done that he should know the pans of his heart? He had been enough, he had elected to be one of God's linesmen, one of that host, whose feet do carry a gospel of peace, but surely this was no crime to be punished even by temporary loneliness. Indeed too, he had deceived himself, taken theology instead of medicine as they had wished, but even this, though it might have been a mistake, did not seem to him a crime. He had been in a measure too successful; he was living at least comfortably, was absorbed in the accomplishment of his work—and was married—his breast heaved as he thought of this—it was true—married to the girl of his choice. He was just about to leave the window when two blaring headlights broke the shadows on the parsonage lawn. The car stopped; only a second, then it was gone. He stepped—steps, and Edna, wife stepped—steps, and Edna, door. She did not see him as he THE FASHION WEEK stood in the shadows. Soon she made light. "Oh my, David, what are you doing here without light?" "Just dreaming Ed. I guess—I was going to make one though." There was a moment of silence, during which she avoided his eyes, a moment of that silence always manifests when two minds try to fathom each other. "I guess you hungry, too, she finally ventured, removing her things, "and I'll cook as soon as I can—er by way, Ralph Bauknight was over today, and he ran me, and I was happy. And Dave her voice faltered and fell "you know how hard is to get away from the gang—I didn't really mean to stay this long—but—you're not angry are you—" "He's quite all right, Ed. he cut in, and I will right, glad you enjoyed yourself." They are super sometime later, in a kind of silence, after which he went to his study and his thoughts, and she to her sewing: while outside, the new moon hung her crescent sign in the hazy east, inviting us to watch her whispered goodnight, to the trees. If. Ceda. "Springs was like any other small Southern town, and it was, it was most true to type in that other small Southern town, who criticised and judged the world. In this case as in many others, it was the town's only shoe store, and it was particularly crisp October morning, the super sandh饿in was in council: "There goes the preacher's wife, Jack," broke in one who was standing near the window, "you say that the preacher's wife has been named Jack, for soon, all were milling, like disgruntled cattle, near the one window, one even appears to be a Mother of Moss," explained one known as Jack, when they had finally become normal, "Man, she's prettier than the law allows—and you say she's a preacher's wife? help me, she's too pretty for that." "That's just what Ive always said, Jack," broke in the shoemaker, whose eyes were known by every child in the village better than the battle of Bunker Hill, "that's what Ive always said," he repeated. "She ain't made for no preacher Ive ever knew, but the way she walks that she wants to live." The council was judging wisely this morning, for Edna Johnson was pretty, and she, as much as the council would like, as she walked, as she walked, bareheaded down Maxwell Avenue this bright October morning. Conscious of the rather artistic contours of her lilie athletic body which made her clothes fit unusually well, of her super-Egyptian well, of her super-Egyptian well, of her night-like enchantment of her hair, and too, the unusually graceful carriage of her slimness. She was conscious of the fact too, that she wanted to wear him limo ride, play as she once had. It was true she had loved David, and still loved him, but each day it seemed, their ideas of life differed more widely. And each day her determinations of what to wear she termed narrow man-made conventions, leave the cloistered ways and live, became more pronounced. She loved David, yes, but their ideas of life were different. To him love and marriage meant sacrifice, sacrifice of the two concerned, for one great The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 22, 1930 object. To him, love was a minute counterpart of Him for whom he worked, and the work of the people, blending the came into the simple, blending of the one inseparable, the one in the one guiding their thoughts toward one end. But to her, love and marriage meant free-dom, freedom of thought, freedom of action, freedom to exercise one of the ideas were tempered, however, with good sense. She did not believe in the strict sense of the term, in a single standard, in that she did not think a woman capable of doing everything a proportionality, but she did want to live her own life. "I must tell him," she solitouized, "I must — I can't stand it." She found him in his study, a little room simple in its fixings, which was east of the bedroom. His chin rested in his hands, a shade was low over his eyes, and a book, which she knew to be a Bible, lay open before him on the little flat-top desk. Her nerve withered, she did not look at him. She could hurt him deliberately. She loved him. So she substituted: "Back Her voice faltered and fell. "You know hard it is to get away from the gang." Davie dear, now I'm going to begin dinner." "Oh so early?" he returned. "How could she hurt him, she wondered, how could she—why wouldn't he see things her way? The afternoon wore slowly away, capped by a beautiful sunset, and promising hours and hours of quietness and peace before the storm. So October's bright blue weather passed with the weeks, and November's surly blasts came on, bringing football games and turkeys. It was a warm day, and a dense fog hung over the little village, making the cottages appear weird and ghostlike. A ruddy fire burned in the fireplace of the parish church, red and yellow flames, dancing in glee, wave shadows on the pale orchid curtains drawn before the windows. Edna sat before her dressing table, combing her unaboved hair, unwrapped her wavies, massed, over her shoulders, and which stood out gravely against the satiny background of her negligee. David stood with his back to the fire, admiring the slim, graceful shoulders, and the ebon beauty of her hair. "My goodness, but you're lovely," he whispered, as he sat down on the bench beside her, "I. wonder why you ever manured me. I face, with a sort of careless, tired gesture, which thrilled him. His eyes were suffused with a tenderness which he had never seen there before. Because I loved you. David. because I loved you." she said.

Finally she disengaged herself to sit upright, her fingers the sush of his dress robe, "Can't you, David," she began, in a kind of pleading tone, "can't you see that love is tangible, something something to be lived?—oh its passion, youth, life, action, David." She finished with a fine demonstrative gesture which took her to her feet, whence she stood beamingly at David, she went on, again pushing the hair from her face. "I love you. I know I do, and in a way you love me too, but the trouble with us is that you have never been you deliberately jammed yourself up inside, by constructing cloistered ways in which to walk, by figuratively fencing yourself in from the world you're trying to conventions" he said of the barbed wires of conventions. He did not speak immediately, but rather gazed away toward the fireplace, where the half burnt logs tumbled together, causing a shower of sparks which spilled out of the fireplace he burned to his, his eyes plainly showing hurt: "You spoke wisely Edna," he began, lifting his brows and resuming his standing position before the fire, where he was, the red wires of conventions," he paused, and drew a deep breath, in which there seemed to be summed up a deal of pain, then he went on: "I was so scared that we are barbed—barbed and charged and bloody—so he careful."

The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly UTICA SINGERS SCORE IN BERLIN CONCERT Race Jubilee Group Roundly Applauded by Big German Audience. Group to Spend Month on Austrian Engagements. By LEWIS K. MCMILLAN BERLIN.-The Ulica Jabice Singers, appearing in concert at Beethoven Hall, made a big hit with the German music lovers. The hall was well filled with an audience of rather typical Berlin concert goers, many students and a host of music lovers. At least ten encores were given by the group given at the end of the program many in the audience remained, persistently calling for M. H. Cole audience of rather typical Berlin concert goers, many students and a team of music lovers. At least ten encorres were given by the group and at the end of the program, many in the audience reteamed with a central calling for more. Although most of the audience understood no English, they caught the spirit of the songs. I was especially interested to notice their reactions to "Deep River"—crowd-raising, hilarious," and solo rendered by one of the men, representing an old Negro who had lost everything in friends and possessions but his faithful old dog and his rugged old modern song." "What About Me,"—given as a solo, took with the PETER M. the proverbial "hot cakes." The group of singers consist of six. Besides two Cole and George E. Whittington, are taking their wives along on the tour. At time that Yi Hwang met the group. I was impressed with them. They are not loud, but they are good troop troops. They are a fine. natural, respectable set of young people. They do not pose as artists, and neither do they act the part of monkeys. I was really pleasantly surprised to find absent so much of the effect at making the audience laugh. There was some of it present, and any of it is too much. But, as I have said, the Utica Singers are 'a team respectable, that means also on the Liked at Hotel I went to see them at their hotel the Astoria, which is a decent middle class hotel with good service and appearance. The guests and the management were happy to have the assistance they needed. The group of singers is under the direction of M. H. Cole. Both Mr. Cole and George E. Whittington are accompanied on the tour by four wives, a brother or bride, and in March will be in Vienna Austria, where they have engagements that will last a month. 25 St. Mary's Schools in Singing Contest LEONARDTOWN, Md.-Thirty-five pupils representing twenty-five schools participated in the St. Marys County Recitation-Delaware Signature, contest held here, Wednesday.

