The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 8, 1930 OFAY BARKEEPER SOCIETY DOCTOR CALLED "NEGRO" LOVED THE MAID; ASKS DAMAGES WIFE, CHAUFFEUR California Scripps- Howard Daily is Sued for $50,000. FIGHT AHEAD Attorney to Prove "Negro" not Contemptible. NEW YORK—The second suit in the history of the United States to be brought in the courts of a northern state, to determine whether or not the word "Negro" is a defamatory appellation, when used of a white man, is now being fought in California, and may play an important part in fixing the status of Negroes everywhere. The case is reported to the N.A.A.C.P. by Sidney M. Van Wyck Jr., white, an attorney, who is defending the San Francisco newspaper from a damage suit for $50,000, brought by the former proprietor of a saloon in San Francisco's "Barbary Coast," who was inadvertently called a "Portuguese Negro," in an article published by the newspaper. In his letter to the courts says reporting the case, Mr. Van Wyck says. Court's Must Rule Negro is Base "In order for the courts of California to hold, that it is libelous in California to falsely refer to a man as a Negro it is to be held that a Negro is so base, inferior or degraded that a white man is made contemptuous or ridiculous or shunned or avoided because of his being classed with Negro." If the courts of California hold that the Negro is the equal of the white man, then there would be no libel in referring to a white man as "So far as I have been able to discover no state north of Mason-Dixon's line, except the State of Ohio, has ever been carried in Texas. In Texas Oklahoma, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia, there are Supreme Court decisions holding it to be libelous to refer to a white man as a Negro, Washington, D.C., and in Ohio, the courts have decided that it is not libelous to refer to a white man as a Negro. California to Set Precedent "California, in being called upon through its courts, to pass on this question, will be setting a precedent in its judicial judiciary. We have a great weight should a similar question arise in that great majority of American States, all lying outside the limits of the Old Confederacy and which, with the exception of Ohio, have never been able to adopt a judicial policy in this matter. What is Involved "If in the case now in court a decision should be rendered against the newspaper, that would simply be, so far as the paper is concerned, an incident of its business. But so far as the American Negro is concerned, it would be a severe and degrading blow. for it would establish as a matter of fact that the Negro is contemptible and is shunned and avoided and that the white man who is suspected of being a Negro or even wrongfully called a Negro made contemptible and that the Negro is contemptible, there is, therefore, far more involved in this case than the more question whether this barkeeper shall collect damages from the newspaper." N.A.A.C.P. Aids The N.A.A.C.P., through the National Office, and through the chairman of its National Legal Committee, Arthur Spungar, the founder of numerous citations of works by and about Negroes, showing their achievements and progress and Mr. Van Wyk reports that in his preparation of pages of published records, essays, literature and also legal decisions, having reference to the history, the development, the achievements, the present status and the rights of the American Negro and his relations to the white population. Saloonkeeper's Point Mr. Van Wyk especially acknowledged information upon Portuguese Negroes sent him by Mr. Spingarn in view of the suit concerning the barkeeper's having been cannibalized "Portuguese Negro," this comment was Wyk's excuse. on the case, Mr. van Wyk says, "It is a strange thing that the keeper of a saloon in what was at the port of San Francisco disreguptable portion of San Francisco and indeed of the Pacific Coast, should raise a point which thus involves the status of the whole Negro population of the United States." MEMPHIS, Teenn - Dr. J. A. Jones physician, who treated Bernice Inglewhite, 14, daughter of Dr Charles H. Ingram, white, of Pickens Miss, last week has been arrested charged with assault.

READ and LEARN! Health Talk No. 2 Anesthetics Anesthetics Elimination of pain by anesthesia may be divided into two classes: general, producing unconsciousness; and local, only affecting the part. The former includes ether, chloroform, gas, (under many names); the latter includes cocain, novocain. Gas Ether and chloroform have no place in the dental office. Gas does, but is very often dangerous and administered except by one thoroughly trained in its administration and dangers, and so trained. Gas is not desirable for prolonged pain elimination in dental work. It has a tendency to hurry the operator, causing many patients to present a plausible case of our finest dentists have discarded gas. Noyocain Novesain is preferable where prolonged or careful operating is desired in the dental office, and it will eliminate pain when properly administered for grinding, extractions, etc. At our office we can convince you of the marvelous results obtainable.

Aides Are Leaders "With such an object in view, I have invited to co-operate in this study those who are not only representative of such organizations as are already engaged in teaching in the country, but are recognized as leaders in their respective fields, and who in the composite represent in themselves and their institutions the knowledge of education that underpinned in this approach to Hatt's needs."

ADMISSION 50 CENTS Tickets on Sale at Office of Dean of Women and at Hunton's Drug Store, 9th and U Streets WASHINGTON. (CNS)—Representative George Prichard (Rep., N.C.), who came into national prominence for the first time by refusing to take an office adjoining that of Representative Oscar DePriest, of Chicago, will not seek the Republican re-nomination in the Tenth North Carolina District. Realizing that the folks back home were not too pleased with his first official act in the Capitol which not only failed to add to his popularity with his Republican colleagues but made him the laughing stock of Congressional Washington and made him a nearby hotel at his own expense for five weeks, the Lily-white Congressman has kept himself quietly in the background for the entire session. It was not a surprise in many circles when Representative Pritchard admitted his mistake in the DePriest incident and announced that he had decided to forego an attempt to return to Congress for a second term. as predicted by the Capital News Service last spring. It is believed that a careful analysis of the vote in his district showed very definitely that he was pulled out of the race and would not be able to overcome the unpopularity which his first official action brought him.

Such an exchange will list building mechanics and call up union members in an effort to increase the number of Negro workers in this line. In this way, the Negro youth cover enough workers to prepare carpets, brickmason, plasterers, and painters are still acceptable. The League of Negro headwaiters and captains has also been formed and an active official has a desk to work with the League office, which he is endeavoring to country clubs, hotels and restaurants. He will seek to improve the personal proficiency of Negro waiters as increase the number of jobs employing them. "DIABOLICAL" IS TERM APPLIED TO MINISTER Committee Alleges Dr. Proctor Seeks Favor of Whites. NEGROSLANDERED No True Spokesman of City, they Say. BROOKLYN, N. Y.-The population of this city is incensed and wrought up over a vicious and damaging attack alleged to have been made upon the Negroes by the Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church, here, through the daily press. A committee selected from more than 100 persons who gathered at Holy Trinity Baptist Church, on Sunday morning, termed Dr. Proctor's account as a "diabolical attack" which cannot be accounted for except that he is desirous of raising money to pay off the mortgage on his church, and is using the statement to gain the favor of white people. Sermon on Proctor The Rev. Dr. George Frazier Miller, rector of St. Augustine Episcopal Church, Sunday, devoted his whole sermon to the Proctor statement declaring that the Church should upon our feet as men, and not grovel for favors of the rich and those in power at the expense of the race. This is most damaging and wholly unworthy of a man who stands in position of leadership in community. What Proctor Said Proctor is alleged to have said in his article that Negroes carry disease and crime into the homes of white persons. He also submitted a committee of 15: "This would immediately imply that the colored domestic servants have a monopoly on the care and sale of their races are immune to such conditions. Tolerance to Prejudice "Such a statement has a tendency to unleash the spirit of tolerance on the part of white employers into one of prejudice toward their colored brethren and to destroy their spirit of confidence that has existed, between white and colored races in Brooklyn in the past. "The ultimate might be to degrade the spirit of colored servants of their jobs by mistrust and fear of disease and crime on the part of their employers. Not Sincere "It is indeed a question as to whether Dr. Proctor's remarks were prompted by sincere motives, when he was a Brooklyn bugaboo of impending vices and crime attendant upon the heavy influx of Negroes from Harlem and the West Indies as though crime were peculiar attributes of Ne- Wants White Sympathy "It would seem that in his efforts to enlist the sympathy of white philanthropy in the cause of contributing to the support of church has pursued the purpose of accomplish his end. It is difficult to see how the establishment of a cabaret for Negroes would have any more baneful effect upon the community in general which are operated by the whites. Not Representative If a survey were made and the true facts ascertained concerning the progress of Negro churches in the city of Brooklyn, it should be concluded that Dr. Proctor should be considered in any sense spokesman for the Negro in this borough. There are still nine other churches, each of which members exceeded the number of Nazarete Congregational Church, of which Dr. Proctor is pastor. There are still other factors in church tiksis in which Dr. Proctor is more concurent than Dr. Proctor is more a favorite among the whites than among his own people." Members of the committee who signed the statement include Dr. Paul L. Jones, Alexander F. Boswell, Miss Jennette A. Knight, secretary of the National Protective League, Courtney B. Cooley, Dr. D. B. Cooley, president of the local branch, N.A.A.C.P. White Reform School Full of Sadists Parents of Children Made Into Criminals will Sue State MERIDEN. Conn.—A secret report filed with trustees of the Connecticut School for Boys (while), form institution, with other understudied teachers, with other employees with outrages and sadistic practices upon inmates from 8 to 16 years, is expected to develop a statewide scandal. In the inquiry it developed that the cook employment at the school had been delayed after it was discovered that fifty-seven boys visited her in her quarters. The inquiry has been extended to include the pitchfork stabbing which killed Rudolph Brown, 16, on February 16. Rudolph Brown's parents declare they intend to sue the state for $50,000, and the Board of Welfare has received notification from parent of other boys injured in the stabbing at the reform school that they will aggregate $150,000 against the state.

The reeled were on hand to meet trains coming in, that they quarreled over passengers' bags and thus served the purpose of helping by the process of too many men on the platforms.

Pain in Side and Back "ABOUT a year ago, I was in very bad health," writes Miss Thelma Sorapurn, of 1738 Annette St., New Orleans, La., whose picture is printed above. "I had very severe headaches and swimming in my head. I was nervous and felt so tired and dull. Just felt like I wanted to sit around and not do anything at all. I had severe pain in my side, and my back hurt. "My mother gave me Cardui and I quit being nervous, and I quit having the headache. My back and sides got easy, and I felt strong and well. After taking two bottles of Cardui, no one would know I had ever been sick, for I felt like new." The above testimonial is genuine, and was given freely.

DUBOIS HECKLED BY WHITE WOMEN IN NEW JERSEY DUBOIS HECKLED BY WHITE WOMEN IN NEW JERSEY NEW YORK—A stormy meeting developed out of criticism of the American occupation of Haiti, by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, at a meeting sponsored by prominent clubwomen in East Orange, N. J., on February 20. The meeting, a luncheon gathering of the International Relations Committee, at the Hotel Suburban, was adressed by Dr. Du Bois, and Captain F. H. Cooke, white of the U. S. Navy. Captain Cooke asserted that the United States had intervened in Haiti for the good of that country. When Dr. Du Bois charged that we were in Haiti "because the National City Bank of New York wants us to be there," a number of white clubwomen excitedly assailed his patriotism. Commending on the disturbance at the meeting, Dr. D Bots "It delivered substantially the same speech in New York and Boston without arousing any excitement. Only the smallest social clique would emerge where small social clique tries to rule, would there be such excitement it is amusing that the disturbance began over my remarks about the Nation's past. I can criticize that institution without having my patriotism impugned in East Orange." Dr. Redmond Wins Second Court Victory WASHINGTON, D. G. (CNS)—Dr. S. D. Redmond, attorney-at-law, chairman of the Mississippi Republican State Executive Committee, received court victory when that body reversed his fine of $100 and 30 days in jail, and remanded a contempt of court citation to the Hinds (Miss.) County judge J. G. McGowen, in reversing the decision, held that the judgment of conviction against Dr. Redmond, did not violate fact of law. The opinion presented to the court, written by Judge McGowen, he said that the decision: "Only recites that the court ordered the Redmond contempt. When or how is entirely left to conjecture and speculation." The Supreme Court recently revived court order issued against Dr. Redmond by the Hinds County county court. Teacher Takes No Jokes RALEIGH, N.C. - The aid of a physician was necessary when Miss Estelle Kemp, local teacher, "cleaned up" for a class which drew caricatures of her on the blackboard in her absence. NEW YORK. — Alice Rhinelander, whose ma is white and whose pa is colored, and Leonard Kip Rhinelander, white, her millionaire husband, are closer today to a settlement of their love affairs and finances. From his resent camp, near Las Vegas, Nev. Ky. through his western at- gas, Nev. Klip the navy, Torvay. Kip the invitation and an invitation for his wife's counsel to meet him in Chicago early this week, so that final details of the alliance must be borne out. Alice, too, is tired of the long drawn-out litigation, now that she has become convinced that her husband no longer stands on longer loves her, and seeks freedom whereby she will Z be free to, continue her romantic attachment for Joseph Berger, white, the Hungarian tumbler, now appearing in a Broadway night club. As Kip has obtained a divorce in the western divorce mart, it was hinted that Alice is willing to accept Kip's custody and drop her Westchester suit for a separation. Former Judge Samuel F. Swallow of New Rochelle, Alice's counsel of record admitted the pending arrangements for a meeting in Chicago. Under the terms of Kip's offer, Alice, regardless of whether she remarried, would receive a sum of approximate fees for the marriage fees, in return for which she would drop all other clams against her former husband. The proposed settlement, however, would in no matter affect the $500,000 alienation suit which Alice brought against her aristocratic white father-in-law, Major Phillip Rhinelander, wealthy head of the Rhinelander family. Given Gold Medals for Refusal to Sell Liquor NEW YORK. (ANP)—Two-colored bellhop stepped from the obscurity of the ice water brigade into the spotlight in the obey of a police officer, night, and received medals of honor, $5 gold pieces a lot of orale, and three cheers. A few days ago, he guestsummed with Steve Adams, his room and said, "Get me a bottle of good liquor." Stewart declined to carry out the order, so the guest angry reckoned that he would respond to the head bellman, John Lawson. Lawson also refused to make the purchase, and the guest left the hotel in a huff. Manager A. L. Gutterson heard of the affair, he decided to reward the employees. Filipinos Regarded as Mongolians in California. Marriages of Whites and Yellows Invalid. LOS ANGELES, California (ANP)—There will be no more marriages between Filipinos and whites in Los Angeles County, unless the higher court reverses the opinion of Judge J. A. Smith, who ruled Monday that Filipinos were of the yellow or Mongolian race. Judge Smith, Monday, granted a writ of prohibition against L. E. Lampton, county clerk, forbidding the issuance of a marriage license of Tony V. Moreno, 24, Fillipino, and Ruby Robinson, 22, white, ruling that the Filipino is of the yellow or Mongolian race. “There are only three main races of people,” the court said. “These are the white, the yellow and the black. I hold that a Filipino is of the yellow race or Mongolian race.” His ruling was in direct contradiction of a decision by the county counsel in 1921, which held that a Filipino is of neither the yellow nor the black race. Since 1921 the license bureau had been issuing licenses for marriage of Filipinos and whites upon submission of an affidavit that he or she was not of either the Mongolian race or of the white, there have approximately 350 marriages of white girls to Filipinos in Los Angeles County since that time. This decision by Judge Smith comes as a shock to many of the younger Filipinos in this country who brag of their treatment as the equals of white Americans. One, Jose de Jesus, a Filipino, writing of his impressions of the social prejudices in the United States and took great pride in pointing out the superior treatment of his countrymen at the hands of white Americans. He wrote, "The Filipinos are the Japanese with hate. They also look with 'despise' upon the Jews and other Europeans and Asiatics who have become American citizens. They abhor Negroes and look upon them as the lowest class of the world. Filipinos are branded equal to Americans."

