Garner, Democrat, of Texas, suggested in the House last Tuesday the appointment of a commission to determine the widow of an employee of the House, a barber as Prince, who is entitled to the gratuity of $500 the Government allows. Garner asked Representative Charles L. Underhill, Republican, of Michigan, why the committee on accounts had not taken action with respect to paying the widow $500 usually paid on the death of such employees. Mr. Underhill explained that Prince had lived with one woman 24 or 25 years; she had darned his socks and cooked his meals. There is no reason she ever married to him. Another woman is claiming that she is his lawfully wedded wife but had performed no services for him for over 25 years. Why don't you introduce a resolution to have a commission appointed to whom the money should go? asked Mr. Garner, who has been against the growing number of commissions. "I'll leave that to you." "I'll leave that to you to introduce," retorted Mr. Underhill. DEPR WHITE HUSBAND MADLY IN LOVE SAYS HE STICKS Wife Left Him and Kiddies for the Sheik She Shot.

Paul Robeson, who it had been announced, would play the leading part in "Black April" by Julia Peterkin, has declined the role and will go to Europe to fill arrangements as a concert singer. It is said that Robeson was offered the role in "Black April," but chose the concert tour because he believes himself to be a concert singer rather than an actor. His condition of the Negro spirituals has given him a high rank in this group and his European trip will afford him another opportunity to tap higher.

Closed to Ex PASTOR AND WIFE SLEPT TOGETHER, DIDN'T SPEAK? So Wife Charges in Alexandria Divorce Suit. HUBBY IN DENIAL Says Wife's Worldly, Ridicules His Work. WASHINGTON, D. C.— The Rev. David L. Miles, pastor of the Baptist church in Alexandria, Va., slept in the same bed with his wife but did not speak to her, according to Mrs. Miles, whose plea for limited divorce was heard in Equity Court, Monday. The Mileses were married ten years ago and have two children, a boy three and a girl two. According to Mrs. Miles the pastor is so mean, cruel, cold and indifferent that he hasn't had his two-year-old baby girl in his arms since she was born. The source of the trouble, Mrs. Miles said, was a fascinating, Miss Beatrice Brown who eight years ago owned a house in their house at 442 Fifth Street, sw. Mrs. Miles told the court that her husband met Miss Brown secretly and from time to time she was seen in his car. Two months after the birth of the older child, she alleged, the Rev. Mr. Miles became indifferent and nearly every day went out at eight o'clock in the morning and failed to return on one or the next day. He kept this, she said, until he deserted her on March 23, 1926. The Rev. Mr. Miles is employed as a messenger in the Department of the Interior and is receiving $95 a month. week alloym by the court, declares this inadequate and asks a larger Pastor Denies Charges The Rev. Mr. Miles not only denied that he was tazed by the Miss. Miles, but also that he had treated her with the usual civility accorded women acquaintances. Acatting his coldness toward his wife, he said he was disgusted because of her laziness and lack of attention to his comforts and to their household. "My wife is a worldly woman and ridicules my interest in Christian work," he told the court. "I have often soiled myself. I have on visits to members of the church, but she would accuse me of all kinds of indiscretions and openly insulted members of the church with him I was working." The Rev. M. M. Clarke, his wife diploma, went off to Philadelphia, leaving no word of her whereabouts for three weeks. He denies that his church in Alexandria actually paid him anything for he gives back to needy members of the church, that he receives from the little pastorate. Armond W. Scott, attorney, represents Mrs. Miles and Harry Clarke, attorney for the minister. Judge Thea Hearst, the case under administration, will render a decision later in the week.

NEW YORK—The Howard University conference with Jan Smuts, white, expremier of South Africa, not only excluded reporters of the colored press, but, according to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who writes editorially in the current issue of the Crisis, it was "arranged so as to include no single Negro who had been in South Africa or had, expert knowledge of the South African situation." Commenting upon the ex-premier's comparison of colored people with patient jack asses and his desire to have them dancing and singing, Dr. DuBois says: "Dr. Moton, of Tuskegee, who among a half dozen Negro leaders, said the platform, was the only one who had the courage to challenge Smuts then and there. We congratulate him upon the deed." Conspiracy "Before his arrival," Dr. DuBois declares, "a movement was put on foot to get colored leaders to sign a laudatory address and thank Jan Smuts for his South African Negro program. This was fortunately blocked. "Effort was made before his visit to the United States to commit the colored people to support him and his policy in order that their action might influence their colored brethren in South Africa." Says Smuts Lied. Referring to the meeting again, Dr. DuBols declares: "Why was it not perfectly in order to some member of that (Howard University) Smuts, courteously but firmly, why he had deliberately lied at Town American Negro questioner that an American Negro buys land and live in South Africa?" Comparing Smuts with General Herzog, the present South African premier, Dr. DuBois says: "Herzog insincere, distrusted throughout South Africa by black and white. Boer and Briton, desperately trying to pose in Europe and America as a great liberal and forever damned by his determination to keep black folk in eternal subject, while salving the tools with fair words." Herzog is as narrow in his hatred as Smuts, but his narrowness is a lack of knowledge and not deliberate and saue hypocrisy. Herzog wants Smuts with never learn. He knows it all but Smuts has done. What Smuts Has Doed. Reciting what Smuts has done since 1924 when he first became a member of the cabinet in South Africa and rose to prime minister, Dr. DuBois.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 1, 1930 GARVEY JAILED; THIS TIME FOR HALF A YEAR Jamaican Leader Convicted by Government on Sedition Charge. SEAT IS LOST Garvey Elected, to be Ousted by Council. KINGSTON. Jamaica.—"I am glad I went to prison because I have added another plank to my platform. We are going to have better prisons so that when we go there we will have better conditions. Since we have to pay for the upkeep of the prison, we had better have a better prison anyhow." Thus spoke Marcus Garvey a little over a month and a half ago in a political speech campaigning for the legislature. Three weeks ago he lost this election. Back to Prison Last week he went back to St Katherine's prison; this time on a six months sentence for publishing a seditious libel against the government, in his newspaper, "The Blackmail." On December 24, 1929, Garvey ended a three months sentence in the same prison for contempt of court. While serving his first sentence, he lost his seat in the City Council under a rule which forbids a member to absent three times without leave. Last week he was re-elected, unopposed to the City Council. Second Expulsion Since he is now serving a second prison sentence, the City Council will again expel him before he has had a chance to attend more than one month in his campaign. Garvey declared that his prison sentences have saved his life because when in America he needed rest which he wouldn't have had an opportunity for dying that he never knew until he was sentenced to Atlanta penitentiary for five years in connection with the Black Star Line case. Saved his Life "Then I found out my nerves were partly gone, so they saved my life, and I never knew I was suffering from diabetes down here until my good friends sent me over to my sister, Marie's prism, where I got better." Incorrigible Dunce Garvey's paper referred to the mayor of Kingston as an "unmitigated and incorrigible dune." He said: "You cannot stop me with jail, neither can you stop me with anything else, the scaffold, the guillotine, the electric chair. These are the things which are responsible for our invasion and Mareus not ignorant of the way of the reformer." The literary editor of the publication was also sentenced to three years but the conviction was released. The sentence did not carry with it, "hard labor."

A picture resembling the notorious "hot hole of Shanghai" was painted by Judge J. S. Waxter of the juvenile court, in describing conditions at the girls' reformatory school at Melvale, in a talk to the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of white and colored ministers at the Central Y.M.C.A., Monday. Speaking on "Delinquent Youth and the Church," the judge declared that conditions at this school were the worst of any such place in the entire country. There are about 100 girls there, according to Judge Waxter, and 68 percent of them have some form of social disease. Most of these cases, he says, were contracted in the institution, statements by the girls showed. Sex Abnormality In nearly every case the girls indulge in homosexual practices, he said. Each girl who comes to the institution is initiated into the practice by older inmates. He found in one extreme case one of the girls had been but by another had been its result of homosexual practice. Another who was burned, said she enjoyed it as a sex experience. Eat With Hands At one visit made by Judge Waxter he found them eating their meal of liver and gravy with their hands. This is the practice there, he was told. There is no school and the one teacher there admitted that she no books with which to teach, that only seven girls get any schooling at all. None of the girls has sufficient clothing nor enough and proper bed clothing. The condition of the toilets was almost describable, said the trust, and at one minute, the only proper working condition. There were rat holes and tremendous fith he says. Should Fight Judge Waxter declared earnestly that a fight should be made against these conditions. In describing conditions at Cheltenham, Judge Waxter declared that they used to be able to live there, but they slightly improved. Even there, he said, they do nothing constructive for the domates. Untrained Staff There are only two people on the staff at Cheltenham who have sufficient training to be there, he said, and they are also international training nor proper recreation. Judge Waxter attributed most of the bad moral condition at these institutions to the lack of adult supervision or adult training. All work in a factory during the day and after eating their evening meal go to their dormitory and to bed. There, in the absence of proper recreational outlet, they are sordid practices to amuse themselves. Juvenile Court The local juvenile court is making an effort to raise the standard of juvenile treatment. Social, physical and psychiatric examinations are being conducted which caught in Seventy-five per cent of children from three to four years of age have retarded mentality. Sixty-five of the delinquent cases among girls are sex Mostly Protestant The judge finds that the Protestant churches are not dealing as successfully with child life as the Catholics are. Most Protestant homes, Catholic he, said, get in early training and plant holy fear into children. In commenting on the disclosures of Judre Waxter, the Rev. George P. Bragg, I, dec. counsel, he advocated he advocated the appointment of colored women. The white women there were not of a high type, he said. A committee was appointed to start reform remedies at both Melvale and Chester. Matron Admits Charges In a statement to the AFO-AMERICAN, Tuesday, Mrs. Sarah Medinger, now in charge, told the girls at Melvale, admitted that Judge Waxter's statement was about right when she went there last January. "The girls," she said, "have no knives and forks because they are the plenary of food and use spoons. The clothing is better now than it was when I came here. The building which is an old one and inadequate. Lack of funds is the chief obstacle. "Additional lavaries have been placed but homesexual practices still continue.

If there were any precedents, I would sentence you to hang despite your youthfulness. As it is, I am committing you for life without hope and to be treated as an animal." Similar Statement The court's statement in the Tyler case is similar to that which he made in sentencing Andrew Holland. It to 20 years in prison (the maximum penalty) for assault upon Albert Grover, white, 64-year-old Churchill storekeeper, and his wife Olaa, last year. Judge Moss said that the law imposing such a light penalty must have been made by those who loved in clemence. He told Holland that he would have forced him to a place he would have come to, and he never before enjoyed his expenses would be paid. he would have heat in winter and ice water in the summer and would learn a trade. Judge Moss said it was not his fault that the supreme penalty hanging cannot be imposed. Only 3 Years' Schooling Holland declared that although he was 17 years of age, he had gone to school for only three years. Maryland has a compulsory education law, but it is not enforced among colored people; and colored county school teachers are paid from 25 to 50 per cent less than whites doing the same work. Eighty Per Cent Perjuries Judge Moss also on Wednesday suspended sentence upon Sylvester Crowner. found guilty of assaulting and shooting. in order that Crowner might turn state's evidence against some of the witnesses who had failed to testify against him. Crowner shot William Wesley after a quarrel which began at a church meeting. Judge Moss said he believed that Wesley was paid by Crowner or Crowner's family to deny full participation in the shooting. The court declared that 80 per cent of the colored people who appeared on the Annapolis witness stand before him committed perjury.

Extractions should be done by the most sterile methods possible to avoid the danger of blood-poisoning. The less care, the greater the risk of Criminal menace in the part of the teeth that deliberate and do in the fact that it is easier and cheaper. Danger of Stock Solutions Stock solutions are solutions of anaesthetics, principally moxibromic preparations, bought in four source bottles more or less. The operator draws or pours into his syringe for each patient. The cock and contents of the bottle become contaminated with bacteria from handling and exposure to the air; and the preservatives used in stock solutions are not beneficial for the body. After-Pain This is very often caused by slougging of tissue from undean methods. Dry sores, an extremely painful condition of usually about ten days' duration, are caused by infections. Careless extraction injuries cause much pain. The Best War A specially prepared sterile tribe of the anesthetic should be used for each patient. Needles should be sterile and a needle should be preferable to preform the patient for nerve looking. A proper knowledge of anatomy and technique is essential for rendering the best service. Identification tells us we are the only dentists in Baltimore rendering the above services the best way at our small fees. New Money Rapidly Replacing Old Bm WASHINGTON.

History of Haiti Between 1807 and 1915, Haiti honored 24 men with the presidency. Seventeen were deposed by revolution, three were assassinated. Haitians point out that Haiti has had the greatest number of assassinations as the United States. Don't Believe Hoover President Hoover's assurance on February 4th that the American occupation would legally expire in May 1936 has been received in Haiti with such respect. Other Haitians recalling how President Harding, campaigning for the presidency, declared from his front porch in Marion, Ohio, that the United States would not be not to be believed, how can we believe Hoover. "We have little confidence in what Mr. Hoover says. He makes assurances in order to ingrate the United States before a condemning Indictments of U. S. Indictments of the United States, forwarded by Don Glassman, white, special correspondent of the World, in New York. Include the following: "Haitians declare that the situation on the island was never as bad as it was painted. American machine guns and bayonets, they say have caused more mortalities than all the Haitian revolutions." Before the occupation, Haiti was in debt, now it is bankrupt. Before the occupation, Hati had elections, some of them, as in the United States, were dishonest, now Haitians have no election. Chicago's race riots were revolutions. In comparison they say, Haitians were not nearly so horrible. U.S. Officials Drink "Americans, according to the Haitian notion, know nothing about moderation. Marines and civilians are publicly under the influence of Jouer." "For the first time Haitians are seeing drunken men and immorality. The presence of American marines has been a concern in Santo Domingo and Cuba. Dance halls and saloons are places of assignation. The one American institution that has contended with our national identity is the Rockefeller Institution which has studied malaria and yellow fever and given free scholarships to Haitians for study in foreign countries. "The United States intervened only to protect her own selfish interests, to exploit Haiti for American capital, to protect the slake in the Panama Canal, to militate obligated by threats and coercion. Why Not Mexico "Why, Haiti asks, does not the United States interfere with Mexico's internal affairs? Or Portugal's internal affairs? "It is because Haitians are Negroes and former slaves. If Uncle Sam should withdraw the occupation, Halton would be helpful for evermore. They were thought of Uncle Sam's return would terrorize them into self-submission." Journalists Jailed "There is hardly a Haitian journalist who has not been jailed during the war," said Joibois, editor of Le Courier Haitien served more than two years in the national penitentiary under fourteen arrests. He escaped just as his offenses were being investigated. Fleeing to South America, he followed the Hoover party on tour, denouncing imperialism and dictatorship. The latest report tells us that he was in a Buenos Aires insane asylum. "Haitians hold that it was a prosecution he received at the hands of his own government that caused Joibois Senator King's Treatment "In April 1927 United States Senator or William H. King was barred from Haiti by order of President Borni, who was one of the worst influences. "The Senator King sailed to Santo Domingo, M. Hudicourt, an editor, moved across the border and extended his influence to the Senator on behalf of the Haitian people, but on his return to Haiti, Hudicourt was arrested at the border and his automobile ransacked for the State Senator and States senator traveling incognito S300 Fine for Dots "The fortunate M.

BAKER AFRO Staff Writer At the Adelphian Clubs's Douglass Dinner in this city last Friday, Mrs. Oscar DePriest, congressman from the First District of Illinois, said: The DePriest Speech "I belong with the common people. I have no desire to help any other class of citizens. The common people are the satt of the earth. I have some principles that I adhere to. One thing I crave in public life is the confidence and the respect of the Negro race. I must do this without fear of publicity. "Too many of our leaders are most concerned about their own selfish interests. Bread and butter leadership is a bad thing. A man who has to support himself by his public office should not be in a public position. I believe that makes them can unmake them. "I tell you to use the weapon given you by the Constitution in order to protect your rights. You will never succeed in getting those rights in America unless you do. That weapon is "What's in it? What's in it for any American citizen? He that is without the power of the ballot is defenseless. With the ballot you can vote for your enemies. We are too careless about the use of our power. One Chicago Ward Equals Baltimore "There are about a 35,000 registered voters in Baltimore. We have that many in one park in Chicago. On election days we vote them whether they want to or not. Sometimes they go to the polls two or three times and vote for each other. But they vote. "You will never be able to get the votes in Baltimore until you organize. You must lay aside your pet jealousies to do the work, or cannot, the other fellow shall not, then you cannot accomplish a change. "You were taught during slavery to be suspicious of each other. You were taught that black was evil and white was good. You has passed. You must learn to select your own leaders and stop the white Women Can't be Buildozed "I congratulate you on the presence of the women. The salvation of the race lies in the women. The women cannot be bulldozed or bluffed. If you make them an active part in your work, the women can be ir. better hands before you." "I am suspicious of Maryland and Virginia. Maryland may not be a state of action. The House of Representatives has appropriated $23,000,000 to establish a national system of parks and forests. The state of Maryland will be in control of a part of that fund. I am going to try and have an amendment tacked on the bill. The Senate so that the state be no longer a discrimination in these new parks. Maryland's Jim Crow "The Maryland Park and planning acquiring the areas desired. Every citizen wants the parks and they want an equal opportunity in those parks. If the state of Maryland segregates you in its own parks, you will have segregation in Baltimore parks. I have seen segregation in Baltimore parks. I politician from selecting them for Commission would have control of you. He will use those he picks. am going to enlist the aid of the N.A.A.C.P. in my fight to have an open space in the parks, to safeguard the rights of every citizen "He that will not insist on his rights, soon will not have any. We have been too passive. The real fundamental cause is the race's lack of interest in its selfish interests. We have been too selfish. We in Baltimore and Maryland you can get what you want. "I have found that if you are on the square, the people will stand back of you. They will stand back of you and every leader if he is on the square. We have the services of the people above those of themselves. Appointments to Appanpolls "I will continue to make appointments to the army school at West Point and the naval academy at Annapolis. Between now and March 4, I am going to certify two boys to go to the naval academy. April I am going to certify another. I am going to insist on sending Negro boys to those schools. I have received criticism for my school. I am not worried about that. I have received criticism from some Negro papers. They have the right to criticize me, and I have the right to act.