CARDUI Helps Woman No Husband The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly Pat to Pansy Our First Lady of the Land, Honored Guest at Civic Luncheon. Ins and Outs Among Society Folks. Adelphians' Banquet this Thursday. Ascoes' Formal Friday. _____ Dear Pansy: Of course, the pre-Lenten rush has begun—everything that can be crammed into this month, up through the fourth of March, will be pushed to the end. We know that the elite of society is supposed to join the rather modest folk in sack cloth and ashes for forty days and forty nights, which generally turns into a celebration of resolutions made at the beginning of the New Year. However, we make an attempt toward the good road. Valentine parties were the drawing room for a number of delightful events last week, while this George Washington's birthday will be celebrated. Rather unfortunate for the school groups, that the holiday should fall on Saturday. But back to big things that have happened. Mrs. DePriest Honored. Well, I guess we can relax now; for all our intense curiosity for a holiday, we must be DePriest, our First Lady of the Land, has come to a cooling point. Really, Pansy, had the admission cards been five dollars, Booker T. Washington Junior High School Tafelman, and the Luncheon was held, would have accommodated the same three hundred and fifty or more guests. Simply to have the honor of saying—"We have actually seen the wife of Congressman Oscar DePriest. We would not have been a more beautiful and representative gathering, and Mrs. DePriest, my dear, was so becoming attired in the latest mode of blue chiffon velvet, with the pointed farfurrowed collar. We lace jabot of fashion and quality. She wore a nifty close fitting black cire satin with the brim shortened in front with lengths on the side, giving her a distinguished air; she wore a black cire satin. Her traveling coat was of the richest Northern cloth, with Russian fisch shawl collar; black soft kid gloves of the newest six-button model. She has a pleasing personality and a winning smile, covered with a seemed overwhelmed with the reception accorded her. The presentation of the flowers by the students of Civic League, seemed to bring cheer to her, as she murmured she would be living, then when she was dead. Though she seemed rather timid and reserved during the luncheon, to converse with her, she was pleasantly warm and friendly, particularly pleased with the hospitality of the Baltimore people. While here, Mrs. DePriest was the house guest and Grace McCard. Quile a number of callers graced both homes while she was here. She left on Monday. Now back to the luncheon. It was given my dear, the best they have ever had. The cafeteria honestly looked like a real banquet hall. The tables were beautifully set with center pieces of vases of flowers. The table was pleasing and credibly served. At the guest of honor table, there were Mrs. DePriest, of course, Mrs. Sarah C. Fernandis, president, Mrs. MacBeth, the executive secretary; Mrs. Page Edmunds (white); president of the Women's Civic League; Mrs. Julia K. Rogers (white); member, Mrs. Baltimore Museum of Art; Miss Anne Osue, Polish worker at the bureau of Catholic charities; Mrs. John Wesley Brown (white); member of the school board; Mrs. Chamberlain (white); Phi Delta Kappa; Glenn, social worker, of Washington, D.C.

Hurst, Mrs. Minnie Gaines, Mrs. Jackson, of Detroit, Mich., our own clever and brilliant Hilda Anderson, her dad, William Anderson; Mrs. Ida Hilton, Mrs. Grace McCard, Mrs. Ralph Cook, Mrs. John Hitchens, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Tyler Coleman, Mrs. Leroy Moore and Mrs. Daniel Brown. Lighted candles, cut flowers and chocolate candies were the tablet and the effect was beautiful. The hostesses, numbering no less than fifteen, headed by Mrs. John Woodhous, were very cordial in seeing that the guests were pleased. The pages, Mabel Locke, Bertha Pennington, Thelma Coleman, Lois Macbeth, Almiria Tibbs, Lillian Parrott, Alice Macbeth, Juanita King, and Addie Butler, passed programs, and collected subscription cards. They enjoyed lunch, after the interesting scheduled program was ended, Pansy, a number of distinguished out-of-town guests were introduced by Mrs. Fernandis, and asked to say a word or so. For instance, Mrs. S. C. Holland, of Philadelphia; Mrs. M. E. Webster, Mrs. John Edgar Smith, Mrs. Daisy Glenn, Mrs. Grace Hill Jacobs, and Mrs. M. C. Adams, all of Washington, D. C. Mrs. J. Fletcher, of Annapolis, Mrs. J. Fletcher, of speeches, though brief, were pleased. An atmosphere of charming guests, attired in the latest modes with a background setting of lush green flowers; a group of adorable hostesses at your back and call, and pretty page girls to answer your whys and answers, complete a memorable afternoon at the most successful Civic League luncheon.

Martha Harmon, Helen Reynolds, Chita McCard, Ma Wright, Etta Burwell, Constance Murphy, Celestine Thomas, Elizabeth Jenkins, Jack Fortune, Dallas Nicholas and Cummings who were among the Baltimoreans who were guests at the Sapp's dance on Friday night in Washington, D.C. The Ambassadors Orchestra from here, under the direction of David Thomas, furnished the dance music and they say it was just too bad. Rumor Afloat. Just who was the lady in question who asked for an invite to attend the Chas. Shipley's Indian dance the other week. We are not at liberty to say, though it is whispered that a certain pretty society beille here just couldn't let it go by and not be among the guests. So the telephone was convenient where she is making her home, and the person on the other end seemingly didn't like to say, no—so she was there, and if the lady with whom she lives hadn't just put her foot down and said, no, the pretty damsel wouldn't have thought it out of order to walk in on the other parties that followed. However, we guess she didn't mean any harm, just don't like to miss anything worth while. More Gossip. Why invite a number of people up to your house for a big time on Saturday night and then at the time of the arrival loc, the door and the window of the house was down and a physician's wife. But taking everything into consideration, easily, maybe she was overtired from attending the many activities of the Shipley week-end parties and was a little sleepy, and forgot her date.

