BROKE PROMISES President also Disregarded G.O.P. Plank. Mingled with the sorrow that every American citizen must feel in mourning the death of the late ex-President and Chief Justice, Howard W. Taft, is a feeling that a policy inaugurated by him has been responsible for the elimination of the Negro in the federal patronage program of the Republican party. The late President was elected to the presidency of the United States in 1916, been virtually designated as standard bearer by the then retiring and late President Theodore Roosevelt. Because of his close association with Roosevelt, Negro leaders throughout the country welcomed his advent into the White House and prophesied freely a continuation of the vigorous Roosevelt policies. Fears Arise Within four months after he had piled up a large Republican majority, having obtained the bulk of the Negro vote throughout the country, he made his memorable inaugural address statement in which he laid down the proposition to the president to office must have the commendation of the fellow citizens of their community. Later he followed this statement with the point blank declaration that "I shall not appoint Negroes in the office of such appointments do not meet the approval of the Southern whites." Bishop Hurst. Called This statement fell like a bombshell into the camp of faithful Nebraska patriots John Hurst, then financial secretary of the A.M.E. Church, and the late Bishop John Wesley Gaines called on President Taft for an expedition. In this interview the President told them not to be disturbed and that he meant to stand by his prelection promise to give the Negro Platform Promises The 1908 Republican platform had set forth the following policy as to the Negro: The Republican party has been for more than 50 years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship, and it declared that proclaimed his civil and political rights, and it believes today that noteworthy progress in the civil and political has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. "We declare once more, and without reservation, our commitment to the spirit of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the Negro, and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair to the Negro, and the supreme laws of the land." Gaye Assurance In February before his inauguration, siting on the same platform with the late George Hall, New York, the late Chief Justice reassured his hearers, declaring that he would do everything within his power to carry out the Dept. without the Negro without reference to color. Despite his declaration made to appease the white leaders in the South, the governor expressed that President Taft would steer the G.O.P. bark back into the traditional channels, and this hope was heightened with his first appointment to Liberia. Scott as commissioner to Liberia. Southern Appointment By the middle of his term, however, the tenor of the press showed that faith was being lost, and when in 1810 he turned down the appointment of A. B. Kennedy as collector of customs at customs in Boston, and of their hopes and realized that the Taft policy in Dixie followed the wishes of Southern whites. During his administration, however, he appointed the late J. C. Napier as Register of the Treasury to succeed the now Bishop of Boston, and William of Boston, of Boston, as S. Attorney General.

Alexandra Health Talk No.3 X-RAY The X-ray is a photograph (no pain or discomfort) which discloses the tissues and conditions not visible to the eye, and it is not practiced without it. The X-ray is essential in the modern dental office. One Out of Four The proper thing and duty every one owes himself is to have the whole mouth X-rayed. This requires and authorities advise us that one out of every four mouths which are apparently perfect prove by X-ray to be imperfect. Very often trouble arises when finding suspected trouble before that trouble finds you. Your Duty why wait for rheumatism, neuralgia, heart disease, headaches, insanity, and many other disorders before you have your mouth X-rayed. Since teeth can cause a large percentage of the above, do not wait until it hurts—it may then be too late. For your health's sake, have your mouth X-ray made and render this service at the lowest fees in Baltimore. MRS. EMMETT J.

The Forbes commission now in Haiti, reported to President Hoover plans for bringing peace to the island, agreed upon both by the Haitian patriots who wish independence and by Borno, who desires to remain in office. The plan in brief which has also been approved by President Hoover, is: Office of the American high commissioner to Haiti (General Russell) will be abolished and the commissioner will be replaced by a regularly appointed diplomatic minister. A new United States-Haitian treaty will be negotiated. A "neutral" president, acceptable to both sides, will be elected provisionally by the Council of State at Haiti and appointed President Luis Borno's term in May. An early popular election of a legislature will be held, after which the legislature will choose a president for a term. No sooner had the plan been agreed upon and the commissioners had departed from the Haitian capital to tour the island than President Boro nobilis his mines. Commissioners hastening back, learned that President Boro will not give up his $25,000 a year pension, and that the president of Hatti, he is quoted as saying, "A new president will be elected by my Council of State April 14, and no other council or president is elected by population since 1932." By the council at present consists of men picked by Boro, their election of a president would simply be elected by Boro upon a candidate selected by Borno Must Go Patriots, however, have determined that Borno and all his supporters must go. The U.S. commission seems to agree with the proposition and will support Borno. The U.S. support from Borno unless he yields. Borno could not live 24 hours in his capital if U.S. marines were withdrawn. Belief is expressed that Borno's belief that a means to secure certain concessions in money or positions for his friends before the provisional government takes charge. Church For Patriots The Catholic Church of Haiti, with a membership of half the island, is with the patriots. Archbishop Conan declared that the clergy will rejoice and chant a tribute of thanksgiving when the Americans are gone and the people are free. Masons and Women The stand of the church is backed up also by organizations of women and fraternal orders. The president of the Patriotic Women's Association, told the U.S. commissioners, Haitian women preferred death to Borneo and the U.S. occupation. Emanuel Bampy, grand master of Haitian women, representing 200,000 Masons, declared that intelligent Haitians want freedom at the earliest possible date.

Walls of Jericho Throw New Light on Bible Verse GRASTY ADMITS MELVALE IS DEPLORABLE Secretary of City Supervisors Says Funds are Insufficient. WASHES HISHANDS Janney Says State Has No Responsibility. Secretary Nathaniel Grasty, white, of the board of City Supervisors, admitted that deplorable conditions exist at Mélvale, while Stuart S. Janney, white, chairman of the State Department of Welfare, washed his hands in a declaration that the state had no control over the place, in interviews with AFRO reporters this week. Recent criticisms of the place by Judge J. Wesley and Mrs. Marie Bumfield had not reached Mr Janney until called to his attention by articles in the AFRO-AMERICAN he said. Is Deplorable "I am conversant," said Mr. Graszy, "with the conditions at Melvale regarding which Judge Waxter and Mauzershmidt have spoken. Conditions at the institution are deplorable." "Baltimore city has no other alternative but to send colored girls to the House of the Good Shepherd, which is overtaxed, to Melvale or to turn them loose on the streets." "In answer to your question as to what can be done about the conditions existing there, will be required by the Board of Estimates. The city chartter cannot give any more to the institution than is appropriated by the Board of Estimates. $200 Per Capita "The supervisors contract with all reformary institutions at the rate of $200 per capita per child, with the exception of the Maryland Training School for Girls and the Maryland Training School for Boys. There are two schools, each receives $180 per child. Mellvale, like other institutions, receives $200 per child. "The charity supervisors are in sympathy with the welfare of the girls at Mellvale. We believe that the management does not pay the money at its disposal. I feel that if the board of management at Mellvale is unable to get along on the money it has, some plan should be worked out by which the appropriations would be more liberal. We do not enough interest in an institution like Mellvale to go into their pockets. Those girls out there have souls, and should have a future before them." "Washes Hands" In his statement, money practically washed his hands of the conditions there. Said he. "The state has nothing at all to do with the management or the handling of the situation of the institution are as Judge Waxter and Mrs. Bauernschmidt say, I certainly wish it was under the state. We would clean up the place, you and I would fine him, and if he says Melvale is deplorable, it must be the truth. "This is the first time that the matter has been brought to my attention, you and I have something about the state has no jurisdiction over the institution." Dr. Emil Novak Dr. Emil Novak, a member of the city board, declared that nothing had been done to improve conditions at Melvale. The matter will come up at a board meeting this month, he said, at which time it will be given proper consideration. Dr. Wm. H. Wright, present member of the grand jury, declared this week that conditions at both Melvale and Cheltenham will be given serious attention. A study is being made by him and recommendations for some definite action will assuredly be made, he said. The Urban League committee appointed last week is studying the whole situation and will work on a plan for a practical solution of the problem, it is said. It will also consider as its chief work this year, consideration of welfare institutions and their administration in city and state. RED BANKS. N.J.-Charging that their spokesman.

Y.—Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, violently condemned for a "diabolical attack" upon his own people, answered his critics from his pulpit Sunday morning. He said: "wiring the last few days your pastor has been severely criticised Richard Webster, a special writer of the Brooklyn Daily Times, white, called by appointment, at the office of the church for an interview. We had a free and easy conversation on the local racial situation. I was surprised to find in last Sunday's paper a rumour that a call in which he quoted me freely. It is a full and comprehensive article intended to be of service to our people. "Unfriendly critics within race, however, seized upon a single sentence, took it out of its setting, distorted and exploited it. Every one who has read it will literature knows that you can take any piece of writing, distort a single sentence and put on it a contrary meaning. By this means you can prove from the Bible there is no God. On the basis of this unfair procedure, several charges are insinuated against me. No Enemy "One is that he is enemy of my race. In reply to this charge I point to a record of public service of 35 years, and defy any man, to place his finger upon one act or utterance that is disloyal to my people. On the contrary, I have spoken in every State of the Union and beyond the seas as a champion of the rights of my people. Working People "Another is that I am against the working people.

My father was a carpenter and my mother a cook. Scarcely a day passes that we do not seek jobs in our church office for working people. Christ himself was a working man and I like to touch the hand of man that has corns on it like those of Christ. Newcomers "Another false charge is that I am against the newcomers of our race in our community. In reply to this would say that I am one myself, and I could hardly be against myself. On the other hand, I have the highest regard for those who are coming into our midst. There are no better members of our church than some of these. Note how many of them have been promoted to officia, position in our church. "As a matter of fact some of you have almost been made jealous by my high praise of our West Indian contingent. And we are glarl to welcome to church today. But the hero seated over forty people alive recently in a great fire in Brooklyn. He is a newcomer from New England. "Another false charge is that I have held up my people to scorn as a criminal race. In reply I would say that I have held, on hundreds of platforms in America, that the colored race has the cleanest second of any race in the Jewish race gave its Judas Iscariot, the Rozen race its Nero, the Saxon race its Benedict Arnold, but show me please one great black criminal in history.

BOSTON'S MAYOR PAYS TRIBUTE TO CRISPUS ATTUCKS Chief Executive Places Wreath on Monument on Common. U.S. SCORED Curley Deprecates Jim Crow of War Mothers. (Carroll News Agency) BOSTON, Mass. — Mayor James M. Curley, in an address delivered on the Boston Commons, at exercises held in commemoration of the anniversary of the Boston massacre, March 5, 1770, and the death of Crispus Attucks, severely criticized those responsible for the plan to send colored Gold Star Mothers to France this year on a ship by themselves rather than on the ships bearing other mothers. In his address at the monument of Mayor Curley. "It is a pleasure in behalf of the city to lay a wreath here symbolic of the love and devotion of men of a race who helped make possible, by a baptism of blood, organized revolt and laid the foundation which gave the world in a later day what we now know as the United States of America. "It is fitting that city and state should observe the occasion with the placing the emblems of love, affection and esteem for the early patronage. "A singular anomaly. Our war is the demand of individuals in a free state that the mothers of men freed through the providence of God, were destined to be of darker color than their fellows, should not be permitted to sail in the same boats with Gold Star mothers of light color. Absolute Equality Absolutely, credibility should be the recognized order and rule in the life of America. I wish for America a broader, more liberal and humane spirit and temper than has been displayed in recent years." Characterizing Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard, and Prof. David S. Muzzy as "quick-lunch historians who have tried to beshrimp the names of those whom we honor as heroes," was made by William O'Brien, head of the telephone division of the public service commis- The Crooks He further said that, "despite their hellishness in characterizing Washington as a man disgruntled because of his failure to acquire preference from the British government and John Hancock as a man of great importance, he remembered long after such historians are mourning in the dust and are forgotten." A wreath was placed at the scene of the massacre by Mrs. Martha C. Kenswick. During the final exercises, at the Altar monument, in addition to the state and city wreaths, a wreath was placed by Mrs. Ethel Gibson Russell. Bagnall in Virginia Robert W.

Monday, which is usually rather dull, jumped to the front last week with two delightful affairs—a banquet and a dance. In conjunction with an annually established precedent, the Howard University Alumni held forth with their Charter Day banquet at St. Luke's Dining Room last Monday night. Dr. Emmet J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, and Dr. Walter Gray Crump, the philanthropic promoter of several racial medical interests, were the guest speakers of the event. Congenial Twenty. The Congenital Twenty, composed of Lucille Burke, president; Emeline Price Brown, vice president; Burnett Jones Noble, secretary; all employees of the Alice Foote, McDougall Tea Rooms, and the Francisance Casino, the same evening. Herem attended in full. The multicolored gowns, their beauty further enhanced by the unique lighting system, on which she was seated, and were as though they were fairies, was a beautiful sight. The box parties turned out with the usual-oh, well, what do you expect of a box party? And didn't we expect to be offered to us in the various boxes, when occasionally we managed to scramble off the floor Alpha Present Novelty The Eta, Alpha Alpha Lambda and Alpha Gamma Lambda chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, presented "A Night in Egypt by the Nassau Lanceance Casino. Crowds I've seen before, but never such a one as was at Alpha's formal. Everybody we knew was there, and unless you were a whole dance looking for your partner, they couldn't even find space in which to bump. Each舞 number was dedicated to each of the things pertaining to Egypt—such as to Antony, to Cleopatra, to the Sphinx and to the Pyramids. During the intermission, after the feathers of the dress were hanging on the floor, formed their circle, linked hands and sung their song and filed out, they came back, but this time each was pulling for all the ball, was worth on to the floor, was worth on to the floor, was worth on to the floor, which looked more like a clothes closet to us. Directly in front of the orchestra, this Sarcophagus, or mummy, it takes to tell, it takes to tell, stepped Louise Cooke, of "Hot Chocolates" fame. Whope! Did she dance? A regular hula hula affair which floored the guests, was recalled twice. So they must have liked her. Howard-Lincoln The Lincoln-Howard basketball game—at the Rockland Palace, on March 7. The downpour was the general favorite—so many from Philly, and the university itself came to cheer and cheer. We a hung over boxes and loges, we even had a general platform and the court—as much of the court as was allowed for sitting room. The game itself was hot, exciting, thrilling with "vahs" and "ohs" of the "palinulating" language. Howard started out to win, kept winning and the first half showed a score of 10-6 in the first half. The second half was really a match of players against players, and a tie score was reached. Five minutes to play—we all prayed for Lincoln though we were not sure if there were more two baskets and won, 27 to 23. But, to be more explicit, the teams tied at the end of the game, an extra five minutes was called with no results, and still another five minutes was Mention should be made of the opening when Kid Chocolate tossed the first ball. Chris "Dutch" Huswild referred to the best team. The best team, and this was the team that break for Howard, for thus far the odds have seemed to be against them. We all know what yelling and cheering is like at any game. We were funnies, we yelled ourselves kissed, we kissed, slipped all the time, yelled some more and so on until the orchestra reminded us that we were to dance at least. Imagine starting at almost two, and going home and face with the crowd still there and you have the popularity of those two rival teams to understand. Here and there were: Gladys Hawkins of Philadelphia, A.Lella Walker, Pay Cassel of Philadelphia, Lotte Roy, Louis for Baltimore; both Payne, Frank Horne, of Washington. After the Game A two-act college comedy entitled, "After the Game," by the Rainbow Girls Club of Abyssinian Baptist Church, in New York, and Mary Joell, as well as presented at the Girls Junior High School No. 36, last Friday evening, for the Colonial and North Harlem Community Council Camp Fund.

Spring Costume Ball. **Spring Costume.** The Harry Will came off at Webster Hall Friday night. Not the crowd that turned out for the first one of the season. No doubt, the Communist demonstration he held had the hack of numbers and spirits. However, Web Richbard. Glenn Carrington, the Jimmy Harrises, St. John L. Becker, Nell Ocomey, Robert D. Roberts, Kirkwood and William Clifford managed to have a whoooping good time. Michael Gold was there. **Harry Will's Apartment.** The Harry Will was established in their new home apartment on the Hill. What a magnificent home.