Ulem Tec Negro was criticized. They are not of already, they should be. Diplomacy is Deceit "The Negro cannot get anything by being submissive. For the past 50 years we have been too diplomatic. Diplomacy means deciet most of the time. We have been too afraid of hurting some one's feelings. I am working for the people. I am commission from them. The minority gave me my commission are black, and I am satisfied with my bosses. "I want to encourage the Negroes. They are getting pessimistic, this leads to anarchism, this leads to communism. Today's paper talks about 400 Communists in the public schools of Washington. Since American history, our country we know about, let's stay ready and try to rectify the wrongs. 4,000,000 Unemployed "The are 4,000,000 unemployed people in the United States now. When the immigrants come to this country and work for less wages with a lower standard, they lessen the opportunity for the race. The Negro is the last hired, and the first to be fired. The least amount of immigration into America, the better will be the consequence of the Negro, the produced from Europe, and the countries of the Western hemisphere should be placed or a quota.

Delany, assistant U.S. district attorney, New York, speaking at Big Bethel Church on Monday made the charge that the Negroes of America are not free today. He substantiated his arguments by citing concrete cases of prejudice against African Americans by making comparative analysis of educational appropriations and of salaries in different sections of the country. “There is only one remedy for existing conditions, not a regimen to change your mental attitude from believing that you are supposed to receive unjust treatments. Stop apologizing for the things you are enforced to end the Confederacy in the United States.” “Education is the basic step of this new freedom, for without it the youth will not be able to stand modern competition. Stop apologizing for the things you own, businesses and support your own business enterprises and you will be creating your own jobs. Get the money and save money with it you have what the other you want, and he will return you.” "Self- respect and respect for the other members of the race is a pre- requisite condition of other races and of other men, but after all they are human beings, and their presence is important. Delany emphasized the fact that he received 92 per cent of the registered Negro vote in his campaign for Congress, and he voted on the unrestricted Negro resulted in a racial defeat.

RAISED BY COLORED Blood Mother of "Superior" Race Yet Lives. NEW YORK.—If Harlem is bad it is because of the white people, according to Miss D. J. Small, white, in a letter on the letter, "White People Through the Eyes of a White Woman Rearated in Negro Harlem and Still There," which appeared recently in the New York Herald Tribune. The letter is a protest against Beverly Smith on Negro Harlem. Miss Small says: "I am a white woman raised by a black woman, supposed to be clean living black mother who passed on thirteen years ago, put with her by my blood mother who yet lives, one of your race, supposed to be a suburbanistic and lower than some animals who at least protect their young. "I have lived in Harlem all my life and if it as bad as it is pictured it is due to the unscrubulous, cumbersome streets in our broad streets, in its fine apartments, in its many outlets, with a river on each side of it and the many bridges that are traversed by them, our country an opportunity to bring their filthy ideas and schemes up in this section, exploit the people, degrade their children, sell them rotten meat and make a profit on them. "speakest to me," Smith says in the article are run by your race; who do not even live in this section, yet do their dirt here in Harlem. The meat markets that sell rotten meat are run by people of your race who get rich quick because "The night clubs are run by your people, and it is no credit to your race to say they employ 2,000 Negroes by bringing their low wages up to this day. The all night life in the day are high type men and women supposedly." Personals MRS. ROAND PEELER, of Pleasantville, was returned to her home. MR. AND MRS.

Don't forget there was $1,200 in the savings Department at work. That was the end of his story and I knew you one guess as to what bank it was.

COLOR LINE II BOSTON HOTEL IS LATEST Latin School Pupil i Banned from Annual Class Prom. By C. ELLIOTT FREEMAN, Jr. Carroll News Service BOSTON, Mass. — Seato Wesley Manning, 17, senior of the Boston Latin School and his companion, Mis Gwendolyn Henderson, senior at Boston University College of Business Administration were refused admission to Longwood Tower, Brookline Wednesday, to attend the Purple and White prom, the annual ball of the senior class of the Boston Latin School because they are colored. Members of his class protested in vain. The School Committee prom Members of his business. The Scots issued a immediate investigation. Meaning's mother also is in consultation with her attorney about bringing suit against the management of the hotel. The youth passed his preliminary examination for entrance ised an immediate investigation. Manning's mother also is in consultation with her attorney about bringing suit against the management of the White House. The White who has already passed his preliminary examination for entrance to Harvard, was Wesley Manning, the winner of a three year college scholarship in the Elks oratory contest held last year. He is president of the Latin School Glee Club and managing editor of the Register senior paper. According to the prom manager, T. Roger Keane, white, the action of the function manager, A. H. Lane of Longwood Tower, was prompted by complaints of a number of its wealthy and aristocratic tenants following the dance held recently there by the Prom of English High School seniors, when nine-colored couples were present. Lane said that he had sent out notices to various organizations which had contracted for the ball-rooms explaining that it must be understood that one condition of the rents was, that it was not expected that the ballroom to be entertained there. James Gerald Carroll, managing director of the Purple and White Prom, declared that he has not received any notice to that effect he insinuated that another ball room would have been sought. Protest in vain Manning in relation that Carroll and David E. Kopans, floor director of the prom, came out and tried to argue Lane into permitting him and Miss Henderson to enter the dance, but in vain.

No "Uncle" Oscar Whatever else has been said of Mr. Oscar Deriest (Rep., Ill.) since his arrival in Congress year ago, no one has called him an "Uncle om." No one has accused him of wearing a indiana handkerchief around his head. "There have been no references to him" "Uncle Oscar." He has not been quoted as saying that the south is the best place for the Negro, and that the Southern white man is the Negro's best What the South calls "social equality" is a DePriest shibboleth. Mr. DePriest was entered at the White House. Mr. DePriest eats and entertains in the Congressional restaurant and is shaved in the Congressional barber shop. is spare time has been spent in speeches all over the country, urping colored people to read us U.S. Constitution, learn their rights, and. Naturally such a non-bandana policy as that allowed by Mr. DePriest differs so radically from at popularized by the late Dr. Booker T. Washington that it has of necessity found warm lends and strong enemies. Such an enemy is the Forester (Mass.) Daily elegram, which referred to Mr. DePriast as a mass Congressman" and said editorially retty: The cause of the Negro is not added by any Negro public official who centers his energies upon clamor-ons and effort for the establishment of the really impossible. Mr. DePriest has made one speech in Congress. It might have been a good speech, but it was concerned for the welfare of black Haitians, but who oppressed black Americans. He has insisted upon attempting extensive mixed black and white social entertainment in Wash- Having appointed a colored cadet to West Point, he has announced that he selected him as the most beautiful man to be present at the presser's "brand" in the blackbox boy I could find. "Not by beliggency such as this is a better relationship between black and white to be established or the cause of governing administration." Worcester, Mass., is in North, but the editorial above has the earmarks of Dixie. Representative of the posite view is David I. Pierce, white, of the editorial staff of the Cleveland (Ohio) News. He says: Oscar D'Firet, Congressman from Tildo's, is directly responsible for the nation-wide awakening of the Negro politically. He is a free-working, logical speaker. He is a fine looking man whose pictures do not do him justice. He is not a great man, but he is a clever politician. More than any other man, he is not a free-working, free-working, or free-working, uncompetently. In Cleveland, we believe him to have been the greatest man who has ever been the most� Mary B. Martin to the school board. He delivered a speech here on the block system of registration and voting and the Negro groups put it into practice. He was the first to find the most unsolicited people who will be D'Firet's and addressed a Negro audience of any size, that audience has learned some smart politics. Defending his own policy at the Douglass Day anquet in Baltimore, Friday night, Congressman DePriest declared that the Negro lost ground because of the gum-shoe, Uncle-Tom policy of at least twenty-five years. "Negroers are begging my things," he said. He is able to take by means of the Not, said he. Still speaking plainly, Mr. DePriest added that he was suspicious of any public project administered by the States of Maryland and Virginia.

Booker T. Washington's off-repeated assertion hat "the Southern white man is the Niggers best friend," and colored people with a rain of salt. They recognized it as the Washington "diplomacy." Mr. DePriest said Friday: "Diplomacy is dealt: I believe in plain speaking." Immoral Boxing On the ground that it is "immoral," that it might lead to bull fighting" and that the matches are "attended by those with hip flasks," a bill geralizing boxing was defeated in the Virginia assembly 55 to 39 last week. Professional boxing, like professional wrestling, as long been lawful in the more progressive tates of the Union, although there are many port lovers who recall the time when prize-fights and cock-fights were held in isolated rural spots in the counties or even on steamers in the Chesapeake Bay, in order to escape police regulations. Backward Virginia was once the first state in the Union, but it has given so much time to race integritate debates. The anti-marriage and anti-terror issues that even the professional sport stirs the wrath of the uninformed whites like the evolution issue in Tennessee. Praise for Garvey Some latego these columns in noting the failure of Mr. Marcus Garvey's "Back to Africa" movement in the United States and in Europe, made the suggestion that if Mr. Garvey demonstrated his leadership in Jamaica where a million impoverished blacks and a few whites reside, the world would be easily convinced that Mr. Garvey deserves our serious attention. These last two chapters see the Garvey program steered in this direction with the result that Mr. Garvey finds himself and one other member of his party in the city council, but himself and all of his candidates defeated in the legislative election. Commenting on this defeat, Mr. Garvey said that the opposition bought votes with money, food and run, carried others to the polls and threatened to uneducated, he continued, only one out of seven persons being registered and eligible to vote. Perhaps Mr. Garvey has turned his eyes from Africa, 4,000 miles away, to Jamaica, his native land at his doorstep, crying in the wilderness for enlargement and leadership. Five years from now, Mr. City Councilman Garvey can run again for the legislature. In ten years his party has a majority and in ten years Garvey should be able to dictate the island's program. work out their common problem together, but to do it, and do it well, Mr. Garvey first of all must discover some way to keep out of Jamaican jails. They "Pass" Right On A West Indian "passing for white" in New York, holds a responsible and lucrative position from which he would be fired immediately if it became known that he is colored. Seeking advice from the famed radio preacher, S. Parks Cadman, white, of Brooklyn, who coats Sunday afternoons on every subject under the sun, the fair-skinned West Indian asked if he were pursuing the prophet. He then against, false pretender. Dr. Cadman should, said the good doctor, maintain his self-respect and pride by disclosing his racial identity, give up his well-paying job for which he is no doubt well qualified, and find one at a lower wage. In doing this, Dr. Cadman counselled, he told the good doctor, to grove men and women who are endeavor to improve their racial assignment." Dr. Cadman advises. He should, his self-respect and identity, give up he is no doubt weaker lower wage. In de-sheiled, he goughed men a good improvement to improve the Poor Doctor Cadma insight into white infants for brotherhood. Here is a man who knows his race he is very probable white. He has a and comfortable this up ahead of blood and the reason and to understand Dr. cent whites can cans who are 75 piles must call the resent themselves". Dr. Cadman's poetic advice in "colored" in order with the people so Dr. Cadman advisen him against false pretensions. He should, said the good doctor, maintain his self-respect and pride by disclosing his racial identity, give up his well-paying job for which he is no doubt well qualified, and find one at a lower wage. In doing this, Dr. Cadman counsell, he women and men working with the courageous women and women who are endeavoring to improve their racial assignment." Poor Doctor Cadman; that answer gives greater insight into white Christianity than all his prayers for brotherhood and peace. Here is a man so light in color, that no one knows his race but himself. In blood ratio he is very probably more than three-fourths white. He has a well-paying position, friends and comforts him. He is to give all this up and tell the world that he has few drops of blood in his veins. And the reason for this sacrifice—if we to understand Dr. Cadman—is that only 100 per cent whites can call themselves white; that persons who are 75 per cent, or even 99 per cent, white must call themselves "colored" or "misrepresent themselves." Dr. Cadman's poor logic goes further still when it affirms the West Indian must call himself "colored" in order to be able to "co-operate" fully with the people so classed.

In what is probably a paid testimonial for a new encyclopedia, Dr. Cadman had this to say recently. Against a thousand unanswered questions in my own files, and hundreds of thousands more which I have attempted to answer, are a revelation of the crying need for even primary education. The mercy need for children in the encyclopedia can be placed in every household in the world. True American people black and white need a primary education and books also, but our white preachers need even more primary Christian education along with their books. Christianity looks beyond color to character; beyond race, religion, and nationality to personality. And yet, there in his pulpit Dr. Cadman, minister of the Federated Council of Churches of Christ in America, answering questions by the thousands is hoping to remove the mote from someone's eye and is unable to see the beam in his own eye.

To the Editor: In reference to the actions of some of our young girls who attend the Douglass High School: I was somewhat surprised to see some of them last Friday night at the Elks Hall, Madison nue and anne and james and bades' room, smoking and drinking whisky and gas. I asked one of the young men why was it that they permitted the young girls and boys to do such things at the hall and he told me that the young men the Elks put down to watch out for such things do such things they would not say anything to anyone else about it. If that is the case, I think that it would be much better for the Elks to employ older men. I agree with your paper in wanting more police positions, very much needed in some of our dance halls. You would be surprised to see the actions of some of the girls, drinking and smoking, and young men having some of them backed up in the corner where no one could see them. What I am writing I have seen with my own eyes. No one told me. I was somewhat surprised to see some of them last Friday night, at the Elks Hall, Madison Avenue and McMechan Street, standing down behind the ladies' room, one asked of the young men what was it that they permitted the young girls and boys to do such things at the hall and he told me that the young men the Elks put down there to watch but for such things do such themselves, one else about it. If that is the case, I think that it would be much better for the Elks to employ older men. I agree with your paper in wanting co-workers to get much needed in some dance halls.

I was somewhat surprised to see some of them last Friday night at the Elder School, standing downstairs by the ladies' room, smoking and drinking whiskey and gin.

As a case, I think that it would be much better for the Els to employ older men. I agree with your paper in wanting colored policewomen.

I have seen that he has mixed up with nice ones. No wonder our young men are afraid to say anything when some white bum says something to one of our girls as happened to me. So many of them are running with white men. You can walk down Madison Avenue any night and see them up in a corner with a white bum. So many of them are locked into. Where is our vice committee?

Voters Should Get Busy With Other Congressmen Who May Make Appointments to Naval Academy and West Point. To the Editor: I do not feel that Congressman Oscar Deprist should be forced to be the only member of Congress to recommend Negroes for appointment at West Point. There are many Congressmen who are Negroes, but there are also some who would. Few, if any, of these are going to do so until their Negro constituents, where they have any considerable number of these, make such an appointment upon their request. I do not feel should be force to recompose to recommend under no circle gro, but there any, of these, as of these, number of their Congress. With the shiite Shia, we are now a num Negroes form of the constitut on the part o recommend to recommend I do not feel that Congressman Oscar Deprist should be forced to be the only member of Congress to recommend Negroes to appointees in Congress who under no circumstances would recommend a Negro, but there are also some who would. Few, if any, of these are going to do so unquestionably. If Congressman Deprist, a number of these, make a concerted demand upon their Congressmen for such appointments. With the shifting of so many Negroes from the states to the District of Columbia, there are now a number of Congressional districts where Negroes form the bulk, or very nearly the bulk, of the constituents of these districts. Firness on the part of these constituents and wives of Negroes in Congress to recommend qualified Negro youths. With the shifting of so many Negroes from the South to the North during the past decade, there are now a number of Congressional districts, there are now Negroes for governor or, or very nearly the bulk, of constituents of these districts. Firmness on the part of these constituents can and will inevitably cause their representatives in Congress to recommend an important point is that extreme care should be used in picking these Negro candidates. They should be of such physical and mental ability as to make it impossible for them to be denied admission or ousted after admission without national permission. Parham's experience makes the situation seem somewhat discouraging just now. but just as the constant dripping of water will wear down the infrastructure and movement such as is suggested above cannot help but eventually break down at least the most obvious of the barriers now existing at West Point and at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. WALTER WHITE Acting Secretary, N.A.A.C.P., New York City. No Reference to Dr. Craft Which Imputed Unbecoming Conduct. In your issue of February 8, wherein you reported the argument to the jury by the attorneys for the plaintiff and defendant in the Fitzhugh-Curtis case, there was a point of reference to Dr. Robert Craft, formerly an interne at Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, D.C. "The same time she was supposed to be having trouble with Dr. Curtis the was going out to Freedmen's Hospital to see Dr. Craft, an interne. Dr. Craft is, in fact, excusing his spending in New York City, where your splendid paper has a well deserved circulation and he wishes to inform both your New York readers and readers elsewhere that Miss Fitzhugh was not running out to the hospital, and that the following a letter to him from Charles H. Houston, Esq, attorney for Dr. Curtis, wherein he writes as follows: Dr. Craft is a young physician practicing his profession in New York City, where your splendid paper has a well served circulation and he wishes to inform both your New York readers and readers elsewhere that Miss Pitzlugh was not running out of paper. He quotes a quote for you the following from a letter to him from Charles H. Houston, Esq, attorney for Dr. Curtis, where he writes as follows: Dr. Craft is a young physician practicing his profession in New York. He has been observed circulating and he wishes to inform both your New York readers and readers elsewhere that he was not able to provide a hospital to help. "Answering your letter of the 10th inst., please be advised that no reference was made to Dr. Craft when he was in town for any imputation or unbecoming conduct on his part. "His name was brought into the case by Miss Fitzhugh when she stated that in the month of July, 1927, she was in town for an internée friend. I obtained from her upon cross-examination the statement that this friend's name was Dr. Robert Craft. "She stated that Dr. Craft did not begin his internesse until October 2, 1927, and that he was not in town in July, 1927." Dr. Craft, on his behalf, says that he has never had any relations with Miss Fitzhugh which were unbecoming to him. He is as kind as he may be, a lady becoming conduct. This statement is made without taking sides in the Fitzhugh-Curtis case. WILIAM T.