The C.C. Formal. The C.G. formal dance, Pansy, at Odd Fellows' Hall on Friday evening, was way out of this world. For a long time, we were taught within easy reach of everyone. Quite in keeping you see, with the spirit of Saint Valentine, for beautiful red hearts artistically painted, the effect was unique, changing from soft to softer and then back again. The hostesses and their guests dance the harmonious stride of Ewing Hughes's orchestra. And the ladies looked so charming and fascinating in their exquisite gowns. No wonder the men folk felt so impressed. A beautiful dance indeed, with their hundred or more guests present. A number of out-of-town folks were there, including Mrs. Ann and Mrs. Robert, and Mr. Stephen Blutt, Ulysses Pompey, Jesse Palmer, and Chester Carpenter, all of Washington, D.C.; Mrs. Ulysses Poley, of New York; Mr. Maxwell, of Paterson, N.J.; Theodore Pheifer and Dr. Charles Barnum of Hagerstown, Md. The members of the club, deare, are lady teachers of the Douglass The Adelphians' Banquet. Gee, Pansy, the Adelphians are tight—only issuing invitations to men folks of note, and if you are not a pull or the other, you are burnt clear up, so far as concerns a bid to the banquet at the Penn Hotel on Thursday in honor of Congressman Hustav. A dance, we hear, is to follow. The Ascoes' Affair. The Asces' formal dance is this Friday, Fansy, and, byob, boy, what a hopping good time is in store for them, bounded or more guests that are expected.

Pertussin For Coughs After Many Failures He Discovered A Real Pile Remedy For years he suffered with fishing piles. Now and then he'd get a little relief from some salve or other—but nothing much to speak of. Finally someone told him of Peterson's Ointment — of its powerful healing qualities which had brought such swift, blessed relief to thousands of pile sufferers. Somewhat doubtful, he bought a box of ointment and convinced him that this was the most marvelous Ointment in the world. Why, man alive! That agonizing soreness went right out of those piles—the tortuous itching stopped—before he knew it his piles were gone. Every enterprising druggist in America knows of the mighty headache. His former ointment he knows it ends piles—one 356 box will prove it. Amazing You See Your Skin Grow LIGHTER and LIGHTER YOU never saw such a quick, magical, lower change. Else's face is black.

GREENSBORO, N.C.—The Lincoln University, Lions, fresh from 44-22 victory of the Va. Seminary tossers at Lynchburg, slopped off long enough to get the surprise of their lives here as the A. and T. College cagers upset the done by defeating them 21-19 in an exciting overtime struggle. Guarding Close The game was marked by close guarding on the part of both teams, which accounted for the low tie score of 9-9 at the end of the first half. With Captain Jewell leading the attack, the Aggies entered the second period with a fighting spirit, but the count see-saw until at the end of the regular playing time, the Lions had even matters and the score was deadlocked at 11. Two field goals by Washington, Agile in the five-minute overtime period, Streater and Tucker played well for the victors while Sydnor and Jackson kept the visitors in the running. Rout Seminary At Lynchburg, the Lions doubled the score on Ted Thompson's Seminary basketers, leaving no doubt as to the superior quint. Before the game was a half minute old, Avery Lincoln captain, sank a bucket, but this was not enough for the unanimous passing attack however, soon gave Lincoln an advantage and at half time the Lions were ahead by a 19-12 margin. The second half found Lincoln caging baskets from all angles of course. Captain Clemens and Clemens and Captain White and Hughes starred for Seminary. A Morris Brown Wins from All-Star Quint Collegians' Rally in Last Five Minutes Results in 36-26 Win BY MILTON L RANDOLPH ATLANTA, Ga. — Close guarding and better shooting enabled the Morris Brown Wolverines to come thru with a 36 to 26 win over the threatening fury of the World's most successful team last Tuesday. Reeves opened the scoring; Dalton followed with a long shot and a free throw. The score see-sawed and near the close of the half Baker was substituted for the half Baker as the half ended 20 to 17, with the Browns having the edge. The second half showed a bit of rough, hard play. Roberts and Bradley made another long shot. With the scores 26 all and with five minutes to play, Roberts attacked that brought a 36 to 26 verdict.