CHURCHES SPONSOR INTERRACE SOCIALS Bank Messenger Saves $20,000 from Bandit Plays, Discussion, Cards, Dancing on Program of Activities. St. Phillips Gave Combined Dance and Card Party. NEW YORK CITY—(CNS.)—As an experiment to promote racial good will, the Harlem League of the New York Federation of Churches and several other interested organizations are sponsoring an interracial social, at which there will be dancing and playlets staged by mixed casts. The Rev. Dr. William B. Miller, executive secretary of the federation, said this week that the meeting was not so much to encourage association between Negroes and white people as to discuss inter-racial problems The program sent out makes no mention of discussion. James H. Hubert, executive secretary of the Urban League, said that the meeting was aimed to promote amicable relations between the races. He pointed out that his team had social and dance work held at the league building, West 103 West 138 Street, about three months ago and was attended by 200 persons of both races. He said that it was planned to hold such a meeting every three months. Ice Breaking The meeting will open with an "interracial icebreaking prelude," led by Miss F. Louise Parrott. Girl Scout executive of Harlem. This is to consist of stunts or games in which both race groups will participate, Mr. Hubert explained. There will be two plays given by the Utopia Players, mixed actors under the direction of Miss Gladys McDonald, white, formerly of the staff of New York University. The plays over, everybody will sing spirituals and the "Negro National anthem." After more musical numbers, refreshments will be served and there will be dancing in which both groups will participate. Other organizations sponsoring the program at the Church of All Nations, 9 Second State, are the Fellowship Church promotion group on Christian relations and the New York Union League.

(ANP)—Only the bravery and fast running of a bank messenger Ossie Dunneman of the New Jersey Bank and Trust Company, saved $20,000 frowould-be bandits in Newark Friday morning. According to his usual schedu Dunneman, accompanied by a polit man James Bennett, was making delivery of cash to the Port Newark Bank. As was the custom, when the taxicab containing the messenger at the patrolman drew up in front the bank about 11:45, the patrolman with revolver in hand got out of the cab to make sure no bandits were the virility. Loitering on the sidewalk was well-dressed youth with a violin cape under his arm. He was the only person in the path of the messenger. Bennett motioned to Dunneman to follow him. As he turned to see Dunneman, he heard the command "Stick 'em up." The "musician" has extracted a sawed-off shotgun from his violin case and leveled it at the policeman. Instead of complying, Benne whipped up his pistol and commence firing. His shot and the somnathous one from the shotgun both were wild, the lead slugs from the gun striking the pavement about the policman's feet. Dunneman starts at a fast run towards the bank Shouting 'Help; Robbers!' Dunneman flung a leather bag containin the money across the sidewalk and through the bank door where it we saved as the robber and two accoupled fled by auto. The policeman was shot in the leg.

THOUGHTS OF THE FOUNDER In the state of Georgia the life of a Negro is just about as safe as it would be in a den of hungry lions. A Negro and a white man inflicted an attack on a Negro applied the vile epithet to the white man and was killed by him. The magistrate found that the white man had acted within his right, and since the Negro was dead, the white man was free. This is justice in the British land of Georgia. Moton's Subtle Rebuke to President Hoover The Moton commission, named by President Hoover to investigate educational conditions in Haiti, still lingers in Washington, waiting for the political storms engendered by the Forbes commission, to abate before it ventures forth. The commissioners know and the State Department knows that the moton department is already involved of his office and a new election comes at the head of the government the choice of the people, Haiti has no welcome on the door that for more U.S. probers. While the Moton commission lingers, opportunity is given to recall that it is the first time that the president University and the Tuskegee Institute have served on any such presidential group together. Not only has peace been declared between the advocates of industrial and higher education, but the great philanthropic agencies like the Rosannwald Fund and the Rockefeller Board-long-patronage are now also working Howard with large gifts. Dr. R. K. Moton, speaking at the Charter Day dinner at Howard University last week, recalled that the founder of Howard also helped to establish Hampton. Those who care to prophesy, may see in all the Moton commission has tickled the country on nothing else except the president Hoover, and named an all-white Forbes commission, observed all the formalities and rules of color prejudice by asking Dr. Moton to take a group of colored educators to look over the Haitian schools. But the gasp turned to a grin when Dr. Moton selected three colored men and one white man. True Mr. Farris is field secretary of the General Education Board, an expert upon whose recommendation that board makes appropriations. His presence on the Moton body guarantees the interest of the Haitian school problem. But what the country saw was the picture of the President of the United States setting up a color line and the principal of Tuskegee cutting across it. Those who recognized Mr. Hoover's implied insult, stopped ere they could make a protest. The laugh is on Mr. Hoover. The Moton commission, named by President Hoover to investigate educational conditions in Haiti, still linger in Washington, waiting for the political storm engendered by the Jesse Commission, which is ventures forth. The commissioners know and the State Department knows that unless and until President Dorno is relieved of his office and a new election takes place at the head of the government the choice of the people. Haiti has no welcome on the door that more people belong to. While the Moton commission lingers, opportunity is given to recall that this is the first time that the president of Howard University and the principal of Tuskegee Institute have served on any such presidential group together. Not only has peace been achieved between the two states and higher education, but the great philanthropic agencies like the Rosenwald Fund and the Rockefeller Board—long patrons of Hampton and Tuskegee—are now also supporting Howard with large gifts. Dr. R. E. Moton, the Moton Chairman of Charter Day, will be the last day in the university last week, recalled that the founder of Howard also helped to establish Hampton. Those who care to prophey, may see in all of this an indication of a working agreement in which Howard, Hampton, Tuskegee and Moton join to provide a specialization in the effort of development of effort and plant. Appointment of Mr. Leo M. Favrot, white, on the Moton commission has ticketed the country to the 2016 Olympics. America gasped as President Hoover, after naming an all-white Forbes commission, observed all the formalities and rules of color prejudice by asking Dr. Moton, a former educator, to follow the Italian schools. But the gas turned to a grin when Dr. Moton selected three colored men and one white man as his aides, and all accepted. True Mr. Favrot is field secretary of the General Education Board, an expert in these recommendations and makes appropriations on a presence on the Moton body guarantees the interest of the largest U.S. educational foundations in the Haitian school problem. But what the country saw was the picture of the President of the United States setting up a color line and the principal of Tuskegee cutting across it. Who recognized Mr. Hoover's implied insult, stopped are they could make a protest. The laugh is on Mr. Hoover. The Shirker M. R. R. Taylor, expert economist, back from a trip to Liberia, writes an article in the current issue of the Southern Workman, in which he suggests that Liberia is trying to get up in the world without hard work. He adds "Work with the hands must be dignified and glorified, and those people engaged in such work must have the same honor and respect shown them as officials of government and clerks." "Many people are like the white collar Liberians although they may not have gotten a good look at themselves. Speculators in the stock market, promoters of get-rich-quick schemes, flam-flammers are easily recognizable as members of a family opposed to hard work. Full-fledged members include the idle rich, who have inherited or amassed wealth in property or power and now use it to exploit others. These moneyhoggers may not support the other fellow. The shirking of work is not only an individual problem, but often a community problem. Every Baltimore colored lawyer dodged the Price case. Every woman's organization has dodged the case, and neither the secretary or lawyer in the juvenile court. Federated civic and political clubs without protest see the city spend millions for protection and hire only white police and firemen; they make no outcry when only fifty per cent of the eligible are in the other hand, where groups of citizens have attacked the problems of inequalities in teachers' salaries, appropriations for recreation or conduct of reformatories, changes for the better have emerged. Every community must be prepared to do a necessary amount of hard work, which can't be done in a high collar, and which nobody else can do for us. The man who works hard is as least alive, but the shirker is already dead. Mr. R. R. Taylor, expert economist, back from a trip to Liberia, writes an article in the current issue of the Southern Workman, in which he suggests that Liberia is trying to get up in the work. Those are his words stripped of frills, and he adds: "Work with the hands must be dignified and glorified, and those people engaged in such work must have the same honor and respect shown them as officials of government and education." Many people are like the white collar Liberians although they may not have gotten a good look at themselves. Speculators in the stock market, promoters of get-rich-quick schemes, film-flammers are easily made as members of a family opposed to hard work. Other full-fledged members include the idle rich, who have inherited or amassed wealth in property or power and now use it to work for others. In another "toll not spin" believe in work only for the other fellow. The shirking of work is not only an individual problem, but often a community problem. Every Baltimore colored lawyer, dodged the task of organizing has dodged the task of maintaining a secretary and "big sister" in the juvenile court. Federated civic and political clubs without protest see the city spend millions for protection and hire only white police and firemen; they make no outrage only fifty per cent of the civilian vote. On the other hand, where groups of citizens have attacked the problems of inequalities in teachers' salaries, appropriations for recreation or conduct of reformatories, changes for the better have ensued. For growth and progress every individual and every community must be prepared to do a task of constant hard work, which can't be done in a high collar, and which nobody else can do for us. The man who works hard is at least alive, but the shirker is already half-dead. A Whole Lot More Referring to the eight candidates which he nominated for the U. S. Naval Academy last week—two principals and three alternates, each—and the four more he is to name in April, Corbyn (Rep.), McCain (Rep.), and there'll be a whole lot more of them." There ought to be, for although the Negro has served in the United States Navy since the days of John Paul Jones, he has never been able to rise from the ranks except by concealing his identity. He was a naval officer of the U.S. Atlantic fleet called at Kingston, Jamaica, recently, fifty colored sailors were given shore leave. All were mess attendants. Four student appointments at the Naval Academy are allowed each senator and each Representative. Guarceau and Fowr to the vice-president. The President is authorized to appoint forty from the country at large, all of whom must be sons of soldiers and sailors killed in the World War. Mr. DePriest's insistence on naming colored men to West Point and Annapolis is bearing fruit. His example was followed by Representative Gavagan (Dem., Rep.) who barely defeated Mr. Hubert Delany (Rep.) for congress in the last seventeen years in Congress as representative of a district predominantly colored, has continually nominated whites only to the military and naval academies. Even h. Mr. Dyer wins, he'll be certain to change his policy. In addition to those Congressmen with large colored constituencies, upstanding humanitarians like Hamilton Fish (Rep. N.Y.) and George H. Tinkham (Rep. Mass.) can be relied upon, once the matter is called to their attention, to swell the list of candidates. Mr. Dyer is right—"There'll be a whole lot more of them."

Justifiableness? ？？？？ To the Editor: Much comment has been spread recently as to the proposal of Mr. Hoover to appoint a Negro on the commission to investigate the case of the commission. If it was take three things into consideration, first, that Mr. Hoover is a white man; second, that Mr. Hoover is President of Imperialistic America, and third that Mr. Hoover is a member of the G.O.P., we can clearly see why he did not appoint a Negative on the commission.

FRANK R. CROSSWAITH. New York. Names of Two Women Suggested for Melvale and To the Editor: With reference to improvements in the Melvale Industrial School for colored girls, as a step in the right direction, the board requested to appoint a member of the board of management, Mrs. Thomas R. Smith; and that Mayor Browning be likewise requested to appoint Mrs. Lottier, a member of same board, on the part of the city of Baltimore. Mrs. Smith is a lady of refinement, leisure, and means, who know some of our city charities, and no one who knows Mrs. Lottier could for one moment question her efficiency or good disposition. With such representative women on the governing board of an institution designed for the welfare of our children, she would be so linked up with the work to prove to the highest good both of the community and its inmates. Both the Governor and the Mayor are disposed to do the thing that will yield the highest good, and here is an opportunity to practically use our sincere good on behalf of the most needy of our population.

Colored persons may have dances and card parties but must have them by themselves and on separate occasions set aside by the priest. Besides, these colored people going in the back door through an alley and taking seats in an anteroom from which only the back of the priest is been removed to the back of the church, though paying their church dues—they seem to be satisfied with this un-Christian act and have been going there for more than a score of years. I gathered these facts with the expectation of questioning the priest, who seems to have no respect for his colored constituents, except for their money. Self pride and freedom in religion are not taught and would seem as if he wishes to make his less fortunate colored worshippers, who are many, believe that they are inferior in the sight of God as well as to his white congregation and that men and women will go from his church to two different heavens, one heaven for his white congregation and another for his colored.

The doctrine of the Virgin Birth brands every natural mother as impure. The Word of God says (Paul speaking, 1 Cor. 7:1): "It is good for a man not to touch a woman."

The Harmon Awarders Have Overlooked Aaron Douglas and Matthew W. Dogan. To the Editor: The ceremony attending the presentation, last Sunday, of the Harmon Awards, to those who were fortunate enough to meet the requirements laid down by the various committees, was an impressive one. In spite of its impressiveness, however, we want a way with a deep sense of spiritual depression. Try as we may, we cannot understand how any group or groups of individuals, who have constituted themselves judges, can, year after year, overdo the work of the卤an Douglas. We might have known that a group of amiable gentlemen, operating under the subtle influence of an astute standpatter like Dr. George E. Haynes, would have no patience with black artists who dared to be original. Looking at the world through white-colored glasses he is, naturally, blind to all efforts save those which reflect a white background. At present, all but one of our rapidly growing corns of artists have got off on the wrong foot. The exception is Aaron Douclas. To him we owe the little of real "Negro Art" of which we may boast. It is he who is ever trying to interpret—to give expression to the black man's soul. He is not imitation. It is creation. As a creator, he deserves a better deal than that which is given him by the dolers of the awards and fellowships. Matthew W. Dogan is a creator in another field. His field is education. There is not a single individual, who is interested in Negro education, who hasn't heard of President Dogan and his accomplishments at Wiley. The story of how he, with the meaware financial assistance from what used to be the Freedmen's Aid Society, raised Wiley from a class C school to a class of college reads like a romantic store. Out of Texas, he was born in May, he has moulded a college which ranks in outstanding accomplishments second to no. Negro collegiate standing. The persistent ignoring of the most commendable efforts of President Doan and Jarron has led us to question the motive of the doler of these awards. We find consolation in the thought that the doler will eventually rest around to us. Our friends and relatives have been guilty rewarded. G. VICTOR COOLS. New York City.