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER (1906) Judge Crutchfield, as notorious in Richmond as Judge Broyles, in Atlanta, for the justice (?) he meets out to colorate prisoners men and women to out colorate prisoners men and women this last week to insult a colored school teacher who had applied to a stoned court for justice against some white boys who had A for her two in the stockade to which they are continually assigning their colored prisoners would be a better place for these so-called judges. They are as much fit to be judges as a yellow dog is fit to pull an automobile. Jim Crowing the Dead The War Department's announcement that Gold Star mothers and widows of colored soldiers must all to France on separate ships and be quartered separately while visiting the graves of their dead, led an AFRO correspondent to wait the last week: "Negro soldiers who lie sleeping in French cemeteries may have died on the front lines, but Gold Star mothers and widows who visit them are expected to come over on the last boat." As expected, the War Department's announcement has been greeted with nation-wide protest and bitterness as effects of sure to be felt after years. But 800 of the 10,500 eligible Gold Star women are colored. Racial segregation was decided upon because "some of the white women are from Southern States." Of course it may have been possible to include women with the whites of the North and Far West, but this never occurred to the jim-crow War Department officials. Its entire procedure—unpatriotic, unnecessary, un-Christian and thoroughly asinine as it is, nevertheless is entirely insecure in secretries under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. As expected, the War Department's announcement has been greeted with nation-wide protest and bitterness, the effects of which are sure to be felt in after years. Of the 10,500 eligible Gold Star women are colored. Racial segregation was decided upon because "some of the white women are from Southern States." Of course it would have been possible to indulge in romance with the whites of the North and Far West, but this never occurred to the jim-crow War Department officials. Its entire procedure—unpatriotic, unnecessary, unChristian and thoroughly asinine as it is, nevertheless is entirely in favor of U.S. traditions and by war secretaries under president Theodore Roosevelt. The black dead who sleep on French battlefields fought for a democracy their own families were never to know. Negroes were denied representation on draft boards and boards of appraisal. They were drafted into the army. The army provided sufficiently to place over them white officers. The order creating the 92nd Division reserved certain posts for white officers. They were segregated at war training camps, and on transports which crossed the Atlantic. In France, they were kept segregated, and by official order, they were advised not to cross the Atlantic as soldiers. They were drafted into jungle troops. The color line was waived promptly to place over them white officers. The order creating the gov't mission reserved certain posts for white officers. They were segregated at war training camps, and on transports which crossed the Atlantic. In France, they were sent to the French colonies where troops were advised not to record Negroes as brother soldiers. Official and concerted efforts were made to discredit the Ngo officers. Ngo officers for segregation which colored medical officers can be assigned. At home, hundreds of Negroes passed civil service examinations and were sent to war in bureaux to report to a "mistake" when they reported for duty. In some French cemeteries Negro troops were buried in segregated areas. True, the Negro in the World War made the supreme sacrifice which entitled him to every just consideration of the government to which he paid allegiance. He and thoughtful whites who gave utterance to their views under the impetus of a great victory could say as did the New York World, editorially, in 1918: War has sinister markings of its own, won in all battles, and for the color line across its front belt. Such is the thought that suggests it is the reason soldiers calling to mind the gallantry of our colored troops. And then the World refers to the fact that the Negro soldiers were decorated by the French authorities, "For extraordinary heroism under fire." The World continues: The words swear aside every consideration other than that of soldierly merit. The man who dares and protects himself, and engages in the war. So said the World, but the War Department did not concur. It brought the Negro troops back from France, on separate bases, and proceed without delay to discharge every Negro officer. The Army, the U.S. Army today is as much of a jim-crow institution as it was before the World War. Citizens' Military Training Camps are open every summer for white boys only. There are four Negro regiments in the regular army and but one Negro officer, and he is not on duty with his command. They are war law or the results of the war, the War Department is today the same bulwark of jim-crowism, it has always been. It neither learns anything nor forgets anything. Like a great citadel of prejudice, hypocrisy and racial hatred, it stands today where it has always stood—its motto embellished on its front wall is "We are Citizens." *Mim-Crow for all who enter here.* Judge Moss Lectures "If there were any precedent, I would sentence you to hang, despite your youthfulness [14]." "It is not my fault, but the supreme penalty [hanging] cannot be imposed." In such wise, according to newspaper reports, did Judge Robert Moss of the Anne Arundel county court at Annapolis MD criminals accused of murder, and assault with intent to kill. The function of a court is to hear evidence, weigh it, determine what, if any law has been violated, and punish as provided by law to fit the crime. In brief, a court is a place where justice is administered, justice being interpreted to mean justice, and justice being applied. Justice is blind. Our judges are therefore expected not only to be fair and impartial, but to act from necessity rather than choice. Public expressions of the judge should there therefore represent not what personally thinks or feels, but what law intends to be. No judge is above the law. None should wish to be. Justice may be tempered with mercy or severity, but personal vindictiveness and personal severity, no place in a court of justice governed by law. Bolting Heflin "Tom" Befin (Dem.

Last week the twentieth case was defended in San Francisco by a Scripps-Howard newspaper which was sued for $50,000 by Louis Gomez, whom it referred to as a "Portuguese Negro."

The contention of the San Francisco News is that the term is one connoting respect and esteem among white people in Dixie are not that civilized. Perhaps California may be.

Waxters courageous address before the Interdenominational and Interracial Ministers Alliance of the city last week in which he exposed conditions at Melville and Cheltenham, deserves the thanks of the entire city. Despite unanticipated injuries for the past years and the periodic protests of various individuals in these columns, Baltimore has slept contentedly while its semi-public reform schools for colored girls and boys have degenerated under the influence of inbreed criminals andadults. Judge J. S. Waxter's courteous address before the Interdenominational and Interracial Ministers Alliance of the city last week in which he exposed conditions at Melvaleen, Melvaleenham, despite unfavorable reports of grand juries for the past ten years and the periodic protests of various individuals in these columns. Baltimore has slept contentedly while its semi-public reform schools for blacks and whites have been closed and private management into breeding places for criminals and sadists. Judge Waxter's exposures include the following: 1. Sixty-five out of one hundred girls at Melvaleen school have some form of social disease, contracted for the most part within the institution. 2. In nearly every case girls are homosexuals. 3. No school, no recreation, and no toys at table. **taken.** Conditions at Cheltenham school for boys, slight- ness to blame for this? First of all, these conditions are to be blamed on those members of the board appointed by the governor, and those by the mayor to guard the state's and the city's interests. Their willingness to assume responsibility may be judged from their reaction to Judge Waxter's appointment. City Councilman J. Warren Burgess, white, recently appointed, has never been to Melvale. Mr. George M. Griffith, white, two years on the board, has visited the institution twice but has noted none of the conditions referred to in the memorandum of the Melvale board through negligence and incompetence, have been unable to discover conditions which Mrs. Marle O. Bauernschmidt, after one visit, described as "painfully unsanitary," requiring public intervention at once. Fixing responsibility in this case, however culpable, does not in fact clean up Melvale Cheltenham, who does not claim and reform the sadists there soon to be turned back into society to pollute it further. The bi-racial committee has offered its services. Its success in securing and administering new funds for city recreation under supervision of the Playground Athletic League has already been achieved.

Wilmington, N.C., Reader. Thanks to Reader Robison—Do Others Agree with the Policy he Suggests? To the Editor Here is a friendly suggestion for improving the greatest weekly paper published. I have noticed that you invariably present details of certain news items rarely mentioned by refined people. I have in mind two specific examples, namely: a father who was a teacher and a mother who appeared some months ago, and the 'Fake Doctor' affair appearing in the current issue of publishing of the names and photographs of these unfortunate in both cases has undoubtedly caused them much embarrassment.

The Proposed Jim Crow for Gold Star Mothers Is so Unpatriotic, so Un-Christian and so Downright BESTial that it Shocks Profoundly Every Thinking Negro. The Editor The War Department plans that the mothers and widows of Negro soldiers who fell in France are to be segregated from the mothers and widows of white soldiers, on their trip to France this summer. It seems incredible that our government could be so unkind and so ungrateful as to insult these men and the sense of the flag. We may not be able to prevent the issue of the order from the War Department, but I believe that a united protest is launched and carried out, and continued until the time of the pilgrimage, will have its effect. I also believe that if these men are so ungrateful, how much they will be humiliated on reaching France, they will refuse to make the trip. And the executive of an army, and the executive of a navy, attributed hundreds of men to our fighting force. I feel the shame and sting of this insult. We would be less than men if we allowed this insult to pass unchallenged. BROWN "W" BUILDOCK Grand Basileus Ongo PSI Phil Fraternity, Boston, Mass.

Being a great purpose and is a great power and in some respects is the greatest journal published by the race, but I cannot share in the term Negro.

MADE FORREST MUMMA Chips From The Quarry The Proofreader Talks For several weeks past these talks have been devoted to the apostrophe. The three uses of this punctuation mark in the English of the plural are: (1) to indicate an omitted letter or letters in a contraction, (2) to indicate the possessive case, and (3) to indicate the plural of letters, figures, signs and combinations of initials, the second and third, are. I believe, peculiar to English, among modern speakers, that this little mark performs such important functions in our language. It has been said that the test of his or her ability to properly use prepositions, as to actual knowledge that may be true, but as to practice, the most thorough test is the use of the apostrophe. If all nouns formed the plural "regularly," by adding 's' to the singular accent, they must be 's—the matter would be simplified; even then, there would be many persons who would not trouble themselves with the 'boy's teacher' (singular), and the "boy's teacher" (plural). And when another difficulty arises, with nouns which form their plurals, irregularly, such as "man, men" "goose, geese," in which cases the apostrophe precedes the "s" in both singular and plural possives, the limit of the ability of such persons to make careful distinctions is passed. And now—from a mistaken effort to eliminate hissing sounds—come a few writers who seem to feel that since we form the possessive by adding ONLY the apostrophe after plurals ending in "s", that the same ought to go for singular ending "s"—especially for proper nouns. Hence we have such phrases as "the Jones' horse," meaning the horse of the Joneses; and some even go so far as to use the same form to express an entirely different meaning; e.g. "the Jones" were there meaning the Jones family, with no idea of possession at all: which serves to call to mind the old lady who, to distinguish her mince pies from the others, marked the mince pies T.M. for "tis mince; and the others T.M. for "tain't mince.

Tuskegee Head Declares that General O. O. Howard, Civil War Hero, was Real Founder of Both Hampton and Howard. General Armstrong Declined Howard Presidency. Dr. Moton Praises White Persons Who Gave Negro Aid in Early Days. Charter Day Address (in part), delivered by Dr. Robert Russa Minton, principal of Tuckeeah (Ala.) Institute, at Howard University, Washington, D.C., March 3rd. The history of Howard University is closely entwined with the history of Hampton Institute in the state of the two schools, an association that is something more than casual. As Commissioner of the Freedom's Bureau, General Minton had a direct involvement in the establishment of the institution. Howard was founded in 1867 directly under the auspices of the Freedom's Bureau. Prior to this time and at the close of the Civil War, General Samuel Conway was assigned by General Howard to the direction of the activities of the Freedom's Bureau in the Fifth District, covering the territory of Virginia, which that time presented the most difficult situation under the jurisdiction of the bureau. laborers and sacrifices in the achievements and efforts of those leaders of the Negro race who are today at the forefront of the cause of racialement and interracial cooperation. For it is such men and women, which received their inspiration and initiation from the Freedom's Bureau under the direction of that great institution, for whom this institution is named. It is something to reflect upon that it was with the encouragement and support of General O. O. Howard that both Hampton University and Hampton Institute were established—the twin children of a wise and farseeing statesmanship. Dean Miller Insists He's Right in Defending Hoover Helped to Found Hampton In the course of this work, General Armstrong conceived the idea of a school as a medium for probation and mentorship, and so 1888 Hampton Institute was founded with the generous encouragement and cooperation of General Howard, through the Freedman's Bureau and the American Missionary Society with the assistance of private friends. Armstrong Offered Presidency About a year afterwards, General Armstrong received an urgent call to Washington from General Howard He responded promptly, and to this occasion he was appointed the presidency of Howard University. The offer was very fattering. Howard university had begun its work under the direction of two fine buildings were in the course of construction; the general outlook was most promising and even at that time the aim was to establish an institution of its kind in this country. The site was commanding and beautiful and General Howard was at hand. But in spite of these attractions, General Armstrong was careful to the undertaking at Hampton, and so it would seem that Genoa, Howard himself, assumed responsibility. No Limit to Education It is intriguing to contemplate what might have happened to Negro education if General Armstrong had accepted the offer of Howard would today be no less famous, and its work no different in character from what we behold at present. I myself have heard of the education of the Negro should not be limited to manual arts, that if any youth of the race showed promise in such a school as Howard University, should be given the encouragement and assistance which is offered in such a school as Howard University, should be given the room for speculation as to what would have happened to Hampton Institute. The success of that institute, in terms of energy, enthusiasm and devotion that were particularly characteristic of General Armstrong; and then, too, was the spirit of his pupil that happened to Tuskegee had there not been the conjunction of those two distinctive personalities. Armstrong and Washington were both spirit to his pupil, and the other to enlarge that vision and promote that idea to an extent undreamed of them in their own classes. Two Types of Schools All this brings to mind the fierce contention that for a time surrounded the development of the two types of students, boys and girls, and Howard respectively, stood. The two schools were founded at practically the same time; and it happens that the boys were colored blue and white. One pursued the path of classical and professional education, and the other pursued the path of industrial. The other called for each to have large and significant development. No one questions today the need of both types of education in the larger development of the larger race; and is most unfortunate that any controversy ever should be. Each person is entitled to any balanced progress of the race; and they are alike susceptible to a development worthy of any super-minded people. Carver and Just Our modern world is convinced that there is as much room for brains as there is for hands. We need needs which contribute to our material comfort and satisfaction, as in those things which contribute to our material comfort and satisfaction. Carver at work in his laboratory with the peanut today discloses to us secrets no less marvelous than Justin Hines. Both types of education had their beginnings in what we are pleased to teach in our classrooms. Classical education did not spring full grown from the brow of the Negro race, as did Minerva from the Roman Empire. Educational educational endeavor for the Negro began with elementary work. For many years thereafter, the burden of work was on the Negro, work and, now since the War, Negro colleges have begun to confine their activities exclusive to work. We still some that have their secondary enrollment. College Grade Vocational Work Industrial education has of necessity twenty years ago the majority of students in industrial schools were registered school employees; they are emerging into the field of college work, not duplicating the activities of classical institutions, and that has therefore been almost entirely neglected. Hampton and Tuskegee are engaged in the construction of a new school shall. I am sure, measure up to the same standards of intellectual and cultural value as may be found in the pursuit of the liberal arts. Tribute to Whites In this effort we are fortunate that from the beginning we have had the cooperation and the unselfish devotion of a host of men and women of another race representing the finest culture and the noblest traditions of our land from the North and also from the South, men and women who counted it a privilege to serve in the emancipation of a race from poverty and ignorance as their sires and kindred served to emancipate it from servitude. Without such aid, it is doubtful whether Negroes could have made the progress which has been manifested in these fifty-five years and today those who remain of that noble army have the proud satisfaction of beholding the justification of their The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly laborers and sacrifices in the achievements and efforts of those leaders of the Negro race who are today at the forefront of the education movement and interracial cooperation. For it is such men and women, who are many of which received their inspiration and initiation from the Freedmen's Bureau under the direction of that great and understanding leader, for whom they are named. It is something to reflect upon that it was with the encouragement and cooperation of General O. H. O. Howard that both Howard University and the University of Iowa raised the twin children of a wise and farseeing statemanship. Dean Miller Insists He's Right in Defending Hoover Dean Miller Insists He's Right in Defending Hoover Negro Interested Only Because Haitians are Colored. "Hoover not Sentimental, But is Moved by U.S. Investments in Haiti and the Monroe Doctrine. By KELLY MILLER My recent release on the Haitian Commission has provoked several sharp, and even abusive replies. It is always easier to cuss than to discuss. There is one outstanding reason why a Negro should have been placed on that commission, and that is, the Negroes wanted to be placed on that political patronage and race recognition rather than special service to the government. I believe and openly advocate that the Negroes should always be sought for every position. The "Distributive Principle" Approved On the other hand, I believe that places under the government should be allotted on the distributive principle, with due recognition of merit and very much desired to see, colored man sent on the Haitian Commission. I wrote a letter to the New York Herald-Terri strongly setting out the optional choice was Dr. Emmet J. Scott. There are, of course, any number of special needs, including intelligence and mental acumen to serve the government efficiently in the mission. The mission should be composed of experts. It is not a training school for special needs, but the capacity and the desire to learn. in San Domingo The color of the Haitians is but an incident in our occupation and supervision over that unhappy republic. Disorder is now breaking out in Santo Domingo. Recently we intervened in the internal control of the eastern half of the Haitian Island. We may have to do so again. No colored man ever dreamed of asking for participation in the pacification of this Negro- Republic. The only difference between the two ends of the island is that the Haitians are tinged with a little deeper hue. Our intervention in Cuba, Santo Domingo, Haiti, and Nicafagua is based upon our obligations under the Monroe Doctrine, the protection of the Panama Canal, and the safeguarding of the investments of our nationals in these countries. The Negro as a race has no particular interest in the Monroe Doctrine or the Panama Canal; nor has any Negro one dollar invested in Haiti or any other South American country. The泻essert interest, which the Negro has in Haiti is based upon the accidental identity of color, which, I confess, has considerable sentimental weight. But we should not be disappointed or surprised that such sentimental reasons do not outweigh in Mr. Hoover's mind, heavier international and economic considerations. Moton Commission Shows Hoover's Bent The educational commission outlined by President Hoover shows the importance of the sympathy. Dr. Moton was not designated to head this commission because he is deemed the most competent expert in adaptation of education. This commission has been competently completed by the inclusion of experts in the French language. The Dr. Mordecail Johnson, president of Howard University, will carry with him the commission's work, which is essential to complete the program. English Do not say "Had I have gone."