From the results of such a questionnaire, the investigators assume that, although I have answered affirmatively, were least contributing a little hard cash to bring about the conditions which they claim to desire.

And it gets less than $100,000 a year after constant begging, a large fraction of which comes from white people! I like myself burst out in laughter. It is excellent material for the satirist the cosmic humorist! What I would like to see the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People so is to teach them the rules of the United States who are prominent in fraternal, political, business and professional fields, and indicate after each name the amount that individual is carrying toward the goal of carrying for full membership rights and privileges for the Negro. Then we would have a record by which we could check up the extent of these people's love for their race and their belief in freedom and liberty for the black American.

R. E. FORD. In Not First to File Request Day by Day By WILLIAM N. JONES Getting Back Into the Hotel Game C. Jacques Henderson, steward at the Ebbitt Hotel in Washington, believes that with proper training, one thousand colored man could be holding down jobs similar to his in hotels throughout the country. Such an opportunity would add more than $2,000,000 to the income of the place, a large part of which would sit through to business and professional channels. Det Kel "Surprise DETING de been gir for his last Afro-African But the modern steward must combine the qualities of an expert chef and culinary artist with a sound business ability to do buying, selling, and accounting. Every night Mr. Henderson puts down a statement of the day's business of a big hotel in terms of profit and loss. Here is certainly an avenue where young men may begin at the bottom and work their way up in a business which ranks third in money invested in these United States. The possibility looms big when you consider that there is at least one hotel in every town and hamlet in this country. Hotelling is becoming one of the most precise businesses of modern times. There is no reason why young men should not look to hotel careers and regard the preparation and serving of food with the same degree of pride and dignity which a pharmacist regards the handling of drugs in his laboratory. Here is a suggestion for our vocational guidance departments and vocational education. And when they are trained, our leaders should see that the matter is properly brought to the attention of the hotel owners' associations. Who is the Good Citizen? Every community should establish a prize to be given each year to its outstanding citizen, if for no other reason than to emphasize what constitutes a good citizen. Most men and women feel that their duty to the community is done when they pay their taxes, but every one owes some contribution to the general welfare just as everyone gets something from the accumulation of the common benefits. There was a time when everybody helped to put out the village fire, and when all the women of the town felt it to be their duty to the sick and the poor in the snow. The modern community has made these practices obsolete, and much of the good old communal spirit is dying with the old order. While this is true, it must not be forgotten that our modern civilization has been more merged and interdependent, and that there is a growing need for looking after "the other man." The doctor who lives in the pretentious house, the business man who sells his wares to the masses, and the minister who administers the medicine, not the only ones who depend upon the common welfare for their success, but EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IS AFFECTED IN SOME DEGREE BY WHAT HAPPENS TO EVERY OTHER MAN. CLOSELY KNIT SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FABRIC AND SHOULD CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING TO THE GENERAL WELFARE. If, therefore, you wish to properly rate yourself as a good citizen, do so not, by rating your ability to take care of your health, but direct connection with the agencies designed to take care of the community life. **Church in Russia** What seems to be "persecution" of the Orthodox church in Soviet Russia, should have a significant meaning to every religious leader in the world. The present generation is not only abandoning the church in that sense, but there is open opposition to the very existence of the old church regime. This, of course, does not mean that young Russia is turning atheist, but it does mean that they have honest convictions against us, superior to our country which ran hand in hand with the villains of the czarist regime. Perhaps out of it all will be born a new religion, just as there had to be a new religion, the religion homecombed with corpse priests, just before the birth of Christ. Russia is driving out the Orthodox church because the leaders no longer have faith in it as an honest ethical agency. Any church which will stand by without protest when human beings are being exploited; whose leaders become an exploiting group and wallow in the excrement of selfish agrandizement, find itself becoming contemptible. Over here in America we may not drive the churches out, but no one who observes the growing attitude toward the churches will fail to see a similarity to what is taking place in Russia. There is no revolution and violence, here, but there is a constant-movement which is letting the churches die a slow and painless death. Just last year John A. Hawkins called attention to the diminishing membership of the great AME church, and in no denomination is the increase in membership keeping pace with the increase in population. When prelates like the eminent Bishop A. J. Carey can stop to association with political hucksters and work in harness with such a political machine as has dominated the city of Chicago, for instance, and yet receive the tolerant silence of his peers, there is something wrong, most young men and women will believe. To white churches can condone segregation and human exploitation because those who fill the collection trays believe that way, there is little hope for building a fundamental attitude of sacredness upon which religion thrives.

Detroit Pastor Denounces Kelly Miller Hoover Defense "Surprised and Disappointed," says Dr. Chapman at Attempt to Justify Non-appointment of Negro on the Haitian Commission. DETROIT, Mich.—Ascathing denunciation has just been given Prof. Kelly Miller for his article which appeared last week in the Baltimore Afro-American. entitled "An Apology for Hoover's White Commission." NOT THE ONLY ONE LEFT Mr. DePRIEST. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to proceed for two minutes. The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Haiti asks unanimously to proceed for two Rev. G. E. Chapman, of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, has written Prof. Miller an open letter, in which he expresses surprise and disappointment at the position which is taken by the Miller article which attempted to justify President Hoover in the failure to appoint a Negro to membership on the Haitian Commission. The letter in part follows: To Prof. Kelly Miller, Washington, D.C. Our last article, "An Apology for Hoover's White Commission," which appeared on the editorial page of the Baltimore APO-AMERICAN in the issue of *Nature* in the 22nd really surprizes me. I am as much dispatched at your clever sophistry as you, and others, are at the failure of President Hoover to designate one able. fearless Negro on the Haitian Commission. Observe the following: Formerly you advocated the appointment of a Negro on the Haitian Commission. Yet in this article (just a few days later) you seem have had a change in your approach for some and have completely around and now say: "No Negro could be found of like eminence, with the same degree of international expertion. But Howard showed his appreciation of the importance of the issues involved by appointing a commission of such high calibre and quality. Frankly, that seems a complete, "knockout." You yourself admit that certain members of the commission don't shine so brilliantly along certain lines—yet you raise questions against their having been appointed. Then, if it is not an unparable crime on the part of a member of the commission why try to justify his not having named at least one member from the Negro race of similar expertise (even if on a slightly lower level) than the Caucasian member? Permit a few questions just here: Would President Hoover have shown the importance of the issues involved" had he appointed a Negro as a member of the commission? Would the membership of a Negro on that commission have presented the dignity of the commission? Doesn't there always have to be "the first time" to everything? And so, no, "expert and experienced internationally" if he is never given a chance to be such? How did those who are members of the Nordic race, become "expert and experienced" in international matters? You claim: "President Hoover is not politically minded. His highest aim is to bring efficiency to the public." The only inference here is that the presence of a Negro would preclude the possibility of acquiring a degree. What nonsense! Hokus pokus of the rankest kind! You really must be overestimating your own ability to argue logically, and at the same time you are understating the Negro's ability to think clearly. You try to make much of the fact that he did not appear as a "Southern expert" in pronounced racial attitude." It may be information to you when I say that ALL of the Negro's enemies are not "Southerners of known and pronounced races." There is one thing which can be said about the average "Southerner" which cannot be said to the percentage of Southerners. The reason the South tells you plainly—and doesn't stop until you know what he means—that he doesn't want you to: he doesn't want you to the Southerners who pretend they are your friends when they are really your worst enemies. As regards the "best man available," do you mean to infer that the naming of a Negro as a member of the commission would not have been "procuring the best man available for the position"? May I ask: What elements enter into making one the best man available for the position? Johnson, president of Howard University, Washington, D.C.; or Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, is about as capable if not more so than several of those who were ap- Frankly, your statements about the "strained social relations" are more amusing than convincing. When are we ever to get anywhere by such cowardice and shilly shalying? And the Moton "salve" will not cure the sore. We as a race are not so short sighted, nor short minded as to forge that to make us the educational system of Haiti refused to take a manly stand when his wife was put out of a berth (Pullman) in the South a few years ago. Bear in mind, he then made a statement to the effect that she "had no business to ride in a Pullman." The Negro is not willing to follow any such person as a leader. The real face is: the Negro WILL not follow any such leadership as that. The entire race is deeply pained at your tirade. I respectfully refer to the column opposite the end of your article: The sheep that bites off its own tail shames the whole family!

Chips From The Quarry The Proofreader Talks. The Apostrophe—Continued First, to repeat and reinforce what was last week: the apostrophe is never properly used to form or to assists in forming the nouns words referred to merely as words. For example, we write, "the whys and the whereofs," or "He sprinkles 'ands' and 'buts' through his sentences." In some cases, it may be worth while to work words wrongly (quotes as in the example just given) to prevent possible ambiguity. The only excuse for using the apostrophe in assisting in the forming the plurals of letters is to save the word "Do your is," the "is" might write "Do your is," the "is" might be regarded as a verb. As to plurals of signs and figures, the apostrophe is clearly needless; the "is" can be to write (and many would write): "He put in two "s," or: "His 5s are badly made." And the sentence: "There are two Y.M.C.A.s in this city," surely is clear. It is truly unfortunate that one of the best and oftesten quoted style books sanctions the use of the apostrophe in forming the plurals of nouns—apparently for euphony sake. It is true the rule given in this style book is given in many of the older grammars, but the later grammar, e.g., Maxwell's and Harvey's both widely used—do not sanction it. And Professor Mawson—of the editorial staff of the Century Dictionary—flatly says that plurals of PROPER nouns are formed in only two ways; namely, by adding "s" or "es," as the case may require, regardless of the multiplication of "s" sounds. Relatively few of our common nouns end in "s" in the singular, though many end in the double "s"—including that beautiful word and pleasant procedure "kiss". And who objects to "kisses," even though the word (and the procedure) ends in more than one "s" sound? The fact is, there is, so far as the writer knows, only one noun, common or proper, whose plural or possessive, formed in the usual way might be regarded as really objectionable—that word is "Moses." But those persons who think that some sensitive ear (or eye) may be offended by: "the Moseses" (plural) or "Moses" law (possessive), ought to be able to express the same meaning in some other way; "the Moses family," or "the law of Moses," is just as good. F. H. M. M The Watchman Lines inspired by a recent news story of the boy who failed to give the alarm. Little Blue, Blue, come blow your horn. For Dad's in the thicket, mashing the corn; Your job is to watch—pretend to watch them. The probits are coming—and you're fast, asleep. Why Is It? Here it is again. A Washington news service sending Colonel Charles Young, shocks the initial "O" in after "Charles," should be an interesting thing, perhaps, someone to compile—from the files of Negro publications—a list of the various letters that have stuck into the name of Colonel Young. There seems to be a feeling on the part of some writers that every person MUST have at least two given names, yet the fact is, even among names as well known as the names of Presidents ought to be three of them, George Washington to Herbert Hoover with a middle name. Georgians O.K. Lynching as Rane Punishment The N.A.A.C.P. finds the lynching spirit is not yet dead in the state of Georgia, as evidenced by letters received and published by the editor of the Macon Telegraph, in response to lynchings that warrant lynchers had lynched not alone their victim but justice in Georgia. The Telegraph quotes also from an editorial in the Ocilla Star which virtually justifies the lynching in the "When this kind of crime is committed, whether it be in Georgia or in Maine, men are going to see that the offender gets his punishment without waiting for the courts. Wrong, of course, but it will nearly always be done the paper. The fact that this crime is committed, so long may criminals expect mob violence." The letters written to the Telegraph, some of them unsigned, call the editor names, suggest violence against him, and express the determination to injure the circulation of his paper. The editorial quoted from the Coffee County. Progress says: "He (the Telegraph's editorial writer) states that those who participated in the killing of James Irving are quite as guilty as the Negro himself, which denotes him a low thinker, and in the minds of a great many people, a vicious liar." SIMPLE THOUGHTS The Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man and the Golden Rule was practiced among white people vanishing to thin air at the sight of a Negro. Regent GRANT E. LATTIMORE Annapolis, Md. D.C. Community Chest Pledged Sum of $32,000 The 1930 Campaign Represents the Largest Amount Raised by Colored People in Any Single City. By KELLY MILLER The city of Washington has just closed its second community chest campaign. The city was divided into five regions, of which the colored population constituted one unit. The writer was chairman in charge of this division. All of the plan; and processes were unitary, grouped by race, only for convenience of operation. The total amount raised by the chest was over a million and a half dollars, of which the colored continents constituted over thirty-two thousand dollars. This sum seems small in comparison to that given by the white race when we look at the comparative amounts. But if we inquire into the abilities of the two contributing constituencies, the disparity disappears. This sum represents. I believe, by far more than the combined race has ever contributed for the annual support of charity in any of our large cities. Forty-nine Gave Over $100 Each Forty-nine colored citizens, in sums of one hundred dollars and above, contributed five thousand, two hundred and seventy-five dollars. There were some seven thousand persons in smaller amounts, making the average of four and one-half dollars for each subscriber. The times were found to be unusually hard. Many people were out of employment and wholly unable to contribute. The perhaps twenty-thousand households among our colored population. Scarcely more than a fourth of these is on the contributing list. By continued and persistent effort, it is hoped to reach and elicit favorable response from every household with the national capital. Six Colored Bodies in Community Cuest There are six charity agencies operated and managed by colored people in the seventy-five listed under the community chest. But these by no means represent the amount of charity work done among the race. Many of the other agencies devote a more or less considerable part of their energy to the relief of Negro needs and suffering. It is estimated that the Negro receives from the chest at least ten times as much as he puts into it. The theory is that everyone contributes according to his ability, and receives according to his needs. The Chest Serves to Unify All Elements The Washington community chest has operated as a uniting agency of the various elements into which the city is divided. Gentile and Jew, Protestant and Catholic, White and Black, stood side by side and worked shoulder to shoulder to united by the compulsive to succor human suffering and want. Washington has the largest proportional Negro population of any of our largest Northern states, and fourth of the population of the national capital. It is but proper that it should set the example of race co-operation in this essential feature of human welfare. Of all of nature makes the whole kid. Etiquette 1.

Penn Athletic Club, and Exclusive Prom Dorothy Tobourne, Francis Graves, Marlene Turner, and two other Quaker maidens, have selected Misses who will attend the Temple University Sophomore From, to be held at the ultra-exclusive Penn Athletic Club, of much venerated aristocrats. They are quite elated over it 'neverthing. Now we'll tell a little secret we modestly kept these past five years. We've known, the very first among the set, to have been so honored, as guest of one of the seniors of the University of Pennsylvania, Eugene G. Ivy Ball. Our recollections: Well, after the elaborately stunning goons, and expensive wraps, colorful insignia of the various fraternities draped in banner, form, from box, white, white-on-one, flounders, and, looked indulgently on-we might say, the rest was typically collegiate. (After the manner of Nordic merry-making!) It was when the "happened stage was about to hit his life and the unrestlessness of the age.) Gin and hickney-bottles—empty-decorated divers corners of a glass-like floor, and perfumed cigarette smoke veiled the already subdued lights of the magnificent ballroom,—whirling into the top of the wall—as two-yearly gleds—which fip-flasks were everseen in evidence—nonheavily drained during dances. Everyone was in high spirits. One girl, "Betty," she was called, "stopped the show" with her sensational exhibition of the Charleston's "Puppet Show," and, on the other hand, "cried someone to "Call Jack to get Betty." But a wonderful time "was had by all." It was, however, without a question of doubt, an elite affair. All told, it was an experience. About one person, she was on reason to regret. It was a decidedly novel to us, and we daresay I would have been to any other member of OUE elite—at an affair of that kind, at any rate. We are, therefore, more than merely curing the money from the "Chicchi. Temple From. These five world-class asses mentioned herein, may have an entirely new angle to present. That they are going to have a royal time, we safely predict—in any event. And I would not miss it. We need the comparison of the day by them, with them, or in spite of them! Delta Jabberwock Clementine Murphy, of the Dallas, called us to let us know that the second annual Jabberwock, staged for the purpose of raking under water, began under water, and extended an invitation for our club to participate in its stunt program.