Job Finding Convention Only Needed in 1930 Convention Season will Soon Start Several Million Will Go to Roads and the Coun- tries to be Better off if We Held Only One Convention in 1930—that Should be a Job-Finding Conven- tion. Do Not Need Much Tolkow New. BY NANNIE H. BURROUGHS (For the Associated Negro Press) Unemployment throughout the country is on the increase. Jobs that we ours have have gone to machines, gone to white people, or gone out of style. We are not going to them back. We will have to make jobs. Do not waste too much time discussing the cause. If we want to know the entirely too much of the loss of occupations. We did not improve; were were too too much of the loss of occupations; we had to get of too often 'tend to a little business'; we had to attend too many workshops; we were too many of our employers pieces of our minds; we over-dressed; we got rich and bought cars and showed off our work; we fell over the place and on public carriers. We told the world how we treated our employers. People get tired of it. They get to think ... While we are laying off, talking big and laying them out, they are pooling their brains and their mounts, and they have all captured all kinds of machines and labor-saving devices. Now they are pressing custom and work out, while we are pressing bricks and getting our shoes worn out. They are sitting pretty and making money while we are doing the work. We brouch a whole lot of our implants. We brouch a whole lot of our on ourselves. Unless we get down to brass tacks and and use it to half and half as it "goes to be". Our occupations are gone. The only thing that is left for us to do is to stop some things, and start some other things. Money, and hot air. We keep our hard working people up too late in college. We keep our hard working people up too late in college. We are busy to not much money. It is time to nopalrate inexpensive funnels. Negroes have too many church funnels. We are paying too much costs to open a home funnel. Too many Negroes get to extend funerals in which they have no access to the "SPECT" for the dead costs more than our RESPECT for the living. Funerals among Negroes are the most expensive of what is put into the ground and paid for gas and time we put in reviewing the remains—the latter has cost many of us our jobs. Sometimes the worse the man, the bigger the turnout at the funeral. Let's stop it. Faternal organs are the most expensive assets and convert some frozen assets or one of their old dead weight halls into a huge factory and make all their relics, uniforms, and accessories in combination, alone, would give employment to several thousand capable men and women. A business is the heads of fraternal organizations would only look at their opportunity from an outsider, not cutting their "long enough to help their loyal and devoted followers. It is time for organizations to use labor and money more on foundations. Cut out unnecessary show and build some shops. We have spent millions for vulcan display and those from whom we have taken care of our jobs and look at us and laugh at our folly. Norro leaders have any sense at all, now the time for them to show it. Another way to help is to go back to the farm. Laborers who have large families are out of employment in cities like Cleveland, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Detroit. Laborers should go back to the farms and go to work. They certainly can raise enough to live on and we are sure they will raise their children from the demoralizing influences of overcrowded houses. Health record is bad. The fact of the matter is that there should be a well-planned, property organized farm among Negroes. Do not wait too long, because all of the farms will be gone or we will be demolished. We are poor in the city that we will be unfit for the new day that is certainly coming among the people in Women in these cities are actually killing themselves trying to get work done, while their husbands and sons are walking around trying to find something to do. There is no place in the city where they keep on walking, looking for a warm place to park. Our manhunt is going to pieces. We are going to look for them, doubt it, look into the dives, pool rooms, vice dens, on street corners, and you will be restoring to number playing and bootlegging. That means death and moral destruction. For Negro leaders, in all fields, to plan, together, a nationwide campaign on education and a crusade, to help the leaders should not wait until the people lose morale and heart before they pool their interests and their brains and find a way out. --- Our convention season—the most wasteful and worthless luxury for which the masses pay soon open, on the roads, in the streets, in the reads and big cars. Not for real business, but for show, to rival the Joneses, that is. As hard-pressed as we are—without our churches bankrupt, our schools dead broke and on the verge of collapse—our leaders are going to comb the churches bankrupt, our schools dead broke away our last dollar gasing around, dispensing hot air at the expense of the jobless masses. The whole race would be better off if we held on. One concession is "A Job Finding Convention." Only the heads of every convention or one of its representatives will be allowed to attend. Ideas should be allowed to attend. We do not need much talk now. We have taken ourselves out. We need all kinds of work and a plenty of it. We need practical advice on what we have and get what we need. should be planning to carry our negoties. Negro leaders should plan to enlighten the entire nation on the differences, and weave their crucible sentiment for economic justice is working effectively. The most charitable thing that American white people can do for the Negro at the negro level is to provide everyone who is capable of doing anything and willing to get on the job and stay on it, and then turn around and run all of the lofters of all races out of every room. The best way to break up bootlegging is to break up idleness. Able-bodied men are allowed to follow to loat. Alms for aged and disabled only should be our national slogan. Work, support yourself, should be the slogan for every other able-bodied American. What should you like to do, learn to like what you can get to do. Chips From The Quarry Chips From The Quarry The Proofreader Talks. Applying the principles which have been under discussion for the past few weeks, concerning the use of the plural will now be given—some affirmative, some negative. 1. Do NOT use the apostrophe to form the PLURAL of any noun—common or proper. 2. Plurals of PROPER nouns are the case may require) to the singular form; e.g. Brown, Browses; Murphy, Murphys; Jones, Joneses; Sheehan, Sheehan; Thomas—if they meant anything at all—would mean the PLURAL POSSESSIVE of some person; Thomas—if they meant anything at all—would mean the PLURAL POSSESSIVE of some person. The rules for the formation of the plurals of COMMON names are so well known, that they need not be 3. The apostrophe MAY be used in forming the purls of letters, figures, and groups of initials, but only when necessary to prevent ambiguity. For example, you can cross your 's'. For figures and symbols, the apostrophe need not generally be used. For example, in the financial reference to bonds as "1940 s", etc. as for combinations like, "all the B.Y.P.U.'s", the apostrophe is not really needed; but the better thing is to use the sentence, e.g., "every B.Y.P.U." Any person not able to reword his sentences so as to avoid these awkward plurals, needs to find another job. F. H. M. M. An Alphabetical Wooing. Let others talk of L N's Ts.

Moton of Tuskegee, the foremost representative of the race in America, has written to The Times that his pet animal, the Negro, "capitalized." It is a little thing mechanically to grant, but it is not a small thing in its implications. Every person, from children to millions who have risen from a low estate into the "brotherhood of the races." New York Times now joins many of the leading Southern newspapers as well as most of the Northern in according this recognition. It is not merely a recognition to the list of words to be capitalized. It is not merely a typographical change: it is an act in recognition of racial self-respect for generations in "the lower case." -NY TIMES. Wants it Ousted.

Archibald Grimke, a Negro Puritan, Dead at 80 He Practiced the Philosophy of Plain Living and High Thinking. He Was a Scholar and a Gentleman. One Who Knew How to Be a Radical Without Being a Nuisance. BY KELLY MILLER Archibald H. Grimke was a Puritan in the strictest meaning of the term. The Northern philanthropists, in the early years immediately following Emancipation, prized his newfound freedom, newly freed slaves, based on the rigid canons of Cotton Matthew and Jonathan Edwards. They aimed to graft Puritan principles upon the new generation. At first there was one semblance of success. The very first crop of Negro graduates manifested the moral austerity of the New Englander at his best. But following the law of electricity, the body remained in a long as long in close contact with an connection with the inducing influence. The spiritual and moral earnestness of the early graduates of Lincoln, Fisk, Atlanta and Howard, compared with that of the present-day output, seems less like a comparison than a contrast. Steeped in the Puritan Tradition In the Grimke brothers—Archibald and Francis—the strenuous moral propaganda of the Puritans of the New England extinction, the were endowed with the basic stamina out of which deep conviction and moral courage grow. The rigid Presbyterian discipline of the founders of Lincoln University found in their early years in which their seed was abundant fruit. After finishing Lincoln, Francis Grimke vent into the ministry, and his brother, Archibald, entered upon the study of law at Harvard University. This brought him in close intimate touch with the form and culture of the United character and culture. He became deeply steeped in the Puritan cult. for Literature After essaying the field of law, he took up literature as a profession and took high: rank in the craft as author of the lives of Charles Summer and Wendell Phillips. The Puritan propensity of protestantism made him rarely manly manifest itself. He was among the first colored men to be rebel against the apostasy of the Republican party. He stood out prominently among the young reformers of American politics. He thus came to the notice of President Grover Cleveland to son who appointed him to San Jose where he served with credit and honor to both countries and both races conquered. By thrift and economy, characteristic of training and tuition, he laid up a moderate competency which enabled him to live the cultural life of a gentleman for the balance of life. United Plain Living with High Thinking His tastes were simple and inexpensive. He practiced the philosophy of plain living and high thinking. He literally lived the life of a scholar and gentleman. His leisure time was spent amist literary and artistic among works of thought and taste. He spent the last thirty-five years of his life in the home of his brother where father, brother and daughter formed a beautiful house, surrounded by all of blood, but of devotion to righteousness and high ideals. Devoted Last Years to Animation for Rights During his long residence in Washington, he devoted his active life to agitation for the political and civil rights of the poor, not only served without money and without price, but contributed liberally of his moderate money to the work of the National Association, which he devoted his best endeavors. As local chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People he made a point not only his business, He was a radical among the radicals, but his radicalism was always tempered with a fine sense of values and a discriminatory mind. He was a scholar and the scholar who can be a radical and an agitator without being a nuisance. Archibald Grimke was born in 1849, and died in Washington at the ripe age of eighty years. During his time he spent with great rights. The lengthening shadow of death, but he bore it all with the resignation and calm that becomes a man of his culture. He died as he lived, devoted to his work. The loyal members of the N.A.A.C. bore his remains to their last resting place. His Life and Career in Inspiration He leaves behind him most valuable lessons for the young college men of this day and generation. The present day intelligence finds itself strained by the challenges of strengeness and tendencies. The sanctions of religion are breaking down. Obedience to authority, of God or man, no longer furnish a light to the feet nor a lamp to the pathway. Liberation from the laxity of conduct. Devotion to human rights and moral values is giving way to material allurements. But none of these things moved Archibald Grinke. He upheld the gentleman, the scholar, the upright college man, devoted and loyal to the cause of his fellow men. THE WIFE By Ethel Keller She ain't nobody's fool, I tell you all. That she looks more like twelve than twenty-one. I tell her that she rolls up in the sun Just like a kitten putting on a mat. Quickly as a flash to give you it tit for it. But never any meanness in her fun. Half child, half woman, when all's said and done. She always knows herself where she is. I used to think I had a line on girls, But, Gosh! I can be sitting at her side. Watching her needle fly, and never guess What thoughts are going on beneath her curls, Whether she's planning how to make a dress Or grieving for the little one that died. Day by Day By WILLIAM N. JONES Laughing Off a Big Commist Demonstration While police of Cossack incitations killed three and arrested 600 in the world-wide Communist demonstrations last Thursday, General Charles W. McCain and his police laugh it off in Baltimore. Even when the local Communist leaders refused to obtain a permit offered in advance to them, the police department produced a "Commist" of their own making to ask the permit to make the affair legal. In addition, the General assigned to the parade about policemen for every Communist in the line — not to swat them over and see that the way was clear for their march and denounce. The result was that instead of the affair becoming a red gory with the Communists supplying the land it turned out to be a good-hat demonstration against unemployment with a good time by all. Let us hope that General Gatherer will pass the word down the line that the kind of policing he will be applied to police and handling all their affairs and that the use of the night stick is rarely necessary in dealing with human beings. He must not be forgotten, however, that 10,000 or more people who gathered in the neighborhood Communist, headquarters, on the line of march and at the Plaza where the demonstration of the red hat were interested in their doctrines because there is a real unemployment crisis in Baltimore. Although we are in better shape here than in some cities' every effort must be made to provide employment and woman who needs and wants work. There was a time when a community could wash its hands of the evils of badly managed industry which brought hard times, but the new idea in governmental business now supposes that those who manage it should also municipalities should see that when hard times come the resources of the community, private and public, should be pooled to provide work and industrial opportunities for every good citizen. Industrial leaders today who hard wealth in industry of deposition and selfishly think own interests while men and women go hungry looking for work are no better than men who stand on a river bank and people drown without giving a. When such a large number of people as went out to greet the Hampton players last Friday evening, night it, time to compel the group on its cultural appreciation. More than this, the presentation of plays and what will follow assuredly be the most important factors in the immediate development of the group. While our genius for creating a play seed in a lazage, the drama is still left as a basis for presenting the more cultural and serious side of our lives. The success of the affair is also another star in the crown of that quiet and progressive young Morgan College teacher, Randolph Eldon, putting this city on the dramatic stage. When we can produce plays and act them with race conscious appreciation, we will be laying the foundation for the production of commercial and financial structures we will develop an appreciation for the things we can ourselves do. It is highly commendable to be able to appreciate the civilizations and accomplishments of other racial groups, but far more desirable to be able to partake in our accomplishments. The drama gives this part of our development wide play. The Baltimore Little Theatre group will present a group of three plays Friday of next week. Let's Make This a Y.M.C.A. Town A group of Baltimore men are out this week to add 500 new members to the Druid Hill Branch of the Y.M.C.A. This branch should have the least 2000 members, with its extension to every part of the city. Under an energetic man like William C. Anderson, Jr., the local branch can do an important piece of work here, and with the building completely remodeled and furnished, the patronage of the grant project, it no doubt will. When the membership roll is finally checked up, it should contain the name of every minister of the gospel, very superintendent in the Sunday schools, every male teacher in the public school business and professional. With these supporting forces behind the "Y" the secretary should then be able to go out and add activities to reach more than a thousand young men who need the information for their jobs. There is something distinctive about a "Y. M. C. A. town. And since we have the equipment, there is no reason why we should not have a live "Y" organization helping the church, helping business and professional men to cure the patronage of the youth whom the teachers bring up to the age of accomplishment. Here certainly is a common interest; and whether or not ministers, doctors, lawyers, and business men can find time to meet they should at least lend their moral support by becoming members. Interesting to note the names which will appear in the check-up." "Africans have much in common in their proverbs show.

RHODES STILL IN' Reprisals Feared if Voters are Alarmed. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Showing the hostile attitude of the Hoover administration toward colored Republicans, a political bombshell was ex- ploded here, this week, when it became known that the name of ex-State Representative Andrew F. Stevens, who was appointed supervisor of the forthcoming census, had been unceremoniously dropped from the rolls of the Census Bureau in Washington, when they learned he was a Nero. It was only after a vigorous protest to the authorities in Washington by Kare leaders that his name was restored. Mr. Stevens received his appointment about the first of the year and insisted that he continue his business and financial sectionality. His office was located on the fourth floor of the Gimbel Building, 6th and Chestnut Streets, where he is the only colored face among the hundred clerks — all white. It is understood that no Negro clerks will be employed in taking the local census — only enumerators, clerks, and Mr. Stevens's secretary is a Jewess, his designation of a competent young colored woman to that responsible position, having been turned down.

NEW YORK CITY TRADER HIDES FROM WRATH OF NATIVES Africans He Robbed Demand His Blood. PHILADELPHIA — Cringing somewhere in his hiding place, Daniel Shaw, white, Gold Coast trader, is trying to escape the sentence of death which emissaries of the powerful Krobos tribe, from whom he is said to have stolen a $1,500,000 cocoa bean crop, are in this country to bring him to justice, it has been learned here. But he may be spared the sure death of the trader, who never fail to execute, has been indicated by Chief Teddy Answer, who is in this country to institute legal proceedings against Shaw, F. D. Strickler, a fellow trader, and William Hawes and Company, American firm which handled the crop, Shaw, it is said, proclaimed his fellow trader, Strickler, when the crop mysteriously disappeared. Krobos Vengeance The tribe's vengeance; however, is still to fall on Strickler, who is also in hiding somewhere. If he ever falls into the hands of the Krobos, he is doomed to be burned at the stake or subjected to torture such as this tribe metes out to those condemns to the most terrible deaths. Trusted Whites The vast cocoa bean crop which this tribe cultivates runs each year into the millions. Shaw and his associates were trusted with marketing the crop, but when asked to make accounting, it was found that the entire crop had mysteriously disappeared. The African natives, however, were not impressed with the explanation or lack of explanation, and when a group of them went through the ceremony of shooting arrows into the ground at the beat of tom toms, it meant the death decree. Relatives of Strickler, even now, do not know whether he has met his shadow has not been certain for some time whether she is wife or widow.

In filling out the blanks, the police will take out the name and address of the person out of work; whether married or single, the number of dependents, the type of labor; whether or not immediate relief is sought, and answer the question: "Is the individual dependable and willing to work?" The policeman will also record the number of vacant stores, homes and apartments and the condition of the properties. Results of the survey will be given to the mayor to be taken up with local employers.

On the campus, there are significant movements in social advancement in Philadelphia was the establishment recently, of a home in Elmwood for young orphans before they were brought to the city by Rev. Robert Wood and Mrs. Wood. The home started when the couple took their philanthropy in their home, 1615 W. Thompson Street. So splendid was the attention given these young tots, that neighborhood was filled and asked if Rev. and Mrs. Wood would object to caring for their children while they were growing up. They came the demands upon this couple and their services that they were forced to seek larger spaces. The city established two portable schools on the grounds, with grades from 1 to 6. As stands now, there are 42 children, and the institution is filled to capacity. And at the present moment five children have been there because there is no other place for them.

Clouds hung low and the rain beat a torential and infrared tattoo on roofs and walls of the library, Thomas Builer, Mrs. Anna Marquess, Miss Elizabeth Walker, Mrs. Fannie Williams-Howard, of Bordentown, and former-mentor of the library, Johnson León, Blackman, Mordaine Draine, George Lyle, and Helen Delawe, engaged in that mith-provoking wager that a man would be able to win twenty-five consecutive hours—and find himself living at the end of such a hectice day. For the $10,000 wager slaked against such tremendous odds, Alle Hughes—former stage celebrity,—as Bob was not to be eclipsed in acting, by Norman Johnson—was the first to win the stage, and J. Thomas Butler, dramatic reader, as Ralston, nor young Joseph Trent (Van Dusen) son of the Philadelphia contender. George Lyle, principal of one of the elementary schools, was excellent in the role of Mrs. Anna Marquess as Mrs. Ralston, mother of Gwendolyn—which part was played by the clever Betty Walker, was availably a part of the play. But much of the spontaneous laughter, and general applause were centered around the brilliant of Leona Blackman, and the marvelous of Johnson León, as Laded, the two young gold-diggers. Fortie Impersonations Mrs. William Pforte drew a "full house," the other evening, to spare space for the young characters. Mrs. Pforte is versatile in this particular art, all of us will testify, but she was especially adept at drawing the characters. Mrs. Pforte gave her audience a true picture of foreign peddlers in general and an Assyrian one in particular; the dramatic monologue; and the "Screen Maiden," in which the romantic dreamer making her way through the streets teaching little Mrs. Pforte was assisted in this by Norwood, the Japanese Maiden, painted on the screen. However, this artist was at her best in Joan of Arc as the white-robed prisoner-chains, and champs, and prayers not excluded—about to meet her nemesis at the Mr. Theodore R. Penny also assisted Mrs. Pforte in making her unusual presentation advantage in "Stolen Jewels." The "Honorary Ushers Corps" captained by Elizabeth Jones, lieutenanted by Mrs. Lacy Doss, corporalied by Helen Jones, and Bernice Dutriculle (Reckon the privates were off on the furlough) wore colorful little caps, which had the good grace (a more coincidence) to contrast, or blend: mirably with the frocks worn by these officers, whose duties not only included preventing intemers from breaking through the ranks during a very tense moment, but also to extend programmes—most artistic little tricks they were, too, to be sure—and it was Cap'n Jones who presented Mrs. Fortle with the lovely bunch of flowers sent by some admirer.—at the close of the evening's performance.