JONES Lights and Shadows in Haitian Probe Whether or not the Haitian Commission now in that Republic to advise Hover whether and when the U.S. marines shall get the interests of this country on welfare of the Haitian masses, the whole affair has furnished much food for thought. In the first place, upper class Haitians point out that even under inherent circumstances we have a bet- ter government in their government, we have in the United States and somewhat chide us because of our insistence on going over and helping them to break their chains of economic bondage while we are able to deal with them under an economic system almost as intelligent as theirs. Haitian natives point out that while they cannot elect the man of their choice because of the disaffection regime backed by the U.S. maritime we have similar conditions here in the Southland, and that they would feel more confidence in our proficiency and more experience in doing something here in our homeland. Furthermore, they allege that they have demonstrated their courage and willingness to risk life and death, and that there has been little done by as along this line since the days of the followers of John Brown. The fact is, when some of them were Wood, 60-year-old race woman was lynched with a steel cow chain for stealing two hams in North Carolina, and that as yet about the only reaction except lip service, they were international Labor Defense white youth—been up by police for agitating the 'affair' they have their misgivings as to what we effectively do to help their cause. They point to our lack of political cohesion and declare that 5,000,000 Jews in the United States are represented on every body in the country from the front down to the smallest municipal body of the hamlets, while we, with 12,000,000 population, do not stand together closely enough or long enough much in governmental matters. Even President Louis Borno—tremlining on a toterting throne built upon the exploitation of a proletariat which he and his musculature and look down upon must chuckle at the audacity of some of us. The fact is, we should be intensely interested in the outcome of the Haitian affair, but most of all we should see ourselves as some people abroad see us, and make us get busy. Our Disgrace and Shame at Melvale "I would hate a God to whom I had to sing hymns under such circumstances as girls live at Melvale," declared Mrs. Marie O. H. Bauersmacht, secretary of the Public School Association. "You can buy an apple, kissed a boy or girl without benefit of parental guidance, or engaged in a fight when a kid, you had better thank your lucky stars that fate did not lead you to a juvenile court and to an institution like the school for girls at Melvale, MD. The fact is, with conditions as they are there, it would be far better that you were cast into a den of leprosy than into this "institution" where delinquent girls are supposed to get the chance that similar girls get in better regulate If, also, you have seen, as this writer has, a woman who calls herself a mother have a daughter sent to a reform school or the so-called "savior," a woman of capability, you will understand what cruelutch of childhood it may be for a girl-whose misfortune it has been to be born of this kind of mother—to be conspired to such a place as Melaleu was described in ancient people in this paper last week. This is not only the shame of the state, the city, and the private board which governs the institution, but of every citizen in Baltimore. Certainly the people who have brought out into the open, there can be no Christian man or woman who can go to bed and sleep in peace as long as he or she has not done what he or she can to right it. We must remember is that, after a number of years, these girls, warped in body and arm, are turned loose upon the community to sow their harvests of sorrow and acquired viciousness—a harvest which directs, reaches any home or life in the city. With Our Facts? "General Employment a n d Wages," will be one of the main topics of discussion at the third annual fact-finding conference to be held in Atlanta this month it has been announced. For two years this gathering in the progressive North Carolina town has been the most practical meeting of the year, and when general purpose is to use facts as what we hope that this year some of the facts will be "how we have used the facts gathered during the past two years." Last year, for instance, it came up publicly at the conference that many of our wealthy and most philanthropic white friends, who gladly dispense charity to us, fail to give us the opportunity in their own industries that we need to keep us from always having to be Let us hope that among some of the facts found at the conference we have been, we can break through the economic race lines of our best white friends.

(ANP)—Professor Seagar of the Rockefeller Chair of Hygiene at the Central College at Portland, Ore., Thirdiad, recently expressed the opinion that West Indies Negroes are too old at 30. He remarks. "A preliminary survey I have just concluded, dealing with 700 workers on twenty sugar and cocoa estates, reveals that the workers are age at, and have had, blood vessels deterioration, and by 40, they are handicapped seriously, with their expectation of life shortened." He blames especially the extensive use of tinned milk and creme-filled also the unusually large proportion of income spent for tobacco and alcohol. Contrary to the general view that Negroes have excellent teeth, Professor Seagar declares the large percentage have defective teeth, the percentage have defective starch and sugar in their diet.

ASSISTANT HELD Real Writer of Libel Gets Short Term. KINGSTON, Jamaica.—On the ground that he did not write the libelous article alleged and that he was denied a jury trial, Marcus Garvey, sentenced to six months in jail for seditious libel of His Majesty's government, is free on bond. Garvey's attorneys complained bitterly that the magistrate had not the power to refuse a jury trial in the case of such a serious nature. The libel suit arose out of an editorial printed in Garvey's paper, "The Blackman," on January 14, just before his seat in the city council was declared vacant. The editorial was headed "The Vagabonds Again," and read in part as follows: What the Libel Was "The municipal council recorded yesterday the most atrocious, unprecedented deed of evil-daring yet witnessed in the annals of the colony. To understand the prejudice and hate, the immorality and the vice concentrated into this crowning act in a series of criminal efforts to injure a single individual and destroy the influence of his leadership among the people of his race, to realize tacit consent in deprivation. "We had long ago been convinced that excepting those few whose character from the saving clause in its utter reprobation, the Council presided over by Mayor Seymour and his successor, Mayor Vaz, were a group of vagabonds entirely opposed to the welfare of the country. "There is an evident attempt to goad the people of this country to take the law in their own hands. All the people that be are joined in arguing the people to do something desperate." Writer Got Three Months T. A. Alkman, literary editor, who actually wrote the article, was found guilty and sentenced to three months in prison. J. Coleman Becher, chief manager, also indicted, was set free. Mr. Garvey declares that he was merely a trustee of the newspaper, although the responsible head, and knew nothing of the article until it was published. Garvey said that he had nothing more to do with the Blackman than with the Negro World, another U.N.I.A. paper published in New York. The court stated that Garvey exercised any care or caution over the paper and was therefore responsible. BETTER TEETH for BETTER HEALTH GOOD teeth make all the difference in your child's health.

Play Ball One of the entertaining features of the famous Poincina and Breakers hotels is the semi-weekly ball game played between teams made up of employees of the hotel. The last week brought out an unusually large crowd of rich guests in that the proceeds were donated to the Royal Poincina colored hospital, which was built here some time ago as a hospital for Joe McLane, highly efficient and respected head waiter of the Poincina.

She is an accomplished artist and one of the smartest entertainers in "the Old New York." Dance Halls By LEVI H. JOLLEY We have received many requests for information concerning the Bat Des Arts which was held at the Monumental Elks' Hall, last Thursday and Friday. Before we go further into details, through the management, we wish to inform our listeners that this is station A-F-R-O, the voice of News broadcast from Baltimore. Now here goes. There were three prizes awarded to young women, the male of the species failed for the first time in the three years of the affair to figure in the money. Miss Zedda Bonsi, 2015 Madison Avenue, who was garbed in an all-race Colonial dress; with a flowing train and a little two by four old fashioned bonnet to match, covering a mass of black curls that the envy of the bobbed-head tippers, entrusted to the museum. With an old swagger that would have done honor to One-cye Dick, the gunman, Miss Dorotty Ryan, 124 Mosher Street, too, took the second prize as her boot for the night's job. She was attired in a pirate suit. Mrs. Catherine Raw, 563 Presstman Street. one of the many young women wearing jaywalkers of yellow and black, with large palteons and wide swees was given the third prize. The young men—yes, they were men judges—who gave the wholesale awards to the seminine group, were big writers and critics, "Flashlight," Henderson, the photographer, both of the World's Greatest Paper, the APROAMERICAN, and the Theodore Upshur, popular musician and song --- Many things were missing this year that hitherto were in abundance first, the canopy of balloons that had the ceiling, and the lights of varned hues, secondly, the many bottle toters who call themselves "doctors" and dispense medicine and community known as Jump Steady"; thirdly, the favors, trinkets and little things as memory gifts. But naturally the Mexicans, sheiks, Spanish seniors, senors and women who were represented, all except one—the native African. And to think, the dance was said to be "Dawn in the Jungles." It was hotter in the place than any jungle could possibly be, but the setting was not complete as there were beasts. It wasn't Dawn in the Jungles at all, it was midnight Hallowen, on Pennsylvania Avenue. Before all the above had started the Coquette Girls' Club and the Rameses Club gave a little vaudeville skit with songs and varied type dances. The audience seemed uneasy and were impatient for the grand costume parade. La Palma Club, as usual, had their representatives, Zackary Hickey, Joseph Jones and Michael of the Bachelors Club, in dark trousers, stiff shirts dress collars and ties and white silk coat. The affair was interesting and enjoyable with music, furnished us with a large collection of Wildcats and down stairs by Henry Thomas and his Synopaters, where a miniature cabaret was being held with every thing that goes to make up a first class night club with its highs, high prices and entertainers. For a real ball, under the title of "Dawn in the Jungle," the tickets should have been similar to those to the Beaux Arts Ball in the tropics this year bore this warning: "Only those whose costumes conform to the rules governing them on the back of this ticket will be admitted." The back of the ticket was bare: One of our announcers of this station attempted to write a letter to his sweetie. He has what is generally known in newspaper work as a serial writer, with one finger, and when in the throes of creating bull, he used it, so much that afterward he had to carry his finger in a sling for several days. Now we come to the end of the half column of reading matter from station A-F-R-O. The announcement is, the next will be historical amusements of old dances. This is a request number, coming from Mrs. Hertletta. Squire. One memory goes back to the day when the persons designated as the old fellows danced the square dances as the Lancers, and the Guildhall as before. The announcement put in his appearance upon this immature sphere. Such dances as the Schottishies, South Carolina, Virginia Reel, were the graze-thirty years ago, and to be exact, those dances beer-done later. They were polls done, good recreation and enjoyment. PLAYHOUSES AND PLAYFOLK Give "Wade in de Water" Jeroline Hensley's daring drama of Negro Life, "Wade in de Water", which was tried out at the Cherry Lane Theatre early last fall, arrived in Harlem, March 4th, for an indie film at the Cherry Lane Theatre, 202 West 136th Street. A cast headed by Inez Clough Hensley Winfield, Larril Lorell, Olivia Moore, Lella Gardner, Adey May Benson, Jennifer Duncan, DeWitt Spencer, Beatrice Wells, includes a group of jubilee singers formally the "Great Day" Singers, under the direction of J. DeWitt Spencer known as the Cottonwood Croppers. Miss Hensley's play, which is built up from reality, is her first offering to the Negro theatre and will serve as the second production for the New Negro Art Theatre. The play is in the second half of the play, the aid of very few settings, Mr. Winfield, the director, will bring this very daring story of the time of 1885 to life at the tiny studio in the Urban League building, during the summer and Sunday evenings only of each week, and will run at the studio for three weeks, after which it will be shifted to another place and the third play which is now being read with replace the Negro Theatre will be strictly professional and all plays will be produced with the object of reaching other cities. Last fall, Mr. Winfield made a speeched performance at the Boston Community Theatre for the presentation of his work and "Wade in de water" will be the first production of the New Negro Art Theatre on the original cast to enter Boston. Whitman in "Fast Mile" Ernest Whitman is scoring heavily in the new criminal play, "The Last Mile," which is being hailed as the perfect play. Whitman plays a role of a man doomed to the electric chair, whiling up his spirituals. The critics are enthusiastic over his voice which has thrilled many Harlem audiences and which was wasted in the late, "Harlem." Stating that the cast is "perfect," Burns Manile of the N.Y. Daily News describes the reasons he likes the show. This is more than a tribute to Whitman; it is a conquest. "The Last Mile" is assured of a long, successful run. Stage Chinese Revue William Benbow's All - Chinese musical revue, "Jim's Sing of Lucky Day!" is being presented at the 2013 Colon, Panama, with much success. Mr. Benbow is the first producer to stage a Chinese show and will take on 15 performers to Costa Rica and Trinidad for unlimited engagements. Revue Clicks in Africa The musical revue of Louis Douglass, now on the Continent and in Northern Africa, has been ebn jellips the Musical Francais Company of Cecil Sorel. The success of the Douglass unit in competition with the Comedie troupe is considered remarkable as Mire. Sorel is a stay of international prestige. Constantinople, Cairo, Alex. Constantinople, the southeast European capital like the American jazz outfit and patronize it enthusiastically. None of them was an individual dance, as are most of those of today. They were executed in squares or in groups, consisting of from four to twenty couples, often with a man who "called" the various figures or the ones they progressed. They were known as the "Caller" was an expert at the dances and the object was to see which group would execute the most difficult maneuvers with greatest success. These dances, especially the square dances, with four couples, were capable of in variety of figures carried out in different sequences, some of the combinations being quite intricate. The dancer while doing one figure or step did not know what figure or movement was to follow, until near until times a group was one being done. Off-times a group was one being muddled and then the fun enjoyed muddling the person who was caught off balance and unaware. In thos. days there was real dancing, a type higher in moral unplift, a type lower in campus, "Colleiate Bunn," and "Splitling the Eagle." It would be great dancers waltz with a steady balanced step with form and poise as they did in grandson's time instead of the way they do it now. Then ones had to learn to dance. But now when they want to learn dance they lack a physical culturalist or lit-lit sense as an instructor. They learn, to wrestle and the rest comes easy. It'sNobody'sBusiness DON'T ever tell anyone that you have been to the Monumental City if you can't truthfully say that you've met Jim.