TIGER THOMAS WINS Takes Slow Battle from Billy Edwards in Headliner. Tiger Thomas, Leiperville, Pa., middleweight, was awarded the decision over Billy Edwards, Washington boxer, after 10 rounds, in the main bout at the New Albert auditorium, Tuesday night. Fans who saw Thomas make a splendid showing against Jack McNeil, New York middleweight, two weeks ago, were quite disappointed at his second showing, and some expressed their disapproval by boos when he was awarded the decision. The bout was a listless one, with only occasional flushes of punching, when Edwards, less ruggedly built, than Thomas, less physically built, with a hardened set of punches to the Tiger's head and face, only to have the Pennsylvania boy counter with a bruising body attack. Edward Rallies Late A closing rally by Edwards, who fought a more scientific fight than his more experienced opponent, was held in the final round, fatically in the final round. Many of the fans in the balcony had descended to the main floor as the tent started and some were preparing to engage, when there were nothing more. But Edwards, unleashing a two-fisted attack to Thomas's head, worked his man to the center of the ring, when he was the biggest that had the customers amplifying wildly. Semi is Great Battle The best bout of the evening, however, was the semi-windup in which Battling Griffin, scraping Philadelphia, got the nod over Young Harry Wills leading local junior lightweight, after ten rounds of slashing and brushing. Fighters were in good condition and until the eighth round the outcome was in doubt. But in those two final rounds Griffin cut loose with everything that he had, forcing Wills to the ropes where he opened up a rapid-fire two-fisted onslaught that was like a machine gun in effect. Wills Game But Wills fought gamely and rocked many a punch to Griffin's law and body. Griffin, however, was better at taking this punishment, some of the injuries he suffered in it were rubber. Time and again the boys would meet in the center of the ring and exchange a battery of toe-toe blows that had the raring fingers of Griffin in the face. His decision was a popular one. Griffin watched 132. Wills, 131. Fields. Norfolk Win In the first preliminary, Freddie (Kid) Fields, local pride, pounded out a six-round decision over Sailor Boy Grutchfield, of Washington, Joe (Ginger) Graham, Philadelphia fighter, substituting for Willie (K.O. Smith, found himself no match for Norfolk the local whirlwind, suffering a technical knockout in the third round of a scheduled Bounder, Norfolk was the aggressor throughout, and chased his tailor opponent all over the ring. Ducks, 31; Cardozo, 16 The Douglass High School Ducks had an easy time defeating Cardozo High School of Washington by a 31-16 score in the local gym, Monday, and before and before the first quarter had ended they had piled up an 18 to 6 lead. From then on the game between Cardozo and one after another as Cardozo battled vainly. The half ended with Douglass leading, 23-9. The second half found more substitutions minima, Twenty-two of the local cagers saw service in the contest, with Dyson, Rawlings and Simms showing up best. Harlan, center on the Carver, turned in a splendid performance. GREEKS TOP CARLISLES WASHINGTON. — The Baltimore Athens decisively defeated Conway's Carlisle Club, the pride of Washington, last Tuesday night, by the Baltimore quintet, despite the officiating of referee Underdow, clearly outplayed the Carlisles throughout the game. For Carlisles Simpson played best; while the entire team functioned like a magic. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 22, 1930 ```markdown ``` BY BILL GIBSON JUST because it is possible that you have not given it any particular attention, this pillar wishes to recommend to local basketball lovers that they take a hike on sometime and peep in on the city's crop of young basketball who covet the local courts, principally in the P.A.L. League games at the Douglass High School, and in the games held in the gym of the Sharp Street These youngsters play the game for the love of it, for the sheer thrill of defeating their opponents or for losing valiantly. As you watch the various groups, you see here and there some promising lad, who under the watchful eye of a good coach, should develop into Unfortunately, in most instances, this does not happen, many of the boys dropping out of school before they reach the high school stage, or drifting into the company of some semi-pro group where there is a minimum of opportunity to learn to play the game as it is. Good basketball talent goes to seed here every year because of a lack of cultivation. With Morgan College and the Athenians spreading the name of Baltimore throughout the country, many eyes are focused on the Monumental City as a basketball center. There is a plethora of material, but what is needed is quality, developed to its fullest possibilities. For that reason I am anxious to see that the boys who have an opportunity to get good coaching in the junior and senior high schools, heed that counsel and stop the haram-scarum method of playing with any pickup outfit that comes along. I hope that I'm not wrong. UNCLE Sam comes to the aid of the struggling colonymist from time to time, to tending in his mall sack those epistles of praise and censure which help to fill the great open spaces on the pages. He brings me a letter from a fan in New York, who, signing himself as a True Sport player. "While witnessing the Howard footgam game in New York last week, something grossed my ears that disgusted me more than I love. I have heard during my eighteen years of activity in the sport world, so I am asking space in your valuable paper that the sport world might learn some new ethics in sport. "During the game a group of Howard rooters gave a cheer that would take a column to describe as it would be, but when I tell you that it chiefly assures us of myusive language as well as that the Lions' name in valn, enough will be said. "I have only one comment to make, and that is, if this is an example of Howard rooters' sportsmanship, they are entitled to it, but I do think that they should have respect for the public and should not burden their ears with such vulgarity. And if the foregoing is true, and I have every reason believe that it is, I agree with the writer. And I have here in most cases the same as found alumni and ex-students during such demonstrations, rather than undergraduates. And there are others besides Howard. CONTINUING with the mail, I find an interesting bit of information from my friends at that athletically as well as scholastically prominent Armstrong High School in Washington. The capital lads, 1929 national basketball champions, who will be on hand to defend their laureus, Hampton and the annual tournament, next month, are also planning, among other things: "Armstrong is arranging a real classic with the Kimball High School of West Virginia, on the night of Monday, March 3, at 8 o'clock in the Howard University gym. "The Kimball team went into the Hampton national tournament last year as favorites, but Armstrong brought back the gold basketball representing us, we win the local championship to Hampton to try our luck. "We are getting ready to put on intra-mural basketball, with every home-room of boys participating." And from the indications shown by the Tech tossers in their first series game with Dunbar last week, the Armstrong team will be on hand at Hampton with colors flying. School spirit and competent administrators tell the tale. IT SEEMS as though the boys of knock and sock were having a little yarn-telling contest, telling about the hardest blows they were ever struck during their ring careers. And then the time came for Sam Langton to give his version of the hardest blows. Harry Wills, the Brown Panther, gets the credit for rocking old Tham, who gives the date as November 25, 1914, in a 20-round contest at Vernon, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. Langton was signed by "Uncle Tom" McCarey, an old California promoter. But let Langton talk: "Uncle Tom needed a holiday attraction, and I wasn't going to work. I wanted dinner if I could help it. Wills was in San Francisco, he had made a hit bouncing around big Charlie Miller, giant motorman. Uncle Tom, who had a way with him, managed to get Wills to sign. "Coming out of a clench, Wills dropped me for ninety seconds. It was a honey. I got up only to go down again from another right to the jaw. I should have known better and stayed down the first time. Before the first round came to a weary end I had gone down three times. "I was down so often in the second that I thought the white canvas was my bed. I woke about the hardest blows and paused back. I had him ready to be taken in the thirteenth, but the bungturried." "The bell clanged for the fourteenth and both we rushed to center. I dropped Harry for nine with a right to the jaw. He got up and started to run away, caught him. Then I went back to stairway and had a quick dinner. "Man, I sure did enjoy that dinner!" G BELIEVE it or not, those Hampton cagers are about as enginished as any other, any anywhere. For all the reasons, the Seasiders, C.I.A.A. court champions last year, are to out repeat their victory, after having made a rather unimpressive start. Which just goes to show that this basketball business is just one series or episode of Lincoln. Lincoln defeated Howard, and the Virginia tosses defeated Lincoln. Hampton received a scare from St. Paul while Howard mopped up the court with the Lawrencevillians. Then Lincoln, considered one of the strongest teams in the conference, after defeating Harvard and Washington, took into camp. And on top of all of this, Hampton dropped a one-point decision to Virginia State, a team she defeated earlier in the season, and State, on her own court, drops a one-point verdict to Johnson Smith University, a newcomer in C.I.A.A. cage circles and considered almost impossible. You say that road conditions, et cetera, often force a good team to play a mediocre game, and you're right. Some of the gyms in which the games are played are hardly excuses for gyms, it is true, and then players are not always "on." But, at least, they are in the C.I.A.A. basketball business, I get dizzy. Or was I dizzy at first?

Carmichael, Bluefield Star, Shining Light in Blues' 37-36 Defeat of Bisons. HALL HIGH SCORER Loss is Fourth by One Point for Capital Lads. WASHINGTON.—Howard University's hopes for victory received a rude backset here Saturday night as Carmichael, star forward of the Bluefield team, let fly a spectacular mid-court shot that split the cords shortly before the final whistle sounded, giving the Blues a 37-36 victory. The battle was one of the most hotly-contested played this season in the Howard gym, and at no time during the contest was there any surety as to who the winner would be. It was the fourth one-point loss for Howard this season. At half-time Bluefield held a 19-17 advantage. With Carmichael and Horton Bluefield aes out of the game tem- porarily, the Bisons ran up a seven- point lead in the second half, but the return of these cagers to the fray resulted in a gradual cutting down of the Howard advantage until Carmichael came through with the winning point. Hall, Howard for- ward, was high scorer with 13 points 12 of them coming from the floor. WET FEET Caused by Leaky Shoes Bring SICKNESS Let up protest your feet with rebuilt shoes.

BEATS HAMPTON Noses Out Seasiders in Overtime Period by 23-22 Count. PETERSBURG, Va. — The Virginia State baskets passed through one of the most hectic weeks of basketball: the history of the school they won two anew, of three games over the last week, splitting out with Smith University and nosing out Hampton, 1929 champs, by one point. Tuesday, an obscure Johnson Smith University aggregation completely outclassed the Hiltoppers in the first half, shutting them out in that period, 8-0 and coming back in the second stanza to eke out our opponent. State player, standing on the charity mark in the closing seconds of play, threw away his chance to tie the score, with a wild toss. Wednesday, the same two teams locked horns again and for three quarters of the game it was all State, with but three minutes so State was coached with both started a rally that the score just as the final whistle blew. In the extra period of five minutes both teams played very cautiously, but Avant, the star and captain of the Bulldogs, started to play. The crowd was deadly silent as Cropp prepared to try the free throw but bursted forth in all its fury as the ball whipped the cords for the winning point. Nose Out Hampton On Friday night, night Hampton, fresh from a game with Lincoln, invaded the Hilloppers' domain for a return engagement. In the previous meeting State and Hampton battled to a deadlock at the end of the regular playing period. In the extra period, both teams were determined to win this, the second game, but State did not start her first combination and held them out for the first seven minutes. From that point one team continually matching the other point for point. State Leads at Hair At last time, in a one point advantage 11-4, the second half was equally as close and even more thrilling than the first. Exactly five times the score was tied. With but a minute to play, Hampton had a shot and let let let a long shot that missed giving State the ball. A series of short quick passes developed into a crip shot by Captain Dabney which seem to have been missed. Soon after the timers horn sounded, with the ball in State's possession.