Watch Your Hair Grow Soft THE NEW YORK TIMES PLUKO HAIR DRESSING FIVE MINUTE WAY TO SOFT, STRAIGHT HAIR ATWELL, HOOVER AIDE IN WAR, SILENT NOW PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Ernest T. Atwell's association with President Hoover as an assistant food administrator during the war, has not led to any closer association since Mr. Hoover has entered the White House. Mr. Atwell who is field secretary of the National Playground and Recreation Association, goes about his job just as if his former chief were not in the White House. Incidentally also, Mr. Hoover who found it advisable during the war to secure the support of the large colored civilian population and ask for their co-operation as a team when to help general food conservation has proceeded in the White House as if the colored people never existed. During the war Mr. Hoover, who was food administrator, chose as national director in charge of the activities among colored people, Mr. Atwell for 15 years had been business agent for Tuskegee Institute. Under Mr. Atwell the state department deputies, local food committees and like agencies, taking in every class of the colored population, were named. Through Mr. Atwell 12,000,000 open letters were circulated to colored people reading as follows: FREEDOM "An Appeal to the Negroes of the United States "Our Nation is engaged in a war for its very existence. To win this war we must save food, grow food, and institute other foods for those most easily shipped to our associates in the war and our own soldiers in France, thousands of whom are men of your own race. For Food Administration realizes that the Negro people of this Nation can be of the utmost help in food conservation and food production. "Every Negro man, woman, and child can render a definite service by responding to the appeal and in response to the Police Administration and J&S representatives. "The Negroes have shown themselves loyal and responsive in every national crisis. Their greatest opportunity of the present day, to exercise his ability, is to help save and grow food. "I am confident that they will respond to the suggestions of the Food Administration and thus prove again their patriotism for the winning of this war. (Signed) HERBERT HOOVER. After the War At the end of the war, Mr. Atwell not only passed out of the life of the Hoovers, but the colored people also. Since his election to office a year ago, Mr. Hoover has made progress in his messages nor has he mentioned the Negro race.

CITY HALL PACKED ATLANTIC CITY--A delegation packed the city hall here to protest against the 50 per cent cut in the pay of jantlers and laborers and the dismissing of policemen as a result of the recent reduction of the budget which cut the municipal income, last Thursday. The mayor was headed by Mrs. M. Edwards, Isaac N. Nutter and Mrs. Naomi Young. Calling on the commissioners to restore both wages and men to their jobs, the spokesman pointed out that the $66 half pay being given the laborers, was an impossible wage and encouraged crime. Speaking for the wives of the men, Mrs. Edwards, who is the daughter of Ex-Commressman Thomas E. Miller of South Carolina, urged the commission to start somewhere else with the economy plan rather than with the already poorly paid laborers. Isaac Nutter, attorney, declared that 500 are out of work and that 2,000 are now being fed by various welfare organizations. He also protested against laying off laborers instead of starting at the top of the In his statement he also urged that members of the race be given representation at all levels and on all committees which decided on the employment or conditions affecting them. The mayor stated that he, favored such representation.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin off After 80 Years NEW YORK CITY. — The Actors' Equity Association recorded this week that for the first time since 1963, he played Harriet Becker Stow's drama of slavery days, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," anywhere in the country. A little girl named Cordelia Howard, four years old, helped Eva winging up to the Golden Gate in Troy, N.Y., September 7, 1652, the customers fell over in the aisle and wept.

PLAYGOERS PLEASED BY HAMPTON PLAYERS Visiting Thespians Give Creditable Performance to Storm-Braving Audience. "Man Upstairs" and "Phipps" Next in Order. Three one-act plays, "Phipps," "The Dreamy Kid," and "The Man Up Stairs," furnished vehicles for some of the best amateur dramatics that Baltimoreans were witnessed recent when they were presented by the Hamilton Players at the Douglass High School auditorium, Friday evening. "The Dreamy Kid," was by far the outstanding presentation of the group. Written by Eugene O'Neil and depicting the loyalty and love between an amateur and a grandmother and a grandmother who saw in him only the dreamy kievness of the baby whom she had rearced, the four members of the cast, Cornelia Hall as the grandmother; Charles Wilkinson, as Abe, the grandson; Elizabeth Bradley, the sweetheart of Abe, who in spite of the shady character she portrayed, yet had something of loyalty that was good to see, and, as a result of the Trene, a sister of Abe's, walked through the scene in a portrait that was as realistic as the story was true to life. Light Comedy, Force Please While "Phipps" and the "Man Up Stairs" were of the lighter variety of musicals and tribulations of the usual married couples, they were nevertheless, good entertainment and amusingly done. The cast in "Phipps" included George W. Clark, Carylle Pinkins and Arthur C. Gavrin, who as the English butler, who straightens out the marital tangles of the usual piece of acting. Arthur C. Brooks, Charlotte Colbert, Elizabeth Bradley, Smith Starling and Carylle Pinkins made up the cast for "The Man Up Stairs" which was another marital mix-up, but carried through with a zip that gave the audience a good half-hour of amusement. Music between the acts was furious by the Morgan College Orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Shirley Graham McCanns.

AFRO RADIO HELPS WHEN SOLDERING COIL CONNECTIONS When any soldering must be done on a tuning oil, care must be taken that the insulation of the adjoining coils is not charred or burned by the heat of the iron. If the insulation of several turns of the coil is needed, a tracing path across the turns of wire will be presented to the radio frequency currents. As a result, several turns of the coil windling will be short-circuited and inefficient operation will result.

UN The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 15, 1930 It'sNobody'sBusiness PERSISTENCE, those wise gentlemen of Big Business relate, is a highly admirable quality. It has won wars, built bridges and furnished the power that drives the wheels that turn out the Nation's Business. And then, sometimes, there may be a question in your mind as to whether or not it may be possible to get an overdose of this potent medicine. Take, for instance, the case of Julia (of course that's not her real name), who suddenly acquired a burning desire to see her name in the big lights of a theatre on the Great White Way. As a child, Julia was what one might term the Quiet Type. Her life was uneventful until she entered high school, and then the loss of the breadwinner of the family made it necessary for her to lay aside her books and go to work. She was a likeable young girl, no beauty prize winner or fashion plate, but she had that Something About Her that made her liked—but not loved. It was not hard, then, for her to find something to do, and for two years she had her job as nurse mala in aeless family. title of it read, "The Art of Stage Make-Up." And you tell me about persistence. . . Note on "Churches" — If there are such things as church seed, somebody certainly planted a flock of them every time. On almost every corner in some souvenir will find these store-front places of "washup." Some of them are on the level and others are just on the street level or below. This of course has nothing to do with the story that follows, but it happen- The work was not very hard, the hours reasonable and the pay as well as the average. Julia was 19—an impressionable age. Paying attention on her afternoons and at nights to see her at one of the town's theatres. Vaudeville and musical comedy seemed to be made to order for her, the dancing of snappy sepa maids and a particular appeal for her. Would she go backstage to shake hands with some of them? She almost flew back there when a girl friend insisted she was serious in her invitation. One trip called for another and she watchman knew her goings and comings almost as well as his own. She watched the dancers go through their routines, and when she went back home or on the job she tried to repeat them, but her efforts were unsuccessful. A year passes, and we find her married, but still working on her old job and still making her rounds of the theatre. "Sa-aay, kid, I might be able to use you some day," a woman jointly salutes her after one of the matines. And she believed him. But marriage and tramping through an alley to mingle backstage with a crowd of actors seemed an odd combination to the shirt quilt. Besides, he pointed out, people were already beginning to talk about her conduct. But hadn't a manager already told her that he would give her a break? Certainly, he had, and the stage meant more to her than any home environment. But when the show was preparing to leave town, and the manager found she was really serious in her desire to accompany them, he confessed that he had kidded her. "But she was not really ready, even pay my own way." So she "entire three months later she returned, a useful sight, ill-nourished and unkempt. Her job gone, and her husband nowhere to be found, she walked the streets. Those she thought her friends either laughed or sneered, and pans in a Greek restaurant on the avenue. You'd think she be bitter toward the stage by now, wouldn't you? I saw her backstage the other day, and under her arm was a book. The {title of it read, "The Art of Stage Make-Up. And you tell me about persistence. Note on "Churches"— If there are such things as church sects, we certainly planted a flower of them in this man's town. On almost every corner in some sections, you will find these storefront places of "washup." Some of them are on the level and others are below. This of course has nothing to do with the story that follows, but it happened that there was considerable suspicion in the minds of some who are hired to enforce the law that all was not religion that went on before all-papered windows of one of them. But when the flat feet entered, much to their surprise, they found, instead of the crowd they expected, a man with a long nose and twenty, just preparing to sing. One bloated fellow, who evidently was the leader of the flock was just announcing: "Everybody now, jine in on number 754." So after hearing the hymn, and feeling assured, after a casual survey that all was well, the officers left the place. Assured that there interruption the "parson," reaching in his hip pocket, extracted what appeared to be an order book, and in a griff voice said: "Now just who was hit wanted to play a nickel on 754?" Hot Cha-Cha Sleep Sam say his girl must be a store-keeper's daughter, cause she has such funny notions. "We'll all join in singing that rolling detective song, entitled 'Wherever You Go, I'm Following You.'" A Sad Story There's no way for you to have missed hearing the "St. James Infirmary Blues," no matter where you live. But you might not remember all of the words, so for your memory's sake, this department is presenting them to you. So start singing: ST. JAMES INFIRMARY BLUES I went down to old Joe's barroom On the corner of the square The drinks were served as usual And a goodly crowd was there. On my left stood Joe McIntyre And I saw him laughing As he looked this good crowd over These are the words he said: I went down to St. James Infirmary I saw my baby there Stretched on a long white table I felt fair Let her go, let her go. God bless her. Wherever she may be Hear Josiah Diggs Owner RACE SCHOOLS FORM NEW DRAMA GROUP Five Colleges Charter Members of Intercollegiate Association.

What will undoubtedly prove one of the great forward steps in Negr e education took place on Morgan College Campus Friday afternoon, when representatives from Hampton Institute, Va., State College, Union University, Howard University, and Morgan College met and formed the first intercollegiate dramatic association among colored schools. The purpose of the association is to foster friendship among the colleges, and to make the drama an effective means of teaching, and to develop community dramatics and Negro folk material. The members of the club plan to stage at least one intercollegiate program a year, and to hold a tournament in which all shall take part. Edmunds Heads Group The faculty officers elected were: Mr. S.

Present Blue Bird CHARLESTON, W. Va. — Before a crowd which tested the capacity of the Garnet High School auditorium, the College Alumnae Club of Kanawha County presented as its annual entertainment Maurice Maerlockin's "The Blue Bird," a presentation was largely due to the fine work of four members of the cast. Carolyn Hill as Ttytil; Benjamin Patterson a student at West Virginia State College, as Bread Broadway Broadcasters, as Tyttile and Sarah M. Reid as the Narrator. A supporting cast of one hundred and fifty persons, running the whole gamut of age worked every minute and the cast was Tyttile.

Step into the New York Neste Club any Sunday morning, and you're likely to run into Pete Nugent, Sammy Green or Joe Timmons, the most famous of the professional clubs and you're sure to see Monette Moore and Grace Conway or possibly Mettie Martha. The same thing holds true of fighters in the ring, who are peep into Johnny Jackson's Tabbs' or the Rosbud and you can find any actor person who has has the slightest theatrical connection to the fight, they soon will be, or someone will tell you exactly where they can be found. The Dish-Paun and the Hobby Club, the two recognized meeting places of poets, artists, musicians or what have you. Both places are ideal democracies — of speech and ideas; no lines drawn, color or otherwise; and the most famous places for them. One is likely to bump into Nora Holt Rav. Famie Brie, Taylor Gordon. Helen Morgan, Alaine Locke or Pete Sandie, who drives from a shakerhead on communism or blah, for half the night.

JIM EUROPE STARTED FOX TROT,SAYS ARTIST Lale Bandmaster Credited with Paving Way for Race Musicians NEW YORK—Credit for the invention of the now popular dance, the fox-trot, is due to the Europe accord; to these Castle McLaughlin, white, one of America's greatest exponents of the dance, who has written in Opportunity some reminiscences of the man who put race dance orchestras on the map. The writer, who with her late husband, Jerome Castle, opened the way race musicians to secure high tide employment, says: "It was Jim Europe who suggested the Fox-Trot to us—for all I know, he invented it and deserves all of the credit for this most popular dance of the name, but I do know that the tempo was the invention of his ingenious musical mind. He played it and we made our feet do what they could do. Certainly, no dance has enjoyed the popularity of the fox trot and far as I can see, it is here to stay." Another invention of Jim Europe's was the 'Half and Half.' He was aided in this by Ford Dabney. The tempo was something so new that it never became popular. Not only was it a new style, but complicated to be dug universally. Was Frequent Visitor "Dabney, who afterwards made a name for himself on Ziegfeld's New York Roof, was a close friend of Europe's and they often came down to our Manhasset home on Sunday for a concert, no hours at a time. We always had several week-end guests staying with us and no matter how full a program we had planned for Sunday, all bells were in sight when Europe and Dabney love in sight. Speaking of the late musician as the "Paul Whitman of the colored race," the writer concludes by saying: "I realize that his music was the most complete made me the most effort to the dance — long his memory!" Girl Dancer Scores After taking three encores at the Alhambra Theatre, New York, Tuesday evening, Earl Tucker, better known as "Snake Hios," treated the audience to an addition of a choreographed reach over in the chorus and picked little Wilhemina Wade, a former member of the Blackbirds show, which featured Tucker, and went through the fastest Lindbergh ever saw in New York. The pretty little bronze girl, perfectly formed, weighing just a little over one hundred pounds was a fashing, smiling child who wandered as she leaped through the air lightly in perfect rhythm with the music and fairy outdanced the nimble "Snake Hios" who furnished the tap rhythm Miss Wade, or "Mina," as she danced the most brilliant performances in the ensemble, her work standing out above that of the average girl. Ol' Man Adam's Chillun is Basis for "Green Pastures" New Version of Wrestling Jacob, David and His Psalms, Given in Bradford Interpretation "The Green Pastures," Marc Connolly's all-race play, which has found high favor with the critics and theatre-goers who have witnessed it at the Mansfield Theatre in New York, is in effect the story of the Old Testament as told in Roark Bradford's book, "Ol Man Adam an His Chillun." It should be pointed out, however, that while the book is written in a rather facetious and discalms any effort at seriousness, the play aims to give a serious portrayal of faith, despite the fact that its episodes receive a humorous reaction. There is no intent of sae- day the Lord visited David and as they sat on the front porch and talked, Uriah came out, on her porch when she tried to but not bathe, but began washing her clothes. "Dat's Uriah's wife," say King David. "You mean hit's Uriah's widener," say de Lawd. "Uriah's which?" say de King. "Widder," say de Lawd. "Ole Uriah's which?" say de Lawd. "Ole my enemies, and when they got done wid him they had to haul him off in a sack." "Naw!" say de King David. "Woman! Well, I be doggone!" So he got up and started back in de house. "Whar you goin' now, King David!" say de Lawd. "To git my pencil and paper," say ole King David. "I'm goner write another psalm." The original book abounds in rich humor as well as eloquence and plety, as some excerpts from it will show. There is, for instance, the story of plus sin, as imagined by some old plius preacher, who says, "I saw the sun pass one Sunday mawln' de Lawd wad wawkin' de yearth and he seed a bunch of boys playin' marbles on de side of de road. He look and he seed a boy shoot a marble and knock two marbles out of de ring. "Venture dubs,' say de yuther little boy. "I said 'dubs first,' say de marble-shooter. So they fit and, de marble-shootin' boy was gittin' licked, so he say, 'Didn't I say 'dubs first, Mister?' right at de Lawd. 'You don't know who you' tawkin' to, does you, son?' say de Lawd. "Nawp," say de marble-shooter. "You want to say 'nawsh' when you tawkin' to me, 'cause Ise de Lawd. And wevowed said unto me, 'Marble not,' and out yar marblin' on Sunday." Young Versus Old The age-old problem as to who is responsible for sinful conditions is not a new one, evidently, from the following conversation between Abraham and the Lord. "Lawd," says Abraham, "hit's so many young folks since you flooded me out—" "Naw, hint ain't," say de Lawd. "Don't go to blamm anything on de young folks." Because of the trouble is, they just mean in they hearts. They's got bad blood." Wrestling Jacob "When I grabs you, boy," say Jacob, "you gon't learn old Satan got you." You better grab old Satan den satan you, die angel, "cause old Satan wouldn't do nothin" but jest pitch you in die fire wad a pitchfawk. And dat ain't nothin to what I'm gonna do. Satan lawd. I lawd. I thought I was goner see some wrasstin. But hit looks like now hit ain't nothin' but a braggin' match. "I ain't braggin', say Jacob. "Well, whent you show him?" say de lawd. So Jacob dances round again, and den keri-kil! He grabs angel, and no sooner do he grab angel to ker-kil! Jacob hit de ground. "Ole lady," say Jacob, "you better bring de miment, when my ankle when my foot shipped." "Yeah," say de angel, "dem under holts I had on you'd make anybody's foot slip." King David "Regular" Biblical characters were all "reguar fellows," as the following excerpt shows: He was David made a mighty king. He always had his armies out fightin' for de Lawd, and he was always busy at home, holdin' cout and keenin' de womenfolk straightened down. He day, ole King David was setin' on de front poch, jest setin' back, smokin' a cigar and lettin' his dinner settle. He was a mighty king, but he acted jest like a natchman like a man from David lived a "vamp" named Uriah, whose husband was an officer in David's army. She was a beautiful woman and on any number of occasions she numbered a king, but he had passed, going so far as to write a psalm concerning his resisting temptation. One day Uriah appeared on the front poch of her home with a tub, and been disrobing, prepa- "Gall!" say ole King David, "nin't you go no shame? Whyn't you git back in dat house, Standin' out yat dat house, bird Somebody comin' down do row, and see you, just know you know." David and His Psa'm B. Tuiah took her bath in full view of David and when she had finished she persuaded her to help them back to the house. That was on Saturday, and David wasn't seen again until Monday. On that day the Lord visited David and as they sat on the front porch and talked, Uriah came out on her porch with the tub, but much less relief she did bathe, but began washing her clothes. "Dat's Uriah's wife," say King David. "You mean nit's Uriah's wider, say nit's Uriah's wider," say king David. "Wider, say de Lawd." "Ole Uriah got mixed up mid one er my enemies, and when they got done wid him they had to haul him off in a sack." "So she's ole King David. So she's a ole woman! Well, I be doggone!" So he got up and started back in de house. "Whar you goin' now, King David?" say de Lawd. "Say ole King David." "Say ole King David." "I'm gon't write another nsa.m." Listening In CHRIST UNIQUE, SAYS DR. POLING Answering the charge made recently by a novelist that Jesus was the author of the book, Poling points out that Christ was vitally original and preeminently unique in his teachings during a sermon to be heard over WJZ as a Youth Conference, Sunday afternoon, March 16, at 3:00 o'clock.