But for those who haven't, the story is going the rounds that a certain one of the town's big box stores boarded the house one day, observed that something was missing. Not that something that had been already there had been removed, but that there was something missing that had never been seen. The gentleman mused aloud, was a genuine silver service.

Rosamond Johnson's "Three Questions," favorite of all recitalists, includes the ballet "Crimson" and "Troubled in Mind"; Negro spiritual, an arrangement by Will Marion Cook, impresses in both cover and musical treatment.

Little Creative It is, however, disappointing that the Negro satisfies himself with the "patching up," as it were, of old garments. One can count on one hand the garments of those who are weaving beautiful things from the life they see about them, or from the gossamer threads of the imagination. On the other hand, the market is becoming flooded with compositions of Nordics and South Africans of Negro life, or from some chance note dropped by a black man. The following are offered as examples of the white man's activity in this direction: David Guion, white who has for years been a member of the Darkey Spirituals," has contributed "Five Imaginary Songs of Slavery," also "Alley Tunes." A suite of three numbers which include "The Lonesome Whistler," intriguing piano number, which, he frankly admits, was suggested by a "lonesome darkey whistling as he had been the alley in the dead of night." The second in the suite is built on a bass guitar, and the third is "on" on his harmonica. The third is an imitation of a Baptist church service from the opening hymn to the service.

From Bible Story Robert Littell, of the World, reviewing the piece, said: "Green Pastures," which was suggested by Roark Bradford's Bible stories from the book *An His Story*, the story of the Bible from the Garden of Eden to the Cross, in eighteen homely reverent scenes, made into something quite unlikable anything you have ever witnessed. The beauty of the scenes of earnestness and humor of an all-Nero cast, plus the stunning spirituals rolling out between the scenes, of Hall Johnson's chorus, and some of the most beautiful sets and lighting effects ever imagined by Robert R. Martin. "It is something at once so moving, so intimately childlike and simple, so lovable, laughable and majestic, that you feel you have seen it all." The story but in the mind of some Negro as he sat listening to his preacher tell the story, with explanations and little touches out of every day, his long but simple sinful humans he created on this small dark earth. The Lord Jehovah in Cast "The Lord Jehovah, white haired, venerable and dressed as some pious, wiggy, wiggy through the whole play as through a fairy story. And near him are Adam and Eve and Noah and his ark, and the angel's club and angels with white wings and chocolate faces, and the archangel Gabriel and the bell-voiced charwoman who clean out Jehovah's office and dust his desk. "It will move you to tears, and make you gasp with the simple beauty of Old Testament pageanty, and give you a toast before I. for one am too shaken by it, too full of its lovely pictures and sudden humor and gigantic, intimate reverence to do more than blurt out that 'Green Pastures' and those ungettable Negro actors have done something which has never been done before and will make 1303 remembered when other years are forgotten." In the opinion of Burns Mantle of the Daily News: "You may travel to many theatres without seeing a more sincerely Berrary character than Richard B Harrison as the Lord, or truer characterizations than those of Tutt Whitney, the Noah; Charles Moore, who doubles as the preacher and Isaac; or Wesley He Gabriel, or Alonzo Fenderson's best friend." "For the song service alone, I think, 'The Green Pastures' should be heard as well as seen, and it is, as said, eloquent in the fine simplicity of its writing and staging, as well as this season's outstanding novelty." Keywood Brown, in the New York Television went into ceties: "I would rather have written this pla than made Lindbergh's hop to Paris. Marc Connellly, The Green Pastures' resurrection, stirring at stirring than anything I have ever seen in the theatre." John Anderson of the Journal said: "It is a brave attempt at a difficult thing and it made an evening that, in spite of its failings, will be memorable. Robert Edmond Jones has caught the mood of it superbly, and ennounced it greatly the more than both fervent, illuminating, notably in the cases of Richard B. Harrison, Wesley Hill, Tutt Whitney, Alonzo Fenderson and Daniel L. Haynes, the spirituists, sung between the periods, mainly to be aware that they are gorgeously cone and deeply effective." **Pagant of Palms** From Robert Seldes of the Evening Graphic: "A pagant and a fantasy, full of humor and beauty, are mingled in the unusual fable of the pasture, for the stage. Perhaps the easiest way to describe it is to say that it is the essence of the Negro spiritual put into the Negro's own terms of paganism, the pathos the rhythm and melody, which 'The Green Pastures' enjoys it will serve for a definition." Robert Garland of the Telegraph, prose writer: "The Green Pastures" is of a certainty, the season's most outrageous and ingenious play. And one of the most enjoyable." Brooks Akinson of the Times said: "From almost any point of view Green Pasture Pleasant fantasy London Artists Rave Over Photo of Nashville Girl BY IVAN HAROLD BROWNING LONDON, England. — It was during Christmas of last year that Mrs. Maurine Browning received a beautiful photograph of Miss Katie Boyd, a typical Nashville, Tenn., belle, and all during the holidays this most unusual picture attracted much attention as it sat on the piano in the living room of the Browning home in Longacre. A well known London artist visiting over this most (as he said) adorable looking person's photo and asked permission to take it to a private studio exhibit off Bond Street. It at once became the talk of the exhibition, and when this artist was told recently that Miss Boyd was expecting to visit Mrs. Browning this summer, said immediately he let him make a life size painting of what he calls the most attractive girl he has ever seen in all his experience as an artist. Miss Boyd is the daughter of the well known Dr. Henry Allen Boyd of the great Baptist publishing company at Nashville, and Mrs. Browning, who forwarded them pleasure to Miss Boyd's visit with her in early summer. George Dewey Washington I am wondering if we are going to see the popular George Dewey Washington in London this summer. A number of his friends are already asking about him and I am sure he and his charming wife and daughter will be eagerly welcomed on this side again. He indeed is a charming London by his wonderful singing and even now, "Down among the Sugar Cane," which he introduced and made popular, is often associated with him whenever heard. Come again, soon.

Miss Jackson takes top honors with the Tack am, the internationally known Oriental marvel. I wonder would she be allowed to do this in America?

For occasionally there come a time when those names hardly matter in comparison with the sublime beauty of the complete impression.

He plays of emotional depth and spiritual exaltation—in fact the divine comedy of the modern theatre." low, and a perfect gentleman. "Hallelujah." Closes "Hallelujah." King Vidor's apotheosis of the Negro, which I predicted would hardly run over two weeks, has been withdrawn with great disapproval to imagine that the reason is its peculiar definition of Christian morality, but rather that the British public has demonstrated its indifference to the Negro problem. I fancy that the British public has harder to appreciate. In this country, as I have said before, they do not understand such pictures or plays as "Hallelujah" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Uncle Tom's Cabin, a typical American cryer, who is a typical American and president of the European Motion Picture Company, and who brought James Lowe to London, presenting him in a scene that had a long run at the London Pavilion a year or so ago, said that even in the case of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," his company lost over 20,000 pounds sterling (approximately $100,000) during the people did not like the plot of the picture nor the religious side. Other than Mr. Lowe's personal appearance on the stage, the picture was really a failure. I have often heard it said that the English audiences are the easiest in the world to understand. That only holds true if they like you. Garland Anderson Lauded Hannen Swaffer, of the Daily London Express, speaking of Garland "A Negro on 'Uplift'" "The most novel, perhaps, was the address which Garland Anderson, a first nighter, gave to the meet in the public house, on 'Is Success Available to All?' Anderson, who has been to see me with his play, 'Appearances', which he wrote in the intervals of answering the telephone in a hotel in San Francisco, has the idea that you want to hear it by the fears of your subconscious mind. In this way, he says, he won through from obscurity. In some weeks of wishing well to everybody and persisting, he has got the money for a London production of his play. He gave the gallery first nighters at an hour and a quarter although, mostly at the rate of 200 words a minute eloquently, and with such success that, they felt it, he would be filled the third hour he spoke. Praises for Leslie Hutchins "Since the days of Jix only one Acre, is looking up. "In the early hours of yesterday morning it was packed to the doors. The cause, mainly, was Hutch, who had been sent back to a party of Mme, de Pena, in Berkeley-square, at which he had already been singing. "He was still doing so when I left the house at four o'clock in the morning, and I have no reason to suppose that he had ceased to do so before day broke." The Four Harmony Kings "Six times they endeavored to leave the boards, and six times the audition not content: with that, made them render, by request, that famous old Negro spiritual, 'I Got a Robe.'

THE AFRO-AMERICAN The DARK KNIGHT In keeping with his reputation as a very wealthy man, the party which Akerman Durant was giving for his early daughter, Lyla, was one of the most elaborate of Chicago's social season. Over the highly polished floors of his palatial home, gay young couples fielded gracefully to the strains of the orchestra which had been imported from New York especially for the gala occasion. As one side of the large room, just outside the tall French windows which opened onto the well-kept garish half surrounding the house, the Rottick Herrick stood fascinatedly watching the dancers. His position in the shadows threw the gay spectacle inside into bold relief. He watched enviously as a slim, dapperly-washed, tan youth swung by with a pretty brown girl in his arms. The girl was his hostess. Lyla, who had met for an instant becomen her fled into the protecting gloom. As soon as he had entered the room, and had seen the immaculately groomed men, and the expensively groomed men, he had the expensively groomed men in his ill-fitting, rented room — and what was worse, who had unfamiliarity with such an event. He was from Golden Arrow, when in rugged country no smart attire were held. Before coming to Chicago with the idea of entering the country, he even worn a tuxedo. He remonstrated with his lawyer, Martt. Thompson, that he interested in attending any dinner parties, but the latter had come alone, Rod. "The young man, no urgent. 'If you are going to school here you might well get a partner, and enter your job.' And you see Lily Durant. Boy, she a little queen if there ever was. But, don't want to meet a lot of people. 'God had protested her.' They righted me." Martin regarded his friend with pride. "Boy, where the devil have been since I left Golden Arrow," I whispered. I know you. If you have, you sure don't like you've had any contact. Dana like a quitter. Come on and go." In no quitter." Rod had protested. "It to your dear old party Dana laughed. "It won't kill you. he assured him. "You'll have a real time." So Rod had himself a tuxedo and armcuffs. His friend to the crowd. In spite of his out-of-fire feeling, he was glad that he had cared for his glimpse of Lydia had all an eye, more than his friend he assumed. To summon his courtyard enough to inspire him to his way boldly through the three of admirers which always to surpass him with the tan youth, and he to dance with him. But whether he could not. "The dancing had halted. Out—one his friend Martin pushed and came through the door." "What's the matter Roddy?" he asked. "I haven't seen you inside here as arrived. Your hostess is here and has a good time, but how can you then you won't even come in? She added me to find you and bring you to the dead or alive. Let's go!" And stuffed his feet nervously, "Gee marty," he expostulated, "I'm going to lie." He laughed, "If the lawyer commanded bravely, "and come on in!" He took one of Rod's arms as though he were going to really drag him inside. He go! I will gracefully, officer." He joked, "I will be here, then he followed him dolder into the brightly lighted house. A she two made their ways across the glimmering floor many eyes, feminine, were turned in their chair. Roe noticed this and it was already gracious. He could not know that it was his broad shoulders, and that ruggedly handsome, bronze shoulders which drew the glances. He thought that people were staring before his suit was ill-fitting, so that he could not be expected to glance before his hostess, he could only utter unintelligibly. So you're the bashful young man in the wild wist. Lyla greeted me with, "Where have you been all framed?" and galped, then waved his hand simply in the general direction of the French doors. "Oh - er - out! You stammered." He stammered. "You were bashful." He delightedly. "I didn't were any such young meninance. Don't they have girls out manhattan?" er - or - of course? Rod muttered. Then suddenly the thought superimposed in his mind came blurred. "But not like you!" Oh! Such a nice compliment! "Good happily." And I do believe "You must be that girl." "Yes, man that - that is, I - you bet, I mean it." the tall brazil youth wondered. He kidding me? Lyla demanded suspiciously of Martin. The latter was immensely enjoying God's confusion.

GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INGESTION ACID STOMACH HEARTBURN BLOOD STAIN GASSES-NAUSEA Basnfuliy, Rod tells Lyla at her insistence about his life in the West, and of the hopes and ambitions that he told her. He is more accustomed to steers and horses and cow-boys than he is to gorgeous flappers like you. He made a little face at him. "Never mind the apple-sauce, Marty," she told him. Then to Rod: "But Mr. Herrick you must tell me all about steers, and cow-boys, and things. You will, won't you." Rod: "You must go gently." "Sure I will" he promised. W'iout preliminaries, the orchestra swung into a rippling waltz. Martin nudged Rod and whispered softly, ask her to dance, you big bone-head! "Will you — that is may I —" Rod stammered looking at Lily helplessly. "You betcha!" Lily srled, mocking him, as she floated into his arms. Rod's dancing at best was very sketchy, and waltzing was decidedly not his forte, as the girl discovered by the time he had troddon on her silver slippers twice. Already dazed by her fragrant nearness, he could do little to help his humiliation. He swung his arm. For doors his hair was down solidly on one of hers. Bravely the girl tried to hide her pain, but could not. "Do you mind if we sit this one out? I should try to smile." out?" she asked, trying to smile. Rod was objectively misgiven. "Gee! You don't know how to dance," the same sapphire dressed, tan youth whom he had seen dancing frequently with his hostess pushed rudely between him and the girl. "My dear," said the newcomer with smooth solicitation, "did that big girl get into it?" Several people around them had stopped dancing. Lily added to smile.