Morris, 13; Cambridge, 11 CAMBRIDGE, Md. —The Dorchester Eiks lost a 13 to 11 decision to the Jack Morris baskets of Chester, Pa, at the New Elk Casino here last week. The game was exceptionally close and three times the score was tied. With Moe Venev, coach, formerly of the Baltimore Athens, playing in the first half and shot their way to within reach of victory, but lacked the final drive. Goaded by this unhappiness of his wife and his mother, Jack finally made a daring escape from America by impersonating a member of Rube Foster's Giants. He successfully pursued the plan into Canada, where he, with his wife, escaped to Paris, France. 15 Basket by Lanky Jones as Whistle Blows, Gives Methodists 39-38 Win. GAME IS ROUGH Lefty Stern and Mates Protest Gibson's Decision. By LEVI JOLLEY A moving picture climax, with the elongated Lanky Jones in the role of the hero, was seen when the Morgan College Bears defeated the Schreiber Alerts, whites, for the mythical city championship by a 39-38 score at the press table-less New Albert auditorium, Friday night. Morgan, collegiate champions for five years, trailed the Alerts practically the entire game, with two exceptions when the score was tied, and when the Alerts held a lead of one point which was short-lived. With Alerts holding a one-point lead and five seconds to play, "Lanky" stepped to the footlight and sank a goal just as the timer's whistle blew to end the thriller. The Morganite was standing in the center of the room when he let飞, the one and only chance to win, and as the gods of luck would have it, the ball split the cords without touching the rim. It was a typical moving picture climax with the Morganite, who in seconds they were unable to yell at the unusual victory. Alerts Protest Officials, representing the Alerts, contested the victory declaring that the whistle had blown before the ball had been shot on its way to the baseline not count. Referee Leonard (Duck) Gibson after reciting two chapters of the A.A. Rules, decided that under the condition the Morganites had Bears Miss Fouls Had Morgan been able to shoot the 22 fouls allowed her, the game would have been won by the Bears by several points, taking into consideration free trials. In the first half Morgan missed 10 of 18 free throws, the Alerts scored four out of eight attempts. Records show that Pinky Clark made his 'one attempt while Lance King Jones made his 'two attempts through the cords. Wheatley made two successful shots out of six trials. Six attempts were made by Babe Jones, out of which four slipped through the goal to count. The goal was a bang, so fast was the passing that one could hardwil see the ball. After two minutes of rough scrimmage, Lefty Stern, of the Alerts, dropped a bull's eye from the fifteen-foot goal, with a score to equate the score. From that point on the lead was held by the Alerts until just before the whistle ended the half, when Morgan had an advantage of one point, he was called on to shoot. Roussel won to even shot evening up the score to end the half at 17-all. First Half Rough The first half was unusually rough because of the agreement that the three personal foul rule would be imposed. Referrer A was the Army to mine on the Morganites. The first half showed Morgan weak on their defense, and many efforts to locate the goal proved in vain although on several occasions the team spined the spine when the ball would roll around the rim and then fall off. Bears Change Style The second stanza started with the Alerts scoring, as Rosen, Ritcher and Peger catch a bull's eye. Rutus Hackett, who was substituted for Spencer, sank a shot from a different angle to run the score to 23-19. The Alerts out and after a few words of advice started to win the game. Things became so hot that Coach Hurt substituted Casey Jones, pinch hitter, with the advice to change the five man defense to the seven man defense of the leaders of the Alerts, the Morganes trailed them until two minutes before the close of the game, when they went to the front by one point only to have that count eradicated when Rosen sank a goal lead to the elimax was made when the Alerts attempted to freeze the ball with little over a minute to play. The Bears made all efforts to score from the floor but were unsuccessful. Then just as the left Lanky Jones's ball hit the whisker and luckily the ball hit the cord. The co-ordination of the Morganites was such that each shared the limelight, with the "Great Lanky" in the foreground. The Alerts showed a well balanced and organized outfit with the nationally known Leo Former College char and Rosen taking the better part of the attack. Lanky High Scorer Study of the score shows that Lanky Jones of Morgan was the high scorer with 17 points while Richey with 12 points was runner-up. Totals 13 13 8 Totals 16 6 22 Referee-L. U. Gibson.

I have chosen ham because it is one of the best heat and energy producing foods. Dr. Royal S. Cogeland, former health commissioner of New York City, now U.S. Senator from New York, says: "Ham contains those essential oils most needed for the maintenance and provision of large amounts of the body. It is a large percentage of available nutrition which is stored up in the body as a reserve weapon against malnutrition or other wasting diseases. It is easily assimilated and used for growth, energy, and comfort." This dinner is easily prepared at comparatively small cost and there is nothing more to the next day, which may be readily warmed over and yet be very tasty. Ham Dinner Menu.

NAPERY AND ITS CARE NAPERY AND ITS CARE Have you ever dreamed of a well-filled linen chest—A dining table—with shining cloths, embroideries, Buffer drawers with plaid or quilted covers? Have your dreams come true? Have your dreams come true? They can. Money is not the essential—one can buy charming napkins for the care this countdown. Fortunately full-sized table cloths are unnecessary except for formal occasions. Two of these—with napkins to match—bought at a sales store. Napkins are inexpensive and with the right care will last for years. Small cloths, with napkins, of white or colored linen, can be bought from one dollar and ninety-eight cents. Yard and a half square* or seventy-two-inch cloths are needed when there are four or more. Napkins are especially charming—Lish or Belgian sets, with six good-sized napkins cost only three dollars, or plain cloths and napkins can be purchased, and the corners cross-stitched in quant deetail to reflect the dining-room decorations. Runners and luncheon sets of pure linen can be found at correspondingly low prices, and if one shops intelligently, charming linen can be found lovelily enough to grace any table. In & world where coarse art-linen is sold as low as forty-nine cents a yard—with mercerized cotton in pretty colors and crocheted brown-ready-made lace edge linen, few inexpensive materials that will make charming things, it seems unnecessary for any home-maker to dream—and never the dream come true! Coarse linen centre pieces and oblong plate dolls with crocheted linen can be matched, for side-board and serving tables, are truly charming and so easy to make. Four hemstitched squares of quaint napkins put together with heavy lace insertion make charming cloths. There are materials in all colors—for instance, a green sheet and napkins, with little black and initials, and initials, can be made in an evening. Unless one has used these dainty colored linens, one cannot realize the "lift" and charm they give to every meal cloth and penny must be counted, "linen-like" materials may be substituted. Indian Head, Kindergarten cloth, basket weaves, cotton crash, checked toweling. Instead of linen demask, mercerized, the right laundering, and the use of Limit—the starch that restores the original finish, they look like new. Be sure the materials are durable—life is too showy, too precise, be warned in elaborately embroidered gingham and unbleached cotton. When buying linen be sure you are getting a pure fabric. To test, moisten a little. If pure linen, the moisture at once, and the moisture spreads. When there are six in the family, the supply of lunch should include: 2 large "company" cloths and napkins. 4 small every-day cloths. 6 napkins each, for dinner. 3 sets dollies and napkins, for breakfast and luncheon. 1 set "company" dollies and napkins Odd dollies for trays, tea tables, etc. The exception of the large cloths, all napery can be fashined by any home-maker who likes embroidering, hemstitching, crocheting Italian cut-work is not so very difficult. Lingerie Lace and embroidery on lingerie is appearing in more generous quantities than before. Nifty beach pajama ensembles are made terry cloth and trouser secrecy under side and may or may not have an uneven hem. Sleeves Never have sleeves been so varied. They may be short, elbow length, three-quarter length, you may be very stylish, according to the nature of the gown; the evening gown, of course, has no sleeves. Next time I shall give you a list of fruits, vegetables and meals that may be bought if you wish to lose weight and yet keep well. Excessive fat finds no place in the silhouette dresses.