BARNHOUSE ON "GREAT DOWNRISTS"—SAD-DUCESS "A materialistic view of the Universe is no new thing," declared the Rev. Donald G. Barnhouse, of Philadelphia, who will deliver his sermon, "Great Mistreats" — The Sadists, over WJAC at 5:30 p.m., Sunday, March 16. "Many think that this is the modern outlook, that it is our century's contribution to great thinking. They are millennium wrong in their calculation. Thousands of men have survived and denied the supernatural, who sought to explain away the miracles, who did not believe in any resurrection. This party constituted one of the chief groups at enmity with Christ. He disposed of the people. Many of them have settled the matter but men are very slow to learn and will not profit by the experience of the past."

Wednesday night, March 19 at 7:30 c:clock. DIXIE ECHOES FEAST Rosmond Johnson's radio aggregation introduced a new wrinkle in their hour last week. The weekly get-together was held during an old-fashioned week, which was commented upon by the director himself. "Peter, Go Ring De Bells," "Hol De Wind," "Swing on de Golden Gate," "My Lord, a Morning," "Hold Out Your Light," "Louisiana," "Hold Out That Possum," were musical sifting and highly seasoned with harmony. Noted in the ensemble was a lustful contralto voice and the reviewer was disappointed that no performance permitted in the moment. Taylors, author of "Born to Be" and concert partner of Rosmond Johnson, is not successful in attempting to camouflage his voice in mixed ensemble music. However, there is a trifle to much 'emotionting' for either good taste or effect. One wonders why the Johnson programs do not bring to listeners such old favorites from his pen as "Cono Lone Songs Under Under," "Bleeding On "The Road to Monterey" and scores of others, yet in manuscript. "CHILLUN" FEATURE SERMON "Aunt Mandy's Chillun" appearing each Thursday evening over Station WOR, will preserve the Camp Meeting. A sermonette on "The Prodigial Son" will be preached by James B. Brown, bass with the Dixie Band. The song is characteristic Southern style, but modern in application. Of eight appropriate spirituals the featured number will be 'No Condemnation,' denied by Anderson, Antonio, Texas, the socialist with the group.

He has been acting for forty years but in recent years not hitting so well on engagements, plays Abraham, Susie, many years on the TOBA (southern concerts) and the Whitney brothers, Tutt and Salem, who years ago were road stars in "The Smarter Set." They've been at the stage game thirty years or more. Salem in the show is New York's Wesley Hill as Gabriel, who was a colored stage celeb long before Bert Williams became famous; Charles Moore had about reached the conclusion, there are no other ones so since "Tick Hour."

Now take for instance a few days past, when inadvertently I got out on an assignment to Good Hopa Hall, knowing that I was to cover a perfectly nice dignified banquet, arrived to find myself at a Numbers Writers' dance. Now don't ask me whether, when I found my mistake, I turned around and make tracks back to the office. Rather not—I was too busy using all my persuasive powers on the host trying to show me how to do the whole show. And did I succeed. And did I get an eve full? Ch. boy! People! Lots of them. All kinds of them. They were short girls and tall girls, fat girls and girls like slender willow reeds. There were high yellows and low yellows, chocolate browns and browns of every other colour. There were shiny blacks. There were whites and reds. There were raven hair, blond hair, red hair, indefinite hair. There was straight hair and straightened hair. There was crinkly hair. There were eyes that were as blue as sapphires and eyes that were as jetty as night. There were complexions, long hair and exquisites fresh from the drug store. There were old and there were young. There were men and there were women. There were with wide-eyes—nothing else what it was all about or whether they were sure they were enjoying this fandang of their sophisticated. There were jaded women with eyes that—cubes in dollars, and cents. There were tuxedos, business suits and just clothes. There were sweeping gowns of precious fabrics from the past, and sewed-up from the Jew shams. There was food. Bushels of food. All kinds of food—chewable and sippable—liquids in innocent soda pop bottles that were tougher than a flavored flaz water—buckets that they told me held the real thing, all foamy and everything. There was music. Two orchestras tunes. Couples swayed in the crowded hall, scarcely getting a half-dozen steps during the orchestral number. No intermissions. The second band was up. An behind-the-back audience, doing nothin' else but. "Jammed bodies. Perfume. Perfume at ten dollars an ounce. Perfume at ten cents an ounce. Smiles. Smiles that were joyous. Smiles that were leering. Smiles that were cynical. Everybody welcomes everybody else. No standing off. No sizing up. No introductions. No kneeling. No difference. Dance with this hour. Couldn't remember your face the next. In fact, can't see your face now for the smoke. One high chair. The next. knows the court and the court's well-earns. Hit the high spots now, for maybe tomorrow you hit nothing. Fifty-Year-Old Flapper Makes a Flip Writing in one of the popular magazines a few years ago, one of the women of the women writers purported to give just the exact who, what and how on this much discussed younger generation. Now, this lady, who admits to having trained her hair with tips, suggests in the book that what she says can be taken as the whole truth and nothing but the turt, because she isn't telling what she thinks but what she knows. The story goes that posing as a flapper she gets herself invited by one of the boy friends to attend a certain prom and thus in the role of spy, gets the low down on all the talk, petting, and being her best friend, all our grandmother's worst fears have come true. To begin with, I had thought that this young-generation-going-to-the-dogs stuff had abashed me and their furor about it. Now tell me, do you think anyone of her age could pass herself off as a flapper when she was being kidded. I think the bunch was giving her an eye-full. I think she was being run for her money. For this younger set may be dizzy but they are certainly For one thing, any boy friend who would take a fifty-year-old flapper to a prom would be raked out of the party, but a girl who other things, no girls who drink as she says those of her party did, would be tolerated by the other girls, and it is absurd to think that girls were drunk at the party, girls were drunk at the petting, now of course I am no authority, but just reason the thing out, there must have been a great deal more Dotty than I could imagine. Just took the lines and ambled on home from church some five or seven miles away, than today, when the boy friend is stepping on the gas Methyldene time, opportunity and lack of other interests. Personally if I had been back there, I suspect I should have been quite an indulgent myself, but a dainty needlework and yes, yes. Daddy or brother, or any other male on the horizon. Used it as a safety valve if nothing There are still a plenty of girls who are not unpopular and are still un- familiar. To be perfectly frank, none of us particularly want to think we are unkissable—we are not unkissable—we are self as just knowing that even in the matter of developing as much "come-hither" and "it as our grandmothers had" we are still in the lead, as well as our stripping them in dozens of other When you come to think of it, it is the older generation anwhow who has raised all this question of the terrible thins we are doing, and the most easy one is in the old flapper, self-admitted fifty-year-old flapper, they wanted a show and we put it on for them, and they swapped the whole thing of being any more than the grandpafriends were, if you ask me, is Show 10 Years Old "Shake Your Feet" company is entering its tenth year of trouping, according to Joe Carmouche, the producer and manager, while Michael played the Globe in the Cleveland, show.

Rod is to荷县 to荷县 given by Alderman Durant but he does go to the greater part of the evening outside the Durant home warming Lily dance, considerably with a tan, dapper youth. Finally Rod's friend drags him inside where he meets his hostess, dances with her, but step on her toes so much she has to stop dancing. The dapper, tan youth makes a cutting remark about Rod's clumsiness. But Lily averts trouble by taking Rod into the garden, and he tells her of his life in the city. She goes to the evening and the evening they go to the Swamp Hut, a notorious cabaret, where Reggie, the tan youth, gets drunk and stikes Rod, who refuses to retaliate. Lily thinks him a coward. However, she learns different a few minutes later when Wolf, a notorious gangster, snatches her out of Reggie's arms while they are dancing. Rod rescues her by knocking Wolf out. All of Wolf's henchmen then attack Rod, but he beats them off as Wolf regains consciousness and levels a gun at him. CHAPTER II AGAIN Lyla's sudden, shrill scream caused Rod to whirl toward her. She had thrown herself, heedless of her own danger, on Wolf's extended arm—the hand of which held the wicked-looking automatic. As her weight bore Wolf to the floor the weapon roared, belching a spout of flame and smoke into the floor. Wolf caused savagely, as he shook her from him and climbed to his feet. As the gun exploded, Rod had leaped toward him. When Wolf stood up and raised his weapon again, Rod ducked to the floor then dove into a hard tackle directly at his adversaries. The impact knocked Wolf to the floor. His gun flew out his hand, skidding out of reach. For a few tense seconds which seemed like hours to Lyla who still hovered near by, the two men rolled over and over on the floor, pummeling each other furiously. For an instant Wolf was on top of his opponent, but Rod wriggled like a snake and threw him off. Rod leaped slightly to his feet. He had waiting silently for Wolf to get up. Seeing the tail, bronze youth wering over him with ready fists, the force he had already felt. Wolf apparently decided not to get up, but the rotted staring malevolently at the driver looked at Rod inquiringly. "Get away from here in a hurry!" Rod commanded quickly. The car slid into motion almost at once. As the passed the car mean the traction to the Swamp Hut, they saw a patrol car backed up to the side- "Get up," Rod commanded curtly. "I've got some more coming!" Punctically Woll's eyes flashed as he gathered closely to witness the finale of the little drama, as though he were seeking help from some of his manhandled henchmen. "Lola begged, 'and let's get out of here before anything happens!'" As though on cue from her warrior a whistle shrilled loudly, yelled frantically. Instantly the fight was, forges as the crowd began milling around like stamped cattle in a war effort to escape. And to his arms effortlessly, and here her through the crown toward the rear of the place when his quick eyes, trained on the mountains to observe close-ups, small door almost encircled by pelts. The door opened into a dusky pass. Rod groped his way into the room, soft burden he was carrying, soft burden he was carrying to tenderly. Once he stumbled, his dashed her arms around his neck and held him tightly. In spite of the pain, he cared, he halted. In the darkness her brushed his swifty then she said in a low voice: "Wed better Rod, would be able to walk." He raided in this terrible place. Rod breathed deeply. "Gee whiz!" he ejaculated fiercely. "I didn't know anybody could be so sweet . . ." Again the arms tightened around his neck. "Tell me about it later," she communicated with a little catch in her voice, but let's get out of here while the getting's good." Obediently Rod stared toward the end of the pass. I was never so frightened in all my life. Lyla told him in a whisper, "as when those men attacked us to defend yourself so wonderfully." wood chuckled. "Anyone who has ever wangled cattle, and wrestled armor, is bound to have pleaded guilty. I was to box from one of our cowhands who had been a prize-fighter. All the felts on the place used to mix it with gloves. We had some tough battles!" The light which disclosed a short flight of stone steps, and another door. Rod Letla down with gentle reluctance, opening the door cautiously, he wove "in luck" he whispered to myself. "There is a taxi standing over the curb and I don't see any passengers. This door must open on my behalf. I am吞吞." The fire smoked rapidly. BAPTOMILLE Aspirin PHAZO Why do doctors specify Bayer Aspirin - and why should you be as particular? Because Bayer means genuine Aspirin, and genuine means safe. Bayer Aspirin is always the same and never harms the heart. Dependable relief from colds, headaches, neuralgia or rheumatism, and other pain; without any unpleasant consequences! BAYER ASPIRIN driver looked at Rod inquiringly. "Get away from here in a hurry!" Rod commanded quickly. "The car he passed the corner near the entrance to the Swamp Hut, they saw a patrol car backed up to the sidewalk. Officers were herding people info it roughly." Lyla shuddered "With the elections coming up this fall it certainly would have hurt tape, the raid. The newspapers would have played it up big just because I happen to be an Alderman's daughter. I don't know how to thank you." she added as she relaxed tiedly against him. Rod sighed happily. "You sure cared for me, my lady." he said warmly. "If you hadn't jumped on Wolf when you did I probably would be dead by now. It's I who should be thanking you." Well what did you expect me to do—Rod countered. "stand up and see that awful brush shoot out?" "Well that's what most girls would have done because they wouldn't have had either the nerve or the presence of mind to do what you did. Rod made mind to anyway what you would boys out on our ranch would call 'regular'." "Where to?" the driver asked popping his head back into the car. Lyla leaned forward to give him her address. "We have to go home right away?" Ro pleaded. "Can't we just ride around for a little white? Please Lyla?" The girl considered. "I really should be home now." she sighed. I would have to ride. Let's have the driver take us out along the Lake Shore Drive. It's O.K. with me." Rod gave the chauffeur new direction. Obediently the man swung his car toward the lake. He frosted lights made it became fresher, and tangy as they approached Lake Michigan. They swept, smoothly through a large park whose frosted lights made the dark macadam of the driveway gleam like dulce, and threw into shadowy relief. The driveway of hedge wood, flurrying green. Rod and Lyla were silent. Her shoulder rested lightly against him. Slwy he allowed his arm to go around her so that she lay in its half circle. She was not quite so bashful now, she observed fairly. He tightened his arm around her. His heart was pounding so that he feared she must hear it. "Why should I be now that I've found out that you are an awful-to-gosh' real person?" They fell silent again. By now they were on the broad Boulevard which ran parallel with the lake. In the east a ruddy glow foretold the imminence of dawn, and it unfolded the rolling dark lake whose lace was up on the strip of the闷热的 beach. PART I AFRO-AMERICAN THE DANCE Rod lifted Lyla into his arms effortlessly and bore her through the crowd toward the rear of the place. "It's beautiful!" Rod exclaimed, as he stared at the waters. "I've never seen so much water in my life. Gee, I'm coming swimming over here a lot." "Take me with you?" Lyla demanded. "The time—anywhere." Rod promised recklessly. Then he added "That is if your little boy friend isn't around." "Oh—Reggie." Lyla sighed. "I'd forgive you all about him? I wonder what he said when he deserted me so beautifully?" Rod lifted Lyla into crowd toward the rear "I hope he fell off in a ditch somewhere." Rod said morosely. "Don't be like that. Rod," Lydia begged. "He isn't worth such a dark thought." She rubbed her nose reflective." Now just what will I do? "You aren't asked to him, are you?" Rod asked significantly. Lyla laughed. "Why of course not, silly. But she said more seriously. I am engaged him." Engaged him. Rod echeed. "But it isn't a love affair at all. I really don't like him much," she hastened to add. "But you see right now its rather important for Dad to stand in your way. The baker and has lots of influence. At least till after the elections this fall," she explained. She felt Rod's arm bulge and harden. "Glad you told me," he exclaimed, with a trace of bitterness. I suppose we made an awful fool of myself." "Don't be that way, Rod," Lydia begged. "Just as we are becoming friends too. Can't you understand me?" "Oh sure," muttered the youth. "I'm unreasonable. I know. It just hurts to know that you are engaged — to — to —" "You were about to say —" Lyla "Oh you know?" Rod cried. "I feel like I'd known you a long time—a very long time." "I feel that way too." Lyla confided, smuggling deeply into the nulled sleeve by his arm and shoulder. She peered up at him impishly. Won't you please, sir, make your arm nice and soft for Lyla? she wheedled. Rod laughed unevenly then swept her to him. Their lips met electrically. She pushed him away gently after few seconds of the breathless silence. "Do you really love me like that?" she asked with a startled laugh. "Do I?" Rod began just as the taxi driver again stuck his head inside to ask, "Well, where do you folks want to eat?" Rod frowned at the interruption. "Home." Lyla instructed as she gave the address. It was growing brighter, and the sun's glow was stronger now. sull's girl was such a sultry, "do'll tell me and shoot you, "she warned Rod rudely. "Here we are dragging in and it's daylight!" "Give me another kiss," Rod demanded. Shily Lyla turned her lips to meet his. "Now I'm not afraid of you," she said. "I have claimed diligently. "Not even my own," he added humorously. In a few minutes the taxi halted before Lyla's door. In the daylight she looked up at the big stone house which was very obviously the home of a rich man. Lyla climbed out of the car, waving Rod back as he would have assisced her. "And come back to see me tonight. Then you'll meet papa, and maybe I can get him not to shoot you after all." Lightly she ran up the steps where she turned to be held by her brother. "Adios, cowboy" she called gaily. Rod bowed as best he could, but was jerked back undignified as the taxi driver started the machine with a gun. He poured out of the window to see Lyla laughingly enter her home. PART II LYLA ARRIVES UNNOTIFIED Quintely the girl tip-up to her room, one was visible. In spite of the moment of the night, and the fact that she had had no sleep, her dark eyes were sparkling. When she had closed her door she began running a little tune.