He hovered around the girl with a proprietary air which was sharp embarrassment into dull anger. "I'm sorry. I was so clumsy, Miss Durant," he said gravely, "and I hope you will forgive me." Reggie turned on him. "Big boy," she sneered coldly. "I hear that you are from Montana. I should advise you to out there with the beer of the beer." Rod suffered and seemed about to strike Reggie. Lyla broke in angrily: "Why Reggie? She exclaimed, 'hay, you were here!' this Herculeo you!'" She turned her arm pulled him out of the doors. "Please don't mind him—what he said, Mr. Herrick." she begged as they walked down the broad steps into a wave of laughter swept out after them. Lily felt the muscles of Rod's arm swell and grow into rock like hardness. The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 8, 1930 "Eow terribly strong you must be," she flattered as she sank gracefully into a wicker garden chair. She stood Bed into one bedding. "You please try to forget Regenrei's wudeness," she begged, "and tell me about yourself." "There's nothing much to tell," Rod sighed. "At least nothing that would interest you." She pushed ahead and tell me anyway, she commanded. Slowly at first, then with increasing freedom as he sensed her interest in his recital he told her of his life in the rugged hills of his home state. Father had taken out a home-stead claim long before Rod was born, he told her, and after several years of bitter tortoil had it into a cattle ranch. From earliest child, Rod told her, he work-horse horses, taken part in roundups, and done many other such things pertaining to ranch life. During the winter his mother had made him attend school in Broken Arrow, the nearest town, which was Through grade and high schools he related, he had ridden on his horse to and from school despite being a student. His mother's greatest desire, he explained, had been to see him thoroughly educated. She had died just as he was ready to enter college two years previously, but father had felt that he would be of more service at home on the ranch than at the State University. Rod had insisted that he be allowed to attend. He was 19th birthday, which had been a month ago. his father had given him a letter left by his mother with the provision that it he given him on the day he attained manhood. Rod had disclosed the horror of the lonely ranch life which Rod's mother had suffered uncomplainingly. She begged him to strike out for himself, and him to buy a car to cattle raising in the desolate range country. "I've not been able to figure out just what she meant." Rot, told her, "but right or wrong I'm bound to learn what she meant. I grew wistful as he continued: "But I love that country. It's big. It's a man's country. Why you ought to see the mountains in the early morning and at sunrise. The air is clear and fresh—not like this awful gasoline air in your town." He chuckled aloud. "But say, you should have heard my old man cuss when I told him to go to school. He's tough, my father is, but way down he's got a fine, big heart. He just believes every man should stand on his own feet. When he left school he told me to get an education I need not depend upon him for any financial support. So I've got to find a job." He concluded whimsically. Lykh had been silent, absent in the glorious country out there; she told him, "it makes me realize just how futile life in the city is. We just need to and go place to it. We grub to me and don't care how we get it." "My father is a politician. Folks say terrible things behind his back, but they almost never do. Sometimes I wish I could get away from all of it — it so false, so unreal. Rod was fully at his case with the police, and when you let me take you back out to Golden Arrow with me?" he asked half seriously. "Golden Arrow . . . that’s a lovely name," the girl mused. She laughed. "I might take you up on that one of you." They heard voices calling her name, she leaped to her feet hastily. "Oh, my dear," she exclaimed. "I'd completely forgotten my party. It probably time for everyone to hear what I think of me." "Seems like I can’t do anything but get you in trouble." Rod said ruefully. "I should have known better than to have kept you out here listening to my chatter all this time." That was what he demanded as they strolled toward the house. In the darkness she stumbled against him so that for an instant he held her in his arms to keep her from falling. Her nearness, her fearlessness, her shyness, as they strolled toward the Little Lily; he whispered, his shyness completely gone. "I do like you so." And I like you, Rod." she returned softly, "ever so much. You were so near me." she neared her. "Listen Rood," she murmured swiftly, "a bunch of us are going to the Swamp Hut. a cabaret after the party. I want you to go along. Will you? "I'll go anywhere with you." Rod told her. By now she had all of her clothes on. Lily's guests were waiting, with a furious Reggie skulking in back of them. Gaily they teased Lily, and Rod, and their swift, friendly bartender made him feel a part of them. He grinned easily at their shrieks, fully ignoring their glances. Only those guests who were cabaret-bound remained in the house and they were putting on hats and coats. "Make it snappy, Lily." one of them called. "It's three P.G. now and we've got to go along to the ole Emboldened by Lyla's invitation, which had seemed to him to be really sincere, Rod brazenly took Lyla's arm as they went down the steps toward the cars. Reggie flung the arm and the other side of them. The Durant car with its chauffeur stood purring at the curb. Rod helped Lyla in, and climbed in after her, almost stepping on his disgruntled rivals' feet. In the faint radiance of the sunshine of the handsome machine, Rod grinned family at Lyla as Reggie flung himself nuzzling in the car behind them and slammed the door viciously. Wild, barbaric music swept passively out to meet Lyla's party as they entered the Swamp Hut. The pace was one of the most notorious night clubs in the city. Palms, and the tropical growths gave an effect of the jungles, and the orchestra clad in flowing hummus and brilliant colored turbans, added to the fierce A water guided their observantly to a group o' tables next to the dance floor. after they had checked their snacks, they smoked, incense, and the faint odor of liquor. Couples swayed in sinuous abandon on the small polished dance floor. They almost choked trying to breathe the sophisticated heavy air.

After attending the glasses, bottles, jingles al, and wines with cubes of ice before them. Rod won'cured even at this, so soon understood when various youths at their tables began, pouring what was obviously whisky and gin, into the Reggie had drawn an unusually large silver flask from his pocket, and from it he poured some of the liquid into Lya's glass, then he poured some more from the glass. As Lya raised her glass to her lips her glance encountered a hurt look in Rod's eyes. Slowly she set it down. Reggie did not notice her action, as he was pouring his drink down his throat recklessly, as soon as he had finished he poured himself another drink. "You oughtn't to drink so much, Reggie," Lya warned him. "A whole lot you care," the youth sneered, his voice already rising. "I want. One of the men at another table offered Rod his flask but Rod refused it politely. Lya's friends exchanged amused glances. Reggie nad emptied his glass again. He was patently drunk now, and stood steadily holding his glass in hand. "My girlish thrown me down," he announced, awishly. "She tell I trishib big tack siten him. I know what I can do. I uncertain wave of his tree hand. "Know what I goin' do folks?" he asked. "I'm gonna sock 'm in his nose!" Before Rod caught the portent of Reggie's wager the latter to spring him into the dog spring to his feet in just time to receive another blow from the drunken Reggie's fist. For an instant the young western seeme to about to spring. The dog became stern. He scapped back from the table and stood, breathing hard. At in- start of the hostilities the other guests in the party had leaped to thin feet expected. Reggie's blows they sank back into their chairs. "Aw ness a damn coward," Reggie muttered. "I oughta sock him again." He advanced, hal staggering toward his back on him and starte' away. Lyla arose tooily and took Reggie's arm. "Come on my cave man," she commanded. "What you're going to do is dance with me. Reggie's dance with me and well as guided toward the dance floor. As she passed Rod her eyes held a look or contempt. "Coward," they seemed to say. Rod dropped his head. Wave on wave or the throbbing music filled the room. It killed a buddha. He left the whole affair. He took the table to push his way ruthlessly through the thick crowd on his way to the checkroom for his hat. A sudden comotion in front of him attracted his attention. The crowd just in time to allow him to see a hawk nosed, saffron skinned man, with evil, leeing eyes, snatch Lyla out of Reggie's embrace. Reggie stood regarding the other man foolishly, then started uncertainly back as better, suckled vigorously. Lyla's race was twisted with fright. She pushed desperately at her captor, who by now held her tightly in his arms, but he only laughed, the prey laughed ostentatiously. A dissipated looking youth close by grinned lawningly and said: "Wolf's done another gat away from her man. He can get away with anything, but the clustered dancers as he had smashed his way through opposing teams when he had played halfback for his college. In an instant he reached them. He jerked Lyla dety out of his arms, and pushed her behind him. The man called Wolf grinned evily, "Come on sucker," he grated confidently, "You're gonna get hell knocked out of you!" He danced for a second invitation. Swiftly he neeited, at the Wool's head, then ripped a tri-hammer blow to his stomach. Rod's opponent bent double in agony at which the youth promptly crashed a short, "h-ing-like" punch on his jaw. The girl was dropped. Wolf dropped heavily, to the floor. Then Lily's scream caused the victorious youth to leap to one side just in time. to dodge a sweeping blow from the crowd. She leaped suddenly at him out of the crowd. People stamped off the floor wildly. Lily stood watching in fascinated horror as two more men closed in on the bronze tooth.

How Egypt's Ugliest Eunuch Became Its Black Emperor Black Kafur, Naked, Ugly, with Fat Stomach, Fallen Arches and a Ring in His Lip, Ruled Egypt for 22 Years. By J. A. Rogers You have heard of men born about A.D. 908. The prejudice who have had to struggle was against the pure black man; largely, an, while there were no seg- against great odds that life regulation laws, it was strong. You have heard of men who have had to struggle against great odds that life had imposed on them; perhaps, even you yourself might feel that you have a complaint or two in this regard. Maybe you're justified, but have you heard the story of Kafur? Kafur had all the usual handicaps and then others. No one with health and strength need be discouraged after hearing what he had to undergo. First of all he was black—"a deep, shiny black." A black skin, when possessed by a man in parts of the East was an object of contempt; perhaps one had better say, of hate. The cause? It is not necessary to go into it here; suffice it to say that the black woman was admitted into the harlem of even the Caliph or Emperor on an equality with the white one, and that her sons, as we shall show another time, even sometimes sat on the throne of the mighty Mohammedan empire. The period of which we are writing is the tenth century; Kakur was youth weaved swiftly in and out of his attacker's reach Lyla found herself marveling at his grace, marrying at his grace. Curiously the thought came to her that he was more graceful fighting than dancing. On his face there was a strange, half-smiling face, as though he were remembering other such battles, and with similar force. One of them knocked another of the men into a crumpled heap, toward the remaining man Rod Jeaped likely. The one cast a frightened look at his enemy and attempted to tore from the floor only to be knocked down, and then his gloved even quickened with omnious intelligence. Deliberately he drew a blue-stick automatic beneath his coat. And with coil deliberation he laid on the ground, later unaware of his danger, turned to look for Lyla.

Rogers born about A.D. 908. The prejudice was against the pure black man, margely; an, while there were no seg- regation laws, it was strong. Another handicap, Kalur was as ugly and as fat as a walrus, and waddled around like one. He had spay feet, fallen arches, and a huge belly, and when he walked on the streets he turned amusement for the small boys who flocked around him. This is how the most noted poet of that day, described Kalur: "A Negro whose lip is half as large as himself, and whom they style the moon of darkness." Almost in the same breath, he is called a "hippopotamus." To continue the enumeration of katrin's handicaps: He had been caught wild in the Sudan, and not only was he unable to read or write out, he was an entire stranger in Egypt, at that time. It was then dominated by white people, descendants of the Greeks, the Polemys, and the Romans. Surely enough handicaps have been named to suffice for a half a dozen men. But the worst has been the Frenchman, Destined for the haren, he had been taken at an early age and emasculated. His manhood and virility had been removed by the surgeon's刀. Yet, in spite of all, he rose to the rank of the royal blood, courtiers, merchant princes, great poets, writers, and even kings fawned on Miraculous is the might of the human spirit when it decides to rise in spite of all obstacles. "Slavery and mutilation", says Biographic Universelle, "far from having degraded the soul of Kafur, caused rather to shine forth his genius... This man, coming from the lowest depths of degradation had all the virtues of a great king." Baron de Slane, noted translator of Ababian literature, says: "This able statesman was originally a slave employed in the most mental duties and created with the greatest contumely. But the poor Negro eunuch whose prominent belly, splay feet and perforated lower lip had furnished such subjects of laughter for his fellow-slaves had become the master of an empire" (Ibn Khallikan's Biographies.) Having been brought to Egypt, Kafur was sold to a native of Old Cairo, named Ibn Abbas; but the latter, finding himself hard up for money, took him one day to the market and offered him for sale. Nice, unlily, the slaves' ring in his lower lip fatally killed, and Kailo stood on the block while the passers-by laughed at him. The Prince-Al-Mejan, controller by with his splendid escort, heard the laughter and stopped to look.

What a line thing it would be to take that ludicrous creature and place him among the beauties in the haram of his master, the Emperor Al-Khshidh. Action followed. Height. How. Prince Al-Mejan casing his eyes over the splendid apparel and sack of the inquirer, named a high price. In reply the prince tossed numb pieces of gold and silver to the assk. Ibn Abbas shrugged his shoulders, but needing the money, pocketed it. The sum was small, not for Kaur it was a good bargain, the decided. He harmed Kaur went, while his uginess and comic appearance served to divert many a dull moment of the pampered beauties. Everyone good-natured. But it was not long before they stopped laughing at him, at least openly. Kaur, by devoting himself to study and to serving the emperor, was of his ability, to rise. Then at last Al-Khishidi, finding that he could be trusted above all others in the palace, and exceeded everyone; in understanding and carry-ing him to the dignity of prime minister. In Egypt, Syria, and other parts of the Egyptian empire, Katur stood next to the emperor himself. Be it noted, too, that in Al-Khishidi's palace were some very able and intelligent slaves. Among them were Fatik Al-Manjin, surnamed the Great, a Greek by birth, later toocrowned by Abdul Kaur, a Mohammedan a Jew, who himself, later rose to be king of Egypt. In those days slaves included men of learning and kingdoms taken in battle, greatest of all mathematicians, was a slave. Jo will thus be seen that Kafur had formidable rivals for the emperor's favor. After serving as prime minister several years, Kafur at last found the full power in his hands, Al-Khishidi, dying, had left the throne to his oldest son, Abdul Amyur. But being a minor, Kafur was named regent. Kafur now left for Egypt to place the young king on the throne. But no sooner had he departed than he was killed by Alopep, and great fear of the Kushidi dynasty, rose in rebellion and seized Damascus, with the intention of making himself master of the empire. But Kafur, returning with an army defeated him and forced him to take refuge in Greece, Years later Eddaulah returned with a powerful Greek army and seized Alopep, but Kafur, again going after him, utterly routed and killed him, then marching into Syria to inhabitants there a severe lesson. Other foes of the empire were similarly treated, among them being the black King of Nubia. The Egyptian empire was now stronger than before, and since the days of the Cleopatras. Then Abdul died, and was succeeded by his brother, All, who also died not long after. Kafur, who all the time had been the real ruler, then had his wife and mounted the throne himself. All the while he had been ruling with such wisdom and kindness that even his enemies began to forget his continued on Page Sixteen For that pain 12 er-Tablets OF Aspirin s. each genuine It acts so quickly; there's er own doctor will tell you n could hurt anyone.

Emily Johnson to Wed at High Noon Saturday. Hilda Anderson Confirmed at St. David's Church Last Week. Les Elites, a New Bridge Club, Organized. Baltimore Gossip. Well, Pansy, old top: March walked in prettily this week. Cold and clear and windy, in spite of the first signs of spring by the budding of the trees and the birds singing this way. Lent, too, is here when all social pleasures are supposed to be left on the shelf. Fasts and holy days now prevail, but a few interesting things have happened. An Informal Smoker. Gee, Pansy, no wonder the men folk don't like women at all of their social functions. When women are in the kitchen, they themselves comfortable, keep the room full of circles of cigarette smoke, with their knives if they feel so disposed, are not bothered or reminded to spread their napkin on their laps, to eat with them, to wish and as late as they wish. So in order to enjoy these pleasures the men get together and call themselves giving a stag—in other words no ladies allowed. So of the most enjoyable ones was given Saturday evening. Good fellowship was the spirit of the occasion, dearie, when the postal employees gathered at the Penn Hotel for an informal dinner, late last hour and later, while a buffet supper was being served, the group was entertained with numbers by Mattle Hite, entertainer from Sherrry's Night Club who appeared last week at the Royal Theatre. Of course, when the dawn of Sunday morning appeared, they as quietly went home to wifey dear or mother darling as they went home, they now believe that her boy retired at the proper time. However, you may take it from me that those attending the stag were: Arschell Morrell, G. Dorsey, M. Walker, J. A. Holmes, J. Jones, J. A. Holmes, J. Creditt, J. R. Soden, W. O. Davis Van Redmond, W.