Breakfast Breakfast starts the day right or wrong. Too much food is as bad as none. A substantial meal, hastily swallowed, is often worse than notting. Each breakfast makes a new beginning. Should be a happy-gay relationship mail. When there are little children, a cereal is always needed. With cooked fruit, Koester's bread, toasted, or muffins, cocoa, or Cloverland milk, children up to ten will be well nourished. Most adults, and athletic growing boys and girls, more will be needed. Eggs, codfish balls, or waffles or crumb griddle cakes, with Golden Crown syrup for energy, may replace the cereal or be served in addition. As much of the breakfast ready the night before as possible. Measure the Lord Calvert coffee in the pot. Pour the Cloverland cream in the pitcher. Prepare the fruit for serving. If you are having creamed dried beef, together, keep Koester's bread fresh for every day. Golden Crown on piping hot griddle cakes is always hailed with delight. Have plain griddle cakes on day—cormeal or a little cinnamon and add a little canned or grated fresh corn to the crumb griddle cakes in this book for the Sunday morning surprise. Golden Crown makes any of these more delicious than the everyday breakfast than a hot bread. Waffles muffins, breakfast cake are delicious and easy to make with syrup. Set the table—it takes only a minute—after you serve it. Use a fresh gay cloth—or washable stenciled doilies. Put a fern dish or the fruit in the centre—place the silver straight—he sure the dining-room is picked up—and watch for results. Have breakfast with a surprise now and then, is the keynote of a happy, successful day.

Unfortunately most men and women at or past middle age have for years been careless about the food they eat and their nerves. You are no longer younger than your nerve force and the strength of the blood and tissues in your body. If these get weak you get old before your time. Eating carelessly will hurt your body tissues and blood. Worry, hard work, living too speedy a life, hard to hurt the middle age, ends, long illness or hard luck will effect greatly your nerve force—especially after middle age. Both of these conditions cause a burning up of the elements, enclosing, phosphorous and hard water, each importance in the make up of your tissue and blood. These elements in your blood and body are so necessary that if you lack enough of the nerve force, vigor, ambition, health and power are dangerously weakened.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 22, BRIDGE By R. W. ALTIAFERO Very often a player will hold a four card suit and will want to make a bet as to whether it would be advisable or not. This question is often asked, as to the advisability of bidding a four card suit initially, as is to the advisability of your hand contains a four card suit and it is of minimum requirements for a four card suit bid, the bid is made initially. But the bid is made in the bid, unless his side strength warrants it. There are certain advantages in bidding a four card suit initially. One of these is that they give the partner of the bidder the knowledge he might need to bid a No Trump. Again such a card is the partner happens to have four cards of the suit bid also. If the four card holding is in a major it is even more necessary that it be bid inti- We work on the theory that if the holder of the four card suit bid with the minimum requirements, and his partner has insufficient length of hand, all and will make a declaration of their own, for irreardless of their strength, a double would not be logical and in any case would be information and documents establishing a declaration, you would not bid on the second round if you had not on the first, when your first declaration could have started with a bid of one. In other words, can you hold of folly to bid, two, or the second round. You can readily see that bidding a four card suit initially will give your partner information and may be fair. But, under no conditions, BID INITIALLY, A SUIT WITH LESS THAN FOUR CARDS. To make a four card suit bid one, you must give the following table showing the actual strength needed: Four card suits: A-K-Q-X: A-K-J- 10-Side strength. None. Four card suits: A-K-J-X: A-Q-J- 10-Side strength. King or Queen-Jack. Four card suits: A-K-x: A-J-Q x: A-Q-x: x: A-J-10: K-Q-J x: K-Q-10-x: K-Q-x: X-side strength One quick trick Four card suits: A-J-X-y; K-J-10-x-side strength. Ace-Queen or one quick trick plus a King or a Queen Jack. Another advantage of the four care suit initial bid of one is that it will serve to give the partner an indicating lead in case he cannot help the lead or has a holding with no logical lead. I have been asked by several Bridge Clubs in Baltimore to promote a Bridge tournament sometime during the later Spring season. I cannot do that. During that season I will be conducting a tournament among my time that I could not6414A4 my students which will so consume my time that I could not promote a cemetery. I cannot be willing to lend all moral support I can to such an undertaking. I would like very much to witness either an invitation tournament or a public one providing the tournament was conducted rigorously according to the rules of Laws of Auction Bridge. The Shuffle 10. (a) After the players are seated at the beginning of a game, the players shuffle the pack which dealer has chosen. All players have the right to shuffle, dealer having the right to shuffle. (b) During each deal the still pack is shuffled by dealer's player, then places it face down at his right at the left of the pack. (c) The pack must be shuffled thoroughly in view of all the players, but not so thoroughly. a. (b) If any provision of this law be violated, any player, before the deal starts, may demand a new shuffle. 12. A hand begins with the cut and ends when the last card is played to the thirteenth trick; or when any or all of the remaining tricks have been conceded by either side. 12. (a) Dealer, immediately before the deal, opposes the right hand opponent, who lifts off the top portion and places it beside the bottom portion toward dealer, who then places the bottom portion behind the dealer. 12. If his cut leaves fewer than four cards in the top or bottom portion; or any card be faced or displaced; or there is a split, or any but the proper player cut; or any but dealer complete the cut; or any player shuffle after the deal; or any but the remaining tricks may be demanded by any player.