The absence of a general epidemic is believed to have been the cause of the large decrease. Last year during the month of January there was an extremely high mortality rate for that month. The deaths caused by that disease in that month were almost double those caused by the same disease the remaining eleven months of the year. There were 244 deaths for the entire month of January, this year, compared to 428 for the same month last year. Deaths under one year of age were 22 for this year, compared to 20 under the same year. Deaths under two years of age are reported to have been 47 for last year and 34 for the percent year. Charged with stabbing Miss Sarah Anderson, 205 Colvin Street. Miss Pearl Smith, 1012 E.

When In New York Stop at The Hotel Olga E. H. WILSON, Proprietor A Select Transient and Family Hotel Lenox Avenue at 145th Street Telephone Audubon 3976 The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 1, 1930 By R. W. TALIAFERO inumerous persons who play Bridge believe that the same system of play is used at No Trump as at a Democrat, and that would be the same. Such is a very erroneous impression. There is not even a similarity between the No Trump and the Sui-kid play. The thirteen leads. The Original lead is the one to the first trick, made by the player to the left of the person securing the blind lead to differentiate it from the other twelve, and because it is made before the Dummy cards are exposed, this is his lead. The contract and even lets him go or achieve a Siam, simply because the person making the leaf did not choose a logical The Blind Lead The blind lead is without a double one of the most important leads the defense makes, and for that reason, alone, it should be sound and logical. Expert players try to keep the blind lead playing on defense, from the Blind lead to set the contract. By that, they make a lead that will result in the securing of sufficient tricks before the Declarer can ever get his suit or suit, or his partner during the Auction. Some players always lead their partners suit first, whether they have suits of their own that have trick winning possibilities or not. Such is not always advisable, and then the leader must be guided solely by the contents of his hand in making the Blind lead. The Proper Fight The proper way to fight a No Trump is through the establishment of suits, of which either you or your partner are long. But this is foolish against a suit contract, because before establishing a suit, you must hasten the Declarer's trumps, which in itself is rather difficult, and almost impossible. Against a suit contract the winner's first purpose should be to win tricks with his own and his partner's cards because the partner can dislodge a No Trump contract, the first purpose of the leader should be to establish his own or his partners' suits so as to win tricks with low cards as well as with high ones. Important Principle A very important principle in leading applies to the leads of the Queen, Jack, Ten or Nine. The lead of any one of these cards denies the presence of the Queen, next above the card led. For example, the lead of the Queen, negatives the possibility of the hand containing the King, denies the presence of a mutte probable in a Sutbid, and a certainity at No Trump. With the exception of the KING FROM ACE-KING OF THE KING FROM CARD-I-MEDIATELY ABOVE IT BE IN THE LEADER'S HAND. A SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS (with the exception of Ace-King) FROM CARD-I-MEDIATELY ABOVE IT BE IN THE LEADER'S HAND. A SEQUENCE is two or more cards in proximate relation as to denomination, such as: Queen-Jack, Jack-Ten, Ten-Nine or King-Queen). The Best Lead When you are playing against a Suit-contract, leading the highest card your hand contains of the suit your partner bid, is usually the best lead; but with Ace-King-Jack in another suit, or even with Ace-King, the lead of the King before opening partner's suit is advisable. King-Queen-Jack in another suit justifies leading it at least once in preference to partner's suit. Except with the above named holdings, the partner's suit should be led unless the hand contains a singleton of another suit. Leading a singleton for a ruff may save game; or, again, it may make game easy for Declarer. It is impossible to give a fixed rule as to when to lend a singleton but it may be emphatically stated that it SHOULD NOT BE LED WITH FOUR (OR MORE) TRUMPS HEADED BY AN HONOR AND THAT IT IS RARELY WISE TO LEAD A SINGLETON IF THE HAND CONTAINS FOUR TRUMPS OF ANY SIZE. With trump length, it is generally better to force adverse strength than to ask for a ruff. Laws of Auction Bridge 123) A the deal begins after the cut, and ends when the last card has been placed in the player's hand.

The pack is not incorrect on account of a missing card if found in the still pack, among other cards. The pack must be the same as it makes possible that such a card was part of the pack during the deal. Any player may search for it; if it be not found, there must be by the same dealer with a correct pack. NEW DEAL (Optional) 16. During the deal, any player who has not looked at any of his cards may demand (a) If the wrong player deal: If the dealer cut the cut, or deal with the wrong deal is by proper deal with his own pack.

"ALL-WAYS" Baltimore's Best Dentists By FAITH WOODSON WHITEVILLE, N.C.—To the white man, people are of two kinds—black and white. There is no other color; but the Indians of Columbus County (N.C.) think differently. In fact, they think so differently; that they refuse to go to school. Indians they are, but in their veins flow blood of black, red and white races. When school opened in September, near Christian Plain, N.C., these warriors and squaws said in no uncertain terms, "Me want Indian teacher!" But the superintendent said: "I can't find one. But I'll get you a white teacher." However, after a few war dances, the chief spoke out in a great voice and declared that his folks did not want a pale face and, furthermore—well, it all meant that they wanted a red man to teach the three "BS". Since no qualified man could be a red man as fair, yes, almost as white as this paper, was sent. But this was just another insult to the Indian dignity — sending a colored person. With a loud cry that rent the valleys, the squaws brought their children away from this "terrible school". So now. In this inck o the valleys, the squaws came as little colts, just as their ancestors did. They can't go to a white school; they will not go to a colored school; S they don't go anywhere.

It'sNobody'sBusiness BY THE RAMBLER WHETHER it's true, is of course, a matter for you to decide, but anyway, the story has finally reached the ears of this colyumist as to why a certain big ofay theatrical producer, who they say has so much money he really doesn't know just how much he really has, refused to take the risk of producing a bronzed musical that appeared to have the makings of a sure-fire hit. appeared to have comedians, dancers, singers, and specialty artists. The book, lyrics and songs seemed to have the proper punch, but still the magnate was skeptical. "You know," he said to the madura gentilhomme who was soliciting his support, "there is something about the whole thing that makes me a little shaky about taking the chance, and I'm going to be frank enough to tell you."

CROWD JAMS THEATRE AT BLACK-WHITE SHOW Burlesque Rules Stage at Royal During First Half of Offering. Burlesque, of a questionable variety, and spread on a little too thick, would, if eliminated, make of the black and white revue, now playing the Royal Theatre, an appetizing entertainment dish. The ofay section of the show brings Baltimore street to Pennsylvania Avenue with striking reality, and on opening day as the crowd jammed the house for the matinee show, the loud applause that greeted the jokes of double entendre indicated that the audience was pleased with the type of fare offered. half dozen principals and a chorus, the contribution to the white offering being the work of an eccentric dancer who was exceptionally clever, a parody song by the leading man and leading lady and some of the jokes of the jokes, however, were off color for a musical revue house. But when a chorus of bronzed, lithe stepping maiden: scampered, slurred, and rushed, half the applause was deafening, and it was not long before Edgar Martin and Apus Brooks, comedians, laughed laughs with their, absurd banter.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 1, 1930 Here is an Intimate Story of One of the Highest-Salaried Youngsters in the Country. Youngsters in the Country. The house was a medium-sized stucco of vivid yellow, surrounded by giant bushes of Australian holly whose green formed a pleasing contrast to the color of the house. A violet green the bungalow, and upon it two children played. The boy was little Farina, of Hal Roach's "Our Gang." The girl was his sister, who is sometimes named Rose, and were dressed simply in little blue overall play-suits. Both spoke a shy friendly greeting as I came up the walk and then scampered around to the back door. I opened the door opened to admit me they were smiling confidently at me from behind their mother. Farina's mother is a small, brown from Boston and they still talk with an unmistakable Eastern accent, that is all except Farina, for living all his life in California his speech is that in California and properly placed they lack that overdone properness that is found in his mother's speech. To all the world the little eight-year-old star is Farina, and that his mother is he "When Allen, which, by the way, is Farina's real name, was a little too, he had the sweetest disposition of his life. He was also the one she smiled. "I thought so. He would play for hours and he was always smiling. He brought so much joy and sunshine into our home that he was the most prominent propriate as Sonny Boy for him. And Sonny Boy he had always been to us." I learned from the mother that the name "Farina" had been given to her by her mother, Dios. The name, because it had a feminine ending, is partly responsible for the widely circulated story that Farina is a girl. I say partly responsible, but just as potent helped the ruler alone. Parina's debut into movie-land is really strange than fiction. When Parina was just a baby, Sunshine Sammy was at the zenith of his film career, and he had been sent out by the studio to find a little colored boy about eighteen months old with long hair, to play sister to Sammy in a picture. Mr. Morrison hunted all day and was taken to the search father he remembered that he had to stop by the grocers for some provisions for dinner. The good-natured grocery-man noted Mr. Morrison's dejected look and asked what the trouble was. Sammy was warded search for a colored boy with long hair. "Why, I know just the little fellow you want," the groceryman informed the door opened and in walked Mama Hoskins and her little Son Boy. Now, at home, there had been many an argument about cutting Sonny Boy's hair. Papa Hoskins argued that he should not give a girl a Mom Hoskins said that he looked too cute to have his hair cut. So much to the dismay of Papa Hoskins, Sonny Boy's hair grew and grew, and today it is still growing, for the public will not have Farina without her. Since Farina was eighteen months old, he has been in pictures, sometimes in dresses, sometimes in trousers. To one half the world he is a girl, to the other half, a boy. But his mother told me in strictest confidence that at least she usually suppose that at least the mother should know. The last and most convincing reason why Farina is often thought to be a girl was brought out to "our" man an entrepreneur on an eastern tour. Many an entrepreneur fake Farina on an unexpected public. As the Gang went from town to town, Mrs. Hoskins was surprised to hear on all sides, "Oh, I saw Farina she was here last year." But, my "But my son has never been East before," she would remonstrate. At another city a lady seated near her said: "You would never think that Farina was a girl, would you?" as Farina appeared on the stage. But he hust. Farina is a boy," Marina said. "Martha tried to differ from you," the lady answered politely, "but two years ago when Farina and her mother were here, they stopped with me and I KNOW that she is a girl." Farina is Farina's mother." The lady said she rather hard and I know she thought so. I was not telling the truth, though she was too polite to say so. So the facts that Farina made his screen debut playing little girl parts, coupled with girls going about the country making appearances, gave the public good reason to think of him as such. I now turned my attention to the juvenile star who had sat quietly by his mother during our conversation. Did you have a fine time on your tour, "I" asked to break the ice. "Did I? I should say I did." He found me an appreciative listener, so he continued: "We went everywhere. We met lots of mayors from different towns, we went to all the parks, we went on a big yacht and we went up in an airplane." "My, but that must have been exclosing." "It was," he agreed. We had become fast friends by this time. Farina had left his mother and was now stalking beside me. "Nin't it lots of fun to work in pictures?" "Well, it used to be" he said sober. ly, "but we're making talkies now and you have to be so quiet. We used to play on the set when we didn't have to work on them and cause whatever you picture comes out and it'll run the picture." I didn't know how technically correct Farina's explanation was but I did know that he understood pet pictures as necessary in timing sound pictures. Of all the pictures Farina has made he likes "Dog Heaven" best. "I like all kinds of animals but I like dogs best, don't you?" "Yes," he answered. "next to flowers and flowers I like dogs best. Have you a dog?" "No," he admitted. He looked rather disappointed then brightened up and said, "But I have a pet picture." "What is his name?" I asked. "Oh, he has his name?" I asked. "Oh, he has any?" I asked. "Burst of imagination seized Farina." I know; let's call him Nameless. Yes, that's a good name. Nameless. Yes I wish I could keep Pete with me." "Who is Pete?" I asked him. "Who Is Few? Pete. Pete the dog that plays with us. He the pictures." Parina had forsaken Nameless and gons back to his first love. Farina is one of the most natural children I know. He has not been spoiled by overfond parents. He is not impressed by the kindness of his home. He is just a normal eight-year-old boy. He is always neatly dressed but never overdressed. I turned from him and addressed his mother. Farina has no wish to be older, but his conversation so he politely interrupted our conversation and asked whether he and his sister might go out of doors to play. "I'm glad you," he smiled and put out his hand. "I guess sister and I will skip along." As I was leaving the Hoskins home the two waved as they bid me goodbye. "Come back again sometime," Farinacci noted. As I walked down the street, I remembered Harold Lloyd's comment upon Farina. He says: "Farina is not only one of our smallest, but one of our most natural motion picture actors." And so farina's home had shown why. He is being reared to be a natural child. There is nothing superficial in the Hoskins home and Farina does not think of himself as a great little actor, he still thinks of himself as a little actor, and he is never happier than when playing with his sister, who is known to the movie world as, little Mango CLEVELAND THEATRES CLEVELAND — Coleridge Taylor's "Sugar Cane" company with Sox Jenkins, Marie Williams, Horace Henderson and the Hardy Brothers' orchestra support by his choir, other good actors are doing the week here.

SMALL GROUP HEARS THE FISK SINGERS CLEVELAND. — A surprisingly small crowd were on hand Tuesday night to hear a pleasurable contribution to the season's choral-music event in the center Hall by the Fisk Jubilee Singers. The personnel of the singers consists of Miss Anna Goodwin, Mrs. Joseph A Myers, Carl Barbour, Luther King, Ludie Collins and Jerome Writch. The program was given over largely to spirituals, which by reason of their indigenous tar far outstripped in character and vitality such anemic offerings as the carling of the 121st Psalm by Frank LaFarge and the 122nd by Lily Strickland with their slavish adherence to outworn and mediocre conventions.

The Natiou's Biggest All Negro Weekly Grand Old Lady of Theatre Closes Stage Career at 75 "Mother" Madison, Member of First "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Company, Retires as "Porgy" Completes Run. NEW YORK. (ANP.) — When "Porgy" closed in Philadelphia, recently, it marked the final stage appearances of the grand old lady of the colored theatre. Mother Madison, as she is known to me, of the cast, connected the run of the sensational drama of Charleston being one of the original members of the cast. When the Theater Guild decided to Put on "Porgy," a white actress of Mother Madison, her her to cast portray the company, asking that the seventy-three-year actress be given a chance with the company. After much discussion, it was decided to give her a chance. She made good in the role of "Amie" and was one of the best liked member and in playgrounds and public schools of our district. SAYS ART MFLTS RACIAL BARRIERS CLEVELAND, Ohio. — The field art represents the best way of training better race relations between Negro and white man, said Russell Jelife, head resident of Playbill Settlement, 2239 E. 361th Street, said in a report to Community Officials. "We give annually from one to three numbers at the children's programs of the Museum of Art, Jelife continued. "They consist of spirituals and many plays. Simplified programs are given to libraries and in playgrounds and public schools of our district." The entire company loved Mother Madison and in celebrating her seventy-fourth and seventy-fifth anniversaries, fellow Thespians gave two parties for the old lady Jill entirely grateful and she carried the assurance of the actors who appeared with her both in this country and abroad. In Uncle Tom Known for years, Mother Madison was a member of the first company to play "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in England. She traveled to Liverpool that company and has had her activities on the stage have been numerous, she having been with a number of shows. But to her, "Porgy" was the greatest. A life-time ambition was satisfied for her in this work, she calculated money out of her ability to enable her to enter a home for the aged to spend the remaining days of her life in comparative ease and without financial worries. Could Play Banjo An accomplished banjoist, Mother Madison entertained the company on their long road trips with songs in German, Spanish, and French. An interesting sibling character, her character who were not so particular about associating with the goat, another valuable adjunct to the show. The only person who could get any peace out of the situation was the member of her legged animal was Mother Madison. When the old goat was cross and crabbed and refused to have anything to do with anyone else Mother Madison could make him behave. And the trousers that that goat was the diaric incar- Got Goat's Goat He was the personal object of Mother Madison's attentions and alone, without his help, even when. Even the director was driven to despair over that animal's antics but when the pinch came it was always Madison who made him perform. The old lady is far from being helpless, her bright eyes twinkling as she fingers her beloved banjo and hums in a strong evenness of the favorites, which one amuses her. Thus passes from the center of the stage one of the few oldtimmers who have survived the buffeting of the uncertainties of stage life into a life of comparative ease and comfort, happen in the face of a brilliant career ending with one of the outstanding hits of all time.

PERFORMERS FEAR TO LEAVE NEW YORK Stage Stars Prefer to Take Chance at Getting Job in Harlem. GIRLS SUFFER ON ROAD Out-of-Town Managers Won't Pay. Actor Says. town houses get such poor shows is due to the failure of stars and girls wanting to leave New York. Blackman backs up his argument in many ways. First, he declares the New York houses pay better guarantees and because of this, the managers are able to offer their actors better wages. Second, the managers are under the team of indian of lack of capital in producing a hit, there are exceptions to this rule. Blackman, and he names some of the leading producers as examples. But on the whole, the colored theatrical profession is suffering because these New York struck stars fail to realize that they must leave Harlem. Choruses Suffer Then, too, Blackmon says that some unscrupulous managers have made it tough on the girls who leave New York and sometimes are stranded long distances from home. This is one of the things which the colored producers have brought to bear on themselves, and they have given them three occasions, the plays on these managers took out, shopped on the road because of sameness of type and lack of costumes, the music and pretty girls, with the chorus girls all around, with the chorus girls bearing the brunt of the rainfortune. Blackmon then told of several experiences he had sustained. They were not the recent failure of the "West End Players" who got off to a splendid start with "Seventh Heaven," starring Ida Anderson. A sterling cast with real actors, the manager was through in this instance, the manager was not a colored man. He told of the other managers who are not wanted in the game because they don't play square with their children, but their shows suffered because of the managers' shortcomings.