Emily Johnson and Dr. Heber Wharton, from Saturday noon on, are going to live as one. They have been friends for a long time and understand each other well, therefore there's nothing to be expected but a happy, blissful fu- They are well thought of here and in other cities and are very popular among the society elite of our city. Emily, you know, is one of our city school teachers, and is the only daughter of Mrs. Harvey Johnson. The wedding will be at twelve, noon, on Saturday, with the Rev. George F. Bragg, rector of the church, officiating. Emily not only is a member of that church, but sits on the chair. We haven't gathered any more details concerning the wedding, but you shall have it when we get it. Hilda Confirmed. Just think, Pansy, Hilda Anderson is a real Episcopalian now. She was confirmed privately at St. David's Church Oakland, Bain Bancroft Tuesday, February 20. Rev. S. Tagart Steele is the pastor of that church, but I think the Rt. Rev. T. Edward Helfenstein, confessor, Hilda was the member of Grace Church, and now we are thinking that she will join St. Mary's, though no word from her one way or the other us. That she is sweet and lovable and will be a staunch member wherever she goes. Les Elites Bridge Club. A number of your matrons and misses, Pansy, who promote the club, organized them on last Thursday, as members of a new bridge club, "Les Elites." They have decided to meet regularly, to exchange regulations and rules which they have put together it's going to be quite an unusual club and quite a select little club. Alpha Williams is one, and from what I learn, she is the president. Mae Richards Taylor is the secretary. They may be involved also any treasurer, and others include: Gertrude Urkhardt, Odessa Ford, Vivian Marshall, Marjorie Lynch, Suzette Bennett, Beatrice Trueman and Edn Over. Baltimore Gossip.

Mule Flattened Goat's Horns But Peace Reigns Now WHITEVILLE, N.C. — Boots, the five-year-old billy dog that belongs to "Buddy" Howard can, can't enjoy butting people because Liz, the old mule, kicked him and flattened his horns down. It happened thus. Five years ago, when the stork brought Buddy, a neighbor presented the little fellow with a pair of Boots. But the mule, which had been in the family first, resented this new addition and took an almost human hatred towards his butting partner. Therefore, he watched his opportunity when the family was out front and then made for Boots. But the latter (being merely a dog) took up indistinct leg of Liz for pump handles, and waited to see them come down. Well, you know the rest. Only it: quick action of the master and a pelfock-saved Boots from a long sleep. That was five years ago. But now Liz has thought the master over and she and the goats are stunning partners. They usually make their surveys around the barnyard together. They even hide their food, including the morsels from Boots. They are bits of pubish. So now, the hatchet is buried between them. But all of Liz's kindness can't put Boots's horns in an upright position. WILLIAMSTON WILLIAMSTON, N.C.-Mrs. Mary Gray was the dinner guest of Mrs. Mittle Slade, Sunrise. The Rev.

Friday night, checking a second half match against the Pennsylvania punt. 35 to 24. One of the largest crowds of the season turned out to see the contest in anticipation of seeing a close cage duel, but the superiority displayed by the local collegians in passing, shooting, and general floor work put Bill Taylor's boys in eclipse, as was seen in the first game faced with Morgan leading by a 22 to 3 score. Lone Field Goal A lone field goal made by Jackson, Lincoln forward, in this stance gives an indication of the predicament in which the visitors found themselves at the outset. Lincoln team two victorious two victorious, nevertheless showed signs of nervousness as they took the court against the hasketers, who for five years have ruled the collegiate roost. Fight Started The spirit of the annual rivalry between the two schools was high and when Stretch Sydnor, Lincoln center fouled Jack Spencer during the second round, blows and roots of both schools rushed upon the court. For a while it appeared that a serious riot was in the making, but the floor was soon cleared. The players were hanshed from the game. Except in the second half when Referee Kie Wright and Umpire Reuben Jones allowed the game to get a little beyond their control, taking the game game fast and as clean as college games go. There were instances of shoving and holding of course, which the officials missed but as far as fragrant flowers were rules were concerned there were few. Bears Run Wild Morgan opened the fireworks, when after missing two golden opportunities at the basket from close range Jack Spencer finally located the hoop and shot it. Jones and Wheatley, the latter also contributing a foul goal to run the total to seven, while Lincoln remained scoreless. The goal, shot by Jackson, was the first point scored by the Lions, and it was Jackson too, who later contributed the only field goal scored by the Lincoln team in the first half. The Morganites were giving a special performance in the shots, work and few of their attempts at the basket from the floor were being missed. The Lions, however, rushed in the shots, but ever at the basket in a number of setups beneath the basket. Jones on Spree : The second half opened with Lanky Jones scoring three goals in rapid succession, giving the Bears 28 points to only three for the Lions. Play became rough and when the Lions found themselves being so completely outclassed, they stage a spurt, which coming after Sydnor and Spencer had been banished, and led by DeCosta, earned them 14 points in the last five USE ROYAL CABS "My" Barber Announces the Mr. E.

Babe Jones, Morgan $g$ guard, rushed to the protection of his team mate, just as Spencer returned Sydnor's blown ball, cooled the ball and the hall surged to the center of the floor and almost simultaneously the Morgan rabble rushed out.

WATSON Petersburg Quint Gets Revenge on Lynchburgers with 39-32 Victory. BISONS STAGE RALLY Trail at Half, but Spurt to 21-17 Win. PETERSBURG, Va. — Seminary's hopes for a return win over State were shattered when State, led by Pennington, State's high point man, began a startling drive in the second half to cop the game, 39-32, Wednesday. The game opened in a bad way for Seminary when State secured a nine-point lead in the first few minutes of play. Not to be outdone, Seminary opened her attack and made twelve straight points to bring the count to 39-32. State threw things and scoring proceeded on an equal basis until half time, when the board read 18-18. Spectacular Shots During the second half, things were fast. State gained a lead and was never headed by the Seminary aggregation, although Illinois' teammates made several spectacular shots. The game ended with State working her freeze successfully to keep Seminary from rallying again like she did in the first half. White were, French and Captain White were, the outstanding players, each making twelve points, Pennington, State's high point man, with sixteen points; was followed by Scott, who made eight points. State's next and last home game of the season will be with Virginia Union on March 7. Lost at Howard The Petersburg team, however, was checked in its march by the Howard University tossers on the latter's count, Thursday night, by a 21-17 count. The Howardites trailed 11-8 at half time in the paint, led by Hall, put them in the lead, never to be headed. Howard Slow at Start. At the start of the game, Howard seemed decidedly off form, missing several shots and fumbling the ball in passing, showing poorly before the ball came into play. Side line it was elk that if the second team could handle the varsity in such a way, what might be expected of the visitors' first line-up. Howard continued his reserves with his first team on the bench, while Burr sent in Beasley for Harris, who started a Bison rally in which the Bisons drew up within one point of the visitors' line-up. With the second team back, and immediately proceeded to put the Bisons ahead. Coach Martin sent in his regulars, who then scored the second team against the Howard varsity in the earlier stages of the game. State Gets One Goal Both Hall and Williams began shooting as if to atone for their ear- ter failures, maintaining a lead which the Bisons had taken for the first time during the evening. During the entire second half, they proposed the Bison defense only for one field goal, her other points being scored from the foul hie. HOWARD VA.

Curley frankly told Johnson during one of their confrontation that if Jack lost the fight to Willard that he could return to the United States unmolested. Tormented by the desire to see his mother and his friends, Jack consented. Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON INTERPRETATION of the Biblical quotation that "the last shall be first and the first shall be last." is seen in the action of the New York Boxing Commission's ruling that Larry Johnson donated a decision to Pete Lazzo a prize weeks ago, is the man who will fight Maxa Rosebloom at Madison Square Garden, March the same night that George, the Godfrey, puts up his dukes against Jack Grass. Practically all of the boys who did not suffer from myopia or astigmatism, were agreed that the bronzed batter deserved the nod by a wide margin, and now the awarding of the fist plum to Johnson was a welcome addition. A few interesting sidelights on this unusual ring personality are given by James W. Jennings, white, of the New York Evening Graphic, who in an interview with Johnson several weks ago found out that Johnson fought his first mill under the banner of O'Keefe after absorbing a meal which consisted of bean soup, several sliced tomatoes, a bundle of rye bread, a heaping portion of pork and sauerkraut, applesauce, topped off with several portions of cheese. "He complained of pains in his stomach after the bout and Whitie asked him what he ate. From then on Johnson ate broiled steak, a baked potato, fruit salad and the aftermnoo before each aflay and admits it makes a big difference in his fighting. "Larry, who saw Miae Rosebloom box twice, says the Harlem Hammer was manufactured for him. 'When I can hit 'em, and that windmill can be hit, there my worries eid about any bout. "And that big Carnera, I take him easy. Spot him about 100 pounds and don't tawant any money if he fries. My aspiration is the ring." Well I always like to see a people work and my question is to own a swell barber shop or a boat-blacking stand. "I'd like to win the light heavyweight title, and will if I get the chance."

Caroline S. We were arguing about organized baseball in the East for the coming season. It seems to me that Negro baseball in this section is dead. The East should be ashamed to let the mid-West team be so cheap, having large cities and trying to play sandlot ball. The names of eight cities that could make history for the East: New York, Baltimore, Newark, Philadelphia, Richmond, Norfolk and Harrisburg. Week day games should be played in the West, so why can't we do it here? It is done in the mid-West, so why can't we do it here? If the Black Sox had a good diamond on which to play they would have more people to come to the games. Every ball club that comes here complains about the playing field, and believe there are only about twenty real baseball fans in East Baltimore. Mr. Bill Gibson, Albert American.

NEWARK, N.J.-The 1928 ratings of the American Tennis Association show many startling changes in the positions of the leading tennis players of the A.T.A. The ratings were made by the committee headed by Miss Laura V. Junor, of Philadelphia, who has been a member of the Rating Committee of the A.T.A. for more than seven years. The committee was limited in its choice by the official rating scale and rules of the A.T.A.; however, it was allowed discretionary powers based on personal views of players and other factors. Many Fail to Report Many organizations failed to send in the official record of tournament play and, consequently, persons competing in such unreported tournaments could not be credited with the information several players had suffered from this situation; but the committee had no alternative. MEN'S SINGLES Edgar G. Brown of Chicago, winner of the 1929 Nationals, is rated first. This was Brown's fourth national title and there is little doubt that he is the premier strategist. Brown did a delicate job. New York Open losing to Perc Richard. How soon will he form in the Nationals was a question of his ability. Stocks. No. 2 James Stocks of California, second was the sensation of the 1929 Nationalals, and almost realized the prophecy made when it was said newcomers would be to a future national championship. Stocks was at No. 3 last year. Ted Thompson. Third Ted Thompson, formes national champion, is rated third. Led lost a heart-breaking match to Stocks in the semi-final of the Nationals, but won the Southeastern Section. He Hold No. 7 in 1928. Saitch Drops Back Ever Saitch has finally lost his position as No. 2, largely through bad breaks in the draw and when he was injured in the quarter. He is rated at No. 4. Downing, Smith Lose Dr. E. D. Downing, at No. 6, for the third successive year has lost one place in the ratings and ninth in the season but only succeeded in winning the Virginia Open in which few stars were entered. He was defeated by Stony Brook's Stephen Stokes in tournaments. Another player who has suffered his third successive loss of a place is Dr. Sylvester Smith, who appears in the tournament for his champion is beginning to lose his speed. Words Comes Up Solomon Worde, the New Jersey champion, returns to the First Ten after four years. "Hap" lost to Stocks in a thrilling match in the Nationals. He appeared at No 7. while last year he appeared 21. At 11:58 is one of the "freaks" of tennis. D: Percy Richardson of New York. Percy has a peculiarly soft game which is tautalizing to a hard driver and has risen from 29 in last year's values. Granger and Graham Lester B. Granger at 9 was rated at 6 in 1928. At 10 is Graham of Ohio. also one of the sensations of 1928, who has advanced from 19. Second Ten Heading the second ten is Conrade Linjico, the Filipino star who played in only two A.T.A. tournaments. As a new-comer he fell into a heavy quarter of the draw in the Nationals where he was defeated by Graham. Hudlin Loses 9 Places Richard Hudin had a bad season and has fallen from 3 to 12. Morris of Massachusetts, has earned his promotion from 26 to 13. Harvey Butler, a veteran who was last rated at 11 in 1927, holds in the Among the upsets in the Among the upsets the defeat of the hard-playing President of the A.T.A. Dr. J. L. McGriff, in the first round by the unknown Van Houten. This was a critical factor in causing Dr. M. McGriff to lose 15. "Fred" Johnson of New York has advanced from 30 to 16. R. F. Duncan at 17, and "Cooky" Hamilton at 19 make their first appearance in A.T.A. ratings. Louis Jones and Dr. C. F. Jones and Dr. C. F. Jones are who have been previously rated in the First or Second Ten. Third Ten Williams, Hill, Gordon and Willis of the Third Ten, are old-timers of previous national rating. Of the newcomers, C. W. Hunter is the most promising candidate for high honors. Eleven players rated in the Second or Third Ten in 1928 failed to make the grade in the current rating. First Ten The most noteworthy change in the entire rating list is the placing of Miss Ora Washington first in womens singles. As a national leader over the former national champion, Miss Ballard, in the Southeastern Sectional, Miss Washington is obviously entitled to first honors. She suffered one defeat the Pennsylvania Open. For early years Miss Washington was second. Mrs. Frances Gittens of New York. has moved up from 8 to 2. She was twice defeated by Miss Washington and then defeated by Miss Ballard. She suffered one unexpected defeat at the hands of Mrs. Leonard in the Jersey Open. Miss Ballard Drops At No. 3 is a three times national champion. Miss Lulu Ballard whose left hand delivery was several times solved by Miss Washington and Mrs. Elizabeth Ballard, who eliminated her hold in first place. Mrs. Emma Leonard has steadily advanced since 1926 and is rated next to Miss Ballard. Miss Isadora Chamberlain, the national title, is rated No. 5. She was No. 4 in 1928.

Gerald F. Norman, Jr. moves up from 6 to F. 3. Thomas Calloway at 4 was not rated in 1928, but held F. 3 position in 1927. Reginald Hawkins of Philadelphia heard from in the future. A sprained ankle handcapped his play in the Nationalists, but he made a good record in other tournaments. Frank Jackson dropped from 5 to 6, Jimmy Simmons, Kean and Hill are now receiving their first national ratings. MEN'S DOUBLES Eyre Saitch and Dr. Sylvester Smith again head the list of Men's Doubles. McGriff and Downing, Granger and Granger, Holmes and Thompson, and Brown and Davis are in rates this year. The new men's Stocks and Ford is the most worthy of the new leams. WOMEN'S DOUBLES For the fifth consecutive year, Misses L. Ballard and O. Washington are rated at No. 1 in Women's Doubles. A new team of Mrs. Gittens and Mrs. Smith came to the front in a startling manner, winning several tournaments and reaching the finals of the Nationalists. Mrs. Gittens has previously been rated with Miss Junior. Leonard and Mrs. Connick at 3 are both known from previous play with other partners. The same can be said of Mrs. Sadler and Miss Junior, while the sister team of Mrs. Hamlin and Mrs. McCauley makes its first appearance in national cir- MIXED DOUBLES In the Mixed Doubles the new team of Dr. Williams and Miss Gant appears at No. 1.