HAMPTON, Va. — The sharp competition which the colored' workers face in almost all lines of industry was definitely faced by the Eighth Annual Builders Conference held here February 10 to 12, attracting delegates of some 24 states. First Day On the first day of the conference, the assistant professor of mechanical engineering, Dr. Dennis Howard, asked the professor Derrick Howard, speaking on the general topic, "Mechanical Equipment of Buildings," and "Seniary Plumbing and Hiring of Buildings." Under the same general subject, Elmer Checks, an illumination engineer from Claremont, Calif., explained the illumination of "Homes"; and he was followed by the assistant professor, Professor Hilary R. Robinson, who explained, "The Effective Flashing of Buildings" on these papers. At night there was a banquet given in the trade school, at which David H. Terry number of interesting talks were given. Second Day The second day's session took up the subject of "Estimating a Small House. A Set of Estimating Sheets was sent, in advance, to several members of the conference who came prepared to submit their estimates and to discuss methods taking off quantities and arriving at costs. This very concrete way of dealing with the subject was illustrated by Linnette T. Perdue, a builder for American Virginia State College, Petersburg, who discussed "Excavation and Backfilling"; Saul K. Perdue, a builder for American Virginia State College; Tucker J. Concrete "Concrete Work"; H. C. Wright, a builder and teacher of bricklaying, Norfolk, Va., who talked on Masons' and bricklaying; and William H. Hampton, who dealt with "Rough Framing"; Charles E. Coles, a builder of Charlestonville, Va., discussed "Finished Carpentry"; Charles E. Coles, a builder of the department of building conservation, A. and T. College, Greensboro, N.C., closed the discussion by taking on Contracts, Overhead Competent Architects The association went on record as standing solidly behind the proposition that there are colored architects and contractors who are fully competent to perform all the necessary tasks. The conclusion that they should be given an equal opportunity to bid on all construction work which is to be done. # The conference was closed on the last day by a moving picture. "The building was so beautiful," it illustrated the enormous field open to the builder in remodeling homes. Manages Grocery NEW YORK.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, February 22, 1930 WICHTIA, Kan. (ANP).—With nothing but a quick mind and two good fists, Frank Young, doorman for seventeen years at the Miller theater in this city, subdued two white bandits last Tuesday who sought to hold up the executive offices and the cashier of the house. The bandits had entered the upstairs office of the proceeding with their work when Young entered, ignorant of what was happening. One of the bandits commanded him to get on his knees, pointing a pistol at him at the same time. The other attendants in the office were marched out and stood up in front of the show window of a department store. One bandit held his gun in his pocket, aimed at Young and the others. When Young persisted in looking around, bandits came to him sharply and handed him to keep his eyes on the show window. Young felt that the man was going to shoot him and took a desperate chance. He swung around with his right fist to the point of his pistol with his left hand. The thug was knocked out and Young picked him up and carried him to a traffic policeman on the corner. Then he hurried back to the theatre just in time to observe the other bandit demanding money from the cashier. He leaped on him from behind and grappled with him until he was able to escape, then, with the gun taken from the first bandit, struck the second one unconscious. The hero doorman has not only been the owner of the barn owners, but the Wichita Eagle, a daily paper, has begun raising a fund from among its readers to show their appreciation for his act. The appeal for funds is made with the statement "the act of killing a misfellow as the act that prompts it."

HAITIAN COMMISSION IS ANTI-NEGRO GROUP Chairman Forbes Opposed Independence for the Philippine Islands. By L. F. COLES NEW YORK. — The editorial in the AFRO-AMERICAN for last week on President Hoover's Commission read on the question and I have read up to now over fifty weekly papers, and equally as many editorials from the metropolitan dailies. It took unusual grounds. It struck from the shoulder. Anone, unless he is an asinine fool, knows that Mr. Hoover showed that he is prejudiced against white women in the administration, white men are to investigate intricate questions and that he is catering to the whims of the South and to Colonel Russell of Louisiana, who is the bottom of all the trouble in Rhine. Mr. Hoover must think that he is dealing with a lot of little children, in fact most Negroes act as though they are able to learn things by the aid of Haiti objects to Negroes from America being on commissions, or rather the commission. This seems somewhat inconsistent as Mr. Hoover appointed Dr. Major to the Negro Commission. "This is puerile and inane. In fact, it is pusillanimous. It would be laughable if it were not so pathetic. If Dr. Moton were not the conservative that he is, he would refuse to serve on a separate committee, but it would take more independence than he has manifested in the vows that I have known him to do this. As a matter of fact, the trouble in Haiti hasn't anything to do with the educational system or the military. It has nothing to do with the trouble is ancient history. The bankers of New York City have the marines in Haiti under Colonel John Haitien, the governor of Haiti, people of what rightfully belongs to them. If Mr. Hoover doesn't know this, he is not fit for the president. He is not fit for the president, it then he is a hypocrite. One stroke of his pen would remove Russell and the marines out of Haiti, which would obliterate all the trouble. The New Republic has this to say: "After all this, it was something of an anti-climax when the personification was announced. Its chairman is W. Cameron Forbes. Boston banker, who was governor-general of the Philippines before the World War II, was Wood-Forbes commission in 1921 which reported not only against Philippine independence but also in favor of strengthening the powers of American governor-general in the islands. "A second member of the commission is Mr. Henry P. Fletcher, an ex-soldier and diplomat who served as decidedly conservative. The other members of the commission are journalists: Elie Vizca, of Rhode Island, a French Canadian; James Kearney, of Trenton, William Allen White of Emporia, Kansas. "With the possible exception of Mr. White, the commission contains no members of known sympathies toward Haiti or toward the Negro community; there is any Nomember." White Hates Catholics Everyone knows that William Allen White was Al Smith's greatest enemy. He was opposed to Smith on religion. I am wondered he will like a black Italian Catholic he will like a black Italian Catholic better than he liked a white Catholic. OFFICERS WATCH 'SHORE VICE denizens of the underworld and "numbers" operators kicked out of Atlantic City resorts by the recent sensational crusade against vice, will not be allowed to return through back doors. Director Cuthbert and Chief Doran told Supreme Court Justice Luther A. Campbell, last week. The supreme court justice had under consideration the calling a special court session in connection with violations brought out in the recent crusade. Activities Reported While the officials admitted that they checked up reports that vice dens were onening through the back doors, and had found some limited justification for the reports, that they clamped the lid down tight on these efforts of vice to "come back." Numbers Gambling Judge William H. Simmons has also dealt another plight "numbers" and slot machine games by holding heavy prism terms and suspended sentence over a number of men whom brought before him recently. In each case he sentenced the men and women to a year in state prison, but suspended the sentence on probation and the stipulation that they should make weekly payments of $5 on fines assessed against them. Suspended Sentence The judge explained that he did not give the convicts persons the usual bail for full sentences, because he felt sure as soon as they released they would go back on the job. With these suspended sentences hanging over their heads, he said, they could be severely dealt with if caught operating again. Meanwhile pastors in the city are urging an extended effort to keep the ice lid down tight. It developed in the city, however, the business interests have leit it out that the crusade has hit them a serious financial blow. To offset this, they met and asked the city to hold a holiday in order that they and taxpayers might be eased of the tremendous financial burdens occasioned by the expensive administration of city affairs. broke her ankle in alighting from the Cedar Avenue car in February at a preschool her home.

"ALL-WAYS BALTIMORE'S BEST DENTISTS" METHODISTS HIT JIM CROW HOTELS Vote No More. Sessions in Places Which Draw a Color Line. HOTEL WINTON SCORED Leaders Balked in Effort to Invoke Civil Rights Bill. By THELMA-LOUISE TAYLOR CLEVELAND, O.—At the last meeting of the Methodist council of Churches last week the local conference committee was defiantly hit by a resolution committing the council to go to no city hereafter that did not guarantee absolute equality in hotel accommodations and entertainment. For the past month the local committee has been attempting to have all delegates to the conference stop at the same hotel. The Hotel Winton demurred, and delegates at a colored hotel in the city for colored delegates. Rev. Stanley E. Grannum, the only Negro member of the committee, refused and demanded that all delegates be treated alike. The final word of Winton was sent to the conference on Friday before the conference opened. Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, director of the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, director of the Bureau of Negro Work of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church, when informed of a situation wrote all plaintive delegates asking the minister concerning be made at hotel Winton as quickly as possible. Only one member replied with the request—sending the necessary registration fee—but later wrote the hotel asking for a refund, stating that he preferred stopping with friends in the city. Any thought that might have been lurking in the minds of the committee concerning a child ridden was thereby forestalled.

I am not lazy go south and look, I upturned the sod for the cotton and sugar-cane. I had her road and do not seek alms. I do not seek alms.