One of the principle doctrines of the Pharisees, that what must be true if all the important people believed in it. One of the principle doctrines of modern times is the building of false standards. This is the new idea. The Pharisees opposed those who believed in Christ on the basis that none of the rulers of the Pharisees believed in Him.

AFRO RADIO HELPS CHOOSING THE RIGHT GRID LEAK The question of the right grid leak for a receiver depends upon the whims of the owner. Where the receiver distance is greater, quality being essential, the higher the resistance of the grid leak, the greater will be the sensitivity of the tube to weak or distant stations. And it will not be forgotten, the receiver will be tuned to tone distortion on local stations. When distance is the one consideration, a grid leak of from one to megohmms may be desired, a grid leak of as low as one-half megohm will generally prove satisfactory.

It was difficult to decide which type of jazz, but the spirit of modern jazz presented by Paul Meeres created perhaps the greatest furure of the evening. He typified jazz, and, responds, the couple appeared with him in an encore. The final number was a soft-shoe dance by the couple. Their costumes were elegant and their entertainment of high quality.

This is Station A-F-R-O, broadcasting its weekly hoakum over the Circulation System, and for the past hour (provided you have section of what is available) before scanning this) you have been getting real news. This program will be continued with a discussion of the dances. Only those that were VERY good will come under the critic's lens, so there will be very few, if any, wise cracks made. "Hooch" The adage that drinks that have been aged in wood are better than the new product was demonstrated at Eks' Hall. Fired, the whole room was the second serving of "Hooch" by the Hoskins Players to the public. Even this little jazz classic and coiffure review was better after a few weeks in the woods. The flame was hot, but this one was sizzling, and why? The reasons are these: first, that Sheldon Hoskins, Audrey H. Helen Rich, James Pettigrew, Milton Simms, and their co-players had overcome their first-night nervousness, and secondly, they had made a hit by their first efforts and had publicize their counts. As stated, on the first presentation of this little playlet the gang was intoxicated with the manner in which the thing was put over, and execution—no nervousness, and added precision. We are looking forward to the time when the players, under the direction of Sheldon Hoskins, present their next sketch, especially are the players who have been Dance so beautifully come again by Miss Lorette, Wallace and Clarence Carter. The Lady Antlers The same evening (Friday) the lady Antlers, or Elders, held their cabaret dance. Pardon the previous sentence. The Harper, or Harper, is a unique little entertainment in the form of Cabaret and Fashion Show. The costumes were pretty, the music furnished by the cabaret dancers, and the cabaret dancing was fair. Dancing Class This past Saturday night found us reviewing the dancing classes at the Odd Fellows and the Monumental hall. The first, at the Odd Fellows' is known as the Modernist Club with Bill Gambay as manager, while the latter at the Elks' auditorium is the presentation of Ike Dixon, the old master, with his own broadcasting studio. Both dances were worth attending. The difference is mostly in the crowds. The wampus-doing collegians frequent the Odd Fellows while the host and host-debs are patrons at the Elks' "And the night following (which incidentally was Sunday) the Odd Fellows again held the spot-light. This was caused by Bob Sullivan holding his second Sunday Mid-Nite Dance. It was also the second appearance of Percy Glasser's Krazy Katz Orchestra, who made as good a showing on their second as they did on their first appearance. Both occasions were hot American Legion Monday 'round us weary and foot-sore from scuffing to the hot music heard at the five dances just named this week, and the Legion boys. They are officially known as the Walter Green Post. It was so humid and hot that the thermometer cracked. The boys maintained a beautiful and unique decorations. Fletcher Henderson Then to the New Albert we hobbled, and to our cars' delight and feets' agony, there was Fletcher Henderson and his so styled new dress, come direct from the Graystone Ballroom at Detroit, Michigan. The boys, as usual let loose, and things were just too bad for those whose feet ached, and ours were in that condition from gliding, scuffing and the like. Penn Hotel From there we went hot-foot to the Penn Hotel where we found the ballroom and the celebration with cherry pie and hatchet. By this time we were singing our own special chant of the hoots, and Regular Fellows' Club with their special Collegiate Jungle dance at the Penn Hotel. These boys, who have been striking the nail on the head of the ballroom, lose mighty wallop when they gave this dance. The Sub-debs, and all of their species, made a whoopee time to the strains of the Steppean Melody Boys. There is no speeched cry at the corners. So use your intelligence. Silk Tonners Before we go further, we wish to interrupt this program long enough to state: Through the courtesy of the Ike Dance promotion establishment, we wish to announce a new line of jazz in their store-rooms. On the night of March 6, Zack White and his "Silk Toppers" will perform at Auditorium. The outfit is arriving from the West, and from information, seems as though they are of the best. The Bal des Arts are "Bigger and Bolder ever," a song hit, and "A Little Kiss Each Morning and a Little Kiss Each Night," is another. The boys at the Bal des Arts were born in their year than ever, and they did not want a kiss in the morning or one at night; they wanted a continuous or non-stop "kiss" that lasted with unsurpassed bizziness. The fact is, the ball, which was officially known as the "Dawn in the Jungle," really lasted until . . . that hour. Hence the lack of time we are forced to discontinue details of the affair, until the next broadcast.

PART II (Incontinued from Last Week) The next day was Thursday, the night of the full moon, and a cloudiness of a glorious evening. Sina, up slightly earlier than opened the window of her kitchen and looked toward Henderson. Far away, tainly, a column or black fabric of the black cotton mill. The warm burning breeze tingled her food as she hungrily filled her food with long deep draughts. This was Thanksgiving, but she wondered, as she watched the last of the ambering before the breeze, if she would be thankful for the events of when it had passed. the car. Ralph Baightuck and his sister came over from Henderson town for dinner, David had asked them himself, and she strongly premonition that someone would go wrong. Ralph David had been very good in college, but they had been at the same time, and David had won, but had never ceased to care, and fact stood preeminently out. David had won which forecasted evil, he had him, because she had seen him, because she had seemed to realize the fulfillment of a Theory. When he had turned to science, she had thought it would make little or no difference, but fortunate David, not satisfied idol, even if he were another? She felt a wave of concluding, conflicting emotions, as she tasked the window and turned to Wish all he, and she wished it to spend the day alone with David; longed to understand him and his idea of life. But morning soon gave way to misjudge, and cam-ron cam- on, hazy and blue and Ralph and his sister, Marion, came, and Edna thought she felt something sink within her. And she kissed him. And his sister, Marion, what a smartly cured chap! The' she would most probably have had a car. Edna had a car with which they played the game of life, the masterful, automotive and seemingly accustomed men, which characterized They were good friends, the classmates and Baulkins, and Ed had been as one of the latter, before he made it over to her every day, it seemed a fena that they lived in different fields. The gay dinners, and dances of which Ralph liked so freely, seemed bits of to her name before they added them, she asked herself; why had he brought beings from the world in which she longed to be once more in the same body, to conversation, she had a chance to compare the two men: David, her love, her husband—and again she assured herself that she love David, who controlled expression, well, but reserved dress, and, handsome, for David was handsome, handsomeness accentuated by the even tone of his winning personality, and Philip coyatized his ideal, and the glamorous muscle, well groomed. As she cared them, hers was an animal known only by those who stood on the uncertain ground of the unconventional domain of the unconventional — freedom of action, youth, passion-life. What is this thing, love, anyway she pondered, does it really exist as a fena, a will-o'the-wisp? She had thought, and still believed that, she loved David, and that she was not strong and aggressive enough to make her feel secure and satisfied? Was it that David had really loved or was it due entirely to the way she was treated, ways was not of her world? She felt somewhat faint, but the end of the dinner came opportunity for her rescue, they would have to come for now, thought. The would have a few moments once while she removed the dishes; so, so, for she had scarcely done anything into the dining room to an- AFRO hey you to be until you "I'll never be content, nor will I allow you to be until you yet me teach you how to really live ife in its funes—every dug." nounce, his temporary absence, "The building committee has sent for me, Ed, dear," he told her. "an unexpected meeting, and Marion is goin to be kind enough to drive me over," he added as he pulled on his gloves. Alone with Ralph, just what she had tried to avoid! In a moment after David and Marion left he was standing in the doorway of the kitchen; he stepped toward her with his arms extended: "Edna—Edna." There was a pleading tone in his voice. "Edna.—I—you know I love you, I always." "No, no, Ralph," she broke in, "you mustn't talk to me like that. I don't love you, I love David. I love David, Ralph, and I've told you that over and over again." He leaned against the door as if for support, "I know. I know," he went on, "you've made that plain enough, but I still love you and—" Again she cut in, for she knew only to well what he would have said: "Please Ralph, please," she pleaded, "please, go on back into the parlor, please." For an answer he crushed her in his arms, and kissed her again and again, burning, passionate lingering kisses. Finally he held her at arm's length, his breast heaving. "You know Eda," he painted, "I'll never forget you. I'll be here, until you let me teach you how to really live, life in its fulness." "I'll never be content, nor will yet me teach you how to real dreg." every dreg" She was crying almost aloud now. "Will you go-now?" she sobbed, trying to regain her equanimity. "Will you please go?" she dared, but will you promise to come over to Henderson next week to the dance — please Edna, just one night. David will be gone to stay with your mother, she wants you to have some pleasure like other girls your age, please Edna, come, you know you want to — come back again and live, to the devil with conventions, and people think, come back and live." "Oh, Ralph I—I—" On Ralph. He waited for the rest of her answer, but stalked off to the parlor. It was not long before David and Marion returned, chatting friendly, and the afternoon resumed its cheerful trend for everyone but Edna, who somehow managed to present a smiling trout. So they began to feed the first lengthened themselves on the leaf-carpeted lawn. The parsonage door closed and another night began. Sleep Aspirin long evaded Edna, as it had done many times before; she kept hearing Ralph in his temperamental, confident tone, saying to the devil to calm him and then Davis's calm, sober words: barbed and charged and bloody—so be careful. So the night, with its moonlit witcheries watched in silence, while Ralph stooled in cleansing dew, a nightly token of His lingering love, and the world slept. Ralph Baulknight parked his smart sedan in front of his office on one of Henderson's leading streets, triple windows on which his name was engraved. He smiled rather egotistically as his eyes caught sight of the gilt, lettering: W. RALPH BAUKIGHT — DENTAL SURGEON He had wanted to be a dentist—he was. He had wanted to be a popular society leader—he was. His folks had nicely seen to it that he, he had nicely seen to it that he, he had Erica. If I only got her out of that darn parsonage once more," he told himself, as he climbed the stairs. "I'll be able to talk to her, as I've wanted to for some reason, but I haven't enough to come over tonight as I asked her?" His anxiety was short-lived, for as he entered, his maid I allow you to be until you live life in its funess—every called his attention to a blue envelope placed uprightly on his desk. He read: "Ralph, I am in Henderson, but I'd rather not go to the dance—you see Ralph, you see the sure to find if I go. I certainly would like to go though." It was signed—Edna. So she was in Henderson, she HAD come, he almost shouted aloud as he tore up the floor. He waited his flinny excuse, he thought, her note, she knows she wants to go. So eight o'clock found him parking his sedan in front of the McMaster cottage on Oa. avenue. The night was dark, but slightly, not a cloud marred the diademed glory of the skies. A light burned in the parlor, and as Ralph light, light as, along the white gravel walkway, he thought of the day's engagement, only to find David enjoying a "previous engagement—but not so tonight. Mrs. McMaster answered his knock: "Hello. Mr. Baulkway, come in, I was just telling Edna I Edina came in from the adjoining room, and Ralph thought as had never seen her look so irresistibly beautiful. She wore a charming gown with a bow on her shoulders rose superbly. "Hello Ralph," she said, as she moved gracefully to where he stood. "Didn't you get my note?" She asked. "You know you want to go, you know you want to you even dressed." She did not answer him, she knew she had lost. The last thread of resistance to the mysterious lure she snapped, she told Ralph, she craved a few more days of life in his world, a world which David had forsaken. As she stepped, warmly wrapped, into the comfortable luxury of his apartment, she remembered again, David's cold words, "barbed and charged and bloody—so be careful." Maybe so, she thought, but tonight at least, she was going to see it with a glimpse—to the devil with conventions. The auditorium of the Elks' Rest was a thing of beauty this night; shaded red and blue lights nugged their sirtiness with the multi-colored evening gowns of the orchestra, effected effect. Ambering leaves from autumn's ease, lined the walls, while ferns and potted plants of every description, almost hid the four-piece college orchestra, which furnished the music. Like the snap of a band, long under strain. Edna swung into the spirit of the night, answered the call of life. Again and again, until the last waltz, she was surprised her ease of movement, so it was a decidedly different woman who rode along Oak Avenue, with Ralph Baumkight, long after midnight; a woman determined to leave the cloistered ways of conventions strong and foll of follow the lure of the glamorous. "Please, Edna." Baumkight pleaded, as they parked in front of her The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 1, 1930 mother's home, "please just one kiss, as a perfect ending to the most wonderful night I have even known." Ethnical darling. "I always want you can't see you see—you were made for me and my world, instead of—" He kissed her passionately, once again, and despite heriliation to she could freer herself from his stormy passion, and watched him ride away, the waning moon hung low in the sky, and somewhere nearby, a restless sparrow, twittered of the dawning. What Would You Be MARIE, I've got a lodger f boyhood chum of mine. gether. Lived on the s Phillips. He won't be a bit of Stright as a die that chap." Spring always returns early to Carolina, lest she miss one perfumed breath! of the jonquils, one lily flush of the violets, one rose blossom of the comfortable warmth, beneath a serenely blue sky. Dr. Johnson sat in his office, in his spacious new parsonage, and he scarcely noticed the huge buildings, which studded the hand skylines; for the inevitable hand of industry, had metamorphosed Cedar Springs into a prosperous, wealthy city, a textile and business center of the South. And if the hand of industry had been busy, so had the rest of the city, from tapestry from the fragile threads of some lives. Two letters lay open before him on the square oak desk, one beneath each hand, the other in a well trained, flowing hand. With aching heart he recalls his wandering gaze, to look upon, it for perhaps the ten thousand lines on his desk, since he first found it. It is only a note. His eyes follow the lines, but he does not read, for only too well he know every heart. He repeats them to himself. "Dear David; I guess you will call me yellow, a quitter, a sneak, and maybe an am, but I want freedom, and I have been taken it, and sooner or later you would have been dishonored thereby, it I remained; so I'm going away, and I want to feel that I love you, but we just weren't meant for each other; believe me, when I say that no man is more dear—Edaa. The other is longer in his eyes so we can hear words; "And it will allow me, I will return"—Edaa. Here he was interrupted by the counselor, who be called became each day, more and more essential to his life—Marie. Marie was bringing in the morning's mail: "Lots and lots of mail this morning." Doctor. He the answered, "More work for you then." "And for you too." As she left the room, with a few more kind words, he thought of her and of himself. Kind, thoughtful, tender, and kind, she remembered the years of Edna's absence have meant, had it not been for her! Truly enough she was only his secretary, but she was a perfect type of woman. She was kind, what was needed most for his comfort, always seeking to lighten his burden. Sacrificing and asking for help, she was the rather meagre salary the church paid her as his secretary. But had she not unconsciously evoked a kind of reward? For sometime he womenself was unconsciously murmured, "love her dearly, God help me." Later that day, Marie Carroll, plainly dressed, sat at her desk in a well appointed room in the spacious, beautiful parsonage, answering the pastor's letters. She always took a kind of prideful pleasure in telling it a special honor to be in the pastor's confidence. She felt too, that if fate were kind, he would some day say the words she most wanted denied that she loved him, as she could and would, never love another. She pictured, for a moment, herself rightfully his, to do with as he chose, a counterpart of his illustrious personality, a zoookeeper, a soother to his wounds — his wife. But the whimsical gods do not allow a picture perfect, therefore she remembered with a sickening reality, that the occupant of her shrine, had, somewhere in the world — a woman known as his wife. By the code of the conventional law — "Marie? He had been, watching her from the doorway, and as if he had known her thoughts, he said: I forgot to tell you that Mrs. Johnson is coming home in the morning and if you would kindly help me look after her--you know--er she has--er she's not well." "Oh, no. no. I can't. I can't. I could never go through with it--I'll go." "Ok Marie. he faltered, then--" You see I need you--so--God help me: Marie I love you." "Oh David. she whispered, as she tenderly pulled his face down to hers, "I'd dc it. I'll do--I'll do anything for you. David. I'll follow you to the end of the world and everybody and thirsty--oh, I love you so." Later as the afternoon waned, he stood on the front porch: of the parsonage, admiring the gentle beauty of the violets, from the early days, and admired the so much is human affection like them, he mused--so very hard to understand. So the wanderer returned to her husband's cloistered ways, resignedly and broken in spirit. April had brought the roses and evening basked the spring sun in hazy radiance and romance rode the winged and perfumed breezes of the night. They sat on the east porch of the beautiful; parsnage, watching the trees. It was warm, but she was wrapped, for as he had said, she indeed was not well. She had not talked much about her trip, which had lasted. seven years. When David as he sat listening to her, that she would never tire of telling him of the issues she had learned. But attention, and her voice took over, conversationalness, a seriousness he had never noticed. "David," she began. "I guess you know that I'm not going to be here long—I'm going to again, David, but I think it will be a time than seven years this time." "Oh. Edna." he cut in, trying his best to keep her from taking a bite. "I was known for sometime, now." Edna, stop talking crazyly; you arent, ever going "Kind, lovable David," she said, "just like you to try to keep me from thinking that way. be true just the same—and David, have you ever seen Marie—have you—what of girl you should have—oh, what a heaven my life would have been. if I had just been that type; I would never see you and gone away, seems to know everything about you, the life you like—oh, she just sees life your way. David—can't you see what I mean?—after I'm gone— He camouflaged impatience, "Oh What Would You Have Done? MARIE, I've got a lodger for our back room. He's a boyhood chum of mine. We used to go to school together. Lived on the same block. Name's Bob Phillips. He won't be a bit of trouble—you'll like him. Stright as a die that chap." Straight as a deer, this I got this information from my husband between mouthfuls one morning some weeks ago as we sat at the breakfast table. I didn't like the idea of taking in a roomer, but since the rent was so high and we really had the room to spare, there was no use being foolish. As it would take quite a financial load off Jack's shoulders, I made no objection. After all, one must do in Rome what the Romans do, and since most of the friends we had made in New York in the few months we'd been there also took an extra roomer, I thought it would be no harm, especially considering that Bob Phillips was an old friend of Jack's. For years my husband had been a pullman Porter on the New York Central. We had lived for the first four years of our marriage in Albany. Then a new run had forged between me and moved away. I don't like the wider spaces I prefer; the wider spaces I felt for fear he'd think me a tool, of the countryside, but a wife must: "I'd rather go out with you, my dear," stick to her husband. Bob Phillips came that afternoon. I had expected just some ordinary chap but this tall, brown, stately and handsome handshake impressed me. He was smartly but not flashily dressed. He had deep, burning eyes, high forehead, a firm grip, gliding over the crowd, a handsome struck me as being a little over-polite as he held my hand over-long and boomed the conventional greeting with a heavy voice. I put him down and now despite a little touch forbidding "Well, well, well! This certainly is a rare treat. Jack," roared Bob at dinner that evening. "Never thought I'd ever see you, but just put my table by. Goby, old chap, it certainly is a treat. Certainly is. Member when we used to play ball down the block and the kid Widow Smith's window? Sanaaj did a peck o' fun when we were kids? Jack agreed. He was happy as a child and I was glad I had an objection to the roomer apparel; to be a gentleman and one with plenty of money. It is good to have such friends. Next morning, Jack left on his run to the roomer, "Don't steal, my wife, Bob" he called back jokingly as he went out of the apartment. Bob laughed good-natured, "That boy's a hot sketch, he excused me smiled with him." It was nice to have someone of culture and intellect to talk to while Jack was away, learned a lesson, and being the first week of his stalk with us that he had traveled extensively in Europe and South America. He discussed learnedly and easily subject to change, it was quite an education to be in his company. And yet I was glad when Jack would come off his run. I couldn't get over an uneasy feeling about being in the house with Bob. He appeared a perfect gentleman but he was altogether too perfect to trust. I seemed to detect a dangerous note under his suspicious dangerous fire, at times, in his searching eyes. After a month, his month had passed, however, my messiness gradually dissipated. Still I wondered why Bob didn't work and yet, managed to have money. "Say, Marie," asked Jack one night at the dinner table when Bob had stepped out "any time you want to go to any of these movies or dances and I'm at home, you can go with Bob. No use sitting here, of course, in a regular fellow to the soul of discretion. I won't mind it at all. I will be glad to have you" Edna, "you're going to talk that way, I'm going to touch," He held his hand, with a match light; "oh, it's time for me to go anyway, I have a meeting—you stay here on the porch and get this air, it's good for you. I'll be back in an hour—and I'll bring you some- He left her, and as he did, she made her more comfortable in her large chair. She looked toward Henderson, and she looked toward Ralph. Ralph Baukney, so importantly eliminated from the equation of her life, by the invisible hand of fate. He was my type, she thought, or later just do not fit in the scheme. She is gone, and soon I must go—we've lost all but; even now I can't see it as a crime. I loved David, but we just didn't fit—and again she thought that what she said had been his happiness, she had four and a haver, if it had been real happiness or even any kind of happiness at all; anyway it had been what she had wanted. Ralph, who had her hair, hisishes, and they spoiled the cup together, down to what he had termed the dress, Dances, dances, parties and more parties, cigarettes, dim lights, liquor—a full realization of theception of her face with her hands, as she thought of Ralph—cold—lifeless bleeding. All in a flash they came back to her. David's cold words—charged and barbed and barbed so be careful, since it ended remembrance: "Yo. he I'm back, and here's some ice cream for you, how do you feel?" "Pretty good. I need it. Some time chapped and they went again. I have Edna begin again on her story of what life had been. "You might not know it. David," she began. "but Marie is in love with you, and it will be a sin if you don't always be kind to her—she's so worthy." But he would not allow her to talk more. When April has had her say and departed, May brings her lafulp of roses for the crown of the reigning queen. Mysteriously glorious sunrises, and golden, mystic all are a part of her store. The old, gray windows of a late May bottle shaded the broken-bottle window of the parsonage bedroom for a moment, then a flaming sky told of the sun's approach. Edna sat parchment her bed, supported by the strong arms of her husband "Let me lay head against you, David—I need you." He took her into his arms, and told her to go to sleep, and in a moment he felt her relax, as a tired child would upon its mother's breast: tired lids rested over tired eyes, her hands tightly never found rawness, happiness relaxed, then rested—and soon, through the thickness of his shirt, he could feel the chill of her forehead.