Reclested in the floor, she bottled a fragrant bath salts into the steaming water, then pruned back into her room to distrobe. She before the tall mirror of her dressing table she stared pensively at her reflection. Her curly, intensely black hair was wind-blowed and tumbled, and it formed a pictureque frame for her dressing table. Her small dainty carved mouth was slightly his arms effortlessly a of the place. parted, disclosing twin rows of teeth white enough, and perfect enough to have been gleaming seed pearls. Tiny rogish dimples gave her an air of elfish beauty. She came a face at herself, then stood up and with a wriggle of her supple, softly curved, golden body, slipped out of her silken sheath of an undergarment. A barbarian red and goth dressing. Growing threw it around her shoulders she again sat down before the mirror. "Old mirror," she whispered softly, "do you think that Rod fellow really likes me? Do you feel if you could please him? Well that Lyla likes him too—and plenty." Then with a grin at her own foolishness she fled to the bathroom where the steaming water was beginning to overflow onto the floor. PART II ROD LEARNERS' EXTENT OF DISD. DANGER Rod awakened suddenly as he felt a touch on his shoulder. Sitting up on his chair, Rod stood standing beside his bed. The light in his room burned brightly. Through his windows he could see the radiance of a street lamp outside. "Wake up, sleephead," the lawyer said. "I'm going to try to do, sleep, the clock around?" Rod scratched his head. "Gosh," he yawned, "what time is it anyway?" AFRO FA By AUNT Martin consulted his wristwatch. "It's now eight-thirty of a glorious spring evening," he announced. "Lily has been so happy that she happened to you. Only she didn't say 'hell.' She seemed worried for fear something had happened to you. She didn't know how can she be so smart. She slammed Rex on the back. 'Boy, you've raised plenty hell in this man's town, and no fooling,' he laughed admiringly, of how you bearded the Wolf in his own den, and slapped and bore her through the him and his whole pack down is all over town. Half the flappers I know want to meet you. You've become a voice changed by me. My voice changed it became serious. "But Rod you've got to watch yourself. That bird Wolf, is nobody plaything. He's really a tough guy on the southside, and what's more, he's in cahoots with 'Broken Nose Cappell, the biggest bootleger in Chicago, and maybe even in the four, Wolf used be his choice, then he get- in the game for himself. "This Wolf's got plenty of money, and he's smart. He owns a couple of cars, and he's besides that he owns the Swamp Hut—and that's why he's not liable to forget your coming down in his own joint and making a fool of him in the way of women, and most fellows just laugh it off because they are afraid of him. Police think he is responsible for several murders, and Marym used to light a cigarette. Rod yawned widely and said: "Marty, you know I've met a lot of so-called badmen out in Montana—gays who would as soon shoot an apa. Somehow or other your tale about this tough guy doesn't worry me very much." Martin sat down on the bed beside him. "Now you listen to me, you hot-headed fool," he said, his eyes probing into Rod's. "this is no ASHIONS T DILSEY joke. They do things in Chicago that they never thought of in Montana. And I'm telling you that that bozo you beat up is really liable to do you some harm. You be careful! "Rod grinned. 'Oh, all right, old man,' he said. 'I just carefully careful. But what, he asked with more interest, 'did Lila say?' "She said that you had a date with her tonight." Martin said, smiling again, "and she practically ordered me to bring you to her dead or alive, and I would say, 'Boy for an alleged green kid, you are one swift worker. Reggie's apt to punch you in your nose again if you don't watch out," he chortled. the next time," Rod growled. "I didn't sock him last night because he was drunk and because—I—he—" "Oh, yeah," Martin broke in. "I know. It was because you thought Lylia liked him. She's already got him." He rocked skyhigh. She told me that for a minute she thought you were a coward in spite of those big shoulders of yours, but after she saw you go into action against those gangsters who kept you from rocking him, which kept you from sucking him. And, oh yes I was about to forget it. There was a Jew in the Swamp But when you did your battling last night—a prize fight manager that—know. He's crazy to talk to you. He's crazy to talk to you. He thinks he hopes to sign you up as one of his fighters." Rod grinned. "What kind of a prize fight would I make?" he asked lightly. A cracking good one if you are asking for advice. Martin advised, "Not that I want you to go into the game. But you might talk to him anyway. He's a swell fellow. He wants to see you tomorrow, and he's coming up to my office at four in the morning for a drop showing up there at that time?" "Sure," agreed Rod. laughing, "Maybe he can make a champion out of me." This friend cried. "Now hustle into your clothes and let's go over to Lyla's before she worries herself to death over her fighting sweetie." Rod accomplished his dressing with dispatch and was whisked to Lyla's home in Martin's car where the latter left him. "Go to run along," he told Rod. "Capture a data myself. Good luck and don't let the old man scare you to death," he warned as he drove away. Rod shook his fist at him, then spring up the stairs and rang the door. "A maid opened the door. "Mr. Herrick?" she inquired. When Rod acknowledged his identity she continued: "You are expected. Will you please come in?" Rod noted anew the elegance of the home with its highly polished floors and furnishings that were expensive even to his untrained eye. The man let him down the hallway "Go right inside," she bade him. "Hell, Rod!" Lyla greeted him effusively. How are you after last night's marriage?" "Just fine." Rod returned a little abashedly. This charmingly garbed creature who stood before him smiling was a new Lyla, from the clinging, disheveled girl of the night before. "I want you to meet my father," Lyla told him as a spark, grey haired man seated in a chair raised keen brown eyes over the edge of the paper he was reading. Lyla led Rod to Papa this is Rod," she cried. The elder man stood up and extended his hand. "Meet you, Mr. Herrick." he said drol. "I've heard quite a bit about you today. Allow me to thank you for so gallantly defending my daughter last night." Rod said confusedly. "I guess I'm a kind of roughneck anyway." "Well, I like your kind of roughnecks," Alderman Durant told him more firmly. "He's your friend. You decided what you are going to do this summer?" "Er-that is not yet." Rod stammered. Lily naudged him slyly. "He's to find to a job daddy, she explained. "Couldn't you get him one?" Her father smiled austerely. "Not so fast young lady. You see, I was a man. Do you know who the man was whom you beat up last night?" he questioned Rod. "Yes sir, my friend Thompson to him about this him evening; Rod replied with a faint grin. "Well, you mustn't underestimate him, the alderman warned. "When you got the best of him and his gang publicly you hurt where he is ten years old, but you have no intention of turning away from him or anybody else." "Oh, all right, all right," the politician said hastily. "but be careful. Lyla's eyes were shining. Oh dear, you take care of himself you'd understand what he means!" she cried. "Very well." the man smiled at her. "但让 hope that no one will meet you." he continued, "extending his hand again, but you will have to excuse me as I have an engagement. He regarded his daughter. Lily has kept me here to meet you." "Dad likes you!" Lily exulted when her parent had left the room. "so very much." Bed observed wryly. "If you knew him better you'd think differently." Lyia explained, "I'll bet he'll get you a good job," she added. "I wish you hadn't asked him about a job." Rod said frowning a little. a job," Rod said frowning a little. "Yes, I know how you feel but I've always managed to knock along by my own efforts." Rod explained. "You can help me to help you. I don't care!" Lyla pouted as she flounced away from him. "I didn't need to hurt your feelings, dear," he cried contritely. "Please don't take it that way!" Lily was taking away him, in him, and had her in his arms. For an instant she held herself away from him, but the hurt look in his eyes made her relent. Silky her arms crept around his arm, and he instantly. He crushed her to him. "I love you little Lily," he whispered. "I do love you so!" The girl smiled mistily. "All of a sudden?" she asked all. "All of a sudden?" Rod confirmed. Lily reached up on tip-toe to rumple his hair. Then she slipped into the leather chair and threw himself into red leather chair. Rod threw himself at her feet and kissed her hands. "It's nice to be in love," he observed. "I'm happy." "Is it?" Rod asked innocently. "Tell me about it." Then the hours fled unnoticed as the two young folks exchanged rapt conversation. When at last Rod glanced at his face, he astonished to see it was midnight. He rose at once. "I didn't mean to stay so long. Lyla." he said contritely. "You must send me home when I overstay next time." "You big country boy." Lyla laughed.

Slave Tunnel Found in City of Worcester WORCESTER, Mass. — A labyrinth of tunnels and cells, believed to have been a part of the underground slave railway constructed more than a hundred years ago, has been uncovered in the district of this city. These underground cells, 30 or more in number, and covering a city block, have massive brick walls and floors, impregnable and sound proof. Stories recalled by old residents here surround them with all kinds of legends of romance and intrigue, from gruelling prize fights to gambling in the most often linked with the system of slave hiding places before the war. DO YOU KNOW- Dr. W. GRADINER JONES St. Patrick was not an Irishman. He was born in Tours, France. His real name was Succet. His father's name was Japhrus, and his mother's name was sister of St. Martin, the Bishop of Tours. At the age of twenty-five, James Conrad, famous master of the English language, could not speak a word of it. A perfect square egg was laid by a hen owned by James Cook of New Bedford, Mass. In 1927, James Lauvier, of Edinburgh, sneezed 690 times in succession the big city. Must you go?" "Yes I must." Rod said regretfully, "I've got to land in this town and I want to get up early to start my landing." Lyla escorted him to the door "Coming back to see me real soon?" she asked. "She was as soon as you'll let me." Rod assured her. Then he drew her into his arms. His kiss was gentle almost reverent. Lyla closed her eyes for an instant, then she pushed "Boy friend," she laughed nervously, "your kisses make me drunk. You'd better fly before I kidnapp you." Rod walked down the driveway to the door, where he treads on air. The fragrance of the girl lingered with him, and the feel of her soft lips was warm on his. He essayed a little jig step and he treads on air. "I'm in love, so in love, with Lyla." Suddenly he felt a sharp pressure in the middle of his back. A harsh voice grated warning: "Don't move, or I'll burn your belly off. Reach for the sky." And keep walking! Rod's heart leaped wildly and his legs were shaky, then he managed to regain some of his composure, and then he At the sidewalk the bulky outline of a long automobile loomed darkly against the glare of the street light, and the wooden podium what he knew to be a gun. The door of the ear swung open. "Get in fella!" the man behind the door said. "You are going for a little ride—and you are not coming back-alive!" - END OF CHAPTER TWO - What enemy of Rod's is this? Is it another of Lyla's suitors? The answers to these questions will be revealed in next week's installment of this thrilling serial, "The Dark Knight," which brings out a new and unexpected angle of Chicago's notorious gang wars.

TALIAFERRO Beginners in Bridge selcom play at No Trump, while the more advanced Bridge players try at all times to make No Trump declarations. The reason for this is very apparent. Beginners are not well enough acquainted with the requirements for No Trump declarations. Beginners are not one of the most interesting features of Bridge, makes all suits have equal ranks. With a suit named as trump and with shortage in other suits, these short suits can be ruffled on the second or third suit. In this case, the trump this cannot happen because all suits have equal rank. Against a suit bid it is necessary to cash all high cards as soon as possible so that players try to establish different suits in such a way as to capture tricks with low cards as well as with high cards. In order that beginners of Bridge may be able to differentiate between initial suit bid hands and final No Trump hands I shall give you the No Trump requirements. You know that a long, strong suit should be bid. If your hand contains a Five-card suit headed by the Ace, you can quickly trick in other suits, or, if it contains a four-card suit headed by Ace-King or Ace-C Queen or three honors, with one or more quick tricks in your suits, your hand calls for a suit bid. But with no five-card or four-card suit with the above mentioned strength a No Trump bid of one suit is not a good idea. To make this more simple I will say that, an initial bid *b* of one No Trump can be made if: (a) it is a average (everage) with three suits safely (see suits stopped), or (b) Your hand contains two powerful short suits (see short suits). **Average** A hand that contains one Ace, one King, one Queen and one Jack is considered as having the average holding of high cards. These honors can all be in one suit or divided as far as averages and one Trump declaration they must be divided among three suits at least. **Suits Stopped** A suit is considered safely stopped if it has at its head, either the Ace alone or with one or more others), the Queen, the King, the Jack and at least one other, the Queen and at least three others, the Jack-Ten and at least two others, or the Jack and at least four others. The last three combinations, the Queen and three others, the Jack and at least two others, and the Jack and four others) stop a suit but are very light assistance for a No Trump and for that reason are not recommended as suit stoppers in No Trump declarations, but if either is depended upon the suit must be stronger than specified above. A powerful short suit is one of two or three cards which contain an Ace, a King, or a Queen. With the exception of two Ace-Queen-Ten suits, a hand which contains any two of the combinations mentioned is strong enough to win. A short suit containing four cards is not a short suit and places the hand under a four-card suit bid. Bidding a two suit No Trump is a better than the average to understand them. Again, they are a rare situation in Bridge. Usually you have one ace in a suit which is strong enough to a justify suit. Therefore to make an initial No Trump declaration your hand must be above the average and must safely stop three suits. If your hand contains a worthless singleton a blank suit or a worthless singleton contains a blank suit NEVER, bid No Trump. You can readily see that with a blank suit or a worthless singleton a No Trump declaration would place your hand in jeopardy, as the opponents most likely will hold the initial lead will cash enough tricks at the start not only to stop you from going game but will usually defeat your contract. No Trump As I have said No Trump is one of the most interesting features of Auction Bridge and the sooner you learn about it the sooner you will be considered a good Bridge player. You must learn to establish your suits at No Trump, whether you are playing against the declaration or are Declarer yourself. It is the establishment of the suits in your hand, and the cards of the suit as well as with the high ones that makes No Trump so fascinating. Last week I received a petition from several leading Bridge players of Baltimore asking me to reconsider my refusal to sponsor a Bridge Tournament at the close of the season. This petition will be published in full next week, and will include my reply. But at this point I can say that I never hear from some of the ladies clubs), to convince mt that a local Bridge Congress is desired by the many as well as the few, my first decision will remain unchanged.