Dr. Tobias averaged four speaking engagements each for the four days before. One of the meetings was an assembly of school principals with the city superintendent of education to discuss questions of relationships between the colored and white teachers and colored and white pupils. At Washington Congregational Church, white, Dr. Tobias said; "The time has passed when the church can satisfy its brotherhood conscience by sending barrels of old clothes to Negroes in the South or whether or not the church will open its doors for membership to all, without regard to race, colored or language." The White Ministerial Alliance, the question of refusal on the part of white people to associate with colored people on the ground of unpleasant body odors arose.

Underhill, who with his wife, Mrs. Sue Underhill, the missionary stationed at Foulassi, Sangemellina, Cameron, West Africa, wrote to his friend, Captain John Edgar Smith, of Washington, D.C., in part, as follows: "You must be acquainted with the description of the need of a car out here when I tell you that our farthest communion point is about 150 miles from Foulassi, our base." On our last trip, Mrs. Underhill and I made the entire trip on bicycles. When we returned, our physician advised that a trip of such distance on a bicycle is too strenuous for a young man. "Last month, Mr. McNell, a missionary of some ten years' experience, and myself, visited two communions on a single point, 10 miles from what we now call home. We went there first and when the service was finished we visited the next point, which was only seventy- Joseph Simeon Flipper, bishop of the M.E. church in Florida, will celebrate his 71st birthday.

Stresses Big Task Faced by Liberia (Editorial from the New York Herald) "That Sunday evening we decided that we would try to make home in one day. So early Monday morning we pedaled towards Poulusas. "There are many hills on the road that we were traveling and the sun was very hot, but we made very good progress. But thirty-seven miles from home the pedal of my machine hit a stump and broke off. It was necessary for me to walk and push my machine to tell some one to send me another machine. As I walked over the hot African road, pushing my broken bicycle, the sun beamed down upon me. "I stopped for dinner at a little village. They were very happy to have me stop and served me the best they had, boiled bannas, peanut hash, "This was served on dirty and broken dishes and I knew the time when I would have turned up my nose at such a conglomeration of hungry as I was, I ate it with relish. "After I had walked about twenty miles, I came to a great forest. The sun was beginning to set and the people in the last village told me that they were going to the forest because darkness would overtake me and I had no light on my machine. I was determined to get home, however, because I did not want to spend another night in the forest. "They are something awful. I shall never forget the first night I slept on one of them. They are made of hard branches of a tree tied together like a raft. They have no covering and are so cold that bed to keep away the insects and to keep warm, and the smoke from their fires all but strangled me. "Before I was half through the forest, it became pitch black, and for the first time since I arrived in Africa I was able to see the insects we were the queersthe sounds and I could hardly see the path in front. "I knew that the woods were infested with leopards and vipers and other animals that prowl around at night and the thought of these things "Then I thought of a line that I heard somewhat—it was strange the way it came into my mind—Fear in my heart. I thought of a forest. This thought shamed me. Here I was a minister of the Gospel, half afraid to penetrate a forest just because it was dark. I paused then and asked God to forgive me for my sins. I felt a sense of journey I had a feeling of the presence of the Master such as I had never felt before, and though I was tired and weary before, the closeness of His presence seemed to give me a sense of comfort. When I reached home that night, I was about all in it, but I can assure you there was not a happier man in all America or Africa. Never in all my experience out here did my little brother have any difficulties. It is a glorious work. It has its difficulties, its hardships, its deprivations, but it also has its compensations. God has been good to us. He has blessed us in many ways, but the most of all was the call to His work. "These dear people are very grateful. They are so glad that we have come, and now that we are able to talk with them, it makes our days more enjoyable. We need to have a message on one's heart that you cannot impart to a brother in need." Captain Smith is engaged in raising the necessary funds to have an automobile to the Rev. Mr. Underhill.

Bishop Davis is in Paris en route to a mission to Liberia and the Gold Coast from the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States on Friday and yesterday that his church had 40,000 members in south and west Africa. Under its direction the schools of Liberia are making rapid progress in preparing the United States to complete their education. Among the students are the son and daughter of the Vice President of Liberia. "I do think that the situation in Liberia today is not as bad as in the world," Bishop Davis said. "The people of the country are making heroic efforts to overcome the difficulties which confront them in a tropical country." Bishop Davis said: "We do overcome many of their problems. Many other countries have attracted attention to their needs, but those in Liberia seem to have been overlooked." United States in May Bishop Davis will report his observations to the council of bishops and the American missionary board. Education and Ignorance Concerning the purported statement of Bishop A. L. Gaines on this subject, printed here under date of January 25, Bishop Gaines stated: "Like all reformations, the education should be gradual, due to the fact that the supply of educated ministers is not equal to the demand. Possibly fifty years will be required to meet the demand. "If all the one hundred conferences of the AME Church would increase the number of students whose education is sponsored by the conferences from one student to at least four per year, the time would be hastened when all our pulpills will be filled by educated ministers. Concerning the purpose, we must use the support of ministers which it has and whose faithful services have largely made the church what it is."

Ernest Lyon, the Federation of Churches, including both races, will have another union meeting on Monday, February 24, at the Central Yankees Court. Judge J. S.

WRIGHT SECRETARY Change Laid to Personal Wish of Mayor. NEW YORK—Twenty-three white and two colored physicians have ousted in a re-organization of the staff at Harlem Hospital, and the letter are Dr. Conrad Vincent and Marshall Ross. The entire new board includes nine colored doctors and twenty-een whites. The thirteen members of the surgical division of the new medical board of the hospital include seven Neegres's and the medical staff of eight includes four Neegres. Louis T. Wright, secretary of the newly organized board of the Harlem Hospital, is New York's first colored police department surgeon, and is member of the N.A.A.C.P. board. The colored members of the new such board, aside from Dr. Wright, are Doctor P. M. Murray, Ralph H. Young, Faroe I. Allen, Aubre de L. Maynard, Robert J. Wilkinson and Albert S. Beasley. On medical staff the colored doctors of Lucles M. Brown, Albert H. Armistie J. T. W. Granaday and Verge, A. A. On the obstetrical staff, the colored doctors are Thomas H. Ames, Jr., and Ken M. Wilson. Dr. Paul A. Collins, a colon doctor, is made chief ophthalmologist a two other doctors, Chester Chinn, colore can. Michael Schiller, white, are in the division. Pediatrician, Dr. Alonzo Smith; Dermatologist, Dr. Ernest Alexander. Lewis H. Fairclough, a colored designer, is visiting dental surgeon, and Dr. Rec. C. Whiteman, also colored, is in the design of hematology. 11 Years Work This re-organization of Harker Hospital is the most thorough-gap recognition of the merit of colored physicians and surgeons, to be awarded places colored doctors and nurses or a parity with white, in one of New York City's leading hospitals, and enormously increases the Negro's opportunity for medical training, requiring them to work with the most eminent man of science. This would be impossible in a segregated institution. It may be expected to profound influence the trend of medical training throughout the United States, a similar trend being manifest in Cleveland and Boston. This development comes as the culmination of eleven years work toward this end, in which the Negro was the vice president of Colored People as prominently associated. The re-organization of Harker Hospital took place at the personal wish of Mavor Walker. Permanent and regular commissioner, has been vital interested in the progress made.