You're too young to be sitting at home like an old woman. You're too young to be too much. Yu see I was a little scared of Bob Phillips. I couldn't explain why and I couldn't tell him I felt for fear he'd think me a fool. "I'd rather go out with you, my dear," Days passed. Days of I said, "but if there's anything, I especially want to see while you're out of town, I'll have Mr. Phillips take me." Bob Phillips took me to the Junior Ball at the Renaissance Casino. It was a formal affair. We were both in evening clothes and I'll say we made a fine looking couple. Bob's clothes seemed to be moulded around his slender, manly body, and I thought for holding me a little too closely, and gave me every attention. Women looked at me with envy. I couldn't help but feel the woman's natural pride, and I was natural with this man with the hypnotic eyes. I am so passionate and romantic, that I find it prudent to watch myself. We became more afterteresting, and joke about his different sweethearts in various parts of the world. I unconsciously became impressed with his manliness and good fellowship. I dropped some of my reservations on my outward incidents. I began to trust Bob. I went to cabarets with him two or three times. Then July came and with its coming Bob purchased a very pretty blue roadster. I couldn't imagine me when he seemed to have no means of support. And yet he paid his room rent and board regularly and frequently inviting me to go out with him. The Fourth of July, Jack had to work. Bob invoked to have our to comfortably hot in the city that I gladly acquiesced. By ten we were rolling over the smooth roads that led to cool glades and babbling brooks. I felt at peace with the world and utterly trustful as I rode beside my daughter whom I named as my best and safest gentleman friend. In a shady nook by a placid little pool we spread out our lunch. As a surprise Bob had brought along a real champagne in back of the kitchen. It was delicious with great chicken and salad. I felt languorous, contented and happy when the royal repast was finished. In an exultant mood I con-claimed "Gee, Bob could not doing this!" He could have eaten the second afterward but it was too late. "You can if you want to," he declared simply. He locked at me with new intensity and I grew rigid under his gaze. He moved closer to me. I wanted to escape. "Oh, why did I come?" I cried to myself. He went no further. Soon we were on our way back. Bob never mentioned so the incident. He helped me help and admire his restraint and yet I was disturbed by what he had said. I felt I should tell Jack, but I didn't. Good old jack, earnest, such a hard worker, such a hustler. He might not understand. He might not understand that Bob had meant nothing out of the way. We went out driving again and again. I could not help liking Bob more as time went on. If I could, company; to listen to him talk; to dance with him; to sit in the theatre beside him. I began to think about how happy he would be. God help me! I began to think of myself as the woman. I tried desperately to fight back the horrid idea that I was in love with Bob. I tried to go out anywhere with him, but there he was in the house, gai- ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION of indiscreet romance. not breath on my cheek. A thought that it was so cozy in his strong arms caused my face to blush with shame and I could not find his eyes gazing into mine. "You belong to me, Marie," he muttered, his voice hoarse with emotion. "Ive loved you since I first laid eyes on you. I wanted to see if my love was returned. I saw it in your with me, sweet. Just think how happy we shall be traveling about, seeing the fine places of the world. That's the life you were. That's the life you come with me? Oh, Marie. I love you. Answer me! Don't you love me?" I was overcome by emotion. I could only nod assent. Right that moment, I met Phillips. I had gone stark crazy over the man. I considered myself self-wonderingly. After what appeared to be years, I said, "We can't do it. Bob. We just can't do it. We can." Double-cross and too tired. It wouldn't be good, too tired. His lips curled. "So you still love him," he sneered. "I knew you weren't game. Do you think I can live away so easily. I can go another day. You're going with you understand. Then his voice broke again: 'Oh, Marie, I love you. All of these months I've tried to be loyal to Jack. I've kept my fingers off you when they itched to stroke you beautiful skin. Daring, please be with me.' "Wiree?" I breathed. "Oh, anywhere," he replied. "I've got money enough for both of us to live on, for the next ten years on and on and on." He's only a capable porter and chances are always will be. You don't belong with a fellow like that. He's just a poor sap who keep you in the washubst all of your day. "You haven't any children. Marie is earnest, insistent, threatening, soothing, persuasive. He pressured me boldly and expertly. I was as putty in his hands. We came home happy and bright-eyed. My loyalty to Jack never seemingly negligible. I felt forgotten, but this strange fascination. Still, he hesitated. Something kept telling me to wait, to take my time.

It means that the stomach nerves are over-stimulated and it is excess of acidity way to correct it is with an alkali, which neutralizes many times its volume in acid.

I began going out daily to avoid him. He would invite me to for a drive or would express no regrets and show no anger or disappointment. Finally I recovered from my panic and accepted his invitation. driving out of the barn. He went out to the same shady nook where we had pinicked before. The scene awoke memories. As we sat smoking and sipping champagne our backs against the great acrick tree, the hypnotic power of the man drawing me, drawing me, drawing me to him, with love pushing me along. I had stodd the strain of resistance so much my nerves were frayed. In swift glance characteristic of him, Bob must have read my mind. His strong arm gently encircled my waist and drew me close to him and before I could assistate he was I was a whirl of conflicting emotions. My body tingled and chilled alternately. My loyalty to jack, our home, our marriage force and the tempest that Bob's embezzlement but my infatuation for this handsome brown man weakened my efforts. "Oh, Bob." I cried, "please don't us spill our friendship Swe me. Bob must join for Jack's sake. Oh, we must!" He held me closer and I felt his GENUINE PHILIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid - HYDROGEN - ACID STOMACH - HEARTFUN - MENACE OAKS: NALGEA Walter White's Books Banned in Boston BOSTON, Mass. — Replying to an inquiry by a reader, Herbert W. Fliison, white, librarian of the Malden library, wrote last week that books by William N.A.A.C.P. secretary, are not worthy of being added to the library. The books banned are the novel, "The First," and the history of lynching, "Rope and Fugal." The latter which is a history of lynching in the United States since the year of 1830 is the most voluminous and authentic book on lynching in the English language. Bob kept urging me to go. Several days passed. Days of indiscreet rope and fugal could not put myself from Jack. The longer I thought of it when I was alone, the more I began to feel there was something fine like in Jack's room. I went to Bob's. Still, I had gone too far now to retrace my steps. My lover, my husband's chum, kept pressing me to go off with him. If I were loyal to Bob, I would always be infatuated with Bob. I did not go with him, and if I went with Bob, I knew I would always be remorseful over my disloyalty to my husband. I SHOULD I do? Oh, it's well enough for those of you who read this to say with finality what I ought to have done, but it is pretty hard to put yourself, in another person's place and judge fairly. All theasures I had dreamed about since school gave me in the months we had known each other. Jack had given me his love but very little else. Bob had the means to enable us to live in case Jack sold him made more than $150 a month; was just a proper bellow but, Bob I agreed to leave on Labor Day. I had put it off as long as possible. Our position was: no longer tenable. Bob bore feeling irritable. I couldn't bear facing the unsuspecting Jack any longer. The night before Labor Day, Bob took me to the Paradox Club, a swell cabaret. We danced and drank and played. I missed midnight. Bob spent money like past it. I wondered where he got it. He had always been tight-lipped on that subject. Sometimes I felt a little apprehension about it. One hears some things in a big city like New York. At one o'clock as we rose to go, two stocky and determined white men pushed through the crowd to our tailgate. We sat on the couch, our touch Bob on the shoulder. "We want to talk to you, Kid," he announced in a steely voice. Quick as a shot, Bob's fist sped to a jaw and he dropped like a log. Bob was hated at the street, the other man behind him waving aside the crowd with his revolver. It happened so quickly I could hardly believe my eyes. But suddenly enraged by apprehension I followed the crowd to the street. At the curb stood Bob Phillips in the grip of two brawny policemen, his collar torn, his face bleeding. The sight sickened me. I rushed to him blindly, thoughtlessly as he was being hustled into a taxicab. "Go home, Marie!" he commanded over his shoulder. "Don't you get mixed up in this." How I got home I don't know, but I did. Somehow or other I mechanically negotiated the two flights of stairs and reached home. For fear of scandal, I was afraid to telephone the police station. What had Bob done? Why were they arresting him? Would he get out of it? These thoughts rocketed through my brain as I lay across my bed. By morning I had drawn myself together. Jack came in excitedly at noon. "Who'd ever thought of Old Bob Phillips being mixed up in a big burglary?" he exploded. "And to think that we had him in our house! Nice chap but I thought there was something funny about him not working and yet I'm going on 'easy street. They say he's got about fifteen years coming to him, sure." I tried to display the proper interest without being suspiciously emotional. Yet inside I was sick and weak because of a serious lack offulness, however, that I had escaped. What MIGHT have happened appalled me. Suddenly it dawned upon me with a great burst of light what it meant to be married to an honest man make me feel like I was in a moment all of Jack's solid virtues. He was poor, yes, but he was giving me everything he could. He was loyal, which was more than Bob and I had been together. He was loyalty and discretion; that had never for a moment suspected anything between his chum and me. Fool! that I had permitted myself to be blinded to his true worth. Jack seemed surprised when, weeping bitterly, I flung myself into his arms. That happened three months ago. Jack and I are living on as before. The back room is unrestricted because we are not allowed even if they ARE old friends. I have learned my lesson and an. the soul of discretion, and yet. ther. are times in the big stree prison in the big stree prison and I have a yearning to see him and to hear his voice once more; to sit once again in that nook in the woods beside the placid pool with his strong arm encircling my waist and his lips meeting And yet I realize now more than ever that I could not be untrue to good, old Jack himself. He had emotions, women are sometimes. We are always between the horns of Love's dilemma. We can't get what we want: we don't want what we get. Often we want what we want. We know that way. It is the quick method. Results come almost instantly. It is the approved method. You will never use another when you know.

Scales, grand chancellor of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, jurisdiction of North Carolina, in a proclamation issued February 19, has agreed to resign his office. Some time ago the Carolina grand lodge was suspended by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans, for failure to pay $5,000 in back taxes. A week ago the endowment department of the state order was thrown into the hands of the receiver by the state commissioner because of its inability to pay death claims. Scales Issues Proclamation The proclamation of Mr. Scales reads in part: "My slogan has been 'Wildows First.' The supreme chancellor has agreed to make arrangements to pay off all lawful death claims. He asks that Sir J. M. Avery, grand master of the exchequer; Sir J. W. Dwindsor, grand master of records and seal, and my slogan, chancellor, step aside and allow officers to be chosen that will meet with his approval. "If the widows are to be cared for, we gladly make the sacrifice. We have served the grand lodge for eighteen months without pay; we have given of our time ungrudgingly to the end that the order might be fulfilled. We have the grand lodge over to others and wish for them the greatest possible success.

Dear Pansy: Stocking caps, a few bushy heads, folks leaning out of windows, while the door steps—here and there unpleasant odors of cabbage greens flying out from some opened door or window are signs of coming spring, in addition to the beautiful balmy weather we have experienced for the past week. By the way, spring overcoats have also bten rushed out, all of a moment, and we will be it, let this un-seasonable weather last a few days longer and automobile tops will be let down and the country roads and parks will be closed. Milder, please stay. However, milder, just as calling her chance and like a thief in the night, will steal up on them and they will glady go indoors where they properly belong. We will be the meals for hungry mouths. The season's activities, seen from another view this week, are pre-Lenten socials and teas; while church guilds, auxiliaries and the like are also coming fast-fasting Lenten season. At the same time a fascination for travel—a rest cure as it were—inveigles a number of our prominent folks to the beach and the salt baths at Hot Springs. Light, soft skin makes you more gladly go in belong, and prepare the season another view Lenten social guilds, auxi making gre fast-coming NTRANCING But back to last week's enjoyable affairs, which started with a Valentine party.