PRIMO'S EYE CLOSED Fans Believe Clark Quit in Carrera Fight PHILADELPHIA—Some of the riderside fans at the Clark-Carrera scrap here, and a number of the customers who occupied rows furiously, Clark could have scored a technical kayo over the Man Mountain had he only tried after that fifth race. The fact that Clark took the count while sitting, and cast an eye toward his corner as if watching for a signal, left a doubt in some minds regarding the genius of Clark, and they also feel that it was not necessary that Clark take the two counts in the fourth round. Clark is said to have forgotten himself while sitting on Carrera with a vengeance. He slowed up in the final round, however, when it would have been only a matter of seconds before he had been unable to continue because of his badly swollen eye. PHILADELPHIA, (Special) — Roy (Ace) Clark, local heavyweight, lasted five rounds against Primo Cararner, the Venetian man mountain, at the Arena, here Monday night, and was well into the sixth, when a left hook to the body dropped him for the count in a scheduled 10-round contest before a crowd of 10,000 fans, an indoor record for this city. It was Cararner's eighth knockout, but the Ambiling Alp machine took more punishment from the local boy than he has from any of the other boxers he has met since placing his huge feet on American soil. Had the bout been of only five rounds' duration it is almost certain that the judges would have awarded Clark the decision, for he carried the first three stabs by a wide margin, using a left hook that stung Cararner often. Dropped In Fourth In the fourth, however, Clark was dropped for counts of nine and eight, but when he came back in the fifth he was shot. He only hit his opponent, but the shouting spectators who had expected to see him in the land of not long ere this. He opened up an attack on Carrera's soon the optic was completely closed. Bout: Halted Dr. Abe Barron, physician, representing the State Athletic Commission temporarily halted the bout and suggested to Carnegie that the Giants' captain was emphatic in his refusal to quit and have a technical knockout scored against him. The milling was fast and furious in the sixth, Clark trying vainly to do more damage to the Venetian's optic. Exactly two minutes and 28 seconds after the round started, Carnegie dropped Clark with a left hook to the body at close range, and the Giants then took the middle sitting down. Clark weighed 234½ pounds. Calvin Reed, 129, lost a close decision to Jean Doireau, 134, France. in the opening bout of the show, a teammate from California, and youth from California, and weighing 178 pounds, kayoed Johnny Albertus, white, 173, in the third round of a scheduled six-round match.

Their game was aggressive, smooth, but altogether too slow against such teams. They were the only every play by Kimbali, the Armstrong team was given time to place for the defense, and it was impossible to break through the adamant defense. The team was coached to set. Both teams showed attractive sportsmanship throughout the contest. The game was by no means the only game the Kimbali visit. The primary object was to bring together representatives of two high schools, distantly situated from each other, for good fellowship and sportsmanship.

Basketball fans throughout the East eagerly await the outcome of the Rheims Post-Athenian basketball games in the next week here Friday, and the following Friday night at Athens. Should the Athenians come through with both victories they can claim the eastern crown, hitherto claimed by the New York Collegians. For the first time since defeat before Rheims Post last Friday night, before a team already conquered by the Peerless Club of Philadelphia three times this season, by the New Yorkers came tumbling from their lofty perch, though it marked only their fourth defeat at the hands of race clubs in three years, their defeat at Atlantic City being a costly May Claim Title The Greeks have already defeated Lincoln and the Peerless Club, and if they can decisively whip the Atlantic League or hold them to a close victory at Atlantic City, they will have a clean claim to the eastern title. Defeat or victory will largely rest, if the former Seminary star can hold down Sanders, prevent him from placing the tap, and hold him even in the scoring column, the Greeks and Wheatley should top Ward, Seay, or Aldrich, while Sheffey or Teenny Brown run rings around Todd, Jackson or Wayne, the shortest Ward are to rough up the opposing players, but under competent officiating should find it hard to remain in forty minutes of play. Philadelphia fans are particularly interested in the series, hoping for an even break. The Peerless Club is pulling for a seashore victory, as it keeps the near top, but if the inferior team they want another shot at the Greeks. 'VARSITY COEDS BEST IN VA.

Griffin is managed by Boo Hoo Hoff, who handles the largest stable of boxers in Philadelphia, and he boasts of a long string of victories, deciding to win at Harry Wills Midget Fox and Young Kid Norfolk.

Pat into it cleansing cream and a skin freshener in the same way and allow to dry on the skin. Next use an astringent cream, patting gently, and let stand twenty minutes, then wash with soap and again apply the skin freshness. Repeat this treatment every day while dieting. To keep the skin good condition, use 1 part water, 2 parts milk, and 3 parts water, make an excellent skin freshener. Never be rough with the skin; patting gently, but firmly is sufficient. Do not forget the corners of the mouth where eyes wrinkle, so easily form. Exercise regularly. This will make the muscles solid. Walk as much as you can.

In fact, it is a good plan to do up small linens as soon as possible after they are soiled—for stains that are allowed to remain in, are correspondingly difficult to remove. Often only one or two doilies or napkins of a set need washing. If they are "done up," at once—one does not miss the time—and the whole set is done. The following equipment is essential, a small wash boiler or good-sized kettle, or a good-sized aluminum pan for starching. Be sure that these are serpulently clean before using. Go soap flakes, Limit. Use a dampened or dotted added boar board with two ironing sheets. It is impossible—as well as absurd—to iron on a soiled ironing board because the skin should be slipped into a chinch cover.

Court Action. Suffering with a bullet punctured shoulder, and with the shadow of the hangman's noose hovering over his head, Lorenzo Price, A.E.F. war veteran, slumps in his small cell at the city jail, painfully awaiting sentence for first degree murder by Judge Robert M. Stanton, after the supreme bench of eleven judges in a decision Monday denied him a new tri.l. Price was convicted of the murder of an amateur photographer. Two other charges of having raped Dorothy Burgess, Heyman's companion, were not pressed. After four minutes' deliberation, a jury returned a verdict on February 12 of unqualified guilt against the one-legged ex-soldier. The arguments for a new trial were heard before Judges Samuel K. Dennis, presiding, O'Donean, Frank Bond, Owens, Dawkins, Stanton, Stein, Attorney John M. Lyell, who represented Price, stated to the AFRO after the supreme bench decision, that he did not think that an appeal would be successful. He least $500 is needed to carry the case to the court of appeals, and that he knew of no funds available for this purpose. Arguing before the supreme bench Saturday, Attorney Lyell stated his reasons: he newly discovered evidence, refusal of the court to receive evidence regarding Price's sanity, and the error of the court in questioning prospective jurors about their scruples against capital punishment. Mr. Lyell, "in getting information because of hesitancy on the part of colored people who knew, who feared to be dragged into the case to make a statement against a white woman. I have no apology to make for having to go on the stand and testify as he did. Two affidavits were introduced by Mr. Lyell as new evidence, but Judge Samuel K. Dennis ruled that they were only additional testimony in corroboration of Price's testimony. "My name is Daniel King. I am thirty years of age and live at 2330 Madison Avenue. In the city of Baltimore, the past year, I have been employed at the Lake Drive Garage on Madison Avenue. "I know Lorenzo Price, who is charged with murder and rape and the week of November, 1929, in which Thanksgiving occurred, a little colored boy entered the garage and told me that a woman was outside of the garage and wanted to see Price. I knew he was not there, it was and he said she was a white woman. "I didn't know Price at the time but I called up to the room where the man was standing and called Price. He came down and after I told him what was wanted he went out and me a woman who was standing on the sidewalk in front of a store next door to the garage. I stepped at the woman and saw that she was a white woman." "A few minutes later Price entered the garage and told me that it was the particular woman friend. He went out to the women's room and went out to the street where he again met this woman and walked away with her. On at least two more occasions he had talked to her in the garage until Price went out and met her. Both of these times I went out on the sidewalk to have a look at her and on one occasion I spoke to her just before Price came out. This time Price said that she was a white woman, as I rather doubted Price when he had told me that she was a white woman. "It appeared to me that there was some sort of breaking out on the floor of the garage it was mottled with red blotches. It seemed to me that the woman's face showed that she had been leading a dissipated life or was not as old as she looked. I did not see this woman on other occasions, although Price told me that he met her often. When I first met Price he was taking the place of another driver who was sick for a couple weeks, or other times he substituted for him, who were off duty for various reasons." (Signed) DANIEL KING (Signed) STATEMENT of A. L. Cox February 21 "My name is Abraham Lincoln Cox. I am seventy-nine years of age and meet the Hill Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland. "I have known Lorenzo Price, of 5619 Gold Street, and who is charged with murder and rape, for at least seven years. During that time I he spent considerable time with him. "He mentioned to me several times that he had a white woman for a friend and that he could do what he wanted with her. By that I mean that he led me to believe that he was intelligent. "Late one afternoon early in winter, I met him on the street, Pennsylvania Avenue, and he told me that he could get some money from his white Ive. We started to walk and he stopped at Hill Avenue and North Avenue, where he had his shoes shined. We then walked down North Avenue to Park Avenue, where he told me to stand. He crossed over to the south side of North Avenue where he disappear between two buildings that reached out to the sidewalk. "I walk aloft over to where he had gone in and just as I reached the spot he stepped down from the steps and turned around to talk to a woman who was sitting on the steps, was undoubtedly a white woman, rather short and weighing between 130 and 140 pounds. "When I stepped up, she asked Price if I was a friend of his and he said not to let him spend all the money she had given him for drink, but to see that he bought socks or a shirt with it. "Tonight I have taken Mr. John R. Brown and Mr. Frank Gillard to this white woman. One reason that I am sure of the piece is that, I remembered it was near an ice cream place and that the house is behind an alley, down which I used to take a horse when I worked in the farm, was used by Kiske, the ice cream man. "I am positive in the statement I am making and am making it without any promise of reward or threat by an person. (Signet) ABRAHAM COX (this mark). O'Connor's Argument State's Attorney Herbert R. O'Connor in his argument stated that the jury had all the facts and considered that: "If the jury felt," he said, "that Price was insane they were submitted a form of verdict by which they express the opinion that Lyle's evidence is not that Price was insane at any time. His contention is that Price had a disturbed mental condition, and that the veracity he produced was not degree. This was a murder committed in the perpetration of rape, and this is punishable by death." BRIDGE By R. W. TALIAFERRO R. B. W. TALIAFERKO Several wacks back Mrs. Mrs. niced William Wallace about the auction Bridge laws covering Progressive Bridge, and in my reply I stated that at present there were no such laws. Recently it was brought to my attention that January, 2014, for progressive "law" had been added by the American Whist League. In correction of the foregoing statement on my part, I publish these laws for the benefit of all clubs and organizations which hold progressive contests. The laws for progressive only and are subsidiary to the "Laws of Auction Bridge," and with the exception of the modifications as given the "Laws of Auction Bridge" govern "Progressive Auction Bridge." Laws for Progressive Auction Bridge 1. The game is played by two or more tables of four players each. The tables are numbered from one to four and the table with the largest number is the bottom table. It is customary to use two packs of cards at each table. 2. To the beginning of play, individual tally cards are prepared, one for each player; each card bearing a table number and designating a position at the table. At the table, each player draws his tally card and takes his place at the table, in the position called for by his card. Each table is provided with the results of the various deals. 3. The four players at each table draw for first deal and choice of cards. The player who draws highest is the first dealer and may select 4. Should a deal be passed out (i.e., should all four players pass at their first opportunity to declare) the same dealer redeals with the same park after the first round on his left and cut by the player on his right. Should a second or subsequent deal be passed out before the next progression, the deal passes to the left and both sides score zero on the score card for that deal. 4. A round consists of four deals, one by each player; or five deals, two by one player (the first unplayed—as stated in above paragraph), and one by each of the other three, in case of a realeal as in Law 4. The proper entries are made on the inside of the players' progress after each round. 6. The side making a game (30 points or more for tricks) in one hand scores a bonus of 125 in the honor score. Regardless of trick—points actually won in one hand; the other contract undoubled, doubled or redoubled, a maximum of 400 points for tricks, undertricks, bonus and penalties is all that a side may score in one hand, except that honors are held and bonuses for shear are held for 600 400 limitation. At the end of the round, the total scores for both sides for that round are added (including trick-score and honor-score), each player then enters the score of his side on the other hand, and the score of the other side under "Opponents Score." Should the total score of both sides be the same, all four players enter a zero in both columns of their tallies. In case of a tie, the progression is determined by drawing cards; the two drawing highest and next to highest progressing. 7. The two players at each table who win a round and are entitled to points on their respective tailies. In case of a tie in total scores of the round, the four players enter a bonus or 50 points in their respective tailies. TALKERO TALKERO Teacher of Bridge 518 Presman Street. AFRO RADIO HELPS During an electrical storm, there is a continuous stream of charged rain drops and conducting ions between the clouds and the earth. As an outside antenna is in the path of the storm, the lightning arrester is advisable in order to protect the fine windings of the receiver from any possible injury. A lightning arrester is the safety gate of the antenna circuit and is so designed that whenever a charge of sufficient voltage collects upon the antenna, it will discharge itself across the electrodes of the arrester and pass harmlessly to the ground. In general, lightning arresters may be divide into three groups: the air gap, the non-air gap and the vacuum gap. The air gap and the vacuum gap are electrodes separated by a distance so regulated that whenever a charge of approximately 500 volts collects upon the antenna, the charge will break down the resistance of the air gap and will pass harmlessly to the ground. The non-air gap consists of a piece of carborundum held between two pieces of high resistance carbon. In the vacuum type, two fine wires are sealed in a glass tube and are so separated that the gap will be broken down by a potential of 500 volts.

NEBRASKA WILLIAMS Nebraska Williams, who in 1927 passed through Baltimore on what he said was a 5,000-mile hike to claim a scholarship at the University of Michigan, again reached the Monumental City this week plus a wife and a sister. The little poodle dog which came along with the hiker in 1927 has been replaced by "Big Boy," a 61-pound bull dog. On this trip the liker claims that he began his present globe jaunt in London in 1926, and has to date covered about 35,000 miles. The mileage clock which Williams wore around his neck when in Baltimore in 1927 is absent, but he declares that he is keeping a road record. Of the 35,000 miles which Williams claims he has covered since 1926, 19,320, he says were biked. S50.000 Prize On his present trip Williams claims that he and his companions are completing the 25,000 mile walk to win a prize of $50,000 from the Shrivers Walking Club of London, England. They came to Baltimore from Washington. When here in Baltimore in 1927 Williams declared that the Shuveport Times and the Shreveport Sun had donated the $1,000 scholarship for which he was making the laurel, the group owned, traveled in the state of the Union, through Canada, Europe, Africa, South America, Mexico and Cuba. While the hikers exhibited numerous letters from famous cities in Europe, including one recently written by Congressman Oscar DePriest, they failed to show AFRO-AMERICAN reporters any data or letters substantiating their that they had hiked in Europe,ica, other foreign countries mentioned above. In answer to the question as to where and how his around-the-world trip started and where it would end, declared that he started in itinerary. On this trip Mr. and Mrs. Williams say that they met, with their toughest enemies, in the state of Louisiana. He states the state of Louisiana. He states that southern white men did not want his sister, who is very light, to enter in companies. He states that wife. They were arrested and forced to work on a prison farm for a month. Mrs. Williams stated that she made a key out of a spoon that she covered over darkness the party escaped. Joseph A.