AVENUE IKE DIXONS ORCHESTRA ADMISSION 50c PRELIMINARY GAME UNKNOWNS vs Imperial Eagles NEXT BIG GAME FRIDAY, APRIL 4th "Fixing" of Boxing Matches More the Rule than Exception. Case of Western Heavyweigh Cited By WILLIAM PICKENS NEW YORK, (ANP) — A heavyweight prize fighter let me in on the whole confounded rotten business. He was from the West. He had been sent for to come to New York City and "fight" with the European gent whom they are now grooming for championship honors, with large publicity and many catchwords, as a huge fighting demon, etc. etc. "I am in the fight racket," said this colored gentleman of the ring, who had just done his turn with the European giant. "I know who you afford to tell you the truth about it." Then he explained in great detail that an honest-to-goodness fight is not known in any big place now, — that he is not the "big money"; that big business has taken over the promotion of fighting, not to determine "the best" fighters; that they accordingly take a man who has some attractive feature, like a big hulk of a body and a queer name and strange nationality and push for a new fight; that he can create a million-dollar gate. And even the million-dollar gate fight may be "fixed." "It's a poor innocent who has been killed days unless he knows which way to bet, — unless he is in the racket," said my prize-fighter fellow traveler. Given $5.000 Before Fight Then he told how he had been summoned out of the west to help push on the prominence of this new slugger, — how he was given $5,000 for his first win, — how to make sure of his good behavior, he was two receive two thousand dollars more after the fight, — if the right man won, — which was the other. "They wouldn't let me shoot," he said, or it might have been hard for them to judge the other fellow the winner even on points. Then he bought a pair of bikes — bills of $500 and $100 denominations, sticking in his shirt pocket and pinned in with a safety pin. — more money than he had seen any other bank. But after the fight was over and the protege of the big money interests had been allowed to win on points, like any crooked business, they tried to cheat this black fighter from the out of his extra two thousand. But he was smart; he had kept the letters with them they had mistaken him — and he threatened to go before the State Boxing Commission with these letters. — and they came across. Then they offered to take the letters back, to take them again; he suddenly remembered that he had left the letters at home. But he had the letters with him when I met him in the Pullman car returning to the hotel with the letters with him and they knew he had them, they would use foul means to get them. He may need them, too, for future use. Just a Racket And why does this individual engage in such business? He explained: "I could not make money like that in straight fighting. It is a business now.—a racket. Jack Dempsey was the last fighting champion.—and I suspect him in the Philadelphia fight,—but he made an honest trv to get it back in Chicago. If he fell for the vacket at Philadelphia, he had fallen out with them when the Chicago fight came on.—" So in the future, it seems "champions are to be made in the same manner" and for the same purpose that Firestone plants a few hundred thousand acres of rubber trees, at great care and cost, in Liberia; for future profits. No real sport can survive "big money". RIFLE TEAM IN COMPETITION WILBERFORCE, Ohio.-(ANP.)- The Rifle team of the Wilberforce University R.O.T.C. Unit is to compete in the National R.O.T.C.

MAY FIGHT CARNERA Towel Saves White Boy from Taking Count. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., (Special). — Smiling George Godfrey, massive Leiperville heavyweight, celebrated his return to the ring Monday night with a technical knockout of Jack Gross, white, Salem baker boy. At the end of one minute and seventeen seconds of the fifth round the towel was tossed in, as Gross, reeling and rocking from a barrage of terrific rights to the head, was on the verge of being knocked cold by Godfrey. George is Master Big Gawge was master of the situation all of the way, starting early in the first round with a series of jabs to Gross's head and face that soon had the claret streaming down the cheek. The ball was law left to Godfrey's chest and tummy, but they bounced back like an India rubber ball. Godfrey won every round on points. In the second round the fighters came up short, but Gross proved practically as ineffective, even at the closer range, while Godfrey let飞 a pack of uppercuts and heaved a jarring right to his opponents' jaw that sent him reeling across the field. Godfrey sounded for the end of the round. Hits George Low Godfrey began to mix them up in the third, ripping loose with left now with rights, to round out that Gross struck a low blow and though Godfrey complained, he kept on fighting. It was evident as the fourth round started, that George was on his knees in with bombardment of blows that had the baker boy hanging on at every opportunity. He was rocking like a front porch chair as the round ended, and the fans knew that the end was not far away. More rights to the jaw and head did the trick before the fifth round of Gross, tossing a white towel into the ring in token of surrender. Serious damage might have been done Gross had not his manager acted as he did; for Godfrey with a vicious two-fisted attack. May Meet Carrera The boom for a. Godfrey-Carner fight has increased here with the announcement that Pete Tyrell, white, of the Stallion, the Stadium for the outdoor season, and have made bountiful offers to Leon See, Cararner's manager, for a fight between the two mammoths of swat this summer. Godfrey's services have already been extended winter by the Arena management. Duncan Wins Willie Henry, California, dropped a decision to Jimmy Herman, white, after six wild rounds of fighting. Both are heavyweights. Lee Duncan, 167 3-4, from Godrey's stable, kept the Dougherty colors, scoring a win about over the St. Louis St. 170, local fighter, in the fourth round. OMEGA, 23; ALPHA, 20 NASHVILLE, Tenn.—In a heated contest that could only be decided by an extra five minutes of play, the Omega team defeated the Alpha team here by a score of 23-20, to win the fraternity title. Omega forged ahead in the first minutes of play by sinking a foul, only for the Alphas to come back and forge ahead with a spectacular shot from mid-floor. From then on, the game was nip and tuck, with the team ending 12-7 in favor of the Omega team. In the last minute of play, with the score 20-19 in favor of Omega, Thompson, of the Alpha team, shot a foul, tying the score 20-20. In the extra five minutes Whirlwind Johnson of the Omega team sank to sack the score. Shortly after this, Kendell of the Omega team sank a free throw.

Lincoln Lions Rout Pittsburgh Stars Score Thrilling 23-21 Victory over Veterans In Smokey City By PAUL TERRY PITTSBURGH, Pa. — The adage that "Youth must be served" asserted itself in an interesting basketball game at Duquesne Garden when Lincoln University defeated the Varsity Stars five with the famous Young and Betts, ex-Loenidi guards, in the lions' jumped into an early lead, with the elongated Sydnor and the elusive Smith setting the pace in scoring. Six points were registered by the Lions before the Stars found themselves. A pair of field goals by Johnny Moore were scored and a couple of free throws by Young and Moore were the only tallies made by the locals in the first half. Lincoln had garnered nine in this period. Young found the loop twice, or field goals and two field hits and Gus Neville registered one apiece, but two difficult shots which were scored by Hawkins and another by DeCosta, proved to be the "straws which broke the camel's back" for the locals.

The Nation's Biggest All Negro Weekly Johnson Loses on Foul to Rosenbloom as 15,000 How Hilltoppers Have Cinch in Routing Rivals in Annual "Classic." RICHMONDERS WILD Score Only One Field Goal in Second Half. PETERSBURG, Va.—As a fitting climax to an impressive season, Virginia State completely outclassed Union in a rather onedisputed basketball game in State's gym, 42-14. Playing with the inspiration and confidence of a real machine, the Hilltopters played rings around an inferior Panther aggregation. Only once during the encounter, that in the first half, did Union display any semblance of a Richmond team. During that brief period, the Hilltopsters played on a spree, dropping two neat field goals and a free throw to close up a wide gap in the score. From that point on, the outcome was never in doubt. The Hilltopters, using two teams with telling effect, outpressed and outshot their rivals to lead 21-12 at the half. The second stanza led to the second stanza found the new demoralized Union boys passing wild and shooting wilder, scoring but one field goal and no fouls during this last twenty minutes of play. Statewide, the Hilltopsters led by Pennington, scored another 21 points without seemingly effort. The score might have been even greater had the Hilltopters not contented themselves with possession of the ball and a dazzling exhibition of floor For Union Ellis led the scoring with six points. Keller with five ran his captain a close second. Robinson, a point man with 5 field goals, all made in the first half. He was followed closely by Pennington and Hall, each with four field goals. In the primary, the Trade Tech Five, champions of the Intra-Mural series, lost a close game to the Junior Varsity, 17-16. WORDE AGAIN HEADS JERSEY RACKETERS Miss Elverta Marcellus Retains Position as Leading Woman Player NEWARK, N.J. — Solomon (Happy) Worde, of Elizabeth, once more leads the New Jersey tennis players, according to the ratings for the year 1923. This marks the fourth time that the Elizabeth youngster has been rated at the No. 1 position in Jersey, having captured these laurels previously in 1923, 1925 and 1927; but she has been rated lower than his last years rating in No. 4 place. Miss Elverta Marcellus of Plainfield, is again the ranking woman player, winning the same place she held previously in 1923, 1925 and 1928. Some of the more important changes in this years' ratings are. Harvey Butler of 1928 returned to his 1927 rating as No. 2. forcing Lester Granger and Henry Williams down one place each to third and fourth positions, respectively. George Hill of Montclair, who dropped from No. 1 of last year. William Willis fills the next place. Victor Craig, who played last in 1925 as a junior crowds Granger and Logan McWilson still remain in the first ten as eighth and ninth respectively. Lorraine Clark: is No. 9. The Woman's Singles also show some change in the select circle the first five). Miss Muriel McCrorey of Trenton, a new comer in the game, grabs on the second place. Mrs. Saffron Baldwin, her relables, is No. 3. Miss Florence Holcombe's consistent game brought her fourth place with Mrs. I. Davis of Elizabeth, back in the game after year's anbelfice, in the fifth position. The splitting up of the Wordo Brothers as a doubles team caused Solomon to pair with William Willis and pulled into first place, while Kenneth teamed up with Clinton Henry to make a double. The Tanger Brothers (Lester and Rudolph) were given the runner-up position. The honor place in the Mixed Doubles again falls to Miss Marellus and Mr. Wills, who after two years playing with other partners, paints again at the first place, which they had on three occasions previously. The Woman's Doubles produced a new combination in Dr. Beatrice Vanderweyers and Mr. Mark work brought them the coveted No. 1 position. Herman Marrow won his last junior rating as No. 1 player in the junior singles. DeHart A.C.

Mut Bradford, elongated seven-footer, and Dosy Smith, dimutive junior in the Coatesville High School, played rings all around the frat boys, until the DeHarts had two.

The game was officially started by the original Candy (Ki) Chocolate who scurried for the ball as Howard swooped down the ball and started her whirlwind passing and machine-co-operation that ran her up to the long end of 16-6 at the close of the first half. Lincoln Comes to Life The Chester Valley boys were entirely aware for the first fifteen minutes and looked helpless before the lithered but well-armed Iwain looked like a cinnamon for the Capitol Hill tossers, and their cheering section commenced to roar its approval and delight when Howard came out of play. This lasted for a comparatively short while, however, because the Lincoln boys came back in the second half of play, and the examination in their attack that completely crushed Howards wall of defense, much to the surprise of spectators on both sides.

It wasn't long before Howard was in a bad way, struggling valiantly to keep ahead, but with only a few minutes left, the train came through with a basket that robbed many a Howard breast of hope and sent the Lincoln supporters tumbling out of their chairs.

The Afro-American, Baltimore, Saturday, March 15, 1930 Hear Me Talkin' To Ya By BILL GIBSON NNOUNCEMENT this week that the annual Baltimore Health Week race will be run April 28 should be the signal for aspiring distance runners in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia to begin limbering up, as this event marks the beginning of the outdoor track season in the Eastern region, the Hampton, Howard, and Lincoln relays following shortly after. The selection of April 28 was reached after the committee pondered whether a wrist tie up on another date, since the Penn Relays would be on that day and there will be some athletes who would like to be entered in both events. But there was no other way out, so the date of April 28 stands. This year's race should be more colorful and exciting than any held in previous years, if for no other reason than that Edgar Lee, of Washington, and John Carroll, Baltimore, each having won the race will be striving to turn in a third victory and gain permanent possession of the Royal Theatre cup which has been offered for four years. In previous years the showing made by high school athletes has far outclassed that of their collegiate competitors, but this year it is expected that the latter group will furnish some keen competition. Details concerning the race will be released as plans develop, and we the committee working zealously, all indications point to a race that will be bigger and better than any previous one. And that's no bologna. AND WHILE this department thinks of it, let a word be dropped to the twirlers of horseshoes, that the coming of the warm weather will afford an excellent opportunity to begin practice, for hardly before you can say the proverbial Jack Robinson it will be time to be thinking of tournament play. This popular outdoor sport, which is fast restaging the position of a favorite aerial ace of the world, must last your year, if one can judge by the interest shown in various tournaments. And this year an even larger number of enthusiasts is expected out in an effort to nestle the unuily equine foot around a round iron peg. A persistent practice, and the master's skill of the wrist, is arranged in order to qualify as a horse-shoe pitcher. Clay-filled boxes, six or four feet square, and placed at the regulation distance of 40 feet from the foul line, are as essential in practice, if not more so than in actual competition. Begin this year with a practice, this is a reminder to the old horseshoe enthusiasts and a suggestion to those who chave not participated in the game before, to take advantage of the coming spring days and get in some practice. Certainly, you won't regret it. HERE has been a decided slump in girls' basketball in this old burg during the past four or five years, for not since the days of the Celeritas and Oroides have there been teams composed of the species that have been worth a telegram home about. It is true that when Charlie Drew was out at Morgan College those lassies presented a rather well balanced team that was a plenty of trouble to the opponents they met during the course of the season. But even this group lacked the fire and the enthusiasm of Glaesner, Taylor, Marie Springs and Glaesner Gaines, who, teamed as the Oriles, literally burned up Maryland cage circles with their excellent playing. But since their passing from the scene of action there seems to have been a powerful damper put on the interest in feminine petition in basketball, the girls, and within a coalition of Glaesner Gaines, and the Morgan College Girls have been making an attempt to revive that interest, but their failure to show their wares to a basketball-loving public more than once or twice a year, and that, at almost the close of the season, has not been a productive of the best results in restoring the enthusiasm which once was. It is to be regretted that such the case, as it adds more weight to the growing belief that Baltimore girls are backward in athletics. This pillar, therefore, would like to see a decisive refusal, such assertion, considering the talent from which can be moulded any number of girls' teams. The probable ballyhoo that the sport is too strenuous is like the sailor's bed—it's the bunk. Of course it is too late for this year and probably far too early for season to talk about this matter, but it will get it off my chest before the 1800-3 season rolls round, you'll hear some more about it. SOMEONE has pointed out to this galley slave that there seems to be a controversy going the rounds concerning the general subject or basketball officiating. So far has matter gone, this department has probably allowed a couple of times with Washington and Baltimore as the warring factions, may be soon precipitated. It has been hinted that Washington high schools may sever relations with Douglass and that Howard and others may be involved in other other's choice of basketball officials. So tense is the feeling, a spy informs, that it may be only a matter of minutes before Maryland's First Separate Company and the Capital Guards will be doing bloody battle, all because of this basketball officiating business. To this pill all is nothing but nonsense. It is true that the players be acquaints raised but they have been unnecessary. Many, many columns back, the writer argued that it is a highly advisable thing to use as officials only competent men, who have in no way, however remote, any affiliation with participating teams, be obtained by taking blood into associations that have as their purpose the promotion of high type, efficient officiating. With that in view, local officials met and organized the Baltimore Board of Officials. In Washington there is the Eastern Board of Officials in the Monumental City, destined to serve with the players for a get-together. As this is being written, there has been no answer received, and there are any number of interested folk who would like to know why. There is no doubt that there have been mistakes made in this writer's official of both groups in the case of those mistakes have not been accidental. Mistakes made due to ignorance, while they have the same effect, cannot accurately be placed in the same category as the intentional errors. As a group, we are sorry in need of good basketball officials who can be used to help them. We also have the responsibility that they have a remote or unconscious interest. Competent men are as scarce as the proverbial hen's teeth. So from where I sit it appears that what is needed more than anything else is a frank getting together on the part of officials in the two cities concerned with the development of young officials. econology Difference in the interpretation of rules may come in for its share of discussion, but the chief problem lies in getting over the fundamentals. Then the finer points will follow in order. G OOGING through the sportive realm, looking ahead, looking back, and looking around, one finds many interesting things, and some of these things may be worth mentioning, as one or two of them have what may be called a Ripleyan flavor. Glancing through some clippings of not so long ago, 1926 to be exact, one finds the following interesting bit of information. During a game between the Celtics and the Falcons, white Ed (Ref. after cover photos) plays a total of 50 points, the Celtics win, the game by a 73-30 score. But not to be outdone, Henry Powden, in a game played the following week between the St. Barnabas Aces and the Reliance Club, white scored 26 field goals for 52 points. The game, incidentally, was won by the Aces, by the overheard call to 27, a game that was the most mog, but it's true. record Larry Johnson, after being Latzed, finds himself in the middle again by missing a Rosenbloom. And with spring approaching, too. Add ballyhoos: The New York Collegians-Renaissance game. The Godfrey-Carmer fight. Wonder how the Lincoln Lions feel when they let a tie for the CLAA championship slip out of their grasp when they lost to Howard in New York. A lucky break for the Bisons, eh? In a short time Jack became a matador. He made his first public appearance, July 10, 1916. He was impressive in the ring, wearing the picturesque costume of a bull fighter. The bull, a ferocious, snorting monster, was family subdued by Jack's delivery of the fatal sword thrust. GRIFFIN IS GIVEN NOD OVER WILBUR COHEN Fans Divided on Verdict as Philadelphia's Hand is Raised. KID NORFOLK WINS Hayes Scott, Pedro Lorenzo are Victorious. Fans were divided in opinion Tuesday night, a referee Referee Charlie Short, white raised aloft the gloved hand of Battling Griffin, scrapping young Quaker City boy, in token of a decision, after 10 rounds, over Wilbur Cohen, New York veteran of the squared circle, at the New Albert. They were divided because of the diversity in style displayed by the two ringmen, and so close was the contest that the judges turned in a 46 to 44 point rating. Griffin represented the slugging showman, and in pitting the two styles of fighting, one against the other, the judges found themselves in a dilemma but wriggled out. Griffin Favored Because of his youth and his splendid style of fighting shown in his victories over Willie Smith and Young Harry Wills, Griffin, who worked his way through the semi-final and to the main bout, had most of the fans rooting for him. There were many Cohen supporters, who, too, felt that the man, a veteran of more than 13 years in the ring, would outsmart Griffin. Cohen Coasts Cohen, unfortunately for himself, did not open up the court to the fans, so content to coast along and clown every now and then. It was in these rounds that Griffin piled up his winning points. Not unaware of the fans' content to show the fans some of his old tricks, but when he did, he clashed away with a shower of jolting punches that had Griffin backing away from him. In the fifth and sixth both boxers landed damaging blows, slugging toe-to-toe to the delight of the fans who applauded wildly. Cohen began dealing terrific rights to Glover's head in the ninth, seventh and eighth, but in the ninth Griffin cut loose with an attack to Glover's head and face that had the New Yorker holding on to the ropes in one corner, and the other offering a defense. The final round found both boxers wary and holding often. Twice they met in the center of the ring and exchanged blows, but nothing damaging was Norfolk Wins Pedro Lorenzo of Cuba, opened the card with a win over Flack Paddy of Chester, Pa., after six rounds. Hayes Scott, local fighter, scored a technical knockout over Jack Robinson of Philadelphia, in the third round of a scheduled eight-round game, Kid Norfolk local favorite, won on points from Tiger Taylor of Washington, after eight rounds.