Mr. Lewis was BEAT as I was going to say, as guest of honor and principal speaker on that evening, Mr. DePriest gave food for thought, and wasn't afraid to speak his mind; and we were both, really a delight to his hearers. He regretted did the club members and other guests, that Mrs. DePriest was unable to attend, but he brought her good will with him, and the congregation laughed at the ladies for the first time at this annual affair, and made it plain that their assistance contributes success in every field of life. You bet, the ladies liked that, and liked him more than ever for advice. However, other speakers on the program were enjoyable, and the banquet was truly a huge success. Now that the Baltimoreans have had the opportunity to shake hands with Congressman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest, things will no doubt begin being normal again. The Ascoses Format Dance.

The fault was with one of the club members of the Ascoces. One gentleman he invited used his one invite and brought company with him, which made up the ten invites he gave. So when this poor young man, that was really invited, reached the door, the permitted number of guests for this club member had arrived and hence the door was opened and he needed to let the eleventh one come in. Of course it was an embarrassing situation and under the circumstances, the other fellow who brought the extra companion was not only more likely to refuse admission to the poor widower that had just lost his wife about six or seven months ago, and needed a little enjoyment, but also that he was all right to stick to rules, and perfectly in order to enforce a law, keeping uninvited guests out, but if rumor is correct, the Ascoe Club did not use correct diplomacy in this case, and of course we feel sorry for the man in question.

TANLAC WITHOUT EQUAL FOR STOMACH AND LIVER TROUBLES Nurse Gives Remarkable Endorsement Tanlac may seem miraculous in its action to millions who ended stomach, liver and kidney troubles as well as rheumatism, pains in the back, sides, joints and muscles from its use—but the truth is every drop of Tanlac is a strong potent medicine while most other remedies are weak and ineffective. Mrs. B. Plccord, a nurse with many years' experience, is one who ought to know. She says, "In 10 years of live nursing have found Tanlac without an equal as a remedy for stomach and liver troubles, and I can certainly promise people wonderful results in view of my long experience with this medicine. I had stomach troubles for years, could eat scarcely anything without suffering, never any appetite, always nervous and run-down. But as soon as I began Tanlac it started to build me right up. All stomach troubles were routed and never any pain, distress or gases since. Now, I get everything with perfect safety." Many "patent medicines" make glowing promises that may tempt you to buy them but remember Tanlac is a REAL medicine that backs its claims with a guarantee. Do not accept a substitute.

U. Gibson. It must have been homecoming night for "Slim" Heuderson, elongated Athenian center, last Friday night, judging from the loss of which he beat the cords in the local Cleveland 47-30 victory over the 1930 edition of the St. Christopher basketball team of New York City. Or maybe it was because it was on the eve of the birthday of the "Father of his Country," that the Greek tap-off man went on a basket-shooting spree that ended after he had contributed 18 points the sum total of the Athenians efforts. Anyhow, the St. "C" aggregation that took the floor at the table tables New York's traditional tradition, failed to in the traditional St. Christopher manner and as a result the New Yorkers went back to Harlem on the short end of the score. Game Nip and Tuck Within less than two minutes after the opening whistle sounded, the Athenians had chalked up four points but in an equally short time the red and black jerseyed players scored the score. Buster Scott and Hill contributing two beautiful field goals in rapid succession. String music by Rap Wheatley and Henderson soon ran the count to 10,4 but with Hinds. In the second range, the St. "G" tossers frogged ahead with the score at 12-10. Greeks Steal Away Then the Athenian gunners got busy, and with Henderson and Brown romping, and a contribution from the floor by Sheffey, ran their count to 21 before Bill Webb made a doubledecker for the visitors. A continuation of the form for Henderson and Wheley increased Athenian advantage, until at half time the locals were leading, 28 to 16. Brown Makes Trick Shot The Athenians opened the second half with a rush, Sheffey and Wheatley tallying in rapid succession. Hinds and Giffin contributed to boost the visiting team's total by an overhaul of the pitch by Cute and contributions from Sheffey, Wheatley and Henderson gave the locals a margin which St. "C" was unable to overcome. With a safe lead, Henderson and Sheffey and we had Teeney and Thomas scored the fray, and while neither scored both played a good defensive game, holding the New Yorkers in check. Henderson, with 18 points was high score, with 11 and 10 respectively. Buster Scott, with eight points, was the high scorer for the visitors. EASTERN BASEBALL MAGNATES DISBAND High Salaries, Poor Discipline, Poor Umpiring, are Among Causes. PHILADELPHIA. — Club owners in the American Negro Baseball League, meeting in special session here last week, voted to disband the organization and to play independent ball during the 1930 season. The decision to scrap the eastern loop did not come as a surprise, having been foreseen for some time. George Rossiter of the Baltimore Black Sox; James Jones of the New York Lincoln City Isaac Washington; of the Atlantic City Bacharach, of the Atlantic City Bacharach, and Edward Bolden of the Hilidale club, and president of the league were the moguls present. Cum Posey of the Homestead Grays and Alejandro Pompez were absent but let it be known that they were not in favor of continuing with league baseball. High salaries, lack of discipline, poor umpiring, and poor schedules were among the reasons given for this decision. Hilldale Quits A bombshell was thrown into the meeting when Mr. Bolden informed that the Hildale Baseball Corporation had voted to quit, having lost their playing grounds at Baldwin and internal questionation are given for this action. The part of the Daisy management, Mr. Bolden, however, indicated that there would possibly be an independent team to represent Philadelphia, and that he would have a share in its operation. We Have Big Shakeup Simultaneously with the announcement of the homestead Grays management that George Scales, second baseman; Oscar Charleston, first baseman; Steven, shortstop; and Oscar Bolden, had been signed to play with the Pennsylvania team. Other players who are scheduled to appear in Gray uniforms this season are: Buck Ewing and Drake, catchers; Joe Williams, Brit, and Brendan; jams, pitcher; Ben Williams, pitcher; and Oscar Owens, outfielders; and Mo Harris, utility.

Regulars Come Back With the see-md team playing good ball and exhibiting a good passing attack, Coach Hurt allowed them to start the second half and remain in the game until within ten minutes of the end, when the reguired back on the court and proceeded with the slaughter, Lanky Jones leading in the hostilities. Avant, flashy Smith forward, Tucker and Horne, played a good game for Smith, but the Carroll team attained a point victory over Va. State, one of the C.I.A.A. cage leaders, did not function with its vaunted precision and Morgan frequently rushed in to take possession of the ball when good passing would have meant a Shaw victory. Avanced scored 13 of his team's points. Lanky Gets 16 Points Lanky Jones, played his usual floor game, leading in the scoring with 16 points, all made from the floor. Jack Spencer dropped a shot, and the team's occasions, while Pinky Clarke, Babe Jones and Hackett also found the range.

MORGANTOWN IS VICTOR MORGANTOWN, W.Va.—Beechurst High School basketball quint defeat the Dunbar High School of Fate hard-fought game here Friday night. The girls played a preliminary game with the boys and tied them The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 1, 1930 Hear Me Talkin' To Ya Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON STOP your crying and DILL your tears, my dears, that big ex-pleison that you heard last week was just the American Negro League, successor to the old eastern bazalea league, blowing up, a sort of periodic happening in this sector, if you are old enough to remember. Yessir, the boys decided to call it quits, a thing which has been forecast time and again by the scribblers who have made bold to poke their noses into the inside doin's of the moguls of And what of it? you say. And you have it. It means only that instead of getting an occasional release of batting and fielding averages, you won't get any at all, unless you figure them out for It means that you'll see a few changes in the rosters of the various clubs, and that instead of calling them "their wives in your city, you won't know until about a week before they arrive. It will mean that you will see some dirtier uniforms than you probably last season, if possess. And it may also mean that you may see a new organization coming in to take the place of the deceased group of clubs. While it is generally undoubted that the Hildale club of Darby will disband because of the loss of their playing field, it is known that the club is far from being devoid of all interest in baseball and it is likely that if he can secure grounds he will put the club in the field. Cum Posey, who will meet a meeting, has for a long time been opposed to a league, and his failure to come in was expected. This pillar also predicted the action of Ike Washington at Atlantic City, where no type of baseball ever will flourish. George Rosser of the Black Sox and Jim Keanan of the New York Lincoln Glants seem to be sincere in their desire to have a league that is, if the organization is a paying proposition, some others who seem opposed to organizing baseball on general principles. Even if the league makes money, these boys would not want to be because they would be bound by certain rules to abide by some rules and regulations, a thing which is regularly abused to them. perfect. With, Washington, Richmond, and Norfolk clamoring for organized baseball, it should not be surprising then, to see a new circuit formed which would embrace these cities. New Philadelphia. The great difficulty is setting someone with the devotee to looking after the interests of the organization. Loud wails are heard about financial losses and the league is blamed. These same clubs who lost money last would probably have lost as much money as they had invested independent baseball, and will find that out this coming season. Imagine a group of men, only required to post a $50 bond, and would you believe it, one of these went through the entire 1929 season without putting down a penny? Less than $100 were expended from the league treasury, leaving a refund for the owners when they dis- Among other things mentioned as reasons for the downfall of the league was the matter of high salaries. The moguls complained that they were forced to carry a heavy payroll in order to keep their clubs in the running. Some players were reported as receiving as high as $400 a month, figuring old, is in excess of what would be the fair calibre in the West. If reports coming to this desk are as reliable as others that have been received from the same source, there will be few changes in the roster of the Baltimore Black Sox. A pair of replacements for the chief problem with the writer will probably be without the services of Ollie Marcelie this season, and if this is true, it will mean that Jud Wilson will go back to his old post at third, while a new man will be obtained to hold down the initial sack. An outfielder and a pair of pitchers should make the club as strong as if not strong. If the writer says that there will be no undue meeting on the part of other club owners, and that some of the players who have been approached before do not change their minds. Last year, I know, several of the dark-hosed boys were approached by other managers, but all shook their heads negatively, saying that the players would be better off if they did not seem to have changed so much, it is felt, particularly after having talked with some of the fellows that they are willing to continue their sojourn in the Monumental City. It has been reported, unofficially, that Judy Johnson, Oscar Charleston and Jake Stevens, Hilldale play with the former, and with the Philadelphiaans any great or in this writer's opinion at least two of those players can be easily replaced, even if you don't agree. There is so much to be said about baseball in the East that it will take more space than can be allotted to it here to discuss it. If the focus is on the players, it will be clearer to feeble way to give sidelights on them. And your comments will be more than welcome, yes indeedy. PLEASE tell me (and I don't care who does the telling) why, that two basketball teams play, they can't at least agree on the score, instead of sending in varying reports to the team. But if they don't agree, there are some teams that send in scores with great promptness—when they win, if they lose, you'll never hear about it from them. Discrepancies in scores are not so bad, for instance when the score should be 25-18, should have been 25-18, but, when the score should have been 26-25 and is given as that by one team and is given as 44-21 by the other, something is certainly wrong. And if you'll listen to me, I'll tell you that they not only make these errors, but occasionally reverse the score (unintentionally, of course) so the team will win. As an object lesson this columbo is going to print some of these accounts, by side by side, as a warning. And it might also be said here, that games played on Monday of one week are of no importance if they are sent in a week from the date they played. The worst case is that they see them coming. Let's see if we can't eliminate the odor from Denmark. ANDOM jottings: Just as we noted last week, basketball is a tricky business you never can tell. And the answer is to happen. And the showing made by various teams, particularly while they are on the road. Take a look at this, if you don't believe it. Michigan State College basketball at Petersburg are considered among the leaders if not the leaders of the C.I.A.A. cage race. In one game the Petersburg lost to Smith University troos, who in turn lost to Bordentown. And Bordentown, if you remember, lost to Doughlass High School. Does that mean that the Doughlass team is better than the C.I.A.A. leaders? Of course it doesn't, but there are some who would argue the point. Then there's the case of what happens when one gets the "big head" as witness what happened to the Lincoln team, and then the coach Bill Taylor has at Lincoln the best basketball MATERIAL of any team in the C.I.A.A. The Lions started off at a rapid pace, making a big hit. They scored a one-point (or was it two-point?) victory over Howard, and with the knowledge that Howard had already defeated Hampton, went to the lair of the Seasiders feeling very good, which was won decisively by the Virginians, reports that Lincoln could have defeated Hampton had the Lions played the game as if their very lives depended upon the outcome. Instead, they entered the game with the "this is a set-up" feeling, and suffered the consequences. Hampton, subsequently, and they thus lost to A. and T. College, a team already beaten by Armstrong High School of Washington. It pays then, to avoid the inflated cranium. Over on the Howard University bill, so the story goes, the writer is a much-misunderstood man, believe it or not. It seems that an honest attempt to publish the truth is mistaken for a chance to do intentional injury. When the matter of professionalism at Howard came up, the writer expressed a sympathy with the administration and whenever anything good on the hill occurred it has been faithfully chronicled. The same goes whenever it is necessary to be criticized. A Washington correspondent, writing of the Howard-Morgan basketball game at Howard, expressed the opinion that Morgan suffered because of poor officiating. Had this writer been there (and he has been there when the officiating was rotten) he would have written the same thing, just as he did on that memorable occasion. Being neither an alumnus of Howard or Morgan and having no official connection with either institution, there is certainly no partially. A Howard alumnus, who saw the Howard and Morgan game both of those games on Washington told me: "Morgan won both of those games with great credit." I think it is unfortunate that former Howard men should officiate in games in which their alma mater is a participant." I am sorry if I am misunderstood, and what race sports writer isn't at times? But I have no apology at any time for printing what appears to be the truth. And did someone tell you that the runners in last year's cross-country marathon haven't received their prize money yet? Page C. C. Pyle. And before this jabbering closes, let me ask you, collectively and singly: What is your honest opinion on the Johnson-Lazio fight? From where I sit it appears that things are rotten in other places than Denmark. "Rats" Henderson Retires ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—(ANP)—Arthur "Rats" Henderson of the Bacharach Giants' pitching staff will not play baseball this summer, it was announced Thursday night by Henderson himself. He will elong to his position in an auction store on the boardwalk, where he said that he could make more money in that position than he could playing ball.

Lions Win from Bisons by 25-21 Score in Holiday Attraction. SECOND VICTORY Overtime Period Necessary to Decide Contest. ORANGE, N.J.-In an extra session game Saturday night Lincoln University again defeated Howard's basketball team, this time by a score of 25-21. The game was sponsored by the North Jersey Howard alumni and was attended by L500 Lincoln-Howard and the Bisons began scoring when after four minutes of cautious play Harris slipped through the Lion defense, dribbled the ball to the basket and scored a goal. Lincoln was unable to hold the ball because of a fumble or a wild pass. In the wilderness, Taylor, Howard's subcenter, scored more points because he lion forward, put his team into the scoring column with a neat angle shot. Lincoln Comes to Life Harris, Howard's captain, followed Taylor's example and dribbled repeatedly through the Lincoln team, being fouled by his pursuers. As a result, he scored two runs, the score 9-4 in Howard's favor, the Lions came to life and through the clever shooting of Avery and DeCosta, overtook the Bisons with a one-point lead. Harris scored twice from the field, enabling the Bisons to lead by the margin of a single point as the half ended. Teams Battle Hard The second half opened with fast work on work on behalf of both teams, with Lincoln showing surprising stamina. As a result, the Lions ran up 9 points, while Howard gathered S. With four points, the blissful team tied and the score at 19-all. Avery shot a basket which sent the Lions ahead by two points, which everybody thought was the last shot of the game, but Howard secured possession of the ball. Smith, who from a difficult angle flipped the ball through the net, leaving the score at tie, with only 15 seconds to go. Knotted as Game Ends The game ended in a score of 21-21. In the summer period, Hall took the ball from tap off, dribbled madly down the floor and shot for the basket, but the ball rolled around the rim and fell on the outside. Lincoln recovered and the sensation of the points from the foul line by Ridley gave the Lions a well-earned four-point margin. Guarding Close One notable feature of the game was Lincoln's close guarding which enabled Howard to get only four field goals, a duplication of the feat in Washington, when Howard directed only three field goals during the en- Fortunately for Howard, this was an extra game under the auspices of neither institution, and therefore, does not figure in the AAC.

The Douglass High School cagers continued their winning streak by trouncing the team from Howard High School, Wilmington, Del, in thirer second meeting of this season, by a 21 to 18 score, in the Douglass gym, Friday afternoon. Coach Gibson's charges, however, didn't come by their victory easily, as the visitors presented stiff opposition throughout the contest and lea. at half time by an 13 to 10 score. A new running team was uncovered in Morse, who led his team in scoring by accounting for seven points. Visitors Open up The first period found the teams playing cautiously, but in the second period the Delaware boys opened up an attack, and with Benton proving the big gun, forged into the lead by one of the players, the whistle terminated the first half. Simms began the fireworks in the second half by tossing in a basket that put the Ducks in front, and Hooks Dorsey soon followed an attempt to score. The passing the Howardists was erratic at times, causing them the loss of the ball in their own territory when scoring would have meant everything. Ducks Muff Good Chances Douglas missed several scoring chances when Simms muffed perfect passes that caused him to hurry his shots and consequently miss the basket. The floorwork of Dyson Dorsey howse the ducks in the Buckeyes assessment on more than one occasion, while Barber broke up a number of Howard passes. Near the close of the final period, with Douglas leading by a score, Barber was in the act of making the basket and to foal goals in addition.