PASTORS CALLED NOT TRAINED IN DIXIE Rural Negro Churches Copied Shouts from the Whites. Young People Opposed to Emotionalism. BY THELMA LOUISE TAYLOR CLEVELAND, O. — Insufficient moral rigidity and the lack of adequate religious training of Negro ministers were claimed as the chief hindrances of the Negro church of the rural South, by Newbell Puckett, white. Puckett, who is at present collecting data for the publication of a book on the Negro church in the rural South, said there was great need to preserve the record of that institution. He, at the same time, regretted that so many of the white Southernners had no opportunity, would not, to make contacts of the opportunity of making contacts with the better churches in the South. Appearance of Devil Changes The religion in the rural South, he continued, is very free; less codified and less conventionalized than that of the whites. It is characterized by unusual emotional reactions, an interest in sacred personages as God and the Devil. The physical appearance of Jesus seems never to change, whereas the appearance of the Devil is variable—nighly a black cut or a god is willing. There is a great belief, so said Mr. Puckett, in the Wheel of Damnation a type of Ferris wheel which revolves close to the ground, thus punishing the sinners seated therein. Another characteristic of the rural religion, claimed Mr. Puckett, was the presence of the dancers, such as the Rocking and jugging. Faces Worshipped Together Much of the present tural church of the Negroes has a very definite social background. Prior to the revolution and the time of the social upheaval there was a race that the races than at the present time. Frequently Negro ministers were in charge of white congregations. Then the tendency was for the aristocracy to lay hold of poor whites and to oppose it. However, as the poor whites accumulated property they became haughty and segregation arose. A Negro church in Silver Creek, SC, C.I.C. was a center of segregation. The Roman Catholic separation did not come until very late, due to the few numbers. The separation of the churches gave the Negro advantage — if interest in the feeling of subsistence; for, most of the sermons to mixed congregations dealt with the duties of a good slave to his master. Then, too, the Negro had the opportunity to develop in his own Imitated Whites The actions of the Negroes in their church worship seems to have come from the rural whites. As early, as 1800 in Kofi, the Negroes were one hundred persons were rendered unconscious due to emotionalism. In Kentucky the "jerk's" was the name given the religious movement peculiar to camp life. Youth Versus Age At present there is confusion with In the rural Negro church due to the divergent interest of the congregations. Each congregation, said Puckett, is composed of two generations—the younger and the older. The younger generation are rapidly becoming well educated and do not desire the emotionalism which their elders demand. Frequent splits in the church result. The matter of finances seems to be no bar in the setting up of a new church and difficulty is often caused by the ignoring of this important item.

They generally "receive care" from the Negro ministers about five per cent of the Negro ministers in the rural South have a high school education, and, of the fifty-two seminaries in the South, only one requires a college degree for entrance. The Negro of the South pays little attention to the moral character of his minister until the church is brought into disrepute. It should be remembered that the church has contributed to the Negro his first lesson in organization as well as in leadership. The rural church of the South offers a great opportunity for the Negro, with his own experience, a successful future if he will be earnest. PETITION BISHOP H. B. PARKS TO SUSPEND CAREY CHICAGO. — A petition signed by 287 members of the A.M.E. Church, in Chicago, asks for the ousting of Bishop A. J. Carey, of the Fourth Episcopal A.M.E. District. The petition signed by both men and women who give their names and addresses is directed to Bishop S. Blanton Parks, senior bishop of the A.M.E. Church, at Oakland California. The petition reads in part as follows: "We wish to enter the following protest and petition with respect to the unsatisfactory condition existing here regarding the indictment of Bishop A. J. Carey for the alleged accrual of bribes in his office at COPC Civil Service Commissioner. This matter has brought our church in Chicago and the nation into shameful morality, and is rapidly destroying its influence in this section." "Chicago, as a municipality, is in the hands of officials whose policy is wide open and particularly agreeable to people of the underworld; it has had a minister scarcely equalled in the history of any city; and according to reports the peddling of civil service positions has been done in a wholesale manner." The indictment of Bishop Carey is declared to be not the result of a grievance of the individual, but of the grievances of many people and should political, financial, or other undue influence result in a favorable verdict, it would not have the effect of changing the minds of the people, nor vindication of the church members. Church Paralyzed "The legal machinery of the church is paralyzed because it is made up of a group of ministers who are, for the most part, appointees of Bishop Carey, and who, therefore, lack the courage to take action. This being the case, the supposedly successful in the General Church to take some steps to relieve us of Bishop Carey, who has apparently lost his influence in the Fourth Episcopal District, and whom we do not consider a fit person to direct the affairs of our churches, nor appoint to our pulpits, who are to be the principal leaders." Prominent persons among the supers are Mrs. A. W. Curtis. Catholic Church Jim-Crow Alleged Catholic Church Jim-Crow Alleged ELICITCITY CITY.

Michigan Radiator MISSIONARY out that the work of the Women's Mite Missionary Society and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society has become so similar in objective, and that the advancement of the church is enhanced by a merger, the Rev. C. H. Wesley urged the consolidation of these two bodies at the joint meeting, Monday. The Women's Mite Missionary Society, was founded in 1874 while Women's Foreign Missionary Society was organized in 1896. "There are few good reasons." said Dr. Wesley, "why the separate existence of these two groups should continue. A merger would be seen towards the consolidation of sectionalism in the church, and moreover, it would be in line with the spirit of our big business concerns and would bring about savings in operation." D. C. Churches Have Problem. In his response to the address of welcome delivered by the Rev. R. A. Greene, the Rev. J. R. Barnum, clarified that Washington churches have bigger problems than the Baltic. Taking a gentle rap at the Rev. Mr. Greene, the Rev. Barrum declared that "the greatest things are not always being done in Washington. In Washington our problems are not similar to your problems over here. You have the Sunday blue laws in Baltimore to help you, but you don't have the people there have less time to think of God or of church. We have the Sunday moving pictures, theatres and other forms of amusement." The People at West Conference. Discussing the suggestion of a merger of the two women's organizations Mrs. A. L. Gaines declared that there will be women sent to the next general conference and that when that hammens they will get somewhere with the plan, the matter is in the hands of men, and they cannot get together on the matter. When the women step in, there will be something accomplished." for Missions More than $73,000 has been spent for missions by the Mile Missionary Societies, according to the Mile Handy office of that body. She declared that efforts had been made to bring the two bodies together and there were reasons for favoring it, she said and added, "I must not tell things of school."

That the striking characteristic of religion in our time is that the idea of religion as a source of power great in the Bible as a literal and authentic authority is gone forever. 2. That the rapid movement of industry and its accompanying destructive effects, calls for mighty action, and knowledge into paths which will benefit the individual human life. 3. That this power which all men desire is the very power to which religion has power. It is the truth of it only through science, scientific experiment. Mt. Olivet Baptist The Mt.

Jackson, pastor of the Fulton Baptist Church. The Late Bishop Grant By J. BARKSDALE Abram Grant was one of God's noblemen, about whom a grandeur of men shone, like a nimbus of peace. He was a great evangelical preacher, under the guidance of the spiritual attitudes delighted to sit entrusted, as he unified the riches of the life to come. It was his delight to see his ministers and the people have something, and would help them to be properly faced with their difficulty face with every one, and would not do a wrong in his own interest. However, his attachment to those who had his deeper confidence and personal friendship was such, that he might be induced to commit a wrong. No grandeur man was ever elected a bishop in any church.

James, of Roanoke, president of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, and the Virginia Seminary, Virginia Baptist Church are being asked to take weekly contributions for Virginia Seminary to save that institution. Church leaders are requested to help the offering of items close of the Sunday service by persons appointed by the pastor of proper officials of the church as the people pass. Dr. James suggests that the parties appointed stand at the door with collection plates or baskets to receive a free-will offering from such persons who are willing and interested in such gifts. Such a plan, he said, places the school upon its merit and does not inflict upon the church additional burden but gives the friends of Christ a gift to give voluntarily what they feel they are able and willing to give. First Baptist Church, of Roanoke under Dr. James, has become a weekday church in the Baptist Ministers Conference of Roanoke has endorsed the plan.

STORES LEADS TO RUIN Color Line Against Negro Means Drop in Receipts. FIGURES CITED Baltimore Stores are Below Other Cities. The anti-Negro policy of Baltimore department stores has proved ruinous, according to Dr. Jacob H. Hollander, white, of Johns Hopkins University, who made a study last week of the retail situation in Baltimore for the Evening News. Dr. Hollander found that the four cities of the United States nearest in population in 1928 to Baltimore $830,400, are Cleveland (1,010,300), St. Louis $848,00, Boston (779,620), and Pittsburgh $673,300. The total volume of sales of the four largest department stores in 1928 in each of these cities was: Boston, $890,000. Pittsburgh, $840,000. Cleveland, $779,620. St. Louis, $685,000. Baltimore, $275,750. Largest Store The sales of the largest single department store in each of the five cities was as follows: Boston, $40,000,000. Cleveland, $80,000,000. Philadelphia, $26,000,000. St. Louis, $18,000,000. Baltimore, $9,500,000. A study of the income tax returns of Baltimore and other cities of the volume of the retail trade in those cities, of the real estate improvements and of other consumer items in these several cities, shows that Baltimore compares favorably with the other cities, said Dr. Hollander. "In informal conversation with business men, I have often been assured that the reason why retail sales are so high is that smaller than those of other cities is our large colored population. "The census of 1920 returned the population of Baltimore as 733,266, of whom 108,322, or not quite 15 per cent, were Negroes. It is not likely that in the increase of our numbers since the 1920 census has under- Colored No: Haudicap "It is by no means certain that, with the marked advance in economic condition of the colored people of Baltimore in the last fifteen years, this element of the city's populace has been greatly increased in relative burning power as is contended." "Other cities have their Slovaks, their Bohunks, their Mexicans. Nor are all of the cities compared without a large colored element. St. Louis, for example, had 69,854 Negroes, or 9 per cent." "More instructive in this respect is a comparison between Washington and Baltimore. In 1928 the four largest department stores of Washington did a total business of 34 millions, and the single one contributed $150,000. Washington Leads Baltimore "But the Negro population of Washington is absolutely larger than that of Baltimore—99,600 in Baltimore—108,300 in Ballimore—and the Washington proportion of Negroes to total population is 25 per cent, as compared with 15 per cent for Ballimore. "In other words, with a population of more than 69 and a Negro proportion more than 69 per cent greater, the four big stores of Washington did nearly 20 per cent more business than those of Ballimore, and the largest unit more than 40 per cent more than that of Ballimore. "If I were a department store executive instead of a more literary fellow, I should study the foregoing face, and then start something." Anti-Negro Policy The policy of Ballimore department stores as been in recent years, not only to withdraw accounts of colored patrons but to refuse any sales to Negro customers. The Negro policy was began by Owllan Company, and eventually joined in by Hutzer Brothers, Bonwil and Lennon, and Hochschild, Kohn and Co. Bernheimer Department Store, for years known as one of the cheapest in the city, built itself up on collateral loans and is now sold to the May Company which immediately inaugurated the policy of discouraging colored buyers. Followed Suit Stewart and Company followed suit. Its general manager told the AFRO-AMERICAN that white women had protested against meeting colored women at the counters. The policy has been that thousands of colored people have not set foot in any of the downtown department stores for over a year. The loss of Christmas revenue proved tremendous. Colored Baltimoreans are not only purchasing from the smaller stores, but are doing a mail order business, and in many cases wait until they can go to Washington, Philadelphia or New York before going their shopping. 13 Pass Probation Tests at Provident Nurses Given Cups After Compleat-Six Months' Preliminary Training fieficials of the Provident Hospital.

Telephone Plaza 3471 Southern Railway BY ROY WILKINS KANSAS CITY, (ANP) The formal opening of Kansas City's new $350,000 city hospital for Negroes was held last Sunday, March 2, with an open house during the afternoon and evening. The building of eight stories, including roof sun porches, is admitted to the city hospital plant in the entire country to Negroes and certainly the finest public institution ever provided by a municipality for its Negro city. Lates Design and Equipment No pains have been spared by the city to make the hospital the latest word in institutions of its kind, regardless of color. More than $13,000 worth of x-ray equipment has been installed comprising the most modern machines for this work. In this department is one piece of equipment not duplicated in any public or private facility. Four rooms are in the x-ray room. Eleven thousand dollars has been spent in equipping a laboratory, which includes among other things, a small electric refrigeration unit especially built for this work. There are two operating rooms: one for minor and one for major operations. White the doors and walk, specially designed light convolution, monel-metal tables, chroma nickel finishing set the form for the two six-position operating tables, said to be the finest manufactured in America. The operating suite takes in the whole of one wing with an anesthetizing room, main sterilizing room, two dressing rooms, a surgeon's washroom, nurse's utility room, and a hospital locker and shower-room. Everything Electrical Practically everything in the hospital runs by electricity. The basement houses a model training kitchen, gleaming with new equipment. The main kitchen has an electric mixer, meat and bread slicer, potato peeler and dishwasher. A giant electric refrigerator keeps meats, produce and vegetables at different temperatures. Throughout the entire building is a loudspeaker system controlled from the telephone switchboard in the basement. You can play messages to each floor by speaking into a small microphone. An electric light signal system for summoning nurses is installed at each bedside. Electrically heated incubators and a table for babies as well as an electric thermostatic control of baby bath water are some of the gadgets in this modern plant. Two auto-electric elevators serve the building. Bed Capacity 294 The bed capacity of the hospital is 294. Outpatient service is handled by eight examining rooms including a suite of three rooms for tuberculosis alone. Outpatient equipment costing $600 four metric gas machines, each administering four gases and other, a McKenna fracture table for setting fractures and five special braced beds give, some idea of the money which has been spent to make the hospital dormitories for internes, lecture rooms for nurses and living quarters for the superintendent are included in the new structure. Before the hospital was started city officials made a tour of the country studying the latest in public health. Credit to Democrats The new hospital is just another star in the crown of the Democrat party in this city and county. It is a new community of public buildings in America erected for the exclusive use of Nero citizens. A home and farm for under-privileged girls costing $30,000; a farm and infirm Negroes, a home and farm for $75,000; a $75,000 tubular cottage and now the new city hospital have all been erected by the Democrats. None of them is a second hand building, but all are new construction and furnishings with new materials and equipment. Entire Staff Colored The entire staff of the new hospital is colored. The superintendent is Dr. Howard A. S. Smith, native Baltimore, and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Smith is the superintendent. Prominent Howard graduates the staff are: Dr. Whit H. Bruce, surgeon. Dr. E. H. Lee, surgeon. Dr. E. J. Marshall, urologist: Dr. E. Marshall, epidemiologist: Dr. Luke E. Marshall, Dr. Luke E.