Inability to shoot fouls spelled doom for the Athenians when they were nosed out by a 32-30 score by the Rheims Post team of Atlantic City at the press table-less New Albert auditorium, Friday night. Man the Greeks dropped all of this. Fourteen free throws through the corpus in my would have been as visitors by two polls, as seen by losing by the same margin. The Rossien was now on the last airrows, successively taking six on them when the Amenas were given fourteen dropping a man over. Two STARS bushrae The number of committees under the commission in the vices vis- cus center, another non-commission- center, and its running mate. Osc- ount, were expensed from the gam- er committing four personal souls each. The latter entered a vigorous protest as to the commission of the laws that were called on him in success- ness resuming in his expulsion. The visions are recorded as having commission leisure to lenen to angroves. Born teams missed a number of setups, but close guarding by nooth made it necessary to parachute concentrates their attention mostly on the queues between food and Cutie Brown, hencerson and Sanders, staple Wheatley and the other teams to display exception work the customers to a frenzy. Rhelms Score First Ward, said by seashore rooters to be one or the fastest door workers in the East, starred the hostilities when he swished a neat shot through Alden's star forward of the visiting outfit, soon followed this with a saip in shot that called for a wild ovation. Henderson wheeled in a fierce array, indicated in rows his leg, dropped a break shot through the bucket to start counting for the local favorites. This was followed with a shot from behind the fifteen-foot time on the southside near Rheims. The Rheims Postmen were playing a strictly open man-to-man derense, while the Greeks were to take a break, which several times failed to be effective. The local forwards were cutting late and time after time they either sped past the spot where the ball landed, or being there. Still on numerous occasions they exhibited unusually fast and accurate passing. The visitors, however, showed evidences of a more accurate passing Aldrich, with six points, Ward with two, Sanders with five, Jackson with three and Todd satisfied. Jackson with one point at the half-way station. Cutie Brown, having four points, Henderson nine points, Jackson one point, one point, one point, a tabulated score of 21 while the visitors were seemingly satisfied to have 20 Visitors Take Lead An inaccurate pass at the opening in the second stanza gave Jackson, visiting guard, possession of the sphere and hand, in the bucket without touching the rim. Sanders, with one of his freak overhead shots, put the Rheims Post quintet in three-hit position. Joe Jackson, guard, dribbled down to the fifteen-foot line where he tossed a clean bull's eye into the basket to cut down the ball. Henderson, the Greeks again took the lead with a one-point advantage and nine minutes to play. From this point the ball came near. Near the end of the game Sanders committed his fourth personal foul on Henderson, causing him to be taken from the game. Henderson flipped the With three minutes to play the visitors sank their final goal, with Seay, dribbler extraordinary, in upper court alone. Todd, former teammate, threw the ball when he fouled Henderson, who missed the subsequent free throw. Getting the ball in their possession on several occasions in the last few seconds of play, the Athenians were unable to hurl a long drive to the team. The three several efforts were made which resulted in both teams exhibiting unusual roughness. "Slim" High Scorer Slim Henderson, elongated center, with twelve points, was high score man. Rapp Wheatley was run-up with a total of five points. Flash, was held real-less and sank a lone foul as his contribution to the scoring although he played a hard floor game. Teeny Drawn by FRED B.

Their meeting took place at Gothenburg and the outcome was a surprise, for Jack defeated the giant battler in a decisive fashion. 15 Brown and Dick Whittington substituting for Sheffy, played hard, but were unable to do better than their predecessor. Aldrich had high score for the visiting team with eight points. Chleftain Girls Win The Chleftain Girls took the Rhelms Post Girls team in camp at the score of 16-14 in the roughest and hardest fought girls' game of the season. The win of the local lassies broke the one-all tie. Two players, W. Thompson, of Chleftain, and A Britain of Rhelms girls, were forced from the game on personal fouls. The game was so rough that two players were treated at the Provident Hospital after the battle for injuries. Lee Rhelms cut out, had a jaw tooth knocked out and Miss L. Elder was given aid for a sprained shoulder. Alice Lake of the locals, suffered injuries of the face and leg.

Pour over this one pail of water and let settle before covering with remaining soil. Cut the shrub to half its size before planting. Shrubs planted in spring saldom bloom until the next spring, because it is usually past the blooming period and is then wrapped. However, they should up good, strong roots and bloom profusely the next spring. They should always be planted in the fall when possible; then they will bloom the following spring. Late bloomers, like the white clematis, may be planted in the spring and in the fall, upon reaching the size and the amount of the plant. Or three or three year old plants are best. How to Prune The safest way to prune is to know your plants. If the blossoms are probed on last year's wood, then prune it should be pruned in the fall. To prune them in the spring would be to cut away your blossoms. If, however, the blossoms are produced on the new growth springs from the ground or the buds from the ground, they may be pruned newly. pruned. The hydrangea, privet, honeysuckle mockorange, weigela, and clematis should be pruned now. After the flowering season is past, prune the flowering almond, golden- bells, spirea (red and white) etc. benis, spen at any time, the dead wood and withed blossoms may be cut from your shrubs and flowers that injure to them. The more you clip, the more they bloom, because the strength of the plant will go to the new bud instead of being taked to make or to seeds. It will take times as much strength to make seeds as it uses to produce blossoms. Dead blossoms should not be left on the plants except when seed is desired for future planting. If your shrubs have grown too large, prune them off the plant, to the roots and cut them in half. Add a bit of plant food to the soil before closing the hole. Plant the portion that won't taken out. The portion that needs to be done about once every five years and should be done late in the fall. Time of Blooming I have given you an array of shrubs that will bloom one after another from March until August, profusely with fragrant blooms. The snow ball hydrangea and red spirea will bloom until October. They are all so pretty, it is a joy to work with them. They are the most every climate. There are many more varieties of hardy shrubs and vines, but I have given you these because I know them. Vines When the season is right, plant vines, such as the moon vine and the purple bean, among your vines. They will bloom all through the shrubs and bloom profusely until the frost kills them. They have more fragrance than any flower in fairyland, and keep the shrubs from freezing, when their blossoming time is past. Flowers In front of your shrubs plant just oodies of red sage and Japanese lanterns. They are both very strong plants and bloom so abundantly that they have no substitute. In the late fall, cut the long strings of lanterns from the plants and take them to the bouquets. The Japanese lanterns will repeat year after year, but the sage must be planted each spring. Lawn Unless your lawn is pretty, the shingle should be replaced. If you need give much satisfaction. If you need a whole new lawn, either have it sodded or get a reliable catalog and follow directions specifically. If your lawn needs re-seeding in spots then the job is not a heavy one, and can be put into good shape in a very short while. Using a small garden fork, extract all weeds by the roots; rake off dead grass, and loosen the soil with a trowel. With an equal part of mixture of blue grass tap and white clover cover the bare spots, then cover the seeds with about three inches of soil and roll with a heavy iron roller. Sprinkle with a good plant food just before the snow. The results will be surprising. Signs In Dr. Miles's Almanac you will find the zodiac signs for planting everything. I follow them to the letter. The weather in your locality will govern your time of planting. I could ramble forever on flowers. I spend every available minute in my yard, spring, summer, and fall, and am repaid by having as many as thirty-five blooming, fragrant varieties at one time. I have my daily dozens with my hostite, and spade, and my revival is a pleasant place to rest in the shade when the sun is hot, and a perfect night's rest when day is done. Try it and you will find that nerves vanish, spring tonics are needless, and insomnia an unknown quantity.

In the issue of your paper dated March 8, 1930, there appears an article headed "Catholic Church Jim Crow Alleged," in which you print a statement purported to have been made by some nameless visitor from Myersdale. Pa., who complains of wholesale Jim-Crow practices against communicants of St. Paul's Catholic Church, Ellicott City, and its good pastor. Father Ryan. I feel deeply lullinted when I think that a leader of my race should publish such a libel on a friendly church and a noble man without at least making an inquiry concerning the facts. The article is misleading, unfair and untrue. It is misleading inasmuch as I have never heard of a white clergyman, or elsewhere, of any degree, of our people than Father Ryan, the Pastor of St. Paul's Catholic Church. He started our school with only two Catholic Children, furnishing a geography them. At the same time, and out of his own pocket, he paid tuition fees for several other children for higher education. The school he will supply an additional teacher as soon as the attendance justifies it. The article is unfair because what you were son of is the worstest church in fact the side chapel formerly allotted to the faculty and students of Rock Hill College, many of whom were son of such a school, the bestest are now occupying posts of higher; honor everywhere. Some white members of the congregation frequently share the same church. We are nearer to the altar than our white brethren who are placed in the main but usually over-crowded of the church to only The back of the priest is visible." The article is untrue because no difference whatever has ever been shown between the conduction of funerals for white or black persons in the church, and that sometimes occurs an unaccounted for delay after the funeral passes out of the church. This is accounted for by the fact that all priests are best trained to celebrate Mass and since they are all human like ourselves they usually stop at the rectory for a cup of coffee before proceeding to the cemetery. You can rest assured however, that our pastor is not the grave. In many cases he neither receives nor expects any material reward for his services. Regardless of the weather, at any hour of night, he never respond to a call to the bedside to humblest when they are sick or dying. This is a fair statement of the facts and can be vouched for by hundreds of Catholics and non-Catholics of this community and on occasion. In conclusion I take the liberty to invite you to make a personal investigation of conditions above referred to with full assurance that you will have a genuine welcome from MRS. and MRS. FRANK SCOTT, MRS. and MRS. FRANK SCOTT, Main Street. Continued from Page One disastrous results. The decision of the court leaves the way open for making color the basis of land own- orship in certain cases. This case was Primary and Shriner cases were decided in his favor. Was Reactionary President Obama was regarded con- cerned as a reason for police and it was this fact most of all that is believed caused the break between him and Roosevelt. That he was against labor in its stance as a reason for police when he was a court court judge in 1892 and granted an injunction against F. W. Whelan when the latter and Eugene Debs tried to up the sanction against him. He was against Filipino independence; and the tariff measure framed by his senator, Senator Aldrich, was regarded by Progressives as high hand- ed.

ASK YOUR DOCTOR—HE KNOWS! --- Coroner Probing Death of Employment Director Says that Policy Playing Comes Before Many Necessities. "The playing of the 'numbers' game is an eating cancer which has taken a gigantic hold in our group, particularly on the working class, male and female, and directly affects the labor situation." William B. Day, employment manager told an AFRO representative this week. "A jobless person will rake and scrape every cent he can in order to recoup his already depleted fortunes. The unemployed do this despite the fact that the chances are 1,000 to against them. They continue to play desperately day by day with all they get." new is $1.40. This is $7.80 more per year spent by each person for car fare. As a consequence, at a cost of $1,000,000 workers who ride the cars must pay this difference, which costs the group $12,000 yearly. Stock Crash Felt Several persons interviewed recently effect of the stock market crash on their customers or clients. Mr. Day differed. He said: "A condition which existed during and following the crash is very much of domestic help. Employers of domestic help have pared their expenses for help in proportion to their decreased income. Seemingly, this expense even now has more severe than any other. The unemployment of five per cent of the domestic workers can be "Their playing sometimes invokes laughable as we'll as serious thoughts," continued Mr. Day. "One would hardly believe that in the larger number of cases that when a player is injured, he will stop work, lay off until he spends his winnings." "Many say they pay themselves a salary out of this money during their rest period. The 'number game' is one of the factors that is causing race to lose millions of dollars per year." Car Fare A factor. Another factor causing the loss of money is the recent raise of car fares. Explaining how our group lost, Mr. Day continued: "Day laborer and the working man paid by the week, who form the mass of our group, carry the entire load of the raised fares. The domestic helper, however, feels the salary is smaller. In six out of ten cases, her employer refuses to pay the small difference in rate between the two."

Mr. Day differed. He said: "A condition which existed during and following the crash is very much different. The domestic help have paved their expenses for help in proportion to their decreased income. Seemingly, this expense has been shaved more severely."[1] The unemployment of five per cent of the domestic workers can be readily attributed to the crash. The fact that wages have been lowered in most cases is also directly attributed "One cannot easily figure what the race loses in this respect. If fifteen cents per week in car fare amounts increase, then just estimate the loss of an average wage of $10 per week to several thousands over an average period of three or four months. It would run up approximately to another quarter of a million. *One Million Lost* "One million dollars is lost to the race by the stock market crash and the raised car fares alone." DR.