TIMOE, MARYLAND The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly Golden Slippers' Team will Meet Armstrong Monday Trip to Washington is Mei Than Mere Game for Kimball, W.Va. Team. BATTLE EXPECTED Mountaineers Runners-up in '29 Tourney. WASHINGTON, D.C.—Two of the strongest high school basketball teams ever brought together in competition will meet on Monday evening, March 2, in the Howard University gymnasium, at eight o'clock. The Armstrong High School of Washington will be the hosts, while the Kimball High School of West Virginia will be the guests. Foilowers of high school sports have been eager to see the Armstrong team swing in action against either the Kimball team or the Wendell Phillips High School team of Chicago. At the Hampton National Championship Contest, last year, the Kimball team attracted widespread attention not merely for their skill, but also for their uniforms. They played in green and white uniforms and golden slippers. The admission has been made twenty-five cents for all students, but no student tickets will be sold at the door. The general admission will be fifty cents. Students should be sure to secure their tickets in advance. Another feature that the Armstrong authorities will stress is that of making the trip for the Kimball boys more than an athletic contest. The following attractive program has been worked out and served by domestic science class, taught by Miss Watkins. 2. Educational sight-seeking trip, including public buildings. During Building 1, the teachers to First Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson, an effort will be made to have the busy official pose with the boys. 3. A school assembly at which the Kimbal hall students gather. 4. Dinner by the class in housekeeping taught by Mrs. Nurce. 5. A basketball game by the senior class exclusively for the two basketball teams. Every effort will be made to sup- pise you, and to help you for the time away from the classes of the boys who journey so far to a city where they doubtless have no acquaintances.

(ANP) — Chaney White, fleet-footed centerfielder of the Bacharach Giants, looms as the leading candidate for the management of the Bees this year, according to a statement by Isaac Washington, owner of the team. Washington's statement regarding his plans for the 1930 edition of the Bees were rather vague but he said that White was a good man to manage the club and that he was pretty seated with the team. White has played with the Bees for many seasons; he is one of the most sensational outfielders in colored baseball, when Dick Lundy cannot be present to direct the affair. American Negro League had disbanded the Bees will have to play independent ball this year, also that he was convinced that professional baseball of the independent variety would not be supported by the right to make a road team of the Bacharach Giants, if he could organize a first-class outfit, if not that he might "upset the sponge."

NEW YORK—(Special)—One of the most unpopular ring decisions ever handed down in the local ring was given out Friday night when Pat Latzo, white, was given the nod over Larry Johnson, Chicago light heavy weight sensation, at Madison Square Garden. The referee was Jimmy Crowley and the judges, Joe Angelo and George Kelly. So raw was the decision, over which the judges and the referee failed the agree, that boos and hisses filled their air as the crowd, that had seen Johnson decisively win six of the te rounds, expressed its disapproval. They say that the decision was a surprise; or, to put it mildly, for Johnson was a 3 to 1 favorite to whip the former welterweight champion, and hardly had the match been announced than many writers had been to protest, citing that it would be virtual suicide to send Latzo with his glass jaw, against the young Wind. Fresh from a string of 15 consecutive knockouts, the list including Lee Hart, all white contenders, Johnson known for his stinging right-han smashes, forced Latzo around the rim and jaw in the first six rounds, all q which he is credited by many ringed experts, with winning. Shifts to Left After the knockout, he began using his left more extensively. Of the white boy's attacks were cen tered about Johnson's mid-section There were no knockouts.

RACE SUPERIORITY IS LIKE A LEGEND Individuals Superior But Not Races, says Columbia Professor. SPEAKS AT HOWARD U. Some Signs of Brotherhood Apresent Now. WASHINGTON, D.C.—John Herman Randall, assistant professor of philosophy at Columbia University, in addressing the students of Howard University in Andrew Rankin Chapel on last Wednesday said, "It is too hard a day foray to please people to talk about superior and inferior races." Speaking on the subject of "Greative Thinking," Dr. Randall stated that, "the deserved prevailed in our culture and in our society to all others. This has no more basis than the old legends of the ages. It is a myth, a baseless legend. Leading anthropologists have said that what we have in every race—or in all races—is an inferior individuals, but the words superior and inferior do not apply to races at all." Dr. Randall continued: "The conclusion of scientists in the field of anthropology is that all of all races possess similar qualities, and, given an equal opportunity, and an equal time for development, all races will show individuals who are superior." All Equal "It is too late in the day," stated Dr. Randall, "for scientific nations to take any attitude but that we are not going to change it, it there is this essential unity binding us together. Another great task of the twentieth century is the kind of creative thinking we need to race in the new kind of relationship. Pessimists say that this will never come to pass, that we will never change our attitudes, but already there are some signs of brotherhood." At Lincoln Univ.

Heart-broken "Yes. I am a heart-breasted man in spirit and body. Love played such an important part in all my life. I wanted a home, wife, and children. I have the children—at least, I support them, my wife, and home, was only a dream." Not only does Washington claim to have given his wife all that he had of love, of spirit, and of energy. Not only did he, and of energy, have the power which he believes she rudely and heartlessly withdrew herself, but he gave her all his worldly goods. Met in College "I met Nettie B. Hancock in college," he writes on. "She seemed to be such a charming girl in those days, I thought she was the woman I loved. We were married. We lived happily together until my father died. He wilmed one-third of the estate to me, personal and real. I gave to my wife all of my inheritance from my father, which included approximately eighteen thousand dollars. I bought her a house, and she would cover that amount. For nearly eight years I have given her all of my monthly salary besides. Today, I am a broken-hearted man, dependent upon a salary to support. These days, I record." Daughter of Gambler The bitterness of Washington's remorse is seen in the concluding statement of the first installment of his story. In the old days he had to have a gun, but did not him, but he thought that he might buy love. But now he knows he erred. He concludes: "I married the daughter of a gambler, a girl who every trick in the game and how to make him pay who loved the fair sex. Today, I realize my mistake. I tried to buy love, and the price was too dear." Near Mount Vernon. Washington, like most men of his day, was an exact creditor. The city of Washington was not laid out near Mt.

Cake walks of today, that are presented with a wide range of modern mannequins offer wide contrast to the cakewalk of a bygone cra; when such stars as Earl Thomas, Marion Frye and the brilliant Kid Cole, popular master of ceremonies and eccentric dancers de luxe, were the reigning stars. According to Headwalter Joseph McLane, it was not uncommon to see John Jacob Astor a Payne Hine cash prize of HarperCollins dollars to the best performer; nor to see Edward B. McLane, millionaire newspaper publisher, present a check, calling for a hundred twenty-five more, to the troupe, and immediately thereafter purchase champagne for everybody. Six Couples Compete This year's miniature revue numbers twelve performers (six males and six females), who appeared on Tuby Lynn, the leader, had for his teammate, Rose Howard. Couple No. 1 was represented by Helen Hulen and Nettie Willem while later Brown and Alberta Brown represent Couple No. 2. In Couple No. 3 were Joe Miller, former Howard University student and track star, and his partner, Tracy Kramer, composing his works Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. They were Roy Humble, and Erskine Wrightson, Henry Maxwell and Helen Duncan. In the center of the grove is the dance hall, where dug about were lights and balloons, giving the effect of a mammoth circus tent. Flanked on all sides of the stage sat journalists of international financiers, jurists and women who entertained the very essence of high society. The race was well represented too, the spectators being mainly employees of the Royal Court, and a band was not a calamity to see a sepi tainted parlor mall rubbing shoulders with a rich man's daughter, or a famous character discussing theatrical performer with a plebian bell hon. 6 MEN TO GET RITCHIE PAROLES ON MARCH 4 Judges and Jurors Join in Plea for Clemency in Three Cases.

Those to be paroled are: William Williams, Simon Holley, Charles Oscar Johnson, Elewant Cooper, Webster Young and William H. Thomas. Commenting upon the case of Simon Holley, the parole commissioner noted that the sentence given was rather severe. He was sentenced to the nearest County police magistrate to two years in the House of Correction for carrying a concealed weapon. It was noted that the sentence was a stiff one. Holley's former employer will take him back and he is needed for the support of his 2-year-old daughter. He will upon the other cases are as follows: William Williams, 19, was sentenced by a police justice to theimore correction for unauthorized use of an automobile. He has served all of his term except one month. He has been an employee and his former employee has promised to take him back. This will enable him to help support several young brothers and Charles O. Johnson was sentenced by the criminal court of Baltimore to one year in the House of Correction, which he had been a member months of his term remain. The prosecuting witness and the judge both recommended clemency. He was convicted by the criminal court of Baltimore to one year in the House of Correction for stealing an automobile which was returned. He was only two years old when he was convicted by his friends took a joy ride to Washington and were caught on their way back. About four more months of remain and the judge favors clemency. Webster Young was sentenced in the criminal court of Baltimore to eighteen years in the prison sentence for four years, four months, five years, four and one half months of his term remain. Commissioner Kennedy found that Young has an excess of violence against the Ball girl when the man was imprisoned, and has been raising their three children here. Young has provoked a lot of anger by all. It was noted that he had no criminal instincts, and a release would enable him to give his wife and help she needs in raising a child.

The letter to Senator Walsh was as follows: "The Colored Democratic Poli- league of Massachusetts must not ask the taxpayer to Senatorial investigation of the administration's spending the taxpayers' money to segregate and discriminate against the colored Gold Star mothers and widows on their proposed pilgrimage to the graves of their sons and husbands "The Hoover administration has made many blunders, but it is not to date, is more un-American and more deserving of the condemnation of every believer. It has not humiliate these mothers and widows who made a supreme sacrifice for their country, while in the same act the government is pretending to be a victim."

The women are visiting stores asking that Negroes be employed, obliging petitions among housewives, calling Harlem merchants to give employment, and urging that patronage be given by Harlem housewives to stores of the Colored Mercantile Association. A large department store has installed colored elevator operators, an innovation which is likely to be peated by other store owners that will be concentrated upon in this for larger opportunity for new workers. Two chain food stores have installed colored managers, and another store has promised to give opportunities of an unusual character to women. Of far reaching importance is the installation of colored clerks and message boards at the Western Union Telegraph Company, culminating years of labor or, the part of many agencies in New York City. In Chicago the National Negro Labor Conference, sponsored by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, enlisted a group of national workers who exposed the essential dilemmas the Negro faces in his efforts to rise.

In Omaha union members and Negro workers in the building trades conferred over the relationship between the two groups. In Buffalo a bitter fight between Negro and white musicians has been organized out-of-town Negro orchestras in the city for dance halls in which Negro musicians are ad to have the monopoly. Losses Losses were decisive in Richmond, where unemployment approached the level of 1922 for workers of both races. Many workers were laid off from a mail order house in Baltimore, and in Omaha sixteen waiters were replaced by white waiters because of "economy in administration." Detroit's employment record maintained a employment record for Negroes, is said to present a "terrible situation" and St. Louis complains of discharges from automobile companies, glass factories, cement companies, and construction concerns and construction companies.

SLAVERY EXISTS U.S. Probers, However, May Not Find It. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Charges of slavery in Liberia and fraud in voting were substantiated by D. A. Graham, formtir president of Monrovia College, Liberia, West Africa, in a letter to the recorder here this week. Dr. Graham, who was president of the college built by Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, during the latter's administration as bishop of the A.M.E. Church in West Africa, declared that the charges made by the AFRO-AMERICAN and later brought to the attention of the State Department in Washington and the League of Nations by T. J. R. Faulkner, were cor- Dr. Graham said that President King's wghie party has entire charge of all the elections, and when Mr. Faulkner, in the last presidential campaign, ran against President King, the King-Whig party voted seclow children. Six-Year-Old Boys Vote "I know six-year-old boys who voted for King and many other school boys who did the same," said Dr. Graham. "All Whig children could vote. These tactics were not used so openly in the city of Monrovia but in the interior it was carried on to an outrageous extent. In at least two counties, the majority reported for King was greater than the entire population of the county. "Mr. Faulkner gathered affidavits to prove these and many other flagrant irregularities and carried them to the suprem. court, but that august body being appointees of the president, claimed no jurisdiction and referred it to the legislature. "That body also being handpicked, Faulkner's cause had as good a show as a snow ball has in Hades." Faulkner's Reliability Asked as to Faulkner's reliability, Dr. Graham said that Faulkner has the only hotel, the only cafe, the only ice manufacturing plant in the country. Faulkner was also responsible for an electric lighting plant and no other man in Liberia has done as much for modernizing the country as he. Probers Won't Find Slavery When the international commission, now en route to Liberia, arrives to investigate conditions of slavery they will not be found, according to Dr. Graham. "President King is diplomatic and sagacious, and every man in any kind of office knows that his job is to take when he goes before that commission." "A cabinet officer whom I invited to deliver the principal address on one of the big days at Monrovia College, openly defended forced labor and claimed that America and England had been established by it and that Liberia could not hope to reach her desired goal without recourse to the same economic methods. Little For Schools "While the missionary schools are spending half a million, dollars per year for education in Liberia the government appropriated while I was there $27,000 per year for the education of 300,000 children. "I asked one government official if the government was too poor to do better for their children. He heated to the idea, and called my attention to other unnecessary appropriations which were being wasted to please the President." "The government calls for a certain number of men from a tribe to build a certain amount of road. The tribal chief conscripts the required number of men and they gather up their rice and sticks for digging and are forced for duty. They require a requisite number of days when they are relieved by men from another tribe and so on. "These workers are not paid. The Liberian government one year gave out $3,000 to the tribes who little of this government provides of men who work every day for the six months building roads. "This is one form of Liberian pledge that is well known." MONEY WITHOUT WORRY OR DELAY For family or business purposes granted promptly courteously without embarrassment.

The federation's letter read: "Dear Brethren: Owing to the situation which has recently arisen on account of articles appearing in the pupit press, we desire to reaffirm our position of the following points.

At the executive board meeting held recently in St. Louis, Mo., an executive commission, consisting of the Jubilee Commission, has consisted of eight, was named but the complete plans for the working out of the half century obsession was left entirely with a smaller committee, consisting of S.

Certificates printed in gold, authorizing key men to work in the several states, have already been sent out so that the New York Baptists will not only be assured of a large and overwhelming crowd in September, but they will have a close-up on some of the big timber in the Baptist denomination.

Slater was not to say singular, so much as strictly peculiar. He was a preacher of much power, and he was the study or readings of his Bible. He was able to be fair with even one but had his private prejudices, although he did not exercise them to the harm of others. They were the possessions of his inner soul, which he kept securely looked up, except as he might exhibit them to his most intimate and confidential friends. He religious services, he was severely formal. As a presiding officer, he was rather stately, and might, I guess, remind one of a lord in parliament. He was friendly, and tried to whatever he could for an audience. When he was in his confidence and friendship, there was no limit to his generosity. Rev. E. B. Trotman Speaker "Denominational Weaknesses and How to Cure Them," was the subject of an address by the Rev. E. B. Trotman, of the Episcopal Church, Cumberland, before the Ministerial Union of Cumberland, which met in Paw W. W. va., recently. Among the weaknesses, the Rev. Trotman, of the Episcopal congregations and ministers disagreeing and attempting to solve their differences by division; excess emotionalism, collections accompanied with grand parades, joining of church without a creed or belief. The Union meets at the Westernport Church, March 3, 2014. E. B. Cumberland, will defend prohibition. The Rev. E. B. Moon and the Rev. P. R. Vaius will oppose them. H.U.

JACKSON IS OHIO UNION DELEGATE J. Q. JACKSON IS OHIO UNION DELEGATE "Preach Equal Opportunity" is Advice to Budding Dixie Pastors. RESTAURANT BALKS Delegates Walk Out When Color Line is Drawn. . SPRINGFIELD, O—The Ohio Union of Theological Students held its annual meeting here February 20 to 22. The theme of the conference was, "What shall we preach?" The Oberlin graduate school of theology seat three white and one colored delegate, J. Quinton Jackson, who said, "For myself, I shall preach three things: the truth, ideals, and spiritual reality. Much has been preached to us that is not the truth; and what I mean by truth is not dictated by the past alone, nor by the present alone, but by a synthetic union of the two, crystallized by our own knowledge and experience. Ideals have the power to lift men above the horizon where the case can be made, where the moon blooms. By spiritual reality is meant the permanence and value of the high-toned inner life." A student from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary said that he came from a fundamentalist school and he didn't know what to preach and be true to his modern integrity. "There is such a difference of opinion that I don't know what Christianity is." Mr. Jackson, again rose and commended the young white Southerner for admitting that Christianity applied to the religion of the South, "I don't know what to preach?" asked Mr. Jackson. "Why not preach equal opportunity for all mon? You know what you ought to preach. What will you do when you go back?"
